>> so, for more on todays top political headlines, lets bring in marjorie clifton, democratic strategic and ceo of clifton consulting and robert train, a former bush/cheney senior adviser. robert, i just want to get your reaction to mitch mcconnell there. he just sounds plumb tired of the whole thing, frustrated. >> i think the reason why hes frustrated is he keeps getting asked the same question and the answer is the same. a, he doesnt think there was any wiretapping of trump by president obama...

Reality is that if shes going on the government payroll, that actually is a very good thing in terms of transparency and ethics. >> i want to ask you about lindsey graham and i have to ask you quickly but i have to say payroll is a funny word to use because she said shes not going to take a salary, but she has to go on it for the logistics reasons and file all the forms, exactly, okay. lindsey graham, talk about rowdy there. it was quite the bit town hall, shall we say, in his home state of sout...

If people dont like the immigration laws of the united states, they can reform them. our emphasis is on deporting and removing criminal aliens who pose a threat to public safety and i just want to say this. there has been a lot of coverage in the news about the effect of these enforcement actions on people who are here illegally. thats an issue people are here free to discuss. whats more important and what should be discussed more is the lives being saved, chuck. the american lives that are bein...

Doesnt really serve enones interests. >> just so everybody understands. i.c.e. targets and the most national threats, border safety account for a high share of the removals under president obama and we have the numbers out for 2016. i.c.e. removed a total of 240,255 people. so, robert, stephen miller reportedly the driving force behind a number of the different executive orders or the travel ban. some people would say hes young, inexperienced conservative although he did work with jeff sessions....

One year, the current rate, so economy doesnt hurt and then comprehensive tax reform, well close corporate loopholes, raise billions in revenue. that revenue can then go down to paying the debt and make it a more fair, simpler tax system. its a very interesting way that theyll play it. but theyre happy to have this issue of 250k and below. some democrats say this means its a permanent fix for the middle class. no longer any uncertainty. well see how well that sells going forward. >> stand by, lu...

Thats real money and allowing those tax cuts to finally sunset, i agree with robert, the plan was for them to sunset awhile ago, would be smart economics and good fiscal policy. >> yes, but theres another point here. look, jared is right about the 2% but there are a lot of farmers out there, a lot of small businesses out there, that quite frankly make $250,000 or a little more and in reality, thats a lot of money to the average person out there, but in true reality, thats not a lot of money when...
