tonight with this really weird moment that happened last week at a house hearing. transportation secretary pete buttigieg was testifying before a house committee and as you woulde expect, for several hou, theyfo discussed infrastructure roads, railway, electric vehicles, energy prices, all of the usual stuff until one republican congressman on the committee suddenly took the transportation hearing off the rails. and that joke was for you, transport nerd, you re welcome. have a watch. now have president biden in office for 18 months and just recentlyfi we see the mainstrea media questioning president biden s mental state and for good reason. sadly he shakes hands with ghosts and imaginary people and falls offeo bicycles and even a the white house easter celebration, easter bunny had to guide him back intonn his safe place. end of speech, where he actually states, that is, if he sta stays awake. so my question for you, is, sir, have you spoken with any other cabinet member ab
analyses that say that is true, energy investigation says we can get 40% below those pollution numbers than will put us on a path to meeting president biden s goal of cutting pollution in half in this decade and that s what we need to tackle the climate crisis. lea stokes, professor of science and environmental science at the university of california santa barbara, thank you very much for your time tonight and thank for giving us that good news. thank you. we have one more story to get to tonight. just when you thought certain republican members of congress couldn t go lower, they find a way to surprise you. that story is next. stay with us. stay with us
just didn t know you were going to be able to do something about the climate. while we have forest fires burning right at the foot of yosemite. i think it s a good thing we got that agreement done. they re welcome to vote against. it i would hope they would be for doing something on climate but i don t think that can be used as a reason not to support guy marriage and it enshrines law that so clearly, so many people depend on, and have come to expect in terms of the rights of this country. i guess we ll find out very soon just how cynical some of your ren cans colleagues. are senator amy klobuchar, democrat from minnesota, appreciate your time tonight. great to be on thank you. senate democrats are hoping the inflation reduction act will pass and what the bill could mean for the environment and climate change. that s next, stay with us. ironmd climate change that s next, stay with us. your projects done right
