In the middle of a tragic loss. Look at these people in a shelter. The president was in missouri, as you know, and this is what he said today. I have seen the resilience of the american spirit firsthand all over this country. To the people of houston and across texas and louisiana, were here with you today. Were with you tomorrow and we will be with you every single day after to restore, recover and rebuild. Martha some of the most red stories online today are still about the first ladys shoes. Or what a desire to see the right photo open hug and sensible shoes trumps, shall we say, their concern for the actual story of how effective the response is or is not for the people of texas. I dont think he understands human scale of misery. I dont think he can connect with the compassion that you normally have when you see a disaster like this. Very little in terms of empathy of this president or talking to the people of texas. Today President Trump visited texas but he forgot empathy with him. But he did bring a hat. When he greeted the crowd, it was felt perhaps more like a rally. I did not hear him speak about the victims of this flood. Is there something missing here . Martha theres this picture sprawled across a piece of wood from a texan summing up what we just heard, that they blame trump this man wrote. And then this cartoon from politco that goes so far to mock texans. They sent a statement when they heard we would be looking at this cartoon and hearing from karl rove about his thoughts. Thats coming up as well. First, carl bigby. Hes here from national and Community Service on agencies providing support throughout texas and louisiana. I have to ask you first of all, what goes through your mind given what you are shoe focused on when you see these responses against the improper amount of empathy and theyre not sure if the hug was right or if the shoes were right . Its amazing. It shoes the medias true colors here. President trump authorized unprecedented funding and resources out the gate. You think he doesnt have empathy for this . President trump sent 63,000 families immediate aid through fema. Right now we have 100 plus military aircraft down there, 1,000 americorps members. What else do you want . People down here including americorps, the National Guard. Were there to save lives and get people out of their flooded hopes. President trump is holy invested in this operation and its disgusting to see media politicizing this because they dont like the president. So in the end, its going to be judged based on or should be based on how efficient all the programs that you just talked about turn out to be. Whether or not the government and the capacity that is capable and this is an enormous task being undertaken here. Its not going to be perfect. How well you do the job in the end. How confident are you the systems in place are not going to produce theyll produce good stories coming out of this day after day after day as the president said theyll be there for . This is my second week on the job. So it was a nice warm welcome. The team at americorps that i have is phenomenal. We have been in and out of this. Talk about people from all walks of life in this organization. Nobody has mentioned that. The focus is on the mission. Fema has done a phenomenal job. The president gave Carte Blanche to state and local officials with Governor Abbott saying what do we need, what can we provide. He made it happen like this. This unprecedented. Katrina, sandy. The president has authorized things at an unprecedented rate. I hope the media realizes that. Martha you served your country. What to you think when theres this measure put out there in terms of what empathy looks like and how everyone understands it and what we expect from president s . We all remember bill clinton would bite his lower lip and i feel your pain. George w. Bush was often brought to tears. Thats the man that he is. Hes an outwardly emotional person. You know President Trump. Maybe he isnt wired for that sort of emotion but he likes to get stuff done. He absolutely does like to get stuff done. Thats what he ran on and what hes doing right now. President trump instead of sitting down and feeling sorry for himself or feeling anything like that, hes turned that energy to productivity. He goes down there and holds up a microphone and the texas flag and projects strength. A lot of people find solitude in that. These people have literally lost everything. When you see the president of the United States come down to where you are, wave a texas flag and say we got your back, it means a lot to the american people. Americorps, fema, were down there doing this work and were going to be there for five years. Martha im sure they thank you for that. Carl, good luck with the work ahead of you. Thank you for being here. Thank you. Martha so Hurricane Harvey hammering eastern texas now. The city of beaumont is now a watery wasteland. Flash floods are ravaging the area as we people. People came to this shelter to get dry and they had to be moved again because they were flooded out. Steve harrigan joins us live from koonce, texas where the situation is just as dire. Good evening to you. Martha, a steady rain here. Weve been watching volunteers pulling people out of subdivisions all day. For the people that want to stay in their house, people are also ferrying out supplies to them. Kelly, tell me what youve been bringing people today. Today i brought supplies to people in dallas. They had canned food, bread, medicine. They were trying to get it to their families. You cant reach your family but youre here helping other people . Yes. I have family in the orange area. We cant help them down 69 or 96 because the road is blocked off because of the floodening. Martha, the roads have isolate saad many people. They cant get to their family to help, but theyre helping who they can here. When you get 49 inches of rain here in the past five days, it completely isolated certain towns. This town, sour lake, 16 miles down the road, 10,000 people, no one has reached it yet. We saw boats set out there to find a way there. This water actually gets to be about seven, eight feet deep when you go a few more feet out. Right now, its volunteers saving people. Back to you. Martha thanks to them as well and for talking to you tonight. Flying over texas today with the Air National Guard as they conduct rescues. Trace gallagher has more. Hi, trace. Hi, martha. Were above the neighborhoods in houston. You can see how much the water has receded in houston. Its amazing how its going down. We have flown from here to beaumont, to port arthur. Its just devastating. The water goes all the way. Were talking about 60, 70 miles. And now you get back to houston. The devastation and the water rise that we saw just yesterday has done down dramatically. There was a golf course over there. It was covered in water yesterday. We had weve been in the helicopter the past 3 1 2 hours and we saw an amazing rescue of a family. Watch this. Theyre leaning over the edge over there. Im not sure how close we can get. We dont want to get in their way because theyre busy. They dropped the basket down. Theyre clearly looking for somebody. And then as soon as that person gets in, they will hoist the person up. As a rule, the people taken up in the basket are fairly immobile. Here we go. This is the first rescue victim. This is a child. And her mom. Right . Over and over again, can you imagine . Being a child like this, breaks your heart. You know . 9 or 10 years old. She should be in school today. School started monday. She should be in school today. Instead, shes hoisted up in a blackhawk helicopter basket with her mom because their lives were clearly at risk. Gives you an idea what were dealing with here. Shes crying. Her mom is crying. I know our signal is in and out here. I know were going to talk back to you. But i wanted to show you this before we finished up. We make our way back over houston. Wow, i mean, the water has gone down here. Its rising in beaumont. The encore that this storm provided today was absolutely stunning to so many people. Amazing. Trace, you have given us a front row scene for the rescue that happened. It breaks your heart. Look at the faces of the mom and her child. Imagine how terrified they must have been, being lifted up through the air into a helicopter. But thank goodness for the steady hand of the people organizing the rescue. Its incredible. Trace was in and out there. We want to stick with him. Hes giving us great coverage. The next guest is on the front lines of Hurricane Harvey as well. Fort bend county sheriff troy nails has been in the water for five days conducting rescues, nonstop evacuations southwest of houston. Hes contributed to the more than 5,000 rescues, 1,000 a day, since this started in that area so far. Joining me now by phone the man you see here, sheriff nails. Good to have you here tonight, sheriff. Good evening. Martha how are you holding up . Were doing fine. You know, everything the last several days, of course, very hectic, very stressful for anyone that would call Fort Bend County home. Today was the report of our First Casualty as a result of the flooding. We had two individuals, a husband and wife, drown today. They drove their vehicle through high water and the high water swept their vehicle into the ditch line and then overturned. Of course, they died. Just a sad story. Martha awful. Seems that so often thats the case when people try to get into their car and go somewhere. What are you telling people that you havent been able to reach yet . We just talked to steve harrigan. Hes talking about a mile 16 miles down the road that nobody has gotten to yet. What do you want them to know tonight . Several thousand people, thousands upon thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes. The volunteers down here bringing in boats, air boats from around the state, actually from around the country, has just been a remarkable effort on behalf of everyone around this country to get people out of their homes, to safety. And then what did we see yesterday . Something wonderful. We saw some sunlight. And the sun was shining yesterday. And today. So theres people feeling that. Its over. The worst is not yet to come. The brazos river continues martha thank you. I hear what youre saying about the rising brazos river. Thanks for all youre doing. The country is astounded by your bravery. We want to go to the mayor, this is getting underway. Mayor turner houston with a live News Conference. Theres a number of people that have already stepped up and i cannot be so pleased for the fact that our Corporate Leaders are really stepping up in a major, major way. Not only in terms of their financial contributions but in terms of supplies and clothes, baby formula, you name it that many of the people in our shelters need. Many of those things, all of those things that i talked about have been provided by walmart. I cannot thank walmart enough for their generous contribution to people in their moments of need. Theyre one of several corporations. Dan barkley is here today as executive Vice President of Corporate Affairs at walmart along with several people who are with him, flew in this afternoon to look at take a look at what is happening at george r. Brown, the shelter. They already provided a number of items that people needed. And to add to what they have already given, dan also came on behalf of walmart to make a contribution to the relief fund of 2 million. So i really want to thank them for their generous contribution to the relief fund. Its certainly is going to be needed as we move forward. Thats just one part of their give. The remaining portion is contributing another 18 million, a 9 million match where people go and purchase and up to 9 million they will match it by another nine. So the total gift theyre giving to the texas gulf coast region, people factored in 20 million. Two of the 20 million for specifically targeted for houston and harris county. Im appreciative of their generosity. Also demonstrates the spirit that we have of corporations in the private sector in our community. Dan, thank you on behalf of the city of houston. [applause]. Thank you, mayor a real privilege for us to stand here shoulder to shoulder with the people of texas. We are texans ourselves. Weve been in these communities for many, many years and we hurt when our fellow texans hurt. As the mayor said, weve been here with supplies, associated. Over 11,000 of our own associates that have been impacted by the storms. Theyre working hard to get the stores back open so they can serve the customers and make sure they have the goods they need. Our Truck Drivers have braved the bad weather. They made over 1,000 truckloads of supplies. A lot of that is water and other staple stocks that is needed particularly at the shelters. Todays announcement to say were going to step up even more. 20 million commitment as the mayor said, 2 million going here and also in a way in which our own customers as they want to support efforts, well match every dollar with a double of that match up to 10 million. Many of those dollars will go to these sheltering operations to make sure not only that they have the personal hygiene goods and other things like water, but if theres things that we can do for families with kids, make sure they have board games, video games to bring some sort of normalcy to a period of hectic drama and strife is just a little bit more that we can do as a company to say were here to help. So we understand that the days and hours and weeks and months to come will be difficult. This is going to be a long process and were here to say that walmart will be there every step of the way. Thank you. Thank you, dan. Thank you for the corporation, walmart, the contributions. Walmart will join Companies Like Waste Management that have given a pledge to give 1. 5 million with the same relief fund, nrg making a contribution as well and a number of others. Government sectors cant do it alone. We need the support of the private sector and we have some very generous companies. Thats when anybody says woe is houston. Dont feel sorry for us. The sun came out yesterday. Martha were going to keep a close eye on that. A lot of companies are generous and doing that kind of work for these areas. Thats a good thing. Keep a close eye on that. Last night they told us about the curfews. Theyre still in effect and keeping guard around the convention center. As the days go on, tensions rise. Thats a big concern. Well keep an eye on the News Conference and if anything more comes out of that. News tonight that President Trump is ready to ask congress for cash for harvey relief. Keep in mind, we have new fox polls tonight. Fox has a congress has a 15 approval rating. Ours are higher than that. According to the new poll. So theyre not doing so well. In 2012 when super storm sandy hit the northeast, some members of the texas delegation voted against the federal relief bill. Earlier, new Jersey Governor Chris Christie reminded folks of that and urged representatives to put that divisiveness behind them. He didnt let his fellow republicans that went against his relief bill off the hook. Watch. They were playing politics with it. They were getting ready to do what they wanted to do for 2016 and make themselves like the most conservative person. Im urging members of congress of new jersey, dont hold a grudge. Kevin bring did is from the house and ways committee. He represents folks in houston. Our hearts go out to your district and all of the people that you know that are affected by all of this. We want to thank you for taking the time to be here tonight. We know you have a lot on your plate. In terms of the relief effort that will come from congress, what do you make of the criticism of what happened the last round . Yeah, lets start about the immediate needs. We have two big challenges right now, this is an extra innings disaster. So in southeast texas, this is an area that just got hammered with hurricane ike and rita. They have never seen even in those the flooding that they have today. So were still seeing evacuations, the flash flooding, the rescues over there. In our communities, we were plucking people from rooftops yesterday. Today the water is receding. Our focus is helping people in shelters, how to assessor that damage and what to do to take care of them. Our focus continues to be on that. Martha no doubt. When you do return to washington or when this bill comes up, i would imagine that youre going to be a strong passionate voice for wanting that money to go to texas. I just have to ask you, last time we talked about sandy there were a number of conservatives, yourself included felt there should be an offset in the budget for that money. Is that something that you want the pursue . Yeah, look, lets review that. I voted for sandy funding. I didnt for the sandy plus poor funding. I want to make this point about governor christie. If he has a beef with this, fine. Theres a time and place for this. I noticed while he was on the airwaves trying to extort some petty political payback, what i noticed at the very same moments we had Law Enforcement officer trapped and dying in his car, a family van with six kids and family members swept to their death and an 89yearold gran mother that we lost forever. While Emergency Responder were working day and night to save people, in my view, theres a time and place for that debate that governor christie wants. This isnt it. When Hurricane Sandy was hitting new jersey and our east coast, we were pulling for and praying for them. So i think theres a time and a place for all of this debate. But i frankly think that governor christie owes an apology to Emergency Responders out there busting their tail and volunteers doing the same to save peoples lives while he was on the airwaves trying to score cheap political points. Martha very strong point. Welltaken. Congressman brady, as you say, theres subjects for another day. I know youre passionate about tax reform and the president spoke about it. Hope you come back when youre focused and have the luxury of turning to other things. Obviously you have a strong focus right now. This was a good day, too. I appreciate the president s support for the hurricane and tax reform. Appreciate his leadership. Martha thanks, mr. Brady. Look forward to talking to you soon. You bet. Martha tonight flash floods trap dozens of nursing home residents. And then we have this story for you this evening. A political cartoonist thinks theres some irony to all of this. But many are deeply offended at the cartoon that they see as mocking texans. Texan karl rove responds. I waded through the water and somebody gave me a ride on the boat. I breaks my heart.

People will start getting back in their homes and see where the water level has gone. Thats the story of the days and weeks to come as we take a look at what has been a very difficult week for houston, for texas and now moving to louisiana as well. Also tonight, a controversial cartoon in politico. Critics say this is an image that mocks texans stereotyping them. The coast guard says coast guard send by the government. Sending help in time of need is one of the points of the cartoon. The cartoonist is defending his work in a statement tonight. Heres what he said. Martha joining me now with the whole texas story, karl rove. A Fox News Contributor and a proud texan himself. Good evening. Good evening. Martha the first thing to ask you, how you and the people that you know and love are holding up in your home state, a place that you hold dear to your heart . Look, we lived on the far edge of the storm. We lost part of our chimney and a bunch of trees. We had no damage compared to what is inflicted on texans along the gulf coast, a former colleague of mine and their family are in a shelter. A friend of ours stayed with us monday night. Their ranch was in the eye of the storm. When it came ashore at rock port, it ended up about three miles away from their house. The roof of their house has been ripped off. Well be hearing stories for weeks to come about people desperate straits that are overcoming the one of the worst natural disasters in our countrys history with grit and determination. Martha and you were in the white house during katrina. The president has been there. What do you think of his response so far . Its been great. We need to put it in context though. Under federal law, the president is not in charge of emergency disaster relief. Thats the job of the governor of each individual state. What President Trump has done, hes told his agencies to be incredibly responsive to anything that greg abbott needs, wants and is reasonable. So we ought to i know the president draw as lot of the attention. There should be attention paid to the people that get the job done, the governors of the state. When you have governors like jeb bush of florida and bob riley of alabama that knew what they were doing, things got done. But if you have a governor under our later, the person in charge is the person in charge. Abbott has his act together. Hes over my shoulder you can see the state capitol. Not far from there is the state operations center. Hes there all day long. Hes purpose is to coordinate state and federal resources to attack this problem. Hes doing in my opinion a terrific job. He deserves a lot of kudos. Hes done an incredible job so far. Martha so this cartoon, the cartoonist that did this, what does it say to you . It says that this guy is a moronic liberal. Hes confuse ago belief in limited government with no government. Texans pay more taxes than any other state except one. We enlist in the military more than the national average. The third highest number of people in the military in our state alone. We are 40 smaller than the population of california and yet we have 800 fewer National Guardsmen because texans are so patriotic and they serve. We are a dynamic and growing economy. The idea that were representing that someone that wants to succeed is idiotic. Yeah, we believe in limited government. But to believe that were secessionists secessionists is idiotic. We get together and solve problems in texas. Yeah, were limited. We met 140 days and get the job done. Martha wellput. Thanks, karl rove. Well you wish and your friends in texas. Were thinking about you. Thank you so much. You bet. Thank you. Martha coming up here tonight, dramatic new video to fox that shows a family being pulled to safety by a rescue helicopter. One of so many stories that we watched today and the faces on the individuals really tell you all you need to know about what is happening right now in texas. Well take you there to the live operations ongoing throughout the hour on the story. The president making a major push for tax reform and asking congress not to disappoint him again in his words. Ed henry is live at the white house and he will join us in a moment. Today im calling on all members of congress, democrats, republicans and independents, to support pro american tax reform. Needles. Essential for him, but maybe not for people with rheumatoid arthritis. Because there are options. Like an unjection™. Xeljanz xr.

Martha one day after touring the devastation from Hurricane Harvey, President Trump was in springfield, missouri today to push major tax reform. The president called on congress this time to get the job done. Watch. This is our once in a Generation Opportunity to deliver real tax reform for everyday, hardworking americans. Im committed to working with congress to get this job done and i dont want to be disappointed by congress. You understand me. Martha chief National Correspondent ed henry live with more on the president s plan tonight. Good to see you. Yeah, this is President Trump taking on the swamp that he slammed in the campaign. The entrenched interests in washington that dont want to change a complicated tax code full of loop holes that benefit them at the expense of the mid class. This is why we have not had major tax reform since 1986. So the president today went to the heartland as you noted, said he wants to set a goal of cutting the Corporate Tax rate as low as 15 from the current 35 and brought back the rhetoric that fueled his rise to power saying he wants middle class tax cuts to help workers rather than the rich. An coulter and Chuck Schumer attacked the president s approach with about the same script from the right and the left claiming this will help wall street, not main street. Coulter told the president that he should focus on illegal immigration and save taxes as a second term issue saying oh, stop pretending this is about letting families keep more of their money. Half of americans dont pay taxes, this is for wall street. Chuck schumer said if the president wants to use populism to sell his tax plan, he ought to consider actually putting his money where his mouth is and putting forward a plan that puts the middle class, not the top 1 first. Thats a claim the president rejected, putting the onus on schumer and other leaders in congress to get the job done unlike on healthcare. I think congress is going to make a comeback. I hope so. I tell you what, the United States is counting on it. [applause] now the president faced heat for being light on details. Administration officials here find that rich because after the failure of healthcare, what we heard from leaders in both parties is president the shouldnt have tried to jam healthcare down their throats. He should have had regular order, go through the Committee Progress and let congress own it and build momentum. Now the white house is say do that on taxes and theyre complaining theres not enough details. Martha here with more, charlie hurt from the washington tiles and a fox new contributor. Good to see you tonight. You saw what ann coulter and Chuck Schumer say. What do you think about it . Its interesting. Theyre not entirely wrong about it. Obviously a lot of people because of tax credits wind up not paying taxes. The bottom line is, the idea that the United States has a 35 Corporate Tax rate and the literally trillions and trillions of dollars in profits that get parkeded overseas because of these onerous tax rates in this country, that hurts average Everyday Americans obviously help Corporate America and wall street to fix it but help a lot of regular americans. Helps them get good jobs and i would argue that anything that puts money instead of going to the federal government actually into the economy is good for everybody. Martha you heard the president s comments there, that hes concerned that hes going to get the same thing he got on healthcare. And why shouldnt he be . Martha absolutely. When you look at this and you sort of look into what is already being said on the hill, theres a fear, i think, on some parts of people that want to see real reform, wholesale reform of the tax code that theyll get some watereddown version that this is a temporary fix to dashes for this year and then next year were really going to get something done. Is that what were going to get again, charlie . Im as nervous as anybody is about that possibility. This is a very important moment for republicans in congress, this is a moment where they can prove that they either can work with this president , who by the way did run as a republican, won in the republican primary and is a republican. Martha this is a completely conservative idea. Absolutely. So republicans in congress can figure out how to work with this president and get what they want through or this guy doesnt care. He will turn around, if they fail to do it, he will turned around and make a deal with democrats. He will make it tomorrow. If republicans in congress think that the deal that donald trump would make with democrats is going to be better than the deal that he would make with them, theyre insane. For i would argue for average americans the deal with republicans will be better, cut taxes. Natural disaster like this that were seeing here so tragic, its a perfect example that the federal government isnt the answer to all of our problems. What is working down there are the people volunteering and helping. Not the government. Martha Austin Goulsby is here with us. You heard what the president had to say today and the plan he lays out. He would love to see a 15 Corporate Tax rate. He feels that would fuel growth. We have a great gdp number that came out today. What do you think about the tax plan . Well, you know, the tax plan didnt have a lot of details again. Its the fourth time the president has come out with a plan in which he calls for lets call it vaguely Something Like 5 to 6 trillion of tax cuts but doesnt explain how he intends to pay for them. So i think were back in this Holding Pattern where hes put the ball in congresss court, Mitch Mcconnell made clear hes going to try to do this with only republican votes, and were going to have to see whether theyre going to actually blow a 6 trillion hole in the deficit or try to close deductions or what the president called loop holes or something to come up with the 5 trillion to pay for it. Martha the loop holes are what this is about, charlie. Reducing the number of loop holes and that will cause pain for corporations as well. They want the 15 tax credit. They want the 15 tax rate and willing to give some in terms of giving up the loop holes and the tax code. Theres so many people invested in this 2,800 tax code in washington, they are afraid theyll be out of a job. The thing that is so enraging about this, the only people that benefit under the system are people that can afford an army of lawyers and accountants and lobbyists and they get the loop holes. Its absolutely disgusting. I have to say to austin, so delighted to hear you concerned about spending and how were going to pay for it. Martha thank you guys. Austan and charlie, a pleasure. Still ahead tonight, is defense secretary general mattis contradicting the president on transgenders in the military and north korea . Maybe. But maybe not. How the take on this may actually be wrong. Plus, another update from where the storm is now headed. Were on the ground tonight now in louisiana.

A number of homes in bad shape but the people here know that its much better here than it is across the state line in texas. Behind me is highway i10, the major arteries between louisiana and tax. A lot of members of the cajun navy pulling boats along this highway. The stat troopers have been diverting some of them off the road. We saw them allow one go through. Earlier today, 40 officers with the fish and Wildlife Agency bring in their boats into texas for rescues. Here you can see the National Guard, the louisiana National Guard set up a command post where theyre coordinating the rescues. Theyre helping out with helicopters and high water rescue vehicles. This gas station and motel is under water. The neighborhood behind it in bad shape. The folks here are resilient and happy to do what they can to help their neighbors in the state of texas. Martha . Martha rick, thanks so much. Rick leventhal in vinton, louisiana. President trump facing public push back from a top member of his team. James mattis ording the pentagon the allow transgender troops to serve in the military during a period of review. Disagreeing with his commanderinchief to some extent over north korea. The president tweeting the u. S. Has been talking to north korea and paying them extortion money for 25 years. Talking is not the answer, said the president. Secretary mattis said something sort of different. Were never out of diplomatic solutions. We continue to Work Together and the minister and i share a responsibility to provide for the protection of our nations, our populations and interests. Already very strong collaborations. Always look for more. Were never complacent. Martha very interesting, right . Chris is fox News Politics editor. He joins us with his take. Is this a Nixon Kissinger routine or are they really disagree something. Look at you with the wayback machine. Martha thats what i have behind me. Its not. Im kidding. So i think this. For a long time, the president needed a sounder team around him. More competent, more capable to get his agenda passed. You cant have havoc swirling around you as president of the United States. So he now has john kelly, another retired general in as his chief of staff. Order has come. Things are moving in a direction of efficiency, competency, et cetera. Another thing that is happening a group inside the administration who is working hard to, if not counterman what the president does, but to pen him in, to restrain him. We know what donald trump thinks about people trying to restrain him. Martha in terms of reference i made nikki haley had strong comments on north korea saying something has to happen. If the president says the time for talk is over and some of his more diplomatic forces say look, we can still come to the table, least him room but the president is willing to take other measures, right . The wild man. Yes. The idea here is you frighten your enemies or your potential adversaries by saying i cant control this guy. Hes a lunatic. Im absolutely unable to constrain him. So you should come to the negotiating table right now and get the deal while its good or we may blow you up. That can work but only works if the threat is perceived as credible. If Foreign Countries believe that trump the people around the president are going to let him followthrough on these orders because theres some counter thought that goes on here that says, maybe theyre constraining the president. Maybe the president is not free to act as he wishes right now. Thats the point open tension there. Martha and a lot of empty offices. Its pretty crowded in the white house but theres some empty spots there. You think they need to be filled or some isolation there . Thats the fear. That he can get isolated. I dont think thats where he is right now. Martha thanks, chris. Well be right back. Wise man, im nervous about things i cant control. Affecting my good credit score. I see youve planted an uncertainty tree. Chop that thing down. The clarity you seek. Lies within the creditwise app from capital one. Creditwise helps you protect your credit. And its completely free for everyone. Its free for everyone . Do hawks use the stars to navigate . I dont know. Aw, i thought you did. I dont know either. Either way its free for everyone. Cool. Whats in your wallet . Sailin away on the crest of ea wave, its like magic rollin and ridin and slippin and slidin its magic introducing the all new volkswagen tiguan. Higher and higher, baby the new king of the concrete jungle. I kept looking for ways to manage my symptoms. I thought i was doing okay. Then it hit me. Managing was all i was doing. When i told my doctor, i learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of moderate to severe Crohns Disease even after trying other medications. In clinical studies, the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Just managing your symptoms . Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Martha in times like these in texas, everyone is called upon to do what they can. Victoria white and her gospel backup singers did that in c conroe texas. Evacuees spirits were lifted as what many were the worst days of our lives. Thats our story for tonight. Victoria white sings us to tucker time. Tucker good evening.
