John Duarte Slams Environmental Regulations

Published | Video Starts at 03:10

Thank you. So here's the last time the Endangered Species act was reauthorized right here, and that was about, what, 40 million acres, or 30 million acres of critical habitat. And Since it failed to be reauthorized, then expired, we've got 250 million acres of critical habitat. Now, a good chunk of that I know is the 10% of California's land area that is designated to fairy shrimp critical habitat. Fairy shrimp and vernal pool critical habitat. (03:10–03:18)

CLAIM

Asserts that since the Endangered Species Act expired, 250 million acres of critical habitat have been designated.
