this point mckenzie is just across cook inlet. done some stories on the bridge to nowhere. one of those bridges to nowhere was supposed to cross over that area of the cook inlet, to point mckenzie s there was a heavily populated area just north of anchorage, but you mentioned about the tsunami warnings, its interest interesting because you re talking about smaller waves in the inlet but those tsunami warnings have not been issued further down the coast into seattle so i talked to the seismology folks in seattle and not a quake that they worry about that the big one happening out here, this was north of that subduction zone and those tsunami warnings have not been triggered for the people down south of anchorage. harris: the u.s. geological survey, talking about what it first came in at has reduced the number 26.6. i m going to bring in now a professor and expert on this,
okay, i don t think anyone is saying trillions, but certainly a lot of money, and they re asking for the money. i think i ve heard 18 billion, something like that. that s what the president asked for. steve: okay, i m going to give that you. i m going to give you it s not needed and a waste of money. why isn t it, for democrats, a price worth paying to get the daca deal done, to help the dreamers. why not accept it? that s saying let s throw away money for some other, the bridge to nowhere. in order to come up with a deal for not drilling in the steve: he s not saying he doesn t care about the dreamers. i want to let ed jump? jason chaffetz owes the american people an apology, the stephen colbert meeting moved the ball forward bigtime. that was funny. in all seriousness, all we need to do is follow the law. one of the things i m told by people in the white house why the president became inflamed
