Bills to reduce environmental regulations have continued to pass in the Republican-controlled House of Representatives, but with each vote the margin of victory becomes slimmer. Now, House Speaker Newt Gingrich has formed a task force of leading House Republicans to find some common ground between the party’s anti-regulation and pro-environment camps.

Reilly joins host Steve Curwood to discuss Republican efforts to close ranks on green issues.
