tv   Fox Report Sunday  FOX News  October 22, 2017 10:00pm-11:00pm PDT

10:00 pm
next weekend. rick leventhal up next with "the fox report." rick: president trump striking a confident tone as the white house looks to seize momentum on two of its biggest campaign promises. i'm rick leventhal, this is "the fox report." president trump focusing on two major issues this weekend, tax reform and repealing and replacing obamacare. in an exclusive interview with our own maria bartiromo, the president says the path is clear to getting those deals done. >> i think we have the votes. i think that rand paul actually is going to vote for the tax cuts. i think that other people, you know, we had tremendous enthusiasm this time. health care, i was told, was tougher, but it was close. i mean, so far i would say it's not even a contest. and i will tell you, speaking of health care, i believe we're going to get that also.
10:01 pm
a little bit later, probably in three or four months from now, but i do believe we'll have that long before the election in '8. rick: kristin fisher is reporting from the white house, when the president says three to four months, how realistic is that? >> reporter: well, it's definitely possible, but the more pressing question is where does president trump stand, what does he want to do with this bipartisan bill. the alexander-murray bill would temporarily reinstate some the subsidies president trump cut earlier this month. at first he supported it, then he didn't, all in the span of one week. and now we're not entirely sure where we hands. today the senate majority leader, must've mcconnell, asked if president for chair charity. >> what i'm waiting, to hear from president trump what kind of health care bill he might sign. if there's a need for some kind of interim step to stabilize the market, we need a bill the president will actually sign. and i'm not certain yet what the president's looking for here,
10:02 pm
but i'll be happy to bring a bill to the floor if i know president trump would sign it. >> reporter: so the message from mitch mcconnell, mr. president, please make up your mind on this health care bill so that the senate can move on to tax reform and, indeed, just this afternoon we've learned that president trump called in to the weekly gop house conference call and urged them to adopt the senate budget framework for tax reform this week. he also warned them of, quote-unquote, big trouble in the midterms next year if the senate, congress and this president are not able to deliver on tax reform as promised, rick. rick: kristin, there's been a lot of focus the last few days on this feud between the chief of staff kelly and congresswoman wilson. continuing to dominate headlines today. is there an update tonight? >> reporter: right. it really seems to be intensifying. this comes just one day after the funeral of one of the four soldiers killed in niger, sergeant david johnson. he was laid to rest just
10:03 pm
yesterday, and today the feud started with a few new tweet and a continue nation of a nickname from plump -- continuation of a nickname from president trump. wacky congresswoman wilson a disaster for dems. you watch her in action and vote r. well, now the congresswoman is firing back. listen to what she said on another network this morning. >> i think this is going to be this administration's benghazi. this is going to be trump's benghazi, trump's niger. and they need to concentrate on what's happening, what happened and what is happening. >> reporter: and what is happening is a continuation of this investigation by the defense department into exactly what happened in niger. that is continuing at the same time this back and forth between the congresswoman and the president continues to drag on, rick. rick: kristin fisher reporting from the white house tonight. kristin, thank you. congress is expected to tackle
10:04 pm
tax reform soon after the senate passed a $4 trillion budget on friday. house republicans holding a conference call today to talk about the details of the new tax plan. the president addressed it in a "usa today" op-ed saying our economy cannot take off like it should unless we transform our outdated, complex and burdensome tax code, and that is exactly what we are proposing to do. revising our tax code is not just a policy discussion, it is a moral one because we are not talking about the government's money, we are talking about your money, your hard work. and senate majority leader mitch mcconnell giving more details about what tax reform might look like. >> 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 with. that coupled with the regulatory changes the president's already implementing, we think, give us a chance to achieve at least 3%
10:05 pm
growth. rick: garrett tenney is live from our washington bureau. what else are lawmakers saying about this gop tax plan? >> reporter: well, rick, for the last month all we've had to go off of is the framework of what republicans would like to do with tax reform, and what really matters is the details of that plan. that's set to be released within the next week or so. the gop's framework has already been receiving a lot of criticism from lawmakers across both aisles, and that will likely only increase once the full plan is released. republican leaders are stressing that there will be a lot of negotiation involved with this bill, and on friday house speaker paul ryan announced one change that the house plans to make, adding a fifth tax bracket to the previously-announced four, and tailoring it for the richest americans. the white house isn't crazy about adding another bracket, but they are desperate for a legislative win, and on "fox news sunday," budget director mick mulvaney said they are very willing to negotiate if it helps get a bill to the president's
10:06 pm
desk. >> look, we want the very best tax package that can actually pass. and if there's things the house or the senate has to do to get it across the finish line, that's up to them. that fifth bracket is not a priority for the white house. we're not pushing it. we don't necessarily even want it. but it's something in the greater scheme of things if we have to take it, we'll open discussions. >> reporter: and mulvaney said the only area not up for negotiation is insuring the middle class pays less in taxes. as for business, he said the white house would like to get the 20% or lower, down to 15%, but he said the house isn't willing to do that at this point. rick: garrett, how important is it for republicans to reach across the aisle on tax reform, and what are the -- what's the likelihood that it will amount to anything? >> reporter: well, at this point it's still a bit preliminary to see what these efforts result, because we don't know the full details of the tax plan. a lot of this will come in the weeks ahead, but that effort is very much ongoing on a number of
10:07 pm
different fronts including some you might not expect. this week the conservative house freedom caucus, which often clashes with their own party, reached out to a number of democrats to discuss tax reform, and this afternoon one of those democrats said they actually were able to find some common ground. >> there are things that we have in common. my discussion with the leader of the freedom caucus, mr. meadows, we were both concerned about the growth of the, of the deficit and also about the impact that the enormous tax cuts might have on medicare, medicaid. so without getting into details, there was some common ground that at least for discussion purposes along those lines. >> reporter: and the white house has also hosted a number of bipartisan meetings with lawmakers to discuss tax reform. despite those efforts, a lot of republicans are still very skeptical they'll be able to get any help from democrats, and they want gop to take advantage of their control in congress and the white house to insure whatever tax bill they pass is a
10:08 pm
more conservative bill. rick: we will have more on this tax reform plan later this hour. garrett tenney, thank you. on capitol hill, a new bipartisan deal to overhaul health care and revive obamacare subsidies gaining support in the senate, but it could be doomed in the house as some republicans there want the focus to remain on repeal and replace. here's senate minority leader chuck schumer. >> this is a good compromise. it took months to work out. it has a majority, it has 60 senators supporting it. we have all 48 democrats, 12 republicans. i would urge senator mcconnell to put it on the floor immediately, this week. it will pass, and it will pass by a large number of votes. we have a very good deal, mcconnell should put it on the floor, it'll pass. rick: ellison barber has more on this from washington. >> reporter: rick, the battle over cost-sharing reduction payments or csrs is not new, but it is heating up. an administration official tells fox news csr payment wrs not made friday and will not be made
10:09 pm
because congress has not appropriated money for it. csrs are subsidies that are available to some in the obamacare exchanges and meant to lower the out-of-pocket costs for things like deductibles and co-payments. 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 was filed by the obama administration, and the payments continued. a week and a half ago the white house announced their plan to end csr payments to insurance companies. one day later 18 states and the district of columbia sued the administration. they claim 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 payment.
10:10 pm
>> some seven million people will probably be affected. what we went in asking for, the court to give us an emergency ruling to stop what the trump administration did last week or a little bit 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 kind of uncertainty. >> reporter: it's one piece of a health care fight that started long before president trump stepped foot in the white house and is far from over. >> i think on the csrs, what you're seeing the president say is, look, i would be okay with making these payments if i get something for people in exchange, if i get something that actually helps people. >> reporter: president trump is set to attend a policy lunch on capitol hill tuesday with senate republicans. the president told fox's maria bartiromo he still thinks he can get the votes to repeal and replace obamacare. rick? rick: ellison barber in washington. right now police in florida on the hunt for a possible serial killer. they say the deaths of three people may be linked.

not travel alone, to be aware of their surroundings and to turn on their porch lights. further adding to the frustration, police heard the gun shots for the third murder but arrived too late to catch the suspect. family members of the victims are terrified. >> i just hope that someone in the community can speak out. do not be afraid because like my husband said, it could be your daughter, your grandson, your son, your wife, your husband, whoever may be in your family. you don't know when it's going to be your turn. just speak up. just speak up. >> there's no telling how many more families is going to go through it and what, you're going to wait until they get to your door ten before you say something -- doorstep before you say something? >> reporter: police aren't ruling out there's a serial killer on the loose right now, fbi's assisting in the manhunt. rick: so strange they weren't robbed. what possible motive could there be, is a threat kill? >> reporter: no suspect, no motive. and the only lead it seems so far is this surveillance video

of a person walking alone, wearing a jacket and hoodie. this video came just down the street where the first victim, benjamin mitchell, was shot and killed. >> we don't know if this is one 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: unfortunately, we didn't have the surveillance video there, but again, it was a man with a hoodie, long sleeve ares. they don't know if it's a man or a woman, frankly. police are offering a $25,000 reward for any information that leads to a suspect's arrest. rick: we know you'll keep an eye on it. thanks very much. the deadly opioid crisis is stretching first responders to the limit and tearing families apart across the country. >> last month was the highest month with overdoses, we had 118, and we had 11 deaths. rick: how one state is facing the problem head on and whether

10:31 pm
pass the bill, we're hearing the house may go ahead and either take the senate amendments or move quickly to accept the senate amendments, and we may save as many as 10 or 12 legislative days which is a big deal. it does buy us time and more opportunity to get this done before the end of the year. rick: here to talk about it, morgan, a reporter from the hill. >> thanks so much for having me, rick. rick: the president says the fact that health care was so difficult makes taxes easier. is that a fair statement? >> well, i think it remains to be seen, but certainly obamacare, the effort behind obamacare repeal failed multiple times, and i don't think that makes a lot of trump's critics very optimistic about a path forward for tax reform. this is something that has not been able to be accomplished since 1986, so this is definitely a big challenge for the administration, and it's a crucial test for congressional republicans who have yet to really deliver on a legislative accomplishment for the new administration.
10:32 pm
reck rick so are you surprised that the bill passed so is easily in the senate? >> well, the budget resolution is one crucial step toward going and beginning the debate on tax reform. but, certainly, there are a lot of hurdles that republicans face. they need to overcome fractions -- fractures within their own party. they need to figure out exactly what the tax plan looks like. we haven't seen a blueprint, and they've given themselves the deadline for mid november on really releasing what a plan would look like. and if the president, if president's urging them to get this done by the end of the year, that doesn't give them much time. so i think it'sing? it's something that there are a lot of remaining questions on. rick: and amendments are still likely as they work this all out. >> right. and, certainly, we're looking at key players and what their opinions are going to be in terms of what elements of tax reform they like, they don't like. and, obviously, in the senate
10:33 pm
tax reforms -- particularly difficult because republicans don't have a lot of votes to lose if they want to pass it. and certainly democrats will probably be difficult to get on board. but we're also watching for that, whether or not democrats are going to be amenable to any of the gop proposals. rick: we saw something from the president in "usa today," during maria bartiromo's sit-down with the president, he seemed sensitive to concerns about the impact of this tax plan on the middle class. what do you know about that? >> well, he certainly has come out and been very adamant about the fact that he wants to cut taxes for middle class, he wants to help families, and that's been a big part of the things that he's said about tax reform since his campaign. so that obviously is going to be a crucial element of what the president wants. so we'll have to see what republicans on capitol hill actually decide on and then whether or not president trump will push them towards other
10:34 pm
things, whether he will kind of push back on the plans. obviously, that's something that we've seen with the obamacare effort. the president's already signaled that he's soured on the bipartisan proposal right now from senators, and, you know, that's a big question of whether the administration's going to be on board with what comes out from republicans on the hill. rick: the president has also butted heads recently with members of his own party. i'm wondering how that may affect his effort to get everyone together now to pass this. >> yes, that's certainly a major question as well. we've seen him butt heads with john mccain, bob corker and others, and that's a major question to see how that actually affects, you know, the relationship between the administration and people, republicans on the hill and also, you know, more specifically on the tax reform debate. and, you know, continuing efforts to repeal and replace obamacare. rick: and how likely is that? that that might happen. >> >> well, that's something that we've seen fail multiple
10:35 pm
times -- rig rick right. >> really seems like republicans can't get over, you know, issues that they have within their own party. but the president actually indicated on that interview today that he's, he thinks that he has the votes and they can still pass it. he certainly is still optimistic and not giving up hope. and that's, again, like tax reform, one of the major promises that he made during his campaign, so it's something that he wants to deliver on. rick: morgan, we mentioned the president's interview with maria bartiromo. he had an interesting response to her question about his twitter habits. we want to play that and get your reaction. >> i doubt i'd be here if it weren't for social media, to be honest with you. there is a fake media out there, i get treated unfairly, and i have a tremendous platform. so when somebody says something about me, i'm able to go big, bing, bing, and i take care of it. the other way i'd never get the word out. rick: this is probably the first time we've heard a president speak this adamantly about twitter, and the fact that we've
10:36 pm
covered a president's tweets so aggressively. >> i certainly agree with that. trump was tweeting earlier today. he was talking about that ongoing controversy with congresswoman from florida and the issues with his chief of staff criticizing her. trump also tweet about the fake news media, i believe, today as well. certainly, that's one of the major, you know, key points of the way that he kind of messages, and i think that it's certainly his, the way he kind of puts his spin on the presidency. rick: it's also fair to say that it helped, wouldn't you say it helped get him elected? and is now his major way of getting his message out to the people? >> well, i think with the aggressiveness that the news media covers those tweets, i think, yes. [laughter] obviously, he's really leveraged twitter in a way we haven't seen others do, and there's a lot of attention on what he says s. and i also think his tweets come off often, people see them as very frank and unfiltered, and i
10:37 pm
think that's one of the things also that got trump so many of his supporters in the 2016 election as well. rick: you also mentioned his chief of staff, john kelly, and the president was adamant and strident in his defense of kelly in that interview yesterday. where do you see that going this week, this whole dust-up in washington? >> well, it's certainly a controversy that the white house has not succeeded in muffling. and it doesn't seem like they're really interested in muffling it. as i mentioned, trump was tweeting about it earlier today. it's in its sixth day, all these issues about the niger ambush and the ongoing criticism he's gotten since his press conference on monday during which he used the, he came out and basically implied that other presidents hadn't, like him, called the families of fallen soldiers. so i think that this is something that's going to continue into this week and, obviously, his full-throated defense of john kelly shows
10:38 pm
that, you know, he really is going to stand by his chief of staff following that, you know, really spectacular, you know, press conference that kelly delivered from the white house podium on thursday. rick: it was very powerful. morgan, appreciate your time tonight. thank you. >> thanks so much for having me. rick: secretary of state rex tillerson is in saudi arabia pushing to end the gulf crisis. earlier he held a rare joint meeting with the leaders of iraq and saudi arabia in hopes of brokering an alliance aimed at countering iran's growing influence in the region. conor powell has more from jerusalem. >> reporter: secretary of state tillerson arrived in the middle east. both of which have worsened since his last visit to the region in july. the trump administration has aligned itself with the sunni-arab bloc against tehran, and tillerson is meeting with both saudi and iraqi officials in an effort to convince baghdad to distance itself from tehran.
10:39 pm
however, like iran, iraq is a shia-majority country, and there are deep political ties between the two neighbors. with iran playing a major role in iraq's effort to defeat isis. while there are deep suspicions between baghdad and riyadh. tillerson also is trying to find a solution to the saudi-led boycott of qatar. the saudis trying to drive a wedge between qatar and iran. 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 a key city. so while progress is being made on the ground in the fight against isis, diplomatic tangles continue to tear at the seams of the middle east. rick: in case you hadn't heard, there's another billionaire hinting at political aspirations, and he's sharing
