About this episode
The God Squad, a U.S. government panel, convenes Tuesday for the first time since 1992 to discuss exempting oil and gas drilling in the Gulf of Mexico from the Endangered Species Act due to national security concerns. Chaired by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, the group includes top Trump admin officials. Critics warn this could endanger rare marine life, while Trumps second term pushes for increased fossil fuel production. The panels rare exemptions grant history and recent judicial blocks on weakening species rules make this a pivotal moment for wildlife protections.
