Transcripts For MSNBCW MSNBC Live With Stephanie Ruhle 20170327

Potentially get a few moderate democrats on board. Ryan under fire, conservative media turns on the house speaker. Why did the president ask people to watch a fox anchor say this . Paul ryan needs to step down as speaker of the house. We begin today with the white house being caught up in new questions in the growing controversy over russia and this time its the president s own soninlaw facing a senate grilling. I got a great team. Lets start right now with Peter Alexander who is live at the white house and this is all just coming out now. Now we knew Jared Kushner had had a meeting with the ambassador and what do we know about what the members of the Committee Want to talk to him about . Reporter we know that this is the Senate Intelligence committee that will interviewing Jared Kushner here in the white house aids close to the president telling me that kushner agreed to do this, he volunteered, in fact, to participate in this interview. What youre focusing on is some of the contacts kushner had in the campaign season. He was one of the lead gobetweens between the trump campaign, ultimately the transition and foreign governments. We already knew of at least one meeting he had with a Russian Ambassador but this morning as first reported by the the New York Times there was now a second meeting that took place in december where kushner at the request of kiss lee yack met with the state owned Development Bank according to folks at the white house. There was nothing wrong with their meeting which notable though because it was one of the banks who had been specifically sanctioned by the Obama Administration for russias interference not just in the election but also its inkurgs going into ukraine over the course of the last several years. For kushner this is notable because he is now the first member of this white house who will be speaking to the Senate Intelligence committee and obviously a very high ranking individual close to the president. To be clear, white house aids here specifically hope hicks one of the president s top aid tells me today he was glad to participate in this, that he has nothing to hide and hasnt done anything to wrong. I want to bring in my panel. Jennifer palmieri and she served in the clinton and obama white house. Also with me msnbc robert train yum with the bipartisan policy center. Good morning. The white house says its beautiful out here the nice fog overlooking the white house. The folks inside the west wing there up in the Communications Office say nothing happened, the meetings didnt go anywhere so robert trainum as a republican why not get out front of this, why do we have to find this drip, drip, drip . I dont know the answer to that. I have two theories, the first theory is that theyre just a little overwhelmed over there and they quite frankly do not know how to do press 101. So thats my best guess. My second hunch is they didnt know this was a big deal. They honestly thought just sitting down with the russian banker that had this has been going on i dont disagree with you. This is amateur hour in many ways and i just dont think they know any better. I really dont. Is that whats going on here . They dont know any better. I think they dont know any better. I think they dont know what they dont know. Its not as easy as it looks. The truth is that donald trump, his family, his businesses and his campaign was very cozy with russia, so theres probably a lot of more of these meetings they dont know about and this is why theyre going to be dealing with this for probably, you know, more than the next year. I imagine and why this drip is going to continue to happen and ultimately going to lead to an independent commission. How much of a distraction is this going to continue to be . You already have an administration that obviously had a huge debacle with health care. Should we do taxes or not because the finances of it have changed . Should we move on to infrastructure . You have the conservative right fighting with the moderates. How much of a disstraction is this going to be. It is a big distraction. Every new administration has to get its sea legs. Every new administration has its bumps along the road. Sea legs versus this is a bumpy time. However, it seems like the president fuels off this chaos. He fuels off these infighting factions within the white house. A lot of that is selfinflicted and whether or not the president along with the chiefofstaff can sit down and discipline this staff and the president to be able to get some legislative victories out there. You mentioned a few moments ago that the president appears with democrats to talk about tax reconciliation and Health Care Reform. There is a moment here that they can pivot. Can they get out of their own way . Can the democrats pivot . The problem is so much deeper than that. Donald trump didnt have a solution and paul ryans solution was not supported by the people who elected donald trump. Its a much and the democrats dont have any reason to work with donald trump but even if they did, theres just not 218 votes in that house for anything when it comes to health care or when it comes to taxes but i think whats really happened is what you have exposed is this much deeper fis sewer and what actually is going to help people who voted for donald trump. So youve got the republicans and the president s team putting health care in their rearview mirror. This weekend on meet the press told chuck that despite copping up short the president has shown he can lead. Take a listen. If anybody had any doubts about President Trumps ability to be the president , they should have been put to death absolutely. Cant close the deal . This is exactly what everybody said he couldnt do. He couldnt work with different groups within the Republican Party. This was the president being the president. What you saw this week that simply are a lot more rotten in washington than we thought. Casey hunt has more on that. And casey, literally minutes after we heard from the president on friday, one of his senior staff said to me, yes, were going to move on to tax reform, but its going to be a lot more difficult. Is that the general feeling on the hill and how many people are actually questioning whether that should be the next step . Reporter its absolutely going to be more difficult, chris. I think that theres pretty unified in thinking that tax reform is what they want to do. I get the sense from a lot of my sources that its really what they wanted to do all the way along. Its something where they feel like they have more republican agreement, theres more passion on both sides for doing it, there was they felt a political imperative to do obamacare first. We saw how that turned out. One of the consequences of how they set this up its aly bit procedural down in the weeds but they structured it so this health care thing was supposed to be the budget for this year and its very procedurally difficult for them to move on to tach reform. So theyre going to have to do a lot of juggling to figure that out. Its supposed to be part of the next budget. Simply that part of it is going to be difficult. It gives you a preview of how the entire saga might play out. If you thought Health Care Reform is complicated wait till you try to rewrite the tax code, the number of people are interested in doing that. I think thats going to be very challenging. I also wanted to pick up one thing that you were talking about with your panel, where are democrats going to be . Democrats learned a lot from how Mitch Mcconnell conducted himself during eight years of the obama presidency. He essentially put his foot down and refused to move it and cooperate with democrats. It was the strategy that won him back ma majorities when we started the obama then they passed health care among other things, struggled with the economy and wound up losing their majorities and now obviously we have republican control. So they watched how Mitch Mcconnell and other leaders handled that and i think youre going to see them essentially refuse to cooperate on any of this which means theyre going to have to get it done themselves, this first major test for the Republican Party was a failure. And jennifer, is that what the democrat should be doing . The American People are they going to continue to sit back for the next two years and say, washington is still broken. What do the democrats do . The person they hold responsible for washington being broken is the president so i think thats where the blame will go. You dont think theres blame on both sides . If there is if the white house comes forward with infrastructure plan that democrats can work with him on, thats something that they probably would be willing to entertain but thats just not going to happen because hes not going to be able to do that with his own republican majorities on both and the house and senate. It has been more than ten years since republican there was a Republican Congress working with a republican president. What were seeing again is the divisions within the Republican Party are so great that no matter what democrats do theyre really not going to be able even if they wanted to work with trump, youre not going to get enough republicans to agree to do that. He did blame the democrats. He called out nancy pea line of scrimmagi and Chuck Schumer. Saturday he whether he meant to do it or not he steered people to a fox news show where there was a call for paul ryan to step down. Sunday hes blaming the conservatives. So where do the republicans go . Suddenly the president s saying at least one part of what hes saying is we need to work with the democrats. Youre hearing people like Lindsey Graham say we need to work with the democrats. The democrats could be worked with but really . The reality is when you take a look at the Health Care Debacle is Many Democrats sat on the sidelines. What this president is doing and saying i cant get the House Freedom caucus on board with me. Let me walk across the aisle here. Maybe theres something on infrastructure. The last time the tax code was reformed was back in 1986. Its outdated. The question becomes can nancy pelosi and Mitch Mcconnell and donald trump sit down thoughtfully and figure this out. Even if theres middle class tax cuts, the the idea that this white house working with tax reform after the debacle on health care. You dont agree they can learn from their mistakes . Start with something smaller. Infrastructure is more manage bible. Its more manageable than tax reform. The idea that you could after what they just suffered that you could go to something thats big and complicated and within the Republican Party the divisions about people that support tax cuts how you would have middle class tax cuts and how you pay for them its a huge back. Is this subtle . Lets go to infrastructure first. Reporter it seems pretty clear that thats not in the cards right now. They made it clear. We heard from the secretary of the treasury, Steve Mnuchin last week saying they hope to have this comprehensive tax reform plan by this august. Theyre clearly focused on this. Its something President Trump has talked about. So i think its safe to say the tax reform is very high on the list and likely before infrastructure. This young presidency because it had the potential to bring in some democrats early on. Thanks very much. Jennifer, robert. Youre going to stay with me. Can the Republican Party Work Together or are the divisions just too deep . Well talk to a Republican Congressman trying to bridge the divide. Plus is the trump rally over . The early numbers at least dont look good. Were live in washington, d. C. Overlooking the white house. Umbrellas you need one of these. You wouldnt put up with an umbrella that covers you part way, so when it comes to pain relievers, why put up with just part of a day . Aleve, live whole not part.

Yesterday wasnt a victory for the American People, it was the victory for the status quo in washington, d. C. When i think the president s disappointed in the number of people that he thought were loyal to him that werent. Plenty of finger pointing to go around these days but keep in mind that all these parties will have a stake and a say in whatever President Trump decides to do next. Joining me now illinois Republican Congressman, good morning. You know better than anyone. Your party ran on repeal and replace health care. What do you do now . I think we move on to the next thing. We have two options here. We move on to tax reform. We need to try to reach out to democrats at least at the beginning. If they decide they dont want to work with us, thats another issue. There are at least maybe a dozen or two dozen people willing to work on tax reform. On health care we have to reach out to democrats to fix the system. We ran on repeal replace for a long time. I think we had a bill that we can argue about the merits of it. It was going to pingpong between the house and senate. We had a group of 30 people in the house called the House Freedom caucus that was upset because they didnt get to write the bill. You dont write bills as a caucus and then so thats where were at. It didnt go through. They own the loss of the bill and we move forward. You think they own it. You retweeted President Trumps knock on conservatives who he says saved obamacare, but is this where the Republican Party is now, you have to reject a pretty Significant Group and an Influential Group of your own party and try to make nice with the democrats . Is this an acknowledgement that the Republican Party is split, is broken . Well, look, i think its important to note theres about 30 of these folks. Theres 200 other members of the house. Were a very united party but these folks can deny us the ability to vote. We have two choices. We either continue to write bills to a group of people that is going to never, ever get to yes. Theyve been in existence for about three years and every time they have tried to come to the table they consistently move the goalpost and they did that on President Trump. They wanted President Trump to repeal preexisting conditions and kids staying on their health plans until 26. Hes not going to go. He ran on that and they knew he wasnt going there. We have two options. Either theyre going to have to see the light and understand that governings a little different than being an opposition or we have to reach out to democrats. It needs governing not more of the status quo. I would like a dollar for most people word, frankly congressman, say weve got to reform washington. Weve got to find a way to Work Together with the other party. Thats what you guys ran on. That washington was broken and that it needed to be fixed. But how do you do this . How do you do what hasnt been done and now you have a president whose calling names, the leaders of the democratic side of the house, how do you do what you say you want to do . Well, thats a tough thing. There is a great group of folks in the center, center right and center left in the house of representatives. Theres a group called no labels which brings those folks together. Im a part of that. Were going to have to bring the temperature down. Im not like pie in the sky guy. I dont believe youre going to stop name calling in washington or stop all partisanship and i dont believe were going to get nancy pelosi involved in our agenda because theres a political give me some names of people youve been talking to on the democratic side. I dont want to reveal them because they may lose their election. There are dozens of democrats and dozens if not hundreds of republicans that say there are big things we have to do. So should that maybe go first, congressman . Obviously. I think so now. When the talk was about tax reform, you felt there might be as much as a trillion dollars there that you could then put over into infrastructure. So should that be the next thing because what were hearing is tax reform, can that get done or you just going down the same path you went down with health care . I guess you dont know until you dont know. I hope were not going down the same path. I think there is an opportunity to do things in a bipartisan way. Its not tax reform is not as ideological as health care. Lets go with tax reform first. I think we have an opportunity to marry that together with infrastructure so you look at democrats and republicans who love infrastructure. You marry that together if possible with tax reform in one big reform package. Again, we dont know until we begin this process, but i hope we can. Im going to be part of the solution to hope we can get passed perpetual partisanship. It will always exist but try to find areas we can Work Together. Congressman, always good to talk to you. Any time, thanks. The stock market set to open just minutes from now. Its the first reaction to the president s defeat on health care and it is not looking pretty.

Its time now for your morning primer. Everything you need to know to start your day. We begin with breaking news this morning. Congressional aids confirming to nbc news the Senate Intelligence committee does plan to question President Trumps soninlaw and top adviser Jared Kushner. The Senate Judiciary Committee Votes this afternoon on judge Neil Gorsuchs nomination to the Supreme Court possibly sending it to the floor for the full vote. Democrats are trying to push todays vote back until next week. 60,000 people across russia marched in an anticorruption demonstration across the government. Police arrested at least 500 people in moscow alone. One person was killed, at least 15 people injured after shots rang out inside a cincinnati nightclub. Police are searching for multiple shooters. It is a historic final four. Gonzalez and South Carolina in it for the first time. Its the first for oregon in over 75 years. Meanwhile North Carolina needed a last second jumper to make it their second consecutive final four. That finish was unbelievable. And right now were waiting for wall street to react to the aftermath of the health care defeat. The opening bell on the new york stock exchange. Cnbcs dominic chu is watching the market and let me start with you, dominic. It looks like were set for a dip. We are. Just about down 150 points. Thats the way stock futures are indicating right now. This is all about the first time investors and traders have had a chance to really react to what happened on friday as the whole Health Care Agenda just got tabled for who knows how long and traders are trying to figure out whether that means President Trump still has the ability to push through perhaps even more complex legislation down the line in the form of tax cuts, a comprehensive tax cut package both for companies and individuals as well as any Infrastructure Spending plans down the line. So again, its important to note, this is not panic selling. Were going to be down 150 points. This has happened in the past. This is not one of those days where we see the markets gap lower like 500 points. Jared, you buy that, 150 points not 5 moints. I dont get into the business predicting where the markets going other than its going to open down and basically if you look at a number of indicators, its not just the dow, the dollar is falling significantly. Gold prices are actually going occupy. Thats suggest a risk off kind of environment in markets. That is where many investors were feeling positive spirits, excited about the things trump was going to do and taxes and deregulation. Theyre moving in the other direction right now. And theyre cheering. We see the dows theyre about the ring the bell. Let me ask you about where this goes from here. So what would calm the markets and would it be making that turn to taxes because thats something obviously that a lot of people on wall street were hoping for. Its not something thats going to happen quickly or something the markets are going to be able to sus out clearly. If the markets pulled back from the this trump bump. Whats going on in the real economy . I always thought the market was way too far over their skis and its an interesting way in which wall street doesnt understand sort of how dysfunctional we are down here. This fog by the way is a perfect set for what were talking about. Washington just doesnt work the way they think it does. And so the sooner they get back to the real economy the better. Its moving a little bit. What are you watching for today specifically . Were going to be watching for Interest Rates in particular on u. S. Government debt. Weve got the idea of a possible maybe Government Shutdown later down the line in april. People feel as though u. S. Government debt the is still worth investing in. If it is, that could be a telltale sign. Also watching a lot of companies tied to the trump agenda. Infrastructure type companies, ones that make asphalt and concrete and Steel Companies as well to see if theres any kind of realtime handicapping. You know President Trump, has tied himself very closely to the stock market. He considers it a realtime scorecard. Were working on an eight day losing streak. Were only 3 away from record highs right now. Steve mnuchin made an interesting rookie mistake a couple of weeks ago. He said the stock markets going to be tower scorecard exactly as dominic said. Well, you never say that. Because guess what . The market goes up and goes down and it doesnt always have a lot to do with whats happening behind us. Compared to health care, tax reform is a lot simpler, is he right about that . Hes right. Not a lot. Im in the camp that says there will be some tax cuts coming. It seems to be a theme out this morning that because they just couldnt get health care done, that theyre not going to be able to do tax cuts first of all, they dont have the money that they thought they were going to get from health care. In addition to that you know if theres a middle class tax cut that the republicans are going to come back with the estate tax and capital gains. Absolutely. Where do you find that middle ground . I dont know if theres going to be much middle ground, but i do believe this. Youre right the way you portrayed it. Whats going to happen is theyre going to start singling that if theyre going to say maybe we dont have to pay for this. Youre already hearing some of that in this mornings paper. A key tea party yer said, maybe we can use the offsets. Were going to put this on the deficit. Once you go there, you can do a lot more. Theyre willing to do that in order to get a win essentially. Correct. Thank you very much. Up next, new reaction to trump soninlaw set to be called before the Senate Intelligence committee. Could factions inside the white house use the current disorder to their own advantage . Everyone deserves attention, whether youve saved a lot or just a little.

Sources tell msnbc news this hearing be the part of the inquiry into russia and the trump campaign. Titled white house blame game intensifies as trump agenda stalls details some of the frustration mounting behind the scenes. Alex, let me start with you and i want to start with this bringing news. What do you make of this Jared Kushner being called now to testify in front of the panel . Heres the thing. It could be something, it could be nothing but the problem for the Trump Administration is that these questions about russia if theyre not going away. Theyre casting a major cloud over this white house and thats making things really hard for them at a time when theyre really in trouble on a lot of different fronts. At the center of it is somebody who today theyre going to announce is going to be in charge of this new office, this office is going to tame the bureaucracy of washington. Hes got about im not trying to be facetious here about ten different hats. Jared kushner, what does this mean overall for whats going on in there . Heres the interesting thing. The timing of this announcement today, fixing the government bureaucracy. Its interesting. It seems that the white house is really trying to change the subject on what has been a disastrous couple of weeks for them. Jared kushners got a lot of different hats and hes an important person to the president. Take us behind the scenes. Now were hearing about even more divisions, infighting. What are you hearing and could there be a shakeup . Thats the question that everyone is asking right now. Could there be some kind of staff changes because theres a lot of unhappiness on a lot of different levels. You have four or five different factions in this white house battling it out on a daily basis and thats making things really hard for them. This is a white house thats almost paralyzed on a lot of different fronts. Is this different, though, than almost any administration that starts . Theres always going to be this jockeying, this positioning for power . Someones got to tray charge. Yeah, its different, i think. Youre looking at me frankly like im a little crazy. I do think its different. The other white houses, it was always hard and staff shakeups. Let be serious. Sometimes effective chiefofstaff are not the most popular people. But you always have growing pains. Its really hard. Its a very small staff. Theres a lot thats put upon you. It is normal in the beginning to have these kinds of problems except what i think you see with this white house is this is a president that was not elected with the majority of the vote and wasnt elected on an agenda. With president clinton he could fall back on what he was going to do for the middle class, for president obama in his early days you dont think he was elected with an agen d. Repeal and replace obamacare. So that it worked for everybody. He was not able to do that so now what do you do . So i just think that thats what that is im not sure they probably need more experienced staff but thats not what their ultimate problem is. What does he do . Its hard. Its always hard. What does he do . He was known, robert, as a business man as encouraging tensions as a way to sort of get to a deal, as a sort of, you know, survivor kind of strategy. But whats going to be a successful strategy for him now because hes got to turn something around . This president he doesnt have a lot of core beliefs except getting deals done. He could pivot and work with the democrats on infrastructure, on tax reform, on reforming government, those are things but how . Dont you have to take care of the infighting first . I know bob woodward is going to write a book from now. We know that. The point is that the president needs to look, do i want to win and do i want to be seen as a pragmatist and do i want to run as an effective president. I think this president does. Heres one thing we know about this president. Hes very competitive. What he did was he listened very artfully to speaker ryan when speaker ryan said, we need to go with Health Care First then we pivot to tax return. He listened to the speaker and obviously the speaker didnt come up with a win there. I think this president s going to go right to his instincts. How do i figure this out that gets me on the right side with the American People . Alex, is there a way to sort of bring some of these competing factions together or alt tern actively use that in the way he used them in business, which is just sort of, you know, pit them against each other and hopefully the best ideas rise to the top . If historys any guide thats what hes going to continue to do in his businesses. Hes got a really tough task here. Theyre thinking about their own primaries back home, theyre own reelection bids. Hes got a tough task getting people on board. This is what i see the opportunity here and i figured something out. I figure out how can i reach across the aisle looking at this vulnerable president and get some stuff done. I think this is when the democrats look at how this is when we press our advantage on russia. This is when we really try to advance independent commission. Were circling back in one way to Jared Kushner and you wrote an op ed in the the washington post, if the democrats would just say, this is a threat to our democracy, this is a threat to our republic, the American People would listen. Why arent they doing it then . You do see that happening more. I thought senator warner. Too little too late . For Hillary Clinton it is and this is something i wrote about that i think it was such a Crazy Campaign and so unconventional as just covering trump for people, the idea of wrapping how deeply we know how russia was involved to influence our election take advantage of that. I think that we have to i think that you i think the more you talk about it, the more the public will Pay Attention to it and now that he is actually pressure in a much different situation. He was elected with a semihostile state interfering in our election to assist him. I think were slumbering through this process. Not only do i believe if Hillary Clinton were president , i believe if george bush were president , we would all be talking about impeachment hearings because we took him seriously and we do not take this president seriously enough. We have a soft complicity of low kpekitations. Were not taking the russia thing seriously because maybe it helped, and maybe it didnt. This is a semihostile state interfering with our elections there couldnt be anything more important. The democrats are doing a good bit in congress on this, but i really think what they should do is hit republicans at home about it. If you are if you are republicans that talk about leaks as opposed to one to get to the bottom of how russia did this, they propping up the kremlin and thats what i think democrats should be doing now. Heres what we know. Vladimir putin is a foe not a friend. He is trying to destabilize the European Union financially and nato from the military standpoi standpoint. Trying to manipulate our democratic freedoms. We know that. If youre an american and if you love this country as much as everyone does, you would stand up and say this is wrong, we need to pushback very strongly on this because this is a very threat to our freedoms. By the way, the banker that now has brought Jared Kushner back into the public eye is from a bank that was under sanctions under the Obama Administration because of crimea. Thank you robert, jennifer and alex. Up next why is the white house being so coy about President Trumps weekend activities . Well be right back. Nosy neighbor with a keen sense of smell.

I think that they have the minority leader said theyre going to do everything they can to delay him and this is a tact i thinkhim. I think they need to employ for tactics like this. Things are not normal and theres a lot on the line as far as our democracy is concerned. Senator schumer said last week it is unseemly to be talking about advancing a Supreme Court justice that has a lifelong appointment when we have unresolved, something so unresolved as the russian fbi investigation. Filibuster is that where were heading here . As a former campaign guy, it tells me theyre giving their grass roots another week to be able to organize and raise some money. To her point, it looks like this is a way for the minority leader to flex his muscle a little bit and send smoke signal to the majority leader. Were serious here and looking to explore the Nuclear Option if necessary. I sat through the three days of hearings with judge gorsuch. The democrats are still ticked off about merrick garland. So am i. I shared their ticked offness and there are a lot of people in the base who would like to see that is that what this is about, its really responding to the base that said do not let them its responding to to the base but its a matter of a basic functioning of democracy. This is one of the most important and lasting things that President Trump will do. And you now, the idea that merrick garland, who was a moderate guy with a great record didnt get a hearing, im sorry, i just dont have the kind of amnesia that says never mind. Were coming off of a weekend and every weekend we talk about what is the president doing. There has been, lets say, more than a small amount of criticism from donald trump against former president obama about husbais weekends. Do we have that sound . Lets play it. He goes out and plays golf so much that he doesnt have time to convince congress to go and lets do it the way its supposed to be done, right . Right . Hes played more golf than most people on the pga tour. And so now its come to this is what its described as, robert. Why is everyone looking at me . I dont know. Sean spicer says the game helps foster deeper relations. Heres what i know. I know that the president , meaning donald trump, play to the crowd. He was obviously in the middle of an election and feeding all of that. Im not sure the president thought he was going to win. I think he was lobbying out a lot of misfits out there. Heres what we know. No matter where you are, you are the president , the institution of the office travels with you wherever you go. President s reserve the right to have some downtime. If golf is his purview, fine. But the reality is that President Trump should not have said that because hes now doing it hes a little bit of a hypocri hypocrite. I think president s should be able to golf. Im a big fan of it. Whats interesting to me is sean spicer would never say that on his own. The answer the press secretary would give on his own is its great for president s to have downtime. What should be troubling for the white house is the president obviously told him to say that which means the president is defensive about it and it means, which is surprising, because thats playing by conventional washington rules. President s arent supposed to golf, youre supposed to be working hard. It shows he cares what washington thinks. He should be saying yeah, i was golfing. Thats what i do. I go out like normal people do on the weekend, i golf and i clear my head and i go to my beautiful course and everybody wants to be there. Hes really surrounded himself with members of his family who are close advisers, his daughter who now has an office in the white house. And obviously Jared Kushner. The other jared. The second jared. You were the first jared. Thank you. The reporting has been that the president was a little displeased that in the middle of the first big legislative fight which he had, which was health care, Jared Kirchner, ivanka went with her children ski in aspen. And i must say when the reports came out and the pictures were splashed all over the british newspapers, they had a field day with it, i thought i wonder what the folks who worked in previous administrations are thinking. What went through your brain honestly . Everyone i heard from believes administrations said the same thing which are, are you kidding . Exactly the way you teed it up, chris. And i think one of the things thats happening here, kind of fa fallout from here is the idea that the white house is going to listen closely to the strategies of paul ryan moving forward seems like a deanyoiminishing probability. Coming up, the white house is pushing ahead with its agenda pledging to work with moderate democrats but will democrats want to work with them. A leading House Democrat will be here. Ho its off to work we go woman on the gulf coast, new exxonmobil projects are expected to create over 45,000 jobs. And each job created by the Energy Industry supports two others in the community. Altogether, the industry supports over 9 million jobs nationwide. These are jobs that natural gas is helping make happen, all while reducing americas emissions. Energy lives here. Except for every ladies night. Vegetarian. All while reducing americas emissions. Only glad has forceflex to prevent rips, leaks, and punctures. So whatever you throw in the bag. Stays in the bag. Be happy, its glad. Can i get some help. Watch his head. Im so happy. Whatever they went through, they went through together. Welcome guys. Life well planned. See what a Raymond James Financial Advisor can do for you. Imy moderate to severeng crohns disease. I didnt think there was anything else to talk about. But then i realized there was. So, i finally broke the silence with my doctor about what i was experiencing. He said humira is for people like me who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohns disease. In clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. And many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. If youre still just managing your symptoms, talk with your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. And thats going to wrap up this hour. Im Chris Jansing and look whos here. Hallie jackson. Thank you for joining us. The president defleeted but not deflated after the health care bil bill. Now President Trump needs to dems for his next big push, tax reform. The next battle is taking ship and it may be more of a fight than the last one. New this morning, were looking at more russian news. Nbc news confirming that the president s soninlaw, Jared Kirchner will face questions about his meetings with a moscow rep. Kristen welker at the white house and the washington posts Phillip Rucker joining us for a kind of special report. I want to is that right with kristen over at the white house. No looking back now for President Trump, right . But when he looks ahead to his priorities, whats the road they see in front of him. Obviously tax reform but its not like thats smooth sailing. Reporter its not smooth sailing but theyre looking squarely at tax reform. Theres broad agreement thats going to be a lot tougher now in the wake of failing to replace and repeal obamacare, for a couple of reasons. Not just politically but also mathematical mathematically. Part of what they were hoping for was that the repeal and replace package would essentially eliminate a number of taxes and that that would help them to get to the target figures that they want for a broad tax reform piece of legislation. So what happens now. Well theres a little bit of going back to the drawing board and trying to figure out what is realistic and im told what could be more realistic insfaed of a prod tax reform package you get things like targeted tax cuts. Its still early. Theyre trying to hammer out the details. But there are other legislative hurdles on the horizon including funding the government and raising the debt limit. So those could be big battles. And ihi
