strategist steve bannon. in the republican -- is the republican white house in washington with them on this statement that was so strident at cpac? molly: yes and no. one thing is you almost didn't have any republican congresspeople at cpac. ted cruz i believe is the only one to speak and many turned down offers. they've seen how the base of the party, that conservatism is what donald trump said it is and that can change. the deconstruction of the administrative state, scaling back the federal agencies' roles in things, that's something that i think republicans can agree on. republicans in congress agree with the administration, they've largely been with one voice behind all of the cabinet nominees. whose role in their agencies they largely see as scaling back what they saw as an everyly meddlesome executive branch in areas like environmental protection and the federal department of education. it is a conservative principle to scale back those agencies' roles. they felt the obama administration made those agencies too aggressive. where they don't agree is on things like immigration, on thin

speech and then u.n. on and bashed been -- steve bannon for his freedom of speech and articles he had supposedly approved through breitbart news. he wants to sit there and say the aclu has all of this right, they are defending our freedom of speech and then he is going to turn around and bash steve bannon for allowing publications -- whether i agree with him or not, he should be able to have the same conviction for steve bannon's website as he does for the aclu. that is my comment and i want to thank you for taking my call. host: let's hear from rob in stockton, california. republican. caller: good morning. get right to it here. number one, i think we need to -- again. when obama came in office there $9.8 trillion and it went to almost $20 trillion in debt. dohink mr. trump is going to an awesome job with curbing the way the financials are run in washington, d.c. and cleaning up this situation with all of the refugees and people coming in and pulling the finances in this country is a big part of it. this is the problem, the guy that was on a little while ago for tennessee, that gu
