yes! yes, indeed. amazing speed, coverage and control. all with an xfi gateway. find your awesome, and change the way you wifi. basically what everybody's been waiting for now for weeks. there's a final bill, there will be no changes. >> i think that we will be in a position to pass something as early as next week. >> for the country as a whole it's going to be a good thing. >> sources tell us that the president's lawyers are planning to meet with special counsel robert mueller and his team. >> when bob mueller picked his fishing in the trump aquarium. >> when you look at what's going

on, people are very, very angry. >> he is way beyond the pale of his criticism of the fbi and the doj. >> united states will use all necessary measures to defend itself against north korean aggression. >> the united states must protect itself if there's an immediate threat against our security. . >> this is "new day" weekend with victor blackwell and christie paul. >> after months of negotiations the republican party has reached a deal on tax reform. >> the key vote set to happen on tuesday and if it passes it is going to be president's first legislative achievement just in time for christmas as he promised. >> within the last 12 hours senate leaders with able to win over the holdouts but it is not a done deal.

>> three senators have yet to say y. etwo other snapt torenat battling with health issues. republicans cannot afford to lose more two votes. that's what it's up to. two votes. so we do know this morning the final details. what does this mean for me? cnn congressional correspondent explains it to us. >> reporter: well, the 503 page, $1.5 trillion republican tax plan, it's out officially. republican lawmakers can now read the thing they're going to vote on as soon as tuesday next week. the key provisions, we've known a lot of them, the corporate rate developing. the child tax credit boosted to $2,000. a lot of things that republicans said would be crucial not only to economic growth but also as they say, helping middle class families. some say this is far too tilted

to the corporate side. here's the rub. republicans both like this plan and at this point want to vote for this plan. take a listen to house ways and means commission. >> we took the best of both ideas and in many cases because we had a deliberate timetable. we had announced half a year ago to get this to the president's desk. we took the text that was closest to where we thought we would end and from that standpoint it's sorts a sort of between the house and snootenat. >> rubio came out as a firm no. intermike lee, not a full yes,

yet. and senator bob corker who was a no the first time around, he became a yes even though no major changes were made to get his vote. that gives republicans in the senate a lot of breathing room. senator john mccain, the reality is, at this point in the senate, they can actually not have those senators attend and have this pass. on tuesday of next week, the house will vote on this plan. shortly thereafter the president will have the first overhaul of the u.s. tax code on his desk by wednesday. thank you very much. let's talk now to opolitical anchor for speck rum news is with us as well as editorial

examiner. >> we know that we have two senators with health concerns. also three others with at least undeclared on this bill. do they have the votes? >> my opinion is that they do. senator collins has been sounding very friendly as if she's ready to sign this bill. the momentum itself starts to tell the story. unless they have companion pelli -- compelling reason, these are not those to stop this to get one or two provisions changed. >> all right. let me broaden this out to an editorial yal perspective. what's the verdict on what this means for the president. big legislative win. >> it's a huge legislative win.

obviously very early in his administration, he got a nomination to the supreme court. he's just -- his deregulation program has culminated just recently in changes to net neutrality and the roll back of net neutrality. he's heading into christmas with a great deal of momentum and this tax bill is a huge win for him and for republicans on the capitol. >> i want to switch gears to something else that the washington post is porting is this list of seven terms that are forbidden in their request for the budget next year. the centers for disease control and prevention. let me read off the words that have been banned for any requests coming to the administration. vulnerable, entitlement, diversity, transgender, fee cuss, evidence based and science based. is this something that we've seen before? >> no, i certainly haven't outside of fiction.

there's a wonderful line from 1984, the novel about a distoepian future that has somebody saying it's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words, you know, and it gets into what i think is going to cause a lot of discussion here, which is, what kind of power play is involved in trying to abolish a word or sort of take it out of circulation? the reality is, however, there are about 12,000 workers at the centers for disease control. many are sacientists. they are not going to take this lightly. there's research going on for example on the effect of the zika virus on fetuses. it's really important. it's literally life and death. those folks are not going to sort of change their research, change their discussions, tiptoe around these kind of politically loaded terms. i would expect this to get rolled back in short order.

>> here's the suggested replacement for evidence based and science based. let's put it up on the screen. cdc bases its recommendations on science in consideration with community standards and wishes. wishes are not a replacement for science based. i get the political angle of six of these words, evidence daised, science based, thank gender, fetus, but vulnerable. if you want to take a population that they're not a priority, take the characterization of him out of your budget dockets. >> i don't know about vulnerable. i think some of these are more understandable than others. i mean, for example, entitlement. that's a very interesting one because both the president and the republicans at the capitol have indicated one the tax reform has gone through the next look is going to be at

entitlement reform. and the word entitlement means it's something to which people have a right and one of the things they want to do is stop calling them entitlements and calling them benefits. >> i get that one, but vulnerable? >> i don't know who that applies to. it may be that they don't want to refer to vulnerable communities or some such phrasing which bakes in some certain policied wherey ideas. transgender, there are those that say that transgender is a kind of left wing phrasing for something which is ak sloctuall psychological problem. it may well be that the dfw airport -- errol was right when he referred to 1984 and the

power of words. language changes all the time and we are constantly obliged to change the phrases we use. probably what you're seeing here is the administration saying right, stop here. we're not going to have these words which imply certain policy prescriptions and attitudes which are from the left. we're going to have those force our hand on policy. >> most of the words i understand. you can understand or hear at least the argument for or against these terms. vulnerable i don't get and for an administration that's already facing a narrative, to eliminate the term diversity from any budget requests from the cdc is questionable as well. >> well, yeah. i mean, look, if nothing else, it gives you a pretty good road map about what they're going to try to defund. right? i mean, if they're saying we don't want to hear the wordy versety, if you were engaged in

for example di ses prevention strategies and making sure you were talking to a minority community or dealing with language issues or cultural issues. what they're letting you know is forget it. now, is there going to be a bushback from within the agency? i'm sure there will be because there are career professionals who have dedicated lives to the public by having a free exchange of information. if they are serious about this this will certainly end up in court where judges and lawyers are not going to be as likely as some of these political folks to want to just abolish words. >> the response was described by the post as many people who were incredulous. i don't know how you control and prevent diseases without science based evidence, evidence based

results as opposed to wishes. thank you both. this morning an aggressive warning from north korea to president trump. state media calling the president a quote, old lunatic and saying his administration needs to be pru dentd if they want to avoid, quote, disgrace and destruction. these comments are coming just hours after defense secretary said their weapons are not a threat to the united states. president trump's lawyers are scheduled to meet with special counsel robert mueller next week in hopes that the russia investigation is coming to a close. we've got detail about the next steps. >> and they voted overwhelmingly for donald trump a year ago because he brought them hope. cnn returns to kentucky to ask how they feel about the

well, a mystery in canada where police are investigating the suspicious deaths of a billionaire and his wife. >> barry and honey sherman were found dead in their mansion. this is friday afternoon. police say that now the deaths are just suspicious, not homicide, but that could change. barry sherman was the founder of the largest canadian pharmaceutical company. they're described as great leaders who made their community a better place to live. new develops in the russia investigation president trump's lawyers set to meet with mueller early in the next week. >> reporter: sources tell us that the president's lawyers are planning to meet with special counsel robert mueller and his team we're told as soon as the coming week. what the president's lawyers

hope will be a chance to find out the next steps in the mueller investigation. the legal team is hoping they can see signs that the end is near in mueller's investigation. now, they've had other meetings but here's why this one is of significance. the white house says that everyone who works there and who mueller has asked to interview has now gone in for an interview. one of the last happened earlier last week when white house counsel skoun counsel sat down for his ber view. there's been no request to interview the president or the vice president, we're told. he says we do not and will not discuss our periodic communications with the special counsel. and of course, trump lawyers know that mueller could still come back to ask for more interviews and for more documents and it's important to note there's no requirement for mueller to give them any information. they're hoppiing he's going to show his cards. the mueller investigation is

moving quickly compared to white collar criminal investigations. he's been on the job seven months and mueller has brought charges to four people including two who have plead guilty to the fbi. the president and republicans want the cloud of this investigation lifted. cnn senior law enforcement and assistant director with us. what will those discussions look like behind closed doors with the mueller team? >> good morning, christie. i think the white house lawyers would like this to indicate that it's close to a finish, that all of the documents have been turned over, all of the interviews of all of the staff at the white house and campaign members have been concluded and now that just leaves whether or not they want to talk to the president or not, and go through a discussion about whether that's going to happen or could

happen. so i think it would indicate that this is getting close to the end and they want to expedite this process from both sides. >> i want to listen together here to what president trump said late yesterday regarding the fbi and he said this right before he was going to give a speech at quantico. >> it's a shame what's happened with the fbi, but we're going to rebuild the fbi. it will be bigger and better than ever, but it is very sad when you look at those documents and how they've done that is really, really disgraceful and you have a lot of very angry people that are seeing it. >> what's your reaction to thaz a former fbi agent? >> i think first of all that the fbi needs to be rebuilt is false. i think that the only rebuilding needs to be in the executive suite at fbi headquarters where our director comey at the time and deputy director and then we hear about all the antics, those

three have done tremendous damage to the reputation of the fbi, possible tremendous damage to ongoing investigations at the time that this was occurring a year ago and that part is true. the part that the fbi itself needs to be rebuilt, i don't think it's necessary. i think's o it's one of the mos effective organizations in the u.s. government. its reputation worldwide is very important and i'm not saying that because i had 30 years in the fbi. buzz but i know the inner workings and the personnel that have been there all along and it's not an organization in tatters, but the executive level has been very problematic and actually their activities have been disgusting. >> what about the change in leadership that's already taken place with the new director

christopher wray. >> his hands are tied in some of the most key aspects of what's going on. you have past investigations, such as the clinton e-mail investigation under inspector general's scrutiny. you have current things like what's gone on with strok under scrutiny. the inspector general, a lot of people don't realize, it's not under the control of the attorney general or deputy attorney general or anyone else within the doj, it's really a separate entity and independent entity and everyone wishes that they would expedite what they're doing an get these investigations. they've been hanging like a cloud over the presidency, but now hanging like a cloud over the fbi. and it's very damaging. these things need to be resolved fairly and quickly. >> okay. real quickly, want to listen here to representative jim hines

who's on the intel dmit tcommit. >> when you were attacking the mechanism of justice of the united states of america, you are setting this country up for a place where no facts are true or false. anybody can get away with any behavior at all, and we will have something that doesn't look like anything like the democracy that we've had for a long period of time. >> is there a consequence to president trump's words as he's suggesting there? >> yes, i think so. i think the fbi relies on much of its success based on a deserved reputation for fairness and excellence and being able to conclude investigations in a expeditious manner and this applies to whether it's the fbi responding to a civil rights investigation after there's rioting in certain cities. this is worldwide on other

nations trusting the fbi on citizens and law enforcement officials within those countries especially if they don't trust their own government coming to the fbi, so the reputation matters. the ability to gain cooperation within the united states and around the world is really contingent on the fact that the fbi's success of having concluded such cases in the past and having been seen to do it properly. >> okay. we always appreciate your input. thank you, sir. >> thank you. the final version of the gop tax plan is out. no changes will be made but will it be passed? the brakes, the brackets and if it will make a difference for you.

trying to make sure those last minute senators were on board. he spoke to marco rubio on the phone yesterday when he indicated he was likely to vote yes. we also say ivanka trump, the president's daughter who had been working with rubio on the issue of child tax credit thank him on social media. the white house making sure they give positive reenforce in the to these senators to make sure there are no last minute holdups to prevent this bill from being done before christmas. >> what's your take on the degree of the belief this will pass? >> at the same time there are some worries in the back of their mind. there could be some procedural issues that pop up and there's the issue of two health concerns of two that are out right now.

both of the senators, their staffs are saying they expect to be be here for the bill next year, but just the indication from the white house is right now that there is some concern that in particularly john mccain's health is not great right now. the president yesterday making a phone call to the hospital where john mccain is being treated and speaking to his wife cindy mccain, in an attempt to speak with john mccain but he couldn't get through for whatever reason. an indication from the white house, from the press secretary that the white house is praying for john mccain and his family is hoping both his health will improve and also that he will be present for this vote next week. >> all right. thanks so much. for the full text of the tax bill you can go to c cnn.com/politics. and republicans are on track to seek a record number of republican judges.

the american bar association is rated 8% of the president's nominees as not qualified. that is the highest percentage for any president since the early 1960s and republican senator john kennedy is now calling for one nomination to be withdrawn. that is the nomination of matthew peterson who struggled to answer basic legal questions asked during his hearing this week. >> have you ever tried a jury trial? >> i have not. >> civil? >> no. >> criminal? >> no. >> bench? >> no. >> state or federal court? >> i have not. >> do you know what a motion in limine is. >> i would probably not be able to give you a good definition. >> do you know what the younger abstention doctrine? >> i've heard of it. >> you're going to see that a lot in federal court. okay. >> earlier this week the white house said two nominations will

not go forward after both were criticized for past controversial kmencomments. >> i will say that i did raise objections on two of the president's other nominees. once again they're done in his name but i don't believe for a second president trump interviewed them. one of his nominees for example didn't tell us, it was revealed by the press, one of his nominees was caught blogging in support of the early ku klux klan. this is american and you can do what you want and i can do what i want and i'm not going to vote for him and they pulled him down. >> president trump has nominated 62 men and women thus far to fi fill judgeships. >> he don't talk like a politician. >> he is billionaire from new york city. >> he's not a politician. >> he is. he's the president.

>> he's the president, but -- >> he's a politician. >> you know good and well he don't act like one. >> so what do they think of the president now? one year later cnn goes back to beattyville, a struggling town to see if their votes brought the change they needed.

politician. he don't talk like a politician. >> he's a billionaire from new york city. >> he's a billionaire from new york city. he's not a politician. >> he is. he's the president. >> he's the president but -- >> he's a politician. >> you know good and well he don't act like one. >> what will it take for him to get your vote in 2020. >> all he's got to do is run. >> that's it? >>'s it. >> he's not the man i thought he was. he's not. he just -- he's overbearing and he's not getting nothing done. >> he says he's accomplished more than any president. >> he has not. he said he'd put everybody back to work. >> jobs, that's what he says would lift the town up. for now he relies on his father's va benefits to get by
