florida, the caribbean trying to rebuild amid growing frustrations of food and water shortages. this nursing home where authorities are investigating the deaths of eight elderly residents. >> we're all dumbfounded how this could have happened. >> what happened here is inexcusable. daca is a symptom of a bigger problem. we do not have control of our borders. democratic leaders and president trump potentially reaching a deal to fix daca that does not approve funding a border wall. >> the idea that the republican party ideas are not represented in that room are just ridiculous. identical to you in the united states and around the world. this is new day. it is thursday, september 14th. 6:00 in a hot and humid naples, florida. it's dark. it's dirty. but an order of magnitude better

than it is in the keys. the big headline is in just hours, president trump will come here to survey the catastrophic damage left by hurricane irma. the current count, more than 3 million customers still without power largely in this state. the death toll continues to rise. we expected that. the number is now at 77 lives taken by the storm in the united states and the caribbean. the big focus of concern for loss of life in the u.s. is the death of eight senior citizens found in sweltering conditions at a nursing home in hollywood, florida after their facility lost power. alyson, there are different factors going on with that case. we will take you through them this morning. >> so tragic, chris. we also have breaking news it of washington. nanciy pelosi and chuck schumer said they have a plan to protect d.r.e.a.m.ers. if the democratic leaders are to be believed, this deal say bombshell. conservatives are already

blasting it. joe johns is live at the white house. joe, what happened at this dinner? >> reporter: good morning, alyson. this is sort of an agreement to agree, but it definitely sends a pretty clear signal on where the president is headed on this issue. it comes over the strong objections of some of the president's most conservative supporters. the president once again joining forces with democratic leaders in the congress. democratic leaders are hailing another agreement with president trump to protect hundreds of thousands of d.r.e.a.m.ers from being deported in exchanged for beefed up border security. key agreements are unknown. but we do know it does not include the president's controversial border wall. in a statement, house and senate democratic leaders chuck schumer and nancy pelosi said we a agree to enshrine it into law quickly

and to work out a package of border security, excluding the wall, that's acceptable to both sides. but kerry sanders said, exclusa sanders said while daca and border security are certainly not the same. the president will keep pushing for a wall but it doesn't have to be part of this agreement. they were joined by eight others to discuss tax reform, daca and health care. notably absent, the top republicans in congress. the senate majority leader and the speaker of the house. >> look, you have the leader of the republican party sitting at the table. >> reporter: this potential deal on d.r.e.a.m.ers comes after the president infuriated his own party last week when he brokered a three-month deal to broker a

deal and speed up relief for the hurricane victimsment but the president insists there's no reason to be skeptical. >> we're trying to wok things out together. it's good for the republicans and good for the democrats. >> reporter: the new approach a far cry from his usually harsh rhetoric. >> i think the losers are nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. >> reporter: as all of this is happening, the president will be arriving in southwest florida this morning to visit two areas hardest hit by the storm, ft. myers as well as naples to be accompanied by the first lady and the vice president. alyson. >> okay, joe, thank you very much. let's discuss all of this with chief correspondent dana bash. wow, what a dinner. if this is true, if the president struck a deal with the top democrats to protect d.r.e.a.m.ers and it didn't involve a border wall, this is a

cataclysm. here's steve king, congressman steve king who you know is the biggest champion of the border wall. donald trump, if ap is correct, trump base is blown up, destroyed, irreparable and disillusioned beyond repair. no promise is credible. laura ingram, conservative, the art of the steal. let's hope they misrepresented the deal. shawn hannity. poet us needs to stay the course or it's over. pelosi and schumer can never be be trusted. you have new reporting. what happened last night? >> well, this is precisely why. if the president wants to get anything done to deal with the dreamers legislatively, he has to bring in democrats. it has to be bipartisan. when he first announced he was kicking it over to congress.

i said this is going to be a first real test of whether president trump can deal in a bipartisan way. the reason is unlike many other issues which are even a struggle among republicans, there was no way he was going to get the steve kings of the world and many in the conservative base to go along with anything they consider amnesty. they consider even the children who were brought here by their parents very young, they didn't have any choice, as undocumented immigrants who have no right to stay here and they should leave. the president said publicly he doesn't agree with that. in order to get a deal to allow them to stay here, he needs to work with democrats and they have to understand that they are going to the lose some on the right but they will make up for it with democrat you can votes. >> where does this leave the republican party? does this cause a civil war in the republican water? >> yes. this issue of up graze has split the republican party for a decade. john mccain ran for president in

2007 and 2008 election. high, high, high in the polls. supported a path to citizenship. fellow and only came back because he promised republicans he would focus on board or security first. you can say the same with marco rubio. the answer is yes, it has historically split the republican party. and this whole issue of the dreamers was on president trump's lap. he has to deal with it. but he has been warned. i am told by sources who have talked to him that that is going to cost you many in that base that you never thought you could lose. >> so why is he doing this? why is he reaching out to chuck schumer or at least working with them. why weren't paul ryan and mitch mcconnell there at the white house? >> because the president can take the hit more than the republican leaders. think about it, republican leaders have tried to push this through. when i say this, i'm talking about any kind of immigration

reform that has to do with any legal status for undocumented immigrants, again, for a decade. and it hasn't worked. republicans in congress feel that he has the credibility with the base. and he's the only one who can-can make the deal and turn to congress and say, i did this. go ahead, mr. republican leader in the house and the he senate. but there is no question it is is going to cost the president. you interviewed him. i interviewed him since he started running for president. i believe in husband heart of hearts he doesn't want to kick these people out of the country. that was the one thing he was extremely consistent on throughout the entire two years he's been in politics. >> as you know, steve bannon was on "60 minutes" talking how he will always have the president's back. things have changed. a new breitbart headline calling the president amnesty don.

report, dems declare victory as trump caves on dava. white house pushes ba back...softly. >> steve bannon is with steve king he thinks this is a mistake, this is amnesty, this is bad for the president which is why, you know, breitbart is trying to send that signal in a very not so subtle way. but on other issues, if the president -- continues to try to push on trade issues, on other issues in a more populist side of the equation of the agenda, maybe not. but this is awe bigg biggie. >> the border wall was nonnegotiable. the president brought it up time and again. it rallied the base every single time. so if he did some sort of immigration deal. you know, or started the beginnings of talking about it

with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi and the border wall isn't in this one, did he blink in this one? >> the real answer is yes in that the initial white house position was, with the encouragement of conservatives. they were leading the charge in the house. remember, they said they weren't going to fund the government without the border wall. that ended when the government struck the first deal with leaders. much like the notion of letting these d.r.e.a.m.ers stay in this country he'lly, the majority -- maybe not the majority. many fellow republicans in congress, they don't want to deal with this border wall. they think it's silly. they want border security. even though you have ultra conservatives who are furious at the notion he would do a deal on d.r.e.a.m.ers without the border wall, you have others who are like, phew.

>> we'll have more information at 9:00 a.m. stkphfp >> check the twitter feed. >> a lot of news also in florida. that's where we find chris in the aftermath of irma. chris, with what's happening? >> reporter: well, alyson, we were always expecting the death toll to go up but not in this way. eight residents of a nursing home are dead in the wake of hurricane irma. but the question is was it about the hurricane? there's a big investigation under way. we will talk to a woman whose mother was in that facility until last week. stay with us. ♪ can i get some help. watch his head. ♪ i'm so happy. ♪ whatever they went through, they went through together.

of eight senior citizens at this florida nursing home where the air-conditioning system lost power. the call for help coming in the middle of the night. one elderly respect having a heart attack. first responders arrived to find three more dead. four more died later in hospitals. >> once we determined we had multiple deaths at the facilities and the facilities are extremely hot, we evacuated all the patients. >> reporter: fewer and rescue teams mobilized units. this blue tent directed to triage the 158 evacuees, some critically need in care before being transported to local hospitals. >> reporter: as we arrived with our fire rescue crews we saw there were a number of people in respiratory distress and other distress. >> reporter: residents entering humidity and other temperatures for about three days. >> most of the patients have been treated for respiratory distress, dehydration, and heat-related issues. >> reporter: the administrative for the nursing home saying in a

statement that the facility did not lose power during the hurricane but lost a transformer that powers the air-conditioning and that the facility immediately contacted florida power & light and emergency officials. the facility maintaining they set up mobile cooling units and fans to cool the facility and continually checked on their residents's well-being to ensure they were hydrated. they were advised to call 911 if they suspected anyone's health was at risk. >> people are just absolutely shocked that someone in a staff would not know enough that a frail elderly person is dying of heat exhaustion and would at least know to dial 911. this is what is inexcusable. >> reporter: florida's governor placing an immediate moratorium on new admissions. if they find they were not meeting the statute's high

standards of care, they will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law. >> it is a sad event. as a precautionary measure, we have assigned police officers to go chemical the other 42 assisted living facilities and nursing homes throughout the city to make sure that they're in sufficient care of the elderly. >> reporter: this facility has had a list of safety violations, including two that involved generators in 2014 and 2016. the state says that those violations were corrected. chris? >> reporter: elizabeth, to be clear, there is a moratorium on new residents being included there, not taking everyone out. so there are still people in the care of that facility. elizabeth, thank you very much. we will stay with you on this story. let's bring in somebody who can give us perspective on this place. michelle callahan's mother was awe respect at that nursing home until about a week ago. michelle joins us now. michelle, thank you for being on

the show. >> hello. >> most importantly, about you and your family, maggie, your mom, she is not there and she's okay, right? >> correct. yes. thank god. >> thank god, indeed. all right. so let's talk about the place. what was your experience with that facility? you pulled your mother out because of the storm or other concerns? >> we pulled my mother out for other medical concerns last week. we had a rescue come in from the hospital next door. and yesterday morning when i woke up, i turned on the television and i see this nursing home and i went, oh, my gosh, that's where my mother was. thank god we got her out of there. and the terrible tragedy of the deaths is unbelievable to me right now. >> what did you make of the facility in terms of how they treated your mother? what did she say about the place? >> i basically felt they were very understaffed.

too many patients, not enough nursing sapbassistants. i felt the communication with the staff was not very good. my mother would sometimes do the call button. when i was there they didn't come in a time lu manner. i was kind of concerned about that. if i wasn't there or my sister, who is a nurse, or my dad, if we weren't there, it seemed like things didn't get done or she wasn't attended to. so i wasn't happy about that part either. >> family often has to be advocates for the elderly. what were you told when you were asking questions about your mother's specific needs? >> we had to wait. i'm not trying to say anything about the nursing staff or medical people. it's just they couldn't get there all the time. there were too many patients and

not enough nursing and medical staff to get there. i just wish she didn't have to go to this place. obviously it wasn't up to par for our standards. >> well, look. there is an entire broader discussion about elderly care and what it costs and the ability to have facilities and what families can hold. it's all real. but it is a little bit to the side of the specifics here. the reason waoeupl asking these questions is not to generate insults about this place but insight. these are the points of the investigation. are they properly staffed? are they attentive and responsive to the needs of this particular patient base they have? what was maggie, your mom's, take on how it was in that facility? >> well, she would get upset a lot because she would call for the nurses and nobody would come, especially when we were not there. and i don't think that's

acceptable. did she ever tell you what she saw with the other patients there and how they did in the conditions of that place? >> well, she couldn't get out of the bed. basically, if she was up, she was in a wheelchair because she can't walk at this time. and i would say from my viewpoint, because i was there a lot, i would see patients in the hall ways that needed probably to be attended to. they were in wheelchairs. and i felt bad because the nurses and the cnas could not get there in time, et cetera. and i just didn't know what else to do because i was taking care of my mother. i had a patient i heard calling from a bedroom, help me. and i had to tell the person at the front desk somebody was yelling that. it seemed there wasn't enough people to do what they needed to do. that was my main concern. and if i wasn't there, or my sister or my dad, it seemed

things didn't happen. my mother wasn't attended to. i don't want to go into details. there was not so great stuff. she was in the same clothes and not able to take care of herself for a whole day because my sister was putting up shutters with my dad when the hurricane was coming. if we weren't there, things didn't seem to get attended to for my mom. >> that's why i'm asking you these questions. it's great that your mom had family to love and advocate for her needs. it's often necessary but there is a standard of care. it's great to hear your mother got out of there and she's okay and we appreciate you giving us perspective on what life is like inside the facility. the best of to you and your family. >> i wanted to say i hope more regulations will be done for

these places. and advocates need to educate themselves on what's going on at any nursing home, no matter how expensive. so that was my basic message here. >> and an important one to relay. thank you for bringing it to us on new day. we're going to take a break now. this is a bad or worse situation. if this was because of the storm and their ability to handle it in this facility, that's bad. if this is about the general nature of how they conduct their business there, that is potentially worse. we will have florida senator marco rubio. he said he wanted to be very aggressive on this issue. what does he make of why this happened, what he needs to do here and across the state as well as the senator's take on the response to irma. all right. so we've been taking you through what irma has done. bad here, much, much worse in the keys. and then you have the caribbean. so hard hit by this storm, it is really in shambles. pictures tell the stories. but the needs are growing.

food, water, sewage, power. what's being done? is there progress? we have a live report from st. martin next. how much money do you think you'll need in retirement? then we found out how many years that money would last them. how long do you think we'll keep -- oooooohhh! you stopped! you're gonna leave me back here at year 9? how did this happen? it turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. we have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. let's plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. prudential. bring your challenges. excuse me, are you aware of what's happening right now? we're facing 20 billion security events every day. ddos campaigns, ransomware, malware attacks...

islands that find themselves going from a desperate situation to a nightmarish situation. the first thing you notice when you land here, there is no foliage left on the trees. they have been plucked clean by battering winds. smaller zets have even been tossed aside. it gives you a feeling for the force of the storm. we managed to get our drone out and start to have a look around and get a better sense of the damage which of course is huge, massive. this is going to take a major reconstruction effort. but the real concern reight now is for aid, is for water, is for food and primarily sanitation. people are concerned here because there is no running water, because they haven't been able to set up disposable chemicals toilets of some sort, and i don't know if you can see that drone footage, chris, but the streets are literally strewn

with thousands of bags of garbage. as we were walking around, the stench is overpowering. we could be looking at a typhoid outbreak, cholera outbreak. after a natural disaster, you want to get in, mitigate the sanitation system as soon as possible. so far all these caribbean islands really, really struggling to do that. alyson? >> you point out it's just the beginning. the scene we see behind you of devastation, that is just phase one of all of this. now we have the days ahead to see what happens next. we will be back with you. clarissa, thank you very much for your reporting. it is compounded by florida's heat and humidity today. chad myers has the latest forecast. what are you seeing, chad? >> heat index over 100 all over florida and southwest florida as well. good morning, alyson. temperatures already in the 70s and 80s. the heat in diagnostic much

higher than that. the relative humidity right now is 85%. there's your heat index later today. 101. not even with a breeze. it will feel like 102. across north florida, it's still hot again. not as much cleanup there other than the jacksonville area. our heat index, 97. that's not pleasant trying to clean up with no power and very little breeze to help you out there. it will be really muggy and distasteful across all of florida. we'll call it warm, but that's the idea for the rest of the week. at or above normal temperatures in miami going to be at 90 or above. we have one more issue. the santa fe river goes under i-75, or at least it's supposed to. later today i believe santa fe river will go over i-75. that will cause significant detour delays for the millions trying to get down i-75. take 10 and back down 95.

you're standing inside the capitol waiting to go to the platform with former president clinton. what was going through your mind? >> well, it was such a surreal moment. because usually a candidate wouldn't go. we go to inaugurations. it's part of the way we demonstrate continuity government. i debated whether i could do it or not. >> you called up jimmy carter. >> right. our offices were in communication with both carters and both bushes. they couldn't come because of poor health. bill and i said we've got to do this. we were going. i can't tell you i was looking forward to it. i write in the book about how really strange it was to sit there and to listen to the kind

of speech that was so divisive. i call it a cry from the white nationalist gut. instead of taking awe moment to say, you know what, i want to reach out and be the president for everybody. he didn't win the popular vote. he squeaked through the electoral college. he had an opportunity to fill the role and that didn't happen that day. >> george w. bush, you wrote, said after the inauguration, that was some weird shut. >> yes. i couldn't agree more. it was so strange. >> will you reveal your sources on that? is she sitting across from me right now? >> well, no. i phrased it very delicately. you know, i went to the lunch afterwards. i did everything that you're supposed to do. >> i want to talk to you about jim comey. >> yes. >> when comey said he was reopening the investigation, you

believe that is the day that effectually your campaign was over, that you lost? >> i believe on a lot of evidence and assessments by other good analysts, nate silver being one, that, yes, that was a determine active day. i don't blame vote, for wondering what the heck was going on. >> you said he shived you. that is a strong word. >> it is a strong word. >> and implied that he was trying to get you. >> he's never been clear about his motivation. what bothered me the word after time went on and we learned more about the open fbi investigation into the trump campaign and their connections with russia, that had been going on for quite some time.

he was specifically asked, why didn't you tell the american people about that investigation? and he said, well, because it was too close to an election. so ask yourself, a closed investigation that ended the prior july, an ongoing investigation into the trump campaign and russia, one deserves to be blown out of all proportion, nothing to be found one more time. and the american people don't have the information that there is a legitimate investigation going on about trump and russia before they vote. but what's important to me going forward is, as i say, i think it's important to focus on what happened. because lessons can be learned. but the more important lessons that will affect our democracy going forward are not about him and his investigation. he i think forever changed history. but that's in the past. what's important is the fact that the russians are still going at us. if i had been elected president under the same circumstances so

that, you know, i lost the popular vote, i squeaked through the electoral college and evidence came up that the russians for whatever reason were trying to help me, i would have said in the first day in office, we are going to launch the most thorough investigation, no adversary nation can mess with our democracy. >> in the book you make no -- you say the god forsaken electoral college. do you think it should be abolished? >> i said that in 2000 after what happened to the 2000 election with al gore. i was elected to the senate that same year. we had several nominee who's lost but won the electoral college. >> you mentioned after you realized you had lost you

thought about all the corruption. and president trump said if he had been president you would be in jail. were you worried about it? >> i had no reason to worry about it. you can't predict. that is one of the lessons we have learned so far in this presidency. like so much else i was moved beyond that. i got interested in cleaning my closets and taking long walks in the woods, things that helped me recover from that loss. good morning, david. what are your thoughts into secretary clinton giving that postgame wrappup? >> she is quite conversational, especially in her interview with anderson. it's very interesting. she's reflective. she takes on responsibility. she is still defensive about

certain things. and i think there is a mix of blaming certain factors that were real, that had a real impact on the race like james comey, like him inserting himself inappropriately the way he did into that investigation. with i think some reluctance to really embrace the fact that she didn't completely read the electorate correctly. she was not a change agent at a time when there was a real desire for change. she fell into certain traps with her own reactions, destroying all of those e-mails. that was a decision that a lot of critics call clintonian. >> doesn't she make a compelling case that if you had to choose a deciding factor it was james comey? the numbers, the staff, the poll numbers that she says took a

decided dip after james comey came out and said he was reopening the investigation into her e-mails before he knew if there were any relevant e-mails on anthony weiner's laptop >> reporter: comey inserting himself into an investigation when protocol is if you don't charge, you don't talk. there was a failure of leadership by the attorney general loretta lynch as well. there is no question that was a huge momentum shift and that he had already waded into this thinking he could control it by wanting to explain what his thinking is and saying he would have never charged her, he should not have said that either. i think what hillary clinton says is a fair point. you have this other investigation going on into russia and he didn't want to prejudice the outcome by reviewing some of those details. there was so much innuendo about the clinton e-mail server

question. and because he felt so much heat, comey did, internally. internally people who were so angry about hillary clinton, his own agents, he felt he had to do that publicly. there was no question that had an impact at the end of the race. >> right. sit so interesting is. obviously these are nike circumstances. so i hear her when she says it's time to learn from this and see what lessons we can apply moving forward. but this will never happen again. these were all unique moments in time. anyway, it's interesting to hear her on the book tour and talk about her assessment of how it all went down. >> it is also institutional questions. how as a president do you handle the fact that you have russian interference. this is a question bigger than just what happened here. >> all right, david, thanks. we'll be back with you momentarily for other analysis. now over to chris in florida. >> reporter: there's also political consideration. how much attention does the president of the united states give his former opponent?

the answer is the president is probably watching this show this morning and already tweeting about hillary clinton. but where he needs to have his head is here in florida. we have an update on the efforts to restore power, get this place back up and on its feet. where are we, next. sfx: t-mobile mnemonic sfx: t-mobile mnemonic sfx: t-mobile mnemonic t-mobile's unlimited now includes netflix on us.
