We are here today to discuss our vision for America's economic
Revival we want lower taxes
bigger paychecks and more jobs for American truckers and for
American workers
Network News has become so partisan distorted and fake that licenses must be challenged and if appropriate
Revoked not fair to public if it's an anti-trump story. There's no vetting required
They'll just run with it the Boy Scouts are not the Boy Scouts anymore apparently. It's the tyranny of political correctness
It's it's another reason. Why Trump won. I think people are tired of this
And good morning to you you are watching Fox and Friends first on this Thursday morning very early 4 a.m.
here on the East Coast
And we certainly appreciate you waking up and joining us or if you're just getting home joining us as well
we want to go right to our top story for you right now the
President Trump is set to take a major step in fulfilling another campaign promise
Today after taking his tax plan on the road Grif Jenkins joins us now live from Washington DC with some more good morning Grif
Good morning
Heather calling truckers America's Heroes
President Trump did take that tax plan on the road sand that this plan puts more money in the pockets of working families it is
Fair to the middle class he hailed a growing economy and gains on Wall Street
But says to truly get America back on the right track we have to transform an outdated and burdensome tax code
Under our framework we make the zero bracket bigger and get rid of the 10% bracket
and we're reducing the
15% rate down to 12%
Now it's early
But bear with me the plan would reduce the existing
Seven brackets or eight if you include the zero bracket as he does down to a simple four there would be zero percent 12 percent
25 percent and 33 percent
The key is the expansion of the zero percent bracket to include a lot of those who would have traditionally fallen into the bottom two
brackets under this complicated current system in addition the plan doubles the standard deduction
For individuals and families and it cuts that corporate rate from 35 percent to 20 percent
President Trump called for bipartisan support for this plan but Democrats pay in the speech is nothing more than a massive tax cut for the
Wealthy and big corporations House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi issuing this statement saying quote we need real
Bipartisan tax reform that puts the middle class first and that means not one penny in taxco voice for the wealthiest 1%
The goal of course will be getting all Republicans on board the conservative house freedom caucus
Initially says they're with it in a little later this morning. We expect to hear a major speech from Speaker Paul Ryan
about this very plan with a live audience
So we'll be staying to stay tuned
Alright stay tuned right here because we will talk with the owner of a small business on how it impacts him coming up a little
Bit later. Thank you so much Griff appreciate it
Well president Trump meantime is is hoping as Griff just said for Democratic support of his tax plan
with the goal of getting it pass by the end of the year an
exclusive interview with our very own Sean Hannity he explains why this plan gives Americans the tax cuts they had been promised for years
When we first introduced it and for years, they talked about tax reform. I said the problem with the word reform nobody understands
What it means because reform could mean you gonna raise taxes? This is the largest tax cut in the history of our country?
So right now Sean we are the highest taxed nation in the world and
we're going to be now down in the lower rung in terms of taxes a family can get and a business can get
especially a subchapter S
You know you're doing different kinds of things with your businesses some people run it individually
But you can get as much as a 40% tax reduction again. It's the largest tax reduction
Well taking his pitch to the people may actually be the key
But Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume says that it's going to be an uphill battle with those Democrats
He is doing now on this measure what he really never did on Obamacare repeal that is to say he's getting out
He's talking about specific within it
he's making an earnest effort to sell it to people and
It's not that easy with text the tax cuts to do that the problem politically always Martha with when you're cutting tax rates is that?
It's a mathematical fact that the more you pay the more you gain from a tax. Cut that's just the way it works
We live in a country where what some
70% of the taxes are paid by about 10 percent of the people so you begin to cut the rates the ten percent are bound
To benefit, this is the opens the avenue for the perennial democratic criticism that it's a tax cut for the rich
He's going to have to fight that the whole way
Well let's talk about one of those rich folks now - the Harvey Weinstein scandal TMZ reporting that Harvey boarded a private jet overnight and
He's heading to a sex rehab and behavior center in Arizona
He was originally supposed to head out of the country
But that plan changed apparently this latest development coming just hours after TMZ also reported that Weinstein's daughter called
911 that her dad was
suicidal and depressed
And now the Justice Department ordering the FBI to investigate the laundry list of sexual assault allegations
That is according to the Daily Mail as for Hillary Clinton it has been six days
and she has finally said that she will give Weinstein's campaign donation back sort of
Would you give the money back?
well
There's no one to give it back to what other people
Are saying what my former colleagues are saying is they're going to donate it to charity and of course?
I will do that. I give 10% of my income to charity every year this will be part of that
there's no there's no doubt about it a
Weinstein and his family have given more than 1.4 million dollars in political contributions to the Democratic Party and
then in this strange turn of events
New York Post or page six reporting that Harvey's wife is leaning on friend
Yes, you see there looma Abbadon
She's apparently at close Clinton aid we knew that?
Whose husband Anthony Weiner was just sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting a teenager, but apparently they are friends
When the wake of the Weinstein scandal many are now saying that the party that champions women's rights
Has an obvious double standard when it comes to sexism
columnist and Fox News contributor mark Stein says that it's time to call out the left I
Think it's actually worse than that because if you notice the things that the the left gets annoyed
they're the same way if Mitt Romney who is
Nobody's idea of a sex fiend
and he happens to say that as
Encouraging women to apply for a job he phrases it rather clumsily, and he says binders full of women all these
late-night talk show hosts everyone
He's a punchline for two weeks afterwards dear old decent mitt because he's a stiff who
Stands up when a woman enters the room and holds the door for her as she as she leaves
Meanwhile they're completely heartless
about the huge mountain of human debris
Piled up by this Hollywood Pig over the last three decades
Wow tell us what's really good now?
Let's talk about the Boy Scouts and Boy Scouts of America will now allow girls to join its ranks
Is it as relevant for little girls is it his little voice and?
Educators and our parents have said it absolutely is so we provide a pathway so that girls can now participate fully in Cub Scouting
Jackie valiums joins us now with the story that has got everyone talking this morning so a lot of responses to this yes
Good morning, all right, so this is a tradition of the Boy Scouts
that's been on the books for a century now and
Things are starting to change starting next year the move shaking up the tradition that has been here forever the Boy Scouts of America
Announcing girls will be allowed to become Cub Scouts starting next year
That will allow them to eventually obtain the coveted Eagle Scout rank in a program for older girls is expected to be available in
2019 also giving them a path to become an Eagle Scout the Boy Scouts say and it's important change, but that change well
It's igniting some serious backlash this morning with some calling it
unnecessary PC as
An Eagle Scout I'm disgusted, and I'm disappointed they hate patriotism. What the left is trying to accomplish is a
deconstruction of
Traditional values, it's the tyranny of political correctness. It's it's another reason. Why Trump won
I think people are tired of this boys should be able to have a boys club girls should be able to have a girls club
Well Donald Trump jr.. Also weighing in on Twitter writing this strange
I thought that's what the Girl Scouts was for so what about the Girl Scouts now?
Well the organization
Blasting the decision saying it's all about declining numbers and revenue on social media right now a lot of mixed reaction
We're getting for you, Isaiah posting on Twitter as a former hashtag Eagle Scout and longtime supporter of hash Boy Scouts. I have had enough
Katie to PC I told them to take off take me off their list and yeah right Heather
And there's a lot going on on Facebook as well one saying I really do get the equality between boys and girls
But seriously why can't boys have a boys club if Girl Scouts aren't rigorous enough?
Then you know what for these adventurous things
We all kind of have our own Boy Scout Girl Scout or a little of that well
That's a good question that what becomes as a Girl Scouts, and we'll the Boy Scouts. We called the Boy Scouts
Well the Girl Scouts the leaders. They're not too. Happy about this one right they need to have their own clubs
There's a reason for this
We want to know what everyone on Facebook Twitter and Instagram has to say about this Heather people have fired up for sure yes
So have the PC police gone too far let Jackie know of course what you think about this
She'll be on Facebook live Twitter
Or you can send us an email and we're gonna share a little bit of that later in the show right yeah
I'll be right back in with you throughout the mornings. Thank you as always well
The time now is about 10 minutes after the top of the hour, and he's an illegal immigrant
He's accused of beheading his own mother and now he might walk free. What will tell you about that
plus-one College just banned Christians from the freshman faire wente her why
Sadly the Democrats have become
Obstructionists they want to stop they don't want to do anything productive. They want to raise your taxes very very substantially
Welcome back
You're watching Fox and Friends first at the Las Vegas police department is now defending its investigation into the country music concert
Massacre a Sheriff Joseph Lombardo telling local media that the timeline of events that it could change again
The department responding to criticism after police revealed that a Mandalay Bay security guard was shot before
Steven paddock opened fire on concert goers not after which was what they thought initially and they told us
Now some brand new audio emerging of calls for help from inside that Hotel listen
All the police someone's fired a gun up here, so I was fired a rifle on the 32nd floor down the hallway
when autopsy of pattex brain showed nothing abnormal
But he may have been on an anti-anxiety medication that is known to cause aggressive behavior so the search for the motive continues
Well, it's student accused of murdering a campus police officer may have used a stolen gun a federal grand jury indicted
Texas Tech student to Hollis Daniels for murdering and possession of a stolen firearm
Police say that Daniels pulled out a gun and then he shot this officer Floyd East jr.
In the head at the police station while being questioned about drugs that were found in his dorm room
University officials say that daniels did not steal an officer's gun as originally reported
So let's go back to our top story president the president says that it's time to get the wheels in motion talking tax reform
alongside hundreds of truckers in the heart of Pennsylvania
Nothing gets done in America without the hard-working men and women of the trucking industry
that is why my
administration has taken historic steps
To remove the barriers that have slowed you down
America first means putting
American truckers first
America first our next guest was there and says that this is the message he and other business owners have been waiting to
Hear Doug Henry's president CEO of Henry molded products, and he joins us now live good morning to you
Thank you so much for joining us
Good morning to you. Thanks for having me so you were there at the rally last night in person give us your impression and I
Understand I got a little tip that you were smiling when you heard what President Trump had to say just there
Well he hit a lot of wide-ranging topics, but he particularly focused on
maintaining the robust
Inertia that the economy has been enjoying not only in the stock market low unemployment
GDP growth in the last quarter, but also focusing on what our favorite subject is the upcoming?
reform of the tax code and with particular emphasis on
The benefits not only for the general popular in the middle class, but the independent and small business community
so how specifically will that help you and your company your small business your
Employees how will it benefit them?
Well, we're a great case study for the wide-ranging impact as a private company having
Lower taxes increased margins enable us to reinvest in the company
and I can tell you that many of our colleagues are just simmering waiting to take advantage of this economy and
grow their companies in our case
We're capital intensive, so it takes a lot of money to buy the machinery and equipment to improve productivity
hire more people
Create more goods and services in our case
We're a packaging company, and we serve our friends in the large public and global company communities
So I understand the president said that you know more as a result of this plan more than 30 million
Americans who have small businesses like you
Will have a 40% cut in their marginal tax rate
So obviously that trickles down and benefits people within your company
Well, that was the president's announcement and it's in the linemen with some of the numbers that we've heard in the past
But we are still holding fast to the fact that we really want to have tax parity with our large
Public and global corporation friends who we serve not only as vendors, but don't forget
We are the innovators the job creators and our employment base
Represents well over half of the total employment in the country. What's your impression of President Trump?
You know you were there listening last night along with hundreds of other people
How many people do you think were president and were present to listen to him and do you believe what he's saying?
Well he was certainly speaking to an audience of supporters last evening and yesterday afternoon
But I think we share with the general population the opportunities and the optimism that can come out of these initiatives
He certainly seems to be focused on them because he brought our colleagues and the leadership
secretary minuchin and
Gary Cohen who's chairman of the Economic Council of Advisors and
That means he brought all the horsepower with him. That's going to be focused on this tax reform and
maintaining our
economic inertia yeah
So that's got to make you feel pretty good when all those people that can actually make the changes are there
Talking to you and telling you what they're gonna do
Doug thank you so much for joining us we of course wish you continued success with your company and appreciate you coming on
Thanks so much. I enjoyed being with you all right. Have a great day
Welcome back have you heard about this a Christian group at Oxford University
Excluded from a campus event event and you won't believe why Carli Shimkus with fox news headlines 24/7 Sirius XM
115 here to explain, so we've got a couple things that we're talking about but we're going to begin here
Yeah, this one is causing international outrage
So it's a good place to start so a Christian group was banned from attending this event for a college freshman at Oxford University
Now the event organiser said that the Christian Union
was going to be banned because they would possibly make students feel unwelcome and
Marginalized I think we have a email statement from that student who says we recognize the wonderful advantages of having Christian Union
Representatives at the freshers or freshman fair but are concerned that there is potential for harm to
freshers who are already struggling to feel welcome at
Oxford so this happened by the way at Bailey ol college at Oxford which was founded by a bishop so my half times
Changed and I gotta say this not sitting well with a lot of people affiliated
With the college and people across the country there let's take a look at some reaction
Peggy says so the answer is to alienate the Christian group typical liberal establishment
Martin says a disgrace. Why are the elite so keen to disregard Christian beliefs?
Which have been the backbone of this country's culture for years and Maurice says pathetic embarrassed as alumni that
students need protecting from ideas they might not agree with well guess what you know those students spoke out and they
you know overturn the ban, and what ended up happening is they had a
multi-faith Staller stationed at this fair
Several of the different rooms come together because I was going to ask where any other groups banned
There was where they just it was specifically a target on the Christian faith
He said this this Khalid this student said that he didn't want any religions represented
And then they wounded up having a bunch of religions run
