the first hurricane of the atlantic, 2014 season churning its way up the east coast right now threatening several areas along the north carolina coast, it could make landfall tonight, we're just moments away from a news conference, with north carolina's governor and emergencies officials on the potential impact of hurricane arthur. you might remember pat mckrquare said don't put your stupid hats on. mandatory evacuations affecting parts of the outer banks region. women car rains is tracking the storm. we will get to sarah in just a few minutes. first of all, how has this storm changed over the past 24 hours. >> thankfully it's changing over what we expect it to do.

what we wanted to -- that said, the storm was kind of small, and now look how large that cloud shield is. it has increased in size, the wind field has expanded, it had been a pretty ragged aye. storms of that characteristic have gotten even stronger. the winds can increase even more quickly, but what's interesting is over the last about two or three hours, the area is kind of contracting on itself a little bit. we are watching the tornado shrinking a little bit. when that comes onshore, that's when the damage will occur, with the wind and also the waves, right at that point, that's when the storm surge will arrive.

the weather will go downhill this afternoon. hurricane conditions, damaging wind, the largest waves, about 8:00 p.m. to 4:00 a.m. it's a fast moving storm. in and out by about 4:00 a.m., by sun up, it may be completely gone. the sun may come out in the morning. the storm will move quickly. as far as new england goes, the storm will not directly impact you. the exception being nodirk nowitz nowitz nowitz nowitzki. >> we will see problems out there as far as rip kurnlts at the beaches. >> bill karins, thank you so much, we'll check in with you a

little bit later. right now, sarah, i know you've been talking to some folks who live there, they're at the st y stores buying supplies. once they're prepares, they're heading out here to the beach, trying to soak up the last bit of fun in the sun. we have got people walking, people sunbathing. there's been warnings about dangerous rip tides, north carolina's governor saying earlier, don't put your stupid hat on. they don't want people putting themselves at ri6k out here in the water. they're expecting 250,000 tourists for this holiday week. you've got hotels booked to capacity, you've got those beautiful vacation homes

rentings for thousands of dollars. we do have two islands in this area, one mandatory and one voluntary. a lot of people indicating that they're going to ride it out inside, some people taking pictures of the incoming storm. >> let's get to that news conference. emergency management officials, governor pat mcquarrie now in raleigh, north carolina talking about the potential impact of hurricane arthur. >> i would like to thank fema who has been in constant contact with this steam and with this governor for their cooperation at the federal government level. i also want to let you know that our primary purpose is to protect the health and the safety of our --.

>> visiting unneeded jeopardy. >> please be prepared at this potential time for potential flooding in those areas that we're going to be talking about fade or potential power outages. oar potential surges in the water. especially with regards to rip tides in the ocean. we want you to where prepared s water and flashlights and things you should have in an emergency preparedness kit. we have got the best team in the united states for me fairing for emergencies. we proved it in the recent ice storms and we're going to proof it again during this hurricane. we're already taking action in preparation to have a very quick recovery. and ensuring that we can get

back online as quick as possible as far as utility service and water and roads and transportation and anything especially that needs to be prepared or fixed within a very short period of time. but again, our main issue is the health and safety of our citizens and those people who are visiting north carolina. right now hurricane arthur is approximately 200 miles south of wilmington. the rain and wind effects are going to start being felt in the wilmington area, earlier in the afternoon with the outer bands expected ed tto reach the oute by the afternoon. less than 1 inching to three inches of rain inland. overwash is expected on a very, very fraj jagile road, and thatc highway 12. if any of you have been there, literally outside highway 12, you literally may have five to ten yards of space between water

on both sides. of course we're very concerned about highway 12. and secretary tatum will be telling you more about that. as the hurricane moves north, more counties are likely to declared a state of emergency. several counties are already prepared to open shelters as needed and you'll be getting reports on which counties have also required mandatory evacuation and also voluntary evacuation, some which we already mentioned last night. our prirmz goal again is public safety and the state has taken pre-emptive measures to be ready. we ask that our citizens and visitors in the eastern part of our state, especially along the coast, and especially in the outer banks. listen to your local officials in your area. if you haven't already referenced the ready n c-web site and download the nc ready application on your iphone.

all this information is at the touch of your fingertips. all this information will be updated so you have the latest information as possible. >> governor mccarquarry there saying that we can expect more counties in the tar hill state to likely declare a state of emergency, but again, we have got our eye on the hurricane as it prepares to make its way up the east coast. and hilt. >> one of the best in the post recession recovery.

the lab department says 288,000 jobs were added last night. the unemployment rate slipped two notches to 6.1%. that's the lowest in nearly six years as well and wall street seems to be responding fav favorliabfavorabl favorably. the dow jones industrial average crossed the 17,000 threshold. i want to bring in ron insana joining us on vacation. april and may jobs nubs also revised up by 29,000, we have now had five straight months of 200,000 or more jobs, the best is the boom of the late '90s. i know you always try to keep us honest on these numbers, but it would seem at least at first blurb that this is a good jobs report. we have now hit full blown hiring, what do you make of these numbers? >> i wouldn't call it full blown

hiring. for that we would have to get 400,000 to 500,000 a month. the unemployment rate is low because of a low adult participation rate. if we were at the level that we were at when mr. bush took office, we were at 9.1%. our prognostications is going to be better, would be born out by an accelerating base of job creation. if we keep improving this way, then we'll get up to the pace we have been -- is this a plateau? the last several months seem to imply that we're at a new plateau or do we two forward from here? if we go forward h from here, then we're in a full scale recovery. >> wages are up, unemployment is down. again, i want to take another look at the border if we can. wall street's reaction right

now, again 17,000. what is it that wall street likes about this report and that 17,000 fig yaur. >> it does mean new highs it does mean that wall street is accepting good news as good news. the yield on the 10-year freshly notes at about 2.7%, which is up notably over the last several weeks, based on stronger housing data, car data and now employment data a we're getting more towards normal economic growth at this point in the cycle. it may put more pressure on the federal reserve down the road to accelerate plans to raise interest rates. but this is uniformly good news at the moment given that the

prior two months as you stated also were revised upward. we need the ememployment population ratio to improve, but it's good news none the less. >> peter, where were the jobs in this particular report? where do we see the biggest gains? >> the briggest gains were in health care and hospitality. zbich the amount of subsidies that go in that direction. even before obama care, governments were paying 50% more health care. we saw broad gains, manufacturing continues to gain, the numbers aren't huge, but one must remember the nature of modern american manufacturing, very high-tech, very productive, very automated. so i like it overall, i would like to see more progress and construction and i think that's coming, last week we had a breakout number in new home sales. housing hasn't picked up the ways we anticipated so far this year. now i'm homing that we will see

that. that people will stop living with their parents if they're under 30, and start setting up housekeeping of their own even if it's in apartments. the other thing i want to looks for and look at for 2014 and 2015 is do we start to see an improvement in the birthrate? young people have not been starting families, nothing stimulates growth like an improvement in the birthrate. >> ron, i'm going to let you go, over the next month or so, what are you looking for specifically with regards to the economy? >> as i think the economy is on the right road, i these the stock market reflects that and the economic numbers are catching up now to stock market reality if you will. but underlying that, we're also going into a season now where correspondent profits will be reported in the first couple of weeks of july and if those are strong as well as the economic numbers it will continue to

support stock prices going forward. there will continue to be a hookup here or there over rising interest rates. but generally speaking things are okay. >> i don't want to get too much into this, but i mean ooirtean really quickly. >> i don't think they're inflated. we have seen 100% rally since march of 2009, earnings have gone up, interest rates are low, the environment is still friendly for stocks. >> ron insana down in florida. have a fantastic holiday, gentlemen. >> thank you. >> coming up a major victory for a mom's group fighting national rifle association target. now asking members to leave their guns at home. is this part of a new strategy pushing gun safety? one of the moms joining us on the other side of this break. ayy ease arthritis symptoms.

who's next? gun reform advocates are applauding the decision by target asking customers to keepakeep a their guns at home even in state where is it's permitted. an online petition by the group moms against guns in america. nearly 45,000 people asked target to change it's policy. so target did it. and target joined several other national chains including sonic, chipotle. >> jennifer, the statement targets ceo john mulligan staying, quote, bringing firearms to target creates an

environment that is is at odds with a family friendly shopping and work experience we strive to create. how big of a victory was this for your group? >> it was absolutely huge, to have target one of the nation's largest retailers and one of the most icon irk american brands to come out and say guns do not belong in a safe shopping experience was enormous. we're thankful that we listen to the majority of their customers, 80% to 90% of target customers are women and moms so we're very thankf thankful. >> i know you're familiar with open carry texas. time and time again businesses that have asked guests not to bring legally possessed self-defense firearms into their establishments have seen their employees and customers victimized by -- >> i know that i as a citizen feel safer knowing that i'm in an environment where civilians

aren't roaming the aisle next to me armed. many of those civilians could acquire a gun without a background check easily. many of them can open carry in states without having any licensing, permitting or training. so i feel safer in a store that has said no to guns. >> what are some of the other businesses at this point, some of the other stories that you guys are pressuring to change open carry policies? >> target has been our focus for a month and it was a sustained campaign, our moms all across the country signed a petition, delivered the petition, told target that they would go, quote unquote off target on the weekends. so a lot of our energy has been direct there had. i think now that target has taken this great enormous step, it paves the way for other companies to do the same. so we will keep our eye on that. >> judith, you didn't answer my question. which companies are next? >> well, as i said, we're

thankful for target's steps that they have taken right now and we'll keep an eye on companies that, you know, step up p and do the right thing and those that don't will have the moms pressure those as well. >> you're not going to give me names of companies. >> no, i am not. did he leave his son in a hot car on purpose? for the first time, we'll hear the prosecution's case against that father. also, check out these, these are some unbelievable pictures of lightning last knight. we have got more of those after the break. brent and joe yay hemp mill

a georgia courtroom. the boy was found inside a sweltering suv. prosecutors are going to lay out their case. here's the very latest on this case that has touched a lot of parents across this country. gabe, what can we expect in court "today"? >> ross harris is expected to go before a judge around 1:30 and this is a probable cause and a bond hearing. the probable cause phase, that's where prosecutors will try to convince a judge that there's enough evidence here to bring this case before a new jersey. this is significant because up until now, there really haven't began many details that have been released in in case. we know that police believe that ross lairs in the morning of june 18 took his son to breakfast and then drove a short

distance to his office and then returned to that vehicle during lunch, pulling over into a parking lot and saying that he had left his son in the car by accident, that he had forgotten to drop him off at daycare that 30r7k. very quickly, police started to doubt his story. now they stay it's no accident. he's been charged with family any murder and child cruelty. now he has pleaded not guilty. his attorney has repeatedly declined to comment but we should know more about this case and what evidence prosecutors and the second phase of that court hearing will be the bond hearing. he has been held without bompbd at the cobb county jail, but a judge will reconsider that later today. it's highly unlikely that here in cob county in such a high profile murder case that any bond will be set. however a judge might do that. it's still unclear whether ross harris will be able to afford it, because it's a rather high

bond. this hearing gets under way at 1:30. >> do we expect the mother to be in court today and what's been her reaction to all of this? >> reporter: that's a very big question. so far all we know about the mother is that she told investigators is that wlooirk her husband she had researched hot car deaths online but she has not been charged with any crime. she's been pretty much silent this entire time except for speaking out during cooper's funeral on saturday. she stood by her husband, she called him a wonderful father. however she has not been heard from since and we don't know whether she or other family members will be at this hearing. >> we'll come back to you this afternoon. lightning storms lit up the nice r night sky last night across much of the northeast. new york city experiencinging a torrential downpour, heavy rains caused some flooding in brooklyn

i want to brooir in democratic congressman lewis gutierez of illinois. congressman, before we talk about the chaotic scene in's playing out in california. alex ed ed to l ed ted t ed tee. >> my great grandfather was in the civil war, yet my grandchildren and my great grand children face discrimination because they happen to be mexican americans. >> she still sees prejudice and she still sees pain. >> one man committed suicide

after they deported his family. >> reporter: while national reform is stalled, the next generation of organizers are moving forward at the local level. >> we basically organized a community so they can start fighting for their rights see. >> we have national relations because we're working on immigration reform and we have state issues because we're working on getting the driver's license for undocumented workers and we have very local issues. >> ju ar urwhen i grew up in co we didn't have water, and since they were organizing, that's exactly what caesar told us, he said at the end of the day, i have to go back to california and who's going to live without water?

it's you, right? so there are we are here to train you and my dad and may uncles and everybody got together, organized and we -- they even developed their own water system. that's the power of people. >> valdez cox is now the executive director of a community group that began as an offshoot of the ufw. lupe helps communities find their voice. >> we have a summit of colombia residents coming together every two years. >> none of these neighborhoods have residential lighting, they also want better drainage. >> no drainiage. even if residents are paying taxes, if they aren't legal, there may not be lights. >> let's say they don't have papers. they're old enough now that they have probably kids that are american citizens, they have grand kids that are american

citizens by them groups together and asking for stuff that most people have. how can you not want to help these people? >> to have a huge group of people in this united states is sometimes are struggling to get street lights. the one thing is that we finding that in organizing the immigrant community, they are ready to be organized but we have to somehow try to translate that power to the nationshnational. >> reporter: she blames house republicans for stonewalling reform both in the house of congress and back in there are districts. >> in our case, they actually have ke79 their doors locked so people can't even go in to talk to the congressman and i'm talking about locked for months at a time.

>> reporter: in the coming months, kevin mccarthy and his party arelikely to face even steeper stakes when it comes to immigration reform. >> congressman your op-ed this morning in the "chicago tribune" seems to echoa sentiment. taking no action, republicans are choosing to for fit the white house in order to hold power in the house of representatives. they are ending any chance conservatives have to skit in the oval office, control the executive branch, set foreign policy or nominate supreme court justices for days to come. that's obviously gooden good news for hillary clinton or any competent candidate in 2016 or for the next few decades. that's pretty strong congressman? >> sure. but you know, greg, it's braced on fact.

every year 900,000 latinos turn 18. and, yes, they're all citizens of the united states. i think people forget that 75% of latinos in this country are citizens of the united states. 90% of us are legally in this country. and we want immigration reform. because our communities are families, right? interwoven with those that have documents and those who don't have documents. when you send around scurrilous charges against immigrants in general, it affects all of us. all i'm trying to say is, look, if you are a republican, running for president of the united states, you have to tooirk new york, illinois and california off the table. soon you're going to take colorado off the table because you haven't won in the last couple election sikpsyccycles.

mitt romney got 59% of the white vote. that's more white voters than ronald reagan and he lost by 5 million votes and he lost to barack obama. where are they going to go to expangd? and i think there are many republicans, i know them, i have spoken to them who understand the peril that not dealing with immigration reform presents for them as a national institution. >> i want to turn here to what's happening in california. the protests in murieta, this is what mr. johnson said. >> when someone interrupts the ability of the border patrol to process a migrant, you're preventing us from doing basic health checks and background checks on who these people are, that's a very important border patrol function. >> congressman you have seen those images as well, what do

you make of what we're seeing of the images that are playing out. >> let me just personalize ire lives a little bit. my mom and dad they came from puerto rico 1952, new york city. if it were 1952 in new york city, you would open up a newspaper they would talk about how my mom and dad were only bringing diseases, their coming here to get on welfare. it wasn't like america said what a good idea that 100,000 puerto ricans just show up. >> what are the viable solutions? >> there's a viable solution, first of all secretary johnson is absolutely correct in calling this a humanitarian crisis and processing those children in a humane way. this is the united states of america, number one. number two, honduras, murder capital of the world, followed by el salvador and guatemala.

the . >> you got a lot of folks that are immigrating to mexico fro those countries as well. >> not only are the kids fleeing to the united states, they are fleeing in unprecedented numbers anywhere. if we were in belize right now, well see a refugee crisis. if we were in costa rico and panama, even in puerto rico. they're coming from other countries. the protesters, why are they fleeing the violence and the drug cartels, number one, drug cartels which are fueled by our demand for drugs number one. and two, drug cartels who cause and ravage those countries with our guns and our money. so i think it's good that we somewhere the money here so that we can process them. most of those kids, greg, most of these kids will never have a legal status in the united states of america nor will their

parents, they will be deported from the united states of america. but having said that, we need to process them according to the law. >> we're going to leave it there. congressman, always good to see you. >> thank you. >> coming up, president obama is trying to tackle a lot of serious issues right now. the economy, syria, the yukrain, we could go on and on. does here need to perhaps go rogue to get something done? also on a lighter note.

the time of day you smoke may impact your risk of lung cancer. a new study looked at survey zeta and people who waited at least one hour after waking to smoke had a significantly les chance of developing lung cancer with a stronger wlining among smoikers. there's -- how conflicted americans can be especially when it comes to president. most americans, 61% say the war was the wrong thing to two. and president obama's desin to get out was the right thing to do. but when it comes to the way the president is handling the crisis, voters are not so convinced. only 37% approve of president obama's handling of iraq.

a growing crisis on the border. joining me right now the washington bureau chief and staff writer for the national journal. good to see both of you ladies, thanks for being with me. how do you make sense of those numbers? what do those numbers tell you. >> it tells me that obama and hiss white house team have a lot to do to try to keep public support going through this next period, congress is going to be out a lot of the summer, lawmakers are going to be home campaigning and a lot of them, some democrats may be distancing themselves from the campaign trail and republicans may bash them. all this will do is create more of a momentum. that's why he said the other day, sue me. >> if you are president obama,

where do you even start, iraq, obama, how do you begin to start the problems here. >> this was largely expected. that he would do something related to deportations, he had ordered a review of deportation policies to make it more humane. but he said immigration reform is completely dead in the house and once the results of this review come to me i'm going to implement them without any further delay. the president particularly on immigration, for quite some time now he's been criticized from both the right and the left. from the right for being too lax sand from the left of having to strict of a deportation policy. so if he doesn't make executive actions dealing with deportations he may divide up the democratic base for 2016. >> i read in your publication,

the national journal in part because of the president's unfortunate polling numbers, the most recent calling him the worst president since world war ii but frthere's been a lot of talk about how accurate that poll is i. hillary clinton will have to keep some -- there's this new piece again in the national journal and it outlines five democrats who may have a better chance in making that happen. here they are, virginia senator tim kaine, massachusetts governor duvall patrick. former wisconsin senator russ feingold and missouri governor jay nixon. any chance of that happening? >> right now everyone is looking saying there might already be some fatigue and we're not even in 2015 right now. the danger of having hillary clinton run right now is that

you're going to scare away everyone else. having some competition can help, but it can also hurt the process as well. >> lynne, you've got to wonder whether you've got some of these democrats lead evers in back rooms who are saying why might love hillary clinton, but coronations in general are bad and primaries, toughen you up a little bit. >> that was some of the thinking in 2007 when then senator barack obama started his campaign against then senator hill clinton. i know that her and her team would not want to be cornated. president obama is the only one that has the same stature among the democrats, he's doing what he needs to do to be a fall back. of all the names you mentioned, most people don't know who they r. >> good point.
