what we do know is that everybody and his uncle is watching. the fallout not only for the economy but for wall street who had their second triple digit loss. nobody is pouncing on this and saying it's the end of the world but they're watching it closely. the pros respects for tax cuts say it looks okay. deidra bolton with more. >> the house passed a tax cut packages and 13 republicans voted no. there's vocal opponents which made indicate the senate will have a tough time as they try to pass their own version of a tax plan. they say the republicans have not done the best sales jobs. most americans think their taxes will go up. senator johnson against the senate proposal saying it helps big corporations at the expense of small businesses. under special budget rules, republicans with only afford to lose two votes in the senate assuming all democrats vote against the plan. democratic senator brown, republican senator orrin hatch had this fiery exchange earlier. >> i really resent anybody saying i'm doing this for the rich. give me a break. i think you guys overplay that all the time and it gets old. frankly, you ought to quit it. >> mr. chairman -- >> i'm not through. i get sick and tired of it. it's a nice political play. it's not true. >> with all due respect, i get -- >> regular order, mr. chairman. regular order. >> we do attack -- >> regular order. >> wait just a second. >> how many times do we do this -- >> all right. so no surprise there that democrats and republicans don't agree. as for timing, this is a wild card too. republicans want the senate bill to go to vote after thanking but before december 12 when there's a special election in alabama. it's possible, of course, the scandal surrounding candidate roy moore means that a current republican seat could be won by a democrat. that would change the senate vote math, back to you, neil. >> neil: which is why they're trying to get this done before. work with the exist-margin, which doesn't mean you have a win but less headaches. >> yeah. smaller risk in theory. >> neil: and lizzy is here with us and elisa. you first, lizzy. the class warfare arguing. you can look at this a number of ways. there's the idea between fake news and real news. when it comes to economic matters, it's not that black and white. you can make an argument that this tax cut is skewed to the rich and you can make the argument that how it rules out it's skewed to the middle and lower. we'll get into that in a second. it's safe to say not a single democrat will vote for this. what do you -- >> it's interesting. they will not vote for it. interestingly enough, back in 2012, president obama supported corporate tax cuts and reform. he said it was inefficient the way the system is and hurt small businesses and drives jobs overseas. i think you're right. i think when voter goes to the ballot box next year, if republicans don't get this there, there will be a backlash. you've seen it. voters are tired of being treated like a special interest when it comes to doubling the federal debt, nobody thought of taxpayers. now all the consideration is about the deficit when it comes to putting more money in their wallets. voters don't understand why that is so when it comes to them. they're treated like a special interest group when they shouldn't be. when you think about it, a third of senate seats are up in the air next year. something like 29 republicans in the house will be retiring. 11 democrats in the house will be retiring. the democrats just need 24 seats next year to win. >> yeah, the house could be where they make their gains. ev states where hillary clinton did well, i don't see one of them flipping here that could change. then you have to rely on your republican votes to stay in lock mass. there's signs that might not be the case. what could get them back together? >> a perfect bill, which is pretty near impossible. regardless how you cut this bill, somebody will be upset. the republican party is just so broad. a senator, susan collins, a senator ron johnson, probably don't agree on a lot of the bill and that's a problem. so they -- >> neil: they don't agree for different reasons. johnson on the business treatment and collins on throwing the healthcare thing into it and the individual mandate, right? >> that is true. so you can maneuver trying to help one but then you risk alienating the other. it's not like when we dealt with the obamacare repeal where there were things if you did for one person, it would immediately lose the other. but it definitely with something like senator susan collins who has not said no but has listed concerns. >> i'm sorry, neil. it's confusing why susan collins is now all for the mandate tax. if it was so great -- if obamacare was so great, why did seven million people decide to pay the mandate tax? it's a voluntary tax. what she's talking about is subsidies for medicaid and the obamacare exchanges in her home state. you know, the other thing that is surprising, too, i don't know if it gets enough coverage and you talked about it, neil, how democrats in year passed voted for tax cuts. you're talking john kerry, joe biden, al gore, ted kennedy voted nor the reagan tax cuts. they're in lock step right now. it's an unusual democrat party that they're not even contemplating tax reform. >> neil: you know, in the end what a lot of people agree on, we needed some corporate tax relief. i doubt president obama would have lowered the rates that we've seen. but that's the part where republicans are hoping you'll see almost immediate bang for their buck. i always wonder what if we don't? what if the companies pour it to their stocks or -- they're free to do whatever they want with the money. i know the effect that will have on the markets. be very appreciative. pension funds and the rest but it won't do what a lot of republicans hope it would do. would that backfire on them? >> of course that's a risk. we saw earlier this week there was a ceo council where a member of the trump administration asked, you know, raise your hands if these cuts will help you hire more people. not everyone raised their hands. so it is a risk but at the same time, do they just say we can't do this because not every ceo raised their hands or do they hope -- >> neil: a fair argument. >> they're like well, we should expand. >> neil: no, a fair argument. thank you both very much. meanwhile, there's a little drama on capitol hill with nothing to do with the tax cuts but controversial senators. john roberts on all of that. hey, john. >> good afternoon to you, neil. a big topic of conversation with the briefing with sarah huckabee sanders a short time ago. the president last night weighing in on the unfolding situation with senator al franken of minnesota in a couple of tweets saying the al frankenstein picture is bad. speaks a thousand words. where do his hands go in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 while she sleeps? talking about the photograph of al franken with leeann tweeden aboard the air force transport plane. the president saying last week he was lecturing anybody that he could get to listen about sexual harassment. and he told lesley stahl in the 90s, a joke skid about raping lesley stahl, which to many people wouldn't seem like a joke. the president weighing in on al franken. at the same time, not saying anything about roy moore for the past few days. drew some criticism. sarah huckabee sanders was asked about that earlier today at the briefing. listen to what she said. >> some critics have said it was hypocritical to between about al franken and not weigh-in on roy moore. >> he did weigh-in on robert mueller. he did it while he was in asia and i took 15 questions on that topic yesterday and one on al franken. so to suggest this president has not weighed in is wrong. he said if the allegations are true, he should step aside. it's simply inaccurate statement to make about the president. >> the president did talk about roy moore on board air force one from honolulu to japan saying in the allegations are true, that roy moore should step down. sarah huckabee sanders was also asked what is the difference between senator al franken who has had these accusations levelled with him and president trump who has had sexual allegations by 12 women. the difference she said is the president hasn't admitted to it and al franken has. the white house council don mcgann about to address the white house. the white house is coming out with a list of five more judges to add to the list of potential nominees for the next supreme court vacancy. that includes amy barrett. she was appointed earlier this year. rick grant, brett cavanaugh was a bush appointee in 2006 to the d.c. circuit court. kevin newsom who president trump appointed this week to atlanta's court of appeal and patrick wyrick who was an appointee to oklahoma. you're saying why is he adding to the list if there's no vacancy? the white house says after thanksgiving maybe justice kennedy could retire. now the list of nominees to replace the next nominee is up to 25 with these latest additions to the list. neil? >> neil: the president had to know he would be asked that question and people would raise their eyebrows given all the women that came out and questioned him, that it would look weird, him pointing fingers at al franken. >> right. you know, his reaction to roy moore was subdued. he didn't come out and proactively talk about roy moore. he waited until he was asked about it in a gaggle by reporters aboard air force one. but you know, barely hours after the franken stuff hit he's tweeting about it. there's a disconnect there. but the president has denied all of the allegations against him according to the president and sarah huckabee sanders. this was chewed over a lot on the campaign. so he feels that he has the moral high ground to go after al franken here. >> neil: thanks, john roberts at the white house. meantime, it's been more than a year now since the election, and sometimes it seems like hillary clinton is frozen in time here. she is still questioning the legitimacy of that election. just did so again. ♪ liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. and her new mobile wedding business.tte at first, getting paid was tough... until she got quickbooks. now she sends invoices, sees when they've been viewed and-ta-dah-paid twice as fast for free. visit quickbooks-dot-com. >> neil: well, it's enough to make republicans sick. a poll out that shows six in ten americans would blame them and president trump if there's problems with obamacare and going on out, if some of the problems that keep cropping are on them and not the democrats that created it. they're using that again on this idea of the individual mandate and if republicans do in fact nix it, which is a requirement for insurance, they're going to play that out as hurting the plan and hurting average americans and whatever the strategy, it's working. what do you make of that? >> repealing the individual mandate penalty, that's what it is, a penalty, is a no-brainer. you have 6.5 million filers that are getting clobbered with this penalty because they don't want to buy obamacare. according to the congressional budget office, if it's repealed, another three million people will happily stop buying obamacare because they don't have the gun pointed at their head anymore. >> neil: and premiums are going up, it's on republicans for doing it, which is why i suspect the senators are getting antsy and including it in the tax provision. >> they're more obsessed with optics than real numbers. they have an obligation to govern for the majority of people and the common good. the fact is that 80 times as many people will benefit from repealing the mandate as will be harmed. this is why. not only do you have the nine million people i just cited, but in addition, 35 million families will see their child tax credit doubled. that's the savings from repealing this mandate penalty will be used for. $338 billion will enable to senate to double the child tax credit from $1,000 to $2,000. this will benefit 35 million families. on the other side, there's only 80,000 people enrolled in obamacare that would have to pay the higher premium and not have the alternative of buying a non-obamacare be plan. only 80,000 that earn too much for the subsidy and have a pre-existing condition. >> neil: bottom line, if it's this issue or -- americans are blaming republicans for this. >> that's right. there's a difference, neil, between public opinion polls and the facts. look at the premiums. >> neil: so you don't buy the 60% figure? >> absolutely not. may be what is in the poll but it's not what is true. >> neil: no, no. you're right. a big difference. but if it can be sold as true and this is a reflection that people buy what they hear in the media and the media is voicing an image that republicans are screwing up what are you you going to do? >> the unfortunate thing that many members of the senate are cowed by the falsehoods being used to scare people from repealing the mandate. the fact is that it will benefit 80 times as many people, especially those americans that want to see their child tax credit double. >> neil: betsy, thanks very much. good knowing the numbers. the numbers behind them. all right. from betsy to rosy. rosy o'donnell? going after president trump, maybe that's one thing but steve scalise. really? your brain changes as you get older. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember. casual fridays at buckingham palace? alright, off you go. surprising. what's not surprising? how much money nathan saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. >> if you have to use curse words and name calling, you've lost the argument. be better for her to go back online and read the bill. if you read the bill, it's great for middle class families. >> neil: all right. i get some nasty tweets on this show. tempted i might be to respond in kind like when rosy o'donnell did with steve scalise and cursed him out to say the support of a tax cut didn't help him or anybody else, he responded by saying bless your heart. on and on we went. was he the classier guy in the argument and did he advance his own argument? mark lauder join us. sir, very good to have you. what did you think of this back and forth? >> i give representative scalise a lot of credit in taking the high road. who is rosy o'donnell anybody to call anybody a liar? she promised to move to canada if president trump got elected. she's still here. >> neil: i don't know why she targeted him. he has high approval ratings himself. if you want to go after someone, maybe go after the president or someone like that. but to go after scalise. i know she was responding to his media declarations and everything is going well. you wouldn't be surprised by his reaction. by to target him, wrong guy, you know. >> it's unfortunate. we've seen it so many times that the left just responds with personal attacks as opposed to actually having a discussion or representative scalise said this morning, maybe she should read the bill, understand how it it will provide $1,200 in tax cuts for the average middle class family and bring in jobs. >> neil: i notice this is part of a theme. we're more than a year removed from the election. rosy is angry. hillary clinton is still angry. she's still questioning the legitimacy of the election. john. where does this go? >> i think hillary's memory is starting to fail her. she was questioning last year whether then candidate trump would abide by the outcome of the election. here we are a year later and she continue get over the election results. the fact is, the american people wanted a president that would fight for them, fight for their jobs and take the fight to the enemies and the terrorists of our country. that's why president trump is in the white house. >> neil: do you find it surprising that the president got elected and his poll numbers would be so difficult over the years? that's what the democrats pounce on. they play off of that. are you surprised by that aspect? never mind that he got elected in the first place, which was historic, but he can't shake that? >> not really, neil. we've seen this before. president reagan was -- had lower approval ratings in january of 1983, went on to win 45 of 50 states. i worked for mayors and governors in indiana where i came from that did some difficult things that needed to be done. said they would shake up the status quo and people -- that gets under people's skin. when they see the results and the things that are happening, the good things, the poll numbers shoot back up. i'm sure that will happen with president trump as well. we're seeing with it the economy and the fight against isis. i'm sure as more of that gets to the american narrative, especially with tax cuts, you'll see the numbers improve. >> neil: thanks, mark. >> thanks, neil. >> neil: you know about the saudi princes sleeping on the floor at the ritz carlton. you know the prince behind that. right now it seems as things have sped up in the saudi kingdom. he's about to take or. what will happen to the sheiks? i think the sheik is about to hit the fan. ...we've helped our investors stay confident for over 75 years. call us or your advisor. t. rowe price. invest with confidence. >> neil: he's hispanic, a rock star and yet with the hispanic caucus he's not allowed in. why is that? he's allowed here. because he's here in the flesh to tell us. next. >> neil: there's a rumble in riyadh. the king of saudi arabia has all but set the stage for giving that kingdom to his son and a number of other sheiks are very upset. rich edson with the latest. hi, rich. >> good evening. all this as president trump is meeting with the secretary of state. the secretary has been in the united states for less than 24 hours. he returned after a two-week trip to asia. while he was there, plenty of events occurring elsewhere in the world especially the middle east and the saudi arabia. there's a report that king solomon will turn power over to his 32-year-old son, crown prince ben salmon. that's an unconfirmed report. the crown prince has been strengthening his position. he's arrested princes, billionaires, government officials in an anti corruption campaign. the saudi government says some of the officials are buying their freedom and surrendering assets in exchange for their relief. the "wall street journal" is reporting that authorities rounded up two dozen military officers, many senior. it's unclear if they've been rounded up for questioning or if they are under arrest or suspected of committing any crimes. the secretary of state did say last week that these arrests raise a few concerns, but he still wants to see how saudi authorities deal with this campaign. the government arrested more than 200 in its anti-corruption campaign, locking them in the ritz carlton in riyadh. the state department says the saudi get should pursue this with transparency and in accordance with their laws. neil? >> neil: thanks, rich. the fallout from this because this is revolutionary for that kingdom. mark green here with us now what is your sense of this and what happens now? you still have the sheiks staying under i guess ritz carlton house arrest, whatever you call it. what happened? >> thanks for having me, neil. whether this has a positive or negative impact on his modernization plans are still to be seen. his vision 2030 is a pretty ingenius and courageous effort. what he's done with the royal family, whether it's positive or negative, remains to be seen. >> the cynic in me wonders is all of this being used under the guise of freeing the kingdom and making it a democracy and progressive, leading the way towards women driving? that shocked me. i thought that was happening already. but i guess there's it's a big deal and great advancement. or is this a way of them finding a way to get rid of his enemies or at least sideline them? >> i his his intentions or for real reform. if you look at the plans he had with the economy and the conservative clerics, he's decreased the influence of those guys or wants to. i see a desire to do modernization. the opportunities that it creates with relationships to israel, there's a real opportunity here should he continue down the path. the real question is, will this create divisions that iran can seize an opportunity and continue to destabilize, that question still remains. >> neil: do you think that -- he has to decide something to do with these other sheiks and those that had interests in the past in the kingdom and invested mightily around the world. that once he gels them or worse, then it's going to get like egypt and then we don't know whose side we were rightly on? >> that certainly is something to watch very closely. he needs to move in accordance with the saudi laws. i feel confident that he will. >> neil: all right. we'll watch closely. mark green, flight surgeon, u.s. retired army, tennessee state senator. he has all the works. thanks very much. >> thanks for having me. >> neil: all right. what is that about you're not good enough for our club so we won't have you in? maybe that's why this guy's star is rising, a florida congressman whose captured the party's attention and apparently scared many with the hispanic caucus as he's done so after this. prudential asked these couples: how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. your body was made for better things than rheumatiod arthritis. before you and your rheumatologist move to another treatment, ask if xeljanz xr is right for you. xeljanz xr is a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe ra for whom methotrexate did not work well. it can reduce pain, swelling and further joint damage, even without methotrexate. xeljanz xr can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections, lymphoma and other cancers have happened. don't start xeljanz xr if you have an infection. tears in the stomach or intestines, low blood cell counts and higher liver tests and cholesterol levels have happened. your doctor should perform blood tests before you start and while taking xeljanz xr, and monitor certain liver tests. tell your doctor if you were in a region where fungal infections are common and if you have had tb, hepatitis b or c, or are prone to infections. xeljanz xr can reduce the symptoms of ra, even without methotrexate. ask your rheumatologist about xeljanz xr. >> you know how to say ways and means in spanish? [speaking spanish] ways and means. kevin brady. >> thanks, buddy. >> neil: that guy just could be a star. i'm not talking about an established star, kevin brady, the guy under heath, kevin curbelo. he represented the southern most of florida district. good to have you here. >> thanks for having me. >> you're a rock star in your party. >> that's generous. >> neil: you were persona nongrata in the hispanic caucus. >> yes, it's a shame. there's millions of hispanic republicans, millions of hispanic independents that i think should be represented in a caucus that claims to be bipartisan exempt for the fact that they won't allow any republicans on the caucus. >> neil: so there's no republican in the caucus? >> no. i tried to join. i was told i don't share their values. so apparently i'm not hispanic enough for them. >> neil: interesting. we did reach out to them. we have not heard back. one thing that does come up is the hispanic caucus itself supports a lot of things that you do not. so let's go through the thing that obviously is the most divisive. and that is on immigration. you're tough on that. explain. >> look, we have many disagreements. when i filed my letter asking to join, i said we're not going to agree on a lot of issues but we do agree on some. daca. the young adults brought to this country as children, some of them were babies. they don't even remember where they came from. >> neil: so you're not for kicking them out. >> on the contrary. i filed the first bill of this congress to give them permanent status in this country because most of these young adults are contributing, paying taxes, working, want to serve in the military. we should welcome them. why can't we work together to do that. >> neil: even with that they say no? >> even with that they were not interested. >> neil: what is it that republicans can offer hispanics? as a group -- not as monolithic vote that goes democratic as let's say african americans, but still hispanics by in large vote democratic. so what do republicans have to do what do you try to remind hispanics that the republicans are doing? >> the hispanic american families in south florida, in my district, the main reason a lot of them wanted to come to the united states and came here is because they wanted the opportunity to work hard to earn their success. i think the best thing that we can offer, not just hispanics, but all americans, is a growing, vibrant economy where every 1 has the opportunity to rise to achieve their success whatever that means. that's why this tax reform bill that we're working on is so important. a lot of hispanic families, not just hispanics, but american families, broadly speaking, feel like the economic recovery never reached their homes. like they have been left out of a lot of growth that we've seen since 2008-09. this tax reform bill is the opportunity to make sure that recovery reaches into every household in this country. >> neil: the florida press is presenting it like many in the press, as skewed to the rich. certainly not pro minority. so how do tell them? >> we expand the child tax credit for $1,000 to $1,600. we have a parent credit to strengthen families. for first time, with -- we have a credit for nonparent dependents. this tax reform project proposal is dedicated to strengthening american families and making them more prosperous. >> neil: there's a lot of hispanic voters. they're concerned about, you know, the deduction for state and local taxes going away. in the house plan, still have $10,000 for mortgage interest and the like but in the senate plan it's not there. i'm wonder if you're wondering and worrying that that could be a problem? >> selfishly i should not care about this issue. florida is a low tax state and that's why we have a strong economy there. but i'm concerned about people in new york and california. we need to do more to accommodate them in the tax plan proposal. >> neil: not even the $10,000? >> i do. i think there's a -- our chairman had a proposal for a flexible credit. >> neil: how do you think the senate is talking about the amandate? >> if it's done the way to helping the median families in the united states of america, that typical family of four, then i think it could be interesting. i think the senate wants to restore the medical expense deduction. something that i support. if those dollars are pumped into those ideas, i hit the -- >> neil: some senators are saying why are you throwing this in a mix? it was a third rail before. we perished on it. they're worried about it now. >> without question, it convolutes the process and i have some concerns about it. it's a tax bill -- >> neil: you think it will get done? >> yes. why? the american people need this. the american people need a future where every one has the chance to succeed, not just some. >> carlos curbelo, remember that name if you haven't already. republicans are showing him off. he's a dynamic guy. we have more coming up after this. the dow down on this day 100 points. maybe concerns building that if doesn't go through as planned after this. last thanksgiving about 2 million people tried to deep-fat fry their turkey. 15 succeeded in setting their houses on fire. at christmas, there was a lot of driving over the river and through the woods and a little bit of skidding on the ice and taking out grandma's garage door. so while you're celebrating, allstate will be standing by. trouble never takes a holiday. neither should your insurance. that's allstate's stand. are you in good hands? ♪ >> neil: a couple of these guys have not slept for the better part of 24 hours. it will be like jerry lewis at the end of the telephone. welcome back. for we have jesse webber here with you. last but not less, lauren simonetti, fox business star. jesse, want this one one. americans will avoid talking politics for the holidays. i thought we got over this last year with the trump thing. apparently not. is this a good idea? this is a joke, right? >> amazing. >> you think somebody won't talk about politics? it's in every debate, every subject. politics come in. you believe not one person will do a trump impression at family didn'ter? >> mashed potatoes. >> yeah. >> the great thing about it in this country, you can have family members that believe one thing, kids believing another thing. everybody comes together on thanksgiving. will they talk about it? of course. >> neil: some families have a stipulation. >> they know what you're political views are. so the thing about family, the dynamic is since you guys know about it, growing up together, it has to be no pleasant tries. >> neil: it happens with inlaws. it's the mixing of the families. >> that's true. a good point. even if you and your family all agree on one political issue, the marriage comes into play and then, you know -- >> or married in. >> the alcohol. >> what we're talking about, a poll that said that most people will avoid politics. >> neil: they'll have those guidelines going in. no politics. >> another poll says that people would rather talk about their personal finances than politics over thanksgiving, which means that people would rather face personal judgment among family members than talk about tax reform -- >> politics is in personal finances, all goes together. especially with the tax stuff, you can't talk about finances and not talk about politics. >> neil: the more you avoid it, the more it comes up. doesn't -- >> it's going back years like that's the gentlemanly or proper way to not talk about religion or politics. >> what is there? a referee? that's outside the boundaries. >> yeah. whoever -- >> let me switch gears a little. do any of you have kids? >> i think i'm the oldest one here. >> so the reason why i mentioned this. california's proposal if you don't have kids, you don't pay school taxes. simple as that. >> i love it. i don't think it's going to work. when we looked for a house a couple year before we had kids, we said we're going to pay all of these taxes but we're not using the schools? we have a kid but we're not using the schools? i don't think this will fly. what happens if you have the high taxes and you put your kids in private school? do you get money back? you save? i don't see how it works. >> paying into that if you have a good school system, it helps, you know, people who are single or without kids versus those that is many. >> i'm fine paying to education even though i don't have children. i think that people have to pay some sort of taxes in order for this country to function. might not necessarily benefit them personally. what i don't like -- >> neil: improves the value of your home where you are. >> yeah. absolutely. what i'm concerned -- taxes for education benefit the greater good of children in the country. what i take issue with is when the government spends money in stupid ways. you know -- >> there's no regulation or follow where it goes. i live in westchester. we get a star credit if you own a home and you make under a certain amount. i don't see why california can't do the same. >> neil: it's a proposal. i doubt -- you're a lawyer. would that pass? >> here's the problem in principle. i don't have kids. i don't what to pay this. the problem is, where is the government going to recoop the expenses? >> neil: and if you have kids, do you still pay?
