FBC Risk And Reward With Deidre Bolton August 24, 2017

If Hurricane Harvey make as landfall as a category 3 hurricane it will be the since wilma in 2005. It already being called a lifethreatening storm. Welcome to risk and rewarded, im liz death mcdonald. Elizabeth macdonald. He made a promise to American Voters and American People trying to follow through. Congress has not moved on the president s again today tax cuts, infrastructure spending, stopping collapse of obamacare now harming americans. Congress potentially head back to the home districts with nothing to show, zero, nothing to show to voters. A firestorm erupted president sending new weights, republicans you promised change for seven years to voters. Now nothing. You got seven years of political donations too. Now the debt ceiling fight a week away. Credit Ratings Company fitch is already threatening a ratings downgrade if congress does not raise the debt limit. Lets get to Hurricane Harvey, gaining strength before projected landfall late tomorrow night in texas or possibly early saturday morning. High wind, storm surges threatening coastal areas threatening possibly louisiana and further east as well. It is threatening u. S. Oil refinery capacity. Look at oil majors, oil dutch shell, anadarko, exxon mobile, they have operations there. They shut them down and evacuating their workers. That could cut their out put. All the stocks are down today get to fox news chief meteorologist Rick Reichmuth with more on the hurricane, rick. Dangerous storm, snuck up on us a little quickly. Not a Long Distance between the yucatan and texas. Yesterday nobody was thinking about a major hurricane across the texas coast. That is exactly what were talking about now. The storm halfway there between yucatan and mexico. Became a category is hurricane. Hurricane warnings from the red, just south of gal van ton area. It goes inland as well. If we have hurricane, maybe 125 mileanhour sustained wind, the wind stay very strong as it moves inland. How far inland it moves will have big impacts for flooding. I will show you that in a second. In the short term, we have really warm waters here. All environmental variables are ripe for continued strengthening. Brings us up to a major hurricane. Major hurricane is 125 up to 130, talking about a cat4 storm that first time in this area in 47 years we have seen a storm like that make landfall. The once it makes landfall, gets towards the coast it gets stuck. Isnt able to move anywhere. High pressure towards the north. Potentially we watch this sit in the area five and six days and rain and rain, bringing flooding conditions. Take a look at this model. That is the center of the storm. Watch friday going in towards saturday, right here around the coastline, go towards sunday, hanging out along the coastline, moving toward the north that is monday. Go in towards tuesday and wednesday we potentially have a storm. This is one model output. Not saying this is going to happen. The point this area will be stuck with a storm somewhere in that area for a number of days. Because of the rainfall total potential is very high. This model output, putting in excess of three feet of rain in some these spots in five to sixday period. Another one of our models we like, well over a foot for everybody. Everything kind of in the same spot. This model pushes it a little farther toward the west. Gets toward austin and san antonio. Maybe towards hill country. Were talking about a major flooding event going on with all the moisture in the air. Unfortunately, liz, when weve seen a lot of flooding last couple years in texas, weve had plenty of it, when we have a line of storms or a storm cell stay over an area a long period of time. This will be a rain situation where a large area is dealing with huge rainfall amounts for a number of days. That means that water cant go anywhere and flooding will be extreme for many, many people. Liz rick, thank you for the update. Were a week from congress returning from august recess. President trumps growth agenda hanging in the balance on capitol hill. Here is the can he, can republicans set aside their differences and deliver a legislative victory for the president and the American People . The president extending a olive branch asking for unity in his latest speech in nevada. Lets take a listen. It is time the to heal the wounds that divide us and seek a new unity based on common values that unite us. We are one people with one home and one great flag. Were not defined by the color of our skin. The figure on our paycheck, or the party of our politics. We are defined by our shared humanity, by our citizenship in this magnificent nation and by the love that fills our hearts. Liz the president then tweeted this to the Top Republican in the senate this morning, he said this on twitter, quote, the only problem i have with Mitch Mcconnell is that after hearing repeal and replace for seven years he failed. That should never have happened. Lets bring in a spokesperson for America First policies, a Nonprofit Organization started by trumps top Campaign Aides look who is here, former Trump Campaign National Spokesperson katrina pierson. Good to see you. Great to see you, liz. Liz the president , Mitch Mcconnell, paul ryans set to meet after the august recess. Heres the thing, the United States is growing more slowly than europe. Europe is now growing faster tan than the United States. The president is saying essentially you are breaking your promise with the American People. What do you say . I agree with the president as you were with the campaign trail. We were living eight years with failed policies and voters have spoken. Republican voters are perplexed that republicans cant seem to govern. It shouldnt be that difficult considering many of policies the president is pushing particularly on the economy are very popular within the Republican Party and leadership needs to move forward accordingly. The president is putting people on notice, identifying where he is as opposed to where the Republican Leadership is. It is very simple, liz, the president is sitting in the oval office with his pen waiting for Republican Leadership to send him bills. Liz do you think voters overall, the entire american electorate get what the trump voter is saying . Million obama voters voted for President Trump. Are americans hearing what he is saying about americas plan for jobs and growth . Are they getting it . Do they understand how serious the situation is . I think the trump voter understands it. I absolutely think they do. I dont think the eight million obama voters voted for President Trump just because. His top issues during the entire campaign were curbing illegal immigration, repealing and replacing obamacare, and having an economy that was going to have americans winning and that is exactly what he has been trying to do and that is exactly why you see a lot of his activity on twitter notifying all of americans that these are the policies that are putting Americans First. He is doing everything in his power to get those policies passed but unfortunately that has to come from congress and it is time for Republican Leadership to get with the program and deliver those promises that they also made to americans. Liz is this politicians putting personal feuds with the president above what is good for the country . Because weve got karl rove, former Senior Advisor to president george w. Bush, he ripped into President Trump in a wall street journal oped today. He criticized trump and his aides for not getting the lay of the d. C. Swampland, quote, grasping the basis of governing, rove is into trumps criticisms of republicans wont help him advance to the agenda. Memo to the white house, the worst way to strengthen the president , publicly blame difficulties on allies. Is it now personal or basically politicians putting their personal feuds before the good of the country . I think it is definitely their personal feuds but it is also the Political Class that lost handedly. They are do, they are actively thwarting the president s agenda. It is not a secret now. Republicans are in charge. So it doesnt make any sense why they cant seem to get things done particularly if the president has been so vocal about them but also the swamp, liz. This is president who came in to drain the swamp, do things he wants to do putting Americans First is going to do some damage to that swamp. There is the revolving door. Is a lot of money in play for special interests that fund a lot of these political campaigns. The president wants to get away from that. That is what we need to do. Take a look back and see exactly why these particular republicans are thwarting this agenda because it really doesnt make any sense why they would, considering the promises they themselves have made to their own voters in their disks. Liz katrina, you talked about this too, how weak Border Security was. We had good men and women trying to do their level best to protect the United States borders but we had all sorts of terrible incidents happen in the United States, catastrophic incident. Weve had victims families come on our show here to talk about how they want what the president is asking for when it comes to Border Security. The president is basically fighting now with republicans. Theyre saying you know what . Well not shut down the u. S. Government as you want mr. President for funding for your border wall. Lets take a listen. I dont think anyones interested in having a shutdown. I dont think it is in our interests to do so while we work on doing what we actually said we would do, what weve done already in the house, we need to do, control our borders. I dont think you have to choose between the two. Liz trump tweeting this about mcconnell and ryan, i requested Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan tie the debt ceiling legislation into the popular va bill for easy approval. They didnt do it. Now we have big deal with Democrats Holding them up as usual on debt ceiling approval. It could be easy. Now it is a mess. Katrina, he is really frustrated right now. He is frustrated as he should be simply because, like i said, these are things that are essentially nobrainers, particularly for voters who elected these individual members of congress. And if that is the case, no one is really interested in getting this border wall down and going far to shut the government down to do so, maybe gop leadership could tell americans what they are interested in doing because it is definitely not fulfilling Campaign Promises and helping the president make America Great again which you mentioned earlier, eight million obama voters voted for as well. David katrina, looks like the border wall, what do you think of chances of that being built . I think the wall is going to get built. Looks like there might be a big fight about it. I think as we get closer to midterms a lot of those congressman will see their voters really want this wall. When we see what just happened in spain, this is definitely something a part of National Security. It is not the 80s anymore. These things have to be taken very seriously because this is not just bill my graduation, this is about National Security and we have to get the border under control. If putting a wall up will help that, and save american lives there shouldnt be any opposition in our party. David liz there is 750 miles of wall in europe. Put that in perspective. What do you think about the president blaming Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan of the debt ceiling mess . When these guys go back to the voters in home districts who will they blame, congress or the president . They will try who knows who they are going to blame but i will say republicans were in leadership when they worked with obama to kick this can down the road once again. Now the president has to deal with it. You know we didnt get in this mess overnight. Well not get out overnight. One thing they will not be able to do blame the president on these issues. This is their job. They need to get it done. So as far as blame goes, people that are in charge are going to take the blame. The president does not write legislation, and he doesnt vote on it. He signs it. I believe Mitch Mcconnell and paul ryan are going to have to figure this out or they will hear about it from folks at home. Liz katrina. We love having you on. Great to be here. Liz the dow ending little changed down 28 points. Retail stocks jumping as earnings not as bad as feared. Take a check of oil, down 2 . Settling 47 a barrel. Hurricane harvey heads into the gulf of mexico. National average gas prices at 2. 35 for a gallon of regular, that is up 16 cents versus year ago. Talk about a dream come true, one lucky woman from massachusetts, mavis von gikc. Won Powerball Prize of 759 million, the second biggest haul in north american history. She is 53 years old and told reporters it was always a pipedream. A chance she had to take. Look at that victory there. President trump delivered three speeches, the media nitpicking criticizing his different tones. Is that fair . Well debate. U. N. Investigating whether north Koreas Kim Jongun tried to give chemical weapons to syria. Retired fourstar general jack keane is next.

Liz United Nations investigating claims that north korea tried to supply the assad regime in syria with chemical weapons. Two shipments intercepted in the last six months. Now syria has been criticized for using the banned nerve agent sarin, and chlorine in chemical attacks. Meantime photos out of north korea appear to show it is working on a new more sophisticated rocket design. Sending a message that north korea has more powerful icbms, Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in the works. Joining me retired fourstar general and Fox News Contributor general jack keane. Of good to see you, general. Good to see you, liz. Liz we still need to be concerned about north korea . North korea is one of the biggest arms dealers in the world. Obviously they make these arms for money obviously and that what is feeding the development of their nuclear icbms. Anything we can do to shut down the arms dealing is something we got to do. Obviously they will not sell it to any of our allies,s that four sure. They do arms deals with their cousins, iranians. And every time there is a nuclear test in north korea, the iranians are present. Iranians are firing icbm and ballistic, not icbms yet, Ballistic Missiles that look similar to iran. Cohort are similar in venezuela and syria. But they are in the Arms Merchant business, im delighted they got caught at it. They havent told us who did that. We can only speculate. Eventually well find out. Possibly the irisraelis, possibly the United States. That is not what is important. The fact is they stopped it. Liz general, you make a good point about venezuela too. Intelligence officials come on the show saying hezbollah is in and out of venezuela. Is it possible, sir, correct me if im wrong, kim jongun looking what happened in libya and ukraine, they gave up their weapons, why should he . He actually believes that. He has seen, from his mind, always been paranoid about the United States. Even more so than his father and grandfather, as one country that can conduct regime change. So when he sees the United States, regardless what our motivations were, in afghanistan, in iraq, in libya, change the regime out, he watches gadhafi give it up, he watches what took place in ukraine as you mentioned, yes, he sees that as troubling to himself. He is actually fairly rational in the development of his strategy. His strategy simply is he doesnt agree with his grandfather and father having Nuclear Weapons pointed at south korea was sufficient. What he really wants is to put the American People at risk and therefore, they will never be a regime change. The American People are at risk by Chinas Nuclear icbms and russias nuclear icbms.
