5:00 pm
. tahank you so much for joining us. have a wonderful friday night and weekend. be sure to set your dvr to watch "outfront" any time. "ac 360" starts now. good evening. breaking news tonight is stark, simple and serious, the most powerful hurricane ever recorded is coming ashore. early yesterday morning, patricia was just a tropical storm and since then a monster targeting the west coast of mexico, part of a deadly storm system that could dump two feet of rain on texas. martin sal mart martin is in puerto vallarta. >> reporter: conditions may not seem bad but it's still early going. right now here it's primarily a rain event. the evacuations have been going on since yesterday afternoon. that's the big thing. they haven't had a lot of time
5:01 pm
to prepare. winds low and no sign of storm surge but the rains are continuing to grow. there is minor street flooding and this is the thing, this storm appears to be headed into land just south of puert puerto vallarta. if that's true, that would stop a potential human disaster of a magnitude you don't want to think about but this storm is going somewhere, and wherever it goes, it is going to be like a major tornado 20 miles wide. they are hoping here that the conditions are not going to turn into anything like that. but they are still holding their breath and because this is such a jewel for so many people and tourists, it's going to be a long and anxious night, anderson. >> and they said they just started evacuations yesterday. how are those evacuations going? as you said, it's a huge tourist vacation spot. >> reporter: it is.
5:02 pm
number one, you had to shut the airport down and a lot of time for people to book a flight and say let's get out. rather than shelter people here where it could have been far too dangerous, they decided to bring in as many, gets you into another major city to house people and most importantly gets you away from the devastating storm potential. we saw a lot going on and the other thing we saw coming in was it looked like they were trying to preplace earth moving equipment. they will need it to keep the roads open to get the first responders in. anderson? >> martin salthanks. she and her husband are celebrating their 12th anniversary. heather, how are you holding up? >> doing well. this morning i was really upset. i don't want to get emotional now but i was really upset just
5:03 pm
worrying about what was going to happen with our little girl in north carolina, but now we're pretty comfortable. we're confident the storm is going to hit south of us, so we'll probably get some outer bands that will probably be a category one severe tropical storm. it's projected to hit in about one hour is what we were told. it's heavy rain here at this point. 15-foot surge as far as outside. not any significant wind, but again, we're all kind of crammed in here. they got us in this room together they feel like is the safest place at the four seasons. they were concerned about another room, they were concerned the roof would get ripped off that's why right now we're in here. there is lots of people. i have a motley crew here with me, people from tennessee, new jersey, west virginia, california, all over the u.s. >> when you heard the storm was coming, i mean, what obviously put a big damper probably is the
5:04 pm
wrong use of phrase on your vacation, on your celebration, but did you think about trying to get out? >> well, we were thinking about that and i mean, really, anderson, i just found out about the storm yesterday. i'm a news hound but i haven't been checking my phone or twitter but a friend of mine said have you heard about this storm, patricia and i laughed it off but asked people in spanish and they didn't seem to be really concerned about it and finally, my friend kept talking to me about it and she was really nervous so i asked someone else in spanish and showed him the map and he really got concerned at that point. i don't think they had been paying a lot of attention, so maybe that might have been a disconnect as far as communication but after we really started to taking the initiative to find out, we started receiving communication and at that point, to be honest with you, it was too late. >> wow, so that's interesting. there wasn't a big buildup to this on the ground where you were? >> no, we were told, yo u know, we'll be fine. they haven't had a big storm since 1949, a huge significant
5:05 pm
hurricane and so everyone was kind of brushing it off like we don't, you know, we don't get bad storms here, we're fine where we are. we'll be safe. what they said to me is don't worry, it will be fine in spanish. >> so by then, it was too late for you to leave. do you know, do they have a generator? do they have generators there in case good chance the power will go out? >> we do have generators here. they are saying they can last for up to eight days at least and enough water for 11 days, i believe. we're just kind of preparing for that. i tip my hat to the staff here. they probably have their own families they want to be with but are here with us and providing food and water and have movies playing for the kids here and, there's been several pets here. i've seen several dogs they are taking care of and catering to, as well. >> heather, you're in a good place it seems like and i wish you the best and we'll check in with you on the other side of this thing. thank you so much, healther. >> thanks, anderson.
5:06 pm
reid timer is doing the opposite of what ordinary civilians are being told to do. he's not getting out of the way. what are you seeing where you are in texas? >> incredibly heavy rain and vehicles stranded and two to three feet of water. i'm on higher ground looking down at that right now. the creeks are overflowing banks. it's really bad here and keeps coming down, too. just gotten heavier the last five minutes or so as storms go over the same area over and over again. >> almost all of texas is under a flood watch with torrential downpours with some areas getting 15 inches of rain, right? >> easily. we had two to three inches an hour and coming down hard and raining for the past several hours at that rate. i wouldn't be surprised if we're closing in on ten inches in texas and after this i'll head towards houston as the tropical moisture gets entrained into the
5:07 pm
upper level low. there could be more rain fall rates down in the southern part of the state. for tonight, looks like the metroplex, waco will get hammered by this plume of moisture. >> this storm that's hitting in mexico, i mean, have you ever seen anything like this? >> reporter: i haven't. i don't think anybody has in the northeast basin and atlantic. it reminds me of hurricane wilma in 2005 where it rapidly intensified and had a pinhole eye that was two miles across. this is the same like an f-5 tornado, three-mile wide tornado but wider and moving much slower, so the same areas are getting hammered by 200 plus mile per hour winds and storm surge and landslides and a few days ago, i almost went with my friend to chase the storm but we thought it would go north of there and there is one road and if you're on that road, it's
5:08 pm
likely going to get washed out to sea. i want to live to chase many more storms so it's a good thing i'm not down there because i would be scared to death. >> if it scared you, that well tell us something. i want to get the latest on how the coming hours are expected to unfold. jennifer gray is tracking it all, jennifer? >> anderson, this just made landfall less than an hour ago south of puerto valla ar arkval. a category five storm, strongest storm to make landfall in recorded history in the western hemisphere moving to the north, northeast at 15 miles per hour, still containing gusts of 235 miles per hour, so still, very, very powerful. this is going to start racing off to the north in the coming hours and it is going to weaken considerably. it is going to bring a lot of rainfall across this mountainous terrain and what reid was
5:09 pm
talking about when you have terrain like this, a lot of mountai mountains, we are going to see the possibility of landslides. that's going to be the concern over the next day or so. it will be downgradeed to a tropical storm as we get into saturday morning so quickly racing off to the north. it is going to -- the winds will die down but it's going to hold a lot of moisture. the rain will be coming. we'll see 10 to 20 inches of rain and isolated amounts along the coast, six to ten inches of course, some of those villages could see more especially with the mountainous terrain and rain coming down the mountains and also that storm surge that's pushing in with this powerful storm. so here is the visible water vapor satellite. we are seeing that plume of moisture being sucked into the south and we are going to continue to see possible flooding rains across texas. let me show you on the floor what i'm talking about, this flooding story. first, i want to touch on the mexico aspect of it.
5:10 pm
you can get a closer look at the terrain. storm surge and rain washing down from the mountains so that's where we'll get incredible rainfall rates and we're also going to see the flash flooding and those possible landslides. what we're dealing with the in south, we have moisture coming in from this storm. we have gulf moisture and we also have an upper level low. these ingredients will come together and we'll continue to see massive flooding across texas. when it's all said and done, places like houston could have seen about 15 inches of rain over the course of this entire event. anderson? >> jennifer, thanks. just ahead, big news with donald trump's campaign, two new polls with one big surprise, mainly he's not number one and what we're learning about the hostage rescue that saved dozens of people from being slaughtered by isis.
5:11 pm
the possibility of a flare swas almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. humira can lower your ability to
5:12 pm
fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible. we thought we'd be ready. but demand for our cocktail bitters was huge. i could feel our deadlines racing towards us. we didn't need a loan.
5:13 pm
we needed short-term funding. fast. our amex helped us fill the orders. just like that. you can't predict it, but you can be ready. another step on the journey. will you be ready when growth presents itself. realize your buying power at open.com. where their electricity comes from. they flip the switch-- and the light comes on. it's our job to make sure that it does. using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. generating electricity that's cleaner and reliable, with fewer emissions-- it matters. ♪
5:14 pm
5:15 pm
they are losing, they are not stupid people. >> that was earlier this week in iowa. today same state, different story. he's not leading the polls. in fact, trailing in a pair of them. in the latest bloomberg politics survey shows ben carson ahead 28% to donald trump's 19 on top of yesterday's poll with carson ahead by eight. mr. trump is campaigning today in florida where he sat down with the lead's jake tapper. >> surprising news out of iowa where in two polls dr. ben carson pulled ahead, one by eight points and one by nine. what's your message to iowaneni why should they vote for you? >> i was surprised to see it. three nights ago we had 4,000 people and a love fres. i've done well with evangelicals and at the party and everything i don't understand the number. i accept the number. it means i have to work harder in iowa. it's just the same.
5:16 pm
i'm going to make our country great again and what we have with china, japan, with everybody is just incredible and nobody can do, nobody is going to be able to do what i do in terms of making our country wealthy again so we can do all the things we want to do including the military and vets and taking care of people. i'm going to have to work harder in iowa. i was very surprised to see the numbers. i had a lead that flip-flopped a bit with ben carson and i like ben but he cannot do with trade like i do with trade. he can't do with a lot of things like i do. we'll have to see what happens. >> you two disagree on a number of issues, immigration is one of them. are you going to contrast your position with him more? >> i think so. you bring up one. he's very, very weak on immigration and i'm very strong on immigration and i feel, you know, when i made the announcement, i took a lot of heat and everybody found out i was right, with kate, beautiful kate being killed with somebody
5:17 pm
that walked into the country at least five times, they say five but probably much more than that and the veteran, a 66-year-old woman raped and killed in california three weeks ago and just by an illegal immigrant again. so much. this is so much. and i brought it up and ben carson is very, very weak on immigration. he believes in amnesty strongly and he'll give citizen ship to people here and you can't do that and we disagree on things. he's not going to be able to do deals with china, japan. these countries are ripping us like nobody has ever ripped us before. >> joining us now, cnn political commentator, jeffrey lord, anna navarro, former regan white house and anna is close friend of marco rubio and amanda is former communications director for senator ted cruz.
5:18 pm
jeffrey, you heard what trump said to jake tapper, surprised about the polls and thinks he's going to have to or want to start to contrast himself to ben carson. how tough do you think he will be on ben carson because obviously ben carson's demeanor is different than other candidates and he's viewed as an outsider and among evangelicals, a tremendous store of goodwill. >> right. right. well, first of all, this is what you do in primaries and caucuses. we can go back to 2008 and hillary clinton and barack obama. we're going at each other hammering and she wound up as his secretary of state. this is a long history. this is how it works. that's what he should be doing. i spoke to somebody in iowa just yesterday and they told me in terms of evangelicals, as i've been saying they are not stick figures and this person close to the movement said their primary
5:19 pm
concern is not christianity per se illegal immigration and right there is a big difference between ben carson and donald trump so i do expect he'll do this. this is what he should do. >> amanda, do you see that, as well. one poll is an out liar and two not so much. not like he's at the bottom of the pact. >> jeffrey is right illegal immigration is a huge issue in iowa and killing jeb bush right now. we have to look at what changed in iowa for donald trump because we see his numbers dropping in two polls in iowa, but he's maintaining his lead nationally. so i started to look into that and the thing that is different is that the club for growth started airing negative adds against donald trump over the last month in iowa. they are hitting him on his form early liberal positions with health care, taxes and a single
5:20 pm
add on imminent domain resinating with conservative voters in iowa. i think you're seeing donald trump being hit from the conservative side on this having dramatic effect in iowa in one month's time. >> interesting. anna, under what circumstances do you see, you know, nearly majority of iowa voters, because that's what you get when you combine carson and trump supporters changing their mind and saying we don't actually want on outsider. we want an establishment candidate. it seems increasingly unlikely, doesn't it? >> i think you'll see a lot more activity in iowa. one interesting thing donald trump says in this interview is that he has to work harder. he has done a lot through his celebrity status. he's done a lot through the media and large events, but in places like iowa, like new hampshire, retail politics matters. shaking people's hands, sitting with them, learning their names, answering their questions in a close space and i think he might want to do more of that. we have still several months to
5:21 pm
go. there are many debates that are still left and they have been making a difference and i think we're going to see one next week that may again make a difference and, you know, there's a lot still to happen but certainly the window is closing. >> jeffrey, does donald trump need to, i mean one, the worst thing he can do is suddenly start recalibrating everything because what he's done to now has gotten hill this far. that being said, does he need to put more meat on the bone and flush out more detailed positions because -- >> i'm sure -- >> in listening to the speech, it is the same thing over and over again. >> yeah, well that's what they used to call in the regan day the speech capital s and that was the same accusation ronald reagan gave the speech no matter where he was and some of us there used to think he did it in his sleep. so that's not all that abnormal. >> a stump speech. everyone has one. >> more meat on the bones as you say, right, everybody has one-and-one other thing here, we're starting to edge into that
5:22 pm
political difficult period of the year known as the holidays. we're about a month away from tg and then christmas. i think we have the cnn debate on december 15th but the fact of the matter is the nation's attention span begins to shift to things like turkey and christmas shopping. and politics begins to take a second, third and fourth place here and that becomes difficult for candidates of any stripe to get through. >> january it picks up. >> amanda, ben carson, if people like what he says or not, his demeanor is mild and complicates how trump can go after him, doesn't it or does it? >> that's appealing. they like his cool, calm, collected demeanor but unsettling because he never seems to get excited at times. it will be interesting to see how he handles a front runner status. donald trump is going down because he was subject to criticism from the conservative
5:23 pm
side. ben carson is going to come under that same kind of skraut kn -- scrutiny. there is concern whether he referred women for abortion and foreign policy. he needs to develop positions on that, come out and say what he's done in the past and where he wants to go in the future of foreign policy and on everybody's minds because of clinton's long testimony about benghazi yesterday. >> jeb bush is cutting campaign salaries, certainly not confiden confidence-inspiring optics that was a fund raising jugger knot at one point. >> i'm over joyed to hear that news. you got to make course corrections. the bottom line is the political s scenario in 2016 is different. campaigns have to tweak their
5:24 pm
strategy and plan to navigate the political terrain in front of them. i am glad this is being done and the focus is going into the early states and less headquarters. >> always good to have you on, thank you, guys. we'll dig deeper into the evangelical factor. can it drag donald trump down and we'll look closer to conservatives. are the faithful convinced plus hillary clinton's big week and positive momentum after her debate performance and we'll go deeper on that, as well. where our next arrival is... red carpet whoa! toenail fungus!? fight it! with jublia. jublia is a prescription medicine used to treat toenail fungus. use jublia as instructed

5:28 pm
we talked about iowa before the break and the two leading republicans, donald trump and ben carson slugging it out. it is not a contest to win over evangelical christian voters. yesterday polling shows dr. carson with a serious advantage, 36-17 over donald trump among white evangelicals. the billionaire until recently has never been seen as specially devote is calling attention to his faith claiming the bible is
5:29 pm
his favorite and taking part in this last month. >> we stand over and pray for the next president of the united states. thank you. >> only two nations that have ever been a relationship with god or israel. father god, you bring this man into the oval office, i speak your blessing. >> prayer service in donald trump's office including from jews for jesus rabbi and other influential evangelicals. the question is how much demonstrations of faith are being received by conservative christian voters. joining us, david broad ddy, rul moore, author of "on ward." doctor, always a pleasure. you've long been skeptical of donald trump and the strength of any support he may have in the
5:30 pm
evangelical community. i'm wondering how you feel about the new numbers out of iowa. >> i'm not really surprised not only because of declining support for donald trump but also because of the support for ben carson. i think both of those things are predictable. i'm somewhat surprised that there is not more of a surge for ted cruz among that activist wing in iowa but i think there is time for that to happen. but it doesn't surprise me at all. >> doesn't surprise you based on trump's past comments or what you field all along? >> because of the way that donald trump is running the most intentionally secular campaign i've seen since perhaps howard dean. this is someone in out reach to evangelicals tends to be reaching out to the fringe of evangelicals meeting within the video clip that you just showed with prosperity gospel teachers on television that would be seen
5:31 pm
by most evangelicals in this country as heretics and not seriously as leaders. a long with just the personal pride that is certainly very entertaining to watch. but most evangelicals have seen all along humility as being a crucial aspect of leadership but i think that's one of the reasons why iowa evangelicals are standing with ben carson right now over donald trump. i think there are other candidates that are very attractive to evangelicals around the country. i think marco rubio has a real shot at winning over evangelicals. ted cruz is also doing quite a bit of out reach to evangelicals, but it doesn't surprise me at all. >> david, you've interviewed donald trump many times. you said there was the potential for him to make roads with evangelicals, what do you make of his numbers now? >> well, i still think there is
5:32 pm
opportunities as it relates to donald trump. no question about it. look, let's be honest anderson, every time the pundits want to write off donald trump, they have to take a moment because there is is egg in their face and this happened time and time again. you look at polls in iowa, 28-19% roughly, there is a couple different polls and factor in the margin of error but donald trump placing well in iowa. would anybody have thought of donald trump as a possible top three finisher in iowa and goes to new hampshire where he's stronger at that point, much stronger than iowa and into florida where he's doing well leading and the primaries where he's -- so the point is is that there is a road here for him but he's got to play it better with evangelicals and the way to do that quite frankly is talk about a couple key issues real quick. shutting down radical mosques is a winner or any candidate that talks about it.
5:33 pm
evangelicals will perk up and israel. >> dr. moore, do you think there is a way for donald trump to make roads with evangelicals or otheri issues you talked about that's not lane for him? >> he'd have to talk about several things, one would be issues to speak to religious liberty concerns and ambiguous statements about planned parenthood and the right to life and so forth, talked about appointing very, very liberal people as models for the supreme court. that needs to be addressed. questions of personal character. we have someone who is leading a casino industry that we believe is predatory and inmoral and then you have to have someone who is able to connect with specific concerns evangelicals have. i don't think that has happened
5:34 pm
yet. >> russell moore, david brody, thank you. up next, hillary clinton's long awaited benghazi testimony is over and instead of dragging her down, it seems to her supporters to be doing the opposite. also bill clinton heading to iowa to take a more active role in the campaign. why it may not have been the easiest decision for the clinton campaign to make. ♪ (vo) making the most out of every mile. that's why i got a subaru impreza. love. it's what makes a subaru, a subaru. can't afford to let heartburn get in the way? try nexium 24hr, now the #1 selling brand for frequent heartburn. get complete protection with the new leader

5:38 pm
hillary clinton was back on the campaign trail clearly in good spirits that seemed like a victory lap after her testimony on benghazi. >> it's been quite a week, hasn't it? [ applause ] >> well, thank you-all so much. i am absolutely delighted to be here as some of you may know, i had a pretty long day yesterday. [ laughter ] >> mrs. clinton testified for roughly nine hours yesterday, fielding often hostile questions from republicans on the panel and didn't lose her cool when committee members had very tough questions for her. her testimony came a day after joe biden said he decided not to run for president, decision he
5:39 pm
made after clinton's strong debate performance. today lincoln chafee jumped out of the race saying clinton's good week was part of the reason. this has been quite the couple days for hillary clinton, certainly supporters see it that way. what's your reaction on the hill to yesterday's testimony? >> it's funny, democrats when this select committee was being considered really pushed back saying they might boycott it from the beginning and i've spoken to a lot of democrats today saying thank goodness we didn't boycott it because who knew politically it would be such a positive for hillary clinton and even republicans now, republican sources were telling me today and members telling me today they got their you know whats kicked last night politically. by in large, when you have republicans saying it was not a good night for republicans and a good night for hillary clinton, it tells you something.
5:40 pm
>> for her campaign a major moment in fundraising, as well. >> it was. right after the 11 hours ended at 9:00 p.m., according to the campaign, in that hour between 9:00 p.m. and 10:0 oc0 p.m. the had the largest donations. they say it was pretty high and hillary clinton herself campaigning today talked about the fact they got a lot of new donors and those donors were small number donors, meaning they weren't sort of the big money people out there but just kind of regular citizens, democrats who were rooting for her. so again, never could have imagined that but i have to say last night when we were on the air when the hearing finally ended, there was a small chance that suddenly grew that she was actually going to come out and talk to reporters. once the clinton campaign realized that they basically couldn't do any better, it was a drop the mic moment, they said
5:41 pm
no, we're not going to do that. we're going to let it sit because there is no way to do better than what they think she did over those 11 hours. >> interesting. dana, thanks very much. 11 hours dana said, 9 hours actually testifying, there were breaks in there. he's scheduled to address supporters before a dinner in des moines. recently he's been taking an active role and involved a lot of weighing of pros and cons. charisma and campaigning skills were legendary which can be part of the problem. randi kaye takes a closer look. >> i have no confidence in my political field anymore. i've been out of it a long time. >> reporter: former president bill clinton down playing skills as a sure sure ra get, hillary.
5:42 pm
>> i don't know anything about politics and he would drop another bomb. that kind of bill clinton will be a tremendous asset to hillary clinton. >> reporter: van jones considers bill clinton one of the greatest defenders of his wife. listen to him on cnn with fareed zakaria. >> i have never seen so much ex pended on so little. the other party doesn't want to run against her and if they do, they want her as managed up as possible. >> he's one of the most popular politicians or political leaders on planet earth. you don't put somebody like that in a jar and hope they don't say anything. did he make mistakes, sure? >> reporter: mistakes like 2008. he said this about then senator barack obama's campaign. >> give me a break. this whole thing is the biggest fairy tale i've seen. >> reporter: only to explain later he was talking october
5:43 pm
obama's stance on the iraq war, not his quest to become the first black president. he compared the primary win to jesse jackson's successful campaign in the state years earlier, a comment that angered black voters who thought he was marginalizing obama. clinton tried to explain. >> i think they played the race card on me. this was used out of context and twisted for political purposes by the obama campaign to breed resentiment elsewhere. >> reporter: he thought the mic was off and went on to say this. >> i don't think i should take any [ bleep ] on that, do you. >> reporter: the former president was the one pointing fingers. >> you always follow me around and play these little games and i'm not going to play your games today. you have mischaracterized it to get another cheap story. >> the black community forgave him when obama won and since then he hasn't made the
5:44 pm
mistakes. >> reporter: a poll shows bill clinton with 65% favorability. why not put him on the trail sooner? he takes all the oxygen out of the room and fear he could steal the spotlight from his wife. he tends to connect better with voters than she does and is tremendously popular, advantages that outweigh the possibility of him going rogue. randi kaye, cnn, new york. up next, what the pentagon is saying about a fallen hero, the first u.s. combat death in iraq in four years, how he and others helped rescue isis hostages minutes away from execution. an update on the breaking news, a monster hurricane striking mexico and rain falling in texas, a lot of rain is possibility. we'll get the latest ahead.

the great beauty of owning a property is that you can create wealth through capital appreciation, and this has been denied to many south africans for generations. this is an opportunity to right that wrong. the idea was to bring capital into the affordable housing space in south africa, with a fund that offers families of modest income safe and good accommodation. citi got involved very early on and showed an enormous commitment.
