Congress. look, congress has had 26 years to try to address this issue and come up with a national frame work and they havent. thats because theyre divided. youve got republicans divided between those who are in concerned states and retailers and you have republicans who are anti-tax republicans who are afraid of government overreaching and collecting taxes. that split in the republican party has been an issue. on the democratic side, youve got most democrats willing to impose some sort of frame...

The economy than democrats. what are the democrats to do in this situation heading into the midterm to sort of counter this? >> well, dana, i think there are other numbers out there that show that this tax bill specifically is not polling well where republicans may have seen a bump, the tax bill itself is not polling well. but, look, it makes sense for republicans to run with this. its the only major piece of legislation they were able to pass when they controlled the white house, the senate and...

False. ill fact check for you. everybody wants a weaker currency, right? it makes our exports more competitive. president trump talked a lot about this. however, the u.s. currency is a lot weaker since the fed began raising interest rates back in 2015. so the president has his facts wrong here. if you look at a lot of charts recently like the chinese currency, its actually stronger against the u.s. dollar so far this year. contrary to what the president said. the ruble is weaker but thats becaus...

Who, at one point, was able to get the republican caucus to support entitlement form at a time when thats not a popular issue. its a courageous thing to make that an issue and to stand on that legend say it needs to be done. he got the republicans on board with that for now were in a different era where that is not the republican party is and thats where paul ryan was and i think he was courageously and now yes to live within the new republic party which is not a party a paul ryan but a trump pu...
