Regime will be destroyed. How could all of this have been so secret. American airlines is scrambling to find pilots to operate thousands of flights over the christmas hollywood. We must start totally winning and winning and winning again. We cant stand winning so much. Remember i used to say that . I used to say it and thats whats happening. Applause, applause. Brian looks cluttered today. Steve christmas ornaments on the avenues of america. Hi, everyone. Welcome in studio d. Were in studio d today. Not the new studio because today they are actually using our studio. They are getting ready for our staff member a. J. Halls wedding which is going to be tomorrow afternoon. So they are clearing the deck. Brian its affected even Martha Maccallum and the five. Sorry, thats what happens. Ainsley wouldnt it be fun if we had a wedding in our studio. Steve brian remembers we actually married somebody on the plaza once upon a time. Brian right. We keep in touch with them every day. Ainsley seriously, there is a corporate event going on in our studio. We are here today but we will be back for tomorrow. Steve thats what it is . Who knew. Brian talking about historic tax cuts. I know you have been down this path before and some of you were bitter and felt like you were left at the altar repeal and replace. Ainsley thats the wedding theme again. Brian thats my reference. You will see they are closer than ever doing something they havent done in 30 years. Yesterday they voted in the senate to go forward with a vote that could happen as early as today. The president was kite optimistic on the stump in missouri yesterday. Ainsley they have the votes they say 52 to 48. Republicans needed 50 votes in order to pass this. There was some concern because there were about 8 republicans that were on the fence about this. Steve this was just a procedural vote okay now we are going to vote there would be a number of times they couldnt get all republicans on board. It is along party line if there are republicans who could derail this thing. The president optimistic. He tweeted this out. The only people that dont like the packs cut bill are the people that dont stand iunderstanding it or the obstruction of democrats and do not know how really good it is and do not want the credit and success to go to the republicans. How would you pay for the Child Tax Credit . Well maybe than having a 20 Corporate Tax level, you make it 21 or make it 22 . Because, for every point that raises 100 billion over 10 years. Brian right. They are going to wrestle. Its still fine. Get 100 people to agree on anything or 52 to agree on anything its impossible what to have their lunch. I like the way they are working through it and saying this is not the plan i want. Rand paul is the guy who usually has the biggest problem with it. John mccain. Senator corker was on with us two days ago. He said im concerned with the deficit. If the deficit starts going up in a couple of years then its an automatic trying tore raise taxes. Somen the right say i dont think we should be doing this. Cory gardner saying im not in to the trigger thing. I would rather cut spending. That along with what steve just mentioned, along with the mandate, when it comes to repealing the mandate on healthcare. These are the issues republicans have to work through. Ainsley yesterday they were wheeling and dealing. Its great to see them doing. This because the people that are on the fence they needed to be pulled over onto the other side if they wanted this thing to pass and wanted to be a victory for republicans. They sat down with Susan Collins who has that concern with healthcare to. Win her over, republicans agreed to stabilize the market if obamacare is abolished. Include the 10,000 in property taxes important to Susan Collins. Sat down with senator danes and johnson. Their issue with the Tax Deduction for the big businesses. We will increase the Tax Deduction to the small businesses, too. They are on board now because of that. Steve and regarding the trigger. It looks like the trigger might actually be in trouble because there are parliamentarian reasons why they might not be able to include. This essentially, while they are Going Forward, they still havent quite figured out how many people are for this. Nonetheless, stay tuned because there could actually be a vote tonight. Ainsley the trigger thing sounds great though because if they are promising that this is going to disagree the deficit eventually because we are going to make more money as a government, then vote for this. If it doesnt do that, then the tax goes up. Steve if there is a short fall. If there is a recession there is going to be a short fall which means peoples taxes go up. A lot of people hate the trigger. Ainsley promising this. Doesnt work out then we get what we want. Brian great point, ainsley. People say wait a second. Why dont we cut spending. That would help the deficit. Eventually have to get to the automatic withdrawals off our bank account. We are talking about discretionary stuff and overall restructure. The president had a couple emphasis yesterday. He said listen, this isnt tax cuts. This is tax reform. This is historic. We are changing at love things. He says its going to hurt him as a businessman and he doesnt care because he is president now. I thought the president put a lot of pressure on senator mccaskill. You are a socalled moderate. You are in jeopardy . You have to make sure that a lot of people on the right vote for you. Vote for this or else im going to run someone against you and you are going to have to explain. This senator mccaskill doesnt look like she is on board. Senator manchin says there is a shot at that senator Heidi Heitcamp might get involved. Steve big newspapers,. Ainsley one of the newspapers. Wall street journal i feel its big. Steve but the New York Times, the gray lady, it looks as if has been rented out to the democrats because yesterday they essentially turned over everything to stop this tax bill. And, in fact, they tweeted this out and they wrote a lengthy oped as well and said now is the time to contact senators. If you havent already done so, about this tax plan. Find yours here. Then they give the phone numbers it is exroird. It looks like essentially they have crossed a line where theyre working for the democrats. Ainsley its so negative. It would be different if they said contact your senator and tell them if you like it or you dont and why you dont. They put the tax bill hurts. They said tell your senators how you are going to be hurt by. This. Brian the senators that are vulnerable that may be on the fence all their emails and twitter accounts are posted right there. Now, is that a big deal in the word is opinion. New york times is giving their opinion, stunningly its against what donald trump wants to do. Heres what the New York Times guidelines say. Here it is. This is their own guidelines. Social media posts journalists must not express partisan opinion, promote political views. Endorse candidates. Make offensive comments or do anything else that undercut the times reputation. This is every newsroom including those not involved in the coverage of government or politics. It seems lirks they have to give themselves 15yard penalty and no reason to have this play reviewed. Steve heres the thing, they took over, the New York TimesEditorial Board took over the twitter and essentially they are breaking the rules they started about a month ago on october the 13th that they put up where they are taking a stand. It has crossed a line for a lot of people. What do you think about it . Let us know foxandfriends. Com. Ainsley do those apply to the Editorial Board . A lot of people are saying this is taking it too far. They are allowed to give their opinion but to tell them to call the senators and tell them why they are against it is too garr. Steve these guidelines apply to everyone in every department of the newsroom. Britain brian we know about taking the knee. The president has called them out. A lot of people are staying away and has stayed away. Ratings are down ten dance is down. The league is trying to be offensive they decided to give over 100 billion in seven years to various social justice issues that the players deem are important. However, this would end the protest immediately. There are some players that say have you no right to negotiate this with the two players they elected to negotiate this. So the players are fractured and upset about this probleminvolving mechanism. Ainsley owners are only meeting with two players to determine what social issues to give money to. Brian two to go in there and negotiate it. Its a ton of money. How they decide to spend the mommy i thought was where the rubber hits the road. The fact the players are saying im not comfortable with this deal is stunning to me. Ainsley what will make them happy . Giving 100 million to issues that are important to take a knee. Steve how far the nfl will go to stop the anthem protest. 49ers eric reid they are fed up and look, we are leaving this Players Coalition that did the negotiating. Look, we are not on board with this idea. Ainsley all the owners are going to dallas for a meeting i understand in december and saying they might not even talk about the flag issue. They might wait until march. Brian not sure about that. I will say. This the league sat there they protected the union. They didnt say its our idea take a knee. They are very upset about taking a to me. Instead they try to solve it together. They give 90 million to what they say are social justice issues and they still are not happy . What are they happy with . Eric reid was the second personal to take a knee in San Francisco. Now that kaepernick is gone he is the main guy. He accident feel as though this addresses their issues. How much more money do you need . What do you want . Picket signs . Do you want to go to kinkos and have everyone before the game holding a sign . Steve they said 100 million but we dont know how exactly they are going to spend the money. They just want the protest to end. Brian maybe thats what the league does. Maybe the players dont. Steve at least some of them. We have a lot to say about a lot more stuff but now its time for the news. Jillian joins us here in studio d. Jillian goorged to you guys and to you at home as well.

Brian getting new images this morning showing north koreas launch of an icbm missile. President trump addressing kim jong un last night with a brand new nickname. Because these massive tax cuts will be rocket fuel. [laughter] little rocket man. Rocket fuel for the american economy. [cheers and applause] he is a sick puppy. Brian joining us to weigh in is four star general, chairman of the institute of war general jack keane. Tell us whats changed after that rocket went so far after two and a half months of not seeing anything . A couple things, number one, clearly, he is advancing his capability. Now he can reach the entire United States. He has still got a couple things he has got to do. And thats demonstrate to himself that they can reenter the vehicle from outer space without burning it up. They havent demonstrated that secondly, miniaturizing Nuclear Weapon so you can affix it to the top of an icbm. Usually conduct atmospheric test. Two more steps he is going to take. Were not surprised by the fact that he has done another test. But i think moist of us are pretty disappointed because the chinese envoy was just in north korea after the president s visit. I think while were measured about what can be accomplished, we were hoping certainly that he would come back and say, listen, kim jong un has decided to extend his testing halt and maybe we can start to have some kind of negotiations leading to an accommodation. Thats off the table. Whatever he was trying to do. We dont know for sure but the fact that he ran this test, means that that envoy likely did not succeed. Brian general, their missiles are now mobile. If you look at the distance they can hit an American City. Does the game change. The fact that they have mobile missiles like the russians and chinese, actually their launchers look remarkably similar to the chinese means we are not going to have a lot of early warning. That is a challenge for us. Were still helding toward the main everett here nikki haley said it yesterday china. The fact that she is publicly asking china to do more means we know china has not gone all in yet. And were still depending on them. Secretary tillerson and haley have done a good job in getting countries to back away from economically supporting north korea. They will put more pressure on north korea for sure. Brian if we were going to talk to them, you believe there is something in between us saying no more war games with south korea and them saying freeze. They say we will freeze our Nuclear Program if you guys stop your war games with south korea. What would general jack keane say diplomatically . Well, we cant stop trading with south korea. What they want to do is drive a wedge between us and south korea. And actually, eventually, they want us off the peninsula for obvious reasons. But maybe we dont have to do the same scale of war games. Brian scale back. Put something on the table. The fact that they have indicated some of that it means that there is some room there for them. But, listen, they want this capability. They believe its the only thing thats going to ensure the preservation of the regime. Brian with the exit of kadafi after he gave up his Nuclear Weapons they have learned from that. Thank you so much. When we come back, talk to something thats going to matter to you and your kitchen table. My experience with usaa has been excellent. They always refer to me as master sergeant.
