Chance to be briefed by the u. S. Pacific command and made his way over to the Pearl Harbor Memorial with the first lady. It will be interesting to see what that conversation was like after they had a chance to sort of absorb all that. Now, at the top of the agenda, of course, is lots that the president is going to try to get done here as he makes his way through asia. A number of important stops along the way and north korea and the threats theyre posing, and south korea. The president will be in search of a united front before going to china where hell try to get president xi to get together on pyongyang. Ivanka trump batting leadoff, giving a speech in tokyo on friday before having dinner with the Prime Minister of this country shinzo abe. Thats before the president s visit and the stops wont overlap, but white house officials acknowledge that hers is a value added element to the trip especially as she keeps the focus on women in business. Now, elizabeth. You made an important point, the president will be talking a lot about north korea while hes here and going to try to keep the focus on trade as well. Its an important element to the stop here. As he meets with the Prime Minister of japan, shinzo abe, theyll have talk and working lunch and as customary between two friends, they are going to get in a bit of golf. I should point out the president is expected to meet with some japanese nationals who actually have relatives that were kidnapped by the north koreans. Just another example of the devastation and the devastating treatment that this country, talking about north korea, has wreaked upon many of the neighbors here. The president is expect today leave hawaii in about an hour,
ill have the details. Back to you. Elizabeth kevin, thank you so much. Leland the president heads overseas, vicepresident mike pence speaking in pennsylvania today to push tax reform. The white house and other Top Republican officials are making their sales pitch for this major tax overhaul. They have promised to get their tax cuts through congress. And to the president s desk by christmas. And garrett joining us now, we saw what happened to the deadline on health care, it slipped, it slipped, it slipped. Any reason to think that tax reform is actually going to make it by this deadline . Were hearing a lot of things with health care. This is the deadline, were going to get it, we feel optimistic and positive, but similar to health care you have a lot of outside groups coming in and thats starting to happen with tax reform as well. Its important to remember, even if it happens by christmas, americans will still have to wait a whole other year before the changes actually take effect and at this point, its still too early to even say exactly what many of those changes will look like. Here is a bit of what republicans laid out in their tax bill on thursday and how it impacts you at home. We go from seven Tack Brackets to five, highest 39. 6 . Child tax credit increases from 1,000 to 1600. The rule for 401 k contributions stay the same. And limits the state and local Tax Deduction and Mortgage Interest at 500,000. And the last two are receiving pushback from House Republicans representing states with high taxes and more expensive real estate, such as new york and california. Democrats are slamming the plan as a whole in one of the biggest arguments youll hear both sides making in the weeks ahead, how this plan will affect the middle class. Where are the republicans values . Where is the administrations commitment to the forgotten men and women of our country . They promise no more politics as
usual as this is a slap in the face that leaves people feeling betrayed. Issues like weve had today where the democrats are coming out and saying this is a tax increase to middle class americans, thats just not correct. As people understand the facts, this is really what were focused on is something good for the middle class, good for jobs, making business competitive. In terms of what the road ahead looks like before getting tax reform done by the end of the year. The house starts to plan marking up the tax bill on monday and from there, g. O. P. Leaders hope to have it passed and sent over to the senate by thanksgiving. Once that happens, the senate plans to release its own version of the bill and hope to get it passed and on the president s desk in a few weeks before christmas. There will be pressure from outside groups until then particularly in the senate where theres a two seat majority. Weve seen the groups that
come out against it and they have members that try to exert pressure. And some of those theyll try to exert pressure on congressman david schweiker. Congressman, nice to see you, sir. Its stunning to me when you listen to the secretary, who we just heard from, and then one of the democratic congresswoman who we just heard from looking at the very same bill and saying and seeing such vastly different things. There are opinions and there are facts here. Whats negotiable in this bill for republicans to try and come a little bit closer, even within your own caucus . Oh, leland, its look, the number of moving parts. This is a full employment act, also, at least for a little while for the lobbyist community. Some of the deduction that are
going away and a lot of lobbyists made a living on those deductions. A lot of friends on my left are terrified of the republicans having a pretty big victory of delivering these Tax Reductions and something that expands the economy. So, theres a lot of push, theres the political side. Theres the Business Community where its always trying to push each other for in youre making the point that the democrats are sounding the alarm bells. Take a listen to chuck schumer. This plan is a tax burden that ought to be on the backs of the wealthy and the biggest corporations, but instead, it drops it squarely on the backs of the middle class. Youre a big corporation, youre a wealthy individual, you do great. Youre a middle class person, you suffer. So thats the Talking Point that being used. Now, im going to give you some of the facts that democrats are
using to back it up. How do republicans justify eliminating Tax Deductions for teachers who buy materials for their classroom out of their own pocket and keeping the carried Interest Deduction for Hedge Fund Managers . Forget whether its a good idea or a bad idea, how are you going to deal with those obstacles . Yeah, well, firstoff when you take a look. When the Washington Post is giving the democrats, the left, four pinochios for some of the crazy things theyve been saying, you know the world is congressman. No, no, leland, leland, let me give you your teachers. Leland go ahead. I want to get exactly to your question. When you double the standard deduction, so you do not begin paying taxes if youre a couple for 24,000 and then the lower rate, youve actually created so much more cash. The average family is like 1200
of less in tax burden. Thats actually much more elegant than trying to Play The Game where we put a deduction for this and a special carve out for this and that, and thats the perversity of our modern tax system. Were doing something so much simpler and fairer. Leland congressman, nobody is going to argue that the tax code is complex and needs to be reformed. From a optics issue, an abc poll, 67 of americans say this tax cut is going to benefit the rich. Whether theyre right or not, thats how theyre seeing it. My question is how are republicans going to convince the American People that this is the right thing when there are these other Talking Points that the democrats have been able to bring, whether its the issue of the tax credit for teachers. Whether it be Something LikeProperty Taxes . Its a brilliant its a brilliant question because lets face it, a lot of us, particularly those on the
ways and Means Committee we get behind the camera and sound like accountants and c. P. A. s and democrats talk emotions. Im hoping at some point we hold up the chart and the math speaks for itself. When youre able to stand in front of a family and say, its 1200 less in taxes. David ive only got about 30 seconds. Very quickly, a couple of things, what else is negotiable here . Is the carried Interest Deduction negotiable . Is there a possibility of a larger deduction for Property Taxes or state and local taxes . Are you willing to deal on this to get yourself over the hurdle . This is more than dealing, we have constraints. The senate have given us such tight constraints with the rules and amount of dollars. Every time we move something, it cascades and blows up something else. So were walking a very fine line. Leland perhaps the first time this could be considered a
tighten restraint. Thank you for being with us. Thanks. Leland as you could probably tell from that interview there will be a lot more to discuss on tax reform and who better to do it than House Speaker paul ryan who joins Chris Wallace tomorrow for an exclusive Fox News Sunday interview. A lot of news of in in that interview, check out your local listing for time and chabl. Another exclusive interview, vicepresident mike pence who is on the road today selling the tax plan, sits down with Maria Bartiromo to discuss the impact of the tax plan. Thats 10 a. M. Eastern here on the fox news channel. Elizabeth former acting dnc chairwoman Donna Brazile claims that President Trump is not representing her statements. Hey, liz, Donna Brazile, the
elizabeth for more, lets bring in the white houserator, sarah, thank you for joining us. I wants your take on this. What is your reaction to this when you first read this. Were you surprised . Some were surprised and some werent. There was a perception that the primary was rigged in favor of Hillary Clinton. We had evidence around the time of the Convention Last year that that was the case, that the dnc had a clear preference of clinton over sanders. And when wikileaks came out they reinforced suspicions that were already there. And thats the case with the brazile revelation, that that kind of i think this was going on behind the scenes, but we didnt have documented evidence that it took place. Elizabeth we may not have been totally surprised, but surprised on the source and who it was coming from. I want to ask why her perception was owe important, if you look
at, i want a tweet up. She writes the Dnc Needs Real Reforms for the real people and takes it back from special interests and were you surprised by the source and b, what does it mean for 2018 and who will emerge for 2020. Its one thing for President Trump and republicans to criticize the democratic process. Its different for the former head of the dnc to come out and admit that the operation she ran was corrupt, that the operation she ran was slanted in favor of Hillary Clinton. I mean, that is the source of it, gives it more credibility than if it comes from a republican. Some democrats think its healthy to reflect on what went wrong in 2018 for the institutional failures and that thats the only way to address them headed into 2018 and they

Tens of thousands of runners and perhaps millions of spectators will face some of the tightest security ever. For this years new york city marathon, kicking off tomorrow. Tuesday, deadly Terror Attack, along a manhattan bike path, forcing the n. Y. P. D. To rethink the Security Plan just in the past couple of days. Bryan llenas live from new york as some of the preparations continue even now. Hi, bryan. Good afternoon, leland, well, look, some of those enhanced Security Measures taking place around the city are these concrete barriers that are placed along the bike path here on the west side of manhattan. And the concrete barriers raise to this size to 20foot highway barriers. Were at the intersection where
the terrorist drove into the bike path killing eight people and you can see the concrete barriers there. For tomorrows new york city marathon, theyve enhanced security across the board and adding sand trucks and socalled Blocker Vehicles to protect spectators and pedestrians from possible vehicular attack. Weve more than doubled our observation teams. Our Observation Posts and counter sniper teams, and its not just here in manhattan and weve added more heavy weapons teams. Now, as the Investigation Continues into this attack, so, too, does the mourning and remembrance of those eight killed on tuesday. Behind me, a memorial where this attack began. And darin drake as you see there is one of two americans killed in this attack. His wake is later today. Five of the eight killed were friends visiting from argentina for their 30year high school
reunion at the argentine consulate in new york yesterday surviving friends called for justice and love to unite us all. The victims were bicycling together as they were struck. And the phone and online contacts, isis claimed responsibility for the attacks. And authorities believe that Sayfullo Saipov acted alone. Theyve spoken to neighbors at his apartment complex, that he was seen with other men prior to the attack and his wife has been cooperating with the fbi and she says they didnt know about it beforehand. And they reported an uzbek friend called before the attack, he has not been called a suspect. And of the eight killed, there were also 12 injured, including a belgian woman, somebody who was rode her bike around the world for charity. She had the worst of the injuries. Both of her legs were amputated. Her husband and 16yearold son were also injured. Leland. Leland bryan, real quick before you go. Obviously, after every attack, we learn something now and police changed things and you point out the barricades there. Any special precautions in the wake of the Las Vegas Shooting that new york police point to . Yes, well, in the wake of the Las Vegas Shooting, they had also done precautions. We were live in times square. In the Vegas Shooting the concern was building, high rise buildings along populated areas. After Vegas Shooting they thought it was just balcony and now hotels with clear eyesight to times square are of concern. They want to reiterate the precautions with the hotel staff. 57,000 workers around the city have been working with the n. Y. P. D. To spot suspicious activity, to be the eyes on the
ground. Thats what they were saying, if you see something, Say Something and the first line of defense are Hotel Workers with clear eyesight to the areas. The n. Y. P. D. Always adding and enhancing depending on the security worldwide. Leland all right, bryan llenas on the ground in new york. Thank you. Much more to come on the Terror Investigation in new york that bryan talked about. Terrorism expert robin simcox joining us later this hour to discuss the best way to prevent another attack happening on the ground and the conversation is not if, but when.
