but we'll be back next sunday morning. [♪] eric: president trump kicking off his first tour of asia as president. the president preparing for critical meeting with the leaders of japan, south korea and china. arthel: the president is already stressing his close ties with japan prime minister shinzo abe. and the need to build a united front in the face of north

korea's nuclear ambitions. >> we are in the midst of having major discussions on many subjects including north korea and trade and other things. and we are doing very well. i think we are doing very well. the relationship is really extraordinary. we like each other, and our countries like each other. i don't think we have ever been closer to japan and we are right now. arthel: kevin corke is in tokyo. how much support can the president get from the japanese to help rain in kim jong-un. reporter: the answer is plenty if you are talking about strategic support. there is a feeling among many in the region that as the rhetoric becomes overwhelming, the concern is that that could ultimately lead to a hot war

between north korea and our partners here in the region. so you have to be careful and keep that in consideration. the president did speak to troops. he said the u.s. is prepared to act if necessary not only to protect the homeland from pyongyang but also our friends abroad. president trump: no one, no dictator, no regime, and no nation should underestimate ever american resolve. we'll never yield, never waver in defense our people and our great american flag. reporter: just some of the remarks made by the president at the yokota air base in japan. while north korea will continue to be the main topic

you and i discussed, trade is a big story here. the president has talked a great deal about the need to have a more balanced trade relationship with our partners. he brought with him someone who is very important. to try to help bridge the gap. if you want to talk pure numbers. the u.s. has a $50 billion trade deficit with japan just this year. so that's only through august. it is an important aspect of this trip. the president is ready to talk about trade. he spent a little bit of time at that dinner you saw him just mention with prime minister shinzo abe. on occasion you will have to deal with a situation where you will say to your friend, his very good friend, i can't have this sort of imbalance that we can have, a mix of business and pleasure. speaking of business and pleasure. there was a bit happening on the golf course which is trump-like.

the president would love to get out there and hit the ball with a friend. they played golf with a professional golfer. abe called the president his marvelous friend. arthel: i want to go back to trade for a second. did you think there would be any concessions the u.s. can expect from japan? reporter: the short answer is probably. but it won't come out in a grand deliverable, arthel. i mentioned the u.s. trade representative traveling in tow. the idea is to bring the tables together. and see if there is some way to have more bilateral relationships with japan and throughout the region before creating this grander pac we

already talked about. the president pulled the u.s. out of tpp. now can they come to an agreement to bridge the gap? i mentioned the u.s. trade ambassador. his job as it's been it explains is to create an environment that's more favorable in the future. also a great many of our partners in the region. it's not just china which typically gets all the big head lines. it's a major trade gap with japan and south korea as well. we'll see how much he gets done. we are not expecting a lot. but some deliverable as the are pretty common. arthel: it's 2:05 a.m., so i say

[speaking japanese] good morning and good night. eric: very impressive, arthel. kim jong-un launches a nuclear program. ambassador john bolton joins us now. and chairman of the gatesstone here in new york. the president said he hopes he helps on north korea. what do you think we can expect? >> i think they will cover a whole range of issues. whenever you get the two leaders together, they have a full agenda. i'm sure north korea will be there. the russians for years were part

of the so-called six-party talks. they went nowhere except they bought time of for north korea to make more progress. russia has flown wingman to china in the u.n. security council. just as china has flown russia's wing in the security council protecting iran from stricter sanctions. russia basically doesn't see the iran nuclear capability as a threat to them. they think it's our problem. they would like to see the two koreas reunited. but they want to see a stronger russian-korean trade relationship to counter china. there is a lot of asian politics involved here when putin considers russia's role in the far east.

eric were the "wall street journal" says the best assurance for asian democracy is to be sure xi jinping's long-term goal is to push the u.s. out of asia, and the obama years encouraged xi to pursue that goal more aggressively. the first test for mr. trump's new strategyt will be to convince him that it's backfiring. >> it's almost inevitable if that goes on, you will see japan get nuclear weapons. that might happen anyway. but north korea is the proximate threat. xi jinping who approaches this meeting with president trump with an unparalleled position of power in china.

i think the president has to put it to him directly. you have to stop fooling around like you have for the past 25 years, saying you didn't want north korea to have nuclear weapons, and doing precious little bit and get serious with us. we can reunite the peninsula, and we can overthrow kim jong-un's regime. the president said that denuclearization of north korea is the only way forward. obviously everybody wants that to be done peacefully. but you have to face reality. for 25 years we have tried to pressure or convince north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program and failed for 25 years. they are at the finish line. cia director mike pompeo said it will be a matter of months. let's say it's at the end of 2018. unless you are prepared to lead

north korea with nuclear weapons. and denuclearize them. then the united states is going to have to look to doing it on its own. nobody wants to talk about the military option. but that's basically all there is left. you can certainly be concerned about the effect on south korea. bust alternative is the risk of -- but the alternative is the risk of dead americans. that's what the american people should focus on, that's what president trump should focus on. he should do what's necessary to keep the threat of a north korean threat becoming palpablely real. arthel: top democrats are slamming the gop tax plan saying it favors corporate america over the middle class. vice president mike pence spoke

ex cluesly with maria bartiromo on sunday morning futures. he says he's confident the bill will pass in time for the holidays. >> president trump has been breaking bread with democrats in the house look for a way to go forward. but we want to go forward in a way that reflects president pret trump's framework for the middle clools it's focused on businesses having more dollars to invest and create jobs. it's based on simplification. ' democrats that join us in that, we are grateful for their support. arthel: is there anything in the gop's plan that democrats will support. >> when it comes to putting your name down on it, there aren't any indications that any democrats will be able to jump on board.

that's what gop leadership is hoping for. they can use their majorities to pass a tax reform bill based on conservatives. house minority leader nanlsy pelosi complained about the gop strategy. somewhat we have said is if you are going to do a whole revision of the tax code, it should be done in a bipartisan way. that's the only wait will be fair, simplified and sustainable. with the speed of light in the dark of night they are trying to move this in a matter of days from when we have seen it until they will vote on it. reporter: that's the same strategy democrats used when they passed the accordable care

act. now she is unhappy when the shoe is on the other foot. arthel: are republican if i dent they can pass this bill on their own? reporter: we are hearing they are confident they will be able to get this done, and the process is moving along at a good pace. but with healthcare, republicans were not able toll pass the bill through the senate. house speak per paul ryan said they have drawn on lessons from that experience to make sure tax reform has a better result. >> we did things differently this time because of the healthcare experience. we passed it in may and the senate couldn't get it done. we worked with the senate from the summer on to put this bill together to create a framework of this bill and launch this thing together and to be very coordinated. reporter: the house ways and

means committee will begin marking you have the bill tomorrow with the hope it will pass the full house by thanksgiving. from there have a bill on the president's desk by christmas. an ambitious timeline, they say they are confident they can get it done. eric: there has been a massive crackdown in saudi arabia as authorities have arrested dozen of high-ranking officials in as corruption sweem. the heir apparent to the throne has promised to clean up the corruption. reporter: it's being carried out under the pretext of fighting corruption. that's the official line coming out from riyadh officially. but there is a least scepticism about what's happening in saudi arabia. in the last few months the now

crown prince bin salman, he has made public statements about fighting terrorism and modernizing saudi arabia and tackling corruption. the trump administration counts him as a valuable ally. but he's best known for pursuing an aggressive foreign policy including their war in yemen and intensifying the regional conflict with iran. among the princes that were arrested in the last 24 hours, prince alwaleed talel. he's one of the world's richest men, a major investor in twitter, and 21st century fox. he has publicly feuded with president trump. president trump accused him of trying to bievment s. politicians. the man has not been taken to a

prison, according to reports coming out of saudi arabia. those who have been arrested have been take to the ritz carlton and under house arrest. eric: under arrest at the ritz carlton. never heard that before. arthel: new york city set to host its annual marathon. plus donna brazile's new book, shining a light on democratic infighting. including brazile considered replacing hillary clinton as the democratic nome knee. >> we thought the clintons lived above the rules. but this takes the cake. for them to virtually be running the dnc in a primary is such a deck stacked is pretty jaw dropping to me

arthel: donna brazile revealing democratic disarray during the presidential election in her new book called "hacks." brazile discusses how she seriously considered vice president joe find replace

hillary clinton as the democratic nominee after hoik prr fainted at the 9/11 ceremony. >> i was under tremendous pressure after secretary clinton fainted to have a quote-unquote plan b. arthel: is the katl the calculao sell books or tough love for her party. hang out the dirty laundry and force the party to make corrections. >> it's probably all of the above. the democrats have been playing the blame game since the election. they have been focusing on blaming everyone but the candidate herself until now. this is the first time we are hearing somebody at the top of the democratic party saying there were certain things about

the campaign that were unfair to the other party candidates and there were reasons hillary clinton shouldn't have been the candidate. hillary clinton in her own book does not blame herself at all. she blames the russians and james comey. arthel: the con tell placing replacing hillary clinton with joe biden, it's not a move the dnc chair can make on her own. she has to consult with top democrats in congress and ultimately she did not put that ball in play. when you consider who might have known about miss brazil's considerations, does that matter? >> she would have had to work with people in the party and also democratic governors. democrats in congress would have had a say, too. i think the fact that she is coming out with this.

this is how you can tell hillary clinton's political career is officially over. democrats are no longer too scared of the clinton machine to criticize her. the gloves are coming off. arthel: i want to play a little bit more from donna brazile on abc this we. >> i don't think she meant the word rigged. what i said george, after i left this show on july 24. i said i would get to the bottom of everything. i called senator sanders and said i wanted to make sure there was no rigging in the process. i'm on the rules and by laws committee. i found no evidence. the only thing i found, i found the cancer but i'm not killing the patient. is this memorandum that didn't allow the dnc to run its own operation.

arthel: concerning brazile's assertions the clinton campaign had control over the dnc fidgess and operations. an email obtained by nbc news showed the lawyers told the sanders campaign that they could have influence over how money would be spent for the general election if they raised enough cash for the party. but you have two former sanders campaign officials saying they were never offered a deal like clintons and they didn't know the details of the deal. when you look at the picture. what is the big correction the dems have to make? >> i have mixed feeling about this one. is bernie sanders a democrat snow ran for the democratic presidential nomination. but he does not sit as a democrat in the senate.

he caucuses with them. but except when he ran for president when he needed to use the party. arthel: you are saying there are problems inside the democratic party? >> there is. it's not just the personalities. bernie sanders supporters are more progressive, people like senator warren. and they are anxious to take control and push the democratic party further to the left. a lot of moderate democrats think maybe we lost because we had a president who was so progressive, it turned a lot of americans off. if we go further in that direction we'll turn americans off. a lot of people talk about the fight in the democratic party, and there is soul searching to do. this will be reading on every democratic desk in the next month. arthel: after the dust settles

will donna brazile be seen as party traitor or savior? >> i think savior eventually. it will be hard now because people don't like the nastiness coming from her tone. i have to say identity politics has been a big part of what she has been talking about. she decided not to try to replace clinton in part because she thought all the women excited about hillary clinton. she said i can't do that to them. that's something the democratic party needs to think about, whether identity politics has been working for them. eric: last week's deadly terrorist attack. thankfully today it failed to deter 50,000 runners from from participate in new york city's marathon. how police are keeping them safe as well as an outpouring of

support for one of the victims killed in that rampage. >> it hits close to home. it's hard. eric: many are mourning the two americans killed in that attack. darren drake in new jersey. he had dinner every night with his parents. two bright futures, two of our fellow citizens cut down by radical islamic terrorism. fe drk every six months i'm accident-free. and i don't share it with mom. right, mom? right. safe driving bonus checks, only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. only from allstate. booking a flight doesn't have to be expensive. just go to priceline. it's the best place to book a flight a few days before my trip and still save up to 40%. just tap and go... for the best savings on flights, go to priceline.

..

this lovely lady has a typical airline credit card.

so she only earns double miles on purchases she makes from that airline. what'd you earn double miles on, please? ugh. that's unfortunate. there's a better option. the capital one venture card. with venture, you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, everywhere, every day. not just airline purchases. seems like a no-brainer. what's in your wallet? arthel: fox news alert and some history in the new york city marathon. trillion flanigan becoming the first american woman since 1977 to win the race. flanagan winning the race in just under two hours and 27 minutes. jeffrey kumar of kenya winning on the men's side. turn to how about that. go, go, still running out there all day.

meanwhile, 30s assembled the largest security team in the american history to protect today. the race of course follows last week's deadly terrorist attack here in manhattan. how can authorities prevent this from happening again? from her cia officer saxton with as. bob, good to see you. first of all, they've got the era caved in trucks and all that, but that's a physical barrier. what else should authorities be doing to try and protect soft targets? >> clearly areas very high traffic and also have a symbolic significance like a marathon, you are looking to put in as many plays vehicle barriers in place as he can. there is no limiting vehicle traffic. there are inherent limitations as well. new york and n.y.p.d. are as good at this as anybody and they've done a pretty good job up to this point of making sure high-traffic areas are

protected. eric: had never seen this before. i took some pictures walking to work today. i was singing the sanitation tracks comments and track simply have have those purity or they are. mind up on fifth avenue and every type of intersection to prevent someone from slamming in. there is the plaza hotel on 59th street and the police car going back and forth, reverse and forward to let officials in. we've got to do this all around the country at every public event to prevent a terrorist and doing what happened this past week. >> a lot of concrete barriers. the godoy sports stadium. most people don't notice that things are often put in place specifically meant to prevent a vehicle friend getting inside to run people down. train to every sidewalk in the united states. >> be her doing what they can based on the probabilities and percentages here to eliminate mass casualty in a major event

or just the day-to-day sense to prevent a very congested area of a major city for being an obvious target from somebody with the vehicle. the problem with these attacks is just how difficult they are to prevent. there's not much that can be done beyond war to stop what authority happening. eric: allegedly radicalized online. can we go after the social media sites and block it, block them. >> those efforts are underway in house been for a long time. one force and intelligence agencies look at what they can, but it's a very big pool of people you have to be concerned about with the different maps, the encrypted apps for example, even problems getting access to them sometimes. you have to watch a lot of individuals in conversation beauty simply don't have resources to do 24 sevenths surveillance even when you know someone has radicalized. they may just be written down.

eric: say that again. if authorities know someone has been radicalized, it's not possible to have 24 sevenths surveillance and every individual that ideologically radicalized. if they do not have criminal activity they can be arrested for. just saying the islamic state is a good thing. we are just saying you wish one day the jihad would overtake america. this is america. you can say that and not go to prison for it. conspiracy to commit a terrorist act and oftentimes that is how we see some individuals stopped in progress. there were dozens and dozens of plots year in year out stopped before they get to be operational data not because of monitoring of social media, radicalized groups. so that is all ongoing. we are doing a good job in this country, but they only have to be right one time. we have to be right every time. eric: if this guy, if saipov was

online, can we from the radical point of view find out who's on there? >> i would get someone on the radar, but just looking at mri lackey, i used work in terrorism back in a living and 2010. the n.y.p.d. and the joint terrorism task force working with the faisal shazad case, that's not an illegal act. they have to take a step beyond that from a material support, trying to buy illegal weapons or explosives. they can monitor and they are monitoring and doing the best they can. you are talking about a huge amount of individuals that fall under the category of have not broken the law but have concerning ideology. eric: finally, they want to fly the flag and wanted to fly the flag in his hospital room.

he's unapologetic. how do you unapologetic. have you given their head here in america and is proud that he killed these people. >> it's not surprising at all he is a true believer in this way in this light in a separate table to this extent given what he did. you are hopeful for the one person in perspective that someone might saipov is more open about his intentions, once to be a briber about his plan. that's often how these guys get stopped before they can hurt somebody. they have good operational security, if they keep it quiet, don't try a complex plot, gets harder. >> the challenge of our time, thank you for her service to this country. thank you for being here this sunday. arthel: an incredible outpouring of support for one of the big guns killed in last week's rampage in new york city. hundreds of people including strangers showing up to mourn jerry drake in his hometown. >> just tell them he was a

wonderful spirit. not happy to be here, but happy to have known him. we miss him. >> he was super, super intelligent. got his masters degree. down to earth, sweetie. >> drake was one of the eight people killed in the worst terror attack to hit new york city since 9/11. jerry drake was just 32 years old. eric: meanwhile, more claims of sexual harassment and assault now rocking hollywood. a live report. the latest reaction that growing scandals coming out here plus in washington, house republicans praising their new tax plan. >> we just got a huge win for middle-class taxpayers come even in high tax states like mine. eric: turns out some of the colleagues in the senate are not as excited. what are they going to do? drew ferguson was here. his take on the republican bill.

whoooo.

you're searching for something. like the perfect deal... ...on the perfect hotel. so wouldn't it be perfect if... ....there was a single site... ...where you could find the... ...right hotel for you at the best price? there is. because tripadvisor now compares... ...prices from over 200 booking... ...sites ...to save you up to 30%... ...on the hotel you want. trust this bird's words. tripadvisor. the latest reviews. the lowest prices.

eric: thousands protest in barcelona over catalonia's push for independence from spain. demonstrators they are also calling for the release of the joad catalonia leaders. they are part of madrid's crackdown in response for the declaration of independence from spain. >> people came today because we want to send a message to europe that our president is still jailed in the independence movement still didn't finish and people are still striving to give independent in a peaceful way. >> so far eight of the nine separatist leaders have been jailed without the possibility of bail. transfer the house gop tax plan raising red flags for republican

senators. at least six members are airing concerns about the bill, setting the stage for another fierce title in the upper chamber. house speaker paul ryan is addressing some of those worries. >> here is what is fair. cleanup of special-interest loopholes in the tax code and let them keep in the first place. here is the discussion here. you just mention a couple things that are good, that are valuable. medical expenses, what we are doing here are raising standard deduction and lowering tax rates. we are saying you do what you want with your money because it is your money instead of using deduction to get a tax rate based on this behavior. draper republican congressman drew ferguson a member of the vegan transformation infrastructure committee. nice to have you, congressman. >> that afternoon. hope you're doing well today. arthel: i'm doing well. the server to components of the house republican tax bill coming under fire by senate

republicans. limiting mortgage interest induction to the first $500,000 of debt, which applies only to new purchases versus the current threshold of $1 million the other is after all the calculations are done, small businesses will pay a 35% tax rate and big companies that file c. corp. would pay 25% tax rate. would you like to address that, sir? >> sure, let's start with a small business component and i will say from a small business owner, and i looked at the tax code and i think you will be a tremendous benefit to those hundreds of thousands of small mom-and-pop companies and small businesses around the nation. what the code does separate out wage income from business profit and it will also allow small businesses to expense equipment immediately and have some level of interest adaptability, both of which are incredibly valuable to the competitiveness of small

businesses and allow them to grow their business and hire more employees. we recognize some of those businesses are in fact more complex and instead of using the 70 thirtieths split that is talked about, there is also a long foreign debt accounts for those complexities. i think votes that those issues can be addressed. arthel: what about housing? >> housing is obviously a very important future in the american economy and funding we believe in and all americans believe in for the middle class. in the third district of georgia, i tell you mortgages under $500,000 represent the middle class of america and we certainly want to encourage growth in home ownership in doing $500,000 is a very sound policy. listen, the great benefit of all of this is we are going to grow our american economy. we are going to create more and more jobs, increase productivity and wage growth and i will tell

you, all americans want to see family is doing in being able to have careers they want because of an economy. arthel: meanwhile, mitch mcconnell saying don't get too up in arms over the house bill because the senate finance committee will write its own bill. do you know what works for that bill? is it a better tax plan and even if you haven't seen it, does this stance render the house bill ineffective? >> i would tell you this but the fact house and senate are working hard to make sure that the goals of the president are met and tax reform, which is real relief for the middle class in the business climate on the planet i think are very positive signs whether it is coming from the house or senate. so the fact that we are both working extremely hard to make sure that we get the best possible bailout there, i don't see that as a problem. i see that for the american people peered arthel: congressman ferguson, you serve on the committee. are you concerned that tax plan

will balloon the budget deficit by $125 trillion over 10 years? >> i am more concerned about mandatory spending than im with taxes. i think the tax bill actually gross revenues and grows the economy. listen, i experienced this at the local level. we created the right tax and regulatory environment and we saw business flocking to our community and revenues grow while we continue to lower taxes. we know the same thing can happen in many communities around the station as jobs come back to america. the number one issue we've got to do, we have to grow our economy above the 2.2% gdp growth in leasing from the last eight years and we see that happen now. every time we see growth in the gdp, that is trillions of dollars in economic activity and revenue. the real challenge we have in the real tough conversations on mandatory censuring. arthel: here's the real tough conversations, will there be a

tax plan on the president's thanksgiving table or under his christmas tree? >> i think we get it out of the house by things going and i feel confident the senate will give it to the president and he'll be able to sign up for the american people before the end of the year. arthel: very confident, congressman. thank you for joining us on this sunday. eric: we look forward to that. hollywood rocked yet again. more travel services for harvey weinstein. we will have the latest accusations next. four weeks without the car. okay, yep. good night. with accident forgiveness, your rates won't go up just because of an accident. switching to allstate is worth it.

your rates won't go up just because of an accident. but on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain.like most people. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief for moderate to even severe fibromyalgia pain. and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling, or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who've had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica. with less pain, i can do more with my family.

which he denies and more allegations against hollywood moguls may be on the way. >> a lot of medias are sort of break in through the next shoe to drop. they are bracing for their star to be outed. social media has obviously helped spread these accusations. >> this isn't just hollywood. we've also seen accusations rocked the journalism world as well. eric: date they wind and potentially could be arrested at thank you so much. arthel: mexico city's 10th annual zombie walk is making headlines for more than just a cool costume. the good cause these schools are dressing up for. that is next. to help maintain your skin's natural balance. for a free sample, call 1-877-get-tena.
