All right. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke bolduan. Thank you for being with me. The America First president meets the United Nations, and any moment now on the sidelines President Trump will sit down with the french president emanuel macron, President Trump a longtime critic of the United Nations has only been at the General Assembly for a couple of hours today and has plugged one of his properties and told diplomats to pay up. In recent years the United Nations has not reached its full potential because of bureaucracy and mismanagement while the United Nations on a regular budget has increased by 140 and its staff has more than doubled since 2000, we are not seeing the results in line with this investment. President trump may have mocked the u. N. In the past, but this week he is there to ask for help in dealing with north korea and the countrys leader who he just referred to on twitter as the rocket man. So i have brian caron standing by, cnn political analyst and x executive editor for the sentinel newspaper. In listening to the president over the last couple of hours, you know, talk to me about the president s message and how you think hes done so far . His message, of course, hes a businessman and hes trying to address the business side of the United Nations and its not really a business. So hes kind of in conflict there. I think hes remained state and stoic, hopefully on script, but there could be a twitter storm and twitter litter at any moment and heaven only knows. The thing that hes facing as he goes there is the problems with north korea, iran and the far east. Weve had natural disasters and weve had natural disasters in mexico and what hes also facing more than that is the consternation and concern for the third world that as hes asking for more accountability were putting less into the u. N. And the very idea of trying to fight terrorism while at the same time hurting the least of our brothers who had not enough to even feed themselves will actually create more terrorism. So hes got quite a few member of a Little Things hes got to deal with while hes at the u. N. And he has a speech tomorrow morning and during that speech, many people are hoping that he stays on script and well see what happens if he goes on script and starts ad libbing, there could be history made at the u. N. Tomorrow morning. The world will be watching and the speech will be at 10 30 a. M. Eastern. We mentioned north korea a second ago. He likes his nicknames as we remember to the different nicknames from from the campaign trail and hes added one for kim jongun out of pyongyang referring to him as rocket man over twitter. What, brian, whats the impact of that . Well, thats i mean, at some point in time you have to remain a little bit president ial. I imagine bernie and elton john are not too happy with him using the term, but maybe he is burning his fuse up there alone, but the thing is that really, at some point in time has he said he could be president ial he has to actually do it and when youre undercutting efforts, diplomatic efforts, internationally by just chiding north korea with that kind of neck name, i mean, can you imagine if i dont know, roosevelt had said hitler was a doodihead before we started world war ii . Its very childish. Its not president ial and it doesnt do anybody any good. I know. I know. Well talk in a moment with some ladies about the retweet over the weekend of the golf ball, you know, which again, raises questions and senator Dianne Feinstein questioning, obviously, just why he would do that being the president of the United States, but let me talk to you since were on the u. N. And on iran that the iranian president telling cnn that the u. S. Will pay the price for killing a nuclear deal. The pay the price. How will that sit with President Trump . Well, i mean, thats more rhetoric. Well up the rhetoric. We have been very good with rhetoric, but it keeps you from actually reaching deals when the rhetoric is so hot and so flamboyant. So you expect that out of iran. You expect it out of north korea and you dont expect the United States to respond in kind. You expect us to be the big brother, us to be the adult in the room so hopefully we will respond as the adult in the room. There are real consequences involved in this, whether its e ran or north korea and if we continue to only engage in rhetoric and a rhetorical battle that gets us nowhere, were the ones that are going to suffer and when iran says what iran says you have to realize the source and you cant play to the children in the room. Brian cam, thank you so much for weighing in on all things u. N. Lets also talk weather. Were keeping a close eye on the atlantic right now as another major hurricane is headed straight for a regional ready just devastated by the most recent one. Now were talking about Hurricane Maria following very close to that same, destructive path of Hurricane Irma and is quickly gaining strength. It is now one of three named storms churning down in the atlantic. Meteorologist Allison Chinchar is in the cnn Weather Center for us. Not again, not again. Right, brooke. I imagine some of those folks hit by irma never pulled the plywood off the windows. Might as well leave it and wait out maria because as you mentioned, its going to be going through and impacting some of the same countries just hit by irma. Right now irma maintains its strength as a category 3. We are only 5 Miles Per Hour off from being a category 4 and we expect to to strengthen up to that level within about the next 24 hours. Here you can see it kind of crosses over places like martinique, dommenica and guadaloup, and the exact area of landfall depending on whether it shifts farther to the north more than it does west, and the point is all three of those countries are still expecting incredibly dangerous impacts in the form of heavy rain, in the form of strong winds and in the form of potential mudslides and then the track goes from the north and west impacting places like puerto rico, Dominican Republic and turks and caicos and the exact landfall and the point may vary slightly, but they both say its going to hit puerto rico. Its after that they start to see the big split and the european model takes it out over open water into the atlantic. The american model and the red color you see here has it pushing closer to the United States. The reason for that, a High Pressure. This High Pressure right here, the one thats been already steering the track. If it continues to stay where it is, it will push off to the north, but if that high begins to shift further to the west, its going to also push maria out to the west. So something we will have to keep a very close eye on over the next seven to ten days, brooke . Allison, thank you so much. Also just in, a top Democrat California senator Dianne Feinstein just called out President Trump and ordered him to, in two words, grow up. He publicly chastised the president that depicted violence against his former campaign rival Hillary Clinton and this is the President Trump teeoff and off the golf ball goes and smacks her in the back and she falls down there on the plane. Let me read for you in its entirety, senator Dianne Feinsteins statement, quote, the president s sunday morning tweet of depicting an attack on Hillary Clinton is appalling and disgusting. He continues to obsessively lash out at her, at his rallies with his words and now through social media in a manner that is utterly unbecoming of the president of the United States. Every one of us should be offended by the vindictive and candidly dangerous messages the president sends that demean not only secretary clinton, but also women. She closes with grow up and do your job. With me now, Julie Hirschfield davis cnn political analyst and White House Reporter for the New York Times. Brianna keilar, cnn White House Correspondent and april ryan, cnn political analyst with the american urban radio network. Ladies, good to have you on. Brianna, to you first on senator feinsteins statement wow. What jumped out at you the most . The grow up piece or hes above this . I think maybe the grow up piece. I think, well, also the headline and the dangerous obsession which he certainly has an obsession, right . Hes always coming back to Hillary Clinton on these things. Yep. But the grow up and do your job, she may have said that publicly or in writing there, but i think there are a lot of people including many in Donald Trumps own party who completely agree with that because this is a big week for donald trump with the u. N. General assembly. Huge week. That is what he should be trying to keep the focus and instead people are looking at what is a totally jerk move for him to retweet this, and i have the alerts that come up on my phone, i dont know if you do, brooke, and it was retweeted and i looked at the twitter handle which i cant say on air, and i thought, oh, my goodness, really . Im constantly having these really moments and that was one of the ones i had in looking at the tweet that he retweeted. Totally agree with you. It is a jerk move and julie, again, we cant crawl into the president s head and understand the why piece, right . That train left the station, but its this is a big week for him to breannas point. Hes giving this massive speech in front of the u. N. General assembly and what part of him thinks this is okay . Well, i think youre right. You cant get into the president s head, but we have seen this him do this and its a pattern of behavior by this president that particularly when he feels he is painted into a corner or somehow criticized unfairly he will lash out and we just came off of a week when Hillary Clinton was out there promoting her book back again and we were talking about the 2016 campaign again and he was at bedminster and he has no experience with this kind of diplomacy and no experience with this kind of a large forum and him playing such a vital role or the United States playing such a vital role in the world stage and hes the representative, it may be that he just felt that this was he was tickled by this and this was a way of him blowing off steam, but no question that it has raised questions among republicans and even people in his own staff who see these things and they kind of roll their eyes no matter what message hes trying to send be it domestically or on the world stage, retweeting Something Like this and seeming to take joy in a message like this is just not helpful for the president. April, i know you covered the president and i want your two cents on this, too. I also wonder, youre there in washington, do you think other members of ng can, the president s own party and i say women and men, congressmen and women speaking up about it a la Dianne Feinstein. People are scared particularly of this president s party to speak up against him because they will get a tweet, a nasty tweet, and ive heard many republicans say that this was childish. Not only is it childish, it shows he does not understand the magnitude and the majesty of the office that he holds and it makes you wonder, brooke, it makes you wonder about his sub conscious. Why pick on someone who was your opponent when you clearly won, and it makes you wonder does he really believe that he is suited for this job in the midst of walking into this major internationalfocused week and whereas you had Hillary Clinton who was the former u. S. Secretary of state where she was a u. S. Senator where she dealt with these kinds of issues. It puts a glaring spotlight to me, just the tweet alone and the fact that hes tweeting about her and doing this childish prank, this High School Prank on Hillary Clinton that he may feel uncomfortable going into this week. It just begs a lot of questions. Briana, thinking of Hillary Clinton. Today on npr, apparently Hillary Clinton has said that she, quote, would not rule out questioning the legitimacy of a 2016 election if the russian interference is actually deeper than currently known. What do you make of that . You cover her. Yes. This is something that really bothers her, and even when you look at the reasons that Hillary Clinton lost and they are varied and they are numerous, this is one that really, of course, sticks in her craw, and so saying there that she doesnt or that she would question it if this went deeper, the problem with that is theres really no way to quantify what the interference was to votes, right . Thats the difficulty in it. So she then would be questioning the legitimacy of donald trump as president which you know, obviously, is something that would really bother him, but i think this is something that she believes is very real. I think she believes that it is something that potentially did cost her the election and i think it really speaks to where she thinks the causes of her loss lie. Ladies, do me a favor and stick around. I have more i want to ask of you including last night, emmys, sean spicer. What did we think of him coming on stage with his podium and making jokes about lying about crowd sizes, a punchline. Was it outrageous . Was it funny . Well discuss that as he tries to repair his battered image and well talk live about the reporter who overheard the conversation between two of the president s lawyers openly griping about the russia investigation sitting outside of a d. C. Restaurant and why hes reporting that white house officials are worried their colleagues might be wired. Im brooke bolduan. Youre watching cnn. Oh, you brought butch. Yeah butch growls at man hes looking at me right now, isnt he . Yup. butch barks at man butch is like an old soul that just hates my guts. laughs well come to these live pictures. We will see them in just a moment. President trump sitting in a meeting with the president of france, president macron here at the United Nations. Lets see, ill just stop talking and see what we hear. [ inaudible ] thank you very much, everybody. It is a great honor to be with the president macron of france who one of the greatest election victory was all time. I will tell you, that was an exciting evening, and i must say that i watched every moment of it. It was a very, very exciting time. Hes doing a terrific job in france. Hes doing what has to be done. Hes respected by the french people, and i can tell you hes respected by the people of the United States. So we have a lot of things to talk about. Well be discussing many different elements. Im not sure we should discuss all of it with the media, but they probably know before we know. I just want to thank you all for being here. I want to thank your representatives for being here many of whom i know already and we will have very productive meetings. France is a great country, its a beautiful country. I wont soon forget our din ner on top of the eiffel tower where we got to know our families and thank you very much. Thank you, donald. Thank you, everybody. I will say a few words i mean, i totally concur, and i will say a few words in french for the french people here. [ speaking Foreign Language ] these are just the moments and these are the windows that we have to the likes of the president here and others throughout the rest of the week as the world has really gathered here in new york with some exceptions, some heads of state for the u. N. General assembly. I have julie, brianna and april standing by. Julie, let me ask you. France is a good, good friend of the United States. We think of the previous moments captured on camera between these two men and the famous whiteknuckled handshake. The two seem to get on quite well, though, and this is just one moment of so many that the president will have this week. His first, right, as president during a week like this. No question. Their relationship seems to be a lot better than it initially did. The body language is much more sort of comfortable ever since President Trump went and visited paris over the summer. They seemed to really have a little bit more of a personal rapport and they certainly seem to get along. They do have a lot of issues dividing them, you know sorry, julie. Lets listen back in. I think theyre back in english. Hang on. It was two hours on the button and it was a tremendous thing for france and for the spirit of france and people dont know what great warriors they are in france and when you see that and you see the victories, it was a tremendous thing and to a large extent because of what i witnessed we may do Something Like that in july 4th in washington, down pennsylvania. I dont know. Well have to try and top it, but we had a lot of planes going over and we had a lot of military might, and it was really a beautiful thing to see. It had representatives from different wars and different uniforms. It was really so well done, but i came back and one of my early calls were i think well have to start looking at that ourselves. So were actually thinking about fourth of july, pennsylvania avenue, having a really great parade to show our military strength. We are spending this year 700 billion more than weve ever spent on our military which is a good news for france, and i think we really are looking forward to doing that. I am speaking with general kelly and with all of the people involved and well see if we can do it this year, but we certainly will be beginning to do that, so i appreciate it. Most importantly, i appreciate you being here. Thank you very much. Thank you. And i have to say just for the American People that our people in france were very proud to have you and your wife melania for bastille day, and people were proud to have you in front of them and thanks very much. I was glad to be there and also when emanuel called mead and he said its the one time of year, in terms of timing for the world war. 100 years. I said thats a very important period so we went and i was very proud to say that we are very, very, very good friends with france. That was a Beautiful Day and thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Thank you very much. What are your plans with regard thank you all very much. Thank you. Mr. President , your plans on the paris climate accords . All right. Looks like thats all weve got. You heard the question about pulling out of the paris climate accord. It looks like pulling the plug, lights out on the two of them talking and i have julia Hirschfield Davis and Brianna Keilar and april ryan. Forgive me, we were dancing back and forth with the english and the french. To put a button on the point, the president had gone over to be with macron and the first lady over there. It seemed he was really wowed by the pomp and circumstance that was bastille day and all those celebrations and those two days in france. Right. And you heard him talk about how he wants to have a military parade just like that and how much he enjoyed seeing all their manifestation of frances military might, and i feel like they bonded over that, but as you heard from the questions that were shouted on the end, they are still divided on the very important thing, the iran deal and the paris climate accord, the other. Lets talk about sean spicer. He made quite the debut during last nights emmy awards. Heres a clip. Unfortunately, we have no way of knowing how big our audience is. Is there anyone who can say how big the audience is. Sean, do you know . [ laughter ] [ applause ] this will be the largest audience to witness an emmys period both in person and around the world. Wow that really soothes my fragile ego. I can understand why hed want one of these guys around. Melissa mccarthy, everybody give it up and then the cut with Melissa Mccarthy and the look on her face. April ryan, you are in the White House Press corps. You asked many a question of sean spicer. Did you find that funny . No. Not at all. I actually felt sorry for sean last night. I couldnt believe it when i saw it and let me explain why. Sean has left the white house. Weve heard Many Television networks say theyre not going to hire hem as a contributor. Sean is viewed as someone who lied. Sean told everyone theres fake news that hes now going to to get a job and theyre not hiring him so it looks like theyre trying to rebrand him, change his image, but theres a lot of healing that needs to take place or redemption that needs to happen on his part. You know, thats the highest office in the land, and when you purposefully go out and change the facts or support something thats not true peoples lives are on the line every day and those issues about lives are in that building and to lie is something deep and to make a joke about that, people are still very hurt about it, and you know, i think last night colbert kept jabbing at him because he even called him after he left the stage called him the wizard of lies. He was used as the butt of the joke. He i dont know. It just fell on deaf ears, and i was i felt bad for him last night. I hear you. I hear you on that. Let me add this one nugget. The New York Times apparently has interviewed sean spicer and sean spicer says he regrets berating reporters over the inauguration crowd sizes. Oh, really . I that just is the kind of nuts to me because if you regret that then you go on the emmys and you make a big laugh out of knowingly lying to the American People who have trust in you and who are paying your salary, quite frankly. Its not like lols after that. You know . Theres no lulls. Its not funny. That wasnt the only thing he lied about either, yeah. Hollywood seemed to find it funny at the emmys, but i thought it was just sort of sad, as you said you felt sorry for sean. I agree with you on that, april. It seems like he sort of liked the attention and the celebrity, but i thought it was sad. Well have to read the rest of glens piece. It just posted on the New York Times. He needs to apologize more for other things, too. Shaking the head, calling Tara Palmieri an idiot. Yeah, he needs to yeah. Ladies, thank you very much. Thank you. Bye. Coming up next, the reporter who overheard a conversation between two of the president s lawyers sitting outside at his table in a d. C. Restaurant. His reporting on what the conversation revealed about the russia investigation and worries maybe among staffers about wiretaps at the white house. Well be right back.

Whole foods market. Welcome back. Youre watching cnn. Im brooke bolduan. You have these Trump Lawyers speaking very openly, apparently loudly over lunch in public in a popular washington, d. C. , restaurant. Theyre talking about inside stuff about the russian probe, about fierce coworkers maybe wearing wires and who do you suppose they just happened to be sitting next to . New york times reporter ken vogel. Tie cobb and johns personal lawyer john dowd as they were sitting there in a public space eating lunch and talking very, very loudly. Ken vogel is joining me now from washington. You were sitting there and got the picture and the whole deal. Can you just tell me, how did you were obviously sitting very closely. How did you realize who these people were and that this was going to be this huge scoop in the public place . Yeah, brooke, i actually was having lunch with a source and the source noticeded that these two gentlemen came in and the source said isnt it that guy ty cob . With the mustache . Hes a pretty distinctive dude. Hes not going to go unnoticed in washington particularly a restaurant that is frequented not just lobbyists and lawyers, but reporters. I should point out the restaurant is 171 feet away from the New York Times Washington Bureau and not the best place to have this conversation and nonetheless, were sitting there with the source and we finished up our lunch and the source got up to leave and wanted to know if i was walking out. I said you know what . I think ill just stick around here for a few minutes and proceeded to sit there and drank a few more iced teas and really had to go to the bathroom and continued taking notes as they continued this conversation not with just me and the wait staff and sensitive stuff, as you pointed out, dealing with executive priviledge and document production and tensions within the legal team and when this got back to the white house because we started calling people and asking them about not just the substance of it, but we revealed to them that this is how we knew that these were issues that were up for debate, that precipitated a conversation which don mcgahn, the white House Counsel and the chief of staff called out ty cobb for being so careless with this very sensitive information. Okay. Lets back up a couple of steps just to what you were overhearing in the substance of this piece that you writeup. A piece of this conversation you hear ty cobb talking about Don Mcgahn White House Counsel and has Important Documents locked away in a safe. Obviously, you and i have no idea what those documents contain, but why would they be in a safe . What would that signal to you or legal minds . I dont know, necessarily that its not unusual that a lawyer who would be handling topsecret, classified information would have documents in a safe. That said, the fact that ty cobb was singling out that there were these documents in a safe in the context of a broader conversation about document production and different approaches to document production where cobb wanted there to be more disclosure of documents and mcgahn wanted there to be less disclosure or a more careful review of those documents before they were disclosed certainly suggests that ty cobb believed that these documents in the safe were somehow critical and should be turned over to muler and that mcgahn did not. We dont know what these documents are. All we know is there is a potential debate about that. As you explain in the piece, ty cobb is more of the school of thought lets just turn it all over and get this thing over with more quickly which is in contrast to what don mcgahn says. Theres also a line in the piece, ken, where you hear talk of, of course, fears or tensions within the white house and so some people are worried that some people may be miked for bob mueller. Why . Yeah. I mean, well, if you think about it, brooke, you have a number of lawyers who are working ostensibly on the same side, that is, theyre working for trump, trumps associates, the office of the president in as they handle this mueller probe. That said, theyre competing imperatives here. Its not necessarily in Jared Kushners interest for Paul Manafort to present information and vice versa. So you have people who serve different roles and there is suspicion about not just this issue of document production and who might be, we hear concern that there might be efforts to flip Paul Manafort, for instance or mike flynn and get them to talk about what they know about the trump campaign. So you have a lawyer who represents a Paul Manafort or a Jared Kushner and theyre in opposition to each other in some way and yet they have to Work Together to some extent and thats where you have the potential for distrust at most, i dont want to use the word paranoid, but its more so a suspicious extent could result in people being concerned that someone might be, if not wearing a wire at least revealing contents of these conversations to investigators. Extraordinary. Learning lessons for lawyers all around washington, d. C. , ken vogel, thank you so much. Thank you so much. Coming up next here, it is repeal and replace coming back. The Arizona Governor has just backed a republican plan to overturn obamacare. How might that influence a very important republican in senator mckaine and also the Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell pushing for a vote later in the month and well get into all of that. Hes in charge of a Nuclear Armed north korea and kim john ungetting a nickname from the president invoking an elton john song. Nce plan whenever you want. No enrollment window. No waiting to apply.

Lindsay graham and bill cassidy are pushing this bill to get rid of the Affordable Care act. What it would do is put the burden of health care back on the states depending on who you talk to, its a long shot, but sponsors of the bill insist theyre closing in on the votes. Moments ago the bill picking up an important endorsement by the Arizona Governor, doug ducey announcing his support for the legislation saying Graham Cassidy is the best path forward to repeal and replace obamacare, and youre thinking why is this germane . It is because senator mccain, arizona, has indicated his decision will depend a lot on what the governor says. Joining me to discuss this i have new york congressman tom reed with me, a republican. Welcome to cnn. Great to be here. Thanks, brooke. You know the deal with votes and what they need. I guess, collins and paul, theyre out so it comes down to even if mccain, depending on it sounds like how the Arizona Governor is going, its Lisa Murkowski who says shes still looking at it, hail mary, congressman, is this thing going to go anywhere . The clock is ticking and the senate has to act. Obviously, ill believe it when i see it given the nature of where the senates been. If they can move it well have to deal with it in the house, but at the present time its up to the senate. On dealing with it in the house piece. If they pass it and we know because of reconciliation and because of whatever version comes through the senate, the house would have to sign off without any changes. Pretty much. We know what it looked like and the different iterations before the big celebration in the rose garden. Do you think that that is within the realm of i think its too soon to tell. You have to see what comes out of the senate and what the final product looks like and what are the amendments going to do to it and i dont know if theyll try to bypass that, as we speak and bottom line is there were provisions in the bill i supported at the local level here in the state of new york, and thats critical to my constituents and i know thats not in this package and were starting to see things in it that are concerning, but i never will judge a bill until i see the final details of it. What you really care about is tax reform. I really do. You really care about tax reform and you met with the president last week at the white house about this. Did he seem more versed on tax reform than health care . You know, absolutely, i think this is something that he has been involved with. He knows the tax code intimately and with being a businessman and being the dealmaker that he is out of new york city here, and i think this is definitely something. Hes got a great feel about, and i think hes going to be a great partner to get this to the finish line and by reaching across the aisle, i think that gives us a higher like he head of success to get it done for the American People. What about north korea, just in case you havent seen this, the president tweeted over the weekend and we know about the tensions. He tweets i spoke with president moon of south korea last night and asked him how rocket man was doing and long lines for gas in north korea. Too bad. This is a very serious, serious story and to hear the president reference kim john unas rocket man, all jokes aside, is that appropriate . In the day of social media and type of Foreign Policy ill let people judge that and were dealing with a grave situation and putting a spotlight on north korea, the way the president has done and raised the profile of this to the grave nature that it is, i think it is appropriate. Obviously, we each have our styles of dealing with Foreign Policy and i would go a different path, but at the end of the day were talking about a serious situation. Were talking about it now and its being brought to the attention of the American People and it is a grave risk to us here on america with our fellow citizens. Kim jongun is no one knows what hes thinking and what he might do next. So the notion of belittling him by calling him rocket man, is that dangerous .

We are keeping a close watch on atlantic has another hurricane heading to a region devastated by the last one. Now we are watching Hurricane Maria following the destructive path. Quickly maria is gaining strength and one of three main storms churning in the atlantic. Maria taking direct aim at puerto rico. Lets go straight to san juan our correspondent there is standing by live. Leyla, whats happening there . Reporter well, a lot of people are getting ready right now, brooke, you know, there are no schools open today. Yet you still see a lot of traffic, even on this gorgeous day here in puerto rico because a lot of people are heading up to those stores trying to get last minute supplies. And when you think about the timing of this for this island, you know, very interesting. A lot of factors playing a role here. There is still 62,000 clients without power right now since irma came through. And really the power system took quite a hit. A power system that is already vulnerable given the economic crisis this island is in. And even though there wasnt power for days for a lot of people, puerto rico really opened its arms and took in a lot of ee vac evacuates from ot islands. I went to the town and they had a lot of people from evacuated from caribbean given the aftermath of irma. And now they are waiting here waiting to see what comes next from maria. That is taking a direct aim, as you said, to puerto rico. So not only has power been a situation, could be another situation. Maria is certainly threatening puerto rico. When i spoke to a group of people within the last hour, i said what do you think the bigger threat was here, irma category 5 or maria category 3 expected to be category 4 to this island, there was no hesitation, all three of them immediately said this is a threat. This could wife pe us out and w dont have the resources. That said, the governor has state of emergency, requested a state of emergency from the United States. Fema is on ground. And they do seem to be working to the. We have to wait and see exactly what maria does. Although talking to people here, there is a lot of fear of whats to come. Just to think of all those people in that convention center, as you mentioned from the last goaround, and do they wait it out in puerto rico watching this thing as power is already an issue already. Leyla, thank you. Ill check back in you with tomorrow ahead of maria. And just a quick programming vote before we go. This friday at 10 00 p. M. A special report we are calling it twitter and trump.
