you look at some of like joe manchin, with whom i served as governor. not a left-wing progressive or whatever the socialist party wants to call itself these days. senator sanders called it what he thought it was, socialist. joe manchin does not things like that. he is from a fairly conservative state. once heavily democratic but no more. he is a moderate, middle-of-the-road, somebody that wants to get something done. i don't know the other two but they certainly represent states, indiana and north dakota, that are not left-wing states. they are not like washington, d.c. for that matter. david: give us a dose of realism. the chairman of the house ways and means committee says he intensity this without interference from lobbyists. you are a longtime lobbyist yourself. aren't lobbyist able to make their voices known in the process? how problematic if they do not have as easy access to other pieces of legislation? haley: lobbyists are only as good as the accurate information that they deliver that members can trust that what they are being told is accurate.

heidi heitkamp of north dakota and joe manchin that might be inclined to support the bill. i'm not sure, rick, that they have the votes right now to get it through. they still have some time. by the way, i want to point out to you -- this is about to break. we have the exclusive on this. the white house is adding five names to the list of potential nominees for the next supreme court vacancy. it's widely believed that justice anthony kennedy will announce his retirement at some point, maybe after thanksgiving. we don't know. the white house has added to its list amy barrett, britt grant, she sits on the georgia supreme court, britt cavanaugh, a bush appoint appointee, kevin newsom, and patrick wyrick. he's a new appointee to oklahoma's supreme court. so that gives a list of 25 nominees to choose from. the federalists society is meeting in washington this week. don mcgann is about to give a speech regarding this organization. amy barrett has large support from catholics, even though that was a point of contention. >> john, in the minute or so we have left, back to the tax is

people like joe manchin, joe donnelly, folks saying that maybe we can take a look at this.put obamacare in with tax cuts. but the true question here is, what is donald trump saying to them? none of us believe that he's in the intricacies of politics -- >> he's saying get it done. >> the pep rally. a pep rally doesn't bridge the gap between the senate and the house version. he's saying you do it. he said yeah, our jobs are on the line. >> he's a deal maker. so -- >> he doesn't -- >> he doesn't know the details. >> he believes in the corporate tax cut. there's no way he's not a big proponent of that. >> he absolutely knows the deal. he needs to use the policy to his benefit. he knows the tax code in and out -- >> i want to see his taxes. >> what is he saying to the senate about the one-year delay -- >> it's bad. it's a bad move. >> one at a time. >> you cannot run in a mid-term election on corporate tax cuts alone. >> it will not work. >> amen. >> you pass it now, you have already at 3, 3.5% gdp growth. >> i'm agreeing with you. makes me sad. >> in the meantime, as we watch t

this was a meeting that was organized by senator joe manchin and the white house legislative affairs director by insured. we are told the meeting lasted about 15 mins. the president phoning information. one democratic senator told the president "if you want to do this in a bipartisan manner, you will get to 50 votes." aside from that, we learned the g.o.p. suffered a keyed defection on tax form. congressman darrell i said announced he cannot support the hospital because of the provision, a cap on local and state tax deductions. democrats are salivating at the prospect of more g.o.p. defections. >> if you don't get this done, you might as well give up the majority because you ain't coming back in the majority. >> that's a taste of the acrimony at the ways and means committee markup. lasted eight hours on monday, the same expected today and tomorrow before it is reported out of committee thursday. that salt provision raising the ire of democrats in high-tech states. >> early this year, treasury secretary steven mnuchin suggested that we need to repeal salt to stop subsidizing states. m

some are suggesting he can make it difficult for centrist democrats, such as joe manchin, to get onboardcans republicans and the administration on issues like health care and tax reform. senator manchin did organize that meeting earlier this week with senior administration officials, including gary cohn, a self-described democrat, to discuss tax reform. republicans on the flipside say virginians had that blue ways because they were not going conservative enough. politics,ything in folks on both sides of the ioc and what they want with the results. vonnie: we will be back with you many times throughout the day, and sure. kevin cirilli, chief washington correspondent. i want to break some news now -- there is a headline out of capitol hill as well from senator john cornyn, and i am just going to figure out exactly what that is. the senate may take up the tax bill the week after thanksgiving. so, we know the senate was set to release its tax blueprint today. we will see if that happens, but now senator john cornyn sang the senate may take up its tax bill the week after thanksgiving. we are

people like senator joe manchin, senator heidi heitkamp, folks you had been at the negotiating tablethe white house, now have the political rally at best political reality where in their states, west virginia, for example, the of what work actively popular, and heading into 2018 elections, health care with the tax package is not necessarily going to get democrats on board. however, it is popular with republicans. julie: one of those partisan issues, what a surprise, as we talk about this. rule meansed byrd that the tax plan would have to be deficit neutral 10 years out. amidst the changes we heard about yesterday and played today, how much closer arsenate republicans towards meeting that goal? kevin: i think the house and senate have moved closer in terms of how they are going to do conference. it has been like a preconference, so to speak. the vocus is still scheduled in the house of representatives for tomorrow. -- the vote is still scheduled and house of representatives for tomorrow. that puts more emphasis on with the senate is headed. itshouse has been aligning version of the bi

i mean, it's going to be hard for a senator like joe manchin or heidi heitkamp or joe donnelly to --ppose it, your point is they'll pay a price. >> absolutely, they're going to pay a price. connell: all right. >> well -- [laughter] i beg to differ on that. i beg to dir on that wholeheartedly, and i'll tell you why they're going to be able to go home to their constituents, it's because this tax bill repeals the student loan deduction. they're going to oppose it because the tax repeals the credit that teachers get for buying school supplies for their classroom. they can oppose it because the tax bill will basically allow for -- it repeals the estate tax while also repealing the tax for new home buyers -- connell: some of the opposition, i think, will depend on which state -- >> exactly, absolutely. , absolutely, but here's a larger problem that we have here. the reason this tax bill doesn't need a democratic vote, it needs republicans to come together, and this president for the past 11 months has not been able to bring his party together, and that is the problem -- exactly. connell: i

joe manchin is what used to be a blue dog democrat in this town.ry likely vote on most things before he switched parties. >> durbin breaks with trump. >> what do the rest of us have to say? >> wouldn't it be news if you break with trump? >> we're never trumpered together. i think trump has decided, you might as well be for him, he's got his own problems on the similar front as the ones that roy moore has, i wouldn't be surprise if they get tax reform through. what is it, thursday they're going to vote? i suspect they will get it through the senate. i think that trump will go down to alabama and campaign for moore, and say, this vote was whatever it is. you can't afford to have a democrat like doug jones, i think trump has decided he's all in, he might as well try and pull it out. >> but this is the kind of thing that's the cancer of our country right now. when donald trump says that doug jones is weak on crime, we're talking about the individual who prosecuted the people who bombed the baptist clutch. running against somebody who is, again, i use t

senator joe manchin meeting with mark short of the white house.publicans are saying they want to get democrats. what you make of that argument? sen. warner: as somebody who spent a career in business, longer than i have in politics, i feel like there is a bit of a scam going on here. of have got a whole premise let's add literally trillions of dollars to the debt. at this point, as somebody who is very concerned about our aggregate debt, that is over $20 trillion, i worry that they are of tricks with baselines, to make the corporate tax permanent, the personal help to middle-class leaks in five years. that is not the right way to do that. alan greenspan, who i have a lot of respect for, today pointed out when you are close to full employment, doing a tax cut with borrowed money is really not verypolicy, so i have been disappointed. kevin: on the issue of lowering the corporate tax rate, several democrats in the past, senators, have suggested that is something they could get on board with. according to the framework released by the senate republica

joe manchin another more conservative democrat from west virginia, somebody you would think might have a chance to pick off on a bill like this. it's not going to happen. i think my friend actually that was a slur, they pass better tax bills. i covered banana republics, they have better tax policies than this. >> here's what the president said about the half of the country, 49.4% of the country that opposes the tax plan t. only people that don't like it are those who don't understand it or the obstructionist, democrats that know how good it is and do not want to credit and success to go to the republicans. daniel dale, that's guy who has 28. % support for his idea. >> yeah, well saying he is insulting many of his own voters. many of them don't like it, either. i do a lot of fact checking. they say do facts still matter? you sa you the polling of their repeal and replace, on policy matters, facts are getting through. no matter how much trump calls a tax bill wonderful, the best ever? it will put money in your pocket. people just aren't buying it. they're seeing through his nonsense and

senator joe manchin's seat will benefit our truth campaign. there's another election he might look to for inspiration, the december 12th alabama race where roy moore could win a senate seat despite allegations of molesting a 14-year-old girl. the latest on that race next. >>> do you believe roy moore? >> i believe that the democrats will do great damage to our country. >> so you still believe roy moore? >> two weeks ago republicans were literally running away from reporters asking questions about the allegations of child molestation, sexual misconduct and sexual assault against roy moore. the man seen here running away from cameras in a capital stairwell, with less than two weeks to election do, mo brooks is coming home. >> there are only two that have asserted that roy moore engaged in unlawful conduct. one of those is clearly a liar because that one forged the love roy moore part in a yearbook in order to try to, for whatever reason, get at roy moore and win this seat for the democrats. so now you're down to one witness who says that roy moo

do you think joe manchin is really one of those? he is listed as may be. because i hate to say yes, that there possibility because in the end, i think the democrats so frequently disappoint, they don't come around to what they know is right. i think if we got 51 or we got all 52, then we might see some democrats climb on board. >> melissa: interesting. >> is going to be very difficult for a democrat to be the vote to pass that. i think in his or her own party, that would be a really difficult position to be in. >> melissa: one of the big hanging point that everybody's talking about is a state and local tax deduction, but i don't see a lot of intended for republicans to give on that because it doesn't seem like it would help them get any votes. >> at least not in the senate. i'm not sure there are any senators from sort of high tax states. there are a bunch of the house and the california delegation mostly came around. republican delegation even though they have a lot of state and local taxes. so again, i think these things could be done and you don't see p

joe manchin says he doesn't want a bill that adds to the deficit and what they are working on will certainlyt when we thought the health-care debate had quieted down, it is rearing its head again, this time in the attempt -- this time in the tax bill, potentially. cruz is calling for a repeal of the aca mandate. what are the chances of that happening? sah: thisi has beenl brewing for a while. i spoke to several house republicans in the last hour or so and it looks like it is increasingly likely that this mandate repeal will not be in the bill. taxers fear mixing they debate and the health-care care debate will complicate this effort. health care reform died in the senate because you had several not willing were to vote for a bill that repealed of the individual mandate. house freedom caucus chairman mark meadows told me that he does not expect the individual mandate to be repealed in the tax bill. that is not a red line they put out there. bloomberg's sigh neil kapoor. -- sahil kapoor. brookfield asset management is said to have held preliminary discussions with gdp about acquiring a stake i

. >> do you have any indications how your democratic counter part feels, joe manchin? >> you know what? the way i look at this in west virginia, it's a win for working families. 83% of our people that file don't even use the itemized deductions. so this is doubling that standard deduction. this is a no-brainer for west virginia. i hope he joins me. >> neil: do you feel in order to expedite things, assuming it's passed, could be a leap, but that the house then would vote up or down on your plan or would you do this reconciling back and forth? >> you know, that was raised at lunch today. i think there's a strong feeling we'll go to conference. we have some major differences, the individual mandate being one. these needs to be worked out. that's the way you get the compromise and that's what you'll see happen. we won't skip a conference, i don't believe. >> neil: thank you. we'll watch closely. appreciate it. >> thanks. >> neil: the president mentioned that the senate did surprise a lot of folks, that we're getting good economic news prior to this already happening, prior

and he was asked directly in a june hearing by joe manchin of the senate intelligence committee, whether or not carter page himself had met with any russian officials during the campaign season. and at that time jeff sessions said, i don't know. so he was informed of this meeting by carter paige, now, paige told me that he mentioned this in passing. it happened at a dinner with the capitol hill club near the capitol, the trump national security team. and mike conley, the top republican said he didn't see anything nefarious in jeff sessions actions here. it's understandable why he may not remember it, but still a lot of questions today about why jeff sessions has not disclosed this and other contexts with russian officials. on -- given questions that persisted. >> well, it comes on the heels of the questions regardng sessions meeting with george papadopoulos of course. >> that's right. jeff sessions was at that meetsing. we're told by a person in the room that sessions rejected that meeting. from actually taking place. the question is. from democrats and republicans i spoke to today. why

joe manchin, the centrist them a craft lock in a tough 2008 midterm reelection fight, he is one of the meeting. the divide amongst republicans in the senate, as well as the house, is forcing the white house to try to look for different avenues to get both. if they are able to convince someone like heidi heitkamp or joe manchin that this will be good for them in states where president trump does have strong support, you could see some more pressure on them, which will be interesting to watch. kevin, thanks for reporting with us throughout the program. still with us in new york, tony dwyer. as you described yourself, you ull.a permab the potential in washington, does that make you more of one question mark is it irrelevant? tony: the only thing that is left is the corporate tax rate. did a study for us that found that operating would be up 10.5% if you get a 20% corporate tax rate next year , by company. it was a terrific study that's real. that's the only thing that trump has said is an absolute, he won't change the 20%. i think that the president's comment means that's what i'm focused

joe manchin, west v virginia, good guy but i hope he loses. i had an interesting conversation with hillary clinton on my radio show. 45 minutes long conversation and she worries that we are in a postcharacter age. a lot of people argued that her character was not as good as donald trump's and that this gave us a bad choice in the character department in november of 2016. i don't know that that was the case. i think the people could have found pluses and minuses on both candidates' sides. when it comes down to roy moore i don't think it's in doubt and i know a lot of alabama don't say that but i think it's close. >> you did interview hillary clinton today and we wanted to play a sound bite from that interview, talking about the president's appeal to white supremacists. take a listen. >> i think there has proven to be more white supremacists and white nationalists than i wished there were in our country, as we saw tragically in charlottesville and other places. and they have made common cause with the president's agenda out of their own mouths t

senators in red states that donald trump did very well in, like the heidi heitkamps of the world, the joe manchins talk to republicans, we talked to you, and we listen to you. i do think they continue to message on the facts, obviously, but i like the idea of democrats coming forward and say, let's work this out together, because we are on record saying that we would compromise. >> even though you are not really interested... >> i'm honest. it's friday. >> dana: jessica tarlov... thank you so much. a heartwarming story about a newborn baby left in a safe haven box. >> last night here in the fire department, life was saved. >> dana: how a volunteer fire chief is giving this little baby a new chance at life. morning on the beach was so peaceful. until... it... wasn't. don't let type 2 diabetes get between you and your heart. because your risk of heart attack or stroke is up to four times greater. but there are steps you can take to lower your cardiovascular risk. talk to your health care provider today about diabetic heart disease. and find out more at heartoftype2.com. your heart and type 2 diabete

. >> the president traveled to the states of joe manchin, claire mccaskill, took them on the plane withtook them to rallies. they had every chance to say, i heard the voters in my state. >> whoa. mitch mcconnell? >> these people have to answer to voters in their state. where's claire mccaskill? not answering -- >> i don't know. how did this not happen? >> i think a few democrats -- felt it's easier to unite against something like this. it was not clear exactly where it was going. through health care in there. and it wasn't able, weren't able to pull off getting any democrats obviously. this does, though, feel like a gamble that voters really just want to see something get done. when they announced the president's going to do the date, state of the union in january. imagine if he stood up and had nothing? all he could say, we got gorsuch. he needs this. the republican party needs this and you feel it is rushed through. i don't think anybody can dispute that. >> the deficit numbers came out with dynamic scores, brad, put it at $1 trillion deficit, ten years added to the deficit. is there

bills that the senate has not taken up, including many bills would be a very difficult vote for joe manchin claire mccaskill and jon tester and heidi heitkamp and all of these red state democrats that we need to take down in 2018. mitch mcconnell has refused to do it and i will tell you, i'm to the point that i think mitch mcconnell, to really bring unity to the republican party and get things done, i think mitch mcconnell ought to tender his resignation. what he ought to do is offer to resign as soon as taxes are done. we can't do it in the middle of taxes. but i think mitch mcconnell tomorrow should tender his resignation and say after we get taxes done i will step aside and we will have a revote on majority leader. i have to tell you, there needs to be a sense of urgency in the senate. over the last about week -- they've now are going to work six days a week, talking about canceling thanksgiving. they passed the budget, they are starting to move on federal charges, but that's all because quite frankly we put the spotlight on mitch mcconnell and said that this guy is just not supporting t

love joe manchin, lindsey graham, great people. marco rubio. you get to know them personally, you just pull more them to have success. and what i'm trying to do is tell you a story in a quick-moving way with a little bit of a sports tilt, because in my mind you've got a million things to do. i'm giving up a lot of the smells in the air and the color of the leaves to get to the point, and that's what we're -- i think it's equal success, but i also want to be accurate. i don't want people to go, oh, yeah, that book, good, not true. i want you to say, yeah, it's true, and if you want to go more in depth, man, there's a lot of other stuff out there. but are we okay? thank you very much. i appreciate it. i'll sign your books outside. actually, i'll sign them here. [applause] >> brian, thank you very much. would you like the president to tweet out support of the book? >> that would be interesting. >> that'd be cool. >> yeah. >> well, i know many of you are going to want a copy of the book, and if you didn't get one on the way in, right outside we hav

i am looking at democratic senator joe manchin from west virginia. >> i have a lot of rural counties in my state where donald trump won 80% of the vote. i am pleased to have the chance to go back there and tell them why i didn't vote for a tax bill that gave massive tax breaks to the wealthiest people in america and financed it by borrowing the money from the children of people living in those districts who will have no benefit of the taxes that they paid. people that voted for donald trump thought he was going to help what donald trump called the forgotten person, not that he was go to bestow, you know, these gifts on the very wealthiest people in america. but that's what this bill does. >> senator, the democrats did not show up to a meeting with the president yesterday. chuck and nancy didn't show up to that after-lunch meeting. the white house made a show of it. they left the chairs empty. do you think that that's the right thing to do for -- no matter how you feel about the president, to not show up to try and negotiate a deal that would keep the government open? >> well, i think

recognize that there has been considerable progress on terrorist financing, as used in secretary joe manchin'so the region last week, he opened the terrorist financing target center. you heard a lot of leaders across the world and the president foremost among them discrediting this ideology. last week, i think it is worth reading, saudi crown prince speech in which he called for a return to moderate islam. the president will discuss how to strengthen partnerships across the endo pacific to further efforts against transnational terrorist organizations. this trip is an opportunity to build momentum towards a shared prosperity and security and i am happy to take your questions, thank you. >> reporter: as you look at the tools in your toolkit for confronting north korea, how much thought is given to putting that country back on the american list of state sponsor terrorism? >> that is an option that is under consideration. the president's cabinet is looking at this as part of the overall strategy on north korea. a regime who murders is someone in a public airport using nerve agents and a leader who

here's west virginia senator joe manchin. >> i would hope that your ceos, and i agree with senator kingr ceos would be here they need to answer for this will it can't be a business model. it's got to be a security issue. >> reporter: facebook, twitter and google all detailing the effort they are taking to combat foreign and especially russian influence on their platform, though acknowledging they had only done so in response to research and prodding from this very committee facebook's general counsel in his answers today, he upped the estimate to 150,000 for the number of people who were exposed to russian content during the election, and senator mark warner, who you'll be talking to as well, asked these companies to commit their resources after getting them to acknowledge that this activity was still happening on their platform. >> will you commit to continue to work with this committee, to provide additional information and additional documents as needed, as we continue to explore this challenge and threat on a going forward basis? we'll go right down the line. >> mr. stretch >> yes.

democrats who are up in trump country in the senate are saying, i think they are winnable someone like joe manchin of west virginia could easily end up voting for this tax package as long as they don't needlessly complicate it or politicize it >> i'm curious about the volatility, particularly the markets don't want washington to do much, right we get tax cuts, and then you have a situation where they're not going to do much and maybe they're not going to add any regulations. to me, that would be positive to the pro market what volatility is the market not seeing that you're talking about? >> there's two pieces to volatility people underappreciate how the chances that we could end up in conflict with north korea, which i think would have obviously massive consequences that is one piece of the puzzle. the other is that when you have this much volatility, it offense results in change in congress, which then, yes, could lead to there's nothing being done, which the markets would be fine with, but it also, you have a change in the house, you increase the chance for impeachment proceedings which obvious

joe manchin of west virginia was someone who the white house and republicans courted very aggressivelybut yesterday, two days ago i spoke to him. he said the 20% corporate tax rate was kind of a nonstarter for him. as you know full well, that's been the only part of this bill that the president has been unwilling to touch. so if this bill is too far to the right for probably the most conservative democrat in the senate for manchin. there's a low chance it gets any democratic votes in the senate. in the house, it could be possible. but i think it's unlikely at this point. i think we're going to see both parties very much in their camps on this bill. >> all right. get procedural and technical for me for a minute. we've been going over both plans. not just the senate. because they're going to get combined if the senate bill passes. how does that process work? >> reporter: sure. i think it's important that we think of this as sort of a three-act play. this isn't over when the senate passing their version. there are two options going forward after that happens. the house could pass the sena

i love joe manchin, lindsey graham. marco rubio. you get to learn them personally, you pull for them and have success. what i'm trying to do tell you a story in a quick-moving way because in my mind you have a million things to do, you don't -- i'm giving up a lot of the smells in the air and the color of the leaves to get to the point and that's what where it is equal success but i also want to be accurate. i don't want part-time to go, oh, yeah, the book, good not true. i want you to say, yeah, it's true and if you wanting to more in-depth, man, there's a lot of other stuff out there, are we okay? thank you very much, i appreciate it. i will sign your book outside. actually, i will sign it here. [applause] >> brian, thank you very much, would you like the president oh to tweet out a support of the book? >> that'll be interesting. >> i know many of you didn't bring a copy, right outside we have the table set up. brian is going to stay here and always so great about signing books. he will be standing here. if you have a book comen u

our colleague caught up with senator joe manchin, told him he might vote for this. interesting to me. what's your take about what that means here? >> reporter: manchin was the leader of a group of moderates, democrats, who came out said we want to be part of the process. we want republicans to work with us, to slow down and get some democratic ideas involved in this bill and wouldn't come out then and he and several other moderate democrats have refused to entirely close the door on this, but i just don't know, kasie. he also said in that press conference he couldn't vote for a bill with a 20% corporate tax rate. that's been the one part of this tax debate that the president has said is untouchable. it's hard for me to see how he would square that circle. you're seeing moderate democrats trying to leave open the door to maybe get some priorities involved in this. at least to the last minute. >> manchin in a tough position considering the state of his electorate in west virginia. if he were to vote yes, give cover to republicans and make the bill bipartisan. thanks,

he was asked directly in a june hearing by senator joe manchin of the senate intelligence committee whether or not carter page himself had met with any russian officials during the campaign season, and at that time jeff sessions said, i don't know. so he was informed of this meeting by carter page. now page told me that he mentioned this in passing. it happened at a dinner with the capitol hill club near the capitol with members of the national security team -- the trump national security team. and mike conway, the top republican who's investigating the russia issue, said he didn't see anything nefarious in jeff sessions' actions here. he says it's understandable why he may not remember it. but still a lot of questions today, anderson, about why jeff sessions had not disclosed this and other contacts with russian officials given questions that persisted. >> it comes on the heels of the questions regarding sessions meetings with george papadopoulos, of course. >> reporter: yeah, that's right. and as jim mentioned, jeff sessions was at the meeting when papadopoulos floated the idea of a putin

why are they notteck focusing on joe manchin. democrats who live in red states, democrats whose voters ostensibly want the trump agenda pushed through, why not find a way to make it more moderate and get moderate democrats. >> trump tweeted how much democrats don't want this. >> it seems counter-productive. >> when you look at tax legislation in america that is big it always takes bipartisan work. >> as it should. >> as it should. >> america is not just one party or the other. taxes affect everybody, same with health care. as we have been saying, the president is going to be speaking at any minute. we expect him as jeff bennett said to focus on north korea. again, this is president trump, who knows what he might answer questions about. he was on the hill this afternoon speaking to republicans about tax reform. he was supposed to beity meeting right about now with democratic leadership alongside republican leadership to negotiate a plan to keep the government open before the december 8th deadline. but he couldn't help, as ali was

joe manchin shown to be independent person.mccaskill is more susceptible to being punished but being punished by people of missouri where president trump did pretty well. i would love to see the president do. he is finding the third way sometimes. i would love for him to put pressure on mr. jones, man running in senate for alabama, make that race about the tax cut bill. okay, mr. jones, you want to be a democrat representing alabama, you think you might make this out of default because of what is happening with your republican opponent, mr. moore? then how about tell us right now how are you going to vote for people alabama on tax cut bill. are you with chuck schumer or with the people of alabama? stuart: stay right there. larry. please. we have with us now, nan hayworth, former new york congressman. whoa. explain why i'm saying whoa. if you were a, if you're a republican, and you represent any constituency in a high of it taxed state, new york, new jersey, i've gone through the list, many times. you are in trouble, people in y
