President Donald Trump plans to travel to California to meet with individuals affected by the wildfires, a week after he blamed the state’s forest “mismanagement.” Plus, a recap of the president’s trip to France. And, the latest on the migrant caravan.

The panelists recapped the president’s latest pardon, a new study that says more than 4,600 people died during Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, and the culture clashes over recent racist, vulgar celebrity language.

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price resigned after it was revealed he spent over $400 thousand of taxpayer money on private plane rides. The scandal was just one setback for the Trump administration this week as criticism builds after a slow response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico where the 3.4 million U.S. citizens remain in dire conditions.

As Hurricane Harvey dissipates, the recovery effort in Texas is just beginning. The Category 4 storm dropped more than 50 inches of rain near Houston and killed dozens of people. The panelists discussed the long cleanup process and the government’s response. The group also discussed the upcoming DACA decision.

Hurricane Matthew has caused the deaths of 140 people, mostly in Haiti, and that toll is expected to rise. Aid workers who have been able to reach the most heavily damaged areas report near-total losses. The U.S. mainland is the storm’s next target; Florida, Georgia and South Carolina are already under a state of emergency. Gwen Ifill gets an update from FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate.

Ten years since Hurricane Katrina brought tragedy to the city of New Orleans, the story of its recovery can read like a tale of two cities. Marc Morial, Urban League CEO and former mayor, joins Gwen Ifill to take stock of the school system, the need for affordable housing and the enormous task of rebuilding and recovering.

After writer and Tulane University professor Jesmyn Ward survived Hurricane Katrina while staying at her grandmother’s house, she wrote “Salvage the Bones,” an award-winning novel about a Mississippi family in the days leading up to the devastating storm. She joins Gwen Ifill to discuss how the storm affected the rural poor who could not escape, and now, who may not be able to return.
