update, is that dorian has weakened, but it s not supposed to weaken much after this and areas of south carolina and north carolina especially need to prepare for the potential of a direct landfall of a category 2 hurricane. let s talk a little bit about that. if you are sitting in florida right now, to a certain extent you are breathing a sigh of relief because you are seeing this entire cone of uncertainty saying off the coast of florida, the storm surge still could very much be a problem. but then as we move up the coast we are looking at myrtle beach, wilmington, cape hatteras, charleston, we have one of our reporters in charleston, south carolina, right now. those within the cone of uncertainty. so what type of conditions could they be seeing come wednesday morning, thursday worst case for did with flor.
being done at home to lower drug prices but speaker pelosi won t even bring it to the floor. usmca, we have a real opportunity to get a better deal with mexico and canada. the president wants it. they wanted. the unions wanted. most democrats want to but that won t be brought to to the flor because we have all this foolishness going on. harris: usmca, i don t know if it has a hard deadline but it does have a working deadline, right? don t want to try to get that done so we can go forward on the straight issues? there are a lot of things at play. canada wants to get it done. they have elections coming up. mexico has already passed it. it s a better deal for america. they we look at the state of wisconsin for example or michigan. there are a lot of areas of canadian markets that are close to american products and this allows us to sound more american products into canada, into mexico. they won t bring it to the floor. i was with ambassador light house earlier. he s working hard to
welcome back to viewers here in the united states, and all around the world, i m george howell, live in deficstin, flor, where we are awaiting hurricane michael. it has been upgraded to a category 4 storm. it has strong winds. wi winds at 210 kilometers an hour. compared to other storms, it will pack a real punch here on the florida coast line. again, pan that city, right there, target bullseye, it seems the eye of the storm, moving directly toward panama city, and everything east of panama city, that will be in the northeastern quadrant of the storm, that s where they will see, really the stronger winds and the possible torna tornadic activity, you are seeing rain coming down, and we are not feeling the winds, keep in mind, that is what the storm really seems to be about. it is strong, it is fast. it s moving in quickly.
