joining me now grover norquist president of americans for tax reform, good to see you.inside the beltway in trump team as it gets together about how high up in the priorityi extending the tax code is. >> trump team understands if they don't pass the tax cut, plus things like taking corporate rate to 15, in first few months of this presidency, it will be too late to to effect the 25-26 election year, president lost house of representatives in 2018, 40 republicans lost the house, because they delay the tax cuts it didn't get signed for a year, december 22 you had a wonderful growth in 2019. after we lost the house. nobody wants to do that again that was stupid, that will not happen again, under trump's watch. and under speaker johnson's watch. david: it happened to republicans before, first george bush, read my lips, no new taxes and he did it and he was a one termer. this trump term will be his last trump term but republicans could lose big in midterms coming in tw 2026, then last two years president trump's he could not gel much done. >> he could have a 4 year presidenc

grover cleveland yes, exactly. but did we talked about the pardon power and there is a very thin executive branch law. it's a conclusion with very little analysis i think was issued in 1974 in which the office of legal counsel suggested indicated. and so the hard to say ruled that a self-pardon was not constitutional on the ground and again, it was it's thinly analyzed and i don't think it constitutes particularly strong executive law precedent, executive branch precedent. in any event the united states is not bound by in any way the president could say well that's very nice that it was he has opinion. i could care less. i do think that congress and i'm i think it will but congress could lay down a marker in two areas whether it ultimately could prevail given what don and the general have said about the apparent full commitment to the president of the pardon. one is self pardons. congress could lay down a marker about that but the second is the corrupt use of pardons. now, imagine, for example, that a president sel

but to kick off the celebration, grover, elmo and abby are stopping by studio one to talk about their excitement. we got to sing a song with miss sosa. wow. and we also. oh, and samara joy. oh, my. chris stapleton. we sang a song with him, too. yeah. and mr. michael b jordan came by. oh, that was cool. that was really wonderful. okay, can someone tell me how to get to sesame street? i want to go. yeah. no kidding. right. i've been looking all these years. i've been trying to get to sesame street. all right. look. not only can you see the cast of sesame street, but you can also catch hoda kotb on her second to last today show ever as co-host. yes, the week long hoda continues. that's on today show following today's special report from the national cathedral. a lot going on. all right. well, we found it. that's the closest you're going to get to sesame street. i love it here. i know, as a kid, though, didn't you want to go? like always? mr. hooper's store and all that. snuffleupagus. i know. the works. right. childhood dreams. oh, you can make it if you just stick with it. see? we're he

to grover cleveland to benjamin harrison in 188. but as we know, he came back again to the white house on a second try. and then al gore in 2000 to george w. bush and hillary clinton in 2016 to donald j. trump. so when people watching that from outside the united states see this disparity between the two, how do they react? guest: with questions. mostly. if they just don't outright shake their head and say, you guys do it wrong. so it's really tough to explain to folks that, yes, you can have, i mean, theoretically dozens more millions of votes than the other person and ultimately not have the power come january 20. so it is a system that takes some explanation and even when you get down to explaining exactly how it plays out, let alone the steps you just brought up on the screen of how many steps it takes to be sworn in, it really is a difficult system to explain to folks who just say, this is the one national representative we have, shouldn't it just be the one who gets the most votes? host: i looked to see whether or not there we

four years after losing the presidency, trump reclaimed it, a feat not seen since grover cleveland in 1892. >> there is something about him that speaks to america, and we have to understand that. >> republicans romped, taking the senate, holding the house, while critics howled about a conservative plan they thought might trash government as we know it. and yet there were so many people out there that felt like that very structure, that very system, those very institutions had failed them. >> and i think that's a big reason why donald trump won. >> while i concede this election, i do not concede the fight. >> democrats did the best thing they could, pledging themselves to a peaceful transfer of power even as the election crushed hopes the legal system might hold trump accountable. >> many of them still feel this way that donald trump, back in the white house, represents the end of democracy. >> the wildest promotion i'm proud to endorse and encourage you to get this bible. trump selling merch throughout the campaign and beyond. >> if you had told me 15 years ago that donald trump would

what he needs to add though, john, i helped him get reelected and become grover cleveland part two.or and calling it a felony is part of why he won the most popular vote in the electoral college. >> dana: right now prosecutors are telling judge merchan they agree with the unconditional discharge. they are going over a probation report. what, i've watched -- only thing i know about probation is what i've seen on television. how do you have a commander-in-chief on probation? >> you won't in this case because of the unconditional discharge. i think that's part of the complications here that are as trey just said, you know, once we got to january 20th, there was not going to be any criminal proceedings. a lot of that is because of the practical impossibility of administering to a criminal defendant who is the commander-in-chief and protecty of the secret service and has a million big responsibility. the two things don't mesh. you are hitting on a point that has been one of the most important points in this whole saga, which is that to the extent that presidential misconduct is a problem

overcriminalization in america and progressives may arrive at that conclusion for reasons different than grover norquist. the heritage foundation, the koch brothers, or many conservatives who we wound up partnering with. but if you want to get to the same place, even if it's for different reasons, you can embrace that journey. and ultimately it lead to a good result on behalf of the american people. and i've also found that intentional seeking out partnerships with people who you may disagree on a whole host issues but can find common ground on an issue or and have that be the foundation ocean of your working relationship you know in washington and across country when you can put progressives conservatives together or the left and the right center, left, center, right, democrat rights, republicans who don't normally agree on issue but come together to try to pass a piece of legislation. and i call a coalition of the unusual suspects and you put together that coalition of the unusual suspects. it captures the imagination of people in congress the american people and certainly well at the local l

hasn't happened since grover cleveland. we as a country have been given a chance. we don't have to guess what the next president is going to be like. number 47, because we know because we know when president trump was in office, we know that the world is peace. we know that our country was prosperous. we know that interest rates were down. we know all that. so this is the easiest choice ever for a voter because you can pick about what do you have now versus what you had before. and if what you have now is not better than what you had before, that should be the end of the whole discussion. so forget all the other distractions and everything that, you know, the cable news and everybody is trying to shout about this, that and the other thing and just ask people in their hearts and in their family for the kids, are they better off than they were before? and in the answer, if they're honest, is going to be no, they're not, unless they had a lot of student loans or something. but getting okay. but i'm saying, again, i want you to leave with that. but but when i when i le
