24 to 48 hours, he implies is an effort to divert from the big tax cut or tax reform bill happening on capitol hill right now. and it was interesting what preet bharara said, looking for the reaction from president trump or anyone else in the administration might be feeling the heat. i think that's why, if i might speculate just a little bit, ty cobb, the special counsel here who deals with these matters involving the grand jury and the mueller investigation, representing the white house and the staff here, put out a statement that said his tweets, president trump's tweets today "are not, as some have asked, a reaction to anything involving the special counsel with whom the white house continues to cooperate." so, a very sort of anodyne and standoffish statement from the lawyer here at the white house, even as a reasonable person might objectively look at president trump's tweets today and say that's exactly what's getting under his skin. >> exactly, and i'll go with that line of questioning, ned. you can't help but scratch your head and say really, this isn't about what's going on tomorrow afterno

california state senator jerry hill is drafting a bill to give free credit freezes to californians whoseormation has been breached. so instead of paying $10 to each of the three credit reporting agencies, consumers would pay nothing at all. hill is expecting a lot of pushback. why? money. >> if you're over 65, you can lock your credit for free. if you're under 65, you can't. if 34 people people freeze it, that's $744 million those credit companies could lose. if you pay the $30 to get out, that's another $744 million. we're talking about a billion and a half of revenue that could be on the line here. >> reporter: senator hill says it is simply the right thing to do. >> why should we be paying for protection? it sounds like chicago in the 1920s. we shouldn't have to pay to protect ourselves from something that we didn't cause and in this particular case with equifax, it's their fault, and they're the credit reporting company. >> reporter: i'm michael finney, 7 on your side. >>> a comedy gag on an animated tv show is prompting mcdonald's to announce it will offer its sichuan dipping sauce

hill. your senator bill cassidy this morning on "fox news sunday." >> the president is not getting the affordableet's take them as one example. they are unconstitutional and what the president focusing on her middle-class families who are paid $30,000 to $40,000 a year for premiums posted up above on top of this. think about that. $30,000 to $40,000 a year. if there's something damaging the credibility of the affordable care act is these premiums unaffordable, not which the president is doing. arthel: caroline shively live with more. we heard cassidy said the president is not getting obamacare, but the other side says what? >> bier slamming the move, arthel. nancy pelosi says the president wants repeal and replace without the replace. senator chris murphy on fox. >> the subsidies going to the insurance companies help very low income people afford insurance and without the subsidies, and there will be many people who won't be a will to provide insurance and afford it. >> president trump of the subsidies the bailout for the insurance companies and so this might put pressure on democrats like pelosi

. >> bill, one of the things about the oakland hills firestorm was the roads so were narrow, and you had people trying to evacuate with trucks trying to go up the hill, and there just wasn't enough room for the traffic in both directions. would that be the case where the fire burning now, or would that be an overstatement to say that? >> caller: no, that would -- this would not be dissimilar to that. soda canyon volunteered a two- lane road that goes up and down the canyon, and i'm sure there's fire vehicles trying to get up there, and i'm sure there are people trying to get down from there. obviously when a situation like this happens, and its breaking news, there is a lot of activity via the first responders, and we are hearing that this is burning in the soda canyon area. bill, that's what you were talking about. >> caller: yes. >> it and looks like official notion expecting it to reach silverado flail about 30 minutes. so, bill, silverado trail, describe that area for me. >> caller: well, i'm looking at silverado trail. i see a fire vehicle going up silverado trail right now, and

i remember when i was growing up, i'm just a bill on capitol hill or whatever the lingo goes. some people have seen that on the internet, even some of the pages here who are much younger than i am are shaking their head indicating they recall that. but that's how legislation becomes a law. and our colleagues across the aisle act like this is a revelation, this is somehow unprecedented and is a terrible way to do business. well, i think consistent with what the president has requested and what we would like on a bipartisan basis, let's give that a try. let's give that a try. that's what we talked about over at the white house, and i think we owe it to the american people. and honestly, i think if we were able to come up with a bipartisan tax reform bill, the country would be astonished, would be shocked, that we're actually working together in the best interest of the american people rather than relying on the same old tired talking points and this sort of -- and that's sort of ensconced in our own bunker, lobbying shots across some demilitarized zone at each other politically.

whatsoever that they've seen in any of the things they've heard in the intelligence committee on the hill. >> bill: let me advance the conversation here. i guess paul manafort will fight it and rick gates as well. how does the white house respond? what does the president do? over the weekend he had a tweet said just as republicans are getting ready on tax reform the distraction moves back to russia. >> bill: i hope what the white house will do is the main business of the day now. that is to move forward on tax cuts which will improve the growth and opportunity for people in the united states. >> >> bill: how do you expect the commander-in-chief to react now? >> i hope they'll focus on the business of the day. the next business of the day two, three, four months is to change the tax system fundamentally so people, corporations, people in the middle class will have opportunity to have lower taxes, better jobs, more growth in their income which they haven't had in many years and we'll have that type of growth which will stimulate an explosion in the united states of new jobs and new opportunities. >>

. >> harris: people of the fact that youead the bill some people on capitol hill don't. i want to dig in with this. i understand where there might be a disconnect. some critics are thinking that if you are talking about not being able to deduct your state income taxes and local taxes from your federal income and you can't take off your real estate, mortgage interest and all of that, that only benefits the wealthy. what you are saying is no, that also hits the people in the middle. >> if you make between $75,000.300000, i call that middle or upper middle class. those people, a significant chunk unless we are careful, if you take out two big deductions, there is a chance, looking at the details and i was at the white house today, they want to work to make sure it doesn't happen. i take them at their word and i am glad i brought this up because i think there was a danger that some of the powers that be weren't concerned with the first and primary principle of conservatives and that is that we don't raise somebody's taxes. >> harris: that is so interesting. you are the first

the fact that drug czar that's nominated, while he was up here on capitol hill, sponsored a bill that would make it easier for drug companies to distribute opioids. . importantly, marino if he were to be the drug czar, would be chief in handling this opioid crisis. so a lot of calls on capitol hill for his withdraw, including democrat from west virginia. >> announcer: joe manchin. his state is battling with the opioid crisis and called for marino to withdraw his name. reacting to the news he tweeted out to president trump, president trump thanks for recognizing we need a new drug czar who has seen the devastating effects of the problem. i look forward to working with president trump to find a drug czar that will serve west virginia and our entire country. of course that begs the next question, john and poppy, who will be the next drug czar nominee. this position is still vacant. >> an incredibly important one right now for the country that has been vacant now for months and months. thank you for the reporting. >>> meantime senator john mccain once the party standard bearer as the pres

bill months ago. republicans on capitol hill say release the bill. the reason why they're not is they know when you release a tax reform bill, there are winners and losers and the lobbyists are going to swarm and pounce on this bill. so i think it's going to be very difficult to get it through both the house and the senate, especially the senate. now, republicans in the senate, mitch mcconnell has been meeting with centrist democrats including joe manchin because remember john mccain voted on the previous tax cuts. you can't count on him. >> one on the horizon is bob mueller's investigation. we know former chief reince priebus met with him. what can we expect in the coming weeks? >> it looks like things are coming up. he's talked with the chief of staff and next would be president trump. mueller personally would interview trump. i think from a big standpoint, you've got to get this investigation done either this year or you kick it until the end of next year so you don't have the investigation during an election. >> bob, there are like 17 stories tha

we are having this conversation this morning a day after a bipartisan bill was unveiled on capitol hillimed at shoring up -- of portable care act shoring up the affordable care act. we will talk more about this coming up at 8:00 during a roundtable discussion on health care. yesterday, a leading conservative was outright hostile towards the new bipartisan plan. should focus on repealing and replacing obamacare rather than trying to fix it." , as coming from mark walker republican from north carolina, in a statement on twitter. he is the chairman of the influential republican study committee. senate republican leaders were less than enthusiastic.

privately there is a lot of concern on the hill that the president, once this tax bill is out, couldull another chuck and nancy chinese dinner and strike a deal with democrats. on the phone call last night, they say he talked about how he wanted to get more democrats to vote for the tax bill, but then tried to quickly reassure them that, i'm a republican inside-out and backwards, i think was the quote. i don't think that's going to assure them. i think a lot of people are worried about him doing a 180 on this. >> we talk about the chuck and nancy chinese dinner. it tells you a lot about the state of washington today. to that point, the president tweeted this morning about the 401(k). the republicans are going to cut taxes. a lot of them are worried about the deficit, trying to find some way to bring in revenue. some have said get rid of our limit to our 401(k). the president said, there will be no changes to your 401(k). that's a great tax break. we'll leave it as it is. to your point we get back to the obamacare issue where either they cast a vote, he says it's great or he says it's
