i visited communities in greenville not far up the river from here and large sink holes in the middle entire communities long neglected, traditionally poor black communities completely swamped, still trying to dig themselves out. also people who make their living off water as fishermen and oystermen. they've seen their entire years thrown in the air. do you think climate change is responsible for the record rainfall and the changes we're seeing in the hurricane season? >> well, the scientists at the university of southern mississippi think so. they believe in climate change. they believe in sea level rise. they're doing research on those topics and so yes, we believe that climate change is impacting. it's giving more storms. it's giving more rainfall in certain areas. >> how is that affecting folks on the front lines such as yourself? >> i think it affects aulg ll o. it affects us because we're in the water every day and we're attending to our oysters, but it affects the fishermen down here on the coast, it affects shrimpers, it affects the person who is running the hotel, restaurants

we were only about 100 miles from the site of the previous rally in greenville where the racist send her back chants about those four democratic congresswomen of color, in particular omar who was born in somalia, though chants were heard and really set a tone for an ugly year and a half of campaign fought along the lines of race and he divisiveness. we didn't hear that last night. the president did not mention any of those congresswomen so there was no moment for them to start with that chant again. we've now had a few rallies in a row which we have not heard it. but last night's rally is still potentially an interesting moment for this president because of today's special election in north carolina where he is trying to push a republican candidate across the finish line to win an open seat there. and it's being viewed sort of as a referendum on his political clout right now. the district is part of it is the suburban areas are outside charlotte where he has struggled in the past. it's a seat republicans held for quite some time. the polling indicates it's close. and we saw from the
