cancellation of an appearance with the speaker of the house tomorrow and that's next. against pay that helps hard working families get ahead. katie o/c: for my daughters and yours, i'll fight for equal pay for women. families need it; you've earned it. katie v/o: i'm katie mcginty, and i approve this message because it's your turn to get ahead. action news, delaware valley's leading news program with jim gardner. the donald trump campaign has been thrown into chaos because of this tape. it records trump making sexually aggressive comments about women and about his ability to grope

women because he is a star. over the past hours there have been calls for him to step aside. and emergency meetings by the gop. we will have the full story and reaction in just in a moment. but on this friday night the big story on action news tonight is the life threatening storm lashing the southeast coastline at this very moment. hurricane matthew has weakened a bit, but it is still a dangerous category two storm with winds up to 110 miles an hour. it has claimed at least four lives in florida. and it has knocked out power to more than a million people. matthew has not even technically made land fall yet, skirting along the coastline, just out to sea. that may have spared even more devastating effects as it didn't strike the sunshine state's most heavily populated areas. now it's setting its sights on georgia and south carolina where they are expecting a significant

storm surge. we saw a wall of water broke through barriers and transformed streets into rivers. millions of people are under evacuation orders. and we are seeing the utter destruction in haiti where reports vary between 300 and 900 dead. cecily tynan joins us now with the latest information on the track of hurricane matthew. >> and, jim, hurricane matthew is now north of florida. weakened somewhat. it's still a category two hurricane. maximum sustained winds down to 105 miles per hour. it's 70 miles southeast of savannah, georgia. very close to land and continues to push some very heavy rain. this is some of the heaviest near the eye wall. see how close it is to savannah. moving to the north. if it continues continues that t will be hitting south carolina early tomorrow. now, i want to show you, this is a live picture that we do have from -- i was told from

savannah. and heavy rain there. could get 4 to 8 inches, and a 6 to 9 foot storm surge. the latest from the national hurricane center, maximum sustained winds, 105 miles an hour. weakening as it interacts with land. moving due north. and will continue the track and begin to make a turn to the northeast. it's a close call whether it will make land fall near charleston, south carolina, or skim the coast. it will move closer to north carolina as a cat one. and weakening to a tropical storm and perhaps returning to the bahamas in a much-weakened state next week. how we get all of this information, we have some amazing video out of the hurricane hunters that actually fly into the center of the storm. put this in play. there we go. you can see what these guys are dealing with. fly through the eye wall. collect atmospheric pressure, wind data, temperature data. they've got to have a very

strong stomach. and that's how we create our forecast. and you can actually see the eye right there of matthew. more details on the impacts of the storm also tracks of rain our way this weekend in the accuweather forecast. jim. >> thank you, cecily. now, to the video tape that is 11 years old that merged today of donald trump making comments about women. comments that are lewd, offensive, and maybe politically crippling. the washington post obtained the tape. it was recorded in 2005 while trump was on a bus with entertainment reporter billy bush. roll ugh to want set of a soap opera on which he was making a cameo appearance. it starts with trump talking about a host of the show, access hollywood. >> i moved on her and i failed. i'll admit it. >> whoa. >> i did try to [ bleep ] her. she was married. >> then moments later, right before meeting an actress he was going to work with, these comments. >> i got to use some tick tacks just in case i start kissing

her. you know, i'm automatically attracted to beautiful -- i just statices canning -- kissing them like a magnet. when you're a star, you can do whatever you want. grab them by the [ bleep ] do anything. >> already tonight trump has issued this statement. this was locker room banter. a private conversation that took place many years ago. bill clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course, not even close. i apologize if anybody was offended. hillary clinton's campaign tweeted this. this is horrific. we cannot allow this man to become president. pro-choice america reacted in this way, quote, donald trump apparently thinks he has the right to sexually assault women because he's famous. never mind consent. he didn't find support among fellow republicans either. reince priebus condemned the

common sense saying no woman should be described in these terms or talked about in this manner. and house speaker paul ryan said i am sickened. women are to be championed and revered, not objectified. trump was to attend a rally in wisconsin tomorrow. but ryan says trump will no longer be attending. he has disinvited. meanwhile, other political news, wikeleaks released emails from john podesta. some seem to have exerts of speeches that clinton has refused to release. one quote has her admitting that you need both a public and private face in politics. but if everybody is watching, she said, you know all of the back room discussions and deals, you know? then people get a little nervous to say the least.

so you need both a public and a private position. the obama administration is now for the first time directly blaming russia for hacks on the dnc. and other efforts to interfere with the presidential election. the report from homeland security and the director of national intelligence accuses russia's senior-most officials with authorizing the cyber intrusions. moscow dismissed the allegations without denying them saying the u.s. has attacked his website, vladimir putin's websites in the past. so make sure to tune into the second presidential debate this sunday at 9:00. it is a town hall. co-moderated by abc's martha raddatz. and you will be able to order an uber x while the legality is up in the air. a commonwealth judge made an

injunction on their behalf. preventing a cease and desist order from taking effect. the philadelphia parking authority was planning a crackdown on illegal uber x and lyft drivers. it will likely only be resolved by the state legislature when it returns. within a few short weeks new jersey will go from the 09th highest gas tax to the sixth highest because the legislature approved a 23 cent hike in the levy. dann cuellar is live tonight. dan, it is a new day for new jersey motorists. >> reporter: that's right, jim. people are not the least bit happy about their gas prices going up. but not only the people of new jersey, people from philadelphia coming here to get cheaper gas. >>wish we could say it ain't so, but gas is about to go up in new jersey. >> here, especially in camden there's a lot of families struggling to make ends meet. i mean, and with the gas prices going up, i mean, it's going to

put a damper in their funds. >> when things go up, it hurts. because i work in every day and trying to make ends meet. the thing is, like, it's going to cost more. and we don't have the extra money to put out sometimes. >> reporter: the 23 cents a gallon hike would radically take new jersey's from the second lowes to the sixth highest. it was the cheaper gas that caused people to drive here in philadelphia. how is this going to impact your life? >> it's going to be harder to get gas. i can't get the gas here at the cheaper rate. >> reporter: and uber driver from northeast philadelphia. >> going to impact a lot. we come from philly to get gas over here every day. it's going to have to pay more for gas and tolls. i'm going to get gas in philly. >> reporter: the tax on diesel is going up, raising eyebrows on truck drivers. the tow truck driver doesn't

want to pass the cost along. for the time being, eating the cost at your company? >> of course, as long as we can. >> reporter: and expecting the hike will have a domino effect on the price of other things. >> can't get stuff to the grocery store without gas, can you? everything goes up. gas goes up -- that's one of the main things that drives inflation. >> reporter: so right now the price of regular at this wawa is there 1.95. it will go up to 2.18 a gallon. into effect on november 1st or 15 days after chris christie signs the law. >> thank you, dan, still to come on action news tonight, more from my one-on-one with vice president joe biden. more than just politics tonight. and practice, we're talking practice. jamie apody explains why it matters and why the eagles were doing it indoors today. >> today was the day you want to

be outside. our high, 78 degrees. tracking much cooler air on the way as well as rain. and more details and the effects of hurricane matthew to the south with the accuweather forecast. >> high school huddle and more when action news continues tonight.

vice president joe biden stumped for hillary clinton today at bucks county community

college. and afterwards i talked with the vice president about clinton and how she is perceived by her critic. what is it about hillary clinton that incites so many people to feel antipathy, to feel this lack of trust? what is it about her? >> she's been in the bulls eye for 35 years. new mexico -- and i think what's happened is that when you're -- when you're the subject of constant attacks, instead of opening up more, the tendency is to close up more. and, for example, when i was -- i was reminded of this. i was asked -- it may have been by you, something about my son, bo. i started talking about bo and found myself fill up, not having control of my emotions. and people said, well, you know, i understand, joe, this is love for a son. when hillary is asked in new

hampshire running against barack and she was asked a question and she teared up, people said she was playing the woman card. it's a little bit like why barack can't raise his voice when he's talking about race, there's a double standard, at least in part, for how a woman candidate for president is treated than a man. >> i couldn't let biden go without bringing up his eagles/bears rivalry with chicago native son, barack obama. how much money did you take from the president on the eagles bears game? i got to know? >> we don't bet money, but it was enjoyable, man. it was enjoyable. >> mr. wentz looks like the real deal. >> he does. >> joe biden, a devoted eagles fan. national unemployment rate inched up to 5% last month as more than 400,000 people started looking for work. but the labor department says employers only added 156,000 jobs last month, meaning not
