midterms. roy moore is done. the last time we will see sassy the horse on the way to the ballot box. cheryl: i'm sure many democrats this morning are celebrating the fact they do have another vote in the senate and we already have a pretty tight voting window for things to get done in washington. what do you think jones will do in a reform? >> i think he's going to do what the people of alabama sent him to do and that is to do the right thing. last night was a strong message of rejection of the treaty, hate, and all the things that clearly divide us in our politics and i'm proud to people of alabama sent a strong message. are the people who counted may candidate out, last night was a very strong message and the array. lauren: this certainly reinvigorate democrats going

forward. forward, with tax reform come it doesn't seem to make up the total county and everything is said and done that a dow jones victory could even affect tax reform should it be done this year. >> of its done this year, doug jones won't affect that this year. he should be done by december 26 at the latest early january. this so much that i would be cautious to republicans because they should be wary going forward about candidate selection because there is a chance they could lose to houston 2018 as well as the senate. they have to be mindful of that going forward. i don't think tracks the trumpet jammed in the near future but it does in 2018 because we now only have a one vote majority. cheryl: let's talk about the steve been in effect. >> immune rejection of steve

bannon a fact. cheryl: got mitch mcconnell on one side who does not endorse raymore and got trying to come around, but this shows potentially that maybe steve bannon is not good for the republican party. >> it's going to be bannon blaming see steve bannon is the genius he thinks he is. her republicans in this race for the nomination. luther strange and raymore and with or without the obligations, roy moore was the worst pic of the crew. the other two could have one that's going away. hopefully we won't see the battle another key races like arizona and tennessee going forward. is in this kind of jeopardy because they try to get their act together and get on the same page and put forth the best general election candidate. >> you sound like a democrat

election, but also as someone responsible for changing the language of hillary clinton: you're extremely careless. we find out he is a big hillary proponent, his president trump if you read these messages. does this lead to another investigation? >> you're absolutely right. this investigation is utterly compromised in the intelligence committee is absolutely investigating this. i would like to catch viewers attention to the most disturbing and presidential aspects are not that agent strzok are calling then candidate trump names. there were a whole host of tax highly prejudicial and a multitude of arena family to draw their attention to a few. one example they discussed taxing about hillary clinton so it couldn't be traced. he played a key role in the investigation of hillary clinton and including interviewing her and general flynn. he also texted agent page, i

love congress in all caps. upon testimony before the house and elections committee, how does that bode for his credibility? the prejudice they expected highly prejudicial. agent page to page and strzok maybe are meant to stay where you are to protect the country from that menace. but that's not a smoking gun i don't know what is. trying to reshape ad also sending us here that's very interesting. in 2016 during the dossier when the trump dossier was received, remember the strzok oversaw the interviews with michael flynn. he oversaw those interviews as well. again, someone from what fox news has obtained the text messages looks prejudicial and likely against michael flynn who while he's cooperating could maybe change the flynn

investigation now. >> exactly. to draw an analogy to criminal courts or even civil courts, if there is this level of prejudice exhibited by a prosecutor or attorney and the united states, the case would be thrown out. there's no way a sitting judge would allow this level of prejudice to be exhibited by any attorney on it. all of these investigations are not tainted frankly. none of this should be allowed to go on. now that the interviews are supposedly done by moeller, there's more to uncover. train to wish we had my time at the appearance of an incredible twists and turns the story that we should mention fox news obtaining those messages. unlike companion, thank you very much. cheryl: wildfires raging in southern california. what could that mean putting insurance industry. in the northeast, baby it's cold outside.

twitter. they played a very big are but a win is a win. the people of alabama are great in republicans will have another shot at the seat in a very short period of time. because this was a special election to fill the remaining term of just session who left the senate to become attorney general, doug jones will have to run for reelection in 2020. alabama gop issued a statement saying they are conservative and have no intention of moving towards policies of the democratic party. but he aligns himself with the liberal democrats in washington, alabama voters will remember his choices in the 2020 u.s. senate election. joseph said he would reach across the aisle to republicans that many in the gop remain skeptical. back to you guys. cheryl: jonathan serrie, live in alabama. thank you. lauren: we asked what doug jones

it may strengthen the gop in a longer-term basis. cheryl: mitch mcconnell is having an emergency meeting as roy moore had one this morning to talk about how they were going to deal with that. if you look at doug jones politics, we know he's pro-choice, pro-second amendment. he's made month on health care save the needs to be fixed. can they view them as the more moderate democrat or as the president says of chuck and nancy. >> certainly not a moderate democrat. it is stunning that we have such a liberal democrat who has won in a state like alabama which is usually a solid red state. i don't think it's about the republican party for donald trump you this is roy moore who felt the accusation against him. any other republican would've run this race. but there's strange would have won in a landslide that

whittemore was a flawed candidate who faced constant attacks and this is a harsh reminder that quality candidate control is critical in every single race regardless where you are running. lauren: i agree with you, christine. i can't help but think that when you win and want to be reelected in such a red state is alabama, you might have to go into the mansion or donnelley camp and be a more conservative democrat. >> gag gag, a stunning win for jones, but also a very unusual circumstance. remember come in this seat is up for reelection shortly and jones will have a hard time winning again in alabama given his very far left stands on issues like abortion. cheryl: we will see what this means next year particularly. we expect dow jones to be sworn

[inaudible conversations] interest rate increase is relatively slow. what is the exception on small business? >> i think it's a cumulative effect we will have to start paying attention to. this is the rate hike in the last two years in the fed will clearly send a signal that there is more to come in 2018. while the impact of one single quarter-point interest rate hike will see today is pretty inconsequential as a cumulative

effect over time it does start to build. tranter when they start to redo their economic forecasts, do you think they might have about "the wall street journal" survey says they are cited for three to interest rate increases next year. if we get tax reform in the economy hopefully grows faster we'll see even more interest rate hikes and how would that affect small business? >> that is certainly possible. with the dominus could fall as a free gift uncertainty with regard to the tax legislation, if that does lead to faster economic growth and/or higher inflation, those are the factors that could cause the fed to be more aggressive with interest rates in 2018. that is only going to add to the cumulative effect. i don't think the rising interest rates, not that fully office at the tax reform to small businesses, but it will be a bit of a headwind at a time when more businesses are willing to take the risk and borrow money with the borrowing costs

higher. traded the first formal meeting if he will come in the first public session today at the conference committee to talk about the tax bill and learning that details the corporate tax rate of 21% of top individual rate of 37%. can you talk to me about what is going on in your expect patience for the pass-through rate for the small business owners they pay on their individual taxes. >> you know, that one's a bit of a political football. if there is one provision, subject to revision in committee, not when it's going to be at. the widespread recognition that we are going to get a higher corporate tax rate and that will certainly benefit the small businesses that pay on the corporate tax rates. unlike large corporations, which are more likely to take the windfall and increase dividends, they are more likely to take the

windfall and do things like extend their hiring and product lines, grow production and those sort of things. they will grow the business and investing in the economy. lauren: of president trump cauldron the phone phone, would make things are for small biz is, what would you say. >> you've got a favorable economic environment. they are still low. a lot of businesses looking for clarity and the ability to pass along higher prices in customers. good to see you. thank you. >> thanks for having me. cheryl: coming up, too. coming up in sports, shining for the l.a. lakers, but the new york knicks still stealing the show. average over former nfl quarterback colin capper next with prison inmate. you are watching "fbn:am".
