3:10 am
local police department and all the rooftops of the buildings, they do a thorough search of the president's path. ultimately where he's going to be, we can't realistically look at that happening in hotels or malls, anyplace in our daily lives, even going to a stadium or an arena, is not going to work. >> thanks bob. i want to bring in our panel, you heard what bob had to say about whether or not this was preventable. hillary clinton took to twitter in the aftermath, literally hours and said grief is not enough it's time for people to stand up to the nra. as a democratic strategists, smart move on her part? little bit early? >> no, it's not. someone who's for the sensible gun control i think there's a

3:16 am
if you don't have cell service and internet service you can file for fema. and i keep reminding people to do it quickly and that's obviously a problem. the thing is we don't have a curfew it was extended to us from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. but there are no lights, so traveling at night is dangerous. the vast majority do not have power, as of yesterday i believe have to and have water, so which is luck, i'll try to check back later. >> i want to bring back our panel, joined by jeanette, it's good to see you and bill, strategist and attorney, you see what's happening on the ground, i don't know that it's news that
3:17 am
so devastating we've been talking about it for a week, what you make of the political wrangling. people are pointing the finger and blaming the administration. i see it as a category five hit in ten days. >> there's devastation there's also been some dysfunction in terms of getting helped where help is needed. the unfortunate part is the nonsense going back and forth on both sides. certain folks on the democratic side are using this as an opportunity to bash trump. but the president has to stop. >> sometimes i wish the president would restrain himself but that's who he is. he uses twitter to communicate to the american people. some of his tweets have become so highly politicized, the mayor of san juan attacking trunk.
3:18 am
his own person levelheaded is the governor puerto rico hussein there is more that needs to be done. >> one of the neighboring mayor said the presence doing what he can, what you say of this not only the politicization of it but how the mayor has conducted herself. >> it's wrong. two wrongs don't make a right. the president should not take the bait. there is legitimate criticism for what isn't being done because it's a massive disaster. but the president should be engaged in this. >> but the president was right to say all this talk the department of defense, but he didn't say that it's identity
3:19 am
politics that democrats are engaging in they're not getting help. the so disgusted and reprehensible. i think the democrats are to blame for this. >> but the president took the debate and demeaned an entire population of people doing so. i don't think he meant to think he was undisciplined. >> i feel like you now finally have transparency that has been promised for presidents over the past 20 years. we got it with trump. i want to thank the panel. it's good to see. here's dan with your weather. >> l let's take a look at the local weather forecast. we continue going through the first week of october. the biggest compliment i can give is to call the weather beautiful early october weather. sunshine, blue skies temperatures in the 70s. more beautiful days ahead. a couple of hiccups through the rest of the week. i don't have much to show you, dome of high pressure on top of us, it's dry air and one thing

3:27 am
shown herself to be better over the issue over the past couple months, she attacked the nra. she suggested the nra gets their way more people could be killed in situations like that. here's my thought. everybody dial it back, it's one thing to have your political position, it's another to have a debate over gun control. this isn't the time. there still people finding out their relatives were killed and that massacre. now's the time to mourn the dead and help the wounded get better. thoughts and prayers are with everyone in las vegas. let's hold the politics were couple of days. thanks for watching. we'll see tomorrow at chasing news.
