Commitments to recuse themselves have not been fully honored. i hope that will change, but the second issue involvements three other subpoenas that went out without consultation. i only learned about this late the night before, and that is a problem. these were sent out unilaterally by the chairman, and i think theyre part of the white house desire to shift attention away from the probe and on to the issue of unmasking, but mr. conaway and i are determined not to lose our focus on the russian in...

This idea, the checks marks on white board, thats been crucial to his dialogue and his ordinary ty throughout. if youre following along that path, this is another presidential win. >> i dont know that id call it a win. id call it a promise kept. if you want to call that a win. interestingly enough to a certain degree, the president in an effect has already pulled out of the paris climate accord. theres a number of provisions that he and his epa director, scott pruitt, have imposed. for instance,...

According to the same study, by 2040, compliance with the commitments put into place by the previous administration would cut the following sectors. paper down 12%. cement down 23%. iron and steel down 38%. coal -- and i happen to love the coal miners -- down 86%. natural gas, down 31%. the cost of the economy at this time would be close to $3 trillion in lost gdp and 6.5 million industrial jobs while

What else are you hearing? >> in addition to hearing its a bad deal, we expect to hear the president double down on the notion is the foremost important thing is american jobs. the renaissance in american manufacturing and making sure that americans first when it comes to these deals. he will suggest this paris climate accord negotiated in 2015 was front-loading the cost on american workers and extracting meaningless commitments to companies like china that are polluting more than the united sta...

Road unfairly positions the marketplace vis-a-vis the global marketplace and puts us at a competitive disadvantage. i dont know where all those facts bear that out. ive not seen any evidence of that since the accord really hasnt kicked in yet, so to speak. so i think a lot of this is worrying about what may happen, which is again why i made the argument to stay in the game so you can protect against that and actually position the american economy to be the global leader, particularly in this new...

"not everything that is written into international agreement is fake news," he is saying. theyre obviously making a reference to words that president trump himself tends to use every once in a while. that same man, jean-claude juncker, also said, look, if the u.s. wants to step off the leadership stage here as far as climate is concerned, maybe china will want to move into that vacuum. state would have it the chinese prime minister is in europe right now, meeting with the economic powerhouse her...

Out of the paris accord. your old boss, president obama wrote "the nations that remain in the paris agreement will be the nations that reap the benefits and jobs and industries created. i believe the united states of america should be at the front of the pact. even in the absence of american leadership, even as this administration joins a small handful of nations that reject the future, im confident that our state, cities, and businesses will step up and do even more to lead the way. and help pr...
