john jacobs is the mayor of robert lee. and he is on the phone with me. mr. mayor, thank you for calling in. i've got chad myers here, been watching the weather as well. i want him to chime in on this. this is stunning, this number. your town is down to less than 1% of its water supply. 99% of your water source is gone. sounds like you don't have much more than a mud puddle left. >> well, that's true, ma'am, it's getting pretty low. there's still some in the neighborhood of 353 acre feet out there. we've still got some water. >> i know it is your birthday, 65 years young. have you ever seen anything like this? >> no, ma'am, not with this much heat, wind and lack of rain. this is a first for me. >> let me explain. i know you know this very well. just west of your town is a reservoir that serves right around 1,000 people in your town. you are the only town still using this reservoir. if the rains don't come, mayor, then what? how do you get water? >> we're in the process of negotiating and building a pipeline to coke county sister city bront which is 12 miles t

it is so dry, the town of robert lee is running out of water. right now it is down to 1% of its normal supply. the town gets its water from a lake and it's almost dry after months of drought. >> surprise, this is west texas. it quits raining at times. >> if no rain comes through, where are you guys going to get it from? >> i have no idea, to be honest. i don't know where you would go to find somebody that has excess water. >> all of us have wasted so much in our time and our life, that if we wouldn't have, none of us would be going through this right now. >>> a man ordered to keep away from the white house jumped the fence and caused a white house lockdown. it all unfolded live during cnn's john king usa program. here's how it went down. >> the secret service has just rushed out of the white house moments ago, guns drawn is the part that was interesting. i covered this building for eight years, you see there someone who has jumped the fence, crawling on the fence. sometimes this happens unfortunately as a stunt, it has happened in the past, some

when robert e. leerode out nine mile road on sunday june 1st, 1862, to the assumed command of the army of northern virginia, there were i will tell you very few people who were quite optimistic about prospects. there were a few in the regiment but there were not many. he had that great virginia family name of west point, a model soldier in many ways, but he commanded in western virginia in the fall of 61 and between lousy weather and even worse subordinates there was a failed campaign so that kind of hung over his reputation. actually, he was temporarily exiled if you will to south carolina and georgia to build coastal defenses until march of 1862 when jefferson davis need a military advisers and she chose lee and joined davis. what was critical for the next march, april and may was these two men developed mutual respect and trust for each other, whereas davis had so many problems with johnston, if you ask johnston he would have problems with jefferson davis, johnston withheld information from davis and

this is a biography of robert lee that she recommended her constituents must read.at point, they didn't respond to questions about that so she's yet to be asked why she recommended a book that is objectively pro-slavery. that will be an issue she has to deal with in the coming days and weeks. >> it's a great piece. thank you so much. >>> just hours after the ames straw poll results get in, michele bachmann will be david gregory's guest on a special edition of "meet the press" live from iowa. check your local listings for times. >>> and a big vote of no confidence in the new "washington post" poll. huge majorities, in fact, most americans now are giving up hope that most government officials can come to the rescue. nearly 80% say that our political system simply is not working. joining me now to break it down, eugene robinson, pulitzer prize winning columnist with "washington post." so this poll was really startling in that so many people, not just wrong track, people really are giving up hope in government and its ability to fix not only the economy, but almost anyt

robert e. lee was sent down to defend charleston staying at the mills house. fire broke and out, he had to leave and the family offered to put him out here so this is where robert e. lee stayed the short time he was here and the defenses of charleston most importantly i think is that when he was in charleston he bought his famous horse traveller and began growing the famous white beard comes of the house is open to the public and it's a very charming mix sample of the architecture. >> for more information on book tv's recent trip to charleston south carolina, does it
