considers that extremely monstrously cowardly if we were to do that. thank you for being being here. we'll get the word out about the bill sitting on governor newsom's desk right now. hurricane alert. hurricane ian is intensifying moving toward florida. residents are preparing for the storm of the century. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning and welcome back. i like the sunshine yellow, he said. >> yellow he said. >> bill: i'm bill hemmer, good morning. you'll be on the story for days now. ian made landfall. category 3 storm slamming the island with heavy wind, rain and high storm surge. it could arrive in florida as early as tomorrow. >> dana: tampa is bracing for its first direct hit from a hurricane in 100 years. here is governor desantis last

hour. >> there will be catastrophic flooding and life threatening storm surge. if you are in tampa bay and counties north and south of that it could be something that happens. if you're under an evacuation order. evacuate to higher ground that will be safe from the type of surge and flooding. >> bill: our fox weather team coverage considers. adam klotz standing by to tell us the latest. >> dana: first we'll go to phil keating. he is in a beach community a half hour southwest of tampa. sounds like a good place. >> it is. it is old, classic florida. the time to get out of town is now. no joking around at this point. most of the people in this town have evacuated already leaving it a ghost town. there is hardly any humans within the eye can see.

the brass monkey over here, a famous restaurant bar and grill boarded up yesterday and sandbags on the ground. across tampa bay mandatory evacuations began yesterday for all neighborhoods along the coast. the real issue is the bay itself and the gulf of mexico. so much water. storm surge could bring it up to as high as the second floor here. about 10 or 15 feet and the rainfall totals will be any where between 10, 15, possibly two feet in some places. it all depends on whether the storm stalls out and starts moving more slowly, dumping more rain or whether it speeds up quick. sandbagging operations have been going on all week long up and down the state. a lot of places were do it yourself, bring your own shovel. long lines of people very seriously concerned. county leaders are warning of an ominous near future for this entire region. the evacuation order is in

effect and police checkpoints are in force keeping those without official business away and out of danger. the situation is definitely very serious now. these guys are just finishing up looks like industrial type of hurricane shutters to protect from flying debris. so they should be done in a few hours. the worst of the storm is expected tomorrow. the first outer bands of rain from this hurricane are already impacting the keys as well as broward and miami-dade county. it is definitely going to be a dangerous storm by all accounts here. it could make landfall. the actual landfall south of here in venice. there is more than 30 hours from landfall actually happening. bottom line, this really could be the worst storm that the tampa bay region has seen in 100 years. dana. >> dana: good to have your expertise. you have covered many of these. we'll be in touch.

>> bill: meteorologist adam klotz with the latest on the storm's track. >> this large, powerful storm moved across cuba early this morning. still a defined powerful eyewall there. usually you interact with land and maybe slow down a little bit. it looks like a big, strong storm still as we continue to track this thing lifting to the north there with winds at 130 miles per hour running up to 120 miles per hour. if i could get my graphics back, get back in front of the camera, guys, if that's at all possible. okay. so this is the fore cast track. that's what i'm looking for. hurricane ian. we'll be in the fort myers stretching to tampa. this is a wide area where you could see damaging conditions. the hurricane warnings from fort myers stretching to tampa is where we'll spend so much time with this particular system.

your fore caste lifting to the north. a track can shift to the east or west. it happens when the storm slows down. boy does it slow down. thursday morning 120 miles per hour and then you get into thursday evening hardly any movement with this system. the problem what you think about with something like this that slows down this much is how much time you will look at the winds just pushing walls of water, rounds and rounds of rain, winds getting there and then just lingering there. so all of that sea water gets pushed up and then the storm surges begin to climb. we have storm surge warnings. that will be the biggest story with this. i'll leave you with one last graphic, bill, because fairly wide area here. everything in the red maybe up to ten feet of storm surge. an absolute wall of water that could do a lot of damage. >> bill: the warnings about a slowing system is no good. we'll hope for the best there.

adam will be back with you. thank you so much. evacuation orders in effect for parts of tampa and st. pete. the public information david connor will join us later this hour. you want to track this thing 24/7. check out fox weather and download the app. >> dana: unaccompanied minor children as 267,000 since president biden has taken office. the most encounters in one month was nearly 19,000 back in july of 2021. matt finn live in eagle pass, texas with the latest. hi, matt. >> we want to show you fresh video. our camera captured a group of a few hundred migrants who just crossed into the united states this morning. men, women and children. here at the border so often we

see young migrant children of all ages in extreme conditions, oftentimes intense heat. the children look tired, hungry, exhausted or sometimes young children are being held by adults as they make the potentially deadly trek across the waters of the rio grande river. latest numbers from u.s. customs and border protection shows 267,000 unaccompanied minors have now been counted at the southern border since president biden took office. the most recent update shows that 11,395 unaccompanied minors were apprehended in august alone. in the month of july there was an average of 1,363 minors in custody every single day. unaccompanied minors are considered children who don't have a parent or guardian with them and we know unaccompanied minors are subject to all types of threats including human trafficking. we're told just because you see a child in the presence of an adult or even being held and

cared for by an adult does not mean it is their parent or guardian. u.s. border patrol says many of the unaccompanied children are so young that they are unable to provide names or phone numbers of family so border patrol agents sometimes rely on handwritten notes or information written on their clothing or their bodies. dana. >> dana: matt finn, thank you. let's bring in ohio republican congressman mike turner. the numbers are strayingering. the growth in unaccompanied minors each month since biden took office since january of 2021. a steady increase, sir. >> it is heartbreaking. what you see in these numbers is the real impacts upon individuals and certainly some of the most vulnerable people that we see crossing the border. they've had a very treacherous journey. all as a result of the failed biden policies where they have open border encouraging people

to risk the lives of their children and to send them up to the border. now, the administration claims that the border is secure but it clearly is not as we see the pictures. over 2 million people have been apprehended crossing the border just in the past year. now to give you some perspective in southwest ohio around dayton 1.2 million people who live there. this is more than people who reside in the entire community who have gotten up and walked across the border. with these children you see some of the worst conditions and the worst effects. this is completely the result of biden declaring in effect the border open and welcoming people to come. >> bill: we get lost in the numbers. talking about unaccompanied children. no mom, no dad, no aunts, no uncles, the numbers are 267,000. for comparison, donald trump had 10,000. 10,000. >> dana: that's a lot. >> bill: it's a lot but a

fraction of what we're seeing now. >> they don't just show up on the border. not they are just transported from their homes of safety to the border. they have made a treacherous pass. many having the most brutal conditions and some of the most heartbreaking conditions. all a result of the fact that this administration will not secure the border. the fact that they have declared the border open and welcoming these numbers are the result of the administration calling people to come into our country. >> dana: another topic that we want to get to we're following the story about the pro-life activist who was arrested at his home in pennsylvania. there is a december crap an see what the wife says happened. she says there were 25 agents, lots of guns drawn. the f.b.i. said no swat operators were involved. f.b.i. agents knocked on the door and asked him to exit the residence. he did so and taken into custody without incident pursuant to an indictment. senator hawley is calling on the

f.b.i. to answer for more. >> what we're concerned about is unequal application of the law. we're worried about persecution, individuals persecuted because of their beliefs or political a-- i filliation. even if you accept the accusations as true. it doesn't justify this level of an invasive, confronting arrest or the f.b.i. going to his home. many times people especially when there is a non-violent. not like this guy is a gunrunner. no major threat to his family or the community. they can ask people to even surrender. they can approach them in the driveway away from their family. they don't have to escalate this and make it the most intrusive. i think we're concerned about a abuse of discretion and someone being persecuted for their beliefs or political affiliation. >> bill: sounds like there are more questions out there.

six weeks from today you have a mid-term election. you are from ohio. what happens? what does america decide? >> i think people are very fed up with what they're seeing from the biden administration and want it stopped. they want inflation to be reigned in. it is a direct result of this administration's policy. their out of control spending is causing pain and inflation at the grocery store and for their families and understand they are at war, policies against energy are costing them money at the pump and making it more difficult for them to provide for their families and know that this unsecure border is resulting in human tragedy as you were just reporting but also an unbelievable effect to our country and a burden upon our nation. >> dana: republicans sweep it? >> everyone wants these policies stops and unless there is a change in the house of representatives this administration will continue with policies that are unpopular and hurting america. >> dana: thank you, good to have

you. >> these protests are about the legitimate aspirations of the ranian people to exercise peacefully the rights that are as much there as any where else. >> bill: the president there with a chilling warning for protestors in his country. the backlash after a woman was killed for violating the country's dress code is the claim by those in the streets. >> dana: it's like the plot of a blockbuster movie. nasa purposely slamming a spacecraft into an asteroid and we'll talk about the importance of this impact. security of cash in the bank.

protection as they can for their homes. we saw the line of cars that charles watson was tracking. it goes all the way around these big two-block areas. people are trying to move as quickly as they can. it is a big one. the storm track right here. looking at key west right about now. we'll continue to bring you all the video and coverage that we have. if there is another update from the governor of florida we'll bring it to you live. >> bill: fox news alert. iran's president warning its own people they'll be dealt with decisively after days of protests over the death of a woman who died in police custody. she was 22. a woman accused of violating the country's dress code. tehran is accusing the u.s. of using the protests to weaken the country. michael allen, managing director of beacon global strategies. we've been here before. how much does this situation now compare to what we have seen

over the past 12 years? >> i think this is more intense. you may recall during the obama administration there were significant protests from the green movement. i don't think president obama expressed enough solidarity with them then and i think the biden administration ought to look to be more aggressive and more creative and finding ways for the iranians to access the interneat and communicate so they can organize. popular sentiment is against this terrible, harsh regime. >> dana: he said washington is trying to weaken iran's stability and security. ignoring the presence of million of the streets in support of the system. are we ignoring that? >> i haven't seen it either. when you have to say something my people will be dealt with decisively is a threat and something you don't want to hear. instead i think the biden administration is too eager to try and turn the page and go straight into a nuclear deal

with iran. i wish they had stayed harsher with sanctions for a longer period of time to maybe condition the iranian regime into making meaningful compromises so they wouldn't be such a terrible effect on the region and for the united states national security. >> bill: part of the regime's tactic is to shut down the internet. how do we keep it operating? >> star link, something he lon musks country. i hope our intelligence community is working hard on this. i hope our allies around the world are working hard on this. this is -- we need to think creatively so they might be able to communicate with each other to organize against such a brutal and repressive regime.

>> dana: president biden was on 60 minutes talking about the iran canuck lair discussions. >> iran has continued to try to add extra issues to the negotiation that were simply not going to say yes to. we won't accept a bad deal. the response they've given to the last proposals put forward by our european partners have been very significant step backwards. >> dana: i was in west virginia so i didn't see that. that was blinken, not biden. he is his secretary of state. is this deal going to fizzle or will they string it along for the next couple of years? >> i think it's fizzling despite every effort from the biden administration to try to keep it alive. i think their philosophy is if we can deal with the nuclear file over time we'll deal with the fact they are a state sponsor of terrorism and brutally repressive on human rights. it is a flawed way to look at it. i think they are trying to keep it on life support so the

administration can get a so-called foreign policy win. >> bill: last question. the green movement, the green revolution in iran started in 2009. as you rightly point out barack obama was president. joe biden was vice president. has there been any express of regret that administration was not more aggressive in supporting those who went into the streets then? >> i think president biden has expressed a small amount of solidarity with the iranian people. that's a change from the way that president obama did it. is it enough? i think that remains to be seen. i think we need to put tangible ways on the ground for iranians to be able to organize and communicate with each other so they can control their own fate. we shouldn't be for regime change but what the ran jane people want. >> dana: are they in increasing danger as the regime is embarrassed? >> i think so. remember last time they got on

motorcycles and beat people brutally. more of that is in stock. >> bill: michael allen, great to have you on. >> dana: great to see you. >> bill: you are welcome to come back. >> dana: all eyes on ian as florida prepares for a possible direct hit. the storm in space. we'll have the latest what residents are doing to get ready for that. many blue cities are experiencing a major surge in violent crime. jen psaki said it may be too late for democrats in the mid-terms. >> if it is a referendum on the president, they will lose. they know that. they also know that crime is a huge vulnerability for democrats. i would say one of the biggest vulnerabilities. the good news? so has the value of your home. and maybe a lot more than you think. if you need cash to stay ahead, call newday. use your va home loan benefit to borrow up to 100% of your home's value. not just 80% like some other lenders. take out an average of $60,000

>> what we have here is really historic storm surge and flooding potential. there are evacuation orders in place in all these counties from pinellas down to the fort myers area.

our recommendation is to heed those evacuation orders. >> dana: florida governor ron desantis underscoring the serious threat posed by hurricane ian. the storm is strengthening. officials are urging hundreds of thousands of people to leave their homes. there is a potential 10-foot storm surge. >> good morning, we're watching hurricane ian intensify yet again. it made landfall in western cuba. about 40 mile stretch. whenever there is land interaction you look at hurricanes potentially starting to weaken. not the case. still a category 3 storm with 125 mile-per-hour sustained winds and the eye well defined spilling into the eastern gulf posing a threat for the gulf side of florida. when we look at those impact you just mentioned the storm surge. it goes in tampa bay all the way

toward charlotte bay and fort myers. the warning has expanded. major concern. the system will stall out and slow down wednesday into thursday. it will open up a window of opportunity for more rainfall. when do the impacts felt? fort myers late tonight and you will feel that impact even inland toward orlando into the middle half of the week. a long ways to go. a lot to unpack with hurricane ian. >> dana: steve, thank you for that report. let's bring in david connor, lead information officer for pinellas county. what is the most important thing you want the public to know? >> the most important thing we want the public to know. this is the time to stop thinking about acting and it's time to act. we have ordered evacuations for residents in our zones a, b, c and all mobile home and trailer parks. that's because like your meteorologist talked about we're anticipating life-threatening

storm surge. a wall of water affecting those areas and people don't have to go far. they don't have to drive to georgia. they just need to get out of an evacuation zone. we anticipate experiencing the first storm-force winds tomorrow morning around 2:00 a.m. it might change by an hour or two. at this point if someone is in an evacuation zone and haven't left or have a loved one there and they haven't left that's a conversation and action that needs to take place. >> dana: how do you encourage the complacent to get going? >> here in tampa bay, we had a pretty devastating near miss back with hurricane irma. it hit a hundred or so from us. this storm may go a little bit one way or the other but it is a huge storm. 300 mile-wide storm. historic amounts of rain and

we're talking a large storm surge. it is better to be wrong and safe. it is better to evacuate and say that wasn't necessary. it is unlikely rather than to be wrong and in harm's way. >> dana: you have had such a huge number of people move into the area recently. perhaps if you're new to the area you will take these warnings very seriously. i'm curious about the great number of population increase that you've had in the last even 15 years. >> you know, we are fortunate that we maintained accurate counts of how many residents we have living in all of our different evacuation zones as well as estimates of how many of those residents would need public sheltering. and we do mass in reverse. we know we need everybody out of here and need to move 300,000 bodies it's why we announced

zone a effective yesterday night at 6:00 p.m. and zones b and c evacuations this morning at 7:00 a.m. we are trying to give people enough time to get out safely. >> dana: david connor, lead public information officer and a very good one in pinellas county. i'm sure we'll see you again soon. >> thank you. >> bill: the white house defending president biden's record on crime as the former white house press secretary jen psaki calls the issue a huge vulnerability for the party heading into the mid-terms. recent polling, 69% of voters say crime is a highly important issue. republicans lead by 14 points on the party america trusts to handle it. peter doocy part of the change from yesterday, north lawn today. >> good morning, bill. that r plus 15 in the "washington post" abc poll is republican's biggest advantage on the issue of crime since

1991. >> in reality, when we speak with community leaders in communities that are really suffering dramatic escalation in violent crimes is they want more police on the street, they want more prosecutors in order to keep people in jail, and oh by the way they would like more activities for their children so that their kids have positive things to do. >> governor youngkin is referring to clips like this. a homeless man chasing and beating a stranger in new york. back out on the streets admitting beating his mother to death. white house officials saying they're giving money to big and small cities to beef up police departments. white house officials aren't willing to say whether or not they think the money is helping. >> does president biden think america's big cities are safe? >> it is not a yes or no question. it is very much a question of what has he done, that's how we

see the question, what has he done to make sure that cities and it doesn't matter if it's a big or small city, doesn't matter in a red or blue state. >> at one point during our exchange yesterday careen brought up a new times investigation a big driver of the 20% increase in debts and robberies in big cities has been inflation. bill. >> peter, thank you. peter doocy, north lawn. >> dana: it is all connected. the countdown to the mid-terms is underway. 42 days to go. we're watching a close race for governor in arizona where abortion is now shaping up to be one of the very top issues. senior correspondent alicia acuna live in phoenix with the details. hi. >> yeah, everybody needs to stay with me on this one. it can get confusing. there was a new court ruling and a new law on abortion that has

thrown a wrench into the g.o.p. strategy to keep the message on the economy, crime and border. on friday a county judge lifted a ban on a law created before arizona was a state that bans all abortions unless the mother's life is in danger. the ruling came a day before a separate law went into effect that allows for an abortion up to 15 weeks. both laws are on the books which has created confusion. planned parenthood canceled future appointments. the democrat running for governor called the ruling a terrible blow to reproductive freedom. attorney general believes the 1901 statute takes precedence over the 15-week law. governor ducey says it is the other way around. >> confusion and trying to hide from the deeply unpopular position that this 1901 ban in and provide cover for republicans. they know this will hurt them at

the ballot box. >> g.o.p. gubernatorial candidate was asked by maria bartiromo her thoughts on the ruling. sxwloo i'm pro-life and never backed away from that and never will i. i want to protect lives and i want to help women. we've got to make sure we're giving women the support they need. i'm all for healthcare for women. >> in the senate race republican blake masters did not spobd to a request for comment. democrat incumbent senator kelly leading in the polls says he will defend abortion access. fox news poll found abortion is a top issue among arizona voters. in-person voting begins in 15 days. >> dana: we'll watch it. thank you for being in arizona fours. >> bill: prepare yourself for sticker shot. the new estimate of the cost of president biden's student loan hand-out. you know who pays for that. also as inflation soars possible

new rules for airline travel. kennedy will join us next. think he's posting about all that ancient roman coinage? no, he's seizing the moment with merrill. moving his money into his investment account in real time and that's... how you collect coins. your money never stops working for you with merrill, a bank of america company. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

>> bill: just watching this hurricane. it will be a big one moving its way into florida, and then up the west coast. the guest that dana spoke to about 15 minutes ago said around 2:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. so we're talking not too long from now they will feel the force of this hurricane on florida's west coast. so it is getting closer. moving about 12 miles per hour right now. which is fast for a storm this size. the expectation it will slow down, the worst scenario you can get. it will be a big part of our day throughout the day as the sandbagging starts and that right there is the southern-most point in key west, florida. the lashing continues and you will watch that picture for the next day in key west, florida. that's the update watching the

storm. >> dana: president biden's student loan relief program will cost the federal government $400 billion according to a new analysis from the congressional budget office. some estimates it would be even more. let's bring in kennedy from fox business. this is done by the white house saying we're going to do this. congress has apparently been struck out of the role. >> nancy pelosi said pretty forcefully the president cannot have student debt relief without congressional action. she should have been right about that. if there were proper channels, then we would have had the cbo score beforehand. it doesn't really help that the cbo says it will cost at least $420 billion. that means people who have never gone to college, people who have an incomplete college education are the ones who will be on the hook for the 30% of the country who actually goes out and gets a degree. my biggest problem with this has always been there is no accountability for the schools themselves.

they now know that there is more free money. they are not changing the system at all. so dana knows my daughter. she is 17 looking at colleges right now. a high school senior. so they have this perception that college is going to be free. it's not. someone is going to be on the hook for that. >> bill: it could be the most expensive executive action in history some believe. congress didn't score it. >> the "wall street journal" said it's great to be king. it is for king charles. he doesn't have to do anything. joe biden, our president, should not be acting like a king and not be able to make decisions like this and why you are going to see court challenges here because it is just too expensive and with inflation as it is, this will only exacerbate the inflationary environment. >> dana: 42.4 million people are eligible for relief. they aren't means testing it. >> no, they're not. that's a great point. yes, there are people in this

country who have a hard time paying off their student loan debt. maybe we have to have a more surgical approach. especially to black and latino women who have had the hardest time securing and paying off those loans. that's a completely different conversation. but here you have over 40 million people who are going to be helped by this. the funny thing if you look at voting patterns and millennials and gen z, they are concerned about it. it is not a guaranteed vote for democrats. if this generational theft is a ploy to get younger, longer-term voters it's immoral and disgusting. >> bill: to the tune of $420 billion. joe manchin might not get his pill through. it has a poison pill. he would led the feds socialize

the cost of renewable energy on states. the point they are making is washington would control the transmission lines as they move energy across the country. >> think how vastly different parts of your state are. a big state like california. you have different energy needs in different parts of the state. that means there are different bodies who oversee that. it is federalism and within the states themselves they are cut up in certain ways. renewable energy, fossil fuels can get to where they need to go based on transmission lines. what this would do is create the post office for those transmission lines. if you want to waste a bunch of time and get not a lot done you head to the post office. if i need energy in a hurry the last thing i want is the federal government overseeing all of this especially the greenies who will pick and choose winners to make energy more expensive and less accessible for people who need it more. >> dana: manchin said he wanted

to go forward with the inflation reduction act so he could get the permitting. now the poison pill could be its downfall. you get all the inflation that comes with the inflation so-called reduction act re act and none of the permitting reform. >> bill: the airline fee disclosure. what's the story? >> not good. airlines are expensive and make us wait forever. >> bill: there could be a new rule to disclose the fee, which would be good for you and your family as a traveler. >> absolutely. it is interesting like every where you go whether airlines, telecom, if you take the time and look at your internet bill, or even door dash, there are all these fees. what are they charging us fees for? they make up stupid names and no application whatsoever. >> dana: did your daughter order from door dash? >> i had to put the kibosh on it. someone developed a ridiculous

habit. >> we can't get back on seamless. i need your daughters to come up and help me figure that out. i have a technical problem. >> bill: kennedy, thank you. nasa had a smashing good time, did you hear? we'll tell you what's going on with that. mike massimino will join us next. starting at 11:00 a.m. eastern time. a special "the faulkner focus." harris gets an upclose look as the migrant surge goes out of control. >> i have 7 or 8 on camera. border patrol. this is their call. they will snatch them up and process them and turn them loose in the united states. >> release them? >> that's what happens. this administration is letting

>> 3, 2, one. oh my gosh. oh, wow. >> confirmation. >> bill: nasa spacecraft slamming into an asteroid last night. they did it on purpose. a test to see whether or not to protect earth someday in the event a collision could be coming our way. mike massimino, columbia professor for engineering and he does everything. hello to you. i wasn't quite sure what we were seeing from the image. explain to us and our audience. >> i was watching it live. what are we looking at? it became clear it was like a camera, dashboard camera on the spaceship that crashed into the asteroid. what you saw was the asteroid

itself. a big rock. lots of other rocks and boulders on the surface coming up close to it just crashing in. like a direct hit purposeful crash into the asteroid and we got to see it as if we were flying the spaceship. >> dana: it took ten months to get there? >> bill: 61/2 million miles away. the distance to get there takes time and check out the spacecraft to make sure it's working correctly and control it. >> bill: what was the idea? did they want to blow up the asteroid or redirect it into a different orbit? >> the latter. just a redirection. there are a few ways you can affect an asteroid if it were coming toward earth. no danger at this point. far enough away. it is an interesting asteroid to try to redirect. it's in orbit around another asteroid. the purpose was to nudge it. it is going 15,000 mile-per-hour.

it is like a golf cart running into a football field the size relationship but it is going very fast, 15,000 miles per hour to give it a good knock and see what would happen. whether they could change their orbit. they will be looking at that through telescopes and a little satellite that will be measuring the effects of this, more of the rocks that will be brought up. the blanket that will come out of that thing. it is a way to redirect and study asteroids. very interesting objects not too far from earth. >> bill: can i interject something? you said this thing was going 15,000 mile-per-hour. >> bill: it took ten months to get there and nasa hit it. >> they hit it on the first try. you can do some pretty great things. a lot of smart people there. we sometimes take it for granted. >> dana: can i ask a question

that might sound like a dumb question? i don't understand how nasa headquarters there is communicating then with that machine. if it is that far, how is our capability like -- we do have the capability, i don't physically understand it. >> it is a direct link. a radio transmission and so if we are communicating to the space station, a second or so time delay. this thing where it wasilewski about a 30 second today. the signal is commander would be sent and those images that we saw were 30 seconds old that we saw. >> dana: it's incredible. >> it was an autopilot for the last few minutes because of that time delay. you don't want to control it with that delay. it was able to do that with its own guidance and computing to smash into it. >> bill: when do we know whether or not it worked. >> we know it did hit it.

the effect of the trajectory will take a while. we'll be looking at it from telescopes. >> dana: inspiring for a lot of young people. wonderful to see you. thank you for being with us today. we'll see you tomorrow indeed. hurricane hitting overnight. meantime "the faulkner focus" is up next. here is harris. >> harris: we'll begin there a fox weather hurricane alert. florida is getting ready for massive rainfall and dangerous storm surge as hurricane ian is charging toward the gulf coast. now a category 3 storm. it is threatening the tampa bay area right now with a rare first direct hit. i'm harris faulkner and you are in "the faulkner focus." ian made landfall in cuba this morning with winds up to 125 miles per hour. people are racing to gather final supplies and that's kind of difficult. gas stations and grocery stores are alre
