Sean spicer, would the president be okay with a package with a time line in which the tax cuts would be enacted and people would feel it in 2018 and not 2017. A bit of ambiguity. Heres spicer. Theres two issues. Fiscal year 17 and calendar year 17. For tax purposes, its calendar year 2017 that theyre probably most concerned with. The president as we work with congress will have those details to be able to flush out. Something that they have to work can congress on. President trump dropped news on this whole conversation just moments ago telling reuters in an interview, speaking about the border adjustment tax, which is a big question in this. The president said, and im quoting from reuters here, it could lead to a lot more jobs in the United States. As that article dropped, spicer talked up the merits of it
saying it benefits workers, americans and the economy. Nothing from the white house yesterday, but certainly it appears theyre starting to talk it up just a bit. Neil . Neil very in
the miss universe pageant in 2013. gref is reported to be a close ally of the russian president, vladimir putin. and turkish media companies are now at odds with the country s president. and a businessman from dubai who is a licensing partner of trump s dubai golf courses, he s going to be there. that is a deal that netted him $10 million in 2015 and 2016. since the president s inauguration, he has worked to befriend don june ror aior and trump. let s not forget the busine businessmen. gary cohn, former coo of goldman sachs. you have jamie dimon. the funny thing is, a lot of the manufacturing ceos, the ceo
had manufacturing ceos, airline ceos, auto, small businesses. this is a president that is willing to listen before he makes decisions. neil: still as you know, secretary jamie diamond, j.p. morgan chase, price waterhouse expressing concerns about the timetable. both saying it s increasingly unlikely. that the august time frame, even this year on the tax cuts. any message for that? my comment is, when you come out with a very aggressive plan that you want to get done, of course you start with the view it s unlikely. this president is not sitting around and having an agenda that is conservative and likely. this is a president that wants to get things done and neil: the trouble, you want a gigantic figure in the wall
and will be a disaster. there s not much wiggle room. the senate obviously 22 house members. are you worried this is slipping at way? not at all. it s only natural in the sense of there s a lot of different good ideas. i think one of the things that you see from president trump is that he s willing to listen. he s willing to listen to people with different ideas. he takes it in and figured out what he think is the best plan, being open-minded to the views and getting it done. you ve seen this in regards to we met with lots of different business leaders, he s had manufacturing ceos, airline ceos, auto, small businesses. this is a president that is willing to listen before he makes decisions. neil: still as you know, secretary jamie diamond, j.p. morgan chase, price waterhouse
manufacturing ceos who are going to be working to bring back those jobs, and i mean really good paying jobs. that was president trump in the weekly presidential address this past weekend focusing on african-americans. mark halpern, how would you describe the president s weekly address? what he said? he set the tradition up and this was well written and seemed like emotionally delivered than is norm. it s surprised to me the addresses prior to this one haven t gotten more attention. we have stealing cell phones and lashing out at fake news. think about that. it was good but who is going to believe us, right? how he is going to break through with that when he is out there tweeting. if you listen to the whole thing, it was good. very well done. it s hard to disagree with
