Senator ben cardin says he doesnt think putting more american soldiers in afghanistan is the answer.

Thank you for joining us this morning. We will hear from essentially his first speech on the matter post steve bannon. What do you expect the president to say . The fact hes going to instead of the oval office is he will be adding a small number of troops. Right now have 3500. Maybe another 4000 to 5000 troops. I senator cardin put it, the question is what is your strategy . How long do you want to do it . What pressure are you going to put on the Afghan Government to be more inclusive of the people because they will achieve your news. Lauren with these troops be there to train the Afghan Forces . Weve had troops for 16 years in afghanistan since 9 11 as we work to topple the taliban. The strategy is not really working. It isnt. The question is what would be the ground rules for the troops . They are there primarily to train the Afghan Forces. Will they be able to take on offensive missions themselves . Dont forget we have another several thousand troops from our nato nations. Would they be willing to send more troops . That is a big question because right now the afghan troops do not seem to be able to take on these missions by themselves. He thinks the president will put pressure on afghanistan and if we put too much pressure on pakistan, do you feel they might align themselves with china or russia for instance . The key thing you need to bring in for the negotiation, assuming this works then stops the violence does come youve got to start negotiating with the taliban because they will have some control over part of the area and eventually hell need all the countries in the region, china, russia, for example, pakistan and there. None of them want to see a completely unstable afghanistan, including iran, which is also there. You have to come up with some sort of agreement.

Cheryl its incredible what he did in his life. A lot of news to cover this morning in politics that news over the weekend to bring you. White house chief strategist steve bannon left on friday, but treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin talking about tax reform today in kentucky. A lot of things to go through in the trump economic agenda. Lloyd matheson of cincinnati to the trump transition team. Gentlemen, good morning. Good morning. Cheryl that firstever policy. Steve bannon at the white house. In particular tax reform. Some of speculated over the weekend he was more of a hindrance than help when it came to the taxi firm agenda for the tax administration. Then i ask a good thing for tax reform because its all about focus. But general kelly is doing is getting all the distractions out of the way to recognize in the grade for campaigns. Steve bannon was more in the Corporate Tax side, more of a populist component to that. It will create more focus for the president and administration and i hope they really put some pressure on Mitch Mcconnell starting today in kentucky and moved that into the house and speaker ryan as well. This is a tall order to do in september. Theyve got to get after it included. Theres a report to obviously make sense that behind the scenes Steve Mnuchin and gary cohn. They have been working the phones. 200 senators that have got to get on board. This has to be bipartisan. Is that possible . I think its possible. Republicans have to be prepared to do it alone. There are two things they have to do. They have to cut the tax rate, but the Corporate Tax rate and bring relief to middleclass families and workers. I think that they will get that done because in the final analysis, infrastructure reform and tax reform and tax cutting is something that im not sure that democrats want the republicans to own the lock stock and barrel. If they do, well take it. Cheryl that is the question, though. Are democrats going to take a page of the republican playbook and just play obstructionist . I would be foolish. I will leave that up to them. They sustain Economic Growth of 4 . I ran the numbers for two organizations. The club for growth and Family Research council and i think those are two representatives of the Broad Coalition across this country that is ready for Economic Growth, tax reform and putting people back to work so we live the Labor Participation rate. Thats so very important. We have to stay focused on our agenda. Train to the agenda is very important. Steve mnuchin in Mitch Mcconnell speaking in kentucky. There is going to be more cooperation between the senate and the white house when it comes to tax reform. Republicans need to win here. Lets be honest. Republicans definitely need a win. I developed a meeting in kentucky is indicative of more cooperation or more heat to Mitch Mcconnell. Mcconnell is not delivered the white house. Mr. Mnuchin going to kentucky is a dual thing. Lets make this happen. But also looking over your shoulder and we expect some results for the american people. This is critical to the trump administration. They have to deliver. Will quit before we let you go, we expect President Trump to head out to phoenix tomorrow. Its expect he would get a chilling reception in phoenix. A lot of protests. Is it a good idea to head to phoenix tomorrow . I think he should go and stand right there in the world and make his case for safe borders. But look, the message has to be this across the spectrum of our Broad Coalition. Ben franklin said we either hang together where we hang separately. Thats her choice. Cheryl boyd, ken, jonah cannot thank you for being here. We appreciate your day. Thanks, cheryl. Good to be with you. Lauren coming up, the nation gets with you.
