there were so many people -- >> tom daschle, let's remember, tom daschle did not, did not report as imputede the cost of a rich person lending him his car, which he should have done. i'm not excusing it. that's not even a one-our story in the trump admin. boom. >> trump, as long as i can keep you on the payroll i can contain you. >> it's also like who is his circle. the other mar-a-lago person i love is our new ambassador to south africa. >> bag lady. >> a name, lot of marks. handbag designer. >> whaz her qualification? >> she's a mar-a-lago member. >> the other difference is even the george w. bush administration, i was diametrically opposed. when george bush tried to put harriet meyers -- >> that was an enormous scandal. >> the conservative movement rose up against it and took her down. what you have of the conservative movement has left the party. everyone says yes, sir, mr. trump. >> fascinatingly you bring that up. trump has not tried to cross that line with the supreme court. >> true. >> what bush tried to do was put a crony on the supreme court. they were like, oh, no. where trump ha

shanty edwards daschle in london has more on this. well if you're struggling to keep up with all the latest developments you're certainly not alone and one thing that we can all actually agree on and keep up with is the fact that to resume a deal probably won't make it through parliament in january and today the cabinet use its last meeting before breaking up for christmas to agree to ramp up no deal preparations even though it's still certain still believes that delivering the deal that the prime minister did agree in process is still the government's top priority having said that bracks that is just one hundred days away now so ministers are now preparing for a note let me just talk you through a bit of those preparations we're hearing that all u.k. citizens will be sent information about how to prepare for a no till breakfast and think of it maybe like a survivor sky two a no deal but most worryingly the defense secretary gavin williamson he's saying that three thousand five hundred troops could be put on the streets on standby to

in 2001 and he made mention of the fact that it seemed like the economy was a little shaky and tom daschle and all of these folks jumped on him and said don't talk down the economy, for heavens sakes you will investors and the market will come down. and the self-fulfilling prophecy and i tell you i cannot turn on the television now without hearing some smart person talking about this is the end of this economic expansion. nonsense. nonsense. the only reason that should happen is if we turn our attention away from things that have actually delivered this economic revival to this country and in fact rebuilt the middle class. and we should be rejoicing on that. the congressional budget office, it's no secret i have had my feet within this last two years. where's the congressional budget office this figure on the number of people who are covered by employer-sponsored plans who weren't covered two years ago? if the economy has added 2 1/2 million jobs in my limited way of thinking about things, those are two and half million people who may have the availability for employer-sponsored insurance.
