Winds are down to 130 Miles Per Hour. Thats just onemileperhour away from category 3 status, and the gusts are down to 160. I cant believe i even said that, down to 160. I mean thats still crazy. Its better than 200 Miles Per Hour. I mean few people who have ever walked this earth have gone through the hell that theyre going through in the bahamas in the last couple of days. The eye has been wobbling, don, five miles to the north, back to the south five miles, now to the west. Its about 100 miles just east of west palm. The other part of this good news is weve got a new track out here. Even though the warnings will remain in place and for good reason and the watch is up to georgia and the carolinas, when we look at the track now, the bulk of the kind of consensus here is the same. Keeping it offshore, still question marks when you get closer to north carolina, and well handle that in the next couple of days. Its still going to take a while to move up toward, say, off the coast of melbourne. But it goes quickly, i think, tomorrow to a category 3 and will remain that way. But notice the cone of uncertainty has now left the coast of florida. It is slightly off. That means with this cone of uncertainty, that that eye could be anywhere within that cone. But this is the first time in a long, long time that it has left the florida coastline, and it is staying away from georgia. However, that cone of uncertainty continues to slide to South Carolina and north carolina. That doesnt mean we wont have our problems with storm surge, batting rainfall. Were going to have sea waves moving in and causing that coastal erosion. We most likely could have a tornado watch tomorrow. We had a couple of waterspouts today. The big thing weve been waiting for is the steering currents. High pressure blocking it is breaking down, and look at this color, this light color here, kind of a yellowgreen. That is a trough that is moving across the southeastern u. S. And when we get in closer here, youre going to see a little bit of a dip right here. And that is what we have been waiting for, don, that trough to start to lift this system. Unfortunately i think its going to remain for another 12 hours right where it is, and that is devastating all by itself. Unbelievable. Tom sater, our meteorologist, thank you. Well get back to you. 11 counties in florida under mandatory Evacuation Orders tonight. Cnns brian todd is in one of them for us now. He joins us now from stewart, florida. Brian, youre in an area where three bodies of water coverage there. What are people saying about the storm surge . Reporter well, don, theyre saying that its getting stronger. We can feel it getting stronger here. The surge has been intensifying over the past couple of hours in our location to the point where with the water coming down and the wind, one of our key pieces of equipment failed, our live view, so were on a different piece of equipment now to transmit to you live from this location. The surge has gotten worse over the past couple of hours and as you mentioned, were at the convergence of three bodies of water, the atlantic ocean, the st. Lucie river, and the indian river lagoon, all of which has been affected by the storm surge building up off the bahamas with this storm. So the waters have gotten choppier and much more rough. They were kind of slapping against the seawall about three or four hours ago. Now theyre crashing against the seawall. So this area right around me could see some flooding in the next 12 hours. We also mentioned that were not far from some Barrier Islands here that were under mandatory Evacuation Orders, Hutchinson Island and jupiter island. About 30,000 people total live on both of those islands. They were asked very strongly to get off those islands. Mandatory evacuations. But you cant force people out of their homes. So a lot of them chose to stay, and now they could be stranded for a couple of days because of these winds. Theyre going to close the bridges down. First responders are not going to be able to get to them if theyre in trouble, don. Also on Hutchinson Island, theyve cut off the water to try to preserve the infrastructure. So not only are those people potentially isolated for at least maybe a day or so, theyve got no running water. So unless they have a lot of water in their bathtubs, which youre always advised to do in these situations, they could be in a bit of a predicament over the next day and a half or so. Listen, brian, thank you very much. Brian is there. Its a very busy time for our correspondents. Well get back to brian. We want to get to our randi kaye now. She is on Singer Island in Palm Beach County. Randi, youre in an evacuation zone in West Palm Beach. How are things there now . Reporter they are getting worse actually, it seems, don. We were out in the elements for much of the day. Were taking a little bit of shelter right now, but you can probably see behind me the rains are still pretty heavy. The trees, the palm trees there behind me have been blowing like crazy. But we are on Singer Island. Its a Barrier Island in West Palm Beach area. It was evacuated as of yesterday afternoon. There was a mandatory evacuation under way. Some people stayed, including us, so we could bring you the conditions here. Were staying in a building where there are still people who have decided to stay and ride it out. But this is an area thats about a fourmile stretch. The ocean today was angry. Thats really the best way to describe it. We saw waves that you would normally see in the pacific, certainly not here on Singer Island. The waves were huge, and normally its a very calm ocean. People go snorkeling. Its usually crystal clear, bright blue. It was nothing like that today. The sand was kicking up. There were police on the beach making sure that nobody was going in the water. They didnt want anyone on the beach at all, so they spent the day kicking people off the beach. Were only about 20 minutes from Palm Beach International airport. That airport, don, tonight remains closed. Schools here in this area remain closed, and it is just continuing to even though the storm is moving off the coast as tom was saying, we are continuing to see these periods of rain. Then it would stop. The sun came out a few times today. The winds would die down, and then they would kick up. Its just sort of an ebb and flow as this day has gone on. As it goes, randi kaye, thank you very much. I want to get now to vero beach. Thats where well find our colleague miguel marquez. Miguel, hello to you. Have people listened to the Evacuation Order and left town . Reporter yes and no. Were about 60, 70 miles north of where randi is, and most people we drove down the Barrier Islands today, and most of the shops, most of the stores i mean look at town. Its just its creepy. This storm is creepy. The conditions here were much worse for most of the day now, and now it just feels like a light breeze on sort of a nice summer evening. What was expected to happen today has not, and its been sort of put off. Most people have gotten off the Barrier Islands, but there are a lot of people who are remaining, sticking it out. They believe that the storm is going to move north. Everyone here watching whats happening in the bahamas, though, and waiting for that storm to move north as they expect, hoping that theyre not going to end up in a difficult situation because those bridges at some point it looked like it was going to be around 2 00 a. M. Now it looks like it will be quite later, at some point will close down and you will no longer be able to get off this area. This area under mandatory Evacuation Order and hurricane warning. Miguel marquez, thank you very much. Appreciate that. Residents in fort pierce facing the threat of a possible devastating storm. Cnns leyla santiago is there for us. L layla, the storm surge may reach four to seven feet where you are. How concerned are the residents there . Reporter thats actually one of the things that was brought up today in the last presser, in the last update that county officials gave, that very statistic of four to seven, what they are expecting in terms of the storm surge. As you can see around me, the winds have really picked up since the last time we spoke, don, and already you were noting how you could hear it and see it then. I just checked in with county officials. They say not much has changed in the last hour from their perspective. They still have about 700 people in the shelters. Theyre expecting things to really pick up here tomorrow afternoon, but in the meantime, county officials, residents, everyone near here are just monitoring this storm that has really delayed quite a bit and not having much movement. I spoke to folks today. They were not only concerned about the possibility of winds but also, to your point, the flooding, the storm surge. The ground is already wet, and so they really cant handle much that could come its way. So we are still here continuing to monitor in an area that is under mandatory evacuation. They have sheriffs deputy at the end of the bridge not allowing anyone to come in that may just want to see whats going on, don. All right, leyla santiago, thank you. Appreciate your reporting. All of our correspondents, be safe out there also. Heed the warnings. Hunker down or leave, whatever your officials are telling you to do. Hurricane dorian kills at least five people in the bahamas.

The effects of monster Hurricane Dorian being felt in florida tonight, outer bands of the storm starting to lash the states east coast. Hurricane chaser mike theiss is in satellite beach, florida. He is following the storm for us. Mike, i appreciate you joining us. What are you seeing . Have things started to pick up there . Yeah, they have, don. Throughout the day today weve had feeder bands coming through and swirling down the beach, bringing embedded supercells and possibility of waterspouts. So today i was kind of on patrol for waterspouts, and the winds picked up as the day went. Some of these squall lines that came through would bring the winds up to maybe 35 or 40 Miles Per Hour with really heavy, heavy rains. Interesting. So the conditions that youre expecting to see in florida tonight and into tomorrow, what are they . Well, as it progresses overnight and as the hurricane inches a little bit closer and closer, i suspect the winds will gradually increase. The squall lines will pick up, and we may see hurricane conditions along the coastline if that center does get close to the coast. Yeah. And its going to last for a while. Its expected to sit where it is now for ten more hours at least. So this is going to be continuous wind and rain and probably rain off and on. Youre on a Barrier Island, though. Just how dangerous would a storm surge be there . Well, it would be very dangerous. Thats why the locals have asked everybody to evacuate, because it is a lowlying area. Were going to have really bad beach erosion. Were going to have storm surge action. The last place anybody wants to be is on a Barrier Island in those conditions. So as the day goes, that is what tomorrow is going to look like. But what is very important is where that center goes. If it stays well enough offshore, the surge may not be too bad. But if it gets a little bit close, were going to have higher surge with the wind. Regardless were going to have really bad conditions all the way up the florida east coast, all the way up to the carolinas. Im glad you mentioned that because i spoke to someone earlier in the bahamas, and she was, you know, hoping that someone would rescue her. She said she was far inland, didnt think that the flooding and the surge would get that close to her and actualy come in contact with it. Some people are worried about the storm surge on the other side of the bay and more inland. Should they be worried about that . Absolutely. Again, it depends on the actual wind direction, but you definitely need to be prepared for any kind of water rise, any kind of storm surge, and thats why the local officials have the maps. They have these drawn out of where this will happen. And thats why they section it into zones, and they evacuate people in zones because they want people out of harms way. All right, mike theiss. Thank you very much. I want you to be safe, and well get back to you as well. Were getting a lot more information in. You know, millions of people here in the United States, in florida under mandatory Evacuation Orders tonight as the first outer bands of wind and rain from Hurricane Dorian are moving into florida. Im joined now by edward campy, the commissioner of manaforten county. Ed, thank you so much. I appreciate you joining us. What are the Current Conditions like where you are, and what are you expecting as dorian continues to crawl up the east coast . You know its been an interesting storm for us. Were used to storms here in Martin County, and especially in florida. This one has been interesting because it has taken so long to get here. I think its allowed some people sadly to let their guards down. But when you look at whats happened in the bahamas, i think its a sad reminder that we cant rest on these things. We cant start to think that maybe its just going to pass us by. You know, our hearts go out. The bahamas is not that far off the coast of Martin County here in florida, and when you hear about the tragedies there, its a reminder for us to really focus our attention on our fire rescue, on our public safety. Our employees at the county have done a remarkable job. We have over 1,300 residents in shelters. We have six shelters open. We have a special needs shelter, First Time Ever a petfriendly shelter as well for those folks that would not normally evacuate because they didnt have anywhere to go with their pets. You know, were out here. Its windy. The rains coming and going, but weve had a lot of rain recently. The ground is saturated. Weve got to worry about trees blowing over in these heavy winds in the ground thats already saturated. But its something to be taken serious no doubt. Ed, let me ask you for any residents who are still at home, maybe rethinking their decision, is it too late . What message do you have for them . I think Martin County residents, weve had a couple. In 2004, both hurricane francis and gene made landfall here. A lot of our longer time residents understand how serious and dangerous these storms can be. Some new folks that have moved here from other areas, they hear the warnings. Theyre not sure, you know. Everyones quick to get to the supermarkets and to the Home Improvement stores and the gas stations. But when the storm takes a while to come and then its not as severe whetheeatherwise right minute, i think people start to get a little complacent. Were hoping they wont. Weve evacuated our Barrier Islands. Weve sent people to more safer locations. Even after a while, once the winds kick up, our fire rescue and our sheriffs deputies, we cant bput them in harms way. So folks that refuse to evacuate during the course of the storm are primarily on their own. We do have some heavy equipment that we might be able to reach some very severe cases. But overall if youve decided to stay in a mandatory evacuation zone, were not going to jeopardize our First Responders to come out and get you if you have an emergency. Its a sad fact, but weve given plenty of warnings. Mmhmm. In any storm this size, ed, flooding obviously a big concern. And dorian is just really crawling along. Is that storm surge what concerns you the most of everything, even more than wind and rain . You know, yes, it is because we have a very interesting community here. Were on the ocean, and then we have the intercoastal. But we also have a st. Lucie river inlet, the st. Lucie inlet and the river system, the south fork and the north fork. So a lot of our residents, any other time of year are very fortunate to live along the water. But in a situation like were going through right now, storm surge even inland is a very big concern for us. We have a lot of low, you know, more Historic Homes that are lower levels, and storms and flooding is a big concern. Yeah, right on cue. Ed, thank you. We appreciate it. You stay safe. Well be right back. [happy birthday music] dont get mad, put those years to work with e trade. Applebees handcrafted burgers now starting at 7. 99. Now thats eatin good in the neighborhood the newest forecast for Hurricane Dorian is out. Lets get right to the National Hurricane center. Mr. Ed rappaport has the details for us. Ed, good evening to you. Give us the latest track. Is there still a lot of people in harms way there . Yes, there are. Unfortunately the track at the moment is zero. This hurricane is still not moving. Its been roughly stationary for the last almost 18 to 24 hours. This is an eighthour loop in satellite. You can see the eye just hasnt moved. These are the northwestern bm , bahamas, and heres the coast of florida. We take a look a little more closely. You can see on the radar heres the center of the eye. Heres grand bahama island. Heres freeport being hammered, has been for the last 18 to 24 hours with hurricaneforce winds and theyll probably get another six to 12 hours of hurricaneforce winds before the hurricane starts to move away towards the northwest. Youre fairly confident its going to start to move towards before it slams right into the coast, right . Thats right. It is a little disconcerting and nerveracking, im sure, for the folks in florida. Weve had a hurricane draw a bead on us and approach the coast over the last day or so. But it has slowed as expected, and now we expect the direction to change and begin a northwest motion either later tonight or during the day tomorrow and take the hurricane on a course that will be parallel to the southeastern United States with the center just offshore. Its not offshore enough, though, to give us any peace of mind because the hurricaneforce winds extend out about almost to the coast. Tropical Storm Force Winds will come across the coast. Any deviation to the left will bring Even Stronger hurricaneforce winds ashore. And unfortunately were looking at a storm surge as well. Thats the water thats going to be driven ashore by those onshore winds. Four feet of storm surge, inundation along the coast. Could be as much as seven feet if the hurricane is a little closer to the coast or gets larger than what were forecasting. Ed, we appreciate your time. Thank you so much. Thank you. Joining me now by phone is are shamar shawl. Are sha lives in freeport. Aresha, thank you so much. You werent rescued. You had to walk with your family through water to find shelter. Tell me what you went through. Hello . Can you hear me, aresha . Yes, i can. Hi. Im going to read your story over again and tell people what you went through. But, again, you live in freeport. You were not rescued. You had to walk through with your family through water to find shelter. Tell us what you went through. Tell us whats going on. Okay. Well, basically on our island, we were hearing about all the shelters were being closed and they were evacuated. And with all the flooding and the surge from the ocean, it started to like so one of our so me, my mom, my husband, and our three kids, we walked through where the water was above kneehigh to get to where we needed to go to. Areesha, can you hear me . Yes. Can you make your your mouth is really close to the receiver, to the microphone, okay . Is this better . Yeah, thats a lot better. Thank you so much. You were eventually picked up by a stranger, correct, to get you to some safety . Yes, sir, we were. Youre with your mom, your husband. You have three kids. No. Im with my mom, her husband. Her husband. And our three kids. Two of the kids are mine. Got it. Okay. Its got to be incredibly tough for you, though. Yes, it is. Were not sure exactly whats going on elsewhere. Were basically, i would say, trapped. But were here with other families, and were just waiting to see what will happen, how high is the surge going to rise. Also how much farther its going to come. Areesha marshall, we wish you the best. Were thinking about you guys there. Thank you so much for joining us. All right. No problem. Thank you very much. Thank you.

As Hurricane Dorian pounds the bahamas, Evacuation Orders are in place up and down Floridas Atlantic coast, including parts of vero beach. Mayor val zhu danz joins me right now. Mayor, thank you so much. I know its a very busy time for you. We appreciate you joining us. Parts of vero beach under mandatory evacuations. Give us an update. Are your residents complying . Yes, they are. Thanks, don, for having me on. Its eerily quiet right now. Actually this is what its like in vero beach most evenings about 11 30 at night. People go to bed early around here. But its quiet, and i think we started preparing. We took it very seriously, and it was a beehive in vero beach six days ago. Everyone got everything ready, and then the storm kind of slowed down. So i think at this point theres a little bit of cabin fever. Were just kind of ready to get it over with. Weve done everything we can to prepare. Mmhmm. People listened and took it seriously, and everyone who needed to go into shelters went into shelters today. Our bridge will be closing at midnight tonight, and so youll no longer be able to get over the Barrier Island, and i think from here until its over, people just need to stay put. You cant really leave anymore. And i hope everyones safe. I hope everyone made the plans. I really do think that they did. Theyre very conscientious. A lot of people who live here have been here for a while and have been through significant storms in the past, and they know how dangerous it can be. Lets talk about some of the folks in shelters there because there are six shelters available to residents of vero beach, indian river county. How many people are taking advantage of them, mayor . Yeah. Last i heard earlier today, about 500 people in the shelters. About half of those in special needs shelters where they need special medical care and the other half in the general shelters. They had room for up to 2,500, and definitely had lots of excess space. Its pretty much running out of time, though, to get in there. Once you get up to tropical Storm Force Winds, which are coming at some point this evening, then its not really safe to be out on the roads anymore. I think people took that, and a lot of people left before we even had mandatory evacuations. If they were going out of town, theyre long gone, and the local people that have needed it have gotten the help. So were just waiting for the storm. Were sending our prayers out to the people in the bahamas. Thats really just devastating how long theyve been under hurricane conditions, the level of the water, and i just pray that we dont get anything like that. It doesnt look like we are, but we still need to take it serious to the end. You just got to stick with it because you can get fatigued with these things, and its not over. Its still going to get worse before it gets better. Yeah. So you guys be safe there. We appreciate you joining us, mayor val zudans of vero beach, florida. Thank you so much. Its my pleasure, don. Absolutely. I want to bring in now mayor mike bernard of Palm Beach County. Mac, excuse me. Excuse me, mayor. Thank you so much. What are the conditions like where you are right now . Well, right now, you know, this dangerous storm is 100 miles east of West Palm Beach, and as i already reported, its 130 Miles Per Hour with wind dwufts running 65 Miles Per Hour. We want to thank our residents for making their final storm preparation. Our biggest concern right now is the storm surge because due to the intercoastal waters and also the atlantic ocean, were expecting to get like anywhere from four to seven feet of storm surge, and also we are subject to high tide and around 12 00 midnight tonight, that could be up to three feet. You know, so were really concerned about that, and also were getting the feeder bands right now in Palm Beach County, and some of the winds are as high as 40 to 45 Miles Per Hour. Yeah. Listen, were looking at some satellite images, some images from space here. I mean it is just unbelievable the size of this thing. You mentioned the storm surge. You know, you may not get hit directly by this hurricane, but that surge coming off of this hurricane can be just as deadly as if it made an impact to you. Yes, it is. It could be just as deadly. Just going back to this dangerous storm, you know, our thoughts and prayers are with our brothers and sisters from the grand bahamas. You know, we have so many residents in Palm Beach County that are from the bahamas, that are from Palm Beach County in south florida. So, you know, after this storm passes in Palm Beach County, since we have our full Emergency Operation in effect, you know, what we hope is that were able to help rebuild bahamas with their shortterm and longterm needs. Youre recommending that residents that arent evacuating to a shelter, but theyre still evacuating their homes, that they shouldnt necessarily leave the county entirely. Tell us about that. Well, thats because, you know, this storm, we knew that it was going to move north, and we didnt want our residents to, you know, get on the highway and get stuck because a couple years ago when we had hurricane irma, a lot of the residents, you know, they started driving north to atlanta. And, you know, they were on the road for over 24 hours. And knowing that this storm was going to head north, we basically told the residents its better to go west or go south, but we wanted the residents to shelter in place, not 100 miles away. Thats why we opened nine homeless nine shelters that are in operation. And also we have a special needs shelter. Yeah. Well, mayor, we appreciate you joining us. Stay safe. Im sure well be checking back for an update. Mayor mack bernard of Palm Beach County, appreciate it. Thank you very much, don. Absolutely.

Thats because theres another community thats in mourning. Theyre mourning another mass shooting. This time a shooting in texas has left 7 dead, 25 injured. Friends, neighbors reeling right now. Families are without loved ones. And it goes to show that those thoughts and prayers offered by leaders in washington have done nothing to stop Mass Shootings across this country. Even after the massacres just last month in dayton and el paso, there has been no action by congress or the president to prevent deadly gun violence in our cities and our towns. Democratic president ial candidate beto orourke laid it out in very stark terms. The rhetoric that weve used, the thoughts and prayers that you just referred to, it has done nothing to stop the epidemic of gun violence, to protect our kids, our families, our fellow americans in public places, at a walmart in el paso where 22 were killed, in Sutherland Springs in a church. One or two a day all over this country. 100 killed daily in the United States of america. Were averaging about 300 Mass Shootings a year. No other country comes close. So, yes, this is [ bleep ] up. What orourke is talking about is something i have had to say too many times on this show. The odds havent changed. I talked about those odds just hours after the deadly mass shooting at Marjory StonemanDouglas High School last year. Every single one of us is just playing the odds at this point the odds that in a country of 325 million souls, that we wont be the ones who get hit by the next bullets that start flying. We wont be the one that gets that phone call about someone you love who did. Your son, your daughter, your brother, your sister, your spouse, or your parent, even a friend, anyone you know. The phone call that changes your life. But with every deadly shooting in this country, the odds get worse and worse and worse. Are you really willing to keep playing those odds . Your life is too precious for that. Well, the odds havent changed since then, and they dont discriminate. This weekend, a 17monthold little girl was injured in the shooting in texas. Anderson davis was in the car with her family on the way to get groceries when a gunshot hit the car. That left her with shrapnel in her chest, a hole through her bottom lip, and damage to her front teeth. Today she is at home recovering from surgery, surgery that she should never have needed from injuries she should never have had. Just look at that smile. A brave young girl. If only we were as brave as she is. We owe it to her, to the others injured, to the dead, to the grieving families and communities to be brave, brave enough to stop tragedy after tragedy in this country because if we cant be as brave as that little girl, we cant do anything to change the odds. Now i want to bring in carla byrne. She is the sister of joe griffith. Joe lost his life in the shooting on saturday. Carla, thank you so much. Im so sorry were speaking under these circumstances. How are you doing . Um, were just trying to be strong right now for each other. Thank you for asking. I cant even imagine. Tell me about your brother, please. My brother was this wonderfully hilarious man who was a light in maybe a not so light world all the time. He was genuinely the funniest person i know. He could impersonate anyone. He could quote almost every movie. He was star wars obsessed. He was a father to an 11yearold son and a 13yearold daughter. He was a husband. He was a brother. He was a son, an uncle, and a dear friend to many. And he was taken from us too soon, this shooting in some ways is different than some of the other shootings. Many of the other shootings that we have covered here. Your brother was killed sitding at a terrific light with his family. Traffic light. What do you know about what happened . My understanding is that the man had already murdered a u. S. Ps driver and took her van. And was making his rounds through the town. When he came to a light. That my brother and his family were sitting at on the way to take family photographs. And as he stopped at this light, he looked at my brother and his family. And he reached over and grabbed his ar 15. He leaned out over the side of the van. And killed my brother. Who they had to pull out and lay on the road. To try to stop the bleeding. And from there he went onto continue his rampage. Where he eventually was thank god, killed. By the amazing officers in the parking lot at a movie theater. You know i read and you said your brother had a sense of humor and he could impersonate anyone. What kind of relationship did he have with his students . The most hilarious stories about kids. The day before he was killed he ran into a former student. Who told him how much that she had touched he touched her life. And she had made math easier for her and every time she watched sand lot she would. She convinced him it was a classic. This kids loved him fiercely. He loved them fiercely. Like he loved everyone. And the one thing i cant express enough is that i do not want people to forget about my brother. We see this kind of thing all the time on tv. Selfincluded. We watch the tv and see female member of people slain. Through gun violence. We watch and we take a moment hopefully and have a silent moment of silence. For a prayer for the family. Maybe shed a tear. Then you go to bed and start your day and go sto work. Feed your children. Feed the dog. Check your mail. We have to. The world doesnt stop turning. We have to take steps. I dont know what the answers are. I wish i knew. I would shout them from the mountain tops if i knew. What i know is the worst thing we can do is for good men to do nothing. And its not an issue about we want to take everyones guns. I have a gun. I have it for my home to protect my family. Its not an issue of republicans. Or about democrats. This is an issue about humanity. We cant sit idly by anymore. And feel bad for people and go on about our day. We have to band together and have conversations about next steps. What can we do. What can we do . You know, i have been asking myself every day why my brother. And why do i feel convicted to speak out about this . Im one person. One girl in a town that most people have never heard of. And i dont know the answer. I think it starts with a conversation. It starts with a conversation between the left and the right. And forget about politics. And forget about the nra. And forget about whos right and wrong. Were all human. We have loved ones. I ask everybody that look at their loved ones. Look at their spouse and children. Brothers and sisters. Look at their family members. Because they can be next. I have never ever thought that i would be standing here today talking to cnn. In my town. Because my brother was slain. It could happen to any of us. We have to take action together. Carla, i hope people are listening. And watching. And youre very brave. We are thinking about you. And i know that theres nothing that we can say to make it better. Just know that a lot of people have you in their hearts and thoughts. Thank you so much. Were so sorry. Thank you. I really appreciate the time to be heard. If you have moderate to severe psoriasis, Little Things can be a big deal. Thats why theres otezla. Otezla is not a cream.
