Summary

An unidentified speaker accused Zeldin, Bergam and Wright of repeatedly misleading the public about cost savings and favoring fossil fuels, and said passing a bipartisan bill would be pointless because those individuals would continue alleged illegal acts and false statements.

An unidentified speaker accused Zeldin, Bergam and Wright of repeatedly misrepresenting projected savings from energy policies and favoring fossil fuel interests, saying those actions make bipartisan legislation ineffective.

The speaker said, "they are conspicuously and consistently failing to tell the truth about savings, consistently misleading the public," and added that the three "pretend that fossil fuel is cheaper when it just isn't." The speaker argued that because of those practices there is "no point in passing a bipartisan bill," saying opponents would continue "illegal acts and false statements, anything to help fossil fuel."

The transcript contains only the speaker's allegations and does not record any response from Zeldin, Bergam or Wright. The speaker did not provide specific savings figures, evidence of illegality, or further documentation in the recorded remarks.
