[applause] when i became governor of south carolina, south carolina was hurting. we had double digit unemployment. we had thousands of people on welfare. we wanted to get things back on track. by the time i left, we were an economic powerhouse. we brought in five international tire companies. we were referred to as the beast of the southeast. unemployment went down to 4%. you should have to show picture id to protect the integrity of the election process. we passed voter id in south carolina. [applause] we passed one of the toughest immigration laws. we require businesses to show that everybody who they hired was in the country legally. and then we basically make sure that south carolina was back on its deed. we put reforms in our prison systems that have left us with the lowest recidivism rate in the country. we were named the friendliest state in the country. and the most patriotic. and then i got the call for the united nations. my answer truly was i don't know what they do. i know everyone hates them. but when you get the chance to serve your country, you do i

and so what i now know if you were a white male in spartanburg county, south carolina, between 40 and 1880, and a coroner standing above your body, how did you die die. a combination of alcohol and stupidity. so we have this idea, right, of the old south, particularly as this place of knife fights and gouging and dueling. it's so much than that. if you were a white, female, spartanburg county, south carolina, same period coroner standing above your body. how did you die? you hung yourself. if you were an african american male, you hung yourself and weren't hung by somebody else. so it's a land, no social services. it's a place where white men are drinking and their dependents to death. it's actually a land of massive rural poverty and inequality. and that's the way people go out of the in such a place. okay. your assignment is going to be to write one inquest as a story. take it as a starting point and it to tell me something about life and death in the 19th century south. so you just take one case and you try to peel like an onion, tell its story, but also try to branch out and to gi

we have heavy rain to deal with across places like south carolina and north carolina.you're wondering about the track. we're still expecting it to maintain, but just barely that category 1 strength that i wouldn't be surprised if we see it weaken to a tropical storm by the time 8:00 rolls around and it's right over savannah. it will eventually move offshore. wilmington, cape hatteras, still is going to deal with the heavy rain and the storm surge. that's going to be one of the things that we will continue to see be an issue here as we get into the later evening hours as that high tide time rolls around. plus, we've also got those tornado watches in effect for parts of georgia, including savannah. it hasn't expired yet. set to expire at 3:00 p.m. we'll see if they're going to extend that. this one includes charleston to wilmington, that will last until 10:00 p.m. we want you to be aware of tornadoes after the sun goes down. they are 50% more deadly. watch for that in this region. we're going to start to see it winding down for florida. this isn't going to be winding dow
