[0:00] funding

[0:01] >> tonight. The situation with Tucker

[0:02] Carlson starts right now. And Tucker, I

[0:04] can guess what the situation is. I bet

[0:06] >> many situations tonight, Lisa.

[0:08] >> All right, thanks. Here they are. Bill

[0:10] Maher will be here in just a minute with

[0:11] his take on the hurricane devastation

[0:13] and the government's response to it.

[0:15] Elderly tyrant Fidel Castro says that

[0:17] after 45 years of hating this country,

[0:19] he's happy to pitch in and help us. And

[0:25] story right now, of course, Hurricane

[0:53] Hurricane Rita is right now and where

[0:55] she's headed. Bill. Well, good evening,

[0:57] Tucker. If everyone's been uh joining us

[0:59] here, we were thought that or at least I

[1:00] thought that it was going to be a

[1:01] category 3 storm with this new update.

[1:03] It's only a category 2. Let me try to

[1:05] explain why and kind of what happens.

[1:07] It's at 95 knots. And the way we convert

[1:09] that is into miles per hour. Category 2,

[1:12] the max goes up to 110. And that was my
