Almost any other president. he knows how strong those optics were, how lasting they were, and i think he wants that to carry him into the holiday and carry him into the new year. i wouldnt be surprised if in mar-a-lago he got a little bit restless and wanted to talk to the press. well have to see if that happens. but again, i think today he wanted to stay on message, and he did that. he did that during the oval office, even when reporters tried to get him to talk a little bit about what may be c...

And i just want to turn around and i want to thank them all. they are very, very special people. thank you very much, everybody. [ applause ] okay. wrapping things up. one ear out for questions. i should tell you the reporters are nowhere close to the president. in front of the president is is a large audience of invited guests, members of the administration. peters going to tell us whos there. peter alexander and garrett haake as well, i believe. there was talk, peter, of this maybe having be...

>> yes, i disagreed with his initial endorsement way before these allegations were public. just because i do not think that roy moores in any way, shape or form someone a civil libertarian should be endorsing. i think that this is putting a lot of people on capitol hill in a tough place. are they going to entrench into their tribalism or stand up for the principles that they really do hold dear. thats the problem. >> what does your tribe represent? i want to go back to garrett haake because ther...

At $10,000. thats in the house bill. the senate bill stops all deductions for state and local income or sales tax deductions for individual taxpayers. critics say it leads basically to a tax increase for many middle class families. bring in garrett haake. government funding, separate issue entirely, set to expire friday. the day before senate minority chuck schumer and house leader nancy pelosi agreed to meet with president trump to discuss the year-end agenda. didnt talk about this in the last ...

Form a conference committee. the house pick their teams like in a backyard basketball game. senate follows shortly thereafter. i expect the bill will probably look a lot more like the senate bill than the house bill to make sure it in fact passes that chamber by a very narrow margin. >> thank you, garrett haake on capitol hill. and saying this tax plan means a big tax break. and several say thats not the case. president trump and congressional republicans have made a lot of promises about thei...

Theres a lot of support for the president there. of course, one of the possibilities, batted about, having the attorney general run as a write-in candidate. if roy moore doesnt drop out of the race, would that split the republican vote? would that only energize momentum for the democrat in the race, doug jones? all of the questions and hypotheticals white house officials here are weighing behind the scenes and at this point, again, its not clear what the presidents final decision is on this matt...
