guests coming in and out of trump tower. it is like a second white house right now. it really is. it is a manhattan white house in waiting you might say. and donald trump just wrapped up a very important meeting with the japanese prime minister shinzo abe. who just wrapped up his own comments on that meeting just a short while ago here in mid town manhattan. they had a lot to talk about from trade to national security issues in asia. but keep in mind as you also mentioned donald trump has had a number of very interesting at any time lysing encounters throughout the day today. encounters that suggest he knows he has fence mending to do. a signal is being sent that the president elect just might be ready to put the scorched earth campaign behind him and perhaps engage in some healing. in addition to his meetings with foreign policy heavy weights like henry kissinger donald trump has been sitting down with his rivals and critics from the primaries.

sean spicer, would the president be okay with a package with a time line in which the tax cuts would be enacted and people would feel it in 2018 and not 2017. a bit of ambiguity. here s spicer. there s two issues. fiscal year 17 and calendar year 17. for tax purposes, it s calendar year 2017 that they re probably most concerned with. the president as we work with congress will have those details to be able to flush out. something that they have to work can congress on. president trump dropped news on this whole conversation just moments ago telling reuters in an interview, speaking about the border adjustment tax, which is a big question in this. the president said, and i m quoting from reuters here, it could lead to a lot more jobs in the united states. as that article dropped, spicer talked up the merits of it
saying it benefits workers, americans and the economy. nothing from the white house yesterday, but certainly it appears they re starting to talk it up just a bit. neil
like global warming. we can t do that if people feel embarrassed to be associated with the united states. you combine that with the fact that the state department has essentially been neutered, e s eviscerated by this administration thus far and watching in real time as america and america s image withdraws from the world. do you know any republican senator or member of the house who s a republican, any party member of any party who believes the president believes he was wiretapped, who even believes he believes it? i don t think anybody knows exactly what donald trump believes and what he doesn t believe. i think what s scary to many republicans is that they ve had the opportunity to walk this back and they re putting not only the presidency and the reputation of the presidency, but the reputation of the entire country at risk, the longer that this floats out there. the reality is is congress can ask the department of justice as to whether there s a wiretap, bul but if there s a

media, if people don t believe us. one of the reasons they don t believe us is because of the way the last election was covered, which was overwhelmingly in favor of one candidate over another. that is not surprising given that there is no politically diversity in the press corps. politico did a study on this. how many registered republicans in the white house press corps? zero. that s a huge problem, don t you think? i m a registered independent. i think it is important to be neutral when you are covering politics in the white house. tucker: do you i agree with you. you think of the people covering the white house are objective? i do. we went to read their twitter feeds? i can t speak for every member of the association. s i think it is very important to be neutral. i think it is important to report the facts, it is important to report robustly with the president is doing. i think you should do that regardless of whether the president is a republican or a democrat. tucker
it gave no means of tracing this back to the source, but it had a lot of information in it about things that had been happening in trump tower. and it appeared to be from somebody inside the transition or inside trump tower who was concerned about what this person was seeing. and a lot of what s written or conveyed in this letter has sort of come become true over time. it s taken a while for a lot of this stuff to surface, including this detail about this discussion over a back channel or a private channel of communications with moscow. again i just want to i m trying to sort of bend over to read this as charitably as possible. so i mean is it possible that they were setting up lots of different back channels with lots of different foreign leaders? well, we don t i mean i suppose it s possible. clearly they were in communication and meeting with a lot of leaders, a lot of foreign leaders. most of them, as you point out,
were coming through the front door, not the back door
here. and the white house ought to explain why that wasn t followed here, but there is a good way to answer these questions and we will do our best to answer these questions but we will not lose sight of the russia investigation and we are going to keep focus on that. yes? has there been any uptick in attacks on your or your staffers computers or i.t. networks since this investigation has been going on? i m not aware of anything like that. thank withdrew veyou very much. thank you. okay. steve kornacki in new york. that is adam schiff. just finishing up u a press conference there on capitol hill. adam schiff the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee, of course, the house intelligence committee had been pursuing interference of the status of that committee s investigation now some quwhat i question. there s been all sorts of controversy about actions, about statements from the republican chairman, devin nunes, in that
