, ten bill cassidys, a hundred bill cassidys. do they matter to roy moore? >> i don't know in a ththat ther to roy moore. it's hard to imagine if roy moore wins this leelection that the senate can avoid having a full-scale investigation of his election. it is something that i think is unavoidable. and this does not go away for republicans if he wins. and morally i think what's really striking to me about the cassidy tweet is that he cites the response from roy moore, right? yesterday was sean hannity. sean hannity did not exactly press him to the max, he did not do a tim russert or mike wallace impersonation. but nonetheless, roy moore did not dismiss out of hand the idea that he was dating teen-agers. he dismissed the specific allegation on the 14-year-old. he did not offer a very stern defense and now you have further corroborating testimony from people there at the time. >> and that's just one and that's just today. will there be more. one of the interesting notions in the the "new york times" today is that there are some repu

senator bill cassidy just previewed their own legislation.ere capitol kevin cirilli come our chief washington correspondent, is standing by with a special guest. kevin: thank you, shery. we are here with senator mark warren. we have details from senate republicans about what will be in the senate bill. did they consult democrats at all? sen. warner: we have heard nothing. this has been so frustrating. i was part of the gang of six, the simpson bowles plan. i have had a career in business, get we have had no consultation. this plan has been written totally in the dark in a secret room. i think many by senate finance members do not know. it right now as we speak, but this is not the way we should rework our country's tax code. kevin: some democrats met with the white house earlier this week. senator joe manchin meeting with mark short of the white house. some republicans are saying they want to get democrats. what you make of that argument? sen. warner: as somebody who spent a career in business, longer than i have in politics, i feel like ther

>> well, again, people like senator bill cassidy looked at the facts and we know what conclusion he drewmy view, chris, is that roy moore was really unfit for the senate even before these recent revelations, for example, there's ample evidence, this was also reported in the washington post, very detailed reporting that he essentially cheated a charity that he was involved with for his personal private gain. so, again, lots of facts out there about these issues and the people of alabama will make up their minds but i hope they will look at the facts because you've got a candidate in doug jones who has been sticking to the issues that people really care about, issues about health care, issues about tax policy that's going to impact the people of alabama, educating the children in alabama, those are going to be the important issues and i think doug jones has shown that he's the candidate who has a record that can actually help alabama but that's but that's up to the state to decide. chris: understood. let's talk about this question of allegations and allegations particularly of sexual misco

if bill cassidy thinks the answer is the president selling this bill explaining it, mozell tough, i would love to discuss it. that's not what the white house is doing. for cassidy to say the president should sell it, the president is being dishonest when he says it's not going to benefit him. it 100% is going to benefit trump businesses and the trump family. own it, say it. >> well, it would be -- if the president understood the tax reform bill, actually understood the nuances, perhaps maybe he could sell it. we all know he doesn't get into the nuts and bolts of policy. he would rather tweet random things. he just said that tweeting issed an vadvantage advantageous for the president, it's only in trump land. it's certainly not to sell the tax plan and the benefits. he's tweeting about the nfl. he's tweeting insults about the media. he's tweeting about how he's his favorite president, going on a narcissistic, you know, trip he always goes on to make himself feel good. is the president really doing that, is he really using his bully bull pit for mature legislative purposes? i don't think so

we're asking senator bill cassidy, one of the writers on the tax bill. >>> plus chilling new details on the north korean missile test. we learned that the missile had interest trek yes to hit anywhere in the in the united states -- trajectory. president trump said the situation will be quote, handled. what does that mean? >>> major shake-up in the media world. nbc's matt lauer fired following complaint of inappropriate sexual behavior. we have more on the bombshell allegation and what it means for "the today show," a big moneymaker for nbc and comcast. we want to go to jeff flock in missouri where the president is set to deliver a major speech on tax reform. he has the preview. hey, jeff. reporter: trish, he does have some selling to do here in the show-me state though. some people question with the market doing what it is doing, unemployment with 17-year low, 13 states with lowest unemployment they ever had, do we need tax reform? the president will answer that, with prepared remarks from the white house, short time ago, i quote the president from the prepared remarks now, it is not

if we sell richard shelby, bill cassidy has been mentioned.rd the story as -- or the information in the story as very credible information. in fact, subsequent to the post story, other news organizations have gone in at the women's the questions that they have all repeated what they said, an independent corroboration from people who were told about his allegations simultaneously has come forward. i don't think this is the case of the mainstream media making up a story to get roy moore, although i will concede that would be an effective line of defense for roy moore among republican base in alabama. >> chris: steve bannon. >> yes, and steve bannon, going to julie's point. i think steve bannon must be loving this because what steve bannon is about is destroying mitch mcconnell and the "republican establishment." and in a weird way if doug jones wings, that is also a win for steve bannon because it complicates mitch mcconnell's life and make things more difficult. this is a guy who compared himself once to lenin and said he wanted to destroy the

joining us now, bill cassidy, republican of louisiana, welcome and thank you. as we say in my help hold, a couple of things i want to ask you about, you have kept it at seven brackets, why? speak of the complexity of taxes comes not from the number of bracts is to my brackets, turbotax takes care of that. it also allows distributional equity, if you will. we thought that was important. >> harris: you did not keep any portion of the state and local tax deductions, you took it completely away, you know that when this hits the house, you are going to have some real problems, why did you take it all out? >> inevitably the disagreements between the two go chambers, on the other hand we are united on how we increase tax cuts to middle-class families. if it gives a little bit, i know it will probably have to to pass the house. as long as we fulfill that promise to make sure those working families get a tax cut. >> harris: i heard you almost say the word compromise, is it going to be a sliding scale, what would that look like? >> i think that is going to take negotiati

bill cassidy with us right now. thanks for taking the time. what do you make of this provision? goal was to free up some monies, i guess, remove what is an onerous demand to make sure every american has health insurance coverage. susan collins is saying it's complicating things? >> i won't be surprised if she changes her mind. the individual mandate doesn't work. yesterday's "new york times" from cbo sources says it works 7% of the time. they used to say millions would be insured. now they're not saying that. number 2, it's a tax on low income people. it's the poorest people that are paying this. 78% of them with an adjusted gross income of $50,000. not only does it not work, it taxes poor people. we should get rid of it. >> neil: that might prove a tough argument -- >> i'm not hearing anything. >> neil: can you hear us? we have some audio issues. you can wiggle about $330 billion over ten years. that's revenue that they could provide to maybe provide lower taxes for various different brackets as well as provide other benefits or speed up the corporate tax cuts. remember in the

and senators steve danes of montana and mike lee have pulled their endorsements and last night bill cassidy tweeted, "based on the allegations against roy moore, his response and what is known, i withdraw support." the senatorial committee has ended its fundraising agreement with moore. two former republican presidential nominees, john mccain and mitt romney, say moore should quit the race right now. republican senator bob corker tweeted, "look, i'm sorry, but even before these reports surfaced, roy moore's nomination was a bridge too far." but some republicans have been more conditional with a lot of the use of the word "if." >> if these allegations are true? >> well, i don't know. it's a devastating, nasty story. if the revelations -- if that's true, i don't believe that there would be anyplace for him in the u.s. senate. >> would he be fit to serve in the senate if this were true? >> no. no. if there's any shred of truth, he ought to step aside immediately. >> those two clips are from when this news first broke and since then the conversation has evolved into just what might roy moore do

we heard the same thing from bill cassidy. he said he doesn't need to wait to find out if true, which is a formulation a lot of people were using and we heard the similar thing from pat toomey over the weekend. let's listen to that. >> nearly 40-year-old allegation we'll probably never know for sure what happened. but from my point of view, you know, i have to say i think the accusations have more credibility than the denial. i think it would be best if roy would just step aside. >> so, as far as washington senate congressional republicans are concerned, lauren, they seem to be pushing roy moore on to an island here. >> certainly, i think that they recognize if roy moore doesn't get out of this race, it is going to be a topic of conversation for the next several weeks until this special election. and a lot of republicans are not interested in going ahead and having to answer questions about roy moore every single day from here until christmas. and i think one of the questions that we have to remember is that if roy moore loses

ask republican senator bill cassidy, a member of the senate finance committee. i appreciate you carving out the time for us tonight. a lot of action down there, we're getting close. wall street loves it. the american public feel it as impalpable. we're hearing news there won't be a tax trigger but to counter that, the corporate taxes probably the tax rate will start at 20% and stair step higher each year to what number? >> i can't tell you what number it's going to end up at. i do know that j.c. t saying .8% growth is all that would result from this. most people don't believe. saying economy is going to top out 2% per year over the next ten years. when we've had 3% growth for the last two quarters, projected 3% growth for next quarter. .8% growth yields $500 billion in excess revenue suggests we go from 2.0 to 2.6 and everything is taken care of, and that's what folks are banking on. charles: we know, of course, getting senator john mccain as a yes was a huge obstacle, but you have this deal that was cut with bob corker to get it out of committee, and that's the

section out of the affordable care act without any kind of replacement such as an auto enrollment, bill cassidyed earlier this year, and put it into a very complex tax bill does not make sense. >> what do you say you heard senator kennedy's -- i don't know if you heard senator kennedy's argument. his argument, in his state 80% of the folks pay the fine. middle to lower income, and it's -- might at well serve as a tax break for them. what do you say to that? >> well, that's true in my state as well. 80% of those who pay the fine earn under $50,000 a year. but what i would take a look at is what the increase in premiums as a result of ending the individual mandate would do to the tax rethree of would be provided to middle income people under this bill, and the fact is that it more than cancels it out, and that's why i think that if we're going to go this route, it's so important that we pass the bill authored by senators alexander and murray which have co-sponsored, which would actually decrease premiums by about 20%. >> so if that bill got passed, you would support the -- you would tacitly suppo

the signals now being sent by some national republicans, senator tim scott, senator pat toomey, bill cassidy, those who have supported roy moore or stayed out of the race who now think he should drop out? any impact? >> well, it does. it does to a degree, but in alabama, i say we're kind of the make me state, just like a missouri is the show me, we're the make me state. we want people -- we have to be made to do certain things. it's very contrary to the nature of alabamians for someone from d.c. or anywhere to come down here and tell us what we can do. now that may be good and that may be bad, but it is the nature of what we see here, even on the ground. people don't want to be told how to vote. so that's kind of where we are. it's a stubborn crew down here. >> there is one person who has not weighed in definitively yet on what roy moore should do and that's president trump. he, obviously, is very popular in alabama. do you think if he came out wednesday, for instance, when he gets back from the asia trip and says i think roy moore should drop out, do you think that would have an impact? >>

on moore to step out of the race to step out of the race on thursday, and then steve daines and bill cassidypport this weekend. the nrs c chairman, senator cory gardner says moore should not run, and if he wins he should be expelled from the senate. moore is accused of making inappropriate advances on at least five women what they were in their teens and moore was in his 30s. moore denies the allegations. he says they are a political witch hunt, and now he's threatening legal action against "the washington post," the paper that first broke the story. reporters at the post said they spoke to over 30 people, including four accusers, a fifth accuser, beverly nelson spoke out today. she says moore assaulted her when she was 15 years old. nelson says moore offered to drive her home from work but instead of taking her home, other than district attorney parked his car near a dumpster and began touching her chest. >> i tried fighting him off, while yelling at him to stop. but instead of stopping come he began squeezing my neck, attempting to force my head onto his for . he said you were just a child

i'm told bill cassidy on fox news just saying that roy moore at this point should be replaced by somebody else. i think we have tweets today from susan collins, from orrin hatch, both saying susan collins, i read mr. moore's statement and listened to what he said and i did not find his denials to be convincing and i believe he should withdraw from the senate race in alabama. i will say, that is a sentiment, especially from the women members of congress even if they're not all quite as public as senator susan collins, you're definitely hearing that. >> she waited for mitch mcconnell in a way i'm sure they talked about this. i'm sure he gave people a heads up over what he would say in the last few hours and we'll have basically most of the republicans in the senate on one side and see if they were all. but i come back to donald trump. what does he say? he'll be asked about this in the next 24 hours, right? >> so far he's been able to kind of -- i don't want to say hide behind his asia trip but he has been out of the country. i guess we'll see what he has to say when he comes back. it seems

bill cassidy of louisiana also backed away in a saturday tweet saying, quote, based on the allegationsst roy moore and what is known i withdraw support. bob corker writes look i'm sorry but even before these reports surfaced, roy moore's nomination was a bridge too far. yesterday several other republican senators suggested that moore should end his campaign. >> i don't know, chuck. i don't know how this is going to turn out. you know, this is a terrible situation. nearly 40-year-old allegation. we'll probably never know for sure exactly what happened. but from my point of view, you know, i have to say that i think the accusations have more credibility than the denial. i think it would be best if roy would just step aside. >> certainly the allegations are very, very strong. the denial was not as strong as the allegations. i think if the allegations are true, there's no doubt that he should step aside and not for the party, but for the american people. we have to find a way to restore trust and confidence in our elected officials and in our government and this goes in the wrong direction

bill and i thought, this can be the first of many. now it looks like we're going to go back sometime in the spring to the graham-cassidy block grant bill and the problem i per with that is it puts a capita cap on medicaid spending and i'm not saying that we don't need to come up with a way to reduce medicaid spending, but the problem with the per capita cap is that an estate like -- that in a state like mine which has aties proportionately income, less healthy, older population, it really gets hurt. and it's going to lead to a curtailment of services and i don't want to see that happen. so i think there are things that can be done. i'm really interested in the innovation that some states, including indiana, have done with their medicaid expansion population. they used managed care to help lower costs. they have required beneficiaries to have a little skin in the game by paying a very, very modest co-pay. and from what i'm told they've had better outcomes and lower costs. so there are things we can do but i do not support the approach that is in the graham-cassidy bill. >> marcy gordon from a.p. >> you spoke with, you met with the presi

mike lee of utah and bill cassidy of louisiana criticized the former judge's response to allegations of sexual misconduct. four women confirmed to cbs news that moore pursued them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. one accuser said she was 14 years old when moore undressed and groped her. manuel bojorquez is in alabama where moore says he will not abandon the race. >> reporter: at an event with voters last night moore once again emphatically denied any wrongdoing and called the allegations a political attack. his loyal supporters say they believe him. it's unclear whether that will be enough to bring moore and republicans a victory next month. roy moore arrived at a meeting with voters last night where the media was kept outside. earlier, prominent republicans called for him to step down. >> the accusations have more credibility than the denial. i think it would be best if roy would just step aside. >> i think if the allegations are true, there's no doubt that he should step aside. >> reporter: at his first campaign stop since the "washington post" published the story, a

over the weekend republican senator bill cassidy of louisiana tweeted based on the allegations against and what is known i withdraw support. moore and jones face off in a december 12th general election, bill. >> bill: thank you, jonathan. there in alabama today. >> sandra: an emotional scene unfolding. a mother races out of a burning building carrying her children. more on this heart stopping moment and how everyone is doing today. >> bill: that's remarkable. also in a moment here what will republicans give you on the tax plan? republican senator rob portman out of ohio talks to us about that live next. >> i'm confident we'll get votes. so far every vote has gone the way we thought it would go. we're optimistic we'll continue to get the votes. time is going to tell but we'll be in the senate finance committee this week and it will be in the full house this week. . amanda's mom's appointment just got rescheduled - for today. amanda needs right at home. our customized care plans provide as much - or as little help - as her mom requires. whether it's a ride to the doctor or help around th

there's a guy in louisiana, the senator from -- >> host: bill kennedy or bill cassidy? >> guest: john kennedy. someone town there in authority without embarrassing told me, you know, this is what happening you know? name. but they had to earn that name. joe kennedy did not have that great a name, the old man. >> host: what was jfk's approval rating in early november '63? >> guest: i remember as a kid looking at "u.s. news & world report" i used to read back then as a kid, and it was close. but i think he -- you know, presidents got reelected in those days. if you think about, not since hoover was somebody defeated for re-election. that was the great depression. i think nixon would not have run, i don't think. i think he would have beaten goldwater. the guy he was afraid of, he was afraid of rockefeller. and then rockefeller got divorced, his new wife, happy, left the four kids to her first husband. this killed the deal. the american people were not going to like somebody who just had that kind of a marriage. it was just a dealbreaker. and so it ended up being goldwater.

trying to promote one might and bill cassidy said he is going to put it in.se member from the democratic side said we are going to require all providers of health care services, hospitals and doctors to publish prices. think of what that will mean. i talked to the lady that sent a prescription, couples prescription, got fulfilled at wal-mart for $4 another pharmacy she dished out 10 days ago, client had to pay $40. publishing prices is going to be a huge step, incremental, one step at a time. paul ryan just sent me an e-mail this morning. everybody in the house republicans are for transparency and you can find no one out here in the counties, who are not giving me high fives when i say let publish prices. neil: i would imagine bernie is getting a little lower high fives. >> no you're right. great seeing you, my friend. thank you very much. neil: donald trump and kim jong un. i'm not going to say that korean leader is short and fat. after this. neil: alright, i think this is kim jong un colony the president of the united states the pool. he said i'm not going

section out of the affordable care act without any kind of replacements such as an auto enrollment, bill cassidyuggested earlier this year, and put it into a complex tax bill does not make sense. >>> there's a different story happening in the maek makers wa bill this afternoon and president trump will head to capitol hill to push this over the finish line. there are a few local hold-outs, but right now it looks like the house has the votes to pass this bill there's a risk of deja vu here with the agenda moving forward in the house, and then stalling out in the senate. we've heard this story before. back over to you >> thank you very much we'll watch this closely we'll be talking with senator ron johnson at 7:30 a.m. eastern time on "squawk box. his big concern is that it gives too much to big corporations and not enough to small businesses >> it's a pass-through issue i don't think he thinks it goes far enough for the pass-throughs. you're not sure of the whole rational for the pass-throughs ron johnson is a conservative. i know him pretty well had some off -- when he's not just interviewed, i h

i also talked to senator bill cassidy of louisiana, and he said the key here is making sure that businessesave certainty >> what you don't want to do is to introduce uncertainty which means that folks are not making investments because they don't know what the trigger's going to do if there is a trigger, it has to, it has to still be kind of certain that if i invest money, i can get a certain return if you do that, the economy grows, the economy grows and we're all better off >> meanwhile, senators marco rubio and mike lee are pushing their own amendment that would ensure that the child tax credit is fully refundable and they would pay for that by increasing the corporate rate to 22%. so guys, right now we're in this stage, we're individual senators, can really push their pet projects and try to build support for that as republican leadership tries to wrangle the 50 votes they need to pass this legislation. back over to you guys. >> that sound we hear is the rubber hitting the road right now. >> that's right. >> we'll see what happens. thanks >>> time for a cnbc news update right now with s

yes, bill cassidy.s come home and lie to you about something? same thing with sarah huckabee sanders saying it doesn't matter where the tapes are lies or not. >> what country is this? >> whether he was retweeting fascist videos or not. >> i'm scared. >> it does matter that the tapes were frauds. it does matter that a fascist organization, a white supremacist organization was tweeting those out. that matters. if it doesn't matter to you inside the white house then you are morally corrupted and you need to go home. it matters. it matters. the truth still matters. you can't tell us what the meaning of "is" is to fit your realities. the meaning of "is" is. here we have it again, except in hyper speed, hyper drive with another president, except this goes beyond all bounds of what we've ever endured before. this, as you said, one-year experiment, it's off the rails, the president is out of control. >> anybody that says that president doesn't lie and speaks in hyperbole is endangering, is fostering a president

we went to the repeal and replace bill and graham-cassidy, and now the new midnight repeal provision, we haven't had a single hearing on any of this legislation will affect middle income americans and their ability to get health coverage. how will the late-night affordable care act provision affect the overall health care system? have we heard from people knowledgeable in the field? those advocate for the patients and doctors, hospitals, insurance companies? the answer is no, sip, we haven't heard from them. the chair will even allow us to hear from our nonpartisan expert at the congressional budget office. and as good as tom bartholdi is, and he is a real pro, he acknowledged the congressional budget office has expertise that the good people at the joint tax office don't have that you has repeatedly said we have at seven hearings on the provisions in the bill. with respect, and i stated my admiration and affection for him, so many times as as a loso figure stipulate. we've had a lot of hearings on taxes. we always do but few have been related to anything resembling the specifics of t

the whole idea is not simply fight back on the worst things like the graham cassidy bill. it is not dead. you have to call your senator. i think the idea is to use this. folks have described it as a movement moment. i have felt there has never been a better opportunity as organizers for a longer haul to fight back for what we believe in. one of the reasons being on this panel is excite is gone folks are coming into these movements and rejoining or starting new things with a much broader sense of what it means to be part of a progressive movement. we know at planned parenthood, we are fighting to protect access to reproductive health care and rights. we are proud to stand for racial justice and voting rights. all of these issues affect our patients, staff and families. that to me has been one of the better things, although we have a long way to go, about the movement we have seen since the election of 45. >> i would like to pose a question to the we of panelists. resistance, does it include positive action of a forward-moving agenda? >> i think it absolutely can have a forw

bill bonnel. so long from south florida. cassidy? >> thank you, chris. miami, with a decisive win, which leaves tough decisions for the playoff committee. especially since that number one spot is open for the taking. after it seemed like georgia decided not to bring their a-game to auburn. auburn up big. jarrett stidham, screen pass to johnson. 23-point win is the largest over the number one team in the college football playoff era. 40-17, the final on the plains. number one goes down. mississippi state had number two alabama southwesting all game. 20 seconds left. tied at 24. devonte smith's first catch of the game. bama survives despite giving up three rushing touchdowns for the first time in the nick saban era. number six tcu at number five oklahoma. baker mayfield to rodney anderson. sooners up 38-20 with 48 seconds to go. two contenders clinched spots in their conference championship games. number four clemson beat florida state and will play miami for the acc title, while number eight wisconsin is 10-0 for the first time in school history. and toda

we've seen their efforts to uphold that promise, house bill, ahca, skinny repeal, graham-cassidy, all of them -- and i want to break it down here now, because there was a lot to the affordable care act. i mean, there was exchange, there was expansion, delivery reform, is there's a lot more, and i think we need to parse it out a little bit. i want to focus, first, really on medicaid. so all of those republican attempts included provisions that would have had the effect of rolling back the expansion. >> uh-huh. >> why? why? what's the republican think behind that? >> so i think there are a couple of reasons why. let me just say, first of all, i think that the notion of putting medicaid on some coupe of fixed -- some kind of fixed federal allocation is something that's been around in conservative circles for a long time. and i think that is partly motivated by two things. one is a sincere sense that the federal obligation, the federal fiscal obligation for medicaid is growing at an unsustainable rate. relatedly, i think there is a sense that the program has somehow gotten too big. and th
