but that's okay. we are on the verge of historic victory that cuts taxes for the middle class, for businesses, brings back probably in excess of $4 trillion. as you know we have been at aing $2.5 trillion for years that number has greatly expanded and we'll be bringing back in excess of $4 trillion. it will be put to work in our country. there wil will be a lot of jobs being brought back with that money. right now that money is being spent overseas. it's not going to be spent overseas anymore. the house and senate are now negotiating the final bill. and i cannot wait to sign these giant tax cuts and reforms. i mention tax cuts but it's also reforms. but i'm looking forward to signing it. it will be the largest tax cuts by far in the history of our country. we'll be bringing the business tax from 35% all the way down to 20%. 35 is the highest in the industrialized world. at 20 we are on the very low

side. so we will be very come at thcompetitive. china is 18%. other countries are 15%. others are 23, 24%. primary competitors is actually 23%. so we'll be pretty much below the average and we will be able to compete. and despite all of that, and despite before we even get this massive injection, we have a stock market that has hit record highs, 81 times since our election victory. 81 times. it's at a new high right now. unemployment is at a 17-year low. very shortly it's going to be at 19-year low. we think the numbers are going to continue to go down. and we're also getting in to the pool of the 100 million people that are not working. that pool is now coming back. as you know, that's not considered in the low employment numbers, which means we have a lot of people that want to get to work and that will be working.

consumer confidence is at a 17-year high. we have created nearly 2 million jobs. think of that. 2 million jobs since election day. that's based on consumer confidence. that's based on enthusiasm, every enthusiasm poll, especially for business enthusiasm and job enthusiasm is at an all-time high. that's why companies are coming back into our country. they're opening up new plants. most of you have written about toyota came back. in we have many car companies coming back. in they're going to michigan. they are going to ohio. they're going to states where they want to be. they can go anywhere they want. south carolina, north carolina, but they're going all over our country. they're coming back. in we had many years where we had no new plants. we only had closures. enough to we have openings. that means a lot of jobs. but to get it going in the way i really want, where we have g.d.p. getting up to 4, 5, and even 6% because i

think that's possible, if you look back in your notes you will say when i said 4%, people said that will be years. well, it's turned out i'm right because without the hurricanes this last quarter we would have hit 4%. at 3.3%, which was adjusted previously, this is far beyond what anybody thought we would be at. so we're at 3.3% g.d.p. i see no reason why we don't go to 4%, 5%, and even 6%. and i don't want to go beyond that because then i will be criticized if we don't hit it. but, every time we go up 1 point, just so you understand, one point means $2.5 trillion, means 10 million jobs. so 1 point in g.d.p. is an incredible statement. $2.5 trillion for each point. 10 million jobs for each point. and i think we're going to be going up a lot of points.

so, in order to really keep it going the way i want and the way we all want around this table, we have to get past our taxes. i call it the mixer. it's in conference right now. i call it the mixer. i think when it comes out it's going to be a beautiful mix. there are things that i like better in the senate bill there are things i like better in the house bill. i think when they come out, we have some new additions and we will have the best of each. i think we will have a fantastic tax bill there are very very few people that aren't benefiting by it there is that tiny little sliver. we will try to take care of even that very small group of people that just, through circumstances, maybe don't get the full benefit of what we're doing. but the middle class gets a tremendous benefit. and business, which is jobs, gets a tremendous benefit. we'll be giving the cabinet today an update on national security and strategy. we'll also receive briefings on the latest developments

in the tax cut negotiations. and administrator mcmahon, who has done a fantastic job at small business administration, where is linda? linda did a really fantastic job is helping small businesses in record numbers. and they have needed help really because of the hurricanes. the hurricanes were devastating. as i said, g.d.p., if we didn't have the hurricanes, we would have hit just about four this last -- but we had, as you probably know, and probably everybody remembers, we had 5 really bad ones. and we have a lot of businesses that have been severely hurt. and linda mcmahon has done an incredible job in helping those businesses out through the small business. so thank you very much, linda. so we're in a great period in this country. jobs are coming back. unemployment is low. business has never been stronger. but we have a military that we have to build. i want to thank general

mattis for doing such a great job with respect to isis. he has knocked the hell out of them. of course, i have made it possible with what i have let you do, i think. >> yes, sir. >> wouldn't you say? >> absolutely. >> he has done a fantastic job. he and the military have done a fantastic job with isis. they are essentially knocked out of syria, knocked out of iraq. that's the good news. the bad news they go all over the place. i will tell you where we won't want them. we don't want them here. we don't want them in our country. tell them to stay wherever the hell they are. we don't want them coming in our country. they do go back into some countries. we don't want them to go into our country so wear watching that closely. i would like to wish everyone a really great seasonal. i would like to wish everyone a merry christmas and happy new year. we have a big announcement coming up at 1:00. perhaps a couple of you have will be there.

maybe not. announcement concerning the palestinians in the middle east. i think it's long overdue. many presidents have said they want to do something and they didn't do it. whether it's through courage or they changed their mind, i can't tell you. a lot of people have said we have to do something and they didn't do it. so we will be talking about that something at 1:00. and i look forward to seeing you then. thank you all very much. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. >> peace process. >> we'll talk about in a little while. thank you very much. [inaudible question] >> it could happen. the democrats are really looking at something that is very dangerous for our country. they are looking at shutting down. they want to have illegal immigrants in many cases, people that we don't want in our country. they want to have illegal immigrants pouring in to our country, bringing with them

crime, tremendous amounts of crime. we don't want to have that. we want to have a great, beautiful crime-free country. and we want people coming into our country. but we want them to come on our basis. and that's why we are being so careful with our process and our screening. and as you know we had a tremendous victory the other day in the supreme court with the ban. got quite a bit of attention. probably not as much as attention as it deserved. but we had tremendous -- that was a tremendous victory for this country. not a victory for me. it was a victory for our country. the democrats maybe will want to shut down the country because they want people flowing into our country. and i want people coming into our country, but i want to vet those people. and i want to vet them very carefully. because we don't want to have radical islamic terrorism in this country. and we don't want to have crime in this country. you look at what just happened in san francisco, that was a disgrace.

and as you know, the federal government just got involved and did a great thing. because they are going to take that at least to the next step. they did a great thing by getting involved. so, thank you very much. i'll see you all at 1:00. >> julie: see you at 1:00 says the president wrapping up a cabinet meeting there the president taking the opportunity to tout the economy, talking about the unemployment rate hitting 17 year low among other things and selling the tax overhaul. he spent a lot of time on that. saying he likes things about the house plan. he likes things about the senate plan. he thinks we are going to get the best of each his words. he also said the middle class will get a tremendous benefit as well as business. he forecast four, five, even 6% g.d.p. growth is possible. he ended by saying merry christmas to everyone. touted that big announcement coming up at 1:00 p.m. eastern time on jerusalem. we have that for you.

>> harris: the president speaking about 11 and a half minutes. while that was going on this is happening. fox news alert within the last few minutes or so. at least seven women, all democrats, and bob casey on the hill calling for fellow democratic senator al franken to resign over allegations of sexual misconduct. earlier today a former democratic congressional aide accused al franken of trying to forcibly kiss her. in 2006 before he became a u.s. senator. we have much more on this story that is breaking this hour on capitol hill later on outnumbered. ♪ >> sandra: fox news alert, we are awaiting an announcement from president trump as he just mentioned declaring that the u.s. recognizes jerusalem as the capital of israel and plans to eventually move the american embassy there from tel aviv. we are getting mixed reaction from around the world. from cheers to warnings that this change in decades of u.s. policy may set back the peace process and provoke

violence. this is outnumbered. i'm sandra smith in here today. harris faulkner co-host of after the bell on fox business melissa frances. the editor of town hall.com katie pavlich and #one lucky guy former campaign manager for donald trump and fox news contributor david bossie is here and he is also the co-author of let trump be trump. the inside story of his rise to the presidency and he is outnumbered. there is just something about the way you say that and it's catching on. your book. >> it is. let trump be trump. it's a great story. corey lewandowski and i he was campaign manager for 18 months. i came in the last couple months. this is the inside story of the campaign from beginning to end and including a little bit about the transition. we are excited we launched it yesterday. >> we look forward to your perspective next few minutes. we are awaiting the announcement president trump next few hours. is he going to recognize jerusalem as the capital of

israel today. multiyear process from moving the u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. protesters are already in the streets. palestinian factions are calling for three days of rage starting today. the pope and the kings of jordan and saudi arabia have all spoken out against the move. they're concerned it will be a road block to peace. counselor to the president kellyanne conway says trump is just keeping his word. >> the difference between president trump and past presidents because they have all promised the same thing with respect to moving the embassy to jerusalem is that this president actually will do it. he has talked to mr. abbas. he has talked to mr. netanyahu. he has talked to many different leaders across the world. but he has most importantly talked to his national security and foreign policy team. he promised that he is delivering on it. >> sandra: denny heck a democrat from washington shares his concern. >> i think it's going to

both literal little and figuratively blow up the peace process in the middle east. we know it's a bad idea because every ally and friend we have is telling us it's a bad idea. it is specifically a bad idea for two reasons. number one going to engender violence in the short-term. the second and more important reason why this is a terrifically bad idea, it is tantamount to the united states getting up from the bargaining table and walking away. >> sandra: chief white house correspondent john roberts is outside the white house where the president just wrapped his cabinet meeting. john? >> it's pretty safe to say here at the white house that president trump thinks this is a terrific idea. it's one that successive u.s. presidents for decades have been promising to do when they were either candidates or members of congress. remember gerald ford when he weighs a congressman in 1972 said let's move the embassy. then when they become president they take quite a different tact. since 1995 they kept signing that six month waiver that

delays the move of the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. now president trump bucking tradition over the last few decades and saying he is going to be the u.s. president that finally moves the embassy. the white house in a preannouncement briefing last night said that the president in declaring jerusalem to be the capital of israel is merely reflecting history and the fact that jerusalem has been the capital of israel back in abe shent times. in modern dimes, of course, it's the seat of the government. as did the peace process which so many critics say he is go to blow up by making this announcement. committed to a two state between israel and the palestinians with jerusalem as the capital of those respective nations. rex tillerson at a nato summit said. this listen here. >> the president is very committed to the middle east peace process. he has a team that he put in place almost immediately upon entering the white house. that team has been working

very diligently on new approaches to the peace process. they have been engaged in a quiet way with many in the region around that process. >> the president spent much of yesterday engaging with leaders in the middle east to get their reaction. let's put up a graphic on screen so you can see some of the people he talked to. benjamin netanyahu, prime minister of israel. mahmoud abbas, the president palestinian authority. king abdullah of jordan. el-sisi of egypt and king salman of saudi arabia. they all publicly with the exception of netanyahu expressed their dismay at this idea that the embassy was going to be moved. they thought it would be a grave mistake. some of them and could definitely affect the peace process. at the nato summit that we were talking about that the secretary of state was speaking at a short time ago, turkey's foreign minister weighed. in listen to what he said. >> going to be a grave mistake. it will not bring --

[inaudible] >> how will the muslim world respond? >> not only muslim world but i think the whole world is reacting. and the whole world is against it decision. >> will you tell mr. tillerson that? >> i already told him and i'm going to repeat it. >> i already told him and i will tell him again. the white house says this actually could smooth the way for the peace process it takes off the table an issue that was going to be left for the final status. sandra, safe to say even if the president makes the announcement this afternoon that he is going to begin the process. this is something that will be measured in years, at least four. maybe as long as 10. sandra? >> sandra: safe to say based on guidance from the white house that announcement could come any moment now. >> it will. 1:00. >> sandra: john roberts. thank you. david bossie is on the couch. did you go back to kellyanne saying look this is a deal that donald trump broadcast on the campaign trail. this was a campaign promise. >> the president was very clear throughout the

campaign that this was going to be something that he promised. this is going to be a promise that he is going to keep. i actually was in israel and in jerusalem this summer. the people there were begging for this move. people in israel want this to happen. and so the president is doing the right thing. and as john was reporting, this is something that past presidents have promised for decades. he is the first person once again as a leader going to do what he says. >> obviously, katie, this move is not coming without its criticism. >> katie: which is overblown and ridiculous. all these democrats coming out like dianne feinstein saying she concerned about what's going to happen. she voted for this to happen. the senate can't agree on anything and they voted unanimously to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. it's important to look at why the white house is doing this and what the terms are really. this is simply a recognition of reality. the prime minister of israel

is based in jerusalem. the in jerusalem. history shows the capital of israel is jerusalem. the idea by now saying by issuing this recognition this is impediment to peace and stall the peace process. what peace process are they talking about? and by the way how has not moving it for 20 years which is when this was talked about in the 1990s under bill clinton led to peace. we have been talking about it for a long time. we haven't moved the embassy. now we are. we are hearing the same argument over and over again about how it's complicated. that's an excuse to not actually do the right thing. there are actually people who think it will help the peace process. you look at walid phares was talking about the fact that this sets a time line. it's going to be five to six years before we would ever see an embassy built, finished there at all it sets a time line to say let's make an agreement about how we are going to divide up even east and west in the city of jerusalem. there is nothing to stop others from getting on board and maybe it gets the

process going. that's optimistic. i don't know if that's true. that's just one of the opinions that's out there. >> harris: so right after the president moved into the white house, he did the same thing that other presidents have done every six months. and he signed the waiver for the actual tel aviv u.s. embassy to remain open so that it is open and it is enumerated in the funding. he knows he is going to have to continue 20 do that throughout the five, six whatever it takes he got promised. broken campaign promise. he gets to do things he has to do. keep one funded because people have to have a place to go to work while you work on the other place. > >> sandra: we will leave it there we will hear the president declare jerusalem arrests the capital of israel at 1 p.m. eastern time. we will bring that to you live as soon as he begins speaking. meanwhile, sexual harassment on capitol hill plaguing both parties and on the democratic side now eight democrat senators, seven

people are sick of. and it's why they thought the clintons kind of were untouchable. the clintons, you know, justice would never be served on hillary clinton. and now the american people. they see why. >> harris: melissa? >> melissa: eick looking at a letter from ron johnson chairman of the committee on homeland security and chuck grassley the committee for the judiciary asking the same questions that i and a lot of us asked on the couch yesterday. they want to know when did they become aware of these text messages, the office of the inspector general. they want to know, you know, did they. >> harris: and how by the way? >> melissa: special counsel mueller how did they come up in the details. we are not the only ones that do not know the details how this came about. >> harris: can i ask something without going down a tawdry road. i don't mean to. but according to the reporting he was exchanges text messages with fellow member at the fbi with whom he was having an affair. >> a relationship. >> harris: i don't know they call her a mistress. i don't know that that means

it was a relationship. >> outside of his marriage. i understand he is married. >> bribed for behavior by someone who might receive or see those text messages because they are being shared about a current investigation. >> katie: this is unprofessional and quite stupid to be sending any type of text messages to anybody when you are on a special counsel. > your judgment is -- exactly. >> melissa: i think the most important piece of this whole entire thing this is the fbi agent to whom cheryl mills, huma abedin lied to saying that they didn't know anything about hillary clinton's secret email server. then emails were produced where they talked about the hardware. so there is no doubt there is proof that they lied to the fbi to this person who is now. >> comey, too. >> harris: move out of that line of accountability. that's the question. that's a huge question.

>> katie: one of the biggest things came out this week changing of the language gross negligence to carelessness. he changed the language. facts james comey started drafting an exoneration letter months before hillary clinton was even interviewed. before cheryl mills was interviewed. before her inner circle who mostly got immunity was interviewed which by the way meant when they actually did that it wasn't taped. they just happened to not tape it so we have no record of it. >> harris: we are now moments away from a major statement from the white house. the president set to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and move our over the next few years moving our u.s. embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. extremely sensitive moment. the president's remarks could have impact on peace in the middle east some say. that's ahead. stay with us.

i love you, but sometimes you stink. febreze air effects doesn't just mask, it cleans away odors. because the things you love the most can stink. and try febreze small spaces to clean away odors for up to 30 days. breathe happy with febreze.

more outnumbered in just a moment. harris what's coming up on a busy outnumbered overtime in a just a my moments. >> harris: we have been waiting for the president to make history next hour. officially recognizing jerusalem as israel's capital and directing that our u.s. embassy be moved there from tel aviv. palestinians are already declaring three days of

rage. many protesting at this point. israel's former ambassador to the united nations dan gillerman and our own former u.n. ambassador john bolton will join me to talk about what it all means for the possibility of middle east peace. sandra? >> sandra: all right, harris. thank you. as we await this announcement from president trump, let's talk a bit more about it. huge news. to you first on that. this will be something that we talk about not just this week or today. but prefer years on end this will be o. posed by factions. hear complaints from democrats about this move and how it will cause concern and problems, let's not foyer get. unanimously. president verifying the law. >> sandra: some have been extremely critical of this move. >> these are people that don't agree with anything that happens in the middle east. they have not been a force for good for middle east

peace forever. >> katie: sips 1948 since israel became a country since the beginning. >> for them to say i don't want. this i'm sorry, if they were good stewards of the peace process i would respect their opinion a little bit more. they have really little to say in this matter. this president is only doing what he promised and what other presidents have promised. >> that is an interesting point push came to shove. they back down from the potential problems that it undoubtedly creates. other people say it could facilitate a peace process. by setting a time line and saying on this date we're moving the embassy so in advance of that come together and make a deal about how we are going to divide things up. it doesn't preclude a two state solution. it doesn't really dictate anything other than this move is coming. >> katie: they have been saying they are very concerned about violence occurring from the other side. so-called partner and peace

trying to work with the violence is the automatic reaction from the palestinian hamas led coalition day of rage which they do all the time regardless of the embassy not being moved and jerusalem not being recognized. >> those are the same people who have been leaders in this so-called peace process for 30 or 40 years. same negotiators been involved in a broken process. they are not getting anything done for their people. the people in gaza. the palestinians. >> sandra: we are awaiting important announcement from outnumbered more in just a moment.wo

>> thanks to david bossie, it is good to see you and lovely to have you today. the book is -- >> "let trump be trump." go to your local bookstore. >> sandra: what is letting trump be trump, telus and a second sentence are two. >> david: it is about him running his campaign. >> sandra: should he keep tweeting? >> david: one of the great things about bypassing the mainstream media, look what abc did. >> sandra: i set a sentence or

two, that was a little bit more. we will be back tomorrow at noon eastern, here is harris. >> harris: big announcement ahead, a fox news alert. president trump on the verge of making that announcement that will mark a huge shift in middle east policy. and it is not without controversy. let's go "outnumbered overtime," i'm harris faulkner. all eyes on the white house, specifically the diplomatic reception room where president trump will announce at any moment that the united states will recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel. that will begin efforts to move america's industry there from tel aviv, a decision reversing decades of u.s. policy. a number of middle east leaders already expressing their outrage over it but the white house says the president will make a decision which he feels is in the best interest of america. press secretary sarah sanders. >> secretary sanders: he did speak with the number of leaders

this morning and he is going to continue to have conversations with relevant stakeholders but he will make what he believes is the best decision for the united states. >> this is going to be a big deal. for decades presidential candidates have set as part of their administration are part of their agenda they would move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. it's been u.s. law since 1995 that every six months the president has to sign a waiver deferring action on that law about president trump will announce in the next few minutes that despite the fact that other presidents have said as candidates or congressmen if you look at gerald ford in 1972 that they were going to move it and did something else when they became president, he is going to begin the steps to move the embassy. with the caveat that this is going to take a long time. yesterday we had a briefing from the national security council, they said finding the land
