senate from louisiana again this year.t a moment, we'll be talking with one of the more than 20 people who are running against him for that senate seat this year. but david duke, and all of his bizarre neo-nazi-clanness, he's the only example that we've got in modern american politics of the republican politics nationally quitting one of its own candidates, denouncing one of its own candidates, throwing everything they have got against him. in order to define themselves as different than that guy. the republican party has only ever been able to summon that for david duke. and now they're talking about trying to summon that same strength about donald trump. they've only ever done it for david duke. and a, donald trump is not david duke. and b, when the republican party did that to david duke, it had mixed results. i mean, he did win that race in 1989, with two republicans presidents campaigning openly against him. and the chairman of the republican party against him. duke won. that year. so are these -- there are these repo

we start with the louisiana situation. as you can see, moisture just continuing to feed into the area. it has been a couple of days that the low has been hanging panhandle of florida for a few days where they had a lot of rain as well. as we get a look at the futurecast here, you will see the area continue to bring moisture in through the rest of the week here. as you can see, thursday in the late evening still inundating the area with moisture. 108 degrees right now. winds are south at 6 miles an hour. there is a haze in the air. 108, as we 106 at deer valley. 104 at cave creek. 104 in apache junction. glendale, 109 degrees. take a look at the moisture that we still have around the state of arizona. in fact, up here in this area, we did have storms that kicked up a little bit of sand and dust and advisories out of that area. as you can serks things have died down considerably. here is the city right here and encroachment. take a look at the area between prescott and flagstaff. you can see that system drying out quickly. a

but he did go to louisiana and visited the flood zone. you heard louisiana's governor saying the visit is helpful and here is what he told dana on state of the union this weekend. >> because it helped to shine a spotlight on louisiana and on the dire situation that we have here, that it was helpful. and i will tell you that i also appreciated the good phone call, the conversation i had with governor pence, who was sincere and genuine. we spoke for a long time on friday morning about their desire to be helpful. >> in a moment like this, it is where you have a disaster, it cuts through some of the political back and forth. we saw this with superstorm sandy. you are seeing it here. >> that's right. as you said, that's a democratic governor. who was skeptical but clearly very, very happy that donald trump went down there because the fact we are having this discussion about the politics of it has very much helped shine a light on. and i think one of the thing and susan you touched on this, that has been frustrating for people in the flood zone

katty: damage is smaller in louisiana. alexis: smaller in louisiana, job approval is pretty high. he is in office, as he pointed out today, only five more months. donald trump has a different kind of concern he is trying to address. and hillary clinton, whenever she appears in louisiana, will strike the same theme the president struck, that the federal government helps americans and is fundamentally competent and professional. she will argue that louisiana is not going to be forgotten. katty: the democratic platform. thank you for coming in. turkey has ordered residents in a town to evacuate after it was hit by mortars from the so-called islamic state in syria . the area is tense as kurdish-led forces made gains and retaliated . meanwhile, it makes the syrian war more complex. government forces are hammering aleppo, and there is no cease-fire. five years into the battle, where are we? i am joined by the managing director of the washing 10 policy on near east policy. theey says it will cleanse border, seeming to up the game against islamic state militants. useful are not useful in

they call louisiana home. they watch from afar as family members there are suffering from this recent flooding. now they will soon be a part of it. they have triplets. 11 months old. those little ones never stop moving as we found out we visited. but their family members back in their hometown in louisiana, they have their hands full as well. >> people are currently facing the reality of everything they have gone. >> floodwater was a couple feet deep in brooks parents home. there was as much is 5 feet in >> my mom lost everything. her parents lost lot. >> all of your family and friends and everyone you love, they are struggling and homeless. >> they will soon see the flooding devastation firsthand. in 2 weeks they are moving back home to these it -- to louisiana. the plan was put in motion long before the floodwaters came. their home here is already sold. need their support and help. >> those plans look different. >> there is not much to go back to. >> the plan has not changed. family in louisiana can really u

i would ask the residents of louisiana to be careful, as they start moving back. it's been my experience that after flooding, followed by home fires. make sure your wiring is safe, make sure your house is free of mold. we will be here in the community until everybody is back on their feet, and we believe that at the end of this operation, we will have sent $30 million. we are prepared to serve 1.5 million meals and snacks. our volunteers are incredible and there's been an amazing outpouring of volunteers right here. its neighbors helping neighbors, which is great. anyone wanting to volunteer for the american red cross, please go to our website, red cross.org. people here could use help, and if anyone wants to make a financial donation, that would be greatly appreciated as well. thank you. >> at this time we are going to take questions. i want to follow up on something gail just said. the only downside -- perhaps the national attention is not on it as a relates to donations to the red cross. i don't complain about the assistance we have gotten from the federal gove

now to louisiana. thanhas received more 85,000 applications from residents in that state for federal disaster aid. secretary jeh johnson joined edwards and others to talk about the federal response to flooding. they spoke to reporters in the baton rouge, louisiana state police emergency operations center. >> good afternoon and thank you for joining us today. i'm proud to be joined by the u.s. department of homeland security secretary jeh johnson and i want to thank secretary johnson and all of our federal partners for their quick response and the way that they work with us here to respond to this unprecedented historic flooding event and to plan the transition into an effective recovery. fema teams are starting today to make assessments. i'm happy to say that the first post-flood small business administration opens today in the town of walker. i want to thank the louisiana department of economic development for their hard work as the begin opening these centers. we are not out of the woods and as i hav

louisiana has gone through many disasters.na people will always put it on the government to help them. host: all right, that is georgia calling from louisiana. deborah is our next caller from fairfax, virginia. what do you think this morning? caller: good morning. host: good morning. go ahead with your thoughts. my thoughts are that people need to get flood insurance. that is optimal. but i do think that people rely too much on the government and obama and hillary clinton want them to rely on the government to get their votes. i suggest people go watch "hillary's america" and see the racketeering of the bonnie and clyde a situation that we have here. at least trump showed up in louisiana to express his concern, and i think he can turn this country around. , ande $21 trillion in debt i think when a change. obama has checked out, hillary is in bed somewhere, and we just need african americans and others to wake up and go for trump. he is going to change america for the better. host: all right, that is deborah from fairfax, virgi

, you know, to louisiana and his comment last night about the -- expressing his concern about louisianaokay, the white house hasn't done that. now, i think it's too soon to say whether or not you want to assess if the white house and that president obama is getting the kind of media coverage that it seems you want right now by now, 11:40 a.m. eastern time, on the subject of the trip. so i'm not going to come to any conclusions this soon afterwards because not everything is comparable and exactly the way i think you put it out. i think what's interesting here though is the development that trump and pence decided to do something in a newsworthy way. this is very -- when you look at the things that are different perhaps in the trump campaign, it's not so much his reading of a teleprompter, but where he goes and what he does. okay, the rarity of a visit that's not in a big rally is worth noting here. jon: all right. >> he actually did something that is routine for candidates, to go on the ground and visit a place. he did that with his meeting with some police officials the other day, but t

to louisiana. how they plan to help flood victims and how you can help as well. and where there is tragedy...there are amazing stories of humankind helping one another... how a good samaritan saved a woman who went underwater in louisiana with her car... and if that wasn't enough... he managed to save her dog too... the incredible video... when we under water.... following some of the worst flooding since hurricane katrina.... fox's kelly wright has the latest on the efforts to help those forced from their homes. deadly flooding in louisiana continues to impact cities and towns... as rescue crews have pulled tens of thousands of people from their homes. louisiana governor john bel edwards toured the damage throug edwards says: " , the response phase is still ongoing. we're doing search and rescue right now in many parishes. as the floodwaters move south and the rivers crest further and further south, you have additional areas that are being brought into play. the rain has been ongoing since friday.

we're in zachary, louisiana, there. almost due north of baton rouge and before we bring in our guests, just to repeat the facts, the places that got the worst of the sustained rains in mid-talk as this evil, violent low pressure system just parked itself over parts of louisiana got 30 inches plus that was sustained rain. at its height, the area covered in water was roughly equal to the area of the state of new jersey where it takes, of course, many hours to drive from end to end if that gives you any perspective on the side of the area of damage. roughly 20 counties or parishes, as they're known in louisiana, are consider among the hardest hit. and estimates are hard to come by for damage. one of the more believable estimates are that 60,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed. just an incredible numbers and a lot of folks have been saying that the money pipeline will open up, people need things as basic as ice and fresh water and food and shelter for the night but they're going to need help in hucking out, as it's som

>> what's your message to louisiana? to help out. >> a little hard to hear there but you heard him say he's going to help out. earlier today his son eric trump had this to say about the president's vacation. >> it's disgusting that the president is in martha's vineyard playing golf while people's lives are ruined, people are dead, you have caskets floating down the street, and the president, elected by the people, can't stop a round of golf to check in on the victims of this tragedy. >> leslie rutledge is a trump surrogate. all the presidential candidates should be there, including the president, what do you think? >> absolutely. i agree with eric trump that it is absolutely appalling that our president is in martha's vineyard golfing while we have such devastation in america, in louisiana. i just got off the phone earlier today with the attorney general of louisiana, jeff landry, talking to him about the sort of devastation, the 40,000, 50,000 individuals who have been impacted by this. and i feel good knowing that the

louisiana's larger family newspaper blasting the president saying vacation or not, hurting louisiana now. governor mike huckabee sending an open letter to mister trump writing, quote, maybe if it rains in martha's vineyard and you have to cancer a golf game you might fire up air force one to check on my friend in louisiana. louisiana needs you not because you can personally fix it but because you showing up means a lot of resources will show up as will cameras to help the nation see how bad it is. and 2008 when mister obama was running for president he blasted president george w. bush for not visiting new orleans quickly and a following hurricane katrina. listen to this. >> when they extended their hand for help, help was not there. we can talk about levees that couldn't hold, fema that seemed not just incompetent but paralyzed and powerless, a president who only saw the people from the window of an airplane instead of down here on the ground, trying to provide comfort and 8. trish: now that you are president, why aren't you cutting your vacation short and listening and visiting the

senator from louisiana.o you're watching these pictures and i think a lot of people have known something is going on in louisiana but maybe especially in your mind there hasn't been enough awareness of it across the country, does a visit by donald trump, is that helpful to raising awareness and money? >> i think it is. and i want to thank mr. trump for gcoming to louisiana. i think the governor's op about not coming is a good one, but this is far larger than people can appreciate on television and if you can see it from a drone's prospective and all down louisiana, livingston pairish, all the way over to kalkashu, this was a horrible rain event and louisiana drains about 40% of the entire united states so even when the rain doesn't sit over us like this did when it's rains in minnesota or arkansas we get the water. it's both a blessing an a burden to have too much water an we have too much of it now and it is really a serious disaster and i hope secretary clinton will make her way down, i hope president obam

we've had historic flooding in mississippi and louisiana. in a three day time span anywhere from 25 to 30 inches of rain, devastating there while in colorado the moisture is very limited here and we're coming in where he get those high-based gusty storms and enough sunshine that we're close to 90 in the day. the focus for severe weather into seuss will be outside our state -- into tuesday will be outside our state's border. you may run into airport delays, hail producing storms. we'll be shy of 90 in the city, heat building to the south and cool air north of us stays put, but it's back friday, kind of a pattern the last few weeks. these high-based storms e tracking northwest to the southeast. they don't hold together well and move out. skies clear overnight. good travel i25 and i-70. then we do it again. clouds increasing west of the continental divide. the heavy weather stays over the higher terrain on the i-70 corridor across the western slope until 1:00 or 2:00. one or two cells could drift through tomorrow. mild tonight 64 grand junction

i just had a chance to see some of the damage from the historic floods here in louisiana. i come here first and foremost to say that the prayers of the entire nation are with everybody who lost loved ones. we are heart broken by the loss of life. there are also people who were still desperately trying to track down we're going to keep on helping them every way that we can. as i think anybody who can see just the streets much less the inside of the homes here people's lives have been upended by this flood. local businesses have suffered some terrible damage. families have in some cases lost homes. they certainly lost possessions. priceless keepsakes. woman whose husband died shortly after the birth of her second child, and she was talking about how her daughter was trying to gather all the keepsakes she had in her bedroom, that reminded her of her father. and that gives you some sense that this is not just about property damage, this is about people's roots. you also have a situatihe supposed to start a new school year, and they're going to need some special help and suppor

and some in louisiana as well. as you areware, he was on vacation as much of louisiana was suffering. to be fair, the governor of the state himself and the democrat said he preferred the president wait it visit given the security concerns and logistics that come with such a visit. but politics aside, here is an example of what the president is likely to see when he touches down in louisiana. people's belongs are everywhere. left outside. out on the street. what hasn't been damaged outside is pretty much now ready for the dump. drywall gutted out. ripped out of people's homes. just one of 60,000 homes you are seeing flooded in the damage in these horrific floods. and these scenes replicate block after block after block. our nick valencia has been doing coverage live in louisiana. he is live with us from denim springs. take me through a little bit of the logistics of the president's visit. what is he going to see and how will he be taken through the damaged zone? >> ashley, he is expected to touchdown sometime this h

donations coming in to baton rouge and parts of louisiana is woefully inadequate.ocrats think the federal government just write a check. but americans like to hear the commander in chief and that's what the president supposedly still is. ask them to come together. >> hillary clinton hasn't showed up yet. >> that's what hillary clinton suggested. and please get to the red cross and baton rouge. >> that is great. guys, we are out of time. good to see you both. >> thank you, greg. >> new questions on a murder on podcast. a key alibi witness for the alleged murderer may not be telling the truth. how will that impact the new trial? we'll talk about that. massive wile wild rages out west and how close they are to containing the flames. >> the fire people know they are here and they will have a truck if need be. ce policy is 22 pages long. did you read every word? no, only lawyers do that. so when you got rear-ended and needed a tow, your insurance company told you to look at page five on your policy. did it say "great news. you're covered!" on page five? no. it said, "bl

we'll get back to louisiana as well.this -- martha: plus, five years ago president obama said assad must go. so did hillary clinton at the same time as well. fast forward, he is still very much in power and still attacking the people he calls rebels, and so many getting caught in the crossfire. what does it mean for the next president of the united states? bill: also, was it ransom? state department saying flat out, no. a $400 million payment was paid to iran, and now we can confirm it. here's john kirby from the state department last hour on "america's newsroom". >> look, all these things kind of came together. they were being worked simultaneously. they did converge. we took advantage of that convergence to get our people back out and then, again, to not let the money go until we knew that the iranians would do the right thing here. n a wild ride o jordan & chelsea's wedding. but thanks to booking.com everything turned out perfect. [crying] weird, but perfect. [flute] i've got a nice long life ahead. big plans. so when

trump spent this morning surveying the flood damage in louisiana. chief political correspondent carl cameron is in michigan. a big trump rally right now. good evening, carl. >> that rally just wrapped up. it has been another intense day for the trump campaign. his campaign chairman stepped aside as he scramble ed his schedule to take a look flood ravaged louisiana. trump pushed hispanic roundtable in new york till tomorrow to tour louisiana's devastation, comfort the victims and thank volunteers. >> they need a lot of help. what's happened here is incredible. nobody understands how bad it is. it's really incredible. i'm just here to help. >> reporter: he visited several communities hit by what he called the worst natural disaster since hurricane sandy. and upstaged president obama who is on vacation in martha's vineyard. >> you're not playing golf in martha's vineyard. >> somebody is. somebody is that shouldn't be. when one state hurts, we all hurt. and we must all work together to lift each other up. >> reporter: but in new york, he let go campaign

i mean, look, the people in louisiana are not only in horrible condition, at least in that part of louisiana, but they feel that the country has forgotten them. the president hasn't come, they haven't gotten the great news coverage that they got when hurricane katrina hit new orleans. now, that was a bigger problem. but those is a pretty big one too. and who was there -- was trump, and who wasn't there were hillary clinton and president obama. trish: yeah, she's taking time off. doing a little fundraising, and you're asking. let me ask you, speaking of hillary clinton about this whole clinton foundation issue. now, basically she and her husband are saying, well, look, if she were to become president, he wouldn't take anymore speaking fees, and they will basically not be involved with this foundation anymore. and i guess my question to you, fred, is really? i mean why doesn't it just stop right now? and, by the way, why does it stop when she was secretary of state? >> well, those are both good questions, and they didn't stop when she was secretary of state because the family was still making

in baton rouge, louisiana. his running mate, mike pence, also by his side. we have rosa flores standing by. trump has a rally also in michigan later this evening where jessica snyder is standing by. jessica, let me begin with you on news on paul manafort. what is the reason why he's gone? >> reporter: well, you know, brooke, donald trump himself isn't exactly saying. he issued a basic and somewhat bland response in a statement about paul manafort's resignation this morning. i'll read it to you in part. here goes. "this morning paul manafort offered, and i accepted, his resignation from the campaign. i am very appreciative for his great work in helping to get us where we are today, and in particular his work guiding us through the delicate and convention process. paul is a true professional and i wish him the greatest of success. but of course in that statement, no mention of the distractions that manafort has given the campaign as of late, specifically earlier this week. reports coming out that ukraine's antico

>> well, what we do best in louisiana is take care of one another.heart warmed and gratified that the people in louisiana have had with respect to doing that. but i've also been gratified by the partnership we've had with the federal government, with the folks from fema, who have been embedded with us in baton rouge since last thursday. and since that time, we've had every thing that we needed in terms of assets and resources, we've actually pushed those down to the parish level, so that the local first responders, they have received every request that they've made in a timely fashion, but this flooding is historic. it's unprecedented. there's nothing in the record books that told us what to expect. and that comes despite the fact that it's an unnamed storm. this is not a hurricane. it was not a tropical storm. but it broke all the records, >>> i wachbt to encourage you and the folks that are watching to try to promote the story from that angle. we have what we need from the federal government. >> in terms of what is going to happen in the days ahead
