and former interior secretary ryan zinke. this is why we're introducing the for the people act. this bill includes a number of reforms that will strengthen our ability for the executive branch including the president. here is what we're focusing on in our oversight committee. requiring the president to disclose his financial interests as soon as he takes office. or she takes office. prohibiting executive branch officials from lobbying their own agencies for two years after they leave. prohibiting procurement officers from going to work for companies they awarded contracts to for at least two years after they leave. strengthening the government's ethics watchdog, the office of government ethics, and making it more independent. making any waivers, any waivers from ethics rules available to the american people. finally, requiring senior government officials to disclose political contributions they receive before joining the government. i'm anxiously looking forward to the hearings on h.r. 1. now it gives me great honor and great privilege to introduce my great colleague and just a

administration -- >> i think the headline, i'm guessing if it's the same one i saw was talking about ryan zinkeleft in a cloud of scandal and abuse of his office which a number of cabinet administers have under trump. >> ed: appreciate your time. did you get a good year end bonus? with the nfl playoff starting, we want to tell you about two nfl players who got -- leading four employees short of collecting a one million-dollar bonus. tom brady so sure of his abilities he signed a contract that if reached paid out an extra 5 million bucks. he missed in all five categories and got no bonus. don't feel too bad. mr. brady's salary which he did receive in full, $15 million. i would love that 15 million bucks. i am just backing up our quarterback, shannon bream tonight. she will be back calling the plays tomorrow. i am filling in for bret tomorrow. new congress sworn in. i am ed henry in washington. coaching means making tough choices. jim! you're in! but when you have high blood pressure and need cold medicine that works fast, the choice is simple. coricidin hbp is the #1 brand that gives powerful co

there could be fireworks when and if democrats hear from interior secretary ryan zinke. they are looking into whether he lied about his real estate dealings. i want to start with you, nick. if there's one thing that i keep hearing from folks, at least from the public that we speak to about the investigations, there's a certain measure of fatigue that can set in. a lot of americans just want the answer. they don't want to know all the blow by blow. they want to know, is this person corrupt and should we fire them. how do democrats manage this without it feeling so wired and so jacked up that people tune out? >> what they have to do is center it around the major issues that are involved. whether it's immigration, whether it's health care, it's voting rights. whether it's plain honesty. they have to focus these things. you have committee es with differing jurisdiction. there's trump's tax returns. you have two committees that could wind up getting those tax returns. there's the one that is the committee that is lookin aing ae russia matter, there's the appropriations commit

the department of health and human services and the department of -- where david -- took over for ryan zinkelet's go to jeff mason, curt mardella, and an nbc news think contributor, josh ger steen, politico's senior legal affairs writer and msnbc contributor. josh, i just went through some of them contributor. josh, i just went through some of them here. by themselves, one would necessarily say that does not look so good but there's more than one here. again, i'm just listing partially some of those and the titles there and where this might go. have we in essence made the idea of draining the swamp worse? >> yes, i think so. and i think the problem is actually getting worse in the trump administration, maybe not intentionally. my sense is the president originally wanted titans of industry to fill all of these cabinet positions and he still has folks who are kind of like that in wilbur ross or steve mnuchin but as we have people flame out here, fall out for various reasons, including other type of ethical standards, you're having the second tier or third tier of people elevated and it turns o

in the united states "the , washington post" reports that recently-departed interior secretary ryan zinke faces a justice department criminal probe into whether he lied to his agency's inspectors general. the alleged lies came as zinke faced inquiries into his role in reviewing a proposed casino project in connecticut and over real estate dealings in montana. zinke is also the subject of more than a dozen other federal ethics investigations. newly revealed tax filings show google shifted $23 billion to accounts in bermuda in 2017 as part of a complex tax avoidance scheme that saved the tech giant billions of dollars in revenue. the scheme involved funneling money through google ireland holdings and a dutch shell company based in bermuda, where corporations pay no income tax. the scheme, known as the "double irish, dutch sandwich," is legal, although ireland's government has said it will close a loophole allowing the arrangement in 2020. president trump is reportedly preparing to alter federal anti-discrimination rules in a far-reaching rollback of civil rights protections. the changes wou

yesterday, new year's day, is when ryan zinke left. today, we got a nice reminder that the acting replacement for him at the interior department is an oil industry lobbyist. yesterday was also departure day for defense secretary james mattis. the acting replacement for him we got spotlighted today is an executive from boeing, a major defense contractor. he sat next to the president today. at one point i thought he swallowed his tongue and might need physical help, but i think he's okay. yesterday was also departure day for u.n. ambassador nikki haley. today was a good reminder that her designated successor is a host from "fox and friends." yesterday was also departure day for white house chief of staff john kelly, whose acting replacement is -- first of all, that's a weird thing in itself. there's not such thing as an acting white house chief of staff. white house chief of staff is a job that the president picks somebody for. it's not like there's a confirmation process that makes someone graduate from acting in the role to really hold

rule e changes wewere d in the federal register on friday, just two weeks after interior secretary ryan zinke was forced to step down amid 17 federal ininvestigations into os sususpected ethics v violationsd corruption. in california, the two-year-old boy whose yemeni mother was banned from entering the u.s. due to the trump administration travel ban, died friday. abdullah hassan, who was an american citizen, had a rare brain disorder and was being treated in the u.s., but his mother shaima swileh had to sue in order to get a waiver to travel because she was from yemen -- one of the five majority-muslim countries that are barred from entering the u.s. they were reunited just over a week before the toddler's death. this is abdullah hassan's father ali hassan. because myere today government failed our family. i am a u.s. citizen. my son is a u.s. citizen. kept my wife from coming to the u.s. for over a year. it forced me to choose between my son's health and keeping our familyly together. we know our son did not die inin vain. -- one to our struggle the people affected by the libya,ban from yem

he replaced ryan zinke last month and serving on a temporary basis, patrick shanahan, he replaced generaltis who resigned last month after the president announced he was pulling troops in 30 days in syria. whitaker has been serviing as attorney general. the president nominated william barr as a permanent replacement. the president indicates that he'll name andrew wheeler to head the agency. of course we know what happens to the first head of epa. and jonathan cohen after nikki haley leaves at the end of the year. >>> why would he be okay with acting? >> no confirmation needed. >> i stop figuring out why he likes the things he likes. >> because if it is acting it is not a giant news headline. it is time to send them out. basically lieke for the presidet it is always audition ing. >> we are on day 17 of the government shutdown. you are watching "velsh "velshi & ruhle" here on msnbc. (vo hand) can we talk? we used to play so beautifully together. now... we can barely play anything... even cards with the girls. (vo) if you have bent fingers and can't put your hand flat, talk to your doctor. i

mattis for now exacting secretary of defense pat shanahan to the president's right and filling ryan zinke's po post, to his left. they're general who is the president often called his most treasured advisers. but after two years in office, the president seems eager to minimize those military minds, ignoring kellyies advice and listen to what he said about mattis moments ago. >> i gave our generals all the money they wanted. they didn't do such a great job in afghanistan. general mattis was so thrilled. but what's he done for me? how has he done in afghanistan? not too good. as you know, president obama fired him and essentially so did i. >> to be clear, james mattis resigned in protest. with me is peter bergen, who has an op-ed on cnn.com about the president's war with his generals. clearly the president is peeved over mattis' departure and how it all went down with that resignation letter. they were not able to see eye to eye on syria or afghanistan for that matter. but what do you make of the president's criticism? >> it's startling because go back two years, jim mattis, a retired four st

the new acting secretary david bernhart took over after ryan zinke left. now they are examining whether zinke lied to inspector general investigators. rick, kareen, bret and nick are still here. drain the swamp was a campaign promise. is this what happens when you put a new york state developer in charge? >> it was almost as laughable as getting mexico to pay for the wall. we should be discriminating. patrick shanahan was a terrific executive at boeing. he turned the 787 program around. never intended to be the secretary of defense. that happened because jim mattis chose to resign. alex aczar at health and human services has a long record in government. he was deputy of the department, 10 or 15 years ago. so we should be careful about who we're calling -- who we're calling lobbyists, but it tells you something about the ethical culture of the trump administration and once again, a president who delivers the opposite of what he promised. >> is it just the president, everything about him is just an empty promise? he puts his name on buildings he didn't build

the: we spoke about interior appropriations bill let's talk about the secretary of the interior, ryan zinke stepped down, who would you like to see in that position and what would that person need to bring to the operation? guest: i'm not going to name a name, no-name surfaces in particular that we are looking at. but i can tell you that as one of the previous collars discussed, we need an interior secretary -- previous caller discussed, we need an interior secretary that protects the land, so far 2 million acres of land has been taken away from protection. it is tragic. no other president in the history of our country has reversed and used the antiquities act to not protect our public land. this administration also has energy dominance agendas. they are leasing oil and gas all over the west and right near national parks, right at the doorstep of national parks. they are putting in place wildlife policies that will not protect wildlife and will harm them long-term. we need an interior secretary who will protect wildlife, protect resources, ensure that we are conserving our public lands and

you can talk about ryan zinke and pruitt and wilbur ross. i mean, nepotism, giving at security clearances. the democrats have taken over the house now, must really be puzzling hard what to focus on. deutsche bank, the president of the united states has, owes hundreds of millions of dollars to a foreign bank that said regulatory trouble with the justice department here for a number of reasons, including a scandal of the poem which might have involved russian money-laundering. so you focus on that, you focus on the emoluments, the payments. and so going back to the russian deal, i think under any other administration, under any other set of circumstances, people would've been screening holy hell, and even republicans would have. but they have made a strategic calculation, the republican party, that they are going to tie themselves to the mast of the u.s. as trump and write it or go down with it. >> host: welcome to booktv. this is our in-depth program every first sunday of the month. we feature one author to talk about his or her body before.
