build america bonds for a successful innovation and drove a lot of investment. do you see similar proposals out there that can help with infrastructure investment? >> here's where we are with infrastructure. first and foremost, we have got to lock down public investment in infrastructure. in other words, i'm a big supporter of a thoughtful bipartisan effort to get additional money from the private sector into infrastructure. senator schumer has proposed a trillion dollar infrastructure plan in effect and i'm very much for that. it speaks to the public side, which is what we have always said would be the traditional approach to making sure that we adequately funded bridges and roads and infrastructure. and we look to broaden the definition out. i do believe if we can lock down the public side of the infrastructure debate, i think we'll have a chance to go on and talk about the private side. senate john hoeven and i, the former governor of north dakota have for some time worked on a proposal that in effect uses the states to drive a lot of the decision-making as i

more thann $180 billion when the build america bonds sold, and a year and half. others away to get private money off the sidelines, but not by doing some kind of giveaway to developers. and the reality here is, i mean, talk about tax shelters. from he uber fortunate investor. 82% tax credit on equity they put in, no guidelines or restrictions on the kinds of projects you are financing. in effect this is the american taxpayer just heating money straight in to the pockets of the most fortunate. and my sense is that without anything resembling ground rules, you're going to get billions of dollars if you pass it in this way going towards duplicative -- duplicitous projects that have would've gone ahead even without much taxpayer heaven. and by the way, in case anybody is curious how this might be paid for, that there is it would be paid for by tolls on working-class families. so talk about to tax systems, breaks for people at the top, paying for it with tolls on working-class people who, by the way, my guess is some of them voted for donald trump because they didn't

it's about building america's infrastructure and we have tremendous needs out there. the president said it again and again i've been down to the white house twice in the last two weeks for small meetings with the president and of course i bring up infrastructure every chance i get. he knows what it takes to get a project done and there is a great example on pennsylvania ea avenue the local post office building, the trump hotels dot the bid before the time was to be completed in under budget and that is the kind of thing that he's going to get done. let me just focus on what we need to do to move forward with this infrastructure. the president said a trillion dollars. it's not going to be a trillion dollars coming out of washington, d.c. but there has to be more money coming out and that is how we get there. there are billions of dollars out there today, private sector dollars. hwe talked about two pipeline projects to the constitution pipeline and the atlantic sunrise, to pipelines in pennsylvania, $4 billion of private investment and the corps of engineers and other

i'm proud that in 2009i wrote the build america bond program. nobody had an idea of how it would turn out. more than $180 billion for the funds were sold within a year and half. there's a way to get private money off the sidelines but not by doing something to give away to developers. the reality here is, talk about tax shelters. this is manna from heaven for those who were fortunate investors. it is 2% tax credit on the equity they put in. no guidelines or restrictions on the projects your financing. the american taxpayer just heaving money straight into the pockets of the most fortunate. my sense is that without anything resembling ground rules you'll get billions of dollars if you pass it in this way going toward the projects that would've gone and head without much taxpayer heaven. by the way, case you're curious how this would be paid for, the theory as it would be paid for by tolls on working-class families. to talk about the tax systems and breaks for people at the top paying for with working-class people and to my guesses some of them vo

talk about something like building up america, infrastructure, something that is going to help the american people. host: go ahead. there are still a whatf questions about donald trump that when he said former president obama wiretapped him. the president himself cannot unilaterally issue a wiretap on a u.s. citizen. that is just not something within his executive power. at this point, most experts will tell you that under existing surveillance law, the chance that there was an actual wiretap a far-fetched is theory. but there is a scenario under which communications that came out of trump tower might have been caught up in a u.s. surveillance dragnet if -- if theye agencies had a legitimate wiretap on, say, the russian ambassador and he was speaking to an american person and then that american persons communications within caught up in that dragnet. intelligence agencies can legally use that information. so if somebody and trump tower was spkingo somebody that was under legitimate , there is a perfectly plausible scenario in which u.s. intelligence committee has that information, but that

america first. if we get into tax reform and we have what we call the border adjustability tax of 20%, which is going to put american jobs first, building products in america, i think that could also be a part of bringing our jobs back. you could call that a tax, a tariff or a surcharge on goods made overseas. 20% is a very good start to level the playing field. so a lot of these dots have to be inner connected, and i think as they are we are going to get jobs back in western new york. we certainly have the empty factories that can house these workers again. we have certainly reliable power and educated workforce, plenty of fresh water. so we're ready and waiting for these jobs to materialize. i think they will. >> well, my dad used to work down the road in corning so i know what you're talking about. congressman chris collins, 27th district of new york where you will find many more bills fans than giants or jets. thank you very much. we will have you on down the road. >> good to be with you. >> eugene, your impressions coming out of the speech? >> el with, ywell, you know, wh president of the united states you can't be graded on a curv

the partnership to build america act introduced in the 113th congress by senators bennet and blunt also proposed an american infrastructure fund. this time financed with a form of tax repatriation. in the 114th congress we were actually able to pass the first long-term transportation law in ten years. the fast act short for fixing america's surface transportation authorized more than $300 billion in transportation infrastructure investment over a five-year period. we also passed the water infrastructure improvements for the nation act to address drinking water emergencies and authorized a number of new army corps of engineers projects, including the removal of pilings and other marine debris from the providence river in rhode island. these bipartisan successes, however, barely put a dent in our nation's total infrastructure needs. out on the campaign trail, then-candidate donald trump spoke broadly of a trillion-dollar infrastructure push. i agree, we've got to make that investment in america's infrastructure, but we also need to make sure that we get real commitment from washington, no
