Reporter but aides now say that Christmas Gift may actually come late. The complicated bill might not make it to the president s desk until after the new year and they still maintain the billionaire president will be hurt by the new plan despite the fact that he stands to win big league. The president said this is going to cost him a fortune. Its 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 he stands to benefit from deductions, top rate tax reduck, state Tax Exemption again, this is a tax plan we hope benefits all americans.

Reporter they are preparing for big celebrations hero at this white house perhaps starting with a press conference and the president teased it and after that house vote. We have not had a solo press conference from President Trump here at the white house since february. A lot of questions to ask. We will be there as soon as the president comes out in the rose garden, cecilia vega, thanks very much. If the bill is designed before the end of the year, Many Americans could start to see the impact as soon as february in the forge of bigger paychecks. Our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce is here with more. Good morning. Reporter good morning, paula. Well this, is the most sweeping overhaul to the nations tax code in a generation, likely to impact almost every single american which has many wondering how and when will this impact you. Reporter republicans are promising more money is coming to your wallet. Today we are giving the people of this country their money back. Reporter most households would get a tax cut at first. The bill doubles the standard deduction and the child tax credit. Come february, check your check. Reporter the irs says you could start to see less money withheld from your paycheck as soon as february but those tax cuts for individuals may not last forever. Theyre set to expire after just eight years. According to one report within a decade most americans making less than 75,000 a year will likely see taxes go up while the most wealthy would continue to see a tax cut but tax rates for corporations, those are permanent. Slashed from 35 down to 21 . If you own a home you can still deduct interest on your current mortgage but it limits new mortgage interest deductions to 750,000. And you can still deduct your state and local income and property taxes but thats limited to a combined 10,000. Which could hurt those living in high tax states like new york, new jersey and california. Now, if youre concerned about how this bill might impact you tax experts say you might want to consider prepaying some of your 2018 taxes before the new bill goes into effect but make sure to check with your tax adviser before making any changes. We know this is the tax bill. But what kind of impact could it have on health care . Reporter it does repeal the obamacare individual mandate that all americans have insurance. That did projected to leave 13 million more americans without insurance over the next decade and if healthy americans opt not to get coverage it could drive up premiums for others. Thanks for your reporting. George. Thanks, paula jo. Were joined by paul ryan. Congratulati congratulations. As you know a lot of the public skill skeptical. A new poll shows half of the public is opposed to it. What do you say to the doubters . I just think, first of all, thank you very much, george and great to be with you. I think because people have been hit on their tv screens by the media and democrats everybody is getting a big tax increase. Thats just not the case. The average median family of four in american will get a 2,059 tax cut and i think when people see that instead of getting tax increases theyre getting a tax cut, when they see the withholding tables changing in february and seeing more money in their paychecks and the Economic Growth that will result from historic tax reform i think minds will change and i think people will change their view on this but have hit with so many different confusing messages theres no wonder there is confusion. Big question from a lot of viewers how will you pay for it . It will increase the deficit and according to the many congressional budget scorekea e scorekeepers by more than a trillion dollars. If youre wrong are you willing to reverse the cuts. Thats the last thing we would want to do. Two things necessary to get it under control spending control. Getting spending under control and reforming entitlements and growing the economy. This is our plan to grow the economy. And we are convinced this will grow the economy. All the scorecoopers say it will, its just a question of degree. But we need to keep focused on the spending side of the ledger as well and important and well get back on that to make sure we get it under control but we have to have Economic Growth and got to get people back to work. If people are working in higher paying jobs, the economy benefits overall and so thats what this does so were convinced this is one of the key ingredient, the other spending discipline. That has a lot concerned. The aarp has come out against it in part because they say it will increase the National Deficit and means 25 billion in cuts to medicare next year alone. Those medicare cuts are going to be triggered not going to happen. I can just cut you off. You and i know you used to work here so you know the budget rules. Kind of an arcane rule that will not occur and those cuts will not happen. Youre committed to getting to reversing those cut. Yes, its the pay go system a rule by the way we never favored in the first place and we will those cut also not happen. Are you ruing out any medicare cuts throughout 2018 . Because as you just said you want to get spending under control. Well fix the pay go problem which is an arcane budget rule but do we want to get entitlement reform . Of course, we do but the kinds is to help get people from welfare to work. Ruling out medicare cuts next year . Well, theres some provider issues we may be addressing as you know. Some providers in the medicare field are getting overpaid and want to make sure thats being dealt with. As far as beneficiaries were not focused on that but from getting them from welfare to work and more flexibility in medicare and can bring more savings to the budget and get people from welfare to work and those things we will focus on. So far this Year Congress has failed to fund the Childrens Health Insurance Program that provides coverage to 9 million kids. If its not passed theyll be cutting off coverage to these children. Will you fund the Childrens Health Insurance Program before heading home for christmas. Yeah, we will. As the house, we passed on november the 3rd a full funding of and full extension of a c. H. I. P. Bill so we will like to send the followthrough and pass something and passed an interim measure. Since we passed the full funding pressure and do something once again before the end of the year to make sure they dont get hit with any c. H. I. P. Cuts so the house acted twice on this and well do it a third time if necessary. Lots of speculation you will step down as speaker at the end of the year and i know you said youll be around for a long time. Are you considering running for your house seat and speaker. Im not going anywhere any time soon. Questions way down the line ill address those way down the line. In the meantime, we have a lot of work to do. Im not going anywhere. If something changes ill address it down the road. You havent decided to run for reelection yet. Its not even 2018 yet so something my wife and i always laettner the compare year, something we havent discussed yet. Something well discuss down the road when the appropriate time comes. Mr. Speaker, thank for your time, he has 11 days until 2018 but congress before they go home are facing a Government Shutdown and have to fund it by friday or the government shuts down. I dont think ive ever seen him look so relieved and happy. A real smile on his face. Thank you, george, tore that. We turn now to that breaking news and bus crash in mexico. We now know at least 12 people were killed including five american tourists and Victor Oquendo is in miami with the latest. Good morning, victor. Reporter good morning, michael. Those tourists were on their way to the mayan ruins, an excursion. Many of them passengers on board the celebrity equinox ship that left from miami and learned that five of the people dead are americans, one victim a minor. This morning, authorities confirming five americans among the dozen killed in a bus crash on vacation in mexico in there were a lot of dead people. Vitor was one of the tourists from two Royal Caribbean ships, the celebrity equinox and serenade of the seas. They were on an excursion to the mayan ruins about an hour from where they docked. Four hours south of cancun. The seat belts were tied below. The seat, so no one told us to put the seat belts on, but my wifes sister saw it. Reporter local hospitals treating at least 18 more victims. Carrie from portland, oregon was also on the roybal excursion to see those ruins but she was on a different bus. The whole windshield is gone and that side was smashed it had fallen sideways. It looked like i think by itself i think it just ran out of control. We could have hely been the ones on that bus. Reporter theyre big draws and tours exploring everything from island safaris in st. Kittens. Youll get to see the tropical flora and fauna. Breathtaking views and more. Reporter Royal Caribbean telling abc news our hearts go out to all those involved. Were doing all we can to care for our guests including assisting with medical care and transportation. Mission staff from the United States rushed to mexico to assess the situation and learned both ships, celebrity equinox and Armando Serrano will continue as planned and wont be back in florida until later this week. Thank you, victor. Our prayers are with those families. Were learning new details about what may have led to that deadly train derailment. Investigators are trying to determine whether the engineer was distracted by a cell phone or possibly someone else in the car with him. Abcs Clayton Sandell is in dupont, washington, with the latest for us. Good morning, clayton. Reporter good morning, paula. They have been working nonstop overnight here to clear this scene and reopen this major interstate. But it is painstaking work and may be shut down for several more days. This morning emergency crews are using cranes to carefully remove sections of amtrak 501. Authorities are investigating why the train on its inaugural voyage from seattle to portland was going 80 Miles Per Hour killing three passengers including Zack Willhoite and jim hamre, both train aficionados. Its protocol for us to look at all of the cell phone records of all the crew members whenever there is an accident of this type. Reporter the ntsb is also asking about another person in the locomotive with the engineer, a conductor getting familiar with the new route. Now, technology that might have automatically slowed this train down and prevented this accident was installed here but it wasnt activated. Its called positive train technology. It was supposed to be in place nationwide by 2015 but the ntsb says congress has delayed that deadline and now up to the end of 2018. Such an unfortunate angle to the story. Thanks for your reporting. Now to that florida Police Officer very close call. You can see its all caught here on his body camera. Officer john cusack responding to a call, you see him approach the vehicle. When he gets there, the driver guns the engine. As you see hes somehow propping himself up and hanging on to the car and held on for half a mile before he let go when the car slowed down. You see him tumbling there into busy traffic and after this there was a brief chase. The driver was taken into custody and cusack, the 19year veteran of the force is going to be okay thank goodness. That was harrowing. Such a close call because there were cars, oncoming traffic. Scary situation. We move back to ginger. Thats right, george.

Fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. Fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. Lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. Im glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. For some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. And improves function. Lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. Tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. Common side effects dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. Dont drink alcohol while taking lyrica. Dont drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. Those whove had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. With less pain, i can do more with my family. Talk to your doctor today. See if lyrica can help.

We want to move to Harvey Weinsteins former assistant telling her story on camera for the first time and says she is breaking a nondisclosure agreement of accusing Harvey Weinstein of sexually assaulting a coworker and linsey davis has the story. Reporter two did decades ago Zelda Perkins signed a n nondisclosure statement but now despite that she is disclosing it all. She calls him a master manipulator with massive mood swings and says with harvey there was no such word as no. Harvey weinsteins former assistant is now speaking up and fighting back against a confidentiality agreement she says was meant to silence her 19 years ago. It was much more traumatic than i realized at the time because the freedom of being able to speak and being validated and being able to now see that i wasnt mad. Reporter Zelda Perkins tells bbc newsnight she endured harassment at the hands of weinstein for years but finally left her job at miramax after confronting him after she says he attempted to rape her friend and colleague. He swore on the life of his wife and children which was his best get out of jail card that he did not. Reporter he never threatened her physically but emotionally and psychologically but perkins then 23 years old claim she signed a nondisclosure agreement preventing her from speaking out publicly go it in exchange for certain concessions. He had to attend therapy for his behavior and i was concerned that he wouldnt talk about the relevance, reason that he was at a therapist. Reporter but perkins said she never attended therapy with weinstein and doesnt know if he ever went at all. Weinsteins attorney tells abc news he categorically denies any nonconsensual conduct or alleged threatening behavior. Perkins first broke the terms of that agreement in october violating the settlement she said was worth close to 200,000 by opening up to the Financial Times saying weinstein often walked around the room naked, asked for massages and even tried to pull her into bed. I was not allowed to speak to a therapist without them signing a confidentiality agreement. Reporter nondisclosure agreements are now under growing scrutiny in the wake of the metoo move many. In the midst of all the discussion about Sexual Harassment in the workplace microsoft has Just Announced its ending a practice that prevented employees from discussing their Sexual Harassment cases. As for perkins she says she believes if only she had been heard and taken seriously 20 years ago that everything that allegedly happened since with weinstein could have been prevented. Paula. All right. Thanks so much, linsey. We want to bring in dan abrams. Good morning to you, dan. Lets dig into these. Critics will say all they do is silence the victims and protect the harassers. Is that the case . Sflt big theft thing they do they prevent one person from knowing what another is doing. By not doing it in court and being a Public Record is means that the same person can be alleged to have done thing after thing after thing to someone to different people and the others never find out bit. No question these tend to be procompany. But with that said, there aresome women who find that theres an advantage to it not being public, not having to file a lawsuit but i think when you look at it from the big picture perspective there has to be a change. For years microsofts protocol was forced arbitration. Theyre reversing that. Instead of saying to someone if youve got a gripe, you have to go into this private confidential arbitration. Youll be able to file a lawsuit, again, public. And the most important thing there is when its public, the company can be held accountable and be the person can be held accountable and others will hear about it, know about it and be able to act accordingly. Back to the ndas weve han hearing so much about with Harvey Weinstein and tavis smiley. Any way for an employee to legally get out of one . Legally, no. When you sign an nda youre signing a contract but these days youre seeing a lot of people say, you know what, let them go after me. What are they going to do . Come after me for telling the truth about what happened to me . Im not going to be quiet anymore. If someone is involved in some sort of criminal act, if someone commits a crime, if theres a criminal investigation that can overcome an nda. A criminal subpoena could lead someone to say you are allowed to break your contract. Great insight. Dan, appreciate it. Good to see you. Lets send back to you. The latest fallout from a fraternity death. It supported evidence against charges that caused andrew coff coffeys death. In the search for answers a grand jury interviewing witnesses. That grand jury encouraging authorities to pursue criminal charges saying that many of the brothers seemed rehearsed and were more concerned about getting in trouble than they were about trying to save his life. 20yearold andrew coffey, a pi kappa phi pledge at Florida State university was found dead inside this house after an offcampus frat party this past november. His blood alcohol nearly seven times the legal limit to drive. Court documents now revealing the only people at the party, two strippers, the pi kap pledges and his new big brothers. He passed out after drinking large amounts of liquor straight from the bottle. They claim he fell asleep snoring loudly but when a pledge went to wake him he didnt have a pulse. Phone records show the pledge called and texted five frat members prior to calling 911. Unfortunately when medical Emergency Personnel got here, they determined the person to be deceased. Reporter overnight a grand jury found there is enough evidence to file criminal charge in the 20yearolds death but that its been impossible to complete the investigation because of majority of the other pledges and Fraternity Brothers are not cooperating. The case has been handed to the state attorney general. Are we adjust at a point where were trying to figure out how do you convince these very intelligent millennials that people are dying every year because of these behaviors. 48 of the 88 are refusing to speak to investigators. Fsu suspending the fraternity and has a temporarily ban on all greek actives on campus. The state attorney general saying people will be charged but they want to make sure the right people get the appropriate charges and a new grand jury empaneled the first week of january.

Youre watching a homeowner battling a fire at 3 30 a. M. Sunday just moments after waking up. He struggles. Theres nothing more he can do and leaves the fire behind calling for help. It was horrifying. You dont know what to expect. Reporter mike woke up because of this, his doorbell. It has a motion detector hooked up to a camera and when the bright flames triggered i an app on his phone woke him up. I opened up my eyes and looked to my right and outside my bedroom window i just saw what looked to be like flames. Reporter hernandez, his fiancee and brother all made it out of the house safely.

Yep, and its been one heck of a year. Gone really fast but coming up a look back at 2017s big stories and, of course, some of our favorite moments on the show. Yep. We got the guest that made us laugh and, of course, the guest that made us dance like will ferrell. I know you had a great time dancing. I sure did with that little neck tie. I cant wait to see that. That big headline out of washington. Republicans on the verge of passing their tax overhaul heads back for a final vote and could give the president his first major victory and brothers bruce with the latest. Reporter after a very late night vote here, this sweeping overhaul is now a done deal in the senate but republicans dont have their big legislative win just yet. A procedural snafu is forcing the house to have to vote again discovered that the bill includes some provisions not related to tax reform. Those had to be changed and now the house will hold a doover vote later but bottom line, george, this bill is still expected to pass . Speaker ryan was on here talking about that earlier and i asked him about the Sexual Harassment settlements getting so much attention on capitol hill. More revealed overnight and i asked the speaker if he would commit to exposing all of these secret settlements. Not only are we doing for transparency and not only have we asked people to step down from congress weve instituted mandatory training which is now taking place and were just putting those rules out but later this week were going to bring out a series of reforms on how we proceed going forward. The way i see it it is one of those watershed moments not just in congress but in america where we have to get it right. He said the issue of opening up these past settlements is pretty complicated. Couldnt commit to doing that but the pressure is building on capitol hill. Reporter this is presented a real challenge for congressional leaders in recent weeks weve seen three members quit over allegations of sexual misconduct. Another member says he will not seek reelection. Critics up here say the system is slanted to protect the lawmakers. It certainly is clear it is an archaic system and now lawmakers on both sides say that changes have to be made to increase accountability and trans parens si and the taxpayer should no longer be footing the bill for any of these settlements.

A woman gave birth an embryo thatas reporter shes the newborn baby 24 years in the making. This morning tina and Benjamin Gibson are the proud parents of 1monthold baby girl emma wrench after struggling with infertility they adopted an embryo coing through hundreds of profiles before having that embryo emplanted and only learned after the fact that it had been frozen 24 years earlier. Just one year after now mom, tina, was born. I was line, doctor, do you realize im 25 years old. If this embryo was born when it was supposed to be, like we could have been best friends. I was like we could have been friends. Reporter at first they were worried. 24 1 2 years frozen. Reporter but emma is thriving. I never thought id be rabel to have a pregnancy and have a baby like, oh, my gosh, such a miracle. You know, such a sweet, sweet miracle. Reporter the amount of time its frozen isnt necessarily important and when it comes to ivf frozen embryos tend to do as well as new ones. The lab director who oversaw the gib sons process said they transfer up to 150 embryos a year but that this one is the oldest they have ever done. I say i see miracles happen every day. In the hospital, he would hold her and say, shes just so perfect. Like, i know. How did that happen . And she is. Reporter for Good Morning America, diane macedo, abc news, new york. What an incredible story and our chief medical correspondent dr. Jen ashton is here. Jen, ive been trying to wrap my mind around this story. The mom is 26, the baby 24. So netechnically she is a year d a half older. Definitely forever. When they are frozen theyre frozen with liquid night again at negative 1 6 degrees, all biologic activity stops and that embryo doesnt know whether its stopped for a month, ten year, 20 years so potentially you could have siblings in different general jasons. The cover of the post says this baby is 24 years old. How old is the baby. A couple months old but getting a lot of interest for sure. We know there are hundreds of thousands of frozen embryos up for adoongs. They adopted this embryo. Any rhett risks when it comes to this . Doesnt appear there are and all has to do with the process that was developed and revolutionized the process because it helped to reduce ice crystals that are so damaging to cells in the freezing and thawing process sos that has enabled incredible stories. Theyre call snow babies. I dont call them that. So cute. Great insight. Thank you, dr. Jen. Back to michael. Thank you, paula. Well turn to our series raising good men. Abcs Deborah Roberts sat down with a group of 18 to 2yearolds for a candid conversation about coming of age during a time of widespread Sexual Harassment allegations and, deborah, you have interesting conversations. Very interesting and this is the group that we want to Pay Attention to. Theyre about to 12e7 out into the world 5 with a new and evolving idea of being a man and its clear that this general haitian has been raised a bit differently. From houston to denver and now new york city, learning from our oldest young men. Responsible, respectful, love, value. Humble. These guys sharing the values of a good man. Being a good man just really comes down to being a good person. Its pretty much making a conscious effort to check in with your humility. Where did your ideas come from about what it is to be a good man. Take examples and try to be better versions of what we see. At this Public Policy institute a window into what it takes to raise responsible and caring men. Even with their parents listening in from a separate room, these guys share honest moments from their lives. How many of you, guys, maybe participate in that type of locker room talk, that kind of disrespectful talk . Be honest. I think its hard because when youre made like that its like everybody can gang up on you and emasculate you in many sol way. All of a sudden then you give people opportunity to bring you down. Saying always stuck with me a man treats his wife how he treats his mother. That always shaped how i spoke about women and didnt view them at objects but viewed them as my equal. Reporter dr. Herold koplovitz has worked with teens for decades. There is a big difference between young men between 18 and 22 and older men who, lets say, are about 40 years of age. A lot of these guys have grown up with a different sensibility. Its understanding that theres a whole world out there of kids that never truly grew up. You have to understand theres people out there in positions of power that dont understand even where youre coming from. Reporter these guys admit one pressing issue they face is alcohol consumption. When you hear about Sexual Assault it revolvers around alcohol. Have any of you have witnessed or or known or been in a situation where youre intoxicated and its murky and youre wondering whether its right or not . Is it your responsibility to step . Yes . For some reason we get in our heads good people can do bad things. Once we get that in our head we get more comfortable calling people out. You want to make sure your friends are okay. People change when theyre drunk. Lots of things are going on in the world that are disconcerting to them and yet theyre able to separate what other people are doing versus what they know they should do. The onus of responsibility is on men to make a change and to address these issues even when it seems like it may be socially uncomfortable to do it at that time. Reporter later we invite the parents in. Whats the hardest part about raising a young man, a responsible young man today. When you are a dad who wants your son to look up to you and you know the best way to impart some of these lessons is by sharing mistakes you made along the way so they can learn the reverse lesson. Im lord to the day when theyre not special and this is what men are all about. When this is the norm. These young men give us reason for hope and allowing themselves to reveal their emotions and to step into situations with women when they feel something is abusive or unfair. Most of them have parents in their live, michael. Some of them sickle parents, caring adults who are offering guidance one of them often thinks about how do i want my mother to be treated when approaching a woman. Very thoughtful. Im always amazed at the series. Theyre so happy to you in front of the camera but theyre proactive. One of these young men started a young mens action group. These are 20yearold khalil started mars, men against rape and Sexual Assault and saying men cant sit on the sidelines. Weve got to be a part of this discussion wean make it a mans issue too. Not just about women calling men out but men joining the fight to help change things . Our audience love the series as well and patty love writes, love the series, shows how learning how to be a good citizen of the world starts early and requires freak checkin discussions and a lot of comments. Have you done the raising good women. What about raising good women. Well talk about that and need to have them sit together and want to talk to women, weve done it and have men and women talk. Where do we go from here is the next conversation in thank you for bringing this to us. I agree love the series and i love your gma moment today because we have a young meteorologist on our hands. Thats right. This is jacob from northern new hampshire. Hes eight and hes made his own rain bucket basically and his little brother joshua trying to ruin the video.

You know what, im here with a twotime, not one, but twotime Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz who is starring in a new movie downsizing where he plays an entrepreneur opposite matt damons average joe. Take a look. Look, everyone, look at what he brings me. Do you think any of this will do something . No. Youre the only one. I like you. I know i said its only little party. Everybody comes. Nothing else to do in the city after 10 00. No. This i do not understand. Its not as if so many people have work in the morning. [ applause ] welcome to Christoph Waltz. Good to see you. Always great to see you. In this movie its very unique. Satire where People Volunteer to shrink their lives down so they can live a more affluent life. What went through your mind when you read this. I wondered what the downsizing only referring to physical size. And the dollar amounts. Because i am convinced that the inflation of inflated egos needs downsizing too. In our world so thats what took me to it immediately. Yeah. Its a bigger message obviously downsizing not just in a physical sense but in every sense. Do you think you could live a downsized life. No, i dont think so. I think im small enough. [ laughter ] but you know what, on screen youre big. Everything you do you just jump off the screen thats the lens. You take a longer lens, it makes you bigger. You know, now speaking of lenses youre going to be on the other side of the lens. Youre going to direct your first film. I yeah. Well, thank you. Thank you. [ applause ] its called georgetown. And how was that for you . Well, first of all im not sure whether its going to be called georgetown because i havent seen the movie yet. Im still editing. I think eye movie needs tell you what it wants to be called and i just you know, the process is you need someone to attract to investors so unfortunately that was me so i had to play the part and direct and im not convinced that thats an ideal combination. How is it . How is it to tell yourself what to do . Its very, very difficult because i never listen. [ laughter ] you never listen . No, i never do. You are youre brilliant in everything you do and really also directed opera. What dont you do. Sing opera. Youre not a singer. Show did you get into directing opera when opera needs a director like theater or movies which is really its somewhat the myth around the director, theres a little too big, you know, needs someone, someone to sit down there and say, go a little over there and go a little over there and with opera its not different from anything he. Its just that sometimes music is a little more complex than a tv series text. Everything you touch is seems to work. You are a man with a plan that always works out. So proud of this. You can go see downsizing. It hits theaters friday. Coming up, what was gmas biggest social media moment of 2017 . We got the big reveal coming up next. Well be right back. Well be right back.
