It's Thursday September 7th, this is a Fox News Alert hurricane Irma already deadly blasting
Puerto Rico after crashing into the Caribbean
brand-new evacuation orders now in place as the state of Florida braces for impact
I'm asking all Americans
Republican Democrat and independent to join with me with each other
In bipartisan breakthrough president Trump pushing his tax reform agenda with the support of a Democrat
after striking a deal with two very unlikely lawmakers
You have all your warriors or in soldiers who are out there fighting and you can't fly it. It just doesn't seem right?
An interesting story here flags under fire the students who stood up for the Stars and Stripes
Fox and Friends first starts right now
Well you're watching boxers first on this Thursday morning, I'm Heather Childers Rob
Good morning to you and straight to a Fox News Alert
And we're talking about hurricane Irma this morning as you might expect the most powerful Atlantic hurricane in history
And it is in full speed right now
Heading straight for the Kirk's Turks and Caicos and also the Bahamas. Yeah, this after hammering the Caribbean, Puerto Rico also leaving
Unprecedented damage claiming at least eight lives so far that's right the monster storms. Eye
now staring directly at Florida
Forcing brand-new evacuation orders this morning and our senior meteorologist Janice Dean is here tracking this very impressive storm
Some of the pictures coming out of st.
Martin this morning are devastating and this is a category 5 still also want to make mention
We have Jose and another hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico both right now not going to affect the u.s.
So it is Irma hürmüz game right now moving very close to Hispaniola right now
Sparing the worst of the winds and the rain for Puerto Rico
But they still certainly got battered by at least tropical storm force winds some storm surge certainly and some heavy rainfall
Here's your future radar, so there's Puerto Rico. There's Dominican Republic heading into the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas as a
category 5 storm very concerned off for these low-lying islands
And then you know if it comes closer to Cuba that would be a better news story because it might
weaken the storm a little bit because right now all it's got ahead of it is very warm water and
Not a lot of land to tear it up, so here is the latest track as of 5:00 a.m.
Still remaining a category 5 storm as it moves through the Bahamas tomorrow through Saturday now
it is forecast to take a sharp curve and
That's when things get tricky the Florida area South
Florida Bahamas now the southeast needs to be on alert for the possibility of a hurricane
Knocking on your door so here the computer models very good agreement in the next 24 to 48 hours
And then what watch what happens when it gets close to South, Florida
A big wide spread and that's why we're concerned. There is the possibility that this storm stays offshore
Still continues to batter the whole state of Florida, but then now perhaps a landfall across
Georgia or the Carolinas and this is into Tuesday so again one of the computer models still a very strong
Category 5 storm this one coming very close to the keys and South, Florida and then scraping along the east coast of Florida
battering this area and
Then we watch the southeast so this is obviously a very dangerous storm the thing I want to make mention is this one is very
Hard to forecast especially when it makes that hard, right?
So that's why I want
everyone to be prepared all along the East Coast and the Gulf Coast needs to be prepared as
Well this one not a lot of certainty in the next 48 hours back to you. Yeah, it's a beast a glancing blow would certainly
Be much nicer than a directed at this point. That's some good news. Is that sharp yeah, all right, Janice
Thanks the same path Matthew took. Yeah. Yep
All right a little bit sick this morning as you can you can probably hear as hurricane Irma?
batters the Caribbean, Florida now ramping up evacuations
It's now a race against the clock for millions in the deadly storms past jillian is joining us from Miami Beach
Where thousands have just been ordered to leave good morning Gillian?
That's right. Good morning Heather, and Rob good morning to you at home. People are definitely taking this warning seriously
I will tell you here in Miami Beach
We are under a mandatory evacuation zone in this area
But just take a look right now people are already sitting out here their cars are parked their cars are off
They are sitting in line attempting to get gas when we came into town yesterday
The lines for gas were just unbelievable
And by the way that line you're looking at live right now that wraps around the corner around the block
As we come into here
This is one of the few gas stations that we actually open at this hour
And I thought okay that must mean because they have gas here, but guess what they don't right now
But they are being told that gas is coming. This is a limit
For how long since 2:30 this morning
So about like two and a half hours now
We've been here waiting did anyone tell you you need to go wait in line
Why did you decide there in the middle of the night?
Well, we came last night, and they told us the gas was gonna be here around 3:00
So we came a little earlier trying to get a good spot, and you know so we wouldn't wait in the line
But we're still waiting so so and you guys are going to evacuate right we're gonna go to Dania Beach
When are you planning to do that because I understand you start to go to work?
She have you ever good work idleness. Yes. They say I still have to work
Maybe not a whole day, but we still gotta go set up computers. Take everything away from the windows yep
You guys have never lived through a hurricane here correct. No first time. Are you scared very?
Yeah, I am so why did you guys decide to leave?
Well, we just moved to our house here, which is two blocks down
But we have nothing in our house at all so
No water no food nothing yet because we just we just got there like two weeks ago
Oh my god
Less, so we're gonna go stay at a my boyfriend's house, and he was gonna comfort us
And I guess help us out through our first hurricane. How long will you wait here for gasps? I want to Little Rock
I guess we've already waited so long might as well. Just wait a little longer or longer. I wish you guys the best
Thank you so much for talking to us this morning, and we're gonna be last trucks to pull in in the meantime
Governor Rick Scott says everybody needs to be prepared
We've got to make sure everybody in our state looks watches this hurricane. You can go up the East Coast
It could go up the west coast Eve up the middle of our state
It's a big storm, and we've got to be prepared. We're working hard talked with President trumpet vice president pence both today
They said all the resources the program will be available to help us
We're taking that we're looking at this and taking them very aggressive actions
So as you can see people taking this seriously they are heeding the warnings
They are attempting to get gas and get out of here
We're actually being kicked out of our hotel as of tomorrow morning
So we still have to figure out where to go
And it looks like a lot of people in the same situation trying to get out early send it back to you guys yeah
You're out on the island. It's very vulnerable there all right Gillian. Thanks so much
Oh, there's people from the Florida Keys coming up as well evacuating all right exactly. Yeah, well bracing for the storm
To see eight ships filled with supplies will be on hand for relief operations in the aftermath of Hurricane Emma
2 of those crews were originally supposed to go to Texas to help the Harvey victims
But now those ships along with hundreds of Marines are being reassigned
Right now the house approving a multi billion dollar aid package for hurricane Harvey relief
after the president struck a deal with the Democrats
Yeah, the money desperately needed as texans grappled to repair their homes and also the state's economy after that monster storm
Brian Ennis is live in Houston this morning with details on that. Hey Brian
Hey, good morning
Rob and Heather look at this behind me is a neighborhood that is still inaccessible because of flooding at one point actually the water
So high it completely submerged the cars behind me look this flooding was not actually caused by the storm
It was in fact intentional the houston mayor forced to release to release water from local reservoirs
Because they were on the verge of breaking and as a result there are hundreds of people who are now in need of
Temporary shelter and housing assistance from FEMA and as for FEMA where they've been dishing out cash at a record pace
So so quick in fact that they were at risk of literally running out of cash this weekend
Which is why they desperately needed Congress to act and luckily they did yesterday president Trump striking a deal with Democratic leaders?
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi to raise the federal debt ceiling fund the government for the next three months and provide eight
billion dollars in emergency dollars to help in the recovery effort
Here Texas Governor Abbott is thankful
We greatly appreciate and I've already publicly applauded what Congress today as they articulate it?
We've been working very collaboratively with both the Trump administration as well as members of Congress and this we all understand
We're all in this together. We're all on one team here of responding United as a nation
Meanwhile the crews are working sunup to sunset cleaning up debris off the streets
It's a heartbreaking moment for many like Naomi James. Who watched as workers literally threw out all of her possessions
everything clothes furniture of my piano
everything
Shoes everything I lost it on
And I'm a musician it's horrible, but I trust Glock. I know it's gonna be okay
Start over it's gonna be good. I trust him completely
And I'm not worried
Major highways are open the streets are dry in most places school ready to start on Monday a recovery well
Underway Rob Heather, then those cars in the background still all wet all right Brian. Thank you so much
president Trump full steam ahead on his campaign promise of tax reform the commander-in-chief
Speaking to hundreds of people in North Dakota backed with some bipartisan support which is something
We're not used to Garrett any live from Washington with more on that Nick Garrett Rob Heather
Good morning to you you tax reform is not expected to be any easier than health care reforms Ben so President Trump will need all
The support he can to get this done including from moderate Democrats last week
He was in Missouri selling tax reform and yesterday
He was on the road again in North Dakota where he described America's tax code as a giant
self-inflicted wound and called for massive tax cuts for both individuals and businesses
the pipe fitters and plumbers and nurses and
Police officers all the people like you pour their hearts into every penny earned
in both the offices and oil fields of America
You're the ones who carry this station on your back
And it's time for you to get the relief that you deserve. It's enough. It's enough and
President Trump also called on Congress to work together on what he described as this once in a generation opportunity
To cut taxes and simplify the tax code and in what the White House hopes is a sign of things to come North Dakota's?
Democratic senator Heidi Heitkamp joined the President on Air Force One for the trip
Heitkamp is one of a number of vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in state the president won, and whom the
Administration is targeting to help pass tax reform
And other agenda items this afternoon the president is scheduled to work on another of his campaign promises rebuilding America's infrastructure
And he'll participate in a meeting to discuss those efforts at the White House Heather rough right well bipartisanship
Not really a word that we've heard a lot of
Thanks so much in this case you know you've got you know a blood red state like, North Dakota
You've got probably a very moderate Democrat there in Heidi Heitkamp
So it's a good place to start
36 points
It's very tough
I think for a Democrat to win there unless they're at least somewhat moderate and have some conservative values or at least fiscally conservative
So does this mean that we're going to talk about now is?
More of this on the horizon could we've seen us see other Democrats
On stage with the president, maybe trying to find some common ground
Let's listen to a sound bite on that
Senator Heitkamp
Everyone's saying what's she doing up here, but I'll tell you what?
Good woman, and I think we'll have your support. I hope we'll have your support, and thank you very much other
Thank you for coming up
Democrat right now to get up on stage with the president and and show him some support, it's
It calls people out in public to just see what their response is gonna be exactly. Yeah, hi
So Kelly and Conway who's the counselor to the president she called for tax reform in North Dakota?
So what's the media missing?
They're missing the fact that
You have the Democratic senators like Heidi Heitkamp willing to stand with the president today join him to her home state of North Dakota
Why because she knows?
73% of North Dakotans
Support tax reform, and that's the state that Donald Trump won running on tax reform and tax relief by 36 points
Then you look at a state where Joe Manchin in West Virginia is up for re-election next year as well
That's a state bill clinton carried by 15 points in 1996 and 20 years later
Donald Trump carried the state by almost 43 points because he ran as a limited government
Conservative who's going to cut taxes repeal and replace Obamacare?
Strengthen our borders keep us processors and safe
That's what he needs to get back on the agenda everyone get back to work work together, I'm Heidi Heitkamp
We didn't get to tell you in her statement. She said that she intends to keep working with both sides. Yeah well
That's great
And hopefully we can see more of that because right now with the current political situation you're not going to get a lot done
All right 12 minutes after the hour coming up Airlines now being accused of taking advantage
That thousands of people racing to get out of the Hurricanes path, but you won't believe how much the prices are skyrocketing
Highschool tries to ban students from flying flags, but the patriotic teenagers fought back and they want yeah
Jackie banyas joins us live now with their fight to support their freedoms Jackie. Hi good morning. Yeah. This is pretty cool
Well the school wanted them to lower their Flags so these kids
Digits the opposite and now they're Minnesota high school is dropping a controversial policy banning all flags from the student parking lot the decision coming
After nearly a dozen teenagers staged a peaceful protest to the new rules standing up for America by flying Old Glory
Proudly on the back of their pickup trucks there it is
We feel like we're it's America
How can we not fly our own flag and on our trucks if we want it. Just doesn't seem right do you have?
all your warriors or whatever in soldiers who are out there fighting and you can't fly it a
Good mentality there the ban was introduced in response to a few students who flew Confederate flags on their carts last year
but after the protest the school quickly reversed their decision
The protest today was done very positively very appropriately
Manukan have a protest you would want one done like the students did today the community also rallying around their patriotic teens
I'm proud of those kids. I'm just so proud that they're standing up for it
And the school says that they still won't allow Flags they consider offensive to fly on campus
Which makes sense none of the students involved in the protests will be disciplined good for them? Huh yes, right here?
Sunglasses with the American flag on them it was nice Jackie. Thanks so much. Thank you well the Washington Nationals
It's Confederate stained glass windows the artwork
Honoring generals robert e lee and Stonewall Jackson will be taken down immediately and put into storage
At Cathedral officials say that they've been planning to remove the windows, but the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia
sped up that process a
civil rights group wants to cancel upcoming Kid Rock concerts
the National Action network's Detroit chapter once the rocker to back out of six
Performances at a new arena in the city the group is upset over his views on the Confederate flag
criticism of NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick and his support for president Trump
And we're still waiting to see if Kid Rock is going to be running for office
the most interesting thing
Well the time now is about 19 minutes up to the top of the hour and a shocking new survey revealing a concerning trend in
Partisanship Lee Carter's here breaking down the widening political divide
Well stunning new survey showing the political divide in America has been widening for decades take a look at this graphic
put together by Walt The Wall Street, Journal
You can see a fairly consistent drop in approval ratings
Starting with President Eisenhower back in the 50s all the way to President Trump today
So what does this mean for our country?
Pollster and president and partner of mezcla Minsky and partners Lee Carter's here to break it all down
So you say that the difference is a philosophy, and it's fairly simple. It is fairly. Simple it used to be that Republicans
We're the party that believed listen we want government out of our business
We want individuals have the opportunity to do the best they can for themselves Democrats believe the government can provide programs for success
It's a fairly simple debate. You could you could disagree on principles, and you wouldn't say that you're a bad person or a good person
Today what you're saying is the Democrats are saying. We are the party that cares about people well the Republicans
Don't don't now. You've got a good versus evil debate. There's a different value at a plan what about when you take issue by issue?
so when you take it issue by issue you look at something like immigration so
Immigration now has become an issue for the Democrats
You look at say this is about do you care about people or not?
Now Republicans look at this and say let's look at this as a freedom a liberty the opportunity argument
But we need to do is follow this by the letter of law now we're having a conversation about law
Versus care and it becomes an evil you know a good versus evil debate
And you end up in this really really rough place where you're suddenly saying
