Dominican republi turks caicos. Weather meteorologist Charlie Meese with us what is the latest. Category 3 with 115 mileanhour wind. It is possible it will strengthen a little bit as it moves northwest at 1 to miles an hour. The problem will not be the 155 mileanhour winds when it hit puerto rico but across hispaniola and Dominican Republic. You will have tremendous flooding. They are mountainous islands. They enhance rainfall with or graphic lift. When you have 10, 20, 25 inches of rain. Catastrophic flooding going on in puerto rico, likely to extend north as the storm movers north. Hispaniola, Dominican Republic will have to deal with the same thing. Wind will be Hurricane Force there but it will be the flooding that will be a big issue as it moves farther north and west. Through the turks caicos, nine to 12foot storm surge in the lower islands, that will be a big issue right along the coast. The good news, at this point, looks like a trough off the east coast in part due to jose, area of High Pressure back over bermuda will steer the storm farther north away from the east coast. However that track has to be closely monitored. Neil Charlie Meese, thank you very much. Rob gould, Florida Power and Light Company is with us. Rob you look at this, troubles theyre having getting power back on. It could be were told in some places up to months. How is that possible . Well, you know, to be honest weve been so focused on our restoration but to have a storm of that magnitude hit the islands and affect the grid, it is just, Mother Nature is a humbling force and, it is something that we know all too well what we had to to through. Weve been very fortunate here because we spent roughly 3 billion over the past decade hardening our grid. Within the first basically, first day of the storm with it still on us, in the northern florida portion of our territory, we had already restored one million customers. That is largely due to automation. So were at a point now, were now in dade county, were virtually 100 . Were almost on. Neil that is amazing. That is amazing. One of the things i heard, puerto rico like florida, built up more stronger hurricane resistant buildings, not to the degree florida did. But what they were not prepared for was the surges and flooding that has wiped out so much, all of the power. How do you deal with that and how do you prepare for that . Good example, we have a less on learned we had from super storm sandy where many of our substations actually had flood monitors. We have seen in st. Augustine for example, two years in a row, we had Hurricane Matthew last year, we had irma this year, literally we took that substation out of service as we started to see our monitors and alarms going off where floodwaters were starting to come into the fence line, if you will. What we did was we took it out of service. The floodwaters recede. We bring that substation back into service after we inspect it. That saves us three to five days, arguably millions of dollars in restoring and rebuilding a substation, getting our customers lights back on as quickly as we can. Neil now when i hear country, commonwealth, territory talk about months without power there are obviously going to be some places come up sooner rather than later. I imagine they would be in and around san juan, more Rural Regions that could be dicier . To be honest with you, neil, i cant speak what theyre going through. Neil sure. It is such a challenge, a monumental challenge. One thing about the industry were resilient. Whether it is puerto rico, whether it is florida, anywhere the industry comes together. They will get through it. Obviously they have challenges. Were fortunate here and again i just, our hearts go out to many of our employees in puerto rico, Virgin Islands and the caribbean. We are keeping an eye on it but its a challenge. Again, Mother Nature is extremely humbling when it comes to the electric grid. Neil youre right about that real quickly. Doesnt look like the storm will affect florida, you never know with the forecasts. I would think even pounding rains from this would be last thing florida would need. Well see effects in our Service Territory for weeks and months. You will have trees in weakened conditions. That will be an issue with thunderstorms we see here. Were not out of Hurricane Season as you know. Neil not at all. In florida, most people think of september 15 as peak of season but in florida, our inhouse meteorologist is quick to remind us, middle of october and little later is peak to florida. You could have close in to the peninsula development. Were mindful of that for sure. Neil rob, be well, thank you very much. Thank you. Neil good luck and good work. Rob gould, Florida Power and light. Puerto rico under massive flooding and mudslide that come with that. Keep in mind that is a very, very big worry around their rainforest area. Of course packed in the middle of the country, northern part of the territory. The u. S. Coast guard san juan commander, captain eric king joins us on the phone. Thank you for taking the time. How do you deal with Something Like this . Who do you target for relief or help . Good afternoon. Thanks for having me. Our focus ideally, pretomorrow storm really focusing our people are safe and our resources are safe so we can come back in following the storm to reconstitute our units to provide services to puerto rico and Virgin Islands. Neil with the entire area out of power, the services you provide generate oars or relief Something Like that to get some folks back up to speed . I mean our role, in our role in this is really to try to reopen the port waterways if possible. Neil okay. Were providing immediate searchandrescue efforts. Opening up ports and waterways of valuable commodities goods can support neil the fact this brought so much flooding with it, that obviously complicates relief efforts and the like, a lot of people who still cant get back to their homes, some communities im told the homes were essentially destroyed, what can you do about that . You know, we tie in, were closely in this case with the puerto rico Emergency Management authority. We tie in to support any of their efforts. Obviously trying to clear water and roadways in that case. We are, like everyone else rely on the roadways to move our boats that we brought inland, bring them back, put them in the water. Were tied closely and work with the Emergency Management officials here. Neil all right. Captain, we have in and out audio connection with you. I apologize for that. Continued good work. Captain eric king, u. S. Coast guard san juan commander. Well be looking at a very busy schedule coming up in washington particularly next week, into next month. It looks like theyre very close to a vote yet on another health care rework. At the same time were supposed to get details of those tax packages various parties are working on, including the Trump White House were told well have pen to paper and detail of those rates for everybody, except were told the rich. After this. You each drive a ford pickup right . all yes. Im going to show you a next generation pickup. Awesome. Lets do this. The bed is made of highstrength steel, which is less susceptible to punctures than aluminum. Stronger the better. And best of all, this new truck is actually all laughing oh my. The current chevy silverado. Current chevy owners and lessees get a total value of tenthousand, six hundred dollars. Or, 0 financing for 72 months on this silverado all star. Find new roads at your local chevy dealer. And lifes beautiful moments. Ns get between you flonase outperforms the 1 nondrowsy allergy pill. It helps block 6 key inflammatory substances that cause symptoms. Pills block one and 6 is greater than 1. Flonase changes everything. Neil all right. Here they go again. Another effort to repeal obamacare but this time they seem to think among the republican leadership, that they got the charm. This could do it. Despite the fact senator rand paul doesnt like it. At least five republicans are on the fence, a number of insurers are gathering around saying this isnt our cup of tea, and couple big governors Chris Christie and john kasich that it is unacceptable to them. Congressman Dave Schweikert is on the phone. Congressman, thank you for taking the time. We dont know a lot but it isnt a slamdunk. Is it risky to see your Senate Colleagues attempt to put this up for a vote . Look, whenever youre dealing in this subject area, it is risky. But you have to actually sort of deal with the math f youre from arizona, you know, the obamacare, the aca particularly individual market is collapsing around them. We dont have a choice. We need a fix and, the fact of the matter is, if they are really talking about substantial block granting without a lot of the rules and regulation giving us the ability to be creative, that is something arizona is really good at. Neil you know what this comes down to . It caused a commotion among comedians and latenight tv, i dont want to go down that avenue, congressman, but whether preexisting conditions are covered. I guess the gist of this legislation by bill cassidy and Lindsey Graham means more states have more control of more dollars where they could decide what to do with the dollars, if push comes to shove, whether to cover such preexisting conditions. Is that true . That is not my understanding. It is a little more nuanced than that. Neil okay. I believe the mechanisms it being guaranteed issue remain. What happens is, what is part of a individual benefit packet. Could you alter it, change it, but i believe at least in a draft that i was touching in politics this is lifetime ago it was a week ago it, had language in it that the state could change the essential benefit package as long as it was expanding coverage, lowering prices. You cant expand coverage and do certain, you know, you have to be able to also find ways that a preexisting, will be covered because you have guaranteed issue. We got to be careful because were playing games with the language. Neil i could look at that as well saying you can expand coverage at lower prices if you dont have to worry about covering someone who has a very expensive prior condition or whatever. So that is why some read into this. I dont know what the truth is so that why is im relying on your expertise here. That is concern a lot of folks have, before they put pen to paper or sign on to this, that many of are eager, particularly republicans who dont want embarassment here, they want assurances that spates wont pull a fast one on folks like that. Look, it is fair but, when you look what goes on in health care in the states, for 30 some years we had guaranteed service. You walk into a emergency room, you walk into a hospital, they must take care of you. So the number of procedures in our society has been basically the same before the aca, after the aca, and in the future. This is the debate how you pay for it and who gets to pay for it. Neil how do you guys change the narrative here though . I think republicans are in nowin situation especially when barack obama reappears on the public stage to talk about you trying to dismantle health care, being very, very cruel about it, and this would lead to a lot of suffering and pain, when in fact it is these rocketing premiums for a lot of individual americans across the country that is causing a great deal of suffering and pain. So yet in that area, you always seem to be behind the eight ball losing pr argument. How do you counter that . Im not sure, at some point you need adults in the room to make the math work. As were seeing in the individual market, and heres the problem. Most people dont realize obamacare primarily was about the individual market in a Congressional District like i represent, that is only 2 of my population are in that individual market and the expansion of medicaid. But that individual market is collapsing because the healthy folks arent buying. The cost has gotten too exorbitant. Those who with chronic conditions are. So the toxicity curve blows off the chart. Were trying to find a way to lower the premiums so more healthy population will buy. Well that is sort of a acutarial math discussion and the other side is talking about emotion. Well, emotion doesnt actually make finances work. Neil no, that is a very good point. It doesnt pay the bills either and there are bills to be addressed here whether youre a fan of what you guys are doing or a fan what democrats want to do, singlepayer or whatever. Congressman, thank you for the time. No, i appreciate. Neil be well. Something that can get in the way of all these initiatives is Russian Investigation and wiretapping around Paul Manafort. Blake burman. What do you have . Reporter director of intelligence jim clapper saying possible, possible, that a wiretap may have picked up a conversation between President Trump an Paul Manafort. Right off the top lets point out it is unclear when this possibility could have happened but clapper was responding to a cnn report that manafort was wiretapped before and after the 2016 election. According that report the first wiretap dates back to an investigation in 2014 looking at workman that for the did for ukraines working ruling party and second one, this is likely relative to clappers comment, was granted by fisa court last year possible ties of Trump Campaign, some members of the Trump Campaign and russian operatives. Man that for the was officially brought into the campaign in march of 2016, elevated to the chairmanship role a couple months after that, and left in august of 2016. Listen here to clapper on that possibility. Is it possible the president was picked up in a conversation with Paul Manafort . Its certainly conceivable, yeah is it likely . I cant say. I wouldnt want to go there but i will say it is possible. Reporter now clapper, who was also the director of National Intelligence during the last six years or so, neil, during the obama administration, also claimed in that interview last night on cnn, he was not aware of a fisa warrant involving Paul Manafort. Neil . Neil all right. Thank you, my friend, very, very much. Meantime i want to let you know that mercedesbenz is upping its commitment to build more cars in the United States. A one billion dollar investment in electric Vehicle Production were told for alabama. That would involve 600 jobs. Far more consequential to me was news we just got out of starbucks that it is planning a maple pecan latte go against its pump pin latte. America get ready pumpkin latte. More after this. Today, were out here with some big news about type 2 diabetes. You have type 2 diabetes, right . Yes. So let me ask you this. How does diabetes affect your heart . It doesnt, does it . Actually, it does. Type 2 diabetes can make you twice as likely to die from a cardiovascular event, like a heart attack or stroke. And with Heart Disease, your risk is even higher. You didnt know that. No. Yeah. But, wait, theres good news for adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease. Jardiance is the only type 2 diabetes pill with a lifesaving cardiovascular benefit. Jardiance is proven to both significantly reduce the chance of dying from a cardiovascular event in adults who have type 2 diabetes and Heart Disease and lower your a1c. Jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. This may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. Ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. Stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of ketoacidosis or an allergic reaction. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. Do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. Other side effects are sudden kidney problems, genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. Taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. So now that you know all that, what do you think . That its time to think about jardiance. Ask your doctor about jardiance. And get to the heart of what matters. Neil the president is speaking at the palace hotel with leaders of south korea and japan, no doubt on north korea. Lets listen in. Im announcing a new executive order i just signed that significantly expand our authorities to target individuals, companies, financial institutions, that finance and facilitate trade with north korea. As i outlined at my address to the United NationsGeneral Assembly north Koreas Nuclear weapons and Missile Development is a grave threat to peace and security in our world and it is unacceptable that others financially support this criminal, rogue regime. The brutal north korean regime does not respect its own citizens or the sovereignty of other nations. Our new executive order will cut off sources of revenue that fund north koreas efforts to develop the deadliest weapons known to humankind. The order enhances the Treasury Departments authorities to target any individual or entity that conducts significant trade and goods, services or technology with north korea, and im very proud to tell you that, as you may have just heard moments ago, china, their central bank, has told their other banks, that is a massive Banking System, to immediately stop doing business with north korea. It just happened. Just reported. In addition to everything else, what we will do is identify new industries, including textiles, fishing, information technology, and manufacturing that the Treasury Department can target with strong sanctions. And, secretary mnuchin is representing the Treasury Department. He is here today, to prevent sanctions evasion. The order also includes measures designed to disrupt critical north korean shipping and trade networks. For much too long north korea has been allowed to abuse the International Financial system to facilitate funding for its Nuclear Weapons and missile programs. The United States had representatives working on this program for over 25 years. They have done nothing. Thats why were in the problem that were in today. In addition to frankly other countries not doing what they should have done. Tolerance for this disgraceful practice must end now. And a new order will give the Treasury Department the discretion to sanction any foreign bank that knowingly conducts or facilitates significant transactions tied to trade with north korea. And again, i want to just say, and thank president xi of china for the very bold move he made today. That was a somewhat unexpected move and we appreciate it. New authority in this area applies to any activity that occurs following my signature on the executive order which i have actually just signed. Foreign banks will face a clear choice, do business with the United States or, facilitate trade with lawless regime in north korea. And they will not have so much trade. This new order provides us with powerful new tools but i want to be clear, the order targets only one country, and that country is north korea. The regime can no longer count on others to facilitate its trade and banking activities. Many countries are working with us to increase economic and diplomatic pressure on north korea, but i continue to call on all those responsible nations to enforce and implement u. N. Sanctions and impose their own measures like the ones im announcing today. I must tell you that this is a, a complete denuclearization of north korea that we seek. Can not have this as a world body any longer. In just a few minutes Prime Minister abe, president moon and i are going to discuss what more we can do working together. Weve had a very, very close relationship. I think our nations have become closer because of this. I know it is going to be a great meeting. Our alliance with south korea and japan has never been stronger than it is today. We share a commitment to creating a world where strong and independent nations honor their people, respect their sovereignty, respect the sovereignty also of other nations, and promote peace. Thank you very. I would like to ask, start off president moon, to say a few words, please. Translator recently we say provocation coming from north korea and the japanese people must have gone through a huge, big shock and i believe that the standard, huge concerns that japanese people may have because of this provocation. So i would like to express for the compassion for the japanese people in this regard. The three leaders have met at g20 in july in germany and issued a joint statement. And through this joint statement we set a Firm Foundation for close coordination among the three countries, based on which we are cooperating closely with the International Community. For the sanctions and pressure on north korea. And through the u. N. General assembly, that the three leaders have come together, we all had made speeches at the General Assembly and we met with leaders of the major countries at at bilateral we were able to enhance understanding about the sanctions and we were able to urge International Community about this situation. I think this is an outcome that, meaningful outcome that the three countries have made. President trump talked about the executive order through which the u. S. Is going to be implementing sanctions against the dprk. Those are very major announcement made by china to take actions on dprk. I am very confident that these such moves will contribute to complete denuclearization of dprk. I would like to express my appreciation to President Trump. I would like to say korea would closely coordinate with the United States on this matter. Through todays meeting i sincerely hope that there will be display of strong leadership in coordinating our responses with the north korean issues and look forward to engaging in debt discussions for solution to north korea and Nuclear Missile problems. Prime minister abe . Translator in the last three weeks, two times north korea launched Ballistic Missiles, two times, going over japan and they conducted six Nuclear Tests and the scale of the tests was beyond the scale of hiroshima bombs, more than 10 times the scale of the Nuclear Tests, it was 10 times more. This is intolerable, outrage outrageous act. Thanks to donalds meeting we have summit between the u. S. , japan and south korea. Our unity and solidarity could be presented to north korea. This meeting is indeed quite significant. I would like to thank donalds leadership. Recently u. N. Sanctions was adopted unanimously including very strict sanctions and i would like to thank the efforts of the u. N. Ambassadors from the United States and further efforts are needed and in this context donald just referred to signing of the executive order, new executive order. So we are going into the new stage of pressure from the viewpoint of exercising stronger pressure, new pressures as, i welcome the new sanction measures of the United States and i would like to offer my heartfelt support for that. Bearing in mind those measures between the three countries, we will have the collaboration, so that we will move toward the abandoning of Nuclear Weapons and Nuclear Program by north korea and we would like to lead into the next action. Thank you. Thank you very much everybody. We are also discussing trade transactions and trade deals with japan and with south korea. And that will be very important but this is something obviously will take precedent. So thank you all very much for being here. We appreciate it. See you later. Thank you. Is dialogue still possible with north korea . Is dialogue still possible . Thank you. Neil all right. Thatthat is a big vetment here n the battle back and forth to get the North Koreans to quit being so provocative. Their chief economic beneficiary, the one propping them up, china, has through the central bank sent out a notice to all chinese banks, dont do business with the North Koreans. Now of course that is easier said than done. We dont have the same type of relationship here with our Federal Reserve which is the nations bank, if you will, barking out orders to banks like citigroup or bank of america, that sort of thing. They can advice Capital Requirements but cant tell them to who to lend to and but they can say who it is illegal to trade with those countries. They have to follow the orders of the central bank in china. If we take the chinese order at their word, that they issued coming from their central bank, to all member banks and have to follow in lockstep not to do business with north korea. In the middle of that strategy, south korea is providing 8 million in human human aid, for those who would be the most vulnerable to such sanctions in that country. So it is a bit of a mixed message here but 8 million as well. If you give 8 million of north korea, can you be so sure that money will go for humanitarian efforts. Again, shinzo abe, the japanese Prime Minister, recently has been talking very, have you tough and says donald trump is sending right tough message to north korea and by extension to china. He had an interesting letter in the New York Times, prioritizing diplomacy and emphasizing dialogue will not work with north korea. South koreas president is in more of a difficult pickle here because his country will host the winter olympics. He doesnt want to risk the wrath of his northern neighbor. Not that it will lead to nuclear war but he doesnt want them to destroy the party of that International Confab starting next winter. South korea doesnt want it to go off without any hitches here. I can not stress that enough, how important that is to south korea, these upcoming winter olympic games. They will enter into this argument again and again and again. As we telegraphed on this show. This is just the latest indication how the south koreans are sort of dancing on this pin here, not to agitate so much they fear North Koreans, forget about possibly bombing them. But they might destroy those olympics. They might seem like a minor point to you, but its a very, very big point in south korea which pays big bucks for rights to host the games. Right now a lot of countrs are getting anxious whether they should to to them. John hannah, former National Security advisor to Vice President dick chaney ney. Always good having you. Maybe im a little cynical here but when the chinese tell us theyre letting word go out to their banks, dont do business with north korea, should we believe them . No. I think we might trust by verify here. The history of chinese actions with respect to north korea, sign up for u. N. Resolutions, get a pass, then not enforce them at the north korean border. So well have to see, but i agree with you, i think this is potentially significant move. I dont think there is any chance in the world the chinese would have done this if the president had not been after them month after month to really get tough on the North Koreans. I think the president is now wielding through this executive order a very heavy hammer that he is going, he is now prepared to unleash very hasek dairy sanctions against the Major Chinese banks and industrial conglomerates that continue to keep the north korean economy afloat and i think the chinese may have just blinked here. The devil is in the details. Everything will depend on chinese enforcement but the president looks like he is ready if they dont do it, will unleash on major wellconnected Chinese Companies. That is remarkable. The difference between our countries, north korea and china couldnt be more stark. The Federal Reserve couldnt enforce actions other than how much money you keep on deposit all of that, but this is going to another step, isnt it . This i imagine could be verifiable we could see if the chinese are delivering or not, right . Yeah. We have pretty good intelligence on Chinese Companies and banks as well as Russian Companies an banks that continued despite u. N. Sanctions to facilitate billions of dollars worth of transactions with north korea every year. So we know what these guys have been doing. We just havent had either the will or perhaps the capability to really come down on those, on those companies and those banks in china. And now it looks like through this executive order the president is clearly signaling that the game is up. Neil all right. We have to get serious. Were in the endgame with this north korean crisis if we want to have any hope of settling it peacefully still. Neil someone called it the Nuclear Economic option and we just pushed that button today. Thank you very, very much. John hannah. Just to bring you uptodate, this is a staggering development here. This is something, dating back to bill clinton later on president bush, barack obama, and now donald trump have tried to exert ultimate pressure on north korea with its chief benefactor, the one country that keeps it propped up, china, and china blinked today. If this is true and china can get its banks to quit doing business with north korea, thats historic, that is big. That is staggering. Well have more after this.

China Central Banks told their other banks, the massive Banking System to immediately stop doing business with north korea. Just happened. Just reported. Neil just happened its a big deal. As many would argue, you want to trust by verify that the chinese while deliver on this, but what donald trump delivered today, is something that bill clinton tried, george bush, tried, barack obama tried, to use the china wedge, to get chinese supporting north korea, providing reserves, money, capital, anything North Koreans needed. A lot has curtailed over administration, the spigot was opened with chinese lending institutions and banks and concerns. Sometimes theyre woven together, but run by China Central bank. That is not like our Federal Reserve, could suggest reserve requirements that Banks Like Bank of america and citigroup on deposit. This is the China Central bank telling lending institutions do not do business with north korea. If, if they follow up on that, in other words, if chinese are going to make good on that commitment, that is a very Significant Development and its a goal that failed virtually all this president s predecessors. The significance of that Going Forward. To the daily caller editorial director vince collagnese. It all depends whether china is not lying and will follow through. What do you think . I think it is exciting. I think it is excellent that our president is Standing Firm and coming out so strongly, south korean president had said it about the u. N. Speech it was firm and specific. The rest of the world is watching us. I think theyre very impressed with our president. Neil well on this particular issue, others have tried to do what this president just did or appears to have done, vince. Now the question Going Forward, besides whether they follow up and do what they say they will do. What do the North Koreans do . If North Koreans continued to be bellicose, continue to be very aggressive with missile tests what have you, they have not only gone rogue, they have gone nuts, right . I would say so. At this point it is clear kim jonguns sees nuclear advancement for insurance policy for his countries. It is clear china is the one superpower here that will be able to lean on north korea to potentially get concessions if anyone will diplomatically. This can be not understated how momentous it is. See two, 150 Security Council votes with china and russia, that the heat in region but not only United States insisting that it has to defend itself is creating a situation where the use can successfully project itself in that region and china is not liking that. You have a Missile System that whose scansers reach into china. China cant tell us no you cant do it right now. Things are way too hot for the u. S. To back off. Neil amy, your sense the chinese are reading into donald trump he means it . He will do something crazy, in their eyes, characterizing it . It was sort of like Ronald Reagan with the star wars defense shield . A lot of people said it got the russians to the table because he said he will do the star wars thing . I dont know if they would use the term crazy he likes to keep people on their toes. That is important, he doesnt share with us his next move at every given moment. That is something that president obama did and really weakened our country. I think that is the president is doing the right thing. Neil guys, with all breaking news, thank you, for being willing to change topics quickly. Well talk about taxes. This might change the environment for that by the way. A lot of whispering back and forth what got us here. There is talk that Trump Administration was seriously pressuring chinese to go into a trade war with you. And we know it could be devastating for us, and could be a lot more devastating for you, unless you do something about north korea . If this is the result of that, its a Significant Development and one now begs the question, will the chinese deliver the goods, what will the North Koreans do once they did . More after this.

Every u. S. President , really going back to george bush, senior, tried to rein in the North Koreans using the china card and trying to get chinese to exert some pressure with nuclear testing. Part of it was the chinese would rein in a little here and there. Might get a bank or two. A individual bank or two look like they were responding to pressure. This is the chinese central bank, essentially laying down the law to all member banks. Very different. Their Financial System was a lot better than ours. All march to the drummer. The China Central bank, if tells you can not do business with somebody, not like bank of america, citigroup, wells fargo, i dont know. You follow orders or there is hell to pay. If think deliver the goods on that, and tighten the spigot on North Koreans, that potential itly leaves the north korean leaves him on a branch here so he can keep doing missile tests here then the screws tighten all the more. Then he is in a whole heap of trouble. Independent journal review White House Reporter erin mcpike. What do you make of all this . Neil, what is really important that the Trump Administration coupled what china said here with the new executive order that expands what the Treasury Department can do in terms of sanctioning other industries that do business with north korea. Neil very good point. Sort of like a onetwo punch, exactly right. I think that is important, over the last couple months, every six weeks or so you see the Treasury Department announce that they are sanctioning six to 10 individuals or companies, generally Coal Companies that do business with north korea. What you hear from a lot in the Defense Community is that those, the specific sanctions dont really have that much teeth to them. They would like to see sanctions say, 150 individuals or companies, rather than six to 10 they do from time to time. It will be important to follow up to see what the Treasury Department does with the executive order, coming from the white house, coming from President Trump. If we see bigger lifts of sanctions over the next three months or so, i always think when people or countries or are pinned against the wall, north korea or china, a lot of types theyre interested in covering their own financial heiny. Sophisticated Financial Talk im sharing with you. When s p late last night downgraded chinas debt, it is still aplus, that is much better than ours by the way, they cited all the credit how theyre taking on a lot of debt and how worrisome that is getting. You have a president saying were not that keen doing that much more business with you. We think youre Getting Better part of this deal than we are. He always said that now he is practicing it. And then using north korea as sort of a wedge to say, you got to change things, or to hell with you. Now, that is economically a problem for china, no matter what it feels about donald trump, no matter what it feels about the United States, you dont need that kind of a headache, do you . No. Obviously, after issuing this threat, obviously china has now acted. I think youre absolutely right though. It is important to see what the follow through is because we will start to see Little Things trickle out, you know about certain deals that still happen, that have some sort of a passthrough with North Koreans. Those will come out one at a time. It will be important to see how the chinese follow up with what they have said here. Neil they have lied before, no disparagement to the chinese. They lied about their economic output. Of course. Neil remember one quarter, we grew at 13 . Come on. So theyre a little creative with their accounting how theyre doing. Now pressure is on. They have to do something, right . They absolutely do. Pressure is on. We will continue to follow this well follow what the Treasury Department in the United States does. I think, the idea that this might not get much coverage, this will then spark everyone to follow up with how these things actually go through. Neil yeah. I am waiting to see how much coverage it gets, meantime. Erin, thank you very, very much. If you like donald trump, do not like donald trump, if you trust chinese, the world can agree the north Korean Leader is a nutcase. This put him in a corner with the United States and for the first time potentially, with china. Well have more after this. At fidelity, trades are now just 4. 95.

And again, i want to just say and Bank President xi of china for the variable may be made today. You do you are it takes a town like ours to grasp the significance of what the president just said they are. Of course, economics and financial matters make it out, but the reason that is a Significant Development is every one of Donald Trumps predecessors in the white house, going back to george bush senior had tried to have the chinese work whatever influence or muscle they could to get the North Koreans to behave, stop the missile testing, stop. There is a point at which the chinese say we are not going to do that. They do a lot of businesses that north korea and secretly a lot of that is funneled through their banks. They do have a central bank and the central bank calls the shots and at the central bank is now studying this has to stop. We dont know the means of which this happening. We dont know the pressure exerted to have been and we know possible china is fine as it has about it numbers in the past. Maybe this is much ado about nothing. President trump has the president to commit to send dean no other u. S. President has been able to do. It is still early. It stops. North korea stops. The loans, transactions, and pass back and forth between our two countries and their member banks support. All of that freezes and stops here that might seem a little nerdy to a lot of you. Frozen bank account. But it could be significant and it just could avoid war. Now youre paying attention and array. No matter what you think of donald trump, that could be a big deal. How did this happen and what does it mean Going Forward to some other initiatives the president had . We know he was working the steel for a while. We know us well the president was trying to exert the utmost pressure saying as he has always said the chinese made us a lot more than we need them even though they buy a lot of our debt to compound things and i suspect this was a development here. Late last night, the s p ratings agency, dont cry for china. They have an a rating which is still pretty high. But it was the first sign an agency that monitors this staff was saying youve got a lot of debt. You are piling on in light of day. The last thing. Blake burman, thats what they call a onetwo punch. The president talking about this angle in which he confirmed the reports which you just laid out, the pressure that china can a central bank has been on within the country to stop dealing with the north korean customers than freezeout or unwind the accounts of current customers, but the president there as he was sitting next to the leaders of south japan giving props and kudos to president xi saying thank you for doing this, we appreciate it, but the president trying to walk a fine line, saying as he unveiled this executive order, hey look, this is. North korea and really no one else in particular. Of course, that being somewhat of a message saying we are not trained to single you out here, but thank you for doing what you did. As for the executive order itself, and the president picked through a couple topline measures in which the targets individuals, company institutions that do business with north korea said that the United States will through the Treasury Department look at other institutions at the north korea to see how maybe they could target those as well. All of this comes back to the country continuing to fire off missiles. The bottom line from President Trump as it related to north korea was for countries all across the world that do business. His message with this. It is either asked or it is then. Foreign banks will face a clear choice for business at the United States or facilitate trade with the lawless regime in north korea. Reporter as the cameras are meeting, the president and the leaders of south korea and japan, President Trump was asked if dialogue is still possible with north korea and he repeated twice coming meal, why not, why not. We will see. Thank you my friend very, very much. Senator mike rounds for the beautiful state of south dakota. What you think of the significance of this and how optimistic are you that the chinese will deliver on this . Its a move in the right direction. One more opportunity to which is economically to begin with. They do business with chinese banks. Some of them are larger than others. We have not gone after the larger ones and we have some smaller ones. This is an opportunity to send a message to the larger chinese bank and that makes an impact on china. The president has recognized the fact he is actually recognizing. He is not doing that because he is trying to help the United States. Hes doing that because he understands the impact in china and he knows right now this is not a stable situation and its very clear the situation in north korea has to be resolved. North korea has the calm of born to china. They wanted stability and now they dont have stability. They also wanted a partner that wasnt necessarily trying to counterfeit their currency. North korea counterfeit currency. They wanted a neighbor who wasnt going to come in and create corruption and opportunities for corruption in and around china. This is for china to clean up and create stability for themselves on that border and recognize the current regime is not doing that. The fact that they are actually working with us, it appears as for their state and works favorably for us at this time. As he suddenly talked about this in the past as well as what you can believe china all the time when they have a doubledigit quarters with 13 , i had no doubt you group doubt you grew. Doubt you group it could not have grown not much. Obviously, some of the material and info we get out of them could be a little suspicious so they can stretch the facts. This is something we can quickly prove they are following up on or not. I hope they can make sure we can because this would be the closest thing to avoiding war with prior president dating back 30 years. Your explanation earlier was as good as they could be and what our options are and if we can bring china and for their own purposes to provide the ability in that area. What they dont want our u. S. Troops on the southern border. Thats what they dont want. They are happy with another country in between. Their first choice would be to stabilize there. The problem now is it is not stable. Trent did you think theyre afraid im sorry, senator. You think they are afraid that created a frank and time by propping up this one a take and continues to fire off missiles and continue to do so that now it is beyond the point of control. Lets do everything we can to prevent money, but this none is out of control. I think its come to that conclusion. Right now he is doing damage to them as well. Hes part of those in the provinces there. China actually had a sponsor program to try to promote business deals in north korea. We actually held testimony and discussion enter Banking Committee about two weeks ago on that particular issue and they tried to get cooperation between north korea and chinese businesses. What they are finding out is the corruption coming out of the regime and the demand on the part of the north korean regime has promoted disruption in that area. They recognize that and that does not have to move forward and eliminate corruption within his own party or within the government in those provinces. Neil do you think its a little bit outside of this discussion, senator, that this tough at the president has taken with an executive order to go after those who do business with north korea appeared across the globe. Will this help the president on things like getting tax cuts through and maybe the health care we worked through or is this an isolated incident, leave it at that to be significant enough to curtail the North Koreans that theres benefits, great. Theres two parts. First of all, the president does a lot of tweeting and so forth. What he says there is an indication of a casual conversation with the public, his action, signing bills, actually creating a constitutional majority on the United States for the majority. Those actions when they are successful like that, that brings them more credibility and gives him the opportunity to leverage that when it comes to negotiating and its a matter of producing the result. And economic relationships with north korea are going to be taken on and feel the pain of this. Thats a positive thing for this administration. Neil thank you for taking the time. We will look at the fallout from all this and understand and try to get appreciation. The dow is down about 3. 5 points, concerned about the s p downgrade as well in their debt level hitting pretty high levels. Nothing like ours on a per capita basis, but i nonetheless. The latest of puerto rico still without power. A lot of people still asking when it will be back. Some of them told how bout was. Its a highly contagious disease that can be really serious. Especially for my precious new grandchild. Its whooping cough. Every family member, including those around new babies, should talk to their doctor or pharmacist about getting vaccinated. Tree and do you know, i dont think in puerto rico that much about china and whether they will help us at the North Koreans and all of that. They are worried about not having power because that is the case for virtually the entire islands. Everybody after maria which is now strengthened to a category three storm. Connell mcshane has the latest. Reporter still a major hurricane. The Dominican Republic and turks and caicos have the ability to deal with this everyday. Absolutely devastating for puerto rico yesterday has to look at the latest track on it. Ive been watching him coming into the newsroom throughout the day today, the worst of the worst, uprooted trees and widespread flooding, more than 11,000 people in shelters around the island. More than anything else comments to power. No electricity at all in puerto rico must have a generator. To assess how bad things are has been difficult. Something President Trump talked about earlier today in new york. Their electrical grid is destroyed. Their electrical grid is totally destroyed and so many other things. We are starting the process now and we will work with the governor of puerto rico, but puerto rico is a whole different category in many ways. Reporter well, the strongest hurricane to hit a more than 80 years can take months to be restored in some spots are being told the president did approve a disaster declaration before maria came to puerto rico. That makes the federal funding available. Fema already spread income heading in in as the storm moves out. Watching today the Prime Minister tani dominicana said at least 15 people are dead there. 20 now missing on the caribbean island and its remarkable where it was before puerto rico to tell you how damaging the storm is. Puerto rico still trying to assess the damage. Neil thank you, connell mcshane. Of course he runs a sandals resort empire. Dutch is what it is youre beautiful and pirate back. You have a lot of beautiful resorts in his entire neck of the woods. How are they holding up . Hello, neil, how are you . We got roughed up in turks and capos. We hope they come back together again, better than before. This has been a rough maria is a rough storm. Neil they were ready for it. They dealt with irma and some of these other sideswiping storms, but then this one came in obviously the flooding and water, how did you handle those that were already vacationing that your resorts, working there, how is it going now . We are ready for these things when they come. It is those strong, our job is to look after aghast, the staff, the communities. We carry out services during the hurricanes. We have 120, 130 . You know power is going to go. In this case. The air conditioning, everything they are. So we survive these storms very well. I will try and help the communities and to get us further. A lot of the communities, turks and capos hot a lot of damage. However, a lot of the damage was ill tell you what. After andrew, the building codes changed for florida. I mean, all the beaches turks and caicos resort and a lot of the turks and capos uses those building chords. In the meantime, a tremendous amount of cleanup. A lot of stuff to make sure the schools up in time, the kids are back to work and get your teams together to fix back home. Make sure theres as much as you can do is done. We have a team come in the outcome and that is so good at this its amazing. We spread out, we are out there in the resorts in the other islands. We bring them in to have six how the government and i think our team does an amazing job away. In the meantime, we have a reopening, but we have had some of the most amazing gas. Then try and help out as much as the staff in so many ways. Neil i am not at all surprised, gordon. I wish you well with the people who work there and of course our vacationing there were opening two very soon. Below, gordon. Thank you for taking the time. Thank you, neil. Neil in the meantime, the president will have a oneonone meeting with the japanese Prime Minister chin so a very soon. Obviously singing for talking diplomacy and talk, talk, talk. That is overburdened and the New York Times editorial, prioritizing diplomacy and exercising the importance of dialogue will not work with north korea. The president pushed one last diplomatic effort here with china, but other u. S. President s have tried and it worked. After this. My friends think doing this at my age is scary. I say not if you protect yourself. What is scary . Pneumococcal pneumonia. Its a serious disease. My doctor said the risk is greater now that im over 50 yeah. Yaha. Just one dose of the prevnar 13® vaccine can help protect you from Pneumococcal Pneumonia an illness that can cause coughing, chest pain, difficulty breathing, and may even put you in the hospital. Prevnar 13® is approved for adults 18 and older to help prevent infections from 13 strains of the bacteria that cause Pneumococcal Pneumonia. You should not receive prevnar 13® if you have had a severe allergic reaction to the vaccine or its ingredients. If you have a weakened immune system, you may have a lower response to the vaccine. The most common side effects were pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site, limited arm movement, fatigue, headache, muscle pain, joint pain, less appetite, vomiting, fever, chills, and rash. Get this one done ask about prevnar 13® at your next visit to your Doctors Office or pharmacy. Neil all right. We are not that far away from a bilateral meeting. This is typical for president s when you have the u. N. In town. This president having a quite a few of these meetings. The urgency with north korea. But when they have a meeting to talk to the press afterward, of course we will take you to that. What is getting all the buzz right now is certainly the financial circles, significance of the chinese doing something prior president s have tried for the better part of three decades to get china to intervene on our behalf to calm the North Koreans down, get them over this nuclear fixation increase the funding they have laura please try to and that apparently succeeded or the president outlining the plan with the chinese border at the boss of all their banks, not like our Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve can say how many reserves to keep on hand. That is very different in china where they can so just stop it. They are told when it comes to north korea, just stop. All of our banks, just stop dealing with north korea. Former Navy Seal Commander dave sears. The devil is in the details i am sure. What do you think of this and whether the chinese will keep her word . I think its good news. Definitely a step in the right direction. Still up for that they have to take. But they keep their word . I believe they will. Chinas calculus is changing. China was never really in their interest to counter north korea because they maintain some stability in the region. Now that calculus is changing. He said that so much better than i. The one thing i do wonder, though, is whether its too late. I dont want to be cynical or jaded, but is north korea so overboard but its got what it means to continue doing what its doing . What do you think . I think they do have what they need or that is for the military option piece comes in. Im not just talking about some preemptive strike. Im talking about Ballistic Missile defense primarily. Thats a huge one. We have to demonstrate the capability if they do pursue this path. Republican National Effort behind Ballistic Missile defense. Lets say they launched another missile. I always love these particular pictures because it looks like hes at the academy awards. Hes not. Hes at the china legislative assembly. One of the things hes been doing that being the na, the sophistication of these missiles further and further more powerful and is well along on that process here. The chinese themselves are worried about it to the point that now they are concerned for their region. Probably too late, but how militarily does that free up our options on whether the chinese seem to be just as concerned. For example, if we shoot down one of their missiles on the next launch, would that be deemed a provocative act on the part of the chinese . I believe like all things in diplomacy and International Relations you have to begin establishing a narrative and talk to the chinese and let them know this is a defensive measure. We cant guarantee where the missile is going to mow it cant guarantee its payload is. This is a defensive measure and we should put it that way. Leaving their International Airspace and going into other International Airspace as a danger to shipping, aircraft and we are in our rates to shoot it down. Start using that narrative. Neil we started with china. We havent mentioned russia. We havent got a comment with russia. Of course you taught them helping north korea in their own way. What do we do with the iranians and especially signs we are getting very close to ripping up the agreement . What do you think . Iran is nearing north korea. They are watching all this occurred. Where we are right as we kick the can down the road. Look at the agreement, the five plus one agreement, basically it was never intended to prevent iran from getting a nuclear weapon. It is meant to kick the can down the road. Thats how its established. Its ridiculous. We need to revisit it, throat in a shorter put harsher pieces on it. Thats very difficult. Neil thank you for your service to this country. Former Navy Seal Commander. Thank you. Neil the Federal Reserve meanwhile is in the middle of unloading for . 2 trillion. The belief seems to be that once i start, Interest Rates are going to pick up. We will see. Parodontax, the toothpaste that helps prevent bleeding gums. If you spit blood when you brush or floss you may have gum problems and could be on the journey to much worse. Help stop the journey of gum disease. Try parodontax toothpaste. Neil all right. I think this is a bilateral meeting with the Prime Minister of that country. The president now speaking. On trade anonymously very importantly discussing the details of north korea with also south korea. So, we will continue to dialogue your relationship with japan and the United States and it will continue on without way. I look forward to discussing some things that the group is here specifically to discuss and we will be reporting back to you later. Thank you all very much. You heard about what china was doing today in terms of the Banking System. It was a tremendous move and we have Great Respect and we also would like to thank president xi of china. That was a great and he did today. Thank you very much. [speaking in native tongue] [speaking in native tongue] [speaking in native tongue] translator i would like to express my heartfelt appreciation to donald. First of all, in your remarks to the u. N. General assembly, [inaudible] and for the parents as well as for the family members of those who have been abducted by north korea. Your message was very, very encouraging and i do appreciate your letter. [speaking in native tongue] [speaking in native tongue] translator for us, the key is to change the policy of north korea and dialogue for the state of dialogue would not produce anything, that he at this moment is to exercise and apply pressure for north korea and to gather with donald, we have successfully demonstrating our strong will to exercise pressure against north korea and that is actually the implication of the International Community to address this challenge. I assume making every effort with you and also with other members of the International Community of north korea. [speaking in native tongue] translator so today i very much look forward to our discussion with a focus on the issue of north korea and other issues and by doing not giving hope to solidify our alliance and partnership. Mr. President , can you answer questions for people with preexisting conditions . Neil all right. There is a quick question shouted out about the latest grahamcassidy measure, from the president covered for preexisting conditions. The president treated out he would not sign grahamcassidy. If they did not include coverage for such preexisting conditions. That was not the just store the focus of this brief interlude with the price him in the japanese Prime Minister were they up the ante on the pressure to cease and desist Nuclear Missile conversations and other president had failed at doing and that is to get the chinese to play ball and exert pressure on North Koreans in a way that it never been achieved before to get the chinese Banking System to stop doing anything with north korea. Other individual banks have been sighted in the past. It does little good because its like cockroaches of money. Find another place and another avenue in the money isnt going to North Koreans. The chinese getting their word they will crack down through the central bank is sending out the marching orders that no financial institution, remember controls all the strings to do any business with pyongyang. To market watchers, the wall street Journal Editorial Board member, maxims. Com cofounder, let me get your take on the significance of this. Much depends on whether the chinese made good on this and honestly follow through on this. It would appear they wouldnt because it would be increasingly in their interest. What do you think . It in their interest at this point as they are more and more about a global player, especially with the debt downgrade, the money they borrow from everybody else did they play by the rules may be than 10 years ago, 20 years ago before they were such big our worst. That makes you a big player in the Global Financial market. Neil one way to see the markets buffeted if you look like the chinese were doing squat and this was escalating quickly towards war, but do you think this is going to deliver the goods . Would you think . Is that to make him a meal . Neil yes, it is. I apologize. They will always continue to walk that fine line. They want to control the economy. They dont want to let go of any Political Freedom and Economic Freedom always has a link to eventual Political Freedom. So you know, they are going to do what they have to do to keep growing and edge their way into continuing to be a world player in the world economy. But they are going to do as little as possible i think in terms of really letting the economy be more free so that they can control the political scene. Neil we can talk about banking and the two shins and all of this, but the goal here is to avoid millions of people if you think about it. The goal is to avoid what could easily turn into world war iii. Can the financial pressure be such that even dealing with the craziest of rogue regimes, this can do the trick, this can avoid just about . I dont know. Im not the worlds foremost authority on north korea by any means, but it does seem the great question here is what is the nature of chinas influence and how do they exert it . It doesnt seem to me that day and the way they conduct themselves on the world stage would be willing to have sort of a crazed pit bull that they have no control over sitting out on the front porch. And yeah, that is kind of what its been like. You can say gee can say gee, it would only crack down on the financial things. You have the worlds third most powerful military sitting on the doorstep of the nutty little guy and that doesnt seem, if that can control them i dont know how banking sanctions will. The problem is china has no interest in seeing that peninsula go the way of south korea. They have a certain interest in keeping that nutty little guy they are. They dont want him to be nuclear. But they want him to be sort of a counterbalance to south korea and to the u. S. Neil i think you are right. They will be happy doing that, just dont be too agitating. Of course we will see how this proceeds here. But if this president can somehow find a way through the chinese, the rather sanctions to avoid this festering, do you think it helps him in other areas come in the areas that markets are focused on like tax cuts, like maybe yet another repeal effort of obamacare . What do you think . Know what he would be more happy if americans not get involved and let other countries take other problems like hillary probably would have been in these areas. If you can get the chinese to take care of it, thats a win on domestic issues. I was wonder china has benefits to having regions they are an economic decay because it makes them essentially more powerful economically and politically. North korea was twice as big. You always want to know what their angle is there. Its a win if we dont have to get involved in to the police force of that region. Not become a superpower either taking over that area. Neil i want to thank you very much. We are keeping eyes on development and what confessions were made to get the chinese to this point or whether they will deliver on that. We also want to focus on whats going on in the cornwall. Apple shares selling off, running right now on the latest concerns about the new watch, the ones of the capabilities that do a lot of stuff on its own. The problem apparently is it is not. Kind of sickening. After this. As master sergeant. They really appreciate the military family, and it really shows. Weve got auto insurance, homeowners insurance. Had an accident with a vehicle, i actually called usaa before we called the police. Usaa was there handson very quick very prompt.

The world of fast food is being changed by faster networks. Data, applications, customer experience. Which is why comcast business delivers Consistent Network Performance and speed across all your locations. Fast connections everywhere. Thats how you outmaneuver. Neil all right. Apple with the fancy new watch, doesnt have to be tethered to the phonon that was the big draw to it. No such patches for those wanting to buy the stock however. Hillary gone with the latest on whats going on. Hillary. Apples new watch is hitting stores tomorrow, but the biggest selling point to make calls on the go doesnt work 100 of the time and you are right. Apple shares down two days in a row and respond to hitting the lowest level in over 50 days and knocking out 20 points out that out. Apple confirmed that the watch with lte has trouble using it out connection when it tries to join an unauthenticated wifi network. Heres what this really means for consumers. But do you take your apple watch on a quick coffee run. If you connected to the wifi before another device coming your apple watch will recognize it and try to join the network. If they have a splash page or require some more authentication, your apple watch wont be able to connect and it also wont switch over to lte. Apple tells me they are trying to fix it as soon as possible, but no timeline yet on when an update will be released. User should know the update is about fixing the wifi glitch. Its not going to give users better cell connection on this apple watch. I dont have any problem with the aid comes out, but no indications yet of problems they are. Right. No indications yet. A lot of this surrounding the apple watch about this transfer between lte and wifi in the reason the apple watch tumbled between the two is the same battery life. Another thing that has received scrutiny that have been able to test this out before it hits stores tomorrow. Neil hillary coming thank you very much. Gerri willis on some other developments. The sec now disclosing a hack attack. This one involving a lot of questionable trades. What the latest . On the heels of equifax, an 11 page missive written by the sec chairman jay clayton revealing a hack of a thinker database familiar to any business journalists come a place you go to see public filing. Page three of the statement describes the agencies were cybersecurity risks and clayton wrote to us. In august 2017, the commission learned in incident previously detected in 2016 may have provided the basis for illicit gain through training specifically a software vulnerability. The past filing component of our system was exploited and access to nonpublic info. The chair says the vulnerability was later patched and continues to investigate the source of the hack working with authorities at the revelation raises questions about whether hackers use the filing to gain a trading advantage over other investors in illegal profits. I reached out to the sec today for details like what nonpublic info was taken or why did it take so long to announce . No further details were shared are also learning u. S. Homeland Security Officials found out about the critical cybersecurity weaknesses in january. As i toss it back to you, the gao also said the sec was not always encrypting everything, not even Sensitive Information and they used Unsupported Software two months ago. Back to you. Neil aqua facts still an issue right now. In fact, kind of checking things out months before this was apparently detected. Deirdre bolton with more on this. The hits keep on coming. I have a hard time believing this could exist or that could be wrong a year from now because as you mentioned there were two acts last march, then a huge mega one that affected 40 of the American Population this past summer and cybersecurity experts all along the way saying you have vulnerabilities. Heres some suggestions on how to fix them, the end result is basically 140 million americans had personal data. The perfect blueprint for people to impersonate you, opening a credit card, making a big mess of our credit because the summit kelly wright and indeed they are not so worried about you. Neil are there a lot of cases about going on proving they did steal it in some people are running around crazy doing that . They have not seen a big notch coming up yet for sale, which does make experts think this was a state run. Neil that would be the first thing you look for. There are scammers, what i would call smalltime scammers to pick up on the flow of call people and say i am from aqua facts, give me your data. As we covered, do not give anyone your data. There is no reason for equifax to call you. Just hang up the phone. The assorted scammers are really clever. They can actually make their phone ideas look as if its coming from equifax. The crazier thing happening now is equifax has come out and said maybe freeze your credit. Even if you go to one Software Developer who built a fake site using the equifax name and tons of people for weeks were going on this fake site. The silver lining, thank goodness, the Software Developer, not a bad that are, he was just doing it to prove a point. The equifax was on twitter saying go to this site. When a Software Developer came back inside you realize youre posting a fake site . Sorry for the confusion, heres the site.
