the list of deaths. we could see more when everything is said and done. there is still a big concern for people stranded in their cars, when there was whiteout conditions. people would get lost in the storm. people were making contact with people stranded in cars. the mayor saying 200 individuals, they could still be out there, that they are trying to make sure they get safe. there s also some frustration in the voice of officials here, as they say that people do not are not really getting it right now. and braving the streets. that should be off in the distance here. we don t know where they could be going. only essential travel is allowed right now. they are clearing the streets to be drivable, just like the one you see here in downtown buffalo, and allow first responders to basically make it out to calls if necessary. but as far as the storm, this has been just it has not sto stopped. erie county officials say the storm is going to hover over buffalo, and perhaps we ll
So theyre scrambling. Theyre trying to figure this out as well, chuck. No indication as to whether the president has been briefed on this. Hes about to hold an event with sheriffs. In fact im told he just entered and so well try to get more questions to him about all of this. But this is unprecedented, as you say, the fact we have someone inside sounding the alarm like that. Thats what it is, someone sounding the alarm. The call is coming from inside the house. By the way, i should make a point, no Press Briefing today, no Press Briefing yesterday. How many are we up to how many Press Briefings have we had in the last six weeks . We havent had one in two weeks and we had less this summer. I think then its typical, for the record. So its becoming sort of the diminishing Press Briefing. Now, they would argue, hey, look, you had four different chances to ask the president questions today. That is true, and well take it. But of course shouted questions, yeah. Exactly, exactly. Shouted ques
is this an optics failure by the white house? why not schedule a trip there? i don t think it s an optics failure. if anyone who has worked with the white house knows that going somewhere with the president takes attention away from the place and puts all of the resources at the trip that the president needs to take. and right now, the border needs all of the resources and attention that it can give, in terms of what is going on there. what this president is doing and what this white house and the administration are doing, are trying to put in place a process, that will enable a nonchaotic way for these migrants to be given the papers they need to be given the asylum processes given by the law. this has never been an issue that the white house would be able to fix alone. no president can do this alone. the only way that the border will be mixed is if congress
today in order to deal with this. it does not send that message of nonchaotic competence. and you can see in the poll numbers. let s talk liz cheney because cnn s mike warren said she is exploring future political options outside wyoming. she is attending a fund-raiser in texas with karl rove and george bush. and then she will speak at another event in new hampshire. is there a corridor for her? is there a motive other than winning for her there? i was having this thought the other night watching her on 60 minutes . she s positioning herself to run for president. she just has to get through this period, can she survive this trump period, whatever that is, and come out on the other side as a champion for conservative republicanism and at the same time with a kind of centrist
about can a president be indicted, can a president be called trying to push him on roe v. wade, chevron doctrine. i think the voters in middle america like judge kavanaugh. i think they like what they see and that will play out. it s a very high-end nonchaotic i don t know. i don t think anybody knows who this guy is. his numbers are so low, positive and negative. i m talking about people who watch today. i know, i hear you. the chevron doctrine crowd. kristen welker is still with us. kristen, i ve got to check in. i mean i just feel like every 10 minutes something could change out of that press office. is it you know, how s reaction now? well, chuck, look, i think that they continue to sort of absorb the remarkable events that we ve all been witnessing and reacting to in realtime. there s not been any fresh reaction since that statement went out from press secretary sarah sanders, which again very
