reince priebus is from that space. he could be here, peter, somebody that will really be able to bring that language, this that message to the white house. >> he certainly will be and the liaison to the house of representatives in a very important way. if trump went in the other direction to bannon, he'd be facing two opposition par anies the house, have the democrats to contend with and paul ryan in the opposition because they would be at loggerheads. ryan himself has problems within his own caucus because of the tea party. we know obamacare will be repealed but with some popular elements maintained or it will be severely amended. this means it's going to be ryan's architecturarchitecture. that doesn't mean it's smooth sailing because he'll have problems of his own with regard to the very conservative elements of the republican party. it also means that we're going to see a toning down of the trump tax cuts. the trump tax cuts, this notion they could pay for themselves on the growth they generate alone, that's not goi

now, on the other side of that, reince priebus. he's a washington insider, as we've pointed out here. very tight with paul ryan, knows mitch mcconnell, is going to help donald trump enact his legislative agenda, that he needs those men and that institution to get through. and we're also told -- dana's also told that both priebus and bannon were highly involved in working this out. so, it sounds like, you know, donald trump, steve bannon, reince priebus having discussions about what kinds of roles should they take, where are people best suited to. and the other thing i want to point out here, fred, that we've talked a little bit about is that sometimes there can be that tension here. and i was just looking at breitbart news, which, of course, steve bannon ran before he went over to the trump campaign. and there was a headline there saying -- it was by michael savage, who, of course, is a well listened-to radio host with about 12 million conservative listeners across the country. he had a piece up on breitbart saying, you know, reinc

then he went onto say about priebus, it's a disgrace for the party and reince priebus should be ashamed of himself. >> you're right. that is part of the reason why some people who are close to trump had told us leading into this announcement that he was not so sure because he prides loyalty. loyalty is so important to him. steve bannon has been incredibly loyal to donald trump because bannon saw trump as the guy kwlo is finally pushing the issues and the policies and sort of the ideals that he had pushed through breitbart but reince priebus has a different role. he's chairman of the republican party and was during the primary process with 17 people running where he couldn't pick a horse. it was not always easy. even in the general election because of his role, he openly criticized donald trump when the access hollywood tape came out. >> and about the muslim ban. he said quote, i don't agree. we need to aggressively take on radical islamic terrorism but not at the expense of our american values. that's been a key thing that donald trump has run on along with the wall. sop what happens wh

anybody that has doubts about priebus doesn't know priebus. he's a great guy, well liked by the community. a political community that the rnc is, and he knows the governors around the country. he's one of the two or three best chairman i've seen. i think he can make things happen. >> make things happen, that's the watch word from ed rollins, ed, who was associated with a pro trump pac, is a fox news contributor and is here and has tons of experience. again, your book "bare knuckles and back rooms." ed, thank you for your time on this. >> thank you very much. >>> speaking of the white house, kristen fisher is there live now with more. what are you hearing, kristen? >> reporter: republicans on capitol hill have been watch thing very closely, because it really was going to show you which direction the trump administration was going to go. did they want to get along with the establishment republicans, especially house speaker paul ryan, which they had been at odds with so many times during the campaign season. or were they going to go in the oppos

while i have a good regard for chairman priebus, now chief priebus, i don't think this sends the bestsage in terms of forging a bipartisan consensus on the major issues of the day, and i think a president trump will need that to get things done. and i do have a reservation and concern about that. we've had other chairmen, robert strauss, when he was chairman of the democratic party, frank farr farrincof when he was chairman of the republican party, have gone on to achieve things in a bipartisan manner but not in the chief of staff position. >> what do you make of his pick of steve bannon as his chief strategist? yes, these two men worked well together on the campaign, but they really couldn't be more different in the way that they go about politics. >> well, some would say it's an odd couple, but that's not the first time you've had differing personalities and differing views, really, in a white house. there's been some references with some of your earlier commentators in that regard. and it's not unusual for the chief political person, karl rove, for example, among others, to be in t
