Trump's War On Clean Air And Water

DONALD TRUMP'S ASSAULT ON OUR ENVIRONMENT REVVED UP INTO
ALL NUCLEAR THIS WEEK WITH A NEW AND EXECUTIVE ORDER AND A
PREVIEW OF HIS UPCOMING BUDGET AND HOW THAT MIGHT AFFECT SOME
OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT DEAL WITH THE ENVIRONMENT THAT IN
ALL OF THIS IS AIMED AT REMOVING SOME ESSENTIAL ENVIRONMENT
PROTECTIONS CURRENTLY PROTECTING THE US PUBLIC FROM
POLLUTANTS IN THEIR WATER AS WELL AS OTHER CONTAMINANTS
THAT HAVE BOTH NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CONSEQUENCES.
PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNED DOCUMENTS ON TUESDAY DIRECTING THE
EPA AND THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS TO REVIEW THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION'S WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES RULED ON DOING SO
TRUMP SAYS HE IS PAVING THE WAY FOR THE ELIMINATION OF THE RULE.
THE WATERS OF THE UNITED STATES ROLE HAS ACCOMMODATED HISTORY.
WHY IS ACTUALLY NECESSARY, BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH WHAT
SORTS OF WATERWAYS AND NOT JUST ACTUAL RIVERS AND STREAMS
BUT WETLANDS AND THINGS LIKE THAT WILL BE PROTECTED I
OTHER REGULATIONS AND PROTECTIONS OF THE US
GOVERNMENT AND THE PA HAVE DIVE YOU ELIMINATE THIS, YOU ARE
ONE STEP CLOSER TO GETTING RID OF THE CLEAN WATER ACT AND
DOING FARMER UNDER VARIOUS WATERWAYS ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THE OMB PUT OUT THE STATEMENT.
BY LOOKING AHEAD AND FOCUSING ON CLEAN WATER, CLEAN AIR AND
OTHER CORE RESPONSIBILITIES RATHER THAN ACTIVITIES THAT
ARE NOT REQUIRED BY LAW, THE EPA WILL BE ABLE TO EFFECTIVELY
ACHIEVE ITS MISSION.
THAT IS BOTH A LIE AND HORRIFYING.
THE LIE IS THAT THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT CLEAN WATER OR
CLEAN-AIR WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE ALREADY ATTACKING THE EPA'S
ABILITY PROTECT THOSE VERY THINGS WITH THE SECOND PART IS
TRUE THAT THEY WANTED TO FOCUS ON THOSE THINGS PERHAPS BUT
NOT THE AREAS THAT THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED BY LAW WHICH THEY ARE
GOING TO ATTEMPT TO ARGUE MEANS REGULATING CARBON EMISSIONS
AND PROTECTING US FROM THE WORST EXCESSES OF GLOBAL, CHANGE.
I WILL TRY TO SIMPLIFIED WHAT IS DEFINITELY A VERY
COMPLETED ISSUE.
THE REASON IS, USE CERTAIN WATERWAYS THAT ARE CLEARLY
IMPORTANT AND NEEDED TO BE PROTECTED, LARGE RIVERS
ETC.
BUT THEN THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE LESS CLEAR.
WATER SOURCES THAT LEAD INTO THE RIVERS.
THEY SOMETIMES LEAD INTO THE RIVERS BETTER SOMETIMES DRY.
IS IT UPON, IS IT A LAKE, SHOULD BE PROTECTED?
BY THE WAY, NOT ALL OF THEM SHOULD BE PROTECTED.
IF YOU ARE AN ENVIRONMENTALIST YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING
REALLY, THAT SOUNDS CRAZY.
WHY?
BECAUSE YOU CAN'T DO OVERREGULATION DIVE A LOCAL
FIBER FARMER HAS GOT HIS COWS, THEIR OWN PASTURE THERE AND
THEY'RE GOING TO THE BATHROOM NEAR THE SMALL POND BY
THEIR HOUSE, YOU DON'T NEED REGULATEÖ WATER DOESN'T
LEAD ANYWHERE ELSE AND THAT IS OVERREGULATION IF YOU DO.
THERE ARE SOME REAL SMALL FARMERS THAT ARE
COMPLAINING ABOUT SOME OF OBAMA ADMINISTRATIONS RULES, BUT
THEY ARE NOT THE MAIN PEOPLE COMPLAINING.
THAT IS OF COURSE A FRONT THAT IS PUT OUT THERE.
THE MAIN PEOPLE WHO ARE UPSET ARE THE MASSIVE POLLUTERS
WHO WANT TO BE ABLE TO POLLUTE UPSTREAM.
THAT'S JUST THE WATER SUPPLY UP THERE.
YOU DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT PART OF THE MAIN
WATER SUPPLY IN THE MAIN RIVER.
BUT IT LEADS INTO THE MAIN RIVER SO IF YOU DO MASSIVE
POLLUTION UPSTREAM IT IS GOING TO GO AND ALL OF OUR WATER.
WELL, OVERREGULATION.
RIGHT?
YOU'RE REALLY GOING TO REGULATE.
WORLDS WHEN I PUT THESE POLLUTANTS.
IT WOULD COST ME A LOT OF MONEY TO MOVE THEM.
IF I JUST AM THEM HERE IN YOUR RIVER, YOU ARE GOING TO
REGULATE THAT?
YEAH.
YEAH THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO REGULATE IT TO MAKE SURE
YOU DON'T DO THAT.
IT IS A FINE LINE SOMETIMES.
DO YOU THINK TRUMP IS GOING TO DRAW THAT FINE LINE WITH
YOUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND?
BY THE WAY, YOU GET A PERFECT EXAMPLE.
THEY DO TALK ABOUT THOSE PONDS.
THEY DO TALK ABOUT THE COWS BUT THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE
REGULATION OF THE POND, IT'S WHAT IS BEING REGULATED
FROM GOING INTO IT.
YOU CAN STILL SAY THE POND NEEDS TO BE REGULATED JUST NOT
FROM PISS.
YOU CANíT POUR 1000
GALLONS OF BENZENE OR NAPALM, HOW ABOUT THAT.
OR NUCLEAR WASTE RUNOFF FROM A COAL MINE.
YOU CAN STILL PISS IN IT IF YOU WANT TO, YOU JUST CAN'T DO THOSE
THINGS, HOW ABOUT THAT?
THAT'S A COMPROMISE.
SO NOW THERE ARE A LOT OF SMART ARTICLES AND EXPERTS
TALKING ABOUT HOW SINCE THESE LAWS ARE SO, YOU HAVE TO
ADJUDICATE A LOT OF THESE BODIES OF WATER ONE AT A TIME.
IT'LL TAKE YEARS AND THEN YOU HAVE TO JUSTIFY AND GO THROUGH
THIS PROCESS SO IT'LL TAKE YEARS FOR SCOTT PRUITT WHO IS IN
FAVOR OF ALLOWING MORE POLLUTION AND WHAT HE WOULD CALL LESS
REGULATION SO THAT YOU CAN DUMP THOSE TOXINS INTO THE WATERWAYS.
IT'LL TAKE HIM YEARS TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS.
MY GUESS IS NO.
KNOCK OUT THE WHOLE THING ALL AT ONCE.
NO, THEY'RE GOING TO SAY I'M NOT GOING TO THAT PROCESS.
I NOW SAY YOU CAN DO IT.
AND PEOPLE WILL BE OUTRAGED FOR HALF A DAY AND THEN TRAMPLE
TWEET ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE AND THEY WILL GO SQUIRREL AND YOU
ARE GOING TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT BODIES OF WATER AND THE
KIND OF BENZENE YOU SHOULDN'T PUT IN NO, THEY'RE JUST
GOING TO STEAMROLL YOU.
I REMEMBER ALL THE PEOPLE SAYING A STANDING ROCK, THERE WAS
AN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT.
THAT TAKES INPUT USED TO DO AND BY LAW YOU MUST DO IT.
I SAID BY LAW YOU HAVE TO DO IT BECAUSE IT IS TRUE.
THEY CAME IN AND THEY SAID THIS LAW.
RIGHT.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT.
GO AHEAD AND DROVE RIGHT AWAY.
AND THEY JUST DID IT.
AND LIKELY THEY WILL DO THE SAME THING HERE.
