Garrett. garrett, the president is signaling after his big tax cut victory, he wants to turn his vaengs to infrastructure in the new year. what are you hearing about that? could this actually be a bipartisan agreement? >> well, thats going to be the open question, chris. its interesting. when i talked to democrats on the hill on my day job, they said want to work with the president on an infrastructure plan. if the president will work with them on day one, rather than developing his own plan and...

Consumer confidence stays relatively steady, and as long as the stocks keep climbing, and unemployment holds steady, i think its a win for the republicans. it takes away the argument that they are incapable of passing anything as a governing majority. >> matt, theres a new study out from yale today and they talk to a bunch of fortune 500 ceos, and only 14% of them said because of this tax bill passing that they will actually made the large capital expenditures to this country, and translate that...

Embrace donald trump because they think hes wrong for the country because hes embraced this form of white nationalism because he has a tax policy does not benefit the working class. because he has a great volatility on the world stage because he has a health care that reduces access to health care. perhaps ed gillespie did it not for the politics but for the principle of it. so going right now with the republican party is where we went four, six years ago with very dangerous senate candidates wh...

Which he has no significant major agenda items right now. now, even kicking the iran nuclear deal to congress, which president trump did last week, puts a big, divisive issue on the plate of congress, which already is struggling with matters that touch on all -- on several cabinet agencies, including what to do with d.r.e.a.m.ers. so i think, john, they have a lot on their plate and maybe in a meeting they could figure out a way where they could work together where they overlap, where they have ...

Capitol hill and in the senate are hearing from, and thats why they restarted this debate in the first place. we all thought health care was dead and gone and over with, and they went home for august recess, heard from their constituents who were still worried about this issue, couldnt understand why republicans had promised them that they would repeal obama care for years and then didnt do it when they finally had the ability to do so in terms their governing majority, and so those are the peop...
