pete: with a vote expected next week senators marco rubio and mike lee are demanding last-minute changes to the child tax credit. steve: joining us now with his comments deputy white house press secretary hogan gidley who, yep, he is wearing a coat. he is on the north lawn. good morning few to you. good morning, y all. steve: republicans have a tiny little advantage in the senate they need every one of their men and women to vote yes. it looks like can t really count on bob corker. and now marco rubio has got a problem. apparently he wants more money for the tax credit. right? it looks like that at this point. but, look, the president has worked with senator rubio to actually double what they had started out with the number was a lot lower. it s gotten a lot higher because of the talks we had with senator rubio. we hope this tax bill actually gets to the president s desk because it is largest tax decrease, tax cut we have seen in about 30 years which is extremely exciting for us. w
business development that needs to to be going on in st. louis. they are not doing that they decide hey, we will fatten up our criminals. maybe they will get so fat they can t commit these crimes. steve: if somebody on the right suggested this, the left would scream they re trading safety for food. yeah. that was one of my talking points, steve, that, you know, if the donald trump said let s do this, they would say exactly that they would call it racism and they would say, you know, they are starving these people in order to get their guns. so that they can no longer protect themselves. look, it s a matter of perspective. the facts are, st. louis is probably geometrically more dangerous than chicago. and we re constantly talking about chicago. steve: sure. constantly talking about areas like detroit. instead of the mayor actually doing something to address the problem, getting these kids in vocational programs, really working on the issues and quite frankly, working on the societal
you have here assess pool of corruption covering up for the clintons in a way which i would have to say as a historian is unimaginable. i do not know of any point in american history where you have this level of a system of corruption. at every level, this is undermining our system of justice. it is violating the law. it s very likely all of these people will end up going to jail. it s time for the attorney general to step up to the plate and do his job. he has no excuse as somebody who i know believes in the law. he has no excuse for hiding. he has to set up a clinton investigation. evidence has to set up an fbi justice department investigation. this is his obligation under the law to enforce it and to protect the american people. steve: well, victoria toensing who used to work in the reagan department of justice is going to be with
