“I think”… aka I don’t have a freaking clue. EPA hands out $$$ like clowns at parade! I know first hand $$$ was given to the State of RI for a clean up of a dump back in the 80’s and that money never was assigned to cleaning up that dump! It is still 40+ years later not cleaned! Such a waste of billions!

The Constitution does not allow the government to make rules only laws which are legislated in Washington and signed by the president not by three letter agencies

When the EPA made a mud puddle that showed up on a farmers land every 2 or 3 years in the middle of his field a "wet land", its time to abolish the EPA. Giving them power leads to abuse.

Raskin, since when do we have weather records going back 100,000 years? How is this guy in charge of anything?

Where's the EPA for #MauiFire #LahaniaFire?? What about #EastPalestine Ohio??

....... HELLOW .. the Border is Wide Open ........ DUH..!!!..

If the EPA is so concerned about poison in the water supplies etc etc., Why then don’t they stop the spraying of Chemtrails in the skies?

I think I lost brain cells listening to everyone here speak

We don't need an EPA to hold polluters accountable. It was illegal to dump trash and chemicals before the EPA. We already have a system for civil suits when corporations pollute and cause health issues. We don't need an organization, working from a building built with marble imported from Italy to tell us how to conduct business. The EPA should have its headquarters in Alaska, so they can protect the environment.

This year was the hottest year on record for more than 100,000 years. How could you POSSIBLY know that? Your initial statement throws your entire argument into doubt.

These people should be prosecuted for any false accusations they make in these meetings. I think that would change how politics work

When the guy who thinks that aborting babies is considered healthcare talks about how environmental regulations will improve the health of our environment, you kind of have to be skeptical of him and his true intentions.

Get rid of ratskin and the epa

Drill baby drill😊😊

Yes, this DEI clown is responsible for a budget of $10.994 billion and 17,145 employees. What a disaster our Federal Government has become.

Electric cars have serious limitations and dangers. If we don't want to drive one we don't have to. That's the free market system.

I'm 72 & the weather was the same years ago

The EPA has never given authority to regulate a non toxic gas

One question. Where were you when the train wrecked in OHIO?

A lot of People are POOR & have to drive cheap clunkers yo get to work…Is the Government going to give everyone a new EV & pay for the cost to insure & pay the energy cost, I don’t think so ! Just update power grid would be a good start…

Who was recording the heat index temperatures one thousand years ago?

My question to the Secretary: What framework has been created to systematically review every EPA regulation for compliance with the new Supreme Court ruling eliminating the Chevron doctrine?

Everyone wants clean air and water but we do not want the EPA creating its own rules and regulations outside of Congressionally passed law. We also don't want AGCC and CO2 being confused with pollution, neither is the case.

Clean up our forests & there wouldn’t be so many fires !

EPA employees need jobs too. They will do what they can to protect their taxpayer funded government jobs.

Record heat huh?! July 20, 1930 it was 106° in Washington DC. Today it was only 98°. Raskin needs to report facts and not fear monger nonsense

Well stop fuckin w the weather then!

Still can't get a account on where OUR $ is going in Ukraine.

This guy has no business being in his position. His firing is in the future.

Little Jamie Ratskin just can’t stop lying ! Don’t worry after the tribunals Jamie won’t be saying anything.

This priviledged arrogant activists isn’t used to being called out. EPA money going to all these organizations.

Epa, what a joke. They've caused more environmental hazards than they've prevented. 😂😂😂

It’s nice that they have these inquiries…but WTF happens to those who fail at their jobs…? Do they get fired? Or… do they just go back to doing the same shit.

Bad stewards. Show me the money. This is how they pay for their pensions!

Oh my gosh, what lies the EPA says! Defund and fire the EPA! Yes there are people who want to push little old ladies in wheelchairs off the mountain!🙄

Raskins is a drama queen always always hyperbole.....lol

As he should…the EPA has done more damage than good.

Notice how he showed a photo from 1950 then the after in 2000’s

He had to prefix the effect upon citizens because we citizens know regardless of policy, it will never effect politicians, their A/C, medical, income or anything else, regarding themselves!

Who cares what he's saying blah blah blah just keep reading.

Environmental justice is a grift.

🤔 umm .. why is there so many chemicals in food. Oh.. the government really cares. We they allow it and its banned in other countries. Ok... Ya you care.

Jamie raskin just declared there were climate records 100,000 years ago in his opening speech

Im so GLAD THE SENATE HAS MORE CONTROL OVER THESE AGENCIES SPENDING ALL THIS MONEY!! RIDICULOUS!!

Solar panels don't stop bullets yeat....😮 !

Mr. Ratskin I live on a limited budget, making it difficult for me to afford an electric vehicle or travel as I did when President Trump was in office. I understand that my circumstances might be different from yours, but I hope you can consider the challenges faced by individuals in my position.

The hottest summer huh? The last 2 years here in LA have been the coolest in 10 years! Stfu

This is akin to a household that cannot make ends meet, is in̈ debt up to their ears, but decides to take out a credit card under their kids social security number to take a lavish vacation.

To fight fossil fuel is to defy the SUN. LOL

States have their own EPA. Why does the Federal government think that it has to do everything the States do. There is no reason for the Federal government to second guess States EPA or Education. Abolish the Federal EPA.

That guy is such a liar🙄. Temperatures have not been tracked for a hundred thousand years

If they think the environment and so called “climate change” is our main issue of concern today, THEY NEED TO REVIEW ALL THE INFO ABOUT IMMIGRATION AND THE ECONOMY

"last year was he hottest year on record in more than 100,000 years" (Global temperature records start around 1880 because observations did not sufficiently cover enough of the planet prior to that time) hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the math aint mathing ........

The logical thing to do for big oil and vehicle manufacturers. Is to keep evolving with the times and technologies available.

There have not been records for 100,000 years. What an insane claim.

Those 2 are some of the weakest rebels the World has ever seem

Thank God the chevron act was overturned. Welfare to work as the experts is dumber than chickens! The private sector is where the talent is!

These hearings are so stupid. Nothing ever gets resolved and nothing ever comes of it. Just a bunch of grandstanding.

Americans will literally put up with anything. Incredible, Yanks

He's showing pictures of a forest fire being put out and then a picture of a river.

That’s Ohio who is not policing their own. Every state should be responsible for their own waterways

Trump even mentioned During the debate that he wants to ensure that we have things in place to protect and create more clean water and clean air.

The reason why Mfume doesn't care about profit margins is because he is a Socialist and doesn't understand economics. We can't have a modern way of life without pollution, but eliminating the pollution will cause a decrease in the money required to generate our current health standards. Look at it this way - if you live near a coal mine and you don't have any way to move, then you can either develop the coal which causes pollution or you can live in poverty and die from not being able to go to the doctor. Everything - including regulation, has a cost. Why don't the Democrats ever look at the balance that must be achieved. Maybe the power should reside closest to those most affected rather than with ivory-tower, Washington bureaucrats.

I appreciate Forbes’ videos of congressional hearings, and I’m never surprised at the utterly common, mundane, and insignificant skill & competence of our Congress persons & their witnesses. They truly NEVER give us any reason for us to view them as celebrities or as anyone we should look up to.

I I thought they were going to turn it down rhetoric, but they’re going after the right nonstop. Still doing it now doing it with the EPA.

Are these guys ok with fish and birds dying because of the windmills too close to the waters?????

Gee, Jaimie, I wasn’t aware we’d been recording temperatures for 100,000 years!

Stained glass company once on the west coast had to move to Mexico to compete with EPA laws in the USA think Mexico has the same laws no so you people aren’t fixing anything. Help Americans companies meet new laws 1 so you don’t push them out 2 so American jobs don’t go out of the country 3 so we make clean products and help our planet. Pushing companies out of business or the country isn’t the answer!!

Would Nigeria, Russia, Venezuela, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Libya, Iran, or Syria be as careful with oil piping as the U.S. & Canada were with the Keystone Pipe? Certainly not.

We have to do something about these DEI hires this man is clearly not qualified

Yes ,bu its not the EPAs job to make the laws that is the job of the congress. The EPA has already lost the trust of the people.

He kept saying these groups had not received any monies but refused to say these groups would not receive any monies in the future!

I hope our EPA will never be under attack again by the government.

.... the last few years have been historically mild. Wtf is raskin even talking about?

Who can afford EV or charging the batteries? Erraticate EPA.

That is a lie. About 1 billion donation. To start its illegal to donate that much.

Speaking of cleveland...the hottest summer was in 1988...36 years ago.

That was a grilling but that woman will never get an ounce of cooperation from the gent from the EPA. Whilst she may feel warm and fuzzy from treating this guy but she can expect zero cooperation from him in the future!

I think EPA Administrator, Michael Regan seems to be sincere and is being treated respectfully by both parties, well the reps that are there for more than to give a 5 minute slam, bam n run right back out the door. And if you asked AOC (D) or the bald graph guy (R) they probably couldn't answer a quiz on what they just said..... Unfortunately, both parties vote the way their lobbyist's money/funding tell them to. He shut down the old grandma in yellow(R), she didn't know what to say when he gave her a valid answer to her expected "gotcha" question. Then he did it again and offered to meet n discuss... Then the next 5 minute rep, in red cold water creek, Manhattan project (D), she stumbled through the speech she was handed to read. I've seen her before, she is another slated to be a rising star. Who comes in does their 5 minute prepared "speech" and then right back out the door.... Overall, mostly just an endless parade of a Demoncrat then a Republican both just slinging bullsheeet!!! At least about 10 % of the speakers actually had a serious reason, questions, purpose to be there... However like most of these "hearings" reps from both parties, Redumblicans n Dummycrats are 5 minute warriors reading something handed to them just before they walk in to do their puppet show.... I never really can understand why a normal someone, non politician becomes a die hard, lifetime party loyalist??? The type of people that have never met someone from the other party that they didn't hate nor someone from their team/party that they would even criticize! Well if it is between two crookiticians from the same party.

The man from La. Is once again making a great point. We must have energy and if we dont have affordable energy we dont have anything.

We all need to come together and take care of mother nature. It's that simple.

It’s costing $15 million to approve a shipment of chemicals to a company that I’ll probably spending $300,000 maximum on any mass of water and a small ass $10,000 on a small order. It’s costing $15 million the process each application that’s how incompetent they are.

Unelected agencies shouldn't be carrying the weight of your job.perhaps?

Back in the day EPA regs were voted on . Clean Air Act 1990 for example

Democrat politician: “It’s not the heat, it’s the stupidity.” Same politician, 5 seconds later: “Hottest year, on record, in more than 100,000 years.” Did this guy even read his remarks before giving them?

Dont increase our slavery.

On record in over 100 thousand years really That seems like bullcrap

This is the first time I was rooting for the cancer. This guy is a discrase to America.

Absolutely correct, congressman Higgins.

Stop Cop City!

He doesn't know anything about historical record. Raskjn was challenged by a senator. Due to his ignorance of what he speaks, it appears he is a liar what a waste of air.

I can't stand to listen to Raskin.

This person from D.C.has been in office to long they wont be feeling the impact of all the supposed improvements in a financial way . Put them in our shoes, tax payers with limited annual income . Investments they are not going to feel the impact.

Twilight zone. Youd have to be alive today to believe it.

Do the people spouting that temperatures have never been higher realize that we have only been tracking/recording our weather and temperatures for less than the last 130-140 years ???

Elected officials decide, not unelected agencies. Constitutional rights.

Raskin doesnt know what he is talking about. 100,000 years?

Decommission the EPA now...

Maybe they should stop with weather manipulation. ???

You mean you assuming Trump is going to do EXACTLY what y'all been doing for 4 years? Gtfoh
