he s got the booth, the maxwell smart booth. he gets $50 a night rent in washington, d.c. then we find out that actually the people, the lobbyists that gave it to him actually did have business before him. it goes on and on. i don t understand why they re suggesting that this guy is the only person that can cut regulations at the epa. i mean, you can find other people who are just as ideologically conservative as this man. i just wonder, is there, does he have a sponsor? does he have is there a big-money is he a sheldon adai adelson guy. is there somebody who gives trump and the republican party hundreds of millions of dollars that is protecting scott pruitt? that s the only thing that makes sense here. there s always be a appalling angle. ....

Boss he couldn t use lights and sirens to get through the traffic any quicker. the unnamed agent told him he could only do it in an emergency. what s your response to that. the lights and sirens, we had that with the cha any administration, certainly tied up traffic to the vice president s house. but for the epa administrator, that s ridiculous, where is he going and coming from? the $50 a night room he s got with a lobbyist, he s busy trying to deregulate the energy industry. this is the kind of thing the american people are fed up with in washington. they haven t drained the swamp, they made it worse. his scandals seem to be piling up, the first class flights, security detail, the 50 bucks a night rent, what ....
Embarrassing themselves. well, there s a couple things going on with scott pruitt. the first one i think is that he walked into this job, saw all these people that could afford that lifestyle bike betsy devos who s paying for her own jet out of her own money. and what you re seeing is someone who s trying to be an elitist but doesn t have the money for it. if you wanted a nice apartment in washington, d.c. what you shouldn t do is get a $50 a night and what you shouldn t do is be late on your $50 a night rent. how is that possible that you had to be badgered by the landlord that s also a lobbyist. it s incredible headlines but i would go back to what sam said in that his undoing, he s going to be looking bad in the media. anyone who watched that fox interview where he said i didn t have a sweet heart deal, what are you talking about? that was a key moment and i think while the president is saying he loves scott pruitt. sarah sanders was like we re looking into it. all the people arou ....
