Four gop senators announcing they will be voting yes on the bill. The gop is close to securing those 50 votes. President trump a vote to cut taxes is a vote to put America First again. Its time to take care of our communities and rebuild our great country. This weeks vote can be the beginning of a new chapter for the american worker. Charles the gop cant break out the confetti yet. There are a few obstacles yet. With me to discuss, former congressman jason chaffetz. Its always so much drama in the senate. You have all these competing personalities. We should caution the audience. The motion to proceed does not necessarily mean people voting yes for that will vote on the ultimate tax package. We are talking about tax reform and cutting taxes. This is the hurdle that allows the the vote to come up. Then once you get through that hurdle members can offer amendment after amendment. I think the jockeying that you have seen, the socalled holdouts, are just trying to attract the attention of the white house and the gop. Charles what happens when the competing interests, for instance, Susan Collins interests when it comes to the individual mandate. There is no way they can get rid of that 300 million of found money. What about john mccain . I think at the end of the day almost every republican will vote yes except john mccain. He likes high military spending but he doesnt want to cut taxes. Charles that leaves the flake, langeford, and corker. Its still tough to break out the confetti. I think they will not be the sole person that holds out and says no to this. I still think it gets to the finish line. The fastest thing they can do is vote on the house bill. But nobody seems to be talking about that. Charles something offered to corker yesterday was a trigger. If deficits go up taxes go up. It sounds crazy to me. It sounds like a death wish. I hate it. The last time you want to raise taxes is when the economy starts to dwindle. You should never have to justify allowing the American People to keep the money in their own wallets. What the Senate Passed in their budget was cut spending. Jeff flake says if you want to put in triggers. Trigger cuts in spending if the economy goes our. Charles they did that with sequestration. Tammy bruce, a member of the independent womens voice board of directors and deneen borelli. We are getting some momentum. If this were the Boston Marathon we are at Heartbreak Hill. Tammy the Heartbreak Hill is with Vice President pence having dinner with flake. Obviously President Trump who won missouri by 20 points, company won it by 9. Even though mccaskill won by 3 votes in committee, mcconnell will have an impact on someone like mccaskill, but he doesnt seem to be going there. Wouldnt it be ironic fit comes down to john mccain. He also has a chance to say to the American People, i understand process matters, i made that point. Lets do this now. For 8 years process didnt matter when the democrats were in power. Today the russell 2,000 closed at a record high. So wall street is still believing that this gets through, but its a nail biter. Its about certainty. Businesses want to know that tax cuts will be there. You have got 30 million Small Businesses in the country and 57 Million People employed by these Small Businesses. Its about certainty and growing the economy. I believe the gdp is 30 now. We are seeing the numbers go up. You made a great point when you said the word drama. Its endless. Charles lets ask the former congressman about it. It is endless. When you hear President Trump on the stump talking about whats going on in this country which gets very little coverage in the Mainstream Media. Who would go against that right now . And yet here we are talk about this being on the precipice of living or dying. What is difficult which is also on the calendar is the government. Will that involves chuck and nancy . I think chuck and nancy made a big mistake. When the president invited them to the white house and they didnt show up. Now Mitch Mcconnel mitch mcconnn excuse to say we are going nuclear. If they are not going to show up and have a discussion, they lose their ability to be part of it. Charles there is so much anxiety about going nuclear. This is a senate rule. Its not etched on the side of mount sinai. A lot of the oldtimers believe protect the rights of the minority. But when the minority doesnt show up at the table, they pass that right. Charles to your point this circles back to leadership. Tammy if you are going to bring up tyranny, i never saw tyranny at all. Charles just tears. Tammy we want to bring both sides together. But when you have a side that says we are done, we are not going to talk to you anymore. That reasoning is over. Charles senate gop leaders struck a deal. Well be right back. They appear out of nowhere. My secret visitors. Appearing next to me in plain sight. Hallucinations and delusions. These are the unknown parts of living with parkinsons disease. What stories they tell. But for my ears only. What plots they unfold. But only in my mind. Over 50 of people with parkinsons will experience hallucinations or delusions during the course of their disease. And these can worsen over time, making things even more challenging. But there are advances that have led to Treatment Options that can help. If someone you love has parkinsons and is experiencing hallucinations or delusions, talk to your parkinsons specialist. Because theres more to parkinsons. My visitors should be the ones i want to see. Learn more at moretoparkinsons. Com charles president returning to joints base andrews after delivering a speech on tax reform earlier today in missouri. A pry up and the speech a triumphant speech, i think it was. A controversial deal to reel . Senator bob corker. Gop leaders agreed to add a trigger provision that would effectively raise tax if u. S. Economic growth does not generate the revenue expected. It raises the question, did republicans shoot themselves in the foot with this one . Joining us, liz peak and shelby holliday. I understand you are grappling to get everyone on board. But this trigger provision could send taxed up in a slow economy. We have a slow economy, revenues are slow to the treasury department. So we have a slow economy and higher taxes. Its the worst possible tax and economic policy. If all of a sudden tax revenues are not up to expectations you raise taxes. This is a terrible rolling back of taking away from corporations with certainty what you are trying to promise them. The whole idea is to give them a running field with which they can make their planning. I think it is a terrible idea. Charles you have 3 or 4 republicans who are deficit hawks. He said i understand the concern such a trigger could cause the Business Community to slow down. Charles just its exis existence could have a negative impact on the bill. Some senators cant even explain it. Its hard to tell when the economy is slow for other reasons. China, something abroad, a terror attack. You dont want to hinge taxes on an event like that. Charles there are some folks saying you people who believe in Ronald Reagan and supply side economics, what are you crying about . Deficits will go down and they will go up automatically. They are saying what are you so afraid of if your plan is so good. It comes to certainty. We are in a late stage of this recovery. It has probably gone beyond expectations in terms of time. Growth is over 3 . But at some point you are going to get a slowdown. What worries me, this reflects to my in minded the gop senators in question dont understand and believe in the power of tax cuts. What are you afraid of . Kim jongun. You get a nuke, the economy goes nuts. Charles there is a lurking black suwannee vent or the cycles of or a black swan event. What else do they have left . What else could they deal with . There are rumors they are thinking about boosting the Corporate Tax rate from 20 to 22. President trump doesnt like that. They will debate this. More breaking news. Word from the attorney for congressman john conyers. His attorney telling fox news that a report by nbc detroit that conyers will not seek reelection is not accurate. He says no decision has been made. And he says conyers will fight these allegations. Well be right back. My experience with usaa has been excellent. They always refer to me as master sergeant. They really appreciate the military family, and it really shows. Weve got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. Had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. Usaa was there handson very quick very prompt. I feel like were being handled as people that actually have a genuine need. Were the webber family and we are usaa members for life.

Charles the senate has just now voted to start debate on the tax bill along party lines 5248. The democrats are taking a and to not take a stand to not support any spending bill until daca is handled. Vince, something that kamala harris, the senator from california said, drawing a line in the sand on this. Let me be clear. I will not vote for an endofyear spending bill until we are clear about what we are going to do to protect and take care of our daca young people in this country. Charles what she is say together American Public is well shut down this government and close it down if we dont get some sort of way to allow Daca Recipients to stay in this country. In a just country the democrats would be blamed. But if it comes to a Government Shutdown the media will find a way to blame President Trump. Democrats are desperate to offer amnesty for anybody who is a daca recipient. They are scared of their base. Remember nancy pelosi getting shouted down by Illegal Immigrants earlier this year. She did not know what to do. The only reaction she has had is to cower in fear to give them whatever they like. Let me tell you how right you are. With an american middle class thats hurting. Homeless in the streets, the government would shut down to protect the children of Illegal Immigrants. This is hardly surprising. But to vinces point, we are not going to give folks blanket amnesty because the problem wont be solved. What we want is an end of chain migration. So we are basically at loggerheads. Well get a c. R. And punt until march 5 when President Trumps daca decision expires. Charles vince, there will be the blame game. Ford just mentioned the media. Under President Trump the blame game was all about the meanspirited republicans who shut down the federal government. Would the democrats have to bear the brunt of blame if it came to that . They are sitting squarely in the drivers seat. If they block it, its their fault no matter what anybody else says. All the showmanship by president obama shutting down parks, it will be interesting to see how President Trump treats those things. The reason why the republicans are going to get the blame. Because most of americans dont know high school civics. In the senate you need 60 votes. And we dont have 60 seats. The democrats say there you go again. The republicans cant govern. Charles we had former representative chaffetz and he talked about the Nuclear Option. I know mcconnell is loathe to use it but in this case would it be appropriate . Absolutely. Use the Nuclear Option here. Charles lawmakers facing allegations, john conyers looks like hes buckling down for a fight. Hes not the only one. Well discuss it next. Copd makes it hard to breathe.

It is unclear if the complaints between stories from time and variety of the time or different people, but well hash that out. The question, what about capitol hill . Maybe Congress Finally stepping up. They have been using taxpayer money, and the confidentiality shields. They are a bill to require house expose names of lawmakers. Here with me now conservative millennial blogger. And tammy bruce. First, congress. We see now relative swiftness happening in the world of entertainment and other areas. Where the allegations are made. Still, have you conyers, tonight his attorney contacting fox news, saying he is not stepping down, and he will fight the allegations. This is a sad day when our media moguls and celebrities are doing a better job of reporting and punishing Sexual Misconduct than our lawmakers. It crazy, to me, it has taken my life for congress to fess up to fact that was a political farce. A hollow piece of legislation, it silenced the victims andlied to tax paying americans about where their money was going. Congress has t to get it togeth. I commend them for renewed energy to create a process where victims come forward, but there has to be an external over site, congress is ineffective at policing their own bad behave why are. Charlesbehavior. Charles we should let you know, that not all of congress. But weve seen where franken. Gave the press conference with the black backdrop, and apologized but not specific on what he was apologizing for. And not stepping down. And conyers not stepping down. Those are folks, that astonishment this roy here, who is not elected. Ask not dropping out of the race. They are all rubbing each others backs, there has been 17 million paid out over 20 years. I think that americans deserve to know who, utilized these payments and why. Really outrageous. Like two sets of books and two sets of rules, if it were you, me or anyone e el here, we would be held a coin able. Charles accountable. Charles what do you make of this. This is what is interesting, that is just the money we know about. Where people went through the system, were going to look at a lot more, they just passed there everything has to go through Sexual Harassment training bill. Nobody did this because they were trained not to. To your point, this is still a minority of men, not every men, most men know not to do it we want to see transparency, this issue in particular, who did it in what the payments were for. And also want to release the nondisclosure agreements for the victims, and so that we could have clarity. This is what they are fighting for. And for my sister there, the millennial, is that the hollywood and news media are doing this kicking and screaming, they are doing it because they have to. Congress as we noted has never had to follow rules, this is why they continue to resist. Charles to your pain, for instance with matt lauer, complaint comes in monday, and he is out on wednesday. You look at this closer, you see other revelations, perhaps nbc knew about it for a long period. If that is true. So maybe this scandal is just now breaking out, may not be swift justice after all. Yes, true. I dont think that necessarily Mainstream Media or hollywood is more, moral, than congress, just they are more now morally. John glenn called congress the last plantation because it seemed they were morally exempt from then racial discrimination, and all sorts, that is still true, 23 years later. Charles quickly. Dodo you think that congress wil set up something that is true accountability, transparency and level with the folks . Or just do what they do about announcing bills and no move ond hope it fades away. I think it has to come from us, there has to be enough external pressure. If we dont get transparency on the existing list, it never going to happen. Right now i p i think they ae just running the clock, it has been exposed. Midterms will send another message to them, we have to get fresh, term limits that might solve some of the problems. Charles i could tell you, some things that we have complained about congress about, they have you know justa way always founda way to give us lip service, thank you very much. Well be right back.
