reply. i heard it. i heard your little joke. >> eric: i tried. we'll be back next weekend, right? >> arthel: yes we will. rick leventhal up next with a fox report. >> the russia probe taking center stage after president trump's former national security advisor michael flynn pleads guilty to lying to the fbi about his contactings with the russian ambassador and now a presidential tweet is causing considerable concern. hello i'm rick leventhal. new controversy sparked by the president's twitter account, after the commander-in-chief may s what seems to be an admission, tweeting that he fired flynn because he lied to the fbi and the vice president. that marks a possible change in the timeline, that's raising red flags, leaving democrats to wonder when the president was made aware of flynn's false statements, and if he obstructed justice by acting then fbi director comey to go easy on the case as comey has claimed.

>> i think what we're beginning to see is the putting together of a case of obstruction of justice. i think we see this in the indictments, the four indictments and pleas that had just taken place in some of the comments that are being made >> rick: garrett tenney is at the white house. garrett how is the white house explaining that tweet? >> garrett: rick we know the president loves his twitter and he's tweeted a lot over the last 48 hours about michael flynn as well as the fbi but it turns out this particular tweet did not come from his own thumbs . the president's personal attorney tells us he was the one who drafted the tweet and he then sent it to the white house social media director who actually posted it and now dowd tells us he was simply trying to paraphrase the events and did so in a rather sloppy job and added in a statement. i'm out of the tweeting business i did not mean to break news the point of that tweet was entirely

correct. it's just very sad i don't know why the guy, michael flynn lied. he didn't need to. despite that explanation, the tweet has given fresh fuel to the president's critics who argue that if president trump knew flynn lied to the fbi when he fired him he could be guilty of obstructing justice for then acting fbi director james comey to take it easy on flynn and while the white house is trying to down play the significance of michael flynn cooperating with mueller's investigation today senator lindsay graham said flynn could also be the perfect person to prove there was no collusion. >> there is no evidence of collusion, nobody has been charged with it but you found the one person who would know if it did exist so it won't belong before we understand one way or the other whether trump people colluded with russia because i can't imagine it happening and flynn not know about it. >> a source close to the investigation tells us the white house is not concerned about flynn cooperating with mueller's investigation because they believe they know everything that flynn could tell them and

none of it suggests there was any collusion. rick? >> rick: we'll have more on that presidential tweet later this hour. garrett we also learned the justice department is looking into a top fbi official fired from bob mueller's team over the summer for sending anti-trump text messages to a colleague. what march more do we know? >> garrett: the justice department is now looking into a number of cases that that agent played in and see what his role was in those investigations. that agent peter strock is a former deputy director for counter intelligence at the fbi and he's been involved in the investigation into hillary clinton's private e-mail server the trump dossier as well as mueller's probe into russia medaling and ties to the trump campaign and for months congressional investigators have been requesting the justice department they allow strock to come before their committee and answer their questions they've been accusing the department of stonewalling their efforts and yesterday after these reports came out, the justice department

we learned they have contacted house speaker paul ryan to schedule a time for strock and two other witnesses to come before those investigators but house intelligence committee chairman devon nunes is not buying it and blasting the justice department in a statement saying this 11th hour accommodation is neither credible nor believable and in fact is yet another example of the doj's disingenuineness and he has given the fbi and doj a deadline of tomorrow night to provide all of the documents that his committee has been requesting as well as the witnesses they've been asking to hear from and if they don't meet that deadline they are prepared to file contempt of congress charges against officials at both doj and the fbi. rick? >> rick: garrett tenney, a rather noisy white house garrett we appreciate your time. meanwhile on capitol hill republican senators taking a short victory lap after clearing a major huddle on tax reformerly

saturday morning but it's not over yet. lawmakers in the house and senate still need to hash out the differences in their separate bills before sending a final draft to the president's desk. the house is expected to get that ball rolling tomorrow with a key vote. senator john barasso says the two chambers are not far apart but admits there is work left to do. >> absolutely there are some changes that still need to be made in in in conference to work these things out and the other big differences are the republican bill in the senate eliminates the mandate of obamacare. it takes obamacare from being a mandatory program to a voluntary program and yes, i like the idea of making the taking away the death tax entirely. >> rick: for more on that critical senate vote in the wee hours of saturday caroline s hivley joins us and the president saying he wants the bill by christmas and the question is can they pull it off

>> republican leaders say yes, rick and they're incredibly motivated yet to deliver major legislation this year and this is a corner stone promise of the president. >> we're going to get this for christmas look its been alum p of coal for eight years under obama. we finally have a great president, president trump who wants to get the economy moving again and provide real relief for middle class families struggling this bill delivers it's a great christmas present and you're going to see this economy take off next year. >> the senate and house versions both cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 20% and cut individual tax rates more modestly by an average of $1200 by 2019. both also eliminate personal deductions. they will have to work out substantial differences though, the senate version eliminates the individual mandate in obamacare that says everyone has to have health insurance, and after 2025, those individual tax cuts go away. each body has to vote on the same bill before it can be sent to the president so they come come up with a compromise bill

or skip it and one chamber could vote on the other's version. senator king from maine said today on cbs he thinks there's a 50/50 chance the house will take up the senate version rick? >> rick: caroline the tax reform passed in both chambers with only republican votes zero democrats on board. any chance any democrats might come around this time? >> no, not really. not unless they make major changes. they couldn't even get those democrats who come from states where president trump crushed hillary clinton last year. democrats point to the joint committee on taxation which the senate bill will add a trillion dollars to the deficit over the next 10 years even after adding in estimated economic growth. republicans say it doesn't take into account the companies will hire more workers and raise wages . the democrats maintain cuts don't always roll downhill. >> why not put a requirement in with these companies would actually invest some of that money and training their workforce giving them skills they need to compete as opposed to what i'm afraid is that we

will see the vast majority of these funds come back and be used for share buyback and dividends. >> both the house and senate are back in session tomorrow. rick? >> rick: caroline shivley, thank you. sexual harassment claims are rocking congress and leading to calls for the longest serving lawmaker on capitol hill to resign. democratic congressman john conyers of michigan is facing multiple accusations of sexual harass am and republican alabama senate candidate roy moore also at the center of the storm after several women came forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct dating back to when they were teenagers nearly four decades ago. senator lindsay graham speaking on a sunday show says he would support an ethics investigation of moore. >> senator: when he comes to the senate if he does, i think an investigation an ethics investigation would be a smart thing to do and we'll see what the ethics committee decides as to whether they look at behavior before he came into the senate, does that matter if they do what

did they find we'll see. we can't stop him from being seated if there was an investigation and all six members of the committee said they believe he was a child molester that would be a problem >> rick: ellison barber has more from washington. >> ellison: in the past week, rick at least two new accusers have come forward but so far, none of the lawmakers accused of sexual harassment or misconduct have lost their jobs on capitol hill or in the case of republican candidate roy moore, they're their shot at a future. majority leader mitch mcconnell previously called on moore to dropout of the race today and he said alabama voters will decide. >> a lot of discussion about it they will make the decision a week from tuesday. the ethics committee will have to consider the matters that have been litigated in the campaign should that particular candidate win. >> when allegations of sexual harassment or misconduct came out against some in the private sector, many lost their jobs. the same cannot be said for these lawmakers, but all are

accused of some form of sexual harassment. key win of making unwanted advances on a former campaign staffer, franken of groping five women, conyers of harassing former staffers and settling a former staffer's sexual harassment claim with 84,000 taxpayer dollars. in the case of farenthold, the money came from a fund managed by the office of compliance. >> we know all total since 1995, there have been 268 claims paid. we know the total is 17 million. how that breaks out with different types of complaint and settlements we do not know. >> that fund is now the focus of bipartisan legislation that has over 60 co-sponsors that would end the fund and name any lawmaker whose used it in the past, a republican from indiana also proposed legislation to prevent lawmakers from doing what conyers did, using office funds to settle harassment claims. rick? >> rick: ellison barber reporting. coming up a little later in the

show we'll take a closer look at the alabama senate race as new polls show republican roy moore in a virtual tie with democrat doug jones. leniency toward brock turner following his conviction for sexual assault sparked nationwide anger and condemnation. >> it sent the message don't bother to call the police because you will not get justice , and to potential perpetrators it sends a message don't worry, the courts will have your back. >> rick: that was then, now, the former stanford swimmer is trying to clear his record. we'll explain. plus, the president's son-in-law jared kushner in the spotlight regarding the russia investigation so what's his response to all of the media attention? liberty mutual saved us almost eight hundred dollars when we switched our auto and home insurance. with liberty, we could afford a real babysitter instead of your brother. hey. oh. that's my robe. is it? you could save seven hundred eighty two dollars when liberty stands with you.

he was asked about the press and how he handles it as his name surfaces again in the russia investigation with reports referencing a "senior advisor" who instructed michael flynn to reach out to the russians. >> i don't let it bother me. i mean there are people who are good at dealing with the media. my focus is on the objectives and we'll stay focused on the different missions and we're here to serve the country and we'll just keep going and what i am confident is that when our service is done, we'll look back and we won't say oh, there was a bad story on this or a bad story on that. we'll look back and say did we spend every minute we could to push as hard as we could on the issues we cared about to make as big of an impact as possible. >> rick: he also weighed in on middle east policy which was the focus of the event discussing a possible decision by the president to move the u.s. embassy and israel to jerusalem. >> he's still looking at a lot of different facts and when he makes his decision he will be the one to want to tell you not me, so he will make sure he does

that at the right time. >> rick: his comments commas the white house looks to restart peace talks between israel and the palestinians. a former stanford swimmer convicted of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman wants a new trial. attorneys for brock turner filing an appeal last week hoping to overturn his mandatory lifetime requirement to register as a sex offender. turner's case gained national attention when a judge sentenced him to just six months in jail. he served three of those months. will car is in los angeles. will what's the basis for turner 's appeal? >> will: well rick his attorneys are basically saying they don't believe that turner got a fair trial and in fact, they say and i'm quoting here that his trial was a detailed and lengthy set of lies, almost a third of their appeal focusing on how drunk the victim was the night of the assault. now she doesn't remember what happened that night but she did read a statement at the sentenc ing where she said, " assault is not an accident."

this happened back in 2015 when two stanford grad students were biking past and they say they saw turner on top of the unconscious woman, they say he took off when he saw them and they chased him down and held turner until police arrived. now turner who was a stanford student in a champion swimmer with olympic ambitions faced 14 years in prison but ultimately was only sentenced to six months in a county jail and probation. the decision that many found to be far too lenient and the santa clara district attorney releasing a statement this weekend which reads brock turner received a fair trial and was justly convicted. his conviction will be upheld. nothing can ever rollback the victim in the legacy of raising the world's awareness about sexual assault. turner's trial and sentencing sparked national outrage and drew attention to sexual assault on college campuses, rick. >> rick: as you referenced, will the judge's sentence in this drew a lot of heat. >> will: yeah, he got a lot of backlash across the country. we're talking about judge aaron

persky, a stanford grad and after the sentencing he faced a recall effort and the judge tried to block that in court but this past friday it was allowed to move forward so the recalled petition has 7 6,000 signatures and it needs 90,000 to get on the ballot in june so while the appeal moves forward, we'll see if the judge is impacted from his decision as well, rick. >> rick: will carr live in los angeles thanks very much. president trump plan prompting backlash in utah. why thousands of protesters hit the streets this weekend in salt lake city. plus, a woman wanted in arkansas for stealing $30,000 worth of jewelry and her alleged accomplices will probably take her out of the running for mother of the year. >> it's really detrimental especially this time of the year where local business so this is something that it really hurts us. they were waiting for the right opportunities they walk in and scope it out to see whose around and then they go for it.

people gathered to oppose president trump's plan to reduce bears ears national monument by 85% and cut the side of the grand staircase monument in half i think there's a big disconnect between people and their environment and i also think that it's important to have natural places that are untouched and not modified. >> phil: utah's congressional and state leaders lobbied the president to reduce the size of the monument scott state would have more control on what can be done on those lands. >> big business should not trump the care of the national treasures. >> phil: the crowd cheered as tribal, state and city leaders and even a geologist spoke out about why these lands should be protected. >> this protest is just the beginning five tribal nations and others pledge to fight any reduction of the monument in court. >> the five tribes all of us that stood up to protect this

aren't going to take it no more. we're not going to get mad. we're not going to get angry. we're going to use the law to our advantage. >> shawn chester says the proposal is just the latest example of the federal government breaking promises with native americans. >> this monument was the first monument that the native american tribes actually participated in. >> this protest comes two days before president trump is expected to visit utah to announce the proposed cuts. more demonstrations are expected against what these protesters say is a monumental mistake. >> this is only a moment. only one of the many fights. >> we know we are in this together. >> in salt lake city, paul murphy fox 13 news utah. >> rick: it's down to the wire in the alabama senate race over a week away from voters deciding the future of embattled candidate roy moore. coming up how republican leadership is walking that cause for him to dropout of the

>> rick: this is the fox report

it's the bottom of the hour, if you're just joining us the president raising red flags with his favorite form of communication after tweeting this yesterday. "i had to fire general flynn because he lied to the vice president and the fbi. he has plead guilty to those lie s. it is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful, there was nothing to hide." democrats say that's proof of obstruction since the president knew michael flynn committed a crime, but then allegedly asked former fbi director james comey to look the other way. the president's personal attorney is now taking the blame saying he is the one who drew up that tweet. but for congressman adam shiff, that only muddies the waters even more. >> this means that what the attorney is saying is consistent between the president and the staff. the president knew he had lied to the fbi, which means that when he talked to the fbi director and asked him to drop this case, he knew flynn had committed a federal crime, so to me, frankly it's more serious coming from the attorney than it

would have been just coming directly from the president. >> rick: joining me now is earlies a collins congressional reporter, good to see you. >> good to be here. >> rick: there's a lot to digest here. what did the president know and when did he know it? >> well that's the big question here, right? if this tweet really did come from trump's lawyer presuming the lawyer did not have access to the president's twitter trump probably looked it over and then it raises questions if he knew that flynn lied to the fbi, and then went and had the conversation with james comey as comey said he asked him to lay off flynn. that raises questions, trump again has denied that james comey's account of the conversation so we really just we're hearing all of these different accounts and it's hard to figure out which is which. >> rick: well the attorney john dowd made it pretty clear he was the author of this tweet and he says he was simply sloppy.

he was being sloppy, but that the point of it was that flynn had no reason to lie and that the president didn't know that he had lied when he let him go, right? >> and that very well could be true. it could just be sloppy phrasing and the assumption is that what flynn told the vice president is the same thing he told the fbi and that was incorrect. the problem is the fact that it is now a tweet it gives amunition to someone like adam s hiff or investigators to just ask what does the president know and when did he know it. >> rick: people like shiff are saying this makes it worse if his lawyer is trying to cover up for the president that makes it worse than it might have been. >> well assuming it's not just president trump waking up and being frustrated and firing off his thoughts without really kind of thinking about it, assuming a lawyer should know what to do and say and so it does raise questions if it comes from the lawyer. >> rick: even with this there's still nothing so far from the flynn plea deal that we know of that will confirm any collusion on the part of the trump

administration with russia during the election, correct? >> exactly, right. so far there has been no proof of collusion and that is what president trump and his team keeps driving forward every single day. now the fact that the flynn plea deal was very narrow thing, there are questions is he giving mueller an exchange for such a small plea deal. it could implicate someone kind of higher up on that ladder but it does not necessarily mean that there's any collusion nothing has been announced. >> rick: in other words robert mueller allegedly had a lot of stuff on flynn including this alleged plot to kidnap the turkish leader from the u.s. and bring him back to turkey and none of that came up, so he only got a guilty plea on one count of lying which you're suggesting means there could be a lot more behind the scenes. >> right and i don't know, i'm not on the team this could be the only thing they found him guilty of, but there were a lot of questions about flynn kind of

openly discussed. he did some lobbying where there were a lot of questions sort of being as his registration as a foreign agent and none of that came up so people are sort of saying that could mean he's made a deal with mueller to talk for someone higher up and because flynn is so high already, the assumption is he would have to have good information. >> rick: well the washington post made that point that this is typical of white collar cases for prosecutors to secure a plea deal from someone whose pretty high up the chain in order to work their way up to the top of that ladderment. >> right and we've been hearing for weeks that flynn has stopped kind of having conversations with the white house they've made it clear they're separate so its been assumed for a little while now he was sort of working with mueller but this was the first actual charge we saw. it was very narrow. >> rick: we mentioned that story of the fbi agent who was involved in the case pretty substantially, apparently who was cut loose because they found

these text messages ripping trump that they had sent. what more do you know about that >> well that just raises questions. it gives people who are saying that this is a partisan exercise kind of amunition. we saw president trump tweeting about it today, the agent was let go after they found it, so if you're on mueller's side you could say the minute they found it they let him go he's not in this conversation any more, but if you believe that this is a witch hunt as president trump has said you can point and say look this person was part of the conversation and he was anti- trump. >> rick: usa today congressional reporter thanks very much for being with us tonight. >> thank you. >> rick: there's just over a week to go until perhaps the most highly anticipated special election in the history of the state of alabama. with new polls showing the race has tightened up between democratic candidate doug jones and republican candidate roy moore. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell today seems to be back pedaling on his call for moore to dropout of the race but he's still not ruling out a possible

investigation by the senate ethics committee if moore wins. >> i think we're going to let the people of alabama decide a week from tuesday who they want to send to the senate and they will address the matter appropriately. i've already said in the past that i thought this was a matter that would have to be considered by the committee, ultimately to be up to them to make that decision and they will make it depending upon whether a judge moore ends upcoming to the senate. >> rick: brian joins me now both candidates were out campaigning today. >> no doubt doug jones has been hosting a lot of campaign events in an effort to take advantage of the momentum handed to him as embattled republican roy moore plays defense over these teenage sexual assault allegations. this afternoon joan hosted a fish fry in tuscaloosa, alabama and continues to call out moore for avoiding reporters and large campaign events earlier jones did not mince any words.

>> he's been an embarrassment ever since he's been elected and been removed from office twice and kicked out of office and now we see all of the accusations that have come out from brave women who are finally getting their voice to be able to stand up and speak out and those are credible voices and those voices are far more credible than the denials that roy moore had and people need to take that into account and see what kind of alabama, what we are teaching our children. >> meantime roy moore continues to rally his base at churches today he attended the guiding light church outside birmingham an african american church with a pastor that made it clear he's pro life and anti gay marriage and moore spoke for a few minutes but nothing campaign- related and avoided reporters friday and moore said he's frustrated the d.c. establishment has kept president trump from outwardly supporting him more like he's wanted and this as alabama is receiving robocalls rick with a voice of l ara trump, the president's

daughter-in-law encouraging them to go to president trump's rally on december 8 just four days before the big vote on december 12. >> rick: and these latest polls are showing things tightened up? i heard one poll say roy moore was actually ahead. >> the poll we will cite is the washington post one but the fox news poll two weeks ago actually had jones ahead of roy moore by eight points. this new washington post poll this week shows it is neck and neck. doug jones has a slight lead 50- 47% over judge moore and this is close and within the margin of error four and a half points and now the poll also shows alabama voters are divided over whether or not they believe the sexual abuse allegations against moore 35% believe the allegations and 37% say they're unsure and have no opinion or no opinion and 28% say they do not believe the women's allegations at all. we shall see. >> rick: yes we will thanks very much.

he's the most recognized names in boxing an unstopable force back in the day just 20 years old when he became the youngest heavyweight boxing championship in the world but tyson never stopped battling personal issues on the way to fortune and fame. to call his youth troubled would be an understatement with 38 arrests by the age of 13 a home environment you have to hear to believe. as you can see he sat down to talk about the ups and downs of his life and the final episode of season 1 objectified with harvey levin, the executive producer good to see you. >> hi, rick. >> rick: so what struck you about mike tyson? >> the unfiltered honesty. i've now interviewed a bunch of people for the show and every one of them, i feel they've been very candid about the ups and the downs but when they talk about the downs, most of the other people that i've interview ed for this show, they've kind of they understand

that it's a painful period and you see that in their face. you hear it in their voice. there was none of that with mike tyson. he is just unfiltered the way he describes the rape trial, prison , like you said the way he grew up. i mean, his mom was a prostitute his dad was a pimp so it is the most unfiltered of all of the interviews i've done for objectified. >> rick: i want to hear that clip harvey i understand we have that particular sound bite. let's listen to that. >> you grew up in brooklyn. >> yes. >> and your mom was a prostitute your dad was a pimp. >> yes. >> that means in a way you grew up in a whore house? >> pretty much, yeah. >> what was it like? >> it was something you get accustomed to, to seeing your mother fix the girls up and everything getting them ready to go to work and just apart of your life every day.

>> rick: usually you talk to people in their homes that looks like a jail. >> [laughter] >> rick: he doesn't live in a jail does he? >> no, no, rick i'll tell you what it is. when he was 13 years old he developed a love for pigeons and mike tyson has a pigeon menageri e in his home. he has several hundred pigeons and i went in there with him, but pigeons are a big thing in mike tyson's life seriously. >> rick: wow he obviously tattooed his face. did he talk about that? >> no, we didn't get into that. there was so much to talk about with him. when you think about it, like you said, how does a guy whose arrested 38 times, how does he end up disciplined enough to become a world championship boxer? and there's an answer to that and it's a crusty old guy in his

reform school and changed his life that way and mike tyson never got over that guy who died a year before he became champ and still cries when he talks about it. >> rick: did he mention his proud its moment or biggest regret? >> yeah, i mean he talks about the rape trial obviously but he just maintains that the scenario was the send a arrow he painted to the jury that the jury didn't buy but he still maintains it and obviously he was regret full about that and another regret by the way rick this guy made $400 million. he was $90 million, he owed $90 million to the irs, and was in bankruptcy for 15 years and basically lived to pay off the irs for that period of time. rick: how is he doing now? >> he recovered and making money on his own. rick he's got a broadway play. he does movies, he does

endorsement deals and he's a family man which nobody would ever think he was, yet even being a family man, you hear that it's a struggle for him and he's very open about it. it's just i don't know. this one was different. >> rick: when you interviewed shaq you played basketball with him so did you get into a boxing ring with iron mike? >> yeah, i did that rick, sure. i'm sitting here right? >> rick: what about the object he holds most dear in his home? >> you know, when we talked about his family he showed a valentine's day card he wrote his wife. honestly what he wrote his wife is one of the most hilarious things i've ever seen. this is not exactly a romantic valentine's day card and in terms of the excess of his life, the money and all of that, mike tyson brought out the most craziest versacci shirt he still has and let me just say, this was not in mike tyson's thin

period, wait until you see the shirt. >> rick: you talked about how horrible his home life was and ridiculously bad that situation was and all of the arrests he had growing up it seems clear he wasn't in a position perhaps to handle the fame and the hundreds of millions of dollars that came his way. >> he was a poor kid from brooklyn and suddenly he's making millions and millions of dollars, how on earth could anybody be expected to handle that responsibly ever? i mean, it's impossible. i think it's impossible. i mean there are a few people who have done it but my god, i mean especially with mike tyson 's upbringing he was destined for this kind of crash ing and burning. >> rick: well its been a terrific series harvey and this looks like a fascinating episode we look forward to watching it with mike tyson right after this program. >> thank you very much rick. >> thanks a lot. well you might expect rhode island to have some pretty good

roads, right? you'd be wrong. it ranked worst in the nation but now an effort reverse that reputation, how the dot is planning to do it and what drivers have to say about it. looking for balance in your digestive system? try align probiotic. for a non-stop, sweet treat goodness, hold on to your tiara kind of day. get 24/7 digestive support, with align. the #1 doctor recommended probiotic brand. also in kids chewables.

>> rick: rhode island roads are the worst seriously ranked worst in the nation so the d. o. t. director now taking action in the name of transparency and the state installing signs detailing project costs and timelines, but as our douglas kennedy explains not everyone thinks this is a good use of resources, he is in providence to explain. >> we had the worst roads and bridges in the entire united states. we're 50th out of 50. >> when peter took over the rhode island department of transportation in 2015, he faced infrastructure that was consistently rated the worst in the nation, but that wasn't his biggest problem. >> so your biggest problem was you felt you had lost the trust of rhode island residents to fix rhode island infrastructure? >> yes, we did and rightfully so at that time two and a half years ago, we had only 29% of the project on time and on

budget. >> projects for instance seem to go on without end, and always seem to cost more than originally planned. the solution according to alvedi , transparency, which is why he mandated these signs on every bridge project in the state. they list the cost, expected date of completion. they also reveal whether the project is on time and within budget. he also created a website detailing information about every public works project in rhode island, but not everyone is buying the apparent transparency in the sign. >> they're ugly, pollution, its cost is extremely expensive. >> residents recently filed a series of freedom of information requests to find out their costs >> 250 to $300,000 and that money should be spent on fixing our roads and in pro structure not on signs.

>> so your critics point out ironically these signs ended up costing more than originally promised and that they are taking money away from actual infrastructure projects. what do you say to that? >> well now because of accountability, we have 100% of our projects on time and on budget. >> a complete turnaround. he attributes to holding government accountable in a state where a lot of road work still needs to be done. in providence rhode island, douglas kennedy fox news. >> a brand new country music venue opening in the heart of new york city. coming up how this new joint is bringing some southern flare to the big apple. ♪ it's red lobster's new ultimate surf & turf event. get ready these 5 pairings are gonna floor ya.
