Closure in the discovery of a world war ii bomber that crashed half aworld away. Thats this hour on Shepard Smith reporting. Good afternoon. Im Leland Vittert in for Shepard Smith. Folks in the panhandle and across the southeast bracing for storm surge, tornadoes and flash flooding. Tropical Storm Force Winds started lashing the florida coast earlier this morning. This atlantic Hurricane Season doesnt officially start until friday. We already have our first named storm of the year and its making a mess for millions this memorial day. Out in the storm, phil keating live in panama city, florida as the winds are coming ashore. Phil, how bad is it . Well, things are actually getting worse here the last few minutes. We had one of our very first breaks of rain all day long here. The beach has been desolate. A couple of troupers over there trying to take in the looks. But its cabin fever up and down the gulf coast because, day after day, its been nothing but rain. Right now the storm, alberto, has actually slowed down its northbound march eight miles per hour. Its about 25 miles still offshore. The center of this disorganized subtropical storm. So the Actual Center should make landfall around the panama city, d disten, florida area. States of emergency have been declared in florida, alabama and mississippi. Most places along the gulf coast youre allowed to go to the beach but not many people want to do that in this weather. Going in the ocean has been ruled out, forbidden because the risk of downing is intense. Riptides and rip currents persist. We have seen a few surfers earlier today. As you can see right now, not a person, not a surfer, nobody in the water when its been a absolute washout of a memorial day weekend. The governor of florida, rick scott, his Emergency Operations center is fully staffed. He said theyre taking this storm seriously and he thinks everybody else should as well. Take a listen. I know the state is ready and ive talked to sheriffs in the panhandle. Were having updates. Everybody is ready for this. I hope its not bad at all. The real impact of this storm has been tens of millions of dollars in tourism revenue that have been completely lost. A lot of hotels had cancellations. People stayed home and stayed put because doesnt seem to make much sense to go to the beach when you cant go out on to the sand. Its been day after day of a barrage of rain and winds. Maximum sustained winds right now for alberto are reported by the National Hurricane center as reaching 50 miles an hour. It had been up to 60 earlier today. So its weakening a touch. Still got a ways to go. Besides from the rain, 4 to 8 inches for floridas panhandle with some places getting up to 12 inches of rain. Tomorrow and the next day moves up the tennessee valley, into the carolinas and the ohio river valley. Leland . We keep hearing about the Flooding Risk as this moves north. What about south of you, phil . Its been a washout east coast and west coast. Absolutely. There was a memorial day parade scheduled in sarasota. What is your name . Jerry penn. Are you on vacation or live here . Im on vacation. How is your memorial day . Im alive. Therefore im very happy. Just remembering some things and the guys that i was with. Ill enjoy it. Im not at home and im not working. Thank you for your service. Thank you. A lot of things have been cancelled. Sarasotas memorial day parade, the beach party in ft. Lauderdale was cancelled. In miami, miami beach, they had an air and sea show this memorial day weekend. They cancelled the sea portion. The sea is too rough. The air show did continue. Far smaller crowds than would have been expected. Leland . We appreciate you cancelling your memorial day plans to be there covering for us. Phil keating in panama city. A few folks head out, putting their toes in what should be scold and stormy water. Phil, thank you. President trumps on again off again meeting with kim jongun might be back on again. In a tweet yesterday the president said u. S. Officials are now on the ground in north korea to prepare for the summit. The state Department Says the team is in the dmz between north and south korea just last week. President trump pulled out of the june 12th meeting because of open hostility from the north. Now he seems to be taking a more positive tone. Greg palkot live in seoul, south korea. So night time there, greg. What more do we know about these talks happening just north of the dmz . Well, what we seem to be hearing from a lot of our sources on the ground here, leland, these talks are crucial to whether this proposed summit between President Trump and north Korean Leader kim jongun goes forward. Theyre happening along the dmz on the north side of the border and into north korean territory exactly where this surprise summit took place over the weekend between north Korean Leader kim and president moon. The u. S. Is trying to figure out whether pyongyang is really willing to denuclearize. Its a high powered team. On the u. S. , its led by the u. S. Ambassador to the philippines. Hes a former u. S. Ambassador to south korea. A real Old State Department hand when it comes to north korea, korean american son kim. On the north korean side, the vice foreign minister, cho son wi. She commented last week that Vice President pence was a political dummy and nearly blew the summit out of the water. The talks are shrouded in secrecy. What were hearing from north korea state media, they will denuclearize on their own timetable despite any external factors. Thats probably what the u. S. Negotiators dont want to hear, leland. So we had those talks on the dmz. Any idea on premeetings happening perhaps in singapore where the summit is set to take place, greg . Yeah, very quickly here, leland, a couple of fronts in singapore. The possible venue of this summit, we understand the White House Deputy chief of staff joe hagan is on the ground with a team. He will be meeting north korean officials there. Theyll be going over the nuts and bolts of a possible summit. We also understand if things really go forward there could be another meeting with mike pompeo and a north korean official for the all goes well. Its just over two weeks from now. A lot of ground to cover in very little time, leland. Greg palkot, thank you. With that, we bring in gordon chang, Foreign Affairs consultant. Nice to see you. We got a tidbit there from palkots reporting that the North Koreans want to denuclearize on their own timetable. Their timetable, our timetable have to be vastly different. Certainly. We want the North Koreans to dismantle immediately. The North Koreans want to dismantle their program never. So yeah, a difference in timetable. Is there an idea that you can have a deal that we could propose right here . We could write it up that the North Koreans and the americans would accept . It seems as though theres a pretty big chasm there. Theres no deal that both sides would accept. This is an issue of not of what the North Koreans want. This is what President Trump will do to use American Power to push the chinese and russians out of the way and do other things to make sure the North Koreans dont have any money. If they dont have money, they cant launch missiles, detonate nukes and kim jongun cant give gets to senior regime members to buy loyalty. Which means he has to give up his weapons. So basically its up to the Trump Administration to use the elements of American Power. We know the kim regime likes imports. You talk about American Power. President trump addressed the naval midshipmen graduating at annapolis. Take a listen. Were building that modern fleet manned by the greatest sailors anywhere in the world. Were sharpening the fighting edge of everything from marine infantry squads to combat ships to deliver maximum lethal force. The enemy has to know we have that. We know that kim jongun watches american news. He hears that. What does he make of it . Certainly theres been a number of threats the americans have made over the course of the last year. Its also john bolton, when he was a fox news contributor. Thats one of the things that has forced the North Koreans to change their policies but the south koreans and the chinese. Thats why kim is there right now. Its not only the sanctions but the threat of the use of force. Go back to whether the president is willing to use coercive u. S. Power to not only affect north korea but affect the chinese. Things like black listing the bank of china. Do you get the sense theres the political will in the administration to do that . Not at this particular moment. Kim seems to know that at some level, right . Or thinks it . I think that he sort of looked at what happened with zte. Zte is that embattled Chinese Telecom equipment manufacturer. The chinese said publicly, youre not going to get a trade deal, mr. Trump, unless you give us sanction relief on zte. The president said he will do that. Trump wilted under pressure that doesnt mean he cant push the chinese around again. Our president needs to do that as a demonstration for kim. Once he sees that trump is willing to bully the chinese a little bit, then i think kim will actually start to play ball with us. Until we to that, this is going to be very difficult. If youre kim jongun, you see him bully the chinese, its easier to be bullied as the North Koreans has the chinese. Gordon chang, thanks for your insight. A lot to talk about before june 12. Rudy guliani says he changed his mind about the special counsels investigation. What he says happened that has him now saying the whole investigation wait for the word rigged.

The day after her funeral, the former president checked into a houston hospital with a blood infection. He stayed there nearly two weeks. George h. W. Bush is americas longest living former president. He will be 94 on june 12. President trumps lawyers says he now convinced that special counsel Robert Muellers investigation into the 2016 election is illegitimate. Rudy guliani said he came on board hoping mueller would operate in good faith. He said learning that the fbi had an informant talked to Trump Campaign staffers suspected of having ties to russian taints the investigation. Just further reiterates what ive come to conclude after two months of being in this and the president knew from very early on, which this is rigged. You have 13 democrats, youve got a focus on things that didnt happen. No russia collusion. No obstruction. Just defending yourself. Now were into the basis of it being illegitimate. The president and his lawyer claim the informant was spying on the campaign. The top democrat on the House Intelligence Committee pushing back on that. Theres no evidence to support that spy theory. This is just a piece of propaganda the president wants to put out and repeat, this is part of the propaganda machine. Lets spread the completely salacious story and lets say that it needs to be investigated and give it a life of its own. Guliani said he wont let the president testify in muellers investigation until this is straightened out. Kevin corke live at the white house to straighten out all of the news for us. Kevin, mr. Guliani making a lot of news over the weekend. No question about that. Listen, he frankly acknowledged in the interview whether a colleague, bill hemmer, a really vetting back and forth that the administration is trying to muddy the waters by pointing out the infairness of the probe while calling for the immediate conclusion. He went as far as to sort of blame the Previous Administration for its lack of avenue and so did the president. Lets go to twitter and show youd what President Trump had to said about the obama administrations handling of russian meddling or lack thereof. He said why didnt president obama do something about the socalled russian president when he was told about it before the election . He goes on to add this. Because he thought crooked hillary was going to win. He didnt want to upset the apple cart. He was in charge, not me and did nothing. That tweet and doesnt like it and of course guliani public denouncements of this back and forth and in particular as it relates to the Mueller Probe is pitting the white house against what he believes is an unfair and frankly unsafe probe by mr. Mueller. Listen. The reality is, were not going to sit him down if this is a trip for perjury. Until were convinced of that. If they dont show us these documents, were going to have to say no. Let me emphasize, he wants to explain that he did nothing wrong. Its us, the lawyers, that have to convince him that this is a trap. Its a trap so says rudy guliani. Special counsel muellers investigation has security guilty pleas from 19 people and three companies that we know of. He didnt point out the fact of the indictments and guilty pleas, none of them to this point have had anything to do with russian collusion. Leland good point there. What are republicans saying about this . Fellow republicans, that is. I lost you for a second. I believe you were asking me about this idea that marco rubio is acting as a bit of a bullwart against the administration. Listen to what he had to say about trying to make the argument that maybe the administration is on shaky ground here. Listen to marco. If theres an fbi informant or any action targeting the campaign, we want to know about it and it should be punished. As far as what ive soon to date, there was an investigation of certain individuals that have a history of that predate the president ial campaign of 201516. The idea being, if they had something to do with russian meddling, they should be investigated. It was not at least so far according to marco rubio. Leland kevin corke at the white house. Thank you.
