on his first day as secretary of zinke rior, ryan eliminated the previous dministration's ban.eers and applause] president trump: ryan's going to be great. we have also moved very quickly to restore something gun owners care about very, very much, it's called the rule of law. [cheers and applause] president trump: we have made clear that our administration will always stand with the ncredible men and women of law enforcement. [applause] president trump: countless members of law enforcement are also members of the n.r.a. because our police know that we -- know that are responsible gun ownership saves limbs and the right of self-defense is essential to public safety. do we all agree with that? [applause] president trump: our police and sheriffs also know that when you ban guns, only the criminals will be armed. for too long washington has gone after law-abiding gun owners making it easy for gang members nd criminals, ms-13. it's not pleasant for them anymore, folks. that's a bad group. [cheers and applause] president trump: not pleasant for ms-13. get them the hell outta here. ge

we have a big role in delivering to make sure ant members of congress and dministration know what we do for the citizens that we share and we want to make sure that we ave a partnership with the federal government that is constructive. host: what are you asking for hen you meet with members of congress and the white house folks? guest: well, we were encouraged, the transportation steering committee, we were encouraged when president trump in his victory speech that in fact infrastructure was going to be important to his administration, we want to make sure that investment works for all counties across the country because of roads, airports, bridges and transit systems. host: bryan desloge, where does the federal government impact counties than most? guest: across the board. about it, from my perspective, i think criminal ustice is one of the biggest ones, think about the way the country lays out. population, rld's 25% of the world's incarcerated people, we have 11 to 12 million per year that run through county jails. run by ming majority counties, only 2 million in the state and fede

colleagues here at the state department embodies a commitment that comes from the very top of our dministration. as secretary tillerson has said, there is study after study to confirm that when you empower women in these developing parts of the world, you change the future of the country because you change the cycle within the families. women's empowerment is not just a moral imperative, it is a strategic investment in our collective security. in short, when women do better, countries do better. women's security is a matter of international security. without it, we all lose. president trump and his administration are committed to expanding opportunities for women and girls domestically and across the globe. on february 13, president trump and canadian prime minister trudeau launched the united states-canada council for the advancement of women entrepreneurs and business leaders. on february 28, president trump signed two bills into law. first, the inspiring the next space pioneers and innovators and explorers act and second, the promoting women and entrepreneurship act, both of which encourage

going to places they want to go, do people live where they want to live and it's the end of our dministration do people feel like their life and their quality of life, their standard of life and their future is better than it was the day we got there. if we did that, that's what we should be competitive. >> what do you think is the most important tool for doing that? i'm going to take you back , to fisher-price and a toy factory, biggest toys in the city, shut down in mexico and china , the city never really recovered much. what can you do to help bring or keep those kind of jobs back in ? >> we have to provide a, the tax rates that make corporate competitive in this country. that's the first place we are going to start. we have a 35 percent corporate tax ate. the oecd rate is 23 . you know, if you look at 23 versus 35, we're not competitive. there's tax domiciles where you can get substantially lower but the president has been constantly talking about rate matters so we've got to start with taxes. because companies, the first thing they're going to make his build a business, i'm successful,

know, there's a traditional american ntiimperialism, which you see running through every dministrationas there, with roosevelt, you know, and -- but stronger among the republicans than the democrats, interestingly enough. deep, a blicans had a visceral -- the republican base visceral idea of the base of the british empire but for isenhower, it was really a simple calculation that i its oned earlier, which on face seems absolutely reasonable, that the arabs are in a conflict with the british israelis, and we have taken the side of the british, who are in terrible decline. can't reconstitute the british empire. impossible. they're in terrible decline. the wave of the future is nationalism. we have to find the basis for with the n nationalists. that's totally reasonable. is in trying then to do that, this vacuum was reated, and the soviet union came in with nasser and explo exploited it. soviet union very cleverly -- so in the suez they realized that was serious about stopping his allies and was brink oftake it to the economic destruction, they against clear threats the british and israel

that you have much more economic activity and we have seen, three times now, during the kennedy ,dministrationduring the bush the w bush administration, and the third one i'm having a brain --p on, where revenue reagan's administration, where wentues to the government up after the tax rates were reduced, not down. host: mike, you and others might be interested in the "wall street journal" editorial. host: so, they are arguing that now is a good time. they go on to say that this plan eliminates all the reduction's except for home mortgages and charitable donations. anna, falls church, virginia, democratic line, we are talking about the wish list from the white house on tax changes. what do you think? i think that donald trump should not be the man to do this job. he is shady about his own taxes and he is going to benefit the very rich, like himself. he just wants to benefit himself and the very rich. what if the republicans and the white house reach out to democrats on this? that this is a truly bipartisan proposal in the end. democrats getting on board. would you, yourself as a democrat, like

atlantic magazine did a story that showed that 24 journalists working journalists went into the obama dministration. do you know what it's like to be a press secretary on the phone with a reporter asking legitimate news worthy stories only to realize later do you know what it's like to be a press that reporter entered the administration against those ideas that you hold. and they will say to themselves we're fair, independent, neutral. but 24 went into the obama administration. it reminds me of the saturday night live in 2008 between hillary and obama. the press now loved f loves to cover donald trump. but remember how they had the debate and the press' question was can we put any pillows behind you barack obama? how many pillows would you like? i don't think that's fundamentally changed in the eight years of the coverage. the press loved barack obama. they loved his story as a candidate, his speech in 2006 and i brought with me some of the greatest quotes about barack obama. time, joe kline, obama seemed the political equivalent of a rain bow inspiring awe and ecstacy. meredith, many people after

has faced since 1973, an act of criminal investigation into a sitting president's campaign and dministration. every week new evidence surfaces indicating that trump campaign officials colluded with a hostile foreign power to influence the election to undermine our democracy. numerous senior officials from the trump campaign have been caught lying about their communicationses with russian officials -- communications with russian officials. even the attorney general, who would be rod rosenstein's boss, was forced to recuse himself after the press revealed that he misled this committee, this judiciary committee, about his own contacts. and time and again, the white house has shown they're not going to respect the independence of any investigation. so members assume the role of deputy attorney general in this administration will face extraordinary tests of integrity. it's against this unprecedented background that we'll consider mr. rosenstein's nomination today. in fact, anyone paying attention, let alone somebody familiar with the justice department, understands the situation calls for appoint

just want to back up and explain why the ,dministration took the course and it actually was not related to campaign rhetoric at all. precedentsme court based on what presidents say during a campaign. we will have interesting governing in the 21st century. so here is the administration of us yes thinking, -- administration's thinking, and to refugees, the only numbers we they are even though very small numbers, it is people who are brought here as very young kids and who were radicalized later. that is accurate. but the whole point is we had such a tiny radicalized population to begin with in the united states, and terrorists in america are a small data set. we are here with a very, very small population. and to address any policies to keep the terrorists out, you are being inefficient, because you cannot pick a group that is going to define terrorists for you, but here is some of the administration's thinking. keepf the things we do is track of terror plots against the united states since 9/11, and it keeps changing. we are like in the 94 to 95 range. years, all of them have been homegr
