effort to get it turned back on is taking on new urgency after deaths of eight people at a senior citizens home. >> president trump is in florida. as you can see from the run down on the side of the screen this is one of the big stories at 6:30 there we are there for you 100 percent. i'll be back here numerous times. this is a state that i know very well as you understand and these are special, special people and we love 'em. >> president trump visited naples and fort myers this afternoon two of the hardest hit areas in florida irma devastated parts of the state left millions without power and caused at least 25 deaths. fox's joel waldman picks up the story. >> reporter: here in the hard hit florida keys, more and more emergency supplies are arriving but the recovery effort remains slow as entire neighborhoods were completely wiped out. >> it's going way ahead of schedule, weeks ahead of schedule and much of it, most of it i guess outside of the keys where we have a very special problem but

working hard on that. >> reporter: president trump in florida thursday, visiting the naples fort myers area surveying irma damage and visiting with survivors. president trump noting that an army of power repair crews are making progress. >> there are more electrical people in this state i think than ever accumulated anywhere in the world. from all over the country they came. midday thursday 25 percent of customers across florida are still without power. that includes a number of nursing homes across the state and some areas rescue crews are now checking in on seniors and helping residents without air conditioning relocate. police meanwhile are looking into a hollywood florida nursing home where eight patients died under sweltering conditions, a criminal probe continues into those deaths. >> they assured me that this is a hurricane shelter. your mother will have the best care. >> reporter: down in the hard hit florida keys the national guard is

here? >> reporter: have you guys ever seen that movie the hangover. >> yes. [laughter] >> one, two and three. >> yeah. >> reporter: they're all kind of standing around the elevator in the morning and they look at each other and they say, what happened last night? [laughter] >> reporter: that's a little bit about what was going on today from all sectors of d.c. now, nancy pelosi and chuck schumer came out of that dinner that we will talked abou --we talked about last nigt the white house and their version of it was we have a deal on daca, we are going to bolster the defenses along the u.s.-mexico border and oh, by the way, we're not going to build the wall. almost immediately for the white house side, a completely different version of reality of what they talked about. from sara huckabee sanders first saying that there was no de

this morning and then even in the president's own tweets, this kind of flip side of the coin. on the one hand saying who would want to throw these daca recipients out of the country and then on the other talking about the wall all caps in another series of tweets. so, this is what we were left with. that sets the stage for what went on at the capitol this morning. first nancy pelosi, then paul ryan. paul ryan was out there to talk about some other things. nobody was there to ask him about those other things. this was the back and forth that we heard this morning. >> that's why this was not a negotiation, these are discussions understanding people's positions. >> well, i'm not here to speak about what the president understands. but i -- you know, i do believe that there is an understanding that down the road there is an eventual path to citizenship in the dream act and that overwhelmingly the american people support that. >> reporter: well, this is what we know

conservatives on the republican side hard liners when it comes to immigration, they are not happy about what they are hearing came out of that meeting last night. breitbart news took the extraordinary step of running a story labeled amnesty don. aimed right at the president for his [inaudible] others in congress have more measured responses. representative steve king said that the president was in danger of blowing up his own base. this is strong language. we talked about this last night, shawn and jim. the conservatives who have been looking at that are very concerned that the president is going to cut some deal here and leave them in the dust, essentially turn his back on the things he had been promising his own constituent base and they are very concerned about losing support in their own wing of the party over this a t

happy about what they're hearing. >> hey, fitz i know that this is a serious issue we're going to continue to follow but you started this off with the reference to the hangover movies. we were wondering out of the three of them, who would come out with the face tattoo? [laughter] >> reporter: that would have to be chuck schumer. >> absolutely it would be.

got to get moving soon. >> absolutely. we're saying we need a bill on the desk of the president by thanksgiving, tax cuts especially for our middle class. and our hard working small business owners. >> so far it seems we've heard people saying they're trying to get people riled up about it. before they actually reveal some of the details of this plan. you miss -- you mentioned tax cuts for the middle class. what else do you think that the american people want to see from this. >> exactly these two items. it's tax cuts for the middle class and tax cuts for our small businesses owners. you know, the small business owners represent 29 million of them across the country employing 56 million people. that's 85 million people across this country that depend on the success of small business. >> we have been talking about bipartisanship on many different issues and one discrepancy we've heard is that president trump wants a 15 percent tax rate for corporations. looks like congress says we could do 20, we're not sure about 15. if it goes to a

that something you can stand behind or are you saying 15 or nothing. >> oh, no, no, it's absolutely -- let's go as low as we can go. 15 percent is obviously what we're advocating for. we continue to push for that along with the president but if we get to 17, 18, 20 percent that's better than where we are today. >> alfredo, we've seen the president reach across the aisle, we were talking about this whole idea of bipartisanship. how important is that as we push forward to actually get a plan passed here? >> look, i think it's very refresh to go have bipartisan ship being introduced in d.c. at this point. when we have 85 million hard working americans both employers and employees of small business owners dependent on the success of that small business, if it's bipartisanship that's going to be required to get a deal done, let's get it do and. >> you mentioned a lot about small businesses and you're right that it's a very important facet of the american economy. there are people out there say we're fine with small businesses getting tax cuts but i don't want to see the big corporations, i don't think they should get the same treatment. what's your

that mind-set. >> when you look at broader tax reform corporations are a big part of our economy. we need to be competitive across the world. we aren't there today. so, we do need to do cuts for our larger corporations as well. but you know, right now we're here to talk about our small business owners because they don't have the lobbyists on k street that our large corporations in this country do. >> you're going out on a bus tour, right, there's a big push on your end to advance this cause, right. >> absolutely. in fact, the tour -- already the bus is already in place here in washington. we have a rally -- excuse me a press event going on tomorrow at 9:30, tax cuts now.com is a petition actually where we have folks pushing to have that tax cut immediately. >> that's the plug we were waiting for . >> [laughter] >> you got to get the plugs in alfredo. >> you mean the tax cuts now.com plug. >> there you go alfredo. way to get it in. you're experienced in this. >> thank you. >> we appreciate it. >> appreciate it. >> in addition to alfredo the

the road and hit 13 or so states to push this plan. >> looking for the big signature legislation. this is one you may get some bipartisan support for. >> let's talk about the weather. most of us could get behind the nice weather we had today. not too bad sue palka. >> ♪ >> yes, jim its great weather. >> look over here. >> there's sue and you can see some clouds out there right now. >> sue, i know you can't hear us but can't hear your microphone. we'll try to go back to sue maybe when we come back. >> we talk to the county executive from prince george's county live from south korea. interesting time to be there. we'll tell you why he's there after this. >> ♪ is

it's an eventful place to be in south korea after the news we just heard of a missile launch over there. >> you know, it is. i have to tell you though people are going about their regular course of business. we've been talking to the mayors of several towns here, cities and pretty much they've gotten used to the tension between north and south korea and they're going about their regular business. >> i think it's fascinating to be able to see you you and talk to you. we have no idea. we would think there might be a little more tension or chaos there but everybody seems very calm especially the folks behind you. [laughter] >> yeah, they are. i mean, i was meeting with the mayor yesterday right next to seoul and we're close to, you know, north korea and we talked about the -- we were talking about in the united states, our education system, healthcare, the one thing they have mentioned over and over again is their fear that the trade

administration is putting in place may have an impact on -- on them. and actually they talked about daca. >> wow. >> well, because a number of their students are -- number of their students come over to america, gotten educated there and started in high school and in college and now are fearful they won't be able to work because they won't be able to get through the process. so, it was interesting those issues were brought up. >> all right, so let's talk about why you're there in the first place because obviously you know, we get that perspective from you but you're there for a reason right now. >> right. we brought about eight businesses with us and the idea is to introduce what we're doing in prince george's county to -- to three cities in south korea and we also brought a representative from the university of maryland which is a top tier research institution and so interest is in cyber security, high tech and eduti

great site in prince george's county and we've been saying that. >> all right, prince george's county executive rushern baker thanks for joining us live from south korea. >> stay safe. >> we appreciate it. >> interesting to hear the perspective or see him, you know, within an hour or so of this breaking news happening of us reporting it to actually see what's going on. >> and everybody is just going about their business which is striking but i guess that's the life in which you live now. >> it is. have you heard about this? an 11-year-old from northern virginia he's earning his allowance in a really unique way this week. in fact he's going to be mowing the lawn at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. 5 at 6:30 will be right back. >> ♪
