Is 6:01 in Miami and we start with a Fox News Alert
Hurricane Irma the most powerful Atlantic Basin hurricane in recorded history on the move
Heading straight toward Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas at this hour this after hammering st.
Martin and rocking the Carribean leaving unprecedented damage and unfortunately nine people so far our dad
185 miles per hour catastrophic winds also whipping Puerto Rico knocking out power
thousands now in the dark the monster storm spine now staring directly at the state of Florida forcing brand-new
Evacuation orders on this Thursday morning President Trump is vowing his administration is ready
We're getting ready
To respond to hurricane Irma. We'll work together to help save lives protect families and
support those in need
Well for every angle of this storm
We've got Janice Dean she kicks off our team coverage and is tracking hurricane Irma's latest path good morning Janice. Good morning
Yeah, we're gonna be watching the storm well into next week
It looks like and I just want to point out we have two other hurricanes
We are monitoring Jose and Katia in the Gulf of Mexico both of those storms
Not going to impact the US right now so the last 12 hours it
Thankfully the worst of the storm the worst of the winds and the rain and the storm surge just went north of Puerto Rico
That's great news for them the Dominican Republic also Haiti watching the storm very carefully
But you can see there's the eye right now still a category 5 storm the fact that we have seen this
strength last four days is
Unprecedented, and it is just a monster
You've got the buzz saw look right here all four
quadrants are filled out a
Lot of warm water ahead of this not much to tear this storm apart as it moves towards the Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas
very concerned for these low-lying islands
They are just gonna potentially be devastated, so here's your future radar again going through Turks Caicos, Bahamas, and then we watch South
Florida and the keys
That's when things get a little bit interesting because the computer models don't quite know what to do does a trough pick up the storm
What is the timing on the trough is the high pressure in the Atlantic still very strong so some of those?
Questions still yet to be determined so very good agreement as we head out to Saturday Sunday
Obviously coming too close for comfort for Key West the keys, South, Florida
But watch these computer models guys very good agreement as we get into Saturday Sunday, but then there's a huge spread
And that's why that cone of uncertainty goes up the state of Florida, but now we have to watch
Georgia and the Carolinas because if this storm stays offshore it doesn't get torn apart
And we could be potentially dealing with a major hurricane for the South East Coast
So a lot to determine. We will certainly keep you posted listen to your local officials
Please listen to your local officials and your local forecast, but definitely gonna make landfall on the US according to those models
We will definitely see impact the exact location and the timings still yet to be determined one of those models shows it going to Tennessee
The storm is a Rainmaker goes to town well absolutely if it makes impact here
It's gonna go right into Tennessee and brings
that happen
That is just we've also just heard the death toll is now at 10 Janice and one of those is an infant Authority
I'm nervous that the death toll is going to continue to rise. Yeah, all right JD. Thank you appreciate it
Well as hurricane Irma's path of destruction intensifies Florida is now ramping up evacuations
It's a race against the clock for millions in the storms deadly path Jillian picks up our live team coverage
She's in Miami Beach
where people are leaving everything behind and hitting the road and
If they can get gas Julian they do and the good news for the folks at that gas station is the big truck
Filling up the gas station is right behind you
Yes and guys
So we've been here live for an hour now been on location for about an hour and a half people have been here for hours
Waiting in just literally six minutes ago. This truck pulled up
You would have thought us Christmas out here
And it was little kids because that's how excited everyone was everyone shared they clapped this is Keith
He is obviously hard at work right now keith is the hero of the day as far as everyone at this gas station is concerned
I mean as I mentioned they've been here waiting for hours as you can see this gas station has already boarded up like most places
Down here and let's come over right now to Bianca and Elizabeth
First you notice the truck you were just clapping you were cheering how you feel
Much better. No it's like better than in the latter
Did you guys at all Bianca think there was a point where you may not get guests
Yeah, we were already thinking of like an alternative, which is just some uber all the way to Dania Beach
So that we would just leave our car here cuz you don't have enough gas to go, but once it arrived
I've never been so happy to see yes in my entire life. It was like like and this is your first hurricane
You're experiencing in this area you're getting out of town. Are you going to say family with friends? What's the plan was friend Aaron?
Friends they're gonna kind of guide us through the first hurricane, so we'll feel a little bit better once we get up there
Okay, well guys
I'm very happy to share this moment with you because they've been here waiting since 2:00 2:30 this morning
So definitely a lot of happy campers out here, but that's not the same all across the area
We'll have live reports for you throughout the mornings in the back to LA region. Thank you very much
Lot it remind you the basic stuff you take for granted moments like this moment prices
Suddenly become something you'll go to a gas station at 2:30, and we're all pulling for him
I was watching Jillian doing her live shots the 5 a.m.
Show and she interviewed them and they said they were told by the gas station attendant yesterday to come back at 3:00 a.m.
Right so they got there at 2:30 here. It is 6 o'clock in the morning, and they're finally getting their gas
Just think about it if an evacuation is ordered for where they're at and so far
They have ordered some along the coastal areas including I believe Miami Beach
There are essentially two major roads out in South, Florida
North
95 and 10 and the key is just to outrun the wind they think but really it's the storm surge you got to worry about
Well the governor of that great state of Florida. He said we can rebuild homes
We cannot rebuild your family, so there is Burma
And it looks like it's headed
Florida will be impacted the question is how much we're gonna be following it throughout the morning in the meantime
Let's talk about the big political story
And this is it it was a political
Explosion yesterday the president in the United States a Republican made a deal with the Democrats
that's the headline the president overruled his Treasury secretary and
the congressional leadership on the Republican side who wanted a debt ceiling increase in fund the government and to get 8 billion dollars for Harvey
They wanted it to go Pat the limit to go past next year's midterm elections
They want to kick it all the way to every Democrats
Just wanted three months, and you know what the president not wanting a fight apparently said that's the deal
I'm gonna take right now because we've got tax reform and other stuff. We got to do right now good for him
He's doing this for the folks that are affected by Harvey. I remember originally
He said he was going to give it was like five point nine five billion to the folks in Texas
And then we had I think chris Christie on the on the couch or someone of the one one leader another governor who said
That's not enough money. He needs to have more now
He's giving 8 billion to help those families
And it's great well some some conservatives are upset because they want their time big time
But you know what this is a clear shot at Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan
Hey guys, if you can't get things done then listen
I'll go work with the Democrats sure and I'll work with the things like raising the debt ceiling and
The continuing resolution to fund the government and Irma listen Democrats are always happy to spend your money
And they'll always happy to raise your debt ceiling and do those types of things so they're happy to come to the table
But I think it's very strategic from this president clear out the underbrush of the stuff that could be
Contentious that Washington likes to fight about so you can clear the deck to fight for the stuff that really matters now
He's got real leverage with Daka on the wall run
She really won't want and tax reform, and maybe one more shot at repeal and replace Obamacare
That's what the president really wants isn't it refreshing to see them work together, though
I don't I think it's they're using each other at this moment
The deal isn't that what they do it's the art of the Dems
Here's the thing and there you can see the president and Chuck Schumer
Locked in a conversation right there. What exactly did the president sign up for a three-month extension of the debt limit?
It's not like he's signing it away for the next 20 years
It's a short-term deal
But here's the soundbite of the president last night in North Dakota where he did do a pitch for tax reform talking about
Sometimes you got to reach across the aisle and pull those guys over to your side watch
Prior to leaving the White House I had a great
bipartisan meeting with Democrat and Republican leaders in Congress
And I'm committed to working with both parties to deliver for our wonderful wonderful citizens
it's about time we had a great meeting with Chuck Schumer Nancy Pelosi and
the whole Republican leadership group
and I'll tell you what we walked out of there Mitch and Paul and everybody Kevin and
We walked out and everybody was happy not too
Happy because you can never be too happy, but they were happy enough
and
It was nice to see that happen for a change because that hasn't happened for a long time in this country for a very long
time
Quick a quick note the president will be having dinner tonight with Paul Ryan
That's going to be great in the White House so that will be an interesting comment
Let us know let us know what you think of this. Do you like the president working with the Democrats?
We'd love to see those emails
The President himself was in North Dakota as I mentioned ago talking about tax reform here
he is pitch in lower taxes for everybody a
Country under economy cannot take off like they should unless we reform America's outdated complex and extremely
Burdensome, I mean this is so complicated and so burdensome our tax code if we want to renew our prosperity restore our
Opportunity and reestablish our economic dominance, which is what we should be doing
Then we need tax reform. That is pro-growth
pro-jobs pro worker pro-family and yes
pro-american my
Administration is working with Congress to develop a plan that will deliver more jobs higher pay
Lower taxes for businesses of all sizes and middle-class families all across the nation
So it's not only business taxes its
middle-income families its families at every level every
Level tax cuts, that's a winning message
That's a message if that can resonate and poke through so even Democrats might be for Heidi Heitkamp was on stage with them
And he brought her up on stage you said you might be asking why is she up here with us?
She's the one on the far right and he said she she supports tax reform
Just like the most people in this in the state of North Dakota
And I you know it's it's great to see them all working together. I think it was wonderful
It is but you look at what the president has accomplished with Congress thus far
He did not have one legislative win really any of the big stuff. Thanks to any of the Republicans this morning
He actually has something accomplished with help from the Democrats
and he thinks that this opening is an
opportunity on what he really wants and what he ran on and that is building at least a portion of the wall and so on
His side he wants the wall on the Democratic side they want the dreamers to stay here's the president on perhaps a deal on daca
Congress, I really believe
wants to take care of this situation
We discussed that also today
And Chuck and Nancy would like to see something happen to see something where we have border security, and we have a great
dock
Transaction everybody is happy and now they don't have to worry about it anymore. I'd like to see a
Permanent deal, and I think it's going to happen it really could two things in this heidi heitkamp approval ratings 32%
So this is brass tacks politics. She needs him she needs him and then on the dacha deal it why not get a wall
That's permanent unfunded which is his campaign problem. He says for the dreamers
I'll give you what you want dreamers can stay democrats you give me what I want. I want the wall
He's not even asking for all the money for the wall. He just wants under two billion dollars to start the wall. It's a safe
We'll see if that happens
We'll see if other democrats come on board like heidi heitkamp past all right. I mean while he's the IT
staffer for the DNC and debbie Wasserman Schultz accused of stealing American secrets and hiding out in Pakistan, but this morning a major update
He's coming back to America plus critics loved playing President Trump for the political divide
But is it really a trend that's been growing for decades Lee Carter's here with a history lesson for us coming up next
a
Stunning new survey showing the political divide in this country has been growing for decades
It's not just now as this graph shows the approval rating for
presidents by their opposing party has been dropping since the
1950s see over on the far left that size an hour on the far right that's president Trump
60% of Democrats approved of the job Eisenhower was doing eight months into his presidency
Compared to just eight percent of Democrats who approve of President Trump today, so what does it mean?
What is going on don't ask me let's ask her?
pollster leaked part of the president and partner of Miss Lansky and partners all right Lee as you as you look at the
Scale over there. You can see that it really fell off the cliff during the Bill Clinton years
I mean George Herbert Walker Bush was very popular with the opposing party
What happened to Bill Clinton that has sustained to this day?
So you can see what's really?
Changes the way we frame in the way we view the world it used to be that when you were having a conversation
With somebody of a different political party you would say I think we both want what's best for America
What I believe is a Democrat is I think that the government should ride programs to make things better
Republicans would say listen. I want to give tools to the individuals and government to be out of my business
And you could have a debate and you could disagree and say we both want what's best for us
What ended up happening is that it became a value judgment so it use it became framed as for Democrats
We're the party that cares about people Republicans
You don't and then the Republicans start to say we care about freedom, and if you oppose us
Then you must hate freedom sure and so now it became so I mean it's very very personal and very very moral very very
Visceral it goes to the core, and here's a quote from this market walk story
Summarizing Democrats are twice as likely to say they never go to church as Republicans and are eight times as likely to favor action on
climate change
one-third of Republicans say they support the NRA while just four percent of
Democrats do so it's the way people are wired this these days right?
It's the way people are wired and when you look at it
There's this
There's a something called the moral values Theory basic dumber Democrats primary value is all about care
And so when you see that play out with an immigration they're wired towards care
That we are supposed to as government provide care for those people and if you're against us you must hate people
You must be anti people and somehow evil now on the Republican side
we've we framed my letting a lot of things around freedom liberty and all of those kinds of things and choice and so when
Democrats Democrats were saying then you must hate freedom you must hate choice
And so what ends up happening is we're at a gridlock
And we absolutely can't compromise because we're saying that this a value judgment against each other rather than a difference in opinions
So if you hear commentators talk a little bit about how things have never been this bad
It's been a long time coming to where we are today
It sure has and you can see the difference and issue by issue whether it's immigration the way you look at the future
It's all tied into your political beliefs all right Lee Carter
We thank you very much for joining us live today great to be here all right
So what do you think about that share your thoughts Fox and Friends calm meanwhile?
He's a Marine general who lost his son in Afghanistan
