sure they could confirm an epa administrator this year. scott, we have seen a lot of other top white house officials resign after a controversy. this is not even a complete list there on the side of the screen in terms of the controversies involving pruitt. this is all we could fit, though, in the graphic. pruitt seems to be held to a different standard than other trump appointees, no? well, he s, again, like i said, he has been in the president s favor because i think the president believes he has done one of the most effective jobs in the cabinet of enacting the president s agenda on the deregulation front. i actually think a lot of the rage against scott pruitt has nothing to do, frankly, with ethics or scandals or whatever you want to call it. it has to do with the fact that he is effectively deconstructing the obama-era rules at the epa that were anti-growth, anti-business and that president trump railed against on the campaign trail. so, the one thing he s got going in his fa
faced and this not only shows he has faced these issues currently in his current position but a track record of it going back to his days as a state senator in oklahoma. but despite all of this, what we have seen from the president is, you know, reluctance really to dismiss scott pruitt at all or to put him on ice. the president and scott pruitt have met several times since these stories have come out and the president has come out of that completely backing his epa administrator. a big reason why is because he is accomplishing a lot of his goals on his agenda. you know? the deregulation front has been huge at epa and scott pruitt, of course, has been very much a force behind that. as of now, there is no indication that the president, that anything is actually going to change his mind or his view about his epa administrator despite the continuation of the stories we have seen. thank you all. thank you. good morning. today on state of the union, kellyanne conway and bob
hotel so they give the president emoluments. but nobody get something $50 a night for a room or condo in the washington, d.c. unless you are the secretary of the environmental protection agency. unless it s a lobbyist s wife. he should be fired for this. this is unacceptable. never would have happened i ner saw that kind of thing in the bush white house. the white house was asked about the epa chief scott pruitt and his apartment deal today. watch this. confidence in the epa administrator at this point. the president thinks he is doing a good job particular on the deregulation front. but we are taking it serious lyn a and looking into it we ll let you know. richard just said he should be fired, when you hear that you think fire friday? or fire day as we call it? is pruitt gone by the end of the week? no, i don t think so. i think as the press secretary
never would have happened i ner saw that kind of thing in the bush white house. the white house was asked about the epa chief scott pruitt and his apartment deal today. watch this. confidence in the epa administrator at this point. the president thinks he is doing a good job particular on the deregulation front. but we are taking it serious lyn a and looking into it we ll let you know. richard just said he should be fired, when you hear that you think fire friday? or fire day as we call it? is pruitt gone by the end of the week? no, i don t think so. i think as the press secretary there said, the president must be happy with what skroot scott pruitt is doing with the ep. a because he has been one of the most effective cabinet officers as rolling back the obama regulatory regime. this is the core difference between pruitt and say shulkin at the v.a. pruitt delivered results to the trump white house whereas vulgen was failing at the v.a. i think the president has to
sanders said about pruitt yesterday. does the president have confidence in the epa administrator at this point? the president thinks that he s done a good job, particularly on the deregulation front. but again, we take this seriously and are looking into it and will let you know when we finish. we are looking into it. that s almost like the white house backing a way a little. two nights ago president trump called pruitt to say i have your back. when you have the full faith and confidence with the president, you re in trouble. when you re backing away, saying he s looking into it, she might have fired him from the podium. i don t think he survives this. the fact that he says $50 a night in washington, d.c. is market rate, like, i would love to get that rate. where do you get the rate? airbnb. airbnb, you re on a bunk bed with 17 roommates in a bridge in a van down by the river. there you go. there it is.
