audience, i'm greg gutfeld. i love you. ♪ gutfeld and i love you. [cheering and applause] . arthel: rekindling republican hopes that his agenda is moving full steam ahead as he refocuses on two major campaign promises. tax reform and repealing and replacing obamacare, sitting down with our own madison bumgarner for an exclusive interview, the president saying the path is clear to get those deals done. hello, and welcome to brand new inside "america's news headquarters," i'm arthel neville. eric: good evening, i'm eric shawn. the president touching on a wide range of issues in the interview including the controversy over the phone call to the widow of fallen soldier la david johnson, as well as

the drama that continues to swirl around his administration. >> do you worry that this bickering and feuding gets in the way of your agenda? >> no, and sometimes it helps, to be honest with you. we'll see what happens in the end. but i think sometimes it helps. sometimes it gets people to do what they're supposed to be doing, and you know, that's the way it is. i just want what's right. and i think for the most part, they want what's right, too. we'll see what happens ibelieve we have the votes for health care at the appropriate time, and i think that we're going to have the votes for taxes. eric: kristin fisher is live tonight at the white house. good evening. first off, is there signs that the controversy between the president and congresswoman frederica wilson, it is subsiding. >> intensifying. for the second day in a row, president trump called the congresswoman his new favorite nickname, he said wacky congresswoman wilson is the gift that keeps on giving for

the republican party. a disaster for dems, watch her in action and vote r. shortly after, the congresswoman fired back on another network, she's sick of the president's nick names and then said this. >> i think this is going to be this administration's benghazi. this is going to be trump's benghazi, trump's niger. they need to concentrate on what happened, and what happened and what is happening. reporter: as much as the white house would like to move past the controversy, both the congresswoman and the president really continue to keep this in the national conversation, eric? eric: kristin, what was the president up to today? reporter: he was actually at his trump national golf course in virginia. spent the day there, he's back here at the white house, and at some point this afternoon, he was expected to dial in and hop on this weekly gop house

conference call to push his tax reform plan, tax reform, of course, his top priority, but health care right behind it. and the big question continues to be where does he stand on this bipartisan alexander-murray bill which would temporarily reinstate the obamacare subsidiaries that president trump cut. we're not sure where he stands and our own maria bartiromo asked him about it. >> i looked strongly at it. we can do pretty much what they're getting, this is temporary prior to repeal and replace, we're going to repeal and replace obamacare, i think we have the votes. people are criticizing me saying. that i think we have the votes for that. reporter: he thinks republicans have the vote for a full, have the votes for a full repeal and replace a few months from now but remains unclear where he

stands and whether or not he would sign this alexander-murray bill, and today the majority leader mitch mcconnell begging the president for clarity on this issue so he can then, bring that bill to the floor for a vote, eric. eric: if it's voted on in the senate, house speaker paul ryan said it's dead on arrival already before he gets to the other side of the chamber at the house. we'll see what tweeks are there in the coming days. arthel: president trump facing backlash after announcing his cutting off obamacare subsidies to insurers to restore the payments, and now 18 states and the district of columbia are filing lawsuits to try to keep those payments coming. ellison barber has more from washington. reporter: the battle over cost sharing reduction payments or csr's is not knew but heating up, administration official sells fox news, csr payments

were not made friday and will not be made because congress has not appropriated money for it. csr's are subsidies available to some in the obamacare exchanges, meant to limit the out-of-pocket costs like deductibles and co-payments. here's how all of this has gone down. in 2016, house republicans sued the obama administration over these payments. a judge actually sided with them and said they were illegal because congress had not set aside the money, but an appeal is filed by the obama administration and the payments continued. a week and a half in ago, the white house announced plans to end csr payments to insurance companies. 18 states and the district of columbia sued the administration. they claimed the payments are required by law. csr payments were set to go out friday october 20th. those states led by california's attorney general filed an emergency motion on thursday to try and prevent the administration from stopping payments.

>> some 7 million people will probably be affected. what we went in asking for the court to give us emergency ruling to stop what the trump administration did last week or a little more than a week ago because it was supposed to, under the trump administration, take effect immediately under their order, and we can't afford to have that uncertainty. reporter: one piece of a health care fight that started long before president trump stepped foot in the white house and is far from over. >> iong the csr's, what you're seeing is look, i would be okay with making the payments, if i get something for people in exchange. if i get something that helps people. reporter: president trump is set to attend the weekly policy lunch on capitol hill with senate republicans. that's set to happen on tuesday. the president told fox's maria bartiromo he thinks he can get the votes to repeal and replace obamacare. arthel? arthel: thank you. eric: the president turning attention to another big campaign promise, that is tax

reform. he did so marking a milestone. in an op-ed for usa today he celebrates the 1986 tax reform act signed into law on this day, by president ronald reagan. president trump notes that move led to the historic economic growth for our country at the time, and says his plan could build on president reagan's success. in his interview with maria bartiromo, the president discussing where tax reform stands now. >> i will say the fact that health care is so difficult, i think, makes the taxes easier. the republicans want to get it done, and it's a tremendous tax cut. especially for the middle class, and especially for businesses. >> should they be here if they don't have a bill on your desk by thanksgiving? >> i think they should and i think they will. i don't like them leaving. i want to get it by the end of the year, i will be disappointed if it takes that long. eric: garrett tenney, i guess the president is shooting for

ronald reagan act2. >> he certainly is, eric, gop leadership is confident they'll be able to get tax reform to his desk by the end year, if not sooner. it is notable on the 31st anniversary when tax reform last passed. it took congress more than a year to do it in 1986 and lawmakers are aiming to do it in just ten weeks. republicans will likely introduce full plan in the next week or so, that's when the work begins, debating what the final tax reform bill looks like. there will be a lot of negotiations to get something together that can pass, and hearing about some of the possible changes. on friday, house speaker paul ryan announced the house plan to add a fifth bracket which would be tailored for the richest americans. today on "fox news sunday," senate majority leader mitch mcconnell would only say that idea would be one of the many up for debate in the weeks ahead. >> you know, i hate to get into the details of this, it's going to be hashed out in the open, in the ways and means committee

in the house and the finance committee in the senate. i can tell you what the overall goal, is middle class tax relief. the stopping of job exportation because of our horrible business tax structure in this country. to get the country growing again. reporter: the white house said it doesn't love the idea of another tax bracket but is open to almost anything that can help congress negotiate a better deal for taxpayers. white house budget director mick mulvaney said the middle class in particular is where the president is focused. >> the two priorities from the very beginning for the president have been that middle taxpayers will pay less and it will be simpler for them. that's number one. number two, that the corporate tax rate is going to come down. we wanted 15%, the house kept pushing, 20. we'd love to get back down to 15%. reporter: the white house tried to get moderate democrats to support the budget but the white house is hoping tax reform will be different and

actively working with republicans to see if they can get democrats on board to be sure this bill has enough votes to pass. eric: the key words, middle class tax reform. arthel? arthel: the push for tax reform on the clock with president trump saying he wants a bill on his desk by thanksgiving. the director of the office and management and budget also giving a timeline with the senate passing a budget plan, mick mulvaney predicting a deal will be done by the end of the year. we felt good last week, but not only did the senate then pass the bill, we're hearing the house may either take the senate amendments or move quickly to accept the senate amendments and may send 10 or 12 legislative days, which is a big deal. may not sound like much but in the congressional calendar, that's a long time and does buy us more time and more opportunity to get this done before the end of the year. arthel: is this realistic? jeff, at ten months in, the

president's legislative win column is empty. might omb director mulvaney say the senate and house will do whatever it takes to get some form of tax reform passed by christmas? >> i think they're going to try. there is no question about that, and director mulvaney's comments indicate a sense of optimism at the white house, that they get it passed. budget resolution getting passed this last week is a step forward and positive sign for movement on that. but doesn't guarantee ability to get it done by december. the fact that democrats are not supporting it is certainly one big hurtle, and honestly, another big hurtle is to keep the republicans on board. there are republicans who have said that they would not end up supporting tax reform if it has a huge impact on the deficit, that's one of the challenges they face. >> the president is meeting with gop senators tuesday, downing the president will be able to coerce more of the senate republicans to get on

his side, if you will? >> i think he'll encourage them to stay on his side for sure, and he and the republicans in the senate need a win. the president likes to they he's had a lot of accomplishments since the start of his term, and he says that they are legislative, but you're right, when you said that on the legislative column there's not a whole lot for him to show in terms of wins, a big win on tax reform would help moving into the midterm elections next year to say look, this is someone republicans have been promising, we control the house of representatives, we control the senate and we control the white house and got this done. if they don't get it done, it will be a big negative for them and it will almost certainly hurt them with voters. arthel: so is congress likely to get the other item passed that the president is talking about, if not repeal and replace obamacare some, health care bill perhaps on the president's desk this year? is that possible? >> certainly possible. i'm going to be the last one to say things aren't possible, but

i wouldn't necessarily say it's likely. the republicans have struggled to get health care, obamacare, the affordable care act repealed and replaced, as you know, there is an effort right now to come up with a temporary solution but the white house and president trump in particular have given mixed signals as to whether or not they would support that plan. the president having stopped the subsidy payments to the insurance companies and now saying he does not want them to start up again. well, that's at the core of this compromise plan between republicans and democrats to get it going again. arthel: to that point, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying on the sunday shows today, he would like to work with the president on health care but wants to hear from the president, what sort of bill, what items would you like in there that you would sign? we would love to get it done. >> that's right, mitch mcconnell said he would like to bring something to the floor but not if the president is not

going to sign it. mr. mcconnell has been humiliated for not getting the big promise that republicans have been promising so long to the finish line. he's not going to do it again, even if there is republican support for it, if it gets sent to the white house and doesn't get the president's signature. arthel: how much responsibility would you say, jeff, is it of the president to present some specifics to congress in terms of what he wants in health care and in tax reform, because it seems that sure, it's the legislative branch that's going to pass the law, but seems that they are volleying the ball in each other's court, we need to hear from the president. the president is like no, it's all on congress if nothing happens. >> indeed. that's the struggle the two sides had. the white house wanted to make clear on loss of the issues, whether it's health care, taxes, whether it's immigration reform, what principles are and see congress take that and go with it.

but that certainly -- has not worked with the obamacare repeal effort. whether or not it works with immigration is still to be seen. doesn't seem particularly likely in the next several months, given how much they want to get done. tax reform is the main issue domestically anyway that the white house is focusing on. and they've got gary cohn, president trump's top economic adviser, helping to lead the charge on that, and i expect they will flush out even more details what they want in tax reform in the coming weeks. arthel: it's october 22nd, two months away from december 22nd. few days before christmas. we'll be watching, jeff mason, white house correspondent for reuters, thank you. >> my pleasure. eric: another major defeat for isis, that means a victory for us. this after the u.s.-led coalition liberates the terrorist capital of raqaa syria. some wondering if it is a decisive victory or the terror group will continue to resurface. former special forces officer

. arthel: a historic night in the name of hurricane relief. all five living former presidents appearing at the one america concert at texas a&m. the event raised more than $30 million for storm victims in the u.s. mainland and puerto rico. president trump thanked his predecessors in a video message. by the way, if you want donate to help hurricane victims go to one america appeal.org. >> my name is grace jo, and i am an american. [applause] . >> thank you. eric: it was a call for freedom

for north korea and sharp words for kim jong-un. last week president george w. bush appeared here in new york at the george w. bush institute's forum on freedom and liberty. he made a lot of headlines at the event and focused on the crisis in north korea. the bush institute honored young escapees who fled to find new lives here in our country. one of them is grace jo, there on the left. in her young life she experienced horrors few of us could ever have imagined. hers is astounding journey from north korea to a maryland college classroom. when grace jo walks along the leafy path of montgomery college in maryland, she is indistinguishable from any other american college student. but the 26-year-old's astounding journey took her from the gulags of dictatorship

to the american united states. grace is north korean escapee, one of eight recipients of george w. bush institute's north korean freedom scholarship program. an effort by the former president to encourage freedom and values from those who fled the kingdom. and grace is uncompromising on what she says should be the fate of north korean dictator kim jong-un. >> the north korean regime should not exist in this world anymore, any longer. i will say the u.s. government use military force or any kind of force, we shall stop the north korean regime. the regime is killing those innocent people in the country. childs, babies and moms and they are dying without help. reporter: tough talk is the only thing the regime understands. >> i believe north korean regime will not listen if we speak nicely, so i think it's

time to take action to north korean government because if we don't have any action, we only speak words and trying to give something to them and you know, give candy to crying kids, cancel the moment but will not solve the long run. reporter: she does not think a military strike in south korea and the region is feasible. >> i don't want to drop the bomb or killing those innocent people. reporter: but hopes the u.s. and allies can conduct covert actions that will lead to the toppling of the regime. grace says her two younger brothers died of starvation and father died in custody sneaking a bag of rice to china and taught to bow before the portrait of the north korean leader. >> during new year's day, the government will give us little kids gift bag which is cookies

and candies bag, and hold the bag in front of us and fall to the portrait three times, that was the lecture i got from my grandmother. i had to bow to the leader's portrait and i have to thank to him whenever or whatever food i can eat. reporter: while grace is grateful for her path she does not want those left behind to be forgotten. >> all the people are dying they are suffering in north korea, so please think about the children who are dying there without any hope. it's getting worse but never gets better. eric: the bush institute will announce more north korean freedom scholarships next year. as for grace, she launched her own charity to try to rescue other north koreans, the charity is nknusa.org. she hopes to raise $10,000 that she hopes can save the lives of

two north koreans, she is the woman of tremendous grace and inspiration. arthel: indeed, a fascinating story, eric. that's your name, right? regroup now. president trump is calling the liberation of raqaa a triumph over the battle of isis. when it comes to fighting terrorism, congress needs to step up. and secretary of state rex tillerson on a mission in saudi arabia to bring two age old rivals together to fight a common enemy. >> this new reopening of relations between the king of saudi arabia and iraq are extremely important to the stability of the region, to the future of iraq and for the two countries. americans, 83% try to eat healthy, yet up to 90% fall short on getting key nutrients. let's do more. one-a-day 50 plus. complete with 100% daily value of more than 15 key nutrients.

one-a-day 50 plus.

♪ ♪ you nervous? ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ . >> the fact that you see us here so often, we have a lot to

work on, a lot of very meaningful work that is going to bring a greater security and stability to the region and we have a -- we have a terrific partner in the kingdom of saudi arabia, we look forward to accomplishing many things in the future. arthel: secretary of state rex tillerson in saudi arabia today souting unlikely alliance between the saudis and longtime rivals, the iraqis, what's bringing them together? iran's rising influence in the middle east. connor powell has more from jerusalem. reporter: secretary of state tillerson arrives in the middle east facing two major crises, iran and the diplomatic standoff between qatar in saudi arabia, both of which have worsened since july. trump administration has aligned itself with the sunni arab bloc against tehran and tillerson is meeting with saady and iraqi officials in an effort to convince baghdad to distance itself from tehran.

however, like iran, iraq is a she majority country and deep political ties between the two neighbors. with iran playing a major role in iraq's efforts to defeat isis. while there are deep suspicions between baghdad and riyadh. tillerson trying to find a solution to the saudi led boycott to qatar. trying to drive a wedge between qatar and iran, in this case, tillerson is against the move. meanwhile, isis suffering several major blows. losing control of syria's largest oil field to the u.s.-led coalition and at the same time syrian troops backed by russian and iranian forces have nearly captured the key city. so while progress is made on the ground in the fight against isis, diplomatic tangles continue to tear at seams of the middle east. arthel? arthel: thanks, connor, eric? eric: the isis defeat that is celebrated, u.s. backed forces

liberating the syrian city of raqaa which the radical islamic terrorists declared as the capital of their so-called caliphate. months after iraq regained control of mosul from the terrorist group. senator lindsey graham is saying isis and the jihadist philosophy is continuing to expand, especially on the continent of africa. >> what i worry about africa, it becomes the new platform for people to come to, the ungoverned spaces of africa where the terrorists come after you defeat them in syria and iraq and afghanistan and some groups within the system of terrorist groups in africa that would attack our allies in the united states. eric: so could the trump administration lay out a new terrorism strategy? joining us is jason beardsley, former master sergeant, army special operations and joint special operations command in iraq. jason, good to see you, and thank you for your service. >> thanks for having me, eric, thank you. eric: of course.

i remember back to june 29, 2014, declaring an isis caliphate and i remember, oh, man, how are we going to end this one? now driven out, first, what does the victory by us mean. >> well, first and foremost this goes to the credit of our special operations forces, military force, marines, joint chiefs of staff and goes to the executive branch, president trump for setting the new conditions for our military to fight untethered, with the right types of rules of engagement and come up with a strategy that is effective at closing down what was the caliphate that baghdadi wanted to claim. we want to give credit where it's due, military is always going to do the right job week need backing from the leadership. we got that here and put isis on its heels. eric: the "wall street journal" editorial, let me read you a paragraph from that, they say the tragedy is that it took so

long. president obama devised a long strategy, he doesn't want to admit he would have to reintervene in iraq after pulling out in toto. generals sped up the pace of the campaign upon taking office. do you think this catastrophe could have been prevented or slowed if more action had been taken sooner? and do you think the president is taking more action to the terrorists to face the new threats? >> yeah, there is no doubt, eric, that this type of catastrophe could have been avoided. listen, we saw it coming, generals, military leaders, we saw it coming because we had to beat back the increase of violence, 2004 to 2006, come up with a new strategy, learn while we were fighting. general mcchrystal, retired now, we changed the way we fought to adapt to the enemy, changed the strategy and the next shoe dropped for us,

pulling back from the region, that was a mistake, was a catastrophe and had to fight background that we already took. we want to give credit to the iraqi soldiers that did this. americans, the kurds, our peshmerga fighters, all of them heaved and hoed together. won back mosul and raqaa. just like senator graham put out, we're going to fight on other fronts now. >> the kurds are having issues with the iraqi federal government. we have what happened in niger, for example, going off in africa. the senator saying he believes africa could be the new front? >> he's right. first of all, my heart goes out to the special forces and special force support soldiers who we lost this last week. great soldiers. whenever special operations are in harm's way, we have acceptable risk, what i want to call to the attention is, those

senators, congressmen who went to the camera, having sat 25 years on the armed services committee, senator mccain may not have been up to date on his briefings, and it's a shame he said he didn't know what was going on in africa. the operations go back six or seven years. eric: he may have been meaning exact details. the details are murky. we don't know what the deployment was. there was no american air protection, there was french air protection, got there half hour later, this is part of the investigation resulting to the tragedy. >> we're going to get to the end of this, eric. this is a pretty known operation, a lot of us, i've done this, similar ones in west and east africa. because there was no american air, we might have had late contract on french or other parties, this was a known operation. what we're dealing with here is when special operations are deployed in austere environments, we accept a certain amount of risk, the strategy is to beat bactenemy in the undergoverned or

ungoverned spaces like we saw last week. always a risk to that. it's like going on a police raid, police can go out to a call every day of the year, and if the enemy wants, if the criminal element wants they can ambush them, but doesn't mean there is a failure in the strategy or intelligence. what it means is we take risks with we go against this enemy, and we'll continue to do that because servicemembers are outstanding men and honor and integrity and we'll do this every day that they're tasked. >> that they are, reporting from somalia, reminded of somalia, i remember the fights back then, that brings me to the embassy bombings in 1998 by al qaeda? dar es salaam and nairobi and the westgate mall. the theory is it is spreading throughout africa. >> absolutely right. not new threat, you mentioned

kinshasa and bombing in the mall, it's going to be with us for a long time. remember, whenever you get the ungoverned space, you get elements that are criminal, terrorists, violent extremists, you have a lot of people at play. you don't have governments that are not as stabile, you will risk capital whether it's in resources, bodies or in other things, but make no mistake, our president, our congress, they own this, these are the responsible parties who set the strategy, our military d.o.d. is going to go out there and execute the mission and do it with success all day long. so big kudos to the third group guys who are out there rotating and the other special operations forces too. eric: absolutely, we hold in our hearts the four special forces soldiers and their families tonight. jason beardsley, thank you for your service. this is the threat we face in our time. thank you. >> you bet, thanks, eric.

. arthel: october is national breast cancer awareness month and national domestic violence month. our next guest personally knows about both and decided to teach others about the same. 19 years ago she created fight like a girl, which aims to change the statistics of violence in our world and teach women and kids personal violence prevention am the president and ceo kim rock joins us now to talk about that. hi, kim. >> hey, arthel. how you doing? arthel: i'm well, good to see you. first up, how does fight like a girl help women stand up to domestic abuse, and with surviving cancer? >> well, fight like a girl was

developed to teach women and girls how to protect themselves, it's kind of like the rosetta stone or hooked on phonics for self-defense, we use selfie so when i say please do a selfie, they automatically put their hand in a proper place, helps to empower them and show them what to do for the next move, it makes it easy to contemplate how to protect themselves and fight like a girl also shows anybody who has been victimized or had cancer or something like that, that you can overcome, you can overpower, you can fight like a girl. arthel: and your fight like a girl seminars have reached over two million people in 19 years, but tell us, kim, is it a class, one class, a series of classes, how does this work? >> fight like a girl, what we do is certify instructors nationwide to teach the program. we duplicated the program about nine years ago, so that anyone, doesn't matter who you are, a homemaker or want to do the

fight like a girl program in the school, community, corporation, film industry, anywhere that you need to have empower. for women so they can learn how to protect themselves and carry themselves better and handle a bad situation, that's what fight like a girl does. arthel: you were a cancer and domestic accuse survivor, kym, what do you get from teaching the women through fight like a girl, what do you get out of it? >> so empowering to me because when you get front of a bunch of women and have 100 to 300 to 650 women and girls and all of a sudden they come in and they're afraid, they don't think they can do the things i'm trying to show them, and when i show a simple technique, it gives a sense of empower. i can be so much more, not only because they learn fight like a girl techniques but learn more in the everyday life. that's what we try to convey. arthel: it's been a long time you've done this, 19, 20 years.

martial arts for 30 years now. arthel: congratulations, still wearing the pink hair? >> yes, the pink hair, there's a reason for that. on the anniversary of the day i beat cancer, october 12th, i was at south dakota university doing a seminar, and said tomorrow is anniversary of beating cancer. i said i'll spray my hair pink in celebration of saying i'm still here, and it became a part of my brand and everybody expected it whenever i do fight like a girl or go into the media, that's why i do it. i'm still here. arthel: you are still here, glad you're still here, helping a lot of women continue standing and you wear the pink hair well. there you go, kym rock. >> thanks. >> a neighborhood is in mourning and it's on edge after three unsolved killings in the last two weeks. police say the murders are linked. we will have the latest on this

disturbing investigation, coming up. >> i just thought someone in the community can speak out, do not be afraid, my husband said it could be your daughter, your grandson, your son, wife, husband, whoever may be in your family, you don't know when is going to be your turn. today we're out here with some big news. jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease... ...and lower your a1c. wow. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems.

individual. we don't know their color. we don't know the race, their ethnicity, their sex, there's so many unknowns and that's why we're hesitant to label it with anything. reporter: further adding to the frustration, police heard the gunshots for the third murder of nayboa but arrived too late to catch the suspect. police are offering a $30,000 reward for anything that leads to the arrest. arthel: one of the world's largest marathons near the nation's capital. thousands taking part with no prize money at stake. that is not the only thing that makes this run so special. >> it's my fifth time running the race, i enjoy the race, i qualified last year, we have a good run and everybody is safe.
