. >> kristen well ker and and kacie hill, who is getting her exercise side. you have the horror of what happens in syria, he is the only person in the administration, national security team, that is not mentioned russia's complicity in this. clearly that has not happened. >> that is right, in fact it was nikki hailey who had strong words about russia, but we heard strong words frnot from preside trump. he indicated that his view of assad has now changed. why is that significant? just several days ago the secretary of state said it is up to the syrian people to determine the feaith and future of assad. so are they considering something different here in the president is very clear that he is not going to tip his hand about the potential strategic options, but the pentagon is preparing a series of responses from the president. no word yet if they requested those options that could be available to him, but this is clearly a pressing national security problem as he prepares to hold that all important summit with the leader of china when he is expected to press on

>> kelly, thanks for that, and kacie, imt to want to go to he care in just a minute, but let's listen to this. not only does he plan to unveil a massive tax cut next week but i'm looking at the quote now. he believes the tax cuts will be bigger than any tax cut ever. understanding congress has been home for a couple weeks, will this come as a surprise to them? >> chris, it obviously depends on the context. if this is in the context of tax reform, i think that's potentially what had been expected, and i think you can certainly expect democrats to push back by saying that this tax cut, whatever it may be, they sort of argued that the basic republican framework for reforming the tax code amounts to big tax breaks for corporations and for individuals who are on the higher end of the income scale. so one question i think that we should try to focus on as he kind of unveils this plan is, is there more of a middle class tax cut than maybe we expect? there were some indications early on. i would say this was months ago before the transition, that it was possible that president trump, kind inf

>> kacie, keep us honest. kelly o., break down what we're expecting to hear roughly 30 minutes from now. we are being promised principles of tax reform, not necessarily the full details. >> reporter: the white house is just beginning to brief some of the key officials in washington on the plan, and that, of course, is just on the heels or to be able to push this out today. what we are told is there will be a reduction in the corporate tax rate and also changes that will affect the tax bill for individuals. that doesn't necessarily mean rate changes, but changes in the components of how we file our taxes that would, in effect, give people a lower liability for a tax bill. so in the end, that means more money in your pocket. all of these things have to be with a big caution, that this is a proposal from the white house. it is coming during the 100 days week, the leadup of all of the sort of trying to shine a light on the big direction the white house wants to take in the absence of legislative achievements. this

ca kacie, let's start with you. do they have to change the rules. >> he has said repeatedly over and over again gorsuch will be confirmed, and if that's going to happen at the end of the week, that will mean invoking the nuclear option. that kick-starts a complicated set of procedures on the senate floor. we're likely to see this reported out of the judiciary committee today. that means senator mcconnell tomorrow could begin closing the debate. it's called filing cloture in senate terminology. then that has to take a little bit of time before the rule says it will come back up for an actual vote. what you'll likely see in this filibuster is this 41 or potentially more democrats voting to sustain a filibuster, so essentially voting to keep talking, to keep debating, to keep going, to never get to a final confirmation vote. you'll see that on thursday, and that's the point at which mcconnell will have to make a final decision about whether he is using this nuclear option. if that's the case, you're going to see a seri

where are we on all that, kacie? >> reporte an incredibly busy we he on capitol hill, chris. of course, as you point out, the most pressing item on this long, and frankly, very kind of aggressive list of priorities between the budget continuing to fund the government, health care and tax reform is, of course, making sure that the doors of the government are still open come saturday when that funding will have expired. so this had been on a pretty good track. i mean, look, this is something that very often we've seen br k brinkmanship and partnership on capitol hill over these kinds of spending bills. that was not happening here in leadership on both the house and senate side. all my sources was talking to, republican, democrat, house, senate, everybody said they were basically on the same page working toward a basic ingredient. they were going to write full spending bills for some departments, others would have to continue on at their current levels of funding. then the president and his advisers said something more aggressively about this potential border wall, and that has

lauren kacie has your forecast, meisha watching the roads.ther yesterday gorgeous. >> absolutely stunning, i enjoyed it. looking outside, just dealing with a loft construction, one accident oath there, disable vehicle, we'll get to all of it in a minute. >> repeat performance the answer is no. >> that's why katie took off. >> yes, it was a warm day yesterday, getting taste of summer for the easter bunny and all of the little baby checks. 87 degrees in philadelphia, high temperature actually 3 degrees shy of the record yesterday. got close to record in ac at 88 degrees, if you were down the shore yesterday, you are loving life. 85 degrees. the high temperature in wildwood yesterday, because of the hot day, it is still extremely mild at this early hour. 65 degrees in philadelphia, 67 in wilmington, we have fallen back to the 50's in the lehigh valley, 56 degrees right now, so little cooler there. storm scan3 showing us mainly quiet conditions, couple of sprinkles trying to work their way into northern delaware, do have more in the way of shower

. >> and let me play a little bit of what jason said to kacie hunt. >> it doesn't appear that he complied with the law. >> that is a very careful statement, i know you're waiting for the possibility of the president to walk by, let's get your take away, this is as committees on both sides are trying to develop information, they have been accused of show walking their information, and here in the house they're just getting under way. >> that's right they are holding that rare bipartisan press conference. they asked for documents relating to his they said okay then, we'll just go on to the department of armynd defense to try to figure out the answers to our questions. he said it looks like general flin just didn't do what he was supposed to do and so there was no paper work included. i think we're potentially seeing the president walking this way. we'll keep an eye on it for you. but i think at the end of the day here, clearly there is increasing pressure on the white house to do more to try and help these committees figure out what they need for this investigation. they both said they play

>> and kacie, there is a meeting later on today with all the senators with the chairman of the joint chiefs, i believe. can you give me a little bit more insight about what they are expected to be hearing in that briefing and whether or not any lawmakers will be briefing us, the american public? >> reporter: well, katy, they are actually coming out of that meeting as we speak, and we have been talking to some of them here who have been expressing, you know, their concerns and feelings about what happened overnight in syria, what the trump administration did. we're here to brief all of the members of the u.s. senate and anyone who happens to be in town right now, the house of representatives already on their two-week recess. we have heard some division between members of congress, but for once, as you said, they don't necessarily divide strictly along partisan lines. there have been some democrats who said this is the right thing to do, republicans as well, and there have been a handful of republicans who really criticized the trump administration as well as democrats who say they wan

. >> you notice, that was casey, kacie mcdonnell, used to do traffic.inelle was out, so she was sitting in as the co-anchor. so he tweeted about his stop here around then posted it right after he left the set. >> and he said it was sold out when he was at club helium. >> club helium. >> wow. a surprise to a the low of people. but even to the family, "tmz" was saying that they new he had been suffering from leukemia, but thought he was getting better. then to have that happen. oh,. >> he was tweeting jokes. what, was it day before yesterday? >> eight tweet, now it has been since the lead, some people wondering team tweeted it out or they don't foe if he actually tweeted out. >> it was shocker. >> yes. >> at love people, jay ferrell, remember he was on the show, he said he had big influence, on s&l and everything, now doing stand up tours. he said he had a big influence on his life. a lot of people sharing stories, sounds like he was very real guy and helped a lot of people out. >> i know kevin loved him, kevin hart. he issued a long statement, matter of

plenty of time to figure out the i wantry kacies of copyright and oversight of the office after we make sure that the basic functions of government are able to continue. after 60 hours. even if we keep the government open, all we're doing is kicking the can down the road, not allowing mesh businesses or individuals to plan for the future. can you imagine if your family didn't know if you'd have a job or what salary you'd be at every few months. congressional salaries are exempt from government shutdowns, if they weren't, perhaps we'd be discussing the government shutdown before other federal workers are prevented coming to work. we have a continuing resolution, expires midnight on friday. those are the priority issues that the american people want taos focus on. when we deal with what's urgent, that will allow us the time and space for thoughtful consideration of copyright office oversight. we need to get past this bitter partisanship and this brinksmanship. even the rule we're considering today is problematic and partisan which is why i'm in such opposition. it doesn't allow the amendm

. >> kacie boy? i have to get off on the right side of the bed, otherwise i would be rolling over my wife. >> oh,. >> that's true. some people, you know, they're stuck to that side of the bed if they're in a committed relationship. >> that's right. >> it is dumb. i think it is a course -- tell you what, if i go to hotel or whatever with my wife i take the side of the bed that's closest to the door, the entrance, for defensive position. >> i agree. >> i like. that will so you get hurt first. >> when the terrorists come in i can protect. usually my wife is a human shield. i go on the other side of the bed. >> really? >> my kids, man, i make the monday. >> i that's true. >> ya? >> no, that's not how it should be. >> he can find somebody else. >> he does, he is holding her like this. >> even like when go to dinner isn't the man supposed to be sitting where he can see the door, not have your back to the door? >> well, yes. >> i'm very secure, i like to do, that you don't know specially say your a gambling

i think the activityists or the as voluntary kacy effort here's in the room by organizations represented in the room making sure we're having the conversations with the individuals in the leadership positions to make decisions or help make decisions. >> and i think as susan said, there are most of the major leadership positions within fda and usda have not been filled. so i think we'll see. but i certainly agree with your point that no one has done more to to change the way americans think about food in the last decade or more than mrs. obama. and it's hard to imagine someone playing that role because she played so well and sh h. such an -- had such an enormous ability to reach people in a way that wasn't perceived as lecturing them. >> i mean she's still going to be continuing on the issues. i think that even though she may not play as well to this administration and others, she still has a lot of sway with organizations and groups that can dhash can have influence. >> i don't think we should assume that a -- having a woman in place will automatically mean a smart policy. should we have
