to go to the state senate in mississippi, or the state senate in louisiana or georgia, the records are gone after a certain period of time. and once replaced is the story of us as sharecroppers, that we had defeatist attitude, that we didn't want any better. we could not achieve any better, which is why, you know, in the 1880s all of us were sharecroppers. it wasn't because of that. it was because laws were created so that that was all we could do. so i completely agree. overtime we have allowed the history to be beaten out of us. and we focus so much on the, like i said, on the course that they experienced here because that too needs to be recorded. but we have never focused the idea of how strong, how the soles were stronger than we expected. the soles of slaves were stronger. their strength was stronger than we give them credit for. we haven't documented that and because we haven't documented that, we have in its place, you know, there is a postmaster slave syndrome. slaves were traumatized by their experience which led to where we are today. interestingly enough i went to interview in kentucky to a woman who talked about her father chose not to beat her

in mississippi, and is a rarity. the average annual income in mississippi is less than $35,000 a year, and yet this private therapy runs most of us around $50,000 a year. it is impossible for many of the constituents back home to a for the therapy that they know will make their job better. -- to afford at the therapy. i beg you to look at ways that we can afford intensive behavioral therapy for all children. these children that i mentioned who have received this therapy, even at the age of 5, they already are requiring less classroom support than they would have. you can see the financial bright spots down the road of investing in early, intensive behavioral therapy. the question i will leave you with is, if we know that we are looking at a $90 billion annual health care cost, and we are looking -- we are looking at initial investments of around $32,000 a year, and we know that over that child's life, we can see health care returns at roughly $2.5 billion of health care savings for their children who get this, the question is, can we afford not to make that investment? >> a very profound statement. thank you very much. now we wil

in florida or into mississippi or florida or texas, or alabama? is there something that we have not looked at from the past that would give us an indication of maybe a mitigation of the impact? b because the damages are so much higher now because of the intensi intensity. so, my question is to anyone. yes. >> senator hutchinson, it is a very important question and one that as your bill states got a lot of looking at in the 1970's. but then there was a drought so to speak of weather mitigation activities. i would like to make four points with regard to modification. number one, you really need good numerical forecast models to do weather modification of hurricanes because you need to know the modification you are going to try to impute to the hurricane will have the intended effe effect. that is a challenge in and of itself and really requires the best research and forecast technology you could have. we have run simulations of tornadic thunderstorms, of hurricanes, and we know through simulations that there is no question you can change the course of a hurricane, kill it off, kill off a thunderstorm before it produces a tornado. but that brings me

us pretty warm temperatures by the weekend. here is a look at the national satellite-radar composite. again, the activity that we're seeing is in the eastern olunit states and in the plains along the mississippiiver. got some pretty good rain showers in portions of arkansas and mississippi and western portions of tennessee. also some activity now in central nebraska. the forecast for washington for today looks like this. we'll see increasing cloudiness. right now, it is mostly cloudy at reagan national airport. scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms i'm hot, humid day. 90degrees for your high. i think some of the thunderstorms will be drenching thunderstorms so you will get some downpours out there. for tonight, some lingering showers and thunderstorms in the early part of the evening. mostly cloudy overnight low about 71 degrees downtown. here is a look at the five-day forecast. 83degrees for your high tomorrow so a big difference because tomorrow, after that cold front come through, with we'll have cooler, drier air. then those temperatures jump up into the 90s in time for the weekend. now, let's found out what is happening with traffic. for that, we go toe lauren demarco. >> we've g

joining us from oxford, mississippi, good to see you, chef, coca-cola and fried chicken. >> coca-cola and fried chicken. we took inwo hours. >> based on the rooek down there, after katrina, you rebuilt the restaurant. why do men like this, what about the coca-cola makes the fried chicken so good. >> i think that coke is a southern thing. f forgive the guys from pepsi. i started doing it with my thanksgiving turkey. >> how long will it sit there? >> at least two hours, i mean, best about two hours, but you can leave it overnight. >> so, are we real men when you look at us and say, alisyn, you can't come over here, because it's real men. >> it's manly, but i like it, too. >> we're not going to get any cooking down. >> you've got the ingredients here and throwing all the ingredients in. quickly, what do you have in there? >> flour, onion powder, salt, pepper, a little bit of cayenne, and this is, you don't see a whole lot of thin battered fried chicken in the south most is dredged. >> stick around for the after the show show. and we'll go through the process in the after the show show as well. she's making the differ

with part is for the procedures used with then it brings to this so that the state of louisiana -- by the weather was a similar amount not as high outstanding in mississippi could get on with it. this is one dead and lock in that we need to say broken right away at a time when the economy is on its knees every where including louisiana and mississippi. >> i understand the. >> what is being done to break the deadlock between fema and the state of louisiana on $3 billion still in dispute? >> madam chair, as we go through the outstanding projects that are being written, we have set up a team with a state in baton rouge that is a very high level. >> that consists of the party is. >> our staff and their staff that are working to max out as i explained to you when you pager courtesy visits committees have these parties have a structural problems and i'm going to lay this on the record so everybody knows what our concern is -- this is a structural problem. you're mandate is two keep louisiana and mississippi from getting too much money. the mandate of the state of louisiana and mississippi is to get as much from the federal government as they can. there analyze

in florida, it weakened very rapidly. right now it's moving through parts of alabama and mississippi. and the general trend has it going towards illinois. so, that is far enough to the west of us're not really looking to be bothered much by any rainor anything serious from that storm. it's dumping anywhere from three to six inches in places along its path. for us today, 91 degrees, partly sunny and it's going to be hot for us this afternoon. also on the humid side so it will feel warmer than that 91 degrees. 68 degrees for us and partly cloudy and humid tonight. and then the next seven days show we are going to be in the 90s for a while. we're looking at low 90s, not only today but then tuesday, wednesday, thursday, probably lasting into friday as well. and then the chance of showers and thunderstorms comes in wednesday afternoon and evening and then we have that chance lingering in there due to the front and other things in the atmosphere. so we will have that chance of thundershowers lingering with us all the way through probably until the weekend. back to you. >>> this is it. the week you drive, take to the airport, put on a train or kiss your college student goodbye. eric

mississippi do not. and that, since they are using a formula that has absolutely no relation to current day realities is precisely what congress did in 2006, with overwhelming republican support, because republicans understood that the best thing that ever happened to their party, and i was in the midst of making this happen, was majority, minority districts because of the adjacent districts were of course predominately white districts in the south. and i think the principal reason for the republican gains in the '90s in the south was because of section five of the voting rights act. so of course, being people who are interested in on self-interest the republicans were more supportive of continuing this section five regime than the democrats. to get back to the basic topic here, trends in the corporate every year we get all these scribes and scholars together and discern this trend and we are moving this way and stuff. you may want to jot this down. it's kennedy scored. whatever justice kennedy wants, that's the trend to get the cases come up anyway where he sides with the conservatives, then it will be a conservative term. if it is

us. i'm steve chenevey. >> and i'm allison seymour. hard to believe but four years ago tomorrow hurricane katrina hit the gulf coast. 1600 people were killed in lousiana and mississippihurricane left behind more than $40 billion in property damage and the region is still rebuilding. however, because of all of the rebuilding, the economy in new orleans region is among the healthiest in the country today. >> and i'm one of the many that can't believe it was four years ago already. and when you see pictures of new orleans now, some of it looks exactly the same. a good part looks the same as it did four years ago. >> let me clarify. it was a category three when it made landfall. >> okay. >> one of the freakishly large storms, when you go back it looks like it took up the gulf of mexico. >> it was a dangerous storm and maximum winds when it hit landfall were 125 miles per hour. wrong place at the wrong time. >> fortunately it was in the category five when it hit. >> and the damages were worse. >> and we haven't had anything to worry about so far this year. >> danny. >> and he's no katrina. i heard you call him anemic. don't do that. >> he's a pip squeak of a storm. maximu

closest to us and that would be claudette made its way to the north, coming onshore in the parts of the panhandle and back into alabama, and i can tell you there are places in alabama and mississippi that could be dealing with flooding, possibly rainfall totals anywhere from maybe 3 to 6 inches. if you want an idea where the storm is headed. brings it up right along parts of the alabama and into mississippi border, eventually stalling out right near memphis, tennessee. a big rainmaker from now to tuesday. and the next storm, this one is a little bit farther off to the east, obviously, talking about hurricane bill. the time being, bill, is a -- as we mentioned hurricane winds right at 75 miles an hour. this too was forecast to be something considerably stronger, major hurricane. category three with winds in excess of 120 miles an hour as we get into thursday, then into friday, then saturday. right now the path between bermuda and the u.s. mainland, but a lot of changes can take place between now and the next couple of days. we'll watch it carefully and of course, we've got anna, we will touch on that one in mere moments. >> a right. thank you, reynolds. >> you bet. >>> let's get yo

a movie -- where are you in the president did not telling us what we can and cannot do with our own money? host: i think we will go to our next caller from tupelo, mississippiller: that was an interesting question. [laughter] guest: i want to know how you get the corvette. caller: being from mississippi and republican i have a minority view. it seems the best thing we could do is go to single-payer medicare-style. the biggest market to drive costs down would be every american in wonder. that would be the biggest co-op. the other thing, if we did our exports, the cost would go down. if we try to sell american cars overseas we are 17% behind europeans. if you had single-payer, that wouldn't happen. the other thing, you would see an explosion in the growth of small businesses. the biggest thing keeping them from growing now is the tight credit -- decides that it is the healthcare insurance costs. if we can reform the system, the other thing i think would happen if she would have more international business come into this country because there would not have to worry about health care costs. if they decide to build a factory without the expense of health care,

in mississippi. and that is a rarity. with mississippians, the annual average income is less than $35000 a year. and yet, this private therapy runs most of usaround over $50000 a year. so it is impossible for many of their constituents back home to afford the therapy that they know will make their child better. so on behalf of those mississippians, i beg you to look at ways that we can afford intensive behavioral therapy for all children. these children that i mention that have received this intensive behavioral therapy, even at the age of five, they already requiring less classroom support than they would have. you can see the financial bright spots down the road of investing in early intensive behavioral therapy. so the question i guess i will leave you with is, if we know that we are looking at a $90 billion annual health care costs, and we are looking, and i put the information that i have turned into you, and we are looking at initial investments of around $32000 a year, and we know that over that child's life, we can see health care returns roughly at about $2.5 million of health care savings for those children who get this, the quest

in their bowl game. how is nick saban using last year's finish to motivate this year's team? >> well, a lot of people around here remember the year before when alabama lost to mississippimes. they put up posters around the locker room and the players were reminded of those games every single day. well, this year it's been how the team finished, and the one theme that we've heard already from players and saban is that word "finish." finish a game, finish play, finish everything. >> glen coffee has proved on to an nfl career. who will take the reins of the tide's running game? >> that's going to be one of the big questions of training camp where they have a couple guys from last year including mark ingram and upshaw who will try to get that job, but trent richardson coming in and a couple other freshmember high have something to say about it. that's one of the few spots offensively no one is sure how it will shake out yet. >> what will what this team does, what will tell you that this team is in good shape to win the s.e.c., chris? >> well, last year we kind of had a feeling early on, even before the clemson game, that there was a real focus with this team, and you could

in philadelphia, mississippi where three workers were recently killed? guest: i think it was a campaign decision and probably not a good one. host: it did gain negative publicity, can you tell use about that? guest: yes, there are a lot of things that go on when a president is trying to decide who will be president and where they go on what they do. that particular one, as far as i know, reagan did not say it was where and why. he went to dozens of people. but i do not think it was what he just said. host: good morning, wisconsin. caller: i would like to know what the position was on reagan's position to pittsburgh and his refusal to visit a concentration camp. in my mind this defined his presidency above and beyond anything i can never match. i would like to hear your take on it, thank you. guest: i think that's helmut kohl, the german leader of the time, very much wanted ronald reagan to come to germany. reagan wanted to do that. kohl had been extremely supportive on the issue of putting our persian two missiles in germany and cruise missiles elsewhere in europe. reagan felt a commitment to dokohl as the leader of west germany -- allreagan felt a commitment to kohl. guest: t

in the educational landscape of the country. host: that is former senator rich bye joining us. thanks for your time, senator. guest: thank you. my heart goes out to the family. host: new albany, mississippion the republican line. caller: yes. it is like a tall lady, no matter what good he has done in the senate -- like i told the lady, the fact that he got drunk, drove off a bridge and allowed the young lady to die -- the only reason he was knocked tried for the homicide was because his name was kennedy. host: miami, fla., on the line for democrats. caller: you have a lot of disembodied spirit that will always comment negatively because their parents, their grandparents, and great grandparents, when they came over from england basically had good intentions, but there was another crowd that a general brought that were in the jails and prisons. what we have are the children of those-prisoners and bad folks that were in england who were not want to the. it has come home to roost. -- you have the children of those prisoners and the folks that were in england that were not wanted there. not all republicans are the sending of the rockefeller republicans are from the republicans you see now. th

us and south of virginia. showers dissipate as we lot of the daytime heating through new york and pennsylvania. we expect to see things warm up and showers around here. strong storms down in the lower mississippia front approaches, we have a chance of strong storms for this afternoon. here the you are surface feature moving it. the cold front will bring a chance of stormy conditions for the afternoon, western counties around 4:00 p.m. for the central counties around 6:00 p.m. as the front approaches we get a chance of a couple of showers and continuing late at night according this around 11:00 p.m. for some locations and then on the back side of that frontal bound boundry seeing showers linger and the front sits to the south and brings more chances for well tomorrow afternoon only the eastern shore. southern part of the eastern shore then. otherwise high pressure builds in and we get a dry day it out of. once more warm moist air coming up from the south. we've also got the frontal boundry moving into the warm air and that's the recipe for strong thunderstorm that's could be strong or severe. as far as mow rain? not a whole lot in rain totals. a .10 of an inch today and tomorrow. and three quar
