scooping up massive amounts of moisture from the ocean, we will speak with north carolina lieutenant governor dan forest just moments from now but we begin with fox team live coverage, jonathan hunt in conway, south carolina, leland vettert in north carolina but we now go to senior meteorologist janice dean, she s tracking those storm from the fox extreme weather center, janice. janice: yes, and if i could go back a few days, national hurricane center forecasted the storm so well, look at what we were predicting, they were predicting 7 days ago and look at the center of the storm, right near north and south carolina, that s credit to them, saving lives, they continue to do so, thank you to the national hurricane center and all the forecasters out there. this is florence s path, this is a classic cape verde storm, it was a category 4 and now it weaked but the legacy of the storm will not be the sustained
checks after they rescued hundreds of people from massive flood waters since yet, newbern bracing for another possible storm surge for epic flood waters, fox news team coverage continues we willland vittert who is in new bern, what s the latest, leland. they were rescuing in the past couple of hours, as you look into the street you can see as far as the eye can see flooded homes, you can also see water coming into the flood waters, the rising waters will continue to destroy more and more inside all of these homes, one of the res dheants came to look at the house, you put rain on top of flood waters and that equals depair and that is certainly a feeling of so many. he had gotten out, others watched the water rise and had to be rescued before they got out, today is the first real day of recovery and assessment, earlier in the day we were out
elections and i think the great concern out there is if there s no ability to demonstrate that republicans can govern the country. we couldn t quite get the repeal of obamacare, we ve got to get tax reform done, it ll help the economy, it s good for the american people and it ll help our showing in the 2018 midterms. leland: i grez you would agree if tax reform isn t done, it ll show the showing in the 2016 elections? no question about it. leland: john, i appreciate your thoughts, good to see you and we look forward you on the radio. kmox. go cardinals. leland: there you go. liz, only a couple of months until pictures and catchers report? definitely less than 10 days, closer to 90. it s coming up, don t worry. ly remind you. leland: i m sure you will, we look forward to it. liz: after the break u.s. troops are all over the world defending freedom, what they re fighting
the leaders he s meeting with? well, i think as you said, the president s statements are carefully parsed. when we look at, for example, what he said in china about i don t blame the chinese. if you cut it right there it sounds, oh, great. but goes on to say that the chinese are still engaged in theft of intellectual property. and in his speech at apec we look at at that. and what he said with vladimir putin on the plane, what he said was, okay, he had said this, i m not going to push him on this, it would be difficult for president to president to start saying, you know, i think you re lying. i think if he said something like that, we would have an enormous diplomatic brouhaha that would be fairly catastrophic. leland: fair point, especially considering they didn t have a meeting. that s one thing that everybody was bringing up, whether or not they would have a formal meeting and would have said on the side that they were pulled away.
