hats off to ben carson for pushing this. we have added not only the tax incentives, but we have added a piece on education reform, job training reform, things of that sort that can go along with it. security and safety also. it is a fabulous idea, i think it is a great way to broaden the base of prosperity. the way i look at that is i think i said this in cabinet the other day. for me, i want every nook and cranny to share in prosperity. i don't believe, and judging from the experience of the past many decades, the government can do that. i do believe we should try the private investment capital route. and again, these other areas of reform, i think it's a very big deal. the final product will be out soon, very soon. i think it will prove to be a great success. i think you will see a lot of movement of capital in these areas. >> we are in the political season, but going into 2020, is the administration and president, you and others, going to be asking that quintessential question for four more years are you better off than y

for everyone, maybe that is just him, mike pins, are you born in vietnam, kelly ann, guatemala, ben carsonwith cannedda tell me where the vibranium has been, tell me where it is. but believe it or not, trump lying about his dad's birth was the least crazy thing that he did yesterday. because later on that night, he went to the republican spring dinner, all right. stood in front of that hedge that homer simpson disappears into, and proceeded to roast joe biden. >> general, give me a kiss. i felt like joe biden. they got to him. our former vice president, i dn know him well, i was going to say welcome to the world, joe. are you having a good time, joe? >> trevor: wow. i love how trump sounds like he's the host of the metoo club. yeah, he is just like welcoming joe biden, come in, come in, we've been waiting for you. let me teach you the secret handshake. like it's pretty insane that trump has the balls to roast joe biden for a nonsexual accusation when he literally has been accused of sexual assault by a dozen women. it's like boeing roasting you for a fender bender, ha ha, you can't drive.

to do is to increase educational opportunities and to decrease draconian policies like uncle tom ben carson who's calling for turnaround down even more and less likely they haven't let's be nice and one now we're not going to be nice about it it's time to be honest like you know. we're living in a country right now where we happy a white supremacist a president who's been called a racist by people like bernie sanders elizabeth warren commentators across the country a person a person who defends white supremacy in virginia and even if he didn't say any of any of those things all we need to do to see the process of his white supremacy is just to look at that. budget which is all about hurting the poor and driving them into more poverty and into more crime so that he can help his friends out in the private prison industrial complex that's just that. wow a lot there i don't understand how being current is all good because you say he wants to have illegal aliens a public housing if we said it is a problem in a new city with poverty people don't have housing you don't have food being carson is sa

when i joined the ben carson campaign, then donald trump campaign, i was brought on not for my ties to russia, i don't have ties to russia, i never met a russian official. this entire situation, i never met an official on face of baseless, you could understand how this ridiculous this investigation was. so i was proi brought in as eney expert in middle east, you know fbi from what i have been told, everyone can see, i had a target on me. kennedy: that is what i don't understand. you also were very eager to introduce president to vladimir putin, and arranger a meeting, if you did not have ties to russia and no policy expertise in russia, why were you so desperate to make that connection. >> i introduced candidate donald trump to the egyptian president. kennedy: that makes sense. >> however as a foreign policy advisadviser to a boss who wanto work with russia on geopolitical level, it was my duty to help articulate on why it is important to work with russia officially go on foreign policy trip to europe and russia, to me logic was have have donald trump meet vladimir putin like mitt romn

senate to speak out against the president, briefly with rand paul and my final campaign was with ben carson. i cannot imagine anyone on any of those campaigns doing what took place on the trump campaign in 2015 and '16. . it's further concerning that russia was able to manipulate individuals so high up in the campaign and none of them realized this was against the law and if they did realize it, then that alone should concern us that the president should not be in office. i think once donald trump is out of office, congress has to likely pass some time of legislation to make it a law that every single future candidate releases their tax returns because the american people has to know that something like this cannot occur again where the president of the united states is beholden to a foreign power. it disgusts me that not a single republican in the senate has said anything about this. if barack obama did half of what donald trump did, they would have dragged him out of the white house days, week, months ago. >> carol, should they also, the congress, look into whether or not there should be
