Lee Zeldin says everyday Americans thank him for tax cuts and policy changes. Rep. Greg Landsman's response is laughter, opening a TYT Investigates compilation that puts the EPA administrator's account of public gratitude beside lawmakers' questions about what those policies cost.
The upload drew about 127,000 views in fifteen hours, a much faster start than the clips channel usually sees for its regular videos. It packages exchanges from several congressional hearings, rather than a single uninterrupted encounter.
The opening supplies the title's hook, but the compilation soon turns to specific policy disputes. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse argues that policies favoring fossil fuels raise consumers' energy costs. Sen. Bernie Sanders challenges the repeal of provisions supporting solar energy programs and oversight funding.
A longer section follows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's questions about glyphosate regulation. She submits EPA visitor logs and internal emails documenting contacts between agency staff and Bayer executives. Zeldin says the agency is conducting a scientific review of glyphosate scheduled for completion in 2026.
Landsman returns later with questions about who devised the proposed EPA budget reductions, pressing Zeldin on the role of budget director Russ Vought. His final exchange shifts to environmental assessments for data centers, with the binders on Zeldin's desk becoming part of the questioning.
