that is what happened with katrina. people who could not and would not even a qa. -- evacuate. then we had the breach of the levees. what you see in florence is entirely different. is, peoplee learned understand the need to evacuate. understand we have people who did not who are waiting to be rescued. we should not be surprised. but we see state local the storm ahead of trying to describe to people what they can and should do to avert disaster. you see pre-disaster close to the so that once the danger they can immediately start recovery efforts. >> there was a report that five years ago state of north carolina cut back on their building codes and made it easier to build things at a lower scale. mistake in not requiring stricter building codes? particularly as climate change is causing more extreme weather? should we be eating up the building codes? >> irrespective of climate change, they should follow the florida model. any area that will face a flooding or hurricanes should follow that model. walking up to2004 a gigant

katrina was the prior disaster people remember. host: what are these going to cost the most when all is said and done? guest: it takes so long to understand all of the damage and what it is going to cost. according to fema, hurricane harvey in texas is going to be the most expensive. $130 billion in infrastructure repairs. host: costs are more than dollar figures, the death toll in particular from hurricane maria, did you look into the death toll caused by that hurricane? that has been in dispute and of interest. guest: we have ongoing work where we are assessing that issue as well. the government of puerto rico has commissioned its own study. the results came out couple of weeks ago. the deathto that, count was almost 3000 people. host: what went wrong? what could have done better in your view? guest: a number of things together seamlessly caused the challenge of hurricane maria. fema and the territory of puerto rico understood the challenges they were going to have before maria. they had done studies that showed long-term power o

in the 30 years since you were involved in hurricane katrina, what has changed?s it the forecasting, is it the preparedness, how have things improved in our management of these big storms? well, a lot has changed. we've reorganised, gave them all money, gave them more people, so they could be better prepared to respond to the request of governors. most of the state headquarters got outfitted between katrina 9/11 with state—of—the—art systems, and we've reorganised the department of defence's response, which is the back—up twigg governors and the national guard, so they are prepared to go in and assist the governors with their national guard, and each state now has a designation of a dual hat commander, that can receive active—duty troops to work with the national guard to help save lives. so that was a significant shift from katrina, and femur double fema has built some significant warehouses to address the condition, as well as posturing themselves with the defence coordinating officers that go in before the storm, and they come from the department of defence. t

of course, we all know about katrina. you know it best, anderson, storm surge, 20 to 28 feet, more than 1,800 deaths, more than $128 billion worth of damage. and you mentioned hurricane hugo, back in the late '80s, deaths, 50, $9 billion in damage. and as we have noted, that's back when a whole lot fewer people were living in the bull's-eye, as they are now. >> yeah. tom, appreciate it. tom foreman. much more ahead on how people are getting ready for hurricane florence or just getting out of its way. also ahead, as this new monster hurricane heads towards millions of americans, the president says the response to hurricane maria in puerto rico was an incredible unsung success. we now know more than 3,000 people died as a result of the storm, a death toll that the government refused to acknowledge for months and one that they made it difficult for researchers to firmly establish. we're keeping 'em honest, next. ♪ take us downtown, waze. waze integration- seamlessly connecting the world inside... with the world outside... ma

i think it was worse than katrina. >> it was not a 10. it wasn't the federal government. the problems in the response were not all federal. everybody failed in puerto rico. some would argue they are still failing. the president at times because of his own desire to say we are great, i'm great, a 10. that sounded tone deaf on the things. is that a challenge? >> just last week the president was defending his administration's response and thinks they did a great job. initially when the hurricanes hit texas and the president was down there, there was a lot of praise how they handled it and the rare glimmer of competence that came from skpreek the president's reaction seemed tone deaf. he compares it to katrina and they said dozens of people died, but it's in the thousands. that has been a response to them. a few people that helped last year in the administration. including tom bossert and the fema administrator, he is still here and briefed the president yesterday. it will be interesting to see how they handle this one. >> it's interesting for those of us who covered the afte

by comparison of that, 1800 died during katrina. are reminiscent of george w. bush praising the fema director as thousands remained stranded in glaad waters. >> right now the immediate concern is to save lives and get medicine to people and stabilize the situation. again i want to thank you all for -- and you're doing a heck of a job. the fema director is working 24 -- [ applause ] >> they're working 24 hours a day. >> remember, brown would resign a short time later. well katrina and maria were very different storms. the story of human suffering are similar. hurricane maria struck puerto rico as a category four storm last september. 155 mile-per-hour winds causing that widespread destruction and left the entire island without power and it took a year for the grid to be completed and restored. the process marred by missteps impacting almost all of the island's 3.4 million people. hurricane katrina was a category three storm when it hit the gulf coast 13 years ago and not just a natural disaster but a man-made one as levies flooded 80

he had his katrina moment. it was called maria. and the picture everybody will remember is those paper towels going out and throwing them. and oh, by the way, giving himself an a. he needs to move on and let's see if everybody can live and learn and let's see if he can focus on florence, stay off the damn golf course and cheer these troops on, who are on ships out at sea, flying helicopters and airplanes trying to get ready to come while their families stay ashore and have to evacuate separately. we have a lot of young soldiers, sailors, air men and marines getting ready to respond along with the national guard. those are the people he ought to be cheering on. i hope to see him in north carolina and south carolina and not on a golf course this weekend. >> general, before i let you go, one thing that has been striking when you listen to the response from federal officials, including, for example, brock long at fema, is talking about the lessons learned and particularly the lessons learned from katrina. do you believe that the federa

bush administration right after hurricane katrina and also, you were at miami-dade fire chief duringricane andrew, a lot of experience dealing with this. wonderful to see you today, wish it were under different circumstances but great to be able to lean on your perspective. things learned and things that are different, what do you say? >> one thing i do say, particularly from katrina is the governor is, all four governors are making great decisions, they stepped up early, took the posture that we are going to get on top of this, called for an evacuation which is difficult to do, they called early, people are listening, the state of emergency managers are some of the best in the country, people are evacuating, fema is moving in early, they are already moving and tractor-trailers full of people, urban search and rescue teams moving in, two teams from our county have moved into be ready, they've activated the national guard. they are ready for the storm. however, this is a significant t storm, it's going to cause a lot of damage. a lot of older homes, it's going to be devastating. >> ha

coming up, katrina pearson is here. she says it was president obama who was the worst in going after reporters. and we've got the name of the "weuwashington post" editor that agrees with katrina. >>> thousands ofrunners set to kick off a race for the cure this weekend. our own gerrie willis is a survivor. she's asking for your help. that's next. g nasal congestion, which most pills don't. it helps block six key inflammatory substances. elizabeth: well thousands of runners are set to kick off the susan g. coman race for a breast cancer cure this weekend in new york. the race will take place on sunday. now for one fox business anchor, the cause is personal. our own gerri willis was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer in 2016. but her courage and integrity is focus for all to see. gerrie battled back. she's leading the fight against breast cancer, a hero to a lot of women who have this hideous disease. gerrie will be raising awareness at this race this weekend. >> you're making me cry with the intro. do you realize th

that is what they wanted back in katrina, that is what they want from the president now. jane: to be clear, what is the dstake here, politicizing this or questioning tth toll in puerto rico? ron: it is the politicization of it. he can talk about the numbers later. why on earth would you talk about democrats out to get him when one is out to get the united states is a natural hurricane? that is what is headed our way, and it shouldn't beolics heading his way or democrats he doesn't agree with. jane: very briefly, fema has launched a rumor control r ge rricane florence. what do you make of that? ron: not much at all. this is the federal agency that is supposed to manage disaster. thatat the acronym stands for. this is not the fake news division of emergency response. they should be talking about where people can go for shelterc where peop go to get food, coordinate with the red cross. the notion that our agency is talking about ending fake news and rumors i think is tisgraceful. jane: ron christienks for joining me. ron: as always. a look at some the day's other news. turke

and no one wants to start bragging that new orleans' katrina response was the measure.hink president trump is always going to give himself a pluses and i think the risk that comes with talking about his maria response that was so heavily criticized, now we know thousands died there -- >> instead of 64. >> instead of 64. john? >> here's my question, first of all. how many of you thought when he got asked that question he was going to say b minus. everybody knew he was going to say a plus. >> was that a surprise? >> it's a dumb question, he shouldn't have answered it. number two, look, this president has a frustration. when you ask people in the last election what are the two big issues? it was the economy and fighting terrorism? and frankly he probably deserves an a, a plus on those categories and he thinks nobody gives credit. where he takes the bait on this, he feels he has to be his own promotor because nobody else is there. but it's not what a president should be doing. and in the long term it hurts him. >> you have to be able to pat your head and rub your tummy. the

we saw that in hurricane katrina.eople went to shelters in the football stadium, the convention center. there was no supervision. there were rapes. there was pistol use. thinkg back on katrina, i former president bush would tell you we should have gotten there sooner. how do they get there sooner? the national guard and using the national guard to maintain order so people are not taken advantage of. it is not just a matter of money, it is a matter of physical crime that may need to be stopped. host: a lot has been made of the response to hurricane marriott. compare thosekatrina and hurricd federal responses. guest: well, what we're seeing now is hurricane maria is of a similar nature to the hurricane katrina response. i think when maria has fallen down, in katrina, everyone who looks back at it says the federal national guard should have been there with a very big presence. they came into late. maria was a need to -- was not a need to restore order, maria was a problem of -- what do you do when the hurricane has left?

my mom lost her house in katrina. my grandmother lost her house in katrina. th we're just getting reports now that there's a senior home center over off galveston. we're working to link up with the fire chief, send a recon team over there, see what's tetively happening with the water. >> oh, yeah, it's flooding >>etty good. >> i have never seen roads like this. this is way beyond what i expected. ze glor: a dozen cajun navy volunteers are on their way to the highland acres nursing home, which was cut off by floodwaters. >> the problem is water is kicking up. it's kicking up too quick. >> glor: 40 patients were caapped. >> how many can you put on that truck? osx? >> glor: most of them bedridden. >> got you, got you. get out of the way, get out of the way. 'r don't be afraid. they're not going to drop you. okay? >> all right. >> just be prepared to get a little wet, all right? >> okay. >> all right. >> they said nursing home people need to be transferred out. i said, okay, let's get 'em out. >> yeah, we're risking our lives, but this is worth it. this community

the. >> dickerson: the interruption of medical care was responsible for 47% of fatalities in katrina is big part that have number that's been disputed about puerto rico the 3,000 number. the president said that 3,000 number didn't exist that they didn't die. how is it true that you're preparing for interruption of medical care in florence but the president says people who died as result of interruption in medical care in puerto rico are not worth counting? >> well, look, these studies are all over the place. the harvard study was done differently, studies different period of time versus the george washington study. big discrepancy whether it's direct deaths or indirect deat deaths. if you look at the root cause of any problem is, around here, one death, these guys know one death is a death too many. we work y thattry torevent that but if you want to get into puertoto eds to next, got to fix aging infrastructure that wasn't ready to support the commonwealth before the storm hit and when they were borne out exponentially causes problems. >> dickerson: robe it's so important if you figu

well, guess what, puerto rico has become our modern day katrina. undoubtedly, this administration's mismanagement of puerto rico is significant and it's a significant failure to date. fema provided roughly a third of the meals, half as much water, and just a small fraction of tarps to puerto rico that it provided to texas after hurricane harvey in the first nine days after the storm. several weeks elapsed before fema and the defense department increased their presence on the island, and even though airports and ports had reopened they did not s, bring the necessary help to that island. the agencies failed to direct the aircraft carrier, u.s.s. abraham lincoln, and other ships to go to puerto rico and provide first aid to the people that were hurting. we have now entered the 2018 hurricane season. as you know, we are bracing for florence, isaac, helena to make lawful. this administration needs to do better to respond to these emergencies. it's heartbreaking and a serious tragedy for american citizens of puerto rico, their families and our nation as

that's particularly true after the lessons learned from katrina. we watched the bush administration deal with weddings in europe and you know ignoring the warnings from meteorologists as we just heard leading up to that storm, that five-day run-up. so presidents know now pretty much how to deal with this. but i thinkion anythibeyond i t beyond anything else, everything is about donald trump. even a devastating hurricane is about donald trump. so his pushback is not so much because of anything other than he thinks the way he handled, executed orders out to people is somehow come under assault. the proof is in the pudding. look at where puerto rico is today. >> right. >> tell me whether or not that was a success. when you still have homes that are tarped up and still inability to get supplies there. so that's where we are. >> make it up with the governor of puerto rico, who has not been an an tag nis to the president the way the mayor of san juan. bluntly stated this, this was the worst natural disaster in our modern history. our basic infrastructure

we learned that lesson going all the way back to katrina.f you cannot communicate, you cannot coordinate. a lot of that was happening on the ground in puerto rico. the other thing is we had a lot of tools in the box we did not use. i heard people say the port was closed. in the military, we have units called port opening units. that is why we have them. airfields are closed. we have units in the united states military, airfield opening units, that is what they do. not used. in the case of when we look at i flew there on at, delta jet and i beat the ninee-duty army general days after the storm. our response was slow and when people tell you it was an island, and it was hard to get to, everything in the u.s. is designed to be expeditionary. all the wars we have prepared for, to fight overseas everything we have is mobile. it has to be put to fit in the ship or in the back of a cargo plane. we did not use those assets. report, as we speak 7000 now, we have over active military ready to back up the governors and the national guard in north carol

. >> i don't want to see another hurricane like katrina at all. >> reporter: evacuations are already under way living outside areas protected by the levee system. the national hurricane center is warning of a life-threatening storm surge up to five feet in some areas. >> you don't take any of these lightly even though it may not be a hurricane. >> reporter: tropical storm and hurricane warnings stretch hundreds of miles as forecasters say the storm could dump up to eight inches of rain. many along the gulf coast say they're not taking any chances. >> i went to sam's and bought a bunch of water and stuff for my family and other than that, just kind of letting all my employees know to kind of prepare because you don't know what's going to happen. >> reporter: the storm already drenched parts of south florida. this time lapse shows the bands of rain moving through boca raton. farther south miami's famed beaches normally packed with tourists on labor day deserted. shut down on a holiday. meanwhile in the heartland, major flooding from a separate weather system. several days of rain inund

. >> shepard: since hurricane katrina and the horror show that it was witnessing so many people who very sadly died in their attics because of the water rising so far they didn't have a way out, the first thing you tell people is if you have to end up in your attic, you got to cut a hole in it to have a way to get out of there. he don't know people who are trapped with water up in their attics, is not that high, right? >> i don't think we have any more of those. i think we've been able to reach that particular case. and there are other ones where people have gotten on the roof. we went out yesterday. we been working this thing for 48 hours. we have plenty of window of tim time. which of the fire truck out, we took the national guard truck behind it. we took two buses. some of them got out and physically knocked on doors and we've done everything from twitter to facebook to media, everything to get the message out that this was a category four, but the storm surge has really been the damaging part. we have about 300 commercial buildings that have been damaged. about 4200 homes that have b

it would be more costly than katrina.d be more costly than hurricane harvey. $180 billion is a lot of money. so much so that the economist who was just on set with me earlier said this actually would affect the entire u.s. economy. it would have a significant effect in that he is predicting a handle on gdp. he expects the economy to grow by more than 4% as do many economists but he is saying because of this storm, because of hurricane florence and he doesn't even think that it's going to be as bad as $180 billion in damages but because of this storm we may not get that 4% gdp growth. i do want to report we have learned of two casualties, a young mother and her infant have died in wilmington north korea the first two casualties in this storm. a tree fell on their property on their home. again the winds, while this is not a cat 4, or a cat 3, it's a cat 1 and the winds are still very significant and in some places upwards of 100 miles an hour so that can do a lot of damage and if you have any trees that are not as strong, t

i remember covering katrina and the aftermath of katrina. i was there for about six weeks.f course the traffic lights still weren't working. nobody was there. >> true. trish: i went back a year later to cover where they were and they were still so challenged and there are parts of new orleans will never return as a result of hurricane katrina. >> well the army corps right now will do the best they can to manage the water flow, to control waters and keep waters upstream but still the devastation of the enormous surges and 10, 20, 30, for thety feet of water coming in. that is enormous. trish: i'm saying a prayer for all of. >> you thank you, god bless you. trish: in some way this will just be a real mess. thank you so much, congressman. we'll keep checking in, okay? >> appreciate it very much. trish: okay. president trump, everyone, he is weighing meanwhile on trade negotiations with china. he is making it very clear, you know what? we hold all the cards, not china and that the chinese, well they need us more than we need them. i said that over and over again. we are their b

lessons from katrina what do you think?> neil i think you're much wiser than your staff gives you credit for. neil: [laughter] >> something you said in that last break about people coming together. here is my theory about this. i think the country, if you think back 13 years ago to katrina and we think that was polarized and now in this history we look at where we are today and everybody is at everybody's throats at least in the political world. i believe this sincerely that american citizens are looking for ways to rise above that. they're looking for ways to help each other and looking for ways to do not what the politicians are doing but what americans have traditionally donald that is help each other and i think that we're seeing that so the worst washington gets i think the better flyover country gets. neil: yeah and i think politicians in those regions realize that or maybe just put their party labels aside and decide to honor the more important one that is being a human being and whether you're a democratic governor

a lot like katrina had a bubble. katrina didn't hit the landfall at 4. and it really, what it was, it was a bubble of water that it built when it was a 5 that it pushed into bay st. louis and gulfport and to dauphin island with that wall of water. some of the waves, 26 feet tall in katrina. this could be 20. you could see what happened in that storm. this is the potential if you're on the right side of where the eye makes landfall. the left side is going to be less. it won't be zero, but it will be less. somewhere between 2 and 4. here, they're going 6 to 12 in the north of wilmington into morehead city, easily. up some of these rivers, we could see 18 feet. and if you are less than 18 feet above sea level and your house is, you need to leave. that's why this storm surge watch is going to turn into a warning later on today. here comes the storm on the european model. making a run kind of at wilmington. we'll see. i stopped it there to give you an idea of the american model, the gfs, is thinking, farther to the north, closer to cape hatteras. we'll see if

>> know because katrina moved quite quickly also. it may be more like harvey as far as the extent of rain for the causes of that are different but harvey stalled and hung around on the texas coastal bend. this is a storm, folks, that because of the slow movement and very unusual movement southwest word, sort of we haven't seen a storm like this in this particular area. look at the hurricane tracks, you see tracks of storms moving like this over the atlantic and stalling 300 miles away but no one cares about those. this is a shift westward of what nature can do except it is long the coast line. there will be unprecedented events when you combine the wind and rain in southeast north carolina, northeast south carolina and the storm comes back to the mountains and all the flooding that will occur. very slow movement. the reason it is slow as it is trapped under a high-pressure system. that happens every once in a while. diana in 1984, that went offshore and came in over one area but was not as big and powerful storm. >> we appreciate it,

moment and that's a reference to president bush's response to hurricane katrina back in 2005 which really came back to haunt his presidency, the daily beast rise of a particular moment when bush flew over new orleans looking down at the devastation and was really looking very indifferent to all of the devastation you can see. thedaily beast says revision of the death toll in puerto rico was really an effort for him to save his own image that's a really backfired. next and a keye admission from the president emmanuel macron for the first some of france's crimes during algeria's struggle for independence. a lot of the attention centering on this figure. >> some of our viewers might a little bit about him now, it was a pro-algerian independence activists and assistant professor was arrested and tortured by french authorities in 1957 that did lead to his death and you can see a photo of him here. france's commonest favor in that the french governor was responsible to his death has it was a communist and they were big supporters of the independence movement. d with thispraise that basically me

i also went to mississippi to cover hurricane katrina.into the gulf coast, but the true measure of the devastation, it really came after. the days after katrina, after that storm hit, they were a blur. in some ways it was like reporting from a war zone. and then three years later i went back to louisiana to cover hurricane gustav where i went out with the national guard to see the damage for myself. watch this. >> this is another example. it's probably good that the homeowner here wasn't at home. >> yes, sir, absolutely. if it would have fell on top of the roof, they could have absolutely had more damage to the house. it looks like it only touched the fence. >> and then there was 2011 in philadelphia. i went there to cover hurricane irene which made landfall as a category 1 storm, but that storm lingered over the northeast for longer than a hurricane usually does, causing catastrophic inland flooding. >> stay inside. >> absolutely. >> stay home and stay safe, anderson. that's the message that everyone has been carrying throughout the east

when things started to go south in the hours after hurricane katrina, the task force katrina was formed people get rescued and get the food and supplies they need. general, you and i were talking yesterday. one of the biggest concerns we have is people who are not able to move. they don't have the money. they're unwell. they don't have somewhere to go. it's not just a choice for them. they don't necessarily have that choice to move, and when this storm passes, that's who we are going to have to give our priority to rescuing. >> absolutely. you can put a circle around where most of the vulnerable population is where the people who are economically challenged live and the elderly, and that's -- where you do most of your rescuing from, ali. i've just watched pictures of the great national guard there along with what looked like maybe some other first responders, maybe fire or police doing a great rescue of that lady in the back of the truck. that's what our national guard do for us when they're needed, and they're doing a great job with those high clearance vehicles. there will come a poin

after 9/11, new york city got the money to -- i mean after katrina and i was in the white house. i was part of the failed response to new orleans. that is supposed to be money that is not politically tainted. there is no more tainted money than the money that went to the detention centers used for child separations. >> absolutely. absolutely. and one thing we should have learned from katrina and should have learned from puerto rico is that you really do have to pay attention to fema because stuff is going to happen that you haven't anticipated. that you don't know you're going to have to respond. even when you see a hurricane coming, it's going to affect people in ways that you can't really anticipate. >> and you can't trust this congress to look at a storm disaster as being beyond politics. just ask chris christie. just ask the citizens of new orleans. >>> when we come back, a story sure to drive the president bananas. the man who literally never speaks in public is out polling the man who never stops speak, tweeting and shouting from the podium. what the face-off that neither m

since hurricane katrina the federal government has wasted money on disaster response.rian brenberg from the king's college is with us. delays reliance on the federal government and big brother is going to bail you out in those critical moments. >> fema was never meant to be wait has become. it was meant to be a last resort back stop when local and state officials said we can't get it done. they are now the first responder. they are there before the storm strikes. they have a history of wasted money and failing to meet expectations. every time they show up it creates the expectation they are going throb if we need them. they -- they are going to be there if we need them. they are the insurance policy. you just talked to somebody on the phone with expectations about what's going to happen. i think our expectations are a little bit off of reality. they don't know how to respond if somebody doesn't show up for them. kennedy: there is a difference between self-reliance and dependency on the government. there are people incredibly capable, they have the right tools and they

. >>> katrina exposed serious problems in our response capability at all levels of government.to the extent the federal government didn't fully do its job right, i take responsibility. >> that was former president george w. bush back in 2005 taking responsibility after his administration was criticized for failures in dealing with hurricane katrina. president trump is approaching it differently though. without any evidence the president took to twitter this morning to in and out only dispute puerto rico's official death count following last year's hurricane but he also accused democrats of inflating numbers writing 3,000 people did in the die in two hurricanes that hit puerto rico. when i left the island, they had anywhere from 6 to 18 deaths. as time went by, it did not go up by much and a long time later they started to report large numbers like 3,000. this was done by the democrats in order to make me look as bad as possible when i was successfully raising billions of dollars to help rebuild puerto rico. if a person died for any reason like old age, just add them on to the l

and it's hard to say that people who died in katrina in the superdome after katrina, that they didn'tne if they were waiting for medical help. if you died because you didn't haveower and your grandmother didn't have power to breathe, she died because of the hurricane. it's heart breaking when you hear the personal stories that you' heard from katrina and maria. >> unseemly,oÑ when we are debating body counts. don't be politicizing the number who died. t be doing that, don't be arguing and tweeting about it. it's unseemly for a president. just go try to help puerto rico a little bit more, just go try to help north carolina a little bit more. i have rarely seen the pesident try toabove it. >> but how could a person who's president not have that as natural reaction, if you were either born with empat, or you develop it through experience and you learn about other people's lives and you care about him. >> he has many reactions tt are not t normal presidential reaction. >> i think will be the tifinal word and a riddle we have yet t. so >>> tickets are now available for our second annualpr

katrina is probably one of the most emotional i teach. we analyze a lot of pictures primary sources. with stories, particularly with families. they are wiping away tears. they didn't know how much of an impact they had on migration. bringing out the emotion and connecting it. way whatre any percentage of the students came from migrating from katrina? >> roughly 12 to 15%. we had about 1700 kids. >> i have a pre-k-8 school of about 460 students. our population is so small. so it kind of follows. i think our biggest problems are -- seven degrees she is a lot of -- how do historians operate and create history? students take a problem that they identify. come up with possible solutions and develop an action plan. learning how to be a filter, how , and then wepeople going to topics of u.s. history. we talk about that. >> how to syndicate to jamestown? >> you have to cost a bridge -- to cross a bridge. our students go to north kingstown. >> what do most of the people that live there do? >> it's a broad range. two people who started out as , and

on the gulf side seeing the likes of hurricane katrina ravaged the state. let's get to the storm.his may be just the beginning. despite a mandatory evacuation order. the city of new bern has recorded more of 10 feet. officials tweeted over night at least 150 people were awaiting rescue and warned residents, you may need to move up to the second story or to your attic but we are coming to get you. nearly 5 million people could see 10 inches of rain over the next few days. some areas could see up to nearly 3.5 feet. >> bill, so a couple of days ago, we heard this is going to be a category three or four storm, it hits land and it is a category one and winds are down. of course, still a great chance of a lot of flooding. tell us what's going on. >> it is all about the water. the winds are doing their thing and it is causing damage right now. we just had a wind gust of 84 miles per hour. as bad as it is going to get right now with the winds. we got strong winds that's why we have 200,000 people plus without power. the water issues as we go throughout the day. here comes the land fall o

no one holds it, but secondly we had katrina, katrina this doesn't hit 40 miles east. a b fell. that was right. who was responsible for the levy? army corps of engineers, government enterprise. the four, 1900 people died. for me the whore is that they are still in business. imagine it to burger king killed 1900 people. they wouldn't be in business anymore, but they are still in business. if the someone owned the mississippi river and they did that they would pass it to more competent hands, so how can we have the hudson river or atlantic ocean owned? well, the same way we get land owned by the homesteading principle. he who mixes his labor with the land or water or whatever gets to be the owner. so, the people that put the ships up and down the mississippi river, the people who own land on the side of the mississippi river so now you have 100,000 people with a hundred thousand shares and that the mississippi river corporation. again, sounds a weird for the non- weirdos, but i think it could save lives and it would deal with running out of resources like fish resources and things

i saw you operate in careen the reason -- in katrina, we've seen you operate since. way grateful you're here, and i know the authorities are as well. thank you. the deluge hitting the carolinas is not going to end anytime soon. we're talking about days before any of the rivers even crest. cnn analyst allison chinchar is live with a glimpse of what's ahead. you pointed out in the last hour how much rain is to come and how much more water there may be yet in some areas. >> yes, and for some areas it may be a bit misleading, because we're starting to get breaks in the rain, especially in areas like hatteras, you've gone a couple of hours without rain. but i don't want people to think the storm is over. even in other areas, you get breaks in the showers and you this this is it. it's not. all it's doing is taking the heaviest bands and pushing them off to the west. that doesn't mean the rain is ending entirely. so do keep that in mind. don't go outside, don't try to go through the roads, thinking that this is over, base the wat -- because the water that's already on the g

he saw president bush during katrina not what he seemed his attention to the problem. not empathy but athat he's involved in trying to find a solution. that's what we'll see from trump, not empathy to the victims. >> i'm not sure for the president it will hurt him that much. voters elected him because he's a fighter. his base sees this and says he's punching back. that's what they like. the question is how it trickles down and what the impacts are are on the rest of the republican party. >> his base is fewer than four in ten americans. >> right. >> you can't govern with the support of less than -- fewer than four in ten americans. >> barack and i agreed to stay silent to get this administration a chance to get up and running this first year. god forgive me. ninety-sixe are over hundred roads named "park" in the u.s. it's america's most popular street name. but allstate agents know that's where the similarity stops. if you're on park street in reno, nevada, the high winds of the washoe zephyr could damage your siding. and that's very different than living on park ave in

almost the same size as katrina. damage katrina did, it came on shore as a category three, which is what florence is now as well. because it has been so strong for so long, earlier today there was a wave height measured of 8t quadrant, the front right quadrant of the storm. all of that wave action is moving towards the short and tomorrow it's going to slow down and it's forward progression. here's the ocean temperature. it's got to go still over the gulf stream, that's the warmest water is, plenty of fuel there to at least maintain the category three strength right now the forecast is it might come up just a little bit. there's not a problem you mentioning. that position there is tomorrow afternoon at 2:00. there's friday afternoon, there saturday afternoon. somewhere in here, this isn't going to move much more than probably 50-80 miles and because of that you are going to have maybe a 36 hour period where you've got hurricane force winds along the coast and storm surge that keeps on piling up. going to sunday and mo

katrina.ricane harvey in houston. a report came out noting the marginalized populations, the poorest, largely african-american communities still have not recovered from hurricane harvey. and i suspect we will see similar data when we look back at the aftermath of hurricane florence in south carolina and north carolina. >> what is the cause for the race gap in terms of who is impacted the most? and let me say, we don't want anyone impacted. we're not comparing pain. but what is the reason that people of color and poor people are most impacted? is it infrastructure in terms of how we decide who gets what as we rebuild the infrastructure or in many ways deal with certain choices that government may give priority to one area or another? what is the reason? >> yeah, no, it's actually a really simple answer. it comes down to the wealth gap. if you look at the distribution of income across races and various groups, those that have ample insurance policies, those that have the ability to be resilient

senior advisor to president trump's 2020 reelection campaign, katrina pierson. the new york times reporting as we have been discussing that rosenstein spoke to the fbi's mccabe and others about the idea of secretly recording president trump, consulting with cabinet members about invoking the 25th amendment, the deputy attorney general absolutely disputes the time story. what should happen to rosenstein? >> look, i have been an advocate for months now for firing rosenstein. we didn't need this new york times bombshell report outlining memos from 2017 to let us know that this guy probably didn't have the best intentions when he took the post. we can look at the doj inspector general's report, we can look at what the house intelligence committee has been reporting with his obstruction and their own investigation with the whole russia hoax. we already know that this guy is compromised in a sense not to mention the number of conflicts of interest that he's had going into the mueller probe. the problem is, it's not president trump's responsibility to fire him today. h
