Because they have no money officials warn donald trump's lies. The money has been spent on people that should not be in our country mean life or death for helene hampered communities. As the former president has a notso meet cute with a former foe. Plus the president gives a glass half halffull take on the election, that it'll be on the level when confident, be free and fair, but warns, it might turn violent i don't know where they'll be peaceful also, a boo jobs and wages, pop off as the calendar turns to the final month of the campaign and donald trump returns to the scene of a near national tragedy butler, pennsylvania. Live at the time cable, maria cardona, able maldonado roy wood jr. With 31 days it's to go americans with different perspectives aren't talking to each other. But here they do i'm abby phillip in new york. Let's get right to what america is talking about. Storms, lies, and videotape the former president has an election to win in just about a month and with 31 days until america votes, it's pretty clear that he is willing to break the rules. And the truth to do it. The latest episode, his plainly false insistence that the biden administration is starving people stock and struck by this storm, hurricane helene. They are in desperate need of resources. And here's what trump is saying about it people are dying in north carolina. They're dying all over those 56 states they're dying and they are getting no help from our federal government because they have no money, because the money has been spent on people that should not be in our country. They saw the fema money just like they stole it from a bank. That's been a terrible response from the white house. They're missing $1 that it's used for another purpose and nobody seen anything like that. You have a legal you have the migrants, you're reading about it now, a lot of the money that was supposed to go to georgia and supposed to go to north carolina and all of the others is going and has gone already. It's been gone for people i came into the country illegally. They're missing 1 billion that they gave to migrants coming into our of that is true, that was a lot of lies in a few seconds why does donald trump continue to insist on politicizing a storm that is actively still occurring. People are still in need of help and lying about it so consistently have you? i will see him politicizing this storm. He is down there showing that he's a leader. He's claiming that biden is withholding aid because these people are i guess, presumptively republican said it's just patently false. I think president trump is down there making a very big point and raising the flag of this state needs a lot of help and he's making a point. But one thing that you can you can accuse of them not being a leader and during these storms have been lieutenant governor with all due respect, he is lying i don't see him as he's been consistent with the facts here is everything that goes to the people of north carolina. Here it's great here's a great irony of the situation. Trump is saying that fema, right now is taking money that was supposed to go to disaster relief and using it for migrants. That is not true. But here's what trump did biden to take this headline from the washington post. Biden didn't take fema relief money to use on migrants. Trump did. In 2019, the trump administration in the middle of a hurricane, told congress that it was taking 271 million from the e ds programs, including 155 million dollars from disaster relief to pay for immigration detention space. He did that abby, if i could if i could jump in, i well, i'm sorry, little santos. But you are just so wrong on this. And this boils my blood because i grew up in puerto rico and i remember when donald trump came down to puerto rico and through paper towels at us, how can forget exactly when he talks about when he makes up out of whole cloth. These ridiculous lies about the administration which republican governors have actually said, no, they're getting what they need from this administration. We have talked to president biden. We have talked to vice president harris first. They are responding absolutely adequately, more than adequately. We're getting what we need meanwhile, when trump was president, he guarded fema. He did not want to give california the aid that they needed from wildfires until they had to show him a map that the places that needed the help war republican it is absolutely insanity would this man is doing, he's not just politicizing the storm, but he's putting people's lives in danger. It takes a lot of nerve to do this during a hurricane. I mean, erin, i'm i know you're it's it really i mean, i wonder though, is it just because he's like i've got to do whatever it takes. We've got 31 days left. You know, all bets are off i learned a long time ago to not try and really delve into the deep thinking that goes into donald trump's head because that was never our role. We were just always there to never explain, but just to let his answer, stan, so trying to explain this is beyond even those ones why would i realize i heard the tweet speaks for itself? yeah. I'm i'm sure you would but we will give donald trump credit here. He has been trying to raise money privately as well for disaster relief. He is trying to stand up as an individual citizen to make sure that there is some relief available. But this is such a missed opportunity for this country to come together if it had been kamala harris or donald trump who said, everybody sorts down what we can do right now is in a bipartisan fashion, stand together and say, let's do a big concert fundraiser, liked, find a way to bring more money into the red cost, red cross or to other disaster relief organizations. And put the sorts out. But nobody on either side of the political spectrum decided to say, you know what, this is a moment for leadership. But hey i'd like i'm here, i don't know more politicians. I don't know why you're bringing yeah kamala harris into this. The open person who is politicizing this is donald trump that he is the one i doing it. I'm not arguing the premise of what you're saying there, but what i'm saying it was an opportunity for both sides to be better than they were in the situation. Because ultimately, if you want to show leadership, if kamala harris's standing there saying, i'm the difference in the other option, i'm the adult in the room. There was an opportunity right there to do it, but she didn't i'm not let me let it is a complex trump's when trump thinks he has that issue that is a winner for him, he is going to pound everything into that issue. He thinks immigration is the issue that matters. So everything's going to go back to immigration now, i do find it fascinating and interesting. He's real bad with what if money, right? like this is one of the things about the pandemic that's a whatif situation. The disaster stuff is a whatif situation think that for, right. So any money that's supposed to be put a whatif is money that he would have historically diverted into something else? i'm sure his people know that at some point somebody was going to say, hey, you know, trump was the one that got rid of someone is what if money for something like this. So what do you do? you just redirect it and talk about the thing that you think winds and that you think you can fool people into saying, no matter what this money is gone toward it immigration, that's going to be the line that he pounds for a month because it's the one thing i think he thinks he can win on monday. Where is president trump today? he's down there. He's showing leadership amadea out, feel like going what do you mean when manage of this situation you have a disaster like this. And you are the leader i got to tell you, people want to see you down there the people are hurting. People have passed away i want you they care about the penal, this, this notion that if they go down there, it's a distraction that is not the case, that is not somebody for presidents should go down there. I have just telling everybody has roy yeah. I mean, the idea that trump is going to go down there and be ernest because he actually cares about the people when he can use this as an opportunity to disturb his fan based on lies that evan let me where not tolber now, the counter is reset. But the idea that remember last week donald and you don't work at mcdonald's and the week before that now will offer the haitian picked sandwiches there's not even talking about that anymore. It's whatever i can say. This week to get you all round up because immigration lipow miami said that's the thing that i believe is going to get people out to the polls. So he's using these people in despair. These people who are still in these homes stranded. You got strangers, taken on helicopters up the ridge to bring people down. And he's using that as a way to activate it even if you tried to do something by partisan some sort of concert. I don't even know what that concert would look like. It's divided as we are now, because you're not going to get kid rock and megan stallion in the same green room to come by? yeah. In the name of disaster relief. But i think biden is the president. And if biden has done what he is supposed to do, which so far he has, according to the governors in those states, then everything is telling her kept did have to push back on him originally, only 11 of the counties in georgia word declared disaster counties. He had to call back into the white house and a fema and say, hey guys, you're ignoring some of the rural counties here. Can you look again then the number went up to 41 stay it wasn't from the jump. They were consistent conversations and republican governors had to go back on behalf of their states and advocate from where. But they got what they need in here. Let's just let brian kemp speak for himself yesterday afternoon. I missed him and called him right back. And he just said, hey, what do you need? and i told him, we we got what we need he offered that if there's another things that we need just to call him directly sounds like he did exactly that. And the problem was resolved, but speaking of brian kemp, the other person that donald trump was spending some time with him, and they have not always had the best relationship the final vote for him donald trump mad about 11,001, asked for the interaction today. I just thought it was really fascinating to watch these two men who trump has spent so much time criticizing brian kemp publicly and now they're shaking hands what does that tell you i think we have the video right handshake world it's one of those app that tells me that governor camp is really pushing for donald j. Trump to become the next president united states and obviously he's afraid of having kamala's economy come into play. So he's going to do whatever he can to help donald j. Trump. They're what they're working today. That image was images will work in strong for georgia or is he does down trump might become the president at which point you, by window shook his hand last i actually think i actually had a pretty hard one. Flip side. I think that donald will know exactly. I think that donald trump is really concerned about what's happening in georgia. He is seeing the numbers. He has seen kamala harris's rallies. He is seeing the early vote and it is all democrats are doing really well. And so he says to himself, oh my god, a month ago i was absolutely down on camp and i was insulting the guy on month ago. Now, i'm going to have to go and suck up to him or else i am just not it's not suck it up. It's working gather for the people of georgia and for the people in north carolina and why was it different a month ago when he was insulting it's politics. You know donald home is confused about what you're talking about. Here's the hideyo of brian kemp and donald trump over this ramble know what did not exactly governor you, secretary of state they're petrified of stacey abrams. What they have done to your state? i think most people have no idea what they've done to your state. I'll be here in about a yearandahalf campaigning against you, governor. I guarantee you know, we worked together. We've always worked together very well. Very, really well. It's all no, i'm sorry. It does both the republican and i was we happen is democrats aren't. It doesn't even happened with republican politics. It happens with donald trump politics is not a politician. So you got to admit it out of politics. Does this business? he's, a leader. In, his, policies you got to be a politician know. I just go four years are going to change him as a businessman know he's a business, not a politician. If there's no hurricane is trump. People love about him. He's not know a hurricane is trump trying to make peace with the governor of a battleground state? horse. He was before absolutely. A month ago. He literally that's trying to make peace with her. Absolutely. The primary go hang on. All maria, hang on to the god, erin. Your question would donald trump be working with a republican governor of a battleground state in the last 60 days leading up to the election, whether or not he likes them or lumpsum absolutely. Whether or not there was the hurricane are not regardless of that, of course, brian kemp has an incredibly strong ground game and institutional knowledge of that state. And while donald trump may not like brian kemp all the time, and i'm sure that mike go both ways, but i'm not going to judge either man on their personal opinion of each other. They will, of course, worked together so to be able to turn on that ground game, because at the end of they, brian kemp is supporting donald trump and now erin that's i think you're totally right that in a normal world, it would be obvious that donald trump would want to be very close with the governor of the state of georgia. But the problem is he wasn't until very recently. He's the only reason you guys are saying to come together and say, this is the last thing i'm going to say about this. And we gotta go the reason for the rift is because brian kemp didn't backed donald trump up on his election lies the reason for the brokered relationship now is because donald trump needs georgia in order to win the presidency, looking that and look in the coming up next, donald trump's prediction of a kamala crash, that kamala harris economy were just talking about. Well, they didn't come true. Their new jobs numbers showing a resilient american economy, just a couple of days away from the election, plus, didn't oklahoma? schools superintendent, just turn schools into donald trump's personal collection plate.

The world's news network the economy stupid, then consider this really good news for kamala harris. Today's monthly jobs report. It was a blockbuster. Just listen we came in much hotter than expected on the nonbarbie jobs number 254,000 jobs were created. This comes with the election 32 days away, and the economy remains the top issue well, it's pretty amazing. So it's a really good numbers, very good numbers. So you know, there'll be talking about that yeah. I just hope these are the actual numbers in then not adjusted again. But well, if they find out it is a good man for the country. I'm an optimistic guy, but i gotta be honest. I thought there would be more red flags and had a communist parade in this report and there's not a single one. There's not one data zero point in here that i can point to. That's not good reviews of this latest jobs report, but donald trump says, don't believe any of it inflation is devastated. Our economy. It's one of the big problems we have. And on jobs we have the illegals have taken more jobs and anybody else you have illegals coming in and they're taking the jobs. And when you look at the numbers from that standpoint, it's a shame we have to get the job so the people that have lived here for a long time great, great citizens of our country it's a good jobs report. And this is really, i mean, we'll we'll have one more before the november election. But i think the signs are pretty clear when you talk to economists the economy is doing well, the chances of recession have pretty much past those are the facts. You might have to economists. They say that, but that's still not getting to the american people every day. And while mortgage rates might be coming down and there might be strong economic numbers murders including jobs numbers which is a great sign for the economy. Every day the american people see two numbers that they likely remember the price of gas because they drive past
