makin makin was from north carolina, makin was from north carolina. they shared lodging together in washington for 30 year period there are very close personally. makin could be described as solid, cautious, reserved, even somewhat severe and socially very democratic. very very down to earth. randolph on the other hand, was brilliant, very volatile, spontaneous, socially aristocratic. they didn't exactly fit the same old. but they were very close friends. under jefferson and madison administrations, makin and randolph started that. as leaders. speaker of the house and leader in the house. it wasn't long before, and their view, and probably the view of most historians, jefferson and madison became a bit more more expansive in their view of limited government. makin and randolph were determined to hang on to what they viewed as the principle of 1800 which they thought were the old republican philosophy. russell kirk, a conservative thinker in the 1950s gives randolph in particular, also makin, a lot of credit for preserving those concepts of limited gov

carolina, area, right near the border of the north carolina area. >> as a longtime north carolinia carolinian, how would you classify this? >> actually north carolina has been pretty lucky. this is very similar to the winter storms we had. they go all the way from the mountains to the coast. that's a 550-mile area. people don't realize how large north carolina is. not only are we the ninth most populous state of the united states of america. most people don't realize that. we have major urban centers that could be impacted. but we have a lot of small towns that could be impact. almost a 600-mile area. nikki haley in south carolina is having to do the same thing. it's hard to deploy resources not knowing where the area is going to hit. we thought it was going to be in the northeast airy in the outer banks. now it's moved to an area that by car in the southeast airy is three hours and in another area, eight hours. so i'm in raleigh right now. in fact, i dropped by the football game, and it is now pouring down rain at the football game. i stopped by to see the nc/louisville game, and the sky jus

let's go live to north carolina. government, pat, mccrory, is speaking about the conditions there. >> storm activities. i have a great team behind me on stage. i am so proud of the north carolina team in storm preparation and response. we think we have the best team in the united states of america. we are working to the as a team just like we have in the past winter storms. our goals are constantly to be overprepared and underwhelmed. frankly, the good news is that with a hurricane, we are underwhelmed. that's good news for north carolina. the tough news for north carolina and specially south carolina are the continued rains we are going to be keeping track of. i'm going to have our emergency management director give you a clear update on all of this. i do want to let you no know we have flood warnings primarily in the southeastern part of the state and the far southwestern part of the state. this is something we didn't expect two days ago. we expected most of the problems to be in the northeast but they ended up bei

nearly all of north carolina is under a flood watch. the surf is picking up here and so is the wind and this is an area that is used to big storms and this could be a one-two punch. an already drenched east coast now bracing for historic rain and wind that will drag on for days. parts of south carolina slammed with five inches of rain, a fast-rising water flooding roads. and submerging cars. one person killed, another rescued when this road washed away, causing a massive sink hole. all of this because of something called a rex block, a weather pattern with a high pressure front above a low pressure front, dumping large amounts of rain near the low pressure. in this case, heavy downpours will begin in the carolinas and parts of the mid atlantic tonight and last for at least three days. the heavy surf already eroding beaches is expected to bring fierce rip currents and extreme rain. >> i cannot stress enough that we are talking about the real possibility of deadly flooding. >> this afternoon, about a thousand visitors were evacuated from

the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from north carolina, mrs. ellmers, is recognized for two minutes. mrs. ellmers: thank you, i thank the gentlelady from north carolina for allowing me to speak on the floor today. as a sitting member of the energy and commerce committee, i'm proud to see my committee taking the lead on this investigation of planned parenthood. as a woman, a nurse, and a mother, i have fully supported the decision to defund planned parenthood but as a representative of of the people, our responsibilities are more than that. e have a responsibility to ask questions that will produce answers. our constituents deserve to know how this organization is using federal funds and they deserve to know which medical services they are actually providing to women. informing this panel -- in forming this panel, we'll begin finding the facts and hold planned parenthood accountable. thank you, mr. speaker, and i yield back the remainder of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from north carolina, mrs. ellmers, yields back. the gentl

south carolina to north carolina. some parts of south carolina talking more than two feet of rain. historic flooding charleston, columbia. it's a mess down there. that is joaquin pulling away. so futurecast nice and quiet. it's going to stay that way. notice how the clouds thin out late afternoon in southern maryland and sort of pull away tonight for the most part. hanging out on the coast towards norfolk. tomorrow is a nicer day. today and wednesday might be nicest of the week. 67 today. 52 tonight with the 40s in the suburbs. tomorrow, wednesday, just a couple of real sweet days moving our way with highs in the mid 70s. thursday a touch cooler. low 70s. a threat for showers on friday. then the weekend looks like going to the -- ravens home this weekend. looking good with the highs in the >>> all right. pretty interesting video from alaska. two moose in a battle to be top dog. a man had front row seats as the animals went antler to antler. it's breeding season. the two duke it out from one side of the street to the o

the over big story, some tropical moisture will move up into south carolina and north carolina. they could have tremendous historic flooding over the next couple of days. certainly keep that in your thoughts here. for us, more rain moving it's way northward tonight. most of the rainfall is going to be around the new hampshire border and southward. it is not going to be enough to cause flooding but we have seen plenty of it over the course of that week. winds continue to howl. there have been some ferry disruptions. you want to check with those scheduled this weekend. wind advisory continues till 11:00 a.m. for tomorrow. some gust could reach as high as 50 miles per hour. areas of rain throughout the overnight and into tomorrow morning. as we head through saturday becomes more wide spread in nature. still a lot of clouds. a very raw day to be outside. by saturday little punch of dryer air will come done from the north. up towards new hampshire, western mass, we should be able to break into some sunshine by the end of the sunday. in terms of rain totals, 1 and a half to 2 and a ha

it's also to the north and north carolina. and one of the main problems here with charleston is the fact that this is a town that's 300 years old so you can imagine the sewer system has been updated many, many times in modern history and they're just concerned that this sewer system is not going to be able to retain and hold all this water in the coming days and that perhaps raw sewage may become an issue. but so far, thankfully, it is not. this rain will continue through monday here and then sunny skies ahead. >> all right, robert, thank you very much. kevin is here to pick up on that story. there's only so much the system there can take. but there's more coming. >> there is. we're expecting in certain locations maybe even up to 18 inches of rain across not just the southern but into the mountains. we'll get into that in a moment. i want to update you on joaquin which is helping to pump that moisture up to north carolina. we're going to start to see that system actually push through. i want to show you the maps if we can get

but this year the fcc overturned those restrictions in two states, tennessee and north carolina. i talked with u.s. representative marsha blackburn who has presented legislation in congress for the fcc ever doing that again. it's a right of sovereignty. >> we think it's a state's rights issue, we don't think fcc has the right the come in and override state and local rights. it is important for state to retain that ability to make these decisions within their borders. so it is house bill 1106 representative or senator tillis out of north carolina and i have done this legislation. but the wilson, north carolina, the chattanooga tennessee situation it would prohibit that type of intervention by the fcc. the second point is that whether you're looking at chattanooga or utopia, which is the utah situation, you have seen a lot of public debt accrue to the citizens. >> right. >> whether they go in and try odid these. chattanooga, they each have about a half billion dollars of debt now tied to these systems. >> right now, except that chattanooga had calculated a return on investment, and

coastal areas in north carolina and virgin saw flooding. the slow-moving storms saved the crush for south carolina. >> i received a phone call from president obama, he was gracious and kind. we did a verbal request for a major disaster declaration. those things cover individual assistance, public assistance for things like debris removal and emergency protective measures, hazard mitigation, damage to infrastructure, and to expedite that we did it verbally. >> f.e.m.a. state and local officials along with the national guard assess the damage, which could add up in the billions. >> there are still hundreds of roads closed in the state capital. drinking water is not safe for thousands of people. there's a boil order in many places. schools are cancelled. businesses not open as the assessment begins and the recovery effort goes on for weeks, possibly months >>> robert ray in south carolina. >> u.s. coast guard officials say they believe the cargo ship that disappeared in the middle of hurricane joachim sunk. it apparently was trying to ride out

so we in north carolina are still very, very lucky. although the next 24 hours will make a difference on how much more saturated the ground will become. the other area that most people should be talking about, that they aren't, but our farmers are impacted by this also, the peanut farmers, sweet potato farmers, cotton farmers, their crops -- we're very concerned about their crops being underwater and they could lose a whole year of investment that they've made in these crops. it's right at the worst time of our season. so, we have to put also media focus on the livelihood of a lot of farmers and also the food supply that they help out the entire nation with. >> sure. >> so they're there -- we're going to really get an evaluation of that, once this rainfall ends, but the timing couldn't have been worse for this rain. although it could have been much worse, had that hurricane shifted more toward the west. >> that's right. that's right. certainly kind of a mixed curse and a blessing if you think about it that way. north carolina governor,

the speaker pro tempore: the gentlelady from north carolina reserves. now the gentlelady from new york. ms. slaughter: thank you very much, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, if we heard anything this entire day, it is the misuse of public tax money for select committees overdoing investigations that everybody that has investigated before has already said that there is no there-there. i'm happy to take the word of mr. pallone saying the democrat staff on energy and commerce found there was nothing wrong here. mr. chaffetz spent five hours delving into what planned parenthood does or does not do and he said they have not broken any law. that's not good enough because everybody is doing so well here making political points and attacking a presidential candidate. that's not our job. in fact, i'm pretty sure that's against federal law for us to use public money for that action. we are going to do it twice and who knows how many more before the end of this year. it's a big disgrace is the misuse of tax money of the american people in a house and congress that has no

we are dealing with a historic situation in south carolina and maybe north carolina and virginia. it is difficult to say where these line of storms are going to line up. but we know that somebody in here, a lot of people will get incredible rainfall that will cause many problems and areas of west virginia and virginia and north carolina and spots there that may be looking at those rainfall totals over the weekend. up to the big cities from dc and philadelphia and new york and boston. that is a cut off. washington d.c. could see heavy rainfall and localized flooding. and the new york city area. things are going to be looking fine and maybe winds and certainly we are going to deal with rain from time to time. computer models here. we have a big spread and discounting these out in the western side of the picture here. i would give less than two percent chance. that verifies. that that is keeping it out to shore. that is good news. rainfall in the carolinas. and that will be our story all weekend long. one other thing to deal with is beach erosion. showing you this one more time. all

north carolina. so, just widespread flooding. narrow strip, about inch and a half to 2 inches shall specially north and south carolina. and southern north carolina, has shifted farther nutter. so at least the area already fell 20 inches, probably won't see whole lot of additional rain. here is the set up, storm scan3, still little tropical connection going on. that flow right off the atlantic. now basically coastal, north carolina, around cape look-out, seeing the heaviest rain, that trend will continue for about another 24 hours. back home, we still have some flood issues going on, specially for the back base, later on this evening, we still have that push of air, coming out of the northeast, that winds, that's backing up the waters. watch out, tidal creeks, back bays, potential for minor tidal flooding after high tide. wind flow out of the north, sustained about 15 miles per hour, still seeing gusts over 20 at the shore. temperatures though starting to warm up little bit. still little cooler than a

the front has now stalled, and the low pressure system down around north carolina and south carolina, it will travel right up the front, parking itself offshore, sucked inland, and a chance of rain. more so on friday, and then watching the effects of joaquin as joaquin pushes to the north, and how it interacts with the high, that's so important. high pressure means nice weather, and this is how we will see the track. the 3 to the west, and then it will make the turn maurice to the north, and it will gain strength over the warm, shallow waters of the bahamas, and pushing to a cat 2 with 110- mile an hour winds. if it moves inland, it could still go out to sea. remember that high pressure system i talked to you about? it's all about the high camp right about there, and pushes it inland. if that high doesn't set up there, you still have the chance to go out to sea, and there's a fleeting chance, getting smaller, but it's a chance nonetheless. here's how we can see it, 60 for thursday, and then it's like an in between sort of day. the coastal concerns that the wind will be blowing out the

weijia jang is live in nags head, north carolina. how's the weather now? >> reporter: we have really strong winds and rain. there is good news though. here on the outer banks, officials decided an evacuation order is not necessary but they are expecting difficult conditions for the next several days. the waves are crashing in virginia beach as a powerful rainstorm makes its way up the east coast. but forecasters say the conditions won't be as bad as they could have been now that hurricane joaquin is not threatening a direct hit in the u.s. >> almost all the models in good agreement now. it's a northward movement well away from the east u.s. coast. only chances of landing are possibly nova scotia. >> reporter: the category 4 hurricane is whipping the central and eastern bahamas for the second straight day. moisture from the storm is causing the heavy rainfall along the east coast. streets are flooding in ocean city, maryland. on the jersey shore, bulldozers created sand piles to act as barriers just in case. >> we're not getting the amount of rain that we t

lou toys about north carolina. charlotte. but we'll see this break off into a big chunk of rain that comes no new england. not too concerned about this western half of the storm as it drifts up to michigan then ontario. so our folk suss what is coming through the mid atlantic and that means pretty much a lot of wind, too. 1-2 inches of rain. we need it badly. no one is going to sniffle about this. storms are possible. thunder wednesday night and gust 25-45 miles an hour and again maybe on thursday with a second surge as a front moves through. warm, windy on thursday, as our temperatures climb up to 70 degrees. yikes, the sup breaks back out. sun breaks back out. so the rain first wave of it coming through in the afternoon. the real heavy stuff will hold back until 10:00, 11:00 then go through the downpours and these brief pauses in between each downpour going to the wee hours of the morning. on thursday, final round should be between 7:00 and 8:00. then it pushes away, we break it up into some sunshine. on thursday there may

the cone of uncertainty stretches from north carolina up towards our area. we will be watching this very closely. either way, regardless of where it makes landfall, we expect heavy rain and a lot of wind. that's why we're especially watching our coastal areas. again, we're looking at a very messy weekend. that's going to amp up going into friday. jim? >> sheena, i know there are comparisons already to hurricane sandy. is that legit? how do the two storms compare so far? >> i think it's only fair to try to compare a storm like this to hurricane sandy because of the similarities that we do see. right now, we'll compare the similarities. we have the same setup. the big area of high pressure to the north causing the left ward turn, causing it with sandy. right towards the shore. the forecast, those are in disagreement. we do expect that, though. going through time with the storms. as we look at the differences, stronger but also more exact. a lot more rain ahead of the storm as well. and the track does appear to be farther south than sandy. of course, all these

calling from rawly, north carolina. i don't have -- raleigh, north carolina. i don't have questions. i have comments regarding the workings of the house. the remainder of the leadership, the whip, the conference leader, still kevin mccarthy and i don't know who the whip was and the conference secretary, or do those go into new election also? and can the speaker request that the rest of his leadership team undergo a new election? host: he certainly can. no indication they're going to leave. let's listen in and hear from congressman cole. inaudible] kristi nome and jeb hensarling did an exceptional job. been here 17, 18 years. he's a guy we admired every step of the way. we're all convinced he can do. >> [inaudible] mr. cole: no. trey gowdy, he's better than me. >> was there any grumbling about the budget? mr. cole: no. it was focused on the elections so no discussion about that. -- [inaudible] mr. cole: i think they committed to a really good guy. they sent the message they wanted to send. i don't think there's any doubt that members will feel very comfortable

but when we get down here to north carolina, especially south carolina. we're still looking at the potential for over a foot of rain, and a large area, not isolated, large widespread and all that rain has to focus and funnel into those rivers. and when it does so, it's not like just a foot. then it gets like two to three feet higher. that's why we're expecting major flooding in areas of the carolinas. in the other story. this is already starting to take place now, it will get worse during the weekend, coastal flooding. we have coastal flood warnings from virginia beach to hampton roads area all the way up towards the jersey shore. and amy we're going to be watching each high tide cycle getting worse. by the time we get to sunday, some areas are going to see water levels six feet higher than where they should be and that's going to cause watt near homes in some cases, and also a lot of roads will be washed out. >> wow. we hope people stay safe. bill karins, thank you so much. >>> turning to the middle east, at least 13 people, including six u.s. service me

it's a similar story up the nos north carolina where the rain just keeps on falling. and in new jersey, one home is in the water. the heavy rain is blamed for at least two deaths. >>> and closer to home we have our own dangerous weather to worry about. winds are gusting prompting a warning for parts of the bay area. meteorologist brian hackney is in sausalito tonight where the wind was certainly blowing earlier. hi, brian. >> reporter: if anything it's strongers since we last talked. wind gusts in the bay area are approaching 60 miles an hour at this hour and there are whitecaps on the bay. we reported them earlier. as soon as you see those whitecaps you know the winds are at least about 23 miles an hour. stronger than that over the bay. right now the peak gusts up to 59 miles an hour at mount diablo. it's blowing at ocean beach up to 50 miles per hour. oakland 36-mile-an-hour gusts. because of the strong winds, there are red flag warnings in the north bay hills at 30 miles an hour and higher elevations could approach 60 miles an hour. the real problem is the last lin

and dirty faroe. >> take us back to north carolina. i know you said a lot of people who grew up in this small town, kinston, they leave. why did you decide to leave? >> well i just had like big dreams. i want to like walk somewhere other than the car. and order take out. i wanted to live in a town with an applebies, believe it or not. >> modest dreams. >> i know. i know. and so i went to college and then i moved to new york and worked -- >> you tried advertising. >> i did. i did. and i found that desk work was probably not for me. so i started working in restaurants. starting as a server and found my way into the kitchen and -- >> and as we mentioned you had a very successful career here this new york. >> i think if i had stuck with it i could have. i was certainly in the right places and right kitchens but i was not a leader in any of those places. >> what made you go back home, i'm ready? >> opportunity. my family helped us open a restaurant. >> this was an interesting pivot point for you. there were investors who offered to help you

tropical moisture out of the hurricane into south carolina, north carolina. over the next few days the storm will move away and the moisture will come out of the tropical atlantic. enough moisture to cause flooding. 32 in annapolis. 31 in arlington. chilly temperatures. that is the story. as far as the floods, steve rudin has the story and there is a lot to tell. steve: with the heavy rain tonight and tomorrow morning we have a flash flood watch up for the d.c. metro area. this is not until 8:00. this includes the district, arlington, alexandria and fairfax. all of southern maryland until 8:00 saturday morning. show you what is going on with the live doppler radar. a wet rush hour commute. if you expect someone home on time, expect delays. the traffic is backed up quite a bit. heaviest rain north of d.c. more to come moving through the overnight hours. a bit of a lull in the action. notice across virginia. this is the break. this is going to move ahead in the next few hours. more rain to come late tonight and tomorrow morning. this is the future cast. the rai

south carolina, north carolina, new jersey, virginia, all declared states of emergency. more heavy flooding could hit the states all the way up the east coast. nick valencia is in charleston, south carolina. the president just issuing a state of emergency there. largely that's tied to getting some federal funding in there to help. >> well, certainly. they could use all the help that they can get. this, poppy, is the most relief we have had all day long, this area of road i'm standing on right now, usually a heavily trafficked intersection and street in the city of charleston. water up to ankles now. you can see that's receded, but the problem back here still remains. those cars have been there all morning long, finally getting towed out, since the water has receded to where it's safe for the tow truck drivers to get in here, but it has been a storm that's coupled with hurricane joaquin to present life threatening dangers. four people have lost their lives in the states of north carolina and south carolina combined, three traffic related fatalities, another losing their l

the presiding officer: the senator from north carolina. mr. tillis: thank you, madam president. i rise today to talk about a subject i touched on about a month ago regarding current trade negotiations. you know, i don't blame elected officials for pushing legislation, policy proposals or ideas that further their own state's interests. in fact, i think that that's one of the first things that we should do here is make sure that folks that elected us, that we're standing up for them. but i also think that there comes a time when we need to recognize that the long-term interest of our constituents, while they may look like they're served by some of the immediate thingdz we're doing here, in the long term they can harm us. that the why i want to talk about the current status of the t.p.p. or transpacific partnership. i learned overnight they have tabled language which would put certain grown commodities out of the protection, trade deals, dispute settlement, isds mechanism. what they've decided to do right now relates to tobacco. by carving out to
