massive bills across the finish line. a live report from the site of the president's appearance as you look there live shortly. we will discuss the president's problems both at home and abroad with republican senator tom cotton here in studio in a few minutes. correspondent rich edson starts us off with the very latest from the north lawn. good evening, rich. >> good evening, bret. senate democrats say they have reached a compromise corporate tax bill one they say would hit the top 200 hundreds of billions of dollars over the next next decade and helped save president biden special spending plan. >> we know that we are close to a deal being signed. and let mable explicitly clear, our footprint and fingerprint are on this deal. >> senior democrats from several congressional groups meet with president biden to shape a multitrillion dollars social spending plan. moderate democrats are also meeting with the president. >> i said mr. president, i don't know what happened this cannot happen. it's screwed up. he said i think joe is right on this. i think that was going to be gone. >> that is a provision give the internal revenue service details on bank accounts worth $600 or more. even after democrats raised that threshold to $10,000. another proposed revenue raiser the so-called billionaire's tax would largely hit billionaires increase in stocks before they even sale the assets, attacks on unrealized gain of value. >> they sit on piles and piles and piles of stock and other valuable assets for which they pay no taxes even as it grows. the idea there is a tax on those billionaires, just the billionaires. >> democrats are negotiating with themselves, trying to bring their social spending plan down from 3.5 trillion to about the $2 trillion range to attract the party's moderates while keeping the more liberal members on board. doing so, would also likely dislodge a stalled trillion dollars infrastructure plan, these trip trip unified republican on sis. session. we are surprised you are here today because we know all the news is being made on the other side as they wrestle with how they are going to put together this reckless tax and spending bill. >> earlier today senator manchin referenced what he called for last month that is a strategic pause in this type of spending, though as he has tried to significantly reduce the cost of the president's bill. bret? >> bret: you know, the head counting has been tough, rich, as this has evolved, the pay-fors. does this corporate minimum tax hike have enough support? >> yeah, this is something that's all been moving really in the last few minutes here. senator elizabeth warren has signaled that all 50 senate democrats are on board with this. this is something that would set a rate of 15%, a minimum for profits over $1 billion, senator warren, senator ron wyden, also senator angus king have released this plan just a short while ago. it hits companies that use deductions aggressively to pay lower tax rates, though the senators say it would also allow certain tax credits like for research development, clean energy, and the taxes that companies pay to foreign governments. bret? >> bret: okay. we will follow that rich, thank you. breaking tonight, a new development in the investigation of the origins of the trump-russia probe. the special prosecutor, john durham, plans to call a key player in the case against the former hillary clinton operative. correspondent david spunt has new details tonight. good evening, david. >> bret, good evening to you. federal prosecutors plan to directly test the credibility of michael sussmann an attorney once connected to the dnc and hillary clinton campaign by calling a former top fbi lawyer to testify. special counsel john durham says michael sussmann brought information to the fbi about an alleged server, the trump campaign used to communicate with the kremlin through a russian bank. information that just did not pan out. durham, still on the job, looking at the origins of the russia probe for the past two and a half years, charged sussmann with lying to the fbi. durham says that sussmann told former fbi counsel james baker he wasn't working for anyone when he was, in fact, working for the dnc and the hillary clinton presidential campaign when he delivered that information to the fbi. sussmann has pleaded not guilty. the government will call baker to testify. in a court filing last week, we have learned durham has compiled 6,000 documents about 81,000 pages, bret, and at least 15 subpoenas. durham's future as special counsel sounds safe this from attorney general merrick garland himself last week at oversight hearing in congress. i think can you readily assume that his budget has been approved. we don't normally make a statement about those things. >> you would know if he weren't continuing to do his work. >> a source close to michael sussmann tells fox news, he plans to fight and win this case. as for john durham, no comment. but will any more indictments be coming and will any involved top clinton campaign officials sources tell us durham has issued new subpoenas in recent weeks. bret, a sign he may be seeking to build a broader criminal case. bret? >> bret: we may hear more from the attorney general up on the hill tomorrow. david, thank you. record closes again today for the dow and the s&p 500. the industrial average gained 18. 16, sorry. the s&p 500 was up 8. the nasdaq rose 9. there are questions tonight about whether senate democrats will support president biden's nominee for a key regulatory post. sella is the pick for the office of comptroller of the currency. she has a history writing about marxism. calling the banking industry she would regulate in her potential new job, we paraphrase here, the quintessential a hole industry. and advocating for an end to banking as we know it by, quote, the complete migration demand deposit account to the federal reserve. the committee has several moderate democrats and members who are up for re-election next year. john test are of montana tells politico he has serious concerns about her. pintd's difficulties are not confined to domestic policies and politics. china is presenting major challenges for the administration in a number of different ways. correspondent mark meredith tells us why tonight from the white house. >> chinese president xi jinping will skip this week's g-20 summit in rome. white house officials insist china remains top of mind for president biden. >> in an era of intense competition between the u.s. and china intense diplomacy at the highest levels. leader level is vitally effective managing this relationship. >> that competition includes space. state media reports a newly launched satellite will help china identify space debris. experts fear it may have another mission, expanding china's ability to force down foreign satellites. gordon cheng is an author and expert on chinese tactic. >> this is real intent to make sure in the first moments of a war that they are able to destroy american and other satellites to lead china as the only country with eyes in space. >> on capitol hill, republicans are urging the administration to be more aggressive in challenging china on a wide range of issues from human rights to trade to defense. >> at a time when communist china is growing more aggressive, more bellicose and out innovating us in certain areas, this should be our wake-up call. instead, we are asleep at the wheel. >> researchers for the center for new american security deference think tank recently examined what would happen if china invaded islands off the taiwan knees mainland. they found quote few credible options for a u.s. response writing failure to prepare for the threat of incursion against taiwan knees territory grave risk to dough pacific security. today biden a shore up virtual summit of the association of southeast asian nations. also pledging up to $102 million to the region to assist with pandemic and environmental needs. >> bret: mark meredith at the briefing room. let's bring it in arkansas republican senator tom cotton. thanks for being here. >> thank you, bret. good to be back in studio first time in 18 months. >> bret: you heard that piece about china. have you spoken out about concerns about china's aggression. are we at a different level here now with china? >> i think china has taken president biden's measure and found it lacking. the president went to the united nations general assembly last week and gave a speech in which he refused to even say china's name. he said we don't seek a cold war, of course we don't. the united states would never seek a war of any kind hot or cold. if china is waging a cold war against us as they have by taking our jobs in factories the last 30 years, by conducting espionage throughout the united states, by rapidly building up their military to counteract ours in the pacific, our choice is not whether we seek it. our choice is whether we win it and right now i don't think joe biden is up to the task. >> bret: is china beating us on the technology military front right now? >> i would say they are rapidly closing the gap, bret. in some areas they may, in fact, reached parody. and security competition between nations is not like 100-meter dash. it's not enough to win just by a nose. because you elm boltedden aggressors like china to take a shot at the title. you want our military to be so strong, you want our intentions to preserve our national interest and international ability to be so clear that aggressive ares like the chinese communist party would never even consider taking a shot at the title. >> bret: people in taiwan watching this all very closely and the president was asked specifically about taiwan, take a listen. >> i don't want a cold war with china. i want to make china understand that we are not going to step back. we are not going to change any of our views. >> so are you sayings that the united states would come to taiwan's defense. >> yes. >> if they are attacked. >> yes we have a commitment to do that. >> president biden is deeply committed to the taiwan relations act. the united states will continue to assist taiwan in maintaining sufficient self-defense capability. there is no change in a policy. >> bret: essentially had to walk that back. and then you have the -- word game played out. "the washington post." the united states has very few credible options to respond if china were to seize a set of islands administered by taiwan in the south china sea under scoring the need for washington and taipei to build deterrence against limited chinese aggression according to the results of a war game conducted recently by foreign policy experts in washington and the asia pacific region standoff spotlighted the challenge commanders would face responding to incursion of the islands without provoking full blown war that walk back was essentially to say we're back to the policy that we had. but it sounds like it's a policy that's in jeopardy. >> bret, it was embarrassing walk back. what the president should do is make it clear that the united states will support taiwan if mainland china attacks taiwan. that war game is probably correct if china seizes those islands we have few credible options. that's why it's so important to establish the deterrent upfront that they don't seize the islands. we have several other steps we are going to take to support taiwan like helping them build up their cyber defenses and it reserve forces providing them with missiles and sea mines all of which would help deter invasion of taiwan. most importantly we need to make it clear that the united states will support democracy in taiwan and stand up to chinese attack. that's the simplest way to deter that attack from happening in the first place. >> bret: couple more foreign policy things. one is this administration wants to get back to the table with iran. your thoughts on that? >> well, i think the administration is not just trying to get to the table with iran, they have been trying to surrender for the last seven months to. in the meantime rapidly building up their nuclear capability while also continuing to support their proxies attacking the united states and their allies across the region. the time for diplomacy on the nuclear program has ended. iran is using diplomacy to build up nuclear program. we need to enforce all the sanctions that are in place. we need to impose new sanctions and we need to make clear that we will not tolerate the kind of attacks we saw last week on american base by iranian proxies. >> bret: what do you say to somebody who listens to you on china and iran and says listen i don't want to get into a word. >> bret, in have you actually seen the face of war and carry off battle buddies dover air force base when they died overseas you are the last one that wants to see war. the way of protecting peace in the words of washington is to be prepared for war and deter aggressors like the ayatollahs xi jinping in china. dough mess lick i some confidence that these bills are somehow going to get through and it's all going to come together republicans are pretty united in standing up against this. >> i would say the democrats seem to be in disarray but that would imply they were once in array on this. and that's because they don't have the votes to pass their bill because their bills are not popular. latest gambit include massive amnesty for millions of illegal aliens which would include welfare benefits and obamacare and housing aid and heating aid. and their argument is they can include those immigration measures in what is fundamentally a budget bill because they are is going to spend billions of dollars on illegal aliens. that's not a very popular position with the american people. that's why the democratic caucus up in the congress right now is a hot bed of cold feet on that issue and so many others. >> bret: but do you think that moderates are going to go for these tax pay-fors that are being structured kind of at the last minute? >> i don't know if they are going to be able to find the money to pay for this bill. i suspect in the end they would deficit finance. the main sticking points would be what this bill is going to spend the money on when you look at welfare for illegal aliens or welfare for households that don't have a single breadwinner. not even someone looking for work. not someone training for work which rolls back the accomplishments of the 1996 well fair bill that bill clinton and congressional republicans congressional republicans passed. those things are massively unpopular, very bad policy and going to cause a lot of democrats to balk at this bill. >> bret: a lot of political watchers say republicans are in a good position policy wise now heading into 2022. do you think former president trump is going to run for president? >> i don't know. i haven't speculated about what's going to happen in 2024. but i do agree that the critical election we face next year midterm election and most critical election we face new jersey and virginia governor's races. those races are very close. going to be an early bellwether and strong republican victory next year because of the massively unpopular democratic agenda going on across the street right now. >> bret: if he doesn't get, in will you consider. >> bret, i'm working right now for those races next week and the races next year. i'm not going to speculate about three races out from now. >> bret: figure we were in person give it a shot. senator, thank you. >> thank you. >> bret: bracing for another surge of illegal immigrants trying to cross the border. ♪ oh! are you using liberty mutual's coverage customizer tool?

>> this is a huge issue for the democrat party it's not as if people in the other countries don't read the newspapers and they will realize whatever effort here is made is a last ditch effort. i don't know what's going to happen i can tell you if something does pass not likely to be workable. look, this is a falling and failing presidency and the people in glasgow are going to know it. i mean, the polls are terrible for president biden and with good reason. look what's happening. outside the ocean long beach, the taiwan confusion, the border, i mean, how about this for science?
