Despite the center of the storm is 200 miles south of honolulu and south of the big island. You mentioned the incredible amounts of rain which turned rivers no torrents rivers into torrents. At one point it was a cat five. We are going to have strong winds eventually. It is the rain ahead of the system that is causing the problems. We picked up almost 2 feet of rainfall in the parts of the big island in the last 24to48 hours. We will see that as a problem here as the rain falls on the Mountain Side and will continue to come down the mountains and speed up and go through the valleys. Here is the radar. The center of the storm. The rain ahead of it to the north and east. Hurricane warnings still flying for the Middle Islands here. Tropical Storm Warning for the

If they feel safe, if they feel unsafe, and they feel like their home is threatened. They can try to find a shelter. 35 shelters are open across the islands for those who need them. Another key figure in the effort to Squelch Trump figures is now cooperating. The wall street journal reporting david pecker, publisher of the National Enquirer has been granted immunity. He told prosecutors mr. Trump
knew about payments with the women who had sexual encounters with him. David pecker said he and Michael Cohen worked together for the 150,000 payment to karen mcdougal. American media was supposedly buying the rights to her story, but buried the story instead in a Tabloid Tactic called catch and kill. In an interview with fox news, the president lashed out at former allies who turned on him like Michael Cohen. Everything is wonderful. Then they get ten years in jail and they flip on the next highest one. It almost ought to be outlawed. The Associated Press reports the National Enquirer is known to have kept a safe with hush money and damaging stories. A according to ago to
the new york according to the New York Times prosecutors want to know how the president accounted for reimbursement of Michael Cohen to the payment of daniels dwae daniels. Federal prosecutors say cohen did know legal work in connection with the matter. The da review is said to be in the early stages. No comment from the trump organization. Attorney general Jeff Sessions has apparently had enough of attacks by President Trump. A. G. Pushing back after the president lashed out saying sessions failed to take control of the Justice Department. The president slammed the a. G. Regularly for more than a year since sessions recused himself from the russia investigation. He took the job and then he said im going to recuse myself. I said what kind of a man is this. The only reason i gave him the job is i felt loyalty. He was an original supporter. We have Cnns Kaitlan Collins at the white house with reaction from sessions and other top gop lawmakers. Dave and christine, we are seeing the feud with President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions intensify after President Trump said he never thought sessions actually took control of the Justice Department despite being Attorney General for a year and a half now. It is not unusual for the president to criticize sessions since he recused himself from the russia investigation. What is rare is that sessions fired back at his time saying the department of justice wont be swayed by politics. In a statement he said i took control of the department of justice the day i was sworn in. Later on in that statement, he says while i am Attorney General, the actions of the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. Although Jeff Sessions and the president have been at odds for some time now, what has changed is two leading senate republicans, graham and
grassley, are now talking about a future where Jeff Sessions is not the Attorney General. Listen to what senator graham had to say on capitol hill. The president s entitled to an Attorney General he has faith in. Somebody qualified for the job. I think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and fresh voice at the department of justice. Clearly Attorney General sessions doesnt have the competence of the president. Reporter right now, Jeff Sessions future will continue to hang in the balance. Dave and christine. Kaitlan collins, thank you. The Attorney General was at the white house yesterday for a meeting on Criminal Justice reform. We learned that the Criminal Justice overhaul has been tabled until after the midterms. This has been pushed by the bipartisan lawmakers and jared kushner. The senator has a problem with the sentencing revisions and wants to revisit the issue after
november. Sources tell Cnn The Trump Sessions Feud was not addressed at the meeting sdplchmeeting. The president bullies this man repeatedly on twitter and facetoface, nothing. Interesting dynamic. Interesting few days for Congress Member Duncan Hunter and his wife. They are indicted for alleged fraud. He seemed to throw her straight under the bus.

Thinking, you would see you would see numbers that you would not believe in reverse. The president of the United States is essentially declaring he is the stock market. Lets take a less hyperbolic look. Impeachment would cause a concern, but a crash . Resilient riding the longest bull market ever. The economy is strong. Corporate profits are booming thanks to the tax cuts. If trump were impeached and had to leave office, impeachment does not necessarily guarantee that. They may drop his trade war which wall street would love. If the market did crash, would americans be poor . No. Half of americans are invested in the stock market. Many of those are wealthy and super wealthy. The top 10 of earners, the
value of Stock Holdings is 1. 4 million. The bottom 50 is 52,000. A stock crash. How would that affect those people who dont have money in the stock market . Political reality. The senate will not impeach the president. It is in republican hands and will remain so. Mike pence f , if he is the president , more conservative. You take out the trade war. The stock market climbed 27 after clinton was impeached. Interesting parallel. That was a time of strong economy. Very strong economy. All of this political chaos. I talk to people who are traders and new york stock exchange. They say the political chaos is factored in here. Now it is about Interest Rates and earnings and trade. Let us know what you think about this earlystart on twitter. California republican Congress Member Duncan Hunter and his wife pleading not guilty in federal Court Thursday at the charges they illegally used 250,000 in Campaign Funds to furnish their lifestyle.
