richard goodstein is a lawyer and he advised hillary clinton'.ichard, i never see a moment where democrats are angry because taxes have been raised on the rich. if there is a sort of poor idea of the democratic party it is that the rich don't pay enough. i democratic tax bill make them pay more and, they are sitting them for it. >> i think the core democratic value is social and economic justice. it's unpopular, the tax bill that passed and, b, it's not working. for most people the wages are flat. so andrew cuomo who you would think is one of the founders of the democratic nomination, he is suing because trump signed a bill that raises taxes on the rich. it doesn't allow the deductions from the federal tax form on state taxes and that only affects rich people and he's outraged by that. did you think that you would live to be old enough to see that? a standard-bearer of progressive values angry that the rich are getting settled. >> the truth is again, and, that's what i did invariably. and, states with high property taxes. the fact remains, the ri

richard goodstein is joining us tonight and, the question is if you signed sounded the alarm for morer at the president is part of a sleeper sail working for vladimir putin to overthrow our democracy from within. i think you believe that, we are very sincere about it and very intent. you haven't commenced anybody. it is a time to do some soul-searching and ask why have i failed? >> here's the fake data. that poll that you cited, half of it was taken before that fabulous press conference that trump had with putin and half afterwards. the aggregate of poles of real clear politics has them at 43, and it's up and down. >> tucker: but the issue numbers are really interesting, don't you think? nobody cares about russia, why? >> of the fact of the matter is, obama, rag doll mike reagan and clinton got clobbered in the midterm elections. >> but hold on, i'm not making that case. i'm not here to say republicans are in the midterm. i'm interested in the ideas, the issues and what actually is moving the country in one direction or the other and russia is what we spent a year and a half talking a

richard goodstein, a former advisor. g.o.p. congressman. congressman, i have to say that i was looking forward to this. i thought at times it wasn't working for the republicans. i think peter strzok did not come across particularly well. kind of snooty, indignant. and everything that works well for a witness. and i like gohmert a lot. i thought that the exchange gohmert and strzok, i did think that was good. i wouldn't have wanted to be one of the republicans when that went down. >> it was a wild day. reading the text is one thing, but to have him sit there and say i said i was going to stop trump, i didn't mean the fbi. it wasn't credible, just like his expo nations were not. the idea that he is doing this. he did act with bias as they had said. how he was focusing on trump russia collusion. here's the thing, we pressed him. he would not answer these questions. what was the basis for the collusion case? he won't tell us. he barely talked about the dossier. that is the troubling thing. you have the bias on this investigation. he even said t

that's coming forward here with richard goodstein, an attorney and was on both of hillary clinton's presidentialampaigns. are you happy with the response to judge kavanaugh? >> brett kavanaugh is a smart guy. lovely family. the story he told last night was moving. the woman who will have to go to a back room rather than a doctor for an abortion, the gay person that can't marry the person they love. the person with a pre-existing condition is scared to death they can't afford health shshs. they don't care how nice of a guy kavanaugh is. these are people's lives. you are talking about criminalization of a woman seeking an abortion. this is a meltdown only because this is destructive to people's lives. >> you admit he is a nice guy but describe somebody who sounds mean and evil. just wanting to focus on destroying -- my activism on the left started with abortion rights. i am a gay woman. i have an interest and i love this country. it's the conservative ideal that reinforces personal freedom. we know judge kavanaugh said he has no interest in overturning roe v. wade. you are repeating this notion th

. >> richard goodstein is a lawyer and advised hillary clinton's campaign.ichard, i never thought i would see a moment where democrats are angry because a republican has raised taxes on the rich. i never thought that would happen. if there is one sort of core idea in the democratic party, it is that the rich don't pay enough. the tax bill makes them pay more in certain places on the east coast and new york and new jersey. and they are suing him for it. how does that work exactly? >> i think the core economic value of social and economic justice. i think the feeling that most of these tax cuts went to corporations and, most people, the wages are flat. >> is not a minor keeper of te democratic party and that only affects rich people. they are angry that that the rich are getting soaked. >> the truth is, what the tax bill did was go after blue state's wealthy people. that's what i did and invariably it hit states like new york and new jersey. >> the fact remains that the democrats are arguing. but it is suggest that whatever trump is for, they are against. >> i

there isis another point of view that's going to come forward with richard goodstein.e's an attorney and has advised both of hillary clinton's presidential campaigns. he joined just now. i guess you're pretty happy with the response to judge kavanaugh. >> he's a very smart guy, with a lovely family, that story he told last night was veryto movi. the woman who is going to go to a back room rather than a doctor for an abortion, the person who can't marry the person that they love, scared to death they don't know how nice a guy brett kavanaugh is. they are definitely concerned, you could call it a melt down on the left, this is people's live lives. you're talking about criminalization that's what donald trump talked about on the campaign trail of a woman seeking an abortion. this is a meltdown only insofar as this is destructive to people's lives. >> tammy: this is what interesting, you admit he's a nice guy and yet you describe it somebody who sounds pretty mean and evil wanting to focus on destroying -- my activism on the left started with abortion rights. i'm a woman.
