Ours and jobs left our country. Large corporations changed their Business Models by exporting jobs to other countries and then shipping their goods back to the United States where they would make massive profits and wouldnt be paying tax to us either. We lost the jobs, we lost the taxes, they closed the buildings, closed the plants and factories. We got nothing but unemployment. We got nothing. Other businesses, even classic american brands, switched their headquarters to foreign countries. Because of this and other reasons like weak borders, america remains stuck in the past. I have to tell you, we have general kelly here today and we stopped 78 going up to 80 on the border traffic coming through in just a short period of time. [applause] hes done some job. Whole different world out there right now. Today we are still taxing our businesses at 35 , and its way more than than. Think of it, in some cases, way above 40 when you include state and local taxes in various states. The United States is now behind france, behind germany, behind canada, ireland, japan, mexico, south korea and many other nations. Also, with these countries and almost every country, we have massive trade deficits. Numbers that you wouldnt believe. But this administration is going to fix that one by one. Were fixing it. Were working right now on nafta, the horrible terrible nafta deal that took so much business out of your state and cities and towns. Were working on it. Lets see what happens. [applause] mexico is not happy. But as i told them, you made a lot of money for a lot of years and everybody left you alone. We have to change this deal. Hopefully we can re me goenegote hopefully we can re me goenego. If not, well start over with a real deal. [applause] when it comes to the business tax, we are dead last. Can you believe that . So this cannot be allowed to continue any longer. America must lead the way, not follow from behind. We have gone from a tax rate that is lower than our economic competitors to one that is more than 60 higher. We have totally surrendered our Competitive Edge to other countries. We have totally surrendered. Were not surrendering anymore. [applause] ideally i say this for our secretary of the treasury we would like to bring our business tax rate down to 15 , which would make our tax rate lower than most countries, but still by no means the lowest unfortunately in the world. But it would make us highly competitive. In other words, Foreign Companies have more than a 60 tax advantage over american companies. They can pay their workers more, sell their bro ducks and services at lower costs and still make more money than their u. S. Competitors. We cannot restore our wealth if we continue to put our businesses at such a tremendous disadvantage. We must reduce the tax rate on American Businesses so they keep jobs in america, create jobs in america and compete for workers right here in america. The america we love. [applause] thank you. Thank you very much. Because when businesses compete for labor, your wages will go up. Lower taxes on American Business means higher wages for American Workers. It means more products made right here in the u. S. A. [applause] when i was growing up, i always used to see the signs and stomped on the product made in the u. S. A. You dont see it anymore. Were going to go back to made in the u. S. A. [applause] the third principle for tax reform is a crucial one. Tax relief for many class families. In a way ive been saying this for a long time theyve been sort of the forgotten people. But theyre not forgotten any longer. I can tell you that. [applause] we will lower taxes for middle income americans so they can keep more of their hardearned paychecks and they can do lots of things with those paychecks. And that really means buying products ideally made in this country, but that means theyll go out and theyll spend their money, and it will be a beautiful thing to watch. This includes helping parents afford child care and the cost of raising a family. Thats so important to ivanka trump [applause] very, very important to everybody in this room but so important to my daughter. One of her big beliefs. Shes very committed to that. Right, ivanka . We believe that ordinary americans know better than washington, how to spend their own money. We want to help them take home as much of their money as possible and then spend it. [applause] so theyll keep their money, theyll spend their money, theyll buy our products, our factories will be moving again, companies are going to move back into our country, jobs are going to prosper and our country will be just like it says on that beautiful red hat. It says make America Great again. Thats what were going to do. [applause] right . Fourth and finally, we want to bring back trillions of dollars in wealth that is parked overseas. Because of our high tax rate and horrible outdated bureaucratic rules, Large Companies that do business overseas will often park their profits offshore to avoid paying a high United States tax if the money is brought back home. So they leave the money over there. The amount of money were talking about is anywhere from 3 to 5 trillion. Can you believe that . By making it less punitive for companies to bring back this money and by making the process far less bureaucratic and difficult, we can return trillions and trillions of dollars to our economy and spur billions of dollars in new investments in our struggling communities and throughout our nation. Its time to invest in our country, to rebuild our communities and to hire our Great American workers. [applause] my administration is embracing a new economic model. Its called very simply the american model. Under this system we will encourage companies to hire and grow in america, to raise wages for American Workers and to help rebuild our American Cities and communities. That is how we will all succeed and Grow Together as one team with one shared sense of purpose and one glorious american destiny. [applause] so today im calling on all members of congress, democrat, republican and independent to support proamerican tax reform. They have to do it. Its time. [applause] they have to do it. It is time. Im calling on congress to provide a level Playing Field for our workers and our companies, to attract new companies and businesses to our shores and to put more money into the pockets of everyday hardworking people and also into the pockets of our companies so they can continue to grow and expand. [applause] what could possibly be more bipartisan than allowing families to keep more of what they earn . And creating an environment for real job and wage growth in the country that we love so much. [applause] so lets put or at least try to put the partisan posturing behind us and come together as americans to create the 21st century tax code that our people deserve. [applause] if we do this, if we unite in the name of common sense and the name of common good, then we will add millions and millions of new jobs, bring back trillions of dollars and we will give america the competitive advantage that it so desperately needs and has been looking for for so long. Its time. [applause] products made with american hands, American Labor and american grit will once again be delivered throughout the world. [applause] thats true. Its true. Its time. Instead of exporting our jobs, we will export our goods. [applause] our jobs will both stay here in america and come back to america. Well have it both ways. Millions of struggling citizens will be lifted from welfare to work. They will love getting up in the morning. They will love going to their job. They will love earning a big fat beautiful paycheck. They will be proud again. [applause] that is the future i want for our people. That is the future i want for america. A nation where we are proud, prosperous, united and free. Today i am asking every citizen to join me in dreaming big and bold and daring things, beautiful things, for our country. I am asking every member of congress of which we have many with us today to join me in unleashing americas full potential. I am asking everyone in this room and across the nation to join me in demanding nothing but the best for our nation and for our people. If we do these things and if we care for and support each other and love each other, then we will truly make America Great again. Thank you, god bless you and god bless you, everybody. Thank you. Thank you very much. Governor, thank you. Thank you, governor. Thank you, senator. Thank you, everybody. Shepard the president speaking, springfield, missouri as were watching incredible scenes coming to us out of texas and louisiana. Hurricane harvey, now Tropical Storm harvey. We begin in port arthur, texas. Folks say the water came in in the dark of night, midnight to 3 00 a. M. And came in fast. This is live in a nursing home in port arthur. Completely covered in water. Lets listen. I cannot believe everything were seeing here. It breaks my heart. Im so sorry. Are these your patients . They look critical. Yeah, theyre really nice. Im not supposed to cry. I just love them. They dont deserve this. Very difficult for them. This much water, water up to the baseboards in the hall where you work. Its the first time ive seen this before. Ive never seen this much water. I never saw this before. A lot of these patients cant walk. How do you get them out . We usually get them up with a lift or whatever. Very emotional right now. Im ready to go. We have to go. I dont want were moving. Were definitely moving. Were going to the halls over here. Just to give you a tour of the nursing home and what it looks like away from the patients. A very sensitive situation with these patients. You can see these are the living area of the nursing home. You can see a lot of stuff is floating. The water almost to the seat cushions of the couches. You can see how much devastation inside of here. We have seen bed sheets everywhere, medical equipment under water. Were just doing everything we can to get the patients out. As you can imagine, this is not an easy task. You have these patients bedridden and need their medication. They cant leave here without medication. Can you imagine them having to leave this nursing home without the proper medication that they need to even survive the stress and the trauma that theyll have when ever they get into the rescue vehicle and go to the dry land . I talked to the city manager of port arthur. He told me that nearly his entire city is under water right now as we speak. He told me the water is rising. You can see theyre taking shepard kcra television with the live coverage. Ktra is the Abc Television affiliate for the houston area and our Network News Service affiliate. Theyve been so kind to let us join in so we can bring you these harrowing stories. This is video from a short time ago courtesy of ktrk. We thank them. This is port arthur where its been a horrible night. The waters began to rise in the middle of the night. Thousands evacuated from their homes. Now the first look inside this nursing home. Tales of Nursing Homes from the beginning of this tragedy. Who can forget the early picture, one of the first horrifying still pictures that we saw of residents in a nursing home. Its happened again in port arthur. Authorities are there to evacuate them. They have allowed the news crews to come in because they want people to see the totality of this. I also want you to know that the mayor says his entire city is covered. Were all across the city. Im not going to say one place is worse than the other. We have water five, six feet deep in some places. We have 18,000 water bills, 20,000 homes. Id estimate 20,000 homes have water in them. 20,000 homes in port arthur. 20,000 with water inside. The mayor posting this video showing the flooding in his own house. We have air boats, we have voluntee volunteers. Yeah. Were going to rebuild port arthur. This isnt the end. This is the beginning. Wow pray for our city. Shepard pray for our city. He told people if they call 911, crews are coming, but he went on to say try to get to Higher Ground in the meantime. Weve watched all day after rescue after rescue takes place. Folks telling fox news that theres many, many people that need help. People that need rescuing need to display a white towel or sheet or anything to alert volunteers that someone in a house needs help. Even people in shelters ended up needing help. Look at this. The flooding of the foreground there. Thats an evacuation shelter. Officials trying to find new spots for 100 people in the port arthur civic center. Listen as a woman describes what it was like inside. We have to warn you, its not pretty. You cant even pick your seat up to walk. Youre stomping, trying to get through the water. Stuff is floating. They got bugs inside, spiders. Frogs. Frogs and their babies. Tadpoles in the bathroom. Very unsanitary. We came to this place. This is the port arthur civic center. We came here to seek refuge. We came here for a safe place to get away from our flood and our house. To get away from being trapped in our house and end up being trapped here. They say theyre about to move us, but they have six feet of water outside the door. The front door. Water is coming in from every angle. Coming in from the bathroom, its coming in from the back door, the front door, the side door and its looking from the roof. They are in a situation. Officials say harvey has killed at least 21 people, including family of six that we told you about yesterday. Pictures now. They drowned when water swept away their van east of houston. Four children and their great grandparents found and identified today as the water receded. Those are the three children on the right. Officials say the van is this one. The sheriff just confirmed, investigators found all six bodies inside. The driver survived. He hung on to a tree branch for nearly an hour before Sheriff Deputies saw him and threw him a rope. He watched desperately as his parents, great nieces and nephews struggled to get out. They couldnt climb out. He called home and said theyre all gone. I want to give you an extent of the flooding. Drone footage over houston. The flooding goes on for hundreds of miles. This video from a drone that came in to us this afternoon. It shows the extent of all of this flooding. It goes so far east and west. The real problem is way east now. Close to 50,000 homes now confirmed by authorities affected by the flooding and other damage brought by hurricane harvey. A record released today shows more than 1,000 homes have been destroyed while about another 17,000 have sustained damage. Thats the ones they know about. Theres word houston schools could be closed until next week. Theyre still evaluating. The citys two airports opened at 4 00 eastern time but very few commercial flights to start. All domestic. No international. Look where the storm is right now. This is the big map weve been watching for days. Remember, there was a huge High Pressure center to the west. Now theres warm dry air coming in. So if you look on the back side of the center of circulation, a lot of moisture there. Look to the east. This red box here around south mississippi, up to jackson, down into mobile, that is a tornado watch box. Look how little rain there is there. That is because this real dry air is coming along this line and coming right up into the heart of this. The hope that will mean less rain for people in jackson, oxford, memphis and jackson, tennessee and over to nashville as this storm heads north. Eventually by labor day weekend, is expected to go out over long island, new york. The Texas Governor is down playing a law that takes effect friday. It limits how much insurers have to pay when people sue them. Critics say that state should delay the law to give people more time to file claims under the current system. The governor says every valid claim will get paid no matter when people file. Live pictures first in the nursing home. These live pictures still coming in. Im going to get to matt finn in a second. In the nursing home, theyre trying ktrk, our network affiliate, abc 13, is inside and theyre still trying to evacuate patients and get all of that equipment out of there, necessary equipment for the people. The nurses are still on site. All the nursing homeworkers are there helping to chip in with water and in these cases up to their calves and in some places up to their knees. Where matt finn is, theyre still working on water rescues. This has been going on since the sun rose this morning. Yeah for at least six hours that weve been here. I want to introduce you to sarah. Shes one of the evacuees. Her daughter is on dialysis. Sarah, you said you walked out, took two boats and now youre here with your daughter what is going through your mind . Right now, im grateful for the community to get us this far. We were at a location we couldnt move. A spanish family helped us with their boat to bring to us ninth street. From ninth street, another spanish family brought us to st. Mary. I couldnt get an answer from my husband or granddaughter. I walked back home. They were okay. So i walked back. As i was walking back, i was asking for help from helicopters. They were only bringing evacuees back on rooftops. From that point, there was a family. I noticed the name. William carroll that brought me back after i asked for help to st. Marys and brought me to the point where i was able to catch another boat to get to memorial. From memorial to get to the ambulance to the medical center. And your daughter is in the ambulance. Youre waited for her to be transported to the hospital. You said you would do anything for your daughter in this situation. Yes, not only my daughter but my family would come first. I would do it for anybody that needed help. How do you feel right now standing on dry land . Im grateful. Grateful that the Community Came together. No race, no color, no prejudices, any kind of way. Just willing to help as a christian person. Thank you. We wish you well and your daughter well. Thank you. Shepard, as you can see, people still being loaded in on hes trucks, these people movers. We just saw another elderly gentleman with a cane come off a boat. We talked to firefighters. They dont want to figure how many people have been brought to this location. We would estimate hundreds and bus loads and truck loads of people. We talked to some of the firefighters that say that there are people still stranded in this water that you see. Unfortunately the level of the water varies. Sometimes these boats go out and they hit lowlying water and they cant proceed. So these firefighters tell us they think there are other neighborhoods where people are on the roofs that they cant get to right now, shepard. Shepard matt finn on location in port arthur, texas. Thanks. A lot of storm victims dont know whether loved ones made it out of their flooded homes. We saw the woman in a wheelchair texting for help when her home started filling with water, this is the moment her Close Friends from church found out she survived. For too many victims there wouldnt be a reunion. One family begged for help on twitter who now confirmed their Family Member did not survive. Ruben williams was a track coach near houston. School officials tweeted he was a beloved coach, coworker and friend. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. Your brain is an amazing thing.

Dramatic video shows waves rolling along what looks like an ocean but looks like a major highway in texas. Thats i10 south of beaumont. You can see billboards, buildings almost engulfed. The person that shot the video said the waves were three to four feet high at times. You know, all sorts of stuff going on here. Someone showed up with a truckload or van load full of clothes and what else do you have in here . We have water, toilet paper, clothes, bread, cereal. Where did you get this stuff . We get it from people, from friends. We just put it on facebook and they help. They donate all the stuff. So youre distribute something. We are distributing here to all of these people that they really need help. Some people have a lot of kids. Were just coming from our house. The lady single, have five kids. The house went into the water. She have snakes in the house. She have nothing. So thats the people that we are helping. I think thats wonderful. Thank you so much. Ill let you get back to what youre doing. Shep, the last few days, weve been in neighborhoods that i would say kind of wellhealed around houston. This one in richmond, maybe you see some of the stuff that is flooded out here. Floods dont know whether somebody is rich or poor or republican or democrat. It just happens. Were on the brazos river and where this stuff will flow down from houston. They think it will rise. Shepard more to come. Thanks, jeff. New time lapse video shows waters rising in houston. Look at this. Its the green point neighborhood north of downtown. Somebody set up a camera facing the parking lot of an apartment complex. You can see brown water rising up and swallowing cars. The camera was rolling from saturday night until noon on sunday. At one point, a pickup Truck Drivers into the parking lot and gets stuck. Steve harrigan is with rescuers who are working hard in beaumont and count, texas. Steve, how are they doing . Shepard, theyre getting ready for a life and death situation here. You can see the state wildlife trucks have pulled up. Theyre getting briefed by the coast guard now. We expect them to deploy at a nearby creek in a few minutes. Its an incredible route to get here. Some highways washed out, bridges giving way. Some ways you can only get by boat and others by car. Along the route, a high speed convoy through the water. Other people joined in, private citizens. Some with boats, some with just jet skis. Theyve been trying to help people, relatives unable to get to the area. Theyre looking at anyone they can. Steve harrigan, i want to come back to you. Were watching live water rescues in houston. More people have been taken from their homes, rescued by good samaritans, people in their private boats. You can see this lady just got a soda and a water out of the deal and being taken to Higher Ground. A thank you to the Police Officers there as weve been seeing time and time again. Again, the water still rising in some areas. The authorities in houston say they believe this will still be a high water flood event at least through the weekend and into the early part of next week. By tuesday of next week, all houston city personnel expected to report for work. This is inside that nursing home, again, the nursing home has invited the cameras in. These are not our cameras. These is from ktrk. Abc news 13 for houston in the region. We thank them for their always cooperation with us. Takes an army of reporters and technicians and producers and all the rest to bring you this unfolding news. We couldnt do it without our partners. The Nursing Homes invited the cameras in and welcome them in because they need help. A live interview now underway from this lady just rescued from kriv and fox 11 in los angeles on scene. Listen in. What did you see when you went back there . Devastation. Just devastation. You wouldnt want this on your worst enemy. No water in my house. God is good. In the garage, but not the house. My daughter, no water in her house. Not an inch. We can live with that. Some people lost everything. What was the point that you said i better get out of here . What was it that my daughter is a sergeant with harris county. She said get out. So youre obviously lucky. Quite a few people that werent. How hard is it watch something. Awful. Awful. Awful.

Fox 11 from los angeles and working with kriv in houston. A live look back at the nursing home where they say that theres going to be a lot of needs and theyre asking people, donate to the red cross if you can. The president has just tweeted in the last few seconds, tweeting now from President Trump, texas and louisiana, were with you today, with you tomorrow and we will be with you every single day after all in caps to restore, recover and rebuild. Steve harrigan is on scene for us and watching all of this. As National Disasters go, this seems to be the longest lasting one. Its just not going away, a steady rain here now. Theyve had 48 inches in this part near beaumont since friday. That has produced flash floods, and that has taken several lives, including life of a toddler that was rescued will clinging to her drowned mother. This operation now as they prep for what is a long night in the rain is still a rescue operation. Theres been reports from city officials in beaumont that said a number of submerged cars out in the road, people still trying to drive. Shes afraid of horrible scenes once it begins to dry out here, shepard. Shepard Steve Harrigan in koonce, texas. Thanks so much.

Com, because at lendingtree when banks compete, you win. Theres breaking news now on fox news channel. Confirmed death toll in the aftermath of harvey at 21. Weve just gotten a sobering alert from houston. Theyre now investigating 17 additional deaths as potentially harvey related which would take the death toll to 38. The waters are starting to recede in dickinson, texas. Our crew on the ground says theyre giving folks a chance to look at the damage and clean up. Casey stegall driving through dickinson right now. How does it look . Shepard, the devastation is widespread. Off to the left, we have cameras mounted all over, a clinic back there, people pulling all of their belongings out, trying to savage what they can. Theyre not going to salvage much when you have feet of water. Off to the righthand side of the vehicle, you see a privacy fence and a tree snapped in half. This is what weve been talking about, shepard. You know very well from covering these, we can put a camera on a Street Corner and show you that Street Corner. When you drive around that is what gives you the sense of how widespread the devastation is. Mind you, were 30 miles or so south of houston. So this is a community thats been very hard hit. Were driving down highway 517. Heading east. Now were turning on to manor lane into one of the hardest hit neighborhoods. Jeremy, off to the right if you could show the difference here is that on the outside, it doesnt look too terrible. Its not like a tornado where it comes in and levels houses. You can see the water line on the brick. Its almost up to the roof in these communities. While it doesnt look terrible on the outside, inside its absolutely devastating. To the left again, were going to go into tony costas home here. Give you an example of what it looks like when feet and feet of water goes inside a home. Stop for one second and imagine if you had to pull everything in your house. If youre watching us now, look around your house and imagine if you had to take all of it and put it out here on the curb. That is just what thousands and thousands of people are going to be doing as the Recovery Process begins. This is why you can understand when the fema folks say the recovery will be years. Look at this house. It was filled with water. Feet of it. The people that live here went upstairs into the attic where they sought shelter. Then the woman told me that she literally had to make a choice to get out and start swimming. So swam in flood waters around the route that we just came driving. You can see appliances are ruined. The power of water really is unlike anything. You can see the water lane came up to right here. Lets get outside so we dont have action much interference. All of the people you see through here are all friends and people again. The texas spirit weve been talking about. The people that have just shown up to help and pull everything out of here. Again, this is just a little postit stand in such a large area. That is what is so difficult to get your mind around when youre talking houston being so far away. Now we can see the devastation in port arthur. This is the next step. Weve been showing you the first step. That is the flood waters, the rescues, the boats navigating street. All of this stuff is going to go to a land full. You cant even salvage it. You have books, you have tapes, you know, remnants of peoples lives. Its sobering when you see how devastating Mother Nature can be. The judge here, the county judge in Galveston County tells me they dont even think theyre going to be able to rebuild a lot of these homes, that they will be total losses. Were not sure if thats the case here. Youre talking about mold and all kinds of nastiness. So some of these people wont even be able to rebuild. Theyre literally going to have to tear it down and start anew. This is just one little example of what thousands and thousands of people across this region are dealing with, shepard. Shepard Casey Stegall with a fantastic live look in that neighborhood. So sad to see. We know more is coming. We know the impact of the mold as we continue to watch the evacuation there in the nursing home in port arthur, texas. The impact of hurricanes health is not captured in the mortality and morbidity numbers as is in days and days after the rain, this is typified by the inglorious problem of mold. Submerging a city means a new ecosystem of fungal growth that will change the population in ways that authorities are only beginning to understand. The same infrastructure that kept the water from disappearing creating a uniquely prolonged period for fungal overgrowth to take hold. 12 years ago in katrina, it created the same problem. A lot of work ahead. Today theyre working to get the nursing home patients and all that equipment out of there. Harvey is hitting louisiana and bringing with it the possibility of tornadoes. Well go live there for the warnings along the texas border. Still to come. Shepard harvey made its third landfall along the louisiana and texas border and headed to north mississippi and west tennessee. Before the forecasters expect by labor day weekend, it will be somewhere around long island, new york without any fire and fury anymore. But certainly for a cloudy weekend. So it has a whole nation to travel. Rick leventhal is along the border, venton, louisiana. How are things now, rick . Its raining here, shep. Theres a lot of localized flooding. Were off of i10, which runs eastwest across louisiana into texas. This is where a lot of the First Responders and cajun navy are getting to texas and back out. Not right now. You can see the Louisiana State trooper parked here. The interstate is closed here at exit 4 heading westbound towards texas. The traffic is being diverted off right now. The parking lot beneath the water. The horses being brought out in horse trailers. A lot of activity here as people volunteers, pulling boats, trying to get in to rescue folks in texas. At this point, being put on hold. If you keep panning to your left here, you see more Police Vehicles blocking the exit. Some boats with trucks are being allowed on to the ramp. Others are being redirected to a staging area. This area has gotten a lot of water and a lot of localized flooding down this road. A whole neighborhood is under water. We just came from there, interviewed a man in a house that is inundated by flood waters. We talked to him about what hes doing and why hes still in the house. The same problem. The water comes so fast. No drain. So its rising so fast, you know. Its killing us. My coolers, everything is gone. Its just bad. Gus says hes not going anywhere, shepard. Meantime, we continue to see the volunteers and officials, emergency First Responders heading into texas. Weve seen buses going in empty and coming out full of evacuees. Shepard rick leventhal. Thanks very much. There has been or is some flooding from new orleans to corpus christi. Thats 500 miles. Your world with neil cavuto is next after a commercial breaks. Im Shepard Smith in new york. Thanks for checking in. Neil all right. Harvey is shifting from rescue to recovery as water begins to recede in some areas. Impact on the storm and from that storm far from over. Welcome in. Im neil cavuto. This is your world. Heres the latest on what we know right now. More bodies have been pulled from the van in harris county, texas as storms recede there. The death total is 21, including six members of a family in a van. A lot of flooding in lowlying areas. Port arthur is getting slammed. That city still under water. Its home to the nations largest refinery, which will have an effect
