Omarosa is a good person. As the only africanamerican woman in this white house, i have seen things that made me uncomfortable. We have a diverse team in the white house. They said we believe in diversity. If thats the case, where in the hell are the black people . The Trump Administration supports the fccs effort to roll back regulations. A disastrous decision. We have to do everything we can to defeat this thing. This is new day with chris cuomo and alisyn camerota. All right. Welcome to our viewers in the United States and around the world.

Senator marco rubio of florida says hell vote against it unless negotiators make the Child Tax Credit more generous. President trump seems to think he is bluffing. Either way the 11th hour demand threatens the slim majority to get the 1. 5 trillion tax bill passed. The question becomes will President Trump deliver on his promise of a giant tax cut for everyone for christmas . One of the architects of the plan in the house, speaker paul ryan, said is said to be doing a lot of soul searching about his career.

The omarosa saga gets more depar. The departure of President Trumps assistant is raising questions why taxpayers are still paying her salary and she is threatening to tell all about her west wing experience. And the lack of diversity inside the Trump White House. Joe johns is live at the white house. Joe reporter good morning, alisyn. President trump and the administration continue to express hope that the house and senate can get the tax bill to the president s desk by christmas. The final language being crafted and unveiled on capitol hill today. But there is a potential for holdout votes, including senator marco rubio, and some other senators who have been harshly critical of donald trump in the past. Hes been a great guy, very supportive. I think senator rubio will be there. Reporter President Trump confident that senator marco rubio will get on board with the republican tax plan despite his declaration that he will vote against the bill unless negotiators expand the Child Tax Credit, a measure he has been pushing alongside senator mike lee. I remain surprised that there is not more consensus to support the reality that we need to do more to help working people in this country. Rubio possiblying his republican colleagues thursday tweeting tax negotiators didnt have much trouble finding a what to lower the top tax bracket and start the Corporate Tax cut a year ago. 11 59 on the clock and really the pins out to be down. Reporter rubios demand raising additional questions about how republicans will pay for the bill which cannot add more than 1. 5 trillion to the federal deficit of the next 10 years. If republicans want to pass the measure want to pass without the support of democrats. With a narrow majority in the senate, republicans can only afford to lose two votes and still pass the bill along party lines. The impact on the deficit prompting republican senator bob corker to vote against the original bill. Corker telling cnn thursday he has the same concerns hes had in the past but declined to say how he will vote on the updated legislation. Two other wild cards. Senator con mccain and thad cochran who have been away with health issues. The senator is being treated at Walter Reed Hospital for normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy. Sources inside describe the 81yearold war hero increasingly frail. Senator cochran has had a number of Health Problems this year. He had an outpatient procedure to address a nonmelanoma lesion on his nose. But he is doing srwell and available now if needed. The tax push unfolding as one of the biggest proponents paul ryan dismisses rumors that he is leaving congress after the 2018 midterm elections. Youre not quitting any time soon . Im not. Reporter some of his Close Friends saying the speaker has been doing soul searching about his political future. The president did speak to the speak er not too long ago ad made sure the speaker knew very clearly and in no Uncertain Terms that if that was true he was very unhappy with it. Reporter they head out to quantico, virginia to address the graduating class there. He is expected to spend the weekend at camp david. Chris and alisyn. Associate editor of real clear politics ab stoddard and the daily beast john avlon. Senator marco rubio said only 1,100 of the tax credit is refundable. If marco rubio is breaking, that is significant. Is this a deal breaker or a late period negotiation . It is a small enough complaint it seems remediable. Bob corkers is hard tore fix because thats baked in the cake. A. B. , are they going to pass this bill . Yes, they are. Im much more concerned about the Health Problems of senator mccain and cochran. They will find awe way to meet rubio a third of the way and give him a reason to vote yes. He will not be the republican who sinks this package. There is much more peril with people who cant make it physically to the floor to vote. In that case they would have to delay it to a later time. Likely a few days after christmas. Theres a lot of drama around this. But somewhat i know theyre going to make this happen. Senator john mccains health is obviously at issue. People are keeping a close eye and watch on it. It seems as though things are dicey at the moment for when he will be able to return. We should offer our prayers and respect to that family. What a great public servant. Hopefully he will come back and be able to cast a vote is. All of these factors matter. You have to come vote in person. If mccain cant make it. And if comoran, from mississippi, cant make it, those two votes just dont go into the tabulation, right . Yeah. So then you have a wash of needing all the democrats. You cant have any other defections. Then you need pence to come back. Thats why the math is interesting. It is is math at the end of the day. But you need everyone in the chamber. Any senator can hold this up. Do you find it curious at all, a. B. , that nobody has stood up and banged on the table about whose cuts are temporary and whose are permanent . They sweep it aside and say, whoa, whoa, whoa, its about the budgetary rule. In order to get a simple majority, they have to expire at a certain time. It doesnt say for who. The individual tax cuts are temporary. Thats why people get a bite in the behind in the layer stages of this bill. 22, 24, 27. Then you start getting into a situation where people dont get a tax cut. They get awe tax increase. Why is nobody pounding on the table about that . Republicans are really trying to skip of the negative polling theyre seeing on this and forge ahead and get this passed. Getting something accomplished by christmas is way more important right now than what is in it. It has never been an approach from a holistic viewpoint. It has been a game of whackamole. It is a patchwork of things. That is the opinion of tax policy experts who have seen this come together way too quickly on a deadline. So youre going to end up with a bill that, you know, when posed a question about the deadlines my favorite line for republicans is what we heard before, some other congress will definitely extend them. It will be no problem. And the deficit spending that these tax produce are going to be magically remedies this year, 2018 before midterm elections sayeth the republican relationship. Welfare reform that basically President Trump campaigned against in 2016. I remember when george w. Bush said you should balance the budgets on the back of the poor. Wow, you are old. Bob corker has been vocal. He doesnt like this deficit addition. If marco rubio doesnt want to be the person on whom this falls, bob corker could be, right . Yeah. What senators wants to be the one that killed the tax bill. They want it done by christmas. They want to show a win on the board. The focus is on on getting it done, not getting it done right. Pwo corker could say im the last fiscal conservative. This bill doesnt do that. With paul ryan and speculation about him leaving, it makes a little bit of sense, a. B. , just beyond the reporting. Ryan says hes not thinking about leaving. President trump said he doesnt believe that report. The reason it makes sense is because he used to be this guy who fought the good fight. Im going to do the right thing. I dont care if nobody likes it. All of a sudden hes lost his voice. Ive covered paul ryan for years. He used to be considered a radical fiscal hawk. He is the one that designed the road map for basically to balance the budget. It involves steep medicare reform cuts that the party was terrified of embracing but really did. He didnt want to be speaker. I dont think he needs to seven his soul at all. He put in his time. He did the best he could for his conference. This is a mess of a party. It is very divided. It is going to lose seats in the midterm election. Perhaps its majority. And it makes perfect sense to me that he has decided to move on. I dont know that he leaves congress, but it makes sense that he decided to leave the peek issership. Reluctant leader. This come as a surprise to you, john . There certainly is a lot of talk about this. John boehner left. Let alone dealing with President Trump. This tax bill they are about to pass may be a chemical the box accomplishment but it is counter to all of his rhetoric about fiscal discipline. Its got to be tough. If you are a conviction person, to do Something Like this that is what you have argued for years with the kids and the metaphors about your children and what youre doing for them. And now not only do you participate in it, but you say nothing, thats a lot to swallow. Your time at the gavel, your responsibility. No pushing it off on the president. John, a. B. , thank you very much. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson breaking with the president again. This time its on north korea, or at least it seems that way. Its very hard to figure out where the message is consistent and where it isnt. But it does raise a question, is Rex Tillerson on his waugh out . And we asked a group of trump voters whether they regret voting for the president and how theyre feeling today. They had some very interesting answers. Thats ahead on new day. Sumatra reserve. Lets go to sumatra. The coffee here is amazing. Because the volcanic soil is amazing. So we give farmers like win more plants. To grow more delicious coffee. Which helps provide for wins family.

Oh, well, it doesnt matter how you wrap it. Your gift is already wrapped in americas most awarded network. Uh, blanche, it happened again. announcer a gift is only as good as the network its on. If yor crohns symptoms are holding you back, and your Current Treatment hasnt worked well enough, it may be time for a change. Ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohns.

If your uc or crohns treatment isnt working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. Entyvio. Relief and remission within reach. hard exhalation honey . Can we do this tomorrow . grunts of effort can we do this tomorrow . If you have Heart Failure symptoms, your risk of hospitalization could increase, making tomorrow uncertain. But entresto is a medicine that was proven, in the largest Heart Failure study ever, to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading Heart Failure medicine. Women who are pregnant must not take entresto. It can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. Dont take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. If youve had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, dont take entresto. The most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. Tomorrow, tomorrow. When can we do this again, grandpa . Well, how about tomorrow . Ask your doctor about entresto and help make tomorrow possible. All right. In just hours, secretary of state Rex Tillerson is going to address the u. N. Security council on north korea. This comes at an interesting time. Tillerson saying we have to sit down with pyongyang, no preconditions. And the white house now questioning how tillerson is going to be able to do this job long term, saying theyre not on the same page. Lets bring back john avlon and a. B. Stoddard. How many hands are on rexs back pushing him towards the door . There is a divestiture issue that is leaving tillerson in his seat. It is is ativan teenage kwrous for him to leave blond. So he continues to say he is doing just fine. He often describes it as a very difficult job. Hes happy to keep on with this job. He has to stay for financial reasons. Which is why he wanted to stay a year. He didnt want to be booted out december 2017. So when he gets to this year mark in january, i can pretty much im betting my house that tillerson will not be secretary of state in february. That is a short tenure. Like alexander haig. Is that relevant at all to him . I think it is very clear he was left alone to do his job. He didnt have to answer to reporters. He didnt have to answer to a west wing of a Trump White House and Jared Kushner being de facto secretary of state. Hes fed up. Theyre fed up with him. It is a disservice to us. Around the world, every head of government, adversary or ally knows this administration does not speak in one voice. This administration cant lose an opportunity to send Rex Tillerson under the bus. It sends a signal to our allies and adversaries around the world. Theres chaos that comes from the administration. Its not just Rex Tillersons fault. Morale. Key positions remain open. The chaos is coming from the west wing. I would never condescend. How come you are not assuaged by the president s voice saying rex is here. If that does not tell you everything you need to know. He is here now. The question is what is the succession plan. More importantly, we have serious issues on the table. We have russia, which apparently the president doesnt want to deal with except occasionally to play footsie phone calls. We have north korea obviously. This is urgent. This is real. We still dont have adequate representation, for example, in korea. So we have the olympics coming up. The administration has been hawkish. A. B. , this is urgent. Perhaps even more than we worried about with north korea. Lindsey graham had an interesting statement. He says that he gives it a 30 chance that President Trump will order a first strike on north korea. I would say theres a 3 in 10 chance we use the military option. That is a specific mathematical calculation hes using. What does that tell us . Theres been a lot of talk among Foreign Policy voices in this town about the fact that the administration is preparing for a preemptive strike. Thats just not the kind of thing i think were supposed to be talking about. I think senator Lindsey Graham sees there is not an obvious choice to succeed tillerson. He has a lot of expertise in the area. If he thinks hes helping by speaking in a way tillerson isnt to intimidate the north koreans into not testing anymore, there is a 70 chance that President Trump responds with an attack if they test again. This kind of talk coming from a senator i just think is saying this is what i think the administration will do. I think it is really exceptional. I think he means well. I think it might be because it looks like cia director pompeo will not be fulfilling tillersons spot and maybe Lindsey Graham is up for that after all of his time on the golf course with President Trump. Reaffirming the fact this is nonzero. They believe previous administrations have been way too lax. If they can get nukes on submarines that is dangerous for the world and cannot happen. This is going to hit a breaking point. So you have north korea where every military expert tells us that option is not just the first. The second was probably the penultimate. Right. Then you go to a place they dont want to be strong, russia. We have this phone call between trump and putin. What was it about . President putin gave a year end conference call. He will run for third term as an independent. Russian interference was nothing. Right. And praised President Trump about the come, which provoked a thank you phone call. This is not the biggest deal between our two countries. Washington post excellent report, he seems to be an ostrich when it comes to russian interference. He cant resist a thank you for praise. This is the oddest and most troubling about this presidency. He will lose no opportunity to criticize someone on th
