PETE: DEMOCRATS ARE REIGNITING
PUSH FOR GREEN NEW DEAL.
BRIAN: AOC AND ED MARKEY ARE
BRINGING FORTH THE MEASURE THE
ORIGINAL AUTHORS.
AINSLEY: IT’S GOING TO BE
EXPENSIVE.
AINSLEY: THE PRESIDENT PREPARES
FOR THE BIG VIRTUAL CLIMATE
SUMMIT.
GRIFF?
GRIFF: TOMORROW IS EARTH DAY
PERHAPS IT’S ONLY FITTING THAT
PRESIDENT BIDEN IS LAUNCHING
SUMMIT HOSTING 40 NATIONS
INCLUDING CHINA FOR TALKS AS HE
UNVEILS HIS GOAL OF CUTTING
EMISSIONS BY 50% BY THE YEAR
2030.
IT COMES AFTER PROGRESSIVES AS
YOU MENTIONED LED BY
REPRESENTATIVES ALEXANDRIA
OCASIO-CORTEZ AND SENATOR ED
MARK KAY RELAUNCHING THE GREEN
NEW DEAL.
>> WHAT WE’RE GONNA DO IS WE ARE
GOING TO TRANSITION TO
100 PERCENT CARBON-FREE ECONOMY
THAT IS MORE UNIONIZED, MORE
JUST, MORE DIGNIFIED AND
GUARANTEES MORE HEALTHCARE AND
HOUSING THAN ANY THAN WE EVER
HAVE BEFORE.
>> AS PART OF THE DEAL
OCASIO-CORTEZ WANTS TO QUADRUPLE
PRESIDENT BIDEN’S PROPOSED
INVESTMENT CALLING FOR
172 BILLION TO CUT CARBON
EMISSIONS MEANWHILE REPUBLICANS
ARE OUTRIGHT SLAMMING IT.
>> THIS IS NOT A GOOD FOR THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE THIS.
IS ABOUT THE FAR LEFT TRYING TO
CHANGE AND RESHAPE OUR ECONOMY
AND OUR COUNTRY IN THEIR
SOCIALIST VISION.
>> PUSH TO THE LEFT COMES AFTER
SECRETARY OF STATE BLINKEN
ACKNOWLEDGED AN ADMINISTRATION
LIKE TRANSITION TO A GREEN
ECONOMY WILL INDEED HURT SOME
AMERICANS.
>> FOR ALL THE OPPORTUNITIES
OFFERED BY THE UNAVOIDABLE SHIFT
TO CLEAN ENERGY NOT EVERY
AMERICAN WORKER WILL WIN OUT IN
THE NEAR TERM.
SOME LIVELIHOODS IN COMMUNITIES
THAT RELIED ON OLD INDUSTRIES
WILL BE BE HIT HARD.
GRIFF: BUT THE GREEN NEW DEAL IS
NOT A DONE DEAL YET.
OF COURSE, SENATOR JOE MARCH’,
WHO WE HAVE SEEN NOT AFRAID TO
ARE PROGRESSIVES.
WE HAVE TO FIND OUT.
HE TALKED TO REPORTERS YESTERDAY
CALLING THE GREEN NEW DEAL
ASPIRATIONAL, NOT PRACTICAL.
SO WE WILL SEE WHERE THAT GOES.
PETE, AINSLEY, BRIAN?
BRIAN: YEAH, GRIFF, THEY DON’T
LIKE EACH OTHER.
APPRECIATE IT BUT WE LIKE YOU.
BUT WE HAVE TO PUSH YOU AWAY
NOW.
YOU HAVE TO GET BUSY.
YOU CAN HAVE BREAKFAST.
AINSLEY: THERE HE GOES.
BRIAN: VERSION OF THE GREEN NEW
DEAL FOCUSES ON HOUSING.
WE WANT TO REPEAL LIMITATION
CONSTRUCTION GRANT PROGRAMS TO
MODERNIZE PUBLIC HOUSING.
GRANT PROGRAMS IMPROVEMENTS TO
REDUCE CARBON EMISSIONS.
PROTECTION VOUCHERS FOR
DISPLACED RESIDENTS AND
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM FOR
RESIDENT ALONG WITH GETTING RID
OF THE COMBUSTION ENJINGET.
PETE: I DON’T SEE A LOT OF --
WHAT THEY DO IS THEY DO A TON OF
TRANSFORMATION UNDER THE GUISE
OF IT’S ALL GREEN.
AND, OF COURSE, WITH CLIMATE
CHANGE IS THE RELIGION OF THE
LEFT, THIS BILL IS THEIR
CATECHISM AND THEY BELIEVE THEY
CAN CHANGE HUMAN BEHAVIOR
BECAUSE THE WORLD IS GOING TO
END IN 10 YEARS IF WE DON’T.
BRIAN: WHO IS GOING TO TELL THE
COWS?
AINSLEY: THE PROBLEM IS IT’S
GOING TO COST A LOT OF JOBS.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT
PRACTICALLY, WE TALKED ABOUT THE
WITH THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE THE
ALTERNATIVES ARE NOT THERE YET.
IT’S GOING TO COST YOU
$93 TRILLION, THIS IS YOUR
MONEY, TED CRUZ SAYS $600,000
FOR EVERY SINGLE HOUSEHOLD.
HE SAID IF YOUR LAST NAME IS NOT
ZUCKERBERG OR GATES, DO YOU
THINK YOU WOULD BE WILLING TO DO
THAT HE SAID I PROBABLY CAN’T
FIND 10 FAMILIES WILLING TO DO
IT.
SENATOR RAND PAUL WEIGHED IN AS
WELL.
LISTEN.
>>THEY DEFINITELY THINKMONEY GRO
OF THE GREEN PLAN.
IF YOU ADD ALL OF IT UP FROM THE
INFRASTRUCTURE BILL IT’S
ACTUALLY ABOUT 500 BILLION;
17 BILLION FOR WEATHER RISING
HOUSES WHEN WHICH ACTUALLY NEVER
GETS TO ENERGY EFFICIENCY TO
MEET THE COST.
THERE IS ABOUT 100 WITH FOR
ELECTRIC CARS.
THERE IS 10 BILLION FOR SOME
KIND OF ARMY OF CLIMATE CHANGE
PEOPLE, SOME KIND OF CLIMATE
CORPS YOUTH SORT OF GOVERNMENT
INFORMED YOUTHS OUT THERE
MARCHING FOR THINGS THAT THE
GOVERNMENT TELLS THEM TO DO.
I THINK ALL OF IT IS HORRENDOUS.
THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE
FINANCIAL DRAIN ON THE COUNTRY
AND FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY BY
SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY WE DON’T
HAVE.
BRIAN: I CAN’T BELIEVE WE ARE
HAVING THIS CONVERSATION.
WE ARE ENERGY INDEPENDENT FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN OUR HISTORY.
ADDITIONAL SECURITY AND THE
ECONOMY THAT MAKES EVERYONE
ENVIOUS AND THEY SEEM DETERMINED
TO DESTROY IT.
AND NOBODY SEEMS THAT ALARMED.
PETE: THEY SHALL THEY ARE
MARXIST.
THIS IS COLLECTIVISM.
YOU HAVE SAID WHO GOING TO TELL
THE COWS?
WHO IS GOING TO TELL CHINA?
CHINA IS NOT ABIDING BY ALL THIS
NONSENSE THAT WE’RE DOING.
THEY ARE DRIVING TOWARD A FUTURE
THAT THEY WANT TO DOMINATE.
BRIAN: THEY ARE BUILDING COAL
PLANTS FASTER THAN ANY OTHER
COUNTRY ON THE PLANET.
AINSLEY: THE PRESIDENT IS
MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT OF
CHINA WILL BE IN THE SUMMIT.
