gregory and cnn political commentator errol lewis. what is in this senate bill? why would you matter to you? let's put up big points on what it does. repeels obamacare's individual mandate. also boosts child tax credit. one of the ways they do that is with the revenue from withdrawing the mandate. lowers several middle-income tax rates. we'll discuss corporate tax rate reduced to 20%. now, this big curveball of taking the mandate out, repealing it as a way to achieve health care, that is going to have impacts. what are they? put up the full screen. it will give them more money. it will reduce the deficit by $338 billion. it's going to raise average premiums by approximate 10%. and then there's the big ticket for democrats. 13 million fewer insured over 10 years. david gregregor gregory, what is the top line analysis how this works for republicans and how it challenges democrats? >> well, the math works better. they're trying to get this under the water so they only need 51 votes to do it on a party line basis. and this is a way to attract some conservative republ

back now with errol lewis and karoun demmer january.is part of the issue of selling this entire tax plan where most of the money in the tax cut is in fact, a corporate tax cut. but most of the sales pitch is as a middleclass tax cut. >> right. which is a fundamental mismatch when you're starting out. certainly republicans believe with the corporate tax cut this will help fuel the investment in the economy, create jobs, and balance everything out in the end. but democrats are basically pointing to the raw numbers right there and saying, first of all, you can't prove that is going to happen. corporations hold all kinds of cash they don't put back into the economy. also with this latest report that the projections are over 5, 10 years, the burden of taxes on the middleclass is actually going to go up and the poor is going to go up. that's a direct sales pitch to the people. tax reform is a complicated thing to sell. people are familiar with the parts of it that affect them directly, whether it's state and local taxes or just the raw number

let's discuss what's ahead with our political analyst molly ball, errol lewis and kaitlan hughes forlitics. nice to have you all here. really important meetings ahead, going to pearl harbor first, going to meet with shinzo abe, called japan interestingly last night a warrior nation. we know that this president can be very effective in these one-on-one situations, in this one-on-one meetings and they are so important right now with the backdrop of the tension with north korea. >> right. he needs a lot of things from the leaders he's going to meet in asia, right. he is still trying to get more assistance from china for the north korea problem as well as japan and south korea where he has been somewhat successful. he's looking for ways to restructure our trading relationships with a lot of these countries. and frankly he doesn't have a lot of leverage. he's seen as being in a pretty weak position domestically unlike a lot of foreign leaders, particularly president xi, and he's coming to them asking for things and so it is really going to be a test of whether he can get them to make some
