neil: what about his agenda? it s a busy agenda. gets through or not? the agenda depends on republicans in congress. the president with the deregulation, executive orders. he has to raise his popularity ratings. the republicans in congress have to be afraid of him. they have to be afraid if they turn around him, they will lose their jobs. so far that s not the case for a lot of them. neil: a long memory. michael, good seeing you. thank you, neil. neil: the very young michael goodwin. all that reaction, i created a tweet storm and a big one after this. what s the best way to get
and replacement. we need to get after tax reform. therefore, get our country moving again. we rolled back a lot of regulations that have hurt business. neil: when the president was outlining this infrastructure plan first of all, are you on board with that? is it doable? forget about getting congressmen on board. can republicans as a group get on board with that? i m very familiar with the public private partnership. in our construction business, we ve done many of those ourselves. it s a way to combine the government and private capitol. neil: the idea that you can build off of that five times the amount the government puts in, leverage off of that? if that is the case, you can work that for tax cuts and a variety of things. yeah.
democrats and republicans. gregg jarrett, you had a chance to look at this. let s say you re a democrat and pouncing on the i word, impeachment, and see conditions that would warrant that. what are you doing? this is comey s statement. he never said the president obstructed justice, which is a felony, a crime. it appears to be just the opposite. he says that trump told him i hope you can see your way clear to letting this go to letting flynn go. the operative world there is hope. hoping and wishing that you get an outcome that helps michael flynn is not the same thing as ordering or directing under threat that the fbi director do something to end an investigation. the law is very clear. i have it in front of me. in order to obstruct, you have to do things like withhold,
around that. i know you guys can come in at the same time. that s what i hear. i want to know about the time frame for this. i mean, you guys are off the month of august. do you think your colleagues should stay in town to get this stuff done? we took a position at the freedom caucus that we should in fact be here to get the work done the american people have elected us to do. i said this all the time. what did we tell the folks we would do at home? let s focus on that. if that means being here in august, most of the constituents i serve are working in august. maybe we should do the same thing neil: what have they told you, congressman? we ll see. nobody is doing cart wells in support neil: what if democrats say no but republicans say yes? can you go ahead given your majority and pass legislation without them? the speaker of the house and the majority leader set the
page. we heard john mccain issue a statement saying this is disturbing. is it a given that all republicans will be in sync or this or will they be asking tough questions on this? in the end, if all things stay the same, and probably won t, but at this juncture, you know, those reluctant and critical republicans may in the end say it was improper to have a one-on-one conversation with the fbi director. maybe there s some wrong doing but it doesn t rise to the level of a political or legal crime of impeachment. so far, you know, that s all there is. i do think as you pointed out at the top of the show that comey does confirm that he told the president repeatedly, multiple occasions, we re not investigating you. of course, there s been media reports that said comey would testify to the opposite. turns out the media was wrong.
