Reporter hall can only fit six passengers. In the group was eight young adults. They were like no, f that.

All she says she could think of my girls. Not being able to see them again. Reporter lyft sent a statement in response saying as soon as we were made aware of this incident we deactivated the passenger from the lyft platform and stand ready to assist Law Enforcement in the investigation. She says this was a wake up call for her and for her lyft and uber drivers. You need to be prepared, as prepared as you can be. What a horrible story. The driver says she is doing better and continues to recover from her injuries. Right now, voting has started in venezuela. On the battle is the election of a new assembly that will have sweeping powers to rewrite the countrys constitution. The vote is back the by the president and opposition sources are boycotting, say they dont have the power to ask for the vote. Opposition members arent on the ballot guaranteeing a result which could lead to a pro meduro constitution. In the months leading to todays votes there have been massive protests and more than 100 people have died. The president began imposing sanctions on the regime because of the election. More are promised. Experts believe u. S. Sanctions can cause gas prices to jump by 15 to . 25 a gallon. Police have broken up an alleged terror plot that could have brought down a jet liner. Officers raided homes and made four arrests. Suspects are accused in taking part in a conspiracy to use an improvised device to target an airplane. The plot was islam is inspired but theyre not naming a specific group. President trump taking aim at china following fridays test featuring a missile that could hit california. He tweeted i am very disappointed in china. Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions in trade and yet they do nothing for us with north korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve this problem. Meanwhile, u. S. Flew two aircraft bombers over the Korean Peninsula in a show of force after the tests. South korea fighter jets and japanese air forces participated. They say if called upon they are ready to respond with overwhelming force. People across the nation and in the bay area rallied to protect the Affordable Care act. Protesters spilled into the streets. Hundreds voiced concerns about republican efforts to repeal and replace obamacare. Even those who have insurance through work say theyre afraid of what can happen if they lose their jobs and their coverage. Because of obamacare, we were able to get insurance right away, the aca. It covered us. There were no gaps. During that period of those few months, we both did have issues that we had to see our doctors about. Even after the so called skinny repeal was defeated, President Trump tweeted that the effort to repeal is not dead. Phil and i asked the former San Francisco mayor willie brown if democrats should step in and take action. The democrats should have started sometime ago, phil, tinkering with those things that need to be changed. Because after all, that measure is several years old and invariably experience of use causes certain modifications the need to take place. Democrats should have been leading the charge to secure that, and they ought to be very active in it now. Part of the problem though is the things that are needed and the democrats i have talked to, in their estimation, are things that require more money, subsidies, spending. Either under obama where you had a republican dominated congress or now where you have a republican controlled government the idea that you are going to be able to make the changes even if you know what they are and you have a ten point plan, pass those and spend additional money. Forget repeal. Thats the dialogue you prefer to engage in. Thats a substantive dialogue. Its the dialogue that will have a constituency that will be generated as a result of these new definitions of care. Believe me, you are in much better shape and on far more solid ground to be speaking from that perspective. The democrats should be leading the charge. There will be some republicans who will instantly embrace what theyre talking about. I will say this. Democrats are within their rights to say republicans, you have been talking about repeal and replace for seven or eight years. Lets lay back and be quiet and see what you have and let those ideas that you do have or dont have after all the years of talking, we have had it. Fine. Now you have the stage. Lets see what you can do and not present a competing agenda yet. Republicans have only wanted to abolish healthcare provided in the administration of barack obama. All they wanted to do was kill the program completely. The president has the ability to kill the program. I understand he has been on social media talking about potential of repealing subsidies for insurers which is a crucial part of obamacare. Without that what would happen . It would be a total disaster. Insurance companies are going month to month on the subsidies. President obama put them in place through executive fiat and that means that the president can take them away. What is happening is each month Trump Administration is announcing whether or not it will fund the subsequent months subsidies. At the point when he says we are not doing that, the Insurance Market would be a complete disaster. Its like a Nuclear Option that so far no one has been calling for. Now the president seems to think this is back on the table. Very interesting. I am sure we have a lot more talk about this in the near future. We can do a whole show every week on healthcare. Senator john mccain is returning to his home state of arizona where he will start radiation and chemo at the mayo clinic monday. He was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer. He returned to washington to cast what would be the decisive vote that sank his own partys latest Obamacare Repeal effort.
