pete: october to may it's beautiful. >> phenomenal weather doing things we have never done before. abby: the summer was phenomenal. kevin: no i didn't move in the summer i have only been there a couple of months. abby: good luck. kevin: i'm not going to be there during the summer. pete: food to have you here. abby: a lot of news going on this morning. pete: a ton of stuff. president trump paying respect at pearl harbor overnight. kevin: prepares to kick off his first official visit to asia. abby: allison barber is live with all of the details. >> good morning. the president and first lady are starting what will be one of the longest trips to the region by a president in decades u the trip began with l.a.s on the tarmac in hawaii. laying a wreath to honor over 2400 americans who lost their lives in the attack at pearl harbor.

standing beside them is admiral kerry harris, visit military operations in the pacific and indian oceans. this summer 17 sailors lost their lives in two separate collisions. one near the southern coast of japan the other near singapore. the commander of the 7th fleet was ultimately relieved of his duties. and naval investigators now say as of two days ago that both accidents were avoidable. the president received a military briefing from admiral harris and a number of other top military officials in this region. hawaii is the first stop in a 13-day trip that will include visits to five countries, japan, south korea, china, vietnam, and the philippines. the president says they actually added an extra day if the philippines so he could attend the east arab summit. this trip is expected to deal with trade and, of course, the growing nuclear threat on the korean peninsula. abby, pete, kevin? abby: big trip ahead. thank you so much ellison.

pete: to go to pearl harbor on the uss arizona powerful imagery and paying a lot of respect to those who gave so much. kevin: i have been there a couple times. the thing about this trip for me, a lot of americans are looking at it first time in 8 years and i know it will offend a lot of people on the left that a president who they believe really cares about the military men and women is visiting pearl harbor. i think it has significance. pete: absolutely. abby: another big moment of this trip is when he gets to south korea to be just 30 miles away from north korea. he has talked a lot about building up the nuclear capability of south korea, places like japan where he will be today. kevin: right. abby: there is a lot on the table when it comes to not only economics but security. pete: you see president xi securing like mao like power writing his name into the constitution in china. the whole region is reacting to that. he is going to japan, to south korea as you mentioned abby, vietnam, the philippines. this is an opportunity to

consolidate relationships that are a check against a growing power in china that we have to be concerned about. abby: especially when it comes to north korea as well. that's how you wonder how this trip will be covered. only way to get a sense of how it will be covered is look at recent trips he has taken and other trip he has had right when he got into office. pete: that's amazing how we have to think about it. the president had a big trip in saudi arabia and israel. went previously to poll land where he was very well received as well. enough to he goes on 12-day trip. it's almost like you can set your call car how the so-called media is going to react to this. abby: do you remember the days of that trip and headlines that came back, kevin? kevin: i do. pete and i were talking about the hand holding incident and one of the other things. one of the things we touched on. i don't know if we are going to cover it in the segment. the comment to donald trump is only good when he is international. the fact of the matter is, he is good in america. the media doesn't cover look at all the things happening with unemployment. business coming back to the country. and we're talking about oh, is he a guru when he leaves

the country. he is a guru now. pete: they love to play banner headlines when he is oversea he is. take a look at a few from the previous trip. president shoes. abc poked the first lady what are you feeding trump? >> "the washington post," the world gets a first real look at the trump real marriage. remember when he elbowed out the prime minister at the summit why the trump women wore veils at the vatican. but not head scarves? abby: all had to do with security and economy and a number of issues that i remember during that trip that i went online to get a sense of what was going on. i had to dig and dig to figure out what the substance was of that trip. and there was a lot of it. it just wasn't covered. >> contrast that when barack obama went to hawaii the first time. it it was a big deal that he ate a hamburger. they ate it as if you have

got to be watching this because it's so significant. they certainly got a double standard. pete: we'll be paying a lot of attention to how this is covered. a lot of significance in this trip travels for 12 days matters not only on security side but economically as well. trade is a big part of what this president ran on. massive deficits. he will be working on that. abby: one of the biggest stories yesterday. we talked about this on the show. i would love your take. bowe bergdahl. pete: i couldn't believe it when i got the alert on my phone. abby: he will not be serving jail time. pete: like most americans waiting to see what happened. alert came on phone bowe bergdahl walks. he will serve no additional time for deserting his post in afghanistan. >> part of the angst of america was the fact that we traded five heinous criminals that are now back reengaged and suddenly we have got -- it's like bergdahl got away with it twice. weave did the trade and now he is off free. i know a lot of the military people reacting are not happy. abby: the president was one

of them as well. he said the decision on sergeant bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our country and to our military. rob o'neill, who also is very passionate about this was on last night. and said the man who -- of course he shot bin laden, but here were his thousand on bergdahl yesterday. >> a lot of people were hit and it's all because this guy was a desserter. it's that simple. now for this judge to just let him go, what about the people that were killed. what about the soldiers that were injured? what about the wife that said she can no longer hold her husband's hand because he can't move. he is in a wheelchair. he was shot in the head trying to save bergdahl. think about the countless high value individuals we stopped going after. all this war effort stopping because this one guy left. i said before that i was going to keep my mouth shut hoping that the military judicial system would do something the right way, but i think this judge dropped the ball. i think it's sad. abby: do you know what i'm thinking about this morning and last night when i went to bed are the six families of those who lost their lives searching for them.

kevin: you see this graphic and think this is who we protect now. abby: what does thi precedent ds this set for the country? pete: chelsea mahmoud ahmadinejad, lois learner, never any consequences. people at the v.a. wonder why people are cynical. don't have any faith in our justice system. how can this be right? abby: what do you think? let us know at friends@foxnews.com. we want to know what you think. pete: the president tweeting and talking about his feelings on the department of justice. whether or not justice is being served and being served on both sides of the aisle u specifically talking about democrats. listen to what the president had to say about doj. >> i'm really not involved with the justice department. i would like to let it run itself. honestly, they should be looking at the democrats. they should be looking at podesta and all of that dishonesty. they should be looking at a lot of things and a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department,

including me. pete: this sounds comes alongside a couple weeks where the russia, russia, russia investigation is ongoing. but we learned so much more about tony podesta. we learned so much more about the dnc. fusion gps. uranium one. all these aspects that are popping up on the left and you can understand why a president in the white house would sit there and say why aren't we taking a look at this. doing it out in the open. hey, weir going to go after political opponents in secret. why are we not looking at both sides? abby: democrats are not wanting to talk about this at all. this is not good for the democratic party. here is robby mike, former hillary clinton campaign manager on wanting to move on quickly. >> i don't honestly know the specifics of it. it sounds like cnn looked into it and took action as they saw fit. but, again, anderson, i'm just not interested in these things in the past. this is why we have got to move beyond 2016. we have a governor's election less than a week away in virginia. we have got critical midterm elections. and i can't say it enough.

this tax plan the republicans are propose something outrange just. pete: kevin, cnn looked into it so we're good. kevin: cnn looked into it so forget the doj. i love that donald trump attacks these things head on. it isn't like he minces words. the public likes thawvment the left is saying things it doesn't sound very presidential i don't like the way he tweets about these things. that's how things get done. pete: only way they cover it they refuse to cover things until he tweets about it and then they have to cover it. the media hates that. abby: biggest question, i think, of this whole dnc with donna brazile how under barack obama they lost so much money and so much debt. how did they get to rock bottom? kevin: sad part about that is barack obama was supposed to be a rock star. here is the guy sadly to say the black man leaves them with no money. a lot of people are going to

be offended by that that was the guy supposed to save the party. pete: hillary clinton supposed to win through a rigged system. abby: we will talk about this all morning long. bring headlines. investigators are questioning this man an acquaintance of the manhattan terrorist suspect. the "new york times" reporting that the fellow uzbek man sayfullo saipov. he noticed his temper getting worse. ramping up security ahead of tomorrow's marathon. sniper teams and heavier weapons. president trump's twitter account was shut down the other day. the social media can be won't release details about the new protections. only saying it's internally investigating what happened to president trump's twitter. the "new york times" reporting that a now former twitter contractor disabled the president's account for 11 minutes, apparently on their last day of work. barely two months removed

said she found was giving control to hillary clinton of the dnc 2015. that was before any democrat had voted at all in the hillary vs. bernie contest. and she was saying at that point, august '15 the clinton campaign controlled everything. when donna brazile joined she said i couldn't write a press release without passing it through brooklyn first. in other words, the clinton campaign headquarters. so she said this was an early takeover of the dnc. kevin: byron, are you saying she is not walking it back. that tweet, the comment she made to the president sounds exactly like she is walking it back. >> you know, she said he was misquoting her. how in fact did he misquote her? it's pretty clear here that what she was saying and this is a book. this is not just some sort of random remark she made. this is something you write and you think about and there is an editor and. kevin: if the publisher would have caught it. >> it's been in the works

are still not sure in this tax plan. explain. >> overall we need tax reform. we desperately have needed it. 31 years since reagan rolled out historic tax reform. talk about growth. we have to protect and make sure we help hard working americans so they can have more of their money. interesting though, the taxation issue as good as it may be, there is this thing called salt. it's called the state and local tax deduction. people like me from high tax states especially upstate new york we have some of the highest property taxes in the nation based on value with our homes, even though the values are low. so salt is going to have an impact on earners because we used to be able to deduct state and local income tax. to credit my leadership kevin brady our ways and means chairman has given us a little bit of a concession. we are getting $10,000 property tax cap. i would like to see more. i have been told the process is fluid. we are going to continue to work on that. we are going to try to get more deductions available, especially the income tax --

new york state's income tax is so high. people say well, you know, you have a high tax state and so that cost is something that new york state needs to deal with i agree 100 percent. i know exactly how much new york state, the assembly, governor cuomo do not respect our taxpayers. we pay highest taxes some of the highest in the nation. taking the deductibility away puts new yorkers at disadvantage. i would like to see some kind of concession on that. that being said we are doubling the standard deduction getting rid of the amt. that's going to be huge help for taxpayers, especially middle income. abby: there is a lot you like in this bill. and when you look at the specifics, it seems to be really focused on that middle income family, many parents who are working sometimes two, three jobs to be able to make ends meet and to give their kids a good life. should that be the main talking point of republicans right now? >> that is actually the real point. this is one thing that donald trump has brilliantly done on this and his

administration u this is a middle class tax cut. even in my district in new york, because we are doubling, as i said, the alternative, doubling the standard deduction, eliminating the alternative minimum tax. starting at zero tax rate. child tax credit, child care credit something i worked on with ivanka trump is really important. i raise my son as a single palm mom he is a marine officer today. i understand how tough it is and needing reliable child care. a lot of good things. dropping the corporate tax rate down signature can'tly to help bring businesses back. as you know, the rerepatriate its of money coming back. taxpayer in liltd, there is issue with deductibility. high earners but yet listen to the demagoguery, the democrats, chuck schumer, cuomo, pelosi screaming about it. that's terrible for the rich. but very good.

pete: if you are simplifying the code not winners and losers. people used to have a deduction don't have anymore because the tax code is not going to be a thousand pages long it's going to be simple find. >> if you take those deductions away you will lower the rate you will end up okay. again, by taking away the deductions, you will help states that don't impose a terribly high income tax on their taxpayers. , which you know, i would love to see. i put in a bill when i was in the new york state assembly to phase out the personal income tax. had we done that measure, new york would be in great shape with this tax reform coming. pete: maybe you shouldn't tax people so much. >> that's a great point. abby: going to get done or. >> no i think it's going to' harassment i'm going to continue to fight to get a little bit higher cap on the property tax deduction and see if we can negotiate on the in connection with tax deduction because we don't want high earners to leave. the estate tax is going to be repealed. that's going to help small businesses and family farms and that's also another good thing about it. pete: we have to leave it

foreign soil, the president and first lady made a stop in hawaii. trump sat down with the u.s. pacific commander, navy admiral harris and behind closed doors received a military briefing from harris and other key officials. pacific command oversees all military operations in the pacific and indian oceans. most notably that includes north korea. but as they deal with that threat, pacific command is also dealing with internal issues under their watch 17 sailors died this summer in two separate collisions at sea. a few days ago the navy released their collision report and said both crashes were preventable and the result of multiple failures by watch standards. publicly the president did not mention that he talked about how special it was to visit hawaii. he and the first lady paid their respects at the uss arizona memorial laying a wreath to honor the thousands of americans who lost their lives in the attack at pearl harbor. this trip is long and

incredibly important. the threat from north korea is far from over. the president himself has acknowledged the importance of this trip. they actually added a day to it. president trump says they added the extra day in the philippines so that he could attend the east asia summit. pete, abby, kevin? abby: thank you so much. kevin: added the extra day for that reason just to break the record. abby: 11 day trip. you think about the importance of this trip. just the symbolic moments of being in south korea miles away from north korea sitting down with the president of china who now has another five years as basically the dictator over there. kevin: i think pete nailed it earlier when he talked about the trade and working with china. because china controls that area of the world for the most part. and news ling up to those guys i think that's been president trump's strategy. pete: they are trying to control that region because they want to control even more. they don't seat future as american future or free future. china is a communist country that has a chinese dream set

by president xi written down and talked about it want to be a globally dominant player. they are already doing it economically. we are seeing it militarily. they are building artificial islands and aircraft carriers. ping's name is written into the constitution. he has mao powers now. the rest of the countries in that region are worried about that japan. south korea where we are going, vietnam. this is trip that has a lot to do with the geopolitical chess game that the obama administration ignored for so long. they said they were going to pivot. they never pivoted. now president trump actually is. abby: overshadowing all of that is north korea. that is what i'm sure they will be talking about there on the tv entrepreneurship and president ping. he has to going to build up nuclear capabilities in japan and south korea. that's exactly what china does not want in order to get china to cooperate, you need to make them scared we will go to war. pete: you have to play hard ball. they have to believe us.

this president has been willing to do that across the board. the left jumps up and down and says he is going to get us in a war. the adversaries have to believe we are going to fight. kevin: bargaining chip. abby: another story yesterday bowe bergdahl we have been following this on our show for a long time now. a lot of people thought he would get at least a few years behind bars. yesterday, no. he got to walk free. pete: totally exonerated up to 35 years in prison. a military judge let him go for time served. he had reduction in rank to private. lost any v.a. benefits. dishonorable discharge. abby: pays $10,000 and that's it. and president trump in a tweet yesterday summed up the way a lot of us feel. he said the decision on sergeant bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our country and to our military. when you think about what was traded for him, the precedent that he set, and the lives that were lost. a lot of people waking up this morning just barely believing this can be called

justice. abby: five terrorists traded that were in gitmo and as you said the six american heros that lost their lives. pete: at least. abby: searching for this man. we had lieutenant colonel michael waltz on earlier. here is his reaction to the sentencing. >> i'm devastated and i'm devastated for my men baited into ambushes looking for him. you absolutely must know as a veteran particularly in these types of wars where you are out there and so remote that you have to know that your brother and sister to the left and right of you is going to stand firm with you and certainly not dissert you. he pled guilty to misbehavior in front of the enemy. what that means he willfully endangered his fellow soldiers. sorry does not absolve you of the accountability. the fact that he can walk and live the rest of his life when so many others cannot is a tragedy. kevin: i think what a lot of people are thinking about this is this is sort of the legacy of barack obama. i talked to a lot of military people. they told me, kevin, the

military is no longer the conservative values that it used to have. it's no longer that way. we have now become somewhat liberalized. pete: very politically correct. kevin: at love americans are looking at this and saying this is, again, part of the obama legacy. pete: it's troubling. abby: we asked you what you thought this morning. comments keep pouring in. this comes in from christine. she says the mother of a navy pilot who cried every time my son went out to sea, i'm appalled, disgusted and heart broken at the outcome of this. pete: ken emailed the bergdahl verdict is nothing short of a slap in the face to all who have served. kevin: brian wrote if he can dessert and get off with nothing. what does that say to the rest of desserters? pete: think about bowe bergdahl. chelsea manning. the list can go on and on. kevin: benghazi, scandal irs. the list goes on. pete: petty crimes and other things happen people get thrown away for 10 years, 15

years. these guys get off. kevin: pretty pathetic. pete: we feel the same way you do out there watching. this. abby: emotional story. something else been in the news the last couple days donna brazile has a book coming out. i don't know if you heard about it. she got candid in this book and talks about things that happened in the dnc. talked about basically the dnc was rigid by the clintons. pete: the clintons made arrangements with the dnc in 2015 advantageous in that campaign. already chosen her as nominee before a single vote was cast. abby: the dnc was basically going bankrupt. clinton said if we can help fund raise for the dnc they are tied to the clintons and do whatever they need them to do to help her win the election. kevin: one other quick point, the left is saying that bernie has the same opportunity and that is sort of the clintons get out of jail free card. in fact it wasn't that bernie got that opportunity because they did this two years earlier.

pete: the president says it proves this is all rigid. donna brazile trying to walk back tweeting this yesterday. she said: today's lesson being quoted by donald trump means being misquoted by donald trump. stop trolling me, #never said hillary rigged elections. she went on to tweet as well, mr. president, please go back to attacking me it's better than having my own words scrambled and spewed out by you. abby: let's not talk about this although that's a pretty big piece of news. if you think about it and give people -- interestingly though we are not hearing much about the democrats. they are wanting to move on from. this this is not good from it. difficult cef this is quoted kevin: this is quoted in theboo. it was followed up by elizabeth warren doubling down. pete: one of the president's favorite nemesis who he calls pocahontas because she is a fraud and misrepresented her background in order to get a position at harvard. that pretty well says it let's see what she had to

say. >> this is a real problem. but what we've got to do is democrats now, is we have got to hold this party accountable. have you got to put together a democratic party in which everybody can have confidence that the party is working for democrats, rather than democrats are working for the party. and he's being tested now. this is a test for tom perez. >> do you agree with the notion that it was rigged? >> yes. pete: there have you it the left standard bearer saying yep, it was rigid. abby: you remember during the campaign she said it wasn't rigid. i don't think she knew this was going on. now with the donna brazile book. when you write a book it's not like you happen to say something and say something on the air that happens all the time. you have a book to think about. have editors to look over. you know what you are releasing to the public. kevin: i can't wait to see how others try walk this back as well. pete: maybe she didn't write the book. kevin: maybe bill ayers has written it for her. pete: he wrote a lot for

her. hillary clinton wrote her thesis on solenski as well. don't forget that. abby: lot of folks saying this is the nail in the coffin for the clintons. this just speaks for what many people thought was going on and now it's very clear. pete: how many nails does it take to close the cough finnell? when the final one. abby: i do want to bring you other headlines this morning. investigators are now questioning this man, the manhattan terrorist suspect. the "new york times" reporting that the fellow uzbek man sayfullo saipov pretend muslim in his four hour interview. the man adding that he also noticed saipov's temper getting worse. headinnewly released batch of records connecting to jfk's assassination are revealing new details on shooter lee harvey oswald. 1975 cia memo shows agents found no records that ozwald was connected to the agency. officials also questioning the assassin's trip to the self-yet ansoviet and cuban ages

funneled hundreds of millions of dollars to the clinton foundation. and there was already an active fbi investigation. words like racketeering, bribery, extortion were all being used and kick backs all being used in this. you also have the ties to the russian dossier where they actually went out and paid for a foreign agent to work with kremlin based operatives to spread disinformation about our president of the united states. those things have to be looked at. kevin: moving on, do you think this will have any impact on the virginia's governor's race. >> there is a lot of momentum behind ed gillespie. the democrats are falling apart right now there are new polls out that show that mr. gillespie is at least tied if not in the lead. right now it comes down to republicans and people who really want to see virginia moving forward to make sure they get out and vote on tuesday. this is definitely a winnable election. a new poll i just saw out yesterday had the race tied for governor.

this, pete? pete: it's a great song. abby: i feel like i know this kev kev bon jovi. abby: you are right. pete: i feel like a rooky. i know that ed henry would definitely know that that's why we are bringing him in now. ed henry national correspondent. >> i'm glad to talk to kevin. i heard him at the top of the hour say the last hour was kind of interesting. kevin, i feel your pain. i've been on the couch with these two. it's a long four hours. that's all i have got to say. i love these guys and you are lucky to be there. it's great. abby: there is a lot of news to get to. let's first start with the investigation that is continuing to go on. the robert mueller, the russia probe, the white house insiders are saying they have nothing to hide. they are not concerned here. it seems like the president's lawyers are advising him to stay quiet. if you have nothing to hide, then there is nothing to say. >> if you're innocent, don't pour gasoline on this fire. that's the advice the president is getting from

some of his senior advisors. who tell me, look, think about where we were a week ago from today. where everyone was waiting in anticipation of the first indictments from special counsel robert mueller they finally did come this last monday. people think it's a whole lot of nothing. yes, it's very serious charges for paul manafort and others. it suggests that think have a long road ahead to deal with that there is not a shred of evidence or a hint of a suggestion within the man ford indictment that donald trump did anything wrong as a president or as a candidate. have you manafort's attorney who came out on monday right after the indictment and said we're going to fight this. and donald trump didn't do anything wrong. we have no dirt on donald trump. this is not going to go up the chain. and, in fact, they're saying, the manafort camp, that they want to go to trial in a few months. meaning they don't want to try to cut a deal. they don't have dirt on the president. so, bottom line is, i've talked to people very close to the president who say,

you know, it's not just spin from them like oh, everything is fine, but you look at the mainstream media story saying the walls are closing in. abby: right. >> the dam is beginning to break. that is not how they feel inside the white house. kev kev ed, it seems like donald trump is very calm for a man who is supposedly under such a powerful investigation. i have said for a long time he is just a little bit too cool. i think most conservative america believes there is nothing there. and but i also think that a lot of people are very concerned that hillary clinton is not under the scrutiny of the justice department. >> yeah. and the president is mad about that as well. by the way, the papadopoulos guilty plea was a surprise this week. there are people inside the white house insisting to me was a small player. this is not going to go anywhere as well. but we shouldn't discount it. this special counsel has vast powers as you suggest. and this investigation is far from over. and so the president, yes, he still has to be concerned about it in that respect. but, yeah. we saw the president yesterday, my point broadly

is, he wasn't attacking robert mueller. that's because he is listening to the advice of his advisors. don't poke the bear. instead, what was he doing? he was poking his own attorney general, jeff sessions. we have seen the president do that before a few months ago. a lot of conservatives were mad about it. what did jeff sessions do? he got more serious about cracking down on leaks when he was prodded by the president. now the president is saying wake up justice department do something about all of these allegations about democrats. uranium one, donna brazile book. pete: i opened up my failing "new york times" this morning, ed. >> had you to get that in. abby: he did. pete: bottom of a-15 they covered that donna brazile is talking about in her new book felt like the democratic process was rigid for hillary clinton. left having to react and spin it somehow. this is what a few democrats are saying to try to change that conversation. take a listen. >> my focus is on the next election. i don't have a spare second to be thinking about comments that went on within the dnc.

>> i'm just not interested in the things of the past. this is why we have got to move beyond 2016. we have a governor's election less than a week away in virginia. we have got critical midterm elections. and i can't say it enough. this tax plan the republicans are propose something outrageous. pete: nancy, can't spare a second but she will pivot to anything else immediately. >> pete, she said something even more remarkable after that. she said i'm not interested in relet gating the last election. okay. no matter where you stand politically, i'm a reporter. i'm fair and balanced. the fact of the matter is that is unbelievable. the democrats since the last election, the morning after, maybe the night of, have been relitigating the last election. if that's your standard, you failed the test. they have relitigated this and it's all about russia, russia, russia. now donna brazile brings out some dirty business behind the scenes democrats say we don't want to look back. we don't want to look -- we want to look forward at 2018 and 2020. the turn about is unbelievable and frankly i

think that's why the president sees blood in the water. and he is going to keep hitting this. people in the media are going to be screaming and yelling it's not about the democrats. pete, also, you mentioned something else interesting. the night of donna brazile's revelations, abc, cbs, and nbc had not a second of it on the nightly news. that's why the president tweeted about it. pete: and forced them to cover it. >> that's the fact. abby: not a surprise here. what's the deal quickly with donna brazile? if you remember it was before that cnn debate in flint, michigan last march that she got in trouble for giving questions to the clinton camp. now it's pretty hypocritical to write about this in your book and dump all o'er the clintons. >> abby, you are absolutely right. she was involved in collusion when she was at cnn and tried to help hillary clinton. then she comes out with this book excerpt in politico magazine. makes it clear when she took over the party at the end of the summer of 2016 from debbie wasserman schultz she got the keys to the castle and found all kinds of problems that the dnc had

tilted against sanders. bottom line she is now in the last 24 hours donna brazile because of the president's tweets back pedaling said i never collusion. it's in your book. you wrote it yourself. i regret in 42, i couldn't come up with collusion brooklyn dodgers. have you the president tweeting about it you got us talking about it. donna brazile is basically, she is selling the heck out of this book. you are right, she was involved in collusion when she was at cnn. abby: ed, i didn't know you wrote a book. >> yeah it's called 42 faith. pete: he got 42 faith in there somehow. kevin: i would say to the democrats be careful what you wish for, donald trump is doing a pretty good job. >> i would say kevin, be careful on that couch.

wanted. pete: well, i've got to say, it's a tough day for a lot of people. but it must be especially for you, the men and women -- the men in that outpost who served with him, went and looked for him, lost legs and limbs and people looking for him. matt thank you for your honorable service for the rest of that platoon that did their job. it's a tough day especially for you watching him to walk free. thank you for your time. appreciate it? >> thank you. pete: all right. there are a bunch of great sales this month christmas. we are already talking about christmas. it's getting closer. i'm a thanksgiving guy. i hope we talk about that, too. what you should buy and what you should skip. the best deals coming up next. we're going to cover them all ♪ we just got to make the world dance ♪ forget about the price tag ♪ it ain't about the ♪ it's all pop-culture trivia, but it gets pretty intense.

and first lady made a stop in hawaii. trump sat down with the u.s. pacific commander navy admiral harry harris and behind closed doors received a military briefing from harris and other key officials. pacific command overseas military operations in the pacific and indian oceans. most notably that includes north korea. but, as they deal with that threat, pacific command is also dealing with some internal issues. under their watch, 17 sailors died this summer in two separate collisions at sea. a few days ago the navy released their coalition report ancollisionreport said bs were avoidable. if trump addressed that though with the commander, he didn't publicly talk about it he did talk about how special it was to visit hawaii. he and the first lady visited the uss arizona memorial and like many presidents before him, laid a wreath to honor the thousands of americans who lost their lives in the attack at pearl har harbor. the trip is long and

incredibly important. trade is going to be a topic as is the growing nuclear threat from north korea. initially this trip was a little bit shorter. at the last minute the white house added an extra day in the philippines. president trump said that's because he wants to attend the east asia summit. he said this conference second day in the philippines is more important than the first. pete, abby, kevin. abby: all right. thank you. what an important trip this is going to be. where he is and the importance of asia right now as ellison mentioned when it comes to the economy and trade and also security and dealing with north korea. he is going to be in places like japan, south korea and maybe most importantly china with ping. pete: obama administration was going to do that asia pivot. it was more like a pump fake or distraction. they never actually did it. so china's regional power expanded building artificial islands. a lot of that fed the feeling that americans had we were retreating from our global responsibilities. apologizing world stage losing in the economy. president trump maybe this is the real asia pivot as he

reinforces our allies to put china back in check. they are not doing what they should do in south korea and not helping us. >> i love the fact this is what he ran on and now he is there. he has had meetings before with the chinese president and we have been dealing with these issues. and to your point security is one of the major issues. i think with president trump, security for him is really using the u.s. economy as the basis for how we go -- you know, how we go to battle if you will. abby: that's a good point. kevin: while he is over there, that's what we will be working on. abby: as a bargaining point. that's a great point. how will this trip be choferred? longest trip of the president. 11 days now. you think back on his first overseas trip saudi arabia, israel. went to visit the vatican. you remember some of those headline that's came out. a lot of them dealing mainly with the optics about whether or not he was holding melania trump's hand. kevin: that was actually pretty funny. pete: get a real look at the marriage. what about the egyptian president's shoes when he

elbowed out montenegro's prime minister. kevin: that one was good, too. pete: funny stuff and we can laugh about it. the mainstream media wells the left wing media is going to find anything they can to make him look bad. doublely shamful. president is overseas representing your country and first instinct is to find something to cut him down. shows you where their true allegiance and feelings really lie. abby: how important the substance of these trips are first overseas trip dealing with terrorism. this one just as important for different reasons. and we focus so much on like the twitter verse. this is when role so important. we don't see what's happening. we only get what reporters are over there giving us. kevin: we are getting the same thing getting here. funny they treat him better over there but still end up with the stuff we are talking about now. pete: advocating responsibility which is not advocating at all. you may have seen it

yesterday and been just as shocked as i was and so many were that the uniform code of military justice, the justice process found no additional time served for bowe bergdahl. he will be reduced in rnk are a. he will lose some pay. he won't get v.a. benefits. is he dishonorablably discharged. is he walking away a free man. president trump tweeted -- reaction in keeping the way at love us feel when he tweeted this yesterday after the decision. the decision on sergeant bergdahl is a complete and total disgrace to our country and to our military. abby: yeah. it is an emotional story. and what happened yesterday you think about the seven brave men that lost their lives trying to search for him and many others that no longer have parts of their body, their limbs, they are changed forever because they were just doing their duty. pete: they were searching for the dirt bag that walked off base we traded for five other dirt bags. we feel this on the couch. imagine the guys that served with him on the ground. we had matt on this program

earlier one of the team leaders that served with bowe bergdahl in afghanistan. this was his reaction. >> i felt that the only reason why he pleaded guilty in the first place was to get a sentence like this. i don't think that he pleaded guilty because he feels sorry because he has any remorse over it i think he is a selfish person. and the only people who have ever benefited throughout this whole ordeal is bergdahl and the taliban five that we released. nobody else has ever benefited. kevin: if you follow social media this is one of the things people on the right are most disturbed about for the reason you said earlier the fact we gave five guys away for bergdahl and then we have the people who lost their lives looking for him. the penalty is effectively a slap on the wrist. abby: i don't think this needs to be a political story. it shouldn't be if you are a republicannor democrat you feel a certain way. we should all be on the same page when it comes to our military, what your duties are and what precedent this sends for anyone else who wants to do the same thing

and desert their fellow brothers and sisters out doing their job. pete: terrible, demoralizing. if you have additional thoughts send them to friends@foxnews.com about the so-called justifiable for bo der bergdahl. speaking of justice president trump out yesterday about w. strong comments about some of his frustrations about the focus of doj. and the lack of focus on the other side of the aisle. listen to what president trump had to say. >> i'm really not involved with the justice department. i would like to let it run itself. but, honestly, they should be looking at the democrats. they should be looking at podesta and all of that dishonesty. they should be looking at a lot of things. and a lot of people are disappointed in the justice department, including me. abby: he's talking about that there is a new book, part of what he's talking about. pete: part of a litany. abby: what had gone on in the dnc and donna brazile who briefly ran the dnc opens up in her new book

about just how rigged the system is when it came to democrats the last time. they were completely out of money and clintons stepped up and helped fund raise some of that money in return the dnc had to help them win office which didn't end up happening. this goes to complaints the president had very early on about a rigged system. pete: he said it was rigged very early on. tony podesta involved with the clinton campaign and fusion gps stuff. kevin: what i love about trump when he makes that statement it puts everybody on notice whether it was immigration or muslim terrorists, the trade policy. when he finally speaks about it, suddenly it comes to the fore. even though it seems like innocuous statement. abby: there hasn't been a whole lot of attention on this steer. kevin: that's the way it starts. abby: imagine if this were reversed and imagine if it was president trump that the system was rigged with the rnc. kevin: of course. abby: all people would be talking about is getting him impeached. pete: other thing the mainstream media is doing

politicize the department of justice and punish his political enemies. that's exactly what the obama white house did when they were unmasking and going after trump when they won. they did it in secret. they thought they were never going to be found out. that's different than publicly saying i can't do it. i think we should look at the democrats. that's just an honest opinion. kevin: you are talking about donald trump who came out after the election and said of hillary clinton, i'm going to leave her alone. so, how can you think you're going to have your cake and eat it, too. abby: i don't know that he has left her alone. kevin: no. pete: then the evidence came out. kevin: hillary clinton emerged from her i call it a rat hole. pete: from the woods. kevin: suddenly donald trump says okay we will take the gloves off. abby: robby mook the former clinton campaign manager doesn't want to talk about this at all. he wants to move on quickly. >> i don't honestly know the specifics of it. it sounds like cnn looked into it and took action they saw fit. but, again, anderson, i'm just not interested in these things in the past.

this is why we have got to move beyond 2016. we have a governor's election less than a week away in virginia. we've got critical midterm elections. and i can't say it enough, this tax plan the republicans are proposing is outrageous. abby: you know why you focus on the past to learn from mistakes and move forward as a party. pete: sure, the past ultimately matters as well. don't worry, cnn looked into it. kevin: i love that part. pete: we have got to move on they have time for russia, russia, russia. and whatever happened to paul manafort 10 years ago a special counsel to look at. we don't have time to look at uranium deal under the rug or have time to look at the clinton foundation. thanks, buddy. abby: i do want to bring you other headlines we are following. a fox news alert. iran displaying a long range missile at the site of the 1979 u.s. hostage crisis. thousands gathering in tehran marking the chanting down with u.s. and death to israel.

this their taxes that would go back to the states and say maybe they ought to take look at their property taxes and bring those down a little bit. we are trying to make sure that there is equality across the country like in my state o state of tennessee we don't have high property taxes we have no income tax. that's something we don't write off and give to the federal government as they do in other states. by far and large people are going to see a decrease in their taxes. in the middle income we are going to see about a $1,200 decrease in their taxes. look, this is a house payment. this is money to save for their retirement. maybe for their children's education. that is very, very meaningful. and that's really where our focus was to be able to help those in the middle income. pete: i have got to ask you congresswoman, stories emanating from conservative quarters saying it's actually a hidden tax bracket 46% because there is -- the income that's initially taxed lower if you go over a million it gets added back. in speak to this idea that maybe there is a hidden bracket at the top? >> really what people need

to do is they need to sit down and actually work through the plan. because there are a lot of misconceptions out there. and we're going to be putting some more information out there to help people to understand how to do the incremental as we have been able to do where they take that automatically $24,000, if they are a family, right off of the top. then they work through the other brackets. so, it's -- even though we have simple find the code for most. those at the higher income do have a little bit more of a calculation to do. here's the other thing. they also lose the amt. and that really helps to reduce when you add that $24,000, you allow them to use bracket by bracket. then you take away the amt. they have to put pencil to the paper and sit down. when we do that, we find that most people are going to find that there is a decrease in their taxes. especially in that middle income, which was where our focus. pete: sounds like still. abby: the saw saying is being made. representative black, thank you very much.

she tried to steal the election, now it's time for a reckoning on the left. and they have to ask themselves how does somebody like hillary clinton get to the top of their ticket? kevin: dr. gorka, we have the clintons and whole crooked system there and the wake, the tragedy of what happened in new york just recently with the thai attack and some of the things that the president have brought up that have come to light as well. what do you think about the diversity visa program? >> i think it's russian roulette. we are the most diverse nation the world has ever seen. and then we have a program in part thanks to chuck schumer where somebody from afghanistan, okay, afghanistan is on the list, okay. can spinner a roulette wheel and if the right number comes up, we give him a green card and then this terrorist is able to execute a chain migration of 23 friends and relatives into

pete: talking about being immigrant and socialism brings us to interesting piece of news we saw recently. a foundation released a report saying that 44% of millennials in this country would prefer to live in a socialist country. as a capitalist country founded on that, what does that say about that generation and our education system? >> you know what it says, pete? it says we conservatives are responsible because we allowed the left the radicals, to take over the high schools, to take over the colleges. there is no way you get these results. look at those figures. i read the report from the great foundation, the victims of communism. 26% of millennials think shake avara is a world class hero. this is a man who hated blacks. he was a racist in his own diary read what he says about blacks. he killed. he was a murderer. and then at the bottom of the list, 13% of millennials think stalin was a hero.

stalin executed millions of people. the ukrainian famine was a policy. the black book of communism tells you in the last century 100 million people died as a result of socialism in karl marx that any american, not 13%, any american thinks stalin is a hero is absolutely outrageous. abby: sounds like your parents need to give these millennials a big lecture from what they personally experienced. great to have you on this morning. >> thanks, abby. appreciate it. abby: other headlines we are following. newly released batch of records from jfk's assassination are releasing new details on lee harvey oswald. 1975 cia memo shows no records oswald was connected to the agency. officials also questioning the assassin's trip to the soviet and cuban embassy in mexico city only weeks before that shooting happened. fearing oswald was planning a quickest escape. and a fraternity of florida state university is now suspended after the death of

of florida, 7 million people use the standard deduction. so it's on -- it's doubling. so for individuals, you will get $12,000 now. and for households, couples you are getting 24,000. so that's doubling. when the g.o.p. laid out their plan, they basically said, here's what's going to happen. 97 million individuals and households, about 80% of taxpayers are going to get a -- basically they are going to produce their taxes by 1100 to $1,200. abby: big part of this is simplifying it, right? >> yes. abby: taking it from seven brackets to four brackets. also they say you can file on a post coward. >> that's the whole idea. by going from seven brackets to four brackets. that really simplifies it. people were trying to itemize as many things as possible. that's why they focused on the standard deduction and raising those. i mean, doubling that is great. up to $12,000 you are not going to pay any taxes if you are an individual. 24,000 for couples. that's really big. another thing that is, i think, great and simplifying is they got rid of the

alternative minimum tax. that goes to the wayside. that was actually meant to hit the top 1% originally when it came out. 155 people they were going after. now 4.5 million people actually have to file under the amt. that's gone. people get to keep their -- the 401(k)s and the retirement plans intact. they weren't going to mess with that anymore. that's a really good thing for us. and then especially small business owners, big, big winners. the pass through rate is going to go from 44.6% down to 25%. those are the risk takers here and entrepreneurs. and they are going to get a big relief. 1.7 million small businesses were affected by the obamacare and the mandate. they are going to get relief in taxes. abby: we'll see where this goes. we have seen it play out in healthcare. senate back to the house. a lot of interesting things in here and good things for middle class americans. kevin, thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. abby: still to come geraldo rivera, trish regan and dan bongino here live. this veteran was going to

lady made a stop in hawaii. trump sat down with the u.s. pacific commander navy admiral harry harris and behind closed doors received a military briefing as well as other key military officials. pacific command overseas military operations in the pacific and indian oceans, most notably that includes north korea. but as they deal with that threat, pacific command is also dealing with internal issues. under their watch, 17 sailors died this summer in two separate collisions at sea, and a few days ago the navy released their report and said both of those crashes were preventable and the result of multiple failures by watch standers. if president trump addressed that with the commander, he didn't talk about it publicly. he did talk about how special it was to visit hawaii. he and the first lady visited the uss arizona memorial, and like many other presidents, they laid a wreath to honor the thousands of americans who lost their lives in the attack at pearl harbor. this tripp is long and

incredibly important. trade is going to be a topic as is the growing nuclear threat from north korea. initially, this trip was a little bit shorter. at the last minute, the white house added an extra day in the philippines. president trump said he wanted to add that day because he wants to attend the east asia summit. this conference is more important than the first. abby: ellison, thank you so much. pete: now here to join us is geraldo rivera, fox news correspondent at large. gad morning. you just -- good morning. you just heard ellison, what's your focus? what should be the big takeaway here? >> well, i've been very, very concerned about the state of readiness of the seventh fleet. those two guided missile frigates colliding with commercial cargo vessels just exhibitedded to me, you know, as a lifelong sailor a kind of a gross negligence that i really was alarmed at. and i think that the readiness

of the naval forces in that very strategic part of the world is really paramount. i think that and then, of course, the north korean situation with the nuclear weapons, my goodness, can't think of anything more important. chinese expansion, that's why the seventh fleet readiness is so important. and the civil war raging in the philippines between the muslim radicals and the philippine government with the philippine government's draconian response not only to the islamists, but also to the drug kingpins. i think that this is really a very important trip for the president. i'm delighted that he expanded it, and i can't think of a part of the world that is more crucial right now to the american people. abby: yeah. he's going to step out of the swamp for 11 days which i'm sure is refreshing a lot of the time, but there is still a lot going on here at home. you were pretty fired up about what donna brazile revealed in

her book that's coming out about the dnc. now we know that it was rigged, basically, for the clintons, that they help raise money for the dnc, helped her win that nomination. you said this is the nail in the coffin for the clintons. >> i do. i really believe that it reveals a lot of the stereotyping that the right has been trying to imprint on hillary clinton might, indeed, be true, abby. you have a situation here where the dnc became kind of like a banana republic, kind of like a third world rigged election. we are is so scornful when anti-democratic forces hold these mock elections that are already predetermined, and it really seems as if the democratic nomination for the highest office in the land was a pre-determined outcome. hillary clinton felt destined to be the democratic nominee, and she with her tens of millions of dollars helped engineer that

result in a way that screwed bernie sanders and the other candidates, really disenfranchised in every way you can possibly think of democratic primary voters. and now i don't see any denials with donna brazile. she's saying her words were twisted out of context. it's very simple, was there an honest vote as they presented themselves to the american people or was there, indeed, a rigged outcome that was predetermined to select a candidate like a banana republic does? i submit that the democrats rigged it. abby: that's what she tweeted. kevin: i wanted to ask you do you think it's just going to be hillary clinton that catches the shrapnel or the democrat party in general? we can get to the tweet. >> oh, no, i think this guess way beyond hillary. hillary, kevin, is already an object, a historic figure. she's irrelevant to the future of the democratic party, i believe. but the dnc, as i started to say

yesterday, you have this crucial organization to, you know, that runs half the political processes in the united states of america. if it is, indeed, anti-democratic, if it is, indeed, rigged for a preconceived outcome, then, my goodness, how much more alarming can you get? pete: of course. you look at her former campaign manager though, robby mook, they'll spend all day along with other networks talking about russia, russia, russia, but they say there's no time to look into stuff like this. >> i don't honestly know the specifics of it. it sounds like cnn looked into it and took action as they saw fit. again, anderson, i'm just not interested in the past. we've got to move beyond 2016. we have a governor's election less than a week away in virginia, critical midterm elections, and i can't say it enough, the tax plan the republicans are proposing is outrageous. pete: it was a heck of a pivot.

should we not be interested in 2016? >> well, i think what he's doing, it's like, you know, a guy is hunting deer and it's out of season. he's got the deer on his shoulder, and a guy busts hum. and it's like, oh, god, i didn't know that was there. it's preposterous. you've got to be concerned. if, indeed, you present yourselves to the american people in a very simple fashion, you want to nominate a candidate, you want to vote for this candidate, your vote cants, one man, one vote and all the rest of it when, in fact, what you have is a swamp-borne kind of con cigly yea who predetermines what the outcome is before you get into it. i think that's alarming. many people on the progressive side of the political spectrum, they have a moral superiority particularly in the administration of the 45th president, donald trump. they think this was, oh, you

know, the president, he's an accidental president, you know? he's flawed and look at these horrible republicans and everything they're doing and twisting this and that when, in fact, there is collusion. what's collusion? the collusion is between party bosses and their designated survivor candidate, and they have -- they're manipulating the process in a way that is so unsavory. and because of their moral superiority, so hypocritical, i think that they really have to clean their house. kevin: geraldo, can we get your take on something else here? bergdahl. what are your thoughts about him not serving jail time for abandoning his post in afghanistan? >> well, you know, i feel two things, kevin. first of all, i spent an awful lot of time in afghanistan between 2001 and 2012. the g.i.s live under rigorous, dangerous, perilous concerns. i can see so many of my friends

who have come back, and they have ptsd or other, you know, mental illnesses as a result of the trauma they've endured. i am inclined to mercy to bergdahl. but every single g.i. i speak to -- and to this i yield to major hegseth. what every one of them to a man or woman is outraged by the leniency shown by the military judge. so when i'm inclined to say, okay, he's got ptsz, schizophrenia, all these other mental issues, he was a prisoner of the taliban for years, cut him some slack, i have to yield to pete and the other veterans who say, wait a second, he left his post during combat, he's a traitor, he's a lowdown and dirty scum who endangered his mates in combat there, and he should have gotten jail time, and he did not. abby: not to mention, the six families who lost someone that they loved searching for this

subject for political debate and controversy -- pete: what about something like uranium one if there are real, potentially back-door deals -- >> nothing criminal. very bad, nothing criminal. you know, i'm a criminal lawyer. i start by finding the statute. you know, remember the old commercial where's the beef? where's the statute? what was violated? nothing was violated when -- if and when donald trump and the campaign colluded with the russians. no evidence of that. if there was evidence of it, it'd be no crime. no evidence of any crime when it comes to hillary clinton and the dnc. you have to make a sharp distinction -- abby: were you surprised? >> -- between what people did wrong -- abby: were you surprised with donna brazile, that she did throw the clintons under the bus? and it's what the president did say was happening all through the election psych? >> look, it's a good thing. i like when we have full disclosure on transparency on

both sides. our political system is not a particularly good one when it comes to, you know, being able to see what's actually going on. so she performed a useful function. but i am very surprised, because she is such a loyalist. she's a close friend of the clintons. what is she doing disclosing this? it's going to hurt the democrats and, you know, but when people get angry on both sides, you get these disclosures. we're going to see some on the republican side as well. kevin: professor, so i gave you the tip earlier that i was going to ask this question, but, you know, i think there's some blatant dislike of the clintons. but i think the audience is going to be fixated on this one part where you say there may not be any criminality. >> that's right. kevin: but we're talking about $145 million diverted from russia to the clinton foundation, and you say there's no criminality. i don't know about statutes, but i think most of america's going to be pretty offended that our uranium was used as a bargaining chip so that the clintons could

end rich themselves, and there's no outcome for that? >> it's so interesting because, look, you should be outraged. you should be outraged if there's collusion between the republicans and the russians, but the different between outrage and criminality has to be kept sharp. otherwise anything you disagree with if you're the people in power, you can go after your political enemies. today it's clinton, tomorrow it's trump, the next day it's sanders, after that it's you! pete: that's an important point, because if you get something like a bob mueller situation, listen, you can't -- if you don't have a statute, you've got nothing. >> he should never have been appointed. this should have been a bipartisan, nonpartisan, independent commission looking into how russia influenced the election. then expanding it to see whether the dnc played an ignoble role. all americans care about our electoral process, but don't start with crime. end, if you find evidence of crime, then you appoint the special counsel. kevin: nice to be --

indonesia for barack obama where i was the lead advance agent, and the logistics alone are are a nightmare. you were a military man, you know what it's like to move tanks and equipment, well, we have to move the presidential fleet over there which is almost the equivalent of a tank when you do it. it's very tough. one of the big keys to success on this is how good the locals are at securing their people and the countries he's going to, they're very good at it. pete: dan, what would you be looking for? what's the key to this trip being successful? >> well, on this one, obviously, on the political side it's going to be the messaging, but on the security side, seamless interaction with the locals. i've worked with the south koreans before, i coordinated a transportation advance for president president bush in south korea, and they are absolute professionals. i also did a trip to china and japan with michael chertoff when he was the dhs secretary, and i can tell you, on the protection side, guys, nobody wants, obviously, the president hurt in their country. the chinese, each though they may be a little bit of a

[laughter] [inaudible conversations] >> the guy tries -- i don't know why we have a problem with any

of that stuff. but he's done very well. he generally sticks to the script on these things on the speeches, so i think it's going to go quite well, and i think the key takeaway's going to be our relationship with china and we really need to do something about them and their relationship with the north koreans right now, square that away. abby: i agree. pete: donna brazile decided to not stick to the script. normally a democratic loyalist now writing a book saying she was heartbroken when she learned that, actually, the whole system had been rigged in favor of hillary clinton. now she's stepping back and saying that maybe she was misquoted, but when a loyalist like her comes out and says, hey, it was rigged against bernie, she said the fundraising agreement was clearly meant to favor hillary clinton, what does that mean? >> yeah. this is absolute democrat, right? i mean, accuse your opponents of everything you do; russian collusion? yeah, now we know it was the hillary and the dnc. rigged election? yeah, now we know it was hillary through the dnc in d.c..

abby: president trump making america k again. the newest october unemployment numbers now out with the u.s. economy adding 261,000 jobs -- pete: and that's not all, the unemployment rate falling with president trump tweeting this ts this morning: unemployment is down to 4.1%, 1.5 million new jobs created since i took office, highest stock market ever, up $5.4 trillion.

key conservative joining -- conservative conservative joining us is anchor of "the intelligence report" on fox business, trish regan. >> hey. abby: good morning. >> i was, like are, racing myself trying to get here. [laughter] with the crowd. but i made it. abby: it's great to have you. what is your reaction to the numbers yesterday? >> good. i mean, very, very, very good. granted, i still want to see wages move higher, but this is absolutely the direction we should be heading in. unemployment is falling. as the president said, 17-year low. that's very good news. more people back to work, upwards of 200,000. and don't forget you had some hurricanes factoring into all of that as well, so the expectation is next month will be that much better. in fact, if you look at the revisions for last month, we added an additional 90,000 jobs. so all of this is suggesting a lot of positive economic growth. we've all talked about how confidence has improved, right? people are feeling better.

pete: so unemployment rate going down is, obviously, a good thing. in the past we've talked about how that can be deceptive. >> we're still not seeing enough people go back to work. i think the underemployment numbers are still there to a certain extent, you're seeing not enough people are going out and looking. i think that will start to pick up in time. don't forget you're look at gdp numbers of 3%, 3.1 -- abby: could we get to 4? >> i think so. absolutely. especially if you think about tax reform and once you, you know, equate for the hurricanes no longer being an issue, you're going to start to see that spring forward. and so this is all very good. i mean, i think back over the last ten years and we've been through a lot economically, and we didn't have quite the same level of optimism that i believe -- kevin: speaking of optimism, christmas season coming up, i predict best season we've had in nine years -- >> well, that would be great. the retail industry needs it.

kevin: i know it. >> retail is really suffering, and it would be great to see consumer spending. hook, this is where tax cuts also come in, right? both from a corporate and individual standpoint. the more people have money, the more they're able to hang on to a little bit more of their paycheck, the more they're going to go out and spend it. so that's good for the economy. so if we can give people a little bit of a raise that way, that would be great. they deserve it, they need it, they haven't gotten a raise in more than 20 years. the other factor is corporate tax cuts. that'll go a real long ways towards getting this economy growing. 4%, maybe even 5% on gdp -- kevin: wow. abby: all right, you heard it right there. pete: we'll see if republicans can get out of their own way. abby: we've seen this celebration before with health care. trish, good to see you. believe it or not, christmas just around the corner. we've got the hottest toys for the holidays coming up next. ♪ ♪ what started as a passion...
