life and death. i m sorry if the president was embarrassed because he was wrong, but he was wrong. when we re talking about something this serious, it s not i do feel empathy for those civil servants but i feel a lot more empathy for the dead people in the bahamas and those that have long all their belongings. i think in this moment we need to have more clarity on the fact that the mistake here was not that he was embarrassed or was mean to some civil servants but he was incorrect about scientific information that had lives hanging in the balance. peter baker, appreciate you breaking news in the last few hours. you got here and filled us in. and gabe, zerlina and john are staying with us. congress is back on the hill. first on some democrats agenda,s impeachment. now a critical judiciary vote is just days away. days away tech: at safelite autoglass, we really pride ourselves on making it easy for you to get your windshield fixed. with safelite, you can see exactly when we ll
correspondent, gabe debenedetti and z erment rlina maxwell and john pod hoar tz, msnbc contributor. thanks for being with us. peter baker, we were just quoting at the top of the show from your story about this drama, this story you just broke in the last few minutes, this drama involving wilbur ross and the commerce secretary. it is the commerce department that has jurisdiction over noaa. take us through what you are reporting happened there over the last few days. exactly. we all remember the birmingham office of the national weather service contradicted the president when he said alabama most likely would be hit. five days later, the national noaa, the parent agency issued an unusual statement chastising that office saying they spoke with too much certainty and basically, in effect admonishing
