From President Trump. Hey, kristin. Neil, this is not a live address. These remarks were taped yesterday at the white house. This is a big deal. This could be the very last time that we hear President Trump speak from inside the white house. According to some excerpts that were released by the white house, it appears from the excerpts that President Trump does not mention joe biden by name but mentions the new administration. He has kind words for them. According to the experts, hes expected to say this week we inaugurate a new administration and pray for its success in keeping america safe and prosperous. We did what we came here to do and so much more. From there, President Trump is going to go through what he believes are some of his greatest accomplishments. Things like building the biggest and greatest economy in the history of of the United States. Hes expected to talk about how hes proud of standing up to china, securing historic peace deals in the middle east and reducing u. S.
Getting better any time soon. 3. 5 Million People on the island are without power. The conditions have eased a little bit. Winds below 50 miles per hour. The rain is still falling. At least right now First Responders and police can go out to assess the damage and help those that need it. We saw first winds ripping through here, enough to snap the trees behind me, enough to knock walls down, pieces of the hotel behind me off. It was just whipping around. Right now we have seen electrical crews go out as well. Off and on foot. Theres so much debris in the roads. Very hard to get around with downed power lines and downed trees. Theyre trying to assess things by foot. The next concerns will be flooding. Either flooding from rivers or perhaps mudslides in the central part of the country. Recovery here is not easy and not quick. People are still out of power from Hurricane Irma two weeks ago. Could be weeks or months before this island begins to get back on its feet. Neil, back to you. Thank
