>> reporter: wolf, authorities are already warning residents here to get prepared. tomorrow they are bringing in two truckloads of sand so residents can make sandbags. when i have asked people what is your greatest concern, every single person has said a direct hit. >> we'll get it for you. >> reporter: tonight hurricane dorian is barreling toward florida, expected to be a category 4 storm, it's already causing hurricane-force issues for the sunshine state. >> it's a monday, but we had to make some sudden changes. >> why? >> because of the hurricane. >> reporter: as floridians prepare to hunker down or get out, the coming storm is forcing others to stay away from the labor day weekend, usually a season money maker for hotels and cruiseships. >> how much will you lose here? >> in excess of $120,000. >> reporter: debra green says she's had a steady stream of cancellations on what was to be a sold-out holiday weekend, but tonight florida officials say better safe than sorry. >> the time to act is now. if you haven't acted, act to make preparations. do not wait until it's too late. >> reporter: dorn are dorian has pummeled the british and u.s. virgin islands and lashed puerto rico with rain, but since it's moved out into open waters it's picking up steams, and could not pack winds as high as 115 miles an hour by the time it sounds -- prompting floridians to take action. >> just getting ready for the hurricane. >> just getting prepared for the storm comes. just want to protect what's coming potentially. >> reporter: tonight the rush to fill up the gas pump is under way. >> the praying has already begun. >> and in daytona beach they're already filling up with sand. lining up at hardware stores so they can board up at home. >> what you don't want is to have a situation where you can't keep your family and friends safe because you didn't take time to prepared. >> reporter: floridians are warned to have seven days of food, water and medicine. >> i have a 1-year-old at home, it's not the first hurricane i've been through. >> reporter: meantime, even nasa says it's not taking any chances either, moving the mobile launch platform back inside. >> obviously because it's so tall, it would be affected by the wind. >> reporter: a feat that will take at least eight hours uses a 6 million pound vehicle to slowly pull the platform 3 1/2 miles to safety. wolf, you are looking live right now in miami, where gas lines are forming -- have been forming for quite some time as people trying to get fuel for their cars as well as generators should dorian cause power outages. back here live inport canav in canaveral, this is the puts jest for crew ships, they expect a few tomorrow, but after that we could see a impact in the itineraries. >> thank you leyla. i want to turn to alison chinchar. i understand a new forecast has been released. >> yes, and probably the biggest change we're noticing a delay in the landfall timelining. most of the bank statistics have remained relatively the same. moving to the northwest at 13 miles per hour. it's trying to form an eye, but what's interesting is the southern portion of the storm has started to enhance. puerto rico is probably get more rain now that is when the any of the storm was on this particular area. very heavy rain bands pushing in to not only puerto rico, but across portions of the u.s. virgin islands as well, but we talked to the changes on the track. here is the current position. it's expected to intend fit, just about the next 24 hours, due in part because the water is incredibly warm. another part, there's not in its way to weaken it, but we expect it to still get up to a category 4, but the landfall time is later, maybe monday morning into early monday afternoon. it gives people more time to prepare, but you don't want people to become complacent. >> any better sense, yet, alison where it might hit land? >> so more of the modelles are trying to trend south, especially the european model, but again that's just one model. it could all go back for the next model run. the key thing to know, it's got to go north after that, so really the entire state will have in impact from the storm, whether it's direct landfall or the aftereffects as it continues to move on. alison chinchar, thank you very much. after treating puerto rico with scorn when the storm was bearing down on that u.s. territory, president trump is taking a different tone as far as florida is concerned. florida now very much as you heard, in harm's way. let's go to our chief white house correspondent jim acosta. what is the president saying now, jim? >> reporter: he just announced a few moments ago that he won't be going to poland for a trip, so he can stay in washington and keep tabs on hurricane dornian. mike pence will go in his place, and he insists the administration is ready for the storm, but no mistaking the difference in how the president is responding now and how he's been behaving in the last 48 hours when the same hurricane was targeting puerto rico. president trump is sounding all business about the storm preparation efforts, announcing in the rose garden he is postponing his trip to poland as hurricane dorian is expect to do crash into the state of florida over the labor day weekend. >> our highest priority is the safety and security of the people in the path of the hurricanes, and i will be rescheduling my trip to poland in the near future. >> reporter: the president is warnings floridians that dorian could be devastated, tweeting -- it will be a very big hurricane, perhaps one of the biggest. but contrast the president's no-nonsense warnings with his comments on puerto rico, when the hurricane was on its way to the island. the president tweeted -- puerto rico is one of the most corrupt places on earth. nair political system is broken and their politicians are either incompetent or corrupt and by the way, i'm the best thing that's ever happened to puerto rico. but critics say that's not true, pointed at the president's paper towel tossing performance. >> reporter: between 1 and 10, how would you rate the response? >> i would say a 10. >> reporter: he's making other waves, as is the es administration is pulling back on assist tons to ukraine. cutting that aid would be welcome by russia's president vladimir putin. >> i believe the united states has an ethical commitment to help the ukrainians defend themselves. it's hard not to juxtapose this with the push by president trump to bring russia back goo the g7. >> reporter: he's -- >> china plays a vicious game. they targeted our farmers. that's how vicious they play the game. they know the farmers loves trump and trump loves the farmers. they're incredible. they don't want any subsidies. he 'also unhappy with fox news, with the exception of certainly personalities. >> i'm not happy with fox. people say fox is for me, fox, look, sean and laura and tucker has really been very good -- somewhat trick about, but that's okay, but he's been very good. you guys in the morning, ainsley and steve, you've become -- i used to say you were a solid 6 or 7, but you're getting much better. >> reporter: the president said he's planning to draw down the number of troops? afghanistan. he's long advocated for a total withdrawal, but it appears advisers warn against that kind of move have won the day for now. as for the president's trip to poland, it's worth noting he was supposed to meet with the new president of ukraine while in warsaw. no word whether the vice president will have that meeting. that's a key meeting, as you know, as the administration is considering whether to hold up military aid for ukraine, something the pentagon doesn't want to see happen, but of course the final call belongs with the president. >> jim acosta at the white house for us. joining us is don bier, from virginia. thank you for coming in. did the president do the right thing by cancelling, or at least postponing his trip? >> yes, he did. i'm glad he's fogs can on the hurricane, but you can't take away from the fact that he so blew it four years ago when the storms hit puerto rico, and hopefully he won't attack the leaders in the southern states like he did with puerto rico. when they needed him the most, he's been tearing him down. >> he was supposed to meet with the new president of ukraine, obviously that's not now going to happen. what do you think of these reports that he's thinking of eliminating $250 million in military aid to ukraine. >> i think there will be strong backlash. john bolton was just there yesterday meeting with the ukraine leaders e. pledging u.s. support for their independence, their sovereignty,ist hard not to see this in the g7 context. they have not paid a price for stealing crimea, and for kinning to really try to disrupt democracies throughout western europe and the united states. >> there will be plenty of opposition if that decision goes forward. you heard a very different tone. you pointed it out yourself when the president is talking about puerto rico and the threat to puerto rico, as opposed to the threat to florida, and maybe georgia as well. why do you think that is? >> well, part of it is florida could be a swing state in 2020. part of it is florida is not an i'd full of people of color. we have seen him again and again pick on any where color is involved. but i don't really criticize his sticking up and trying to modify the impacts of the hurricane on florida. i just he was evenhanded when it comes to the virgin islands or puerto rico. >> but does he realize the 3 million people in puerto rico are u.s. citizens? >> i don't think he's ever really acknowledged that. at least he didn't talk about dropping a nuclear bomb in the middle of a hurricane as he's reported considering it. >> he's denied that, but axios is confirming that multiple times. the president says fema is prepared for this new hurricane, this category 4 potentially when it hits florida, maybe georgia, about you as you know, the trump administration is now diverting about 271 million from fema in order to beef up immigration protection, as the president would call it. what do you think about it? >> i think it's crazy. he has this obsession on a wall, now black wall, when we know that the things we need to be concerned about with the border, drugs, fentanyl are coming through the ports of entry. so it's a disaster. fema gets better and better, unfortunately with climate change we have become more practiced at dealing with this. >> but since congress appropriated those funds for fema, does the president have the authority to simply sign some sort of document and move more than $270 million from fema to some other purposes? >> we don't think he does, but he's going to assert iepa authority, but it's different to make the case there's an emergency on the border. the emergency is taking care of the women and children that turned themselves in voluntary. will you challenge that decision? >> yes, with he absolutely will. we had this fight over the last couple weeks where he was going to divert some foreign aid, again the same idea, citing iepa and he relented, thank goodness because there was bipartisan push back. i think there will be again. thank you for coming in. emergency steven prepared necessary as people scramble to get ready for hurricane dorian. and after ridiculing puerto rico, the president is openly concerned about the threat to florida. so what's behind the change in tone? stay with us. we'll be right back. is just a button. that a speaker is just a speaker. or - that the journey can't be the destination. most people haven't driven a lincoln. it's the final days of the lincoln summer invitation even. right now, get 0% apr on all lincoln vehicles plus no payments for up to 90 days. only at your lincoln dealer. my hands are everything to me. but i was diagnosed with dupuytren's contracture. and it got to the point where things i took for granted got tougher to do. thought surgery was my only option. turns out i was wrong. so when a hand specialist told me about nonsurgical treatments, it was a total game changer. like you, my hands have a lot more to do. learn more at factsonhand.com today. should always be working harder. that's why, your cash automatically goes into a money market fund when you open a new account. and fidelity's rate is higher than e-trade's, td ameritrade's, even 10 times more than schwab's. plus only fidelity has zero account fees and zero minimums for retail brokerage and retirement accounts. just another reminder of the value you'll only find at fidelity. open an account today. breaking news with hurricane dorian, taking direct aim at florida, president trump just announced that he's cancelling a trip to poland this weekend so he can day and monitor the storm response. he sounded much more concerns about the hurricane's impact than he did when the same storm was heading toward puerto rico. we'll talk about the abrupt change in tone. by all accounts he did the right thing in deciding this was not a good weekend for him to be away as millions of people po pinchally in florida and georgia play be in danger. obviously the president can be president of the united states literally everywhere in the world, but typically when the u.s. is threatened, they stay nearby. when the hurricane went to puerto rico, in fact, the president was at his golf course in new jersey. that was a point of concern, because he was trying to convene meetings from up there. it look like he wasn't entirely focused on that storm, but this is already a trip that's been cut short. he was going to go to copenhagen, so it was a lot easier to cancel the whole thing and send the vice president. today it's actually 14 years since hurricane katrina made landfall in louisiana. chairman got a lot of criticism at the time for not necessarily being on top of it. >> the defining photo or image of the bush presidency is him looking down at all of the flooding, flying over it. >> if you look at george w. bush's presidency, the war in iraq is not when the public losing full confident, but hurricane katrina the challenging thing for president trump was 24 hours ago he was mocking puerto rico for corruption or the mayor of san juan. totally different tonally, it's hard not to notice why. you can feel that way, but when a major hurricane is seemingly bearing down on that -- not the best for the president. >> why do you think there's a different tone with the dangers facing puerto rico, 'opposed to the dangers facing florida? >> i think it's obvious. it periods to race and periods to politics. in instances of any hurricane or a national disaster you have to be out there for the people and all the people. but when you you don't need to reterm the accounts of how he's referenced people, but on the issue of politics, how many electoral votes does puerto rico have? zero. how much participation do they have in the election or congress? zero. florida is always a state of contention, tied with new york, you've got to get it. you look at the past presidential election, president obama went for the first time in '089, 3%, trump wins florida, and he wins it against by just more than a little built. who are you going to pander to? the people you need to elect you. simple question, simple answer, that is race in politics. >> what do you think? >> i think joey is absolutely right. the president really does not view himself as being the president of people -- and also want -- as if he wants to communicate that not only does he not feel like the president, she doesn't care about them or their suffering. he doesn't want to go out there and make a gratuitous or cruel statements. there is some degree of irony in this case, right? as he was saying just the other as if it was puerto rico's fault, mother nature shifting it into florida florida, and remark le a met kale important state. it speaks to the situation of puerto rico puerto ricoans, and why aren't democrats out there trying to registered the puerto ricoan displayed following hurricane maria and now there are eligible to vote in why aren't the democrats focused on registering those people too vote? it seems like they would be a powerful voting bloc. everybody stick around. we have a lot more coming up after this. ice, every time. our 18 year old was in an accident. usaa took care of her car rental, and getting her car towed. all i had to take care of was making sure that my daughter was ok. if i met another veteran, and they were with another insurance company, i would tell them, you need to join usaa because they have better rates, and better service. we're the gomez family... we're the rivera family... we're the kirby family, and we are usaa members for life. get your auto insurance quote today. doprevagen is the number oneild mempharmacist-recommendeding?

>> this is yet another gift from trump to putin. certainly welcome news for the kremlin, currying favors with vladimir putin has been the bizarre hallmark throughout his presidency. this is a move that would draw bipartisan condemnation from congress. another example where he's out of step with not just democrats, but mention of his -- it simply doesn't share that view. and trying to ensure on the instrumental -- a coequal branch of government. the congress gets to appropriate funds. they have the power of the purse. they get to decide how money is spent. congress has set this $250 mill kwon for assistance to ukraine. for the president to refuse to spend it is undermining an importance function, this also comes as rudy giuliani continues to mouth this bizarre and frankly disgraceful -- ukraine has failed to play ball. so as we see trump's reluctance in this area, to do something that's common sense, it comes as the backtroop of his supporters pressuring ukraine to do what amounts to corrupt political favoritism. >> >>e says the ukraine has damages information about joe biden and his family. that's not emerged, at least not yet. he was threatening to cut about various. of aid, but had to relent in the face of pressure from republicans as well. >> in this, the president is basically daring congress to push back, and in some cases, particularly when it comes to certain types of foreign affairs issues, republicans in congress are willing to use whatever power, influence they have over president trump to sway him. they typically do it privately, through back channels, through the vice president, for example, through mike pompeo, the secretary of state. so they try to do it quietly without making it seem like they're reprimanding president, but make no mistake, there are some things that republicans think is even a bridge too far for the president. >> the president did a rather lengthy interview, about 22 minutes or so. you listened to it, i listened to it, on fox news radio. he spoke about some of the criticism that he's leveled. he was asked about some of the criticism he's leveled lately against fox news. listen to this. >> i'm not happy with fox. i think -- people think fox is for me. fox is good. look, sean, and laura, and tucker has been very good tucker's a little trucky, but that's okay. but he's been very good. and, you know -- i used to say you were a solid 6, maybe a 7, but you're getting much better. >> what did you think? >> i mean, so he clearly is a believer in state-one television and views fox at that, that they are supposed to be effectively propaganda for donald trump. when he says you were good, remember he doesn't gauge news on factual, interesting context, et cetera. he gauges it solely, is this good for me? or is this booed for me? i don't mean the presidency, but donald trump personally. the first name stuff, you know, sean and laura, they're great, you know, it affirms everything we know. he watches a ton of cable television. virtually all the time, the lens through which he sees the worlds. he has expectations of fox that's wholly unreasonable for someone who understands how a free press works. >> i watch a lot of cable television. we all watch a lot. >> we would never bad mouth cable television. >> go ahead, joey. >> where do you find the time? you're the leader of the free world, dealing with domestic policies, all types of issues, hurricanes coming our way, economy, we're talking about recession, don't want to mention that "r" word yet you're naming my first name the morning show, the night show, a rating, a solid 6, 7, but you're getting better. i if independence it amazing his fascinates, but it leads to policies, which leads to tweets, which leads to the government going in a direction based on what you learned on cable news. >> joey, it's called executive time. that's what it's culled. >> but the president is doing something that makes even fox uncomfortable. they like to make a distinction between what goes on during the day and at night, the entertainment time. the president sees that and why can't all of fox be like the people i like. these are fox news hosts he talks to on the home that are in some ways informal advisers, and he's pushing the network to do more. i don't think he's worried about the threat of abandoning fox, but he certain -- >> just one point to the executive time, joey, you know how many public events he had today? one, this afternoon, about space com. it was about ten minutes long. there's a lot of time in that to watch a lot of cable tv, which judging from his twitter feet, he does. guys, stick around. there's more news we're following, including the justice department's inspector general leveling new criticism at james comey, this time over how he handled his meetings with president trump. stand by. we have details. we also will get reaction. later what's behind the north korea pla north korea parliament's move?
