Full Episode
Republicans did not see this coming. Democrats led by AOC were on fire cross-examining these MAGA Republican witnesses at hearings yesterday. Obviously, I showed you the explosive hearing yesterday involving Kash Patel in the Senate. Let me show you what went down in the House of Representatives yesterday.
before the house energy committee let me show you what aoc's cross-exam of a guy named jeffrey novak the acting general counsel and principal deputy general counsel of the epa looked like aoc was just spitting the facts she was saying do you know how many jobs have been lost due to Donald Trump's closure of clean energy projects in the first half of this year alone?
You know how many jobs he's costing the United States? Watch AOC go to work, play this clip.
Do you know how many jobs have been threatened or lost due to the Trump administration's closures of clean energy projects in the last six months or so, the first half of this year?
I'm not aware of any such analysis.
91,000. Trump administration and Department of Energy policies have cost Americans 91,000 jobs nationwide in rollbacks on efficiency. And, you know, these large numbers are statistics. They're hard to, I think, people to understand when they show up on a white paper. But
In Colorado's eighth district, Amprius Technologies canceled plans to construct a $190 million battery plant in Brighton, Colorado. In that same district actually, another company, VSK Energy, canceled plans due to the Trump administration, canceled their plans to build solar panels. And they scratched a $250 million investment and up to 900 jobs in that same district.
In Georgia 12, an EV plant was canceled due to the Trump administration and DOE's freezing of the EV charging program. Registered Georgia has a population of 157 people. They lost out on 166 jobs. More jobs, they lost more jobs than they have people in that town because of the cancellation and war on renewable energy and clean energy here.
In that same district, a copper foil manufacturing plant went bankrupt as a result of these rollbacks. And Augusta, Georgia lost out on 350 jobs. And I mean, the list goes on. In South Carolina, 250 jobs when a construction of an EV plant in Florence was halted due to DOE's freezing of funds. I mean, we could go on. In Michigan 10th, 167 jobs were lost after $50 million worth of investment.
