What do we know . Reporter well, anthony, it comes a week after a sting operation. He was inspired by isis and the recent halloween truck attack in new york. According to newly unsealed Court Documents, he told an undercover fbi source that he wanted to inflict casualties through the use of a vehicle and firearms and he believed pier 39 in San Francisco would be an ideal target. Jamison is a 26yearold tow truck driver in me december toe, california. Hes also a former marine, but he was discharged for failing to disclose a history of asthma. He was going to use it to support the cause of isis. He was arrested after the fbi executed a search warrant on his home. They uncovered firearms, explosive materials, and a note taking credit for the planned attack. Paula, you warned that jamison was possibly tipped off about the federal investigation . Thatss right. According to Court Documents on december 18, an fbi agent with an identifiable phone number mistakenly called jamisons phone number and it hung up. He called the number back. It identify the employee by name but it didnt specify he was calling an fbi employee. Later he called to set up a meeting but he was rebuffed. He was later told by jamison thought he couldnt do this and that he had reconsidered. So it appears that he may have been aware that he might be under surveillance and no longer wanted to talk to these sources. All right. Paula reid in washington, thank you. President trump celebrated the first major legislative victory on friday before heading off to florida for the holidays. Mr. Trump signed the 1. 5 trillion tax overhaul bill into law three days before the Christmas Day deadline that republicans set for themselves. It was his 92nd bill signed into law during his first year in office. The president is spending the holidays at his south florida resort and is hoping to carry this momentum into his second year in office. Chip reid is in palm beach. Good morning. Reporter good morning. The president rushed signing the bill without a major ceremony because he wanted to keep his promise to sign it before christmas. He also signed a bill to keep the government open for just one month which guarantees a major battle over spending in january. Its not fancy, but its the oval office. Reporter at the last minute President Trump moved up signing the tax bill originally set for january. I watched the news and they were all saying will he keep his promise and will he sign it by christmas. I called downstairs and i said get it ready, we have to sign it now. Reporter signing a hard fought bill into law and assuring most americans they will begin to see their taxes go down starting in february. Most americans will see their tax drop temporarily, but the biggest benefits will go to corporations whose cuts are permanent. The new law also includes a repeal of obamacares individual mandate. President trump tweeted the most hated part of obamacare is the individual mandate which is being terminated under our just signed tax cut bill. A sentiment echoed by majority leader mitch mcconnell. Id love to see other changes and were moving toward bills to pass. Next on the agenda, infrastructure. Mr. Trump believes it can get done with bipartisan support. Were going to have tremendous democrat support on infrastructu infrastructure, you know. I could have started with infrastructure. I wanted to save the easy one for down the road. Well be having it done pretty quickly. Reporter but the president cannot simply pass an infrastructure bill without democratic support and they want to pass a bill on immigration first. The president will meet with congressional leaders in january when he returns to washington to discuss legislative priorities for 2018. Anthony . Chip reid with the president in florida. Thank you, chip. Weve got a lot to talk about this morning. Were joined by a staff writer at slate. Good morning. Good morning. Lets talk about the president s biggest legislative victory. How critical do you think it was to get it done before the end of the year . It was a big deal not just for the Trump Administration but for the Republican Party in general. This is going to be the third or fourth biggest tax cut in history. If youre a fan, you feel pretty good. Obviously the administration has had a lot of fits and starts with the agenda. This is really their first unqualified success, and it was very important for them, i think, to show they were able to succeed legislatively on something. Polls show there are a lot of americans not happy with this. Does this have the potential to come back and bite them . I think its already biting them. 47 of americans in plurality say they approve. At best americans are pretty evenly split on this. Its worse for republicans. There are a lot of americans who think their taxes are going to go up. Do you think theyll see a shift though . It definitely might. Youre not going to see the full effect of this on the american taxpayer until they file their taxes in 2019. Theyre going to have to trust the republicans. When they poll the parties who trust on taxes, democrats have taken the lead on that issue for the first time in a couple of years. What does that mean for the midterms, because thats going to be before they see the full effect. Yeah. I think basically we already know what democratic messaging is going to be. We saw nancy pelosi said this attempted to create a permanent plutocracy. Its going to be a big issue if democrats succeed in making it one and keeping a spotlight on it. Obviously the midterms are about an eternity from now. But you could be hardpressed to craft a better bill than this one. The skew of the benefits toward the wealthiest, its not something to explain in a populous political climate. Theyre going to have a hard time. We heard chip reid talking about the gops interest and the president s tr in particular in looking at infrastructure and spending. He said hes not likely to get democratic votes, which he needs. Absolutely. Are we leading up to a year in midterms where theres going to be no bipartisan corporation whatsoever . There are still important issues where we could see action. With the stopgap funding bill that was just passed this week, they punted on c. H. I. P. , the Childrens HealthInsurance Program and also daca. They both have a fair amount of bipartisan support in actually achieving some sort of solution. Theyre already negotiatinnegot. As far as c. H. I. P. Goes, theyre basically as an impasse how to fund things, but these are basically issues where theres time pressure to come to some kind of solution. 122 people loose their se their status a day. With c. H. I. P. , i mean theyre afraid, you know, as many as 2 Million People could lose funding. January, thankfully, theyre able to pass a stopgap funding measure until mafrmt these are two issues where theres a lot of pressure. I think thats a thing that can draw democrats and republicans closer. Thank you very much for the latest.
