Tax breaks to cut medicaid, medicare and other important things. Now we talked to a capitol Hill Reporter on whats ahead this week for congress. Joining us live on the phone is dan litman, he is reporter for politico. Thank you very much for being with us. Thank you for having me come up steve. Can you first walk us through how all of this unfolded from friday into yesterday morning by the president . The president flew up to new jersey on friday afternoon and he basically feels like the criticism from his response is out of bounds. He thinks he has done a good job in responding to this disaster, he is going to puerto rico on tuesday. Maybe his opinion on the situation will change once he sees everything on the ground. So far, he does not want this to be his hurricane katrina. I think you probably saw the Washington Post piece about how they first had a good response for the first couple of days then he had that fourday span where he really did not comment publicly, this was during last weekend where he kicked up the firestorm over the nfl players, and the whole Media Attention was focused on that, that was a lost opportunity for him to really show some strong leadership on this career pole issue. These millions of americans, these are americans in puerto rico, this is not some foreign country. Host only 5 of residents now have electricity. You get a sense of the magnitude. Puerto rico has had its own significant financial problems even before hurricane maria. In terms of the price tag and the commitment from this administration, what do you think the territory can expect . Guest this will be a long haul of fixing puerto rico because it will cost billions of dollars to bring back electricity. And they are going to have thousands of Puerto Ricans that will fly to america and say, they cannot live in puerto rico anymore. This hurricane really inflicted so much damage that it is not worth it to try to stay there for months as they try to restore electricity. So, florida will have to deal with these thousands of puerto rican, basically refugees. I think the president should understand that this will only tax florida because puerto rico will be like a ghost town is everyone leaves the territory. Steve thats what youre colleague, we talked your colleague on cspan radio this past week talking about the challenges for florida and also the political implications down the road as potentially hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans moved to florida. Guest yeah, that could really make it harder for republicans to win in the state, a lot of Puerto Ricans are democrats i have heard that the turnout rate is 80 for president ial elections. I think that will probably carry over. If they feel like the Trump Administration did not do a good job of responding and was not caring enough, then you can be sure that in 2020, they will factor that in when they cast their votes against President Trump. I will say it is a tough situation. You cant expect it to be restored automatically. Im sure they are doing a lot of work down there. Rico, in puerto from the front page of the new york times. To give you a sense of the massive destruction. The headline enduring a day of misery in puerto ricos ruins. There is a report President Trump may visit the u. S. Virgin islands. Has that been confirmed jet . They are still waiting for details of whether or not they can make the trip down to u. S. Virgin islands. The response that he gets is, he had a good response when he went down to texas. Vice president hence got a nice rush pence got a nice response as well. Did they lie shattered trump because they feel he has not responded well or do they they not visit do welcome trump because they feel he has not responded well . Or do they welcome a visit .
