peter king bell has denied any wrongdoing. controller is also calling foul current leadership at mayor's fund, claiming that they have stopped cooperating. cbs-3 obtained this e-mail of auditors unsuccessful efforts to get information from fund executive director ashley dell bianca. we stopped by her office, she told us that she was in the process of reviewing the controller's concern. butkovitz was by his count 96 days left in office, believes philadelphians deserve answers on the mayor's fund. >> there has been this defiant view that it is none of the people of philadelphia's dam business. >> reporter: public relations firm brought on by the mayor's fund did release a statement about the controller's concerns, about communication between he and the fund, and they called any characterization that they are not responsive disheartening and tell us again that they are not only cooperating with alan butkovitz but now cooperating with this budding, probe, investigation by the pennsylvania attorney general. that is very late report

though the house and senate and white house on the same relief on the through is turbulence with peter king and some others repeal and deductions for state and local taxes. they want to represent those people and those people negatively affected. what's your message to republicans in the "wall street journal" today that have issue with that? >> it's pretty simple. and it's not folks from big states. it's folks from high tax states. not just large population is. this. if you and i make the same amount of money. we live in the same value house, we drive the same value car and our kids go to the same schools shouldn't we pay the exact same to support the federal government? shouldn't you are tax burden be exactly the same? the answer is yes. if you live in a low tax state, you actually pay actually higher taxes to the federal government than the exact same personal does in california or new york. that's not fair. abby: last time we had comprehensive tax reform was under ronald reagan. what did he was bring both sides of the aisle together. working with tipp o'neal as an example of that we are

let's bring in republican congressman peter king of new york to talk about this. congressman, always good to have you. in fact, i have got your twitter page up. i'm just gonna quote you to you. masterful speech by president trump on u.n. proud of american values. no apology, no retreats. god bless america. you get the first word and now you get the next word. >> to me, this was an outstanding speech. he laid it on the line, but very realistic statement. he cut through that whole mindset at the u.n. where they love process. they love to talk. they love to put off until tomorrow. they love to take cheap shots at the united states where we're the ones picking up the bills. we don't get the support we need from so many of them. he laid i on the line. i don't think any line in that speech that they can honestly disagree with. serious threat of north korea. serious about world korea. if they're serious about strengthening the u.n., they should listen to president trump. they're just not used to listening and hearing it in an honest direct frank way. >> harris: being in

peter king says i can agree to that. that's not good for my constituents. kevin mccarthy in terms of california. the pushback on the state and local income, what can you tell us? is there a debate here? >> as you know, i've lived in new york and california. two of the highest tax states. for me, this would be a very bad thing, but the right thing for the american people. we should get the federal government out of the business of subsidizing states. the federal government has no business subsidizing states from a tax standpoint. it should be fair that we treat all the states the same way. that is our object is. again, we work with congress on not. maria: bugatti get the boat. we'll see how much pushback he gets in terms of the one deduction. i recognize that the real estate lobbyists are among the most powerful in the world. the real estate lobbyists want certain things in place. we haven't heard anything about the carried interest reduction for the capital gains tax. is that coming? >> first of all, been carried interest, the president has been consistent

peter king says he's not voting yes on this plan if it includes the elimination of the state and local income tax deduction. >> i live in both california and new york, so i couldn't be in two more inefficient tax states than that, and i fully support them eliminating this deduction it's a subsidy low-tax states are paying for high-tax states. even if congressman ding doesn't like it. it's very passable. what people are not talking about is the amt, alternative minimum tax. you bring in reduced rates. nobody knows enough to know if it results in a net higher tax burden for anybody. maria: do you think we'll get another broke the, like a millionaires tax. most of people are 12, 25, 35. >> they may dangle the idea of a $5 million threshold. an even higher rate. the way they teed it up it looks like president trump has it out there and will let congress say no to it. maria: how do you invest right now. >> within the u.s. we really want to be selective. for a person who wants to go and bite s & p, they are buying a multiple market. it's expensive. we want to be more selective and we are div

mike thompson of california and peter king are the co-authors, is a ke is a hunter and decorated warero and knows about guns in terms of recreational and what you do need for that. and it's only that we're saying that we want to be able to make sure there are back grouped checks on people having guns -- who want to own guns. very simple and overwhelming and the republicans are going in a different direction. reporter: president trump and cabinet numbers, private tour jets specifically tom price. do you think this is an appropriate use of government funds? ms. pelosi: no, i don't. but from what i see what you are presenting and what the president has said, this is just not right. reporter: is that grounds for removal? ms. pelosi: i don't think he should be there in the first place. he doesn't believe in health care for americans and doesn't believe in clean air and clean to health ppointed and human services and doesn't believe in workers' rights and it is unfortunate that he is. i would rather somebody else be there. who could it be? and again, in terms of all of these things, it's a

we already have one republican, peter king, saying that is definitely a non-starter. he says that will hit hard working americans who live in his state of no, so he does not like that. let us bring in republican congressman mike kelly from pennsylvania, and gentlemen, we're waiting on a democrat here, we're waiting on democrat brian higgins, from new york as well. but i'll first begin with you, congressman kelly. it's all very nice to come up with these ideas and from the start, the democrats have said the red line they would not cross would be tax cuts on the extremely wealthy. in this plan, top income earners may have to pay more when you factor in taking away the ability to deduct state and local taxes. what does that really mean? is that the carrot that gets democrats to the table ready to work with you, the gop? >> i think we're going to find out real quick what brings it to the table. this is what i expect to have happen at the launch of any happen, i don't what we're talking about, legislation, polarized at the beginning. at the end of the day, after all the sm

trish: new york is concerned about this peter king doesn't like this one bit. >> sure. trish: congressman from new york. you know chuck schumer will not like it any way but the reason someone like peter king doesn't like it, he knows people are getting hit with 9% from new york state. they're getting another 4% from new york city. >> sure. trish: you're looking at 13%. new yorkers can deduct the 13%, say from what they're paying, 35% to the federal government. >> right. so that is an advantage. that money goes to help new york. just like the money helps minnesota. does that need to change, so you level the playing field for every date? >> leveling the playing field is a good idea. one of the reasons why we're just looking at simpler tax plan here. i mean, why should nine of tern americans have to hire someone to do their tax, buy financial software to do taxes. >> i agree with you on that. that is not the question i'm asking. the question is, do you think people should be able to deduct state and local taxes from their federal tax bill? >> right now the plan laid out in

. >> congressman, you've heard peter king say i'm not going to do to you in texas what you did to men new york. right? he's obviously a member of your party. governor christie, went after republicans for playing topolits during sandy. do you have a different perspective on this now after what you've seen happen in your own home state? >> i haven't changed my mind at all. again, objection to sandy was there was a lot of not sandy stuff in that bill. and that's what led texas members, including myself to vote against it. i grew up in south texas. i was a young teen in hurricane seal ya, which just wreaked horrible havoc here. i understand the need for assistance in recovering from a disaster wherever it is but i do have a problem using a disaster to fund whatever else might -- >> i hear you about that. and i'm not going to come at you in the time of disstress down there, but reading through the crs report on what the money was there, even ted cruz had to back off the idea it was two thirds pork or not related to sandy. it's just not true. it was almost all disaster related to easterly

i know peter king is on earlier.ue he tend to stick to a much more conservative tone in his responses, not trying to inflame any situations. the nfl more than other sports, its ownership is much more slows lie tied to president trump. there are a number of owners who are part of his biggest donors. woody johnson, bob kraft. trump was reading letters from tom brady and bill belichick. even more so the nba, the nfl is a sport where a lot of players are supportive of president trump and the fact that so many owners are donating to trump, the fact that goodell would feel the ability to release such a comment really does say something about what trump said last night. >> you also said the president disinviting nba star steph curry to the white house after the warriors guard said he'd be voting no for a traditional championship visit by the team. curry says their absence will form a protest against the president along the lines of the ways to express what you were talking about. why pick on the athletes? is there some elem

. >> and here's what your colleague in new york, peter king, said.t now, i don't see how i could vote for it, it's extremely damaging to new york. how would you be able to vote for it if that math pertains? >> well, obviously i share that concern by governor christie and pete king. but at the end of the day, when we look at the issue of obamacare and the premiums going up, deductibles going up, people are suffering. what i'm hoping we can do is maybe, if this doesn't go forward which i don't think it will in the senate, we can maybe take a bipartisan, work across the aisle in sin certificate faith, to get to the issue of health care costs in america. that's where i'd like to see this debate go. >> so i just want to be clear. i mean, if this were to happen, and i just want to make it clear this isn't some sort of panic among the media class. lindsey graham said into a microphone, paul ryan told me we pass it if the senate passes it, the house will pass it. you may have to vote for this in a few days. >> sure. you know, obviously i don't take a positio

. >> here is what your colleague in new york peter king said.ht now i don't see how i could vote for it. it extremely damaging to new york. how would you be able to vote for it if that math pertains? >> obviously, i share that concern by governor christie and pete king but at the end of the day, wihen we look at theis ish shaw of obamacare, deductibles are going forward. we can take a bipartisan and work to get to the issue of health care costs in america. i believe that will be the outcome and that's where i'd like to see this debate go. >> i want to be clear, if this were to happen and i just want to make it clear this isn't some sort of panic among the media class. lindsey graham said into a microphone, paul ryan told me we pass it, if the senate passes it, the house will past it. you may have to vote for this in like a few days. >> sure. you know, obviously, i don't take a position until i've actually had a chance to read the final bill. that's very important when you legislate. at the end of the day, i don't think that is going to happen. w

peter king said he can't vote for any tax reform proposal that eliminates state and local taxes. if you use a large percentage of that, have you pass this? >> first of all, don't you love that politicians, we have our own language with acronyms? american, ifverage you start talking about salt, we will be thinking about dinner. to yes, that is now referred as state and local taxes. this doesn't help me, this hurts me. i think longer-term, getting the central government out of subsidizing states is the right ring to do. it's just not fair. the federal government should not be in the business of subsidizing states. this is something that started in the house plan and that we have agreed with. obviously for people in california and in new york and new jersey and connecticut and other places we understand the impact. that is why as we look at the rates, even at 35, they are not getting a tax rate. this is something we will work with congress on. >> is it negotiable? >> i would say that this is a exercise to get tax reform done. 's theesident talk one issue is tax reform and we have a

as an example, i had peter king on the radio this morning, the republican congressman from new york andasked him to keep an open mind getting rid of the state and local deductions but he cannot see himself voting for a bill that does that. that gets rid of the deductions, we'll see, back to you. neil: i caught the interview, and raised something i hadn't thought of before, his constituents don't get a fair deal here, they get a wash, best-case scenario, they're learning that all their fellow citizens across the country are getting the big old tax cut. i never heard it framed that way, but he's right about that in that case, you know? >> and it's those people are middle-class people, or his argument. if you live in the suburbs of new york whether it's new jersey or long island and you make six figures which used to be talked about as being a lot of money. that isn't a lot of money, and a middle class worker, maybe in other parts of the country, other members of congress made similar arguments, listen, everybody else is getting this break, except you guys, that is tough. that has to be wo

call peter king right now, see what he says. no, i think that there is a lot of pressure right now to get this done and i think that although there are a couple dozen republicans from these districts who have the state and local tax deduction and who really benefit from that, if they are republicans, leadership will be talking to them, probably already has been talking to them, selling them on other parts of this bill. they don't want to be ones that brock this at least in the house. i do know a lot of house moderates, they do not want the weight of president coming down on them especially after repeal fell through where republicans are scrambling right now. neil: logic would tell you not to be suicidal but past history proves very suicidal. thank you all to your points here. cost of this tax, if you look at a cost, many write me you can't cost out tax cuts, play along with me here. five trillion over 10 years, already in the senate republican blueprint they're calling for 1 1/2 trillion dollars budgeted for tax revenue lost ove

those congressional districts paid higher than the average state and local tax .bout $3800 a year peter king is one of them and he said he cannot vote or any tax reform proposal that eliminates state and local taxes. if you lose those 52 or a large percentage of the 52 house republicans, how do you pass this? sec. mnuchin: first of all, don't you love that politicians -- we have our own language with acronyms. s.a.l.t. i think the average american if you talk about sold would think you were talking about -- salt would think you were talking about dinnertime. i think and as i said, this doesn't help me. this hurts me. i think longer-term getting the federal government out of subsidizing states is the right thing to do. it's just not fair. the federal government should not be in the business of subsidizing states. this is something that started in the house plan and we agreed with. obviously for people in california and in new york and new jersey and connecticut and other places, we understand the impact. that is why as we look at the rates, again, even at the 35, they are not getting a tax br

>> i have a lot of respect for peter king. he has been at this for quite longer than i have been. articulating some of the shared concern that i have for new york and people of our district. that's how i look at it when i decide to take a position on a bill. if and when this bill comes to the house it's going to have difficult concerns being raised. to me that's going to be a path we have to explore. about we can't explore it until we know what's coming and we have a chance to read it. that's fundamentally what we should do as legislators. >> congressman you are part of the problem solvers caucus. >> yeah. >> do you think it is a good idea to pass a health care vote in the senate that is not bipartisan that's along partisan lines? >> i will tell you, my personal opinion is the more we can work across the aisle, the problem solvers caucus is doing yeoman's work, and many are stepping forward, my colleagues in that caucus. i think that's the better solution. if this sfals in the senate which i believe the votes just aren't there, so we are going to have to deal with health care. whe

peter king is one of them and he said he cannot vote for any tax reform proposal that eliminates state and local taxes. if you lose those 52, or a large percentage of them, how do you pass this? sec. mnuchin: first of all, don't you love that politicians, we have our own language with acronyms? salt, i mean, i think the average american if you start talking about salt, they would think you were talking about dinnertime. it is now refer to as state and local taxes. this does not help me, this hurts me. okay? i think longer-term, getting the federal government out of subsidizing states is the right thing to do. it's just not fair. the federal government should just not be in the business of subsidizing states. this is something that started in the house plan and we have agreed with. honestly people in california, new york, connecticut and other places, we understand the impact. that's why as we look at the rates, you'd again, even at 35%, they are not getting a tax break. it's something we will work with congress on. mr. garrett: is it negotiable? sec. mnuchin: this is a pass-fail exerci

i think peter king and a number of us, we are looking to see some kind of amendment.his isn't final. we would like to see -- >> it is a work in progress for sure but the president said that he will not benefit. if we look at what we've seen of tax returns that being 2005, 31 of the $38 million he paid under taxes was under the alternative minimum tax. this plan repeals that so is he being disingenuous? >> i'm not -- i don't know what the president's looking at there but to me i'd like to see our businesses get lower, our property tax to be honest the conservatives don't like this because they'd like it to be more bold. i think we could be more bold and dramatic for the middle class but i think they're worried about it already. the implications are going to be high. >> let me ask you about the deficit. the tax policy center -- it's a nonpartisan organization, they estimate this tax plan is going to cost $2.4 trillion, why do republicans seem to be okay now with adding to the deficit? >> i think they want to see growth, they want to see something come out of that. we'll

congressman peter king of new york it out today masterful speech by potus trump at un. proud of american values and no apology and no retreat. god bless america. this from democrat barbara lee, more dangerous predicate and abdication of values president trump at un ga. congress must stand by the grand deal and work to de-escalate tensions with north korea. and the president speech to the united nations general assembly leading up prime time programming on c-span at 8:00 p.m. and will be followed by your phone calls and social media comments. navy secretary richard spencer and the chief and naval operations admiral john richardson testified this morning about recent navy ship collisions the uss fitzgerald of the uss mccain were both hit by cargo ships. the senate armed services committee is looking into why and you can see that hearing tonight starting at 9:00 eastern. in houston, texas, recovery continues after -- we followed senators as they follow the really efforts. congressman jean greene spoke with volunteers and hurricane victims.

congressman peter king says any tax reform legislation must retain the state and local tax reductionst be taxed twice. year to weigh in come a, kristen tate and michael starr hawkins. good morning. it's been a good morning. >> good morning, cheryl. cheryl: if you're in new york, new jersey, california, this plan does not work for you. you will not get support on either side even though he was threatening the congressmen yesterday. how are they going to handle this? >> getting rid of these big perks for high tax states, levels the playing field and makes her federal tax system much more fair. why should people in kansas be subsidizing the policies of a place like new york. if the people of new york don't like it, they can vote to lower their taxes. overall this is a great plan that will stimulate the economy come and make america competitive again and will allow americans to file taxes on a postcard. i think you'll see broad support for this among hard-working americans throughout the country. maybe not from people in high tax areas, but they need to lower their taxes if they have a pr

a lot of republicans in high-taxed states that are also going to push back against people like peter kingdan donman in new york, you know n manhattan, on the island of manhattan alone something -- the average of claims is like $25,000 and people won't give that up easily and ask state representatives to fight for it. paul: james that's 1.25 trillion or so over ten years, state and local tax deduction to finance lower rates, you take that out, you don't get lower rates? >> it's a good reform even though it's going to hurt people like us temporarily, what it does it creates a big incentive for the high-taxed poorly run states like we live in to reform. [laughter] >> you look at the big picture. this is about growing the economy, getting out of the sort of obama-era slump that we are still bumping along. second quarter was good but we have to sustain it. i think that is what they need to focus on, how do you grow jobs. paul: dan, where do you see the political vol washingtons getting through congress? you have class-war issue, special interest, any others? >> yeah, the ego of senate. paul: w

from some of the republin coressman, david, that senator schumer no doubt referringo, likes of peter king, says he is concerned abouthat. some others sdhe same today. th is certainly something we'll watch as thedavid: we cane can ask one of them coming up. connell thanks. here is claudia tenney republican congresswoman from new york, financial services committee member. claudia, thank you for coming in. i have to ask because this is a key issue not just with democrats but also with republicans like yourself, you come from a high-taxed state, is the elimination of the deduction of state and local taxes a deal-breaker on this tax plan for you? >> i don't think it's a deal breaker. i think it is an important issue. you have to remember as very high-taxed state, over 30% of the filers nationwide are using the state and local tax deduction. in new york state alone, over 50% are in the 200 plus bracket. 44% are in the 50 to 100% bracket. you're talking about mid did i, income taxpayers. it is an issue. we're doubling standard deduction, which will eliminate itemizers around provide relief, put

a lot of republicans in high-taxed states that are also going to push back against people like peter kingonman in new york, you know n manhattan, on the island of manhattan alone something -- the average of claims is like $25,000 and people won't give that up easily and ask state representatives to fight for it. paul: james that's 1.25 trillion or so over ten years, state and local tax deduction to finance lower rates, you take that out, you don't get lower rates? >> it's a good reform even though it's going to hurt people like us temporarily, what it does it creates a big incentive for the high-taxed poorly run states like we live in to reform.

cnn spoke with congressman peter king from new york who described the interaction between president trumpck schumer as almost a love-in. they were finishing each other's sentences. i don't know if it's a pivot as much as it is a dramatic u-turn. can the president trust democrats? >> let's not kid ourselves. this is a transactional relationship between these guys. they're both new yorkers. maybe there's some camaraderie there. i think they have something of a history. this is not them suddenly joining forces to ride off into the sunset. this is a very specific thing that they did. >> all right. zach wolf -- you know, it's been a crazy week for politics, no question. it's -- natural disasters are the headlines here. interesting. zach wolf, digital director, we'll talk to you again next hour. thank you. >>> let's check cnn "money stream" this morning. u.s. stock futures pointing lower partly because the value of the dollar is weaker because of some moves out of the european central bank. got the two hurricanes. worries about north korea. stock markets in europe also lower. and shares in asia

melissa: blake, really quick, republican congressman of peter king in new york say he may not be ableo get behind this because of the elimination of the state and local tax deduction. if you're in a high income state like new york, california, new jersey, he has republicans coming out saying wait a minute. that seems to be another side of this fight we're already seeing start. reporter: that is part of it but the white house would argue two things. hey, by the time you add up the pluses, add up minuses, even with that deduction going away for most people, this is a net positive for them. to the flip, with this possible fourth tax bracket, by the time you lower that rate just a smidgen but take away local and state tax deduction the wealthiest would pay more. the bottom line all of this there is messaging issue i guess if you want to say, they have to explain to people in those states why it is good for them to take away that deduction. melissa: that needs to be explained to some of the congressman, especially in his own party. blake burman at the white house. thank you so much. david:

that was in an interview with peter king of "sports illustrated." >> kennedy: it has been really interesting to see the reaction from some of the people who supported the president. some of the team owners in jacksonville and new england who are now siding with their players. it is one of those issues that has been forced to a head, it makes people very uncomfortable. football is supposed to be escapism. it is where you are cooking chicken wings and you have a big pot of chili, you are the national anthem coming into route on your favorite team. it is very difficult to escape from the politics, i let people express themselves, i think that the flag is so beautiful and so strong that it encapsulates people who have different voices and different opinions. that is fine, but the players have to realize that there is some risk of alienating fans who absolutely love them. they love these players and these teams, but now there is such a division, we will see if they can overcome that. my ultimate question is, what is the goal of this? what do you want from this? is there a list of demands? somethi

what pressure does that put on the tom reeds, peter kings of the world, republican congressman from blue are a lot of them? >> there are a lot of them. it adds a great deal of pressure. they're going to see what it's going to lead to, taxes going up in new york even further. that is a big pressure for these members of the house to deal with. that being said, the problem with graham/cassidy is that it is only out there to -- as a pr stunt. it is not about solving the health care problem. i agree with paris you are looking at setting this debate up with bernie sanders as do you want to overhaul all of our health care system, because we're moving it to something that will affect every single american, or do you want to look at this idea of what's the uninsured americans who are vid individual payers who have to buy it themselves which is only 10 or 20 million americans it would be affecting. this debate is tricky and one that is not going -- if graham/cassidy passes it will not end up being good for the republicans. >> that's interesting. paris, let me get you on this, facebook, is all over

even peter king in new york called him a hypocrite for what he has been saying now about harvey versus was saying for sandy before. but i think there is also a bigger >> they have to contend with things they have put forth. if they are talking about reforming for example flood insurance programs, and we see that this is going to happen more and more and more sadly because of climate change, but they've denied climate change. so how do they reconcile the need to focus on policies and sharpen them with the philosophical positions that have been some things that the republicans have taken up as of late. >> probably come down to economics. on this holiday weekend, two of my favorites, thank you for coming in today. >>> up next, i'll talk to one of the heros of hurricane harvey. stick around. your big idea... will people know it means they'll get the lowest price guaranteed on our rooms by booking direct on choicehotels.com? hey! badda book. badda boom! mr. badda book. badda boom! book now at choicehotels.com smootso find a venus smooth that contours to curves, the smoother the skin, the mo

but some of the republicans in new york and new jersey like representative peter king has said we're not going to hold a grudge. we're still going to support the people of texas despite the fact that all those texas republicans voted against our relief bill. i'd just like to point out this is a critical issue. we're talking about $3.3 billion that fema has in its federal disaster relief funding. we're talking about how hurricane sandy needed $50 billion, and katrina got over $100 billion in relief. sheila jackson lee, the democrat from houston, has asked for $150 billion. they're going to have to talk about significant money. we're hearing from wall street estimates of tens of billions of dollars in destruction from this 500-year flooding. so i think it's not realistic for the president to think he's going to be able to tack on whatever else he wants. hurricane funding is going to go through. senator mitch mcconnell said there's no way we're not going to raise the debt ceiling. but let's not forget the latest polling shows that fewer than 4 in 10 americans support the president's bor

there are republicans like new york congressman peter king there saying he can't support this if you eliminate state and local tax deductions. workers have double taxation while on the conservative side the president got better news. mark meadows from the freedom caucus endorsed the plan today. moderate democrats gave this sort of a good start. said that maybe they can see supporting it down the road. but warned republicans they can either move to the middle a little bit on this or face a similar fate as healthcare, same quote continue down the same failed path as they did with healthcare by producing a bill that caters to the extremes of their party. the president said no, no, no at the rally. that's not what this will be. he gave a long case for it. senator tim scott was short and sweet. >> tax reform has not historically been a partisan issue. and it does not have to be a partisan issue today. i really believe we're going to have numerous democrats come over and sign because it's the right thing to do. >> if i could say it as simple as possible, i would say that this tax reform co

. >> your friend peter king noted last week there were fewer than ten nfl players who kneeled and did some kind of protest. depending how you count it this year, 250, including entire teams. how specific is that to see a movement like that. i can't think of anything like that in the nfl? >> no. but the president galvanized players of all backgrounds and beliefs. drew brees in his complete says he never would feel not comfortable standing for the national anthem but would stand locking arms with foley oh plel players, black and white. with a hand on a shoulder of a black player expressing his point of view and pointedly said he found the president's remarks inappropriate. which is kind. >> what's interesting, the president could have used this as a teachable moment, to say, here's why i believe we should stand for the national anthem. here's what i believe it stands for, but he took a different tact. and it has -- look, we saw what was happening with just the fans yelling at each other. you know, there is something contagious about divisiveness. >> yeah. and it plays in certain quarter
