We're celebrating the one-year anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act, a groundbreaking legislation that is the largest investment in clean energy and climate action in US history. Some economists argue that the decrease in inflation is not directly linked to the IRA, and the estimated cost of the climate investments has risen to at least $1.4 trillion. Despite some confusion, the bill has already shown positive effects, with reduced healthcare costs through utility rebates and consumer tax credits. President Biden's administration has prioritized lowering healthcare costs, including prescription drug costs, which are a major concern for families. However, there are concerns that the bill does not specifically address everyday expenses like groceries and gas.

We've stopped the $8,000,000 in taxpayer subsidies for Politico subscriptions. The team is working to cancel the payments immediately. Large organizations inevitably miss things. Claims of widespread waste and abuse haven't been substantiated with evidence. We haven't seen proof of the alleged misuse of funds.

We're here to ensure Americans don't wake up needing to boil their water because the EPA's workforce was removed. We provide oversight, especially after reports of EPA employees facing job insecurity. These individuals are already undermining the system. Elon Musk is breaking the law; a federal court ruled against firing people with deferred payments lacking federal authority. We're protecting federal workers, clean air, water, and the environment. This isn't the time to pause climate action. We lost four years and must recover lost ground, so these critical programs must stay intact. Elon Musk threatens essential agencies. Unless the public demands environmental protection, we're here to warn that these changes are coming.

Joe Biden's energy policies are causing high inflation and hitting American families hard. He reversed actions that achieved energy independence and canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline. By reentering the Paris climate accord and blocking new oil, gas, and coal production, he is raising energy costs and hurting industries like food, shipping, and manufacturing. China benefits from these high energy prices, driving our heavy industry overseas. To become an advanced manufacturing nation, we need low-cost energy. Biden's energy agenda aligns with China's, as they sign global climate deals and break them. When I'm back in the White House, I'll bring back a pro-American energy policy, eliminating unnecessary regulations and approving energy projects quickly. This will create jobs, restore hope, and make America great again.

The Loan Program Office supplied a little over $40 billion in its fifteen years. Almost $100 billion was then supplied in the 76 days between the election loss and President Trump's inauguration. The speaker questions why, if these were beneficial ideas, they weren't implemented in the two and a half years after the Inflation Reduction Act. According to the speaker, the previous administration changed terms and loan covenants, attempting to complicate unwinding their actions. The speaker asserts this is not a responsible way to handle taxpayer money or advance the energy system. They state that they inherited a mess, but it is fixable with an aggressive team. They claim American energy prices are down and investments to bring jobs back are up, but acknowledge the need for cleanup.

The speaker denies coordinating with President Trump or his campaign while authoring the EPA chapter on Project 2025, stating it's misleading to suggest otherwise. They assert the Heritage Foundation's work on conservative policies predates Trump, with the "Mandate for Leadership" series existing since 1981. The speaker claims Vice President Kamala Harris avoided answering if Americans are better off economically than four years ago, arguing most Americans are struggling due to the Biden-Harris administration's energy policies. They cite rising costs of gas, electricity, and groceries as evidence of financial hardship caused by policies like restricting resource development and demonizing coal, oil, and natural gas. The speaker references an Institute of Energy Research report that claims over 250 actions by the Biden-Harris administration have hindered American energy production, including halting the Keystone XL Pipeline, limiting oil and gas permits, and impeding critical mineral access, increasing dependence on China. They state these actions have increased gas and electricity prices.

Speaker argues that under Governor Pritzker and the Democratic super majority, Illinois has lost 6,000 megawatts of reliable 24-hour power, which they equate to three nuclear plants or enough power for a million homes. They claim this leads to $8,000,000,000 in rate increases on the people of Illinois. They question the timing of a bill, saying a study on a bill didn’t exist when the study was done and that the bill wasn’t filed until Tuesday, asking who believes the administration. They state that people believe their power bill because they get it every month, and accuse the administration of “taking the caps off” and inviting higher costs. They present electricity price data: in 2019 electricity was 8.6¢ per kilowatt-hour, while in the summer of this year it was 23¢ per kilowatt-hour, describing it as triple. They attribute this rise to the leadership of Governor Pritzker and the Democratic super majority, who they say “keep telling us, oh, we’re here to help, little guy. We care. We care about you little guy. We’re gonna make sure your power bills go down.” They reference a green line from 2021 to 2025 showing the rise and increase in costs. They compare Illinois to neighboring states: Illinois residential at 18.09¢ per kilowatt-hour, Kentucky at 13.4¢, and note Illinois is higher than Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri. They say Illinois was right there with Wisconsin, but after this passes it will be a trifecta, resulting in Illinois having the highest energy cost in the entire Midwest. They conclude by reiterating the $8,000,000,000 rate increase on Illinois residents and question how this demonstrates care, stating that this is exactly why nobody believes anybody anymore.

The EPA headquarters in DC houses a museum, built and curated by the Biden administration for $4 million, dedicated to environmental justice and climate change. Its annual operating cost is $600,000. The museum's timeline omits any mention of President Trump's first administration. From May 2024 through the previous month, the museum had 1,909 public visitors, costing taxpayers $315 per visitor. Due to low public attendance and high operating costs, the museum will be shut down. This decision aims to be an exceptional steward of taxpayer dollars. The agency will focus on providing cleaner, healthier, and safer land, air, and water without spending over half a million dollars on a museum presenting an ideologically slanted story of the EPA. The speaker claims that under President Trump, the practice of burning tax dollars on pet projects will end.

- Indianapolis residents organized to stop Google's proposed $1,000,000,000 AI data center on a 500-acre site, which reportedly would have used 1,000,000 gallons of water per day. Google withdrew its petition to build, preventing a city council vote. Community members described the victory as “we beat Google,” while warning the fight isn’t over and noting tactics used by a secretive tech company in Saint Charles, Missouri. Residents voiced fears about water supply, contamination, and rising electricity costs, with one farmer stressing the risk to livelihoods if water is unavailable. - The victory was celebrated as a win for community power, though participants cautioned that Google could reappear with a new plan in a few months. The broader context included concerns that big tech seeks data centers in communities, potentially impacting water and energy prices, and the possibility of revisiting projects once opposition fades. - An NPR overview on America’s AI industry highlighted concerns about data centers depleting local water supplies for cooling, driving up electricity bills, and worsening climate change if powered by fossil fuels. The IEA warns climate pollution from power plants serving data centers could more than double by 2035. In the Great Lakes region, water utilities, industry, and power plants draw from a shared resource; questions arise about how much more water the lakes can provide for data centers and associated power needs. - Examples cited include Georgia where residents reported drinking-water problems after a nearby data center was built; Arizona cities restricting water deliveries to high-demand facilities. The Data Center Coalition notes efforts to reduce water use through evaporative cooling versus closed-loop systems; a Google data center in Georgia reportedly uses treated wastewater for cooling and returns it to the Chattahoochee River. There is a push toward waterless cooling, with a balancing act described: more electricity to cool means less water, and vice versa. - Rising electricity bills are a major concern as data centers increase power demand. A UCS analysis found that in 2024, homes and businesses in several states faced $4.3 billion in additional costs from transmission projects needed to deliver power to data centers. The dialogue includes questioning why centers aren’t built along coastlines where desalination could be used at the companies’ own expense, arguing inland siting imposes greater resource strain on residents. - Financial concerns extend to tax incentives for data centers. GoodJobsFirst.org reports that at least 10 states lose more than $100,000,000 annually in tax revenue to data centers; Texas revised its cost projection for 2025 from $130,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 within 23 months. The group calls for canceling data center tax exemption programs, capping exemptions, pausing programs, and robust public disclosure. - The narrative concludes with a call to resist placing data centers in established communities, urging organized action and advocating for desalination and energy infrastructure funded by the data centers themselves. A personal anecdote about Rick Hill’s cancer recovery via Laotryl B17 and enzyme therapies is tied to a promotional plug: rncstore.com/pages/ricksbundle, discount code pulse for 10% off, promoting Laotryl B17 and related detox/purity kits.

The state of Louisiana has rolled out the red carpet for Meta and this data center. It's one of the biggest data centers on the planet. The site could fit 173 superdomes. It'll use enough electricity to power 2,000,000 homes. And Meta is only sharing in the costs for the first fifteen years of its operation. The majority of the details are being kept secret, meaning this very well could fuel higher electric bills for decades to come. The fourth wave of exploitation will be in your water and will come from your wallet. This is not a good deal for Louisiana, and it's not a good deal for anyone except Entergy and Meta. The first thing we can do is build understanding.

It's been a phenomenal first 30 days serving the American people. We've been winning, winning, winning! DEI is dead at HUD, the VA, and the EPA. We've killed it at the Department of Energy too, bringing meritocracy back. We took down Biden's equal access rule to restore biological truth at HUD-funded facilities. We're adding energy, not subtracting it like the last administration. We hit the ground running at the VA, focusing on our mission to take care of our veterans, reorganizing to put them first. In California, we're completing our hazardous material response. We've also identified $260,000,000 in savings. We're going to be smart with your tax dollars and make you proud. We're not going to stop winning.

Having served as an FCC commissioner for over 7 years, the speaker has focused on ensuring Americans have next-generation connectivity, visiting communities and seeing firsthand the challenges ahead. A bipartisan consensus emerged to provide support to end the digital divide, resulting in a $42 billion initiative known as BEED. After 1039 days since the program was enacted, led by Vice President Harris, no one has been connected to the internet. No infrastructure builds will start until sometime next year at the earliest, and in many cases, not until 2026, making it the slowest moving federal broadband deployment program in recent history. The administration is advancing a wish list of progressive policy goals, including a climate change agenda, DEI requirements, price controls, preferences for government-run networks, and rules that will lead to wasteful overbuilding. The government revoked Starlink's commitment to provide internet to 640,000 homes and businesses for about $1300 per location in Federal support. The administration is now spending over $100,000 per location for internet. Absent major reforms, Vice President Harris's $42 billion program is wired to fail.

As EPA Administrator, my top priority is to protect your tax dollars from waste and abuse. A disturbing video revealed a Biden EPA appointee discussing the wasteful spending of billions of tax dollars, likening it to throwing "gold bars" (tax dollars) off the Titanic. My team discovered that roughly $20 billion was parked at an outside financial institution by the Biden EPA, a scheme designed to quickly obligate funds with reduced oversight. This money was awarded to just eight entities, who then distributed it to NGOs with less transparency. Almost $7 billion went to one entity, raising questions about fund allocation and potential conflicts of interest. While there's no suspicion of wrongdoing by the bank, the agreement must be terminated, and the funds returned to the EPA. We'll review all expenditures, refer the matter to the inspector general, and work with the Justice Department to ensure accountability.

As a former FCC commissioner and general counsel, the speaker focused on ensuring Americans have next-generation connectivity, visiting communities and seeing the opportunities high-speed connections bring. A bipartisan consensus emerged, resulting in the $42 billion BEAD initiative. However, the speaker claims that BEAD has gone off the rails; after 1,039 days, not one person has been connected to the Internet, and no infrastructure builds will start until next year at the earliest, or even 2026 in many cases. The speaker asserts that this makes the initiative the slowest-moving federal broadband deployment program in recent history. The speaker claims that instead of connecting Americans, the administration is advancing a wish list of progressive policy goals, including a climate change agenda, DEI requirements, price controls, preferences for government-run networks, and rules that will lead to wasteful overbuilding. The speaker also claims that the administration revoked an FCC commitment from Starlink to provide internet to 640,000 homes and businesses and is now spending over $100,000 per location for internet through its own initiatives. The speaker concludes that, absent major reforms, the $42 billion program is wired to fail.

Speaker describes receiving their first power bill under the new rules in which I pay for AI to plug in to our power grid. PSE and G did absolutely warn me that this would happen, but not that we’re funding AI. The bill more than doubled—from about $235 to $666.39—in Northern New Jersey, even though usage is on par with last year. They ask if the neighborhood tapped in or if the company allowed AI to tap in. As pissed as they are, they’re documenting the moment they become an extreme cheapskate. They reference a video of parents making kids pedal to power a TV and wonder if a bicycle setup could power their house. They’ve even checked whether wind turbines are legal in their neighborhood. "Just know every time you use AI, you're jacking up your own power bill."

We had a productive discussion about USAID, an issue I've focused on for years in the Senate. USAID has consistently obstructed my congressional oversight efforts. I shared examples of waste within the organization during a recent conversation on X Spaces with Elon. It's crucial that we scrutinize every dollar spent there, and I'm pleased to see a shift in oversight to the State Department.

Ranking member Raskin is creating a "boogeyman" that isn't there. The speaker authored the EPA chapter on project 2020 5, but did not work with President Trump or his campaign. The speaker is not vying for a position in the next administration and now lives in Mississippi. The leading candidate is running away from policy actions that make Americans' lives difficult. Vice President Kamala Harris did not answer when asked if Americans are better off than they were 4 years ago. Most Americans are struggling with expensive gas, electricity, and groceries due to the Biden-Harris Administration's day 1 energy policies. Since January 2021, President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and Congressional Democrats have taken over 250 actions that make it harder to produce energy in America. Actions include stopping the Keystone XL Pipeline, issuing a moratorium on new oil and gas permits on federal lands, greenlighting Putin's Nord Stream 2 pipeline, rejoining the Paris climate agreement, blocking the Twin Metals mine, and slowing permits for LNG facilities.

I was recently shocked by a $1,200 electric bill delivery charge after installing solar panels and heat pumps, encouraged by the city of Newton to go green. Then, Newton hit me with a 40% generation charge increase. Later, I noticed a 50% delivery charge increase. These increases, coupled with bad policy decisions, have left me feeling trapped. As a retired manager of marketing for Eversource, I can confirm that green energy is the most expensive energy when you consider subsidies, capacity factors, and the need for conventional power plants. A study by the Fiscal Alliance Foundation estimates New England's green energy policies will raise costs by $815 billion through 2050. Our leaders are failing, and I'm starting to believe it's a "green new scam."

In February, Stacey Abrams called Georgia the "worst state" and accused sheriffs endorsing Brian Kemp of wanting to harm Black people. She also suggested abortion could be a solution to inflation, stating that having children is why people worry about gas and food prices. Abrams worked as senior counsel for Rewiring America. In a 2023 IRS filing, Rewiring America stated it was a startup and its only accomplishment was joining a coalition to apply for a grant from the Inflation Reduction Act's greenhouse gas reduction fund. Rewiring America joined Habitat for Humanity, United Way Worldwide, and two other organizations to form Power Forward Communities, led by Tim Mayo Populace. Power Forward Communities, with only $100 in revenue and no listed accomplishments, requested a $2 billion grant to expand access to clean energy by prioritizing housing, equity, and resilience, including heat pumps and gas stove replacements. The request raises questions about the qualifications of these new organizations to manage taxpayer money.

I'd love to have Elon Musk come to the Briefing Room, especially after his informative visit to the Oval Office yesterday. We've been incredibly transparent about Doge's work. They're actively tweeting updates and posting contract receipts on their website, showcasing how they're making our government more efficient. Before Doge, these issues were handled by unknown bureaucrats. Now, Elon Musk, is under scrutiny for bringing these issues to light, providing needed transparency. We're happy to provide the receipts, like these DEI contracts totaling millions, including one for climate change in Sri Lanka. These are the kinds of wasteful expenditures Doge is uncovering daily. Many Americans weren't even aware of things like the federal employee retirement system being processed in a mine in Pennsylvania until Elon Musk spoke up. This is fraudulent, wasteful, and an abuse of taxpayer dollars.

I worked as a meter reader for PG and E for nine and a half years before being fired for speaking out about issues with smart meters. PG and E is aware that their systems can catch fire when remotely turned back on after a customer pays their bill, yet they are covering this up. When I joined, the metering budget was $70 million for about 1,000 meter readers, but PG and E and the Public Utility Commission mislead customers about the system's cost, claiming it to be $2.2 billion or even $10 billion. Additionally, PG and E shouldn't charge extra for meter reading since it's already done at a lower cost. Notably, meter readers are the only ones conducting surveys for the gas department. Thank you.

In just under a month, the Department of Government Efficiency has already saved over $55 billion, and this is only the beginning. We're on track to eliminate trillions of dollars in waste, which will lead to significantly lower inflation and interest rates. This will also result in reduced payments on mortgages, credit cards, and car loans, and a much stronger stock market. I anticipate the stock market performing exceptionally well. Our strategy involves rapidly expanding the economy by significantly reducing the size of the federal government, and this is a crucial step we must take.

The Loan Program Office supplied a little over $40 billion in its fifteen years, then almost $100 billion in the 76 days between the election loss and President Trump's inauguration. The speaker questions why these actions weren't taken in the two and a half years after the Inflation Reduction Act passed. According to the speaker, the previous administration changed terms and loan covenants, attempting to complicate any unwinding of their actions. The speaker characterizes this as irresponsible treatment of taxpayer money and detrimental to energy system progress. The speaker states that while they inherited a mess, it is fixable. They claim their team is aggressively addressing the issues, resulting in lower American energy prices and increased investments bringing jobs back to America.

I'm uncovering fraud by showing how money isn't reaching its intended destination but is instead being diverted, which goes against what Congress intended. Uncovering fraud should be viewed positively, and it's puzzling why anyone would defend it. We're working to address waste, inefficiency, fraud, and the weaponization of agencies. A prime example is USAID, which misuses taxpayer money to promote unwanted ideologies and destabilize foreign policies. It is common sense to stop funding these things. We aim to address this issue across all agencies, ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly and effectively.
