back tomorrow and every weeknight from now until hopefully a long time from now. the show that is the sworn enemy of lying, smugness, and especially, groupthink. will be back tomorrow, but in the meantime, sean hannity. live from new york city. >> sean: all right, tucker. hope you had a right we can. welcome to hannity. we begin along the florida coast, preparing for potential damage of hurricane dorian. we also have a live report from the bahamas. it was absolutely devastated by this hurricane. sad what is happening. our thoughts and prayers are with all of our friends that have been impacted there. the death toll has now risen to seven. we expect more. we hope and pray not. we'll have more coverage of that devastation. also coming up tonight, the florida governor will be here. and we will speak to the florida

attorney general. why in the middle of a crisis would people go about price gouging? this is when people should come together for the good of your state, your fellow man, and your neighbors. this is not the time to make extra money. we'll talk about it. but first, we start on the ground at atlanta beach right now. bill, this is not your first rodeo at a hurricane. bill, what's it like that? >> sean, good evening. we are 5 miles east of jacksonville. you're right. 20 years ago, i was almost in the exact spot. it was an enormous storm, sean. it was coming right towards the final coast. the storm started to break apart. it weakened. that was 20 years ago, and now we are back here again, waiting for the fate in northeastern part of. i'll tell you, sean, this has been, especially for the

united states, one stubborn storm. they have waited and they have watched, and they are tired. i can tell you that after speaking with so many of the residence here in florida earlier today. at 5:00 this afternoon, the winds were coming out of the east. they shifted to the northeast. they knew the storm was on the move. there is a curfew in effect here. a little less than an hour from now. if the winds hit 40 miles per hour, the bridge is closed. this means you are branched back to the mainland is cut off. if you decide to stay, you will be stuck here to right out the storm. frankly, sean, i'm surprised how many people have chosen to do that. we have seen so many residents come out to check out the scene here on the serve and to see the waters rise. one of the mayors down the strip said that half the people in this town have chosen to right out the storm. listen, we can all be grateful that this is not going to be the bahamas, certainly not here in florida, but there is still

trouble out there, and by sunrise tomorrow, this part of florida, it will be wet, sean, it will be windy, and for the first time, this part of florida will see the effects of dorian. >> sean: bill hemmer, thank you. we are looking at these areas. i mean, the bahamas is just, look at this devastation. it is sad, unbelievable. we just have to hope and pray that people left and understood. the hurricane, hovering like a helicopter for with winds sustd at 200 mile-per-hour. we go to jeff at cocoa beach. jeff. >> you, sean it's really hard to get a grasp at this. strong winds, the next minute, you're standing like i am right now, with nothing happening. we're just 110 miles east of the storm.

it is just due east of us. right now, it's out there in the ocean. if you take a look over here at some of the vegetation, it's not really doing a whole lot right now. i think the people in this town have sort of been moving around. they've had almost a week to prepare. they waited in long lines for gas, for food. they've had their homes boarded out. many businesses have been closed for almost a week, not knowing when this storm would come true. i think for a lot of people, they just want to get through this right now. as it moves up to the north, things could change in a matter of hours. you never know about that. the concern right now, being, the storm surge. so many people living right here along the coast, flooding is a big concern. sean. >> sean: all right, jeff. thank you for that report. hurricane dorian is supposed to be off the coast in just a matter of hours. jackie, you've been reporting. here we go.

before sean, i'll tell you, the outer bands are starting to come through. we've had some crazy wind gusts. we are in a mandatory evacuation area. there's also a 6:00 p.m. curfew here. the real risk of storm surge. if you come up this way, you can see the water is just beyond this barrier here. this is a boardwalk. and even a no-name storm. this area had flooded before. storms will sit just outside of this barrier and the waves will lap this boardwalk. the hilton is actually flooded. these are the areas that police are really enforcing, that mandatory evacuation order. we have had sustained 30-mile-an-hour winds with gusts up to 63 miles per hour. people who live in this area are under mandatory evacuation. they are already asking when

they think they can go home. police are saying that there is some and seen us in those shelters, saying that people are already wanting to get back. the bands of the storm are just starting to come through. it's about 100 miles east of here. we can expect that as this path moves northward, we are going to see more of this weather over the next several hours. >> sean: all right, jackie, will get back to you later in the show. more of the destructive power of the hurricane dorian has been focused on the bahamas. eyewitness news reporter matthew is with us. matthew, first of all, i look at this and my heart sinks. i mean, it looks in areas, wiped out. the death toll as of now, seven. do we really know if the people got out of there? >> matthew: high sean. as of right now, we don't really know, but you are correct. it is confirm seven. but we are just a few hours

away. signaling the light at the end of the tunnel, the category 5 storm. more than 24 hours, after destroying portions, has now been reduced to a category 2. some say it's nothing short of a miracle. the prime minister, as well as cabinet ministers conducted a flyover to assess the damages from an aerial view, just an hour ago, the prime minister addressed the nation saying thed death toll has moved from five to now 7. 11 of which had to be hospitalized for injuries. three of them were actually children. the prime minister said from his preliminary review, parts have suffered damages including businesses and homes. as far as we know, it is completely underwater. based on the latest reports from

the bahamas, this storm is approximately 85 miles north of the bahamas. it's moving fairly slow at about 6 miles per hour. the tropical storm has decreased. however, tropical storms continue throughout the night. as of 2:00 p.m. today, the hurricane warning has been discontinued. however, we still are under tropical storm warning. the all clear is expect to begin for the entire bahamas at about 5:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. we are still monitoring the storm's activity. the message that we really want to get out is we are made up of a chain of islands. the bahamas is made up of 700 islands, actually, of which two were severely devastated. the bahamas is not entirely destroyed. >> sean: thank you. thoughts and prayers are with the people. i know, we have the single most generous country on the face of the earth. there has never been a country

that has used their power to advance the human condition, and every time, the united states steps up. just so everybody knows, i mean, you were a storm tracer. you know the history of hurricanes. let's start with the bahamas and what we are seeing here. this thing, i'm watching and watching. it's hovering like a helicopter. almost 200 mile-per-hour sustained winds. why? why so slow moving? >> joe: well, because this very. hurricanes, as big as they look are just quarks. it's nature's way of taking heat out of the trumpets. it's always trying to find a way out. and so, it senses the weakness in the bermuda. >> sean: look at this

devastation. i can't imagine. did we get enough people out of there? did they get people to safer territory? we knew what was coming. >> joe: i think that they got out of there. i know the director of the weather service, and we have a clients down there. they've been very aggressive from friday and saturday, trying to get people out. there's over 60,000 people living there. it would be a miracle if this death toll stays underneath what it is. >> sean: listen, they just have the opportunity now to go in. let's talk about the united states. let's talk about florida. let's talk about georgia, south carolina. it looks like a dead rush towards charleston, from what i can see from the different charts that you put out. what are we looking at, storm surges, danger? >> joe: charleston is the number one port concern on the southeast coast, because of the fact that you have water continually piling in. the storm is going to try to

approach charleston from the south before it veers off. so what you're getting here, they pile the water up, pile the water up, pile the water up. storm goes by. the water goes down. in this case, the bottom piles up. you are getting places where the water will be backing out. >> sean: we all watched, we are talking about a hundred miles, is nothing. just literally nicking the coast of florida. >> joe: they can't hidden there. between 25-35 north, what we call the horse latitudes, where the wind calms down. there is high-pressure there there. the shape of the florida coastline, the storm weekends and tries to stay over the water. only one time in 400 years has a big hurricane hit the northeast coast of florida from the east. that was 19624.

dora, and even she stopped. we saw that with floyd. however, where the coast changes to the northeast, that's a different situation there. >> sean: and its slow-moving. great job all we can. i've been watching. thank you. join us now from tallahassee is the florida governor ron desantis. governor, i know how much you care about the people thwarted. everybody watching tonight know somebody in florida. you see how close this gets to the coast. you know the storm surges. but florida is prepared for this. it's plain. how do you prepare for this. where do you station people in terms of being ready to come in and help people and evacuate and make the decision to evacuate? >> ron: well, we've been preparing for this, sean, as you mention. this thing has been slow developing, but we know it was going to be powerful.

initially, we were looking at a potential track that would ram against southern florida, come out at the gulf of mexico and then hit the panhandle. beasley, that would be a disaster. then, we hear that this is going to be more of an east coast storm. we obviously prepared for the worse. we prepared for it to hit land and because extensive damage appeared fortunately, it is probably going to end up staying off 60 miles from our shore. that means there might not be as much damage as there could have been, but there still will be damage. as your guest mentioned, there will be storm surge, we will see flooding in certain areas of florida, and there will be some wind damage. those local officials make those determinations based on risk. to your livelihood. heed those warnings. let's stick this out, stick to the plan, let the storm passed, and then we'll get in and help people on the back end of it.

but this is ben, i think because it was so slow moving, i think a lot of folks in florida, it's almost like, when do we know whether it's going to come for us our knots, and i think that's frustrating a lot of people. >> sean: a lot of people are reluctant or resistant. they dodged the bullet of the last moment. maybe we don't have to leave. i would imagine you only want to error on the side of caution. the worst-case scenario is, okay, you waste a little bit of time. you got to stop at the cracker barrel on the way out. you didn't have the traffic and the lines and shortages in the past. i assume that's part of a lot of planning. >> ron: and part of it was, we worked very collaboratively with our local emergency managers. all of our counties. you know, in florida, this is just part of life. these things happen. we have some of the best emergency personnel in the

country at both the state and local level. there's a lot of collaboration so that we are really working together to prepare for this in the best way that we could. i think that we've done that, and obviously, we'll see the damage that we end up taking. on the back end, the state will be there working with the locals. fema's been great. the president's been phenomenal. he's a great friend of florida. so it's really been a team effort from the county up to the state and all the way to the white house. see two very thankful. 50 miles. not very far. thanks for being with us. we wish you all the best. we're going to have live hurricane dorian updates all throughout the the show. we will continue to update you. we are going to turn our attention to the 2020 race to president trump and one candidate who has been an auditor disappointment to his comrades in the all new

democratic socialist party. that would be joe 30330 biden, struggling to connect with voters. a constant source of embarrassment. he doesn't seem to have a basic understanding of key issues and simple facts. as i said, joe 30330 is not pitching a fastball, he's pitching maybe a softball. his friends in the media are now taking note. does biden want to be doing this? "the new york times," you know, the liberal "new york times" writes "mr. biden is a potent and fiery." he can be unfocused and prone to misstatement.

it was reported oh, by the other liberal newspaper, "the washington post" ." look at this. according to the post, almost every detail in joe biden's story appears to be incorrect. in fact, well, yeah, every time sleepy creepy crazy uncle joe tells a story, tv tales seem to change. i guess that's what it looks like to choose truth over facts. yeah, he said that too. according to joe, 30-330. speak of the details are irrelevant in terms of decision-making if, in fact, i forget that it was rodrigues all the time, i've been in and out of bosnia. if i would forget that it was rodrigues, i believe, pinning a bronze store star on a young m.

it's irrelevant to the point. >> sean: no one needs to worry about 30-330 on biden. he has now given the formal vice president a very crucial endorsement. he has come out to reassure america that he is absolutely certain that the former vice president has a functioning brain. so democrats. you might want to listen to biden's wife. you might have to swallow, kind of hold your nose to vote for her husband. that's a ringing endorsement. or maybe you could vote for elizabeth warren, who has spent decades faking her ethnic ethni. and then, of course bernie sanders, who has never really held a real job outside of government, and he's a millionaire, but now wants to control all means of production. and, we can't forget

beto o'rourke. he wants to confiscate your gun guns. he just released a plan that would likely double or triple your taxes. basically legalized stealing. because you won't have any money left. then, of course, we've got comrade bill de blasio, the new york mayor. he is such a dedicated servant, a whopping total of seven hours of work. that's like the perfect dream job for a socialist. everything is free. you show up for seven hours. you get a check. you get retirement, all at the expense of taxpayers. he spending all of his time in iowa and new hampshire. he's really wasting his time, let's be honest. new york taxpayers are flooding the bill for security. he doesn't believe you, the american people have the right

to have a weapon in your home. the democratic socialist party is more extreme now than ever. 2020 is a choice election. america will choose. it's a tipping point. america's core fundamental principles, life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, our constitutional system, a lot at stake. this is now a defining moment in our history. we better not mess this up. joining us now, former white house chief of staff along with car road. if you are joe biden, you lose "the new york times" and "washington post" in one week. you pointed out the polls last week, and you were right. most of them show that he still has a healthy lead. i get the feeling that it is about to evaporate. >> well, it may. there is a tension inside the democratic party. nobody went into this race thinking joe biden was the perfect candidate. he already ran for president a couple of times and fell flat on his face.

i think the tension inside the democratic party, we think he's the most electable. he's not as liberal and as far out as some of these other candidates, but he is a little goofy, so, do we want to go with a guy who's sort of goofy and isn't as much in tune with us on all of the issues, because we want to win, or do we want to go with someone who speaks to our hearts from an ideological perspective. they pick elizabeth warren or bernie sanders. see one it's really a three-person race now, not a five person race. >> karl: i agree. last week, in my "wall street journal" column. she's going to have an early -- that's now march 3rd. she may have a bump from south carolina. but yeah. beyond that, may be pete buttigieg, but i find it increasingly difficult to see him not breaking out.

you mentioned mirror dolomite by de blasio maybe it's a value to have tom steyer on the stage, mr. impeachment, forcing other democrats to say whether they are with him or against him on the impeachment question. but yeah, essentially, we are down to maybe four candidates, may be five. >> sean: i'm beginning to think three, but i've always got to take smart people into account. your observations are smart. your thoughts. >> i agree with what carl is saying. but it's a very weak field. it's weaker because of the volume of the field. here's the question. the biggest threats to joe biden is the democrat party. can joe biden run a traditional d.c. fueled campaign in an insurgent democrat party. i think back to 2016,

governor bush had the problem within our own party. could he run a traditional republican campaign, fueled by traditional republicans in an insurgent republican party? and the answer was no. the amazing part about joe biden is that these 18 other sharks in the water really haven't been able to put a dent, even though you are lead into our segment was devastating every second of it. but for whatever reason, he still at 32%, warren's at 16. the rest of the field have fallen off. >> sean: i don't believe it. when "the washington post" does an article like they did, you are in trouble. guys, thank you both. we appreciate it. when we come back, or hurricane dorian coverage continues. we'll go live to our reporters. there on the ground. also tonight, rudy giuliani says that, yes, he tried to frame

president trump. coming up next. stay with us. ♪

>> sean: all right. we continue with a fox news alert. hurricane dorian, now dangerously close, within 50 miles of the florida eastern seaborne coast. now we have the fox news weather center, chief meteorologist with us. you've been watching. we see this, a little too close for my comfort level. >> yeah. certainly. i think we are going to have some really big impacts from the storm, tomorrow, tomorrow night, and friday. we have some really significant winds right offshore. this buoy is just about 15-20 miles right off the coastline. i think we are going to continue

to see that. the other thing we are seeing is a lot of the rain on the western side of the storm, we will see the rainfall totals and the storm surge pile up on north florida. but eventually, south carolina and north carolina. right off the coast in north carolina sometime tomorrow night. look at these big wobbles at the center of it. that's what it's been doing the last few hours. but then, watch this. very close here. most of them, in good agreement. we are seeing really significant land interaction. all the way up towards cape hatteras. this will probably a category 2, category one hurricane. you were going to get a wall here. hurricane warnings in effect for charleston. but watch what happens. we will probably be seen in some spots. 10 inches of rain. in addition to that, a storm

surge will definitely cause some problems in the carolinas tomorrow night. >> sean: last question. does that hit long island, new thanks so much. join us live from atlanta. rick, this is not your first rodeo ever. really tight. very close. >> yeah, well, at least so far, sean. they are so fortunate that it took that more easterly track on the atlantic away from the coast. they are telling us that we can expect near tropical wins. tomorrow, we could see winds 35-50 miles per hour. of course, when it hits 39, they are going to close and reopen them once the storm passes. they built these sand bags behind us to protect people from a potential storm surge of 3-5 feet on top of the 2-foot

tides, they are already higher than normal. we could see some significant water. it's unclear, but nothing like they saw down in the bahamas, where the death toll has now gone up to seven, and could climb even higher. it just slammed through there, demolished so many homes, and buried so much of that island underwater. a terrible scene down there. we know that the coast guard sent a jayhawk down there earlier, and they already rescued 18-19 people and brought them to nasa, but there are going to be a lot more rescues i had sean, and a lot more trouble down there, as we now focus on the eastern coast and the fact that this hurricane could actually impact more of us in the days ahead. >> sean: all right. thank you. that devastation scares me. those are chilling. rudy giuliani reacted to the report on james comey, saying the disgraced director tried to frame trumped by leaking memos.

congressman andy gibbs reported the next one on fisa abuse will lead to indictments. the brand-new book, out today, the liberal scheme to undermine trump, the g.o.p., and our republic. jason is with us. by the way, it's on amazon.com and bookstores everywhere. also with us, tom. it's powerful, but it's true. >> it is. >> sean: rudy said it's true. but it might even be worse. it might then go overseas, outsourcing, spying on trump and other americans illegally to circumvent our laws. >> is true that democrats were engaged in this, hillary clinton's campaign. you are seen in inspector general who spent a year and a half on this. we still have -- >> sean: do you have faith that he will get to the bottom of what he was up to?

>> i think that he will get to the bottom of this. what we know of what the judicial watch is doing, i don't have faith that they will actually prosecute people. that's what i'm worried about. >> sean: all right. premeditated fraud on a fisa court and having been warned that it's dubious at best. could sean get away with that? >> jason: no. you'd be in jail, and i'd be trying to get you out of jail. >> sean: you are saying that we will have a dual justice system. we want to have equal justice under the law. you are telling me that? >> jason: i believe in this attorney general more than anyone that i've seen thus far. i think he has the guts to get it done, but i have not yet seen the department of justice step up and prosecute one of their own, particularly at the highest echelons. so far we do. i mean, i have a laundry list. how many people did we have

before me and trey gowdy and others? >> sean: tom. >> well, you know what occurs to me is that james: call james cd hillary clinton committed some of the same crimes. i think the big news out of the report is the more that you look at it in terms of its impact and explaining the coup against president trump, james comey was a spy against president-elect trump. he went over there, and just before he was elected with his dossier, the illicit witness reaction or subject reaction, and recorded quickly for his cause, colleagues at the fbi. the obama appointees. after he was fired while rogan

dominic rosenstein and mccain we talking about going after the president. he was no longer there to gather intel on the president. as jason pointed out, there's plenty of information now to begin prosecutions. we don't need a report. we already have the outlines of the crime. >> jason: we were engaged in a systemic effort. they use the media for their own personal political views and beliefs and they put that out there to justify what they did. that is so fundamentally wrong. >> sean: there is no counterintelligence without the president knowing. what did rice know what did brenda know? what did james comey no? >> jason: of close obama knew.

>> sean: take the constitution of this country and tried it, because it will be meaningless. she took it so far, whoopi goldberg is calling her out. wait till you hear what a hollow word producer had to say about mar-a-lago and the hurricane. straight-ahead. i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis.

taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.

>> sean: all right. this is a fox news update. we are continuing to monitor updates on hurricane dorian. our own jackie is with us. jackie, i see wins picking up. >> sean, we are under a mandatory evacuation order. 6:00 p.m. curfew in parts of daytona beach like this one. not because of the risk of high

winds, which we are beginning to see. they are sustained around 30 mile-per-hour. we've had gusts up to 68 here. we are really under that mandatory evacuation because of the risk of storm surge. the tide comes in and the storm surge increases, we are going to see this water come a lot closer. you can see that a few of the waves have actually touched the boardwalk here. it's kind of dark out here. even in the past, this area has seen massive flooding. waves will come crashing up over the boardwalk. they even came crashing into the hotel behind me. police are really enforcing the mandatory evacuation in zones like this. also, substandard construction and mobile homes. that being said, people have had really a lot of time to prepare for the storm, so most people are in shelters where they need to be. there are also 17,000 utility workers from 37 states across this area, ready to restore power in the event that we do lose power here.

so people are ready, they are waiting, they are trying to see exactly what the storm brings. if there is any damage, it's going to happen between now and tomorrow morning. >> sean: stay safe. the hollywood hate machine is unhinged as ever. walmart shoppers, like me. i love walmart. i think costco, walmart, they are the best stores ever. look at debra messing, actress along with her will and grace costar. i've never seen the show. she actually wants to spread a list at an upcoming fund-raiser, apparently as some sort of intimidation tactic. it's getting pretty sick, pretty to dominic twisted, pretty dark. whoopi goldberg earlier said today that this is nuts. unfortunately, she did not stop there.

saying "the president is mentally ill." we have the lowest unemployment for african-americans under donald trump than we've ever had and hispanic-americans and record numbers of women in the workplace and youth unemployment. even a category 5 hurricane doesn't slow down the endless smears. hbo producer, david simon actually tweeted calling and begging god to destroy merrill longa . radicals, resistance, the laughs plans to rebuild america. fox news contributor mike huckabee. congrats on the book, judge. i don't even know how to respond

to this, because you cannot talk these people out of the hate, rage, and psychosis. >> you know, this is what i talk about in my book. this is another person in hollywood who is out to dominic for revenge. when you think about it, who is this woman who takes the words that other people give her to decide whether or not someone in hollywood should work or not work. this is mccarthyism. this is as dark as it gets. to say that you shouldn't be able to express your first amendment rights, you shouldn't vote for donald trump just because you are a trump supporter, you are a racist. >> sean: no. we are smelly walmart shoppers. we cling to our bibles and religion. guilty. governor, you're more guilty than me. >> i try to be. i really do. i want to be the most guilty guy

in america to believe in the things that really matter. you know, i call it god, guns, goods, and gravy. that means that there are certain things that we embrace culturally, but thank god for whoopi goldberg, who recognized that what deborah messing is asking for is too far. when you start going down the list and saying that these people support a political candidate i don't like, we are going to put you out of business, that is mccarthyism. i've got a list. >> sean: she bakes them for the media and they still didn't believe she baked them. >> my daughter is a lot nicer than me. i probably would have taken the pie and shoved it in the face of some of these people. she simply served one and said, hey, try it out and see. but she is a much nicer person

than her father. >> you know what this reminds me of? it's like you're saying to people, we don't want you to work if you support donald trump. we want you to lose your job. these people are out right haters and they want to remake america. >> sean: it's like humpty dumpty. stupid. he complains about fox. all right. thank you. when we come back, disturbing reports. this really me off. price gouging as hurricane dorian is inching closer to the east coast. okay. i can't say what i think of you. attorney general will tell us about it next. is a -excuse me. uh... do you mind...being a mo-tour?

-what could be better than being a mo-tour? the real question is... do you mind not being a mo-tour? -i do. for those who were born to ride, there's progressive.

-i do. let's see, aleve is than tylenol extra strength. and last longer with fewer pills. so why am i still thinking about this? i'll take aleve. aleve. proven better on pain. that a speaker is just a speaker. or - that the journey can't be the destination. most people haven't driven a lincoln. it's the final days of the lincoln summer invitation even. right now, get 0% apr on all lincoln vehicles plus no payments for up to 90 days. only at your lincoln dealer.

>> sean: we continue to monitor disturbing reports of price gouging during hurricane dorian and the state of florida. they are taking action. we will explain more as the attorney general. listen, i'm all about capitalism. i'm all about supplying that man, but i'm also about human decency, and if you're going to do this to your fellow floridians, neighbors, it's just repugnant to me. i know it's a violation of law. how bad is it? >> you are absolutely right, sean. not only is it immoral. it's illegal. for those of us were just trying to bring the states together, make sure that everybody is working to preserve life, protect property, make sure that people are heating evacuation orders, it's despicable to hear

about people taking advantage of floridians at the most vulnerable time. we're looking right now at about 2400 contacts with our office regarding alleged price gouging. that ranges from water, food. as evacuations take effect, it starts moving into the hotel arena. we are working day and night to make sure that floridians have access to lodging and thus the supplies they need. >> sean: it's bad enough that you have mandatory evacuation. a hotel room that would normally go for $100 per night or $150 per night. now, it's $350? >> ashley: you are seeing that hotels are going to almost double. the good thing is that we have lawyers working with them, demanding that when we get this information, demanding that these retailers lower their prices peered what we are

focused on right now is making sure floridians are safe, they are protected, they have a place to go, and preserving that information so we can go after them successfully. >> sean: okay, so people are getting in touch with you. especially with the main supplies. i get it. i'm all for supply-demand-profit. i'm a big believer in capitalism. but, when it's your neighbors. before you and me both. >> sean: this is a moment people pull together. this is the moment, it's not republican, democrat, liberal, conservative. we are sorry about your inconvenience. let's help you out. that's missing sometimes. >> ashley: for the most part, sean, floridians are coming together. retailers are wanting to help. they are ready with supplies. they are coordinating with our emergency management. how to get it here. how to get it here the fastest. i have to give it to my predecessor pam bondi, who really warned people, this happens in florida, during a

trying time, retailers need to be put on notice. we will go after them if they try to price gouge floridians. i am thankful to her for setting that stage. >> sean: if you look and examined the prices for what, the last 30 days, prior to this? >> ashley: correct. if the price grossly precedes about 30 days prior, there is a presumption that its price gouging. you can be fined up to $25,000 a day. it's no laughing matter. >> sean: attorney general, thank you so much for being with us. when we come back, a live updat update. off the coast of california. devastating. nobody can believe it. if you live with diabetes,
