Recovered, were going to show you this a moment where they might go next. Blake burman just with asked press Secretary Sean Spicer to clarify and, boy, did he ever. The president s Economic Team is really on a mission. Treasury secretary Stephen Mnuchin and director gary cohn determined to push hard to get congress signature on their generous tax plan. If it works, its looking a lot like christmas in may for apple and, hopefully, taxpayers. The chatter ratcheting up on President Trumps proposed onetime tax holiday for big corporations to bring back billions theyve got parked overseas.

Peaceful transfer of power. That is one of the great hallmarks of american democracy. Liz now, Hillary Clinton is saying she is joining the resistance. The election were on october 27, id be your president , it was want, it was on october 28 there was a lot of funny business. I am now back to be an activist citizen and part of the resistance. Liz welcome to risk reward. The day after Hillary Clinton lost, she said we must let President Trump lead. We must accept that result, then look to the future. Donald trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead. Liz now this, violent riots nation wide. Rioters disrupting peaceful trump rallies, saying faishism fascism is on the rise, there is no evidence of that in washington d. C. , still no democrats are denouncing the violence, that includes the former democratic contendor, some victims of the riots spoke out on this show.

Charles joining me now, mike baker.

Why did you focus on this particular era, this 1976 to 1980 in this book . Guest its a missing chapter to his life and its very important because without the developmental years of 76 to 0 he doesnt become president. After he lost the nomination to gerald ford people said all right hes been around the track twice. He tried in 6768 and lost tried in 76 and lost. Now hes 65 years old.
