Hundreds of miles from mexico city. This time out sidest beltway. Nfl players like Colin Kaepernick for taking a knees apart of the effort to bring awareness to racial inequality. Heres what the president said at a political rally in alabama last night. We love to see one of the nfl owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say get that son of a. [ beep ] off the field right now. Out, hes fired when people like yourselves turn on television and you see those people taking the knee when theyre playing our Great National anthem [ boos ] well, Roger Goodell released a statement this morning saying divisive comments like these demonstrate unfortunate lack of respect for the nfl, our great game and oall of our players an failure to understand the overwhelming force for good that our players and clubs represent in our communities. Lets go to new jersey and kelly odonnell. Kelly with, a good saturday to you. First up, can you give us a sense of the reactions last night and how his disinvit
Happy dance this morning. Thats right, poppy. He certainly is. This will, indeed, get wrapped up here on capitol hill, today. The house will revote, take that second vote after that Technical Glitch due to the Senate Budget rules. The house will revote today in the noon hour. It will go through. It will pass up here on capitol hill. And then, of course, many republicans will head to the white house for that ceremonial event today, celebrating this. And certainly, it is a significant moment for them. Republicans in the white house getting this tax bill through. But as this phase shifts now from the corralling of the votes and the politics of up here on capitol hill to actually selling this bill and the potential benefits to americans across the country, this is something that Senate Majority leader, Mitch Mcconnell, had some interesting words about just yesterday. If we cant sell this to the American People, we ought to go into another line of work. I think this is an important accompli
And today well see them move very quickly through all of this. First the house will have their vote today around the 1 00 hour. It will pass through. Send it over to the senate. There will be ten hours of debate in the senate, some time could be yielded back to quicken up the pace of all of this but likely the senate will be voting late tonight or early tomorrow morning. This sets up the final bill for President Trumps signature to his desk at some point on wednesday. In this hour well likely hear from speaker of the house paul ryan, a big day for him a big moment for him and certainly a big legislative win for the trump white house, the first legislative victory of the trump administration, not the least of is the first rewrite of the tax code in more than 30 years. With us now political director david chalian, a big legislative win, but the American People saying in our polling that they dont want this kind of win. They dont actually like this tax bill, david . Thats right, john. Tak
Break is one hour away. Due to set out for maralago at 11 00 a. M. Eastern. Will he sign the tax bill . One thing he must sign the bill congress scrambled to keep the government up and running for another month. Lets go to the white house and find kaitlan collins. This is his first legislative win and huge for him and the Republican Party and dont know if he will sign it before he heads out or any public ceremony. Thats right. We do not know yet and the president is scheduled to leave the white house here in the next hour where hes going to go to his Maralago Club in west palm beach, florida, for the christmas vacation and weve been told by several white house officials they expect that he is likely to sign that 1. 5 trillion tax bill that republicans passed this week into law before he leaves, but theres nothing on his schedule for a signing ceremony. Its unclear if he will sign that in public or in private. We know he celebrated with republican lawmakers here at the white house on we
Reporte i think manu is having a hard time hearing me. Reporter any minute now, john, were expecting hope hicks to walk into the House Intelligence Committee meeting room just below me. The question is whether shes going to answer questions about her time during the transition period, and in the white house. What we can tell you is that congressman mike conway, the republicans leading the russia investigation, just told our colleague that he expects her to answer all those questions during the transition and during the white house. The question is whether or not she will actually do that or whether or not she will do what steve bannon did when he appeared before the Committee Earlier this month, he said he would not answer questions because it preserves the right of the president to invoke executive privilege during the transition and the campaign. What hope hicks is uncertain. Whether she has an agreement with the Committee Also uncertain. Mike conway is not certain of any agreement s
