Louisiana Governor Edwards also last hour with an update on the situation in his state. We have a very dangerous situation on our hands, with Hurricane Ida, and we can expect devastating impacts to continue for most of the next 24 hours or so, as the hurricane passes through the state. I can tell you right now, we do not anticipate any overtopping of the Mississippi River levees or overtopping of the levees in the hurricanerisk Reduction System around the Greater New Orleans area. Arthel that is good news for sure. Look at these images. We have Fox Team Coverage of this massive storm. Meteorologist Adam Klotz is live in the Fox Weather Center with the latest, but were going to go to Mike Tobin which is fighting and bracing the winds there. I think you are on Canal Street, the edge of the french quarter. Mike, take it away. Well, i am on Canal Street. You can see we are certainly getting buffeted by some significant wind shear. The one thing is that were not really at the worst of it ye
A lifethreatening storm. Our other big story is the chaos in afghanistan. A u. S. Military drone taking out at least two bombers in a vehicle packed with explosives on the way to the Kabul Airport. But first, weve got live Team Coverage of Hurricane Ida. Mike tobin is in New Orleans, and Casey Stegall is in Baton Rouge. But we begin with Adam Klotz whos tracking the storm from the Fox Weather center. Adam hey there, yeah. Tracking a storm that continues to at this point slowly weaken but not weak by any stretch of the imagination if, hanging on to a category 4 storm, winds at 130 miles an hour. When this initially made landfall, it was moving at 16 miles an hour, its now slowed down to 10. It means if youre in the path of this, youre dealing with the winds and Heavy Rain, youre going to stick with it a little bit longer, its going to move out of your area just a little slower than hours ago. The center is moving up to the north and west, New Orleans off to the Eastern Side of this stor
american to visit the island in 25 years, this is a significant moment in the battle with china that exists on so many economic and military fronts. the communist nation has been caught buying up farmland for unknown reasons in the united states. also expanding their military bases with a stated goal of dominating the united states and making themselves the number 1 super power in the world. now they re choosing the united states of behaving like gangsters after the secretary state antony blinken said any crisis that follows this visit would be entirely on beijing. here s their response. the united states should and must be full responsibility for this. the remarks but secretary of state blinken confounded right and wrong and showed the mentality and gangster logic of some american people that i can provoke you wantonly but you can t oppose me or defend yourselves. martha: she claims she s just visiting taiwan and that that is allowed under the agreements that exist betwe
This visit would be playing with fire. where do you think this is going? martha, i support spoker pelosi s trip to taiwan unconditionally. but with an explanation. as petty and self-absorbed as washington looks like from the outside, you ought to see it from the inside. this entire exercise began with spoker pelosi s ego. now, when you re talking about a nuclear war with china, you should take your ego out back and shoot it. but that s not speaker pelosi s way. she knows after the mid terms she s not going to be speaker anymore. she may not be in congress anymore. so i think she thought up this trip as a way to say well, look at me one more time. she talked to the white house.
Some knucklehead, either on spoker pelosi s staff or the white house leaked it. on top of that, the president spoke publicly about it and said oh, maybe she shouldn t go. well, at that event, she had to go. weakness or the appearance of weakness invites the wolves. so i m glad the speaker went. if she really wanted to demonstrate strength from the united states of america, she would have made it a bipartisan trip. she would have brought kevin mccarthy along, brought the secretary of defense along. but no, it s her. it s the speaker pelosi show and added benefit of all this is that we re not talking about inflation or crime or the open border or her husband s stock trades. and that s the way this town works. martha: you know, i think
