For winds to pile up, damage, for rain to pile up also. Winds right now currently in new orleans up to 60 miles an hour. Closer to the center of circulation, obviously all of these wind meters have been knocked out at this point. 60 about as high as we ve seen, a lot of spots 30 to 40mileanhour gusts. We think the wind numbers are going to climb up. This is forecasted wind gusts, numbers getting up closer to 70 or 80.

States. Good evening, gentlemen. Cnn has new reporting that the former president is more obsessed than ever with the 2020 election. According to one adviser, he is listening to the bottom of the bottom of the crazies in the barrel. What does that say to you about his state of mind, but you know it s true. Clearly he s delusional. No serious person could possibly think that donald trump is going to be reinstated, as em, in august. We re just moving on into the twilight zone here. There is no basis in truth or fact what the former president is saying. And i think most people, i would argue that virtually every member of congress knows that s insane, what he s talking about. It seems like he s just down there talking to his friends at this country club. And i m not sure who is listening to him other than his most devoted followers. It is this nonsense and i think more republican members need to call this out. That s part of why the base is believing this nonsense. They re not hearing an a
Honestly, i thought i was getting my floors cleaned. Then i learned, my mop could be loaded with bacteria. That means i gotta clean my mop too? ugh. So i got a swiffer wetjet to get a cleaner, clean! i stick on a fresh pad. Boom! it s ready to go. The spray breaks down dirt. And the pad absorbs it deep inside. Unlike my mop that can spread it around. And wetjet s even safe on wood! all this? buhbye. It s so simple! i get a cleaner clean every day. Try wejet with a money back guarantee. Cnn learning tonight the former president is more obsessed than ever with the 2020 election. Advisers saying trump is listening to those around him who are the crazies at the bottom of the barrel. At the same time, sources telling cnn there s growing concern among law enforcement officials over heightened chatter on right wing social media platforms about overturning the results of the election. They fear it could lead to more violence. We have a special report. Meanwhile, president joe biden meeting tod
And the new warning from the fda before you think about snacking on a cicada this summer. Welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. It s thursday, june 3rd. You talk about cicadas like you re not involved here. This is about you. You need to recuse yourself from this story. I probably should have. Much more on that in a moment. We begin with new cnn reporting, the justice department looking at potential obstruction of justice in connection with the ongoing investigation of congressman matt gaetz and his alleged sexual relationship with a minor. Investigators have information that alleges gaetz and an associate discussed plans to speak to gaetz s exgirlfriend about an investigation in 2020. His exgirlfriend is considered a key witness against the congressman. Paula reid has the latest from washington. Paula, tell us what s happening here. Good morning.
