what he's suggesting is something about forest management and the secretary of the interior ryan zinke wrote about this in an op-ed in "usa today." he says stop -- let me read it. radical environmentalists would have you believe that forest management means clear-cutting forests and national parks but their rhetoric could not be further from the truth. they make an outdated and unscientific argument void of facts because they cannot defend the merits of their policy preferences year after year as our forests and homes burn to the ground. there are issues around forest management that are up for debate right now, doctor, yes? >> there certainly are. there are decades of conversations about how to best manage our forests and fires. we're coming off of almost a century of putting out furz rather than letting low level fires burn and that's built up the fuel load that's contributing to this problem. >> it would be great if the federal government would improve their forest management policies but that won't prevent these fires from happening, we have to address the way we develop land, the

ryan zinke tweeted" we must be able to manage our forest and not face litigation we try to remove thesels, and he's right. environmental groups have blocked numerous times the removal of old dead trees. studies also show the fed's own at 640 million acres of land and does not have the resources to fully manage them. shannon? >> thank you. a new report making bold claims about a new jersey i.c.e. employee's ties to alleged hate groups. star-ledger said it "the man who speaks for i.c.e. in new jersey, according to our help in the southern poverty law center. he was previously an editor for an anti-muslim hate group and published a piece praising and islamophobic. this has come under fire from conservatives with questionable claims relating to extremism. lieutenant general jerry boykin is here to weigh in and i should know right up front, frc and you have been listed as part of the hate groups by sclc. what do you make of the latest attempt which seems to be yet another way of going after i.c.e. and making them the bad guys? >> i think anything that comes out of the southern poverty law ce

his secretary of the interior, ryan zinke, may have asked the chairman of halliburton to build him aicrobrewery in his home now. now his secretary of commerce, wilbur ross, is facing serious financial allegations. according to "forbes" magazine, wilbur ross is accused of stealing more than $120 million from former business associates. he's the secretary of commerce. that's wilbur ross. gee. who would have guessed the cabinet member who looks most like emperor palpatine wound up being evil? [ laughter ] [ cheers and applause ] in all the accusations in the stories, and there are many, my favorite is "forbes" says ross habitually stole sweet and low packets from restaurants. the man is worth $700 million. stealing sweet and low like my grandmother. i believe -- what is this now, a half dozen members of trump's cabinet in hot water? maybe even more importantly, this is the first time a person named wilbur has been in the news since 1935. [ laughter ] they're the best people, though. the best. [ applause ] with all this nonsense happening all the time, maybe the most destructive thing th

i can i would say right now their economy looks terrible >> thank you very much i'd like to ask ryan zinke, secretary, he was giving a run down on the horrible fires taking place, i to the what he said is so true. >> the president there making remarks before that cabinet meeting. we heard from larry kudlow giving a debrief, telling the president he believes by far the biggest story of the year is the economic boom, said it's in the early innings, that it should continue as most of us around here know from seeing larry all those years. that was larry kudlow very much in his element talking about the strength of the economy, echoing the remarks the presidented a made preceding him

today interior secretary ryan zinke and agriculture secretary sonny perdue met with local officials and yesterday zinke advocated for the removal of more trees from national forests to reduce fire risks. today he said he is not pushing for full scale logging on public lands. >> we're not talking about intensive logging operations. we're talking about grazing to restore the health of our forest to remove the density and remove the dead and dying trees and a lot of that can be done economically by the private industry because we're never going to be able to do it on the public side. >> president trump himself has said more trees should be cut down. critics note the carr fire and some other recent wildfires have started in shrublands, the the forests. they also say the trump administration is ignoring climate change as a key factor. >>> a lot of folks today, paul, saying they felt some relief, not as much smoke in the area. >> once again nice view from our dublin cam, a little haze today but not much. these highs have not been this low inland in 40 days. pittsburg 90 degrees, los gatos83,

convinced that some of these folks, and i don't want to call inside the heads of the scott pruitt or ryan zinke this weird rationale -- trust me, someone is doing something worse, this isn't harming anybody. >> yeah, it's really disgusting. somebody should do a swamp-o-meter so we can track how gross things are in d.c. i think you're right, there is this feeling of, yes, other people have done it before so it's okay that it happens now. there's something particular with the republican base that they overlook everything. >> all you have to do is say two words, hillary clinton. no, she's more corrupt than all of them so what does it matter. >> with no facts behind it. 42% are okay if donald trump shuts down the -- what's happening? >> but the clinton foundation. that's the culture of corruption. what are you guys talking about. >> there will be that and the one thing republicans can legitimately point to is democrats did overlook senator bob menendez and basically stood by him all through the way. the ethics committee gave him a strong reprimand for accepting gifts and that whole thing did not re

. >> i also want to read a part from an op-ed in "usa today that secretary ryan zinke wrote saying radicallists would have you believe forest management means clear-cutting forests in national parks. the rhetoric could not be further from the truth. are forests posing challenges to you and the firefighters right now? i mean, is there some sort of change that's needed in state or federal policy? >> so forests across the west, including california, are decadent. we've got 100 years where we've been suppressing fires because we're protecting lives and property, 40 million people in california. can't afford to have fire burning the landscape. but with that has come a buildup of -- a natural buildup of fuels. and so, active thinning. governor brown has led efforts through a tree mortality task force dealing with 126 million dead trees, and now a forest management task force that is leading significant efforts to increase the pace and scale in treating up to 500,000 acres a year. and that's forest thinning, that's prescribed fire. that's putting in fuel breaks around communities. we have an exam

you look at ryan zink. you look across the depth and breadth of this administration. part of this -- and we look back to the days of jake abramoff. he's going to look like a piker when this is all said and done, right? in the age of manafort. and it's not paul manafort alone. there's a lot of paul manaforts out there across washington, d.c., and people right now are feeding at the public trough, ripping off the american taxpayer, breaking all manner of rules, ethics, laws. and so far they haven't been called to account on it. but what's always been the case is that corruption has worked as an issue in political campaigns and that to be the reform party, to be the good government party, to be the clean government party is a powerful place to be. >> i think democrats are prepared to be that. i mean, if you look across the section of candidates who are running and who are winning now, a lot of them are coming in as reformers. they're not business as usual. they're not your typical politician. and they're coming in to reform the system so that they can do things for peopl
