On Friday, Buck brought on New York Post columnist Michael Goodwin, who offered a unique and veteran insight into the latest workings in DC.

The two began by discussing the looming possibility of a government shutdown. Goodwin said there’s something to be feared there.

“I’m not sure anything is going to get done in the short term” to resolve the dispute, “and look, this plays into Democrats’ hands. They want to make the GOP look like they can’t govern. The clock is ticking.”

The two then moved to news from Trump’s Twitter account that a tax reform package will be introduced next week, including a tax cut for individuals and businesses.

“Is this going to happen?” asked Buck.

“I’m kind of confused on this,” Goodwin said. “Steve Mnuchin told us nothing would be coming until August. He must have meant they wouldn’t pass it until August. But if they’re releasing it now, you’d think they’d be able to pass it by then. There’s mixed signals,” concluded Goodwin, who added that “the bigger it is, the harder it is to pass. There’s going to be so many objections.”

Goodwin had advice to make tax reform a reality.

“Do the corporate tax cut as a standalone. There’s more agreement that the corporate rate has to be cut. When you get into individual income tax, it’s all the personal exemptions where you run into trouble.”

He also had advice for Washington: “Everything in Washington has to be these big omnibus bills. It’s a mistake. If Washington is going to simplify government, and make it more accessible, they gotta do these things in bite size.”
