Good to see you. Charlie lucky guy. Harris a lot of hard news to get to. Things were being here. Lets start with bracing for irmas wrath as seen from space show the storm larger than france, so powerful its registry thats detected earthquakes, and southport are coming on the drill. Mandatory evacuations for those in irmas path underway as people board up homes and businesses and scoop up supplies. Long lines at gas stations, some running on low fuel already. President trump issuing an Emergency Declaration ahead of irmas arrival and tweeting watching hurricane closely. My team is doing such a good job in texas and is already in fordham. No rest for the weary. Despite ongoing efforts after harvey, fema says team is ready for the hundreds of personnel positioned in irmas path. Watch. My confidence is high. Despite everything thats going on, this is what we test and train for, we have catastrophic plans. Right now, we are operating out of a Caribbean Office, we have a Caribbean Office that is specifically located in puerto rico. We have staff in the Virgin Islands as well. We have management teams, power teams, traditional safety, already in the state of florida ready for support. Harris harvey was rain, this one is mostly wind. There will certainly be wind, there will be rain. It wont be the rain like harvey, hopefully we wont see anything at that again. This is a cat 5, there are two other storms in the atlantic, one in the gulf as well. We dont have to watch those at this point, but this is the one causing all of the problems, getting very close to puerto rico. I will also tell you, this is a large storm in size, the winds are in a fairly small area right around the center of the storm. If this storm goes just to the north of puerto rico, hopefully we can get the worst of it along the shore. Certainly there will be rain, and strong winds, but hopefully not the 185 Miles Per Hour wind winds. Towards a Virgin Islands, there is going be an incredible damage there. Well see devastating consequences. After that point, then it gets much more instinct for us here across the u. S. I will tell you, we talked about a cone of uncertainty, this is uncertain. We know the storm is going to continue to pull off towards the west and make a righthand turn. When it makes this pretty sharp righthand turn, you see its running along the coast of florida. Last year we had hurricane matthew, that did the same thing. Fortunately it stayed just off shore. We might not see this make any kind of a landfall in florida. Georgia and south carolina, be watching as well because will continue to talk a lot about that. Florida obviously the short term, you are going to have thi this. We still cant say if there will be a direct hit in florida or not, so everybody here needs to be prepared. Sometimes we have a really good idea where storms are going and sometimes we dont. Unfortunately, this is one of those that we dont. Harris the fema director and others have been singing today that we want to be careful to say that this hasnt hit United States territory already or that it wont because we have violence done in the caribbean and weve got all of puerto rico. Thats under the gun right now. The u. S. Virgin islands getting it right now, puerto rico later on today and tonight. Certainly getting some very eight big impacts from it. Their role definitely be impacts from it there. There will be impacts and likely a landfall in the u. S. , with its florida, georgia, or south carolina, we can say just yet. Harris that cone of uncertainty is wider than a cone it would seem on this. Glad youre watching it for us, rick. Will check back as the news warrants. Sandra a battle brewing on capitol hill or the or the President Trumps decisions to rescind an obama era immigration policy, protecting immigrants brought here illegally as children. Democratic leadership saying lets get moving on he allegedly affixed, but the speaker of the house saying not without the president s backing. We, today, are calling on speaker ryan and leader mcconnell to immediately put the dream act on the floor for a vote in the house and senate, if a clean dream act does not come to the floor in september, we are prepared to attach it to other items this fall until it passes. Will not be advancing legislation. Does not have a supportive President Trump because were going to work with the president on how to do this legislation. If we have ledges they should come through here that is worked with and support a by the president , im very confident that our numbers will support it. Sandra President Trump also weighing and defending his move. Watch. I have a great heart for the folks were talking about. Great love for them and people think in terms of children, but there really young adults. I have a love for these people and hopefully now congress will be able to help them and do it properly. Sandra the president also taking to twitter to say that congress now has six months to legalize daca, something the Obama Administration was unable to do. If they cant, i will revisit this issue. Charlie, ill ask you the big question. What happens after all of this . Charlie the ball is in congress is court. The interesting thing of all of this is to see how this has been controversial for a long time. Ever since president obama put it in place. Suddenly, when it goes away, we find out that theres all this unity on capitol hill on both sides to have this. To sit there and listen to Chuck Schumer talking about how we need to do this, you want to ask, where have you been for the past ten years . You been in congress area. They didnt do anything about this. Its kind of bizarre. You start to wonder, are they playing politics . Sandra does not make the president s tweet fare based charlie just said . Marie i agree with charlie, its amazing to see the amount applicable pressure that doesnt seem to be mounting to fix this. When the dream act came before congress a couple times in the past, democrats voted against it. Those two years youre talking about when he had all of them but we decided for health care and immigration. Republic cant figure how to fix it. I think what youll see is even Lindsey Graham this money was asking for leadership and guidance from the white house. What do you want any bill, how do you want to do this . Republicans now want to get this done. I remain worried that congress cant really get anything done and 800,000 people are counting on them to. Its more than worrying. As disturbing. Sandra i want to bring in former obama senior advisor, David Axelrod and his thoughts that if Congress Fails to relegalize daca, hell revisit it. Kennedy hes tackling a couple of different things. One is the legality of it. Former president obama said in 2011 that thats not how democracy works, that he cannot just circumvent congress and crack his own immigration policy which is what he did in 2012 and it was politically convenient for him when he was running for reelection and thats when he signed the executive order. Its really interesting because his own lawyer who helped crack the executive order, president obamas lawyer, said that if this were to be challenged in court, it would lose. They knew they were on shaky legal ground. The interesting thing, you talk about Congress Working together, both sides actually want immigration to work out. They have not been able to do it. Theyve taken so many whacks of the pinata, the only real chance they had was in 2009 and 2010 when they had both congress and the presidency. Thats when president obama should have tackled immigration reform, not on his own through this fiat executive order. Sandra harris, six months, do they come up with a fix . Harris it took them seven years to copy something on health care and we didnt see effects as marie pointed out. You ask where democrats are in this issue, we are trying to figure out how every buddy else can be dictated to on getting on the right side of history ahead of election time. They really didnt want to tackle this issue specifically because they do not want to put themselves in harms way. It is interesting though as we stand at the press, youve got a democrat who says we have to move on, this is something we can get done this week. You do have a bipartisan effort here come out why not check this off as a win going and because you can get those numbers up on approval and prove you can do something and that you actually earned what you got in august. Charlie this is a conundrum about politics in washington. The issues that helps them get elected, if you saw the issue, you dont have the issue anymor anymore. Harris that is a sad. Charlie but its true. You have a case where as long as there are these people in the balance and sadly, i think more democrats than republicans on this issue, as long as these people are in the balance, democrats running for election can bang the drum and get voters out. Sandra theres a lot to deal with as well return. Weve got Harvey Relief being voted on. We have a live look at the house for right now. The vulture being tallied as we speak. 8 billion being voted on as obviously lawmakers will be ringling over the debt ceiling. This will go onto the senate. 8 billion for Harvey Relief. The house voting right now. Well keep watching it for you. There is still a lot more to say about daca, how states are fighting to protect dreamers with lawsuits.

Virgin islands, this is an earth cam. That does not look very pretty. Were watching this hurricane develop and millions of people in the way of this possible hurricane making landfall in florida. This is a powerful hurricane ever recorded in the atlantic. Ed is now taking aim at puerto rico and as you just looked, at the u. S. Virgin islands. It is an unlabeled hurricane to watch. Well continue to watch the path of this very, very powerful storm. Coincidentally as the houses right now voting on hurricane Harvey Relief fund, 8 billion. Heres another one developing in the atlantic, were watching it for you. Harris knew excerpts out ahead of the release of Hillary Clintons new book. She recently, she reportedly takes responsibility for her election loss, but continues to blame russia, sexism, former fbi director, james comey, and Bernie Sanders. She writes his attacks caused lasting damage, making it harder to unify progressives in the election and pave the way for trumps cricket hillary campaign. Senator sanders is brushing it all off. He told hill, he has no interest in the blame game and its time to look forward, not backward. Meanwhile, Hillary Clintons memoir also dives into the Russian Election meddling. She writes she followed every sumo development and even appears to criticize her former boss i do wonder sometimes about what would have happened if president obama had made a televised address to the nation following the 26 teen warning that our democracy was under attack. May be more americans would have woken up to the threat. Needless to say, this does not help the Democratic Party heal anytime soon. Marie, are you paying attention question marks before im paying attention. Marie i knew that was coming to me first. Hillary clinton isnt wrong about Bernie Sanders. It hurt her in the primary election. A bunch of factors contributed to her loss, a lot were strateg strategy. I do think bernie hurt her in general. When i said repeatedly is Hillary Clinton is not the future of the Democratic Party and neither is Bernie Sanders. This is all interesting and gives us something to talk about, but i know a lot of conservatives dont believe me when i say bernie is not where the party is going, harris are they soulsearching . They cost a lot. Kennedy they go out there. Then you know you ought to Pay Attention when you cover your ears. Its so laughable that some one who ran for president is claiming that they sustained a little but have damage during the primary, thats what supposed to happen. She should have written at the end of that paragraph, good job, bernie. You did just fine because thats what youre supposed to do. Youre supposed to inflict as much damage as a positive can on your opponent so they lose. Preferably to you. I dont think youre supposed to get through the process with eight good day sir. I wonder what would have happen if president obama i say i wonder what would have happen if you are a viable candidate. Marie dont maybe follow that. Harris she should have come out stronger. Who she should really be mad at is Debbie Wasserman schultz. Thus the person who greeted the headwind. Marie a look at the people who voted for bernie and the primary and donald trump in michigan, wisconsin, ohio, i agree with kennedy that this is not why she lost and she was a flawed candidate and a lot of other ways, but it did have an impact and its ludicrous to say it didnt. Sandra i want to break in because governor rick scott of florida is coming in right now on the path of irma, hes watching it, hes activated another 900 members of the National Guard. Lets listen. Ive directed the remaining 6,000 of aylmers of the floor to National Guard to report for duty no later than friday morning. I positioned 13 helicopters and high water vehicles are on standby. The florida National Guard and escorted him with other states and the National Guard bureau to ensure approximately 30,000 troops, 4,000 trucks, 100 helicopters, and air evacuation crews are ready to support our state. The Wildlife Commission has arranged teams for potential deployment. They are standing by for initial response based on initial storm impacts. Trucks, river patrol boats and atv are prepared for evacuation support, search and rescue missions, or any additional needs. The florida permit of law enforcement, the department of highway safety, and other partnering agencies identify resources for deployment and response. The florida Highway Patrol is monitoring road and traffic conditions to ensure roadways are clear. Each region has established a minimum of two Response Teams and the just explaining team ready to deploy to infected areas. Utility providers. Ive been in Constant Contact with floridas utility providers and their already working on staging and asset allocations they can return power as quickly as possible following the storm. Theyre actively prepositioning resources throughout the state and in neighboring states. We know from previous storms how important it is for power to be restored as quickly as possible. I will be talking to the utilities often throughout the day and have urged county and city officials and coding sheriffs and Police Chiefs to reach out to the utility providers to Work Together in response to irma. Lake okeechobee. Water levels in lake okeechobee are being initial inspections will begin once the lake approaches 17 feet. The lake level currently is 13. 68 feet. Based on current rainfall forecasts at this time, we have no Major Concerns with the dike, but we will remain in Constant Contact in the u. S. Army corps of engineers to monitor the dik dike.
