10:01 pm

10:02 pm
matter why not mitch mcconnell calling for franken to resign. we'll have a full report. and also new reports white house shake up could be in works, president trump reportedly considering a plan to oust secretary of of state tillerson, replace him with cia director pompeo, nominate senator cotton to head cia. here we go. hang on. we take all that up here. our top story, president in past 10 monthed. staved off the attacks of dem, deep state, left wing media and republican establishment. tonight, he is on verge of historic victory, namely passage of his tax reform proposal. as it stands house passed tax bill attacks cuts -- tax cuts and jobsable. and senate has moved through committee partisan votes, passage at this hour, dare i say
10:03 pm
it, seems to be approaching assurance. next step is underway. amendments that will continue into the evening, then votes with key republicans in the majority supporting the legislation. >> we're in the stretch. you know horse racing is a big deal in kentucky, we're going down the homestretch toward the finish line, either late tonight or early tomorrow. lou: president trump and republicans more unified donate than any time in his presidency, and on verge of accomplishing more than republicans have dared to imagine. in more than three decades. our first guest, one of president's most important cabinet members, a rising star, who is critical to driving the president's agenda, mick
10:04 pm
mulvaney. mr. director good to have i with us. >> thank you. lou: i have to be, i know at least in some part, excited at the prospects that look so dim in pos lilpy just a -- possibility just a week ago. >> regarding the taxes, yes. there were some critical votes over course of the last 24 hours, yesterday was a motion to proceed, that was critical, we got every vote in republicans on that. today i believe a motion to recommit this bill to committee, which failed. that is critical for us. things have gone well. lou: and now, the issue is triggers and how much you will be able to cut in the way of rates. give us your understanding where we are right now in raising those rates by -- necessity.
10:05 pm
>> i think this is how the system is supposed to work this is how legislation is supposed to get made it looks a little ugly from outside, but the fact, this is how it is supposed to work froms beginning. what is critical our priorities are still preserved, middle class folks, paying less with a simpler tax system, a fair tax system. that corporate tax lowered, they are in the house bill, they are still in senate bill, there are details being worked out. but from administration stand point our principles are still preserved. lou: and rate in terms of corporate tax rate, moving higher, president has had to yield a bit in the horse trading.
10:06 pm
and bargaining. 22% right now. he wanted 15. where is the president, is he onboard with the direction right now? the senate? >> i think, if you would ask president he would still like original 15. but we agreed to each 20, that is within the house bill. if the senate does happen to pass it at something else, 21 or 22, then those who are factors will have reconcile before final passage, this is how system works, if you end up in a situation warehouse passes 20, senate passes 20, we know that will be 20, if house passes 20. and senate 21 or 22, final number may between. principles have been preserved, the process is working, it looks like we have, we can see finish line. lou: a quote from the director
10:07 pm
of office of management and budget 3 years ago. talking about consumer financial protect bureau. there it is, mick mulvaney, congressman then, said a wonderful example how a bureaucracy could function, if it has no accountability to anyone, it turns up being a joke, that is who the cfpb really is. you are now the acting director. and has our out look or agency itself improved. >> no. i want to make it clear, i think many people who work there are very professional, first week has been smoothly, i have had great meetings, the structure is fundamentally flawed. authority that i have now,
10:08 pm
really should frighten people, you can sit down in a room with 3 or 4 people, and say let's do this, there is no awo accountaby to congress, i could set the budget without congress. on one hand people call it independent, but bottom line it is unaccounaccountable. this is how i explain it. if they end up shortened. there is nobody they can complain to, they cannot complaint to president, senators or members of the house. that is wrong, i am hopeful it will change. until it does we'll limit as much as we can to interfere with capitalism and financial service market. lou: and against congratulations to moving forward, legal victory this week to assure the
10:09 pm
departing head of the agency richard cordray could not appoint his own successor, seems ludicrous from a distance. this is stuff of high drum in washington, d.c. >> as i said to folks, this was always going to happen, if anyone was over there working and support. warren thought that agency would be independent from this president forever, that was never going to happen. the president was going to get a chance to appoint a successor. now or in july. so, my fear is a lot of folks, including the woman now purporting to be acting director thought they would be, beholden to obama administration, but if someone else won they would not
10:10 pm
have to be beholden to them this not right, president of u.s. has right to have influence and that is what we're doing. lou: idea of an independent agency, no meter the agency should be frightening to every taxpayer. or citizen. direct -- >> no surprise, that we're having only real challenge to the peaceful succession of power. is coming from this agency, that is founded on not being accountable. i am glad to see court ruled the way it did this week. i look forward to doing the work that president wants to do, it has been a fun couple of days. lou: thank you s so much. >> thank you. lou: we're coming right back, more ahead. stay with us. >> nancy pelosi reversing her stance on embattled icons.

10:56 pm
he actually -- bullet ricocheted. hit the concrete about 15 feet in front of them then her 78 feet away. lou: i know that we're supposing and we're some way fills on fizzing on this, but, why not manslaughter, if he is responsible, because he was convicted of possession of the gun that fired the bullet, that killed her? >> that is an excellent question. we'll have it talk ta jurors about, that a crowded dock, you fire a weapon, you have to be held responsible for what happens as a result. that i cannot answer. but, generally when a couple of jurors talk about their deliberations we're learn what they were thinking. lou: turn to tax reform, debate goes on, in senate they have mitch mcconnell, has delayed vote, until tomorrow.

10:58 pm
coarse of 8 years are barack obama? for crying out loud! we have an opportunity here for this president, to drive this economy even farther, look at what he as done in 10 months. it is incredible. >> you know deficit is right up there with filibuster as vehicle for most intense hypocrisy in u.s. senate no doubt, you are right, you had senators on democratic sider, who were not concerned when deficit went through the roof during the obama years, and republicans not concerned when it went up during the george w. bush years, that said, it is pretty clear, the republicans want to pass this thing, i think they will find a vehicle to satisfy deficit concerns, then, if they get to 51, let's say if they lose one member. then they might get a few democrats to go along. remember, you have democrats who
