it was a south carolina. don't thread on me. he thread on the honorable lindsey graham and he rose up like that snake and he bit them. we're not going to let them thread on us. and this republican party, this state republican party is the vehicle through which we will stand up and strong for the things we believe in. so i want to thank you for being here. i want to thank you for all that you've done. we have work to do. i'm proud of you. i'm proud of donald trump. i'm proud of our republican party. i'm proud of our successes. and we're going to have some more. we stick together in this state better than they do anywhere else. most of us related either by blood or marriage or something. it's easy. we can turn on a dime. we're right in the middle of the size of the states in the country. we're right in the middle of the population. there are a lot of states that have fewer people than we do. but we have a great, great impact on this country. we have a great impact. and we're going to have more and more success and to quote that gr

all in south carolina. they say the people of south carolina, it is a handshake state. they're loyal. they're honest, hard working. dependable and smart. when they give you their word they'll keep it. that is unusual in this whole world that's why they're coming to south carolina. that is the core of south carolina. that is the core of our republican creed. it is the core of what we believe in. and it is what is making us a great and greater state. but there are some things we have to do. and i want your help to do. because we're really flying high. lindsay mentioned georgia, north carolina. they're looking at us every day. tennessee doesn't have an income florida doesn't have an income tax. tax. we've got an income tax. it's too high. it's too high. we've got to cut the income tax. [applause] and i have proposed about a $2 pn 2 billion cut across all of the income tax brackets in south carolina. and also speaking of that military tradition, our first responders, all the men and women in uniform i've proposed and i hope the legislature will accept and i hope you agree t

it must have taken you quite a bit to get up to speed on south carolina history. >> south carolina history course is basically i guess you would say u.s. history with a couple extra things, but it's just come in youngstown there's a ton of good history but south carolina of course you just mention one of the original 13 colonies, you have a couple at least another 200 years of history there. just an example, my grandparents came down to visit about two, three weeks ago and their big thing is they like to go visit cemeteries. see who was buried where. i did not realize that the town i'm living in has a a great site of the guy who shot the canon at the battle of fort sumter to start the civil war. there is so much history that i don't even know about. and to think you could say i am doing a moderate disservice to my students. there's always something to be discovered and showing my students that maybe they can think of be empowered to try and find their own history. >> if you could take them on a bit longer field trip than to the zoo, if you could bring them here to washington, among the pla

south carolina matters to me. are you satisfied with what you're seeing from other candidates who are not polling as competitively as joe biden is in south carolina? >> well, i think it's an interesting dynamic here in south carolina. you know, we don't register by party and we have an open primary system. and in 2018, we had out of 1.7 million people who voted we were 46,000 votes shy of having 1 million women vote. 200,000 more women than men voted. and an additional 200 to 250,000. so 65% of the electorate, 1.1 to 1.2 million were people of color. it really gives you a unique opportunity to look at the history of the voters you're chasing or, better yet, to change the electorate by putting a field organization on the ground or register voters to change electorate. >> that's interesting. you are basically sending a message to say, nope, don't pay too much attention to the polls. south carolina is in play. >> well, you know, i went to the university of south carolina. i didn't know a lot about football. i was too

we're very on the edge of sumter county in south carolina. it's kind of shaped a little bit like oklahoma, so our school comes from the panhandle, so we are completely away from the nearest city. and we have about 400 kids, grades k through 8, so a very small school as well, but the kids are determined to grow. they are determined to learn and just great personalities and desire to try and make their communities a better place. >> your focus as a teacher is state history. south carolina state history. what prompted you to apply to be a teacher fellow? what did you think you would learn? >> actually i came to c-span's educator conference about four years ago. it was my first real big professional development experience. it was right after my first year of teaching, and it's kind of hard for my students to realize what happens in washington, because some of them have not really ever left sumter county or, you know, there's a field trip that we actually took last school year where it was the first time that most of the kids ever been to a zoo, r

it must have taken you quite a bit to get up to speed on south carolina history. >> south carolina history is basically u.s. history with a couple of extra things. in youngstown there's a ton of good history but in south carolina, of course what you mentioned, one of the original 13 colony, another 100 or 200 years of history there for instance, an example my parents came down to visit probably about two or three weeks ago. their big thing they like to go to cemeteries, see who is buried where. i didn't realize that the town i'm living in has the grave scythe of the guy who shot the cannon at the battle of fort sumter to start the civil war. there's so much history i don't even know about. i'm doing a moderate disservice to my students because i'm still learning in the process. but that's the point of history, there's always something to be discovered. maybe they can be empowered to learn more. >> if you can bring them here to washington among the places you've seen or visited in washington where would you take them to teach them a lesson and what would it be about? >> i would have to try

passed into law and south carolina did not. no less than ben tillman's brother says you cannot do that in south carolina. families are too mixed up in certain families ostensibly that her white with an app to be reclassified to which would have been the term. >> thank you for sharing that. there's an amazing moment that i came across that i recaptured in the book that i wish i had photocopied so i had it right here been the 1890s at one of the state constitutional convention is explicitly called to remove political -- african-americans in the state that is a proposal to have a strict definition of what a person is. this point there are only six african-americans at the entire convention and one of the white delegates stand up and he says, i defy any of you to pass this rule. if you pass this there's not a single caucasian on the floor of this convention. and they do ratchet down the percentage that is required to be an acre in south carolina. .. >> banned the shipping company and the gambler so there's always been a series of t

rights cases in south carolina and texas. professor burton also discussed the reconstruction era and constitutional amendments that were intended to expand and protect voting rights. this talk was part of a symposium on reconstruction hosted by the u.s. capitol h historical society. >>> for those of you who were not here at the beginning today, my name is paul finkelman. i also have the honor of being the president of gratz college in greater philadelphia and i'm the symposium organize r fr fors symposium on reconstruction. we're about to begin our next session, and our next session deals with issues of public understanding in the modern period in reconstruction, and we have two speakers this morning. we have vernon burton who's from clemson university, and we have brooke thomas who is from the university of california at irving. both of them are stunningly important scholars in this world. vernon burton is the judge matthew j. perry distinguished chair of history and a professor of panafrican studies, sociology and anthropol

so the south carolina voter i.d. law transitioned from one of the most stringent to one of the most lean yet for those without a voter i.d. are eligible to vote. but i tested this in south carolina. i read the law. i heard the attorney general. i know what the law is. but just for the heck of it, just last week, we went to vote. i said i don't have a voter i.d., but i can still vote. the law says i can with an affidavit. but what really matters as it did at the end of reconstruction, as it does today are the people at the polls can say yes and no. either they don't know the law or they are trying to stop people. in this case, they just didn't know the law. that's very important whether it's the first or second reconstruction. who let's people vote. last line of defense, i think. the supreme court ruling in 2003 has changen the voting rights community. it's instructed to compare. the 2013 challenge under the roberts court to the first challenge to the voting rights act under the court in 1966. in 1966 in south carolin

it must have taken you quite a to get up to speed on south carolina history. >> south carolina history course i guess you could say, u.s. history but with a couple of extra things. youngstown there is a ton of good history but in south carolina, of course what you just mentioned, one of the 13 colonies, a couple, at least another hundred or 200 of history there, and just cameample, my grandparents down to visit about two or three weeks ago and their big thing is they like to go visit cemeteries, right? see who is buried where. i didn't realize, town has the uy whether or not shot the cannon at the battle of fort sumter at the start of the civil war. don'tare so many things i know about. i'm still learning in the rocess but i think that's the fun of history, there is always something to be discovered and showing my students that, maybe then be empowered to find their own history. > if you could take them on a bit longer field trip, if you could bring them here to washington, among the places visited while you're in washington, where would you take them to teach them a lesson? would that

carolina, and breaks out the -- this shows you for sumter south carolina and bombarded by confederate troops. when the federal government refused to evacuate the confederate troops began t. this wasn't surprising that fort sumner was in charleston because south carolina was classically the session when i became an historian i study at stanford university when i got my phd Émigre professor who wrote on the subject in the hotbed of succession and sometimes i have to get onto the hpf. [laughter] the hotbed of secession. anyway, they were made in south kelowna in south carolina became the first state to succeed from the union. following the 1860 election of abraham lincoln. in this is what initiated the battle but the warco went on foa long time and it went on for four years and the first two years it seemed not particularly likely that the union would prevail, the north so to speak would win and hundreds of thousands would die before there was any indication of who would win. part of the reason is the south is a big place. the 11 states of the confederact are bigger than all of europe.

south carolina state history. aat have to do to apply to be teacher fellow, what did you think you would learn? >> i say -- i came to c-span's educator conference four years ago, it was my first real it wasment experience, after my first year of teaching. it was hard for my students to realize what happens in washington because solve them have not -- some of them have not ever left sumter county. there was a field trip we took that was the first time the kids had been to the zoo. planted the seed of using c-span's footage and clips in my classroom to show them what is happening in washington and why it is so important. over the last couple of years, i have made it a plane to use as primary sources and this fellowship would offer an honor -- and opportunities not only learn more about the state history resources that c-span offers but to contribute and build on top of it. --one of the -- what if the what are the practical things you take away as a teacher and what do you think you learned about policy or politics h

added in as south carolina did. the fifth circuit with several federal judges appointing the last two years with a sleight- of-hand to say this replacement act is almost the same as the other one. it's okay. we do have the president of intent of the in portion -- person voter id. nor have they found the in person voter id impossible at all. this is not covered by the voter id. i find it ironic when i first went to texas to testify the doj was on the side of minority tips why would back to the 16. for the 2010 district, they changed sides. they were defending the state of texas. the voting rights act is crucial for minority voting. i see no guarantees that it will continue into the future. it's uncertain. get this bipartisan support. the same has been true for all of the repast is. there to intend to predict the future of these voting rights. in conclusion, my wife told me to say that to give the audience hope. we tend to think of the overthrow of the first reconstruction. we are really connected to those events, and

he seems to be doubling down on south carolina. >> not just in south carolina, i believe african-american voters are the center of the political nerve center for this democratic party. i think joe biden is smart to be in south carolina, that is where his bread has been buttered to this point. his voting support among the most loyal african-american voters in south carolina has been rock solid. if you listen to his message in the state, you would know one thing for sure, when joe biden is on offense, that is his best defense and i think the campaign is so smart to talk about health care, because it is the number one issue but also the focus on student loans. the one area where he has to make up grounds is with millenials, the most important issue to millenial voters that i talked to all across this country. >> professor, at this point, you look at all the major polls that have come out so far. joe biden's top of the pack, not only is he top of the pack, double digits, hasn't trailed in a major poll so far. bernie sanders is up there. elizabeth warren appears to be surging, she's in second

south carolina did not and no less than pitchfork so that you cannot do that in south carolina. families are to mixed up. they would then had to be re- classified into colored which would've been the term then. there is an amazing moment that i recaps -- recaptured in the book. in the 1890s one of the state constitutional conventions. they were called to remove political power from african african-americans in the state. the rather strict definition of what a colored person is. there is only six african-americans at the entire convention and one of the white delegates stands up and says any of you to pass this role. there is not a single caucasian on the floor of this convention. they do ratchet down the percentage that is required to be a negro in south carolina. there is also a really fascinating set of issues with this. there is a case with the state supreme court where the decision makes a distinction between being physically lack and legally black it says that a person of high social standing can be considered white even if he has the same african heritage as someone of low

one of the big issues in south carolina and in iowa is teacher pay. the number of teachers i have met in both states were working two and three jobs. in south carolina last year, 5,000 teachers had to leave the profession because they couldn't afford to do the work. they couldn't afford to put food on the table and follow their passion, which is to teach our children. one of my first conversations as a candidate in iowa was just about that. which is why my policy is a policy of making what will be the history of our country is first federal investment in closing the teacher pay gap. $13.500 for most places, that's a year's worth of mortgage payments. it's a year's worth of grocery bills or it means putting a significant dent in student loan debt, which is one of the greatest barriers to our students coming out and joining a profession for which had they have a passion. these issues are the same issues, be it talking to a mom in south carolina or a mom in iowa. and i guess that's also part of what i'm really enjoying about the process, is pointing out

. >> garrett: we will hear from south carolina republican tim scott about what can be done to help these communities. to as always, we will bring you analysis on all of the news of the week coming up on "face the nation". >> garrett: welcome to "face the nation". margaret is off today. it is a grim sunday morning as we woke up to the news of yet another mass shooting in this country. this one in dayton, ohio. dean reynoldss will join us in a moment for more on that but begin in el paso, cbs news correspondent janet shamlian. >> good morning, major it is an active 0 crime scene at this wal-mart today which has become the deadliest mass shooting in america since massacre at texas church in 2017. investigators are now looking at motive and whether this was a hate crime. a chilling image that police say is the gunman on surveillance camera walking into a wal-mart carrying an ak-47 style assault rifle and wearing noise muffling headphones. and then this. >> cellphone video captures the rapid fire shots as a man hides under a table. others record the heart stopping chaos. >> ak. >> police say

in hamburg south carolina in 1876. this was not an in trouble.. the ku klux klan hearings and all these volumes, are online up. you can read them. that is the closest we have come in this country to a truth and reconciliation commission. grant sent troops to suppress the ku klux klan. and they all these people had been victimized, by them, because they've been trying to vote. women were , black men were lynched, they were beaten. they were threatened. they were even bribed. or there were offers of bribes to keep them from voting. because they had so much power. i think that the manifestation, the expression of that power not only scared the daylights out of the south, i don't think the north was ready for all of that black power. the north was complicit us with the rollback reconstruction. certainly you can see signs by 1872, 1873 is the first great depression called the panic,, the panic of 1873. until the great depression started in 1929, it was called the great depression. do we really need to protect the slaves? are they free? can they stand o

to clarify, live from south carolina, my friend. >> south carolina, thank you. look, as i helpfully demonstrated earlier in the broadcast, we're in the stage of the campaign where things can feel a little bit like groundhog day. this is joe biden's fifth trip to south carolina. earlier this week bernie sanders on a multiple day trip. i've been trying to figure out how she's campaigns judge success. it's not just crowd size to the find out how the crowds are feeling about these campaigns, you have to go beyond and ask about volunteer signups. when you're in iowa not an issue here, in south carolina. but the campaigns are starting in a building stage right now. a lot more focus on infrastructure than just the big pretty crowd events that we're seeing right now. the post important things my sources at these events are saying what happens all along the edges where you have volunteers signing up to build that army that will matter six months from yesterday when south carolina goes to the polls. >> and in this instance, the vide volunteers around the edges packing the

it's the hypocrisy of the leadership we have in south carolina. therefore 24 or 25 i don't know at this point democrats running against donald trump. i'm running against lindsey graham because he does not represent the state of south carolina anymore. when you take a look at, and again the hypocrisy of both graham and mulvaney, look at the automobile industry $700 million in terms of revenue that comes to the state of south carolina. 70,000 jobs in the state. and it's getting hit hard by these tariffs. tariffs are so bad that even the price of bibles which is a big thing in south carolina, is rising. > is that right? >> yes. >> you're saying that donald trump's trade policy is making it more expensive to pray? >> yes, it is. and. >> depending who you pray to? >> you got to pray more with this trump presidency and having lindsey graham and then lindsay comes back to the state and he says, well, you guy, it's just a hiccup in the economy. we're all going to experience a little pain and we have to do this. this guy, i give you a quote. he said this b

hears about all this opportunity in south carolina. goes to south carolina. richard harvey cane had been moved by the ame church from new york to reviet latalize mother emmanuel. that's where the nine murders were so horribly murdered that day. richard harvey cain starts a black newspaper. and he hires elliot to work for him, and then elliot runs for the state legislature, and then for the congress. when richard greener graduates from harvard in 1870, endless opportunities. does he go to nooi snooi does he go to boston? stay in boston? does he go to philadelphia? no. he goes to charleston, south carolina. that's where the action was. we can't imagine that today. you can't imagine how much promise and energy and optimism. think about it. think about what that was like if you had been enslaved up to 1865. endless horizon. within 12 years, it's gone. it's horrible to contemplate. i was born in 1950. i often think what it would have been like to be black with the same capacities that we have now. you wouldn't have gone to oxford. i wouldn't have gone to cambridge

carolina despite your well-known bias towards south carolina on this program today. but i really do think that the point of nevada being more representative of the nation's demographics than iowa and new hampshire, which are overwhelmingly white. cory booker right now as i'm talking to you is talking to the oldest hispanic group in nevada politics. it's called hispanics in politics. it's the first time i've ever gotten the message from them sold out, they weren't going to let anybody else in. they get it. cory booker gets it. there's four of the candidates that get it it's a caucus. you have to organize. hispanics and african-americans are going to be a huge part of that. they've been to black churnls to campaign and now they're going to a labor convention, as you mentioned, because it's the ground forces in a caucus that are going to huge difference. it's interesting, although i think jonathan is absolutely right, health care is the issue that biden should be talking about and the issue that people care about, the democrats care most about. it's interesting that bid

lindsey graham, senator graham, senator from south carolina tweeted this. must have robust counterterrorism force with intel capability no matter what the taliban demands in order to protect the usa. look forward to having congressional hearings and reviewing, debating and voting on any proposed peace agreement with the taliban that affects america's future presence in afghanistan. under consideration right now, john, would be a major drawdown of american forces, as well as official commitments by the taliban to counterterrorism efforts in afghanistan. you remember the surge back in 2010, 2011. all the way down to 14,000. this new plan would reduce that number by 5-6000. sources tell fox news as the president continues to maul this plan, there are a few considerations. military, political few considerations. military, political and even international to take into consideration. he will think about that as he could surround the idea on what to do next. we will be watching very carefully. back to you. >> indeed, we will. thank you. new bloodshed to tell you a

joe biden is very popular in south carolina, he polls higher in south carolina than he does in any of the other early primary states or in national polls. for the most part, when i was talking to folks, they don't really care that much about these types of detail errors, it's not a huge issue as far as they're concerned, and frankly, biden has been in public life for a long time, they feel like they know him well. they know him on a personal level. he's been coming to south carolina for many years. it doesn't seem to have a significant impact on his campaign. the question is sort of the accumulation of these various episodes that have happened on the campaign trail. i asked him about that and he did not seem to be very concerned about that much and it really has not so far seemed to impact his support in south carolina. he's beatable in south carolina, but it's going to take someone else rising up above the rest of the pack because he does have a very strong base of support in the state. >> jamie, i appreciate your insight. thanks for being here. >> hurricane dorian now upyaded to a c

we're back in south carolina. we got representative fletcher smith down there working hard for us in south carolina. and we got some great endorsements up here in new hampshire. so we're going to keep plugging away and we're playing the long game. and we're going to make this thing really interesting. >> do you feel, by having so many candidates, that the advantage goes to those that are more well known and that's the polling problem and the problem of getting unique donors? >> yeah, i think that's the challenge for everybody, but, you know, it's very fluid. when you look at the polling, people say, okay, if you had to vote tomorrowi, who would you vote for? and they have to give a name. but about 60% to 7 0% of the people responding in the polls aren't certain that that's the person they're going to vote for when it comes to election day. so it's very fluid. i think people are looking for someone who can beat donald trump. i'm that guy. i'm from ohio. i can win ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, and wisconsin. i'm bei

very well on the early going in south carolina. always good to see you. senator elizabeth warren, a trip to south carolina where she and several other candidates campaigned and courted as tom was just pointing out. a very large african-american population in that state. >> we can level the playing field by putting $50 billion directly into our historically black colleges and universities. >> i used to be a prosecutor and i saw the racism, institutional racism. >> we have to face the fact that for black students and black americans it's like living in a different country. >> martha: tim scott of south carolina, good to see you this evening. thank you for being here. i want to play one more sound bite and this is from beto o'rourke speaking during a keynote address in arkansas. watch this. >> this country though we would like to think otherwise was founded on racism, has persisted through racism and is racist today, but it was only until this administration and this president that that racism was invited out into the open. >> martha:

carolina governor and a former south carolina congressman. on the one hand, again, we're getting back to that question that is really interesting. you would think that sanford would fair better here than maybe any other early presidential primary state given his high name id, given the fact that people know him and for some republicans, that they trust and like him. that name id comes as a double edge sword. he disappeared and hiking the appalachian trail. that's not what he was doing. he was actually with his argentinian mistress. on the one hand, republicans are saying here don't do it. don't waste your time. we see 62% of the same republicans want to see the south carolina republican party hold a presidential primary as opposed to 24 who say that's not needed. en that 62% question those are republicans who say they want that primary even if donald trump is the only name on the ballot. because here's the thing. south carolina republicans are very proud of their tradition and presidential politics. every year since 1980 with one exception, 2

this is in columbia, south carolina. let's listen in. >> the housing that they need to get their feet on the ground so they don't fall into the same environment which got them into jail in the first place or, rather, allows them to integrate themselves into civil society and become good citizens. why do we have such a high rate of recidivism, people who leave jail and end up coming back into jail? so let me start with that question. we have more people in jail than any other country on earth. we're spending $80 billion a year. can we invest that money in better ways than we currently do to keep people out of jail and to make sure that if they are in jail, when they come out, they don't go back in. who wants to start? phil? introduce yourself. >> good afternoon. >> what was your experience and so forth. >> uh-huh. good afternoon, everybody. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. y'all, everybody. you all like everybody. my name is phillip agnew. i'm a national surrogate for e the -- >> all right. bernie sanders there speak

carolina where i'm from, where i am now and the vp was here a few days ago, the voters in south carolina could give two flying cats what the media relates about joe biden, a lot of stuff is baked in on who joe biden is. he becomes even stronger. >> well, we will see and johana i would like to get your take, this plays into the president's playbook saying the vice president's mental fitness isn't what it used to be. >> i don't think you can make that argument, i mean with joe biden he has been on the scene for so long as you even mentioned yourself is kind of known for some of the gaffes and i think he's lovable because of it, i would say, you know, when it comes to -- to any campaign that's grueling, i remember when president obama misspoke and said he had been to maybe 58 or 59 states, i mean, president trump said that he implied frederick douglas a former slave was still alive, like things happen and i think that the american public is more concerned about the economy, how democrats are going to bring about prosperity for them and i don't think that this one story is going to lead the

south carolina was the hot bed of the first plan were laid in south carolina. and it became the first state to secede from the union. following in the 1816 election of abraham lincoln. this is what really initiated at the battle. but the war went on for a long time. it went on for four years and for the first two years it seemed not particularly likely that the union would prevail the north would win. hundreds of thousands would die. part of the reason for this is the south is a big place. the 11 states of the confederacy our bigger than all of europe. the european did not think that was can happen. in fact we were busily supply and both sides. they were taking a position on this. especially since the north have not taken a position on it. it wasn't about slavery. to keep it from being supplied by the rest of the world. i know some of you remember that. just to know you know that in your memory. british and french and other people were running the blockade. they came up with what is been being called the anaconda plan. to water your ships and repair your ships.

what they are looking to do and hear from voters in south carolina. some, like bernie sanders, pete buttigieg, are focusing on their policies and plans. surprisingly for elizabeth warren today, she was focusing more orn personal story and connection. >> bernie sanders is unveiling a new plan today in the policy focus, but some of his message today was about the current president. let's listen. >> what we are talking about now is not only defeating donald trump who, in my view, is the most dangerous president in the modern history of this country. do you know why trump is the most dangerous president? he is doing what no president in our lifetime has done. it's not just that he is wrong on health care, climate change and education, he is wrong because he is using the presidency of the united states to divide us up based on the color of our skin, based on where we were born, based on our religion. >> i'm noticing the woman wiping her brow and he has a long-sleeve shirt on. i couldn't take my eyes off of that. how does this message seem to be resonating

good morning from georgetown, south carolina. i'm at a bernie sanders rally this morning, an interesting opportunity six months out in this race to see both of the two front-runners on back-to-back days. for the biden campaign this story essentially could step on what was otherwise a very positive, productive trip for him here in south carolina. that's why the biden campaign is essentially dismissing it making the argument this is one of those things where they believe the press gets wraps around the axle about the vice president misstating something but the point of the story was still clear. you heard that from joe biden himself yesterday in an interview with "the washington post." this is how he described the whole situation. >> i was making the point how courageous these people are, how incredible they are, this generation of warriors, these fallen angels we've lost. and, so, i don't know what the problem is. i mean, what is it that i said wrong? >> and, chris, that's one of these situations where we have to wait and see how

to a predominantly black surge in columbia, south carolina. layla, what did senator warren say? >> you know, fred, this might surprise you, but not once did she mention a plan. instead, she talked about something else you actually don't usually hear from her and that's about her faith. immediately after that at the church, she then started about her personal stories sort of introducing herself to the churchgoers. listen to this. >> i grew up in a family that didn't have much. but always grew up with a dream. and for me, the dream was i wanted to be a public psychological teach schoolteacher. i finished my four year diploma and became a special needs teacher. i've lived my dream job. it's the best. never in a million years did i think i would end up run ining r office. first for the united states senate. from massachusetts and now for president of the united states. the reason i do is i have been called to act. not just to seek good, but to act. >> and you know, i talked to one churchgoer after service today and she said she found it very inter

carolina, i didn't take the history of south carolina class, you know, it's in the curriculum, i suspect it's not adequate to detail all of this. [laughter] >> i did a story about elliot case which a lot of you may know was one of the 5 cases that came brown versus board of education, i did not know here in south carolina, one of the pivotal cases in desegregating the schools. so that's the tip of the iceberg, i feel like because i don't know what i don't know, so i think it's incumbent on all of us to learn more about the history because everywhere you go in charleston you hear stories, that's -- that was a really big take away for me, everywhere are the stories, mostly stuffed away from closet corner of history, now, remember, how do we embrace the history and make sure we are educated about it, that was the big take away and one other thing i mentioned, i learned, i kind of knew but learned more personally, was that everybody deals with this kind of trauma differently but there's not sort of a right way to deal with it. there's not a perfect family. there's not a perfect church. i was

now for south carolina and savannah. look at the models, joe, they are really taking this storm well off shore. >> getting us that early forecast to show us where this might be heading. thank you. crowds streaming through the airports trying to get out of town. people preparing for winds and high storm surges. joining us now from the local miami station. you talked to someone there getting ared with his family and gathering gas. what should people know as we look at the current forecast? >> you want to be prepared. people remember well the lessons of irma. just two years ago, people made plans. that storm made unexpected turns at the last moment. since we've last spoken, you can see a lot more people waking up and getting gas at this costco. across the street here, there is no gas, so people are coming here. i just talked to the station manager who tells me he's waiting on a shipment. he's not expecting to run out of gas here. other stations across the street tell me they ran outlast night about 11:30. we see people not

and that means from the south carolina coast all the way down to south florida, any of those areas could be impacted because it all depends on the strength of this ridge. there's so many different factors to go into this, so everybody in this area, we just needs to be ready to have those plans to go. >> beyond the cone i'm concerned about the strength of it. are you saying it could be well above a category 2 or is it too early to tell? >> yesterday was interesting. when you have a track further to the west we're looking at the lower intensity, but look at the water. really what we have now is we're forecasting category 2. however, if you have another shift looking at towards the east, what happens is you have more of that warm-water, more time to get stronger, so, yes, absolutely. we tell people it's important forecasting a cat 2, but there's nothing wrong planning for one up in case. >> is there any storm in recent memory that this reminds you of so far? >> i always tell people, 25 years of doing this stuff, every one of them is so incredibly different and that's why we tell everybody p

carolina senator tim scott. >>

we will be watching for the carolinas. hilton head, south carolina, you said? >> absolutely. >> thank you very much. >>> kathy park is in indian harbor beach. how are residents getting ready for the hurricane's arrival? >> jo, good morning to you. the governor issued a warning, saying this might be a multi-day event. residents have been rushesing to stock up and secure their homes here in brevard county, mandatory evacuation goes into effect for 8:00 a.m. some businesses plan on shutting down today. >> this morning, hurricane dorian, churning and intensifying in the open waters of the southern atlantic. this slow-moving storm nearly the size of ohio and expected to get bigger. but the pace of preparations only picking up in florida, with the entire state in the danger zone. brevard county announcing late friday it will initiate mandatory evacuations starting sunday morning. >> no one likes to leave their home, i really believe in my heart given the current forecast this is the best course of action to keep everyone absolutely safe. >> one thing that's certain i
