00:00Go ahead Mary. Earth Day and then the Supreme Court if that's okay. That's right. It's Earth Day.
00:04Yes. Happy Earth Day everyone. I saw the president truthing about the garbage pile up from China
00:10and the Pacific and then I believe Lee Zeldin is headed to San Diego to investigate the pile
00:16of sewage from Mexico. Can you speak to what the White House has planned for Earth Day and anything
00:20in that arena? Sure. I do have points from the EPA. Administrator Zeldin is doing a fantastic job
00:27and they are always sharing their accomplishments with the White House which we very much appreciate.
00:31He will be traveling. I believe he's in California today for sewage situation. Here you go.
00:39Administrator Zeldin met with his Mexican counterpart to discuss steps Mexico needs to take to ensure
00:44the water entering the United States is clean and safe and he's holding a press conference in San
00:48Diego today with elected officials and local stakeholders on the Tijuana River sewage crisis.
00:53I would also add from the president himself he has always maintained he wants America to have the
00:59cleanest air and the cleanest water and we want to do what's right for our environment and for our
01:03earth and a lot of that is making sure that we have clean and sustainable energy and we know that we
01:09produce natural gas cleaner and more efficiently than any country in this world and the president
01:14wants to see that continue. Thank you.
