The Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency does not have the authority to protect the environment. So what is their job now?
Starting point is 00:01:14 It's going to look at the environment and be like, oh shit! All right, that was a good day at work. You guys want to get some drinks? And by the way, I don't know if it's the same for you. It's always weird to me how the news in America frames some of these stories. You know, like, this is a defeat for the Biden administration. It is a defeat for human life. There's nothing to do with Biden.
Starting point is 00:01:42 Do you realize if we don't get under control, climate change is going to wipe us off the planet. And still these news anchors are going to be underwater like, will the rising sea levels hurt the Democrats or help the Republicans and the Mitterlons? And by the way, just so you understand, this ruling might not just be about the carbon emissions. A lot of experts believe the logic of today's ruling makes it harder for the government to regulate anything unless Congress specifically passes a law to do it. Because you see right now a lot of regulations are made by agencies like like the FDA they will handle like food, you know the CDC with public health, the BRB with ignoring text messages and I know these
Starting point is 00:02:24 agencies aren't perfect, don't get me wrong. But could you imagine if Congress had to approve like vaccines? Imagine if you had to wait for them.

And by the way people agree on that from across the political spectrum. You know Rachel Maddow is like this is so radical and Sean Hanity is like this is. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, th from th from thi, th from th from thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the political spectrum. You know, Rachel Maddow is like, this is so radical, and Sean Hannity is like, this is so radical! Woo! And they're also imposing their power on a country that for most part, for the most part, isn't on board with any of it, which is why many liberals are now calling for some major reforms, like adding more seats to the court, or imposing term limits, or setting up a trap for Brett Kavanaugh.
