tv   Outnumbered  FOX News  December 15, 2017 9:00am-10:00am PST

9:00 am
>> jon: happy friday. thanks for joining us. >> melissa: "outnumbered" starts right now. >> harris: fox news alert. the g.o.p. says its final bill is complete and no more changes will be made this hour. members of the house and senate tax conference. signing off on the final language of the compromise bill. now in question. whether they have all the votes they need to pass it, do they? and then handed president trump his first major legislative victory. this is "outnumbered." i am harris faulkner. today is sandra smith, katie pavlich, rachel campos-duffy, and today's "outnumbered" guest is gopac chairman david avella. he's outnumbered.
9:01 am
i gave you a full name. gopac. >> rachel: that's what we say in wisconsin, go pack go. >> david: go tax cuts because i'm we can all spend more for christmas. >> katie: if it gets done or later. it will make a difference. >> harris: we are ready. do you want to talk about this? republicans are one step closer to tax reform, the g.o.p. says. nor more text changes are coming. the text of the bill being released today, but when it comes to support for the bill, there are a few republicans who are still called "wild cards." including senator marco rubio of florida. >> they need to increase the fundable part of the child tax credit. if they can figure out a way to add to the $1100 figure, i will support the bill.
9:02 am
>> harris: president trump is responding to rubio's concerns about the child tax credit is sounding hopeful about the tax plan. >> the child tax credit, just so you understand, the democrats have done nothing in terms of children, in terms of child tax credit. we are putting in a tremendous child tax credit, and is increasing on a daily basis. it's going to do very, very well. i think we are going to be in a position to pass something as early as next week, which will be monumental. >> harris: that was just about an hour or so before president was going to speak to the fbi academy. now peter doocy is live from capitol hill. >> we just hit the deadline for republicans on that tax conference to come to an offense just off the house floor to put their name onto this bill that they now hope will pass the house and the senate. it's a combination of both parts. i heard senator rob portman say it's more like the senate bill
9:03 am
for procedural reasons. at any rate, now they need to get it through both chambers if it is going to pass. it is closed. there can be no more edits. that might be a problem because senator marco rubio is still upset that changes that have been made to the child tax credit aren't enough. he just fired off a trio of tweets that say this. "the working class is always forgotten in d.c. we need to add more tax cuts for working class parents, especially those earning $20,000 to $50,000. it doubles the credit from 1,000 to 2,000, but for millions of working-class families, only 55% of the 2,000 and is available to them. can only support bill if percentage of the tax credit available to working-class parents is increased to a percentage meaningfully higher than 55%." the rubio position for now is a
9:04 am
very public know, and his colleagues say that they are not frustrated with him, at least that's what they say when the cameras are rolling. >> marco has a passion for being sure that the child tax credit really works for families of that maybe are not paying income tax or payroll taxes, and that's why he is insistent on the refund ability. i respect that. i think he is looking out for the people we are all trying to help. in the end, the bill will be improved. i think we will get the support of our republican colleagues. i hope some democrats will take a look at it. it is tax cuts for middle-class families. it also makes our businesses and workers competitive again. >> we didn't see any democrats, our goal from the conference room where they work signing onto the tax bill that is now final, at least for now. that doesn't mean the democrats came away empty-handed. they were able to stop republicans from repealing the
9:05 am
johnson amendment. the johnson amendment says that churches cannot be politically involved and cannot be involved with endorsing candidates, things like that. partisan politics. that is not going to be repealed. democrats say they are going to be happy about that because he thought it would be a way for republicans republican backers to pump money into politics without having their name on it. democrats are happy about that. republicans are saying is just a way that the irs is limiting free speech. >> harris: a great detail there at the end. the overarching point, we are still talking about senator rubio today, and he obviously is benefiting from some longer period peter doocy, thank you very much. david, it's interesting because the text was close at about 1045 last night. anything that rubio or anybody else we talking about today, they mean it when they say closed tax. what is that me and? is it a political move? he's not going to really let
9:06 am
this legislation come down on this? >> david: welcome to the legislative process. bills can be changed up into the time that there is a boat. >> harris: even though they say the text is closed. >> rachel: rules are just suggestions. >> david: every meeting that i've been to at the white house talking about tax reform and the message has been very clear. the president wants us to help the middle class, he wants us to have companies ranked in offshore money, he wants us to be able to create jobs. this bill does that. it's essential that republicans pass this bill. a second part is equally important is that republicans get out there and promote what we have done with this tax bill. coverage has been completely -- it's bad, it only helps the wealthiest. if everything you hear about this bill is a negative, of course you are going to have a negative opinion. >> sandra: i don't think it's the negative from dams, it's a lack of excitement that we have
9:07 am
seen even from republicans on this, david. why haven't you seen them jubilant? why are they treating this or selling this like it is the absolute best plan? >> david: we have to get a final bill. we could be better cheerleaders for what we are doing because there is a lot of good in this bill. for all those folks who don't want to pay for a health care plan, we will repeal that. we will give a child tax credit. the bill look to help induce double the standard deductions. >> sandra: is there more wiggle room on the corporate tax rate? >> david: to be determined. >> sandra: that would help you pay for what rubio is talking about. it might make a dent more on that. >> david: there is an aspect of this is not being talked about, and out the deep regulations that trump administration is doing. we are looking at maybe $8 billion. we will be able to encourage more innovation for hybrid batteries and cars. we are looking at doing gundy
9:08 am
regulations where you have it easier for small businesses to . there are a lot of deep regulations that are being taken help every day americans and it's going to save our government lots of money. >> rachel: i think the best cheerleader has been the president. every time he's out there talking about it, he is exciting in saying this is a christmas present for you. maybe the republicans could take a page out of that. there's a lot to be excited about. tax reform is hard and that's why hasn't been done in 30 years. we are on the precipice of doing this. the whole idea is, we are going to get individual families and businesses more of their money back because they are better at spending it than the federal government. i support, not just because i have eight kids, i do support what marco rubio is doing. president trump rode into the white house as a champion of the working class. this is something that helps low
9:09 am
income people that have been battered. >> harris: that was the question that sandra had asked. >> rachel: we have to pay for it. also, the economy is very dynamic. >> harris: i'm going to pump this up about the place where it is now $2 trillion. >> rachel: there working-class and poor families that are investing in future taxpayers, and i think they deserve a break. >> harris: speaking of michael rubio who is working with mike lee to get this right, connecticut carroll who is a spokes woman had not seen the final text but it's fair to say that working families will get more tax relief than the final bill. it looks like they got what they wanted. how they will pay for it is another question. that brings up the big issue that wasn't discussed in tax rate from and that was spending cuts. my concern going into next year, this i hope will pass, it will be great for american families. mostly everyone will keep more of their own money and save or
9:10 am
spend it. if this does boost the economy to the growth that they say, will they then be more hesitant to cut government spending? or will they go now is the time to do it? eventually they will have to do it. that debt is a problem for the future generation. >> harris: the government spending you'd have to go over now is entitlement. we heard being floated yesterday, and of course we will have to see the substantial yes or no on this about speaker paul ryan retiring next year, one of his main next points would be entitlements, according to the report. >> sandra: that something leaving out of the conversation, that i think david will plug this, talking about how to pay for and growth. but, i will challenge up from this aspect. right now, the forecast is showing 3% growth. to me, you have republicans in control.
9:11 am
you are going to pass tax reform, that to me, we are only going to 3% growth? i don't understand why this tax reform isn't going to lead to more. the president had mentioned numbers like 5% or 6% growth. why are we settling for 3% growth? >> david: you take what you can get, and this is what the republicans can pass. you make an excellent point, and harris makes an excellent point. it is not just a tax cut or growth. it's also being very serious about spending cuts. the white house has been very clear, they will do a big push on welfare reform next year, which will continue to help with spending. harris also mentioned speaker ryan talked about social security reform and make them stronger and more viable to the government to be able to pay for decades down the road. >> katie: the stock market likes it. we look at another record today. it keeps going. >> harris: remember early on,
9:12 am
the top of we are going to lower the amount in your 401(k)? can you imagine how much money people are making in their 401(k)s now, and how much of that argument that one around? how important it was to have that argument. to get that off the table, and the president weighed in on that. democrats want to know why anti-trump texts were ahead of testimonies by rod rosenstein. before the investigation is complete. they suggest those text messages were released to help the president. is that possible? we will talk about all of this. a demand for answers as we learn more about those edits the top fbi agent, peter strauch, made to james comey's memo exonerating hillary clinton. he is the one who sent those antitrust text before he was moved to back removed from muller's team. do they have a special set of rules or special treatment for
9:13 am
hillary clinton. speaker we will rebuild the fbi and be bigger and better than never. it is said when you look at those documents that how they've done that is a really, really disgraceful, and you have a lot a very angry people that are seeing it.

♪ >> sandra: president trump speaking to graduates at the fbi academy in quantico virginia today pay less than two weeks after saying the agency's reputation is in tatters. this comes amid growing questions over the fbi's handling of the hillary clinton email investigation. newly revealed documents show fbi officials watered down former fbi director james comey's memo exonerating clint them. among these officials making those edits was peter strzok who is the missed from the rush of for antitrust text. now ron johnson demanding answers from the fbi about those edits on clinton's actions. including changing the legally charged, you've heard this one, grossly negligent to extremely
9:18 am
careless, and changing language of infiltration of clinton's emails was reasonably likely rather than saying it was nearly possible. also, a new one. a reference to the sheer volume of classified info transmitted on clinton's server was edited out completely. president trump, while leaving the white house earlier, slamming the email probe admitted these new revelations. >> when you look at the hillary clinton investigation, i've been saying it for a long time. that was a rigged system, folks. that was a rig to system. when you look at what they did with respect to the hillary clinton investigation, it was rigged. and it there's never been anything like it in this country that we've ever found before. it's a very. >> sandra: the president, david, certainly making his thoughts clear there clear there. >> david: absolutely.
9:19 am
what we are really learning is were they trying to influence an election. it's also why the president's speech today was so important. there are thousands of men and women at the fbi trying to do a good job to bring justice, but you it got infiltrated with obama administration and appointees wanted to use it for their personal and political agendas, unlike any time since jay edgar huger was trying to influence elections. >> sandra: when you learn about these edits, the one we learned about for a while, then you learn about the new ones, clearly showing that that language was watered down, you wonder if anyone could be held accountable? ron johnson is calling on getting more info about who change those edits. >> we've seen the fbi. we are losing confidence in the institutions.
9:20 am
i have no idea why the fbi just doesn't come clean and provide this information of congress. what are they trying to hide? >> sandra: who are the people responsible for changing the wording? >> rachel: if you ever wonder if president trump does his own twitter, he ended it with "sad." he writes many of them himself. i think the fbi should reopen the investigation. it's obvious to anybody that it was biased, it that the fix was in. we need to bring back people's confidences and institutions. >> harris: is it enough to spend millions of dollars? is it enough adding the trust back? i don't think there'll be accountability. who would you do to hillary clinton? for grandma at home out of politics right now. >> rachel: we should all be treated equally under the law
9:21 am
>> harris: is it back to bring trust going after her? is it worth it? >> rachel: i think so. >> katie: one thing you look at the detail that was changed, the level of legal jeopardy for hillary clinton decreases significantly with every single at it. she brought up that might be an interesting connection to the legal department and the fbi connects back to lisa page was exchanging these text messages. there will be questions about whether they should be reopen. my question from the beginning of this was one hillary clinton was exonerated was, how did not a single person around hillary clinton indicted for what went on? huma abedin was printing out classified information on a printer and had it sitting on the printer and handing it to anybody. >> harris: she was honest about the --
9:22 am
>> katie: to be important for the president today to go to the fbi and had the backs of the agents they are. when it comes to broadcast versus people on the ground, it is a repeated issue appears before the guys on the field are probably the ones who exposed to these emails betweenr strzok and his lover. it's a very different from the appointees at the leadership level. when the president went there, he was trying to make that point. i'm criticizing the fbi but not you. >> sandra: when it comes to accountability, there is fault unknown other than james comey, director of the fbi that time. >> harris: i want to bring this up. i know we are talking about the fbi, but the senior doj official bruce or was demoted from his title, as we know after it was revealed that he had meetings with gp officials.
9:23 am
his wife actually works perfusion gps purity will be on the hill on monday, we are just learning for our group before tl committee. i don't have a time on that. that's our reporting here. >> rachel: this whole thing stinks, it really does. >> sandra: we will leave it there. meanwhile, democrats are hitting back against claims of anti-trumped by a state of the big issue during a hearing earlier this week when rod rosenstein was grilled against the antitrust text between fbi agent peter strzok and an fbi lawyer he was said to be having an affair with. mueller remove strzok from his team when he learned of those messages. they were released ahead of rosenstein's hearing. not democrats are saying they were put out there to hurt the credibility of moore's probe and help the president. a few of them are asking them to explain why they were released.
9:24 am
they write, "a spokeswoman for the department suggested that they evaluated the messages to be sure they could be released under both ethical and legal standards. who at the department made this evaluation? they were discovered during a probe launched by the justice department inspector general after the request of democrats concerned about possible anti-clinton bias at the fbi. that investigation is not complete. the justice department office of public affairs said there were no legal or ethical concerns releasing the text to congress or the media. did we learn a lot from those. >> david: we sure did. justice needs to be pursued. all of this, as rachel said, operate under the same law. at the same time, you hear the democrats screaming about the emails getting out. for most americans, democrats are saying emails got leaked, republicans are saying that they are trying to discredit.
9:25 am
it's all craziness that comes out of washington. that's what the president's message was so important today, that we are going after border security and having success at it. we are going after gangs. there is a very positive message for the fbi and department of justice to be able to promote out there and hopefully, all of this investigation while important doesn't actually cover up the good work that's being done. >> sandra: you look back at the timeline of this and to know that the fbi found out that these text messages, they saw enough to know enough. they took strzok off the investigation. i believe they moved him to the hr department where he still works today within the fbi, but they took him off the investigation because of these texts. should we have known about that? >> katie: special counsel robert mueller would argue, i don't want to speak for him, he has been very specific about
9:26 am
what does not come out on his investigation. he's trying to keep a lid on the personnel decisions that he's making within the investigation. the leaks that are coming out, we don't know who they are coming from. i'm not something we should have known about. he would argue that the policy is not to talk about it. agency policy is to not talk about investigation as they are ongoing, and he would say it's a detrimental to the process. >> rachel: representative devin nunes knew that strzok was taken off the investigation and was asked. they stonewalled him. the representatives in congress, i know they all get a bad name these days, but they are the representatives of the people. the people get a deserve to kno know. just as it represented her johnsons said in that clip you showed, what do you have to hide? if it so on the up and up, why are you hiding some from the people? >> harris: maybe there was
9:27 am
something at the time we didn't know. they knew it was between two agents, and that's problematic. they figured because of the relationship that was outside the marriage of one of those agents, that there might've been a lot of material between the two of them. the were not just coworkers. they were texting by the thousands. that's a lot of information to put in the interpublic. >> sandra: we will see a lot more because they had a -- they are very good at getting what they asked for when it comes to doing it. >> harris: that we need to know if there were more like them inside? >> rachel: that's exactly the case. the relationship with comey already put him at a disadvantage. i've never seen an investigator who is best friends with a guy at the center of all of these things. he has an obligation. he had an obligation to make the investigators that he hired to be part of this group to be as unbiased as possible.
9:28 am
he's done a terrible job. he's tainted his own investigation. if there's a lack of credibility and that investigation, it's his fault. >> katie: to his credit, i know people who are asked and submit resumes, they were asked to's applied to the special counsel. everyone applied. the issue is wasn't used to to get the dossier and all of that to spy on the trump administration -- not the administration, the transition team going into the white house. >> sandra: after it's revealed that a little-known house agency is reportedly helping lawmakers settle or credit say cover up those claims. all courtesy of the taxpayer. we will talk about that. your insurance company won't replace the full value of your totaled new car.

>> sandra: big news on capitol hill, tax reform is progressing, this from house committee kevin brady. they have gotten all parties together on the tax bill, conference reports that the entire text of the bill will be posted at 5:30 p.m. this afternoon when the house comes into session. he says he does not expect any problem with the bill getting through the senate. when asked about absences or reservations by senator marco rubio. 5:30 p.m., the entire text of that bill will be posted and we will get a look. >> harris: that was really interesting. new fallout on capitol hill after texas congressman blake farenthold announced he won't seek reelection next year and made it new sexual harassment allegations. they are now questioning if they
9:34 am
use taxpayer money to investigate a complaint involving his office last year. and then failed to make the results public. he reportedly advised members. political reports "new revelations that there is a separate office facilitating and paying for sexual harassment investigations with little transparency and a little oversight wrinkled critics of the handling of the sexual harassment" here without established procedures and a commitment to transparency, the office may be playing more of a role of covering up then revealing them. where is this going? >> david: where it needs to go is we need to get rid of these funds that are paying for harassment lawsuits. we have been talking all morning or this hour about rebuilding credibility. members of congress can use a campaign committee and set up a legal defense funds and use their own personal funds. >> sandra: secretary state
9:35 am
rex tillerson speaking at the u.n. >> we must take responsibility for these tension since they alone can solve these tensions. speak out your excellency, mr. tillerson, for your statement. >> sandra: rex tillerson was just speaking at the united nations. obviously at a time where a lot is going on. rex tillerson continues to face a lot of challenges at the state department at this very moment. if you begin speaking again, we will dip back in and listen. can >> harris: can i add one thg to this? he's calling on russia and china to get more involved with north korea. he saying something that is very strong at a time we know the president was also talking with president putin of russia, and they were having niceties exchanged. it's a little bit of interesting diplomacy going on. i guess you could call it bad, good caulk
9:36 am
that's what he is making news today. >> david: as we were talking about the sexual harassment on the hill, that fund it needs to be gotten rid of. it is one way that republicans could immediately start restoring credibility with the americans and their government. members of congress who are found guilty to pay for it themselves. that in past tax cuts. >> harris: it's interesting because one of the things we've been talking about off-camera sometimes and during commercials is how you don't feel like there's enough talk about tax cuts, considering the fact that it will potentially happen and go away. we look at all these other issues. >> david: i try to do my part. >> rachel: it's such an important point purity have democrats looking at this economy doing so well and give credit to obama, somehow, for this. if republicans don't get out and talk about these tax cuts and
9:37 am
remind people how miserable those obama eight years were, it actually brings more economic growth, they will not change the demographic of the millennials right now, who think socialism is totally fine. >> katie: i saw a great headline the other day about how 26-year-olds are having trouble falling off of their parents health insurance. republicans haven't done a very good job of countering the fact that big government has actually caused millennials to think that that is their only option because it they had been working in a way. he came into a workforce when the time went jobs were available. >> harris: you brought up tax cuts and we were talking about some of the changes on the hill was sexual harassment. if anybody wants to take a final stab at that. >> katie: the more we keep digging on this issue, the more we find out there's another office that is covering this. it comes down to the lack of transparency. you talk about the funding going
9:38 am
away. when you go back to how many of these things were paid out, they are not getting paid out three separate funds, they are getting paid out through the budget of the members who were engaging in these payouts. there is still a lot of work to do. capitol hill has only been dealing with this seriously for two months now, and will be talking about this a whole lot more. >> harris: i remember across the iowa john conyers who is now exited stage left, that was potential with a $27,000 that was paid to one of those women as well. questions about an obama era uranium deal that raises suspicions of pay to play involving the clinton foundation. they claimed for years that they were stonewalled in their search for the truth, and out they may have some answers. the stunning revelation coming up. it's ok that everyone ignores me while i drive.

♪ >> katie: new questions about obama era uranium deal about russians who donate heavily to the clinton foundation. they suggest that the obama administration did was not forthcoming over the uranium one deal, specifically when it came to lessening the company to export uranium. the top republican senator looking into the deal said he was repeatedly misled by the obama administration about a russian company's ability to export that material. earlier this week, he sent a letter to a chairwoman of the nuclear regulatory commission demanding answers to what he questioned in the uranium one investigation. whether the obama administration intentionally misled congress on the uranium's exports. the chair were in responding, "i would note as your letter makes clear, the responses you have received have not fully depicted
9:44 am
the complexity of the issue." the obama administration misleading congress on the issue? >> rachel: want a publicist and says misleading, it means you line. this week, "the new york times" did a whole thing on how many times at trump lyda versus how many times obama lied, and there was conclusion, obama didn't lie much. i'd rather have a president that lies about the crowd size and about bomb making material that can make it into the hands of terrorists. by the way, again, "new york times" in 2015 noted that shortly after this deal was made, people associated with this deal made donations to the clinton foundation. it smelt to high heaven and needs to be investigated. >> katie: harris, my question to you about accountability, the clinton foundation is no longer around really. is it going to get anywhere? >> harris: this is different though. this is a situation of this foundation that took money from countries that don't treat women
9:45 am
well. that would be bad enough. this has to do is national security. since there are some conflicting reports about how much uranium, what it was used for, i think it bears a closer look at, just so we know the answers are. if something was really done wrong and criminally, that exposes our national security. we need to know about that. the accountability level is a little bit different than what we talked about previously with the other issues. >> katie: the timeline here is really interesting. they sent a letter to the obama administration in 2010. here we are almost 2018, eight years later, what does that mean when it comes to the questions that haven't been answered? >> david: there is no downside to having an investigation and finding out what really happened. you all have hits on the crux of what this all means. the implications it has on the united states that we gave perhaps as much of a one fifth of our nuclear reserve to russia? we don't know what they will do

regime. whether it's possible for them to even sustain an economy if they continue to pad their own. we will continue our diplomatic efforts. those options remain open until other things may foreclose the diplomatic options. with that, i will stop there and think we can take a couple questions. >> reporter: thank you, secretary tillerson. we have heard a lot from you this morning about north korea. i would like to ask you about mainland peered earlier this week, two journals were arrested and their whereabouts are unknown. what is the u.s. government doing to pressure me and mark for their release and are they considering further sanctions? >> our local representatives at myanmar are expressing the concerns over individuals demanding their immediate release or information to the circumstances around their

9:53 am
you said you didn't mention them issue at all even though it was in your prepared remarks. does it remain a precondition for the united states? are you and president trump on the same page on whether and when to engage in talks? >> the president's policy on north korea is quite clear. there is no daylight between the policy and the pursuit of that policy. the president has been very clear that we are going to lead this pressure campaign and unite the international community and we will keep the pressure is much as we can and increase it were possible. most recently, the president called president xi personally and asked them to cut the supplies off to north korea to increase this pressure. that is intended to lead to diplomatic talks. in the meantime, the president has been very clear. we will be prepared militarily if something goes wrong. our military is prepared. with respect of the talks, we are not going to expect preconditions. you heard others called or
9:54 am
