[Chuck Schumer]

We're willing to negotiate once the credits.

[John Thune]

Are extended, plain and simple.

[Joel Nadeau]

But Republicans say Obamacare is loaded with fraud and handing too much money to health insurance companies. So Senate Majority Leader John Thune said.

[Chuck Schumer]

The Democrats proposal is just more of the same, masking rising premiums and padding insurance companies profits with more taxpayer dollars.

[Joel Nadeau]

The GOP has said they'll only negotiate on the subsidies in health care after the government's reopened. In Washington, Joel NATO, FOX news.

[Chris DiMeo]

[Sean Duffy]

[Air Traffic Controller Representative]

At one point you're going to get burned out. You're going to get burned out. And that's what we're seeing now. There's a higher level of fatigue with the controllers because they've been doing this for a long time now.

[Sean Duffy]

Secretary Duffy says that international flights are off the hook because of international agreements.

[Chris DiMeo]

That's fox's Kelly Sabiri reporting. Authorities in Miami are investigating the death of a passenger traveling on a Carnival cruise ship that returned to the city today. The company says it's working to investigate the death. America's listening to FOX news.

[Chuck Schumer]

But China has global sites aiming to have a modern military by 2035 and what it calls world class armed forces by mid century to cool things. Now there's a new hotline between the two militaries. Longer range things could heat up.

[Air Traffic Controller Representative]

Why?

[Chuck Schumer]

Experts say the US Must crank up its shipbuilding and use of high tech gear to ensure the Trump and future administrations are not outclassed by Beijing.

[Chris DiMeo]

[Robby Starbuck]

We notified Google and Google continued to allow their AIs to spew this stuff and it got worse over time, accusing me of horrific serial rapes and things you just like.
