Biden proposal would let conservationists lease public land much as drillers and ranchers do
"The Biden administration is proposing that conservationists be allowed to lease public land.

It's happened before on a limited basis, but there has been no dedicated program for it. The idea is stirring debate over the best use of millions of acres of taxpayer owned property in the west, some Republican lawmakers attacked the idea as a backdoor way to shut out mining energy and agricultural interests. Senator John barrasso, a Wyoming Republican, attacked the proposed rule as making non

It was that serious of a fall. He has been in some sort of a rehab center for people who have suffered significant issues, strokes, for example. And according to the spectator, a spectator rather multiple sources confirm senator John barrasso of North Dakota, John cornyn of Texas and John thune of South Dakota, actively reaching out to fellow Republican senators to get ready for a leadership vote.

"Up with is yet another gimmick, another band aid. Is that word again? And something they know is dead on arrival up here in Congress. Which apparently everyone agrees with, I look, things could change, I guess, senator John barrasso had a bit more poetry to spend. Joe Biden, the president of painfully high prices is throwing another desperate Hail Mary pass. It's the so called gas tax holiday. The holiday the American people need is a holiday from Joe Biden's terrible energy policies. My God, Jeannie, did he just make it worse? The president was supposed to give people something good to talk about. He was. And this again is the fear. And I think this is what we've seen with the Biden presidency. He hasn't been able to show the American public who he is in part because the constituency he ran on was trying to stitch together these progressives and these moderates, and I don't think he's gotten to express who he really is. And again, if he's committed to renewables, if he's committed to a long-term solution, it may not immediately bring down gas prices, but at least it would be an authentic version if that is what it is of who he is and who the administration is. This is a losing proposition that, you know, my question has been why take the time in the days to think about this, he comes on board and says this today by my count we have no more congressmen or women supporting it than we did certainly not Manchin. And by the way, no more states saying they would go along with it at this point other than the 19. And if you don't get the states, the consumers don't feel what's really supposed to be felt here. So I'm not sure why they took the time if they didn't bring people along today he dumps this and we don't see more support for it in Congress or the states. The strike you is just a strange decision, a Rick or is the point just to get the sound cut on the air. President has given you a wants at least a gas tax holiday as opposed to spending time whipping votes, trying to get a coalition together here. Sure, you could make the argument that he's just trying to put Congress on the defense, right? Oh, I wanted to give you those gas tax holiday, but the problem is half of those are his guys. I mean, half of those are Democrats. And what are they going to say about this? I mean, you heard Joe Manchin is just a gimmick. This is a joke. It's not going to happen, then on arrival. I mean, but he's putting his own party who's on the ballot. He's not on the ballot in 6 months. His party is, and his party's got to go and explain why this administration is doing much to alleviate their pain at the pump. And so I really think it's a mistake. I mean, he also got caught today in a sort of an effort to try and pick on the oil industry again. The CEO of Chevron sent a letter out saying, hey, quit picking on his skin. You realize how sensitive they are. It's all these permits to drill. You should be drilling. It's not helpful in this conversation to keep bringing up things that actually aren't going to make any difference. Judy, we started this hour talking about Jay Powell today, his testimony. You had a recession to all of this, which might actually be the only way they can get rid of the inflation problem right now. And boy, I don't know what kind of a final chapter we can right here to make it more depressing, but does President Biden need to start preparing people for that or is that just not the job of the commander in chief? He has to talk up the economy when in public. Yeah, yeah, I guess he could just rely on Powell to do it for him as he did today. And you know, speaking of, you know, not much of a affinity between the two. To my mind, when Paul was asked if inflation was high, you know, in terms of the war, if this Putin price hike has any realistic, if there's any truth to that, he basically sold Joe Biden down the river saying, nope, no truth to that, I either.

"Worldwide team of editors and columnists I'm your host June grosso This week did President Biden over promise on COVID-19 I think that was one thing he probably should have emphasized is that we need to keep doing research on COVID and try to understand what the risk factors are how to prevent it how to treat it Also on the show is Ford miscalculating in the race to produce electric vehicles If you had a separate kind of forward electric stock it might trade on some fantastic multiple raise a lot of money and do its own thing What Ford has chosen to do instead is to split the two companies but not spin them off So effectively it's like an internal reorganization Plus we'll consumer spending finally start to slow amid various economic pressures Everyone was worried about their Christmas presents arriving in time for stores for the holiday It was all about the supply chain Now what we see is really this shift to a much broader concern about inflation and it's really the inflation that's hitting customers But first the Republican Party has rejected much of what Joe Biden has done since he assumed the presidency in 2021 And Republicans continue to campaign against a president struggling with his approval rating Republican John barrasso is one of many senators from across the aisle blaming the president for high gas prices For a full year Joe Biden has done everything he can possibly do to undermine American energy security and the use of American energy But Bloomberg opinion columnist Jonathan Bernstein argues that opposing the incumbent party could present unhealthy risks and could lead Republicans down a road toward forming weak policy ideas Is it sort of a knee jerk reaction that the party out of power opposes most of the moves of the party in power Well it definitely is And to some extent it's a healthy reaction Of course they're going to they're going to oppose just because they ideologically or for whatever reasons happen to have different positions but they also tend to just when something comes up where they don't have previously agreed upon positions They'll tend to take the opposite of whatever the president says And that can be very healthy because it gives us democratic alternatives And it gives the out party incentives to draft and come up with alternate solutions and sometimes the president will look about the in party We'll look at our and say oh well we better that seems like it might be popular Let's grab some of that before we give him popular So there's something at the basic level it's not bad When it becomes automatic whatever the president says we just oppose it We don't develop policy We just oppose the president That can be a problem But you can sort of see where they're coming from because if they approve of the president's policies will that make the president more popular and more likely to be reelected There's political science findings that if the out party approves of things the president does that will tend to help the president But what it mainly does is it might make the policy more popular if both parties approve of a policy the American people almost certainly will approve of it But over the long haul that kind of sort of immediate reaction to say Russian invasion of Ukraine or something like that That's going to wash out and what really is going to matter for presidential reelection or the midterms Are you going to be things like the economy and overall success policy outcomes rather than what various people say about it After all whatever the out party does they're going to disagree with the president a fair amount of time Again just because they believe in different things That's why there are different parties So does the war in Ukraine show what happens when the out party just goes out to criticize the in party Yeah you know Republicans right now are having some difficulties Because the extreme and they wound up sort of becoming Putin fans part of that had to do with Donald Trump's weird Donald Trump But some of them when Biden was concerned when Biden was sort of talking up the possibility of an invasion Republican officials were a lot of Republicans saying no it's never going to happen because they automatically were just disagreeing with the president And that can make them look bad now And the thing about politicians is they don't like looking foolish Even if it doesn't matter to them electorally they don't like going on TV and having somebody play back a clip of what they said two months ago that's the opposite of what they're saying now And that really counts for something They don't like to do that I was going to say because it seems like the electorate you know the people who vote are sort of immune to it because how many times have we seen politicians from both sides with one opinion and then they play the clips from a year ago or even less than a year ago with a totally different opinion and it doesn't seem to make a difference You know on the margin it might but of course especially these days we have strong partisan polarization in the electorate which means that most people are voting for their party And they're not going to care if somebody from their party did something silly Or did something foolish So it may not have an immediate electoral effect But that doesn't mean that parties don't dislike doing it in party politicians In terms of individual politicians they don't like doing it So the thing is to walk a fine line between the two Exactly It's totally fine to criticize the president It's totally fine to have a bias towards criticizing the president if you're a Republican now with Biden and office But do it sensibly Don't do it automatically no matter what because it could come back to bite you Thanks

Senators Urge Biden to Add More H-2B Seasonal Worker Visas
"17 Republicans just signed a letter to Joe Biden. I'm reading from breitbart dot com demanding saying we need more foreign workers. So there are 12 million Americans out of work, there's 35 to 40 million members of my generation that are underemployed. Let me say that again. They are underemployed. So you're not even looking at unemployment. Let's talk about underemployment. Now, what is underemployment? Well, it's someone that went to Wichita state university, and they got a degree in Central American migratory bird studies. And they're working as a barista or they're working as some sort of social media manager, but they are clearly underemployed. But don't worry, Senate Republicans are on the job. Senate Republicans believe that while Biden is trying to bring more people into the country, they want to help them do that. Senators asked Biden to speed up the process, so employers could get more foreign workers into blue collar American jobs. So while we have inflation and while things are more expensive, they want to bring in more foreign workers so that you could depress wages. So prices are going up, so let's try to get our own carpenters and plumbers disenfranchised from ever being able to have meaningful work. Why are they doing this? Well, the 17 Republicans who signed the letter, and I respect some of these people, and I philosophically see where Rand Paul is coming from on this. I totally disagree with him. He's more libertarian when it comes to immigration. I am not. But some of these other people, Kevin Kramer, Mike rounds Lindsey Graham, James rish, Lisa Murkowski, Roy blunt, Cynthia lummis, John cornyn, Mike crapo, John thune, Susan Collins pat toomey, roger wicker, Jerry Moran, Rand Paul, who I'm going to exempt Rand Paul because he's been so amazing on Fauci and honestly, he's a friend of mine, and he's just been awesome on many other things. John barrasso and Tim Scott, but they sign it alongside 17 Democrats. And it says, quote, The White House and congressional Democrats, that's a separate quote. This is from RJ hauman from the federation for American immigration reform, saying quote, Republicans say they're great on the illegal front due to the border crisis, but why not also oppose programs that a rife with abuse displace American workers and depressed wages, of course they do.

Tracy Stone, Manning is Montana's former top environmental regulator. Her confirmation is expected to go before a Senate committee for an initial vote this week. Here's NPR's Kirk Siegler. The president's nominee to lead the federal Bureau of Land Management. Tracy Stone, Manning has a reputation here in the West as a moderate and bipartisan deal maker on contentious public lands battles. Republicans today, though, are focused on a narrow slice of her past in the 19 eighties as a grad student in Missoula at the height of the so called timber wars over rampant clearcut logging. Back then Stone Manning sent a letter on behalf of Earth first warning the government that trees at a planned federal timber sale had been sabotaged. Putting loggers lives in danger. Here's Alaska Republican Dan Sullivan, speaking on the Senate floor tree spiking These were the kind of tactics the Tracy Stone Manning. Once conspired him. Does that disturb you? America? Wyoming Republican John Barrasso, who's on the committee that is expected to initially vote on her nomination, says she collaborated with eco terrorists. It is my belief that she is clearly disqualified to be the director of the Bureau of Land Management, which manages almost 65 million. Acres of federal forests, but stone Manning later testified against the tree spikers in federal court, saying she sent the letter because she didn't want anyone to get hurt. She's not currently giving interviews, but her supporters are rallying on her behalf, saying these GOP objections came up long before in Montana and were put to rest. Montana Senator Jon Tester, who stone Manning once worked for also sits on the committee. And I think the crap and I mean it is crap that they're standing around on her is just character assassination, Democrats are accusing Republicans of false equivalence, they mostly sat silent over President Trump's Bureau nominee who once sympathized with ranchers leading armed standoffs against federal agents. William Perry. Pendley had also called for selling off US public lands. But look, I mean, you can take a look at some of the Nam's went through for President Trump. They're not after competency there just after to rip people apart Stone. Manning's nomination is expected to squeak through the Senate. One unknown, though, remains committee member Joe Manchin, who.

That was after former President Trump revived the long delayed project that would have delivered some 35 million gallons of crude oil per day to the U.

By killing the project, President Biden has killed thousands of good paying American jobs. The White House has said it is focused on creating new green jobs. Now the pipeline was first announced back in 2008 and major construction delays caused the price tag just soared to about $9 billion.

Trump denied the allegation called Carol a liar. And she filed defamation suit against him. The Trump era Justice department intervened in the suit, and the Biden Justice Department signaled it will continue that policy. Democratic progressives are livid about this. But Attorney General Garland says that's the law. Sometimes it means that we have to make a decision about the law. That we would never have made and that we strongly disagree with as a matter of policy. It is that, like cases be treated alike.

Ecuadorian reports from Fresno. The history being made by Deb Holland's nomination was hailed by all on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, even those who are skeptical of her policy views The special nature of the moment was evident as the New Mexico congresswoman introduced herself to the committee and the nation. I spent summers in the Sita, or small village on Laguna Pueblo, the location of my grandparent's traditional home. It was there that I learned about my culture from my grandmother by watching her cook and by participating in traditional feast days and ceremonies, it was in the cornfields with my grandfather, where I learned the importance of water. And protecting our resource is where I gained a deep respect for the Earth Committee chair, Joe Manchin outlined the immensity of the task. The Interior Department manages 500 million acres of land. 1/5 of the entire country. The 70,000 employees oversee Parks Monuments Wildlife refuge because dams, reservoirs and canals.

Oil production in federal lands and oil pipelines, especially the Dakota access pipeline. By signing an executive order to ban all new oil coal gas leases on federal lands.
