Im not happy, okay . I can tell you, im not happy. President trump today expecting a resignation of health and Human Services secretary tom price. Tom price knows better. He railed against people using private jets. It was time for him to go. He had lost the confidence of the american taxpayer. Points of puerto rico are at risk for flash flooding this weekend. We will not rest until the people of puerto rico are safe. Were taking food, water and medicine everywhere. We would like it to be quicker, of course, its not where it needed to be, but we recognize theres Logistical Support to get there. Were dying here. We truly are dying here. And im tired of the president almost talking about how much its going to cost. Its costing lives. We are so grateful for your company. Good morning to you, im christi paul. And im Martin Savidge in for Victor Blackwell this morning. Millions of people in puerto rico are without food, water and the mayor is begging the federal government for more help. Heres the president s response in the last hour. The mayor of san juan was very complementary, a few days ago has now been told by the democrats you must be nasty to trip. And others of puerto rico are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 federal workers now on island doing a fantastic job. Now, the mayor of san juan has criticized the white house in response to Hurricane Maria. Lets listen to her as she made a plea to the president just last night. Were dying here. We truly are dying here. And i keep saying it, s. O. S. , if anyone can hear, you know, mr. Trump can hear us, lets just get it over with and get the ball rolling. Now, in a few moments, we understand the governor of puerto rico and fema officials are going to give an update on relief efforts understand way there. This morning, were going to bring you comments live here on cnn as soon as somebody steps up to the microphone. Meanwhile, President Trump is spending his Third Straight weekend at his golf resort. Brian, President Trump is set to travel to puerto rico tuesday. But this morning, hes been very critical of the mayor of san juan on twitter. Reporter yeah, thats right, martin. This seems to be what the president often does on saturday mornings. He gets up early and voices his opinion through his twitter feed. And is using it this morning to pick a fight with the mayor of san juan, puerto rico, carmen yulin cruz, who would be critical of the federal response, to the crisis in puerto rico. In particular, part of her criticism has been that the federal officials need to do a better job of working with the local authorities and the local First Responders to get the aid to the people who need it. This is what she said, earlier in the week, about the federal response. Take a listen. Using mexicali as a supply chain, we know where the hot stuff is, we know where to get our people involved. We can get the stuff where it needs to go. Reporter now, it seems to be that that criticism, from mayor cruz that the president is upset about. He said in a series of tweets this morning, that the leadership in puerto rico is lacking. And that they are not doing enough to connect with the federal government to get those resourcings to the people in need. Let me read you a couple of those tweets specifically. He said the mayor of san juan who was very complimentary a few days ago was told by democrats that you just be nasty against trump. This is where he begins the criticism of their response to the disaster. He said such more leadership about the by the mayor of san juan and others in puerto rico who said they are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 federal workers now on an island doing a fantastic job. Just to put this into context, the president of the United States, being very critical to some of the people most hardet hit by this tragedy, suggesting that they arent doing enough to help themselves in a way to defend himself and defend his administrations response to this crisis. Obviously, there are a lot of people in puerto rico that are hurting right now that are just looking for help, not necessarily criticism from a person who is in a position to provide that help. Ryan, will this be an example of the president trying to deflect, coming from the bad news, of course, of a cabinet resignation. And also to criticism about americas response to puerto rico, as far as federal aid . Reporter i mean, martin, this is a pattern that weve seen with this president. When he feels that he is under attack. When he feels that there are people criticizing his response to a situation, he doesnt take responsibility for that, or try a way to make the situation better, he usually goes after the people criticizing him. He was very critical to the mayor of london, if you may remember, a few months ago regarding his comments about terror taxi in that city. So, this is a president that never backs down to his critics. This is another example of this morning. But it doesnt really do all that much to fix the problem in puerto rico. The president also saying in his tweets this morning that hes going to travel to the region on tuesday which we knew. The first lady melania is going to come along with him. And perhaps when they get on the ground theyll get a better idea of whats going on in that country. Right now, instead of talk about getting the aid to people in need. Were talking about yet another twitter squabble between the president and another leader. Youre right, ryan nobles, of course, getting on the ground there could very much change the president s perspective, thank you. Lets go to puerto rico, at the fema briefing under way, brynn, help us understand the status of whats going on there. And how people are managing. Reporter well, christi, i mean, what you guys just said, i think thats one. Questions thats going to come out today is what do we expect when the president does get boots on the ground here in puerto rico and actually sees what is happening. Because its a dire situation in many, many parts of this island, especially when you head out further from san juan area when all of the major communications are here. The food distribution, everything is sort of the hub here in san juan. Its just that issue that we keep hearing over and over again, about getting it out to these other areas that were incredibly hard hit from this storm. So, were still getting updates every day. Thats what this News Conference is. This happens every morning. Its going to be a joint News Conference, including both fema and the leadership here in puerto rico. And we do know a little bit, weve heard that theyre constantly getting updates about the gas shortage. Checking in with gas stations and learning what is incoming. What kind of gas amounts are incoming. Because agency you guys have seen and weve been reporting, the lines are incredible. Miles long down roads. People waiting for hours, losing gas in the process while they wait to refuel. Other issues, of course, all of is that distribution of food and water into the areas. Of course, communications, electricity. So, theres a lot of issues, certainly, that will be addressed, when this conference gets under way. Well bring you more when we have more information, christi. Brynn, a quick question for you, how is the communication and the work, the dual work going on between the fema officers and the u. S. Personnel that are there . That have come there. The First Responders. And how are they working with local americans there who are trying to clean up and just get through all of this . Reporter well, i mean, i can tell you in the convention center, this is a giant hub of all of that. Those groups together. I mean, there are people marx theres army here. Theres also puerto rican officials here as well. So, the hub, it looks to be good. But certainly that is the question about how there is that, working together in outside areas. I mean, i can tell you personally, ive talked to sources of mine that are here from new york, that are working with local governments, hours outside of san juan, to help restore electricity. Help search urban and rescues. Help, you know, build ferry system stos get food and water across waterways. To get to people that havent had supplies in a couple days. So, i do know there are pockets of areas that theres people working together. But certainly, we know its not everywhere. We know its not perfect. So, these are questions were going to ask, christi. Brynn gingras, we appreciate it, thank you. Do stay close because there is somebody else there in puerto rico san juan, its Lieutenant General russel honore, were going to get the update there him.

And the breaking news this morning, President Trump is attacking the mayor of san juan, puerto rico who has been begging for more help as americans try to recover after Hurricane Maria. This comes after health and Homeland Services employee tom price has resigned. After the failure to repeal and replace obamacare. But its clear the president as was not pleased with the recent headline. I think hes a very fine person. I certainly dont like the optics. As i said, we rerenegotiate deals. Were renegotiating trade dealing. Were renegotiating, as an example, the f35 fighter plane. I saved hundreds of millions of dollars. So, i dont like the optics of what you just saw. Im not happy, okay . I can tell you. Im not happy. So, tom price is just the latest so far with departure from the trump white house. Just ten days after his inauguration, President Trump, youll remember, fired acting attorney general sally yates for refusing to defend the immigration band. Michael flynn was forced to remain a few months later. And then attorney general Jeff Sessions resigned, all of them did so accept Preet Bharara although set the president told him he could keep his job after reelected. He was hen fired. And james comey, and and in july, the director of office of government ethics, schwab resigned. Sean spicer quit, chief of staff Reince Priebus and also chief strategist steve bannon followed him out the door in august, and days later, Sebastian Gorka who left his position as adviser. And now tom price resigning over his use of private jets for government business. Last hour, i spoke to the former ethics lawyer for the george w. Bush white house. He thinks the private flights by trumps cabinets is unprecedent. I had several of those requests that i dealt with and we rarely approved it. If you needed a charter plane to go up north, to alaska about or something about that, wed sign off on it. We did not want administration employees jetsetting around, either at the expense of the taxpayers or third parties, accompanying others paying to put people on private planes. We just dont do that. Thats incompatible with public service. For more, im joined by cnn political Senior Writer rhonda summers. Thank you for being with us this morning. Well get to price in a moment. I have to ask you about the president s tweets in puerto rico. Lets just review. Such poor leadership ability by the mayor of san juan, quoting the president in his tweets and others in puerto rico not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 workers now on the island doing a fantastic job. Most of people in puerto rico are americans, of course. The president saying, they. What does he mean by that . Does he sort of get it or does it . I think what were hearing from the president s response, very strong comments from the mayor of san juan, puerto rico, you know, she said this is not a good news story as one of the top Homeland Security advisers said that people are dying. Its important for people to realize there are still millions of people who dont have power or electricity. I think theres still a lot that we dont know yet. The president and white house have been criticized quite a bit for their response. Many people are contrasting their response to tdevastation f Hurricane Maria and puerto rico. And what we saw in texas and florida. We still dont know how this is going to play out. The president said he will head to puerto rico on tuesday. Well see if maybe his stone changes or how he addresses people there, after they said theyre looking for him to do something for them. Americans look to their president to bring reassurance. This is not that case. I want to bring in tom price here. Lets talk about that. Just before price resigned, the president told reporters that he didnt like the optics of tom price flying private jets because it cost taxpayers about 1 million. Was it really sort of the bad headlines that did this . I think the number one rule of white house, as far as i learned covering him several years as a candidate is, you dont want to make the boss look bad. And the white house saying quote unquote wanting to drain the swamp. The president himself boasted that his Administration Made moves that has saved millions of dollars. The other reality is tom price is already in hot water with the president. The president has said openly and privately that the republicans havent been able to repeal and replace the Affordable Care act or obamacare. Thats a measure that tom price was instantly involved with. Of course, hes not been up on the hill as other members of the administration. I can Vice President mike pence has a bigger face. So, i think there are concerns outside of this issue that fueled tom price with president trmp. Hes pretty much a. W. O. L on the whole issue. Juana summer, we appreciate your insights. We get to get to Lieutenant General russel honore, he is there in puerto rico. He led the relief efforts, of course, after hurricane katrina. Lieutenant general, thank you so much for being there. I need to get your reaction for a couple things that President Trump has said this morning on twitter particularly saying that the mayor has poor leadership there. Poor leadership ability. And that theyre not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. You are there, on the ground. Are you seeing Community Efforts . Absolutely. The road i came in on yesterday, into the hotel where were staying, and the tourist district, was cleaned by local citizens. I think what we need to get to get everything kickstarted is to get the enablers going. As we called it in katrina, gas and communications. If people have gas and communications it would solve a lot of problems. The trouble in coordinating is that folks cant come in, we need to get the sheet on verizon and at t. Particularly verizon local partner to get the cell service up. Theres no reason why, that that isnt better in the outlying area. Yesterday when i got here. I had two bars on at t, and two bars on verizon. This morning, i have four. Thats an indication that theyre making the system inside of san juan better. But until they can get that out in the community where the mayors can communicate and the government can talk to the mayor to get the enablers up like gas and hospitals. And being able to respond to emergencies will be very hard. The other thing is getting the stores open. Getting the stores open. Walgreens came in here and they dominate the pharmaceutical industry. Most of the stores are not open. They need to get generators and get those stores open. Get it open, people got to go to work which means weve got to get gas. A recommendation to the government, give everybody in puerto rico a tank of gas. Hourly workers cant get to work so you cant get the store open. It
