north korean actions just re-enforced for both leaders why this is the number one threat to both prime minister abe and to president trump. i think the north korean actions were deliberately timed after what was a pretty good week in terms of u.s. policy in asia, with regard to president trump s call with xi jinping and secretary mattis s trip to the region, i think the trump administration said look, we re here and we re not going to be an easy issue to deal with. right now the national security advisor is said to have broke on the law and critics call for him to be fired, for him to step down. how much does that impact the advice that this group can give the president at this time? i think the precedent is going to get advise from a wide range of people, including the folks in the state department, particularly those commitments to china that would affect the finances that north korea has for building these missiles, there may be a statement that comes out of the u.n. se ....
sean spicer, would the president be okay with a package with a time line in which the tax cuts would be enacted and people would feel it in 2018 and not 2017. a bit of ambiguity. here s spicer. there s two issues. fiscal year 17 and calendar year 17. for tax purposes, it s calendar year 2017 that they re probably most concerned with. the president as we work with congress will have those details to be able to flush out. something that they have to work can congress on. president trump dropped news on this whole conversation just moments ago telling reuters in an interview, speaking about the border adjustment tax, which is a big question in this. the president said, and i m quoting from reuters here, it could lead to a lot more jobs in the united states. as that article dropped, spicer talked up the merits of it saying it benefits workers, americans and the economy. nothing from the white house yesterday, but certainly it appears they re starting to talk it up just a bit ....
after we finished the kitchen floor. [laughter] bill: caution, you are about to enter the no spin zone. the factor begins right now. bill: hi, i am bill o reilly. thanks for watching us tonight. the brawl over sanctuary cities. that is the subject of this evening talking points memo. as you may know, the federal government is threatening cities that do not cooperate with homeland security with the loss of federal grant money. now, the city of seattle, suing the feds over that, the first of many lawsuits, i believe. the basic problem is that cities like chicago, seattle, new york, los angeles, san francisco, do not want to hold illegal aliens they ve arrested until i.c.e can pick them up. though cities want to release the aliens on bail or their own recognizance. talking points believe that is dangerous and irresponsible. if there is a federal detainer play to that constituency. and to the federal government, which now wants to enforce immigration law, because presi ....
every single president and every single vice president has been audited by the irs every year of their time in office. and they all still routinely release their tax returns to the public every year so that excuse from trump and the trump campaign never made sense. being under audit is excuse for not releasing your tax returns as a candidate or certainly as president. also, the audit excuse never made sense for his past tax returns. even if donald trump wanted to release nothing under current audit, well, what about years for which the audits are completed and closed? any year of his taxes before, say, 2008, any year that was audited before then, those years presumably would be done being audited by now. those would be closed. so why not release those earlier tax returns even if you don t want to release the current ones for which there isn t an excuse not to do anyway? whether or not you are a supporter of donald trump in general, whether or not you care what s in his tax ret ....
likely the influence of the new chief of staff here, retired general john kelly who has been clear, trying to send a signal there is a new sheriff in town. that he s not going to tolerate discord and some of these tweets that are off message. but will we see this over the course of time? that remains to be seen. we ve had sort of the pockets of the president being very restrained when it comes to his messaging. i think when it comes to the relationship on capitol hill and this next battle that you talk about, the challenges, not only do you have republicans, conservatives like jeff flake speaking out, obviously he s been critical of candidate trump all the way back to the campaign trail, but republicans just don t seem that afraid of him. that s why you have lisa murkowski saying i m going to vote against you in the health care fight. how does he get republicans on board to get tax reform done? the reality may be that they re looking at tax cuts, because they don t have that big, ....
