Energy Secretary Rick Perry explained on Friday that he was picked by President Trump to sit on the National Security Council because of the broad spectrum of national security issues his department handles.

“There’s probably a lot of reasons that the Secretary of Energy needs to be sitting at that table when decisions are made. There are mirative tentacles, if you will, that go very deep and very broad out of the Department of Energy that effect the security of our country,” Perry said.
