Or address. Jon we will take you to the floor live, plus three people who protested at attorney general Jeff Sessions confirmation hearing now facing jail time. The kind of precedent this case could set. And. Major flooding in the midwest and plains states. What happened to a home overtaken by one swollen river. It is all happening now. Jon we begin with the republican effort to repeal and replace obamacare. A vote on the g. O. P. Plan will begin any minute now. We are covering it live right here on fox, looking for the second hour of happening now i am Patti Ann Browne and for jenna lee. 216, that is the magic number of votes for republicans to pass their bill and send it to the senate where it will almost certainly be amended, the noncongressional Budget Office has not scored the new bill, but had determined the previous g. O. P. Measure would cost 24 million americans their insurance. I dont believe that number is accurate because its looking at a small slice of what were doing, the
Days. In fact they have been circulating a clip from when he was a freshman congressman, and looks much, much younger. He is talking about what is about to happen. Big time tax reform that he said he studied, as always sought and now it appears in the house they have the votes to make it happen while he is the speaker. He is odyssey came a long way from the freshman irishman, and the ways and means chairman. Democrats on the floor, and they are trying whip up supporters and protesters and trying to disrupt the proceeding with talks like this. It is a scam. The American People know it. This bill is about helping People Living paycheck to paycheck hi hell no. Will it bring back the middle class . Hell, no. They say its only the rich will benefit. Any bad talk about the tax bill, constituents have been hearing is because certain pendants have been cherry picking statistics. They think this is something that will affect everyone in a country in a good way. Today, we are giving the people t
Russian Business Access to 20 of the uranium supply in this country. They want to know whether the Obama Administration hid what they knew about the case from congress. And the reason were hearing about a 2010 case now, this deal, is because an informant has come forward. Its all because of new information thats come to light, what we didnt know, and we still dont know, was there an open fbi investigation or not back in 2010 . Thats what were aiming to find out. Reporter lawmakers who were at the News Conference this morning, none have spoken with the fbi informant, but the allegation is theyve got information, maybe even videos that go to the idea that the russians were trying to buy their way into this deal through Hillary Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time and the Clinton Foundation. This informant is under an nda, nondisclosure agreement, or gag order. The lawmaker is working with the Justice Department to get that lifted. For Hillary Clinton, she did an interview with
School boards. Local states. As a parent myself and as a citizen, i think its a good idea but as speaker of the house i think we need to respect federalism and local jurisdictions. The House Republican whip a victim of gun violence himself spoke about the failures in florida. I wouldnt be here right now if it wasnt for Law Enforcement confronting the shooter in my case. And its really disappointing that ultimately somebody didnt go into that school that was there and armed to protect those kids. The Senate Democratic leader continued his call for keeping weapons out of hands of those who should not have them. Its outrageous that so many guns are sold with no background check whatsoever. Whether you are a felon, an adjudicated mentally ill, spousal abuser, outrageous. We should close those loopholes. Other democrats say they are hopeful that President Trump will be able to convince members of his own party that action is needed on guns, Mental Health, and protecting our schools. Today a
History of murdering its own people who dare to speak the truth. In the days ahead, we will be calling for an emergency session both here in new york and at the Human Rights Council in geneva. We must not be silent. Dana kevin corke is white at live at the white house. Frankly, the president has been clear in his position that its time for change is now. He said as much in a tweet. I want to take you to twitter. To say the least, he has been incredibly active on twitter today already, ten tweets and we havent even made it. Let me share this one but he said iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with him by the Obama Administration. He goes on to say the great iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food and for freedom along with human rights, the wealth of iran is being looted, time for change. That tweet comes amid demonstrations across the Islamic Republic and a deadly government crackdown to silence dissent. More than 20 people
