They need a strong u. S. To deter the ccp. Bill it will remain a big story regardless. Aishah hosni, good work in the interview live in d. C. Now its been one week since helene made landfall as a cat four hurricane leaving a trail of damage and devastation. In town after town after hardhit town where folks have lost just about everything, leaving them with no food, no water, no power, no shelter and now wondering whether or not the rest of the country has forgotten about them. Dana has this friday off. Im Bill Hemmer live in new York City as we roll into our number two. Sandra weve been in afghanistan and know how to do it. They need more resources. It wiped entire towns away. Weve seen the video still coming into us as the biden White House is facing harsh questions as the victims of helene are left to fend for themselves. Hundreds dead, hundreds more still missing at this hour. And now private volunteers are stepping in. Mobileizing Ad Hoc Rescue Operations to help stranded victims in the hardesthit areas as the search for survivors grows more dire by the day. Bill fema is starting to show up in some areas. For too many desperation is growing and hope is fading that help will arrive before it is too late. Its too late. I mean, they took too long. They it took them five days to get here. It is disgraceful. They keep saying we the people. There is no we the people. Its them versus us. Sandra Fox Team Coverage for you now. Bryan llenas covering the Trump Campaign in fayetteville, North Carolina. Lets go to Madison Scar Pino with a look at what is left in North Carolina. What are you seeing on the ground there . Hello, sandra. As of this morning the Death Toll from helene stands at 222 people. Unfortunately we do expect that number to rise according to multiple agencies on the ground. The most of those deaths here in North Carolina. A look around at what were seeing. Some of the buildings in this town, one of the hardesthit areas are completely leveled. You look at what used to be a Mobile Home and see personal items like this walker and someones living room couch. You can only hope they were not inside of there when the worst of this flooding hit. Its just going to be a long road of recovery for people. While some of these roads are begin to open. Cell service restored for some. A lot of people dont have power, water. People in this town are telling us horrific stories of clinging onto trees during the flooding. People sitting on rooftops screaming and people telling us they lost some friends. When it comes to that federal aid, a lot of people tell us they havent heard from fema. We talked to one person who tells us they knocked on her Door Yesterday and she did apply for some federal relief but it just doesnt seem to be enough for some people here right now. They are really relying on neighbors helping people. People sharing Chain Sauce doing everything they can to help up with cleanup. With spoke to one man who went with his friend named Rob On Kayaks to help save people. Rob to me, the biggest hero. A diabetic and took his pump off and barefoot tipped over and a baby was in the water and he got the baby on the roof and somehow held onto my kayak and then i had to take that baby and it was all shivering so bad. I felt so bad for it. Got it to the shore. Where we are right here in this city this morning has been a ghost town. When it comes to the cars on the roads, the majority of those cars are relief groups. Weve seen american red cross, volunteers driving down with some Food And Water in their trucks. We even saw customs and border patrol. Well be out here all day long talking to folks and getting their stories. Well be sure to keep you guys updated. Sandra thank you. We have to keep telling their stories. They are in the fight for their lives so many of them. Bill former President Trump will head to hardhit state of North Carolina later tonight and hold a Town Hall in fayetteville, North Carolina. Bryan llenas is there getting us a preview before later today. Good morning. Bill, good morning. Former President Trump will host a Town Hall here in fayetteville, North Carolina at 7 00 p. M. Tonight. A 4hour Drive from where madison was just reporting and from the epicenter really of where Hurricane Helene landed and caused incredible devastation here where roughly half of the deaths from this storm are here in North Carolina. After dhs said that fema does not have enough money to get through this Hurricane Season at a rally in michigan yesterday, trump blamed the Bidenharris Administration for spending A Billion dollars of Fema Money on Housing And Caring for migrants over the last two years. The Trump Campaign has also been highlighting the perceived unfairness that Storm Victims are initially getting just a onetime 750 payment from fema while illegal immigrants have been housed in luxury hotels. What theyre doing a very bad job. Given over A Billion dollars to illegal migrants that came in and they have no money for North Carolina, georgia, for south carolina, and alabama, tennessee and florida. I think thats a disgrace, frankly. It is the worstrun this is a country that is being run by fools. But dhs says no Disaster Response Money has been diverted to migrants. These claims are completely false. The shelter and Services Program is a completely separate appropriated Grant Program that was authorized and funded by congress and is not associated in any way with Femas Disaster related authorities or funding streams. So far 20 Million has been provided to hurricane survivors. This is trumps fourth visit to North Carolina in the last month. The latest polls show a tightening race. Trump with just a two Point Lead here. Trump is traveling to Georgia First Today appearing at an Emergency Management Briefing alongside governor Brian Kemp marking their first appearance together since 2020. Theyve had a rocky relationship to say the least and kemp has praised the biden Administrations Response so far to the hurricane aftermath. We expect, bill, a lot of questions on the hurricane response, Femas Response here today as well as on the military. This is a very strong, large Military Community here in fayetteville. Bill thanks in butler, p. A. Back to butler on saturday. Sandra this headline from politico catching some attention. Walz says he speaks like everybody else and its not working for the campaign. Fox news Sunday Anchor Shannon Bream joins us now. Hello, shannon, good morning. Shannon good to see you. Sandra i suppose this is catching some attention. Shannon i think everybody else would like a word because they dont regularly say things that are not true, most people. And weve layered a number of explanations from the governor about this. He says he is passionate and gets carried away and has incorrect grammar. Called himself a knucklehead. He says things that are, number one, easily verifiable people can check dates, times, service records and all kinds of things. It makes you wonder why there are some things he lied about that dont seem consequential why say things that arent true . This was a super quick vetting process, this idea of the Vice President , you know, vaulting to the top of the ticket and making a decision about her number two. Sounds there is consternation that some of these things werent caught during that vetting process. Bill you are right. Interesting that interesting . You wonder who is pulling the string Behind The Scenes and pressuring Joe Biden. Barack obama will campaign through the month of october to give her an assist. In the political piece that was mentioned key members of Harriss Circle were not aware of some of the inaccurate statements until they become public despite the vetting process. It is not just china, right . The football story, the story going back to the dui and whether or not we were straight on that or not. And i dont know, as a politician you keep on living on these stories until they catch up with you and frankly the comment, his answer the other night was it was less than adequate. Halfway through a debate when you call yourself a knucklehead you have pretty much lost. When you start with explaining how you were wrong being in a certain place in time and i grew up in nebraska and came from a small community. Where is the answer going . The things he said about his service record, carrying a weapon of war in combat. About using idf, which is very different than some of the lesser Fertility Methods out there that dont involve creating embryos. Thats what creates the big ethical conversation. There is a lot of stuff. Bill i forgot about the ivf story. Sandra the point should be made whether he wants to say that these were he was misrepresenting the truth or whether people think he was misleading or lying, it is the lack of preparation to explain it, which he was caught on the debate stage. Remember this cringeworthy moment. Governor, just to follow up on that, the question was can you explain the discrepancy. I got there that Summer And Misspoke on this. I will just thats what ive said. So i was in Hong Kong and china during the democracy protests and from that i learned a lot of what needed to be in governance. Sandra everyone watching turned and stared at the scene in that Moment And Wont forget it. Shannon it was awkward and not what you want out there. These debates, normally Vice President ial debates dont matter that much. We have such a limited Debate Schedule and these races are so tight within the margin of error any moment you have that Isnt Good has the potential to go viral and end up in an ad and why others in the campaign are a little frustrated with his performance. Bill whats coming up on sunday . Are you still working on that . We have it lined up. Well have Jake Sullivan to talk with us about what is happening in the middle east. Speaker johnson with us, too, if they will call back congress for more funding for helene and israel. Senators ernst and fetterman will be with us. They agree on israel but not a lot else. Well talk with them. Bill Jd Vance set to advance the Border Crisis Campaigning in georgia today. A Bombshell Report from the house finds 1. 7 million illegal migrants posing a national security threat. Have been encountered at the border since the Bidenharris Administration took over. Griff jenkins in d. C. That sounds like a big number. Whats that about . It is a big number from the house judiciary committee. The report warns that the Terror Threat is growing under this administration. Take a look at the numbers. The committee says cbp encountered 1. 7 million special interest aliens from 26 different countries including iran, iraq, afghanistan, libya, syria, all ties to significant terrorism. In the report, they highlighted, bill, the case of afghan national who was twice released by this administration despite being a match to the Terror Watch List coming after Dhs Inspector says cbp, Ice And Tsa have been releasing migrants into the country without i. D. S and letting them board planes to fly domestically. Former President Trump weighed in on that yesterday. You dont have to know too much there is a risk with that like nobody has ever seen before. They have no idea who these people are, where they come from, where they are going. They release them in. There is no country in the world that would allow this to happen. Dhs, which has clashed with the Inspector General in the past, says in the report it contains inaccurate statements, lacks important context and is misleading adding every individual processed by the department of Homeland Security at the border goes through rigorous public safety vetting. We wait to see in a few hours what Jd Vance has to say about the border. He is heading to lakin rileys home in about three hours. Bill Griff Jenkins in washington, d. C. Thanks. The water was up over the gutters on the roofs and spam were screaming from the rooftops. Some people in their attics and fingers sticking out through the attic vents and screaming. Bill they were rescued. Harrowing stories of Tragedy And Survival emerging in the aftermath of helene. People have to resurrect their destroyed communities.

Crews continuing to search for victims. North carolina bearing the brunt of the damage. Were reporting on the ground where folks are still trying to pick up the pieces. What are you seeing . They are, sandra. Samaritans purse just showed up here. They spent the last couple of days digging out this property of all of the debris from the Cove Creek that rose a near 25 feet. Devastating this entire community, a small town. Thats what weve been trying to do. Highlight the small communities in western North Carolina. They have been devastated. Many here growing frustrated with the slow response from state and federal officials. Resources havent been trickling in at the magnitude in which they need to be. It has been an operation of neighbors helping neighbors. Some telling me its the only way they have survived using Chain Saws to cut themselves out after being trapped for days. I know that the national guard are still doing search and rescue. They have done 146 missions so far. Over 500 have been brought to safety. We saw that yesterday in nearby burnsville when the national guard came down and did rescues in Avery County as well. The Connecticut National Guard has stepped up and is also aiding in bringing the elderly and pets to a safe place. The thing is here, though, that there are many people who have been trapped for days now and access is still difficult to get up to those areas. Thats why Samaritans Purse, red cross, many of these Disaster Relief organizations are trying their best to get out to these areas that desperately need the help. I spoke just a couple of minutes ago with a pastor from roanoke, virginia who joined Samaritans Purse and telling me of a man trapped underneath his home for ten hours as they tried to dig him out.
