Energy Secretary Wants to Ban Stoves Based on 'Oval Burners'
"The gas stoves that would be impacted are high impact high assuming high end gas stoves for the more expensive gas stoves And the reason why they were found to be inadequate is because in many cases they're very heavy greats and the burners can be an oval shape which causes an excess amount of natural gas to be emitted relative to the pot that's on there So it's just it's a wasteful use of natural gas That is Jennifer Granholm who runs the energy department And so they're not looking to ban all gas though just thieves expensive ones that rich people have you see maybe restaurants because you see the the burners are over And any physicist knows you've oval burners there's an excess amount of heat that's necessary to cook that which is put upon the oval burner And it just wastes natural gas I like the secretary who really wastes a lot of natural gas when she speaks but nonetheless and the greats are very heavy The grates The hell's a great I don't know Does she mean the grill tops Anyway the greats are very very heavy Now we can't have that Over here in the energy department We don't want heavy grades so we don't want oval burners So we we are going to regulate the amount of existence We don't need Congress We don't need executive orders Why do you think we have so many people here who are paid so much money It gets such great pensions and medical coverage Because we're here to help We can't expect these stupid parents to buy the right gas stoves

Fusion breakthrough could be climate, energy game-changer
"Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore national laboratory announced a breakthrough achievement in the quest to harness fusion energy. Scientists at the national ignition facility achieved fusion ignition. Energy secretary Jennifer Granholm joined scientists and officials at a news conference to mark the historic breakthrough that could pave the way for advancements in national defense and the future of clean power. It's the first time it has ever been done in a laboratory. Scientists used a 192 lasers focused on a target about the size of a peppercorn, Marvin Adams, with the national nuclear security administration explained how this time was different. The fusion fuel stayed hot enough, dense enough and round enough for long enough. That it ignited. And it produced more energies than the lasers had deposited. Can budal is the director of the Lawrence Livermore national laboratory. She says the advance paves the way for more discoveries.

US scientists set to announce fusion energy breakthrough
"The Department of Energy is announcing a major advance in the quest to harness a fusion reaction. Sources say for the first time, researchers at the Lawrence Livermore national laboratory in California were able to produce more energy and a fusion reaction than was used to ignite it. It's a significant breakthrough that could one day help produce carbon free energy, although scientists say producing enough to power homes and businesses is still decades away. Fusion reactions don't create radioactive waste, but net energy gain has been an elusive goal because fusion happens at such high temperatures and pressures that it's incredibly difficult to control. Energy secretary Jennifer Granholm and officials from The White House and the national nuclear security administration are set to make an announcement this morning with more details.

Biden's Energy Secretary STILL Doesn't Have a Plan
"Here is our secretary of energy talking to my friend Tom Keane on the network. I used to work for Bloomberg television and she's being asked, what exactly her energy plan is, and you need to hear her response. In Sturgis, Michigan, it is $2, 89 cents a gallon. I guess that's better than in California. What is the grand home plan to increase oil production in America? Oh my God. That is hilarious. Wood that I had the magic wand on this, as you know, of course, oil is a global market. It is controlled by a cartel that cartel is called OPEC and they made a decision yesterday that they were not going to increase beyond what they were already planning. So she laughs. The answer is to laugh when you're being asked, your energy secretary, what your energy plan is. And to say, well, I have no control over it because it's all OPEC. Wow, I mean, wow. Do they think we're that stupid? I'll tell you Tom keen's not. He's not stupid, and most of those Bloomberg viewers, Mike Bloomberg never liked it, but it was often referred to as the billionaire's network because a lot of billionaires would tune in. They wanted to know what markets were doing and it's pretty sophisticated place. Again, I worked there many years myself, actually my first job was actually a Bloomberg. I think I'm the only person in Bloomberg's history to have worked there twice, but later went back around, all their political coverage did the market close program there for two years, street smart with Trish Regan. And I can tell you people are hungry, people are hungry for an energy policy. This was actually something that was this Jennifer Granholm interview was actually done almost a year ago. So a year ago, they didn't have a policy. They still don't have a policy today. And instead, they're making this push away from fossil fuels at a time when our country really isn't ready for it.

What Inflation Will Mean for the Democrats in 2024
"To turn to the political implications of all this because inflation comes at a cost, not just for the American people, but actually for the political system itself. And I suspect, you know, given that he's sort of in the wrong place at the wrong time, Joe Biden is going to feel the consequence of all this, as well as everybody in his entire cabinet. I mean, I don't know how any of them, frankly, have much of a political future. Certainly not in the here and now. Because of the challenges in our economy. Kamala Harris has often been touted as somebody who may take over the Democrat party. I think those days have kind of come and gone for her. She's got her own set of challenges, including how she speaks to the media. You've seen all those clips, so I won't get into that with you, but you know what I'm talking about. Pete Buttigieg, he's got his own issues because heck he's head of transportation and gas prices are through the roof. Jennifer Granholm head of energy. You get gas prices. Again, through the roof, which people are really upset about. And so I think the Democrat party is increasingly looking at alternatives. You heard me say on the show earlier in the week, I would not be surprised to see Joe Biden get primaried. In fact, maybe they need to do that. If they want to have any shot at 2024, I think the guy that campaigning for the job right now within the party is probably Gavin Newsom. So watch him carefully, I think it's going to be amusing in some ways if he were to get the nomination from Joe Biden. Certainly horrible for Biden, but probably horrible for the Democrats again here because he's so far left out there in California and California has been such a mess and that's, you know, being kind, keep it clean here. For the kids, but California has been really and truly a mess. And there's no way that those policies that have been popular in California would ever work on a national scale. And I think that's what he would run into in terms of challenges down the road. I don't

Washington state continues to do well with its tax collections, which has Republicans in a special session for tax relief, especially at the gas pump, Ryan Harris says more on their debate. With another state revenue forecast that shows nearly one and a half $1 billion more coming in than the February forecast, Republicans like representative Ed or cut say instead of additional spending followed by more taxes when revenue drops, this is a chance for us to actually allow the taxpayers to keep some of their hard earned dollars at a time when those dollars are the hardest earned. Democratic representative Tim armsby says the forecast is short term news, not a sign of what the state's long-term liabilities will be. The risks are definitely skewed to the downside and want to be very cautious about short term decisions that have long-term implications. The revenue forecast also accounts for a strong possibility of a recession that could cut into tax collections, which is why Democrats worry a short term tax cut could backfire.

Dinesh D’Souza Explains Partnership With Salem Media Over '2000 Mules'
"And we've never really partnered like this. Talk a little bit about the importance of your team partnering with our team for 2000 mules. Well, first of all, I think it's to the great credit of Salem as a company. I mean, it's a public company to take on a topic like this that has so many minefields and so many risks, I think is a testament to the great courage of ALM in stepping behind this. The second thing that's kind of funny, Mike that I think you'll appreciate, as you know, Salem hosts are not of one mind on this issue. There was a lot of variety of points of view. Perhaps Eric metaxas and gorka leaning more to the idea of, yeah, that was stolen election, but certainly Dennis prager and Charlie Kirk and Larry elder were not on that same page. And when Salem first suggested to me the idea of putting the hosts in the movie, I wasn't quite sure how that would work. And then I got the idea of kind of bringing them together, telling them nothing about the movie, just talking about what they thought originally, then showing them the evidence and recording their spontaneous reaction. I knew they'd have a lot of intelligent questions, and I thought, well, those are going to be the questions on the mind of the audience. And then we'll sum up by asking them their conclusions. So it worked beautifully essentially what we did is we took this Salem host and made them part of the plot of the movie.

So I think the left is trying to block its own side from seeing it, and there were two headlines in the last 48 hours.

Absolutely. And I would say that there is so it's important to go to send a message. And go as a group. By the way, a lot of people have been writing me the last few weeks. I'd like to take my club, my book club, my reading group, my Friends, and my point is this movie was made for the theater. It's kind of a whodunnit, it's great to see it on the big screen. I mean, it's fine to see it on your computer or your TV, but the big screen with other people who are just as interested in you as you are in this issue is a whole different experience.

Dinesh D’Souza: '2000 Mules' Had to Be Released in a Novel Way
"Did you ever expect the 2000 mules would get the kind of response it's getting dinesh? Well, it was really hard to say, Mike, because I knew that the content of the movie was explosive. In other words, it was bringing a factual bearing on this issue that has haunted the American mind for two years. I mean, we were showing never before seen video. That's the official surveillance video of the states themselves. It's authenticity not even open to question. So I knew the material was radioactive. It was hot. I'd got balls of censorship that had been erected around this issue. It is the most banned topic in America. I knew the movie would have to be released in a completely novel way. So I'm delighted that, I mean, it's all jumbled right normally we release in the theater, then three months later, we release DVDs and digital downloads, but no, we first had a virtual premiere, then we have digital downloads, people are buying DVDs, and now we're going into the theater 400 theaters for showings a day, and by the way, if we do well this weekend, which I really hope we will be in even more theaters next

He directed federal agencies to eliminate all supports for fossil fuels. He imposed new regulations on oil and gas and methane emissions. Those were all just in the first few days.

As you have heard, there is a lot of conversation that is happening right now. In saying that this crisis in Europe and the crisis are allies are facing. And the reduction of supply of natural gas and oil from Russia creates a moment that we should be acting. I mean, we heard president zelensky. We do not want to see any country that is held hostage to Vladimir Putin. And this is a moment for Congress to be able to act. There can be a compromise. There can be movement on this.

"Inflation is driving up labor costs and i think this bigger than expected increase in labor costs is what scared golden investors after all more inflation means. The fed is gonna fight it. So they're going to tighten up on monetary policy and therefore that's bad for gold except they've done nothing to fight inflation except talk about it and talking about it and doing something are completely different things and so the market is still doesn't get that the fed is crying wolf and that it will continue to cry wolf indefinitely as long as the idiot villagers. Keep on running and in this case. They're running away from goal when they should be running towards gold. Then we got to personal income and spending numbers they also came out. And i think this worked against gold because the personal spending number came out higher than expected and there was an upward revision to the prior month so the aug increase in personal spending was initially reported as up point eight that was revised up one and the consensus for september was again a point. Five percent we gain point six percent so consumers out there spending more money and i guess again that has implications for inflation and fed policy so another headwind for gold except when you actually look at the number. Personal income crashed in september. It was down one. Full percentage point that was against an expectation for a fall of point one so basically ten times the drop in income and of course if incomes dropped and spending rose than savings plunged which is exactly what happened. But what does tell you. This means that in order for the spending to continue wants to savings are exhausted. New income is going to have to be there. Will that source of income going to be. It's gonna come for the government. Government is going to create more stimulus. They're gonna give more people money so they can keep on spending it. And of course. I went over the record. Trade deficit on my last podcast. Where is this money going. This increase in consumer spending. It's on imports. We could see that in record imports record trade deficits so to the extent. That consumers are spending more money on imported products. This is inflationary. This is negative for the dollar. Because we're putting more dollars into global circulation without adequate demand. I mean the only demand for dollars is to speculate on overpriced or money losing. Us tech companies but that demand is not going to be there forever and when it goes. There's nothing left to support the dollar. There's certainly no demand for us treasuries at these ridiculously low rates. So there's only demand for these speculative stocks. But i look at this personal income and spending number as being bullish for gold because it shows that more money is being spent on imports and that incomes are inadequate to finance spending and therefore the fed reserve is gonna come up with even more stimulus. We're going to be sending out more checks to people who don't have the incomes but in order to keep them spending. We're going to have to replace the incomes. They don't have with new money that the fed prince we did get to chicago. Pm ido and friday. That was a higher than expected numbers..

For those who, some made me saying, we know they're saying it. Well, let's just focus on the hard infrastructure not the human from your point of view, lastly, madam secretary. Can there really be a delineation? Can let's say the hard infrastructure goes through is it as effective without the other part of the human infrastructure Bill? No, I mean, this is the this is the bones of our lives, right? I mean, when you think about just look at child care alone. And there's a story in the front page of The New York Times debate that talks about how much other countries invest in child care to help their families so that the families can go to work, right? And so on the average advanced nations pay about $14,000 per family so that the family can afford child care. In the United States, you know how much we pay $500. That's nothing. So let's get at least on average with other countries. And that's what this bill provides $14,000 to help families be able to have their children have good child care. So that both parents can go to work if they choose to do so. Those kind of things, reducing the costs for everyday families. That is very much a part of how we live our lives in the same way that having access to broadband is very much a part of how we live our lives. Right. And I think more than ever before during this pandemic, we saw how the lack of access to broadband impacted families and school children. So folks, these are all things very, very important to have to happen. We all waiting with bated breath along with the secretary of energy, Jennifer Granholm, madam secretary.

"Talk with secretary of energy jennifer granholm about how fast and how far the white house ready to go to take action sector granholm. Home joins me next. The most maddening aspects of america's very sluggish and wholly inadequate response to climate change and the energy transition is that there is a whole lot of low hanging fruit. we still have not picked. Here's just one example. According to the environmental protection agency more than one hundred years of drilling for fossil fuels have left three million abandoned toil and gas wells across the us and more than two million of them are just unplugged and plugging or capping. Those wells means they would no longer emit greenhouse gases which would cut emissions significantly in fact back in april. Nbc's josh letterman. Went to montana. Report on these unplugged oil wells. Oh yeah you can smell. Yeah definitely smile. And with infrared cameras you can see it dangerous gases spewing from abandoned oil and gas wells so that's a method methane gas three times more powerful than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere. And it's just coming out this well and you would have no idea that it's even there can't see with the naked again these wells are just opened spewing this invisibly all the time not to produce actual fuel just for no reason capping. These wells is just one part of the infrastructure proposal. that's currently making. Its way through congress. One of the biggest advocates for that legislation secretary of energy jennifer granholm. Who joins me now. I didn't actually know a lot about this. Provision until i sort of started to do a deep dive seem like a no brainer. Total no brainer. In fact The president in his original proposal had put sixteen billion dollars in to be able to do this. Democrats like it. Republicans like it. It's got bipartisan support. Why it hasn't been done earlier. I don't know we really need to take care of this. Because that greenhouse gas that they're referring to his methane hugely powerful in causing climate change. Yeah one of the things. I think appealing about this. My understanding is that sixteen billion dollars proposals. Actually in the bipartisan. Part of the of the bills that are now working their way through is that it would employ folks that work on oil rigs pipe fitters the kind of people that normally do drilling give them jobs in the industry. They're trained for that would essentially do the opposite of drilling exactly and i would. You'd add onto that abandoned mines. Same thing you could put mine workers to work getting paid good union wages to be able to cap the minds that they know very well similarly on the oil and gas side so yeah. It really is a huge. It's a small number inside of the bipartisan framework. But it will have an outsized impact in terms of climate change just to zoom out a second. I we've been talking about the this bill and the sort of climate aspects of it for weeks and it seems there's sort of two questions right. Which is how much can we deploy the current technology. We have which is really a question and then when do we get the frontier of what we can do with the technology we have which is an innovation question. I wonder how you think about those particularly in the role of the depart of energy which has a huge research aspect to it. Yeah i mean. The department of energy is really the solutions department. We have seventeen national labs. That are really breaking ground on all sorts of clean energy research. So for example chris In the past couple of weeks we've announced to what we call earth shots which are big hairy goals to cut the cost of hydrogen to cut the cost. it's clean hydrogen the cut the cost of storage energy storage batteries for utilities. We have a goal of cutting the cost of solar in half yet again and solar is the cheapest form of energy on the planet. So though that's on the technology side and then of course you have to deploy all of these technologies and the doe has got funds to be able to do that in our loan programs office so we are pressing the envelope on both ends employ deployment as well as technology. It's interesting raise the storage because in my mind reading this situation that does seem to be. There's a lot of places where we do have deployable tech right now. There are underutilized but but as we deploy that more and more of the storage solving the storage question right particular around solar which obviously is there during the day and during the night like solving that scale does seem like one of the biggest challenges in this space right now cracking the code on how you can create clean dispatch. -able power is really the end game every country is looking for this and certainly if we can crack the code because solar is so cheap and the next cheapest form of energy is wind. Those are both so cheap. but they don't they. Don't come exactly when you need them. So if you can store that energy and then dispatch it when you need it. It would solve an enormous amount of problems so our goal was to cut the cost of that big storage by ninety percent. And honestly we are. We can see this happening even as we speak because the cost of storage already has dropped significantly. How when you think about scale here. What kind of dollars are we talking about. Maybe you can talk about the sort of earth shot. The us announced here. But you know at some level when you think about this stuff. it's expensive all of it's expensive. We're talking tens hundreds of billions of dollars. But when you think about it in the in the context of the cost of climate disaster a climate mitigation. We're even what we spend on defence. It doesn't seem doesn't seem like out of the the realm of possibility.

"Back. John mccain warned years ago that cyber would be the key new battlefield of the twenty first century turns out he was very right on this one. The panelists next welcome back the panel is with us in gear and white house correspondent for the washington post former hardball anchor and msnbc. Chris matthews he's author of a new book. This country my life and politics and history. Kimberly atkins store senior opinion writer for the boston. Globe and lonnie chen fellow at stanford university's hoover institution and. I want to start with what i found interesting from both warner and blunt. Which is they both seem to separate a bit more from putin versus what we're dealing with with cyber just as the white house seemed to be telling indicating they're ready to actually hold putin more accountable. Where is the biden white house on this. They want to treat. This is putin problem or as a criminal problem. You know. we've really seen an evolution in the way. The government writ large is approaching the the ransomware and cyber hacking problems together. And i think from the white house perspective right now but they are trying to do a little bit of the same thing that both senators were doing there and talk about this as a problem. That is You know larger than one country and An and one individual national security relationship between the united states and russia while at the same time making very clear that president biden plans to raise Ransomware specifically and other kinds of of cyber criminal activity that is housed in russia with hooton. When they meet in geneva what they have not said is exactly how threatening the president plans to be or whether he will walk into that meeting saying we are going to do x y and z. If you don't cut this out in a launch. And i know you were at the hoover institution. You've got a lot of people you walk the halls with that. It's been a lot of time in the defense department and in the state department and understand these issues here. Is there an effective tool against putin right now. In our in our toolbox that number one wouldn't punish russian citizens would actually could curtail putin's behavior. Yeah i think it's very difficult to draw that distinction. I do think there's a few factors your first of all we can go after some of the infrastructure that facilitates This criminal activity in russia. And that would be targeted. That's something that our cyber command is capable of now. Obviously that runs into some international issues as it violated national norms existing international rules. We'd have to get into that. But fundamentally we have the capacity to disrupt some of this behavior. I think on putin it is important for us to continue to send a strong signal by the way the sanctions that were put in place by this administration and the previous administration. Those are working. They are starting to take a bite of long term economic growth in russia. So that's the right course. We have to continue that regime. That sanctions regime is very important. But i do think it's important for the president as well to send a very strong signal to putin that to the extent that he understands the security is going on which i think he certainly does. The united states will not tolerate it and will continue to put pressure on the russian economy up to and including additional sanctions on the central bank as well as on elements of putin's government. Kimberly this feels like what are these here. We have this national security challenge. That's one of these challenges that actually impacts our data suddenly is starting to impact day to day lives. And equated it if you live in a city and there's a crimewave you go to the mayor and the police commissioner. You're like you do something about this. And that sort of was my feeling like ok. Guys do something about this but i get a sense that everybody is looking for the handcuffs. Not the solution. I think that is right. And i think we are here in part because of that tension that you talked about with both senators before this idea that holding companies not just companies that provide essential services and goods to america a private companies who are in charge of parts of critical infrastructure This idea that we don't want to force them to do too much because that could hurt business. With great power comes great responsibility and there needs to be a requirement that companies shore up their cybersecurity and the government needs to give them both help but also impose requirements on them in order to do that while shoring up the federal government. You can do both at the same time we see. How critical that need is chris. I know you've been doing some reporting on this What does what does it affect response. Look like from the united states against the russians. Well first of all we have to play offensive defense and the government's role was offense because only a government. Our government under our system is allowed to counterattack to take any kind of forceful action against moscow. And it's been it's ransomware allies in this case but here at home it's going to be a lot like covert are kobe response. We have to use private public and private and clearly what we have to do as we did. After nine eleven which was to build a good defense system we upgraded our air traffic control systems after nine eleven and keep track of airplanes. That might be hijacked. We window anybody off course. In this case we have that business work together to put the dots on the screen like an air traffic controller screen. Where is their people. Ransomware people trying to get at our our companies where they tried to hold us up. You got to report it in real time in many ways. That's like a police case. We've got a kidnapping and progress and you have to know when it's happening when it's happening and you have to go to the police so i think it's a it's a combination of a warning the russians but you know i keep looking at that guy putin chuck and i look them in the eyes when you put up. Show picture them and he says nonsense. And i say we can't read that guy like we read normal human beings. This guy is a kgb officer. He and by grew up in the cold war. They know what this game's about interesting other forces like the russians just use countries wars of national liberation. Where they're giving them all the guns to fight us. We're distracted by them whether they're pretending a little bit. I look at that size of putin. And when i look into his eyes i see the cold war coming back as a cyber war and garin. It comes back to what posture do. They want. americans to view. Joe biden at a as having when confronts putin i mean do they wanna see be seen as aggressively confronting putin and do they have an idea what that looks like. Well the answer to the first is yes. They do want They the the white house does want to position. The president For a a pretty forceful interaction with putin or they wouldn't be having the summit now th th this was. This was a choice and and biden invited putin to do it so i mean they. He is saying very affirmatively here that he wants to talk to putin about a range of of things which are in almost all cases problems from In the us view So going to be a pleasant meeting. I think but you know the the the question very specifically on on cyber is a really difficult one because these are not russian government agents there are people who live in russia and our on to a degree under russian protection. Well i remember safe. Harbors and afghanistan yemen. All of those things back right after nine. Eleven wonder if we're going to hear hearing conversations like that In the next few weeks and months. I'm gonna pause right.

This is really a serious when it hits it hits people at home and i think this is one of those things it feels like a crimewave and you guys are supposed to keep us safe right. You're our elected officials. You guys got to keep us safe. So i guess i wanna push back on this idea that you can't hold business to a standard that the government can't meet. Well why can't everybody being mandated to meet the standard. I understand what you're saying about the government but the two thousand twelve cybersecurity bill. One of the reasons that didn't pass is because there was this debate. You were asking too much of private private sector. That was one of the reasons. You are not ready to support it then. Shouldn't we be asking american business to do more. I don't remember the twenty twelve cybersecurity. Bill i do remember out that same time senator carper and i were actually leading the effort to try to have reporting as part of the requirement And you know there are a lot of pushback. Nobody wanted to report that they had been hacked That was a fight. We've been having now for almost a decade And the only way you can begin to get on top of this is to know how pervasive the problem is. Try to develop a pattern This crypto currency Not not. Allow that to be just in behind the scenes in the entire system. We have a lot of cash requirements in our country. But we haven't figured out in the country or in the world and how to trace crypto currency so one fairly easy to do people almost always pay the ransom. They're very few consequences and you can't trace the the ransom where the ransom payment of choice now and we've got to do a better job here. Vladimir putin scoffed at the charges that somehow he was behind these attacks and then he went on to say something else over the weekend that was quite disturbing. He essentially praised the january six insurrectionist or seem to say that it was nothing but a political dispute. Considering that putin is now picking up on this as a way to divide this nation does. Does that make you reconsider your opposition to january six commission. Because i i know your argument against it right now you think. There's some bipartisan action. Happening i get that but you know we need as credible as of a review as we can to get on the same page as a country with facts. Don't you see the january six is doing. The commission is doing. You know my my my point from not just last month but from the very moment this Commission idea came up. I never said you know. I'd be for it. If it was more bipartisan. It was very non by partisan in the first proposed line ever said that what i said was. I think we know what we need to do here. And a commission in my view An immediate commission would slow us up in say well. We need to wait until we know all the facts. We need to wait for the commission. We will come out with a bipartisan to committee. Report Next week the rules committee. That i was the chairman of now. The ranking member. Senator are an eye on that committee. Senator portman and senator repeaters on the other committee. We're gonna have a pretty extensive report on what happened over. One hundred page report With a significant number of recommendations in my view all of which could be put in place immediately And my sense was more important to act and get into what we know we need to do than to get In a position where we start waiting for a commission To come forth with the report that we think are going to be happy. I think it'd be really pleased with the report you see and we'll see where we need to go next after that reports out. Well i wanna talk but i. I don't know if you report is going to deal with. The root causes right root causes. You have the leader of your party and whether you whether everybody wants to acknowledge the former president is the leader of the republican party right now or not. He seems to be the the biggest Biggest fish in this conned. Now he's at as chief of staff was pushing the idea that used military satellites to somehow rigged the election and he keeps doing this in did it last night. In north carolina you're part of this group of republicans that has stated that you don't believe in that nonsense but you don't you don't really push back at the president for spreading these falsehoods. So much are you not do. Do you feel you're not doing enough. I mean one in four people in your party believe this delusional things. Are you concerned about this well. Unconcerned were losing faith in the election system. I do think it's important. Have a bipartisan belief. That the election system Does what it's supposed to do that. The results that are the results of election. Day or what absolutely happened in. I served for eight years. The chief election official in my state. I was pleased to see a senator mansion. Have the same view that we need to move forward on election reforms in a bipartisan way. i look forward to being a part of that. We'll see what happens with the john. Lewis voting rights act and other issues. I think we can deal with and deal with in a way. That's less partisan than trying to create political advantage for either side. Do you think the president believes this stuff or is exploiting a chunk of your party into convincing them to believe it you.

Kim is the white house reporter for the washington post and she joins us now. How are you sung men. Good thanks for having me. so let's get started. Republicans escalated their attacks against deb. Haaland during confirmation hearings this week. Senator joe manchin from west virginia Finally said he would support her. But why was he hesitant. What was all the back and forth about holland so obviously for an in congresswoman deb holland The president biden nominated a really strong progressive to lead the department of the interior. As we know this is also a groundbreaking nomination the first native american to hold a cabinet position but because of her liberal views. She really did come under a lot of criticism from republicans You saw a lot of republicans. Kind of Resurface some of her old tweets that she had said about republicans and read the back to her at our confirmation hearings and she was going to. She was always going to probably come under more scrutinizing confirmation process than other That perhaps some of the other candidates but The reason why senator joe manchin particularly what his role in this and what he eventually said yesterday was so critical was that he played a key. Role in you know potentially tanking. Another obama nominee the narrative the director or the nominee to lead the office of management and budget and earlier this week. He indicated to reporters that he was undecided on deb. Hollywood for secretary of the interior. A lot of that was because her hearing hadn't been held mansion does co chair the committee that held a deb. Deb holland's confirmation hearings so it does seem he was just trying to kind of keep an open mind before she had a full airing of reviews and questions from senators from both sides of the aisle but but senator manchin did come out yesterday in full support of her so we don't expect her to see We don't expect any actual confirmation problems with a deb holler at this point near santa and on the other hand is a different story. Definitely definitely and we saw this happening a last week when again senator manchin and a little bit of a surprise statement i would say Announced he would oppose tandon for various reasons. But you know pointed to some of our more Intemperate tweets that she had sent You know in the last several years targeting republican lawmakers and that really mattered because we are divided in a fifty fifty senate. So you know even if you get all democrats onboard with the nominee If you have all republicans opposing that means you need to bring in vice president. Kamla harris to break the tie so with joe manchin saying no that means you needed at least one republican to come forward and say yes. I will vote to support near tandon but we started looking at some of the usual suspects for republican senators who may cross the island support her. Such as mitt romney of utah and senator susan collins of maine. They both said earlier. This week that That they would not vote to confirm a narrow tandon. We are all watching. Senator lisa murkowski a potential republican of alaska but we are also watching potential Another democratic senator who may have issues with near tana's domination that's cureton cinema a democrat from arizona. She's been very coy about whether she would support her. Not and democratic leaders aren't even sure where she's thinking so for those reasons. A pair of key committee votes on near tandon were pulled yesterday which is never a good sign for nomination. Tom vilsek secretary of agriculture has already been approved. But what's interesting here is you know. Is that bernie. Sanders actually joined six republicans in voting against him. What do we know about bernie. Sanders is decision to do that. It was a really interesting move. I mean obviously we saw secretary. Bill sacks serve the same role for eight years under the obama administration and he sailed through his confirmation process back in january of two thousand nine. I actually did talk to senator sanders directly about this after the vote and he says look. I have no problem with tom. You know. I think that he will. I think that he will Do a good job at but he wanted someone who would be more aggressive in supporting family. Farm kind of farms that are in vermont and also Be it'd be a little bit more aggressive and taking on big corporate agriculture entities and. That was kind of a senator. Sanders is is a main objection to of those back a nominee. We know that We've got many more cabinet positions to be filled The president trump's Impeachment hearing did take up some time. But we're back on track now. Right i mean. How long do we expect the rest of this to take. We are definitely a back on track. I did a tally earlier this week. Before this kind of a confirmation blitz began and at this point You know biden earlier this week. As as of monday president biden had had. I believe seven cabinet nominees confirmed which was slower in pace in terms of his two immediate predecessors at this point in their presidencies barack obama had a dozen cabinet officials in place. President trump had about nine and place. But you're right. A lot of that was delayed by the impeachment trial and was also delayed partly because because of the the unusual dynamic of the senate that it just took some time for committees to get organized figure out who is chairman how the powers were going to be divided between the two parties and just get them up and running but we have had a stream of a steady stream of confirmation. This week we had linda. Thomas greenfield as the ambassador to the united nations. Obviously we talked about secretary. Tom bill sack and a were on the verge of confirming jennifer granholm to secretary of energy this week. So we're right back on track for the most part. It'll be a couple more weeks before everyone else's confirmed but they seem to be back on pace sung men. Kim is white house reporter for the washington post. Thanks so much.
