With russia. There is nothing in this indictment that moved the ball significantly in terms of any Crime Associated with collusion. And the trump white house. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson is laughing off reports that he is about to lose his job. Its laughable. Its a Beautiful Day its a Beautiful Day. Pete beautiful morning. Not day. Beautiful morning. Start with the morning and move through the day. Rachel beautiful cut tax. Ed its a big beautiful tax cut. Rachel good morning. Ed good morning rachel. Rachel thank you for having me back. I love doing this show. Ed i landed in new york. Fly here, past midnight reading my email as i arrive in new york city Vice President pence was arriving at the capitol. I felts there was semitri. Alivening for work. Pete why do they do their work at 2 00 a. M. Why cant they get it done normal time. Big news at 2 00 a. M. You know about, this obviously. Rachel yeah. Ed lets get straight to that fox news alert. There is a lot happening overnight while you were sleeping and ellison barber has all the details on the tax cut. Good morning, ellison. Good morning to you. A big win that republicans in the senate got just by the skin of their teeth. They narrowly passed this bill with 51 votes after a number of lastminute changes and deals to convince some of those skeptical republicans. Some of the changes were literally hand written in the margins of the bill. That frustrated Many Democrats who say this entire thing was rushed through. Some key changes to the senate bill, again, this was to convince holdouts like Maines Susan Collins and arizona jeff flake keeping the al termive minimum tax to provide more revenue and allowing property Tax Deductions up to 10,000 like the house bill and keeping the medical expense deduction for the next two years. All democrats voted against the bill. The only republican no came from tennessee senator bob corker, who had concerns over the impact to the national debt. Im totally confident this is a revenue neutral bill. I think its going to be a revenue producer. As we have said over and over and over again, the 1. 5 trilliondollar deficit only to be filled, only requires us to grow. 4 of 1 over the next 10 years. This bill slangted toward the wealthy and powerful and tax increases on middle class citizens. The house has approved two different bills before this gets to the president. They need to come to an agreement and merge the two pieces of legislation. That starts when they go to conference. The house is expected to vote monday night to go to conference and then well see where this goes from there. The senate bill is expected to hold more weight in conference than the house bill. 13 republicans voted against the house bill. The senate has less available votes to lose. So keeping them on board is of course very important. Pete, rachel, ed . Ed ellison barber, as if we thought the process was other you are right. This is the just the beginning. They have to work out of the differences. This is a lot further than anyone believes. 24 hours ago the Mainstream Media was cheering there is chaos. Of the president may not get his tax cut. Getting it through the Senate Something they could not do on healthcare. This is a bill deal. Pete one dissenting vote little bob corker. Senator little bob coworkerrer bob cork everywhere. The president tweeted about this book. He said we are one step closer to delivering massive tax cuts to working families across america. Special thanks to Mitch Mcconnell and chairman orrin hatch for sheparding the bill through the senate. Look forward to signing a bill, final bill before christmas. The devil is in the details. They got to get through a Conference Committee but a big step. Raach ramp it is step. Rachel there is a big step. The house doesnt like the senate bill quite yet. I was hoping they would be able to work it out and maybe skip that conference. Thats not going to happen. Look, i mean, a few weeks ago parttime were really saying we need to change Mitch Mcconnell. This is the moment where you see where experience and understanding how to navigate the legislative process and making all these big ego snearnts senators happy to get this cobbled together. Big moment for Mitch Mcconnell. Pete ego senators very important. Ed house members are great. You know those guys. Rachel im a little biased i think they are more collegial and act like a team. Senators are their own thing and i think youll see in this bill the reason why this bill isnt as clean and as simple as we all want at this point is because of senators. Ed Corporate Tax rate going down from 35 down to 20 . We have got that graphic right there. The individual tax cut part of this though i think is fascinating because the joint committee on taxation take a look at this, 60 of households are going to get a tax cut. 8 , less than 10 of u. S. Households will pay more. 80 of families making 50,000 to 75,000 per year get a tax cut of at least 100. Why do i specify those numbers . You heard schumer, we played it there. Ellison had it, he said this is all for the wealth yansd powerful. 80 of people making 50 to 75,000 getting a tax cut. How is that geared toward the wealthy and powerful . I thought that Kimberly Strossel in the wall street journal had this piece yesterday talking about how democrats in the Bush Administration reached across the aisle and actually voted for tax cuts. It wasnt that long ago. 2001 president bushs tax cut had 12 Senate Democrats on board. 28 house democrats. Right now zero in both cham buyers. Now, he this will have a chance. Pete do you think maybe on the senate vote once its obvious it will pass. Ed yes. Pete potentially a few democrats. Ed you may see a joe manchin. Youve got Clair Mccaskill in missouri they are facing voters in very red states. Are republicans going to get anything done . Theyre going into 2018 emptyhanded. The narrative could flip if they get this done. The democrats are going into 2018 not voting tore fax cuts. Rachel listen, there is a loft confusion on the left as you mentioned, ed, this is for the corporations. This is for the rich. You are hearing the republican message how it helps working families. I know you guys out there have some questions. Weve got an expert here to help explain some of the intricacies of this bill. Ed going to answer questions every single hour. Rachel write in your questions we will answer them on the show. Pete friends foxnews. Com. Pay more pay less . Its amazing to watch the way in which washington writes rules that apply to all of us as if oftentimes they dont apply to them. In this case it will apply to all of us. This all matters to us. Rachel it does. Ed absolutely. Pete rates matter. Ed President Trumps justice drooped hammer on Kate Steinles killer by issuing an arrest warrant. The not guilty verdict absurdity. Jeff sessions on ca with tucker last knight vowing to do Everything Possible to going after not only this criminal but also crack down on sanctuary cities. Watch. Its time for this country to get its head on straight. These cities should not be protecting criminal aliens. People that come into the country unlawfully, then they commit another crime. And then they hide that individual and dont let them as they did with zarate turned over to ice agency. Tucker so the killer is being deported . That will be his ultimate fate. We are confident and we are going to do Everything Possible to ensure that happens. Although there are some potential other charges that could be brought against him. Before being deported and released, we think he should face every charge thats proper to be brought against him. You can sure our department of justifiable is works right now to bring any charges that are appropriate. Im fascinated by the fact that the attorney general of the United States when asked by tucker is he going to be deported yes or no he says we want to look at it in fairness to the attorney general. He is saying lets get him on other charges. Why . So thats great. Crack down. Because if we deport him theres a good chance he is going to make it back. So we want to throw him in prison for a while. Wait a second, what the attorney general of the United States is say going we deport this illegal immigrant, theres a good chance he is coming back. That just shows you even the attorney general cannot guarantee we are going to keep this illegal immigrant out of the country. Its remarkable. Rachel this case is making the case for President Trump about Border Security. If we send him back he will come back. People are outraged. I talked to friends of mine across the country after this verdict. All of them cannot understanding how you this happened and he is not still in jail. Pete thats true. Because laws should matter. Borders should matter but they dont. Speaking of something that ed was very excited about. I have been dying to see what ed is going to say. The liberal media is giddy about the fact that general flynn has entered a guilty plea in the investigation of the special counsel. Ed lying to the fbi. Pete lying to the fbi. Listen to what the media has to say about this. Take a listen. There arent many more dots after mike flynn, right . Your dots go to kushner and then the president. There really are no other dots here. This is a case that reaches directly in to the heart of the Trump Administration. In to the oval office. People now who have believed that the president sort of loose way with information and fact was his best defense now thinks that the president is in danger and exposed. I do agree, this is a big moment where if you are on the fence you start to think jeez, is this whole thing going down . Is it watergate . Pete watergate, he had ed . Ed i knew watergate was coming. Pete lying to the fbi is no small deal. Ed no. Pete i get that it doesnt connect the dots to the president colluding with russia, which is what the media wants. Rachel he is also lying about something that is legal which is in the transition its legal to talk to other countries, including russia. Pete thank you. Ed why did he mislead the Vice PresidentMichael Flynn. Pete thought he could glades it over. Ed the fbi sits down with you and you have a chance to clear record. You by mr. It doesnt that suggest you are hiding Something Else . Pete discussion you are just like. Ed why lie to the fbi . Pete i dont want to be in this position. The reality, he is not hiding some nefarious plot, hes hiding. Ed dont know what he said because is he now cooperating with the special counsel so we have to see where it goes. Where i agree with you is that the media should not take this and run to watergate immediate yachtly. They did that with march for the as well. Thats whats fascinating. After the man ford situation manafortsituation. Run to the door. This is it this goes directly into the oval office. We got the details into the manafort it goes directly to 2005, 2006. This is more serious though because Michael Flynn was actually the National Security advisor. Pete after he got elected. Rachel for 20 some days he was fired for lying by the put himself. I think really what the crime here in my opinion for trump is he made a bad choice. He had been warned that flynn was not the best choice. A lot of politicians make that decision early on as a new candidate, as a new president. Pete no one trusts the media u coming up it, happened again, Illegal Immigrants accused of a vicious crime. Now we are learning he was deported 20 times. Yes, you heard it right. 20. How did that happen . Ed mitchell obamhe ed Michelle Obama wanted to make school lunch healthier except no one is eating it. Does your bed do that . I dont actually talk but i can tell you how you slept. Im the new sleep number 360 smart bed. Lets meet at a sleep number store. Breaking news, abc news brian ross is reporting Michael Flynn promised full cooperation to the mueller team and is prepared to testify that as a candidate donald trump directed him to make contact with the russians. Yes the celebration, although abc news actually had to correct that specific story. We will get to that Mainstream Media absolutely giddy with excitement over Michael Flynns plea deal with the fbi. Pete are they celebrating too soon and what does this really mean for the russia investigation. Rachel joining us for reaction Fox News Contributor charles hurt. Hi, charles. How are you all . Ed basically have you the Mainstream Media. Same thing they did with Paul Manafort a few weeks back. Is he indicted and you heard, i remember it broke on a friday night and following monday he is indicted. He goes into court, manafort. And on friday night you had on cnn had you Karl Bernstein and david enter began saying various ideas this is going to the office. Walls are going in. Manafort it goes back to 2005, charlie. Like listening to the football. They also did it with the russian dossier they are like we finally got him. They also did like 20 times during the election. The problems here though are these first of all, this is a crime that was created by the investigation itself. It has nothing to do with the Trump Campaign or the Trump Administration or the transition team. Nothing to do with any of that stuff it all has to do with the investigation itself which i would argue is above this investigation to begin with. The second thing is that bob mueller, basically he put immense pressure on mike flynn to get him to this point. He threatened to put his son in jail. He threatened to bring financial ruin to his family, to his wife. You threaten to put my son in jail, you threaten my wife with financial ruin after im going i will tell you anything you want to know. I will tell you this moon is made of meat loaf. Anything you want. Ed i will turn on pete in a second few that to me. Are you kidding me . I would turn on anybody. Pete what is the avenue of approach to connect this to the president . Is there any . This leads to a whole another huge problem that what mike flynn is talking about are conversations he had with the president after the election. If you want to collude to rig the election, the collusion has to happen before the election. Not after the election. It reminds me of that great scene in Butch Cassidy and the sundance kid where they finally go straight bolivia, they are going down the mountain and protecting the mine owner who keeps getting held up with the payroll. And he looks around and they are trying to see where the morons, they have morons. They dont rob me going down the mountain. I dont have the money. They rob me when i come back up the mountain from the bank. Same thing here, bob mueller is a moron. Rachel listen, we are discussing this all morning. We really appreciate your insight there, charles. My pleasure. Rachel well be back. Ed we appreciate that meanwhile, some breaking news.
