james davis, with the political arm of the koch network. the public so sour on the tax law? you're getting more money back from the government, what is so bad about that? >> the biggest point in the polling you see so far, if you look down a little farther in the polling many people say they know very little about the tax bill right now and how it will impact their lives. david: right. >> that is the opportunity at hand. since we finalized, washington finalized legislation here on this, a lot of details have been moving around a bit. now is the opportunity. that is what we see, the opportunity to talk to the american people about what this means for them. reality a pay raise for the american people. david: we just had on zane tankel, a businessman here in new york, who has 40 applebee restaurants around the city. we had steve forbes on. they gave a pretty fair assessment what is in the tax plan. steve, some things about it he likes. some things he doesn't. here is what nancy pelosi, here is how nancy pelosi describes it. this is the kind of

. >>> a lot to talk about, especially related to this tweet and let's break it all down with james davis. james is the dean of the school of economics and political science at the university of st. gallon joining us now live. good to have you with us at this hour, james. >> good morning, george. >> let's talk about this tweet at face value. it raises more questions about what the president knew and when he knew it. looking at that tweet, what is your take on it? >> i mean, it is clear that this administration and the white house is in disarray. the president has been trying to distract our attention through a variety of measures, he's tried to focus this as a question of whether there was collusion, but it is clear that the issue that we need to be focussed on is whether or not there was obstruction of justice. and given that there are allegations of obstruction of justice, it is very surprising that the white house would come out with this tweet that suggests that the president knew that general flynn lied to the fbi before he asked director comey to go easy on him. >> the white house h

james davis, thank you so much for joining us with your perspective and analysis. we appreciate it. >> thank you, rosemary. >>> and you may remember the "access hollywood" tape then presidential candidate donald trump used lewd language in that videotape which surfaced just weeks before the election. >> i'm automatically attracted to beautiful -- i just start kissing them. it's automatic. just kiss. and when you're a star, they let you do it. you can do anything. >> well, now former "access hollywood" host billy bush is breaking his silence after reports that president trump doubts the authenticity of that tape. bush has written a "new york times" op-ed that says in part president trump is currently indulging in some revisionist history reportedly telling allies, including at least one united states senator that the voice on the tape is not his. this has hit a raw nerve in me. i can only imagine how it has reopened the wounds of the women who came forward with their stories about him and did not receive enough attention. billy bush there. of course he was on that t

. >> reporter: james davis represents freedom partners, a conservative group whose board is made up almost entirely of employees of the billionaire koch brothers. it sounds like you're conditioned this trigger could actual -- concerned this trigger could actually backfire. >> yeah, i do. i think it weakens the overall tax bill. so we're hopeful that the senate moves forward without it. >> reporter: the senate is expected to take up a final vote on the tax reform bill later this week. the house revised its schedule for next week with house speaker paul ryan advising members to come back a day early so they can take a vote to move the tax bill forward. that's a strong indication that they are confident their colleagues in the senate will pass it by then. live on capitol hill, weigia jiang, kpix5. trated. the histor >>> coming up he's not even on a team and he's still winning awards from sports illustrated, the historic honor picked up today by colin kaepernick. >> also how nancy pelosi was called out after flip-flopping her stance on embattled congressman john conyers. >> and we're live in s

we're bringing in now james davis. james is the dean of the school of economicics and political science at the university in st. gallon university. it's good to have you on the show at this hour. let's talk about the location, first of all. mr. the trump giving this endorsement of roy moore wout without roy moore at his side and not in the state of alabama, but close must have. your thoughts on his strategy here? >> this is obviously to get two for the price of one. he doesn't want to campaign in alabama and he's doing that by way of the media. it's an attempt to rally his base in florida, which is, of course, the an important state for his re-election prospects in a few years. .this is a calculated political move. but i think it does suggest that the republicans are nervous about alabama. i think if they were sure that moore was ahead in the polls, they wouldn't be putting the president out on this limb. so it suggests to me that they're trying to mobilize the base, get people out to the vote. this may, in fact, come d

. >> joining me now is dorothy brown of the emory university school of law and james davis, executivee president of marketing at -- partner. thank you both for being with us. dorothy, start with you because you are a tax policy expert, of course. do you see the middle class getting a good benefit from this? >> absolutely not. this tax plan was designed around texas cuts for corporations. 14 percentage points. for individuals, about 2% and the individual tax cuts goes away after eight years. the corporate tax cuts are permanent. this is designed to put money in the pockets of shareholders which tend to be very high income. >> so, james, she brings up a good point about the temporary tax cuts for individuals. do you think that there is a sense that people think, all right, this will be good for us in the short term and maybe they will change it long term? >> first of all, this is great for americans across the board, because what we have seen through history is both when republican presidents and democratic presidents have passed bold tax relief we see more revenue come into the federal
