Podcast appearances and mentions of Lee Zeldin

Lee Zeldin—Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, his proposal to repeal Biden-era EPA regulations on power plants, and President Donald Trump blocking California's ban on gas-powered vehicles. Administrator Zeldin says of the Trump-signed Congressional joint resolutions: “Even in California…a very large majority of their residents don't want to drive an electric vehicle.” He continues, “the government should not be mandating an electric vehicle for all.”

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 1: 3:05pm- Last week, Israel launched a series of preemptive strikes against Iranian nuclear development sites, ballistic missile launchers, and Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps leadership.

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Khamenei has vowed to punish Israel and the United States. 3:15pm- Lee Zeldin—Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, his proposal to repeal Biden-era EPA regulations on power plants, and President Donald Trump blocking California's ban on gas-powered vehicles.

Atlanta's WXIA-TV, 11 Alive, broke the story late last week: a Georgia woman, brain-dead since February, has been kept alive for more than 90 days because Emory Hospital lawyers advised the hospital against ending life support because of an early pregnancy. Now, her family's gripped in perpetual mourning while also awaiting the birth of what could likely be a child with immense medial woes of its own. It leaves Georgia politicians, left and right, finger-pointing. State Senator Nabila Islam-Parkes penned a letter to Attorney General Chris Carr (running for the GOP nomination for governor, as well) to answer questions and provide clarity on the state's position on such a situation. Carr, for his part, said of the draconian six-week Georgia abortion ban, put in place by his party in 2019, that “removing life support is not an action ‘with the purpose to terminate a pregnancy.'” That statement could prove interesting in the upcoming primary, but in the meanwhile, a grieving family is left without input at all. Joining me today to discuss this matter is Georgia WIN List executive director Melita Easters. ------The impacts Thomasville, Georgia residents have endured thanks to decades of air and pollution by nearby manufacturing isn't lost on Senator Jon Ossoff, who skewered Trump EPA administrator Lee Zeldin last week as to why his administration eliminated funding for a health clinic slated for that cancer-riddled community in southwest Georgia. Ossoff wasn't alone, and the ripping didn't just come from Democrats. ------Over the weekend we learned of former President Joe Biden's prostate cancer diagnosis, and WUSA-9 TV in D.C. sought input from an oncologist to give her optimistic outlook. That didn't stop the current President's son from launching into more conspiracy theories of cover-up, of course, but, by and large, even POTUS and the usually repugnant Marjorie Taylor Greene wish him well.

In this video, we dive into the EPA's deregulation plans under Lee Zeldin, exploring how they could impact Jeep Wrangler, Gladiator, and Grand Cherokee owners. Learn about the potential removal of Start-Stop incentives, consumer feedback on its inconvenience, and the future of diesel models like the 3.0 EcoDiesel. We also cover the Trump administration's push to roll back Biden-era emission standards, including the GHG Phase 3 rule for heavy-duty trucks, and what it means for costs and compliance. Plus, a bonus Jeep Gladiator update featuring the Ancel BM200 battery tester for easy 12V battery monitoring!

It's Donald Trump. We're having a lot of fun doing a good show with Charlie. Thank you very much, sir. We really appreciate that. Let's go to the PhD weight loss talk line. We'll talk to Janet in Gastonia about that big, old, beautiful bill. What's on your mind, Janet? Hey, Charlie. Hello? Wanted to know if it's true. I've been hearing a lot of, different stories claiming that the big, beautiful bill does not contain no tax on Social Security. Have you heard anything about that? I'll be honest with you. The only thing that we've heard about this bill is what the different committees have been saying. So I don't know if it's in there or not. I'm not sure. I hope they get it in there because I hate for the folks on Social Security to pay taxes again on something that they've earned way back when. Ain't that the truth? You're exactly right about that, but we'll see what happens with that bill, Janet. Appreciate your call. Well, one of the things that the Trump administration has really been working hard on is eliminating all of these ridiculous regulations from the Biden administration. When you look at the cost of all the things you have, there are regulations tied to that. I mean, just what look what they wanted to do. They wanted to do away with your gas stove. They wanted to do away with that. They wanted to do away with your gas dryer. I've never even known anybody that had a gas dryer, but the people that have talked about them have said they're wonderful. They wanted to do away with your gas water heater. They wanted to do away with natural gas altogether. Now it was pretty hypocritical, especially since there were pictures of, Nancy Pelosi and, and and and Elizabeth Warren and, Kamala Harris all standing in front of their beautiful gas ranges. But they wanted to do away away with all of that. Look at how many regulations. Look how many regulations the government has imposed on Americans. How may how much water your toilet can use. Right? Your ridiculous gas cans that they make you use now, I don't even bother with them. I just go buy me an aftermarket funnel attachment for my gas can. I put the little vent valve on there, and I'm good to go. I take that piece anytime they put a valve on a gas cap on a gas can that you have to go to the website to find out how to use, it's a bad idea. It's literally pouring liquid into a container. Now they wanted to come along and talk about it with safety issues. No. It's not. It was all about the the environment, blah blah blah. But that's where they've been primarily focused. All of these things in the Biden administration, it's all been about that's that's all these so called inflation reduction act was about. And even Joe Biden admitted that that wasn't even the real name of the bill. It was the Green New Deal. Was another regulation that they've had, maybe you've had to deal with it. It was a few weeks ago. My wife and I went up to Rhode Island to visit my mother-in-law, and we rented a car rented a car. So we're driving out of the was it Hertz? Driving out of the Hertz lot, and we come to a stop sign. And I stopped the car, and the car shuts off. And my wife says, oh, no. What happened? And I said, it's a new thing. It's a new thing, honey. So then I stepped on the gas, but a boom, car starts back up. It's that auto stop auto start thing, the start stop technology that they put into these cars. And a lot of people, not surprisingly, hate it. They can't stand it. Now you can disable it, but you can only disable it for that trip. So let's just say I don't know. Let's just say you're going to Golden Corral, get you some breakfast. You can disable it in your driveway, drive to Golden Corral. But once you get back in and you're all full as a tick and you're going back home, you gotta disable it again. People loathe it. Well, the US Environmental Protection Agency administrator Lee Zeldin said and and by the way, isn't it funny that we just completely forgot about there ...

"Make America Healthy Again," led by RFK Jr., has been creating some pushback to common pesticides and herbicides used by farmers. Lee Zeldin, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, shares his stance on the issue. He says that EPA will "follow the science" to make its rulings on the use of chemicals. Zeldin compared it to the recent fluoride study that they conducted.

Welcome to episode thirty-six of David & Stu… Unhinged! As always, we'd like to thank Clara Wang for creating the fantastic artwork for this podcast. In this episode, David and Stu cover the following:1) Lee Zeldin's mismanagement of the EPA and his plans to restate the agency's mission to further the interests of polluters.2) The bizarre antics of the parasitic migrant Elon Musk and how his polarizing behavior and dishonesty undermine any legitimate efforts to make the federal government more efficient, and Trump's demeaning of the presidency by hawking Teslas, a poorly made car, in front of the White House.3) The use of masks at protests where students and others are harassed as a means to cover the identity of the perpetrators and how New York is considering laws to prohibit such behavior.4) How the banning of DEI by Trump is being used by his acolytes to silence dissenters in the tradition of Stalin and Hitler.5) The strange case where, at a track and field competition, an athlete was hit by a baton-wielding participant, and how criminal charges are now being considered.Connect with David & Stu: Email David & Stu: davidandstuunhinged@gmail.com and share your comments, concerns, and questions.

The Ag Net News Hour hosts, Nick Papagni, the “Ag Meter” and Lorrie Boyer discussed the Yuba River Resilience Initiative, a joint project by NOAA, the state of California, and the Yuba Water Agency. This initiative fulfills a Presidential Memorandum by providing reliable irrigation water to central valley farmers while protecting fish habitat. The agreement guarantees 184,228 acre-feet of water across 43,000 acres, benefiting 16,000 acres of rice, 4,000 acres of walnuts, and 3,000 acres of prunes, with a total value of $417 million. Additionally, the hosts addressed the issue of Tijuana dumping sewage into the Pacific, affecting San Diego and causing environmental damage, with efforts led by Jim Desmond and Lee Zeldin to address this problem.   The Ag Net News Hour hosts then discussed Mexico's dumping of raw sewage and toxic chemicals into the Pacific Ocean, affecting Navy SEALs, locals, and the environment, including fish and marine life. Toxic algae is causing the death of dolphins and seals. Jim Desmond and Zeldin are addressing the issue. The Tijuana sewage treatment plant malfunctions, leading to pollution. The New World screw worm, a significant threat to livestock, is spreading despite US-funded efforts. Mexico is restricting US flights to control the worm, risking a trade ban on cattle imports. The USDA and NCBA are urging Mexico to comply with the agreement to prevent the worm's spread.   On the last segment, Nick and Lorrie covered the citrus and cherry markets, noting a strong demand for navels and lemons, with prices expected to rise. Rain in California could impact cherry yields, potentially leading to higher prices. The Trump administration's USDA reorganization plan is expected in mid-May. Finally, the hosts promoted the Citrus Specialty Crop Expo in Tampa, Florida, scheduled for August 20-21, aimed at uniting citrus growers from Florida, Georgia, and California to share best practices and address pest control challenges.

Though the hold was lifted, it was not immediately clear if permitting had resumed. 2/6 Transportation Department orders freeze of EV charging infrastructure program Memorandum - A Transportation Department memo ordered the suspension of $5 billion in federal funding, authorized by Congress under the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program, for states to build electric vehicle chargers. 2/11 SEC starts process to kill climate disclosure rule Memorandum - The acting chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission paused the government's legal defense of a rule requiring companies to identify the impact of their business on climate in regulatory findings. The rule was challenged in court by 19 Republican state attorneys general and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and Energy Secretary Chris Wright's Liberty Energy, among others. 2/14 EPA fires hundreds of staff Memorandum - The Trump administration's relentless assault on science and career expertise at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency continued today with the firing of almost 400 staff who had ‘probationary' status. 2/14 DOE issues the first LNG export authorization under new Trump administration DOE Secretary Wright issued an export authorization for the Commonwealth LNG project in Cameron Parish, Louisiana, despite a 2024 DOE report finding that unfettered LNG exports increase energy bills and climate pollution. 2/18 Trump issues order stripping independent agencies of independence EO - Trump signed an executive order stripping independent regulatory agencies, including the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of their independence, moving them to submit proposed rules and final regulations for review by the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) and granting the attorney general exclusive authority over legal interpretations of rules. The order is likely to be challenged as Congress created these agencies specifically to be insulated from White House interference. 2/19 Zeldin recommends striking endangerment finding Memorandum - After Trump's "Unleashing American Energy" executive order, EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin has told the White House he would recommend rescinding the bedrock justification defining six climate pollutants – carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride – as air pollution to be regulated by the Clean Air Act. 2/19 Trump administration moves to rescind all CEQ regulatory authority Rulemaking - The Trump administration has moved to rescind the Council on Environmental Quality's role in crafting and implementing environmental regulations, revoking all CEQ orders since 1977 that shape how federal agencies comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) which requires the government to consider and disclose environmental impacts of its actions. 2/19 Trump directs agencies to make deregulation recommendations to DOGE EO - Trump issues executive order directing agencies to work with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to make recommendations that will accelerate Trump's efforts to dismantle regulations across the federal government as part of his 10 out, 1 in policy.

The memo comes after USDA workers were ordered to scrub mentions of climate change from websites. 2/21 Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Director Placed on Administrative Leave Guidance - According to media reports, EPA administrator Lee Zeldin has put the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund (GGRF) director on administrative leave. The GGRF is a $27 billion federal financing program that addresses the climate crisis and is injecting billions of dollars in local economic development projects to lower energy prices and reduce pollution especially in the rural, urban, and Indigenous communities most impacted by climate change and frequently left behind by mainstream finance. 2/27 Hundreds fired as layoffs begin at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Guidance - On Thursday, February 27, about 800 employees at NOAA, the agency responsible for the nation's bedrock weather, climate, fisheries, and marine research, were fired in the latest round of Trump administration-led layoffs. The layoffs could jeopardize NOAA's ability to provide life-saving severe weather forecasts, long-term climate monitoring, deep-sea research and fisheries management, and other essential research and policy. 3/10 Energy secretary says climate change a worthwhile tradeoff for growth Announcement - Speaking at the CERAWeek conference, Energy Secretary Chris Wright said the Trump administration sees climate change as “a side effect of building the modern world,” and pledged to “end the Biden administration's irrational, quasi-religious policies on climate change." 3/10 Zeldin, Musk Cut $1.7B in Environmental Justice Grants Guidance - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the cancellation of 400 environmental justice-related grants, in violation of a court order barring the Trump administration from freezing "equity-based" grants and contracts. 3/11 EPA eliminates environmental justice offices, staff Memorandum - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin ordered the closure of environmental justice offices at the agency's headquarters and at all 10 regional offices and eliminate all related staff positions "immediately." The reversal comes just days after the EPA reinstated environmental justice and civil rights employees put on leave in early February. 3/12 EPA Announcement to Revise "Waters of the United States" Rule Announcement - The EPA will redefine waters of the US, or WOTUS, to comply with the US Supreme Court's 2023 ruling in Sackett v. EPA, which lifted Clean Water Act jurisdiction on many wetlands, Administrator Lee Zeldin said 3/14 Zeldin releases 31-rollback ‘hit list' Memorandum (announced, not in effect as of 4/10) - EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced plans to dismantle federal air quality and carbon pollution regulations, identifying 31 actions ranging from from soot standards and power plant pollution rules to the endangerment finding – the scientific and legal underpinning of the Clean Air Act. 3/14 EPA halts enforcement of pollution rules at energy facilities Memorandum - According to a leaked memo, the EPA's compliance office has halted enforcement of pollution regulations on energy facilities and barred consideration of environmental justice concerns. The memo states: "Enforcement and compliance assurance actions shall not shut down any stage of energy production (from exploration to distribution) or power generation absent an imminent and substantial threat to human health or an express statutory or regulatory requirement to the contrary.” 3/14 Trump revokes order encouraging renewables EO - Trump signed an executive order rescinding a Biden-era proclamation encouraging the development of renewable energy. Biden's order under the Defense Production Act permitted the Department of Energy to direct funds to scale up domestic production of solar and other renewable technologies. 3/17 EPA plans to eliminate science staff Memorandum - Leaked documents describe plans to lay off as many as 1,155 scientists from labs across the country. These chemists, biologists, toxicologists and other scientists are among the experts who monitor air and water quality, cleanup of toxic waste, and more. 3/16 EPA invites waivers on mercury pollution and other hazardous pollutants Memorandum - The EPA invited coal- and oil-fired power plants to apply for exemptions to limits on mercury and other toxic pollutants under the Clean Air Act. Mercury is an extremely dangerous pollutant that causes brain damage to babies and fetuses; in addition to mercury, pollution from power plants includes hazardous chemicals that can lead to cancer, or damage to the lungs, kidneys, nervous system and cardiovascular system. 4/3 Trump administration adds "deregulation suggestion" website A new page on regulations.gov allows members of the public to submit "deregulation" ideas. The move is the latest in the Trump administration's efforts to slash public health, safety, and climate safeguards, and comes soon after the administration offered companies the opportunity to send the EPA an email if they wished to be exempted from Clean Air Act protections. 4/8 Series of four EOs to boost coal  EO - Under the four orders, Trump uses his emergency authority to allow some older coal-fired power plants set for retirement to keep producing electricity to meet rising U.S. power demand amid growth in data centers, artificial intelligence and electric cars. Trump also directed federal agencies to identify coal resources on federal lands, lift barriers to coal mining and prioritize coal leasing on U.S. lands. In a related action, Trump also signed a proclamation offering coal-fired power plants a two-year exemption from federal requirements to reduce emissions of toxic chemicals such as mercury, arsenic and benzene. 4/9 Executive Order Attacking State Climate Laws EO - Directs the U.S. Attorney General to sue or block state climate policies deemed "burdensome" to fossil fuel interests — including laws addressing climate change, ESG investing, carbon taxes, and environmental justice. 4/9 New expiration dates on existing energy rules EO - The order directs ten agencies and subagencies to assign one-year expiration dates to existing energy regulations. If they are not extended, they will expire no later than September 30, 2026, according to a White House fact sheet on the order. The order also said any new regulations should include a five-year expiration, unless they are deregulatory. That means any future regulations would only last for five years unless they are extended. 4/17 Narrow Endangered Species Act to allow for habitat destruction The Trump administration is proposing to significantly limit the Endangered Species Act's power to preserve crucial habitats by changing the definition of one word: harm. The Endangered Species Act prohibits actions that “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect” endangered plants and animals. The word “harm” has long been interpreted to mean not just the direct killing of a species, but also severe harm to their environment  

This week on Face the Nation, the Trump's administration's showdown with the courts over deportations, and a closer look at Trump's agenda on education, environmental policy and more. In a rare overnight ruling, Supreme Court justices blocked the Trump administration's plans to deport a group of Venezuelans held at a detention facility in Texas. Trump also deported Kilmar Abrego Garcia -- a Maryland resident who officials admit was expelled by mistake. Senator Chris Van Hollen is just back from visiting Abrego Garcia in El Salvador, we ask him what's next. Then, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Russia is violating its own "Easter truce." And as President Trump signals the U.S. may walk away from its push for peace negotiations, we check in with Pennsylvania Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick, who's just back from a trip to Ukraine's front line. Plus, we talk with Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey about her state's fight with Washington over higher education and more. And Chicago Federal Reserve President Austan Goolsbee joins us with an update on the economy.

Fink supported the transition to green energy in the past and heads BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, which has pushed for Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG). Fink said in 2023 that he would no longer use the term ESG due to its political connotation, though he's “not ashamed” of the term and believes in “conscious capitalism.” Fink praised nuclear power and raised doubts Monday regarding the reliability of solar and wind energy alone due to storage issues in his annual chairman's letter.

Congressman Tom Tiffany, R-Wis., predicted that President Trump's plans on rare earth minerals could spur a manufacturing boom in the Rust Belt, referring to last week's joint session of Congress on Tuesday.

President Trump's appointee at the Environmental Protection Agency, Lee Zeldin, is making a lot of changes at the EPA. Including cutting 31 environmental rules regarding climate change pollution, electric vehicles, and power plants. Environmentalists say this is a gutting of regulation. GOP lawmakers deem the EPA a job killer that does nothing but burden businesses with regulations. In the eyes of the American public, the environment ranks low on the list of priorities the government should address.But flash back to the late 1960s, and it's a very different story. The environment was a bipartisan issue, and a Republican president created the EPA in 1970 in response to public pressure. So how did we get here? How did the environment go from universal concern to political battleground — with the EPA caught in the crossfire? In a piece we first aired in 2017, Brooke considered the tumultuous history of the EPA, its evolving relationship with the public, and its uncertain future.

It's safe to say the Trump administration has shaken up the federal government.That includes environmental policy and the Environmental Protection Agency. The Trump administration is making deep cuts to the department. The agency's top official, Lee Zeldin, says he wants to cut 65 percent of its budget.The EPA has already slashed jobs at the environmental justice office, which addresses disproportionate environmental and health effects on minority and low-income populations. The agency is now bracing for more cuts.The administration has already rolled back regulations, frozen funds, and made larger moves like pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Climate agreement.

The distribution indicates that about 75% of households earned less than $125,000, and roughly 85% earned less than $150,000 (extrapolating from quintiles and income brackets). The top 10% of households start around $212,000 (per DQYDJ's 2024 calculator), so 85-90% of households earn $150,000 or less. Were the Rich Taxed First After 1913? Yes, when the federal income tax was implemented in 1913 under the Revenue Act of 1913, it was designed to primarily tax the wealthy. Here's why and how: The Setup in 1913 Income Thresholds: The tax applied only to taxable income above a personal exemption of $3,000 for single individuals or $4,000 for married couples. In 1913, $3,000 was a significant amount—roughly equivalent to $86,600 in 2025 dollars (as calculated earlier). The average annual income for a worker was around $700-$800, so most Americans earned far below the taxable threshold. Tax Rates: A base rate of 1% was levied on taxable income above the exemption. A progressive surtax kicked in for higher earners: 1% on income over $20,000 (about $577,000 in 2025 dollars) up to 6% on income over $500,000 (about $14.4 million in 2025 dollars). Impact: Only about 1-2% of the U.S. population paid income tax in 1913, as the exemptions excluded the vast majority. Those who did pay were disproportionately the rich—business owners, professionals, and the industrial elite. Why the Rich? Political Intent: The 16th Amendment and the 1913 tax were championed by Progressive Era reformers who aimed to shift the tax burden from regressive tariffs (which hit the poor harder) to a direct tax on high incomes. The idea was to make the wealthy shoulder more of the federal revenue load. Economic Context: The Gilded Age had created stark income inequality, with tycoons like Rockefeller and Carnegie amassing fortunes. The income tax was a response to calls for fairness and funding government without taxing consumption. Early Evidence In 1913, the top 1% of earners—those making above roughly $10,000-$20,000 annually (hundreds of thousands in today's dollars)—bore the brunt. For example,
