They are saying irma could be the strongest storm ever to hit south florida. Irma continues to be a threat that is going to devastate the United States. In either florida or some of the southeastern states. Direct impacts of the storm have yet to be determined because its a very powerful storm, but the nature of the curve and that forecast after 72 hours is going to be the key to the key to seeing who has the worst impacts. Get out of storm surge areas. Flooding watters world come up on shore. Thats the most devastating hazard associated with hurricanes appears to be live in miami beach, phil, it looks like youve already gotten some wins there. We do have some breezes which is pretty typical on the beach itself but all day long today as we move forward toward the weekend, the winds are supposed to strengthen. 650,000 residents of Miamidade County currently under a mandatory evacuation, thats the largest evacuation of people out of Miamidade County in history. If this storm is as bad as the forecast is predicting, five to 10 feet, that puts me underwater and at least half of this lifeguard stand under water. Want to see how many people are taking advantage of the Evacuation Order . This is south beach. Friday morning, this place would have tons of people looking all the way around, you can pan the entire beach pier this is on the empty speeches ive ever seen here in south beach. Driving down here from my house 10 miles north today, no traffic on the road, virtually 20 of the normal drive time just to get here. I did actually fill up with gas, which was unbelievable because so many people have already left. South beach itself, super popular tourist place, ghost town. All around the town, people are really taking this seriously, unlike many people have ever seen in previous hurricanes were a lot of people will write it out. This one has people very, very concerned and frightened as well. The airports, last flight out of Miami International airport today is 3 00. Last night, we expect today, absolute crowded, crowded conditions there at the checkin counters, longline sticking around the mazes. Fort lauderdales last flight is this evening, seven 45. Out of tampa tonight, you cant catch a flight on southwest airlines. Hospitals have evacuated not down in the florida keys. There are no longer accepting anybody. Residents there, for days, have been urged to get out and get out now. A friend of mine down in key west, which normally has a lot of people breaking the storm having hurricane parties, not the case this time. They say it is a ghost town down there. As for gas lines, still warm. If you can find a gas station that has gas. I actually found one. The only reason i was able to get my tankful was because so many people in south beach have already hit the road. Gas is only 46 of the gas stations are operating with free will. Thats been a problem for about four days now. Pompano beach, the hurricane chancellors to back shelters, a childrens are currently open. People have not decided to wait until today or tomorrow. Knowing that the shelters are going to fill out. The problem is or the challenge is if you go to a shelter with the dogs of the cats are the kids, you have got to bring everything you are going to need, your entire hurricane kit you got to take with you. That means cases of water, vetting, sheets, pillows, food, everything you will need. Thats a big challenge for everybody. At least shelters are open and all schools are closed. People are really starting to get very concerned as we are now on friday and the forecast is showing south florida, is not a question of if it gets in, everyone knows it is going to get hit and the question is how bad. Julie truly incredible to see all the residents heating the warning, something you dont see in florida because so many people are accustomed to these hurricanes. Phil keating, thank you. Bill from the west wing earlier today, President Trump tweeting this about burma. Hurricane irmas of epic proportion, perhaps bigger than weve ever seen. It is safe to get out of its way. Our credible u. S. Coast guard say that 15,000 miles last week with harvey. Irma could be even tougher. We love our coast guard. Julie all five living former president s banding together to help those affected by the last major storm, Hurricane Harvey. They did a psa that aired during the nfl game last night and announced the creation of a one america appeal, a fundraiser thats going to donate all proceeds to harvey victims. Hurricane harvey brought terrible destruction. It also brought out the best in humanity. As former president s, we want to help our fellow americans begin to recover. Are doing just that. People are hurting down here, but as one texan put it, weve got more love in texas than water. We love you texas. President trump later tweeting, we will confront any challenge, no matter how strong the winds or high the water. Im proud to stand with president s for one america appeal. Where are we and where is irma . I want to bring it down to our National Hurricane specialist. Thank you for your time. I know youre working around the clock. What does irma look like now . Irma is still a very powerful category 4 hurricane and moving right now through the southeastern bahamas. You see the eye on the satellite imagery here. The message today that even though the maximum winds increased a little bit, that doesnt mean the threat has changed, especially for folks here in florida. Irma is a very large store. 150 miles per hour, lifethreatening hazards from winds and storm surge in the florida keys and up to the florida peninsula come through the weekend. Bill we just heard from fema a few moments ago talking about the curve. Explain that to our audience and why thats so critical for the entire state. Right now, most moving west to northwest by this bermuda i hear over the atlantic. That height is eventually going to we can. It will be able to turn northward. Right now we are expecting that turn to occur as it passes cuba and brings it into the florida keys and over the florida peninsulas to go out early sunday into monday. The timing of that term is really important. If you go to allow i can go a little to the left and could go a little to the right. Those category 4 wins and arm as i walk, but its too soon to determine exactly where thats going to go. It could be a little wobble or motion that could happen right up to landfall. Everybody in this hurricane warning area in south florida has to prepare, if they will see the category 4 winds intimate and irma, thats what we have a storm surge warning everywhere you see in south beach here on the southwest coast of florida and southeast florida florida keys. That means were expecting lifethreatening flooding. Bill based on the live pictures weve seen, the evacuations have been good. Thats good news. There, youre terrific. Good luck to you and your entire team. They are working 24 7. We have a huge show coming up today. Next hour, will talk to rick scott on his efforts. He was with us yesterday. Right after the program today, we will head down to florida and cover this massive storm all weekend long. Knowing that hurricanes over the years, you do not know what they do when they interact with the land. You can make all the predictions you want, but we will not know well into sunday or monday or tuesday next week. Julie its not just when they interact with land, this one is unpredictable because they dont know the second wobble to the east or west. It could literally go around the florida peninsula and its direction has a huge impact on all the states. Bill a category 4 storm moving at that speed with that rate of wind speed would be Something Else. To stay with on that. Julie the reaction from President Trump this morning after a much criticized oval office meeting. President trump had House Speaker paul ryan over dinner last night, and fact the day after President Trump advised his own party when he cut a deal with Democratic Leaders on raising the debt ceiling. Martha maccallum last night, he understands why the president wanted to reach across the aisle. Listen. We are getting hit with two hurricanes. We are still dealing with harvey, and we are now just getting it was irma. He wanted to make this a bipartisan moment. Where we were fighting each other about hurricane aid, we just wanted to get it done, get it out of the way so that the aide is flowing to the state that need it right now. Then we can focus things on tha that. Julie the head of the president s departure later today for camp david where he will host his entire cabinet, h. The president s reputation as a dealmaker getting a lot of attention in the wake of his decision. That doesnt mean he has turned his back on congressional republicans. Quite contrary in fact if you listen to white house officials, who described his meeting last night as a dinner with Speaker Paul Ryan and this way ineffectively said this is a working dinner. The white house officials who had a chance to sort of give us a readout of the dinner itself. President trump was speaking to ryan and had a productive working dinner to reveal the fall legislated agenda. The priorities discussed were tax reform, the fiscal year 2018 budget, funding for hurricanes harvey and irma, eight raising the debt ceiling and the continued resolution to keep the government funded. The president looks forward to looking forward on Bipartisan Solutions to improve the lives of all americans. The meeting of course comes with the friction between the president and the speaker all over the lack of progress over this legislated agenda on capitol hill. As we were told this morning, that doesnt mean that it cant or wont Work Together well. Im always surprised at reading the how much everybody hates everybody and back fights and fights. Paul came over and had a nice chat with the president. The president of the United States is going to work with the speaker of the house of representatives, but is also going to work with the folks in the senate with Chuck Schumer. Including Chuck Schumer, the president also tweeting about the need to work in a bipartisan fashion on capitol hill, although hes expressing frustration with the wheels of slow progress here in washington, especially as it relates to the filibuster. For now, back to you. Julie kevin corke, thank you so much. Bill we are awaiting an update from the governor in florida, rick scott, moments from now. Hurricane irma barreling towards florida. We will take that live when it gets underway. There is this from washington. They go ive got zero problem helping people with hurricanes. Ive got a real problem legislating in a fashion that continues to put the military in a box. Bill the Senate Passing a bill to raise the debt ceiling to divide relief to harvey survivors. 17 no votes from republicans, the household of faith deactivate that more. We want another earthquake hitting south of our border, details are of the death and destruction in mexico next. Whoooo. I enjoy the fresher things in life. Fresh towels. Fresh soaps.

Bill once again, we are awaiting a News Conference from rick scott. He will give us the latest happening was irma and about the people in florida and rest of the southeast need to know could stand by for that. In the meantime, Speaker Paul Ryan say he is not upset after the president cut a deal with democrats tying harvey released to a three month extension to the debt ceiling. This is a story that goes on. 17 republican said no. The bill now goes to the house and we can see how much opposition is there from conservatives. Juan williams, ned ryun, gentlemen, good day to both of you. Its like thanksgiving, isnt it . Everyone goes around and grabs what they like. Do you have a problem with how this has developed . No, i really dont actually. What trump is, he asserted himself. Although paul ryan and mitchell, proven so far this year accomplish this year as been to remove all doubt about their legislative confidence. Trump asserting himself, what he really did with this bill was to realign the legislative agenda turn out onto the end of the year. It will get the debt ceiling debate off of the table, you guys are going to focus on tax reform. That is the winning issue if you look at the state level pole and needs a lot of 2018 senate races, this is pulling in the high 60s to mid 70s. By him realigning on tax reform, the other thing he did it was really interesting, by putting it into december, he has said if youre going to try and get this done before the end of the year, lets face it, a lot of these guys are not going to want to vote on raising the debt ceiling in 2018. Bill juan, how do you see it and you agree . It so interesting to me. Im fine with it. Im a democrat. Its interesting to me that democrats are going to have tremendous leverage in december when youre going to have to deal with budget issues. This gives democrats more leverage and insisting on what their priorities are going into that. Republicans, in response to this, they came into the meeting with speaker rank saying no way of giving the democrats that much of an advantage. They wanted an 18 month window that wouldve pushed this back beyond the midterm elections next year. So that they would not be under that kind of pressure from the democrats. Im wondering what im listening to, if there is a sense that the president really is just blaming speaker ryan and Senate Majority leader mcconnell. If hes just making them a pinata for his own failures. Bill theres more bipartisanship on this turkey. Are you ready . The president tweeted this for all is a concern about dhaka, that was from yesterday. Followed up by this comment from nancy pelosi hereafter. They called this morning and said thanks for calling and this is what we need, the people really need a reassurance from you, mr. President , that the sixmonth period is not a period of roundup. I asked the president. Bill i want a drumstick, ned. Whats going on . Here is the fact, bill, going back to what juan said about priorities, i think every president comes into the in administration with his laundry list and then quickly understands reality and goes to the nonnegotiable. With the whole debt ceiling, he was tax reform, he wants health care, and he wants a wall. I hope this whole thing on daca, i wanted to do the right thing. They should never have been decided by executive put it in the constitution, put it back in legislation hands. What i hope it does as he ties before to his wallet and says if you really want wants before i get my wall. This is the art of politics. At some point you have to get that. Bill will watch and see how it goes. Juan, i owe you time next time. Thank you, juan. Julie we will hear from one of the House Republicans opposed to President Trump the deal on the debt ceiling, marsha blackburn, and why she thinks this is the wrong approach. Bill also a dire warning out of korea. Why they believe north korea can fire an icbm tomorrow, thats next. Our military has never been stronger. The best anywhere in the world, by far. Hopefully, we are not going to have to use it on north korea. If we do use it on north korea, it will be a very sad day for north korea. Millions of you are online right now, searching one topic.

Bill as it stands right now, 19 killed from Hurricane Irma, and on a collision course right now with florida. On the microphone and a matter of moments, the governor rick scott will brief us what w. He spent out about every three hours every day this entire week. Governor scott momentarily here life. It will be great if Something Else can be worked out. We would have to look at all of the details, all of the facts. I would prefer not going the route of the military, but its something certainly that could happen. Julie President Trump on the possibility of military intervention for north korea. This as south korea says the north is testing at another missile test, possibly coming tomorrow. Pyongyang marks the anniversary of the founding. Senior Foreign Affairs lie from the south korean capital. Hi, greg. Thats right. Youve got the south koreans caught in the middle on one side listening to President Trump on the other side, watching kim jong un on. And watching a possible missile launch, maybe as early as tomorrow with an icbm. This comes on saturday that the korean time could be a flatter trajectory launch that would put it deeper into the specific, more threatening to the United States.
