to pay some of his legal fees and that appears to be against house rules. rick: so what happens, molly? let's say he's found guilty of any number of these charges that he's facing, then what? >> reporter: as you were saying there were eight house colleagues, four democrats, four republicans, they're sort of the jury in this case, hearing the case against rangel from ethics committee lawyers and also hearing rangel's defense. that jury will have to be convinced by, quote, clear and convincing evidence that rang rangel violated house rules and the charges against him include failing to report income on a vacation home in the dominican republic and illegally using his harlem apartment as a campaign office, and rick, the upshot could be a vote of some kind by the house, showing displeasure or a critical report against him. we don't know yet what might happen. rick: molly henneberg, live in d.c., thanks. we've got gavel to gavel coverage of the trial, it's streaming live on our website, log on to foxnews.com for complete, uninterrupted coverage and a whole lot more.
the idea chuck schumer mentioned of capping it at a million dollars and here's more from senator jim demint from fox news sunday. >> i hope we can get a permanent extension but if the president wants to compromise on a 2-3 year extension, what is important here, chris, is businesses know what their tax rates will be over the next few years, and, so they can plan growth and plan to add people. >> what you have is a little shadow-boxing, rick, between the white house and some key lawmakers, before a scheduled meeting here at the white house on thursday. to discuss those bush tax cuts. rick: mike emmanuel live at the white house, thanks so much. >> reporter: thank you. martha: they just wanted to sell homemade cup cakes and why a sidewalk bake sale sparked outrage in a quiet little suburb. rick: and it could be the most infamous pat-down in history at the airport, the guy who recorded his close encounter with the tsa, he did on his cell phone and we'll let you hear some of it and talk about it
folks all over the country will be headed to airports, and getting ready to board airplanes, over the next week or so, for the thanksgiving break. what would -- we heard from the homeland security secretary, janja janet napolitano said be patient. >> before you go through the processes, you have to understand, at the transportation security administration level, there is a lot of effort in what they call testing evaluation to determine the equipment and processes and also, the time in which they have to do it, in order to get in where it is effective and efficient, at the same time to move the populace through the check points and there is a lot of -- especially during the holiday season. rick: thank you, former assistant administrator for the tsa, good to talk to you and happy holidays to you and your family. >> thanks. same to you, sir.
everyone below a million dollars will get a tax cut but the millionaires and billionaires won't. and i say that they shouldn't get it for three reasons: first, they're the only group whose income has substantially gone up in the last decade, middle class incomes have declined, second, they're not likely to send it -- spend it, they got plenty of money anyway and it's not going to butch the economy, boost the economy and third, we have a big decifit problem, we have a great jobs prorks better to put the money into decifit reduction, creating jobs than to give it to the millionaires and billionaires. rick: steve moore is senior economic writer for the "wall street journal". what do you snng. >> you know, it's interesting, obviously, chuck schum ser from your state of new york, new york and california have the highest tax rates in the country, they imposed these millionaire surtaxes, and you know what, those two states have the biggest deficits in the country so it hasn't worked very well at the state level. i don't think, rick, you're going to see any republicans leap at this idea. republicans' position has
been very clear, that if we're going to keep those tax rates for anyone, we're going to keep them low for everyone. so i don't see this happening. one other point i'd like to make, rick, in washington state this year, there was a millionaire tax on the ballot, in liberal washington state, and it failed by about 65 percent of the vote. americans know that rich people, whether they're talking about warren buffet or bill gates or lead gaga or tiger woods, those are the people that create the jobs in this economy. rick: republicans have been saying if you only keep the taxes lower for those making less than 250, you're going to sock a lot of small business owners. >> that's right. iraq rick these are small businesses that really do create the bulk of the jobs in this country. by raising it to a million, senator schumer says that would really include virtually all small businesses. is he right? >> well, except here's the problem. as you increase the income threshold, $500,000, a million, 50 million, what you're doing is you're taxing business in corks
full body scanner? >> you know, i think so, rick. i think that you can expect that and i think unfortunately, you know, any of us in -- any citizens of our country today would probably feel a little bit hesitant about going through a pat-down like that, but our a adversaries are resilient and these they're requirements we'll have if we are going to combat their obvious, very obvious attempt to continue to target our aviation industry, especially... rick: people don't like the full body scanners, they say it's an invasion of their privacy and i've heard security experts say it doesn't even work, the way we need it to. and, now, you hear about the techniques that is used in the full body pat-down and how graphic it can actually get. you know, i think there are a lot of people out there who are wondering, isn't there a happy medium and some way for us to keep unsafe passengers off of
apparent from public records is that hoffman's parents live in a home in howe arrested, where the family, the three-person family and family friend all disappeared from. that's the only apparent connection through public records. rick: wow, a bizarre case. maybe we'll learn more as the search continues for those missing people. steve brown in chicago, thanks. martha: and a fox news alert for you this morning on surprising new retail numbers that are coming in today. u.s. retail sales, posting their biggest gain in seven months, so that is certainly a good sign, the commerce department reporting a 1.2% jump in october, nearly double what was expected, and that's the biggest increase we've seen since march. car sales also helped to fuel that rise, but that's certainly a piece of good news for the economy. if people get out there and buying, maybe christmas shopping dicking in and car sales doing well, so confidence in the market, it seems. rick: nice to see, we'll see
