Melissa White House Correspondent kevin corke is live on the north lawn. That was just a little bit of what he had to say. Let me tell you, hes been talking about this for quite some time both on twitter and today over at quantico. White house officials for quite some time have felt there was this biased against the president among the higher ups at the fbi who are investigating Hillary Clinton at the time. The president today, well, he was president ial in his remarks over at the graduation over at quantico, celebrating the history of the borough and calling on all in attendance to do the bidding of the American People. That is with fidelity, bravery, and integrity. I want you to deliver a message to your fellow officers. The president of the United States has your back 100 . I will fight for you, and i will never, ever let you down ever. Now, more than ever, we must support the men and women in blue. That is consistent with his messaging about a Law Enforcement in general, but maybe you would think its a little inconsistent compared to what he said previously about the bureau. He tweeted this back on decembe. After years of james comey, with the phony and dishonest clinton investigation and more, running the fbi, its reputation is in tatters, worst in history. But fear not, we will bring it back to greatness. He celebrated its greatness today, but keep in mind, he more or less took one for the team and declared publicly instead of the attorney general that there simply wasnt enough evidence to charge then secretary of state clinton with a crime related to storing and disseminating classified documents from her server. It was mueller who picked up the russia investigation. After the shocking loss of the 2016 election, about which the president said this just before heading over to quantico. Speak out they are spending millions millions of dollars. There is absolutely no collusion. I didnt make a phone call to russia. I had nothing to do with russia. Everybody knows it. That was a democratic hoax. It was an excuse for losing the election. It would have never been this way. If they had spent all these millions of dollars. Now even the democrats admit there is no collusion. There is no collusion, thats it. Heres what i want you to keep an eye on. You hear the president say one thing and then maybe change his messaging depending on time and place. Some people would say thats wildly inconsistent, or he can make the argument as some white house officials have made with me, depending on the time and place, that is the accurate and appropriate messaging. This weekend he will be making his way up to camp david in. Is expected to receive the security briefings and make phone calls to push tax reform over the finish line. We will be watching that carefully from here. For now, back to you. Melissa kevin corke, thank you. What i have said privately and to the press is it that unless they figure out a way to increase the refundable part higher than 1100, unless i can figure out how to add to the 1100 figure, i wont support the bill. Jon the republican tax bill could be on shaky ground after senator marco rubio, whom you just heard, threatens to vote no. That possibility puts the g. O. P. s razorthin margin in the senate closer to the brink. What happens now . Joining us, glenn hall, chief editor for dow jones newswire. Marco rubio has been very active on this point. The g. O. P. Cannot afford to lose votes. They have a 5248 margin in the senate right now, and there are a handful of republican senators who seem to be upset come up marco rubio among them. Heres what he said in a tweets dorm of sorts. The working class is always forgotten in d. C. Made to add more tax cuts for workingclass parents, especially those earning 220 to 50,000. It doubles the Child Tax Credit, but only 55 of that 2,000 is available to them. I can only support the bill if the percentage of the 2,000 Child Tax Credit available to workingclass families is increased to percentage meaningfully higher than 55 . Always hard to read a tweets and make them sound natural. You have news on that. It does seem that he is a lobbying there was effective. Our wall street journal reported that they now agreed in this compromise bill to make it 1400 from the 1100 previously slotted for the Child Tax Credit, and is believed that that might be enough to satisfy marco rubio. Jon if you get marco rubio vote, are you in . It certainly better than without him. There are some wild cards. There are concerns about the impact of the deficit and the spending side. That is what has bob corker concern. How they will offset these things. Theres a 1. 5 trillion spending limit over a decade that has to be kept below because thats the framework they are working under. Theres one other thing, that they had to be mindful of, you have two senators who have Health Issues right now, and if they are not able to vote, thats your two vote margin. They are working around those issues as well. Jon john mccain still undergoing treatments, and walter reed in connection to his brain cancer treatments. Thats got to be a tough one for Mitch Mcconnell to try and figure out when to schedule this vote. Absolutely. They are on a tight deadline here. They want to get this done next week. The plan today will reveal what the language is. We are expecting that by the end of the day. They are sending that right now and committee. They were supposed to be a vote as early as monday or tuesday, and we are waiting to see what the schedule looks like. Jon the idea that they get this done by christmas, will that give them time to get the new tax rates out so that peoples first paycheck of the year reflects a little more to come . There is some concern about that. Thats a pretty tight turnaround for all of those, a lot of forms and changes that will be implemented. Some of this might get stressed retroactively. Jon but the president promised a tax cut for christmas, it appears they will be ready to deliver. They are getting close. Jon glenn hall, thank you. Melissa. Melissa the United States looking to increase pressure on a defiant north korea to abandon its Nuclear Weapons program. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson speaking before members of United NationsSecurity Council at a special meeting this morning. North korean regime continuing unlawful missile launches and testing activities signal its contempt for the United States, its neighbors, and asia, and all members of the United Nations. In face of such a threat, an action is unacceptable for any nation. Melissa brian ennis joins us live right now outside the u. N. With more. Well, the secretary of state Rex Tillerson urged the u. N. Security council to continue pressure and sanctions on north korea. He also called out russia and china saying that its not enough to just vote for increased sanctions, as they have been doing, but they must do more to actually implement the sanctions. China should stop allowing oil to run into north korea. But also, tillers an important link walked back the notion that he said on tuesday this earlier this week, in which he said that there would be no precondition for the u. S. To talk to north korea. He had said earlier this week that the u. S. Would be willing to speak to north korea as soon as they wanted to. Today, he walked that back just moments ago. Take a listen. Our hope remains that diplomacy will produce a resolution. As i said earlier this week, the sustained of north korea starting behavior must occur before talks can begin. North korea must earn its way back to the table. The Pressure Campaign must an end will continue until the denuclearization is achieved. We will in the meantime keep our channels of communication open. The u. N. Secretary general Antonio Gutierrez as well as other members of the u. N. Security council have made it clear today that what the u. N. Wants to do is actually act as an intermediary, making sure there is no miscalculation or miscommunication that could escalate this into a devastating war. That is what the u. N. Is trying to do. In fact, just last week, the u. N. s top Political Affairs hand Jeffrey Feltman went to north korea for a meeting, a first of its kind meeting between the u. N. And senior officials of north korea and about eight years. What they talked about there was about a 15 hour back and forth in the North Koreans ultimately said it was important to prevent war, but they were uncommitted when it came to whether or not they would engage in talks. The u. N. Trying all they can to exhaust all options. One thing is clear, the Security Council will not accept a nuclear north korea, and a north korea as im now doesnt seem like they will accept it being do you nuclearize themselves. Melissa right ennis, thank you. Jon the washington rumor mill kicked into high gear after House Speaker paul ryan hints at retirement. Does the rocking chair really in his future . Plus, Ambassador Nikki Haley making a dramatic presentation at the u. N. On how iran is violating resolutions in the middle east. The evidence she is showing the world body just ahead. Iran is determined to undermine the International Consensus against its conduct. We must speak with one voice in exposing the regime for what it is, a threat to the peace and security of the entire world when you really want to save big on a hotel just go to priceline. They add thousands of new deals every day at up to 60 off. Thats how kaley and i got to share this trip together at this amazing hotel. Yeah ash and i share everything dresses, makeup, water bottles. We do . Mmhmm. We share secrets, shoes, toothbrushes. What . Yeah i forgot mine so ive been using yours. Seriously . Whats the big deal . I mean, we even dated the same guy. Who . uh, go to priceline and get the hotel deals you wont find anywhere else. Jon House Speaker paul ryan denying that he plans to retire from congress after midterm elections next year. The speculation all started after some Media Outlets reported that ryan had conducted soulsearching conversations with friends about his future. According to political, staying in congress until the midterms would let ryan pursue tax reform and overhaul benefit programs like medicare. Ryan insists hes staying right where he is. The white house also pushing back on those reports. The president did speak to the speaker not too long ago and made sure the speaker knew, very clearly under no certain terms, if that news was true he was very unhappy with it. The speaker assure the president those were not accurate reports, and they look forward working together for a long time to come. Jon he took the job when the former speaker stepped aside in 2015. Melissa the republican tax bill hitting a speed bump as it approaches the finish line. G. O. P. Leaders had hoped to unveil its final version today but are pushing it back until monday after two republican senators voiced concerns about the Child Tax Credit for workingclass families. The white house urging republicans to get the deal done once and for all. We hope that this tax bill actually gets to the president s desk because it is the largest tax increase weve seen in just just tax a decrease or cut weve seen it about 30 years, which is extremely exciting for us. We would expect that most republicans get on board. A speed to republican senator oa Senate Finance committee. Thank you for joining us. What can you tell us about where it stands today. It seems like it was certain in all the sudden we are pushing back to monday . I feel good about it. I think it will be out tonight or tomorrow, and we will have a vote tuesday or wednesday. I think the votes were there last time in the senate, and they will be there this time. The bill has improved after the housesenate conference. You will see substantial middle class tax relief, which is a lot of people are looking for. You will see improvement there on the Child Tax Credit. I think it will be a very popular bill among our republican colleagues we will get the votes. Melissa our lawmakers frustrated with senator rubio during a lastminute rocky mensch in there . Everybody has something they would like to have improved. Marco has a passion that that really works for families who are not paying income tax but paying payroll taxes, and thats what he is insistent on the refund ability. I respect that. He is looking out for the very people we are looking out for. The end, the bill will be improved, and we will get the support of our republican colleagues. I hope some democrats will take a look at it. It is helping folks are at the bottom of the economic ladder, as marco has insisted. It also makes our businesses competitive again. Melissa those who would take the other side from senator rubio would say that the goal of this is to make it simpler and at this as another complexity, its another deductive, another loophole, its moving in the opposite direction of the original plan to lower taxes for all. This goes back to favoring a certain group. We already have the tax credit and we do double it, but we also disallow the personal exemption. Thats how you overcome that. It was a simple location as you know and we also doubled the standard deduction, which is a terrific simplification for about 90 of the americans. Doubling it, you will see a lot of folks now being able to use one page for their tax return because they will not have all these deductions, credits, exemptions they are talking about. It provides tax relief, it also provides application. The child credit is already there, but it is expanded. Melissa there were some conspiracy theorist out there who might say one of the reasons they are holding out until monday, there are some Health Concerns for various senators when you get out there for the final vote, are you worried about that aspect of having everybody whos going to vote yes good enough health to be on the floor to vote . Of course we all wish for senator mccain to have a great help for as long as possible. My sense is that everybodys made a commitment to be there next week. We will certainly be able to have the vote. Our prayers go to him and his family. Melissa absolutely. Thank you for your time. Jon u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley pushing for action against iran for violating the nuclear agreement. How she is asking the International Community to respond. Plus, a devastating wildfire ripping through Southern California now blamed for the death of a firefighter. The family of First Responders grappling with the loss, as they try to keep that fire from spreading. On my phone rang this morning and i got that phone call, its a phone call that no fire chief ever wants to receive. Jon an investigation is underway in a regarding a death of a california firefighter killed while battling a massive fire there. Officials confirm cory iversen was injured yesterday in the city of fillmore. He later died. An accident review team is trying to figure out what happened. Iversen was an eight year veteran in the Fire Department and leaves behind a pregnant wife and 2yearold daughter. Along with a family of firefighters. Hes a type of man youd want your daughter to marry and the type of sun you would want to grow up to be. Hes a guy you could rely on, nothing more, nothing less. Jon iverson is the second death a link to the thomas fire. It also has destroyed hundreds of homes and torched more than 250,000 anchors. Officials say the fire is now 35 contained. Melissa u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Nikki haley says iran has violated the nuclear agreement, and yesterday, she presented what she says is physical proof. She stood next to pieces of an iranian rocket that were fired at a Saudi Arabian airport by rebels in yemen. She blamed iran for selling the rocket to the rebels and explain how it could bring danger to americas doorstep. Just imagine if this missile had been launched at Dulles Airport or jfk or the airports in paris, london, or berlin. The fight against a radiant aggression is the worlds fight. Melissa joined me now is michael saying, a former middle Eastern Affairs at the national Security Council and managing director of the washington. Thank you for joining us. Is there any way to dispute that evidence she had there . Is pretty compelling evidence, and it builds on evidence that was provided a bit earlier by the United Nations itself. The missiles and the votes in question are pretty close matches or even exact matches for what we know it is in irans own arsenal. Some of the pieces are actually stamped with the locals iranian manufacturers. Some of these items were found on a rainy and cargo boats being transported towards yemen. I think the only question our partners may raise is, when was it transferred . Was that during the period of u. N. Sanctions or before that . Melissa talk about the sanctions because if it appears what it is to be, it violates about four coat u. N. And various resolutions where they had promised not to do that. Its unclear whether it violates the nuclear sanctions. Thats right. If eyelets with the resolutions that providing arms to the rebels in yemen and resolution 20 to 31 which was the one that enshrined the iran nuclear deal. Its a iran cant export any arms. It doesnt really violate the nuclear deal itself because unfortunately, and what i think is an omission, that deal leaves out missiles entirely. Melissa why do you think that was . The Obama Administration when th
