Make my point through economic argument. But the reality of it is weve got a president that doesnt want to listen to reason, doesnt want to hear the economic argument. He wants to rule through fear. And through intimidation and that simply isnt president ial. Thats not american. Thats not what this country is about. We are a country of broad shoaled rtz and big hearts. We welcome the stranger. We put people to work. These individuals were vetted not once, not twice but three times. None of them have committed a crime. They have done nothing but contribute to the greatest country in the world. They willingly came forward and gave their information to the government and this president betrayed them. It doesnt need to get any fancier. Were not splitting atoms here. This is an unbelievable conversation. Patty hasnt had a chance to speak yet. I said this is no long ardog whistle, its a bull horn now. I think the argument this is a legal issue is completely disingenuous by this administration. The other policy that was legally challenged was the muslim ban but that didnt stop donald trump from vigorously defending it and going all out to fight for it up to the Supreme Court. So the idea that he thinks the dreamers are great and he loves them but hes not going to fight for them is disingenuous at best and look his past actions, his history, everything he has done and has said has shown us who he is. I dont see why we dont believe him and as for the issue of we make everything about race. No, sir. Donald trump makes everything about race. We are covering his policies, his agenda and what he says. Hes the president of the United States. Go ahead, john. Patty f donald trump ordered a Peanut Butter sandwich for lunch you would say it was racist. No. This conversation no, i would not. And javier, i really appreciate your passion and appreciate youre doing what you believe in but this president is not racist. He had a policy on daca. He campaigned for two years and said the same thing over and over. I will not on daca. He said he would protect those 800,000 people but eliminate daca and follow the rule of law. Thats not true. Van explain and ill let you go. Van. Honestly and im trying to listen to you really carefully. If he had had come out from the very beginning and said these dreamers got to go. Im building a wall and these dreamers got to go, then you would be on solid ground. On daca he was all over the place and that is a big part of the problem. He continued to send signals to the young people he would look out for them and hes not. You got to be fact based and ill let you have the last point. The program in place is not kicking out the 690,000 daca recipients. They have a twoyear period to figure this out and congress has an opportunity to pass a law that might impact them. An opportunity to. To do that. The dreamers have a twoyear period to figure it out. Listen. Trump could just Tell Congress to do it without terrifying and skarg all these kids. In other words theres a cruelty there. Hes much kinder to arpaio or people who want confederate flags than he is to these kids and thats wrong. Thats rs a dog whistle then. He literally said rest easy. Were going to focus on the criminals. He said that. They are focusing on the criminals. Maybe he should do whole wheat toast or watch his diet because its a lot of sugar and the white bread is not great. Thank you both. Thank you all. You got my point. Yall know what im saying.

And incredibly it could get up to that point of 190 to 195 in the region. You look at this feature. If youve got any friends or family or going to bet, a good idea to keep folks across the british islands, these islands in the direct path of the storm system inside the next 24 hours. Among the strongest tropical planet. Weve ever seen on our anything beyond a 4 or 5, catastrophic. The verbiage they use is Power Outages could last weeks to months and communication completely lost and uninhabitable for months as well. The storm moves across the region but the turks caicos in the direct path of the storm system. This is where it gets very interesting. Once it begins to interact with cuba and a lot of people fall in love with the middle of the track and think thats where the storm is forecast to go. It could go anywhere on the Utter Perifry of this, it could go on the outer perifry, which is the gulf and this is the most Consensus Zone of where the storm could end up. Anywhere along the cone could get direct impact. You see how the cone is created and highest concentration south of bahamas thursday into friday and some of the models say it will go the north and potentially move up, much like Hurricane Matthew did on the east of florida. And then about half of the otherer models want to take it in for southwestern florida. But notice outliars take it to the gulf. A decent number want to bring it up that coastline. Because of the nature of the land mass is how the u. S. Bends to the east. They will probably interact with the u. S. At some point. So the Steering Environment is a little different than Hurricane Harvey because there was very little steering. This particular motion will want to keep them to the south. At this point, the air we watch for the storm sz typically four to five days out. You think four to five days out saturday to sunday it could be 200 miles in any ch direction but either way florida looks the most likely to be impacted. I still had the chance. Its always better to leave it. Thank you so much. I want to go to cnns santiago in san juan for us tonight. Thank you so much and as i go to you i want to show our viewers. Look at the eye of this thing. It is enormous and that is whats barrelling towards whats in the caribbean and barrelling towards the United States. Laila is down in puerto rico for us. What is the weather like now . What can you tell us . Reporter well, don, certainly the winds have picked up in the last few hours and people are getting ready for the unknown. Not knowing what is coming with hurricane irma. But the governor is saying he expects this to be possibly catastrophic and of a magnitude puerto rico has never experienced before. And this is an island used to as much as one can be tropical storms and hurricanes, especially this time of year. But as we were out and about today we saw people who were boarding up the windows. People at the stores who were buying water that was hard to come by, hard to find water on the shelves. But the conversation i keep talking about because it set the tone for how people are feeling. I talked to one of the clerks and i said tell me what the products are in demnd for this hurricane and she stopped me right there and said hurricane, no. This is not a hurricane. This is a beast. A beast is how it was described today to me, don. Youre from puerto rico, correct . Reporter right, right, i am. You talked about going to the store and what theyre preparing for. How are they preparing for this . And my question really is, is there real fear about this . Reporter theres fear on a few levels. I think the governor today was asked a very telling question at his Press Conference. Theres the fear of the devastation, the damage, the Power Outages all of that that comes with hurricanes. Theres certainly that. But theres also fear of can they rebuild if this truly is that devastating . Remember this is an island that is in an economic crisis. Thats another storm theyre dealing with. 70 billion in debt right now and when it comes to the federal government because this is u. S. Territory, these are u. S. Citizens. There was a bit of a sigh of relief today when President Trump declared a state of emergency, meaning they will get more resources to help deal with this. But theres not just fear of devastation, theres also a fear of whos going to pay if we have to rebuild. Right on. You be careful down there. Well be getting to you a lot over the coming days on cnn. When we come right back how fllthral is preparing for irma. Major City Officials and a storm chaser who plans to hunker down for the storm.

People across South Florida preparing for the possibility of being slammed by hurricane irma. Right now the giant category 5 Storm Turning towards the caribbean and it could turn towards florida over the weekend. I want to bring in mayor philip levine. Good eveening to both of you. An evacuation goes into effect for Miami Dade County tomorrow. Why havent you decide stood evacuate Broward County . At this time Miami Dade County is standing a greater chance of having more of the effects of the storm than broward and so right now with the trajectory and the path its on, we havent issued an evacuation as of yet but that may come based on information we received through the evening tonight and tomorrow morning. Mayor levine, youve urged residents to evacuate ahead of the storm. We think rarnts incredibly serious storm. This is a monster. The county has not issued an evacuation order. The only one is for folks with special needs. I had a Press Conference this afternoon and said im recommending to leave the city. If you have a plan, get on that plan now and start moving out of the city. You can wait obviously a day but were recommending because as you know miami dade is a Barrier Island and only a few cause ways. I want to get people the opportunity to get out of miami beach with advance notice as possible. How are these preparations coming . What more needs happen before irma arrives . So first thing were advising people is they need to get their supplies and be prepared for three to five days and stay off the road until the storm comes. It could be Power Outages and downed power lines. We want to make sure theyre safe and sheltered in place and that only Essential Personnel are on the street after the storm hits. The second thing is as mayor levine has said were trying to make preparations to move those with medical needs to the shelters where they belong and also get the children with Medically Complex Needs Hospital where they belong. Our last shelters we have 43 available. We have pet friendly shelters and were telling people if they really need shelter we have accommodations up to 33,000 at this point and we can have more as needed. But were hoping that with the messages were sending today that people are going to shelter in place with family and friends. As we saw with harvey, thats the most recent example we saw the elderly people who our senior population were effected by it greatly. You mentioned disabled people mandatory evacuations. Whats the plan for the senior people in miami beach . Weve begun outreaching to our seniors, making sure they understand that we understand the opportunities to have them removed from the island. When the mandatory evacuation goes into effect matter of fact our teams been on the ground working with Homeless People on miami beach to make sure they have the opportunity to get out of the city but theres many things were doing. Portable pumps, portable generators. Stoping all Construction Products to make sure theres no debris owl there its communicating with our residents and our visitors. Its the storm surge that can come. You saw it in houston. Miami beach will expeer ynls, god forbid with a big hit, major storm surge. Thank you both. I appreciate it. Im sure well be seeing you here in the coming days. Now i want to bring in a Hurricane Chaser in key largo, florida. He joins us by phone. We get great information for you. So please be safe out there. Lets talk about the images were seeing of irma. Were looking at pictures now from a noah aircraft that flew into the eye of irma. This is at the top of the scale when it comes to severity of the power of the hurricane. This is off the charts. If theres possibly a category 6. Theres a few other examples but we dont see this very often. The Outer Islands im exfreemly concerned for them right now. Theyre going to take a direct hit with 185 mileperhour type winds, thats going to catastrophic. We still have time. Start evacuating, following the orders from your officials. Now is the time to act and get to your safe place. Yrv got to ask you about riding out the storm. Youre going to do it from your home in key largo. You muts be expecting to who knows what youre going to encounter. But it could be pretty bad. It could be very bad. I knew a lot of locations ive been eyeing for years god forbid this ever happen. So ive got some ideas im working out. But this tract is still unpredictable where im going to go myself with the Hurricane Truck to get data. And the way the forecasting is, its going to hit miami beach, the east coast, all the way up to tampa or just over the middle of the florida keys and cause a lot of damage. So this is extremely concerning. The keys are exposed what kind of preparation are we seeing from our neighbors . The local businesses were boarding up today. Tomorrow were going to see that in hyperdrive. But it always ramps up to this. And i notice this time people started preparing much earlier. And i think its probably because of what happened in houston and its fresh in everybodys minds in how bad this can be. Theyre evacuating. And i just hope everybody gets to a safe place. Please be safe. Well check in with you. Okay. Thank you. When we come back the president ending daca. But congress has yet to pass any of his legislative priorities. So what happened to trump the deal maker . The fresher things in life. Fresh towels. Fresh soaps. And of course, tripadvisors freshest, lowest. Prices. So if youre anything like me. Youll want to check tripadvisor. We now instantly compare prices. From over 200 booking sites. To find you the lowest price. On the hotel you want. Go on, try something fresh. Tripadvisor. The latest reviews. The lowest prices. To identify hazard trees. My hope is that the work were performing allows that these forests can be sustained and enjoyed by the community in the future. Together, were building a better california. Daca, the program to protected them from be dg ported. I want to talk about this with the author of truth about the truth about trump and senior Economic Advisor to the trump campaign. President trump is telling congress they have to do their jobs. Remember when he said i alone can fix this. Hes supposed to be there great deal maker, isnt he . Hes never been a great deal maker. The great deal makers tell you that you need three elements. One is truthfulness, the second is Trust Worthiness and the third is respect. And he told me he doesnt respect most people because they dont deserve it. Hes lied multiple times since taking office. And hes gone bankrupt so many times. So to begin with it was wrong. He said in the Art Of The Deal he was a deal maker. Hes a deal maker as much as hes a writer. We need him to succeed and he seems to be abdicating leadership and thats a serious problem. I had Fareed Zakaria and he said we have a president who is not governing. Hes struggling for
