field since. the good news is, despite the fact that doctors said it would never happen, he walked on to the field unassisted yesterday. taking some giant steps towards what could be a miracle comeback. we certainly wish him well. thanks for joining us, everyone. happy monday. here is shep. >> shephard: it is 3:00 on the west coast, 2:00 p.m. on panama city, florida. on your screen, the president touring lynnhayden, florida, a suburb to the left of panama city. in the blue shirt, that's governor rick scott or it was. along with president trump and the first lady, melania trump. lynnhayden was at one time a bedroom community but now part of the sprawl that is panama city, due north, not on the water, not on the gulf of mexico but on the north bay.

lynnhaven sort of surrounded by water. let's listen in to see if we can hear the president. to the president's right, governor scott in the blue shirt. to the left, the first lady, melania, in the white top with the blue cap with the blue 45. listen. this scene sort of replayed over and over in street and neighborhood after the next with fema officials there trying to give aid and just widespread calamity on the ground, house after house and business after business destroyed. lynnhaven is an area just to the north of panama city and then calloway, parker springfield to the east and slightly to the

south of it. if you were to keep going south, that would be tindle air force base, which was on a sort of barrier island. it is not really an island. it is sort of a jut that's surrounded by a bunch of water. all of that area just so badly messed up. parts of it destroyed. the worst of it stopped with about panama city. once you get to the west in panama city beach, things are better, certainly not perfect but better. the air why where the president is today, widespread destruction. he is meeting some young folks and some residents. let's see what we can hear.

>> he can't hear anything. we should let the audio get closer. >> the audio technician says we can't really hear anything. the president is talking to some residents with some kids in arms. think about what your weekend was like. know how lucky we all feel up here to be safe and sound. you consider it has been really hot down there and a complete disaster across the region. fema in there. the red cross in there. they are doing what t can. they have had shortages of everything you can imagine. they have been able to air drop food and water in. they have been able to restore some power in some areas. wide swaths expected to be without power for weeks. certainly, where the president is today in lynn haven, they have to rebuild the grid from the ground up. they have to replace the poles that are gone, the power lines that are gone, the entire system out. a very difficult day. if the president speaks, we will take you there. getting a firsthand look at

michael's devastation all the way across the region. the president flying over the panhandle in a helicopter earlier saying the destruction was for him really hard to believe five days after landfall at about an hour being, five days ago, tens of thousands are still without power, facing shortages of food, water, and gasoline. >> it is hard to believe when you are above it in a plane and you see the total devastation. you see no houses left, not even the pads are left. it is incredible. >> shephard: president trump also on the ground and speaking now. let's listen. >> it is incredible, the power of the storm. somebody said it was a very wide, extremely wide tornado. that's really what this was. this was beyond any winds that i have seen. nobody has seen anything. so they have done a great job. i want to thank you.

>> i have had the opportunity to talk to the president. everything i have asked the president for, he has come through. we are still getting water and food out. our search and rescue teams have done a great job getting around the state. highway patrol or national guard, they are working day and night. we have local crews coming to augment our local crews. we have a great sheriff here. i'm not sure where he is. we are going to do everything we can to get this community back to work. i want to thank the president for always taking my call and showing up. i want to thank him personally for being here to show support for the people here in panama city. >> the governor of florida, rick scott, has done an unbelievable job. everybody we are meeting, hundreds of people along with you, and they are all talking about the great job the governor is doing and everybody is doing together. rick, i want to thank you. thank you all very much.

look behind you. massive trees are ripped out of the earth. we have seen mostly water. water can be very damaging and horrible and scary, when you see water rising 14, 15 feet. this is really incredible. the job they have done, first responders, fema, the job they have done incredible. this road, five hours ago, you couldn't ride on it. today, you see the tree the are all pushed over. tod today, we are not having much of a problem. >> how are you prioritizing. >> we are going to georgia and the governor will tell you we are doing a lot, more than anybody would have ever done. there probably hasn't been hits like this. they say 50 years ago, there was one that had this kind of power.

that is a long time, 50 years ago. we are helping the people and helping the great governor. thank you all. >> how are you providing? >> we call it maximum relief. we are doing everything we can. how are you? nice to see you. thank you very much. everything okay? volunteers are coming together. >> in state has great people coming together to help each other. >> these are great people, thank you. >> we are going to hold right here. don't move. >> the president there with governor rick scott and the first lady speaking to some local volunteers, as you heard. fema administrator and brock long and others, calling for maximum relief. the great people of bay county and beyond certainly need maximum relief. when you go north from there, up

to little towns, shipley and bonifay, up near interstate 10, very much the same scene up there. again, lynn haven, north of the city of panama city, town after town after town along the coast, they need help and will for weeks and months to come. mike tobin is east of there in mexico beach, which really got the worst of it along with tindle air force base. how are things looking today, mike? >> reporter: you don't really see a lot of visible improvement. you see a debris pile, a massive debris berm that stretches the length of mexico beach. a massive pile of debris, they can take it away one bite, one truckload at a time. when you start looking around, you have a few houses still remaining, primarily the stilted houses and a few that we know by

talking to the owners, they went about 25 feet down with reinforced concrete in the stilts. those are the houses remaining, hurricane-proof. anything else was built in the '70s. when that storm surge came in combined with the wind, the houses picked up right off the foundation. you can see the roofs. that's where the houses are, several blocks away. how is this community doing? that's tough. this is a community that was entirely wiped out. we are talking about areas that are reestablishing power. bay county is less than 50% back up to power. nearby gulf county is 90% still without power. even if you talk about reestablishing a power to a place like this, there aren't any structures. they can't necessarily receive the power. they are a long way from bouncing back, shep. >> shephard: man. let's listen to the president now who is back in lynn haven north of panama city, handing

out water bottles. >> you get them ready. i'll be there. >> shephard: sort of a meet and greet going on there. that is lynn haven, north of panama city. phil keatinging is panama city, itself. hey, phil. >> reporter: hi, shep. we are at one of many businesses along u.s. 98. you see scenes like this all the time. this is a storefront. they now have the 98 east and west sign in their front office

of whatever it was. there is another office here. the la fuento bakery here, this strip mall, the color printing place, all of it absolutely destroyed. these poor people are hauling out what's salvageable to try to get into the storage and hopefully rebuild their bakery, which supplied restaurants throughout the city with some fine, fine breads and tortillas. there is a discount grocery store over here, totally blown wide open, the doors, the windows from the hurricane. the roof completely destroyed and ripped up and open. the guys that work here told me it was just crazy and also this place has been looted seriously multiple multiple times. the first things to go, the cigarettes and then the booze and beer and mine. shep? >> shephard: man, are they making any progress along 98? >> today is monday. thursday, friday, people kind of

cleaned up their houses. pretty much every house in every neighborhood in the city of panama beach has or panama city, rather, has debris. so then the weekend happened and now monday is the first day. all of these disaster relief guys are coming in with their huge 18-wheelers from as far away as phoenix and ohio. they are coming in, helping out. that has brought for a town of 36,000 people maybe four times the number of vehicles on the road. so all day long, us-98 has looked like this, an absolute crawl east and west. there has been sirens going on every five minutes. the work is getting underway. the power is being restored. there is still a boil water order in effect for all of man ma city and panama beach. also, curfews in effect from 6:30 to 9:00. down at the place we were at earlier, they said they had been looted numerous times as well.

there are only so many police officers. there is a curfew in effect. they can't be everywhere all night long all the time. multiple people have told me that looting has definitely been a problem every single night here in panama city. >> shephard: phil keatinging on scene for us. thanks very much. the president with a new theory on what happened to the missing "washington post" contributor in turkey. today, he said, maybe rogue killers murdered him. turkish officials said they have evidence it was a gruesome, inside job, that someone hacked him to death with the saudi government's order. we'll have the latest on this international investigation into the disappearance of "the washington post" contributor as the news rolls on on a monday afternoon. zempic®! ♪ (vo) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. oh! under seven?

>> i just spoke with the king of saudi arabia who denies any knowledge of it. he didn't really know. i don't want to get into his mind, but it sounded to me like maybe these could have been rogue killers. who knows. >> shephard: sounded to me like maybe they could have been rogue killers. who knows. the president did not elaborate on why he said rogue killers, maybe. fox news knows of no intelligence and no evidence to back up that statement. nobody besides the president has made that assertion to our knowledge. we do know that jamal khashoggi was openly critical of the saudi arabian government. surveillance video shows him entering the saudi consulate in turkey. there is no evidence that he ever left that building. turkish officials say saudi

agents killed khashoggi and hacked off his arms and legs. they say they have video and audio recordings to back that up and that they have shared intelligence with the united states. video and audio of that that we have been told left intelligence people dismayed. >> according to the recording of "the new york times," the highest levels of the royal court in saudi arabia ordered khashoggi's murder. a 15-person team flew from saudi arabia to istanbul on the day that khashoggi went into the consulate. there is video of them arriving. additionally, they say the killing of khashoggi was quick and complex and that the killers used a bone saw, like something out of the movie "pulp fiction." turkish officials say they are carrying out a joint investigation at the consulate. president trump says the

secretary of state, mike pompeo, is heading to saudi arabia, to meet with the king. saudi arabia is a u.s. ally and has very close ties to the trump administration. the crown prince and the president's son-in-law, jared kushner, are famously close. president trump has said the u.s. will get to the bottom of whatever happened to the writer. lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle say they will take action if they are not satisfied with whatever the president does in response. we have team fox coverage. benjamin hall live in istanbul, the city where khashoggi was last seen alive. john roberts is live on the north lawn. john? >> reporter: shep, good afternoon. the white house hoping to soon get to the bottom of what happened to jamal khashoggi. you mentioned the president is sending immediately mike pompeo, the secretary of state, to at least saudi arabia and maybe turkey. allegations in turkey that

khashoggi may have been killed on orders from the saudi crown prince. the president, just before he left for florida, put in a 20-minute call to the crown prince's father, king salmon. he forcefully denied that he or the crown prince had any involvement in khashoggi's disappearance an/or killing. listen here. >> his denial to me could not have been stronger. it sounded like he and also the crown prince had no knowledge. the world is watching. the world is talking. this is very important to get to the bottom of it. i think he understands that very well. >> shephard: at the moment, the president giving saudi arabia the benefit of the doubt saying maybe some rogue actors were involved there. certainly, people in the saudi hierarchy oppose him. there are lawmakers on capitol

hill from the president's own party saying, listen, if saudi arabia is behind this, saudi arabia should be sanctioned. the easiest to target was the $110 billion in arms sales that the president signed last may or a year ago may. the president says he doesn't want to touch that. a lot of big companies like lockheed and general dynamics and boeing would be severely affected if they canceled any or all parts of that deal. the president says they may suffer some consequences. he is not saying what those consequences are just yet. shep? >> shephard: ahead i'll speak from michael oharoran from the brookings institute. think about this. if the crown prince, that is alleged, ordered the murder and the hacking to pieces of a permanent united states resident, who was a columnist for "the washington post" and we go ahead and sell arms to the

saudis, what's the message there? i'll ask michael ohanran coming up. stay with us. [ upbeat music ]

i'm ready to crush ap english. i'm ready to do what no one on my block has done before. forget that. what no one in the world has done before. all i need access, tools, connections. high-speed connections. is the world ready for me?

through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than six-million low-income people to low-cost, high-speed internet at home. i'm trying to do some homework here. so they're ready for anything. >> shephard: continued coverage of the disappearance of "the washington post" writer, jamal khashoggi. in the building, the turkish report a saudi hit team murdered the man and hacked his body to pieces. benjamin hall is live in istanbul. benjamin. >> reporter: we were outside the consulate today. it is there you get a sense from how big this story is. from across the world, the media have descended. it feels like the epicenter of a geopolitical storm. 13 days, he hasn't been seen

since. all figures pointing at saudi arabia. they have set up this joint investigation unit with turkey and today finally after days and days of waiting, we saw them arriving to check out the consulate, first, the saudi team and then the turkish forensic police. they have been in there for four hours. we do not know when to expect their report or what format it will come in. last week, they did offer to allow turkish officials inside to conduct a search. they insisted it could only be a visual search. turkey saying they wanted to search with luminol, a chemical that shows up any traces of blood. turkish authorities say they know the exact place in the complex he was murdered. >> shephard: let's turn to michael o'hanlon from the brookings institution. he specializes in u.s. defense strategy. where do you start here,

michael? >> hi, shepard. i start with the 9/11 attacks. it helps put this in perspective. that was not a did deliberate act of the saudi government but they had tolerated a form of preaching that led to the kind of extremism that we think resulted in nearly 3,000 american deaths. we spent several years re-assessing the u.s./saudi relationship, investigating what they could have done differently to try to discourage that. we ultimately did most of our business as usual with them. we put a lot of pressure on them in some ways but we did not ultimately change the basic bargain, which is american military assistance and american arms in exchange for saudi oil for the world market. that's a very powerful bargain that has a lot of roots still in the needs of both countries and of the world in general. so i think what you're looking at here is there will be a lot of heat. there will be a lot of smoke. there will be a little bit of punishment. there probably won't be a

fundamental rethinking of how we deal with saudi arabia. we have to be careful because it is so likely we will come back to something approaching normal pretty fast. we have to find a way to make a strong statement, at least rhetorically with some symbolic measures. this is too egregious to paper over. >> shephard: michael, at the center is the saudi crown prince. three years ago when he was a 29-year-old defense minister, he pushed for a war in yemen, started a month after he took the position with u.s. backing, that's escalated under president trump. now, with a call for direct u.s. military aid. he pushed to allow women to drive and arrested those that dpem on -- demonstrated in favor of the move. last year, they detained the

prime minister of lebanon. that's not to mention generally the saudi's deplorable human rights record. are we bad at choosing allies? are we out of people that are reputable or is it just oil over dead people? is that what we have come to? >> it is sort of thicker than blood, the oil relationship, as my colleague, rachel bronson once wrote a book called "thicker than blood." the oil deepen dancy is there. we don't need saudi oil so much but our allies to. the saudis are, a bit of a bulwark against iran, an iranian influence. you mentioned the war in yemen. i have no sympathy or support for what they have done. they should be re-assessing is there strategy. the reason they got in was partially understandable.

they thought they saw an iranian arm trying to destabilize the broader middle east. sometimes this mbs character has instincts that aren't all bad. he has an extreme arrogance and a brutal quality in how he pursues his vision. we have to find a way to check that. just like president trump is trying to work with kim jong-un, who is a far worse guy, comparing the two. >> shephard: they are in love. >> we have to find a way to work with mbs and still send some strong signals and corrective actions. he could be the leader of saudi arabia the next 50 years given the way that monarchy works. we are going to have to work with him one way or another. this is an important moment to send our strong displeasure, at a minimum, with a cooling down of the diplomatic relationship, some bans on visas and rethinking which arms we sell for the yemen war, a few things in that category.

>> shephard: the president when confronted with this evidence that the turks say they have, that we are led to believe has been shared with the u.s. intelligence, if it was this mbs, who ordered this hit and dismemberment, the hacking up of this permanent united states resident, how are we going to have something resembling regular relations if that's what happened? >> we are pretty pragmatic or pretty cynical, maybe that's the way the world works. kim jong-un had his half brother killed by chemical weapons in an airport and southeast asia. a short time later, president trump is meeting in singapore and talking about their wonderful relationship. i think president trump goes a bit far with that approach. in pakistan, we have a frenemy there as well, a government, a new government. we have had governments there that have with one hand helped us get supplies into afghanistan. at the same time, they are helping the taliban stay on life support and direct operations

against u.s. troops and afghan troops inside of afghanistan. >> shephard: hasn't it been american push and american influence and american city on a hill influence that has told people like mbs and others, if you do stuff like this, you, expect severe repercussion from the united states? we are not going to play with you. if we continue to play with them and sell them billions of dollars worth of oil after they have, if it is true, have hacked a man to death inside an embassy, then what good is american oversight? is there even any anymore? >> i would like to at least put a little bit of the fear of god into them and make them wonder if we can sustain our military backup for their position in the gulf if this behavior were to continue. i don't think it is realistic to cut off the relationship or put

tariff in oil. you are right, the outrage you are expressing is right and they have to here it. >> michael, thank you. >> shephard: a very busy "newsday." we will get to president trump on "60 minutes" last night. a look ahead. stay with us. we had early on, was entering agreements with the epa on cleaning up the property. we're recycling over 98% of the products on site. the impact that this project will have on the community will be enormous. ♪ ♪

no mathere are over 10,000 allstate agents riding sweep. call one today. are you in good hands? >> shephard: president trump says he is not happy with some members of his cabinet. he did not mention any names. here is what he told "60 minutes" about the defense secretary, jim mattis. >> i think he is sort of a democrat. he is a good guy. we get along very well. he may leave. at some point, everybody leaves. people leave. that's washington. >> shephard: the president says he knows more about nato from a standpoint of fairness than the defense secretary, jim mattis does. he denied reports that he explained that the alliance exists to prevent world war iii. let's turn to jeanne cummings, depfy for the washington bureau

chief for "the wall street journal," "the wall street journal" parent company and the fox news parent company share common ownerships. jean, good to see you. >> good to see you, shep. >> shephard: he got close to some admissions on vladmir putin. >> i think i'm very tough with him, personally, the two of us. it was a very tough meeting and a very good meeting. >> do you agree that vladimir putin is involved in assassinations? >> probably. >> they shouldn't do it. >> probably but it is not in our country. >> that was a very interesting exchange. i would have fully expected the president to come back and say what he typically does and what he is doing now with saudi arabia. well, he denies that. putin denies that.

for him to say probably he is is as close to admission of something bad about vladmir putin than we have ever heard the president say. >> shephard: he wouldn't get in to that they meddled. he did but he, as you put it, he kind of mucked it up. hear, listen. >> they meddled but i think china middled too. >> why don't you just say the russians meddled? >> i think china meddled also. i think, frankly, china is a bigger problem. >> you are diverted the whole russian thing. >> i am not doing anything. i am saying russia but i am also saying china. >> shephard: he didn't ask the chinese to give those e-mails but he asked the russians to do it and by chance they did it. >> indeed. the president is fuzzying things up but the president is very

irritated with china for some standard newspaper advertisements they are running in iowa. some are standard and some aren't. china has annually done promotional advertising in the united states. so that part of it is not so unusual. in the ads in iowa, they are raising the notion of tariffs. that is what's really irritating the president. while there is no evidence china was involved in the presidential or working behind the scenes in some way, what might be generating his remarks today is that there were some newspaper ads in iowa during the mid-terms. >> shephard: he got into child separation policies as well and seemed to backtrack just a little. listen. >> are you willing to reinstitute that policy? you said we are looking at everything. >> i can't say yes or no. what i can say is this, there are consequences from coming into a country, namely our country, illegally?

>> i'm not asking to ask it again. >> you don't have to. it is the same as obama. >> shephard: of course, it wasn't the same as obama. it was this white house that put in the zero-tolerance policy and courts and judges said, you can't do that. >> yes, as our reporting and you all as well there at fox, as we all know, president obama had this option the way the law is structured. you can argue that this is something you can do. the obama administration chose not to exercise that option or test the limits of the law. the trump administration chose otherwise. we know how that turned out. >> shephard: did it sound to you like he was -- he didn't rule out reinstituting that policy? he refused to do that directly. >> that's correct. >> shephard: that's one of those as he might put it -- we'll see what happens. sound bite four. called for number one. this is about leslie stall asked

him, look, would you just say right here and now, i'm not shutting down this mueller investigation? we need to know what the russians did, when they did it and how. about shutting down the mueller investigation. listen. >> i don't pledge anything. i have no intention of doing that. i think it is a very unfair investigation. there was no collusion of any kind. >> you won't pledge? >> if i pledge, i will pledge. i won't pledge to you. i have no intention of doing that. >> shephard: anything new there? >> not really. he was very forthright. those were strong words on his part when it comes to the mueller investigation, that he has no intentions of doing that. it makes me -- what our reporting up until now has shown is that his lawyers and others are making the argument inside that the political consequences of making that move would be

terrible and maybe worse than anything mueller might find. they are making that argument. maybe they are making some progress. >> jeanne cummings from "the wall street journal," our corporate cousins. good of you again. thank you. >> thank you. >> shephard: much investigating to be done regarding this international incident with the saudis, what the money side of all of this is and how it might affect relations around the world. that's still to come. hi, i'm joan lunden with a place for mom, the nation's largest senior-living referral service. for the past five years, i've spoken with hundreds of families and visited senior-care communities around the country. and i've got to tell you, today's senior-living communities are better than ever. these days, there are amazing amenities, like movie theaters, exercise rooms and swimming pools, public cafes, bars, and bistros, even pet-care services. and nobody understands your options like the advisers at a place for mom. these are local, expert advisers that will partner with you
