BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): There's been a lot of hype around the Green New Deal, I don't know if you heard. But will it hold up in Congress?
STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Well we'll soon find out where senators stand because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced yesterday he plans to bring the sweeping Green New Deal to a vote in the Senate.
AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): In the meantime what do the voters think about it? Fox News contributor and editor-in-chief of Campus Reform Lawrence Jones went to D.C to find out.

So they did emergency action, so the emergency action that this would do would result in a total grinding to a halt America as an economic and military power. How does that help solve environmental issues?
JONES: Well, it doesn’t.
