thanks to my panel. thanks to you for watching. hope to see you right here next week. >> white house doubling down with a congresswoman. welcome to a brand-new hour. i'm kelly wright. >> and i'm julie banderas. president trump is standing by general kelly. >> we're incredibly blessed to work with someone like general kelly. very few people have sacrificed as much for our country as he has. it's sad that she's chosen to try to politicize this moment when we should focus on those that have sacrificed their

greatest, ultimate sacrifice to enjoy the freedoms we all enjoy in the company. >> the president is wrapping up verbal attacks tweeting, "i hope the fake news media keeps talking about wacky congresswoman wilson in that she as a representative is killing the democrat party." kristen fisher is live from the white house with more details. >> keep in mind, this is happening on the same day as the funeral for the american soldier killed in niger, sergeant ladavid johnson, whose widow has found himself at the center of this controversy, between the white house and congresswoman wilson. he was laid to rest a few days ago in florida. white house has been trying to move past the controversy. they were hoping that that briefing room appearance would

help them do that. president trump weighed in again calling the congresswoman "wacky," and said she is trying to kill her party. he also called the attacks against his chief of staff sickening. listen to this. >> he was so offended, because he was in the room when i made the call, and so were other people, and the call was a very nice call. he was so offended that a woman would be -- that someone would be listening to that call, he was -- he couldn't believe it. actually, he said to me, sir, this is not acceptable. >> also not acceptable, according to senator john mccain, was the lack of information that the trump administration was providing to the senate about the attack in niger. yesterday the secretary of defense met with senator mccain and his republican colleague, lindsey graham, to "clear things

up." afterwards, senator mccain said that the investigation may still require a subpoena, but that he had a good conversation with general mattis. neither side would give any more details about the attack and the white house is saying that it will not rest until it gets some answers kelly? >> kelly: new reports say that president trump is spending his own money to help with his staff's legal bills. >> yes. president trump promised to spend $400,000 of his own money to help his staffers and former campaign associates pay for their mounting legal bills that are associated with all of the russia investigations, from the investigation on capitol hill to that with the special council, robert mueller. there are a lot of questions here, namely, who decides which staffers get this money, when do they get it. none of those questions have

been answered at this point in time. this is a lot of money, $400,000, but also not a lot of money, given the amount of the investigation, the length of time in which the investigations will go on, so another question, kelly, would have to be, at some point in time, could that amount expand? could president trump promise to give even more money down the road? but right now, the number we're hearing is $430,000, to be exact, kelly? >> kelly: thank you for the update. >> julie: in a rare joint appearance, all five former living presidents are uniting to raise money for hurricane relief. the former presidents will headline a benefit concert on the campus of texas a&m in college station, texas he casey steagle is there live. what a great thing they're

doing. >> i don't think that the presidents themselves will be headlining. i don't know if they have any musical talents, but big acts will be taking the station tonight. it's a treat to see all five former living presidents, not only sharing the same stage, but, of course, coming together for a good cause. texas a&m was chosen because it's the home for george h.w. bush presidential library. public service announcements have been all over the airwaves advertising this charity fundraiser and a packed crowd is expected tonight. as we said, a texas-sized show. look at just some of the people that will be singing and performing tonight. gatlin brothers, alabama, lyle lovett and robert earl keen.

concert gets under way at 8:00 eastern time. this is all about raising money for hurricane relief. every single penny, we're told, will go to benefit victims of hurricane maria, irma and harvey. earlier today on fox & friends, larry gatlin from the gatlin brothers talked about how it's nice to see politicians putting things aside to help those who desperately need it. listen. >> it's good that the five presidents getting together. everybody says, lets come together and bi but partisanship. well, that's not going to happen. >> hurricane harvey devastated parts of texas, estimated to be one of the costliest natural

dis. ae -- disasters in u.s. histor. it hit especially close to home to the bush family the arena holds 13,000 people. organizers don't have an exact number that they're giving us about the number of tickets that have been sold, but the prices range from $40 to $60. and certainly hoping that every single seat is filled since it's all money going to a good cause. you can also donate on-line and jump on google and search this and if people are watching at home and don't live in texas, can't make it out here tonight, you can head to the internet and give. the money is needed across texas, florida, puerto rico, everyone dealing with such devastating hurricane season. julie? >> julie: thank you very much.

more coverage live on "water's world" at 8:00 p.m. eastern time. >> kelly: president trump will not block the release of documents related to john f. kennedy's assassination. "i will be allowing as president the long blocked and classified j.f.k. files to be open." following the story from our new york city newsroom with more details. brian? >> the j.f.k. files are a compilation of documents about the assassination of john f. kennedy. there are as many as 3,000 documents that will be released. this all goes back to 25 years ago where congress passed the record collections act that set a deadline to release all j.f.k.

assassination files by thursday. under the law, the president gets the final say and can chooses to withhold certain documents from going public. there are reports that government agencies are lobbying the president to withhold certain documents that could reveal sources. j.f.k.'s assassination has fueled conspiracy theories for decades and most are centered around lee harvey oswald, the man charged with killing kennedy, questions about whether oswald acted alone, did some u.s. intelligence officials have any prior knowledge of the plot, did oswald act on behalf of the k.g.b. it could contain a personality study of oswald. letters from j. edgar hoover and jackie kennedy, transcripts from

the k.g.b. and insight into oswald's trip to mexico city 7 weeks before the assassination in which he visited the soviet and cuban embassies. only 30% of americans believe that oswald acted alone. most believe a conspiracy of some kind in j.f.k.'s murder. even president trump took part in conspiracy talk, linking the father of ted cruz to j.f.k.'s assassination, in that are rafael cruz wars photographed next to oswald, a report that the cruz family denies. >> kelly: a lot of people will be waiting to see that. >> julie: steve bannon slamming george w. bush calling his time in the white house the most destructive presidency ever, this after the 43rd president

gave a thinly-veiled cite eke of president trump. >> one of the harshest rebukes coming from a former trump official, steve bannon. he said the 43rd president does not know what he's talking about. >> president bush, to me, embarrassed himself. speechwriter wrote a speech. >> bush said this in new york. >> we've seen nationalism distorted into nativisnativism, forgetting the dynamism. bully and prejudice sets a tone, and provides permission for cruelty and bigotry and compromises the moral education of children. the only way to pass along civic values is to first live up to them. >> many said it was a speech on

"trumpism," meant for the current administration, even though bush did not mention trump's name. the white house said that they don't buy that line of thinking. >> our understanding is that the comments were not directed toward the president. >> perhaps bannon did and he offered one of the most severe responses from anyone associated with this white house. >> it's clear that he didn't understand anything he was talking about. he equates the industrial revolution, globalization, he has no earthly idea if he's coming or going, just like when he was president of the united states. >> bannon was pushed out of the white house in august. he's back at breitbart news and declared what is in his words, "a war on the republican establishment." julie? >> julie: allison barber, thank you. >> kelly: authorities are investigating a series of terrifying knife attacks. rex tillerson visiting the

middle east. but first, general joseph vogel. >> partners across the region want strong, progressive relationships with the united states and i'm very, very proud that of the role that our military plays in sustaining these relationships. ...has grown into an enterprise. that's why i switched to the spark cash card from capital one. now, i'm earning unlimited 2% cash back on every purchase i make. everything. what's in your wallet? a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home... ...with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection.

neulasta helps reduce infection risk by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%... ...a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro.

>> julie: a suspect is under arrest in munich for attacking eight people with a knife including a 12-year-old girl. no one was seriously hurt. police don't believe it was terror-related the man was known to authorities and suffers from psychological problems. >> kelly: secretary of state rex tillerson in the middle east, seeking new alliance between saudi arabia and iraq. former ambassador to the u.n. joins us now, senior fellow at the american entertain institute and fox news contributor. secretary of state tillerson is in the middle east in the hopes of creating a new alliance between saudi arabia and iraq, an effort to keep iran in check. let's listen to something that the secretary had to say.

>> as we combine the efforts to defeat the military, financial and ideological support of terrorists, we expect to see progress in the arab world toward greater political expression, an important pathway to attack islamic extremism and to prevent political activism from escalating to violence is to allow voices for political expression. >> kelly: ambassador, what do you make of that and the strategy going forward? >> well, i don't thinkly news purchase in trying to get an iraqi-saudi alliance at this point. it's sensible for the saudis to exert influence in the iraqi government. in baghdad, the dominant power today is iran. and they demonstrated that by effectively marshalling 4 --

iraqi military forces to move into kirkuk and move into other areas of the military the idea that iraq today is iraq 20 years ago is misguided. i think the country has fallen apart. i don't think you can put it back together. the saudis have some resources that they want to expand in changing that and affecting the government, that's fine. above that cannot be the cornerstone of our policy to contain iranian aggression and support. >> kelly: you raise a very valid point by iraq as it is today, given that we're no longer there in terms of how we once were during the early days of the war. and, of course, we withdraw our forces under the obama administration, which left a vacuum there, resulting in the resurgencey and formation of isis. and there's the rift between the

gulf arab states and qatar and yemen and syria. isis is weakened, but still seeks to commit acts of terror. can secretary tillerson unite the arab states and keep iran from meddling in those states? >> well, as you indicated, there's a long list of things that the united states has to be excited about. just to take the collapse of isis as the first case, even though the caliphate has been defeated in some areas, it doesn't mean that we're done with isis. a lot of its leaders had gone toll yemen, afghanistan. what we urgently need and i'm afraid don't have is the

post-caliphate sunnis and how do we prevent an arc of control from iran to the baghdad government in iraq, assad regime in syria. a lot of issues, really, we need to address urgently. >> kelly: urgently indeed. and if you recall on thursday h.r. mcmaster said that "iran is very good at pitting communities against each other. this is something they share with groups like isis and al-qaeda. they used tribal and sectarian conflicts to gain influence by portraying themselves as a patron or protector." he was right in saying that. so i'm going to ask you a big, yet simple question -- how do you bring peace to the middle east given what iran has done?

>> the only long-term solution and it does not eradicate all the problems, but american policy should be open and declared. we want regime change in iran. as long as the ayatollahs are in charge, the threat of terrorism, the threat of conflict in the region, the threat will continue. it's not just the ayatollahs. it's the iranian revolutionary guards that are in control of ballistic missiles and nuclear weapons. it's a fascist regime as well as being a theocratic regime. they're supporting the rebels in yemen. they've tried to split qatar off from others on the arabian peninsula. there's a lot of work to do to repair the damage that iran has done. >> kelly: it's a big task and

big, tall order, and it appears that secretary tillerson is stepping up to try to do just that. we thank you for weighing in on this issue. >> thank you. >> julie: president trump is defending his twitter habit. why he said he is sticking with social media despite the controversy. our political panel will weigh in on the future of obamacare. president trump still fighting for repeal and replace, amid a bipartisan push to restore some subsidies that he ended. >> i think this might be the time when we find both sides willing to work together and we don't want to make them a loser.

mike and i are both veterans, both served in the navy. i do outrank my husband, not just being in the military, but at home. she thinks she's the boss. she only had me by one grade. we bought our first home together in 2010. his family had used another insurance product but i was like well i've had usaa for a while, why don't we call and check the rates? it was an instant savings and i should've changed a long time ago. there's no point in looking elsewhere really. we're the tenneys and we're usaa members for life. usaa. get your insurance quote today. what maheart-healthyle salad the california walnuts.ver?

>> we're going to repeal and replace obamacare.

and i think we actually have the votes. people are criticizing me for saying that. i think we actually have the votes for that. we were one short and i think we'll have the votes for that also. >> kelly: president trump in an exclusive interview airing tomorrow morning on sunday morning futures here on fox news, this after he announced that he would send subsidies for insurers this month and two senators reached a bipartisan deal to fund obamacare, which the president does not support. let's bring in our panel. before we begin. let me go to some sound from senator lindsey graham and what he has to say about the healthcare. >> we have to deliver on healthcare. we have to deliver on taxes. if we don't, we'll disintegrate

as a party. who thinks it's a good idea to continue to give $7 billion to be insurance companies for obamacare without reform? so the president's right to want to get a better deal on healthcare. >> kelly: and right there he's referring to the murray and alexander plan, which is a bipartisan plan. capri, has senator alexander proposed a plan that will help the g.o.p. achieve its goal to repeal and replace obamacare or is it a rescue for the affordable care act? >> i think more importantly than helping the g.o.p., lamar alexander and patty murray have shown there are adults in the room that can come together in a bipartisan manner and help the american people. the open enrollment starts in a few weeks, november 1, to december 13. it's a curtailed amount of time.

they've reduced the funding associated with outreach and advertising as well. what this would do, the alexander-murray bill, would provide cost-sharing reductions. before somebody says, this is a bail out for the insurance companies, let me remind you and the viewers that this is really about stabilizing the marketplace, ensuring that there's enough money to make sure that the insurance companies are not dropping out of the market place. that they're able to keep the costs down, particularly for those conditions, and if the cost-sharing reductions go away, what will happen is that the premium assistance that comes from the federal government in the form of the past credit, will increase the deficit. in my opinion, we need to do this first and then come together and figure out a way to fix the affordable care act. >> kelly: kevin, i have to get

you in here. one thing that capri said, "adults in the room seeking a bipartisan plan that can bring remedy to the problems resolving around obamacare," which if you go back to the obama administration, the former president himself said it's not a perfect plan. yet it seemed to be a problem for the republicans to fix it. tell me what you think. >> i'm all for adults in the room and bipartisanship if it can fix a problem, but the way this bill is constructed, problem is, democrats are not giving much in return for dumping money on a broken system. that's why it will be opposed. short-term stabilization will continue the flawed problems of obamacare and not bring the reforms to lower premiums and

deductibles and expand choice. that's where the focus should be for any bipartisan compromise. and democrats will have to give more. >> kelly: both of you just gave an indication of what is going on, where nobody can agree at sitting at the table and getting something accomplished. president trump took some executive actions to spur more competition. will this in any way get republicans and democrats to work like adults in the room on passing a proposal that can right this ship? >> i will jump in here. in the short term, the executive orders recently put out in regards to association health plans and selling across state lines really won't do much in the short term because it just directs health and human services, department of labor and i.r.s. to look into how this will occur.

it could give some level of political cover for republicans to say, okay, the executive branch is trying to work on this concurrently towards reforms as we come up with a short-term stabilization. maybe what they do is they take out the funding for the outreach which they try to restore for obamacare for advertising money and stick to making it more e expedited for waivers -- >> i hear you loud and clear and i hear republicans saying, no, no, we're not going to do that. >> this is the fundamental problem with obamacare in the first place, that it gave so much power to the executive that the next administration could come in and undo it and that's what's happening. it was unconstitutional in the way they appropriated money.

that's the flaw of obamacare and one of the many flaws of obamacare. >> kelly: what are the flaws right now? at the end of the day, open enrollment will begin soon. the president wants something done to get a healthcare plan on the table and get it passed because he realizes that people, millions of people, will be impacted. we have to think about the bottom line. bottom line are people themselves that rely on healthcare and they may not be getting it. >> and a lot of price increases were priced in. if they were to allocate the money it, would probably go to insurance companies. i don't know if pressure will munt so much that republicans have to do something, but if they want a bipartisan deal, democrats will have to give more than they've given.

i don't see president trump and house republicans breaking on this. and house republicans are focused -- >> kelly: democrats will have to give up something and stop being recalcitrant and i can hear schumer and pelosi saying -- >> maybe one of the things that the democrats give back is not giving as much money to the open enrollment advertising. it's not something that i'm crazy about that could be a concessionary point. it's my understanding that part of the alexander-murray bill there was a provision that made sure that the money gets that savings passed on to the consumer in cost savings directly. it's always a legitimate concern that insurance companies will want to make more money, but this is about human beings,

americans, that need the healthcare and we need to not worry about party politics and worry about the american people. >> they will have to give more choice, more plans, and loosen up on the mandates. we haven't seen them willing to do that yet. >> kelly: we have to end it the there, as congress continues to wrangle and wrestle with this all-important question about what to do about the future of healthcare. thank you, both. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> julie: president trump is defending his use of twit tore get o -- twitter to get out his message. >> do you ever feel like sometimes some of your unscripted tweets and comments get in the way of the larger message? i've spoken with a lot of supporters of you and while they love the policies, they say, we're always defending something that he said that he didn't mean

to say that way. do you think it's getting in the way of your agenda? you need the bully pulpit to tell the american people why tax reform is so important. >> it's an interesting question. i have friends that say, don't use social media. tweeting is like a typewriter. when i put it out, you put it on your show. i mean, i put something out, 2 seconds later, each watching your show. >> you're right. we watch your twitter feed. >> they're well-crafted. i was always a good student it. i'm a person that does well with that kind of thing. i doubt i would be here if it wasn't for social media, to be honest with you. there's a fake media and i'm treated unfairly by the media. and i have like 120 million people following me. so when someone says something about me, i go, bing, bing,

bing, and i take care of it. the other way, i would never get the word out. >> julie: be sure to catch the entire interview tomorrow at 10:10 clo 10:00 a.m. you can also watch monday at 6:00 a.m. >> kelly: israeli forces launching strikes against syrian artillery today after rockets landed in israel, apparently spillover from the long-running civil war. john huddy has the latest. >> kelly, israel's military said it attacked three artillery cannons after five rockets landed in the israeli-controlled golan heights early this afternoon. it was in open areas and there was no damage. syria said there would be "grave

consequences" to ongoing israeli attacks. the warning comes as the top iranian and syrian military commanders met in damascus, agreeing to increase the military cooperation and coordination and fighting against "zionist american schemes" and that's a reference to israel and the united states. this is a concern to israel, in particular it, iran's involvement in syria and the potential for stronger iranian military presence along syria's border with israel. on that note, russia's defense minister met in tel aviv with his israeli counterpart, the israeli defense minister. to discuss creating a buffer zone. russia is allied with iran and syria's regimes. benjamin netanyahu has said time

and time again and repeated this week that israel will do whatever it takes to protect its borders. today the i.d.f. released a statement saying it would intensify response to any syrian fire, whether that is spillover from syria or not. i was in the golan heights sunday and monday, there's a large military presence. we heard live firedrills. there were several tanks. on the other side in syria, you could hear the ongoing fighting. kelly? >> kelly: thanks for the update. israel is right there, standing ready to defend itself. john huddy, thank you for the report. >> julie: the g.o.p. tax plan clearing a critical hurdle. what is next for tax reform? >> both democrats and republicans agree that something must be done to simplify our tax

system. it's too complex, riddled with unnecessary loopholes that allow some to avoid paying their fair share. two hundred years of citi history matter to you? well, because it tells us something powerful about progress: that whether times are good or bad, people and their ideas will continue to move the world forward. as long as they have someone to believe in them. citi financed the transatlantic cable that connected continents. and the panama canal, that made our world a smaller place. we backed the marshall plan that helped europe regain its strength. and pioneered the atm, for cash, anytime. for over two centuries we've supported dreams like these. and the people and companies behind them. so why should that matter to you? because, today, we are still helping progress makers turn their ideas into reality.

>> julie: to tax reform. house speaker paul ryan saying that the g.o.p. plan will have a fourth tax bracket for high-income people. ryan said that republicans want to be sure that the biggest tax cuts go to the middle class. the senate approved a budget resolution paving the way to pursue tax reform without a filibuster. >> members in both parties, ways and means, finance committee, will have opportunities to make amendments and hopefully improve the bill. we're anxious to get it done before the end of the year, not because it's an artificial deadline, but to make sure that tax relief is given to the

american people to get this economy going again. >> julie: ted rogoff, harvard and international monetary fund. ted, thanks for talking to us. >> thank you. >> julie: so is this boost big enough to get tax reform done, do you think? >> boy, it's going to be quite a mess if they don't get tax reform done. it's a republican president, senate, house of representatives. i think they will. there we get reform done or a tax bill that slashes some rates but doesn't clean up the system? >> julie: right. let's go through the obstacles that you believe that republicans still face. >> well, disagreement about how big deficits do we allow. the corporate tax needs to be fixed. the tax rate is too high.

there are too many opaque exemptions and deductions. lower the rate, get rid of that stuff. it's hard to do it in a way that is revenue-neutral. it's going to have deficits going out there. it's hard to do any tax reform that way. so they have to figure out a way to pretend that 10 years out, it will be better. and there's a lot of debate within the republican party among them. so just saying we're going to grow our way out of this, it's nonsense. it will help. it will be progrowth, but not enough to pay for itself. >> julie: the corporate tax rate is something that the president has been adamant about. that this country has among the highest corporate tax rate in the world at 35%. lawmakers agree that they want to bring it down, but they don't know to what number. the president would like to see 20%. what do you think would be the likely outcome here realist

realistical realistically? >> i think realistically, they get it to 25%. corporate tax is 1.5% of g.d.p. and it's quite a cut. 25% would bring us to inter national norms. and they're doing a number of technical fixes going to a system that's territorial that i think would be hopeful in the long run. >> julie: the president believes that by going ahead and lowering the tax on corporations, that you will increase spending by these companies that are able to hire more. so employment will go up as well. democrats will be sticking to rejecting a lot of these issues with regard to spending. and also, the $6 trillion in tax cuts to businesses and people, democrats are not going to be having that. who stands to benefit, first of all, from the tax plan? >> i haven't seen the tax plan, so it's a little hard to say.

for example, they say what the four brackets will be, but they don't say where the cutoffs will be. and that makes all the difference. they don't know what they will do with state and local taxes. there's a lot of things that i think are deliberately being kept unclear because they cannot reach an agreement. i want to come back to cleaning up the corporate tax that's a great idea. it should be bipartisan. it should not be republican or democrat. so there's a question of how to pay for it in the long run. >> julie: there's no incentive to be a business owner. you want to be able to hire people and pay them. this could boost wages for blue collar workers, according to the president. that's something that you would think that the democrats would see eye to eye on. wouldn't it be? >> yes. it's a question of timing. so 10 years out, i think all that will happen. in the near term, businesses don't hire that fast. and there's a lot of loose cash

lying around. the question is, how do you pay for it? >> julie: good question. $1.6 trillion is expected to be spent as a budget deficit and that's an enormous cost. so they need to figure out what to cut and how to pay for it. that's all the time we have. ken rogoff, thank you. appreciate it. kelly? >> kelly: president trump is doubling down on his attempt to battle the opioid epidemic. how he caught health officials by surprise and now they're scrambling to come up with a plan. there's been a growing number of sleep home break-ins in hollywood. the latest victim, mariah carey. patrick woke up with back pain.

but he has work to do. so he took aleve. if he'd taken tylenol, he'd be stopping for more pills right now. only aleve has the strength to stop tough pain for up to 12 hours with just one pill. aleve. all day strong. so let me get this straight. you're a rabbit? im vern, the orange money retirement rabbit, from voya. riiight. and that means...? i'm the money you save for retirement. i help you get organized so your money could multiply. see? got it. who's he? he's green money for spending today. you know, paying bills, maybe a little online shopping... makes it easy to tell you apart. that, and i am better looking. i heard that. when it's time to get organized for retirement, it's time to get voya.
