history has any state attempts to carry out so many executions in such a short period of time. >> there were eight executions total that were originally planned. four so far have received stays. the state of arkansas has met legal challenges to the rapid pace of executions and has been able to move forward with three now. the next is scheduled for thursday. >> it looks like california prisoner executions here in this state on hold for at least another few months. the department of corrections is delay new regulations for lethal injexz until late august. the original deadline was this week, and the last time an inmate was executed on death row, not since 2006. >> alameda county leaders will educate immigrants on their rights. it includes an update on the current immigration legislation. >> president trump may be backing away from a key campaign

promise, that wall along the mexican border. >> and scott mcgrew, time is running out to get the wall into the budget. >> it is. that's our budget, sam. we'll pay for the wall, not mexico. that wall, which could cost as much as $25 billion, has become a real sticking point in the budget. republicans say we don't have the money. democrat say we don't need it. and predictions say if the wall is in the budget, it won't pass. and the government will have to shut down. there have been several hints from the white house, both in public and in private, the president trump is willing to compromise. time is tight. the deadline to either approve a budget or at least some kind of temporary fix, is friday. president trump's first 100 days come to a close on saturday. president trump will deliver the keynote speech today at the day of rem ceremony marking the holocaust. presidents routinely make that speech. the trump administration has had notable trouble addressing

issues surrounding the holocaust. >> the two candidates for french president attended the memorial for the french police officer who was shot on thursday. the islamic state has claimed responsibility. president trump has hinted strongly he supports populist candidate marine le pen and has tweeted that the terror attack would affect the elections in france. in an interview with the asosiated press on sunday, he said she's the strongest on borders and the strongest on what's been going on in france. terror experts say in that sense, the islamic state would also like to see le pen win. >> and secretary of state steve mnuchin made an appearance at monday's white house briefing where he hinted the big tax reform bill that trump administration promises to reveal will come tomorrow. we believe the white house will try to cut corporate tax in half, though it's not clear how the president will make up for

lost tax revenue. if he doesn't, the u.s. deficit will balloon. mnuchin also said he would like to make taxes simple so you can fill out your tax return on the back of a post card instead of this long 1040. that sounds good, but keep in mind, all of these extra spaces on a tax return are deductions, the complexity is the stuff that saves you money. a more simple tax return hints at a tax return with fewer deductions. we'll find out tomorrow. >> i was going to say, my penmanship will get very tiny to fill in the post for all the deductions. thank you very much, scott. scott examines our president's tweets, executive orders and speeches every morning. he love uz to hear from you. you can share your thoughts with him on twitter. @scottmcgrew. >> here's something a lot of us have seen firsthand. rascally bears back at it again in lake tahoe. this is video from the south lake tahoe fire department, and a wobbly camera moved very
