need to be taken into consideration. we're covering them all. the president taking a big step today to help relief efforts in puerto rico. a live report from san juan coming straight up. three months after a gunman nearly killed him on a baseball diamond, congressman steve scalise returning to capitol hill. the emotional response from his colleagues in a moment. lauren: back to the markets. the dow closing higher second day in a row. nicole petallides watching action on floor of new york stock exchange. investors looking at mcdonald's today. they like what they see, nicole. >> no doubt a nice upgrade giving boost to macdonalds. majority of points thanks to mickey d's. it was up 2.2%. upgrade from longbow research to a buy rating helped boost the stock itself and added maybe 25, 28 points to thedown. exxon, unitedhealth, american express, other winners there. american express new annual high. we talk about russell, talk about s&p 500. look at s&p 500. 2510. that is a new record close. with that, that is since september 20th. a new record for s&p 500. and russell. there it is. clocked in a record itself, all-time highs for the dow transports and russell. it is up about 25% since election day. nice run. last but not least, let's check in on the key ipo from today. everybody loves to see big moves. i mean who would turn down 68% moves to the upside? roku comes out today, this is ipo, priced 12 to 14. moved way higher than that. 23.50, trading way above expectations. of course you use this to stream sources like netflix, amazon, all things cool and fun. we'll see what happens if it holds to these kinds of gains. what a run-up. lauren, david, back to you. lauren: let's bring in the panel. john petrides, and veronica daguerre. we have 3.1% gd growth. has donald trump made economy great again? is this for real? >> better-than-expected results with the revision. we have a steady strong economy. it hasn't been blockbuster but steady and good. we have good job numbers. we have good consumer spending. consumer is largely driving this economy still. although we have really bright spots when it comes to business investment. we're seeing businesses feeling more confident. now, you can only imagine how things would be depending on how we get the tax reform. what that final, what that is going to look like. if we get something that is going to be even more favorable to companies, lower tax rates, we could see even more growth. lauren: john, the magic number is ambitious but with tax reform maybe we get to 5% gdp growth? i don't remember the last time we saw something like that. i think, john, though the issue is right now while things are improving and we have 3.1% gdp it doesn't feel like that to so many americans. >> i think that's right. i think veronica is exactly right. the report was good. it wasn't perfect but i think right now good is perfect and again if you get tax reform that will help stocks a lot higher. it may not feel that on main street but wall street will look at earnings, how companies are producing, what types of cash flow companies are producing in two weeks that earnings season begins and i think we'll see a healthy and solid q3 results. lauren: speaking the third quarter, the current quarter, we had so many hurricanes hit southern part of the country, we saw effect on job market. do you think hurricanes will temporarily dent gdp? >> they could temporarily but if you look at things like first quarter this could be good news for the economy because companies will spending, consumers will be spending even more as they rebuild. weird to find a silver lining in all the destruction but it is out there. lauren: that is argument you make after disaster, whole rebuilding effort that helps the economy. john, what was behind the latest gdp print? what is driving the economy? is it a little bit consumer or mostly business investment? >> i think the mane driver was business investment. let's see reflection. the gdp is backward looking. let's see the results in the upcoming earnings season. market is forward-looking. we'll see if it prices out what the future holds. lauren: this burning economy at this point, churning along is it for real, we real did i do. thank you very much. david: united behind tax reform. high-stakes battle looming on capitol hill as the president pushes forward his own tax plan. connell mcshane live at with the latest from d.c. connell. reporter: we started to have this conversation yesterday when i was out with the president in indianapolis, how do you get the package passed with the framework introduced? early in capitol hill the conversations have started. i give you two things to think about. one is timing. the other numbers. kevin brady house ways and means committee talked about timing. the budget has to pass first, if and when that happens you can use reconciliation from tax reform so you stay away possibility of a filibuster it. we'll watch that next couple weeks. that is certainly timing. now numbers, as president tries to line up some support for this, if one or two republicans are safe, hypothetically not on board you start wondering if any democrats can be con striped to be on board -- convinced to be on board and house majority leader was asked that today. watch. >> we don't need democratic support but i want democratic support. this is not a tax plan for republicans. this is tax plan for americans. reporter: you know, much that discussion at least so far talking about bringing it all together has surrounded this idea that has been proposed where you do away with the state and the local deductions. a lot of people fired up on capitol hill about that even today. watch this. >> there are 40 or 50 republican congressman from well-to-do suburban districts in high taxed states, new york, california, new jersey, pennsylvania, illinois, maryland, whose constituents will be clobbered by removing state and local deductibility, clobbered. reporter: clobbered, say it between to make your point there if you're senator schumer. that is how this debate is being framed, and we have heard from some of the republin coressman, david, that senator schumer no doubt referringo, likes of peter king, says he is concerned abouthat. some others sdhe same today. th is certainly something we'll watch as thedavid: we cane can ask one of them coming up. connell thanks. here is claudia tenney republican congresswoman from new york, financial services committee member. claudia, thank you for coming in. i have to ask because this is a key issue not just with democrats but also with republicans like yourself, you come from a high-taxed state, is the elimination of the deduction of state and local taxes a deal-breaker on this tax plan for you? >> i don't think it's a deal breaker. i think it is an important issue. you have to remember as very high-taxed state, over 30% of the filers nationwide are using the state and local tax deduction. in new york state alone, over 50% are in the 200 plus bracket. 44% are in the 50 to 100% bracket. you're talking about mid did i, income taxpayers. it is an issue. we're doubling standard deduction, which will eliminate itemizers around provide relief, put more in paychex of taxpayers. we're looking in new york on average, we'll be giving over $5,000 more in cash back to taxpayers of their hard-earned money. there are pluses and minuses. david: on high-end, elimination of amt. >> alternative minimum tax. david: exactly. on both high-end, low end there are things to compensate for that but is there enough of a compensating factor from elements to take care of elimination of the deduction? >> looks like what will happen, see those in lower tax brackets, middle income taxpayers will receive the best benefit. that is part of the mission of the president. remember, he wants to help the middle class. he is not interested helping wealthier in our society. david: he is interested in growth. wealthy frankly do a lot of growing in this country. they invest money. if they're a small business they may be considered rich but they're pouring all of their money into their company. that creates jobs. >> right. but they're using a pass-through methodology. they're not doing personal income return -- they're doing personal income tax return but using a pass-through. a lot of deductions come into play even though it will be simplified. it's a concern for new yorkers especially in high taxed states. there is contra argument, by continuing to allow deductions we're enabling tax-and-spend addiction of governor cuomo for new york, tax-and-spend liberals here in new york who have driven jobs from our communities. david: their free spending habits are being subsidized by folks in texas and florida where there is no state income tax. >> i'm concerned about my middle income taxpayers, people like me who really need to have -- doubling the standard deduction could be a huge help for many of us. and plus just lowering the rate to such an extent, this is some of the largest tax cuts we've seen in a generation. it will be very historic. if we can get this done, maybe make some compromises on state and local tax deduction and pass the budget, republicans will be in great shape next year. we'll really see, i heard you talking about gdp and growth. i think you will see explosive gdp growth if we get this done an hopefully next year, sooner than that get obamacare repealed or replaced. david: we have to do tax cut this is year, so we can work it into our new tax form. congresswoman, there is one thing no controversy at all, that is what happened, very emotional moment on capitol hill today when both democrats and republicans stood together for majority whip steve scalise. he returned to the house floor first time since being gunned down in june. let's take a listen. >> starts with god. [applause] when i was laying out on that ball field the first thing i did once i was down and i couldn't move anymore, i just started to pray. and i will tell you it gave me an unbelievable sense of calm, knowing that at that point it was in god's hands. david: wow, what a pleasure. not only see him and both sides of the aisle praise god. when does that happen in congress? >> it took my breath away. he is sensational guy, fantastic. his wife jennifer was there. i was lucky enough to be there, people my guests sitting in the balcony, we were all in tears. i have to say i have got my scalise strong bracelet in honor of congressman scalise, such a brave leader. he came back. it wasn't i'm glad to be back. i'm back, i'm stronger. more important now that i represent this nation and my community. i couldn't be prouder of having a colleague like steve scalise. he is just, very, the best, the cream of the crop. wonderful guy. well-loved as you say by both sides. david: right. >> you couldn't ask for a greater person to represent our nation really. david: we need that sort of moment at times like this. claudia tenney, great to see you. appreciate it. >> thank you so much. david: lauren. lauren: i hate to ruin it, bah humbug. i will say that. it might be very difficult now to give or get the new iphone this holiday season. david: oh, no. lauren: i know. david: president trump reiterating to fox news that republican leadership have enough votes to repeal and replace obamacare. yes, again. editor-in-chief of "the hill," bob cusack on likelihood of congress coming together on this as well as tax reform. lauren: backlash against national anthem protest ahead of tonight's game between the packers and the bears. you will not see it at one ohio sports bar or not see any games this season. we'll talk to that restaurant owner who is boycotting the nfl. >> the nfl can not disrespect our country. they can not disrespect our flag, or our national anthem. ♪ strategy the same way to create a financial plan built to last from generation to generation. we'll listen. we'll talk. we'll plan. baird. ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ well i'm gone you know win control? be this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender.

most people agree with me. david: ohio certainly does. bill is a former marine and owner of a beef owe brady's franchise, just outside of dayton, ohio. he is refusing to show nfl games until the disrespect for our flag and anthem ends. what has been the reaction? how will it affect his bottom line? he is on the phone with us to talk about it. bill, great to talk to you again. what was the final straw for you that made you do this? >> david, hello, yes. it has been about a week, the final straw was on sunday when we saw the widespread disrespect during the national anthem. david: did the president's words on friday where he singled out the nfl players, said, how he thought they should be treated by the owners, did that have any effect with you? or was it actually seeing that many players taking a knee on sunday? >> no. i think it started a while ago but it really was the effect of seeing what the players did. didn't have anything to do with the comments. you know, i have to tell you, as a veteran of the united states marine corps i served to defend our country's constitution and free speech. while i respect the right of every american to express their views and voice this freely, the actions demonstrated by the nfl players during the country's national anthem, it was offensive and disrespectful to me as a proud veteran and to all veterans. david: you're a business owner. you're a veteran first. but you're also a business owner. it will cost you money. it may cost to your employees. did you talk to your employees about the decision before you did it? >> yes, i did. we are a family restaurant. we have been for 13 years. the customers come in from the community to relax and entertained by the nfl on sundays. we serve a lot of local military families and veterans, many who share my view of the nfl players actions during the national anthem. yesterday afternoon, before making this decision i met with the leadership team to insure that we were all aligned on issue. in short we were. we always knew our sales might be negatively impacted. david: not only your sales. i should mention directv has nfl sunday night ticket. most of us know it personally, but it costs business as lot more than it does individuals, and they are not giving you your money back for that, are you? you will have to pay for that cost even though you are not showing it. >> right. so we called them up to cancel yesterday, because commercial account they wouldn't refund our $6,000. david: $6,000. that is a lot of money. >> we formally requested it though much hopefully they will change their mind. they're doing it for residential customers. david: bill, we have to go, but does president trump know what you're doing? >> you know i'm not sure but i will leave you with this. i have a saying that everything lives in conversation. so i would like to send a message directly to president donald trump and the nfl commissioner roger goodell, to join me over couple cold beers at my restaurant at beef o brady's in ohio. david: that would be a great way to come to conclusion. hope you make up the cost. freedom doesn't come free and you're paying for it. thank you as a marine,. >> thank you, david. semper fi. david: semper fi. maybe we can get a camera in there. lauren: for all the negativity there is a good headline coming out of the nfl this week. one rookie player paying it forward giving back to those who lost everything during hurricane harvey. growing humanitarian crisis in puerto rico. more than a week after hurricane maria, millions still without power. they're desperate for food and water. officials working around the clock to get supplies needed most. is it working? >> one of the important things we've done so far clearing main routes on island. trees, power lines, other debris. people can't get out to get food and water they need or get to a hospital. ♪ for the future. see? we're putting away acorns to show the importance of being organized. that's smart. who's he? he's the green money you can spend now. what's up? oh you know, gonna pay some bills, maybe buy a new tennis racket. tennis racket for a squirrel? he's got a killer backhand. when it's time to get organized for retirement, it's time to get voya. ♪ crisis in puerto rico continues with almost 100% of the island's power grid badly damaged. residents are struggling to get through daily life. >> we only have certain hours with light during the day. which means, that what do we do? do we spend our time, two hours, three hours in a line in the grocery store? five, six hours in a line to put gas on the car? an hour in the atm if you are able to find one? those are the main challenges. lauren: they're big challenges. joining me via phone, the puerto rico department of public security secretary. good to see you, hector. >> thank you for having me. lauren: where are you located right now exactly? >> we're looking to stablize the situation. this is catastrophic event by any means. this collapsed the whole thing here. sorry about my voice getting raspy. we understand, we're sensitive that we recognize that people are frustrated because they don't get basics. we know that we're working tirelessly to restore power it is a problem. we need to bring up tell consider communications. 80% of telecommunications went down with the system. we're in process of establishing food supply. we have enough fuel, diesel. the problem the transportation line, we can't get enough trucks to transport the fuel. we're cognizant of problem. we're working with everyone that we can. we're pushing now, publishing gas stations open. and times they will be open to try to ease the line, the waiting in the line. we have our priorities set up, but it is not going to be flipping a switch everything back to normal. it will take years, hector. it will take years. distribution as you clearly noticed such a problem. >> yes. >> jones act was waived today by the president. >> yes. lauren: is this a political move or do you think this will really help get supplies needed as fast as possible? >> i think it will be they will flow in, necessary merchandise will come in, still our problem how to distribute what we have in here. we need to get the electrical grid up in priority places, basically an example, hospitals of the that is our priority right now. hospitals we need to energize the hospitals. but, parallel to that, we got communications issues. basic communications. the atm, we already brought in money. people didn't even know that, we coordinated money because gas stations were only requesting cash. therefore cash supply was down. nobody knows it. we brought it in. there is enough money. but there is sequential event. it is complex situation. not an easy fix. involve as lot of logistical things that we need to put in place. and that is why we asked fema for assistance. we can't do this thing by ourselves. there is no way. so we're getting -- i'm sorry, go ahead. lauren: without atms, having cash, without cash you can't buy fuel to run backup generators. >> there you go. lauren: trying to get it done in few hours of daylight. a lot of people don't realize how dire the situation is on the ground. if you have one message, what would it be right now? >> please, please be patient. we're getting there. we know what the priorities are. we're getting, enough help from the federal government. we'll get there, but please understand everything, everything collapsed in a 24, 32 hour period. this will be not like flipping a switch having it working instantly. it doesn't work that way. so be patient. we'll get there. and sooner than later we'll fix this to start seeing how we will move forward. please be patient. that's all. lauren: already more than a week out, since the storm made landfall. hector, thank you so much. >> you're very welcome. thank you. david: you can hear it in his voice. lauren: i know. david: details on breaking news story from twitter, revealing interference from russian accounts during the u.s. elections. gerri willis joining us now. we're hear about a congressman from this, right? >> that's right. this fast-breaking story this afternoon. democratic senator mark warner saying the presentation twitter made to intelligence staff on russian interference on the platform, he described as deeply, deeply disappointing. warner said the twitter briefing did not begin to answer questions about investigators about russian activity on the platform amount u.s. senator, democratic senator mark warner saying that the presentation by twitter was not what hoped it would be, not getting enough information. not enough details. as you know, because you've been covering this story all hour, that presentation made it clear that there was russian activity on twitter. they're reviewing their political advertising disclosure policy. and they say they found 201 accounts, 201, linked to russian-backed facebook pages. russian interference on twitter during the election and mark warner dade saying hey didn't like what i heard today, not enough detail. very disappointing. david: already getting political. gerri willis. thank you very much. not surprising. lauren. lauren: another case of identity politics. what former first lady michelle obama is say about women who voted for president trump. you won't believe it. david: plus looking out for the middle class. republicans releasing a framework for their tax overhaul. can the party unite behind the plan? tony sayegh, u.s. treasury assistant secretary for public affairs joining us next. ♪ ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ well i'm gone david: well gop tax plan seems to have unified republicans far more than any health care plan. will that unity hold in time to make changes to the tax code this year. here now tony sayegh, united states treasury assistant secretary for public affairs, good friend of fox and my own. tony, good to see you here. ronald reagan, i don't have to tell you, ronald reagan took his case directly to the american people. he had prime time broadcast on all the networks detailing exactly how his tax changes would affect their pocketbooks. they called their congressman. that is how the deal got done back in 198 1. is this president going to do the same? >> david, thank you for having me. as you see the president is already doing that. he started in earnest back toward end of august going out with very important message on tax reform and tax cuts. that we're focused on giving middle income families tax relief. david: tony, prime time is very different than doing the speeches before a crowd that is for you, you know what i'm saying? >> i anticipate, david, by the time we're moving down the legislative effort here with tax reform you will see something on prime time from the president. david: great. >> this is what he does best. he engages publicly. explains why it is important for middle income families and workers and business owners. that, sr. with the focus of tax reform and tax cuts we're working with congress are. why you talk about the fact on the individual side you're basically doubling zero tax rate, to include those currently in the 10% rate. taking us from 15%, to a 12% rate. doubling standard deduction. david: we heard all that yesterday, tony. what we're hearing now comments from chuck schumer and other people opposed to parts of this. chuck schumer saying it is bad for the middle class, in fact you just mentioned the middle class will get extra 1000 bucks in their pocket, you increased deductibility, doubled deductibility right off the bat. the president has to make the case to american people. that is why a prime time address is so important. >> look he is making that case. i'm sure as i assured you before, david, you will see him at some point doing just that. but bottom line, workers are going to benefit. on business side we're lowering rates historically. we'll go from 35% corporate rate, down to 20. on small business rate, we're going down from 39% upper rate to 25%. that is lowest top rate on businesses that create jobs in this country since the 19 30. senator schum her and miss pelosi with all respect and do talking points to obstruct -- david: tony, one issue that some republicans have a problem with. i will read it to you on the top end of the scale. additional top rate on wealthy may apply to highest income taxpayers to resure the reformed tax code is at least progress he have sieve as the existing tax code. a lot of conservatives say our progressive tax code is one of the reasons that we have anemic growth. one of the reasons growing disparity between the richest and poorest. we don't want to maintain so-called progressive aspects of the tax code. >> david, we're talking about the potential of a fourth rate that will not be higher than the existing top rate at 35%. we're not necessarily going to get there. we might be lower than that it is option because we made it abundantly clear not goal of ultimate legislation to take the burden on middle income families. that is only reason we kept the option open. david: you don't want to penalize success at top rate, do you? >> at same time, david, you know this very well, look what we're doing to spur competition in business. we're taking our rates on our businesses that create jobs, that reinvest in the economy, that give their workers pay raises, grow the economy, we're doing that. that is where you see so much of the growth that we've been missing for the last eight years. i would urge you look at total package to see what we're doing. that will get us to the sustained level of 3% growth which frankly we achieved last quarter and continue to achieve. david: we saw the figures today. you're already above 3%. we'll see whether those numbers change at all. final question, tony, is it going to happen this year? are we going to see a change in the 2017 taxes? >> yes, we are. that is exactly why we feel our unified framework gives two committees that write the tax reform policy in congress, what they need to move forward through regular order, get input from other members, get this to the president's desk by end of the year, to give the american people real tax cuts and tax relief. david: tony sayegh, good to see you. thank you very much for coming on. >> thanks, david. david: lauren. lauren: with the tax cut you could probably afford the new iphone x but you might have to wait until 2018 to get it with reported production tags related to the phone's 3 d sensor. demand is expected to be pretty high and supply pretty low. go to fox business's hillary vaughn with those details. hillary, this has to be bad for apple, no? >> apple's stock is down 5% since the launch especially with this news there will be a slower rollout. this is apple's most high-tech device ever. the new tech makes it easier to use in some ways. that means it is harder for apple to manufacturer. you're right, users may have to wait until after christmas to get it. "wall street journal" confirms that apple is hitting production roadblock with parts related to the three d sensor technology. "romeo & juliet," work together to create the face i.d. feature. they map facial features beaming 30,000 infrared dots across user's face. july yet makes the i.d. problem romeo takes longer than juliet, with the module waiting for romeo to make the shelves. they're expecting apple to only 38 million units of the device by end of next year. there is speculation that apple could be purposely slowing roll out of the 10 to boost sales for the 8 that have been lagging. i talked with mizuho's senior technology analyst, he tells me that apple would a officially clear demand of high-end product in order to do sales towards their lower-priced device. lauren: hillary, the facial recognition, that is the bread and butter of iphone x to unlock the thing. this is a pretty bad problem. hillary vaughn, thank you. david: he still briefs in president revealing tax plan. he is holding out hope for health care reform round three, if you will. but is it possible for congress to get everything done by the end of the year?

president trump says complicated piece of legislation still has legs. >> the health care bill didn't go down. we have the votes but reconciliation is a disaster, but as you know it ends on friday so we don't have enough time because one senator who is a yes vote, a great person he is in the hospital. he is a yes vote. so we can't do it by friday. we have the votes. we will do it sometime beginning of the year but prior to the election in november. david: here is bob cusack, editor-in-chief of "the hill." bob, are the votes there. >> no, david, they're not. they're still shy at least one vote. at first, when he was, president was talking about that i thought he meant john mccain. he was a no vote. john mccain obviously diagnosed with cancer. no, they don't have the votes. white house explained at briefing in prescription pill there are the votes and support for obamacare repeal. david: i see. >> of course details are what is the problem. david: absolutely. >> i don't think health care is coming back. maybe there is bipartisan fix. i think that will be tough to do. i think it is all about tax reform. one thing, david, republicans can never say okay we'll leave obamacare as is. they have to come back to health care at some point. david: there are tweaks to be done along the line. one of those details or possible tweaks is, taking insurance across state lines. big issue for rand paul and some other conservatives. >> yeah. david: could the president do something to fix this by executive order? >> yes. senator rand paul said, he talked to the president and that, the president could sign an executive order doing this. now that would be legally challenged because there are critics of this, legislation on capitol hill has not gotten a vote but rand paul has said any day now, trump is going to do this and republicans, this is something republicans by and large like that could help the health care system. i think trump is going to do this. david: let's talk about taxes, my favorite subject because the president when he unveiled the tax plan or at least his side of the tax plan he was joined by a democratic congressman, i think joe donnelly of indiana. >> yeah. david: is there any chance that joe donnelly or some other democrat will come on board for tax changes when he couldn't get any for the health care change? >> i think they could pick off a democrat here or there in the house and senate. you know, as they did -- david: that is pretty important. one or two could make the difference. >> it could. it really could. of course senator schumer and nancy pelosi, they will be whipping this. they want to be united on it. republicans were able to pick off some democrats in bush 2001 tax cuts. it is smart for the president to have a message. their message is better on taxes, certainly than it was on health care, to invite the democrats. democrats including donnelly, they're up next year for re-election in red states that trump easily won. david: bob, we've been whipping all guests on this subject, do you think that it will pass this year? >> i think there is 60% chance. david: that's pretty good. >> failure on health care, freedom caucus getting on board, that was a big deal. neil: bob cusack, from "the hill" the thank you very much appreciate it. lauren: coming up when they go low, we go high, i guess that only counts for fellow democrats. michelle obama's harsh word for women who voted for donald trump next. ♪ lauren: former first lady michelle obama called women out for voting for president trump saying this at a conference in boston. quote, any woman who voted against hillary clinton voted against their envoys. david: huh? lauren: david shaking his head. he is not a woman. to talk about this we have republican strategist, former trump surrogate, erin elmore. your reaction. >> i'm with david, huh? this is, smh is all the kids say, smh. this is identity politics at its absolute worse. there are so many juicy tidbits from her vitriolic rant. i don't know where to start. she didn't call it a vote for donald trump, that is was a vote against hillary clinton. that implies they didn't like donald trump, they didn't like hillary. millions of women voted for donald trump. i find it extremely sexist. women you don't have a voice if you like donald trump. that is not true. plenty of women in the country voted for donald trump, they are proud and support women's issues. i find it to be insane. lauren: erin, two of the biggest reasons that donald trump won the election was, because of what he said about the economy and how to fix it. and his stance on attacking terror. so, do women not care about the economy and terrorism? >> that's her implication. i also think extremely elitist. my opinion that donald trump is no good. that is what you should think, american women. that is not true at all. i was on the campaign trail, i spoke to women of every race, creed, color. the reasons they voted for donald trump. they cared about the economy. they wanted tax reform. they needed fewer regulations. they wanted repeal and replace of obamacare. they wanted safe boarders. it had nothing to do with hillary clinton. it had everything to do with donald trump. shame on her comments and she is dividing women. hillary clinton comments earlier in the week that women are publicly embarrassing them by supporting donald trump. is this a unifying message? certainly not. lauren: because we are women, we would only vote for a woman because she is a woman, that nothing else matters to us. we don't have personal opinions. >> her personal opinion is only one that counts. i encountered that a lot. don't you want to see a woman in the white house any would love to see a woman in the white house. have ivanka trump would be perfect. i won't vote for hillary clinton because she has xy chromosome. that is not reason enough to be on your resume'. lauren: you typically see former administrations, first ladies kind of not say much during the current administration. i guess that is not the case. >> certainly not. she is upset because president trump is undoing a lot of things important to barack obama and his legacy. sorry they were not right for america. come to terms with reality of the situation. november 2016 occurred. donald trump is president of the united states and time to wake up and deal with it. lauren: i think a lot of people need to get accustomed to that. erin he will more, thanks for per speck stiff. >> thank you. david: erin i don't think ever lost her voice. lauren: i don't know where to begin. david: with all the controversy surrounding nfl, here is a football story everybody can get behind. how one houston, texan player giving back after hurricane harvey. .. .. you know who likes to be in control? this guy. check it out! self-appendectomy! oh, that's really attached. that's why i rent from national. where i get the control to choose any car in the aisle i want, not some car they choose for me. which makes me one smooth operator. ah! still a little tender. (vo) go national. go like a pro. >> that was the rookie the sean watson. he is making four hundred $55,000 a year in base salary they don't make it so much they think they do. that check was worth over $27,000. he is playing it forward. when he was the running back. he helped build his family a home with the assistance of habitat for humanity. we have the packers against the bears and some question about where the packers are to go and what to get to do. the game begins at 7:30. and wish that guy in ohio the very best. risk and reward starts now. >> we will cut taxes for the middle class make the tax code simpler and more fair for everyday americans and we are going to bring back of the jobs in wealth that had left our country and most people left her country for good. we want tax reform that is progrowth, pro- jobs per worker profamily and yes tax reform that is pro- american. president trump unveiling his tax plan to help americans the house budget committee
