On one of las vegass busiest highways. With the last rain falling overfour months ago, the oily roads mixed with the fresh water have become a lethal recipe for disaster. In the driving seat is sergeantjohn arias, from nevada highway patrol. Hes using waycare, software that alerts him to an incident as soon as its reported via someone calling 911 or through driving apps like waze and it provides him with details and the best route to get to the scene.

We want to make sure there is an orderly transition for the families struggling with obamacare. Charles its the blame game. Democratic senator Chuck Schumer laid into republicans. The republican plan to repeal and replace obamacare wouldnt make american great again, it would make america sick again. Charles mercedes, there are a lot of different ages here. One is the political angle. I think the democrats are setting up the blame game, but it wont be as easy as repealing and replacing.
