Persistence Pays: Lori Hinz Secures Exclusive Interview With EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin

The Trump-era EPA argued that the original ruling created crushing regulations, hurt the American economy, and pushed the EPA beyond its lawful authority.

Lori has been reporting on the high-stakes Summit Carbon Solutions CO2 pipeline since May 2023, so she pushed for answers. After weeks of delays, Zeldin’s team offered something even better than a virtual interview—a rare, in-person sit-down in North Dakota. Zeldin has been purposefully traveling state-to-state instead of staying in Washington, and he planned a November 5th press conference at the State Capitol in Bismarck.

Gary Emineth invited Lori onto Open Range to reveal the details of her exclusive conversation with Zeldin. Together, they explore major questions about federal power, environmental policy, energy regulations, and what the EPA’s proposed rollback could mean for the Heartland. It’s a must-watch report that puts BEK TV viewers in the front row of one of the biggest environmental policy stories in America today.
