Another problem fuel shortage. Gasoline has become like liquid gold. And lineups to buy fuel for y nerators stretch for miles. Teis is the third day Mary Beth Cardenas has waited in line. T ant get food. There are places that are open, that are selling food, but we just cant get to them because we dont have any gas in the car. Reporter there are lines to ooy every other essential, too, like cash to get gas. We saw Jennifer Rosa in line at the a. T. M. , where patience is in short supply. We are american citizens. Were not better than anyone, but were not worse than anyone. That is what is so hard for us to understand why its taking so long for congress to act right now. Reporter but we were there when it arrived 50 miles south of san juan in the town of salinas. Fema brought food and water. And the u. S. S. Kearsarge is now floating a few miles offshore. 20 helicopters and ospreys are ferrying supplies to the island. That gas station that we were at today, it has run out of fuel.

Shes six months pregnant and after four miscarriages, worried about her own health and the health of her baby. Isse f concern. What was causing the pain you just had . She says there was no water or d wer in her house, and she became dehydrated. She fell during Hurricane Maria, tod with many roads blocked, it took her two days to reach the hospital.

Thank you, jon. Still looking for a major legislative victory, President Trump moved on today to taxes. He rolled out his plan for an overhaul. Nancy cordes now on whats in it.

For individuals, the plan would take the seven current income tax brackets, with rates that range from 10 to 39. 6 , and consolidate them to three brackets 12 , 25 , and 35 . Democrat Chuck Schumer cried foul. The top rate on the wealthiest comes down, and the kittom rate on working class families goes up. What kind of plan is this . Reporter but, republicans argue that doubling the standard deduction and boosting the Child Tax Credit will lower working class taxes. Their plan preserves breaks for mortgage interest and charitable giving, but eliminates most other itemized deductions, along with the estate tax and the alternative minimum tax. Simplifying the tax code so that you can file your taxes on a form the size of a postcard. Reporter republicans made a show of unity today, even as analysts warned the plan could reduce government revenue by 2 trillion or more over the next 10 years. O, yeah, so, the question is how do you pay for it . Reporter South Carolina republican tim scott insists the bill, once written, will close costly loopholes. Isnt that the hard part, getting rid of all the goodies that people have gotten used to . It is the process, so the process is painful, but the outcome of seeing folks keep more of their takehome pay, seeing our nation become more competitive on a global scale, these are great outcomes. I hope we get there. Reporter he and other republicans are hoping to get that bill done by thanksgiving. And they will try to keep the lobbyists at bay, anthony, by waiting as long as possible to reveal which loopholes and carveouts are on the chopping block. Mason nancy cordes on thpitol hill.

Incumbent Luther Strange lost to roy moore, who now faces Democrat Doug Jones in a special election in december. Chip reid has more about moore. Reporter roy moore used to be a judge. Now hes a politician. A together we can make america great. Reporter but hes always sounded, as he did at last e ghts victory party, like a biblethumping preacher. Hes done more for my campaign than anybody. And thats almighty god. Reporter moore is a deeply religious man, with no tolerance sees as he sees as immoral behavior. Abortion, sodomy, sexual perversion sweep our land. Reporter as a judge, he sometimes gave the bible precedence over the constitution. In 2003, he was removed from the Alabama Supreme Court for defying a federal order to remove a plaque of the 10 commandments from his courthouse.

Hes called American Indians reds, and Asian Americans yellows. Hes called islam a false religion. Hes said homosexual activity should be illegal. He reportedly said in february that the 9 11 attacks might have icen punishment for americas turning away from god. Y,d on monday, he caused a stir by waving a gun. I believe in the second ng adment. cheers and applause reporter . During a campaign rally. President trump supported moores opponent in the republican primary, Luther Strange, in part because of worries that moore would not be a reliable supporter in the senate. In fact, moore said today he would have voted no on the republican bill to repeal and replace obamacare. Moore declared that the primary n betweenowdown between washington insiders and conservative republicans who are sick of the washington establishment. Not exactly music to the ears of his possible future colleagues. Anthony. Mason chip reid on the showdown in alabama. Thanks, chip. The start of autumn has not been kind to the president. Dean reynolds now on the misplays of the week. Reporter last friday, mr. Trump may well have sensed that a bad stretch was about to unfold. And ill be honest i might have made a mistake.

But the president appeared to relish the fight. N. F. L. Of 25 tweets on the n. F. L. He wrote booing fans had shown great anger toward the players. By monday, five days after Hurricane Maria obliterated puerto rico, he was still tweeting about the n. F. L. , while insisting it did not preoccupy him. Ive heard that before about was i preoccupied . Not at all. Not at all. I have plenty of time on my n nds.

Relief effort was getting great reviews. Everybody has said its e azing the job that weve done in puerto rico. Were very proud of it. Reporter and this, despite difficult geography. This is an island sitting in the middle of an ocean, and its a big ocean. Its a very big ocean. You cant just drive your trucks there from other states. Reporter then today, after the latest congressional failure to repeal obamacare, the eresident informed a crowd here na indiana that repeal could actually have passed. We have the votes on graham cassidy. Reporter in fact the repeal effort never had the votes to pass, and yet he tweeted this morning, virtually no president has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first nine months. But a new poll out from Quinnipiac University today begs to differ. It found 57 of voters disapprove of mr.

Reporter a few hours Later University of louisville interim pr president greg postel revealed why. Effective immediately cch pitino has been placed on an unpaid administrative leave. Reporter the disciplinary action comes just one day after federal prosecutors detailed a Corruption Scandal involving dying bribes to direct players to certain schools and then to Financial Advisers and agents. Pitino is not accused of any wrongdoing, but cbs news has learned he is mentioned in the indictment as coach 2. Prosecutors allege an assistant coach at louisville was part of a scheme to pay at least f 00,000 to the families of two recruits, if they signed with the university. In a statement, pitinos lawyer said, the information disclosed thus far is clearly insufficient to implicate coach pitino in any type of misconduct. The rush to judgment is regrettable. By all accounts, pitino was one of College Basketballs most successful coaches. His resume included 770 career victories, 12th on the alltime tns list, seven trips to the n. C. A. A. Final four, and two national championships. But it has not been a smooth ride. Personal scandals and a twoyear n. C. A. A.
