And tonight, meryl streep defending herself against any notion she could have done more when it came to harvey weinstein. What shes now saying. Good evening as we come on the air here in the west. And we begin with the breaking headline involving your money youshgs taxes. President trump One Step Closer to his first major legislative victory since being elected. But tonight, a lastminute holdup. The house voting today to approve the republican tax cuts by a strict party line vote, but late today, word coming in they will have to vote all over again. So, why the temporary halt . And look at the new poll numbers coming in tonight. When americans were asked, who will benefit most from this tax bill, four separate polls showing more than 60 of americans say it will be the wealthy who benefit most. So, tonight here, will the president still sign this into law before christmas . And who wins, who loses . And will there be any voting tonight . Abcs mary bruce, leading us off from the hill. Reporter House Speaker paul ryan today excitedly gaveled in the first major legislative win of the trump administration. The yeas are 227 and the nays are 203. The conference report is adopted without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid upon the table. Reporter his gavel rolling off the podium as the biggest tax overhaul in three decades cleared a major hurdle in the house. But tonight, a procedural snag will force them to vote again tomorrow. Still, earlier, republicans were ecstatic. Today we are giving the people of this country their money back. Reporter but the speaker interrupted by one of many protesters on the hill. Youre lying youre lying reporter across the country tonight, americans are asking how this bill will affect them. Corporate america will see the biggest tax cut, from 35 to 21 . That cut is permanent. Tax cuts for individuals will expire in eight years. But in the meantime, they will see their standard deduction and child tax credit double. But a new study Shows Americans making 75,000 a year or less will actually see their taxes go up within a decade. While wealthy americans will continue to see a tax cut. Tonight, republicans insist this bill will benefit the middle class. You guys go do your homework on the thing. Reporter you dont trust the analysis . Are you kidding . 40,000 single mom is going to get over 1,000 back. Reporter americans who live in states where taxes are highest could pay a big price. Because the new law will limit deductions for state and local income and property taxes, capping them at a combined 10,000. In new jersey, trump voter kassie smith is concerned it will take money out of her pocket. When we dont get the deduction on our tax return, that the Property Value will go down. So, how am i going to try and sell that house . Reporter the states likely to be hardest hit . New jersey, new york and california. Its primarily why those 12 House Republicans voted no. Congressman, are you still a no . I am, yeah. Still no. Reporter republicans argue the major tax cuts for Corporate America will trickle down to main street america, leading to hiring and higher wages. But skeptics say, dont count on it. Some have pointed to this moment, a room full of ceos recently asked how many plan to use the money they save to reinvest in their company and their workers. Just a show of hands, if the tax reform goes through. Okay. Why arent the other hands up . Reporter even the president s top economic adviser wondering out loud why so few hands went up. And what about health care . The law repeals the individual mandate that all americans have insurance. That could cause 13 million more americans to be uninsured over the next decade. And if healthy americans opt not to buy insurance, premiums for others could skyrocket. The bill is deeply unpopular. New polls show americans believe this will benefit the rich. We asked the speaker. Any concern that this wont translate into a political win for republicans . No concerns whatsoever. Results are going to make this popular. So, you heard it there. No concerns tonight. Results, they say. Theyre promising theyre on the way, should this pass, in the hours and day ahead, which we do believe it will, mary. This bill first passing in the house, but now, late word, as we were coming on the air this afternoon that they now have to vote again because of something the Senate Democrats have now pointed out . Reporter yeah, david. This is essentially a procedural snafu, but it creates a real headache for House Republicans. The bill includes several provisions that are not related to tax reform. Republicans now have to change that, and then vote again. But bottom line, this bill is still expected to pass. All right, one more bottom line. When will the president actually sign this bill, will he be able to keep his promise to sign this before christmas . Reporter well, the white house is now suggesting that the president may not sign this until the new year, saying that the process to get the paperwork to the president s desk may actually take some time. David, the president has promised americans tax reform for christmas, and now theyre suggesting that might not happen. David . We can hear the voices of some of the americans gathered there in the capitol behind you there. Mary, thank you. And one more question on this tax bill tonight, how will President Trump and his family fare . And did he keep his Campaign Promises . What the white house told our cecilia vega today. Reporter tonight, the white house celebrating what it calls a promise made and a promise kept. A promise like this. I took this job on behalf of the forgotten Men And Women of our country, but guess what . They are forgotten no more. Reporter most working and middle class americans will get a tax cut, but independent analysts say, eventually, their taxes will go up. And the president recently promised a tax code so simple, you could file on a postcard. Great job. Thank you very much. I didnt know i was going to be given a prop. Can i have it back . Its my only copy. Dont lose it. Its yours. Its yours. Reporter that postcard not happening either. The 503page tax bill still means a lot of paperwork for taxpayers. The president insisting, time and time again, hes going to pay big league under the plan. Its not good for me, believe me. This is going to cost me a fortune, this thing, believe me. Reporter also not true. Heres how President Trump stands to benefit. Income taxes for the ultra rich will drop. Business owners, including those in commercial real estate like the trumps, get a big break from whats known as a passthrough deduction. And his family stands to save millions on inheritance taxes. The president has said this tax bill is going to cost him a fortune. Thats actually not the case. How does he figure this is going to cost him a lot of money . Look, we expect that it likely will certainly on the personal side could cost the president a lot of money. Reporter but he stands to benefit from passthrough deductions, top rate tax reduction, estate tax exemption is doubled. Hes going to make money on that. Look, again, this is a tax plan that we hope benefits all americans. And cecilia vega live at the white house tonight. Cecilia, you pressed Sarah Sanders on whether President Trump will benefit from this tax bill. She said over and over again this bill will cost the president , but she did then seem to couch her words . Reporter yeah, when it comes to his business dealings, david, Sarah Sanders said the president could benefit from these tax cuts. She still maintains he will take a hit when it comes to his personal income, but david, the president stands to win on both fronts. All right, cecilia vega at the white house again for us tonight. We move onto other news, and the other developing headline at this hour. Passengers on a Holiday Cruise in mexico, many of them americans, crashing on a bus trip to a tourist site several hours south of cancun. Several dead. Tonight, members of the u. S. Mission staff are now en route to the crash site. And heres abcs matt gutman. Reporter tonight, investigators in mexico still trying to determine what caused this tour bus, carrying cruise passengers, to careen off the road in rural mexico. You can see the bus on its side pushed up against that thick vegetation. Police tape is up and stretchers are there for the wounded. Bystanders appearing to rush in to help the wounded, some of whom were splayed out on the twolane roadway. Others seeming to walk around dazed. The bus apparently went off the road on the way to the chacchoben ruins, about an hour from where the ships docked on the yucatan peninsula, about four hours south of cancun. Its believed at least seven americans are among the 18 people hospitalized. Mexican Officials Say some have already been released. Some of our officials from our u. S. Embassy, or our perhaps its our mission, are on their way there. Reporter the Royal Caribbean cruise line said the bus was carrying 27 passengers from its ships Celebrity Equinox and serenade of the seas. In a statement, the company said, we are doing all we can to help our guests. David, those cruise ships originated in miami and ft. Lauderdale. And what is so gutting about this crash is that nearly half the people on that bus were killed, including a minor. David . All right, matt gutman, our thanks to you. We are also learning more tonight about the horror playing out for americans on that Speeding Train in Washington State. A new, faster route on its first day being used derailing on a bend in the track. Heavy equipment lifting the cars right off the broken track and right onto the highway below. We do have new images tonight of the damage inside the train. The shattered windows there, and the shades crushed in. Tonight, weve now learned the train was traveling more than twice as fast as it was supposed to. Abcs Clayton Sandell in dupont, washington. Reporter today, giant cranes began Picking Up The Pieces of amtrak 501. Crews are working around the clock, Clearing Wreckage from interstate 5, still shut down going south. Amtrak 501. Emergency. Emergency. Emergency. We are on the ground. Reporter investigators are focusing on the trains speed before it came crashing onto drivers below. 80 miles per hour, well above the 30mileperhour limit. The Emergency Brake was automatically activated after when the accident was occurring, rather than being initiated by the engineer. Reporter the train was making its first Passenger Run between seattle and portland on newly upgraded track, filled with rail lovers like Zach Willhoite and jim hamre, two of the three people who died. It was like being inside an exploding bomb. Reporter beverly and Charlie Heebner were excited for that maiden run, too. I saw her legs, i reached down and i shook one, and she shook it back. I said, oh, boy, are you all right . And she said, i think so. Reporter drivers who saw it all happen came running to help. Even when people were pinned under the train, i just like, i grabbed the dudes hand and was, like, rubbing his back. Reporter the new stretch of track was equipped with a Safety System called positive train control, or ptc. Transponders along the tracks exchange signals with the trains onboard computer. If engineers are not responding, ptc is supposed to take over, preventing an accident. But for yesterdays fatal run, ptc had not yet been activated. Congress has repeatedly delayed deadlines requiring ptc on major rail lines nationwide. And Clayton Sandell with us live again tonight from dupont, washington, there on the scene. And clayton, late today, you were telling us, theyre still clearing the scene . Reporter thats right, david. Theyre still trying to clear out that 270,000pound locomotive from this scene, but they still have to inspect the bridge and the road before this interstate can open, and that could take several days. And tonight, david, were just learning from the ntsb that they have recovered two Data Recorders that hopefully will provide more pieces to this puzzle. David . All right, Clayton Sandell on this again tonight. Clayton, thank you. There are Holiday Travel worries brewing tonight. Two storms will effect travel this week. The first one Bringing Blinding Rain From Texas All The Way to the carolinas. The second storm, blowing from the northwest through the midwest this week, hitting several travel hubs, reaching the east coast by this weekend. Of course, just as millions travel for christmas. So, lets get right to chief meteorologist ginger zee, shes going to track it all week long for us. Hey, ginger. Reporter hey there, david. There are Travel Troubles right now, so, lets get to the map. Right along i40, memphis, for example, dense fog advisory. Less than a quarter mile visibility. Some heavy rains that will move into little rock. Thats going to move along that warm front, overnight through even South Carolina and North Carolina tomorrow. Then, we have to turn west, because the Winter Alerts are consuming the west. Las vegas, for example, on a high wind warning.

What do you sit around talking about the Dining Room Table with three daughters . Harvey weinstein thats all we talk about. I mean, you know, its horrible. Reporter but when streep announced she would join an army of actresses wearing black this awards season as a silent protest, it infuriated actress rose mcgowan, Who Claims Weinstein raped her. And that cannot stand, and it will not stand. Reporter mcgowan tweeting, actresses like meryl streep who happily worked for the pig monster are wearing black in a silent protest. Your silence is the problem. Mcgowan adding, maybe you should all wear marchesa, the fashion line designed by weinsteins estranged wife. Now, in a lengthy statement, streep is responding, writing, it hurt to be attacked by rose mcgowan. I wasnt deliberately silent. I didnt know. I dont tacitly approve of rape. I didnt know. I dont like young women being assaulted. I didnt know this was happening. So far, no direct response from mcgowan, though she did delete her tweet and apologized for the dig about actresses wearing awards dresses designed by weinsteins wife. The Marchesa Line was beneath me, she wrote, and im sorry for that. And tonight, meryl streep says she has reached out to rose mcgowan . Reporter streep said that she has made sure that mcgowan has her phone number, and she is waiting for her call.

Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does Eliquis Treat Dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis had both. And that turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an Artificial Heart Valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs 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 treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you.
