desantis: i want to thank kevin guthrie for being with us and and all the hard work. and also we have visiting us from washington, the administrator of fema, deanne criswell. so she's been with us since the morning. we've traveled, we started the day in tallahassee, getting an update on the most recent events that have happened in the after math of hurricane ian. we went down to southwest florida for the second day in a row. we were able to do a little bit more extensive touring of some of the damage that we saw. and you have places like fort myers beach, santa bell, some of those areas really where the front line got the massive storm surge and an extensive damage throughout there. you also have charlotte county had damaged north north part of naples and collier county. the one of the things that we're working on and is having staged all the power and everything is the restoration of services right now statewide, 85% of customers have power and the main outages are of course in lee and charlotte counties have the most as well as hardy. but then you also have about ha

savannah guthrie and the rest of the media literally don't care if fetterman can do the job or not. they don't care about that. they care that he's a democrat. that he's going to do what he's told. that's what they care about. poor miss burns has been taught a lesson. do not try to do the thing called practicing journalism around democrats. so it's up to you, pennsylvanians. do you want to give new york a third senate seat by letting chuck schumer have one of your votes? or would you rather send dr. oz, a self-made man that has the capacity to fight eloquently? argue eloquently for your interests? here now is fetterman's republican challenger, dr. mehmet oz. dr. oz, you heard fetterman in one of those clips saying he will be fine by january. i know you're not a neurologist, you haven't treated him, looked at his files. but has there been in your mind in what you have seen marked improvement in the intervening period after his stroke to the moment where he was sitting with that nbc reporter? >> well, first off, i do have some experience with what he's going through. he has heart fail

when we were going through the worst and new are eoc would be impacted, director guthrie did not hesitate to send us the resources we needed. because of them, we can then push through and make our recovery effort better for our community. thank you so much. >> thanks, nannie. [applause] >> thank you so much. i was able to visit schools in collier and lee yesterday and had an opportunity to meet with the superintendent in hardee and visit a couple schools. it's important for us to get them back as soon as possible, get our kids back into school, and i know there are certain tears to that. we have to deal with the shelter first. we have to make sure there's power and those buildings are able to be assessed. it's imperative to get kids back to school to return to normalcy so we can get back to teaching and learning and get them back in their regular routine. i'm proud of all or superintendents in the state as we have been in constant communication, and day-to-day after the storm, and i'm proud to say a lot of the districts that were affected and some that were not our already rallying to pro

. >> trace: and she was questioned by the way from savannah guthrie and called out by savannah guthries reporting there. your thoughts? >> yeah, i thought that was particularly interesting, but the reason it's the media highlight of the week because she's doing what the liberal media are refusing to do. she sat down with john fetterman for an in person interview and he's done a few interviews before with stephanie rolle and lawrence o'donnell did of msnbc but they have been taped and remote so you really are not sure about what's going on and how much is edited. other than the fact she didn't press him on abortion, she really pinned him down about his fitness physically and mentally to be a senator from the great state of pennsylvania and one of the closest races on the map. if she's tough on him as well i think we can chalk that up as a big media win. >> let's face it, she was being honest. both of the lows are the same story, it's tosha burns being trashed by her media colleagues. we will get both of your responses. >> we are talking about an interview and what it might mean to voter

but of course, that reporter faced pushback from left wing ta host savannah guthrie, the expert thatsht e was. >> take a look. nbc news agreed to letterman's request to use a transcription program during this interview because he's still experiencinpg auditory processing issues fromc the stroke, meaning he can'tessi alwaysng fro understand what he's hearing. >> walk me through why we need i the close-croppengd fenning, ngd how it works. it's reall hy just how thingssoi happen, becausmee i sometimes will hear things in a waye that's not perfectly clear . so i use captioning. so i'm able to see what you're. saying on the captioning. >> and savannah, we did findinte that in small talk before the interview without captioningcaptio, it seemed it difficult for fetterman to understand our conversatio n. and you had mentioned that last night on nightly sincela then, other journalists who have also dealt with fetterman came forward and saidthat d they had a different experience. t wa yeah. and savannah, that's completely fair that that was their experience. can only report we can only report

administrator chriswell's thanks for governor desantis and florida director of emergency management, kevin guthrie, for their leadership during this difficult time. before i provide informational update and an operational posture here at fema i'd like to kick it over to the national weather service for director ken graham's update. >> appreciate that introduction and that update. the latest information, ken graham. i appreciate the relationship with fema. the coast guard. the corps. national guard. it's just, in these disasters, we do come together as a family and we get these things done. unfortunately we come together too often in recent years. wanted to give you the latest information on hurricane ian. i got the latest just a minute ago. a brand new update. still 85 miles per hour. right on the coast. really getting pretty close to the coast of south carolina. it was moving north of 14, now at 15 miles per hour. it's continuing to get a little faster. so that will continue as we work our way inland. it's really important to realize it's not just that center point. it really is -- it's been a la

our thanks to our editor, nik guthrie, who's been with us since day one.s, goodbye. hello there. i'm aware the story will improve as the weekend progresses, but so far we've seen some rain, some of it heavy. this has been the progress of the wet weather this morning. we have seen around a quarter of an inch of rain in parts of north—west england, and that wet weather will continue to drift its way steadily northwards. it will be replaced by some blustery showers for saturday. a much quieter story for most of us on sunday. the morning rain confining itself to the northern isles by the end of the afternoon. sunny spells and blustery showers around an area of low pressure, driven by strong south—westerly winds. was he gusts in excess of 30 to a0 mph. the most frequent showers are exposed west facing coasts, perhaps the driest and brightest weather in eastern areas. highs of 17 degrees here, a little cooler further north and west. this bodes well for the opening match of the rugby league world cup. yes, it is in newcastle. hopefully those showers will stay awa

our thanks to our editor nick guthrie, our editor since day one.way northwards, a lot of that is gone for monday, leaving, for many areas, a largely dry day with sunny spells. here's the area of low pressure. it will pull away northwards. in its wake, it'll be blustery, it'll be bright, still with a few showers around, though, particularly in scotland. this is how we're starting the day — milder air moving northwards overnight and into the morning. the rain still in the far north of scotland that will then move across the northern isles. and in east anglia, in the south—east of england, rain clearing, then a hang back of cloud probably, gradually brightening up during the day. northern ireland, north west england, perhaps north wales will see a few showers but become mainly dry in the afternoon. showers will continue in scotland north of the central belt — some quite lengthy downpours around here. and it'll be windy again in all areas. the strongest winds will be in the central belt, southern scotland, northern ireland, northern england, north wale

nbc's savannah guthrie questioning the report on john feertert fetterman's auditory issues. >> it wasifficult for him to understand our conversation. other journalists who dealt with him came forward and said they had a different experience. >> according to the campaign itself our team was the first to be in the room with him for an interview rather than via remote videoconference. ibly1 this is an escalating situation. voters should know the state of health of their democrat senate candidate. >> we tried covid basement politics where we gave a president pass, president biden was in the basement. on air force one, taking off for 5 rallies in a row and he called a lewd at 9:00 am. voters will not assess the competency of president biden and fetterman is trying to have the same scenario. he can't cover it up this time but the journalists, imagine if this was dr. oz. with ap pushing back on their own reporters? of course not. stuart: we will watch you on the show i sometimes call ambushed but is outnumbered, 12:00 eastern. check the markets please. am i seeing it? the dow has turned posi

. >> i know kevin guthrie is working with different modeling. at the end of the day, a storm that will hit 150 miles north of you, is something -- i said there would be impacts across the grulf coast. if it goes to north florida, it's a big storm. you can see impacts in naples and those areas. that's a different impact than what we ended up seeing. they worked quickly to provide people shelter and the opportunity to do that. i would point out, you had people evacuating from tampa to southwest florida. that happened because of how they were following the track of the storm. >> two major concerns of people, running water and electricity. do you have information on whether the restoring of water will be expected? >> what you've done on the water. they identified the break the day after the storm. they requested the state enlist federal support. we got the army corps of engineers. they made the request at 3:00 in the morning on thursday. the army corps was here from jacksonville thursday afternoon. that's a six-hour drive under good conditions. they

kevin guthrie, the emergency management director, we are all focused on the same thing.g hard to build more of the disaster relief centers. they should be at a scope and scale as we get into the next week where it won't be very long lines they experienced in week one or two. like i say, the capacity is there. the money is there. and i will tell you fema prides themselves on core values of compassion, intelligent, respect in everything we do. and our strategic plan is instilling equity and responding to the effects of climate change, as well as readying the nation. we work with fema and the good people here. don't give up on us. continue to access the different ways. be available "outfront". debris is what the state is trying to manage as well. we understand that. there are a professionals for that. it is getting the right number in the right place. even today we are reallocating things. the state was. like i say, i don't want to get too long winded. i understand we see this not unlike the emergencies we have had the last five years. so hang in there. help is coming or is

of course, that reporter faced push back from savannah guthrie. >> nbc agreed to use a transcriptionuring this interview because he's experiencing auditory processing issues from the stroke. meaning he can't always understand what he's hearing. >> walk me through the closed captioning and how it works. >> it's how things happen. because i sometimes will hear things in a way that is not perfectly clear. i use captioning. i'm able to see what you're saying in captioning. >> savannah, we found that in small talk before the interview without captioning, it seemed it was difficult for fetterman to understand our conversation. >> you mentioned that last night on nightly. since then, other journalists that dealt with fetterman said they had a different experience. >> yeah, savannah, that is completely fair that that was their experience. we can only report our own. >> sean: maybe somebody could show the tape of fetterman saying kick the balls in authority and maybe calling joe biden joe bin. during an interview today with the penn live editorial board, board member jeffery lord, a friend of

. >> laura: how about that poor reporter from nbc asked fetterman and savannah guthry comes down on that reporter like she's just committed some hate crime. >> well, it was very weird to see a reporter report problems on the democrats so everyone was unnerved by it but it shows why corporate media are so unable to be trusted and no accountability for everything they get wrong whether it's the russia collusion hoax that's unraveling and no one's held accountable for all these things. >> that's the biggest problem. >> laura: being a member of the regime media means never having to say your sorry. >> exactly right. >> laura: good to see you both >> the left are so freaked out that they're losing hispanic voters they're now trying to use the racist tirade by some liberals on the ls city council and turn it against conservative latinos. this is a neat trick isn't it? the angle exposes it in moments. we desperately need more affordable housing, but san francisco takes longer than anywhere to issue new housing permits. proposition d is the only measure that speeds up construction of affordable

viciously and fetterman's wife called for the reporter to be punished and nbc colleagues like savannah guthrie were attacking her and that reporter is owed an apoll >> i d will likely never get one and fetterman's wife knew he was unfit and the rest of fetterman's family and media mob and joe biden and amy klobuchar so did everyone that attempted to interact or campaign with john fetterman, they all knew and they'll were all part of the big lie to keep this from the people of pennsylvania. now that the truth has been revealed, some democrats and others in the media they're finally stating the obvious, which we have known for a long time, which we are one of the few shows to have pointed it out. take a look. >> voters, i think saw things that will definitely change the state of this race. it's not his fault. but lieutenant governor fetterman struggled. >> he's struggling with the effects of the stroke that he suffered in may. and i said, it's very obvious that he is impaired, his ability to communicate is impaired. >> he had difficulty will every single one of his responses and i don't know if

when i was talking to guthrie, we were already starting the case manager process. host: that was the fema administrator. we are talking about the role the government should play in disaster response. we are hearing your thoughts and comments. connecticut, mike, good morning. caller: morning. this is perhaps an odd way to look at it and i think we heard a bit from the president yesterday talking about let's leave politics out of it. let's leave politics behind. this is a great opportunity to bring this country together to help americans. i think we saw a bit of that between governor desantis and president biden yesterday. perhaps even because he lives in the state, donald trump, the former president who lives in florida, perhaps we could involve him in bringing people together. if nothing more than getting him to throw paper towels for the people of sanibel island. i think it would be a wonderful opportunity to bring people together. host: sandy is next out of columbus, ohio. caller: i would like to say the government does allocate a lot of funding to these disaster

so as part of that effort, kevin guthrie, we're going to start having on each of these barrier islandssland, captiva, a command and control element on the island so all this stuff can be coordinated there. if they need something, we obviously can be there. so that will be something that's very, very significant. and it will help get the barrier islands going back in a better direction. so i'm proud we were able to do that. i was also in charlotte county. you know, we've got people from all over this country that have come in to help people all throughout florida, but particularly in southwest florida. one of the charity organizations is a group out of kansas city called operation barbecue. being out of kansas city is not a bad place to be from if you like barbecue. they are districting a bunch. people can come in a line individually. it's really making a big difference. i will say in charlotte county, you know, and in port charlotte where we're at, there's debris. there's been damage. so folks need all the help they can get. i'm really happy to see the private organizations. and the fi

guthrie true was one of shane's lawyers. >> if in fact, someone had actually told you they had engagedg of another person and you continued a romantic relationship with them, that seems a bit odd. >> when the defense cross-examined aimee, she knew it was coming. had to. an attack on her credibility. but could she have suspected how personal it would be? this from true's co-counsel when aimee said she went home with shane that night after he talked about killing someone. >> weren't you concerned about spending the night with somebody who had admitted to you that he had killed someone else? >> i blocked it from my mind. i didn't want to -- i didn't want to hear that. >> and then a kind of nervous embarrassment filled the courtroom. the defense had gotten access to aimee's very personal, very explicit diary and confronted her with her entries, one by x-rated one. >> we are trying to challenge the credibility of the prosecution's case, and sometimes that gets uncomfortable. >> this is what aimee wrote the day after she said shane confessed to her to murder. >> april the 30th, the very next

savannah guthrie comes down on that. the reporter looks likeime. she's just committed some hate crime. >> well, i mean, is vet was very weird to see a reporter report honestly about problems with aov democrat. yeah, right. so everyoneryonee was unnerved . but it just shows why corporate media are soso unable to be trusted and there's no accountability for everything fot wrong, whetherether it it's the russia collusion hoax. and we've seen this week that ta yet again is more unravelingeld and no one's been held accountable for all of these horrible. things. t prob >> that's the biggest problem. being a member oa mef the regim. media means never having to saye you're sorry. exactly right. great to see you both. all right. lef the left is so freaked out thatn they're losing hispanic votersth . they're now tryinge to use the racist tirade by some liberals in the l.a. city city council and then turn it against conservative latinos. t againsthis neat trick, isn't ? >> the angle exposes it in moments. do not move on to now. your hands. did you know that s

nick guthrie, our editor to this day, developed the format alongside its first presenter, charles wheelerhrough the first half of tonight — that's where temperatures will fall lowest. could be a touch of frost in the north, but later in the night, the winds pick up ahead of this rash of showers rattling in from the west to start your saturday morning. so, plenty of quite heavy downpours, some thunderstorms possible for parts of scotland, northern england, into wales first thing, as well. that area of showery rain edging eastwards, some showers for east anglia and the southeast. once they clear away, a drier spell of weather for many, but from the west, the winds pick up once again during the afternoon and there'll be more showers arriving across parts of northern ireland, northwest scotland and parts of england and wales, as well. we could see gusts of wind around about 30 to close to a0 mph towards exposed coasts and hills in the west, and temperatures will be somewhere between about ten in lerwick to around 17 down towards norwich and london. now, moving through saturday night into sund

q that he's with them, by refusing to say anything bad about them, by playing dumb when savannah guthrieoh, i hear they're good on pedophilia, it's oxygen on top of oxygen to the darkest and most dangerous elements. >> yeah, i do -- i think what donald trump and the people around him are trying to do, are trying to make it so you cannot trust anything you don't see with your own eyes. >> even that, though. they don't want you to believe the insurrection was an insurrection. >> that's exactly right. so for example, i did a story this week about how in arizona outside of ballot drop boxes there are people with fatigues, but that idea, what they call the mule parties or tailgate parties, was to intimidate people away from drop boxes. it was created on truth social back in july by a bunch of dominion vote truthers. it's the same people as the past doing new stuff. and the point to them is to intimidate people to not vote, to not be a part of the process, to not join even like your local school board or something like that. that's what we saw the proud boys at school boards recently. they wan
