gabe, i understand that you were listening to the president there. you were listening to the governor. you probably heard president trump rate the gov's response to the crisis in puerto rico as a 10. you're on the ground there. is that accurate? >> hi there, craig. well, depends really who you talk to. there are many people on this island who do feel that the federal response has -- in some ways. a lot of people you talk to in the area where there has been -- the most power that has been restored has been in this area. however, you still talk to people here and life is still very difficult. not just in remote parts but also in san juan. this morning we talked with someone who runs a bed and breakfast. this economy is just cripple theed the ed point. he bought solar powers several years ago. he's been taking in power and distributing it to his neighbors. it is a daily struggle to live in parts of puerto rico. now, the president said the federal response should be a 10. the governor mentioned there has been some questions about how some of the local re

gabe sherman is with us, special kcorrespondent for "vanity fair" he wrote that piece.nbc contributor. what are your sources telling you about the tension between the president and general kelly? >> yeah, i mean, this is a relationship that was set up to be fraught from the start, but in the wake of actually nbc's report on moron-gate, tillerson fiasco in recent days, this is something kelly has been trying to contain the crisis inside the white house. trump sees that as trying to rein him in. anyone who tries to -- destined to clash with trump. one of the details i found really surprising is that john kelly is worried about what happens when trump goes to mar-a-lago later this month. he's going to be returning to palm beach for the winter white house. as the fall season progresses. and kelly's whole thing is keeping trump away from unofficial policy advisers, but as we know, trump loves to hold court and mingle at mar-a-lago. kelly is trying to keep trump out of the dining room at mar-a-lago, trying to keep a guy out of his own dining room is going to be very difficult
