priority with you? >> well, it's to make us better war fighters. energy is a vulnerability. energy can be used as a weapon. and when i came in, marines were using it for fuel in gh petroleum had to be added to biofuel for it to pack enough punch to be feasable, but a panama city, florida company, ara, was working on a process to make sterile water in remote areas when they stumbled on a way to make biofuels identical to petroleum. >> from this material, we make jet diesel. >> reporter: chuck redd is the company's vice president of field development. >> it's a material that has all the same molecules as petroleum crude but from a renewable feed stock. >> reporter: one of those feed stocks is ethiopian mustard seeds that can be grown in arid ground and can be used by farmers as a rotation crop. ara's process can use waste

president-elect trump's inner circle, and also one of the most controversial. >> his appointment of steven bannonis proof of the ugly direction mr. trump intends to take this country. >> you think i would manage a campaign where that would be one of the going philosophies, it was not. >> a navy veteran, bannon earned his wealth as a banker hollywood investor, later acquiring rights to seinfeld. bannon boasted about turning this site into a platform for the alt-right. >> bannon has been the leader of a splinter group for republicans. >> that was the role he enjoyed, sort of poking at the establishment with a stick. and being as deliberately

as i think he could be. >> reporter: reportedly drawing more than 20 million viewers a month, bannon is known for inflammatory headlines, bannon's personal life is hit with controversy, in 1996 he was charged with misdemeanor violence and battery when his now ex-wife alleged he grabbed her by the throat and arm. the case was dropped in 2007, during divorce proceedings, she accused bannon of blocking the girls from attending a school because he didn't want the girls going to school with jews. bannon denied that accusation, he was known for attention-grabbing motions, including this press release. >> i think bannon understands

there are new questions about the role president-elect donald trump's children will play in his administration. cbs news has learned the transition team has asked the white house how trump's oldest children and son-in-law would go about getting top secret security clearances. julianna goldman broke this story and has the details from washington. >> well, the sources tell us that the president-elect donald trump's transition team is looking to designate some of his adult children as national security advisers that they would then be able to receive the top secret clearances. now even if it doesn't happen during the transition trump would still be able to put in the request once he becomes president. now looking at the rules here,

president from letting his family work in the white house, but they do not stop him from hiring them as paid or private advisers. now, it is common for them to get secret security clearances, but totally unprecedented for his children, given they don't have security backgrounds. now others are alarming security children armed with security to some of the top secrets in the nation. raises questions about them running the family business and whether they could use intelligence for their financial interests. now, a transition official told reporters that the president-elect did not request this step and that trump's children had not filled out any paperwork about security clearances. the official added quote, it's not something i'm expecting

committee member bob corker was on a short list as secretary of state, but that appears to be going to either rudy giuliani. >> i think we let the process complete, we know who the person is. it confirmation process. but handicap people at this point would be inappropriate. just let it play out. >> what would you like to see in a secretary of state? >> well, obviously, it's the person who is best able to advance our national interests around the world. and obviously, it's someone that has to deal with diplomats. but at the same time i think we see that there is going to be pretty much of a sort of a seat change issue if you will under

so you know someone is going to have to have the ability and be in an environment where they were productive and able to do that. look, this is the beginning. i know people are just getting started. and let's let this play out and i do look forward to helping in any way i can in the confirmation process. >> well, senator, your name did come up as a possible secretary of state candidate. have you talked to the president-elect or would you be interested in the job? >> i did talk to him and president pence. but we have had no discussions about this. i'm reading the same things that y'all are reading and watching the same things that you know you're reporting. and again, that is up to them. i know they had a number of people that were central to the campaign that have been involved in a very major way that are looking at these things. and let's let that process play out. >> you have praised donald trump's decision to make reince priebus his chief of staff.

anything about that and your feelings about that. >> you know, i don't know him, never met him. reince priebus just happened to be someone i had interactions with and had dinner with. i think he will be a great chief of staff. the other gentleman i had never met. i was listening to your reporting just a moment ago and learned some things that i had never known. so we'll see. >> you didn't know tha bannon was the head of breitbart and they had headlines like that? >> i did know that he was head of breitbart, but again, i had no interactions with him. and will learn as i go. >> and cbs learned that

security clearances for his children, and we also know they will be running his businesses. do you see a possible conflict of interest? >> i think you are reporting what you have heard. my understanding was they didn't make that request. they asked if it was appropriate. my guess is that is not going to happen. i don't think that is the norm. so that conflict would likely >> well, president-elect trump has spoken with russian president vladimir putin as head of the senate foreign relations committee. what do you think about the relationship with president-elect trump and vladimir putin? >> well, there are some things we have in common with vladimir putin and should work with him. on the other hand, putin has

dictator-like leader, and i think it's positive when two countries begin on a positive note. hopefully there is something to build on there. but mr. putin would have to change the way he deals with the world for that to be a constructive relationship. but we'll see how that changes. >> the cbs news will be right back. it's judgment day. back seat chefs peer inside your oven. but you've cleaned all baked-on
