good morning. i'm jo ling kent. it's 7:00 in the east. 4:00 out west. dorian still a hurricane swirling off the eastern seaboard now impacting and felt in parts all across the u.s.. the latest forecast is coming up next. >> nowhere to turn. parts of the bahamas laid to waste by the storm. desperation has hundreds try to flee to other islands with so much suddenly gone. congress looking into military sleepovers at one of the president's golf courses and involves millions of dollars. >> one big mystery emerging from the boat fire that killed nearly everyone on board. could tragedy have been averted. >> starting right now with the
4:02 am
contenders in 2020. candidates are descending on the state of new hampshire. with the nation's first in the primary election, just around the corner. the new hampshire democratic convention today will host 19 contenders and nbc's vaughn hillyard has been in manchester for us where the convention is set to kick off in less than two hours. vaughn, you are there and i see mayor pete buttigieg right behind you there. what's going on. what your hearing from voters? >> jo, welcome from new hampshire. this is a major day in new hampshire. democratic presidential politics. you got 19 candidates along with pretty much all of their activists across new england here. those 19 candidates are going to be inside of this arena here in manchester throughout the day. their activist julian assange have been out here since before the sun came down. you have delegates inside that arena that includes officials,
4:03 am
activists, but thousands of members from the public. we've been here -- last hour we talked the to joe biden people. i want the to introduce to carrie. what led you to volunteer for cory booker? >> i met him in april at a house party and i loved what he had to say. >> reporter: have you done one much these state conventions before? >> no. >> reporter: what brings you out this morning. >> i started volunteering for his campaign in small ways and i feel i can follow his positive message and the change he wants for this country. >> reporter: i appreciate it. we got more than activists. we've also got the likes of the presidential candidates that are showing up here before 7:00 a.m. this morning. also as you see mayor pete buttigieg is here with his activists, meeting a lot of different types of people here. we don't want to interrupt mayor pete buttigieg as he talks. good to see you.
4:04 am
you got everybody here this morning. >> yes. they are concerned about the future of the country. volunteers excited about where the campaign is headed. what we're seeing right now is just a lot of energy. it shows you that we have flipped the switch from labor day, leading up to labor day is one phase of the campaign. this is a whole new level. >> reporter: we're five months away from the new hampshire primary. it's 7:00 a.m. why are you here this morning? >> i'm here because this is in many ways the unofficial kick-off of when campaign season begins in earnest. you see the level of energy among the level of volunteers and you see the passion among folks including activists who are really committed to the future of this country being better than where we are right now. and, you know, this is the thick of things. the last few days is when voters make up their minds. these weeks and months ahead is when the ground game comes into place that delivers us a win.
4:05 am
>> reporter: what's your message? >> we need a new generation of leadership and walk away from the politics of the past. unify the country around values that we actually have in common. but do it in a way that is going to propel us forward. we can't go on like this as a country and definitely can't go on with a white house like we got right now. we need a different kind of leadership. >> reporter: mayor pete buttigieg, have a fun day. >> thank you. >> reporter: jo, these are the sort of sights here, trying to interrupt the candidate because there are a lot of people here this moaning, jo that are trying to engage candidates and their campaign organizations. >> vaughn it's interesting to hear you talk with mayor pete there about the campaign. he said he wants to make climate change about religion. that's one of his new central issues. he's hitting the air waves with a lot of new ads with the money, the war chest that he raised over the past few months in terms of fundraising.
4:06 am
where do you think mayor pete actually stands from your analysis in new hampshire going into the primary right now? >> reporter: well, i think not only do they have wonderful fundraising but what that money, jo, has allowed them to do here is to have the largest support for any candidate in new hampshire. 56 staffers here in new hampshire. more than any of these candidates. elizabeth warren is also in the 50s. kamala harris is just over 20. essentially when you look at a state like this, that allows field organizers to knock on doors, go and begin to establish those connections, not only with potential voters but with volunteers in building up that network. so mayor pete buttigieg is walking into a coalition that's quite strong five months out and at least puts him in a position to run a very formidable
4:07 am
campaign over the next five months. >> right. vaughn hillyard on the ground there. amanda and julia are there on the ground as well. you guys are doing a great job and we'll come back to you a little bit later in this hour. joining us now is chief washington correspondent for bloomberg news and national political correspondent for yahoo! news. kevin, to you, you see this campaign trail, the rowdy pictures out of new hampshire. what do you make -- yeah they are really excited. the democratic convention there i covered it before. ate great moment for all the candidates to get to know voters especially in this critical fall kick offthere. you're watching live pictures of mayor pete and his husband on the campaign trail taking it all in. kevin, what do you think the white house is thinking at this point given all the action in new hampshire? what is the psychology in the white house right now? >> i think from the republican perspective they are trying to continue to double down on key
4:08 am
crucial states like michigan, wisconsin, ohio and pennsylvania. what you're seeing with the democrats right now is a real palpable sense of momentum and activation on the grassroots side in order for them, whoever is the nominee, for them to try to seize upon in a general election. the question for mayor pete buttigieg will be whether or not he can make the case in houston later this week on that third democratic presidential debate to really draw a contrast from the likes of former vice president joe biden. you heard that when he told vaughn that he believes that the democrats need a new generation of leadership. that generational argument is going to be something i think he's going to double down on during that debate. but really, you know, we can't look at this in a vacuum. you have senator elizabeth warren who has consistently been at the top of the polls. you got bernie sanders as well. and then, of course, biden. look in the next couple of days for all of these candidates to sharpen their contrast and i'm
4:09 am
really paying attention to the economic messaging of the likes of elizabeth warren versus someone like joe biden. they will be on the same stage for the first time in a few days. >> looking at those economic numbers and how it's worked for president trump. you had a job numbers that missed. payroll numbers was a big win. those numbers were strong. how should the economy be framed if you're a democratic candidate running for office? how does the message change, if at all this week? >> i think you're going to see some continuation what we've seen on the road from kamala harris. republicans are not focusing on the economy and the stock market. there's a lot of nuance in the argument. so of course we're not in the recession. that's good for the entire country. the looming forecast of a possible recession on the horizon, something that democrats will be doubling down
4:10 am
on in texas when they only have a couple of minutes to differentiate themselves from other candidate and president trump. >> we'll come back to you guys in a little bit here. i want to get to some breaking news on hurricane dorian. this is what people in north carolina and outer banks are waking up to this morning. we're talking about streets and homes completely submerged in ocracoke island. 800 people stranded in the area after ignoring evacuation areas. much of this entire region is without power. this is what cape hatteras looked like when dorian made landfall here in the u.s.. cars stuck in those raging floodwaters. terrifying scene there of about 15 inches of rain. vicious storm surge. the governor is saying food, water and rescue crews have been dispatched the to help those strand and are in need of medical assistance. in the bahamas ground zero for dorian. the storm stayed parked over the islands. you can see thousands of people
4:11 am
there trying to leave the devastated island. the death toll has risen to 43 on and expected to climb further as rescue crews clear more of that debris, the fallen trees and all of that destruction. dorian hit the bahamas as a category 5 as you know and stalled there for 24 hours. nasa estimates it dumped 36 inches of rain on the bahamas. the category 1 hurricane is now speeding towards canada. until packing powerful sustained winds up to 85 miles per hour. still moving north along the east coast. it may be felt in massachusetts and maine later today. here's more from nbc's chris palone. all right we had some problems with that package. we'll go to katie beck. you're in nags head, north carolina. you've seen some devastating
4:12 am
destruction. how is everybody doing recovering and weathering this storm? >> reporter: well today, jo, the skies are clear. the rain and wind has moved out and what is left behind is the damage and clean up efforts that will start today. it took ten days for dorian to get here but just a couple of hours for her to do all of this. the road to recovery. just beginning for coastal north carolina. hurricane dorian making a devastating last landfall stop on the way out to sea. the storm now heading north, making waves along the mid-atlantic on its way to coastal new england. >> the hurricane has left behind destruction. >> reporter: an event people orable even to outer banks locals like casey who ride out hurricanes every year. >> the back end was pretty tough. the wind and stuff was pretty impressive. >> reporter: the powerful storm leaving thousands without power this morning. many already starting to clean up the mess left behind.
4:13 am
ocracoke island swallowed friday by flash flooding. dorian storm surge forcing waters to rise seven feet in two hours. washing away cars. hundreds stranded in need of rescue. the coast guard bringing medical help and supplies. the punishing winds in nags head strong enough to blow off the roof of this beach front building. >> it's bad. it's a pretty big piece of something to be flying around in the air. >> reporter: and south of the outer banks recovery and progress after a reported 20 tornadoes tore through homes turning communities inside out. power crews with their work cut-out, trying to restore what they can. the wind and rain of dorian has moved out. but the impact of the storm still being felt. now, jo, this is actually a closer look at that roof we
4:14 am
mentioned a moment ago. actually blew clear off the building and into this parking lot. wred some yesterday some of us were minutes behind. we heard it hit the ground. damage like this is keeping officials with a curfew in place at least through today. they will be assessing the damage, downed power lines trying to make certain it's not too dangerous for people the to return before they lift those evacuation orders. now to the bahamas where rescue and recovery efforts are under way as the death toll has risen to 43. the prime minister expects that number will grow significantly. nbc's morgan cheskey has more. >> reporter: nonstop search-and-rescue effort going on here at the airport in nassau. relief camps are being set up on the other side of the fences for
4:15 am
people who arrive here from abako island. that death toll is at more than 40 and fear people are still out there in desperate need of help. this morning heartbreak in the northern bahamas. survivors forced to start over amid dorian's destruction. >> my home is gone. everything is gone. >> reporter: as many as thousands still unaccounted for. home after home destroyed. and frustration running high. in a town of marsh harbor dozens gather near the airport hoping, waiting and praying for a chance to leave the island they used to call home. >> i know the helicopters and planes have been going nonstop now. >> yes, they have. >> you are here. what your hoping for? >> hoping to get out of here so we can make it back to nassau and get in contact our loved ones. >> reporter: for those unable to
4:16 am
leave help can't come fast enough. >> there's no more marsh harbor. >> nothing? >> nothing. everything is gone. no clothes to wear. no food to eat. >> reporter: here in the bahamas the buildings have to be built to with stand a category 4 hurricane. a quick look around in any neighborhood show us the difference with a category 5 and what it can do. so far the coast guard has rescued more than 200 people. as relief efforts start in earnest the prime minister is pleading for patience. >> we can't move all of you at one time. >> reporter: now a frantic effort to ferry survivors to safety. even a local telecom company shipping in supplies and evacuating the stranded. but in the face of unthinkable destruction some displaying remarkable optimism. >> we'll make it.
4:17 am
>> reporter: those search-and-rescue efforts are going to be wrong going throughout the day. bahamian officials still trying to get a full inventory of the devastation that dorian left behind. meanwhile those officials rise. >> thank you so much for your coverage all weekend bringing us that. so important to see where recovery efforts are going. that storm of controversy at the white house spawned by dorian with yet another twist that's new this weekend. the noaa, a federal government agency reversing course yesterday stating information provided for the president said dorian could impact alabama which contrast the information the spokesperson made just days before. joining me now again is our washington correspondent for bloomberg news and national
4:18 am
correspondent for yahoo! news. guys thanks for coming back. any indication the white house pressured noaa to do this? >> look, i have not -- i'll be completely the transparent. i have not been following sharpy gate as closely as i should have. it's been dominating conversations inside the white house press corps as everyone has been chatting about this. the president doubled down essentially saying there was a forecast path that the hurricane dorian ultimately could have impacted some other states, but, you know, to be completely transparent i've not been following this as closely as i should have been. >> there's a lot to cover with the this white house. i completely understand that. you got a bunch of issues to look at here. brittney, the president tweeted on friday that this has never happened to another president, suggesting he's waiting for someone somewhere perhaps the immediate where a to apologize. but my question is why does the president continue to dig into this because we have many other
4:19 am
issues that matter a whole lot more than this internal thing? >> well, it's a great question, jo. kevin, empathize on not being able to be on everything. we were eager to hear what the president said on alabama or sharpygate. he didn't take any questions. he started tweeting about an hour or two about the fake new press. you're seeing two narratives. access to medical facilities. another narrative from the trump campaign of what they can do with a pretty rocky political news cycle. last week john bolton was with
4:20 am
the president. his aide was fired for some comments she made off the record. so the trump campaign what can we do? we can change the press narrative about sharpies and maps. they are selling branded markers. so what the end game is moving the ball, whether it's distracting or not is a whole other question but just being able to game and switch as devastation is rocking the south of the country. >> can forget north carolina, and other areas of the country certainly directly impacted by dorian. guys, we covered it all right here. we want to make sure we got it covered because it is a national security and safety issue. if there's misinformation being put out there especially as the president continues to dig in his heels and we can't forget these mick numbers matter. foreign policy matters and we got it all covered. thanks to you both.

mike you've been dissecting this this morning. why does this keep coming up out of the white house >> that's a good question. as dorian left a trail of devastation and continued throaten the east coast the president kept up his fight over the forecast. this friday brought another ominous sign of slowing economy. the agency in charge of weather forecasting noaa now wrapped up in president trump's latest controversy over whether alabama was in hurricane dorian's path. on sunday the national weather service in birmingham tweeted alabama will not see any impacts from dorian in direct response from mr. trump's tweet about the path. on friday noaa backed the president saying its data released from august 28th through monday demonstrated tropical storm force winds could impact alabama and scolded one of its agency over sunday tweet saying they spoke in absolute terms that were inconsistent with probabilities from the best
4:26 am
forecast products available at the time. as the president continued his skirmish over last week's weather forecast more signs after slowing economy. with the 130,000 jobs added in august falling short of estimates while the unemployment rate stayed steady at 3.7% the president took to twitter to bash some familiar targets. first blaming the economy for stories what he believes is a strong economy. then lashing out at jerome powell his own appointee tweet diagnose i find this guy engineer roam? oh, well you can win them all. this as powell eased economic jitters in a pre-scheduled speech in europe. >> our main expectation is that there will not be recession. >> reporter: as far as the trade war with china his point man says it's all under control. >> we have no immediate urgency if that's what you're asking. there's no anti-recession policy making because we don't see version. >> reporter: so jo the president
4:27 am
has been attacking his appointee jerome powell for months now. in that speech in switzerland, jerome powell left the impression that he'll be easing those federal interest rates from the federal reserve something that the president has been calling for for quite some time. >> joining us to discuss this is phillip drucker. i want to stick to jobs numbers. we got 130,000 jobs added in august. lower than expected. wages did go up. this so this is a mixed bag, a mixed picture here in terms of economic slow down. so is the administration really worried here? is that why we see this stuff going on? >> jo, there's a great deal of concern and there has been for a few weeks now about a possible slow down in the economy. that's not to say the numbers we saw yesterday indicated a slow down. but there's concern the that over the next month, coming ahead and into next year that
4:28 am
there could be a cooling, perhaps even so bad as a recession and if that were to happen it would be very politically damaging for the president, the strong economy is his calling card for re-election, his best hope for a second term and the administration, this is one of the reasons why they've been trying to come up with some actions that the president could take to shore up the economy and prevent a recession. >> so there's been a mix bag if you look deeper into that labor report you saw for the past couple of months the numbers of jobs created were both revised downward for the prior two months. those are numbers that made headlines, that stuff matters in terms of job creation. then you have kudlow there saying at the white house that there's no immediate urgency when it comes to resolving the tariffs and the trade war here. what did you make of that? because a lot of big companies and shoppers going into the retail season do feel an immediate urgency when it comes to prices. >> yeah.
4:29 am
you're absolutely right. it doesn't quite make sense because what investors, what companies want most out of the my is certainty. and delaying this trade war, continuing it with china without any sort of deal or resolution creates uncertainty which is a problem for the markets. we've seen the administration make some moves in the last few tweaks address this. they announced last month they would delay the tariffs on some goods from china until after the christmas holiday shopping season in order to prevent a dip in retail sales. that's addressing the concerns from companies. but folks are really looking for certainty from the president and he's continuing this trade war, instead. >> so, the president this morning is awake. and he has tweeted about some of your reporting along with ashley parker, another reporter at the "washington post". have you seen this? >> i have. i was actually on the "today" show a few minutes ago when my phone started lighting up. look this is a continued line
4:30 am
from the president and the white house all week for a story that ashley and i wrote last weekend about the president's summer, taking stock of his accomplishments as well as his challenges. we're proud of that story. we stand by our reporting. we included the white house perspective in that story which is that they consider this summer of historic achievement but a lot of other people who work for the president and who are supporters of the president outside of the white house think otherwise and thought it was a summer of self-sabotage, the racist attacks of the congresswomen of color, the way he handled the mass shootings in el paso and dayton so our story takes stock of the full picture and president trump doesn't like what he read but ate story we are proud of. >> you stand by your reporting. >> we do. >> i wonder why does that gulf to seemingly grow, what we see and hear from your reporting in the white house versus what outsiders feel about this president here. there seems to be two different
4:31 am
opinions from inside and outside the white house. how big of a problem do you think that is going into 2020? >> it's a bit of a problem and i would point out that the difference is also within the white house. so there's a point ever view that comes out in the official press statements on the record from the white house spokes people is that everything is wonderful and great. then you talk privately with sources that work in the white house and they acknowledge the difficulties and challenges facing the president. you know, this may well continue. it doesn't seem there's much of a legislative agenda. the president is getting ready to be in full-time campaign mode and has been going week to week dealing with his grievances and the issues of the day and the controversy such as the storm issue over alabama which stretched on all week long. >> right. >> i imagine that pattern will continue. >> you also spent a lot of time on the campaign trail. >> as you. >> yes, together we've been through all of the primary
4:32 am
states together. from iowa to new hampshire and south carolina and north carolina. when is it too late for the president to actually start enacting policy and doing things to fulfill promises that could potentially help him going into 2020? when have voters already made up their minds in term of those critical swing voters. is it until the very end? >> theoretically it's never too late. the challenge for president trump the democrats control the house of representatives and they are very unlikely to pass any of his top agenda items or give him any wins heading into the alexandria. the conventional wisdom rather is this year is the last chance to get anything meaningful done and that when the calendar the turns to 2020 it's kind of full-time campaign all year long. those iowa caucuses, new hampshire primaries, that process begins pretty early in the year next yearer and just continue and intensify through

new hampshire. we're five months away from the primary. today is the big democratic party convention. what you see is people essentially walking down the middle of the road. a line of people waiting for elizabeth warren. then you have over here a bunch of activists and volunteers that have lined up, they were here starting 3:00, 4:00 a.m. this is the big convention hall. the convention will be where 19 candidates will speak. i want to introduce to one volunteer for the warren campaign. josh why your volunteering? have you done one of these before? >> so for me, elizabeth warren has so much passion that i haven't seen in politics in my entire life. >> how old are new. >> 29. >> have you done this before? >> i canvassed for hillary
