Press, dont worry, well consider your application. As far as theyre concerned with official communications with the government, theyre required to get out. Today would be a good day to clarify it, as would several days before today. Its outrageous we are where we are. And the families are stranded. Thank you, rachel. One of the master minds of senator Barack Obamas successful president ial campaign in 2008 has advice, important advice for the Democratic Candidates in tomorrow nights debate. Hes urging them to make the most of an issue that most of them have ignored in the debates. We will have that for you at the end of this hour along with a new round of the worst polling yet for President Trump in one on one matchups with Democratic Candidates.

Committee today that adam schiff released is the Inspector Generals work hard to try to open the door for the whistleblower to go straight to the committee and eventually the Inspector General just had to tell the committee that hes reached an impasse with the acting director and the acting director is blocking the way with the support of attorney general william barr. Yeah. And schiff is now warning that the Inspector General himself i might not be protected from prosecution or reprisal from the Trump Administration here as he tries make this thing known. Its not even his complaint. Hes just trying to take care of it and protect that whistleblower. He may himself be in their legal crosshairs by doing so if they continue down this road. Its dystopic. And we have a former Inspector General joining us tonight. E so we will get a view from someone whos been there about how to make sense of all of this. Excellent. E thanks, lawrence. Thank you, rachel. We have so much ground to cover for y
First thing, area of concern is the northern bahamas, and then were going to talk about South Central florida on the east coast, and then possibly right up through the florida coast into the carolinas. Yesterday the trend was, uhoh, this looks really strong and further to the south. Today, in the last 24 hours, the trend has been, it still looks really strong, but maybe, just maybe, we can stall this thing out enough and curve it out to sea, to avoid a devastating blow on the east coast of florida and even the carolinas. So let me explain the latest from the hurricane center. 115 bhirn 115mileperhour winds and look at how well defined the eye is. Very symmetrical. It just looks like a classic, major hurricane right now. Wouldnt surprise me at all if it gets up to a category 4 overnight tonight into tomorrow morning. And i still think that this may have a shot at some point in the next 24 hours, close to a category 5. That gets your attention enough right there. We know were going to ha
But there is this weird situation where the whistleblower theoretically can convey that information directly to the committee. But its almost impossible to do so legally without the channel being opened for that person. And the Trump Administration wont open the channel. So schiff has to be totally responsible in terms of what he can promise that person in terms of retaliation, protection from prosecution, all of those things. I mean, this is incredibly high stakes for everybody involved at this point. Yeah. And as we saw in the Inspector Generals letters to the committee today that adam schiff released is the Inspector Generals work hard to try to open the door for the whistleblower to go straight to the committee and eventually the Inspector General just had to tell the committee that hes reached an impasse with the acting director and the acting director is blocking the way with the support of attorney general william barr. Yeah. And schiff is now warning that the Inspector General
