Hello again. All three branches of government are involved in impeaching a president.

Charges are made by the House, followed by trial in the Senate, presided over by the chief justice

of the United States, the current chief, a conservative, John Roberts. What role will he play?

I believe John Roberts would try to do nothing that would steer the ultimate resolution for

Donald Trump toward a conviction or acquittal. The trial is likely to start next week, and we'll hear

more later from Joan Biscupic. She's a biographer of Chief Justice Roberts. But first, climate change,

But even though he's finally conceded that climate change is real, Trump's war on environmental protections is still very much underway, but it's part of what he calls

a drive to create new jobs, which he announced at that same conference we just heard from.

Today we're taking another historic step in our campaign to slash job-killing regulations

and improve the quality of life for all of our citizens. In the past, many

Americas of America's most critical infrastructure projects have been tied up and bogged down

by an outrageously slow and burdens from federal approval process. Michael Hiltzik is business

columnist for the L.A. Times, and Michael, it's always good to have you with us.

It's good to be with you.

Job-killing regulations.

That is often a phrase, which really means, let's get rid of all those environmental controls.
