You misspelled communist
How did those types of people become the Head of any agency in our government? They are not very bright
Wow these people are ridiculous
What’s so ridiculous marc
@@filltheglass2618Woke is broke.
I’ll be glad to see this administration.. PACKING IT SHIT UP FOR GOOD
Don't count on it until it's done. But I'm right there with you.
Stay vigilant!!!
@@rickrobbins1037If you're right there with him, then don't count on it also.
Get rid of this guy. He is despicable.
Rules are guidelines. Laws are explicit. I can break a rule and not get into trouble
A law? Yeah thats illegal
Very big difference.
When your money can be taken from you by force by bureaucratic "rules", similar to the force of law, then the lines are obviously blurred.
They warp the law to fit the rules to throw you in prison
EPA has shown “balance” and “aggression” in administering the law? Hmmmm both concepts are mutually exclusive.
Not when bad actors repeat offend as is so common.
@@astronautical1082
The EPA is a bad actor
No doubt. How can you aggressively balance a law?
Tribunals are coming
I truly hope so
He's going to give them the money. You watch.
You should read the wiki on them.
He already gave them money, it just hasn't been signed yet. He avoids using their name directly in EVERY one of his responses.
This guy Reagan is just a smarmy punk. How can there be such a lack of adults in this administration? I know as a fact there are good, impressive and competent Democrats in this country.
DEI hire i bet
Start naming some. Who ? Kennedy maybe
He believes in anything that promotes his power and his job . That's what he believes in most .
Chevron Deference is Gone ... Start Defunding Bureaucracies... make them Loby Groups and Not a Governmental power unto themselves
Cut the budget.
Another DEI hire; rebuild the EPA!
This regan guy is a little wannabe dictator.
Great job Pat!
. DEFUND EPA
Put the administrator in jail.

@@whydoeknow3563Wake up, grow up, and think for yourself. It is OK to admit that you have been fooled by THE NEW WORLD ORDER.
Using democratic principles are not the same as being a pure democracy. If we were in a pure democracy, nothing would get done.
That does not normalize rule over the majority by a depraved minority.
If it were a pure democracy, then it would be mob rule and things would certainly get done. Would definitely suck if you were on the minority side of any issue, because you'd get steamrolled by the majority, "the mob", every time.
We are a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC. I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United States of America. And to the REPUBLIC for which it stands. One nation under God. Indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Tribunals are coming.
@@seanlee2650Yes we are. But our form of Government is a Democracy!!
@@gailcarmack2954
We use the democratic system of voting to pick out constitutional representatives.
Being a Republic means NO mob rule.

This guy just doesn’t get it, another DEI appointment that proves this shit doesn’t work
So you're against clean air?
@@dotmarceo NO. He is against idiocy.
@@willcox4561Then why would he make such an idiotic comment? He couldn't tell you a single thing about Regan's qualifications. Before you look them up on Wikipedia, can you? Doubt it.
Oh since you know obviously know more than this "DEI hire" why don't you go ahead and explain to us how he's wrong. Also tell us your state so we can have fun with your stance on the EPA.
@@academicdeaneducation6671 You clearly need to do more homework. Start with the new regs in Iowa and then move on to Oregon and many other examples. Long established Amish farms are even being shutdown.
Another sugar britches who is unqualified. It never ends with this administration.
What are the qualifications?
Why does the EPA have $50 mil to give away?
@@michaelgray4601 ask the house who gives your money away. no answer? ask your rep or senator.
The EPA, along with several other Departments of government, needs to be done completely absolved
I agree... get that EPA BS off our diesel trucks to!

"Okay, so we're not getting an answer.." HAHAHA
He acted as if he wasn’t aware and then tried to tell LB like he knew.
The audacity of this guy is unbearable. His smug and dismissive attitude is unbelievable.
The diversity hirres sure stand out
And if you notice they cry misogyny, racism or some other ism, ist, or phobe whenever ridiculous ideas or actions are criticized.
That's the whole playbook rule 1 right there.
what facts can you provide that prove he is a diversity hire?? Remember facts over feelings and it seems like you are in your feelings.
like tim, byron, ben and kash?
Don't act like you're smart.
Don’t ask him those hard questions
On CJA website the first thing listed is free Palestine.
Word salad:
We are building local alternatives that center traditional ecological and cultural knowledge and create a pathway for a regenerative future.
Deregulating is why Palestine happened.
that is a LIE....there is NO reference to palastine.......did you even look at the website? the statement you refer to is NOT word salad, it is a carefully designed statement to put forth the direction of the EPA. you do know that the EPA regulates water safety (local control over Flint water caused devastating impacts on citizens although read the history of how almost immediately the auto factory switched back because the new water source was so contaminated it was corroding the engines), how breaks in oil pipelines are destroying land and how the run off from nitrates in the midwest into our streams and rivers is KILLING off living beings.....be careful what fish you eat because they can be contaminated with chemicals.......learn and educate before jumping on the republican bandwagon of monetary gain over safety and protection.
@@deborahplasencia1833 yes I did, you dolt.
@@samstelly8815 no 'palastine' listed on the website.
Wow, just wow
This EPA administrator is terrible.
The one mistake President Nixon made was starting the EPA.
He made some others, but EPA was a bad one.
he did what the 50-states were begging for.
Abolish the EPA.
Disban the EPA.
The fact that this organization is being CONSIDERED for 50 million dollars is abhorrent!!!
DEI hire!
DEI to racists is whenever a black person has a job.
@@DIRTYdeeds613 Donalds is the purest example of a DEI hire for the Republican Party. The good thing about DEI is that it’s not about qualifications, just a method to consider when there are clearly equal candidates. You don’t think the republican party were tripping over themselves to promote Byron?
@@DIRTYdeeds613 Exactly
10x smarter than you, though.
@@DIRTYdeeds613 agree, foolish people voted for byeron and an intelligent person appointed michael. it is what it.
There has to be one qualified black person in this administration even though I haven’t seen one yet.
Interesting.
Sec/Labor-never owned a business
Sec/Trans-“Pothole Pete”
Sec/Interior-never owned land
Sec/Energy-never worked in energy
Sec/VA-admitted TODAY that it would NOT follow the Restoration Act, and instead follow guidance from DOJ/Executive Branch.
Sec/DHS-A Cuban who told Cubans “do not come here. There is nothing for you here!”
Sec/Land Management-an eco warrior that sold out her friends to avoid prison.
These people are not chosen for their qualifications, they are chosen for their ideology.
This guy here Regan’s only “meaningful” contribution in over 15 years of working government (his only job, no civilian experience) is creating a “climate justice” board.
Incompetence abounds in this admin, and it begins with a man who can barely stand and has somehow built a fortune while never working outside of government. Not as a truck driver, not as a lifeguard. Not as a miner. Not in the top of his class. Not with 3 degrees. Not when he was or wasn’t (depending on the speech he gave, he goes back and forth) marching in the 70’s, and not when he “never spoke to his son about business”. When your leader is a liar, a cheat, and has flip flopped his way through decades of “service”, these are the people you get underneath him.
@@dotmarceoIt’s not interesting, it’s blatant affirmative action. These people were picked based on their race, not their qualifications. You want to see well accomplished, respected black men? Look at Clarence Thomas, Tim Scott, Ben Carson or Thomas Sowell for starters. Then you’ll realize the OP was right.
put your glasses back on.
Congress doesn't have the capacity to create a law for every detail and situation. So they write a law such as "Companies can't dump their waste in the river" and so the epa makes rules to manage the details, to define what constitutes waste, to determine the appropriate way to handle waste, safe places to dump, etc. And until now those details have been written based on the input of people who actually study the environment, but now they will be decided by judges who are NOT subject matter experts.
This EPA Commissioner guy - whoever he is - is GREASY like a used car salesman.
dragged that kicking and screaming, and finally at the end said..... to not get that grant...... He could have just said that in the beginning.
Note he didn't anything about an organization being violent or supporting terrorism.
#EPAGUY NEEDS REMOVED NOW
Definitely a DEI hire….. and activist.
Dismantle ALL 3 letter agencies and start from scratch.
Energy expert from TX? Didn't all their stuff freeze up a few years ago?😂
The only state in the nation with a truly independent energy grid, had a freak storm.
You're not making a meaningful point making fun of a state who doesn't need your cluelessness for it to exist.
@@UpYourArsenalBut when it all goes to shit. It's the Federal Government that gets called. Just like all the other States.
@@gailcarmack2954 I'd like to think it makes more sense to let Texas have their own power grid, and the Fed give them $60m to reinforce it for cold weather -- than to let the federal government give a cumulative $1Billion promoting tourism to countries that aren't ours, 'gender equality' in the most sexist nations on the planet, or giving grants to colleges to research the effects of giving vodka to fish.
@@UpYourArsenal Pretty sure we have already. Given them money for their infrastructure. To spend however they want. You do know studies of those various things. Come from different people in Congress. Which I highly doubt there is a vodka to fish study. But it was funny. Now the other. I highly doubt it. unless what we get in return. Is more valuable.
@@gailcarmack2954 Look it up -- $100,000 in 1975. For this to be what of the most 'absurd' examples, think of all the money they spend on something that might actually have meaning in the world?
Instead of simply 'doubting' what I say because you don't want to believe me -- look it up, learn for yourself.
Balance and aggressive dont go together
Equity on display
He is a fool that can't even understand the questions.
Bs questions.
Because people that don't understand how it works. Are asking a lot of silly questions.
no.. he understands the questions... the questions are just garbage.
What is the EPA’s position on the chem trails that are public knowledge btw. That change weather?
There is a difference between cloud seeding (which is real) and chem trails (which is not).
@@intpandemic7779 what chemicals do they use? Are they good for humans? Life in general? And how else do they do it besides “chem” trails???
@@intpandemic7779negative. Both are the same, cloud seeding is just a more described action. Also chem trails are very much real and public knowledge. Shit even your car leaves chem trails.
Fallon give it up!!!
Cut off all funding for the EPA, ATF, IRS, DOE, CIA, FBI, and the Federal Reserve!!!
You want a lawless society? That sounds criminal.
@@dotmarceo you over react sir. There is nothing lawful about unelected administrators creating rules that DO NOT have the standing of law. However, violate a rule and a group of Jack booted, armor wearing, armed thugs will visit you at 0500 and ransack your home and terrorize your family. That may also include killing your pets or releasing them into the neighborhood. There is a huge difference between rule makers and laws. The leading comment said nothing with police or other LE or security enforcement. Only those that have proven to operate within the “rules” that change as frequently as the President or Secretary.
@@dotmarceoHalf of these agencies shouldn't even exist and none of them should be armed.
@@dotmarceoi would like to see a society that has laws. We have laws yes? But the rules. The crazy rules that congress have not approved. Are unconstitutional. Btw. You want to see lawless? Look at most democrat run cities. You have no dog in this fight
sounds like you want to consume toxic waste with your morning cereal, please enjoy.
They should require him to watch Driving Miss Daisy . Show them how to act in front of people .
So smart of you!!
yeah, he forgot to bow and grin.
This guy does not want to lose any of his power or funding.

please do. the us needs millions unemployed and unable to feed their families.

Get Trump back in.
Regan is such a smart ass
They were scheduled to receive!! So let's hear some more political double talk!!!!😂😂😂
He's supposed to be an "expert"? 🤣
They'll get the money!
I think he gave the right answer. He agreed with the law maker. Whats wrong with that.
EPA guy all in all not to bad compared to the others who usually outright refuse to answer. Not bad.
The ultimate DEI vhire right there everybody.
Step and fetch it Regan.
This guy is one slick snake
He sounds just like my ex wife.... I got rid of her too
Mr. EPA is a jerk and likes the money he makes and the power he throws around. Not a good combination.
He avoided stating they would not get any gov tax payers dollars.... which means they will if not stopped
1. 2 trillion dollars in regulatory costs? Let's assume that number is correct. If Congress tells the EPA to clean up the environment (in some general way), then the EPA may well end up imposing such costs in order to clean up the environment. If the costs are unreasonable, it may be because Congress misdirected the EPA, telling it to do something it shouldn't. No one ever thinks of that.
This guy is an awesome filibusterer. The EPA is an incredibly destructive machine.
NO THE EPA IS NOT IN ANYWAYS ASSIGNED HEALTH LMAO... GET THESE PEOPLE OUT .... SADNESS
Reagon still says yet.
😢
I know AIPAC has representation
The American people
Not so much
Congress wrote the law that enacted the epa to protect the environment and health . Let’s not forget that the fossil fuel industry receives $8,000,000 a minute in subsidies.
sound like they should not received 50 million dollar in their budget.
Yet again another example of a DEI hire who is clueless.
The EPA could be abolished tomorrow.
Didn't
Earn
It
@@robertmize327 agree, michael didn't earn his degrees from tump university.
Reagan is wrong, EPA has nothing to do with public health, that’s the purview of the CDC.
um.. the environment has nothing to do with health?
soo.. pollution.... who takes care of that... the CDC or the EPA?
or do we just trust the free market capitalists to a handshake agreement not to pollute?
the answer is the EPA...
He is just taking his DEI reparations.....
Hahahahaha! This cat is a master at avoidance of answering questions in sworn testimony, under oath.
All these expenditures are massively affecting our economy via inflation and simultaneously reducing GDP.
Wow Regan is the affect of affirmative action.
Smarter than you.
The various "departments" make rules which have the same weight and penalties of LAWS. Only Congress can make laws. These departments were formed to enforce THOSE laws, not make new laws, if if they spell those laws R-U-L-E.
I love how the same people yelling that they aren't racist are in this chat talking about how this guy is obviously a DEI hire. You people are ignorant to your own evil.
The 1.2 trillion dollars in regulatory costs may be over a 10 year period or some other such thing. Anti-regulation lawmakers love to play with such numbers. But what they really love to do is calculate the economic costs of regulating while excluding the economic benefits of regulating, which are, admittedly, harder to quantify, but are just as real. If a formerly polluted lake becomes swimmable and fishable thanks to EPA regs, that provides a boost to the local economy. Multiply that by the number of such formerly polluted lakes nationwide. Don't pretend otherwise. Same with cleaner air leading to less fewer lung diseases. Same with fewer carcinogens in the environment, thanks to EPA regs. Throw in the economic effects of these changes, if you want a true cost accounting.
Epa needs to go bye bye forever.. what do they need guns for again
The far right never gives up on their cherry picks. Yes, rules ARE designed under auspices of laws, and it is impossible to have government micro-manage by convening to make all rules.
For example, there simply is no time or expertise for Reps to meet to determine the amount of lead in water. Can you imagine tasking a far rightist who owns a polluting businesses to help determine EPA rules?
That power belongs to the States and not some unelected Federal Government bureaucrat with radical ideologies that cost us trillions of dollars and do nothing beneficial.
DEI promotion
if you like clean water and clean air it costs more then dirty water and air. the environment needs protection from the greedy for all to prosper.
why are politicians so stuck on hypotheticals and "gothca" moments
this is problem bureaucrats think they make laws and enforce them. Enough defund these clowns
Congress makes the laws, the executive branch enforces them, the EPA is a function of the executive branch. Their rules are designed to enforce the laws since the laws will be vague like "companies can't dump waste in the rivers" so it's the EPA's job to rule on all the different details such as what constitutes waste, where IS a safe place to dump waste, etc. Congress doesn't have the capacity to rule on every specific detail needed to enforce their own laws.
In December the EPA awarded $50 million to Climate Justice Alliance, a network of nearly 90 affiliates, which plans to use the money to “resource community-based organizations (CBOs) to address past, current, and future environmental health and justice challenges.”May 23, 2024
DEI director. There seems to be quite a few of these showing up at these hearings.
EPA was never designed or created to regulate CO2, a effectively non toxic gas just as Nitrogen is not regulated
Heres the problem, if trump got into office again and started an enforcement agency on an executive order for like the space force or something barring any hobby launches or drones and let the agency come up with their own rules bypassing congress all together…
Thank you Forbes for showing how ridiculous these Republican congresscritters are. Most of them are not so stupid that they really don't know how congress-ratified agencies implement the laws, but boy do they love do give that impression while they grandstand on their talking points.
DEA hired through DEI.
EPA has authority under the law to establish regulation. Additionally, I dont think a football bro with a degree in degree in government and international relations to is an expert in enviomental protection.
