It is indeed a real pleasure for me to welcome all of you to Miamidade College and the 26th addition of Miami Book Fair international. This is your official opening for the book fair. Eight consecutive days and the street fair that will take place friday, saturday and sunday of next week. This is without question the finest and largest literary event in america. We are very proud of the college to be able to host these every year, now for 26 years. The community has been so responsive to visitors and residents of the Community Coming together. The book fair has been labeled in many different ways. My two favorite ones, the american author who said miami Fair International is the literary makeup of the western world. The other label is what former First Lady Barbara Bush said about book fair. She said an embarrassment of riches. I love that one. Between now and next sunday, we will have over 350 offers. Some of them coming from different parts of the world. Doing the street fair, hundre

I have it, too. I know what thats about. Here we go. Joy, well be seeing you again soon. Thank you, as always. Thanks. I want to welcome thank you, i want to welcome everyone to the beat. I am ari melber and the sound you hear, thats the sound of a defeated trump. Five days since this race was formally called, even as trump finally left the white house for the first time today since becoming the loser of this race, visiting Arlington Cemetery for veterans day, he avoided questions. He kept the same silence. And that makes this the longest stretch of Donald Trumps presidency out of view. This is the sound of silence as the sound goes with Top Republicans taking donald trump silent denial as an order to join his charade and in so doing, we must note they are rejecting the wise counsel from simon and garfunkle. Silence like a cancer grows. And this silence does continue to grow in the republican caucus. Trump is the loser of the race with independent judges. Donald trumps own lawyers now

We understand that our longtime governor and now ambassador to china, Terry Branstead, will be there with him. The president has already praised ambassador bransteads longtime relationship with chinas president xi. As you know, the president has a certain style the way he tweets and talks and that that doesnt exactly mirror the way Terry Brans

Judge jeanine Steve Harrigan has the latest on the rescue and recovery effort. It was the second visit from President Trump. He met with survivors. He picked up a small girl. He handed out meal to the survivors. He asked them what they needed. And he issue offed a prediction texas would recover quicker than people were saying. On the west side of houston conditions are dire. Many hours along this road are still covered, 3 to 4 feet of floods water. We have been seeing people going back to that homes and trying to pull out everything they can from that floodwater. Even a page it as people try and pull out what they can. There is a strong smell of rauf sewage from this water. I have seen a lot of people in surgical masks. Its enough to sting the eyes. A lot of this water is from a controlled release from water from several rese
