to see. the markets need tax reform to happen. liz: well, the markets have gotten some excitement once again, the 55th record close for the dow jones industrials since election day. oracle earnings up next. let me get it right over to melissa and david for "after the bell." melissa: make it three in a row, the dow at another brand new record high, ending up 53 points, it looks like at this moment, now 22,200 while the s&p and nasdaq are settling in the red. i'm melissa francis. david: and i'm david asman, this is "after the bell." a busy day, another busy day, and a very busy hour for you right here. president trump arriving back at the white house after spending the day in florida touring areas hit hard by hurricane irma, meeting with state and local officials and victims of the storm. now, the president is returning home to criticism from members of his own party. they're unhappy that he's been working with democrats on immigration and taxes, but the

president just saying on air force one that after republican failure on repeal of obamacare, he is forced the work closer with democrats just to get something done. more on what he may or may not have agreed to with chuck schumer and nancy pelosi coming up. also the rich may have to pay for. president trump doubling down, now saying wealthy americans are not his priority when it comes to tax cuts. melissa: the president just making comments aboard air force one on the surge in stocks and says that he respects fed chair janet yellen. the dow closing at another new record high. let's go straight to nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange. nicole, what was the day like down there? >> feels pretty great. we did have that back and forth action. there was a lot of pressure on a lot of parts of the market. as you noticed, we had a mixed close. the russell is lower, but the dow brings it in, third day in a row of records. it was up four days in a row prior to this, up nearly 375

points, and now you can tack on 47 points today. a name like pfizer hit a high on the dow, pfizer and boeing leading the way, they had a lot of good news as well. one name that came under scrutiny today, google, which finished down $10 at 940 and change, and this was all about the news on the lawsuit. there was a lawsuit filed against google. this is all about sex bias. we know there's been an investigation ongoing, and now that they are now being looked at for discrimination. and so with that, that spooked the market a little bit on that one. and google came out with a statement. here's what they had to say. we work really hard to create a great workplace for everyone, to give everyone a chance to thrive here. we'll review this particular lawsuit in detail, but we disagree with the central allegations. so this proposed lawsuit was filed in california, and it did put some pressure on google today. back to you guys. melissa: all right, nicole, thank you. david: fighting for his middle

class base, president trump continuing his bipartisan push for tax reform as he returns to the white house after visiting storm victims in florida. blake burman is live at the white house with the very latest, had kind of an impromptu press conference on air force one. >> reporter: i think about half a dozen times he's stop before the cameras on this day. the main event, no doubt about it though, for the president was going down to southwest florida, naples, fort myers to survey the devastating damage left behind by hurricane irma. he was joined by the first lady, by the vice president as well. it was there in naples in the far, tucked-in southwest corner of the state of florida that he ended up surveying a mobile home park that was absolutely gutted by the major hurricane there, him and the first lady served hot meals as well. along the way throughout the day today as you mentioned, the president has been stopping before the cameras, and at one point he was pressed about the comments that he made yesterday on tax reform in which he suggested that the wealthiest

might indeed end up not getting much of a tax break at all should the president's plan end up going through. and the president today did not back off that suggestion. >> wealthy americans are not my priority. my priority are people in the middle class. and that's where we're giving the big tax reduction to. it's about the middle class, and it's about jobs. >> reporter: meanwhile, the white house is insisting that the president did not cut an official deal with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer last night over dreamers and the dream act. however, the president at multiple points throughout this day laid out what could eventually be a framework for such deal. >> we're working on a plan subject to getting massive border control, we're working on a plan for daca. people want to see that happen. we want to get massive border security, and i think that both nancy pelosi and chuck schumer,

i think they agree with it. >> reporter: hovering over any sort of immigration talks is one of the president's top priority, that being the border wall. when the president left the white house earlier this morning, he said that it would, quote, come later. later in the day though he had a lot tougher talk as it related to the border wall saying, and i quote, that it would be vital, and he insisted at that point and throughout the afternoon that he wants this wall built. david: blake, thank you very much. melissa. melissa: here now is congressman mark walker, republican from north carolina. a republican committee chairman who met with the vice president last night. and i understand you are the large arest conservative caucus -- largest conservative caucus in the house of representatives with more than 150 members. you met with the vice president. what did you guys talk about? >> we talked about what the president's agenda is as well as what we continue to hear back home what the people's agenda is. this is very important that we follow through. the grade on the 115th congress will be revealed over the next

two to three months on how much we accomplish, these two or three goals that we continue to speak on and lay out. melissa: so did the conversation today, you know, when you hear nancy pelosi and chuck schumer talk about how they feel like they've made a deal on daca, did that fly in the face of the conversations you feel like you had last night? >> well, if it was nancy pelosi's version, then yes, it would fly in the face. but we are continuing to follow the president's lead. right now we've been asked to handle tax reform, we've been asked to make sure that people who are suffering under obamacare have some relief. but this third wheel, if you would, the third leg of the stool that's becoming more and more clear these days is border security with some kind of lemm daca fix -- long-term daca fix -- melissa: and is that acceptable to you? >> well, the president did exactly what he was supposed to do. this was an unlawful, unconstitutional act by the former president, obama. we look forward to partnering with him in fixing it. melissa: so does fixing it mean that you would find a way to allow those people to stay or

cosomething related to daca -- or do something related to daca that is compassionate in terms of people who have been in the country for a long time and would also secure some sort of border security whether it's a wall or something that is very wall-like? >> melissa, there is some trending that direction, but i will tell you where the rub may come down is whether citizenship is offered or whether it's legalization. that's going to be a very tough sticking point. but we do want to work something out to make sure we are securing our borders and protecting our citizens for the future. melissa: let me ask you on the tax front how the chatter and conversation has kind of changed. as he said today, he's focused on tax cuts for the middle class, bringing jobs back. it sounds like it's lowering the corporate tax rate, maybe there's something about repatriating dollars and and tying that repatriation to some sort of investment, private investment in infrastructure, that whole package. ing does that sound palatable to you? >> i think it does, and i think

your information is spot on. about 40 or 50 of us met with kevin brady, chairman of the ways and means committee, yesterday amp. and this -- yesterday afternoon. and this tax reform, it's starting to take picture here, come into full view. but i don't know that i disagreed with the president earlier that the primary focus is on the middle class and not those above it. melissa: yeah. and it's starting to sound like it makes a lot of sense, it's very logical, it might create jobs, might have people on both sides of the aisle participating and agreeing. i mean, this -- it's, it blows your mind to think that something like this could actually happen. are we getting too excited, congressman? >> well, before we start singing "kumbaya" together, listen, the president is doing a great job of bringing people together. that's what leaders do. however, with nancy pelosi and mr. schumer, these are political professionals. they're not amateurs who major in pushing progressive policy, so we want to make sure we're thinking about that going

forward. melissa: did you hear the first part of the sentence when you said the president is doing a great job bringing both sides together? this is not something anyone has been saying for months, and all of a sudden -- >> we hope some of our democrat friends will acknowledge that publicly as well. melissa: we'll see. sir, thank you. appreciate your time. david: wow. melissa: i know. david: so the president, no doubt, upsetting some of his wealthiest supporters who were betting on a tax cut, but not everybody who's wealthy is upset with that idea including robert wolf, 32 advisers' ceo, who was not hugely a trump supporter, and scott martin, chief investment officer, both are fox news contributors. so, robert, i know that what the president has been saying about the wealthy versus the middle class and while you may have rate cuts, the rich may end up paying more, that's music to your ears and, frankly, that's what makes a lot of republicans nervous. >> yeah, not necessarily i agree with having to tax the wealthy

to get to where we want to go. i think there's other loopholes you can look at -- david: but you're for lowering deductions and lowering rates at the same time -- >> absolutely. david: at least not raising rates. >> i am for lowering rates -- david: which used to be unusual for a democrat, no, like yourself? >> well, not for middle class. i think we were always for middle class rate cuts. we were more, you know, actually the conservatives were more revenue-neutral, now it seems the democrats are more revenue-neutral. but i align with what the president has said in the last 24 hours, that we have to get the middle tax cuts lower. i've always been for repatriation as was, by the way, president obama. and as melissa said, if we can get the two groups working together and get corporate rates down to under 25%, i think that's good for everyone. david: scott, robert is an example of something that puts to rest the rumor that there are no sensible democrats. i mean, there are sensible democrats with whom the president can work to lower tax rates.

maybe chuck schumer and nancy pelosi won't be among them when push comes to shove, but there are democrats who will jump over to cut taxes, right? >> yeah. i mean, you know what the beauty is about this, david? let's say this actually works out and, oh, my goodness, we get 4 or 5% gdp growth -- david: by the way, do you believe when the president and steve mnuchin say that for every 1% extra in gdp that we have, we could have over a ten-year period a trillion dollars -- >> trillion dollars, yeah, david, we've seen that before. we've seen it in the reagan administration. i'll tell you what's interesting, the democrats coming to the table on this can actually take some credit for reinvigorating the economy. and robert also said something correct, if you reinvigorate small businesses in this country with a lower tax rate, that's going to also help the middle class because they're the -- david: robert said a lot of things that are correct. i'm just wondering what you think about mnuchin's notion for every gdp percentage raise, you

have an extra trillion in government revenue. that could help solve the debt problem. >> listen, i'm a reagan democrat, but i'm not sure i agree with the trickle down economics approach -- david: look what happened in the reagan with years, you had an increase in -- >> even clinton tax cuts. >> i think it's very different today because we're in a much more global economy. david: listen, let's leave on a very optimistic note. i think that's one reason why the market was up again. robert, and scott, great to see you both, thank you. >> see a ya. melissa: breaking news, oracle out with first quarter results, the company up 1% after hours following a beat on both earnings and revenue. company reporting a 7% rise in total quarterly rise in revenue helped from a push to the cloud, up 51% to $1.5 billion. david: okay. the uc-berkeley once again bracing for chaos. we are hours away from the arrival of conservative ben

shapiro. he's at a soldout speech that could take a violent turn like what we saw last month. the antifa people are at it again. police are arming themselves with pepper spray. a live update from the campus. melissa: and former national security adviser susan rice reportedly admitting to house investigators she unmasked senior trump officials names but didn't leak them. the president just weighed in on this one onboard air force one. and judge andrew napolitano says what she may have admitted to is still a felony. he's going to join us. david: and 13,000 people still living in shelters in florida. the president getting another firsthand look. we are on the ground in naples for more on how people are faring and how the administration is handling it all. ♪ >> i want to thank the prime minister and the vice president. what i -- the president and the vice president. what i can tell you is they were always accessible. they made quick decisions, they surrounded themselves with outstanding people, they were

air force one, but he said that it's possible that the keys or at least part of the keys was hit by hurricane, a five-category hurricane. so it was the hardest hit of all. parts of it just completely leveled. what's the latest on the keys? >> well, first and foremost, thank you all as much for continuing to really put some faces to the stories that are coming out of the florida keys. david: all we can. >> the people in monroe -- yeah. it's been incredible, and the outpouring of support across the nation has just been wonderful. what we've seen so far, i had an opportunity early on tuesday, so just after the storm, to fly over and to actually touch down on key west with the united states coast guard and to see how this is a way where government is actually working very well together starting at the local level, the municipalities and the county of monroe are all working very closely together to make sure that they can get people back in as quickly as possible.

the state, of course, has played a very large role, but the federal government really has done just an amazing job. to think that just under two days after this category five storm hit, that an aircraft carrier was just off the coast of key west being able to provide supplies, food, water and infrastructure, it's really been a good sign of the way that sometimes government because actually work. david: and, you know, it wasn't included in my notes, i don't even know if you're republican or democrat, but a lot of democrats have been saying the same thing about the way the president has been working with local and state officials. of course, you have a republican governor, but you have a lot of democratic state officials. everybody is putting policy differences aside and working together on this, right? >> yeah, absolutely. when i went over with the coast guard, i went with both florida senators, one a republican, marco rubio, and, of course, and bill nelson, a democrat. i myself am a republican, but we represent people that are republican, democrat,

independent, and this was a storm that didn't discriminate, of course. and so what we want to work on is, you know, step one is making sure that it is safe for people to get back into their homes and get back into -- david: by the way, before -- let me just interrupt if i can for a moment, excuse me for doing so. a lot of people outside of the state who have winter properties in florida want to come back and check on those properties. when do you think it would be safe for them to do so? >> yeah, that's a great question. so so far monroe county officials have said that if you own or live of in a property that's up until mile marker 70, the florida keys is a small town in some places, so that's the way that we say our roads are by mile markers, so if you're in key largo us la mirada, it's clear for you to get back in. south, the areas that have been hardest hit, cudjoe key, sugar

loaf key, big pine, key west, the reason why it's not safe to get back yet is really a water issue. the roads have been cleared -- david: right. >> the state department of transportation has done a great job, but there's still some challenges when it comes to running water. and so that's why residents have not been able to come back in yet. but i know the folks are all working around the clock -- david: that's a herculean task, is it not? because the aqueduct between miami and the bottom of the keys is full of holes now because of the storm, right? >> absolutely. especially that lower half. there are some holes in the aqueduct. now, the good news is that some folks in the lower keys actually have been able to get some running water. so they're testing it out for those residents who stayed behind, those incredible, resilient residents that did. and so we're hoping to be able to get the go ahead in the next day or two to be able to go back in. david: wow. >> for those that are watching that, you know, we know you're

worried about your home, i can tell you i've been in constant contact with the local authorities. the sheriff has a assured us that looting is virtually nonexistent. david: great. >> you know, they haven't had any arrests at all, so that's some really great news. people are concerned about their businesses as well. could the commercial fishing industry, so those of us across the country get to enjoy florida lobster, stone crab, it comes from down there. people are really anxious to be able to get a back and check out to see what of their business they can salvage. david: senator flores, we wish you the very best. please stay in touch. we'd like to be updated as often as possible. thank you very much. melissa: another clinton scandal emerging, if you can believe it. newly-discovered e-mails could mean big trouble for hillary clinton again. judge andrew napolitano is here to break it all down for us. plus, north korea making a vicious threat against japan. how seriously should we be taking this, and should we be worried? ♪ ♪

. melissa: if you thought the hillary clinton e-mail scandal was over, think again. newly discovered e-mails are revealing that people at the clinton foundation requested and received favors from the state department according to judicial watch. here now is judge andrew napolitano, fox news senior judicial analyst. so what did you see in the e-mails? >> judicial watch is a watchdog that sued the state department and received yesterday and today, a large cache of e-mails which the state department had never surrendered before, either to the federal judge supervising these lawsuits -- melissa: wait, how is that possible? >> well, we don't know the answer to that. we know mrs. clinton swore three times under oath, under oath, she surrendered all e-mails back to the state department. either she didn't or couldn't because they were destroyed or

she thought they were destroyed and deleted, but somehow, this is a new cache of e-mails and they're in two categories. one is we gave -- here are e-mails from somebody that gave money to the clinton foundation. somebody in the state department, huma abedin says dear mrs. clinton, here are people who gave money to the clinton foundation and they want favors and can you do it? and the favors are done. that is the use of governmental authority doing the favors to benefit people who contributed money to now her but then her husband's foundation. melissa: they are going to say because we've been over the territory, the fact they gave money, the foundation, has nothing to do with the fact they asked for a favor and maybe should have granted that favor anyway. for example, you have terry duffy at the cme and paid a huge speech fee, $225,000 because she's such a dynamic and fabulous speaker, and duffy gave the clinton foundation or

the clinton presidential campaign $4600 and in exchange in an e-mail, he is asking for an introduction to the prime minister of singapore, and he helped with posts over there, that sort of thing. how do you know it's connected? >> i don't know. and you're right, they'll make that argument. if i were the federal judge in the case, if she were indicted, the judge will tell the jury, the defense they would have done it anyway is not a defense to the allegation of bribery. on the other hand, the government asked to show that her motivation was not to be a good secretary of state but to reward people who had -- melissa: how do you do that? how do you show that's the motivation. >> very difficult to show motivation, you show it by what's said to people around her, e-mails, many of which have been destroyed. or you indict the recipient of the favor and then you negotiate with that recipient. what did you really get out of

this? melissa: it looks so obvious but i feel we've been down the road. other big topic, the unmasking, former national security adviser susan rice reportedly telling investigators she unmasked the identities of senior trump officials to determine why the crown prince of the united arab emirates visited new york last year? president trump responding to fox news, john roberts, moments ago, here's what he said. reporter: what i'm wondering, mr. president, susan rice said she did unmask officials in your campaign -- >> not supposed to be doing that. she's not supposed to be doing that, and what she did was wrong and we've been saying. that that's the tip of the iceberg. what she did was wrong. you know it. the unmasking and the surveillance, and i heard she admitted that yesterday. it's not right. melissa: let me be devil's advocate, if you have the crown prince of the uae, coming to the white house, you want to see who they're meeting with,

unmasked it to see what he's doing? >> this is six weeks before the principal occupant of trump tower about to become the president of the united states. can the obama administration spy on its successors before successors are in office? full disclosure, as you know, i was involved in controversial statements about spying on trump. as you may also know, i was present in trump tower during december at his request to discuss with him what eventually became the nomination of justice gorsuch, the supreme court, i don't know if i was unmasked in there and honestly don't care. but if susan rice unmasked, that is learned the true identified people who were communicating in there, and passed that onto others who didn't have national security clearances like the "washington post," that would be a felony. here's what we know, we know that within two days of this unmasking, a transcript of the telephone conversation between

general flynn and ambassador kislyak showed up in the "washington post." that's what started all. this let's not bury the lead. the real lead is every word spoken in trump tower during that era was being captured by intelligence agencies, whether american or not, and susan rice knew that and took advantage of it. melissa: you're right. sir, thank you, judge, love having you on. >> pleasure, lady in red. david: america number six, that's what you were called in transcripts? american number six? >> i have not seen any transcripts that i can identify as being of me. david: russia's war games, why the name the kremlin has given to a week of combat exercises in belarus is making some of western europe very nervous. melissa: trying to make progress in our nation's capitol, how president trump is reaching across the aisle to make sure his agenda passes congress?

like this before, only to find out his base follows him closely. with us, bob cusack, editor in chief of the hill. i can't count the number of times the president reported on the wedge growing between the president's base and polls out a week later and guess what, base is still with him. is it going to happen again? >> i agree with you. most of the base are with him, one issue of voters and voted for him because of immigration. by and large, trump's base has stood by him, i think this is trump being trump. he's not been getting a lot of stuff done with republicans, so he's mixing it up, as he's done in the business world. david: wants to get things done. by the way, one of the pieces of evidence the media is putting forth about the growing friendship between people like chuck schumer and the president is a sound bite, supposedly a candid sound bite of chuck schumer, let's take a listen

and get your response. >> here's what i told the president. if you have to step in one direction, you're boxed . david: now i think that was a setup. i think chuck schumer knew somebody was recording it. for chuck schumer to say we're always going to work it out. chuck schumer very rarely works it out with republicans. i don't know, what do you think of that? >> a pretty good theory, chuck schumer knows where the cameras are and the mics are, i think that's right. schumer a deal maker, he wants to get things done, and remember, schumer and trump go back a long time. they know each other and they get along. david: one thing is true, and you spoke about this before is he is not. president trump is not content with the progress of republicans, whether it's obamacare or tax cuts.

we got word from kevin brady's office, he does not expect the tax plan to be specific about corporate individual tax rates. come on! we've had a plan put forth back in april by mnuchin and cohn in the white house. they've had years to work in a tax plan and it's not going to be specific? >> republican members are frustrated with leadership. they are saying the same thing. hey, we want to see it. remember, to pass tax reform they have to pass a budget, they should have done months ago and need to see the details. i think they're going to have to release the plan, have a message and go for it. david: bob cusack, a man who is very happy with the political news breaking every day, editor in chief of the hill. good to see you, thank you. >> thank you very much. melissa: bracing for violent protests, unprecedented measures at the university of california berkeleys at campus is ramping up security ahead of a speech by prominent conservative later this

greet one conservative speaker here on campus. in fact, there is so much concern that some teachers canceled classes today, and the school is also offering counseling for students or faculty who may feel traumatized by having a polarizing figure on campus. the counseling is available for everyone whether they're liberal or conservative. melissa: right, i was going to say uc berkeley, they love the counseling at the uc berkeley. there have been violent protests at berkeley before, though. it's not like this is the first time. >> well, in fact, there was a very violent protest here in february when then-breitbart editor milo yiannopoulos was invited to speak, and we have the antifa smashing windows and torching police equipment as well, and forcing the administration to cancel that speech. obviously, they are hoping to avoid a repeat of that today, and conservative students are calling on the administration to use tonight's event and the

possibility of more violence to stand up to the thugs and officials say they will. listen. melissa: nope, claudia, thank you, i think we have no sound bites. whole sound bite machine is not working for us, let's not ask it to do anything else. we love having you. reporter: we'll be here all night. melissa: i'm sure we'll get it fired up and working again. we have to hit the grinder and get it going. it will be fine, thank you. david: just to make it clear, chuck schumer is not a part of one side or the other. melissa: he had nothing to do with that. david: threatening to reduce the united states to quote ashes and darkness. how the white house intends to respond to the latest threat from north korea, getting worse and worse, if can you believe it. that's next. just like the people who own them, every business is different. but every one of those businesses will need legal help as they age and grow. whether it be with customer contracts,

and blast the u.s. into, quote, into ashes and darkness. as reports reveal the rogue regime's september 3rd nuclear test may have been more powerful than previously thought with satellite images showing increased activity at the testing site, possibly another detonation is in the works. here to comment is peter brookes, heritage foundation senior fellow. i hear the north korean experts, one guy in particular, andre saying the progress of beth the missile and the nuclear program in the north koreans, how can that be? >> well, because it's very difficult to know what's going on inside north korea. it's a very tough intelligence target, and david this has been going on many years, following north korea many years and when i was on the hill there was the rumsfeld commission in the late 90s that looked at this and turns out because we have imperfect knowledge that it's often the countries able to move along faster than we

expect they would. david: peter, based on that, based on what we now know they are capable of and how badly we were prognosticating how quickly they could do things, when will they be able to put a nuclear weapon on top of a missile and hit a target in, say, japan? >> i think they can already do that. you know, public -- yeah, i think they can already do, that david. there's questions about longer distance flight because of the tremendous g-forces and vibrations and temperatures that a warhead has to withstand for -- over great distances, a warhead, icbm warhead in terminal phase is moving 15,000 miles per hour. so that's the challenge. there is accuracy issues. japan is close, guam, hawaii, alaska, the continental united states is far away, it's much more difficult. the reliability of the missiles and warheads are big questions but have to assume the worst. david: that's bad news. meanwhile, russia is kicking

off a week of war games with belarus, many in the region are worried rememberingly that the russian invasion of crimea actually started as a war exercise. peter, first of all, do we know how many troops are involved here? a lot of misreporting on this. >> very interesting. russia is saying it's about 12,500, 12,700 which is interesting because under international agreement, they're required to allow observers if they exceed 13,000, they're staying below the number. pentagon and others think it's 100,000 russian and belorussian troops. we are watching it closely with intelligence assets, but the russians are not quite straight with us. david: you look at map there and see the people worried are on the west side of that map, of course, these are former eastern european country or countries under the soviet orbit. name of the exercise is called

zapad 17, that means west 2017. that has the folks more worried. >> sure, the russians basically break up the exercise by the geographical area, zapad is every four years, this comes up in belarus, russia, poland, lithuania, the baltic states are nervous. you pointed out what happened in 2014 with crimea but also back in 2008, the russians had large exercises that led to the intervention in georgia. david: time for yes and no. for all the talk about trump and russia, i'm thinking that the russians would feel a lot more comfortable with the president hillary clinton than president trump after what he did with the missiles in syria. what do you think? >> well, you know, i think president trump has been tough on russia. not lifted the sanctions and i think russia policy is moving in the right direction. david: peter brooks from heritage, good to see you,

terrible. have you some areas where you have -- the people across the street they have it, and you don't, and at night when you are traveling, you know, the stop signs, the flashlights, i mean the traffic lights, the street lights, everything is like out, and the police officers have been great to make sure that looters don't take over, but still, we are a society that we love our central air-conditioning and when we don't have it, we jump into the pool at 4:00 a.m. like i have the last fewer days. melissa: wow, one thing in the immediate aftermath have you patience as things go on, but i know so many people have gotten power back that for those who don't have it, it's really getting to be very frustrating, tough times, and obviously people in the keys who are facing more dire circumstances, but that doesn't make it any easier for you, right? >> no, not at all, not at all. but the good thing is that the roadways have been a priority.

that's been a good thing, and the fact that schools still aren't back, so the shopping malls are in full force, the supermarkets which is great, water, ice, we still are a little low on supplies but gasoline stations are opening up and that really helps, it does. melissa: what would you like to tell the rest of the country? what could people be doing to help? i know the president was down there today and he's trying to direct more relief efforts your way. what would you say? >> um, i would say -- you know, with regards to that, i think that things are starting to get a little better with regards to, like i said, priority being gasoline and water. once you have gasoline and street lights and stuff start to get better, i think people are a little more patient, people have generators to begin with, so now it's a matter of being patient, but the temperatures have been awful lately. melissa: well, we're thinking of you, and we send out our prayers and we hope that things

improve more quickly, thank you for coming on, thank you, stay in touch. >> thank you, take care. david: we're going to change things up a little bit. melissa and the brit. sounds like a new sitcom. we've got the video what caused my co-anchor to storm onto the "varney & co." set earlier today. you don't want to miss this.
