confirmed dead, and we re hoping that number doesn t get any higher. the state of florida, again, there are many mandatory evacuations here. they closed a lot airports. 1800 plus flights canceled, and 650 more tomorrow. a lot happening down here and other weather is getting worse. but the worse of it was in the bahamas, and the worse may yet to be to come out there on the south carolina and north carolina coast. tucker: rick levin that you will. we ll be keep being up updated throughout the hour, on hurricane dorian s. tucker: joe biden feels like he s running for president because he feels obligated to. is it work something rick humejoins us after the break.
white house. tucker: so maybe he doesn t want really be president. the question is is anybody excited about joe biden becoming president. recent polls show, his own campaign is now down playing the state of iowa saying it s not a must-win state for them o. possible, biden is not even the front runner now. so if he s not winning and doesn t really want to be president. why is he doing this? rick humes our senior critical analyst here at fox news. hey, brit. tucker. tucker: so joe biden. i think a lot of people on the right, me included think biden is the most reasonable person in the field. yeah, very nice man. i absolutely think this. but i ve never thought that his heart seemed in it and i never thought this was his year. i think he s always wanted to be president. he s tried it before. that hadn t worked out. i think he thinks perhaps now
legal. i think people who are mentally unstable, shouldn t have access to guns. i think we should put an assault weapons ban back on. these weapons are not use forward hunting. thank you very much for coming o. tucker: hurricane dorian, whipping his with you up the east coast. rick levin that you will is in atlanta beach this morning. hey, rick. and tucker, no question. the state of florida, incredibly fortunate this storm turned to the north and more to the east. we do expect to feel tropical storm force conditions tonight, into all day tomorrow. we re told winds of 35 to 50 miles an hour, here in duvall county w three to 6 inches of rain, but other stretches the florida coast line can also get hit as hard or harder and the states of emergency struts all the way up to virginia.

it s not a full day s work. h tucker, to be honest, everyone i ve talked to about this sayso. the less he s here, the less damage he does.we should have s, why didn t he run in 2016? look, this is a man who considers that a normal thing to go in midmorning and take a fleet of limousines to brooklyn to go to the gym and sort of stand on the elliptical and peddle in the middle of the working day. afor most people. then go get a pastry. this is a guy who is reported to take naps during the middle of the day. his campaign has been a disaster from the t beginning, when he wt to trump tower and made an absurd announcement and people were parading behind him withru worst mayor ever signs. then he went on to miami and he
