Pursuant to clause 13 of Rule 1, the House stands adjourned until noon on Wednesday, November 12th, 2025. | |
| And that ends today's brief House session on day 41 of the government shutdown. | ||
| Members are expected to take up legislation to reopen the government later this week once it's passed by the Senate. | ||
| Live coverage of the House continues, as always, when members return next here on C-SPAN. | ||
| Well, shortly, we'll take you to House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who's expected to respond to the deal advanced in the Senate last night to reopen the government. | ||
| We'll have live coverage here on C-SPAN when it gets underway. | ||
| Right now, a portion of this morning's Washington Journal. | ||
| Welcome back to Washington Journal. | ||
| Before we get to our guest, just wanted to let you know that Speaker Mike Johnson will be holding a press conference right after this program at 10 a.m. | ||
| We will take you there directly so you can see what he has to say after the events of last night in the Senate. | ||
| But joining us now is Ben LeFave. | ||
| He is Deputy Energy Editor for Politico. | ||
| Ben, welcome to the program. | ||
| Thanks for being here. | ||

Thanks. | |
| Appreciate being here. | ||
| So COP 30 has just gotten underway. | ||
| Can you tell us what that is and what is expected to happen there? | ||
| Yeah, COP30 is the annual conference where you have pretty much almost every country in the world meeting up different locations every year. | ||
| This year it's in Brazil to discuss kind of the way forward that countries can take to lower their emissions. | ||
| And the main idea behind this is if you don't lower emissions, climate change is going to keep getting worse. | ||
| The globe will keep warming up. | ||
| We'll see more extreme weather patterns. | ||
| You know, everything from hurricanes barreling down the Gulf at higher speeds and stronger winds and rain to you have literally small villages in Alaska kind of falling into the seashore because of rising waters. | ||
| So the leaders get together in Brazil this year, try to figure out what laws or what ways can we, what can we do to kind of lower our carbon emissions from our different industries in the different countries to prevent the increasing temperatures around the globe. | ||
| When you say almost everybody from around the world, the United States will not be sending a delegation. | ||
| Why not? | ||
| Correct. | ||
| President Trump has made it pretty clear he views climate change as, in his words, a scam, that it's a con job, I think he's called it. | ||
| And they don't see a point in sending U.S. government officials to the conference. | ||
| Trump had threatened to pull out the Paris Agreement, which is the agreement that countries made 10 years ago to kind of, you know, among other things, to hold these annual meetings. | ||
| He never was able to quite do that, but this year, they've gone ahead and done it, and they've said, we're not sending anyone. | ||
| There's no one from the State Department that we know of, no one from the Energy Department, from the Interior Department. | ||
| It's basically, as far as U.S. leadership is concerned, it's a vacuum at Brazil for the year. |
