what they are building for scott pruett is just what the contract calls a privacy booth for the ad -- administrator where he will be safeguarded by 18 body guards and to which he will be thrown -- flown on one of several private jets. if it not epa administrator scott pruett who gets the attention next, it may instead turn to interior secretary ryan who doesn't always use a horse. for his commute sometimes he pays for a private jet flight on an aircraft owned by an executive from an oil and gas exploration company in wyoming. while as interior secretary, he's also moving to give away more federally controlled public land for oil and gas exploration. that one private jet flight, the taxpayers paid for on the oil and gas executives' plane, that one started in las vegas where secretary zinky had been giving a motivational speech to a hockey team owned by his biggest campaign donor. it ended in montana. at his house. and taxpayers paid for that to be a private jet flight on an oil executive's plane. secretary zinky charged taxpayers to pay for republican fundraisers. and then there were t

scott pruett, first time in washington. zinke, one-term member. tom price is the one ten years ago railing against this stuff. it was like -- it was obvious hypocrisy. >> and really -- feels like he just got caught up in the culture of this administration. >> what it feels like. >> i think the president sent a message today that he doesn't necessarily really think this dee behavior is bad. >> said optics. >> doesn't like when out in public is caught. >> i want to push back on pruitt. you seem like you're not -- >> i know the lawyer at hhs, the spokesperson, personal staff of the secretary. i want bobby jindal, something with big brains to come in, big problems with health care, not sabotaged. didn't work from the beginning. jerry rigged, falling apart. bush back on pruitt. studied about him, interested in the epa. my son works there. those four trips approved by the gc, going to the bottom of oklahoma in one to meet with stakeholders president obama never cared about. wetland people, the water of the united states rollback. by all means throw atte

and especially under this president who has put someone who is an ally, scott pruett, a long-time ally of the chemical industry, in charge of the epa, they have gutted the environmental justice program. they are making it real hard for the science to come out of the epa, there are lots of staff positions that have gone unfilled, which are just letting people leave and not carrying whether they're doing good and necessary work. this is a disaster that i think is going to expose a lot of what has happened in the trump administration. and a lot of the republican philosophy toward climate, toward justice. toward the economy, and toward disaster. it's really going to open a lot of eyes. i think it will open the eyes of some of the republicans in texas as well. >> how is it to your mind? humor me for a second. how is it to your mind, joan, that the republicans will continue to deny the science? how will they with a straight face continue to say climate change is a hoax? how will they continue to say that global warming is a hoax? it's one thing to have a political view, and deny science but

other cabinet members tonight, interior secretary ryan zinke, treasury secretary steve mnuchin and scott pruett and we've learned chief of staff john kelly is now personally approving travel of all cabinet secretaries. so this is clearly a focus of the trump administration tonight. >> he is really trying to get a handle on this thing. >> the military precision that he has. >> thank you, pete. we know you'll be following this for a while. >>> the united states naval ship comfort is on its way to puerto rico the hospital ship left norfolk, virginia, this afternoon and should arrive tuesday. on board? medical supplies for at least 30 days and more than 800 service members. the need there certainly cannot be overstated. take a look. >> my insulin ends today and i need it to stay alive. >> so many people have either run out of medicine or just lost it when the hurricane barreled through. some local doctors are going old school setting up house calls. pharmacists are also hitting the road loading up their cars with life saving medicine. >>> president trump said today his administration was doing a ve

. >> that is an incredibly powerful person in that is saudia after go it is vital to see what scott pruett is doing. when you and off every is sovereign -- rails insurance fell he was announcing changes to the federal regulations to bat for aqaba of the executive order from 2015 the u.s. spending on infrastructure and that was titled the federal risk management standard eight tower had donald trump overturn that barely two weeks ago and most americans and not even know that. six of the future and that they refuse to learn for what has happened. that has been shameful and develop that occur so now what is your question and answer?. >> this regulatory catastrophe is huge. clearly these are the people and then to ben chen mitch mcconnell by a very compliant congress so with that gerrymandering and suppression that is going space blind in of wondering if you can talk about the wisconsin supreme court case or those other institutions? >> you have a lot of the table. >> just follow what is happening on the issue of gerrymandering to find the address that core democracy issues one person that the

cabinet secretary zinke and scott pruett, it's these kinds of stories. it's not just price. it's several others. it is not tolerable for the drain the swamp voter. >> even before this came out on, tom price had basically become an invisible person in the health care debate. he was seen as helpful getting that bill through the house. when it came to the senate, he was involved july. that failed to push. he got flack from senators and governors who felt like he was not delivering honest, reliable, persuasive data. >> so very quickly, we just need to talk about another person in the president's inner circle, jared kushner using, as it turns out, private e-mail. i wish we had a sound effect for hypocrisy alert. we need the bell to ring. how is this going to go over? >> i mean, this is not good, right? it looks like it's something they're trying to hide. his lawyers say, no, with looked into the e-mail account. we didn't think it was there. no problem. we will disclose whatever you want. the fact that they weren't fully forth coming at the outset when the administration tried to

doing their work and instead provide him a 24 hour a day, seven day a week security detail and scott pruett apairs to be using his travel budget to fly back and forth every five minutes because he appears to be laying the groundwork for a run for governor. you and i would be subsidizing that run for governor every time he takes government transportation to go back home. then there is the treasury secretary. with that's entertainment. the treasury secretary famously requested a military plane to take him and his bride on their european honeymoon vacation. they didn't end up using a military plane for that purpose but did -- he did take his new wife with him on a big government jet to fort knox. where they quote inspected the gold. [ laughter ] >> they then enjoyed watching the eclipse since that trip happens to have provided then a prime viewing opportunity to see the eclipse in totality from fort knox. this is where the president started describing his private beach club as the southern white house. and then he doubled the rates for people to join that golf club. that beach club. donald tru

devastation, his expertise dealing with disasters and more, and while unleading supplies asked about scott pruett'sthis is not the appropriate time to talk about the changing climate. >> one of the epa administrators seemed to say this was not the right time to talk about climate change. obviously this is a passionate issue for you. in particular. what did you make of that comment? >> i don't know where he's coming from, and i think we can spend our time focusing on the future rather than just criticizing him, but what's clearly happening in this world. the oceans are warmer, meaning the storms are bigger. that's where they get their energy. regardless how you call it, climate change, environmental or the not. whatever you call it. the fact of the matter is out of the last 17 hottest years on record, 16 of them have been since 2001. >> why can't that be a unification point, everybody agrees, yeah. smarter with storm prep whether you agree this is man made or not? >> number one, it's the president's job, leaders of every country's job to explain to the public. even if we're not sure, the consequence

to simply pay attention to the man's tweets or press conference or rally but vital to see what scott pruett is doing. it is strietle vital to see what elaine is doing and vital to understand that -- barely a week ago at that horrible press conference where donald trump went off the rails on charlottesville, he was announcing changes to our federal regulations and approach to these things in which he was -- gutting barack obama executive order from 2015 to make sure that u.s. spending on infrastructure took in the concerns about climate change and storm surges and flooding. and that, that obama order was titled the federal flood risk management standard. and elaine chao and donald trump overturned that barely two weeks ago and most americans didn't even know it. that didn't affect houston. this is -- this is for the future. but let me warn you -- that what they did what they did was to say we refuse to learn from what is happening to this country. that is shameful and you can't let that occur in the dark without people knowing it be. i want to pay anxious to donald trump but eve attention to

you've got three more officials there, scott pruett, ryan zinke, and steve mnuchin under the spotlightor their use of private aircraft. how concerned are you that this is more than an isolated incident with tom price? >> i'm not saying what tom did was right, but i've known tom to be honest and hard working guy. the optics are not good and we want to be resourceful with every taxpayer dollar coming to washington d.c. this brings us to the point why we're trying to cut taxes. i think that people locally can spend money lot better than washington d.c. we kind of get lost. when we don't earn it, we don't appreciate it as much as those that earn the dollars and when washington d.c. gets a whole lot of money sent there, it tend know the to be as personal as spending your own money and that's why we want to do the tax cuts and get them back in the local government. leland: well, fair to say that if you're going to cut taxes, you've got to cut spending at some point because there's less money to spend. >> sure. leland: quickly, on this point though, do you feel as though congress needs to hol

it's scott pruett. we talked about him. steve mnuchin. >> vos. >> that's all under review. now a fourth senior member of the trump cabinet is acknowledging flights on expensive private and military planes. politico reports interior secretary ryan zinke has taken several chartered flights including a $12,000 trip to his hometown in montana, as well as flights to two caribbean islands. >> what is wrong with these people? >> a department spokeswoman said the trips were precleared by the ethics office. in most cases these are small government conservatives who talk about waste, fraud and abuse, protecting the taxpayer. i don't know. how do you begin to explain it? >> one word, richard painter. he was the ethics adviser during the bush years. i couldn't have had a soda with mark helprin without having to prove that i'd paid for my own soda. the idea that these people are getting on private jets -- here's the other thing. when donald trump says that i could shoot someone on fifth avenue and my base would forgive me, he's largely correct. but that does not extend to his crony cabi
