and lying over all of this, this is something that you'll relate to very much, after katrina, there were so many evangelicals who i went to church with that we were -- we would do daily relieves after katrina over to mississippi and louisiana and they were shattered. their faith in george w. bush were shattered by what they saw on the ground in mississippi and louisiana that nothing was being done. well, the question, where are the children that mika has repeated over and over again. i'm hearing from evangelicals that supported him, this is not who we are. >> well, and you can hear about the russia investigation constantly, but in my opinion, that's not going to move voters. but my mom, my sister-in-law, they voted for trump. they do not like these babies who are separated from their parents. and that's a story that is just an albatross, as it should be. torturing children on the border of our great nation. and it's something that donald trump can't run away from. >> but they can vote according to their pocketbooks, steve ratner, and for that, many are doing you would say pretty well. >>

bush, post-katrina. iraq was spinning out of control. in '06, if you go back and law school at the polling, pretty steady, you can see it coming. democrats did win pack the house. the next time control flip, the last big wave we had was in 2010. the obama midterm, republicans won back the house at this point in the summer of '10. that was a big win republican of '10. republicans were ahead generally in the generic ballot, two, six, four, even the ones that had the democrats up. 2010, it want until after labor day that the republican picked up. democrats up seven, that might be enough, that could change though. certainly in 2010 it came into focus. right now, democrats light where we are more than they were a month ago in the generic ballot. but there's may be twists and turns ahead. >>> coming up, record breaking heat. one last thing when "the 11th hour" continues. i'm alex trebek here to tell you about the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85 and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three p's. what are

responded to many major hurricanes including andrew in 1992 and katrina in 2005 has provided me with a unique understanding of how we can better position fema to respond when disaster strikes. as we all know, last year was a particularly devastating one for disasters. with 17 storms during the atlantic hurricane responsible for over $200 billion in damages and a death toll in the thousands according to most estimates. these are astounding and horrifying numbers and a focus should remain on helping those who lost so much. having sat in that chair, i know the challenges faced. but while we are helping those in need it's beyond time to give serious consideration to why we continue to leave lives, homes, communities vulnerable. the evidence is simply overwhelming. better land use and increased mitigation the can dramatically reduce devastation. we must reward communities who invest in resiliency and stronger building codes. as lives are on the line, we must provide assistance, get the nonflammable and seismic standards right the first time. and make sure they're in force. the cost share

and went to new orleans to talk about the remarkable change for the accelerated pace of recovery from katrina and the big school story which we are going to talk about, but both of these mayors are the forefront of that revolution. but i also want to say by way of a short introduction, mayor landrieu just left office after two fabulous terms in new orleans and towards the end gave a marvelous speech that has kind of gone viral about the confederate monument controversy down there. that's garnered attention in his recent speech. it's an eloquent statement from a white 7 to hit home. mr. >> len:, thank you for joining us. please, come to the podium. >> i think all of you for having me. >> first of all, thank all of you for having me. my name is mitch. i'm from louisiana. we know a lot about slumps so i feel very comfortable to be amongst all of you. my sister is in the back. i think she is going to talk about education in the future, so i will leave that to her. thank you all for ceding me next to another good-looking baldheaded man. we are working hard to take our rightful place in america. we

talk about the remarkable change in the economic picture there and accelerated pace of recovery from katrina and the big school story which we'll talk about at noon but both of these mayors are the forefront of that revolution but i want to say by way of a short introduction to mayor landrieu, he left office, two fabulous terms in new orleans and toward the end gave a marvelous speech which you've probably heard has gone viral about the confederate monument controversy down there and that is the topic of his new book "in the shadow of statues, a white southerner looks at history." it's quite eloquent. >> i'm niche louisiana, we know a lot about swamps so i feel very comfortable. my big sister is in the back senator mary landrieu. say hey. mayor, nice to see you, thank y'all seating me next to him, another good looking ball headed man. we're working hard to take our rightful place in america and we haven't been given our due yet but we'll get there. i don't know why y'all asked me to come talk to you. for eight years i've been trying to find ways not to cut the grass or walk the dog. i was ab

you are talking directly with the president for instance it could be any number, the speech on katrina or the war in iraq or september 20, 2001 in that address to congress and the words that came out of the president's worth were "these demands are not open discussion. the taliban must act immediately. they will hand over the terrorists or they will share in their fate. from this day forward any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the united states as a hostile regime. americans should not expect one battle but a lengthy campaign unlike any other we have seen t may include dramatic strikes visible on television and combt operations secret even in success." how did those words ultimately get spoken inside of the capitol building? john: specific reference to that speech would have been direction we got from the president, from dr. rice who at the time was the national security adviser. i don't remember, i saw the president a lot in the days after 9/11 because of the number of speeches before september 20, the thursday of the week following, and that w

in 2004, katrina hit in 2005. let me just say 67,000 kids in new orleans schools, probably 85% to 90% african-american in our public schools. of course we're in the south so after brown versus board of education, coming back realizing everybody should be on the page here. but every city in the south, this happened in many cities around the country. our public school system is predominantly african-american. in 2004 there were 60% of our children that went to school in new orleans and schools ranked in the lowest 10%. okay? 60% of our kids in new orleans in 2004 were in schools that ranked at the lowest 10% in the state. in 2017 last year, only 11% did. that is how much growth we have achieved in a decade. moving our poorest kids still on $9,000 a year. that hadn't changed. with a little bit more bells and whistles we've been able to put together about it. moving them from failing to succeeding. we have one high school in new orleans that's 100% virtually african-american. the graduation rate used to be at that sch

that ha the post katrina emergency c management reform onact tracreq that fema have contracts in place for recurring disaster response requirements before the disaster strikes, yet over the years fema has failed to procure new contracts or renew existing contracts for such commodities in advance of the disaster, therefore, contributing to the state of unreadiness. last fall the puerto rican electric power authority entered into two separate contracts, one with white fish energy holdings and the other with cobra acquisitions. entered on both contracts contained terms . that limited proper federal oversight. although fema denies these claims, both contractors indicated that fema approved the contract terms. the o of that t the office of inspector general is investigating these contracts to determine the accuracy of the allegations, but i want to be clear fema should never approve contracts that purport to limit any oversight over disaster funds. now by oversight let's be clear what oversight means. it doesn't mean exercise undue influence. for example, just last may prpa entered into a n

like katrina or flint or pay police shooting. but again, what about the poor white man? the liberal white elite who have been raised with advantage but believe they have scrubbed themselves clean of it still tag the poor whites as the privileged ones. but how could they know? how could they know? they spent no time in his living room in the corner bar, the pistol range. to them, he is a louse and a bore a racist and to dig any deeper is simply an exercise in inconvenience. and they seem to think he resides only in appalachia although he lives right under their noses in boston to bakersfield. so when these white men die at the hands of law enforcement, it is universally agreed upon by liberal white media types that they must have deserved it. after all, the black man is a target simply by virtue of his skin color. what possible defense could a white man muster? police do not kill white people with all of their privilege. unless they had it coming. the elite black media hops on board or rather, turned their heads away as they too, have little contact with the white lower c
