he would have had to share with someone other than his daughter. in a statement a spokesman cited aid finding by an epa ethics officer which was apparently dated today, the day the story broke, to argue there s nothing to see here. demonstrator pruitt s housing arrangement for himself and family was not a gift and consistent with fort worth ethics regulations. tonight there s another odd twist to the story. last year, pruitt s security detail broke down the door of the condo when it was believed he was unconscious and needed to be rescued he was reportedly discovered waking up from a nap. epa used public money to reimburse the condo s owner for the damage. jennifer is energy environment reporter at bloomberg news. a great piece of reporting. so you ve got this it looks like a sweetheart deal, not a fair market deal that the administrator is taking advantage of.
we already have or they would have happened already. this deal is still 10 years or so of less nuclear development maybe and that s better than an even worse deal or no deal or wrecking the whole thing which is the kind of work they re capable of doing. dagen: gary b., but i was watching the stock market which i know you do and you had every market deal hitting an all-time high on friday. this will hurt european businesses if you cutoff deals more than it will hurt american companies, at this point except for maybe boeing. gary: exactly but on the flip side dagen i think this will help worldwide economy because it s going to be a safer , if we get something different agreement if you will done. you know, i want to go back to jessica made a point that says she always favors diplomatic deals. you know, jessica even way before you were born, we were doing a diplomatic deals
