director of strategy at ibm bum, paul walsh, a meteorologist and expert on the effect of weather and sumer behavior if business. paul, you say this hurricane could have a stronger impact than superstorm sandy. for those of us in new york and new jersey, we remember sandy. >> maybe not stronger but i would say equal or equivalent to. as we start to lock at this kind of storm hitting that level of population, that level of strength, and especially because it looks like it's going to linger for days and days and the bigst impact of course is going to be that flooding impact that everyone's talking about. it has the impact, the immediate impact but it has that sort of lingering impact where people will have to recover and try to sort of put their lives pack together again. it's a really significant event and as you said by the minute it seems to be getting more dire. >> fast forward a week, a month, what's the poststorm impact? >> in fact, oftentimes that's the biggest impact of these kind of event where is of course before a storm you have the what i call the forecast factor, everybody r

about florida's preparedness, rafael lemaytray is the former director of public afears for fema and paul walsh with me me in the newsroom, the director for weather strategy at ibm, a meteorologist and expert on how weather and climate affects consumer behavior and business. rafael, we heard about a lot of changes in florida, i'm talking zoning and structural changes after drhurricane andrew. do you think they're ready? >> we listen from every new disaster for sure and there are certain areas in south florida that have updated their building codes, but the truth is right now i think most important thing people need to keep in mind is they need to listen to state and local officials on what to do. governor scott has done a very good job so far providing very clear messaging for folks particularly in evacuation areas to get out. there will be a time to look back after this storm hits on what we should have maybe done better for building and for updating these building codes, but for right now it's really important people get the message they need to prepare now. >> given the lax zoning laws or la

. >> joining me now is paul gattis, kurt bardella and joan wal walsh. let me begin with you if i can. on friday and saturday roy moore indicated that he had information on his accusers that would, quote, cast doubt on "the washington post" story. any indication whatsoever of when that information will be released, what it might even be? >> well, as far as the timeline of when the information may be released, the sooner the better, because this story is obviously turning into a tsunami and it's threatening to take down roy moore's campaign. as far as what it might be, one of the accusers once performed sign language at an event where hillary clinton was speaking. i suspect there will probably be efforts to link one or more of the accusers to democrats because that's going to resonate with people in republican heavy alabama. but really roy moore has kept that close to the vest and we don't really know what he's going to be saying to try to clear himself. >> interesting connection there. let me ask you this, paul. i know some national republicans did pull t

. >>> a former senior advisor to rand paul and joan walsh, national affairs correspondent for the nationlso an msnbc political analyst. >> president clinton having a democratic senate is an increasing possibility. >> we don't know, lawrence. we have to see if the soft.ing will happen. the times might regret getting out in front of this prediction, they might have egg on their faces, judging from the trend lines in the polls there is a good chance she will have a democratic senate. the basics are always there, republicans defending more seats than democrats, 24-10. even without somebody like trump, i think democrats were excited about it. with trump, it's obvious he's bringing people way down. pat toomey is in trouble. it's interesting who is and isn't, rob portman in ohio seems to be hanging on and building a bigger lead. clinton has a small lead in ohio. ohio will be interesting. a variation. we see a lot of people like kelly ayotte being dragged down. we have to see if people wind up having to distance thepsz. >> what are you hearing from republican senators like rand paul you're close

paul, would you like to respond? >> i think all i know about joe walsh his solution to the immigration problem is to build a moat and alligators to eat mexicans. i'm not a great admirer of his practical solutions to -- >> paul, it would beat your open borders. >> i don't know if you know about it, a colleague of mine, joan cox was murdered by a white christian who stabbed and shot her and there's no protection against that. we have delicate situation. the great massive muslims in this country are law abiding, they know what the koran says to them. anyone who kills one person kills all humanity. and we've got this tiny group of extremists who i'm afraid your -- trump sees to be sucking up to saudi arabia. they're the most dangerous people in the world, they're sponsors. >> paul, tiny group? >> involved with them. but i think -- i mean we've got a situation in this country where we have to bring some calm. we have to bring competence to the muslim community to make sure there isn't an outbreak of antagonism against that community and i believe that what the mayor of london is doing, what the ambassador here is saying,

the arrival of a top republican, senator rand paul willing to say the country's number one hawk has no claws. david mill bank, joan walsh is an msnbc political analyst and editor at larnl for salon. rand paul's strategic bombing of dick cheney in 2009 just before paul announced his plans for the united states senate is worth another look today, as we assess the shortage of voices today defending cheney, or denouncing rand paul. let's watch. >> there's a great youtube of dick cheney in 1995 defending push number 1. he goes on for about five minutes. i think by the american enterprise institute. and he says it would be a disaster, it would be a civil war. there would be no exit strategy. dick cheney said it would be a bad idea and that's why the first bush didn't go into baghdad. then dick cheney works for halliburton, makes hundreds of thousands of dollars then he's back in government and then says it would be a good idea to go into iraq. >> published reaction from liz cheney, the daughter of dick cheney who said it's not surprising since senator paul often seems to get his foreign policy talking pointing from rachel mad

a lot about rand paul that rachel maddow uncovered. senator walshlanation it could have been his war experience, not to discount his war experience but lifting a masters thesis for the war college? >> the reality is that, look, if he was suffering from ptsd, and no one is disputing that, that is one thing. deciding to plagiarize at least a quarter of your masters thesis at the war college is another. i think some people would say, look, if it was -- you are struggling that much go to your professors and say i'm having a very difficult time. i nid a break and i'll come back. the problem is at the end of the day, no matter what the context was, he passed off work that wasn't his as his own. in another place, i don't think this is a campaign killer, andrea, but this, as you mentioned in the open, this was already a very hard seat to hold. he needed to run a close to perfect campaign and this, obviously is not in that blueprint. >> it does raise questions about the democrats' vetting process because this was an appointed seat. he got the seat because ma
