He Went SILENT After THIS!

Who is the arch being built for?I think most of us understand there's a struggle out there because of this administration's economic and energy policies.And while you are slashing just about every other part of the Department of Interior's budget, including for national parks, you have spent a lot of the department's time, resources, and taxpayer dollars to serve Donald Trump's vision.vanity.You put his face on National Park passes.You're helping him build a billion -dollar ballroom.

You're letting him paint the reflecting pool blue on a no -bid contract.You're building a 250 -foot Arch de Trump that will overshadow our veterans' final resting place.So can you just confirm, you know, with this arch specifically, who is this arch for?Who's it being built for?

I think you're probably aware that there's been no final agency action around building something on a site.

That was not my question about technicality on final agency action.Who's it being built for?

It's not a technicality.

This is my question, Mr. Secretary.I'm sorry, that's the way it works.Who is the arch being built for?

The frame of your question is that there has been an approved proposal and something is actually being built.

Let's forget about final agency action and other legalese.There is a proposal to build this arch.Who is it for?

There is a discussion about it.I wouldn't say there's not a proposal.Who is it for?

Well, for the American people, you may not be aware of this, but actually, I'm sure you are aware.Donald Trump was asked this question specifically on the record, and he said this arch is for him.He said his answer was me.We can enter that into the record by unanimous consent if you'd like, but I'm pretty sure you're aware of that.
