"Does Fox typically post transcripts of Brit's show?"

If any of you get a copy of the transcript on this particular show, please let me know! We're not on cable and I missed it.

I missed the show too, Maria; just got home and meant to set the VCR before leaving. Dang it.

Segment started at 6:21 ET, right after the Merrit Financial commercial. Hume was responding to a question raised by Senator Leahy concerning the lack of food, water, medicine, etc., at the shelter and wanted to know why they couldn't get through.

Hume talked to Major Garrett, Fox News correspondent, who was in the studio and answered the question.

(Excerpt from video tape):

Garrett: "The Louisiana Department of Homeland Security told them (the Red Cross) they could not go."

Hume: "And this is Louisiana ..... this isn't the Louisiana branch of the Federal Homeland Security. This is ....

Garrett: "The state's own agency devoted to the state's Homeland Security. They told them, they cannot go there. Why? The Red Cross tells me that state agency in Louisiana said, "Look. We do not want to create a magnet for more people to come to the Superdome or the Convention Center. We want to get them out."

Garrett: "So, at the same time local officials were screaming, 'Where's the food? Where's the water?', the Red Cross was standing by ready, the Louisiana Department of Homeland Security said 'You can't go.'
