mr. neil pointed out the least public opinion poll on what you're selling here today only 27% of the american people want it. so i don't know which people you're talking but but the people of this country don't want this particular bill. they love tax reform that's fair, that's geared more toward middle income americans, that they believe will actually result in economic growth, but they don't whatnot what you're selling -- they don't want what you're selling but a 2009 say something here because mr. cross mr. woodl talked about the glorious process. i mean, this process is terrible. no matter how you want to look at it. quite frankly, getting up here and saying your proud of this process, that's offensive. that's offensive to us. i think it's offensive to the american people. that's review. let's review the process. to start they have zero -- let me repeat -- zero hearings on. the bill was jammed through the ways and means committee where every single democratic amendment was blocked and memb

my friend, mr. neil, isary available. this is a good product but i think can be made better and will be made better. that, yield back, my chairman. >> thank you, mr. slaughter. >> thank you, mr. chairman. mr. brady, why didn't carried interest get removed? i know the president campaigned on it. mixed it several times and seem to be a primary interest of his, that go away. >> so, to this whole process we listened, and what we learned is people didn't want hedge fund being able to get carried interest so they don't. we heard -- we want people to make capital investments, put it at risk, work to grow that and only if they held it long-term should by be able to get cap gains. the decision was bread to put a three-year holding period to ensure that you had to put capital in, and that only if you were in that investment for the long term would you be able to benefit. that was a common ground that eliminated abuses of carried interest but preserved it for, for example, the real state partnerships in your town that invest in that

mr. neil's work on the affordable care act timeline, mr. chairman. >> without 0, so ordered. >> thank you very much. >> i told you, dr. burgess knows more about this stuff than anybody. >> the gentleman has not yielded to the chair yet. >> the -- today i read an article written by paul krugman, and he said precisely what i feel this you all are doing with this measure. you're afflicting the afflicted and you are comforting the comfortable. afflicting the afflicted, and comforting the comfortable. one of the things that we are doing is a terrible disservice to the american public and mr. neil has pointed it out, that none of us know what two or three years from now are going to look like. the upcoming spending bill, we're leaving puerto rico and the virgin island inside the lurch, wildfires all over the place in california, and today demonstrating our weakness in infrastructure the state of washington, a terrible train accident occurred, something that we probably should be dealing with. but he

before i get to you and mr. neil and ne gentleman, mr. roscum, great job. and to marie slaughter, who with great expectation came here today not only as the chance to see you and richard and peter, the chance to also offer her own advice on what we're getting ready to do here. the gentle woman is recognized. >> thank you for the nice introduction. i came here with fear and trembling. >> you just had a pizza. >> thank you for that. i represent new york, a donor state if ever there was one. $48 billion comes to washington from new york every single year, money we get nothing back for. i bet a bunch of your states really benefit from the $48 billion. what do we get in this bill? we're not able anymore to deduct state and local taxes. it is going to be so devastating, not just to us, i don't think i've been able to sleep for two days worrying about this moment. and i'm sure this bill will be signed probably by tomorrow night and will be the law of the land, and it terrifies me. we haven't had a single hearing on the bill before. i doubt if mr. neely saw it befo

levin. >> thank you, mr. neil. mr. neil, i want to yield to ter terri sewell, back from the front line of alabama. [ applause ] so my question is to our economist. i know that you, mr. fuhrman, have had the opportunity to advise both presidents. if you were looking to provide economic growth, what would you be advising this administration to be doing? at the end of the day, we know that we've gotten out of our worst recession since the great depression, and we are on the rise. unemployment hasn't been as low as it's been in decades. and so what would you advise this administration to be doing? because i agree with you, mr. fuhrman. not only is it the chances of economic growth paying for itself, through this tax cut, not only is it as impossible as 60 degrees in boston, it's almost as impossible as a democrat winning the senate seat in alabama. but things do happen. so i would like to know from both of you, what you would do if you were advising this president on developing better economic growth. >> so, first of all, i

mr. neil's, which does not cut retirees pensions. one, has the pbgc had an opportunity to review mr. neil's bill, and if so, what is your thoughts on it and if not, when do you think you will finish your analysis and will you provide it to us when you do? >> we are looking closely at it. it is very difficult to evaluate exactly the effect and the cost of the program because each plan is plan specific and we don't have data from plans that we need to see how that would affect each plan. and other loan proposals have actually gone to plans and assault out their advice on whether or not that loan proposal will cure their problem. but we can't -- it's difficult for me to predict when our analysis is going to be done, but we will share it whenever we have it. >> and i will go to my next question. has the pbgc reviewed the other pr proposals put forward by u.p.s. and other multiemployer plans, and if so, what are your thoughts on those proposalpropod if not, when will you finalize your analysis of those proposals and will you share it with us when it's complete? >> again, we can share our a

i want to thank you for being here mr. neilmore than any place you know us very well and i've admired you not only as a friend and confidant, but as a combat and into someone who strongly believe as i do in what i believe in from the last time you were here that huge van diagram where there is a huge view we have to get more people back tour peopleback to work in. you mentioned some vision, jobs that are waiting. we have 21-dollar an hour jobs and help us texas paying full benefits because [inaudible] but we can't give them people to pass a drug test because you can't have them operating equipment and doing that stuff and smoking drugs. i just so much want to see backcountry sober. i have a lot in common with you. i came up here and told the story and i don't know if you remember but if you do if you were in the same way dick armey said there's going to means and rules and if i said i don't mind staying up late. [laughter] i said i don't mind the late hours, i kind of enjoy that. so you went to the ways and means and became the

thehank you mr. neil and organization. mr. neil started out the conversation having conceded that with the statement that this was a lost opportunity. as evident in all your testimonies, that is clearly a case. this was a lost opportunity for the country area when we hope we can regain. -- for the country. one we hope we can regain. i want to turn my question to our two expert witnesses on the economy. it seems to me, outside of the fact that we can address the other side, they seem to have amnesia when it comes to national debt or only want to talk about it when a democrat is in the white house, it seems to me that the apparent lack of focus on the deficit was amewhat disguised, almost tactic on the part of someone beinghe underlying theme what they were going to do with entitlements. social security and medicare are the insurance that people pay for. when we find in this provision -- that theref will be an automatic cut without intoe having taken place the medicare of $25 billion a year, i would ask our experts how they would

let's include mr. neil in the considerations, the ranking member. let's in crude -- let's include mr. wyden. let's include mr. mccarthy and reach ao see if we can bipartisan, positive, constructive piece of legislation, which will like the 1986 registration enjoy the enjoyed-- legislation the support of the american people and their representatives. had an election .esterday in alabama . mr. j incumbent republican representing alabama right now lost in the primary. he has no mandate. why rush this bill through? this bill, if it was passed on cember 31 of next year would affect the 2018 taxes that would be filed in april of 2019. the need to rush this bill, mr. speaker, seems to be and the reason for having no hearings, the reason for having no witnesses is because this bill on its merit cannot sustain itself. now let me read you a quote, mr. speaker. i think the message of the moment is that the american people all across the country are asking us even in the most liberal state, massachusetts, to stop this health care bill. i think that means there w

mr. neil, you are recognized. >> thank you. do you remember at any time attending a hearing on hr 1 in the house of representatives to discuss the republican tax plan? >> mr. neal, i don't know if it counts as a hearing but we did have markup. >> that doesn't count as a hearing where we had a chance to go back and forth with you. >> subsequent to ways and means marking up and reporting legislation, there was not a hearing on that legislation. >> thank you, mr. barthold. so there was not a hearing so we might confirm that. we did not have one hearing on this tax bill in the ways and means committee. now, mr. barthold, one of the problems we had and i know it's not an easy position for you, one of the problems we have now is we're trying to respond to a bill that's already passed the house of representatives. we know about the bill. we know it's in it. the challenge we should use the conference committee for is to figure out how to discuss what the final package apparently is going to look like. there's no opportunity to do that.

mr. murdock. >> neil: and he gets a chunk of disney.et's go through the regulatory approval process and whether authorities look at this the way the justice department has looked at what at&t is trying to do with time-warner. >> i'm told with people in the antitrust division that what they're doing with at&t time-warner opposing the deal, taking it to court does not negate our deal. i've been told several times since the justice department announced its lawsuit that they're going to look at us. they have to look at it. it's -- that's pro forma. but my guess from talking to people inside the justice department's antitrust division is that they are not going to directly oppose our deal. they look at what is going on in at&t time-warner as much more of a threat to consumers. okay? forget about all the backdrop of what donald trump has said. he's animus to cnn owned by time-warner. there's real good lawyers in the doj's antitrust division. i know some of them. if you look at what they want to do, the concentration of power, they believe tha

mr. president? neil: the president meeting with more leaders in salt lake city.lks they are in about an hour while he will let his plans ran in on some activity going out there and also some protective glance going out there. this is the same type of scene he and alaska where they look for more energy reserves. lisa murkowski of alaska and other senators have been very eager to do that. orin hatch, senate finance committee leader who is rumored to be interested in stepping down. and if he were to step down, mitt romney has emerged as someone who would be interested and of course, was very instrumental in turning around the utah winter olympic games. he would be considered extremely popular, very heavily favored to win is extremely republican state. the president when you the president of winning utah handily in the last presidential election. we will keep you posted on all of that. meanwhile, a lot of focus on the tax-cut plan coming together in capitol hill to iron out some of these differences. using a lot of the headlines that this is just a gimme and a penny

the cabinet office is examining the pornography claims as part of a wider enquiry into mr green's conduct. but neilt been asked to give evidence. a spokesperson for damian green said it would be inappropriate for mr green to comment while the cabinet office investigation was continuing. however, the spokesperson said that damian green had... mr green maintains his innocence. danny shaw is with me in the studio. good morning to you. why has he decided to come forward now? i think this has been a case that has always bothered him from 2008, 2009. he was not comfortable with it, he had a notebook, it was the only one he kept when he left the metropolitan police in 2014, a sign of how uneasy he felt because i think you felt the pornography allegations had not been dealt with properly at the time. the pornography was legal but i think he feels they should have been a refera ble to feels they should have been a referable to the parliamentary standards commissioner at the time. but when he saw damian green's very robust defence of the allegations when they emerged in the sunday times last month, as the ac

mr green that legal pornography was found on a computer seized by police have sparked a furious row. the allegations were originally made by former met assistant comissioner bob quick. while yesterday, retired met detective neild he had no doubt whatsoever that mr green had been viewing the material. it was ridiculous to suggest that anybody else could have done it. but today, the former chief constable of greater manchester police attacked their decision to speak out. most police officers would be very uncomfortable about the police getting involved in making judgments about whether a politician is lying or not. that is ultimately a matter for the courts and public opinion. 0r breaching this duty of keeping matters confidential, which are gathered in an investigation, unless they end up as evidence. this row matters because damian green is theresa may's closest political ally and it pits his word against those of two former police officers. but conservative allies have come to his aid. brexit secretary david davis warning downing street not to fire him. while this former cabinet minister questioned the conduct of the officers making the allegations. if you think something's relevant, you do it by a proper of

mr. roos, what happened to your spy, neil ness, and joe roos literally jumped out of his seat, freaked out, and said, how do you know that name? where did you hear that? and was so upset. the woman said, well, he testified in 1939. forgot that. interview joe roos' son who said his father never told him anything about what he and leon lewis were doing help said the only thing his father ever told him, remember one day when you war by, i came home and told you i tripped in front of the house and by face was all bruised. he said, yeah, you bloke your glasses, actuallies was jumped by two nazis and were beating me but a car came by and slowed down and that's, what's going on here? and they ran away. leon lewis never told his factually, joe roos never told his family and slocum never told his family until after the war. [inaudible question] -- >> a hair-brained scheme to start a revolution? -- [inaudible question] >> the question was, in taking over the armories in san francisco, l.a., and san diego, was this a hair-brained scheme or ordered by germany. germany wasn't ordering any of these plot

neil lewis says he examined the device during an inquiry into government leaks in 2008, when mr greenas an opposition spokesman. damien green, in effect theresa may's deputy, has again this morning strongly denied looking at pornography on his computer. scotland yard says it's examining allegations that the former detective had disclosed confidential information. our home affairs correspondent danny shaw reports. he's theresa may's oldest and most trusted political ally. but now, damian green is facing a battle for political survival, with claims he viewed pornography on his work computer. mr green has vehemently denied the allegations. but now, the detective who examined the device has given me his account. the shocking thing was, as i was viewing, i noticed a lot of pornography, thumbnails, which indicated web browsing. but a lot. there was a lot of them. so i was surprised to see that on a parliamentary computer. how many images did you see? thousands. thousands of pornographic images? thumbnail images. the computer had been seized in 2008, after police raided damian green's office

mr mccandless also served as the mission control capsule communicator when neil armstrong first walked he achieved —— let's take a quick look back at what he achieved. roger, copy that, bruce. to finish, let's hear the sound of the czech christmas mass. hundreds of singers turned out in prague to perform that together. it's a tradition which began in 1989 after the fall of communism in what was then czechoslovakia. in the first year, a few people gathered on the steps of the bridge. since then it's become an altogether bigger affair with the crowd led by professional conductors and soloists with the main train station also turned into a concert hall for the occasion. let's hear some more. all sing. don't forget you can get in touch with me and some of the team on twitter, i'm @benmbland. also plenty more news on our website whenever you want it. you can also download our news to keep up—to—date with all of the latest while you are and about. —— news app. this is bbc news. thank you for watching. hello again. although it has been a mild run—up to christmas and it will continue today on

nine years and retired police officers are now alleging that mr green's computer had pornography on it, although nothing illegal. former pc neil exclusively to bbc news. the shocking thing was, as i was viewing it, i noticed a lot of pornography thumbnails, which indicated web browsing. but a lot, a lot of them. mr green, however, denies having done anything wrong. i have said i am not commenting any further while the investigation is going on. i have maintained all along, i still maintain it is the truth that i did not download or look at pornography on my computer. but obviously, while the investigation is going on, i can't say any more. the raid on mr green's parliamentary office was controversial at the time and it is controversial again. many conservative mps want to know what the police are playing at. any information they found was found got using police powers. there was nothing illegal but evidence is now being put into the public domain. there is anger that after his retirement former constable lewis has kept his notebook of the investigation after retirement and is showing it to reporters. nearly a decade later, to

andrew neil is a top bbc news presenter. andrew's also edited mrch's sunday times and he helped him to set up sky television. here's his reaction. the deal is remarkable because it represents the end of rupert murdoch's quest to build a murdoch dynasty. he has been trying to do that for a0 years. i used to sit with him in restaurants in london in the mid—i9 80s and he talked about a murdoch dynasty, putting his children into key positions. letting them fight for the top position and whoever wins would take over and the murdoch men would go on for ever. here, he is unbundling the empire and the dynastic ambitions have gone. here is a perspective from the us. i don't think you will see any media change, but what's clear is consumers are going to have expanded options. having two of the premier collections of assets that will be available to them. i think this is all about adapting to help consumers are accessing content, going away from traditional to margin platforms. i think disney will be in one of the best position is ever to be able to adapt, pr

president, he's defending another victory he frequently cites, his decision to tap neil gorsuch for the supreme court. mr. trump is slamming reports that's he wanted to rescind his nomination for gorsuch after he slammed the president, calling it fake news, saying he never even wavered. but there is one bit of fake news the president may welcome, as in the artificial version of mr. trump added to disney's hall of presidents. though this robot appears to be all talk, no tweets. >> now, as for the president benefitting from the tax cuts that were just passed in the house, mr. trump could settle the issue once and for all and release his tax returns. the press secretary said the president won't do that while he's under audit. they've used that excuse many times before. the fact is that the president could release those anyway. there is nothing preventing him from doing that. wolf? >> jim acosta, thanks very much. >>> joining us now, republican senator bob corker of tennessee. he's the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee. thanks so much for joining us. >> wolf, good to be with you. thank you,

neil: all right ben stein? who gets the credit here ben? >> ben: well, i think mr. obama gets the credit for a very sound fiscal and monetary policies when the economy was struggling and in real terrible shape although i think ms. yellen gets credit, she should go down in history but what i'm looking at and worrying like mad about is inflation. when we are running hyper stimulating government of fiscal policies in the midst of full employment, that almost always leads to inflation and i am very very worried that my daughter and my son are going to be living in a hyper stimulative economy. >> neil: they have hyper stimulative dad i think. that's the problem there. >> [laughter] >> neil: i want to thank danielle, i want to thank charlie. meanwhile are your 20 something year old kids still asking for an allowance? you're not alone. our guys have the stocks to stop all that muchi? >> you can help mom and dad with their kids. >> just like the index, and i love steve win and stick with the indexes. >> you are watching the place for business. you are watch

she said bob quick and neil lewis breached confidentiality rules, when they made their assertions about damian green. mrhine. six former catalan ministers have been released from prison, but a spanish supreme courtjudge has refused to grant bail to two others and to two activists, who were arrested after the region declared independence. their leader, carles puigdemont, has attended an extradition hearing in belgium with four other former ministers. ten people — including two brothers — have been arrested in malta in connection with the murder of the journalist, daphne ca ruana galizia. she died when her car was blown up by a bomb. her family believe she was killed because of her investigations into corruption. there's been a significant increase in the number of children and pensioners in poverty, according to thejoseph rowntree foundation. the charity says that over the past four years an extra 700,000 children and pensioners in the uk fell into what's called " relative poverty". that's defined as households with less than 60% of the median income — the middle value of all incomes. the foundation says

mr. president, i yield the floor. neil: with that, senator al franken has resigned from the united states senate. he says he will do so in the coming weeks. he didn't specify how many weeks. that is important parliamentarywise because we don't know whether he wants to stay for the vote, not only temporary measure to continue the government and continue operating the government for another couple weeks and conclude by voting yea or nay, presumably nay on the tax cut package in the conference committee in both houses is now cobbling together and hopes to get to the president's desk by christmas. al franken wants to be a part of that before he steps down. keep in mind minnesota has democratic governor would likely remain a democratic president. there will be a special election to determine who will fill out the rest of senator al franken's senate term. a fresh election after that. get response to all of this. no really big market move one way or the other. this was largely telegraphed and expected. the dow up 88 points. we ha

neil: any recommendation for roy moore? he's still fighting this. >> i'm not going to give mr. moore any advice. i made my case against him. the voters showed otherwise in the primary and that brings us to today. he's on his own. >> neil: what did you think of the accusations that came up after the battle for the primary? what do you through? >> the former prosecutor, they're very troubling to me. it's unfortunate that that information wasn't available to the primary voters. one of the things you can't control. that's history. but i think it made a difference in the election yesterday. >> neil: the president supported you in the primary. steve bannon did not. he thought a fresher, more rowdy alternative would be someone that is not you, associated with the establishment and he went for roy moore. how do you feel about him? >> i think he had a bad day yesterday. i was proud to have the president's support. the president's support. richard shelby's support. for someone who has only been in washington for two months, i sure got to be part of the establishment in record time. so hopefully we've had e

mr. strzok was? >> no, i was not. neil: all right. so obviously mueller ended up getting rid of strzok over texts.re still not clear whether it was these particular texts. but it probably was. he was among the real leading investigators going after the connection, the dots, whatever you want to call them between donald trump and his team and russians and this whole argument for collusion "washington examiner," white house correspondent sarah westwood on that alone. no matter what you think of the texts and the timing of them, sarah, obviously mueller was concerned about this is just not feasible, you continuing in investigatory role here, and he got rid of the guy? >> exactly. a lot of people predisposed to believe the mueller probe was biased are seizing on that key piece of evidence. obviously if mueller removed peter strzok something was amaze here. we only heard of 375 of the texts that 10,000 inspector general obtained. there could be more. we don't know the full context how the inspector general even knew these texts existed, if someone was aware peter strzok was biased enough to alert the i

mr. president. >> thank you very much. everybody. neil: okay. there you go. looks like that wrapped up there. the president just a couple minutes ago, addressing what seems to be just moments away from signature historical achievement. certainly first real legislative accomplishment. that is a sweeping tax cut. call iting the biggest in history. technically that is not the case but certainly substantial in of itself. big drop in the corporate rate, what will be beneficial, he says, the middle class in this country and, sighing that he looks forward to that becoming the law of the land soon. didn't put a timeline exactly on that when he would actually sign it. the house because of some weird parliamentary issues has to revote on this right now in some slight changes that were made. it will not affect the overall course of the law itself or what will be involved in those tax cuts. some of it is simple as just the title of it, but that is coming up momentarily in the house of representatives. it is not a do-over in the senate. it is what it is. once that is done, it goes to the president's desk
