Fox Business NetworkDagen Mcdowell in new york this morning. Maria missing you come a day again. We are getting details. What is your takeover here when you talk about this tax plan . 20 Corporate Software expect game. Pastor at 25 . What about individual breaks my friend . Dagen dsu has been reporting it looks like a malicious boil it down the higher income americans likely will not get a tax cut and could get a tax increase because it looks like as it stands now, you will not get that much of a decline in the very top tax rate. We dont know what the income breakpoint would be. The top income threshold now is the top rate is now 3926 . If you earn more than 418,400 a year, you pay that rate. We dont know whether this tax plan, where the breaking point would be. Its not going to be a tax cut for everybody. Maria especially to eliminate the deduction of state and local income tax. The tax rate from 39. 6 to 37 or 39 which is what theyre talking about in the local and state income tax, you could be looking at an increase. Have you seen it . Dagen is exactly right. Douglas in the the details. What are these pay for us, deductions they take away. In the end, all that effective tax rate. Not just the beginning tax rate. Overall, this is going to be a big, big tax rate. We would not know details of this for a while, because they are leaving it for lawmakers in the house and senate to work out what the top rate is going to be. Three brackets at the top rated 35 . Now it looks like four brackets with a top rate of undefined. Maria exactly. We are waiting on not really a nurse. I think its going to be a millionaire raid around 39. 6 and that is something that could get jacked up later on with a democrat in the white house. Maria you are absolutely right. A lot to talk about on the subject. Utah senator and Senate FinanceCommittee Chairman orrin hatch is at best. Ted cruz will join us this morning along with Washington Congresswoman and conference chair, Cathy Mcmorris rogers is here. Singersongwriter clint back country and black is here. Taken it off defeating incumbent senator luke are strange in the republican runoff yesterday. The senate seat vacated by attorney general Jeff Sessions. Roy moores victory comes despite being outspent by a margin of 101 who is backed as Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell of President Trump. Moore said the facts most often for from working with this administration. We can support the president. Dont let anyone in the press think that because he supported my president that i do not support him and support his agenda. Maria the president applauded warnes primary win treating this yesterday. Congratulations to poor is when an alabama. Both are strange started way back in ran a good race. Roy wanted what is this . When in december. Congressmen of carolina who chairs the Republican Senate committee. Thanks for joining us. Your reaction to these results. I dont think its much of a surprise. We believe this is a referendum on Mitch Mcconnell and the ability to be able to reform specifically a major items are promised American People the last few years. Somebody says what does this look like to donald trump. I dont think it stinks to the president at all. I believe its another shout, another call to action, specifically Mitch Mcconnell. Maria what do you think worry more will say when it comes to things like tax reform, health care . Every means to be seen. We live in a culture where we continue and remember the effective conservative is a huge component of this not just being conservative. If your policy never reaches the audience come you have to ask yourself what good is this policy . Together thing about alabama which is interesting as there is a little bit of a corrupt bargain with roy moore given a nice cover to the former governor who got himself in trouble. People are just done with those. Absolutely. They want someone to feel like did they say a writer whether theres much truth or not. To marias question, that remains to be seen. Can you come in and bring those values you aspire to in turn them into a way to effectively be a legislator. Congressman, i want to ask about the tax they were just were just talking about the uncertainty where the top rate is going to be. If you get yourself in your group behind a plan that doesnt lower the top rate to some level below 39 points. I think we can in here a spy. If we look at the last few months we have 980 billion of obamacare taxes that we are hoping to include in the whole reform relief package because those two things are off the table. We have to look at primary focusing on the middleclass tax relief and work her way to making sure everybody gets an opportunity, even the upper brackets. Our focus should be on the middleclass. The other component removes the main talking point from the left for my Democrat Friends who want to make the case we are only concerned about giving the rich more tax breaks. Maria you got bullied again by the left. I wouldnt put it specifically in that component, but if you prioritize come you only have so much money. It should be the middleclass. Maria we understand that. Even ive spoken a hundred times on who pays all the taxes. When you look at the highest earners, thats where the tax revenue is coming. What i said in the past as if you dont cut taxes on the highest earning, are you really cutting taxes . I want to point out half of americans in this country pay no that federal income tax then this is the right getting into the argument that somehow wealth is evil and riches are evil and that people who make north of half a Million Dollars a year dont benefit the economy and they dont deserve a tax break. And again, the redistribution of wealth, where you are going to tax the 10 chile people who make a lot of money in this country cant even more money to give people a break who already dont pay income taxes. Dagen is a rockstar. I do want to push back too much. The top 1 paid 24 of the taxes. Maria what about the top 10 . 70 . It could be that much. Weve got to continue to make sure the tax breaks go across everybody pay in taxes. If you have money without pushing things further into debt and you have to make a decision because you didnt get it as part of this because you didnt repeal the 980 billion of obamacare taxes, you have to do it in stages as opposed to out once. Maria make a good point because it comes up how are you going to pay for this. Thats where we are. Theres 1. 5 trillion that the party has to work with in the congressman says youve got to figure out how youre going to do the data. Lets talk about some of these as you say, state and local tax deduction, is that going to go away . Corporate interest rate, what will go away in this . What is the reform part of this plan . We hope to reform component manifest itself into everyday life for the middleclass, specifically more opportunities to take your family out to eat. Those are the kinds of tangible benefits we want to see. When it comes to what you talk about, state and local taxes, i dont believe well delve into component to make any impact on the state and local. This is completely from a federal. When it comes to other places to reform, we want to make sure people are deductions when it comes to higher education, mortgage interest deductions. Are you saying you dont want to dont want to get rid of state and local . Absolutely. North carolina is the benchmark was the local taxes. Her state senate has continued to reduce in the last five or six years. Some of those areas we are leading the entire country. This is a deduction. You want to keep the deduction in place . Listen, if i had to choose right now, thats too eliminated. Weve got to make sure it today will be a mini retreat. I dont want to be premature to kind of hear from kevin brady from the ways and means. What about the deficit . 1. 5 million coming out of the senate. We are not comfortable with that at all. Weve got to make sure when we put numbers in the matchup with god to make sure this breaks down with revenues not depleted to the place where robbing peter to pay paul. You dont have any deficit over 10 years. We are a balance budget balances of 10 years. You do want this revenue . Absolutely. Maria one of the most powerful lobbying group out there, the real estate lobby and carried interest. Anything being done there . Not that i know of. Today when we unveil the details with kevin brady for the first time gives us more than a framework, we will know more information. This finance not heard of that. Maria lets look at obamacare. At first repeal upon the care officially on ice after Senate Leaders conceded they would not be moving ahead with this repeal bill sponsored by republican senators Lindsey Graham and bill cassidy. The decision less than 24 hours after pivotal republican senator susan made. They are insisting the site is not over. The theater reaction. To my republican colleagues, we are going to fulfill our promise to repeal and replace. We are going to improve health care for you because at the end of the day, thats the only promise that matters. We havent given up on changing the American Health care system. We will not do that this week, but it still had us still had us and we havent given up on that. We do think it is time to turn to her twin priority reform of the tax code. Maria obamacare remains the law of the land. You believe we will see a change at some point . Whats the plan . It was interesting to listen to what Lindsey Graham used versus mitch oconnell. Mitch mcconnell the majority leader talked about improving the health care system. The position with 160 members were 17 of the 20 chairman we are committed to continue to repeal. Without going to the talking points, 94100 counties are down to only one insurance options. Premiums continue to rise. This is not something we can look the other way on. Absolutely. Not fulfilling their promise for a 7. 5 years to repeal and replace obamacare. Thats a little bit about what happened in alabama. Not for filling promises theres big trouble. Maria good to see you. Thanks for joining us this morning. Congressmen mark walker appeared a lot more to come. Stay with us live from d. C. This morning. Maria welcome back.

With the money or for the white house today and tell us which are deemed. Thank you. We attest to find amongst other Industry Leaders its really for us to have the opportunity to provide our thoughts on this crisis. For us its very important that the government really recognizes opioid addiction and disease. Thats really important starting point when we consider how we offer better treat her to the thousands of patients every year. Maria how did this happen . Tell me how this became a big of a crisis as it is . Like many crises that several Companies Impacted me in my background as a surgeon come at the main factors in the overprescribing of opioid medication. Its quite interesting in this country, starts by providing an opioid painkiller for any type of pain and considering where to go next. My i would perhaps provide acetaminophen, ibuprofen and work a providing an opioid painkiller that the patients condition. Maria doctors prescribing drugs. How we in this country used to prescribing in combination with the Marketing Tactics in the past. These types of foods in the crisis. The American Conservative Union spends a lot of time looking at the impact of this addiction on families. They pleaded to the election of 2016 coming from the lays out there across america where people feel that youre hopeless. Is there more component to the drug addiction as well . They are giving up hope. If you like they dont feel positive about their life and have good economic prospects. Is difficult to know the data we have. Im sure for many people its an issue. Once we recognize addiction as a disease, there is less blame or perhaps considerations of people in through that way, we can start having proper medical treatment not just for the success weve had with the development of the narcan nasal spray, which is saving lives, but also the condition more broadly. How does it fit into this . Tell us what your role is in this crisis we are talking about. We are dedicated pharmaceutical companies. We start by developing this narcan nasal spray, which saves patients lives. Should they overdose from an opioid. When that happens, you stop breathing. The way of saving a life is too delivered as quickly as possible in the narcan nasal spray can be used by anybody. We have licenses to another Pharmaceuti
