someone. >> thank you for taking time to intervene on our behalf. >> there is a lot to get to come you just heard a few of our top stories. it is 4:00 in the morning on the east coast in new york city, the avenue of the americas always shining bright. good morning to you, you are watching "fox and friends" first this thursday morning, let's get to our top story, this morning talking about tax reform. donald from hitting to capitol hill to huddle with gop house

leaders, a critical vote today. their goal passing their sweeping tax bill before thanksgiving. jenkins live in washington with what they could possibly get done or if they can get this done. >> get aboard the tax train is the message as the president will go before the republican caucus tweeting yesterday big vote tomorrow in the house, tax cuts are getting close, the vote is the first step towards the goal for tax reform, the largest tax cut in history, despite objections by lawmakers in high tax states like new york, new jersey and california. steve scalise is confident he has the votes. >> i feel good about where we are, earlier, focused on passing this bill because it cuts taxes, gets the economy going again to cut jobs. >> house democrats remain opposed, leading a chance

against it. >> kill the bill! kill the bill! kill the bill! kill the bill! >> reporter: the senate finance committee marks up their version which is expected to pass out of committee and reach the vote after thanksgiving but already one republican senator, ron johnson, says he can't vote for it because it benefits corporations unfairly. >> we are dedicated to getting results, tax reform will grow the economy and put more money into america's paycheck. >> reporter: three other senators -- they had that razor thin margin, can only afford to lose two senate votes to pass anything. heather: the the president is going no. democrats are launching their most aggressive push yet to impeach donald trump.

>> the president is an awful president. >> to continue to bring shame. >> threat to our national security. >> why their efforts could impact backfire. >> this is the third time democrats have launched an effort to impeach donald trump, this time on wednesday six democrats went in, led by steve cohen of tennessee introducing 5 articles of impeachment. they accuse the president of obstruction of justice in the russia investigation for the firing of james comey, accepting without consent of congress from foreign governments and undermining the federal judiciary and freedom of the press. >> we are introducing articles of impeachment to remove donald trump from office, given the magnitude of the constitutional crisis there is no reason for delay. >> there are many reasons the president is an awful president,

an awful person. >> this president has committed misdeeds that merit impeachment. >> donald trump is a threat to our national security. >> reporter: in a statement press secretary sarah sanders said the time would be, quote, better spent on tax relief for american families and businesses, disappointing extremists in congress reviews to accept the president's decisive victory in last year's election and this past sunday even democratic leadership reiterating they too are not for a push to impeach the president. >> i'm not talking about impeachment because i'm talking about good jobs for folks, healthcare for all. >> let the chips fall where they may but not someplace we should go. the election is about meeting the needs of the american people.

>> the democrats feared impeachment talk could backfire, riling of the president's base, >> great to have you here with us and we will talk about that later. democrats demand impeachment constitutional law attorney jonathan turley with a quick history lesson, he says the case they laid out should find several other presidents including barack obama. >> no evidence to support it, some of these are outside the definition of impeachable offense, they are seeking to impeach the president for undermining the courts and the press. those counts are ridiculously overbroad, could have been used to impeach half the presidents of the united states. after all president obama, his administration investigated a leading journalist from this

network in an appalling violation of tradition and in my view good decisionmaking. this idea that you can impeach someone for these ambiguous charges is a dangerous precedent to set. heather: a manhunt happening right now, a baltimore police officer fighting for his life. that officer, an 18 year veteran and homicide detective was shot in the head while investigating a killing near a notoriously violent intersection. he tried to start a conversation with a suspicious person, when the man pulled out a gun and fired. >> thoughts and prayers are with our detective, with his wife, his two children, continues to fight for his life. heather: the officer is on life

support. new video of florida serial killer moments before a fourth victim was shot and killed. we are following this story, tampa police offering $91 reward for information leading to an arrest. the murders happening in blocks of each other in the same neighborhood. >> look at how the person walks. it is clear to me this person is able to flip a switch and go out and murder someone. heather: neighbors installing extra cameras hoping to catch the killer. the violent psychopathic killer to escape the mental hospital in hawaii and made it all the way to california is back in custody. speaking out of the hospital, and flying commercial in san jose. for not alerting officials of the escape for 10 full hours.

authorities believe his escape may have been an inside job, was found not guilty in 1981 in a brutal murder by reason of insanity. the roy moore scandal could hinge on a signature in a yearbook. one of the senate candidates accuses claims he tried sexually assaulting her four decades ago when she was 16 and even said he signed her high school yearbook, roy moore da. his lawyer firing back suggesting the signed page could be fake. >> judge moore says there is no way in the world that is his handwriting. released a yearbook so we could determine is a genuine or is a fraud? >> 7 women claimed more harassed them. the republican party discussing what steps to take if any before the december 12th election. with the alabama senate seat in

jeopardy going to a democrat fox news contributor mark jason says republicans should be fighting tooth and nail because losing it will put the president's agenda in jeopardy. >> steve bannon is threatening to challenge republican senators. republican senators, 96% of the time, you are not getting the trump agenda passed, not because of mitch mcconnell but 52 republican senators, what we should be focused on is five democrats in 2018 running in states donald trump won, those people defeated and keep the republicans, 57 votes, with ron johnson.

heather: basketball players apologizing and thanking donald trump for helping to bring them home. in the hotel room in china, accused of shoplifting. during his trip to russia or asia today. >> feel sorry to everybody, donald trump and the united states government, thank you for taking time to intervene on our behalf. really appreciate you helping us out. heather: afterwards the president tweeted do you think the you see a basketball players would say thank you, donald trump, they were headed for ten years in jail. all three freshmen players indefinitely suspended from the team. 11 minutes after the top of the hour, calls increasing for special prosecutor to look at hillary clinton's ties to russia. what does the former secretary

of state think of it? >> if they send a signal that we are going to be a dictatorship where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated. heather: giving the clintons a pass is downright dangerous and faith under fire, the easiest group who thought they shut down got on the gridiron backfired big time. model mayhem, victoria's secret fashion show is turning into an international -- the ruckus on the runway, putting the paper in jeopardy.

heather: the trump administration restarting an immigration policy to get

illegals out of the country. agents bringing back the catch and release policy which allows border patrol agents to move those captured illegals back over the border instead of holding them in the us. the change comes after those facilities reach maximum capacity. a controversial memo appearing to allow mentally ill people to enlist in the armed forces has been rescinded. the rule would have left recruits with a history of mental disorders, substance abuse, waivers to join us. the chief of staff said to the doctor who made the change was not authorized to do so. calls are increasing for a special prosecutor to look into hillary clinton's ties to russia but if you ask the former secretary of state donald trump is a dictator for trying to get to the truth. >> this is such an abuse of power. if they send a signal that we

are going to be like some dictatorship, some authoritarian regime where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated, that rips at the fabric of the contract we have that we can't trust our justice system. heather: is enough evidence for a special counsel? an investigator at the daily caller, thanks for joining us, very early. people talking about this nonstop, is there enough evidence? >> we are not a banana republic, we one of the targeting of people for political reasons. if anything we see politically connected people who do things you or i would be thrown in jail for and prosecutors have evident and to bring charges and there is a tremendous perception, fear

of the perception of targeting may swing the pendulum in the other direction of what hillary clinton is talking about where these donald trump guys don't want to seem they are going after it for political reasons. be treated and judged according to the same standards. heather: let's look at what jeff sessions had to say when he was questioned by jim jordan. >> what will it take to get a special counsel? >> a factual basis and use proper standards and the only thing i can tell you. you can have your idea but study what the facts are. heather: does it meet the

standards. >> debbie wasserman schultz, follow that closely, documents showing fraudulent ethics disclosures, falsified billing, evidence of taking data off the house of representatives server and the year ago data being taken off congressional services, and a year later haven't seen any charges. the fbi says they don't have the evidence and it doesn't square with what the evidence is. when you see the lack of prosecution on these kinds of things, these, this is the swamp. heather: political decisions when they are not supposed to be political, supposed to be outside of it so talking about the deep state. how deep does it go? >> you have people in both parties embedded deep into the department of justice and every other agency and they all know each other, people don't want to

go against their friends and neighbors. debbie wasserman schultz's brother is a prosecutor in the same office dealing with it. the idea of a special prosecutor is to -- with no connection. it is too small of a community. >> in kansas and beyond, thank you so much for joining us. great stuff. the time is 20 minutes after the top of the hour. army deserter bowe bergdahl is begging for a $300,000 payday but the response from congress, denied. there are 100 new reasons why. remember when social media went crazy over marco rubio trying to sip some water during his gop address? the tables have turned on donald

trump. carly shimkus is here with the new watergate. where is your bottled water?

heather: the nfl throwing a flag at one of its most legendary owners over roger goodell's contract extension. carly shimkus with serious xm 115 is here with social media's take on the football feud. >> that viewed between them and the rest of the nfl reached a boiling point. the nfl send jones a letter accusing him of conduct

detrimental to the league's best interest over his objection to roger goodell's contract extension. gerri jones has expressed concern over roger goodell's compensation and his handling of the nfl's national anthem protest. >> anything other than honor the flag. >> jones has threatened to sue the nfl of the contract extension goes through, and the nfl is telling jones to drop it and urge mister jones, and to undermine the committee mandate. and they are threatening to have him removed from the cowboys. social media all over this one. jones is the only one with a lick of sense. roger goodell is a liability, not even a cowboys fan. don on twitter said last time i checked, gerri jones and other

owners pay the salary, to show disapproval of him, he is not even a cowboys fan. big deal in the nfl. heather: crazy what he is asking for in my opinion. something of people are upset about involving the nfl and gun protests. >> this billboard for a gun range race, the only time, holding a gun, south jersey shooting club is now facing a lot of backlash. checklist week, please call, taking a knee is a protest to say no to police brutality. the gun owner responded saying it has nothing to do with race, it is just support for our veterans. big back and forth. heather: something that was

brought up after it ended during the campaign, market review. >> this reminds that a lot of people when marco rubio took a sip of water during his speech, there it is but because the president made fun of marco rubio on twitter for this moment, marco rubio got back at him saying similar but needs work, capacity with one single motion and i should never leave the camera but not bad for his first time. how about that for some lighthearted twitter. heather: lighthearted twitter trolling i will take. appreciate it. half past the top of the hour and isis taking aim at the pope, a sick new threat against the vatican promising christmas blood. >> donald trump is a threat to

our national security. heather: democrat launch a new impeachment pitch, the political panel on deck to debate it.

heather: we are back with a terrifying fox news alert, isis targeting the vatican promising, quote, christmas blood. benjamin hall in london with the unnerving threat. >> chilling message from the terror group, losing territory in iraq and syria. they encourage their followers to attack in the west and the latest target vatican. this propaganda poster released by one of their affiliates they show a masked figure driving toward st. peter's basilica with a gun and a backpack. of the top is the message christmas blood, a clear

reminder of the many vehicle borne attacks carried out in the past blues not the first time they threaten the vatican. in august they published a video showing jihadists destroying church statues saying remember this, we will be in rome. and ripping up photos of the pope. christmas has been a target for the terrorists. last year in berlin a 32 ton truck was intentionally driven through the city's christmas market before crashing into a crowd shopping, 12 that and wounding 49 was nothing new from isis. encouraging supporters to lunch attacks. christmas a target for them this year and security centers around the world does christmas. heather: you wrote a book about taking aim at isis. what do you think of the threat

this time around? >> no doubt they are trying to come out with more propaganda, reach out to followers, losing territory very quickly. one person with jihadi leanings, to get an idea in their mind, carried out and so easy nowadays to get hold of a knife, a vehicle and carry out these attacks, very little these self radicalized domestic jihadi's -- very plausible. heather: only takes one time for them, to protect us. appreciate it. democrats back home renewing their efforts to impeach donald trump. >> we are introducing articles of impeachment to remove donald trump from office, given the magnitude of the constitutional crisis no reason for delay. >> there are many reasons the

president is an awful president, an awful person. >> this president has committed misdeeds that merit impeachment. >> donald trump is a threat to our national security. heather: are they going to win back voters this way? here to debate of councilman joe borelli, and hillary clinton campaign advisor and fox news contributor jimmy greene, thank you for joining us. having you here in person is nice. we heard one of the democrats say he thinks the president is an awful person, you can have but that is my reason for impeachment. >> he should be saying the president is an awful person but i you are seeing is a political city stunned, this is not based in any series of law, this is the congressional equivalent of petulant children throwing a temper tantrum because their team lost. if they want to get ready for the 2018 elections and resisting

the trump agenda they should come up with a plan and governing the country and an effective message to reach out to voters. heather: we have the five articles of impeachment, put up for people at home as we talk about this, your opinion on it? is this helping or hurting their cause? >> in politics there is a saying called red meat. we see donald trump delivered to his base a lot of red meat at his rallies, on his twitter feed. also red meat on behalf of democrats, for the base. you have some strong points these members of congress have made especially around the obstruction of justice as far as donald trump deciding to fired fbi director comey because of the russian investigation in some way, shape or form. we know that to be the case. when you look at what needs to

happen in this country from a community standpoint the leadership should come from the top and it hasn't come from the top. we have been divided with so many attacks and so polarized, democrats are going to deliver red meat in the same way the president. heather: is one of the big reasons donald trump was elected into office because ultimately people thought that work was not being done in washington dc the way it needed to be done, they thought bringing in an outsider, he said i will come in and clean up all that and get rid of all that and get some work done but we see work is not getting done. the latest debate over the tax reform issue is keeping work from being done. >> there is a real policy debate to be had in terms of this talk -- tax debate. we should go forward with this but democrats should be explaining to voters why taxes are bad. they are playing to the cheap

seat of their party and republicans of the net too. what they are not doing is making it is anything more than a way to get on the evening news. frankly it falls on the mainstream media to laugh off these attempt as they did with similar attempts to impeach president obama. heather: they are not doing that. a different take when you listen to the mainstream media, the level of coverage it is given. >> we are living in different political times. to your point why donald trump was elected and draining of the swamp, one of the things, that promise has not come to fruition as far as how he filled the cabinet, not just the work is

being done. to the coverage of this impeachment situation, there are very specific significant points they are including. that is something the public probably does want to understand. when donald trump fired james comey, was that obstruction of justice? that is the question a lot of people have on their minds, a core part of impeachment points. we will see how far they go. julie: there be a special prosecutor appointed to see how involved james comey, hillary clinton, uranium one how far that goes back, some of those answers? >> looking into all the issues with russia. shepard smith made it clear, nothing to see is far as uranium

one. heather: depending who you listen to. we will see what happens. thank you for joining us, appreciate it. we will talk about this, 100 lawmakers outraged over it disgraced deserter bowe bergdahl's payday from the pentagon. they argue he should not receive back paphos for the five years he spent in captivity with the delavan after walking off his post in 2009. he was dishonorably discharged despite admitting to desertion and putting away many of his fellow soldiers or putting them in danger. charles manson tweeting to life in a california hospital reporting the 83-year-old, various treatment for several days. manson who is serving seven life sentences is suffering severe health issues and was previously

sympathizers currently enrolled. ryan mauro joins us to weigh in. rehabing isis terrorists, is that possible? >> it will be from having an epiphany on their own, something you can do -- in 99.9% of cases because they are already on a level of extremism, part of essentially an apocalyptic death cult. to try to take that person and turn them into a freedom loving people is something you just can't implant in their brain and in the past, previous programs have been like trying to treat a heroin addict with crack cocaine. >> any previous program, past history of success or failure? >> in the past, this specific

group is bad so you shouldn't join them, you should turn away from them and redirect their extremism but the underlying extremism, believe in theocracy, hating jews and christians, those themes still remain. a d radicalization or terrorist rehab program that says we go after the islamist ideology as a whole and use that as a dividing line and the barrier for success has to be they believe in secular democratic values. you are an enemy of the west. heather: turning them from a certain area prior to being radicalized, one of the key questions is who is holding the territory where this is happening? >> who is funding the operation, specialists are unpaid, you look at the program and they have a big tv, sports and entertainment and take a test and if they pass the test and considered the

radicalized might result in reduced sentencing. the program, who are the so-called moderates you are bringing in? if you are using the rehab analogy you might be bringing another hyper radical connected to the muslim brotherhood and redirecting from one group to another jihadist cause and that is why it is like giving crack cocaine to a heroin addict and fake problem solved. heather: isis is not the only radical group. >> you have so many radical groups, the moment you the radicalize one of these individuals, you are surrounded by radicals. >> would this allow someone to get back to another country, he has been through this program and been the radicalize so he can get a pass to come back
