on the phone, we have with us jared hill. he is the first person who flagged the similarities, between melania trump and michelle obama's speeches. his tweets then went viral, and jared, you have now found yourself in the middle of this controversy, as well. you have paul manafort saying that operatives involved with the clinton campaign are responsible for this. so tell me how you figured out these speeches were so similar, word for word. >> well, tamron, thank you for having me. i realized pretty quickly that something was afoot, because kind of like when you're watching a movie where you know the lines, i repeated -- i said the end of the line to the screen as she was saying it when she talked about the height of your achievement is the extent of your dreams. and i said to the screen, and your willingness to work for it. and i thought, wait, that's kind of strange. whoa, that's really strange. and then i immediately googled michelle's speech from 2008, and realized that it was that line, and then eventually realized it was

it's unthinkable to people who know the chris christie, jared kushner world.there's been an alignment behind the scenes. it would be an incredible story. but chris christie putting jared kushner's father in jail ten years ago, humiliating him. it wasn't just prosecuting him, it involved prostitutes, crossing state lines, he prosecuted him under a hundred-year-old statute. there's a history there, it's hard for me to see how that would happen. >> if it's pence or gingrich or somebody else who we're not talking about, is there a vice presidential pick in the world who could radically change the trajectory of donald trump's national election prospects? >> here's what i always think when that question comes up, in any scenario like this. 9888, lloyd benson, dan quayle. the ultimate line in any political debate in history was loit benson saying to dan quayle, senator, you're no jack kennedy. it's the all-time best comment in a political contest. did lloyd benson help dukakis at all? there's zero evidence he did anything. he lost in a landslide. >> it will be fun to

jared, start with you.u are okay with the gas tax but not so thrilled with the 1% decline in sales tax. >> i'm certainly not thrilled with the impact that that has on state revenue. it is actually a big net loser for the state when you factor them both in together. but there is no question that the state problem in terms of funding their transportation trust fund is perfectly analogous to the federal one. we haven't raised our federal gas tax in well over 20 years. guess what? roads and bridges don't fix themselves. here's something i'll bet many viewers don't know. i follow infrastructure and i didn't know this until i read something pretty recently. 90% of our non-defense public infrastructure is owned by states and localities, and they fund 75% of its maintenance. it's critically important to keep that trust fund healthy. however, what this tax cut does is on net really seriously drains the coffers of new jersey. it also ends up being pretty regressive at the end of the y day. >> grover, i have to admit
