[ booing ] now, listen, if hearing that raises your blood pressure, calm down. you can t afford the medication anymore. all right, just to get wonky now, because some of those tax cuts oh, please. they don t even go away until 2023. and let s be honest, the reality of this country, we might be on an entirely different health care system in 2023. we might be repealing trumpcare and moving on to the next thing. which is not child s play. this is stuff that really matters. all right, 50 minutes past the hour. more trouble for uber. the company is facing criminal charges. we ll tell you why on cnn money stream, next. it delivers a whole mouth clean with a less intense taste. zero alcohol™. so it has the bad breath germ-killing power of this.
