guy benson. some of the federal courts allow you to have a camera.bout the three judges, clinton appointees who heard the case yesterday and seemed skeptical and referred back to the president's comments he made as a candidate. it seemed to be more than the text of the ban itself. so do you think it matters what he said on the campaign trail and would it have mattered if the same ban came out from, say, a president barack obama? >> that's the question. the lawyer in this case who is arguing against the trump administration executive order kept going back and saying context matters. here is what the president, then a candidate, said about muslims or a ban. what the government lawyer is saying arguing for the trump administration is what matters now is the fact that donald trump is the president and there is black and white text available. there is an actual executive order here. not a campaign promise, it's not some potential idea that might take shape. it has taken shape and here is what it actually says and in practice it is within the scope of the

he was questioned by charles benson of nbnbc. me to november. you know a lot of republicans since 1984 the presidential election have not been able to win in wisconsin. why would i it be in a different for ted cruz or donald trump? >> i think hillary clinton is about the weakest candidate the democrats have ever put up, and now we have photo i do. i think photo id will make a little bit of a difference as well. amy: that was republican congressman grothman speaking lastst year. under report has called into question whether president trump would have actually won wisconsin during the 2016 presidential election without the state's strict voter id law. the study was published by the progressive advocacy group prioritieses usa. it says the law suppressed the votes of more than 200,000 residents, the majority of whom were african american and democratic leaning. president trump won only aboutt 2323,000 more votes than hillary clinton in wisconsin. >> i wrote about this this week. they found that overall, tuturnt increased by 1.3 percent in 2016 over

and co-host of our show "vel she rule" debuting here on msnbc, 12:30 eastern standard time and joel bensonned ryan. ned, i want to start with you, i know the of the trump team wants to turn this page. >> there are a couple things. his speech that he's going to be giving i think will be really interesting. the themes that i think will be coming out unifying the muslim world against extremism, taking a hardline against iran, but also saying that they're going to start sharing security -- some of the security burden in the middle east and juxtapose himself against the cairo speech in 2009 of obama's. trying to lay that marker down obviously in regards to nato he will be going back to say there is a role for nato, strongly encourage people to put up 2% of their gdp. israel again, we'll see, you know, this whole situation with the supposed leaking of information, intelligence from israel. i think that israel realizes their best friend that they have in the entire world is the u.s. so there might be a little bit of a strong conversation at some level, but i think that's going to be anotherreat s

culmination of an eight-year exercise, actually began with a capital gains rate reduction where lloyd benson, later treasury secretary, championed through and got people started thinking how to redesign the tax system and that's what jack kemp and bill roth and others ran with to got us first to 1981 tax cuts and the 1986 tax reform act. it was a long process. part of the reason it was such a long process, that 1986 tax reform bill was an incredibly complicated piece of legislation because they tried to solve every single tax problem that they could they had identified. whether dealing with master or limited partnerships or pensions or what have you, this was comprehensive in the broadest sense of the term tax reform if we go down that road right now we have a really still great chance of getting tax reform done probably sometime in 2019 or 2020. if you want to get it done soornings which is what we need to do, we identified the key elements. we need to keep it a very focused package. what are the two or three or four major things we need to do to help the economy to get it to be stronger an

. >> bill: guy benson with us in studio for a change. nice to see you, guy. good morning to you. you just heard dr. krauthammer's view of it. what is your view based on what we think we know right now? >> i think he is generally correct. the opposition would argue kushner didn't have a well defined position at that time. the development we've reporting today and "the new york times" has gotten it from trump sources that the russians were the ones who broached this initial contact with kushner. that could be a game changer about the dynamics and who might be in the wrong. >> bill: explain the reason to differentiate that. why could that be significant? >> the way the "washington post" reported it and a lot of official washington is handling the news is that jared kushner, the son-in-law of the president elect at that point, called up the russians or contacted the russians and said hey, let's get together and chat. i want to talk about some things and by the way, let's do it at your secure facility over your secure system. that looks a little unusual, frankly, to a lot of people in

. >> shannon: for more on that guy benson is a political editor and fox news contributor.ee you this morning. as they're doing the whip counts where they try to figure out what votes they have, role call is reporting seven members of the gop whip team themselves are undecided. are they going to be able to herd the cats? >> that's the big question now. a few weeks ago it looked like it was the house freedom caucus, the conservatives who had more objections and derailing the initial version of this bill. now it's a lot more moderates who are skittish about pre-existing conditions. it is a misplaced fear in a number of ways but it's a difficult job for speaker ryan and the whip team because of what you just said. when you have members of your whip team undecided, that says the lot about the status of things. >> shannon: okay. we're looking as gop leadership has taken the podium. do we want to listen in or wait for the speaker to get involved? let's listen. >> i'm excited this bill has come to the floor and that the speaker and the leader and the chair woman have been so suppo
