I mentioned two Republicans, but let me mention one other former President Donald Trump, who just last week, I never thought I'd see this. I've heard it, but I've never seen it. Donald Trump just last week had oil executives convening, talking about his election, and he openly asked them for $1 billion to roll back the environmental progress of the Biden administration. Environmental progress that we've made over the course of the last half century. Open corruption, a billion dollars to pollute our states, to pollute our country, and to pollute this planet, and to roll back progress in the open. (07:22–07:39)
