and southern part of the coast, charleston. worst case scenario, if this storm makes landfall, storm surge, inundations, how high the water would get over 8 feet. reporter: a fox news alert, ma thiewms fury. that's a lot of water. the storm surge is not going to be just at the coast, the storm surge can extend miles inland. authorizes are warning there it doesn't matter that you don't have a beach front home, you could be impacted by the storm could be even hic storm surge. surge well inland. this is number. you need to be aware of that. i'm harris faulkner. in addition, we expect significant damage to structures sandra smith, melissa francis due to battering waves and high and rachel campos duffy. tides. places like daniel island can be impacted by the storm surge. if you don't evacuate now, you will likely become stranded. in addition to the surge threat,

heavy rainfall is going to be an issue. for coastal areas 8 to 14-inches of rainfall is expected and even as you head towards inland, 3-6-inches of rain. because of that flash flood watch in effect. heavy rainfall is another concern for us that could result in flash flooding. you take a place like downtown charleston where you have not only the storm surge coming in, you have the heavy rainfall and you're looking at potential for deadly flooding in the charleston peninsula. we also want to mention the threat of winds, sustained winds along the coast. that's going to bring extensive damage to trees, we will see structural damage to homes. in addition, even if you live inland the stronger winds will pose issues to trees but also to people living in mobile homes so please be aware of that. given the strong winds and likely damage to occur, we should expect widespread and long-lasting power outagesment

we urge you if you're in evacuation zone and have not evacuated, now it's the time to do so and we urge you to move inland if you can, thank you. >> so you now heard what we discussed this morning which is the storm, you know, as we hoped it would relieve a little bit of the situation. i think we are seeing that it is getting worse and we are looking at major storm surges, we are looking at major winds. we are looking at wet grounds which could be flood like like what we saw last year and when you have that, you have falling trees, there's nothing safe about what's getting ready to happen. this is the last time you will hear my voice when i'm asking you to evacuate. we need everybody to consider evacuating and really take this very seriously. i want to tell you some updates on what we have going on. as of 9:20 director smith and his team closed access to ri --

reverted roads and you will see lanes open around midday. at some point we are going to get our first responders and crews off of the road so they can seek shelter as well. we have 712 troopers on the road, 2700dot maintenance crew members that are ready to go. thousands of guardsmen that are on the ground but also getting ready to be deployed during search and rescue situation. the number that have evacuated as of this morning are now at 310,000 which is up from 280,000 in my report yesterday afternoon. what we want to remind people is local bus operations are still moving to shelters. so if you are not going to evacuate, at least go to a shelter, at least go to areas where we know that we can have a safe comfortable place for you

to have food and water. jenna: governor nikki haley saying this is the last major warning to get out of an area where evacuation order is suggested in some cases. why do officials keep talking about the storm surge? the director of national hurricane center told us yesterday that nine out of ten deaths related to the storm that we are seeing, are due to the storm surge. this is the reason why there's so much focus on that and why we are going to be asking a lot of questions about it throughout our coverage today. so georgia, south carolina, that's the next focus for the storm. as we get more information, we will bring it to you. john: of course, hurricane matthews arrives smack in the middle of political season, donald trump and hillary clinton meeting for the second presidential debate sunday evening and this time in st. louis. mr. trump possibly preparing for it during a town hall style event in new hampshire last night. >> i have a clock down on the floor there that says two minutes. >> okay.

>> do you want me to call you when it goes over two minutes? >> if i am doing well, don't call me. if i'm answering the question poorly, please call me immediately. john: let's bring in senator greg who played the role of al gore when george w. bush prepared for debates in 2000 also played john kerry in bush's 204 debate prep. is that a task, senator, that you miss? >> no, it's not a task that i miss. it was pretty intense. a lot of work. a lot of going over videos, statements, listening to press conferences, reviewing what had happened in the past. it took a lot of time. it turned to the point where i was listening to so much video and tape whenever my wife all she heard was al gore. john: but the kind of preparation with which you help president george w. bush is different from the format of this upcoming debate.

i mean, that's two men, two respond to go one another. this one is town hall format and half of the questions come from moderators and have come from undecided voters and that's a difficult skill to master, isn't it? >> town hall debate is different than moderated debate because you have the question who is a sincere person and dpieted that they're going to get to speak to potentially or one of these people is going to be president and so they're very serious about what they're saying and it's very important that the candidates take that question seriously and engage with the questioner rather than engage with opponent. so the question actually becomes a mediator sort to say. buffer for a lack of a word between the candidates and the

physical interchange between questioner and candidate is critical and the body language of the candidates is critical. a number of the debates has been tre mended impacted by body language when gore walked over into president bush's area which he wasn't supposed to do and stood beside him and president bush looked at him with an amused look. that was one of the defining moments of the debate, most people believe. it is a very different, very different horse here. john: george w. bush gave him that texas brushoff. >> right. john: got caught on camera looking at his watch during one of the town hall debates and a lot of people -- the woman was asking questions, a lot of people thought it looked like he wanted to get out of there and didn't look like he didn't have empathy and it's something that the candidates have to put on display, isn't it?

>> absolutely. in fact, for these candidates double the important because both of the candidates because have negative that exceed 50% which is startling, most americans don't like either of them. as a practical matter, the person who win it is debate is going to be the person that comes out, in my opinion, the most likable of the two and the person who projects leader quality, he or she is going to take the country in a positive direction. on those two scores, if you come out more likable and show a sense that you're a leader going to take the country in positive direction, you're probably going to be winner. i know you endorsed jeb bush in primary season. hillary clinton has had a fair amount of experience at these town halls, but are you making any predictions as to what she or donald trump can pull off this format to their best advantage? >> you know, i actually think it

benefits donald trump than hillary. hillary is much more machine call. there's -- mechanical. donald trump is what he says and what it is. sometimes he says things that are totally erratic in my opinion. if he can show the genuine and do it in a way that runs people down or belittle his opponent, actually. john: senator jeff greg who has experience playing the role of the opponent, opposing candidate in a couple of debates. we appreciate your insight, thank you. >> thank you, thanks for your time. john: stay tune for fox news channel for the second presidential debate. all day sunday fox will have coverage, 9:00 p.m. eastern here on fox news channel. jenna: time sure flies when you're having fun, not to mention the work that goes with it. special anniversary here at fox

news, we are celebrating two decades on the air. we will have a look back through the years next

john: big day at fox news and we are celebrating. it was 20 years ago today, 1996 that we signed on the air, so much has happened in our nation and really the world since then from the terms of president clinton u bush and obama, the financial crisis, recession and, of course, 9/11 followed by wars in afghanistan and iraq. also the fight against terror. >> terrific, terrific morning and good to be part of the fox news channel on the inaugural day. bill: hi, i'm bill o'reilly, thank you for watching on our

first day. >> fox news channel gives you more news in less time. john: became the most trusted name in news. within the month the fox news channel debut a huge political story hit the airways. >> no words can convey the gratitude i feel tonight. >> president bill clinton easily wins reelection just two years after party lost control of both houses of congress, he rebounded beating out republican war hero bob dole in a landslide victory. the story put fox news on the map as political power house, a police unafraid to ask the tough questions inside. >> democrats are trying to take back the house. it could come down to just a few seats. >> they haven't popped the corks on the champagne bottles.

bret: obama celebrating the historic triumph. >> you call women you don't like fat bigs, slobs. >> did you lie to your staff? >> there was not a sexual relationship. john: two decades brought us to cover the darkest day anybody has ever seen. this has to be deliberate, folks. >> people in the entire perimeter, literally including myself that's why i'm out of my breath to run for our lives. >> on my orders, the u.s. military has gun strikes against al-qaeda training camps and installations of taliban regular neem in afghanistan.

john: afghanistan invasion, our first glimpse into a war on terrorism now 15 years along. >> i tell you the positions are about a mile -- get down over there. >> behind us you can see wide range of military vehicles. army as well and in the distance you see heavy artillery out here. the former president of iraq spent his last minute of freedom. he came out and the words are these. he spoke in english. >> i am saddam hussein. john: fox reporters putting themselves in harm's way. >> i cannot imagine the city coming back. >> there are still bodies here

two days after the wave struck. >> they were looking at the possibility of people being buried and still alive. john: two decades following the world's tragedies. >> lay the body of diana, princess of whales. martha: shooting in connecticut, still unconfirmed the details on that but this happens as sandy hook elementary school -- john: covering the triumphs of our nation. >> the general and his men are watching this live broadcast. [cheers and applause] >> we celebrated together. >> they want everybody to take a good luck a little while from now. john: grieve together. >> death of former president ronald reagan.

john: for 20 years you trusted us for news, we will continue striving to keep that trust for the next 20 years and beyond. john: wow. i cannot believe. i remember when i started here and what it felt like on that first day and it just seems like a blink of an eye. jenna: one is the incredible reporting of our team. what amazing journalist that is we work with and truly monumental events that they've been able to cover for our country. that's one observation, the second observation is you haven't kinged a bit in 20 years. john looks great, right? 20 years passed like that and no problem. john: i did get a new tie, i have to say. hats off to colleagues because when you look at the work that they have done over the years, it's just incredible. jenna: the body of work, absolutely.

we thank our viewers as well. we can do all we can on the other side of the camera, but if they're not watching, it doesn't matter. governor mike pence saying donald trump is pulling ahead in the white house despite what he calls media bias in favor of hillary clinton. does he have a point? we are going to fill in on hurricane matthew as it slams the florida coast. what's the next thing to watch ahead

jenna: forecasters say it's still a powerful category 3 hurricane. major threat right now is the storm surge, howling winds pushing 11-foot wall on shore and creating life-threatening situation along the broad stretch of the southeast texas storm also causing major travel disrupgs with at least 2,000 flights canceled today according to flight and we will continue to monitor. john: mike pence telling supporters donald trump is making headways despite the campaign's claims of media bias against gop nominee. >> sometimes i get up in the

morning with a stick. it's two on one. donald trump is still winning hearts and minds every day. john: talk about it with media panel. republicans specially claim that they are the victims of media bias, lynn, is it true in the coverage of this campaign? >> overall when you look at the coverage of hillary clinton and donald trump, no, no, and no. maybe you can slice out one day or a short time period but that's the flow of news, what pence is doing is just picking up the call of donald trump who rose to the gop presidential nomination because of the massive of coverage he got mainly on television for free. he's now just repeating things

that if we did a hard look at coverage will be far more even-handed than he allegations. john: judy, isn't it the says that most reporters lean left? >> absolutely right and as you know, i have complained often, john, about liberal bias. reporters not identifying their own or our own biases, but here is the difference. normally when donald trump tries to blame the messenger in this point it's not the media he has to blame himself. he's the one who created these enormous gaffes, he's the one who engaged in 3:00 a.m. twitter storms about fat women and ms. housekeeping and terrible miss universes and talks about ptsd a sign of weakness in military people. we don't event these things, he creates opportunities for

commentators to beat up on him. i think that lynn is absolutely right. the media have looked again and again at trump's business dealings, at whether or not what he says -- there's any relationship to reality but they have also done that all of her political life to hillary clinton and she doesn't like us, he doesn't like us, we don't want to be liked, we just want to tell the american people what they need to know to make their own decisions about whom they're going to support in november. john genuine appearance of jim, one of the founders of the political website politico. here is what he had to say. >> reporters have become biased, particularly on twitter. look at the twitter feeds of major newspapers, others and tell me if those are things that they would say on tv or or that would have been accepted.

that doesn't mean trump doesn't say plenty -- let the facts be out there and let people make a judgment. john: pretty respected political reporter, is he wrong? >> one of the things i hope our viewers could do is not take generality against indictment of profession. i don't know what twitter he's talking about. in this case because donald trump's words are so easily fact-checked and so often is wrong about a variety of things, he gives openings for reporters to be more -- i don't call this opinionated, to tell their readers what is going on. now, if you take that being for or against somebody, i don't know what tweets jim is talking about but, yes, there is a

change in this election because there's so many egregious things that trump says and more fact-checks, that's clearly going through and the conversation in print, tv, facebook, twitter and other social media. john: the contention of the trump campaign, judy, if reporters would go after hillary clinton on her e-mails, on benghazi, you name the topic as rough as they do donald trump this race would look a whole lot different? >> well, first of all, when you look at the record of donald trump versus hillary clinton you see that donald trump has more pants on fire, liar, liar ratings than any other candidate in political history. hillary has one of the best ratings, that being said, i think the media have pointed out again and again the contradictory things she said about emails, the fact that she sent about sending and receiving classified information turned

out to be true. we have gone over and over benghazi, foundation, appearance of conflict of interest and yet after 11 hours of congressional testimony and all of our scrutiny she is still standing, she is the candidate, the american people are going to decide on who is more honest, donald trump or hillary clinton and whether or not honesty really matters to them. john: well, lynn, i want to ask about this, new disclosure as a result of freedom of information request filed fbi republican national committee, they have divulged emails from white house personnel suggesting that the white house was getting involved in sort of trying to protect hillary clinton's campaign, they didn't want john kerry asking or -- they didn't want kerry answering questions on one to have cb sunday morning shows about her e-mail situation and apparently they were able to

squelch that although cbs denies that there was any deal. the white house people in their e-mail says, okay, it's all good. it's not going to be an issue. that just raises a lot of questions about whether the press is playing its role as a neutral referee in this thing. >> you described emails between a booking decision made by a white house and the campaign, what would be the end result that we could talk about is if kerry did go on shows and that's what i hope viewers can separate. the tv -- the people who book these tv shows go to the white house and ask for people to come on the shows. it's the call of the white house to do it. but one other point i want to underscore, what judy and i have been talking about that donald trump complaints so much about the press did not have the scrutiny during the primary that he's having now and he is the

gop presidential nominee having not gone through the kind of standard vetting that because he wasn't taking it seriously as he should have during primary. so he was only getting now what in a routine time he would have gotten further reason why he should not have no complaint about the press. john: there were predictions, judy, that that would be the case and predictions along the same lines for john mccain, john mccain was a beloved figure when he was sort of the republican maverick but once he became the nominee the press started beating up on him. >> yes, it happens when you get the nomination of your party. i think you have to expect that. now, i can remember some of the stories about john mccain that appeared on the front pages of new york times and other prominent paper that is were truly just below standard and not below the belt and i'm not going to make intended or unintended punt here.

alleged relations with women and staffers that should never have appeared. the same can be true in this campaign. there are stories i wish had not -- wished had not appeared, but on the whole, donald trump of all people cannot complain about a lack of media coverage when media, it was the media that propelled him to the place where he is today. his fascination with mastery of social media has been hugely impressive. it's what enables him to rise, but here is the message, donald, rise by the tweets trump, rise by the tantrum, fall by the tantrum if that's your choice, but you cannot just complain about the messengers when you are giving us the message. john: we will continue to cover it all the way through election day. judy miller, lynn, thank you. >> thank you. jenna: forcing evacuations in its path. the hurricane is still offshore.

also a new report claims a so-called revolving door between the white house, state department and clinton campaign to manage the fallout from the democratic presidential nominee's e-mail controversies. more on the revelations a month away from the election or you can take a joyride. bye bye, errands, we sing out loud here. siriusxm. road happy. across new york state, from long island to buffalo, from rochester to the hudson valley, from albany to utica, creative business incentives, infrastructure investment, university partnerships, and the lowest taxes in decades are creating a stronger economy and the right environment in new york state for business to thrive. let us help grow your company's tomorrow- today at business.ny.gov

as mrs. clinton geared up to run for president, end quote. joining me glen hall, u.s. editor for the wall street journal. the big take away from the story is what, glen? >> what you see a further evidence of that interaction between the white house and the clinton campaign to try to coordinate on the issue of those emails and those servers that were going to be a problem for the clinton campaign. jenna: coordinate a public message? >> to try to avoid conversations about it and trying not to let it spiral out of control. it's worth noting that, you know, what we are talking about here the white house communication's team jennifer who later joined the clinton campaign, speak to go her counterpart at the state department who later took jennifer's job at the white house. jenna: people leave and come back and switch positions. anything illegal? >> can't see anything so far that would describe a violation of the law. you know, people may question it

for sure and you see it's quite normal for clinton campaign to draw on people that she worked with previously in the secretary of state's office. not a problem for secretary of state to communicate to successor in that or staff communication, but, you know, it does further the donald trump narrative that the obama white house was working to help hillary clinton avoid this issue. jenna: based on the reporting, one of the take away appears that they were worried. both the administration and clinton campaign were worried about more questions regarding regarding the e-mail. >> that's right. early on before the campaign was launched, they were starting to be concerned that this could be an issue. jenna: one of the questions that we need to ask now why were they worried and what else is there. there's more written about it as we end the week. i'm curious whether the story continues or whether or not it goes away. i'm talking specifically about the portion of tax return that is "the new york times" was able

to acquire, basically tax experts have said he did use the laws in the way that serve him and there's nothing illegal that he did in this matter. so where do you think the story goes from here? >> i think the challenge here and the reason it probably sticks with the campaign for a while longer is that we don't actually have all of the tax documents to figure out exactly what he did. what we do know is that back in those periods of time there was a general collapse of the commercial real estate entry and laws that were changed to help them all out and what you saw was donald trump applying those laws to his favor and finding a deduction and quite possibly laws allowed you to do two things, allows you on the one hand to write down large part of the business and carry that loss forwards to mitigate profits you had made but also if those loan that is you took to run those businesses that went under were written down by the banks, you didn't have to count that as income which was normally the way and that was a special

loophole for real estate investors. jenna: for people to survive which was a bad housing situation in the 90's. before i let you go, i want to ask you about the job's report. today we actually got the new job's numbers. what do those numbers tell us? >> they are significant to the campaign bus on the one hand it further clinton's narratives that the policies are working or does it further donald trump's change agenda. what we saw was in the middle. that reflected more people coming into the workforce which is a good thing. we saw wages generally not moving. so i don't think it moved much in terms of the economic sentiments behind these campaigns, but both campaigns will try to figure out. jenna: it'll be interesting whatever glass you're going through. we have one more report. >> that's right, november. jenna: john. john: hurricane matthew closing
