democratic caucus that wants to do tax cuts. it s just a question of, how are they funded, how are they directed, who will get the benefits. so i think there is a deal there. and hopefully that s the direction we ll go in instead of trying to jam down some massive unfunded tax cut that will only add to our kids deficit. your colleague, senator lindsey graham, said on friday that if the republican party doesn t pass tax reform, democrats will win back the house and they will attempt to impeach president trump. take a listen. well, i think all of us realize that if we fail on taxes, that s the end of the republican party s governing majority in 2018. i can t imagine how he could be successful with nancy pelosi running the house. they would try to impeach him pretty quick. is senator graham right about this? again, i m not a democrat, i haven t heard any talk to that effect. i don t know what i don t know where that goes. i think president trump is transactional. he likes to do
meet with the democrats. and there s a majority of the democratic caucus that wants to do tax cuts. it s just a question of, how are they funded, how are they directed, who will get the benefits. so i think there is a deal there. and hopefully that s the direction we ll go in instead of trying to jam down some massive unfunded tax cut that will only add to our kids deficit. your colleague, senator lindsey graham, said on friday qub if the republican party doesn t pass tax reform, democrats will win back the house and they will attempt to impeach president trump. take a listen. well, i think all of us realize that if we fail on taxes, that s the end of the republican party s governing majority in 2018. i can t imagine how he could be successful with nancy pelosi running the house. they would try to impeach him pretty quick. is senator graham right about this? again, i m not a democrat, i haven t heard any talk to that
have some policy zbreemdisagree but if the republican party doesn t understand the imperati imperative here, good-bye. i think all of us realize if we fail on taxes, that s the end of the republican party s governing majority. i don t imagine how he could be successful with nancy pelosi running the house. they would try to impeach him pretty quick. so it s important that we pass tax reform in a meaningful way. if we don t, that s probably the end of the republican party as we know it. does that argument sell with lawmakers that might have quibbles with the details that this is a political imperative and you might be a retired lawmaker if you don t pass this? sure, except a lot of lawmakers are voluntarily retiring because they don t like the environment. i don t know how much of a threat that is. and i don t know about how much of a threat that is to those who are trying to stay in office. is that going to make them tick as opposed to what s going to hit them where they live and
going forward. so, this is in no way a distraction. and i understand that he wants to use it because he is so inept at passing any policy points on his own, but the truth is, it stands alone, tomorrow is going to be a really important day for the trump administration. i do agree on that. i agree that investigations are important, and i can t wait to see the house investigate the hillary clinton scandals and uranium one, so we can agree on that. how did i know you were going to say that? it s so sad. it s so sad. i could have guessed it. jess mcintosh, good to see you in person. thanks. brian darling, thanks. we got a yes! what does that mean for purchasing? purchase. let s do this. got it. book the flights! hai! si! si! ya! ya! ya! what does that mean for us? we can get stuff. what s it mean for shipping? ship the goods. you re a go! you got the green light. that means go! oh, yeah. start saying yes to your company s best ideas. we re gonna hit our launch date!

working class meshes that underminds the message he attempts to get tax reform pack benefits the middle class. so when we think about where the president stands with people in power in d.c. right now, at least before the midterms, the fact that he s taken on a jeff flake and a soent osenator cork. we have corker s approval rating. let s look at this. it s declined in a new poll from middle tennessee state university. but do you think that since there is a distance to go, brian, for president trump to the midterms, and he needs these people, that he should be making some amends to get on course with what you were saying before about the fact that they aren t accomplishing a legislative agenda for this president? well, i think when you look at jeff flake s record, he entered the house as a fire-brand conservative. he kind of got away from that, and he got wrapped up in the never trump fervor.
