the borders of west palm beach and so we'll take our lead from the county itself. i don't know what the thinking it over there at the county but we'll certainly abide by whatever their instructions are. >> if an evacuation happens people have to be able to leave. and we have been reporting that gas stations are reporting themselves that there are fuel shortages. so how are you and other officials there addressing that so if people have to leave, that they can? >> well we've heard the complaints about fuel shortages as well and we're using whatever influence we might have to try to get fuel in. obviously the governor has a little bit bigger pulpit to stand upon, bully pulpit but i know he's aware of the situation. the port is only an hour away from where we sit here in west palm beach so we hope combined efforts of the governor and us as mayors can influence getting some fuel here immediately. >> and the governor did say he wants the florida highway patrol to escort fuel trucks to these areas where there are gas shortages. are your teams there in your city helping w

right now it is 625 easts-west of palm beach, florida. winds are gusting higher than that. want to focus on gusts protecting your home and property. it was faster yesterday, faster this morning and starting to slow down. tonight we're going to see the slowdown. almost putting the brakes on it and that's not good news. it will collect more fuel to be more powerful once it goes over land. we're looking at the track here, category 3 storm. it came fast. on monday it started out as a tropical storm and even thought it could fizzle out once it went over land. it never did that. it jogged to the north and kind of has a free way into the state of florida. right now category 3 storm by sunday, somewhere between saturday and sunday, we're expecting a category 4 storm. that's 130-mile-per-hour winds by saturday morning. look at it by monday morning. 140-mile-per-hour winds. and i want to you notice where it is. it will be over northwestern bahamas, right over land mass there. you want to heed the warnings if you're in this area, nassau, and we have a hurricane watch in place and that

what will that do to palm beach county?ll, as you can imagine a large majority of our population lives within the close coastal areas of the atlantic sea and we're contending with the king tide right now as well, so it's sort of a confluence of events that are very concerning. people tend to focus on the wind speeds as the major source of danger in a hurricane. and i can tell you having been born and raised in palm beach county, having spent my 10th birthday in hurricane andrew august 24th of 1992, it's less about the winds, it's more about the flooding and people need to be very cognisant of that danger. >> so, listen, you mentioned a little bit of it, but can you tell us specifically, what are you telling residents to do to prepare? how many days of water? refilling prescriptions and on and on and on. >> there is varied metrics for that. it obviously depends on the impact of the storm and the county. we want you to be overcautious. we want you to be well-prepared in the event that the storm hits here in palm beach county

that's why it won't start until sunday. >> we'll see what's happening in west palm beach.any residents there are at gas station. they're lined up to get fuel. that area could take a direct hit. earlier, the mayor of palm beach county spoke to cnn, about how they're preparing. >> we figured we would need about 17 to 20 hours to have all of our residents in the locations that are needed. so, we believe that sunday morning is a perfect time. so, that way, we can get everybody who needs to be evacuated. but what we're doing is we want to make sure the residents who lives in specific zones evacuate. but if you're not in one of those zones, what we want is for those residents to stay somewhere that is close. make sure they're in a safe place. but do not go far. because we don't want them to head on the highway. so that way, they they had north and get caught by the storm heading north. because this storm is heading all the way north and it could hit them all the way to jacksonville. that's the reason why we want our residents to stay in place. >> now our karen maginnis is here t

there is a possibility, according to the lines that he showed us, that west palm beach and the palm beach area could be hit. since there are a couple extra prep days, this could hit 2:00 a.m. wednesday morning as bill was saying, what are you taking advantage of that extra time to do to prepare the city? >> what we are continuing to do is preach from the pulpit of preparedness. by that i mean, we are continuing to get the message out to residents that they need to prepare for this as a significant weather event. they need to stock up on the essentials, water, food, medicine, gasoline. if we have a couple of extra days to do that stocking up, that's all the better. we are preparing for the worst and hoping for the best. >> i lived through a few hurricanes living in florida 14 years. i remember going through wilma. it's scary. how are the stores handling it? one thing is when we went out to try to stock up, stores empty out quickly. all the water is gone. bread is gone. basics are gone. are stores going to have time to put fresh food and water in before tuesday? >> we are very optimistic th

follow the story instead of the real issues like i try to do on this program gino go ahead and west palm beach. well it's very much like the russian hoax in fact that the only collusion that has actually come out of the russian hoax as you know is that there were democrats colluding all over the place with foreign governments and so this i think will turn out to be much the same honestly we've had president trump more than 10 years ago kicked epstein out of all of his properties based upon the report of one father to president trump privately one father came along and said i don't like the way he approached my daughter president trump said you're gone you're off all trump properties for ever and they've been completely alienated from one another ever since so to try to draw this close to trump is as ridiculous as that is to try not to draw it to former president clinton because we have pictures of president clinton more than $26.00 legs of flights in route and back from this island where all of this cilicia took place and so it doesn't surprise me that the democrats are trying once again not t

there were serious issues and he was accepting the responsibility for those in palm beach county but the issue was, should there be a federal offense as well. but we are going to see what all of these facts are. these are all new facts and thank you for saying it. you believe in the presumption of innocence and you believe in due process and so i'm very happy that the attorney general, who's a man of his word, is going to get to get to the bottom of how this happened. these regularities of great concern. they should be of great concern to all of us but especially in light of the fact that jeffrey epstein was in this very precarious situation and he deserved protection. he also deserved monitoring. so we shall see. there are a lot of questions. but i must say, i'm very distressed by the very fact that the day after, he was visiting with his defense lawyers, and he is found dead. that strikes me as very, very concerning. >> sean: bernie kerik, most people know you for your heroism on 9/11 and you and the mayor giuliani, risking their lives. you are right there, ground zero, at the time

elites i'm joined by my guest brian joyce in chattanooga he is host of the brian joyce show in west palm beach we have dr jean allowed in she is a psychology expert as well as a trump 2020 media advisory board member and in. athens we cross to alex cruciform he is the director and writer for the duran dot com all right jet gentlemen and lady jump in anytime you want that's the whole point of the program alex let me go to you i'm going to ask probably the broadest possible question you can about this whole saga what is this story about and why now alex. i don't think i can answer that question peter because we're still finding out so busy much but i will tell you that this story is about a mysterious man that we really don't know nothing about and that is jeffrey epstein i mean we're just now starting to learn who this guy was and one thing is very clear peter he is not a billionaire hedge fund manager i think that's becoming obvious now what we have and what we know is that we have this guy who was 20212223 years old he was a math and physics teacher at the dalton high school in new york from

county jail in palm beach county during which time he was able to to leave during the day for work relief you know of work release so. yeah go ahead and i would say it's interesting because it's like you know a lot of what i'm seeing now especially out of the media is this kind of like obsession with you know the suicide which obviously everyone's going to jump on and but you know like to mention that the start you know then there's this kind of like burying the prince andrew story you know down there to get a scroll way way out of the daily mail even ketchup you know are we do believe you know and but you've been journalist for a long time are journalists getting too caught up in the my new show of this and are we forgetting about the powerful people involved and not kind of following those trails and those leads getting caught up in the my new show of whether he was you know did he commit suicide or how did he do it and all of the. i think that's a great question and it's and it's a it's a very good point and i think the answer is yeah you know there is there's been so much of that and

. >>> some counties are likely to do that as the storm gets closer like palm beach county. that's where we find cnn's brian todd. >> reporter: officials in palm beach county tell cnn they expect to begin mandatory evacuations sunday morning but they can't force people out of their homes. mayor mac bernard says they won't ask all of the county's 1.5 million residents to get out, but those in some coastal areas and inland neighborhoods with mobile homes will be asked to leave. what is the biggest mistake that people make in the run-up to a hurricane? >> well, the biggest mistake is not preparing. and they don't have food and they don't have the right water. and so it's really to be prepared and also after the hurricane sometimes we lose lives because you know, people are running their generators and so they don't know how to operate it. >> reporter: the rest of the state is also preparing for evacuations. >> for certain people it's going to be necessary and in certain communities they're going to toad nao to do that. >> miami-dade and broward counties preparing states of emer

one of them is nadia marcinkova, who was one of jeffrey epstein's associates who was accused in palm beach court records of participating in sex acts with underaged girls herself, but police had indication she might have been a victim herself. her attorneys have said she is a victim and she needs time to heal. another person who is also under scrutiny is haley robinson, who was a high school student when she was recruited into jeffrey epstein's world and said in a deposition we obtained she would get $200 for each of her classmates who she would bring to jeffrey epstein's mansion. >> the scope of this when you think about it is shocking. i mean, really shocking. this operated for as long as it did. in the case of maxwell, there is a lot of people on the record that are people who have come forward. they've leveled on the record allegations against her. how prosecutable are these cases, given the statute of limitations and what the law says about her culpability? >> i think what our sources have said is that prosecutors are clearly looking at conspiracy charges and sex trafficking charges.
