Arlington sex airy in less than an hour. We will take you there live. And the war of words between democrats keeps mounting as former dnc chair Donna Brazile keeps exposing how the fix was in for Hillary Clinton. Well now one of the former candidates is speaking out right here, and House Republicans preparing to vote on a crucial tax cut bill next week, but its the senate bill and something Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell just said and has a lot of folks very concerned right now, but first to President Trump. He just told reporters hes not going to argue with russian president Vladimir Putin over election medaling and said he said, having a relationship with russia would be a great thing not a good thing, especially as it relates to north korea. To retired four Star Army General jack keane for details on all of this jack good to see you thank you for being here. Happy veterans day and thank you for your years and decades of service in the military protecting us all. Thank you. Thanks, david and best to our veterans out there. David thank you so much so lets get to the president s comments on russia. It boggles the minds to think of how many president s have said they trusted Vladimir Putin going back to george w. Bush, of course president obama, wisper ring little favors to Vladimir Putin in his ears and others ears and now, President Trump. What do you make of all of this . Well i dont make too much of it. I mean, here is what i think where the president is coming from. He believes that if he has a relationship, a personal relationship with another head of state, that that gives him some leverage to work tough issues. It doesnt mean that hes making any accommodations to that leader on management policy. I know for a fact that that team that surrounds him on National Security to a person is very clear eyed about russia. They know that russia sees the United States as their strategic enemy. Russia is an an adversary of the United States. Theyre tram alling on our allies interest in europe. Theyre trampling on our interest in the middle east and they are aligned politically with iran and helping north korea as we come to find out now , so yes, we have to go in and talk to the russians to be sure. We dont ignore them, but we go in there on firm ground knowing who were dealing with and personally, putin is a thug, and im confident the president knows that. David you bring up a terrific point general, not surprising that you do but the point being that the president is surrounded by advisors, particularly since his experience in International Affairs is somewhat limited his business experience which is enormous but it doesnt necessarily carry the same sort of weight as public policy, but the people that surrounded president obama, i would say a lot of them were quite naive about russia and its intentions in the world and that played out in world awares as we saw particularly in the mid east and developments of isis et cetera. This president has a group of advisors who have been dealing with the russians and political and military affairs for decades and they have a very clear understanding of what it is their interests are. Yeah, i agree with that but i also think that the president trusts his own capabilities. His lane is negotiation. Hes done that all of his life. I know also for a fact that when he entered initial conversations with heads of state, the team around him was surprised at how relaxed he was how confident he was in dealing with issues he didnt deal with before, how he deals with people in inter personal relationships. He has established a very Good Relationship with president xi of china of the president of japan, with the vietnamese as well. Now that doesnt mean theyre going to do our bidding for us but it is a beginning to maybe leverage some very tough policy issues, and i think thats all it is. David lets talk about one of the toughest issues and one of the main reasons hes in asia now dealing with north korea. He says about russia having a relationship with russia would be a great thing not a good thing and it would be a great thing especially as it relates to north korea. How specifically could russia help us calm down the situation with north korea . Well, its come to light theres a possibility that russia is providing back door assistance to north korea while the chinese and other countries are cutting off all assistance to north korea. After all the u. N. Resolution that russia supported was that all the nations would stop doing business with north korea and most countries of the world have done that so the neuce is getting tighter and if russia is back dooring that and ignoring that and the only reason it would be doing it is because its not in the United States interest. Russia usually takes an opposing view of anything the United States is doing in the world. They clearly see us as a strategic enemy. Would it be good to sit down and talk to the russians about that and maybe put some evidence in front of them of why we have come to that conclusion . Thats stuff that we should be doing. David ill tell you evidence. The evidence of three carrier groups off the coast of korea right now despite the president s calming remarks that sends a clear message to north korea and to china and russia that the u. S. Is not fooling around getting tough with north korea. Theres no doubt about it. That has all to do with the president being in the far east and reassuring our allies that American Leadership is back in the endo pacific. This is very critical because our allies have been pushed around by china for a long time now and this is sending a message not just about north korea but about American Leadership that we are exercising Global Leadership and we do not intend for the chinese to trample on our interest in the pacific and of course were sending loud messages about the trade imbalance thats been taking place in the endo pacific for years and the president wants to bring that to a halt. David general im getting a wrap but have we ever seen three carrier groups in that concentrated form in the seas before . Well the last time was over 10 years ago and so yes, its highly unprecedented to be sure it is all about sending a message. Yeah weve got an exercise going on but the real thing is this is what we do. You have arrows in your quiver to reinforce the diplomats. This is military strength reinforcing policy development and that is something we gave up for the last eight years. David general jack keane, thank you very much and again happy veterans day. Thank you david. David to amy kellogg now following the president in vietnam. Amy . Amy hi, david. Well its not entirely clear why a proper between the two leaders did not take place. It could be quite frankly that russia is too toxic in the United States and it wouldnt have looked great for trump but apparently president putin did want that meeting and he told reporters this afternoon it was down to scheduling issues and protocol issues but he added that whoever on his team was not able to work through those issues would be punished; however i must add he did have a glenn in his eye when he said that now david, the two leaders did meet a few times on the sidelines of the Asia Pacific Economic cooperation summit and their offices did issue a joint statement on syria with agreed points including the need for a nonmilitary solution there. Trump told reporters today, he did ask putin at the summit about allegations russia medal led in the 2016 election and trump said putin again denied having done anything. Trump said, look, i cant stand there and argue with them. I would rather have him get out of syria. To be honest with you i would rather him get to work with him on ukraine rather than standing and arguing about whether or not , because the whole thing was setup dye the democrats. Trump said repeatedly today he believes the lack of a relationship with russia is hurting his and chinas efforts to get north korea to give up its Nuclear Weapons program. Here by the way was what the north korean state broadcaster had to say about trumps rhetoric on this trip. Wreckless remarks by an old luna tic like trump will never scare us or stop our advance on the contrary, all this makes us more sure that our choice to promote economic construction while building up our Nuclear Force is all the more riotous. Tomorrow we hill have a full day of meetings with the vietnamese president Prime Minister and general secretary of the communist party as one of the five remaining communist countries in the world. David . David although its a big fan of donald trump what i hear amy kellogg thank you very much reporting live from vietnam. Well, former dnc chair Donna Brazile saying for Hillary Clinton, the fix was in. Well now, one of those former democratic president ial candidates is speaking out, here and only here and to sell tax cuts does this guy need to sound more like these guys . Remember when christmas was magical . Lets get back there. Celebrate the arrival of santa at Bass Pro Shops this saturday and the unveiling of santas wonderland. Time passes. Hold onto christmas. David lots of questions this morning after senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell is now talking about tax hikes to Fox Business Networks lauren simonetti, wow this thing is getting kind of weird. Well some people will see their taxes go up. Im going to explain everything right now, david. The Senate Majority leader acknowledging yeah, some families are going to see their taxes go up. Thats actually the headline of a New York Times article that the Senate Tax Bill revealed this week would increase taxes on millions of middle class families while benefiting high income households. Yeah, some people are going to see their taxes go up at all income levels but its not until david the very last paragraph of that long article that the times notes the senate plan would realize, get this, 30 billion in lower taxes next year, and that the majority of families will see a 1300 savings in 2018 got it . Okay . So this is how the Senate Republicans bill is different than the house version of tax reform. Lets start with businesses. Both cut the Corporate Tax rate to 20 but the senate doesnt slash it until 2019. Thats why it lowers the cost of the bill but it potentially delays Companies Making key decisions. As for individuals, the Senate Bill Fails to simplify the number of brackets so you still have seven but it lowers the rates for them including that top personal tax rate that would come down to 38. 5 hopefully giving some upper middle class families relief and the top rate kicks in at 500,000 in income. Although, those in high tax states new york, new jersey, california, illinois, no longer able to deduct their state and local taxes under the senate plan. Under the house plan they would deduct up to 10,000 in property tax either way, this part will be a tough sell in both chambers the white house says focus on the Main Objective here. Helping businesses helping the middle class families and they stress whats similar in the bills, nearly doubling the standard deduction, increasing child tax credits, and repealing the amt. Critics questioning quickly if this senate bill really does help the middle class. If we go back to the times analysis, they say a quarter, a quarter of middle income families would see their tax bill go up an average thousand dollars next year, but many other middle income families would see significant savings so theres a lot to get done and not a lot of time to do it. Here is your timeline. The house votes on their bill next week, a senate vote could happen the week after thanksgiving, with the plan to get it on the president s desk david this year. David good for you for really going through raking through that New York Times report because so often the times headline is very different from what you actually see. Lauren i had to go to the last paragraph and the article was long. David its extraordinary and by the way senator told me yesterday he says that 500,000 on the top rate actually is a mill dollars for couples so 500,000 for singles a million for couples so it is pretty high but again, seven brackets thats too much. Meanwhile, wall street giving the senates plan a chilly reception the dow and s p 500 snapping an eight week winning streak joining me now, and lauren to discuss are the stars of bulls bears, we got john layfield, gary b. Smith and ned ryan gentlemen good to see you. John, first of all, we should say the New York Times doesnt like tax cuts they never have and so theyre bias against it so i wouldnt hang everything on a New York Times article however we have a watered down tax cut. Its much less than the house was and the house plan was much less than what donald trump wanted, so we go from watered down to watered down to watered down and we see the market going down this week as well. Is there a coincidence . No, not really. I think the market has such a good run right now. I think the market is waiting on a Corporate Tax front. I think they understand the republicans. Theyre the dogs, they never planned on having new tax cuts never planned on doing repeal and replace obamacare. They could brag about it all they want on the campaign trail and all of a sudden they got the cart and dont know what to do with it. What the market is dealing with these individual tax cuts are politically pretty much un palletable, the repatriation of money which completely changes Companies Like ge and apples Balance Sheet if that happens thats what the market is waiting on. David frankly gary there was one bit of news in particular that spooked the markets and that was when we heard about the delay in the Corporate Tax cuts, then the markets you could see the markets come down markedly when that happened. If you delay the Corporate Tax cuts you delay Business Decisions and that could delay the economy right . Gary absolutely david look im of the opinion that once again the republicans have critterred away an easy sell. I was just, you already know the Mainstream Media is going to be against this. I was just doing a quick span of the headlines this morning. Vanity fair, too unhinged to pass, time morally bankrupt, even forbes came out and said that its going to slam Small Businesses. Okay, we acknowledge that the Mainstream Media is against it. Here is the problem. The reason trump won the election was that he was the greatest salesman for trump in the world. Whats he doing now . Hes over in china. Hes over in asia. Hes not selling this, and even if he tried to sell it, hes not a detailed person. As lauren pointed out this thing now is such a myriad of this and that or this and that its going to be tough to get it done. Thats why i think youre seeing market go down. David in fairness by the way the asian trip was planned long before they knew this was a critical week where the house passing the tax bill to the senate and the senate doing what it did, but ned, talking about the delay in the tax cuts because thats what concerns me the most as you well know, the reagan tax cuts of 1981 were delayed until 1983 and i dont think its coincidence that in 1982, smack in the middle of that delay, we had a recession. The economy declined about 1. 9 . It wasnt until the tax cuts kicked in in 83 that the economy began to zoom up. No, and the thing that i was thinking about is the whole point of donald trump and tax cuts was to make this flatter and simpler for the taxpayers. This is nothing like that and i have to say, david looking at this senate bill and the way that it deals with inheritance, deals with real estate depreciation, doesnt deal with the carried interest loopholes, how it deals with raising the Small Business pass through tax. There are a lot of us starting to think do you know what . This really benefits the super rich globalist and does screw the middle and upper middle class because the thing that worries me a little bit david, i actually agree with the New York Times. This is a tax david youre in trouble, ne d. But david i think the thing thats really sticking out like a sore thrum, donald trump said he was going to close that carr ied interest loophole. Do i think its a coincidence that gary cohen and Steve Mnuchin have not really addressed that issue . Do i think the swamp dwellers in d. C. Havent dealt with it . Of course not. They wont bite the hand that feeds them their campaign. David the thing where i see swamp dwellers is in the seven brackets. One of the keys to the original tax cut plan that we heard from the trump people in april was that they were going to reduce the number of brackets. We now have seven brackets. The first plan had three bracket s and then expanded to four brackets under the house plan and now were back to seven brackets. Thats potential bubble tax that secret hidden
