that is the goal of our country. so now, suddenly the general assembly wants to have a hearing to ban nuclear weapons. as a mom, as a daughter, there is nothing i want more for my family than a world with no nuclear weapons. but we have to be realistic. is there anyone that believes that north korea would agree to a ban on nuclear weapons? the general assembly would go through in good faith trying to do something, but north korea would be the one cheering and all of us and the people we represent would be the ones at risk. we have always said the united states thinks it is important to defend the citizens of our country, just as important to defend our friends, our allies and the rest of the country's that want peace in the world. is it any surprise that iran is supportive of this? it is not. what i will tell you is, you will see almost 40 countries not in the general assembly today, and that is 40 countries that are saying in this day and time, we would love to have a ban on nuclear weapons, but on this day and time

the goal of the game belonged to dundee's faissal el bak—tewi. e's faissal el baktewi. celtic will clinch the title if they beat hearts in a fortnight. now to golf where australia's marc leishman made a surge on the closing holes to win the arnold palmer invitational the late palmer had a phrase "you must play boldly to win" and that's exactly what the 33 year old did as paul frostick reports this was the first arnold palmer invitational since the death of one of the greatest in invitational since the death of one of the greatest - in the of the greatest players in the sports history. in golf sometimes a little bit of luck can go a long way. zachjohnson, little bit of luck can go a long way. zach johnson, the little bit of luck can go a long way. zachjohnson, the american, demonstrating that perfectly on the 17th hole. there are times so when that luck is 80. charley hoffman managed to tie for second despite this a shot. rory mcilroy had as good a chance as anyone, storming to a share of the lead at one point and came very close to getting an eagl

the only thing that i can tell you here is that one of the major goals of the trump administration is to reclaim all of the supply chains and manufacturing capabilities that would otherwise exist if the playing field level. one of the again, major goals of the trump administration is to reclaim all of the supply chains and manufacturing capabilities that would otherwise exist if the playing field level. , remember, 20%s of germany's workforce is in manufacturing compared to 8% here in the united states. of course, i know they will be difficulties and bottlenecks and labor issues to address as we see two rebates -- rebuild our manufacturing base. i know that this will all take time. that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try. the final common argument used in defense of trade deficits and more broadly, the status quo, if we try to stop unfair trade if we contribute to these trade deficits, that will start a trade war. i would ask in response to this obvious alarmism the following question, would not both america and the global trading order be better off if trade were truly free, fair and

staying with football the reigning women's world player of the year, carli lloyd, scored herfirst goalght. the usa international and world cup winner scored the only goal of the game as city beat fortuna hjorring in the first leg of their european champions league quarter—final in denmark. lloyd joined city last month, initially until the end of super league's spring series in may. now to cricket and with india and australia level at 1—1 in their test series with one match to play, indian batsman cheteshwar pujara has had to step in and defend his captain virat kohli against a barrage of criticism from the australian media. he insists his outspoken skipper is one of the sports great ambassadors. but also says he regrets how the series has been dogged by controversy. the match is set to get under way on saturday as picturesque dharamsala hosts a test match for the first time. i think it's really sad to hear such comments. we fully support virat and he's one of the great ambassadors of this game. i think the focus has shifted somewhere else, it shouldn't have happened. we are very much f

the ranking members of the relevant committees. i understand of the obsession of the process piece. we are focused on the substance of itd a and the goal is making people having the substance liking into this. >> no, we sent letters within the past few hours to both of those committees informing them that we wanted to make that able to them. >> what kind of message do you think this sends? >> it sends a message that we want them to look into this and i think that as we maintained from all along that there is a belief that the president has maintained that there was surveillance that occurred in the 2016 election that's improper and we want people to look into this and take the appropriate legal responsible steps to both understand it and address it. >> major. >> so when you asked the white house having any role providing any information. what you said did not make any sense here. i don't know why he, chairman nun nunes, i am not aware of this. it is now reporting which i cannot tell if you are disputing or not identifies two people of the sources of this information, i am trying to put these things together. you said it does not pass t

the only thing that i can tell you here is that one of the major goals of the trump administration is to reclaim all of the supply chains and manufacturing capabilities that would otherwise exist if the playing field level. one of the again, major goals of the trump administration is to reclaim all of the supply chains and manufacturing capabilities that would otherwise exist if the playing field level. , remember, 20%s of germany's workforce is in manufacturing compared to 8% here in the united states. of course, i know they will be difficulties and bottlenecks and labor issues to address as we see two rebates -- rebuild our manufacturing base. i know that this will all take time. that doesn't mean that we shouldn't try. the final common argument used in defense of trade deficits and more broadly, the status quo, if we try to stop unfair trade if we contribute to these trade deficits, that will start a trade war. i would ask in response to this obvious alarmism the following question, would not both america and the global trading order be better off if trade were truly free, fair and

the only thing i can tell you here is that one of the major goals of the trump administration is to reclaim all of the supply chain and manufacturing capabilities that would otherwise exist if the playing field were level. let me say that again. one of the major goals of the trump administration is to reclaim all of the supply chain and manufacturing capabilities that would otherwise exist if the playing field were level. no more, but certainly no less. and remember here, 20% of germany's workforce is in manufacturing compared to 8% here in the united states. of course, i know there will be difficulties and bottle necks and labor issues that address as we seek to rebuild our manufacturing base and the domestic supply chain to help support it. and i know this will all take time, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. now, the final common argument used in defense of trade deficits and, more broadly, the status quo, is that if we try to stop the cheating and unfair trade practices that contribute to these trade deficits, that will just start a trade war. i would simply ask in response to thi

system improvement project and the water system improvement project and similar large scale multi-year contracts. ssip had a 10% lbe goal and the wsip to hetch hetchy and goal of 13% so we will work to go higher than 15 on this specific contract but we will also be able to increase the overall program goal with the final design and construction contracts which at this point we're estimate to be about 20%. in terms of the selection process similar to the last presentation we will appoint a evaluation panel. the selection panel will be made up of at minimum of two port employees and two non port employees. the panel will have expertise and knowledge in the area and the objectives. once the proposals are submitted we have an internal group to review the minimum qualifications and determine whether they have met all of the formatting requirements, the lbe requirements and whether the proposals are responsive and responsible to the rfp. after that happens we convene the panel. the scoring criteria will include the experience of the firm, their knowledge of the port, the experience of the project team, the work approach, how they will -- how they will preach each of

the unvarnished truth. his actions look like those of someone who is interested in protecting the president and his party, and that doesn't work when the goal of the committee is to investigate russia and its connection to the president and his campaign. without further adieu, speaker ryan should replace chairman nunes. now, mr. president, on another matter, the failure of trumpcare. this past friday was a good day for the american people. we can finally put to bed the disaster of a bill that was trumpcare which would have resulted in spottier coverage, 24 million fewer americans with health coverage and higher costs, premiums and deductibles for the middle class, the working poor and older americans. all to finance close to $600 billion in tax breaks for wealthy americans. americans should breathe a sigh of relief that trumpcare will not become law. we're happy that it's gone and we can finally move on. and as i have said many times, we democrats provided our republican colleagues to drop replace and stop undermining the a.c.a. we're willing to work with our republican friends to improve the existing law. no one ever said the affordable ca

the goal of the affordable care act was to do three things, to improve benefits, to expand coverage as to who was included and to lower costs. it has succeeded in every one of those things. and it has contained the increase of cost in a way that in the 50 years that they've measured such things, they haven't seen such containment to costs. >> can you see where the two sides can work together? the democrats will say this, the republicans will say this. we could do this for days and days and days. at some point, don't the two sides have to sit down and say what can we do to figure this out? >> well, the point is that what they're doing is putting salt on the whole systemic -- >> i hear that. >> reach insurance as to as many people as possible. if they want to talk about how we could do some things to improve the affordable care act, we serchl can do that. but you don't do it by pulling the plug. you mentioned in your presentation that they're doing -- what they're doing to medicaid. very, very destructive. very destructive. maybe we should have a side-by-side chart as to what this means

the goal of the game belonged to dundee‘s faissal el bakhtaoui. a fortnight. today we played some fantastic football, butjust failing to make the final pass... that might have made it more comfortable. but we know that if we have got to defend like that, aerially, in the box, we can do that. and by the end, we were happy with that win. arsenal ladies thrashed spurs 10—0 in the fa cup. and chelsea defeated doncaster belles 7—0. the quarterfinal is going to be an all super league line up. all change at the top of the super league, salford have ended castleford's unbeaten start to the season. the red devils came from behind to win13—12. it's wigan that replace castleford at the top after drawing 16—16 with huddersfield. six nations chiefs have opened an investigation into the events at the end of wales‘ defeat to france in paris yesterday. they played 20 minutes beyond the 80 in a chaotic finale. the wales interim head coach flagged up what he felt to be underhand tactics by the french and questioned their integrity. the first incdient that will be l

the only thing i can tell you here is that one of the major goals of the trump administration is to reclaim all of the supply chain and manufacturing capabilities that would otherwise exist if the playing field were level. let me say that again. one of the major goals of the trump administration is to reclaim all of the supply chain and manufacturing capabilities that would otherwise exist if the playing field were level. no more, but certainly no less. and remember here, 20% of germany's work force is in manufacturing compared to 8% here in the united states. of course, i know there will be difficulties and bottlenecks and labor issues to address as we seek to rebuild our manufacturing base and the domestic supply chain to help support it. and i know this will all take time. but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. now, the final common argument used in defense of trade deficits and more broadly the status quo is that if we try to stop the cheating and unfair trade practice that contribute to these trade deficits, that will just start a trade war. i would simply ask in response to this obvi

so, for example, the attack i talked about, one of the key hash tags they pushed is media. the goal is to get that in the top of twitter stream so mainstream media has to respond to that story. when mainstream media responds to it or just looks at it without commenting on it, it takes over organically and you'll see it move over the internet like a virus. >> one thing, i'm going to spend a lot of time on in this afternoon. there have been reports that their ability to target this information, some reports at least saying that in the last week of the campaign in certain precincts in wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania, there was so much misinformation coming, talking about hillary clinton's illnesses or hillary clinton stealing money from the state department or -- that completely blanked out any of the back and forth that was actually going on in the campaign. one of the things that seems curious, was would the russians on their own, have that level of sophisticated knowledge about the american political system if they didn't at least get some advice from someone in america? >> yes. i

the caucus with a handful of republican senators on this plan. the press secretary sean spicer expresses hellion around the plan to repeal and replace obama cared. >> this is. if we don't get this through, the goalaling obama cared and instituting a system that will be patient centered is unbelievably difficult. this is the vehicle to do that. turn it the white house working on manager's amendment. the winner tweet bills after they've gone through the process and before they hit the floor for a vote. that's potential to club republican concerns. they are both trashing the bill and the pressure within the republican party's. >> trump wants to call brian care. one wants to call it child care. the classic abbott and costello. it's so good, why don't they want their name on it? >> there'd be a big beautiful negotiation. back to do a trade you in new york. >> speaker paul wright will be on warnings that area. don't miss the interview. president trump announced a review of vehicle fuel efficiency rules locked in at the end of the above administration. the president will visit an autonomous vehicle testing facility in a detroit suburb and meet with cbs and several automakers. the rules for its automake

quality of the first goal was fantastic. a soft one before half—time. getting lucky. d goal we were disappointed in, but a lot of the game we gave a strong account of ourselves. the mentality has been good. we need to luck along the way. celtic are now just six points away from winning the scottish premiership title after a 1—1 draw with rivals rangers. a late clint hill equaliser for rangers denied celtic a 23rd consecutive league win, but they are 15 points ahead of second place aberdeen. the way rangers celebrated, you would have thought they had won at celtic park. on their last visit, they were sent packing after losing 5-1. things have changed since, with portuguese pedro caixinha appointed manager yesterday. the players were keen to impress, with martyn waghorn coming close to opening the scoring. but it was the home side who struck first, thanks to stuart armstrong. despite going ahead, celtic never looked co mforta ble. at times, craig gordon kept them in it. they might have found it easier had jason holt been punished for this. he was substituted soon after.

important the freedom caucus is, this coalition is, in terms of passing a replacement bill for the affordable care act and passing the rest of his legislative agenda? >> of course he understands the goal of all legislation is get to majority in the house. majority in the senate. and so at tend of the day he recognizes that he has a bold and robust agenda that he is trying to enact. that he ran on and told the american people that he would do when he was president. he's gonna get the votes from wherever he can. >> can he pass that agenda without the help of the freedom caucus? >> there's two questions. mathematically, yes. there are a few members of the caucus who have expressed a willingness to want to work with him rather than necessarily as a block. and i think there continues to be some promising signs in that, with that. so again, part of it is if people are more concerned with voting as a block in what's the best interest of the american people, he's hoping that people will see the bigger picture, the goals that we outlined and sometimes not like the good of the enemy but the perfect. >> the tweet said that he would be in favor of primarying some individuals in the freedom caucus

monetary policy, the committee judged a modest increase in the federal funds rate is appropriate in light of the economy's solid progress towards the goal of maximum employment and price stability. even after this increase monetary policy remains accommodating us supporting some further strengthening in the job market and a sustained returned to 2% inflation. today's decision also reflects the view that waiting too long to scale back some accommodations could potentially require us to raise the rate rapidly sometime down the road which in turn could risk disrupting financial markets and pushing the economy into a recession. we continue to expect the ongoing strength of the economy while warren to gradual increases in federal funding ratthe federal fundingrate to ar objectives. that's based on theiew that the nominal federal fund rate that is the interest rate is neither expansionary or contract sherry and keeps the economy operating on an even k-kilo is currently quite low by historical standards. that means the federal funding rate doesn't have to rise by all that much to get to a mutual policy stance. we also expect to the level of e

the frontpage that is what contains the politician to be overreaching of power to take seriously in but matters this hour, hour, week, time in our lives. >> the goals of tax reform with the middle income tax cuts with that simple vacation where we have the very high business tax rate that we can take the tax code to redesign things. >> because they don't provide access so we do need to reform and the consequences are disastrous. >> there is exciting things going on across the of the globe but not here. and with that this incentive and with those concerns . >>

the goal of all of this is to patient centered healthcare where patients and families and doctors are making medical decisions and not the federal government. for thend the house introduction of the billl yesterday and we look forward to working with all individuals in this > now to be clear about this, though, not all conservativesera are on board with this. bright barton news tonight calling this obamacare 2.0. senators ted cruz, senators rand paul, senators mike lee all having very big concerns about the costs of all of this and the fact that this bill was not scored by the congressional budget office. theice. that is the non-partisan officee up here on capital hill that tells congress how much things cost before they go and vote on them. s that scoring has not been done yet. but the big picture here from the republican standpoint is that they said that they wouldey offer a repeal and relays plan. they have one in hand nowd tomorrow morning we are told the two hearings are requesting to begin on this bill today. the democrats have not been shyn about blasting this. nancy pelosi tod

this coalition is, in terms of enhancing a replacement bill for the affordable health care act and passing the rest of his legislative agenda? >> of course he understands the goal of all legislation is to get to a majority in the house, majority in the senate. but at the end of the day, he recognizes that he has a bold and robust agenda he is trying to enact that he ran on and told the american people that he would do when he was president, and he's going to get the votes from wherever he can. >> can you pass that agenda without the help of the caucus? >> mathematically, yes. but secondly, i think there are a few members of the freedom caucus both prior to last friday and since then who have expressed a willingness to want to work with him rather than necessarily as a bloc. i think there continues to be some promising signs in that -- with that. so, again, i think part of it is if people are more concerned about voting as a bloc and in the best interests of the constituents of the american people, he's hoping the american people will see the bigger picture, the goals that we outlined and sometimes not be the enemy of the perfect. >> it seems like he would be fa

the other side of campus there was another laboratory started roughly the same hereby douglas boulevard. he aimed it at the computer mouse and his project was called the augmentation research center, arc. his goal, he named it intelligence augmentation. rather than replace the human you wanted to extend the human. on one side of campus you and ai and on the other side of the compass you would i ate. i said it's a really interesting dichotomy but is also a paradox because if you augment human origin extend the capabilities, the book is really my effort to kind of square the circle as much as it's possible. i'm actually sitting in front of an early pioneering, called platforms. its name is shaky. as the worlds, it was the world first truly autonomous robot. it was built to allow a new group of researchers to do basic research in ai. out of it cam can whole host ofe technologies that all scuba used today. for example,, you can draw a line from the original research done in the 1960s to navigation systems, the stuff use in your smart phone to navigate with, and speech recognition, some of the first speech recognition research was done on shaky as a control mechanism. it at the time didn't do much.

the ryan plan? >> again, there's lots of pieces of the house plan. certain aspects we like of the house plan. i'd say the senate, the house, and the administration show the goal of making corporate taxes and business taxes competitive, and that doesn't mean that it's got be a specific number of getting to 15%. it's got to be competitive. >> the last question on tax reform and then a question from one of our readers. you said in your confirmation hearing, mr. secretary, that you want to tax short-term cared interest at a higher rate yet preserve insendtives for longer term investment. how do you find that balance? >> i think the president has said during the campaign that we think that hedge funds should be taxed, and i think that's something that we will put into the plan. >> and as the part of that -- a big part of any real estate deal with commercial, industrial, is carried interest and there's a lot of changes probably coming to real estate in and the tax code. how do you balance other changes you might make in the tax code affecting real estate with the carried interest part of it? >> well, you know, again, on the carried interest we want to tax hedge fun

the u.s. economy and how much of these assumptions are built on the idea of growth? one of the big goals of tax reform for the house gop is to grow the economy and they did build their tax reform proposal around this idea. .he cash flow tax economists will tell you that is much more economically efficient and would encourage a lot more investment in the united states. the plans also reduce marginal tax rates on working. .hat is a big aspect of this something worth paying attention to the end of the day. the structure of the tax code really matters in terms of how it's going to impact the economy. anna on the republican line. caller: i wanted to ask two different things. will this plan take out a lot of the high-end loopholes that are as well asorate law the over the 1% people? this newquestion is plan itemized deduction. it sounds like you have to be over a threshold of 16,000 if you are over 65 for being able to itemized this new plan. just eliminated a lot of people being able to itemized which runs that now you can't deduct property taxes, sales taxes. in essence isn't that really eli

first, this is the only vehicle that seeks to achieve what people on our side of the aisle have been talking about since 2010. this is it. if we don't get this through, the goal of repealing obamacare and instituting a system that will be patient-centered is going to be unbelievably difficult. this is the vehicle to do that. and so we welcome senator cotton's ideas. but the second prong of this is administrative in nature. it is something that was delegated to kathleen sebelius, who was then the secretary of health and human services, to do. so prong two is actually fairly easy to do, because the same authority that was granted to secretary sebelius now is in the auspices of dr. price. and he has the ability to implement and work on that, and i think he noted it yesterday that his office has already been going through and doing that. so that phase is easy to do. the third prong, which is all of these things that conservatives have been championing for a long time, and, frankly, many democrats agree with us on, is this ability to bring down costs through selling over state lines and allowing small businesses to group together is something that we've been talki

say hey in the infrastructure is there it takes away the ain't of considering 100 percent electric vehicle car for their use so the environment goals the climatic change goals it that we have shouldn't be in the way of people's prosperity and progress that is exactly the reason we wanted to make that announcements the way we're doing it in the building that is build out and inviting the residents to buy their mo' magic like 9 unit away from full capacity maybe in a few weeks they'll get this building occupied they've been open for less than a year thank you to everyone son staple for allowing us as a city to exemplify our climatic change million people inform other parts of the country are nay surveyors we have a friend and many cities in the state of california across the country who are collaborating on that very thing and want to be the best works i want to congratulate everyone here and thank you. let's get in legislation on and more buildings ready for the 100 percent easy ready city thank you. >> (clapping.) >> wow. there is cleaver a lot to celebrate here this is a legislation that is holistic in its view and holistic not on

the goal of all of this is patient centered health care. we commend the house for the introduction of the bill yesterday and look forward to working with all individuals in this process. conservative groups like heritage action -- what does it say about this legislation that these groups are already out with opposition to it? tom price: this is the beginning of the process and we look forward to working with them and others to make certain we come up with that process that aligns with the principles that we have defined. they adhere to or agree with as well. we need a system that is affordable for folks who system that is accessible for individuals that is of the highest quality that incentivizes innovation and empowers patients. we look forward to working with them through this process. >> [indiscernible] does the administration agree with that? will americans under this plan need to sacrifice other goods to pay for their health care? >> what is happening right now is the american people are having to sacrifice in order to purchase coverage

the goal. if you see the round table and i know the pool will have a readout of this afterwards. the goal is to figure out, i think governor christie's been a leader of this new jersey, it's an issue that plagues countless communities more and ore. whether it's new hampshire or other places in the midwest, it's sitting there and figuring out best practices. and how can we get it down and how can we provide the treatment. i think the diarra administrator was noting -- d.e.a. administrator was noting that we've gotten really good at law enforcement. but the question is, how do we focus on the treatment, how do we foye foye -- focus on the prevention? how do we look at things that happened in the past to deter drug addiction from starting in the first place and deter young people in particular from starting with drugs? to how do we help families cope with this? there's a lot. i think today is the first step of bringing some of these stakeholders together. like i mentioned on the other thing. i appreciate that everyone wants the answers. i think that there's a reason that you're looki

the house and senate. but i don't think both of those goals are mutually exclusive. obviously, we don't want the government to shut down but we want to make sure we're funding the priorities of the government. >> john? >> i want to ask about the news that the president made with a tweet. he seems to be picking a fight with the freedom caucus. the freedom caucus has 30 members. does the president realize how important this caucus is, this coalition is in terms of passing a replacement bill for the affordable care act and passing the rest of his legislative agenda. >> of course he understands the goal is to get to the majority in the house and senate. but at end of the day, he recognizes that he has a bold and an agenda that he's trying to enact that he reason on and he's going to get the votes from wherever he can. >> can he pass that agenda without the help of the freedom caucus? >> mathematically, yes. but secondly, there's a few members of the freedom caucus, both prior to last friday's vote and since then, who have expressed their willingness to work with him rathe

part of it is if people are more concerned with voting as block and what's the best interest of their constituents and the american people, he's hoping that people will see the bigger picture, the goal that is we outlined and sometimes not enemy of the perfect. >> that he would be in favor of primarying individuals in the freedom caucus. >> i'm going to say let the tweets speak for themselves just for your understanding. it would be improper of me to discuss election or defeat of candidate. matt. i want fen -- [laughter] >> according to new york times provided nunes with the information last week and according to times senior director who was hired by michael flynn started going through documents after the president tweet, the wiretapping tweet. i'm wonder if the white house thinks it's appropriate for national security officials to be conducting what is basically a political task which is trying to find information but validate something the president said. >> i read the report and your question assume that is your reporting is correct. i would just suggest to you that the letter that was submitted earlier to the ranking, the chairman of the ranking members of the two committees, t

is what the country take seriously, and that is what matters this hour, this week, this time in our lives. announcer: treasury secretary steve mnuchin on conference of tax reform. >> the goals of tax reform, which are about creating a middle income tax cut, about creating personal tax simplification and making u.s. businesses competitive, where we have a very high business tax rate and worldwide income, we're able to take the tax code and redesign things. announcer: pfizer ceo ian reid. >> no one is using our medicines in the exchanges, because the exchanges don't provide them access. i think we do need to reform the health care, the way it is delivered, and the consequences will be with patients. announcer: and scott pruitt on environmental policy. >> there are exciting things going on with technology across the globe. there are exciting things going on, but not here. most of it is happening in europe, presently, because of the disincentives we have put into play with respect to nuclear. if you care about these environmental concerns, nuclear ought to be in the mix. announcer: c-span programs are available at c-span.org, on our homepage, and by searching the video library.

the ryan plan. >> there are lots of pieces of the house plan. there are certain aspects we like of the house plan. i was say the senate, the administration share the goal of making corporate and business taxes competitive. that doesn't mean it has to be a specific number of getting to 15%, it has to be competitive. >> last question on tax reform. you said in your confirmation hearing that you want to tax short-term carried interest at a higher rate yet per serve incentives for longer-term investment. how do you find that balance? the presidenthin: said throw the campaign that hedge funds should be taxed. that is something we will put into the plan. >> a big part of any real estate bill is carried interest. there are a lot of changes coming into real estate in the tax code. changesou balance other that you might make in the tax ?ode >> on the carried interest we want to tax hedge funds. we are going to carefully look at what the impact is to other areas so we don't diss incentivize what is very important investment by pension funds, by state funds, by lots of other institutional investors, retail investors into infrastructure, real estate, energy, these

it's a lot simpler because the goals of tax reform which are about creating cuts, about creating personal simplification and making us businesses competitive where we have a very high business tax credit in worldwide income. we are able to take the tax code, redesign things and i think there is very strong support.>> don't will do it right after that. i think people asked me why did we do healthcare first and why did we wait for tax reform. we been working for two months on tax reform. this is something, we are designing it from scratch i'm running through a lot of scenarios. we've needed the last two months to work on. we would not have been ready to go a month ago on tax reform, and now we are. >> you say the august recess or after so by the fall. >> absolutely. >> we are going to leave this to take you live to capitol hill for a briefing by house democrat leaders. >> melissa king junior said in a speech that he quotes often to us that of all of the forms of inequality, inequality in healthcare is probably the most inhumane and can lead to death. that was the spirit in which we came int
