nancy pelosi? >> if you go back and look at president reagan's tax cut, you saw the same situation initially. the bill was not popular, but, of course, once it was implemented, economy started growing, and people realized the benefits and it was very, very popular. that's not unprecedented and we'll work through that. liz: we track the polls before the fall of 1986, strikingly to your point, senator, a number of polls in 1986 showed only 22%, 24% support of the reagan tax cut. same issue today, senator, right? >> right, it's so hard to break through with the messaging, but when you start reducing the regulatory burden. reduce the tax burden, make it easy to invest in america. it encourages the entrepreneurs and innovators to invest and grow their businesses, and that's what creates more jobs, a growing economy and improves wages and income. liz: senator hoeven, thank you very much for coming on, sir, come back soon. >> thanks, liz. liz: stay right here on the fox business network, lou dobbs will have special extended live coverage starting at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. >>> next, a video going vi

style from past american presidents i was the reagan defense forum a couple weeks ago up in simi valley where you know your old friends were you know running nancy's to put their one of the great presidential libraries and my pump a i was asked that same question he said you know it was interesting is that once in a while the at the president's tweets help. but i you know look it's got to be tough for general kelly to get up in the morning and deal with the tweets and deal with the style but having said that you know the president is willing and you know he's he's making some cases passed tax reform he moved the embassy to jerusalem he's rebuilding the military so people may disagree on style but when you look at the record it looks pretty good why such a low popularity you know i think we're a polarized country larry and i don't think any president's been under attack from the media the way president trump has for you know he's was stood a year of broadsides and that's you know so that that is. the key he's got a style that's different than other presidents and that's that's going to take some some getting used to for some people but i think what

you were in the room with ronald reagan when he was working on the tax cut package. art we had nancy pelosi saying this is armageddon this is probably one of the worst bills ever seen not to be out done, other people said this is going to be an apocalypse. my god memories being having their taxes slashed in broad daylight. what do you make of the fear mon gering around this bill? >> i just love the quote isn't that just wonderful. i think the fear mongering makes no sense and i don't understand nancy pelosi. generally speaking she's a very serious person and this type of overstatement and hyperbole doesn't do any good. the democrats most of the democrats should be voting for this, liz. it's just ridiculous they're not and the democrats and the senate should be voting for it as well. this is kennedy. this is, i mean reagan we had co -sponsors, democrat and republican of every one of our bills, so why wouldn't they do that? >> liz: you know, art to your point, i mean again, we're looking at a santa claus rally the indices in the green across-the-board. we may get a vote done by christm

nancy, and also, because if you look at the polls, this is not a popular piece of legislation. now, we've, of course, seen that before, if you talk to republicans, they say, hey, look at the reagan tax cuts. that was wildly unpopular. obamacare was very unpopular initially so their calculation is that ultimately people will start to like this but i think there is a concern that in 2018, democrats could really use this on the campaign trail. >> one of the things that the senators, the republican senators had to do to get the house republicans on board was that top rate of 39.6%, bring it down to 37%. the original senate bill did not do that so they have now given the democrats something where they get to say, hey, for the richest of the rich in this country, they are going to get a tax cut and i don't think the senate republicans originally wanted to give that away. they also wanted to keep a couple of ways to pay for the bill. >> i think also, all along the way, as kristen is at the white house every day, the president talked about getting democratic votes for this. he's gone out to a bunch of red states that have democratic senators and was trying to entice them. at the end of

reagan democrat, god rest his soul. melissa: he looks like paul newman in that first one, you as well. here is "risk & reward." liz: hysteria alert, democrat house minority leader, nancy pelosi warning that tax bill marks biblical end of the world, even democrats disagree, and republicans fight back, saying it is the end of the political world for democrats. tonight, all-star lineup, former governor mike huckabee on nancy pelosi and much more, bringing in. former fbi assistant director. on breaking new about the hillary clinton probe. and ceo for concerned women for america. on facebook targeting 6-year-old children with a new messaging app. i am liz mack donald, "risk & reward" starts right now. >> this is armageddon. this is a big deal. you know why? there is a hard way to come back from this. they take us further, more deeply to debt, what can you do but raise taxes? liz: nancy pelosi, declaring that senate tax reform bill is armageddon, republicans are not only ones slamming nancy pelosi for that remark, embarrassed maryland representative, sonny hoyer, 36 year veteran of capitol hill, he was not prepared to take things that far, he is not going to say it is the e

>> liz: it was so compelling the reagan tax cuts that al gore, joe biden, john kerry they all voted for it so did ted kennedy. let's get to house minority leader nancy pelosi revealing the only fix to the debt is to raise taxes. that's the only cure for everything is tax hikes. watch what nancy pelosi says that the back end of the sentence. >> nancy: no, it is the end. healthcare, the debate on healthcare is like death. this is armageddon. this is a very big deal. let's be truthful with the american people about that. they throw a few crumbs to the middle class but they give with one hand, they takeaway and bounty with the other. >> liz: well, there was a back end, producer can you give me the back end of what nancy pelosi said about tax hikes, because you clipped it. she said the only way to fix problems is to raise taxes and i don't know why that was cut but that's what she said at the end of it go ahead fred what's your comment? >> fred: there's one word if you look at all of the democratic statements about the tax bill and tax reform and so on, one, they are for raising taxes but two, they never talk about growth. economic growth, the thing abou

tweeting out this morning saying that putting nancy pelosi and chuck schumer, liberal puppets, jones, into office in alabama what it was at a recent event at the reagan national defense forium on saturday, his current c.i.a. director, the former c.i.a. director talked about the president's twitter habits and had an exchange on those habits. here's a bit from that. >> the problem of suddenly tweeting an anti-muslim video like that is that once it goes out, what it does is it inflames people that are out there. we had very nutch same kind of experience in the time that i was there when there was koran burnings that took place that made their way to video. when those burnings go out in a video, it resulted in several demonstrations taking place at embassies. the problem is that life can be jeopardized. so i think it's really important that the president understand. i'm not sure he fully understood maybe the implications of what he was doing. but it is clear that it is not something he should do, because when you do that -- when you tweet something like that out there, you don't know what the consequences are going to be. and the consequences could invol
