I want to make sure people understand they have a part to play as well. Reporter two questions if you dont mind, number one, taking a step back looking big picture the wildfires out west. Texas people are recovering from, irma, jose, resources of the federal government are not limited. At what point are you worried resources are stretched too thin . I dont. Chief of staff general kelly said the federal government should be able to watch and chew game at the same time. He is absolutely right. We had Cabinet Meetings today, yesterday and throughout the storm events, focusing on National Security matters around the globe. Im pretty comfortable in our ability and capacity as leaders. Also as institutions to handle various Different Things come our way. Im extremely comfortable with President Trumps capacity to do so. He juggles issues of complex i on complexity as they do today. Congress stepped up in bipartisan way. President trump deserves a lot of credit for putting that together over the last 48 hours and they have done what the American People really want them to do and that is act and do whats right and instead of quibbling over things that tend to get in the way of efficient execution of services. In this particular case well have to go back im sure for Additional Resources as stores hut our states and citizens. Were taking the proper rat action, asking for money in the small tranches and Getting Better estimates so we dont overestimate. Were not doing it in way to slow down operation. My next question, a number or too early . Subsequent request . Little too early. Approximately 7. 5 billion came for fema on the supplement was calculated estimate. There is 6. 8 figure roundabout, regular schedule remen meshment for femas Disaster Relief fund. Those two were complicated. We assumed passage of both. A third request will be based on estimates with information as we find them. Reporter ask about daca, still what happens to Daca Recipients still in the military. Can you explain why the delay explaining to these folks why that might happen and when they can expect no, i cant. President put it back on congress. Asked for his priorities to be met. Reporter window. Inner window not to be sure honest with you, answer on military part of daca. I thought we were clear. I will find out make sure to get back with you on that. Reporter given the harvey flooding and what may happen with irma, there have been reports you all are considering, reconsidering the flood, reversing the floodplain regulations that the Obama Administration put in. Whether you will talk about whether you are reconsidering that, putting back those regulations or drafting new regulations that would once again toughen backups of the flood regulations given were going to be taking a lot of [inaudible] i wont necessarily accept the premise of the question but i will answer the spirit of it. Not about tough or not tough. It is about smart or not smart. I think answer here, i did this in one of our publications. The answer we shouldnt use federal money in ways that dont anticipate future flood risk. We need to build back smarter and stronger against floodplain concerns when we use federal dollars. What happened in the president s infrastructure executive order was a recision of obama era order that had broad ranging and over reaching scope in the construction permitting. At the time we rescinded it, we did so in hope of expediteing Infrastructure Development in this country which was a smart move. What we now have to do replace, thoughtful, executive order, regulations or building practices standards for into the plain and Risk Mitigation reporter there is permanent effort in interim point out two things not to be Defense System first that obama rear a executive order had not turned into a regulation. Nothing in this storm would have changed whether we acted or didnt act if that makes sense. This was not immediate or poorly thoughtthrough step. Secondly whether we put for the executive order or not, we have latitude under stafford act authorities and other laws put rebuilding practices in texas and florida, appropriate floodplain management and think how to codify that for the future in the next month. Maam . Reporter on monday, anniversary of 9 11. With nation a lot of vulnerabilities. What is the threat level and what is the administration doing to remembering this tragic anniversary . Well, i was kind of personally motivated in the service on that day, thats why i have come back to service here again. The Counterterrorism Mission is the one i take most seriously and President Trump will, as president s before him and sense 9 11, receive comprehensive picture of the terrorist threat environment and with were doing to counter it from his senior officials on 9 11 or i think on monday well do this, get timing of that to you. Well give you a readout. He will do that, a practice we started since 9 11, president s bush and obama maintained that practice. President trump intend to do the same. I will let the Team Announce his planned event or scheduled events for attending any ceremonies, paying any respects. For the most part i would encourage the administration who im sure fan out to give appropriate speeches to show solemnity, not talk too much about policy but a day of remembrance and respect. Reporter as we go into the 9 11 and vulnerabilities were seeing throughout this nation . No terrorist should view us as have until now. Farrest thing from the truth. No active credible threat for the united states. We run the regular risk posture meetings at white house. We bring together the entirety of the intelligence community. There is no credible actionable terrorist threat against the homeland. Well track that. If we learn of such a thing we communicate it to Law Enforcement and appropriate authorities. Reporter issue of gas lines there issue of price. Gasoline jacked up 70 cents a gallon. I remember earlier briefing you said you would be monitoring to be sure there isnt gouging . Yep. Reporter that seems a cues to monitor and makes sure it is data based. Its a fact based determination. The difference between gouging and supply and demand price indicators. I ask you to remember one thing, refineries five or six in houston are still down. So we have a refinery issue on one side and increased demand issue on the other side. That is not necessarily generally going to raise prices but its a short term price spike in our experience. Well try to differentiate that from gouging as we examine potential mitigations. Floridians are used to this and pretty well used to attorney general prosecuting them in florida. Im not of the opinion that i have to issue too many warnings from this podium again but in case anybody missed me last time, gouging wont be tolerated period, period. Okay . Let me see if i can come back real quickly, sara is here has a lot more to do. Governor mapp, governor rosello, governor mcmaster of south carolina, scott of florida, deal of georgia, abbott of texas youre all on our mind. Youre our clients and customers base. You will set the requirements well meet requirements. Remember i started with inform, influence, inspire. Im sure country saw people of texas show us what compassion is all about. Im pretty sure floridians and south carolinians will step up to match the challenge next couple days. Well say a little pray. I will come back to speak to you as the situation dictates. Thank you very much. Thank you, tom. As you can see the safety and security of the American People is the president s top priority. Well continue to work with our local partners to keep the public fully informed as the events unfold. Looking ahead to this weekent, the president and first lady will be hosting cabinet members and their spouses at camp david. This will be a working weekend which will include the fourth Cabinet Meeting since the president took office. That will take place on saturday. The president will lead a discussion on Administration Priorities in addition to receiving briefings on Hurricane HarveyRecovery Efforts and preparations for Hurricane Irma. Secretary mattis will obviously be among the cabinet members attending this weekend and on a lighter note today happens to be his birthday. So i would like to wish secretary mattis a happy birthday on behalf of all of us here. Everybody knows the birthday story. In a letter to his troops in 2003, general mattis encouraged to fight with happy heart and a strong spirit and demonstrate to the world that there is no better friend and no worst enemy as a u. S. Marine. He has lived his advice throughout his life and we hope your 67th birthday is good one. With that i will take your questions. Reporter president reach ad oneoff or something we expect to see more bipartisanship from the white house . The goal is to have bipartisan efforts and certainly legislation where youve got republicans and democrats both working towards it. That was something that the president talked about during the campaign and certainly something that i think the American People expect. One of the reasons they voted for him and i certainly would expect it to continue to see that. Reporter does the president care at all Republican Leadership is annoyed with the deal he reached . I think the president s focus is doing what is best for the American People and that is why he is the president. The people wanted somebody to be a leader. They wanted somebody to step up and take action and get things done and that is exactly what the president did. I think the last thing we want to do is play partisan politics when we have people in places likes texas and louisiana that need Financial Support through the federal bost. The president wanted to make sure that happened and taken care of and thats what he did. John. What is behind president working with nancy pelosi and Chuck Schumer to eliminate the need to constantly go through the debt ceiling process . If you take some of that partisan bickering out of the process that probably is a good thing. This is a government that will always pay its debts and make sure the bills get paid and we support the needs of our country like were having to do right now in a time of Disaster Relief efforts. So that is certainly a priority, moving forward. Reporter there are some conservatives in Congress Taking away battles over the debt ceiling means you will continue to add on debt, add on debt, add on debt with no checks and balances. If you have your priorities wrong, the president is focusing one, balancing the budget, bringing the debt down overall, but also making sure the citizens of our country, particularly those in a really desperate time of need like we are seeing right now in texas an louisiana are taken care of. Major . Reporter sarah, about tomorrow, you said it is important for the public to be fully informed. I would suggest you take and due seriousness being able to cover some portion of that Cabinet Meeting at camp david tomorrow so the country will be fully informed. We will be releasing some of the president s remarks from tomorrow. Well keep you guys posted on that process. Reporter in this regard you talked about eliminating partisan bickering from the exhibit dealing process. Is that a republican problem . Im sorry. Reporter republican problem. 90 republicans voted against this emergency relief measure in large measure it was decoupled majority of republicans voted for it. The most morn thing the deal got done. The president acted on it. He worked with democrats to get it done and i think he will continue to work with whoever is interested moving the ball forward to help the American People. Reporter republicans who are displeased with this, what is white houses message . Get over it or youre sore lose officers. Were less focused what makes congress happy than what makes americans better and stronger. That was a decision the president made and that was something important to get done and willing to work with democrats to make sure it happened. Reporter sarah, just to change subjects for a second, there is equipment of quarter of a million of left violence in burma, perpetrated by a military portion of the burmese government. You would asked if the president was briefed and you werent sure. Was the president briefed, made aware of it, if he has concerns about this because it could be regionally stablizing . Also let us know whether president since taking office has had any direct conversation with the chi and would agree with some members of congress saying would like to take a stronger role in denounce this violence trying to put an end to it . I know he aware of the situation and monitoring. Im not aware if they had specific conversations so i have to look into that. Reporter concerns about a statement . Monitoring the situation and refer to the state department for specific details at this point. Jeff . Reporter sarah, what specifically are ideas that the president would like to work with democrats next on . He talked about tax reform obviously but is infrastructure on the list here . When will we know if this sort of new approach to bipartisanship is something that his new plan versus as he asked, a oneoff . The president is committed to moving legislation through. He wants congress to act and he is happy to have democrats be part of that. Tax reform is a huge part of the agenda moving into the fall. Infrastructure is something certainly wed love to see. He had meetings on that just yesterday. Were going to continue to work with anyone willing to sit down at the table and focus on those pieces of legislation. Reporter has given up on health care repeal. No and were going to continue pushing and looking for new ways to improve the Health Care System and certainly the ultimate goal would be repeal obama kiar and replace it with something that actually works. Reporter what about democrats if democrats are willing to work on an actual solution, sure. Ed. Reporter thank you, sarah. The president focused on tax reform and focused the country on tax reform after we get past the hurricanes and immediate threats. Everyone in the Administration Tax reform this year. One person, leader mcconnell, tax reform says this congress which could be next year. Is the president willing to allow focus on tax reform to move into 2018 . If not what would he say to the leader to get him on board with the administration to deliver tax reform to the American People by december 31st this year . Ultimate goal is to get it done. Ideally we get it done as soon as possible. The most important thing we provide tax relief for middleclass americans. So ideally we get that done. If we get it done tomorrow everybody would be happy with that but obviously it will be a process. As soon as we condition that would be our ultimate goal. We want to make sure we get it done right. Reporter leader mcconnell keeps saying this congress to give him a backdoor or excuse or option into next year. What does the president say to him about that . I certainly cant speak for leader mcconnell, this administration our priority is to get it done and done as quickly as we can. Catherine. Reporter [inaudible] i cant speak for the trump organization. I would direct you to them. Reporter maralago gone through a number of hurricanes. Would the president consider evacuees being housed there . That ising you have to talk to the trump organization. That i cant comment. Zeke. Reporter [inaudible]. President talked about what would the white house message be to republicans on issue of debt ceiling of cr cutting deals unpresident barack obama . I dont know you can say its a better deal when youre helping people are in a recovery effort and that certainly was the priority of the president , making sure we move things forward and quickly so those people were taken care of. That was the priority of that process. Sorry. Reporter report earlier this week special Counsel Robert Mueller will Interview White House staff regarding statement put out early july about donald trump, jr. Meeting with russian and several individuals at trump tower. Has the formal request be made an while white house staff be rye plying and who im not aware after specific request at this time. We are very clear that the white house will be fully cooperative in the process. Reporter one question on daca. On the president tweeted Daca Recipients have quote, nothing to worry about over the next six months. There would be no action. Can you definitely say no Daca Recipients will be deported in the next six months . I would imagine unless there was some sort of criminal activity i think that would change the situation. Reporter why cant you definitely say that if you let me finish. I was going to say that outside of, circumstances where there may be criminal activity or something along those lines the president has been clear that is not something that would take place a change over that sixmonth period. Reporter most Daca Recipients are worried about their status is scheduled to lapse by 2020. Can you speak to that. President says they have nothing to worry about during sixmonth time no changes being made to the program at this point. After this, again the goal is that Congress Makes a permanent fix and Congress Actually does their job and we have responsible Immigration Reform that takes place over these six months an those individ
