in student loan debt for almost 5 million people. but a number of its programs are getting held up in federal courts as several republican-led states have moved to block those programs. and as vice president harris has sort of been moderating her more progressive positions ahead of the elections this is not an area where she plans to split from her boss. recently in a podcast interview that was released over the weekend, she doubled down saying that there is more to do when it comes to student loan debt relief. one of the problems, though, for people who have student loans and people who don't. the committee for responsible federal budget says it could add to inflation just as we've seen higher prices starting to come down. dana. >> dana: all right, grady, thank you so much. hurricane milton is a monster storm threatening deadly devastation heading for the west coast of florida. president biden is about to give

us an update on preparations for milton from the white house. the ongoing response to hurricane helene. we'll take you live to the white house minutes away. welcome to a new hour of "america's newsroom," i'm dana perino. >> bill: i hate to see that radar, just see that thing churn out there. a big one. i'm bill hemmer, good morning at home. the storm really, if you have checked out for a day or so, you missed a major headline. this thing really came out of nowhere yesterday morning i would argue between 8:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. eastern time and got cranked up coming off the yucatan peninsula in mexico and now going through the gulf of mexico warm waters. >> dana: they are warning it could become one of the most destructive hurricanes on record and the state of florida is getting ready to brace for this direct hit as bill was saying. a massive exodus now underway. millions of residents rushing to evacuate the coast and other

low-lying areas with hours left before milton's arrival as crews scramble to clean up debris from hurricane helene. britta was telling us about that last hour before milton can turn that material into missiles. >> bill: gillian turner begins at the white house. we believe this hour we'll await the news on that. we begin with you, gillian. >> good morning to you, bill and dana. as milton is barreling tart the florida west coast the administration grappling with the reality they'll have to dole out hundreds of millions in more disaster aid even as people in north carolina are still reeling. even as fema itself is facing the prospect of running dry. president biden sent a letter to members of congress urging them to cut their recess short. return to d.c. to address the forthcoming shortfall in small business relief for hurricane victims. karine jean-pierre as a result faced questions yesterday why

the white house can summarily send funds overseas to lebanon but not storm victims in the u.s. an exchange she had with colleague peter doocy. >> the administration has money to send to lebanon without congress coming back. but congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people in north carolina. do i have that right? >> more than $200 million that we have provided to the impacted areas and but instead people want to do disinformation and misinformation. which is dangerous. which is dangerous. >> there is not enough money right now for people in north carolina who need it? that's not misinformation. >> no, your whole premise of the question is mision, sir. what you don't get >> which part? >> the way you are asking me the question the misinformation. there is money we're allocating to the impacted areas and money there to help people who truly need it. there are survivors who need the funding. who need the funding and it is

there. i said -- i said we have the money available to help survivors of hurricane helene and also hurricane milton. >> dhs secretary mayorkas said there are likely not enough fema emergency funds to last beyond the near term immediate what they already are dealing with in the aftermath of helene, bill. let's hope the president maybe has some good news to deliver coming up later in the hour. what he will address all of this directly to the american people. bill and dana. >> bill: thank you. stand by for more from the white house. >> dana: dana marie mcnicholl is in miami beach, florida. a few people have tried to escape and gone to miami. how does it look there? >> that's right, dana, because miami, fort lauderdale, the bigger cities aren't in the direct path of milton but we're still under the tropical storm warning. flood watches and why you can

see behind me this is a sandbag distribution center. it is quiet here right now. of course, the message across the state is this is your time to prepare. if you are under a mandatory evacuation, do it now. as you can see they are loading the sandbags into the car for residents in miami. but in parts north of us like lakeland, florida, we have video of cars snaking around the parking lot. they were there from open to close 5:45 at night and cars even in the parking lot that couldn't get enough sandbags because they couldn't make it to the front of the line in time. now in tampa, grocery store shelves are empty as residents were told to evacuate yesterday and get on the road. finding gas has been a challenge for many. one couple went to six gas stations before they found any. >> they are down. crazy, wawa, crazy.

it is what it is. >> everyone is out. >> governor desantis said florida is accumulating fuel reserves with 1.5 million gallons and says there is no fuel shortage now. the state is working quickly to resupply gas stations. evacuation orders are in effect for most of the west coast and up and down the gulf. the police chief in the city between than st. peter and sarasota with helene the water got between four and fiving feet in surge and expecting double that for milton. >> we will not be here. the wind alone causes us to have to leave the island. fire, police, ems, everybody will be off the island. there will be nobody to rescue you. >> of course, back out here live again the message is get your preparations ready today. evacuate.

of course, keep watching the multiple press conferences that governor desantis will hold and hear from president biden soon. >> dana: thank you so much. we'll stay in touch. >> bill: for more tulsi gabbard is here and play the director of fema who was with bret last night. president trump is well familiar with florida. is he doing something now before this storm hits? let's start there. >> president trump is continuing to do what we've seen him do in the wake of hurricane helene, reaching out and providing support directly for those who need it the most. it is heartbreaking, bill and dana, just to see those who are still trying to recover in the wake of helene. now they are in florida recognizing there is an even bigger hurricane that is headed their way. one of the most inspiring things and hopeful things that has come in the wake of these disasters is how many of our fellow

americans are stepping up to help fill the gap in the federal government and in some cases the state government's failure to meet the needs of people in these communities. i was there in north carolina a couple of days ago and really i can't put into words the devastation and the sense of loss that people feel there where their vehicles, their homes, their small businesses, their jobs swept away and gone in an instant. i was asking a local mayor of a town with a population of less than 500 people what about insurance? most people don't have flood insurance. this is not an area prone to flooding in their lifetimes. yet here they said this is a 500 year flood they experienced. i've been raising money through my nonprofit. we're deploying supplies to north carolina. chain sauce, star link set up and fuel. we'll be here for people in

florida as well. they need help now. what i saw in north carolina was a reminder of what we experienced in maui last year in the wake of those historic fires. fema was saying we're here and on the ground. what i saw in hawaii was they were in the town, in the city, they were not out in the communities that needed their help the most. i heard the same from these residents of these very rural communities in north carolina. they don't have fema knocking on their door. they don't have fema approving contracts to get people to bring the excavators to start clearing the debris to prevent another major disaster from happening should they get more rainfall coming through. the scale of this is just impossible to con say in words. the number one message that people shared with me and asked me to share with others was please don't forget us. this will be a long road ahead for all of them and we have to continue to stand with them whether or not our government, the harris biden administration

is doing their job or not. >> dana: last night the fema director was on special report with bret baier. watch here. >> we have been on the ground since before hurricane helene hit florida and before it passed over north carolina. what i would say is just because somebody doesn't see a person in a fema shirt doesn't mean we aren't in the area. the entire federal family is there to support the response. we've been there and we will stay there to make sure we met everybody's needs. >> dana: do you think fema needs to be enlarged? >> i think they need to better use its resources and be able to cut through the bureaucratic red tape that gets in the way of delivering direct response to people there. they are not good stewards of our taxpayer dollars. i've seen that in disaster after disaster. you have fema literally keeping their employees and workers in

the four seasons, five star hotels, while people who have been impacted by the disasters are homeless or staying in tents, finding places to stay in shelters. this is a major problem with fema where they are saying we have this covered. it is just simply not the case in my experience. in so many of these disasters that i've seen and been on the ground for. they are not providing the support for the people who need it most. people are being rejected even when they are applying for the $750 of assistance that vice president harris announced there in charlotte, north carolina. the needs are far greater than fema is providing. they are focused so much on their bureaucracy and not actually focused on those who need it the most. >> bill: ted you budde was on with sean last night and how he characterizes the response thus far. >> it has been characterized by lack of speed, lack of

coordination and misplaced priorities all over. when i talk to the boots on the ground, the boots on the ground today. 18th airborne corp and 101st and fort liberty, they were ready. they were ready day one. again, there was a lot of bureaucratic hang wringing at the top. didn't let the folks go to work. >> bill: your program we must protect is raising over $3 hundred thousand so far. we hope the get numbers higher and find out what happens next. tulsi thank you for your time. >> bill: live pictures of evacuations. going to be a long line now. i-74 in collier county, florida out of the sarasota area and they'll be moving for some time. we'll keep an eye on that picture today. this from last night 60 minutes. >> so many voters don't know you

is that you have changed your position on so many things. >> i have been traveling our country and listening to folks. >> dana: 60 minutes pressing vice president harris on her numerous policy reversals. how she defended the flip-flops. >> bill: middle east overnight israel intercepting a barrage of missiles out of lebanon as they expand their ground operation against hezbollah. we'll give you the latest on that in a moment. >> dana: as hurricane milton closes in on florida, crews are racing to clean up debris from hurricane helene. >> the path comes right over us so i'm hoping it changes a little bit so we don't get all the rain. we see what constant rain can do. it just floods the area. and when the stock market crashes and it does from time to time, our clients are protected against losses. literally, they go up with the market, lock in their gains, and when the market goes down, they don't lose anything. we keep it simple.

>> dana: breaking news from the white house. president biden was due to leave on the 10th, that would be friday, to go to germany and angola. instead, that trip is now canceled, bill. instead he is going to stay here. the commander-in-chief to help handle storm relief according to the white house. we're waiting to hear from president biden directly. that news just in. the trip is off. >> bill: smart move on his part. here is the president from wisconsin, check it out. >> we are going to make america great again. we are going to do it. we're going to do it and quickly. >> i'm traveling around our country from one state to the next to the next. it is my responsibility to eastern the vote. and i'm going to work to do that. >> bill: from wisconsin last night. 60 minutes on cbs. here we go. our latest power rankings the way we see the electoral votes stacked up here. we still see harris with a

slight edge and easier path not by much but an easier path at 241 compared to trump's 219. you need 270 to win on the board here. you see in yellow hasn't changed, has it? really from week-to-week. nevada is a toss-up, arizona, wisconsin, georgia, north carolina, pennsylvania. michigan we've got lean dem but there is some suggestions out there it is razor tight in michigan as well. what do you need to get to 270, right? let's check out the path to the majority, all right? i'll call this up here. the presidential level. here is what we have, all right? if harris is at 225 for the sake of this argument her path continues -- the easiest path is wisconsin and michigan and pennsylvania, 269 and this one nebraska two puts her at 270. president trump his easiest way

to understand this now is to flip georgia, hold north carolina, and win pennsylvania here. that would do the trick at 270. keep in mind. there could be variations before election day and on election night. that's the way we see it for her and him. the easiest path to 270. back to 60 minutes. more on that now. >> you have changed your position on so many things. you were against fracking, now you are for it. you supported looser immigration policies, now you are tightening them up. you were for medicare for all, now you are not. so many that people don't truly know what you believe or what you stand for. >> i have been traveling our country and i have been listening to folks. and seeking what is possible in terms of common ground. i believe in building consensus. >> dana: vice president kamala harris pressed on her flip-flops

and claiming consensus to explaining the shifting stances. will that be enough? bret baier editor of special report and chief political anchor. i thought bill whitaker did a good job you said this, not that. a gentle way and interrupt and press her in ways that gave her opportunities to answer with more substance and she still didn't do it. >> totally agree. i think bill did a really good job of pushing back in a respectful way but one in which everybody really wanted to hear especially when it came to illegal immigration. i thought that sound bite and that stretch of follow-ups was really powerful. something that vice president harris hasn't seen in an interviewer up until now. and that is, you know, if you say you are happy about what things have happened in recent months based on the executive orders put back in place, why not have done that three years ago? why did you let the influx and flow of illegal immigrants get

to such a point where it quadrupled over the biden-harris administration. it was powerful and she didn't have a really good answer to it. >> bill: here it is. harris on the border. they went at this a couple of times. watch what we pulled. >> it's a longstanding problem. and solutions are at hand. we have been offering solutions. >> what i was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place? >> the policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. >> bill: ole'. pull the cape out and let the bull run through. she didn't take it head on, that's for sure. >> bret: three questions on this topic and you kind of get to the

point where this is the answer you are going to get. there were a number of those. this is the kind of interview that illuminates maybe where she stands. i think one of the reasons that we haven't seen her out is because she hasn't had a lot of trial runs with this kind of interviewer and we'll see if the campaign continues to go down this road less than 30 days to the election. >> dana: there was also this. they interviewed tim walz the vice presidential candidate about false statements from his past and the knucklehead comment. >> is that kind of misrepresentation, isn't that more than just being a knucklehead? >> i think folks know who i am. >> it comes down to the question of whether you can be trusted to tell the truth. >> yeah, well, i think i can. i will own up to being a knucklehead at times. but folks closest to me know i

keep my word. >> dana: what do you think of that, bret? >> bret: shannon bream did a good job on "fox news sunday" going down these roads and got into the specifics about abortion and abortion policy. but on this question about his statements and what he has said and how it really brings up a trust issue, i think again whitaker did a nice job and so did shannon. they have an issue here and the answer that i'm a knucklehead and i can be trusted and people know who i am, i'm not sure delivers the specifics that people were looking for. >> bill: let's talk about the news that dana talked about five minutes ago. president biden was going to europe and canceled that trip. i think it's a smart move on we agree on that. probably is smart. we don't know what florida will be treated with, you know? really thursday morning, bret. you wake up and you will look at some of these islands on the west coast of florida and there will be a ton of damage and a

lot of people will be suffering. >> bret: we've been through these storms but nothing quite like this in the lead-up to when it hits. hopefully the wind sheer hits it and it gets to a four or three but massive storm if it hits in tampa bay. senator rubio said he was told by the hurricane center what's the worst case scenario? it is an eye going across that very place. so we'll have to watch it. it's a smart move for president biden. i thought governor desantis has been good about the interaction with the federal government and was really pointed about the whole back and forth about vice president harris and the call. >> dana: it preempts one of dew point's rule of international travel. whenever they go something big goes on back home. you don't want to be caught

overseas. if you care about the senate races, you will want to listen to my podcast. >> bill: check it out. >> now is the time to execute your plan. you have time to get to a shelter. you have time to evacuate further than that if that's what you want. but that time is running out. >> bill: this governor has seen too much of this. the word is out. florida officials telling folks to head to safer ground while the going is still good. hurricane milton fast approaching. middle east, anti-israel protestors flooding new york city on the anniversary of the october 7th terror attacks. the mob finding common ground with hamas.

1 1/2%. he depended heavily on western north carolina counties. right now fox's power rankings has this state as a toss-up. the stakes couldn't be higher. i will give you a little context, dana. that's this. the folks here i talked to one gentleman and his wife on the street up here. he lost his home. asked him how he felt how the storm might impact the election. he told me it's the last thing on his mind right now. >> dana: i can imagine that's the case. griff jenkins. what devastation. amazing the mailbox is there and nothing else. thank you. [shouting] >> bill: that was the zone in new york yesterday. anti-israel protestors taking to

the streets on the first anniversary of the hamas terror attacks october 7th. the post calling it despicable. paul mauro, retired nypd inspector is talking to a lot of folks. i was sharing an anecdote a moment ago. i lived in norring city more than 20 years. saw something 9:00 at night last night. 21 or 22 years old walking down fifth avenue with a sign that says israel is a terrorist state. you think about the density of the jewish population in new york and that's what you've got now. >> as we were discussing it is not coming from home. this is stuff they're putting up in the education system. a form of indoctrination. first of all, let's speak legally. hamas and hezbollah are designated terrorist organizations. so inside of america where this all is happening, these are two terrorist groups. they are commensurate with isis and al qaeda and yet we have demonstrators in the streets who

are chanting in favor of them. we have to make a distinction. it reminds me what i saw at the dnc. a confluence of different groups with different agenda. some are people in sympathy with the palestinian cause. people with roots in that part of the world but you also have a lot of joiners. a lot of completely who separate agendas, where is the funding coming from. overseas entities? they pile on. what they want a disruption. they want chaos. people think it descended into chaos. it didn't descend there. it's the motive. they want the disruption. they hate america. one of the things they want at the end of the day are lawsuits to fund them. they get some arrests, everybody sues, new york city settles and the whole cycle continues.

see. you would like to see hate crime charges. protestor who got hit, a pro-israel protestor out there. there are police right on the scene and it is very clear, very clear. i notice from sourcing the police have been told -- all of these are unpermitted protests. they've been told contain it and isolate it but let it happen. if you really wanted to stop it, you have the look at what is founding it. the ring leaders and you have to look at people who are very clearly have as an objective take over the city and create chaos. the left loves root causes, right? root causes is the issue here. israel at the end of the day are too successful and too america adjacent and they just can't abide it. >> bill: the pattern has been to hit the streets every day for the month leading up to the election. four weeks from today. see if it continues. >> it will continue. >> speaking of the middle east. new air strikes there. a live report on the damage in israel and iran's latest warning to the jewish state coming right

put her family in. her trust is fema hits a new low. you just moved to florida from north carolina in june and already it must be battered. tell us about your story. >> yeah, we moved in june. we flooded with debbie, ran into issues with our claim with fema, and came out almost completely out-of-pocket for the damages. and then we were hit with helene. we had four feet of water in our house. got as far as the remediation and had to evacuate this time again for milton. >> dana: you said things didn't work out well for you with fema. do you fear that could happen again? >> yeah, i think that's everyone's fear. it takes time and people can't always afford to come out-of-pocket to keep progress moving to rebuild their lives and there is a general lack of resources after these storms whether the number of adjusters
