senator hatch understands how our broken code makes it harder for american businesses of all sizes to compete and win in an increasingly competitive global economy. how it actually incentivizes our companies to shift operations and american jobs overseas. chairman hatch and colleagues on both sides of the aisle understand how our broken code makes it harder for middle-class families to succeed, how it depresses wages, weighs down job creation and crushes opportunity. it's time to fundamentally rethink our tax code to make taxes lower, simpler, and fairer for american families. now fortunately weech -- we hava once in a generation opportunity to do that. this morning's hearing in senate finance is a part of the wide ranging conversation to shift the economy into high gear after eight years of an obama economy that too often hurt the middle class and seemed to hardly work for anyone but the ultra wealthy. with lower taxes and a growing economy, jobs can come back from overseas and stay here. families can keep more money in their pockets to spend in the way they want to. and individuals

i want to thank chairman hatch. he and i put together the bipartisan chronic working group two years ago. and senators warner and isakson did a first-rate job of leading it. there's an awful lot of sweat equity put in by staff. i hope i don't mangle too many of these pronunciations, but a lot of staff worked on these issues while they were dealing with weddings. i guess we had three children born in the process. job changes. so big thanks to karen fisher, hanna hawkins, lay stucker, beth rainle and matt kazin my team. chairman hatch and his team really stepped up to work with us and all the senators, jay kosla, brett baker, jen kazowsky and the chronic care league, aaron dempsey and big thanks also to senators warner and isakson for lending us -- and i hope i don't mess these pronunciations up too much, mr. president. marvin figero and mr. president i close this portion of my remarks by saying that i think what happened last night while certainly not something everybody is talking about this evening is something tha

some of the statements made, senator hatch made a positive statement. that is encouraging to me. he's a member of the judiciary committee. it would be great to have senator hatch's support. mr. graham: thank you all. mr. durbin: thanks. trump's decision to rescind the program that shields young immigrants from deportation sparked protest outside the white house at around the country. protests also took place at the department of justice and trump international hotel on pennsylvania avenue in washington. it is estimated the obama era program has protected from deportation about 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the u.s. either parents. here are some of the demonstrators in washington. chanting] [booing] >> president trump met with lawmakers at the white house to talk about making changes to the tax code. the president also spoke briefly about ending the daca program. president trump: thank you very much geared i am -- very much. i pleased to be here with am majority leader senator mcconnell, house speaker paul ryan, and the two leaders of our tax-writing committees, chair

senator hatch? senator hatch: thank you, chairman. justice eid, welcome to the committee. we're happy to have you here and the debate over your nomination is about the kind of judge you will be. we want impartial judges that follow a fair process in making decisions. your critics want political judges who produce certain results by whatever means necessary. left wing groups, for example, can't stand it whenever a corporation wins, period. it's just almost always the case. one group cited a case before you in which a corporation won as a department and one in which a corporation won as a plaintiff. how terrible can it be? it's as if the facts or the law in each case don't matter at all. isn't a judge supposed to impartially interpret and apply the law to the facts no matter which side wins? justice eid: i agree with that and strongly believe in it. again, i have been a judge, it's been such an incredible privilege and a pleasure to serve the state of colorado for the last 11 1/2 years and if you look at my record, i have participated in almost 00 cases and have written almo

want to get ideas from democrats or does he just want democrats to buy in to the plan that brady and hatch will reveal? >> just by mere fact that he's been sitting down both yesterday and today with multiple members of the democrat party shows that he wants to have that conversation with them. i don't think you can make that any more clear than to have those ongoing conversations with multiple members of the democrat party. >> quick question on florida. how soon will the federal government be able to estimate any -- with any kind of precision, what kind of additional aid might be necessary to address the destruction in florida in terms of what congress may be presenting -- >> we're still in the recovery efforts right now and until we get further into the process it would be premature to put those estimates out there, particularly with precision. i would imagine that that takes us a good bit more time and once we have those numbers we'll let you know. >> thank you, sarah. i'd like to ask, the united

talk to me about senator orrin hatch as well. he has used quite interesting language about this.says it's a base for them to start dropping legislation. its guidance. how long -- how much is the plan going to change when they actually start to draft legislation? >> i have been speaking with lawmakers and aides all day. i have been pressing them, how are you going to pay for this? all of them right now don't have an answer. put inson that you question, senator orrin hatch is definitely going to be one of the key stakeholders in this debate. how they pay for it without to be a really grown big question that has to be answered. julia: maybe paul ryan can answer that as he takes the stand. let's listen to what he has to say. 1986 thathis dome in congress took the final vote on the last overhaul of our tax code. that long. after that vote resident reagan said americans would finally have a tax code they could be proud of. it was true then. but things look very different today don't they? of a source of pride our tax code has become a constant source of frustration. it's too big. it's

i want to echo what both you and chairman hatch said about the importance of chip. it's a critically important program and i'd like to present to my colleagues my good friend linda noblo who is the chief deputy director for the commonwealth agency or as we call them virginia d mass. we go back to the days when bob casey addressed me as his excellency the governor. linda at that point was director of the division of maternal and child health services. our chip program back in the early 2000s was frankly a dra dreadf dreadful disaster. we were sending millions back because we didn't sign up enough children. we came in and with linda's help make it a much easier process to get through the sign-up process. turned a multi-page application into a single page application process. linda and i traveled the state at clinics and other gatherings. because i've heard from a lot of good folks at dmass, we went from the bottom of the peril to where we signed up our eligible children. we were recognized as one of the most effective chip programs in the country. she's gone on to ser

hatch, president pro tempore. the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: congress has a number of pressing issues to address in the coming days. there are three critically important things before us that need to be done very quickly: pass disaster relief legislation to allow us to rebuild from harvey and prepare for future disasters headed our way, like irma. avoid a default, and of course keep the government funded. these are the president's immediate priorities. these are my immediate priorities and they are critically important to establishing credibility and stability, as our country continues to recover from one record-setting storm and prepare for yet another. harvey has already unleashed more rain than any other single storm recorded in the continental united states. irma has already forced the entire state of florida into a state of emergency. i'd like to repeat two quotes i shared yesterday that are even more relevant now, given the further approach of irma. this is the president's budget director. given the need for additional spending

wyden and , hatch, boehner and pelosi, we put that package before.eporter: from is a question -- indiscernible] >> what is the position that you spoke so forcibly? what about that? ms. pelosi: i don't know. coincidence that you have the con expire tore torl mind. [laughter] reporter: some people thought there might be more conversation after gabby giffords and steve scalise and here we are and legislation on the floor next week. ms. pelosi: you are putting it -- reporter: that is what we are hearing. ms. pelosi: i was very proud of the common sense of our members injected into that discussion when they are calling it for hunters and sportsmen. they don't need what bill puts forth. i don't think they are advocating that at all hunters and sportsmen. but i never even thought of that. reporter: there is a cultural war against the nfl and the president's comments since last friday and continued every single day. ms. pelosi: the president is the deflector in the chief. any time he is going to lose until alabama, whatever it is, he is going to divert atten

senator hatch observed that if daca was rescinded, it would be an action that would further complicate a system in a serious need of permanent and legislative solution. he was referring then, mr. speaker, to comprehensive immigration reform. like the president, i long advocated for tougher enforcement, orrin hatch said, of our existing immigration laws. but we also need a workable method for those who entered our country unlawfully as children through no fault of their own. and who have built their lives here. that solution must come from congress. and i agree that that decision must come from congress. rush limbaugh said, and i don't usually agree with statements that mr. limbaugh makes, nobody is going to win anything by deporting a bunch of kids that we let in, whoever did or ba ma, whatever if we can't get strict enforcement of existing immigration law, he went on to say, then the dreamer thing may be an acceptable payoff, he said. i don't think this is a payoff, this is respond -- respond, that's why the overwhelming majority of the american people support the dream act. as i said

senator hatch: thank you, senator. we're counting on you doing really good job over there in the house. was here 'll do t i in 1986 when we did that massive tax reform and i have to say we reaped great benefits from it w n because the economy was turned around, we went forward like never before, and we intend to do that this time as well. proud of our members of the house and the work they are doing in this area, for our speaker, our chairman, and others as well who are working in the house to try and because the economy was bring a bill through that will make a real difference. i'm very proud of our leader in the senate and of course our finance committee in the senate of people working together. i hope we can bring democrats and republicans together in the best interest of this country. we're going to do it. we're tired of things going the way they are going. we're going to try to turn this mess around. i hope we'll have support from all of our senators and congresspeople on both sides of the aisle to the benefit of

. >> i want to welcome senator hatch. many of you know she was one of the first people to try with the gmac many years ago. he agrees with myself and other members that we want to come up with a solution to the problem. we want to get a large coalition of people were willing to not necessarily look to the far right left who seem as about as interested in keeping the problem going in solving it, i think he has more depth and knowledge than anybody on capitol hill and were proud that he signed on as an original cosponsor. >> i'm tired of this problem. i think we have millions of brilliant young people. we need a permanent solution to this problem and not just keep kicking it down the road. i think we need a permanent solution since this was rescinded. i commended working quickly towards that in the legislation to fix the problem that really exist in so much legal uncertainty. frankly, these are young people who have a real ability to contribute to our society. and in many cases their educated bias, in many cases they don't

hatch: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. hatch: i ask unanimous consent the quorum call be -- the presiding officer: without objection. mr. hatch: mr. president, before we adjourn for recess, i came to this lectern to issue a call for comity, cooperation, and compromise. my message that day was simple. if we're serious about legislating, truly committed to doing the work the american people sent us here to do, then we must look beyond the horizon of our differences and find common grounds. since january, this congress has been its own worst enemy. and it's been marred in the muck of its own making, bogged down by partisan squabbles and ripped by gridlock. the likes of which i have never seen in all my years of public service. i wish i could say the situation across the country is better, but sadly it isn't. the polarization we see here in the senate is on the -- is only the indicative of the division we see all around the nation. the events of august threw that div

children's health insurance program is a bipartisan program with as passed in 1997 senator hatch and senator ted bothdy, since passed away, combining and what they recognized, children who lacked whose families made too much to qualify for nation's other low income safety net for the poor and they expanded the program, way.did it in a different there is a originally a capped a toment states based on low income and uninsured children in the states. that formula has been tweaked over time, but helped rate in the rance 5% try from 15% in 1997 to for children, cut insurance by more irds and states have flexibility than medicaid to charge copays and premiums per to the emergency room for nonemergency condition. t's been a popular program, renewod bipartisan basis 1997.ple times since host: about nine million enrolled in the program. talk about the spending side, and has the figure been what do states do with that it?y once they get guest: well, states have a couple options. in es can use the money their medicaid program to expand and bility up or take it create entirely separate health ru

even though octopuses died within days of the babies hatching they're not particularly social but they have the version of oxytocin so similar to ours and every neurotransmitter that we have it is associated with every emotion every one of those has been found in every single species as scientists have never seen. so it is reasonable to expect even those that are really different from us don't have the same thoughts and feelings. what do you dream about at night? in the laboratory we have determined in reno from very different ways of isolating what is going on in their brain and octopus can dream of a delicious fish we don't know for sure that they dream but i am sure the animals have thoughts and feelings. it is a dangerous fallacy to believe that they don't. .

in the short run, i could care less about budget deficits all i want is growth now, orrin hatch, greatic. i got to go down there, though, have to have some therapy about the 15% corporate tax rate we'll have a therapy session. >> you think it's doable >> absolutely. look, president trump keeps saying it. steven mnuchin keeps saying it i call mnuchin the imposter of growth there are two main numbers in this i want to reduce this whole tax plan to two numbers. 3 and 15 okay 3 is the growth rate that will be plugged in as they reject the cbo estimates. and 15%, if you give me 16% or 17%, is going to be the corporate tax rate we're the highest -- china, remember them, 15% corporate tax rate why shouldn't we be able to? of course we can because the growth pays for all of it. and orrin's -- we need a refresher course we're going to have some supply side therapy i'm going to go in, see him, with my buddy, steve moore. >> one more thing, the president said this week, yeah, middle class gets relief but the rich may not. in fact, they may end up paying more. >> yeah. they won't don't obsess abou

utah senator and senate finance committee chairman orrin hatch is at best. ted cruz will join us this morning along with washington congresswoman and conference chair, cathy mcmorris rogers is here. singer-songwriter clint back country and black is here. taken it off defeating incumbent senator luke are strange in the republican runoff yesterday. the senate seat vacated by attorney general jeff sessions. roy moore's victory comes despite being outspent by a margin of 10-1 who is backed as senate majority leader mitch mcconnell of president trump. moore said the facts most often for from working with this administration. >> we can support the president. don't let anyone in the press think that because he supported my president that i do not support him and support his agenda. maria: the president applauded warne's primary win treating this yesterday. congratulations to poor is when an alabama. both are strange started way back in ran a good race. roy wanted -- what is this? when in december. congressmen of carolina who chairs the republican senate committee.

senator hatch: that would be fine. senator wanted: colleagues, nobody has to buy a letter just because it is the last car on the lot. this trumpcare bill is a health care lemon, a disaster in the making. the last -- the fact that it is the last republican repeal bill standing does not make it ok. it's going to be a nightmare for tens of millions of americans, and it makes a mockery of the president's promise of better insurance for everybody at lower cost. the bill sponsors are not even waiting for the official facts and figures from the independent scores keepers. version after version of this bill floating around, and the pork parade is up and running. the process that has brought the bill to the drink of passage would be laughable if the well-being of tens of millions of americans was not in the balance. blow the whistle on a few key points at the outset. first off, the american people do not want this bill. in the last few days, the committee has received more than 25,000 comments from people who want it stopped. o

i want to echo what you and senator hatch said about the importance of c.h.i.p. i would like to present to my colleagues my good friend linda navlo, she is with the department of medical assistance services. linda and i go back to the days when bob casey was addressing me as his excellency, the governor. and linda at that point was director of division of maternal and child health services. our c.h.i.p program back in the early 2000s was, frankly, a dreadful disaster. we were literally sending tens of millions of dollars back to the federal government because we didn't appropriately sign up our eligible children. we came in and with linda's great help turned that program around, make it a much easier process to get through the sign-up process. turned a multi-page application into a single page application process. linda and i traveled the state at clinics and other gatherings and because of her good work and the work of a lot of folks we went from one of the bottom of the barrels to where we signed up 98 pearls of our eligible children. kaiser foundation recogniz

. >>> in washington, senator orrin hatch doubts that the 15% corporate tax rate sought by h is the chair of realistic. the senate finance committee and one of the so-called big six congressional and white house officials leading the effort on tax reform. he admits that overhauling the tax code is much harder than overhauling health care. >> it requires a lot of intellectual acumen to be able to handle these matters. plus there's a lot of differences, a lot of difference of opinion of various aspects of the code. democrats want more revenue so they can spend more money. republicans want less revenue so we can bolster and increase the economy and get more jobs and opportunities for people. you know, those two philosophies seem to collide all the time in this particular area. >> despite those differences, senator hatch said he believes tax reform can get done this year. >>> congress is also keeping a closer watch over silicon valley. this week, lawmakers said they are likely to call for public hearings to examine whether facebook and other social media companies were used by foreign governm

a very prominent -- and then i hear orrin hatch and another group say, health care and health care hadx cut has to be easier? it's a lot harder to get done then to health care, and that did not go well. after this. >> do you consider it $131,000 among the highest in that those who will not get a tax cut? >> i certainly do not, and i do believe anyone does. we are unified around a very strong middle class. tax cuts, i want to lower the rates at every level so people can keep more of what they earned. >> neil: that was interesting. house ways and mean committee member, he wants tax cuts for everyone. president trump has said everyone but the rich, he wants to keep them out. the markets are seeming to lunch on this. the rich, which would be a lot of them, do not get a tax cut. presumably, they're getting big corporate tax cuts and the like. you're off to the races, markets are off to the races and record records. it is setting up an intriguing battle on capitol hill. not so much between democrats and republicans, but between republican and republicans. you know, you saw a lot of this comi

paul ryan today and orrin hatch both coming out and making it clear in public statements that they do not want president trump to do anything to end daca , and they think congress needs to make a legislative change to address the program. both statements coming out of this time are quite interesting. that follows a letter last night from a number of ceos in the tech industry also saying this would be the wrong move. obviously, the white house under a lot of pressure in public to stand firm. the presidentoned is meeting with representatives of disaster relief organizations in the oval office. we are getting some headlines from that meeting right now. the president designating sunday a day of prayer. early this morning, he issued a tweet saying he is returning to texas tomorrow. what do we know about where he might go and what he might do? >> we know he's going to houston, which was avidly flooded by the hurricane. he may also go to part of louisiana. we are not sure where yet. goingnot know what he is to be doing in houston. on his first trip, he went while the storm is really over tex

the good news is the finance committee chairman, orrin hatch of utah, as ranking member ron wyden, have reached bipartisan agreement on a 5-year reauthorization of the program. the bad news, instead of preserving health care for low-income children and women, senate republican leadership seems more interested in the next 12 days calling a different topic on a different issue, bill, altogether, graham cassidy bill, according to health insurance, bill would take health insurance coverage away from millions of americans including 1 million in the state of illinois. from where i am sitting reauthorizing the chip program is a priority. not only serve the 9 million children and pregnant women across the country but 350,000 in my state. there is another bill we need to reauthorize, funding of community health centers. like chip funding for community health centers expires at the end of this month, just a few days. community health centers have enjoyed decades of broad bipartisan support. 10,000 community health centers across the country serve 26 million americans. community health centers ser

chairman hatch and ranking member wyden, again in a bipartisan action are having a hearing on chip today in the finance committee. that should be another matter of immediate priority for this senate. and of course, as the people of florida brace for hurricane irma and the people of puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands live through it now, the senate must be prepared to quickly respond to that storm just as we're doing with harvey. we also have to take into account some of the other disasters that are occurring in states like washington, oregon, california, montana. wildfires are raging out of control. they, too, will need disaster assistance. because of the immediate and strong impact of harvey and it seems irma, we shouldn't forget that our friends in the west will need disaster relief and need it soon as well. and so, mr. president, the deal we reached with republican leaders and president trump yesterday will allow congress to work on all of these important items this month and in the following months without a looming specter -- spector of a shutdown or default on our debt. and it

the predators although as us was by those it all the wasps attack the us a short while later they hatch and multiply until there are no more pest eggs in the field. the small predatory wasps and released onto huge fields their sphere of action is so small that they quickly run out of eggs in which they could multiply further most of them die the mobile sugarcane boar on the other hand has no problem flying from field to field in this landscape of endless sugarcane fields there are always sugarcane burra population somewhere just waiting for the next opportunity to attack. when the sugarcane burra returns the starting population of the parasitic wasp is too small to protect the plantation effectively and that's why we breathe this parasite in the lab and send it to farmers in large quantities they can then deploy it at the right time and in the correct goals to combat the past effectively. these are the eggs that are applied in the fields. every gram of the pound it contains thirty six thousand eggs. a clever trick makes the mass production of these ready to use wasps possible. normally

hatch: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. hatch: mr. president, i have one request for a committee to meet during today's session of the senate. they have the approval of the majority and minority leader. the presiding officer: duly noted. mr. hatch: mr. president, i rise today to return to the topic of antitrust. when i last spoke on this matter, the debate was already simmering, albeit mostly on the left. in the time since, controversy in both our markets and our politics has kept it at the fore. handled prudently, that can be a good thing. i say we had this discussion. i think it's important. heavens, i'll even try to do my part to make it a little more fun, but i do have my concerns that the topic of antitrust policy is still more enthusiastically invoked than deliberately considered. i'm concerned that it is still undermined by the same old easy retreats to the right and to the left. that may be typical of issues here in washington, but on no issue can we afford it less, because as you see, especially in antitrust policy, it's crit

orrin hatch and relatively right wing republicans have said the same thing. i think it would be embarrassed to be overruled and what matters is showing he se power. not being humiliated. maybe he'll hold his fire. >> you mentioned the republican reaction, president trump as katherine is saying, he is under pressure from republicans not to end the daca program. there is what ryan had to say. >> there's a lot in the news right now that the president might be looking at pulling back daca. the dreamers act. >> yeah, i actually don't think he should do that. and i believe that is something that congress has to fix. >> and arizona senator jeff flake, he has been a trump critic of late. he tweeted, congress needs to take immediate action to protect daca kids, orrin hatch, care of the powerful finance committee said i've urged the president to the to rescind daca, an action that would further complicate a system in serious need of a legislative solution. what paul ryan is saying he wants congress to address this the position is barack obama did this, no president sho

is the distance between you and the speaker and senator hatch? >> well, we have had many discussions about how to go forward. we have this emergency created by harvey and irma, which must be addressed this week. we have the debt ceiling expiring because there's more borrowing, the secretary of the treasury needs to do than the current debt ceiling allows him. if this is this is a definition emergency i don't know what is your in the meeting down at the white house as i indicated the president agreed with senator schumer and congresswoman pelosi to do a three month cr, and a debt ceiling introduced him and that's what i will be offering based on the president's decision to the bill. and then we will try to get 60 votes and move forward. >> were you surprised that the president cited with democrats against the longer-term measure? >> look, the presiden the presik for himself, but he's feeling was that we needed to come together, to not create a picture of divisiveness at a time of genuine national crisis. and that was the rationale. unconfident for

senator hatch's office gave us this statement. congress should right now focus on delivering a strong pro growth tax reform plan for the american people. tax reform is an area where there is great unity. then we should turn back to health care and working to address the failures of obamacare. so he suggested the goal to have hatch reform done by the end of this calendar year. it's worth pointing out, though, this is pretty difficult to accomplish. sweeping tax code rewrite, that hasn't happened since 1986, tax overhaul is complex. they touch almost every aspect of the economy. one big step that has to happen before any of these changes can be put into place, congress must first agree on a fiscal 2018 budget. this is the easiest way for tax changes to be passed on just a party line vote without democratic support. now, from what we know today, tax rates could decrease for most with one notable exception. so according to reports, the rate for the bottom tax bracket for individuals would increase to 12% from 10% but at the same time,

the hatch act looks at whether someone in the executive branch like the fbi director uses position ore in a u.s. election, and the third is investigation by the department of justice and their inspector general. that's the internal watchdog and they're looking at whether the fbi director went outside the chain of command, colored outside the lines, when he made that public statement in july of 2016, but the clinton e-mails that he would recommend against criminal charges, and then also the reopening of the investigation in october. late october of 2016 just before the election, david. david: then there was also his public testimony under oath that seemed to be contradicted by the facts? reporter: well, the white house made a big play today and also yesterday about comey, they allege, giving misleading or instint testimony to congress, and that relates to a recent development, senators graham and grassley who sit on the senate judiciary committee, they have been investigating comey's actions and the timing of decision in the clinton e-mail case and transcripts came to light that certai

even though octopuses die as their babies are hatching, within moments of the babies hatching or days, even though they are not particularly social animals, they have a version of ours.in so similar to every neurotransmitter that we have, no transmitters associated with every emotion, every one of those has been found in every single species scientists have ever looked at. it is reasonable to expect that other animals, even those who are different from us, still have lots and feelings. they may not be the same thoughts and feelings you and i have. i am sure they are not. what do you dream about? i might to dream about the thing i am working on. laboratory,rks in a we have determined dreams about running mazes. we know this. from various different ways of isolating what is going on in their brain. an octopus may dream of a religious fish or meeting with another octopus. or the journey he or she went on the day before. don't know for sure they dream. but i am sure they have thoughts and feelings. feelings. it is a dangerous fallacy to behave as if they do not. -- newhampshire possible h

senator hatch told us in june that it was unlikely that we will get a 15% corporate tax rate.erything together, hatch and brady and the republicans in congress said it's going to be 20 and 25%. now take a look at president trump, he wants 15% but his own treasury secretary earlier this week that will be very difficult to do. paul ryan has said it's going to be around 22.5% but here is what secretary mnuchin actually said about what tax reform is going to do, reiterating the president's promise of a middle-class tax cut being the priority. >> what i can assure you is if the top right does come down it will be offset by deductions so that there's not a tax cut for the rich specially in the high -- high cost states. adam: trish, if you wanted to put money on this, we are going to have a corporate tax rate between 20 and 25%. even the president said ideally 15%, that's what he said last week and this week he said around 15%. this has to be 15% is a negotiating standpoint from the administration. trish: i hear that. that's fine. it's a good place to start and if we wind up at 20 or

let's start with senator hatch. >> thank you, mister chairman. the meal dear habitat conservation and restoration act, this particular legislation would streamline important vegetation management projects to conserve and restore the habitat of sage grass and meal dear in a way that carries added benefit of reducing fuel loads for catastrophic wildfires. i was eager to join senator heinrich in introducing this legislation because across the west especially in our home states of utah and new mexico and elsewhere, wildlife populations are suffering from dangerous encroachment of invasive pinyon and juniper trees. what is worse, these burgeoning forests increase risk of wildfire, threatening homes, property and human lives because sage grass and meal dear share similar habitats, senator heinrich and i worked to create a solution that would restore sagebrush habitat and support these iconic western species. as the fish and wildlife service would agree, invasion of pinyon and juniper trees destroys sagebrush habitat and provides artificial nesting site

orrin hatch was outraged with what happened. a lot of people were. that he turned to him in that room and said, i'm with you guys on that. >> martha: what >> what happened was, it had earlier, you know why? two hurricanes. one thing that was unpredicted, hurricane harvey, now hurricane irma. if the technology that people use now to apply for fema aid is so much faster. we didn't have iphones when we had katrina. now people are using their smartphones to fill out their aid relief, so that money is going through the door so much faster that they are concerned -- fema, the federal emergency management administration -- concerned they will run out of money this weekend for hurricane aid. >> martha: the president had said 15% on the corporate tax rate many times. today, you said you don't think that will happen. >> here and i have talked about that many times. he said, get that as little as he unsolicited -- as low as he, that's what were working on. 15 is the goal that he has set out. we have to make sure the numbers work out. this is the budget process.

mad money tonight at 6:00 p.m. >>> a key interview, orrin hatch on the framework for tax reform with taking you to the president, making comments about the london terror attack today. he's already tweeted this morning, in the wake of that attack, about the travel ban here in the united states, saying the travel ban should be far larger, tougher and more specific but stupidly that would not be politically correct we're getting that tape from the pool when it runs, we'll get it to you. welcome back to "squawk on the street." dow is up 22 points as we have been watching a number of narratives buffett the markets north korean missile launch yesterday. this attack in london and, david, macro data that hasn't been all strong. retail sales in industrial production did disappoint. >> let's get to our road map this morning starts with the markets. dow hitting another record high, shrugging off uncertainty from another north korean missile launch and that terrorist attack apparently in london and actually on that subject, let's go now to the president. >> it is a terrible thing. just keeps goi

man we will turn to you now. >> good afternoon, chairman hatch.his nation has made enormous progress in increasing the number of people who have health care and moving healthcare to a system that provides greater value with lower total cost but we still have a long way to go in virtually every major healthcare provider and plan association in consumer group from the ama and american hospital association and the american cancer society and the american academy of pediatricians, those are just some in the a category have voiced opposition to this bill. none of these groups however would say there isn't a need for ongoing reforms and improvements in our healthcare system. graham cassidy however would inevitably take a step back in a reckless and dangerous matter. it would create chaos and uncertainty, new levels of marketplace instability, higher premiums and out-of-pocket costs for many and increase instability throughout our system. sorry, my notes are off. it would also and probably most significantly take away the financthefinancial resources and
