You why did mccain vote against him . This doesnt do what republicans planned to do which is repeal and replace obamacare. Neil everyone acknowledged that. The republicans in this bill were hoping that it would pass but that it wouldnt become law. They wanted to use the vehicle to get to a conference. Its difficult to explain to people. The other thing neil you could change it. Exactly. Difficult to explain to people. The idea that trump and republicans sold substance to this bill, low Approval Rating, cbo scores it would take people off insurance. Republicans didnt solidify the argument by saying this this is what we would give to people. John mccain, of course, is known for being kind of the maverick in congress. Its very telling though, he was the standard bearer of the Republican Party, the party that has campaigned or years. Neil being the admiral who would be the leading the charge. If youre looking at the people who voted against for it, they are not up for election. Youve done enough of that in the hallway, neil. Neil keep it clean. I think what the problem is there are too many republicans in congress that vote Big Government, john mccain, mukowski, collins and theres a list of them and we have their score cards, they score an f based on how they vote. Big government way too much. Neil you know, the president got tony sorry sorprano, you got a lot of money unbeknownst to the secretary of the president , her committee oversees the interior of department, that backfired, what do you think . Didnt work, right. He leaned on her quite a bit but that did not sway her vote whatsoever. That goes to the fact that too many republicans who are voting Big Government specially some that are coming from conservative states which is unexplainable, inexcusable. Neil you wonder too if the vote that is they risk or the people they tick off in reworking about are not only say republicans, they dont only have fallout politically but afraid of their own shadow, what does that portray for tax debate . Thats very complicated. Theres a reason why tax reform hasnt been done in 30 years. Its very difficult. There are going to be pieces, though, tax changes, tax cuts that theyll be talking about but moving from this debate to that is very complicated. Also, i mean, think of the senate, its a very different body, of course from the house. Senators that you just mentioned represent kind of different kinds of state, purple states, also rural aspects here, some different kinds of state. Its very difficult to get this kind of conference on board with a proposal, but the house interestingly today is saying, we did our job, we are moving onto tax reform. The senate can figure out obamacare. Neil theres definitely bad blood there. You brought this up in the past, yeah, republicans have a majority but the thinnest of majority. They dont have wiggle room that democrats had so they could afford to lose senators, they could afford to lose 40 democrats in the first vote. So you dont have the flexibility, that is republicans that democrats had, so what does that mean in the tax debate where you cant afford to lose that many either and you had some republicans very leery of giving the rich a pass or getting the raise as well, but it could portend trouble . Are you a fan of gladiator . I relate to that guy. You have the white house, senate, they won with the red meat, repeal and replace obamacare, they cant get together on repealing and replacing. They are losing the crowds, neil. 2018 reelections are coming up faster than we can see and people are going to be leery and people are going to be frustrated because republicans have not advanced the agenda like they promised they would. Neil i dont know whether i want to bring my friend jonathan who follows the markets closely. Markets are not the same as the gallup poll but they are betting with the their money that things arent so bad. I expect this morning, jonathan, the futures tanking, they werent, the market would be in free fall, isnt, why is that the case if this shows, you know, paralized. Why are they doing their own thing . They are given up on repealing obamacare and replacing it with a more free market system discussed way back in 20082009 and continue to see what we have seen obamacare, some companies doing very well. But the broad Health Care Sector has underperformed the market and i think thats because people once again are staying away, just like obamacare, why invest in the system where you dont know where the rules are going to be. Neil if you buy this is something, jonathan, i understand consensus can be wrong that the markets have been bid up in part because the taxes associated with obamacare going away or most of them doesnt look like thats the case or tax reform coming at best, that looks delayed to me, i could be very wrong. Why did do they continue to climb the wall of worry. I think the market is looking for a reason to selloff, maybe not the health care failure. Maybe its amazon just leading the way downward today but we are up for four weeks running now. I do think that the market on the upside is running out of gas and it could be a political event that prompts the selloff that many have been waiting for. Neil i was looking, caitlin, with the news we got on north Korean Missile once again that that would rattle these guys, it didnt. So im wonder being the markets are following their own beat and maybe and if we are trying to get a read in the market of confidence of techs to go through, maybe we are missing it. Or they have been following the lack of congress for years and years. It was interesting to me that the big initiatives would get through just considering the political environment and having covered congress for a while, these things are very difficult. So whether that was kind of baked into the thinking about this. Theres a lot of support in congress for some kind of tax reform, but republicans are on different sides of the debate. We saw that this week with pulling the border tax out of the equation. Neil how do you feel when you talk to a lot of the colleagues, associates on the steve bannon idea of hiking taxes on the 5 million and over crowd, 44 . I know that appeals to many of the president s base, what are people saying . High taxes is bad. Not good well, listen, the more you tax the less you give of. Individuals who are on the wealthy end, perhaps they will donate less to whatever causes they support. If youre a wealthy individual, youre a Small Business owner, what about growing your company and hiring more people, you are going to be prohibited from doing that as well. And so i think higher taxes really is not in the best interest of our country and, again, these guys and gals ran on cutting taxes and repealing and replacing obamacare. Im thinking turnout would be a big issue coming up in 2018. Foil neil jonathan. My mind is blown by what you are hearing by many in the administration. Tax the rich and not cut spending, that was exactly the obamacare message and we talk about amazon, the success of amazon, amazon was only possible by initial rich investors who chipped in the first Million Dollars to get the company started. Neil youre right. Its not that you decrees charity contributions, you decrees the Wealth Creation that makes amazon possible. Neil i dont know if republicans know who they are. Every party has its camp. So i know this is historic in the case, but with republicans its jawdropping. It gets in the way of them getting anything done. Well, interestingly the standard bearer of the Republican Party is donald trump by virtue of him being president. Hes not a traditional republican. Campaigned against the Republican Party in many respects and campaigned on their way of doing things and not at the you saw this throughout Health Care Debate that he was flexible in those terms. Neil i dont know if he was flexible as if he wasnt in the weeds or maybe didnt want to be in the weeds. Right. There are some problems with that. Theres concerns that the president could have sold the merits of the Health Care Bill, traveling around and he did travel and did do a campaign kind of campaignstyle rallies but didnt talk about health care, he always talked about it in political terms, we have to pass this because we have to move on with the agenda and people didnt really know, he has a 48 Approval Rating but the Health Care Bill was in the teens, there was room for it to become more popular, i think, if he could have been out there a little bit more but theres the huge divide in the Republican Party that has been going on for a while now and the Term Campaign yeah. Neil rudies appointed when you see this . Very disappointed. I think hes getting different information from all ends of the spectrum. He needs to go back to the basics. Neil he needs to stop stepping on his own message. Experience in building buildings, if you have an engineer telling you one thing and other one telling you Something Else, youre not going to move forward. He needs to go back to basic and maybe clean house, i dont know. Neil that seems to be in the works. Thank you all and in the meantime, speaking of the president , hes tweeted on this to get simple majority for legislation, of course, that was the case to this health care thing. Hes going be making first public remarks talking about gangs in the United States as part of the push on ilLegal Immigration in long island new york, but he might be taking questions from people there or make volunteered comments himself on this republican debacle here and if and when he does, of the, we are there. Meanwhile, colorful language is nothing new if you ever watch fox but Anthony Scaramucci has now put the new spin on it here, and im just worried on what it means to hiring italian americans in the future. A big concern of mine. The fallout from this next neil north korea did indeed launch a Ballistic Missile. We are getting more details right now. The fox news pentagon, lucas thompson. Neil, u. S. Officials at the pentagon can confirm that north korea did, in fact, launch a Ballistic Missile at roughly 15 45 a. M. Eastern time. A rare nighttime launch because north koreas time zone is 12 and a half hours ahead. Right now south korean media reporting that south koreas president is going to convene a rare 1 00 a. M. Saturday emergency meeting of his National Security council, south korean government base just like the u. S. Government. Neil, this is the second time since july 4th that north korea has launched an excuse me, second time since north korea launched Ballistic Missile. North korea for the first time launched intercontinental missile, 7 times higher than the orbit of nasas International Space station. Local japanese media reported that this vehicle with the latest launch splashed down in the sea of japan near japanese territory. Neil it is wild. In the meantime Something Else thats wild thats getting the attention, New York Post cover says it all if we havent seen, we have a zoom of it, man, oman, this is one for the ages. If this doesnt win the pulitzer, i dont know what, frankly. Anthony scaramucci uncensored tirade against key players in the administration. Charlie gasparino, like father omaly compare today this guy. [laughter] neil hello, father, how are you . Play the power of reagan compels you. Neil why did he do this . He went on a tirade with a new yorker magazine . Anthony is a smart guy, harvard law grad. The one negative i will say hes volatile and careless when it comes to stuff like this. Hes the exact wrong person to put in this job. I mean, hes good i can see him being treasury secretary before director of communications. Neil chief of staff and i think the president likes what hes doing. The president probablery likes what hes doing but what hes doing is bad for the country. I dont think if he became chief of staff people would work for him. Neil the conducts scares people, sort of like you. No, im a levelheaded guy. I can never say i can do my own neil when he first had that press session, remember, he was great. He was smooth. I didnt think so. Neil he talked too long and not much, but then this veers off, and hes a volatile guy. The other thing he does things he says things that are insane sometimes and if you go back and look at a new York Magazine article, this happens when he gets when he gets full power, when you can see that hes rising to the occasion, hes getting more power. When he was almost inside the Trump White House around the time of the white house inauguration, director of public Liaisons Office neil he ends up getting something far better. Right in his wheel house too. Neil this is going to lead presumably, if youre Reince Priebus, arent your days everybody is saying hes gone. I would just say this that if you think that sean spicer left quiet, you know sean spicer took a couple of shots when he left, priebus has more stuff on these guys, the 10 milliondollar book deal is waiting for him, being unpublicly humiliated by Anthony Scaramucci. Neil regardless of what what you think its nice to do, we are not talking about tax cuts, are we . Charlie i think thats the problem. This is a side show and, again, why is the director of communications generally somebody who you dont hear much about . Hes behind the scenes and crafting message. Hes not doing what anthony is doing causing havoc. Let me be real clear, what started the whole thing, insane tirade that no one has ever seen before. It started because Anthony Scaramucci thought there was a leak about who he was going to fire in the white house staff among the old the old Priebus Spicer guys in the press office. I can tell you that nobody in that office, i know for a fact how the story got out there because i actually had it too. It wasnt given by a leak, it was given by a political consultan who was surmising who might get fired in that environment. Neil he clearly has the power to fire, though, it seems this influence extends way beyond the communications office. Maybe it does, maybe it doesnt. Neil that alone is telling you . What he did hurt him inside the white house. Neil you dont like the thought that President Trump likes it . Theres not one person maybe Kellyanne Conway likes it. I cant iimagine, he called up reporters, give me the names of the people who leaked. He was trying to extort the name. Neil he wanted to know about how he knew hes putting who cares about this dinner, bill shine, kimberly. Kim is a fly. In the spirit of time. I was going to use that word. Neil do you think that this this is the week when we had the story, disappointment of the Health Care Vote taxes. Neil republican senators rallying around session and dont even think getting rid on him. Lisa murkowski. She voted against the thing. John mccain couldnt care try threatening john mccain, good luck on that. Neil people are not really afraid of him and the president is going to be in long island where hes addressing the influence of groups and groups like ms13 on his way there and will return to washington we are told for the weekend but that this is a president who who might not be intimidated, intimidating republicans anymore. Charlie the stock market is not reacting, gdp is marginal. Thats a decent neil they still like his economic agenda. Hes net better for investors than Hillary Clinton. Neil a hike on taxes. I heard its not happening. Right. Kevin brady talking neil its not happening. We are in a mode where this is kind of like interesting and supposedly we do have a crisis, suppose there is an issue with banks, suppose theres a north korean attack somewhere, suppose theres something bad and you have this type of disarray in the white house. Thats where it gets, say what you want for obama or gw. Bush. Neil that is nicky nikki haley getting on board. Charlie when the financial crisis happening, they could rely on ben bernanke, advisers to handle the situation and contain it. He handed it off to obama who i dont like his economic policies but he had adults in the room neil great cabinet. When you got this sort of stuff and you got Communications Director acting like al capone, you have a problem. Neil i heard you guys if you wanting to to the New York Post we have it on our own. Very entertaining. The New York Post denied pulitzer for cover, i dont have much faith. Did you read the raw transcript . Neil i have. [laughter] neil President Trump about to part to long island. Stick around, you are watching the most Important Network for news that matters to you, you are watching fox business. Potsch you each drive a ford pickup, right . in unison russ, leland, gary yes.
