in the bronx. that's it for "fox news sunday." a fox news alert. we are waiting a news conference from columbia, south carolina, where governor nikki haley is about to give an update on what is being called the historic flooding that has been gripping her state. we'll bring it to you live. i'm arthel neville. >> and i'm eric shawn. the forces of nature are dealing a horrible hand to south carolina. described as catastrophic, happening once, we're told, in 500 years. south carolina under assault right now as the record-setting rain continues. president obama declaring a state of emergency there as the

heavy downpours washed out bridges and homes. emergency crews caught into action, carrying out, we're told, more than 100 rescues in the state so far. meanwhile, the state emergency management agency asking people to stay where they are, stay in place and call 911 for life-threatening crises only. but for those already out, look at this. kayaking is just about the only way to get around. with the flooding turning streets into rivers. now people are bracing for a second blow. trees and power lines could be knocked down in the next few hours. understand bl understandably, folks are stunned. >> i don't want all of this water. it's a hassle. >> and for the very latest, we're joined in columbia with

jonathan serrie. >> reporter: that's right. you can see here where they are trying to relieve some of the pressure at the electric plant and you can see the water is spilling over into the broad river and then, which is much higher than the normal level and on the other side of the trees, the saluta river is carrying all of the floodwaters from the foothills in upstate south carolina where they merge and form the river right around the gervais creek bridge. right now the bridge is capable of withstanding water at this level but if it gets much higher, local officials are going to be worried about the structural integrity of the bridge. and so they have closed it as a precaution. from here, the water flows down the river which changes names several times and much of the water will wind up in the charleston area. i want to show you video from earlier from charleston where

there is sporadic street flooding. you can be on one street in downtown charleston and it's completely dry. several hours later, it's inundated under a couple feet of water and a couple hours later we can see the water drain only to return again. and now i want to show you a live shot from somerville, south carolina, just outside of charleston. our photographer, kathy cochran, flowing water knocked over the curb and it's spilling about six feet below. it just shows you how dangerous the rushing water can be and how unexpectedly it can strike. in fact, statewide, officials here in south carolina say that they have conducted literally hundreds of swift water rescues involving people who drove into what they thought was going to be mild flooding only to become stranded. now, back here at the columbia canal, this is the main drinking

water supply for the city of columbia and because of the situation here they've declared a boil water advisory telling residents to boil their water vigorously for a minute before drinking it or cooking with it. back to you. >> john, clearly a desperate situation. the rain continues and, of course, we're waiting for governor nikki haley's press conference which will occur at any second. arthel? >> as jonathan just pointed out, this historic storm that is creating huge challenges there for emergency management as well. joining me on the phone now is lisa borsear, the public information officer for south carolina. thank you so much for joining us. talk to me now, we just showed some pictures there. how bad is the flooding, from your perspective, and what's the worst problem that it's causing for work crews as well as residents? >> our entire county is a little over 1100 square miles and pretty much every part of this

county is having flooding issues. all of the major thoroughfares are unpassable at some point. we're scared that residents are out and about and will not be able to get to their homes. we are urging people to just stay home. >> and can you tell us now about your preparations moving forward and do you have the resources to keep up with the havoc that mother nature is wreaking on your county and your state? our janice dean reported that the water is like taking a water house and pouring it into your state. >> it's reminding us of hurricane floyd back in 1999. pretty much there's nothing that we can do about the water that we're seeing now. our main focus today, tonight and tomorrow is safety. we're havinghose types of calls. so if people can avoid being in the waters, staying home and, again, major concentration tonight and tomorrow is life safety. >> so as you said, you can't stop the water or mother nature but you're asking the residents

to stay at home. do you happen to know if there are people stranded at this time, either in their home, are there any fatales at this point or risks? >> not that i'm aware of. we've had a couple of rescues yesterday when it comes to -- again, most of those were voluntary evacuations that we were doing. we'll see how the day progresses. we're in a little bit of a lull now but we know it will pick up. we've had to prioritize the public safety vehicles. all of our boats are heavy rescue apparatus and things like that to make sure we can get to those people if needed. we have opened up two additional shelters in the county so we have three and we're prepared to assist those citizens as needed. >> and are you able to get information out to your residents there in the community? >> well, we're using the media, social media, pushing out these

messages to people. the hardest thing we have is keeping up with the road closures because they are just absolutely everywhere within the county. that's why we're just urging people to stay put. >> do you have electricity? >> yes. >> so people are able to watch television and listen to the radio. >> not to say we might not have periodic outages here and there. we haven't had huge reports of a lot of downed trees and power lines but that could be sporadic, again, throughout the evening. >> but at the moment, you feel workers, crew members, you guys all have the necessary resources to help the people there and to eventually deal with the cleanup that is to follow. what would you like the residents to do to help you help them? >> stay off of the roads. it's amazing how many people are still driving around the roads in the county. they need to stay home. we are looking out and forecasting what we're going to do within the next 24, 48, 72 hours after this event. we do know that the river

probably will be breached and that's something we'll be dealing with in the midweek coming. so we have a lot of issues. >> before i let you go, you said that you have a couple of shelters in place. are those shelters on high ground or are they in danger of being flooded out themselves? >> again, that could change, you know, as the event unfolds. we have the shelters located in the areas that are most needed at this time. not to say that that could change. but we do work very closely with our local transportation authority helping us to move those individuals as needed. >> okay. i know you're very busy. i thank you for your time. i'll let you get back to work. i want to remind our viewers that we're waiting to hear from governor nikki haley. she's going to be giving a press conference at any moment. we'll, of course, take that live with the flooding situation there, historic flooding in south carolina.

number one, i'm not a mass sew kifrt. why would i continue if i saw the numbers dropping. >> that was president obama on "meet the press." mr. trump speaking about his tax plan, the crisis in syria and gun control. are his ideas resonating with american voters? the latest polls show a split fr for donald trump. what does this show about his candidacy? >> well, he's still leading in iowa and new hampshire but carly fiorina is at 8% and jeb bush is at 7. in new hampshire, trump is still in front at 21% but eavesdropped 7 points since september while

his opponents are up. fiorina jumped and rubio by 7. he's tied at 10% with carson who has also dropped a point. here you have two of the so-called political outsiders both showing signs of slipping in those important early states. eric? >> meanwhile, on the other side of the coin, hillary clinton, the front-runner there, appeared on ""saturday night live,"" which is a must stop if you're running for president. tell us about it. >> she had quite the highlights. her delayed take on the keystone pipeline but the highlight has to be hillary clinton imitating donald trump. she then went after his character on one of the sunday shows. here are the clips. >> i'm just so darn bummed. all anyone wants to talk about is donald trump. >> donald trump? isn't he the one that is like, eh, you're all losers?

he has been stoking, prejudice and paranoia. he's been really appealing to the worst instincts of human nature. i think it's dangerous, his demogogary is no longer amusing. >> and so far trump hasn't commented on these two appearances. let's talk about "saturday night live" and two things clinton did not touch on. her e-mail issue and her democratic opponent. there's just nine days until that first democratic debate and we still don't know if joe biden will be there. eric? >> she clearly is not backing down when it comes to the front-runner. a priest is announcing that he's gay and in a happy relationship. monsignor kryzstztof is calling for the clergy to take up the

plight of gays. >> translator: it has been very difficult and very hard. i ask that you keep in mind this reality that is difficult to understand for anyone who has not lived through an identical passage in their own life. >> and more on this story, amy is in rome. tell us more. >> reporter: hi, arthel. this announcement comes at a very difficult time. and that's really no coincidence as the pope kicks off a senate or council on the church in the modern family and they are really concerned about the media pressure that this coming out brings. in the meantime, pope francis, some say, has given off some mixed messages about where he stands on homosexuality. he's made very inclusive statements about gays and clearly has a lot of love in his heart for all humanity. but today, in his homily, he

reiterated the church's line that marriage is between a man and woman. yesterday, monsignor, who was also a member of the vatican's congregation for the doctrine of the faith, announced that he is gay, has a partner, significant that the church has not denounced homosexual tendencies and he's been fired. >> reporter: i will always be a priest. i cannot erase it. another thing is ministry. this depends on the church, on the openness of the church and its evolution as the church itself has to come out as a whole. >> this, after a lot of confusion on pope francis' recent meeting with kim davis, the clerk who refused to issue same-sex marriage licenses. this move seems to politicize

the visit and the vatican said it was not meant as an endorsement. it was a meeting, and not an audience and apparently the only audience the pope had in washington was with a former student of his who was openly gay and his partner of 19 years. arthel? >> amy kellogg, thank you so much. we're awaiting the news conference in columbia, south carolina. governor nikki haley is about to step up to the microphones in a moment to give an update on what is being called the historic, catastrophic and light-threatening flooding that is engulfing her state. we'll bring you that news conference as soon as she steps up. >> indeed, we will. plus, congressman jason chaffetz making a big move ahead of a crucial election and speaking out about new evidence of bad behavior in the secret service. plus, folks in one community say they are being fined for

displaying old glory. we're going to tell you why. i'm very frustrated and angry. i'm not sure why she finds it so offensive. here at the td ameritrade trader group, they work all the time. sup jj? working hard? working 24/7 on mobile trader, rated #1 trading app in the app store. it lets you trade stocks, options, futures... even advanced orders. and it offers more charts than a lot of the other competitors do in desktop. you work so late. i guess you don't see your family very much?

of the headlines. a deadly explosion in brooklyn yesterday, a tenant was moving out of a two-story building and disconnected the stove to try to take the stove with them. one woman was killed in the blast and three more people are injured from flying debris. that is now still under investigation. a flag flying in utah. residents being told when they can fly the american flag. one woman says she even got a $75 fine and a notice from her homeowner's association. the group's president said that she has resigned and that could include possible legal action. a doctor says former president george h.w. bush fractured a vertebrae and continues to wear a neck brace and doctors expected to make a full recovery and our very best wishes for bush 41.

today, here, i am announcing my intention to run for speaker of the house of representatives. >> there it is, utah congressman jason chaffetz announcing he'll run for speaker of the house and the secret service employee by leaking information to embarrass him. >> it's kind of scary. i fear that these people, if they do this to me, i'm sure it's probably not the first time. i'm a sitting member of congress. nobody should have to have that done. this is why almost two years ago we started investigating the secret service. they've had a series of mishaps and they are entrusted with guns near the president. and this is our most sensitive, classified information. they've got a serious cultural problem. >> let's bring in now chief congressional correspondent for

"the washington examiner." talk to me more about what was leaked and why was it leaked and why chaffetz? >> well, chaffetz at the time was investigating the secret service over a series of mishappemishaps that had nothing to do with him but the president and suddenly there was a move by 45 members of the secret service who were looking at his file and one of them said in an e-mail, hey, we should make this public just to make things fair. in other words, because he is calling up before congress and embarrassing us, we should put something out that sis embarrassing about him. chaffetz sent a written application in but was never interviewed for the job. so this was leaked to a couple of media outlets who wrote about it and i'm not sure why anyone in the secret service thought that chairman jason chaffetz, of the house oversight committee, wasn't going to try to find out

how they got that leaked information. again, it just points to a lot of the problems internally in the secret service that he's trying to fish out with these hearings and with the subpoenas he's issued and investigations going on behind the scenes, it's a mess with the secret service right now. i expect there will be more hearings about this, more discussions and the director clancy may himself be in trouble at this point. >> really? and do you think that chaffetz is going to get to the bottom of this, as to who leaked it? >> that's a good question. he subpoenaed the secret service before and now has cooperation from homeland security and it sounds like there will be cooperation. i think that we'll find out who some of these people were and they will be probably be held accountable although it's hard to fire people in the government but i expect heads to roll over this. >> susan, try this on for size. could this inadvertently work in chaffetz favor? he took some heat for the way he conducted the questioning of

planned parenthood presidency cecile richard last week. may this be a level of sympathy for chaffetz? >> it's a tough committee. you have to bring a lot of hot-topic issues that are always almost televised, planned parenthood, the irs, the secret service. he actually gave a really good response today. he said this isn't about me but, look, if this can happen to me, a sitting member of congress, this can't be the first time it's happened and he's underscoring a problem with mistrusti mistrusting government. >> what are people to make of this? >> i think people will look at the secret service and government and wonder, look, can we trust them? there's been security breaches where millions of people's information was hacked into.

there was the irs and breaches there and questions about targeting conservative groups. so i just think overall the trust in government has been falling over the years and something like this, i think, is a really chilling message that really nobody can escape, you know, perhaps government doing the wrong thing and that's clearly what happened with chairman chaffetz's chilling message. >> is there a fix on the way? >> i would say something like this is probably going to happen again. it depends on how many people are punished for it and whether they are punished for it. but i really do not have any faith that the government is going to start acting perfectly now because they have been caught red-handed this one time. >> susan, have to leave it there. good to see you. >> thank you. arthel, as we await the news conference about the flooding in south carolina, there are also new developments in the search for the cargo ship lost in hurricane joaquin. after days of no sign of this ship, coast guard crews say they are now finding multiple items

floating in the water. coming up, we'll interview the coast guard captain who is leading that search. plus, millions of americans up and down the east coast facing rain and floods. they say life-threatening situations are historic, deadly proportions. janice dean in the fox extreme weather center is next on where this dangerous system is heading. >> we just heard a loud boom, my wife and i, when we were watching a movie. a little scary.

this bale of hay cannot be controlled. when a wildfire raged through elkhorn ranch, the sudden loss of pasture became a serious problem for a family business. faced with horses that needed feeding and a texas drought that sent hay prices soaring, the owners had to act fast. thankfully, mary miller banks with chase for business. and with greater financial clarity and a relationship built for the unexpected, she could control her cash flow, and keep the ranch running. chase for business. so you can own it.

fox news alert for you, we're waiting for governor nikki

haley of south carolina to step up at the podium that you see in columbia, south carolina. she'll give a news conference on the historic and horrible flooding that's occurring in her state. officials describe it as life-threatening, once in every 500 years, the floodwaters just totally engulfing parts of cities and towns in south carolina we'll, of course, bring you her remarks as soon as she makes them. this is stemming from the low-pressure system battering the rainfall. more than 2 feet of rain has fallen in some parts of the state. certainly an emergency situation. floodwaters washing out bridges, roads and homes. high winds also bringing down trees and power lines. so far, at least fi five weather-related deaths janice dean has the very latest. it's just overwhelming. you can see the flooding. you're powerless when it comes

at you. what is the situation and will it get worse? >> civil emergency right now in south carolina. people are urged to stay where they are. you cannot travel. you cannot travel in the state of south carolina. of course, we'll bring you that press conference with the governor when it happens. this is, in some cases, unprecedented, over 24 inches of rainfall in parts of the state. that will go down as one of the mosts had store rick rainfall events in south carolina because of the system. and the potential for more flooding throughout the day and tomorrow things will start to clear out. man, we still have to go through the next 12 hours or so. flood advisory posted for much of south carolina up into north carolina and these are flash flood warnings, meaning that we have imminent flooding. look at the rainfall over the last 48 hours. we're referring this as a fire

hose positioned over south carolina and it's been there for at least three days, the plume of moisture that has a bulls-eye in south carolina and part of the problem is, we have this area of low pressure, this cut-off low and joaquin. so we have the counter clockwise motion from this hurricane and then you also have the onshore flow from the low-pressure center and it just continues to inundate south carolina. so as we go through time, the forecast radar through monday, things will start to taper off. but still the chance of rain along the coast as we get into the new work week. so this is not ending anytime soon and it's just been relentless. again, some of the rainfall totals are incredible. and the potential for more rainfall, i mean, 6 to 8, even 12 inches of rainfall from this computer model north of the charleston area. so prayers out to the folks who live in south carolina. with hurricane joaquin, still watching this as it makes a brush towards bermuda here as a

category 2 storm and that continues to move north and eastward out of the picture by monday, certainly. back to you, eric. >> you're so right. our thoughts and prayers go out to the people suffering from this and hopefully they will bear through the rest of the afternoon and be watchful of what authorities are saying, which is stay home if you're safe that's the best place to be. janice, thanks. >> you got it. well, the supreme court is set to confront divisive issues over the next nine months. the justices returning to the bench tomorrow for the start of their new term. it will be the first public appearance together since a number of high-profile decisions in june. the court's lineup includes regulation of abortion clinics in texas and yet another battle over president obama's health care overall and the consideration of race in college admission. an overnight fire has turned deadly. fire crews recovered the bodies of victims. we'll have details in the latest

update from the scene sf. plus, yet another gunman takes several lives. the mental health issue is being put into the spotlight. the next step our country needs to take. >> it's going to be a very long road, obviously physically but

mentally.

now? can i at least put my shoes on? if your bladder is calling the shots... ...you may have a medical condition called overactive bladder or oab. you've got to be kidding me. i've had enough! it's time to talk to the doctor. ask your doctor about myrbetriq to treat the oab symptoms of urgency, frequency, and leakage. myrbetriq is the first and only medicine in its class. myrbetriq (mirabegron) may increase blood pressure. tell your doctor right away if you have trouble emptying your bladder or have a weak urine stream. myrbetriq may cause serious allergic reactions. if you experience swelling of the face, lips, throat or tongue... ...or difficulty breathing, stop taking myrbetriq and tell your doctor right away.

(girls sing) safelite repair, safelite replace.

breaking news in the search for the cargo ship that went missing in the bahamas after being caught in hurricane joaquin. the coast guard tweeting a report that search crews are finding multiple items floating in the water at the last known position of that ship. this, after an airplane involved in the search spotted a life ring from the ship bobbing in the sea. 33 crew members are on board, including 28 americans. the ship has been out of contact for days.

joining us on the phone is a spokesman for the coast guard of miami's seventh district which patrols the florida straits there. commander, thank you for your time here. tell us about the latest on your search and the importance, if you will, of the finding of this life ring and the container from the ship as well as other items. >> good afternoon. for the first time in several days, we've had good search conditions. the weather today is significantly better, ideal search conditions. seas 1 to 3, unlimited visibility. so if you recall, yesterday our air crews were looking at 20 to 30 air swells and what we're finding is objects and items in the water, in the search area, containers. there's a report of an oil sheen. we can't correlate any of this to the missing ship "el faro" but it matches our pattern

development and the calculations that we put in to developing where the ship may be and finding that life ring late yesterday afternoon was a key development that certainly reinforced and validated what we were thinking where that ship or crew may be since it's been more than 72 hours since we've heard from the "el faro." >> i wanted to ask you, commander, are you in touch with the family of the crew members? maybe they have texted them? what about social media? have you checked for their latest posts? >> the coast guard is in constant communication with the family and the company. o again, i think it's really important to note that what we are seeing out there, this is the first day of really good search conditions. we're finding a lot of things in the water. but we cannot confirm or

correlate this to the "el faro." we have the coast guard cutters out there and aircraft out there. we've covered a tremendous area, in the area the size of michigan, nearly 70,000 square miles. so this is an enormous search. it's very comprehensive and challenging conditions but for the first time in several days, things are working in our favor. we've got good search conditions and we're hoping that we can find the ship. >> and that, of course, is fantastic news. of course, you have a great intel that you're, working with. you told me you're in constant touch with the family. does that help you in your search in finding out the last communication that they had with family members? perhaps they did contact them via social media, texting and what have you, even after your last contact with the ship.

>> well, our experts are in constant communication with the families. we follow all possible leads and they have several briefings and meetin per day as well as the company and we're looking into all possible auctions. this is very much an open and active search and rescue operation. so while we have daylight and good search conditions, we're looking hard to follow all leads and find that ship. >> you sound hopeful right now. i want to point this out, of course, the "el faro" can't be easily tossed around. let me interrupt. i'm going to go to columbia, south carolina, where governor nikki haley has started this news conference on the historic flooding down there. >> okay. when you're ready, give me a thumbs up. got it.

got it. got it. waiting on you. thank you very much. thank you for being here. we've got a full team here ready to give you a lot of information right now. this has been the one thing i want people to understand is when you think about what we're sitting in right now, we are at a thousand year level and we haven't seen this level and that's what south carolina is dealing with. the river is at the highest level since 1936. that's why we keep telling people, stay off the roads, stay out of the roadways, stay clear. we're going to talk a little bit more about that but i wanted to give you as much information as we have. there is a lot of hands on deck but the main thing about what we're dealing with is it is literally changing by the minute and so we're dealing with those issues as we can. the first thing i want to do is

turn it over to our climatologist and let him give you an update and then i'll take it back from there. mark? >> good afternoon, right now we're watching a consistent plume of moisture coming in from off the ocean. that's what has delivered all of this rain throughout the evening. we're continuing to see light rain, rain showers throughout the midlands. there are heavier showers in myrtle beach and we're expecting them to slowly diminish by midnight tonight. we'll maintain the rain, rain showers through monday. however, those will becoming less and less as we go through. we're anticipating another 2 to 6 inches of rain from columbia to myrtle beach and not anticipating any significant clearing or sunny skies until

tuesday. >> and thank you. that's important. regardless of where you are in the state, continue to stay home, continue to stay off the roadways. what we have right now is just a lot of resources at play. we've got 255 active troopers on the road right now, certainly with more available. we have 1,000 d.o.t. maintenance workers working every single shift as we go forward. we have half of our dnr officers activated. 320 officers on stand by. we had and really planned to have in terms of sandbags and making sure we had enough of that, we were looking at 200,000. we've used about 30,000 plus up until this time. we have activated 600 of our national guardsmen. we have 500 you a additional that are immediately available and on-call and 8,000 on standby. the national guard has been on call since thursday when we set off this state of emergency.

the calls for assistance has been 754 and that's just in the last 12-hour period. am i right? we're looking at 323 collisions just in that time frame. unfortunately, we've had three fatalities through this weather event so far and the rescue teams are really much at play here. we've got eight deployed. we're receiving four from tennessee. five more on the way. that's something that we're continuing to do and make sure that we have on standby as we need going forward. we have 11 aircrafts available for aerial rescues as they are deployed right now and 106 high-water vehicle. so there's a lot of equipment and people and first responders on the roads. that's why we need everybody to stay off the roads. other states have been incredibly helpful. i just communicated with governor pat mccorey who has said he will help in any way

that he can from north carolina. we've already received four national helicopters from north carolina. the incident management team is on its way from florida. that's been helpful. but the federal resources have been here since thursday and that's been unbelievably helpful. we have a coordinating officer here on the ground, the fema incident management team, swift water rescue teams coming in from ft. bragg and then helicopters on the scene. so our goal is all hands on deck. what we are going to continue to say is if you are in your house, stay in your house. this is not something to be out taking pictures of. this is not something you want your kids playing in. the water's not safe and a lot of areas across the state where you see this deep water, it's got bacteria in it. so stay inside and don't get in there. we've seen areas of the interstate that are right now clear but there will be a patch where it goes and gets real

deep. you're going to have to turn around. it's not worth doing it. we're in the process of closing all of the interstates around the columbia area. that's changing literally as we go. it is not good to get outside. you will see, we're going to have another meeting and conference call at 5:00. i'm going to be heavily encouraging county offices to close tomorrow, which automatically we're going to suggest that schools close and the main reason for that is, this is not going to clear up until at least tuesday or wednesday. so what we need from a state perspective is give us the space that we need. i need all of my first responders on there. i need all of my utility crewmen being able to get through there and get power back on. we need to make sure that we have everybody from d.o.t. able to open or close those roads, as needed. right now we're looking at about 25,000 outages but our utilities have been fantastic at trying to turn that back up. some areas are easier than others but so much of what we

need -- this is heavy equipment on the roads and when you look at the high-water vehicles and all of those things, they need to be able to get through, in and out. we've worked very closely with a county and we know that they are going through a lot of issues. absolutely need everybody to stay home. myrtle beach has gone through a terrible time in terms of that. but this is an incident that we've never had before. when we dealt with the two winter storms before, we said this is the first time that we've really dealt with that. this is different than a hurricane because it's water and it's slow moving and it's sitting and we can't just take the water out. as long as it sits, we need to do the best we can by controlling the environment and situation around it. we are very much focused on maps and the maps we're looking at are what the status of our police and fire departments and schools and hospitals and shelters and where they are and nursing homes, very much focused

on that. we have one emergency room that is down for contamination. these things are changing very fluidly. there is an emergency management division office in every county and so the state has state officials that are going through a hard time. there's constant communication with this building which has every agency there. so we're going to continue to do that but i can't stress enough that we'll do our part this is really about the citizens of south carolina. stay home. tv has done a great job of telling what this is and not only that we have amazing websites that will give you everything. d.o.t. has a fantastic facebook page and then all of it, the fema emergency management division website will tell you really in realtime what we're

seeing, the flooding, what we're expecting to do and all of those things. the one thing i'd ask secretary hall to do is to take precautions through this entire time, not about waiting until something happens but getting in front of it. so we're closing roads. if we think there's going to be flooding, we're closing the roads. we've been doing that proactively just to discourage anybody from going that way and then i'll reiterate again and i know that director smith will do that, if for any reason you're in your car and you're driving, turn around, don't drown. you're going to get stuck. all right had three fatalities and that's three too many. that's three people we needed to stay home that didn't. three people are going to add to what i had to say and we're going to start with general livingston. >> thank you, governor. the national guard and allstate

agencies are supporting county and city efforts throughout the state focusing on safety issues, rescue operations, evacuations and detouring the public away from areas of danger. then we are concentrating on preservation of infrastructure and then finally we'll start turning around and restoring infrastructure. if you see a lot of water going by and nobody is there, that doesn't mean that we are not working. we are over where people are in need. we just completed two aerial rescues in richland and sumpter counties. and we are working down in charleston and now working into lexington and richland county area. so if you see an incident, call your county, call 911 and it will go through that county

lightning fast and get to the proper resources. we have a mother and her child stranded, a rescue worker tried to get to him. he got stranded and so we used an aerial rescue to get all of them and then started picking people off rooftops. so this system is very immediate, is very quick. so make sure you keep your counties involved, call that 911 and let us know what is going on out there. the governor has talked about the websites out there. look at the national guard website. you can see what is going on rather than getting out there and possibly getting in trouble so we don't want to have to rescue you, too. >> now we'll turn it over to director simpson. >> thank you, governor. our role here is to coordinate the state response to emergency situations like that, like we're

having right now. essentially what that means is supporting support to the local authorities when they need additional resources and can't respond within their own confines. that's their primary role right now. we actually have 80 requests. we have fulfilled about ten of them so far. some of them are pending. we have a number of state agencies working a number of issues right now and high-mobility vehicles. everything that we use during a disaster situation. we have personnel that are embedded in the counties that are most can fraught right now and basically that helps facilitate the request and make sure that we've got an on-the-ground presence to take care of whatever happens down there. also, before the event we did a great deal in terms of staging events, staging personnel, rather, and making sure that we

can respond quickly because basically that's what we want to do. once we do get the request, we want to be able to reduce the response time. so thank you very much. >> i wanted to add something to director simpson's remarks. a lot of this was preplanned as we got the weather reports early on and we started bringing resources in on thursday. we have excess resources waiting for assignments right now. so the resources are there do not be concerned that we're going to run out of resources. we are going to be prepared for future missions so resources are in good shape. >> thank you, general. now we'll turn it over to secretary hall of d.o.t. >> thank you, governor. with regards to the transportation network in the

state, we have obviously closed numerous roads and bridges in the state due to flooding issues and concerns about the structural health of our bridges several of our bridges are under water currently. we have not had an opportunity to determine when and if we can implement the new structures. the charleston area, the georgetown area continues to be hard hit and the midland area currently in the state, columbia area in particular and basically the pd area of the state as well with regard to road and bridge closures. we have several engineers in addition to our maintenance employees out on the roads and bridges checking the situations. if there's any doubt whatsoever, we're going to go ahead and close the facility to make sure that it's safe and public health and life is paramount in this situation and we're not going to risk any loss of life which

regards to infrastructure. along those lines are major facility sites. i-26 remains closed at this time. heading into charleston, i-95, the section between florence all the way down to i-26 is in the process of being closed and rerouted. i-126 heading into downtown columbia, the large bridge there over the broad river, we're closing that as well and then a section of i-20 along monticello road in the columbia area has already been closed and we're expecting the need to close portions of i-77, additional portions of i-26 and additional portions of i-20 in and around the columbia area due to rising water levels and just being able to have people drive through water and not have additional risks. we're continuing to assess

streets downstream from the dam. again, safety is our top priority and we request that unless you absolutely have to for emergency situations, we request that there's no travel on the roads at this time. governor? >> thank you, secretary hall. now we'll turn it over to director smith with the department of health and safety. >> thank you, governor. good afternoon. as the governor mentioned earlier, please stay off the roads. as i said, that's the best advice that we can give you to stay home and stay off the roads. the governor also mentioned the phrase "turn around, don't drown." we seriously mean that. there are dangers underneath that standing water. again, downed power lines, branches and dangerous chemicals. we ask you not to use the water for recreational purposes. you never know what is in that water. we will continue to work with

you regarding road closures and diversion routes. this has been a tedious problem for us because the situations are changing. sometimes right away, immediately. so we're partnering with s.d.o.t. to make sure that the proper precautions are taken to secure those roadways. we'll maintain adequate staffing for this event. we're working with our state department partners and can tap into the resource to augment that as well. during the operational period from 6:00 p.m. yesterday to 6:00 a.m. this morning, we responded to 754 calls for service. 323 of those calls were collisions.

we've had five fatalities since the emergency declaration has been established. three of the five fatalities were weather-related. down in the somerton area apartment complex was under water. we coordinated that event and sent some of our partners to respond to that. agents seven dd two troopers responded to that event. i think we had over 300 being evacuated from that complex. with respect to dnr and berkeley, richmond and lexington counties, they are performing search and rescue missions, basically people are trapped in homes and cars. so whatever it takes, they are there performing those viable search and rescue mission

operations. with respect to esf, 13 sled, they are on standby in the event that we started getting calls of looting incidents. we'll work with local partners to make sure that we have the proper resources to respond to those types of incidents. and on a final note, i'm quite sure the governor wouldn't mind, i just want to talk about this thing right here. i think we're at our best doing this. >> thank you. so now i just want to address where we are right fou. it's not over. we're in the middle of it. we've still got easily another 24 hours that you should be extremely cave. we have more rainfall that's expected. this isn't -- while we're dealing with rivers and lakes and all of that, this was flash floods or historic rainfall, like we've never seen before. and so we are trying to deal with that. there are shelters out there.

we need you to know that you can call 911. you can call your emergency management office or go to any of the websites and they will tell you, even if we need one person to have a shelter open, we will do that f you're in a low-lying area, know that there are shelters available, there are people available. we have the resources to go out and help. the reason we want people to stay home, we want to save those resources for everybody that needs it. so i know we're hearing from a lot of people in the low-lying areas, we're trying to take them out and take care of that. for those of you that have had damage, i can't say how sorry i am. we have seen the damages to homes and businesses across the state. i'd ask the people of south carolina to lift up everyone in prayer. we're not out of this yet. safety is the most concern. we'll get through this. we will get through this but we

need everybody to stay strong, listen to your first responders and call if you need help and stay an extra prayer and let's home that south carolina can get through this. you should not plan on being on the roads anytime today or tomorrow. again, i'm going to advise that the county finally consider -- we're going to look at the maps and we need the school superintendents to follow the county offices. if the county is closed, the school office is closed. it's an automatic that state office is closed based on the county. stay in touch with your employer. make sure you have safety plans in place with your businesses. >> we've been listening to south carolina governor nikki haley saying it's not over yet, there's still 24 hours left of rain to come.

not this much rain has hit there in 1,000 years in the river there since 1936. nikki haley is telling people to stay off the roadways, saying that the water is not safe. there's bacteria in the water and mainly reassuring residents that they have all hands on deck, all of the resources needed to take care of the situation down there. >> it's just an astounding situation in south carolina. devastation with this floodwater. i-95 closed in one area. school and county offices said they wanted to be closed also tomorrow. it's amazing, they were saying that still they are expecting 2 to 6 more inches of rain on top of the floodwaters they have been dealing with there. five weather-related deaths and three directly relating to the flooding. authorities don't want any more fatalities because of this horrible situation in south carolina, especially in the low country. >> a horrible situation, indeed. our garrett tenney has been

following this live on the ground and he's joining us with the latest conditions. how is it looking now, garrett? >> reporter: well, safety is the number one priority and that's why they are asking folks to stay off the roads. this is why. i'm walking down the road here in myrtle beach. we've seen folks getting around here using kayaks. one appeared on this balcony. that's the norm here over the last few days here across myrtle beach but it's not just the flooding that they are worried about on the roads. they say that it's actually the roads themselves that may not be safe to even be driving on. take a look at this video outside columbia, south carolina. and you can see roads themselves are just so saturated that they are being washed away entirely by these floods. these pictures as well. you can see how the roads, the ground underneath as well as on the side is just carrying those

roadways away along with the safety barriers. the rain here is just the main problem. it's not just the roads here as well. officials say landslides and sinkholes are also going to be a problem going forward. and the problem is, the worst of it hasn't even hit yet. we are going to be seeing rain going into tonight, into the overnight hours and again tomorrow. south carolina has seen more rain in the last three days than it typically does in an entire season. that's why they are asking folks to stay home if you can, buckle down and just wait this out. arthel? >> garrett tenney, thank you for that live update. >> the governor is speaking from columbia, south carolina, the capital. clearly that city has been under siege because of this. right now steve is on main street. what's it like where you are there and it's going to get worse? >> reporter: eric, i'll give you a slow look around here on main street. the road collapsed.

the main road through the city of columbia, a five-lane road. it collapsed. you can see up ahead two more, three more cars stopped and their owners ran away. we heard the governor talk about how dangerous the roads have become telling people not to drive today or tomorrow. it's basically the structure of the roads that are really at risk in a number of places. i've seen cars drive by here in the past few minutes, some people trying to get a look, we've seen heavy downpours here in the last several hours. this is a picture of what has happened on the main road and that's what is happening in the more rural areas there. >> steve, what is amazing about this, you would not normally think that there is floodwater or a flash flood area, the road would look fine and suddenly give way underneath you. what other conditions have you

seen where you are now? >> reporter: you can see despite the five-lane road that has collapsed, there are cars still driving around. it's really incredible. and it's really unfair about what is going to happen cars are going by here. i can give you a look. you can see exactly what we're looking at. the other thing is, the roads aren't really blocked off. i'm here on two iphones. but the roads aren't blocked off so you have a giant hole in the road and people are still able to get to it and drive. >> this is such a vivid and visible example to show why people should stay home and how dangerous the conditions can be. not just from the flash flooding but also from the problem with

the infrastructure. they've got bridges out, floodwater areas and what else have you seen? have you asked, why are you out of this or why are you not home? >> reporter: it's incredible. this is a deluge right here. this is the main road. it's just gone here. you can probably imagine the scene here. the other three drivers simply abandoned their vehicles when they saw this kia collapse. despite that, i'm still seeing cars going by and people walking by despite no letup in the storm, eric. >> hopefully no one was injured in that, just the car damage. really, an example of why people should stay home as well as because of the contamination of

water. you also have downed power lines. water that is mixed with sewage. you don't know when you're dealing with floods that could overwhelm the area and dealing with the drinking water. >> yep. >> it's true. they are under a boil water alert right now. steve, i know that the governor said that they are in the process of closing down some of those roads. clearly they haven't gotten around to getting all of them. but we will check back with you later, steve, and i can see the water pounding on the pavement there as you're saying, you can't believe folks are coming out in it. have you spoken to folks that were in this kia? >> reporter: no. we don't know if there were any injuries or not but you can see there was a bit of delay. it's like a river is running off into it. steady downpour of rain and then this 12-inch road simply collapsed. this is the main road. you can imagine what the

situation is like. blinding rain right now getting dark and these roads are still open. >> hopefully they can get around to closing them because your pictures are definitely, definitely emphasizing the importance of people to stay off the road and exactly just how dangerous it can be there. steve harrigan, thank you. >> with nightfall coming, folks, it's going to get worse. the advice from the authorities should be heeded, stay home unless there's a dire emergency. there have already been five deaths, three weather-related because of this. nobody wants any more and sadly, 2 to 6 more inches of rain expected later on tonight. no letup until at least tuesday. this shows exactly what can happen and what people can face if they venture out in this. a good reason not to do that. >> thanks.

>> thank you, steve. all right. we're going to move on. this is still related to that storm. an intensive search is under way for a u.s. cargo ship that went missing in the bahamas. the "el faro" was on its way from jacksonville, florida, to puerto rico, when it lost power at the height of the storm. there hasn't been any sign of the boat. the u.s. coast guard says its air crews have spotted life jackets, life ring containers and an oil sheen near its last-known location. hurricane joaquin has veered well out to the sea away from the u.s. but it is moisture is combining with another storm system causing havoc for parts of the east coast. brian llenas has the latest on the missing ship. what else can you tell us, bryan? >> reporter: the good news s. the u.s. coast guard is spotted

a life jacket, oil sheen and a cargo container from that today. and the coast guard has not recovered the items yet and have not been able to confirm if they are from the "el faro." the spotting of the objects means that the search crews are looking in the right area for the ship. yesterday, the coast guard did spot and recover a life ring from "el faro," 75 miles northeast of the last known location in and around the crooked island when the ship lost power on thursday morning. the coast guard has now searched 93,000 square miles. that's an area about the size of michigan. the search conditions have been very challenging thanks to hurricane joaquin. today has been the clearest weather that they have searched in. >> the ship is out there. today is our best chance to find it. we were also going to look for any signs of survivors.

>> approximately 7:20 a.m. on thursday, a distress call on board indicated the ship had lost power and had taken on water at the height of hurricane joaquin. you can see the ship's approximate locations during the satellite loop, the little white arrow there at the height of the storm. at that time, it was listing 15 degrees to one side but the "el faro" said it had contained all of the flooding. the families of the crew are sp desperate for answers. >> certain routes and certain things to do if something like that happens, what happens in this case, i don't know, but i am prayful that they are going to find them. >> many of the families are in jacksonville where the ship's operator says they are in constant communication.

the company remains optimistic. when i asked them why, they told me, it's a strong ship with a good crew. arthel? >> let's pray that they are able to survive this sinking of the ship or whatever happened to that ship. bryan llenas, thank you so much. >> no problem. grief, outrage and lingering questions about the shooting massacre at the community college campus in oregon. on this sunday, people are focusing on the victims. eight were students. the ninth was an instructor. the gunman also wounding several others before authorities say he took his own life. the community now coming together to grieve and support each other in the face of this senseless and horrible tragedy. will carr is live in roseburg, oregon. hi, will. >> reporter: hi there, eric. while this community continues to mourn, they are also trying to return to some kind of normalcy.

tomorrow, symbolically, on thursday this gunman walked on to campus and killed nine innocent people, quinn cooper, lucas eibel, jason johnson, lou sarah alcaraz, quinn cooper and rebecka ann carnes. chris mintz now has a gofund me page that has collected over $700,000 to help with his medical expenses. we've learned another shooting survivor, 16-year-old cheyenne fitzgerald, the youngest shooting victim, is now in fair condition. she's been upgraded. she was here studying in the nursing program. there have been a number of vigils all in honor of the victims. >> our community --

♪ -- has just been torn apart. >> it's hard to process the whole thing. i'm still in disbelief. >> witnesses say that 26-year-old chris harper mercer told the people in that classroom that had he been wanting to do this for years. he gave one student an envelope and told that student to go into the corner and said that he would let him survive to tell the story. he then proceeded to ask students if they were christ fen and unloaded on the entire classroom. we learned from one of the victim's father, a pastor in this area, apparently mercer said, i'm hit, laid down and seemed to give up. we've been told that after that he took his own life. now, in terms of his motivation, he told people online and in the letter he wrote that he was angry at the world, he was angry that he didn't have a girlfriend. his mom said that her son had mental issues and in terms of

treatment, we really don't know what treatment he was receiving, if any at all. >> all right, will. so sad. thank you so much. well, the supreme court getting ready to kick off a new season. the cases the justices are expected to take up when they return to the bench. and volkswagen emissions standard testing. this is being felt here in our country in a big way. how this scandal affects us and you if you drive a vw. usaa makes me feel like i'm a car buying expert in no time at all. there was no stress. it was in and out. and it was just easy. usaa, they just really make sure that you're well taken care of. usaa car buying service. powered by truecar. save money, zero hassle.

catholics in our nation's capital praying for the u.s. supreme court this morning or today at the 63rd annual master of the cathedral of st. matthew in washington marking the beginning of the high court's new term. now the justices begin their work tomorrow on a politically charged docket and a few of the major cases include teachers paying union dues, affirmative action and higher education, voting rights and immigration and religious institutions and obamacare. lots to talk about. now bringing in david hawking, senior editor of roll call. let's start with the case in california over a dispute about

whether states can compel government employees to pay union dues. >> that's right. the justices about 40 years ago said they could pay union dues and the supreme court to at least consider overturning their own precedence and changing their mind. these california teachers also want the rules changed to be allowed to essentially volunteer before any of their union dues are used for political purposes. so it's a big challenge to labor. last year the supreme court came within one vote of essentially doing what they -- what the teachers wanted them to do in a slightly different case so conservatives feel like they are one vote away and that the supreme court is willing to consider this now, maybe they have a chance. >> okay. let's look at this as well the justices will look at a dispute

about the constitutionality of affirmative action. this case, of course, is being rejected by abigail fisher who was white and who was rejected because of her race. >> that's right. she got the supreme court to consider her case once at an earlier point in her lawsuit. two years ago, the justices, i think it was 7-2, 6-3 essentially said -- told the university of texas to come up with a higher bar and abigail says it's not high enough and she and people like her are being discriminated against and the supreme court is willing to consider her appeal now. once again, giving the conservative a chance to take this case at some point, they have a chance on affirmative action to really have finally once and for all in the view of conservatives essentially eliminate the use of race and ethnicity as any kind of -- in any kind of formula for

admitting people. >> david, there is the meaning of the one person, one vote. tell us the meaning of this. >> this is another texas case and in this case it's about whether state legislative -- we all know since the 1960s, the principle of one person, one vote. in other words, legislative districts are supposed to be drawn with an equivalent number of people. not voters but people. and the supreme court is now willing to consider at least at a state legislative level whether that should be true and whether children, undocumented residents, other prisoners should be excluded from the count and state legislative districts in texas might be drawn with just eligible voters and an equivalent number of eligible voters. if the supreme court agrees, that would have the effect of increasing power in rural areas, more republican conservative rural areas and diminishing the power in the big cities where

most undocumented immigrants and actually children live. >> okay. and then there's the religious nonprofits in obamacare, the so-called hobby lobby case. >> well, this is a descendent to the hobby lobby case. this was now -- and the supreme court has not agreed to take up a bunch of cases that would take the hobby lobby cases one step further. this is a series of cases in which religious nonprofit groups are suing and saying that in order to live up to what the obamacare rules provide, contraceptive coverage as part of their health insurance plans, their religious liberty plans are being abridged or challenged and the supreme court should do more for what they did in the hobby lobby case, which is allow the religious nonprofits, the little sisters of the poor who run a nursing home in denver is probably going to end up as the marquise in this case, whether they should be allowed a way out

that doesn't, in their view, violate their religious freedom. >> david hawkings, we don't have time for that fifth one. boy, did you cover a lot in a little time. i really appreciate that. it was a lot to breakdown and you did. we'll be analyzing this as the days and weeks to come. thanks, david. take care. >> he broke it down. >> exactly. well, hurricane joaquin, you know, may have ventured out to sea but the moisture is still drenching parts of the east coast. floodwaters are up in south carolina as we've been reporting a devastating flooding right now. coming up, we'll track the storm for you. plus, the race for house speaker is heating up. will congressman jason chaffetz bring a real challenge to house leader kevin mccarthy for his position. ? waiter. water. so why would you invest without checking brokercheck? check your broker with brokercheck.

i think the american public wants to see a change. they want a fresh start.

there's a reason why we see this phenomenon across the country and you don't just give an automatic promotion to the leadership team. >> congressman chaffetz is running for house speaker. he made that announcement on "fox news sunday" this morning. kevin mccarthy, who is believed to be the leading candidate, and also daniel webster in the middle, he ran in january and he's running again. he got 12 votes last time. chaffetz says mccarthy is having trouble getting the 218 points he needs to get the position. so who might come out on top? joining us to predict is fox news political analyst and former communications adviser to president obama, corey. angela, chaffetz on "fox news sunday" came out blasting mccarthy, saying he's part of the same old team, it's not what republicans want. do you think he's going to get

traction? >> i think he's starting off on the wrong foot because he's putting down his opponents to lift himself up. he needs to talk about what le do better whoever is elected to the job it's going to be a tough job and they have to do it with a divided party, the tea partyiers versus the establishment and democratic white house. he needs to look at tip o'neil or newt gingrich and not put down his opponent. >> do you think he has a chance? >> i think he has a chance but i'm not going to look at the crystal ball. we both know it's been a very unique year. i just know either one of the guys, mccarthy or chaffetz, will do very well. i don't know about weber. >> corey, do you think either one will do okay? at the freedom caucus, they are fired up. >> they are the ones who want to come out on top. the more things change, the more things stay the same.

what you have is a lot of change but the fundamentals are why the house is functioning the way it is or not functioning the way it is are all going to stay the same. there are three things, particularly, first, the right has really done a good skrob of pulling the house further to the right. the tea party and the freedom caucus don't have a good job of that. secondly, the fact that they don't have earmarks anymore that have tools to negotiate with members and get things through congress, that's a real problem. and then thirdly, you don't put anything object the floor unless the majority caucus can vote for it and pass it on its own -- >> and corey, i didn't know that you were psychic. >> hold on, angela. those things combined make it difficult for whoever is leader of the house to run the house. >> angela -- >> who hurts at the end? the american people. >> we are, corey. eric -- no, i don't think this is what is going to happen.

i think from boehner's demise, we've learned our lesson and that one-third of the party can run the party. the speaker can't be all thing to all people. >> that's the point. angela, do you think whoever the speaker is, they can work with the white house when the president has his head in his phone is going to do whatever he wants? >> insans tea is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result. tip o'neil worked with reagan. newt gingrich worked with clinton. whoever is the is speaker, they have to work with president obama to create a better america or it's going to be worse. >> corey, let me point out one point. john boehner had one golfing outing and the president has been criticized on capitol hill for not meeting and schmoozing.

5:00, go share a drink on capitol hill. corey, will that change the dynamics, do you think, and what is going on in washington for the better? >> well, it takes two people and in this country it takes two parties in order to work together in order to get things done and right now because of a consistent obstructionism and the inability to get things done in congress, we haven't had anything done in washington these days. if you look at the congressional record, nothing substantive has been accomplished. and the people hurting the most are the american people. there's no time that we're ever going to get past -- >> corey, do the democrats have any responsibility? democrats, do they have any type of responsibility here? you've given the republicans a it takes a president, president clinton worked with newt gingrich, ronald reagan worked with tip o'neil. so instead of blaming

republicans, i think you need to look at the white house as well. >> has anyone at any time on any ideas in order to get things done in washington and that's just not happened. >> all right. >> the vote this week, i guess, we'll see who comes out on top. >> we'll see if there mccarthy or mr. chaffetz can get it done. >> we'll sfee in that changes anything. arthel? there is growing criticism over the bombing in afghanistan at the doctors without borders hospital. >> very precise bombing on the building so a number of the

other buildings were affected. so we believe that this is a very high aerial bombardment over aerial hospital. introducing metris, the mid-size van from mercedes-benz. it's got small-ability and big-ability. towing-ability and stowing-ability. rack-ability and hvac-ability. it's fully customizable and sized just right to give you cupcake-ability,

growing fallout over the deadly strike on the doctors without borders in kunduz that killed 19 people. it was a staging ground for the taliban, says the afghan people. the charity is calling for an investigation into the strike, quote, under the clear presumption that a war time has been committed. let's bring in the director for foreign and and international hair t hair tij studies. what appears to be happening here? >> obviously, somebody hit the

wrong target. this kind of stuff happens in war but you need to find out why. there's a lot of different reasons. we need to discover which one led to this bombs hitting this particular target. >> was this hospital a taliban base? >> oh, we don't know yet. obviously the afghan government is saying that they had information. the fact that one airplane supposedly hit the same building five times tells you it was actually the target. now, how did it become the target? did somebody have the wrong coordinates? that's what needs to be determined. >> steve, how and who will get the personnel out of there? >> undoubtedly it will be the united states and the afghans to get them out, to get them to the right place, to get care. i mean, doctors without borders is a super organization. they go into places that nobody else will. you're seeing a lot of the emotion here where the man is

saying, this is clearly a war crime. we don't know what it is yet. some good guys got killed as well. >> why would think they it's a war crime? >> well, they are saying -- i think the implication is that they were deliberately targeted. i don't think that's going to turn out to be the case but that's why we always investigate any friendly fire instance, any instance of collateral damage like this. we always look into it. it's not a special thing that the president has to order. it's what the military does when innocent people are hurt in our operations. but, you know, we're the precise military in the world and also the only ones whoever apologize when this kind of thing happens. >> and i want to get fwook thba that in a moment. what about those killed in this unfortunate tragedy? i mean, whose responsibility is

it to get the bodies back home? >> this is a situation where the united states will undoubtedly help. we've got other nato assets in countries. it depends on what their nationality is on who actually moves them. >> and if this is a war crime, who conducts the investigation and where does it take place and how is punishment handed down? >> well, it's usually done by the military headquarters. in this case, my understanding is that they are letting nato do the investigation. there will also probably be a u.s. investigation and who is determined to be at fault, if fault is found and then normally -- if it's something deliberate, if this was a real crime kind of thing, then it can go to the national level or even the international level. but most of these things, that's not what is going on here, i don't think. >> and what if in the end it's

proven to be an unfortunate, horrible accident? >> then you, you know, see if it was an accident because of negligence, was it an accident because of some equipment failure? remember, we bombed our own special forces with karzai with them during the first part of the afghan war and during the war against serbia, we bombed the chinese embassy by end. it's not as precise as people like to portray it. >> and there would be damages possible for the families even if it is deemed an accident? >> we do sometimes pay reparations, the united states does. it's not a set rule. it depends on the circumstances and they can always take legal action if somebody thinks that is warranted. >> steve bocci, thank you for your time. embattled volkswagen out of
