Nbc news correspondent has been in puerto rico for the past week and has the very latest. Reporter good morning. More than a week after murmz hue maria ripped through here, the magnitude of the disaster is sinking in. No power, no water, no phones. Many people heard help is on the way, many havent seen it yet. Its been one week, still looking for water for her children. Its hard because we dont have anything. Shes among the many desperate for help. The destruction is a mess. These grandparents lost their home of 40 years. The roof ripped off. Storms aftermath is devastating. No water. Its been one week and across the island, supplies still arent getting where theyre supposed to. This Grocery Store rationing water and rice. Trucks are low on fuel. Governor says supplies are sitting in storage because private sector drivers arent showing up for delivery. Its been one week and the agonizing lines for gas begin before dawn. Stretching for locks in sweltering heat. Gas moves everything. It can be life threatening. How do you deal with this longterm. Theres no longterm possibility to this. This hospital had to evacuate several children on ventilators because backup generator ran out. There were patients on ventilators department on the time at a battery. That lasts approximately eight hours. Royal caribbean cancelling a cruise and using the ship to take evacuees to the u. S. Mainland. In new york relieved travelers got out on one of the few cheshl flights off the island. They tell you the federal help is coming. We havent seen it. Havent seen anything. Before her patience runs dry. That Royal Caribbean cruise ship is set to evacuate thousands of people later today. Thank you for that reporting. Coming up in just a little bit, puerto ricos governor will be a guest on morning joe. President trump whether or not to use the jones act. Law from 1920 prohibits tankers from hauling crude oil. The jones act has been suspended after other naturaldy s dy sad we have a lot of ships out there right now. Puerto rico is a very difficult situation. That place was destroyed. Its not a question of lets dry up the water. Lets do this or that. That place was flattened. That is a really tough situation. I feel so badly. May i ask a question. Senator john mccain who has asked the department of Homeland Security to wave the restriction says the shipping industry supports the jones act. Puerto rico deserves better than policy decisions driven by special interest. The iconic hue her in has died. He er fner announced death yesty along with picture and quote reading life is too short to the be living someone elses dream. He reportedly died of Natural Causes at home. He was 91 years old. Republicans rolled out nine page tax proposal. Still vague on key details. Plan lowers Corporate Tax rate from 35 to 20 . Simplifies and cuts tax rates. Expanding the Child Tax Credit and inherited wealth. Individual income rates would consolidate. The current top rate is 39. 6 and current low rate is 10 . Now estimates say the plan could cost up to 2. 2 trillion. Republicans have not outlined plan to pay for it yet. Democrats say the benefits to the wealthy far outweigh the ones to the middle class and thats something President Trump disputed while he promoted the plan from the indiana state fairgrounds. Our framework includes explicit commitment that tax reform will protect low income and middle income households, not the wealthy and well connected. They can call me all they want. Its not going to help. Im going to right thing. Its not good for me, believe me. Joining us now, White House Correspondent from bloomberg, i want to start with a comment from senator Lindsey Graham. This is what he told nbc yesterday about the importance of tax reform to the republican party. Its the difference between succeeding as a party and failing. Its the difference between having a majority in 2018 or losing it. Its the difference between one terms and two. So im curious to get your thoughts. Is he right in that . Is this going to be do or die for the party in the midterm elections. Its absolutely a sentiment thats felt very wildly in washington, not just in congress. Among republicans, but also in the white house. The white house is very aware that this is a high stakes battle here. They have to get some sort of legislative achievement done. They think this tax cut is going to be essential. Even aside from that, when you look at the members in congress, if they cant accomplish something before 2018, which is quickly approaching, thats the midterm elections, they are really going to have to answer to their constituents and health he form was a battle that they kind of say its not over, but you know, its on life support. This could even be a tougher battle. You know, ive been talking to members who say, if you thought health care was bad, wait until you see tax reform. Its a long hard road. They know its one they have to get through and succeed at this time. Lets talk about how to Bring Health Care back from life support. As you put it. President trump weighing in on the future of Health Care Reform yesterday. Making some claims. I want you to take a listen and then well talk. Im also going to meet with democrats and see if i can get a Health Care Plan thats even better. So i will negotiate with democra democrats, but from the republican standpoint, we have the votes. Well vote in january, february, or march. A couple things here. How realistic is it that he can bring the republicans and democrats together on something so particularizing of an issue and why not do this beforehand . Well, yes, why didnt we Start Talking about a bipartisan piece of legislation back in january, have committee hearings, bring both sides together. Right. A lot of people have been especially democrats have been wondering why didnt we try and do this the Old Fashioned way rather than push it through with just republican support. They do not have the republican votes now despite what the president keeps saying. Susan collins is a yes. No, you dont have rand paul. You dont have john mccain. You can only lose three votes. They dont have the votes right now. Now, they have lost the window of trying to do this republican only so theyre going to need to get democrats on board either way. Thats very, very tough call. This is very much wait and see what happens. They have immigration to deal with as well. A lot of the docket there. Facebook has become the latest target of President Trumps. Accuses the giant of working with the media. Took to favorite platform writing facebook was always antitrump and networks were always antitrump hence fake news. At New York Times apologize and Washington Post were antitrump collusion. He continued with the people were protrump virtually no president has accomplished what we have accomplished in the first nine months, an economy areaing. Facebook ceo fired back at the president s accusation in the form of a public response. Every day i work to bring people together and build a community for everyone. Hope to give all people a voice and create a platform for all ideas. He continued, trump says facebook is against him. Liberals say we helped trump. Thats what running a platform for all ideas looks like. Zuckerberg regrets saying it was crazy to think facebook influenced the outcome of president ial race. The taliban is claiming responsibility for yesterdays attack on the attack at the airport. He was not near the airport at the time of the attack. First trip to the country since the Trump Administration announced a new strategy. Several officials were also on the trip. Multiple senior taliban commanders reportedly claim insiders in the Afghan Security establishment and at the airport fed them information about mattiss secret visit. Isis claimed responsibility through their service, but as usual sl offis offering to evid new questions surrounding i Otto Warmbier.

Obtained a memo about the alabama electionhat circulated among republican donors. Written by steven law. President of the Leadership Fund super pac. Said primary voters were angry and inclined to blame republicans for dysfunction in washington. Reading in part, Republican Congress has replaced president obama as the man for primary voters. This narrative driven by trump himself and resinates with primary voters who believe the Republican Congress isnt doing enough as we frequently heard in focus groups to advance the president s agenda. Yesterday he said he spoke with roy moore and commented on his role in the senate primary. Roy ran a really great race. I know what they did with mitch and used it in the campaign. He works hard and im sure things will work out. What about Mitch Mcconnell. Is he in trouble. Youll have to ask senators about that. I do have confidence in him. Yes.

The hhs Inspector General is reviewing the travel expenses now. Joining us shannon, talk to us about how widespread the use of private jet travel is by cabinet secretaries. When is it deemed necessary for security purposes and could President Trump change things here for this. The predecessor only used a private plane once to get to a very remote location. This is not typical. This is raising a lot of eyebrows in washington. This isnt a thing. Thats why this story has really caught on so much. In the situation of price, weve seen a lot of people come in and out of the president s dog house of Jeff Sessions most notable example where he seems to show no confidence in them. Said disparaging things about them. They end up sticking around in this situation, there is reason to think that secretary price might not be long for this job. The president was already displeased with his handling of this obamacare repeal. When he said well see, well see. Let me ask you quickly about the fallout for republicans and congress. Last night paul ryan seemed to defend the houses record when it was compared to the senates record. Take a listen. Were on schedule in the house. We passed the Health Care Bill back in may. We pass ed repeal of dodd frank we did the military. We did veterans. We did education reforms. We did school choice. We did prolife. Weve done all these things. We passed 337 bills in the house as of this week. 274 of them are still in the senate. Seems like paul ryan is trying to distance himself a little bit from moitch mcconnell. If he can get tax reform through, a lot will be forgiven. Paul ryan is right there with Mitch Mcconnell as this develop boogy man right now. Antiestablishment movement is going against. Focus is on Mitch Mcconnell because of the obamacare failure in the senate, paul ryan is not far behind in unpopularity in antiestablishment movement out there. Thank you very much.

In particular here in china. China has already been long opposed to having that u. S. Made antimissile Defense System in south korea. The thad system. Its something chinese officials are more than likely to raise with u. S. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson when he travels to beijing this weekend for meetings with chinese officials. This is of course a critical time for diplomatic efforts. China says its on board. Says its enforcing sanctions. Still a degree of trade happening between china and north korea.
