us senator from pennsylvania, bob casey, made that announce ment on friday. years, after his death, four years ago, congress decided to honor his contribution to the city. they passed a bill officially renaming 30th street station in gray's name. l bill was signed into law but amtrak failed to act until now >> meantime, amtrak is showing off its future fleet in philadelphia. at 30th street station, amtrak revealed a model of its next generation acela train. the train featuring a new paint job, will operate along the northeast corridor. amtrak says they'll feature one third more passenger seats than current acela trains as well as better amenities and smoother ride. >> this will be a luxury, very smooth trip in the future, on a new light wait train with luxury interior, which will have first class, business class on this train, the same as on the acela now. it will probably be slightly quicker journey. >> the new trains are set to be rolling down the tracks in 2021. >> well, friday was homecoming at bensalem high school. the bensalem owls took on council rock

there are critics, of course, and democratic senator bob casey is one. he will be speaking out against the president's plan in philadelphia today. he refers to the proposal as unfair and misguided, saying it would add to our deficit while slashing vital programs like medicaid and medicare to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. an anti-trump tax rally is scheduled for 11:30 this afternoon ahead of the president's 6:00 speech. we'll be keeping our eye on all the developments out of harrisburg and keep you updated along the way. >> thanks. >>> nbc10 will be in harrisburg for the president's town hall. you can look for the live reports starting this afternoon on nbc10 news at 4:00. >>> new from overnight in south philadelphia, a gunman is on the loose after shooting three people. it happened on south bonsell street before 11:00. police tell us the shooter used a large-caliber weapon and fired at least eight shots. surveillance images show two men running from the scene. police believe one is the gunman. all the victims are in the hospital listed in s

the democrat bob casey is up for reelection in 2018. do you think he's somebody who might actually be willing to vote for tax reform? >> i don't know. you'd have to talk to senator casey. look, i hope that we have bipartisan support. i don't know why our democratic colleagues would vote against a measure that lowers the tax burden on hard working families and makes our economy grow faster and more competitive. i think they should be with us. so far they have not shown any real interest in working with us. but the process is just beginning. we will go through the ordinary committee process, an open process. democrats will have every opportunity to offer amendments to try to influence this product. in the end i hope it's bipartisan. >> dana: i do think they've sort of dug in already. earlier this week senator schumer and warren held a press conference in which they said this plan is just tax cuts for the rich. same thing you get from republicans. are you vulnerable on that messaging? >> you know, one of the things i learned a long time ag

senator bob casey is spelling out how he disagrees with the proposal.he democrat said says the plan would raise taxes on middle class families and add to our deficit. >> this stuff doesn't work, folk. we know that. we've been sold this bill of good three or four times in my lifetime. let's not fall for it again. let's focus on the middle class. >> of course we at fox 29 will bring you the president's remarks life as they happen. >>> maintenance work at mandalay bay says he told hotel dispatchers to call police about a gunman opening fire before that shooter started firing. police say the gunman steven paddock shot hotel security guard through the door of his sweet six minutes before he shot into the crowd of those attending the concert. that account difference dramatically from the one police gave last week when they say paddock fired through the door of his room and injured the unarmed guard after shooting into the crowd. the company that owns mandalay bay has questioned the new timeline. meantime lawyers today filed the first lawsuit about the police

you've got bob casey and debbie st stabenow. >> if they don't get it done quickly, they're not goingne. this is the largest transfer of wealth from the middle class and working people to a privileged few in history. over time when that's revealed, this cannot stand of its own weight. second i think it's important to look at it that it's not just democrats and republicans. the republican party has to decide whether it still is the party of fiscal responsibility or are prepared to take the united states permanently above 100% debt to gdp. more importantly having been through a couple in congress, rather than dnr, you have to look at this regionally. this is an enormous wealth transfer from the northeast to upper midwest in california to the midwestern and southern states. >> if we lose the local and state tax deductions in the coastal state. >> what does that really mean? if you are a republican in new york or california or new jersey or upper midwest and you're going to vote for this and go to washington, i would pack permanently. because people are going to lose their sense of humor

and pat toomey, republican and bob casey, democrat. and put them in the room, the secretary, and don't come out onto you have a plan. and that type of solution. they are not alone, though. there are many in the halls of congress that represent the district where you grow up and live right now to cross the divide to come up with a workable solution. right, left and center around this measure. mitch mcconnell. leader mcconnell, please use these leadership save the affordable care act. and a better program for the country. the alexander murray plan, short-term affordability, increase flexibility, for what comes next. whether we call it fixing the aca, doesn't matter, perspective, whether it is a tax break or subsidy as long as we get people in the system. and in the long term. under our framework for getting healthcare right, any process must do three things, and accelerate. it is very precarious right now, i can tell you how many interactions we are having with 300,000 people, not all of them, a strong number of them. don't know if you c

bob casey/--d pennsylvania: i did not.the pentagon insists it kept congress informed of the operationthe white house says it notified congressional leaders in june about troops conducting counterterrorism duties in niger and cameroon. but some lawmakers say it wasn't enough. rep. ruben gallego/-d- armed services committee: we don't know exactly what happened both with sgt. johnson and we don't know what the conditions were. among the questions still lingering... how sergeant la david johnson was separated from his 12-member team as it was ambushed... his body not recovered until 48 hours later. rep. ruben gallego/-d- armed services committee: no matter where i was in iraq, we always had a head count. the fact that a u.s. american soldier went missing tells us a lot of things went wrong. sergeant johnson's widow speaking out on the lack of answers on a-b- c's good morning america.. myeshia johnson/wife of sgt. la david johnson: i don't know how he got killed, where he got killed or anything. i don't know that part.the ambush- also putting a spotlight on president trump's dealings with

then there is bob casey of pennsylvania. that is just some of the reaction this morning. we are talking about all of the major stories out of washington. the lines are your. mike is on the line for democrats or it. caller: i just want to ask those people in kentucky and places of aca,nature that have the how do they feel about what their president has done for them? host: how do you feel? caller: it's going to be terrible. have twounate not to deal with that. i can imagine a single parent with kids who need that care and don't know which way to turn. it's not going to be good and. host: where do you get through -- insurance? caller: through my employer. host: charlie, go ahead. isler: the health care issue an important issue. i don't think some people have mentioned this will take years for changes to be made. i would like to question one states saidited there with drawing from unesco. that might be because of their antivirus against israel. there is a lot of money going to israel. is hidden money that goes to military use. it is beyond belief. there is nott represent all

example, we have leaders on both sides of the aisle like senators pat toomey, a republican, and bob casey, a democrat, who i believe, can you imagine, have been in the room with secretary mike leavitt and secretary sylvia burwell and say don't come out until you have a plan next they would get a a plan d. we need that bipartisan, that type of solution. they are not alone though. there are many in the halls of congress, many that represent the district where you grew up and where you live right now who are ready and willing to cross the divide to come up with a workable solution. so let's see if congress can come together, right, left and center about this measure. leader mcconnell, , who i think is a terrific leader, please use these leadership skills, run the bill, save the affordable care act so that we can move on to it even better program for our country. the alexander-murray plan is aimed at the right targets, short-term affordability, increase flexibility, and the time and stability to transition to what comes next. whether you call it repeal and replace, whether you call it fixing

bob corker's stunning reflts lags about donald trump. it led to a furious response from the president. but virtual silence from the party's leaders. nbc's caseyt down with the speaker and asked about trump's attacks on his own party. listen. >> the president has regularly engaged in disputes with various members, bob corker, ben sas, is that helpful to your agenda? >> it's what he does. we've had our engage wants in the past too. i don't think it -- what i'm trying to get our members to do is just focus on doing our jobs. we're here elected to represent our constituents to advance our principles, pass solutions. that's what we're focused on. and i'm trying to get members not to get distract by these things. >> well, president trump may make it difficult for cockle republicans to do their jobs, it did he values -- he reminded the audience of what a great job he thinks he's doing. >> in the last ten months we have followed through on one promise after another. i didn't have a schedule, but if i did have a schedule, i would say we are substantially ahead of schedule. how times have changed, but you know what? now they're changing back again. jus

actually should probably start with casey, because, what a day, it will be for a capitol hill reporter, kasie, you have a day where the president is coming up on the hill, bob corke as willie and mike and i were saying yesterday, bob came in hot yesterday. >> reporter: that's an understatement. >> and then jeff flake delivered a speech on the senate floor that you said and many others said people would be remembering years from now. >> reporter: i think that's right, joe. i mean, look, this was -- this was a day, my head was spinning by the end of the day, because where we started all the way through to bob corker the president had just left capitol hill and suddenly i was listening in my ear to you know what we had playing and the words that jeff flake had for the president were incredibly serious, incredibly an attempt to put this in historical perspective and give sois to his frustration and, you know what he was seeing around and this was a guy who was incredibly well liked, well respected, incredibly conservative, with the most conservative voting records, but who owned the respect from his colleagues the game of eight, took political risks. i think th
