They want to see major reductions in their taxes and they want to see tax reform. Thats what were doing. Melissa chief White House Correspondent john roberts is live from the north lawn with more on this one. What do we expect, john . Good morning. Very often big rig trucks are used as a security screen at Outdoor Events the president attends but the president is trying to make it difficult for members of congress, particularly members of congress on the democratic side up for reelection in 2018, difficult to say no to him. He has the speech in harrisburg later on today scheduled for 5 45. He will speak predominantly to a group of truckers and owners of Trucking Companies saying that they will benefit from the president s tax plan and in the speech he will say nothing gets done in america without the hard working men and women of the Trucking Industry. When your trucks are moving, america is growing and why my administration is removing the barriers that slow you down. American first means putting american truckers first. The former chief executive of Cke Restaurants and onetime nominee for labor secretary explained how the plan will benefit truckers. It is great for small businesses, the lower tax rate for passthrough entities like the Trucking Companies he will talk to today. When they are paying taxes, they are paying this higher individual rate. They will be able to pay 25 , which would be great for growth. They can buy more trucks, invest, hire people. It is an excellent tax plan. The president also for the first time today will make an estimate on what repatriating corporate funds overseas will mean for taxpayers. He will say today we will impose a onetime low tax for money overseas so it can be brought back home to america where it belongs. We estimate this change alone would likely give the typical American Household a 4,000 pay raise. In addition to tax reform and tax cuts there are other things on the president s mind including the nfl letter to owners and chief executives of the teams. Roger goodell saying he wants players to stands up for the national anthem. The president tweeting this morning, quote, it is about time that Roger Goodell is finally demanding all players stand for the national anthem. Respect for our country and going off on a story on nbc news he wanted a 10fold increase in the nuclear arsenal. Fake nbc news made up a story that i wanted a 10fold increase in our nuclear arsenal. In addition to all of that the president will be meeting with the Prime Minister of canada, justin trudeau. Nafta and a huge duty against new canada regional jets. Melissa did you say Prime Minister mcdreamy . Yes, ask any woman in america. Theyll tell you. Melissa would you. You may have stepped wow. You may have stepped in it there. I dont know if i call him mr. Mcdreamy. Come talk to some staffers at the white house. Theyll disagree with you. Jon President Trump pushing his message on twitter this morning ahead of his big speech this evening. He tweeted the stock market as increased by 5. 2 trillion dollars, a 25 increase. Lowest unemployment in 16 years and if Congress Gives us the massive tax cuts and reform im asking for, those numbers will grow by leaps and bounds maga. You know what that means. Jake sherman from politico. Interesting he is really pitching this to the Trucking Industry tonight, jake, why . I think he wants to make the case at this point it is going to be a tax cut for middle income americans, a tax cut for small businesses. That doesnt paper over some of the issues he has on capitol hill. Number one he started a massive fight with bob corker who is a critical vote on the budget and a critical vote for tax reform or against tax reform. He has a number of other senators he needs to win over on this proposal but listen. Every president tries to build support from the outside. President obama did it. President trump is doing it. It doesnt replace personal relationships that you need to have on capitol hill with individual lawmakers. Jon interesting as you talk about his relationships in the senate. He pitched his tax plan in missouri, indiana, north dakota, all of those states that have potentially vulnerable Democratic Senators up for reelection. Bob casey of pennsylvania also up for reelection and the president just happens to be going to pennsylvania tonight. What about that . Listen, there is no lets be clear here. If the president plays his cards right on capitol hill and gets a tax plan that republicans can rally on and that does not drastically cut taxes for the upper income americans, millionaires and higher he could get some democrats to rally around him. At the end of the day close to an election year, if you say this is a tax bill that will cut taxes for a lot of americans, it can be difficult if it doesnt lower taxes for rich people, it is hard to vote against it. Either youre for tax cuts or not. Thats what republicans think the dynamics will be if the president plays his cards right and if he continues to anger and browbeat republican senators and members of the house this isnt a discussion worth having because it wont get through. Jon it proposes lowering the top rate from 39. 6 to 35 with the caveat, as we understand it, that congress can set a higher level for upper income earners. Is that enough to quell any disagreements or any qualms among democrats . I once thought it would be unthinkable they would put an upper rate for millionaires and higher. I do think thats a likely scenario at this point. Its a great talking point for republicans if they do set a higher rate for super rich, super healthy americans. It helps make the case for republicans this is a middle class tax cut, not cutting taxes for the wealthy. There is a political really narrow political road to travel here and well see if the president can do it. Jon when i listen to my friends on fox business network, Melissa Francis among them, they say that part of the reason the stock market is where it is with this 5 trillion of additional value created since the election because the folks on wall street are expecting tax reform will go through. What happens if this all blows up . As i talk to people that i know on wall street i tell them they have a rational exuberance it will be an easy thing to do. Partially the white house and Congressional Republicans have set expectations this will get done by the end of the year. Im not a market expert. We have to kick it over to fox business to that. Markets look forward and look at whats happening in the future and but they often dont take cues from what has happened in the past. Ive been covering congress for a decade and seen them squirm around on a lot easier things like repealing healthcare. Count me as skeptical. There is a path for the president to go on here. Jon skeptical jake sherman from politicos playbook. See you soon. Melissa so more actresss are coming forward to say hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein sexually harassed them over the course of several decades. Now his wife says she is leaving him. The allegations have been pouring in since they first surfaced in a New York Times article almost a week ago. I do not think that Harvey Weinstein understands or comprehends how much pain and suffering this brings to me and scores of other women. I implore other women to please stand up and to come forward. I know there are many women who have experienced just what ive experienced. Let us be the change we want to see in this world. Melissa Jonathan Hunt is live in los angeles. The story just keeps getting bigger, jonathan. Yeah, melissa, this morning Harvey Weinstein is reportedly in europe as a rehab center for sexual addiction as his former friends continue to desert him amid abuse allegations. Hillary clinton says she is appalled and the obamas also have spoken up. A whos who of hollywood who revered or feared Harvey Weinstein is condemning him. Many actors and actresses are expressing horror at what he did. Paltrow and jolie saying they were both victims of weinsteins predatory ways and weinsteins wife of 10 years has announced she plans to divorce him. She says, quote, my heart breaks for all the women who have suffered tremendous pain because of these unforgivable actions. I have chosen to leave my husband, caring for my Young Children is my First Priority and i ask the media for privacy at this time. Now, Harvey Weinstein is reportedly complaining his brother, bob, was instrumental in making the lurid allegations public. Bob weinstein says harvey is a very sick man. Harvey weinstein hasnt made any public statements since last week. Weve reached out repeatedly to the p. R. Firm and representative Sally Hoff Meister who is supposed to be speaking for Harvey Weinstein. Neither she nor the Company Appears willing to speak to us at this point. Melissa. Melissa wow, thank you for that report. Jon it looks like President Trump is going to decertify the iran nuclear deal. Does that mean the u. S. Will withdraw from the agreement . Clear majorities on this committee and in the house opposed the nuclear deal. Ultimately, however, the Obama Administration rammed it through anyway. I can do more to lower my a1c. And i can do it with whats already within me. Because my body can still make its own insulin. And onceweekly trulicity activates my body to release it. Trulicity is not insulin. It comes in a onceweekly, truly easytouse pen. It works 24 7, and you dont have to see or handle a needle. Trulicity is a onceweekly injectable medicine to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. It should not be the first medicine to treat diabetes or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. Do not take trulicity if you have a personal or Family History of medullary thyroid cancer, if you have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if youre allergic to trulicity. Stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or symptoms like itching, rash, or trouble breathing. Serious side effects may include pancreatitis. Taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases your risk for low blood sugar. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, decreased appetite, and indigestion. Some side effects can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. I choose onceweekly trulicity to activate my within. If you need help lowering your a1c and blood sugar, activate your within. Ask your doctor about onceweekly trulicity. Jon right now new information on some crime stories were watching. Opening statements in the trial of a mississippi man charged with murdering a 19yearold cheerleader. He is accused of burning her alive in her car. He claims he thought she was already dead when he set the car on fire. An oregon man held without bail in a drunk driving accident that killed a 25yearold woman and her four Young Children. His blood alcohol level almost four times the legal limit. New york, a drug lord gets 14 years in prison for running a 50 million operation out of his apartment. He is notorious for sending his son to a Mexican Cartel as collateral for a drug deal. Melissa breaking this hour President Trump has been signaling his plans to decertify the iran nuclear deal. Gop leadership is blasting tehran for violations of the agreement expanding Irans Nuclear capabilities beyond its domestic needs. Irans continued pursuit of Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles funded by the cash it received when sanctions were lifted is telling. No country has run such an expensive program without also seeking Nuclear Warheads to go on top. These missiles are designed to hit us. Melissa joining me now is the former senior director of middle Eastern Affairs with the National Security council and managing director of the washington institute. Sir, thank you for joining me. There is an explosive report that is coming out today. It is 52 pages long and our own holly mckay got an exclusive look at it called Irans Nuclear core, unsuspected military sites and they say the more they investigated, the more they realized the weaponization program is fully operational. They already have a weapon. What do you think about that . Well, i think that report is at odds with the findings of our intelligence community. I think you have to take it with a bit of a grain of salt. The real issue, melissa, is that iran has said that it wont allow inspections at these Nuclear Sites and the prohibitions on irans Weaponization Research contained in the Nuclear Agreement arent subject to monitoring or verification. It is details like this and flaws like this in the deal that we may see the Trump Administration trying to correct in the days ahead. Melissa thats what this group says is that those sites that you are talking about that arent open to inspection, that things have been moved around, that there are silos that they are totally not monitored. And that their Domestic Program has just been a front for their military program. As they looked at the movement and the development they can tell they are already there. Without maybe at odds with our government is saying because they dont want to call it a missile until theyve seen it but they cant get in to investigate. The International Community cant. It is hard to comment on the veracity of the report. It is hard to know what intelligence our own government may have. I have think the point is, melissa, if were to know whether these types of allegations true or false we need to have transparency, we need to have, i think, a tighter inspection regime than we currently have. As we think about the way forward with the iran Nuclear Agreement, i think this demonstrates there are concrete ways to strengthen it that would give us more confidence that iran isnt pursuing a clandestine program. Melissa along those lines, ed royce didnt think necessarily that decertifying. I would figure out how to get the buyin in order to get into the military bases. I would keep the existing agreement and add to it. I think thats the better approach in order to address these concerns we have because that keeps the europeans on board working with us. And thats ultimately the goal. Melissa the fact of the matter is when president obama sold this agreement, he said there were any time anywhere inspections and snap back sanctions. We never saw those things and we definitely never saw any time anywhere inspections. Is there any way theyll agree to that . If President Trump decertifys, its a strong signal he is dissatisfied with the agreement and doesnt think its accomplishing the objectives it set out to accomplish. I think that probably it will be an effort to gain leverage by creating the possibility of the u. S. Withdrawing to get the others to agree to not only enforce it better as congressman royce was suggesting and to address irans Missile Program key to developing a Nuclear Weapon or their support for terrorism in the middle east. Melissa absolutely. All right. We will watch and see because it is certainly a very scary and important issue. Thank you for coming on. Jon it is almost halloween, of course, you can expect spooky things all around. But one 3yearold has been really spooked and not in a fun way. Also California Wineries decimated by the out of control wildfires. Were live in napa. Raising the tragic event but we were all able to get out. Were back here today for the first time. To see what was left, if anything. Really it is just as you can see, devastation, there is nothing left. Jon its one thing when you are 3 years old to get lost at the mall but imagine the horror of getting left behind in a corn maze. Thats what happened to a toddler who was found cold and in tears at the edge of an 8 acre maze in utah. It took 12 hours for his parents to go looking for him. Police, as you might expect, are investigating. Sunday night we were awoken to a red glow coming out of the north and had just minutes to actually get out of the house, wake our kids up. Called our neighbor, woke her up and it was just a mad dash. It was chaos. Melissa fast moving wildfires in californias wine country have taken at least 17 lives and destroyed thousands of homes and offices and stores. Leaving the area covered in ash and debris. Hillary vaughn is live now with more. Youre in front of a winery that has been reduced to rubble. Wow, look at that. Melissa, this is a snapshot of some of the carnage that has been left belined by these fires whipping through napa valley taking out businesses, homes, wineries, fields of plants in its path. You can see over here the field is black after it was the path of the fire tore through here. Some of it in places still smoldering and behind me this was a tasting room where a lot of people stopped to enjoy wine. This has
