10:00 am
exclusives you can catch my special, the search for james rojas. arthel: i can't wait. leland: it's huge. arthel: join us at 4:00 p.m. eastern. >> a fox news alert as immigration raids are underway today with ice officials targeting migrants in several us cities including new york, chicago, houston and san francisco. welcome to america's news headquarters from washington. i'm kristin fisher. >> nice to be with you. we had bit of a blackout in new york yesterday. the lights are back on. president trump is facing criticism from opponents over these raids, but the administration says the migrants being targeted have been issued deportation orders by a court and mike tobin is on the ground in chicago
10:01 am
where it's news. any confirmation of people have actually been arrested or not? >> no confirmation. we have not seen any i.c.e. activity at all. we've seen a lot of activity from people who are opposed to any i.c.e. activity. people behind me went to church this morning. yesterday we saw demonstration of some 5000 people downtown chicago all of them vowing to read just what they see from immigration and customs route the process today we have seen them out in neighborhoods instructing people of their rights and how to resist ice if and when raids materialize. >> this is on attempt to justify the shameful policy separating families, caging children and we should be talking about that.
10:02 am
reporter: we show you file video of the previous raids, not something today. chicago's mayor who is thinking behind me now has vowed she won't cooperate with the federal agency in the city of chicago won't provide information to them and that's interesting because the federal agency, i.c.e. agency is they prefer to pick up particularly bad actors in the courthouse making things safer for the agents and civilians and you don't get into what the activists call collateral damage when they show up looking for one person and pick up three or four more because they find out they are undocumented when they get into a specific location. leland: mike tobin in chicago at many of the any protests around the country. thank you. as those rates are taking place across the country we have crews throughout the country monitoring. president trump is in washington and allison barber is there as well on the north lawn. reporter: friday president trump said the rates will take place
10:03 am
sunday and he said there was no reason to be secret about it. roughly 2000 migrants are in these raids are family members according to sources, many have received deportation orders in abstention or due to missed court dates and democrats pointed that as evidence and to say the raids are misguided and immoral. the acting director of customs and border protection said the raids are not designed to separate families see like you really wanted to go after security risk and there are people who are security risk. why would you alert them and say you are doing this on a sunday and do it two weekends in a row? it's about scaring everyone in the country. >> their priority always been and will be to go after those that are criminal aliens. the design is not about family separation. reporter: the so-called progressive squad have been
10:04 am
prominent critics of the administration's immigration policies this morning president trump seemed to tweet about them writing: so interesting to see progressive democratic congress women who originally from countries whose government are complete total catastrophe of the worst most corrupt anywhere in the world now loudly and viciously telling the people of the united states, the greatest and most powerful nation on earth our government is to be run. why don't they go back and fix the totally broken and crime infested places from which they came? then come back and show us how it's done. house speaker nancy pelosi was spotted with tweets of her own saying the comment reaffirms transplant to make america great again has always been about making a gear-- america white again" i reject real.net -- at real donald trump comments. about one of the congressmen were born in the united states all
10:05 am
american citizens. we have reached out to white house to ask questions about those tweets from the president. so far we have not heard back. leland: when you do, let us know. a beautiful if not toasty sunday here in july. thank you. emerson has more on all of this. kristin: back to our top story as these i.c.e. raids are taking place all over the country right now and joining us republican congressman from georgia and member of the house budget rules committee congressman rob woodall. i would like to start by getting your response to some criticism we hear from somebody democrats calling these raids: inhumane. here's a clip from congressmen on fox news sunday. lenny plate get your response on the other side. >> the president should use his time to go after criminals and felons as opposed to children and families and that's what we are talking about. i'm terrified as to the fear the president is instilling in families
10:06 am
and the impact it will have on small businesses across america. kristin: how do you respond? >> that is what so unique about what's happening today we are not talking about families that are been here for a decade of refugees across the border yesterday. we are talking about folks who came to the country without permission who were out for handed who had their day in court in who the court has ordered removed. if you want to have a conversation about changing the laws of this land, fair enough but nancy: is he is not having that conversation and neither is the democratic leadership. they are grandstanding when our men and women of i.c.e. who have sworn to enforce the laws of the land are doing that, enforcing court orders that said if you don't come here the right way we ask you to go back home. kristin: president trump and i.c.e. officials said they will target criminals, but inevitably any time you have raids and roundups like this children do get separated from their families. >> this is a function of failure in border
10:07 am
security and we didn't have failures at the border then we wouldn't have families in the interior facing this challenge. my local law enforcement in atlanta, can't solve this, georgia state patrol cannot solve this spirit this requires the united states congress to solve this and yet time and time again rather than gathering around a serious immigration receive the kind of grandstanding the left is doing today. kristin: if it hinges on congress, you are a member of congress and granite just one of many, but, i mean, we have heard it over and over and over again that congress must act. what is being done right now, what could possibly be done to pass some kind of copperheads of immigration reform that could close these asylum loopholes that president trump says are the reason these raids are taking place? >> i'm a proud house member and i wish i could tell you that you could count on the house to lead, but you can't hurt you saw the house last week in two weeks ago and we could not even get a majority of the democrats to agree
10:08 am
to find a border security in a reasonable way in the senate's boating with more than 80 members in favor and we could not get a house bill across the floor. of the only way to solve this problem is with house leadership, senate leadership and presidential leadership meaning bipartisan leadership and as long as we have these shrill a voice is dragging america to the left we won't be up to get their. kristin: certainly seems at this point time that congress won't be able to get their. i would like to talk about some in the images we saw from these detention centers during the vice president's trip to texas specifically the one in mcallen, texas. are you comfortable with the images that are on the screen right now, are come to believe these images you see of hundreds of men, migrants in these cages some with not even enough room to lay down and sleep? >> of course i'm not which is why i've voted for every additional funding member brought before congress is sheer you can't provide the conditions that make
10:09 am
americans comfortable if you don't have the money to do that. i have i.c.e. agents that are supposed to be patrolling and instead they are trying to find diapers to take care of these children, folks doing the best they can under an incredibly difficult set of circumstances. we had to speak with one voice in this country which is what president trump said we want to brew side over the largest level of legal immigration in the history of the public, but you cannot come here the wrong way. when the left said that the message that it's okay to traffic your children and trade them away to human traffickers because there's a golden ticket to america, that is wrong, morally wrong and factually wrong. we oh everyone better. kristin: congressman, thank you so much. stick around, right after the show for fox news sunday because chris wallace have an exclusive interview with new mexico congressman about the president's immigration plan and much more right here at the top of the hour.
10:10 am
leland: fox news alert as the port of mississippi, port of new orleans is back in business, the coast guard reopening the gateway to the lower mississippi this morning just one day after hurricane barry struck land on saturday. meanwhile, recovery efforts for which now tropical storm barry is already underway along the gulf coast, but experts say it's way too early to tell the full long-term damage of the region and also look in terms of how much more flooding is ahead of us. joining us now from mississippi, steve harrigan. steve, good to see you as always provide good to be here. population 1000, about 30 miles outside-- we drove through tremendous rain to get here. that rain is on the way and that's what people are worried about with the storm. in this region could see 9 inches of rain, concern about flash flooding and also
10:11 am
tornado warnings. they have been giving out free sandbags with shovels and sent some urban rescue vehicles to the area. fema warned of the storm could still be deadly. >> make sure people don't put themselves at risk for first responders at risk for making bad choices. we want to make sure people remain safe and our top priority is life safety and that's our message, has been our message and will be our message until barry dissipates. reporter: officials here have been blunt about what people can expect in inland mississippi saying they can expect to lose power, expect to be flooded and that they better have a plan. we drove through the rain and it is coming and it's intense. leland, back to you see three we will watch the flooding in mississippi and louisiana with our crews. thank you. kristin: let's check in with meteorologist adam in the fox
10:12 am
extreme "weather center" with the very latest on all of these life-threatening flash floods. adam, when is the absolute worst going to be for folks that are in the storm's path cracks. reporter: the thing is when we talk about rain and flooding the worst is going to be within the next couple of hours always because there will be more rain on the way every few hours for the next couple of days. they is our center of circulation. none of the activity is around us so it doesn't matter where the storm is at this point. everything is so far away as kind of dragging this moisture off to go from mexico with this system and 9 miles an hour. that's all the faster it's moving. here's the action off to the east of the storm, off to the south of the center of circulation which is right in this area, but all the heavy rain is the spots we are paying attention to. across mississippi you have these deep blues, yellow, orange and this is where it's becoming absolute downpours when flooding begins and we
10:13 am
are beginning to see a pileup. farther south down to the new orleans area there are some spots moving across this area and they are still heavier rain along the coast that's beginning to funnel in. again, some deeper darker colors with this line will be through franklin is very heavy rain and i take you off the coast of the gulf of mexico. this has been going nonstop but there is still more moisture that eventually has to follow the storm and will make its way to louisiana. there's a lot of moisture and a lot of rain on the way. this is additional rainfall that doesn't include what folks have already seen. you will see some oranges and brighter yellow color within this and that's fairly widespread six to 12 inches of rain on the way across portions of louisiana. locale for north it goes pretty moisture all the way that the mississippi river as far north as memphis and stretching to portions of southern illinois. it's a big tropical system bring out moisture. no surprise, flood watches and warnings as
10:14 am
far north as memphis and actually close to st. louis. all of this rain has to eventually work its way down to the mississippi, go back down by new orleans so flooding along these rivers could be an issue for a wile to come. i will leave you with this future radar and again there's the center of circulation. pay attention to the timestamp in the corner, 24 hours in the future and as this system list to the north rounds a very heavy rain moving into portions of louisiana. that is now tomorrow afternoon. looks like there's just as much rain falling as there is now. kristen, days and days of heavy rain off and on throughout this entire region. kristin: that does not-- that's not what folks down there went to hear but thank you for keeping us in the loop. leland? leland: with that we bring in republican senator bill cassidy, the great state of louisiana took. appreciate you being with us.
10:15 am
tellis, where are you, what of using and do you have enough resources as this flood begins in earnest? >> i'm in baton rouge. it's a strong way, but for louisiana not that desperate at this way we have seen worse. our resources here, federal, state community has fared very well. hospitals have been evacuated, couple of nursing homes but as a rule-- leland: we watched now as we see coast guard rescue that happened yesterday as they were pulling people off of some islands that have been cut off by the rain. by and large, though, have enough people in your mind he did that you occupation warnings or are you getting calls of folks stuck in different parts of the state? >> know, people did he'd there wondering why the folks on the barrier islands did not, but others have. there were some places for example nursing homes and hospitals
10:16 am
closer to the coast that were not told to evacuate, but lost power and subsequently had to be evacuated. as a rule the system has worked. leland: is there a danger herein that the storm came ashore really wasn't that bad in terms of wind damage? there was a little bit of flooding, but not that catastrophic flooding that we've heard about and people dropping their guard even though there's another 24 or 48 hours of the trench rain coming? >> i can say that happened once before. there was a false alarm before hurricane katrina and people did not treat it with the severity that should have and everyone remembers that, so i don't think people are dropping their guard. i think they are appropriately focused, not fearful, but nonetheless being aware. leland: you make a good point that one only has to learn that lesson once and it was a searing
10:17 am
lesson for so many. we are looking at a number of flooded streets down by the south. i did not know if you had a tv in front of you to see it. the question is, how far north are you stating resources? it's going up and say to the arkansas line in the mississippi border. >> alexandria which is the middle of the state has what they call the mecca center and there's lots of good there, it usually places where they will stay, so there was good preparation that took place from alexandria you move the south because of the east-west. leland: we know the cajun navy is standing by as well. senator, we appreciate your time is always think you so much, sir. >> thank you. leland: stay safe.
10:18 am
kristin: the lights are on in new york city after a large power outage leaving parts of the city in the dark for hours of saturday night and now investigators are searching for the cause. jackie heinrich with the latest or do have any idea what caused this? reporter: the power company blamed it on a mechanical failure. 73000 accounts were in the dark with hundreds of thousands of people impacted, some trapped in elevators and dark subway stations. of the blackouts and 30 blocks from in town manhattan to the upper west side and lasted from before 7:00 p.m. to nearly midnight your traffic lights went dark , billboards in times square shut off and police had to direct traffic by hand stores, restaurants cashed out customers unable to ring out transactions and hotels in theaters issued evacuation. governor andrew cuomo urging people not to go outside because of the potential for chaos. madison square garden 19000 people evacuated
10:19 am
three service elevators were escalators rather. of the sold-out jennifer lopez show came to a halt last night. of those as several people were rescued from elevators and dark subway cars and city officials said there were no injuries with the blackout but it put a spotlight on new york city's mayor bill deblasio. he caught heat for being absent, campaigning for his 2020 presidential run in waterloo, iowa, and today he's back touring the substation but the governor did not hold that criticism saying he should have been on site last night. >> when you are a mayor or governor, you are going to travel for reasons that important thing is to have a hand on the wheel of a chickens are moving and communicate to people even from where i was i was able to do that with the people in new york city. reporter: the blackout happened 42 years to the day of the 1977 blackout which lasted 26 hours and prompted widespread looting and riots.
10:20 am
in 2019 much difference with some of new york pitching in to help police direct traffic at intersections. no word on what triggered the blackout but the mayor is touring the facility has-- and is expected to talk to reporters later. kristin: leland, everyone in america has to deal with power outages from time to time especially right now with folks in louisiana and mississippi, but it's different when you get a big power outage in the city that never sleeps. leland: six avenue shut down and you could walk up and down with the quickest way to get around by redshaw. i have never seen new yorkers be nicer than they were last night. people said hello to you on the street. abbé offered water. the bars opening their doors. it was great. kristin: what struck me was the fact that this happened on the anniversary of the big blackout
10:21 am
of 1977. wild. leland: wild indeed a huge difference the waiver thing happen from 77 as jackie pointed out to now more on the blackout later at some street parties but now live pictures from new hampshire. we will check in with the 2020 trail next i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?!

kristin: you are looking live at gilford, new hampshire, where it appears our photographer is adjusting the shot, but that's were 2020 craddick presidential candidate kamala harris is holding a housewarming event, one of several candidates hitting the campaign trail today garrett has been following them all and sometimes at you that you have to go with shots like that because it's a work in progress
10:25 am
and the candidate is not out mets the best shot you have. reporter: especially when walking back and forth, but an interesting new poll out today. we are a long ways off from election is with this point it's really just a snapshot and a lot can change but in this new poll from the "wall street journal" and nbc it's good news with the top for democratic candidates each of whom beats president trump in a hypothetical. a lot of the democratic primaries that characterize a race to the left so what's interesting in this poll is the reason joe biden has the biggest lead over president trump is because he wins among independents and suburban voters. while the president is either close to even or slightly ahead with those voters against the other three top democratic presidents. alike abided amy is a more moderate candidate and in the past hour in iowa city she minded voters moving too far left could be dangerous in the general election.
10:26 am
>> we had to remind people every day because this is a state where you have to win with independence and moderates. reporter: senator bernie sanders has a seven-point lead over the president in today's poll and on today's meet the press he said he was confident a progressive platform can win in the general election and that he's the one that should lead it. >> what we need in this country is a mass movement of millions of people which i am prepared to lead as president. what we need is a political revolution and i think i am the only candidate who has been clear about that with the capability of doing that in defeating donald trump in the process. reporter: we could see more fire rocks this next weekend sanders is taking aim at joe biden with a major announcement wednesday to push back against those who like biden are against medicare
10:27 am
for all. it will be interesting. kristin: two weeks after that it's the next democratic debate in detroit so we will definitely see fireworks. leeland? leland: heavy rain sending water over the levees in louisiana and there's another day or two of rain to come. how much flooding there he will bring. this is the couple who wanted to get away

10:31 am
kristin: several levees in louisiana overflowing in the wake-up call to storm barry prompting mandatory evacuations and part of the state and joining us now commander of the mississippi valley division of the army corps engineer major general richard kaiser. thank you for taking the time to talk to us. >> thanks for having me on. kristin: my pleasure. major general, reports of levees overflowing, but i went to be clear we have no reports of levees or breach at this point in time; correct? >> let me clarify if i can. you have a couple levees you have river levees and specifically like the mississippi river. not a single one of our mississippi levees have breached or overtopped during this event. what you are seeing are different kinds of levees, levees that are more designed to protect from storm surge from the backside, so what you have seen with barry is a confluence of three huge things, very very
10:32 am
high mississippi river in an area inundated for months coupled with the storm surge of that barry and continued inundation from rain, so the overtopping you have seen has already been stopped and we have been able to stop that. my understanding as we are working on the overtopping. kristin: what are you most concerned about right now? be watching? >> not the storm surge anymore or could the storm should abated and now become the rain and flooding that we have had to route the for the last 200 days, so as we look to the rainfall happening remind everyone that 41% of our country drains right past new orleans, so even if the rate is flowing outside of the louisiana mississippi we will see it again. kristin: we know some evacuations have been put in place, do you expect to have to issue more in the near future? >> no. in effect i think what you have seen is very favorable forecast for the weather.
10:33 am
many river stages whether it's baton rouge, mississippi river and many others the predicted forecasted crest has gone down significantly and that is good news for everyone. kristin: i know all flooding is bad flooding, but where does barry stack up in terms of this confluence of it barry plus all of the rain and snow melt which has been very heavy throughout the winter and spring this year, the confluence of these two events where does it stack up? >> very significant. remind everyone the wettest our country has been in 125 years. started taking records in 1895 and we never had a record like this so all of the water has passed the root of new orleans. there have been areas devastated like the southern delta and mississippi. abyss rain will continue to hamper efforts to get those areas drained and i don't think we will get much cropping done in that area this year so it's been a tragic
10:34 am
event for everyone. kristin: really tough for those farmers. major general, thank you and i will let you get back to work. >> think you. have a great day. adam: campaign 2020. this sunday we are getting reaction to the reaction, you might say from not only moderate and progressive democrats but the president as well on this spat between new york harbor's men and house speaker nancy pelosi. here is what maureen dowd has to say in this morning's "new york times" with the headline on her op-ed: scaling woke background writing the 79-year old speaker and 29-year old freshman are trapped in a generational and ideological tangle that poses a real threat to the democrats ability to be donald trump's next year and with that we bring in our talk radio panel already aaronson host of attitude and syndicated talkshow host nice to see you both. tony on going out on a
10:35 am
limb here, but i think we need to mark july 14, 2019, in history books as the day you might agree with marine. >> i'm sure it's happened before, i mean, we don't get together and get coffee but i'm willing to buy any time. i just don't know if i would call it a stat. i think it's more intense than that because there's a conversation about the soul for the democratic party about what path they want to go down, but even if we were to disagree about that, no one can disagree with that it looks very very bad for the democratic party and when this starts infiltrating the candidates for 2020 than it really gets awful. adam: arnie, we are already hearing from cory booker and other sort of competing for what terrible words to call president trump based on his tweets, but it seems to be a distraction, if you will in terms of the way we are getting the crosscurrents
10:36 am
between the progressive side and democratic party and the more moderates. >> let me say something, i think i want to celebrate their policy differences within the democratic party and they have every right to have a policy debate took what i don't want to see is to look at the motives behind why they have these policy debates and i also don't want to have them embrace the trump twitter affect and start labeling people. there's a generational divide. adam: just to that point, arnie. let me see if i understand what you're saying, this is from marine also that aoc should consider the possibility that people that disagree with her do not disagree with her color. is that the attitude you have? >> more than-- look, they don't disagree with her color. what they are doing is disagree not even on the policy i think they agree on policy. the difference between nancy posey and aoc is the sense of urgency and i think what's really important to remember is that moderates and didn't bring new people into the voting booth in
10:37 am
2018, progressives did. that's important. if you want to expand the base you will expand the base with the voices coming out of the squad because they are speaking to young people, speaking to disenfranchise people. adam: aoc staff was making that point about trying to convince for democrats to actually vote based on this sort of higher energy that you're talking about here's what president trump has to say about the squad you referred to: adam: tony, the first rule of politics is that when the other side is fighting amongst themselves: don't jump in the middle of it. >> yeah, i mean, there's much to teach and that's absolutely it and i'm not quite sure-- you know the president has video out going about this not sure where
10:38 am
people were from and i think that was from yesterday so it may have been part of the confusion. they were born in the united states, but you don't get in the way you should get in the way, but i should correct one thing. when we talk about the democratic party while members of the democratic party might consider some difference between cortez and pelosi as progressive and moderate they are all progressives. there's no moderates left in the democratic party and this is the problem. you are talking about the speed by which to move down the socialist road and that's about whether or not you're putting your foot on the gas are not, not about eventually getting to that so-called nonsensical promised land. they are all progressives. >> described the republican party. described the trump are now. it's no longer moderate, no longer even conservative, it's reactionary and embraces basically the norm is that we are as a result of the tax cut, basically denying
10:39 am
science because liquids having with climate change and acting in an inhumane way on immigration and you look at the border. adam: hold on. okay, okay, okay. >> we don't know each other. hello, you have no arguments on the border. adam: guys, tony, you had the first word. arnie got the last word. we will come back next time and flip it and go from there. nice to see you both. appreciate it as always and we will catch up with you on the radio. kristin: coming up, we will take you to i want to speak with former colorado governor and debt 2020 democrat show-- democraticen candidate john hicm you'll get there. whoa-hoa-hoa! 30 grams of protein, and one gram of sugar. ensure max protein. too many people a restless night's sleep. there's a better choice. aleve pm.

10:42 am
kristin: people are watching thousands of troops parade through the streets of paris as france celebrates the steel day the french president presiding over the annual military parade. other european leaders including german
10:43 am
chancellor angela merkel joined the ceremony. adam: president trump lane in today on the feud between nancy pelosi in several progressives, dealt with that in the last segment but one hopeful has been on the front lines of the moderate versus liberal divide denouncing his candidacy-- announcing his candidacy in march or joining us now 2020 presidential candidate former governor of the great state of colorado, john hickenlooper. good to see you. as always, forgive me if i am wrong, but coming off of what i heard from marine dowd in her call him this and our panel before it doesn't seem like there's a lot of room for moderates in the democratic base in the democratic primary. >> i think you'd be surprised me the democratic party has always been-- it's a big tent and there's a lot of different opinions
10:44 am
and if you actually look to a large extent of the 24 people running for president, they have not been attacking each other. they have different ideas and different visions of how the country is going to be successful. i'm out there trying to say i'm the one person that has done what everyone else is talking about but we are not attacking each other. leland: is not a problem, is it time you start attacking each other and try to lay down some differences? someone has to come out on top. tamara harris-- kamala harris after joe biden in her-- >> when i first ran for mayor of denver in 2003 i made a commitment not to do that because i think when you take down your opponents in a political campaign you are really attacking all the people that support them as well and after the election we got to come together and be able to do big things that substance how we

succeeded when i was mayor of denver. we didn't create enemies and after the election we got nonprofits to work together. leland: the colorado success story speaks for itself. the mayor of denver, the man who has your old job said this about the i.c.e. raids that you have condemned pretty strongly calling them fear creating, making us all less essay. take a listen to the mayor of denver. >> we do not assist with immigration enforcement. we have our immigrant communities backs during these times. leland: is that really the same type of moderate position that you say you are not enforcing america's laws, not helping immigration officials enforce court ordered deportation of people with criminal records? >> those are two different things work i think what the mayor was saying is you don't want to promote an atmosphere of hesperia where people
10:46 am
people are in extreme-- leland: hold on. governor, the mayor said we do not assist with immigration enforcement. i.c.e. is trying to round up people who have court order deportation notices, many of whom have committed crime in the past and that is the same thing. >> well, leland, that's different in the sense that there's a number of judicial decisions that's say local police should not be assisting federal immigration programs enforcement. there is all kinds of case law that tells local mayors and police chiefs that they should not do that. leland: let's get to this that happened in the state of colorado. this was the demonstration on friday at the i.c.e. facility where they pull down the american flag and what appears to be an upside down the spray-painted american flag and then

the mexican flag over the i.c.e. facility. it doesn't get much more progressive and radical than that. is that is something that has a moderate needs to be condemned? >> i certainly respect the american flag in my whole life i have been fighting to make this country and to make sure that this country welcomes everyone and that the flag represents everyone. i'm old enough i remember when people were burning the flag in protest of the vietnam war. amazing thing about this country is we are the one place on earth where that level of freedom of speech is still protected so i may not approve of it, but i think that freedom is something we as americans should recognize and say that's part of our freedom. leland: i appreciate walking the line and as you point out there is a way to say i defend your right to do it, but i find the behavior of torrent. are you willing to say doing that ripping down the american flag over a
10:48 am
facility in running up the mexican flag is wrong? does it send the right message? >> i think there are better ways to unite us. you will find a-- all kinds of things-- but it's not a question of whether you are progressive or a moderate i feel like the progressive things with, pushed in colorado, i'm an extreme moderate they are very progressive. go ahead. leland: i'm still trying to figure out a note to the last 30 seconds, what's in extreme moderate whose very progressive? are those not inherently disagreeable with each other? >> no, no. i think the key to what we tried to do was bring people together took we reduced unintended pregnancy by 54%, reduced teenage abortion by 64% by getting both sides together. you go down that list-- we got to almost universal health care by

kristin: tropical storm barry may have weakened, the heavy rain is still a major threat with very just hovering over louisiana. jeff paul is on the route in baton rouge. with the latest? reporter: cautious optimism is happening right now in baton rouge with officials originally calling somewhere from 15 to .4 inches and we got about one or 2 inches overnight. and they are hoping it stays like that because as you look long the mississippi river is absolutely full with local saying they never seen it this: they don't know how much more water this area can handle. there have been some of the bands whipping through. we have felt some strong rain, probably the strongest this afternoon with heavy wind as well. that's a big part of the reason we see folks like the united cajun navy getting in place just in case this storm should get word in case we see a lot more water.
