4:01 am
race. moore won binaril by nearly 10 . moore's win, more impressive when you consider that mitch mcconnell, and republican establishment pumped $30 million into propping up strange. paying nearly $150 per vote, that strange won. moore won by double digits, he won 63 of 67 counties. president trump today quickly embraced moore, complimenting him for running a great race, and saying he is sure to win december's general election. >> we have a man who will be a great senator, and i am very happy with that. i spoke to him last night, i never met him, i am happy with him. and i have to say, luther came a long way from the time i endorsed him, he ran a good
4:02 am
race, but roy ran a really great race. lou: moore's victory is a big blow to mitch mcconnell, having won of the worst weeks of his 32 years in u.s. senate. aside from backing the losing candidate, mcconnell yesterday was forced on call off a vote on the repeal of obamacare, his third failed attempt to muster 50 votes in the senate. hours later, one ofs had allies senator bob corker of tennessee announcing he would not seek reelection in 2018, creating another open seat, that antiestablishment conservatives are likely to targ wet gusto -- target with gusto. the bannon wing of the party has expressed interest, such as arizona jeff flake. and nevada dean heller and mississippi rodger wicker, the midterm elections are already under way. and populism, proving to be

4:04 am
big part in tax reform, a member of so-called "big six," he is here to discuss whether republicans can pass the president trump tax reform plan in the wake of repeated failures. joining us, tonight, is congressman kevin brady, chairman of the powerful house ways and means committee, first congressman good to have you with us. simple, less taxes. it sounds so good. what could possibly abou go wro? >> this is an exciting day, historical day, americans have been waiting 30 years for a president to lead, and a congress to unify. i am proud to stand with president trump in this bold effort, president reagan, that tax reform was game changes, it
4:05 am
took two and a half years to achieve, we're seeking to do it in one year, best way to get on same page at president, that is why today was important. lou: a lot of people, as you know, would question why it took so long for leadership of house and senate to get behind the president's agenda instead of the better way, nonsense and all that other you encounter and conflicting currents running in the body politic. is this clear now that the president is going to get what he wants from the republican leadership in the house and senate? >> the answer is yes. let me correct one thing, we jumped on president's agenda, he wanted 15 separate bills to help roll back regulation, we got them t to his desk. we have been working with the
4:06 am
president now, directly for the past 3 months, working toward a unifieded tax reform plan, we're on the same page. he is leading in a big bold way, so, i am telling you, in the house, our republicans we're so excited for delivering on this promise. lou: and i have to say, the republican national committee, the chair, mcdaniel comes out supporting immediately the president's plan. getting behind tax reform. the house study group, the freedom caucus, i mean you guys, you guys are learning. >> well, look, we believe people should keep more of hard earned money they earn, we think our businesses should be able to compete anywhere in world, if we can cut taxes on the local small businesses and let 9 out of 10 americans file with a simple post card system we'll help change the country, we're in for this. lou: the brackets, the prospect
4:07 am
of four. but, in terms of corporate, and business pass through rates, still not parody between corporate america and small business that is a big issue to among others as you know national federation of independent business, the small business folks they deserve in some ways a bigger break than the multinational and corporate america. why can't you get to parody there? >> here is where it is, we're proposing a 40% cut tax cut on local businesses, whether they are smallest mo mom and pop just starting out or biggest corporation, both of those are the lowest rates in modern history, we don't stop there for small businesses. we make sure they can do full, unlimited right off, we end death tax for our small businesses, we'll allow, encourage tome this be able to
4:08 am
deduct their interest payment, we'll make sure more small businesses can just do simple cash accounting, a simple way to keep their books, we're going all in on small businesses, they are such a big part of our local economy. >> how soon will we see tax reform. >> great question. it depends on the budget. no budget, no tax reform. but today, in the house, after republicans across spectrum saw how bold we're going, they signed on to the budget, i know we'll move next week on this budget. once it signed, seals and delivered by senate in house we'll move on tax reform. lou: chairman kevin brady good to talk with you. >> thank you. lou: we're coming right back with much more. stay with us. >> alabama voter rebuke the
4:09 am
republican establishment, and vote for judge roy moore. >> certainly support president trump's agenda. and that yes, i am an outsider, not part of the establishment. lou: we take up the possible plus sun surge in populous surgn america. and a shocking new study reveals just how much illegal immigration is costing american tax payers every year, we'll have that outrageous number for you, and more ahead. you, and more ahead. stay with ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ well i'm gone

4:13 am
>> the president said he is note happy with health and human services secretary tom price, because price used tax mayor money for travel on privates -- taxpayer money for travel on private jets. >> i am looking at that closely, i am not happy with it. i am not happy with it [inaudible] >> we'll see, he says. price traveled on corporate votes at least 26 times since may, including a nea nearly $180 round trip flight from washington, d.c. to nashville where he had lunch with his son. not happy says the president. neither are the tax payers.
4:14 am
number joining me to now to discuss tom price a questionable leadership of the department he is secretary of, is travel plans, and fallout from the alabama senator race and more fox fusfox news krit chris & pil goodwin. ed rollins. good lord, man, you are wearing me out with our titles. >> i had to live forever to get all those, many more. lou: pile them up. let's start with alabama. that president himself, acknowledged and endorsement of the incumbent that he thought he might be making a mistake. >> someone talked him into doing something he should not have done, he is populous to the and basically endorsed the --
4:15 am
candidate, moore will be a good vote for him, he will windfall, and i think he will stay as long as he wants. i hope this is a good listen to president, -- a good lesson to the president, about who he listens to. lou: it seems to me, in a week no one will remember. >> no. not if republicans hol hold the seat, it will be a passing. lou: i make you a bet that president trump makes sure that judge roy moore is elected by a wide margin no matter what. >> no shortage of money, moore is a good, smart guy. he will be close to the president, he may not be close to mcconnell. lou: he shouldn't be, mcconnell is a disaster. he can't leave the senate.
4:16 am
throws 10 million into a 30 million race on one side, all that money to lug ar luther stre still can't win. >> 45%. lou: unbelievable. >> mitch mcconnell did not have a good day yesterday. lou: may he have many more would be th the expression on part ofe populous. this may have a startling affect, i think some people may be, on direction of politics in the republican party, this is a very clear message, corker leaves next year, not waiting, this is a time that the populous movement. goes way beyond national politics, and to every state. >> i think there is no question. i think corker quit or announced he is not running for
4:17 am
reelection, he was fearful for a primary. a couple others may take a hard look. have a serious challenge to me, they may leave before much longer too. i think it is a new day in politics, and people will speak and listen. >> i'm surprised something similar is note happening to democratic -- not happening to democratic side yet. with the warren sing and bernie sanders wing supporting more centrist democrats, i think it is coming, i am surprised we've not seen it yet. lou: you saw a generational primary in the democratic party. i mean, it is between basically 70-year-old woman and a 74-year-old senator. it is the standard bearer talk talking about nonsense of a new
4:18 am
century, they don't know how to do something differently. >> they are irrelevant in the process. lou: what do you figure, 2020? >> they have to find some new, young people to you know to younger americans. lou: the ones they have trodded out so far they don't have a chance. >> no and the generation that is running won't get out of the way. lou: how about the. -- how about the republicans? they have a huge issue with the rhinos, jeff flake. heller. wicker, and -- i mean, the list goes on. all of these rhinos, have screwed up the frankly the senate to this point. and almost the house. >> ones you mentioned will have challenge, flake has a serious challenger, and i think other two will too. i think gain message yesterday was that there is a bunch of voters who are not happy, the
4:19 am
fact that you have republican as a senator does not mean a lot if you can't produce. lou: turning to nfl and president's demand that they go to hell if they don't start respecting the usa. which i love that. i love the leadership he has shown to this issue, left trying to dismiss this size as a culture war, this is profound and fundamental to our politics. >> culture is a big part of our politics, and president, his ability to read public mood on this is unprecedented. ed and i were talking earlier, not so much as there is a strategy as there is a instinct. lou: why the hell does there have to be a strategy. a bunch of corporatists who want strategies, they want this and, that this man is leading with
4:20 am
his own personal values, and his vision. out of 16 other candidates, which one of them had a vision? only trump, only trump had a position on issues, establishing ground work and introduced the issues through you on the campaign. >> the flag issue is very much consistent with america first. lou: absolutely. >> right down the middle of the lane. lou: 1600 employees on field for nfl, you would think this is a big deal. this is silly. >> well, the nfl wraps themselves in a flag, they have soldiers carry them out, they have air force jets flying over them, then they let 5 or six -- >> they quit changing military for that privilege. >> you have the discontent football player decide this is where they will make their protest, they need to stop it. lou: i think it is
4:21 am
irretrievable, gaddelle showingl showing himself to be at perfect ass. to get this far into the ignorance of dishonoring our flag, our national anthem, and every member of our military. at what point does reason prevail here on the part of those malcontents and entitleed and abjectly reckless fools. >> i think only when it hits them in their pocketbook. lou: you are still watching pro football. >> i watched a little last night, but not so much. >> i didn't. >> that is a big sacrifice for him. lou: thank you to directv and attractiv--at&t we don't watch d service, we are not watching nfl
4:22 am
channel any of that nonsense, we refuse. >> repeat our slogan, stand up, we'll watch, kneel down, we won't watch. lou: that is right. toy.i want to say to directv and at&t, giving a refund to all who cancel, we appreciate it. that and i think that is just nice leadership on the part of a corporation. two corporations. >> corporate america supports a lot of sports that just would not pay its way. >> right. lou: all right, thank you so much, guys. >> thank you. >> ed rollins and michael goodwin. lou: vote in tonight's question, do you believe that strengthening populous wave will lead to mcconnell's exit? follow me on instagram. on wall street, stocks up on
4:23 am
optimism over the president's plan for tax cuts and a dismissal of those fears about north korea. which were overblown by the could press. dow up 56, s&p up 10, nasdaq up 73, volume 3.4 billion shares. apple's iphone 10 may be in short supply. we have no time -- pending home sales 2.6% lower in august. a reminder, primarily because of low inventory, listen to my report three times a day coast to coast, salem radio network up next, some progress on one of the president's key campaign promises. we're closer to building that wall. a full report from the border,
4:26 am

and knowing that we don't have to pay for all of the medical expenses, that's huge. st. jude allowed me to focus on being a mom to bryce. and sometimes i'm just in awe of the impact st. jude has, not only on this community, but the world. st. jude nos ha dado todo. nos está dando la salud de nuestra princesa - y sin pagar nada. st. jude is uniquely positioned to advance the cures of pediatric cancer, i think better than any other institution in the world. donors are important to us because, you get the feeling that you have a team behind you. we have the resources, and we have the focus, and so, if st. jude doesn't do it, who will? ♪♪
4:28 am
lou: trump supporters would have liked to have seen ground broken on inauguration today. today they got a glimpse on 8 prototypes. reporter: it may look like any other construction site. but this is the beginning of president trump's long-promised border wall. >> i will build a great, great wall on our southern border and i will have mexico pay for that wall. mark my word. reporter: the process involved 8 different wall designs. congress has caused up the money
4:29 am
for the prototypes but will need to approve more to complete the designs stretching from the pacific ocean to the gulf of mexico. >> history shows border security is an achievable objective when we have the resources in the terms of bored personnel and infrastructure. reporter: average construction costs so far has been $300 mill a mile. the feds and local police departments are planning for protests, though none have materialized. last week the state of california filed suit in their opposition to the trump wall. >> although we are an environmental organization we see commonality with other organizations fighting other elements of the trump administration's approach to immigration issues and border
4:30 am
security issues. reporter: a few feet from a degraded wall that agents say are ineffective and old. some companies will wait a couple weeks to bring their designs out to keep them secret from their competitors. lou: we would have given more covering to the story earlier but we didn't want the likes of mcconnell and ryan to get overly excited. the top-down law making doesn't work when the top and the legislature is so down. we are coming back with much, much more. stay with us, we'll be right back. president trump warns the disgraceful nfl to stop attacking american values and show respect for the u.s.a. >> in my opinion the nfl will
4:31 am
4:35 am
lou: a shocking new report showing the costs of illegal immigration to taxpayers has ballooned to $135 billion a year driven by education, healthcare and a huge law enforcement bill. joining me to talk about this to the nfl. michelle malkin. great t he you with let's start with illegal imgrion and judge roy moore. does his election mean that wall has a better chance of being built before the election? >> it sure does. roy moore has been a constitutional conservative who
4:36 am
support our sovereignty and borders and opposed to the massive imposition of the costs of illegal immigration, including the bloody costs of not enforcing the borders. this is a very good thing. i hope president trump sees it that way, too. lou: the president fully supporting roy moore. roy moore putting a standard in the ground. we are seeing some reaction in washington, d.c. beyond bob corker who decided not to seek reelection to his senate seat. do you think we'll see more mitch mcconnell senators seek refuge or sanctuary, if you prefer? >> yes, it's time for so many of these republican establishment types to take a knee and take a
4:37 am
hike themselves. i think we'll see that ripple effect. in the case of alabama with roy moore. it's not just that he was anti-establishment. the voters in alabama trusted his record on traditional values and sovereignty, and it's perfectly in line with this important battle that president trump has drawn a line in the sand to. it's about standing up to america. and we'll see it in other races. particularly in arizona where jeff flake has been on the wrong side of so many issues faces scene outsider. he is beyond -- he's inexplicable. let's turn to another inexplicable group, the players, some 1,600 of them. their ownership and management.
4:38 am
taking leave their senses and insulting americans and insulting the flag. their own by laws require them to stand at the sidelines with their helmets in the their left hand and i would suggest their right hands over their hearts. it's appalling what we are watching. >> it is. it's such a great point you are making about their selective enforcement of their own rules. so many people in law enforcement remember when the nfl forbade the dallas cowboys from honoring the cops who were killed in an ambush that was inspired by black lives matter type rhetoric against cops. so many of these players and owners going along like sheep are foregetting this stems from
4:39 am
colin kaepernick, a man who wore socks that depicted cops as pigs. who supported in defiance a t-shirt of fidel castro and praised the education system there over america's. this man is insane. people are not understanding what these gestures are endorsing. the fact they are doing it overseas is all the more noxious. lou: this is a fight the president will win. i can't tell you how long it's going to take. but he's resolute and right. >> where the land of the free because of the brave. let's not forget it. lou: michelle malkin, thanks for being here. do you believe the strengthening populist wave in this country will lead to mitch mcconnell's exit? please roll the video as we show

4:45 am
mattis. u.s. and afghan forces repelled the asacramento. the taliban claimed mattis was the target though he already left the airport, we are told. the latest on the russian witch hunt, and of course the deep state. retired lieutenant colonel tony shaffer. good to see you. first all, let's start with general mattis. the secretary of defense lands unannounced with what people thought would be a surprise business. obviously not to the taliban. >> we are more and more relying on our allies, the afghans for purposes of comprehensive security. it's not work. we have had a number of green on blue attacked and taliban
4:46 am
infiltrate into the ranks of the afan mary. this will continue. this was a joint isis-taliban attack. so much as we have been successful in defeating al qaeda. isis rolled right in there taking taliban's place. we have to change the way we are approaching this because we have been there for 16 years and we haven't won yet. lou: the president has given general mattis a free hand, if i could put it that way, with force levels, with whatever strategy is required to kill the islamic state and the taliban. 3,000 more troops recently added. and here we are repeating many of the same mistakes and seeing
4:47 am
rockets fired at our secretary of defense is not a comforting sight. >> let me be blunt. one of the factors this pentagon is not dealing with. i have spoken to a number of senior leaders on this, is pakistan. we have pretended pack stains our ally. but once you do the forensics of this attack you will trace everything back to the pakistani border and safe havens in pakistan. until we change that, nothing is going to change. lou: that's one of the most of elegant metaphors. >> i'm good with words. lou: you are. let's turn to judicial watch who wants a second judicial counsel to investigate mueller. we are hearing from the
4:48 am
judiciary committee in the house. congressman goodlatte, the chair, wants a second special counsel to deal with loretta lynch and hillary clinton. the list goes on. the republicans control the white house, the house and the senate. ways going on. >> we need to look at jim clapper. i was speak to a member of the trump team who tbhawls the meeting when jim clapper first briefed the president on the russia iss a a complete 180. so the bottom line is there is amble -- overwhelming amounts of d there is ample, overwhelming amounts of information. lou: why aren't they governing and having an impact in setting the direction for these
4:49 am
investigations? >> that's the million dollar question. the president is going to have to do something to figure out a way to influence allies on the hill to do this. you have the jim jordans and mark meadows and people in the senate. lou: and paul ryan and mitch mcconnell. >> you have got troops in the senate and house who want to do this. i talk to them on a daily basis. i was meeting with steve king from iowa yesterday on this very topic. it's not that you don't have members who understand this. you have a leadership layer who just don't want to do their job. that's the problem. so it's a political will issue. not a legislative issue or legal issue. lou: it's a deep state issue.
4:50 am
they have been bought lock, stock and barrel and they are not serving the interests of the nation. >> the leadership is deep state guys. that's the issue. lou: up next. crooked hillary clinton comparing donald trump to vladimir putin. what is wrong with this woman? we'll take up her latest, bizarre -- i would call it eccentric. i would call it deeply, deeply troubling manifestation of something very wrong. ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ can i kick it? ♪ yes you can ♪ well i'm gone

75% of you say not nfl will not. hillary clinton continues to use the international spotlight to whine about her election loss. listen to her absurd comparison that she made, her reference to president trump and a fella named putin. >> i don't think he values democracy. i think he wants he's not a democrat little d. >> no web's a top-down guy. >> he's an her to tearian? so he's no never than putin. >> hopefully he hasn't ordered the killing of people and journalists. lou: joining me niger innis. and mercedes colwin. what is wrong with this woman?
4:56 am
almost without comment in the national left wing nut media. >> this is not a joke. her supporters say it's a joke. it's not a joke. if it were in a different setting, that's libelous. if you are going to accuse people of ordering the killing of other people, of killing journalists? it's outrageous. lou: your take, nigel? >> i have to concur. she is hawking books and she believes there is a party, her base, i suppose, of high if he nateed victims, if -- of hyphen eighted victims who see themselves regardless of their
4:57 am
station in life and being a brilliant gladiator that earned the millions of dollars you are making and doing extraordinarily well and a shining example of american success around the world, you somehow have to chime into victim ideology. ellen degeneres had megyn kelly on her show and talked about the fact she would not have president trump on as a guest. the reason she gave is because she is a gay woman and consequently she can't possibly have president trump on. first of all, this president more than any other republican nominee went the extra mile in the convention to say he is in favor of lgbtq. he got them all right. give me a break. everybody wants to be a

hyphenna hed victim. behave like victims. it makes it busy for lawyers. lou: let's go to the biggest victims of all. the oppressed nfl players who make only millions of dollars a year who decided to follow colin kaepernick into oblivion. i guess they are going to give up those jobs because it would be insincere of them not to, if they are so disgusted with the oppressive environment in which they live. >> this is the best country in the world. you want to talk about oppression. go to countries where they don't

care about human rights and don't care about individual rights and they will oppress you. this is not an oppressive country. i know you have covered it and beautifully. there are no first amendment rights here. it has to be governmental action. there is all the people saying this. lou: you have got a gutless wonder like roger goodell who just turned the keys to the organization over to the players union. it unless their bylaws they have to be on the sidelines and respect the flag and our nation. >> what was most of disappointing to me as a patriotic american is that these players, the black, white players over in the united kingdom that actually stood for the "god save the queen" for the u.k., but then would kneel for
