enough. joining us now, president and founder of the americans for tax reform were grover norquist. thank for being here. they are flirting with the ideas to make it easier to raise taxes yet some on the left say that s not enough. i wish they had been a little clearer about their plans to raise taxes during the campaign. but they re making them clear now. do remember that our friend was elected president, bill clinton promising he would never raise taxes on anyone who earned more than 2%. as soon as he got in, he put an energy tax on everybody. obama said i m only going to tax the top 2% and as soon as he got in he taxed everybody with a series of taxes in obamacare. now they re saying, well we ll only tax the top 20%. they keep moving this number. but it s actually not even an honest promise. when you raise business taxes, corporate taxes, everybody s
someplace else. when you bring this capital in, it doesn t get destroyed, doesn t disappear. i understand. it s not a destruction issue. it s a circulation issue. you and i book it now. figure out a time to talk. have that conversation about how you get the money into the economy in a way that works well as opposed to just makes rich people richer? say that for another time. always good to have you on, grover. thank you. good to be with you. president and founder of the americans for tax reform. coming up, jared kushner, the president s son-in-law and senior adviser and tanked with bringing peace to the middle east stays tight-lipped over what trump calls the deal between palestinians and that s after the break.

you don t believe economists on the outside and what they re saying? no. what i disagree with the idea that washington can exempt themselves if obama care. that s the sure here, and america is stuck with it. i had an e-mail from a constituent named nicole. her premiums are going up $446 a month. washington couldn t care less about nicole. that s who i m fighting for. i m worried about average americans not being listened to. if you don t have the votes, and you clearly didn t have the votes in the senate, even if you did, the president would veto it, you use need a two-third override. so many republicans say why drag this into a non-win situation. grover norquist, you probably know him, president of the americans for tax reform. he said this i think if you make a mistake as big as what
