>> what a wonderful story. so sad but so inspirational. thank you for joining us. be sure to set your dvr to watch the show at any time. "ac 360" starts right now. good evening. busy night in politics with sarah palin out on the campaign trail linking president obama to her son's alleged domestic abuse incident. we begin with breaking news. if you're one of 65 million americans tonight, you could be in for a crippling winter storm. no exaggeration. that's the national weather services word, crippling. snowfall measured in feet, not inches and the danger zone is evolving. right now washington d.c. is in the cross hairs. this is what the last big winter storm did to d.c. nearly 18 inches in 2010. take a look. nowed a as much as another foot of snow to the picture and that could be in store. that's why we begin tonight with tom sader. how bad is this expected to get,

tom? >> anderson, the records in washington d.c. go back 13 two years. there have been three storms that have been over 18.5 inches and this is probably going to be in the top three if not surpassed the 28-inch total of '22. blizzard watch in effect and this will become a warning. in blue are winter storm watches there are several states, 65 million. a conservative side would say maybe a million people lose power because the storm we're watching is pushing out of colorado. there has been a little precursor here, light snow to remind everybody old man winter means business here. coming out of colorado doesn't look impressive. still waiting, anderson, for the storm to get its act together and define itself and the ielci sets up from arkansas to tennessee and kentucky. that's going to be bad enough with downing of power lines and trees before the snow even really starts to ramp up on friday evening and through the day on saturday. this is going to be a big mess. a lot of records will be broegen

here. >> it isn't just the snow, it's the wind speed, as well, right? >> that's true. that's where the energy moves across the southeast will transfer energy, become a nor'easter. think about it. when you have a foot, two feet of snow, maybe isolated three and wind gusts over 40 miles per hour, 50, 55, maybe 60 in a few locations. so again, that will aid to more in the way of power outages but then again, we got a full moon on saturday with high tides saturday morning. so significant coastal erosion and coastal flooding. again, when i show you the models of the amount of snow they have been consistent for several days putting the bull's eye in the northern virginia area from d.c., i-95 to philadelphia but cuts off in new york city. an idea of the latest model. this just came out. and the gfs model. 30 inches. new york city's model dropped

from ten to seven and again, this is one model drops 20 inches as well washington d.c. get that forecast is accurate. because of significant ingredient and cut off from the snow from parts of new jersey and i think for boston but this is going to be a colossal storm. to stormy weather and sarah palin headline obviously endorsing donald trump supposed to make big headlines campaigning with him this morning in iowa. instead, her son's legal troubles kept her from hitting the stump in tulsa, oklahoma where she made big headlines anyway. who she blamed for his troubles. cnn jim acosta joins us. sarah palin's second day on the campaign trail. what did it have in store? happened. >> you're right. she's a force of nature herself and wasn't only spending her time on the stump with donald

trump here at the university in tulsa, oklahoma to talk about the front runner. she was talking about her son track arrested on domestic violence charges this week but palin blamed that on her son's post traumatic stress disorder and said that was in part due to president obama's policies. here is more of what she had to say. >> so when my own son is going through what he goes through coming back, i can certainly relate with other families who kind of feel these ramifications of some ptsd and some of the woundedness that our soldiers do return with and it makes me realize more than ever it is now or never for the sake of america's finest that we have that commander in chief who will respect them and honor them. >> reporter: now, there is no question about it, anderson, a lot of veterans deal with ptsd but one top veteran leader was

on twitter earlier today paul saying that president obama hasn't done everything for vet trips but didn't cause this. >> wasn't at trump easi's earli event today. was the tone different? >> the campaign put out the statement when they announced sarah palin was endorsing donald trump and she would be with him today and she was not there, it was notable she was not there this morning and donald trump's stump speech was different. he went after ted cruz when sarah palin was not at his side and yet, when he and she came to the university later on in the afternoon, donald trump made no mention of ted cruz. we should point out ted cruz has been endorsed by sarah palin in the past when he ran for the senate. interesting he was tailoring the speech somewhat. the gop front runner did go after bernie sanders who has been really giving hillary clinton a run for her money in the polls and donald trump talked about that and wondering

what democrats are up to is one of the big moments of donald trump's speech day. here is what he had to say. >> sanders, can you imagine this guy a socialist/communist is doing well. no, no, he's beating hillary clinton. can you believe this? this guy is a whack job. he's a wha krcko beating hillar clinton. i want to run against her but i would really like to run against bernie sanders. >> reporter: the question is, if he does run against bernie sanders or hillary clinton or whoever, will sarah palin be the running mate? seems to be sending the signal all day long that's not going to happen and the question i think anderson, in the coming days while this has really fired up the conservative base and you should have heard the crowd inside the auditorium, quite something. whether or not sarah palin's endorsement actually translates into votes and i think we'll have the first indication of that when we start seeing state

by state poll numbers later on in the week. anderson. >> jim acosta thanks so much. in new hampshire, one more poll for donald trump to brag about. a survey showing him with a huge lead among likely republican voters 20 points ahead of ted cruz. jeb bush and marco rubio tied for third at 10% each. what are all these have in common is each and every one of them is attacked by donald trump, of course, most recently ted cruz and so far this attack seemed to only hurt them and help him. joining us to talk about that and a whole lot more tonight including the palin factor, cnn donna brazil, anna navarro and jeffrey lord. democratic party official and anna is a bush supporter and rubio friend and former top regan political advisor. the comments linking her son's domestic violence arrest to president obama and what she perceives is his treatment of veterans, what do you think of that? >> anderson, you have known me for a long time, so i'm just going to say it.

she's a liar. look, last year president obama put billions of dollars in his budget bill. we know most budgets are dead on arrival but the republicans in congress cut out $1.6 billion in services that could have gone to veterans, 70,000 veterans are receiving less care because they, of course, cut the budget. so i don't think she should blame the president. we should try to seek help for veterans regardless of if they have famous parents. i care for all veterans. i'm a daughter of a veteran. i think to go out there and insinuate barack obama is trying to hurt veterans when in fact he is trying to put more resources so that we can give our young and old veterans the care they need, that's just a damn lie. you can say donna brazil said

it. i approved this message. >> trump has the support of non-establishment types, it's member of the establishment yet to rally around him. do you think teaming up with palin further alienates him? a lot of them hold him partly responsible for the loss in 2008. a lot of people that support john mccain and feel he deserves loyalty from sarah palin are probably surprised to see her linking up with trump. >> notably senator mccain himself came to the defense of donald trump over the issue of senator cruz' citizen ship. so perhaps that was a signal to her it was okay for her to allow herself with donald trump. look, sarah palin is an absolute asset to donald trump or frankly to ted cruz had she endorsed him or to anyone else in a presidential primary in iowa as i can it was ralph reid today with the christian coalition said that she was like the gold

standard or something to that affect with a lot of these folks. that's true. she's very, very popular with these folks. i understand that she's not popular universally all throughout the country. she does have her fans. a lot of them will be voting in these caucuses and primaries yet to come, and so she's a big asset for them. >> jeff, do you believe her when she links her son's, you know, arrest and domestic violence charges, which i believe have been inside her house if i'm not mistaken. >> wow. >> do you believe her when she links that to president obama? >> well, i mean, what she's doing is i hear this is we have had a huge scandal in the v.a. and contrary to my friend donna, the democrats ran the congress and thus the budget situation for the first two years of the obama -- >> i guess i'm asking -- >> talking about the 215, 216 budget. if you want to go back to 2008,

2009 -- >> donna -- >> we're talking about the bud debt -- >> donna -- >> jeff. >> donna, we're talking about structural deficiencies -- >> we both agree about that which has been bipartisan terms. look, i'm a daughter of a veteran. you know, that jeff. >> it's a simple question -- >> sarah palin's son should be held responsible for his own behavior. what happened to personal responsibility. >> i'll let jeffrey answer. >> of course he should be held responsible for his personal behavior but we have been told time and time and time again that there is a serious problem within the v.a. treating veterans and i think that's the point she's trying to make. >> no, that's not the point. she's directly linking -- >> drink the water, jeff. >> -- wondering do you personally believe that's fair to do. >> anderson, respectfully i don't agree. i think she's saying the government is not treating these veterans right.

her son has this problem. it should be dealt with and she's extrapolating that to the larger treatment of veterans. >> anna, what do you think of what she says? >> look, anderson, i traveled with sarah palin some in 2008 during the mccain campaign and observed her to be very close to her children. this son was serving, but her daughters and the younger son would travel with her. you know, i think what you're hearing is what is going to be the legal defense. i think we got to be careful when we talk about this stuff. we cannot under estimate or under value the importance of ptsd. we also cannot under estimate under value the seriousness of the issue of domestic violence. i think that -- >> i agree. >> it needs to be treated with incredible seriousness and i wish it would be treated without it going into a political food fight and part of a presidential campaign. these are serious issues. there is a lot of people suffering. veterans are suffering with ptsd and families and a lot of spouses suffering today, tonight

as they watch this from domestic violence for the love of god let us not politicalize these issues. >> let's listen. >> the question always asked of me, who do you have in mind and i didn't think about v.p. right now and i just want to win as far as sarah is concerned, never ask me about that. never asked me about anything else, just wanted to support and it's such an honor because as you know very badly so many people are so disappointed that she didn't support them, but certainly, there would be a role somewhere in the administration, if she wanted it and i'm not sure that she does want that. there would certainly be a role. >> clearly, anna, leaving the door open to some kind of a role in a trump administration. >> well, you know, what is old is new again. look, i will tell you i think having machine in the mccain campaign that sarah palin ended up being it did cost him some

votes in some areas of the do country and brought him some votes. that being said, i will tell you this, the sarah palin i saw last night did that speech was not the same performer at the same level of the 2008 sarah palin. the convention speech she gave in 2008 was out of the ballpark. she was able to connect with audiences. last night to me, she sounded incoherent. she sounded disjointed. it was just the word salad going on. i think can she get her bearings again and into fighting shape again? yes. but i think that this sarah palin today is just not at the same performance level that she was in 2008 and well, lost. >> anna, look, i hope i don't cause you to have problems or discomfort with the republicans but i agree with you both on domestic violence and the seriousness of the illnesses that many of our veterans come back with and i also want to agree with you that i thought sarah palin was rusty. look, anderson, i was at the

republican convention and it was a four-car funeral until sarah palin was selected and she really energized. i've said good things about sarah palin. i subpoepport women in american politics and the fact that she's a highly-prized supporter of donald trump, that will help him. i think it will help with tea party types. i think it will help with evangelicals and others but, you know, i just think that this connection to obama with her son, that was just totally, i don't know, maybe she was just having a moment. >> we got to leave it there. all thank you. coming up next, jim acosta brought up this question. do voters really listen? how they have done with her track record. ted cruz credits her with his victory. >> children poisoned by the watt i they drink. water tainted with lead. the flint crisis. a 360 investigation what people knew about the danger and how long they knew without doing anything to help.

oh yeah, i'm all about more, teddy brosevelt. geico. expect great savings and a whole lot more. the headlines sarah palin makes but the real question how many votes did she get for the candidates. taking a look at the record. cnn's jake tapper. >> i love that donald trump does go rogue. >> reporter: she's always been supportive. >> i'm on trump's side. >> reporter: sarah palin made it official. >> the next president of the united states, donald j. trump. >> reporter: last fall i asked the former alaska governor about a potential cabinet position with trump that praised her. is there a particular area that would line up with your strengths, a position you would want to serve in? >> that's a great question. i think a lot about the

department of energy, energy is my baby and what god dumped on this earth. a lot about department of energy and if i were head of that, i'd get rid of it. >> we'll give them hell. >> reporter: the bigger question now is whether palin's endorsement will make a difference. >> he got the endorsement of sarah palin. yeah. >> yeah, when he heard john mccain said well, you're all set. >> reporter: conan o'brien aside for those candidates running against trump. palin support during their congressional campaigns was no joke. >> sarah palin jumped in early and supported land paul. she supported marco rubio. let me tell you something. i would not be in the u.s. senate today if it were not for governor sarah palin. >> reporter: congress is full of palin beneficiaries including arizona's jeff flake and iowa's jo joni who received the most money from sarah palin's pact since

200 ten, two thirds have won the seats. >> it's a major endorsement. she's the anti establishment candidate. >> reporter: can this famous friend of the under dog really boost the current top dog? >> palin-type voters are already with donald trump and it's not going to mean a lot of momentum. >> it probably hurts cruz more than it helps trump. >> reporter: in a conversation we had with sarah palin last month, it seemed clear she identifies with trump in the way that the republican establishment sneers at him. >> if we want to restore what's great about america, we have to win this thing. so shame on the gop establishment if they essentially boot a top tier candidate out. >> reporter: jake tapper, cnn, washington. >> joining us is rick davis who managed the 2008 mccain palin campaign. rick, thanks for being with us. you certainly know sarah palin. i wonder what went through your mind as you watched her up in the stage last night and today, as well. >> she continues to garner a lot

of attention wherever she goes and frankly, we haven't seen much of her on the national stage. so it was interesting that they packed the venue they did and timing. i thought it was smart on behalf of the trump campaign to turn her loose and obviously two days later we're still talking about it so it must be effective. >> i wanted to get your reaction from nicole wallace becoming palin's lahandler during the campaign. >> listen, i think sarah palin is interested in donald trump's career as a television star as she might be in his future as a politician. i think sarah palin squarely straddles the world of reality tv and the world of politics and i think zest problshe's interes replacing him in "the apprentice" or following him to washington. >> do you think palin has little desire to hold any office elected or appoint snd. >> she hasn't indicated an interest and haven't played any

role in this election cycle so far this year and didn't hint that she would and i mean, you got to believe what you see with her and that is, you know, she took this opportunity pretty late in the game to come help one of the many people who she has supported in the past that are part of this, you know, pressure trove of republican candidates. i think it was probably as much trump's ability to persuade her to jump in as it was her own desire to be a part of process. >> you know, when she tells jake tapper she might like to be secretary of energy in a trump administration. do you think she would seriously take that job? >> who knows. who knows if there will be a trump part. you got to keep focused on what is in front of you. the purpose what this is about, which is to boost numbers in iowa. you know, i think it actually will be helpful to him. it's not just so much how to help donald trump but, you know, a lot of votes at stake. there is a lot of votes at play.

ben carson's numbers are going down and those people want to find a place to go and by inserting her into that scenario, you know, her connection with evangelicals and her connection with the tea party certainly is a good gateway to getting some of the carson votes to trump. >> to your earlier point, certainly sucks about the oxygen from other candidates out there who end up having to respond to talk about sarah palin. >> trump is good about doing that on his own but you ignite him with sarah palin on a stage and i suspect tomorrow night we'll talk even more about this duo. >> do you think we'll see sarah palin on the campaign trail over the course of the next several months or her appearance this week, it critical for trump at this point but down the road, i mean n a more -- say he does become the nominee in a general election, how do you think she plays? >> you know, it's hard to say in a general election. in the primary it's clear. there are certain states her appeal is undeniable. you heard ted cruz talk about how there are so many elected

members. both in washington but also in the state houses that feel like she was the ignition that got them their nominations. nikki haley in south carolina one of the key early states was in third or fourth place, i think, last place in her primary three weeks from the primary and sarah came in and boom she wins. so will i see her in new hampshire? gee, i don't know. i would bet good money she would show up in south carolina. >> do you think looking back to the 2008 campaign, anna said it was a game benefit, you know, worked in some places, hurt in others. what do you think? >> she was having crowds of 60,000 people at her rallies until the day before election. i have a hard time believing there is lack of appeal with her in the election. with her introduce ten days later, we were up by five after being down by 15 and we stayed there until global economic failure. i'm not blaming anybody or

anything on a loss. a loss is a loss. i have a hard time pinning blame on sarah palin for what happened in the election in 2008. >> i appreciate you being on and your prospective. thank you very much. why donald trump says ted cruz is worse than hillary clinton and republican rivals are ramping up their attacks. the latest from the campaign trail in iowa as well as new hampshire. heart health, ...but 9 out of 10 americans... ...aren't getting enough important omega-3s. bayer pro ultra omega-3 can help, with two times the concentration of omega-3s than the leading brand. love your heart ... with bayer pro ultra omega-3. its intelligent drive is msystems...ng. paradigm-shifting. its technology-filled cabin...jaw-dropping. its performance...breathtaking. its self-parking...and self-braking...show-stopping. the all-new glc. mercedes-benz resets the bar for the luxury suv.

together, we're building a better california. welcome back. donald trump has new poll numbers tonight in a new poll. he's leading in new hampshire by 20 points, campaigning in iowa today kept up his attacks on his closest competitor ted cruz. >> and he said with being a canadian citizen, she said oh, i didn't know that. how did he not know that? then he said with the loans, oh, i didn't know that. smart guy. he doesn't know that? yeah, that's worse than hillary when you think about it mr. trump wasn't the only one taking shots at cruz today. bob doll told "the new york times" his party would suffer losses if cruz is the republican

nominee. sunlen joins me. >> reporter: it's interesting. ted cruz today seemed to go out of his way to spent this image that everything is okay really trying to taylor his spin and capitalize in his own way on this bad news cycle that he's had for the last 48 hours but specifically on bob doll's take down that coupled with the iowa of governors take down yesterday we've seen ted cruz shift into his comfort zone as a candidate, someone that can argue this is proof he is the real anti establishment and republican in this race. here is how he responded here earlier tonight. >> and we're seeing something remarkable happening in this republican primary. right now, the washington establishment is abandoning marco rubio and made the assessment marco can't win this race and the washington establishment is rushing over to

support donald trump. we're seeing that happen every day and mr. trump is welcoming the support of the washington establishment and indeed mr. trump said that they should support him because he said ted won't go along to get along. he won't make deals with the democrats. well, i don't think there are a lot of republicans that think the problem with republican leader ship is that they are unwilling to make deals with the democrats. the problem with republican leadership is they make deals on evening. they surrounder at the outset and sand for nothing. >> reporter: so this is the argument ted cruz is trying to make and really you saw him there trying to take down marco rubio and donald trump and tie them both in the one-two punch of the establishment wing at the same time holding up his badge of honor and anti establishment badge within the party, as well. >> i mean, his momentum, does he still have, i mean, i assume

he's getting good crowds and people coming out to see him. >> he is. he has had a big crowd here in new hampshire today he cancelled two campaign events. he had to return to d.c. today to cast a vote in the senate and certainly that coupled with his bad news cycle knocked him off his message. it's never a good idea as a candidate to have to be explaining of something or really reacting to something that somebody else has said about you and that's exactly what ted cruz for the last 48 hours has had to do, respond to sarah palin, respond to bob doll, respond to the iowa governor. that's not the position where the candidate wants to be in. they want to be pushing their message in the final leadup in new hampshire and iowa for ted cruz. >> thanks very much. with showed you today's polls and the big question what is happening on the ground. will voter enthusiasm and turnout surprise everyone in the republican race? john king is on the ground in iowa talking to his sources and reporting that out senior washington correspondent jeff zeleny is there digging into what could be the shifting sands

in the democratic race. john, the people you've been talking to in iowa, what are they telling you? are you hearing? >> reporter: first and foremost, anderson, everybody, democrat, republican, clinton, sanders, cruz, trump know the clock is ticking. we're 11 days and five hours away from caucus day. the bigger crowds at the phone bank, bigger urgency. we were in davenport today where back in 2008 she thought she would win. hillary clinton is inside this hall now. you hear it in her voice. she's attacking bernie sanders quite vigorously. let me take you inside the fascinating move. bob doll's decision to come out and say cruz would be worse than trump. boll doll has ai ishistory in i. they want to beat and kill ted cruz here in iowa because they believe if he doesn't win here and they have polling to back it up they think trump will be stronger in the south and cruz will not be able to rebound in the march primaries. they have made this calculations

but most have made this calculations they believe both trump and cruz would be harmful to the party in the general election but think if it's trump, it's one cycle. they wash their hands of him and he's gone. he will blame the establishment and try to run again. this strategy, bob doll has a history here in iowa and the iowa senator came out today remember it was governor branstad, they hope it destroys his campaign. >> jeff, you've been following clinton and sanders this week neck and neck in the poll there is in iowa. clinton really pushing the electability. how is that resinating with voters? >> anderson, it reminds me so much of eight years ago. she in the final days of that campaign was pushing electability, as well. we saw in a television ad today. she went through all of her experience from first lady to senator to secretary of state in a 60-second ad trying to drive home to iowans that she is the most electable. she's the one who can stop

republicans from winning the white house but the problem here is for her the challenge for her is iowa democratic caucus goers are true believers. you talk to voters that bernie sanders rallies and say look, we like what he has to say and like his ideas. we don't hate hillary clinton. we like her fine but love bernie sanders. that's what hillary clinton is trying to cut through here the ideas, the true believers. so a pragn argument doesn't alw work. she tried it eight years ago and didn't work. senator sanders isn't senator obama but the sense, the excitement i see attending the rallies is right now on the sanders side. >> john, when it comes to gop candidates and evangelical out reach, you've also been talking to people about that. what have you heard? it's fascinating when you look at the numbers. >> anderson, perhaps the biggest slice of the republican side four years ago, 57% of caucus goers said they were born again evangelicals. so we do know that more than

half and maybe as many as 60% on the republican side are going to be white born again christians. i'm about an hour away from a conversation with pastor joe brown leading this 99-pastors for ted cruz. 99 counties in iowa. he says they will have 160 in all but wanted a pastor in each county he believes and a phone call tomorrow and prayer meeting with senator cruz next week. he believes they can deliver 30,000 voters on caucus day and they believe that can make the difference but trust me, they understand the establishment attacks. they understand the power of trump's appeal here and anderson, as cruz evangelical move and they feel that urgency, he has private meetings planned. he doesn't think he can beat ted cruz but in a close race, it's about the margins. >> john king, jeff zeleny, thanks. the man-made disaster in flint, michigan. the water was toxic. the question is who knew and when did they know it?

today in detroit president obama talked about the public health crisis unfolding. a toxic tap water in flint, michigan. >> i know that if i was a parent

up there, i would be beside myself that my kids' health could be at risk. that's why over the weekend i declared a federal emergency in flint to send for resources on top of the assistance that we already put on the ground. >> parents in flint are beside themselves in the president's words because their children were poisoned by tap water officials insisted were safe. denied and ignored for well over a year. the governor have admitted they were slow to respond class-action lawsuits filed and investigations launched. tonight, who knew what and when they knew it. that is starting to come into focus. the latest. >> reporter: melissa mays says the ominous change in the water was particularly noticeable at bath time. >> it's a yellow and foam and would smell like open sewer and

we're told we're getting used to the new system, it's safe, it's okay. >> reporter: it wasn't okay. far from it. fingerpri flint's tap water was laced with lead. the state knew about it and did nothing. the trouble began two years ago when the state decided to switch flint from detroit's drinking water to a new system but the new system wouldn't be ready for two years. in the meantime to save money, they switched to the flint river water. >> three, two, one. >> reporter: that first decision turned out to be a mistake. as did nearly every step the state took after it. michigan's department of environmental quality shoulders much of the blame what a prelim narcoticty task force reports a public response. at the time the state agency told flint it didn't have to add an anti corrosive agent until two six-month monitoring periods

had been conducted. in other words, they were willing to wait a year to see whether the water was safe. all the while, highly corrosive river water flowed through the city's lead pipes leeching lead and other dangerous metals into the water supply and what came out of the tap in many homes was toxic. almost immediately residents started complaining. their water was brown. some people developed rashes, became sick. early test revealed fecal bacteria so the city and state officials added chlorine to the water supply and told people to boil their water. both mistakes which can actually increase the level of lead. >> i built this place with my tax money. >> reporter: at city meetings residents were repeatedly told the water was safe. >> we found the worse lead water contamination i've seen in 25 years and believe me, i've seen a lot. >> reporter: residents didn't find out about the lead until

this man stepped in. mark edwards is a virginia tech researcher who tested the water early last year. >> it was very scary to see the levels of lead that were hazardous waste coming out of her tap water. >> reporter: that's right. the lead levels in one home were so high water from the tap could be considered hazardous waste. his testing led to this epa memo, an interim report leaked last summer that said the high levels of lead in the water were especially alarming because the state's water testing was flawed, so the true lead levels were probably much higher. >> we were just waiting for the appropriate authorities to help flint residents to enforce federal law. >> reporter: when flint's former mayor asked the epa for more information, he was shut down as you can see in this e-mail exchanged by cnn. the epa regional director writes the preliminary draft report should not have been released

outside the agency, and that only when the report is revised and fully vetted will it be shared with the city. but that wouldn't happen until months later. meanwhile, families were still drinking water poisoned with lead. the epa blames the state saying in a statement to cnn what happen in flint should not have happened and that the epa's ability to oversee was impacted by failures and resistance at the state and local levels. the state was continuing with its own mistakes, according to mark edwards, butchering around a water testing. they not only tested the wrong homes, but altered the reports eliminating tests from two homes that would have shown toxic levels of lead. the state says the changes were legitimate. >> they fabricated a report that made it appear like flint was passing the lead and copper with flying colors. >> reporter: in the fall, the government admitted there was

lead in the water and flint was switched back to detroit's water supply. but it wasn't until earlier this month that the state of michigan started bringing in bottled water and declared a state of emergency. >> sarah, the governor released several e-mails today, several of his e-mails. what did they say? >> reporter: anderson, state officials were concerned about the state of flint's water infrastructure before this crisis began but they kept deflecting blame as things got worse here in flint at times even blaming the people who live and work here in flint. the governor's former chief of staff saying this, the water certainly has occasional less than savory aspects like color because of the apparently more corrosive aspects of the hard water coming from the river. some of the flint people respond by looking for someone to blame instead of working to reduce anxiety. we can't tolerate increased lead levels in any event but it's

really the city's water system that needs to deal with it. of course, anderson, we know it was actually the state, not the city making these decisions and the governor earlier this week conceded that it is not unfair to call this crisis his hurricane katrina. anderson? >> those e-mails are infuriating. how are they planning to fix the problem? >> here is the thing. the state house today approved a $28 million to come to the city of flint but immediately criticized as being far too low, the modest estimates what it will take to replace the infrastructure. it will take between 50 and $75 million to replace the damaged pipes. the mayor here in flint saying it would cost between one and $1.5 billion to take care of all the other things that you need to combat lead poisoning like early childhood education and nutrition. this in a city that doesn't even have a grocery store, anderson. >> thanks very much.
