The Inflation Reduction Act's $40 billion for environmental justice through the EPA warrants scrutiny. My staff investigated and found the EPA granted $50 million to the Climate Justice Alliance in December. Their website depicts a bulldozer breaching a fence during the Hamas attack on Israel, alongside the slogan "decolonize Palestine." Further research reveals their affiliation with groups advocating defunding the police and military, and holding anti-American, anti-Israel, and antisemitic views.
This raises concerns about how taxpayer money is being used. Is it truly funding environmental cleanup, or is it supporting radical protests? The lack of an EPA inspector general to oversee this funding is alarming. The Biden administration's apparent disregard for this is troubling, and we, on the Environment and Public Works Committee, will continue to investigate.
Speaker 0: Well, I wanted to bring to everybody's attention, something that doesn't get much attention, and you've heard the term follow the money. So I looked up where did follow the money I thought it was from a Tom Cruise movie, but it wasn't. It was from Watergate. And follow the money is what they did in Watergate, and and we saw what happened. So my young staffer, who's very bright, and I see him over there, Adam Pack, followed the money.
And the money is from the so called inflation reduction act. So in the name of green and environmental justice, there's over $40,000,000,000 that are gonna be granted out through the EPA. So with this great research that was done, what was discovered that in December, the EPA granted $50,000,000 to an organization called Climate Justice Alliance. So we went to the website of plus of Climate Justice Alliance. This is what we found on the website, that our taxpayer dollars are going to organizations such as this.
This, at the bottom, is a picture of the bulldozer that went through the fence when Hamas attacked Israel in on October. They have a rendering on their website. It says decolonize Palestine, and it has a picture of that same bulldozer going through that fence. If you dig deeper, they wanna defund the police, defund the military, either them or their affiliates want to want to have very radical, drastic, initiatives that I think are anti American. And they're certainly anti Israel and anti Semitic.
So the Biden administration doesn't seem to care. $50,000,000 in December. Who knows how much more in the future and other like groups because there are other associated groups with this group. There's no inspector general for EPA to follow the money because they don't care. Because all they care about is the mission, the climate mission, no matter what the radical ideas that are associated with the groups.
So then you could ask yourself, is this group really going to be funding climate you know, cleaning up the water and cleaning up the soil and cleaning up the air? Or are they gonna be funding things like the protests they had in Hart just several weeks ago where several of them were arrested? So follow the money. We're gonna be doing that in the environment and public works committee. That's where the derivation of this was.
And I I find it rather startling to me that the EPA is not doing and the administration are not doing any better research as to where our American taxpayer dollars are going.
