you. have a great weekend, america. i'll see you weekdays 3 p.m. eastern on the fox business busine network. network. >> . elizabeth: we begin with a fox news alert. i'm jillian turner in for l elizabeth prann. leland: morning to you. robert mueller's investigation between possible collusion with russia may have its first charges. it's not been verified who they might indict or what the charges are, but the reports are that the person could be taken into custody as soon as monday. and literally details are developing through the minutes, hi, garrett. >> we've teached out to the special counsel's office for report and we don't know who may
9:01 am
be indicted and we do know individuals that robert mueller's team has been looking into, in the investigation into russia meddling. they've raided the home of paul manafort, a person of interest in a number of ongoing congressional investigations due to his previous work lobbying on behalf of pro russian groups in ukraine. last night manafort's attorney told fox news neither he nor anyone on the legal team had been informed of indictment, which would have been if charged had been filed against manafort. another target of mueller's investigation has been president trump's former national security advisor michael flynn. in particular, investigators reportedly were trying to determine if flynn made a role in trying to get hillary clinton's e-mails from russian hackers during the investigation. flynn's attorneys have not responded, but former trump campaign chairman corey
9:02 am
lewandowski believes that no one such as flynn or manafort did anything wrong. >> this last nothing to do with the president. if there were bad players on the outside that had a periphery or a small role in some type of the campaign, my guess is these charges have nothing to do with the campaign whatsoever because i was there. there was no collusion, cooperation or coordination with russia, so, let's see what mueller does, but the dam is not breaking. the only thing that's breaking is the democrats. >> robert mueller took over the fbi's investigation into russia's election meddling in may and in that directive he was given broad powers to investigate any matters that arise in the course of his investigation which is why we've seen reports that his team is looking into the finances of the president and the president's team. the trump russian dossier as well as the role that the democrats played in that dossier and the wall street journal is reporting na the investigation could be filed as soon as monday. we'll keep you updated, liz. >> updated throughout the next couple of hours, guests coming
9:03 am
up on this as well. thank you, gillian. >> new revelations recording that explosive dossier and unverified ties between the president and russia. >> hey, gillian, democrats say that that dossier is nothing more than opposition research, but the white house, it's calling it collusion with the russians, plain and simple. >> congress has spent a great deal of time on this, a better part of a year. all of your news organizations have actually spent probably a lot of money on this as well which we would consider probably a pretty big waste. i think that our position hasn't changed since day one and i think we are seeing now that if there was any collusion with russia, it was between the dnc and the clintons and certainly not our campaign. >> the white house press secretary was referring to there was the revelations that the clinton campaign and dnc paid for this now infamous dossier during the campaign and capped
9:04 am
off what was a pretty good week for the white house. the budget passed the house after passing the senate last week and lays the groundwork for a 1 1/2 trillion dollar tax cut. and it also paves a clear path for tax reform. the administration's top priority. now, the house ways and means committee is expected to introduce a bill sometime next week, and you can expect one of the big outstanding issues that still needs to be resolved is whether to reduce how much people can contribute to their 401(k)'s or retirementization savings accounts, pretax and news about the economy and president trump was tweeting about it. and there's little reporting about the great gdp numbers, 3% despite the big hurricane hits. best consecutive quarters in years. so, president trump certainly seems to be feeling pretty good, as he decides to spend another saturday at his golf course in virginia. but, you know, hanging over his head has to be what our garrett
9:05 am
tenney was just talking about and that is reportedly that the special counsel just filed its first charges in the russian investigation and that those charges could be announced as early as monday. >> thanks, kristin. leland: for reaction let's bring in a white house reporter at the wall street journal. for as much as the president is complaining about journalism. headline, u.s. economy picks up steam. now, comes the debate. causation or correlation of 3% gdp growth and president trump taking office? >> well, it's 3% gdp growth coming on another strong quarter of 3.1% makes it the strongest six month stretch since around mid 2014. as with all of these reports there's always this debate often on partisan lines. the administration says this is
9:06 am
proof of president trump's strong leadership and that the economy will become stronger once they pass the tax overhaul. the democrats say the president is riding on the heels of a strong economy from president obama and it could be threatened in the future. leland: as kristin pointed out. it's been a pretty good week for president trump and if nothing else, whether you say you're riding on the coat tails of the past administration or not, the dow and the markets in general have been on fire since the president's election. hard to imagine that that november 6th date is just coincidental with the markets taking off. >> certainly, and the president talks a lot about the stock market ap often complains there hasn't abouten enough coverage of it for it. it's coverage for the wall street journal and we see reports. the president focuses on issues may not be the ones that people are talking about in the studio, for example. the russian investigation.
9:07 am
this morning the president's focus on the economy and nice remarks from jimmy carter and the president's opioid announcement on thursday that this his administration is going to step up to attack the epidemic by labeling it. leland: and your organization among others are reporting, reuters and cnn, also, that there is a sealed indictment out there. against who or how many or the charges, all of that still unknown. from your guys reporting, is this just the beginning of mueller's possible indictments or does it seem like the investigation may be wrapping up? >> what the wall street journal reported late last night, at least one person was charged on friday that that person could be taken into custody as early as monday, but certainly, the question at this point is how many people and what specifically they will be charged with. the wall street journal did report it was in conjunction with mr. mueller's probe into possible russian collusion during the 2016 elections.
9:08 am
as you know, the administration denied that and the trump campaign denied that and the russians denied it, too. leland: conceivably when you have a special counsel investigation they could be looking into other things or find other things along the way that were crimes that are not necessarily related to the initial scope. so in fairness you've got to point out if there is an indictment, it could be about a number of things, whether they are about what happened during the election, perhaps something that they found out. this pivot we're seeing from the white house and now almost every time the white house hears the word russia, they go back to, well, we should point out it was hillary clinton colluding with the russians and paid for the dossier and make it around in this boomarang effect. does the white house think they have a winning strategy or a point to get to or throwing smoke. >> the white house has a consistent way they've
9:09 am
responded. they've denied collusion. they say it's a witch hunt. and overblown. and sarah huckabee sanders when she was asked if it was costly and yielded anything. and certainly point back to the possible democratic collusion. there's been a head-snapping of stories this week of the we've learned that a conservative online publication retained fusion gps, all they they say at that they stopped using them before this dossier. so there's a lot of people mixed up in something with lines that may or may not actually join up or if they could. or how they join up if at all. leland: a tangled web in washington. it's almost like you need reporters like yourself to sort it out. thanks for being with us. >> thank you. >> tragic news out of afghanistan today. yet another u.s. service member has lost their life. the soldier died after being injured in a helicopter crash in logar province and six other
9:10 am
crew members have been injured. they say this is not a result of enemy action. an investigation into exactly what went wrong is ongoing. leland: depraved and reckless, that's how santa cruz county sheriff's describing a man that allegedly started a fire that injured a dozen firefighters. he's accused of burglary as well as looting property from his evacuated neighbors. officials is the suspect set the so-called bear creek fire after a domestic argument. at these two houses were destroyed, along with $7 million in damage and obviously, so many firefighters put in harm's way >> florida's guardian angels will be out in force tonight and every night through halloween. this volunteer patrol of 20 people is keeping their neighbors safe after a string of unsolved murders in a tampa neighborhood of seminole
9:11 am
heights. police are dedicating extra resources to finding a shooter they think is responsible for killing three people. an open enrollment begins next week on state and federal health care exchanges. despite massive cuts to the affordable care act advertising budget and general confusion over health care. politico's health care reporter joins me now with some analysis on this for you. good morning, thank you for being with us. >> thank you for having me. >> i want to ask you first, more broadly speaking, republicans have failed so far in the bid to repeal and replace the affordable care act, but it seems like president trump has decided that he's going to modify the affordable care act through executive action, using his presidential prerogatives as much as he can, does that sound right? >> yes, for sure. we've definitely seen a series of decisions the last several months that have increased, after congress ass bid to repeal
9:12 am
the law, has stalled for now. so, we've seen, as you mentioned, there have been cuts to advertising. there have been-- there's an executive order that the president signed recently directing agencies to do whatever they can to loosen up certain regulations, and we're starting to see that now, and so, this upcoming open enrollment season, i think, is going to be different from what we've seen from the last ones. >> it sound like death by a thousand pinpricks. i don't know if it will get the president where he wants to be on this, but as you mentioned, the new plans for rollout, we've heard that the white house has slashed the ad budget by 90% already. do you think this is going to have real changes for the perspective for how many people are going to sign up on exchanges? >> i think what we've heard from experts and from people who, you know, ran operations from the government for the law, before the trump administration was here, yes, it definitely will. tv ads in particular, will not be airing this current
9:13 am
enrollment season and that will definitely have an affect nationally on enrollment numbers, because it's the broadest reach tactic in order to get people to sign up. so, i think we'll definitely see possibly enrollment declines after this current season because of what's happening. >> on enrollment. wednesday, healthcare.gov had potential window shopping, you can go online and see what it is for 2018 and enrollment starts november 1st. what are people taking away from the previews. are they happy with their premiums, upset with premium or something in between? >> it highly depends on the situation, but a big difference that varies, whether someone qualifies for subsidies or not. even if they do, and premiums are seeing rate increases we're seeing all over the country.
9:14 am
if they have help with their premiums, the hit to the pocket book is limited. if you don't get subsidies, those plans are quickly unaffordable for you and questionable whether you'd bioinsurance at all. >> we've heard predictions of some of the rates, some of the popular affordable care act rates are going up somewhere around 34%. does that sound right to you? is that really the number? >> so that's an average number and that's looking nationwide, and so we've had independent studies that have shown that. if someone, again, qualifies for tax credits to help them afford healths insurance, they're not necessarily going to see a 34% increase. but, we are definitely going to see some pretty hefty price hikes around the country. >> now, this is a sensitive question, but one we have to ask, who do you think is responsible for the premium hike? and it's a good question because president trump has pointed out time and time again that he puts the blame on the original legislation, on the affordable
9:15 am
care act itself, but a lot of folks pushing back. democrats, private sector firms say that, you know what? these premium hikes were not inevitable. it's a result of chaos in the marketplace that you, president trump, have created. where do you shake out on this. >> health insurance premiums go up every year without question and i think even before the trump administration was in office, we saw very hefty rate increases, all over the country, when it came to these exchange plans. that being said, recent decisions that have been made have perhaps exacerbated those price increases. we've seen just this past week, washington state says, average premiums are going up 36%, but 10% of that number is because of the white house's decision recently to eliminate certain subsidies for the law. so, it's really, there are lots of factors that go into this and can we really blame one person or another? >> maybe it's a simplistic
9:16 am
question. eventually, people will see what they like about their plans and they don't as we move farther and farther into 2018. we hope to have you back to talk about that. thanks so much for joining us? >> thank you. >> leland. leland: breaking over the weekend, as it's now late saturday afternoon in spain, and the central government there is now taking control of the break away catalonia region. this is just hours after separatist leaders pass a declaration of independence. as you can see, thousands of independence opponents are rallying in madrid after the catalonia was dissolved. new measures were taken to halt the successionist drive. pope francis met with high level european leaders and the united states and eu are backing spain's government. where does this go from here? do you get the sense that they
9:17 am
want their own full fledged country or more autonomy from spain? how does it play out. >> they have a fair degree of autonomy. they are going for their own country. this is something they've been agitating for years. it's interesting to see this quickly in the aftermath of the referendum. leland: it seems like the spanish government is going toe to toe on this. >> we expect folks to line up for large-scale protests across barcelona. it's a fire waiting to be rekindled. leland: now you wonder if it turns violent. >> absolutely, that's the fear. leland: for sure. >> coming up, good news as president trump reach his goal of 3% growth despite three major hurricanes this season. we'll talk to the committee chair diane black about that, as well as congress's push for tax reform. a bellwether election in virginia, what are chances of
9:18 am
9:22 am
>> for the first time in nearly a decade, the house and senate have passed an annual budget. this, of course, sets the stage for the massive tax reform package promised by the president and the president took the opportunity friday to offer his thanks for a job well done, tweeting, diane black of tennessee, the highly respected house budget chairwoman did a great, in capital letters, job setting up tax cuts and joining us now the congresswoman herself. nice to see you, ma'am, thank you for being with us. >> it's great to be with you. thanks for having me today. leland: 216-212 was the final vote count. the republicans have a lot bigger majority than that. why so close? and does that perhaps make awe little nervous when the votes become perhaps more consequential? >> well, of course, when you're on the floor and you're watching that board you want to get to that requisite number.
9:23 am
it was 215, we got 216. there are members from some states where there are high state and local taxes that did have concerns. i think we'll address those this week and what we'll do in the final product, we put it out and we're listening to them. that has been an issue, especially for states like mine in tennessee where we have low taxes and we're trying to make sure that there's equity in what each state pays and what they can write off. it's still an issue that we're addressing and i give credit to my chairman brady obviously working to the members that get consensus. this is important though. >> there's no question that it's important. the details are important as well. you bring up something like the state and local deductions, something that's far from decided. there's a huge number of tax breaks, everybody from the dairy industry to the oil industry, to the realtors are lobbying you guys about which tax breaks to eliminate and which not to. so much of this has been done in
9:24 am
secrecy, has that been a winning strategy, do you think? >> i think that one of the things that's so important is to let people to know what our goal is at the end of the day. and the goal at the end of the day to make sure that we get the economy moving. that we have a jolt to the economy and that we look at those in the middle income that need that relief the most. we want to see their wages go up. we want to see more jobs created and really, that helps everybody at all income levels, but, really, our focus is on those in the middle income. so, yes, there are going to be some things that perhaps are going to be changes in those industries, but overall, when they see the plan, i think that we're going to find that people will be happy that we are able to reduce the size of the code and with fairness, give relief to those in the middle income. leland: there's been-- there's a lot of words here that need some defining. >> sure. leland: you can't push goal into a tax bill that gets passed and
9:25 am
when you talk about middle income and middle class, those need specifics. when do the american people get to see the specifics of which brackets exist and i'll ask you, what do you define as middle income? >> well, we'll be putting that out there this upcoming week and i don't want to get ahead of the committee, but we'll be putting the brackets out there so people can see. again, our goal is to simplify. it's always been to simplify the code, but also to make sure that we are focusing on middle income and i think you'll like what we've put out there. leland: i don't know whether-- it doesn't matter whether i like it, it matters whether your constituents and the american people like it. >> that's right. leland: when it comes to this issue, the timing here has been so compressed. the last time tax reform was done under ronald reagan it took nearly a year and large amount of back and forth a large amount of time for the americans people to digest in two weeks. if we listen to your leadership and the white house, the american people have less than a
9:26 am
month from the time they get the detailed plan you're promising in the next week to be able to think about it, digest it and possibly change it before the deadline to get this done by the end of the year. is that enough time for everyone to get a say in how this is going to affect them? >> well, let me go back to, i've been in congress now nor seven years, been on the ways and means committee and from the very first day i was in the ways and means committee we began to talk about tax reform. we did put a plan out there some two years ago, we worked on for four years and we put that out there and people have been chewing on that and giving their feedback, it's not a bill-- >> if you had the plan two years ago and sort of off the shelf, ready to go, why have we gone through all of this brain damage over the past couple of months on this, going back and forth, and all of these false starts? why not just pull the one from four years ago off? >> oh, i don't think it was false starts and that was a
9:27 am
discussion copy. it was not something that we ever intended putting in law, it was to get out there and get the discussion started. the tax code is 70,000 pages long. as the chairman said, it's bigger than the size of the bible, ten times bigger than the size of the bible, no good news. it's a huge document and it's not one that's easily done. what we did, we put out the discussion copy and that discussion draft has kind of been our blueprint by which we're working. we've been listening. believe me, we've had all the way from individuals to corporations, to pass-throughs, small businesses that have been coming in and talking to us and giving us ideas. we've had a number of hearings, it's not as though we've gone dark. we have been working on it and been listening to the american people all the way across all of those sectors for the last two years. leland: we've got to go. >> a copy out there. leland: appreciate it, and congratulations on the president, i'm sure it's a good weekend worthy of celebration there in tennessee. nice to see you, ma'am. >> thank you, great to be with
9:28 am
you. leland: gillian. gillian: wayne state gets red-hot national attention. and why a race could have the national attention. and after a storm is gone, how people impacted by superstorm sandy are doing five years later. >> i didn't think it would take five years to get back into the house. had i known that, i probably would have left. ♪
9:29 am

9:30 am
like all standardized medicare supplement insurance plans, they help cover some of what medicare doesn't pay. i did a little research. with a medicare supplement plan, you'll be able to stay with your doctor... oh you know i love that guy. mmmmhmmm. these types of plans let you choose any doctor or hospital that accepts medicare patients. and, there are no networks. is this a one-size fits all kind of thing? no. there are lots of plan options. it all depends on what we need. and how much we want to spend. call now to request your free [decision guide]. it could help you find an aarp medicare supplement plan that's right for you. what happens when we travel? the plans go with us. anywhere in the country. i like that. you know what else? unitedhealthcare insurance company has years and years of experience. what do you say? i'm in. join the millions already enrolled in the only medicare supplement insurance... plans endorsed by aarp.

(avo) if you'rand you've triedlly pain any number of laxatives, probiotics, and fiber, it could be wearing on you. tell your doctor what you've tried and how long you've been at it. linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children less than six,
9:32 am
and it should not be given to children six to less than eighteen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea, sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain, and swelling. ask your doctor if 90 days of linzess may be right for you. >> russia, the global uranium industry, and domestic politics. now, serious allegations involving hillary clinton and the obama administration will be investigated by two separate congressional panels. caroline shively joins us with the latest on this fast-developing story. >> hi there, gillian. this week president trump called the uranium one deal a modern day watergate.
9:33 am
uranium one is a canadian company that has access to 20% of the uranium production capacity in the u.s. in 2010 the obama administration allowed the sale of the country to the russian agency. hillary clinton was one of the nine members on committee of foreign investments who allowed it, one of the steps it had to go through. before the deal was completed, the fbi had information that russian officials had used bribery and extortion to increase russia's nuclear interest here. at the same time the clinton foundation received millions of donations for invests in uranium one. president trump says he is looking forward to hearing about the testimony from a confidential fbi informant about the investigation. the democrats argue he improperly pushed the justice department to lift a gag order on the informant to do it. with the purpose of distracting from his own russia troubles. adam schiff, the ranking democrat on the house intelligence committee released this statement, quote, the
9:34 am
prospect of the president sought to intervene will now need to be a key part of that investigation to determine if improper political leverage was applied to target his political foe. now to the white house. >> the president has pushed for transparency. if that's what you're referring to when dealing with congress, i know that's probably something new for a president to actually push for transparency, but that's what he's done. >> the republican-led committees investing the uranium one deal are the house oversight and intelligence committees. gillian: thanks, caroline. lela leland. leland: a couple of weeks ago we were talking about hurricanes. well, now, we're talking about winter weather, it's making an early appearance in the midwest, and all of that precipitation heading for the east coast just in time for the monday morning commute. meteorologist adam at the weather center, when can we expect the big impact. hi, adam. >> hey there, leland.
9:35 am
you mentioned the tropics, that actually plays a small part in that as well. here is the big cold front. we're seeing heavy rain stretching from the gulf of mexico up towards canada. this is a true cold front there on the back side of this, bringing very chilly temperatures. now, there's a low pressure system in the tropics as well through florida through the weekend and these will combine and bring part of the moisture you're eventually going to see. here is your future forecast and there is your cold front and there is your low pressure system moving through the tropics. they run through each other and the entire system lifts up to the northeast and taking you to late sunday and early monday morning and that's going to be a big rain maker when it finally makes its way that direction. take a look at numbers and this is widespread getting up to five or six inches of rain and that all coming on late sunday into monday, stretching in some cases into tuesday, but again, five to six inches through a wide area there. that obviously means at least
9:36 am
the potential for some flooding, some flash flooding as you get closer and closer to the halloween holiday. otherwise the story is more immediate impact and this is a true cold front and this is where it stretches right now, you see in front of it, wind chills in the mid 60's, back behind, there's some feels-like temperatures 28 degrees in minneapolis. 33 in detroit. so this is a very cold air mass that's sweeping across the country and dropping temperatures quickly. freeze warnings stretching all the way from portions of texas up into wisconsin. so this is a major cold front and there's a lot happening out there, leland and we're going to be tracking the changes as we get closer and closer to halloween. leland: you have to wonder what trick-or-treating weather is going to be like. perhaps some jackets. >> exactly. leland: some jackets, either under or over the costume. >> warm costumes. leland: dress as a ski racer. adam, thanks. gillian: this weekend marks the fifth anniversary of superstorm
9:37 am
sandy that devastated large parts of the united states. this was then a massive weather system that killed more than 100 people and destroyed neighborhoods and fragile coastlines and resulted in an estimated $65 billion in damages, but today, thousands of homes and businesses have been rebuilt in the hardest hit regions like new jersey's coastline. federal grant money has helped, but some residents continued to struggle with flood insurance claims. leland: well, second to last weekend before the virginia's governor's race election and there are big questions. if president trump's support is enough for fellow republican ed gillespie. here are the latest polls. well, it's a tossup. one poll has democrat norram and other poll shows gillespie in the lead and believe whichever one you want. we'll bring in governor george allen of the great state of virginia. we know which one you would like to believe, ed gillespie, off
9:38 am
the campaign trail, here is one of the flyers you guys had out there. >> i just introduced ed. leland: just introduced him. how was the reception? >> great, it was fairfax reception and jill vogel running, and there was a lot of enthusiasm and excitement. i'll take it from what ed said, it's neck and neck and the polls are disparate. leland: because the polls were oh, so accurate during 2016. >> any pollster will tell you, it's more and more difficult to get accurate polling. leland: yeah. >> and it's going to be a lower turnout than in a presidential race, and the world's controlled by those who show up. and so, what our side is trying to do and i'm sure the other is, is trying to get their folks out to vote. i generally think that anybody who pays taxes, works for a living or cares about their
9:39 am
families would be for ed gillespie because his idea is to make virginia nor competitive for jobs and make it ideal. leland: you make an interesting point. the points you made are traditional conservative value. traditional point. former chair of the rnc, traditionalist candidate in every since of the world. on the other hand about as opposite as a republican candidate as president trump you could possibly come up with and in many ways though, he's running a trumpesque campaign on the culture issue. we see a lot of ads on his opponent are on immigration rather than what i'm going to do for tax cut. is this proving the culture war is still vie bankrupt in virginia? virginia-- vibrant in virginia? >> a state has energy policies, right to work laws, the furthest state north on the eastern seaboard with a right to work law with an opponent not supportive of that.
9:40 am
and people care about schools and they care about safety in their communities. in northern virginia there have been gangs who are made up of people who are illegally in this country and for him not to bring that up for safety in communities would actually be ignoring one of the top responsibilities of the state government. so, yeah, taxes are important, second amendment rights are important, public safety, schools, a variety of issues. so, ed's talking about issues that matter to people. in fact, he's got about 18 position papers, and really, a well-laid out plan for what he would do as governor and i think he'd keep his promises. leland: still, i appreciate-- >> and to say he's different than donald trump. who in the heck else is like donald trump? i mean, last year's election, you all covered it. it's unprecedented, historically, no one is like him. leland: fair enough to say-- >> yes, a return to normalcy. leland: fair enough to say he's pulling some pages out of the trump play book in terms of what
9:41 am
he's talking about in the culture. and you think how things have happened since the inauguration, that the democrats haven't won any really meaningful special elections, if they won this, it would be significant at least in their minds, on the other hand in ed gillespie wins it, that would be extraordinarily significant as well. >> it would be in that hillary clinton won virginia by 5 or 6% of the vote. i think that ed is focused on issues that matter in the communities throughout virginia. i know the other side is trying to demonize him with donald trump. people in the hampton roads area are happy with the bill left of the military, a primary role of the federal government in ending that sequester. and that's happening in washington. leland: we've had the congressman on from there a number of times talking about support there. you've been out on the trail and we know that mike pence has been out on the trail and-- >> marco rubio will be in on monday. leland: big names. election coming up in a little less than two weeks. thank you, sir.

9:49 am
or may have had had help particularly on that trip to mexico city. i've been convinced for a long time that in the six days he was there, he did a lot. it wasn't just going to the soviet and cuban embassies, that accounts for several hours of six days. it's pretty clear from what we know right now that he discussed trying to get a visa, he wanted to defect again mainly to cuba, but i think he was hoping the soviet union would help him get into cuba, but we've seen some indications that, for example, there may have been someone riding down with him to mexico city. i don't think it was a pal he met at the book depository. gillian: and that trip, you mentioned, that's not a week before the assassination. >> it was seven weeks. gillian: excuse me, that's what i meant, seven weeks. before i let you go here, what about the rollout in washington
9:50 am
politicizing all of this? does that surprise you, the degree to which people are mud slinging over what was released, what wasn't, what was redacted, what isn't? is that surprising or just more washington being washington? >> well, no, i would have been surprised if it hadn't been politicized. everything is politicized. we're so polarized. you know, you could get into an argument about when the sun is going to rise or set, you know? and democrats will be on one side and republicans on the other and they each have their own set of facts today. you're not only entitled to your own set of opinions, you're entitled to your own set of facts. everything is politicized. look, what's going to matter is whether we get all of this stuff. some of the key documents are still out there. the president has said august the-- i mean, april 26th so that's what i'm looking for and i want them all by then if you're listening, mr. president. gillian: larry, we want to get you back once you've gone through everything and get the

10:01 am
office declined request for comment on these reports but sources italy with the marital the paper the indictment was ordered to be sealed by a federal judge, what we don't know is what those charges are, who is being indicted and if more than one person is facing charges. the last with excellence robert mueller epstein has been conducting a wide-ranging investigation into russian meddling and that has included several former aides to donald trump. earlier this summer fbi agents raided the home of the chairman, paul man is about afort who is being investigated for money laundering and tax issues. he told fox news neither he nor anyone on the legal team had been informed of an indictment which would normally happen if charges had been filed. the fbi is investigating donald trump's former national security adviser michael flynn to determine if he is connected with russian hackers during the

election to get hillary clinton's emails. attorneys not responded to our requests for comment but former trump campaign chairman corey lewandowski does not think anyone close to the campaign will be charged. >> robert mueller is doing his job whatever that entails and has filed charges against somebody, we don't know what they are or who they are against or if they are felony charges or if this will be against one or multiple people. let's take a deep breath for a second, let's see what happens on monday. reaches robert mueller was given broad powers to investigate anything that comes up in the course of his investigation even if it is not directly related to election meddling and 6-month in we see how those efforts are expanding to a lot of areas. the wall street journal is reporting the first could take place as soon as monday. jillian: we will be waiting for
10:03 am
that. leland: former distant attorney general and prosecutor robert driscoll, appreciate you coming in on short notice. so few facts, big picture, what does the indictment mean and there's the possibility of something tomorrow or monday, do we find out who it is? >> i would not read too much into this. and sometimes -- it is not necessarily the case. monday morning we will find out who it is, it could be a range of things. leland: if there is this
10:04 am
indictment, it is not specifically about russian meddling in the today 16 election, could be very tangential or something robert mueller found out, people we know or somebody else? >> to the clinton years. it ended up about being something else completely. at some.to keep in mind, robert mueller is free to look at taxes, lobbying filings, things like that could be involved but not touch on the issue of russia collusion. leland: a famous prosecutor, robert mueller fits that category by all standards, can indict a ham sandwich. does there have to be something here or can this be a tactic to squeeze somebody? >> it could be significant, it
10:05 am
will be scrutinized. defendants with resources, i have faith in the process but your second point could be used to squeeze somebody, has a possibility. collateral issues are lobbying filing issue could be used to squeeze information about something else. >> it would make sense for some of those cases, they are not conspiracies, filing a certain date or form and you don't do it and it is not open and shut easily. laura: leland: is this the end of the mueller investigation or the end of the beginning where they are looking at the low-level people as corey lewandowski put out. transitioning to higher-level folks? >> it depends how collateral the
10:06 am
indictment is, a number of things, could be a false statement, obstruction of justice when someone destroyed documents and could have an effect in terms of telling witnesses you better cooperate or we will go after you. >> how much more complicated has this gotten because of russian involvement not related to the trump campaign but the clinton campaign as well and on top of that, and the fbi informant talking to congress, robert mueller was involved in the uranium one investigation, more complicated, less complicated or smoke here? >> it depends on where mueller draws the line on these things, some of the collusion issues for
10:07 am
either side, collusion is not a crime. it is in the united states could come you have to find a crime somewhere. i am not sure mueller will see his mandate as including something like that deal. leland: if he pulled on the string hard enough and said things fell out along the way, sean hannity tweeted hillary clinton indicted, we don't know where this investigation ends. >> we don't. there could be a referral to someone else. of these things could expand and politically it muddies the waters a great deal because both sides have to be careful how absolute they want to make their statement about how serious, any potential allegations. leland: the law of unintended

white house applauds the congressional investigation. >> i can tell you we think there is a lot of cause for concern regarding that deal that should be looked into. >> congressional democrats call the investigation unilateral and partisan. they don't like the white house, justice department to recommend a gag order in a confidential fbi informant be lifted so the person to testify before congress. adam schiff, ranking democrat in intelligence committee believes, quote, these allegations are alarming and raise important questions and concerns congress cannot ignore. a cornerstone of our democracy is the justice department and fbi must be able to make decisions without white house influence. hillary clinton was asked about the investigation on c-span, she called it baloney. leland: this coming week we should learn the details about

10:11 am
i'm okay passing this budget because it is just a blueprint, something we don't follow. the goal was to get through the budget to get to tax reform and that is what i mean. i'm always concerned about budgets especially passing a budget that has $1.5 trillion deficit over the next we 10 years but i know we don't follow these are the true drivers are mandatory spending and that is what we have to look at. leland: all this focus on tax cuts and tax reform, that many billions our that many trillions out, to cut taxes, virtually 0 discussion of cutting spending. is a time to have that discussion or simply too unpopular as of now. >> i keep saying that, not the next generation, we got to get these tax cuts done, we need to grow the economy and i'm in with
10:12 am
donald trump to make sure we do this, got to grow the economy, have the highest tax rate in the world, statutorily, effectively, in the top 3 or four so we have to reduce that so business can grow, we have to reduce our taxes for middle income americans so they can help us grow the economy but that won't be the entire answer. we have to look at our spending, mandatory spending -- we can get to that as well. >> the president said he doesn't want to cut entitlements, social security, medicare specifically. you are uniquely honest in that you call this a stunt and a gimmick. some of your fellow members understand that are not willing to say it on national television, but by that counts, it took 216-212 votes, barely get to 215 to pass something that is a stunt and a gimmick. how possibly in the next month or so can you get enough votes to pass something so meaningful with so many constituencies in it is real tax reform? >> i respect all the members of
10:13 am
congress are representing different districts. most who didn't vote for the budget are concerned about state and local income taxes and i spoke to some of them and they are concerned as we move forward and we have to look at these things. i'm pretty unique saying i support reducing taxes and not looking to shift because some of these changes will shift tax expenses of somebody else. that is what they are concerned about, constituents. we have to bring these tax rates down. we had a hearing a couple months back and all i can hear is people saying the same thing, we need to reduce rates. leland: everybody agrees on that and outside the office you had all the lobbyists for the oil companies and realtors and drug companies and every other industry saying you need to cut taxes on everybody but also keep special deductions and whether it is the oil depletion allowance or depreciate private
10:14 am
jets. who are you going to start saying no to? that will start next week. >> we got to look at the next generation and make tough decisions. we have to get tax rates reduced, this is about growing the economy. we can't get the expense on it. when lobbyists are coming in, i am a business guy and have been for three decades. give me a pro forma. when you reduce tax rates, you don't need those. >> ever seen a pro forma that worked out? >> absolutely, it will be interesting, no doubt everybody will be in next week but they have to realize lowering taxes is important. >> i admire any pro forma that works and see it play out. jillian: cabinet secretaries on the move internationally to advance the united states

10:16 am
the same as it started, no evidence of collusion between the president and anyone. if any collusion took place it would be between the dnc and clintons and we see all the things the democrats accused this president of doing they were guilty of themselves. >> democrats say not true, that dossier was nothing more than standard opposition research during the course of a combat of campaign. donald trump in virginia, despite the news the special counsel reportedly filed first charges, writing pretty high this week, please the house passed the budget paving the way for tax reform and the number in the chairman sometime next

10:23 am
9/11 as a result. i was astounded the obama administration wants safe haven reform would not consider this main effort. let's take it down, 5 years later we finally did but during that time it grew into an iconic organization, expanded into 30 countries and attacked nato countries 39 times in close to 3 years. jillian: you mentioned isis being an iconic terror organization, what about raqqqa, what can you tell us about the strategic importance to the islamic state? >> having lost something they claimed as their territory and they were going to expand into other sunni arab states, and they lost. they are not going away and
10:24 am
their ideology is out there. people are motivated and inspired and the second thing is they have a virtual caliphate that exists. you wrote and article about it in the hill. this is astounding because in 2012, several hundred fighters in iraq hiding in the shadows of baghdad. he saw the stagnated civil war in syria and the opportunity to establish a safe place and moved into raqqa, using the internet, he grew that in 18 months to 30,000 fighters that came from all over the world, they had high end cinematography, high end messaging and all of those with some exceptions came from outside iraq and syria and that was the force used in
10:25 am
january 2014 to invade iraq. jillian: extraordinary sophistication when it came to all things online insiderspace. i'm curious to lean on you in this matter. do you have a prescription for this, what is your best recommendation for donald trump, secretary matus, if they were sitting here right now how do you think of that ideology? >> a great question. as slow as we were to take down the physical caliphate, 5 years, we were slow to react to the virtual caliphate and what they have been doing, we are on it now, we have cybercommand, special operations command and central command which has the responsibility, making penetration here and when they want a message and need the message in terms of directing
10:26 am
attacks they use encrypted apps out there for anyone to use but there are inspirational, motivational messages out there on the internet and we are beginning to take that down. >> this is the larger challenge the president faces for the remainder of his tenure as president of the united states at least internationally. do you agree or not agree? >> when he was in riyadh and called out anyone in terms of what they had to do, drive them out of mosques, schools, gathering places, stop financing through your citizens and country and said we have to undermine this ideology and it is generational. when they gather in a group, we have to use military operations to kill and capture. undermining ideology is the challenge and offering these young people an alternative
