>> this morning, louisiana remains under a state of emergency as a slow moving and deadly storm has left more than a foot of rain since thursday. not even the governor's mansion was spared. the historic rainfall filled the basement of the baton rouge residence. omar villafranca is in hammond, louisiana. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. there is actually a curfew in place in parts of southeastern louisiana after a slow and steady rain fell overnight. some areas sawmu flooding streets and shutting down roadways. it was all hands on deck across the gulf coast friday. dozens of people needing rescue as heavy downpours sent rivers spilling over their banks. >> my house is completely flooded and i have never flooded before. >> where is all of this water supposed to go? explain to me!

built and way to drain this out? >> reporter: the rainfall started on thursday catching many people off guard. >> nobody was ready. we didn't think this rain was coming like this. >> we woke up at 5:30 and it was about as it is right now. but within two hours, it was up to the stoop. >> reporter: the weather turned deadly just north of baton rouge. 68-year-old man was killed when he was swept away while trying to escape the rising water. tried to get him but too late. >> reporter: nearly 80 roads have been closed and officials are telling drivers to stay off the roads. this driver needed help getting free from his vehicle. a group of people risked their own lives, swimming out to rescue him from his sinking suv. several shelters have been set up around the state to help the dozens of residents who are trying to escape these floodwaters and, vinita, there

louisiana, this morning, thank you. five people were struck by lightning north of new york city yesterday and three remain in critical condition. light this is being blamed for igniting a series of grass fires which damaged buildings in northern texas. for more on the dangerous weather expected throughout the weekend we turn to meteorologist ed curran of our chicago station wbbm-tv. >> good morning. the very slow moving system that is rain, first, down in louisiana. flood watches up. flash flood warning up through the morning as well. the ohio river valley and northeast flash flood watches are up as the system continues. a marginal risk for severe weather in this region, damaging winds the threat there. excessive heat warnings in new york, washington, heat advisories outside of there. temperatures that soar 94

my opinion, i really mean this, pennsylvania, is if cheating goes on. >> reporter: campaigning across pennsylvania yesterday, donald trump called on voters to get to the polls, but not just to vote. >> so i hope you people can sort of not just vote on the 8th. go around and watch and look at other polling places and make sure that it's 100% fine. >> reporter: trump is sticking to his campaign message of late that the against him and if not careful, he could be cheated out of the presidency. >> we have to call up law enforcement and we have to have the sheriffs and the police chiefs and everybody watching. >> reporter: this on the heels of yet another week of controversy for the republican nominee. this time, for attacks against president obama. >> so i said, the founder of isis.

but not that sarcastic to be honest with us. >> reporter: trump was asked if he was serious when he said the president was the founder of isis. >> he created the vacuum? >> no he is the founder of isis. >> i call hillary clinton and president obama the founders of isis. >> reporter: it is fracturing the gop. many 70 republicans signed an open letter urging the republican national committee to divert funds from trump's campaign toward vulnerable senate and house races. you read. >> reporter: but rnc chairman reince priebus says the party is united and introducing trump at his republican raerls. >> rallies. >> capitaling on republican chaos, hillary clinton released this attack ad on friday. >> we will only know if he is a real deal or a phony if he releases his tax returns. >> reporter: showing members of

why he won't release his tax documents and, simultaneously sharing her own. the documents show hillary and bill earned more than $10 million last year, paying upwards of 34% in federal taxes. hillary earned $3 million for her book "hard choices." while bill accepted more than $5 million in speaking fees, most of what the two donated to charities went to their own clinton family foundation. and we should note that the clinton family foundation is foundation itself which is under scrutiny after hacked e-mails raised questions about its influence over government policy. now trump responded to the release of clinton's tax returns saying what americans really want to see are the 33,000 e-mails deleted from her private server. >> errol barnett in washington, thank you. for more on this and the rest of campaign 2016, we turn to "the washington post" columnist katherine rampel. if you're looking at the numbers

what does he need to do to recover? >> the same thing he and his team always know they need to do which is to reset, to stay on message, to exercise some sort of message discipline to stop sort of mouthing off about whatever pops in his head, no matter how much applause against him at his own rallies. the campaign and we have known this a long time and seems like every other day a declaration of a reset and pivot and the next day he turns off something inflammatory that turns off voters. >> reince priebus says everybody is on the same page. how true is that? >> not true. trump is not going to drop out and others are calling for the rnc to withhold funding from trump during the presidential election and focus the money on candidates. there is a lot of discord within the party. >> the priebus/trump dynamic right now is dicey. i wonder how much dicier it can get before it comes to a head? >> i think it's been very

reportedly, one of the things that really upset priebus recently was when donald trump refused to explicitly endorse paul ryan who has a very close friendship with priebus. so i think that, you know, may have led things come to a head and it seemed at that point donald trump backed down. he did endorse ryan but maybe the biggest blow up between the two we k outrageous remarks that continue to alienate important demographics can't help the relationship. >> i think people are wondering why dump has not released his tax returns. we saw hillary do it recently. do you think is going to do it? >> he is not going to release his tax returns. he basically said he'll release them when the audit is over. >> under an audit you can release your tax returns? >> is there no prohibition on releasing your tax returns.

when the audit is over and he says is under continuous audit. we have this longstanding tradition of releasing tax returns. >> how much they made, how much they were paying, including bill clinton making $17 million from this education nonprofit. >> not small amounts of money. that particular consulting source of income that you mentioned about this college, i think somewhat hurts the clinton's case for attacking donald trump on trump university, right? they are both for-profit educational institutions of some kind. that consulting gig has not gotten quite as much attention. >> katherine, thank you so much. >> thank you. a hacker posted new

published reports say the breach may be tied to russian intelligence services. the hacker posted the personal cell phone numbers and e-mail addresses of about 200 members of congress, including house minority leader nancy pelosi and democratic whip steny hoyer. they do not seem to be as embarrassing as the release of documents last month but the hacker hint that more leaks are coming. you can tune in tomorrow morning for "face the nation" here on cbs. john dickerson's guest including maine. investigators are trying to figure out why a small plane crashed in an airport in virginia, killing all six people on board. as the pilot aborted the flight, the plane struck a tree line at the end of the airport in forehe fredericksburg and the plane went down near a railroad line. a judge has overturned the life sentence of a wisconsin man in a case that was profiled on the netflix series "making a

federal judge ruled on friday that investigators coerced the confession using deceptive tactics. he confessed to helping his uncle carry out the rape and killing of teresa hallbalk in 2005. no word if the prosecutors intend to appeal. the americans have now won 50 medal in the first week of the olympics. 20 of them golden. y janeiro. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. what a performance by team usa, right? katie ledecky continued her dominance in the pool by winning the freestyle and the ole man since 1904 to swim an individual race won gold for team usa. probably the most exciting point of the night, though, is with katie ledecky. it was jaw dropping when she won the 200 and 400 earlier in the

800 meter freestyle last night. the nearest swimmer was nearly ten seconds behind her! if you were on social media, everyone was going crazy! also, a blowout to a very tight race. america's doroto took home her second gold medal stopping hungary's so-called iron lady who had already won four straight gold medals here in rio. now for the men, the fountain of youth was discovered in the 50-meter freestyle and at the age of 35 -- that's not old in my opinion, but 35, anthony ervin won gold, 16 years after winning his first in the 2000 sydney games and only 19 then. he won but 1/100th of a second last night. michael phelps, he tried two other swims and tied them, rather, for the silver in the hundred-meter butterfly.

impressive and his last swim of these games is tonight in the medley relay. disappointment for the u.s. soccer team where they were eliminated by sweden in a shoot-out that was so disappointing. lastly for the first time in 48 years and get back to a positive note. the team usa fencing team bring home a bronze after beating italy. there are other moments we have been talking about. liked on social media, go crazy about katie ledecky everybody else is talking about the diving pool that was green and it ended up having to be closed yesterday after it started to smell. >> jamie, i agree, 35 is not hold and jeff is nodding as well. >> yes! >> just for the record. this morning, the career of one of baseball's brightest and most controversial stars remains up in the airplane. alex rodriguez's time as a new york yankee is over. he played his final game in pinstripes last night, less than a week after the team announced

whether he his playing days on done. tony dokoupil is in the bronx with more. >> reporter: good morning. alex rodriguez's final game here as a yankee unfolded much as his career did, with success and some difficulty. >> thank you for all of the memories he has >> reporter: a pregame ceremony featuring a-rod's family and former teammates ended abruptly with dark cloud hovering over yankees stadium opened up. raining on his celebration. but in his first at-bat. >> the designated hitter, alex rodriguez. >> reporter: cheers. then a clutch piece of hitting. >> a base hit for rodriguez. >> reporter: the man who is

another. a-rod slapping a double to right field. in his last inning as a yankee, rodriguez took the field for the first time this season. after two outs, he was pulled from the game. teammates and fans showing their appreciation. but his time in new york and major league baseball wasn't always so golden. despite winning three mvp awards and making more money than any other player in history, most penalized. in 2014, he served 162. game ban for his use of performance-enhancing drugs and use he denied to "60 minutes" in 2007. >> for the record have you used steroid or human growth hormones or any other performance enhancing substance? >> no. >> after his performance sank for a low the yankees decided they had seen enough and opted

paying him the 27$27 million th owe him through the next season. >> this is one of the greatest moments in baseball and to go out this was has to be a little embarrassing and he has even admitted as much. >> reporter: don't use the retirement just yet, but rodriguez isn't. >> in your heart, do you think you've played your last major league baseball game? >> todd, i got to tell you, it's going to be tough to top that. that's a memory that i will forever. >> reporter: alex rodriguez will still, apparently, serve the yankees next season as a special adviser, working with younger players, but he is still able to sign with another team. vinita, his only confirmed plans for the near term were to, quote, maybe have a couple of cocktails. >> that sounds like a good plan. tony, thank you. time to show you some of the morning's headlines from around the globe. "usa today" says the ruby tuesday restaurant chain will close 95 of its restaurants by the end of the year.

her dog and her slept through it and nobody heard a thing. it's like being invaded. the guy is coming in and stealing stuff in your driveway. >> reporter: typically, thieves target older cars because of the value of their parts but not these two and working always at night, they struck again using a laptop to take this jeep grand cherokee. police arrested michael arand jesse sela and believe the vehicles were smuggled into mexico. >> whether it's easy the ability and knows how to utilize that ability to be able to commit the theft, it's a scary situation. >> reporter: police say a similar string of jeep thefts are under investigation in california. the national insurance crime bureau which investigates stolen car claims for the insurance industry, has noticed an uptick in newer, harder to steal vehicles being taken. >> which sort of surprised us because -- because they have all this new technology. >> reporter: spokeswoman carol kaplan.

>> yes. in the old days, thieves could hot wire a car, but when the new technology came along, it was no longer possible to hot wire a car. and that is why we saw auto thefts really drop off. but as with any kind of crime, the thieves always find a way to outwit technology. >> reporter: in washington, kris van cleave for "cbs this morning: saturday." coming up, a lawou give up eating or drinking behind the

? time for with chief medical correspondent dr. jon lapook and dr. tara narula. the zika virus. two dozen infections are record in south florida and most with ruffle square mile area in northern miami. the cdc issued guidelines for pregnant we will and their partners but still serious questions looming. jon, if we could, let's start with you. obviously, of great concern for a lot of people, especially pregnant women right now and a

you're supposed to use. what is the recommendation now? >> yeah. this is a big area of concern for people. now deet is the active greeting in many of these insecticides. i spoke to the cdc and how do you know it's safe. you say it's safe on your website it's safe during pregnancy. how do you know it's safe, i spoke to dana vogel headf of insecticide. she says their recommendation is based on, one, animal research, right? it's shown to be safe there. and then there is also what is called epidemiologic information. that means are there reports of there being problems? it's very hard to actually do experiments, obviously, for ethical reasons on people, on pregnant women, but there is one reassuring study which was done

deet every day during their pregnancy in the second and third trimester and there was no problem with either the baby or the mother. the bottom line what dana vogel said to me, any product that is on the market is not on the market unless it's shown to be safe and effective. >> it seems so overwhelming with you go to buy a can of one thing, so many different numbers. anything in particular aside from the 20% you just machining that people should be mindful of? >> the first thing is, and everybody emphasizes to me who i spoke to is make sure you read thbe the directions carefully. you may it's obvious how to use it but it may not be. i learned something new which is you see these percentages of deet, the concentration ranging from 5% to 100%. it turns out that the higher concentration doesn't mean that it works better. it means that it lasts longer. so one industry trade group said that 5% deet, for example, lasts about an hour and 30% can last up to eight hours. very interesting. >> for some reason, you don feel

are there other option that are recommended? >> there are. actually a wonderful tool that is available on the environment protection agency website. it's an interactive website that could help you sort out your choice. what you do is you plug in how long you want protection and whether it's from mosquitoes, ticks or both. it gives you a list of product to choose from. >> moving on. the rio olympics are in full swing and michael phelps is again in the spotlight and not only for his winning ways. if you've watched at home you probably noticed andde about those circular bruises all over phelps' body and they come from something called cupping, an ancient treatment for sore muscles. this is the best commercial anybody could have, everybody is talking about it. >> cupping is a technique around for hundreds of years and a part of cheinese medicine. you take cups and place them on different parts of the body for five to 20 minutes and you apply

the vacuum pulls the skin away from the muscle and it expand or dilate the capillaries which are the small blood vessels and even causes them to rupture and causes the bruising. by doing this you are creating inflammation and stimulate the immune system and nervous system and increasing localized blood flow which can clear away toxins and help tissue repair and you're increasing lymphatic flow. a placebo effect which can be very powerful. the idea is promotes healing and reduces pain. >> i did not realize people swear by it for back pain, lower back pain in some case. the bruises look painful. >> i think it depends on your pain threshold. some people actually say that this technique is pleasurable. it feels good. other people say yes, it's

pulling sensation on your body similar to getting a hickey is how it's been described. and the thinking is that it's relatively safe. for the most part, it does cause localized edema or swelling or the bruising you mentioned. in addition there have been case reports of it causing skin infection and skin blistering and skin burning. even though can you buy a kit from amazon for $15 it's probably best done by a licensed acupuncturist that have to be traineup certification. >> i wonder how far this is going to spread spread. the guy pumping gas or the guy behind the checkout counter? >> you mention the back. a complaint so many people have. >> everybody wants an inexpensive and natural way to heal their bodies and we have seen celebrities doing this but i think michael phelps is one of the biggest endorsements that cupping has gotten. when you see an elite athlete of his talent who is so respected

something to this. no question this will probably increase this trend. >> he makes it look cool. >> he does. health concerns about big music festivals when you combine hordes of people in close spaces and britain's public health agency says music may not be the only thing you catch. this year measles has been linked to festivals and large public events compared to 54 from the same period last the british people are warning people to get vaccinated. >> this is really easy. get vaccinated. >> coming up, how the legalization of marijuana in some states might be to blame for the exploding heroin epidemic. you are watching "cbs this

the hopes of marijuana legalization advocates which it chose to keep pot on its list of most dangerous drugs and marijuana remains classified with heroin and cocaine and more and more states are legalizing or decriminalizing pot use. >> few americans recognize a significant downside to the pot legalization movement. it's addressed in an article in this month's "esquire" magazine titled "the horse of the he is here to tell us more. this is a well-written article and so easy to understand. >> thank you very much. great editors. >> given your background also, it's easy to understand why you're so well-versed in all of this. start off with the thesis. how do you link the legalization to the heroin epidemic? >> first of all, can i address the dea's decision yesterday? this is good news for the mexican drug car tells because

one drugs. keeping it illegal and felonious and all that you raise the price of marijuana and you create billions of dollars for psychopathic killers. so it's a bad decision. to answer the question you asked me, though, the thesis is that when two states, and then a third legalized marijuana, marijuana imports from the mexican drug cartels dropped by almost 38% and those are the dea numbers, not mine. they lost millions so they looked around to replace that income. now what are we going to do? they found a ready-made marketplace with opioids. big american pharmaceutical companies are created a whole population of addicts that were paying $30 basically a dose for these drugs. so the cartel, guzman's outfit and others said if we increase

get in that market and undercut the american pharmaceutical companies and sell this product at 10th a dose. >> instead of groig wawing a marijuana in fields they have fields where they can produce this heroin laced with fen ta-- >> you can make about $217,000 a profit on that kilo here in new york city. fentonyl you make a million three and you don't need massive fields or the infrastructure you need with heroin. it could be made in a lab and easier product to ship. >> prince among the big names that we have seen in recent years. you mentioned el chapo. back in custody now after two

the myth surrounding that recent escape. his capture has changed the cartel structure in mexico in dangerous ways in some ways. how is that? >> it has. you know, there is almost an iraq analogy available to us. you know, when we took out saddam hussein, definitely an evil man, no question about it, as is mr. guzman, but it created chaos and it created opportunity. the same thing has happened in mexico. when guzman was there, h outfit was the dominant drug trafficking organization in mexico. there was what we call the sinolow peace after ten years of hideous violence. with chapo away and the sar tca fracturing and other groups are now rising again and creating another round of violence. >> the portrait you paint of el chapo is interesting. the article talks about how he

he is selling cocaine by the time he is 15 and building things within the city spp what was it about his violent nature that allowed this sort of culture to exist? >> listen. any of these organized crime figures, particularly in mexico, are simultaneously criminals and benefactors to the community. not organized crime anywhere. so guzman and others would build churches, clinics, playgrounds, give away washing machines and all kind of things and providing the services that the government failed to. in that sense, he is revered. let's look at the dark side of that. you know, he has the fist inside that velvet glove. if he didn't do what he wanted, if he were going to be betrayed, he would kill you and kill your entire family. there is a combination of fear and reverence that goes with that imagine. >> a frightening thing that

from leaving me at a higher risk of stroke. that'd be devastating. i took warfarin for over 15 years until i learned more about once-daily xarelto... a latest generation blood thinner. then i made the switch. xarelto? significantly lowers the risk of stroke in people with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. it has similar effectiveness to warfarin. warfarin interferes with vitamin k and at least six blood clotting factors. xarelto? is selective targeting one critical factor for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking you may bruise more easily, and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto can cause serious, and in rare cases fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding,

watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto tell your doctor about any conditions, such as kidney, liver or bleeding problems. to help protect yourself from a stroke, ask your doctor about xarelto. there's more to know.

? ? flashing light light light ? for the fast two days the annual perseid meteor shower lit up the sky overnight. the international dark sky association is to protect the a rigorous process leads to an official designation of dark sky. this summer, as we saw up close, the grand canyon became the most recent park to earn this distinction. with its red rocks and roaming colorado river, the grand canyon is stunning enough by day but seeing the park this way is only half the story.

deep into outer space. it's an event historic this summer because the grand canyon was just named the newest park to be certified as dark sky. >> i didn't realize that this was an issue. >> john barrentine is with the dark 'association. it took two years to locate every single light in this park? >> yes. in this park. many of which the people didn't know it existed here. >> reporter: it is a big deal? >> it is a big deal. you're talking about one of the most well-known national parks in the world and now to have added something like this is a huge accomplishment for this park. we are very excited. >> reporter: as evening faded over the park, we began to see, firsthand, why the project was so important. >> now you're really starting to get the full effect of what it's like to be out here at night. >> reporter: as the last clouds cleared, the full scope of a clear night sky emerged. the moon, mars, jupiter, beyond that, brilliant star clusters and the unmistakable glow of our

>> the fraction is on order of probably twoir-thirds of people live that cannot see the mickey way. >> reporter: two-thirds? two-thirds of the people are not able to see the milky way and two-thirds of the people have never seen the milky way. >> reporter: why is it so important to protect these guys? >> this connects us to something in our past that we are rapidly losing touch with and that is the sense of common humanity that we had in the era before internet and before radio and television, when we sat outside under the stars at night and we told our stories. city, you will never see skies like this. it is both inspiring and humbling, and we can show you what it looks like on camera, but it's worth seeing in person. >> wow! awesome! >> you want to see a red star? >> reporter: amateur astronomer marina. she knows the feeling well. what is it about looking up? >> reminds us how small we are. >> reporter: the notion of preserving these skies is one

have extreme light pollution there. it's a big city. there is lights everywhere. you can't really see much out, even in the suburbs, and when you come out here and you can just look up and see the milky way and these incredible dark skies, we should turn off our lights more often. >> reporter: getting named dark sky is a long process that will take a park this big more than five years in total to complete. somebody had to go and locate every single light in the park? >> yes. >> reporter: ranger raider lane showed us why so many of the 5,000 lights in the park have to these new lights are good. they only shine light where needed, but the majority of lights cast too big a glare. this is a quintessential example of a bad light? >> terrible light right here. so first of all, you might notice the milky way is gone. it's not above us right now. >> reporter: you don't see anything. you see a couple of stars. >> one, two, that is probably a plane. it's all gone. we are within the sky glow right now. these are lights that we are going to work on retrofitting

>> reporter: at the star party, we learned that even the smallest amount of light can ruin your view of the night's sky. at star parties, there are no white lights allowed. it's just these red ones. that is because if you see a white light, your eyes will reset and it takes then another 20 minutes at least to get used to the night skies again. that means no looking at your phone and certainly no camera flashes. astronomers and tourists took in views that are timeless and, for many, fast fading. john ballentine hopes the grand canyon's historic dark sky certification serves as an inspiration around the world. >> there is something so intimately connects us to the nature and universe by being out under a starry sky. if i have to have a personal work in this mission is every kid in america or even around the world would be able to experience that. somebody that comes from a place that is light polluted, it's really life changing.

the difference between living, you know, in the city here and never getting a chance to really see what the true night sky is and going to a place where you do see it, i was lucky enough to grow up in an area sometimes i on would see a little bit more. and it's beyond the beauty of it. it saves money and it saves energy. it saves animals. many of them are nocturnal and they depend on the true sort of darkness and not light pollution. i could go on and >> i think it encourages a lot of people to look up tonight and that is important. up next, one man collected tens of thousands of toy cars, as well as some full-sized classics and left them all to his church. an incredible update to this remarkable story is next. you're watching "cbs this morning: saturday." >> announcer: this portion is sponsored by toyota. let's go places!

historic automobiles and his modest two-story home in egan, minnesota, to celebration church. and, boy, are they celebrating. so you walk into the house for the first time and what went through your mind? >> a lot went through my mind. not much came out of my mouth. >> reporter: you were speechless? >> for a guy who talks a lot, not often i'm found in a lack of word. yet, it was in t i became overwhelmed with his generosity. >> reporter: oh, my gosh! it was hard not to be overwhelmed. >> it's breath taking. >> reporter: seeing for the first time all of the model cars, trucks, tractors, and buses dennis collected for six decade, ever since he was 9 years old. they are stacked one on top of the other on the other. >> these are lamborghinis and

>> reporter: fire engines. some no bigger than an inch long but together they were quite the treasure. this one container holds 38 cars. there were more than 32,000 believed to be one of the largest private collections in the world. >> this was originally his bedroom. >> reporter: the 69-year-old engineer designed cabinets and cases to showcase the collection which he parked in the living room, bathroom, laundry room, closets, basement, and even in the oo this is the bed! >> reporter: yes. >> they are on the bed! >> reporter: he parked them on the bed too. they are all the way under the bed! this is the kitchen? for lisa, a member of the church board and executor of the estate, it was a real revelation. >> awe and wonder was beginning through my medicine. >> reporter: you said you experienced wonder. >> yes. >> reporter: why did you choose that word? >> because wonder, to me, means

cars, just the wonder of this man's life. >> reporter: look up. wow! >> yeah, look up. >> reporter: in all, they totaled more than one a day for his entire 69 years on god's great earth! wow! >> this is a '66 rambler. >> reporter: and dennis' devotion run neth filling his two garages. five preserved classics, including a 1959 edsel. >> only 72,000 miles on the odometer? >> exactly. >> reporter: and henry ford's second mechanical marvel. >> this is a 1931 ford model a. >> reporter: for lisa, her surprise quickly gave way to something else. a feeling of devine responsibility. >> i feel that, one day, i will be seeing my mom and dad and dennis in heaven and i know probably one of the first things i'm going to have to answer to dennis for is what happened to all of his cars. not just dollar wise or where

used to help so many people. >> reporter: since may, dennis' gift has raised around $400,000. this family of five put down $14,000 for the edsel. the model a fetched $8,000 and the caprice another $2,500 and this woman pitched in for a pedal car. dennis house was also sold and volunteers for the church helped clean all of those shelves full of cars, which just this week, were transported to an the estate's price tag which includes a newly discovered 48,000 dollar annuity could total $750,000. it will make it possible to build more classrooms at the church and expand its school and the church has doubled its size in the past year. the church is still hoping to break ground by december, a year after dennis' death.

good morning. it is 8:27 on this saturday, august 13th. i'm andrea grymes. the nypd is releasing new pictures of a gray van involved in a deadly hit and run in brooklyn. happened around 5:00 yesterday evening on flatbush avenue in front of the king's plaza shopping center. a man and woman were run down while street. the woman was rushed to king's county hospital in critical condition. the man died from his injuries. alex rodriguez has played his last game for the new york yankees after his farewell ceremony was cut short by rain, a-rod got down to business. he smacked a double in his first at-bat in what could be his last major league hit. sent rodriguez out into the field to spend his final moments back at third base.

? it may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think about the presidency, but alcohol plays a long running role at the top of this country's political pyramid. president obama held beer summits at the white house and george washington distilled whiskey and many believe promise to make drinking legal again helped his win the 1932 election. >> two new books examine booze and american politics and titled drinking with politics and incorrect history of conservative concoctions and drinking with the democrats, the party animals history of liberal l libations. mark will weber is with us. >> thank you for having me.

biographies is a different category entirely. how did you become interested? >> well, the incident that kicked it off is during prohibition, warren g. harding is often ranked as one of our worst presidents, by the way. he used to go golfing and telling everybody else not to drink or transport alcohol. harding would habitually stash a fifth of whiskey in his golf bag. he would have a shot before he teed off and have a few along the way and by the back nine almost never broke a hundred. but a friend of mine read that in a golf book and said that is fascinating! what if you write a book about what all of the presidents drank and he said you're a writer, you do it. so it took me about two years, but i finally got around to it. >> some of the drinks offer a snapshot where we were like hot cider by william henry harrison.

interesting thing about that they flipped it on the opposition. they wanted to make him sound like a bumpkin and a newspaper article came out for van buren came out if you give him hot cider and he'll sit out the last days. they ran with it and portrayed william harry harrison as the common man's president and made van buren souped like the aristocrat, the champagne sipping rich guy. the class war fare we see in politics today was certainly going on even back in 1840. >> andrew johnson, who did not go down as one of our finest presidents. >> oh, another one. >> almost got the hook during his vice presidential inauguration because he was drining his fuzzy navels or whatever it was? >> andrew johnson was lincoln's

inauguration for lincoln. they said lincoln was so embarrassed by this incident that he was trying to sink down his tall frame in his seat so he wouldn't be visible. johnson showed up in intoxicated and was supposed to speak for three or four minutes and rambled on for like 20 minutes and they almost had to give him the vaudeville hook to get him off the stage. >> how about richard xo drinking presidentses. he is a sort of a lightweight' and after two or three glasses he is already intoxicated. he has that in common with u.s. grant. to get back to nixon, when he went to china, the chinese had this very powerful alcohol called miotai. and it's often 110 proof so it's

that he was going to have too much of this miotai which they offer in toasts. he did have of it and brought it back to the white house and they showed him how to set it on fire and how volatile this is. even cbs' dan rather said like drinking liquid razor blades. he took it back to the white on fire but thankfully it did
