EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: “I don‘t know why the CBO can‘t grasp the reality that they are using a faulty baseline policy projection to make their scores. I agree. The reality has been distorted by the CBO."
PHILLIP: "This same CBO that was run by a Republican, a Republican — "
JENNINGS: "By the way, totally partisan people who hate Donald Trump. But go on."
PHILLIP: "The CBO is run by a Republican -- "
JENNINGS: " — that hates Trump."
PHILLIP: " -- who used to work for Donald Trump, by the way."
JENNINGS: "This is not an organization that exists [inaudible], and they totally mis-scored the 2017 tax rate."
PHILLIP: "CBO is run by a Republican who actually used to work in the Trump Administration, first of all."
JENNINGS: "You're saying people that worked in it don't hate Donald Trump?"
