Thats why you have Lisa Murkowski saying im going to vote against you in the health care fight. How does he get republicans on board to get tax reform done . The reality may be that theyre looking at tax cuts, because they dont have that big, broad

Praise, you talked only about taxes. You said essentially that you have pushed this item for local Property Taxpayers for the region that albany was very proactive in pushing Thistaxpay Faso only talked about the environment. This is to eliminate and save new york 19 Property Taxpayers millions of dollars. If this is about reforming medicaid, why are and you your colleagues only talking about tax cuts . Youre praising tax cuts. I wholly support john faso and mr. Collins amendment. Here in western new york, people are leaving in droves because they cant pay their bills and take care of their homes. What we should do is put the burden on the State Capitol because they control how this program is delivered at the local level. New york is one of the only states that puts it on the taxpayers to foot the bill. From my perspective, this is a great amendment that needs to be supported and reduce the 145 million in my low income areas across this district are going to be relieved. Thats the rig
United states immigration and Customs Enforcement will hold a Press Conference at 2 15 today. Probably not too far away. To announce the results of a highly successful recent gang surge operation. The president has made enforcement of our nations Immigration Law the top priority and todays announcement will under score not only that commitment, but his focus on targeting transnational gangs and prioritizing the removal of criminal aliens who pose a threat to public safety. Also today Secretary Mattis met with the turkish Prime Minister to discuss a range of bilateral Security Issues and the secretary reiterated the United States commitment to protecting our nato allies and both leaders affirmed their support for peace and stability in iraq and syria. One other thing i wanted to point out.

And in beirut today but actually based in london at the school of economics. An expert on terrorism and the coauthor of isis the state of terr terror. And peter bergen joins us from washington. He is a Vice President at new america. Peter, let me ask you, does this strike you as terrorists adapting yet again . Because what is interesting about this to me is its in many ways very low tech. A van going into crowds, people brandishing knives and using them as weapons. Of course, guns are very hard to get in britain. Maybe im just trying to look for a Silver Lining here. All of that means theyre
finding it hard to do big bombs at symbolic locations and that kind of thing, and what they are reduced to is driving vans and using knives, which is, of course, terrible and tragic, but you can only kill so many people, particularly if the Police Responds as quickly as
