President trump is leaning on Congressional Republicans to finish tax reform quickly. He asked gop house members on a Conference Call to go along with the senates budget blueprint. That would make it easier to pass the tax cut. The president will go to capitol hill tomorrow to meet with republican senators there for the first time. Major garrett is at the white house with the effort to win a legislative victory, major, good morning. Reporter good morning. The president s message to House Republicans can be summarized as follows. Hurry up. House gop leaders still cling to hope they can pass a tax cut bill by thanksgiving. Two key benchmarks lie ahead. Finalizing the budget this week and putting out the legislative details on the tax bill itself next week. Theres a great spirit for it. People want to see it. Reporter President Trump who, for days, has hailed stock market records as low unemployment, says the economy still needs trillions in tax cut to spur growth. I call it tax cuts. It is tax reform also. But i call it tax cuts. It will be the biggest cuts ever in the history of this country. Reporter Sherrod Brown said a Trump Administration staffed with many Goldman Sachs executive was angling to benefit the wealthy instead of the middle class. The people close to the president whispering in his ear all want to do tax cuts for want to do trickledown economics. Reporter the president also purportedly wants a shortterm obamacare fix. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell said hes open to bringing a bipartisan bill to the floor that would restore 7 billion in annual subsidies the president eliminated almost two weeks ago. We need a bill. The president will actually sign. Im not certain yet what the president s looking for here. Reporter when republican Lamar Alexander and democrat patty murray announced their health care deal, the president at first supported it. Thats a very good sole clusion. Reporter then he dumped it with very little evidence, mr. Trump called the bill a giveaway to insurance companies. I wont do anything to enrich the insurance companies. Reporter a lexen der and murray denied the charge, while Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said the president caved to conservative president. He called both senators murray and alexander, said come to a solution. Then they come do to a solution. The right wing attacks it. Reporter the white house has n nearly as vague on tax cuts. Keeping details under wrap, hopinging in the end republicans will fall in line. Thats pretty much the strategy on three failed attempts to replace and repeal obamacare. The white house bets the fourth time is the charm. Arizona senator john mccain is taking another apparent shot at President Trump. This time over trumps vietnam war deferment. Latest in a series of verbal an exchanges that began last week. He criticized half baked spurious nationalism, which many saw as an attack on the president. Mr. Trump responded that at some point he would fight back. Well in an interview with cspan that aired last night, mccain who was a prisoner of war in North Vietnam for five years, appeared to call out the president. One aspect of the conflict, by the way, that i will never, ever is that we drafted the lowest income level of america and the highest income level, found a doctor that would say they had a bone spur. That is wrong. That is wrong. If were going to ask every american to serve, every american should serve. President trump got a total of five deferments during vietnam. Four for his College Studies and one for a bone spur in his heel. The white house has not responded to our request for comment. Army sergeant Bowe Bergdahl spent five years as a prisoner of the taliban. Starting today, a military judge will decide how long he will spend as a prisoner in the u. S. Bergdahl pleaded guilty last week to desertion and misbehaving before the enemy. The idaho native was captured in 2009 after he abandoned his post in afghanistan. Demarco morgan is at ft. Bragg, north carolina, where the sentencing hearing began a short time ago. Demarco, good morning to you. Reporter good morning. Bergdahl faces up to life in prison for charges of desertion and misbehavior before the enemy. Two of the soldiers who were wounded while searching for bergdahl are expected to take the stand during the sentencing phase. They dont just cut peoples throats. They delight in cutting peoples throats. Reporter bergdahl said he a ban donned fellow soldiers to draw attention to problems in his own unit. Suddenly it really starts to sink in that i really did something bad or, not bad, but i really did something serious. Reporter after subsequent capture by the taliban, bergdahl spent five years enduring torture as a prisoner of war. President obama brought him home in 2014 in exchange for the release of five taliban prisoners from guantanamo bay. Bergdahl describes that release in an interview as a brief moment of liberty which later became a flash point on the campaign trail for then candidate trump. This dirty rotten traitor. He gets no jail time. Reporter the military judge in charge of bergdahls case has already disposed of a defense motion that President Trumps comments denied bergdahl the right to a fair trial. Last week, the president stood by those remarks. I think people have heard my comments in the past. Reporter soldiers searching for bergdahl after his de tergs we desertion was wounded by enemy fire. One left paralyzed and unable to speak. Kangaroo courts. Reporter bergdahl may be able to appeal sentencing based on President Trumps past statement. The people who are to the point of saying yeah, just shoot him, you can never convince those people to change their minds. Reporter bergdahl says the taliban who captured him treated him better than the u. S. Army in an interview with the times of london. He also said at least the taliban were honest enough to say, im the guy whos gonna cut your throat. Here, it could be the guy i pass in the corridor whos going to sign the paper that sends me away for life. Demarco, thanks. Former fox news Host Bill Oreilly vows to speak out today against what he says are lying in a New York Times story.

Over the weekend, the Company Issued a statement, saying it was aware of the threat, but informed by mr. Oreilly he had settled the matter personally and the terms were not disclosed to the company. Criticism came from within fox news itself. This is a significant setback for fox. It is no question about it. Its embarrassing.

Reporter the times reports the settlements with oreillys accusers have totaled about 45 million. Oreilly told the paper, i never mistreated anyone. Adding that he resolved matters privately because he wanted to protect his children from the publicity.
