joining us now, congressman sean duffy, member of the financial services committee. congressman, what a day. congratulations. the republican conference having its way and moving ahead in both houses. what a splendid victory for you all. >> i got to tell you what. the sun was shining a little brighter today that we actually passed tax reform. if you look back a couple of months, you had liberal pundits saying the trump administration and republican leadership can't accomplish anything. in here we have done something historic. we've given one of the largest tax reform package to the american people, a christmas gift. letting them keep more of their own money and spending it themselves. radicals thought that we left businesses and corporations keep more of their money, which hires more of our families and gives more opportunities for our families. i got to tell you what. it was unique. i know you haven't always been the nicest to the speaker of the house. my friend from wisconsin, paul ryan -- >> lou: i've been downright nasty and critical on various occasions he earned

joining me for more on the russian investigation wisconsin congressman sean duffy good to have you here, representative duffy. >> thanks for having me on. trish: let's start with devin nunez's request to start getting some of these documents he has been asking for over and over again and has not yet received. is this going put pressure on the fbi to do at least what you guys are asking? >> first of all you have to ask the question, why, trish? the request went in four months ago. the fbi as slow-walked and stonewalled devin nunez on the intelligence committee. i think they're not turning this information to over because they have something to hide. this information if they give it to the congress is going to embarass the fbi with regard to the dossier and whether they paid for it and what the dossier was used for with regard to the trump investigation. that aside, the congress is so frustrated with fbi and doj not providing us with information, i think you will see a lot of members of congress willing to hold leadership in contempt if at the do not provide information to us this is tact

republican congressman sean duffy reacts to all that coming up from the hill. >> sandra: will this bepiece of legislation for president donald trump? we'll ask former white house deputy chief of staff karl rove. plus there's this. >> it will be in front of cambridge. >> whoa, whoa, whoa. >> bill: hang on. that's a suspect speeding away and an officer holding on for dear life on the body camera on his chest. the story behind that dramatic footage coming up in a moment. bp is taking safety glasses to a whole new level. using augmented reality so engineers in the field can share data and get expert backup in the blink of an eye. because safety is never being satisfied and always working to be better. >> sandra: as we have been telling you, we're awaiting a final house vote on tax reform this morning? the gop is already celebrating a hard-fought victory. critics say this bill could become a political liability. with some even calling it the republican obamacare, dana milbank writes in the "washington post" quote, now republicans are making impossibly high promises. if anything goes wrong,

let's bring in congressman sean duffy, republican from wisconsin. thank you for talking to us, great to see you as always. president trump again insisting there was no collusion when speaking to "the new york times," he also thinks special counsel robert mueller will treat them fairly. do you believe he will? >> i don't know why he's talking to "the new york times," they are not friends of his, they are the failing "new york times." that he keeps giving them interviews baffles me. the president has more information than all of us have in regards to where the investigation is going because a lot of his team, a lot of his staff have already talked to mueller and his prosecutors. for me i'd look at this investigation, i look at bob mueller who has a great reputation but if you look at the people who he has brought into this investigation, they are democrat donors, they seem to have a political bias towards hillary clinton and against donald trump and when you have those kind of team members investigating the president, i don't know how you get a fair r

tomorrow night congressman sean duffy among our guests. he was a lumberjack. a great lumberjack. taking credit for the nation's booming economy. plus robert mueller. it's time to get kicking. sometimes it seems the president can do no right. but that doesn't matter as long as business is booming, wages are up and people are working. remember when candidate trump said this? >> if i could snantd middle of fifth avenue and shoot somebody and i wouldn't lose any voters.

byron york, washington examiner chief political correspondent with me in the studio is congressman sean duffy, republican from wisconsin and two democratic strategists, joe trippi and joe bold en. trippi, let's start with you. where am i going wrong here? you heard the angle, president trump not where he needs to be in poll numbers. polls say 32, some say 38, 35. but it is not where he wants to be obviously. do you think that president trump can bring his numbers up, don't make any cracks they can't get any lower, they can. if he can bring his numbers up next year with some of these initiatives. going to the people, selling this message. >> i thought you nailed it in terms of some of the things he needs to do like get rid of -- i would go further and not some of the twitter but just about all of it. he often gets in his own way of his own accomplishments. he has had them but then the next day he tweets something or attacks somebody and i think that really gets in the way of his message. you're right, the mainstream media jumps on that and makes him pay for it. but they would make any presiden

congressman sean duffy joins us now. mr.ll the house, just maybe adopt the senate bill, so that you could just speed through everything immediately? could we do that? >> good morning, stuart. we could do that but we're not going to do that you saw last night we voted in the house to go to conference with the senate. listen i like to beat up on the senate. i like to rib the senate but tell you what? i'm pretty proud the senate actually got a tax bill done but there are things i have concern about. to not get rid of repeal alternative minimum tax is mistake. we do that in the house bill. senate didn't repeal alternative minimum tax. that is tweak we have to make. stuart: can you do that for corporations? can you get rid of amt for corporations? i think that is one of the bills, in conference get rid of it, it would certainly help tech stocks? >> it may, my biggest concern concern is upper middle income families that we have in america that get hit by this tax which was meant for wealthiest americans when it was implemented, st

sean duffy, wall street journal associate editor, how do they get them? >> we don't fully know.ere is a piece of this online, richard ruben, it looks like around the edges, some accommodation of specific issues some of the senators had but at core here, there is going to be walking into this a disagreement, and agreement to disagree with the joint committee on taxation that says you are adding $1 trillion to the nation's debt over the next we 10 years of this tax reform. and the senate where there are a lot of deficit hawks are saying, you know something? we think the growth rate of the economy is going to be bigger than you are saying, joint committee, we are counting on that happening and we believe those deficits aren't there or they are willing to shoulder them. of the 20 the regular debt will be growing so much faster, another $9 million to $10 million on that but let me ask you what susan collins is on, the idea the senate like the house might just keep part of the state and local tax deduction or put a $10,000 limit on that, it would cushion the blow somewhat for those fr

republican congressman sean duffy of wisconsin tweets, i co-sponsored h.r. 38, the concealed carry reciprocity act because our constitution is worth defending. and democratic representative jackie speier of california sends the message, h.r. 38 would allow domestic violence offenders and those convicted of violent misdemeanors in certain states to bring concealed weapons into california, including our school zones. that's why i strongly oppose c.c.r. and urge my colleagues in the house to do the same. again a debate and vote on the concealed carry legislation in the house, here live on c-span tomorrow. >> tomorrow morning, we're live in tallahassee, florida, for the next stop on the c-span bus 50 capitols tour. florida state representative and speaker of the house richard corcoran will be our guest on the bus during "washington journal" starting at 9:45 a.m. eastern. >> now a portion of this morning's "washington journal," looking at president trump's executive orders. to cut the size of two national monuments. >> "washington journal" continues. host: joining us now is noelle e&e news, she ser

of the corporate governance reform and transparency act of 2017, and appreciate my good friend, sean duffy's work on it. over the past three decades i've advocated for responsible share horlede activism and urge directors to perform their responsibility of careful stewardship, particularly in the essential functions in evaluating corporate strategy, hiring able and executive management and critically capital allocation. for example, as berkshire haithaway warren buffett recommends corporate compensation committees must be composed of saber tooth tigers, not house cats, in their work. likewise, investors must take their opportunity to hold boards accountable for their irreplaceable role in maximizing returns for shareholders while executing a corporate strategy that balances shareholder returns with employees and customers. so the question is, how can investors effectively lower agency costs and actively meet this accountability mission? for 20 years, this has been a much discussed area by thoughtful experts. ike buffett, i.s.s. founder, robert, marty, grant schools at ucla, stanford, harvard
