Nicery. Were on top of that decision shortly here that could be others are saying consumers it could cut a number of different ways. Were on top of that. Were on top after market rally that knows no bounds. It would be 69th record of the year, go back to bill clinton president , 1995, for the most records achieved in single calendar year. A lot depends on tax reform getting done. Speaker paul ryan, a lot of that depends on my friends in the United States senate. Take a look. It is all about timing and managing absences in the senate. So, were basically being flexible for the majority leader. I talked to mitch a couple times about this were simply being flexible to honor their concerns about managing their schedule and possibly absences. Neil how will that sort out . Were talking about senators cochran and john mccain who might be too ill to be there for the big vote. That could make a big difference. To fox news capitol hill producer chad pergram. What do they do in that event . Here is what happens next couple days. They have to finish the bill text. They didnt do that in the Conference Meeting yesterday. That is facade. This is offstage. Im told tomorrow there will be Conference Call with House Republicans. They will walk them through the bill. That decision will be made whether the house bows first or senate goes first. Usually you have the body that asks for the conference committee, in this case the house of representatives, theyre the one that goes first, excuse me, they defer to the other body. The house asked for the conference. The senate would go first but it is not a hard and fast rule. What could happen though, theyre concerned about the health of mccain, suffering from mccain issues with cancer treatment, cochran hasnt been there in a while from mississippi. The problem could they be there late at night for another votearama. Where the senate votes for hours and hours. The senate has to go through what is called the byrd bath. They throw out anything that might be extraneous that doesnt count on budget rules. Guess what, neil. They would have to go back to the house of representatives. That eats up a lot of time. Not a problem they have passing the bill . The senate, it is issue they need to avoid a Government Shutdown at the end. Week and theyre running out of track. Neil in that event you lose two republican votes could be yea votes. Do they push it back . Does the math chain . Now you have got two fewer republicans takes fewer votes . Explain that. You could be down to 98 votes. Thad cochran hasnt been voting recently. John mccain. 98, if it is 4949 tie. You would perceive to have 49 nos if democrats hold together, bob corker one republican no on republican bill, 4949 Vice President pence comes to break the tie. We found out this morning delayed his travels to the middle east. Some people have told me that is part of what the gig is here. Theyre saying wait a minute, if it is 4949 we might need Vice President pence to break the tie. Anything else besides a tie the president can not cast a ballot. Neil you know this thing could be in jeopardy. That is the real risk. Some people said where is sauce san Collins Susan collins, republican from maine on. This you have to bounce back to the house of representatives. In variable of time it takes another step. More streamlined. They could probably not decide this over the weekend or until monday. The big thing theyre watching, neil, they could pass the tax bill, have the Government Shutdown. Talk about stepping on their own narrative. This would be the first major legislative achievement for the Trump Presidency here. The government shuts down end of the week. They have real problems trying to figure out how to fund the government. The government is funded 1 1 1 59 p. M. Next friday night. Neil to Virginia Republican congressman, House Freedom caucus member dave bratt. I think you coming out of nowhere to become a United States congressman. Days like this, times like this, i bet you wonder whether it was worth it. Tell me what you think of this . I love my economic professor days. These days make you nervous but Shutdown Scenario i dont think there is too much risk of that. Were going to run out the clock, that is pretty clear. Youre bumming on tax tuesday, wednesday, like chad just said. Then we got the budget to resolve thursday, friday. Im already hearing we have a cr coming back that looks decent. Neil talking about continuing resolution that keeps things limping along. That puts us into january, right . Dont like that. You have to go through all the drama again. The defense folks are concerned. We dont want a hit to defense, the longer you do a cr, the less good that is for our military. So there is just a bunch of variables we have to process. But in the end, i mean you guys opened it up, the market is going through the roof, that is the good news. When the fed does rate hikes three times in a row, that is about a good real world evidence you can get, that the economy itself is fundamentally sound. And thats great news. The markets neil do you worry the rate hikes get in the way of whatever stimulus you might get from your tax cuts . Yeah i do. We need to educate everybody on that. Under obama they had 4 trillion in highpowered money, sugar stimulus and 700 billiondollar deficit stimulus. Were doing the right thing. Were providing a Solid Foundation for the economy. Now the fed can finally get rates back up to a normal equalibrium level but American People have to understand, that is a good thing. That will eat away at a little bit of growth, but again a strong, fundamental economy is the most important thing and the jobs will continue to kick in for the kids and, i taught college kid for 20 years. For me, that is why i ran. We have got good news coming. Neil you hope. One of the things that had come up, congressman, a lot on this debate back and forth whether everyone will be in line. Im getting a sense these other illnesses in the senate, notwithstanding senators mccain and cochran, whether there could be a revolt with susan colins, marco rubios who back off for other reasons. Could this unravel there . I hope paul ryan and some of other leadership comment on that. That gets to the democracy. When one person has leverage over entire congress, really over the entire American People, something is wrong with the system. That is the swamp. The system is broken when one person can leverage the entire country and both bodies. I think it is incumbent on our side hey, that is not right. Follow the republican platform. It is fine to have debate and compromise within that structure but allowing these individual people to have total leverage over the entire country i dont care whether youre democrat or republican, thats wrong. The American People sent us here to, House Republicans and the Senate Republicans and the white house and it is our responsibility to get things through. You need eight democrat senators to go along with some of these things were doing. So we ought to compromise, right . It should be proportional to the eight seats. Not one person getting their will over the American People. Neil gotcha. Good seeing you again, congressman. Be well. You too, thank you. Neil we should let you know here, john cornyn, major texas republican leader is indicating right now he thinks john mccain is going to be voting next week. The senator, as you know is receiving treatment for brain cancer. He has missed a couple key votes this week but he will be able to vote on the tax compromise measure were told next week. Cornyn would know one way or the other. Number two republican in the u. S. Senate. He says that senator mccain is just restings up. We showed you a screen a second ago of senators Susan Collins and marco rubio who are doubters on this for other reasons. But we want to get the read and lay of the land how this all factors out with a potential vote as soon as next week. Daily caller editorial director vince colin nays on that. Other senators balking at provisions that have been tucking in there. Susan collins doesnt like top rate being lowered, neither does marco rubio. What do you think . There is a lot of people heading their breath right now. The idea once we get back the first hurdles of getting them to conference everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It is obvious far from over. You need two votes in the house and senate. It is a good sign john mccain is come back. If you want to see this bill pass he presumably will be a yes on that. He is always a question mark on these types of bills. The idea with Susan Collins and marco rubio what we have seen they have expressed grumpiness in public not getting things they want inside of the tax package. What they have not said they are a no vote. They have complained about that top rate coming down in marco rubios case especially. He was upset he didnt get to extend child care tax credit further for more of working place but you know, at the end i think they will have to make the calculation do we want to be in the position supports having a billets americans keep more of their own money . I think most republicans will say yes to the gambit. Neil in the end are market run up justified . They are anticipating tax cuts and good things come from it. Reports from Money Center Banks saying good things will come from it. What do you think . So right now, the numbers keep coming up. They suggest marco rubio and Susan Collins will show up to the table to vote yes. I think there is a clear correlation as we seen the news cycle run every turn and interrace of tax bill, the markets responded and pass it next week and president sign it i think you will see a nice bounce. What if we dont . What if there is some disappointment axe s this tax cut or dont plow into new workers or pay more money . Theyre free to do whatever they want with the money but how will that fall out . What you will see democrats point to that as weakness of this tax package. Bringing on Child Tax Credit. Having a situation where youre increasing that standard deductible and trying to take care of middle class families. For now, even if there is delayed benefits from these Companies Getting good tax wind falls in the end they will eventually show up in workers pockets in addition to individual rate hikes, not hikes but rate changes too. Neil good seeing you my friend. Nice see you. Neil more concern about bias in the russian probe and what certain guy named mueller will do about that, if he has done enough at all about it, after this. Cannot live without it. So if you cant live without it. Why arent you using this guy . It makes your wifi awesomely fast. No. Still nope. Now were talking it gets you wifi here, here, and here.

Leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. Comcast business outmaneuver. Neil is it time for bob mueller to go or at least fire a lot of people still working under him given the fact weve got these revelations and texts from former top official who showed a distinct bias against president of the United States . Blake burman with all the details now. What are you hearing . Reporter talk about traction republicans want to see addition, calling for some within the house judiciary committee, a second specs counsel essentially to investigate the investigators on this one. This was raised once again yesterday during a hearing among the house judiciary committee. Bob goodlatte is one who chairs that committee. Once again earlier today he called for a Second Special counsel looking into bob muellers team. We have called upon the department of justice to appoint a Second Special counsel to look into all of this. And as the evidence mounts there is need for investigation by someone who has prosecutorial abilities, it is very important. The independent, the Inspector General can do an internal investigation report, but doesnt have prosecutorial authority. Reporter several different grievances from republicans. One they point to political donations made by members of the mueller team mainly to democrats but also two, peter strzok, the nowremoved fbi investigator from muellers team as obtained by fox news the multitude of Text Messages he said that were antitrump Text Messages. Republicans have been focusing on this specific one that comes from august 2016 in which strzok wrote in the text message, and i quote here, i want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in andys office that there is no way he, meaning then candidate trump, gets elected but im afraid we cant take that risk. Now many republicans believe that the andy that was referred to in that text is andy mccabe, who is the Deputy Director of the fbi. They question whether or not that leads to some sort of conspiracy against then candidate trump during the election. Yesterday, rod rosenstein, the Deputy Attorney general who hired robert mueller, was asked about this Second Special counsel, rather. Keep in mind the Inspector General from the department looking into all of this, and rosenstein said, and i quote, we have a responsibility to make a independent determination and we will. Neil . Neil thank you, my friend, Florida Republican congressman matt gaetz says something need to be done now. He connect ad lot the dots that dont look favorable to him. I was at one point lone voice in the wilderness calling for bob mueller to be fired based on conflicts interest evidence to me months ago. There are more republicans seeing this evidence of bias. More important that were not just see somebody express opinion about President Trump or secretary clinton, these are actual plans with Text Messages and meetings with people at fbi to undermine the sitting president of the United States before and after he was elected. We need an fbi that is independent, that people can trust. We do not have a process now that is going to yield a result instills any confidence in the American People because bob mueller has recruited a team of people who are like the governing board of the never trump movement. I think we deserve better. Neil you dont accept at face value when he got rid of one guy, that was enough . This is not one guy. You have jeanie reed, one of the lawyers who actually defended Clinton Foundation against foia requests. Very individual who set up Hillary Clintons email server a part of mueller probe. Over half of the members of muellers team donated to Hillary Clinton or barack obama. None of them donated to President Trump. Either you have got a circumstance where bob mueller specifically recruited people who had a bias against the president , or just coincidence of all coincidences that this seems to be the collection of people persecuting the president. It is also worthy to note, neil, bob mueller did not produce this to us. He essentially had his team busted by horowitz, Inspector General of the fbi. They were forced to come forward, not because they wanted to but because devin nunez and Intelligence Committee was issuing subpoenas and demanding testimony and this would have come out. I think there is more to come still. That is why we need to get rid of bob mueller to have truly independent review of true collusion that happened between the dnc, fbi, and fusion gps company that was paying russians. Neil democrats are charging you, not you specifically, but this, republicans are pounces on this as act of deflection. What do you say . Well i mean the evidence is overwhelming. It wasnt republicans that sent Text Messages back and forth claiming that these people at the fbi would be the insurance policy, the saviors of the American People. This is hard, smoking gun evidence, not only of bias but of plans to act on that bias in a way to undermine President Trump. You know, democrats, used to cry and squall about russia every week in the congress. It seems these days, theyre the ones trying to deflect because they dont want to talk about this anymore based on the dnc and the fbis work with the fusion gps company that produced this salacious and unverified dossier. Neil are you worried about the sort of scheme of unintended consequences . Lets say you succeed getting mueller out of there, not as if investigations in either direction are going to go away. I assume there would be another prosecutor, maybe starting from scratch, maybe picking up muellers work and this goes on and on . Neil has to be an end at some point. Time for bob mueller to put
