city, neighboring friend. we appreciate him being here. craig fugate is here. and obviously, we're very proud of the work he and his fema team have done. suzy pierce, superintendent of schools here, thank you for your leadership. amy simpson, i want to especially commend. plaza towers elementary school principal as well as shelly mcmillan of the briarwood elementary school principal. they were on the ground when this happened, and because of their quick response, their keeping a level head, their putting kids first, saved a lot of people. and they're still going through some tough times. you know, i can only imagine being their husbands who are here, and the panic that i'm sure they were feeling when the tornado first struck. but i know that they could not be prouder of their wives for

the outstanding work they did in this amazing situation. i want to thank chief of police jerry stillings. and all of the first responders in this area who were some of the first folks on the scene. who were putting themselves at risk to save other people's lives. that's what first responders do, but sometimes we take them for granted. and it's important that we don't, and we remember moments like this. that's why it's so important that we continually support them. at my direction, craig fugate arrived here on tuesday. fema was on the ground even before monday's tornado hit. and their teams have now completed searches of more than 1200 buildings. we have helped to register more than 4200 people for disaster assistance, and we have approved more than 3.4 million dollars in direct aid. obviously, there's a lot more to come. but it's not just a government

response. we have seen an incredible outpouring of support from churches, from community groups who are helping folks begin to recover. this area is known more than its share of heartbreak, but people here pride themselves on the oklahoma standard. you know, what governor fallin has called being able to work through disasters like this and come out stronger on the other side. that's what we have been seeing this week. from the forecasters to issued the warnings to the first responders who digged through the rubble to the teachers who shielded with their own bodies their students. oklahomans have inspired us with their love and their courage, and their fellowship. neighbors have been offering up spare bedrooms and couches for those in need of shelter. universities have opened up their buildings for temporary housing and local companies have pitched in. so this is a strong community. with strong character.

there's no doubt they're going to bounce back, but they need help. just like any of us would need help if we saw the kind of devastation that we're seeing here. we have about 1200 homes that have been completely destroyed, but we have 12,000 that have been damaged in one way or another. and that's a big piece of business along with the schools, we have a hospital that has been destroyed. it's going to take a long time for this community to rebuild. so i want to urge every american to step up. if i have got one message for folks here today, go online, donate to the american red cross. and if you're from the area and you need to register for disaster assistance, you can call 1-800-621-fema. that's 1-800-621-fema. or you can go to disasterassistance.gov. disasterassistance.gov. on the web.

either way, i guarantee you, if you've got some significant damage and have been impacted, go ahead and reach out, and they're going to be professionals there who are ready and willing to provide you the assistance you need. we know more is going to come back stronger from this tragedy. your mayor said that you're already printing new street signs. >> yes, sir. >> and i want folks affected throughout oklahoma to know that we're going to be with you every step of the way. on sunday, the first deadly tornadoes touched down about 40 miles from here, and i mentioned this the day afterwards, there was a story that really struck me. in the press, in the rubble was found a bible open to the words that read a man will be as a hiding place from the wind and a cover from the tempest. and that is a reminder, as scripture often is, that god has

a plan. and it's important, though, that we also recognize we're an instrument of his will, and we need to know that as fellow americans, we're going to be there as shelter from the storm for the people of moore who have been impacted. and when we say that we've got your back, i promise you that we keep our word. if you talk to folks in alabama who have been affected over the last couple years, you talk to the folks of joplin who i know have sent volunteers down here to moore, if you talk to folks in new jersey and new york, they'll tell you that when we say we're going to be there until you completely rebuild, we mean it. and i want everybody to have that confidence. so again, to all of the people here behind me, i want to say how proud i am of them, how grateful i am for their service. i want to make one final comment. a lot of the first responders talked about the training they have done in part through some

federal grants to prepare for disasters like this. as a consequence, when it actually happens, they know what to do. they're not losing time. they're able to go through all of the drills and the training that they have gone through. training, education, both for citizenry and also for first responders is absolutely critical. we have to make sure those resources remain in place. i know everybody in congress cares deeply about what is happening and i'm confident resources will be forthcoming when it comes to rebuilding. but remember it's also the ongoing training and equipment that we're making sure that those things are placed, we can't short-change that kind of ongoing disaster response. we can't just wait until the disaster happens. that's how in part we're able to save a lot of lives. i want everybody to keep that in mind. with that, let me just again say thank you to everyone here. madam governor, thank you for your leadership, and may god

bless the people of oklahoma and obviously continue to bless the united states of america. thank you. >> all right, president barack obama shaking hands with governor mary fallin. one of the schools hit very hard, doak a direct hit from the monster tornado that struck six days ago ripping through the heart of oklahoma, the president vowing to continue to be committed on a federal level to the folks in moore, oklahoma. just as he cited the examples as this administration has done for joplin, missouri, and for the victims of the new jersey/new york areas after superstorm sandy. we have live team coverage of the president's visit there to moore, oklahoma. this school was devastated not just streckturucturally, but ths a giant loss of life as well with school kids, but the president there, also praising the teachers who put the kids

first. in all, 24 people were killed through this tornado. ten of which were children, many that were right in school. athena jones, george howell, both with us. george howell there in oklahoma. athena jones at the white house. athena, let's begin with you. the president pmaking his visit there, making the commitment, and also asking people to do what they can, whether it be by way of donations or prap even help out to the folks there in moore, oklahoma. what else is on his agenda there as he visits the folks of moore? >> first among the goals for the president is to be able to meet and speak with families who have been hard hit by this tornado and also thank first responders. we heard him do that in that ten-minute speech just now. before arriving at plaza towers elementary school, he toured the neighborhood around the school, one of the hardest hit neighborhoods in the region. you hueard him talk about the

federal government, making sure they rebiltd. he said it's going to come back stronger than it is now, but it's going to need help. we also heard from the governor, governor mary fallin who is here with him today, about the massive debris field they're having to deal with. 17 miles long, a mile and a half wide. i can tell you when the president signed the major disaster declaration on monday, that gave the community funds in order to expedite some of the debris removal. he also assigned additional funding on tuesday to give them more funding to help remove some of the debris and begin to put the community back on track. we expect him to town to tour the area, continue to talk to the families he encounters, give them hugs, talk to teachers and students and continue to thank first responders there. >> okay, athena. we also understand before the president actually arrived there, air force one did give an overall view while he was on air force one, getting an overall view of the devastation there.

we didn't hear the president directly comment on that, but this commitment from the administration, is it in any way, you know, revealing that this would be a very difficult one, task in which to delivero given the scale of this devastation is so fast? >> well, i think certainly it's going to be a difficult task. we heard from the mayor of joplin, mississippouri, which w by a tornado two years ago and they're still in the process of recovering. they have come a long way, but thers still a long way to go. what the president wanted to do is talk about the government's commitment, not just now, but later on. this is a point he makes often when he tours natural disaster zones. talks about how the federal government is going to be committed when the cameras go away months down the line. everyone acknowledges this is going to take a long time, but the president is trying to offer words of comfort and support, saying this community is going to come back stronger, and they're going to get help from

the federal government and then hopefully from ordinary citizens that he's asked to contribute as well. >> athena jones at the white house, thanks so much. george howell there in oklahoma. george, the president touring the hard-hit areas, the plaza towers school, and how about getting a chance to walk through or at least tour through some of the neighborhoods that were hardest hit? >> fred, absolutely. the simple fact that the president is here, people are comforted by the fact that he's at the school, that he'srespond, fred, as you mentioned, as the money is flowing, the federal assistance, it is there. and you see what's happening here right now. this is a daily occurrence. this is what happens. people are going through all of this debris. the process right now is to move all of this stuff out of the way that could take weeks. it could take months, and that's really where the concern comes in, fred, because people know they have the media attention. they have national media attention. they have a local attention here. the disaster aid is flowing.

but what happens weeks down the road, what happens months down the road? will the federal assistance be there? that's what people are asking, and you find there is some concern, some skepticism. you hear from even from officials. will the money be there? but the president just a few minutes ago, you heard him say, quote, we've got your back. and he mentioned joplin and tuscaloosa, you remember a big storm came through there. right now, we're rrp talking about moore, oklahoma, and don't forget shawnee, oklahoma, just a few miles down the road where an ef-4 tornado came through just a day before the destruction there. when you talk to people on the ground, that is the concern. take a listen. >> now, we're just kind of getting real and starting to clean up. starting to take the next steps. >> are these volunteers helping you out? >> yes, a lot of volunteers. faith in humanity restored. >> the attention needs to be focused on monetary and helping. the volunteers have been great everywhere, and what is oklahoma

is about, we get after it, and go on. everybody needs help. hopefully they'll get it in time. >> so where are we now? we know that many of the funerals have happened. we know later tonight there will be a memorial service, a prayer service, really, for people to come together who have been affected, hard-hit in this area, and obviously the cleanup will continue. it could take weeks, could take months just to get this stuff out of the way so people can start the process to decide whether to rebuild their homes. >> very big, large-scale operation. you heard the president underscoring how many homes, 12,000 homes damaged. 1200 homes destroyed, plus a hospital. so the cleanup is a colossal undertaking, and of course, the rebuilding is painstaking as well. thanks so much, george howell. appreciate that there in oklahoma. oversees now, another person is behind bars, suspected in the killing of that british soldier who was hacked to death in broad

daylight. we'll talk to a terror expert who worries britain could see more attacks potentially, like this one, and possibly unrest in the streets. . that's true. ...but you still have to go to the gym. ♪ the one and only, cheerios ♪ the one and only, cheerios

today. liberty mutual insurance -- responsibility. what's your policy? in england today, the family of a murdered british soldier made an emotional visit to the spot where he was killed. he was stabbed to death near a

military barracks last week. two men were arrested at the scene. since british police reopened the area to the public, thousands of people have visited the site, leaving flowers as you see there and other tributes. then there has been yet another attack on a soldier. this time, in france. french police are searching for a man who stabbed a soldier in the neck yesterday outside paris. and then that person fled. france's defense ministry said the suspect was looking to kill a french soldier. a 23-year-old victim is in the hospital. he is expected to recover. >> so if these two attacks do prove to be terror attacks, does this signal a new type of terror threat that comes from individuals or from larger groups? i want to bring in eric. he's a terrorism analyst and joining me right now from washington. good to see you. >> good to be here. >> do you think the attack in london was part of an effort by a larger group? there has been yet another arrest involve said or in connection with the attack in

london, or do you believe this maybe be indicating the hallmarks of a larger group, a larger network? >> so far, it's not clear if there are links to al qaeda or a larger global movement, but what it looks like is a more localized cell in great britain. i have to tell you, we're seeing the more and more. we saw it in france yesterday with the attack on the soldier there. what you're seeing is and cof a self-starter jihad. you don't have to be linking to al qaeda and pakistan. and al qaeda has said this on their chat rooms. look, you can be your own one-man jihad. act on your own. we saw it in britain this week. we saw it in boston a month ago and in france yesterday. going back further, fredricka, we saw it at ft. hood, one man, one committed jihadist can cause a lot of damage, and that is the new blue print in the west. >> so i understand it's your feeling that particularly in great britain, that this may be the tip of the iceberg, that there may be kind of a boiling

pot that indicates more attacks or displays of rage might be on the horizon. >> you know, fredricka, i have been on the ground in london, in the real islamist enclaves in lau london, spent a lot of time there, talked ee eed radical b face-to-face and they mean business. they're very vocal. there's a tendency to shrug these guys off and say they're full of bluster. they don't mean what they say. well, they mean what they say, and they're inspiring more and more attacks. attempting attacks. there's been plot after plot broken up in great britain over the years. there's plots going on, they're putting these plots into action, and there are brits i have spoken to who are getting fed up. the average guy on the street in great britain is reaching the end of his rope with the radical

islamic threat there and i fear what is coming can culture clashes spaelshz if we have more attacks like we saw this weekend. broad daylight, a british soldier hacked to death. a real outrage among that attack in particular. >> eric, thanks so much for your time. appreciate it from washington today. >> thank you. president barack obama seeing the aftermath of that deadly oklahoma tornado up close and personal today and meeting with the victims as well. but will his role as comforter in chief distract attention away from the controversy surrounding his administration? all that straight ahead. a simple question: asked e how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed much is the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪

president barack obama is in oklahoma right now, meeting with people impacted by the deadly tornado that hit six days ago. he's not only getting a

first-hand look at the devastation. he's doing what only the president has the power to do, serve as consoler in chief. it take s for a moment, perhaps the spotlight off the issues in washington. john avlon writes for newsweek and the daily beast. good to see you. and margaret hoover is also one of our political analysts and is a republican consultant, joining us from new york, good to see you as well. >> thanks. >> how much does an appearance, a visit like this, help the president, john? redirect the focus? >> i do think the role of comforter in chief puts perspective on some of the petty, predictable partisan foits that preoccupy washington, so it's a role we expect, it's a role the president frankly needs right now, but it does cast a lot of the ugliness of washington in perspective. it's not going to take the scandals off the table entirely, but it puts them in perspective. >> margaret, this also puts the

gop in an interesting situation. critics have to be careful about being critical of the president at this time. instead, is the gop trying to refocus, trying to reunite on issues like the irs or national security on the heels of what the president said? >> what he said in oklahoma today? >> what he said previously on the issues of the irs and on the investigations that continue to kind of cast a cloud over his administration? >> i think that's sort of a separate issue, then, oklahoma entirely. and i think as long as the president is going to be comforter in chief, politics are off the table because the president has a job to do, and you see this. whenever there's a natural disaster, politics go off the table, the president responds, whoever the president is. >> the question is about the gop. does this give the gop an opportunity right now to kind of come together because there has been so much discord within the gop, isthis an opportunity now

for the gop to sayering let's get together, whether it's an issue of the irs, issues back in washington haunting the administration, whether it be national security based on what he said on national security and the commitments of the administration just a few days ago. >> i don't see a lot of fract e fractures in the gop right now. i do see part of the gop very responsibly calling the question and frankly, it's not just the republican party. i mean, you have responsible members of the house of representatives and the senate and both parties calling in question, holding the administration accountable in many of the scandals and that's what divided government should do. i'm not seeing this as strictly a partisan issue or a moment to get a one upsmanship in the horse race. >> john, on the justice department's investigations of the leaks, fox admitting it was subpoenas three years ago with state employees after the associated press had phone

records investigated by the doj. is this exploring a leak problem or an overreach problem in doj? >> i think it's an overreach problem in the depart of justice. every administration wrestles with leaks. when you overreach, that's when real problems occur. what happened with sknra rosen is killchilling. to have a journalist named a coconspirator is a new president. there's a bipartisan group of senators with chuck schumer onboard, trying to put provisions into place to stop this from going on, but it's an ugly new pattern, and the democrats who are flexibly defending the president, if this would have happened when bush was president, they wouldn't have been defending it. >> you can punch away at this, overreach problem or leak problem? >> i agree with john. i think it's an overreach problem. i'm shocked i agree with my husband today, but this is an

overreach problem. >> margaret and john, thanks so much to both of you. appreciate it. >> a search is under way right now for a boy missing in the texas floods. we'll have details on that straight ahead.

like yesterday. after 10 inches of rain, perhaps you were with us when we showed you those pictures live. two women ultimately have died after being swept away by floodwaters and rescue crews are searching for a 17-year-old boy. san antonio's mayor told cnn the floodwaters are receding. >> a lot better because there wasn't much of any rain last night. at one point, late yesterday, the national weather service had been predicted 1 to 2 inches of rain, but that didn't happen. so today, it's looking a lot better. most of the streets are clear with the exception of a couple of the highways that go through low water crossing areas that are still being worked on. >> so some of that water is receding. what else is on the horizon? karen mcginnis is with us now. might there be better days for the folks of texas? >> we can't rule out the chance

of a thunderstorm rumbling through. we were looking at this complex lying just to the northwest of san antonio, but as it edged its way in along interstate 10, we thought it would cross over san antonio and produce another round of potentially rheavy rainfall. then it died out before it made its way to the perimeter of san antonio. but here's kind of another interesti ing thing that is goi on. along this eastern access sandwiched between 35, 10, and 37, on the eastern edge of san antonio, a couple thunderstorms erupting here. for the most part, it will be hit or miss. and that's just about it. so over the next several days, we can kind of recover. get things cleaned up and they suspect that perhaps there could be even more persons that could be discovered. already, the situation turned deadly with 8 to 10 inches of rainfall. a staggering amount that really occurred over the course of 8 to 10 hours. here is that complex, if you look at the last few images, we

saw this cluster of thunderstorms wind its way from san angelo, extending its way over toward san antonio. but then it just kind of fizzled out. and take a look at these pictures. this is one of the kodiaks that went out, rescuing a person who was on top of a building on a golf course, and he managed to get safely in the kodiak and was taken away. many roads, sections of interstates, homes were flooded, but we also have reports of extreme wind damage as well. and a apartment complex also was influenced there as well. we'll have more right after this.

teachers have emerged as heroes all across moore, oklahoma, almost one week after that deadly tornado. two at briarwood elementary

school shielded 25 children in a bathroom, and one was able to record the chilling sound of that moment the tornado hit that school. brian todd has their story. >> reporter: that's the sound of the terrifying moments when it tornado hit. lynn and jessica are still shaken. their voices still quiver when they talk about it. monday afternoon, when this massive tornado struck, they huddled with 25 kids inside a bathroom at briarwood elementary school. bretten said she covered two kids with her body and kept thinking -- >> don't let my die. don't let me get these babies out of here. >> reporter: as the roof was torn off and the ceiling caved in on the bathroom, listen to the audio recording on her cell phone of horrified kids, bretten trying to reassure them.

[ screaming ] >> you're okay. you're okay. you're okay. you're okay. we're okay. we're okay. >> i didn't know what to fetell them. i just kept telling them, we're okay. my mind, i was praying. >> she said, father, just protect us. put something between us and the tornado. i know you're stronger than the tornado. and some of the kids were pr praying. the teachers were praying. and i looked ms. bretten in the eye and we could hear a roar. >> bretten teaches sixth grade at briarwood. orr teaches fifth grade. the kids they were protecting, 10 or 11 years old. l lynn said the most intense when the tornado was atte its strongt

played out in about ten minutes. afterwards, this is what was left. at one point, one of the kids shouted, i love you. >> i love you, too. we're okay. we're okay. >> everyone survived. the teachers say no one was hurt. >> the sound, you could hear it start to go away. i thought we made it, we made it. thank you, god. >> lynn says the advice she would give to other teachers for a situation like that. count your kids. know who you have, and stay calm. although she says that's next to impossible. brian todd, cnn, moore, oklahoma. >> incredible. well, the students who made it through that tornado also have so many other heartbreaking stories. but for a moment this weekend, graduates of three high school graduations tried to focus on their lives after the storm. the valedictorian of south moore high, who rode out the storm in a closet, shared these inspiring words.

>> we're damaged, but we survived. we're hurt, but we are resilient. we're graduating, but we are not done with our successes. >> i'm joined now by the superintendent of the state department of education, janet barissi and also jake spradling who graduated yesterday. good to see both of you. first off, jake, conknrachilations to you. how does today feel? >> thank you. >> how are you feeling the day after graduation? >> we're feeling pretty good here. trying to move forward like we always have been. and it's part of our family. moving forward no matter what happens. >> and janet, you must be so proud of jake and the other grads, as well, as so many of the teachers and students, you know, just really came together. we saw that videotape of the

sentiment of teachers and what it was to huddle together and try to stay calm. you know, you have to commend so many of these teachers and students. what is your message to them? and how do you explain this kind of sense of community through such tragedy and devastation? >> well, i can first of all tell you that the ceremony yesterday, that jake participated in and that i had the honor of attending as well, was very inspirational. so poignant, bittersweet, one of the young ladies, ms. castillo, lost her mother in the storm. and people held up pictures of her mother. but also, i have throughout the week been hearing stories of courage and of personal sacrifice just like you saw of countless stories of teachers without regard for their own safety, of support personnel,

administrators literally throwing their bodies on children to help protect them, putting their arms out, spr spreading their arms out to cover and touch as many children. they are the difference between life and death. they are incredible individuals, and it doesn't surprise me a bit. this is what they do every day, is courage. >> and even the president who was there earlier today and made some comments a moment ago, he's still on the ground touring the devastation, talking with survivors. even he said that, you know, he had to praise the teachers for putting kids first. his words. what are you hoping the president -- >> absolutely. -- the president can see while there in moore oklahoma, and what are you hoping the president can help do to piece this community back together? >> well, i know he is going to see people, the people of moore that are rooted within this community with deep, deep faith. and esee the determination they have, the fact that oklahomans and really folks from all over

the country have come here to assist, that giving attitude, what we call the oklahoma standard, is here. and the commitment of individuals to rebuild their lives. jake here lost everything. their home is completely gone. and their family is moving forward. as a matter of fact, he tells me this is his second f-5 tornado. he was in the 1999 tornado. and they are rebuilding once again. >> so then, jake, given all you and your family has been through, graduation day had to take on new meaning. how do you look forward now? you know, how do you try to put this storm behind you? or can you? >> we're just trying to go from being living with family to living in our own house. and starting to buy new things, and just rebuilding from scratch now.

now we've been knocked down to the bottom and we have to work our way up. >> what's next for you, jake? what are you plans? are you going to stay in moore, oklahoma, or are you going to be moving on now that graduation day is behind you? >> well, i have a football scholarship to northwestern oklahoma state, and i have to report in the fall, so it's one of those things where i have been offered to be able to stay down there as much as i can. and they're more than welcome for me to have on campus, so right now, we're playing it by ear, playing it day to day. >> well, all the best to you. go ahead. >> jake tells me he wants to be a teacher. and teach mathematics, and that is absolutely inspirational. and so we're pleased to have him in the profession, and i know he's going to be fantastic.

>> we know that as well. jake, thanks so much, and good luck to you as you head on to northwest oklahoma state, and janet, thanks for your time as well and all the best as you try to rebuild there in moore, oklahoma. thanks for your time. the city of moore is getting help from people who know their pain all too well. people from joplin, mississippi, are reaching out. they say they're simply returning a two-year-old favor. first, this week, a surprising revelation from brad pitt. the actor says he thinks he may have face blindness, and he plans to get tested for the disorder. pitt says even having a real conversation with someone doesn't help him remember faces. so what must it be like living with face blindness? sanjay gupta talks with a man who was diagnosed with that condition. >> oliver may be a world famous neurologist, but there's one simple thing, something

important, something most of us take for granted that he can barely do at all. that's to recognize a face. even a famous one. >> this one? >> soft focus. the owner of this face is looking tough. but i don't know who it is. >> sometimes i fail to recognize myself. >> even yourself? >> yes, i have occasionally started apologizing to a clumsy bearded man only to realize this is a mirror. >> he's face blind. it's a rare and incurable condition he's had since birth. he suspects it's genetic since his brother suffers from the same condition. he can see each facial feature just fine, but putting it all together, that's the problem. >> how about this picture? >> well, that is a beautiful model or an actress. well, i suppose one thinks of marilyn monroe. >> you're looking at me right

now. can you describe what you're seeing? >> you have very beautiful white teeth. so i would recognize you especially by your teeth. >> you see? he finds a way, a way to adapt. >> i mean, now i have outed myself about face blindness. it makes it easier. >> would you want to be cured of this if you could? >> i think so. i think if i was suddenly presented with thousands of familiar, potentially familiar faces, i think this might overwhelm me. >> dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, reporting.
