Champagne down pennsylvania avenue. There are only two places where americas popping champagne; the white house and the corporate boardrooms including trump tower. The gop tax scam is about bleeding the middle class dry to pad the pockets of Corporate America and the wealthiest 1 . Paul joining the panel, Wall Street Journal columnist and Deputy Editor dan henninger, columnist kim strassel and Mary Anastasia ogrady and Editorial Page writer kate odell. Why did they succeed on taxes when they failed on health care . Right. That is one question, because you would expect a failure to make it harder to succeed. But i think here the Health Care Failure really focused the minds for the gop that, for them, it was do or die for their majority in 2018 to get a tax bill passed. And it wasnt always clear they would choose do. [laughter] but also i think there was a rougher consensus on what a tax

Calling on lawmakers to unite behind an ambitious agenda including arepealing and replacing obamacare and rebuilding the military. Now comes the hard part, pushing that agenda through congress. Karl rove served as a Senior Advisor to george w. Bush. Do you believe that Donald Trumps presidency at least on the domestic side will be determined here in the first year on what he can get through congress . I do. The question is not how much can he get done, but does he get right things done . Critical to his longterm success is a come prehencive tax reform measure and the repeal and replacement of obamacare. If he fails to accomplish these two things this year or next year his presidency will be in difficulty. He was elected because people wanted a change in the economy. Paul im not so sure he has much time of going into next year. If hes going to do this, the first year is always so much easier. I agree its possible to get it done this year. I dont think the secretary of the treasury mnuch
Actually got 51 votes to pass a budget rather than 48 or 49 and failed paul everybody but rand paul. Everybody but rand paul. Its too bad that senator had to be wheeled, you think murkowski could have commit today voting for this and not make him come. Thats the way the Senate Republicans work now. Steppingstone to get towards tax reform and i do feel that these republicans now have the sense that they are embarked on something very serious, little bit wind at their back and now we are going to go forward to tax reform and do something that the president and everybody member of the party except rand paul wants to do. Paul kate, the key is 1. 5 billion bogey, so they are not hostage to the scoring from the Congressional Budget Office entirely, they are not hostage to the joint tax committee, these institutions created by democrats years ago that tend to make it harder to reform taxes. Thats right, yes, basically thats a conservative number on how much revenue we could expect to float at
Criticized the president s condolence call to the widow of a us soldier killed in niger. In an exclusive interview with maria bartiroma, he said kelly disapproved of those comments. He was so offended because he was in the room when i made the call and so were other people. The call was a very nice call. He was so offended that a woman somebody would be listening to that call. He couldnt believe it. He said to me, sir, this is not acceptable. This is not. I was so nice. I have called many people and i would think every one of them appreciated it. I was surprised to see this to be honest with you. Investigation is underway about the niger ambush resulting in the death of those four american soldiers. Kristen fisher live from the white house with more. Where does that investigation stand . The white house is a wont rest until he gets answers. The secretary of defense was on capitol hill meeting with senator john mccain after mccain complained that the senate had not been briefed about wh
Almost exactly to a t the instructions that isis has put out in its social Media Channels before with instructions to their followers on how to carry out such an attack. Paul judge Michael Mukasey served as the 81st attorney general of the United States, and he also presided over the criminal prosecution of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing suspects. Judge, good to have you here again. Good to be here. Paul you heard john miller. This is the kind of nightmare scenario for people who are trying to prevent this. Somebody selfradicalizedded here, very hard to stop. Well, selfradicalized is one of those phrases that, frankly, id like to bury because he didnt invent the doctrine, he didnt create the videos, the support system and Everything Else that goes with it. He was alone, in a sense, but somebody who had passed through the radar before. Paul what i mean by that is there is not links that would have shown him to have popped up on the screen where the fbi or nypd could say, aha, hes s
