wednesday fire rescue crews responded to a cardiac arrest, an hour later another 911 call, a patient having trouble breathing. a fire official reported concerns about the facility, when rescuers responded to a third call, they found three dead bodies on the second floor, that was described as extremely hot, an evacuation order began 6:15 a.m. in coordination with staff from memorial hospital across the street. it took three hours to evacuate all 158 patients. many filed out on stretchers and in wheelchairs. they were taken to various local hospitals and treated for respiratory distress, dehydration and heat related issues. family members frantically searched for loved ones. the nursing home has a poor record with regulators and is ranked as much below average with a one out of five rating on a federal nursing home ranking website, and a statement the facility says they immediately contacted florida power and

7:09 am
change that? >> look, i know that this event will raise awareness to this circumstan circumstance. i expect the legislature going into session later this year actually will not avoid looking at this. this needs to be looked at right away by our state and the regulating agencies and action needs to be taken. i think this makes it more clear than ever. >> mayor josh levy, we're sorry for what people had to suffer there. thank you for joining us this morning. president trump will fly to southwest florida this morning to see the hurricane damage. county official said eight people died in the florida keys during irma. the deaths were "storm related and due to natural causes." at least 40 people injured. the lower keys are still blocked off. elaine quijano is on windley key, that's near isla marada,

7:16 am
border wall funding that democrats hate, but conservatives will see that as a betrayial and the white house knows that. >> we're going to mr. a wall, folks. >> reporter: white house aides insisted the president was not going back on that campaign promise, after democratic leaders said he had agreed to enshrine the protections of daca into law quickly and to work out a package of border security excluding the wall. white house press secretary sarah sanders quickly shot back "while daca and border security were both discussed, excluding the wall was certainly not agreed to." >> more and more, trying to work things out together. >> reporter: the president made the same promiless to a bipartisan group of lawmakers earlier in the day. democrat henry cuellar. >> we're not tying the wall to daca. >> reporter: democratic sources say mr. trump has a soft spot for the d.r.e.a.m.ers and liked the reaction he got for cutting another bipartisan deal over the
7:17 am
debt ceiling last week. conservative congressman steve king tweeted "if the president is backing off the wall, trump base is blown up, destroyed, irreparable and disillusioned beyond repair. no promise is credible." breitbart called the president "amnesty don." former white house chief strategist told charlie rose a deal on daca would alienate the president's supporters. >> there's no path to citizenship, no path to a green card and no amnesty. amnesty is nonnegotiable. >> reporter: but president trump himself countered this morning, "does anybody really want to throw out good educated and accomplished young people who have jobs, some serving in the military? really!" aides have said before, gayle, that he is okay leaving wall funding out of this package as long as he gets it in some other bill. >> all right, thank you, nancy. there are growing indications this morning that social media executives will be called to testify about russian activity on their websites.

police in south florida say the deaths of eight patients in a nursing home appear to be heat related. the home was evacuated yesterday after hurricane irma knocked out air conditioning. >> florida governor rick scott ordered emergency workers to check all nursing homes in the state to make sure patients are safe. jonathan vigliotti is outside the nursing home in hollywood, florida. jonathan, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, the nursing home is located directly across the street from hospital that had power and air conditioning. inside several patients that are seeking treatment, three people died inside the home, five people died in or on the way to the hospital. it took three hours to evacuate all 158 patients. many were taken out in wheelchairs and stretchers. here's the time line of how this unfolded. at 3:00 a.m. yesterday, fire crews responded to a 911 call from the nursing home due to a cardiac arrest. an hour later we're told there
8:03 am
was another 911 call for a patient with breathing issues. when rescuers responded to a third call, they found three dead patients and that's when they began evacuating. the nursing home has come under scrutiny before. federal regulators gave it a one out of five for health inspection rating considered "much below average." the center said it did not lose power during the storm but a transformer that powers an air conditioning unit went down. the facility says when that happened, they reached out to florida power & light and set up a mobile cooling unit for fans and we spoke with one woman whose friend was inside this nursing home. she went to visit her yesterday, an 85-year-old woman, she says she was gasping for air. and gayle, this morning we're learning that she was among the eight victims. >> oh, boy, jonathan, thank you very much. hollywood police chief tom sanchez is with us now and also at the nursing home which as you might expect is now closed. chief sanchez, thank you so much for joining us. this is just a heartbreaking story --
8:04 am
>> good morning. >> thank you, sir. the ages of the patients, the conditions in which they died, the temperatures, and then to know that the power wasn't working, that the power was working but the air conditioning was not. i know that the investigation is in its early stages but what can you tell us about what you have learned so far? >> so listen, you're right, this is a tragic event. the senseless loss of these eight individuals' lives. as the time line you just reported, when we, the police got here at 6:30, we assisted with the evacuation, as soon as the 158 other patients were evacuated outside the facility, we sealed the facility as a crime scene. we worked hand in hand with memorial hospital right next door, and our fire department to triage each of the patients, classify them as their need of care, get buses here. we inundated the south florida area hospitals with these patients. we set up a tent for families,
8:05 am
and a phone number for them to be able to know where they can find their families. >> why do you think it took so long -- >> we began a criminal investigation -- >> -- for officials to realize this was a very serious situation? >> right, we're looking into that now. i can tell you that it's not uncommon for fire rescue to respond here. we responded here over 100 times last year for different types of medical calls, so the first call that was cardiac arrest around 3:00, as you stated, and that person was taken over to memorial hospital, sadly enough, that was one of the patients that passed away just a little bit after 3:00 in the afternoon yesterday. and then by the second time the call came, difficulty breathing, the fire lieutenant the third time they came out they sounded the alarm. they started notifying people, and then that's when the response came in, and as fire crews were inside. >> chief --
8:06 am
>> they determined three other individuals had passed away. >> chief, how many other nursing homes, i heard as many 40 in your area may not have electricity? >> right, well that's a very good question. as a preventative measure i sent out officers to all 42 nursing homes yesterday. there was one that we found that did not have sufficient electricity, and it was very hot inside as was the nursing home here that we're investigating. we made the determination to have that nursing home evacuated. it was very small, and the five patients were brought also here to hollywood memorial hospital. i can tell you that one positive of this is the department was ready. my day started out yesterday morning addressing 230 police officers at 7:00 a.m., as they came on shift, to deal with the hurricane aftermath. you know, we luckily did not get
8:07 am
hit by the storm but we had extensive damage throughout the city and power outages. more than 130 cops were manning traffic lights, some of them have been on shift for more than ten days and so we had all the detectives already working. they were part of the first responders that came out here to help with evacuation so the investigation was able to start quickly. we're the only police department that i know of that two years ago started a program -- >> i know. >> -- with the state agency for, that investigates the health administration department and we go out to every -- >> chief sanchez? >> yes, ma'am. >> i was going to say i know how stretched thin and how your team is working so hard, so thanks to all of them, and i know you're working so hard to make sure this doesn't happen again so thank you so much for all that your team does. >> thank you, ma'am. president trump left the white house a short time ago to visit some of hurricane irma's other victims. the president is flying to naples near the spot on marco

8:11 am
quickly to address the legal status of these d.r.e.a.m.ers and the obvious way to do it is to combine the d.r.e.a.m. act with the border security funding that republicans want, while excluding the border wall funding that is a non-starter for democrats. but the president realizes that this is going to cause a lot of heartburn mopping his base and that's why he's also tweeting this morning that the wall will still get built. >> but there is this central question. does this really represent a new beginning in relationships between democrats in congress and republicans in congress, but especially between democrats and the president? >> i think what it says is that the president likes to be able to not just cut deals, but cut quick deals and he's able to do that with democrats. he knows that when nancy pelosi or chuck schumer say that we've got the vote for x, y and z that they're going to be right. it's a lot more messy when he's dealing with the republican leaders who have a lot of
8:12 am
factions within their rank and file, and who once they work something out with the white house need to say now we'll go back and we'll poll our members and see if they can get on board so there's a lot of back and forth and as you saw with health care, for example, often it all falls apart. these deals with democrats in comparison are relatively clean, and clearly the president likes that. >> is he simply more comfortable with chuck schumer because they're both new yorkers, one from queens and one from brooklyn? >> i think that helps, and i think that as one source put it last night, the president truly does have a soft spot for d.r.e.a.m.ers, and he does want to be able to do something about their legal status. >> it's always interesting to watch. thank you very much, nancy cordes. grammy award winning singer selena gomez just revealed to her 126 million fans on instagram that she received a kidney transplant. ahead, how a close friend gave the ultimate gift to the pop star in her
