workforce and giving them skills to compete as opposed to what i'm afraid, we will see the vast majority of these funds come back and be used for share buyback and dividends. kelly: democrats along with some republicans are concerned about the elimination of the state and local tax deductions in high-taxed states. now that could cause senator susan collins to vote against the final conversation of -- version of the bill. >> no, i mean, obviously i want to see what comes out. i believe that the amendments that i added on medical expense deductions, on property tax deductions, on helping retirement security to improve the bill. kelly: she's pretty firm on that senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, he's confident congress will pass a temporary spending bill in a bipartisan fashion before the government runs out of money on friday. easy said but not easily done.

sweeping tax reform bill and among other provisions of the bill but eliminate the penalty for not buying health insurance starting in 2019, so many people are wondering, how will this affect health care, here with some answers is dr. nicole sapphire. >> i'm cautiously optimistic. we have a long week ahead of us. jillian: we will take the optimism, how about that? you can explain to us how it's going to work for a lot of people. let's start with repealing individual mandate, who is this going to help. i was surprised that it made it through the senate and came through with a couple of caveats, that's okay. you actually put a bipartisan bill in it to come together and that's what we have been asking for, repealing of the individual mandate that's going to help the people who can't afford health insurance not have to purchase

health insurance, they are able to keep the money. they are not being penalized anymore, whether they want to purchase catastrophic plan, they are able to do it. they are given that choice and that's what people are demanding. jillian: you see it something as sticks? >> i don't know. we have a lot of work to go done with that. with the passage of alexander murray, there are negotiations happening and that may make it work and may help people. we have to temporarily increase the cost and share and reductions and bring them back and that's how the individual mandate is going to stabilize the marketplace. you can't do one without the other right now. >> to be determined then. temporarily reviefing the cost-sharing reductions to subsidies? >> senator colins opposed to mandate. this is how we are getting

forward progress, a lot of people are being upset and tweak a little bit but it's progress. >> progress, you know, what, progress is good. allowing low-income people to disburg -- >> people being able to deduct medical expenses and people with chronic illness that is have high amount of medical cost that is do depend on these cost reductions especially those elderly population and long-term care facilities, the senate bill kept that, they actually made it better for lower-income population. they brought it down from 10% threshold to 7.5. this is going to help a lot of low--income and middle class people. fiscal responsible way for people to utilize money and allocate where it should go. jillian: finally medicare.

>> nothing specifically changes to medicare. that has nothing to do with this bill. jillian: as we know that's not going to necessarily be the case, but would you be happy with this? >> in my opinion the significant bill is stronger than the house bill. i would be happy to move something similar to senate bill but a lot of negotiations this week and will probably be something in between and i don't know where yet. jillian: okay, dr. nicole saphier. rob. rob: thank you, ladies, 19 minutes after the top of the hour, heros making ultimate suck fees for the country. evidently a man who takes the knee for the anthem that deserves an award for bravery. >> we all have an obligation no matter the risk and regardless of reward to stand up for fellow men and women. rob: the new honor for colin kaepernick courtesy of aclu, your comments are pouring in on this one. and like mother, like daughter,

probe and also the same agent was on the robert mueller special counsel, caught sending antitrump text messages to a colleague, but hillary clinton unfazed in this instead she's taking aim at the senate's newly passed tax plan. >> in the last 24 hours the senate passed this absolutely horrible tax cut plan, okay. now, it's great for donald trump and his family, it's great for the billionaires who support him, this could not be a more blatant and insulting attack on hard-working americans and we can't let them get away with it. rob: so much hysteria around this tax plan but is this renewed probe that we are talking about bigger than hillary clinton thinks? here now to debate that is the spokesperson for america first action pack, katrina pearson and democratic strategists chuck rocha, guys, thanks so much for coming on the program this

morning. we start here with peter, this is the gentleman we are talking about here, part of hillary clinton probe and also in bob mueller probe into president trump and apparently he does not like the president very much and has said so in text messages, katrina, we will start with you, does this surprise you that there appears to be this kind of bias within the fbi? >> no, it doesn't surprise me at all. hillary clinton clearly is trying to stay e ref lent and she's very comfortable and confident that she will continue to get away with all of the mischiefs that she's done. we are talking about mueller team, stacked deep with democrat donors. i see in reason why the house doesn't move forward with contempt charges. the department of justice and fbi have been blocking requests through subpoena it is house issued. we are talking about a body that

needs to be investigated. of course, we have to investigate the in factors at this point because the bias is absolutely clear. this doesn't look good, does it? >> it doesn't, i will remind everybody that the republicans are in control of everything in this city, they have the white house, the house and the senate, if they want to open any kind of investigation, i welcome that, they can do anything they want to. for a democratic consultant it's news to my ears because people are ready to move past hillary clinton. if there was any wrongdoings, they have every right to open up every investigation they want to just like they have done with russia and other things. rob: that's a good point. >> for the first time chuck and i agree on something. that's one of the things that a lot of people have been upset about with attorney general jeff

sessions, if he's not going to appoint special counsel to investigate, the house has no choice with to move forward with contempt. suddenly now they want to make people available to talk to the house after the requests, threatening of being in contempt. that's unacceptable. we are talking about millions of dollars that private citizens to have been paid through hiring attorneys to fight this ridiculous russia case. this has to be justified. rob: let's go back to hillary clinton scandal, before the election, james comey came out and requested or suggested that no charges be filed against him, a lot of people said, that's really out of his purview to make that kind of statement and then you see this kind of behavior as well and starts to make you wonder, was it a preference that donald trump not win the election? >> it's been clarified, rob, if you look at james comey, this guy peter was the same guy that

helped him draft the statement prior to a lot of this information coming out. of course, you have a team right now under mueller who shouldn't even be in charge. rosenstein included. they should have stepped aside and they haven't and now we see that they've been covering for people inside their own team that are bias against the president and they weren't fired and that's the problem here, that individual is still at the fbi. rob: let me go over to chuck, i want to talk about the tax plan real fast, you're probably not a big proponent of it but we have seen a lot of progress in the last ten months, gdp has exploded, we are seeing jobs come back, is this tax plan as bad as the democrats are trying to paint it? >> it is, rob, you made my case government is doing better, the economy is doing really good, you don't give tax cuts when the government is doing good and the job economy is doing good. donald trump talks about doubling the stock market and

gdp growth is growing up. that's not the time you give fat cats in wall street more money. rob: if millions of jobs come back to the united states, that's a bernie sanders-style idea in in and of itself? >> absolutely, if you're going to -- they want to give it back to -- rob: you want to see the guaranty on the paper. >> i would like to see workers get a raise, workers haven't had had a raise in 20 years. >> the reason why it isn't going to well is because of optimism has brought to the country in anticipation of this tax plan. rob: there's definitely economic optimism despite everything else. thank you for coming on this morning. jillian. jillian: u.s. and south korea kicking off largest exercise ever as nuclear threat with nuclear war with north korea emerges. starting today more than 230 fighter jets are taking part in

report had not been fully vetted through our editorial standards process. jillian: but are there consequences enough to counter fake news media, here to weigh in katie, thanks for joining us this morning. >> thanks for having me, happy monday. jillian: the whole thing went down because he did cite a single anonymous source with the report. should we be able to do that, a single anonymous source? >> no, actually, you really shouldn't. i mean, there's got to be editorial standards here. what i would love to know from the whole thing is how you allowed a report that is this serious, something that affects stock markets that has people running because they think that he's going to be impeached, how it got through editorial process and it wasn't fully vetted, did they just let anchors go on willy nilly and talk about on the off chance that it is correct? rob: katie, i want to delineate for people exactly what was said and why it was such a big deal.

you have this investigation for over a year now into collusion with russia, ross' report said that basically that there was a source that said that he told flynn to go russians while they were -- before donald trump -- before the election and it turns out it ended up being after the election, the big difference is there's no evidence of collusion now, basically what he told the country in a special report on abc news is that here is the evidence of collusion and everybody goes crazy talking about imbeachment all of a sudden. it's amazing. >> you're absolutely right. this is a monumental difference between a candidate reaching out to russia and president elect reaching out to russia. one of them is perfectly normal if you're president elect and you're going to become president of the united states and that distinct in this report, that is enormous. it's not just brian ross, what

editorial staff gave the go-ahead. what person said that brian ross, this isn't the first or second or third time something like this has happened with brian ross, at what point does editorial staff trust him to go this without any second or third vetting. jillian: people mick mistakes but this is a very serious mistake. >> it is a big one. jillian: we want to make that clear. president trump sent out a tweet, people who lost money when stock went down 350 points based on false and dishonesty reporting on abc should consider hiring a lawyer and suing for damages this caused millions of dollars. >> i'm not a big fan of trump's tweeting, i personally in issues like this litigation lawsuits he should probably be staying out of it. it does not help the image of the press, fake news of them pushing out stories to attack trump only to attack trump because they don't like him. i think image wise this is a
