We saw the hope in the people. This is a Real Partnership to complete the work that needs to be done in texas. Weve come as the federal government, will be supporting the state and its people. Not for profits, hugely important. Congress, everyone, its important we all come together. I think what was most momentous to me, led by the survivors we met today, how much hope, joy, and love is still in texas. And i pray that flows throughout the world and grows in the United States and beyond. We will continue with the infrastructure recovery. We expect search and rescue to continue for the next couple days. The water is to peak, hopefully within two days, and as it recedes, we can get out of search and rescue mode and further into recovery for the survivors in the area. I think you and its an honor to be here and be able to support this and take the energy back to dhs where we will continue to work with the people of texas. Thank you. I would like to turn it over to secretary chao. Thank you
When it runs out of money that is unless lawmakers can get their act together and get us on a different path. For now all eyes are on a plan from Speaker Paul Ryan with side step immigration entirely for now but appeal the democrats by reuping funding for chip. The question mark is what happens . On the righthand side of the screen, a very big moment about to occur on the senate floor. In a few minutes jeff flake, a republican senator from arizona will take to the floor and deliver a stern rebuke of President Trump, comparing his words and actions to those of Joseph Stalin, the soviet dictator. Youre going to hear this speech from start to finish. As we said, it is highly unusual. First go to sunlen serfati and shell give us state on the government funding and spending discussion.

Last night they presented the republican conference over in the house with a spe
Again goes over to the senate. People up here on capitol hill feeling pretty good at where they are right now. But of course, brooke, everything on capitol hill, nothing is done until its actually voted 0en and voted through. And once it is, this is just a short kick the can down the road until they get into january. Speaking of kicking the can, sunlen, thank you so much. Mentioned one of the key parts of the resolution, one of the critical problems hanging in the balance is chip. That is acronym for Childrens Health insurance program. What it does is provide medical kale for almost 9 million kids nationwide and that includes 5 yeerd hassle of illinois.

but i can tell you one program won t be reduced is the chip program. look, i hope rick is right. senator, excuse me is it right. we all do. but we need to note for the record the republicans control the house and the senate and chip expired in october. the money that is left in some states will certainly run out by all accounting and analysis out there by the end of february mid-march. that s why they put money in the cr. but it s not the same thing as the program. and the republicans let the program lapse so actions may speak louder than words. let s take the senator, we hope the senator is right, and we hope they follow-through on continuing funding it for a long, long time. let s talk taxes, move on to that. something less controversial. taxes, you know, that old thing. you have more and more americans, affluent americans coming out against the tax bill, specifically abigail, i don t
