eventually, we do expect the rain to move in. if you are looking at snow and ice, we are watching the weather models very closely. we think it's going to be in icy mix. there's a 30% chance it will just be regular rain. and a 10% chance it will be all snowfall. one of our models a showing a pretty significant ice. the 10th of an inch of ice from greenville to spartanburg. into the mountains there hendersonville. the rain comes in. more ice. monday morning we will see snow and sleet the changes over to rain monday afternoon and evening. the rain to come in. we looked at the morning models, now are looking at the afternoon models.

some of the policies we have put forth as a nation actually break families down. we reward people when they have a whole family, we take the money from them even though they're struggling together trying to strengthen their families and raise children. re-examined and policeis should be recreating strong familiies. that's the unit for a strong nation. >> it is politically correct noun to suggest that a man and a woman that are organized around loving their children with their heart and soul is just one choice. if you have that view that that

families to be loving and also and children will have a chance to succeed, then you are being judgmental. there's always that challenge. senator rubio: we shouldn't have any policies that are anti-family. we have a tax code that punishes marriages and family. think about this, if you're a business and you take $1000 and invest in new equipment you can write that off in your taxes. but if you're a parent and take money you earned, not a govt check, bc you're working and you invest in your children the tax code doesn't recognize it. the most important job any of us will ever have is job of parent. our tax code should at least be pro-family not anti-family. senator crews. i do think that government policy has contributed to the breakdown of the family. welfare system. you're doing nobody a favor when you have government policies

that make it so you get more money staying a single mom then you do if you marry the father of your child. that makes no sense and we need to and the federal government disincentives to marriage. challenge each other tomorrow on the stage in the big debating greenville. carol: senator rubio quickly moved on from that forum to a rally at the greenville downtown airport where he's just picked up a big local endorsement for president, wyff news 4's patrick hussion is there live, >>. that's right greenville mayor knox white says he is now endorsing rubio for president. he's here tonight, he introduced rubio when we arrived and of course it was the perfect opportunity to make that announcement.
