dumb i present to the united states. molly: do you think his fortunes could change at that next report lingers out there? not knowing the contents of the report, it s hard for me to know what legal jeopardy individuals could be in. we expect to see similar to this report some areas for criticism and possibly criminal exposure. it s just hard to say until we see what the inspector general report, together with the u.s. attorney in connecticut, find when they investigate the origins of this investigation. molly: it seems to go on and on and have some of the different layers. matthew whitaker, thank you for your insights today. we appreciate it. thank you, molly. molly: a fox news alert fox news alert, forecasters now warning dorian could strengthen to a powerful hurricane hurricane 4 hurricane by the time it makes landfall in florida. this labor day weekend. and they warned it could bring
gone. we have our entire team spread across all of the danger zones. let s begin with gary in shell point. look, it has gotten worse for you there in the last hour. things are getting bad quickly and the worst is still yet to come. this is shell point beach, florida. it s a very vulnerable area. this town only has 300 people. it s a boating town, a tourist town. it got decimated 13 years ago during hurricane dennis. there is a lot of concern. i think what gives us some comfort from covering hurricanes, we always see curiosity seekers deciding not to evacuate. even with limited advanced notice of this we didn t know we would have a hurricane 4 hurricane until today.
strength? reporter: there certainly are requirements for the sturdiness of the homes. not all of the homes are high enough to survive this. we will give an example here. this home is about 25 feet. this one to the right is 40 feet tall. so it gives you an idea, these people are hoping they can survive the storm like this. this is unprecedented. this is the state of florida. this is a magnet for hurricanes throughout history. here you are in the panhandle of the state from pensacola to the west, tallahassee to the east. they have never had in recorded weather history a category 4 hurricane before. so this literally is unchartered territory. thanks for staying there with us. a lot of danger for the crews involved who are sticking along the coast line. dianne gallagher is on the coast line. what do you see in there?
america. you hear the president question that number of how many are dead. you hear the president say we did a great job, people say we did great in puerto rico, it s amazing what we did. how do you take that? i only take that as one thing. i think any leader, especially the president of the united states, 51% of leadership is empathy. nobody s blaming you for the deaths personally, but if you re in charge you are in charge. you need to praise others when they do a good job, but you should be taking the responsibility when things don t go as planned. probably we saw the numbers in north carolina. this was only a hurricane 2, and we are seeing the number 41. who can believe that when the president went there, a hurricane 4, that it was a hurricane like we ve never seen before, was only 16 deaths? or then when the number increased to 64. long story short, we need to be accountable. we need to understand.
elections every single year because sometimes it feels like because we are about to have elections everybody responds. quite frankly, we have the most amazing country in the history of mankind, the most prepared men on the military, on the private sector. if america wants to take care of something, america makes it happen. in puerto rico it s like we forgot about it. even if the devastation was a hurricane 4 and we were not prepared, i don t blame anybody for not being prepared. what i think we should be asking is why we didn t even adapt, why we didn t even react. in north carolina, which is the area i ve been for the last seven, eight days, what i see is people ready to take care of americans in need. by the second. and this quite frankly i m very happy to see. but unfortunately, this happened because 3,000-plus deaths in puerto rico.
