through wildfires, mapping the severity of drugs, epa tracking down methane leaks or understanding the flow of harmful algae blooms and whose water resources are at risk next, helping to make solar project planning easier, generation more efficient and affordable to consumers. so both from the federal government and commercial industries we have more data than ever before about the climate crisis and it will not only allow us to more fully understand the depth and breadth of the challenges that we are facing but also the effectiveness of the actions that we are taking and the consequences of inaction only with the wealth of data can we truly find the path forward that will protect the future for our children and grandchildren and generations to come. i think the challenge before the agency's along with others on the president's national claimant task force is to make sure that the data that we gather is put to use to inform the strategies and design the tools that empower the states and local communities and to your point especially the most disadvantaged and vulnerable communities who

your response to the epa administrator on the new standards saying this: even there, there is an acknowledgement these are robust and rigorous standards. acknowledging that in the first place, this is a lofty goal. >> well, it will hurt them and turns off a lot of americans. saying we won't vote for this party. climate change is a real problem. but if you charge people money for it, they will switch off. they will say i don't want to do this. what the administration is asking, this will solve global warming. no, it's not. it's a tiny bit. and the rest of the world is rapidly embracing suvs. most people want more powerful cars. you won't combat that by saying we have a rule making it harder to get one of those cars. you need to find a way to get all of the things you want but with less carbon emissions. the first way is focus on power. switch from coal to gas. secondly focus on innovation so we make it possible for us to buy electric cars that are not hugely expensive and are something we want. the current rules they just announced are not that. they are forcing you to do. we needinovations that

your facility that produces, transmits, processes or touches natural gas is subject to a tax by the epa. how will this harm members of the tribe? >> i'm not sure exactly, because we have so many other things that we work on, not just oil and gas. and what of it -- it is a great question. i'm not an expert on these technologies, but -- the government should not pass our resources. >> i agree. back to the general discussion of natural gas, the facts are that the fracking industry and the technology associated with that, it is almost 100% responsible for our reduction in emissions in this country back to 1982 levels. there is no disputing that. if you were to replace coal pyre -- power plants across the world with natural gas, he would have more reduction in emissions than any other solution we're talking about. i will just apologize for that. but what you are saying is deeply untrue and misleading. frankly, probably damaging to our mutual goals of reducing emissions in this country and around the world. that is the truth. the facts back this up. the facts back up that these technologies,

market and the economy this past year i guess what i might have missed is the impact that would have epa won't be repeated next year. with a reversion to the means that's very difficult for the stock market in aggregate because when you do the arithmetic the earnings growth is no match point for point for what the multiple is going to do and the fed is tightening policy into a flat yield curve and so stimulus then next year is difficult and then brings you to i would say a flat to negative year next year that's not a consensus but that's where the numbers pan out. >> david, what about something that doesn't have a multiple at all? what about commodities, the cyclical and the protection commodities like gold? >> look. gold is going to have a pretty rough time in the sense that if the fed carries through on raising rates that is not good for the gold price which is inversely correlated to interest rates. look if the fed is the only game in down and raising rates more than the boe, certainly the ecb and bank of japan doesn't do anything that leads to dollar strength and not good for gold an

in addition to our membership activities, we also administer our state's brand programs, as well as epa section 319 grant which gives us a unique perspective on how circumstances including drought impacts natural resources as well as the local economies of rural america. this year, as has been described, has been filled with challenges. and certainly historic drought has been on top of the list for north dakotaens and our neighbors in the west. the yellows, oranges, reds, and browns of the drought monitor map tell the story well. nearly the entire west designated in some level of disaster. and north dakota is no exception. currently, 99.8% of our state has some drought designation, and we have set records we never wanted. among those, the earliest onset of d-4 conditions and the highest drought severity and coverage index in our history. water, of course, is central to our management, and without it, everything changes. pastures go dry, decreasing availableforage available to graze or to be bailed and fed later, and some are rendered entirely unusable because if there's no water for the

broke out and failed aggressively epa not able to set itself up again. small caps underperforming in line with the quality trade we talk about low quality tends to be concentrated in the small cap names. seeing a deterioration in beta improvement in profitability so all those things, the factors have shifted more towards a defensive tone the level for s&p is 50-day batted around for a few weeks and big fans of the previous low around 4280 on the s&p 500 that would represent a 65-day high eclipsing that that deteriorates the trend work the good news is the trend in the market is positive you don't usually change oceanliners with a quick jerk of the steering wheel and takes time to transition and concerned about the changing liquidity environment and something that people aren't expecting or maybe not positioned for is a better way to think about that and clearly seeing it in the concept finance names and probably more of that to come in 2022. >> mike, you look at the technicals have been looking at moving averages does that jibe with the analysis that the

i will ask the epa and others to take a look at that, but the fact is that we all know everything is more intense when the climate is warming, everything, and it has some impact here, but i cannot give you a quantitative read. >> do you have plans to visit any of the affected areas this week? pres. biden: i do. i started off this morning with the governor of kentucky and offered -- i said i would be happy to come, but i don't want to be in the way. when the president shows up, he shows up with an awful lot of personnel, an awful lot of vehicles. we can get in the way unintentionally, and so what i am working with the governor of kentucky and others who may want me to be there, i will want to make sure we are value added at the time and not get in the way, but i do plan on going. >> have you asked congress to approve any other disaster relief money? pres. biden: we will see. whatever is needed, i am going to ask for. this is the united states of america. our citizens are badly hurt and scared to death right now in terms of those people that they cannot figure out where they are. where
