this week we learned more about former epa chief scott pruitt's excessive spending habits during his tenure in the administration. the office of the inspector general found he and his staff spent nearly $124,000 on unnecessary first and business class air travel in just ten months on the job. and of course pruitt isn't the only former cabinet secretary to face allegations of that kind. >> what i want to say to the speaker, don't you fly over our country in your luxury jet and lecture us about what it means to be an american. don't you tell us about america. >> hmm. so congressman tom price blasted nancy pelosi for taking charter flights. but as health and human services secretary, he had no problem taking them. an internal watchdog report found that price spent $341,000 of taxpayer money on charter, military, and commercial flights. and who could forget former interior secretary ryan zinke. zinke redesigned last year around allegations of misconduct. a $12,000 charter flight that, quote, could have been avoided. when we continue tonight, house democrats campaigned on reining in the p

so scott pruitt, the former epa commissioner, tried to poke holes in the science.e comes at it really from a religious point of view as an evangelical who believes that humans don't have the power to alter god's creation in this way and that oil and gas is the fruit of the earth given to man. and so those who are now fighting against the overwhelming evidence, everyone from the pentagon, nasa, noaa, smithsonian says this is happening, and it's more serious than we're talking about. >> there are real-life issues with this. >> yes. >> especially in our country, and there are some folks who are vulnerable, the most vulnerable. >> exactly. >> you've been looking into that. >> ultimately this is going to affect all living life, all creatures on earth. but as we've seen from history, some people are more equal than others, and the folks that are feeling it are subsistence fishermen or farmers and people of color, neighborhoods of color here in the richest land on earth. and i went to visit one such place. >> reporter: it is the great paradox of the manmade climate crisis

and so cutting it off and -- and scott pruitt, the former epa commissioner proposed to president trump, well let's have a debate. let's set up a red and blue team debate. it is really hard to find somebody on the other side of the debate. but they found one. his name is william happener. he's a former princeton atomic physicist who also worked for right-wing think tanks which are funded by petro chemical dollars and he had this analogy about too much carbon in the atmosphere. this is from a few years ago. take a listen. >> you know, i get called a denier and anyone who objects to all of the hype gets called a denier. that is supposed to make me a holocaust denier. i'm getting tired of that. and the comment i made was the demonization of carbon dioxide is just like the demonization of the poor jews under hit lear. carbon dioxide is a benefit to the world and so were the jews. >> i mean, are you kidding? that is what they found. that is your point? >> and the only way -- because for years the commit -- politicalization denied this was happening and claims there was a 17-year pause and no

scott pruitt, i would be fascinated to learn what he did when he was running the epa. at the same time, it contributes to the sense they're taking on too much. >> talking members of congress in the third person, talk to one in the first person. donald trump jr. agreed to testify. maybe there's a sign there is a way to negotiate with the white house. we shall see. there's also a fight between trump and the oversight committee over the trump personal financial records. that went from capitol hill to a courtroom. president trump's lawyers are suing to block his accounting firm from turning over years of financial documents to house democrats. federal judge declined to rule, seemed to question the trump legal team position that the democrats subpoena was an overreach of congressional powers. joining me, a member of the oversight committee from maryland. congressman, i'm guessing you heard a little of this conversation. i want to get to specifics in a minute. but i want to go to the larger thing. do you buy this notion that maybe the american public isn't sure what the prio

but the data mostly supports pruitt's claim. you have to consider the source, just like during my days on the felony judge, major civil litigation t all about the credibility of the witness. as we've seen, "the washington post" is exceedingly biased, slanted in their reporting. and so we need a source that gives pinocchios to the "the washington post." ecause if you look at the 2017 b.p. statistical review of world energy, since 2005, annual u.s. carbon docks -- carbon dioxide emissions have declined by $7 -- 758 million metric tons. that is by far the largest decline of any country in the world over that time span and is nearly as large as the 770 million metric ton decline for the entire european union. by comparison, the second largest decline during that period was registered by the united kingdom, which reported 170 million metric ton decline. so we had 758 million metric ton decline in carbon emissions. in that year. and u.k. was second. not quite up to our 758 million metric tons. they were at 170 million metric ton decli
