it is anybody's guess whether this is going to make landfall in the united states, in the continental united states. however, the bahamas has been battered by this hurricane. at first as a category 5, then a category 4. the damage there is devastating. but i want you to look at this thing. some people think that america may have dodged this hurricane. whatever happens, there are going to be tropical-force strong winds along the coast in florida and into georgia and alabama. but me going to happen. it's going to be a hurricane that hits the continental united states. storm surge warnings. more than 20 million americans could feel the effect of this storm. local officials in parts of florida, in georgia, in south korea -- south carolina and at least a million people have been ordered to evacuate. keep in mind this track remains unpredictable. officials are urging residents to heed warnings and to get out while they still can. >> the water continues to rise here. and we're very concerned now because the water is about 8 feet up. but if anyone's decided to stay home, i don't know, it woul

the collection of tens of thousands of blazes engulfing an area two-thirds the size of the continental united statese fire is burning from the equivalent of detroit to los angeles. brazil deployed 44,000 troops but most fires go unfought here. >> on the front lines of one fire, twice the size of new jersey, only 30 men are fighting the flames with no hoses, sometimes just kicking the fire. >> trevor: just kicking the fire? they're dealing with a forest fire the same way i deal with an ice cube that fell on the floor? aaahhh! go away! go under the fridge! aaahhh! ( laughter ) it sort of makes sense because brazil is the soccer capital of the world, they probably solve everything through kicking. instead of cpr, they kick the person in the chest till he breathes again. grand-dad, stay with me! come on, grand-dad! ( laughter ) the real problem is that it's the world's issue because the amazon isn't just some random forest nobody cares about like for rest whitaker, no, the rain forest is critical to keeping carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, mitigate's climate change and is the world's most diverse e

ferry pilots with air transport command flying the planes from place to place within the continental united states not fly in combat. they just stayed within the continental united states. a little peek into canada a couple times and a little peek into the caribbean a few times but for the most part, just within the continent. then they moved to different jobs. can you see the target back there? if you're going to send men overseas, you've got to teach them how to shoot. right? shooting from the deck of a b-17 against an airplane is a little different than duck hunting. so you got to give the men practice. they would each get two flights before they were sent overseas as gunners. you'd have women often flying the planes. this is a shot of two women flying this b-17 while it shoots at the target of the other plane. this is live ammunition. it's no good to use fake. live ammunition. color coated bullets. they did this with a wide variety of different planes. these women served as civilians until the 1970s when they started a grass roots campaign to be recognized as veterans. it's an incredible, incr

in the united states we have 100,000 volunteers, they are waiting to deploy, we don't know what we don't know yet. the hurricane hasn't caused damage in the continentalconfident that it will, we just have to wait and see what it will be. carley: i would imagine your military training really kicks in in a disaster situation like a hurricane. >> you are right. there are a lot of similarities between the battlefield and is a disaster zone. there are many things that are remarkably different but the chaos, the uncertainty, limited resources, lack of information, all of those things are present in a disaster zone and that is where volunteers thrive. rob: the work you do and team rubicon, things like pre-staging, roof clearance teams, getting teams ready to go, chainsaw operations, home demolition in some cases, heavy equipment operations, debris removal. when a big storm hits you could have tens of thousands of homes that need this work. tell us how big a job this could be. >> if we use hurricane harvey as an analog, there were tens of thousands of private homes damaged or destroyed, we moved in and assisted 1000 families, we searched 2000 volunteers in t

i served on the tenth circuit which oversees 20 percent of the continental united states, two time zones i served with the judges who are appointed from johnson through obama. the tenth circuit is a diverse group of judges you'll ever encounter from whatever metrics you assess. actually it is a model of collegiality we share across the country for that. so we had panels of three so we have to convince our colleagues on the income one - - outcomes it's 5 percent we agree 95 percent of the time. now were moving from the forest to the cove and now the tree is the united states supreme court it here 70 cases per year. seventy i have colleagues at west who here 70 cases in the morning. [laughter] and another 70 after lunch. that is an easy day for them. these are the hardest countries - - cases in the country. now there is a disagreement between the circuit for the state supreme court to make sure the law is the same across the country the same provision should not be interpreted to give different rights to one part of the country over the other. there are only 70 of those every year? think a

three on the tenth circuit you can't do anything about the third person. 20 percent of the continental united states and two time zones and utterly diverse court on any metric going from johnson through obama we could reach unanimity on those that got appeal 95 percent of the time. okay. what about the supreme court? i said do you realize we hear 70 cases per year? those of the hardest cases in the country where the lower courts had disagreed on the issue that's why they had the same as people in new york and everywhere in between. that's our job to do a circuit split. fine. seventy out of 50 million. think about that and the liability and predictability it is incredible now at 70. okay. there are nine of us. not three anymore over 25 or 30 years by five different presidents all across the country but we are well represented. [laughter] of those 40 percent are resolved unanimously to ever hear about that? 40 percent does that happen magically? heck no. it we managed to have unanimity through hard work and fun along the way. people say fine. good for you but what about the others? i say first of all

to pass the storm surge is not as high as expected and all in all, maybe for at least the continental united states, not the bahamas, but a better than expected outcome >> i think you have to say that. i think you have to say that, especially from what we saw from the start. it looked like this thing was going to target florida. the carolinas weren't even in the picture at that point. then it changes and it's coming this way this was the strike point. this is where they thought it would make the second landfall it did not it did not core larelate with t high tide here i think you're right thank goodness it turned out the worst case scenario but under the best conditions. >> you and the crew have been working all through the night, all morning long it's been a long week. we appreciate it get some rest. thank you very much. >> thank you >> when we come back here, could the ipo rush be slowing down what we work is doing that's making wall street nervous later, forget yoga pants is a new clothing line helping lululemon's bottom line this morning? we're back right after this. i can. the two words whispe

we still don't know what it's going to do along the continental united states on the eastern coast of the united states. but we do know what it's doing in the bahamas. record-setting damage. it's a hurricane 5 coming in at 180 miles an hour. right now we're getting reports that it's slowly-moving at that. about a mile an hour, which is slower than most people walk. separate records are coming in that they have received in the bahamas a tremendous number of calls from people in flooded homes that can't get out. a radio station received more than 2,000 distress messages including reports of a five-month-old baby stranded on a roof and a grandmother with six grandchildren who cut a hole in the roof to try to escape the rising waters. others are reporting similar folks stranded including eight children, five adults stuck on a highway and they can't get out. two storm shelters that have flooded themselves. keep in mind that surges there in the bahamas have been in excess of 23 feet. never in the history of storms in the bahamas have they seen anything like it or anything as devastating. th

. >> you're not seeing that in the continental united states. >> no. >> what did that speak to for yous puerto ricans. a certain pride that we had. and just seeing those images of the people in the streets, right, what they stand for, i have family, like, my sister was down there, like, leading the protests, like, it was -- it was tough, man, but it was also great to see, you know, the island coming together like that. >> so, you have two different big influences of your life where the people there are all about the passion of the place. you got puerto rico and you got baltimore. >> yeah. >> of course, the president's involved in both of these situations. he's involved in everything these days. but what he said about puerto rico, you saw how they took it. what he said about baltimore, tell people about what it's like to be from baltimore and to hear your place call -- you can see rats running all over everybody. >> yeah. >> to call it that that's all it is. what does that mean? >> i see that. right? i saw that. i grew up in that. right? it's something that we're trying to fix, right? w

the largest contiguous airspace and ground military training in the continental united states is in the data with the testing training range. it's it's pretty close, only a few miles away from las vegas airport which is one of the top ten busiest airports in the united states with nearly 50 million visitors and we like to see both visitors come and we hope that keeps going up. so strong working relationship is important and it's crucial for entities and such close proximity as they are. the service earlier military jets landed due to runway closures and of course with the faa traffic coming in out of my karen it capes asleep distance for military airspace. in 2017, the d.o.t. stated that the establishment set a new entity from the faa and raises serious concern regarding the disposition of certain unique and national defence procedures programs and policies. so miss gilbert and captain joe depete if the control system would go from a responsibility of the government agencies to being part of a corporate nonprofit or other what, would be the impact on the delicate balance between our com

models that we have been looking at have shown close brushes with hurricane dorian in the continental united statest many of those models show the first direct contact with the united states to be right about here. we are in carolina beach just a little bit down the road from wilmington, north carolina. we've just gotten word that the governor of north carolina has closed off all barrier islands, all barrier islands are under mandatory evacuation right now. but as you can see, people are not heeding those evacuations. it takes effect tomorrow, but nobody's in any hurry to leave, they want to enjoy the last remnants of the sun and the surf. the water's absolutely delightful. that will change. we did speak to some people in local taverns around here, bars and restaurants during the lunch hour today, and several locals told the us they're planning on staying put anyway. of course, that's a hugely risky decision, beam know that very well -- people know that very well from hurricane florence which hit this area directly last year. came over this region of the coastal north carolina area and just sat sti

we covered 20% of its continental united states and mild court. two time zones, incredibly diverse court on any metric you want to pick. i served with wedges appointed by president obama all the way back to johnson. we were able to reach anonymity in those 5% of the cases that got appealed 95% of the time. okay. you say what about the supreme court. i said you realize we hear 70 cases a year? those are the hardest cases in the country and those are where the lower courts that disagreed on the underlying issue, that's why we take cases to resolve this so people in california have the same rights and freedoms and laws as the people in new york and everywhere in between. okay. that's our job to resolve circuit splits as we call them. fine. 70 cases out of 50 million. think about that. think about the sturdiness the reliability, predictability, fairness of our rule of law. it's incredible. now let's deal with those 70. all right, fine. there are nine of us, not three appointed over about 25 or 30 years by five different presidents from all across the

it looks like it's in the best possible situation to make contact with the continental united statesbout where we are right now. so we're here, keeping our eyes open and hoping for the best. liz: i see 15 inches of rain are possible. so we're watching it. you are watching it. thank you. we will forgive your photographer for the 360 move. reporter: i didn't ask him to make a 360. 180 is bad enough. liz: he's got to do this thing where he wipes the lens with the little rag. reporter: okay. you are being told to wipe your lens. liz: he's doing great. or she. thanks so much. we appreciate it. >>> the art of the beat. with 38 minutes before the closing bell rings, look at shares of michael's surging after the crafting megastore wrapped up its eighth straight quarter of better than expected earnings despite falling sales in the second quarter. that stock is jumping 11.75% and folks, it's an interesting china story because much of their inventory comes out of china. but not all retail is created equal. up next, the surprising names climbing to the top and also to the bottom of the markets a

because while we are all breathing a sigh of relief that this will not make landfall in the continental united states, this has been over the bahamas for more than 24 hours, has just been reduced to a category 4 storm. it landed as more than 180 miles per hour sustained wind storm. this -- when day light sheds on the bahamas tomorrow, it's going to be very, very dangerous, it's going to be devastating. >> absolutely. the good news is there will be a united states coast dpard has gotten some elements in there and started establishing contact and start the search and rescue effort. and with fair winds and seas we should see a contingent of marines with helicopters getting there i'm sure as soon as the weather permits. they are circling out in the ocean looking for an opportune time to get in. the storm stalling there continues to prevent that type of activity from happening. and then on the mainland, there is change in the weather forecast still leaving a significant surge threat along the coast. the challenge that the department of defense along with the national guard who have been putting and maneuv

florida reef is the third largest reef in the world and the only living corral reef in the continental united states. florida's unique ecosystem is too delicate to put at risk to the hazards of the drilling process. offshore drilling puts our tourism industry and fishing industry at risk. two of the biggest factors in our economy here in florida. drilling should never take priority over keeping our ecosystems healthy or our fishermen's jobs. ms. mucarsel-powell: it is time to put the health and the well-being of our community over the agreed of corporate polluters. the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from new york seek recognition? >> i request unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, the gentleman is recognized for one minute. >> thank you, madam speaker. today i rise to commemorate the 1 u.n.th -- 100th anniversary of boy scott troop 578, one of the oldest troops in our nation. troop 578 was chartered on september 11, 1919, by the first church of evans in derby, new york. historically they were known as troop 78. un

said we had to make a change could we change the strategy to focus on 22 cities across the continental united states because we need a larger sample size. we need to get greater penetration in demographics. to your point with 3.6 deployment there's never been a benchmark since 1969 and that was an all draft the military. a unique setting and we are competing with a air force navy and marines. our leadership is meeting with mayors and our parks and recreation directors are getting civic leaders to a pretty change your marketing strategy and we are putting more funding in the effort of digital marketing so we have made a dramatic change and also looking at 150 different operational specialties there's a vast opportunity for americans to get an opportunity to get technical skills, money for education and surely get out of an environment where they can reach the middle class part as well and saying the army it's the escalator so changing the method was the key in communicating with the country. >> i would add initially trying to meet those goals we didn't anticipate having the economy that we have today

imelda was the fifth wettest tropical cyclone in the continental united states, with some areas receiving more than three and a half feet of rain in a very short period of triumphant but as we've learned before, these trying times seem to somehow bring out the best in people. a group of residents of the small community of cheek, texas, waded through chest-high water to rescue nine horses. furniture store owner jim mcinvale, known to all of us as mattress mack, opened up his store as a shelter for victims. they were taking furniture tax reduction out to pick up those stranded by high water. there was even a 21-year-old college student who worked all night alone at a beaumont hotel for 32 hours straight. not only did he single-handedly manage the hotel, he and other guests ventured out into the flood to deliver food and water to truckers stranded in their trucks. so i am grateful to the countless people who have helped their neighbors in big and small ways alike and who will no doubt continue supporting their communities in the months ahead. for many texans this is the second time in two ye

so we changed the strategy to focus on 22 cities across the continental united states. we needed a larger sample size. we needed to get greater penetration into demographics where we started to trail, with 3.6 unemployment, there's never been a benchmark like that for us to face since 1969 and that was an all draftee military. so unique setting. we're competing with the air force, navy, and marine corps too. they're competitors, friends if you will, but we're all competing in essentially the same pool. we've gotten out on the road. army leadership is meeting with mayors and superintendents of schools, and parks and recreation directors getting civic leaders to help us. we changed our marketing strategy. and we're putting more funding and effort into digital marketing. so we've made a dramatic change and also looking at our voice. with over 150 different operational specialties, there's vast opportunity for americans to get an opportunity to get technical skills, money for education, and truly get out of an environment where they can reach the middle class. which we ofte

the reaction was, by the continental congress, passed the first whistleblower law in the united states, perhaps the first in the world where it was said by congress -- and i am paraphrasing what that statute said -- was that it is the duty for all persons within the service of the united states to report misconduct and fraud to congress at the earliest opportunity. the reason that is important is retoldnce that story was , it has resonated in the halls of congress for the last six years. the u.s. has passed resolutions and cited that whistleblower law. andy year, whistleblowers government officials gather to talk about that, on july 30, which is declared national whistleblower day. in this particular case, the inspector general, michael , henson has on his webpage has cited that continental from 1778 on his webpage. they have declared that that is the policy and the policies of today's laws will be carried out in that tradition. the same thing exists in the training materials for intelligence community employees when they get whistleblower training. lawn, a reference to that stating it

united states. both putting the atlantic and pacific outer continental shelves permanently off limits and puts the united states at a distinct disadvantage to the rest of the world. we have seen policies from liberal states that are along the same lines of this legislation that caused certain parts of the country dependant on russian energy. new england was forced to import russian natural gas because of the decision by the state of new york not to allow pipelines to be built throughout the state. legislation would have similar consequences. new deposits will lead to be extracted much of which are located on the pacific and atlantic outer continental shelves. this would cause us to go back to the old days of old normal that was common place under the previous administration. relying on russia to meet our energy needs is present pros terous. they may try to hide their true intentions but becoming clearer every day. they want to dismantle our domestic oil and gas industry, an industry that employs 10 million people and plays a critical role in our nation's energy security. i ask my colleagues to support th

the first united states whistleblower law which unanimously passed on july 30, 1778, by the continental congress, states, and i quote, that it is the duty of all persons in the service of the united states as well as all other inhabitants thereof to give the earliest information of wrongdoing to congress or other proper authority of any misconduct, fraud, or mismisdemeanors committed by any officers or persons in the service of the states which may come to their knowledge. end quote. the founding fathers understood the simple principle that it is the duty of all patriotic americans to not only come forward with allegations of wrongdoing but tone sure that there is a path that these allegations be brought to congress. mr. speaker, what have we learned. that these principles that our founding fathers fought so hard tone shrine in our democracy are in jeopardy. it is our responsibility. it is our duty to restore faith of the public in our elections. and oversight of all elected officials including and especially our president. we know that the memorandum that was released today is only a m

so the continental army is based in america and it will become the first united states army, but before it was the u.s. army, it is the army of america, yes. certainly part of the american revolution specifically and the united colonies. so when the continental army begins it's not necessarily the start of the revolution and we'll begin the story in the beginning of the war. a couple of classes ago we were talking about the french and indian war, and the french and indian war was a war that's fundamentally altered several different nations that have come early and france moved from the north american colony and many americans have fought alongside british soldiers and british officers during the war and does anyone recall what the two things that transpired when the group interacted? [ inaudible ] >> okay. in a lot of ways the british are looking down on the colonists for a number of reasons and that was having to do with tactics and a lack of formal military training and some of it had to do with how they dress and we know there's resistance and there's also a large aspect over who hol

by rancor ain the meetings, and later in the continental congress and the progress of virginia and subsequently the united statesould depend on finding ways to overcome differences. this balance, this calibration of principle and compromise was a feature of the early history of the commonwealth of virginia, and the key to founding and ultimately success of our republic. bold and compelling statements of principle are found in documents such as virginia's declaration of rights, which informed the america's declaration of independence. and pre figures the establishment clause of the first amendment. but the core principles behind these declarations were turned into enduring infrastructures of governance largely through deliberation and compromise. the virginia plan, for example, the compromise presented at the constitutional convention sought to balance the interests of small and large states in a bicameral legislature. and the agreement to sol tolerate slavery even though it would be by 1808. without that the southern states would never have agreed to ratify the constitution and there would have been no united st

continental congress for a short period of time before he accepted command. we know that he is subsequently going to become president, first president of the united states, so obviously he is a famous man in our history, but he is also a man who had faults. a man who had insecurities. a man who had devices. a man who was a human being, like all of us. because he was a human being, he was also a complex man. a many sided man. the problem is they don't show that kind of complex character. what i want to do is spend a little time talking about the myths of george washington and then we will talk about how he made choices that ultimately brought him to the point where he became the most revered man in america. well, you probably know that george is considered the father of our country. did you know, george, when he married martha, he wasn't able to sire children? he wasn't able to give martha children. and, could he really be the father of our country if he couldn't sire children himself? and think about when the country decided to make a monument to him. what did they choose to make? the monument, this giant, phallic shaped symbol, which is kind of ironic for a man who
