democrats really trying to capitalize on the trump administration's move on health care. many of those democrats, of course, know this is essentially a winning issue for them. many of them ran and won their own races on health care, so are very eager to essentially keep the spotlight focused on the health care discussion. and that's why in just a few minutes, later this hour, they're rallying outside the supreme court. that will be led by speaker of the house nancy pelosi, to keep the spotlight squarely focused on this. keep talking about this. and certainly, we have seen them do that in the last few days. republicans, of course, on capitol hill, are facing a much different story in the reaction to this. obviously, they were caught a little bit on their back foot when the trump administration announced moves to work on health care. many of them were saying we don't know what the plan is here, and a lot of them were just throwing up their hands saying we're not sure what the plan is here, so certainly this reversal from the trump administration, trump tweeting out this mor

congressman, thanks so much for joining us. >> thanks for having me on, wolf. >> so an administration official tells cnn that protecting president trump's tax returns from being released is a hill they're willing to die on. you heard that in jim acosta's report. is this a hill democrats are also willing to die on? >> we're going to continue to proceed responsibly with our oversight function, which is consistent with the separation of powers in the united states constitution. every president since richard nixon has disclosed his taxes to the american people. gerald ford, jimmy carter, ronald reagan, george h.w. bush, bill clinton, george w. bush, barack obama have all disclosed their taxes. democrats and republicans, progressives and conservatives, the left and the right. a singular individual, donald trump, is refusing to follow this important practice. we, as a separate and co-equal branch of government, are trying to bring him into compliance. >> the president's attorney in this letter says that this effort by democrats, in the attorney's word, is a transparent effort by one politic

one of scott pruett's first actions as the epa administrator was to rescind the proposed ban and one of the early actions as the secretary was tiberi a scientific study concluding that this and another pesticide could jeopardize the continued existence of more than 1200 endangeredir birds, fish, animas and plants. let me repeat more than 1200 birds, fish and other species are at risk of extinction from to toxic pesticides. he reportedly ordered them to go back to therd drawing board to block the release of the report. i'dg been working to get it off the market with legislation and the federal courts have ordered the epa to move forward with dan. there's no good reason that it's still in use except that it's manufactured by a powerful dupont company. the withdrawal of scientificic study serves big chemicals interest, not the public. one of the most egregious anti-conservation actions of this administration is the unprecedented attacks on the antiquities act which has stood since president theodore roosevelt. the president reduced a national monument by 85% and grand staircase by over

it's clear to me that this administration is turning its back on enforcing our environmental laws. and while that's friendlier to industry, it's a five-alarm fire for our air quality and our water quality. mr. wheeler, if the administration's focus is on compliance and not enforcement, what are your specific goals and metrics to show that this approach will result in cleaner air and water, specific metrics and goals? >> absolutely. first of all, whether a state has primacy on environmental programs, they're the ones who generally do the ifnspections, which is why the inspection numbers have been going down since 2010. >> but also, mind you, the budgets that have come up here have savaged money to the states. i mean the budgets you've been presenting year after year, this administration, your partners are the -- you've delegated, but then you don't want to give them money to do the job. i don't know how you can get in this situation where you say, oh, we're going to let the states do it. but then when they're vital partners, it's very important for you to give them the money to do th

i feel like you see the administration speaking on background, on an anonymous basis on issues where in previous administrations you would have a named official. that's kind of a frustrating trend as well. i've been in the situation where i find in a lot of these issues people in congress or even foreign countries are kind of more forthcoming about what has happened in meetings with the administration. it's really kind of a shame, i think, because to some extent the trump administration is losing the ability to communicate its own trade policy and the rationale behind its own trade policy which we would really like to understand and communicate. we work hard to represent that view, but not having transparency from the administration is definitely a very basic impediment to that. >> yes, in the back. >> hi. roy houseman with united steel workers. i was curious about 37% of anti-dumping cases are against china currently. i'm wondering how you think the business community will approach enforcement even through traditional means or whatever mechanism that could potentially be brought forw

russians but what the media is not telling you is the president has been much tougher on russia than the obama administration. very tough measures have been imposed to sanction individuals who meddled in the 2016 election and on a related point some very good and tough measures have been engaged and passed to protect the integrity of future elections. there is no mention of that on tv, i have been in the interagency meetings. this is a serious matter, this comprehensive matter to protect our elections, next time you watch and they go on and on that this administration has done nothing to protect our elections it is not true. i think they know it isn't true but i have seen these policies and is something bolton takes very seriously. over 100 russians and entities have been sanctioned for meddling in the ukraine and this administration sent lethal military aid to the ukraine. there has been strong opposition by this administration to the pipeline in europe which would yield hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the russians but also would link europe to closely to the russian gas. for this reason we t

on a number of issues. jackie's question is what this administration has been about. taking on the regulatory state that the obama administration weaponized against the economy. it is an example of how an agency can be used in a negative way. as you know the oil and gas sector the agricultural secretary, the agency was weaponized against those sectors. the president called me on the day of my confirmation and said scott, you are in the second most important agency other than the department of defense. he knew how important it was to right the ship, to make sure that we adopted regulations that didn't declare war on fossil fuelses, that recognized -- fossil fuelses, that recognized how we have been blessed with so many natural resources to serve our economy and fellow man in generating power and feeding the world many we truly had a lot of work to do at the epa, and i think as i came into that position the thing that was striking to me there were people there, that were truly as you might expect, not rad call, but focused on the agenda of the previous administration. wh

administration. it was to focus on equity. folks really wanted to make sure that each school site has a social worker? and so i'm -- i feel like one of the narratives that's coming out here is this recommendation is a surprise? so i assume the peef c.a.c. presents these recommendations again and again and specifically drawing issues with vapa administration, i feel like the only way that that would be a surprise to staff is if we never intended that advisory committee's recommendatio recommendations not to be taken seriously. i thought one of the good recommendations we'll be moving forward is having site folks and educators as a part of the peef c.a.c. as i've been talking to folks who are site coordinators, i've heard mixed things that sometimes vapa doesn't support arts in school, and i have to wonder the testimony i'm hearing about old instruments, when we're sending $2.3 million into school is the best piece of funding. thank you.

this,or some time even predating the administration. e.on that, a onegrace period about how this will be allocated. if you look at the impact trump administration has had pacific we on tehran, and how they have not been able to carry out their oil industry, it's been significant. there are some who were skeptical of the administration following through on this, but the administration and others made it clear today, that is not the case. they will continue down this path. the ultimate goal being to get tehran to denuclearize and let go of their nuclear ambitions. what will it mean for the relationship with its allies? waivers were granted to the biggest u.s. allies like japan, south korea, and india. kevin: precisely. even beyond that, prime minister shinzo abe is said to be here in washington later this week, in the second half of the week, as well as japan's trade minister. clearly, there are continuing conversations on the geopolitical front that will have to be worked out. but from the administration's vantage point, even from the u.s. vantage point,
