irma's deadly wrath. todd: griff, good morning. >> good morning todd and heather. for much of florida here in naples and surrounding area it's a big cleanup removing the hundreds of thousands of trees like the ones you see behind me and restoring power. in the keys a very different story and maybe a humanitarian crisis unfolding as the tens of thousands of -- 10,000 residents, committee, that stayed behind are dealing with the unbelievable damage that wrecked the keys, particularly the southern keys. irma coming on and the residents who can't get in very angry, very upset. and the only way in is that highway 1. one way in, one way out. officials not letting people in until this morning. at 7:00 a.m. monroe county will begin letting the you were keys area, key largo, isla

merata, caven near key but not down in the south. residents along that entry point are very angry. take a listen to this resident. she has had it. >> i have a dog and cat and parrot and i can't get back to my home. there is nothing open. i have no food. i have no water. this is wrong. this is wrong. >> and governor scott was touring the area by air yesterday to assess how unbelievable this damage is that irma caused. here is what the governor had to say. >> my heart goes out to the people in the keys. i mean, there is devastation. and, you know, i just hope everybody, you know, survived. it's horrible what we saw. >> now, obviously, one of the big stories, guys, you will hear playing out is power restoration because nearly half or more of the state of florida without power, difficult conditions. but none like that playing out in the keys.

why so many stayed behind? perhaps we will find out. but they have got to get in some food which could be running out soon by today. water and other elements as people try to return business owners and residence other keys. todd: seems early to have that rage that gentleman had. we had a major hurricane. is major understatement. what are you going to do? griff jenkins live for us in florida. thanks, griff. homes flooded and millions remain without power in florida this morning. heather: that isn't stopping evacuees from trying to get back home. this is a live look. actually, that's not live. this is fort lauderdale an hour after its doors reopened for the first time since hurricane irma. todd: meantime jillian mele joins us live from orlando right now with the latest there. jillian, good morning. >> good morning, heather and todd. i can tell from you firsthand experience people are just anxious to get outside. to get some food. to get home to. travel. we were actually in orlando

last night. we saw lines like crazy outside of mcdonald's. people just saying they needed to be out of their house and get back to normal life. take a look behind me here this is a double tree here in orlando. can you see the facade pretty much ripped off half of that side of the billing. that's not the only spot in that building we are seeing that facade. wind damage from irma as the wind moved through this area. a lot of people are starting to getting back to normal life. take a look at video from the orlando airport where things are expected to get up and running today here in orlando. here at the airport in tampa. also in jacksonville. we are being told that airports -- that the airlines are going to start running but expect that to be on a limited basis. keep that in mind. i'm sure a lot of people anxious to get home. you will have to be a little bit patient as those airports get up and running at full steam. yesterday we were in tampa as you guys know. we made our way out here to orlando. in between about 50 miles southwest of where we are right now, we stopped in a town called lake land. lake land got hit very hard.

the eye of the storm went over it we got report of a couple -- a tree literally fell and pretty much broke their home in half. i don't know if we have this video that you can see. as we pulled up to the house, you could see inside to the bedroom from the side of the house where the tree ran through. you could see a mattress and their belonging in there. so it was definitely quite a sight. while we were there, we actually saw a couple checking it out for the very first time. watch this. >> did you hear this happen. >> no. i just come back to come home and we come back to nothing. and this is like the first major hurricane. i have only been down here since august of last year. so this is the first major hurricane that i have been through. >> and as you can understand they were pretty upset. that's the scene we saw all over the place in every town we stopped in yesterday. people just getting that firsthand look ever now what they have to deal with going forward. send it back to you guys. heather: a lot of frustration as people head back home.

todd: tough moment when you first see that thanks. latest on irma. of course, all eyes now on jose. go over to janice dean live in the studio. janice: hard to believe 48 hours we were dealing with the landfall of irma. and now the winds and the rain have spread out. it's a remnant low but bringing the potential for heavy rainfall tennessee river valley and across the atlantic. we got total of 15 inches of rain not only for south florida and north florida into southeast georgia yesterday. we had a lot of flash flood emergencies going on. the storm spreading out and bringing a lot of heavy rainfall across parts of the mississippi river valley. the tennessee river valley. and then it will start to really weaken and we will be done with this storm system by tomorrow. hurricane jose, where is it going? your guess is probably better than mine. but we do have to monitor it as it comes quite close to the u.s. but you can see by the computer models, we don't quite know but we will keep you posted. back to you guys.

heather: i doubt my guess is as good as yours or any of us. i think you know a little bit more, janice. janice: we will try our best. but that looks like a big like my kids went like this. todd: janice in science class. thanks, janice. heather: president trump reaching across the aisle to fulfill his promise you have tax reform for the american people. todd: today he will hold a bipartisan meeting with several top senators at the white house. ellison barber with details. >> president trump is hoping to make tax reform bipartisan arguably starting tonight. welcome a handful of senators on the left and the right to the white house for additional this evening. according to a new report in the "the washington post," three republicans and three democrats will attend citing sources who are familiar with the plans. the post says the dinner will include republican members of the senate finance committee, like chairman orrin hatch,

patrick toomey of pennsylvania, and john thune of south dakota. on the democratic side senators joe manchin of west virginia, joe donnelly of indiana and heidi heitkamp of north dakota. all moderate democrats up for re-election next year in states that president trump won. president trump says tax reform is his top priority right now. his press secretary said yesterday they want to get it done by the end of the year. president trump is taking that message straight to the people. last week he headed to north dakota and gave a speech alongside senator heitkamp. >> we want to renew our prosperity, restore our opportunity, and reestablish our economic dominance, which is what we should be doing, then we need tax reform that is pro-growth, pro-jobs, pro-worker, pro-family and, yes, pro-american. >> for the most part, republicans have been the ones negotiating with the white house. the president's party, while the majority, is a small one

and it's possible trump will need some help from the other side of the aisle. remember last week he reached across the aisle and cut a deal with top democrats to raise the debt ceiling. heather? todd? heather: all right, ellison barber live for us. thank you, ellison. that does bring us to a look at whose talking this morning. former speaker of the house newt gingrich says that president trump never forgets who he works for. and that is the american people. >> trump is a republican but he doesn't get up in the morning and say my number one job is to build the republican party. i think he sincerely is wrestling with how do you make america great again. i think he was very frustrated coming out of the summer with the inability to get things done on a partisan basis. and i think there is a little bit of floundering here that i think may be healthy. we are in a different world. none of us fully know how the next six months are going to work out. i think for the republicans,

there is one absolute total imparity, that is to pass a tax cut by thanksgiving. i think trump has every reason to be worried that they won't be able to do it. todd: for the first time in u.s. history the national debt has surpassed $20 trillion. the debt crossed that mark after president trump agreed to raise the debt limit for three months along with approving billions in disaster relief funds. congress will have to address the debt ceiling again in december. heather: north korea new sanctions. the approving a ban on the rogue regime textile exports and cutting back on its ability to import oil. the measures aren't as tough as the u.s. wanted. the trump administration had pushed for banning oil imports and freezing kim jong un's financial assets. the new sanctions come after a series of long range missile tests. todd: president trump's controversial immigration order getting a second win

from the supreme court. allowing by delaying a lower court's ruling to end it. those suing over the elections must respond now by noon today. the supreme court hears full arguments on the travel policy next month. >> the director of the cia issues a stern warning to al qaeda 16 years after members of the terror group attacked the u.s. on 9/11. mike pompeo telling our own bret baier that the agency is hunting daily for some of usa bin laden's son and other top al qaeda leaders. >> if i were them, i would count my days. it is weaker than it was 16 years ago. that is the u.s. government and our allies have done really good work to take out those senior leaders. heather: as you just heard, pompeo saying al quird is weaker than it was 16 years ago. but it missed the threat

from radical islam remains because of groups like ition isis. todd: 16 years after the september 11th the tradition to honor the victims live on. heather: beams of light shooting into the sky over lower manhattan where the twin towers once stood. earlier families of victims once again read the names of those who lost their lives at the world trade center. president trump observing the anniversary for the first time as commander in chief by placing a wreath at the pentagon with the first lady. the terrorists who attacked us thought they could incite fear and weaken our spirit. but america cannot be intimidated. and those who try will soon join the long list of vanquished enemies who dare to test our mettle. todd: vice president mike pence went to shanksville, pennsylvania where flight 93

crashed into the field, the intended target capitol hill. >> i will always believe that i and many others in our nation's capital were able to go home that day, to hug our families because of the courage and selflessness of the heroes of flight 93. so for me it's personal. todd: vice president pence was serving his first term as a u.s. congressman when the attacks were carried out. heather: well, the time now is 12 minutes after the top of the hour. and n. a plot to kill the vice president, the terrifying threat actually made against vice president pence on 9/11. todd: plus, get lost. really. that's the message one florida sheriff is sending to those ransacking stores in his city. he joins us live next. heather: braving the storm the officer who saved old glory from irma.

kevin, how's your mom? life well planned. see what a raymond james financial advisor can do for you. heather: looters get lost. the fort lauderdale chief of police warning going to prison over a pair of sneakers is a fairly bad life choice. stay home and look after your loved ones and be thankful they are all safe. todd: joining us on the phone this morning is that police chief rick maglione. first how is your city doing. >> the city is doing great, todd. thank you for having me. i would like to start by saying we realize we dodged a big bullet down here in fort lauderdale it could have been much worse. our goal at the city is to get back on our feet as quickly as possible and get power restored and get the roads and beach cleaned up so we could k. get some of our resources dispatched to the other parts of the state that weren't as fortunate as we were.

heather: chief, you were prepared for anything to happen. you had something you called a burglary suppression teams deployed almost immediately? >> what we did as soon as they announced on a county level an evacuation of a certain sector of our city, basically the east side of our city we felt we had increased responsibility to protect those folks' property that were ordered out of their homes. so we cancelled all leave and days off for officers to put more officers on the street. then we also activated burglary suppression teams 24 hours a day, seven days a week whose sole mission was to go out there and apprehend folks trying to take advantage of this situation. todd: where did folks seem to be targeting. sporting good store in the video. where else? >> fortunately, we only had two residential burglaries. excuse me, two individuals that committed residential burglaries. they hit about seven houses almost in a row in the evacuation area. buff we were fortunate to catch them and one of the

things that helped was there was also a curfew enact sod we knew anybody that was out on the street was someone who was not abiding by the law. when the storm began, we started to get hit with the looting. and that was primarily businesses. pawn shops, and sneaker stores. heather: i saw online and on twitter, i don't know if it was you or if it was miami, they actually posted a picture of some of these individuals who had been arrested for doing things like this. how many people have you arrested so far? this is the first i actually got to go home and get some sleep. i just checked the morning information before we spoke, and it seems like we got the message out. we had nothing last night from the time the storm started coming in until last night we arrested 20 individuals. what you were talking about, that was me. i actually gave a warning to the public that we are here to help but that anybody

that was going to come here and try to victimize our neighbors and our business owners, they're going to be caught and they are going to be arrested. heather: good. >> i had made the decision we were also going to public size their information. so hopefully that would dissuade anybody from engaging in that type of activity. todd: understood. chief, do you have your work cut out for you both in the storm response and obviously on preventing looters. we appreciate you taking time to be with us this morning. heather: you are doing a great job. >> thank you. todd: time now 18 minutes after the hour. apparently right wing extremism is more dangerous than terrorist sns that outrageous message from one college professor on the anniversary of 9/11. >> we've learned new information about his conduct that only provided further justification for that firing including giving false testimony. heather: plus the white house putting the pressure back on james comey and hillary clinton isn't in the

clear either. ♪ under pressure ♪ and dulcoease for comfortable relief of hard stools. dulcolax. designed for dependable relief.

todd: 23 minutes after the hour. american university professor now claiming that right wing terrorism in the u.s. is a bigger threat than islamic terror. do the facts support this? here now to weigh in from campus reform correspondent annemarie ramsey and media director cabot phillips. good morning to both of you. first, let me read the quote. this is from professor concerns on islamic. media talks about them more, so it is understandable why the average american has this frankly inaccurate view of what the threat is.

when we actually look at it over half the attacks in the past 10 years have been committed by some right wing extremist group. ann that refresh his recollection i will let you kick it off. >> i would love to. quite frankly when i heard a statement from a professor from my school american university. i was absolutely shocked and horrified. this statement is absolutely ludicrous and is really consistent with a lot of the the unpatriotic sentiments that i felt on campus at the american university which is so ironic with its name. i'm a senior now on campus and unfortunately, there have been many instances of unpatriotic behavior such as flag burns after the election that i'm really horrified by on campus. todd: cabot, i want to put up a full screen before we go to you. research team. homegrown terrorist deaths victims killed by jihadists 94. victims killed by right wing extremists 48. i don't think anybody is

condemning anything terrorism wise, especially that done by right wing extremists. what is your response to this professor? >> terrorism is horrible in any form. but we need to make sure we are getting the facts straight. this is something we see repeatedly at campus reform how professors are more times concerned with pushing p.c. narrative than they are with teaching the facts. sadly in the world today radical islam has become this dirty phrase that we don't want to utter we try to blame violence and terrorism on anything else. let's call it what it is. let's teach students the facts and make up their own minds about important issues like this. not try to shield their eyes and take the blame away from what's going on here. that's not going to prepare students for the real world. todd: i will ask a tucker carlson question here. i'm 39 years old, college very liberal places. don't get me wrong. it wasn't to this strange degree. you had liberals. you had conservatives. they debated, we moved on. now it seems that some of these claims are just outlandish, anna marie. >> they really are people,

professors in particular are so comfortable because of the liberal bias on campus that they feel comfortable enough to come up with these ludicrous and uninformed claims and they feel confident enough to say these things and indoctrinate people who, quite frankly, were not old enough to remember the september 11th attacks which is really the scariest part of this. todd: cabot, 10 seconds left. what do we do as a society. >> holding administrators accountable. parents not sending their kids to universities doing. this market forces begin to fix these college campuses. todd: debate is important, both sides. have you got to have it but i don't know what this is. cabot and annemarie. thank you so much. have a great day. >> thank you for having us. heather: it is not debate that. irma not gone just yet. our live coverage continues up next. as the entire southeast braces for the worst. plus, monday night football message.

todd: straight now to a fox news alert. florida keys will partially reopen this morning as florida residents anxiously await to see what's left of their homes. heather: pick up the pieces from what's left behind from irma's deadly and destructive wrath. todd: griff jenkins on the load road to recovery there. griff, good morning. >> good morning, todd and heather. you know, here in naples, collier county, marco island, it's all about the cleanup, removing trees like this giant uprooted one behind me and restoring power and little bit of isolated flooding they were spared that terrible storm surge and little bit of flooding remains. in the keys, a humanitarian

crisis nearly downed there. the aerial footage showing the damage as irma came across cudjooe key. 7:00 a.m. they met let residents with proof of business or home. but residents are on edge. one pregnant woman named amber certainly thought holding back. listen to this. >> it's frustrating, yeah. i'm pregnant. i'm just sitting here. i'm hot, i'm hungry. i'm tired. i know it's probably not thatch better but at least i would be home, you know, versus sitting in a gas station parking lot. todd: so if no power, heat no, cell service and scarce water is comfortable for you, well, that's what's happening as they try and get these residents back to the keys. because that is a priority of theirs. governor rick scott touring by air the damage and sees

things firsthand. here is what he had to say. >> my heart goes out to the people in the keys. there is devastation. it's -- and you know, i just hope everybody, you know, survived. it's horrible what we saw. >> a little more local here at island where mayor made landfall residents going back in today. heather: i was saying my parents are without power in north carolina as a result of some of the outer bands of that storm as well. todd: intense wind all across the southeast. griff, thank you. let's go now live to janice dean live in the weather center with the latest on irma as it finishes up and of course all eyes on jose. janice: no way jose #. let's see, you know, some of the reliable forecast models are showing a curve and not hitting the u.s. and i've got my fingers crossed. let's take a look at irma obviously. a devastating storm for

millions of folks without power. and we saw upwards of a foot of rainfall, fort pierce over 15 inches of rainfall and we saw flash flood emergencies as far as north as the carolinas. past 48 hours you can see went from a hurricane from a remnant low and we are going to see the potential for showers, a thunderstorm, even isolated tornadoes or two across the southeast, the mid-atlantic, the tennessee, the mississippi river valley. there is your future radar. by wednesday, things start to dissipate, which is great news. looking at some of the rainfall totals, not epic rainfall totals, just kind of nuisance rainfall on top of what they have already received. certainly will keep you posted. jose right now some of the reliable computer models keep it offshore and away from land. again, fingers crossed but i will keep you posted. back to you. todd: hopefully the fish are the only ones disturbed by the hurricane. heather: the islands don't need anymore.

janice: that's true. we will keep a watch over those islands, too. heather: alabama under a state of emergency right now as tropical depression irma moves north. todd: deadly storm bringing strong wind and rain a day after battering south carolina and georgia. heather: jeff flock heading down i-75 towards naples, florida right now and he joins us with more. hi, jeff. >> heather, literally on the road to recovery this morning. i-75 out the window. that's a publix truck. supplies headed back. in power crews headed back. in all down i-75 on the west coast to florida. but as you report, i will tell you, this thing is so enormous. it's still going to the north in south carolina. charleston, for example, floods still happening. i mean, we are trying to be on the road to recovery down here in florida. but, in charleston, still flooding. you know, in isla palms. there was a tornadoes that touched down.

isla palms was ground zero for hurricane hugo in 1989. tough stuff. south carolina kind of in the crosshairs right now. emergency management there with their latest statement. take a listen. >> right now our primary priority is sheltering and initial response in support of the counties. and then also planning for damage assessment and reentry as time goes on. >> to the south, georgia also tybee island. we spent the hurricane on barrier island. they just get hammered as the water comes in. tybee island one of them and even as far as to the west as atlanta. the word out of atlanta today is atlanta is pretty much closed for business as is much of florida. but we're trying to get back on the stick here as we roll down. by the way, here is the tampa bay times by the way. hurricane edition. we were lucky. i guess can you call it

luck. but if you are sitting somewhere out of power and in no airconditioning. you might not think you are that lucky. heather: you got your life and comparatively speaking to what those u.s. virgin islands dealing with criminals roaming around free right now. so, yeah. todd: jeff flock with a much drier and less windy live shot than yesterday on the road to naples. jeff, thanks. heather: be careful. todd: if someone pays me enough money i will kill the vice president. those words landing william dunbar behind bars. police claim the new jersey native made the comments while on duty just days before the vice president's trip to the 9/11 memorial in pennsylvania. dunbar is charged with a terrorist i can threat and disorderly conduct. heather: white house chief of staff and general john kelly firing back after being called a, quote, disgrace to the uniform. democratic congressman louise gutierrez slamming kelly for supporting the president's decision to end daca which protects children

of illegal immigrants from deportation. in an exclusive statement to fox news, kelly says, quote: as far as the congressman and other irresponsible members of congress are concerned, they have the luxury of saying that what they want as they do nothing and have almost no responsibility. as my blessed mother used to say, empty barrels make the most noise. to keep daca congress has just six months to pass legislation. todd: hillary clinton's private email server scandal not over just yet. usage ordering the state bar to investigate three clinton lawyers. including former state department chief of staff cheryl mills. the order follows claims from a lawyer that the clinton legal team destroyed evidence by deleting thousands of emails. bar association there i believe in maryland initially dismissed the accusations. but the judge says they are too strong to ignore. heather: speaking of testimony. there is some new pressure on james comey to return to capitol hill. as the white house accuses

him of some false testimony. here is what sarah sanders had to say. >> we have been pretty clear what our position is. and certainly i think that has been shown in the days that follow that the president was right in firing director comey since director's firing we have learned new information about his conduct that only provided further justification for that firing, including giving false testimony, leaking privileged information to journalists. he went outside of the chain of commands and politicized an investigation into a presidential candidate. todd: with regard to this. i always come back to this 10-year-old child trying to write a book report but two months before actually reading the book. gregg jarrett as legal scholarly analysis right here. listen. >> comey should have been fired a long time ago. he usurped the authority of the attorney general. he broke all the rules in

making his public announcement. and then he blatantly misinterpreted the law. now we know the senate judiciary committee has come women a document, a statement is that comey authored two months before he ever interviewed hillary clinton or her top aides exonerating her. now, how is that possible unless he was told to do it or he decided to do it on his own. there ought to be a special counsel other than his good buddy robert mueller to open an investigation to convene a grand jury and decide whether james comey has committed crimes, including an obstruction of justice. heather: really doesn't make any sense at all. todd: just logical. take a step back. forget all the legal nuances. would you do two months before doing all the research. mind boggling. heather: what's interesting is you had steve bannon on "60 minutes" insinuating that he thought it was a wrong move to, in fact, fire him. so i found that very interesting as well. todd: many opinions on the

comey front. certainly we'll be discussing this for many, many days to come. time now is 39 minutes after the hour. crazy crash. the shocking moment a plane falls out of the sky. a little bit too close to my house up there connecticut, heather. crashing into a tree and somehow the pilot walks away. heather: unbelievable there the florida pizza hut owner who threatened to punish workers skip shifts because of irma. todd: helping hurricane victims right now. carley shimkus is live with all of that next. ♪ that's where i come from ♪ where i will be when it's said and done ♪ well, i'm proud as anyone ♪ that's where i come from ♪

fiery after telling workers to show up during hurricane irma. heather: this is unbelievable. >> unbelievable. people were told to evacuate. florida governor rick scott constantly on tv telling people to leave now because this storm could kill you. well, jacksonville pizza hut employees in jacksonville, florida were given a different set of instructions. their manager told them they could only leave one day, 24 hours before the storm. that manager also said. this you cannot evacuate friday for a tuesday storm event. failure to show up for these shifts, regardless of reason, will be considered a no call, no show and documentation will be issued. so essentially show up for work or face the consequences. of course, this is causing a big stir on social media. let's get to some reaction. mark says yes, because the profits from a few more pizza sales are worth more

than any of their employees' lives. debra says wow, pizza hut this is pretty cold blooded considering they were all facing a life threatening disaster. another tweet on the subject says people should return when it's safe to do so. they shouldn't be forced. now, pizza hut corporate has chimed in. they say that this manager was wrong to give people such a short window to evacuate and then come back. i mean, i know this manager was probably trying to tell its employees don't take advantage of the situation. but, also, who are you going to be delivering pizzas to when everybody is evacuated. todd: leaving friday before a tuesday event is what you were supposed to do. >> per the head of the state, leave. that's exactly what governor rick scott was telling people to do. he has more power than the manager of the pizza hut. he was told he was wrong in this situation. ainsley: thisituation.ains. heather: this is great the american flag.

>> >> this is inpirg expiring. video of a police officer picking up an american flag, take a look right there, laying on the highway after the storm. so the coral springs police department tweeted out this video with this caption saying even in the midst of a storm we are reminded of the love for our country and community, #hurricane irma, #september 11th. so, of course, this hitting home with a lot of people, especially yesterday being september 11th. jennifer says never forget 9/11 #hurricane irma and harvey. these three events show out of tragedy we have some heroes. monty also says i believe we call that patriotism, period. and then another tweet says god bless america. let us continue to work to become a more perfect union. so it's nice. after such tragedy to see something like that. heather: one of my favorite places in the entire world is van dyke. kenny chesney, that's one of

his. >> it's in the u.s. -- british virgin islands. kennel any chesney like many other people said he lost his home in the u.s. virgin islands to this storm. he said it is completely gone. totally flattened. now he has decided to do something about it. he has created a charity called the love for love city foundation. and he is urging fans to donate. he also said that he is going to be working on some new music to help with the relief effort as well. we can expect to hear maybe some more songs and that money will hopefully go to the charities as well. todd: scary thing. his home is very well built. if that got destroyed you have to fear for the other homes. >> absolutely. thanks a lot. heather: thank you. todd: hillary clinton's new book hitting shelves today. heather: next best wrote the best seller or her failed campaign and weighs in on her never ending blame game. ♪ ♪

yankees blew the game open. >> high drive left field. there it goes. see ya, offer the facing of the second deck. three run home run for frazier. todd: father with the home run. sad rays fan with the thumbs down. that, of course, catching fire on twitter. heather, over to you. heather: some people might be doing that for next story we are talking about. hillary clinton laying out a whole lot of blame for her 2016 election loss in her new book which hits shelves today. joining us now is co-author of shattered, inside hillary clinton's doomed campaign, jonathan allen, thank you so much for joining us this morning. like the thumbs down guy there so,. >> thumbs up for me, right? heather: yeah, thumbs up for you. hillary clinton she is blaming everyone except herself. >> yeah. she basically boils it all down to james comey and russia stole the election from her at the very end. there are certain live places in this book where she says i take

responsibility for what did i wrong. the conclusion she has at the end of this book is very much that this was something that was robbed from her. >> so, do you think that the book is really directed towards her base? absolutely this is not aimed at expanding, if you are somebody who likes her you will find intimate moments in here. talk about emotions she was having on election night. if you are somebody who doesn't like hillary clinton, you are probably not going to get very far through it. heather: what about the impact for the democratic party in general? we heard a lot of talk about how the democratic party needs to move forward, needs to move beyond the clinton dynasty and clinton family but they just don't seem to be willing to go away. >> what's fascinating is this is such a divisive issue among democrats right now. so there are a lot of democrats, including a lot of elected officials who wish that she would not have put this book out right now. not get them talking about the loss in 2015. get them talking about the future. at the same time there is still sort of a diehard base of hillary clinton supporters who want her to be able to have her moment

here in the sun. i think to some extent it's going to cover up the fact democrats are a little bit lost right now and they don't have that future message yet. heather: she is taking it out on the road as well during this book tour. shoonchts she is touring the country and going to states she didn't go to during the general election. heather: what do you think they do need to do in order to move beyond hillary clinton and bill clinton and chelsea clinton and all that? >> well, look, i mean, the clintons were the dominant force in democratic politics for a quarter of a century. barack obama won the presidency but the clintons were still there waiting for her to run for president. i think they have got to get somebody on their bench to really step up as a leader. they don't have that right now. have you got folks in their 70's and mid to late 60's who are leaving the democratic party right now. i think they are going to need a regeneration. heather: anything unusual that stood out in the book to you at all? >> i don't think there was a lot that was terribly surprising. i really thought the election night drama where she talks about her breath

being taken from her was pretty compelling. heather: all right. well, thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it? >> my pleasure. heather: we will read your book then. scattered. >> "shattered." heather: shattered. thank you so much. faith and friday chicken, how chick-fil-a is helping a group of displaced church go errors. talk about too close for comfort. you went believe how many illegals were crammed in this car ♪ baby, pull me closer ♪ in the backseat of your ♪ that i know you can't afford ♪ ♪

let me say there are zero good breakfast options up in that area. i understand why somebody would fly to go get breakfast. heather: tweet him if you are in that area if you disagree. todd: trustles, maybe. heather: "fox & friends" starts right now. have a great day. ♪ >> shepard: while irma has lost strength the threat is not over. forecasters say the conditions are still life threatening. >> humanitarian crisis. residents who stayed behind are dealing with the unbelievable damage. >> nearly 6 million homes and businesses in florida are without power. that's half the state. >> i know for our entire state but especially for the keys it's going to be a long road. heather: president trump ready to visit the flood-ravaged state of florida, but, first, tax reform. >> none of us fully know how the next six months are going to work out. there is one salute total absol. >>
