12:00 pm
sleep. i saw some other people saying that they would get ultimately so scared that they would just have to pass out. that would probably be me as well. thanks for being part of "the real story" today. i'm grinch encarlson. let's head over to shep. surveying the damage by drone in south carolina. you'll see the rain's over but the flooding is not. the water is overwhelmed dams, cut off communities and ruined lives. right now a dangerous wall of water is headed downstream. team fox coverage ahead. the cia has been supporting rebels in syria for a long time. but officials confirm russian forces are targeting those very rebels. is moscow sending a message? and are we headed for some sort of proxy war with vladimir putin. edward snowden says i'd like to come back to the united states and i'm willing to do prison time. the justice department and
12:01 pm
all of us about to find out what happens when you release six convicted felons all at one time. good tuesday afternoon from the deck today. the sun is out in south carolina. and the water is on the move. so the dangers are far from over. from what they're calling a 1,000-year storm. officials say at least 14 people have died in south carolina. days of record-setting rain have caused dams to fail, forced hundreds of people to move from their homes. and officials warn more evacuations could be on the way as the water heads slowly downstream. behind me, a shot now from carolina aerial imaging. drone video. a breached dam in lexington county. that's west of the capital of columbia. that dam, one of ten that officials say have failed so far. and south carolina's capital city, columbia, in the cross hairs today. officials say the large number of waterways in columbia makes it a prime target for flooding.
12:02 pm
but as we've been recording flooding is far from the only issue. officials say more than 40,000 homes in columbia still have no drinking water. columbia's mayor is telling people who do have water to boil it before they drink it or cook with it. nearly 500 roads and bridges across the palmetto state still closed. the water is apparently causing some caskets to rise from the graves. officials say there will be weeks of recovery ahead if not more. south carolina's governor, nikki haley, says she's confident the state will bounce back. but the damage is clearly going to be excessive. >> this morning i went up and started to see the damages after the water has come down. the water has come down a good 10 or 20 feet from the time that we were in the air. and what i saw was disturbing. and it is hard to look at the loss that we are going to have. but everything will be okay. >> and not just a flood but flood waters on the move, pushing people's stadium everywhere. a sort of graphic representation now of what the flooding is
12:03 pm
looking like across the state, you can see it's from the coastal areas all the way inland to columbia. look way up there in greenville. this is an enormous area. i want to show you just how much of the rain has drenched south carolina. forecasters say today was the first completely dry day in the state capital of columbia in nearly two weeks. and with concerns over more dams failing, police -- should say officials say people need to be on alert and ready to go on a moment's notice. let's get team fox coverage now. garrett tenny and steve harrigan. steve are they still underwater? >> reporter: as the water begins to recede here we've seen a lot of people begin to come back to their houses. it's really like a giant moving day. people are taking everything they have from inside their houses, clothes, furniture, paintings, and pulled it out into advance and u-hauls. you can see some of the structural damage around here. some of these houses hit really hard, not just by the flood waters but by the currents as well. what caused this house such
12:04 pm
damage, you can see this lawn mower up ended, too. this house has been severely hit. as you can see out here behind me, we have some first responders now going to a vehicle. the homeowner actually watched that vehicle slide out into the water. that's her daughter's car. and what's going on now is that they're marking that vehicle. they're marking it to make sure that they checked it and there are no bodies inside it. as the waters have continued to recede that's where they're finding the bodies, in these people who don't want to obey the orange cones that are pretty much everywhere around columbia, try and go around them and they end up dead. that death count now up to 14. and it's probably going to keep rising steadily as we see more and more cars. susan jones, you were in this house. a neighbor called you and said your house is underwater. what did you have to do? >> i panicked and started looking outside and realized the water was indeed starting to
12:05 pm
come up. i called the neighbors. they had a plan to get that boat and said that hang out. we're going to come get you in a boat. so my husband was out of town. so it was just me and my three kids and a big dog. and they came up to our side of our porch or whatever over here and they had life jackets. we put ourselves into the boat and they paddled us. >> so you, three kids and a dog leaving everything behind. >> yes. >> not your typical weekend afternoon. >> it was not. that was not what we were expecting to be doing that weekend. >> shepard, that story like many we've heard around here is about neighbor saving neighbor. a lot of people have boats and because the flood happened so quickly and because it was so hard to get around with bridges out, roads out, people saving each other. a story we continue to hear day in and day out. shepard back to you. >> strikingly unusual to me the topography of this water, it's headed in the low country and
12:06 pm
out to sea. along the way it's going to take a lot of things with it. >> it will be interesting to follow this and try to stay ahead of it. ten dams are failed, this per the governor. those failed dams put more pressure on every dam remaining, on roads near rivers and bridges near rivers. the pressure keeps building even though we have a bright sunny day here. further down south there could be some trouble over the next 36 hours, shepard. >> what's the word on water problems and how to know what's safe and what to do about it? >> reporter: 40,000 people without any water at all. as far as the specifics go you're being told at least in columbia to boil your water, not use it for dishwashers, ice, brush your teeth. water shortage is acute in some places. they're trying to set up distribution points. about 5,000 people without electricity. they made gains on electricity but water supply still a problem plaguing the shade. >> steve harrigan in his waders. there was no danger of anybody
12:07 pm
being out in that car you showed up. they didn't find anything, did they? >> reporter: there's definitely no casualties from that car. it was the daughter's car. she actually took video of it which we'll get you in a bit watching it float away. she cried but the only loss itself is the vehicle. they're marking it as empty of any bodies, something we've seen all around the city, shepard. >> your timing is impeccable with that search. steve harrigan live for us. steve, thanks. it is not better in the bahamas. new pictures and bad news today. local reports indicate people desperately need clean drinking water and food there after the hurricane joaquin battered the southern end of that island chain with 130-mile-per-hour winds for 30 hours. the rainfall was astounding. the new images in our slide show today, u.s. aid is getting in there. you can see defense forces delivering supplies to people stranded in the southeastern part of the bahamas. again not the area most people visit around nassau and paradise island. officials say the crooked island, aklins island, long
12:08 pm
island and salvador were worth hit. areas around the capital of nassau did not get it nearly as bad because they were on the drier area not as windy. the storm did wreck some small airports across the islands. and government officials say they're working around the clock to try to get those back up and running. you can see the flooding. these are new pictures not from a few days ago. houses almost completely submerged even now, fishing boats blown on top of trees. we don't know how many people died there because the storm knocked out power to so many of the small island in the chain that communication has been left very difficult. we're hoping the news doesn't get exceedingly worse. the prime minister of the bahamas says workers are not finished assessing the damage, adding the cleanup is going to be a "long process". the u.s. cargo ship that sank off the coast of the bahamas during the hurricane had a mechanical problem that left it stranded right in the path of that category 4 monster. that's according to the company that owns the vessel. the president and ceo of tote
12:09 pm
services says the captain was aware of the hurricane and had a plan to sail around it. but then something happened with the ship's main propeller system, leaving it just disabled there. officials say most of the 33 people on board were americans. rescue crews say so far they've found but one body wearing a survival suit. the feds say they're combing through logs and maintenance records to piece together what happened the timeline here and hoping to recover the ship's data record. an american and four open peer missing after their yacht vanished at sea during a typhoon. that's the word from coast guard officials in the philippines today. this yacht, a 60-footer, headed to that country from hong kong. but officials say it disappeared somewhere in the south china sea during last week's storm. crews today say they spotted what appears to be someone who did not survive floating in the search area. a major admission from the man who heads u.s. forces in afghanistan. what the general is saying today about that u.s. air strike on the hospital in afghanistan.
12:10 pm
doctors without borders says this was a war crime that america intentionally hit that hospital. so what are the facts? we'll dig deeper next on "shepard smith reporting" this is fox news channel. ♪ ♪ (charge music) you wouldn't hire an organist without hearing them first. charge! so why would you invest without checking brokercheck? check your broker with brokercheck. when age-related macular have degeneration, amd

12:12 pm
defense secretary ash carter has just said the united states is owning up to the kundus hospital air strike. he says it was a mistake and that he regrets the loss.
12:13 pm
echoing the words of the u.s. commander in charge of forces in afghanistan. 22 people died in the strike. general john campbell testified today on capitol hill. >> to be clear, the decision to provide aerial fires was a u.s. decision made within the u.s. chain of command. the hospital was mistakenly struck. we would never intentionally target a protected medical facility. >> well, that's what doctors without borders said that they did. the general said he could not provide more details about the air strike because the investigation is under way. he also says the united states has rigorous procedures in place that are supposed to prevent mistake like this. in this case, if it was a mistake, it because was a mistake that happened over and over again. word is it happened multiple times over 30 minutes as people were on the phone to the u.s. military saying please stop it you're killing up. kunduz reported coming under fire from the taliban.
12:14 pm
doctors without borders ran that facility. represents from the group say they believe the air strike was a war crime. they say they told the u.s. and afghan officials over and over that the building was a hospital before and even during the strike. jennifer griffin at the pentagon for us. if they're saying please stop and they kept doing it why? >> reporter: it gets more complicated. i talked to somebody from the u.s. military who actually built that hospital in 2003. so the u.s. military knew about that facility. this could complicate the u.s. ability to keep nato forces involved in the fight after 2016. right now there are 9800 u.s. troops and 4600 international troops. defense secretary ash carter will be in brussels this week to discuss the way ahead in afghanistan. the europeans will be especially affected by pressure of doctors without borders demanding accountability, calling it a war crime. u.s. military, nato and the afghans are investigating.
12:15 pm
doctors without border say they want an independent investigation. and as i mentioned, hospitals like the one that was hit have been on u.s. military maps for years, shep. in fact, the u.s. military built that hospital in 2003. i talked to a reservist last night who worked on the project. but a senior u.s. military source also tells me that the taliban were firing from the hospital. shepard? >> now doctors without borders has pulled out. there is no medical facility in that area. what about security? security in that area of afghanistan? >> reporter: well, general john campbell, the top u.s. commander in afghanistan, testified on capitol hill today and basically said the situation on the ground has changed in afghanistan so much in recent months that the afghan security forces won't be ready next year to handle the taliban, isis and al qaeda on their own. >> the afghan security forces have repeatedly shown that without key enablers and competent operational level commanders they cannot handle the fight alone in this stage of
12:16 pm
their development. >> he has presented three options to the white house. we have confirmed the pentagon is backing leaving 3 to 5,000 troops after 2016 after president obama leaves office. the fall of kunduz earlier this month to the taliban, the first city to fall to the insurgency since 2001 got the attention of the white house and will likely impact how many u.s. troops remain, shepard. >> jennifer griffin at the pentagon. thank you. coming up the justice department is about to let thousands of convict out of prison early. why would they do this? there's a good reason. what will happen to all those criminals once they get out? all at once? plus the nsa leaker ed snowden says he's fine with doing time in the united states. but he says the feds will not return his phone calls. also how would you like to go for a drive in a car made all of cardboard?

12:20 pm
the feds are about to release 6,000 inmates nation-wide according to the "washington post" which reports this is the largest everyone-time release of federal prisoners. officials say most of the inmates are in for just drug crimes, not violence. they'll mostly go to halfway houses or house arrest before they're free with supervision. the feds say this is part of larger plan to cut back on prison overcrowding and reduce sentences for some nonviolent drug offenders. critics say releasing so many prisoners at once could cause crime rates to go up. edward snowden the leerker says he's willing to go to prison if it means he can get back to the 90s. that's what the contractor told bbc. he's been in moscow for the last two years after leaking charges
12:21 pm
about surveillance records. he says he's willing to cut a plea deal with the feds. now he's waiting to go hear back from them. let's bring in john laurel, a former federal prosecutor. this seems like a fair deal. i'll come home face the charges what would you do? >> he's not being serious. if he would he would get rid of his russian lawyer with ties to the kremlin. hire an attorney in the united states to negotiate the deal. he hasn't done that. >> steve wozniacki called him a total american hero. unconstitutional taking of all of our records. why isn't he to some people a hero he is. >> here's the problem, shep. he violated the espionage statute by revealing confidential and classified information that hurt the united states. the feds don't care about getting a call from him. they're going to sit back and wait because they can put him in jail for life. >> but if they hadn't been doing what was illegal for them to do in the first place this wouldn't have been necessary. or that's the argument the critics would make. >> here's the thing. you got to obey the law.
12:22 pm
if you violate the law -- >> including the government or just the people? because the government was violating the law. >> he broke the law. snowden broke the law. from the feds's perspective if you mess up you fess up. right now what he's doing is ignoring the fact this is a criminal issue not a political issue. he's treating it as if it's a public policy issue. the feds don't care. they can wait as long as they want. if he comes into the united states, he's going to jail for life unless he does a deal. >> as individuals did he help any of us? >> well, as a public policy matter, that remains to be seen. he could have done it differently. he could have handled it differently and take an course of action that didn't violate the espionage statute. >> he could have said look at this one document. look at what they're doing and be done with it. >> he's made his bed and got to live with. >> it if he doesn't come back to the united states there's no issue. there's no extradition treaty. >> i don't see many people lining to go to russia unless you violate the espionage act. >> if he could be in on the
12:23 pm
money but i guess it's not. >> there are a lot of foreign governments that like to talk to him. if he's giving information on a continual basis to foreign governments. >> that sort of thing could border on treason. >> not yet. lexus has built a car almost entirely out of cardboard. you can actually drive it. it's an origami car. company reps say it's almost fully functional, a replica of the latest i.s. sports sedan. chris has details. ed snow den could maybe get out of russia in this thing. i hope the engine is not made of cardboard. >> it is not. but as you said, shep, this is completely drivable. a team of five designers and works spent the last months to work on this. 1700 laser-pieces of cardboard went into making this.
12:24 pm
the company did this to celebrate the skills of the men and women who work on the production line there. it has a steel and aluminum frame, electric motor to get around. you can seat attention to detail, fully functional headlights. the team says it took them about three months to complete as well as 2500 working hours. >> gee. >> here is the passenger side mirror. and you'll notice that the steering wheel is on the right-hand side. that's because this is in the u.k. the doors fully functional. the seats made of cardboard, even the seat belts which you can see here. >> i don't want a cardboard seat belt but thank you. >> to tell you the truth it doesn't really look that comfortable. >> looks like a bunch of fed-ex boxes all strung together. >> pretty much. no word on any plans for production. but if you want to see this in person, maybe take it out for a test spin, it goes on display on thursday at a home improvement show in birmingham. but that's new england. >> yeah. >> not here. >> i wonder what it would feel like on a manhattan street with
12:25 pm
a yellow cab running through it. >> i don't think it would last that long. >> thank you, chris. there's word some of the russian air strikes in syria have a very specific target. american-backed rebels. and one u.s. official says that russia wants to send a message. what might that be? it's coming up. plus have you seen all of those fancy sports ads for fan duel and draft king? unless you've been under a digital rock today you've seen there's some hanky panky in the fantasy world. the ones that seem to pay out during every single commercial break on sporting events? well, now we're hearing the accusations that employees of the sites are actual lit ones who are winning big. allegations of so-called insider trading coming up.

fox report now and more headlines from the fox news desk. israeli troops firing tear gas to break up crowds in bethlehem. violent protests and attacks have been going on in an area over the past week. officials there say at least four israel his and four palestinians have died in attacks and fighting. a cargo ship with about a dozen people on board sank after it crashed into a tanker it happened off the coast of belgium. officials say they rescued everybody but that cargo ships is at the bottom of the sea. in the u.s. meet the newest lottery multimillionaire. this woman hit the powerball jackpot. she's walking away with about $140 million after taxes in cash. her name is julie leach. she's from southern michigan where she says she's worked at a fiberglass factory for two decades. she says she already quit what she calls her nasty job.
12:29 pm
the news continues in a moment.
12:30 pm
12:31 pm
vladimir putin's force are deliberately targeting american-backed rebels in syria. not only to help out the murderous dictator because sual to send a message. the white house has not called out putin for targeting those cia-backed rebels. if you're al assad these are rebels. >> the first of these strikes was against a cia-backed group in central syria. that group known as the ezza gathering in hama province was reportedly struck 18 times in the first three days of russian strikes. the leader of another u.s.-coalition backed group
12:32 pm
called the first coastal division soed he fours was hit twice on october 2nd. not the white house or the state department specifically addressed the attacks. but here's what a spokesman said about attacks about moderate syrian rebels. >> these kinds of actions only risk frankly exacerbating the current situation, raising tensions in the conflict, and frankly radicalizing some of these moderate elements that we seek to support. and ultimately push any political transition further away. >> and he also said the state department is confident that russia knows what's happening on the ground there, shep. a white house official reiterated today that most of these attacks by russia are not in areas where there were isis operating. >> there having deconfliction talks to sort of coordinate the movements of the two air forces so there's not some sort of dramatic confrontation in the air. no agreement yet? >> nothing new since last week when the defense department
12:33 pm
spoke with russia. russian officials say they are willing to have a conversation but only if they discuss broader topics than just pilot to pilot interaction in the air. now, meantime nato secretary general is saying it was not an accident when russia flew over turkey over the weekend. here's how white house is responding to that. >> certainly that kind of activity that was described by the nato secretary general is not consistent with the kind of constructive contribution that we'd like to see russia make to the broader international counter-isil effort. >> continued concern over conflict in the air. nine countries including the u.s. were flying in syria as part of the u.s.-led coalition. >> leah, thank you. bring in ambassador dennis ross now, former national security council official and former director of the state department's policy planning staff. he's also the u.s. point man on the middle east peace process with presidents george h.w. bush and bill clinton. mr. ambassador, thank you. >> nice to be with you. >> is this one way to look at
12:34 pm
it? assad is in trouble. his government was on the verge or at least had the potential to fall. we can't go prop him up because of our policy. if the russians do prop him up, doesn't that prevent a vacuum and might not that be maybe the worst case scenario? >> the problem is right now in syria we're already seeing the worst-case scenario. you've got 12 million people out of an original population of 21 million have been displaced. more than 4 million are in the neighboring areas. you're seeing a refugee crisis in europe propping up assad at this point just creates a magnet for more foreign gee ojihadists come there. what the russians are doing is not designed to stabilize syria per se. it's to ensure they have a position in syria, number one. they contrast their position with us that they stand by their friends no matter how odious. they want to create a situation where it's assad versus isil. they destroy the non isil
12:35 pm
opposition while we're attacking isil. the net effect of that is that sunnis come to believe that we and the russians together are declaring a war on soviet union is -- on sunnis. you need sunni tribes, states to discredit. they won't do that if it looks like we're indirectly making a war on sunnis. i see this as making the situation not only dramatically worse. i don't see how it stabilizes things. i think it will prolong not only the war but make any possibility of ever getting to a political process that many more difficult. >> what are we supposed to do? >> i think the key at this point would be a, to make it clear that we're not going to play the russian game. b, if you want to staunch the flow of refugees you need to create a safe haven in the north. the only way to do that is we should be prepared to do no fly but we should say to the europeans since you want to stop the refugees you should join with us in terms of your aircraft playing a role in no
12:36 pm
fly. we should say to the turks who have wanted us to create the safe haven, you police the area on the ground. we should say to the saudis and em rat emiratis, you finance the infrastructure for refugees so they have a place to go. and you make sure that all assistance goes only to that opposition that we're prepared to support. then you can begin to create a safe haven and change the ground rules in a way that the russians and iranians will understand. then they will see if you want to have a political process, you're actually going to have to work with us to that end. today they're not working with us. >> by a highway thousands of miles from that destination. i don't know how any of those things come together. how do you get the saudis to finance that or the turks to police? >> the only way you can do it if you actually engage in a serious diplomacy. you make it clear you're respond tolg what they themselves say they want a safe haven. the europeans clearly want the refugees to stop rushing towards them. a safe haven for them is in
12:37 pm
their interest. this is if you're going to expend your chips in diplomacy, this is a place to try to do it. i wouldn't do it if i didn't think the others were prepared to play a role. this response to president obama's desire to share the burden, it also responds to the logic that putin understands, which is we're prepared to in a sense we're prepared to use some force as well. and we're going to define things the way where you don't touch that safe haven. putin hoperates in a world wher if he thinks he can get away with it he gets away with it. it's time to show we can play by the same rules. >> that aside, this two air forces i guess nine different countries with planes in the air right now. can't you just put an awax up and pay attention to that? or are you concerned that there's danger there and an accident happening? >> well, look, the larger number of planes you've got operating from more different countries, if you don't at least have them communicating on the same frequent says so they know who's flying where you run the risk of an accident for sure.
12:38 pm
but yeah, you can use awax and come up and establish what are the frequencies on which all planes are going to be operating so it becomes very clear who's operating where, and you have a very clear picture of what's going on. we certainly should deconflict with the russians. what i'm suggesting is we should do more than deconflict. we should show we are going to do something about what's happening in syria rather than continuing to simply say that the russians will lose at what they're doing. look right now the russians don't think they're losing and no one else in the region thinks they're losing, either. >> mr. ambassador, it's interesting. thanks so much. >> my pleasure. isis terrorists are claiming credit for deadly attacks on iraq and yemen. iraqi officials say close to 60 people are dead now, dozens more hurt after bombings in baghdad and two other cities. investigators say the attacks are targeted shi'ites. isis fighters are sunnis. the officials say an islamic state offshoot in yemen is taking responsibility for the killings. at least 15 people in the port city of adan. the militants say suicide attackers targeted troops from
12:39 pm
yemen, saudi arabia and the united arab emirates. the saudis are fighting rebels in yemen. the saudi news agency is blaming those rebels for today's attacks. so far no response from the rebels themselves. but their news agency is reporting seven people died in a suicide bombing at a mosque in yemen's capital of sanaa. isis released a statement claiming credit for that attack. the former head of the united nations general assembly is now facing tax fraud charges. prosecutors say he and his cohorts turned the united nations into a platform for profit. his name is john ash. for years the feds say he took more than $1 million in bribes from chinese businessmen in exchange for his support within the u.n. they say they used the money to buy rolex watches and custom suits, even build a $30,000 basketball court in his home outside new york city. they say he used cash to pay off his mortgage, for a trip to new orleans and to lease a bmw.
12:40 pm
so far he has not commented on the charges. but u.n. secretary general ban ki-moon says he is shocked and insists corruption is not business as usual as the u.n. a major scandal has hit the multibillion dollar unregulated world of fantasy sports. it involves two companies that have been advertising like mad. fan duel and draft kings. and it sounds like the kind of insider trading scandal normally see on wall street. according to the reporting of legal sports report.com which covers fantasy sports news, employees of these companies place bets on information not available to the public. in other words, they have the inside knowledge and used it at the other web site. the one web site reports that one case, a worker, won more than $350,000 based on that insider information. rick leventhal here with this. how did this happen? >> first of all, fantasy owners act like real world general managers. they have to build a team and stay within a budget.
12:41 pm
certain players cost more than others. aaron rodgers costs more than jameis winston. theoretically you have no idea who anyone else is putting on their teams. what if you did know? that's the case here according to sources up until this week employees of the two biggest fantasy sites, fan duel and draft kings, weren't allowed to play on their own site but could play on thesite. last week, draft kings manager ethan haskell managed to win 350 grand on rival fan duel after inadvertently publishing data on the company's blog revealing everyone's lineup before all the games kicked off, sparking concerns he and others were using this privileged info to build winning teams. >> there is a ton of money pouring in but there's no scrutiny on how these businesses are operated. the fact they'd let their employees take the insider information and bet on other sites? it is a scandal. >> industry analysts say regulation is far more likely now. >> they're taking some new steps, right, these two web sites? >> employees have now been temporarily banned from playing on any fantasy sites.
12:42 pm
the companies say they're now reviewing internal controls to ensure that they're as strong as they can be. the companies released a joint statement which reads in part "nothing is more important to draft kings and fan duel than the integrity of the games we of for our customers. both companies have strong policies in place to ensure employees do not misuse any information at their disposal and strictly limit access to company data to only those employees who require it to do their jobs. we have no evidence anyone has misused it." our parent company 21st century fox is one of several media outlets with a stake in the sites. but the sites valued in the billions. now they're facing some additional scrutiny. >> so weird you can bet on fantasy but you can't bet on the real thing legally. >> right. except if you're in vegas. >> well, yeah. but we're not, sadly. >> we're not in vegas. but a lot of people were surprised you could bet on football in this way. >> you can. >> and now people are taking a closer look at that. >> all right, rick, thank you. >> do we not have a full screen on that statement? >> i don't know. i wasn't paying any attention. i was thinking about this next

other things like that. those big breakfasts are not going to be available. and here's a weird thing. the mcmuffin will be available all the day long and into the late night hours in all of these pink areas for pinkos. down in the south where they understand that biscuits are both deluscious and horrible for you, you can have biscuits for a sandwich. so all the pink areas sandwiches come on muffins, and all of the blue areas sandwiches come on biscuits. i'm loving it. where am i going now? over here? this food so we're going to go here and make a transition to over here. mcdonald's has the most famous biscuit sandwiches, of course. but that was the not beginning of biscuit sandwiches. the beginning of biscuit sandwiches i learned about today in the "washington post." >> yes. >> it began in the 1800s. >> it did. >> tell us about the breakfast sandwiches. so america. >> the breakfast sandwich was born in the early 19th century on the streets of east london. so this is in the middle of the

i even accept i have a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. but i won't accept is getting out there with less than my best. so if i can go for something better than warfarin, i will. eliquis. eliquis reduced the risk of stroke better than warfarin, plus it had significantly less major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis had both. that really mattered to me. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. i accept i don't have to set records. but i'm still going for my personal best.
