everything maintains and holds strong were moving some product around in our warehouse spat born blasters. i'm just hoping for the best. i don't really have insurance their either. and it is time for any roof. but again, and we'll see as long as there's no loss of life that's the main thing any of the other stuff will be fine. >> matt heller, i got to tell you that you are a walking emoji smiling and optimistic. thank you so much. we hope you sincerely stay safe we'll see you tomorrow night. please stay safe. okay. >> thank you, laura. thank you thank you so much. and hey, thank all of you for watching out there. >> anderson cooper 360 is next >> tonight on 360 get out. that is the message from federal and florida officials tonight, warning residents time is running out to evacuate before hurricane milton back at category five, strength makes landfall also tonight. the former president making the

federal response to these life-threatening hurricanes political yet again despite officials saying misinformation has made the disaster relief all the more difficult. plus new information tonight on multiple phone calls between vladimir putin and former president trump's since he left office. the detail from bob woodward in his latest book. good evening. we start tonight with hurricane milton gaining strength at this moment and headed toward tampa, florida a region still reeling from hurricane helene. and that tonight for the second time in nearly as many weeks is expecting record storm surge roads are jammed, gas running low in the area are not available in some places. i want to show you something that you don't see too often in florida. take a look that treasure island near tampa and st. petersburg and your ghost town after people evacuated, one person who is there, our boris sanchez will check in with him shortly. an astronaut aboard the spacex capsule publish this time last video today, giving some idea of the sheer size of this storm and the life threatening trouble at represents president biden today warned that this could be

one of the worst storms in 100 years in florida. in fact, the national weather service has storm prediction center says we could see the major impacts from the storm as early as tonight, warning of possible tornadoes and waterspouts. so let's start with chad myers in the cnn weather center in atlanta. what is the latest jud brand-new 8:00 advisory anderson just out now, still 165 miles per hour, hurricane hunter aircraft are in the eye and they can confirm those numbers, 440 miles southwest of tampa moving at ten he can't do the division there and get 44 hours because the storm is expected to pick up speed, pick up speed, turn to the north and then eventually turned to the east and that's the forecast at this point in time, right through the middle of the treasure coast anywhere here on the other side of florida as well. so anywhere from tampa. all all the way down to naples, you are really in this cone. the cone is the key here because a lot of this, wherever this makes landfall, the

southern part is where that ten to 15 foot storm surge is going to take out barrier islands, take out homes, and hopefully you're not there chad, i mean, how likely is it that this is going to drop down to a lesser category storm and any idea exactly what time it would make really start to hit it probably makes tropical storm force winds over the entire state other than the panhandle around 8:00 tomorrow night. so right now, this will be 24 hours from now, everybody will see tropical storm force winds and hurricane force winds will just be now coming on shore why is it so hard for us to call where it's going to be? because we can't tell you that there's going to be a wobble out here by about 30 miles to the south earlier today. and now it's kind of wobbled backup to the north. it's those wobbles that are so concerning. where does it actually go? well, the center now is likely sarasota. so if you're sarasota south, that's where that big surge is going to be. tampa the a little bit of less surge, but still

you're going to get the wind of 125 to 130. so to answer your question, yes, the forecast is still for the wind speed to come down, but the surge will not come down. the surge is already built, its already built in and it's coming here to western florida it's interesting the surge, it's the surge has already been created by this cat five, and that's going to be the same surge? yes. absolutely. that is exactly what happened in katrina when katrina went from a five to three and we thought, oh, you know, maybe 15, 30 feet window somewhere. it was 26 feet of storm surge in bay st. louis, even though it was only a category the three borderline for when it made landfall, it had a category five surge and that's what we're seeing here. this is the area that we're seeing in tampa you are not out of the search. one little turn to the left and you're completely back in it. so ten to 15 though from fort myers, even naples, you could get a ten foot surge that will wash over some of your barrier islands. and then we talk about

where's it going to hit when all the answer is everywhere because look, 110 miles per hour all the way from north of tampa, all the way down to fort myers. and then hurricane force all the way completely offshore through daytona, through cape canaveral so many people, orlando without power. i can see there'll be millions of customers without power in so many crews are up in the carolinas trying to put those power lines backup gen. myers, we'll check in with you again. >> boris sanchez joins us from treasure island, florida. again, you're tampa and st. petersburg. that area, obviously still recovering from helene. what are people you've talked to? there are preparations >> anderson eerily quiet today on treasure island. this is an area with about 10,000 residents, roughly. usually a big tourist destination, but many of the beach beach front hotels are shut down because of hurricane helene hitting about two weeks ago. and there's trash strewn everywhere. this is one of the giant piles that we've seen in pinellas county.

this thing is about 20 to 25 feet high. a couple of hundred feet long, and it is full of just random stuff. there's a bag of golf clubs there's a ton of pieces of wood just like this. imagine this thing coming toward you at 120 miles an hour on top of that, you've got space heaters, you've got all kinds of scrap, not the other issue with this barrier island, like so many others on the other side of the ocean, there's a bay, so you're talking about a ten to 15 foot storm surge coming in here with a foot of rain more or less estimated to be on top of that where is this stuff going to go? so when speaking to neighbors that live in the community that have debris lined up outside of their homes. by the way, we've been seeing this block to block to block across treasure island that's one of their chief concerns. i spoke to a couple of different residents today. one of them, a gentleman named matt who lives in a condo. he lives on the first floor of a condo and he wrote out helene here. he said the water got up to his chest and he panicked and he got out. he was

fortunate to get out this time. it wasn't taking any chances. he saw all this stuff and thought that this would essentially turn into projectiles headed his way. there was another lady who lived in the building next to his. she had some mobility issues. she was contemplating trying to ride out the storm. fortunately, earlier this afternoon, i saw her family common and ask them and she decided that it was the right decision to leave. remember, this island, 7:00 p.m. about an hour forgo access was shut off to everyone anderson. >> so access was shut off i mean, has anyone do you know do your knowledge refuse to evacuate link, boris, we'll check in with him again, joining us now is chief barbara tripp of tampa fire rescue, who is also with us last night. last night, chief tripp. what's your message to people right now in evacuation zones in tampa who have not yet evacuated well, good evening. >> first of all, i'm lot of people have definitely evacuated the area. they have

been listened to the local and state rules as far as the different evacuation zones. so i must say that we might have maybe one or two. law enforcement has been going door to door and making communication with all the residents and a lot of what taking heat to it the tampa mayor jane castor told cnn, quote, if you choose to stay in one of those evacuation areas, you're going to die. you agree with her? >> well, i don't think she mean it like that. you're gonna die. she's pretty much stand a chance to view surviving, especially it all depends on what kind of surge come in if you end up drowning. and basically to take yourself at a harm, you don't want to contain to keep yourself in harm's so we seen from hurricane helene, all i of the water that came in and we had to do well, a lot of rescues, so we don't want to put the first responders at risk trying to save some one. so that's why we telling everybody, please get out because we don't want this to turn into a casualty i've covered a lot of hurricanes and men out there a lot in one, they come in, there's a lot of debris flying

around in the air, even in a place where there hasn't been a hurricane that they had recently looking at all these pictures, all the debris left from helene. >> what is this going to be like out on the streets so you know, fortunate are solid waste has been working 24/7 ever since helene came through and made a lot of damage and the two areas are the three areas that has been affected we have cleared two of them, 100% and one of the areas we probably about ten to 20% that we wasn't able to cover and we're going to try that first thing tomorrow morning. that's good. what's the plan for tampa fire and rescue once the storm hits tomorrow, obviously traditionally, you fire rescue has to suspend operations until it's safe to go out yes, that is true. >> so that's why we want everyone to make sure that he too the evacuation because once the wind gets sustained, about 40 miles per hour, we have to cut services and we won't be able to respond once the storm

is over and it's safe for us glad and first responders going to go out and evaluate and assess and definitely respond to all the 911 calls. and with that being said, we urge everyone wants the storm is over, don't do not go outside, do not try to go out and see what's going on. let the city come in and do an evaluation. and so we can make sure it's safe and clear for people to come out. >> well, i wish you the best barbara tripp. thank you. we'll check in with you throughout the next several days. they say for next guest, dr. megan martin is a pediatric emergency physician and st. petersburg, florida. she posted on instagram about she and her kids will be living in the hospital the next few days as she helps with the response this is my bet. it's a cot that i keep in my office about it a couple of years ago during the normal times, anybody can sleep on it, but during hurricanes, i call dibs dr. megan martin joins us now from st. petersburg. >> thanks for taking the time. just talk to us. so you're going to be riding out a hurricane in the hospital where you work with your four kids? i think you're gonna be working tomorrow. how are you feeling about everything with about 24 hours until this begins to

really hit you know, i'll be honest. >> i'm nervous. we're still in the recovery for helene. this is a pretty big storm. it could wobble and come a little bit closer to our direction. the storm surge could just be devastated stating for this area. so i'm honestly i'm a little nervous, but we're going to we're going to keep working. we're going to keep the hospitals functioning. we're going to be taking care of the kiddos that come in and just kinda doing our best here. >> how are your kids how are how are they doing? are they nervous? how old are they the >> my kids are 6912 and 14. okay. >> and they have unlimited screen time right now, so they are living the dream that they are living it up. >> the older ones kind of understand the younger ones. just think this is an adventure have you been in a hurricane like i mean, anything similar hurricane. >> i've lived in florida basically my whole life. we've had a lot of threats and the tampa area, but a lot of times

it'll just wobble south and we get really, really lucky in this area. >> i think it was charlie. i was down there think it was for charlie. they were supposed to hit tampa. it hit punta gorda. i think it was just really devastated vendor border charlie, ian, irma. >> we've been looking at five in the past, but they end up going south and we've just really lucked out. >> you were working at the hospital during hurricane helene and watched your house flood? in real time on cameras posted around your home are showing some of those pictures first of all, how much damage did it sustained, but also what is that like? seeing that in real time happening to your house while you are at work? >> you know it's not fun. but there's nothing that i can do about it. we knew that this was going to be a big storm with big storm surge. and we did our best to prepare ahead of time, we hired movers, we had stuff in trucks obviously, we couldn't get everything out as you can see, it kind of floating around the living room. but it was it was tough i

wasn't a biggest i'm not a big fan of watching that kind of damage to our house. we ended up with close to four feet of water throughout the house and we've had to gut it in all the drywall cabinets bathroom sinks, everything out and we're waiting to fix everything back up until the season passes just because of everything being so busy right now. yeah. >> well and what's your message to people who may not have heated evacuation orders stay safe and be really thoughtful. >> i posted a video earlier because once the water starts getting too high, you can't open your doors. and if your windows are boarded up, you got some problems so be really thoughtful about what you're doing. and if you have the availability to get out now, the time i also keep coming back to the all this debris from helene. i mean, the the we're talking to the fire department. they were saying would that a lot of it has been picked up? i hope so on treasure island, it looks like there's a lot of it's still still out there. people don't realize that those things get

picked up. >> though. >> there's missiles neighborhood really hasn't been addressed yet. i'm in pinellas county, so a different county from hillsborough. we still have a lot of trash on the roads and it will all become projectiles making situation out there even more dangerous. >> yeah. well, dr. megan morgan, i wish you the best and i hope your of your kids and try to screen time thanks so much. thank you very much. all right. you take care, of still ahead tonight before hurricane milton has even made landfall, the foreign president is already in for the second time in almost as many weeks politicize the federal responsible. >> take a look at that. plus what vice president harris said also night reporting from the new bob woodward book on the long distance relationship between former president trump and vladimir putin. that's continued. apparently, will talk to hear from what bob woodward is now reporting

black people had an explosive reverberation after kanye said it, this was a lot of people's faces because it felt like he said the quiet part out loud. >> that moment all laid the groundwork for black lives matter for better or worse, a lot of people came away and that and it's my turn to talk. >> i must say what i tv on the edge, moments that shaped our culture sunday at nine on cnn we always had dog carolina, my best buddies adam, my whole life so we got him and he is then absolute joy monster gone on that it's incredible they're so tune in to you and a half such social personality being whether out of though erin can imagine icy hot works for us he

can credibly appreciate it racket response in the cooperation from the medical team at fema response was quick from the federal government. >> we got what we need. he offered that if there's other things we need just to call him directly now, the last comment was from georgia governor brian kemp days after the storm made landfall, trump said that camp hadn't been able to get president biden on the phone camp earlier that day. >> he told reporters he had spoken to biden. actually, the day before today, vice president harris appeared on abc's the view before trump had posted this message, she was asked, why does trump do this he puts himself before the needs of other i fear that he really lacks empathy on a very basic level to care about the suffering of other people and then understand the role the leader is not to beat people down. >> it's to lift people up absolutely. >> especially in a time of trying let's get some perspective now, former trump

campaign adviser david urban, also jasmine wright, politics reporter for the new site. notice, and jamal simmons, former communications director for vice president harris. >> jamal is trump's calculation that this rallies more people than it offense if he's making that calculation is the wrong calculation. the answer could thought the wrong way. it's just so tricky to do this in the midst of a stormy, we just sat here and watched you go through a variety of things with folks were on the ground who are showing you what's happening, the devastation, how they're preparing. this isn't a time for politics. i think that's the thing that vice president, the president have both been trying to say hey, it's a time for for the country to pull together and everybody to pay attention. it's interesting that there was this little back-and-forth between the vice president and governor desantis in florida that perhaps didn't call her back. the he thinks he was calling for epcot tickets. she was calling because they have a job to do. i'm sure there are lots of things she'd rather do than take to governor today. desantis on the phone. so they're neglecting the job are supposed to do in order to play politics. and i think

that's the dangerous calculation because most people would think this is a very important time, and we should be pulling together, not pulling apart david, i mean, is it defensible to make stuff up about natural disaster recovery efforts while it's ongoing no, but let's anderson look at to say this is the first time i remember george bush and katrina. i mean, talk about politicization. it's been, it's been going on every time there's a storm, it happens regardless the democrats or republicans, or office, i don't condone, i think it's bad as someone who rode out hurricane, ian, david while, there were no buses outside the convention center for days? yeah i mean, this is that was that yeah. >> but is the same. he understood that, you know, it's apples and oranges. you're right, but it was fumbled on multiple levels. the mayor, the governor, and louisiana. so it wasn't squarely on the doorstep of george bush yeah. >> but, but, but we haven't seen that. i'm disaster efforts are difficult. they can always be non faster. obviously, there are people in need and communities that haven't been reached that

should be all that's valid and that but there's stuff you don't need to make stuff up i'm not sure what what what did he make up, anderson, i'm not quite sure what he made up. the event that all the disaster money has gone, that it's all gone to illegal immigrants well, i mean, i don't know if he said it's i don't know if he said i don't know if he's said it's all gone. he was pointing out that some money under the dhs budget did go to did go to that and i know it's different counts, but yes it can be reprogrammed, and said there could be only getting $750 when in fact, yes, that is initially for emergency needs and again, you can argue whether that's enough. you could a valid argument but there's also a lot of other things that people are able to get. >> so yeah >> it takes months and weeks and years. i agree. he's just making stuff up. >> so jasmine, i mean, there's been this controversy that jamal talked about, you know, between governor desantis refusing to take the call from the vice president last night? adriane, the program, we learn

the biden desantis did eventually speak. they're separate appearances on fox desantis dismissed harris as having no role in the process. on the view today, the vice president criticized the governor around the same time, biden was in washington complementing its very confusing, but there, here's two clips to play. both their responses you and governor desantis have been going back and forth trading jabs over your attempt to check in and ahead of the storm, you've called him selfish for not taking your calls. well, first of all, i have called and talked with in the course of this crisis, this most recent crisis and republican governor. so obviously, this is not an issue that is about partisanship or politics for certain leaders, but maybe as for others, every governor, every governor from florida to north carolina i've been fully cooperative and supportive and acknowledge what his team is doing how do you see the

politics of this storm yeah, i anderson, well, i thought that that was a bit of counter programming between the vice president and current president. obviously, i think we're kind of seeing the limits of having the official government versus having a camp pain but i think this actually plays right into the arguments that the vice president, her campaign had been making, which is that what is at choice between or the choice that americans have really are the choices between two different temperaments it is no mistake that the vice president is questioning whether or not trump is able to be empathetic after the comments that he's made really politicizing the storm, saying that fema is giving money from disaster relief to migrants, something that has been debunked repeatedly and that he knows has been debunked. it's showing or it allows the vice president to really question his motives and question whether or not he is able to be there for the american people in a way that her campaign mean it's really trying to do quite seriously trying to show the american voters at whether or not they want to elect trump. and really

have to deal with that chaos going forward. so this really plays, it's the hand of it, but i would actually agree with david in that both sides, even though they're very different at the volume, both sides are really taking this storm our coverage into political matters, talking about empathy, talking about whether or not the other side is doing enough to respond to the really gravity of the moment. >> there's new poll jamal from the new york times showing harris leading trump nationally by three points she leads trump by two points on the question of who represents change interesting. she gave this answer on the view this morning. let's take you have done something differently than president biden during the past four years? there is done a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and i've been a part of most of the decisions that have had impact

and me, will that will be one of the differences. i'm going to have a republican in my cabinet there's no differences that i it seemed like this is the first time she'd been asked this question, which is would be surprising or that it hadn't been thought out. >> yeah, i imagine they'd been says she's thought about this before, obviously, sometimes these interviews that hasn't always come off in the most compelling way. but here's the thing. if she had mentioned something thing in that interview, we'd be spitting this entire time right now, talking about the differences between what joe biden did and then what she's arguing right now. i think we are seeing that she is changed, not just because of joe biden, as she said, it's the last ten years we've had ten years has battled trump on the scene in those ten years, we've had somebody who has been putting himself and his pocket all it takes ahead of what the country has been up to. i think the country is now starting to recognize. we're seeing this new york times ball and others that she represents change. she cares about people like them, and she's going to do things in a way that is honorable and respectable. and i think they want something different.

>> david, when you see a two-point lead nationally, is that enough for me? given that that traditionally trump has underperformed in, in polls there were people months ago saying that she would need a double-digit lead nationally yeah. >> looked at anderson. i don't live or die by every poll comes out, but just go back to jamal's response there in your, in your question that was a disastrous response disastrous she knows that question is coming. it's on the view, it's like a softball question. tell me one thing. this is like a job interview, like why work too hard. i'm too diligent right? like tell me one thing you do differently about the disastrous biden administration and she she's she's running as an outsider. she's tried to distance herself from the administration, right? that's a whole stick for the past, for the past hurt time in the campaign, she's not she's pretending she hasn't been the vice president for 1,400 days and she gives us answer that she would do not one thing differently in that poll you're referencing anderson, i think the one crosstab that i found very interesting people were

asked, does job do joe biden's policies has his presidency helped you or hurt you? only 22% of respondents said joe biden's policies have helped me. so kamala harris just said, i would do nothing different. britley and just i would accept that 22% of success rate. i mean, that's just a debacle. jabal, you know, you'd take it back at, you could. >> for the regulators and we have seen 16 million jobs in this economy, inflation is down, growth is there rebound has been, do you think this was a gift for republicans because it certainly he, david urban brynn does believe it is i think it was a missed opportunity by the vice president, particularly when you look at that new york times poll we've seen her for the first time since respondents have been asked that question since she replaced biden on the ticket, who is the change agent? >> who they see being able to make the most change between her and trump. and for the first time, she is leading trump so instead of doubling down on that lead and saying, you know what, in hindsight, as being the vice president, i saw

that we did x and maybe we could do why even on something simple like i would have increased student debt cancellations from 20,000 to 30,000. her not saying or huskies me, her saying. i don't have anything in mind though, of course, she did redirect a couple of minutes later and say that, you know, i would actually put around publican on my cabinet. i do think that was a missed opportunity for her to really try to create some space, particularly because the election is going to come to a couple of things including who can change from the past four years, who can provide americans the relief that they didn't exactly get during biden's administration. i don't think that that answer that she gave answers that question. >> jasmine wright, david urban. >> she now she now owns afghanistan. all those things i think people care. they already care. he'll continue coming out to revelations in legendary journalist bob woodward's new book, including multiple phone calls between donald trump and vladimir putin after the former president left office

>> again, who secretly is helping out an adversary when the american people are dying by the hundreds, every day and in need of relief. and instead, how did he handle it domestically from americans, he mismanaged the whole thing woodward also has reporting about conversations between trump and putin after the foreign president left office. >> so just for some context, it is true that sometimes former president's have phone calls with other world leaders, jimmy carter has headed bush 41 did, but normally the protocol is, you informed the state department you inform the white house certainly a call with trump and putin raises a certain level of interest, woodward reports that a top trump aide told him that trump has had as many as seven phone calls with the russian president trump today denied those calls. the white house declined to comment about them.

we don't know the content of those calls but if in fact they happen, it is certainly as of interest. >> i understand that senator lindsey graham apparently also make some colorful, i guess, shall we say appearances and woodward's book or some observations about the former examples? >> so i think lindsey graham is always colorful and thinks he said, these comments are interesting because when he's talking about trump, it's not always positive and he writes, we're work quotes him lindsey graham says, going to mar-a-lago is a little bit like going to north korea everybody stands up and claps every time trump comes in and he goes on to say that biden quote, won fair and square. but that trump doesn't like hearing that both true things anderson jamie gangel. thank you so much. kamala we return to our breaking news and already stormed back florida braces for hurricane milton. in a moment

off sarasota for the last 25 years she evacuated for helene, but her husband stayed in their house to ride out the storm that night. >> he got no power. he had no phone and we lost touch with him and we found out the next day there was a five foot surge of water in house and he was all night in the pitch dark and five foot of water. and he went out. he noticed the water rising and thought this could be really bad. and he went out and the water raised up to his chest and he went across the street and climbed a neighbor steps it's just in the dark, counting the steps. and he sat there for hours on the top of a neighbor's high house until the water went down a little and then went back in the house and laid on a wet until light. >> her husband has been ill ever since the two of them are planning to ride out hurricane milton at a friend's condo on the ninth floor of a building in downtown sarasota. it's built to withstand a category five hurricane.

>> we're hoping we've made the right decision and we're just hunkering down. it feels like maybe helene was just a rehearsal for what's to come that they're talking possible 15 foot storm surge, sarasota's mayor, liz alpert told me she fears anyone who doesn't evacuate could be without power and water for a week at least until it's safe for rescue crews to deliver aid for many, it's too late to evacuate around the area. many roads are either clubbed or closed more and more gas stations are closed having run out of fuel even the penguins at the florida aquarium and tampa are being moved to higher ground. and for those staying, there was a rush on water and plywood is residents made last-ditch efforts to board up businesses isn't homes. milton is promising to be so massive. it's moved even this veteran florida meteorologist to tears just an incredible, incredible, incredible hurricane. it has dropped

residents who thought they'd seen the worst of it with helene, we lost all our belongings, all my clothes, my shoes. >> i'm a filmmaker, all my camera equipment, my lighting equipment might sound equipment and also my clothes, shoes all our furniture everything. none of us on in 100 years, i've seen anything like this it is shocking randi joins us now from sarasota, is it clear if most people there have evacuated people have evacuated anderson. >> i mean, it's like a ghost town around here. i can't speak to those barrier islands which are just off sarasota, those they closed the bridge to those island planes about 7:00 p.m. tonight, according to the mayor of sarasota, when i spoke with her earlier, so we don't know if those people evacuated, but if they haven't, they are stuck there now through the storm. but anderson, i know if you can see this pile of debris behind me, but if anything serves as a reminder of the power and the ferocity of a

storm like this. this is what helene left this drive around sarasota, you see this everywhere. people's homes, their contents have just spilled out onto the streets. you have refrigerators, china cabinets, dressers, couch's, just sitting here as garbage now, if they need a reminder as to why they need to heed those warnings and evacuate this right here is one of them, anderson randi, thanks very much for more now, on the federal government's response to the storm on joined by fema administrator deanne criswell, mr. criswell, thank you for so weird of fema is preparations for hurricane milton stand tonight? >> anderson, we have been preparing for hurricane milton for several days now. we've got thousands of people in the state of florida supporting the response and the recovery from helene, but also from some previous storms. and this is the third year in a row that the west coast of florida has gotten hit we've, moved additional resources and we've moved in search and rescue teams from our teams from the coast guard cbp, the department

of defense we've moved in commodities health care assessment teams all the same resources that we moved in ahead of helene. so they can be ready to respond as soon as the storm has passed, and as soon as they have needs how stretched is the federal response at this point? i mean, obviously, there's a lot of folks in north carolina in need. and elsewhere still from helene events just like this. but this is going to be a challenge, right? these are two very large events back the back, but we have a layered approach to our staffing. and we have done this before. we have responded to hurricane harvey, irma and maria in 2000 2017. and even in 2020, while we had every state declared for covid-19, we also had major hurricanes and wildfires. and so we've done this before. we plan for this, and we have strategies to make sure that we're using all available resources within fema. but were just part of the team. the rest of the federal

government as well. >> i know you're not focused on politics, obviously you got a lot to do, but it's, i got to ask you former president continues to say things about the federal response females response that about the helene do, not seem to be true. i mean, among other things, he's claiming that funding was diverted to care for illegal immigrants, that there's no money left it. what do you say to that? and what's what that kind of information out there that he's spreading? what does that do to their morale of people working on disaster relief? >> anderson, i've been talking about this for a few days now and it's clearly that i've said that this is false, that the information and the lies that are being spread are just simply untrue and it's a distraction and i'm not going to let it impact our ability to continue to respond and my focus right now and our team's focus right now is on category five hurricane headed towards florida. that's where we're going to continue to push our efforts and make sure that we're meeting the needs of those that get impacted when you talk about staging, search

and recovery teams, where do you do that? given it's hard to know, the storms can move, can shift. i remember during katrina, they were staging what? when area and then ended up going to other areas. how do you figure that out we actually take direction from the state, right? >> and so we want to coordinate and integrate with all of their search and rescue teams. florida has got an incredible capability for search and rescue and we bring in additional teams to make sure that we're integrated with them. and will stage with them in areas that we no are going to be safe for them. so they can immediately operate and get in and perform those functions if needed. >> deanne criswell. i appreciate all your efforts. thank you. good luck thanks. >> anderson. still ahead. the third season of my podcast about grief and loss debuts tonight is available right now, wherever you get your podcast after andrew garfield is my first guest, you'll hear from him in a moment look at the news of the week and asked questions like, what
