is the couch getting bigger? it looked bigger. that's monday, "happening now" starts right now. thanks for being here. >> jon: we start with a fox news alert, president trump telling business owners tax reform will unleash america's competitive spirit like never before. hello and welcome to the second hour of "happening now," i'm jon scott. >> heather: to a group of american manufacturers in washington. the manufacture response to the devastation in puerto rico >> there are literally starting from scratch. ultimately the government of puerto rico will have to work with us to determine how this massive rebuilding effort will end up being one of the biggest ever, will be funded. we will not rest until the

people of puerto rico are safe. >> jon: president trump turned to taxes, saying reform means american companies will no longer be at a competitive disadvantage with those based overseas. >> under my administration, the era of economic surrender is over and the rebirth of american industry is beginning. >> jon: kevin corke is live on the white house with more on what the president has up his sleeve. >> this was right in the president's wheelhouse, talking business and tax policy, business owners and ceos, the president talking about tax reform plan. the biggest, most beautiful, massive, largest ever in our country tax cut. did you get all that? you can tell he was obviously quite enthusiastic about the ideas, the president as you know believes cutting taxes for

businesses and small corporations as well as purchasing equipment will simply put american business on more fair, firm footing for years to come. >> we will cut taxes on american businesses to restore our competitive edge, to create more jobs and higher wages for the american worker. the last major tax reform was passed more than 30 years ago in 1986 with a large bipartisan majority, that sounds so nice. wouldn't that be nice? >> it would be nice, it's a whole new world out here in washington compared to 1986. another major element the president has been talking about is this idea of repatriating massive amounts of money that up and parked overseas because of existing u.s. tax policy. >> our framework, and you have to remember, you see what's

happening with companies and offshore, encourages american companies to bring back trillions of dollars in wealth parked overseas. our current tax code actually punishes companies for keeping their headquarters in america and discourages them from bringing back the profits they earned overseas. republicans and democrats have always said we want that money to come back. they all agree and they still never got it done. we are going bring everybody together and we're going to get that done. >> clearly the white house is expecting more democratic support for this idea of major tax reform, it certainly won't be as difficult as pushing the boulder of health care reform up the money held. but they are confident it will get enough democrats to make it happen, we will see. >> jon: kevin corke at the white house, thank you. while president trump is hoping to make tax reform a major

legislative win, he backed a losing candidate in this week's senate primary runoff in alabama. conservative challenger roy moore defeated senator luther strange to the president endorsed, as did senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, that is raising all kinds of questions in washington about the prospects for mainstream republicans in the 2018 midterm midterms. roy moore calls his victory a win for the president. >> together we can make america great. we can support the president. don't let anybody in the press think that because he supported my opponent that i do not support him. and support his agenda. as long as it's constitutional. >> jon: joining us now, national political correspondent for "the washington post" and author for the daily two oh two. as republicans look at this roy

moore victory, what's on their minds? >> all the moderate republicans and capitol hill are freaked out this week, not only did roy moore win who they are very concerned about, also the senate chairman of foreign relations, a moderate from tennessee announced retirement a couple of weeks ago. there are some other senators and congressmen who everyone is watching to see if they are going to retire now that roy moore one in alabama, maybe this is a bad environment to be an establishment republican because there is so much anger and frustration. there is no general despondency among moderates and of fear, even the kind of people who are establishment conservatives are very vulnerable. a lot of concern coming out of this week. a feeling that $10 million was

spent by mitch mcconnell to try to stop roy moore in the primary, they were unsuccessful. you not going to be able to buy your way out of this problem, that's the mentality on capitol hill. >> jon: senator jeff flake is one who's expressed some concern about roy moore's nomination, saying he doesn't share my politics even though they are of the same political party. what's that all about. >> you talk to senators the day after that, a lot of the establishment republicans want to pretend like roy moore didn't exist. when you asked about roy moore's position on some of the social issues, they feigned ignorance. they don't -- they are excited to have another republican vote but they certainly aren't embracing him. the concern among the establishment on capitol hill is that he's going to be another

figure, that he's not going to want to compromise and make big deals with democrats. frankly, a lot of alabama boaters would say good, we don't want that. the concern is that you are going to have someone else in the senate who's not interested in being a deal maker and there was already so much partisanship that that could make it hard to get this done. on the other side, there are ten democrats in the senate up for reelection next year in states that donald trump won in 2016. a couple of them could end up losing and it's very likely you will have very conservative candidates replacing them, they are more moderate democrats and they have to get reelected in states that the president carried by 20 or 30 points. in practice, it means there's going to be fewer moderates in the senate, 2019, that means less bipartisan deals and that will change the fundamental nature of the senate. >> jon: for eight years specifically, conservatives in

this country were chasing the fact that a liberal barack obama was occupying the oval office. now they've got donald trump in the oval office, are those who were so disenchanted with president obama, are they turning their anger on some of their own political leaders? >> when you look at the voters, people don't like mitch mcconnell and paul ryan. i think in some ways, the president has turned a lot of his supporters against republican leaders, failure to get a lot of things done, trump has sort of effectively blamed them rather than democrats for

these failures. they have been reluctant to punch back too hard, they don't have the kind of platform the president does. they are the ones left holding the bag. >> jon: they don't have 40 million twitter followers, either. probably come back. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> heather: will switch gears, a fox news alert for you. at least 10,000 federal workers are now on the ground overseeing relief efforts in puerto rico after hurricane maria. frustrations have been growing amid a shortage of food, water, fuel, and other critical supplies. live in puerto rico with the very latest. >> there are many parts of the island where communication is an issue, the only way we were able to communicate right now, many of the cell towers, the majority of them are still down. the theme of the federal

government have been sending an abundance of supplies and the island. a lot of the surprise or simile not able to get there because of the roads and the drivers not being available to take it out. it is not receiving the help it needs on the west coast. the mayor tells us his people have essentially been forgotten. water here has become like liquid gold for the 60,000 people who live here, the few trucks of water that, and each day always leave people wanting. for food they are relying on the kindness of their neighbors and churches. fema announced yesterday that the city was going to be the site of 1 of 16 distribution centers across the island. we went to city hall to see what that distribution center looks like and we were told it simply the location the mayor drives a truck to each day to drop off supplies. the mayor tells us that one truck is all the supplies fema is giving him to give to 60,000

people, simply a drop in the bucket. >> i have one truck full of water, one truck. for 60,000 people. we need more water so we can give it to the people. >> the mayor told us that this morning 3,000 people lined up for food and water to be able to take back to their families, 2,000 of them walked away empty-handed. it that is why they so desperately need food, water, they need fema to actually be here on the ground to help these people get what they need. this is just one example of what many of the small towns far away from puerto rico's capital are experiencing in the growing frustration they have. >> heather: the president will be there on tuesday, don't forget the u.s. virgin islands, 100,000 americans there as well. >> jon: danger in the national parks, falling rocks hitting

tourists out one of the country's most famous parks. one man is dead, to other people badly hurt. what officials are saying about the rockslide. and more reaction to president trump's proposal on tax reform, can republicans in congress get a pass? we'll see with senate majority whip of texas coming up. t what people want. honey, do we have like a super creamy cheese with taco spice already in it? oh, thanks. bon appe-cheese! okay... let's get the lady of the house back on her feet. and help her feel more strength and energy in just two weeks. yaaay! the complete balanced nutrition of ensure with 9 grams of protein and 26 vitamins and minerals. ensure. always be you.

>> when we grow american manufacturing, we not only grow our jobs and wages but we also grow america's spirit. when we purchase products made in america, we renew the bonds of national loyalty that link us all together as one. >> jon: president trump highlighting the key parts of his tax plan just about an hour ago as he spoke before the national association of

manufacturing. the president announced the $6 trillion tax cut plan earlier this week, saying it will shrink taxes for businesses and simple by the nation's tax brackets, making it easier for companies to invest and create jobs. joining us now, senate majority whip john cornyn. it's going to be your job to count the votes and make sure republican support is solid, there have obviously been some notable defeats lately, how confident are you that you can get this thing through the senate? >> everybody in the senate recognizes how important this is for the president but also how important it is to the country. in terms of our global competitiveness, we have the highest tax rate in the world, which means businesses that do business overseas don't bring their investments back home and their people and businesses here, but most importantly perhaps of all is this is about letting people who earn money

keep more of what they earn. it will enhance their standard of living because they'll have more money they can save or spend on education or a vacation, buy a new car, make a house payment. this is about lowering everybody's tax burden and getting the economy growing again. >> jon: the charge from the other side, that this is a giveaway to corporate america and the wealthy, how do you answer that? >> i would say that's a cynical and entirely predictable, if you start looking at the plan, you realize everybody will see their tax burden reduced and everybody will benefit. as employers can hire more people and wages improve as wel well. this is really about restoring the american dream. making sure we are prosperous, as blessings of prosperity get handed down to future generations, this is our one chance to do that and we intend to get it done.

>> jon: do you expect to get support from democrats? >> i certainly hope so, we've been talking to a number of them. this is going to be a challenging process, what you will see is we have to pass a budget first and then we will take up the tax bill in the senate finance committee that i happen to be a member of. we are going to be looking for every occasion to welcome our democratic friends to help us because bipartisan bill would be a better bill, we could make it a permanent tax cut as opposed to just a temporary tax cuts. we'll see what they decide to do but we would welcome their support. >> jon: here's one of the charges, this reduces tax receipts to the nation, the national treasury by $5 trillion plus. we haven't had a balanced budget in years, how do you answer the argument that all this is going to do is blow a hole in the budget? >> that discounts what the

impact of a tax cut will have on our economy. you hear people talking about progrowth tax cuts, that's to get the economy working again, to use the natural incentives people have, if i get to keep more of what i earn i'm going to work harder than i do now. we expect widths four-tenths of a percentage point increase in the gross domestic product that that hole will be closed and will actually be seeing deficit reduction, not deficit increases. >> jon: one of the proposals is businesses order new machinery, new equipment, would be allowed to write off the expense the first year and to do that for five consecutive years. explain how you think that will help the economy. >> right now if you buy a large piece of equipment, you will have to write it off over a period of years or depreciated. but one of the things the

president emphasized in the manufacturing community is that you can buy a new piece of equipment, write it off in the first year which is a you might imagine will get them to update their facilities, become more productive and help the economy grow and create more jobs in the process. that's just one small part of i it. the expensing of those sort of investments will provide a stimulus to help the economy grow. >> jon: the middle-class is the backbone of this country in the middle class has been shrinking, is this something you think you would stop that bleeding? >> yes, i do. we are talking about four tax brackets, right now we have seven. the most significant is the zero tax bracket where people -- for couples who earn less than $24,000 a year, they will pay zero tax. three other tax brackets right now, the proposal is for 12%,

25% and then 35%. everybody will enjoy the benefits of this tax cut through a growing economy, increased global competitiveness and more take-home pay. >> jon: how long do you think it will take to pass it? >> my hope is to get this done by thanksgiving, certainly this year as many of our colleagues pointed out, in order for those benefits to be felt in 2018 we need to get this done in 2017. so that is my goal. >> jon: it would give americans a lot to be thankful for if it works the way you described. >> i agree. >> jon: thank you. >> heather: we shall see. >> jon: the devil is always in the details. >> heather: to senator chuck grassley threatening the fbi with subpoenas, why the judiciary chairman is searching for answers to some critical questions concerning a slew of topics. plus, a second arrest may just this week for another murder featured on one states cold case

playing cards. details on that.

>> jon: right now, a break and a half decade old murder case to tell you about, it's the second arrest this week in cases featured on connecticut's cold case playing cards. these cards are sold to prison inmates to try to generate tips. >> heather: chuck grassley threatening subpoenas to members of the fbi, the iowa senator wants to speak to two top officials from the bureau about a number of topics, including russia, the firing of james

comey and the hillary clinton email case. catherine herridge is following the story from washington, she joins us with more. >> senator grassley wants a private enclosed interview with these fbi officials. the executive assistant director of the fbi's national security brand, the chief of staff and a former senior counselor to fbi director comey. the assistant attorney general wrote to grassley a few weeks ago. he says his questions are not present a conflict because he wants to ask officials about improper influence or bias in the justice department under loretta lynch, the firing of fbi director comey, the clinton email case as well as the fbi's activities in the russia case. grassley and the committee's ranking democrat dianne feinstein are making it clear

that there patience is running out with paul manafort who first agreed to be interviewed in jul july. it was canceled the same morning paul manafort was scheduled to appear before committee staff. >> is there an agreement in the judiciary committee? >> there is agreement between the chairman and myself to subpoena him if he won't voluntarily come before the committee. >> that be an agreement to subpoena him. you've said they were not returning your calls, is that still the case? >> we will have to make a decision when we are done filling in the details. >> that leaves the door open to an 11th hour agreement for him to appear voluntarily but at least until now they have the threat of the subpoenas hanging

over that witness. >> heather: catherine herridge lie for us, thank you. >> jon: twitter suspends at least two dozen accounts after finding more than 200 linked to russia. the role social media might have played in foreign efforts to influence the election. what kind of impact are the ongoing national anthem protests having on the bottom line of the national football league? will break down the numbers.

to grow the businesses of tomorrow today. learn more at esd.ny.gov >> heather: right now, the social media network twitter said it found more than 200 russia linked accounts believed to be spreading propaganda and they've suspended many of them. this comes as lawmakers are stepping up their questions about social media's role in moscow's attempts to influence the 2016 election. mark warner calls twitter is a briefing to lawmakers inadequate on every level, let's bring in a liberal political commentator and professor at johns hopkins university and a conservative blogger. this is involving all sorts of social media, facebook, twitter, instagram, google. if you look at facebook alone,

67% of americans use facebook, 88% of millennials use it to consume their news. it's important the information they are receiving. how important do you think this is and what do you think the influence was if any on the election? >> i think it was morally and ethically wrong of russia to try to influence our elections. but what russia did anyone else can do, anyone with access to a twitter or facebook account can create any kind of false act. ultimately it's up to the individual to make their choices on which information they are going to see. >> heather: on that point, representative adam schiff had to say this, about this information they received so fa far, whether the tweets were targeted to particular voters in

an effort to sway their choice of president, a lot more investigating to do. >> what we do know is that a hostile power interfered with our election. furthermore, what we see is they were really targeting hillary clinton because they wanted to both harm and possibly deride her from getting the selection. 22 million tweets were found to be linked to russian bots or wikileaks and those tweets have false information and it was higher in swing states. as americans it's incumbent upon us to ensure that when we are tweeting and when we are having and passing along information, that information is correct and we have to make sure we make this change in 2018 and 2020. what this great nation has given to us is the privilege to vote for whoever we deemed to be a good candidate and we want to make sure we vote with the right

information. >> heather: that study you were talking about was specifically voters in 11 swing states, found that they got more fake news, more hyperpartisan information via twitter than reliable news, especially in the days leading up to the election itself. in terms of swaying voters and specific swing states, what do you say about that? >> i absolutely think that's problematic and i 100% agree that this is not a partisan issue. we know who wants to stoke the flames of division in the united states. i absolutely agree with that. it's important that we don't get into the realm of censoring information. just because i think it opens a can of worms into allowing twitter and google and facebook to censor information that they might not like. >> heather: it is a fine balance and twitter is coming under fire because they don't

have the checks and balances, people don't have to provide personal information to open up an account as we know, facebook, they get all kinds of information about you, different sites you go to end all that kind of thing. how do you protect personal information? >> i think that's where we have the delicate dance we have to do. we want to preserve the right for free speech, we want to preserve the right for people to be able to say and tweet what they want but we also want to ensure that these individuals are not bots. i think it's time we come together in a bipartisan manner to look to see how we preserve america's rights to use these social media platforms but to do so in a responsible way because again, 2018 is around the corner, 202020 is around the corner, we all have the beautiful red as americans to vote but again, underscore the fact, this vote matters and we want to do so with the correct information. >> heather: it began with president obama, it was built upon by president trump, the internet and social media, a

huge part of our elections moving forward. we have to figure it out. thank you both for joining us. >> thank you. >> jon: a fox news alert, abandon taking effect on all international flights into iraq's kurdish region. it comes as isis is still active in parts of the country and the terror group releases audio said to be from its leader for the first time in almost a year. live from london with more. >> that ban on all commercial flights in and out went into effect two and a half hours ago, just before it did there were an awful lot of people that were getting on the last flights out. in particular a lot of foreigners who've been told by their companies that they must evacuate for fear of concern for their safety.

the ban was introduced by the government in baghdad after kurds voted in overwhelming numbers to secede from iraq. today we had the iraqi prime minister appearing on television, saying that cannot happen and this ban is not meant to starve the kurdish people. there are still land it links between the north of iraq and turkey and the rest of iraq. in addition to that, in baghdad, separate from the problem of separatism in the north, the problem is still battling the islamic state. it is one of the last strongholds of islamic states in the country. the prime minister announced the military is now engaged in the second phase of operation there.

of people are on at least five or more prescriptions. you can see the work that's coming out of the university of michigan is going to be a game changer, there are so many pills people are changing, it makes a difference when it comes to compliance. if you imagine someone who has to take multiple pills, i see patients, on the sometimes up to 20 medications a day. to combine all those medications and deliver it in something as simple as a dissolvable strip is amazing work. >> heather: tells specifically about it, the number of people is increasing every year, the number of people -- 48% in 2007 and that's up from 44% back in 2000. how exactly will it work? >> they call this organic vapor printing, what they do is take the active ingredient in the medication and heated up so it's evaporated, they combined with a gases such as nitrogen. if you can visualize this, almost spray paints this evaporated medication onto a surface where it condenses and can be delivered by other means. this is something that is pure medication, it doesn't have the additives that traditional medications have.

>> heather: five different pills would all be combined into this one strip which is one way to take it. >> this is very personalized, whatever medications you may be on, this very individualized to your doses, your medication, it's vaporized and again it can be put on something as simple as a dissolvable strip or even as a bandage. it makes taking medication very easy. people have difficulties swallowing and taking medications. there are lots of compliance issues. putting all those things into one makes it easy for a lot of americans. >> heather: how well it

impacts doctors, hospitals, and pharmacies? >> can make things easier. getting the technology established will be somewhat of a challenge but after this is established, it's going to make medication delivery so much easier. you will be able to put in what medication the patient is on and appoint it then and there. we are no longer living at stock shelves, these are going to be made to order. >> heather: saver as well and not as much room for mistakes being made along the way. thank you so much for joining us, have a great weekend. >> jon: a mother behind bars after leaving her children home alone and going to europe, police finally caught up to her and the charges she is now facing. also one of america's most beautiful national parks reeling from terrifying rock slides that left one person dead and two others injured.
