december 15th. the ceo of white fish energy the contracting company told bill we re wooer that they re going to need a lot more manpower than they currently have today if they want to meet that deadline. i agree. our expectation is to have about a,000 or 1,200 regained here in puerto rico. right now what we had about 231 big aides from the power authority. that number has started growing. we re about 400 right now. we re getting more equipment. we re getting more materials. but if we want to meet those aggressive milestones, we re going to need more support, and that s what we ve been asking the corps of engineers. thanks so much for your time of the i wish you the best. thank you, anderson. and we ll be right back with tonight s ridiculous. you nervous?
things seems to hate public humiliation. that will certainly put him in the crosshairs of the president. now that being said, jeff sessions, you know, has also offered his resignation, was being attacked on twitter by the president. he is still out there. so the doj spot, still the attorney general and still very much focused on his job. so who knows what will happen. youiaed to the tillerson speculation the fact that he reportedly had said earlier this year, he didn t know if he would last a year in that position. i want to play something for you, sarah huckaby sanders, what she was say anything response to the president, calm before the storm comments. here it is. as we ve said many times before, i know the president has, i have affirmed othen podium on quite a few occasions, wooer never going to say in advance what the president is going to do. as he said last night in addition to those comments, you have to wait and see. i think you can take the president protecting the ameri
deeply faithful people as you saw there. they don t want to create a bother i say specially in the rural areas, but we are on the brink of a major humanitarian crisis. so much worse than irma, than the storm in texas because we re a thousand miles from miami. the only way to get aid in here is by boat or plane. and there s so much damage. that was 20 miles as the crow flies from the capital of san juan. there are search and rescue efforts that haven t even scratched the surface of what s out there in the central part of this island. so 3 million fellow americans, they fought in wars. they ve manufactured most of your pharmaceuticals down here for many years. and now they need help unlike anything they ve needed in a century. yeah. it s extraordinary. bill we re wooer. i m glad you re there. large parts of the island very difficult for reporters to get there and certainly relief efforts. we ll continue to fan out to as many parts of puerto rico as we can in the days ahead. at the wh

the help you had lines, waits, a lot of just basic delays for people just to get the stuff they need if they are staying put. reuters andy sullivan thank you for sharing some of your reporting with us. my pleasure. a storm of this nature can be difficult toorce winds. tonight irma s ferocious winds have the potential to reek more havoc. to better understand how to protect life and property, these researchers create hurricane force wins. wooer looking at category 1, damage to unank order home, trees, shrubs, these a category 2100 miles an hour wind, there s
