>> i can guarantee one vote. and i say that candidly, mr. cavuto. because very candidly speaking this really is not about people who happen to hold positions of authority. i just believe that we should not allow political expediency until the next election to trump the moral imperative to act when there is harm being caused to society. so i wont be counting votes. what i dual is count on the opportunity to bring it to the floor and let people vote their consciences. i think thats appropriate. i ...

Thank you for the story. i do apologize for usurping your time. >> not to make light because its very important what youre mentioning but you can reclaim your time as they say in the house. its a story well keep on. turning to why youre in the news on the house floor. walk us through why youre breaking with your own speaker. >> thank you. this has been the position ive held now for some time. mr., ma many, many weeks. i went to the floor much earlier and i explained that i thought the president ...

Going to pay. im saying, you guys lecture me that people can make their own decisions. people know its going to raise taxes, know it will cost them more. but the government has a moral imperative -- >> the problem is the numbers dont work out like with obamacare. >> were going to keep fighting about this. >> theres big bright spots. economists show the economy is just humming along. and praise and outrage after a judge slaps paul manafort with a shorter than expected sentence. why the president ...

He got his tablecloths. >> got to respect that. and the rockettes, he wanted to make sure they were rocked down to perform. this was like a presidential-elect imperative. >> yes, as you may remember, they had been announced just before christmas, but some of the rockettes were unhappy about performing for trump given his politics, they had political differences. so he was really concerned. trump has liked the rockettes for decades. >> hes about to be the most powerful man in the world, just stre...

And again, that was on a whole gamut of topics and issues. >> what is the decor one? >> so there were going to be these white, really retro white leather tables at trumps candlelight dinners and he was shown photos of what those table settings were going to look like and he said, he needed tablecloths. he could not imagine a black tie dinner without tablecloths and he got his tablecloths. >> got to respect that. and the rockettes, he wanted to make sure they were rocked down to perform. this was...

>> tucker: scary, i think. thank you very much. good luck with the revolution. robert is an attorney and radio host and he joins us. thank you very much for coming on. i would just throw that to you. and you are a democrat, a liberal i assume you agree with everything that your party says but is it helpful to frame every issue as a moral imperative where there is no gray and no potential for compromise? >> i think one of the issues we have to understand is people are not monolithic in their thou...

Seen in congress and elsewhere, most of them are democratic organizations. do you have a sense of why that is? >> sure. this is a real problem if we want to see gender parity across parties. were never going to get to 50% if we only do it on tboth sides of the aisle. the republican party doesnt have the infrastructure for women, theres not the financial infrastructure that we have with emilys list, theres not a training or recruitment structure. they dont define mens overrepresentation in the pa...

Signature on it directly and then breaking up the payments over time helps mask that. we also, we dont have to take michael cohens word for it that the president knew he was involved in this. weve heard him on tape discussing the payoffs here, so we know the president knew. knowledge of needs to be happening here, knowledge of breaking the law needs to happen here, and also proof that it was just for campaign purposes. and, again, its the timing here that matters so much, larry. >> right. absolu...
