tax cuts for the wealthy at the expense of the middle class and at the expense of growth. now they're saying yesterday they're not going to give any tax breaks to the higher end. we'll see when we see it in writing. that was really news to me because it is basically in their dna to give tax cuts to the high end and have trickle-down economics. better jobs, better paychex, better future and when the middle class has more confidence, they consume into the economy for greater jobs. this is an important standard for us to have. growth -- i tell everybody -- >> house speaker nancy pelosi they're addressing the two issues just a couple of minutes ago talking about tax cuts, the

president leaving over the possibility that there would not be tax cuts on the wealthy americans. >> melissa: right now, you're looking at live pictures of president trump who has arrived in florida. he is a shaking hands on the ground there and trying to get a better read on what exactly the situation is in florida in the wake of hurricane irma, where help is needed, how bad the situation is and what the federal government can do to help. we saw him land just a short time ago and now he is walking around and greeting some of the relief workers that are there trying to get a hold of the situation. i think you can see him there in the background as we move in. and the white baseball cap, you can see it next to him as first lady melania trump as well. they are looking at the various areas around the state on the maps you can see in the foreground. where they may be needing

federal aid and additional assistance. we have seen so much destruction, leland, on the ground in terms of the amount of stuff that needs to be thrown away. >> leland: it's an enormous amount that needs to be cleared away, especially down in the florida keys and enormous amounts of supplies that need to be brought in. you can see the president was shaking hands with some of the coast guard helicopter crews and he talked throughout this storm and harvey as well about how brave some of these coast guard rescue crews are that were flying in to pull people off of rooftops, ships, throughout both of these hurricanes and he talked about how the coast guard had handled themselves and how the brightness of these crews was a great credit to the u.s. military. he's meeting with these various first responders. he's in fort myers at the airport now and then he's going to head to marine one to naples, florida, which was admittedly harder hit than fort myers, but

nowhere near the level of the florida keys where there was that absolute destruction and as we've always heard during these presidential visits, there's a balance. go to places where things are bad, but not where they are so bad that you impede the rescue effort is going on. >> melissa: he does this as we have this developing story that's going on in hollywood, florida, where we had that home for the elderly that they found dead bodies and they still don't know, that's turned into a criminal investigation. they don't know exactly what happened there, but the death toll is up to 8 in that situation. very scary. they have a criminal investigation going on. they're going to check all the other nursing homes in the area as well and he is aware of that situation and that's something that's terrifying, just the loss of life and the aftermath of people who are struggling for supplies. may be generators that are not

safe and not having air conditioning or water or that sort of thing. >> leland: the nursing home had some issues with the state as well. >> it's great to see the army, the marines, everybody. it's great to see the job that everybody has done, it's incredible. to think of the incredible power of that storm and the people with this task, thousands and thousands of people have their lives saved. also the fact that in the case of fema and the coast guard, they are saving people and saving lives. an example is harvey in texas, 16,000 lives were saved. nobody understands that. in down here is the same thing.

i want to thank everybody. i don't want to tonight see you next week, okay? i've seen you enough. i want to thank the first responders, on behalf of myself and my cabinet, melania, bless your heart. we see the devastation. we'll see some more now, unfortunately and i have to say that your governor, where is our governor? [applauding] the job he's done is incredible and you are very lucky because you have a great governor. the job that rick has done and we talked about all over. i must say florida powers life.

great job. [applauding] i will say they are way ahead of schedule. there are more electrical people in this state then in the world. from all over the country, they came. i haven't seen anything like it. pam bondi who is done in such incredible job. i want to thank you. [applauding] and elaine, right here. i have to say that working with the governor, pam, elaine,

working with marco rubio. [applauding] i want to thank everybody. again, i have to say what do i know? i don't know what rick scott is going to do. i hope he runs for senate. [applauding] again, i came down to say hello to people. the first lady and myself are honored to be here. now we are going to cruise some of the areas. as rick said, we have been hit very, very bad. thank you very much.

everybody, thank you very much. [applauding] so many of the cabinet members have helped. >> thank you, mr. president and first lady. i'm honored to be with you here today. there is great leadership here in the state. the resources of the federal government are prepared for rebuilding from hurricane irma. wherever hurricane irma goes, we would be there first. that's under the leadership of your governor and all the great

first responders. as the president said, we are with you today, will be with you tomorrow and we're going to be with you as we rebelled florida to be bigger and better than ever. [applauding] >> rick is going as we speak way ahead of schedule. weeks ahead of schedule and a lot of it is down in the keys. that's a very, very special problem. we are working very hard on tha that. i would like to ask your governor to say a few words. he's been absolutely outstanding, thank you. >> first off, thank everybody

for your prayers all over the world. i want to think the president and vice president. they made quick decisions, they surrounded themselves with outstanding people, they were constantly calling and saying what resources do we need? i want to thank the entire military, the coast guard, the navy. [applauding] they were always calling to say what can we bring to the table? i've been to the keys, there are homes just toppled. we don't want to lose any life. we've got a lot of flooding,

rain, wind. we are working hard to get power back on. we're down to about 25% of our homes and we all want our power back. we have high expectations to get our power back. once we get fuel back and her estate, we've got lines at the gas stations. we've got law enforcement escorts for tankers. we just want to make sure we have fuel. everybody is working hard. we've got national guard members making sure we are keeping people comfortable.

we have a lot of work to do. we are not done today. i know the federal government will continue, our estate will. we are a strong and resilient state. we are in everybody's prayers. thank you. [applauding] >> we are now going to be making a tour of the area and see some of the folks, make sure they're happy, tried to get them as happy as we can. it's a tough situation. we're going to go see a lot of folks. i want to thank you. thanks everybody and we'll see you later. media, we appreciate you being so understanding. this has been a difficult

situation and all the roads are almost now open. we can't believe we did it so quickly. we are very proud of the job that everybody has been doing. thank you all. [applauding] >> leland: that was the president there at the fort myers airport, thinking the first responders. you heard him talking about the coast guard's specifically that when on all of these rescues in the wake and talking about the work ahead, especially from governor rick scott talking about how they still have 2.5 million people without power, still waiting to hear if that was one of the can tripping factors to those deaths in that nursing home you were talking about earlier. >> melissa: congratulating these people from florida and they have restored a lot of power so far, but i think that's

more to the people who don't have the power back. congratulating governor rick scott and heading out the first lady in order to see how people are doing and bring attention to the areas and what still needs to be done. >> leland: he got a senate endorsement therefore governor rick scott as well. we're going to take a quick break. the president is taking upper naples, florida, we records on the ground. we'll head to naples when we come back. whoooo.

>> melissa: president trump and vice president pence moments ago arriving in fort myers, florida, when they got a briefing on relief efforts following hurricane irma before heading off to naples to survey the damage there. mike tobin is live in naples with the president will head to meet with more victims next. what's it like there today? >> it's quite hot here today and that makes it especially tough for people who are sweltering away without air conditioning. the president is just a 42 miles

away. that briefing included everyone from local police to the coast guard about all of the damage and the efforts to get southwest florida back on its feet, specifically to turn the lights back on. the president is going to have a very quick trip aboard marine one to the naples area, he's scheduled get a tour from the air of the storm damage then get on the ground, get out to some residents and meet with people who have been impacted by the storm. and hear their concerns. we anticipate that issue number one is going to be getting the power back on, the lights on, the air conditioning back on. this is the second or third trip the president has made to the hurricane ravaged area in just over two weeks. >> melissa: tell me a little bit more about how recovery is going where you are. it doesn't look like it's very cool, i can't imagine not having power in that situation. >> behind me, you see a load of power poles ready to be offloaded and replace those polls that were damaged in the

storm. you heard the president repeat those numbers, 2.5 million customers. the number is down dramatically, down by 1 million since yesterday. the latest projection is the east coast will be restored by september 17th, a little more pessimistic for the west coast. sometime in 22nd. that's a long time if you're waiting without power. specifically as we saw in that elderly home in hollywood, florida, it can be a deadly situation when you talk about the elderly or the frail. crews are working very hard out here. the president has been very complimentary of the cruise. we saw them. one was covered from head to toe and sweat as he was reconnecting the power. just the guy who was driving around sandwiches and cold drinks to power crews told me yesterday he worked a 16 hour day before leaving washington, the president was very complimentary of these crews, saying they were doing an

amazing job. if you're one of those people who has been sweltering away since the storm, no air conditioning, ice is a premium. it doesn't feel so amazing. melissa, back to you. >> melissa: i can bet. that is fascinating to see them stacked up like that. i hope they get them out and up as soon as possible. thank you. >> leland: a lot of work for those crews ahead. president trump is going to be landing in naples. we see a live picture there on my back alive as the president travels throughout the hurricane zone and this, the president answering a lot of questions about his willingness to play let's make a deal with democrat democrats, especially about daca and immigration. it has some republicans fuming. so are his efforts at bipartisanship sensible or fracturing his already divided party? will break it down and what it means. back live in naples when it happens. >> and inspired by the example of our own citizens, we should

be able to come together to make the government work for the people. that's why i was elected, that's why i ran. lease the 2017 is turbo for $299 a month for 36 months. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

>> melissa: a president meeting with lawmakers from both sides of the isle yesterday and an effort to pass both immigration and tax reform. president trump indicating that he is willing to compromise with the dreamers which has some conservatives up in arms. >> we want to see if we can do something with regard to immigration, with regard to the 100,000 people who are now not children anymore. they were children, now they're young people. we want to see if we can do something in a bipartisan fashion so we can solve the daca problem and other immigration problems. >> melissa: let's bring in isaac wright, a former executive

director for a former hillary clinton super pac. they are all over the map on this stuff this morning after the dinner last night. brian, where do you read things to be? >> the president is clearly anxious to get some points on the board. i think if i were in his team, i would make sure at the end of the game, some of those points were on my side of the scoreboard and it's not clear to me got what democrats are giving up in exchange for these bipartisan deals. >> melissa: to agree with that? >> the president is going through nine months of a failed administration, failed legislative work, but he has to look beyond that. hopefully democrats of the table will mean we have better directions for the policy and legislate of agenda as well as better outcomes to get those directions done. >> melissa: it seems like what he's trying to do is make a deal

with people who are willing to sit down and work with him and he tried to work with republicans and that didn't happen, but how far can he go before he alienates the people who brought him into office? >> the president's base is extremely loyal to him, there is no question about that, but i do think this is a short because i've read that the president's advisors are big readers of greek military history and one of the first lessons of greek military history is not to trust enemies bearing gifts. i don't think chuck schumer in nancy pelosi have the best interests of the president and mine. >> melissa: you do expect all of these people to have the country's best interests in mind and maybe what politics looks like as successful as a little bit of good and a little bit of pain for everyone involved.

no one knows exactly what they want, but you work together and get something that all sides are not totally happy with and everybody got a little piece of something. could we be going back towards something like that? >> my opponent draws comparisons to greek history, i take a piece of wisdom from foreign advice where i grew up. you don't talk to an angry mule because is not going to go the direction you want in the minute you get behind it, it's going to kick you. donald trump has learned that mcconnell and paul ryan and congressional republicans are the angry mule. they're not getting anything done, they're not going any direction right or wrong even with the majority, so he's looking beyond that for how to change the game. >> melissa: brian, it doesn't mean he's siding with democrats altogether entering republicans out the window. maybe he is just showing them that i need to go in a different direction to get this started and know you come to the table and tell me what you want. it doesn't mean they don't have a seat at the table now, does

it? >> there's certainly nothing wrong with working with the other side. the idea of a bipartisan deal is that there's nothing wrong with that at all. that's what everybody is hoping for. the question again is what do conservatives get out of the deal and at this point, they need to s themselves that question. >> melissa: may be to get an actual tax reform bill. maybe what they get is funding for border security, maybe it's about copper mines on all fronts. isaac, i'll give you the last word. could that be what conservatives get? >> tax reform is a primary example. don said yesterday he was open to raising the deficit for tax reform, mcconnell has pushed for tax reform to help the top 1%, trump previously had done that. you don't raise the deficit and tax cuts should benefit 99% of americans, now the top 1%. >> melissa: i think he's made it clear that he is not for tax

cuts on the wealthy. he said that some eight times in the past 24 hours, it's about jobs, the middle class. >> i think the president has moved in that direction. >> melissa: think you both. >> leland: great conversation, we had back to florida for more on the nursing home tragedy that occurred days after hurricane irma. now eight people confirmed dead as there is now a criminal investigation underway. bryan llenas on the ground in hollywood outside of miami with the latest there. in the president about to get a firsthand look at the storm damage, live pictures of the naples airport there as he takes a look at the federal response so far. he's also going to meet with some folks who are affected by hurricane irma. former white house press secretary ari fleischer weighing in on the president's trip and exactly what it means for his view of irma i count on my dell small business advisor

for tech advice. with one phone call, i get products that suit my needs and i get back to business. ♪

>> melissa: fox news alert, president trump is visiting florida after hurricane irma devastated much of the state. he's expected to meet charlie with victims from the storm in naples after surveying damage in fort myers. >> leland: moving down the florida coast and we've heard a lot about this on the east side of florida. hollywood, florida, where there's a criminal investigation now underway after eight people died in a sweltering hot nursing home in the wake of hurricane

irma. bryan llenas joins us now from hollywood, florida. brian, crime scene tape behind you there, calling it a criminal investigation. any arrests so far? >> no arrests so far that we know of, but there is a press conference happening out here. it is a sweltering hot and it's been that way since hurricane irma left, some 52% of the states customers without power. this is all leading to the tragic events that unfolded yesterday. yesterday, the fired apartment and first responders got called for 3 people, three separate calls that needed assistance here at the nursing home. they arrived to find three people dead on the second floor. first responders said that second floor was a sweltering hot. later in the afternoon, they decided to evacuate everyone out of the building, some 150 people and later in the afternoon, five others died. all in all, that's eight victims who died in this nursing home in the sweltering heat.

age 71-99. to make matters worse, this center is right next to a hospital, literally right next to a hospital in less than a mile away from a police department and we spoke to someone who is 83-year-old mother was inside this building and was evacuated. she's in stable condition and i'm looking for another nursing home. >> the hospital is right across the street. it was hot, you have elderly people on respirators and stuff and you have a hospital right next door. one of the hospital directors, i'm not quite to say which department, but he told me, we called them twice and asked if they were okay if they needed help from us and they said no. that to me is income principal. >> the nursing home said they had a generator, but they lost power. the whole building had power, they only lost power, they had a generator, but for ever reason,

they don't know why that generator was not used for the ac. they put up some cooling fans and some mobile units in the building. they said they alerted facilities and called florida power and light. and a statement, the nursing home said the center and immediately contacted florida power and lights and continues to follow up with them for status updates on when repairs will be made. outreach results were made to local emergency officials and first responders. what florida power & light came out with a statement and said in march, we met with broward county officials to identify top critical facilities that would require priority power respiration while these nursing homes were given a level of priority, other critical facilities such as hospitals and 911 centers were identified as higher priorities. bottom line, officials are saying in the state, including from the governor's office about rick scott, they should have called 911 if they felt like the people in the nursing home were in life-threatening or grave danger and for whatever reason, that did not happen. the governor now ordering local officials to go around and make sure they check nursing homes,

including right here in hollywood, florida. some 42 nursing homes and we know there is that's been evacuated. >> leland: senator nelson of florida tweeting out a couple of minutes ago, i've spoken to the head of the va, he has given me authority to move anyone in a nursing home without power into a va facility and necessary, press conference underway as news comes out of that. wheels and a back to you straight away. >> they're doing a great job on power, they're doing a great job historically. there's never been anything like this. fema is working along with governor scott, they really done an amazing job. the power companies, we have the largest assemblers of human beings ever in one area for power and rapidly it's being

done, so we're very happy. >> melissa: that is president trump on the irma relief efforts before heading off to florida this morning. just moments from now, he should land in naples where he'll meet meet with the storm victims. ari fleischer, former white house press secretary to president george w. bush and a fox news contributor. first i want your reaction to that. how do you think he handled the situation? >> the president has done a good job here. he's shown he is organizer in chief. he gets things together and i suspect what he says is tell me what you need, are you getting everything you need, and then that he makes sure they get what they need. >> melissa: do you think it's helpful? you're taking up resources by being there, but at the same time, you then have the director of the president who can do stuff. >> it's absolutely helpful. i went on a couple of those trips with president bush for tornado and fire victims after the massive fires in the west. the first responders who are

tired, they were working so hard, they get a boost of extra energy. the president is down there and says thank you, you're saving lives, it's so meaningful to the people who are saving those lives. presidents play a big role in this. >> melissa: that's great to hear. i want to turn into this other issue of the day. there was the dinner last night with chuck and nancy with everyone calling them now, this morning, differing accounts about what was said there. the president is making much more statements this morning that if anything, i feel like i know less about where we are on things then before the whole statement happen. what's your take? >> the more you listen, the less you understand. the president is in florida this morning contradicting what he said as he left the white house earlier in the morning. early in the morning, the president basically said that chuck schumer and nancy pelosi were right. we discussed an agreement on daca but did not involve the wall. he gets to florida and he says, without the wall, there is nothing. i'm confused. i don't know which it is.

he needs to be specific about i it. >> melissa: maybe he's giving himself wiggle room. you can pick up a statement that you like and say here's what he said. >> that could be, it's an odd tactic. it's confusion on both your allies and the people you meet on the other side of the aisle. frankly, i think you should push for the best deal he can possibly get along with legalizing daca. those kids should be allowed, they should be legal and it's up to legislation, not executive action. in turn, we need border reinforcement and if that includes a wall, whether it's 2,200 miles or 700 miles, whatever the security people say is a best ready to secure the border, that's we must do. we do that in exchange for daca, a compromise. >> melissa: what he said isn't necessarily -- there are people who are picturing the great wall of china along the southern border and then there are people

who think he's saying very tough border security, that's not necessarily the great wall of china. what is it really all mean and who's exciting what? >> that's how compromises get arrived at. there are legitimate ways for security. we already have walls over much of the border and democrats who are opposing trump when he said wall because they want to take the wall down over san diego and other places. i never thought donald trump was saying 2200 miles of wall when he made those promises. i thought he was saying stop illegal immigration. if that means a wall in some sectors, build a wall. if it means censors and drones, censors and drones. >> melissa: we don't have more time, but you say it's good to see these people in congress. this is what governing as a post look like. >> exactly. this is the business of government, this is what the executive branch and legislator should be doing. >> melissa: the president flying in here by the way on the heels of all of that. i didn't mean to cut you off,

but i want to tell people what they are they're on the screen. he makes his arrival here in naples, florida, . coming down as ari fleischer said to give a boost to those workers who have been working around-the-clock and sweltering temperatures and really making a sacrifice to try and help people. pardon me. this is the press corps, not the president. my mistake. >> that's not marine one, that's the osprey and i never flew in that. the press did. >> melissa: we are waiting the president still, although the prices they there, thank goodness. leave him, i'll send it to you. >> leland: the press is there as it is our live camera, mike tobin standing of i for their presidents arrival. we already heard governor rick scott earlier in the hour talk about gas and getting gas into florida. gas prices have gone up a little bit in the wake of these two hurricanes, but our next guest says that america's energy

independence courtesy of president trump will allow us to take advantage of the new global stage. we'll tell you how and why when we come back.

>> leland: we heard from the florida governor just a few minutes ago that gas tankers are now heading back into south florida to replenish supplies and while harvey and irma, remember this chart. remember for dollar gallons president trump appears to be celebrating. our next guest says america's growing power and energy market should have the united states rethinking their foreign policy positions. joining us, megan o'sullivan.

thanks for being with us, we appreciate it. let's accept the hypothesis that we have that you so well argue that there is this global energy abundance and the u.s. has entertained independence now in a way they haven't before. what we do with more power? >> first thing is we don't have energy independence in the sense that most americans think about it. we're not self-sufficient, but where must more less dependent than in past decades. what i'm arguing in the book is that if we were to maximize this as a source of american power, it's about more than increasing production, it's about taking advantage of all the changes that increase in production has made an global markets. how we relate to russia, china, or the middle east.

there's something i goes beyond economics. >> leland: first, how does this change things in russia? >> russia ends up being the big loser of this new energy abundance situation in the sense that russia is still going to be a big exporter of natural gas and oil, but it is exporting it to markets of other sources. america is now an exporter of those gas and oil sources. russia has to export under different terms, lower prices, to customers that have different alternatives. >> leland: we are watching screen left here the naples airport. typically you have a pretty good view of marine one coming in. the decoys are coming in, we don't know whether the president is on this chapter or not. the press has been kept outside, it's evidence of how quickly this a visit has been planned. it will go back to naples airport if we get a better picture of the president coming in. something the president has been

dealing with a lot and currently being briefed on almost daily is north korea. how does the u.s. energy independence sort of increase in americans energy, fossil fuels, our ability to draw more, how does that impact north korea? >> and impact north korea because it affects our relationship both with russia and with china. at puts america and a stronger position. energy and the north korean context is important because north korea is so dependent on outsiders for their sources of energy and it's an exporter of coal. if we are going to get to a place where north korea is under so much economic pressure that it becomes unstable, and will have to involve getting tougher on their energy supplies. >> leland: we appreciate you being with us, we'll have you back as we started to exploit some of these newfound powers we have. >> things were having a. >> leland: melissa? >> melissa: breaking yesterday here on speed 21, a deadly school shooting in washington

>> melissa: we want to show you right now the president has just landed in naples, florida, with the first lady. this is part of his tour of the devastation that has happened and florida where he is giving help to those who been working around-the-clock trying to get the state back up and running and those whose homes have been destroyed. you see the vice president as well. the president and the first lady about to get out of marine one and join them.

>> leland: a fox news alert. this just coming in, an explosion at fort bragg, that is home to the 82nd airborne, the delta force and the green berets. we are told that 15 special operations command soldiers were injured in a blast on the firing range, conceivably, that would be more injuries to soldiers during training operations. this comes one day after 15 marines were injured with an assault vehicle that was caught fire. john mccain at the time the senator tweeting out in the last three years, four times as many service members have died in training then in combat. more on this when we get it. melissa? >> melissa: fox news alert for you now. this school shooting in spokane, washington. this story was breaking during the second hour of "happening now" yesterday. the gunman killed one student and injured three others, but

two heroes in this story may have saved many more lives. anita joins us live with more. >> that's right. we are also learning about an ominous morning from the shoote shooter. hinting to other students he was planning something stupid that would get him killed. authorities say sophomore took the bus yesterday to the high school and a tiny town of rockford with two guns in his duffel bag. a handgun and a high-powered rifle. when at school, he opened fire and started shooting. he killed one male student and wounded three female students. eyewitnesses say at first, his gun jammed and that's when the male student tried to intervene, but he was shot in the head and killed. it was then that a custodian stepped up and tackled the shooter and held him down until police arrived. both are being hailed as heroes this morning, preventing any other loss of life. students say the scene was bloodied and chaotic.

>> it's shocking. i would never have expected this. >> i just started running. >> there was a lot of shouting and police running through the halls. >> students say the shooter had a completely passive look on his face during the whole ordeal. as for a motive, police are still investigating and looking through his social media accounts. his youtube account in particular. some of his videos are very violent and haunting. they show the suspect and his friends playing with toy guns and acting out a variety of different realistic shootings. we understand that the shooter is in custody and we understand a court hearing could come as early as today. melissa, back to you. >> melissa: anita, thank you. >> leland: back now with live pictures in naples, florida, as the president, the first lady, and you can see the back there of vice president pence. they went from fort myers down to naples with governor rick

scott among others. naples as they move farther south where we see the real serious damage on the west coast of florida. you can see the president loading up in the motorcade. we are told he's going to head out from here after his briefing about relief efforts and then go meet with some victims, if you will, people who wrote out hurricane irma and as you pointed out, melissa, 2.5 million people without power still. we saw mike tobin's live shot with hundreds of power poles loaded up on 218 wheel trucks, so there's still a lot of work to do down in florida. the president is going to be briefed on and report back on. >> melissa: we talked to ari fleischer because sometimes the resources that it takes to support the president on the ground in terms of security and all of that when they go to an area where there is a disaster, but ari fleischer telling us that it is well worth the visit

for a number of reasons. one of them being that for the people who have now been working around-the-clock and sacrificing all of their time and energy, the first responders, all those people that have been out there trying to help, it is a real boost to have the president of the united states, no matter who that is, come down and say thank you. also, they have the ear of the president and he is someone who really likes to get things done. when he hears from someone, this is what we need here, he has the power to immediately follow-up and direct resources. >> leland: real quickly, we have boom microphones were at the president is working, do we hear anything of his conversation? we are told the sound is up all the way and we can't hear much. we can hear the wind of the helicopters and other jet engines, but we can see the president talking to folks.

some were carrying signs, a lot of folks taking selfies. you do get the feeling that no matter how terrible the situation is, a visit from the president not only the first responders, but also the folks were there, certainly the president showing up and saying i care and i'm going to help means an awful lot. we now see the president starting to load up into the motorcade to survey some of the damage and meet with some of the survivors there. this is the white house pool that travels with the president, a couple of cameramen and reporters and they are often running between spots and thanks to technology, we are getting some of those pictures back alive. that's why you're getting the shots across the tarmac as the cameras are running. >> melissa: we saw the press arriving ahead of him and that osprey, that's what it looks like when they're coming in in order to catch on tape and video and digital. there you go. that does it for us for this

hour. i'll be back here in an hour, want to do it again? >> leland: i think we should and the ladies of the "outnumbered" have continuing coverage of the president as he's in naples. >> harris: will pick it up from there. fox news alert, president trump and first lady melania trump now in florida getting an up close look at the devastation following hurricane irma. you see them now. these are pictures from moments ago. they started out in ft. myers, now they're in naples and those are some of the areas along the west coast of florida that were prepared to take the brunt of this storm. now a lot of heat and power outage. utilities are down. things like the comforts that you can turn on your air conditioning and have water that you can actually drink out of a tap. it's many days past the storm hitting. we are dealing with it all right now and this
