>> sure. and not only that, what i expect is what's gone on all the time. there's interesting, good information out there that you never will see on nbc, cbs or around -- abc. elizabeth: congressman van drew, thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth macdonald, you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. thanks for joining us and watch again tomorrow night. ♪ ♪ kennedy: a state cut in half like a buzz saw, florida bracing for the potential of hundreds of fatalities as search and rescue teams comb through miles of hurricane damage, and now ian is back to a category one storm on a collision course with south carolina. i'm jackie deangelis in for kennedy tonight. good evening, everybody. the destruction on florida's gulf coast almost hard to comprehend. this is from fort myers. entire neighborhoods torn apart block after block, everything is gone. restaurants and businesses absolutely crushed.

debris as far as the eye can see. drone footage tells a similar story. the storm surge decimating areas right on the beach. you can see the sand now covering parts of the road. we also have widespread flooding from the gulf to the atlantic. ian brought a staggering amount of rain, in some cases nearly 2 feet in one day. and because florida is flat, les often nowhere for water to go. today governor ron desantis and president biden talked about the scope of the destruction. >> the amount of water that's been rising and will likely continue to rise today even as the storm is passing is basically a 500-year flood event. this storm is having broad impacts across the state, and some of the flooding you're going to see in areas hundreds of miles from where this made landfall if are going to set records. >> this could be the deadliest hurricane in florida's history. the numbers of, are still unclear, but we're hearing early reports of what may be substantial loss of life.

jackie: and while florida is now in the rearview mirror, charleston could be next to take a direct hit. we're going to have more on the forecast later in the hour. but first, with more on the damage and the rescue operations, fox weather multimedia journalist will nunley in cape coral, florida. will. >> reporter: yeah, jackie, yesterday was about the, you know, getting through the storm, dealing with the chaos of the moment. today has been all about coming face to face with what's left behind. and let me show you what the storm has done to where i'm standing here on cape coral. i'm on the southernmost part of cape coral. this is a home where a man evacuated about 3-4 hours before the storm really hit. he said he had the sense to get out of the way, and if he came back home to just, you know, to discover this today. and he says for years they've been talking about the big one, the big storm that would cause a situation like this, fearing it. and it seems by all indications

that big storm has come, and it has left a remarkable trail of damage. we're talking about a considerable loss of life tonight and an overwhelming loss of property. the video that we have that our teams have been out working today here on cape coral and really points all along southwest florida show this remarkable trail of damage. this is still a very active search and rescue operation. there are helicopters coming in and out of here constantly with the coast guard as they're trying to go to some of these islands where people earlier today with were waiting to be rescued. you also have rescue crews going up to structures like the ones behind me that approach these homes wanting to find out if anyone was inside. you can imagine having to go street by street through these devastated areas and do that crucial work of trying to reach people in times like this. what's making it harder is the fact that the storm surge washed out several roads and bridges, so the infrastructure's taken a major hit here. the electricity is out far

reaching between here and fort myers. it took the us about two hours to get here from fort myers, and it should really only take about 30 minutes in normal time. that's because all of the traffic lights are out. so challenges upon challenges to get to people who need help here in this remarkable situation. and, you know, of course the news tonight that this has strengthened once again to a hurricane with its sights set on georgia and south carolina, just incredible. jackie: will, you're talking about the travel time you experienced because of all of the catastrophes in the road in your way, state officials in florida telling people that evacuated, listen, don't come back right now even if the temptation is to come and see what the damage is, what the destruction is. we need to get the first responders in, we need to get the repair crews in. is that actually happening? >> reporter: absolutely. and here's what they're up against for people who are trying to get back. and, of course, we all understand the urgency of trying to do that, but the roads are congested. the traffic is not moving because of everything i was outlining a minute ago, the

infrastructure is down. there are no gas stations operating close to us. there are no hotels available. the people who were evacuating and in hotels are now running into the situation where there's no running water, no electricity, so the hotels are having to force people out. so this is still a growing, desperate situation which happens in these hours and days after a large scale disaster like this. and and the best advice is if you're in a safe location and you can stay there for a few days, do that before you come back, because it's going to be more of a headache to try and get back here. jackie: will none -- will nunley, thank you for that excellent reporting. a huge tourist destination, orlando, a family from arkansas rode oat out the storm at disney. watch this. >> so we're making it so far. we've got one more full day, hope friday, only -- stuck here in the hotel room before we can venture out again. it's really windy. we went outside a few times, i

stuck my head out a little while ago, and service just really windy. can't see as much rain where we're at. we luckily, again, are on an inside, kind of in an alcove. we're not getting direct wind and rain right at our room, so we're really lucky not to have that worry. jackie: disney claims it will start reopening tomorrow, but all day it's been terrorizing florida's northeast coast from cape canaveral up to the georgia line. but as the area prepares for nightfall, how does it rook on the ground? -- look on the ground? joining us live from st. augustine, florida, fox weather multimedia journalist katie byrne. >> reporter: hi, jackie, ian is now setting its sights on the east coast of florida, impacting st. augustine for most of the day, outer bands of rain to this area. we've been dealing with strong, gusting winds. you might be able to see and hear the wind around me right now. and also some rain that just won't quit. at times the street behind me,

this intersection completely flooded with water about 4 feet high because we've been watching water crash over this seawall behind me and flood this area, the downtown area where you'll find businesses boarded up with sandbags in front of their windows and doors. now, we've noticed some boats out in the distance here that seem to have gotten loose from where they were initially tied up. we've been talking to police in this area who say they've had dozens of search and rescues already are. that's either people who got trapped in their homes and were surrounded by water, needed help, called officials to help them get free from that or people who were sightseeing earlier in the day and tried to walk through some of those flooded desperates -- streets, got struck because they didn't realize the strength of currents. officials here are asking people to stay out of town, stay home and not sight see right now because the streetlights are out. and that's why you're seeing a lot of cars behind me, because people are seeing the damage now

that the water has receded. we have another high tide coming in a few hours. they think we'll likely see the same amount of flooding that we saw earlier today. this as ian is now heading towards jacksonville before it heads towards the carolinas and georgia. jackie? jackie: katie, i reported on hurricane irma in 2017, and in many ways when you're in florida in a situation like this, the east and the west coast seem almost like different countries depending on where the storm actually hits. having said that, west coast took it really hard. you're experiencing on the east side potential more flooding and flooding earlier today. what's the morale on the ground there? are people relieved in some sense that they missed the worst of it? >> reporter: i think people in this area, especially st. augustine, are pretty used to flooding. but they do say that this storm in particular stands out because the last time they had storm surge of this size, actually, this storm surge exceeded the last time they had it during hurricane matthew in 2016.

so noticeable for people who live here, and that's why you're seeing so many people come check out what the water looks like, at times checking out what the flooding looks like, at times getting stuck in that flooding -- [laughter] and some of them are having fun right now, but i'm sure they won't be out later when the water is flooding these streets. jackie: that storm surge can be absolutely terrifying to watch. katie, thank you so much. thanks for that report. we're going to have much more on hurricane ian including its effect on the supply chain crisis and gas prices. plus, are we heading for another government shutdown? the house has until midnight friday to pass a temporary budget, but are they just kicking the can down the road? i'll ask virginia republican congressman ben kline next. ♪ ♪ t with chase freedom unlimited. so, it's not a problem at all. you guys aren't gonna give me the fake bill fight? c'mon, kev. you're earning 3% cash back. humor me. where is my wallet? i am paying. where is my wallet?

jackie: welcome back, everybody. the clock is ticking toward tomorrow's midnight deadline to avoid yet another government shutdown. the senate earlier today passed the spending bill and printed it to the house for a vote, but the bill only provides funding until december 16th. it doesn't include aid for hurricane ian recovery, but it does include over $12 billion in aid to ukraine. the house is poised to vote on the bill tomorrow before the deadline, but the next time this will come up will be after the

midterms. it could be a lot messier then. who's to blame? joining me tonight, virginia republican congressman on the house budget and appropriations committees, ben kline. congressman, great to have you tonight. dig into this. if the house does pass this resolution to take us to december 16th, it really is just a band-aid, a temporary solution to a much larger problem. we've done so many times before, kicking the can down the road. why can't we really resolve the issue once and for all? >> well, part of the problem is that the chem9 accurates continue -- democrats continue to spend recklessly. it's caused the inflation that we're seeing right now. it's hitting families at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and we need energy if independence to restore those price, those lower price levels that we enjoyed under the trump administration. but we also is some responsibility too as republicans. you know, 25 republicans voted against this continuing resolution that only went until after the midterms so that then they can load up an omnibus bill

while they still have power on the way out the door. but 25 republicans in the senate voted for this bill. we should use the power of the purse or at least make sure that when a bill passes like the continuing resolution that's passing did pass, it doesn't just throw money at problems, it actually works to solve them. jackie: well, that's the issue, right? that's the biggest issue with this administration that's spent over $4 trillion in the last 19 months. many people are saying the money is going to all the wrong places, it's completely mismanaged, we didn't immediate to spend that much. and there are a lot of people up in arm arms saying $12 billion more to ukraine when florida is in a disaster state right now and essentially, you know, funds certainly need to go down will to rep with the recovery efforts. it's sort of like a big question of where are our priorities as a country? >> well, we know where nancy pelosi's priorities are, and they're not with the people of this country. they're with the special interests and the big dollar

donors who are funding their efforts to just cling to control. so they're rewarding their donors through the inflation reduction act which doesn't reduce inflation and actually, now they're trying to force an omnibus after the election where they will pile if on so many special provisions, it will make your head stint spin. so we were trying, the freedom caucus of which i'm a member, we were trying to kick this until january when, hopefully, republicans will have control of the house and the senate, and we can actually start to govern conservatively. you know, we're on the campaign trail talking to voters about what they want. they want us to address the inflation crisis, the border crisis, the crime in our cities, the election security, so many problems that we're facing right now. we've got to get started. republicans need to gain the majority many november and get to governing in january. jackie: i think you're absolutely right. of course, economy is front front and center for so many

people who will go and cast a vote in the midterm elections. but this inflation mess that we're in at this point in time, you've got the fed raising rates trying to undo what the administration has done as a result of its reckless spending, and yet they just keep spending more and more, as much as they can until the power is going to be taken away. and really that is the question. if the republicans do regain control of the house and the senate, how do they unwind the damage that's been done? >> we can start by restoring our energy independence. if we begin to explore domestically again, you know, biden has put a hold on new leases for exploration domestically. if we can begin to produce, it will help bring down costs of oil, natural gas, other energy costs, and that will flow through, you know, farmers rely on these energy costs for input costs. we have machines that run in industries, in factories that require this energy. so by lowering the cost of

energy, we'll be able to have an effect on our prices across the board. and that will happen very quickly because energy is largely a futures market. jackie: yeah. >> so we hope to do that as soon as possible in january. but, you know, i have people on the campaign trail tell me we don't even know if as a country we can make it to november, we're spending so much so fast, and inflation is just running away so rampantly. jackie: yeah. you brought up the so-called inflation reduction act, it really was a climate and health care bill. and the climate portion of it doubling down on the destruction of fossil fuels in this country. so the midterms can't get here soon enough, sir. congressman c li ne, good to see you. >> thanks. jackie: a live report on ian's path, officials still warning of dangerous storm surge and winds. we're going to bring you the latest. plus, georgia governor brian kemp already declaring a state of emergency. is the statement prepared for the storm? republican congressman buddy

jackie: we are back with more on hurricane ian. experts say it could go down as one of the most destructive storms in u.s. history. between the wind, the storm surge and the rain, the damage has been catastrophic if even for a state that's used to hurricanes. the death toll still not known, and the recovery could take the years, but ian is not done with us. it hit florida as a category four, then it degraded to a tropical storm. but now that it's in the atlantic, it's once again gaining strength. fox weather meteorologist nick kosir has the latest for us. >> reporter: yeah, you're absolutely right. it's been a nightmare, ian, for the whole state of florida for about a day now. it did weaken into a tropical storm, but it's back to category one status in the atlantic, and in its wake you can see all of these power outages, the highest of which showing up right around fort myers where it made landfall yesterday and right

around daytona beach where some of the highest rainfall totals showed up, some 28 inches of rain there since yesterday. so here we are, ian is right offshore of daytona beach, and you can see the swirl around it. a ton of rain with this, and now anywhere from jacksonville to charleston, to myrtle beach, heck, even the outer banks in north carolina will be feeling the impacts of the storm as we head into tonight and tomorrow. all these colors you're seeing are all wind-related, right? so hurricane warnings set up for myrtle beach, charleston and savannah where they could see 75 mile-per-hour or higher wind gusts as we go with through the next few days. and then everybody in red under a tropical storm warning, that's 40 mile-per-hour wind gusts or higher. and look at how far inland that extends, augusta, georgia, charlotte, north carolina, winston-salem. a lot of the state of north carolina really going to see big impacts from ian as it makes its

second u.s. landfall here. you can see how big this wind field is, and we're talking about another landfall maybe somewhere in between charleston or myrtle beach tomorrow afternoon around noon or one or two eastern. that's a problem. obviously, this storm is going to bulldoze huge storm surge into this area right here. and on top of that, we anticipate high tide to be coinciding with landfall. in the gulf high tide really isn't that much of a difference in the sea level, we're talking about at foot or two. but here on the eastern seaboard the difference between low tide and high tide can be 7 feet. so at high tide the water's already going to be up to 7 feet, and then we're talking about possibly 7 more feet of water on top of that. so places that typically easily flood like charleston really could see an impact from this storm as it makes it way towards the coastline, again, tomorrow right around lunchtime, one or

2:00. so the storm surge is going to be an issue, also the wind. and then on top of that, it's the rain. fresh water flooding way inland is certainly possible here as you can see columbia, most of the state of north carolina and a large chunk of virginia possibly seeing at the very least 3 inches of rain if not 5-8 inches. and i know that pales in comparison to the 28 that i just mentioned that fell in the daytona beach area, but this landscape is totally different. over here you've got the blue ridge mountains, so when you're talking about a terrain that has hills and mountains, that changes things. landslides and mudslides and soil that doesn't absorb water quite as well as sand, it's a totally different ball game. so i think flooding will be a pretty huge concern as well. just going to over the track once again, it made landfall, ian, as a category four storm yesterday, weakening to a tropical storm and now we are

still at category one status with 75 mile-per-hour winds. this is moving northeast at 10 and eventually this is going to make its turn towards the south ian coastline here as we -- southeastern coastline into the rest of tonight and into tomorrow. jackie: nick, real quick, georgia and carolinas in the wake of this storm is, but do any remnants come up the east coast? >> reporter: yeah, that's certainly a good possibility. we'll see how strong this stays is once it moves sheer, but a lot of people -- ashore. but a lot of people are watching this closely. they want to know the same thing, and it all depends on what happens upon and right after landfall. obviously here on fox weather we're going to be keeping close eye on that, so make sure you download the app, and you can stream us 24/7 anytime, anywhere. jackie: absolutely. nick kosir, thank you so much. and as you just heard, the next states to get a taste of ian, south carolina and georgia. officials in both places

sounding the alarm on potentially deadly storm surge and extremely heavy rain. georgia governor brian kemp has declared a state of emergency. is the peach state ready for this? with me now, georgia republican congressman buddy carter. congressman, good to see you. that is the million dollar question. it is so difficult to prepare for these storms. i think florida did the best job that it could. governor kemp declaring a state of emergency, is georgia ready? >> listen, this is not our first rodeo. we've been through this before and, yeah, people know what to do. we have to take it seriously. it looks as if charleston and south carolina's going to take the brunt of this, but still, we're going to be impacted in georgia, in coastal georgia. we've already been impacted with some flooding down in camden county at that florida state line. and we're probably going to experience heavy rains and storm surge, and that is of concern because it is a low-lying area. and we do have high shifts in our, in our tides.

so, yeah, you can expect anywhere from a 4-7 foot shift when you have high tide to low tide. and when you add to that, then, of course, it makes it even worse. but i applaud governor kemp, he's shown great leadership in going ahead and declaring the state of emergency. people are preparing. we know that what we have to do checking on family, checking on friends, checking on our pets, making sure we have go kits with water and food and flashlights and all of those things. jackie: congressman, you're on the house energy and commerce committee, so i just want to ask you about the situation with respect to energy, right? obviously, supplies are going to be needed in florida. this is the kind of thing that we keep the spr for, emergencies within the country as a result of a natural disaster. if the situation worse withens in georgia, in the carolinas and all of a sudden we find ourselves needing more supplies than anticipated when the administration and the president has allocated those supplies, essentially, to just bring the

price of gas down as a result of high inflation, your thoughts on where we stand as a country going into this. >> well, that's a great point. and that's what the the reserves are for, for emergency situations, not to the to bring down the price of gas so that you can bring down inflation which is what the biden administration has used it for. now we find ourselves in a situation where perhaps if we are going to need it. and, you know, another thing, i just had a round table with emergency personnel a couple of weeks ago. and there are a lot of things to consider here. you know, when people from florida evacuate, they come through south georgia. the more electric vehicles we get, the more charging stations we're going to need. we don't have a lot of charging stations in rural georgia. so these are the kind of things that this administration is not thinking about and that is going to put us in an awkward situation and really going to jeopardize people and and their safety. jackie: yeah. they really just want to kind of

flip a switch want to electric vehicles. we know people had trouble using their vehicles to evacuate, they didn't have enough power. when the batteries get wet, they have problems as well. we're just not there yet with the technology to do what president biden wants to do tomorrow. >> and that's what's happened. you know, i had the opportunity to travel to europe and see their experience and what they've done over there is that their policies have gotten ahead of their technology. and that's what we need to guard against here. we don't need to let our policies get ahead of our technology. but if that does happen, then we're going to see the same kind of ill effects that europe's going to experience and have been experiencing, and this winter in europe is really going to be a tough, tough situation. jackie: congressman, in georgia right now with respect to food, water, shelter, all the kinds of supplies that folks will need as the storm the approaches, do you feel that, you know, the state is in good shape? >> i do. we've been in touch with the georgia emergency management

agency as well as fema. we've got information. anyone who needs help can call our office, to to our web site, buddy carter.house.gov and get information will. we certainly feel like we're as prepared as we can be. jackie: congressman carter, good to see you tonight. good luck, thank you. >> thank you. jackie: the power is out for just under 2 million customers in florida, and they could be dark for weeks. what's worse, supply chain issues could delay the recovery. trade groups say there's a nationwide shortage of critical electrical equipment and wait times to get it as high as three years. they also need new lumber, concrete, shingles, gutters, paint, at fault, you name it -- asphalt. how hard is it going to be able to get this stuff? joining me now, supply chain expert, founder and ceo of ready link bindia vakill. supply chain has been -- >> great to be here. jackie: -- a problem as a result of the pandemic and biden administration policies.

people are suffering across the country as a result of this. so i can only imagine how this is going to exacerbate the situation when a state is like florida is in a national emergency. >> absolutely. and a state like florida which has more than 4,000 sites mapped many our database, these sites are critical to supply chain with manufacturing, logistics, distribution. you know, more than 70,000 parts are mapped to these sites. these parts are frequently used in a wide range of applications across high-tech, automotive, industrial. you mentioned construction already but also pharmaceutical and health care applications. so this is a very wide-raking impact -- can wide-ranging impact. and speak i have -- sp specifically because of power outages, factories need power, so even if the power gets restored, this has already caused a major supply chain

disruption are. jackie: and you bring up a great point, right? it will be difficult to get supplies down to florida where they need to go, but also there are manufacturing facilities there that other companies rely on to create products and distribute them as well. so what should companies be doing that were not hit by the storm operating in another state but say your supplier is in florida? >> yeah, you know, it is really interesting, most companies don't really map their supply chain properly. they don't really know where their parts are coming from which could be the warehouse they've placed their orders, but beyond that there's a whole supply chain. and companies that do not know what that supply chain looks like right now, they are scrambling. in some cases they might find out two weeks later that a crit see with our customers is these companies are mapping their supply chain. and even before hurricane season began, our customers were moving

supplies out of hurricane regions proactively so that when situations like these happen, he was some level of protection. jackie: sure. >> they have inventory sitting outside hurricane region ready to be deployed. now, obviously, there are issues air travel. this does affect cargo, so there is definitely impact that is going to be felt across the board. but companies do, that do have that investment and and better visibility as well as mapping and early monitoring systems do tend to fare a lot better than those who are giving it -- leaving it to luck. jackie: and what about the infrastructure problems that we're seeing on the ground, right? ports are an issue, air travel, but ground transportation is going to be difficult for quite some time with the destruction of roads and bridges, as you mentioned. so if you're on the ground in florida, at some point rebuilding efforts will begin. but how quickly can they expect supplies they need to come to

them? >> one of the biggest problems when hurricanes cause widespread disruption and flooding is a lot of the roads are not accessible. supply chains need railways, roadways and air all to be functioning efficiently in order for goods to flow. we also see trucks tend to get roped in by the aid organization to deliver critical supplies needed for the repair and reconstruction effort. that also in turn causes supply chain disruption are. also remember that companies have been monitoring the hurricane for several days now, so even if you are shipping off of eastern seaboard ports right now, you are seeing disruptions because all the available capacity was booked up for those companies trying to bring out shipments from florida ports. so it's really chaotic at the moment. again, ground means the

factories, the regions and sites that are on the ground, they are definitely seeing more difficulties even if the site itself is fine. they're having trouble receiving parts and shipments in. jackie: let me also ask you, there are people across the country trying to build homes, trying to renovate, do different things that have been told by their contractors you can't do this for a year, or you're going to have to gather parts, it's going to take longer, or prices have literally doubled as a result. since we're in a catastrophic situation now in florida, potentially maybe rebuilding in other states as well depending on how hard this storm hints georgia and the carolinas, it's only going to clamp down on an already difficult and tight supply chain with limited supplies. so what happens to pricing across the board for everybody else? >> well, we are already in an inflationary market that does not help. if anything, it makes it worse. not only nationally, but internationally. remember, florida is, exports

billions of dollars worth of material all over the world, and these are parts and products that go into a wide range of devices. we've already been seeing some level of constraints and rationing that has been going on. now we will see more of that, a lot of electronics have been disrupted already. this does not help, obviously, a lot of high-tech electronics get exported out of florida. so nationwide we will see impact. supply constraints, rationing as well as price increases as well as globally factories. so this impact will ripple over the coming months. in fact, it could take as much as 4-6 months before things go back to normal, and we still are not out of hurricane season yet. jackie: yeah. no, that is true, there could be other storms coming. bindiya, thank you so much for laying that out for us is so clearly. good to see you tonight. all right. president biden once again warning energy companies against hiking gas prices in the wake of

♪ jackie: hurricane ian expected to create a crunch on oil and gas supplies in florida. gulf coast oil terminals may be damaged, many gas stations are either out of fuel or destroyed, and more people need gas for generators. but for the second day in a row, the president has a warning for the industry. >> i also want to say again to the oil and gas executives, do not, do not, do not use this storm as an excuse to raise gasoline prices or gouge the american public. the price of oil has dropped in recent weeks. the price of gas should be going down as rapidly. jackie: but oil companies say the accusations are unfounded. does inserting fuel politics into a natural disaster help

anybody, president biden? joining me now to break it down is power the future executive director daniel turner. dan can yell, i'm so glad i have you to talk about this, because he's accusing oil and gas companies of waving a magic wand and changing the price of products, right? really what will happen, essentially, is because supplies are going to be tight as a result of this natural disaster, the futures market is going to bid oil -- the underlying price of oil per barrel higher, and that impacts the price of gasoline at the pump. that is why you may see an increase. there is the no price gouging going on currently. but having said that, the accusation is unfounded. it's like he thinks the ceo of exxon waves a magic wand and decides what he wants the price to be. >> and it's really frustrating, you know? it's frustrating to hear the president talk about this industry with more disdain than he speaks about communist china or vladimir putin. joe biden saves his truest and deepest anger and resentment towards those industries and

those people who he thinks are not aligned to his philosophy and his beliefs, and oil and gas is the top of that list. not only is his ignorance about pricing and market controls made explicit by these comments, but he's talking about oil companies and gas prices as if that's the same industry, and it's not. the amount of steps that go between extracting crude and pumping gas in your car are multiple. and and so the fact that he even just conflates the two and calls them same thing, he doesn't have any idea what he's talking about. and on behalf of this industry, that will bring florida back online, right, and that will save lives in florida, i'm just so damn tired of the president talking about us with such anger and disdain, because we're the backbone of this nation's economy. jackie: yeah, it's clear that he doesn't understand. i think that's great point that you make. and with respect to the gas stations, they're actually working on slim margin, they buy the gas in bulk. if the price was higher, they sell it at a higher price until

they work through the it. if the next shipment is lower, that's when they bring the price down. it doesn't work the way he thinks it works. it's so interesting because the vitriol really comes from his very progressive left climate change agenda. it was earth in the so-call inflation -- can evident in the so-called inflaix reduction act to try to go green overnight, but it's really going to be a problem in this country if we try to do it so quickly, you know? you've got an administration, you've got a lot of media on the left, dan, also saying that, oh, this storm was as a result of or the intensity was as a result of climate change. that's the narrative that they're trying to construct here. >> yeah. and climate change is the perfect foil, right? because regardless of what happens in the world, you can blame it on climate change. if there's a lot of rain, climb change. not enough rain? it's climate change. if you're a governor like gavin newsom and you don't have any forest management plan in place, every time your state catches fire, you blame climate change.

something that can withstand hurricanes is the fossil fuel industry. ask the biden administration -- and i've made this point repeatedly because it needs to be said -- ask the biden administration when florida is 100% green, which he is mandating by law, how will those wind farms and solar farms withstand is category five? what will happen to florida, what will happen to the country when tornadoes hit these wind farms, when heavy snows hit these solar farms, right? so fossil fuels can withstand a hurricane, and mankinding can. the green industry cannot. and if you have a tesla right now and you're trying to power it to get groceries, i tell you what, without power you can't do it -- jackie: right. >> but with gas, you can get in your truck and drive anywhere. jackie: and that was part of the problem, people trying to evacuate having difficulties with electric vehicles, charging stations, battery issues as well. we're just not ready to try to make this transition overnight.

even if we did do that as a country, we went green and everybody was driving an electric vehicle, china's still polluting, india's still polluting, we've still got problems across the globe. i mean, if the intensity of the storm was caused as a result of climate change, it would not stop overnight. >> no, it wouldn't. and we have to stop using climate change as an excuse for reality and for mother nature. just before i came on the show i tweeted a photo from my hometown of breezy point, new york. my parents lost their house, my uncle bob, my brother paul, coz -- can cousins, always lost their homes when hurricane sandy hit. that was tragic and devastating, and we rebuilt. but it wasn't climate change, right? the entire eastern seaboard of the united states is shaped the way it's shaped, that big swoop from florida to, is millions of years of hurricanes. hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes. nature is not going to change, and any politician who tells you that if you give them power they

can control nature, that person is power-hungry, and that person is a threat, and that person is your enemy. and any politician telling people vote for me and i will stop hurricanes, that person is a liar and a threat to your freedom, and you need to defeat that person. jackie: and that person is lying and essentially telling voters that he's god, and it's not possible. daniel, great to see you, as always. so much that we could talk about. always love getting your insight, thank you. >> thanks, jackie. jackie: coming up, the state of florida dealing with the aftermath of a catastrophe, and now night has fallen. we've got a live report from naples, florida, coming up next. ♪ ♪ it's beautiful out here. it sure is. and i earn 5% cash back on travel purchased through chase with chase freedom unlimited. that means that i earn 5% on our rental car, i earn 5% on our cabin. i mean, c'mon! hello cashback!

jackie: it's now dark in southwest florida, and if nearly 2 million customers are without power, a bad combination after a category four hurricane. it makes search and rescue far more difficult. it also makes the situation more dangerous and stressful for people who are desperate and scared. joining me now from naples, florida, fox weather correspondent max gorden. max, good evening. >> reporter: good evening, jackie. sea ises of destruction all throughout naples. flooded streets, trees toppled

lost. some areas in naples are still dealing with lingering storm water left over from the surge, and today many residents were spending the day mucking out swamped homes. i spoke to one man who rode out the storm here and talked to him about what it was like here. >> it was pretty rough. we got -- i'm down on bay shore, and we had in my bedroom i had 4 inches of water. we were surrounded by water. we had trees down, we had snakes, gators, all sorts of interesting creatures coming. >> reporter: a very uniquely florida issue right there, snakes and gators in the water. it's going to take some time for the folk here in naples to rebuild. ian, a storm they likely won't soon forget. jackie, back to you. jackie: let me ask you, max, i spent some time on the ground covering hurricanes. what amazed me even in the face of tragedy, death, difficulty, power outages, flooding, the way communities came together, the way strangers helped each other. are you seeing that on the

ground? >> reporter: jackie, absolutely. today we saw neighbors helping neighbors mucking out houses, really just coming together for each other. you know, it's truly in times like these when we see the strength of americans, and this is no exception. jackie: yeah. and the resilience of human beings. it's incredible to watch. we are praying for everybody in florida who has been impacted by and anybody else who's going to get in the way of this storm's path. max, thank you so much. good to see you tonight. and thanks so much to you at home for watching the show tonight. for all the latest updates on hurricane ian, download the fox weather app at fox weather.com. i'm jackie deangelis in for kennedy. good night from new york. ♪ ♪ ♪ i got into debt in college and, no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere. so i consolidated it into a low-rate personal loan from sofi.
