we'll start in danvers, massachusetts, a town in mourning right now searching for answers. the body of a young teacher went missing yesterday, found this morning in the woods behind a high school. inside the school, a blood -- there was blood found in a bathroom. and a 14-year-old boy is now in police custody. earlier, the district attorney held a briefing and described what led to their investigation. >> as a result of a missing person's report filed with the danvers police department late yesterday afternoon, danvers police initiated an investigation to locate a 14-year-old male who did not return home from danvers high school earlier in the day. at approximately 11:20 p.m. last evening, danvers police received a report that a danvers high school teacher had not returned home from work and was not answering her cell phone. as a result of that report, danvers police initiated a search for the teacher and discovered blood in the second floor bathroom at danvers high

school. the school was immediately secured. >> a reporter alexandre field is in danvers right now following the latest developments for pass. what do we know? was there any relationship connection between the boy and the teacher? was the boy a student? >> reporter: wolf, because we're talking about a 14-year-old at the center of this case, a 14-year-old who will face murder charges later today, we know little about the relationship between the student and the teacher or any potential connection between the two. investigators are not giving those details again because this case involves a juvenile. but we do know a 14-year-old is facing charges. a number of other students have come to the high school this morning and tell us their teacher colleen ritzer was an algebra angie omtory teacher and taught 14-year-old students, freshmen and sophomores. it is unclear whether or not this boy was a sund in her class. but we do know she taught students of that age. a lot of students this morning turning up at the school, mourning a woman who was very

much a well liked, a beloved teacher. she taught in the district for the last two years. she was known for standing outside of her door, greeting students in the morning. they tell us her favorite color was pink. the students plan to hold a vigil tonight all of them dressed in pink. they are home today with their parents trying to make sense of what has happened. all seven schools in the district were shut down as news of this unfolded. a math teacher's body found in the woods behind the high school. so the school district not taking any chances, keeping all students home. that's exactly where the parents say they want their kids to be today. >> why did they shut down all the schools? >> well, we're told that they were only looking for one suspect. that 14-year-old who will be headed to court this afternoon. investigators say they were not looking for anyone beyond that 14-year-old, but it seems the decision was made when you have a moment like this, a horrifying moment in this town's history where a lot is uncertain, that the quick response was just to say the kids are staying home with their parents.

you can't keep them away from school on a day like today. they want to be with their classmates. we're seeing soccer team students come out and talk to each other. they're leaving flowers in front of the school, doing the things they need to do to try and kope today. but the decision was made from the top that class would not be scheduled today. >> alexandre field, thank you. we're hearing also from students at the danvers high school in massachusetts. they say they were shocked to hear what happened to their teacher. understandably so. listen to this. >> just thinking back on it, it's just surreal that how quickly someone can go and how much we take for granted every day. she was like the nicest teacher you could ever have. and just -- i can't believe it. >> this is the second high profile incident at a school this week. on monday, a teacher in sparks, nev was killed when a student opened fire. two other students were wounded. let's discuss what's going on

with psychologist jeff garderery here in new york watching what's going on. how do the parents deal with this? they have to explain what's going on to their kids. >> which is a good idea shutting down the schools, letting them spend time with their kids, mo are than anything listening to what the kids have to say, letting them go through the grieving process and talking to them about life, what we once considered to be the safe havens, the schools no longer are those sorts of places. reality has imposed itself there. it's important for parents to be able to communicate that to their kids, but yet, at the same time, also not make them jaded. >> because some of these kids will really be shaken by this and have some problems potentially. >> here's what happens. if you don't talk about your feelings, if you don't have that catharsis as we talk about in accessory, you internalize a lot of those emotions and become very, very fearful and some of that fear is turned a lot of times into anger.

anger at others, anger at yourself. we see some of this situational depression. so it's important that these kids be allowed to talk about all of their emotions having to doing withing this what we know as a beloved teacher and what that feels like for them to be betrayed in such a way to lose someone who was a role model to them. >> presumably some kids knew this 14-year-old boy now in custody and are going to be asking themselves questions. >> asking themselves lots of questions, what was the nature of the relationship they had with this individual, were there things they saw about this individual that they should have told someone and didn't. a lot of confusion. how does something like this happen with someone that is so young. >> it's a serious problem. people all over the country should start taking lessons, teachers, administrators, parents dealing with these kinds of issues because we've seen them pop up all over the country. >> i don't think we should get into the mind-set that these sorts of crimes are committed by

18-year-olds and up. we see a 12-year-old, a 14-year-old. so we have to pay attention that there are mental health issues that happen very, very early and if we're able to tackle them as early as possible, then the prognosis is much better. i'm sure there were signs in that 12-year-old who killed the teacher in sparks. there are signs with this 14-year-old. people probably didn't connect the dots. they need to understand that severe emotional issues can happen with someone very, very young and if we don't address it, then it can turn into something that is horrific. >> jeff gardere, psychologist, thanks very much. once again, we don't know a whole lot about what exactly happened. the investigation only just beginning >> sure. >> we're going to continue to follow the story, bring new details as they become available. let's turn to other news we are we're following including what the president knew about the problems with the obama care web eight soon when did he know it. cath leave sebelius says the president was blindsided. the health and human services

not before october 1st, there was no concern by the white house or at hhs? >> i think that we talked about having testing going forward and if we had an ideal situation and could have built a product and you know if i five-year period of time, we probably would have taken five years but we didn't have five years. >> jim acosta is standing by over at the white house. cabinet members will be fanning out across the country in.in the coming days urging folks to sign up for obama care. now we've learned insurance officials are at the white house for a meeting today. what do we know about that meeting >> interesting to point out the secretary of health and human services who you just saw in that interview with sanjay gupta will be at that meeting with executives from the insurance industry later on this afternoon. that meeting hasn't started just yet to the best of our understanding. important to point that out, wolf, because there's been a lot of people asking for kathleen sebelius to step down, most

notably paul ryan said that yesterday in a conference call on behalf of ken cuccinelli down in virginia. and in addition to that, you mentioned some of these administration officials who are going to be fanning out across the country. kathleen sebelius is one of them heading to a customer call center for obama care in phoenix tomorrow. so a couple of interesting things to note, not only that an kathleen sebelius will be out there and copies to be the implementation of the roll out of obama care but highlighting a call center. that's also important because they're trying desperately to get the word out not only can you go to the web site and put up with the delays but you can put in a phone call and do it, as well. in case you're wondering what's going on behind me, i want to point this out to viewers in case they're wondering, the joint forces honor guard is in the driveway of the white house right now getting ready to

welcome the pakistani prime minister shareef scheduled to have talks with president obama this afternoon at the white house. a pretty rocky relationship between these two countries not only because of the mission to kill osama bin laden but the drone strikes that have been very controversial in that part of the world. >> on obama care, what do they hope to achieve with the insurance executives coming over to the white house? >> they've been tight-lipped what the purpose of the meeting is, wolf. you have to sort of assume at this point a lot of this has to do with the implementation and rollout of the website because people are going in there and buying insurance from various health insurance providers, the experience that a lot of people are having out there has not always been a good one. and so my guess is, would he have, they're trying to make sure that the continuation of this roll out is a little bit smoother than what eave seen so far. we should mention jay carney is getting ready to start the press briefing any moment now. that is probably one of the questions he will be asked. but interesting to note that the insurance industry which was at

really sort of at odds with president obama as he was trying to get obama care passed now they're sort of working together on the implementation of this law. so wanted to point that out, as well. >> jim acosta with the color guard behind him. we'll monitor jay carney's briefing, dip in if it gets interesting over there. house republicans meanwhile, they are forging ahead with hearings into obama care. the majority leader eric cantor says the problems go way beyond the website. he called for more transparency from the obama administration just a little while ago. >> the rollout of obama care is nothing short of a debacle. and the american people are now fearful of their health care. i mean, they're down right scared about what's going to happen with their health care next year. and all we're hearing from the administration really is really unen satisfactory in terms of answers to the many, many unanswered questions. >> our chief congressional koept

dana bash is standing by up on capitol hill. dana, we know there are important hearing of the house energy and commerce committees opening up hearings into the obama care website problems that have developed. so set the scene for us. what do they hope to achieve by these hearings. >> in tomorrow's hearings, the focus will be on who is involved in implementing this website, why were all of these companies hired that seem to not obviously get the job done, the money that was spent. sort of the technical focus on the website. but what is so fascinating about what republicans particularly house republicans are discussing behind closed doors is not to just focus on the website, in fact, we understand that house speaker john boehner told his rank and file in a private meeting this morning that he believes ultimately this website will get fixed. that is why politically, he is urging republicans to keep their focus politically on the big picture, on the obama care law in general and why they think it's wrong.

so that's why you heard one after another starting with the speaker all the house republican leaders talk not just about the website but about things what they call a tax for people, families who don't get their health care or don't sign up for it, which is supposed to go into effect next year saying that should at least be delayed because of problems that obama care is having and other issues surrounding the law. so that is where they're focused. meanwhile on the democratic side, as you can imagine, there are a lot of house democrats in particular frustrated because they're all up for re-election next year. house democrats are really desperate to retake the house. they feel that they've had a political upper hand because of the shutdown that really hurt republicans. so you would think behind closed doors, they would be sort of a little bit unsure about whether or not they should have some more substantive changes. my understanding is that the focus among rank and file democrats in a meeting they had with hs representatives this

morning was just fix the problem with the website. and they feel that ultimately, once that is done, that the law itself, the underlying specifics are going to be just fine and that the focus now should be just fixing the website. in fact, that is what nancy pelosi the democratic leader said. so many times oops i stopped counting, just fix it. >> they must be so angry and frustrated that at least the initial rollout has been botched. i can only imagine. thanks very much. friendly fire on twitter meanwhile. white house and administration officials blasted by one of their own. but now the anonymous twitter mole has been unmacked. i'll speak to the man who first reported the story. that's next. i'm only in my 60's. i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when i found out medicare doesn't pay all my medical expenses, i looked at my options. then i got a medicare supplement insurance plan.

inappropriate tweets from inside the national security council. the white house has now fired the nse's director of nonproliferation, joef i joseph for firing off a series of tweets since 2011 under the name natsecwonk. he took shots at the administration, republicans, the news media on his twitter feed, he promised the inside scoop on the foreign policy scene. here's this one everyone september 3rd when john kerry was testifying on capitol hill about the administration's serious strategy sitting behind him was his wife teresa heinz kerry who made her first appearance that day after suffering a seizure over the summer. smart move by kerry to bring her for the sympathy factor and

soften potential questions. he's still a politician, folks. on a white house memo praising presidential advisor valerie jarrett, did anyone at the white house seriously think this type of drivel would convince anyone that valerie jarrett actually does anything there? that's a quote. and here's what he said about the former cia director and defense secretary leon panetta. leon panetta never has more acclaim been awarded a bureaucratic caretaker do nothing, look behind the curtain please. obama can be a [ bleep ] to his staff and not afraid to throw them under the bus for his own self-interest #confess your unpopular opinion. joining us is the reporter who broke this story about this guy who was tweeting all this stuff, josh rogin is joining us from "the daily beast." josh, good work. thanks very much. so how did you do it without revealing any confidential sources or anything? how did you break the story? >> sure, for years now, lots of

us in the journalist community and the foreign policy committee have been searching for mit industries tweeter, and he had managed to insult so many people of so many stripes that eventually there became sort of this underground community of people putting together evidence from his tweets and in the things he said and the evidence that he did put forth searching for him. and eventually, someone in the administration cracked the code. and fireded him upon the spot. once he was fired, it was only a matter of time before the name was revealed to some sources who then revealed it to me. >> so his identity was broken by presumably someone on the national security council staff or within the administration, right? >> right. it's not exactly clear how they did it. there's been reporting some reports of a leak investigation and some sourcing that i've heard that he was in line for a senior position in the pentagon, and in being vetted for that position, they may have stumbled upon then illicit activity. the bottom line is that he was doing this so prolifically and

sore foe long, eventually it was going to come out. now he's paying the severe consequences of his actions. >> you saved a lot of his tweets because eventually they were all taken down. you save the a lot including nasty ones wrote about you. >> yeah, even i wasn't immune from the vial and snark. when i wrote an article he liked he would praise it and when i wrote an article he didn't, he bashed it. this wasn't a personal thing for me. this was something that everybody in the community was following and paying attention to. he was also a man who was revealing sensitive personnel and other information from inside the national security staff. he had a top secret clearance. he was working on negotiations with iran. and he was dishing about all of the people in the news that journalists like you and me cover every day. it wasn't about me or about any one person. it was about this guy jofi joseph and his vendetta against

the people he was working for. >> he issued an a0 pol ji. it has been a privilege to serve in the administration. i deeply regret violating trust and confidence placed in me. what started out as an intended parody account of dc culture developed into mean spirited comments. i bear complete responsibility for this affair and sincerely apologize to everyone i insulted. is there any indication he did anything illegal? >> i have not found any at least classified information in the tweets although he accuses senior white house officials of leaking classified information. those are allegations he has made. so 0 i don't think he did anything necessary illegal. he did violate the agreements and policies that he signed up for when he became a top national security official with i top security clearance. people who decide to be for this country especially in the national security field agree to give up some of their liberties to a publicly whatever is in

their head. he betried those agreements and that's why he was fired. >> i assume there are plenty of other people who worked in the government who have sort of anonymous private accounts they start tweeting on >> yes, lots of people violate the government's rules over social media, but very few people do it in such a blatant and egregious and vulgar way. you can get away with tweeting on your personal time if you're a member of the government and even a member of the national security team but you capital get away with contradicting the policies of the people who employ you and insulting senior lawmakers and officials. and then basically making so many enemies that you force the foreign policy community to come out and root you out and find you. that's what mr. joseph did. >> i follow you on twitter, josh. i read all your stuff. you're an excellent reporter and i totally disagree with jofi's analysis. >> right back at you, wolf. >> thanks very much for that. josh rogin, doing an excellent

job at "the daily beast." she's being called the sweetest most harmless person ever. i an young teacher found dead behind her massachusetts school and a 14-year-old boy being held on a murder charge. the latest from danvers, massachusetts, that's next. ido more with less with buless energy. hp is helping ups do just that. soon, the world's most intelligent servers, designed by hp, will give ups over twice the performance, using forty percent less energy. multiply that across over a thousand locations, and they'll provide the same benefit to the environment as over 60,000 trees. that's a trend we can all get behind. the united states population is going to grow by over 90 ovemillion people,ears and almost all that growth is going to be in cities. what's the healthiest and best way for them to grow so that they really become cauldrons of prosperity and cities of opportunity?

school inside the school, blood found in a bathroom. a 14-year-old boy is being held on a murder charge. earlier the district attorney talked about the victim, 24-year-old colleen ritzer. >> it was apparent that she was a homicide victim. she was a teacher here at danvers high school. this is a terrible tragedy of colleen ritzer and the entire danvers communities. >> alexandre field, i understand we are now ready to identify the 14-year-old's name. is that right? >> reporter: that's right, wolf. phillip chisholm was in court this morning, the 14-year-old the district attorney says he will present the case to a grand jury. if the grand jury returns an indictment, this 14-year-old will be tried as an adult. right now he is being kept in an adult facility, the essex county house of corrections relate the to the death of a 4-year-old beloved math teacher, colleen ritzer. her body found just outside of

danvers high school. the shoal is shut down today along with the other six cool oos in the school district. students mourning the loss of a teacher described as being very well liked. again, a young teacher at the high school for just two years. we're not sure of what connection she may have had to this 14-year-old chisholm. but other students at the high school tell us that ritzer was a math teacher who taught freshmen, 14-year-olds. again, we cannot confirm whether or not chisholm was a student in her class. we do know she taught that age group. this morning, students are trying to take in the news. it's a small and a tight community. trying to make sense of the loss here. a lot of questions still unanswered about why this woman was found dead behind the school she worked in. wolf. >> i suppose you're trying to find someone who knows phillip chisholm. have you found any of this friends, any other students in the school that may have known him? >> would he have, we have talked to a couple of students out here

today. they say they did not know him well because he moved from tennessee just at the start of this school year. that means he would have been at the school for only about two months now. he was on the jv soccer team. we haven't heard from anyone who seems to really know him and his character well. they're telling sort of generic things. he was a nice kid. joined the soccer team. he came from tennessee. there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary about him, but again, he had not had a lot of time at this high school so he was not yet a very well-known student here. >> we know he was definitely a student at that high school. >> we do know that. we do not know the relationship however, or if there was a connection, if he was a student in the class of this particular teacher, colleen ritzer. but students out here today say yes, they know him, he's a student here, 14, on the soccer team. he was in some of their classes. he this don't know who his math teacher was or if colleen was

his fasth teacher. >> he's being charged as an adult, held as an adult, is that right? >> that's correct. there was a lot of discussion this morning, prosecutors came out. investigators said look, he's 14. he could be tried as a juvenile but now today, he was in court just a few minutes ago and we are hearing from the district attorney that if the grand jury returns an indictment on the murder charge, that he would be tried as an adult. is he again being held in an adult facility right now as we speak, essex county house of corrections. >> alexandre field on top of the story for us. we're going to continue to follow the story. more information will be shared as soon as we get it. also ahead, the damage control over the botched obama care website shifting into overdrive. can the obama administration get the program completely back on track anytime soon? our chief political analyst gloria borger, she's here. we'll discuss.

she's taking a lot of heat for the botched rollout of the obama care website. some republicans even calling for the health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius to resign. she skirted the question in an exclusive interview with our own dr. sanjay gupta. >> if this persists or even at this point now, would you consider resigning over this? i think my job is to get this fully implemented and to get the website working right. that's really what i'm focused on. i work at the pleasure of the president. he is singularly focused on making sure we deliver on this promise that's what i'm committed to do. >> let's discuss with our chief political analyst gloria borger with us from washington. i take it they're going to try to be more transparent now. >> yes, they are.

jay carney just announced minutes ago they're going to try to do daily briefings for journalists on the progress they're making with the website so they can appear to be more transparent, but wolf, up till this point, i'd have to say and we au heard sanjay's interview last night, i think that there are so many questions out there that leave us scratching our heads, which is if there were extensive concerns prelaunch, why wasn't this run up the flagpole? why didn't this get to the president of the united states? if they can't fix all the problems they've got right now, wolf, what's the plan b? we know they're finally sending in the a team. we can ask with why that wasn't done in the first place. but if they can't get this up and running, what's their backup plan? are they going to get rid of the penalties, for example, are they going to extend open enrollment? there are lots of questions here that remain to be answered and it gives you the sense that

they're making it up as they go along, which is not really comforting to a lot of people out there trying to get on this website. >> there's a new cbs poll that's out reflects public opinion. it's not good for the administration. how is the signup on health care exchanges going, well, 12%, not well 49%. don't know 38%. so how do they turn this around? well, they're trying to turn it around and you heard jay carney do it and you heard secretary sebelius do it. they're trying to say look, a website is not the affordable care act. okay? and they have a point there. that is not the affordable care act. and they're trying to say focus on what this plan can do for you. when you sign up, you're not going to be asked whether you have a pre-existing condition. you're not going to be denied insurance. but the real problem they have in turning it around, wolf, is that the people who are being turned off by this are younger people who would most naturally go to the internet to sign on.

and they're the people they need, the healthy young people, they're the people they need to make this program work. so the president sending his cabinet out there. the president i'm sure will continue to talk about it. but they've got a real problem here because if it the website doesn't work, a lot of people are going to say, wait a minute, if the website doesn't work, how's the program itself going to work? this doesn't bode well. >> gloria borger, thanks, see you later in the situation room. let's get back to the other story we're follow. a horrible situation in danvers, massachusetts. 14-year-old boy now being held by local police in connection with the murder of a teacher, a 24-year-old teacher at danvers high school. mike brooks is joining us right now. law enforcement analyst. he's being held as an adult. maybe charged as an adult. even though he's only 14 years owed. why do they do that? >> well, wolf, if they think they have the evidence to charge premeditation, if there's enough evidence to say he premeditated

this, if it was so heinous, they could charge him as an adult by massachusetts law. but there's a lot of questions that remain unanswered here, wolf. especially as motive. why did he kill as a 14-year-old killed his 24-year-old math teacher and what was the relationship between these two at school? >> allegedly. >> allegedly. absolutely. >> because we don't have enough information. we know he was a student at the school. our reporter on the scene told us that. we don't know if he was a student in her classroom. we have no idea -- if she knew who he was. these are all questions ta local authorities have not yet answered. as a precaution, they've shut down all the schools in this town, seven other schools. that's presumably a good idea, right? >> i think it is. you have five elementary schools and a middle school and the high school which is basically an active crime scene, wolf. and i think out of an abundance of caution, just to make sure in their investigation that this

14-year-old who allegedly killed a each was acting alone. because this student apparently didn't go home after school on tuesday. so where did he go? these are all the things that law enforcement right now as part of their investigation are piecing together, this time line. exactly what happened. what led up to this action in the school. on apparently apparently the crime scene there at the high school is in the second floor bathroom where they found blood. so this, you know, active crime scene, i don't have a problem with them shutting schools down in an abundance of caution. >> mike brooks, thanks very, very much. kathleen sebelius is taking a lot of pete for the obama care website rollout. has her background prepared her for this kind of scrutiny? brian todd has been looking into this part of the story. we'll be right back. [ male announcer ] this is jim, a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat,

not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine. [ gps ] proceed to the designated route. not today. [ male announcer ] for patients currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. xarelto® is just one pill a day taken with the evening meal. plus, with no known dietary restrictions, jim can eat the healthy foods he likes. do not stop taking xarelto®, rivaroxaban, without talking to the doctor who prescribes it as this may increase the risk of having a stroke.

get help right away if you develop any symptoms like bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. you may have a higher risk of bleeding if you take xarelto® with aspirin products, nsaids or blood thinners. talk to your doctor before taking xarelto® if you have abnormal bleeding. xarelto® can cause bleeding, which can be serious, and rarely may lead to death. you are likely to bruise more easily on xarelto® and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. tell your doctors you are taking xarelto® before any planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any conditions such as kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® is not for patients with artificial heart valves. jim changed his routine. ask your doctor about xarelto®. once a day xarelto® means no regular blood monitoring -- no known dietary restrictions. for more information and savings options, call 1-888-xarelto or visit goxarelto.com. for more information and savings options, thnot at the rings.looking. i can feel them looking at my thick, flaky red skin.

republicans demanding that the health and human services secretary kathleen sebelius, lose her job over the botched obama care website roll out. brian todd is covering the story for us. brian, sebelius really on a hot seat right now. she's certainly has a lot of political experience. she's been through a lot of pressure in her life. give us a little background. >> well, she does have experience dealing with controversy before this, wolf. that also relates to the arena of health care as kansas governor, sebelius tried to enact sweeping health care reform there with mixed results. she tried twice and failed twice to finance health coverage through cigarette taxes. now she did win as insurance commissioner in the mid to late 1990s, a battle with blue cross, blue shield to keep premiums down. but one of her opponents, former kansas republican congress mann todd tiahrt just told me over the phone he believes insurance companies departed kansas under her leadership because she made

it to too tough on them. there was a significant in regulations during her terl as insurance commissioner with which drove costs up for the companies up and they left the state. also as governor, there was controversy surrounding her, this is in the abortion realm, she vetoed a bill that would have placed severe restrictions on late term abortions. she is a catholic here so her pro-choice stance made her a lightning rod among some church leaders. conversely as hhs sect, she went against a proposal to make the morning-after pill pill available for young women. she's drawn controversy on some of these health care issues in the past, wolf. >> a know a prominent kansas friend of her families now turned against her. tell us what happened. >> there's political implications there. senator pat roberts, republican from kansas is a long-time friend of the family, he worked for keith sebelius, kathleen

sebelius's father-in-law when keith was a long time congressman from kansas in the 1970s. pat roberts was his chief of staff. keith sebelius pretty much hand picked roberts to succeed him. roberts was one of the first he turned on her, according to one of roberts' aides who said the last straw for him was when she went on this sort of political/speaking tour to promote the rollout, but that was, as the staffer put it, while the ship was sinking. tat was the last straw for roberts. some claim he's turning on her because he's got a primary opponent supported by the tea party and he has to appease that part of his constituency. that's where the politics play in. >> the politics of kansas. i know you'll have a lot more on this later in "the situation room." thanks very much. urgency ramped up in

a race against the clock in colorado after last month's flooding washed out roads, devastated homes, crews are rushing in to try to rebuild before winter sets in. our anna cabrera is joining us from lyons in colorado. how much progress has been made? >> reporter: wolf, there is definitely been progress, but still a long way to go. you can see huge deprbris piles like this all over town. there are still downed power lines, still no sewer service, yet the community spirit here remains unbroken with a strong

resolve to get back to normal. when you drive through the town, the devastation is undeniable. not a home in this neighborhood untouched. six weeks after the floods, parts of homes remain hanging and streets are still littered with crunched cars and mounds of muddy debris. the sound of hard work cuts through this otherwise quiet community, rebuilding has begun. >> initially, we said we're not coming back. we said, we're done. you know, it's time to move on. then we come back and it's like, this is home. >> reporter: this has been janet's home for 43 years. now, just a shell. volunteers from missouri helped them gut the place. it's now up to janet and her husband to finish the job. where do you begin in terms of trying to get back to normal? >> well, right now, this is normal. >> another new normal. doctors commuted by helicopter. it's just 25 miles to the town

of estes park, but right now, driving isn't much of an option. floodwaters washed away 85% of the highway through the big topson canyon. construction crews are working feverishly to make fixes. >> in some areas, we lost complete sections of the roadway for several thousand feet. >> just dropped off? >> just completely crumbled. >> reporter: 485 miles of state rotes and bridges need repairs. the estimated price tag, half a billion dollars. there has been a lot of progress, but clearly, there's more work that needs to be done, and take a look, snow already on the ground. a constant reminder that these crews are in a race against mother nature. the governor says the goal is to have all roads accessible by december 1st. >> this is an awful thing. there's good about a natural disaster like this and it's going to take a while, but we can't slow down, we can't back off. we have to go fast. >> nobody in colorado is giving

up. >> you're given a lot of bumps along the way and the good lord blesses us and says, lets. move forward now, and along we go. >> such an impressive attitude, really. we're hearing that from everyone in this town and across the state. we continue to check on the government response. we do know since the flooding began, more than $45 million has been approved by fema to help individual families with the recovery effort. and those we have been talking to say fema is doing a good job. wolf. >> let's hope for the best. ana cabrera, thanks so much. >> the once powerful grambling state football program is in deep trouble right now. cnn's elena machado has the story. >> they boycotted a game and made national headlines, but members of the grambling state football team say they have no regrets. >> there are many problems that exist. if no one says anything, nothing will become of the institution. >> on monday, naquan smith

surrounded by his teammates said the team will take the field this saturday against texas southern, a week after refusing to make jackson state. >> we did not quit on our university. >> this twitter account belonging to the tigers safety shows several pictures of moldy walls and ceilings, broken equipment, and flooring. their caption, see our struggle. the tweets seem to highlight some of the problems detailed in this grievance letter sent to university administrators by the players. the letter lists a series of concerns about the state of the university's football program. it also cites the firing of head coach doug williams after just two games this season. >> the conditions within the grambling state university athletic department, specifically football, are pretty dire. >> emmett gill said he toured the university's weight room tuesday afternoon and saw firsthand some of the problems noted by the student athletes. >> the gap between the haves and have nots is certainly exacerbated by a lot of the budget cuts we're facing in higher education.

>> according to university spokesperson will sutton, grambling state has seen a 57% drop in state funding in recent years. the school has millions of dollars in deferr ere ered main, so many buildings are closed or in dire need of repairs. sutton says this is the first time they have asked athletics to contribute to the bottom line, including a $75,000 cut in the football program. the university meanwhile could face tens of thousands of dollars in fines for forfeiting last saturday's game. it's unclear if the football players will be punished, but gill says players from the bigger programs should take note. >> think that student athletes in the s.e.c., the a.c.c., the pac-12, should take notice that when it comes to standing up for student athletes' rights, grambling state university is ranked number one. >> that report from alaena machado. adding to grambling's woes, jackson state is planning to sue

over the game that grambling canceled. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. i'll be back 5:00 p.m. eastern in "the situation room."
