Next. Yeah, hand recount almost certainly going to happen in the senate race between governor rick scott, the republican and incumbent Democrat Bill nelson. Their margin is under a quarter of 1 and that will automatically trigger a hand will count that will start thursday nights or friday mo morni morning. All of this as we learned that federal prosecutors are looking into possibly doctored formed that were sent to florida voter as ledgedly tied to florida democrats. Taking a live look inside the Broward County operations. The ballots for early voting and mailin votes have all by recounted and set aside. Next up, election day votes. Theyll get recounted and officials here expect to be done with that tomorrow morning. Inside the roundtheclock palm beach recount operation, ballots counted again. Worker had to redo a full days of recounting that was lost because of machine malfunction. We never expected them to run four recount. We prepared to use them to the recount. Expectation wasnt this. Palm beach county does not believe they will finish in time. Miamidade election was prepared early and did not wait until sunday to start as did brow wards. Last night miamidade vote counters recalled the last ballot. 15 legal challenges have been filed on both sides. Today in federal court in tallahassee a judge heart a lawsuit filed by democratic senator bill nelson who is behind by 12,000 votes. Nelson contends that just base its signature on a mailin ballot did not match the one on file, it should not be thrown out but counted. Two hours from now, a judge will hear arguments argument bill nelsons request that a federal judge order the entire thursday 3 00 p. M. Deadline to be tossed out until every single county in all 67 counties completed the deadline. Neil . Neil rick scott was on capitol hill for Senate Orientation day as the recount fight was going on in florida. Real clear politics a. B. Stoddard. A. B. , i believe that bill nelson was in washington going about whatever duties he performed as a United States senator. So you have two florida senators vying for the same senate post that will conduct business as usual, i understand, until we get some closure on this. When will that be . Well, its my understanding, neil, that overseas ballots from members of the military were allowed to be counted until friday the 16th. So i dont know what the decision will be made about the final deadline. But i do know that Public Relations is a big part of this. So everyone acts like the victor. I trust the courts to figure out this mess. I think its really a big statement about governor scotts tenure, that he did not take it upon himself to clean up this system knowing there were such bad problems in Broward County and Palm Beach County as well. Hes accountable for that. It will neil he could answer, you know, a democrat, i might have been unfairly involving myself in two democratic counties even though youre right, these were the ones that telegraphed trouble, particularly broward with repeated violations and problems. Now hes stuck, right . Governor jeb bush appointed brenda snipes. He helped a democrat replace the previous supervisor. That was brenda snipes. If they knew she had a bad record, brenda snipes who replaced the person that bush was so upset by, why didnt rick scott wait for a close election in florida . This is on Governor Desantis now to clean up in the next two years before the next president ial election. I trust the courts to piece everything together. I can understand why democrats think that bill nelson should be Walking Around the senate until the last vote is counted. Neil theyre both doing that. Thank you. If youre wondering why there was a sell off today, you might need to look no further than at Maxine Waters that was speaking and got stuck selling. This is what started it. Make no mistake, come january in this committee today, we can end regulations and putting our economy at risk of another financial crisis will come to an end. Neil banking regulations will come to an end. She was talking about backing off the pressure for big banks, Community Banks to comply with rules that were put in place after the financial meltdown, a lot of the banks want that eased up. She was sending a signal that no, no, no, this remain. Lets go to charlie gasparino, kathy arue. We were also dealing with apple moving into bear market and other developments. This rattled folks. I dont know why. It was welltelegraphed she was taking over that Financial Services committee and was very much against some of the easing up on regulations and pressure that washington would still hold over banks. Why was this such negative news . Itse. Lets be clear that trying to track down on certain risky activities among banks isnt the same as cracking down on them. It means that what they call Systemic Risk will have a new address. It can be somewhere for a nonbank firm in the u. S. , could be overseas. Youre not going to change the desire of those with savings and investments to get them to their highest use. All Maxine Waters is doing is weakening u. S. Financial institutions and limiting their ability to do what they do best. Is it any surprise that markets would correct based on this . Charlie, its only maxine, only her committee, only in the house where democrats have sway, not in the senate and certainly not in the white house. How realistic is this . I dont think the marked sold off because of this. Might have nearly out of fear. But investors are smart enough to know that she does not she cant tell the fed what to do, she cant tell the sec what to do, has no power over the justice department, the treasury department. She runs a committee in a democraticallycontrolled house that cant do anything to those levers of power. Those are the places that regulate banks and securities firms. Now, she can hold hearings and break their chops a little bit. And i hear neil hearings cathy, i want to go to you. Bill from new jersey would be on the house ways and means dealing with trade. He said the deals with mexico and canada, theyre worth another look. Im paraphrasing from a bloomberg interview. It sent another signal that theres different financial sheriffs in town. Im wondering what its setting up . This is all about the next election, this is how d. C. Works. The next election that matters the most and thats how d. C. Is won. These committees, these are important committees, important people. Chairman waters now. She cant do anything. She can do nothing to the regulators. She can pass bills she cant pass bills. The senate cant pass bills. She can control the conversation. She can do that. But we have not been talking about regulation she kind do anything. Neil im worry and the worry and the uncertainty this creates. We have a big old vacuum right now. How much does this enter into your planning and strategyizing . Waters cant do much. I agree with charlie. This may not be what has the miles an hours uncertain. Lets not forget that china is a massive market for u. S. Companies already. Neil its weakening. And grow in time. Lets also add in the news today, theres a fight going on in the administration between those that want to engage with china and those that dont. Notable hear is the President Trump has not taken a side. Is it any wonder then that investors would sell down a little based on the fear that trump might side with the Peter Navarro wing of the white house that wants to make china the enemy. And higher Interest Rates is the other thing. Theres two banks in the cross hairs, Deutsche Bank because of their connection with donald trump and wells far goes in Maxine Waters back yard. Thats it, basically. She could stop them from doing anything. She has a megaphone and shes going to use it. Neil well see. Thanks, guys. In the meantime, its cnn versus trump. A hearing in a u. S. District court in washington taking place. At issue is whether the white house can regulate a journalists access after President Trump pulled jim acostas press pass. Cnn argues that access should be restored. Earlier i had a chance to ask former nbc president and ceo bob wright about this very issue on fox business. Youve been reading the battles this president has had with the press, wanting to take away jim acostas press credentials. This network, fox, supports cnn and its legal efforts to hold on to them. How do you feel about the administrations war with, in this case, cnn, but the press in general . I wish it wasnt there. I think its distracting. I do resent the fact that cnn spends about 40 of its time attacking the president in one form or another. Theres nothing that he can do that is any good and anything he does that is good doesnt get a lot of coverage. So its its a shame. Its a shame. Neil in your days, running the network, you wouldnt have supported the president revoking a press pass. Well neil or would you . It depends. But the answer is no. You could suspend somebody. Youd say, okay. Maybe you dont show up for the next one or Something Like that until you get your act together. Neil what do you think of jim acosta . Youve seen him i thought it was unfortunate performance on his part, too. He was standing up. He wouldnt relinquish the microphone. He was asked to do it three or four times. That was inappropriate. You know, he could have been asked to sit down and not answer anymore questions. Theres other ways to deal with it. Its blown up now. Its another neil if your days, you had bigger things to worry about. Did you ever call reporters or anchors on the carpet for something that they got wrong or hyperventilated . I would go through andy lack at that time. Who was a very good news director. I would go through other people. Generally i wouldnt call the reporter directly but i might talk to the reporter after it was over. Neil fox news is supporting cnn in this endeavor. It is still in court. Well have more after this. The United StatesPostal Service makes more holiday deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. With one notable exception. I can do more to lower my a1c. Because my body can still make its own insulin. And i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like its supposed to. Trulicity is not insulin. It comes in a onceweekly, truly easytouse pen. And it works 24 7. Trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. Dont use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes, or if you have type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Dont take trulicity if you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, youre allergic to trulicity, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, these can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. To help lower my a1c i choose trulicity to activate my within. Ask your doctor about onceweekly trulicity. To help lower my a1c i choose trulicity to activate my within. You ok there, kurt . Were about to move. Karate helps. Relieve some of the housebuying. Stress. At least you dont have to worry about homeowners insurance. Call geico. Geico. Helps with. Homeowners insurance . Been doing it for years. Im calling geico right now. Good idea get to know geico. And see how easy homeowners and renters insurance can be. Neil the death toll for the california wild fires is at 50 right now. Firefighters work to contain the blazes. Claudia cowan has more from paradise. With the death toll here at camp fire at 48 and climbing higher every day, the big question is how many more victims will be found. Butte county officials have just released an undated list of those missing. The list of 98 people, almost all elderly, that havent no been seen since the fire started. Among the dead, 48yearold j jesus fernandez. And ernie fox was a San Francisco native that perished with his dog outside his home here in paradise. Right now ryan zinke, governor jerry brown and fema administrator brock long are meeting with First RespondersPromising Health from the highest levels of government. A small army of coroner recovery teams, chaplains and 100 members of the National Guard searching every piece of property as quickly and as thoroughly as possible because the one thing they dont want is for someone to come across human remain once the evacuation is lifted. No word when that will happen. Not knowing about their loved ones or their homes, coupled with the very unhealthy air, adding to the anxiety for 52,000 evacuations. Many shelters at capacity and many camping in parking lots. Im at a walmart in this tent here. I went from owning a house to living in a tent. We got notice that we lost everything. Its very disheartening to know youre homeless. Theres a lot of questions about the road ahead. I dont know how to proceed. Were trying to walk through this one day at a time. Nearly 6,000 firefighters have the camp fire 30 contained. Video taken from a drone shows most of the city of paradise in ashes. Important to know, the hospital, high school, city hall and several Department Stores didnt burn. They will serve as symbols of hope and endurance as paradise faces a very long road to recovery. Neil . Neil thanks, claudia. California governor jerry brown, ryan zinke in california today assessing the wild fires. President trump said hes with the people of california. Captain brick mullen joining me on the phone from the california fire department. Thanks for joining me. How are things looking . Things are looking better. The front started deeper than normal. A lot of people were caught by surprise. The paradox about malibu, its all about mother nature. Shes beautiful. But when she loses her temper, everybody runs for their lives. Thats what happened here. For like our brethrens in northern california, we fared better. The body count is up three for us, which is tragic, but its nothing on the scale of whats going on with the camp fire. A lot of devastation here a lot of memories lost for people and everyone on the outside is trying to get back in. When you look what happened in northern california, were happy that everybody got out for the most part, in the city of malibu, nobody was killed. In the surrounding areas, there was two people that got killed leaving their homes. Its in the city that they may have found another body. By comparison, we made out lucky. The devastation is considering. Its all about mother nature. Neil im wondering now, residents look at the sky and ponder what is next. What do you think is next . What do you do after this and planning for whatever could happen after this . Well, wild fires and big fires arent anything new to malibu. We plan for it all the time. We plan as best we can. On a scale of Something Like this, theres no way that you can do all the resources you need to take care of everybody. So triage type of a situation where you deal with the priority, number 1 is life and then property and then the environment and we were very successful in the first category of life there were some tragedies. I feel bad about family members, anybody that lost life in this. Its feel very badly for anybody that lost their homes in this. We can rebuild a home but not replace a life. For everybody that is on the outside wanting to get back in, i know youre inpatient, you want to get back in but well get you back in as soon as we can and commensurate with safety and security. We dont want a free for all. Still a lot of infrastructure repair. They replaced hundreds of telephone poles. Theres an army of public works people swarming the area trying to get it back together. Its a war zone. In my particular district, its like a nuclear zone. 50 of my district is destroyed. Its not as bad in the city of malibu but its bad. Probably as bad as weve ever had. Here on out, its about getting it together. Neil thanks, mayor. You have your priorities right. Much more after this. engine roaring horn honking okay, okay, okay. clatter feeling unsure . Oh. nervous yelp what if you had some help . With the confidence of ford copilot360 tm technology. The most available Driver Assist technology in its class. the new 2019 ford edge. A town where almost half the population is selfemployed. this is stonington, maine, lobster fisherman is the lifeblood of this town. By 2030, half of america may take after stonington, selfemployed and without employer benefits. We havent had any sort of benefit plans and were trying to figure that out now. If i had had a little advice back then, id be in a different boat today, for sure. Plan your Financial Life with prudential. Bring your challenges. Ive always been amazed and still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. To reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. Plus has significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Whats next . Reeling in a nice one. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden sign of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis, the number one cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you. Its very clear that support to support police is necessary right now. Neil defense secretary james mattis visiting troops in texas. Nearly 6,000 troops there are ready to help with the Migrant Caravan on its way. Jennifer griffin has more. Thats right, neil. Defense secretary mattis met with troops and was there with Kirstjen Nielsen today. He said theres about 5,900 troops deployed but the number could go as high as 7,000. He said he didnt anticipate military personnel coming into direct contact with migrants. Theres all sorts of stuff in the news and that sort of thing. You just concentrate on what your Company Commander tells you. If you read all of that stuff, youll go nuts. The pentagon has been unwilling to answer questions about how much this deployment will cost. Estimates are a 200 million bill, which means less money to fix planes and maintain equipment. Well update you on costs ace they become known. Obviously the units executing the Border Mission have to report up here. But were capturing the costs. Unlike a deployment overseas, theyre not getting combat pay and living in tents. Affairs units suggesting the pentagon knows this is more about messaging than reinforcing the border. Neil . Neil thanks. Pete flores is director of field operations. Thanks for taking the time. Good afternoon. Neil so what do we do when they start arriving . I know the very, very First Front Group has arrived. Im told theyre not but about 100 but others are coming. Can you explain the process, what we do on our end as they arrive . Customs and Border Patrol is responsible for securing the border especially at ports of entry. Under Operation Secure line, we have partnered with dod to ensure were addressing vulnerabilities at our border and to assure maximum control of our ports of entry. So as we expect the migrants to arrive in masses, we have a formalized process on how we intake individuals legitimately. Part of that includes this acceptance of asylum seekers. The expectation, the process in place and the caravan will use that process in order to request asylum if thats what they choose to do. Help me out, director. I looked at a brebreakdown of sf those in the caravan. Many are hondurans, escaping what they claim to be Gang Violence that threatened their lives. For the nicaraguans, theres a political crackdown there. Theyre escaping something that they say is for their lives. Do any of those cases meet the technical definition of asylum and how do you prove that . A threat to your life or family is one thing. Generically escaping a country because its poor is another. What do you do . Id echo the sentiments that the members of the caravan have been provided mexico has provided for an asylum process for them in mexico and also opportunities for employment. So if individuals in this caravan are economic migrants, they have been given the opportunity to have a safe place, to have an opportunity for employment. Those that have chosen not to take that opportunity and continue to the border and show up at our borders here in san diego, tijuana, we will take them in, take their claims and then we will put them through the process with the uscis in order to validate the claims. Neil theres 2,500, according to what im told, that you could haven here, jobs here, citizenship here. Very few take mexico up on that preferring the United States. That will be thats a big burden to address when they get to the border, isnt it . It absolutely is. Our ports of entry are at capacity. We have an uptick in travel and commercial merchandise and uptick in enforcement in methamphetamine and opioids and dealing with those type of normal enforcement concerns that we have to adjudicate every day. To add on the asylum process and this administrative process on top at our ports of entry will significantly impact what our ability is to process those. In san diego, we have a cuein process today. Cue management process on how we hand asylum seekers. We have capacity concerns with process and hold individuals until we can put them through the process. Neil all right, pete. Thanks very much. I say when we get the skinny on this from experts like pete on the scene, we should never lose sight that those that want to become legal citizens of the United States are being greeted with open arms and very generous rightses that been afforded. A quarter million that will have their visas this years. 1. 18 million the year before that. Expected to be a record. 1. 125 million this year. So Legal Immigration is up, up and away. Its this sort of stuff that complicates things. Well have more after this. ozempic® vo people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of onceweekly ozempic®. In a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. Oh under seven . vo and you may lose weight. In the same oneyear study, adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. Oh up to 12 pounds . vo a twoyear study showed that ozempic® does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack, stroke, or death. Oh no increased risk . Ozempic® should not be the first medicine for treating diabetes, or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not share needles or pens. Dont reuse needles. Do not take ozempic® if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if you are allergic to ozempic®. Stop taking ozempic® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, itching, rash, or trouble breathing. Serious side effects may happen, including pancreatitis. Tell your doctor if you have Diabetic Retinopathy or vision changes. Taking ozempic® with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase the risk for low blood sugar. Common side effects are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and constipation. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. I discovered the potential with ozempic®. Oh oh oh ozempic® vo ask your Healthcare Provider if ozempic® is right for you. All right. I want to show you the excitement building in Broward County, florida. Theyre counting ballots. They dont look busy there. Its supposed to be done by tomorrow. Doesnt look like that is happening. More after this. Neil all right. Were awaiting the president. Hes going to talk about criminal justice aform. Ahead of that, john roberts at the white house with more. Good afternoon. Youll see in addition to the folks there, Jared Kushner, charles grassley, Lindsey Graham and other lawmakers. The paternal order of police and the National Chiefs of police. The president throws his support behind the first step pact, which will take steps to reform prisoners and how they get them ready to release them back to socie society. This is what the first step back will do. Lower mandatory minimums for crimes from 20 years to 15. Eliminates socalled stacking, which elevates crimes to a federal level. It levels the flaying field as well between crack and powder cocaine which advocates have been asking for since the clinton administration. Some democrats dont think these reform go far enough. The president thinks he can get it through a lame duck session. He was originally hesitant to get behind this bill. Seven major Police Organizations, 2,700 faith leaders and leaders support this. So the president will in a few minutes there in the roosevelt room throw his support behind it. Something else that is being talk about a lot around here, neil, the potential shakeup in the president s staff and cabinets. Theres reports that Kirstjen Nielsens job could be on the chopping block as well as that of chief of staff john kelly. In an interview with the daily caller, the president said im looking at things, i havent made a decision yet. Ill make a decision on homeland shortly. Well be making changes on various thing. John kelly has been exiting the white house literally since the moment that he took over as chief of staff from reince priebus. We heard that he agreed to stay on until 2020. He and Kirstjen Nielsen are quite tight with each other here in the administration. Its widely rumored if she were to go he would be on his way out as well. Well see. Stay tuned. Neil well be monitoring this as well. We have the formal White House Deputy chief of staff karl rove. This is the kind of thing on the crime stuff that he could parlay some democratic support and could be the start of Common Ground legislation. What do you think . It came through the house of representatives with a strong vote. They want to get it done between now and the end of the year. Theres a few days of legislative business. Leader Mitch Mcconnell has said he will bring it to the floor if he is shown that its got the support of 60 members. Its got the support of the chairman of the Senate Judiciary committee, Chuck Grassley and the opposition of young fire brand tom cotton, republican from arkansas. So mcconnell has laid down the marker, show me you considered. Neil thanks. Were going to the president right now outlining the plans on this legislation. Lets listen. Mike lee, rand paul, tim scott and doug collins, fantastic people that worked so hard and we appreciate what youve done. Really do. Thank you very much. Working together with my administration over the last two years, these members have reached a bipartisan agreement did i hear the word bipartisan . [laughter] [applause] did i hear that word . There you go. Thats a nice word. Bipartisan agreement on Prison Reform legislation known as the first step. Thats what it is. Its a first step but very big first step. Today im thrilled to announce my support for this bipartisan bill that will make our Community Safer and give former inmate as Second Chance at life after they have served their time. So important. I have to tell you, i was called when i announced and when we all announced together this News Conference by some of the toughest, strongest Law Enforcement people, including politicians, by the way, that are so in favor of it. I was surprised by some like as an example, mike lee. Rand paul and others. Now it has tremendous support. Really great. Were all better off when former inmates can receive and reenter society. Thanks to our booming economy, they now have a chance at more opportunities than they have ever had before. Its true. Our economy is so strong that when people are getting out of jail, theyre actually able to find jobs. I have three instances of companies that hired people coming out of prison, and they have so thrilled by the performance of these people. Now theyre doing it more and more. A lot of people are seeing this. Its great. They wouldnt have had the opportunity frankly except for the fact that the economy is so strong and our job market is the lowest and best its been in over 50 years. Seems to be getting better. Our pledge to hire american includes those leaving prison and looking for a very fresh start. New job, new life. The legislation im supporting today contains many significant reforms including following. First, it will provide new unsentives for low risk inmates to learn the skills that they need to find employment, avoid old habits and follow the law when theyre released from prison. These incentives will encourage them to participate in vocational training, educational course work and faithbased programs. I want to thank paula white very much. I know you wanted that. That reduces their chances of recidivism. Reduce their chances of going back substantially. Secondly, this will allow federal inmates to be placed closer to their Home Communities in order to help facilitate family visitation. So important. Because we know that maintaining family and Community Ties is key to a successful reentry into our society. Third, the bill includes reasonable sentencing reforms while keeping dangerous and violent criminals off of our streets. In many respects, were getting tougher on the bad claims, of which there many, but were treating many differently for different crimes. Some people got caught up in situations that were very bad. I give an example of mrs. Alice johnson who served 21 years and she had i think another 25 or so to go. So she would have been in there for close to 50 years for something that other people go in and they get slapped on the wrist, which is also wrong, by the way. Which is also wrong. But ill never forget the scene of her coming out of prison after 21 years and greeting her family. Everybody was crying. Her sons, grandsons were crying and hugging and holding each other. A tough situation. A beautiful thing to see. It rolls back some provisions of the clinton crime law that disproportionately harmed the African American community. You all saw that and know that everybody in the room knows that. It was very disproportionate and very unfair. Throughout this process, my administration has worked closely with Law Enforcement. Their backing has ensured this legislation remains tough on crime, has to remain very tough on crime. Supports the tremendous work of our police and the tremendous job that Law Enforcement does throughout our country, our communities. They do an incredible job. We have Great Respect for Law Enforcement. Were honored that seven of the major Police Organizations including fraternal order of police and the International Association of Police Chiefs have fully endorsed this bill. We could not have got ten here without the support and feedback of Law Enforcement and its leaders are here today including Chuck Canterbury of fop. Thanks very much. [applause] these are two tough cookies. They want what is right. If you look at texas, if you look at georgia, if you look at mississippi and kentucky and some other states that are known as being very tough, these are big supporters of what were doing. Some of it has been modeled after what they have done. Theyve done a tremendous job. My administration will always support the incredible men and women of Law Enforcement and we will continue to pursue policies that help the heros who keep us safe. They are truly heros. We also thank the more than 2,000 leaders in the Faith Community who have signed a letter of support. We have tremendous support within the Faith Community. Unbelievable support. Americans from across the political spectrum can unite around Prison Reform legislation that will reduce crime while giving our fellow citizens a chance at redemption. So if something happens and they make a mistake, they get a Second Chance at life. Todays announcement shows that true bipartisanship is possible. And make it will be thriving if were going to get something done. When republicans and democrats talk, debate and seek Common Ground, we achieve breakthroughs move or country forward. I have Great Respect for the people standing alongside of me. I urge lawmakers in both house and senate to work hard and to act quickly and send a final bill to my desk. I look very much forward to signing this. This is a big breakthrough for a lot of people. I want to thank Jared Kushner for working so hard on the bill. [applause] he worked very hard. He feels deeply about it. Its my honor to be involved. It will be an even greater honor to sign. So good luck, chuck and mike and rand and everybody. Lindsey, everybody back here. Go out and see if you can get it done. If you can, im waiting. Ill be waiting with a pen. We he have done something that hasnt been done many many years. Its the right thing to do. Thank you all very much. Thank you very much. [applause] mr. President , do you have the votes . Mr. President , are you going to fire Mira Ricardel . Mr. President , you just said that people used disguises to cast illegal votes. Do you have any evidence of voter fraud . Thank you, everybody. Neil all right. You never leave the president assuming that its done because theres always a possibility he could take up a question. But i do want to go to carl rk e rove. Some of the questions shouted out address possible shakeups within the white house. That might be a big new thing again since rumors of the Homeland Security secretary job may be daninging all the way up to chief of staff kelly. Theres always a fixation on what comes and goes at the white house. What do you make of the latest noise, karl . First, you said potentially bipartisan support. When this bill came through the house in a slightly different version in may, the vote was i think 360 to 59. So it will have strong bipartisan support. Theyre going to have to send it back to the house neil could be a victory in a democratic house, right . Theyre going to try to get it done in the lame duck session so doug collins and Chuck Grassley would like to have it done. Hes the prime mover in the senate. I would be surprised to see this done by christmas time. If 60 people show up shortly on a list of names in front of Mitch Mcconnell, my suspicion is he will move it in order to give a sense of accomplishment to Chuck Grassley who has labored on this. Neil karl, i did want to talk about the first inkling of rifts the president will have to deal with in the democratic control house. Maxine waters talking about the days of easing up on lending regulations will come to an end on banks. Bill pasquel said that the deals that the president scored with mexico and canada are not done at all and they have to be examined closely. What do you think . Well, first of all, on usmca, i was an advocate of getting this done. Theres more republicans that will vote for the president s trade deal because it is the update of nafta, a free trade measure with protection with regard to automobiles. The president will be welladvised to get it done in the lame duck session. The democrats are going to be torn between trying to push their agenda, which may go nowhere in the senate if they dont do it in a bipartisan way, or investigating the president , which could be overdone and weve seen signs of it already or find Common Ground on things like what were seeing today with the first step bill where is there a way to find authentic bipartisan agreement. Ironically enough, weve had a period of that over the last two years. 1,000 bills or resolutions passed by the house, 80 with strong bipartisan measures doing things like talking about reducing regulation of Community Banks where Maxine Waters played a big role of lining up democratic support, tackling opioids, rebuilding the military. All of these and other subjects were tackled in a bipartisan way in the house and picked up in a bipartisan way in the senate in many instances. So well have to see what kind of Democratic Party shows up and what kind of president shows up. The president that showed up today is bipartisan. Neil i want to get your thoughts on florida. Didnt look like Broward County will meet that deadline for tomorrow. I could be wrong. If theyre late and it gets pushed back, everything has to be certified by november 20th, but this could go beyond that, couldnt it . The democrats are trying to get it to go beyond the 20th. Theyre suing to try to say that any ballot, whether it met the deadline or not, whether it met the guidelines ought to be included. They done this by taking ballots that were considered invalid and rather than submitting them to the board of canvassers, they were counted and dumped in. Were likely to see the democrats go a long time on this. My sense is the lawyers for rick scott are tough and aggressive and my sense is theyll make the process conform to state law and as a result, well see rick scott and ron desantes confirmed. Thanks. Well see. And what if everybody has it wrong about Robert Mueller . More after this. Its easy to think that all Money Managers are pretty much the same. But while some push High Commission investment products, Fisher Investments avoids them. Some advisers have hidden and layered fees. Fisher investments never does. And while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, Fisher Investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. Maybe thats why most of our clients come from other Money Managers. Fisher investments. Clearly better money management. I want to go to chad pergram. These two who are pitching right now to protect bob mueller, senator coons of delaware and jeff flake who is retiring, republican of arizona. Chad, is it a realistic threat anyway . A number are pushing this but update me. Mitch mcconnell, Senate Majority leader, said didnt think legislation was necessary to protect bob mueller. He indicated based on what the president had told him, he didnt think there was any promise or threat from the white house to get rid of bob mueller. It doesnt sit well with senators on both sides of the aisle. What happened in the past 35 minutes, senator flake and senator coons asked for unanimous consent that the senate start debate immediately on a bill to protect bob mueller from firing. They started last week we had the firing of jeff sessions. What unanimous consent needs in the senate is you need the blessing of all 100 senators. It just takes one objection. In that case, it was Mitch Mcconnell. Thats how you get bills up on the floor. They didnt defeat this piece of legislation. Mitch mcconnell simply blocked them from considering this bill on the floor to protect bob mueller. Neil senator flake is saying that he would oppose any of the president s judicial nominations until legislation protecting bob miller gets a vote. Thats pretty strong stuff. To consider we are at the end of the year, there are some nominees lined up in committee here and the ratio on that committee has 11 republicans to ten democrats. Theres a way to get those nominations out of committee and onto the floor. They have that narrow turning radius on the floor to confirm the folks. 51 votes at least until next year. What jeff flake is tying to lord over Mitch Mcconnells head, because there is bipartisan support in both bodies to move this piece of legislation and you can bet that when democrats get control of the house of representatives next year, they will make a point of trying to move such a piece of legislation to protect bob mueller. The senate is going to be under republican control and as long as Mitch Mcconnell is there, hes probably going to object and block senators and both parties from bringing that build the floor. Neil quickly, chad, getting word out of the new house leaders, some of them including Maxine Waters, Financial Services, about not easing up on banks and regulations. Might have a trade subcommittee post, those trade deals are not done deals, specifically with mexico and canada. I talked to a senior House Republican aide and said that going to be a project for the new congress. Theyre going to sign his trade deal probably before the end of the year but to move it through congress, thats next year. Theres a lot of democrats who side with the president on trade. Sharon brown of ohio, they may prove to be his best allies yet. Neil thank you very much. We are getting from charlie gasparino, this has been tossing up on yahoo finance.
