Story at National Enquirer at joe and mika. Its sort of stunning he is so in the weeds and so obsessed with in Media Coverage and with the television coverage. And he truly is the first reality tv president thats ever lived. I think its frustrating to see as ryan was saying earlier for republicans on the hill to who want to focus on policy, want to focus i mean last week was supposed to be energy week but who talked about that . Who want to focus on the other things. And you end up with me after week getting trapped in the twitter storms and the fights with like personalities. And never talking about policy and never actually getting any legislation passed. To be clear what the president tweeted was that he took a call or was getting set to take a call from Joe Scarborough about that National Enquirer hit piece on joe and mika. Paul, to you this sounds like blackmail or is in a legal issue potentially for the white house. Well a lot of people reacted that way. But it sounds like extort
More rain but irma will start to send some winds from the west. We have a baby dolphin here that has washed ashore. There we go. Come on, guy. We think you can make it. Come on. Hang on. A little more water. Here we go. Okay. Swim. And steve bannon speaking out for the first time confirming that he views the comey firing as the biggest mistake in political history. That would probably be too bombastic even for me but maybe modern political history. And the nation remembers. 16 years after 9 11 the Trump Administration now marking the solemn anniversary for the very first time. We americans are not made of cotton candy, we are not seaweed drifting in the current. We are not intimidated by our enemies. Today as we stand on this hallowed ground, we are reminded of the timeless truth that when america is united, no force on earth can break us apart. And good day, everyone. Im Andrea Mitchell in new york. Continuing our coverage of irma still causing major concerns. Right now, Hurricane For
A Tropical Storm and for the most part down in florida we are waiting for a damage assessment. Lets listen to peter who is live in jacksonville where the wind is still howling. You would think this is the kind of place where somebody might go to lunch of boat but this is street, we are still two blocks in. You can see how deep it is, about 500 feet where the banks should be right now. What we are told is high tide. You look over to the right here, theres a Hyatt Regency that is completely closed, there is nobody staying there. You can see why from this angle a little bit better than where we were before. There are a couple of feet of water blocking any way that you would get into that hotel basically. We just saw the Utility Company go into this building, theyve been checking things out all up and down this block. High tide is here, this is about as high as its going to go. With the wind still coming in, jacksonville, nobody really talks about as being one of the places the storm was g
Merata, caven near key but not down in the south. Residents along that entry point are very angry. Take a listen to this resident. She has had it. I have a dog and cat and parrot and i cant get back to my home. There is nothing open. I have no food. I have no water. This is wrong. This is wrong. And Governor Scott was touring the area by air yesterday to assess how unbelievable this damage is that irma caused. Here is what the governor had to say. My heart goes out to the people in the keys. I mean, there is devastation. And, you know, i just hope everybody, you know, survived. Its horrible what we saw. Now, obviously, one of the big stories, guys, you will hear playing out is power restoration because nearly half or more of the state of florida without power, difficult conditions. But none like that playing out in the keys. Why so many stayed behind . Perhaps we will find out. But they have got to get in some food which could be running out soon by today. Water and other elements as p
Roads. The predicted storm surge didnt happen. A lot of people told us they were grateful for that. 20,000 people taking refuge in shelters, fearing the worst. What is next is to get electric power up. 210,000 customers, about 200,000 lost their power. So now you have many families at home alive in their houses, whole, but without electricity, without air conditioning, without phones and many of the schools still closed because they are damaged, too. Neil, back to you. Neil to your point, this could be the case for weeks, right . Half the state is out of power. Its a huge problem and a huge effort by authorities. Theyre marshalling the biggest power effort in history to try to get power back up and running. Lines snapped here in naples from gusts of 140 Miles Per Hour everywhere you look. Thanks, steve very much. Steve harrigan. In the middle of that, you might be surprised at what youre about to see now. A big day on the corner of wall and broad. Stocks soaring on that it wasnt worst.
