>> this is bad. >> it's like the world just stopped. >> cnn films presents 9/11, 15 years later, sunday, september 11th at 8:00 on cnn. this had is "cnn newsroom" live from los angeles. happening now, a hurricane strikes the florida gulf coast. we'll take you live near the eye of the storm. plus, a former super bowl quarterback isn't backing down to critics, refuse to go stand for the national anthem for a second straight game. ask why this explosion is a major setback in efforts to bring the internet to the developing world. hello and thank you for joining us. i'm isha sesay. news room l.a. starts right now.

hurricane hermine is battling florida's gulf coast. millions of people in florida, georgia, and south carolina are in hermine's path. florida's governor calls it a, quote, life threatening storm with dangerous flooding expected. our meteorologists are tracking the storm for us. let's go first live to jennifer. has hermine made landfall? >> hermine has made landfall. wilma was the last hurricane and this makes the next one. we have ended a -- more than decade long drought of hurricanes here in florida. of course, this was a pretty powerful one. this is a category 1 hurricane.

we had winds of 80 miles per hour. storm surge two to three meters with those winds 80 miles per hour. or 125 kilometers per hour. of course, we have seen downed trees, power outages across the florida panhandle as well as georgia. more than 100,000 people without power due to the storm. 65,000 people in tallahassee, the state capital, alone. so there will be quite a bit of cleanup because of this. those storm surges running two to three meters across portions of what we call the big bend of florida, which is basically where i am and points to the east and southeast. water judge funnels up into those bays, those inner coastal waterways. and so you will see very, very high storm surge. so that's why flooding was a huge concern across florida and still will be as we go through the overnight hours. they evacuated a lot of people along the coast to try to seek higher ground. because with water running two to three meters above high tide, that's going to cause significant flooding. also, a real tornado danger as

we go throughout the overnight hours. we have seen several tornado warnings across florida. that will continue into georgia as we go through the overnight hours. and then this storm is going to ride the east coast and we are in a holiday weekend. so a lot of people do want to hit the beaches, but it is going to be a rainey weekend. there will be a lot of rough surf across the east coast. but this storm is far from over. it has made rainfall in florida, but it's going to continue its journey up to the north and east. it is going to pick up some forward speed once it does that, but it could have impacts as far reaching as new england. and so this storm will be talked about for several more days, isha. >> yeah. it sure will. jennifer, thank you. do stay safe out there. we'll check in with you a little bit later. let's go now to meteorologist derrick van dam in the weather center. what are you seeing right now in terms of the intensity of the storm? >> well, it is a category one atlantic hurricane, isha.

and 25 million americans are in its path. there are five counties under mandatory evacuations. that red box is tornado warnings. i want to zoom into the center of circulation. there it is, the eye wall of hurricane hermine just now starting to cross the threshold of land and meteorologists, what we do is we break this down into quadrants. the northeast quadrant in the northern hemisphere is typically the strongest part of the storm. that's because we have that counterclockwise circulation. so you can just imagine the winds and the amount of water that's getting pushed up into this particular region. in fact, cedar key just to the south ask east of the landfalling hurricane has had record setting storm surge already occurring across this

particular region. we have the potential for two to three meters of above normal surge for this particular area. look at the hurricane warnings shaded in red. that's that big bend of florida that we talk about. but as we go forward, this storm has the potential to bring chaos to the east coast of the united states and you also heard mention from jennifer a moment ago that it is a holiday weekend here in the u.s., being labor day on monday. so a lot of people trying to soak up the last bits of summer. unfortunately, this storm is going to impact people's plans as they head to the beaches of wilmington, cap hatteras and potentially the new england coast. storm surge, heavy rain, flooding, tornados, that's the immediate future for florida. quick mention of typhoon nantun into japan. that's moving in a northerly direction. early sunday morning long time,

that could impact the lands with winds over 120 kilometers per hour. >> derek, thank you. appreciate it. let's talk football now. american pro football player colin kaepernick continues his protest of not standing during the u.s. national anthem. the san francisco 49er knelt on thursday at a preseason game against the san diego chargers. kaepernick was booed as he took the field on the same night the chargers held an annual salute to the military event. the biracial quarterback says he's protesting racism. for more on the game and the reaction to kaepernick's protest, we're joined now from san diego's qualcomm stadium. paul, collin kaepernick kept hi protest going but this time n l kneeling. what was the reaction inside the stayed jump? >> the first reaction to kaepernick was boos, the minute he stepped on to the field even for the pregame warm-up and they followed him throughout the

game. i'm now down in the locker room area and awaiting reaction from kaepernick. but it was a strong course of boos. there was had also a smattering of applause, we should note, not only from 49er fans, but some san diego charger fans, including those with military ties. either they were in the military or they had been veterans. some said they supported kaepernick's right to not stand during the anthem and they felt like that was a spot. but many others were pretty harsh and we heard a few expletives, as well. let me show you what you did or describe it for you. he was standing, and once the anthem struck up, he dropped down to a knee, and so did eric reed, a player who was not dressed for the game. both of them joining in unionson. and right after he got done with the anthem, there were had a lot of hugs and sort of high fives and whatnot. players on the 49ers supporting kaepernick and the 49ers, by the way, won this exhibition game, 31-21, isha. >> and, paul, just -- this

teammate that knelt by his side, was this just a show of support for kaepernick or was he sharing in the protest himself, do we know? >> it seemed to be a show of support. in recent activity, eric reed had come on out and said for anybody who might be trolling, he said, listen, he's got a point here. and you may or may not know that colin kaepernick has, he says, two uncles in law enforcement, friends in law enforcement. and one of the points he made on instagram today, he's very concerned with people who would jeopardize his loved ones or friends. he's talking about police officers through what he the termed to be reckless activity or dangerous activity. so it was a move in had support of quarterback colin kaepernick. >> all right. we're seeing a show of support from a teammate. but what about the coaching staff? what's the general feeling amongst, you know, the team owners, you know, about all the attention this is drawing to the

49ers and, really, they're off the field exploits, if you will? >> well, it has been rather short. the new coach, chip kelly, basically said he has a right to express his views and we support that and we're not going to get involved. now that's to this point. we'll have to see whether there's some sort of change in attitude. but so far, no issues and kaepernick played very well tonight. in fact, even though he was being booed every time they snapped the ball to him, there was a lengthy drive downfield. as i said, you could hear the boos and every time it seemed like they would gain another six or seven yards and ended up in a touchdown. >> before i let you go, paul, could you tell whether or not.kaepernick was bothered by the reaction to the being? >> absolutely not. in fact, he almost seemed unflappable. there was even some anticipation that perhaps maybe kaepernick might take a hard hit, he was scrambling around. but that never really materialized. he didn't seem at all phased by

us, the reaction of the fans. and as we said, there were some fans that were, you know, cheering him, as well. >> yeah. paul vercamen joining us from san diego. thank you so much. the seattle seahawks player jeremy lane sat during the national anthem against the oakland raiders. it's not yet clear if this was a deliberate act of protest. we shall work to find out for you. kaepernick says his protest isn't directed at people in the military. but that received a mixed reaction from troops and veterans. for more on attitudes towards kaepernick, i'm joined by social and political commentator jasmine cannic and scottm mann n tampa, florida. captain mann, colin kaepernick has said his protest isn't against the military, it's not intended to insult the armed

fors. yet some see it as such. why? >> well, i think a lot of it is so many of our men and women in uniform have given so much and sack phased so much, that i think it kind of flies in the face, in their perception, of what they fought for. but just to be clear, almost all of the veterans that i know understand that collin and others have absolutely the right to protest if in whatever way they feel fit. but so do those veterans have the vite not to like it. >> that's absolutely true. you know, very much a point of this country that everyone has a right to their opinion and to express it. and to that end, you know, i'm going to stay with you, colonel, because i want to follow up on your thought. people are are saying, you know, the men and women of the armed services or the armed forces fought for the freedom that colin kaepernick is exercising are right now, his freedom to express his displeasure, to express his point of view.

so people are saying there's a kind of dissonance here. >> yeah, i think there may -- you know, that's a valid point. i guess the way i come at it is that, you know, i just believe it's -- i don't think it's effective leadership on his part. i think any -- anyone who looks to advance one position over another is just -- it's just in e ineffect ive leadership. i would rather see us have this discussion as americans with the admission we're americans first. and i don't think that we have to go about it this way. i've done posts on facebook that just cite some of the examples in the military how, you know, we're all green in the army. we don't look at ethnicity that way. i don't see that going on right now. even my facebook posts, there's so much venom and i think kaepernick is playing right into

it. i think he's advancing one side's agenda over another and frankly, it's not going to get us anywhere. i'd rather see some responsible leadership on his part and frankly the envelope and some others, as well. >> jasmine, you heard what jurnl colonel said, that colin kaepernick is advancing their agenda. your reaction to that? >> i completely disagree with that. i'm actually proud of him. i'm happy that he's doing what he's doing. he is advancing the conversation and he's doing it in a way that's got everyone talking. so the people who in the military are against what he's doing, they always have to remember that they fought for his right to stand up or sit down, okay? he has the right to do this protest. he has everyone talking from coast to coast. this is an uncomfortable issue for a lot of people. they liked it when it was a conversation relegated just to the black community. or just to communities of color. but this is a conversation that needs to be had nationally.

everyone in this country doesn't look at themselves as americans first. i know that may be a shock to many people. but that is the case. we have a very sad history when it comes to people of color in america. that has not been forgotten. and there are a lot of issues right now in 2016 that are -- that need to be addressed. and it's going to take people like kaepernick to do what he's doing. i mean, he's not the only one. you have musicians, you look at what happened with beyonce and how they tried to say that her performance at the super bowl was too pro black, anti-police. that didn't get them anywhere. >> but jasmyne, you made the point at the beginning of your statement there that everyone is talking about it. but is everyone really talking about colin kaepernick's motivation or has that been over-shadowed by the method of

his protest which some people would say means in some ways he's failed? >> i think it depends who you ask that question to. i know from a lot of the news articles i've been reading and media coverage, that i've caught -- especially among african-americans, they're talking about the issue. they're talking about him raising this issue and continue to go keep it in the spotlight. you have a lot of haters who refuse to acknowledge the issue and they just want to focus on the fact that he's wearing a certain pair of socks or that he is, you know, sitting down. and they don't want to address the issue at all. they would like to go on as if it doesn't exist. so it really depends on what circumstance you're having that conversation in. >> colonel mann, to you, you say that there would have been a better way for him to have done this. what would have been the better way for colin kaepernick to protest, in your view? >> well, one might be to wear practice socks that don't have pigs with police officer hats on

them. the whole conversation like, you know, it's not a certain pair of socks. it was a pair of socks with pigs with police hats on them. and it's just a very foreign concept for me. in special forces, where i spent most of my adult life, african-americans, hispanics, whites, we fought together, we stood shoulder to shoulder, we gave our lives for each other and that's how we're trained and that's how we feel. so when i hear someone say a lot of people don't view themselves as americans first, i guess it makes me sad because i've lost a lot of friends, hispanic, african-american and many others who laid it down believing that we were americans first. so i guess i'll have trouble respond to go that. >> jasmyne, do you care to respond? >> that's what happens when i guess you don't have a lot of people in your circle who -- your circle is not very diversified. let me put it that way. because there are a lot of people, and not just black people, but people of color, period, who don't necessarily feel the connection to this country that other people feel.

and a lot of that, i think, has to do with our history, the fact that we still deny that history. we assist don't want to make amends of that history and we're still dealing with the effects of that history in 2016. so i'm sorry that that's hard for you to comprehend, but it is a fact. >> all right. i'm afraid we're going to have to leave it there. we appreciate the honest points of view exchanged here. colonel mann, jasmyne cannic, thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me on. still ahead on news room l.a., the fallout from donald trump's immigration praise. why some praises and others are jumping ship. >> i've resigned. i know other people have resigned. it's not a good feeling because the alternative is not much better, but i'm unwilling to be part of his propaganda machine. what if a company that didn't make cars made plastics that make them lighter? the lubricants that improved fuel economy.

customers are now without power the it's expected to bring a nine foot or three meter storm surge. florida's governor calls it life threatening the. title fo politics. another day, 24 hours after a hard line immigration speech, the candidate says he's soften bing his position. meanwhile, some latino supporters are ditching trump saying they feel misled. >> donald trump proved once again today his stance on immigration is a moving target. >> we're going to build the wall. mexico is going to pay for the wall. >> at two different events in ohio, the gop nominee was both talking tough on immigration while toning down his rhetoric on mexico. one day after his historic visit with mexican president peno nieto, a decision to show he can

be diplomatic. >> i just came back from a wonderful meeting with the president of mexico where i expressed my deep respect for the people of this country. >> adding to the confusion, a talk radio appearance where trump insisted he is soft.ing, suggesting he will proor advertise the deportation of undocumented criminals, over the removal of law-abiding, unauthorized immigrants. >> we've got a lot of people in this country that you can't have. those people will get out and then we're going to make a decision at a later date once everything is stabilized. i think you're going to see there's really quite a bit of softening. >> problem is -- >> there will be no amnesty. you cannot obtain legal status or become a citizen of the united states by illegally entering our country. >> most of his supporters and critics heard trump hard.ing in his immigration speech in phoenix, warning any undocumented person in the u.s. is subject to deportation. the address sent some of his own

latino surrogates straight for the exits. >> i've resigned. i know other people have resigned. it's not a good feeling because the alternative is not much better. but i'm unwilling to be part of his propaganda machine. >> the clinton campaign suggests trump hasn't softed a bit except when it comes to payment of the wall. the mexican president insists he made his stance clear. >> i am emphatic to affirm that mexico wouldn't pay by any means for the wall. >> tim kaine accused trump of cracking on the wall. that was a choke and i think it shows diplomacy is not for amateurs. donald trump is an amateur. >> the question is whether or not donald trump's shut back and forth on immigration could change his support in swing states like there are.

trump clearly energized his base which will help in the modern part of the state. the next chance to pen him down on this will come later this month when donald trump and hillary clinton start squaring off in debates. >> ron brownsteine is here with us. ron, what will this do for the electoral map, this immigration speech? >> first of all, the contradiction jim talked about was right there in the seech. there is no path to citizenship. anyone who is here in an undocumented state would have to leave the country, get to the back of the line to come back and later, towards the end of the speech, he said after we stabilize things, we'll decide what to do with the people who are not criminals who we're not deporting immediately. but the implication seemed to be that there would be no citizenship, there would be no legal status. nothing along the lines of what he had himself suggested even in the days leading to the speech,

for example, in austin with hanity. this is an example that donald trump and his campaign are operating on different strategists. he's determined to dance with the one who brung him, as they say in texas. he doubled down on his core support among blue collar nonurban religiously devout whites, the voters who are most uneasy about dem graph sxik cultural change. it was a speech aimed at those voters. clearly, he is hoping to turn them out in larger numbers than polls now suggest because there was very little if the anything that would warm the portions of the electorate that have been most cold to him, which are essentially millennials, minorities, socially liberated college educated whites. >> let's look at this new cnn poll or polls, which has hillary clinton five points ahead of donald trump, 42-37.

this is a four-way matchup, including the third-party candidates, gary johnson and jill stein. if you're in the clinton campaign, are you breathing a sigh of relief or are you concerned that despite all that donald trump has done it's only a five-point lead? >> really, it's both. hillary clinton is facing as much resistance as any major party nominee, doubts about her honesty and integrity, doubts about her clinton foundation, almost 60% of americans say they have an unfavorable view of her. she's running against the one candidate, really, who has even deeper problems than she does. 60% of the country consistently saying he's not qualified to be president. those numbers are worrisome to democrats that she's only at 42. but in had many ways, the equally if not revealing number is that the donald trump himself is only at 37% in a four-way race. and i believe there is only one credible national poll since august 1st that has had them even at 40% in a four-way race

and it's an indication of the kind of resistance he's fatesing in the electorate. he did not pivot in this speech, did not reach out to those voters is kind of -- helps mrains explain why he is stuck at around 40% support. >> dance he's dance aing with the ones who brung him. >> that's what he's doing. time for a quick break. his six month sentence for raping an unconscious woman. just ahead, why brock turner is about to go free three months early. stay with us. . what makes wendy's baconator different? while the other guys use frozen beef from far away. wendy's only serves fresh beef from ranches close by. so we don't have to freeze it. add six strips of thick, applewood smoked bacon. and wendy's baconator isn't just different, it's deliciously different.

to remind you of the breaking news, the first hurricane expected to make landfall in florida in ten years is dumping heavy rain on the sunshine state. hermine is coming ashore along the gulf coast right thou. flooding, a major concern as the storm moves north across georgia and the carolinas. derek van dam and jennifer gray are tracking this sform for us. jennifer, what are conditions like where you are right now? how bad are things? >> well, actually, things are improving where we are because we are actually west of where that center of that storm is. this was a very lopsided storm. we had very, very gusty winds, very, very heavy rainfall for the majority of the evening. but now that that storm is starting to pull away to the north .east, those rain bands are start to go pull farther and

farther away from us. so we are getting closer to being in the clear. the storm will pick up speed very, very quickly and it will move off to the north and east. most of the energy was on that east side of the storm and that's where we saw the heaviest rainfall and we saw a lot of storm surge, as well. and that's going to continue throughout the overnight hours. in fact, record storm surge for some areas. this storm coming ashore with winds 80 miles per hour. that's 125 roughly kilometers per hour. and storm surge running anywhere from 5 to 7 feet or two to three meters above high tide. and so a lot of flooding. that was a major concern across what we called the big bend of florida, basically where i'm standing and around that current to tampa. a lot of intercoastal waterways and when you have all this

energy and all this winds tr these storms pushing um into those bays and canals, that's when you can get some significant flooding and that's what we saw during the evening ours. as this storm comes ashore, we also have a threat of tornados, we have a threat had of very strong wind damage. we've seen utility screws out there. that's the story as this storm moves to the north and east, a lot of trees in the florida panhandle, pine trees are very soft and they snap easily. this is a holiday weekend. a lot of people are hoping to head to the beaches. it's going to be rainey, windy, the surf is going to be rough. and this could have far reaching impacts, anywhere from georgia all the way up through new england as we go through the end of the weekends, isha. >> it is a rough time for floridans.

jennifer gray, appreciate the reporting. stay safe. let's go to meteorologist derrick van damage. we just heard jennifer describing this storm as lopsided. it's made landfall. tell us how it's moving and the track it's charting. >> jennifer mentioned that continues were improving where she is. and i'll show you why. remember, these in apalaciacola, florida. that is to the west of the eye. here is the big bend that within continue to talk about. apalacia goal la is just in this particular area, making landfall near the jefferson and terry county region. she talked about how the northeastern quadrant of a hurnlg shows the greatest danger

for strong storm surge and the greatest winds. you can see the eye wall making landfall across this region. but really it's these areas that are getting hardest hit as we speak. this is a nature refuge, so not as tensely pop laced across this region. but what i am noticing is some of the stronger bands are moving through the tallahassee region. that concerns me because this area has a population of roughly 200,000 people. that will away concern going forward for those locations, not to mention the potential of torontos overnight. we have six to nine feet above tightal surge. they are currently at record levels as we speak. i just saw them, a live camera feed, the camera got washed away because one of the decks on the

beach ran right into the camera. at this moment and time, that is the major concern for the florida panhandle. back to you, isha. >> derek, appreciate it. >> let's go now to ben guthrie, the emergency coordinator. he jones us now on the line. thank you so much for taking time out to speak to you at this challenge i challenging time for your state. let me start by asking where you are right now and what you've been seeing and hearing since hermine made landfall. . >> where we are right now is moving into the clear. gulf county was very fortunate that the storm moved more to the east. the winds and the rain beat down on us for a little while and they have moved on now to the north and the east. so gulf county is faring very well. >> that is very, very good news. there were huge concerns about storm surge and flooding as a result of hermine.

what can you tell us about that? >> we did have some very big concerns about the storm surge. we ended up having three to four feet of storm surge. the water will begin to back out as the storm moves ahead and we were looking forward to morning when we can get out and check for any damage. >> which of the areas of greatest concern to you right now? >> our biggest area of concern is probably sandblast barrier island for us and the indian pass area. >> well, again, thank you for joining us at this different time. you are in our thoughts and brars, you and the state of florida as you endure the aftermath of hermine.

breaking news, hurricane hermine has knocked out power to at least 32,000 customers in florida's capital. tallahassee is just one of the cities battered by the storm's heavy rain. widespread flood sg expected as hermine threatens millions of people across florida, georgia, ask south carolina over the next 24 hours. we'll continue to follow hermine for you. but another storm we want to bring your attention to. a former u.s. college student who served half of a six-month sentence for rape is set to be released from jail over the next few hours. a jury convicted him in march of sexually assaulting a

unconscious woman mind a dumpster. dan, let me ask you, given the somewhat controversial nature of this release, at least in the eyes of some, are any special arrangements being made to get brock turner out of that san jose jail? >> no real special arrangements, isha. we're told that sometime this morning he will walk out of this jail in san jose, will get into a car and probably fly back to his home state of ohio. this is a 21-year-old who could have gotten about ten years in state prison. instead, isha, he will have only spent three months in county prison. and that's why critics have said this is basically just a slap on the wrist and that's why they are vowing to oust the judge who handed down this sentence. this case began back in january of 2015 when turner was accused of sexually assaulting that

young woman behind a dumpster, outside of a fraternity party. turner tried to claim this was all consensual, but the jury just did not buy it. when he goes home to ohio, isha, he will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life. as for the judge, there's going to be a major rally here in san jose this morning. people are obviously angry over this sendance. they say it was too lenient and they're going to do what they can to try and recall him. let's bring in reba martin. she joins me now to discuss this further. first of all, your reaction to this. you said said earlier, you're not sprieft. >> no, not surprise that he's being released after three months of that six-month county jail time that he had to serve after being convicted.

i'm outraged like so many people and we'll see hopefully hundreds of them outside of this jail as he's released. >> people want to know why he's getting out in three months? >> the reality is, if you were in the state of california in a county jail and you are on your best behavior, many, many, many people get shortened jail time and they walk away from their jail time after only serving half or sometimes even less than that. so the fact that he's getting out early isn't all that vicing given the condition of the county jails in the state of california. that is not what is surprising. i think what's causing the outrage in this case was the six-month sentence that he was given, even though there were eyewitnesss to his sexual assault of this unconscious young woman. >> it just deepens the sense of outrage that he moves on, barely punished, that's the feeling of many, .she's left dealing with this.

but what does the future look like for him? we know he's not going to back to stanford. >> we have been told that he's going to get on a plane and go back to ohio, which is his home state. he will have to register as a sex offender. and depending on what level that is, his picture, his home address, his job, everything can become part of a public record. individuals that live in his vicinity or his neighborhood will be notified when he moves into their neighborhood. so life for him will never be the same. every time he tries to get a job, every time he moves about his community, he now is associated with this very, very famous, in had some ways infamous rape case. so his live will be forever changed. >> but you made the point the severity of the impact going forward depends on what level he's put in, what category. how is that determined? >> that's going to be determined by the state of ohio. his probation is being turned over to the state of ohio. he will be on probation while in ohio.

he'll have to attend anger management and some other classes as a part of his probation. so for all practical purposes, he is now a ward, if you will, of the state of ohio. they will be monitoring him and his probationary period. >> and the judge, the judge in all of this. >> yeah. nothing has changed. this judge has made a request to move trt criminal court to the civil court so he is no longer overseeing criminal cases. so he won't be meteing out cases for those charged with rape or any sexual assault. but for some, they say that's not enough. and we should talk about something significant that happened after this case. in the state of california, raping an unconscious woman was not considered as serious as raping someone who was conscious. so the jail time, the prison time associated with an unconscious rape was less. but since then, a bill has been passed to close that loophole and to put on the same level an

unconscious rape as a conscious rape. so that is a significant outcome from this case. so i think we should highlight that the outrage has resulted in policy change. >> i'm pleased you could share that with us. thank you. >> thank you. a quick break. fire, explosion and a violent fire destroys a spacex rocket. up next, why facebook is disappointed. a true traveler's journey doesn't end at the horizon. so it most certainly doesn't end... at gate c-47. with travelocity, get help through social media 24/7. travelocity® wander wisely™ the ford freedom sales event is on! our biggest event of the year just got better! ♪ announcing zero for seventy-two across the entire lineup of ford cars, trucks and suvs. plus, tagged vehicles now get a thousand smart bonus. that's freedom from interest... and freedom to choose with ford. america's best selling brand.
