grover had a great insights. and i'd like to associate myself with his optimism if not -- i can't replicate his passion. i'm optimistic we're going to have a tax bill. i'm hopeful that the folks in the room are optimistic. that's why they're here, not just for the free food. i hope you're here because you believe there will be a tax bill and you want to know more about it and what it might look like or what it should try to look like. i want to try to touch on a few issues sort of generally what tax reform is or can be or should be. and then i'll try to touch on some of the economics and particularly the economics can around corporate tax cuts and corporate tax reform. first an issue that the past speakers addressed. this question of tax cuts versus tax reform. which is which. why are we calling this reform? why did we call the other bills during the bush era tax cuts. are we pore one or the other. the first key and this is i think consistent with what grover was saying, it's not a binary choice. if you ask acade

i made hur to attribute it to grover. >> that was important. thank you, ronica. we've got two weeks to go until virginia and it go to the polls. we'll be right back. ralph northam: i'm ralph northam, candidate for governor, and i sponsored this ad. narrator: they call him enron ed. because washington, dc lobbyist ed gillespie worst. lenders trying to keep student loan rates high. corporations sending jobs overseas. and of course the enron scandal. now, enron ed is lobbying for donald trump's agenda. like cuts to virginia school funding, and taking away healthcare from thousands of virginians. enron ed gillespie. he's not lobbying for you. do you look at the polls. obviously virginians want somebody to stand up to the poll ticketed events. we have a candidate that is nothing more than a washington lobbyist. virginians they want somebody to take us to the next level. we brought in over 215,000 new jobs to virginia in the last three and a of that a years. our unemployment rate has gone from 5.4 to 3.7 percent. it's the lowest it's been in nine years. so good things

grover makes this point it's because we love government. i think the thing about fiscal responsibly is it has nothing to do with the size of government. you can be a big government fiscal responsible person or small government fiscally responsible person. it means being willing to pay things today rather than shifting the bill to our children. i think that is a principle we should be able to agree on a palm is oftentimes fiscal responsibility issues as defense. one party starts to talksp about it to keep the other party from enacting the legislation they pursue. in terms of grover norquist i would say it's a weakness in his approach to all of this which is always been he's asked for a big pledge no new taxes. if what youol want is small government and lower taxes, you don't get that by cutting taxes. you get that by cutting spending. we are group that is open and supportive of cutting spending. unfortunately one of the things we haven't heard much at all in this budget process or these resolutions. but if grover really wanted what he says h

grover norquist doesn't like that. he is here and says one of the top 20 dumbest things he ever heard. americans for tax reform, grover norquist. i'm not surprised you think it is pretty dumb. it is pretty dumb. explain why to the viewer its one the dumbest things you heard in your life. >> the democrats and criticizing president trump and republicans tax proposals, saying it is for rich people. this doubles the standard deduction for everybody, $12,000 not being taxed, to $24,000 for a married couple. this cuts taxes for 30 million small businesses. cuts tax rates for everybody. takes the 10% rate down to zero. this is designed to help all americans. however, the democrats in their playbook, when somebody says how about cutting taxes whether in tennessee or massachusetts or the national government, they yell just for the rich. some republicans are going, evidently if we don't drop the top rate, and cut all the other rates, see, look, oh, democrats you're right. yes, it is political and it won't work because the democr

david: grover, meanwhile you know this very well, you live in washington. all the lobbiests are at full bore in washington trying to make their point. we had congressman meadows on earlier today, on a different program. he said, in the morning, just this morning, he had four group of lobbyists come in to try to twist his arm about their special privileges, one way or the other. do they, obviously they're not wasting their money. they think they're having an effect. are they? >> i don't think so. what wiped out k street during the reagan reform in '86 was taking the top rate for individuals down to 28. when you take the corporate rate down from 35 to 20, makes it difficulties for any business tax break to matter compared to. we need the same thing for individuals. david: finally the question whether the votes are there on republican side. senator bob corker, who has been kind of a inconvenience for the trump administration over the past couple days on several subjects said the following to npr last week. he said, unless it, and he is talking about the tax bi

elizabeth: grover norquist joins us now. good to now. good to see you grover. senator corker santa present is basically defacing the debate. will this fight get in the way of g.o.p. and the way of tax cuts coke? will they get the vote? >> jeff flake is a solid libertarian republican. likes tax cuts and he's for tax cuts. i met with him a week or two ago and he's excited about the tax cuts. corker is a grown-up and he's been a solid free-market senator and mayor. before this he has a long record of supporting lower taxes. they abolish the death tax in tennessee. they went to zero income tax in tennessee. he understands the importance of this. you can have the twitter fight with the president and cut taxes. you can walk and chew gum at the same time. both of these senators are quite capable of doing both of those things separately. elizabeth: here we have senator corker single when the president's term is over just the name-calling in the things i'm saying that the basement of the nation is what we will be remembered most important and that's regret though. what

you might need to reconsider >>> tax debate showdown, grover rqstnd jared bernstein stay tuned, you'reg "squawk box" on cnbc retail. under pressure like never before. and it's connected technology that's moving companies forward fast. e-commerce. real time inventory. virtual changing rooms. that's why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent network speed across multiple locations. every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. comcast business outmaneuver. people don't invest in stocks and bonds. they don't invest in alternatives or municipal strategies. what people really invest in is what they hope to get out of life. but helping them get there means you can't approach investing from just one point of view. because it's only when you collaborate and cross-pollinate many points of view that something wonderful can happen. those people might just get what they want out of life. or they could get even more. a used car, what they want out of life. after reports that amazon was considering sel

grover, is this thing in trouble? >> no. this is exactly what you should expect. everybody who wanted something extra in the tax bill for themselves and didn't get it is going to throw a minor his city fit. -- hissy fit. the earlier part that you make, you know, delaying the phase-in, that would be a disaster both politically and economically. we delayed the reagan tax cuts phase-in from '81 to '82 to '83, and the recovery started in january of '83 which was almost a year after the '82 election where the republicans got hammered because you didn't have growth. neil: right. >> so you want the election after the rates come down which means you want the rates to come down before, way before the november 2018 election. a delay is foolish. i don't think they'll do it. they're old enough to have lived through the reagan tax cuts where a delay costs republicans house and senate seats. so it -- i don't think that'll happen. but, look, lots of trade associations are going to complain that they want their thing in. neil: yeah. >> a tax cut, every year you have a republican

happy friday, guys >> absolutely. >> grover, between this development regarding a fourth bracket and reports that suggest the way they might carve up salt and last night, how much easier did this get >> well, with last night, we assured that we will get corporate rate down to 20%, that we're going to get rid of the death tax, that we're going to go to full business expensing for five years all of the major parts of tax reform will be enacted and you saw the senators rand paul, who voted no on the budget, announced he's all in for tax reform susan collins, the people had wondered about, has said she wants to get to tax reform so all of the senators who you thought, maybe they could do to tax reform what they did to health care reform, they have all announced not happening. the conservative caucus in the house is in. we'll see tax reform sooner rather than later. i mean, this process moves it up about three weeks. >> are you more worried, grover, about the murkowski/collins, that triumvirate in there, or the freedom caucus what is the bigger threat to the legislation? >> right now, nei

earlier today i spoke with grover nor quits, a conservative voice prn r pushing for tax re form. he characterizes the economy and he says, quote, the economy itself still sucks. what's your reaction to that and for those who people who aren't benefiting from the success of the park the right now? i think there's also a lot of other things beyond ju that the unemployment levels have dropped, it's certainly a big fact. the fact that 1.7 million jobs have been createdded since trument was elected. those are all positive things in the economy. we didn't say it was completely fixed but we're moving in the right direction. i think we've been more successful in the first nine months than obama was in the last eight years. they're touting this attack at tax reform. they say he it will affect you, they say it will affect all of us so we want to know what you think. we're going to be back on five at six thirty with the pulse of the people if the republicans get this done do you think your life is going to change come april 15 . use the hashtag, you know i live to hear from you. >> a major

dagen: joining me president of americans for tax reform grover norquist with tax vice chair grover houseutting taxes on people who earn a million dollars or more a year smart in your opinion? >> the democrats always say any tax cut favors the rich they did that when reagan cut taxes equally crossing for bracket they will do it this time doesn't buy you anything, the democrats will attack any tax cut with the same rhetoric. so i think it is not a good idea, i hope they don't do it. but the package is extremely pro-growth, and the idea that, once, again, we get growth the stock market does better, and we get more jobs, as happened with the reagan tax cuts, no one is going back and listen to politics envy and greed democrats are pedaling makes noise now much more important jobs for people who didn't have them during the obama administration. dagen: kate do you think that we get because it does seem like the stars are lining up in d.c. to give to basically come up with a surtax do you think that happens. >> i do i think going to be tough to make all the numbers work from a budget specificity

grover, thank you for coming on with us this morning.is saying the most important thing is that americans are getting tax cuts. but the question still remains is it a tax cut for everyone? how do you see it? >> it's a tax cut for the whole country. we'll be dropping taxes 1.5 trillion dollars over the next decade. every american will see their rates cut, their individual rates. and you are looking if you're a business person or invest in a company the corporate rate is coming down for all americans both for people with large -- investing in large companies and for the 30 million americans who own and operate small pass-through companies sub chapter s corporations. those rates are all coming down. we're getting rid of the death tax and the alternative minimum tax. if you organized your life around a particular tax loophole you need to reorganize your life and your taxes will be sufficiently down as well. >> sandra: when you say that you are saying similarly to mccarthy that depending on how you slice it some people could end up paying mor

grover norquist joins us now.ident trump learn from president reagan's mistake in his first term? >> right. president reagan had a 25% cut in marginal tax rates. but, the democratic house of representatives insisted that it come in three years. 5% in '81, 10% in '82 and third 10% in '83. the recovery did not start until january first, 1983. and it was a great recovery. 4 million jobs created in 1983. one million jobs alone created in one month of october. however, the election was in '82. and in 1982, the republicans lost more than 20 house seats because the economy was so weak. had we gone to a immediate 25% across the board, we could have had that recovery start a year earlier. so, fast forward to today, there was some talk, foolish talk, i hope, among some of the people crafting the tax bill that maybe you could delay the reduction of the corporate income tax from 35% to 20%. that would be a disaster because it would delay the strong boost that 20% down from 35% would give the economy. brian: maybe the rereoper

only 50% of americans are invested in the stock market, and you know, earlier today, i spoke with grover norquist who is pushing for tax reform and he characterizes the economy and he says quote that the e kconomy itself still suck, and what is your reaction to that and for the people who are not benefit ing from the success of the market right now? >> well, i think that there is also a lot of other things beyond the stock market, and the fact that unemployment levels have dropped and this is a big thing and the fact that 1.7 million new jobs have been created since donald trump was elect and those are positive things in the economy. we did not say it is completely fixed, but we are moving in the right direction, and we have been more successful in the first nine months than obama was in eight years. >> sarah, two questions. one is that do we understand that when the president is hit, he hits back, but what is he trying to accomplish when he says that bob corker could not win a race for dog catcher, and what is he trying to accomplish? >> well, look, i think that the president is voicing

in the budget committee, grover about what heing said about people who live in washington. i thought he lived in washington and is constantly on the television speaking as he did about no new taxes and yet somehow he is there in gc trying to lobby things. i think maya actually represents a long-standing kind of reality conversation, as she stated. as republicans have always spoke about not increasing the debt. we now saw from the budget markup yesterday, all of the senators on the republican side -- that was lucas strange, that purdue man, lindsey graham, the chair -- all of those are men. they primarily are from southern states who received defense budget expenditures in terms of their economy -- without that kind of defense authorization which they also are increasing in spending. you speak about the fact that spending is, in fact, where we need to create clarity for a real discussion. could you speak to us about how it is -- the first question. if in fact this budget that they are creating -- will that in -- inhe past without reconciliation. host: let's handle that quest

and you know earlier today, i spoke with grover norquist, a prominent conservative voice pushing morning tax reform. he says, economy itself still sucks. what is your reaction to that? for those people who aren't benefiting from the success of the market right now? >> i think there is also a lot of other things beyond just the stock market. the fact unemployment levels have dropped. that is big thing. the fact 1.7 million new jobs been created since donald trump was elected. there are positive things in the economy. we didn't say it was completely fixed. we're moving in the right direction. we have been more successful first nine months than obama was in eight years. reporter: sarah, we understand when the president gets hit he hits back but what is he trying to accomplish when he says bob corker couldn't win a race for dog catcher? what is he trying to accomplish? >> look i think that the president is voicing the frustration that probably you see from a lot of people in the state of tennessee which is why senator corker's numbers are where they are. reporter: my second question, can you

the democrats, we know who they ran successfully twice, grover cleveland, who hired the poor polish guy to fight for him. there's a disconnection between who's getting elected as a republican and a democrat to the presidency. the republicans would say of course the democrats are running a draft dodger. we run generals, they run draft dodgers. the democrats did run one former general for president, hancock in 1880. and he did ok. but he did not win. it is a plus to have union veteran on your resume if you're running for office after the civil war. and the democrats struggle with this notion that they were not really fully on board with this struggle to save the union. they came back, once the former confederate states were back, the democrats regained control of the house of representatives. in 1874, didn't take a decade. but the republicans used the union cause very, very effectively. they also, the loyal citizenry, did a number of things to commemorate the union cause. they established what they called decoration day, what we call memorial day now, which was a day to go specifically an

grover norquist when i was rank thing committee gave a full-throated -- his full-throated support formmigration comprehensive reform with the basis we could bring down the debt and there have been cbo studies on that and we could bring in more talent and create more jobs, and i think that the 2013 figure back then would reduce the deficit by 1 158 billion over ten years. 25% of our u.s. nobel lawyer laureate were born in other countries, and can you tell me where you are on this? >> sure. think that as an economize, we talked earlier in the hearing about how if you want more output you need more input and one input is labor, and in any economy, immigration is an important source of labor, and also that we have borders that need to be protected. i'm not an expert on border security but there's bipartisan agreement that -- >> we had bill liking this out of the senate that did both things. passed the senate that had significant forwarding for the border and also allow this kind of legal immigration i'm talking about. >> i'd be happy to discuss that specifically with you. >> very good. >>

the grover norquist was very receiling to you. i will try to put a lipstick on a tax cut pig. not turning out the way they wanted to be. but to your point, stuart, better than nothing. president is holding a tax reform meeting. at that meeting representatives of the national association of manufactures, u.s. chamber of commerce, business roundtable. tomorrow we get a lot of details. where the brackets kick in. whether there is additional bracket for folks like charlie gasparino, et.al. we have a pool spray later from the white house and the meeting. blake, what are you hearing? reporter: every two or three weeks, we have the president with the pool spray and we're awaiting video. president made a couple of headlines. stuart went through them. the tax bill from the house by thanksgiving. wants a signing ceremony here at white house by christmas. when he was asked whether or not the corporate rate phased in, he said hopefully not. we'll see the video here from the president. deeper comments coming in upcoming minutes. here is what i tell you about this meeting this is trade asso

we were over by fountain grove and the in on the corner there between fat and grover -- it is gone. firefighters do not have the resources right now to try to protect structures. their main concern is trying to get people out and protect the people. the issue, is that the wind is changing direction. what seems like every few minutes. so the flames are pushed in one direction and then push somewhere else. so when they think that they are getting those neighborhoods evacuated and keeping people safe all the sudden it turns. we are hearing from a lot of residents they do not know what is going on. it is hard to get cell phone service here we lost service for a while. power has been going in and out of the area. residence here are just shellshocked. they cannot believe that all of this has happened. when they went to bed last night everything was fine. there was a wind warning and they knew that there were red flag conditions. and it seems like there were a lot of calls about downed power lines overnight. so that is definitely going to be something they will look at. and the cause of th

grover norquist, hold on, let me pose the question, can the president get the 50 votes he needs for taxat the end of the day. you saw with the vote on the budget which you had to have in order to get to tax reform, susan collins said i am yes on the budget because i want to do tax reform, signaling are 1-vote but the upcoming vote on tax reform, murkowski of other morning tweeted for tax reform. stuart: that was a very firm yes, that is an important point. peter kiernan, i want to talk markets, a big day on the stock market. more to the point, a big day for profits which implied to me the economy is growing nicely. >> great earnings momentum. caterpillar shot the lights up, did a phenomenal job. the dow component doing well followed it. things like ge which is down 25%, the worst performer of the dow, they come up with their strategy. don't buy the lost souls. this is a great day. stuart: it is off and running. political story of the morning is this fight between donald trump and senator corker, a low-level fight, almost personal. that stop bob corker voting yes on tax cuts. >> a strong
