Donald trump has just wrapped up an event in Adventist Georgia with Governor Brian Kemp. That State Hardhit by The Fallout from Hurricane Helene and recovery now that is expected to cost upwards of 35 Billion. And its already left more than 220 americans dead. We are also following up if you can look at the corner of your screen on the dow today, Big Run Up because jobs were aplenty in the latest period. Were going to be exploring how the big Jobs Issue not only helps people of the corner had a lot of people thinking that the economy has achieved a soft landing, and this is leading to made a big campaign issue. Perhaps bigger than me know. It could cut a couple of different ways. Some people are arguing didnt feel it dont see it hexo doesnt matter if we keep showing but this Jobs Report that showed 254,000 americans found jobs was close to double what we thought would appeal, would appear today. And that is a big reason why youre getting all of this attention to the economy on this day, with the backdrop of all of these worries. Lets get the latest from Lucas Tomlinson and evans, georgia, with Donald Trump of minutes ago. What can you tell us my friend . Former president Donald Trump just finished Mccance Augustine Georgia joined with Georgia Governor brian kemp. The first time these 2 have been together in nearly 4 years. Former President Trump said the government is doing a great job. He said that of course is the worst storm that this country has seen since katrina. Georgia Governor Brian Kemp said 33 people have been killed been killed. Local sonogram so this is an apocalyptic situation. A lot of damage. The president thanked the governor for his hardworking Thank Elon Musk for providing other starlink terminals and the president had a Story Saying Monies on the phone with elon he was already getting congratulations from people about starlink and said he works pretty fast. Of course the president is often of Caroline Right after this but the significance heres former President Trump coming to georgia for the second time. Georgia a key state if the former president is going to be returning to the White House, his second trip. To georgia in just the past few days. Had a chance to ask former president a few questions. Asked him if the White House was slow to respond. The president said yes. He took fema to task for not providing more money for people. I asked him if he is worried about voters being disenfranchised this election socially those that have been in the harvested areas, will they be able to get the votes . The former president said hes not worried about voters right now. He came here to address the people and tell the Georgia Governor hes doing a great job. He met members of the Georgia National Guard and first responders before he spoke and thats the situation here outside agusta. Its also notable that Augusta National chairman frederick the donated 5 Million to the community here. Of course Augusta National home to the masters. Martha thank you very much for all of that. Lucas tomlinson. Want to go to madison in North Carolina. Hoping pronouncing it correctly. Medicine, that was the hardest and remains a hardest hit state, the Half Dozen that were installed a lot of folks without power and a lot of people we have not heard from period. Thats right. North carolina as you said has a most of the 225 deaths confirmed but unfortunately officials do expect that number to go way up because of all those people still missing. But hearing Swarna Noah, its pretty much destruction on every corner that you look. Were on the side of Someones House right now. You can see cars just completely destroyed. If you look to the side over here you can see a deck flipped up outside. Just tons of personal items here , and when it comes to the federal assistance which has been talked about a lot, when you speak with people in Swarna Noah some of say they havent seen or heard from fema but other people will tell us they are he got the knock on the door from the feds and they applied for that assistance, but right now people are not relying on it. We are hearing so many incredible stories of neighbours helping Each Other out and that includes A Man Named John who went out with another man named Pat On Kayaks into the flooding to try to rescue people. Listen. It was chaos. Buildings were floating by crashing into the backside of these houses. Everybody was down there helping us at the people out of the water and sheltering them, giving them blankets. I dont think anyone around here has any spare blankets or jackets anymore because they are all out of the water and on rooftops and stuff. But it was intense. And i wanted to show you this image. Were still on the side of Someones House and in the mod you can see so many personal items like i said, like this travel notebook. We read through it and it was just a girl talking about her travels. She went to spain and mexico, so its items like those that people may never get back, but again that is just not peoples top priority right now. The number 1 concern is still clean water, and of course in Mountain Communities like this a lot of people have wells but they are being advised not to new use any well water because of the contamination. Martha thank you very much. Great reporting on this. Want to go to the canada North Carolina mayor has been very, very busy. Mayor thank you very much. What can you tell us how things look by you . We are making progress. Here in our city limits we restored the majority of Power And Water to our citizens. With his west North Carolina community. This has been apocalyptic for us in our town but this is spread across the region. Everyplace no matter your hometown, your community, you have been affected by this. Not just now but going forward. We have to advocate and no matter where you call home, you get the resources and the respect you deserve because when you call these mountains on the understand our much larger Family And Effort from so many people across the u. S. So many great memories here in west North Carolina but we have to be here for our community. We are still doing Search And Rescue across the mountains slowly putting 1 foot in front of the other. Martha we are told a number of people are still without power, roughly A Million but thats a lot of people who can be reached. Furthermore a lot of people who cant reach help. So how do you handle it . That was the biggest issue in the beginning of the storm. We lost cell power. We had absolute Network Collapse across. That has gotten better. I commend all the workers out there putting telecommunications together. Starlink played an important role in doing this. But again its a question i will ask once we catch our breath, why this happened, this was across the entire mountain region, and we know there there is meant to be disaster in our country, and i pray no town like canton has been to have to go through oral region the inability notches communicate with Emergency Medications but Loved Ones being able to place Phone Calls days later and still not know. Youre afraid of what you dont know, and every citizen no matter who you are, where you live depends on Cell Phone can occasion to say, hey, mom are you okay. Speaker08 youre quite right and it was a week ago that the Storm Hit Land in florida as category 4 storm. Very few would have envisioned that it could do the damage its done in your state, and it stands out in your state, so maybe we have to rethink how we judge the severity of some of the storms and hurricanes. We usually write them by what their category is, category 4 but it turns out that this storm much like we saw in New Jersey, with big storms that just walloped the state, they are not even registered as hurricanes. They were just worried as giant masses of Wind And Flooding that caused and wreaked havoc it has in your state. What you think of that and how 30s in washington they have to reassess how they deal with that. s. No place knows better than canton. 3 years ago experience Tropical Storm Fred and we are told this was a onceinalifetime storm. So when youre told that you make decisions on that, thats a different mindset. Here we are 3 years later and absolutely were storm them if had just 3 years ago. Im going to the same businesses my sister lost her home 3 years ago. Shes lost it again. I had an expectation 3 years ago , hey, this is onceinalifetime. Lets go forward in the back open. Nongone the same businesses. The small businesses the make of such an important part of North Carolina. Saying look if you want to open will support you 100 , and i hope you do, but if youve had enough and just 3 years ago, i understand that. We have to realize the game has changed, that a mayor and a town thats roughly 3,000 feet above Sea Level has to monitor tropical forecast as it is 3 speaks volumes. So it requires making decisions in The World we live in not The World we wish, and seems mountains in North Carolina are now directly hurricane alley. You are absently. And did remind me of the Superstorm Sandy New Jersey because that was not even a hurricane. But of course between just the heavy rains and Storm Surges that were experience on the fact that hung around salon it did the damage it did and when i look at where you are in the Southwest Corner of North Carolina, you are a long way from the shore. So people have to hear Point Reassess what is risky and damage because the whole area around you needs a whole lot of cleaning up. Absolutely. And i know that were up to the task. Right now again we are seeing the best of North Carolina democrats recover can small Town Search cities coming together, and i think The World we live in now people need to see that theres so much goodness much Prayer Grit and grace not just in canton but the entire west North Carolina is met with love across the country, it again at the same time we are combating this misinformation out there. Theres so many rumours and innuendo we are time to concentrate people on volunteers, where it can get help, help from the feds to say we just got to focus on and not get distracted. This is not a sprint. This is a Marathon And Weve got to make sure people know about west North Carolina and what weve experienced, notches weeks and months but years to come these people deserve. You are right about all of that. Thank you very much. My best for you and your constituents and everyone in North Carolina. Donald trump in the meantime was in evans, georgia, today. Also looking at the damage there, substantial damage at that. With governor brian company managed to take some questions from reporters while he was there. Take a peek. What is your relationship like now . It is great. We worked together. We have always worked together very well. Really well. Of course they are. Its been a terrible response from the White House. They are missing A Billion dollars that was used for another purpose, and nobody has seen anything like that. From that standpoint its been [inaudible question by the media] im not thinking about voters right now. Im thinking about lives. To be honest its much bigger than anything else but we are thinking about lives. Lot of lives lost and a lot of people missing. Thats what i would be focused [inaudible question by the media] [simultaneous talking] you talk about the economy a lot. Its not. Inflation is devastating our economy. Its 1 of the big problems we have. And on jobs we have the illegals have taken more jobs than anybody else. You have the illegals coming in and they are taking the jobs. And when you look at the numbers from that standpoint its a shame. We have to get the jobs for the people that have lived here for a long time that our great, great citizens of our country. But when you look at the job numbers they just came out and look at whos getting the jobs, and its been very unfortunate from that standpoint. You have the legal, you have the migrants, youre reading about it. A lot of the money that was supposed to go to georgia and supposed to go to North Carolina and all of the others is going and has gone already, its been gone for people that came into the country illegally, and nobody has ever seen anything like that. [inaudible question by the media] he doesnt know if it will be peaceful. Do you agree. I dont know anything about what he said. Around the can hope that its come to be free and fair, and i think agnes it will be and i hope every state it will be. I think well do very well but right now we are focused on this. Minott focused on the election. You think you could win georgia or do you think i won it easily in 2016. We are very close last time. And right now the recent poll came up we are up 7 so i think we are pretty far up. And we seem to be going up. And she seems to be going down. So i hope we are going to keep it that way. Ladies and gentlemen thank you very much. I appreciated. Thank you. I dont know what polling is referring where he says hes up 7 points. 1 of a reference want to refer when he was talking about more illegals are coming for these jobs and anyone else, i dont know hes getting that. And the latest implement report out today, 254,000 jobs were gained says nothing about illegals getting those jobs nor would it. The fact of the matter is both private payrolls and across virtually all sectors said barely any movement at all manufacturing. The Job Gains were double or thought. Furthermore the numbers for august and july were revised upwards, 55,017,000 respectively. People can quibble with that data as they often do, and the big revision that the government had in showing that 818,000 fewer jobs over the last year then earlier were reported. The Labor Department came out with that as it does every year and revised figures when they take every thing account. And even with that millions of more jobs gained. I only stress that because the jobs are what the jobs are. Some a revised, and indeed on a monthly basis they can be updated. But these grew and there was no annotation of any of these disproportionately going to illegals. That will be a tricky feet to pull off. Just want to say that. Little more after this. People who care and inspire Each Other to do things the way they should be done. This way uses technology and goes the extra mile to deliver your promises ontime, every time. This way is why were the number one national Ltl Carrier for quality. For us, this way is the right way which is why its the only way we go. Im gonna hold you forever. Ill be there. You dont. You dont have to worry. Mom wheres my homework . Mommy hey hun sometimes, you just need a moment. Selfcare has never been this easy. Gummy vitamins from nature made, the 1 pharmacist recommended Vitamin And Supplement brand. [narrator] life with Ear Ringing sounded like a constant Train Whistle i couldnt escape. Then i started taking lipo flavonoid. With 60 years of clinical experience, its the number one doctor recommended brand for Ear Ringing. And now im finally free. Take back control with lipo flavonoid. I always like to say we are about balls and strikes in showing the numbers where they are. Payroll out today showed 254,000 americans found jobs last month. Donald trump saying many of them , more of them are going to illegals not anyone else. Leave now decide it is not unusual for the Opposition Party in this case to seize on what was a strong report like this and say its either made up or bad and problems with it. That is not unusual. It is not unusual as well to have the party in power and thats why you saw Joe Biden Step up to the podium at the white House Today and actually take questions, to a little bit of bragging about this Jobs Report in the context of settling a threeday long Port Workers strike now that theres a lot of issues with that, has yet to be resolved. But the trendy administration says is its friend Donald Trump republicans will say as the Opposition Party would, that its not really as good as it seems. My job is simply to look into data and tell you that was a damn good employment report. Bottom line and of story no debate. But again it could be seen in context of could it be better. Heinz Nichols Access reporter, very good 1 at that, what did you think first of all of how Joe Biden addressed that and how Donald Trump addressed that . For biden it was a Victory Lap which is pretty easy to do because as you mentioned, i wont swear but we can safely say this is a very good Jobs Report. Joe biden did a Victory Lap. Every time they get a good report, good economic numbers inside the White House they go straight to the cameras. They dont go straight because you have to wait an hour after this market moving news before you can actually speak to the cameras will make any public pronouncements. It will not surprise you that sometimes Donald Trump would tweet inside of that our window but no 1 was coming after him for that. And this has really been the challenge of the Joe Biden campaign, the administration, White House Harris Campaign is convincing the voters convincing consumers the economy is much better than they think it is. That dynamic might not change with another good number. Trump downplayed it, and i heard you talk about this earlier but im unaware of anything in the bls data that gives you anything on whether or not you are nativeborn american immigrant, recent travel. Theres nothing in the data. Theres a big debate on how many immigrants are getting jobs here but thats not in this data. Youve got to wait for census data for that. Youve got with further household surveys, the Federal Reserve is studying this. Its a big open question. Trump is within his rights to sort of bring it up, but you and i and no 1 in the White House can actually tell us how many people that are working in this economy are here without previous official work authorization. Yeah, thats the on the point im trying to say, first of all to say that whatever Job Gains we have are owed to illegals getting the jobs. That is preposterous. But these numbers vary widely and of course it was the Labor Department itself that sort of reset things a couple of months ago as its obligated to do every year when they come up with new numbers, that did show 818,000 f
