we must maintain deterrence, we agree with that. but we should not go around threatening the use of nuclear weapons. this goes very, very much counter to our own interests. secretary ernest muniz, thank you very much. it s always great to see you. thank you. good to see you. turning now to puerto rico. president trump s new threat to end u.s. aid to the storm-ravaged island, those people being american citizens. it s a u.s. territory. he said, we cannot keep fema, the military and the first responders, who have been amazing under the most difficult circumstances, in pr forever. quote, disaster before hurricanes. this is days before mike pence visited the island and said the administration would stick with puerto rico for as long as the recovery takes. we are with you today. we will be with you today. we will be with you every day until puerto rico rebuilds and
getting familiar but they demand focus. puerto rico, everywhere you look you see a need for complete rebuilds. how do they start? how do they get going? how do they survive in the interim, next. hey grandpa. hey, kid. really good to see you. you too. you tell grandma you were going fishing again? maybe.

orleans after hurricane katrina. they are likely to be desperately needed as texas rebuilds to clean streets, demolish buildings, reconstruct homes and offices. undocumented workers made up about a quarter of the construction workers after katrina devastated new orleans. now it s houston s turn to pick itself up after a massive hurricane. and in florida, the work has already begun. but as one undocumented immigrant in texas said to the washington post, if they deport all of us, who will rebuild? it s a good question, particularly if the trump administration has its way. last night as hurricane irma was hitting florida, the man president trump brought to the oval office with him was telling the country that immigration had nothing to do with the building of america in the first place. you couldn t be more dead wrong. america was build on her citizens. we re all immigrants. america was built on her citizens. don t this is the thing of the leftist. charlie, that s beneath you. a
