charlie hurt among or guests. good night from new york. [♪] kennedy: all eyes on alabama as voters repair for tomorrow's big special election. will roy moore pull it off. new york city on evening after a pipe bomb went off in a subway station in new york. steve bannon warning to take the russia investigation seriously. alabama republicans have a horrible choice to make tomorrow. it's election day and they have to decide which part of their owl to kill. one that likes unborn babies or the one that protect protects yg

children. roy moore is a slippery politician who gave hannity a greasy answer when he was first asked about the claims he was a molester. >> you understand this is 40 years ago. after i returned from the military i dated a lot of young ladies. >> do you remember dating them at the time? >> no. >> you don't remember having any girlfriend in her late teens at that time? >> i don't remember that and i don't remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother. kennedy: there were different cultural norms back then, but fibbing has never been in

fashion. now his remembrances have taken a more forceful tone. >> these allegations are completely false. i did not date underage women. i did not molest anyone. so these allegations are false. kennedy: generally. tomorrow is judgment day. voters get to peer into his heart. is he a victim or a pervert. with the polls stacked against him and a zero tolerance mob mentality, the math doesn'ted a up to one more sicko in the senate. welcome to the show, i'm kennedy. about 12 hours to go until voting begins. who is going to pull this off.

there is only one person to ask, chris stirewalt joins the show. welcome back, chris. you are the on person on earth who has the proper insight. let's talk about this. would a moore victory be a bigger gift to the democrats than republicans? >> to a certain degree they will make roy moore the face of the republican party. you are starting to see that come out clearly today. so i think to a certain degree it doesn't matter because moore will be the democratic mind they will use them no matter what. he will be sitting in the united states senate. if he's there with narrow majorities, you will say how is senator moore going to vote on this. that will be a lot of heartburn for the gop. kennedy: he hasn't been accused of being sane for a couple of decades. let's talk about this fox news

poll that has jones up by 10 points in alabama. the real clear politics average is only 3 points in moore's favor. where is the truth in this polling? >> this is a very difficult race to survey because we don't have a predicate for this. as senate races in alabama don't matter was the primaries are determinative. this is a very unusual case. not only is it a competitive general election but it's a special election which normally would get less participation. but because of all the national attention the turnouts will be high. i will say we have the best pollsters in america. our polls in virginia and new jersey were sweet, sweet candy. worked out really well. i'm super proud of our guys. i have got to listen to what they are saying. what they say is doug jones has

a big lead. kennedy: i don't blame the people doing the polling. i think it's difficult to couple a methodology. it's even harder to get people to answer the phone and discuss these things honestly. the outcome in the virginia governor's race was different than the polling suggested. there wrath northham ended up winning by 9 points. >> i'm not saying we are the best, i'm just saying maybe we are the best. kennedy: it will be an interesting night. i will be on air tomorrow night with neil cavuto bringing you every delicious morsel. in a new robocall the * is doing his very best to get voters to support roy moore. >> get out and vote for roy moore. his vote is our republican senate and it's needed. we need roy to help us with the

republican senate. we'll win and we'll make america great again. kennedy: democratic contender doug jones is crisscrossing the state with cory booker to drum up support from black voters. katie frates is here along with one of our favorites, comedian jimmy failla, and american majority ceo ned ryun is here. welcome back, everyone. let's talk about the battle of robocalls. it's president trump versus former president obama. ways going to make a difference here? >> i'm not a believer in robocalls so i'm not sure what the impact will be. robocalls had minimal impact on

deciding people's votes and cutting any real impact on get out the vote. i think obama's robocalls could be damaging to jones. i think moore is going to squeak this race out much tighter than it should be in a state like alabama. kennedy: what happens when roy moore wins? people say roy wins, he takes the oath of office. and then he immediately resigns and the republican governor appoints a republican senator. >> the first thing that happens is doug jones dies of embarrassment. your friends don't let you live that down. >> people have very high levels of shame. >> when he was talking to hannity, he said i asked their

mothers for permission. there is no woman of age who needs her mother's permission to hang out with you. to me that was the indictment. kennedy: i don't remember ever dating anyone without their mother's permission. >> that's the tell right there. kennedy: that says he was dating the daughters of single moms. >> they need to decide do they care more about abortion or moore being really icky? and that's a difficult decision for anyone to make. but they have to decide, is it more damage together country and to my state to have a democrat in office or am i going to deal

with roy moore? >> these are serious allegations, these allegations versus pro-life issues. i do think the abortion issue is a sleeving issue. jones is pro-choice and moore pro-life. >> the one thing right now that's happened in the media, they discredited themselves so many times -- >> you hit on a point, the mainstream media has been so hard after roy moore, it has been a knee jerk reaction for voters in alabama. kennedy: if he loses he gets to blame the swamp and the media, and voters inial alabama and places like alabama, threat already despise those two

institutions. if he wins united states senator, they cannot unseat him. they find what he has done to be unsavory. that's for the voters to decide. am i wrong about that? >> i felt the same when al franken resigned. i thought it was minnesota's decision to decide whether they want him in office. let them decide. kennedy: don't miss our special election coverage on fbn. the alabama senate race, how tight will it be? what will the outcome show is and will it be a long night. a major scare in new york city after a bomb went off in a subway massageway. it happened at the port authority a block from times square. the 27-year-old bangladeshi man

had a pipe bomb strapped to his chest. it went off injuring three people include knowledge the suspect himself. he's now? custody with burns to his hands and arms. the department homeland security tells us he got into the country by family chain migration which the president has been railing against for years. police say he was inspired by isis. with christmas and new year's around the corner, what are authorities doing to keep us safe? buck sexton, you have been on the story all day long. what do you think happened? do you think it accidentally detonated and was head for one of the major subway terminals where people were waiting to get on one of those morning trains? >> it's hard to tell.

he was not a skilled bomb maker and that prevented this from being a mass casualty attack. the news cycle is he's such an imbecile, look another dumb terrorist, no one died. this was a suicide bomber. people should use that term. he had a suicide vest on. i see it reported as a pipe bomb strapped to his chest. i have seen those many times in the field and seen those at home. that's a suicide vest. it's not just a way he was carrying a pipe bomb. kennedy: what about the car attacks that we have seen. >> if he had gone with a car attack, one of my concerns is on the for would-be jihadis out there will say doing the diy

bomb maker is much less likely to creating mass casualties. from the isis narrative perspective this was the infiltration of an ideologically aligned jihadist who could have blown up and lot of people. they will say okay, fine, this one you got lucky. we'll get you with the next one and you will spends a lot of money and time trying to defeat these attacks. people will be anxious and worried. so it's mixed. no casualties, no deaths. but the story line coming out of this should be much less, another imbecile terrorist. the under wear bomb was close to bringing down an entire plane and christmas day over detroit. yes it didn't happen, but it could have.

kennedy: the intents was there. it will be interesting how they piece this together. what other people was he talking to? what is the path to radicalization? can it be spotted and stopped? >> the biggest question i have is was he radicalized in this country tore was he radicalized in bangladesh? bangladesh kinds of flies awnders the radar as a hotbed of jihad around the world. but in fact al qaeda operates in bangladesh, the islamic state has a franchise there. kennedy: i know we have seen a resurgence of al qaeda. are they operating differently than isis? they were going for the caliphate, and that is failing. is al qaeda coming in to fill that void with this new version

of terrorism? >> there is no question al qaeda sees this as an opportunity to reassert itself as the primary jihadists. there is an opportunity to copy what was successful as a propaganda perspective of isis. ideologically there is not much difference. but the overall goal of a global caliphate is the same. kennedy: to destroy freedom. >> it is to destroy freedom. we think about it being preposterous, they are playing a long game. not too long ago, they had a caliphate that was the most of powerful entity in the world. in the meantime we have to worry

every time we buy and christmas present or walk around the streets in our hometown. kennedy: republicans are scrambling to finalize their tax plan. marsha blackburn does the path next. -- does the math next. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does.

and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. you myour joints...thing for your heart... or your digestion... so why wouldn't you take something for the most important part of you... your brain. with an ingredient originally found in jellyfish, prevagen is now the number one selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide. prevagen. the name to remember.

kennedy: as republicans rush to finalize a combined tax bill, some lawmakers are concerned about how americans will feel about it. the "wall street journal" reported on big problems with something called the marginal tax rate. tennessee congress one and marsha blackburn. let's discuss the plan. it's scary thinking this marginal tax rate may go up to 100% for people. what does that seen in. >> there is a lot of hype in the media. we have a senate plan and a house plan. if you were to take maybe the worst provisions of each plan and try to come up with

something you would end up with a bill that adversely impacts folks. our goal is to make sure everybody gets tax relief and make certain this willr will grow the economy, and get marginal rates down, not up. i think you will seat marginal rates continue to come down and you will see business rates after he ply to all the pass-through entities. the marginal rate applies to individual tax filers. you have got rates of 12, 25, 35, and 39 1/2. there all these different rates if you look at the house and the senate bill. kennedy: they compressed the rates. there are only four breaks the. >> for individual filers. so when you double that standard deduction and finds where you

are going to fit in that structure, that is what the marginal rate is that applies to you. what our goal is, on the house side, is to have fewer rates and get them as low as we possibly can get them. one of the things to remember, kennedy, a lot of our pass-through entities, your llcs, sub-s partnerships, our main street merchants. kennedy: mom and pop shops. kennedy: those are the entities they become. they are not giant corporations. they should not be treated like walmart or apple. there are some who worry these entities are getting hosed. >> we want to get the business rate applying to them, the 20% or 22%. wherever we end up with that rate.

so on the first 75,000 worth of income. in the house we have a 9% rate on that. then put that business rate on it. the reason for that is jobs growth and shire wages. and we want to see that gdp growth in the economy as a whole. so you have to work with the individual filer having more money in their pocketbook and reset their withholding. the main street merchants and businesses being able to hire and grow those businesses and corporations expanding jobs and wage growth. kennedy: i don't think the republican messengers have done a good job explaining how the corporate rate helps the economy. and i think republicans are losing that battle. and democrats are saying this is only helping wealthy people and corporations and people who make a bunch of money and it will screw over the little person.

i believe when you bring the corporate rate down that drastically that's when the economy will explode in a positive way. >> once you lower that wait, what is going to happen? people are going to now that money back into growing those businesses. there are two significant come own interest to seeing jobs growth take place. one is getting raid of the individual mandate and the affordable care act, obamacare. get that out of there. it's driving up the cost of insurance. in tennessee insurance costs have gone up 176% since obamacare went on the books. lower the tax rate. this way they will be able to hire 60 people. they will be able to grow businesses. they will pay more in wages. that's what people wanted to see. we look at the numbers that came out last friday. good numbers.

the gdp and jobs. let's get ourselves to 4%. instead of 225,000 jobs, let's go for 300,000 or 400,000 jobs. kennedy: the other thing i want people to realize. those who have small businesses, fewer than 50 people. 's all they do when they have extra money they pour it into their business. they are literally considering marketing and labor and other ways of make their business grow. that's what we forget with people who have small businesses in this country. that's why it's the american dream. when you succeed that's the ultimate dream. >> i talk to people in tennessee every day who say we are so excited to getting a thanks cut. knowing they will have access to that business rate and knowing

the marginal rates will come down. they are already dreaming those big dreams. what they will do for jobs retraining. look at programs that will help them with the jobs retraining for people to come in and work in these companies, pricing out equipment. i think this is a very exciting time. kennedy: it will be a boost for business and technology. i'm buying our selling when you are talking about boosting the economy and growing small businesses. coming up. steve bannon is reportedly warning the president to take the investigation more seriously.

the russia investigation will be wrapped up by the new year. is bannon right to be concerned? let me ask judge andrew napolitano. >> in a word, yes. bannon is right to be concerned and the president should be concerned. the same lawyer who said it would be over with by the new year, said it would be over with by thanksgiving. if general flynn had been charged, prosecuted and convicted and sentenced toot max on all the five crimes for which the special counsel says he has evidence of guilt he would be facing 60 years in a federal prison. as a result of his guilty plea he's facing 6 months. what causes someone like bob mueller to reduce 60 years to 6 months. it's not going to be good news

for the president. kennedy: the president himself different seems as though because of the counsel the president is receiving and he's giving his staff, that there are those in the white house who feel the president won't be touched in this probe and the leaks we heard and the indictments we have seen and even flynn's plea shows this has not created a trap for the president. what do you think? >> i think the president is in legal jeopardy and i wish he had a more aggressive legal team. when you are being investigated by fbi agents and federal prosecutors you should always run scared. you should run as if the worst is going to happen. it doesn't matter if he did anything wrong. if they are going to charge him with something, they are going to charge him. >> they can look as far and wide as they need to and they will

find something. has the president been approaching this wrong? has he been approaching this as a political campaign and mueller is a political opponent as opposed to a legal conundrum? >> his outside lawyers want to give bob mueller everything they ask for. white house legal counsel says this is creating a terrible precedent for the presidency that we should surrender everythingth this independent counsel wants. we may want to claim a privilege to test the president's power to frustrate this guy. what should the president do? he shouldn't be calling it a witch hunt. but his legal team should be more circumspect and aggressive. there was a joint defense agreement between general flynn and others. you don't point fingers at us,

we don't point fingers at you. they withdrew from that. why? the general told his friends because the president threw him under the bus. you don't throw somebody under the bus who can bring your house down when you are confronted with an independent counsel who doesn't answer to the justice department in the ordinary way. kennedy: when do you see this ending? >> sometime in 2018. general flynn must have given bob mueller something about someone north of him. one of whom is the president of the united states. kennedy: you open up a world of less than optimistic precedents for the president. great to see you again.

president trump's approval ratings are at the lowest point of his presidency. but he's doing significantly better when it comes to handling the economy. according to the "wall street journal," 42% of voters approve of the jobe's doing on the economy while 37% disapprove. friday's jobs reports adding 28,000 jobs. unemployment at a 17-year low. is it safe to assume strong economic numbers can help the president overkomenter political liabilities? the party panel is back. katie, i'll start off with you. i think that if you are doing well in the economy, people may hate you. but they don't care about that hatred if their bottom line is improving. >> so you don't like the president's personality, and you hate his tweets. but that has no bearing on if

the things he's doing in office are helping you and your family and friends and your state and county. i'm not overly shocks the poll isn't bert for him. kennedy: that's never where his success has rested. >> people vote with their pocketbooks and pocketbooks are doing well. we have had 3/4, 3% growth in a row. if they can get the tax plan done correctly, if you get to 4% to 5% growth, the media can say whatever they want to about trump. he will get re-elected. kennedy: people's 401ks are doing bert and people have more money to spend. a lot is forgiven. >> who are these 37% who don't

approve? i don't get that? what more do you want? i have friends with my level of interest atlantic who want to go into day trading again. we've have to get bitcoin. that thing is up, bro. it's soaring. >> i think we are headed in that direction. what are the democrats going to run on if they get this tax plan through and the economy starts to take off. what are they have going to run on? kennedy: resistance to a good economy? but you have hate winning? there really are people -- >> if the bill passes they need him around. kennedy: they figure they will pick up the seat somewhere else. thank you so much. great to see you. the president is lark out at the

media after a slew of false stories were reported about him. would the mainstream media rather point the president in a negative light than get the story straight? chris bedford joins me

next.

kennedy: president trump hasn't been in office a year, and the media has done so much

retracting they are sick of retract. friday saw cnn and a reporter at "the washington post" apologizing to the president for the russia probe and the attendance at his rally in florida. but the president wasn't having any of it. correct reporting means nothing to them and major lies forced to be withdrawn after her exposed are a stain on america. is the president right to say the media is out of control? joining us, the author of the book "the art of the donald. " chris bedford returns. cnn gleefully ran with the story that the cnn proved russia

collusion. and the email was stamped september 4. what really happened? >> they were so excited to tell this story. i woke up to find a big hillary clinton bombshell the newspapers had gone the egg on their face and had to retract. the closest i could find is the "new york times" saying hillary clinton is being investigated by the doj which turned out to be true. you a anonymous source, all basically democratic staffers. if you looked at the email it's obvious who the person is who sent it. an aviation executive. and when it was sent.

and none of that story makes sense and it all falls apart it's fake news. kennedy: it shows whatever standards and editorial procedures that were suppose to be in place failed because they didn't look at the emails with their own eyeballs. they are going off second hands information at best. is the part the lack of contrition and apology and being straightforward in the screwup? >> i think so. abc apologized and suspended the reporter for four weeks without pay and said he couldn't cover trump anymore. it was a pretty big slap on the wrist. kennedy: -- >> cnn has not done that. cnn considers itself part of resistance. they said their editorial

standards were followed and their source are trusted. they have should disclose who their sources are because they have misled multiple reports. they are assuming malice. if you assume the person you are reporting on is a bad news, you might skip over to important fact checking. so stories like this will get through. kennedy: that's not truth, not's not reporting, and that's not the responsibility of a responsible, objective press. coming you have, we'll tell you who won coming back. hold on to those betting slips. you might be the big winner. "topical storm" is next. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same.

but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. you may be at increased risk for pneumococcal pneumonia, that can take you out of the game for weeks, even if you're healthy. pneumococcal pneumonia is a potentially serious bacterial lung disease that in severe cases can lead to hospitalization. it may hit quickly, without warning, causing you to miss out on the things you enjoy most. prevnar 13® is not a treatment for pneumococcal pneumonia... it's a vaccine you can get to help protect against it. prevnar 13® is approved for adults to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause
