4:00 pm
management for bill smead in seattle and growing. thank you very much. [closing bell rings] it crossed the unchanged line 55 times during this session. the markets closed lower for the week. david and melissa, pick it up or on this friday for "after the bell." david: stocks are sinking after the jobs report fails to meet expectations. the major averages spending the day and the week in the red. hi, everybody, i'm david asman. melissa: i'm melissa francis. this is "after the bell." we have you covered on all the big market movers but here is what else we have for you coming up this hour. hurricane matthew pounding the eastern coast of florida as it makes its way north, threatening georgia and the carolinas where more evacuations are underway. president obama just declaring a state of emergency now for north carolina. winds whipping at 120 miles per hour with dangerous storm surges eight to 12 feet! more than half a million people now without power in florida. we are on the ground along the
4:01 pm
coast with the latest update. david: want to get you back to the markets before more on the hurricane. the dow inhaving after today's disappointing jobs report. home depot, united tech, walmart and biggest losers. gold seeing a big drop for the week although up slightly today. phil flynn, price futures and fox business contributor has details. ashley webster on floor of new york stock exchange. ashley, there was this "flash crash" of the pound before our markets opened. it kind of turned around but what happened? reporter: asia overnight, david. it absolutely plummeted some 6% just like that going down 114 to the dollar. at one point only cost you $114 to buy a pound. computer algorithms is best guess of everyone that saw this. it recovered back to 124. in fact at the end of the day the ftse in london outshown the rest of the european markets an gained thanks to a weaker pound. "flash crash," looked at
4:02 pm
algorithms, picked up a word, gave them jitters, sell orders came in but the . recovered. as for other stocks today, check out the gap up 15%, best performance in eight years. of course they have the gap stores and they have banana republic and old navy. over all it was same store comparables really helped the stock especially for old navy, up 4% despite the fact this company had a big fire at a distribution center up in new york which hurt sales but not enough to give investors hope for entire sector. maybe the retailers can come back. quickly, verizon and yahoo! report in the "new york post" saying verizon wants a billion dollar discount for its $4.8 billion offer for yahoo! because of all the scandal and big hack in 2014. also the fact it was revealed yahoo! was spy forge the nsa and fbi. all those things according to
4:03 pm
the post says verizon says we want a hefty discount on our original offer. no comment from verizon, david. david: thank you, ashley. melissa: gold posting largest weekly loss in more than three years. wow. >> it has been unbelievable. a lot of it is the concerns about the "brexit" and that "flash crash" in the british pound doesn't really help confidence that things are going smoothly over in europe right now. we also of course had to deal with the federal reserve sounding more and more hawkish. we had mr. evans from chicago talking more hawkish. that pointed to a downward move on the gold. make no mistake about it. let's look at oil real quickly. oil, it is back down today. natural gas hit 21-month high. a lot had to do with hurricane matthew. there is speculation, that the storm, even though it created a lot of power outages, not nearly as much as originally feared. that drove natural gas prices up.
4:04 pm
oil is backs down on hopes maybe we get supply back into the gulf. back to you. melissa: phil, thank you for that. david: the department of labor statistics releasing the monthly jobs report, announcing that the u.s. economy added 156,000 jobs with unemployment rate for 5% for the month of september. the top line was miss of estimates of 170,000 jobs with an unemployment rate of 4.9%. joining me to react, michelle gerard of rbs, jack hough, "barron's" senior editor and edgar pierce. good to see you all. michelle, this report in my eyes perfectly represents the economy, blah. there is not much there. if anything it is slipping. >> well, but it is not that much of a miss and i have to say even at this pace, which is slower than with we had been seeing when we were enjoying job gains better than 200,000 a month. we'll continue to see the unemployment rate, only reason
4:05 pm
we didn't move down, more people came in to look for work. i agree with you, doesn't feel like things are taking off, gaining a lot of momentum, we are. federal reserve won't think about need for interest rates this year. david: at least as it was in terms of interest rate thing. we put up labor participation rate. they made a big thing how it was up .1 of 1%. still it is historically low. 62.9%, whoopee. we were at 67.3% 15 years ago. it has come down ever since. real unemployment rate, if you take that into account is in double digits. >> come on, we have a lot of different ways to measure unemployment. this issue about a couple of missing million workers from the workforce is becoming harder and harder to argue it is because these people can't find jobs.
4:06 pm
in the forthcoming issue of "barron's." david: can't find jobs for the way they are trained. that is the point, jack. there are a lot of jobs not being filled, you're right. but people have possibility of getting those jobs don't have right training for them. >> our economics editor argues that maybe we're at full employment right now. david: no weighings, jack. no way. >> got a lot of people out there collecting disability. you have a lot of people participating in underground means of earning a living. you have people undocumented workers. people doing things for money on the side that doesn't necessarily show up on the books. david: that doesn't necessarily help the economy. that is the whole point, ingrid, that our economy is slowing down. it is not moving fast enough to make any, to make anything happen that make people feel more comfortable about their own lives. >> right. what they actually want to do is be able to get jobs and good jobs. so i think your point about needing training and skills is absolutely spot on. if you don't have that, then they will be skilled jobs that other people simply can not fill. david: ingrid, i have to use
4:07 pm
you, everybody knows your accent. you're from england. we had the british crash, the crash of the pound this morning. maybe it was one of these computer trade things going on but there is a lot of skiddishness about the pound and what is happening in europe in general. >> absolutely there is a lot of nervous and one can understand why. maybe we're all putting our heads in the sand behaving like ostriches. whether this was a glitch, bank of england will investigate to see what the cause was. there is nervousness partly because of the announcement on "brexit" that that is actually now going to be a hard decision and a hard "brexit." melissa: so how is all of this going to play out on the campaign trail? jack, i will start with you. if you're a candidate on the trail, how do you spin it? >> if you're trump, things couldn't possibly get any worse than they are right now. you might as well roll the dice and get crazy. if you're hillary clinton things are pretty good. you better not screw anything up. this will not change anyone's mind, right? the kind of people who don't know who they are voting for
4:08 pm
yet, not kind of people waiting for jobs number. kind of people looking at jobs numbers they have none for a long time who they will vote for. melissa: seems like jack played right into trump's hands. wouldn't you say if you're on trump say, listen these guys will tell you this is fantastic. this is full employment. if you like your job and like your paycheck and like your pocketbook and you feel good about where you are financially and your family, by god vote for the same people who have been in office eight years, no? >> well, look, whichever side of the debate you're on there will always be something to say and get out of this because the result seems to be pretty fair and middling. nobody can say the jobs number came out was particularly impressive one way or the other. whichever side of the debate you're on you will find someth about it to make it work in your favor. melissa: jack, what do you think could be improved at this point? if you think we're at full employment and people working off the books and doing all these other things but the economy is still growing at less
4:09 pm
than 2%, if everybody is working how do we get things going? >> i would really like to see some wage growth. melissa: how do you do that, great point. >> we're starting starting to s. you would expect to see it if the labor market is tight. we need a lot more of it. melissa: ingrid do you see wage growth on the horizon? >> what you're seeing in some sectors, they're paying premium retention fees to keep talented people. absolutely some sectors that will be the case. melissa: guys, thanks to both of you. ingrid thanks for joining us new to our show. we love it. david: new hillary documents released from the state department in the past hour, ahead of turned's debate. bret baier host of "special report" for his reaction what is in the nearly 270 pages. >> as hurricane matthew hits florida, clinton has been denied extension of voter registration.
4:10 pm
what does it mean for who takes the state? >> georgia has not hit by a hurricane in over 100 years. we get a live update from the ground and we'll speak with the head of fema coming right up. >> i'm really concerned about jacksonville. we're focusing on jacksonville, there is potential for significant flooding there. you can run an errand.

4:13 pm
david: have you seen what is happening in haiti. more than 800 people killed there alone as hurricane matthew made its way out caribbean through florida. in jacksonville, residents are already getting slammed by the storm. what is happening there now? >> david, we're getting slammed and we're hour away from the worst of hurricane matthew
4:14 pm
hitting jacksonville. once it comes it will be here several hours far into the night. this is wind picking up in last hour alone. debris scattered all over the boardwalk. this is the st. johns river. this river is swelling, technically going down to low tide right now. these waters have not gone down. show you point how high the storm surge is. they're expecting six to nine feet here downtown. they have ordered nearly half a million people to evacuate from jacksonville alone. a lot of folks though have not been able to leave. they say possibly as many as 50% of the city is still here in these evacuation zones. now, the captain of this ship, america, it's a replica of the famous civil war ship, he is on his way down to galveston, got stuck here midway, tying up while hurricane matthew came through.
4:15 pm
we spoke to him a short time ago. he is worried about repeating history. >> no. this is the the only replica of original yacht america from 1851. of course the real irony for me the original boat was sunk here in 1862 by the confederate navy. so, i certainly don't want to repeat history. reporter: now i want to show you here, david, if you look close here if this water continues to rise another three or four feet, the concern is this boat will then be able to start to tip over and possibly, if it gets up to nine feet as they're predicting it could be on the high-end, it could be floating into this parking lot. that is something the tap pain is hoping to avoid. david: that is low tide right now. imagine what happens with high tide. garrett tenney, thank you very much. stay safe my friend, appreciate it. melissa: a number of florida residents refusing to evacuate their homes despite repeated urging to do so from the state's governor rick scott. the governor is requesting new
4:16 pm
aid materials from the federal emergency management agency also known as fema. joining us now, is fema administrator craig fugate. thanks very much for joining us. we really appreciate it. what is your overall assessment of the situation right now? where are we in it, where is the greatest need? >> well so far we haven't seen in many areas the worst part of the storm as you see from jacksonville. it is getting out of that area. we've been talking about florida a lot. we're talking about georgia, south carolina, our primary focus is supporting the governor's response to life saving, life sustaining operations as conditions begin to improve further south in florida, we'll start doing assessments and determine what kind of long-term recovery is needed but president obama is already declared emergencies and in all of the states affected so we're able to directly support governors in response states.
4:17 pm
melissa: what is the biggest challenge for emergency agencies and yourself? >> as you're evacuating, some people do choose to stay behind and really how bad is the storm going to get in these areas. as soon as conditions permit doing assessment and search-and-rescue and the storm. pretty much everything government can do to get prepared is done. we see damage and ability to respond immediately as the storm pulls away. we're not going to wait for the sun to shine obviously to get help to people. melissa: no, i know you're monitoring the situation, as you watch the storm sweep through and you anticipate where it is going, what area in particular are you most worried about, whether based on conditions that were there before then or sea level, what is your biggest concern? >> from jacksonville, over to
4:18 pm
savannah up into charleston, the part of the country very vulnerable brunswick, savannah and storm surge can go inland river systems and the way coastal barrier islands, sea islands are set up. the storm surge. we'll look at storm surge, carolinas, heavy rain as the system begins to inner act with a front. that can produce rainfall excess with a foot causing flash flooding. melissa: is your hands tied in any way? is there anything your agency need that it is not getting now? >> no. we have to wait for the storm now to move through before we can begin responding on the back side. we pretty well have put in position equipment, personnel and support states. states are the lead. they have national guard, their local responders but we have everything we need to support the initial response. then as we get through this emergency part of the disaster, we'll look what kind of recovery
4:19 pm
assistance will be needed. melissa: sir, thank you for coming on. we certainly appreciate your efforts. thank you. david: well devastating details out of haiti as hurricane matthew tore through the caribbean. we'll keep you updated on the latest with the storm. another friday, another document dump. new details on the fresh batch of clinton emails just released within the past hour. bret baier, host of "special report" is here next with his reaction.

melissa: state department releasing hundreds of more hillary clinton emails reigniting the controversial scandal. peter barnes has the latest from this day's document dump. peter? reporter: melissa this is the latest dump of clinton private emails from the state department. hundreds of pages but just 75 emails. importantly these are emails that were reviewed by the fbi
4:23 pm
and then turned over to the state department for screening as part of the fib bi's investigation into clinton use of private email server. as you know the fbi declined to recommend prosecuting her after its investigation or anybody involved in it. as with other emails, the state department and national security agencies have been reviewing these emails for retroactive determination of whether they contained any classified information and indeed a search finds that six of them have been marked classified retroactively. five from 2009 and one from 2011. all of them between clinton and her aid, huma abedin and now all heavily redacted. for these six the topics were elections in honduras, assistance for libya post-muammar qaddafi in 2011, not anything around the 2012 benghazi attacks. a speech by israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, and two emails forwarded by abedin
4:24 pm
from clinton from her confidante sidney blumenthal. one. emails is memo to clinton that could be a little bit embarrassing for the obama administration. he wrote it in july 2009 after president obama returned from a trip to russia. he had also been previously to germany around let me read you just a section of it. he says that he has talked to a contact who's been in berlin and blumenthal writes, this is the third message i have received from sources about the disasterous nature of the obama trip. this contact told blumenthal that the u.s. is totally out of the loop in berlin. the germans have nobody to talk to and they don't expect to deal seriously with obama's ambassadorial appointment. we should expect germans and russians will cut their own separate deals on energy, regional security and et cetera. those deals will reflect narrow
4:25 pm
parochial economic and political needs indifferent to whether or not we deem them to be in the broader interest of the western alliance. melissa, back to you. melissa: just what you want out there, floating around on email on internet for anyone to see. perfect, peter. thank you. reporter: just ahead of the debate. just ahead of the debate. david: friday night document drop of more hillary emails comes on a day that the "wall street journal" revealed the obama white house around the state department coordinated a strategy in 2015 for downplaying or even stonewalling the story of hillary clinton's use of a private email server when she was secretary of state. is this more grist for sunday's debate? here is bret baier, host of "special report" on fox news. good to see you, bret. first of all on this friday document dump we got today, once again we hear there were classified emails that hillary put on private server.
4:26 pm
looking at 2015 interview, nothing i sent was mark classified or that i received was marked classified. again we get evidence that wasn't true. >> right. david, good afternoon. you had director comey testify there were a few that were actually marked, but frankly it didn't matter whether it was marked or not. in an interview i did with secretary clinton in june i reminded her she signed a paper when she took over as secretary of state, an agreement that, an understanding that anything classified, that she would identified, whether it was marked or not, that it still fell under classification and she, she didn't answer that question. she said she didn't remember signing it. but the bottom line there were classified emails in her server. david: talk about what "the wall street journal" came out today.dea there was
4:27 pm
coordination between the obama white house and state department as soon as this email thing hit the big stage. president obama was always kind of claiming that it was all news to him about the private email server. in fact he was asked on a cbs program when first learned about hillary's private server. here is what he said. >> at the same time everybody else learned it through news reports. david: now, maybe he learned it a little before everybody else did, don't you think? >> well, sure. he was using a pseudonym to email hillary clinton and there is a huma abedin email that says you know, what is the president's pseudonym he is using? they referenced -- david: we're looking at, bret, that was in 2012. three years before he said he first learned about the private server in press reports, three years before that, he was emailing her with a pseudonym on the private server?
4:28 pm
>> yes. the whole thing is very messy, david. and, it just brings a lost frustration to republicans lawmakers up on the hill who believe that the fbi dropped the ball in the way that they handled this investigation. because you're getting more revelations. we're getting more emails. we are getting more evidence that there was some communication not only between the white house and clinton team but, you know, with the investigation on going by the same administration. david: bret baier, host of "special report" and all kinds of programing this weekend, including of course the debate itself on sunday night. bret, great to see you. >> thanks, david. david: melissa. melissa: stay tuned to fox news's new national fox news polls will be released at 6:00 p.m. eastern here on "making money with charles payne." don't want to miss it, we have breaking news. the u.s. government now directly blaming russia for that dnc
4:29 pm
hack, what intelligence agencies are calling quote, an intentional effort to interfear with the u.s. election process. the one where apparently hillary folks were trying to get bernie from the get-go. we'll monitor the story and bring you any developments as we get them. >> matthew's next target. the deadly storm moving north. new details where it is expected to hit. that's next. david: emergency response efforts are underway for millions of people looking for shelter. and the red cross is responding. we'll talk to the red cross next. >> not trying to be negative, but, this is, i would be amazed if any of this is left tomorrow, this water should be up here. >> we have a house under construction. we have a house that is right here on the water. and we kind of said good-bye to it. the pursuit of healthier.
4:30 pm
it begins from the second we're born. because, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned every day. using wellness to keep away illness. and believing a single life can be made better by millions of others.
4:31 pm
as a health services and innovation company optum powers modern healthcare by connecting every part of it. so while the world keeps searching for healthier we're here to make healthier happen.
4:32 pm
4:33 pm
david: breaking news on hurricane matthew. it is slamming florida. water is rising now in the sunshine state with streets turning into rivers. nearly one million people are without power and now the storm is heading north. fox news senior meteorologist janice dean is in the weather center with the latest. we heard from jacksonville where they were looking at the waterway up there at low tide. we're fearful what happens when it is high tide. >> absolutely. that is probably going to be the legacy of the storm because the bulk of really strong winds stayed offshore on its trek across south and central florida but now, because of the arch of
4:34 pm
the coast here and the counterclockwise winds we have storm surge issues. in some cases they will see storm surge they never experienced across north florida, georgia and south carolina. the other remarkable thing is that this is a category 3 storm. still a major hurricane. it has been a major hurricane. it really hasn't lost a lot of intensity for seven days, a full week. the other thing we're worried about is tornadoes, weak tornadoes with these landfalling hurricanes, the possibility for the tornado watch will exist across the southeast coastline. then tornado warned storms. so we'll watch for that. david i want to point out the water is warm, warm enough certainly to support a category 3 storm. maybe even, you know a strengthening over the next couple of hours. we'll have to see what happens with the next advisory that comes out in a little bit before 5:00 p.m. but hurricane warnings still in effect for millions of people all the way up to north carolina, and that storm surge.
4:35 pm
this is the most concerning part of the storm we'll have to watch over the next 24 to 36 hours. all that water is piling up on the shore. the national hurricane center has said this might be their version of sandy, hurricane sandy, just water pile-up inundating flooding where we could see on order of a foot of rainfall in its path. we still have to watch this storm. we have several days to continue to watch the storm and flood advisories up you will and down the coast. we have a and million people without power. close to being onshore through the weekend and into next week, possibly. david: janice dean, thank you for your service this network. we appreciate it. >> of course. david: melissa. melissa: tireless. our own adam shapiro is standing by in daytona beach, florida. adam, what is the scene like where you are now? reporter: well there's, you know, some people are breathing a sigh of relief.
4:36 pm
this was a category 3 storm that stayed offshore and at the worst between 9:00 a.m. and 12 noon there was a great deal of wind, a great deal of rain. in fact look at some video we shot earlier this morning while that was happening. it was enough to blow some trees down. the roofs around here, a lot of them are in bad shape. this is strong enough as happens with category 3, to rip tiles off roofs. we see tiles strewn off the roof. people are cleaning up where we are though it might be a little early for that. there was low level flooding fortunately not high enough to go into people's homes. there were homes destroyed in mobile home park. we talked to people evacuated from a mobile home park called tanglewood. others survived the storm. others the word they keep using devastating. people are breathing a sigh of relief because the storm is well north of daytona beach and port orange. the eye of the storm has gone north.
4:37 pm
it could have been much worse when people were saying, forecasters this could have been a category 4 and predicting a storm surge of any from seven to 11 feet. electricity is still out. almost a million people. florida power and light says they will have electricity from miami to palm beach by end of the day. how long it takes them from palm beach north is another question. melissa: adam, thank you for that. david: bracing for the worst, hurricane matthew forcing millions of people from their homes across florida, georgia, south carolina. there are reports of four dead. the american red cross launching a massive sheltering operation to aid people looking for shelter. joining me by phone, victor a riley, ceo of american red cross north florida region. victoria, jacksonville i heard as many as 90,000 people have been evacuated. how many of those are you taking care of? >> well, here in jacksonville we have a number of shelters that
4:38 pm
are open and we are housing currently just around 5000. at our last shelter count. that number as the weather betting worse, individuals are becoming uncomfortable sheltering in place and still moving into shelters as we speak. david: how long can you shelter them there? some people, may after all, lose their homes? >> correct, here at red cross we'll shelter as long as we need to in order for individuals to start recovery process if there is total loss to their homes. david: jacksonville, many people think just about anywhere in florida they're familiar with hurricanes. jacksonville hasn't had a hit from a hurricane this strong in over 100 years. while others cities have great plans for what happens in a hurricane i imagine jacksonville is not as well-prepared? >> you are exactly right. so as red cross has been prepared but the community at large is, this is a new one for them. they're not used to any type of weather for this. a lot of individuals hesitant to evacuate.
4:39 pm
hesitant to even build the disaster kit for their own home. we're seeing aftermath of that as shelter numbers are really skyrocketing. they have been in the last 12 hours. we believe they will continue to do so. david: the good thing the storm is moving so slowly people have time to prepare or a lot of people do anyway. has that helped? they have seen television reports of it and changed their minds about waiting out the storm? >> yes. absolutely. this morning i was at one of our shelter locations and met a couple who had intended to stay in their own home throughout the storm and this morning, as wind started to pick up, as they were seeing debris flying throughout their neighborhood, they thought, we'll take the time while it is still safe to drive on the road to get the nearest red cross shelter where we were happy to receive them. david: victoria, i was looking at a tide chart. high tide in jacksonville scheduled for 1:00 a.m this is terrible time whether everything is dark.
4:40 pm
lord knows if the power is off, you have trouble seeing. that must be something that scares you. this is flat area. you have all the rivers in addition to the seashore that could overflow? >> we do. we have the st. johns river that really cuts right through the center of jacksonville. we are prepared, all of our shelters are in predetermined locations so they're in no risk of flooding to the best best of ability. high tide we're keep being our eye on and hoping for the best as always. david: our thoughts and prayers, victoria raleigh, we appreciate it. >> devastating news from the haiti, local officials say the death toll has climbed to 842. david: oh, my god. melissa: we're told most of those killed in haiti were in towns and fishing villages around the southwestern coast. they were killed by falling trees and flying debris and swollen rivers. of course hundreds more were injured. wow. david: when will they leave
4:41 pm
haiti, haiti always gets hit with one or the other. melissa: really tough. david: nominees gearing up for the second presidential debate only two days away. howard kurtz sounding off on donald trump and hillary clinton as they prepare to take the stage. >> do you really think that hillary clinton is debate prepping for three or four days? hillary clinton is resting, it o never stops being a student? okay? or is it a lifetime of work that blazes the path to your passions? your personal success takes a financial partner who values it as much as you do. learn more at tiaa.org

analyst and media buzz host and joins me now. we can't even get started on this without me asking about the other story suddenly swirling everywhere about donald trump being caught on a hot mic when he was being interviewed forente ago. the mic belonged to bully bush, entertainment reporter n a shocking turn of events he was apparently caught saying something explicit. i mean, do you see the shock? i can hardly contain my surprise on this one. howard, give me your take on this, as this story breaks? >> you know i had been saying a lot of these old howard stern interviews which trump engages in raunchy locker room talk doesn't make that much difference, people know at time he was intertakenner, people know that aren't for donald trump. this is in part, melissa, donald trump in near record time put out statement of apology which is offended. bill clinton said worse to me.
4:46 pm
what is potentially beyond the crude language, trump who had been married to melania less than a year at time of this tape, he tried to blank a married woman. and he wasn't successful. talking about various body parts. this will inevitably come up in the debate on sunday. melissa: would that come up? i'm hillary clinton i want to bring in you apparently on a hot mic proposition ad much younger woman, talked about propositioning someone else while you were married. what do you have to say about that? how exactly if i'm hillary clinton do i kind of toss that out there? >> well, remember that in the first debate, hillary clinton who, was not sleeping, she was obviously practicing because she did pretty well, brought up alicia machado, miss universe and baited trump into a five-day story on that. brought up the fact trump at various times, various interviews talked about women as
4:47 pm
pigs and dogs this is town hall format, a lot of women will be in the audience. i have to say i was horrified by some of the language you used in, in that tape that surfaced with bully bush. she doesn't have to recite the words with the [bleep]s. she could open herself up if thee goes there to trump saying something about bill clinton. melissa: that would be a trap. that would be the brilliant trap because when he goes back at bill he makes her look like victim. that would be like playing right into their clutches. the flip side of that, howard, here we are, however many days, two days, 4hours ahead of this town hall, that is enough time for the trump people to corner him in a room and force him to practice his response, to this hot potato being thrown out there, no matter how it is couched, no matter what they say about it, you may not respond. bill clinton said this, this, and that when he was married to you. your husband is as you as big a jerk as i am. wait a second, no. that is not a good comeback. don't they have enough time to
4:48 pm
sort of prepare for this to be thrown at him? >> sure. but you say, you will force him to respond in certain way. nobody forces donald trump to do anything in first debate. trump i'm sure will learn lessons from the mistakes in the first debate from the bait he took. melissa: you hope. >> if he doesn't, this election women be close to being over. if he doesn't, he could do better than expected as media like to put it. this latest tape, all over twitter. all over the news. i think adds a certain x-factor what was already going to be a high-stakes faceoff between clinton and trump. melissa: if you want behind the scene politics of it, how long have they had the tape, why did they release it two days before. it could have popped out at debate, would have been worse for him. it is october surprise. we're in october. it could have come out much sooner. there is all of this sort of backstory plots behind all of this. net-net, what is your bet for
4:49 pm
the big, the big debate on sunday night? what would you bet is going to happen, howard, on all of it? >> i think donald trump will do better than the first debate. that may not be saying all that much. whether he does well enough to close this double-digit gap among women and make some progress with other groups where he is hurting is really hard to say. but having not done so well in the first debate, this is really his next to last big opportunity to change the playing field where hillary, it's a tight race but hillary ahead in battleground states. melissa: oy, boy, that is a lot there. make sure you watch howard on media buzz on fox news on sunday at 11:00 a.m. i mean you've got so much political analysis. this will be the run upto the whole thing. wow. might be more than all of us -- and don't forget, people are fighting for their lives in florida while all this is going on. real things going on in the world besides this tape. david: there are real things they could be talking about during the debate than this tape, apparently not. you don't want to miss fox

first and foremost we're thinking of everyone in your state. what is going on with the storm and everyone's homes and lives is of the it mess importance ahead of voter registration. but i want to ask you about that topic as well. it is being extended in your state and not in florida. what do you think of that, and how does it impact the race? >> thank you. our thoughts and prayers with those affected by this storm first and foremost. hard to talk about politics right now, i was happy last night that south carolina decided to extend the registration deadline from tomorrow until tuesday. so many people affected by storm here in south carolina. it was bipartisan decision in south carolina. apparently it is no in the florida. maybe a bit disappointing but i'm not even sure that governor scott had to power to do it unilaterally. we'll see in florida over next couple days. melissa: why do you think he may not have had the power to do that? >> in south carolina our state election commission has the ultimate authority, both sides
4:55 pm
can make the request. i think florida is somewhat similar. but then again, the power of the governor's office is very strong and i'm sure he could have made his opinion, made it in that direction certainly but i'm happy about south carolina. melissa: do you have any sense how many people it would be in the last few days who would be racing to register who obviously don't have internet, can't use roads, the mail is not going to be picked up, all these things where it couldn't happen? what kind of numbers could you think we're talking about either in your state or in florida? >> it is hard to say. but certainly could range from hundreds of people to thousands of people. i know that in south carolina both sides, our side and democrats are racing to beat the deadline in putting forward dozens if not hundreds of registration applications per day. so it could be sizable number. melissa: rightly the last thing on everybody one's mind which makes sense. matt, wee appreciate your time. thoughts and prayers with you and everyone in the state in
