cleanly or not. even without the consent of the congress. to make some serious impact and then leave and go onto other things hiking the public could forgive him. >> do think that this is the most important moment for his presidency? >> guest: it is going to be indicative of the success of the the rest of his presidency. israel has said that there want this to happen. that will help in a bipartisan way with congress and hopefully that will help him get closer to a majority. i do not know if he's going to achieve that what the house. >> speaking of some of the moving parts we're going to talk about that and our next hour. the domestic issues in the next hour with michael
