♪ ♪ >> the 78th army marching band is with us all morning long. we are celebrating veterans day. veterans weekend. that's one of our favorite holidays of the whole year and we have griff on the couch this morning. griff. pete: thanks for being here. >> griff for years i did the stories tell the stories airmen and marines. today is the day we say thank you and over these 17 years it's been the greatest job fox has ever given me. i have a better understanding why this day matters. if you have plans this morning, cancel them. you are not going to the home depot, you may have to go to a soccer game, if you can get around it, stay here, we have some good vets and army band out there.

pete: we want your pictures and thoughts, send them in @foxnews.com. everyone shares in this. i took a moment yesterday with my boys. you know what veterans day is. what is it about? do you know people that are veterans. abby: what do they know? pete: they know a little bit. they are young. as the patience we have to be intentional about passing civic duties on. abby: thossend in your photos as well a lot of news going on in the country and overseas. the president was in china for the past couple days and he just landed in hanoi, vietnam, after making a deal as we are now learning with vladimir putin to fight isis over in syria. pete: so much speculation about that meeting, the handshake. will they meet? will they not meet? it turns out they have a shared -- we have a shared foe in isis and president trump and vladimir putin had a conversation about how to take that on. also some speculation we are

just learning now that the president pushed and asked vladimir putin about russian meddling in the elections. and he denied it. vladimir putin denied it multiple times in questions for president trump. of course, the media breathless about asking for that. abby: griff, i will read this real quick. this comes in from our poll. they asked president trump about the meeting with want have a. he says, i guess putin said he did meddle, he said he didn't meddle. you can only ask some times. i just asked him again he said he absolutely did not meddle in the election. every time he sees me i didn't do that and i really believe when he tells me that but he says i didn't do that i think he is very insulted by it, which is not a good thing for our country. that is what the president just told our poll, they are oversees. griff: couple years ago i went to hanoi, museum, vietnam holds up as their we beat america. the symbolism of president trump on veterans day in

hanoi where that country has made so much progress, it's like going to new york city. it's beautiful, the restaurants are awesome. but that hotel, the hanoi hotel museum that we beat america is still there you bet, when he is meeting with our current foe and russia is a foe. make this mistake. this administration make no mistake it is going to be even more powerful. as we learn more about his conversations with putin. but also the president over there on this day paying tribute to those that fought in that far away place. >> leader going around the world on this 12-day trip to china, to every other country saying, listen, we're putting america first. it's a new day. a new dawn. and that is going to be heard nowhere is it going to be heard louder than in hanoi, vietnam. pete: of course. to meet with and talk to vietnam veterans on this veterans day very fitting to be there as well. you talk about the 12-day trip. abby: what day are we on

now, 8, 9? pete: sevennish. we will figure that out and bring it to you. he is on the back end of a long trip having come to china to vietnam, sebastian gorka new national security analyst here at fox news channel had some thoughts here on this trip and how effective it's been. this is what he had to say. >> yo you've seen this all before. every trip he has had, has knocked it out of the ball ball park. where it's that incredible speech he gave in warsaw about christian judy deo values our nation intilt on. whether it's going to the heart of the islamic world into rehainto riyadh about how y have to take responsibility for the extremists and terrorists in their communities or standing in the dmz to talk about the evil. every trip has been incredible. it's just not interesting to the mainstream media just as

the domestic achievements aren't interesting either, whether it's the lowest unemployment in 17 years. the 25% increase in the stock market. there is reality, and then there is what the mainstream media or the fake news industrial complex would not have you pay attention to. griff: by the way i believe we are on day nine. dr. gorka's comments are well-received. i would say to him it's far too early to tell the real test is whether or not china is going to come and what progress they are going to show after all the pomp and circumstance and that's an important part of it and china did it very well to roll out the red carpet for us whether or not they are going to do more to confront north korea, whether they are going to enforce the u.n. sanctions. pete: totally correct. the bar was very low after obama administration restoring american leadership in the world, reassuring our allies, checking china. he is doing things that american presidents should have been doing for the last eight years and

unfortunately haven't been. griff: bar is pretty low on tax reform, too. and we are about to cover that. abby: you are about to cover that. griff: i have covered it a lot. abby: bill coming from the house, bill coming from the senate. differences there. they are trying to combine the bill, i think, come monday. and hopefully get to some common ground. they are wanting to get this done. from what i hear, they want the president to be able to sign this by christmas. i don't know if that's going to be able to happen, griff. griff: what's happening right now the messaging you will see all week long the republicans have a bill being offered raises taxes on the middle class. the house is going to vote on their version next week and by thanksgiving the senate is going to mark theirs up. whether they come together, bottom line they are trying to do something that hasn't been done in three decades. pete: if you open your failing "new york times" this morning, it fails because it fails to tell you the truth and gives awe headline. senate plan could increase taxes on some middle class

workers. we should add an s to that. when, in reality, if you read the entire plan, here is the last portion. overall the senate bill would cut individual income taxes by about 30 billion in 2018 and by 900 billion over the next decade or according to congress' keep going nonpartisan joint committee on taxation and most people would see tax cut although cuts would be modest for most lower earners. pete: it does cut corporate taxes. the senate wants to phase it in. hidden bracket for high tax earners. some deductions are going and some are staying. for conservatives you want cuts and simplification. cuts, you want rates to go down in reaganesque way and you want to simplify code so people can't rig it the more washington gets its hands on

it, the worse it becomes. that's the bar by which we should judge it judge it poorly no matter what. because they want trump -- abby: i think it's important though for corning to be honest about it, too, right? for the american people. we saw this play out with obamacare. can you keep your doctor, prices are going to go down. that egg wasn't the reality. american people are incredibly upset and heart broken over that with tax reform lay out and be completely honest what they are going to be getting. griff: special interests and lobbyists have a big hand in this mark up so both bills, what have they done? we won't know the impact for days or weeks to come. let me say, this the failing "new york times" was honest on one thing. it projected gross domestic process by 3-8g% over the next decade. they at offering tax reform. do you want to go up 3% or stay where you are. that's the question that republicans should be making now. i don't want to do their job for them. abby: roy moore tells our

own sean hannity that the allegations against him are completely false. pete: this as a new report surfaces that one of his accusers worked for hillary clinton's presidential campaign. griff: ellison barber joins us live from washington with the details. ellison? >> good morning to you guys. roy moore is accused of making inappropriate sexual advances on four teenagers when he was in his 30's, including a 14-year-old girl. according to a report in the "the washington post" this happened over three decades ago. the age of consent in alabama in the late 70s and now is 16. the then 14-year-old says the senate hopeful kissed her and touched her over her bra and underpants. the other three accusers were between the ages of 16 and 18. as adults, they say the relationships were inappropriate. moore denies the allegations. >> the allegations are completely false and misleading. if you abuse a 14-year-old, you shouldn't be a senate candidate. i believe they are brought

only to stop a very successful campaign. >> one of the accusers said 17 when. some photos are surfaced online showing her interpreting during campaign events for then presidential candidate hillary clinton. local reports say the woman, deborah gibson, owns a sign language interpreting company that has offices in florida and alabama and provides services for businesses, politicians, governments and a whole lot of other things. a sign language interpreter is typically paid. they may not have anything to do with the business or politician they are signing for as far as we know. her work with the campaign was interpreting, not necessarily something related to political activity. oftentimes interpreter works much like a concert vendor who loves t-shirts. they may love the band playing or absolutely hate them. "the washington post" says none of the accusers donated to or worked for moore's campaign -- excuse me moore's democratic opponent or the people who challenged him during of the republican

primary. according to al.com gibson did not respond to requests for comments on whether or not her services were donated to the campaign but you guys all four of the women in the "the washington post" article used their names. the accounts are detailed in the reporters' interviews over 30 people for this story. last fox poll had moore and his democratic opponent tied in a dead heat. pete, abby, griff? abby: just a month away. ellison, thank you so much. see how that plays out. griff: coming up, bowe bergdahl is a free man, and now he could be a rich man after pleading guilty to desertion. our next guest searched for bergdahl and his military dog was killed in that search. he joins us next. pete: then, jack could be alive after all. the alternate ending -- you've got to see this. abby: what? pete: ultimate ending to titanic from rose herself. this will blow your mind ♪ opened the door

over $300,000 in back pay after five years spent in captivity an deserting post in afghanistan. abby: next guest took part in the search and his military dog died in that effort. mike, thank you for being with us this morning. >> thank you for having me. abby: i'm really sorry about the loss of your dog. tell us your story. >> the story is a tragic one, actually. i mean, we were deployed at the time when private bergdahl made the decision to walk off his post and we

got a call -- got notified that they had intelligence that they had an idea where his location was. we received that notification just after we had turned down going on another mission because of environment mental conditions. the decision was then quickly made to form a plan and get on the helicopters and go get him back. griff: can i ask you, mike. i think it's the case rimco is the dog's name. navy seals under heavy gunfire. those dogs are just like a member of the team. they are just like having a brother in arms out there. when you hear that bergdahl may get $300,000, what was your reaction when you first heard that? >> i was beyond disgusted. i was absolutely shocked that he was bold enough to ask for back pay after he

just got away with the most egregious crime that i can think of and came out of it basically scot-free. and the fact that he asked for compensation and back pay further solidifies to me the fact that he truly has no remorse for his actions. you know, i think it's a slap to the face for every person that was involved, a slap to the face to everybody that's wearing the uniform. and like i said, slide phis that he truly doesn't have any remorse for his actions. abby: you think about the six lives that were lost searching for bowe bergdahl and their families i'm sure are heart broken by all of this. what is your message this morning after all of this has happened? you now know the ruling. he will not serve time in prison. what is the message that you have to the military and to the american people? >> well, to the military, i would say keep your head up, you know. it's a sad day. because the fact that an army colonel was able to come to the conclusion that

he did not deserve any jail time, i'm sure everybody was offended by that and to the american people, you know, i would just say it's a tragedy, and that, you know, there is no excuse for him to be out free because i guarantee he is going to be out making a movie, making all kind of money exploiting this whole situation. so he doesn't even need this back pay because he is going to have offers to write a book. i guarantee it. griff: mike, i will tell you real quickly because we have got to go. how about if bowe bergdahl donated all $300,000 if he got it to a charity that supports military dogs would you support? >> i would support that but i still wouldn't take away from the way i feel about his actions. you know, it would be the honorable thing to do. but the most honorable thing to do would have been not allow the request for that money be put in. he had a choice to be able to say no, don't even ask for that money because i

don't deserve it and be grateful that he got the punishment that he did. and then walk away with it. but he didn't. he is that arrogant to ask for the money. abby: mike, thank you for being with us this morning. we are sorry for your loss. we appreciate that. >> thank you. abby: more "fox & friends" after this. ♪ at lincoln financial, we get there are some responsibilities of love you gotta do on your own.

are they delivering truly there on a promise of tax reform? >> well, it's a classic washington train wreck at this point. the house version is very different than the senate version. there's a lot to dislike about both of them. there are certain things to like about both of them. the stuff is apparently harder than it looks, it's hardered than we would think, apparently with all of the infighting and the rice balls to be protected in washington, d.c. are they getting it right? honestly, i'm souter of reserving judgment until they go to conference. they come up with one bill that they all agree on and then i'm going to feel free to be critical of it. in the meantime it's a work in progress. i am waiting for the final result before i become hysterical about the elements. pete: joe, to you on that, a lot of conservatives looking at this bill and saying there is a hig tax bracket for high earners. the cuts and simplification a lot of people wanted isn't

happening. joe, should conservatives get on board or be a wait and see. >> i think conservatives should get on board. let's point out there has been a lot of the misinformation about this bill. on one side have you chuck schumer and nancy pelosi saying this is tax cuts for the rich. on the other side you have the "wall street journal" saying it's actually increasing taxes on the rich. the truth is that it's easy to find reasons to vote against any bill. it's very easy to do that. the hard part is punt ting a tax plan that cuts taxes for the majority of middle class americans and increases our global competitiveness in terms of businesses. that's what -- hey, paul ryan is right. you heard it there earlier. this is what the republican party was elected to do and the real danger to them comes from them -- comes to them if they don't deliver on this. >> true, it was what the republican party was elected to do. if you just pass something that doesn't affect real outcomes, is it really effective? do you have concerns that a watered down bill won't have the impact you want? >> i'm a new yorker. i have concerns over state and local tax, sure.

i have concerns over at love things. people at every single income level will see a tax cut. and, of course, the corporate tax cuts will certainly increase productivity of our economy and hopefully lead to higher growth, higher than 3.5%. pete: which places like the failing "new york times" account for. i have to get your take. steve bannon who has been hyper critical of the establishment and i believe rightfully so, said this about the future of mitch mcconnell. i will put it up on our screen. he said it's not my personal mission but it is an objective that i, i have an objective that mitch mcconnell will not be majority leader and i believe will be done before this time next year. does it matter whether tax reform is passed or not? what is the future of mitch mcconnell? >> well, mitch mcconnell has been under fire for a long time to be way too wishy washy, too establishment and old school and not with the program of making the republican party the party of conservatives. mitch mcconnell is also

pretty good parliamentarian and good at manipulating the system as the rules exist. and will he not be here a year from now? i would -- i would somebody that steve bannon is up against it here if he is planning on taking on mitch mcconnell in the next year. pete: do you think he should go? that's the question. >> i think we could use more conservative. look, yeah, i think is he a fighter. we need a fighter. the republican party and conservatives need a fighter to lead the senate because there is a big fight going on over everything in washington. and mitch mcconnell tends to fight it from the shadows. he is a very soft-spoken. he is very quiet. he demuirs way too often. and president trump was elected because is he a brawler and fighter. republican voters are sick and tired of milk toast republicans being steam rolled at every turn. it happens to mitch mcconnell much too

regularly. pete: that's true. mitch mcconnell stay or go. >> i think he stays. let me start here, i don't blame anyone like steve bannon to try to hold republicans' feet to the fire. pete: we have to leave it there. more of this dewill continue. more "fox & friends." your sleep number setting. and snoring? does your bed do that? right now during our semi-annual sale, our queen c4 mattress with adjustable comfort on both sides is only $1499. save $300. plus 36 month financing. ends monday. visit sleepnumber.com for a store near you. whether it's connecting one of or bringing wifi to 65,000 fans. campuses. businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink.

we are all human beings, we are still fighting and want to bury the hatchet in each other's back and not take the hatchet out and embrace each other and get healed. the naacp i hope they realize it's more than a song and changing the song without changing the hearts of the people. we need a blood transfusion. you know, our hearts need to be transformed. my uncle, martin luther king jr. said we have to learn to live together as brothers and i add as sisters, the kids get it it's not about skin color who was a racist, who wasn't. the song was horrible, get rid of the song. we can change all of that we can burn our whole country down, please don't do it. and please honor our veterans. i have veterans in my family. active military right now. the little children are like what are you people fighting over? what's wrong with the song? and, of course, how can you explain to a kid don't sing that anymore in my presence. stop that right now. it's just oh, it's amazing.

griff: when you do that you divide us even further the naacp calling one of the most racist pro-slavery antiblack songs in the american lexicon of course referring to the third verse which in itself has historical questions which may have been referring to the british who were invaders in 1812. >> one of my songs happen to be lift every voices. jesus said we have to be like little children. we have to be like the little children just singing the song. what's wrong with you people. why are you fighting over this. we have to be like little children and love each other, want to embrace each other and how can we do that? somebody has to just say hey, stop. stop. cease-fire. we have got to call a cease-fire. we have to. abby: right, to your great point. you know, at a certain point we are going to be burning down the entire country. our hearts have got to come together. we are all in this fight together. that's such a great point. >> we are human beings. come together, come

together, please. abby: especially on veterans day no better time to hear that dr. alveda king thank you for being on this morning. griff: thank you for your family's service, too. >> thank you. abby: a fox news alert. a disturbing new threat, terrorists turning drones into killing machines. next guest hunts terrorists for a living. griff: many are starting #boycott the nfl. will you join them? pete: i already have. attention ladies and gentlemen, you are no longer allowed on the subway. that's ladies and gentlemen. all aboard the new pc train. wait until you hear this one ♪ don't you come back no nor ♪ what you say ♪ hit the road, jack ♪ and don't you come back no more, no more, no more. ♪ hit the road, jack ♪ and don't you come back no more ♪

♪ pete: welcome back. this is a fox news alert. the department of homeland security has issued an updated terror bulletin focusing on the threat of weaponized drones and the continuing target of aircraft. will. griff: author of drone warrior bret loco ver low velic. when i was first in iraq i watched that marine unit launch a drone that had a wooden propeller. today i went back in november to mostl mosul and i sw isis using drones for both surveillance and attacking what was iraqi special forces troops at the time. so you are the foremost person on this. how serious is this latest report? >> well, it's definitely serious threat for sure.

i mean, there has been uptick in terrorist interests using unmanned aerial systems in the united states and western countries. you have got to remember a rot these fighters and isis, they have been battle tested and they have learned some new found skills. yes we are disseminating them. a few of these folks are coming home and bringing new found skills to locations and potentially use these drones as weapons. i was just actually asked to be an expert witness at a department of justice trial where a isis sympathizer had threatened to kill a judge in florida with a drone. and essentially what they wanted to do is he wanted to take a drone, add explosives to it and fly to a top of a building where this judge is actually her office was. so this is a very dangerous threat. and quite frankly, i'm glad that the department of homeland security is getting ahead of it. pete: how often has this use been use on the battle field already and how do we prevent it from happening

here? >> right. in mosul when coalition forces were clearing through that, there was an averages of 80 consumer drone attacks per day. that was a very big concern to centcom especially when isis fighters were taken drones, scrapping mortars and homemade explosives to them and dropping them over coalition forces. very serious threat now. now, what the public may want to know and what is a really good thing in the tech world there is actually a race right now for counter drone sliewptions that are taken place. one of the largest manufacturers of drones in the world has created a system that uses -- that is able to remotely identify drones and determine where they're located. other companies -- have you seen everything from drone guns that can take them out of the air from other things that can actually identify if they are carrying a pay load. so we will see a lot of new technologies that are popping up to help counter this threat. pete: brett velicovich thank

states is actually in vietnam. >> that's right. this is annual tradition cleaning of the vietnam war memorial, a powerful thing. think about the fact that the vice president is there at the wall doing that our own president is in hanoi in vietnam. it almost feels like a rec cobbing and recognition long overdue for vietnam veterans for so long were not honored the way that they should. this administration focusing on them today. griff: as we honor you. you are a veteran. as vice president pence is cleaning that wall is he thinking about his son. thinking about your brother, abby. he is thinking about you, pete. because you learn and as i said in the last hour, i will say it again, i'm so excited to be here on veterans day because i did this show war stories with colonel oliver north and i learned so much what it means about service, sacrifice, dedication. and that's what vice president pence is honoring those who paid that ultimate sacrifice. the vietnam wall. i run a lot. ran marine corps marathon for a charity. sometimes because i would go

by the wall, there is always someone there having a moment. and that is the best of what america has to offer. that's why today we say thank you. we say thank you, pete. say thank you to your brother and to every name on that wall every single day. pete: all of you out there today. abby: here is a photo of my two brothers and my dad. my dad also served. people don't get recognition for their service overseas whether it's in an embassy or whatever they are doing, but there are so many people that serve this country in different ways. and you are so right, griff, when you have a connection, when you actually try to put yourself in someone else's shoes or love someone who is out serving or knowing someone like pete and the sacrifice they make, it gives you a whole new perspective of what our military is about. how proud they are to serve this country. something i always say is they never ask, like my brothers, they never ask which president they are serving. they never ask what political party they are serving. they step up and they serve. and they are so proud to do it. pete: absolutely. on this day, we honor all of you, some veterans and military families who serve alongside those veterans.

iraq and many war zones on numerous occasions. i can tell you not once can i recall them talking about politics. i remember them looking at the left and right men and women they were deployed with in very dangerous situations stepping up to the plate. and, you know, what we're seeing with vice president pence on that wall translates when you teach the younger generation what it means to serve and why listening to their stories matters and may affect the arc of their lives. pete: one correction we did talk about politics overseas. it was using politicians as curse words. you don't care about politics. you are totally right. it doesn't matter when you are in a ditch with another guy trying to fight for your country. abby: great point. as you saw the vice president at the vietnam memorial at the same time president trump just recently landed in hanoi, vietnam, after making what we have now heard a deal with russian president vladimir putin to fight isis in syria. there is some footage there

he's going to not listen to them because is he going to engage them in some form or fashion. griff: you don't want the media dictating. i love the photo of trump and putin because is he 6 inches taller than him. abby: which he loves. griff: i'm sure putin hates. abby: at least they had their shirts on. vladimir putin, that's always a good thing. pete: vladimir putin you are not quite sure. abby: also in the news today, on facebook, there is a page that is urging football fans to boycott the nfl today of all days. they are saying it's veterans day. this is time where we all should be standing for the national anthem. pete: 200,000 people. there is a lot of people. pete: look at the ratings. tomorrow is nfl sunday. most of us you, usually a weekly holiday for nfl fans. viewership has been down. attendance has been down because players decided to kneel and roger goodell and the nfl did a terrible job dealing with it. never mix protest with our nation and the flag.

you to reflect, we have been celebrating veterans day all day long and we are going to continue in until though show is over, what are your thoughts on veterans day today? >> americans are proud of our veterans 21 million american of them. but on this day, in particular, it's the day to set aside politics and to really express our gratitude and thank our veterans for their sacrifice for what they have done for this country. it's a very special day. we have been doing it for 98 years as americans. 54 years ago we changed the name to veterans day but this is a great day for america. pete: absolutely. on veterans day, of course, a lot of people gravitate their minds to the v.a. and how veterans are being served by our country. so far a bill signed by the president brought new accountability to the v.a. and new questions now about choice, mr. secretary, you know this issue intimately. there is a new house bill being debated that was recently pulled from mark up. some feel like it doesn't fulfill completely the president's promise of true

choice. the president promised on the campaign trail if you want to see a v.a. doctor you can. or you can go see a private provider is the choice of the veteran. what is your view of any bill coming out of house and senate? should it truly give the choice to the veteran as the president promised? >> one of the things, pete, that is working well in washington is a bipartisan approach to fixing the v.a. and it has taken us decades to essentially have all of these problems in the v.a. that we're now dealing with and it's not going to be fixed overnight. i've been clear about that. but we are committed to giving veterans more choice in their decisions. they deserve the very best. and so we're looking for a bill that builds choice into a permanent part of the way that we take care of veterans and veterans have services in this country. and we're going to continue to fight for that. the president is committed to that and i'm committed to that. i think our leaders in congress want to see that happen as well. griff: mr. secretary, you talk about more choice and bipartisan. but the billing that came out ultimately still gives

the decision to the bureaucrat or the doctor as opposed to the veteran. are you committed to giving that choice to the veteran? >> we are definitely committed to a system that gives choice to veterans. what we're trying to do right now is to build a system that's based on the clinical needs of veterans. that's the way every health system in the country works and our veterans deserve no less. right now we have administrative rules that veterans have to fit into. and we're committed to taking the administrative complexity out of the system and giving it back to veterans and to providers just the way that when you and i go to a doctor, we get our care. griff: real quickly, mr. secretary because we are almost out of time. there was a time outraged over the times. what is the wait time for these veterans? >> we are making good progress. we are not there we still have a ways to go. every day we are getting stronger. we publish our wait times. we have same day services in every one of our v.a.

homecoming. beautiful. griff: one of our producers sent in this photo of grandpa bob navy veteran in japan. the song they play be maying anchors away that they came in with. abby: very fitting. sent this image of him and his wife carolyn who got married in his uniform. carolyn served in the navy and ron served in the army during the vietnam war. griff: that's fantastic. veterans, the military families we forget, too, the spouses, the children, the brothers and sisters. as you know, brother over there, the whole family serves. we honor them. abby: that is a great point. keep sending your photos at friends@foxnews.com. keep remembering our veterans all morning long. pete, on that note hand it over to you. on veterans day we honor those who have served new op-ed on foxnews.com. current army officer talks about how this country treats our vets. officer jeremy hunt writes

the norm we normalize disrespect to the national anthem, applaud protests and how democratic ideals are somehow inherently flawed the easier it will be to disrespect the people who are sworn to protect those ideals. we have great a great and fantastic panel here to discuss that and many other things on this veterans day. clearly i have rigged the 178 because we have five soldiers here. two marines and one navy seal. sorry air force. just thought represented today. we will get to you tomorrow. but we love you on this veterans day as well. as well as the coast guard. thank you for being here this morning you heard that op-ed. in some ways what happened to vietnam veterans is what this particular officer is talking about. joey, if you would, do you feel like we are moving in a direction where disrespect could be normalized? >> i think we see it every day. sometimes we need to hit the pause button and think about these are human beings that are represented by the flag, the national anthem. it's not some idea of oppression. i tweeted out against what collin kaepernick was saying when he first took a knee.

not because i'm against taking a knee which is kind of inherent but because of the words he put behind and it the message he was putting out there, that if you do support this flag or you do stand up withing pride for this anthem you are supporting or partaking in something he equated to unjust. pete: u.s. marine corps bomb technician, obviously gave so much for this country. appreciate you being here this morning as well. cathy, i want to go to you on that as a veteran of the army of 10 years as well. do you feel like it distracted from the actual protest by making it about the anthem. >> most definitely. you know what? there are few privileges than the privilege of being an american. america is not perfect. but, it's not perfect because we are not perfect. yet, she remains a consummate light on a hill for nations who look for direction honor and dignity. i am so grateful and amazed that i had a role to play in holding up that light.

encouraging disrespect, apathy, disdain for our nation only obliterates our future. our little future are become the future leaders of our country. and how can we expect them to pick up the mantel to risk life and limb if we encourage them to hate this nation? pete: great point. sean, former army ranger with us this morning. those future, how do we make sure we are not epically divided and instead unite around the things that unite us. >> operatism predisposes politics. that means telling stories to our children of great sacrifice every generation has made on behalf of this country. only .4% of veterans have served this country during the longest period of war in our nation's history. so the people that enjoy freedom in this country have never been farther away than the warrior was that protect it in order to bridge that gap, we have got to get out there, especially on days

like veterans day. get out there and tell our story. make sure people understand what it means to protect and defend freedom so that we can then pass that legacy on to our children so that they, too, understand the sacrifice. i would just add the greatest national security threat to this nation, pete, is veterans admitting that they cry at the end of titanic. what are you thinking? it emboldens our enemy. what's going on here? pete: i have cried at the end of titanic. don't ruin my reputation more than it's already been ruined. thank you very much, sean. darren, besides crying at the end of titanic, u.s. army veteran, former nypd officer. how do we explain to our kids, how do we pass on this legacy of what it means to be an american? >> well, it's interesting, i came on active duty in 1986. and in 1986, a lot of my ncos were people that fought in the vietnam war. so oftentimes we had these discourses about how the public treated them when they came back from vietnam. and it was a very sorrowful time in terms of what happened.

so, when we move forward in terms of how does the public accept us as military members, i think it's getting better. we have small pockets, primarily in the democrats that look down it on the service performed as military members, but the overwhelming majority of americans accept us as the greatness that we provide in this country. i think everyone sitting on this panel, including yourself, pete. pete: i appreciate that katie, i want to go to you. marine corps veteran yourself. the president is overseas. he spent a lot of time talking to troops. what does it mean to someone deployed overseas or even veterans here at home to see their president engaging with the troops the way that he does? >> i think it means a lot. i think there is often a disconnect between what we call headquarters and the field so the people who are making the decisions, people actually carrying them out. so it's important for the people who are making the decisions and having those conversations to come down and visit with the troops. i would say that i think, you know, at the individual level, patriotism and support for the military is strong.

i think something that the american people can do is call for accountability from our politicians. you know, asking the questions like why are we in the conflicts that we are in what is the end state here? afghanistan is a great example. we have been there 16 years. how many people have we had in charge of that? and there is still no resolution. we are governo basically at a stalemate. call for accountability have the discussion and ask the right questions. pete: speaking of accountability. i'm going to ask for forgiveness. a linebacker, navy seal and one minute to go in this segment because tv is terrible. a brief moment, a reflect on veterans day today, karl carl. >> got in '86 i was born in '83. a big thing here is a alaska service in our society today. the agency i represent which is americorps, senior corps is help people serve their country at national service.gov. it gives people a sense of purpose. show respect to the people that we need to address most. pete: caleb you were

linebacker and army lieutenant, linebacker with the chivas. will the boycott this weekend be effective? >> i think it will be effective. people are tired of what they're seeing. i would be the first to say that i actually agreed with the protest in the beginning. i totally understood it and agreed with it and willing to listen. which a lot of people weren't willing to do. it's now rendering ineffective. time to move on and if you are going to continue to protest. let's shift fire and do it in another capacity. pete: jason, final thoughts on this vets day? >> final thoughts. we want to welcome home vietnam vets. they need to take proper place in the pant i don't mean of our heroes. that pride starts with leadership. telling the stories and being grateful that we are part of the greatest nation nut history of the world. god bless america u. pete: god bless you guys. we will get to you when we come back in the 9:00 hour. >> we would hold you accountable. >> the viewers always do. pete: thank you very much. we will be back with you guys on this veterans day. the firm behind out dirty

dossier. the judge presiding over the case replaced. he is here to react next.

when you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the unpredictability of a flare may weigh on your mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go, and how to work around your uc. that's how i thought it had to be. but then i talked to my doctor about humira,

and learned humira can help get and keep uc under control... when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations and ask your gastroenterologist if humira may be right for you. with humira, control is possible.

abby: a new twist into the investigation behind that fake dossier fusion gps. the judge appointed in the investigation has been removed. griff: case now reassigned another judge has many wondering why. here to weigh in is circa news investigator sarah carter. new developments. what have we got? >> i think this is very interesting. it may, in a sense, show that the system is actually working because the judge recused himself. that leads me to believe that there was probably some kind of conflict of interest. remember, the house intelligence committee had requested more documentation, and that's about the battle that they are in now with fusion gps. they want to know if fusion gps paid reporters or others

to kind of spread this false news about the dossier and other issues such as the imagine miss skmass anyone ski . this russian lawyer lobbying against the imagine anyone act. sued by the justice department because their involvement with the death they blew of sergei killed. this is the reason for this legislation. when he uncovered all kinds of double dealing and money laundering within the russian government. i think we are seeing slowly as this onion as i said before, is being pealed back there is more and more information. abby: new report in the "new york times" john podesta met. after the post election dossier by a former british spy which included some

salacious claims john podesta met with simpson founder compare notes on russia's involvement, that's according to an associate of mr. podesta. as you said, another layer of that onion coming down. >> oh, yeah, absolutely. i mean, this is how glen simpson operated. he was trying and allegedly pushing this dossier out there. you know, they were trying to spread the news there were reporters all over washington that knew about this dossier. and then eventually buzz feed published the entire unsubstantiated salacious dossier. so this is what we're seeing. and i don't believe it was just podesta. glen simpson approached other leaders within the democratic party and we know that they wanted to push this out and they eventually did. griff: a lot of questions still to be answered, sarah as you pointed out. even journalists may have been paid in this whole thing. sara carter with circa news, thank you so much. abby: thank you, sara. >> thank you. griff: still ahead, talk about a political odd can couple what mark cuban just revealed about his

relationship with steve bannon. abby: lone survivor marcus luttrell honor as world war ii veteran by helping him rebuild his home after hurricane harvey. our own janice dean was there to witness it all. she is here within amazing story yet. >> after everything have you been through, we're not going to let did you go out like that. >> after everything they have done for me, i really, really appreciate it. thank you. so much. november is epilepsy awareness month.

descriptions about hurricanes and war zones and how they are very similar when a disaster strikes. so during my trip to texas i heard from people who experienced both especially this wonderful veteran named bill fly. take a look. >> on monday, i will be 100 years old. janice: lieutenant bill fly has lived his whole life in texas. he's experienced a lot of hardship in his 99 years. but has never experienced a storm like hurricane harvey this past august. after it destroyed his home from fly thought he lost everything. that's when melanie and marcus luttrell found out his story and decided they would rally their texas community to help mr. fly out. >> came back here and set up shop with his wife and lost her and then harvey came in and took everything else away from him. >> after everything he has been through, we are not going to let you go out like that. >> he was such a humble man and so sweet and kind. >> when melanie looked at me

and said that mr. fly, he wants to spend his 100th birthday in his home, that's what did it. >> we launched a campaign the next day online and raised almost $90,000 in just a couple days. got in touch with cotton and they were kind enough to take this project over. janice: tell us about your service on this veterans day. >> i served and then i was discharged and i went back to my regular business. and i really didn't pay a whole lot of attention to the fact that i was a veteran in world war ii. a lot of years passed and then suddenly i guess world war ii veterans got kind of scarce. and i was outliving some of them. so they paid more attention to me. >> the greatest strategy of

war is to forget your veterans. and today 99 years old, world war ii veteran to bring the attention back to our veterans that served and did what mr. fly did is amazing. >> i almost been killed i don't know how many times and y'all kept coming to get me. even during harvey i keep joking you still have to rescue me. >> just because i retired from the combat life doesn't mean i can't stand up and fight especially when we get hit like this. i'm just pulling my weight. that's what you do around here is earn your place, you know, among our people. [applause] >> mark and i have done a lot of things over the years our own special ops stuff. it's not about the notoriety and taking care of people who served this country and we appreciate it. >> your pool table has been restored. it's the same pool table. >> walking through here and seeing everything and when you see the goodness and our people and what we are capable of.

i bet you had leaves 220 more years. something to live there walk around this house and check everything out and see and hear every little piece that went into it and every person that stops by to tell him thank you for your service. this is the least we could do. >> did you ever think you would live to be 100 years old? >> no. i don't think i ever wanted to be 100 years old. and now i'm kind of glad i am. i just hope in their remaining days of their lives that they are going to be as happy and content as i am and going to be in my house because of what they have done for me. i really, really appreciate it. thank you. so much. abby: you never leave a brother behind. even after you serve. janice: absolutely. abby: that is amazing. janice: thank you to mr. fly and his whole family and marcus and his beautiful

wife melanie for doing. this they are true patriots. americans and today we remember them and we remember mr. fly and he's going to spend his 100th birthday in his house thanks to them. janice: i love these stories. and i love doing them. thank you. abby: thank you, janice. what's that, broheim? i switched to geico and got more. more savings on car insurance? yeah bro-fessor, and more. like renters insurance. more ways to save. nice, bro-tato chip. that's not all, bro-tein shake. geico has motorcycle and rv insurance, too.

reassert america's strategic interests in this part of asia. >> this is an annual tradition cleaning of the vietnam war memorial. the vice president is there at the wall doing that. our own president is in hanoi. it almost feels like a reckoning and a recognition long overdue for vietnam veterans. this administration focusing on them today. ♪ not ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ abby: it is a frazeeing morning here in new york city. but the 78th army marching band, they continue to just power through and we are so honored to have them here playing on veterans day. probably one of our favorite

the 119 hour, the 11th day, the 11th month. 1954 ivins hour changed it to veterans day to thank, everybody, to thank pete, to thank our hundreds of thousands of viewers out there that have served and as i have been saying all morning, the greatest honor i ever had here at fox news was telling the stories of soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines in the fight and here today. abby: that's exactly what the president has been doing overseas on 1-day trip is thanking so many of our troops serving in that part of the world. that is what we want to go to now is a fox news alert. overnight he did land in a ha know, vietnam, after what we can now report he made a deal with vladimir putin to fight isis in syria. pete: so much speculation this trip from hawaii to japan to south korea to china and now in vietnam is anchored in north korean policy and how to stop that regime and also china, obviously, but so much of it as you said, abby, has been reinforcing america's role in the world and our relationship with our

adversaries with quhin but also russia. speculation about this meeting. apparently they did have a brief meeting and a handshake. abby: a lot of headlines from that handshake many you can predict. pete: pretty predictable headlines about collusion and all that nonsense. turns out there is a lot we can work together on including isis. looks like they struck some sort of a deal. pete: the president is in hanoi. love for them to take them over to hanoi hilton where john mccain was held prisoner. today it is a museum. they honor their victory over america that we were defeated and they have john mccain's flight suit in there still propaganda. very modern, western country now. i'm sure the president is going to make some headway on trade deals. with you i tell you what, i would love to hear what he says when he walks in there. abby: a powerful moment. it's probably healthy for him to get out of swamp. when he goes on these trips overseas when he was over in the middle east for first one in saudi arabia and israel and elsewhere and now this time in able sharks

such an important part of the world for the united states. sebastian gorka, former deputy assistant to the president and now is here with fox news. he said this about when the president is away on these foreign trips. >> you ar you've seen this all before. every trip he's had has knocked it out of the ball park. whether it's that incredible speech he gave in warsaw about the judeo-christian values that our western civilization, america is built upon. whether it was going to the heart of the islamic world into riyadh and really talking tough love to all those arab leaders about how they have to take responsibility for the extremists and the terrorists in their communities. or whether it's standing just miles from the dmz and talking about the evil that is the north korean regime. every trip is incredible. it's just not interesting to the mfmed just as the domestic achievements aren't interesting either. whether it's the lowest unemployment in 17 years.

the 25% increase in the stock market. there's reality and then there is what the mainstream media or the fake news industrial complex would not have you pay attention to. pete: the other aspect of this trip that is so central to the president's successes so much about trade. trade was a big reason why he got elected. trade imbalances. he is saying listen, i'm putting america first just like you put your country first. we will rebalance this trade relationship that is slanted against the united states. he has been on that message the entire trip. abby: they made deals. $250 billion. griff: to buy american products to. buy auto parts. to buy beef. to buy natural gas here and that's a good point, pete. because one of the things that i have not seen in the reporting and i have reported a lot on this trip in the last week is to a certain extent this president and this administration is seizing an opportunity. we have not had in many years to realign our trade relationships with the part of the country, the world that is literally growing as

astro noastronomical. abby: you think about $250 billion that's greater than the g.d.p. of pakistan. pete: how do you know the g.d.p. of pakistan? abby: i heard a reporter talking about that yesterday. you think that would be more of the headlines. griff: speaking of g.d.p. pete: g.d.p. and headlines if you open up your failing "new york times" which i have the unfortunate of doing every morning. a eye 14 the print edition the senate plan for tax reform could increase taxes on some middle class workers. will, as we always do we ran a little deeper into this article as well. and we have mitt tear on this program throughout about the merits of the house and senate tax bill. but at the end of the article it acknowledges this in the "new york times." it says overall the senate bill would cut individual income taxes by about 30 billion in 2018. and by 900 billion over the next decade u according to congress' non-parted san joint committee on taxation. most people in all income groups would see a tax cut. although the cuts would be

modest for most lower earners. i hear a lot about cuts there and not -- abby: that was the very end of that article and how often you just read the headline or the very first few lines of the article. i think overall, the american people want tax reform. they want it simplified. they want tax cuts. but now it's a bit confusing as to what they are actually going to get because there are so many different headlines. we are hearing different things from senate leaders saying everyone's taxes will be cut. people are wondering what is the real story here? what are we getting? griff: going to hear how michigan mcconnell is finally coming clean they are going to raise taxes. both the house and the senate bill. remember, it's important to note that they have to bring these together. but, speaking generally across both of them it drops, lowers taxes across every income level. now, mitch mcconnell confessed in some cases, depending on your household scenario increase in every, you know, final numbers because of the deductions being removed. at the end of the day, it's been 31 years since either

party made any headway on tax reform. pete: true. griff: when you talk about pakistan's g.d.p. let's talk about america's g.d.p. with regularegulatory reform in this country and president trump so far gotten it to 3% increase. even the "new york times" says it projects the senate bill would increase g.d.p. by 3.7% over out next decade. and, raise wages by 2.9% across the economy. i. >> i will take additional 3.7% on my g.d.p. >> let's put up the chart. break it down for families to see how this might impact you. it breaks it down under the brackets. 30,000, $180. it goes up to 75,000 to 100,000. 1277. and if you are more than 500,000 it's 28,000. >> go back to deceptive headline. may save taxes. i will tell you, this griff, for conservatives, grassroots conservatives who have been waiting for the opportunity for republicans to deliver on true conservative solutions, there still is frustration. you could cut -- you could

shift on trump. they say quote sweeping conclusions about the frailties of trump and resurgence of the democratic party are premature. the instinct to confirm "presuppose trend is dangerous and this week's elections did not make conclusive evidence. does that say it all right there? >> did does. and good for the columbia journalism review because this is a warning i think liberals might want to take this warning. local races, even statewide race is never something that you can extrapolate to the rest of the country, right? we know states have -- those races are local. effectively. and when you are looking at local races, it's very different than with the national races. just the fact of the matter that you can't -- this would be like getting euphoric over a race in california and trying to extrapolate that to the entire country. virginia has been blue. it's bluer now. at the same time, the red districts there got redder. it got just more intense with what it was. this is a good warning

because the problem isn't what they note in this. and i think what we also know and we saw last year is that the media sees what it wants to see. pete: sure. >> this is like a confirmation bias that there is an expectation you see something. you want to see it and that's how you are going to interpret things. this is what the issue is. with reporters, we normally expect them to be investigators or even scientists in a way. you look at something and then you analyze it. those days are gone. but the problem is presents for democrats is that it leads them further into a fantasy world about what their issues are. this is hillary's problem. in presuming that everything was fine because everyone was telling her it was, and so they stopped looking and stopped planning correctly. pete: you talk about the lesson for democrats. >> yes. pete: what is the lesson for republicans then as they run? >> so there is. it's not like just because you can't extrapolate doesn't mean there aren't lessons there are for democrats and republicans. look, they lost this race and they lost mr. northam received the votes of married white women. millennials, and college

educated women as well. by huge double digit margins. so the question has to be those individuals came out where you would think normally would have been the hillary coalition, but more than that, is that the -- a lot of the trump supporters did not go out. so, it's a matter of what's creating an enthusiasm, which i also found surprising in virginia and is that going to be dealt with? they are going to try to recreate that the republicans though need to look and say because, look, we all want a government that represents all of us. pete: um-huh. >> those are groups we also learned they like trump's policies but they may not like him. and that has to be addressed as well. abby: they need to bring more diversity into that party. >> that is correct. abby: good to have you here. >> thank you. abby: thank you for your always rational perspective. >> i appreciate it. abby: remember those pink hats to protest the president? now they are teaching the next generation how they can resist. pete: good resistance class. one vet so fed up with the

trip. he was very strong in terms of north korea and the need for mutual defense and nuclear deter answer and to deny north korea the further evolution of the wicked nuclear program and also very strong on trade and i totally enjoy it. i don't know how most folks relate to it but i totally enjoy his personal relationships and the effort he makes to be with the president, to be with the prime minister, to have this one-to-one relationship because i really do think that accidents don't happen when you have communication, when you have familiarity and i totally enjoyed it. i think i believe that even the new york times gave him kudos to this particular trip. strength in terms of national defense and international deter answer and the need to work together to deny north korea and also syria because that was the one good thing about the putin meeting, the declaration of mutual support to defeat isis finally, so i think that when you look at what this president

accomplished it is impossible to criticize it. he stayed on script. he was disciplined, and he was inclusive and yet strong in terms of trade. i don't agree with his trade policies but i must say that he was strong and he made the case in a very articulate and professional way. >> pete: but you were just saying we played in just the last hour the president there with the president of vietnam, speaking at a state dinner in that remark he said something we were listening in a little bit. he said no place like hanoi have we seen the progress modernization and it really speaks to the president's trying to open up opportunities with trade in that part of the country that we've never had. is it your take then geraldo that really we're on the front end of president trump and a bipartisan way possibly opening trade doors to benefit all americans? >> geraldo: first of all as a person of a certain age, when i see the president of the united states going to vietnam, i still can't get my head wrapped around how far we have come.

>> pete: i feel like a president going to baghdad in a prosperous place as an iraq war veteran. same thing amazing to see. >> gore ailed o. it is. it's quite extraordinary to see and he's right when he talks aunt the miracle of vietnam's renaissance in that we had a horrible experience in the vietnam war 55,000 dead, vietnam off millions and to see them heal this country and then become a responsible partner in the international community is quite extraordinary and also, the way it appeared to be off the cuff to me the president was praising the president of vietnam for all the success of his nation. in terms of the trade talks i just think that we have to have a modern approach and we do have to renegotiate a lot of these deals were bad deals and trump the businessman is this is the guy that really got elected. the populous stuff was important for him to get the nomination. the election though i think you know the concept of the protecting the american worker and fairness in essential trade deals and globalism may not work for the american worker.

all of those, you know, that philosophy we articulated it an eloquent and effective way and this was trump the businessman. >> pete: you got trump the businessman back at home now and the legacy in the first couple years will hinge with obamacare not going the way he wanted on tax reform the house will vote on this bill soon the senate released there's. the new york times says it's going to raise taxes, conservatives have similar critiques saying there's loopholes we don't like. are they going to get it right and is it a good tax reform bill for the americans? >> geraldo: i'm very pisa mystic. i think that what you have here essentially and this is the way i believe most americans see it. you have given some slight tax relief to the middle class but what you really did was give a tax break to corporations. their rate goes down really why a third almost. >> pete: it's very important.

>> geraldo: be that as it may when you talk about how voters are going to react, every friend i have who lives in new york or california says that this is absolute robbery that they are by eliminating the deduction you get for state and local tax from your federal tax, that makes the taxes you pay in this very very expensive city that much more difficult. >> griff: hang on though but in the high tax states like new jersey, new york, california and that's what people are talking about because under the senate bill particularly, it does nothing. totally eliminates the federal deduction for state and local taxes but and i'm talking too fast here but the point is people are looking at is what about the fact that this cuts taxes for every income level in the country, even the new york times saying that it's going to provide upwards of $900 billion in savings over the next decade and yet you got leaders in the democratic party like nancy pelosi that said well, we should do daca before we even address

that here. take a listen to what minority leader nancy pelosi had to say. >> nancy: i fully intend that we will not leave here without the daca fix and i've made that very clear. i think president trump does respect the fact that the dream ers have the support of over 80% of the american people and that's why he would be interested getting something done. >> geraldo: i want to tell you very briefly i was at a dinner across the street in del friscoe 's. all republican, successful men and women in their 40s, they tell me their tax bill is going up 40% because they aren't able to deduct the new york state or new jersey state and new york city taxes from the federal bill they are going to oppose and are opposed to tax reform and they are republican, so that's why i think the bill is going to fail. in terms of daca, i have let the

president know from the bottom of my heart, i love him. i want him to succeed. if these dreamers are deported then i have to deport from my support of the president. this is my-- >> pete: dreamers before tax cuts for americans. >> geraldo: this is my red line >> pete: it may be a red line but is it the priority for democrats? we got to do daca before we deliver healthcare. >> geraldo: that to me is legislative maneuvering and i don't know what comes first or how you arrange it. that's not my expertise. i'm saying these are 800,000 of the most vetted deserving immigrants we've ever had in this country and we know exactly where they came from and we know who their parents are, we know why they got here, when they got here, we know what they're doing now, many of them served in the armed forces. this is the kind of thing that to deport these dreamers would be an act of spite and i really do believe that the president gets that. >> abby: but how much of this though is just politics for democrats saying we are willing to shut the government down for

daca because they have said many aren't even willing to come to the table to have a conversation on tax reform. you ask republicans and democrat s alike everyone would like a nice tax cut right? so how does this help democrats longer term if they say we're not even willing to have conversations or willing to negotiate? >> pete: they won't come to the point or come to the table on a wall or ending chain migration and some things that are legitimate policy issues that could be traded for concessions on daca. >> geraldo: i think the problem is with the dreamers particularly is that the democrats have the republicans by the cahonis, if you get my drift here. nobody would really like to see ice going door-to-door to round up someone whose a junior at stanford and say kid you've got to go because you came here at two years old your parents brought you here illegally and now you have to be deported. that optic will help fuel a route of the republicans in the midterms. on the other hand, if president trump saying i'm not negotiating

, this is i want you to pass this dream act. do this for me and we'll work together on the other stuff. he takes the nobel position. he's the big guy. he does the compassionate thing and i believe that that works for president trump and ultimate ly for the republicans. i remember george w. bush and george h. w. bush. i'm telling you there never would have been this crisis with the dreamers if the bushes were still in charge of the republican party. >> griff: you and i have been in the same war zones and now one of the stories bowe bergdahl going to get $300,000 in backpay what do you think? >> geraldo: i told the major that i defer to people who have served and particularly those who were on those rescue mission s to get him out and got hurt or were killed trying to rescue bowe bergdahl who was a desserter. i amgen rally speaking in favor of mercy so i really, i am not i

don't find disagreeable that he does no jail time. he did after all as five years as a prisoner of war. getting backpay is something i can seriously doubt could possibly happen and the commander of a u.s. command general abrams looks at this when he reviews it and says listen this guy is the most lucky man on earth not going to the brig, not going to serve life as a trader. he's tired, dishonorably discharged. >> griff: how about donating all the money? >> geraldo: he's not going to do that. >> abby: geraldo always good to see you. >> geraldo: one more day. >> griff: coming up democrats surprise slamming the senate republicans tax plan, but do they even know what did it? senator tim scott does. he's here to set the record straight that's coming up. >> pete: plus our panel of veterans is back and weighing in on the president's overseas trip and how his presence there is

helping our service members, they're chatting and i wonder what they're talking about. >> abby: it's a packed green room. >> griff: they're talking about geraldo. ♪ every day america, a great big life h ♪ and if i'd been caring for tom's dad, i would have noticed some dizziness that could lead to balance issues. that's because i'm trained to report any changes in behavior, no matter how small, so tom could have peace of mind. we'll be right there. we have to go. hey, tom. you should try right at home. they're great for us. the right care. right at home. grandma's.

>> pete: alabama senate candidate roy moore tells our own shawn hannity the sexual misconduct allegation against him are completely false. >> abby: this as a new report says one of his accusers has ties with a presidential campaign. >> griff: ellison barber joins us live with the details. >> ellison: two republican senators mike lee of utah and steve danes of montana say they no longer support moore's senate campaign and a number of democrats say he needs to dropout of the race immediately. moore is flatly denying allegations that he made inappropriate sexual advances on four teenage girls when he was in his 30s.

>> these allegations are completely false and misleading. if you abuse a 14 year old, you shouldn't be a senate candidate. i believe they're brought only to stop a very successful campaign. >> ellison: four women went on the record with the washington post to say more pursued relationships with them in the late 70s and early 80s the post interviewed over 30 people for their story, one accuser said she was 14 years old when moore then a 32 year old assistant district attorney kissed her, touched her and moved her hand over his underpants. the age of consent in alabama in the late 70s and still today is 16. photos surfaced online showing one of moore's accusers acting as a sign language interpreter during a campaign event for hillary clinton. deborah gibson says she was 17 where moore pursued her. local reports say gibson owns a sign language interpreting company. according to al.com, gibson did not respond to requests for a comment about whether or not she was paid by the clinton camp or

if she donated her services for that particular event, but paid or not a sign language interpreter might not have anything to do with an event beyond interpreting for it much like a vendor saying glow sticks at a concert they could sell glow sticks at many shows whether they love the band playing or hate their music it may just be about the glow stick s. the washington post says none of the accusers donated to or worked for moore's democratic opponent or any of those republicans who challenged him during the primary. >> griff: ellison thank you. >> abby: the 14 year old actually voted for president trump. she's now in her 50s but a tough story. >> pete: former president obama has a reason to smile he's making hundreds of thousands of dollars from your taxpayer dollars. but that could change soon, we'll explain coming up. >> abby: plus what is in the senate republicans new tax plan and how does it affect the middle class? senator tim scott here to set the record straight. we will get to it next. ♪ let's get it started here,

>> abby: welcome back to fox & friends. back with quick headlines a church welcoming parishners to bring their guns to sunday worship in light of last weekend 's massacre in texas. the lighthouse mexico church of god in oswego, new york posting a message that says "we say it again, we are not a gun-free zone." and next week, the u.s. house planning to vote on capping perk s for ex-presidents. the former president's about would limit their pension to $200,000, just $5,000 less than the current pension. the bill also cuts back on staff pay, and expense limits. griff, pete?

>> griff: thank you, democrats quick to slam senate republicans in their newly unveiled tax plan >> 38 million households, middle class households are facing a republican tax cut, so while they say that this is for the middle class, it is not. >> this bill is lose-lose for them. they lose if they pass it, they lose if they don't pass it. >> this is going to hurt them throughout america. >> pete: but what's really in the plan and what does it mean for the middle class? >> griff: here to set the record straight republican member of the senate finance committee senator tim scott. senator what's up? >> senator: good morning. i say that god bless chuck schumer. the reality of it is simple that for middle americans this is a tax decrease no matter what bracket you're in, your taxes are going down and the good news is that the future jobs in the world can now be created here at home because our corporate tax rate comes down and becomes

competitive for the first time in decades. this is a winner for your single moms, the average single mother around $40,000 will see her taxes cut by 50%. the average income earn erin this country, household $73,000, sees a $1500 drop in their taxes our friends on the left are afraid of this tax plan because it's not about republicans or democrats this is about hard working americans who deserve a pay raise so that you get to take home more of your money. this is good news for the middle class. >> pete: senator your friends on the left aren't so friendly about this bill. we'll put up a few aspects of what the senate tax bill actually does on the senate side , cuts the corporate tax rate to 20% to 35 but it's delay ed for one year, keeps it to seven tax brackets, the house bill has four, expands the child tax credit makes no changes to 401 (k), repeals state and local tax deductions which some states

don't like, keeps the estate tax but doubles exemptions so senator schumer raised an interesting point. republicans lose if they don't pass it but don't republicans lose as well if they pass it diluted watered down tax cut? why not go bigger and bolder with simplification and reductions when a feel like that's what a lot of conservative voters have been demanding? >> senator: no question the good news is every taxpayer will only use one bracket so whether a bracket you're in your bracket is now lower. in other words your pay fewer taxes because of the lowering of the brackets. the reality of it is simply this simplicity equals no longer having to itemize nine out of 10,000 holds will not have to itemize because the doubling of the standard deduction eliminates the need for itemization. these are really good features of the plan and frankly, it's a $5.5 trillion cut in taxes and we pay for that by eliminating some of the expenditures and having confidence that we can

grow our economy by .4% on average over the next decade. >> griff: but senator the new york times today is pointing out as so have the democrats that this is a tax raise. it will raise the taxes of the middle class and that mitch mcconnell is finally admitting that in some cases, even though it lowers taxes across every bracket some in the middle class are going to have their taxes raised. what do you say to that? >> senator: there's no doubt that if you are, if the average american or 80% of americans are taxes are going to go down, there are certainly instances in the tax code, depending on the number of children you have, depending on your income, depending on the deductions you used with the itemization, there are a number of scenarios without any question where you can paint tax increases but the reality of it is that the vast majority of americans will see their taxes go down. the number of businesses that will have more employees and

more capital investments will sky rocket and then our large corporations will also be more competitive so that they can create the jobs not in foreign nations but here at home. >> pete: senator the future of majorities in both the house and senate hinges on the efficacy, the effectiveness of this bill. you saw with obamacare. democrats pass something but then it was a disaster and ultimately hurt them. are you confident that the bill that will pass the house and senate go through conference and be voted on is the type of bill that will improve the lives of people enough to impact them in ways that they look back at the republican party and they say that was a good tax bill? >> senator: that's a very good question. three reasons why the answer is yes. number one, the individual side, the vast majority of americans will see their taxes go down. we are talking about every single bracket seeing tax decreases and number two, if you're a small business owner for the first time in a long time, you'll be able to give your employees raises. they haven't had raises in about 10 years and number three, if you're in corporate america your

corporate taxes go from the highest in the world and now lower than the oecd average, so in three very clear and specific ways, this tax reform bill delivers promises made, promises kept to the individual side of the tax code to the small businesses as well as to corporate america. >> griff: senator real quick because we got to go can you get this through raise your thin margin in the senate will you pass it? >> senator: razor thin we'll get it done. >> griff: you heard it there. >> pete: senator tim scott thanks a lot appreciate your time this morning. >> senator: yes, sir. >> pete: well democrats are feeling pretty good after this week's election results. >> the door is certainly open for us. >> president trump: the democratic party is back. >> pete: he's screaming at me but are they getting ahead of themselves? we'll debate it coming up. >> griff: plus our panel of veterans is back weighing in on the presidents overseas trip and how the president is helping our service members.

waking up like this every morning here on the consider very couch. the 78th army bond performing out on our plaza we are all celebrating veterans day today thinking about our veterans and our military currently serving, griff this is one of our favorite days of the year. >> griff: they're amazing out there three and a half hours they've been playing on our freezing weather out there and honoring all of the veterans that served and we are so proud of and to talk about today. >> abby: we've asked you to send us in your photos they've been pouring in sue sent us this photo of her father albert while serving in world war ii. >> pete: glenda sent in this photo of her husband ben while he was serving with the u.s. army in germany. >> abby: laurie sent this of her father a korean war vet with her mother on their honeymoon back in 1949. >> griff: heather sent in this photo of her brother-in-law who just retired from the coast guard this year pictured, that is unbelievably cute. >> abby: that's a beautiful photo right there. i love that so speaking of our amazing veterans pete i'll hand it over to you. >> pete: we have an amazing

group for our veterans panel here at 7:30, back at 9:30, they got breakfast, they're well fed and troops fed are happier troops. >> [laughter] >> pete: thank you all for being here and we'll touch on a bunch of topics if i can for a show of hands-on the national anthem protest we saw this take place over the course of this season. this weekend is veterans day weekend. there's a movement to boycott the nfl this sunday. by a show of hands do you support the idea of turning off the nfl this sunday in response to that? show of hands if you do support it? so about half and half. no hands here, caleb, you're retired u.s. army lieutenant also played in the nfl as a linebacker. what's your response to fans saying you know if you aren't going to stand we're going to turn it off. >> yeah, i think i don't want to use the word childish but it's sort of childish. i love the game of football and just because of a few actions of individuals that i might not necessarily agree with i'm not going to let that affect my life i have the personal decision to wake up and choose the way that i want to live today and i understand their agenda and what

they're trying to accomplish with the boycotting of the nfl but for me personally i love the nfl and will continue to watch football and the players i play with. >> pete: absolutely and each person has that individual choice. jason to you as well former jason beardsley, former u.s. army special operations, green beret. what about you on this weekend? >> jason: first of all i love america so i'll stand for the anthem every single time. veterans like this panel here and out there that are serving this country we love america we should be leading and leading by example. americans will follow that. when we want to take that man to the leadership it's our job to stand up proudly and do that. what we want to see, what i want to see is more veterans taking the leadership in politics and their communities and organizations like entrepreneurship, giving back to vets organizations, good friends of mine that right now running for the seat in congress to take paul ryan's seat or guys like shawn parnell who have given back we want our veterans to take the role of leadership

forget about what everybody else is doing let's lead they will follow. >> pete: carl you're the chief of external affairs and a former navy seal. right now the president is touring southeast southeast asia one of the stops central to that is north korea. what's the message he's delivering right now? >> it's kind of outside the perview. we're a domestic service agency but what president trump has done recently is just project this level of strength all over the world and you can see it's coming back. the issue before is that we weren't respected in the world's stage and now that we have this president doing things he's doing abroad visiting and showing the strength of america and support we can provide to people in the business of good has been phenomenal benefiting everybody. >> pete: katie speaking of respect, u.s. marine corps veteran, how much does it matter to troops when their commander-in-chief steps before them and projects a message of strength and support and belief in their mission? >> katie: i think it matters a lot. it matters to have your boss come down and recognize you for the work you've done.

i think what they would appreciate most and what i would appreciate most is for him to take action and improve our standing on the world stage and in particular, on the north korea issue i'd like to see him put more pressure on china so he's had a lot of tough talk on twitter i'd like to get away from that and push china. they are the only thing keeping north korea hanging on so let's get behind the scenes and push them. >> pete: shawn parnell, former u.s. army ranger when we look at projecting american power on the world stage what's the most important place you look at? >> well i look to the commander-in-chief to project strength. i think it's really important for the president to speak with more clarity to your point, i don't necessarily have a problem with the president going on twitter and voicing his opinion to the masses to his constituent s that voted for him. i think that's why people elected him. we elected the president because we believe he is a fighter and he has a massive social media following where he can reach over 100 million people in five minutes take it. >> pete: show of hands who think s he should tweet just as much or more than he does right

now from this group? we got the double hands in the corner. let's go to double hands. kathy why do you say that? >> kathy: this is the reason why we voted for president trump we are in this situation with north korea because of long term bureaucrats doing exactly what long term bureaucrats do is get us into a agreement and a couple of days ago this week, at the korean national assembly, they introduced president trump as the leader of the world. not the leader of the free world not the leader of just the united states, but the leader of the world and he is showing america will come first and i believe even international leaders recognize that and are taking a collective sigh of relief that we finally have someone in office who says what he means means what he says. >> pete: darren on this veterans day, darren whose a u.s. army veteran and former nypd officer service to those who haven't served what does it mean on this veterans day? >> darren: those who haven't

served should pay homage to those that have served and just going back to when she mentioned about donald trump i believe that you prepare for war if you want peace and that's what donald trump is doing as we speak at the summit over in vietnam. >> pete: joe as you know, veterans in any conflict leave parts of themselves, soul, parts of your own body for this country. on this veterans day what do you think about the most? >> first of all i want to people understand the difference between veterans day and memorial day. on that day we memorialize and think about the guys we lost. on veterans day it's a day of celebration to celebrate the freedoms that we have in this country and link that back to the people that insure it. probably the purest form of patriotism is just loving the people you pass on the street. use this day to be kind and appreciate what you can do in this country. wake up in the morning and your decisions on what you want to do today. that's the kind of freedom most

people have no idea about and remember the men and women who sacrifice that to ensure you have it and it kind of comes full circle for me and today, i'm going to think about a lot of guys still serving and guys and gals still serving give them a call tell them thank you. >> pete: amen and raise a glass. by the way how many will have a beer on this veterans day? no double hands that's okay. >> [laughter] >> pete: you guys are awesome thanks for joining us and thank you all on be half of america for your verse and all those you served with this is what makes america a fantastic place appreciate it. amen. you got it guys. democrats, think they are back on top after this week's elections but are they getting ahead of themselves? we'll debate that next. plus you've seen his patriot in paintings all over the fox & friends green room and on the second floor as well. now, steve is creating another work of art just for us. i have no idea what it is i can't wait to see it the big reveal coming up. mom's got this cold

feeling back on top. >> nancy: the door is certainly open for us. in 05 right now, we had president bush down to 38% and that's approximately where president trump is now. >> we sent an even more important or equally important message that the democratic party is back. >> abby: but are they getting ahead of themselves here to weigh in republican strategist and democratic strategist clay cane. good morning thanks for being with us. >> morning. >> abby: david i'll start with you. look a win is a win. you had wins in new jersey and virginia. look at a state like virginia though you could argue that it has turned blue especially with the demographic changes there and new jersey is a blue state so are democrats celebrating this too soon? >> perhaps. certainly as you just noted virginia has been a state that favored democrats the last few cycles particularly in the state -wide races but think about this abbey. think about how different the democratic party is now.

franklin roosevelt said at one-time we had nothing to fear but fear itself and now, all the democrats have to push themselves is fear. contrast that to what republican s are talking about we're talking about giving tax cuts to americans, we're talking about keeping our borders secure and getting rid of regulations to create jobs, very dramatically different agendas that the democrats talk about than what the republicans are talking about. >> reporter: interesting clay would love your response to that this message of fear and it seem s like very much a race against president donald trump. does that win in places like the midwest, wisconsin, ohio, pennsylvania, iowa places that you need to win the presidency? >> we'll have to see but i think on tuesday that was so a great sign. you had epic wins, you had 15 seats that were flipped in virginia. we haven't seen that since 1899. so you can't really dismiss this win and as far as using fear, you know when i think of gillespie the way he was running he was talking about sanctuary

cities and you know he was against that but there are no sanctuary cities in virginia so i think he really saw the republicans using fear and it didn't work and i'll be the first one to own fear is not a great way to sell. democrats have to sell their platform beyond just just disliking donald trump. >> abby: just beyond hate. you think about ed gel gillespie david. he got more votes than recent republicans that won the race in the state of virginia so all in all he did pretty well in terms of the numbers but what do republicans need to learn because they ultimately lost that race. they lost in new jersey as well. what do they need to learn bigger picture to be successful going forward? >> we got to deliver on what we told americans we were going to do which propelled us to victor ies in the last election. we have to cut taxes and get good answers on a better healthcare system. we have to make sure our borders are secure and we have to protect americans from the threats that happen across the country and keep the strong economy going making sure
