the state begins largest evacuation in seven years as hurricane milton barrels toward the west coast. >> this has potential to be one of the most damaging storms in the country. >> carley: preparing for the worst and tracking the latest. >> todd: battle in the briefing room over getting hurricane helene victims money and aid they need. >> if he's got money in lebanon right now without congress coming back, what does it say about his values? >> his values? your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir. >> carley: and kamala harris fends off a slew of questions about border crisis as it became out of control. >> was it mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did? >> it's a long-standing problem. and solutions are at hand.

>> carley: don't miss highlights from that interview, we'll play them all. you are watching "fox and friends first" on tuesday morning, i'm carley shimkus. >> todd: i'm todd piro. fox weather alert. hurricane milton posing a threat to florida and expected to hit gulf coast with life -threatenig storm surge. making way to florida through gulf of mexico after rapidly intens intensifying monday. storm surge could reach 10 to 15 feet along the coast line. 51 out of 67 counties are under state of emergency. >> carley: florida residents facing problems as evacuations in preparation for the storm. senior meteorologist janice dean has fox weather forecast.

what is the latest on this? >> janice: the storm has weakened a bit, but that does not matter. still a strong four, probably go up to a five as it moves up gulf and interacts with more warm weather. storm surge is the thing, when you have 10 to 15-foot storm surge they have not seen or felt that in their lifetime in >> tammy:a bay area. this is the concern. 180 mile per hour sustained wind says, it was unbelievable. talking about catastrophic damage for this region. you are seeing mass evacuations. here is latest forecast track. it is weakening, might see a bump up to five. expecting landfall of cat four, even if it is a three, it will carry the same amount of storm

surge, that is that wall of water that will not be survivable if it is 10 to 15 feet above sea level. this is tampa area down to port charlotte, up to 15 feet. these areas are at sea level and t topography of west coast of florida cannot withstand this type of storm surge. that wall will move into west coast. 10 foot storm surge in fort myers will be a problem. they had peak from hurricane helene, upward of six to seven foot storm surge and there was severe damage. double that. not a good scenario, that is why people are being told to evacuate. from what i hear, people are

listening to local officials. hurricane warnings, heavy rainfall, prolonged hurricane-force winds. a hurricane for orlando and east coast of florida. keep that in mind. widespread power outages across the state. this is main area from spring hill to naples, biggest concern and most vulnerable city in the u.s., the tampa bay area. heavy rainfall. worst part is storm surge, the wall of water pushed inland and people will not survive that. prayers. i have not seen a lot of these storms in my 20 years, this is a devastating one. >> carley: two big ones back-to-back. >> todd: mayor of tampa said

storm surge is so high, if you don't evacuate, you will die. quite a statement from a mayor to say. bring in duke energy sp spokesperson, anna gibbs. how is damage from hurricane helene impacting your preparation for milton? >> duke energy, we were just this past weekend able to get a rebuild done on the barrier island on pinellas county. customers are able to receive power, thousands of customers, their structure were not safe to energize. it is definitely what we consider a difficult situation when it comes to customers who experienced that storm surge we were just talking about. that same area hardest hit from hurricane helene, not a direct

hit, it was glancing blow, are now target of milton and a potential direct hit. >> todd: talk about employ ees you have who are dealing with their own personal misery because of the damage their own homes and lives received from hurricane helene now preparing for milton who need to help all their fellow floridians at the same time. they are putting their jobs and commitment to people of florida ahead of their own personal lives, talk about that sacrifice for a moment. >> what is inspiring, i'm working side by side with people that when i say these are not people that are counties apart from me, who have lost their homes. they are uninhabitable because they lived in pinellas county.

what is inspiring, speez people are responding to this hurricane and helping our customers get prepared and helping us get prepared for the next hurricane. they are working throughout this response sxchl our linemen responded to this hurricane and went to louisiana for mutual as assistance. this community helps each other out. when a hurricane approaches florida, woe have linemen from colorado and even as far as canada. we are bringing in thousands. we're at 10,000 and today you'll hear we are bringing more in. these linemen leave their families behind, they miss birthdays and anniversaries, we

return that favor. a lot of our linemen have been going nonstop through several hurricanes. they have been impactd and our support staff, when a hurricane like helene comes through, it has had an impact on employees who have lost their homes and they continue to work to ensure customers have lights on. >> todd: you are telling people to turn off their breakers. if everything floods, which is expected and electricity comes back on, water and electricity do not mix. you don't want an electified water feel. best of luck to you and your colleagues. we are praying for you. vice president kamala harris going after desantis after desantis would not answer her call regarding federal relief

efforts. >> moments of crisis, if nothing else, should be moment anyone calls themselves a leader, put politics aside and put people first. playing political games at heights of emergency situations is utterly irresponsible and selfish and it is about political games. >> todd: desantis said he didn't know she called him. >> for kamala harris to say my sole focus on people of florida is selfish is delusional. she has no role in this. in fact, she's been vice m president for 3-1/2 years, i've dealt with a number of storms in her time, she has never contributed anything. >> has she ever called before? >> carley: he's saying, i didn't

know she called and i don't know why she would. another controerce havy, white house is having a difficult time answering why they can pledge millions to aid in lebanon while americans are still struggling to recover from hurricane helene. >> todd: important question. brooke singman has more. >> brooke: white house is facing serious questions about priorities after vice president kamala harris pledged to send $157 million of assistant to lebanon hours before she pledged $100 million to storm efforts. >> if he's got money for people in lebanon right now without congress having to come back, what does it say about his values, there is not enough money for people in north carolina. that is not misinformation. >> the way you are asking the question is misinformation. you are asking why congress

needs to come back and do their job and provide extra assistant to relief funds, that is what congress needs to did. you may not want this, that is okay, that is what this president and vice president wants. thanks, everybody. >> carley: from hurricane helene. my daughter's house got wiped out, has no flood insurance. applies and does not get $750, gets approved for $300 for personal items, what is that going to do? >> where are you? people lost homes, businesses, everything and they need some support. they need help. 750 dollars is not much help. >> brooke: horrible. fema administrator confirming the agency does not have enough

funds to make it through another storm. >> brooke: fema says they are running out of fooubs, dhs inspector report found fema had 3.8 million for declared disasters and -- could be returned to disaster relief fund. analysts say fema cannot tap into those funds and money stays frozen. >> todd: bureaucracy at its worse. harris-walz tyket making round in 11th hour media blitz. >> carley: and the v.p. pressed on her flip-flops. don't miss the big moments from her "60 minutes" sit down next.

>> todd: yesterday marked one year since horrific attacks hamas carried out in israel. nevertheless, thousands of anti-israel protesters took to streets from new york to california and went after

pro-israel activists. at columbia, class disrupted by staging student walk-out and in maryland, colorado and more unive universities. demonstrators burned a plastic pig head in streets of manhattan. six protesters were arrested by nypd. former president trump leading a tribute in new york city with families of hamas hostage don a alexander and trump gave remarks at a memorial in florida. >> we are here in remember rans of one of the darkest hours in human history. october 7 was deadliest day for jewish people since the holocaust, it was attack on

humanity. >> todd: kamala harris and doug emhoff participationed in a tree-planting ceremonies and hecklers during the be event. >> carley: day two of media blitz, vice president kamala harris faced questions on her record with "60 minutes" pressing her about her soft on border policies. >> >> day one, we have been offering solutions. >> i was asking was it a mistake to allow that flood to happen in the first place? >> i think the policies that we've been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. >> numbers quadrupled. we have cut the flow by half. >> should you have done that -- >> cut flow of fentanyl by half. we need congress to be able to

act. >> carley: here with reaction, co-founder of let's win for action, janelle king. this ises first time she's been pressed on this issue of undoing donald trump's policies and flood of people to enter the country as a result and she did not have an answer. this is top three issue for voters across the country. >> good morning, always happy to be here with you. i have to agree, the nonanswers keep coming and i'm confused when that will stop. shout out to bill for ask ing great questions and doubling down. her inability toic taresponsibility for what is happening on the border is part of the reason people can't see her as a leader. leaders do not walk around and act if they don't make mistakes.

they should learn from their mistakes. so many ways she should have answered that question. she wants to present an heir of not having made mistakes. >> carley: bill whitaker pressed her on issues most concerning to americans when it dms to kamala harris presidency. another has to do with her ever-evolving positions and flip-upon flo flops listen to this. >> you were against fracking, now for it. you supported looser immigration policies and now tightening it up. you were for medicare for all and now you're not. >> leaders can build consensus and understand it is not a bad thing as long as you don't

compromise your values to find common sense solutions and that has been my approach. >> carley: i had to listen a couple times to figure out where she was going with that. could that be her admitting to past mistakes and saying she's changed her mind on these positions. >> much like you, i listened to it several times, i listen to her repeatedly to make sense of it. you are not conveying the message. when it comes to kamala flip-flopping, she's flip-flopped from the moment we met her, she stood on stage and referred to president biden as r racist to coming back and saying that's a mistake or i don't see it that way anymore. we are accustomed to her flip f flopping. it is result of her trying to push forward something she knows

american people will not benefit from. she will do whatever she can to win that seat. we need someone that has plans and cares about this country more than herself. ca >> carley: she talked about mandatory buy back and owning a glock. another flip-flop there. tim walz was part of the interview yesterday and was asked about number of times he's stretched the truth, if you will. listen here. >> i think you are referring to the time that you said that you were in hong kong during the square unrest when you were not. is that misrepresentation more than being a knuckle head? >> folks know who i am. >> it comes down to question of whether you can be trusted to tell the truth.

>> i think i can. i will own up to being a knucklehead at times, folks cl closest to me know i can. >> carley: how much of a kn knucklehead you are a month before the election. >> it is interesting, if being a knucklehead means being a liar, i missed that memo. he needs to show us this relatability he's trying to display is that, false sense. you know where you have been. you know if you were not there. you are willing to lie, that is a huge problem for me, particularly if you are going to be second in command. >> carley: kamala harris will do stephen colbert and howard stern show today. thank you for joining us.

mandatory evacuations underway as hurricane milton barrels to the coast as category four. >> todd: how our next guest is bracing for impact. that's why at fisher investments we start by getting to know each other. so i can learn about your family, lifestyle, goals and needs, allowing us to tailor your portfolio.

>> carley: florida residents are now bracing for what could be strongest storm in a century as hurricane milton barrels to the west coast. a resident in treasure island florida in a barrier island in gulf of mexico in direct path of milton, chuck, joins us now. i'm sure this is a tense time for you. you just experienced helene, so you are already under water. what does treasure island look like now even before milton arrives? >> thank you for joining us, i was probably a knucklehead but

back in high school. my wife and i are doing a lot of praying. we've been on the island for 12 years. we are in three stories. helene, almost three weeks to the day milton is scheduled to make landfall. it was thursday evening when the surge hit and within 20 minutes, we had four foot of water in our home. we lost everything on the first floor and two cars. we have been preparing by sand bagging and salvaging anything from first floor, boarding up and praying. we are leaving, first time in 12 years we are evacuating 11 miles

inland. can't take chances after helene. i can only imagine what milton can do. >> carley: you can only imagine why just the waiting game must take an emotional toll on you and everybody trying to figure out how bad this could be. you talk about things like raw sewage because of power outages. the city had to dump sewage into the road instead. how do you feel about it when you hear about a historic storm, one of the largest storms in a s century. >> nothing much we can do. i have a warning for those who

might be seeing this on barrier islands. we've become commplacent, storm come in and we get water, maybe wind damage. we sand bag and nothing happens and you become commplacent heed advice of officials and get out, we have never seen a storm of this magnitude, they said probably over 100 years. surge is reason why los of lives is drowning. please get out and be safe, all i can tell people. >> carley: governor desantis has gotten rid of some of the tolls so people can travel out of the area. have you noticed traffic build-up? are you worried about that? >> no, a lot of people have left

the barrier island, i know the sdrat, it took a friend seven hours to go -- on 75. if we get out early you have in, we are not leave ig pinellas county, we are go ing out of th flood zone. the sewage stifnch and amount o debris that will become projectile and floating around and our island is devastated know beyond a point i have never seen. i probably slep two hours last night, i can't imagine what account happen. sorry. what could happen. >> carley: i know. >> excuse me. it is very emotional for me. >> carley: no doubt, chuck, those are real emotions.

you havureiodream tied into this beautiful area. the waiting game, i can understand would take an emotional toll on anyone. check back in with you, doing the right thing evacuating and encouraging everyone else to do the same. we are so sorry about everything you are going through right now. god bless. >> todd: not just chuck, my mom's best friend lives on treasure island, very emotional thinking about what is going to happen. you know it is going to happen. >> carley: two storms and second hitting the same area in two-week period of time. >> todd: sad and horrible. vice president harris has plans to fix her boss' economy, who will pay for it? >> i will make sure the richest among us who can afford it, pay their fair share in taxes. we're dealing with the real world. how are you going to get this

through congress? >> carley: cheryl casone breaks that down coming up next. after last month's massive solar flare added a 25th hour to the day, businesses are wondering "what should we do with it?" i'm thinking company wide power nap.

economic policy. >> todd: cheryl casone is here with details. try be being operative word. >> cheryl: she was asked several times by bill whitaker about her plan and how she will get it passed. the host grilled her on her future economic plans. >> it will not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying higher tax rate than billionaires in biggest corporations and i plan on making that fair. >> we're dealing with the real world here. how will you get this through congress? >> when you talk quietly with folks in congress, they know what i'm talking about. >> cheryl: top 1% income bracket shoulders 46% of the nation's tax burden.

billionaires do not pay lower tax rates that teachers, nurses and firefighters, they usually pay 22%, average rate. sometimes 12%, depending on breaks like being married and child credit. 3.5 trillion is what it will add to the deficit, estimates are higher for president trump's economic plan. be fair there. >> todd: another huge act coming to coachella. >> donald trump. trump-vance campaign will go to coachella, for a rally because under kamala harris and tim walz, the dream has turned into nightmare, californians are suffering from groceries, to housing thanks to kamala-nomics.

look at inflation on cumulative basis since january of 2021, when biden-harris went into office, up nineteen %, trending with national average. average gas in california $4.68, nationally $3.18. california has heavy restrictions on gasoline production and way it was made. inflation -- i have to say, do not forget, the population has l left. more are leaving than going in, according to u-haul. >> carley: todd calls that voting with your feet. he talks about that. >> todd: i'm curious, will trump dress in normal trump garb or go like people who go and dress in

burning man white? >> cheryl: i'm going red tie. >> todd: don't miss cheryl on mornings with maria, always a pleasure. back to serious topic of the day. another hurricane is expected to hammer florida tomorrow, cancer innovation laboratory kjp is clashing with peter doocy. >> if president biden has money for people in lebanon right now without congress coming back, what does it say about sauls not enough money for people in north carolina who need it. that is not misinformation. >> no, the way you are asking is misinformation. you are asking why congress needs to come back and do their job and provide extra assistant to disaster relief fund. that is what congress needs to do. you may not want that, that is

okay. that is what the president and vice president wants. >> carley: jack, good morning to you. she clearly took offense to premise of that question, it is question many people have, what do you think about that reaction and her response to? >> it is telling, she responded in way of someone that is offended would respond and it is offensive to every american watching billions go to folks in lebanon and ukraine and iran and everywhere else while we see our neighbors lose everything and it be destroyed. i've been on the ground for this disaster and numerous disasters across america and other countries. way we deal with natural disasters has to change and especially under biden-harris administration, you see our fema

money going to illegal immigrants and you talk to americans. i've seen two gaming from fema walking around entire time i've been in florida. i'm talking about these houses took on nine, 10, 15 foot of water, people are homeless and they are just getting trailers to live in until they figure out how to get their houses back. when you have a crisis like this and you don't see the president and vice president of the united states out front leading, bringing hope to people and trying to find solutions, if congress need to come together, have the president rallying to get it done. you don't hear anything from these people. >> todd: i like to point out something kkjp said she said th

way you are asking that question is misinformation. misinformation education campaign, you saw with the interview kamala harris did with bill whitaker, changing the question around. want to focus on your efforts in taylor county. you are helping people clean up. you are a man of faith, what do you say to fellow floridians as they pick uppes 52s following devastation of hurricane helene and get ready for what is going to be worse in hurricane milton? >> i made a series of phone calls last night when i realized we were looking at a hurricane category five coming our way. i called the county sheriff and disaster relief center in taylor county and levy county and told

them we're coming. so it is really about letting people know that folks around you have your back. think about unthinkable here. we literally saw 20-foot storm surge coming off coast in last hurricane and it is going right for tampa, which no one has seen hurricane this strong in our lifetime in those areas. we really have to get prepared and i think it is about letting folks know that we'll be there. more importantly people evacuate and you see now, governor desantis started largest evacuation in history of the united states. people are lining up, it takes common sense preparing and i think state of florida does this better than anyone in the united states of america. >> carley: people impacted are

saying one thing, without churches, without charity and great neighbors like you, they would be in more difficult position. thank you for answering that call to upon had, jack, we appreciate you joining us, have a great day, god bless. >> keep us in your prayers. >> carley: we will. check in with steve doocy with look at what is coming up on "fox and friends." steve. >> steve: coming up on "fox and friends," in eight minutes and 28 seconds, florida bracing for hurricane milton as they recover from helene. governor ron desantis will join us with an update on his state and response to kamala harris calling the governor out for ignoring her calls. been a lot of hurricanes before, why is she calling now? oh, yeah, an election. north carolina getting help from two of country music's biggest stars as residents are picking

>> todd: it is week two of down ballot cases could control the house. today we are taking a look at maine's second district former nascar driver giving democrat incumbent a run for his money. and austin theriault joins me now. this district always seems to be a nail-biter, your opponent gerald golden seems to win in the end by flipping some republicans at the very end to

secure a tiny margin of victory. what are you doing this time to change that. >> well, first of all, thanks for having me on and we are thinking about the folks in the southeast right now. main second district race is going to be an important race for deciding control of congress. what people are realizing and it's finally happening is that jared golden gone to d.c. and become another creature of washington. comes to maine during campaign season and tells awesome story how is he going to be trump-supporting independent. the reality is he is far from that flip flopped on the second amendment. on the border, on our lobster industry. on inflation. i mean, can i continue going. and people are wanting a change. right now i think we are experiencing in america folks are waking up to the fact that our politicians have failed us and it's time for a new crop of leaders to start getting involved so we can take back our country and we can make it successful once again. >> todd: when it comes to the

economy, the border. the deadly shooting is a major topic specifically in your race. how does your position and response to that horrific event differ from your opponent? >> well, there is a huge separation there. i'm somebody that believes if we are going to address this issue, it's got to be with mental health on the forefront. we know that america culture and whatnot is certainly becoming more violent. it's become more violent over the past couple decades. we have to look at what is making people behave this way. you know, the mental health crisis is certainly spiraling out of control. and jared golden's response was to go after the assessment and t and take firearms away from citizens. i strongly believe in the second amendment, i believe the root of the issue is mental health. that's why mychal bloomberg is spending millions of dollars in this case donating to the democrat super pacs trying to

defeat me and all of this out-of-statz money coming in because jared flip flopped on the second amendment. folks need to know that and who the true supporter of the second amendment is in this race. >> todd: the house currently split 205-208. house power rankings projecting 22 toss-up races. this is your us a final lap austin theriault, you have 30 seconds why do you think in your race you are going to take the checkered flag. >> people are ready for a change once again. the whole idea of america being controlled by big government in that the government has to have their ten nickels in every part of life is something that is totally opposite of the american culture and the american dream. my grandfather grew up in a logging and farming family up in northern maine, and he was successful because he worked hard. he see gave somebody his word and he followed through. this is what our campaign is about. we have a lot of outside money come in. and so, you know, folks who want to be part of winning back and keeping control of the house, go

to austin for maine.com and join the team. this is not only going to be one of the most important elections of our lifetime. it's going to be about taking america back. talking about freedom, individual liberty, and so america can be prosperous once again. >> todd: austin theriault, before we go, ms. shimkus. >> carley: a trump sign for trump glowing in new york after a court victory. manufacturing company installed the sign on top of th building t week the democratic mayor issued a restraining order to have it taken down claiming it violated city code and claiming it could be a safety hazard. the order was lifted just in time for a preplanned rally to officially light that sign up with a massive crowd showing up in support of former president donald trump. this sign is getting more attention than if the mayor hadn't stepped ned first place. speak. >> todd: speaking of that, "fox & friends" begins right now. ♪ ♪
