accused of political sizing the cia. now he s being accused of that same thing by trump. a lot were upset media wasn t focusing more on hacked documents. i think the white house expected more buy-in from republicans in congress. you recall they went to congress, tried to have a united front and got rebuffed. by mcconnell, the house leader. exactly. i was talking to dianne feinstein on this show yesterday. they ve been briefed continuously on this. she has to be careful what she says publicly. but read between the lines, this is the question and the answer at noon yesterday. there s a lot of public reporting the fsb and gru, two separate one military, one nonmilitary, supposedly, from russia were both involved. you have a former kgb/fsb intelligence officer in vladimir putin.
trump s polls, as you just heard. this was just not anticipated by anyone who honestly explains what was going on. i can tell you that at noon yesterday, brian fallon was on our show and i asked him about how they felt and he said tired but elated. i checked back with him at 6:00 last night before we went on nightly news at 6:30 and said, is it still fair to say tired and elated? he said no, elated. and that was the case as late as 8:00 last night when staff members were circulated around the javits center. so they did not see this coming. i even got word from democratic sources in michigan that the turnout in michigan was not turning out in detroit and flint. in other words, not getting the strong minority vote they needed there. it was fairly early in the evening, around 8:30, maybe 9:00. at that point, we started seeing a tightening of the polls.
2012. no pollster had that in their model. this has shaped up very nicely for her. let s listen to donald trump analyzing the florida vote for hillary clinton. one of the things they re seeing in a couple of these states like florida, african-americans aren t turning out, and when they do, a lot of them have voting for trump. i m getting so many more than was anticipated. [cheers and applause] i think the same is going to be true with hispanics. we re going to do great with the african-americans. we re going to do great with the hispanics. and the other side is starting to see it, and they are not happy. they are not happy. steve shale, your reaction to that? i want what he s drinking. i don t know where he s seeing it. yesterday i went to an event, i m hosting a group from turkey this week observing our election. we went to an ame church in orlando and about noon yesterday, there must have been
around 10:30 a.m. it s expected to open back up at 11:00 this morning. miami international airport closed at noon yesterday. airport officials there say operations are expected to gradually resume today. let s go to ft. lauderdale, shall we, to get the latest there on the ground is nbc news correspondent blake mccoy. what are you seeing there, blake? reporter: well, betty, good morning. the reason the airport here is reopening this morning at 11:00 is because conditions have improved dramatically from where they were last night. the storm was not as bad here as we were expecting, in fact, the last tropical storm warning has now been lifted for ft. lauderdale, so miami and ft. lauderdale at this point are in the clear as that storm has made its way up. the mayor here says there has been very minimal damage, because the eye of the hurricane ended up staying about 100 miles offshore from ft. lauderdale, so while we did see outer bands bring wind and rain, the most severe stayed offshore
all right. as kerry moved outside of the car there, i think we lost his microphone. we ll get that synced up and go back to satellite in just a minute. problems with airports have been epic. hurricane matthew has canceled 3,000. even more than a couple. at this point the cancellation have extended out as far as saturday. the first major airport to close yesterday was ft. lauderdale. that happened around 10:30 a.m. it is expected to open back up at 11:00 a.m. this morning. good news for you travelers. miami international airport closed at noon yesterday. they didn t us is pepd all operations. we should let folks know that they say operations are expected to gradually resume there today in miami. joining us from ft. lauderdale, florida, blake mccoy. good morning to you. i think folks there feel like they re waking up and dodged a
