today in his tax speech he also -- he said not in a braggadocious way as if to say i'm about to be braggadocious as if he's accomplished more in ten months than any president ever. but the reality is that the tax legislation moved in the senate. there was real progress today from the white house's perspective. it's not a done deal, but they are closer than they've been in a very long time to having, like, a major legislative accomplishment. there are many hurdles to come before that becomes, you know, something the president can sign. but, you know, don't discount that republicans in congress are highly motivated on that. >> let's ask the members of our panel to stay with us as we go over into our first break. >>> still ahead, later on in this hour we're going to talk about another major media figure fired after sexual misconduct allegations. this one hitting home for a lot of here at 30 rockefeller plaza in new york. >>> and up next the new reports that jared kushner has talked to mueller's russia investigators. that and much more as we move along. on the wednesday edition of "the 11th hour" to

that they would rather have someone like donald trump who is a braggadocious assaulter of women, somebody who isn't even embarrassed about being a sexual assaulter, but better him than her. we have to have anything. we don't care how wicked, we don't care how much of a liar, we don't care how corrupt, we don't care what he is. this is what republicans have essentially told us about donald trump from the beginning. we don't care how low he takes this country, how low he takes this party, what a scoundrel he is, a scam artist, a con-man. and literally, it can be a child molester, as long as it's a republican. we will accept anything. we don't care how it damages the reputation of our party and our country. nothing comes before party. nothing. ever. the one thing you can't say about democrats is that. democrats threw anthony weiner over the side like they just met him. democrats, i mean, they're ready to throw bill clinton over the side 17 years later. but republicans have created a religion out of partisan affiliation and it doesn't matter what a republican has done as long as there's an r

[ cheers and applause ] and we will create countless more, if we can sustain the 3% growth rate we have achieved for the past two quarters, but we're going to do much better than that. remember? i used to say we can hit four, and we could hit three and they were all saying, forget it. forge
