We were to win every single one which we know wont happen, best case scenario, we wind up where we were before trump which was the ground that produced trump which was dangerous. these crises predate trump. im involved in the climate issue. we cant afford these lost years of just holding where we were before trump. there needs to be a yes woven into the no. im not saying no -- >> of course. >> no is absolutely necessary. but you can do two things at once. >> so i think in terms of the galvanizin...

>> well, i disagree. i think the democrats have a problem with galvanizing their base. we just saw with the british elections what really turned things around was an exciting vision of the future that made people register to vote in record numbers. 75 youth voter turn out. they were voting for something tangible, a future that was better than the present. one of the reasons why no was not enough under trump is if we are fighting defensive battles all of these years and even if we were to win eve...

Gary cohn. when ceos were criticized, the argument was i dont want to be on the same side of the president. but shifting it all -- >> i dont know why we are criticizing it. the whole point of the country is to have critical discussions on important issues instead of reducing it down to 140 characters in a ridiculous -- i dont know what it is. chest bumping and is exhausting. but i thicked lloyds tweet. he had a lot of comments on climate change and a lot of ceos talked about. bob egger from disn...

To get out, get out of what? there is actually no mechanism that forces people to do what the treaty requires and it really is not about climate change. those who are worried about that issue should want it to end because it gives a false impression about the issue. it is an economic issue. >> i will bring the train back to the coverage issue. more on the politics of the climate issue coming up. back to ellen. coming off what tammiy said. looking at the white house press briefing and scott pruit...

Im jenna lee. epa administrator scott pruitt also took to the podium, trying to handle a little damage control on the climate issue. here he is. >> we have nothing to be apologetic about as a country. weve reduced our co2 footprint to levels of an early 1990s. in fact, from 2000 to 2014, we reduced our carbon footprint by over 18%. and thats been largely accomplished through innovation and technology, not government mandate. so when we look at issues like this, we are leading with action and not...
