really in the 1960's and 1970's continuing really into 1981, regardless of political party environmentalism was largely bipartisan and especially so within the u.s. department of the interior, . morton and udall were actually really good friends. udall went to morton's swearing-in ceremony. you can argue that morton upheld and expanded on all of udall's successes within the department. a second reason for udall's success in the 1960's was through his means for paying for the success, the land and water conservation fund. if you haven't heard of this, i joke that it is the most important piece of conservation legislation that you've never heard of. this was referred to as a udall pet project, but over the years, it's funded outdoor recreation and open space acquisition projects in every single county of every single state and territory in the nation. how it worked was, it was started in 1964, 1965 and it gained its money through motor boat fuel tax and public land user fees, if you go into a national park, you have to pay to get into some of them. in 1968, the act was amended and this was where it really got its money. it was given funds through offshore oil leasing revenue

. >> yes, the department of justice has been investigating ryan zinke for allegedly misusing his post as the head of the department of the interior for his own personal gain. inspector general at the department of the interior has looked into a number of issues and dealings that zinke has been tied to, including alleged misuse of agency resources, lavish travel, as well as his connections to a casino deal in connecticut, and his connections to the head of halliburton. all of that under scrutiny. as you noted, zinke has denied these allegations. in that tweet, he mentions that he doesn't want to spend thousands of dollars defending himself. part of his justification apparently for now leaving the administration. he and the president do enjoy a good relationship. the president likes ryan zinke. the issue for the white house here is the potential exposure, as you know, there have been a number of key departures from this administration under scrutiny for alleged unethical behavior and the white house simply doesn't want another tom price, or rob porter, someone leaving the white house under very serious allegations and tremendous pr

of course under investigation by the department of justice for allegedly using his position to advance his personal, excuse me, to advance himself personally. of course, the inspector general at the department of the interior has opened a number of in inquiries into him, including a casino deal in connecticut as well as his communications with the head of halliburton, among other dealings. he has said that he is innocent, that these investigations are politically motivated. but of course, the concern here at the white house is that he could be exposed, not only by these investigations, but potentially by the democratic-led house of representatives, who could open any number of investigations in his dealings and also force him to publicly testify with thes white house already under pressure by that democratic-led house, and by the russia investigation, his departure likely not a coincidence, alex. >> and boris, on mick mulvaney taking over as acting chief of staff, while he stays the head of the omb, are we supposed to read into this, that this is just a temporary hire or do we think he is actually going to stay in the job more permanently? >> well, it is a good question. two noteworthy points here. first,

on the subject of staff changes the president will name a replace for the department of the interior secretary. fox news was told that mulvaney will take over as chief of staff on january 3rd. >> shannon: the dow lost more than 2 percentage points for the 4th time this month. the s&p fell 2%. nasdaq down 2 and a quarter. let's get insight on what is happening. christine joins us from new york. >> it was a rocky day on wall street with a huge selloff for the last hour. indexes their lowest close in 14 months. investors have to grapple with several issues. there is a chance the federal reserve will increase interest rates on wednesday. investors will pay close attention to jay powell and his worgd. when the fed hikes interest rates that affects all debt. this is a concern about global growth slow down. weaker economic data from chine and europe weighed heavily on oil today. it was at a 14th month low. the u.s. dollar is climbing higher and that makes oil more expensive for other countries. the energy sector was lowered this. healthcare took a trumpble after a texas judge ruled obamacare

north dakota, there has been a massive increase in the amount of flaring on an indian reservation there that would have been subject to an interior departmentited that flaring and those leaks, be the trump administration basically eliminated all of those limits on flaring, and i went and visited that reservation in november, and you thought the hillsides were on fire. i mean, the flares were burning everywhere you looked, hundreds of flares burning. 30% of the natural gas that they produce there is being burned. it's enough to power 600,000 homes per month. it's just being burned into the air. at times there are chemicals that are leaking that are carcinogens going into the air. it's an incredible scene. it's quite terrifying, in fact, but this is something that's no longer being regulated by the department of the interior. >> and we know that the trump administration, that donald trump came in touting coal. he was going to somehow bring back this 19th and 20th century product and make it, you know, profitable again. talk a little bit about what the administration has been doing on coal in terms of the environment, and has that in fact brou

the department of homeland security, the justice department, department of the interior, state departmentepartments of housing and urban development, state department, agriculture, commerce and energy are all partly closed. 420,000 federal employees are working without pay and another 380,000 will be furloughed, meaning they will have stay home without pay and depending how long the partial shutdown lasts, they could miss a paycheck. most national parks employees are home without pay right now and that's creating some issues for holiday visitors. the park service is working to keep roads and facilities open that you were already open, but services at that require staffing will be closed. it's affecting parks that require snow removal and popular holiday destinations like zion national park in utah. >> the key park that we're focused on is zion national park, we're working closely with the superintendent at zion to figure out a way to keep the visitors services open. >> among the parks that could have shut down, statue of liberty and ellis island which draw about 10,000 people per day. the

after the election in the way that he's approaching, whether it's energy or any of the purview of the interior department. we have heard a few names, including people like dean heller, the nevada senator who just lost his race, as one of the potential replacements, this is somebody we expect, that president trump will want to get somebody who can get confirmed in the upcoming senate where he has 53 republican votes. >> before we run out of time, do you think the staffing changes are more evidence of an administration in chaos or is this tightening things up as we look toward reelection campaign. >> this is the latest edition of donald trump's apprentice white house version. it's always been who's in, who's out. this is one of his favorite games. he loves to play around with staffing. it's an unprecedented turn in the white house, in the west wing, we have never seen that rate of turnover in any administration and that's just who donald trump is, and i also think we're going into two years that will be especially contentious and especially full of turmoil, let alone the reelection. it's going to be even m
