Utah congressman Oversight Committee chairman of Fox News Contributor Jason Chaffetz is here at Kings College business and economics professor brian brenberg. Good morning. Happy monday. Dagen good morning. Maria allowed to talk about already this morning. Dagen nfl protesters who did not come on the field was an antitrump protests. It was nothing more than that. Lets remind all of them that it was gold star mothers day yesterday. It was gold star families, how about standing for those whove lost loved ones serving this country, fighting for the right to take that name. We have to start the conversation novice Technology Never would have the right to protest in the right to their own free speech. Having said that, its an insult not to stand for the American Flag because the American Flag is representing more than what they may be protesting. Maria and find a very disrespectful. We are not hypocrites either. We acknowledge their right to do that. Again its also the right of the owners if they want to implement a rule that says you have to do this. They can do that as a private business. When they take up the uniform, they can protest. If they wear the uniform, they better do it the coach says. I cant believe they let this go. Absolutely fundamentally wrong. Maria allowed on tap for this story. Also looking at markets with rogers make an appearance once again. The subcommittee chairman and congressman peter roth skin is with us to talk about details of the plan this week unleashed. Philadelphia 76ers in prudential ceo scott oneill back with us this morning and assistant secretary of treasury from Public Affairs tony say it will join us. Jack brewer has a couple of comments about that as well. Do stay with us for the conversation. The republican agenda in congress. President trump insisting eventually republicans will win when it comes to repealing obamacare for right now tax reform as his chief priority. I dont know what they are doing but eventually we will win whether its now or later. Eventually we will win on that. My primary focus and has been from the beginning you can imagine his taxes. I believe we will be successful in the largest tax cut in our countries history. Maria those comments coming us republican senators are unlikely to support the latest republican bill to replace obamacare. It is hard for me to envision getting to yes on this bill because my concerns are so fundamental. Right now they dont have my vote and i dont think they have likely either. I want to be a guess. I want to get there because obamacare is a disaster. Maria senator collins and present a proposed in the bill to fall short of the 50 votes needed to pass with senator john mccain and rand paul coming out against the legislation. This is the grahamcassidy bill hoping to defeat Senate Republicans adding billions of dollars to the bill in an effort to win support from republicans including susan maine. Political congress reporter. What is your take with new developments . We can very well see about, but even the republican resources. Rand paul conservative to take this bill further to the right than get rid of obamacare regulations. If they do that, and independent clear that leadership can actually buy folks off by giving states more money. I dont think its possible. Maria sounds like deja vu all over again. Rachel, good to see you. I was on the receiving end for a long time. Listen, mike lee is also going to drop off the list. Is there anyone else that is really wavering here in the final hours before they make about . We will see a lot of members wavering. John mccain is for now. Ted cruz thing is not going to do it. Rand paul, Susan Collins let me know. If you do not have anywhere near the 51 you need to pass it, chances are youll see a lot of people repealing. Watch moderates. Here these guys go because if they dont have the numbers you will see a lot of people criticize this. This is brian brenberg. You heard the presidency eventually we we will win on the thing. A lot of people saying this might be the last chance republicans have to do something about health care. You see it that way are republicans getting another bite at the apple mixture of this is the work. They campaigned on for so long. I dont see how they can get up and walk away. On the hill we hear republicans say we have one week to basically pass the bill that allows them to circumvent democrats and basically block the filibuster expired at the end of the month. The ritual that mixture into that again. Right now tax reform where they will be more successful with health care and tax refund next year could just tell tax refund. Definitely a debate about whether to retry next your move on. Maria the potential know from republican senators, are there chans that the leadership can make to the bill that would get them on board with it or at least most of them . Or do you see differences in what they want out of this thing . They can make changes for more of the regulations, but if they do that, it is a nowin battle because if they try to get votes on one side of this but im kind the end of pushing away the other side. Rachel, one more question for me. There is no chance they will pass a budget in their implications for this because if you dont pass a budget, you cant read of the reconciliation package and the opportunity moving forward then you have to get 60 votes as opposed to 50 that you have to pass a budget due to past april 15th. Here we are at the end of september and there is no chance for passing a budget out of the senate. This is a sleeper issue that not a lot of people are talking about. They have to pass a budget, the house and senate and passed the same if they want tax reform under gop partisan basis which is their current plan without democrat. I do think leadership is going to try to pressure republicans. We are not even going to get to tax reform. It will be successful in the house. Ive talked to conservatives who will not block tax reform by blocking a budget. Ultimately if republicans are blocking a budget in the senate, i can tell you trehat fi and fury will come down because they want to tax reform. I dont think its impossible they do it. Its the issue no one is talking about right now but they have to do it to get to tax reform and republicans talk about tax reform all the time right now. Maria what you think the implications are if they dont pass the budget had been married to the 60 votes . The tools they use to get to 50 votes as reconciliation. Reconciliation only capable when you invoke the budget. Here we are at the end of the fiscal year they dont even have it on the calendar let alone getting together between the house and senate in unifying the budget. I think that is why the white house are saying they are trying to Court Democrats in the senate because they are concerned they wont get the majority they need and if they did 60, theyll need a democrats. Maria we will leave it there. Great to have your insight. Rachel, thank you. Well take a break. When we come back, taking a knee. Owner showing solidarity this weekend for the right to protest the National Anthem. Strong reaction coasttocoast including the white house. The cardio in service is desperate after the city pulled his license payer. Back in a moment. Can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can can i kick it . Yes you can well im gone for tech advice. Dell Small Business advisor with one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business. They have businesses to run they have passions to pursue how do they avoid trips to the post office . Stamps. Com mail letters ship packages all the services of the post office right on your computer get a 4 week trial plus 100 in extras including postage and a digital scale go to stamps. Com try and never go to the post office again maria tear in the church near nashville. But the details. The hamas carrying two guns entered this church yesterday after fatally shooting a woman outside the parking lot. Then he walked to the church, so shooting six were people inside. One of the Church Ushers was able to subdue him. Another gun and a shotgun vehicle to the liquor from sudan was injured that is in Police Custody. He will be charged with murder. President trump has approved the travel restrictions of people coming to the u. S. From a Country Spirit under the new rules on october 18, most citizens of north korea at chad, iran, libya, somalia, venezuela and yemen will be banned from entering the United States. North korea and venezuela in the earlier ban we should note here at Officials Say valid visas would not be revoked under restrictions but the band im mostly muslim countries should remind everybody expired yesterday. But the timing of the new order from the white house. Uber trying to negotiate with london days after the city refused to renew the license to operate there. Uber repairing illegal repeal for them. They can operate in london during the appeal process. Maria, you talked a lot about this story last week and it continues today. Back to you. Maria meanwhile, more than 200 nfl players refuse to stand for the National Anthem this weekend. Jared max with the story. Good Football Games actually, but this story at the moment is this National Lampoon protest. Reporter yesterday, maybe the most exciting nfl sunday weve seen in a long time. The collection of is largely overshadowed by what took place at every nfl game yesterday. While the Pittsburgh Steelers chose to stay in the locker room yesterday, Coach Mike Tomlin said he didnt want everybody to have to get involved or pick a side. One steelers player come at an army veteran stepped on the edge of the field. Going away for was an army ranger in afghanistan and he did not give them what he hoped for which is one of participation. Tennessee titans receiver became expressive with his cleats yesterday. Red white and blue in on the back they read we all bleed the same. While some nfl owners said lofton are with players and key personnel yesterday, nascar team owner said a of his empyees if they kneel for the National Anthem they should respe the country we live in. Some gave their lives for it. This is america. Richard petty says anybody who doesnt stand up for that ought to be out of the country. Interesting day in all of sports, maria. Maria it really is. Weve got fire reactions all morning. First, your reaction. I was a placekicker in college at one point in time. There is a solution for those people who have trouble with the National Anthem. They can go play in the canadian football league. I think it is disgusting. The one thing if the flag. You wear it on your uniform. They have been on the back of their helmet. Maria i really got out recently saw the eight euros last week take to their knee. I dont think these kids understand what they are doing and what they are protesting. That is why i am outraged, i padded sole. That is when i feel like you need to understand what the American Flag represents. Dagen i absolutely agree. I find it repugnant these individuals cant stand for the National Anthem. That being said, i do back peoples right to a freedom of expression and freedom of speech. What i found so hypocritical and delusional, all the left wing liberals online over the weekend chanting over and over again about the right of these players to express their dislike of the president or express their upset with the way black men are treated by cops across this country, yet they are the very ones who want to shut down free speech on college campus, that at every turn to try to silence anybody who does not agree with them. Americans like it was going on in the nfl field and they are looking for heroes are they see people who play the role that for millions of us looks very unheroic that will hurt the nfl. Who wants t see that come to sit down with their kid and watch him explain the issue on a football field. Maria this is a money story because the reasons the advertisers pay up is because of audience members. A 10 rate instructed me to a 200 million operating income. Those are very large bills to pay for the broadcast rights theyll pay for. A 1 to 8 drop in stock price among all the broadcast companies. We also see a dip in attendance as well in the nfl. Dont think for a second this is only the nfl. Now in nature that is all. Well extend to hockey. President trump went to pittsburgh and said they will come here for the stanley cup celebration. Mba, says curry and lebron james the two most popular basketball players may also cross party lines. The favorite player say they are somewhat conservative. South korea has incredible Approval Rating. So we say what is going on here . The most popular player in the nba. Color of skin or no color of skin. Maria i did watch a single game yesterday and i love football. Maria would not lose your protest. Dagen i just want to watch them play some football. That is it. Can we keep politics out of sports . I thought it was a safe ground. The truth is i takin indian politics and sports and i thi lot of sports fans are. We are sick of it. There is a need for the toy store in life. When you go into the ice cream shop, dont serve me what a dont ask why because ill go find another ice cream shop. Maria good point. Thank you, jared max. Fox News Headlines 24 7 with sirius radio. Sirius xm 115. The president is confident he will deliver on his election promise. I think it will be terrific yet i think it will go through and be the largest tax cut in the history of our country.

A very, very strong couple of years. I own a lot of u. S. Dollars and expect them to go high. The euro will have more problems come in the yen will have our problems.

Nearly every snap election in the next year, but they cause problems for the establishment. This one will, too. Mr. Ames says hes going to raise taxes.

Cac quarante in paris down a third of a percent. The dax index in germany up in the fraction of that victory. In asia overnight, markets were mostly lower as you see there. Hang seng and hong kong low performer. The top story, the rise of the far right in germany, chancellor Angela Merkel won a fourth term but did not garner enough votes to govern without coalition. This is the first time a farright wing party has gained entry into the German Parliament in over 60 years, joining us right now the center for strategic and International Strategies senior fellow and Europe Program Deputy Director jeffrey, jeff, good to see you, thank you for joining us. What do you make to have rise to have alternative for germanys what does this mean for the country . Well, german politics has certainly become more complicated after yesterdays election result. But it also hasnt fundamentally changed. Merkel will Form New Coalition Government that will be different with different parties but, you know, while the afd got 13 of the vote, that means the other parties got 87 . So i think this will be a new headache for her but its not going to prevent her from forming a government thats going to be able to do the job as she sees it. Jeff, over the past decade, theres basically been zero difference between the two major parties in germany. A lot of people are saying, thats whats driving the popularity of farright party, do you see that changing, do you see a shakeup in germany, some difference between the christian democrats and the social democrats . Well, that was certainly one of the major message that is the social democratic leader gave yesterday when he acknowledged defeat in the election. He said they are not going to join anothernmen gover and go into opposition and they lets keep in mind, merkel had a disappointing result but even worse for the social democrats, they got the worst result ever since the founding of the federal republic of germany and so look for them to have a much sharper profile, to be much more critical of merkel and the center right in parliament and i think thats going to really change the the atmosphere in the German Parliament as we look ahead to this coming four years. Hi, this is Jason Chaffetz. Tell me a little bit about the platform, what were they really campaigning on . What was the driving issue for the far right to have have gains that they havent been able to have in the past . Well, i think the first thing i would mention is that the votes for the afd were mostly about protests and not about program. It was a vote of, no confidence, if you want to call it that by that 13 of the electorate, which was unhappy with germanys direction and it was less an endorsement of the specific elements of the program, but if you look at afd stands for, their chief focus is antiimmigration, theyve thats what has driven them to the numbers they have achieved. But really its an antiimmigration message that has driven their relative success this time. Dagen jeff, by extension, would that apply to fear of terrorism or a lack of like intense fight against radical islamic terrorism in that country . Germany has a very healthy economy, full employment, if you will, and Angela Merkel had 60 Approval Rating before going into this election and normally people vote on money, on their own financial livelihood but not in this instance. In this case, i think its about two things. I think its about the changes of the German Economy. Germany has been quite successful but at the same time there is, you know, a segment of the population tha has struggled and so you see that in this result, but i think its also its also the case that the fundamentals of the German Economy remain strong and i think that shes going to try to deliver on that for that broad segment to keep to keep herself in power. Maria let me move onto brexit talks, obviously the fourth rounds of talks for britain to exit the European Union, get underway in brussels, next month european leaders expect today decide on issues like rights of citizens, the socalled divorce bill before moving onto trade relationships. What should we expect from todays talks at this point . Well, i think there was a lot of attention that Prime Minister may got last friday when she delivered a speech on on the uks position, but and while she said she would like a transition period of two years, she has still not layed out the precise details of their position. So i think what everybody is going to be looking for today is whether the British Government has a clear negotiating position that will allow them to make progress on these thorny issues, the Free Movement of people, how to deal with the divorce bill as you called it and the future relationships between Northern Ireland and ireland. All of that is necessary before talks can really start about the future trade relationship with with the European Union and and until that happens, you really cant sort out anything else like the u. S. Trade relationship with the uk and so forth. So all of that hasust bee pushed probably two years down to road by theresa mays speech where she said, they would accept a transition period where all the current rules apply. Maria all right, we will leave it there. Jeffrey, thank you very much. Thank you. Maria thousands living in shelters, weaken dam that threatens devastation. And facebook, well, we are watching facebook this morning after founder Mark Zuckerberg changes mind about big change that would have affected his control of the company.

Kushner said and responded fewer than 100 emails from white house officials from private account. Whies white castle targeting china. Now beef consumption continues to rise, maria, in china and whats better than a White Castle Burger . Maria there you go. Jared kushner and email. Its interesting that we are talking about a private email on cnn i was watching how they were reporting it and they were coming back and there was all of the criticism about Hillary Clinton having private email. No, that was a private server. So i want to make the distinction of private server versus private email. There is a difference but i can tell you having been the chairman of the Oversight Committee this is a problem. Dagen oh, yeah you were. [laughter] this is a problem, you cant use this and opens up investigators to wanting to look at all of your emails and its a problem. Maria its hard to explain it. Why do you need a private email. You obviously dont want your email to be tracked by government. Whats the reason . It doesn look right. If everybody did that and a lot of people do, then they dont have a good complete record of what is a government record. Communications with the white house are supposed to become part of public record, right, things that have to be disclosed and you think everybodys sensitivity would be so high and surprises me that he would do that. That picture is a funny picture, the one that was just up because hes looking at me before we shook hands. [laughter] maria thats funny. Hes a great guy, jared, you cant do this. I dont think what level of government it is. You cant do it. Maria you use government email when youre doing government business, is that how you do it . You have to go back and make that part of public record. If youre ordering shoes from zappos you give them with current email but everyone in government kushners Attorney Says its more than 100 emails. Now you open to them wanting to look at all of your emails. Maria right. Exactly. We are checking markets and also looking at the very latest details on the new travel ban, stay with us for free.

Maria welcome back, forget the cash or plastic, now Payment Option is right at fingertips, literally. Super market in University First in the world to pay for groceries with fingervein scanners. Joining us right now the ceo. Explain how the Technology Works . Hi, good morning. Yeah, the Technology Works quite simply. We use infrared light which scans your finger, we have very clear vein structure so much so that we can get 1 and a half thousand point mark. A very strong why is it better than retinol scan. They take a scan of my eyeballs and i dont have to touch anything, why do you think this is better than doing a retinol scan . So we are dealing with points of sale and gates to get to, football stadiums and festivals and comes down to cost versus speed versus usability. The devices are relatively inexpensive compare today compared to retinal scan, its much more cheaper. But i think because we are cheap, we can can do a cloud match we are matching in the cloud. Maria are there any health risks to this, whether retinal scans or finger, what are the health risks . This is a medical piece of technology. I dont think theres any health risks. Infrared is present in sunlight. The device was use today spot the early signs of Heart Disease and can spot the early signs of diabetes. Its been in the industry for years but its medical, not not in anyway to link point of sale. Nick, how do you get customers comfortable with this . I have to admit when i read this and thinking about doing this, it seemed sifi, is there a breakin period for customers or are people very willing to go through this . Well, its a good question. We have been testing this since 2012 in Music Festivals so we would introduce cashless system. People are weary about biometrics. I dont know if its the same in america but in europe its always been synonymous with crime. We have to get over that. Thats completely a lot of education has t goh the technology so that people understand how safe it is, how accurate it is now, quicker to identify you because all you need is you, you dont need to carry anything, lots of other biometrics are linked so if we lose them we lose the ability to identify ourselves. Education we need to talk to the people. Dagen any businesses here in the u. S. Using the technology . Please come see us there, finger pay, theres a lot of u. S. Businesses talking to us and we are starting conversations next month. Jason chaffetz again, explain the finger vein versus fingerprint. You go with apple phone and you unlock it with fingerprint, why is this better and is it more secure . So with fingerprint, jason, we tend to find it did you dt work, if your hands are dirty or sweaty that will not work and we cant take that chance. Fingerprint also is on glass, its probably one of the easiest to acquire biometrics known to man. Its been around for 30 years. This internal, its a 3dbiometric and you will never get it off of me without my knowledge. Maria thats true. Nick, thank you very much, we will be watching the developments there. The highch way to turn your badge from basic to red carpet worthy. Wait till you hear this. Next hour mornings with maria. Stay with us. I can do more to lower my a1c.

The Health Care Battle is on as republicans push forward with yet another effort to repeal and replace obamacare. Opposition, though, is rising and continues to rise within the party. Things are expected to get heated in Senate Finance hearing later today. The debate comes as the white house prepares to tackle yet another key agenda item, tax reform, republicans will unveil plan on wednesday. The president will unveil his plan on wednesday. The president is going to give a preview of what to expect. He did so this weekend. We think we are going bring the individual rates to 10 or 12 . Much lower than it is right now. This is a plan for the middle class and for companies so they can bring back jobs. Maria more on battle for tax reform coming up this morning. Investors are eyeing, thats off of the lows, nasdaq, s p 500, right around breakeven. In europe Angela Merkel won a fourth term. Not the success that everybody expected as a result the euro is down today. Take a look, ftse right around flat. The dax index is up a quarter of a percent. 31 points higher. In asia overnight markets were mostly lower. Hang seng and kospi all down this morning. Tragedy in tennessee, more on motive and heroic actions to end the rampage. Another travel ban is in plan. President trump signed to restrict, details as north korea and venezuela are added to the list. Stock sup a quarter of a percent and the nfl and a war of words with the white house. Players and owners taking knee, the fan reaction coming up this morning. All the stories coming up and joining me to talk about all about it dagen mcdowell, Oversight Committee chairman and Fox News Contributor Jason Chaffetz and Brian Brendberg is here. Great to see you. Good morning. Maria lots to talk about this morning. Oh, my gosh. I really do believe that tax reform is where we should be going. The unsung story is the budget. The house and the senate have not passed a unified budget. If they dont so by the end of the month, they lose opportunity to get to 50 vote threshold as oppose to 60 which is much more difficult. Maria then forget about reconciliation. The president will release his details of his tax plan this week, probably on wednesday, but the republicans are taking a retreat to what, look at the tax plan . Last night ways and Means Committee met, they are meeting again today but ranking File House Republicans have no idea whats in this plan so they are not going to be voting in the house on wednesday, they are actually going to go to the navy yard, get together as a group and talk about what they want to see in tax cuts and tax reform. Maria hallelujah. About ten monthsat about ten months late thats whats hpening wednesday. To say they have a tax reform plan in place, not true. Dagen can they work . Where were they in august when this was urgent . How many days were off, 10 days . They havent been in session the last 10 days. They have only been in session 7 days so far in dagen its called teleconference. No soup for you. [laughter] maria right. Ceo of philadelphia 76ers is with us and new Jersey Devils, scott oneil will weigh in on controversy with the nfl. Tony will walk us through details of the tax plan and former nfl star jack brewer is here also weighing in on controversy and politicization of everything as the journal is writing. We kick it off this hour with top story, the push for tax reform. The white house set to unveil long awaited plan on wednesday. One that President Trump says hes confident will pass. We have a tax plan thats totally finalized. I think itll be terrific. I think it will go through and the largest tax cut in the history of our country. Maria now, official details have not been released but this is what we know to be in that plan, the Corporate Tax rate will be cut from 35 to 20 , the individual tax brackets will collapse from 7 to 3, the top rate will be 35 , followed by 25 , followed by 12 . The passthrough rate, thats the Small Business owners rate will be 28 . Again, this is the president s plan, its going to come out this week, its also going to eliminate most deductions except 3 sack red cows. We will talk about that with the chairman of house ways means subcommittee Illinois Republican congressman peter, and congressman good to see you this morning, thank you so much for joining us. Good to be with you. Maria we have having conversation about the leadup to tax reform and, of course, thats the budget. Jason chaffetz made the point, this budget was supposed to be in months ago, now we are facing the deadline, do you think you will be able to get a budget passed . I think we will. Most members of congress recognize thats a prelude to tax reform. Theres been le reluctance on tax reform until i know more about tax reform. This week they will know more about tax reform. The notion of people talking past one another where we have seen in the past several weeks in particular, they will be talking to one another and i think this is a process story at that point and i think it gets reconciled. Maria this wednesday the House Republicans will have a retreat talking about whats most important that needs to be in tax plan, whats most important to be in tax cut plan from your standpoint. From my point of view we have to move where rates are reasonable and low and the process is simplified. You have covered time and time again the mindnumbing complexity of tax code. We have to marry these two things. Number one gets rate low and make it so its simple and i think its an enterprise that can bring people together. Think about how fundamentally different that notion is than the entire drama about the health care debate. Theres nobody who is defending the status quo of our tax code and i mean, nobody likes the Internal Revenue code in entirety. Clearly people like some element of it. Think about how different that is than health care where you have feel that feel strongly about defending the status quo. I think you have an oortunity thats frankly once in a generaon and we have this Incredible Opportunity and we just need to drive towards consensus. Im not here telling you thats an enterprise, but i think theres a pathway to get this done. Maria let me ask you about deductions, right now what we understand that theyll only be three deductions that this plan wants to leave in, the charitable deduction, retirement deduction and the mortgage deduction, how hard is it going to be to eliminate the state and local income deduction . So i think anyone of these has to be evaluated in a totality of the whole plan, so im from illinois, for example, which is a hightax state and theres a lot of interest all the way around on this discussion point. My interest is making sure that the total Tax Liability of my constituents is going down. So any deduction or any suggestion of a deduction has to be evaluated within the context, what are your rates, what are the other elements of this, what happens when you get rid of this element and that element and so clearly weve got to make sure that the net, net effect is something that people say thats what i can relate to and i think most people are willing to step back and say, look, the tax code is complicated to the point of distraction and instead of sort of nickel and diming all of these things, show me the whole package. Show me the entire proposition and if the entire proposition is something thats a benefit for not only me and my family and my business but particularly from a competitiveness point of view to make the u. S. Is most attractive place to do business in the world, then i think they can arhe next elements of it. Maria please continue your thought. No, that was it. Maria congressman, let me ask you, why is it that this wednesday the House Republicans are going to have this retreat to talk about whats important in the tax bill and most republicans havent really seen this this plan by the big six, why is it that september 25th and most republicans still havent seen this plan . I dont understand why its taking so long to get on the same page on such an important piece of legislation . Here is the back story, a year ago in the summer, last summer, the house layed out a blueprint on tax reform, a list plan and laying out decisions is that were significant. Over the course of the year, that has been discussed and litigated publicly and people have weighed in and so forth, what youre seeing now is the natural process of reducing that from Core Principles to other decisions and now taxed and so forth. Here is what we want to avoid. We want to avoid the mistakes of health care where you had multiple plans, multiple approaches and there was not a conservative consensus on health care. What we are trying to do is get on the same page in terms of larger themes and what you articulated a moment ago in terms of the larger themes is largely the House Republican blueprint that now the senate and the white house in principle are signing off on. Okay, we have that touch point, lets move forward and i think theres plenty of time, theres an urgency but theres plenty of time to get this done. Maria plenty of time is a couple of days because you have to get budget done first. Yre assuming you cant do things simultaneously. Lets get that done this week, now you know what the parameters are, are you comfortable, lets move forward with budget and meanwhile the tax writing committees, once they get a signoff in terms of general themes lets move forward. Maria are you expecting the plan to be revenue neutral or not . Yeah, i think theres this is one of the themes that will be discussed on and it will be a negotiation thats been ongoing between the house and the senate. We believe in dynamic scoring in the house, is that is we presume theres Economic Growth and revenue that comes as a result of tax reform. We have to make sure that our Senate Counterparts are willing to score it in that same way and this is the part of the approach that these negotiators at top level have been dealing with. Largely on framework basis. Maria real quick, do you think that 35 top rate for individuals is going to fly in the face of the democrats saying we will not cut any taxes for the rich. Right now is 39. 6 to go to 35 . Is that look, here is what we have to decide. Do we want to pursue growth, if we want to pursue growth, lets pursue it. We can be sensitive on the distributional tables because what that argument is, look, this is all about distribution, if tax reform simply becomes a matter of redistribution, it really leaves so much on the table. We can be sensiti to distribution but we need to pursue growth and the total impact of this reform that we will be proposing drive towards growth which i think is good for everybody. Congressman, good to have you on the program. We will see you soon and look forward, peter roskam joining us there.

Maria welcome back, a shooting at a Tennessee Church leaving one person dead, several others injured after a mass gunman opened fire on sunday man. Armed usher being held a hero this morning for taking on the shooter. Fox news julian mele. Julian, good morning to you. Thats right, good morning, maria. We will get to the usher in just a second n. The last 15 minutes we got a hand of the affidavit, a copy of that. The gunman has admitted to shooting. Lets bring you a picture of you have usher, being held a hero. His name 22yearold robert ingel, here is what we told happen, robert, got into altercation with gunman and during the altercation the gunman was shot. At that point robert ingel, usher ran out to his car where he had a gun and brought the gun back inside and held the gunman at gunpoint until police arrived. Take a listen to what his father had to say. I think, what if, what if he had pulled the trigger because he had the gun pointed at him but, yeah, im proud of him. Frightening scene, Melanie Smith killed in the attack, she was killed outside the church as she was leaving sunday services around 11 00 oclock yesterday morning. Six others injured inside the church. By the way, the gunman, emanuel samson. Legal resident of the u. S. But we were told he came in 1996 about sudan. Maria let me ask you about the motive. Do we know what the motive is . We dont know what the motive is. There are a few of them, he actually posted three messages yesterday morning before this happened, so police certainly are going to be looking into all of that, as of right now we were not told of a specific motive. Maria julian, we will get back to you as news develops. Julian mele in tennessee. Two candidates bring in the big guns, Cheryl Casone with the details there. Big day is tomorrow, cheryl. Cheryl senator Luther Strange sounding optimistic of chances in a conversation that he had with you on sunday morning futures. This is about getting thicks done and i think we will turn out voters on tuesday and be successful. The Vice President will be in alabama on monday night. I like the momentum on the ground here. Cheryl and former white house adviser steve bannon going to campaign for roy moore, we should add who is a former Alabama Supreme Court justice. President trump backing strange but the white house suggests its not going to be a defeat if strange loses in the runoff. Strange was appointed earlier this year to take the place of senator jeff sessions.

When its time to get organized for retirement, its time to get voya. Maria professional athletes try to tackle President Trump, coaches and athletes across the nfl protested during National Anthem in philadelphia, the eagles owner jeffrey stood in solidarity with his players. Joining us scott oneil, ceo of new Jersey Devils and philadelphia 76ers. Good to see you, scott. Wow, what a debate. Where do you stand . Where do i stand . Sports is the platform to create dialogue in the country. Right now more than any time in history we need more dialogue and coming from philadelphia, the home of independence, the home of the declaration of independence, what a great document to guide us in terms of free speech, in terms of protest and creating an opportunity for us to get better and heal as a country. Maria we have been all saying that we really are disappointed that the players will not just respect the American Flag but we also want free speech in this country and we also recognize that these players are able to do whatever they want but give us the money side of the business here. Sports is such a rich heart of television, of the business, so what does this do in terms how does this impact the money side of things . Theres n shortterm implication on the money side. Im more connected to the nba and nhl than the nfl. Maria is it not happening in the nba . No, its not. The nba has a rule that you have to stand for the anthem. I dont think other leagues have that rule. But i think the nba players are those they are very socially active and socially minded and im not sure we should make this as about the flag as much as dialogue and social activism and opportunity to drive change. I think thats something that athletes were criticized for ten years ago and 20 years ago and players are saying, i have a platform, i have 5 million followers on twitter, i can actually make this world a little bit better and im going to do do it and i respect the athletes and their platform and how they do it. Dagen thats a problem that i have and certainly a lot of fans have, players who sit or kneel during anthem are disrespecting those who sacrificed their lives and even the gold star families who have lost loved ones defending these freedoms. Thats the issue and it is, again, its up to the owners if they dont want their players doing it because the nfl doesnt have a rule, if they dont want players doing it they could tell them not to and you are not seeing that happening. What we saw this weekend was owners standing side by side with the players and i think that you have its very rare that youll see the nfl owners, nfl players and nfl commissioner all aligned literally standing side by side for something and the way i take it and everybody has their own take, my take is theyre not disrespecting the servicemen, i have several servicemen in my family and history and i dont feel them as disrespectingrespecting the flat making a statement, that things have to change and get better. Theyre kneeling during the National Anthem, they are not kneeling during anything else but the National Anthem. Do you really believe that the dialogue has to happen while they have the uniform on because you know what, i look to sports as an escape, i dont care where you are in the political spectrum, do you really want players having the dialogue while they are dribbling a basketball . You know, i would say again, different perspective in the nba, i see our kid, Justin Anderson working with little kids who otherwise wouldnt have the opportunity to lift up and he gives them message. I see robert with kids in philadelphia making a difference. I see our players out in the community making a difference. We are much more about action than talk, although the talk and the symbolism thats different than game time . It sure is. Maria we dont want to dominate this conversation with this debate i dont feel like im under attack here. [laughter] maria we appreciate you. We love you. Let me ask you because you have an exciting new announcement. Tell us about what youre trying to do here. Sure, i worked for josh harris, they are wonderful guys who have taken new age ownership into sports. I started four years ago, we had the philadelphia 76ers, devils, the top 5 building in america, weve had cristal palace of english premier league, museum, 6ers innovation lab. Maria and technology, you can really use it and scale it throughout those businesses. Thats the idea. The idea is to get real synergy. Maria topic of the day that everybody was talking about. Dagen philadelphia the city that [laughter] dagen tough town. You have to bring it every day in philly. Maria President Trump tweeting this, so proud of nascar and supporters and fans, they wont put up with disrespecting our country and flag, they said it loud and clear. I want to point out while most americans do agree that people need to respect the American Flag, im not sure they want to see the president getting involved in this issue. Hes tweeting, doubling down and tripling down about it. Dagen yes, he is. Dagen richard childers, this isnt a problem in nascar. You have a prayer before every race, they broadcast that player and then you have the National Anthem and flyover. Theres no sport more patriotic at least. Maria no room for error in that setup. Dagen people will throw stuff at you. Maria when we come back, President Trump signs off on a new travel ban as the original order heads to Supreme Court. Judge Andrew Napolitano will weigh in on legal implications there. You want a cool crowd in your party, pay for it. Straight ahead, back in a moment. You wont see these folks at the post office they have businesses to run they have passions to pursue how do they avoid trips to the post office . Stamps. Com mail letters ship packages all the services of the post office right on your computer get a 4 week trial plus 100 in extras including postage and a dital scale go to stamps. Com try and never go to the post office agai. Maria good monday morning everyone. Thank you so much for joining us. It is monday september 25. Your top stories right now. He is set to unveil his tax plan. The travel ban expanded. At the white house adding three new countries to the list including venezuela and north korea. We are taking a look at the legal fallout. Devastation in puerto rico. After Hurricane Maria battered the territory. Showing the first sign of trying to return to noble normal. Being a tourist based economy we need the visitors to come to town. They come here and see way are beautiful resources. The servers in the bartenders everybody depends on them. Speemac with the latest developments coming up. Toymakers cutting ties with toys arrest. And fast food favorites could be coming right to your doorstep thinks to him is on. With some details on the new plan. The dow industrial is about 15 points. In europe this morning it is down. Asnt there. As the euro is trading down. Many people booted the players who kneeled yesterday. If they demand respect for our flag. The president is not backing down here. He continues to double down on his criticism with those people who kneel in the face of the American Flag. I never liked it when president obama would attack industries or individuals. Or even weight in a not to head nothing to do with the rules and regulations of operating. I know why the president did it in a speech on friday night. I dont stand by that. In terms of standing Everybody Needs to stand up when the National Anthem is played. I find it very disrespectful. Our courageous men and women go to fight all over the world for our freedoms and we need to respect that. They have have their right not to by the way. Thats why they are fighting for our freedom. They absolutely can protest. When you have the americans going to london to play a game they kneel during the National Anthem and when they play god slave god save the queen they stand up. The same people who are making what 100 milliondollar contracts. You are being paid by the greatest country in the world and youre able to have this incredible life. How about some respect for our people who are defending us. I know you say. They expanded the travel ban. The bid. The more targeted version of the order was revealed last night. They have no set and date and do include outright travel bands. Judge, good to see you. Do you expect this to be implemented. He signed it yesterday. The department of Homeland Security will begin implementing it as soon as the other one expires. Either tomorrow or thursday but the other order well definitely be expired by october 10. That is a day is going to be argued before the Supreme Court. Will they even hear an oriole agreement on executive order thats not moot. Did the president actually fall pull a fast one on the Supreme Court. Its rather dense. The present order. With respect to bona fide relationships. They took that hook on which john roberts hung his hat to get a majority of six justices to go along with that. And he put a country that is predominantly roman catholic. That this is an anti muslim band. Does this and basically undermine the challenge. That doesnt mean that more challenges will come. What is interesting about the challenges is that coming from government the challenges are the attorney general of various states taxpayers are paying for the challenge and their pain to resist the challenge. The Supreme Court is sitting there trying to decide should we rule on an issue that skin to to come to us one way or another or should we apply the Technical Rules and that we follow and not rule on something that doesnt exist at the time of oral argument. Does the court look at that differently and say look, you take a place like libya. The january b and was an outright ban. Until the Supreme Court carved the exception into it. Ambiguous term that is defined differently. It has a bill into it. The longer answer to the question is people will challenge it but it will be more difficult to challenge. By the campaign statements before he was elected. You are youre biting your tongue during that. They can tell them what they can and cant do in the workplace. They are the most prolabor collective Bargaining Agreement of any of the major collective Bargaining Agreements. It gives the nfl players a lot more leeway than that collective Bargaining Agreement. I dont think any of them could be fodder to for bending there knee because of the collective Bargaining Agreement. If they were fired they would be reinstated immediately. Im dissing broadly speaking legally. First amendment protections they dont apply to private businesses. They can get away with it. Unless they have a contract that gave them leeway. If you can burn the flag if it stands for the right to burn it doesnt stand for the right to bend your knee. Not my words. President trumpet just tweeted this. Nfl must respect this. I think the flag itself stands for the right to dissent from those who say we should all see it. Thats over satan also. We are defending the right to speak out but we think its wrong. I find it problematic. Its their right to do that. That was a scully a decision. Its a form of expression. These people who kneel actually it may be showing more respect for the flag. I dont know what theyre thinking. I think im in a go resist present drum. Yesterday, it was anti trump it was anti trump not been on the field. In my humble opinion. He should have more important things to do than this. I do think that most people dont want him dealing with the smaller issues. He was the army rancher ranger who served two chewers. And the coach was like it wasnt a hundred percent. The president of the United States should be defending the American Flag. No murray i want my president to do this. They have freedom of speech like the rest of us. After the devastation. And then toy makers toymakers cutting ties with toys r us. The companys battle to compete with amazon gets worse. Its all straight ahead. Anything worth pursuing requires knowledge, hard work and a plan. At baird, we approach your Wealth Management strategy the same way to create a Financial Plan built to last from generation to generation. Well listen. Well talk. Well plan. Baird. Can i kick it .

The white house never looked more beautiful than it did returning last night. Import meetings taking important meetings taking place today. The big tax cuts in reform. I like that tweet for the first time this morning were talking about things that affect every single american in fundamental ways. Thats what we will be talking about all week.

Maria republican lawmakers expected to unveil framework for tax reform this wednesday, joining us to weigh in from white house is assistant secretary of the treasury tony, pleasure thanks for joining us. Good morning thanks for having me. Lets talk about what were expecting on wednesday, how House Republicans going to take a retreat cant bring all votes could actually talk about what is important what is important to the white house in terms of tax reform package we are expecting what are we going to learn we dont know. As you know the priority has also a been create jobs grow economy that benefits all americans, unfortunately, weve had a situation, for the last 8 years where we have had suboptimal growth 2 you know well what is happening, is wealth people get wealthier the rest of the country does not advance created idea because we havent head tax reform 30 years system rigged against average hardworking American Family what we are focused on making sure we kraefs the administration has been working very closely from the beginning with Congress Senate and house side you are going to have as discussing a framework relief that shows the agreement between the administration, and the two tax running committees on hill aways and means house, senate finish wednesday going to lower rates simplify code make this country more competitive by making sure of businesses have competitive factors smail and large corporations because these are job creators, 50 of our jobs are created by america Small Businesses pay now largely 39 we need to address that dramatically, our corporation, has no incentive, to reinvest profits into this country because we have among highest Corporate Taxes in developed world dressing these we help workers create jobs help grow economy. I want to ask about that there is a story in the journal today about the tax plan could be the high wage earners little to gain when you are look aththe high earners rate versus passthrough rate i want to get back to that we have been having a conversation this morning, tony on the panel about the fact that budget is not done yet, so we were expecting a budget months ago, now, we are facing a real deadline here, dont you need to see a budget agreement before you actually come up with this 1 1 2 trilliondollar tax cut plan . You are right on timing the budget has to pass before we get to tax reform but that looks to be on track, again, we have been working closely with congress, on this issue, and we feel that we will have, a very good resolution to the budget will allow us come next month to have tax legislation, that moves forward and moves far as with the input of a lot of members going through regular order ultimately, house, the reason this is important to mote, we want to get tax reform done this year, it is not just kind of put a check next to the box it is because the economy needs this benefit, immediately. You know that we have been beginning to get good growth numbers, the markets are anticipating a lot of trump policies taking effect we are deregulatinging particularly on a lot of financial regulations that have crushed businesses crushed growth there is a lot of anticipation for this policy, and we need to ensure that the American People and those who want to invest, in job a creation in this country understand that we are going to give them an Economic Policy that benefits them benefits growing this economy creating jobs raising wages. These are all things that are center point what we are trying to do with tax reform why we need it done very soon. Maria in order to get a situation where you just need a 50 votes you have to go through conciliation you think you are going through reconciliation only need 50 votes you dont think budget pre will go too long in october in a situation where you need the dems to actually participate here. We have been reaching out to democrats as you know president took senator heidi high ca. Heidi camp we understand what we are trying to down rooigdz tax code hurts hardworking families we are trying to address raising, a lot of support for middle income families lowering their taxes, doubling the standard deduction makes first 4,000 dollars, of an average 24,000 dollars zero percent tax rate these are all things we know democrats have supported in the past, so we think there is opportunity. Obviously, we need to go through reconciliation need tax reform done, done this year. Let me ask you about the story in journal lowering tax rate requires lowering 39. 6 tax rate if you have got a 28 rate for passthrough, and a 35 rate for the highest earners do you agree with this story, basically is saying the gop tax plan leaves high wage earners with little to gain. If you are a Small Business owner creating jobs investing in your company you are increasing your worker rs paycheck you deserve to have a passthrough rate, that is lower than the top individual rate. And that is what were trying to address on pass through and corporate side trying to make sure we have the most competitive rate to make up, a country that sports growing business, and supports growing jobs in this country, on the individual side, these have never been maria as you well know given wealth a tax break we want a progrowth tax plan we want to lower rates obviously for as Many Americans as we can, but the focus has always been middle income family and Small Businesses. Maria let me ask you this, tony, what is going to be the big debate . Do you think the debate is going to be around the deductions that you want to get rid of like, elimination the state and local income deduction number one or is debate around that 35 highest earner rate you are still cutting taxes on highest earners from 39. 6 to 35 but you are eliminating if we are reading this right, that state and local income deductions so maybe ends up flat is that where sort of big fights are going to be the battles are going to be . People want progress here. But if you cant agree on this stuff obviously nothing gets done. Look, we automobile understand there is a reason tax reform has not happened in over 30 years, it is because lobbyists get involved, and people argue around a small parochial interest versus greater good of running economy creating jobs helping americans increase paychecks there will will be fights around deduction elimination no doubt about it trying to scalp almost every decrees except mortgage interest charitable protects savings everything he also you mentioned state and local tax look we automobile understand, that we need to simplify this code and we also have to make it fair so when you talk about state and local you are talking essentially about american taxpayers subsidizing mostly wealth taxpayers and high tax states, almost 80 of those who pay that deduction maria rather than benefit from that deduction earn 6 figures in america we dont need a country subsidizing bad state tax policy, and we need to make sure that we make a fairer code that benefits everybody not just a few. Maria right so if you eliminate that, that sort of offsets the idea i am talking about the state and local income deduction if you eliminate that, that offsets the idea that you are cutting taxes, from 39. 6 to 35, so the question is, is that going to stay . A 35 high rate there, or do you keep it 39. 6 then would it be an increase in taxes for the rich wouldnt it . Well maria as as we mentioned many times the president is not thinking about make have gone it easier for the wealth and well connected they are the ones benefiting from existing system. But they pay all the tax tony pay most of the tax dont they. And as you see, on the passthrough rate you ultimately show that we are making sure, that those people who create jobs invest in this economy and give their workers pay raises are going to have a significantly more competitive benefit, as far as their tax rate is concerned by us lowering passthrough rate we want to make sure economy grows we create jobs raise wages really basic idea behind tax reform you can call it a lot of things tax are reform tax relief this is a jobs bill about workers getting more money keeping more hard ended money as you very well know growing American Economy everybody beside not a few. Getting notes from wrote a wall street firms what a Corporate Tax rate means for s p 500 earnings what they might do with savings in terms can have investing in business talking about that this morning the other issue of the morning the nfl, the players across the country, locking arms kneeling during National Anthem yesterday in protest against the president ,at he scolded the league and the players over weekend, here your boss colleague treasury second Steven Mnuchin had to say about all of this lessen. Nfl has all different types of rules you cant have stickers on your helmet you have to have your jerseys tucked in i think the president is saying, is that at the owners should have a rule, that players should have to stand and respect for National Anthem the this isnt about democrats not about republicans not about race it is not about free speech, they can do free speech on their own time. This is about respect for the military, and the First Responders in the country this is a job employers have the right when the players are working to have rules. Maria tony my question really is is this a distraction look we all agree we have been talking about this all morning that, Everybody Needs to respect the American Flag. And the great freedoms this country affords everybody but at the same time, people have the right to do what they want people have the right they have that freedom to protest, and why is the president talking about this . Youve got north korea coming at him health care, tax reform, he is having argument with players. Maria we are talking about tax reform north korea a lot of other important issues i think media has harped on this, in my opinion yesterday you had second mnuchin two sunday shows we have tax reform coming this week weve got one tax reform question, between both shows, look we are unafraid to stand up for the American Flag, National Anthem all it represents that is people sacrificed so others can live their lives people scandalized as First Responders about those members of the military many ways we need to continue to honor you and i both know there is not a person working for a corporation that doesnt have a contract, that doesnt have to live by rules, that doesnt have to do what that Company Culture tells them they have to do this is exactly what the steak was discussing, the nfl makes rules for everything, for you thinkityou hadnt cking jersey what stickers on your helmet this says the owner could get together perhaps make a rule that says when National Anthem plays you stand up honor the country if you have something to protest do it off the field and out of your uniform. Treasury secretary mnuchin made good point about stickers tony good to see you thanks so much. Very good to see you thank you. We will be right back, stay with us.

Interesting the president would have this relationship and weigh in with Mark Zuckerberg i think a k disclosure element truth in networks and radio you have to say hows paying platforms dont have that i think congress is going to have stories of hearings move to regulate it particularly if they dont selfcorrect.

It is about respect for our country,ing in a, and National Anthem he ends by saying nfl must respect this, however maria many owners ended up calling the president s comments and statements throughout in the greatest of all time tom brady on Radio Station in boston echoed comments saying he felt the president his friend said is the victim. Blake burman, latest at the White House Joining us to weigh in jack brewer ceo of brewer group former nfl star, good to see you. Good to be on. Where are you on this issue jeff . This issue right here is one that has really bothered me really has me boiling. The problem with this is we are trained in a conversation the issue is here is the fact that the president of United States of america got on national tv at rally in alabama of all places, and called the men fathers sons community leaders, suns of bs on national twv six player took a knee sunday entire league supported the players took a knee didnt take a knee against flag did not take a knee against national an then took a knee against the president divisive language does not make sense. Maria what about the fact that they dont want to respect the American Flag . Maria anyone that doesnt respect the national the the flag, u. S. Flag you know how i feel about that, this i dont think this entire thing yesterday was just about that you had a lot of guys would never neil never disrespect our flag these guys fight for this country 99. 9 of them pay more taxes than anyone else in their age group taxpayers and patriots i know a lot of young men, but these the reason why the owners lashed out the reason the plaishdz lashed out the reason why, a lot of community lashed out is because of the way the president spoke against him, to call men out of name like that representing a lot of neighborhoods the towns the people, that they come from. That is what they do. It would be different the president was acting like these guys are out rioting causing havoc nonwere doing that this is a peaceful previous to United States of america i dont believe in kneeling i wouldnt neil but yesterday i may not even have come out of the locker room for anthem because of this entire situation. Maria you just didnt like the term he used the sob comment. You dont call a guy that. How, i mean he doesnt talk that way just Vladimir Putin and others, World Leaders dictators that hurt people he doesnt lash out against them like that, why attack those men in that way. Good point here is brian. Hey jeff a lot of players are saying this isnt about the flag isnt about country it is about Something Else wouldnt you say there are millions of americans out here who are not hearing that what they are hearing is this is about the flag, this is about the country, how do they players speak in a way where people believe they do have good because right now doesnt look like good will to a lot of people. No. Brian you make a good point, and i agree with you. This is how i a problem we have in our country. The problem we have right now that is the National Anthem the flag, does not represent the same thing for all american citizens, you got deep deeprooted history with our National Anthem, starting with man who wrote it starting with the actual lyrics of the anthem a lot of people are divided because of that and that is an unfortunately thing because you start taking in account military all the brave sr. , men and Women Police Officers fighters all great machines are come together and unite in times of crisis i am in houston, texas right now continuing to deliver aide around a bunch of americans that have each others backs trying to bring each other out of a terrible situation what this country is about i dont want to take the conversation too far away from the fact the facts are that this sunday the National Football league and players stood up against president of the United States not against the flag, and not against the anthem. Dagen but did it during the anthem jack that is the issue, if they wanted to protest here, as a fan of that support and devoted one except for yesterday, when you have a an actor an actress they are very vocal politically, i can still watch their Television Show or go to one of their movies and not be subrejected to their political opinions the two are completely removed in terms of their work their craft, their product, and how they feel about the president or some other political issue. But with football, it is an up front politicization of this issue, and you cant get away from it, that is what is going to hurt that support potentially. So dagen you may be right lets keep in mind the National Anthem players didnt always even come out for that that is. Dagen a recent thing. Exactly, the players didnt come out from that most guys are preparing for Football Game they are they are there to play football they are are not to watch the National Anthem only reason people are politicking it folks are talking about it the players when you are getting ready for a Football Game you got to do a lot of speaking and preparing and getting your body ready to go out there and play violent game. Why are they kneeling then. Maria, i wouldnt say most of them stand but that is not the point a lot more took a knee because the man called them sons of a bitches. Jayson chaffetz here what is going to happen next sunday where does this end where is the conclusion of this at what point does this actually concluded the National Anthem is no place we need to start politicking things we can talk about social issues fight social issues in my opinion i hope players stay in the locker room prepare for game they can hang the flag anywhere you can pollute the flag anywhere dont have to do that in public i hope they go back to that so we get away from this focus on playing football more importantly, come together as a country, you got a lot of people, who see eyetoeye with same players just dont realize it, because you see a guy on the sideline supporting his teammate some of these men that is the way at the know and understand how to stand up for rights that they believe in, and as americans, so long as doing it peacefully, you know weve got to have some understanding about that i think we have taken this too far hopefully this thing can bring it together not defy is first and foremost we need our leader we need the leader of the country to stand up bring us together not talk about guys like that all you are doing when you throw first punch guys are going to punch back i am the same way, going to punch back that is what happens.
