take off, that slumbering giant of the american economy to rise again. militarily. and >> we will take a couple of questions. inwithholding the change february, do you believe there is a need for republicans to go out and sell this build -- this bill? >> absolutely. if we can't solve this to the american people, we ought to go in another line of work. this is an important competition for the country. forhis is an important item the country. do you feel like you were in , that you were going to take this out to the public and show them, but it took a long time? many years later, after democrats lost an election -- >> it would be easier to sell if you have more money into your pocket that the government is now running health care. we believe this is something that american people will respond to positively. surprised the democrats all decided voting against middle-class tax relief and making american businesses more competitive -- it was a smart vote. i will take one more question. the politics of taxing long-term for individuals will catch up to you guys?

any rise will be seen as an endorsement of not only the strength of the american economy, but also the global economy, ten years on from the financial crisis. there have been three rises since december 2016 and markets are already factoring in another rise later today. us economic growth has hit an annualised rate of more than 3% in the past two quarters, while the unemployment rate is at its lowest since 2000. us jobs growth was once better than expected in november, with payrolls rising by 228,000 with the unemployment rate holding steady at 4.1%. and in october the imf upped its forecast for the global economy and now predicts growth of 3.6% this year and 3.7% in 2018. meanwhile, the us stock market has also been surging ahead — it's regularly broken records throughout the year. but just who should take the credit for it? turns out there's a difference of opinion — as samira hussain reports now from new york. in yet another campaign style event, us president donald trump took to the stage to talk about his accomplishments. among them, us markets. the stock market is hitting an a

put the american economy in the lead in the global economy again. i feel very passionate about it i scared the heck out of the parliamentarian sitting next to me. i almost broke the thing i got a little excited. ainsley: what is your message for the people who live in the high tax state? listen as americans it's going to be great for our country if you look at the numbers and read the bill. for the folks watching us that do live in the high tax states. how can you promise them -- we were told the president was running. he said everyone's taxes were going to gown down. people voted for him for that reason. because of the local and state tax, that's not necessarily the case. a lot of those folks are middle class individuals. >> well, actually, if you actually run the numbers, ainsley, and we run a lot of numbers. ainsley: okay. >> the average taxpayer in every income group including people in these high tax states still get a tax cut. ainsley: really? >> very high income people, perhaps, if they have a very clever account tant and using lots of deduct

capacity of the american people and the strength of the american economy. i have no doubt that what we've seen in this year alone where the economy is coming back, optimism is back, and all of that is before today as this tax cut takes effect and takes hold. as people begin to feel the freedom from that mandate and obamacare that was repealed. think about that. for the last seven years the american people have had to pay a tax for the privilege of not having to buy insurance that provided them with minimal coverage. >> laura: democrats really thought they had derailed the trump train but tonight the president seems to have all the momentum. to put it all in perspective, we are joined by fox news contributor and senior editor for the federalist mollie hemingway and the vice president for the center for american progress. great to have you both on. igor, let's start with you. you heard with the vice president said, confident, optimistic. he said we are just getting started. >> i will agree with you. start like that. you said most of the tax cuts go to the ric

he had a very clear vision regarding the contribution of american agriculture to the american economy. unlike many people, frankly, who do not understand the depth and degree of the contribution of the american agriculture to the economy. he demonstrated a great intuition and instinct as to how that would work and a great affinity for their plight in life in rural america that was not essentially recovering the same way some urban districts were. and he asked me what i knew about those kinds of things. we had a very businesslike discussion. it was essentially a job interview. he went on and consulted with others and interviewed many other people, and in january all back and said he would like to offer me the job of secretary of agriculture if i would accept. i thought it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and i gladly welcomed the challenge. steve: i'm sure your friends and family ask the question, what is he really like? secretary perdue: he is very thoughtful and a good corporate leader in his questions and incisiveness getting to the heart of an issue. most great leaders, be the

so this is really important for the american economy for making our businesses competitive in the global economy and giving middle class taxpayers, you know, a break. so we are very excited about this. our negotiators have been working on this all along. they have come together. now they are going through the process of, you know, dotting the i and crossing the t and making sure all of the numbers work and all the stuff you need to do to bring a bill into final tip top shape to get going. we are very happy where we are. like i said, we launched the framework of this tax reform at the beginning of this process. after listening to members from both house and the senate. working with the administration. and then we passed the bill out of the house. pass the bill out of the senate. very similar bills. so, getting these things to sync up wasn't all that difficult because they sore close to begin with that's where we're and very excited. our goal was get it done by christmas all along. get it done by christmas so we start the new year with a new tax code so we can get this economy growing and

they don't believe in the american economy, the one to do things that are good for workers but voted against the bill, we have been saying the number one impact is to make america competitive again, fix the business taxes, deliver tax cuts for the middle income. this is not about tax cuts for billionaires, it is tax cuts for working families, people with kids, you will see this in the polls as people get paychecks, democrats complain about this. heather: democrats not willing to budge on the terms of the shutdown so republicans will have to do it on their own again. another story we are following, car dealership in virginia busted as suspected money-laundering for a hezbollah linked in lebanon, the owner the same it aide who was paid 7 million taxpayer dollars to provide it services to democratic members of congress. joining me is be investigative reporter luke roseback. this seems like something that would be out of a movie. doesn't seem like something that would be actually happening. take us through this with imran awan a family. >> dozens of house democrats as an it guy he can re

american society and the american economy will have an even harder time to recover because if you don't have money you can you know unlike the obama administration not put money into the economy when you needed it it's been what you don't have right and when you you know if you. the the interest rate at zero percent and create deficit the next time a crisis with it will hit and make no mistake it is will hit there is no capacity to actually you know protect the very poor and the middle class from the economic fallout these republican tax laws have created i want to take this now and i want to shift to the worries that are coming from overseas particularly here in europe the biggest economies are alarmed about these tax reforms the finance ministers from germany france italy the u.k. and spain they wrote a letter to the u.s. secretary of treasury treasury in it to say that the government the u.s. should stick to its international obligations in the show you part of the letter that they wrote they went on to say that the inclusion of certain less conventional international tax provisions

earlier this year we set a target of adding zero regulatory costs onto the american economy. today, i am proud to announce that we beat the goal by a lot. instead of adding the costs as so many others have done and it's hurting them. for the first time in decades we've achieved regulatory savings. we blew the target off of the water. within the first 11 months, we canceled or delayed over 1,000 planned regulatory actions more than any previous president by far and you'll see the results when you look at the stock market and when you see companies coming back into the country. instead of eliminating the old regulations for everyone new regulation we have eliminated 22. that is a big difference. we aimed for two for one and in 2017, we have 22-1. by the way to the regulations, t are in place to the job better. to create jobs and to do what we have to do we are now reducing the size and scope and cost of federal regulations for the first time in decades and we are already seeing the incredible results. the stock market is soaring to new record levels. 85 not including today and

one thing trump is certainly successful at just stimulating the american economy. and if he pushes through massive tax cuts in the u.s. that will lead to german companies investing. in this studio. as a result their profits and jobs could shift to the u.s. as well america first trumps favorite slogan might get a boost from a tax reform package. a crypto currency exchange in south korea is bankrupt and closing it was hacked again after losing thousands of big coins earlier this year there are security concerns about virtual currencies which of booming the banking sector is skeptical fed chair janet yellen recently said big point is not a stable source of value and does not constitute legal tender she also said it's highly. you live japan's finance minister tara wasso echoed that bitcoin has no it yet been proven to be credible enough to become a currency and that's despite is government officially recognizing big cohen earlier this year but i am if head christine the god has a different take on big coin saying it could give currencies and monetary policy a run for t

this bill has the power to reshape the american economy in far-reaching and unforeseen ways. it has the power to send families into economic hardship. it has the power to threaten this country's ability to hold these special promises, to uphold these special promises of medicare, medicaid, and social security. and this bill was written in the shadows, written in the dark, billions and billions of dollars worth of changes tumbling out at the last second. the result is special interest influence and hushed conversation in back rooms. no public hearings on the specifics of this legislation. and people wonder why the american people oppose it. republicans have chosen to ignore them. chosen to ignore them. what's happening is undemocratic. it is wrong. and i'm here to say this vote mr. hatch: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from utah is recognized. mr. hatch: mr. president, the senate will soon vote on the conference report for h.r. 1, the tax cuts and jobs act. i've waited a long time to give this final statement in support of tax reform -- mr. president, i ask

is going to grow the american economy. and, what we are seeing is that -- american corporations and businesses are not competitive in the global economy because we have the highest tax rate in the industrialized world. all we did is adopt ideals that people like barack obama and other democrats have proposed when it comes to the business tax rates. and should try to get our businesses more competitive, to increase take-home pay and grow the number of jobs available to working class families. >> i don't think they proposed that provision. meanwhile, the democrats are warning this is going the trig ear mandatory cut in many government programs, including a $25 billion cut in medicare. leader pelosi has written a letter. to the senate and house lead nrs the republican party saying given the lack of bipartisanship to date and your effort to provide massive tax cuts to the wealthy at the expense of the middle class while adding $1.5 trillion to the deficit, it will be your responsibility to deal with the con consequences. she's

american society and the american economy will have an even harder time to recover because if you don't have money you can you know unlike the obama administration not put money into the economy when you needed or you can't spend what you don't have right and when you you know if you. the the interest rate at zero percent and create deficit the next time a crisis with it will hit and make no mistake this will hit there is no capacity to actually you know protect the very poor and the middle class from the economic fallout these republican tax laws have created i want to take this now and i want to shift to the worries that are coming from overseas particularly here in europe the biggest economies are alarmed about these tax reforms the finance ministers from germany france italy the u.k. and spain they wrote a letter to the u.s. secretary of treasury treasury in it to say that the government the u.s. should stick to its international obligations in the show you part of the letter that they wrote they went on to say that the inclusion of certain less conventional international tax provis

it is a signal, with the big fiscal stimulus possibly coming to the american economy with the trump tax plans, but still quite low inflation, but it shows the american economy has reached that escape philosophy and is starting to grow. but the global story is global growth, we are in pretty good territory at the moment on that. question about brexit. it has been an extraordinary week from theresa may getting a deal, moving to later today we will get clearance, the green light for transition and trade talks. but even in the last few minutes, i noticed that the commission presidentjean claude—juncker making it clear it is going to get tougher yet. claude—juncker making it clear it is going to get tougher yetm claude—juncker making it clear it is going to get tougher yet. it is going to get tougher yet. it is going to get tougher yet. it is going to get tougher and we are now likely to move into discussions about the implementation phase, what does britain do between getting a free trade deal if britain does get that and leaving the european union in 2019? jean claude—juncker has s

last week the senate passed a critical tax reform bill to jumpstart the american economy by putting more money into the pockets of hardworking families and small businesses, creating more jobs and economic opportunity, and taking steps to ensure that jobs and business stay right here in america. this is a once in a generation opportunity and we're meeting the challenge. soon the house and senate will meet in conference to produce a final bill so we can send it to the president's desk. then the american people can begin to enjoy the relief. i want to take a few minutes to thank a number of people who were key to getting us to this point. first, president trump and vice president pens who fought for the promise they made to the american people to caught their taxes. their tenacity, commitment to the effort and engagement with the senate were invaluable. i look forward to working with them on the many other priorities we plan to deliver for our country. the president and vice president are great allies and we accomplish much working together. i also want to acknowledge the efforts of secret

the high potent economy that drive the american economy without those we would not be number one in manufacturing to the tech industry or everything in the entertainment industry or hospitality probably not one in the number of graduate coming out of universities of beautiful people to say there is a future in the great state of california. immigrants have proven a lifeblood to the american economy and they have proven they revitalize communities and have also proven use the healthcare system last than americans born in this country so when americans try to point the finger for what we cns i say not just as the attorney general but read up on your fax because the revitalization of the american dream comes because people every day use their hands and brains and those that are replenishing the stock of goodwill and good future it is clear we will see that happen in california and if successful throughout the country as well.

we're encouraged that this is going to get the american economy the jolt of energetic needs to give people the opportunity they deserve. so we're so excited about this opportunity and we're so thankful to the men and women of this country sent here to work on their behalf and that we are able to actually deliver this generational defining reform and this moment. so i'd like the senate pro tem senator hatch to joining me in signing this legislation.
