we ll be beginning with it. this is beginning of this process. not the end. so we know what the moving parts are. something with taxes, something with mandates, something with medicaid expansion. all. those will be part of the senate bill when it is released tomorrow. here s my question to you. i want to put aside the exchanges. there are problems, they re very clear. those are facts on the ground in many places. let s take it out of the equation. you can t. the two big parts you can though for this reason. to get back to your point about the budgetary implications, there are two big moving parts. the taxt cuts that will happen for the wealthiest households. if you make a million dollars, you will get a $50,000 tax cut. and then $800 billion in medicaid cuts. when people look at that no. you keep doing. this it is not a cut in medicaid. there is a reduction in the growth of medicaid. but it is still going to grow
executive order that honors explicitly honors existing law and it doesn t do anything at all. do you think this is a direct appeal to those who voted for him, when he says i m going to replace obamacare, repeal and replace it that this was a gesture to them? alex, i think it s an escape route, as i say, i have been musing for the last month or so, how are they going to get out of this corner, as they start to figure out big, big parts of the affordable care act are hugely popular, and the only way you pay for the preexisting people is to have a mandate, and if they wipe out the mandate, we re talking about an enormous deficit of money as much as a trillion dollars a year. so what you re talking about is trump is trying to backtrack, he
not until now. these guys are synchronized ice skating. i had no idea. you guys are good? yeah. we re going to show more. they re juveniles. that s all i heard. take a look at the weather map. show you what s going on right now. we have the ice storm where it s synthetic ice across the central plains. big parts across new mexico right now. but the big story where you see that pink, that is rain falling as rain and then hitting the ground and freezing on contact and that s why we have this ice storm on going. it will continue today and into tomorrow, although tomorrow it lifts a little bit farther off to the north. so right where you see that purple, that s the ice storm going on. extend almost to the minnesota border and by tomorrow, we re going to see icing up to the minneapolis area. here s what it looks like right now. you see that pink, that s where we have it going.
not just in the election, but literally by temperature. big parts of the u.s. in the grip of a record-breaking heat wave. meteorologist chad myers has the forecast. is the cause the intense toxicity of the election that is literally heating up the globe? you had it going, hot air. for the first time in a long time, the skeletons and the ghosts didn t have to wear parkas. that certainly ruins the effect of halloween. a nice halloween across the east coast. across the southeast, 32 record highs yesterday. we expect just the same number for today. temperatures in the 80s when we should be in the 60s. now, watch what you ask for because by the end of the weekend, we re back where we should be. even new york city down to a high of 50 on friday. but that will feel pretty good if you re going out, maybe picking some apples. i guess it s too late to pick pumpkins. but you can certainly get some hi hot cider. okay.
out there, the things chad mentioned a while ago, you can reverse engineer from where you find things on the surface to get a reasonable estimate as to where that big portion of the fuselage is below the water, if in fact the plane came down intact. that could take a pretty cool while to do. but that third layer of searching, not the surface, not the middle but the third layer is probably where they ll find the most critical evidence out there because if you think about it, that s really where you re going to find the heavy parts of the plane. and those are going to be the parts that really matter in all of this. you re going to be talking big parts of the wing, big parts of the tail big, heavy things like the engine, each about 9,000 pounds. landing gear the cockpit and the all-important data and voice recorders. it s to get to that third level of searching that they have to spend so much time right now on the first two layers, the top and middle layers. because those are pointers tha
