east tennessee. april, thank you for coming. how is the tax plan going to impact you and your family? >> thank you for having me, katy. the tax plan is just going to make my family more insecure about our financial future and the future of our children and their ability to get health care for their needs and our family's ability to afford to provide them with that health care. >> are you on the exchanges? >> i buy my plan through the exchange, because of our income. our twins qualify for tennessee's medicaid, and so -- this tax bill is putting medicaid in jeopardy again, and, you know, as mom of kids who depend on, you know, their doctors and specialists, i -- this is keeping me up at night worrying, are we going to be able to afford to give them the medical care that they need in the future. >> what sort of medical care would they lose if medicaid gets cuts if your premium goes up? what do you stand to lose? >> if medicaid were cut, if my twins lost their coverage, we wouldn't be able to afford to s

that's tennessee, mississippi, other states not as ruby red as alabama. look at tennessee. can't leave anything on the table. we have to have 50-state strategy to take back the house next year. and now because of alabama once again, u.s. senate is in play. >> and on the second piece, mentioned medicare, medicaid, daca. i know that democrats care about doing something on infrastructure, big debate today is whether or not do those things with republicans, mitchell mcconnell and donald trump, and combine with them to get wins on those things as election strategy. your thoughts? >> infrastructure -- when mitchell mcconnell and donald trump talk about bipartisanship, it's hysterical. mitch mcconnell used special procedures to make sure that democrats were not part of gop tax plan and also with the repeal of obamacare used reconciliation because they didn't want democrats involved. to talk about partisanship is crazy. also the same person who held as we know the supreme court seat for over a year. and also during the obama years said the one thing i want to make sure is obama is

running in tennessee. no one thought he would. tennessee's much more democratic than alabama. and so you can't look at this and say we don't have opportunities. now, look, should we be favored in these places? no. th are they real uphill battles? absolutely. but incredible enthusiasm now. we cared more about the innewsism gap than the daily poll numbers. what you see in alabama is decreased republican turnout and massive turnout among the democratic base especially african-american women. and so that put some of these states like tennessee, like arizona, into play. >> matt, every day seems to be a different bad story for republicans today. and for a number of days now, it's been blake farenthold now in texas, of course alabama. practically any presidential poll that you look at now is president trump, sub.40. how does the republican party, how do they right this ship, when it seems every day their message is being undercut by some sort of scandal? >> they can't is the short answer right now. because they're still undergoing a civil war, which is much different than the civil w

and here in the state of tennessee -- let me just say, in the state of tennessee -- >> go ahead, congresswoman. >> -- for someone with an average income, a middle income, we're going to see about an $1,800 reduction in their tax burden. that's a lot of money for people here in middle tennessee. it's estimated about 18,000 new jobs will be created. and the increase in wages will be about another $1,800. so this is a big deal and a big help to the middle income earners. >> right. but now, look, but testing on this is also fairly simple. because we're dealing with maybes versus certainties, okay? these are maybes. maybe wages will go up. maybe the expansion of any type of corporate windfall here will help middle class families. maybe the tax benefits will help stave off the tax increases they get later on. but the certainties seem to not get played enough. you made the corporate tax cuts permanent. you didn't do that for the individuals? you could have flipped it and made their tax cuts permanent and made the corporate ones temporary, but you didn't do that. and it seems pretty clear why, because
