On the west coast including naples of a 10 to 15 foot storm surge coming and coming soon. in some ways theres not much were you do to prepare for that except get the people out beforehand. what can they expect to see and then once those waters do recede what will the response be? >> absolutely. number one, they need to take their grid down. if youre going to have surge waters like that. otherwise, youre going to have an affair going with houses starting to catch fire. so its imperative to take d...

Water that could be associated with power lines on it. so its imperative, again, we learn from sandy, we learn from harvey, take that grid down when you get the hurricane winds. otherwise you have fires. >> reporter: yes. and then power out for some time. russell honore, general, thank you so much for being with us. we appreciate your insight here as we continue to work through what you call a first quarter of a disaster like this. the quarter that mother nature usually wins. we come in in the s...

Maybe its not mandatory to evacuate, but he made the point that we cannot come back and save you. it is imperative that everyone gets out. all my family is in florida, we talked about escorting in those tankers that are bringing in gasoline. hes really on top of the situation. >> sandra: he said personnel will be of equity tomorrow -- activated tomorrow, sorry. we cannot rescue people in the middle of the storm. >> harris: i think were getting a wrap, so were going to go. well come back. >> sand...

The federal government had to send the u.s. army down there. >> with all due respect, tucker, in 1989 when hurricane hugo went through the virgin islands, 98% of the homes and buildings on the island of st. croix lost their homes. there was never any experience of hurricanes in the u.s. virgin islands prior to that time up until 1929. police officers and law enforcement people were scrambling in terms of what they were going to do in terms of sheltering the family and all of that rain. there was...

Tying the debt ceiling to something that many lawmakers if not all lawmakers feel is an important imperative like relief for the hurricanes is something weve seen in other configurations because theres so many conservatives who dont want to vote for whats known as a clean debt ceiling, not taking away any spending in order to allow the government to borrow more. so by tying it to something that is sort of must pass, thats often a vehicle that gets it across the finish line. but this only buys ti...

These -- the d.r.e.a.m.ers that i have met with, these young individuals, that its imperative that all of us are prepared for situations and prepared for what might come. here, the government has said, here are the time frames, here are the renewal process, take care of business and -- but lets also put the pressure back on congress to take care of business. so, these individuals, i encourage them to be prepared but not to be panicked because again, we have a responsible plan in place from this ...

Marginalized both on the debt ceiling because you have the white house saying, look, we need to attach this to the harvey relief. freedom caucus, step aside. if the same thing happens with a daca compromise, where r republicans are forced out of the moral imperative of getting something done to work with democrats, again by definition, that faction that has been so disruptive to our politics will get marginalized and maybe, just maybe, well get something done. >> heidi przybyla channeling jim ca...

It today. >> well, this love is abusive. hes literally playing into the hands and into the mental state of 800,000 young people who thought they had done right by the law by coming forward and tried to play by the rules the u.s. government set forth for them. this is if anything, a bit cynical for him to be talking about the fact that he loves them, when, in fact, hes wreaking havoc on him. the tweet he sent out minutes before the show saying he will revisit it if congress doesnt act. thats unfa...

The tweet he sent out minutes before the show saying he will revisit it if congress doesnt act. thats unfair. we need clarity on what should be done next. the d.r.e.a.m.ers i know are standing up. we need the american people saying this is not who we are. >> franco, when congress has an arbitrarily arrived at deadline like the president saying ill give you six months, the first thing you can expect of the deadline is that it will be moved. that is the most likely thing to happen to a deadline th...
