contributing specific tax reform ideas? let me say this to you. do you. doing away the state and local taxes and injustice not just in new york, but to other states as well, and you will taxes people twice, i might face in the corporate tax reductions. instead of on the right to tony come and go to 25 for the first two years and then to tony. and then you re encouraging business. don t just try to make it a republican bill. that s what i would thought to do. he said, tip o neill book on the house of representatives and we worked out a bill that cut billions and billions of dollars
mcconnell, in which they decided total, complete full spectrum obstruction was the strategy. and we in some ways, this was they re reaping the rewards of that. yeah. now, you know, it s worth pointing out that i did report that in my book on the house of representatives. at the time it was conceived by frank luntz with other republicans crying on each other s shoulders. they saw this incredible inaugural event with barack obama with huge crowds and it was really, wow, what do we do next? it was only in what was meant to be a cathartic moment, just say no to everything he does. that laid a predicate for a governance of noastasized into you re a great reporter, robert, i follow your reporting

prepared. but at the same time, i think trump won the night because he did what he had to do to deflect and defray the disgusting comments on these taps and he lived to fight another day. have you decide had you re going to vote for? i haven t. i ve focused on the governors, with the republican governor s association, on the house of representatives, through my chairmanship of the congressional leadership fund and i m going to do everything i can to protect down ballot races. fred malik thanks for joining me this morning. still to come, the debate hadn t even started but the battle had already begun. several of bill clinton s accusers sitting with donald trump hours before the town hall showdown.

strongly. i think they ve drawn a line in the sand. can you see that from the statements today. this was arguably the biggest issue of the campaign. as the president said, most people do agree the rich should pay a higher percentage of taxes. i think making deductions work is going to be politically difficult. you have to get into things like the mortgage interest deductions. i think raising taxes on the rich is going to be something the president will hold the line on. the president again today called on the house of representatives to just pass the bill that the senate has passed already, with those rates and john boehner responded. the senate has already passed a law like this. democrats in the house are ready to pass a law like this and i hope republicans in the house come on board, too. we should not hold the middle class hostage while we debate tax cuts for the wealthy.
