senator toomey said is it -- if it ends up being debt neutral, it will be an anemic tax bill. rep.: we will deliver reforms and tax cuts in some form. i am going for the greatest growth for the greatest number of years for americans. the way to do that is you go bold. so families and businesses can count on it, including those we hope will bring those jobs and supply chains back to the united states. tax reform should move us toward a balanced budget, not away from it. me,ill work with senator to i am looking forward to working to get this done. sahil: there is talk of a potential 15% or 20%. do you prevent individuals from abusing that rate by restructuring themselves? experts say it would take is significant expansion to the scope of the irs. rep. brady: we are focused on lowering the rates for every size business. separatet, we want to business from wage income. we think there are good ways to do it. we are working with the treasury department since the day secretary mnuchin took office to make sure the run out abuses in that area. we recognize it -- there are not abuses in that

listen to what senator pat toomey said about all of this. >> that is the right time frame generally tod debate a bill in september. bring it on to the floor of both house and senate. if we follow that approximate timeline we get it to the president before thanks giving. that does dramatically improve the chances of getting it done. reporter: then just a couple of the key points that tax reform will include. remember we learned this in ape. they want to go very simple three different tax brackets. 10%, 25%, 35%. corporate tax rate about 15%. repeal state and local tax deductions. that would be eliminated in that passes. there was mick mulvaney, director at omb, there was proposal we heard about mr. bannon, tacking about maybe raising the tax rate for very, very wealthy individuals to over 40%. that is not the going to happen, although it was discussed. here is what mick mulvaney said, quote, the prince millions released last week, do not entail any tax increase on individual rates. we're headed to tax reform. whether it passes is another issue. you can bet there is going to be legislati

one republican senator in particular, senator toomey of pennsylvania said that he was shocked by thatweet. he's not one to take shots at trump. other republicans kind of more mild in their responses. just pointing out that vladimir putin is the one to blame for poor relations with russia obviously, not congress. >> shepard: what are individual members of congress, especially in his own party, how are they reacting to this? >> well, i would say that tensions that have been kind of under the surface between republicans and the trump white house really since trump's election, since before his election when many or most didn't support him are bubbling to the surface in the past couple weeks. it's been a number of factors. the failure of the healthcare bill with trump then urging the senate to keep trying on that and senators saying no thanks. trump telling mitch mcconnell to kill the filibuster rule and break the senate rules. republicans saying no, we're not doing to do that. trump throwing jeff sessions under the bus. senators really aghast at that. pushing back hard. the white house bu

we saw it during the 2016 election, where you had pat toomey running for senate in pennsylvania wheree wouldn't comment on donald trump. will you get republicans running against trump, speaking out against him? we had jeff flake doing that yes, the answer is yes, these guys are politicians. what's going to cause them to move away from trump further is his low approval ratings. i don't think you'll see many of them foreswearing him. the presidency being in your party is far too powerful for them to push away that asset. >> how do you see -- let's talk real world here, how this might affect things that are really close and upcoming. >> there are a number of these must pass things that have to come through congress, they have to raise the debt ceiling. and the president's low poll numbers and the dissatisfaction and increasing -- it used to be the republicans in congress were afraid of the president, i think they're less afraid of him than they used to be. i think it means he has much less leverage in these fights. it's been an internal fight within his administration whether to seek con

that's just words on a piece of paper unless they're actually eneforced, which is why senator toomeynd i have introduced bipartisan legislation modeled after the iran sanctions so we really put teeth in these sanctions. right now chinese banks, chinese firms and others are saying that they're complying with the sanctions, but they're not. they're violating the sanctions right and left, which continues to provide aid and comfort for the north korean regime. so what we need to do is pass legislation like the iran sanctions legislation that actually puts teeth in this, gets the attention of china. one of the things president trump has done is he's gone hot and cold on china with respect to north korea. what we need is a firm message to china saying, you can't just go to the united nations security council and say you're going to implement sanctions. you've actually got to follow through. and that's the whole purpose of our bipartisan legislation, and i think we're going to have hearings and i think we're going to have a vote on that when we come back. >> then it's also making sure china

that's just words on a piece of paper unless they're actually enforced, which is why senator toomey and i have introduced bipartisan legislation modeled after the iran sanctions so that we really put teeth in these sanctions. right now, a chinese banks, chinese firms and others are saying that they're complying with the sanctions, but they're not. they're violating the sanctions right and left, which continues to provide aid and comfort for the north korean regime. >> so anthony, my question is, is there a lot more, you know, wiggle room here on the sanctions to really crack down on north korea or not? and what needs to happen to make sure the chinese banks comply? >> there's absolutely a lot more room. we are nowhere near where we were on iran. in 2010 on iran, we passed a u.n. resolution and congress passed new sanctions law, and then we had a ramp-up, a u.s.-led sanctions campaign. we don't have that right now. that's what this new resolution is this where we move to a sanctions campaign. it's china, it's chinese banks and companies, and individuals that are facilitating north korea

pat toomey said it out loud two months ago.. >> is this a personal response to mcconnell or a strategy to try to put health care on the table and get the senate to go back in and repeal and replace? >> i don't think this is a strategy. i feel like i read 15,000 pages of robert caro for nothing. right? it's like -- apparently all you have to do is just tweet nasty stuff about mitch mcconnell. the president will not have a legacy if he can't move things through a republican senate. he has a substantial majority. it's likely to decrease over the next cycle. we also have a situation in the house where he hasn't really been able to get stuff done. one of the reasons he wanted to get reince priebus out of the white house is because it was priebus and paul ryan the speaker who came up with this sequencing plan. i think in order to have anything resystemabling a legacy, he needs a decent relationship with mitch mcconnell. if this were a strategy, i would say good idea. but the president as i say kasie hunt said, had no interest in the

i think trump toomey has been predominantly a non-event.ty president and has been good at creating headlines and generating noise, but if you look at the world and ask if anything has changed, i'm not sure if anything concrete has mattered. francine: but is there a danger in writing him off? he is still the commander-in-chief. something unexpected could come when it comes to internal politics. >> we expect him to be president for a number of years. he certainly matters. negotiation is always to threaten to walk away. what we saw last night, in terms of nafta, if we don't get what i want, we will walk away and in terms of building a wall, if we don't get what i want, i will walk away from the debt ceiling. this is his style of negotiation. it does matter and it is a shame to take the u.s. that feeling again to the wire. it i-- take the u.s. debt ceiling again to the wire. been a movehere has forward with discussion over tax reform. there has in progress and this is just trump speaking at a rally and to doing what he always does when he is ta
