Summary
EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin joins Dean Cain in Washington, D.C. for a no-holds-barred debrief on the Trump EPA's first year. Zeldin details how his team saved American taxpayers $30 billion from an agency with a $10 billion annual budget, exposed billions in grants funneled through politically connected NGOs, and finalized the largest single act of deregulation in United States history: a $1.3 trillion rescission of the 2009 Endangerment Finding and all associated vehicle emission standards. He covers the Nessie pipeline, the fight to save coal plants, the Supreme Court decisions reshaping federal power, and the National Energy Dominance Council's cross-agency mission.
