about his cabinet and now congresswoman deb haaland from new mexico is his choice to lead the interior department. what's interesting about this, ayman, it was seemingly weeks ago a more obvious choice in part because of the very tough math in the house. democrats are looking like they'll enter the new congress with just 222 seats. you need 218 to be in the majority. with the number of vacancies you have sedgwick richmond who will join the west wing. you have marcia fudge nominated to be the hud secretary. we've seen some pressure on the biden transition from house leadership, not about any particular choice, but constantly reminding the biden team about the difficult numbers. the biden team getting ready to announce this pick we've confirmed with multiple sources. the choice is being cheered by progressives as a strong choice as he looks to balance the ethnic and racial diversity in his cabinet. >> an historic decision there, the first native american to serve as the interior secretary. let's turn to carl lee. vice president mike pence campaigning in georgia right now. we're learning more detail

the interior department went through two iterations. they finally produced a 2,000 page analysis and the proponent of the transatlantic pipeline, the chairman and ceo of the richfield, commented the criticisms made by environmentalists significantly improved the safety of the eight river crossings and also the fortification against earthquakes. he complimented that. and i pointed out to president george h.w. bush when his vice president and his chief of staff were complaining about environmental criticism of our response to exxonmobil, to add the "exxon valdez," environmentalists predicted there's a 1 in 1,000 chance of a major spill of a tanker coming down the anchor sound and this is the 876th trip. so it's not a one-sided story it's been obstruction, inefficiency, excessive paper. there's a lot of that to it. but it's not kept us from doing important things. i think the failure to do big things in the country is much more a lack of ambition and commitment to do big things and political reconciliation by partisanship than it is by env

it seems very clear as they go into those departments, whether the agriculture department or interior departmente is going to be the driving force. he asked why this seems to be one of the ways in which joe biden will try to continue to progressives, that's obviously one of their top priorities, one of bernie sanders priority but it's very worrisome if that is the lines for which every american policy is going to be developed because it will be very intrusive. paul: one of the issues that might be raised is whether joe biden is giving the appearance that if you lobby hard, you can push him, move him. i'm thinking of michelle, the favorite, going to be defense secretary for a while and some african-american supporters spoke up and said we want and african-american, and they got lloyd austin. there's a lot of pushing back and forth and i wonder if biden, maybe sending a signal of weakness here. >> if he is, and i think he is indeed, that spells trouble for his residency. there are people inside the democratic party, liberals who would say identity politics, absolutely. we are at a time in history

that investigation led the ig at the interior department to refer zinke to the justice department for possible criminal prosecution. we learned just last month that prosecutors wanted to file charges against ryan zinke in that case but senior trump appointees at the top of the department told them they could not. there was also trump's labor secretary, alex acosta, who was forced to resign after it came to light that when he was a federal prosecutor, he had engineered a sweetheart plea deal for millionaire pedophile and donald trump friend jeffrey epstein. acosta also got a pass from bill barr's justice department last month when a justice department investigation found that he and his fellow prosecutors had done nothing beyond having poor judgment when they gave a nonprosecution deal to epstein, despite credible allegations against epstein that he had sexually abused dozens of girls. so, trump interior secretary referred to the justice department for prosecution, justice department kiboshes the case. trump labor secretary investigated by the justice department. no action taken. just
