The National Hurricane center is projecting landfall in about seven hours from now, midnight, along the texas and louisiana border. If you do not evacuate, your life will be in immediate danger. Lastminute pleas to leave as hurricane laura roars towards the gulf coast. I went through hurricane ike. I lost everything. Everything. We had to rebuild, start over.

President ial debate ive ever seen in my life. This felt like an assault. It felt like an assault on our senses, an assault on her president ial campaign process. Weve got 2 minutes . Forget that, im talking over you. Oh, boy. My response . What did you expect . From the media or the debate . If you were hoping for lincolndouglas, you deserve lincoln logs. But the media is just performing the script, reacting as if trump carpet bombed canada because he wouldnt play nice to joe and because joe seems so overwhelmed, but this is what they do any time trump his face. The only thing the media hates more than trump is trump space. But i had it worse. I had to watch the debate with jasper. While dana was partying in ohio, i had 90 pounds of dog wrapping up the mike rubbing up against my hip. And you loved it. I did. But i thought it was a great evening. It was a great evening, an exciting evening. By every measure we won the debate easily last night. I think is very weak, i dont mind debating
Bret, good evening to you. President trump said today he was getting good reviews for his debate performance last night despite the fact that one of his debate coaches, the former new Jersey Governor Chris Christie said the president was too hot. And a question the president fielded last night on the racial unrest and weitzer premises and in the United States was still echoing today. Leaving the white house for Campaign Events in minnesota this afternoon, President Trump claimed he knew nothing about the right Wing Group Proud Boys he referenced in last nights debate. I dont know who the proud boys are. Youll have to give me a definition because i really dont know who they are. I can only say they have to stand down, let Law Enforcement to their work. I dont know who proud boys are but whoever they are they have to stand down. President trump was widely criticized for this moment in the debate when Chris Wallace asked him about racial unrest in the nation. Are you willing, tonight, to
Favor to 134 against. The politics of it fascinating with President Trump and top Congressional Democrats all pushing to get this done. To this point, Senate Republicans appear to be what could hold americans back from getting more help. Every Senate Democrat is for it but unfortunately, we dont have the republicans on board. Today i am telling donald trump, dont just talk about it, act. Some Senate Republicans sound skeptical about spending more this point. How can the republicans vote against more aid when millions of americans are still unemployed through no fault of their own . Yeah, because its terribly untargeted, right . Why would we be sending 2,000 to people with a sixfigure income who have had no suspension, no reduction of their income at all . But i House Democrats as this is about helping those really in need. It is not for the wealthy. This will be for individuals of 75,000 or less, so yes, we absolutely need to do that. Some republicans are calling for cuts elsewhere or
Ridiculously low 600 to 2,000, or 4,000 for a couple. Im also asking congress to immediately get rid of the wasteful and unnecessary items from this legislation. Emily trump taking issue with spending for the Kennedy Center in washington, a billion for the smithsonian, 7 million for reef management and 25 million to combat invasive asian carp. Tonight wont republicans oppose adding more and say spending should be targeted to people who need it. Its terribly untargeted. Why would we be sending 2,000 to people with a sixfigure income who have had no suspension or reduction of their income. This money isnt sitting on a shelf. We are going to print it or borrow it. I think the age should be much, much more targeted, targeted to people who have lost their job. We are in crisis because of nancy pelosi politicizing this. Her refusal to deliver covert relief. Most provisions were bipartisan, paycheck protection program, support for hospitals or vaccination distribution. We couldve gotten it do
