of disaster so that we can continue to prepare for the Super Bowl and mitigate the expenses that we endured during the terrorist attack on New Year's Day.

President Trump will host GOP congressional leaders this week for meetings on how best to pass his broad-ranging agenda. Fox has learned that the president-elect is inviting a group of House Republicans down to Mar-a-Lago later this week to talk about his plans to talk about this big, beautiful bill as he calls it.
invitees is the House Freedom Caucus, which is really focused on cutting the deficit. They want to know how all of this is going to be paid for. And also New York Republicans. These are the people who want to include state and local tax breaks or SALT, as we call it. And Republicans do plan to use the process of reconciliation to get this done, which means that it is filibuster proof.
