studies such as mris and one of the first targeted biopsies we specifically look for lesions and we can find cancer early. the nice thing about prostate cancer when it s caught early on and you ve absolutely no symptoms and without screening you won t be able to find it. early on the risk of death is much reduced, complications are lower in people go back to their lives a really good quality of life. eric: is there such a thing as a normal psa number? typically we say less than four months a number to remember. but it s also age-specific. when i see someone at the age of 40 and look for psa around one point by to see what it does over the years. if you really jumps from 1.5 to three to six, i would be concerned about this patient and i would basically recommend to get a biopsy.
reporter: the cleanup continues. we have seen a bit of a silver lining. so many people have shown up who frequent these businesses. they say what can i do to help. they are painting and sweeping. laura: what kind of sense do you get about what s happening the rest of the day? are people on guard? is there a heavier police presence? we know there will be a protest downtown locally. but it s supposed to rain. police said they have a zero tolerance for any types of violence we have seen play out the last two nights. eric: we had hurricane harvey and irma. we are tracking yet the third massive storm.
done. reporter: hi, eric. many meetings between lawmakers and the white house discussing tax reform has arguably become the most important legislative issue for the white house on top of their to-do list. far from any of the task. republicans are negotiating this so-called big stakes. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, chair of the senate finance committee orrin hatch, treasury secretary steve many mnuchin, house speaker paul ryan and chairman of the house ways and means committee kevin brady. reunified around a strong middle-class tax cut. i want to lower the rates at every level that people keep more of what they earn and grow the economy. eric: house republicans release details of the tax plan the week of september 25th. the elements of tax reform and then return to the budget. i really needs to be completed by mid-october because that gives us the runway, the rules
eric: war would be untenable. millions dead. 20 million dead in seoul. i think the predictions are exaggerated. nobody wants war on the korean peninsula. but here is the question americans should ask themselves. when this current crisis is over in a month or 6 months or a year. do you find it acceptable north korea would have the capability to hit targets in the united states with a miewk jar weapon? if you don t want to live under the threat of blackmail by this bizarre regime, and the same question could be applied with respect to iran. that s why the military option has to be on the table. eric: what do you think he will say to diplomats? john: i was there for the first two. i have been through this drill. the definition of insanity is keep doing the same thing over
united states of america. it s total insanity it s either the most of corrupt thing going not world, which is saying something. outer s one of the most of income tent things i have ever seen. eric: either the most of corrupt or the most of incompetent. and it s insane. do you have think he will say those things to the diplomats. john: i think the president will give what the state department will describe as a speech that won t inflame anybody. when president george w. bush gave a speech he would refer to it always a speech to the wax museum because the diplomats would sit there and wait for it to be over. eric: will he use the words radical islamic tear film that
