om china. and leave more debt to our kids. keep your word. tax cuts shouldn't add to the national debt. >> see you tomorrow. "outnumbered" starts now. >> sandra: fox news alert, we are waiting, from president trump after house republicans released their much anticipated tax bill. they are calling for some major cuts to taxes. they want to preserve current rules for retirement accounts popular with middle-class americans, but they want to limit deductions for home owner home owners. a move that could generate a lot of opposition from republicans in states with high taxes like new york and new jersey. this is "outnumbered." i am sandra smith in here today, harris faulkner. trish regan. former deputy spokesperson for the state department, marie harf. and today's #oneluckyguy, the host of the david webb show on the sirius xm channel.

he is outnumbered with some very strong feelings on what we are learning this hour. >> sandra: what we need to learn on this as we were talking about before the show, give us some details. give us the numbers on this. we need those answers. >> trish: i've got some answers for you. >> david: texting your congressman and staff. >> sandra: we have got someone standing by on capitol hill, mike emanuel giving us those details waiting on remarks from president trump as house republicans are releasing the text of their long awaited tax overhaul. it will preserve the popular 401(k) retirement account. but it would put tax detentions for mortgage on newly purchased homes. it would also limit deductibility of local property taxes paid to the corporate tax rate would go down from 35 to 20%, and it would nearly double the standard deduction which they say will benefit

middle-class earners. >> this plan is for the middle class families in this country who deserve a break. it is for the families who are out there living paycheck to paycheck who just keep getting squeezed. about half the country today is living paycheck to paycheck and a lot more people are about a paycheck away from living paycheck to paycheck in this country, and this is going to help give people relief. >> sandra: lets go straight to a chief congressional correspondent as promised, mike emanuel life on capitol hill for us. >> good afternoon to you. leaders say home making $59,000, the median household income will give a tax cut of $1182. expect to hear that number a lot. here are some other key facts and figures in this g.o.p. tax plan. below are the individual rate 20, 12%, 25%, 35%, and maintain the top rate of 39.6%. decrease in standard deduction eliminate special interest

deduction, establishes a family tax credit, preserve the child tax credit. the chairman of the ways and means committee said this will provide relief to the american people. >> that main street business making 62,000 a year working day and night and weekends, a tax cut of over $3,000 for that main street business. that's your money. you earned it. you deserve to keep it. and you should be able to use it for whatever you want. >> for those from high tax states, the plan includes allowing people to write off property taxes up to $10,000, but does away with some of the other state and local tax deductions. we caught up with the new york republican who said it's going to take some time to study the plan. >> i'm going to analyze to see what's best for the people that i represent. there's a lot of things that are supposed to be helpful. we will see what's best for the people that i represent. >> as expected, the house

democratic leader blasted the g.o.p. tax proposal. >> while republicans ambushed the american people with this half-baked tax bill, written in the dark to be in congress before it is understood, we already know some of what to be the truth. it raises taxes on the middle class, millions of middle-class families across the country. >> i bumped into a number of house lawmakers in the hallways who say they are very excited to get going on a major item on their agenda. they say this is not a done deal. plenty of work to get done. they are excited to get rolling. >> we are too. mike emanuel, thank you for that. let's dig right into this. let's start out with this. the median household income in this country, $59,000. so they are talking about an $1182 tax cut for the median household.

>> harris: $98 a month. >> david: that's not much. the bottom line is this is not where we were. if you look at even though your proposal out of the white house and the boston university study on this a few weeks ago, they were talking about giving people much bigger breaks, 4,000, and then an 8,000 overall value in that range for a family. so what is the republican house done in delivering on this bill and $98 a month? eight months. >> trish: can i just clarify this for a second? here so much you are actually keeping. $51,920. you're paying somewhere around 7100 bucks in taxes a year. i guess you could get that a lot lower, pay less than 5,000 but you can situation right now for nearly half the country isn't paying any tax at all on that burden is left to everyone making more. i agree with you. this is not median income levels are not good right now and we need to do a lot to raise wages overall, but the money does have

to come from somewhere. >> harris: said you guys are punching the numbers on this and that $98 a month, if it were written at a check of 1182, you might feel it in that family. but my concern is where the spending cuts? how were they going to pay for this without touching spending? that's not what the president told them to do? >> marie: for years and years we've heard of fiscal responsibility. we have to pay for this. where's the money coming from to pay for this? >> david: i'll give you the answer. first of all, so far so when they say we are going to pay for and how do we pay for it when it comes to tax cuts in d.c. you have to look at a bigger economic picture, which is if we have growth and we continue to seeing increased growth in this country and you increase that revenue seeing in the government going, you offset that against what doesn't come in. this was the brilliance of the reagan tax cuts was growth was the answer to that equation. >> harris: was that phased in over a long period map but they're talking about with corporate taxes here?

what were those numbers like? i'm just wondering how long will it take to offset that and when are we going to see the spending cuts? >> david: is a different picture now with the corporate tax cut. if we bring that down and if we do things like remove the amt from corporate taxes. >> harris: which doesn't help anybody under a certain income level. speaker where it does help into your point earlier about who really pays the taxes in this country coming up to look at economic activity. corporations and businesses even at a $250 million cap according to the irs deliver a lot of the income, the earnings close to your individual liquidity. how much money you have to spend in the economy. so the largest factor still comes out of the corporate tax rates because that's who hires people, that's who hires vendor vendors. >> trish: econ 101 and sometimes you have to spend a little to make a little and that's what you're dealing with here. i hear you, i like to see it and cut as well but right now, the priority is getting corporate taxes lower. we won the is going to be bigge

bigger. >> trish: it actually will start to stimulate. that's the question, do i think there will, yes because we have dealt with this burdensome regulation as well as very high taxes for a good long time now. when you're talking about the first taxes and 30 years, i think that will spur activity. bringing all that money that sitting overseas. enough activity. you're looking at gdp that is 3% right now. we haven't seen those numbers been quite some time. >> harris: there are a lot of great things to be excited about the economy. >> marie: what harris is really focusing on and i'm going to ask a political question that of an economic question. is this enough that letter it was promise to voters and average voters by this year when congress would have to go back to the district and defend tax reform as one of the only big ticket items they may have gotten done, is this enough for average americans to feel? >> harris: we won't know yet. it gives them the ability to

check the box. >> david: first of all, and this is where you are right about the political question. i wouldn't worry about that and i actually don't. i know that democrats want to use can you go back and defend against this. >> marie: it is curious. >> david: i think it's a valid question. the thing is, the question is not the right question. the question is what do they do if they actually stimulate the economy and growth becomes the picture? if your kitchen hit table economics that i'm earning more, keeping more, it will go back. >> marie: this is an important part of this because of the lower corporate taxes and you lower taxes on small businesses, there were more jobs and if there are more jobs, companies need to be competitive and noted to get you to work for them. >> sandra: this little nugget, congressman sean duffy just said on the fox business network that they want to make the tax plan retro for 2017. >> marie: i was going to ask that question. we feel on this couch day like we have enough information you have to make an opinion of this new tax plan?

actually don't. >> harris: the property taxes for people when you lower that mortgage deduction to half a million, that's going to affect those people. that's millions of people. if you give them a year to ramp up and to soak up the loss and weight of the value of their home is, they will best it. they will feel all these things that you and trish were talking about over time. but if you make this retroactive and people are banking on writing off the full amount of their mortgages, that's going to be huge on people and they may sell their homes before they stay in them and then you got another situation going on. >> trish: to enter your political question, paul ryan saying the political will is ironclad to get this done. >> marie: i think is going to be interesting. it's going to be actually tougher than people might assume, including paul ryan for this to pass the house. any more information. you already have groups like the homebuilders association taking a very strong position against what they've seen. they are worried. this will be tough to corral the publican votes not to mention

the senate where there is only a very slim majority. i don't think this is going to be a political easy thing to get done in congress for the republicans. >> harris: you were talking about blue states. a senior telling fox news that the deficit impact of the bill is more than 1.5 trillion. if that is the case and brady just said it was 1.51 trillion over a decade, it will qualify for fast-track budget reconciliation process. >> trish: it depends on what kind of growth you get. you got 3% right now and that was with the hurricane, so we are on a good trajectory. if you get tax reform through, i think you're going to be adding a point or two to gdp. if you got 5% gdp growth, that's going to solve a whole lot of problems. >> sandra: some new studies are saying is possible even if you say three to three and half% growth. you have that offense and the economic multiplier that should not be ignored. i worry less about the political. i look at the kitchen table. california just added $0.12 to their gas tax, $0.16, their

behavior is what is affecting their residence more than what they will do with this tax break. >> sandra: we've got to leave that there for now. chilling new information about the new york city terror suspects. prosecutors say he bragged about his attack and asked that the ices flag be hung in his hospital room. a live reported with what else investigators are learning now. and president from saying he wants us to the new york city terror suspect get the death penalty after raising questions about possible enemy combatant status for the terror suspect. something some top senators would like to see. he will debate that next.

we don't have much detail on this but i would just remind everybody that just yesterday, the president was talking about it and i'm going to quote him here will be announcing very shortly possibly right after i get back from his asia trip a company that would want to move from outside of the united states back here on the announcement of tax cuts and tax reform. we don't know that that's what they'll be talking about with this jobs announcement, but just to put that information out there. what the president went on to say is that when he doesn't know if that is coming home back to united states at the company -- the country that's it's leaving will be very surprised. these were his words. a jobs announcement coming from inside the cabinet room moments from now if that happens, we will bring it to you live. fox news alert on the growing questions know about tuesday's terror attack in new york city. eight people dead, 12 others injured. authorities say 29-year-old who is becca an immigrant accused of allowing his rented truck into pedestrians on a crowded bicycle past is now expressing no remorse. he even requested in isis flag

be hung inside his hospital room. he is charged with two criminal counts, one of them carries the death penalty. they are at a federal level, those charges. garrett pending his life for us in lower manhattan. >> he felt good about yesterday's attack, and said that he initially had planned to kill a lot more people. he clearly wanted investigators to know the details of his planning and preparation ahead of tuesday's massacre, and he openly shared that with them at an interview yesterday at the hospital in which he waived his miranda rights. in the interview, he shared that that planning and preparation started to come together about a year ago and it was inspired by isis propaganda that he was watching on his phone. then about two weeks ago, he decided to use a truck in order to kill as many people as possible and he chose halloween because i thought more people would be out on the road. a week before his attack, he went to the truck that he planned to use and did a dry run of his route so if you practice

driving it. prosecutor laid out those details and an 11 page criminal complaint last night and afterwards, the acting u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york showed examples of the kind of isis propaganda that saipov have been consuming massive amounts of. >> a search of cell phones found in the bag that he was carrying a search conducted in pursuance of authorized wiretaps processed 90 videos depicting among other things isis fighters killing prisoners and running over them with a tank. >> at this point, he is facing to charges, which carries a maximum sentence of life and committing violence and destruction of motor vehicles which makes them eligible for the death penalty. law enforcement officials tell us additional charges will likely be filed as the

investigation continues on last night, the u.s. attorney said it's also still entirely possible that he could be declared an enemy combatant but then that decision is way above his pay grade and we need to come from a higher power. >> thank you very much. yesterday during this very hour, president trump said that he would consider sending the new york city terror suspect to guantanamo bay. and the white house press secretary said "we would consider him to be an enemy combatant. but mr. trump seem to change course this morning with this. he tweeted "the new york city terror was so guantanamo but that process takes much longer than going to the federal system. there is also something appropriate about keeping him in the home of the horrible crime he committed. should move fast on the death penalty. meanwhile, some top are public and senators are pushing hard for the suspect to be deemed an enemy combatant.

including senators john mccain and lindsey graham. graham said this today. i appreciate president from taking the gloves off when it comes to unleashing our the terry. however, i am dumbfounded as to why the trump administration still follows the obama playbook when it comes to dealing with terror suspects. all the evidence points to the fact the fact new york city terror suspect should be characterized as an unlawful enemy combatant, not a common criminal. you are shaking your head, david webb. why? >> david: because lindsey graham is being disingenuous. he apparently didn't really hear the president's statement. he is right by the numbers that you get faster prosecutions in the federal system. it's not good, but the fact is that the failure in the bush years to prosecute these terrorists, these 174 worst of the worst at guantanamo bay and neither execute them or put them away permanently and somewhere. problem now is that if we send them to guantanamo bay, the lindsey graham's and john mccain's of the world will sit around and play legal jeopardy with american lives

rather than interrogating them, prosecuting them, and in the case of this guy, as far as i'm concerned, he gets a firing squad and that's a gentle way. >> harris: at such an interesting point because when you look at the track record of gtmo, some of the 9/11 suspects those that were thought to be in their constellation if you will, those cases have not gone forward. we have a win record here. >> he never lost. >> is never lost on u.s. soil. >> we will see what happens. i hear you, david. i think that we are obviously dealing with some really, really difficult times and maybe there is an example here. maybe there's a penalty example. i don't want to have a debate on the death penalty. we need to show that we are not going to tolerate it. >> marie: absolutely. we can do that in our justice system. yesterday on "outnumbered," judge napolitano talking about

some of this said sending this guy to be 30 would be unfair, unlawful, and unconstitutional and i think most of us think his legal judgment is a pretty good one. i'm a little worried, there were some legal scholars saying that the president asking for the death penalty might not be the best strategy because a defense attorney can very easily argue that he is prejudiced over the process. the number of defense attorneys this morning is just to be careful, you want him to be fully prosecuted delivered here. because of within the question would be to change the venue. >> david: first of all, it's a weak argument made when you actually can in front of a judg judge. in a high-profile case, the jury pool already knows the case. they use a lot. >> marie: when the president is calling for a death, shouldn't do anything. >> david: the president or me or you or anyone saying anything about this is not going to

change the jury pool no matter who it is. >> sandra: you should be careful not to think that the way you feel about this is the way everybody feels about this. this man just murdered eight people. >> marie: i didn't say anything about my feelings about the death penalty here. >> sandra: i'm not saying that by using this president should be careful here. i think people after the last eight years see president that is being forceful and speaking out in the face of terror immediately and aggressively. >> marie: my point is actually if we want him to get the death penalty, the president speaking out and asking for that, if there's even a tiny bit. >> sandra: he sending a message the world. >> marie: i'm just saying illegally if we want to get the death penalty, the president can increase the odds of that by not saying anything. >> david: doesn't increase or decrease the odds. a lot of legal scholars can measure the fact that the history is jury pools and high-profile cases which i've

covered for. they're not affected by the statements of high-profile figures. >> marie: forget about the constitutional argument about not being able to send him to gtmo because he is a legal permanent resident and there's a constitutional argument that the judge said against that. the question is the speedy trial happens here. they have a "no" loss record in these cases. >> david: is also a bigger issue. one of the failures of going to gtmo, intelligence is on a timeline on what is valuable. he has a limited timeline when he is valuable as an intelligence asset or being interrogated. and also in the jurisdiction issue, that can be changed in congress and they can attack this. these are enemy combatants, we need to address jurisdiction when it comes to people waging war on the united states. they are waging war. we can't wait to criminal prosecution. >> harris: we are going to stay in court but how about tha

that? back in court, paul manafort his former associate set to appear before judge three days after they were charged with a dozen crimes in a federal indictment spearheaded by special counsel robert mueller. what to expect, a live report right here on "outnumbered." and president from defending himself in the wake of these charges. insisting he is not under investigation. we will debate it. is he? is he the focus? and what is the president said in a candid conversation with "the new york times." stay with us.

>> sandra: fox news alert. president trump's former campaign chair due back in court this afternoon along with his longtime associate paul manafort who led the campaign for several months last year will appear in washington federal court along with rick gates. special counsel robert mueller announcing an indictment monday.

it charges the men with conspiracy, money laundering, and other crimes. chief intelligence correspondent catherine herridge joins us live from washington. good afternoon, catherine. >> will get to that in just a moment. we've had some developments this morning that relate to the russian investigation. this letter to the president was released about an hour ago and it comes from a political operative sam clovis and he has withdrawn his nomination at the agriculture department and he writes in a letter the relentless assault on you and your team seem to be a bloodsport that only increases in intensity each day. i do not want to be a distraction or negative influence, particularly with so much work left to do for the american people. he was why that matters. fox news has learned that special counsel robert mueller's investigation brought foreign policy aide george puppet papas to the trump presidential

campaign and what this political operative played in the effort. at the center of this is the march 2016 trump hotel national security meeting. we understand that's in a central line of questioning for the council investigators who wanted information about then candidate trumps response to papadopoulos who repeatedly offered to set up meetings with russian government officials with accounts of varying from candidate being dismissive to flattered to really not paying attention. in this key issue came up at yesterday's white house briefin briefing. >> the fact that george papadopoulos said the president were called at that march 2016, mr. papadopoulos suggesting a meeting between then candidate trumps and a vladimir putin, do you recall that? >> i don't believe he does. the point you asked me right out of the gate here, a short time from now about an hour half in the district court which is a couple of blocks from our bureau here in washington, former

campaign chairman paul manafort and his business partner have a status hearing in their case and this will be an opportunity for them to challenge. 10 million for mena fortin 5 million for gates. those close to the men called the indictment overreach, but they will be a good chance for us to be in court to see how the men are reacting to the indictment whether they're going to be aggressive in their response or somewhat reconciled to the proceedings that they face. >> sandra: thank you for all of the reporting on that. meantime, "the new york times" report the president calmly defended himself in a phone conversation. the president telling reporters "i am not under investigation as you know, and even if you look at that, there is not even a mention of trump in there. it has nothing to do with us." in response to a question to a "washington post" report that the president is fuming behind the scenes about all of this, he says "i am actually not angry at anybody."

>> marie: i don't think you can say that bob mueller is not investigating him. his campaign is certainly under investigation and i don't think you can say with any certainty that he knows what bob mueller is or isn't investigating. i also have a sense that his team is worried. i think they were expecting a manafort financial related charge but i don't think they were expecting -- we are not the ones in office who are being investigated by bob mueller. b3 you don't have to be in the office to be in the investigation. >> marie: i'm responding to his interview. i'm responding to his interview. i don't think of the trump team expected that papadopoulos guilty plea and expected to outline in such detail the conversations with russian officials. >> trish: how is it illegal to have a conversation with the russian official? if you are working with russian officials to steal hillary clinton's emails and publish

them that's illegal. but if you're actually just george papadopoulos and your low-level advisor and you take a meeting with the russian professor or anybody you from russia or go out and have a white russian at a bar because they feel exact level we are now at, there's nothing illegal about that. that is what mulder is looking at. right and we have evidence that someone from the trauma campaign over low-level that they had hillary clinton's emails before that was public. that was in this week with agreement that papadopoulos signed. did they do anything with it? was there any collusion? we don't know the answer yet. >> sandra: can i just put something in here that needs to be done? there is no statutory charge for collusion except in financial crimes where companies are involved. it doesn't exist in u.s. code. also, papadopoulos lied. that's what he is being charged with. >> harris: that's what the crime is. >> david: it's nothing about the meetings. >> marie: i agree with you.

legally, he pled guilty to lying to the fbi. what was interesting as all of the content in that plea agreement. >> harris: it's not illegal necessarily. >> marie: it gives us some insight into where bob mueller might be heading. >> harris: it gives us insight to know that somebody from the hillary campaign and somebody at the dnc released the millions of dollars to pay for that anti-trump dossier. >> david: let's think about where that she wanted us to think about it? you have $9 million spent by the person in the dnc who wanted to actually run this country and they don't know where $9 million went, nobody knows. debbie wasserman schultz, podesta, nobody. are you telling me that they are that good and at the same time in law you can't be -- >> trish: i would say if i'm a

republican right now or if i'm the president of the united states, i'm saying great. this is all that came up? this is it? i think is right and certainly what you're hearing for many members of the mainstream media was that this was going to be massive and it was somehow going to expose the term campaign for doing some really illegal stuff. and there's nothing there like that. so i think the democrats right now should be the ones that are on the defensive and a little bit nervous because they are not coming up with anything. >> harris: i'm going to follow-up and ask you this. was it a threat or hope? by those media members? was like the world was coming to an end. >> marie: this is only just the beginning. it's going to keep going on for months. >> david: john podesta, anthony podesta should be nervous. the net lobby and registration, anybody can look it up at senate.gov. the podesta group registered lobbyists for this.

>> sandra: right about now, i need that white russian. is that allowed? >> marie: might get in trouble for that. >> sandra: it's been a long couple of days. a president from calling for an end to the diversity visa program in the wake of the deadly truck attack in new york city. a lottery program that granted entry to the terror suspect in the first place. whether it's time to get rid of it. or what ending it do only more harm than good? prudential asked these couples: how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to,

but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. ♪ spread a little love today ♪ spread a little love my-y way ♪ ♪ spread a little something to remember ♪ philadelphia cream cheese. made with fresh milk and real cream makes your recipes their holiday favourites. the holidays are made with philly.

>> harris: me on any details about the suspect in a deadly truck terror attack yesterday. the 29-year-old immigrant from uzbekistan is charged with terrorism and other crimes and could face the death penalty. right now, he is the only

suspect in the wake of that attack. president trump is calling for an end to the diversity visa program. that is a program the suspect use to get into america. he was white house press secretary sarah sanders. >> we would like to see the lottery visa program and not be part of any immigration system that we have in this country. in the lowest level of criteria that any part of our immigration system has it through the lottery system. so to try to argue that this is a system that thoroughly events people but it just shows a total lack of understanding for what this process is pretty >> harris: it requires applicants to have a high school diploma or two years of recent work experience. adam schiff of california, the ranking democrat on the senate intel committee defensive program this way. >> it's kind of absurd and the hours after this terrible attack to be using it as a fulcrum for a debate that has been going on in congress for completely

different reasons. i've never really heard this made as a security argument, and i think to use this tragedy in that way to push a different agenda is not what the president ought to be doing right now. >> harris: so a couple of issues with this that people may have you have with the president has termed an others chain immigration which means that person can bring family who are not vetted at the same level. >> david: so let's look at some of the ridiculous things. first of all, immigration is not about diversity. immigration is about someone who adds value to any country that they immigrate to including the united states. we are importing poverty. we talked about this. this program has several fee structures. i urge anyone to go to u.s. cis and read the programs. if you're a 14-year-old applying with your parents, you pay a fee. if you're a 14 not applying with a parent, you pay a higher fee. what is a 14-year-old dude come here and support themselves? this is a ridiculous program and

the stupid program because it should be merit-based. the one that is strong. we are going to go to a situation here that i have told everybody about before with the president of the united states making a jobs announcement. we've gotten just a couple of details on what that could be. we are going to watch the president now as he makes that announcement. we are told we will touch on the fact that we just hit 60 records on the stock market. a lot of economy to talk about. as always, but he is going to start there today and he has kind of a preview that he might be announcing a company that would want to come home to the united states after tax reform had been rolled out by republicans today. so we are getting somewhere that that may happen in all of this as well. sandor, i know one of the things that had happened this morning is that people were saying that this would be a huge win for republicans if they could go forward. i imagine that the president will touch on taxes in this as well. we are going to go inside the cabinet room right now where the president has a big announcement

on jobs and perhaps on some of those other issues that i just touched on as he walks up the lectern. let's watch and listen together. >> president trump: we just had a big meeting on daca with some of the senators, and we have great things to say about that. you'll be hearing about that very soon. the big thing of course is tax cuts and jobs. that is happening very rapidly, and it has been met with great response but i want to think everybody for this great day and it's a great day for the american worker in particular. over the last ten months, we have witnessed something remarkable happened to our country. have you all noticed? a lot of change. a lot of difference. we are just hitting another record right now in the stock market. we have hit close to 60 records on the stock market since november the eighth, a very big day. if the stock market is at an

all-time high. unemployment is at its lowest level in almost 17 years. we now have had two straight quarters of 3% or more economic growth for those of you that don't understand that, this is a tremendous increase over where it was who we are going higher. jobs have been off shored to so many countries that we are now coming back and now those jobs and those companies are coming back to our great american home. i want to thank the majority leader kevin mccarthy for joining us this afternoon. he has been so terrific in so many ways and i will tell you, he is working very hard on tax cuts, in fact so hard that i am surprised to hear. this must be truly a great company, which it is. you've been pretty busy today. you did. that was a good press conferenc conference. we are thrilled to welcome broad, limited and its ceo to

the white house to announce that the outcome is moving its headquarters from singapore back to the united states. broad, limited is a 100, fortune 100 company. one of the really great, great companies. they manufacture technology and parts. they employ over 7,500 american workers in many states across our country. we are looking forward to seeing that number grow very substantially which is now anticipated to do. we will move back to the united states and to the united states something very, very special and very important. when you've been seeing this happen with numerous companies and at a minimum expansions and sometimes plans. with this commitment, more than $20 billion in annual revenue will come back to our cities,

towns, and the american workers. today, we are joined by some of the incredible men and women from their manufacturing plant in the great state of pennsylvania. that is a state i like very muc much. i love pennsylvania. i went to school in pennsylvani pennsylvania. you are skilled at your craft, you take pride in your job and because of you, our nations trademark made in the usa is respected all over the world once again. and we are telling people made in the usa, we are bringing it back. when i was growing up, when i was a young boy, made in the usa, that meant something. it means something again. my administration is working every day to make the united states the most attractive place in the world to do business. so that more and more companies like broad broadcom limited grr businesses and create more and more american jobs and you see it happening on a daily basis.

that is why i have already more unnecessary jobs killing regulations and any president in history. it includes their entire term we are not finished yet. believe me, we are not even close it if that we are working to give the american people a giant tax cut perturbed christmas. we are giving them a big beautiful christmas present in the form of a tremendous tax cu cut. it will be the biggest cut in the history of our country. it will also be tax reform, and it will create jobs. today, the house ways and means committee unveiled at historic tax reform bill that will create to mend his prosperity for nation. will provide a massive tax cut for american families. we will make the tax code simpler and fair. it's called simplification.

we will restore our competitive edge by reducing business taxes for the first time in more than 30 years. and we will bring back trillions and trillions of dollars that is now parked overseas so that money can be put to work rebuilding the united states of america as opposed to rebuilding other parts of the world. again, i want to think broadcom ceo hock tan for joining us today. a highly respected man, a great executive at the job he's done, an incredible job. when he is doing is committing to massive amounts of american jobs. when he told me about this move, he said mr. president, we want to be an american company. we are hearing that all of these days, hearing it more and more. we are hearing it, frankly i'm hearing it every single day. people are coming in at levels

that you will be seeing over the next short period of time. you're seeing it in so many ways, you are seeing it when you just look at what is happening with the stock market. when you look at the enthusiasm indexes which are the highest they've ever been. the business enthusiasm in this country is at record levels. and we are hearing it from everything from tax reform which is really spearheading it and yet, i think it's really a feeling for country that people haven't had in a long time. they see what's going on with regulation when they see that tax move and that's what will happen and we will have it done before christmas. i consider that to be one of the greatest christmas presents. not just the reform and not just the tax cuts, but we will be creating jobs like you have rarely seen. so we never get tired of that pledge because we never tire of returning wealth to our country, jobs to our citizens and honor

to our great american workers. these are incredible people. they worked hard red they essentially haven't had that salary increase that they should have had. but now you see you wages are starting to rise. so we are very proud of our country and i would like to have you say a few words and again on behalf of not only the folks from pennsylvania behind me, but all of the united states, i want to thank you very much for choosing us. appreciate it, thank you. >> thank you, mr. president. thank you for having us here. it's truly an honor, a rare honor. let me say, my mother would never have imagined that one day her son would be here in the

oval office of the white house standing beside the president of the united states. thank you. >> president trump: and my mother too. [laughter] >> you see, back in 1971, i was just an 18-year-old skinny kid growing up in malaysia. who had just received an opportunity to enroll in the best engineering school in america. in fact, in the world, mit. and my parents could not have afforded to send me to college, much less mit. so it's rather amazing, really amazing to me even today that these great american educational institutions took a chance on me sight unseen.

gave me a scholarship to pursue the american dream. so my appearance here today in large part has been inspired by my desire to give back to this country which i have received so much from. i run broadcom today, and broadcom is the embodiment of the legacy of innovation of three great american technology leaders. hewlett-packard, and more recently, be 16 broadcom corporation. when americans in this country made it harder for companies to compete in global markets, the intellectual properties of these leading companies globalized and

moved offshore. but i am american, as are nearly all my direct managers. my board members, and over 90% of my shareholders. so today, we are announcing that we are making america home agai again. [applause] thank you. our commitment is a huge reaffirmation to our shareholders, to the 500 employees we have across 24 states in america today that america is once again the best place to lead a business with a

global footprint. things to you, mr. president, business conditions have steadily improved. the proposed tax reform package will level the global playing field and allow us to compete effectively in worldwide markets. our move to domicile into the u.s. will bring in $20 billion of annual revenues into this country. from this base here in the united states, each year, we will invest over $3 billion a year in research and engineering and another $6 billion a year in manufacturing.

creating high-paying tech jobs. similar to the ones today by my coworkers behind me. you have made the trip down from pennsylvania to be reversed here today. so again, thank you, mr. president. i look forward to working with you to create and to achieve the american dream for everyone. thank you. [applause] >> president trump: thank you, everybody, . thank you, everybody. speak of the president with a much-anticipated announcement at the white house. what he just announced is that a

major publicly held company, broadcom, a semiconductor company is returning back to america from singapore. you heard the ceo sharing a personal story there. his mother never dreamed he would be standing in the white house. he said thank you to the president, for killing these job killing regulations, the ceo saying we are here to make america home again. the president weighed in on taxes, saying this is the biggest tax cut in the history of our country and it will create tremendous prosperity for the american people. calling it a big, beautiful christmas present. use the opportunity to talk about the economy. broadcom, the big announcement, that they company coming back to the united states. >> it matters to so many other companies in america. export to other nations. >> $3 billion a year they are
