Been waiting for now for weeks. There will be no changes. I dont know about me personally, but for the country as a whole its going to be a good thing. The president s lawyers are planning to meet with Robbert Mueller and his team. When you look at whats gone on with the fbi and with the justice department, people are very, very angry. He is way, way beyond the pail in his criticism of the fbi and the doj. Drum beat of war against north korea growing louder by the day. The United States will use all necessary measures to defend itself. The United States must protect itself if theres an immediate threat against our security. This is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christy paul. The president could be getting closer and closer to his first major legislative win, a final deal on tax reform is on the table and House Speaker paul ryan says that the first big vote could happen on tuesday. The final details of the bill released last night so lets get you up to date here. Despite a pledge to reduce the number of personal income tax brackets the deal does keep all seven. The plan lowers tax rates for most of those brackets. And then there are a few provisions here. The biggest tax cuts goes to businesses. The Corporate Tax rate drops from 35 to 21 . You remember the president wanted 20, but les okay with 21. The bill also calls for a 2,000 Child Tax Credit which flipped rubio from a no to a yes. Individuals will also be able to deduct up to 10,000 in state and local taxes. And the estate Tax Exemption would be doubled. Obamacare does take a hit under this plan. It removed a key individual mandate to help finance the bill. Republicans cannot afford to lose more than two votes to get this to the president s desk in the senate at least. Abby phillip joins us now. The president called senator rubio on the bill after senator rubio became a yes. Do we know what they talked about. Reporter good morning. Well, the president picked up the phone and made a call to rubio yesterday after rubio indicated in some tweets that he was likely to support the bill. The call was to confirm that that was a firm yes and to thank him for his support. Remember rubio has been working with the white house on this ivanka trump in particular has taken an interest in this Child Tax Credit issue and hes not been estrained from the process when i talked to white house aides. They expected him to come on board as lodge as he got a little bit more money for that. The white house is trying to button this one up max making sure they dont have any surprises. Lets talk about the degree of confidence from the white house and the health of two senators. Senator mccain obviously of arizona struggling with some health concerns. Will they be back to cast those affirmative votes . Do we know . Reporter well, were not entirely sure. I think cochran whos been dealing with Ongoing Health issues, his staff expects he will definitely be there next week although with health it can always change. John mccain is the wild card he here. Hes been dealing with the Cancer Battle and his health has not been particularly good as hes dealing with side effects of chemotherapy treatment. And an indication of how concerned some republicans are, the president called into the hospital and talked to his wife cindy mccain. The president tried to get through to john mccain but for whatever reason wasnt able to and the white house indicating that that in that conversation the president , you know, wished him and his family well. We also saw the press secretary tweeting words of support overnight. So there is some concern that john mccains health is not what anyone would like it to be. That being said, even if both of those senators are not in the Senate Next Week theres still confidence that they will get this passed. Thank you. Our political analyst and white house sporter for the wall street journal and the political reporter for the daily beast. I want to start with you michael. Theyre watching this and theyre thinking what does this mean to me . On the surface, on what we know, whats the biggest takeaway . Well, it depends on who you are really. As you mentioned earlier theres some really big cuts here for corporations and theres some really great tax cuts for Business Owners up to a certain income level. And individuals will see a cut initially here across the board. The problem with some of those individual cuts though is that they phase out overtime and its up to future lawmakers, future versions of congress to decide whether to extend those breaks. And you know, finally there are what it doesnt really mean anything yet. We still have a few days to go. You mentioned some of the folk to watch here. It does look like they have the votes to pass this bill, but you know, they thought they had the votes to pass the Health Care Bill until the moment when john mccain walked on to the senate floor and gave a thumbs down. It does look like they have a bit more of a cushion on this one, but you know, with congress, lets lets just wait to see until they actually get the votes and get this to the president s desk. This was promised as something that would be simplified. Do you see a simplified version of taxes for the American People here . Well, its simplified in the sense that the white house was trying to get or republicans in congress were trying to get the actual tax reform bill. Unfortunately for the Trump Administration this is not the ambitious wide sweeping tax reform bill they wanted. This is at best a tax cut bill, something more of the run of the mill republican. To go back to whats in the bill, i think this is a bit of a mix of promises trying to be kept and also promises being broken in term of candidate donald trump. On the campaign trail the current president promised repeatedly that people like him, fabulously rich americans would not be given a major giveaway. Given the nuances on the bill, thats thats a bad joke at best. If anything, Something Like the trump organization, which is considered a pass through, benefits very, very, very much from this. But in terms of trying to keep promises, in the bill, there is the nuking of the obamacare individual mandate even though the Republican Congress and the president have failed to repeal obamacare. This is something they can give as a sock to their base saying, look at all the work weve done to undo the quote unquote damage that has been done by the Affordable Care act. I want to pi votd here to something that happened overnight that i think is confusing to people and its a bit perplexing but the Trump Administration announced that they are prohibiting certain words to be used in reports that will go for budget, specifically from the cdc. Vulnerable, entitlement, diversity. Transgender, fetus, evidence based, science based. We look at some of those and we understand the political power play that might be ingrained in this, but vulnerable, entitlement, what does that say to you . Well, that says to me that that, you know, these this is a president who doesnt really put that much stock into the white house thinks these words are being overused and overplayed and overdefined. You can chock this up to a president who promised to be politically incorrect coming into office and you know, he so some of these words and definitions arent going to hold the same sort of sway and stock in this white house as they have in in white house past, and were seeing that again with this list here. Yeah. The the people who were in the meeting, its reported in the washington post, a long time cdc analyst that they talked to, said the reaction of people who when they got this news, the reaction was incredulous. He said it was very much, are you serious . Are you kidding . Have you ever seen anything like this and do you suspect, is there room for the cdc to push back on this . Well, its a little bit unclear at this moment and this certainly does stick out as something not necessarily business as usual. But if we all remember that President Trump campaigned on being allegedly the most lgbt friendly republican, at least running for president in recent history and just to see words like diversity and transgender on the so called banned list of words seems like a reversal of promises in terms of standing up for minority and lgbq community that seems all too normal with this administration now. If i could jump in here, i would say that maybe a parallel here is rick scott, the republican in florida who is close with trump and one of his early endorsers, a lot of similarities between the two as well. Both outsiders. Both had no political experience at all in elected office or otherwise before being elected to the current office. Rick scott in florida a few yeari years ago banned the references to Climate Change and this seems to be like it seems to be a pretty close parallel to that dicta back then. And the Trump Administration has been going through motions as well. We appreciate you both. Thank you. New prop gaganda calling th president frightened. Were live from the peninsula next.

An aggressive warning from north korea to President Trump. The regime also called President Trump an old lunatic who is frightened. Lets go down to ivan watson. The comments after tiller sovereign and secretary of state mattis. Thats true and we have to recall this is somewhat historic that you had a u. S. Secretary of state and a Senior North Korean diplomat sitting in the United Nations security counsel. So thats kind of a step forward, we havent seen with the Trump Administration and north korea. That said, they both stuck to their guns. They both pointed the finger at each other for the tension on the korean peninsula. Take a listen to an excerpt of what the north Korean Ambassador had to say. The ambassadors statements were somewhat more moderate, you could say, than the stuff were seeing in the north korean state media today where one report describes President Trump as a quote, old lunatic and goes on to say, quote, war maniacs of the u. S. Are urging congress to discuss the issue of preemptive attack. Only to make a war against the dprk an established fact. In his comments, secretary of state tillerson, well, he said he was open to sitting down and talking with the north koreans, but without any without any preconditions to those possible negotiations. And recall, north korea has fired at least 20 missiles this year alone and conducted a sixth nuclear test, all of those are banned according to multiple United NationsSecurity Council resolutions. Thank you so much. Lets stay with north korea and a pretty dangerous place to be there and its the number two spot, right under kim jongun. There are strong indications that kim has moved against a man who occupied that number two position and its likely that everyone else inside kims circle is looking over their shoulders. Heres why. Reporter intelligence officials from washington to seoul are paying closer attention to kim jonguns sinninner circle. He could be being sent to detention. He could be retired or he could be executed. All of these things are on the table. Reporter he also could be undergoing so called reeducation, time in a prison or labor camp to brainwashing him to towing the party line. Would hwang have been purged . A south korean lawmaker told cnn tfrs for quote, impure behavior. He directed north koreas general Political Bureau which makes sure every soldier in north koreas massive army is properly indoctrinated. A north korean soldier made a dramatic defection across the border in mid november, but analysts say he could still be taking the fall for that. It was an embarrassment and someone had to pay for it and it may have been hwang. He was involved in a power struggle with a man who has close ties to kim jonguns family. Experts say its likely a revenge play for a move hwang made three years ago. We know he replaced him as the head of the general Political Bureau in 2014. If you look at the formal leadership lineups of the two of the north korean leadership, the two have interchanged places on a number of occasions which would suggest a possible rivalry. Reporter analysts believe its also possible that hwang simply amassed too much power which threatened kim jongun. A u. S. Intelligence official tells cnn kim demands loyalty and has a history of punishing officials who he views at gaining prestige at his expense. He also loves to pit his top aides against each other. Its kind of like a lion tamer in a cage with lions. They can take him out, but if you have each of the lions standing on a very small platform theyre more focused on staying on that platform rather than lashing out. Reporter the only person seemed safe inside the regime, is his younger sister. Kim did execute other members of his family, his uncle, his half brother but shes a direct blood relative who kim jongun trusts completely. One analysts says shes bunker safe. The final version of the gop tax plan has been revealed. Next, will it pass . Will you see a difference in your paycheck . And if it does pass, could it reset the narrative for the gop and move them beyond any damage done by roy moore, say, in alabama. I tried hard to quit smoking.

This is where the action is happening, at least starting tuesday. The gop tax plan will go to the floor on tuesday. Then well see when the senate hits it. Weve seen the back and forth, right, the negotiations, the duelling bills in both houses of congress, big votes coming on tuesday. Its going to head to the white house after that if it passes both chambers. Theyre hoping it will be at the president s desk by wednesday which means he could be days away from delivering that promise of tax cuts before christmas. This is not a done deal yet we have to point out though. The white house is not sitting on the sidelines though, they are active in this. If this bill passes, will it be a big win for the white house . Will it be a big injection of new life and energy for the gop and move them beyond a lot of the damage that we saw this week or the last couple of weeks by the candidacy of roy moore . Joining us now to talk, cochair of women vote trump and michael singleton, good morning to both of you. Good morning.
