118th congress. one wonders how long he will swing around now that the vote is done, mccarthy has the votes, he s good to go on that front. what s entering is that george santos, one of the reasons he even ended up in congress, he played the base like a fiddle to some extent. take a listen to what he said back in 2021 about being at the january 6th rally. something i mention often, i was at the ellipse on january 6th. that was the most amazing crowd. it was. and the president was at his full awesomeness that day. it was a front row spectacle for me. first of all, we don t even know if that is true, but the real point here is that he s giving the republican base what they want, and they were like, okay, great, go to congress, you re in. exactly. i think a lot of the it seems some voters care less about
agencies to make these huge decisions that impact our livelihood and our ability to well, in west virginia s context, for them to make a living is, to do what s best for their state. this flies in the face of all of the arguments of people saying that the federal government has the answer to all their problems. you guys know how i feel about it, but that should be champion then celebrated because it puts authority back where it should be, and the hands of the people. if congress wants to do something about it, feel free. if it is such a monumental, foundational issue, i cannot wait to see your legislation. for all of his emphasis on the paris accord, i cannot wait to see the pressure hanging out places on china or india which have set such low hundreds for themselves in reducing emissions for about a quarter. they are missing the point. dr. saphier: enough with the hysteria and histrionics coming out.
justice just threatened life on earth as we know it. this is not just a blow to the biden administration, but it has the impact of people s lives for generations to come. i don t think it is right. it is a loss for america. it is a loss for the world. the harmful impact of this ruling is crystal clear. it makes it even more difficult to address the pollution in the climate crises at a time when we need to be doing all we can. it is devastating. yet another example of the court s unwillingness to protect the health and safety of the american people. kayleigh: you i can t wrap my head around it, joe. if you want to affect policy change, go to congress. that is not the opinion of the supreme court, be it with dobbs. be it with this. you cannot just make up rules. joe: over the weekend, someone set on television that the 2016 election was the most consequential of our lifetime.
here we are talking about independence day, july 4th. what could be more patriotic than the originalist theory of supporting the original constitution? maybe they disagree with certain things, but the fact that we are getting more freedoms to the states, more freedoms to congress, more choice, that is exactly what this country was founded on. so there is nothing more patriotic actually then what has happened with the supreme court. the fact that the president is bashing it in europe, it is disgusting. kat: some of the solutions he s presenting presenting, okay, and the filibuster, protect abortion rights, as if he does not realize that the republicans could use that exact same thing to ban abortion. there is a focus on okay, our side is in power. we are going to do all of those things. they don t realize that when the other side is in power again, those powers are still going to be there. america must be this country we
this is not even about climate change. this is about checking the power of the executive branch. how about putting the power back to the american people? elected officials who represent the american people. instead of some organization making unilateral decisions that can upend entire communities by their decisions, they can do away with jobs and businesses in whole communities. we need to make sure that what is happening goes through congress. that it protects what the americans want and cannot make unilateral decisions. this is not actually about climate change, so if everyone can take the hysterics down, you might understand that. you think a legal analysis joe: analyst? dr. saphier: we are all having it today. [laughs] kat: how insulting, the way they talk about it. pollution is bad. clean air is good. i think we all can agree on not, but as everyone has said, that is not the point.
