get under his skin that his own running mate is not defending him. i'm curious the kind of mood in trump world right now. >> you know, i have not heard that they're upset by governor pence's performance in any way or that they're worried that he might have upstaged donald trump. there was a lot of pushback to that reporting from the campaign. but what i can tell you was that before they were deciding on who was going to be donald trump's running mate, there was some concern about choosing somebody who would upstage donald trump, somebody like newt gingrich or chris christie who is more of a politician, a more practiced politician, bombastic politicians who know a lot more about policy than donald trump does. so there is precedent for that feeling, but i'm not getting anything from the campaign about them feeling like governor pence did too good of a job last night. but what i do know is that ty want to get donald trump better prepared for this next debate coming up on sunday. i was talking to aides last week, and they were talking about getting him a debate coach
perhaps, also standing him behind a podium to see what that would be like. this next debate won't be behind a podium, but just to get him more used to that feeling. also finding a way to get underneath hillary clinton's skin in a way that she was able to get underneath donald trump's skin, taking her off her game and also pivoting to territory that's more comfortable for him. governor pence did all that decently, if you're going to look at just style and the way that he was able to compose himself during his debate last night. donald trump did not do that, but i can tell you this, chris, i have asked the campaign multiple times this week what they're doing specifically for debate prep, they're just not answering the question. they've gone completely silent on this idea. he's had a pretty robust schedule. he has a campaign rally tomorrow or an event tomorrow in new hampshire. we're going to find out if he has anything else on friday or saturday, but remember before the first debate he had campaign rallies up until the days before and that seemed to hurt him
because he didn't seem as prepared certainly as hillary clinton was. so we're not entirely sure how much debate prep donald trump is doing, but i can tell you the campaign did feel like he needed much more going into this second debate. >> all right, katy tur, thanks for that update from las vegas, nevada. joining me now, a political reporter from "the new york times" and editor and publisher of "the nation" which endorsed hillary clinton today. why progressives should vote for hillary clinton. here's the thing i found most fascinating. donald trump such a maelstrom, the singular force and directs such attention, he so bizarrely fit into republican and modern conservative orthodoxy, in other ways he's a rejection of it. but then you forget that there's an entire republican party, there's literally thousands of people around the country governing at different levels that are not donald trump. this was kind of like what's
going on in that world. a great line today, if pence was a designated survivor o the republican primary, a man held away from the carnage trump has inflicted in the republican party, its conventions, orthodox es and pieties. >> i don't think this country will be the same. i don't think either party will be the same after this election. it's an up-end the rules election. we saw last night an element of the republican party which has been descending, not ascending, even before donald trump -- >> that's interesting. >> -- took this -- >> by that you mean social -- >> social conservatism. if you think what has roiled this election year, it has been populism, economic issues, the class divisions within parties, it has been economic insecurity and not the social issues which so animated the republican party. so we can talk all we want about preparation and this and that. last night we did see an extremist give really extremist positions a reassuring face. but the big issues facing i think this country and both
parties, disruptive globalization, populist nagsablism and the end of party work. how they do it will be central to their future. >> i think that trump has shown that faith voters are not the faith voters we thought they were. >> right. >> you know, that faith, religiosity, social issues as they are normally constructed are not necessarily any more the main drivers of politics in that part of that party. they have the same appetite on immigration, on populism and frankly on rage politics as the peer trumpista. you can't go back to that old model anymore. >> i remember in 2004 when the whole idea was the first evangelical president george w. bush, building america by tom edsel, there's a new rising evangelical base that would support this republican majority. my reminder last night was, look, donald trump, if he's elected president, there are
going to be thousands of mike pence acolytes, people with those politics on social issues who will be in the government. >> yeah, but i'm also thinking we talk a lot about young people, millennials in this election, we see even younger evangelicals, an unwillingness to go with climate denialism and which mike pence is, too, and donald trump. we've seen an opening there. and we've seen, though not as clearly as we thought, republican party can no longer be the party of white sanctuary nationally. >> they think they can abouty. >> they think they can be. the economic security in this country, the bad health outcomes, the end of the coal industry which is not due to hillary clinton but to fracking. so how we as a country come together to confront these challenges. donald trump i love we endorse hillary clinton. i say that only in the sense that when you see someone heading the republican party
poking an eye in the chamber of commerce's eye and poking an eye at the orthodoxy of a failed, discredited foreign policy and economic establishment even while he has failed in a spectacular loser i think is important. >> this is what i find so interesting. there's this little seduction to the left. >> it's not left -- >> no, there is, there's a seduction for little parts of the left in donald trump precisely because he has in many respects the right enemies. >> we endorsed bernie sanders because he was about inclusivity. donald trump is about bigotry and hate. [ many speaking at once ] >> there are voters on the trail who say my first vote was donald trump, my second choice was sandruss. >> i likeshaking up a discredited establishment. bernie sanders did that. >> here's the argument right here. the atlantic for the third time is endorsing.
so as soon as donald trump went off stage, mike pence sat down at the table and said basically yeah if we have to shoot down russian planes over syria, let's shoot down russian planes over syria. he was extraordinarily hawkish. >> the reason you see the party leaders behind trump is not that he's the presidential nominee, they think that if he's the president, it's them in the driver's seat. >> exactly. >> it's the foreign policy the usual -- >> they think they're going to get their trade deals. >> they think they're going to get their way. >> yes. >> because he so often -- but i do think anything we can do to force a debate to shake up the establishment -- >> you're -- [ many speaking at once ] >> we have toefeat donald trump. >> sometimes establishment shaking involves figures like donald trump. thanks for being with me tonight. still ahead how donald trump's headline grabbing personality overshadows the larger problems in the republican party and how mike pence, governor of indiana,
is a perfect reminder of that. did trump take advantage of a mistake in the tax code to pay no taxes after this loss. ♪ using 60,000 points from my chase ink card i bought all the framework... wire... and plants needed to give my shop... a face... no one will forget. see what the power of pointsc. learmoret chase.com/ink announcer: they'll test you. try to break your will. but however loud the loudness gets. however many cheese puffs may fly. you're the driver. the one in control. stand firm. ju wait.

"the new york times" revelation on trump's decades old tax return did shed some light on the subject.
he declared a $916 million loss on his 1995 income tax returns, a tax deduction so substantial it could have allowed him to legally avoid paying any federal income taxes for up to 18 years. trump first responded to that news by saying he had brilliantly used the tax laws to his benefit. mike pence echoed that last night. it's actually the fault of -- wait for it -- hillary clinton. >> she complains about how i have used the tax laws of this country to may benefit. then i ask a simple question. why didn't she ever try to change those laws so i couldn't use them? you know why? she could have changed the laws when she was in the united states senate, but she didn't. >> but, as noted by our next guest, it just so happens there was an egregious tax loophole in the 1990s created by accident which was closed by the job creation and workers assistance act of 2002 a bill that then senator hillary clinton voted
for and president george w. bush signed and it's entirely possible that is the exact tax loophole donald trump may have used if he did indeed manage to avoid paying taxes for nearly two decades. joining me the man who wrote about that tax loophole today, josh barro. we should note we're speaking in the hypothetical because we don't actually know. >> we don't know. we've only seen the first page of this tax return. if we'd have seen the whole return, we could talk more concretely about what's in it. >> how do you lose that much money? >> people haven't quite grasped how big this loss is. obviously $916 million is an enormous amount of money. but the provision he took, the net operating loss. when your business has losses that exceed all your income, you have a negative income. when you look at all the tax returns in the entire country in 1995, there was about $49 billion of that which means donald trump accounted for 2% of the net operating loss in the entire country. >> of the entire gdp of the u.s.
>> right. >> all the different firms and places that are operating. >> it's just individual income tax, but yeah, anyone who has a business like trump's that's owned as an individual company. did he really have $900 million of his own to lose in these businesses that we know did do very badly, in fact, in the early 1990s, his casinos, his airlines. he had three casino bankruptcies. so he did lose a lot of money, but there was this tax loophole. when you're like trump and you own this business and it goes bust and you lose money and the people who loaned you money also lose lots of money, normally those losses are split. the banks don't get paid back, they take part of the loss and you take part. the part that is really yours, you get to write that off your taxes. but there was an error in the way a specific kind of business form was taxed that basically allowed if there was a loss where trump was out 100 million and the banks were out 800 million, he could have written off the entire 900 million off
his taxes even though he really only lost 100 million. >> this is great. i love this. he could write off the bank's loss essentially on the loan. >> yeah. >> it was just a mistake in the tax code. >> it was a mistake in the tax code. as people started filing their taxes using this provision, the irs looked at this and said, this isn't right. there were years of litigation in the tax courts and it got to the supreme court in 2001 and the supreme court said the law does say this even though that's stupid. if you want to change it, you have to change the law. that's how we got this 2002 change. but up until 2002 people, including potentially donald trump, could have used this provision to claim losses on their taxes -- >> that they didn't -- was not their loss. >> yeah. >> so what i love about this story, is, a, it's a sort of window into how complicated and screwed up the tax code can often be? >> right. >> but in this case, it was fixed. they realized it was kraedz and they fixed it. >> this is unusually bad. usually people with loss of income, this is a particularly
egregious provision which is why it got fixed. nobody thought this was a good idea. it happened by accident. >> what i love about the story, this is like from two pages. the amount like eric trump and donald jr. have at various times sort of let the cat out of the bag that the real reason they're not releasing the tax returns is because it would we politically damaging. they've said as much. not just the audit. you get a sense how much information would be packed into these returns if we saw them. >> if what the returnsaid is the story that donald trump has told public which i which is that he built this big empire, lost it, clawed his way back through his own genius and now making more money than ever, you would think he'd want to release the tax returns. but i suspect what they say is actually that this loophole is what they use. this isn't the only tax information that we've seen. we've seen this tax return -- tax information on him from nine different tax years going back
to the 1970s. the highest income he ever reported was less than $120,000. that was back in 1977. we know of six years in which he reported no -- negative income. so the question for me if this was a real loss like mike pence said in the debate. >> he had a bad year. >> when did he make all that money? >> great point. >> we've not seen any tax return that says oh, donald trump made $200 million this year. >> that's a great point. josh barro, thanks for explaining that. >> sure. >> new battleground state polling, how the seemingly unprecedented volatile campaign is falling into a familiar pattern. i'll explain, ahead.
the paris agreement alone won't solve the climate crisis, but this agreement will help delay or avoid some of the worst consequences of climate change. >> today president obama announced that enough nations have now signed on to the paris climate agreement for it to be implemented beginning in 30 days. the first of its kind global treaty requires each nation to set specific targets for carbon emission reduction, then report its progress publicly. it just so happens that earlier today t president was meeting with fema officials to prepare for hurricane matthew, a massive storm that has already claimed 25 lives that made landfall yesterday. after moving through the caribbean, it is expected to hit or come dangerously close to the southeast coast of the united states where emergency evacuations are well under way. joining me now is bonnie schneider. what is the latest for the path of this storm? >> the track hasn't changed, chris, but we have a new position statement. right now the storm is still a
category 3, it's weakened just slightly. the problem is the storm was likely to strengthen to a category 4 before it becomes very close if not making landfall somewhere near the space coast in florida. that's why we have hurricane warnings impacting 9 million americans at this hour. just incredible. the hurricane watch extends all the way along the georgia coast because we are anticipating those strong winds and really dangerous storm surge. the category 4 storm comes perilously close north of melbourne by the time right around 2:00 on friday, but it's really going to ride the coastline whether it makes landfall or not. we're going to see really just dangerous conditions all across the southeast. the track eventually taking it further out to sea but may do a loop. that will be next week. we have to get through the next few days. the dangerous rainfall and flood threat that we're seeing from matthew we're likely to see especially here in south carolina where we could get ten inches of rain. that's one of the reasons we've seen these evacuations happen in the charleston area particularly in the low lying areas.
look for the impact continuing right now in the bahamas with 15 feet of storm surge then as we get closer to the florida coast unfortunately that storm surge will build in and that's going to be a really dangerous threat as well as the winds coming through from savannah all the way to charleston. keep in mind this is a dangerous storm and may be catastrophic for florida. >> bone, thank you for that. nbc meteorologist bonnie schneider. mike pence comes off as the sensible voice of the republican ticket. what that means about the republican party as a whole, next. and make you ill. wow! announcer: but you can keep bacteria from ruining your day with 4imple steps: clean. i'm ready for the rinse cycle! announcer: separate. all: woah! announcer: cook. fire in the hole! announcer: and chill. chipmunk: we chipmunks are notoriously tidy. announcer: check your steps-- the roadchip to food safety starts at foodsafety.gov. chipmunk: whoo! this is awesome!
i am very underleveraged, i have a great company, tremendous income. the reason i say that is not in a bragadocious way. it's because it's about time that this country had somebody running it that has an idea about money. >> i have to tell you, i'm a small town boy from a place not too different from farmville. i grew up with a cornfield in my backward. i dream of representing my home town in d.c., but i honestly never imagined i'd have an opportunity to be governor of the state that i love let alone be sitting at a table like this in this kind of a position. >> with his outside poll rising in personality and utter disinterest in politics donald trump breaks the mold for either party. not often that we get the running mate's views on a beauty queen tweeted out at 3:00 a.m.
behaving like a reasonably competent politician with a decent grasp of policy and political norms. it's a low bar but appears to have made an image of the public. 53% said pence was more likable than tim kaine who took a much more combative approach. but if mike pence representing the kinder, gentler gop that party is as extreme and far right as it's ever been. it's pushing an agenda that's not especially popular with the american public. a flurry of recent controversies have dimmed his hopes for re-election. in past months federal courts have struck down two of pence's key initiatives. in june a court blocked banning abortions based on fetal anomalies that mandated funerary services for aborted fetuses. think about that one for a second. just two days ago an appeals court halted pence's attempt to
bar syrian refugees to be settled in indiana after he took federal money to do just that. then there was the indiana law that would have protected discrimination of business owners by lgbt americans. after sparking a backlash, pence signed a modified version of the bill into law. joining me now,congressman andre carson who is a democrat from indiana and knows congressman mike pence. i wanted to get your reaction. a lot of people think this is the first time they saw an extended mike pence and i will say he has a very kind of avuncular sort of manner about him that's easy to watch. what kind of governor has he been? >> well, he hasn't been that popular. he and i worked together in congress. we went to lunch quite often. personally we have a pretty good relationship, but he's been unpopular in terms of his policies. and i think what you have seen as you referenced the freedom and restoration act.
during that debacle, the height of the debacle, we were hosting -- we were hosting the ncaa tournament, and also it cost the city of indianapolis over $60 million and lost opportunities to host future conventions. i think also one has to remember that governor pence voted against a minimum wage increase in 2007. and so i think that once one did submit deeper. he is likable personally, but i think his policies, he tends to be a bit too dogmatic. so i was pleased to see tim kaine firing back and being aggressive in terms of refuting the governor's claims about mr. trump. >> there was a long extended part of the debate about abortion which is something that has not been foregrounded by the trump campaign. donald trump didn't mention abortion or life once in his rnc speech which i found remarkable. this governor has been, i would say, at the front edge of the
anti-abortion movement across the country. is that a fair characterization? >> well, certainly i think he's been very pronounced in his statements and his actions. mr. pence is committed to his religious identity and principles and i respect that wholly. what we have to be concerned with, as some of my colleagues on the other side love to quote the founding fathers, as complicated as they were, the founding fathers wanted to get away from a theocracy, and i think those of us who are elected officials and i think tim kaine outlined very clearly when he had to deal with an issue regarding the death penalty, as an elective representative, he had to put his religion aside and govern for the people. he recognized that he represents muslims, christians, jewish brothers and sisters, sikhs, hindus, nontheists even and he
has to uphold the united states constitution and state constitution. so i think we have to be cautious of politicians who use their religiosity in a way that's dogmatic and an attempt to politicize and even proselytize to other people which to me is unacceptable. >> congressman andre carson of the great state of indiana. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thing 1, thing 2 ahead. but first a funny thing happened at the trump rally in nevada tonight. i pronounce it nevada and that's how you pronance it. do not pronounce it as nevada, people from nevada hate that. >> meth overdoses are surging in nevada. and you know what i said? you know what i said? i said when i came out re, i said, nobody says it the other way. it has to be nevada. and if you don't say it
correctly, and it didn't happen to me, but it happened to a friend of mine, he was killed. is it a professor who never sts being a student? is it a caregiver determined to take care of her own? or is it a lifetime of work that blazes the path to your passions? your personal success takes a financial partner who values it as much as you do.

york's chinatown to ostensibly discuss the 2016 election. but segment that aired had little to do with political discourse. instead it trotted out a host of tire and offensive asian stereotypes half edited together with movie clips. how much trolling, anti-asian racism can you pack into one news segment? more than i ever thought possible. >> am i supposed to bow to say hello? i like these watches. are they hot? >> jcpenney. >> do you like donald trump? >> yes. hillary clinton basically is an extension of obama. >> who are you going to vote for? >> clinton's wife. >> clinton's wife has a name. what is it? >> oh, man. i forget it. >> snap out of it. >> this kind of shtick was played out and racist decades ago. today lawmakers and civil rights orgazations are expressing anger over the segment.
the asian american journalist association is demanding an apology from fox news. quote, it's 2016. we should be far beyond tired, racist stereotypes and targeting an ethnic group for humiliation and objectification on the basis of their race. sadly, fox news proves it has a long way to go in reporting on communities of color in a respectful and fair manner. interestingly enough, fox news has not defended the segment. in fact has not commented on the matter. as for the comment he commented on what i don't think was meant to be a joke, as a political humorist and defended his segment my man on the street interviews are meant to be taken as tongue in cheek and i regret if anyone found offense. in completely and totally unrelated news, asian americans are the fastest growing racial group in the u.s. and could influence key battleground states in the election cycle. the asian american vote in presidential elections has gone from being solidly republican to being solidly democratic.
in fact, new polling shows hillary clinton up 41 points among asian americans. in fact, that same survey found that asian americans are more than twice as likely to identify as democrats than republicans. and maybe, just maybe because they are completely repulsed by a political movement whose most high profile voices think it's hilarious to punk and humiliate their grandmothers. >> trump has been beating up on china. how does that make you feel? >> speak, speak, speak, why don't you, speak. >> boy, it really is impossible to figure out how donald trump came to be the republican nominee, isn't it?

in 2008 it happened after sarah palin, then democrats gained the upper hand and obama pulled out a pretty sizable win. in 2012 it happened in october after which romney was seen as the consensus winner. that race remained pretty close into the final stretch with obama holding a consistent edge. we saw tightening a few weeks ago when clinton had her worst week of polling after she referred to trump supporters as, quote, in a basket of deplorables and fell ill at the 9/11 memorial service. the question now will the basic fundamentals reassert themselves and does that mean democrats are on a glide path to victory? joining me now a former national press secretary for the democratic national committee and former deputy campaign manager for romney 2012 and an msnbc contributor. i remember listening to david
pluth give interviews and he was unflappable. his whole thing was you guys are all freaking out. the fundamentals are the fundamentals. we know how many votes we need in each of these counties and swing states, we know what the composition of the electorate is. don't worry about it. that to me seemed unpersuasive then but maybe looks better now? >> yeah, well, i think he's right. the fundamentals are the fundamentals. the map is the same and the math is the same. it's a much harder road for him to get 270, but more than that donald trump isn't doing what he needs to do. he hasn't invested in data and kate can tell you how much strong data program is going to help on election day, or on gotv or on field. now romney had 17% of the white vote in 2012 and he lost. because of the demographic changes in the country, trump would need 22% --
>> you mean a lead of 17%, above the -- >> yeah, i'm sorry. margin. >> if donald trump was getting 17% of the white vote we'd be looking at a 90-10 kind of election situation. just so people are clear on that. romney won white voters by 17 points. demographic change says that trump would have to win by 22%. >> and he has 13%. so that's where my confidence in the fundamentals of this campaign are really high. and the biggest fundamental of this campaign that hasn't changed is donald trump makes every single day about donald trump, and if it's a referendum on donald trump, he's not going to win. >> hari's point about white voters, there's been so much emphasis on race and donald trump and race and the idea that he can essentially boost his performance along white voters perhaps at the expense of non-white voters by sort of
embracing this line on immigration or the muslim ban. but romney, romney was -- did better than donald trump is currently doing among white voters which is pretty remarkable. >> well, that's the fundamental problem, and you're right, the fundamentals of the race are, as david pluth said, these battleground states are tough places for republicans to win. you know, in spite of some of the mistakes that we made as a campaign in 2012, we did do most things correctly in terms of ground game in terms of get out the vote. and it's just hard. it's hard in most of these states for a republican to win. you don't have any margin for error. and donald trump seems to be going out of his way every single day to alienate exactly the kinds of voters that you need to get you over the threshold. the problem with his whole strategy is these so-called reagan democrats that crossed party lines back in the '80s, they've been voting republican for the last two decades.
so those aren't new voters. those are the same voters that voted for john mccain and george w. bush and mitt romney. we had to have the politics of addition if we want to win that nationally, donald trump is failing that math. >> there's a more sophisticated version of that argument which is the david wasserman missing white voter thesis, which he wrote in 2012. which he points out, and this is factually true, there are millions and millions of white noncollege voters who just don't vote. they're either not registered or they're registered and they don't vote. there was some sense that maybe trump would be the person to bring those voters sitting offline online and there's maybe some evidence in states like wisconsin or ohio where he is sort of overperforming where you would think he'd be that he is but it still doesn't look like it's going to be enough. >> yeah, i think that's right. the other problem is i do
believe he's energizing voters in certain demographics, but the problem is he hasn't been vested in registration efforts or get out the vote efforts, so sort of these fallout voters or the sporadic voters who don't vote every cycle that you're talking about are going to need extra help getting registered and getting to the polls and he hasn't invested in those programs. so those showing up to cast votes for him will be much harder to do that makes the challenge in swing states very difficult. >> just yesterday i was in farmville, virginia, which by the way, absolutely lovely place, longwood university, farmville, could not be a more lovely pristine idyllic college town. talking to obama veterans, my brother was field director for the state in '08 for obama, at the time making a strong play in virginia seemed a real stretch. we're two cycles later and in both virginia and colorado you have states that have seen stretches that are pretty solidly -- i mean, virginia's
remarkably performing for hillary clinton in a way i wouldn't have predicted. that stacks the deck even more. >> what you see in places like virginia and colorado is that for every voter that you were talking about that maybe hasn't been energized to vote in the past that is, you know, working class white voter, that may be coming out for trump, there's one or two suburban white republican women like me who have voted republican their entire life and can't stomach voting for a candidate like donald trump. and so again it's just the politics of basic math. if you're losing a voter or two or every voter you're bringing in, the math just doesn't add up. >> on top of that, there's this sort of ground game question which we're going to sort of get a sense of. hari, very quickly, do you think it's possible for hillary clinton to do something like, say, lose ohio and end up winning, say, north carolina? >> yeah. i do. andhe thing is, she can do that. the fundamental here is that

from a campaign or personal funds and the president was the one who directed the payments. >> members of his campaign, members of the trump organization all document that the money was paid before the election and prosecutors brought charges that mister cohen was motivated for political reasons to pay hush money and mister trump is named as the person who directed and coordinated it. >> reporter: he mentioned sharks, democrats on the wasting no time blasting the president as a co-conspirator with talk of impeachment and calling for brett kavanaugh's supreme court nominee hearing to be postponed. >> this nomination is now tainted because the president who nominated him, brett cavanagh, implicated in a criminal conspiracy. >> he did not drain the swamp, he made it more rigid and more fetid. there is a cesspool around this president. >> reporter: chuck grassley says

thing. the social security card, he had a social security number. how is that possible? even if you have somebody who died, the name won't matchup. how does that work? >> reporter: my understanding, a press conference with the owner of the farm in question, it was alleged he was misrepresenting himself as whoever that social security card belonged to. i recall some years back the social security administration putting out a memo, over a decade ago, 9 million social security guards in this country that didn't match the individual they were supposed to be with. at the same time our federal government was saying we have no way of locating illegal aliens in the united states, it is complete rubbish. we have not had commitment to stop this. i like what the president said.

that doesn't necessitate that you have the right to do so. we need a set of legislators on both sides of the political aisle put american citizens of all races, colors and creeds first before the needs of individuals, once they establish that we have secure borders and start to legally put people into the united states that we can that things like what happened in iowa don't happen again. jillian: appreciate it. 19 after the hour, raging flames more dangerous thanks to verizon. the cell phone company coming under fire for putting firefighters lives in jeopardy. rob: the sky is the limit for this 90-year-old. how former president george hw bush inspired an epic birthday celebration.

deduction that quote benefit the high income earners to pay for tax cuts for american families. he said the tax deduction thing benefitted rich people. deductions reduce your overall tax bill. in new york, the cap could increase taxes by $14 billion this year. new york governor cuomo calls it a political attempt to hurt democratic states. he promised to fight this treasury rule. california republican congress member duncan hunter and his wife pleading not guilty in federal court thursday at the charges they illegally used $250,000 in campaign funds to furnish their lifestyle. hunter seemed to point the finger at his wife on fox news last night. >> i went to iraq in 2003, the first time i gave her power of attorney. she handled finances throughout my military career. that continued on when i got in congress. she was the campaign manager.

northeastern section of the island. governor david ige says they could get up to 30 inches and waves up to 20 feet high. there is now a voluntary evacuation order near hilo. the normally scenic river here turning into a torrent. [ siren ] >> emergency sirens blaring yesterday. fema has generators and other supplies across the island. the island received a tropical storm warning. for the latest. we are joined by meteorologist ivan cabrera in the cnn weather center this morning. ivan, what should they expect? >> a horrible night. good morning, dave. it is now half past 4:00 a.m. in the east coast.
night has fallen in hawaii. a very long night and very long day. this is quite an event. it is under way. despite the center of the storm is 200 miles south of honolulu and south of the big island. you mentioned the incredible amounts of rain which turned rivers no torrents -- rivers into torrents. at one point it was a cat five. we are going to have strong winds eventually. it is the rain ahead of the system that is causing the problems. we picked up almost 2 feet of rainfall in the parts of the big island in the last 24-to-48 hours. we will see that as a problem here as the rain falls on the mountain side and will continue to come down the mountains and speed up and go through the valleys. here is the radar. the center of the storm. the rain ahead of it to the north and east. hurricane warnings still flying for the middle islands here. tropical storm warning for the
big island. really don't let your guard down. this went from hurricane warning to a tropical storm warning. that means the hurricane winds will not make it there. the rains will make it there. they have been and that is going to be the big threat. the current winds. the highs here with the center of the storm. 28-mile-an-hour winds in honolulu. it is gusting at 37. that will become higher today and tomorrow. the rain will be the big story here and the legacy of the storm. look at this. this is 1 inch an hour. that is what we are looking at with the easterly wind. the radar is broken on the west side of the island. they are adding lift with the rain and yyou squeeze every dro of moisture. you get 17 plus inches in hilo in 24 hours. over 22 inches to the south. those are the kinds of rains we will talk about as the warm moist air goes up the mountain and cools and condenses and
comes down in a you are i. my concern -- down in a hurry. my concern is the valleys with the flooding. we are also going to deep with storm surge as well. saltwater flooding as well. we will get hit on both sides here. it will be a long event. by saturday at 8:00 p.m., the storm is south of the island. >> ivan, thank you. from honolulu, here is luke meyers. the officer for the executive office of emergency management agency. >> we want the public to be r ready and on guard. we ask them to be ready for two weeks at minimum. as the storm is coming in, everyone is watching the forecast models. we say don't get too concerned about that. we are looking at tropical storm or hurricane-force winds or
potentially a lot of flooding. urban flooding potentially. as the storms makes the approach to maui and oahu, we may have coastal flooding or storm surge. we are telling the public to stay tuned to the national hurricane center and national weather service and officials at the county level and take action. we prefer them to shelter in place. if they feel safe, if they feel unsafe, and they feel like their home is threatened. they can try to find a shelter. >> 35 shelters are open across the islands for those who need them. another key figure in the effort to squelch trump figures is now cooperating. the wall street journal reporting david pecker, publisher of "the national enquirer" has been granted immunity. he told prosecutors mr. trump
knew about payments with the women who had sexual encounters with him. >> david pecker said he and michael cohen worked together for the $150,000 payment to karen mcdougal. american media was supposedly buying the rights to her story, but buried the story instead in a tabloid tactic called catch and kill. >> in an interview with fox news, the president lashed out at former allies who turned on him like michael cohen. >> everything is wonderful. then they get ten years in jail and they flip on the next highest one. it almost ought to be outlawed. >> the associated press reports the national enquirer is known to have kept a safe with hush money and damaging stories. >> a according to " -- ago to"
the new york -- according to "the new york times" prosecutors want to know how the president accounted for reimbursement of michael cohen to the payment of daniels dwae daniels. federal prosecutors say cohen did know legal work in connection with the matter. the da review is said to be in the early stages. no comment from the trump organization. attorney general jeff sessions has apparently had enough of attacks by president trump. a.g. pushing back after the president lashed out saying sessions failed to take control of the justice department. the president slammed the a.g. regularly for more than a year since sessions recused himself from the russia investigation. >> he took the job and then he said i'm going to recuse myself. i said what kind of a man is this. the only reason i gave him the job is i felt loyalty. he was an original supporter.
>> we have cnn's kaitlan collins at the white house with reaction from sessions and other top gop lawmakers. >> dave and christine, we are seeing the feud with president trump and attorney general jeff sessions intensify after president trump said he never thought sessions actually took control of the justice department despite being attorney general for a year and a half now. it is not unusual for the president to criticize sessions since he recused himself from the russia investigation. what is rare is that sessions fired back at his time saying the department of justice won't be swayed by politics. in a statement he said i took control of the department of justice the day i was sworn in. later on in that statement, he says while i am attorney general, the actions of the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. although jeff sessions and the president have been at odds for some time now, what has changed is two leading senate republicans, graham and
grassley, are now talking about a future where jeff sessions is not the attorney general. listen to what senator graham had to say on capitol hill. >> the president's entitled to an attorney general he has faith in. somebody qualified for the job. i think there will come a time, sooner rather than later, where it will be time to have a new face and fresh voice at the department of justice. clearly attorney general sessions doesn't have the competence of the president. >> reporter: right now, jeff sessions' future will continue to hang in the balance. dave and christine. >> kaitlan collins, thank you. >> the attorney general was at the white house yesterday for a meeting on criminal justice reform. we learned that the criminal justice overhaul has been tabled until after the midterms. this has been pushed by the bipartisan lawmakers and jared kushner. the senator has a problem with the sentencing revisions and wants to revisit the issue after
november. sources tell cnn the trump/sessions feud was not addressed at the meeting sdplchmeeting. >> the president bullies this man repeatedly on twitter and face-to-face, nothing. interesting dynamic. interesting few days for congress member duncan hunter and his wife. they are indicted for alleged fraud. he seemed to throw her straight under the bus. >> she handled my finances throughout my entire military career and that continued on when i got in congress. it senses your movement and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. and now, all beds are on sale. save 50% on the new sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. plus, free home delivery. ends saturday.
thinking, you would see -- you would see numbers that you would not believe in reverse. >> the president of the united states is essentially declaring he is the stock market. let's take a less hyperbolic look. impeachment would cause a concern, but a crash? resilient riding the longest bull market ever. the economy is strong. corporate profits are booming thanks to the tax cuts. if trump were impeached and had to leave office, impeachment does not necessarily guarantee that. they may drop his trade war which wall street would love. if the market did crash, would americans be poor? no. half of americans are invested in the stock market. many of those are wealthy and super wealthy. the top 10% of earners, the
value of stock holdings is 1.4 million. the bottom 50% is $52,000. a stock crash. how would that affect those people who don't have money in the stock market? >> political reality. the senate will not impeach the president. it is in republican hands and will remain so. mike pence f , if he is the president, more conservative. you take out the trade war. the stock market climbed 27% after clinton was impeached. >> interesting parallel. that was a time of strong economy. very strong economy. all of this political chaos. i talk to people who are traders and new york stock exchange. they say the political chaos is factored in here. now it is about interest rates and earnings and trade. >> let us know what you think about this @earlystart on twitter.
california republican congress member duncan hunter and his wife pleading not guilty in federal court thursday at the charges they illegally used $250,000 in campaign funds to furnish their lifestyle. hunter seemed to point the finger at his wife on fox news last night. >> i went to iraq in 2003, the first time i gave her power of attorney. she handled finances throughout my military career. that continued on when i got in congress. she was the campaign manager. whatever she did. that will be looked at, i'm sure. i didn't do it. >> interesting dinner conversation. no response from hunter's wife, mag get. they are -- margaret. they are accused of spending $14,000 for family vacation to italy and $3,300 in fast food like in-n-out. >> i was surprised to see how often their bank account was overdrawn. >> $37,000 in overdraft fees.

us to a dark gully. >> he lay me down on the mattress. >> reporter: another place he was raped by a priest he once trust trusted. >> i didn't even get a sorry. he didn't say sorry. >> reporter: darren and other victims say apologies are important, but from the pope, they want firm policies to ensure no one suffers like this again. the victims' demands are reasonable. suspected reporting of abuse and zero tolerance across the catholic church. anything else they say will be viewed as a failure by the pope to fix this. dave. >> you are right. time for accountability. great reporting, phil black. appreciate it live in dublin. 57 minutes past the hour. a check on money. trade fears shaking wall street. the u.s. slapped tariffs on $16

"the new york times" reports these would be state charges. presidential pardons could not apply. laura ingle with the news. laura? >> shep, we could be looking at a domino effect stemming from michael cohen's guilty plea in the federal case with additional state charges. now, his federal guilty plea included breaking campaign finance laws with those payments to women that claimed to have a fairs with president trump before he took office. the manhattan district attorney is considering criminal charges against the trump organization and two senior company officials in connection to the hush money payments. the associated press reporting one of those senior officials might be alan wiselberg who
allegedly reimbursed cohen for the stormy daniels payment through the trump organization marking it down as a legal expense. wiselberg's immunity deal is only for the federal case. this situation could lead to state charges. the a.p. also reporting that new york's attorney general has requested a criminal referral from the state tax department, which subpoena's cohen the day after he admitted to evading federal taxes. the question is if cohen evaded his state returns as well, shep. >> shepard: there's word that the national inquirer kept a lot of this damaging information. the details of the catch and kill stuff in one place, in one safe. >> in one safe. the a.p. is reporting this tabloid worthy headline that broke last night, we reached out to american media incorporated and their lawyers which owned the national inquirer. haven't heard anything back. this news coming after our sources confirmed to fox yesterday the federal prosecutors granted immunity to
david pecker who as we know is a long-time friend of the president. according to the report, the inquirer kept this treasure trove of documents that detailed hush money payments from pecker. the ceo paying for the damaging stories about mr. trump and not publishing them in that practice that you mentioned catch and kill. the paperwork, another interesting part, was removed from the safe by pecker and the company's chief content officer just before mr. trump's inauguration according to the report. what happened to those documents is still unclear. >> shepard: laura engle in report. sad news now. you may have heard senator john mccain's family says he has decided to stop medical treatment for his brain cancer. the 81-year-old revealed that doctors had diagnosed him with an aggressive form of the disease. he's been at home in arizona since december. peter doocy live on capitol

>> shepard: as loyalists to president trump continue to flip and cooperate with the mueller investigation, president trump attacked his own attorney general, jeff sessions today, again. urging him to investigate the president's political opponents. justice department officials involved in the russia investigation. this is the latest in the escalating war between the two and comes after jeff sessions fires back at president trump following an interview the president did with "fox and friends" in which he criticized the a.g. in a statement, sessions said the department of justice will not be improperly influenced by political considerations. the president repeated those words in a tweet adding, jeff, this is great. what everybody wants. so look into all the corruption on the other side, including deleted e-mails. comey, lies and leaks. mueller conflicts. mccabe, strzok, page, ohr. just yesterday the president and sessions met face to face at the
white house. aides say they talked about reforming the criminal justice system. our chief intelligence officer catherine herridge has the news and live with more. catherine? >> in terms of telling a handful of republicans are talking about sometime after the mid-terms that senator graham that got this conversation started told fox last night that it's not about the russia investigation. he said it's not about special counsel robert mueller. he said it's about the relationship between the president and his attorney general that graham said had grown down. >> i hope the relationship gets better. if it doesn't, i would imagine the president is going to look for a new attorney general. because what's going on is unsustainable. i'm not blaming enough. i love jeff sessions. but from many i point of view, the country is not being well-served with this much friction. >> some of the republican leadership are not are the same page as senator graham. john cornyn said i know this is
a difficult position for him, a reference to sessions, to be in, but it would be bad for the country, bad for the president and bad for the department of justice to be forced out under these circumstances. i hope he stays the course and i hope cooler heads prevail. also, a senior senate democrat said firing the doj leadership would have a ripple effect on the presidency. >> if the president were to take some abrupt action and try to force out or replace rod rosenstein or attorney general sessions or, of course, special counsel mueller, that would have grave consequences for the president's standing in this institution. >> republican senator chuck grassley is an important voice in this conversation as chair of the senate judiciary committee. he would handle any potential confirmation hearing and he has indicated that he has space on his calendar if that is required. >> shepard: it seems this is a matter of great thought as he went late into the night and began early this morning and
attacked sessions more than once. >> right. so among the tweets, the president hit hard on what he describes as a double standard. he highlighted the case of national security agency contractor reality winter. reality winter received a stiff penalty for releasing information about russian hacking to a media outlet. the president said ex-nsa contractor to spend six months in jail, this is small potatoes to hillary clinton. double standard. it's important to know that there's more to the attorney general statement as well. it reads in part, i took over the department of justice the day after i was sworn in. that's why we've had sucks says in affecting the president's agenda. it protects the american people, reduces violent crime, enforces immigration laws and advances
religious liberty. we checked in with the justice department earlier today and they're not expecting to issue anymore statements, shep. >> shepard: catherine herridge, live for us. hurricane lane barrelling toward the island of oahu. the storm is causing flash flooding, landslides and even a fire, a live report from honolulu next.

slide show for you today. this is took advantage of the waves. police telling tourists to leave the wikiki beach. been the storms started, folks stopped up on supplies. and the lines for gasoline. the line behind her, not a short
one. thank you for your cooperation. steve harrigan live in honolulu. good morning. >> good morning, shepard. we're getting some taste of the first bands of rain here. the big question mark as you noted about the storm, is it going to keep going north and landfall in honolulu or like like most say, is it going to fear off to the west? it's not clear yet but the effects of the rain have been devastating. more than two feet of rain on the big island. here in honolulu, just beginning some deteriorating conditions. the police have been back here to try to get people off the beach, closing it down. that's not stopping the surfers. 3 to 4 feet waves out there. they're trying to squeeze what remains of the day. >> a lot of currents. it's pulling you. if you're not a good swimmer, stay out of the water. >> it's going to be fun. i understand the conditions.
i'm excited. if it's dangerous, i'm out. it's going to be fun. >> even without a direct landfall, the results still could be catastrophic. it's a slow-moving storm. about 4 miles per hour. the head of fema has said this will be a real marathon here the next two to three days, shepard. >> shepard: what else have they told them to get ready for this, steve? >> well, shepard, it's tough because as an island, you can't just get in your car and drive away as you might do in florida. instead they told people to shelter in place. try to have supplies up to 14 days, food and water, to try to ride this out, shepard. >> shepard: steve harrigan in honolulu. thanks. the extreme weather center for a look ahead. rick reichmuth has a forecast for us. hi, rick. >> things are trending better from where we thought they would a day ago. you can look in the last 24 hours. the storm was looking better yesterday. encountering some of the shear
and beginning to weaken and lose its structure. winds down to 105 miles an hour. a category two storm. radar, a little break on the east side of the big island. rain is coming back in and filling in again. the west side here, usually gets up two to three inches of rain. they're getting rain and wind with it. you get the idea. it's moving slowly and just the direction it's taking, all of the islands will get in on this. you'll notice the big island, down graded from hurricane warning to tropical storm warnings. winds not expected to be as bad there. still hurricane warnings for maui and oahu. and indications it will take a westerly turn and not make a direct landfall. the wind should not impact the island but it will get close. we'll see gusty winds around parts of maui and oahu. tonight, 2:00 a.m., that is 2:00 p.m. that's where it takes the big westerly jog. but sunday afternoon it's out of
here. that said, a lot of rain to come from this. take a look. one computer model output here on the east side of the big island putting another foot of rain here the next few days. that means the flooding we're seeing will be exacerbated. the east side over towards kauai. the rain won't be out of here for another 36 hours. winds probably 50 to 60 miles an hour overnight tonight, especially tomorrow things improve a little bit. >> shepard: thanks, rick, in the weather center. thank you. watching this for you. columbus, ohio. it was there just a second ago. this is columbus, ohio. the john glenn international airport. there it is. air force one has arrived. the president will be getting off the plane. he and the first lady are set to land or have landed. will disembark in just a moment.

against president trump and he has criticized the president since. a spokesman says that the governor, governor kasich, has a scheduling conflict. garrett tenney live in columbus. garrett? >> yeah, shep. the governor said earlier this week he would rather spend time with his daughter about to leave college than to attend this dinner with the president. governor kasich has repeatedly boycotted big events in his own state that the president attended going back to the republican national convention in cleveland. you'll remember, kasich was the last republican candidate to drop out of the presidential race. he's been a fierce critic of the president and his policies. that has led to a series of attacks from the president and his allies, including a blistering op-ed by the co-chair of the rnc that said kasich is jealous and has a pathetic need for attention after losing the nomination. kasich said those attacks don't
bother him and he will continue to speak out on the direction he believes the country should be heading in. >> shepard: is he a 2020 candidate, john kasich? >> yeah, a lot of talk about that out there. it's notable that he's been asked if he is planning to run in 2020. every time he's asked, he doesn't really give a straight answer. his chief campaign strategist, john weaver, alluded to kasich's popularity in new hampshire. in an e-mail to supporters after that op-ed by the rnc co chair saying the president and his allies are threatened by the governor and know his message works. the governor's approval rating is 9 points higher than the president's in ohio. it's also worth noting that a quinnipiac pole in june that in his home state, governor kasich is polling higher than democrats and independents. he has very favorable numbers, shep.
>> shepard: garrett tenney live for us. columbus, ohio. the president and the first lady make their way for events of the day. the california republican congressman duncan hunter is throwing his wife under the bus. appearing to blame her on this network as the two face charges of spending campaign cash on themselves. the feds say the couple used more than $250,000 of campaign funds on personal expenses including vacations, school tuition, theater tickets, fast food. last night congressman hunter told martha maccallum that his wife was in charge of the campaign and the finances. >> i gave her power of attorney when i went to iraq. she handled my finances throughout my military career and continued on into congress. i'm gone for five days and home for two. she was the campaign manager. so whatever she did, that will be looked at, too, i'm sure. but i didn't do it. >> shepard: wow. congressman duncan hunter and his wife pleaded not guilty to
the charges. chief correspondent jonathan hunt is live in the los angeles newsroom. that was unexpected. that he would say don't look at me. if anything happened, it was she. >> yeah, pretty extraordinary. you heard him say his wife might have done something wrong. he admitted his campaign might have handled money badly but he insists he personally is not guilty of any wrong doing whatsoever. while the indictment paints a picture of a congressman that repeatedly put his hand in the campaign cookie jar, hunter said his only involvement was righting the wrongs when he found out about them. >> i wanted to get this out of the way and face it head on two years ago. so we did an audit. i paid back every dime plus. i didn't quibble on stuff. i paid a few thousand dollars extra. i paid back every dime that they say was not spent exactly according to campaign rules. that was done before the last
election. i published it, went on tv. i showed people the audits. >> now, hunter and his wife, margaret, arrived and left court separately, not surprisingly, given that the congressman seems keen to throw margaret hunter under the bus, shep. >> shepard: what else are they learning about the feds say the congressman and his wife spent the money? >> the indictment depicts them as bing spent -- binge spenders because they couldn't afford things that they wanted like dinners and flying a pet bunny with the family. the congressman said this is about democrat-leaning prosecutors being out to get him. >> this is pure politics. the prosecutors can make an indictment read like a
scandalous novel if they want to. they've had 1 1/2 years to do this. there's no way for me to talk to my people or get this done in court before my election. >> house speaker paul ryan has called the charges deeply serious. democratic leader nancy pelosi has said hunter should resign. in case you were wondering, shep, the cost of flying a rabbit, $600. >> shepard: thank you. with lawmakers often taking a break in the month of august, you'd think that the month would be kind of quiet, right? don't even. you're turning onto the street

hill producer chad pergram. >> william shakespeare wrote beware of the ides of march. but in washington, it's august. august is just a month but the most volatile month in politics. martin luther king delivered his i have a dream speech on the steps of the memorial in 1963. president nixon resigned in 1974. the calendar was barely in august when soviets shot down a korean airliner killing over 20 people. iraq innovated kuwait leading to the gulf war. hurricane katrina hit the coast in august 2005. and the tea party rose to power in 2009. ted kennedy died in august 2009.
a year later in august 2010, word came that legendary alaskan senator ted stephens died in a plane crash. and also in august a magnitude 5.8 earthquake rocked washington. the senate was forced to meet across the street in the capitol. last year, there was the big conflict in charlottesville. august may just be a month on the calendar anyplace in america. in washington, everybody knows it's more. on capitol hill, chad pergram, fox news. >> shepard: up next, the trade war with china. talks have not looked promising and now there's word from officials in beijing that china will not let up. there's news continuing in just a moment. constipation and belly pain, talk to your doctor and say yesss! to linzess.

>> shepard: reality check. a change of plans in nuclear talks with north korea. the secretary of state's planned trip to the hermit kingdom called off. the president did it saying i feel we're not making sufficient progress with denuclearization and accused china of not helping out because of the trade war with the united states. the president did say that sec pompeo looks forward to going to north korea in the near future. after meeting with kim jong-un in singapore, president trump declared north korea was no longer a nuclear threat. just last month, the president claimed talks with north korea were going well. despite the repeated reports that north korea was actually expanding their nuclear weapons program instead of scaling it back. let's not forget who kim jong-un is. kim jong-un jails in a network of gulags more than 100,000 people. the international bar
association, war crimes committee reports that he's committed more than ten crimes against humanity, including murder, extermination, imprisonment, torture, forced disappearances and more. he's accused of murdering his own family members and threatening the world with nuclear annihilation to that man, chairman kim, president trump today sent warmest regards and respect and said i look forward to seeing him soon. the president meant in the trade war with china and escalated again today. the chinese finance minister told reuters that china will continue to hit the united states with import taxes on retaliation for the president's tariffs. yesterday officials from both nations ended talks with no progress. susan lee is here. susan? >> yeah. a $16 billion worth of new
tariffs goes into effect. that's in addition to those announced in june. so this will impact automobiles, tractors, textiles, metals and energy products as well. the trade delegation from china that was in washington d.c., those talks have ended. no break through. more importantly when it comes to diplomacy, no follow up discussions being talked about at all. so sounds like there's no progress when it comes to trade especially when there's public hearings on the president's trump to tariff 25% on $20 billion of chinese-made goods. that could impact the consumer. there's well known names and products here. that includes apple watches could cost more. fit bits as well. there's no follow up discussions that have been announced. that's probably going to go into effect and might hurt the u.s. consumer's wallets. >> shepard: we're getting word
of a potential deal with mexico? >> those discussions are ongoing and into next week. the deal is not done until it's done. although they say that it's imminent. at least they're making progress especially when it comes to autos and how much an automobile, part of nafta, how much that is made in north america and how much is made in mexico that is a big sticking point right now. obviously you need canada as part of this and mexico says you need three parties to be present to make a deal. >> shepard: working on it. >> yeah. >> shepard: thanks, susan. >> you too. >> shepard: the hotel that inspired "the shining" got an unexpected late-night visitor. it wasn't jack nicholson, either. too bad. lillian has details of what it did it get. what happened? >> this is a family hope tell in colorado. it was inspiration for "the shining" which was turned into a film with jack nicholson.

>> shepard: on this day in 1869, a man from new york patented the first waffle iron. 1869. similar gadgets have been around since the 1300s. but this particular inventor, this one from new york, said he wanted to improve the design. he added a handle and a clasp. the whipped cream and cherries came later. so you could flip it without getting burned. 40 years later, general electric came out with the first electric waffle iron. it was the prototype for the ones that we use today. now anybody with whip up a fresh waffle after an inventor made breakfast easier 149 years ago today. it does not come with the chocolate. check out facebook watch for a fox news update. we do this every day shortly

hurricane florence is a category 4, likely to make landfall along the coast of the carolinas friday morning between 6:00 a.m. and noon. this all could change, of course, and just look at this tonight. the eye clearly visible right there. a very strong storm. and one of the things they're also worried about is once it slams into the u.s., another system might just hold it in place, dumping several feet of rain. and at this hour, 10 million people in its path, this image says it all. both sides of the highway there in south carolina going in the same direction tonight to help people get out. millions across several states will be effected by this. north carolina's governor tonight warning this could be deadly. tonight, the newest track, when it hits and abc's steve osunsami leading us off. >> reporter: from charleston to columbia tonight, and from myrtle beach into north carolina and virginia, more than a million and a half people are heading one way -- away from danger. >> enough clothes for about a week, in case we can't come back right away. >> reporter: jennifer forte and her son, robbie, piled their dog into the car and didn't look

and a year ago this time, when hurricane irma hit, this is what it looked like. streets were flooded. cars were under water. and this wasn't even a direct hit. they don't call this the low country, david, for nothing. >> that's right. that was several hours after irma made landfall in florida. steve, thank you. a powerful reminder of what this will do. and as steve reported, there is a massive effort tonight to get ready for this hurricane. families, businesses and communities are boarding up buildings and racing to get supplies. hundreds of national guard troops have been called up to help. authorities warning the flash flooding and power outages could last days or even weeks. abc's gio benitez in kitty hawk, north carolina, tonight. >> reporter: tonight, a massive effort underway. from virginia to maryland to the carolinas, communities along the coast bracing their towns for florence. fema trucks on the ground in north carolina delivering supplies. at low country food bank, workers help pack disaster relief boxes. teams from local fire departments and the red cross are already coming in from louisiana, indiana, even north dakota.

it will slow down eventually. let's break it down. 140-mile-an-hour winds. tomorrow, could become a category 5 storm, albeit briefly, we are on strengthening mode, it is getting bigger, the wind field is huge. as it approaches, it's going to hit that blocking high, going to slow things down and that's not necessarily good news. but it brings it in on friday. the worst of the weather will be from 8:00 in the morning to 4:00 in the afternoon. hurricane warnings are posted. storm surge, up to 13 feet in spots. and beyond that, the rainfall inland is going to be significant. two to three feet of it, david, so, far away from the coastline here, there will be life-threatening conditions for multiple days after this storm eventually hits. david? >> rob marciano with us. you heard him say it, two to three feet of rain after this hits. rob, thank you. president trump talking about the impending hurricane tonight at a briefing with fema director brock long and homeland security chief kirstjen nielsen, saying the government is, quote, totally prepared for this hurricane. the president went on to talk about the response to last year's hurricanes, saying the response to puerto rico was, quote, an absolute unsung

he tossed paper towels to hurricane victims. and sitting next to puerto rico's governor, he declared maria's destruction far short of hurricane katrina's. >> if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died. what is your death count as of this moment? 17? >> 16, certified. >> 16 people, versus in the thousands. you can be very proud. >> reporter: the death toll was ultimately staggering, nearly 3,000 people. and now, as president trump and the nation brace for another potential disaster, the mayor of san juan telling abc news, "he never got it. he will never get it." >> all right, cecilia vega live with us tonight from the white house. and cecilia, you were in the room with the president today and you did ask him what his message for americans in the path of this current hurricane is, and what did he say? >> reporter: well, david, he
said everybody should get out. you have to listen to your local authorities. we know that fema is working closely with state governors. here at the white house, they are monitoring this storm around the clock. but you heard the president make that promise today, david, they say, he says the government is ready. >> all right, cecilia vega, rob marciano, gio, steve, all on this hurricane tonight, we thank you all. and we will stay on it. and we also want to point out, involving the president early this morning, the president and first lady marked 17 years since 9/11 with a visit to shanksville, pennsylvania, where passengers and crew from united flight 93 stopped hijackers from attacking. the president saying the field is now a monument to american defiance, and a message to the world that america will never, every submit to tyranny. we will have much more on this 9/11, images from around the country and what we heard from a woman, a survivor, who you met right here. we have been following her for years. that's coming up. in the meantime, we do move onto other news this tuesday night, and a hospital scare playing out today south of los angeles on live television. doctors, nurses, patients, all seen evacuating a medical center

get worse. hurricane storm surge being pushed upriver, essentially stopping the flow, lifting the levels and potentially sending water right into downtown. the army corps of engineers says though the roughly 20 foot high levees may be overtopped, they will not fail, nor should the flood walls, improved after katrina. >> we're confident that we are not going to have a duplicate of katrina. however, if you have a storm that has elevations much higher than those flood walls, you're going to get water in the city. >> reporter: david, officials obviously preparing for the worst. those katrina upgrades are going to be tested with this storm. and there's still a fair amount of uncertainty when it comes to the intensity of this storm. that said, hurricane warnings have just been posted as we come on the air across the louisiana coastline. tropical storm warnings up for new orleans and baton rouge. flash flood watches for louisiana, all the way into the florida panhandle. big rains with this. the center is just less than 100 miles offshore, a little bit bottom heavy, dry air to deal with. but water temperatures are in
the upper 80s. so, we do expect along the path to see intensification. 60 miles an hour tomorrow afternoon. making landfall saturday morning right around the cusp of a category 1 storm and then decreasing in intensity after that. three to six feet of storm surge. so, this river level is going to come up, but the rainfall will be in excess of two feet. so, we will see flood issues here and in towns well inland. david? >> rob marciano leading us off tonight. rob, thank you. also just in tonight, the passenger jet rocked by sudden and severe turbulence, 36,000 feet in the air with no warning over the pacific. the jet then plummeting. nearly three dozen passengers hurt. many hitting their heads on the ceiling. the air canada flight made an emergency landing in hawaii. abc's david kerley covers aviation. >> reporter: oxygen masks dangling in the boeing 777 right after that severe turbulence. >> half the cabin didn't have seat belts on, and there was no warning, and then half of them, their head hit the roof. >> reporter: the air canada jet had left vancouver for sydney and halfway over the pacific,

submarine-like vessel called a semi-submersible, designed to keep a low profile. it had been spotted by a marine patrol aircraft hundreds of miles of the coast of the ecuadorian/colombian border in the eastern pacific. >> that's going to be hard to get on. >> reporter: waves crashing, the coast guard crew draws closer. finally, picking alongside. a member of the team dressed in tactical gear boards the vessel. then pounding on the hatch. demanding that the smugglers surrender. inside, the coast guard discovers five suspects and in excess of 17,000 pounds of cocaine, worth an estimated $232 million. david, cocaine making a comeback in popularity. the same week that cocaine was confiscated in june, u.s. authorities discovered this ship in the atlantic, recovering more than a billion dollars worth of cocaine. and david, cocaine-related deaths have more than doubled in recent years.

>> it is designed to intimidate families, particularly hispanic families, from answering the basic questionnaire in the hope that they won't, and that they won't be counted. >> reporter: that could have a profound impact, since census numbers determine how many seats each state gets in the house of representatives. and how federal money is distributed. recently, the supreme court blocked the question. chief justice john roberts calling the administration's argument for including it "contrived." and today, the white house acknowledged they wouldn't have been able to fight this in court and still get the census done on time. president trump announced a plan b. >> i'm hereby ordering every department and agency in the federal government to provide the department of commerce with all requested records regarding the number of citizens and noncitizens in our country. >> reporter: now, the administration will use existing government data, including information from the irs and social security administration, to make an estimate of the
number of citizens and noncitizens in the united states. that is a far cry from changing the u.s. census questionnaire. david? >> jonathan karl at the white house. jon, our thanks to you. meantime, jon, as you know, the trump administration plans to move ahead now with those sweeping raiding by immigration and customs enforcement teams this weekend. some 2,000 immigrants in ten cities are reportedly targeted. and abc's matt gutman is in los angeles, one of the cities expecting those raids. >> reporter: tonight, those possible i.c.e. raids sowing fear across america. as reported by "the new york times", the roundups would target some 2,000 undocumented people on deportation lists. they'd reportedly begin sunday in as many as ten major american cities, about three weeks after president trump warned this could happen. the result? near panic in some places. we are in los angeles, headed to the home of a woman in an undisclosed location who, like so many thousands, plans to go into hiding. lillian, who asked that we not show her on camera, has been in the u.s. for over 20 years.
she has two children who are u.s. citizens, but she and her partner are undocumented. are you afraid. >> yes. i -- a lot of scared because for immigration. >> police, search warrant! >> reporter: what frightens people like lillian the most is i.c.e. deporting undocumented people who happen to be near someone on a target list like they did at this texas workplace. so, this sunday, do you plan to have the shades closed and extra food in the fridge? >> yes, of course, because i go yesterday to the market because -- for prepare. >> reporter: she shows us the food and water she stocked, enough to last her for several days. immigration groups fanning out, david, with cards like these, advising folks that they are not legally bound to open their doors to i.c.e. now, i.c.e. officials, unwilling to confirm to us that these raids will take place on sunday, but they do tell us that about 2,000 people are on their target lists and will be deported,

good evening and it's great to have you with us here on a very busy thursday night. that major hurricane about to hit the u.s. the second presidential debate now called off after president trump objected to it being a virtual town hall to protect everyone. but we're going to begin tonight with that alleged terror plot and the chilling plan. the fbi says it stopped before it could be carried out. a plan to kidnap michigan governor gretchen whitmer. and then what they were planning to do to her. 13 suspects arrested, including seven alleged members of a right wing militia group. the fbi and state authorities conducting a series of raids in michigan. those 13 suspects taken into custody, seven of them alleged members of that right wing militia group. governor whitmer has been the target of protests since last spring over restrictions aimed to stop the spread of covid, amid one of the early outbreaks. michigan, of course, a hot spot
at the time. today, governor whitmer thanking authorities for protecting her and her family, but went on to talk about white supremacists in this country and the president, who she pointed out, was asked to condemn white supremacists on that debate stage, you'll remember the president saying, stand back and stand by. our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas leading us off tonight. >> reporter: the alleged plot, nightmarish. >> earlier today, attorney general dana nessel was joined by officials from the department of justice and the fbi to announce state and federal charges against 13 members of two militia groups who were preparing to kidnap and possibly kill me. >> reporter: the fbi and state police, seen here raiding a home and detaining an individual, took action after the men met this week to exchange tactical gear and to pool their money to allegedly buy explosives. the mission? attack the governor before election day. authorities claim the planning was months in the making, with the men even going to the governor's vacation home twice to conduct surveillance.
two of the suspects allegedly had a plan to create a diversion. >> discussed detonating explosive devices to divert police from the area of the home. >> this is a highly dangerous group. they were well-armed, they were training, they had a plan and they were prepared to carry out their attack. >> reporter: according to the fbi, the men were apparently angry because of governor whitmer's restrictions during the coronavirus pandemic, including those on gyms. tensions have been high in michigan for weeks, with militia members, some of them armed, at one point descending on the state house last spring, intimidating lawmakers. the fbi infiltrated and wiretapped one of the groups, after getting a tip that the men were allegedly plotting against police and planning to attack the state capitol in an attempt to overthrow the government. with an informant listening in, they call whitmer a "tyrant." one of the suspects saying, "snatch and grab the governor. just grab the expletive." they allegedly wanted to take
her to a secret location in wisconsin for a trial, a trial that would end in execution. >> all of us in michigan can disagree about politics, but those disagreements should never, ever amount to violence. >> reporter: an angry governor whitmer today calling out president trump. >> just last week, the president of the united states stood before the american people and refused to condemn white supremacists and hate groups, like these two michigan militia groups. >> are you willing tonight to condemn white supremacists and militia groups -- >> sure. sure, i'm willing to do that. >> do it, say it. >> who? >> proud boys. >> proud boys, stand back and stand by. >> reporter: at one point president trump tweeted there was a need to "liberate michigan." >> so, let's get to pierre thomas tonight in washington. pierre, where does this case stand tonight? >> reporter: david, the investigation is ongoing. and there could be more charges. it's not quite over. >> pierre, you just reported here weeks ago on this broadcast
that fbi director christopher wray had warned of this very kind of threat. >> reporter: yeah, david, there are a variety of groups with grievances, some of them radicalizing online, some of them getting together to share their frustrations. they range from white supremacists to anti-government radicals from the left and the right, some of them even anarchists, kind of a witch's brew. the fbi has the difficult group of trying to figure out when they go from radical speech to something potentially violent. david? >> just an alarming story today unfolding. pierre, thank you. we're going to turn now to fast-moving developments in the race for the white house. the debate commission revealing today their plan to make next week's presidential debate virtual. the commission saying to protect everyone. joe biden saying yes, president trump pulling out, saying virtual isn't necessary, that he feels great. here's mary bruce. >> reporter: tonight, the fate of future debates is up in the air. >> we don't know what the
president's going to do. he changes his mind every second. >> reporter: it started with a surprise announcement that next thursday's presidential debate would be virtual. the commission saying the decision was made "to protect the health and safety of all involved." the biden campaign was open to it, but trump almost immediately shot it down. trump, still battling the virus, says a virtual forum is unnecessary. >> a virtual debate is a -- is a joke. there is no reason. i am in great shape. >> reporter: with no clear solution, last night's vice presidential debate could be the last faceoff of this campaign. >> the american people have witnessed what is the greatest failure of any presidential administration in the history of our country. they were informed that it's lethal in consequence, that it is airborne, that it will affect young people and that it would be contracted because it is airborne. and they knew what was happening and they didn't tell you. >> reporter: mike pence, the head of the coronavirus task force, on defense. >> but i want the american people to know that from the very first day, president donald trump has put the health of america first. >> reporter: on health care,
kamala harris took pence to task for trying to dismantle the affordable care act. the court set to hear a case that could invalidate the law just one week after the election. >> if you have a pre-existing condition, heart disease, diabetes, breast cancer, they're coming for you. if you love someone who has a pre-existing condition, they're coming for you. >> thank you, senator harris. >> nonsense. >> if you are under the age of 26 on your parents' coverage, they're coming for you. >> reporter: pence adamant they have a plan to protect people with pre-existing conditions but he couldn't say what that plan is. >> president trump and i have a plan to improve health care and protect pre-existing conditions for every american. >> reporter: and as republicans try to push judge amy coney barrett through the senate confirmation process, pence pressed harris to say if a biden administration would expand the supreme court. >> well, i'd like you to answer the question. >> mr. vice president -- i'm speaking. i'm speaking, okay? abraham lincoln was up for re-election and it was 27 days
before the election and a seat became open on the united states supreme court. abraham lincoln's party was in charge of not only the white house but the senate. but honest abe said it's not the right thing to do. >> reporter: harris never giving a clear answer on packing the court. today, the president took aim. >> this monster that was on stage with mike pence, who destroyed her last night, by the way, but this monster, everything she said is a lie. >> it's despicable. it's despicable. so beneath the office of the presidency. and the american people are sick and tired of it. >> so, let's get to mary bruce, back with us tonight, covering every step of this campaign. all of this fast-moving today. both candidates tonight now making their own plans instead of that debate. the president with a rally and joe biden deciding to do a town hall, but here on abc instead? >> reporter: yeah, david, instead of debating, president trump is going to hold a campaign rally. sources tell us it depends on
his health, but we do know that trump has been itching to get back out of the campaign trail, while joe biden will still be participating in a town hall. but instead of it being at that formal debate, he'll be answering voters questions right here on abc. david? >> all right, we'll be here, too. mary bruce tonight, thank you. now, more on that outbreak linked to the white house. we know now at least 34 people have tested positive, while the president, in an interview today, said there's nothing wrong when it comes to his condition. in a video he posted on twitter, he acknowledged he had been very sick. and what he also said in the interview about a white house meeting with gold star families more than a week ago, that they wanted to get close to him, he didn't stop them. but we asked tonight about those families, has anyone reached out to them, could they have been exposed? here's our chief white house correspondent jonathan karl. >> reporter: exactly one week after he said he tested positive for covid-19, the president today declared himself cured. >> i think i'm better. when -- to a point where i'd love to do a rally tonight. i wanted to do one last night.
but i think i am better. i feel perfect. there's nothing wrong. >> reporter: although in a video released today but recorded yesterday on the south lawn of the white house, he acknowledged he had been very sick. >> i went into the hospital a week ago, i was very sick. and i took this medicine and it was incredible. it was incredible. >> reporter: in reality, we still know very little about the president's true medical condition. he says he is still on the powerful steroid dexamethasone, but his doctor has not taken questions since monday, and the white house is still refusing to say when the president last tested negative. something that is critically important in determining who he may have infected. or even whether he already had the disease during his debate last week with joe biden. >> when was the president's last negative test? >> i can't reveal that at this time. the doctors would like to keep it private. >> reporter: but there is no reason the president can't release that information himself. the president today implied he was infected on september 27th at an event with families of fallen service members at the
white house. >> i met with gold star families. i didn't want to cancel that. they're telling the story of their son who just died, or daughter or husband, and i can't back up, maria, and say, give me room, i want room. give me 12 feet, stay 12 feet away when you're talking. they come within an inch of my face sometimes, they want to hug me and kiss me. and they do. it's obviously dangerous. >> reporter: that event with gold star families was after the rose garden event with amy coney barrett, but before the president traveled to cleveland for the debate with biden and to a rally in minnesota and later to a fund-raiser in new jersey. according to a government memo obtained by abc news, 34 people connected to the white house have tested positive. and we've learned the head of white house security has been hospitalized with covid-19 since the end of september. republican senator mitch mcconnell revealed today that he has not been to the white house in over two months, because he has not been comfortable with the steps taken there to prevent the spread of the virus. >> i haven't actually been to
the white house since august the 6th, because my impression was their approach to how to handle this was different from mine and what i insisted that we do in the senate, which is to wear a mask and practice social distancing. >> the words from mitch mcconnell. let's get to jon karl with us live again tonight. and jon, the president saying there that those gold star families wanted to get close to him, that he didn't stop them. but we were all curious, what about the flip side, has the white house reached out to those gold star families in case they were the ones exposed to the virus? >> reporter: david, we found out that the white house did reach out to the head of the group that brought the gold star families to the white house. that group then in turn cof ted each and falies thaat that event and i am happy to report that none of the gold star families have either tested positive or displayed any symptoms consistent with coronavirus. >> all right, that is really encouraging news. all right, jon, thanks. we're going to turn now to
the hurricane bearing down on the u.s. a record tenth named storm to strike the u.s. just this season alone. delta gaining strength tonight, back to a cat 3 now, 115-mile-an-hour winds. on track to hit nearly the same spot in louisiana where hurricane laura struck. ginger zee and rob marciano both live from louisiana tonight, and ginger, i know you've got the newest track? >> reporter: i do, and where i'm standing here in louisiana could see up to nine feet of inundation. so, storm surge is going to be a big problem. and i want to take you to that track, which goes just east of cameron. so close to laura's track. up to alexandria, we have the hurricane warnings, but the tropical storm warnings go from new orleans back to galveston. wind-wise, it's 24 hours away, so we're talking about landfall tomorrow night. that's when the winds will be at their heftiest. port arthur, near 60 there. gusts near lake charles up to 80. if you don't have a roof, that is not going to hold up well. it's going to stay windy and tropical storm-like all the way into western mississippi. finally, the surge, 7 to 11 feet, the peak. david? >> our incredible weather team making this trip again.
ginger, i know rob is also down there with you, and rob is in lake charles, louisiana, and we know hurricane laura just devastated that city six weeks ago. we can see the damage right there behind you, rob. we're thinking about those families about to face this all over again. >> reporter: i know, david. the last thing this area needs is another major storm. the recovery since hurricane laura has been painfully slow. so many businesses look like this collapsed tuxedo shop. and every street and every neighborhood has rooftops that are covered in blue tarps or roadways that are lined with piles of debris, neither of which can handle or at all safe in hurricane-force winds. the mayor telling me today there are some buildings across the city that are compromised, so, he's asking residents to get out for their safety, as we expect yet another hurricane to hit this town tomorrow. david? >> that flying debris a real concern. all right, rob, ginger and our crews in both locations, stay safe and we really appreciate it. the news continues and in new york city tonight, there are alarming outbreaks of covid-19. new hot spots that have forced officials now to close hundreds of schools. and across the country tonight,
35 states now reporting a rise this hospitalizations. wisconsin, for one, about to open that field hospital. here's abc's stephanie ramos. >> reporter: tonight, strict new coronavirus lockdowns taking effect in hard-hit neighborhoods in new york city, sparking outrage. hundreds of protesters demonstrating in brooklyn, starting fires, even assaulting a journalist. city and state officials taking urgent action to crush flareups in so-called red zones, shutting down nonessential businesses, limiting capacity at houses of worship to a maximum of ten people and closing more than 300 schools. >> did any of us sign up for perpetual lockdown forever? i think not. >> reporter: tonight, hospitalizations on the rise in 35 states. in wisconsin, the state set to open this 530-bed field hospital next week. >> every region in wisconsin has hospitals reporting current and imminent staffing shortages. >> reporter: in new mexico, the virus infecting six members of
