to saying until america is meeting with world leaders with loud emir putin she speaks russian which she lived in school. with british prime minister theresa may the chancellor speaks english merkel learned the language from her mother an english teacher. with turkish president regift everyone merkel talks tough. the relationship between merkel and u.s. president donald trump was described by the white house as unbelievable trump former press secretary said the president had a great deal of respect for the german chancellor. merkel seems to get along particularly well with the new french president manuel michel. the two leaders share a political outlook and that includes a more self-assured europe. on the domestic front merkel ruffled some feathers among conservatives in the state of bavaria with her support for a parliamentary vote on gay marriage. but they liked her pragmatic approach to dealing with donald trump's america first philosophy. besides the time when we can rely completely on others is coming to an end. and i've seen that recently myself so i can tell you this when euro

and infants and children deserved an opportunity to make their way in america and prove themselves and that that law was going to give them a chance. 16 years that we've been working on this project. mr. durbin: it was about six or seven years ago when i wrote to president obama, who had been my colleague in the senate and a co-sponsor of the dream act, and asked him to use his power as president to help these young people. and he eventually issued daca. the program that gave young people across america who were undocumented a chance to come forward, to give all their personal information to the government, to submit themselves to a criminal background check, to pay a substantial filing fee, and if they were approved to have a two-year opportunity to stay in the united states without deportation and with an opportunity to work. that is what daca is all about. 780,000 young people took advantage of that opportunity created by president obama. senator graham and i agree on many thing. we disagree on daca. i think it was a proper exercise of president obama's authority. he sees it dif

hands, folks. the 1986 tax bill substantially reduced our business tax rate to make america globally competitive, went through the roof. the plan worked. jobs and industry boomed. other countries saw our success and copy our playbook. foreign competitors adopted tax rates much lower and more competitive than our own. when it comes to business tax, we are now dead last among developed nations. we pay the highest tax of any nation in the world. our rate is the least competitive rate there is. our business tax rate is 60% higher than our average economic competitor. think of that. then he said, how do we compete? in many cases, you don't. our companies leave to go to other countries. it is a massive tax on every product made in america, giving countries like germany, canada, japan, mexico, and not to mention some of the others, a massive head start over american industry. it is time to go from dead last to pretty much the front of the pack. [applause] president trump: pretty much. lowest, but we will be getting pretty close. under our framework, we will dramatically cut the business tax

america, where once life was good. the less densely populated the place you lived, the more likely you were to back trump for president. while they celebrated in our nation's capital, there was little to celebrate for struggling families all across our land. washington versus real america, wall street versus main street. the small town has long been the home of sunny american innocence, while the big bad city was the source of all corruption. if only, trump seemed to say, the innocence of the small town could be recaptured, we could make america great again. it is still a powerful story, but was it ever really that simple? in the 1940s and ‘50s, big bad cities really came to dominate and overshadow america. and, as they did so, they inspired a whole new style of cinema. in film noir, the american city is dark, and anonymous, and frightening. people are not what they seem. you can trust no—one. everyone is out for themselves. it's no place for the innocent. yes, i know, i'm... i'm being foolish. in doa, dead on arrival, frank bigelow makes the mistake of leaving his small home town

, north dakota, this is the forth largest refinery in america where president trump will deliver his remarks. this plays into the strategy to get democrats on board. he is no longer just counting on conservatives to get tax reform through. he need democrats. he is going to states where he won by double digits in november that have democrats up for re-election. heidi heitkamp says this trip with president trump is not an endorsement of his tax plan but she does say she is ready to work with the white house and ready to listen. some critics of the decision to extend the debt hint to december 15th aren't happy wit. the others say the reason why because president trump is trying to clear the agenda for tax reform and set the table for both republicans and democrats to come together to come up with bipartisan reforms. this refinery in particular produces over 74,000 barrels of oil a day and they have been ramping up, they went from the fifth largest refinery to the fourth largest. expansion is definitely something they're pursuing. senator heitkamp says one of her criticisms of trump's ta

are going to make good on their promise to make america great again. the last major overhaul as we know was in 1986 before the internet, before the ipad, before the iphone, before the boom of the 1990's, before the downturn of 2008. before the emergence of the 1099 economy. a lot has changed and yet our tax code remains essentially the same. double taxing american investment, rewarding those who send jobs overseas while overtaxing those creating jobs here at home. a tax code that fixes these problems won't solve all of our nation's challenges. and the struggles of american businesses are not comprehensive of our nation's broader anxieties. but growth matters and that means tax reform matters. it makes all of the other work that we need to do easier. to get americans back to work, to restore broken communities, to restore opportunity much easier. it's not an end in itself but it's the essential means to those ends. few understand how important this task is more than the man tasked by his colleagues in the house of representatives to make it a reality. kevin brady, the representative

[applause] before his inauguration he hit the ground running. when he arrived in washington, he went straight to work. what our founders were looking for, there were looking for the best and the brightest, to come to washington. and then, when they were done, they would go home to see what they had done and be with that. that is why our capital buildings are not to be staffed with wealthy and incompetent politicians who serve their own interests. who are they to tell our 50 states, that we cannot even keep men out of our daughters public restrooms? i have six c

presidential actions in recent memory. this was a shameful moment for our country. america has always stood as a beacon of freedom and opportunity but not right now. the daca program has allowed nearly 800,000 dreamers to work, study and serve their communities and nation. that includes nearly 1,300 dreamers in my home state of rhode island. the dreamers are workers and taxpayers. they pay $3 billion in taxes each year, including $2.65 million in my home state. and contribute $470 million to medicare. they didn't choose to come here. they were brought here by their parents as very young children. they love this country. they share our values. they're contributing to their communities every single day. they're young men and women like a 22-year-old rhode islander who came here from guatemala when she was 7 years old. she was later accepted to rhode island college where she's paying out of pocket today to pursue a degree in teaching. leslie works at cal cut middle school in central rhode island who helps kids who need behavioral and emotional support. she will have to give up this dream unles
