i'm not so sure, look, jerrod, i -- it's a mixed bag. i wouldn't conclude yet there will be no so-called reforms or ending loopholes in the tax story. some of them are still alive and so, therefore, i wouldn't put that down. s as you know there's a growth impact. i think you can get 3% growth. it's in mulvaney's budget. i know we disagree but i still think it will add $3 trillion or $4 trillion in revenues. >> you say i'm pessimistic about this. frankly i don't think we need a big tax cut at all. i'm not really pessimistic about its failure but in terms of the growth effects, larry, you and i have within having a robust argument. we're like an old, married couple. we've been having robust arguments for 25 years. and i think we still love each other. that should be noted. it's not -- i've never been able to convince you based on solid and empirical evidence that you're wrong but what matters is not what you think at this point it's cbo and the jct, the folks who will score this and they're not going to score a 3% growth rate. they're goin

touching the stone of that wall and equally moved from we saw your daughter of ponca and son-in-law jerrod do the same. you touch other stones. you honor the memory of six majors who were murdered in the holocaust. -- now you touch other stones. you honor today the memory of six million jews who were murdered in the holocaust. a few weeks ago you gave a powerful speech in the holocaust memorial day in washington, d.c. and today in this solemn place in yad vashem, great monuments of remembrance, we remember the holocaust. we remember the hatred towards jews that consumed a defenseless people. we pledge never to be defenseless against that hatred again. and to fulfill that pledge israel must always be able to defend itself, by itself, against any threat. i appreciate america's long-standing commitment to that principle, and, mr. president, i appreciate your commitment to that principle. your commitment to the security of the one and only jewish state, which is entrusted with securing the jewish future. you said, mr. president, just now, that we must confront evil in the world. we must confro

. >> jerrod, hold on. i want to push back on something you said. you said we do not have the labor force. i will say that the budget does assume that certain cuts will be made that will force some of the 95 million people not currently in the workforce that are of working age back into the workforce. don't you agree that's kind of the goal is to maybe slash disability, slash things that have suggested people have been pushed out of the workforce and get them back in and those extra people -- >> no. >> why not? >> you agree that is the concept? >> i don't know. first of all, the $95 million number refers to a group that includes people over and people who are in college. now if you're talking about work requirements in poverty programs, those have never been shown to have anything but the most marginal effects on labor supply. so you have to really look -- the cbo tells us that the decline in the labor force or the slower growth in the labor force accounts for 70% of the slowdown in growth are from about 3% to around 2%. now if you could do some rea

the report friday night that jerrod kushner was setting up his own potential back channel. >> so theurity secretary has no problem with that but as a country we need to be talking about that. >> the fbi may have another view. we also have the ongoing issues relating to general flynn, paul manafort and that bucket, but also, there is the substance. i think evan would understand that when you are trimming almost $1 trillion for medicare, 23 million people potentially being cut out of healthcare when food stamps are going to be eviscerated, when social security. >> so were talking about us substance problem. >> you are talking about some of the things found in the cbo score last week and what some are looking at and being critical of a bill that has to still go through the senate and back to the house. >> it's never going to get through the senate. >> i'm looking at what's been publicly reported. >> the messaging wars that is a complete disaster. they need to go on offense and say no, were doing it because of this and they need to show americans who've been hurt. >> so he's been out of

of a live feed right now of nbenjami netanyahu introducing president trump and his wife melania, jerrod ku jared kushner you've seen in these pictures. we are awaiting a joint address and that will be coming shortly. we'll bring you that update when it comes. fred, one issue that i wonder when it comes to peace talks, he does seem to have a close relationship with netanyahu and netanyahu has brought that up today. is that a plus or minus when it comes to getting the palestinians and israelis together? >> i would love to hear what eric says on this as well and i know he's walking a thin tightrope where he wants to be netanyahu's friend, but on the other hand he's giving mixed messages about what he expects in peace. eric is right he should be vague and not give details, but he will not be successful if he walks away from this trip and the two presidents have not agreed to meet with each other. so i think that's the crucial issue is he'll give a speech after the abbas meeting tomorrow and will he be able to say the two men have agreed to resume the process or agreed to meet. >> eric, your
