chased storms across the globe. don t even think the video we ve shown you is by far the worst. because that will come tomorrow during sunup. right now the storm is just heading into central portions of of georgia. there s makin right here, interstate 75. still a category 1. we ve got winds 40 to 50. so we re starting to minimize our damage once you get below 50. but near the center, right near albany, there where we have the potential to guest gusts up to 60,80 miles per hour. we haven t had a lot of tornados with this system. occasionally we get these systems that come in especially during the afternoon. and you can get numerous, dozens of tornados. we only had one reported today, so that was good with that. moving a brisk pace, 17 miles an hour. remember every one is different. florence we couldn t get rid of. it was like a turtle it was crawling.
messages. to be frank there was that one thing in their utah democrat were going to vote on. when you think that the way to get it done? i think were the president was coming from us we couldn t get 60 votes in the senate. why work on this now if you know you can t get a good bill through the senate. i disagree with that. liz: if you can t do it in both houses are not sure how you re going to do it. okay, we just saw casey stegall reporting some pretty gutwrenching images everything about families getting separated in the process they are going through to get reunited. is this how we should be using resources down there on the border? is this an efficient use of resources? i do think we have to keep families together. our public wants that. i hear that from our constituents, that they want the rule of law and they don t want to do catch and release. we are releasing families and
