this isn t in any way legitimizing white nationalism. look at who the core advisers are now for this president. kellyanne conway is not a policy person, she s a pollster, where are the republicans. there aren t that many republicans anymore except for mike pence and mike is told when the meetings are late, and then on top of that, you don t really have any more economic nationalists. i think bannon is going to have an audience not just the far right but economic nationalists within the republican party who are like whoa is this guy. there s no one who speaks for us anymore in the president s inner circle. to that point, sarah, aside from the white nationalist aspects of steve bannon and what breitbart built these are the things he came in on that list. remember he had that wall of things he wanted to see donald trump do. trade penalties against china, ending multilateral trade agreements, decreasing legal and illegal immigration, massive
be paying more. that s what he wants to do he made the money by selling 300,000 books and being on the new york times best seller list. neil: the fact of the matter is, you re both known to be tight with a buck. the reason why i mention it, democrats have been railing at president s trump s plans to cut taxes across the board but it would fall on the rich and that s what the party says would be unfair. how do you feel about that and the timing of all of this? i do want the burden to fall on those that have more disposable income, including us. neil: what should the limit be, jane? you don t want it 35% as the president is espousing. do you like it where it is around 40%? should it go higher? what? you know, i m not the policy person. talk to bernie about that.
the administration because comey was able to confirm the investigation. he provided no additional details or names. that, i think, is going to contribute to the same atmosphere we have had along here where you have some members who are getting more information in a classified setting. they are not able to say it out loud. it is difficult to separate fact from fiction and get clarity on what is happening. the headlines in the newspapers this morning, certainly difficult ones for republicans. paul ryan just walked by the camera on the way in. he is a policy person who spent a decade building his career on things like this health care bill that is now potentially in trouble. it s harder to make an ask of somebody to vote for the bill, potentially lay their political life on the line for you, if, in fact, you are under fbi investigation, for example. everything coming out of this white house, all these ancillary
when there are things that involve options that must go to the president, get those moving. it is a bit of a traffic manager job in a sense. now, under president obama, susan rice was a policy maker, if you will. i think many people would agree with that. but mcmaster will see, does he become a policy person. right. does he bring that empty expertise? because, remember, one of the president s closest advisers, steve bannon. has a seat at the table. outspoken. itlogical. has a permanent seat at the table. a three star general who had no option but to say yes to the job, will he speak up against steve bannon. thank you barbara. coming up next, president trump doubling down today on comments that immigration has caused major problems in sweden. the former swedish prime minister called him out on twitter. we ll talk to him live next.
of new york, late governor, who said that governing is prose, but campaigning is poetry. one of the most eloquent men of his generation, politically speaking. what do you think she was telling us then? that was very telling. she said, i m not a debate of public campaigning. i m more of a policy person. this is the great paradox that the people who hoped hillary clinton would win found so frustrating. on the one hand, she tried to be herself. she let her rougher edges show. but at the same time, she ran a campaign that was completely at odds with that. focus grouping 85 different slogans and debating over every last sentence in a speech and every last policy position she was going to take, being endlessly litigated by her strategists. so there was something that while she said she was being authentic, she really wasn t at all.
