7:06 am
orlando silver was in mexico city for both. >> the city is in complete chaos. it just looks like the city had been bombarded. it was pretty devastating. >> reporter: what you're seeing there is a group of relatives who have gathered here. they are looking at a list of names, hoping that their loved ones are on the list of those who have been rescued. the mexican president is urging calm after the earthquake, saying the priority remains rescuing people and getting them to medical facilities, and that may take a long time. there are 44 buildings that have collapsed here. >> unfortunately, looking at that construction and that devastation, we know that there will be more loss of life. there's always a miracle too. let's hope for that. thank you, manuel bojorquez in mexico city. the eye of hurricane maria came overshore this morning. it raekweakened to a strong caty 4 but officials predict entire towns will have to be rebuilt.

maria's top winds are 145 miles an hour. overnight it pounded st. croix of the u.s. virgin islands. david begnaud is in san juan, puerto rico, which is directly in maria's path. david, good morning to you. >> reporter: the wind has died down significantly, so has the rain. here's what we're seeing. you've got debris in the street from the palm trees, lights that have fallen to the ground. glass that has shattered. it was the high rise building there. pieces of the building were flying off and through the air like shrapnel. there's a vehicle down the way, it looks like a palm tree fell into the middle of that vehicle. we've not gotten any reports of injuries so far, though the governor of puerto rico has told people apparently most communication has been lost or will be lost shortly. the police which are staying at our hotel are telling us they haven't been able to communicate with anyone. hurricane maria barrelled through st. croix overnight, before roaring ashore in puerto rico. this video was taken just outside of our hotel room
7:08 am
showing the force of maria's violent winds. it was enough for the hotel to order guests down to the lobby level. the region was still rebounding from the last storm, irma, when maria rolled in. >> we have never had any back-to-back hurricanes before. >> reporter: yolanda maldonado has been without power since hurricane irma two weeks ago. now she's in a shelter in san juan. >> i've passed through hurricanes, but this one, it's going to be very hard rz eddie negron and his daughter are riding out the storm in a hotel room. >> we are trying to do the best we can to survive. >> reporter: we were with puerto rico's governor when he walked the streets yesterday personally pleading with people to evacuate to a shelter. >> can the island of puerto rico survive a direct hit from a category 4 or 5? >> we'll take a big hit, but our people are resilient, we're strong. we showed it after irma. we were there to help other u.s. citizens in their time of need. now we're going to need a
7:09 am
helping hand. >> reporter: some more of the damage that we're seeing, trees that have fallen on power lines. remember, this country has a horribly delicate infrastructure when it comes to the power grid. also this business, we watched earlier as the boarded-up lumber was ripped off the building and the glass shattered. we watch it as it happened. in fact a lot of businesses have doors that have simply flung open. that's the latest of what we're seeing right now. >> david begnaud in puerto rico, thank you so much. jose, now a tropical storm, is bringing high waves and strong winds to the massachusetts coast. jose has top winds of 65 miles an hour. it is expected to stay out to sea. meteorologist eric fisher of our boston station wbz is watching the path of jose and maria. eric, good morning. >> well, good morning. we've been watching maria directly strike puerto rico over the last several squarely. it's districtly centered right
7:10 am
over san juan. winds have been well in excess of 100 miles an hour and will continue to track to the north north-northwest. the southeast coast of puerto rico, a category 4 hurricane, first cat 4 there since 1932 and the third category 4 hurricane to hit the united states in just the last four weeks. hurricane warnings extend to the northern coast of the dominican republic as well as the turks and caicos as that track will take it very close to the northern dominican republic coastline. then it curves off the eastern seaboard. this is a storm we'll have to watch across the east coast. it may make a very close pass next week. also watching tropical storm jose. this a rip current risk bringing rough surf to new england, but most of the storm staying just offshore. >> yeah sha, the caribbean just can't catch a break, thank you so much. president trump meets today in new york with a series of world leaders. in a defiant speech before the united nations yesterday, the president vowed to totally destroy north korea if it
7:11 am
threatens the u.s. or its allies. he also called the iran nuclear deal an embarrassment. margaret brennan is at the united nations. some tough words, margaret. >> reporter: indeed. president trump discussed mideast peace and combatting terrorism with the king of jordan this morning, topics that he's also going to tackle with the presidents of egypt and the palestinian authority. later he'll have a one-on-one with uk prime minister theresa may, who will tell mr. trump she opposes his plan to renegotiate the nuclear deal with iran. >> major portions of the world are in conflict and some, in fact, are going to hell. >> reporter: president trump's whirlwind week of diplomacy brought some very undiplomatic language. >> the united states has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy north korea.
7:12 am
rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. >> reporter: before president trump took the podium, north korea's u.n. ambassador left the room in protest. >> it's really out of place when you're talking to the world leaders in the united nations. >> reporter: former secretary of defense, leon panetta. >> any miscalculation, any provocative act could suddenly send us into a war. >> reporter: while the president talked tough, he stopped short of mentioning north korea's number one trading partner by name, china, but hinted there may be consequences for any country that supplies the regime. mr. trump also had harsh words for iran. >> the iranian government masks a corrupt dictatorship behind the false guise of a democracy. >> reporter: president trump criticized the international deal to freeze iran's nuclear program, which he is considering withdrawing from. >> that deal is an embarrassment to the united states and i don't think you've heard the last of
7:13 am
it. >> reporter: last night on colbert, former rival hillary clinton said mr. trump's tone was beneath the office of the presidency. >> i thought it was very dark, dangerous, not the kind of message that the leader of the greatest nation in the world should be delivering. >> reporter: the president responded on twitter this morning calling clinton crooked and accusing her of allowing north korea to build nuclear weapons. the white house has continued to point to praise from israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who called the president's speech one of the most courageous that he has heard in nearly 30 years. >> margaret, thanks. nikki haley is u.s. ambassador to the united nations and is with us from midtown manhattan in new york. ambassador, good morning. >> good morning. >> the president said that the 2015 iran nuclear deal was, quote, one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the united states has ever entered into. is that a clear signal that he plans to withdraw from the
7:14 am
nuclear deal with iran? >> it's not a clear signal that he plans to withdraw. what it is, is a clear signal that he's not happy with the deal and that the united states is not safer because of it. i think if you look at the fact that, yes, on one side it deals with the nuclear development, the jcpoa, which everyone talks about, but u.s. law requires it to look at other things, which iran is in violation of. arm smuggling -- >> can't you do both, though? can't you certify the deal and at the same time pursue iran on these other aspects of their behavior? >> well, that's the thing, that's what we have to do, whether it's through u.s. law and other things is to start exposing them. >> iranian president rouhani said in his words leaving the agreement would come at high cost. what's your response to his reaction? >> well, i think what he needs to do is instead of focusing on us leaving the agreement, he needs to start following the rules. he is -- he's got to stop smuggling arms, he's got to stop all of the meddling that they're
7:15 am
doing around the middle east, their support of terrorism. we've got to see them stop with the ballistic missile testing. so he is not keeping his end of the deal. >> are you saying the united states will not certify the deal? >> we have to keep it on him. >> will the united states not certify the deal? >> the president has to make that decision. that's his decision alone. what i can tell you is if he does not certify, he's certainly on grounds to not do that. >> ambassador, let me turn to north korea and read you some of the comments the president made. he said it's an outrage that some nations will not only trade with such a regime but would arm, supply and financially support a country that imperils the world with nuclear conflict. is the president talk about china and russia? and if so, why did he not name them specifically? >> i think he was talking to all countries. we've got countries in africa that do trade with north korea. we've got countries around the globe that interact with north korea. what we're saying is this is a country who is threatening its neighbors, threatening the united states, continuing to use ballistic missile testing but
7:16 am
now also nuclear bombs that they're testing and we have to stop every ounce of funding that they use to do bad things. >> ambassador, did you know that the president was going to refer to kim jong-un, the president of north korea, as rocket man? if so, do you think that kind of language and that kind of mocking is helpful? first, did you know he was going to use that terminology? >> i did. i was aware that morning that he was going to use it. i will tell you just to let you know what this does, i had a meeting with the president of uganda the day before and he was referring to kim as rocket man, before the president even gave the speech. >> under what circumstances, what specific circumstances would the united states launch an attack against north korea? >> we have lots of military options. so it's not just the destruction, it's -- there are steps that lead up to that. what i can tell you is no one wants war. the president doesn't want war. we have tried to do this through dialogue, we've tried to do this through sanctions, we've tried every diplomatic measure that we
7:17 am
possibly can. we're not giving up on that. we have said to kim multiple times we don't want regime change, we don't want war. what we want you to do is stop testing and stop working on nuclear production. they have chosen not to do that. >> but the president has used words like fire and fury before. what do you believe is necessary to get his attention? >> well, i think that's the problem is no one knows how to get his attention. so all you can do is continue to let him know what could happen if he doesn't stop. but i can tell you everyone is trying to get his attention. japan and south korea are very grateful to us. china has tried dialogue and that relationship has broken down. everyone is trying to figure out how to get to him. that's the problem. we just don't know how. >> ambassador haley, thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you so much. let's go now to norah in washington at a working trip. she has new developments involving health care and tax reform.
7:18 am
norah, good morning to you. >> reporter: good morning to you, gayle. a lot happening here in washington. republicans are expressing confidence about a new last-ditch effort to replace parts of paumcare. it would eliminate slfrdable care act insurance subsidies and give states a lump sum to create their own health care systems. >> i'm trying to take the money and power in washington and send it back closer to the patient. >> chief congressional correspondent nancy cordes is here. so, nancy, what do we know? does it have a chance of passing? >> it really does have a chance. remember that the last gop health care bill failed thanks to a last-minute no vote by senator john mccain. back then, he argued the bill hadn't been subjected to a single hearing. well, guess what, they have set up a hearing on this plan for this coming monday and mccain's vote is now very much in play. unlike the previous repeal plans, this bill would not
7:19 am
eliminate all of obamacare's taxes. what it would do is turn that revenue from those taxes over to the states to then come up with their own systems for boosting coverage. and depending on the state, people with pre-existing conditions could once again pay more. funding for obamacare's federal insurance subsidies and medicaid expansion would end soon, in 2020. republicans would need to round up the votes for this plan by the end of next week. that's the deadline, norah, to pass this bill with just 51 senators rather than 60. >> another big vote we'll be watching, nancy, thank you so much. coming up we'll talk about another big priority for republicans, tax reform. we spoke to two of the country's top ceos, jamie dimon and ginni rometty about what they want done and want done now. we'll hear from them

wraps, but yesterday we spoke here in washington to two of the country's most high profile chief executives, jamie dimon of jp morgan chase and we talked about how the government can help accelerate economic growth. jamie, what's the single most important thing congress can do to jump start the economy? >> single most important thing bar none is tax reform. it is important because business vibrancy creates jobs and wages. >> are we going to get tax reform or tax cuts? >> we certainly hope. >> yeah. >> we are going to give everything we can to get real reform because modest tax cuts won't make difference. we need a simpler system both for individuals and corporations to have a more excesstive system. we are driven three trillion dollars reinvested overseas because people can do a better job for their shareholder if it is reinvested overseas. >> because the corporate tax rate is too high?
8:06 am
>> the corporate tax rate and it is a huge advantage for foreign companies to buy american companies. >> the big picture for everyone is us being competitive means the economy grows and more jobs. >> what would happen if you cut the corporate tax rate, which is about 35% now, to, let's say, 20%? what would happen? what would the effect be? >> it is going to cause economic growth and jobs. you know, as any company you think about -- just all of us, when you do your own budget at home, you plan your budget on your after tax dollar. you decide what kind of house i can buy, what am i going to do on vacation. you do all of that with your after tax money. same is true with business. >> the president seems to be signaling he would rescind his promise to cut the very top individual tax rate which is now 39.6%. he would leave it at that amount for the wealthiest americans. would you support that? >> look, i'm -- i don't have a real issue about any of that. >> we're fine. we want them to do what is right for the country. we're looking at what is broadly good for the country, not for our own personal pockets.
8:07 am
>> translator: that july earnings call, jamie, where you said it is almost an embarrassment being an american citizen. >> yeah, let me correct that. i am very proud to be an american citizen, but we have a bunch of problems which is why we're going slowly and we have these problems. it is infrastructure, tax trade, and the reason to do those things is jobs and wages. the embarrassment was i read it takes ten years, i think that's accurate, to get permits to build one bridge. it took 17 years to build the freedom tower. it took 18 months to build the empire state building. you know, we were the can-donation that gets stuff done and we've lost it. i want to get it back. >> i was on the cuomo bridge with the governor, the new bridge which is fantastic and it has taken half a century to build that bridge. >> exactly. >> think what we could do if you remove some of the road blocks, what we would unleash here. that's what it is about. >> let me ask you about microsoft. i know you have lobbied and talked to senators about daca. microsoft's president said daca is more important than tax reform. what needs to be done on that
8:08 am
issue? >> daca is an important topic. i don't think there's a disagreement the importance of the dreamers, the kids that were brought here by their parents. they're productive employees in our companies. i have over 30 in ibm, and i think it is a priority to get that settled, how they can legally be here. >> i totally agree. it is a moral thing. you know, i don't think it has a big economic effect on taxes but it is hard to take 800,000 kids and not say they deserve the right to stay and have the opportunity here when they're brought in that way. >> no fault of their own. >> so we put it high up as important. almost every company we know made a strong statement supporting daca. >> jamie, you have a busy day job but you've been spinding a lot of time in washington. how many trips have you made this year? >> think it is number 21 or 22, but still doing my job for my shareholder. >> why is it so critical to spend so much time here? you've seen the word shadow president, jamie dimon, but -- >> i would vote for him. >> she's my friend. jamie for president.
8:09 am
>> here's the ticket right here. why is it important for you to spend time here? >> we all spend time because it is so important now. >> there's like one more layer down i would add on to this. how do you make change really happen? you have to engage. so the right word to me is engagement. it is not just about, you know, writing a statement and putting it in a newspaper. that isn't how you get change. this is democracy, there are people with different voices, so i think that's really what our job is, to help for the policies that are really important, to come and help engage, to get that to change and have people, you know, make change in this country. >> that's why she should be president. >> so clearly they got along well, but what is interesting is both of them are optimistic that tax reform could get done by the end of this year. the question is whether republicans can get it done. i think the interesting thing is president trump is now reaching out to democrats on the very issue, hoping that there could be some bipartisan agreement.
8:10 am
i think that's why we saw president trump talking about making sure it isn't a tax cut for the wealthiest americans. >> probably good news for the president since he very much wants a legislative victory before the end of the year. >> interesting to hear them weigh in on daca as well. >> norah, you're going to start presidential rumors again with jamie dimon. >> i think it was a little bit of a love fest. i don't think either are considering a political future. >> yeah, but, you know, that doesn't stop a rumor. thank you very much, norah. we will see you at the table again tomorrow. christine lagarde is regarded as one of the world's most influential women. ahead, the managing director of the international monetary fund joins us with her world view and what she thinks about president trump's speech to the united nations. she is h

me to do the easy things. you elect me to do the right thing. why was it the right thing to do? you spoke with such passion about it. >> you know, as the nation tries to lurch towards healing, it is really important that people feel open and inclusive. the city of new orleans has always prided itself on being a diverse place, a place where all people are welcome, a place where all kinds of people can come and enjoy themselves. those monuments have been up there as a testament to, in my opinion, what was a false narrative of history. you have a city that's 67% african-american. individuals have to walk by those statues in public places of reverence and it was not who i thought the city of new orleans was. i thought it was important to correct history. >> you said we were a city a country of two truths and we can't ignore both truths. >> i think that's absolutely true. one of the things we've been doing since katrina is rebuilding the city of new orleans, not the way she was but the way she would have been if
8:18 am
we got it right the first time. this nation had a difficult time struggling with the history of the civil war. those monuments were put up purposefully and intentionally to send a message that for some reason the confederacy would not become part of the united states of america. it was important to state really clearly that's not who we were as a people. >> what is interesting is some people said, where does it all start when you start taking down monuments. john meachem raised that point in a piece he wrote. the person that the monument was erected on the public property. washington and jefferson each owned slaves, but each was committed to the transparent idea. >> yeah, i think he's correct about that. there's a clear delineation between revering certain people and others. these individuals put these monuments up because -- to honor them for trying to destroy the nation, not to support the nation, to really deny the issues of liberty and justice for everybody, not to support it. so that's not who we ever were in the city of new orleans.
8:19 am
so they didn't reflect our values, and so i thought it was really important we take them down. >> do you believe that those places should be replaced by monuments to other ideas and other people? >> i think the people in communities ought to use the public places in ways that lift people up and not tear them down. i think each community has to construct either monuments or other pieces of art or green spaces that reflect who they are as a people, and that celebrate who we are in an affirming way, not a destructive way. those particular monuments were put up by the daughters of the confederacy pursuant to something called the cult of the lost cause, which of course really honored us not being a nation. that is why it was really important just to reflect what our true history was. by the way, they were put up way after the civil war. they were kind of a historical lie essentially. >> one of the reasons that speech went viral is because you clearly put a lot of thought into the words and language that you use. i'm curious when you hear our president speak and some of the colorful language he chooses, like yesterday even at the
8:20 am
united nations calling kim jong-un the rocket man, what is your reaction to some of the language this president has used? is it helpful do you think on the world stage? >> i think it is wrong headed and i don't think it is helpful at all. this speech that i gave was an invitation for people to look into their souls and to really kind of discern where we had been and where we're going and to come together as a people, to transform to a better place. that's what that was about. it wasn't an antagonisting speech designed to pummel people or beat them into submission. that doesn't really work. that speech yesterday was actually sad, and i think that most americans are going to think that historically. >> like we said, the number of people tuning in and listening to your speech continues to grow. your words of wisdom. thank you so much for joining us today, mayor. >> thank you very much. >> we appreciate it. good to see you former "saturday night live" cast member bobbie moynihan will star in a new comedy on cbs. he will be in studio 57 with why
