paul conway's still with me.ower the corporate tax rate, take a small cut in the top rate of income tax, claw back state and local tax deductibility. does that sound like a plan to you, paul conway, that would stimulate the economy? paul con? >> sounds -- stuart: go ahead, paul. >> it seems as though somebody has taken a look at this thing with strategy in mind and forethought and thought how do we get up 50 plus 1. you brought up senator manchin and, of obviously, the president was there just several weeks ago with the conversion of the democrat governor to republican, and there's a dynamic in that state for growth. and i think this is one of those things that senator manchin would take a look at and say, yeah, absolutely. the state and local tax exemption, what does it mean in terms of the strategic picture for me in the united states senate and the policies that i've pledged to deal with? it makes it easier for him, it makes it easier for the folks in missouri to come along. but i think what has been put forwa

conway. a lot of head scratching among the g.o.p. leadership. i spoke with paul ryan about this tonight. there has been a lot a backlash. >> i saw speakers >> grants coo you too. he agrees it was smart to act in a bipartisan fashion to clear the decks and lead our way. it's going to be a very busy fault legislative agenda. the crowning touch of that is tax reform, which speaker ryan will be very important helping to pass. you know, martha, the president also didn't want to give up military spending given everything that has happened with north korea and the middle east and elsewhere. his priority right now is to get at it as swiftly as possible for those who are suffering from hurricane harvey. >> martha: was he frustrated in that room? the story is that they were, at 18 months, and then six months, and then they sort of agreed, were going to agree to disagree, six months. he said, you know it, let's just do three. was he trying to send a signal to the republican leadership, as to think the president is a little bit annoyed with the leadership, and he said, probably, and he said, i am to

the attorney general, jeff sessions and former national security advisor and paul manafort and mike pence and kelly anne conway and, and, and, and. to the extent there is a coordinated or uncourt natordin effort to cover up the extent of connections and dealings between trump and russia, there have been a lot of people in the administration and campaign who have participated in that activity. the most important person in any coverup would be the president himself and today david corn writes about a piece of the president's effort to cover up his own connections with russia, a piece of that is now being proven to be plblatantly false d that story is next. ♪ so, i was at mom and dad's and found this. cd's, baseball cards... your old magic set? and this wrestling ticket... which you still owe me for. seriously? $25? i didn't even want to go. ahhh, your diary.

attorney general, jeff sessions and former national security advisor and paul manafort and mike pence jurd kushner and kellyanne conway and, and, and, and. to the extent there is a coordinated or uncoordinated effort by multiple people in the administration to cover up the extent of connections and dealings between trump and russia, there have been a lot of people in the administration and campaign who have participated in that activity. the most important person in any coverup would be the president himself and today david corn of mother jones magazine writes about a piece of the president's effort to cover up his own connections with russia, a piece of that is now being proven to be blatantly false and that story is next. for mom and dad. and every year, we split it equally. except for one of us. i write them a poem instead! and one for each of you too! that one's actually yours. that one. regardless, we're stuck with the bill. to many, words are the most valuable currency. last i checked, stores don't take "words." some do. not everyone can be the poetic voice of a generation. i know, right? such a burden. the bank

paul. and get everybody marching in step towards tax reform? kellyanne conway joins us in a moment on that. there is still the cultural battle that has gripped the nation, one that is playing out on the field of the nfl, but what is it rooted in and what does it reveal about where our country is today? the president doubled down. >> i think it's a very important thing for the nfl to not allow people to kneel during the playing of our national anthem to respect our country and to respect our flag. >> martha: fat as his critics cry racism. >> i don't know if trump is racist but i do know he definitely prefers white people to black people. >> if he is not recessed light of so many americans believe that he is? >> that is racism, you cannot tonight, you cannot run for it and i kneel in honor of them. >> martha: that's where we are, a big lineup for tonight, david bossi takes us inside some of the president's thought process perhaps on this. but first we are from richard fowler, national syndicated radio host and mollie hemingway, both are fox news contributor's, we

paul ryan said he got it right. democrats disagree. kellyanne conway any type of issue that requires additional presidential action. but he made very clear yesterday through his attorney general and through his own statement from the white house, bill, that the daca program is unconstitutional. >> the president's decision to end daca was heartless and it was brainless. if this order stands, hundreds of thousands of families will be ripped apart. >> president trump was right in his decision. he made the right call. i'm also encouraged by the fact that he gave us time to work out a consensus, to find a compromise because these kids don't for the most part don't know any other home than the united states. so i think the president was right to give us the time we need to find that compromise. >> julie: there you go. new reaction from capitol hill from both sides on the trump administration's decision to end that dreamer's program. kris wilson is a former cruz campaign pollster. bab low manriquez is co-founder of case street media. thank you for talking to

paul is allowing the perfect to be enemy of the good. we're all going to have different opinions on what perfect is the opinion that kellyanne conway was conveyinghink all of us would love to see a different mix of things in the bill, that's not what we have. we have a vehicle that i believe will improve the health care system. that i believe republicans can pass, and i think that's what they should do. >> anything can happen. it looks unlikely right now that the bill is going to move forward because of the math. but president trump is not giving up. he tweeted this morning, he thinks rand paul might come around to voting yes. do you think that's possible? >> you know, anything is possible. honestly, it's very unlikely at this point that you said that this thing gets passed because of the math. we now that murkowsky and collins have been opposed to previous iterations of the bill. rand paul is on record saying he doesn't want to. i don't see how this happens, to be honest with you. but we didn't think we would be talking about obamacare repeal again after all the stuff that happened in june. yet, here we are. lonnie chen, thank you as always. ma

paul butler is also back with you. so max, let's look at a tweet from dan diamond. here is the 30-seat charter jet that tom price and kellyanne conwayook for their $25,000 d.c. to philly roundtrip. i think a ticket could cost like $200. that's what they took. what happened to tom price? >> well, obviously will to that price was living the good life and flying a claert plane from d.c. to philadelphia. he could have taken amtrak. this is incredible on so many levels. some some ways it is the oldest story in washington. the come to washington, drain the swamp and find that you lying living in the swamp. the water is nice. come on in. this is a classic example. >> and the san diego tribune wrote in june, it was titled the nation's top health official vows, attack wasteful spending. he said that he's committed to ringing out wasteful spending regardless of what happens by donald trump and the gop-led congress to reshame obamacare. perennials talk about wringing the waste out of medicaid and medicare. is it something about the intoxication of washington, being around wealthy donors and wealthy lobbyists that is so enticing, or is it strai

paul ryan said this is an opportunity for the country to come together. the president felt this was a chance, you know, to show some bipartisan, lead by example from capitol hill. jackie: kellyanne conway saying, listen, is he not a politician. is he a businessman. she had a quote or she had a thought about that. listen. >> the president is a sceflt businessman who is not a politician. people should keep reminding themselves of that when something like yesterday happens. he believes in negotiating. he believes in getting a good deal for the american people. he is not the head of the republican party. is he not making a deal with the democrats. is he getting good deal for the american people. his first goal was to get that hurricane aid and assistance to those in need. he also wanted to make sure that he has leverage on military spending. >> he made it clear from his campaign that he doesn't care if you are republican or democrat it's all about the american people and what's best for them. heather: the art of the deal. jackie: yes, exactly. a fox news alert four. at least five people are dead. biggest earthquake in a century rocks mexico. >> the debris falling to the ground and build bu
