out of 27 countries growing. you never see that. liz: rick reader. you see a triple play. [closing bell rings] berkshire hathaway earnings after the bell. that is the claman countdown. see you on monday. melissa: day for the record books. dow ending up. new record close for the s&p and nasdaq as well. happy friday, and happy records my friend. >> i love it, i love it. records across the board. i'm david asman. this is "after the bell." more on the big market movers but first another very busy hour. we're covering it all right here. the battle for you to keep a little more what you earn. wouldn't that be nice? house leaders are under tight deadline to sell the plan with reluctant house republicans. we haven't gotten to the senate yet. president trump telling them to get the job done while he is a way. he is on air force one, making

his way to asia for historic 10-day trip. we have that covered. plus all-out battle. bombshell new claims that are rocking the democrat party. among our guests this hour, former presidential candidate steve forbes. former presidential candidate herman cain. republican congressman dave reichert. a member of the tax-writing house ways and means committee. and "tmz" founder harvey levin with the latest on arnold schwarzenegger? don't want to miss that. melissa: interesting stuff there. the markets with all-time high, ending the day with the 56th record close 56th, under president trump. lori rothman on the floor of new york stock exchange. another banner day, lori. >> it was just enough to chalk up that record. we started the session this morning with the october jobs report. it was decent. job creation moving in the right direction.

not quite as robust as economists were hoping for. still enough to keep the markets afloat. apple's blowout earnings this time yesterday, continue to fuel technology. the s&p, nasdaq, also closing at records today. the big story of course, the apple iphone x, released today. huge demand for this, with the market cap of the company approaching now $900 billion. it is staggering. apple continuing feigns from earnings charged yesterday. look at ge. finally relief for ge shareholders. snapping a nine-day losing streak, the longest in something like eight years. ge shares dropped below 20 bucks yesterday. they're barely broaching $20. enough to snap scary losing streak for general electric. deal in the chip industry. broadcom is looking to buy qualcomm. qualcomm got a huge boost on the news. shares up almost 13%.

best day for qualcomm in nine years. if this happens, it would be the biggest chipmaker acquisition ever. we'll keep our eye on it. melissa: lori, thank you for that. david: a tax bill in hand, but little time to sell it. president trump aiming to sign the bill into law by the end of the year. so can republican leaders get it done? chad pergram, fox news capital hill senior producer. i'm told on monday, it goes into mark-up. what is mark of up? what is is entailed in the process? >> this is the first step of the process, go through the bill line by line and make legislative changes. we expect it to start noon on monday t could go well into the night. maybe go several days, tuesday, wednesday, especially on piece of legislation on this import. you get something sometimes called the chairman's mark, official reporting out of committee what the bill looks like. you also sometimes get a manager's amendment. i remember when i was a little

kid, on christmas morning i thought i should have a manager's amendment, that is all the things santa didn't bring. so what kevin brady, chair of ways and means committee might be see what gets the votes. one of the issues may be revenue, if they eliminate the individual mandate of obamacare. that ising is out there, when i asked kevin brady anything related to the bill, he said no, not at this point. not at this point. the manager's amendment -- david: forgive me, chad, one of the other things they're having trouble with, the folks in high-taxed state, afraid of losing deduction of state and local taxes, where does that stand now? >> if you get the manager's amendment, that repeals individual mandate, that might take care of salt, state and local tax deductions to give people happy. i will give you three canaries in the coal mine to look for. lee stefanik, claudia tenney

from upstate new york. they voted against the budget framework for tax reform. it was a tight vote. lose two votes it, would have been done. if they are yeses on, very likely they could pass this bill. david: great. we have canary notice coal mine. there is another big coal mine to talk about, the u.s. senate. they are the ones that hung up reform in the health care, are they going to do the same for taxes? >> people think is it may may not be the coal mine but a bottomless pit. keep in mind how fast they want to do this they want to get it by november 8th. maybe not putting daca on government funding bill. i bring that up why? because democrats won't side with them on government funding bill. could they pass tax reform and get it through the house and senate amid a government shutdown at holidays? that would be absolutely epic. it would probably kill tax reform right there, david. david: chad pergram, who could

write a novel of everything happening over past several months. melissa. melissa: unemployment dropping to 4.1%, the lowest level in 17 years, adding 261,000 jobs. here is jack, "barron's" senior editor and michelle gerard. thanks for joining us. what do you think of the number? >> there is so much noise in the number. look at trends, year-to-date job growth, 170,000. it is same the last six or 12 months away from the noise of the hurricane. we have a strong job market. unemployment rate moving lower. this month is moved down for the wrong reasons. people left labor force after blowout number last month. the bottom line, economy is healthy. job market is healthy. we have upward momentum heading

into 2018. melissa: jack, do you agree with that? >> for the most part. i would like a continuation of wage growth. we haven't seen that. this is more of what we've seen a long, slow economic recovery. that is enough to keep the stock market moving. >> michelle, how do we get upward pressure on wages now? seems like all excess is wrung out of the jobs market. that is the next spot that has got to kind of move? >> the important point, key is productivity growth. i think companies are moving loathe to hire workers that aren't going to add a lot to revenues or the bottom line. and productivity growth, through 2015 was very soft. the good news is, we have data on this week, productivity has been picking up. this year we've seen companies back investing in equipment and productivity is rising. i think that bodes very well for the wage picture going forward. melissa: i mean, jack that is a great point especially now if you see the tax code changes, they bring more money back from overseas. there is the opportunity to invest that in equipment and

other enhancements that might increase productivity? >> perhaps. look. on the tax code, on the tax reform, we're a long way from seeing what we're going to get. the chances of it passing in its current form i think are very small. it is really early in the conversation. melissa: okay, all right. guys, thanks. >> thanks. >> trying to deliver great tax reform to the american public. we can't get it retroactive to this year. we're trying to do a tax plan that tarts january 1st next year. david: doesn't sound good. white house economic advisor gary cohn, telling fox business that he doesn't think the tax cuts will cover your 2017 tax bill. here is republican congressman, dave reichert, tax writing house ways and means committee member. they are the guys who are getting the jobs done, but will americans, congressman, have to wait until april 2018, until they see their taxes go down in.

>> this is the first step in the process. as of now that the is language in the by we have to go through a markup next week. senate has to look at the bill. the white house is engaged. a lot of things could change. right now january 18 would be beginning of the bill. david: that would mean april 2018, that is year-and-a-half away. if it isn't active for 2018, won't we see a dip in the economy, that could affect the 2018 midterm elections? >> i think people are excited we have a product and we're moving forward, they see the future of this tax relief especially when you take a look at lowering middle income workers tax liability, lowering corporate rate, creating jobs. david: congressman, i hate to interrupt. >> yep. david: these are promises. americans are so fed up with promises. if you look at history, history shows that when you delay things

on taxes, businesses and individuals don't make a move until the taxes are installed. until they see it in their receipts every week, their sal ray receipts. >> you will begin to see those tax relief, that tax relief with your first paycheck. david: hold on. that is not until january 2018, right? >> so next year, you get first paycheck. get paid by the week, the first paycheck you will see reduction in your withholding taxes. you will see reduction there. so that will be a immediate. but when you file your taxes, you will file for 2017. again, that hasn't been decided the important piece to point out this is not just tax cuts this is tax law. this is very, very different. i think has created energy not

only amongst the middle class workers but across the board when it comes to businesses. david: we understand. the difficulties are enormous. it's a huge economy. taxation is how we fund the government. that is a huge process. but there are some glitches in a way. we're wondering, we're talking a lot about state and local tax deductions. whether and how that might be part of this tax bill. what is the very latest on that? >> you know, washington state is it one of those seven states with a sales tax. the effort here in the committee, over the last few years, and working on this ththat's been to create equality across the country for all states, we treat everyone somewhat fairly. that will not make everyone happy. the effort here is to create revenue spread out amongst the taxpayers across the country and lower everybody's rate. david: bottom line, i'm hearing you may be able to deduct your

property tax, but not the state and local tax, income tax, is that the way it ends up? >> that's correct. >> remember to look at total package when we're done. evaluate the overall tax liability. that every american should see reduction in taxes going to the federal government. this tax code is unfair, hurts hard-working americans. it's a tax code that benefited, those that can use tax shelters and loopholes. we get rid of all that. david: let's hope you're successful. thanks very much for joining us congressman. melissa? >> thank you. melissa: we have live pictures of the astros world series victory parade in texas. celebrating the game 7 win against the dodgers. claiming first serious win in franchise history. david: i was rooting for l.a. good for them. they have had a tough summer.

president trump calling for investigation on details of new allegations that dnc helped rig the nomination for hillary clinton. former presidential candidate, herman cain he is always sounding off but he will talk about the tax plan coming up. melissa: a twitter employee goes rogue. did youdid you hear about this? how one person was able to shut down the commander-in-chief's account. david: a parting shot. in hollywood, more claims of sexual harrassment are made public. we have getting word from the nypd, that they have a credible rape allegation against harvey weinstein. according to a report from the associated press. who better to talk about all this than "tmz" founder harvey levin. he is here to respond. what arnold schwarzenegger told him after all this happened. >> i literally have to hold on to thiso table after hearing

that. was snap a photo of the damage and voila! voila! i wish my insurance company had that... wait! hold it... hold it boys... there's supposed to be three of you... where's your brother? where's your brother? hey, where's charlie? charlie?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you. liberty stands with you™ liberty mutual insurance. i'm ryan awith chantix.king smoking was comforting. it was like a security blanket. it made me feel good, it really did. i would doubt myself that i could actually quit, but with chantix i did it. along with support, chantix (varenicline) is proven to help people quit smoking. chantix reduced my urge to smoke. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures,

new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i'm so proud to be a non-smoker. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay.

that is what you ought to take a look at. melissa: president trump slamming the 2016 democratic primary, claiming the nomination was rigged but former dnc chair donna brazile says the president is twisting her words. today's lesson being quoted by donald trump means misquoted donald trump. trop trolling me. never said hillary rigged the election. well, the passage the president is referring to from brazile's book is quote, the funding agreement with hillary for america, and the victory fund agreement, was not illegal but it sure looked unethical. here now is herman cain, former presidential candidate and fox news contributor. i mean the basic allegation, is, that what it looked like to the naked eye. all along the dnc was sort of bought and paid for rooting for them, pushing hillary clinton ahead. and bernie sanders had a uphill

battle fighting hillary clinton but his own democratic machine which was supposed to find the most popular, best candidate to go up against president trump or whoever the republican was. what do you think? >> melissa whether you call it rigged or smigged, to liberals, undelight, that president trump was correct. donna brazile, bless her heart, he is misinterpreting what she meant. no he is not. here is the other fact about this when ever the president speculates about something, the liberal media hopes he is wrong but most of the time he is right. he is right about the democrats that the nomination process was rigged. it has been confirmed. donna brazile can use whatever words she wants to try to deflect the fact that president trump was correct. seems. melissa: seems like what might

happened, when you go by brazile's explanation how it worked there may be campaign finance violation, pardon me, they were directing money into the dnc earmarked for hillary clinton, and maybe by finance laws couldn't have gone directly to her campaign, but instead going to the dnc covers, with the idea it was for her and not for bernie sanders? >> absolutely right. we won't know the answers to that until further investigation is launched to determined because if money from her campaign is going into the dnc, we know, one were those dollars super-pac funds? were they individual fund? melissa: right. >> it makes a difference. you're right, there could be campaign finance laws violated in that whole process. we don't know the answers to that until later. melissa: we all knew, that both

the clintons and democrats would not let him anywhere near the hoop at that point. i guess he wasn't a democrat before that anyway. so maybe it is fair but who knows. herman, while we have you here what is your take on the republican tax plan? >> i think it's a good start. it's a good start. now we know that it still has to go through the legislative process, but to be honest with you, i was pleasantly pleased it retained a small business tax rate of 25%. it retained the top corporate rate of 20%. and one of the big things was, it allowed for expensing, full expensing of capital equipment in the year that it is spent. do you know how much cash i would be able to invest head of godfathers for everyone that i bought? that is sig is cans of that. it's a good start. let's hope they don't water it down so much it doesn't give the american people what we were hoping for. melissa: yeah. herman explain to the audience

quickly what is that difference? what difference it makes if you're allowed to do that with your expenses? >> easy. if you are a business, and buy an oven for one of my restaurants, head of godfathers, i had to depreciate that oven over a few years, which meant i paid more taxes spread out over a period of time, rather than deduct that as a business expense. melissa: right away. >> would leave me, right away leave me more cash could then invest opening up another restaurant. melissa: yep. >> that is the significance to probably 30 million small businesses out there. that happen to have capital expenditures. melissa: your business booms. the guy you bought the oven from, his business booms. you have another oven, selling more stuff. you have more people, the whole thing makes great sense herman cain, thank you. >> thank you. david: capitalism. melissa: exactly. david: speaking of capitalism, we have breaking news on earnings front. berkshire hathaway, the earnings are out. go back to lori with the

numbers. how do they look, lori? >> a little bit of a disappointment but the company blaming it on the weather disasters, hurricanes and weather in mexico. after hours, shares are down 1 1/2 of 1%, first blush reaction there. the adjusted earnings per share for third quarter, 2094. each share is very expensive. the earnings per share estimate was $2402 and change. i'm reading this directly from the press release, as you know, berkshire, huge conglomerate, many, many businesses but zeroing in on insurance companies, geico, general re, owned by berkshire. pre-tax underwriting loss of approximately $3 billion, attributable to hurricanes harvey, irma, maria, earthquake in mexico. david: tough time to be in the insurance business. melissa. melissa: the house tax plan is out. what will end up staying in the bill, once the senate gets hands

on it. that is the real question. steve forbes responds to the quote, half of a tax reform plan, coming up. david: if apple builds it, they will come. are you willing to spend 1000 bucks on the iphone x? ♪

>> are you going to buy the iphone x? >> i just got the 8. >> for it to be $1000 it would have to have exceptional features. >> maybe in a few months, because i know it will be a little more expensive. >> it looks pretty sexy. >> you own me, apple! david: long lines are back at apple. iphone x is in stores now. thousands are lining up, for what could be the company's biggest product ever. if you can imagine after all the success they had. melissa: wow. david: fox business's hillary

vaughn, apple store in l.a. the excitement is big on this coast. what about your coast, hillary? >> david, excitement, still very much here in the west coast. these people are waiting six, seven, eight hours, in line. still haven't even made it into the store. i want to introduce you to jordan, been here early this morning. what is it about the iphone x that makes you want to spend $1000? >> i think, i've always been with apple. so interesting to see with all the new stuff they come out with, features they ad, camera for me is always the most interesting part, but this one has a lot of different stuff. so like not having the fingerprint, stuff like that. i'm really interested to see, how different it is going to be. >> david, this line has been steady. that is causing kind of a problem for apple, because they said that they are facing a major backlog. he says, apple's ceo tim cook, he has no idea what is up is ply catches up with demand -- supply

catches up with demand. they said demand is off the chart but they are making a record low number of iphone xes available to consumers. the company now plans to make only 20 million phones available through the holidays and 50% drop from what they originally planned for. david, part of what is causing delay, very complicated 3d facial recognition technology. the glass on both sides if it breaks it will cost you $800 to fix that, if you don't have apple care. a lot of problems caused by the high-tech technology. david: like a car. you now have to get insurance for your iphone. it is extraordinary. hillary, thank you very much. >> exactly. david: melissa. melissa: president trump without his twitter account, can you imagine the horror? a rogue employee temporarily shutting down the account for 11 minutes and he noticed.

that is the best part. the worker was contractor, not full-time employee according to "new york times." the commander wasting no time upon his return, tweeting, my twitter account was taken down for 11 minutes by a rogue employee. i guess the word must finally be getting out, having a impact. david: turning it around in his favor. meanwhile president trump offering up a stern warning to islamic terrorists. vowing that the u.s. will fight back 10 times harder after the attack in new york city. former cia covert operations officer, mike baker is up next. melissa: allegations against a hollywood mogul keep rolling in. we have breaking details of charges against harvey weinstein. charges.

>> what we're doing every time we're attacked from this point forward, it took place yesterday, we're hitting then 10 times harder. when we have an animal do an attack like he did the other day on the westside of manhattan, we are hitting them 10 tiles -- times harder. they claimed him as a soldier. good luck. melissa: president trump vowing to fight back harder against isis with this terror attack in new york. those were his words when he left for joint base andrews from

the white house this morning. former cia covert operations officer mike baker joins us now. it was striking when he said that. that is not something we heard them in the past from other commanders in chief. do you think there is really that direct correlation between something happens and he goes and does something else? >> well, i mean, i think that he is serious, and, but i think always been a policy if we suffer an attack or even our allies suffer an attack we struck back and we done it with as much force as we can possibly muster and operational conditions that exist. i'm more of a speak softly, big stick person. as far as commander-in-chief, you know, a less tweeting might be gooding you know what? we are doing what we're doing. we're averaging, we're averaging a dozen airstrikes a day against isis targets in syria and iraq. we have been operating in, in africa, in east africa, somalia,

yemen, for quite a long time, actually, about 10 years against these targets. just recently, past day or so we had a couple airstrikes against isis targets in somalia. we've been going after al-shabaab there, which is a very dangerous al qaeda affiliate. but the airstrikes against isis targets is something new. that is a direct result of what the president was talking about in this truck attack. melissa: in some ways though, i mean americans, i think have been feeling very beaten down by the number of attacks that have gone on by the sense of vulnerability. by the fact you see jihadis targeting regular people, civilians, in a sense hearing something like that when americans are feeling vulnerable and, we have been through so much, and we have watched so much happen overseas, don't think it could do something to bolster the american spirit a bit, especially after we've seen the terrible pictures?

or does it sow more anger on sop of anger? >> well, i don't know. this is a really, really good question. that is well above my pay grade. actions are more important sometimes than words. we tend to, we have a great deal of success we don't publicize. maybe in a sense it's a good thing because i think you're absolutely correct. people are feeling somewhat beat down after the spate of attacks in europe and now this attack in new york city. but they shouldn't have any doubt we have a personnel and resources, devoted against this fight, with the war on terrorism. the general public is tired. we're all fatigued from it after all these years. but the terrorists aren't. they're still energized. of the good news, military, intel community, never taken the eye off the ball. they continue to do everything possible to dismantle terrorist operations, whether al qaeda affiliates or boko haram or isis

around the world. melissa: okay. >> and africa is a very good example. we've been operating in africa ever since 2001. it's a little bit disingenuous for folks on capitol hill to say how surprised we have troops in africa. i don't know what they have been doing. melissa: talk about the president's trip. he is expected to land in ha next couple hours to start off the 12-day trip through asia. tonight he will talk about the nuclear threat of north korea. a pacific governor's meeting. what is the significance of that you think? >> this shows that the administration is very, very focused on this region. and the fact that secretary mattis has been overto the dmz, into japan twice now, just during the course of this early days of this administration shows how serious they are about this. you know, the big question that hangs over this trip is, setting aside all the other issues, trade issues, the alliances what will kim jong-un do? will he do anything during the

course of this trip out to this part of the world? and, you know, even money is that he may well fly a missile, just to demonstrate the fact that he is out there and you know, put up a finger to the united states and to the president. so, yeah, the question then becomes what do we do in response? of course again, i think we're doing everything we can to -- this administration, to their credit, has changed the dialogue, they have changed the mind-set i think of china and others out there, to understand that we're not going to continue this useless diplomatic talk. melissa: definitely time for a change. >> we have military option. but we have to exert. melissa: we have to go. thank you so much. we appreciate your time. david: we also changed the dialogue as you mentioned on terrorism. instead of saying oh, it is just something we have to get used to we heard a lot of in the last administration. melissa: we're not understanding them or they need better jobs. david: we'll hit them 10 times harder. very simple and direct. gives us some hope for the

future. getting out the red pen. the house is set to mark up the republican tax plan to reform the nation's tax code on monday. what the changes could mean for you and your wallet. steve forbes, forbes media chairman breaking it all down coming next.

david: let the real debate begin. gop tax plan goes to mark up on monday in the house. what will it look like when it comes up for vote? who better to ask who has spent much of his life studying taxes and their effect on economy. steve forbes, fox media chairman and former presidential candidate and campaigned on flat tax. this is pretty far away from the deaths tax. >> junking up the code. phasing in death tax over six years. no one will count on that. david: facing in has never worked, has it? >> it is always counterproductive. having expensing of investments

out in five years. oh, congress will surely approve it f you're a business person, you can't count on that. on and on it goes. why would they politically do things like taking away medical deductions, student loan deduction, things that people think, why are you doing this to us if you're trying to help us out? david: "wall street journal" had a very critical piece in the editorial page today. half a tax reform, a pro-growth business plan but no growth on individual side. would i ask, isn't half a tax reform better than none? >> it is better than none but, even on the business side, they have got a little sneaker in there, we're examining it now, maybe a mini vat. this kind of thing, make it a simple cut? on the individual side, make it simple cut? reduce social security taxes we did temporarily a few years ago, so everyone get as tax cut? david: editorial in the journal harkened back to the reagan administration. i went back to the 198s, found

out what the original reagan tax plan in 1981 was. they had phases in. it was a disaster. took three years. it wasn't until it phased in, when you look at gdp numbers. had to go through recession, maybe wouldn't be as bad or wouldn't have happened at all if we did the cuts immediately. the reagan bill, reading from "the wall street journal," the reagan bill would leave intact 50% top rate on salary income. even ronald reagan had to give into pressure to leave the top rate very high. it wasn't until a few years later that he brought it down to 28%. >> but he did get the top rate of 70 down to 50. then in 1986, got it down miraculously to 28. david: the 70% was on earned, unearned income, money you get from stocks and everything. on salaried income it was at 50%. that didn't change into no. but what it did, it cut other brackets. so, you ended up even, if you're in the 50% bracket, you ended up

getting more. david: but my point is, this is a first shot, right? >> that is what they have to keep in mind. this is where they put themselves in a straitjacket david with fake numbers from the congressional budget office. david: they're awful. they're always wrong. >> they're always wrong. why go with the make-believe numbers? go with a tax cut. they will get people riled up. am i getting a tax cut? fooling around with property taxes and things like that. david: why are so slavish to institution that always provided wrong numbers in the long run. >> it is inexplicable as somebody said. why do some people still believe in witches? this thing they have been wrong so long. they always underestimate the impact of a tax cut. so knowing that, why didn't they do their own numbers. we assume 3 1/2%. if we had 3 1/2% growth rate last 10 years we would have a budget surplus today. david: steve, i will ask the melissa francis, wrap-up question, you're on a scale of one to 10 with, 10 being what is

it medical list, is a blessed certitude. melissa: blessed certitude. david: 10 for a tax cut. >> they know they have to have to doing there will be a lot of uber drivers next career with disappointed voters. if you can't get a tax cut through republican congress, my goodness, what are you doing there. david: that is why republicans were put on this earth to cut taxes. steve forbes, thank you very much. melissa. melissa: breaking developments in the harvey weinstein scandal. new york city police investigators believe a 2010 rape allegation made against the disgraced movie mogul, is quote credible. we'll talk to "tmz" founder harvey levin for details next.
