phil ruker is also with us. and joining us at the table, the rev al sharpton, host of "politics nation" on msnbc and msnbc's joy reid, and evan mcmullin, former cia operative, former chief policy director for the house of representatives and a previous candidate for president as an independent is here. phil rucker, let me start with you and that story in "the washington post" which was my favorite of the three that i mentioned at the top of the show. detailing that the staff woke up today or i guess after the tax bill and said, houston, we have a problem. this tax bill is not going to erase all of the perceived sins of donald trump and trumpism ahead of the midterm elections. and my question for you phil rucker is, was the president aware of how dire midterms are for any president's party? or did this sort of come to him as a revelation? >> i think it's come to him very slowly but it's come to him. his popularity has been in the tank really since he took office. he's been an historically unpopular president thro

claire: phil, it's a little early, isn't it? phil: go back to sleep.u awake for this. it's christmas eve. are you gonna spend all day on that thing? i made a promise. last christmas, phil got an elliptical machine and vowed to walk the equivalent of our house to canada in one year. this body doesn't just happen, ladies. if he didn't make it, no machine in the bedroom. except for this machine in the bedroom, ladies. who are these ladies? oh, phil, give it up. oh, you would love that, wouldn't you? just when i'm so close to the canadian border, i can smell the bacon and the reasonably priced medications. mom, this came for you from nana. i don't know why she bothers to wrap it every year. it's always the same thing -- slippers. you never know. she might surprise you this year. would you care to take a visit to the museum of maternal indifference? - [ thud ] - alex: watch it! oh, careful! you guys are really moving her downstairs right now?

phil, i think you were there. on the floor, we got it done in two days. that's when harry reid shut everything down. we got it done in two days and handled 63 amendments. we can do this. we are going to try to work together in early spring. january, february. we hope to have a blueprint together that both democrats and republicans can agree ith. we have to get something done on behalf of the farmer and rancher and their lenders who say look, we have to have dependability, we have to have predict ability. >> are you confident you will have that new farm bill passed by this time next year? senator roberts: oh, my gosh, yes. you remember what happened last time. we passed it in good faith and we hit a brick wall in the house. there was concern about food stamps and dairy policy and work requirements and things like that and it sort of fell apart. it went on for three years. we extended the farm bill for three years. we just can't do that, especially during this period where we are in the third year of a price depression and we have this trade fall -- trade p

phil mattingly, thank you so much. let's broaden this out and talk about this watershed moment for the trump administration. obviously we have eyes on buses. and these republican lawmakers head to go the white house. but with me now i have cnn senior former adviser to the trump have campaign. law school who wrote the book "other people's houses" about the financial 2009 melt down. also davis white house reporter to "the new york times." and bob cue sack editor in chief of the hill. so welcome to all of you. julie, just listening to the president earlier today, final cabinet meeting of the year, a glowing self report card. talking about tax reform, repealing the individual mandate. economy booming. i imagine that was a warm-up what we'll see from the south lawn. >> well, absolutely. i mean, president trump has been waiting for the opportunity to take a victory lap. of course we saw him have a similar event outside the white house earlier this year on health care hoping that they would get there in terms of repealing oba

phil mattingly joins me now with more. phil, the president said he broke that record for signing legislation. is there any way, any technicality where he could make that argument? >> the short answer is no. the 96 bills that he signed into law in his first year in office falls far short of his predecessors going back to at least dwight eisenhower. it's an odd metric to fixate on. he has done things that are major accomplishments for conservatives. you can talk about the tax bill which also repealed the obamacare individual mandate and allowed drilling up in alaska. he's got 12 circuit court judges, a supreme court justice that have all been confirmed. these are things that republicans would like to focus on, not necessarily the numbers, particularly when they fall short. but by any metric you look at, jim, if you want to talk about bills, and keep in mind these aren't all major legislation initiatives for any appellapres 96 bills that he signed into law so far don't measure up to his predecessors up to this point. >> why b

phil matingly is closely watching this. phil, we get to the votes in a moment. but first, what response are you hearing with the deal? >> mostly republicans are trying to digest things. this is moving at a very, very quick clip. the proposal has not been unveiled. republican leaders say good about where they will end up. the mentioned the state and local tax deduction expand and that hit a lot of concerns from republicans in states like new jersey and new york and most importantly california. they feel good about where that is. there is no question about it. the details matter a tremendous amount. not just for congress, but everybody in the country. until all of the details are out, it's likely you won't know where things are going to end up. the expectation has been and will continue to be in the days ahead that they will move on this. on monday. they expect to have this to the president's desk. what's going to be in the 500 plus pages that you noted? i want to get more specifics on the proposed deal and get back to you in a moment. he's the tax and economics r

phil touched on it.of dysfunction. >> i was going to say, i think for the first time republicans are reaping the benefits of controlling the two branches of government, the legislative branch and the executive branch. they really i think unexpectedly had been at each other's throats and there was so much squabbling and disunity in the republican party that it was essentially like they were not in control of the levers of government but now they really are seeing the benefits of controlling all the branches of government. >> i spoke to senator mcconnell yesterday who talked about the enthusiasm that his members felt about this which is very different than health care. he compared those meetings to a root canal, said there was low enthusiasm on health care, on obamacare repeal they were taking away more than they were giving which is a painful thing for lawmakers to do for their constituents. on taxes, it's the opposite. and there was a certain level of enthusiasm and also a palpable desperation after fail

phil? >> reporter: that's right. the techs there, they could do it very quickly, but there's one big voice out there saying not so fast. here's the story. ane and use fa lly equipped. >> we could do it in a matter of months. >> reporter: the idea of doing away with cash tolls and with the toll takers on bay area bridges has actually been going on for some time. look at the bay bridge or the san mateo or sip of maryland san rafael bridge -- richmond or san rafael bridge. it's called fastrak. making tolls all electronic is no sweat and that's just what the golden gate bridge did when it went all electronic with toll taking since 2013. how has it worked out for you guys? >> it's been great. toll takers used to collect 500 tolls an hour . with all electronic tolling we collect 1,500 tolls in an hour. >> reporter: and there's safety. >> there has been armed robberies. people with weapons have robbed the toll takers. >> we don't have people in the toll booths anymore, so while we do have accidents at the toll plaza there's

roberts: phil, i'm going reply with the answer that i usually give you. the farmer puts the seed in the -- never puts the seed in the ground without the hope he's going to have a crop. i'm optimistic this is going to happen because it has to happen. and so i know there are differences between the house and senate bill, and as a member of the house, i know how house members sometimes feel about the senate. but i think it's a good bill. i don't think the differences are that great. and we all agree that we have to have a bill. so that will work out. i think it's going to be ok. siobhan: do you prefer the senate or the house approach to pass-throughs, and define that for people, the sole proprietorships, partnerships l.l.p.'s that are different from , corporations. sen. roberts: i think -- yeah, i prefer the senate bill. i voted for it. and we can work very hard on it. that doesn't mean that we're going to have major differences in the bill. i think we're going to be ok. siobhan: where do you find the money to make some of the fixes that the house is demandi

i'm phil girl welcome to the program. donald trump's presidency faces a major test today as voters in alabama elect a new u.s. senator it is being billed as a battle of political cultures the moment could have an impact in washington president trump has angered the conservative establishment by endorsing the republican candidate roy moore a former state's judge whose campaign has been clouded by allegations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls they said these women do have not come forward for nearly forty years but they waited thirty days before this general election to come forward. if you don't believe in mark here. don't go. roy moore's democrats opponent is doug jones the former u.s. attorneys hoping to pull off an upset victory and what had been a deeply conservative state no democrat has held the u.s. senate seat from alabama in more than twenty years. has got more on this race than from t w a correspondent cotton farmer who joins us from washington. welcome cason are we likely to see an upset in alabama. it is

our panel is still here along with phil rucker.w that democrats are at a significant disadvantage and if you look at all the information on party i.d., do you think roy moore is freaking offensive enough for sort of an electoral, not a miracle, but an electoral anomaly to take place tuesday? >> i do, if the numbers come out. i think part of what i've been talking to people that work with us in alabama, our civil rights group, and they were saying some people didn't even know there was an election. that there hasn't been a real effort in the black community. i think roy moore just did for the democrats what they had not done for themselves. to suggest the last time america was great, the last time now, was in slavery. oh, we had a little race problem but the families got along. first of all, it was against the law for blacks to have a family. you couldn't name your kid after yourself during slavery and to act like we got along in slavery and to think this person could be sitting in the u.s. senate is, in my opinion, the reason why y

that the broad conversation as phil referenced was about the promise of dirt on hillary clinton, onces made clear that wasn't going to happen, the meeting ended abruptly and there was, that was it. the trump forces had been very keen in portraying this as a one off. this was a blip on the radar, it happened, there was nothing to it, and everyone moved on. and reporting today suggests maybe it wasn't exactly a blip on the radar, and it may well be in goldstone's words an eerie coincidence, but it is an eerie coincidence. and there's a lot of coincidences here. they may all just be coincidences in relation to this investigation, but dollar lot of them. >> because there was dirt in the health cared e-mails as we all know. the rest of the campaign which was the poe december that e-mails. >> the meeting had nothing to do but russians kids being adopted here in the united states. >> well, and the story just keeps changing. and it's particularly with these congressional investigators what they're being told on the front end, also covering the e-mails. and there's more to learn, and the fact

phil mercer, bbc news, sydney. will be able to afford all the new military equipment it plans to buy. a report by the commons defence select committee says the mod will struggle to make the necessary savings it needs to pay for newjets, warships and armoured vehicles, as ian palmer reports. she is the flagship of the royal navy. hms queen elizabeth, commissioned by her majesty the queen, earlier this month. at 280 metres long, she has space for a0 jet planes. but defence in the 21st—century does not come cheap. the biggest warship the british navy has ever had cost more than £3 billion. another aircraft carrier is being built in scotland. the ministry of defence want to spend £178 billion on more military equipment over the next ten years. it has to make savings to achieve that goal. to do that, it will have to sell buildings, and make efficiencies. however, the defence committee is extremely doubtful the mod can make those savings from an already stretched budget. the committee says funding pressures will inevitab

peter alexander at the white house, ken delanian and phil rutger. joining me is the earthi iics lawyer that served under george w. bush. others are saying the president cannot obstruct justice because of his responsibilities as the chief lawmaker under the constitution. your thoughts? >> we have heard before from richard nixon that the president is above the law. that didn't work for nixon and it's not going to work for trump. and this is just an extension of the trump administration's attitude. he said a number of months ago the president can't have a conflict of interest. that's wrong, too. the president is not above the law. we live in a democracy. we have a constitution. and if he doesn't want to comply with the constitution, he needs to get out of there. and the constitution does not say that as the chief law enforcement officer or as the president who appoints the chief law enforcement officer, the attorney general, he can obstruct justice. he cannot. no more than he can take a bribe when he signs or vetoes a bill. and he has got to learn to o
