Friday in the white house needs to review it, processed them i take a few days. the president could have a bill sent to him at mar-a-lago to sign next week but more likely fox is told a big signing ceremony in washington when congress returns the beginning of january. waiting until january but also postpone possible cuts to entitlement programs like medicare to offset the cost of tax reform. the white house fully expects to get waivers to those cuts in a spending agreement over the next three da...

Pass and the president will sign it into law. the next step will be what the president adamantly opposed doing during the campaign, cutting entitlement spending, social security and medicare and medica medicaid. >> i find it hilarious. in a mid-term election when the party is divide and they face head winds and wave numbers. they are going to after passing a deficit fund and tax cut make it up to the freedom caucus bypassing the entitlement reform. these mean republicans cut your entitlement pro...

Buyback driving up the price of stock. so, again, this is a guy by the way, president trump, who ran on cutting the national debt. when it was 20 trillion. this is going to add 1.5 trillion over ten years. that is not cutting the national debt. and unless kathryn is correct and oh, its so high we have to cut some of these entitlement programs which dont benefit the poor. >> marco rubio said this on tv. >> if you are right, thats the cynical part of this that people are factoring in. >> let me sq...

The budget document reflects what the presidents priorities are. and i would imagine they would be uniform across the government. so you notice one of the words that was forbidden or people were told not to use is the word entitlement. cdc is not an agency that has any of the entitlement programs. that suggests to me that this is something broader within hhs. >> all right, its fascinating read. lena sun, thank you so much, happy hanukkah, happy holidays. all right, still ahead, one of presiden...

Good start. of course entitlements need to be reviewed. i hope senator sanders will be willing to engage in a constructive discussion on that score. of the years he has talked about expanding those mandatory or entitlement programs which we know are not sustainable. >> okay. lets get to the issue of sexual misconduct. this week during a house overnight committee meeting with rod rosen stein, there was questions about the president. it was all raised there. lets take a look. >> i see you as a law...

The tax bill itself. it seems to be an indication that theyve worked out the wrinkles when it comes to how to fund this thing. what are you hearing new this morning on that? >> theyre probably going to be raising this repatriation tax for companies that have to bring money back overseas. there was talk yesterday about potentially, you know, sunsetting or letting the individual tax cuts expire a little bit earlier. we heard thats probably not going to happen. well be waiting to see what final twe...

Bigger paychecks, a more simple system. just doubling the standard deductions means 9 out of 10 people can fill out their taxes in a form like a postcard. so the results are going to be what sells this bill, not the confusion before it passes. on entitlement reform, ive long said there are two things you have to do to get this debt under control. reform the entitlement programs which are an autopilot and grow the economy. we had three reconciliation packages prepared for this congress. the first...

Going to launch more investment and workers, convinced this will give bigger paychecks and doubling the standard deduction means nine out of ten -- i wish i had it with me -- can fill the taxes out on a form like the postcard. the results will be what sells this bill. not the confusion before it passes. on entitlement reform, ive long said there are two things you got to do to get this debt under control. reform the entitlement programs, which are on autopilot, and grow the economy. we had three...

Get their demands without crashing their agenda? it would close the margin by one. the thing that makes republicans happy if jones wins it is only two years. >> sandra: the hill said it could offend gop agenda significantly. it could scuttle efforts to replace obamacare and reform entitlement programs. well leave it there. a big day and night for you, thanks for being here early. as the final results come in from the special election in alabama, catch our prime time special tonight with martha m...

Defense and then democrats are going to claim then you have to increase spending for nondefense and back and forth, back and forth. >> im not an expert on nondefense spending. but i am a citizen and i do look at the entitlement programs we have. theyre going to break the piggy bank. the president has said hands off on some of that. we know this is a collision that is coming and were going to have to face up to that reality. those are two realities we have to deal with. security of the united sta...
