CHARLES: THIS MIGHT SHOCK BUT IT
IS A NO-GO ON THE GREEN NEW
DEAL.
SENATE REPUBLICANS VOTED
UNANIMOUSLY AGAINST THE PLAN.
WHILE MOST DEMOCRATS SIMPLY
VOTED PRESENT TO PROTEST
MITCH McCONNELL'S ATTEMPT TO
GET THE DEMS ON THE RECORD,
REGARDING THIS CONTROVERSIAL
RESOLUTION.
THIS AS THE WOMAN BEHIND THE
PLAN, CONGRESSWOMAN ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ, FLIPS OUT AFTER
REPUBLICANS CALLED THE PLAN
ELITIST.
>> THE GREEN NEW DEAL IS ONE
THAT IF YOU'RE A RICH LIBERAL
FROM MAYBE NEW YORK OR
CALIFORNIA, IT SOUNDS GREAT
BECAUSE YOU BE CAN AFFORD TO
RETROFIT YOUR HOME OR BUILD A
NEW HOME THAT HAS A ZERO
EMISSIONS, THIS ENERGY
EFFICIENT, AFFORDABLE AND SAFE.
>> YOU WANT TO TELL PEOPLE THAT
THEIR CONCERN AND THEIR DESIRE
FOR CLEAN AIR AND CLEAN WATER IS
ELITIST?
TELL THAT TO THE KIDS IN THE
SOUTH BRONX WHICH ARE SUFFERING
FROM THE HIGHEST RATES OF
CHILDHOOD ASTHMA IN THE COUNTRY.
CHARLES: WE BROUGHT THEM BACK.
REPUBLICAN STRATEGIST, FORD
O'CONNELL, AND DEMOCRATIC
STRATEGIST DANIELLE MCGLOCKLIN.
FORD, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
>> IF THE APOCALYPSE WAS UPON
US, WORLD ENDS IN 12 YEARS,
SENATE DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE
VOTED FOR THIS INSTEAD OF SENATE
DEMOCRATS TO JOIN REPUBLICANS
VOTED FOR IT.
THIS IS LUXURY ISSUE.
WE ALL CARE ABOUT THE
ENVIRONMENT, IF YOU DON'T HAVE A
JOB, YOU CAN'T EAT, FRANKLY NOT
AT TOP OF YOUR SCALE.
WE HAVE FAR MORE PRESSING
PROBLEMS IN AMERICA, WHEN IT
COMES TO THE U.S. CO2 EMISSIONS
REDUCTION.
WE'VE REDUCED 16% SINCE 2000.
MOST IN THE DOES REALIZED WORLD.
WE'RE DOING MORE THAN ANYONE
ELSE WHEN YOU THROW IN CHINA,
INDIA, RUSSIA.
CHARLES: DANIELLE.
>> THIS IS ABOUT POVERTY.
TALKED ABOUT KIDS IN THE BRONX.
CHILDREN IN FLINT DON'T HAVE
CLEAN WATER.
CHARLES: CLIMATE CHANGE BILL,
HOW DOES THAT CHANGE THAT FOR
THEM?
>> WHAT THIS BILL DOES, A LITTLE
BIT KITCHEN SINK ADMITTEDLY,
MAKING SURE WE HAVE
INFRASTRUCTURE, CLEAN JOBS.
DON'T HAVE COAL GOING INTO
RIVERS PLACES LIKE KENTUCKY.
PEOPLE LIVING, WORKING IN THE
PLACES CAN LIVE HEALTHY AND LIVE
AND BREATHE AND DRINK THE WATER.
THAT DOES MATTER.
>> WE AGREE WHERE POLLUTION
HOURS THE ENVIRONMENT.
HERE IS WHERE REPUBLICANS HAVE
THE PROBLEM.
WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE SELLING
FOR THE GREEN NEW DEAL IS PIXIE
DUST.
TALKING ABOUT THE BIGGEST
RESTRUCTURING OF THE AMERICAN
ECONOMY IN HISTORY OF COUNTRY.
ESSENTIALLY IF WE DO EVERYTHING
DEMOCRATS SUGGEST, DON'T GO
FULLY BANKRUPT IN THE PROCESS
GUESS WHAT, IT WILL NOT CHANGE
THE WORLDWIDE ENVIRONMENT T WILL
KNEECAP US.
>> DEMOCRATS HAVE IDEA.
WHAT ARE REPUBLICANS DOING,
TALKING ABOUT THE MARKET.
>> THE MARKET IS DRIVING DOWN
CARBON EMISSIONS IN THIS
COUNTRY.
>> THAT IS NOT EXACTLY TRUE.
WE HAVE TARIFFS ON CHINA.
WE HAVE SOLAR PANELS.
CHARLES: THAT TRUE.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR CO2
EMISSIONS PERCENTAGE OF OUR GDP
GONE DOWN ALMOST 50% IN THE LAST
20 YEARS.
WE HAVE DONE GREAT THINGS WE
DON'T GET CREDIT FOR.
HERE IS THE MY PROBLEM WITH AOC,
ANSWER ME THIS.
I WAS BORN IN HARLEM.
HE HAVE RELATIVES IN THE SOUTH
BRONX.
I SPEND MORE TIME IN THE SOUTH
BRONX THAN SHE DOES.
THIS HAS BEEN ISSUE FOR A LONG
TIME.
THEY STUDIED IT.
ONE OF THE PROBLEMS BECAUSE
THESE ARE POOR FOLKS.
THEY HAVE DUST LOADED FURNITURE
AND CARPETS.
DON'T HAVE PROPER CLEANING
EQUIPMENT.
CAN'T VISIT DOCTORS.
COCKROACH AND MOUSE ALLERGENS
ARE THE MOST COMMON PROBLEM.
ANOTHER REPORT SAYS THESE
HOUSEHOLDS HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
MORE PEOPLE SMOKING IN THEM THAN
OTHERS.
HOW IS THAT SOMETHING THAT ALL
TAXPAYERS SHOULD PAY FOR?
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU KNOW,
WHENEVER DEMOCRATS HAVE AN
ISSUE, THEN THEY BRING RACE INTO
IT, EITHER DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY, YOU KNOW, IT BOTHERS
ME BECAUSE WE SHOULD BE DEALING
WITH THIS, BUT THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH HER PLAN?
>> I DON'T AGREE WITH YOU,
CHARLES.
ONE OF THE THINGS WITH THE GREEN
NEW DEAL, WE WOULD HAVE
15-DOLLAR MINIMUM WAGE.
CHARLES: PEOPLE ARE NOT MOVING
OUT OF THESE PLACES WITH
15-DOLLAR MINIMUM WAGE.
I PRAY ONE DAY DEMOCRATS KEEP
TALKING TO BLACK PEOPLE, HIGHEST
YOU CAN ASPIRE IS $15 A HOUR.
WHEN YOU DEMOCRATS SAY YOU CAN
