12:00 am
at that baseball game last year. his doctors say things are looking good but he's been through so much. perseverance and courage and almost always a smile on his face. steve scalise tonight once again recovering from yet another surgery. that's all the time we have left tonight. shannon bream takes on things from here. >> shannon: here's what we have coming up tonight. >> shannon: downplaying the idea he'll have to interview with the special counsel, is president trump injecting some uncertainty into what his legal team has insisted is the closing chapter of the special counsel probe. as top congressional leaders work on immigration, the president comes under fire for leaving it all up to them. >> president trump: my positions are going to be with the people in this room come up with. just what is it causing top up oaklands to call it quits. we'll hear from house judiciary chairman bob goodlatte. plus we investigate the plight
12:01 am
of christian refugees from around the world. ♪ >> shannon: welcome to "fox news @ night," i'm shannon bream in washington. new tonight, a bipartisan group of senators is reportedly making progress on a border security deal which would also theoretically solve the question to the so-called dreamers. the reported progress comes the day after president trump airs a very public gathering of lawmakers and put the ball in their courts to do something. he suggested he's willing to sign off on any deal they hammer out as long as it funds a border wall. an actual deal could still be a long way off with anti-immigration hardliners worried about getting sold out by republicans eager for a deal and democrats still getting pressure from advocates for open borders and unlimited immigration. all this on a day that the trump
12:02 am
administration crackdown, it's just getting started. >> immigration and customs enforcement went after nearly 100 7-eleven stores nationwide, arresting 21 people accused of being in this country illegally. ice says these are not rates, they are audits. instead of targeting employees who may be in the country illegally, ice is going after the store owners and managers who may be hiring illegal immigrants and paying them less than minimum wage. ice says in the future of these of operations are "not going to be limited to large companies or any particular industry big, medium, and a small, it's going to be inclusive of everything that we see out there. he goes on to say this operations will continue to expand. these new 7-eleven audits are an expansion of the investigation that began in 2013 under
12:03 am
president obama and it was president obama who dramatically increase the number of ice audits from george w. bush. if you look back at the numbers over the past eight years you will see that in 2017, president trump deported fewer illegal immigrants than any year during the obama administration. authorities say that's mostly because the border is under better control with stricter enforcement grade as a result of fewer illegal immigrants are trying to cross the border to begin with. the lower deportation rate also has to do with the fact that under president trump, the number of illegal immigrants are arrested inside of the united states has gone up significantly and that has led to a major backlog in immigration courts, cases are being processed at a much slower rate. remember, it can take years for undocumented immigrants to make it through the legal pipeline. we should note that despite the lower numbers of people being
12:04 am
arrested at the border, the trump administration maintains that they wall along the border is still very much needed. >> shannon: trace gallagher life for us in los angeles. there is no comprehensive while being built along the border. mostly allocated so far for those stereotypes to show you, when we say the president is talking about a border wall. immigration hardliners are deeply worried by what he said yesterday about working with congress on daca in exchange for the wall. in case you missed it, the president said it should be a bill of love. in his news conference with the leader of norway, the president was pressed about how serious he is about that wall. >> president trump: we need the wall for security, we need the wall for safety, we needed for stopping the drugs from pouring in. i would imagine the people in the room both democrat and republican, i really believe they are going to come up with a solution to the daca problem
12:05 am
which has been going on for a long time. maybe beyond that immigration as a whole. any solution has to include the wall. >> shannon: the wall is definitely in. joining us now, the "washington examiner"'s chief congressional correspondent. welcome to you both. let's talk about the wall because we had a couple folks on last night discussing who weren't convincing that it's the end-all be-all solution. is it part of the solution? is it necessary to have it along the entire length of the border, what's your assessment? it is an important tool, it's not the silver bullet. the fact that it's not going to be all too thousand miles, is something the president said two years ago in primary debates. it's obvious, there are parts of the texas border where it's a sheer cliff on the mexican side.
12:06 am
there is already a wall and got a it. other places, you do need a wall. my only concern is the president and hammers at all the time as though it's the number one thing we need, in my opinion it's on the list, not at the top of the list. >> shannon: i'm going to read something from louie gohmert, if republicans help pass an amnesty bill, no matter what legalistic or deceptive name without first securing the border and building a wall, republican voters will stay home, majority of voters
12:07 am
>> nothing is going to happen unless there is that key trade-off, everything else is negotiable at this point. will there be extensive border security, today republicans introduced a bill laying down their marker and what they want to see. it goes well beyond the wall. interior enforcement and not releasing people out into the united states where they never show up for their court date. all kinds of things go well beyond the wall and the democrats don't like it at all. i think they know they're going to have to put down some money for the wall in exchange for legalizing the dreamers. they don't want to do the more expensive stuff. nothing is going to happen because you do need nine democrats in the senate. passed a bill introduced by house republicans.
12:08 am
>> shannon: republicans in the senate may not go along with that, we're going to talk with congressman goodlad, he is coming up in a short time. will try to dig into those details. we talk about some kind of legal status for the 800,000 estimated who are here, brought here as kids by their parents. they aren't kids now, we always like to make that distinction. most of them are grown adults. they are here through means that is illegal. it's just going to encourage the next wave of people that are brought here by their parents. not initially by their own fault. >> amnesty is going to do that. it attracts more illegal immigration. it leads to downstream a chain migration. when they get legalized and sponsored their family members. that's why an eight daca deal
12:09 am
has to deal with both of those things. it has to have enforcement that blunts that surge of new illegal immigration that would come. but also gets rid of the chain migration category, you don't end up giving amnesty to the parents as well a few years down the road. that's why this package has to be there. simply trading some border money for amnesty, it's a guarantee that it's going to fail. just going to have more illegal immigration and are going to have a surge of legal immigration a few years down the road. you have to have all those things together in a package, you can't have with the democrats call a clean dream act, that's a recipe for failur failure. >> shannon: how would you handicap this is part of something done? >> maybe not at all, they just
12:10 am
do nothing, it's being held up in the courts. even the idea of deporting them are taking away their permits -- it's going to be a struggle. there's such a difference between what border security should be and what the democrats are willing to give. what i'm told on capitol hill is democrats are resisting the border security aspect of this. they will continue to do so and put their -- up for border security. >> shannon: we will see, pressures on all sides. thanks for come again. president trump a standing firm on the border wall but apparently wavering on whether he will talk with the special counsel. investigating allegations that his campaign colluded with the russians. if the single greatest witch hunt in american history, that's what president trump calls the russia collusion investigation today. as reports surfaced fbi director christopher wray and deputy attorney general rod rosenstein met with cell senate intelligee
12:11 am
officials today, ed henry is here to tell us what it all means. >> this is all about president trump trying to go on offense over these various russian investigations, fed up with playing so much defense. remember last night, file defamation suits against buzz feet, fusion gps. declaring that dianne feinstein who has on numerous occasions stated a collusion between trump and russia has not been found would release testimony in such an underhanded, possibly illegal way totally without authorization is a disgrace. must have tough primary. then he joined the new news conference with prime minister of norway because of all of
12:12 am
these investigations, made the case that the narrative has now shifted. >> president trump: there is collusion but it's really with the democrats and the russians. far more than it is with the republicans in the russians. the witch hunt continues. i will say this, i am for massive oil and gas and everything else, a lot of energy -- a vladimir putin can't love that. i am for the strongest military the united states ever had, he can't love that. if hillary was not for a strong military and hillary my opponent was for windmills and other typs of energy that don't have the same capacities. >> the president hedged in a possible one-on-one by saying when there is no, it's unlikely there would need to be an interview.
12:13 am
she was interviewed over an email server, it was up to robert mueller. >> shannon: thank you very much. president trump making it easier to attack a synthetic to play on the u.s.-mexico border to send the interdict act. it's a bipartisan measure that provides $15 million to purchase 250 screening devices that would allow them to detect synthetic opioids by fenton all that are often brought across the border. good news for american workers, toyota and mazda announcing plans to build a new joint production place in huntsville, alabama. starting in 2021 it projects to build about 300,000 corollas and suvs per year and employee about thousand people. during an annual do your event with diplomats today, israel's prime minister said palestinian leader mahmoud abbas is using
12:14 am
president trump's decision to move the embassy to jerusalem as an excuse to avoid peace talks. he claims the palestinians have run away from peace talks with israel. president trump formally recognized jerusalem as the capital of israel late last year. in a statement late last night, president trump said he's grateful for our next guest for heading a daca solution and retiring. so many other prominent republicans, could either issue cost them the house, fall? that powerful images coming from southern california as rescuers work into the night clinging to hope there are still survivors among the missing. reporting from inside the supreme court on a hot button political issue, what's today's case says about the responsibility that comes with your right to vote. >> it is a shame, plain and simple. it is wrong on every level. i broke down crying and i'm proud to say, it's devastating.
12:15 am
12:16 am
12:17 am
12:18 am
>> shannon: house republicans led by bob goodlatte of virginia have released an outline but what they say daca it should look like. it contains mandatory e-verify,
12:19 am
authorizations for the wall and much more. some republicans say his bill is not tough enough. they are calling it daca amnesty. as you may have heard, 46 house members are retiring or not running for office this year -- 32 of them are republicans, seven of them are powerful committee chairman just like congressman goodlad. they are certainly feeling the heat on immigration reform, what else is driving so many of them to walk away from the the hill? who better to ask then chairman goodlatte himself, thanks to have you with us again. let's start with the bill today, i want to start with e-verify. this is something that would hold employers responsible and accountable for hiring people and attracted them to this country illegally. that's something we see completely die in the senate. why is there opposition from both republicans and democrats? >> i think it's some kind of
12:20 am
fear about the reality of the situation. 750,000 american businesses voluntarily use the e-verify program. it's expensive, you can do it on your smartphone or a minute or two. it's 99.7% accurate. gives them safe harbor until they figure out whether they have a false positive or false negative in those cases. it's definitely something that is needed because obviously somebody the maxim of the people who are not participating in it don't want to know whether they are hiring somebody who was illegal or not. it only is perspective it doesn't require you to go back and look at your current workforce. it's a very good thing. >> shannon: what about this biometric entry and exit system? my understanding is it some form of that was a long time ago. we know that people come to the contrary, we don't always know if they ever leave. that the majority of the illegal immigration problem. >> 40% or more of people
12:21 am
unlawfully entering the united states entered illegally on visas of all kinds and it simply never left. so you don't know whether they have left and you can't determine who you should be looking for who didn't comply with the law. the trump administration has -- even though this law has been on the book for 17 years -- early taken it seriously. they are now hard at work at implementing it, the hardest is a land crossings, people are in cars, how do you determine who was in that car? airports much easier to do. i think you will see some progress and it is of vital importance to know who came into this country and didn't leave. >> shannon: of this bill there have been some critics, hearing from louie gohmert and a piece that we cited earlier, republican colleagues from texas, he said anyone who brings any type of legislation to the house and senate floor to give
12:22 am
any legal status to groups who are not here illegally before the wall is built will be the proximate cause of betraying determined voters who elected donald j. trump as president. >> he's a dear friend, member of the judiciary committee. he has a very firm viewpoint that it is in the house a very small number who take that position. this is a very important bill. the president when he ended as he should have its unconstitutional the way the president created it, you have to address the daca recipients. i think congress has responded to that. it responds in a way he asked for, it includes border security which includes not just a wall, it is much more enforcement and what you do legally with people who enter the country and can't be returned home today. all kinds of provisions under
12:23 am
the rubric, in addition to ending chain migration which is what happens when somebody gets the status in the united states, can bring a whole ton of people who may not benefit our economy, our society, we need to move to a merit-based immigration system and finally ending the visa lottery. a crazy program that brings people into this country based on pure luck, not based on any merit whatsoever. >> shannon: you're going to be among those greatly missed by your party. you hold a very important position. congresswoman is another one who is not sticking around. here's what she has to say about looking to the future. >> we see the future, it ain't pretty. if not for in moderate districts. in those districts where hillary clinton did well, we are facing some strong headwinds. you've just got to be a very good member of congress to supersede this wave that could very well be coming.
12:24 am
>> shannon: i know everybody has their own reasons for leaving but this is a large number. are you concerned republicans could lose the house? some of these seats could flip. >> every party needs to take the next election very seriously. i think this republican party is starting to catch a wave in its favor, started with the tax cuts. the president had a very good look at it. i think we will build on that going into this year. we've got to address a number of things including infrastructure, welfare reform, and doing immigration in such a way that as the speaker says, we not only take care of the daca recipients but we also make sure that never happens again. that's what the bill that i and mike mccall, raul labrador and martha mcsorley have done here and we are going to build up a lot of support for this. we are going to put on
12:25 am
legislation that sets it right. if you're going to take care of people brought here by their parents illegally and some came on their own, you need to make sure that were stopping this from happening in the future. >> shannon: we know you have some work to do, thank you very much for your time tonight. authorities now say 17 people have died in southern california mudslides, 13 are still missing. the death toll rising, searchers pulled two more bodies in the santa barbara area. flash flooding swept mode, and debris down by the thomas wildfire, hundreds of firefighters are hunting through the mud and wreckage. three more people rescue tonight. there are still many more areas left to be searched. the body of a 19-year-old college student has been found in orange county.
12:26 am
vanished last tuesday after he and a friend drove to a park where his friend said bernstein walked in around 11:00 p.m. and never returned. he had been home visiting in california from the university of pennsylvania where he was a student. his body was found in brush surrounding the park near where he was last seen. police are investigating the death as a murder. an intriguing day at the supreme court with the justices heard arguments headline grabbing issue out of ohio. christians around the world gather in washington today, will introduce you to one group, two of the president's most important campaign promises

12:31 am
supreme court today in a hot button political dispute that could impact elections all across the country. joseph halley served multiple tours of duty, but when he returned and wanted to vote in his ohio hometown he was told he couldn't. his name had been taken off the voter rolls pursuant to an ohio law. now he is challenging the state law. >> it is a shame, it is wrong on every level. i broke down crying, i'm proud to say it. it devastated me, it crushed me to hear that somebody in my home state say your service wasn't good enough to come home an end continue voting. >> shannon: ohio was one of several states with procedures to clean up voter rolls for someone who hasn't voted in consecutive elections and who fails to respond to a notice from the state. opponents of the law say it unfairly targets minority and lower income voters by adding another procedural obstacle. supporters say it promotes
12:32 am
ballot integrity and prevents voter fraud. >> we believe our state is one where we make it easier to vote and hard to cheat. we believe our system bridges that balance. >> a predictable split developed inside the court today especially on how to treat those who want to confirm their voting eligibility or whether or not they've moved. justice sonia sotomayor asking "how can we read this statute to permit you to begin the process of disenfranchising solely on the basis of that with no independent evidence whatsoever that the person has moved? justice anthony kennedy it seemed to speak for a majority on the bench saying the reason they are perjuring them is they want to protect the voter rolls from people that have moved and they are voting at the wrong district. that's the reason. what we're talking about are the best tools to implement. >> this is permissible because what ohio doing is lawful they are not knocking people off the rolls simply because of a
12:33 am
failure to vote. instead what they are doing is they're saying you failed to respond to our inquiry. >> we have this culture that's come up of trying to limit the vote as much as possible in order to gain a partisan advantage. >> shannon: we expect a decision on the court by june. the washington free beacon alleges white house officials and congressional leaders are scrambling to save the iran nuclear deal. the white house is staring down a friday deadline in order to preserve the nuclear agreement -- it would have to await key economic sanctions on iran. officials are working to convince the president of that waving these sanctions is for now the best course of action. in washington today, religious watchdog group open doors usa revealed its 2018 worldwatch list ranking the top 50 most dangerous countries for christians. rhonda placed tenth on the list. exhibit a in making that case is
12:34 am
a group of about 100 iranian christians and other religious minorities residing in legal limbo in austria. their immigration status on hol hold, put there late in the obama administration. joins us live with that story and more. >> they're worried they may be sent back to tehran. caught between two of the most repeated campaign promises. they travel ban and protecting christians around the world. >> people's heads are chopped off by the hundreds, by the thousands. if you're christian, you have no chance. i have such tremendous support is unbelievable. >> candidates trump promised protection to christians abroad and the american people for terror. >> donald j. trump is causing for a total and complete shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> perfect example is the trump administration's unwillingness
12:35 am
to let in about 100 a radiance waylaid for a year in austria awaiting refugee status. >> very carefully on this issue, sending these christians that could be a death sentence. >> they arrived in austria seeking protection from iran's notorious religious persecution. so bad at that last week the state department designated iran among ten countries of particular concern for violating of religious freedom. >> we must not be silent. >> activists for the 100 claiming the administration isn't just remaining silent but refusing to overturn an obama era decision to put a hold on the group's resettlement in america. it's not just threats facing christians in the middle east. terror attacks against egyptian coptic christians continue. a gunman killed nine in a cairo church around christmas. 28 died when their bus was attacked and routed to a
12:36 am
monastery. twin bombings on palm sunday killed 49. >> they force them to marry muslim guys. we need help in hand for egypt for our security there for the christians who lived in small villages. >> tonight the state department gave us this statement about the 100 a radiance in vienna. they can't comment on a specific case. since 1983, the red states has resettled 53,000 iranian religious minorities by austria. since january 2017, they have resettled over 600 iranian religious minorities also through austria. the safety and security of the american people are paramount, iranian refugee applicants are under the same stringent security vetting process that applies to applicants of other nationalities, this really highlights the difficulty of these decisions.
12:37 am
vetting people from the places where christians are persecuted the most is inherently the most difficult to do. >> thank you so much for an update on that story. more and more companies are giving out bonuses in the wake of the president's tax reform bill passing. why are democrats downplaying the good news? our political panel is going to break it down nest. most of the media may have moved on for the trump administration has not paid when it comes to the plight of thousands of iranian protesters jailed, some killed by the terrorist regime, what the white house is saying about that tonight straight ahead jack and jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water. all because of a burst water pipe in their house that ruined the hardwood floors in their kitchen. luckily the geico insurance agency had helped them with homeowners insurance and the inside of their house was repaired and floors replaced. jack and jill no longer have to fetch water.
12:38 am
they now fetch sugar-free vanilla lattes with almond milk. call geico and see how affordable homeowners insurance can be.

12:41 am
>> shannon: republicans quick to seize on headlines about companies giving bonuses to employees and utility companies lowering rates as the result of the newly passed tax plan. democrats not so much. >> if democrats take control of congress, would you repeal the tax law? >> we have to change it, take out the parts that are giant giveaways to big corporations that right now the republicans plan for hardworking families to eventually pay for it. >> companies announcing they are going to be giving a big break to consumers. >> it is a trillion at half
12:42 am
dollars that the republicans gave away two billionaires and two giant corporations. >> shannon: joining me now, isaac writes. democratic strategist and partner with forward solutions strategy group and partner with firehouse strategies, great to see both of you here. where did we go with this? just a reminder, the tax policy center which is not a right-leaning group says in their analysis 80% of people are going to get a tax cut. 15% give no change. 5% are going to see some kind of increase. they broke this down further and said that middle-income families, 90% get a cut, 3% of stays the same, why is this so terrible? >> the question is where are the values in a tax cut? how much are you seeing people get? you're seeing 50% of the value going to the wealthiest 1%.
12:43 am
>> shannon: if they're paying the vast majority of taxes, why when they get the most cuts? >> that's just next year. ten years from now, you're going to see corporations which are getting around 48, $49 billion in total taxes. if you're going to see an $83 billion tax increase on individual taxpayers. >> shannon: that's only if they vote not to extend these tax cuts. >> that's what they voted to do. they had the option, this republican majority had the option what are our priorities? do we make the corporate tax cuts for corporate shareholders and ceos permanent? or do we make the tax cuts for working people permanent? they went with the corporate tax cuts as permanent, the rest of us are stuck with temporary trickle-down. >> were cutting taxes for the mass majority of taxpayers, some of the people seeing tax increases are elizabeth warren constituents in high tax boston. they might see a small increase if they are making a lot of
12:44 am
money. the reason they corporate tax cuts are permanent are still businesses have confidence to give out the bonuses to raise the minimum wage like we are seeing companies doing all over the country. you might call that trickle down but that is real money for real people. i don't know how anyone could be against that. >> let's put a little perspective. at&t thousand dollar tax cuts for some employees, they laid off thousands of employees. those people don't have an income to pay taxes on anymore. you're talking about people who literally lost their job from the same corporation you're praising for how generous it is to these workers. >> shannon: do you think these people's jobs were cut because at&t got a giant tax cut? >> nor do i think the thousand dollars is a fair representation of the tax cuts. look at goldman sachs. they are getting $26 billion in tax cuts. if they joined with a $1,000
12:45 am
bonus for employees, that's a fraction, that is a tiny chrome from the table for the working people who empower america's economy. who wants to be trickle-down? let's share the wealth with everybody at the table who's working to put into this economy, not just shareholders of the richest corporations. >> that's with a tax that does. 80% of taxpayers are going to see a tax cut. >> that's the problem, that's not what it does if you read the map. >> shannon: the policy number broke down -- >> that same report your siting is also the one that points out the difference in the tax cut. the fact that middle-class taxpayers are going to get half the value. >> 90% of middle-class tax houses are out there getting a tax cut. 90% of them. >> it's a complaint at how little there getting compared to the giant corporations and the ceos. >> clearly the people who pay more in taxes are going to get a larger tax cut.
12:46 am
people who pay no income taxes at all are going to be seeing a higher tax rebate. virtually everyone in america is going to have more money in their pocket because of this. its white retail socks are soaring now, it's whether stocks are up since we passed tax reform. giving more americans more money to spend on their families, more of their hard-earned paychecks to keep, that is good politics. why elizabeth warren would be on tv, that this is somehow bad for the country -- that's bad economics but it's also terrible public -- i'm glad to see her out there. if that's the message going into the midterms were going to be just fine. >> it's an $83 billion tax hike on working americans in the next ten years. if that's the same report your siding. >> that's collective over the course of ten years. >> shannon: in the meantime's they're going to get more money back on their tax rebates. >> they're going to pay more on taxes on the long-term.
12:47 am
i don't understand how republicans can justify -- there's a reason why the last poll said americans oppose this 2-1. they will see their taxes going up over the long run. >> 90% are getting a tax cut. >> $83 billion tax increase. >> she wants to raise taxes on people. >> shannon: were going to take this into the commercial. we have to take a break. you've seen the protesters on the streets of iran. what about the plight of the nation's christians? we are going to investigate that next. we'll tell you about vice president mike pence's newest

>> shannon: the trump administration said it's deeply concerned that iran has imprisoned thousands of citizens for engaging in peaceful protests. the white house says we will not remain silent as the dictatorship oppresses the basic right of its citizens and will hold leaders accountable for any violation. if the administration is also pushing for a release of all political prisoners in iran. according to the washington free beacon, sending them back to iran, joining me now, nina shea.
12:52 am
the center for religious freedom at the hudson institute. it seems from now, these protests in iran have died down but if there are people jailed because of their role with it. we have seen family members lined up there which we know is a terrible place, what do you think becomes of them? u.s. is speaking out, there's only so much we can do. >> we need to be collecting their names and using those names as we did with the soviet dissidents. keep their names alive, also to really broadcast and let the american people know the brave heroism of these people who risked their lives to protest for freedom. it was far deeper than economic grievances. they were taking on the clerical role and the tyranny of that
12:53 am
theocracy. they were calling for religious freedom, they were giving them the death penalty which is blasphemy. the women played a very big role, they have continued to protest in a quiet way on the social media site expressing their freedom by taking off their headscarves. and showing their faces. >> shannon: meantime we have this other case from about a hundred christians who left a run a program, many of them sold their businesses, their homes, every possession they had at the tail end of the obama administration for some reason some of these folks made it in but there are about of a hundred of them who are blocked. we understand that some of these iranian christians are living in homeless shelters in austria because they can't get into the u.s. how they fear they are going to be sent back to iran which some people say would be a death
12:54 am
sentence. >> it could be a death sentence. they suffer persecution as religious minorities. this is a shiite theocracy. they are overwhelmingly christians this group of 100 or so. so maybe other religions, minorities -- to put them back into iran in any circumstance would be dangerous for them. to do it in the midst of a human rights crackdown would just be disastrous. they have been there for a year and as you said they were invited in by the united states into vienna. this is an amendment that was devised to bring in from the former soviet union about 27 years ago. now it's been expanded to iran for christians and other minorities. this is very unusual, 99% of the cases in the past have gotten
12:55 am
in, i have spoken to the relocation agency, the highest jewish group that works with these people to pair them to come to the united states. they have relatives here, it doesn't make sense. i have been in contact with the administration as well they will not say anything to me either about what is going on. >> shannon: the state department said they couldn't comment, will continue to monitor it. thank you for joining us. coming up, the u.s. olympic team preparing to head to south korea, where going to tell you who else is going to liberty mutual stood with me when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.
