it s not taxes, but rather productivity growth. that s been very, very weak. if these companies do invest a little more, that will boost productivity. that will increase wages. now, wages. they re making profit. it s been weak. productivity has been weak. that s right. anthony and i agree entirely on that. when companies invest more in equipment and research and technology, who benefits from that? the workers who are working with that kind of you give a worker a forklift, he s going to make a lot more money than he doesn t have that kindf equipment. i had a dinner with fred smith, the ceo of fedex. you do this plan, we re going buy more trains, trucks, vehicles, that s good for workers. understood. that s your economic lesson for today. very good. i like the debate. you make us better.

who kneel during the national anthem. in my opinion, the nfl has to change. or you know what is going to happen, their business is going to go to hell. this morning we have a bit of breaking news on the hurricane response in puerto rico. white house press secretary sara sanders just tweeting momenti i ago that the administration has decided to lift or suspend the jones act. s ago that the administration has decided to lift or suspend the jones act. this is a 100 year old law that requires supplies being carried between the u.s. ports to be carried on u.s. ships. number of democratic members of congress had called on the administration to wave that rule for now at least for a year they wanted in order to try to get supplies more quickly to the island territory. so once again the white house press secretary tweeting out that the administration has decided to lift the jones act for puerto rico. that s huge, joe. thank you very much. this is exactly what the mayor of san juan had been calling for on no uncertain team saying this is what we re waiting for. this is what we need. just last night made an national appeal. the president has done it. what they said was the governor, let s bring in david. david what the white house is saying is we needed to wait for a formal request. look, is that true? it s truish. that s the way it s supposed to work. they could have jumped the ball. governor of puerto rico saying it andeporting betrays some sort of confusion. governor didn t know they were waiting on him. there are a lot of business interest tied up in the jones act. simply stated it s a rule that made different places like puerto rico have only ships that were made in the u.s. and crude by u.s. people deliver goods there. it excluded a lot of other suppliers. raised costs and kept down the number of people who could help. david, what s you take? there s no doubt it has. in fact you heard president trump say, a lot of those shippers, they don t really want us to waive the jones act. it does raise cost and increase their profit it does have that america first approach. you are right about that. i think the white house was playing a bit of a dance here. you are right. waiting for the formal request trying to back down reports that they had denied a request which they claim they did not do. then as you saw, the governor last night tweeted saying i am petitioning the trump white house as of wednesday night to please waive the jones act and this morning we have the response. he s doing so. talk to mayor and put a fire point on it. mr. president, not to eliminate the laws of shipping is immoral. an act of financial oppression that will only succeed in deepening our downturn. president heardhem and now that has happened. let s talk david about taxes. what do you see in this tax plan that the president has put up. the first thing i see is no sort of path to pay for it. that will end up being a big part of the conversation on capitol hill as it really becomes legislation. you will just see that some republicans who are in favor of this are going to argue that this is going to create an economic book. that is going to help pay for it in and of itself. the tax cuts will indeed pay for it with the economic increase in economic activity that will take place. you ll see a lot of democrats push back on that and perhaps some republicans as well who are true fiscal conservatives. in terms of what s offered here, it s a huge tax cut. i know the president is keen on framing his just as a middle class miracle. he wants to keep it all about the middle class in terms of rhetoric. the corporate side of this seems to me to be a huge piece of this. as you saw, president trump is in a non-negotiable mood about 20% rate for business. here s what i don t get. where s the disconnect on the arctic police station of the plan. the promise from the president on the campaign was crystal. i m about the middle class. don t care about the wealthy. i m going take a bite of out them. i don t need their money. that was excelling. why put out a plan that really only details how you re going to help the upper income people and not the middle class. it has some information in there for the middle class, but you re right. it is not. they re not the headlines. amt, estate tax, lowering business rates, you know. he s clearly on the mind that as you were talking about with steven moore, notion of let s free up some money. give some of the wealthy more money. true supply side economics and that will have sort of a trickle down effect into the economy. there s a great debate in this country over whether or not that works or not and is it proven or not, but clearly donald trump believes that is part of how he s going to get this through. remember, you just saw a completely divided republican party over health care. tax reform is not going to be any easier. it s because of these kinds of issues, he s trying to make sure he has the votes to get something done here. so i think he wasn t able to just take one approach. i think the white house needed to start putting a plan together that had a little bit for everyone. good news for republicans. the president says they do have the votes on graham-cassidy. mitch mcconnell never got this memo which is why he canceled the vote, but the president this morning says they do have the votes. listen to this. the health care bill didn t go down. we have the votes, but reconciliation is a disaster. as you know, it ends on friday. we don t have enough time. we have one senate who is a yes vote. great person, but he s in the hospital. he s a yes vote. we can t do it by friday. so we have the votes. we will do it sometime at the beginning of the year, but prior to the election in november. he s talking there obviously david about senator thad cochran of mississippi who is not in the hospital. not in the hospital. and said he would be happy to come back for the vote. he tweeted this. thanks for the well wishes. i m not hospitalized. they didn t have the votes with cochran anyway. i know that. that s all good. you got the facts wrong on cochran and he s not in the hospital. it doesn t matter. irrelevant piece of information. thad cochran is not one of the names listed as already declared no votes. it only takes three. i thought what was most interesting at the very moment he was saying this on stage yesterday in indiana, that he has the votes, precisely the same moment, lindsey graham, sponsor of the supporters, said we don t have the votes to get the bill passed right now. you could call it that. back to puerto rico. the mayor of san juan, puerto rico. so wonderful to fuful to talk ts morning. what is your reaction to the news the jones act will be suspended started immediately. first of all, i think it is an act of justice. i tweeted yesterday that not repealing the jones act would be an act of injustice. the jones act makes everything we receive in puerto rico between 30-33% higher. the cost of construction will be lower. the cost of acquiring goods will be lowered. we are grateful that our cries for justice were heard and that the president did the right thing and stood in the right side of history. you called for it and now it s happened. i know you must be very grateful. do you know why it took so long to take this action. no, but you know, sometimes it doesn t matter why things happen. and who makes them happen. when justice prevails. and that is what is important. that justice has prevailed here. we have a broken supply chain. and that broken supply chain begins with just repealing the jones act. yes. and must have been a difficult decision, but it is the right and the just decision. mayor julian, i want to ask you about the supplies and the supply chain because it s hard for us to know exactly what s happening. we understand there are thousands of containers of emergency supplies sitting idly at the port of san juan. do you kno about this situation. well, it has been reported that and yesterday there were some images that floated around the internet, which frankly has become a primary source of communication. and this is something that needs to be taken care of quickly. the people of puerto rico need to know what the plans are and how they are unfolding. this is why it s so important to work that all of you are doing down here and it s so important that you magnify the voices that are crying for help. who is supposed to be organizing this. why would there be supplies that people are so desperate for sitting in the port without them getting out. who is supposed to be spear heading that. i m going to have a meeting today with fema. i know that fema employees have come to the municipality and i ll take my municipality. they have told me they re eager to help, but it seems to be some sort of a jurisdictional situation whether it is should the help be coming through the municipality. should it be brought directly through the municipalities or should another method of supply be used. what i m finding is that the mayor of miami beach came personal yesterday and brought me supplies in san juan. the mayor of new york has also done so. the mayor of chicago has helped. what i m finding is that mayors are calling mayors to help mayoring direct because or supply chain is faster. is it true. is it true that these supplies are sitting at the port of san juan? the information that s loaded yesterday through the internet with the images shows that is true. there s about 3,000 containers that are stuck there and there s no reason at ll. so my cry today is let s get it done. lets me on it. what would happen if you went to the port and said please off load these now. nothing. nothing. because from a jurisdictional basis, even though the ports are in the capital city and i m the mayor of the city, i have no jurisdiction over those ports. so nothing will happen. so we are relying on you guys to put the pressure on and make sure that everyone that needs to hear, just like mr. trump heard, the cries for justice that got him to repeal the jones act, we ask, i beg you to just repeat this and repeat this, and use the municipalities as the supply chain. we know our people. we know where the hot spots are. we now how to get our people involved. we can get the stuff to where it needs to go. there are some municipalities that are hindered in their ability to do that. those that can will help those that cannot. it s a simple fact of life. it is not complicated. politics needs to be put aside. and we need to get the job done now. so mayor there is a fema press briefing happening right now along with the governor of puerto rico. so you are calling upon them. if i hear you correctly. to release these supplies to you because you re saying that you know better where they need to go and you can make it happen better than waiting for the feds and fema to try to get to them. not better than waiting. with the help of the feds. with the help of the fema people, and with distribution centers that are closer to the municipality. if the distribution centerings are far away from the municipalities and there are not many, what happens is we will be using what little gas and diesel they have to get supplies. these supplies need to be distributed into bigger centers that are closer to the municipalities and then they can be distributed throughout. so when we hear that the obstacles. i m glad this is happening. it may be happening and they may be what the governor will be announcing. also the communications need to be sharp, clean and clear and people of puerto rico need to know what is happening and when will they get help. when we hear the obstacles are too great to speed up this process because there s no radar at the airport, making it very hard for planes to land, and ports are damaged, is that true? or is there a way to make this happen. for heavens sake. if we were at war, there may not be any radars and planes would be landed. you know, there are ways to get around obstacles. if justice is going to revail. if we are our main put food and water and medicine into people hands. when you re in a war situation, they have little drones or little parachutes that dropboxs. different places with supplies for people. that can be arranged. it has been used since world war ii. it cannot be that difficult. since the 1940s it s been used all over the world. so perhaps go back to basics. and get things done. when you ve talked to federal officials and said my people are dying. my people need help. my people need water and food. let me handle it. let me help through our distribution centers, what is the response that you get. twice i ve been told right amendment. twice i ve been told right amendment. twice the people of fema who are great, good compassionate articulate people. they know what they re doing, they re telling me, look mayor, what they re saying is that all of these, all this stuff needs to be centralized. your petition directly to fema is not good enough. it has to be centralized. well, as long as we keep centralizing things. this is what a supply chain is all about. it s about decentralizing things so that they get to where they re supposed to get fast enough. so the federal officials are telling you right a memo. that sounds like bureaucracy and red tape in this crisis where obviously time is of the essence. they want you to write a memo to who the feds in washington. no, they want me to write a memo to give it to them. mind you, send an e-mail. the communications are broken. communications are broken. i may have an ability to write an e-mail now i won t have it. this call at any point in time can just go off. just because the communications are broken: have i a satellite phone because my dear mayor friend. she came to puerto rico. she came to san juan and send one of new york s finest, a fireman to put a satellite phone in my hand. so you re message to anyone listening in the white house, or in the federal government is that now is not the time for memos. we don t have time for memos and you don t have the technology right now for memos. now is not the time for memos. now is the time for action. now is the time for justice and now is the time to get life support supplies into people s hands. mayor, we appreciate you taking the time to talk to us. i know before our phone call you were trying to get fuel to people who desperately needed it. thank you very much. coming up in just minutes. we will speak with puerto rico man who is trying to do everything he can. he luis fonsi. new details about facebook ads purchased by the russians during the 2016 election. how far did the kremlin go to stoke unrest in america. how did that do it? who might have helped them. house intelligence committee got a member next. feel the power of theraflu expressmax. new power. .to fight back theraflu s powerful new formula to defeat 7 cold and flu symptoms. fast. so you can play on. theraflu expressmax. new power. cnn exclusive reveals one of the facebook ads bought targeted black lives matter. this is proof of what was done to interfere in this election by the russians. not a witch hunt. joining us now is democratic congresswoman. she s a member of the house intel committee which has inv e invited tech firms to testify in an opening hearing on the election. while i have you. we have the mayor of san juan. she s saying she s getting killed by the bureaucracy there. there are things in the port. there are a lot of real problems, but bureaucracy seems to be one of them. is there anything you can do to help grease the wheels down there in terms of getting things done and removing some of the lairs. i think the mayor of san juan has done a great job of making it a national disgrace that we have not gotten the goods and services to the people needed in puerto rico right now. we re not in the majority. it becomes a little more difficult for us you can be sure we re making loud noises about the shaful response in puerto rico. because sometes phone calls from you guys. brock long is a busy guy. by all indications exercising a real plan. when people in power make a phone call, it can make a difference. i want to put it in your ear. on the air. hopefully you can do something about it. let s talk about facebook in terms of what we know. what do you know that the russians did in terms of putting out fake news in deceptive acts. what we know is what facebook has made available to us or the independent studies that have been done. we do know there were some 3,000 ads paid for by russians in rubles. $100,000 worth of ads. 470 fake sites that were created. i think it s a much higher number than that. we do note in all likelihood, $100,000 doesn t seem like much in political campaigns on tv. at s a huge number in number in terms of who you reach. we also know that about 67% of americans are on facebook. about 6% get their news from one social media source. all of that would suggest to us that what these platforms have become, both twitter and facebook, are toxic brew for news pollution. and, you know, we re not talking about walter cronkite anymore. the news we re getting can be and is being suggested tainted particularly by the russians. at the hearing, what do you want to know. i think twitter has got to turn over to us their accounts. that they have identified as being fake muse. i think we should also take advantage of the oxford study that was released this morning about 1% of twitter accounts for the last few days of the election, but suggests that 40% of what was put on twitter during that time was fake news. since most of those were on twitter, are either news sources, news makers are news outlets. that becomes just an echo chamber for bad data being spread publically. little bit of a slippery slope. what are you going to ask for and look for in terms of who might have helped the russians and whoever did this activity find the right places to be and what markets to be. that s really a very excellent question because we do know the of votes in the states of wisconsin, pennsylvania, michigan, ohio, 100,000 votes turned the tide in this election. the fake news went predominantly to those states. how did russia gain that phistication. they gained that sfophisticatio with help. it could have been any number of campaign consultants that have taken their talents and skills to foreign countries to assist them in their election and i think we ve got to look far and wide to determine who was engaged in the russians with that regard. thank you for hearing the call from san juan s mayor. we need better infrastructure down there. whatever we re doing, it s got to be more. i ll make that call. appreciate it congressman. let us know how we can help on our side. very good. president trump s tax plan who benefits the most. talk to a member senate committee next. how much do you think it cost him? $100 a month? $75? $50? actually, duncan got his $500,000 for under $28 a month. less than $1 a day! his secret? selectquote. in just minutes a selectquote agent will comparison shop nearly a dozen highly rated life insurance companies, and give you a choice of your five best rates. duncan s wife cassie got a $750,000 policy for under $21 per month. give your family the security it needs, at a price you can afford. since 1985, selectquote has saved over a million families millions of dollars on life insurance. is san juan mayor just told us that bureaucracy is getting in the way of helping people. there s a lot of supply down there, but it s not getting to people because of red tape. let s bring in someone who can make a difference there and talk to us about taxes and health care. republican senator john thune. in no way am i suggesting it s your problem, but you can be part of the solution. is there anything you can do to help massage this urgency that we need to abandon protocols that might be counter productive and get help to people down there in puerto rico. when people in power pick up the phone, you know what can happen. i agree with that totally. this is a humidity humanitarian crisis. it s an emergency. you need to take extraordinary measures. think the requests that the yor of san juan and governor of puerto rico are making for some waivers and for getting assistance down there as quickly as possible. we need to move heaven and earth and do what we can to assist the people suffering down there. it s only going to get worse with time. some of those steps are being taken. there s more we can do and we re trying to find out what that is and obviously that s with input from the leaders down there. senator, i m asking you because you re a well liked, well connected guy down there. if you want the office to get in touch with us and say here s what we found out. let us know. we re happy to work hand in hand to get more help down there. we get protocol has a place. bureaucracy has a place. sometimes it becomes a hindrance. let me ask you about health care as well. i get optimism. and truthful high p fufu futrut that s what graham says. that s what mitch mcconnell says. that s why you didn t have the vote. what s the president talking about. i guess you ll have to ask him. maybe he is thinking prospeck i prospect i ll. he s talking about one senator in the hospital. is he on the same page with you. if we had the votes, we would be votie ining right now. the votes aren t there for this. right now, we re focusing, shifting and pivoting to tax reform. eventually we will come back to health care reform. at some point we will have the votes, but the folks who count the votes up here know we don t. that s why we re not voting. so people are watching this, right. this is the kind of thing that makes them feel like you know we can t trust these guys. we can t trust what s coming out of our politicians because it s always a game and advancing perspective. what do you say to people about what to believe? i think a lot of politicians generally, chris, speak in aspirational tones. they re optimistic. hopeful. want to see good things happen. we all do. at some point that meets reality. reality in the united states senate is the need for 50 votes. where we are right no is 48, 49. eventually maybe if we continue to develop and work this we ll end up with 50 votes to move it forward. we agree something has to be done. the markets continue to implode and premiums sky rocket. that s not going to change. there is something that has to be done. the question is what is whand w the what is in the works and when is when we have the votes. not today. never easy to go in and say something different than the president. that can come with political cost. taxes, the president s big promise during the campaign was i m going to take care of the middle class. i know the rich usually win, but not with me. i don t need their money. i m not afraid to take them on. this has a lot in it this plan, there s a lot to be explained. going after the amt. getting rid of that. going after the estate tax. getting rid of that. cutting the bracket for the rich. that doesn t help the middle class. why lead with that. well, it s a comprehensive tax reform bill. there are a lot of moving parts. you saw it yesterday. the release of the framework. which i think has a number of measures that are targeted at middle income taxpayers in this country. the l the lowering of rates. child tax credit are all designed to bring much needed relief and put money in the pockets of working families in the country. comprehensive bill. one thing we know is the economy is sputtering along. we want to see growth rate get back up to 3%. when that happens, you get higher wages, better paying jobs. you also have to reform when u re doing middle class tax relief. you also have to reform make th competitive in the global marketplace. that translates into according to the congressional budget office better paying jobs for people in this country. all part of a package. the finance committee and you mentioned i serve on that committee the ways and means committee in the house will have to fill in the details. i will tell you this. the president and his team and leadership have made it very clear we want to maintain the progressivity and the tax code. everybody wants a tax cut. there are people that need it more than i do. thank you senator. always we can on the show. as we get the details. we ll dive more into this as deeply here as anywhere. promise you that. be well senator, let us know how we can help with the efforts to change the effort in puerto rico. we ll be in touch with the office. chris, a strong message from an nfl star amid the feud with the president. the challenge that

we need a lot of help. what are you hearing from your family and friends there? first of all, communication is probably the biggest frustration. it s so hard to get in touch with them. i finally got in touch with all i want to say about two days ago. that s a long time. yeah. we had probably a week without hearing from them. at least not directly. you knew they were alive. you had not spoken to them directly. everybody s fine, thank god. but it s not the same thing to talk to your cousins, aunts, grandma and know they re okay. especially because we re traveling so much and my staff is all from puerto rico. it s been a tough week. what is the situation where water is running low and food is running low. fuel electricity and fuel. they tell met lines to get $20 of gas. people are sleeping in their cars so they can get gas, get water, no batteries. it s hard. they know it will take long. people are starting to get frustrated. they re starting to lose patience. we want to make sure everything gets distributed quickly. that s a problem as we learned today. that s a real problem. they re struggling with that because of red tape and bureaucracy. where do you begin? when you land there next week what do you do. there s so much to do. i think the first thing is getting the goods there. making sure they get distributed. you know, i m making a personal financial donation. and i want to use sort of our media power that we have as entertainers to get the word out there. and to try to get help and people who know what they re doing to help out. not only to san juan, but all the different towns. that s the problem. pfr pr, y puerto rico, it s not just san juan. we want to make sure everybody gets the water distributed and all the goods. what are you calling on viewers to do? you want contributions? of course. they can visit the first lady of puerto rico, she has an amazing website called united4puerto rico.com. make your donation. the money going to the right place. i promise you. they can also go to cnn.com/impact if they want go through cnn to do it. what will it be like for you when you see what your beloved homeland is like next week? i know you ve seen pictures. do you think it will ever look the way you remember it. i m optimistic. i think it will. there s something about people from puerto rico. we re very happy. we won t give up. it s beautiful. the island is so beautiful. the beaches are always will always be. there the music. the happiness will be there. it will take a while. it will take a lot of patience and help. but i do feel it will eventually better than it was before. luis fonsi thank you very much for your message and we ll be watching next week when you go home. thank you very much. we have the good stuff for you

to leave hawaii for his crucial trip to asia, the goal? meanwhile, cracking down on north korea by turning the screws on china, can he do it? and republicans releasing their tax plan. they had an opportunity for big, bold cuts. did they miss it? for the next two hours, we re all over it. first to bryan llenas here in new york where security is the focus. bryan? reporter: good morning, david. as the investigation continues, so too does the mourning and remembrance of the eight victims killed in tuesday s terror attack including darren drake. darren drake was one of two americans killed. the 33-year-old programmer was on his lunch break when he was mowed down by that terrorist on tuesday. the wake is in new jersey today. five of the eight killed were friends visiting from argentina for their 30-year high school reunion at the argentine consulate in new york, surviving friends called for justices and for love to unite us all. the victims were bicycling together when they were struck. this as investigators continue to comb through the terror suspect s phone and online contacts. isis has claimed responsibility for the attack, but authorities so far believe the self-radicalized terrorist acted alone. investigators have spoken to neighbors at his new jersey apartment complex who say he was seen speaking to other men. his wife is reportedly cooperating with the fbi. she claims she did not know about the attack beforehand. they ve also questioned a 32-year-old use beck friend who reported by was called by the suspect before the attack. he has not been called a suspect. meantime here in new york city, the city is putting in has already put in new barriers along the very bike path that was used by this terrorist. some of these barriers are small like these. others are large highway barriers along the 57 intersections along this bike path on the west side of manhattan. this as security has been ramped up for the new york city marathon tomorrow. they have added more blocker vehicles, strategically placed vehicles put in and around the marathon to prevent possible vehicle strikes and protect pedestrians. we more than doubled our observation teams, our rooftop observation posts as well as our counter-sniper services throughout the boroughs, not just here in manhattan, and we ve also added more heavy weapons teams. reporter: and, david, among those of the victims were those 12 injured including a belgian woman who was here on vacation, an avid cyclist who was doing, cycling for charities all around the world. she lost both of her legs, the most severe injury of all the injuries. her husband and 16-year-old son were also among the injured. david. david: oh, that s tragic. and just to show the international quality of new york city, five of those kills were from argentina. i mean, this was a real it brings us back to 9/11 when so many international folks outside of the states were killed. bryan, thank you very much for that report. meanwhile, president trump is going to be departing hawaii for his first stop on a crucial asia trip. kevin corke is waiting for him in tokyo, and he joins us. kevin? reporter: david, my man, good to talk to you as we say good evening from tokyo, japan, as the president is now set to begin his 11-day visit here to asia. by the way, longest trip to the continent by an american president in more than a quarter of a century. as you know if you ve been following along, the president did make his way to the 50th state of hawaii before making his way to asia, stopping with the first lady, melania. the two had a chance to stop in honolulu, the president then had a briefing with pac-com and the two had a chance to visit pearl harbor. we re looking forward to learning more about that opportunity for the first family. the president is on his way to japan, then south korea, and he s in search of, david, a united front against north korea before going to beijing where the president is expected to push chinese president xi jinping to get tougher by i don t think yang. the president will also visit vietnam and the philippines, and he s extended by an extra day so that means a little extra time on the ground for myself and my producer. ivanka trump giving a speech on women s empowerment in tokyo friday before having dinner with prime ministership sow abe later that shinzo abe later that evening. now, as is customary the president will have talks with the prime minister during his time here in japan. he ll also have a breakout lunch and, of course, they ve got to play a little golf. the two men are are fairly good friends. he s also expected to meet with the relatives of japanese nationals who have been kidnapped by the north koreans. should make for a very eventful 11-day trip. for now, back to you. david: yeah, security is the focus of this trip. kevin corke, thank you so much from tokyo. well, mounting nuclear threats over there but terror hits right here. the worst terror attack in new york city since 9/11, it shook new york. of course, new york is resilient, it came back strong and, of course, tomorrow is the marathon which is going to be running despite the terror threats. lieutenant colonel tony schafer joins us and national security analyst walid phares. let s start overseas if you don t mind, gentlemen, with the north korean threat. colonel schafer, what do you think the president hopes to get out of this trip? two things, to simply reassure the allies that we re there with them, especially, you know, vietnam, south korea, the philippines all are are within, essentially, targeting range of the north koreans. so i think he s got to reassure them. and most importantly, david, to the point of the repeated discussions regarding who helps north korea, china. china has to be essentially made very much aware of the consequences of any continued support of north korea regarding the consequences of a hot war. and also i think the president has to be very clear that one of the things i think he can threaten them with and he should is most favored nation trade status. they fear that. you guys know on the economic side that s a huge issue, so that s something i think the president needs to say. your continued status as a most favored nation is in jeopardy if you continue to support korea. david: particularly in asia, people don t think of asia when they think of terror. they think of something here, in europe or the middle east, but it s growing in asia, and i think of a country like the philippines in which particularly the south, several islands, they re having a terrible time with terrorism. i imagine the president s going to try and get a united front in asia existence terrorism. absolutely. being in the philippines will be a great opportunity to speak with their leadership and show the world, show the asian countries that the united states is also partnering with these countries fighting terrorism. the philippines have the longest experience in fighting the jihadists, but also keep in mind that indonesia, malaysia although not on the trip this time are all facing the same terror threats. so it is important to show that the united states has asian partners in the fight against terrorism, absolutely. david: colonel schafer, let s get back to terrorism here at home because one of the most disturbing things that happened as a result of the investigation of the terrorist, the suspected terrorist is to find out about his diversity visa. right. david: and the fact that not only did he come here based on this lottery program, but he was able to bring over 23, about 23 of his own relatives. right. david: this whole program seems to be in serious need of reorganization or at least rethinking, right? well, we know for a fact that isis is looking for this sort of opportunity. and, yeah, look, i don t think you mentioned that some of the victims of the attack were argentine nationals. nobody in the world would be considered concerned about argentines coming here because, first off, they don t have a deep-seated hate of america. i think that s the first requirement, david. anybody who essentially is telegraphing the fact that they are not going to be assimilated, we have the rethink. and this diversity program does not allow for that. it essentially is a free ticket in. and secondly, to the point of this chain migration, look, my family came here at the beginning of the last century from spain. no one is anti-immigration. people that i know are anti the idea people can come here and murder us. there s nothing in the constitution about diversity. there s everything about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. and that liberty includes the freedom from fear that you re going to be mowed by a terrorist in new york city. so this is where i think we have to rethink our priorities. i m sorry, i disagree with chuck schumer and all these guys wanting diversity. the security of the american people has to come first. david: what about the status of this particular suspect? the president says he wants him charged as an enemy combat about the. do you think that s wise? combatant. we ve had that discussion, if you ll recall, over the past 15 years, seven years under the bush administration, eight years under the obama administration. we need to make a final decision here between the administration and congress, are we at war against the jihadists and the terrorists orbit? if we are, you should the laws under the laws of war, you have the detention centers. if you encounter and apprehend a terrorist. now, the technical aspects of it, what if that terrorist is an american citizen, an american person or not? that s a technical legal discussion. but the principle of having a detention center while we are at war, that fits under international law, absolutely. david: walid phares, lieutenant colonel tony schafer, thank you, gentlemen. thank you. david: meanwhile, no prison for bowe bergdahl. he won t be spending a day in prison despite pleading guilty to desertion. one of the soldiers who was wounded while searching for him calling this, quote, completely unacceptable. we re going to hear from that man himself. but first, what does the gop tax cut bill mean for you? lauren s on it. reporter: hey, david. some people are going to be very happy if this tax cut passes, but others are not. we are going to break it all down for you and, david, there s a lot to break down. we re doing that next. it s me and my best friend only new tena intimates has pro-skin technology designed to quickly wick away moisture to help maintain your skin s natural balance. for a free sample, call 1-877-get-tena. how much money do you think you ll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we ll keep oooooohhh! you stopped! you re gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let s plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. david: so this was the week of the big unveil of the republican tax bill. of course, it could change a lot. it s going to be marked up next week, that means that all the members of congress get to throw their two cents in. but the real question is what does it mean for you folks out there. fox business network s lauren simonetti breaking it all down for us. reporter: i love how speaker ryan held up the postcard and donald trump even david: i know. you wonder whether it s going to happen. reporter: well, the senate has to get their hands on this first. but house republicans did release their tax bill at last. largely viewed as a win for business. it slashes the corporate tax rate to 20% to make the u.s. more competitive globally. it also allows for the repatriation of foreign profits overseas, bring em back to the u.s. at a much lower tax rate. it would allow immediate expensing of the investments that owners do put into their businesses. now, this is where it gets a little bit more complicated. the individual impact of the gop house plan gets complicated but in many ways less ambitious. it cuts the number of tax brackets to four but maintains that top 39.6 rate for the high income earners. if you file as an individual, you ll pay 12 president up to $45,000 of income, 25% up to 200,000, 35% up to half a million and in the top rate for anything other that. as for married couples, let s switch the screen, earning less than $90,000, you get that 12% rate. families with incomes topping $1 million, they re taxed at nearly 40%. to a appeal to middle class families and, quite honestly, to criticism from democrats, there is a doabling of the standard deduction. a bigger child tax credit of $1600 ands and also $300 for additional family members. so the math is a family of four, they save ant $1200 a year on their tax bill not to mention, as we just said, you can do it all on that postcard. but the bill is seeing perhaps the most criticism with the proposed elimination of state and local deductions. that would hit high-tax states, new york, illinois, california, essentially taking our income to help pay for tax cuts elsewhere. here s another hang-up, the proposal to cap the new mortgage deductions at $500,000 instead of a million. well, again, that could hit states with expensive real estate, new york and california among others. the bill does preserve the property tax deduction of $10,000. it keeps 401(k) plans as they are, and it would go into effect january 1, 2018, meaning, david, that it s not retroactive. david: no. and that bothers a lot of people too because they were hoping for a boost going into 2018. reporter: i know. david deafd all right. a lot of critics are saying the republicans missed an opportunity to go big and bold. joining me now is forbes opinions editor john tammy and gary call palm. they have the house, the senate and the white house. everybody thought with that they re going to go as big and bold as, say, the democrats went eight years ago with health care, but this is kind of a watered-down bill, isn t it? you know, bigtime. i think a missed opportunity. david, let s just talk numbers for a second. they re talking about a $1.5 trillion tax cut over the next ten years, but over the next ten years we re probably going to send them between $45 and $50 trillion. so this is small potatoes. and i just have to talk about the successful people out there. you know, this whole demonizing of the rich, these are the people that produce. these are the people that hire. and all i know is when taxes are high, the rich aren t affected. do you know who s affected? the middle class. why? because it prevents them from becoming rich because every step up the ladder they re paying more and more taxes. so i just think a big missed opportunity. i think they re scared of their own shadow. this whole class envy by the left, i think, has gotten into their head. i hope they go backwards and go big and bold again. david david john, i knew there was a problem when back in september the gop said it s going to be at least as progressive as the current tax code. now, that progressivity has caused the economy to stalker it s caused, actually stall, it s caused a widening gap between the richest and poorest, and you wrote a piece many forbes, i love this piece, that the middle class is actually going to pay more if you try to tax the rich more. explain. well, it goes on what gary says so correctly. sr.ly, people, the rich sorry, people, the rich drive economic growth. you get rich in this country by doing something remarkable. you can only do something remarkable insofar as those who already have means back you with investment. this isn t a tax cut, it penalizes the innovators with an even higher rate than 39.6% and also says to those who back them that you re going to pay the same penalties before the capital gains rate. there are no companies and no jobs without investment first. this tax bill does nothing why elect republicans if they re going to do worse than the democrats? david: let us know how you really feel sometime, john. [laughter] he s so clear and connect. but, lauren, the wall street journal came out with an editorial yesterday that said that this is just half a tax plan to which a lot of people are saying, well, half a tax plan is better than none, right? well, and that s the issue. this is where i would disagree with john and gary in many ways. you need to get this through. this tax plan has to pass. and to get moderate democrats or i didn t anybody onboard because in the senate republicans can only lose two votes you need to make sure that the middle class get something, and i think in this bill they get something. the editorial in the wall street journal, the way i read it, david, was they liked the business side of this david: right. that s the half that they liked. the corporate tax rate from 35 to 20%, but they had issue with the individual side, and quite frank lyrics it s confusing. frankly, it s confusing. david: gary, the reagan years, there was a tax cut that everybody remembers with rosy glasses, and it did lead to tremendous growth in the economy. it didn t kick in until 1983, and that was a problem. it was delayed, it was phased in which was a disaster. it also left the top tax rate on salaried income at 50%, so that also had some sticking points to it. but in the end, it led to the richest and the poorest americans doing quite well. and he took the high end down to 28% david: that was in 86 though, remember? that was after several years. right. but my point is, ultimately, when all was said and done it unleashed everything great about the economy. and i ve got news for you, the economy s not washington, the economy is the workers and the people in the country. david: all right. guys, we ve got to leave it at that. john, i owe you one. thank you very much. [laughter] by the way, forget funding the dossier, did clinton s cash curry her favor at the dnc? this former dnc chief dropping a big bombshell. is it time for an investigation? . casual fridays at buckingham palace? surprising. what s not surprising? how much money nathan saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. our recent online sales success seems a little. strange?nk na. ever since we switched to fedex ground business has been great. they re affordable and fast. maybe too affordable and fast. what if. people aren t buying these books online, but they are buying them to protect their secrets?!?! hi bill. if that is your real name. it s william actually. hmph! affordable, fast fedex ground. we heard from donna brazile that what many people had suspected for a long time has turned out to be true. the dnc secretly chose their nominee over a year before the primary elections even occurred. this shines a light on how deeply broken our campaign finance laws are. david: that was a democrat, folks, speaking out after former dnc chair donna brazile dropped a big bombshell calling into question the influence of clinton cash on the dnc. president trump calling in the real story on collusion, or at least one of them. is he right? here with us is former hillary clinton communications director adrian el rod and the washington examiner s emily so, emily, now it s more than just donna brazile. we have tulsi gabbard, liz warren who also said the system is rigged. this is an upheaval of major proportions for democrats. right. i think it s really important that we ve had donna brazile, they ve made their voices clear that they think this was bias on behalf of the dnc. the dnc s line is this is standard operating procedure, it only applied to the general election, it was open to other candidates, but there s evidence that it did apply to the primary and the agreement that bernie sanders signed was different from the one that hillary clinton signed. that all aside, we already knew there was massive bias towards hillary clinton at the dnc during the primary election. that is what led to debbie wasserman schultz s resignation. donna donna brazile herself, while she was vice chair, feeding debate questions to the clinton campaign. that s why the bernie sanders and the donald trumps did so well because people are so sick of see what elites are making their decisions for them david: on either side. you re absolutely right. by the way, there was to nothing in the excerpt about that cnn incident with donna brazile. but it s not just hillary that was the target of some of her negativity, it was also president obama. she said he left the knc in terrible dnc in terrible shape, that it was in debt partly because he hadn t done his due of fundraising. if the standard bearer for the democrats is not hillary clinton, not president obama, who is it right now? look, secretary clinton and president clinton have been raising money for the democratic party for 30, 40 years. when she decided david: but it was in debt going into the election. that s donna brazile s point. you re exactly right. so when she decided to run for president, she knew one of the first orders of business was rebuilding the democratic party, raising money so she could get the party out of debt. she and bernieing sanders were both presented with the same joint fundraising agreement which, by the way, is very standard in presidential campaigns on both the democratic and republican side. she chose to enter into it, he did not. that s fine. but she was able to harness her donor network to rebuild the party david: okay, adrienne, we can argue these points, and that s fine. my real question is it s clear with donna brazile making very negative comments about hillary clinton, with liz warren doing the same and now tulsi gabbard and other democrats, she s no longer the standard bearer. well, i want to clarify something. these people are not making negative comments about hillary clinton, they re talking about the process. and chairman perez did come out yesterday david: adrienne, we don t have much time. who do you think is the standard bearer, and it could be more than one person right now for the again contact party. if you think it s hillary, that s fine, but who do you think it is? no, i think we have a lot of leaders in our party. we need to focus on the election on tuesday and the midterms david: emily, that s, the question that i ask which i couldn t get a straight answer from adrienne on is the real question right now and, frankly, i know that republicans are chuckling at all this because it s nice for one party when another party has trouble. but who are they going to be existence? are they going to be existence a left-winger against a left-winger like bernie sanders or somebody who s more mod facilitate it affects the way they campaign as well, right? a book could be written about the disaster of the dnc and how there s competition between the people who supported bernie sanders and the hillary clinton people, there s so much to talk about there. but frankly, you know, i m a conservative. and like you said, i don t want to chuckle at this. i don t want9 to laugh because there s a lot of people in this country who don t agree with me, that s fine, and their voices were minimized by what was going on at the dnc. that s not okay. the dnc needs to, obviously, figure out how it s going to do a better job representing the voices of the wide spectrum of democrats in this country because they re not being served by their party right now, and it s sad. david: aide adrienne, are democrats going to get rid of the whole superdelegate system? because that was the focus of a lot of the ire of democrats. look, that s something that the secretary i m sorry, chairman perez will be focusing on moving forward. david: what do you think? is are they getting rid of the superdelegates? i have no idea. i want to make one final point david: very quickly, adrienne, you re not answering my questions. i have not had enough time david: you ve had plenty of time. bernie sanders care carried the caucuses david: everybody had enough time. thank you very much, ladies. despite pleading guilty to
bergdahl will not be spending one more day in prison. is that right? is that fair? a soldier who was wounded searching for bergdahl is here with his reaction. my dad s. grandma s. aunt stacy s. what are the reasons you care for your heart? qunol coq10 with 3x better absorption has the #1 cardiologist recommended form of coq10 to support heart health. qunol, the better coq10. david: well, it was clearly one of the most something sentences from a military court that we ve ever seen. army deserter bowe bergdahl walks, gets a dishonorable discharge but no jail time. a former army sergeant who was wounded searching for bergdahl joins us now on the phone. sergeant maria, thank you very much for your service. your thoughts when you first heard that bergdahl will get no more jail time. well, it was slightly bittersweet. i was glad for the fact that he was going to get a dishonorable discharge as well as a reduction from e5 to e1, but upon hearing the no jail time, that was disappointing, to say the least. david: you were a witness against bergdahl at his sentencing hearing. what did you tell the court? i told them the basic what happened during the mission that i was on, searching for certain missing soldier in afghanistan. i told them about the extent of my injuries and just the slight touch of any type of ptsd, mental things i had as well. david: could you describe for our audience the extent of your physical injuries? a rpg struck my hand and rifle, but it did not explode, so my right thumb was hanging off a little abnormally. not completely off or severedded, but it was just hanging off. my trigger finger was split open like a hot dog. my middle, ring and pinky finger were split at the knuckles, and then a second rpg and i got another piece of shrapnel in my left elbow. david: master sergeant mark allen suffered a head wound, right? correct. david: and i m just wondering when you were searching for bergdahl, you were told that this was a soldier who was captured or this was a soldier who was lost? what did they tell you about the search mission? just that this particular fella had walked from post. that was pretty much it. after that there was, well, you know how soldiers kind of, to kind of make up their own stories, there s a onen of different bunch of different reasons why people thought. but the foremost thing was that he walked off. david: so did you have any suspicion at the time that he might have been deserting? no, none at all. david: so in other words, you had no doubt in your mind about the mission. you were committed to that mission. well, i think the mission was fubar and how we all think of it first off, but i had no idea any of the gravity of the whole situation behind it. i just knew he went off, and we got tasked to go look for him. david: president trump has called the decision, the sentencing, a disgrace. would you go that that far? he says it nicer than i would, but, yes, i would go with that. [laughter] david: what you would say we couldn t put out on this broadcast, in other words. oh, absolutely not. david: so despite your deep disappointment with the sentencing, is this an individual that you could ever forgive in your heart, or will you go to your grave wishing him the worst? yep. i ll go to my grave wishing him the worst. i have a constant reminder every day of him when i, you know, can t do certain things with my hand. i can t, i can t how do i say this nicely? i can t correctly clean myself doing certain things, and, you know, that s always going to be permanent. master sergeant allen, that s going to be permanent. he s not going to come back. this is permanent for us. chief petty officer hatch, this is permanent for us. we have these injuries and scars that are always going to be permanent. and yet he s going to be able to walk free? the balance scale seems to be not right. david: sergeant morita, thank you so much for talking to us. we really appreciate. we wish you the very best, and we hope that the community of all ex-service people are your support group right now. i m sure they re helping out. yes. fellow comrades, they re i ve been talking with them, some other fellas too. i do have and my family as well. i m glad i m alive. i know i m thankful about it. but the fact remains that i m in this position because of one person, and now he s technically scot-free. david: understood. sergeant, thank you very much. we appreciate you being hered today. you re very welcome. david: god bless. so now we know the terrorist s phone was full of isis propaganda. this guy had videos, pictures, you name it. so is it time for social media companies to help stop it? also, republicans say the tax cut bill is going to help small businesses, so why is one small business group claiming to represent 55,000 small businesses coming out against it? with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight. four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won t go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. your rates won t go up just because of an accident. only new tena intimates has it pro-skin technologyiend designed to quickly wick away moisture to help maintain your skin s natural balance. for a free sample, call 1-877-get-tena. david: well, we re getting word now of the extent to which the new york city terror suspect had thousands of terror videos or images on his phone, so do social media companies need to do more to help the fight against terror? joining us now is former cia analyst buck sexton and national security expert rebecca hine ricks. good to see heinrichs. good to see you both. buck, the devil works in many ways, and he s now he s learned how to use the internet, and i m wondering if it s too late to turn off that part of it that benefits terrorism. often times the initial contact is made on open social media sites, and it s not clear from that contact that there s a jihadist intent, never mind the fact that you re talking about a tremendous amount of individuals all over the world, and it s a whole lot of monitoring that would have to be done by any social media platform. but that initial contact is often followed with an end crypted encrypted end to end platform that is much harder to monitor and certainly something that they could not just adjust the terms of service and determine they will have teams of people looking at it because it is encrypted. this problem has been around for a while. i don t see any solutions to it in the near term. i think they re just trying to redouble efforts that are, quite honestly, already underway. david: rebecca, a larger point here. do you think that saipov, the terror suspect, would have been radicalizedded even without the internet? it s a good point. these would-be terrorists are being persuaded this is the way to go. it s not an easy solution. there needs to be a full strategy, a countermessaging strategy to get these vulnerable individuals who are going to be persuaded to radicalize, we need to have better surveillance here in the united states so we can see the sorts of things that are happening where they re becoming radicalized over time. this particular individual had friends and relatives who have now said they saw him being radicalized over the last couple of years. what were those signs? those individuals need to be comfortable going to the authorities so we can catch these individuals before they re full-blown terrorists. david: buck, speaking of surveillance, one of the mosques that this guy attended regularly had been surveilled by the new york city police up until 2014 when a number of lawsuits by folks like the aclu shut down that surveillance system. was that a big mistake, shutting down surveillance of the particular mosque that this guy was in? i m somebody who worked for the nypd intelligence division while that kind of surveillance was ongoing, so i m quite familiar with it, and there were legal battles specifically around what was allowable, what was not. there have been guidelines that were in place for a long time that were specifically intended to protect the first amendment rights of individuals from any community, including the islamic community david: but, buck, there must have been a specific reason why that mosque was targeted. they don t just target a mosque without having some kind of evidence that there s something i actually can t speak to the specifics of that case because i m not allowed to, but i can speak to the specifics of the realities of what they were doing in the city of new york involving cases like that. it s always around individuals where there is a reasonable suspicion of criminal activity, it s done with a lot of legal oversight. and the fact of the matter is that the aclu and mayor bill de blasio decided for reasons of political correctness a program that i think was done well and efficiently and was trying to keep all new yorkers of all backgrounds safe was curtailed. and there are people who are going to be asking the question now could more have been done if we d taken a more aggressive approach specifically with the nypd, and those are valid questions. david: rebecca, when the ira was doing their bombings and their killings back in the 80s and so forth, some of them had connections with local catholic church. some of those catholic churches were surveilled. so the idea that this has never been done before, that it s focused just on islamophobia is wrong, isn t it? oh, no, it s totally wrong. listen, all of these islamist terrorists were radicalized in some way either in their mosques, by their family members, online propaganda david: by the way, this is a picture of the omar mosque, the one in particular that the new york police had been surveilling, and they had to stop it in 2014. who knows what they could have found. maybe they would have found some evidence against this guy before he killed people, right? the best thing they can do, we need law enforcement having good relationships within these communities so that peaceful, pluralistic muslims can, again, they re the ones that are off victims of these terrorist activities. they need to feel free to speak with, cooperate, talk to law enforcement so that we can catch these guys before it becomes a major problem. david david right. but political correctness will kill us. we can t let that happen. we have to have an honest, rell list aric realistic understanding of what the threat is. intelligence is the name of the game, we ve got to have it. david: well, buck, now we ve got this guy. the question is what we do with him. the president says he s got to be labeled as an enemy combatant. that gets rid of the lawyers that could help him and help his lawyers get hold of evidence that the government might have that might undermine our security, right? well, first, it would be unlawful enemy combatant which i think is an important distinction because he s not somebody who was taken off the battlefield fighting in uniform and, yes, you would be able to skip around some of the processes. quite honestly, and i think the administration s come around to this position, it would be a quicker process to go through a federal court proceeding with him because we ve done this before. we ve done it with plenty of very serious terrorism cases in the past. and given that this is a self-radicalized individual, there doesn t seem there s no contact with terrorist entities abroad, certainly in person. we haven t seen anything that makes us think he s a treasure-trove of intelligence. so putting him into the federal court system and possibly bringing a death penalty case, that is going to be a quicker process and more likely to get justice. david: rebecca, we ve got to go. i m so sorry. rebecca heinrichs and buck sexton, good to see you both. well, will democrats get onboard with tax cuts now that the top rate on the wealthiest is not being cut? democratic congressman emanuel cleaver is here next. [vo] when it comes to investing, looking from a fresh perspective can make all the difference. it can provide what we call an unlock: a realization that often reveals a better path forward. at wells fargo, it s our expertise in finding this kind of insight that has lead us to become one of the largest investment and wealth management firms in the country. discover how we can help find your unlock. david: so democratic leaders are bashing the gop tax plan even though it includes concessions to try to attract democratic support. joining us now is missouri s democrat congressman emanuel cleaver. congressman, great to see you. thank you for coming in, appreciate it. good to be here. david: you have an increase in the child tax credit, a doubling in the deductibles for singles and families. the top rate remains the same so the richest folks in america are still going to be paying their 39.5%. a lot of that seemed to be done to kind of attract some moderate democrats. you re kind of a moderate. what do you think? well, let me preface my answer to your question by saying that, you know, i think we re making a mistake in congress, and the entire country is participating. and that is when we do these party bills where legislation is drafted without any involvement of the other side and then there are no hearings held, simply you mark it up and send it to the floor david: by the way, were you critical of the democrats when they did that with obamacare, or some of that? yes. i think there were 36 hearings. but, yes, that s what i was about to tell you. i ll criticize my parents if they did it. [laughter] and the reason is, and e said this i said this at a democratic caucus meeting the other day, you know, there s something called the theology of the identical harvest, and that is whatever you plant, that s what s going to grow. so if you do something with one party only participating, including the aca, what you re going to have is the just waiting for the chance when they get back in power to undo it. and that s no way to run a government, and that s where we are now. now, having said that, let me say that i think there are some good parts to the legislation david: like what specifically? we do need some well, i think, for example, i like the fact that we re going to eliminate the taxes that, what is it, opportunity tax where people historically have to pay $2500 or would pay $2500 receive $2500 in tax returns if they pay out of pocket expenses for their child the go to college. the problems are plentiful. one, if you say the tax rate remained at 39%, it did except there was a new road bell bill so that major corporations could take advantage of taxes that previously were designed for small businesses. and i think that that is going to hurt us, and that s a particularly strong reason that we re going to have a $1.5 trillion increase in the federal debt and deficit david: but you know what a lot of people would say, congressman, is that it s kind of rich for democrats to be arking that it s going to arguing that it s going to increase the debt when it doubled under president obama. we only have 30 seconds. is there anything, how, what is it going to take to get you in this car, you know? what one thing would you like to see the republicans do that might make you sign off on a tax plan? quickly, we only have 30 seconds. well, i think the estate tax which is galling to me. i think if they left it as it is now where i think that would be a good point. david: all right. the estate tax. that s one thing, i appreciate it. you did it. congressman, thank you so much. yes. david: have a saturday. good to be with you. david: coming up in the next hour, ambassador john bolton on what donald trump needs to do as he heads to asia. and the man who killed bin laden, rob o neill, on deserter bowe bergdahl now home free. and new fallout after a twitter employee goes rogue and deletes the president s account for 11 minutes. what should twitter do now? we re back in three minutes. 234-rb . after the worst terror attack in new york since 9/11, one lawmaker, christian gillibrand is calling for federal funds for protected barriers on popular areas throughout the united states. tracy is in times square with details. this would mean a lot of extra federal funding. absolutely. and david, you know, right now, behind our camera, several dozen n.y.p.d. officers are getting ready to go out on foot patrol. and the n.y.p.d. has one of the largest counterterrorism forces of any police departments in the country. you know, the mayor, mayor bill
of kim strassel spelled out just this scenario in a column written last july. quote: what if it was the democratic national committee or hillary clinton s campaign? what if that money flowed from a political entity on the left to a private law firm, to fusion, to a british spook and then to russian sources? kim joining us now along with wall street journal columnist and deputy editor dan henninger and columnist bill mcgurn. kim, how did you know? [laughter] good sources. the wall street journal always has good sources. david: i ll say. but you spelled it out exactly. was there anything that surprised you in the revelations this week? no. it didn t surprise me other than the fact that now we have a lot of people in the democratic party claiming that they didn t know any of this. somebody had to have arrangedded this. but arranged this. but i think the import of this is that we ve had the story or the press has had the story completely backward for the last year. all the allegations have been that it was donald trump s campaign playing footsie with russians. we still have no evidence of that but, rather, concrete evidence that it was democrats playing footsies with russians and enabling them to enroil our election and upset our democracy. david: bill, i m wondering, do you think this was done by design; that is, the clinton campaign or the clinton team knew that all these shenanigans were going on, and they figured, okay, let s deflect it to trump, and the press will go along with it? yeah, i m not sure a they knew about it. the most qualified candidate in history, of course, had no idea this was going on under her own roof. to me, the bigger question is we ve laid out the part where the dnc and the campaign are basically funding an opposition project with help from the russians. the other part that s even more damning, i think, is what was the fbi s role. david: right. because the fbi, the question is did they use this to get fisa warrants to start spying on trump said david that s the question. it s the big question. and they apparently were going to pay christopher steele until his name surfaced and they backed out of that. so i think there s a lot of questions at some point jim comey s going to have to go back there. the fbi has been stonewalling just like the hillary people and fusion on this. and this week they sort of announced a breakthrough. david: well, dan, first of all, this is more than just shenanigans, by the way. i mean, laws may have been broken here based on who paid what for who paid whom for what. but also, to bill s point about the fbi, i mean, if the fbi actually used this kind of phony dossier god knows how much of it, if anything, is true in there but that they used that as a basically for fisa warrants, for wiretapping for lack of a better word on the trump campaign, that s a scary scenario. it is. it would suggest that the fbi was manipulated by the russians, by putin david: and by the dnc. well, by the dnc which itself was being manipulated. so i think this has to be opened up in open congressional hearings. i firmly believe that there are a lot of democrats in washington who knew this was going on, who knew this story was going to break, you know? for debbie wasserman schultz who was the head of the dnc at that point to say she had no idea it was going on, let s understand something. that law figure, perkins coy which contracted and paid fusion would not have made those payments without the permission of their climates, a, the democratic national committee and, b, hillary clinton s campaign. and these were big payments. so it s really implausible for them to deny that this was going on. david: kim, does anybody inside the beltway believe hillary when she says she didn t know about it or debbie wasserman schultz when she said i mean, somebody knew about it because somebody paid fusion gps, right? i think everyone obviously at least had the suspicion that this was the case, that it might have been the party and it might have been the campaign. because that s the only way also to explain the efforts that congressional democrats have been making to protect fusion from having to give up this name. and, look, i think that that s another really important unanswered question here, is that the only reason this came out this week is because fusion was trying to appease house investigators that want to get ahold of its banking records. and house republicans are still trying to get those. and that could be another big bombshell david: right. in here, to see who else was paying fusion at the same time. is there russian money going in there? there could be a lot more to unwrap here as we dig into this. david: well, dan, there is no there is a lot more to unwrap not only in this story, but the other story, uranium one. we now know that the kremlin, while they were trying to get while the russians were trying to get 20% of our your rain yum reserves, they were involved in tremendous racketeering schemes, kickbacks, bribes in order to do that, and the fbi knew about this before the deal was signed. yeah. the fbi had an informant who had penetrated the russian operation for about five years, and the justice department this week has given permission for this informant to speak confidentially to at least three congressional committees that are trying to get to the bottom of how the united states confirmed or allowed the russian company to gain control of 20% of the united states uranium. david: and, bill, the fbi comes in play here again because it was robert mueller who was head of the fbi when, apparently, they let this deal happen that probably shouldn t have, because it was involved in iraq tiering. iraq tiering. should sessions recused himself from russia. should mueller do the same? [inaudible conversations] i don t think it s a, necessarily a stain on his integrity of what he did, but he clearly is not in the position to be looking at the fbi given his david: so he should resign i think he should [inaudible conversations] i also think further to kim s point about why this came out, i think we have to give some credit to devin nuñes and the house intelligence committee who s taken all sorts of incoming. and this stuff came out because he pursued it, and there s still a subpoena in court looking for the other things. and he gets almost no credit. he s been much maligned. and now i think we learned why, because they re a little afraid of what he s going to find out. david: a lot more to come on both of these stories. when we come back, the house passes a budget blueprint clearing the way for the gop s final push on tax reform. but with some key sticking points remange, can the remaining, can the republicans deliver by year s end? we ll ask economist art laffer coming next. he s green money, for spending today. makes it easy to tell you apart. that, and i am better looking. i heard that. when it s time to get organized for retirement, it s time to get voya. when heartburn hits fight back fast with tums chewy bites. fast relief in every bite. crunchy outside. chewy inside. tum tum tum tum tums chewy bites. hi. so i just got off the phone with our allstate agent, and i know that we have accident forgiveness. so the incredibly minor accident that i had tonight. four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won t go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it. we re really unified on what we want to do. we want tax cuts for the middle class. we want tax cuts for businesses to produce jobs. this is great unity. david: president trump this week declaring great unity in the republican party when it comes to tax cuts. the house narrowly tonighting the senate s budget blueprint on adopting the senate s budget blueprint clearing the way to deliver a tax package to the president s desk before the end of the year. but with battles brewing over state and local tax deductions, a new foreign minimum tax and maybe even a higher tax bracket for those making over a million bucks, can republicans keep their eye on the prize and get a clean bill with across-the-board tax cuts over the finish line? let s ask economist art laffer. he served as an adviser to president ronald reagan. allart, good to see you. good to see you, david. david: why not just clean, across-the-board tax cuts? that s what they should do, but congress it s all these different views and everything, and everyone wants to get their little piece in, so it really becomes a complicated mess. but you re right, we should have one simple tax, corporate tax rate from 35% to 15%, get rid of everything else, pass that. then go to these other items. a lot of those are good as well, by the way, david, they really are. inheritance tax should be gotten rid of, expensing of capital purchases should be done. but i think you should pass the big engine of growth here is the corporate tax cut, and that should be just by itself. david: and, you know, there were a couple of new taxes mentioned. that s what scares me a little bit. i know. david: there was a higher tax bracket that may or may not happen on the wealthy, there s something called a foreign minimum tax, details about which are still not exactly known. are we adding more to the tax code instead of subtractingsome. i don t think so. i don t think that s going to happen. there s no taste, i don t think, no appetite for raising the highest rate. it makes no sense east, i mean, you can t hate job creators and love jobs. and if you want middle class prosperity, you ve got to make the employers happy to hire these people, to give them jobs that they otherwise wouldn t have had, to raise the wages that we all want for the middle class. that also requires the cooperation of the upper class and lower. i mean, you know, we re all in this stuff together. as kennedy said, a rising tide raises all boats, and this is a kennedy-esque tax bill that is really wonderful. david: i m wondering if all republicans know that because when they first came out with their tax plan a couple of weeks ago, they had a line saying it won t be any less progressive, and it s progressivity that has widened that divide between the richest and the poorest whereas across-the-board tax cuts lift all boats, as you say. of course they do, and i don t know why they pander to some sort of political ideology, but they do. if they want bernie sanders votes, that s what they should say. if i noticed the vote there, you say it was really close, and it was four votes difference, that s true. but i m willing to to bet there were a bunch of republicans who voted against that who would have switched being in fair if the vote had gotten closer. but 100% of the democrats voted against it which is just shocking. this is a kennedy tax cut, a pro-growth thing to help the people of america, and every democrat votes against it? that s unconscionable. they know better, and they proposed cutting the corporate rate themselves, and yet they still just hold on to this obstinate, just anti-trump position, and it ll come back and bite em you know where. [laughter] david: well, since, art, since there s going to be no democrat voting in favor none. david: why then is it necessary for some in the gop to pander to their notions of progressivity? i don t know. i mean, it just doesn t make any sense. if a republican thinks the democrats are going to vote for him because of one little addition to this bill that s pandering, i think they re very mistaken. this is an all-out political war, and the winner in 2018 and 2020 will get the bacon and will carry the issues home. i personally think the democrats are putting themselves at great risk in 2018. they ve got a lot of exposure in the senate, and i think they could well lose a lot of seatses in the house as well. so they are at risk doing this type of obstructionist type of policy. so i don t know why they re doing it. i mean, being i spent half my life as a democrat and as a republican, and clinton, i voted for him twice, i m a kennedy democrat. i don t know why the democrats don t go back to their roots and vote for this bill and get america growing and going again. it s what they should be doing, and i don t know why they just oppose it. i think they re going to pay a very heavy price for that. david: let s be optimistic oh, i am, it ll pass. david: i know that very well and assume that it sen done before the end of the year and retroactive to [laughter] will the economy grow fast enough in 2018 for the republicans to pull out a win in the midterm elections? yes, i think it will. i already think there s a lot of signs of positivity in the economy. if you look at the stock market, it s risen quite substantially. if you look at the growth rate in gdp, i mean, it s not good by any means, but it s a lot better than it has been over the last 16 years. it s just a lot better. so you re seeing a lot of signs of improvement. and i think trump s doing a great job with the executive orders and dismantling aca, and i think if this bill passes, we could have a very sound 2018 and a very nice stock market. and that will inure very much to the benefit of the republicans in the elections in 2018. david: by the way, stock market hasn t been doing too badly in the past year that s what i mean, yeah. david: it s been up to record levels. art laffer, great to see you. we needed your optimism. we needed a shot of optimism here, and we got it well, you got it, and i think it s going to be great, and i m really looking forward to a very long, big boom in america. david: thank you very much. thank you, david. david: when we come back, watch out, changes to our 401(k)s could be another sticking point to the tax bill. so what should we expect when gop leaders release details next week? (hard exhalation) honey? can we do this tomorrow? (grunts of effort) can we do this tomorrow? if you have heart failure symptoms, your risk of hospitalization could increase, making tomorrow uncertain. but entresto is a medicine that was proven, in the largest heart failure study ever, to help more people stay alive and out of the hospital than a leading heart failure medicine. women who are pregnant must not take entresto. it can cause harm or death to an unborn baby. don t take entresto with an ace inhibitor or aliskiren. if you ve had angioedema while taking an ace or arb medicine, don t take entresto. the most serious side effects are angioedema, low blood pressure, kidney problems, or high potassium in your blood. tomorrow, tomorrow. when can we do this again, grandpa? well, how about tomorrow? ask your doctor about entresto and help make tomorrow possible. when i was too busy with the ask your doctor about entresto kids to get a repair estimate. liberty did what? yeah, with liberty mutual all i needed to do to get an estimate was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila! i wish my insurance company had that. wait! hold it. hold it boys. there s supposed to be three of you. where s your brother? where s your brother? hey, where s charlie? charlie?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you. liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance. david: a battle over 401(k)s, another issue that could derail republicans as they push forward on tax reform. though gop leaders were reportedly considering limiting the amount of tax-free dollars you could put into your own accounts, the president appeared to take that off the table this week tweeting, quote: there will be no change to your 401(k). this has always been a great and popular middle class tax break that works, and it stays. so what should we expect when the house unveils details of its plan next week? we re back with dan henninger, kim strassel and wall street journal editorial page writer, kate odell. dan, what will the plan look like, and will we see any changes in 401(k)s? i don t think we re going to see too many, that s sort of horse trading before this begins. this is what people should focus on. what they should focus on when this bill is released next week is, essentially, what president trump himself has been emphasizing over and over, speeches out in the country, he just did it earlier on our program, and that is two things; a tax cut for the middle class and, secondly, reducing the corporate tax rate to 20%. art laffer said 15, but i think it s going to be 20. the point on the corporate side is so that businesses reinvest money back into the economy, capital investment to create jobs and raise wages. that s your real benefit for the middle class. those are the two things they re going to try to do. now, they re operating within certain senate rules on how much money they can afford to lose over a ten-year period. and a lot of this horse trading like the millionaires tax and so forth is intended to try to get them under that cap. david: so, kate, should we just ignore all the stuff i was talking about with art laffer, the millionaires tax and a foreign investment tax, etc. it s just noise? eventually it ll come out to a clean version of tax cuts like dan described? here i think the 401(k) story has gotten a lot more attention than it deserves. as for the millionaires tax, i think that s something we should watch closely. when the details come out, it eventually comes into something that david: like the amt tax. exactly. so i definitely think that a 44% top rate could have the practical effect of moving the top rate back to 50, where it was when reagan brought it down to 28. and i would also note with what art was saying is that high marginal rates are enjoying a renaissance on the right. one thing that s going to be part of this plan is an expanded child tax credit which is expensive, does nothing for growth, and republicans will have to find money to pay for it. david: so, kim, is it conceivable that our tax code could be worse in terms of raising the top rate? well, yes. and this is a terrible idea that republicans are contemplating, especially because they re doing it a largely to give themselves cover from democratic complaints that this bill is somehow tailoredded to the rich. tailoredded to the rich. the thing is no matter what they do with this bill, they could put an 80% tax rate on the highest earners, and democrats would still make that claim. david: yeah. what they ought to be doing and letting guide their decision is what is best for the economy. and, i mean, they re also dealing within the complicated parameters that, as dan said, they do need to find some way of paying for the other bad policy like the childcare tax credit. they d be wiser off getting rid of some of those giveaways, lowering rates for everybody, and then as dan said, making sure that that s how people in the middle class benefit from a growing economy. david: but, dan, is it possible that if they put in the wealth tax and i call it a wealth tax because it starts out as a millionaires tax, but as kate said, eventually it hits a lot more people, people making 250,000 or whatever. is it possible that that could actually get in there and that it could stall economic growth? it could get in there. i don t know whether it could stall economic growth, and here s why, david. for one thing, by putting in a millionaires tax like this, they re expanding the camp. i ll explain. the swamp. one of the biggest problems was something known as gucci gulch referring to tax lawyers who create loopholes for rich people. david: that s true. and if you raise the tax, the super rich are going to hire lawyers to figure out ways to create loopholes, and you re back to where you were when we started. david: exactly. the millionaires find ways to get out of them. right, and who doesn t, somebody who earns a million dollars for one year because they cashed in on a lifetime of thrift, they get hit because they can t afford what everyone else can afford. david: one would think that somebody like donald trump could make that point, kim. well, maybe we ll see him do it. i d like to give the president a little bit of credit here on tax reform. he got hit a lot because of his comments on 401(k)s with various people like bob corker saying, you know, just let us do our job, you do yours. i mean, i think he does have some say, by the way, in a bill that republicans are asking him to sign. but he has been out there unlike on health care which he botched. but he has been out there trying to connect this to the average american family saying, you know, corporate rate, we lower them, that s going to come out better for you in terms of higher wages. david: right. you know, lower these rates and it s going to be good for the economy, more jobs. he can do that, and he should be making that case as well that you just mentioned about the importance of maintaining a good tax code here and how that helps americans. david: well, i ve got both fingers crossed. let s hope it happens. coming up next, president trump calling his meeting with republicans on capitol hill this week a, quote, love fest, but that s probably not the term at least two gop senators would use to describe the relationship. our panel s take on the intraparty brawl coming next. we have great unity. if you look at what happened yesterday at the meeting, we had, i guess, virtually every senator including john mccain, we had a great conversation yesterday, john mccain and myself, about the military. i think we had a i called it a love fest. it was almost a love fest. maybe it was a love fest. david: great unity, a love fest, that was president trump describing tuesday s lunch with senate republicans on capitol hill, but just hours before that lunch tennessee senator bob corker fired up his war of words with the president calling trump, quote, utterly untruthful. and just hours after the lunch arizona senator jeff flake announced he will not seek re-election, took to the senate floor to denounce the president s behavior. take a listen. reckless, outrageous and undignified behavior has become excused and countenanced as telling it like it is. when it is actually just reckless, outrageous and undying undignified. and when such behavior emanates from the top of our government, it is something else. it is dangerous to a democracy. david: and we are back with dan henninger, kim strassel and bill mcgurn. some would say this is the essence of a true democracy, that you have dust-ups like this every general ration or generation or so. what do you think? i would say if paris is well worth the math, tax reform is well worth president trump not p responding to every insult, you know, in a tweet or something at least until after the vote. look, the good news, i think, in all this for someone like me that cares about the output is i don t think either corker or flake are john mccains. in other words, i don t think that their personal pique with the president is going to translate into a no no vote on tax reform. i think corker said so explicitly, and i can t imagine jeff flake voting against tax reform either. david: all right. well, kim, the gop establishment has never liked outsiders. donald trump is many things, he is clearly an outsider. he prides himself on that. but they attacked ronald reagan, they viewed him as an outsider even though he was a politician, even a abroad, i mean, maggie thatcher was attacked by the establishment of the torrey party, the conservative party in england. is that what s going on here, or is there something else? well, there s no question that donald trump s arrival in the party has put a lot of strain on that party. you know, in terms of policies, by the way, and policy differences not to mention his style, president trump s style. jeff flake, when he was on the floor, mentioned two issues in particular, immigration and trade, on which he vastly differs with the president and where trump s positions are a lot more populist than traditional republicans like flake. i think the question that has to be asked of guys like jeff flake though is in light of the influence of president trump now exercising on the party, do you bow out like jeff flake did, or do you stay in the party and try to pull it back in the direction that you d like to see it go. now, jeff flake had to make his own decision. he s decided that he s done with the senate. but there are other republicans that are pushing back, and that is why you see this ongoing tension and these feuds. david: well, dan, to kim s point, clearly, i mean, jeff flake is a very likable guy. when you re called likable, when that s the first thing people say about you, you don t have a lot of weight, and he didn t have a lot of political weight inside and, frankly, in arizona either. was this just a matter of him pulling out not necessarily because of trump, but because of his own political situation? i think it was a lot of both, and i think people, people like senator flake, senator corker get blown over by these trump tweets. others like thom tillis said, look, i buy a box of popcorn, go up in the stands and watch. it s not going to change, right? but this is anish there is an issue i think the president himself should be aware of. i was very struck in the fox poll that came out this week, trump s approval had dropped from 42% in september to 38% this month. that s a four-point drop david: although i should mention that that poll ended before these revelations came out about hillary and the democratic party or and uranium one. but his disapproval should not be falling like that. you ve got a strong economy, a strong stock market. david: true. he s right that the republicans now are determined to pass tax reform. he s done a lot on the deregulatory front. he s right that he has accomplished a fair number of things. his approval rating should not be and i think it is almost entirely attributed to these tweet storm fights with people like senator corker. it is a complete distraction, david. david: bill, what will the republican party look like at the end of the trump administration or at least the first four years? will he succeed? because, clearly, he s trying to shake things up inside the beltway. right. david: will he succeed or will they succeed? well, i think the big question is on policy. i think dan s right. he has a lot of achievements. i supported donald trump over hillary clinton mostly because of just the supreme court pick. he s been pleasantly surprising in a lot of other ways. i think he has an excellent cabinet. i think the regulatory effort is very good. they missed the ball on obamacare, but if he gets tax reform through, i think he gets to a lot of place i think for a lot of people watching donald trump it s kind of like watching a drunk staggering home, and he might fall in a swimming pool here or get hit by a car, but he s actually kind of getting where he wants david: oh, he sure is. and if he gets tax reform, i think the whole debate changes because it s not just the political achievement, it s a way to reverse the economic decline under obama. david: kim, quickly, let me just ask we talked about substance of issues will the republican party look different at the end of four years of a donald trump administration? well, how does it not? [laughter] but, i mean, look, i think one thing that s important here is that these tweet fests aside and the fights, for the most part most senators and most house members on the republican side now are, in fact, taking the thom tillis approach as, like, you can t stop him from doing it, we ve tried. we re going to put our noses to the grindstone and instead try to get things done, watch the show. and that s, i think, the way they re going to have to approach this. david: all right, gang, thank you very much. still ahead, president trump takes on the opioid crisis, but critics are saying it s not enough. our panel weighing in next. to homes than anyone else in the country, we never forget. that your business is our business the united states postal service. priority: you you or joints. something for your heart. but do you take something for your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is the number one selling brain-health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember. looking from a fresh perspective can make all the difference. it can provide what we call an unlock: a realization that often reveals a better path forward. at wells fargo, it s our expertise in finding this kind of insight that has lead us to become one of the largest investment and wealth management firms in the country. discover how we can help find your unlock. a trip back to the dthe doctor s office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home. .with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%. .a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you re allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you d rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. this epidemic is a national health emergency. as americans, we cannot allow this to continue. it is time to liberate our communities from this scourge of drug addiction. we can be the generation that ends the opioid epidemic. we can do it. [applause] david: president trump taking action on the opioid crisis this week, declaring a public health emergency, opening the spigot for more tax dollars to treat addiction and overdoses. but is this declaration enough to combat an end themmic that claims tens of epidemic that claims tens of thousands of lives each year? so, kate, is president trump targeting the right causes of this crisis? well, let s start with what he did on thursday which is, basically, to declare it a public health emergency which is distinct from a national emergency which opens up fema david: and, by the way, democrats say it s not enough, what he did. right, exactly. this order is not accompanied by new funding, though congress could decide to appropriate it. i think we need to think seriously before throwing more money at this problem. basically, this is a multifacetedded social crisis that includes overprescribing. doctors need to get more educated on how to prescribe opioids for appropriate durations of time, but it s also moved on to heroin and fentanyl, and we don t have much information about what kind of treatment works best. there are a number of layers to this issue. david: dan, about 250 million prescriptions, opioid prescriptions, are made every year by doctors. i m told by dr. see gal and other doctors who have looked into this that s way too much. it s so easy for doctors just to write an opioid prescription very often for more pills needed for a particular injury or illness. is that a place to start? yeah. and president trump s directive is going to start with better education for prescribers instead of prescribing 30 days worth of oxycontin if you have a dental, you might only need three or four pills, and that s one of the problems, for sure. people with intense or chronic pain do want relief. the problem with the opioids is that it also gives everybody a kind of a high, you know? that s the addiction. you get adirected. fdi addicted. fdi, the national institute of mental health are working hard to create significant pain redelivers that don t also give people this relievers that don t give people this high. that s the medical side. the social side is people who are just using this stuff like heroin and fentanyl for fun, and they don t want a lot of them to be helped. david: bill, there s another side to all of this, and you look at a state like colorado which has an increase in opioid deaths of over 900%, a huge increase in deaths, and it s also a state that has done more than most states in liberalizing drug laws. is that a coincidence? i don t think it is. i think it points to two broader issues. donald trump gave a great speech on this. it was very humane and compassionate david: talked about his own brother s alcohol addiction. i think all of us know someone in our lives who has been lost to addiction or reclaimed his or her life from addiction. so there was a measure of hope in that. second, though, to kate s point i think, there s kind of a false, a false sense out there that the choices between cracking down in law and treatment, right? and that the answer is just to find the right treatment. but sally satel, one of our friends david: a psychiatrist psychiatrist from harvard, she s pointed out the rubber really meets the road in treating people because some people reject treatment. a lot of addicts reject treatment, or they go in for a little period of time, and then they drop out. now, there s a way to do things. there s a way some of the drug courts, for example, will expunge your record if you complete rehabilitation and they have different steps, but as she points out, if this is going to be successful, we re going to have to address the issue of sort of benign paternalism and coercive treatment for people that refuse it. david: kate, everything gets embroiled in politics these days, and this issue s no different. the media spin is that the problem is really because of a conspiracy between politicians and drug companies, and there was an appointee who got embroiled in the middle of all of this, the man who was going to be trump s drug czar, damn marino, was accused by 60 minutes and the washington post of being in collusion with drug companies. what did you think of all that? right. this story was really long on innuendo and short on facts. what basically happened was that a bill that passed last year long after the opioid crisis started basically put some safeguards on drug enforcement processes that were basically cutting off all shipments. so, basically, if you were shipping to a pharmacy that was obviously involved in suspicious behavior, dea was also cutting off all of your shipments even if many of them were legitimate. so this was hitting wholesalers, and congress was trying to find a better balance. i would just note how disingenuous it is to suggest that republicans are conspiring to deepen this social problem. david: everything is political these days. thank you very much. when we come back, is xi jinping the new mao tse-tung? as president trump prepares for his first asia trip, a look at the chinese leader s latest power grab and what that means for u.s./china relations coming up.o how long do you think we ll keep oooooohhh! you stopped! you re gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let s plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. david: well, just as president trump gets set to kick off his first trip to asia, chinese communist party this week affirmed president xi jinping s status as the most powerful ruler since mao tse-tung, handing him even greater control over the world s second largest economy and setting the stage for him to dominate politics in that country for decades to come. in a tweet late wednesday, president trump said he called xi to congratulate him on his, quote, extraordinary elevation. the two men also discussing north korea and trade on that call. let s bring in author and asia analyst gordon chang. gordon, i m old enough to remember mao tse-tung, but he was an absolute dictator. he killed millions of people. is that what s to come here? well, in some ways, it is. xi jinping believes in a state-dominated economy. that s inconsistent with the notions of reform and opening up which was deng xiaoping s policy, mao s successor. xi jinping, obviously, believes in mao, he talks about him, he makes pilgrimages to mao places in china. this is not a good thing. and the important issue here is he s made himself powerful because there is no obvious successor that was chosen at the 19th communist party congress, and that means we could go back to the terrible in-fighting of the first years of the people s republic. david: a lot of people, including myself, by the way, gordon, thought if yo liberalized you liberalized the economy in china, that the political system would become liberalized as well, and this seems to contradict that. well, it certainly does. and what we have seen over the five years in xi jinping s first term is you have state monopolies being created, recreated david r david so he is going back on the free market changes, he s renationalizing, getting the government back into things that it had gotten out of. yeah. there are fewer opportunities for foreign companies, they re trying to restrict that in china right now. and that really is a reversal of all the progress that we saw in those three decades. so for us, this is going to be a very interesting period. you have president trump going there, and i think that what he s doing is essentially going to say to shi gin ting now that you re in control, you have no excuse not to do certain things that we want david: what do you think about the president s sort of congratulatory note to president xi? i wouldn t do that. this was not a democratic selection of a leader. this really was a coronation on the part of a one-party, leninist state. i just would have stayed away from that entirely. david: but at the same time, you know, he s always negotiating, president trump. and you remember that moment when right before he hit syria with the tomahawk missiles, he actually had the president of china with him at dinner, and he kind of told him over a chocolate cake what he was planning to do that night. i think he wants to get the message to the president of china you can t get away with everything. yeah. and that was a very effective display of american diplomacy, because you had trump saying to xi jinping, look, i just attacked your ally, and you can t do anything about it. and i think that unnerved not only xi jinping, but the chinese political establishment. and that was really a good thing because we saw china move in a better direction for a few months after that. i think they had thought they were able to corral trump, and after that demonstration of american power i think that they lost their confidence on. that. david: there s another demonstration of american power going on right now off the coast of korea. we have three carrier groups this is unprecedented. i was talking to a general about this who said two is extraordinary, but when you have three there, it really shows you mean business. that s obviously focused on north korea, but there s also a message to china, isn t there? well, there certainly is because our diplomacy with regard to north korea has rightly been focused on china, because china has overwhelming leverage david: forgive me, but the message is also kind of, you know, we are the biggest presence in the pacific. you may be there, you may be right there, but they only have, i believe, two carriers themselves. they ve got one which is really a training carrier. you know, three american carriers permits three, you know, 24/7 operations, 365 days a year. and that certainly is a message not only to the north koreans, but as you say, to the chinese that the united states is willing to use force to solve this. david: is their economy as a result of the government getting back involved in stuff that it probably shouldn t be, is their economy going to spiral down? eventually it will, and now you have a systemic debt crisis on the horizon, because in 2016 there was an unprecedented increase in debt and an unprecedented pace of increase. so, you know, this is something that everyone is starting to talk about. even the governor of the chinese central bank talked about a minsk moment, the moment when asset values collapse. we had one in, you know, just before the crisis, right before what we call the lehman moment. china is heading to the lehman moment when everything falls apart. david: gordon chang, thank you very much. we have to take one more break. when we come back, hits and misses of the week. muck i. (cheering) a triangle solo? surprising. what s not surprising? how much money sam and yohanna saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. with flavors you ll love.re like new savory grilled mediterranean shrimp, topped with a blend of green onions, tomatoes, and herbs. and your favorites, like garlic shrimp scampi. now s the only time to try as much as you want, however you want em. so hurry in today. david david time now for our hits and misses of the week. kim, first to you. david, this is a hit to attorney general jeff sessions and his department of justice for finally bringing some accountability on the irs targeting scandal. everyone has known for years that conservative groups were singled out because of their views, silenced during election cycles, and yet the obama irs refused to take responsibility. the irs has now been made to settle in court and also to offer its sincere apology to those it abused. this is good news, exactly the kind of accountability and responsibility people expect out of washington. david: bill, what have you got? david, a hit to vice president pence who announced this week that the state department will stop funding humanitarian aid efforts for vulnerable religious minorities exclusively through the u.n. from this day forward, he said, the president and the white house are going to work with usaid and religious groups in the middle east in the places like that. these groups have been denied funding often from the u.n. and so forth. they re very effective. vice president says those days are over, so a big hit to the vice president for ending this and for america to deliver aid in a way that s going to matter to these communities. david: kate? this is a hit for senate republican leadership which is picking up the pace on judicial confirmations. the democrats have done everything possible to obstruct these confirmations, and republicans are finally able to get moving. so i think we can expect several confirmations next week including my home state of michigan s joan larson who is slated to head to the sixth circuit. david: dan, it s time for a miss. have you got one for us? i ve got one. [laughter] i m giving a miss to michael moore who is, in fact, the loud-mouthed anti-conservative activist, did a documentary back in 2004 attacking george w. bush. well, he has created his own one-man show for broadway bashing donald trump and telling his own life story. it s what we call in the business a vanity project. well, it flopped. it just closed on broadway, bye-bye, michael. david: i heard he got no more than 50 percent of an audience box office. yeah, it was terrible. david: that s it for this week s show. thanks to all of you for watching. i m david asman, catch me weekdays at 4 p.m. on after the bell on the fox business network. paul is back next week. we hope to see you then. fox news alert, special counsel robert mueller reportedly following the filing the first charges in the investigation into possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia. welcome to a new hour inside america s news headquarters, i m molly line. rick: and i m rick leventhal. no word on who could be indicted or what the charges might be, but the wall street journal reporting that authorities could arrest at least one person as early as monday. garrett tenney has this story from washington. reporter: well, rick and molly, there s all sorts of speculation going on about who the target of this indictment is and what charges they re facing. at this point, what we know is on friday prosecutors on mueller s team presented evidence to a grand jury here in washington, and according
mr. trump announced he will not recertify the iran nuclear deal. hasan rouhani he says is now more isolated than ever. what has the gop establishment done for this president? this is their opportunity to tell the world they are serious about national security. [cheers and applause] nationals win to-1. trying through the first song they play as rascal flats. just kind of digging right in right here. i love the remakes. welcome back to the couch. pete: thank you. abby: good to have you back, too. drink is a clean in the studio. there s cheese under the couch. pete: i always eat snacks. david: you miss all the kantian thinkers. pete: how are you feeling? abby: i m feeling well. what koster to do the weather. he put in a snickers bar and is not the realized he had to read the tea is about 15 seconds later. he s not even here, but i feel like he is. david: i was channeling my inner peak. pete: try not to do that too often. transfer yesterday the president had a busy week. pete: the president decertified the land deal. the health care executive action tax reform speech. you forget about the big taxes this week. and then the big winner for the nfl in addition to other things. the less distorted spinning and they are trying to wrap their arms around what is this guy doing? david axelrod, former senior pfizer was on another channel tried to get this explanation. take a listen. i believe the president thinks that this is shown in the water for filling his campaign promises for his base. i also believe that he is motivated by trying to obliterate the obama legacy, which is in part also chum in the water for his base, but also some other thing at play here that i don t have the qualifications to analyze, and it clearly motivates him. every time we talk about anything president obama did, he talks about it in this very caustic terms as if he s jealous or envious as the esteemed with which obama left office. old man peered i brought props. david axelrod brought up the dog whistle. i don t know what s at play here. i went and had a dog whistle so i can have it every time they go with this. i m not qualified to analyze government throwing in the old 25th amendment representative greeting is the president not fit for office. first of all, every president from an opposition party so it is clearly missing here. matches back, but this is a president trump campaigned on. talking about immigration, health care, tax reform. this is the core of his campaign message. this is so riled up the base. they wanted change. they wanted something different than being for eight years under barack obama. first of all, no one should be surprised. maybe their surprise because most politicians never follow through. in his multitasking. he mentioned the litany of things. there s many things to be done and on friday there were three different things by the time we got to 12:30 p.m. the president is doing what it s supposed to do. the only thing we got was merry christmas. listen, barack obama said he would fundamentally transform america and they try to do that for eight years through executive action. the american people don t want this free country transformed. we ll restore back to what it represents, standing for the things we believe in the national anthem as an example of that. president trump treated as the other day. the left has gone so far left it s unrecognizable. he s standing for what america has always stood for. he s not just on the left, though. republicans haven t been able to deliver his basic campaign promises. he s had to take executive actions he hasn t wanted to take. now there s a new show in town taking on some of those. abby: c-span and when he left the white house may be more influential than closed doors and he s been out there singing you better be on notice. here s what he said. there s a time and season for everything. right now it is a season of war against a gop establishment. [applause] it is no longer acceptable to tap you on ahead and tell you everything will be fine, just get these guys in office. this is my work. the establishment started it. david: as someone who s worked for steve, known steve for many, many years. we ve stood on stage is, god having done this. or something he s been saying for years by for the white house and trump. it the political classes for the american people. not the parties, that the political class. with a group of elected officials, many of them supporting establishment that has been in the business of keeping themselves in business, not serving the american people. that s why democrats crossed the line when trent broke through the blue wall. that s why they might not have voted for trump and said we need real change. the real changes you need to deliver for the american people. pete: that s why establishment republicans resist president trump almost as much oftentimes as democrats. but he didn t play their game. train for think about it. what happens and someone breaks the emergency class? everybody s running around. they don t know what to do. as it has been in washington d.c. when trump got elected. then in comes out in stephen many of us out there in the american community say guys come you didn t deliver for us. abby: are they cheering this on from afar saying we want the republican party to be decided. we want steve bennett to do this because it gives us potentially an advantage in the midterm elections? trade today might be because they ve got some big seats to defend. a lot of senators. you want your opposition divided if you can. david: but are they really divided? here s the difference between the liberal brain and conservative brain. the more liberal brain is blocked steps. they have to have lockstep quarter. we debated within ourselves. we have differences on policies and opinions but we are not afraid of that. we come together when we find a path that works. the republican party that goes back to its roots, the lincoln reagan party, one that says it is a conservative minded approach, slow to change, adapted when needed constitutional. if we do that, the debate is great because that s how you get better ideas. the problem is the old war dogs in washington have not allowed the debate. they are the establishment of the problem. pete: i don t know if the left has figured out that their solution is to run further to the left. david: good luck with that. abby: it s interesting to see the establishment republicans changed their tune a little bit as the midterms are approaching. we need the president s health. pete: that s right. they move to the right. a run to the center uncovered to the left. abby: another war waged on the nfl. that is continuing to be a topic of conversation. a soccer team in germany has players that are kneeling for the national anthem. this becomes before the meeting this week with roger vidal who is struggling to get this right with his right with this player is in in a bid to stand. this is not good for the business, for nfl. pete: it has been terrible. these guys say they are kneeling not during the american national anthem. in solidarity with tolerance and quality. the former nfl wide receiver made a donation amount of ssn for a long time. the number-one stated goal is a broad spectrum of issues. again, not just police brutality and community policing. it is also for what i m hearing from players directly involved in these talks amid telling me it s also about the gender pay gap, housing administration. so many things they are interested in an advocate for that they want the nfl to take ownership and use the nfl platform. abby: that s the problem. such a distraction with the disrespect for the flag and anthem. it s the first time for equal pay or housing. i have heard that before. i wonder what the american people are saying because i hear them everyday on my show. what do you think about this? i say that president trump took a stand for america, not just the flag and made the nfl taken me. trillions to e-mail us at fred@fox news.com. is it about gender pay gap or has it become a left-wing grab bag of grievances about this country and this president read if you re a leftist in the place was taking a because you re protesting whatever americans represent. we used to stand for things in america, not taking a not explain the problem. abby: we do want to bring you some headlines this morning. fox news alert. plains stretching up to 100 miles wide, forcing evacuations in southern california. at least 40 people have now died. the number expected decline as hundreds of people s will remain missing. the cause of the fires broke out last sunday. with a downed power lines played a role. harvey weinstein about sexual harassment. you were worried about making the decision to expel this in an emergency session yesterday. the academy releasing a statement saying the era of willful ignorance and predatory behavior of workplace harassment in our industry is over. and the mlb playoffs with the new york yankees taken a one to one tie at the bottom of the ninth. anything askew with the run to score all the way from her base. astros took it to-0 lead. chicago cubs in the home team proving to be just too much. [cheers and applause] abby: the dodgers 95-to win the series. the rest of america was cheered when houston scored there. you really cheer for the yankees. sorry about that. trying to president trump taking an ax to the obama legacy from obamacare to immigration that is far from finished. what s next? hillary clinton taking election blame game, i know you re surprised and you ve got to see who she s pointing the finger at this time. (cheering) a triangle solo? surprising. what s not surprising? how much money sam and yohanna saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. trailer for someone to let him in the media seem sure to president trump is successful in doing the residents do and his predecessors a president obama. here is andersen cooper. weighing in on now. president trump is taken to key president ships away. the legacy if you want to know a president trump is against you only have to look for president obama was for. but they should come as no surprise because that s exactly what he ran on. what should be the next step in the trump agenda? ned ryan is the founder and he joins us here. david: good morning, ned. or you re at all the time. why are you here? the complaint will address it. i m going to something. the interesting thing about what trump is doing. this is my shocked face as he s dismantling the obama legacy. donald trump will be reelected. he completely erases any and every last bit of the obama era and then moving forward when president mike pence is inaugurated in january 2025 that we continue to decimate the regional party. my hope is that donald trump is the republican majority in congress to figure out why they exist keeps pushing off what they can do without congress. the most important thing he can do right now to bring real health care reform can instruct secretary stephen itching to change the final one c. three code in regards to the tax exempt symptoms on train systems. they act as nonprofits that are making record profits. the northwestern hospital in chicago 2015 the 3.599 billion patient revenue in 2015 alone. tram can instruct mnuchin to change the code in regard to the hospital systems they have to start posting prices in the cause. when they had these debates about the health care system can we talk about how we lower premiums into debt bowls. those are the symptoms, not the causes. the insurance companies and medical providers want to see costs go up. if you have to start to have pricing and transparency, then we can actually see a patient centric health care system moving forward. there s a lot of other things he can do as well. one of the things the president has to do any fact about since been a candidate is reducing the size. you ve got a good government to the right size and scope. this guy scott pruitt and a thousand employees at epa. but we ve got a deep state of the bureaucratic structure. what does he do about that? is to instruct the office of personnel management, obm to have a plan i misplaced to reduce federal government. you know me. know me. o. the ecm s shutdown the department of energy and then literally blow up because guess what? the next president is going to undo what he s doing. you can completely devolve power edit pc. pete: ned ryan, thank you very much. we will have you on deck for more. it s happened again get another fast food worker refusing to serve our men in uniform. what the restaurant did after finding out. abby: plus, jimmy kimmel has taken on everything from gun control to health care. but he was really slow to respond to the harvey weinstein scandal. we will debate the excuse he gave. take a listen. you nervous?

take the politics out. it s so obvious when you see the way hollywood was so slow to respond i m many friends about harvey weinstein. i don t think it s a false narrative because we did see some for come speak about it. they could not change the script on thursday. another people and liberal have spoken out against harvey. we cannot have a false narrative is a liberal hollywood has done that. that sends a clear message that they will not tolerate the predatory behavior. however he s been doing it for years. he has and let us be clear here. we need to do this across the board weather and entertainment are hollywood we have president who said explicitly when you are in a position of power you can do whatever you want to win in. we did not have the gop excel and though we will have they expel harvey weinstein as soon as it comes out. we voted him as president. not about condemnation. there is not condemnation. we know they have been doing this for years. in hollywood. there s no evidence. you with his own words i said when you re in a position of power you can do whatever they want. that is he did not say abby: we are talking about hollywood here. xml, for example, over week ago, two wednesdays ago. they didn t touch at all a saturday night but they said it was a knee-jerk reason for why they didn t touch it the first time. you ve got bill cosby still in the academy award. the speaker picture of hypocrisy. call it for what it is, lauren. it s not just hypocrisy, but they do this for years and said nothing. they even had awards shows for they crack jokes about this. the hypocrisy is hollywood continues to talk about women s rights, talking about shielding from this type of violence, which i support her. but you ve got to call people in their own movement. and they said nothing. this is important because women have an agenda we don t speak against the agenda. it s important for us to talk about how it took them 48 years years 48 hours. it s not a sin. women know i will say it is so sad it s taking women in hollywood so want to feel like variable to speak out. with what is going on. we can agree about that. absolutely. abby: glad to have you with us this morning. it s only 6:30 this morning. three hours ago. steve bannon making it a prediction about his former boss. president trump is not going to finish this term. he will win with 400 electoral votes in 2020. abby: governor mike huckabee let us know if you think that is true. i m sure this guy take on now. and use your halloween costume offensive? what is not? stay tuned. when the soup i love said, honey, i am way too decadent for you. i came up with o, that s good! comfort soups like broccoli cheddar. with a twist of butternut squash. o. -mmm .that s good! this is todd hardy. a fitness buff, youth baseball coach-and lung cancer patient. the day i got the diagnosis, i was just shocked. the surgeon in dallas said i needed to have the top left lobe of my lung removed. i wanted to know what my other options were. and i found that at cancer treatment centers of america. at ctca, our experts examine a variety of therapies, treatments and technologies to identify a plan specifically for each patient. my doctor understood that who i am was just as important as what cancer i had. we talked about options. my doctor told me about a robotic surgery that was less invasive. we have excellent technology that allow us to perform very specialized procedures for patients who have lung disease. at ctca, it s all about what you can do. i feel fantastic now. exploring treatment options is at the heart of how we fight cancer. the evolution of cancer care is here. learn more about our treatment options at cancercenter.com/lung. appointments available now. when it comes to helping maria iher daughter,le mom. shopping for groceries, unclogging the sink, setting updentist appointments and planning birthday parties, nobody does it better. she s also in a rock band. look at her shred. but when it comes to mortgages, she s less confident. fortunately for maria, there s rocket mortgage by quicken loans. it s simple, so she can understand the details and be sure she s getting the right mortgage. apply simply. understand fully. mortgage confidently. the unpredictability of a flaree may weigh on your mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go, and how to work around your uc. that s how i thought it had to be. but then i talked to my doctor about humira, and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control. when certain medications haven t worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. with humira, control is possible. there was this really perfect storm. you had the comey ladder, the enormous impact of the russian e-mails, the release of them by wikileaks in the weaponization of god. these broad new phenomena. so you are still blaming others more than yourself. i take ultimate responsibility. i don t blame others. it s important that people understand what happened. it s easy to say she wasn t a good candidate. then why do they lead all the way to the end? why did i get dominated overwhelmingly? i think there were intervening events that caused people to worry. david: let s hire this guy. he s asking critical questions. abby: let s bring in mike huckabee, former governor, former gop presidential candidate. there you have it. she doesn t name anyone else. but everyone else. this is amazing. she says it s all my responsibility except for those 32 other reasons i can give you as to why it wasn t my responsibility. watching this interview i went through two boxes of kleenex just weeping for her because there is so sad to realize that this was stolen from her, that it wasn t her fault. some of the things that she said are just not true. for example, she still alleges he was the russian to store the e-mails whenever one who was close to it including wikileaks since they didn t get this stuff from the russians in the imprint stamped from the actual computers documents show he didn t come from there. it came from someone inside. why did she keep saying this? it is because it fits her narrative and let me quickly add the same rush into the tomb she said every side in the same rations that her boss, president obama said he could be more flexible after the elections. if there s such a great relationship with the russians, how do they blame the russians for her loss? abby: there is also not comfortable moment when they talk about president trump ali admitted to being a sexual assault or when asked about the weinstein situation and how her husband bill clinton what he did was in the past. anyone watching out was a little squirm in their seats. has president trump ever admitted to being a sexual assault or? i don t recall that s don t recall this ever happen but he lost his law license. he was impeached, admitted he lied under oath and there have been a number of women who have never been disproven to be wrong about their allegations regarding him. it is something that i don t know that we have to dig out. she keeps bringing up how pure, that she and her husband were. i just find it offputting and the best thing is to say i lost because i didn t work as hard. i get the impression that if she worked as hard to win the presidency he had to explain her loss in the presidency, she might ve won. transfer governor, steve bannon, my friend, you know him as well. he s made a bold prediction. i wonder how many democrats are put off by the prediction trouble when a second term overwhelmingly. i think he will for the same reason in 1984. the people who cannot stand donald trump, the problem is they continue to attack them and they don t realize they are really attacking the 53 million people who voted for donald trump and that just takes them in deeper. when trump gets into these wars of words with his opponents and people say i wish he would stop, look, the reason he doesn t and the reason it works for him is because people who voted for him see him as defending them, not just himself. the fact is that an improved economy, people going back to work, lower unemployment rate, record stock market, which means retirement of teachers and police officers and others now amount to something. all of these factors. this is that people genuinely care about. if he continues to do the things he s doing on the foreign-policy front and gives this world a safer platform, of course he s going to be paid in it is going to be a huge margin. abby: you just triggered every single member of the media. i usually do. popsicles, puppies and play-doh because they need to go to save space. good to see you. have a good sunday. turning out to other headlines. a family vacation in heartbreak after their 8-year-old takes a deadly fall from the deck of a cruise ship. docking talking in my handle and all of a sudden he saw them several floors. witnesses describing the chaos. it is crazy. you heard a sound and then people started screaming and running everywhere. abby: the gross brush to the hospital where she died from his injuries. still unclear to outside her to die. a burger employee out of a job after refusing to serve two police officers. denison police chief talking to facebook saying officers were cursed out by the employer expressed hatred for police. i don t get into politics. swift action was taken and the employee no longer works there. erica mora trump sitting down for their first interviews after having the cute baby boy and talking to judge jeanine about their new role as parents. i don t know how i could ever love anything more than our doubts. we love our dogs. you know this. i think we might have a new number one in the house. iran says this is the time you need to cherish and a change so quickly. we are trying to do our best to take it all in. abby: dogger baby, going to have a tough time. they call him luke. we will cost now to rake rake meat is not a cutie, just a good dude. beating the dogs this morning. abby: it s hard. it is. fire danger today although little bit less than yesterday. temperatures over the next couple days to remain really warmed. we ll be back into the mid-80s or so. take a look at this. friday and saturday coming in too much of california. a lot of moisture to northern california bubble increase the mushroomy atmosphere to southern california and that s the good news. today with one stone cutting across a central part of the country. when showers from the mississippi river valley eventually in the great lakes. a little snow further offers the north did temperature wise this is where frontiers. anywhere to the east of that another very warm day. a little bit more like fall. i m not ready for it at all. we traded five terrorists to get them back. to my disgrace to researching bo bergdahl expected to admit what we all know, that he deserted his post in afghanistan. he tells us what we can expect next. abby: mitch mcconnell set to meet with president trump tomorrow. there s a new movement now being led by conservatives. david: kind of been going on for a while. 9 out of 10 couples prefer a different mattress firmness, so we created the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort, your sleep number setting. you can even see how well you re sleeping and make adjustments. does your bed do that? the most amazing part is they start at $699. that s $200 off our queen c2 mattress during the final days of our fall sale. ends sunday. visit sleepnumber.com for a store near you treated to tomorrow, disgraced former army sergeant bo bergdahl expected to admit to the court that he is a deserter. abby: after trading fire pterosaurs returned to existing to press suggest he will plead guilty to desertion in this behavior rather than stand trial for being a fellow soldiers are not in a stand in 2009. the next best lead the special forces search for the former green beret commander. fox news contributor and author of a great book, warrior diplomat, michael waltz. great to see you this morning my friend. good morning, david. david: here we have the new cases we talked about. the importance of the plea for desertion in this behavior before the enemy and what it means. well, so we don t actually know when we won t know until tomorrow whether bergdahl entered into a plea bargain with prosecutors. they are actually entered with convening authority over the entire case and by military law that s not allowed to influence the judge coming to his own conclusion about what the senate should be in the general takes the lesser of those to if there was a bargain. so what i m looking forward to seeing tomorrow is at a minimum from the court-martial proceedings, forfeiture of all benefit them back pay actually, someone has hundreds of thousands of dollars built up since his time in captivity and no veterans benefit at all and a dishonorable discharge and managed certainly should not be classified as a pow because pows give special benefits medical benefits for the rest of their life. i want to see all of that strip away and have not held in the same room or same senate with people that served honorably and thought abroad for this country. trade do all that matters, but will this guy ever walk free or is he destined to live the rest of his life in prison? fitness behavior which he will plead guilty to a not essentially means he endangered his fellow soldiers which he absolutely did including my soldiers in me comes with a life sentence and that s what will be very interested to see whether the judge gives him a life sentence, whether he plea bargain for something less than whether the authorities give him some type of time served for his five years in television and have connie captivity. abby: you were so close to this. it is personal. in your opinion, what is justice? i look at folks like the family of the lieutenant that i testified next to who don t get their son back. there are men who don t get to live at all. much less even enjoy a hot meal in prison. to me, just as his life in prison. pete: absolutely. time and then lost looking for him are the cost. we have to remember. there s a lot of focus on whether people died or were hurt directly. i know from the fact that happening. but hasn t mentioned are all the soldiers across all of afghanistan who didn t have the resources they need, in all of those other pieces because they were all diverted and the hostages abroad today that they are still negotiating for and the terrorists are expecting a trade. david: thank you, my friend. do you and all the work you re soldiers did. the precedent. what an easy perspective he has. pete: at all sharp in preparing the nfl owners to slave owners. jerry jones decision, in many ways with the talent. kevin johnson calls this nonsense and he ll join us live. traders still undecided about what to wear for halloween? one put together this helpful flowchart to make sure it not offend you. you never know. welcome back. is your halloween costume effective? if asher, the good students at ohio state have a flow chart to help you. transfer headdresses appear white, but costumes making fun of president trump are fair game. pete: more on this. i ve been trying to follow this. what s this all about? you can even go. these students for university administrators say it s not about who s right, is factual, but who can claim offense to do most things do most things do most things do not list the methods hierarchy on college campuses. so they look for anything they can claim to say that they are more offended because that gives them special status on the left in college campuses. i don t know who s right. who is the most offended? things like this are funny, but how are they going to translate? my thing with ohio state, this is what college is about. they are actually turning this does into real, real problems. absolutely. for those people that are surprised when they see three and a canvas, they say words are now violence. people are surprised that many go and see what s happening and it s almost surprising it s not even crazier. these students think of words, costumes or violence against them. it s not preparing them for the real world. abby: there s going to be a lot of people dressing up as donald trump. not a nice way. they say the politically charged gas doesn t make fun of trump and then it says do it. pete: but if it doesn t make fun of trump you better be careful that you re wrong. david: can a liberal dress up as barack obama if you are white. i don t even want to go there. abby: not answering that question. pete: making fun of conservatives, good. anyone else, not allowed. abby: i m going to be myself this year, see how that goes. coming up, saturday night live unveiling its latest attack against kellyanne conway, turning her into a clown. transfer plus, abby said staub and talks to us about sam gorka and david bossie all here this sunday morning. from capital one. now, i m earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. what s in your wallet?

abby: yes, ceo howard schultz. pete: they don t taste good. abby: or not a pumpkin spice latte guy. trade for black coffee. i don t like cream. abby: he scream at the little touch of coffee. good morning to all of you. happy sunday morning. another busy one. a busy week with president trump tackling everything from tax reform to health care, talking about that in the ambien deal. trading for a win with the supreme court vacating the executive order on immigration. he s really, really taking a tough stance. he said busy week in washington. i said busy week in the white house. washington can t seem to figure anything out. fulfilling on the campaign promises. this president said he was going to do on the left in the so-called mainstream media but a bunch of former obama advisers and they are trying to explain what might be the motivation. here is what david axelrod had to say about it. i believe the president thinks that this is chum in the water, fulfilling his campaign promises for his base. i also believe that he is motivated by trying to obliterate the obama legacy, which is in part also chum in the water for his base, but also some other thing at play here that i don t have the qualifications to analyze comment that clearly motivates him because every time he talks about anything that president obama did, he talks about it in these very caustic terms as if he s jealous or envious of the esteem with which obama left office. i think i was watching an snl skit. snl actually did a skit about this. they were talking about how the president is changing all the policies. going so far to change the things put in place at the white house as well. a big week, folks. we are getting rid of everything obama did. health care, iran deals, ripping out old the vegetables and michelle obama s garden and planting. love does not get. pete: it s funny. transfer that is actually funny. train for remember the lunch program in l.a.? pete: it s funny because it s absolutely true in my guess would most americans do? they don t never been a gardens in their backyard. most americans love mcnuggets and if they could plant them, they would. what this president does as well, he s in touch with the pulse of regular people. it s why something like merry christmas comes to them for the anthem, also called mainstream media doesn t understand it, bake it in a frenzy. transfer whatever you want to call it anything that resonates with americans. you go through this country. we all do. people think much differently. what matters to them as the kids go to soccer or football or baseball. can i afford this? my taxes are coming out. the americans deal with kitchen table issues. sorry, they are just not there. every new administration that comes than try to reverse policies. president trump ran on all of these issues one b. should be surprised. it should be a compliment if democrats are that it means he s doing something to make them mad, that is trying to reverse the policies not because he hates barack obama but because he s passionate about the issues and wants to execute them. train for when you get rid of the prior presidents policies it s racist, but it s okay. abby: he had every right to do that when he came in office. pete: barack obama bring on a fundamental transformation of america. i want this country to be different than the 43 previous presidents. i don t believe in it the way they did. what donald trump is doing is saving going to fundamentally restore america to its original vision is. david: make america great again. we are a great country. by the way, hillary clinton and i guess the father country. abby: issues still on a book tour? david: here is what happened on british television with hillary clinton playing the blame game. this really perfect storm in so you had to call me letter, this indoor enormous staff, wikileaks. you are still blaming others more than yourself. no, i take ultimate responsibility, but i think it s important people understand what happened. when i decided to run for president some years later, the other side knew they had to tear me down. i made some mistakes they took advantage of, but they also engaged in this really horrible, relentless persecution of me in the used online media, social media to carry those messages and they re aided and abetted by the russian. rootless persecution of me during the campaign. david: this is the problem. clinton is disconnected from the american people and that s why she lost. instead of going after both, she went after a message narrative and americans are sick about it. abby: that s what governor huckabee says. if she had worked hard on the american book tour in blaming everyone around her, maybe she would ve won the election. she says about my responsibility, except for the 32 other reasons as to why wasn t my responsibility. if the temerity to blame it on the russians. then the outcome of the same rations with whom she set the reset in the same russians that her boss, president obama said he could be more flexible after the election. if there s such a great relationship with the russian, how do they blame the russians for the loss? if she works hard to win the presidency as she had to explain her loss of the presidency, that she might have won. that s true. you talk about how out of touch he is. in the campaign she hadn t driven a car for two decades. she s driven a car since the election. abby: that interview last a lot of tough questions. david: that reporter did his job. i bet he never gets a second interview. abby: pete: she won t come on fox news channel and the answer actual questions but she will go to the liberal media. this guy asked actual questions. she avoided the test dates, tough topics. abby: maybe that s exactly what happened. when you re not a real address things have gone to be honest, it s tough to win elections. train for you can tell people what to think that they are going to think what they want when they go in the voting booth. abby: you can smell authenticity. david: president trump resonated with people. if you are had an engine plant, you know at least i can hear this guy and see him. abby: voters want people to be real. they want to relate to them and feel like they want to be real people. if you are in michigan, you know some friends at fox news.com. david: we did that a couple times. abby: busy morning. other headlines we are following. a fox news alert. 100 miles wide, forcing evacuations in northern california in this as we learn at least 40 people have now died there. the number expected to climb as hundreds of people still remain missing. the cause of the fires that broke out last sunday still investigated as officials look into whether downed power lines may have played a role. keep an eye on not one. motion picture academy kicking out harvey weinstein is the top of the organization making the decision to expel the disgraced hollywood producer in an emergency session yesterday. the academy releasing a statement saying this is hard. the era of willful ignorance is predatory behavior at work is harassment in our industry is over. vice president pants and former gp joe biden and eight virginia governor s race. upon watching this more closely. rallying in front of coal country voters. he s pro-jobs, progrowth, pro-american energy, pro-life, pro-second amendment. you name it. ed gillespie is on the right side of every issue. abby: bite in spending by an event during this week he had democrat. the mlb playoff seeding at the houston astros taking a one-to-one tie. that is when they miscued by yankees gary sanchez allowed a score of the way from first base. astros win. now to l.a. where the dodgers take on the cubs for the home teams just too much for the defending champs. put the dodgers on the board for the first time. abby: dodgers win 5-2 invade the series 1-0. good game. pete: major league baseball players are the best. transfer that is baseball. that s what i love big mitch mcconnell, senate majority leader to meet with president trump tomorrow. is a new movement throughout the bitterness being led by conservatives. one of those conservatives joins us next. pete: in this restaurant is for us to shut down just because americans put america at the president. transfer the former white house chief of god strategist steve bannon. give up, skeletor! you re finished! curse you, he-man, you interfering imbecile! give us one good reason we shouldn t vanquish you to another dimension! ok, guys, hear me out. switching to geico could save you. hundreds on car insurance. huh, he does make a point. i do like to save money. catch you on the flip, suckas! geico. because saving fifteen percent or more on car insurance is always a great answer. the transfer of former white house chief strategist steve bannon declaring war. we need to move with urgency. the president of the united states deserves respect and deserve support. you can come to a microphone and say i m not going to vote for mitch mcconnell for majority leader. pete: strong words. so to me to discuss the path forward. some conservative groups want the leader out over inability to pass the agenda appeared cbot party pictures jenny beth martin. give voice to the feeling is that the majority leader has got to go. looking out what is not happen in the united states senate. obamacare has not been repealed, that we do have a new supreme court justice. we appreciate we have neil gorsuch on the supreme court. we have others not named. there is no attempt to balance the budget at all and the list goes on and on. the senate and the republicans in the senate made promises and are breaking their promises. either way, they are channeling but i called the inner break are. he looks exactly like him. andrew wrote against the establishment. you say there s an institutional right, but how do we do it? how do we take mitch mcconnell out? what the opposition? we will continue to work right now in the very short-term future to pass tax reform. we have to do that so we can haunt president trump on that. next year as we look at candidates who run after the united states senate asked them whether they vote for mitch mcconnell as leader or not. ask them if they re willing to make it easier to bring bills onto the floor so we can at least debate found enzi were senators stand on them instead of using filibuster as an excuse to do nothing at all right now. there d be two steps in the right direction. the other thing is whether it will get rid of the illegal congressional exemption for obamacare. transfer real quick as they said go after the money. it s not viable?

i think i like to get a job there. funny to watch these guys hearken back to the old south to scare black people. going down to jerry jones valley putting in my application because i ve got to tell you when guys that are making multiple millions of dollars doing something that there are football players who would give a kidney to go down there to play football for jerry jones and you want us a plantation mentality, it is such a shame that so many of these guys want to always hearken back to the days of slavery and theoretically scare black people into the notion that jerry jones is a racist because he wants his employees to follow the rules. look, millions of americans got up this morning and headed to work. they ve got to be there on time because the employee manual says to show it to work on time coming to leave on time. david will agree with me with this. i don t think there s a lot of black folks at jobs taken any because of so-called oppression. they are happy to be at their jobs and painful they have that job in america. is there a larger narrative you and i talked about over the years the civil rights industry. booker t. washington said they don t want the patient to get well. is this about the nfl or the civil rights industry? i wrote a book on it in blood, we deal with this every single time some issue comes up to the point of ad nauseam. america knows that the so-called oppression happening to blacks is a joke. at one point tiger woods, we know the name. who s the number one talk show host in america? pete: i was going to save david webb. as blacks, we are successful in all walks of life. i challenge any black person. tell me where you would rather live in what plantation you would want to work on. every single job you have is a plantation, every job in america is at the patient. it is ridiculous to think like this and quite frankly the longer-range implication of this is who wants to hire folks that have that type of mentality. if you can t hire young black men to go make millions of dollars without being considered a slave owner, what are you going to hire kevin jackson? train for 20 nonapplication all fill it out. abby: good to see you this morning. pete: coming up when they put the prompter up, we ll tell you what s next on the show. kellyanne conway, turning her into a clan. train for this offends me because i ve known for a very long time. pete: wake up and smell the apples on the doughnuts. live on our side it is smelling good. the in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. eight hundred dollars whenlmost we switched our auto and home insurance. liberty did what?

i ve no intention of running for public office. i have a deep love and admiration for the country. i do feel the country is going through significant crucible in and doing everything i can as a private citizen and trying to use the platform of starbucks to is advanced humanity and compassion in our society. you can find it at starbucks.com, amazon and obviously the starbucks app on our phone. over 60 million people viewed it last year. 100 million will disappear. the design today we party seem significant taking turns the people watching it. these stories are so uplifting and hopefully will advance the compassion in our society. their life-changing. incredibly inspiring. thank you for all you do. sending obama cares and it gives people peace of mind. our next guest says there is nothing peaceful about millions losing their coverage. the fbi finding new documents about the intimate meaning to bill clinton and loretta lynch. we are going to talk to the man who sued over those documents. a lot more coming up on fox and friends sunday. i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424. like paperless, multi-car,e and safe driver, that help them save on their car insurance. any questions?

[ sighs ] i ve got to start booking better gigs. demand such solace and peace of mind. people don t think of it this way. they think of it only in terms of dollars. but think of the peace of mind this has brought to millions of people about to be ripped away. former vice president joe biden did you name joe biden taking aim at president trump s move to dismantle obama cared, and defending it as peace of mind for millions. our next guest points out there is no peace of mind with millions losing health care or seeing premiums rise. more gop new york city councilman a rare breed in new york. gop councilman joe gore rally. on my support, obamacare of my support. what support. would you say to vice president biden? it s almost like vice president biden is living an alternative universe where you didn t run successfully and take over the house, senate and white house running almost on the singular issue of the repeal and replace obamacare. if you want to talk about peace of mind, what was the peace of mind for people that promise their premiums would go down by $2500 set one up $3000. the people never told you can keep your doctor and keep your plan. if you want to talk about peace of mind of the american people, how about the people that got the short end of the stick on obamacare that the republicans in the power today. by the way, you are rare breed in new york city and i say that with all respect. around the country legislatures and taken over by republicans. is there a role for the state and what would that be for states in major cities like new york to do with the issues for citizens? we can forgive before obamacare this country don t have health policy and the majority was made at the state level. there is a tremendous role in that is why the trumpet gop plan allows states through block grants to make decisions that they want for their stay. that s good in new york may not be good for oklahoma. that s the way we d done it for the majority of the history of our country with our constitution and that s when i hope to go back to. what about the portability issues and all of those other states work together. they regulate insurance traditionally and that s where it is. all across this country. this goes back to the forgotten realms the democrats put aside. they tried to fix an imperfect system. we can admit that because he wasn t perfect. what they simply did was break it further and make things worse through the presidents through the presidents plan gop s plan to allow people to buy health care across state lines was probably the first being president trump promise. this is why i m excited he s doing it. this will help tremendously. we have this executive order. would you want the president to do next and what you want him to do that you can work within the council of. the president has the first main step in making small businesses to give them access for competitive health insurance. these subsidies and insurance companies down the congress and say it s your turn to act. going back to vice president biden, if he was under a rock, he must ve been because the news is not about republicans fearful of the democratic fallout to repeal obamacare. it s actually the fallout of their own party s voters. these are people upset with members of congress, members of the senate failing to repeal and replace. trevor councilman, job or rally, good to see you. dr. sebastian gorka sending a warning to the left, that they should be more worried now. he joins us next hour. plus, outrage over the boy scouts decision to start admitting girls into their ranks had one writer says feminist groups have gone too far. she is here to explain that just ahead. but right now, our bond is fraying. how do we get back to us ? the y fills the gaps. and bridges our divides. donate to your local y today. because where there s a y, there s an us. . . president trump taking an axe to the obama legacy. he s far from finished. you have to remove these things so you can completely devolve power out of dc. what did he tell you said is it would be good in the democrats came to the white house and cut a deal on obamacare. the academy of motion picture arts and sciences expetal embattled producer harvey weinstein. saying that steve bannon declaring war on the gop establishment. there s a time and season for everything, and right now it s a seasonal war against a gop establishment. what has the hill, what has the g.o.p. rino establishment done for this president? the senate and republicans in the senate made promises and they re breaking their promises. they re not keeping them. he s gonna come to the plate, throw by gregorius, not in time, throw dropped, astros win 2-1. beautiful david: now, that s a pumpkin tree. there you go. pete: kiddie i think rick s atop the kiddie pumpkin true. abby: look how cute that suspect we are celebrating fall out here on our plaza where pumpkins everybody. david: i see a pumpkin drop over there. pete: the hellrick family farm. you said earlier in the show there were gonna be apple cider donates out there also? that was fake news. there are apple cider doughnuts at all fall festivals. david: i m with pete on this. i want apple cider doughnuts. pete: if people want to deliver them here, they could. abby: is there cider? david:. pete: hard cider. abby: its busy out here in the plaza, and it s been a very busy week for president trump whether it be tax reform, the iran deal on friday, but a lot of people are up in arms on this. david: let s not forget the supreme court again upholding again an executive order. abby: reversing a lot of the policies that barack obama david: the supreme court s backing trump but over 13 times they refuted obama. the constitution s in play. pete: constitution still matters matters. it s not just a living document. david: exactly. greatest document ever written. the legal dna for the country. pete: the left is trying to figure out what this all means, how could the president be doing all these things that he said he was gonna do on the campaign trail, what does it mean for the president s psychology? this is david axelrod, former obama senior adviser opining on that subject. i believe that the president thinks this is chum in the water fulfill youing his campaign promises for his base. i also believe that he is motivated by trying to obliterate the obama legacy which is in part also chum in the water for his base but also there s some other thing at play here that i don t have the qualifications to analyze, that clearly motivates him because every time he talks about anything that president obama did, he talks about it in these very caustic terms as if he s jealous or envious of the esteem with which obama left office. david: i don t know, abby, is he opining as pete said or is he whining? abby: look. i think, if anything, if you re president trump, that s probably seen as a compliment. because when you have people that worked on the former administration that are concerned about the policies that you re rolling back, it makes you wonder, what will barack obama s legacy be? david: you know what? you re taking fire when you re over the target. it s that simple. abby: as you said, though, every new administration that comes in does this. they at least attempt to reverse the policies. david: right abby: of the last political party and their agenda before. president trump campaigned on all of these things. he campaigned on the iran deal and thinking about decertifying that. he campaigned on changing health care. he campaigned on tax reform. these are things that we all knew he was going to do if he got into the white house. pete: the fact that they re taking such offense to that point, abby, is the fact that they so rarely seeing politicians that get elected and actually do what they said they were gonna do. he s going down the list that steve bannon had in his office of all the campaign promises and he s knocking them out. the reason he might be using a caustic tone sometimes, a, he s a different kind of politician, but b, he didn t want to see the country transformed like obama said. he is now the american people s voice and he s following through it. david: the people voted on this agenda. we re a representative republic. we re not mob through. we re not a democracy. we are a representative republic a constitutional republic, and our representatives are supposed to do what we told them to do. we ve turned over seats at the states, we ve got more republican governorships. look at the states that are doing well. start doing an analysis of this country. america is mostly red. but we ve got these population centers that really turn it around for the democrats. abby: but there s still a lot of frustration in this country. we know when we go out to the diners frustration with the establishment republicans that they re not stepping up and helping the president what needs to be done particularly okay had had. where are they? this is what they campaigned on for seven, eight years. so now steve bannon, he has left the white house and probably pete: unleas.ed abby: a little bit more dangerous outside the white house than he is inside and he s putting these establishment republicans on notice. here s what he said. there s a time and season for everything. and right now, it s a season, a war against a gop establishment. (applause) it s no longer acceptable to come and pat you on the head and tug everything s gonna be fine, get these guys in office. this is not my war. this is our war. (applause) and you all didn t start it. the establishment started. pete: that s exactly right. mitch mcconnell looks you in the eye for seven years and says we re gonna rip obamacare out root and branch, and then they can t even pass a skinny bill. david: lisa murkowski, susan collins, look at all those easy votes that they had to cost. you know, someone i worked with for many years, the tea party movement being one of the original founders, jennybeth martin, this is what she had to say. the senate and the republicans in the senate made promises and they re breaking they re promises. they re not keeping them. you know, back in 2010 and 12 and even 2014 as candidates were running for office, they weren t quite sure, we didn t fully understand the full depth of the establishment and how much they just cleaved to power. we get that now. so as we re looking at our candidates next year, we need to make sure they re candidates who have the courage to stand up to the power in washington. abby: i think these midterms this next year are going to be so fascinating to wa.ch pete: get the popcorn. abby: yeah, cause you re gonna have the establishment we ll see if they change their tune in the months to come if they realize in order to win their reelection they re gonna have to start helping out the president, because if they don t they re gonna have nothing on their plate in terms of what they ve gotten done. david: another important point, you go back to 2009 and 10, the start of the tea party movement, the grassroots movement, those were the nascent stages. it s matured since then. candidates have gotten better, they ve learned how to run races how to get funding, how on to work with data management. little by little this is america changing, this is a voter change and the establishment didn t get the american voter, that the voter wanted something d.ne pete: that s right. and the voter is now wise to what dc does, to your point, abby. they campaign as conservatives and go to washington for six years and do whatever mitch mcconnell and the establishment and lobbyists and wall street tell them to do. you can t just talk one way. it s what they ve done. they ve got a track record of fail.re abby: it s a problem for democrats as well. they need to start winning elections. it s what they stand for. they re in a are you the, who are we, how do we get people to come to the polls versus the republicans. david: they re no longer a national party. the democrats are no the progressives in charge. what happened to the blue dog democrats, what happened to the daniel patrick moynihan democrats? joe manchin runs and hides the moment he says something rational. john f. kennedy was the first tax cut president. they ve written him out of their hist.ry abby: that is one thing that people do like about president trump is he s about rights, right? he s this business guy getting into washington. he s saying, at this point i want everybody to come to the table. david: he said it yesterday, about to board marine one. abby: i ll go to you. exac.ly pete: a program coming to you if you choose to change the channel is saturday night live. abby: you stay up that light? david: if you re pete you re awake. pete: right. anyone associated with president trump, including powerful females like kellyanne conway, this is how they portrayed here last night. hi. it s me. kellyanne conway. but you can kelly me kellywise, the dancing clown. it s kellyanne. pete: what did you do to your makeup? i toned it down. pete: i should go. ooh, don t go. shut up. okay, so secretary tillerson didn t call the president a moron they were sharing a sundae and the president asked if he wanted more sprinkles. and the president pete: it was anderson cooper in there. abby: that didn t look anything like anderson cooper. david: if you want to do something funny, do it. but i m personally offended. one i ve known kelly for a very long time. she s an accomplished woman, a woman business owner, she s raised her family, made herself literally a top-notch data person over the years, they make her a caricature. i don t mind funny. funny is great. this isn t funny. it s an attempt to demean here. abby: right. david: it s an attempt to make her a caricature, and as someone that i ve known for a very long time, i m offended. and, i tell you what, s&l used to be funny, but without trump, they wouldn t have a show. abby: and it s one thing, you said you re friends with her. i think we can all laugh at something that as you said david: kellyanne conway would laugh at it if it s funny. maybe she is. abby: right. this is part of comedy in this country. we should be able to laugh at every political party, every person involved in that. that s fine. but in this case as you said it does get personal. how often the media has criticized her for her looks and her makeup and being a woman. david: things we re not supposed to. comedy used to be fearless, right? it s supposed to be fearless, not concrete fearful reactions. think about it. pete: and the double standard is glaring every single night. they would never do these things to someone on the left. we saw with the love notes on jimmy fallon, all the female writers that came out, they re all liberals, all of them. find me a conservative inside the s&l cast or crew or writers. david: find me somebody funny. find me somebody funny. they re not funny anybody. pete: cause there s blinded by their ideology. that s the point. and it comes through on the screen. too bad, really, because saturday night live is supposed to be fun. abby: we have headlines i want to bring you starting with a fox news alert and the fires out west, flames stretching up to 100 miles wide forcing into evacuations in northern california. this as we learn at least 40 people have now died. that nobody expected to climb as hundreds of people still remain missing. the causes of the fires which broke out last sunday still being investigated as officials look into whether downed power lines played a role. and the motion picture academy kicking out harvey weinstein amid sexual harassment allegations. the world s top movie organization making that decision to expel the disgraced hollywood producer in an emergency session yesterday, the academy releasing a statement saying this in part: the era of willful ignorance and shame shameful complicity in sexual predecessor and workplace harassment is over. no, it s not. abby: know how a spinner works in space? well, several nasa astronauts now have the answer taking newton s law for a test-drive board the international space station. the toy spinning as you would expect on earth but things get even more interesting when the astronauts grab onto the gadget and start spinning it themselves themselves. david: the gadget spins them? pete: that doesn t work here. david: there s a steve bannon fidget spinner. abby: because of the gravity if you do that in space you re the one spinning with it. david: laws of motion. pete: we have a show going on here apparently. david: work on the couch. pete: coming up, dr. sebastian gorka, david bossie and maria bartiromo. abby: documents come out about that infamous meeting between bill clinton and loretta lynch. will those new documents ignite a new scandal?

yes. so the left under obama use the irs to attack their political opponents. they spied on journalists like james rosen and their parents. so, yeah, we don t do that. we don t believe in using stars starsie like cold war communist tactics. we believe in fighting the good fight politically. the men and women is sorry, leftists, far more dangerous on the outside. look at what we did in alabama. i went down there to campaign for judge moore. so did steve. the establishment spent so much money on their candidate, and we defeated them. the swamp will be drained, pete. abby: dr. gorka, what do you say to democrats who would be cheering in movement of yours and steve bannon s on, saying, we want division in the republican party. i m sure there are democrats saying that as we speak. i m sure there are, but, look the democrats still don t understand what happened on november the 8th. they are doubling down. if you look at their policies in the last eight months, it s as if hillary clinton is still their candidate. if you listen to what they re saying in office, if you listen to schumer, if you listen to nancy, they have no idea why a former democrat registered blue-collar steelworker in youngstown valley in the steel valley of ohio voted for a billionaire from new york. so i don t care what they say; they are so wrong. 2010 is going to be a pleasure to watch. david: steve would be we ve got nancy pelosi and you just mentioned her. her op-ed says this: what the president is doing, it s violent violent. his actions are violent. he does violence to what we want to do in health care. he does violence to the national debt by what he s adding to it. he does violence to the world in terms of nuclear proliferation and the environment and in our standing in the world with his frivolity. apparently she s violently opposed to president trump. what do you say to that? david, there is violence in political discourse in america, especially in the last year, but you know who owns that violence? it s nancy pelosi. it s chuck schumer. it s the left. who s james hodgkinson? does that name anything to you? that s the man who shot steve scalise at a republican baseball game, and when they shot him they found a hit list on him with the names of all the other republican politicians he was going to assassinate. what about the fact that the man in oregon on the train who knifed two people to death, he was a jill stein supporter. james hodgkinson was a bernie sanders volunteer. what about the five police in texas assassinated in one day by a black lives matter supporter? the left has institutionalized violence david: steve, we ve gotta leave it there on that note, the left is institutionalized violence. great to have you here, my friend. do voice-overs. we ve got a general consensus. you know what i m talking ab.ut pete: dr. gorka, thanks a lot. abby: he does have a good vo.ce pete: first of all, nancy pelosi combines with nbc.com. doesn t get any more liberal to that. the violence of adding to the debt? all she wrote was violence. violence, violence, violence. abby: all right. growing outrage over the boy scouts decision to start admitting girls into their ranks. a woman says feminist groups, they ve gone too far. i ll have the langoustine lobster ravioli. for you, sir? the original call was for langoustine ravioli. a langoustine is a tiny kind of lobster. a slight shellfish allergy rules that out, plus my wife ordered the langoustine. i will have chicken tenders and tater tots. if you re a ref, you way over-explain things. it s what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance you switch to geico. sir, we don t have tater tots. it s what you do. i will have nachos! yoor a little internet machine?

whether that s true or not, i m not sure exactly, but i think boys need to be left themselves to do boy things and learn how to be men from boys. and girls can pursue their own david: what s the agenda then? what s the point? is there an agenda here? i think there is an agenda. i think the national organization of women is a group that really pressured the boy scouts into making this decision decision. i think it shows how powerful the feminist lobby is. and they succumb to that. and so now we re trying to neutralize the sexes. abby: it s interesting that the feminist lobby group that you re talking about they think they re the spokesperson for all young girls and all women. right. abby: but since this decision has been made, there s actually been a backlash from a number of women and a number of the girls speaking out about how important it is to be separate, for girls to have their own thing and for boys to have their own thing. i think since the early seventies they ve had mixed events and things they do together, but there is something pretty powerful about, you know, having something that is just yours. yes. i think the differences between the sexes is not only biological and it s wired in, it s really important, not to neutralize them but to celebrate them, to keep them separate because then that way boys learn how to be men from other men, girls learn how to be women from women, and we can both complement each other later on. pete: you talked about this move being potentially the end of men men. others talk about a war on boys. what does this tell us about that? i think when you try to neutralize the difference between the sexes what happened is that eventually women it s not enough to be equal. it s not enough to have equal opportunity and equal rights. the feminist lobby wants to be entitled, and they want to come into all these groups. and so eventually then boys have no influence, and they just become downplayed over t.me abby: how is this going to work though? when you think about boy scouts you think about camping, you think about going on hikes. how are you gonna combine and they ve already been in some trouble of their own with issues in the past. how are you going to combine young girls and young boys? i worry about how that moves forward in the most productive way possible. i worry about that too. the onus is on them to try to figure that out, and they re gonna stumble into those problems. and maybe they will learn quickly that this isn t going to work because they do need to be separate and they need to enjoy their own time toget.er pete: it s great to see the girl scouts come out really hard against this. that surprised me. david: nicole russell. one of my favorite icons, one school district just pulled to kill a mockingbird. that s wuss best of all time. president trump taking an axe to the obama legacy from beaux to immigration. we re gonna ask david bossie about that and he s gonna discuss. hungry eyes one look at you and i can t disguise i ve got hungry eyes applebee s 2 for $20. now that s eatin good in the neighborhood. applebee s 2 for $20. grandma s. aunt stacy s. what are the reasons you care for your heart?

we are inside the starbucks, mr. president. oh, mike, i need you to chuck the cups, okay. do they say happy holidays or do they say merry christmas ? sir, it s october. they wouldn t have christmas themed cups yet. they would if they respected the cups, they would show me on there and show me as santa claus giving all the children coal. the cups say pumpkin spice is back. get out of there right now, mike. give them the vamoose. folks, we re gonna start saying merry christmas again, and you cannot disrespect our lord and savior, santa claus, like that. pete: so that was saturday night live. david: it was almost funny. pete: it was funny, actually. abby: i was laughing. david: i think that one was worth a chuc.le pete: it s playing off something trump president trump has made a big part of his effort. in this politically correct cultural i can t even say merry christmas. maybe starbucks will do it. abby: former deputy campaign manager for president trump, david bossie, fox news contributor. david, we were chuckling there because there was a lot of truth behind what was being made fun of. look, president trump has made it clear that god is very important to him, celebrating christmas, saying merry christmas, that is who he is, what he wants to bring back to this country. it certainly is. this is president trump at his core. he believes that the american people are tired of this political correct talk, and it s gotten worse and worse and worse over the years. and so, you know, i know saturday night live is trying to be funny and they want to mock it and they want to wrap it into the nfl, it sounded to me like they were trying to wrap it into you know, his position on the nfl and standing for our anthem and our flag. but the president wants for the american people to be able to say merry christmas and have stores be able to say merry christmas when you have a people enter and have christmas greetings for people and have starbucks put merry christmas back on their cups. it s antithetical to the united states what we don t do these things. we are a christian nation. david: dave, while they re trying to take us off into comedy land and caricatures, the fact is there s a real agenda here. let s talk about the real agenda the president s trying to enact and how he gets that done by christmas. well, look, he s on to real issues. the media, the media wants to portray him as only doing these personal things. when the president over the last couple of weeks has done nothing but policy, if you look at his initiatives, whether it s immigration reform, tax reform, his repealing and replacing through executive order obamacare because of the failure of congress, you know, the president is on every day doing the policy for the american people that he promised during the campaign. it s one thing after another, promise made, promise kept. and that s why his poll numbers are going up. he is responding to the american people are responding to the president s message of hope, growth, and opportunity. if you look at the economy, what the president has done, this engine that is our economy is ready to take off, if we just give it the tax reform it needs. and that s what it s so vital for the american people. and what the president is marching for. pete: you re right. consumer confidence is at its highest level in 13 years. and you think so the media. their credibility is the lowest it s been in quite some time. david:. and i m happy to see it. pete: and a big part of it is how this president has litigated what he calls fake news. but it s not just a fight against the left and the media. right now it s a big frustration with establishment republicans who haven t moved forward and on the president s agenda. one of our friends and colleagues steve bannon predicts not only that they re gonna take all these guys on but it will lead to a win in 2020. listen to what steve bannon had to say. and i hate to break the news to graden carter and the good folks of vanity fair, but yes, president trump s not only gonna finish this term he s gonna win with 400 electoral votes in 2020 2020. pete: now, bannon said the president was gonna win when he was a candidate when no one else thought he would. he s saying this now. are you surprised at all? oh, i m not surprised one little bit. steve bannon and i was in the room with steve a lot during the campaign, obviously. steve, no matter what was going on every single day, understood what the american people wanted in this election and always said no matter who was listening, that the president was gonna win a hundred percent. he guaranteed victory before the november election last year. so i m not surprised. president trump has done an amazing job. he is frustrated with congress, and that s what steve s talking about. let s get into that a little bit bit. there s a problem in the leadership in the house and senate, and it s not just their fault. i will step back one second. congressman or senator corker senator mccain, those folks are not in leadership, and they are creating these problems for the senate leadership every day. john mccain single-handedly saved obamacare a couple weeks ago, and what the president did this week with his executive order was not his first choice. he wanted to go through the legislative remedy, do it the right way. this executive order, series of executive orders is the last-ditch effort to live up to the promise he made, which is repealing and replacing obamacare. so he is dismantling, through getting rid of these subsidies, as the first step. david: so, dave, the president s gonna be with senator mcconnell tomorrow. what are they gonna talk about? well, i hope they talk about tax reform. that is the single most important thing that we need to have done for the american people, and that s where we are. we re on the cusp of discussing and getting through congress before the end of the year. and that is important. we need congress, both the house and senate, to feel the pressure of getting a budget passed through the senate and then getting on to tax reform and not just decreasing rates but having real reforms and be able to bring back that money overseas and bring back jobs to america, which is the president s priority. pete: david, it s also been reported that the president spoke to steve bannon after steve bannon made a lot of these comments. do you believe the president s gonna side with an effort to get rid of mitch mcconnell, and where is he on the status of this majority leader? well, let s just say that i ve heard the president is from him and from others, that he s incredibly frustrated with many members in the house and senate, not just one person, not just the majority leader in the senate. but whether it s senator flake or senator corker and just talk about corker for a second. corker saw what was going on in tennessee, he sees what s going on across america, and he decides, instead of having a tough reelection to win his nomination again, he has decided to not run for reelection. that is what is going on across amer.ca abby: right. the conservative movement is incredibly strong and frustrated right now. and they re gonna send a message through these primaries. not every single senator needs a primary. i don t think that that s the case, but a lot of them do. and i m a term limits guy. i believe we need term limits david: it s number one on bannon bannon s war room list when he was there. exactly right. the number one thing for president tr.mp abby: there s already been a wake-up call for mitch mcconnell in the state of alabama with luther strange losing that race. it s interesting to see what will come out of that meeting tomorrow with president trump and mitch mcconnell. david bossie, great to have you on the program. turning on other headlines we re following. a family vacation ending in heartbreak after their eight year old takes a deadly fall from a deck of a cruise ship, the carnival ship docking in miami when all of a sudden the girl fell down several floors. a witness describing that chaos. it was just crazy. you heard the thump, and then people started screaming and people started running everywhere. abby: the girl then rushed to the hospital where she died from those injuries. still unclear what led her to fall off that ship. also, a school district pulling to kill a mockingbird from its eighth grade reading list saying there s language in it that makes students too uncomfortable. the mississippi, biloxi, school district saying they can learn the same lesson from other books books. the school district says it will remain on their library shelves. one of my favorites. entertains go off to president trump. comic george lopes tried an anti-trump routine for a gala for juvenile diabetes and gets booed off the staple. his apology doesn t go over well either. i apologize for bringing politics to an event. it s america. still is. i apologize abby: and actor robert de niro apparently triggered by the president trump s he s a punk, he s a dog, he s a pig, he s a con, a [bleep] artist, he talks how he wants to punch people in the face. well, i d like to bunch him in the face. abby: wow. the actor going off during a new york city gala where a park bench was dedicated to him. he says the president cannot sit on that park bench. pete: that s what i do when i get park benches named after me. can i get a bench? david: the f.b.i. finding new documents about the infamous tarmac meeting between bill clinton and attorney general then attorney general loretta lynch. will they ignite a new scandal? tom fitton, the man who sued for those documents, he s joining us next. pete: i m still on the bench pink the president should come on his bench. abby: gonna punch him, too? pete: we ll see. then forget the flag or police. one former player says the anthem protests are about gender pay gap. okay, that s a new one. i hit the ground i hit the ground having moderate to seis not always easy.is it s a long distance run and you have the determination to keep going. humira has a proven track record of being prescribed for nearly ten years. it s the number one prescribed biologic by dermatologists. more than 250,000 patients have chosen humira to fight their psoriasis. and they re not backing down. for most patients clearer skin is the proof. humira can lower your ability to fight infections including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems. serious allergic reactions and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you ve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you ve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don t start humira if you have an infection. join over two hundred and fifty thousand people who have chosen humira. ask your dermatologist about humira and go. abby: welcome back to fox & friends. some quick headlines. fall is here but the so-called pumpkin spice tax could scare you away this season. magnify money analyzing roughly 200 of the season s pumpkin spice flavored products finding they cost an average of 8% more than products without pumpkin spice. the most popular is trader joe s mix 130% more than the regular version. worth it, pete. this will not scare you. disney world welcoming dogs at four of its resorts. [dogs barking] abby: how great is this? upon arrival each pup will get a pluto welcome quick, dog walking maps, food bowls, and even a mat mat. the pilot program starts today. i want to take my dog th.re pete: they re gonna need doggie bags there too. keep it clean. the f.b.i. finding 30 new pages of documents about this controversial tarmac meeting. you ll remember that back in june of 2016 between former president bill clinton and then attorney general loretta lynch. why did it matter so much? lots investigations going on. oh, and an election. judicial watch now saying the feds only found the documents after the watchdog group caught them, the agency hiding them. we ve got the president of judicial watch tom fitton joining us now. as a result of a second lawsuit you now know that there are 30 f.b.i. documents but initially the f.b.i. didn t want to reveal that? yeah, back when the tarmac meeting has happened we asked for records from both the f.b.i. and the justice department about them. we got the stonewall, we sued. justice department recently turned over documents with the talking points that were blacked out that everyone heard about a month or two ago but also included in that batch of documents were communications with the f.b.i. the f.b.i. had told us they didn t have anything, so she came back and said we re re reopening the foia and just the other day they told us they found 30 new pages of records that they ll need six weeks to review before they turn over to us . pete: so six weeks from now sometime in november we ll be getting these documents. what would you anticipate these 30 documents might reveal? well, they ll probably be a lot of blacked-out material, which that s par for the course from the government. but certainly the f.b.i. and director comey at the time, he expressed concern about the meeting and other things that were going on in the justice department in terms of the justice department s credibility and bias that was evidently protecting hillary clinton. so be interesting to see if there were communications directly about that once this meeting between clinton and lynch took place, a meeting when took place just before mrs. clinton was to be interviewed by the f.b.i. and one that mrs. lynch admitted cast a cloud over the investigation. pete: how often, tom you file these foia requests and lawsuits to get documents that the public deserves to see. how often do you feel like politics is what motives what s actually released, or do you feel like for the most part you get a straight deal? well, on sensitive topics like this you ve gotta push in court to get the records. the agencies would voluntarily turn them over and in the case of the f.b.i. i think somebody knowingly withheld this information from us and only fessed up to it once we called them out as a result of the justice department disclosing some information. there s no good reason that these documents shouldn t have been found given the high level nature of the communications that we found that the justice department had with f.b.i. officials. pete: it s counterintuitive there wouldn t be there wouldn t be some documents as well with the level of consequence of a meeting of this level as well. tom fitton, president of judicial watch. thank you for being here and your hard work. appreciate it. speaking of the clintons, hillary is taking her election blame game across the pond. and you won t believe who she s a pointing the finger at this time. it s maybe the 49th finger she s pointed at someone else to blame for the loss. ed henry at the top of the hour. and thomas the tank engine getting what some might call an overhaul all in the name of gender equality and climate change. you re not going to believe this this. you re not gonna want to miss this and your emails have been pouring in on how you feel about thomas getting some new politically correct friends. and lots of solar panels. you won abby: we all grew up with the winnie the pooh books. now the books are coming to life in good-bye christopher robin. the great thing is to find something to be happy about. i think i ve got something for us. pete: good-bye christopher robin is in theaters this weekend. david: here with an exclusive and interview with the movie stars, oh, no, senior vp of market michael tamero. i just ate. pete hegseth there. here s the story, and i m seeing something similar in this trend to tell the story of the people behind the stories. yeah. i had a chance to catch up with the cast who told me all about the man himself a. a. milne, the inspiration and the backstory behind these iconic stories. he really like this book for me. i d definitely read it. shall we go for a walk? why aren t you working? it doesn t seem likely. love this movie. thank you. there was a lot going on. this couple who, you know, wrote the perfect children s book had the imperfect relationship with their children. which was very typical of parents of that age, to be fair. we re going on holiday just to italy for a month or so. when you think of winnie the pooh you think of the safe place you know, you think of a place where you can go in your imagination and be unsafe. that s what he had to create, because he was in such traumatic place himself, a. a. milne. what did we fight that war for? it s over. what am i doing about it? doing what you re good at, writing plays. i ve had enough of making people laugh. i want to make them see. it was a very theme but done with such a light touch and done respectfully but never heavy-handed, never felt preach. there s this whole theme of celebrity. you were like, your character was like one direction, and harry potter all wrapped into one. y.ah, what was it like for you to play this role? it was quite hard, actually, because christopher robin he s a very sad boy. there s rarely a smile on his face and that smile only comes on out with when his father is playing with him in the woods. come on, don t get frostbite. i found myself getting a little angry at christopher robin cause he had all this good fortune. yeah, but you know kids what they want is attention from their parents. i don t think they understood that they were abby: is that all they want? i m in for it, huh? this kid, will tillerson who plays the real life christopher robin is incredible. he s eight years old and we talk about the power of celebrity. i want to christopher robin was the most famous kid in the world right behind princess elizabeth, and he said, at eight, he goes he sacrificed his childhood so kids all over the world could have one for themselves. i m like, oh, my god, you re eight?

but here he s saying this morning and it s important to note this because you now have these former obama officials out there trashing the president for trying to change the iran nuclear deal as if this was some perfect deal when in fact there are all kinds of outs for the iranians, when in fact there was millions of dollars changing hands to get this deal through. all of the shady parts of the deal that have come out in the last year or two and they re all looking past all of that, and not understanding that what the president is trying to do here is make sure that iran doesn t get nuclear weapons and he doesn t think this deal is the right way to go and by the way michael orin, the former israeli ambassador to the u.s. has been on twitter pointing out he has intelligence sources saying 32 times in 2016 the iranians went out and tried to import various military components that are consistent with building nuclear weapons and yet they re insisting and obama officials are insisting with the iranians they re complying with this deal everything is fine. it s not fine. todd: it s a great point amazing to watch the obama administration former officials agree with the iranians saying no no no everything is great. and you had susan rice yesterday or the day before on twitter with just one line. bs, she said, about a tweet into apac. the israeli american public public affairs group that there s been a sharp critic of the iran nuclear deal so there you have this president, president trump align with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu in the way the previous administration clearly was not so they are trying to spin this. abby: and aligned with our allies by the way around the world saying we need the united states to step up stronger. david: and ed i m wearing my donald trump cufflinks here, and steve bannon says i might get to wear another set for his next term. here is what he had to say. steve: there s a time and season for everything and right now, it s a season of war against a gop establishment. [applause] steve: it s no longer acceptable to come and pat you on the head and tell you everything is going to be fine just get these guys in office. this is not my war. this is our war. [applause] steve: and you all didn t start it. the establishment started it. todd: he goes on to guarantee that president trump gets a second term. what do you make of what steve bannon says? well i think it s fascinating for many reasons but the key one is in the last week the left has been circulating this block post steve bannon said somewhere there s only a 30% chance that donald trump survives his first term and that he wouldn t run again. all kinds of suggestions that bannon somehow thinks this president is going to be out of office soon and yet what does he say yesterday in public, in front of the cameras. he said he s going to not only survive but he s going to be re elected with something like 400 electoral votes so i think first of all that was fake news that was out there and he s pushing back on it but the second thing i d say is steve bannon is on to something else very important which is mitch mcconnell, paul rye and and republican leaders will have to wake up. the president is having lunch tomorrow to patch things up but they are not delivering. they are not delivering on what the president campaigned on and frankly what they campaigned on repeal and replace obamacare and all these other issues. tax cuts are pretty much stalled right now. it s not over but they re struggling and so you know everybody wants to blame the president for everything and these republican leaders made promises for years. david: how many more chances do they get at this, ed? they have been voting reporter: 2018 is the end of the line. steve bannon is right. yes the president is keeping campaign promises with a lot of these executive actions but what is not being talked about is this is the same thing that conservatives lampoon barack obama about that he couldn t work with congress so he went forward and pulled ahead executive action pen and a phone and did it on his own. that s what this president trump is doing in some ways now and what is the lesson from the obama years? if you don t lock in the legislative wins, these executive victories can be wiped out by the next president in a heartbeat. that s what president trump is doing to the barack obama legacy , but my point is trump fans have to wake up that if he doesn t lock this in with mitch mcconnell and paul ryan carrying the load for him, this will all be wiped out whether it s three years from now or seven years from now, so they have to get off the market. abby: it s going to be a fascinating midterm election to watch. speaking of chances a lot of people are wondering how many more chances hillary clinton is going to get to blame her election loss on something i m sure you saw this bbc interview she did recently where he asked her some pretty tough questions one of them about that very thing. let s play that. hillary: really perfect storm so you have the comey letter, the enormous impact of the russian theft of e-mails, the release of them by wikileaks so you re still blaming others more than yourself? hillary: no look i take ultimate response alt and i don t blame others but i think it s important that people understand what happened. so when i decided to run for president some years later, the other side knew that they had to tear them down and you know, i made some mistakes, they took advantage of but they also engaged in this really horrible relentless prosecution of me and they used online media, social media, to carry those messages and they were aided and abetted by the russians. abby: so she s not blaming anybody ed. david: everybody. todd: i can t keep up with it reporter: also she keeps coming back to this idea that the president was aided by the russians. she s flat out claiming that there was collusion which is where all of these investigation s, robert mueller, on down to the house and senate investigations and all of the rest, that there was collusion and no one, how many months later, nobody has proven that there s collusion? we ll see, they re still digging for evidence month after month but she, hillary clinton is making that charge without actually having the evidence. number one and number two when you talk about prosecution, yeah , she attacked everybody in the arena these days gets attacked. what do you think president trump is going through right now no matter what he does, he s hammered for it and so look, welcome to the club. if you want to get into the arena and run for president, you re going to get attacked and she knew that beforehand. she knows it now and yet she has these throwaway lines like sure i made mistakes, but so then her fans to say oh, she took responsibility. she said i made mistakes but then the whole rest of the interview is what everybody did wrong to her. todd: can t let the facts get in the way of a good narrative ed henry. david: not at all. abby: ed where are donuts by the way. reporter: i wanted to bring them. i saw david was asking people to bring them to sixth avenue has it come to that? david: i don t know. todd: we need you ed. abby: he s on the couch. ed good to see you. todd: appreciate it. well first it was fake news. now, jerry fallwell jr. says president trump needs a new phrase for lawmakers blocking his agenda. the president last week and i told him, he needs to coin a new term fake republicans. todd: well we are joined live next. abby: all aboard the pc train i love they gave me this one, getting a major overhaul, your e-mails are pouring in about this and we ve been debating it all morning. we ll be back with this. todd: grab the solar panels. [laughter] started searching for her words. and my brother ray and i started searching for answers.

if you d rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. you nervous? abby: even though the gop has the majority in congressman it people believe there are some republicans who are just obstructing the president s agenda. david: and our next guest well he told the president he needs to coin a new term for them. fake republicans. want to make sure i got that right. todd: joining us now liberty university president jerry fall well jr. joins us live thank you very much for being here, sir. so you ve coined a new phrase the president should use it. fake republicans what do you mean by that, sir? well, i think there s several republicans in the senate who pretended to be conservative republicans to see their base, to deceive their voters, got elected and they really don t share the same values and i think if they will get out of the way and honor the values that they ran on, keep the promises that they made to their constituencies when they ran i think donald trump has the potential to be the greatest president since abraham lincoln. abby: how can he be most effective because his whole thing is i m a deal maker in order to get big things done whether it s changing the iran deal, whether it s healthcare, immigration tax reform you name it he s got to find a way to work with many republicans that seem to not want to help him out so do you go to war with them or try and find a way to bring him to the table? no, i think the american people in 2018 need to find candidates who are not professional politicians. i think it s time for the political class to go. i think they need to find people who have been successful in other fields like donald trump was and elect them next year, primary these guys out of there. i think that s the only way it s going to be solved. i think they re just died fake republicans. i don t think they believe anything they said they believe when they ran for office. by the way i m not a reverend. i heard you call me a reverend earlier. i was a lawyer and real estate developer for 20 years before i became college president. todd: okay, but if you wouldn t mind, who are these fake republicans you re talking about? names come to mind, collins, mccain, maybe corker, i don t have all of the names right here but there is just enough to keep the democratic agenda in place and it s sad because they promised their constituencies they were somebody else. they promised they were conservatives. i think it s the worst kind of deceit at least democrats admit what they believe. i have more respect for them than i do these fake republicans david: well the president has taken on healthcare a thing conservatives republicans moderates all ran on the repeal of this. here he is on healthcare. president trump: we are going to have great healthcare in our country. we re taking a little different route than we had hoped because getting congress, they forgot what their pledges were. so we re going a little different route but do you know what? in the end it s going to be just as effective and maybe it will even be better. david: abbey you brought up deals. how does he get it done? how does he get the legislative done? i just admire the president for having the boldness to sign that executive order and allow healthcare to be sold across state lines and i think that s going to destroy obamacare by itself. obamacare is going to collapse of its own weight anyhow. just a question of whether it collapses soon enough for the right government to be in place to come back with something good , something competitive, something that uses free enterprise principles, and i just admire this president so much for his boldness. todd: jerry last night saturday night live did the opposite and made fun of his boldness, especially on a topic about using the phrase may christmas, which some dismiss, but i feel like you may have a different view. how important is this belief in god not government and how the president talks about it? well, it s not just that issue. it s the left there s a full on assault against all american institutions, all traditional american institutions. you know the nfl taking a knee, it s just one example. there s as a college president, we had homecoming weekend here this weekend and we kind of benefit from that so i ve got a little bit of a selfish interest people are watching football on saturday when liberty university plays now, we beat baylor this year, but it s a discredit to the veterans. it s just to the flag, and the people who died to give them the right to play football to earn all that money, they should have enough respect to bow but there s so many areas where the left is just assaulting everything that made america great. you know the state of israel is one example. if a republican had signed that deal with iran and basically that deal has the potential to be the death warrant for the state of israel and i think president obama knew that when he signed it and if a republican had signed that deal they would be called anti-symmetric by the press. i just think there s a full on assault of everything that made america great and that s why i m so proud of the president for being the first sitting president to speak the value voter summit. the first president in generations to give his first graduation speech at liberty university instead of note notre dame and he s the right man right place at the right time but these fake republicans are obstructing everything he s trying to do. he s trying to do it anyway with the executive orders but that won t outlast his presidency. abby: you wear many hats but reverend is not one of them. we appreciate you for correcting that for us thank you for being with us. david: we don t juan to put out make news about your title. thank you, sir. it s not just about americans kneeling any more or football players kneeling any more which many americans object to. taking a knee has gone international and wait until you hear what a former player said, the protests are about gender. todd: all about gender pay now. good to know we should ask colin kaepernick and then hillary clinton compared president trump to harvey weinstein but claims sex assault allegations against her husband well that s just in the past. ed kline literally wrote the book on the clintons and he s here to react, next. walk this way, talk this way, walk this way, just give me a kiss and with panera catering, there s more to go around. panera. food as it should be. david: quick headlines and news breaking overnight the death toll from a massive explosion in somal yeah a death toll now at 189 and 200 injured saturday s blast now the deadliest attack ever in the horn of africa s nations, somali a s government blaming the bombing on the extremists and the u.s. government calling it a cowardly attack and a manhunt intensifying around an air force base overnight. police say three men smashed a stolen car into the fence at joint base san antonio randolph after a high speed chase prompt ed a lockdown police detaining two men and the third getting away. a rocket carrying classified u.s. spy satellite blasts off into space. 3, 2, ignition and liftoff. liftoff the united launch alliance atlas 5 rocket. david: united launch alliance atlas 5 rocket successfully taking off from florida overnight on this mission. todd: thank you, sir. well, hillary clinton comparing president trump to disgraced movie mogul, howard weinstein but somehow dismissed allegations of her own husband s bad behavior. watch this. hillary: this kind of behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere whether it s in entertainment, politics, after all we have someone admitting to being a sexual assaulter in the oval office. there has to be a recognition we must stand against this kind of action that is so sexist. this depends upon women coming forward and having the courage to come forward and yet in your book, the three women brought on to stage by trump attacking your husband and you kind of dismissed them. was that the right thing to do are you sure about that? hillary: well yes because that was all litigated. that was the subject of a huge investigation as you might recall in the late 90s and there were conclusions drawn and that was clearly in the past. abby: you know who we need for this? ed kline he joins us now and he has a new book coming out all out war, the plot to destroy trump you also have done a book about the clintons you know them inside and out. what was going through your mind when you re listening to her in that moment? ed: i ve known donald trump for 35 years, i ve written two magazine cover stories on him and just wrote a book called all out war about him and investigated every nook and cran nie of his personal life and i can tell you with confidence hillary clinton s charges totally false. donald trump has never been accused of rape, sexual molestation, blacklisting women who won t sleep with him the way harvey weinstein has been. abby: she accused him of that on that interview she said he s an admitted sexual abuser or sexual assaulter rather. well she s trying to get off the hook. for years and years, hillary has been taking tons of money from harvey weinstein when she well knows as everybody in hollywood, the media, the fashion world by the way, politics that harvey weinstein was a molester and hillary took this money and bill clinton hung out with harvey weinstein in hollywood and they all knew abby: how much money ed for the foundation? david: really what s that look like? ed: we re talking about hundreds of thousands of dollars but you know, more to the point i think is that hillary has been covering up her own husband since she married him 40 years ago. he s still at it, down in his present house apartment in little rock. he holds wet t-shirt contests in penthouse apartments and invites young interns up there to give them foot massages and hillary not only is aware of it when she s in little rock refuses to stay there. todd: but why go there then? is it absolute hipocracy or is she just why would she then make the countercharge like that? this is the same woman who said she was under sniper fire in bosnia if you remember when there was no sniper fire. hillary given the charge between telling the truth and telling a lie often tells a lie. david: somewhere in between it, it s the lawyer s line and there is the truth. what about is there a truth to the fact that will clinton didn t want her to write this book and that there was a back and forth between them? ed: she gave bill clinton two boxes of the manuscript before she sent them to the publisher of this new book and he took a red pencil and he started changing everything, crossing it out. abby: as he always does it s his style. ed: he s always trying o tell her what to do and she hates that of course, gives her back the manuscript with all his edits and she said i m not going to change anything. not going to listen to you and he said well you didn t listen to me during the campaign when i told you that you should start polling again and go to wisconsin and michigan. david: agree or disagree bill clinton is a smart political player. ed: the best in the business todd: ed kline thank you very much. appreciate your time. thank you. todd: well we traded five terrorists to get him back and now tomorrow disgraced army sargent bowe bergdahl is expected to admit what we all know he desserted his post in afghanistan. the man who led the search is going to tell us what to expect. plus, tomorrow as the train, you know him and you love him but he s getting a major overhaul in the name of gender equality and climate change. your e-mails are pulling in about the new social justice of our team. abby: i think that i have a sense of what side they re on and from a fall festival on the plaza we are celebrating all morning long that s coming up next a big final 30 minutes on this show stick around. david: there are all pumpkin s represented. todd: roll it roll it. this is how we roll, hanging around picking on anything on the radio, we line it up with our friends, this is how we roll , this is how we do, we running down the road so tell us your big idea for getting the whole country booking on choice hotels.com. four words, badda book. badda boom. let it sink in. shouldn t we say we have the lowest price? nope, badda book. badda boom. have you ever stayed with choice hotels? like at a comfort inn? yep. free waffles, can t go wrong. i like it. promote that guy. get the lowest price on our rooms, guaranteed. when you book direct at choicehotels.com. book now. todd: well that s tomorrow as the train as he used to exist as the show used to exist but we re getting news this morning that tomorrow as the train is getting an overhaul, too many male trains not enough female trains and we ll add female trains and see the smoke coming out of the smoke stack terrible for the environment and we have to change that. abby: they re adding two girl trains, one on the left is from africa, matel teamed up with parents and the un, consulting with them to figure out the right changes that needed to be made and we ve been debating this this morning. david: we ve been debating it too much let s face it we re talking about trains and who needs the u.n. to weigh in on what a train and kids show should be like? what a dumb decision. todd: all about agenda. abby: the original thomas the tank, i think her name was daze it and so todd: you loved the show growing up. abby: the new one has three girls and four boys making it more gender neutral which i said earlier of all things i understand the pc argument which in many cases deserves to be debated but in this case i think it s fine to add more girl trains. david: i don t know about the agenda. abby: what is the agenda though? todd: little boy or girl isn t looking at trains going that s a boy that s a girl i like it, i don t like it. what about girls say my little pony where is my big horse somewhere is the boy horse? david: where is my stallion. todd: ninja turtles there s four boys better make two girls. david: let s go to the e-mails. this is tony in south carolina. tony says i don t care what gender the trains are as long as they re hauling tons of cheap coal to bring down my electric bill. abby: that was the other part of the changes it was clean energy trains which david: republicans want dirty trains. i couldn t resist. todd: it doesn t brother bother me they re changing up the tomorrow as the thomas the train but what does bother me is they re making it political. david: thank you, it s about the kids. abby: our senior producer sister mallory in florida she wrote in on his and her sister producing the show says i m with pete. hang on a minute. i m with pete, abbey no three year old girl said no i think i can t because i counted up the gender identity of each train and there are more boys than girls only the boys can do it because there are more. kids only think about that when prompted by adults. pc continues to run amuk, which to my point i love thomas. david: hang on i wasn t included in that e-mail. todd: defend yourself. david: that s not equal. abby: i also loved thomas the tank but i didn t know it as having more girls as part of the show so now this has been reinvented, i think this one could still be a good show as well, having three girls now and four boy trains, i think it could be empowering to girls and shows we can be just like the buys look i m all for our gender s are different but girls can like boy trains and we could also add more girls to it as well. i don t see the problem. todd: but you know girls in the boy scouts you said earlier too. so why is it okay to be separate in the boy scouts and girl scout s but the trains got to be equal? abby: well trains can be separate but now we re getting really confused here. todd: [laughter] david: this is the national debate. abby: i think genders are different you have young girls and boys and obviously a lot of differences between the two. you can have girl trains and boy trains as part of the same story line, but when it comes to the boy scouts and girl scouts they can do things together but having something that david: how about one is real and one is fake? thomas is a show and there are no cartoon trains in the real world and the other is an issue between boy scouts and girl scouts. todd: trains don t actually have genders. anyway. abby: everyone has got their perspective that s important to talk about these things. i do want to bring you headlines starting with disgraced army sargent bowe bergdahl expected to plead guilty tomorrow the 31 year old charged with desertion and misbehave or before the enemy. we were joined earlier telling us how that could play out. there are men who don t get to live at all, so much less even enjoy a hot meal in prison, so to me justice is life in prison. abby: bowe bergdahl was captured by the taliban back in 2009 while on patrol in afghanistan and five years later the obama administration traded five stall it ban terrorists to get him back and he faces life in prison if convicted. and some major weakness in the nfl. the green bay packers going head-to-head with the minnesota vikings and later the kansas city chiefs facing off with the pittsburgh steelers, and another day of football means another day of protests which are now going international a german soccer team taking a knee in solidarity with the nfl players and now a former player says the protests are about more than racial inequalities take a listen. it s also again from what i m hearing from players directly involved in these talks, they re telling me it s also about the gender pay gap. abby: nfl commissioner roger goodell is meeting with the player s union and team owners this week to discuss those protests that will be interesting to see how that plays out. i want to toss it to the plaza to rick where they re celebrat ing everything fall. rick what s going on? rick: we are and everybody is out here visiting we have e business a death, jenna, and ca ra. you are a radio broadcaster so give me your best radio broadcast voice. what would you like me to say rick: you do have a good voice that was very very nice. i get it but let s talk weather now take a look at the maps and your temperatures as you are waking up this morning, they feel like summer across much of the east. it s warm and down across the southeast it has been baking and that will continue to be the case at least for one more day, but there is relief coming in sight we have a front moving through that will drop your temperatures down in your mid down which is great news all part of the front you ll see moving across bringing rain showers here is your temps still warm across the east and that cool down begins for the day tomorrow. todd: snow in the north 80 in the south. david: pretty much how it works. todd: all morning long we ve had our own fall festival on the plaza thanks to the fantastic he llrick family farm. david: here to tell more about it is i guess it kind of fits. it s perfect fit, yeah. thank you. it s a generation farm which i can t imagine. a lot of work through the years. david: you re up very early in the morning like us? we are. today especially. todd: what are you highlight ing for us this morning this morning we just put in a new aerial adventure park so our farm is not just for kids but it s for adults as well. we ve got gina here to show you some of our equipment that we use and we used something called the safe roller system and what s really great about this is a lot of the systems you clip in and you clip out around the polls ours you just roll through it the whole time so it s a very sophisticated system extremely safe system and simple. bruce so a lot of people cook pumpkin pies and things, i make pumpkin bread. exactly. it s delicious. but i ve been doing it wrong you tell me? well the pumpkins are not very flavor flavorful so we don t recommend using a face pumpkin and we like to use a neck pumpkin. todd: a neck pumpkin? wow. david: very small. the flavor is extremely sweet for both of these. todd: is that different than a butternut squash? it s smaller and so but these really have the sugar in them. david: what do we use these for? you can cook with that but what i want to show you on here is something special. this is something that my father created it s called thankful for you and it s just something that he always had lots of great friends helping him through the years and he always wanted to share that and we have a lady who paints these for about 15 years now and we would pass them around for the family. the other great thing my mom and dad would do would be the flower s and we have an acre of those so people come in and pick the flowers. todd: where is it? it s in pennsylvania just north of philadelphia. todd: not too much for the kids obviously they ve been here all morning. thank you to all of the families that brought your kids in. thank you. todd: i m going to keep this. coming up saturday night live unveiling its latest attack against kellyanne conway turning her into a clown. david: nothing funny about that for me plus disgraced producer harvey weinstein they actually needed a meeting to officially kick him out of the motion picture academy. tmz been breaking details from the start joining us with reaction that s coming up. i am totally blind. and non-24 can make me show up too early. or too late. or make me feel like i m not really there. talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424. now that we have your attention. capri sun has four updated drinks. now with only the good stuff. do you know how to use those?
