trish: president trump of feeling optimistic as we head into the new year, based on the facts, this is very unfair and unpopular individual mandate has been terminated as part of our tax cut bill, which repeals obamacare. present republicans will come together eventually and develop a grace new health care plan. can both parties really work together or for anything? first you, lee. can they work together on some kind of better health care plan and infrastructure? maybe a few other things along the way? first how do you really feel about the carried interest loophole? speak i just want to say i want to save them a hundred $80 billion. it is just not right. they should i think the president can still fix it. tell me what you think about that. speaking of the present
election? what does it do to the credibility of the fbi? that s a real issue here because what we are talking about is the effectiveness of the fbi, the credibility of the fbi. the day is coming where the president will have to insist to a foreign leader that there is sensitive intel he got from the fbi that nieds to be acted on. and that foreign leader will say is that the same fbi you are saying is sad? the fbi late last week took down an attempted terrorist attack in san francisco. i didn t hear the president come to praise them. maybe we should wait to hear putin praises the latest take down of the fbi. when that fbi agent presents credentials to the member of the public and the member of the public perceives it as eroded. guys, thank you very much. next up the truth versus trump. the president says the new tax law virtually repeals obamacare.

politically speaking, paul ryan has talked about working on the entitlements, while for reform et cetera. i do not know if that s going to get the type of traction that paul ryan intended. politically, taking away entitlements is very tough. when you look for him and maybe they ll some consensus, but do you think infrastructure will be playing big-time into the president s agenda? i think infrastructure is crucial. i think it is huge. i also think that because president trump and they republicans campaigned on repealing and replacing obamacare, and because as you know you just tweeted, he wants to create something great, he needs to tweet health care the weight eisenhower treated the highway back in 1956, which is a transformative program. we need a private insurance
