we hosted the epa, the epa director, andrew wheeler for a speech on the epa today. just yesterday, for the inaugural nixon national conference, we had the nci director, president biden's nci director. the library not only tells president nixon's story but serves as a very active forum today for policymaking. susan: you mentioned president nixon went to whittier college, a graduate of chapman university. the president serves on the foundation board. he has taught law there. what is the connection between chapman and the two institutions? pres. byron: great question. chapman has a certain number of benefits that we enjoy together in partnership. they are only about 10 miles away from the library. we worked with chapman to build a presidential libraries senate with historians that study not only richard nixon but 20th-century american politics. if we can use the vast nixon archives, there are 47 million pages of documents, over 300,000 photographs, 2 million feet of film. if we can open these documents to students at chapman university, we will be allowing the students

we think that that the funding especially that goes to epa is important. there are a nber of things that it can do. we think the most important thing is the funding that will go to states, indian tribes and communities that will do things like enable them to conduct community needs assessments to understand gaps in their programs so that they can fill that so that they can understand and adapt effective practices in the work that they're doing and also funding to states so that they can provide technical assistance to the communities. we think that by being able to leverage those resources, communities are going to be able to make lasting improvements in their recycling programs. the second thing that the government can do is to stay out of the supply chains for paper manufacturing, things like mpr -- things like epr which are well intentioned are in place in the us for things that are hard to recycle, mattresses, batteries, paint those sorts of things for products like paper and paper based packaging. the collection system is well established as well part

let me briefly reach out to president biden's nominee to serve at epa. i met with him earlier this summer and was very impressed. i believe he is an outstanding pick in leading epa and keep its programs consistent with the law. over 20 years of his distinguished career has been dedicated to public service across multiple departments in the executive branch. at his hearing he demonstrated the kind of poise, and forthright commitment to his mission that will make him an outstanding general counsel. i am proud to support his nomination and i urge our colleagues to record his nomination favorably to the senate. we will also be reporting a president biden's nominees for the chemical and hazard investigations board. let me say a couple of words about stephen, jennifer and sylvia. each individual brings a different set of skills and professional experiences that will benefit the work of the chemical and hazardous investigation board. stephen is a former administrator of chemical safety and pollution prevention. has dedicated a decade as an attorney and regulato

monday epa administrator michael regan announced a plan to raise average fuel emission standards for cars and light trucks to 40 miles per gallon by the year 2026 the standards are achievable affordable and will deliver significant pollution reduction. regan says the new fleet wide standards will help save money at the pump and protect the planet. and he says major automakers are jumping on board the past several months. nearly all major automakers have announced plans to transition their vehicle fleet to 0 emissions. the epa administrator says the transportation is the largest single source of greenhouse gases generated by the united states representing roughly 30%. >> of the nation's total emissions in seo boot. witherspoon says cleaner air is a personal concern, especially for her 11 year-old son with asthma. >> i've been the mother taking her first ride in an ambulance with him when his oxygen levels were so poor that the pediatrician would not allow me to drive himself. she believes the new standards will help in childhood respiratory diseases. today is a win for all asthmatic.

and i spoke with the epa administrator michael reagan yesterday who pointed to several communities in illinois, in michigan, in mississippi, and others where they've really struggled to come up with the resources to deal with problems with their water infrastructure that have been going on for decades now. and finally they're going to have an opportunity and some cash to really put to work on this. the epa administrator said he's also urging all of these states in the letter to try to focus this fund specifically on disadvantaged communities, minority as well as low income communities where they have a longer backlog of these infrastructure projects that have to get dealt with and really need the money to be put to work now. >> what do we know about how states and communities are going about applying for these funds? how is the government prioritizing which communities should get the money first? >> yeah. it's a key question here. because while some money in the infrastructure law is up to the federal government to doll out to specific projects through grants, the majority of it gets

i will be asking the epa and others to take a look at that, but the fact is, we all know, everything is more intense when the climate is warming, everything. and obviously it has some impact here, but i can't give you a quantitative read on that. >> mr. president, do you have plans to visit the affected areas? president biden: yes i do, i started off this morning with the governor of kentucky and i set i would be happy to come, but i don't want to be in the way. when a president shows up, he shows up with an awful lot of personnel, an awful lot of vehicles, we can get in the way unintentionally. so, when i'm working with the governor of kentucky and others who may want me to be there, as i make sure we are value added at the time, and we won't get in the way of the rescue recovery. but i do plan on going. >> is there any other -- any other disaster relief money? president biden: if we don't have the wherewithal, i will ask for it. this is the united states of america. our citizens are badly, badly hurt, and they are scared to death, in terms of the folks where they can't figure where

our quality map, these are not the official epa sensors, those are indicating moderate air quality. but the haze, the brown smudge looks worse than it was yesty, air sensors indicate it is, showing a lot of locations and unhealthy for sensitive groups and the official ratings are not bad enough to trigger a spare the air alert but their quality is far from ideal and not going to be great tomorrow. all the official readings will be back into the moderate category once again and not getting better until a major shift in the overall pattern. it might happen but monday and tuesday of next week but not rain, just a wind shift and maybe a different air mass moving in. let's look at current temperatures, a mixed of 60s and 70s. 74 degrees right now in downtown san jose. mid-70s for december 1st with the average high temperature is 60 degrees across the entire bay area. everybody above that today and well above it again tomorrow. tonight, low to mid-40s inland with temperatures near 50 degrees around the bay and along the coast, similar to conditions this morning, complete with the locally

the official sensors from the epa were registering moderate air quality across the board. the sensors from purple air were showing more orange dots on the map, indicating more unhealthy for sensitive groups. the official readings are likely to stay in the moderate category tomorrow, which means moderate across the board. but if you know someone sensitive to those issues, they'll likely have problems for the seven days, until we get until at least early next week, maybe even the end of next week. not much of a rain chance to wash that stuff out of the air either. a slight chance of a cup of passing showers monday and monday night. we'll hope that system can find a little bit more moisture, but looks live it's current path isn't likely to send any significant rain chance into the bay area. however, there are some hopeful signs. being december first, we get a new out look from the prediction center that is showing equal chances of normal or below normal rainfall. we'll hope that later this month we can get into a more active weather pattern, because it's not going to happen o

we have seen in the past, letters, strongly worded letters from the department of health and epa to the navy, but we haven't really seen the follow through and those regulators holding the navy accountable. so now's the time to not do that anymore. we really need to get this thing addressed right away, as soon as possible. and for the border water supply the immediate removal of the fuel out of red hill is the only real way to reduce this risk , this massive risk to our drinking water aquifer. the navy is experiencing it firsthand right now. and that's very unfortunate. i feel so terrible for their customers, having to endure this and drink the fuel compared -- contaminated water. i do not want that to be repeated with the general public -- the almost over 400,000 people that we serve water, and the city of honolulu itself. we cannot let that happen. so i need the regulators to hold the navy accountable. i need the navy to step forward and not fight us anymore. we've been fighting with them for eight years to do the right thing, to protect the water resource. we've always said to them,

epa data shows up in the 1930s there's the hottest heatwave in the united states so anyone claiming this northwest wave is evidence of climate change, we are below the 30 year average amateur on satellites so that makes no sense. there's many areas of cold. if you look at all these factors, there is no climate emergency and then of course i quote scientists who look at the geologic history, we've had co2 many times higher with ice ages, 90 percent of earth history has had sea levels, lower co2 levels, higher co2 levels than current and essentially the earth was too warm to support ice and we're in the 10 percent coldest period of the earth geologically speaking and the 10 percent lowest co2 of the earth geologically speaking so i spend time explaining that concept. co2 is not the driver. there are hundreds of factors that drive line and change and the fact that government can impose that we're going to regulate this or shut down this and also somehow get better weather which is what they claim. senator schumer is saying if we done more on we know these hurricanes would be less severe. th

new york city, where i'm at now is the epa center of the new variant in the u. s. just on friday, there were 44000 new cases, reported a record throughout the entire pandemic. certainly some staggering number. thank you for the update. gabriel alexander live press in new york. and the 1st on the con case is being detected in the besieged, gaza strip. the carrier is a palestinian residence who was infected within the coastal territory. health authorities say that means and you very will now be widespread among gods is population of 2200000 people. israeli soldiers have injured more than $214.00 palestinian protest is in the town of burka north of nablus. that's according to the palestinian red crisen pensions have been escalating in the area since and israeli settler was shorted by 2 palestinians. on december 16, harry faucet report from berker, another night of violence in what's become in recent days, the most frequent point of friction in the occupied west bank is ready. troops sealed off the village of berker villages through rocks and burnt tires. the military

epa data shows up currently the 1930s with the hottest heat waved in the united states. so anyone claiming that this northwest heat wave currently is evidence of climateno change, lk at the 30 year satellite data. that makes sense. if you look at all of those factors there is no climate emergency and, of course, i y ao quit scientists to look at the geologic history we fed many time hires the ice ages with-90% of births history has had side higher co2 levels, -- lower -- higher than current and essentially the earth was too warm to support ice and where in the 10% coldest period geological speaking also in the 10% lower co2 come geologically speaking. i spent some time explaining that concept. co2 is not the driver. there are 100 factors that drive climate change any idea co2 the governmentct can impose we will regulate his or her band thr shutdown -- semi will get better weather, which is what they claim, senator chuck schumer saying if we done that on climate we would've had, the circuit would be lessla severe. that's modern witchcraft. i mentioned inic the book and go

of an eerie feel here in new york city, whereas we all know that it for a time, this was the global epa center of the pandemic in march and april and may of 2000 year 2000. so what we're getting now is we're getting a sense that this is coming back and we're getting this 3rd wave of arm now of this new variant. and we actually now have the 4th consecutive day here in new york of record. new infections is 23000 was just announced a short time ago by the governor. she says she's not going to make mass closures here in the state. they don't want to do that. they don't want to panic people, but certainly you can sense the urgency that this really is this 3rd wave, if you will hear there for about 4000 people in hospitals here in new york, that's way below where it was during the original peak, but still much higher than it was for many, many months previously. and you're getting the sense here now that people are very worried, you go out to the streets of new york and you see long lines, sometimes even hundreds of people waiting to get tested. and we're seeing this elsewhere throughout the

s. epa center of the corona virus pandemic, particularly with the henri cron variant. the numbers have been reached, skyrocketing, and it's just been the last week or so they've been going up exponentially. right during this busy holiday travel time. the issue here now is testing. everyone says testing is key to figure out who has on record. and the line here are very long. i'll step out so you can see a little bit. this is midtown manhattan on 42nd street. we're just a blocked down from a grand central terminal, one of the biggest trained terminals here in midtown manhattan. and you can get a sense of how long the lines are. we're seeing that the testing sites throughout the city. sometimes dozens, if not hundreds of people wrapped around the book. and if we pivot over this way, i just want to show you, you might see the tend to off and the distance there. that's another testing site. nobody is there right now because the folks in there are on lunch break, but down the block. every block here on 42nd street, there's a tent for testing, but it is still not enough. the

new york city has become right now at this very time, the national epa center in the united states of the pandemic. all 50 states in the us have proven some cases of ami kron. but here in new york city, it is worse than anywhere else in america. the big issue is testing. there is not enough testing here in the city or state to meet all of the demand. if it's a state of 20000000 people and about half of which live here in new york city, and with the cases rising so exponentially over the last week or so, there is a huge demand for testing. as you can see at this test site that we're at here on 42nd street in midtown manhattan. the lines have been at times hundreds of people they've stretched for blocks in some parts of the city. and you can see that it's not just right here at this testing site, but they're trying to open testing sites all over the city as fast as they can. in fact, if you look down a block here, you can see another one. they're just a block ahead all of these sites just of open within the last 48 hours or so. and even beyond that, another block, there are more testing
