but i prayed with scott. i've seen scott struggle with hard decisions that affect our state's future. i've seen scott listen to people from all sides of an issue. and i've seen him take difficult stands. i think he'll be an excellent e.p.a. administrator. and i think he'll make some wise choices to not only protect what's happening now, but to be able to help protect us for the future. you see, scott's a husband and a dad as well. and he cares also about the future of our country. and i think he's going to go after it and to be able to be an excellent administrator in the days ahead. mr. president, i ask that i have a second moment to speak and be separated out. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. lankford: mr. president, quick moment just to be able to reflect. i have a staff member named brian burkey. he's running off. he's been quite a, quite a leader. he's leaving us to be able to take on a new task and a new role. since 2010, he's been a tremendous asset to the united states senate. scott burke

scott: from day one, sharing as a person. how i believe is a leader, whether you are leading the epa or a business, you have to listen and learn and then make decisions. i wanted to send a message, there are various important things the epa does that cross t we do for this country. we have over 1300 superfund sites across the country. those are sides put on the national party list, like the one in portland oregon that have -- the communities have had water issues with respect to the hanover nuclear facility for decades. the epa has not cleaned it up. there is important work to protect and provide leadership in the space. what's happened is the previous of menstruation was so focused on climate change and on co2 that some of the priorities are left behind. up thoseean communities. we come as republicans, don't have anything to be apologetic about when it -- with respect to the environment. we always believed that you can grow jobs, grown economy while being a good steward of the economy -- of the environment. that's what we ar

rebecca: good question, scott. [laughter] there was no garbage collection [laughter] there was no garbage collection in the 18th century. they had to get rid of their garbage in some way or another. if you had a hole in the backyard, like an old cistern, any of those empty holes you might throw your trash in. when they built buildings with deep basements, they would've sliced off the top of those holes, those shafts. but that was not always the case. in philadelphia, they were lined with brick. they are these long, narrow shafts lined with brick locked up at the -- lopped off at the top. what we are looking at is the trash concentrated in the bottom. we dig it layer by layer because it is not clear that it along to one family. we have to date the layers. we do a stratigraphic way. you dig layer by layer. all of these things came out of one layer. all of these things cannot one layer. and the layer is what we linked up who was living there when the stuff was thrown out. scott: fortunately, fashion has changed that a

senate went along with coretta scott king's wishes. they rejected that nominee for a federal judgeship. his name was jeff sessions, he went on to be a u.s. senator from alabama, he's now nominated to be attorney general of the united states and tonight elizabeth warren took to the senate floor to express her opposition to the nomination of jeff sessions to be a.g. and she decided to wield i think what most people would agree is the most devastating rhetorical weapon she had at her disposal, she had that same letter from the widow of dr. martin luther king making the case against jeff sessions 30 years ago which democrats say is the same case which could be made against him now. result of that, as a result of elizabeth warren quoting coretta scott king, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell moved to cut her off, to end her speech due to a breach of senate rules. >> they are -- >> majority leader? >> mr. president, the senator has impugned the motives and conduct of our colleague from alabama as warned by the chair. i call the senator t

that's the scott pruitt who would become administrator of the e.p.a., and it's the same scott pruitt who as attorney general of oklahoma fought the tremendous progress made by the obama administration at every turn, taking legal action against the e.p.a. no fewer than 14 times. while he was in office, he worked hand in hand with oklahoma's largest energy companies to roll back regulation that are vital to the health and well-being of the american people. not just the people of oklahoma, as bad as that would be. but of all americans, all of our planet. and when he worked hand in hand with the oklahoma energy industry, those common bonds of purpose and work would be well illuminated by these e-mails that today would be disclosed and maybe some of those conflicts of interest will be revealed and dramatized by those e-mails. that is why we must wait to have this confirmation vote. he sued to try and block efforts to reduce nationwide emissions of methane, of greenhouse gas roughly 30 times more effective at trapping heat than carbon dioxide. he sued about the clean power plan. he took th

somebody was using it to attack scott pruitt. but this picture had nothing to do with scott pruitt. this was the e.p.a. led by gina mccarthy. my response to the spill was that the e.p.a. should be held accountable to the same level in which e.p.a. holds private businesses accountable. i think that's a pretty good standard. but if the e.p.a. is going to -- they make sure that somebody lives up to a standard, that the e.p.a. live up to the same standard. that basic standard for the e.p.a. to me, because the agency called the spill, it simply must apply the same requirements to itself that it does to a private company. so it was with great disappointment but very little surprise that when the e.p.a. decided to not subject itself to those same standards they walked away from the promises that they made. sure the e.p.a. had standards under barack obama. they were double standards. the obama administration's e.p.a.'s refusal to not receive and process the personal injury or economic loss claims arising out of this spill at the gold king mine in southwest colorado is appalling. and i simpl

i too support scott pruitt. let me say, i think objective observers who watched his testimony would have to agree that it was an impressive display of knowledge and patience. attorney general pruitt demonstrated that he is intelligent, articulate, thoughtful, patient, and knowledgeable. and i think, because of that, he will eventually be confirmed. we are going to get through this. the people on the other side of the dais are friends of mine. i'm disappointed in them today. frankly, i was disappointed in their conduct during the hearing. taking a complicated issue and asking the witness to answer yes or no, yes or no, when we all know that those issues didn't call for a yes or no answer. putting up a poster of campaign contributors to the republican attorney general's association to somehow suggest that that in -- impeached the ability of attorney general pruitt to be administrator of the environmental protection agency. it was silly. it was beneath them. again, we will get past this. but it was a disappointment

they were like the scotts, and i think the comparison with the scotts in the late 18th century is very, very relevant. these new ideas of politeness, what constitutes a gentleman had a special appeal for all the outlying, under developed provinces of the greatest british world, for the scotts as well as those leaders in north america. the similarities are extraordinary between the scotts and the north americans. both of them, both the americans and the scotts were provincial people living on the edges of the metropolitan english world. both provisional societies lacked the greater hereditary noble families that were at the ruling center of the political life. when the union with england was formed in 1707, all the great noble families in scotland moved south to london where the action was leaving scotland under control of the minor gentry. in both north american scotland, unlike metropolitan england, the upper most levels of the aristocracy tended to be dominated by the minor gentry, people like washington and jefferson in america and people like boswell and hume and adam smith in scot

scott pruitt has sued the e.p.a. to overturn standards to curb mercury and other toxic air pollutants, standards that would prevent 11,000 premature deaths and up to 130,000 asthma attacks per year. he sued to void standards to reduce soot and smog pollution, projecting to prevent 34,000 premature deaths and almost 400,000 asthma attacks every year. he sued unsuccessfully to overturn the e.p.a.'s scientific endangerment determination that carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping air pollutants are harmful. and he even sued to block limits on water pollution into the chesapeake bay, which has no connection to oklahoma. scott pruitt has been a crusad crusader. he has been a crusader on behalf of the energy industry against environmental protection. and he would probably tell you that there is a choice to be made between protecting our environment and protecting our economy. that's ridiculous. that's patently ridiculous. if we don't protect our planet, if we don't protect the quality of our air and the quality of our wate

but i didn't come to talk about the appoint tkwr-plt of scott -- appointment of scott pruitt. i came to talk about something that we can all agree on. in fact, the president and i agree on this -- and i think everyone here agrees on this almost unanimously, which is that american jobs matter. putting americans back to work in manufacturing is one of the most critical things that we can do here in the senate. making sure that our people have an opportunity to succeed, have an opportunity to participate, have an opportunity to produce goods and services which can be exported, which can grow the wealth of our economy and grow the economy of our country. last week i joined president trump in a small bipartisan lunch. we had a chance to talk about a variety of issues. and there are many issues that divide us, but this issue nights us. i talked to the president about the need to get the export-import bank up and running. i talked to him about the kpo*eutheexport-import bank andw important it is for the american manufacturing worker. the great news is that president trump agrees and

i will not vote to confirm scott pruitt. but i will say that if my colleagues move forward with this nomination, they can be sure that we will hold mr. pruitt accountable for decisions that hurt the health of new mexico families. that includes making sure mr. pruitt rights the wrongs inflicted on communities in the four corners region by the gold king mine spill. it's going to take many years to clean up the legacy of 100 years of hard rock mining and the impacts on our watersheds in northwestern new mexico and on the navajo nation. in new mexico we have saying, water is life. the water we drink and the air we breathe are not goshable. my -- negotiable. my constituents cannot afford to see the e.p.a. stop working to protect us from air pollution, to conserve our water resources and to work to reverse the damaging effects of climate change. madam president, i would reserve the balance of my time. a senator: mr. president? the presiding officer: is not sphrr montana. mr. daines: thank you, madam president. i can tell you that

of course, scott pruitt supports that industry. it's oklahoma's major industry, and it helps the entire nation. so i think, if you look back at what president trump said in the campaign, he said, i want to get rid of the regulatory rampage that is killing investment and jobs in our resource and manufacturing industries, and i want to make america the world's energy superpower. so i think scott pruitt will have a vital role in shrinking that regulatory rampage. >rampage. >> sreenivasan: does his thinking change when it's just not oklahoma and a specific industry he's protecting as state's attorney general, but a country which has many different sources of energy and a much larger constituency? >> yes, but the trump campaign wasn't just about oklahoma and the oil and gas industry. it was about rebuilding our resourcing manufacturing industries across the heartland of america, and that is going to require putting e.p.a. regulations back in their place so they're concerned with air and water pollution and not destroying jobs. >> sreeni

they were like the scotts, and i think the comparison with the scotts in the late 18th century is very, very relevant. the new ideas of politeness, what constitutes a gentleman have a special appeal for all the outlying, under developed provinces of the greatest british world, for the scotts as well as those leaders in north america. the similarities are extraordinary between the scotts and the north americans. both of them, both the americans and the scotts were provincial people living on the edges of the metropolitan english world. both provisional societies lacked the greater hereditary noble families that were at the ruling center of the political life. when the union with england was formed in 1707, all the great noble families in scotland moved south to london where the action was leaving scotland under control of the minor gentry. in both north american scotland, unlike metropolitan england, the upper most levels of the aristocracy tended to be dominated by the minor gentry, people like washington and jefferson in america and people like boswell and hume and adam smith in scotl

i too support scott pruitt. let me say, i think objective observers who watched his testimony would have to agree that it was unimpressive -- it was on impressive display of knowledge and patience. attorney general pruitt demonstrated that he was intelligent, and -- articulated, thoughtful, patient, and knowledgeable. because of that he will eventually be confirmed. we are going to get through this. the people on the other side of the aisle are friends of mine. i'm disappointed in them today. frankly, i was disappointed in hearingnduct during the . they were taking a complicated witness tosking the answer yes or no what we all know that those issues do not call for a yes or no answer your putting up a poster of campaign contributors to the republican attorney general's association that inow suggest that peach the ability of attorney to bel pruitt administrator of the epa. it was silly. it was beneath them. again, we will get past this. it was a disappointment to me. this action today by the democratic members of

>> reporter: scott, president trump broke with two decades of u.s. policy today, saying he would not insist on a two-state solution to the israeli-palestinian conflict, that means no longer commiting to the creation of a palestinian state that would exist peacefully alongside israel. here's the president. >> i thought for a while the two-state looked like it may be the easier of the two, but honestly, if bibi and if the palestinians, if israel and the palestinians are happy, i'm happy with the one they like the best. >> reporter: but president trump did bluntly say to netanyahu he needs to scale back on settlement construction on palestinian land, saying it's not helpful to peace and both sides do need to make compromises. netanyahu replied with a reference to mr. trump's book, "the art of the deal," and the two men had a warm relationship and talked about their long friendship, and this is really in stark contrast to the strained relations that netanyahu had with president obama. but, scott, palestinians say they have not had this same warm embrace.

trump's supporters here, scott. they said "give the president a chance." >> pelley: dean reynolds as we continue to listen to the people. dean, thank you. president harry truman once threatened a "washington post" critic, threatened to punch him in the nose, after he criticized truman's daughter's singing. trade, president trump said he was defending his daughter when he criticized nordstrom for dropping her clothing line. here's jericka duncan. >> reporter: in the midst of a busy day, the president of the united states found time to tweet this: last week, nordstrom announced it would no longer buy ivanka trump merchandise, based on the brand's performance. days before that announcement, nordstrom executives sent out this company-wide email, offering support to anyone affected by president trump's executive order on immigration. white house press secretary sean spicer. >> there's clearly an attempt for him to stand up for her because she is being maligned because they have a problem with his policies appropriate pre

jan. >> reporter: well, scott, we've just gotten a copy of this opinion. it's 29 pages. it appears to be unanimous. it's unsigned. all three judges in agreement rejecting the administration's arguments that it should reinstate that travel ban while the courts considered whether or not it was in fact constitutional. now, the trump administration had urged the appeals court to reinstate that ban, saying that courts typically give broad deference to the president on matters of national security. that's a pretty powerful argument. but the appeals court in this decision said, yes, while courts do give denchance to presidents, their decision are not unreviewable, and then it proceeded to review all the arguments against the travel ban that were being made by two states, washington and minnesota. and it looked at those arguments and the arguments were many constitutional arguments, including due process and in fact the religious ban amounted to rdiscrimination, and it concluded that there was no evidence that the government-- a strong likelihood that it would prevail on the mer

good thing you rushed the vote on scott pruitt. if scott pruitt does end up taking fall because of this growing scandal around him, he will be falling for a much greater height because of the way republicans rushed eed him the cabinet. that does it for us tonight. see you again tomorrow. now it's time for the last word with lawrence o'donnell. >> rachel, i have worked on tv dramas where we have tried to write cliff hangers at the end of a particular season or episode, but the cliff hanger you just

you feel like a person. >> scott bacon's trial begins. day one brings a huge development. i was out here smoking instead of being there for my son's winning shot. that was it for me. that's why i'm quitting with nicorette. only nicorette mini has a patented fast dissolving formula. it starts to relieve sudden cravings fast. every great why needs a great how. >>> inside wichita's sedgwick county jail, surveillance cameras caught antonio bell's brutal assault of antonio cooper. awaiting trial for second degree murder, bell threw cooper to the floor and continued beating him. cooper was transported to a local hospital. bell was treated in the jail's medical clinic for a minor wrist injury and placed in the segregation cell. >> i took him to the corner to talk to him and he spit on me. i kind of beat him up a little bit, kind of too bad. i wasn't meaning to, you know. i just kind of blacked out a little bit. it's all gas and no brakes, you know? i walked away once i seen the blood. i kind of snapped back. but like i said, i blacked out, you know. he wasn't my friend i would ha
