Student held in iran talking to us. Now his case is tied to the future of the nuclear deal. But we begin with what could be a make or break moment for that republican tax bill. Now the second time in the month that its come to this, President Trump is heading to capitol hill. Hes going to try to do some arm twisting and this time its with republicans in the senate where there are still some holdouts. And later, hell meet with congressional leaders back at the white house. Msnbcs garret hake has been speaking with skeptical republicans on capitol hill.

If that happens, i would absolutely blame the democrats. Wha
