Our chief entertainment officer. The holidays are here. I have some great ideas for you. Ice is very important when youre entertaining. It really is. Yes. And i love these. These are silicone containers you can buy, and you make these nicesized ice cubes, which is great. You freeze these e and i ma, an lot of batches of them. Put them in a resealable container. It doesnt dilute your cocktail. You can sip it and enjoy it and its not going to get watered down. Love the oversized ice cubes. Sdp im a brown liquor drinker and i dont want it diluted. You want all the flavors of the bourbon in there. I love that. Heres another timesaver. Youre always dicing something in the holidays, whether it be peppers, onions, celery, car carrots. I did find this inexpensive dicer. Two different sizes. And simply this goes in and with one little hit. Boom, ive got perfectlydiced vegetables. Just like that. I mean just like that. It even comes with its own little cleaner so you can get all the material between the blades. Its a timesaver and i love it. Plus it looks like youve done perfe perfectly scared chops like the chefs. And another cool tool that i really think is a lot of fun. In my martinis, i like cheesestuffed olives. Yes. In particular, i like the blue cheesestuffed olives. And i found this gadget. Its called the oliveator. You take whatever your favorite cheese is, basically go into the cheese and in your olive, go ahead, lets say you have this empty olive. You put this in there, plunge it and boom, that cheese comes out and actually fills that olive to perfection. Wow. Look at that. That is great. And of course i make a lot of these ahead of time. When youre ready for that martini how is it done otherwise . Thats the thing. They kind of grab pieces of it and stuff it in. The oliveator works great. Whatever cheese you like. I like the name. Boom. Then i always say when youre entertaining, make a pitcher cocktail. Make it simple. Make it easy. So youre not playing bartender all night. I love this recipe. Three ingredients. Basically, its tangerine, about 12 ounces of that. To 32 ounces of cranberry juice. And then you have a couple of splashes of bitters. Isnt that good . It smells like you just cut into a tangerine. It does. And tangerine and cranberry, great together. So 12 ounces of finlandia, you can put some frozen cranberries as garnish, i like to have an alcoholfree version and ive identified that with the candy cane. Thats yours, i know you have a lot of work to do. Thank you. I dont, so im going to enjoy the kickedup version. Nonalcoholic version is it basically cranberry juice . Cranberry, but it looks fess testify. Festive. Thats what i like about the alcoholfree drink. It looks just as festive. During the holidays we have a lot of cranberry sauce as a side. Hou however, you can repurpose it. Take honey mustard, mix it with cranberry sauce, mix that together. You have a great dip for pretzels. Then over here bake brie, top it with cranberry sauce, serve it with crackers. Absolutely delicious. Finally, one last way you can use this, mix the cranberry sauce with whipped cream and top that on cakes, miss. It will even make that awful fruitcake taste good. Thats an excuse for what to do. It really is. Easy, funny des. Ideas, do as much as possible ahead of time and have fun with your guests. Happy holidays. All right, thank you.

If she wasnt such a procrastinator, labor would not have happened. The baby is not procrastinating. Were going to start this half hour in washington, d. C. Where theyre not procrastinating. No. The most sweeping rewrite of the nations tax laws just a step away from the president s desk. Senate republicans passed the 1. 5 trillion tax bill in a late night vote strictly upon party line. The democrats insist the wealthy will benefit the most but republicans insist it will trickle down to the middle class. It is expected to pass. The house speakers going to use his gavel and be all excited again. The house approved the legislation earlier but hit a proce procedural snag and they were reforcr forced to remove three provisions.

And the president recently promised a tax code so simple you could file on a postcard. Great job, thank you. I didnt know i was going to be given a prop. Its serious. Its serious. 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 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 . We expect that it will likely certainly on the personal side cost the president a lot of money. Reporter but he stands to benefit from passthrough deductions. Hes going to make money on that. Look, again, this is a tax plan that we hope benefits all americans. Reporter Sarah Sanders was pressed repeatedly, and she did eventually make a concession. She says the president does stand to benefit from thats tax cuts when it comes to his business interests, but she maintains he will personally on his income take a hit. The president stands to win on both fronts. Thanks to cecelia. We turn to the investigation into the fatal amtrak derailment in Washington State, now focussing on why the train was going so fast. It was moving at 80 in a 30mileperhour zone. It did not have positive train control, it would have slowed it down automatically in a lower speed zone.

The engineer and a conductor who was getting experience at familiarizing himself with the territory. The actual conductor as there is one on every train was in the actual passenger section at the time ever the accident. In a News Conference a few hours a amtraks president said no one wants positive train control more than amtrak. But he says it requires coordination with the operators of the rail line, the Company Running the train and even the manufacturers of those trains. 11 tourists and a guide are dead after a bus crashed in mexico.

A former assistant of Harvey Weinstein is speaking out for the very first time publicly. Shes breaking whats designed to be a legallybinding agreement to never discuss the Sexual Assault allegation against her boss. Last night, Zelda Perkins says she was silenced after weinstein raped her coworker, something weinstein denied. There were a couple of occasions where i made attempts to circumnavigate my agreement. However, almost impossible for me, because one of the clauses of the agreement disallows me to have a copy of it. Why . Because its a smoking gun. Perkins says that the 1998 agreement included mandatory counseling for weinstein and hr policy on Sexual Harassment for the company and a condition that weinstein would be removed from the company if there were any similar claims. Perkins now risks having to pay back that money she received, because she says quote, unless somebody does, there wont be a debate about how egregious these agreements are. Meryl streep now fighting back against criticism on the scandal. She was called a hypocrite. Check it out. Reporter Actress Meryl Streep is defending herself after being slammed by rose mcgowan on twitter. Mcgowan, the actress and activist who accused Harvey Weinstein of raping her wrote in a nowdeleted tweet that streep had happily worked for the pig monster. She also ridiculed streeps plan to join an army of actresses wearing black this award season as silent protest. Mcgowan tweeted, your silence is the problem. I despise your hypocrisy. Streep responded saying 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. She also said of mcgowan, i want to let her know that i did not know about weinsteins crimes, not in the 90s when he attacked her or in subsequent decades when he attacked others. She worked on several films by weinstein and won an award for iron lady. I just want to thank god, Harvey Weinstein. [cheers and applause] the punisher. Old testament i guess. Reporter but streep later spoke out against weinstein in october, calling his behavior inexcusable. And the women who spoke up heroes. Saying she didnt know about his financial settlements with actresses and colleagues or his inappropriate coercive acts. In her new statement she adds, i dont know where harvey lives, nor has he ever been to my house. I have only been to his office once. Hw was not a film maker, he was often a producer, primarily a marketer of films made by other people. But not every actor and actress and director who made films that hw produced knew that he was a predator. We are both together with all the women in our business standing in defiance of the same implacable foe. As for streep, she says in addition to the statement, she has gotten her number to rose mcgowan and is sort of hoping for a phone call. So far nothing there. Interesting scene in the meantime, all throughout los angeles. These posters started popping up. Photo of meryl streep, obviously, and Harvey Weinstein with that phrase over her face. Saying she knew. Yeah, it is worth pointing out, though, that rose mcgowan did post on twitter that she never accused meryl streep of knowing about the abuse ahead of time.

The massive tax breaks becoming a reality. They brushed aside concerns that the bill will boom the deficit, arguing that it will spur economic growth. The bill goes back to the house for a doover vote before heading to the president s desk. The tax cuts and jobs act is passed. Reporter the Senate Passed the bill along Historic Party lines. What a disgrace. Thats what this bill is. Reporter the house also passed the bill. But democrats say three provisions violated senate rules, those provisions taken out, which means the house must revote on the plan. Gop leaders are not expecting any problems. Today we are giving the people of this country their money back. Reporter the bill met with applause and protest. President trump close to his first major legislative win. The white house insists the billionaire president wont benefit personally from the tax plan. The president will likely take a big hit. But on the business side he could benefit. But priority number one is middle class americans. Reporter the plan permanently slashes the corporate rate from 35 to 21 . Americans making 75,000 or less will see their taxes go up within a decade. Wealthy americans will see a tax cut. This is the worst bill to ever come to the floor of the house. With stiff competition. Reporter even after the house revote, there are questions about when the president will be able to sign it into law. He wanted it done before christmas. But now the white house says because of the process, it may not happen until the new year. Diane and kendis . We have some breaking developments overnight in the deadly tourist bus crash in mexico. Five of those dead are american. At least 12 were killed in that crash. Seven other americans were injured. They were on their way from two Royal Caribbean cruise ships to see mayan ruins. A tourist on another bus says the weather was clear and dry and he saw no signs of another vehicle. And back in this country, investigators havent been able to interview the crew of the amtrak train that derailed in Washington State. Theyre waiting for their medical conditions to improve, but they have gathered other information about the crash which of course killed three passengers. Abcs Clayton Sandell has more. Reporter right now work crews are focussing on getting that 270,000 pound locomotive cleared from the scene here. But crews still have to inspect the bridge, the overpass and the road below. And that could take several days we are told. The ntsb has just briefed, they are focussing on the speed of this train as one of the focuses of the investigation, saying it was going 80 Miles Per Hour in a 30mileperhour zone. They also say they have recovered two data recorders from the locomotives here, and hopefully those will provide more pieces to this puzzle. There was a conductor trainee in the cab of this locomotive at the time that it derailed. That person was familiarizing themselves with the route. The ntsb will be looking at many factors, including whether or not this person, this trainee conductor was some sort of distraction in the cab. Investigators also say the engineer who was injured was familiar with this route, had been down it before. They are looking at all of these things, but they are not yet ready to determine a cause of this crash. Clayton sandell, abc news, dupont, washington. Now to some breaking news. One of the central figures of the Catholic Church abuse scandal, cardinal law, has died. He was the archbishop of boston in 2002 when it was revealed he had transferred abusive priests for years without telling parishioners. He spoke about it later with george stephanopoulos. Looking back, do you think theres anything more you could have done . All of us deplore in our own lives and the lives of others failure to live out fully the message of christ. And in my own ministry, ive attempted to be faithful to that. After his resignation, law still held several top church positions at the vatican. He died this morning in rome at age 86. Well, the u.
