YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWATCH LIVE: In this intense House Appropriations Committee hearing, Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin face off in a heated exchange over the future of environmental policy. DeLauro sharply criticizes the administration's budget proposal, calling it a "climate deniers manifesto" and highlighting massive cuts to the EPA’s staff and research capabilities. The debate turns explosive as they clash over the administration’s stance on climate change and its impact on critical infrastructure like water treatment and flood prevention. Zeldin counters by presenting data on record-breaking criminal enforcement and civil penalties, arguing that the current administration is more effective at holding polluters accountable. A major point of contention arises regarding the State Revolving Loan Funds, with Zeldin accusing Congress of "raiding" these funds for localized earmarks. The two also spar over landmark legal precedents, including the Loper Bright and West Virginia v. EPA Supreme Court decisions. Watch the full confrontation to see how these two leaders battle over the EPA’s mission and the protection of American communities.
