Want to get this done before roy moore or his democrat opponent takes the Alabama Senate seat on december 22nd. It is going to be very tight. There will be wheeling and dealing for every vote. Here is my opinion, we will get a tax cut deal done because i cant believe the Republican Party will say no and selfdestruct. Today, by the way, Goldman Sachs say the economies next year will be surprisingly strong, a separate goldman reports says wages will rise next year. Dont forget keith parker, at ubs, told us the market would keep going up if we do get that tax cut. Also today german politics in chaos, Angela Merkel cant get a coalition together to form a government and football, marcina lynch, he stands for mexicos anthem, he sits for ours. And the president hes tweeting again. Hes watching Varney Company, we will show you. Varney company is about to begin. Here we go. Shotout from President Trump on the economy this morning. Here it is. Under President Trump Unemployment Rate will drop be

Newsroom starts right now. Thank you again for joining us. Our top story, were now getting a much more detailed version of a recording we brought you recently featuring u. S. President donald trump. Cnn has obtained nearly 90 minutes of audio which capture as conversation at dinner in 2018 between the president and lev parnas. Parnas is an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani who said he was part of the ukraine pressure tactics. We played for you earlier the part where mr. Trump calls for the u. S. Ambassador to ukraine, marie yovanovitch, said this. They have everything there. Theyre just now waiting for your support a little bit to make sure because obviously if they go on their own, russia wont let them do it because theyll cut off a lot of their revenue. How long were they last in a fight with russia. Not very long. Without us, not very long. Without us. No, i dont think so. But russia, also, keeps in mind talks a big game, but theyre not ready to they dont theyre not ready to play.

It just doesnt work that way. Well, he also called for a bipartisanship, saying, and im quoting now, we must reject the politics of revenge, resistance, and retribution and embrace the boundless potential of cooperation. Calls for bipartisan, of course, are easy, actually acting on them is not, and easiest of all is name calling. So during your speech last night, you decried what you called ridiculous political investigations. Yet this morning, the chairman of the house Intelligence Committee, adam schiff, said he was going to launch a deep investigation into not only russia, but did you say adam schiff . Adam schiff. Oh, never heard of him. That wouldnt be partisan, would it . Not only into russia but into your personal financial transactions. Whats your reaction . What basis would he have to do that. He
Deexceptideception. The president seems to be pretending to fulfill his promise by pretending to build his wall. This is the scene in el paso, texas. When the crowds chanted build the wall, he attempted to correct them. Finish the wall. As the giant banners told them to say. As negotiators reached a deal to prevent another shut down this friday, a deal that funds just 55 miles of new fencing, whatever you want to call it. The president responded with a long and winding rant suggesting the deal is irrelevant because the wall is all but built or being built. Heres a quick fact check. There is no wall and a number of journalists reported no new miles of wall or barrier has been built under this president. None. They are considering other options to build a more substandial barrier because they do not authorize it. The other options including an Emergency Declaration may be unconstitutional. The president seems to be conditioning supporters to believe the wall is inevitable even though the
