4:01 pm
hello, john. >> reporter: julie -- [speaking japanese] on a sup morning, we're at -- on a sunday morning, we're at the air base just west of tokyo where the president's going to touch down in about two and a half hours' time. the first order of business will be an address to the troops, 14,000 of them stationed here. behind me, a contingent of marines here on the mainland, they were doing some training, and they're transferring back to okinawa, so they will be part of this evening's goings-on as well. the president took off a little while ago from honolulu after spending a day there. he's going to be on a five-nation tour of the asia-pacific rim. this is going to be the longest presidential tour of this area of the world since george h.w. bush, and that was some 25 years ago. the president will start here in japan, then he's going to go to south korea. from south korea he will go to da nang for the apec conference in vietnam, then on to hanoi.
4:02 pm
from there, he'll go to beijing for a couple of days and finish off by going to manila in the philippines. the president spent an entire day in hawaii yesterday. he gave an address to the troops that were stationed there where he touched down and as well visited the uss arizona memorial where he and the first lady, melania trump, placed a wreath into the water above the remains of the uss arizona, also threw some petals into the water as is tradition as well. his chief of staff, john kelly, was there as well and taking in the scene there in front of the memorial wall. his daughter, ivanka trump, was here in japan on friday, kind of laying the groundwork for this trip. she spoke at a women's empowerment conference in tokyo and also had dinner with the prime minister, shinzo abe. the president, as you mentioned, julie, will be spending much of today with shinzo abe, in fact, almost all of it besides this address to the troops here. he's going to have lunch, then get together and hit the little
4:03 pm
white ball around with both abe and hawaii deck key matsuyama who is ranked number four in the world in professional golf. the president getting off to a bit of a recreational start today, but he's got a lot of heavy lifting ahead of him with a lot of important talks on security in the region, particularly with north korea at the center of it all as well as trade. the president not particularly happy with the fact that the u.s. is running trade deficits with japan, huge one with china and with south korea as well. so those agenda items will be all high on the table. julie? julie: john, what are we hearing about a meeting with putin and a possible visit to the dmz? >> reporter: they still haven't made up their minds whether there's going to be a meeting with putin, and that would happen in da nang during that a apec summit. you'll -- iowa peck summit -- aipec summit. it's possible they could meet again, but nobody is saying right now. he is not going to go to the dmz, he's going to make a visit
4:04 pm
to camp humphreys in south korea, and e there's just not enough time to do both, so they decided this time around at least he's not going to visit the dmz. there's also some question with techs as high as -- tensions as high as they are, the u.s. president visiting the dmz may be seen as a provocation, so that's not on the agenda for this trip. julie: john roberts in tokyo, thank you very much. meantime, a sneak peek at how the secret service is prepping for the president's trip to asia. a former agent says it is a big deal for the secret service, each calling it a mini super bowl. listen. >> these are like little, mini super bowls for the secret service. and i can tell you, the lo gist gistics -- logistics alone are a nightmare. one of the can keys to success is how good the locals are, and the countries he's going to are very good at it. julie: the secret service tweeting these pictures loading up the beast. the president's car, which can

actually withstand a number of different attacks. house republicans are ready to take the next step in their effort to overhaul our tax system. on monday the house ways and means committee will start the mark-up process on the bill released earlier this week. democrats are condemning the bill. they say that it'll only benefit the wealthiest americans and corporations while, meantime, some republicans are also raising a red flag. vice president mike pence hitting the road today to drum up support for the plan in pennsylvania. >> the best way to grow jobs in this country is to give the american people more of their hard-earned dollars in their own pockets and to give businesses more resources to invest in ways that will create jobs. julie: garrett tenney is live in washington to pick up the story from there. garrett, several house republicans have already said they're going to vote against the gop's tax plan if changes are not made, correct? >> reporter: yeah, these are largely republicans from states with high taxes, state and local, and where real estate is more important because as it
4:06 pm
stands now the gop plan eliminates deductions for state and local taxes meaning folks in high-tax states such as new york, new jersey, california amongst others would be paying more in taxes than they do right now. the gop plan also lowers the cap on the mortgage interest rate deduction from a million dollars to $500,000 which, going forward, would hit folks buying homes in this areas that are more expensive. because of those changes, five house republicans have come out against the bill and are now pushing for changes. >> i believe that the state and local tax deduction should stay entirely. there are some people who want the eliminate the state and local tax deduction entirely. i look at the idea of eliminating the state and local tax deduction as a geographic redistribution of wealth because you're taking money from a place like new york to provide deeper tax cuts elsewhere. >> reporter: the issue for republican leadership is they need to find a way to essentially balance the budget here by finding a way to pay for
4:07 pm
the tax cuts that they're proposing and eliminating these deductions is one way they're hoping to do that, at least for now. julie? julie: how open is the gop leadership to making changes to its current plan? >> reporter: well, on friday kevin brady, chairman of the house ways and means committee, said he's learned to never say never when it comes to negotiations on tax reform. they've already made a number of technical modifications and slight adjustments to the plan since it was introduced on thursday, but at this point it's also a race against the clock to get this passed because outside interest groups are also going through this plan to see how it affects them, and they're going to start lobbying efforts for those changes to be able to benefit them. and at the same time, republicans are facing some strong opposition from democrats including the top democrat on the house ways and means committee who argue the gop plan will explode the deficit. >> there might be the sugar high of growth for a year or so, but you're going to be stuck with debt that's going to be

passinged on to these children for a tax cut for people at the very top. >> reporter: despite all those hurdles, house leadership is still optimistic they'll pass something to the senate by thanksgiving, and from there senate leaders are hopeful but a bit more cautious they'll be able to get it to the president's desk by christmas. julie: we'll have to see if we're all going to get it. garrett tenney, thank you. vice president pence will also appear on sunday morning futures tomorrow to talk more about tax reform. here's a preview of his interview with maria bartiromo. watch. >> the top 10% pay right now more than 70% of the tax. so are you actually cutting taxes on people who don't pay tax? shouldn't you be cutting taxes on the people who pay tax? >> well, the president very much wants to see this tax cut focused on middle class americans, and we believe we're going to see a significant tax reduction for working families. when you take the standard deduction for couples and take that to $24,000, the first
4:09 pm
$24,000 in income is tax-free, now, the house bill doesn't raise the rate. i know the math that you talk about, but it doesn't raise the rate from 39.6 -- maria: but 45.6 is raising the rate. >> the president wants to see us lower the rates on working families, expanding the per-child tax credit, getting rid of the death taxes once and for all we think is going to benefit the ability to transfer businesses and family farms from one generation to the next. but the intention here is not to raise taxes, maria. the intention here, though, is to focus the tax relief on the middle class. julie: catch that entire interview tomorrow, sunday morning futures airs at 10 a.m. eastern time right here on the fox news channel. well, the fbi, congressional security and local police are all investigating after senator rand paul was allegely assaulted. a scary scene for the kentucky senator. basically, a station there is reporting that an ongoing feud

4:30 pm
the agreement in question was leaked to a number of media outlets, first, nbc news. it said in exchange for helping the deeply in debt dnc raise money, staff with hillary for america would have, quote, joint authority over strategic decisions like staffing, budget and communications. the agreement said it applied to the general election and not the democratic primary. it also said the dnc could enter similar agreements with other candidates. some democrats say point-blank the dnc rigged the election and changes need to be made. >> very quickly, senator, do you agree with the notion that it was rigged? >> yes. >> we must bring about real campaign finance reform. we must get rid of the undemocratic system of superdelegates. >> reporter: according to "the washington post," the dnc chair and deputy chair both pledged to reform the party in light of these allegations. tom perez, the dnc chair, also said that the joint fundraising committees for both campaigns have been shut down. julie? julie: all right. let's bring in melissa clint for
4:31 pm
more on this, a reporter for the washington examiner. thank you for talking to us. so we all know hillary's book, it's titled "what happened." brazile might have actually titled her book i'll tell you what happened, because she comes out with this big bombshell in regards to what was going on behind the scenes, and she's writing that she seriously contemplated replacing hillary clinton as the party's 2016 presidential nominee with then-vice president biden and senator cory booker in the aftermath of clinton's fainting spell. is this a surprise to you and to those in washington? what's the reaction? >> well, good evening, and thank you for having me. i think for a lot of supporters of bernie sanders, no, this is not a surprise to them at all. of course, if you remember during the primaries and heading into the general election, a lot of supporters of senator sanders came out and said that they really felt that the dnc was effectively tipping the scales in hillary clinton's favor, insuring that she went ahead and clinched the nomination.
4:32 pm
and now what we know from donna brazile is that their suspicions are confirmed. julie: yeah. donna brazile, first of all, she's revealing that the dnc was rigged by hillary clinton in the primary. what are her revelations confirming with regard to the suspicions that many bernie sanders' supporters actually had regarding the dnc and hillary clinton? >> well, i think a lot of them were thinking that the dnc was really working to insure that she was, indeed, the democratic party's nominee and that did, in fact, happen. what is striking from this joint fundraising agreement is that the dnc -- or, excuse me, hillary clinton's campaign had a ton of control over the dnc in terms of who they hired from their communications director, i believe in her op-ed in politico the excerpt that was published there, donna donna brazile said this really answered questions as to why she couldn't so much as send out a press release without sending it to clinton's campaign headquarters in brooklyn. and, of course, they also had full control over the finances and strategic operations as
4:33 pm
well. so while the dnc may -- and some of clinton's supporters may say that they did not make these changes or exercise this power until after she clinched the nomination, i think a lot of bernie sanders' supporters at this point are probably very disappointed, upset and don't have a lot of trust in the party as a whole. julie: the president tweeted about it too. i always felt i would be running and winning against bernie sanders, not crooked h.. without cheating. i was right. how does the dnc recover from that? >> well, i think at this point tom perez, the new chairman, really needs to go ahead and make sure that there is unity and trust within the full democratic party. what was especially striking about elizabeth warren's comments saying that, yes, she did feel the dnc rigged the primary in hillary clinton's favor is that a lot of democrats would really love to see her be the party's nominee for president in 2020. and at this point, especially now since she feels like the dnc acted unethically and is in the
4:34 pm
wrong here, tom perez and the party really need to make sure to build unity and try to rebuild trust with the whole, full spectrum of democrats. julie: you know, and elizabeth warren, she also believed -- and you touched on this just now -- that the dnc actually rigged the primaries in clinton's favor, and that would be something that would be on president trump's side because here you have the democrat agreeing with him. but then the president actually went on with senator elizabeth warren earlier this week on a completely unrelated note, calling her pocahontas at one point and then, of course, elizabeth warren responded in a tweet to which elizabeth replied: i understand your desperation to change the subject@real donald trump, your campaign manager was just indicted for conspiracy against the u.s. so the message here is sort of getting detracted in a way because here you have a democrat who believed the dnc rigged the primaries in clinton's favor, but now she is now bringing up, you know, paul manafort and his
4:35 pm
indictment which kind of sets the white house back a bit because they have a democrat who's actually on their side when it comes to the dnc rigging the primary which is actually a good thing. i mean, do you think there's any way that perhaps elizabeth warren and president trump maybe could somehow meet in the middle on this particular issue and maybe the war of words on twitter, put those to rest? >> i'm not sure if they can necessarily meet in the middle. of course, what we're seeing from elizabeth warren who i think would with represent more the far left is that they really are going to be opposed to president trump and his agenda no matter what. and then when you add in the fact that we have the investigation from numerous congressional committees as well as the justice department ongoing, we just saw robert mueller file his first charges against paul manafort and rick gates last week. unfortunately, i think that it's going to be difficult for them to meet in the middle. however, elizabeth warren, of course, did stun a lot of people when she said that she felt that the dnc rigged the primaries.
4:36 pm
but that war of words i don't think is going to come to an end anytime soon. julie: all right. wishful thinking on my behalf. all right, so the question now is how does the dnc move forward, and i want your reaction after you listen to this comment by the former deputy campaign manager for martin o'malley, lis smith. listen. >> we know something that the dnc handled themselves inappropriately in 2016. that was addressed in the dnc chair race this year, and now it's important that we go ahead and focus on how we win in the elections on tuesday and the elections in 2018. we certainly need to internalize the lessons. julie: have democrats learned a lesson here? >> i think that that is the million dollar question, and we will see how that plays out in 2018 and especially how that plays out in 2020. particularly if we see bernie sanders or elizabeth warren gain the democratic presidential nominee in the election year and, ultimately, challenge president trump. so i'm sure a lot of people are going to be on their toes
