Is this from Bill Maher accurate?

[urbanlegendfanatic]

Bill Maher made some pretty spectacular claims about Trump's new cabinet. I would like Snopes to find out how accurate they are. I'm enclosing a link to the show. It starts at 27:10. Sorry if I spelled their names wrong - I'm not that familiar with the men.

* Rick Perry just found out he was in charge of the nukes (23:00)
*Andy Puzder not only doesn't want to raise the minimum wage he also wants to
deny fast food workers their rights to breaks and paying overtime.
* Tom Price thinks abortion is murder, gays shouldn't get married, doesn't believe in public health care, doesn't think HIV causes aids and bought stock in a company that makes hip implants then passed a bill that benefits companies that make hip implants.
* The guest ( I didn't catch her name) says at one point that one of the members of his new cabinet threw a 90 year old woman out of her house for owing 27 cents. I didn't catch where on the tape she said it so I didn't get his name but it's on the same show. That's the one I'm most interested in.

Re: Rick Perry
He has said publicly that he has changed his mind/or was wrong about wanting to abolish the Dept of Energy, however:

The last one is about Steven Mnuchin, Trump's pick for Secretary Treasury:

If you believe in science, human rights, education, or the importance of a free press, all of Trump's picks for Cabinet heads are appalling.

You left out "competence".

Thank you for replying. I think it's important to keep this thread going since Bill is going to keep this segment up all year and since he is a comedian it can come across as hyperbole for a punch line. I hope Snopes will let me. This week he just said that the two people he named for office didn't know anything about their office - I already knew that about them (Rick Perry and the education lady).

OK - According to Bill Maher we can now do the following thanks to Trump's new bills. Anyone know anything about this?
-Sell guns to the severely mentally ill
-Mining companies can dump their toxic waste into a stream
-Pastors can endorse politicians from the pulpit
-Oil companies don't have to report the bribes from third world dictators
-Financial advisors no longer have to act in the customer's best interests and can rip them off.
