Attorney general Jeff Sessions announce President Trumps expected decision to end dreamers at 11 00 a. M. Bill President Trump, big week coming up. What else is new . John roberts is live on the north lawn. Another big week we should say, john. That was the master of understatement. The president , we have big days at the white house, let alone big weeks. The president a short time ago leaving no question where he is going with the deferred action for Childhood Arrivals Program tweeting out congress, get ready to do your job, daca. This is perhaps the most controversial announcement to come out of the white house from a number of stand points and one that could have a profound impact on the Republican Party. The president dispatching Jeff Sessions at 11 00 this morning to lay out the administrations policy on daca. He is expected to say the president intends to end daca as we know it but delay rescinding it for a period of six months to give Congress Time to come up with a fix. In a statement senator Lindsey Graham who has spoken several times with Jared Kushner about Immigration Reform says he is okay with the plan. If President Trump chooses to give congress six months to find a legislative solution i will be supportive of such a position. I always believed daca was a president ial overreach. Kevin mccarthy agrees its the responsibility of congress to address the issue of dreamers. Listen here. Everybody understands our immigration system is broken. Congress needs to act. This is a role for congress. Thats one thing we can talk about. We need to secure our borders but we also have to have an immigration system that works. And if im correct about what the president s action will take, he will give congress six months to act and Congress Needs to do their job and solve the problem. Some talk of the white house of using daca as a lever to get what the president wants on Immigration Reform. That would be, for example, trading some legislation on daca for funding for a border wall. So well see where all of this goes. You touched a bit, john on how it might play out in the Republican Party. Expand a bit there. There are some dire predictions that are floating around out there today. There are some people who told me they believe this is going to ignite a civil war in the Republican Party pointing to what happened with eric cantor and dave brant taking his seat in 2013. That might happen again and deepen the split that exists between the various factions in the Republican Party, might even lead to the republicans losing control of congress and then the law of unintended consequences goes from there. One person told me the president is doing exactly the opposite of what he was elected to do. So there would be a lot of republicans very unhappy, im sure, this morning with what they hear Jeff Sessions say. You mentioned the meeting today on tax reform. That was one of the things the president was elected to do and he will get down to work on that today meeting with the socalled big six. The Senate Majority leader machine mcconnell, orrin hatch from utah. Paul ryan and kevin brady and Steve Mnuchin and gary cohn here at the white house. The push for tax reform still going on and well see what happens with daca. A lot on the table today. Bill analysis and Chris Stirewalt. Good morning to you. Throw a lot at you. September agenda, here we go. The house is in session for 12 days. The senate is in session for 17. On the agenda you have the debt ceiling, you have budget reconciliation, you have Hurricane Harvey aid, tax reform maybe, maybe not and you have daca. Wow. Other than that nothing to do. Bill take the last one because its the headline of the day. Can congress if deferred, get this done in six months . I think they could get the most simple version. There is no constituents i shouldnt say that. There is a fringe constituency in favor of deporting people brought to the United States as Young Children who stayed in the United States with their parents who graduated from american schools, who are part of the American Economy and life. There would be no real constituency other than radical people for yanking those people out of the country. A simple solution that could be attained swiftly. Ill voice, because were just back from holiday, ill voice some optimism for republicans. I think this could be the lever, yeah, perhaps to get enforcement stuff for the president , but maybe to some larger Immigration Reform. Remember, the reason that the last Immigration Reform proposal failed was the republicans said they couldnt trust barack obama and his administration to enforce it. I doubt there is concern about enforcement on the part of the Trump Administration. They have a clear track record. I think it could be the start of something larger for the gop. Bill balance this now. Lindsey graham said this about the decision. If President Trump makes this decision we work to find a legislative solution. I look forward to working with President Trump and my colleagues in congress. This and steve king republican from iowa. He says ending daca now gives chance to restore rule of law. Delaying so Republican Leadership can push amnesty is republican suicide. There is how do you balance that . Some voices are more powerful than others. What republicans have found out donald trump chief among them, steve king knows this well. The power in republican primaries of raising alarms about amnesty and about as steve king called raising other peoples babies and the potential menace of large immigrant population in the United States, that can play well in republican primaries. You can get votes if you frighten people. Ask jeb bush and marco rubio what happens to republicans seen as soft on immigration. The president now of President Trump and steve king and others in congress, you have the football now. You won. Youve got it. Are you going to be able to score . Are you going to be able to put something on the board or are you just going to be satisfied it wasnt the other guys . Eventually the other guys will get back in power and youll lose bigly. Bill it works that way. Nice to see you and welcome back to you. Chris stirewalt in washington thanks. Meanwhile in florida the governor, rick scott, declaring a state of emergency ahead of Hurricane Irma who hasnt come onto its shores. It has strengthened to a category 5 this morning. Eventual path uncertain but folks in florida arent taking any chances. We do need the public to stay alert and informed and ready, prepared for the end of this week. We expect everybody else to mainly take care of themselves for three days. It could take up to three days for us to reach you. With harvey, everyone is taken back to see how bad that was. Were from florida and used to this type of situation but its always good to be prepared. He took the words out of my mouth. Florida knows how to prepare for these things. Janice dean is in the Weather Center with a look at where its headed. This is a powerful storm. As the sun comes out look at this perfect category 5 storm. 175 mileperhour sustained winds. At its peak katrina was 175. We havent seen a storm of this strength in 10 years since felix. It will be a category 5 for a day or two. Were dealing with the very dangerous storm. We watch puerto rico, the bahamas, cuba and there is the center of the storm. But i dont want people to Pay Attention to the center because there is the potential five days out that this moves south of that center or north of that center. But certainly right now florida keys, south florida making preparations now. Very warm water and thats why the potential is there for it to maintain its category five status for the next 24 to 48 hours. There is the computer models, very good agreement until friday and then we start to see the trough that will potentially influence the storm coming from the north and then we think making a righthand turn but again, we have to watch this because anything can happen five days out. Florida, you are in the cross hairs. Gulf of mexico, you need to be prepared. East coast also needs to be prepared. One thing is for certain, julie, this is a very dangerous storm that could potentially be deadly. So we need to make our preparations now. Thank you so much, janice dean. Bill warm waters will gain more strength and fury. Thank you on that. As irma gains steam, houstons mayor said the city is open for business but the long road to recovery is just beginning for so many. Some neighborhoods still surrounded by contaminated floodwater. Well be live there in minutes. That recovery will take money, of course. Governor abbott saying the price tag could be as high as 180 billion. So how long until Congress Gets the aid flowing . Bill overseas, new reports that north korea is getting ready for yet again another missile test that they threat en to send, quote, gift packages to the u. S. Former u. N. Ambassador john bolton says more sanctions will not work. He is next live to explain this. Nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. Kim jongun shows no such understanding. His abusive use of missiles and his Nuclear Threats show that he is begging for war. At red lobster and we went all out to bring you even more incredible shrimp and new flavors like new Nashville Hot shrimp drizzled with sweet amber honey, and new grilled mediterranean shrimp finished with a savory blend of green onions, tomatoes, and herbs. Feeling hungry yet . Good, cuz theres plenty more where these came from. Like garlic shrimp scampi, and other classics you love. As much as you want, however you want em. But hurry, endless shrimp wont be here long. For tech advice. Dell Small Business advisor with one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business. When the rogue regime has a Nuclear Weapon and icbm pointed at you, you dont take steps to lower your guard. Only the strongest sanctions will enable us to resolve this problem through diplomacy. We have kicked the can down the road long enough. There is no more road left. Bill there is nikki haley, u. S. Ambassador to the u. N. Urging the strongest possible sanctions against north korea after the regime tested its six and most powerful bomb to date. John bolton is not a believer in sanctions. Sir, good morning to you. We found you have Vladimir Putin said this. Sanctions of any kind would be useless and ineffective. Do you believe that . What do you do . For two reasons. Number one, sanctioning the north korean economy is a waste of time. It is not really an economy. Its a prison camp. The leadership doesnt really care what the standard of living of the people is. Weve tried that before even when it was one of the poorest countries in the world it developed Nuclear Weapons and ballistic missiles. They say lets sanction the countries that do business with north korea. China has said it doesnt want north korea to have Nuclear Weapons but hasnt applied economic powers. Why not . It fears that doing so would collapse the regime in north korea, bring millions of refugees in china and lead to u. N. And south korea forces intervening. Bill diplomatically speaking take it higher. How do you think this administration is handling this so far . Well, i think making it clear that they dont see any point in negotiating with north korea is an important step and, in fact, there is only one country worth negotiating with all due respect to Vladimir Putin, its not russia, its china. And this is the pitch to make to china. You dont want to refugee flow, you dont want an uncontrolled american advance inside north korea, lets do this constructively, merge the two koreas and get rid of this nuclear threat. Its a hard argument to make and we dont have much time which is why the president s rhetoric about the potential use of military force is serious. And i think that does make a difference. We are running out of time, lets face it. Bill Steve Mnuchin said this on Fox News Sunday with trade but not just china but everybody. Well work with our allies and work with china. People need to cut off north korea economically. This is unacceptable behavior. Bill the suggestion there is you end trade with china. With china. China is far more important than everybody else who trades with north korea. So you want to cut off chinese relations with north korea, you want to cut off chinese banking in the United States. This is where i think were at risk of over selling the effectiveness of sanctions when the head of j. P. Morgan and Goldman Sachs and citibank and wells fargo call Steve Mnuchin and say youre hurting us. Sanctions work if youre prepared to bear pain yourself. I dont know if the United States is ready for that. I dont think it would work. Thats the real irony of it. We could impose massive sanctions on china and i dont think it would move them. You have to appeal to chinas selfinterest here. Therefore threatening things i dont myself have support like Nuclear Weapons for japan may help get their interest. The only way to solve the north korean problem is remove the regime or remove the weapons capability. Anything else, if we end up a year from now with this regime still in place with a Nuclear Weapons capability and north korea still in place we have lost. Bill last question. Would you expect another test from north korea . There is a lot of speculation of a Missile Launch this thursday. It is their founders day, always a time for happy celebrations in the north. Look, its clear consensus the sixth nuclear test was thermonuclear. Theyre very, very close to the point that we have long feared where they can hit any target in the United States with a Nuclear Weapon. Bill sir, thank you. John bolton in washington, d. C. Thanks for coming back. Julie much more coming up on north korea and the latest threat coming from their. President trump weighing in moments ago on twitter. A plan to help brief and beef up defenses in japan and south korea. If sanctions dont work, what will be the u. S. s next option . Well look at that with a former green beret. Bill a man calling 911 thinks he killed his wife in his sleep. Details behind this shocking story next. I had a dream and then i turn on the lights and she is dead on the floor. I think i did it. butch growls at man hes looking at me right now, isnt he . Yup. butch barks at man butch is like an old soul that just hates my guts. laughs vo you can never have too many faithful companions. Introducing the allnew crosstrek. Love is out there. Find it in a subaru crosstrek. Times up, insufficient were on prenatal care. Es. And administrative paperwork. Your days of drowning people are numbered. Same goes for you, budget overruns. And rising costs, wipe that smile off your face. Were coming for you, too. For those who wont rest until the world is healthier, neither will we. Optum. How well gets done. Bill now this bizarre 911 call out of north carolina. This is Matthew Phelps who took Cold Medicine to sleep and when he woke up he found his wife stabbed to death and he says he thinks he did it. Thats his story. Here is that disturbing call to 911 where he appears to confess. I had a dream and then i turn on the lights and she is dead on the floor. I have blood all over me and there is a bloody knife on the bed and i think i did it. Bill wow. Officers arriving at that home in northeastern raleigh discovered 29yearold robin phelps with stab wounds. She later died. He is charged with murder and being held without bail. The first order of business is to make sure that we do everything we can do to make sure the federal government is providing the support that is needed for texas and texans to heal. On wednesday morning well vote on the first relief package through the house sending it to the senate. Julie texas senator john cornyn and Kevin Mccarthy promising to deliver aid to texans. The house will vote on this on wednesday on harvey emergency bill, one of the largest, in fact, in history. A package that would funnel 8 billion into the state. Lets bring in byron york for the Washington Examiner. Thank you very much. There is debate you could clear up for us whether or not the harvey aid should be tied to the debt ceiling. Which should be the case . I think it would be if you want to aid the victims of harvey and you want to raise the debt limit, then clearly the best way to do it would be two separate bills. Vote for aid for harvey and vote to raise the debt limit. But historically efforts to raise the debt ceiling have always been tied to something controversial or something that the proponents view as must pass so people, even if they didnt really want to raise the debt ceiling, couldnt vote against it. Are you going to vote against aid for Hurricane Harvey . The only thing we know it will be deeply tied up in politics and we probably wont see whats called a clean bill to simply raise the debt ceiling. Julie it is sad to see this being politicized after this kind of natural disaster. Congressman walker said in a statement, i want you to react. The alarm trajectory of our debt in the immediate future look at florida. Weve been reporting on how this hurricane has now been upgraded to a category 5. The governor there scott has already declared a state of emergency before the hurricane has even made landfall. Does walker have a point that marrying the two could affect future Disaster Relief in the case of florida . Its no more of point than you can make about any other type of federal spending. That with a debt and what is it now, 18 trillion. With a debt that high that anything that adds to it makes it worse. The fact is given the nature of these natural disasters, given the extent of the suffering, given the extent of the News Coverage of such things, remember, after Superstorm Sandy there was a 50 billion aid bill that was passed. This is in houston is much worse an extent in damage. There is going to be a really big aid bill passed not just this first one, this 8 billion youre talking about, but much more to come. Julie do you think its ironic at all that it happens that its pretty much wellknown that texas politicians are antigovernment and other governors have said there is a little bit of hypocrisy here. I dont believe that would actually play a role into whether or not this bill gets through. Not a huge amount of hypocrisy when you look at the houston area. Hillary clinton beat donald trump in houston by many points. Houston is also an extremely diverse area, 44 hispanic, 25 white, 24 black, 6 asian. Thats not a recipe for hating Big Government and also among philosophical conservatives, small Government Conservatives, a lot of them have said along with things Like National defense, dealing with natural emergencies is a legitimate function of government so the people who were small Government Conservatives could probably accept this aid without great hypocrisy. Julie they wont have any argument there. Thank you very much. Bill 19 past the hour. Back to one of our top stories of the day. President trump making his focus of the week clear taking on illegal immigration this week. Well show great heart, daca is a very, very difficult subject for me, i will tell you. To me its one of the most difficult subjects i have. You have these incredible kids. Bill what challenges will the president face trying to end an obama action. Julie a long road ahead for people recovering in texas as many return to their homes. Figuring out how to rebuild is not the only problem many face. Were live from houston next. We thought we were under control. We had tarped and did everything we could. Buckets collecting. When we came back there was a lot of mold. Theyre opening up walls to a lot of mold in the house. Where the heart beats warm and true, thats texas. Where we always welcome you, thats texas. Where we always find a way, thats texas. Bill were keeping a very close eye on another monster of a storm. Irma has been upgraded to a category 5. Speeding toward the caribbean about 15 miles per hour. It is not clear where and when she will make landfall but meanwhile back in texas, houstons mayor said the city is open for business with water starting to recede and folks, so many beginning to return to their homes and see what they have left there. They are faced with serious challenges beyond just rebuilding and matt finn has that part of the story and is live in houston. Matt, good morning there. Were on the southwestern side of houston, which was hit very hard along the Buffalo Bayou which is still raging at this hour. There are homes around the block from us that are still under water. 11 days after Hurricane Harvey first hit. In this particular cul de sac people are starting to go through the heart wrenching process of deciding what they can and cannot keep going through their heirlooms. Seeing what is waterlogged and what can survive. Weve been reporting on looters. The police chief tells us theyre dealing with pickers. They dry out things and people are stealing them. This woman here mary said smile, we have cameras watching you and we just got your picture via text. They have a camera watching their property. Here is mary summers. She has been bravely going through belongings. This is difficult for us to report on. How do you feel this morning . A new day, still standing. I dont know what day of the week it is, maybe tuesday, maybe wednesday. Its just hard. I think we have retired and all of our belongings are sort of strewn out. The things we were able to save. We had this amazing team of volunteers, friends, neighbors, come and help us pack it up and its all in storage but we still have no power. We still have floodwaters in our home and it is salt in the wounds that people are coming around and picking up your property . Absolutely. I also know i have yardmen and other people who have helped me maintain this house who have lost everything. And they are looking for just anything and so i also know that people are desperate right now and there is a great desperation in the city but also there are so many more people that are good and so i think that we all are looking out for each other. Bill you were without a car. Your car was flooded by the water. Tell us about the s. U. V. Were looking at now. A dear life long family friend loaned me this car last night. So now i have wheels and thats a huge lift. It is to have that kind of resource available. We wish you all. Thank you for your time. Another concern here is standing water. If we had more time we could show you there is a lot of standing water in this area. There is a great concern for mosquitoes. Harrison county says their mosquito controlling equipment survived the flood so they will be able to start kicking that into gear this morning. Back to you in north julie another story. New developments in the crisis with north korea. South korea showing force today. There are new reports pyongyang could be preparing for yet another ballistic Missile Launch after north korea rogue regime claims it successfully detonated a Hydrogen Bomb. Those claims sparking an emergency meeting. U. N. Security council yesterday. Michael waltz is a former advisor to dick cheney and an author. Thank you for coming on this morning. President trump tweeted. I want to put it on the screen. Japan meantime is talking about getting its 16,000 citizens out of south korea for fear of the north going ahead and launching a missile aimed at them. What does south korea do . Do they remain on the defense and remain if or when north korea decides to strike . There is calculus that needs to change in the region. Kim jongun believes getting a Nuclear Program is critical to the survival of his regime. If he gets that program it will guarantee the destruction of his regime but more important the chinese calculus needs to change here. They dont want to put too much pressure on the North Koreans. Theyre afraid of the collapse and refugee problem and a unified Korean Peninsula friendly to the United States. They first agreed to have a more robust Missile Defense system that was very controversial there for the United States to put in place in south korea. The thaad Missile Defense system. The second thing theyre doing and where i think we could start to move the chinese, the south koreas are talking to the United States of reintroducing tactical Nuclear Weapons back onto the peninsula that was removed by president bush senior in the 1990s. That will certainly wake the chinese up. And the other thing that will wake them up is japan relooking its constitution to have a more aggressive and more robust air force, naval presence and army which has been forbidden since world war ii. I think those two things may change the chinese calculus enough to where they say you know what . This guy kim jongun is causing me more problems in the region than its worth and start to take meaningful action we hope. Julie President Trump says well see when it comes to military involvement with north korea and nikki haley said the rogue regime is begging for war. Strong words coming from washington with word of north korea setting up a missile on its east coast. How does the u. S. Get involved with south korea ramping up as it is test firing the missiles itself . Those words from Ambassador Haley and the president. Some folks say its exacerbating the situation. Its helping diplomacy and helping the economic sanction side of this because the chinese and North Koreans arent going to move unless they believe that military action truly is an option. That the United States, japan and south korea will not accept, as some of the United States, including susan rice have called for, that we will not accept nuclear blackmail from an unstable rogue regime and that if all of those other options fail, we will take his program down and well take his regime down. It is only if they believe that red line that i think you will see movement on the diplomatic and economic side. It is not war mongering on the part of the president or Ambassador Haley. It is a credible military option is what makes diplomacy so effective and what makes economic sanctions effective as well. Julie what were doing is meeting fire with fire here. North korea has conducted five Nuclear Tests since 2006 including two last year. Kim jongun has proven he is more rogue than his father. Sanctions clearly dont work and it is clear pyongyang will never give up its Nuclear Weapons program. That will never happen regardless of diplomacy and sanctions. What other options are left on the table for south korea . Let me take a moment on sanctions. This notion that weve tried everything and what we havent done and we just started is directly sanctioning chinese entities doing business with north korea. Thats only the United States. What i would like to see. Julie President Trump came out and warned any country that does business with north korea youre on notice. I would like to see an International Coalition that also sanctions all of those chinese entities and completely isolates them. It is about dialing up the pain on those elements of the chinese economy and changing the calculus of the chinese government. We can do that by advance systems with the japanese, reintroducing Nuclear Weapons with the south koreas. The chinese dont want to see that and may finally put military pressure. Julie china holds the key here. Bill watch this week. Dozens of wildfires ravaging western states. How are fire crews battling this otherwise historic blaze today . Julie it could be the next big showdown in congress one hour from now. The Trump Administration expected to announce it will get rid of an obamaera policy on illegal immigration. Our panel takes that up and new reaction continues to pour in. I think this is one of the best examples of real leadership weve seen from President Trump. Congress now has to do its job and it should be doable. Shouldnt be that hard. To anticipate is lexus. Experience the lexus rx with advanced safety standard. Experience amazing. Its time for the biggest sale of the year with the new sleep number 360 smart bed. It senses your every move and automatically adjusts on both sides to keep you effortlessly comfortable. And snoring. Does your bed do that . The new 360 smart bed is part of our biggest sale of the year where all beds are on sale. And right now the sleep number queen c2 mattress now only 699. Ends sunday we have to deal with daca with hard. I have to do it with a lot of politicians, dont forget and i have to convince them that what im saying is right. Its a very difficult thing for me because i love these kids. I love kids. Bill that was President Trump back in february. In about an hours time the a. G. , Jeff Sessions, will announce President Trumps decision ending the obamaer yeah program allowing undocumented immigrants as children to stay. But the move will likely come with a sixmonth delay to give Congress Time to act on a replacement. Codify it. Rich lowry and Fox News Contributor and great to see you both this tuesday morning. Rich, what happens . What do you think . If reporting is correct theyll make this announcement with the sixmonth delay. A good compromise and reflects the fact that president was genuinely torn over this. He realizes correctly that this was an unconstitutional an illegal act by president obama to legislate on his own. But he feels sympathy for this population of Illegal Immigrants, as he should. So he is not ending it immediately. He is giving congress the opportunity to act and congress is the nations law making authority. It should make laws including on immigration and if there will be a dream act, congress should pass it. Bill do you think they can get it done . Im skeptical. There should be a trade there, the dream acts for some security measures, but i think democrats will figure well call the president s bluff. Well see whether he will actually end this thing in six months. If he does well blame him and take the issue to the midterms. Bill what happens next . I think if donald trump were genuinely concern he would renew daca for two years plain and simple. He would renew it. Its renewed every two years. I have agree congress has got to act on this. Weve been sitting bandaids and short term fixes on the immigration problem in our country for years. When you look at the facts, most Daca Recipients came here as Young Children 70 of them under the age of 10 years old. No choice of their own with their parents. Many of them have been living in the United States for decades and are part of the fabric of our communities, theyre teachers, doctors, theyre people that you work with and see every day. So to send them back to a country where they have no ties, no connections, no real understanding of that countrys culture is a really inhumane thing. Bill my sense the a. G. Will talk about the rule of law. We can expect that phrase to come out of his mouth and we can agree on that, right . Five years ago here was the temporary fix in the rose garden. Lets be clear, this is not amnesty, this is not immunity. This is not a path to citizenship. It is not a permanent fix. This is a temporary stopgap measure that lets us focus our resources wisely while giving a degree of relief and hope to talented, driven patriotic young people. Bill what came of that . Adrian is correct. Congress hasnt done anything and you could argue there hasnt been a president to push them that way until maybe today. Look, you can be sympathetic to this population and say we have amnesty but that doesnt mean the president of the United States has authority to impose it on his own. President obama repeatedly said i dont have the authority to make laws on my own and twice on immigration he did because he was frustrated with congress. Thats not the way the system is supposed to work. This is the president of the United States seeing its congresss role to deal with this. This should be a deal to be had. We have a dream act in exchange for an everify system to make it harder for employers to hire Illegal Immigrants going forward. Bill do you see a deal out there between both sides . I hope so. One of the things that gives me hope and optimism you see a lot of ceos come forward and say if we dont renew daca well lose a lot of our workforce. Bill what about republicans and democrats . Public pressure is very important. The public pressure is very intense. You are seeing it from the Business Community and the grassroots community. You are seeing it from democrats and republicans and what also gives me hope is that youre seeing some very conservative republicans come forward and saying you know what . I understand we need to deal with this immigration problem but i have a major issue sending 800,000 dreamers who have been in the country for a long time back. Bill way out of time. I have to run. Rich, do you see her point at all . Do you see it happening . I think it is the most sympathetic part. There has to be some amnesty in exchange for security measures that will limit the negative consequences of that amnesty including providing a magnet to draw for Illegal Immigrants. Bill come on back, guys. Julie some good news for americas economy. The u. S. Is now the Worlds Largest exporter of refined fuels. Details on how dominating this Global Market will help bring more jobs and money into our economy. Bill also congress is back at work today. Packed agenda, debt ceiling debate, obamacare repeal. Tax reform, harvey aid. Can the republicans get their agenda on track . Were about to find out. Come on back. Im living that yacht life, life, life top speed fifty knots life on the caribbean seas its a champagne and models potpourri on my yacht made of cuban mahogany, gany, gany, gany, gany watch this dont get mad bell mnemonic get e trade and get invested julie for years the u. S. Has been a huge importer of crude oil. But now thanks largely to fracking, the u. S. Is the Worlds Largest exporter of refined fossil fuels. The move is actually turning World Markets upside down and putting the u. S. In a position to control the energy sector. Were live in dickenson, north dakota this morning. A state that has played a major role in Americas Energy renaissance. Julie, years ago north dakota wasnt even on the map when it came to oil production. Now its number two behind texas. This refinery takes shale oil and turns it to deisel fuel and another one to gasoline. This is the great untold story of the last decade. The turn around in u. S. Energy markets. We used to get 70 of our oil from opec. Now 30 . 10 years ago we produced only 5 Million Barrels of oil a day. Weve doubled that to 9. 6 and sometimes next year we could overtake saudi arabia as the number two producer. Were exporting 7 Million Barrels. The revolution more stunning. We used to import 80 of our natural gas and were now the Worlds Largest producer and exporting it by pipe to mexico and canada and tanker to europe. Weve gone from being a big natural gas and oil importer to being the Worlds Largest producer of petroleum and natural gas for five years running. Opec thought they could put us u. S. Oil producers and shale producers out of business by oversupplying the market and driving down the price. Now were actually making money at 55 a barrel and they didnt think it was possible which is one reason were paying for gasoline what, 2. 50 a gallon instead of 5. President trump will be here tomorrow to talk energy and tax reform. Back to you. Julie not bad having good news to end the hour. Thank you. Bill were awaiting now a big announcement on the future of president obamas dreamers order. Jeff sessions will speak next hour. Where will the immigration fight go from there . The judge Andrew Napolitano will break it down for us and he is live in a moment. Countering north korea. The u. S. Trying to rally the world to contain the threat as pyongyang says it now has a Hydrogen Bomb and appears to be set on testing more missiles possibly as soon as this week. More on all that coming back top of the hour. Another day at the office. Why do you put up with it . Believe it or not you actually like what you do. Even love it. And today, you can do things you never could before. Youre working in millions of places at once with iot sensors. Analyzing social data on the cloud to create new designs. And using blockchain to help prevent fraud. So get back to it and do the best work of your life. Bill good morning. It is 10 00 here in new york. President trump telling congress its time to get to work. Big policy proposals on the line. The attorney general Jeff Sessions in an hour will overturn an obamaera policy on illegal immigration and we await for that to happen live here. New hour of americas newsroom. Hope you had a great labor day weekend. All that good stuff. Im bill hemmer, good morning, julie. Julie were getting warmed up. Im in for Shannon Bream today. President trump calling on congress to take action on obamas dreamers policy. It is expected he will wind down the program protecting Illegal Immigrants brought to this country when they were children. Leaving it up to congress to come up with a legislative solution. Phil keating is live in miami. Phil, whats the potential for massive deportations . That is certainly possible. However, most immigration analysts and political observers doubt it will happen unless the illegal immigrant and daca recipient commits a crime. It will immediately impact 800,000 Illegal Immigrants who have up for the past five years been allowed to stay in the country, stay in school and work a job known as the dreamers, immigrants who as Young Children were brought in illegally by their parents. As a president ial candidate President Trump vowed to very tears the order known as daca. And daca opponents like the 10 republican attorneys general who threatened to sue to kill daca by today if the president did not act applaud the move. Daca itself has to end. It is illegal and a dangerous precedent for the future because it signals that the president can ignore the limits and regulations on immigration passed by congress. New yorks attorney general doesnt agree and tweeted this yesterday. President trumps decision to end daca would be cruel and devastating to tens of thousands of new yorkers. Ill sue to protect them. People like 24yearold lewis. I mean, just right off the bat right now my heart is sunk. I dont feel any emotions. Ive been dealing with this for weeks now and the uncertainty is just killing me at this point. Congress will now reportedly have six months to figure out a legislative solution to this. Its possible the 800,000 dreamer kids and young adults could be allowed to stay in the country maybe under a guest worker type of status or even possible amnesty. Well see what congress does. Julie it will be interesting. South florida in particular has a big impact on this. Absolutely. One recent study done just at the end of last month on daca indicated 50,000 of these 800,000 Daca Recipients do live in south florida and one of the people down here who has been really vocal about urging trump not to do this is miamidade Public School superintendent who says some of his 350,000 Public School kids are dreamers. I dont see them as alien. Theyre young people with promising futures. They walk into school, they pledge allegiance to the flag like any nativeborn kid and they sing the national anthem. They eat american food. They speak the english language at some point they learn it. Who are american in every sense of the way other than through birth. That is why this is such a sensitive issue. A lot of these kids and young adults have basically been there this country almost all their lives and really dont have a memory of the country of origin from where they were born. Attorney general at the top of the hour as bill hemmer indicated will make his announcement what to do with daca and well bring that to you. Julie phil keating. Thank you so much. Bill joining me now is Andrew Napolitano. Newt gingrich said this today on fox friends. He campaigned last year on the fact that president obamas executive order was unconstitutional. His Vice President authorized his attorney general to file a lawsuit. The major legal advisors says its unconstitutional. I think the former speaker is correct. However, the other side of this page is that every president since ronald reagan, including donald trump, has followed daca for humanitarian reasons. Barack obama either out of an act of courage or foolishness reduced it to writing and that writing was challenged in the courts. And the courts said Congress Writes the law, you dont. You cant change the law that congress has written. Even though all your predecessors going back to reagan have done so. In 1986 reagan signed a federal statute which granted amnesty to everyone here. That started the clock at zero. Bill there are legal arguments and economic arguments. Right. Bill you could even argue moral arguments yes. They are these people have no place to go, they would be total aliens in the country to which they would be sent because they came here as infants. Their parents would still be here. Their siblings who were born here would still be here. Most of them are students or are in the workforce. These are not the type of people that donald trump quite properly railed against during the campaign who are causing crimes. These are for the most part 800,000 fully americanized productive human beings and the economic consequences to them, to their families and their employers would be catastrophic if they were kicked out. Bill if its true theyll kick it to congress for six months. Can congress get this done . I dont know if they can get it done politically. Legally that would be the best possible solution. If congress decides that these 800,000 can stay here if they do a, b, c and d, things like get a work visa, apply for citizenship, etc. Then the president would be enforcing a law that congress has written. He wins politically, Congress Wins politically and the 800,000 win. Bill if someone were affected by this, right . They could bring a case considered hardship, they could tie it up in the courts forever. Every one of these 800,000 who is told to leave and says its a hardship gets a hearing. Do you know how long those hearings would take . A very, very long time. It would totally overwhelm the system if the department of Homeland Security has to provide hearings for 800,000 people. It would take years and years and years. Bill what is your suggestion then six months from now . Where are we . Is it settled or not . The best of all suggestions. Congress and the president use this daca problem as an impetus for total and complete Immigration Reform and daca as part of it. If they cant do that, that requires a lot of compromise and a lot of consensus, there is already a consensus on daca. You have nancy pelosi and paul ryan on the same page saying well rewrite the statute to let them stay. Bill would he concede to that or be selling out his base who put him in office . A tough decision for him to make. Does he sign the law or veto it and risk being overridden . Bill thank you, judge. Julie a fox news alert on the top story today. South korea conducting a second round of live fire drills amid new threats from the north. Sundays test which north korea claimed was a Hydrogen Bomb was the rogue regimes sixth and Largest Nuclear test to date. United nations considering tougher sanctions. John bolton expressed some doubt on their ability to rein in kim jongun. Sanctioning the north Korea Economy is a waste of time. Its a prison camp. The leadership doesnt care what the standard of living of the people is. Weve tried it before even when it was one of the poorest countries in the world. It developed Nuclear Weapons. Julie greg palkot is live in south korea. What is happening there . Welcome to an edgy seoul, south korea. Folks are wondering what the north will do next and it might be another Missile Launch. According to reports today the north is moving another icbm to a launch site. South korea continues the live fire military exercises, it announced it will be adding to the payloads on its missiles and speeding up its antiMissile Defenses. All of this, of course, in response to the nuclear test over the weekend from the north korean regime. Married to a ballistic missile. One expert told me that could be an American City buster, dangerous stuff, julie. Julie you have been to seoul several times. How does the mood there now compared to times in the past . In fact, the mood here is, i have to say, a bit more nervous. Not just because of north koreas actions but the possible reactions. We heard today that japan is looking at ways it might have to evacuate its 60,000 citizens in south korea. Remember, along with 28,000 u. S. Troops, there are Something Like 200,000 americans here in south korea. Here is how one locallybased analyst put it to us tonight. Here in seoul we regularly hear of threats to seoul. What happens when those threats start emerging on new york and washington not much tolerance for that and understandably so. One of the major wild cards in all of this could be the Trump Administration and what President Trump decides to do about the regime in north korea. Back to you. Bill as weve been telling you our top story this hour the a. G. Jeff sessions will announce the end of the obamaera policy on immigration. Well take you there live when the attorney general begins in d. C. Plus there is this. Well make it happen. We need to stay more days well get it done. Well get the supplemental done wednesday morning and going on to appropriations and then get the budget done. After we get the budget done well start on tax reform. We have to keep this country growing. Julie Congress Returns to a heavy workload and backtoback deadlines. Tax reform, battle over the debt ceiling. Harvey aid and Immigration Reform to name a few. Will the republicans get a win on their agenda . Bill Hurricane Irma is a category 5 rolling toward florida. The Sunshine State responds to warning that it might make landfall there by this weekend. Thats next. Its important that you are prepared. It could mean the difference between life and death in some cases unfortunately. Julie fox news alert on capitol hill. Lawmakers are gearing up for a packed september agenda. Congress returning with new issues to tackle like an aid package for gulf coast communities devastated by harvey. A sixmonth deadline to handle the hundreds of thousands of immigrants from deportation and also hoping for a legislative victory on tax reform. I want to see major reform. This is something weve been working on for quite some time. Im here with chairman brady. Something we know economically we need to do. America is at a disadvantage with the rest of the world. We need to make sure we can bring the money back to america, invest in america, create more jobs. Well get that done this year. The first step is getting a budget through. Once the budget is done well move to tax reform. Julie a former Obama Campaign consultant and principle at clifton consulting. And a Washington Examiner and author of the book the selfie vote. Thank you very much ladies for talking to us this morning. Marjorie, lets start with you and congress tackling taxes. A packed september agenda for President Trump and congress with harvey aid and the dreamers battle being added into the calendar. There is already pessimism on tax reform. So will congress get it done . Well, there has been a lot of strain happening now between the president and the Republican Party over things like daca where they very much have been diverging on their opinion and difficult to tackle the issue. In the 80s when president reagan, he presented a 450 page document outlining how it would work and roll out and right now in addition to not having a budget already ready, the Trump Administration has only presented a onepage document. There hasnt been a path paved and lot a lot of harmony. Look at all the things happening in the news right now. The Harvey Relief package. Immigration, things that have deadlines that have to happen. It will be really hard. Tax reform was a big part of the republican platform coming into this election. Its important to a lot of them. It will be very tough. Julie it does go hand in hand with healthcare and lawmakers blew it. Now you have all these people paying higher premiums set to pay higher premiums. In january the midterm elections in 2018. Republicans have everything to lose here. I want to play quick sound from Chris Stirewalt about how republicans could bomb here and ill have you react. You have the football nou. You won. Youve got it. Are you going to be able to score . Are you going to be able to put something on the board . Or will you just be satisfied it wasnt the other guys. Eventually the other guys will get back in power and youll lose bigly. Julie bigly, kristin. He is right that people expect congress to do something. Putting healthcare up front, healthcare was always going to be a khaej. Reforming the tax code is a lot of republicans on the hill and white house have wanted to do. Doing something about immigration. The hill and white house want to do something. I dont think on those issues there is as much daylight between the white house and congress as marjorie may think. To the extent President Trump wants to see something done with the dreamers, wants to see Congress Takes action. Would sign a bill that would extend the program through legislative action. There may be less daylight. The real question is do democrats hold any of this up for political reasons . Its a Republican Congress were to put together something that would address the dreamer situation, and include other reforms along the lines of Border Security, etc. Do democrats stop it because its politically better for them to have it as an issue in the midterms . It will be disappointing but not out of the realm of possibility. Julie democrats have made it clear they wont go along with anything funding a wall. Thats one of the promises President Trump made on the campaign trail and up to the republicans in congress and senate to fulfill the president s agenda. Do they need to bankrupt and basically let the government shut down before that october 1st deadline in order to do so . I dont think thats i dont think the wall and democrats blocking things is really a question. I see that there is a lot more unity on where people are on policy issues like daca that are bringing republicans and democrats together. I think right now its about priorities. I think a lot of people are saying right now a border wall is probably less important than saving the many, many families in the gulf coast areas. Were looking at a multibillion package needed for Harvey Relief. Will it be more important than a border wall . Its about priorities and values and morality in our country. I think that is across the aisle. That is not partisan. Challenges that were having especially around tax reform is right now there is a bill that doesnt include middle class relief. That was a big part of the platform. When you are talking about corporate relief, timing not great. We have to think about whats happening right now. The climate as changed. Julie thats all the time we have. Thank you, ladies. Bill 20 minutes past the hour now. A frightening seen across parts of the eastern u. S. Dozens of wildfires forcing thousands from their homes. Just really scary to know whats around you will go up in flames like that. Bill how fire crews are battling this historic blaze. Julie harvey cleanup efforts are underway. While the water continues to recede and texans return to their homes, the challenges they face are still far from over. Were live from the flood zone next. The mold inside all has to go. Were keeping our fingers crossed with our Insurance Company that everybody will help us so we can rebuild our home. Well be if constant communication as i get information ill relay it to the people of miami beach whether by email, social media, television, whatever it may be. We want them to be as informed as myself and everybody in the city is in realtime. Julie miami beach mayor on another powerful storm that could reach the u. S. Irma is a category 5 hurricane. Florida is leaving nothing to chance. The governor already declaring a state of emergency and people there are already stocking up on food, water and other supplies. With harvey, everyone is kind of taken back at how bad that was. Obviously were from florida and were used to this type of situation but it is always good to be prepared. Julie Hurricane Irma is heading toward the caribbean packing winds up of up 175 miles per hour. Bill a series of massive fires burning across much of the west. Including flames in oregon, montana and california. Lets start in california. A tough week for firefighters there, jonathan. Really tough. The fire north of downtown l. A. Is one of the biggest in Los Angeles City history destroying four homes and sending hundreds of firefighters into a battle to save homes. Ultimately four were lost. Officials say after an exhausting Holiday Weekend they finally have some sort of a grip on this fire. Were standing on our acres burned currently at 7,000 acres. We anticipate that number to increase slightly in the coming days. Containment, well also stand on 30 contained, which means we have 70 of the line not contained. Further north on the edge of the Sierra National forest firefighters are struggling to get the upper hand on the mission fire northeast of fresno. 200 homes and buildings are threatened. Residents are being evacuated. We keep the grab bags ready. Thats something they tell you to do up here. We always have grab bags. Around 650 acres have burned there so far and firefighters have zero containment on that fire. Bill outside of california whats the biggest concern, jonathan . Fires burning throughout the west. One of the worst, bill, up in oregon, the eagle creek fire has grown to 3,000 acres with zero containment. It is burning in the Columbia River gorge, a popular tourist spot. 150 hikers were stranded by the fire and residents of at least 130 homes have been told to evacuate. Its like nothing ive ever really ever seen. I knew there were fires going on but not as bad as it is right now. I didnt realize the whole town would be shut down. Fire season is ramping up in montana where the sprig fire is proving to be a tough one. Winds causing particular problems for fire crews. Theyve blown huge plumes of smoke across the area preventing firefighting aircraft from taking off. The good news with all these fires is that temperatures are coming down after this week after a heat wave. This is likely to be the start of a long and difficult fire season out here in the west. Bill lets hope youre wrong. Jonathan hunt live in los angeles. Thanks. Julie crews busy in texas where Flood Recovery is underway. I had four feet all the way around. The wood was starting to get mold and rust. Julie as a floodwaters recede major issues continue to arrive in houston. Were live on the ground. Texas attorney general kevin paxton joins us later in hour as well. Bill the trump team weighing its best options to resolve the standoff with north korea. Reports claim that rogue regime is getting ready to launch more missiles perhaps as soon as this thursday. Are tougher sanctions the answer . A former president george w. Bush policy advisor on that joins us next. His abusive use of missiles and his Nuclear Threats show that he is begging for war. With an ingredient originally discovered. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve shortterm memory. Prevagen. The name to remember. Bill 10 32. Washington, d. C. , a live look in the room where Jeff Sessions will be there in minutes to announce the decision on daca that was signed by way of executive order five years ago by president obama. There are protests gathering in washington, d. C. Well see what comes of them and see what their message is and well find out what the announcement is. Based on all the reporting we expect this to be referred to congress. To be considered as new legislation over a period of six months. Were waiting for the attorney general and get your reaction on all that. It will be the story of the day. 10 32 in new york. Julie fox news alert following Hurricane Irma. She is continuing to strengthen as cleanup efforts are underway in texas cities hit by harvey. And officials are now blaming that storm for at least 60 deaths. Were live in the western part of houston with some of the ongoing issues there. Griff, officials are asking residents to shower less . Thats right, julie. There is still some flooded areas in houston, the west cars are still submerged and crews working five to six feet maybe more of water. Two water plants in this area have flooded as of 7 00 last night had upwards of eight feet and asked people to shower less, to do less laundry and to flush their toilets less to avoid backing up sewers and people in this area where mandatory evacuated yesterday and havent been able to get in and get their things. We talked to one of those residents, amy. Here is what she had to say. All i wanted to do is put things in plastic bins to last for a month to let the swampy water sit for a month in my house and it will contaminate everything upstairs, too. Im incensed they arent letting us in to take care of our homes when we had no warning. The mayor says roughly 95 are dry and people are digging out. Julie what does the future hold for houston in the coming weeks and months . In the coming weeks and months they will be assessing the damage, the governor saying its upwards of 180 million. Many will have to be demolished. Well spend time with Harris County flood officials and what the threat is when they have the first threat today of thunderstorms about 40 , julie. Julie griff jenkins, thank you very much. Bill there are new reports that north korea may be getting ready to test launch another long range missile. U. N. Ambassador nikki haley calling for tougher sanctions. Just last hour here on our program former ambassador john bolton said more sanctions, he argued, would not work. Making it clear that they dont see any point in negotiating with north korea is an important step and in fact there is only one country worth negotiating here with all due respect to Vladimir Putin, it is not russia, its china. Bill the director of programs for actton institute. President george w. Bush policy advisor and state department official. Welcome back to americas newsroom. What do you think of that comment on china . I think he is exactly right. The United Nations is not an effective world body. It can only criticize israel and thats about it. I respect nikki haley very much. I think its important for her to be there and saying what she is saying to show the United States is interested in encouraging and shaming other countries for not standing for the right thing. At the end of the day this is the difference in the interests of china versus the United States and the Trump Administrations job to make sure china knows it will not be in its interest if it opposes us on this. This is a lastditch effort. Bill nikki haley said this yesterday. Members of this council will no doubt urge negotiations and a return to talks. But as ive just outlined, we have engaged in numerous direct and multilateral talks with the north korean regime and time after time they have not worked. The time for half measures in the Security Council is over. Bill on that point, sir, can she move opinion there or not . I think that she can show the chinese how serious we are because she is calling for more sanctions from the United Nations and no more talk. I dont think it will be very effective but taking all the right steps leading up to the next steps that are nonmilitary, to threat en chinas banks and threaten any other nation that trades with north korea if they want to trade with us. Because we really are at a crux here. Either were going to have china operate in our interest and help us here or were going to have a military solution and it will be things like japan and south Korea Going Nuclear and us being on a war footing permanently with that nation. Bill i ask you a broader question. General james mattis two days ago talks tough all the time. Watch. Any threat to the states or its territories, including guam or our allies, will be met with a massive military response. We are not looking to the total an aisleation, north korea. Whether its general mattis, Rex Tillerson or trump. How do you think the administration is handling this so far . I think so far well in this sense. The most Important Message is the one of a war footing. General mattis, nikki haley, some of the president s tweets and comments. Privately what i assume is happening and i believe is happening is secretary tillerson and others are talking not only with the chinese and others and letting them know this administration is different. There is no option to go back to what obama, bush and clinton did. It is either the nation that can help us most, china, helps us change the direction of north koreas behavior or the worst thing china can imagine is going to happen, that is there will be a Nuclear Japan and a Nuclear South korea and the United States will help them in that and we will be as general mattis said, prepared to obliterate any hostile threat to us. Bill last question. Do you expect another test this week or not . Yeah, i think so. I dont think that kim jongun has gotten the message from china. China hasnt fully absorbed the message from the Trump Administration and the window is closing. It is important this message be delivered and the president probably needs to take some steps that scare the chinese like withdrawing nonmilitary personnel from south korea, arming them better. Making it clear he means to follow through. Bill all steps that we shall watch. Sir, thank you for coming back. Paul bonicelli live with us today. Julie moments from now a major announcement on illegal immigration set to get underway at the justice department. The podium is set up waiting for attorney general Jeff Sessions expected to overturn an obamaera dreamers policy and making that announcement shortly. Jen paxton is one of the people calling for this move and he joins us next with his reaction. Bill in a moment frightening scene for hundreds on board this plane when the jetliners engine catches fire in flight. Show you how this wound up in a moment. It starts a chain reaction. Thats heard throughout the connected business world. At t Network Security helps protect business, from the largest Financial Markets to the smallest transactions, by sensing cyberattacks in near real time and automatically deploying countermeasures. Keeping the world of business connected and protected. Thats the power of and. When you really want to save just go to priceline. They add thousands of new deals every day up to 60 off. Thats how kaley and i got to share this trip together at this amazing hotel. Go to priceline and get the hotel deals you wont find anywhere else. Bill a racetrack in texas turning offer the engines and using its massive plot to store cars damaged by harvey. Were fortunate enough to have this real estate available literally in the heart of the devastations where Insurance Companies can come out and get people back on their feet. Bill the royal purple raceway will end up housing 100,000 vehicles before its all said and done. Look at that. And the raceway has canceled all the races so it can continue helping with the relief efforts after harvey. Julie a major announcement on immigration set to get underway minutes from now as we watch the cameras there where well be seeing attorney general Jeff Sessions coming out to lay out President Trumps plan for dealing with Illegal Immigrants who came to this country as children. He is expected to reverse the obamaera policy while giving congress six months to deal with the issue. Our next guest has been threatening to sue if the program wasnt ended by today. Texas attorney general ken paxton. Thank you for talking to us. This is a Pivotal Moment now. Jeff sessions is expected to announce the end of the daca program one you said you would sue about if it didnt happen. Your reaction. Were optimistic that something is going to happen that we can be happy with. We will we have threatened with other states to sue if this was not rescinded and weve always believed that president obama was operating outside of his Constitutional Authority when he made up the new laws and were asking if this is going to be done, it be done the right way by congress. Julie what rescinding daca means is the 800,000 dreamers who are undocumented youth brought to this country as children will now be considered illegal and for many of these dreamers america is the only country theyve known. Were not talking about mass deportation. There is talk that congress could grant amnesty or make them part of a guest worker program. What do you think should happen to these 800,000 . Were not asking that anything be done with the current ones that are under the daca going forward. Its a goforward basis. Its really up to congress to decide what the best policy is for these kids that are already here. It is not something that should be done unilaterally. The whole point the founding of this country we didnt want one person making the laws. Its on congress to make the decision. Julie paul ryan says president obama did not have the legislative authority to do what he did. You cant as an executive write law out of thin air. Orrin hatch wanted congress to take the lead. Ive urged the president not to rescind daca. I long advocated for tougher enforcement of our existing immigration laws but we also need a workable permanent solution for individuals who entered our country unlawfully as children through no fault of their own and who built their lives here and that solution must come from congress. What is your suggestion for congress six months from now . Look, its not my job to make policy for congress. My job is to defend the constitution and enforce the law. Its what foreign generals do. Were not a legislative body. We enforce the constitution. We cant let this stay in place. Once we start making exceptions the separation of powers and to the constitution, then the slippery slope has begun and we end up with an unconstitutional action by the president. We start having a slippery slope that pushes us down that line in a way i dont think we want to go. Julie Immigration Reform was one of the toughest promises President Trump made on his agenda and immigration control obviously goes hand in hand with preventing people from smuggling not only themselves but their children into this country. You say this doesnt affect the 800,000 currently here. They arent necessarily going to be deported but what does this send . What message does this send for future generations to come . I think what it says is look, were serious about Border Security and addressing the immigration issue and were going to take this seriously. This is the first president i know in recent history that has started to take it seriously. It has an impact on texas. We have high crime rates. We have documented from murders to all kinds of trafficking issues. Those are issues this state cares about and this president finally is addressing those issues and were grateful for it. Julie i want to switch gears to Hurricane Harvey relief. The governor there says that Harvey Recovery could cost 180 billion. This as congress is set to vote on a 7. 85 billion dollar emergency bill. The largest in american his history. Is this enough to help texans recover . Its a good start. I dont think anybody knows what the final number is. We appreciate the federal government stepping in. Theyve been here early and still with us and helping us. I think Governor Abbott has done an amazing job. The coordination between federal, state and local is remarkable given the size and length of this storm. Were appreciative and probably in the end there will be more relief needed but at least were off to a good start. Julie Texas Attorney general ken paxton. Thank you for your time this morning. Bill jon scott is up next. How are you doing . Good morning. Good morning, major changes to immigration policy coming any minute now. Were awaiting a briefing from the attorney general. Jeff sessions, on the socalled dreamers. Former president obama allowed children of Illegal Immigrants in the u. S. To stay. President trump has promised to end that program. There may be a catch. Well have sessions live plus a very busy to do list for congress and President Trump amping up the pressure on the group. The category 5 hurricane with florida in its path possibly. Bill a deadline approaching now for Health Insurers and uncertainty over the future of obamacare could cost americans plenty. A live report on what you need to know about that just ahead.

Come on thats why you drink ensure. With 9 grams of protein, and 26 vitamins and minerals. For the strength and energy, to get back to doing what you love. Ensure, always be you. Julie a live look at the podium there moments from now. In fact, about eight minutes away from attorney general Jeff Sessions. He will be holding a briefing to address the deferred action for childhood arrivals or daca program, which was instilled by president obama. Rescinding that program. Well have more on that. Stay tuned. Bill big announcement a few minutes away. The deadline for health Insurance Companies to file next years rate proposals is today. Some insurers say prices could be 20 higher next year. Were live in d. C. With more. September promises to be a crucial month for the fate of obamacare and it all begins today. The deadline for Insurance Companies to set their rates on the exchanges for next year. Some insurers say prices could jump and middle class obamacare users are likely to be the hardest hit. In an effort to limit the damage. The Senate Committee begins a series of hearings tomorrow with state Insurance Commissioners how to stabilize premiums in the individual markets to protect 18 million americans from huge rate hikes. There is another looming deadline. Chairman of the Senate Health Committee Said unless conscious acts by september 27th when Insurance Companies must sign contracts with the federal government to sell insurance on the federal exchanges. 9 million americans who receive no government help purchasing Health Insurance and premature use skyrocketed may see premiums go up more. President trump is encourageing congress to take up a repeal bill. With both houses the senate can no longer act to kill the bill with only 50 votes through budget reconciliation and priorities have changed after Hurricane Harvey. Emergency relief bill, the budget, debt ceiling, tax reform and north korea close behind with congress in session only 12 days this month. It all means that the individuals on the Obamacare Exchanges will get no government help. Could take a bigger financial hit next year. Well be waiting. Bill wow, we will. Thank you, doug, in washington on that. Julie as we have been telling you were waiting a big announcement. President trump expected to overturn a policy of daca. The big announcement from attorney Jeff Sessions moments away. Well carry it for you live. Im only in my 60s. Ive got a nice long life ahead. Big plans.

That was upgraded this morning and those most worn path are still uncertain at this time. This is a monster storm, florida leaving nothing to chance.
