My old sidekick. I know. So glad to be here with you both. Great to have you both. We begin with the central gulf coast bracing for potentially devastating flooding from what could become hurricane barry. Part of the storm system dumped up to 9 inches of rain in three hours on parts of new orleans yesterday. Louisiana is already under a state of emergency. Hurricane watches are in effect along the coast up to 10,000 people having been ordered to evacuate. This morning Severe Weather watches stretch from louisiana to florida and at the moment on a levee along the swollen Mississippi River in new orleans. The question on everyones mind there i guess is are the levees expected to hold . Reporter well, they are, but they could over top. That is the potential here. Were talking about possibly up to 18 inches of rain coming into louisiana this weekend. You mentioned the already swollen Mississippi River behind me. That combined with the storm surge could send the river up to 20 feet this weekend. Thats the same height as some of the levees that protect the city, which was already hit by flash flooding. Lines of powerful thunderstorms dumped up to 9 inches of torrential rains over new orleans wednesday in just three hours. Turning the streets in louisianas biggest city into small rivers. So actually on the way home. Reporter trapping some people in businesses and homes along the historic french quarter. A possible tornado also touched down. I heard a big explosion like sound and the whole bedroom was blown out. My wife and dog were kind of under the rubble but they were fine. This is crazy. Reporter but the rain is the biggest worry going forward. This neighborhood is in one of the lowest points of new orleans, which is below sea level. So people are used to some flooding here but they say its becoming more and more frequent and they fear its their new normal. There is nowhere for it to go. Thats kind of the fear of living in the bowl that we live in. Reporter another major concern for many are the citys drainage pumps. You can look around and see they got Little Twisters but every now and then it stops twisting so the pump is notreal. Reporter many levees got a 14 billion overhaul after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. But some have started to settle and may not provide the intended protection if water levels on the Mississippi River reach historic levels. People need to keep constant vigilance through the next few days to keep an idea what is going on and from there we can all stay safe. Reporter the army corps of engineers says it is working to reinforce lowlying areas. The city says all but two of the drainage pumps are operational right now but a large amount of rain in a short period of time can overwhelm any system. Looks like youre on the west bank. Of all the years i lived there, nine of them, never seen the levees that high. Our chicago station, wbbm tv is tracking conditions in the gulf. How soon could this system rr grng. Pical storm barry . We aatchinng system in the gulf of mexico likely destined to be a Tropical Storm by later today possibly a hurricane before landfall along the gulf coast. It is really intensifying. You can see it on our water vapor imagery expecting the storm system to be moving closer to making landfall probably into the weekend. Could put new orleans on the right side of circulation. They may be looking at a storm surge from 3 to 6 feet. So much warm water in front of this storm system. And because those temperatures in the sea surface are warmer than average we have a lot of available moisture to work with on this. In terms of where the storm will go these are our models. They are anywhere from houston to florida, but the National Hurricane center model does bring it onshore somewhere near louisiana. As we move into the weekend possibly as a category one hurricane. Again, working with all that warm water to strengthen. Now while we know wind could be an issue, rain is going to be the primary threat from this. We could be looking at upwards of 1 foot possible across parts of louisiana and into the gulf coast region. Anthony . Thank you. A nationwide operation targeting thousands of undocumented migrant families will reportedly begin sunday. The New York Times says raids are expected to take place in at least ten major cities. Theyll be conducted by immigration and customs enforcement. Omar vill franca is in dallas. What do we know about what is going to happen . Reporter good morning. I. C. E. Is reportedly targeting 2,000 immigrants in the country illegally and have been ordered deported. The agency says they traditionally focus on those with a criminal history but any immigrant violating u. S. Law could be arrested. Theyll be starting fairly soon. Reporter President Trump renewed his threat last friday to order mass deportations of undocumented migrant families. The raids were postponed in june after the president previewed the operations on twitter stating i. C. E. Would remove millions of illegal aliens. The raids have been a flash point in immigrant communities across the country. The socalled raids, it is interior enforcement. We do it every day. Reporter cbs news spoke with the acting commissioner mark morgan about the agencys plans last month. If you are a mother with a kid is that mother going to be handcuffed . No. But if youre a criminal alien and youve been convicted of murder, sexual assault, etcetera, are you going to be handcuffed . You bet. Reporter the possible raids come amid increasing scrutiny over conditions at Migrant Detention Centers. On wednesday reporters toured a new hhs facility for children in texas. Video shows clean rooms and children in classrooms, which contrast troubling images from a recent dhs inspector generals report that condemned unsanitary conditions and dangerous over crowding at some cbp facilities. In an emotional hearing wednesday, she said she blamed unsafe conditions and poor medical care at an i. C. E. Detention center in texas for the death of her 1yearold daughter. Lawmakers were visibly shaken by her testimony. Some were brought to tears. Its like they tore out a piece of my heart, she said, lierk th like they tore out my soul. One of the groups getting a lot of attention, unaccompanied migrant children. Yesterday the u. S. Government said there are about 200 in cbp custody down from about 2500 in may. Omar, thank you. Well stay on top of it. Right now breaking news from the middle east. Britain said overnight three iranian boats tried to intercept a british oil tanker. The confrontation took place in the strait of hormuz a vital shipping lane at the center of current tensions with iran. Were following developments from london. What happened . Reporter well, British Military officials confirmed to us this morning that iranian boats attempted to impede that british tanker overnight before a navy escort issued verbal warnings to get out of the way. British naviee figuresy officia news this war ship wedged itself between the cargo ship and three iranian parra military vessels demanding safe passage of this cargo ship the British Heritage registered to british petroleum. The iranian boats backed off. The scrap on the high seas comes a week to the day since british commandos seized an iranian super tanker off the coast of gibraltar over allegations it was breaking sanctions by transporting oil to syria. Accusations denied by iran. Just yesterday, the president of co andri reick te would be escort their ships. Tensions were already running high after a series of attacks on tankers in recent weeks blamed on iran. When we were last there u. S. Navy gun boats took us to see up close the damage Navy Investigators told us caused by the kind of mines used by irans revolutionary guard. This despite a significant u. S. Military buildup in the region including the u. S. S. Abraham lincoln Strike Carrier Group and b52 bombers. Irans revolutionary guard is denying it confronted any alien vessels especially british. They said if they had received the order to seize a ship, they would have done so immediately. Thank you. Labor secretary alex acosta says he will not resign over his role in Jeffrey Epsteins child sex abuse case. Acosta spoke to reporters controversial plea deal with the financeer in 2008. Epstein served 13 months in jail and registered as aafr he w acc more than two dozen under age teenagers. Well go to the white house. Ben, why did acosta hold the News Conference in the first place . Reporter well, weve learned President Trump called acosta on tuesday and urged him to defend himself publicly. Now, that is the same day the president defended acosta basically saying sometimes judges and prosecutors look back and wish they had done things differently in hindsight. But acosta says he did nothing wrong. We did what we did because we wanted to see epstein go to jail. Reporter labor secretary alex acosta says his only choice when he was a u. S. Attorney was to either prosecute Jeffrey Epstein at trial or offer p deal that guaranteed at least some jail time. How do you weigh those two . If going to trial is viewed as the roll of a dice . Reporter acosta blamed Florida State officials whom he said were not eager to prosecute and said epstein would not have served any jail time if not for him but former palm beach state attorney Barry Krischer said in a statement mr. Acostas recollection is completely wrong. He said if there acosta were truly concerned with the states case and felt he had to rescue the matter he would have moved forward with a 53page indictment his own office drafted. Since epstein pleaded not guilty to new federal charges of sex trafficking dozens of under age girls, more women have come forward this week saying epstein abused them. Jennifer arose told nbc news she was 15 when assaulted by epstein in the early 2000s. He raped me. What hurts even more so is if i wasnt afraid to come forward sooner then maybe he wouldnt have done it to other girls. Reporter she plans to file a civil suit against epstein. On wednesday acosta expressed sympathy for the victims but repeatedly refused to apologize regrets . We believe that we proceeded appropriately. Look, no regrets is a very y wa interviews, its very obvious that the victims feel that this was not a sufficient outcome. Reporter Many Democrats are still calling on acosta to resign in part because as labor secretary he is in charge of combatting human trafficking. Of course, President Trump is really the only one who can decide his fate and at his News Conference acosta says they still have a great relationship. Tony . Thank you very much. Cbs news legal analyst is with us. You prosecuted sex crime cases with adults and children. Headlines out of the Acosta Press Conference seem to be no apology and also he says he proceeded appropriately. Given the context back then. Do you agree . Not a bit. Nothing he said changed my mind. When he talks about the fact that the environment for women was different in 2007 than it is in 2019, these are children, for heavens sake. There is no way that we treated as prosecutors children differently in 2007 than in 2019. Our job was to protect them. Our job was to get them raelead for trial. I not only prosecuted these cases, in 2007 im serving on the board of the Rape Treatment Center in california in los angeles. We made sure that child victims felt supported. We didnt just send an fbi agent or a cop out to see the go through with this and then just say, okay. And thats what happened here. I want to look reporting the miami herald did about this secret plea deal that acosta negotiated with epsteins lawyer who is a former colleague of acostas and they reported acosta allowed epsteins lawyers unusual freedom in dictating the terms of the nonprosecution agreement. How unusual do you think it is . I think it is unusual because he was intimidated by the strength of these lawyers. You have to remember there was ken starr, Alan Dershowitz there. These are hard cases. I agree. That may be the one thing i agree with acosta about. Theyre hard cases. Well, when i was a young prosecutor and i mean young, we rel ish relished the idea the best and the toughest and the ones with the great reputations, defense lawyers were coming in because we wanted to try cases against them. We were not intimidated. Acosta called it a roll of a dice but there was a 53page indictment prepared. All trials are a roll of the dice. You can never guarantee a jurors verdict but the time is that is your job. There was no statute of limitations here at sex trafficking at that time so what he did is he takes a nonprosecution agreement and shuts it down. For heavens sake, Jeffrey Berman now in the Southern District of new york, talk about the opposite, he is calling for victims to come forward. There was no urgency. They didnt have to do a nonprosecution agreement. You have dozens of victims here. You have a constant delay in telling them about this plea deal. And then them seeking restitution. What do you make of that . Well, the judge in florida has declared that was illegal. The judge in florida is trying to find a sanction against the government. So i dont think we can take mr. Acostas word for this. And im very glad that the palm beach states attorney came out and said, look. He wasnt superman. This is my words not his. He didnt get on his cape and fly over and save the day to be a hero. He tried to portray himself as a hero. On the contrary it sounds like youre saying he was not up to the job. I think he was not up to the job. Thank you so much for being with us. First on cbs this morning amazon unveils an ambitious plan to help employees keep up with Artificial Intelligence.

President trump tweeted this morning he will announce his next move this afternoon in the fight over adding a Citizenship Question to the 2020 census. Sources tell cbs news the president will take executive action to add the question. Any such move is expected to be challenged in the courts immediately. Even Administration Officials say they are skeptical it will be allowed. Last month the Supreme Court temporarily rejected the question saying the administration did not adequately explain why it wanted to include it. Critics claim that asking about citizenship would produce an inaccurate count because immigrants would be less likely to fill out the census at all. Tom steyer, the billionaire investor and activist who spent millions advocating for the impeachment of President Trump is launching a campaign to take his job. He joins the field of 24 other candidates seeking the democratic nomination for president after previously saying he would not run as part of our continuing series the road to 2020, he joins us for his First National television interview. Welcome. Nice to see you. What changed . You werent in the race in january. You specifically said im not running. Now you are. I said i was not running then. You did say that. Yes. Thats because i felt at that point i had a responsibility to push the impeachment of mr. Trump. We had six Million People who signed our petition. We were still a lonely voice in the wilderness saying he is the most corrupt president in history, he is unfit, dangerous to the American People. Are you giving that up . No, i will continue to fund that. I believe we have won that argument. I think everybody in d. C. , including republicans realizes what we were saying for 20 months before people came around to it is obvious and true. There is still a question about whether it happens, but i felt as if watching that for the last six months and pushing it was a profound failure of government because everybody understands he should be impeached. Its a question of whether it will happen. And i also watched this campaig and i felt as if i couldnt sleep because to me the biggest question facing the United States is not what we should do, but how are we going to break the corrupt stranglehold that corporations have on our government and how are we actually going to get done things that the American People want . How are we going ton power to the American People. That is the question in front of us today. Lets talk about whats in your win column. You poured 120 million into the midterms. Some say you won the husband back for the democrats. Millions into campaigns against big oil, against big tobacco, against Corporate Tax loopholes. Why is 100 million running for president money well spent . I dont think its about the money. For the last ten years i have been trying to push power back to the people of the United States, to retake the government from what i think of as a corporate takeover thats taken place the last 40 years. That includes those propositions where we went around the legislatures to go directly to get peoples votes. This is a continuation as far as i am concerned of the Grassroots Efforts that i have led for the last ten years, including propositions, including registration, including doubling the turnout of young people in the swing districts last year to retake the house of representatives. This is about retaking the democracy from the corrupt Corporate Power that is determining what happens in washington, d. C. Hearing you say that, first of all, surprising given your stature financially and your history. But also interesting because elizabeth warren, Bernie Sanders would say thats my campaign. Right. Other candidates as well. When it comes to climate change, which is another issue for you, there are numerous candidates, including jay inslee, who are taking on that issue. So what makes you different . And can you be different enough to qualify for a debate with 1 of the poll . Let me say this. I am an outsider. I have been doing this successfully, beating the oil companies, the tobacco companies, closing tax loopholes from the outside for ten years. I dont believe that this failed government is going to be reformed from the inside. I believe its a question of coming from the outside and doing what i have been doing for the last ten years, going directly to the people because i think that we can see that washington has been unable to reform itself. Isnt it going to take somebody who has a different perspective and a different history and has been doing it for ten years . We want to get some quick yes or no answers, if you would, on big issues. This reminds me of school. Full disclosure. We went to school together. Here some of the bigger questions that have emerged on the campaign trail. Do you support proposals for free college . Yes. Now, every one of these questions has a lot of nuance to it. Understood. But there is no question in my mind that we are underinvesting in the education of young people, including in college, and whether i go along exactly with senator sanders exact proposal is a different question. The idea of us prong q prollegeu lifelong skills training is something i absolutely support. Yes or no, would your Insurance Plan provide coverage for undocumented immigrants . And so the short answer is going to be yes. Once again, i want to talk about something broader, which is this. We have a failed immigration system. We should have comprehensive immigration reform, which is a classic thing that this government has been unable to do for decades. So in that context, what are you supposed to do with people who are part of society, who live here, contribute to society, and yet are somehow under the radar are living in the shadows . They are a part of society. We are doing yes or no plus, i guess. You can ask a question that has a million answers. Fair enough. One more. Yes or no, do you support relationship arations for the descendants of slaves. Where i have gone on that is we should do a study to go back and see what that means. But the other answer, if i had to give yes or no maybe . No, let me answer that more clearly, tom. We have a society where people dont start at the same starting line, and that has been something that has been built in through centuries of unfairness and injustice. And exactly the best way to address that as a society is a subject of real study. But whether to address that as a society is not a question. Of course we need to address that. Thats why i said a study because this is complicated. Its got to be perceived by americans as to be fair across the board and we have to accept the idea this is a society which has not treated people equally for centuries. Are you, tom, expecting to make the next debate . I dont think i can make july because im just too late. I am going to take very seriously getting on the stage in september, october. Tom steyer, thank you for being with us. A man with a lot of nuances in his answers. A popular monthly gathering in new jersey is a throwback to a different era. Ahead in our series a more Perfect Union , how a tradition that started after a good thursday morning. Starting off the day with low clouds and areas of fog along the coast and part of the way.

This is where we each pick a story with wed like to share with you and with everybody else. Michelle, start us off. Are you kidding me . I have the worst story. So sad. California utility pg e reportedly knew for years its power lines were outdated and could spark fires and they failed to repair them. Thats sad. It is sad. It sparked the fire in paradise that killed 5an apparently knew about it, they knew that their power lines on average were 68 years old, the mean life expectan expectancy, 65 years old. The oldest steel towers, 108 years old and they knew that 49 of those towers, 49 needed immediate repair. Wow. Immediate repair. All right. Ive got 1 1 2 talk of the table. The first is jim boyneton. He was a yankees pitcher in the 60s. He died unfortunately yesterday at the age of 80. In looking back at his life, h was a pitcher in the 6 os but what hes best known for is writing the book ball four. Never heard of it. Im learning something. It was a diary of a year of his in the big leagues, and it revealed the true nature of the game behind the scenes, and at the time Sports Writers didnt delve into that. There was misbehavior, womanizing, drinking, drugging. A lot of players were not happy he wrote that. It was a lot of screw you shakespeare. And the other half of my talk of the table, at the end of the automation segment i did with david begnaud, i said it must be easy to manage machines because they dont get sick or have to deal with child care and some thought it was a sex it comment. Actually i was thinking about me. I thought, huh, mulch we limit men who do not cry in a staal it affects humans. I was talking about humans. What have you got, tony. A kid named drake made the cutest mound move ever. It happened at a kalamazoo growlers game. Take a look. Coach drake asking for the ball.

Nobody quite sure whats going on here. The videos gotten hundreds of thousands of views. Look at the stance walking back. Hes got the moves down. Hes mimicking every coach theyve ever seen. This is the team mascot. The team plays on the north league. I love this guy. You know what . Good advice like a kid. Play like a kid, play like you love it, remember why you got in. The california mizzou growlers say coach drake is going to make repeated appearances and we look forward to them. This morning we have a first look inside a new book thats expected to have both democrats and republicans in th cald icil war a thee of President Trump. It features more than 300 interviews with Top Republican leaders of the past 20 years including President Trump and it explores how a revolution in the gop propelled him to the white house. Tim al berta is here first on cbs this morning. Good morning. Good morning. Thanks for being here. You basically looked at the Political Climate that created this moment and what do you see as being at the root of it . Look. I think theres a collective instinct for all of us to examine this incredible land scape and the polar university in the country and lay it all at the doorstep of President Trump and i think thats a mistake. What i try to explain in the book is what youve had swirling now for over a decade is displamt and socioeconomic dislocation and an enormous amount of insecurity and anxiety. You write his was a canopy of discontent under which the grudging matches could congregate about an era of a nation they no longer recognized and a government they know longer recognized. Thats right. Thats pretty good. Look. I think its important to understand that donald trump was able to appeal to not just a particular section of the traditional republican electorate. He was in some ways able to expand the Republican Party in reaching new voters, but, of course, in politics, for every action theres an opposite reaction. So while bleeding more of the suburban night republicans, he was able to appeal to a lot of traditional downscaled rural and conservative democrats who had never voted in many cases. One of the criticisms of President Trump is not only that hes this is ive got to go with this question here. A lot of people on the democratic side but also many republicans are wondering whether there are members of congress who at some point are going to challenge the president not only on his populist ideas but many will say are nativist and racist. In your reporting did you find any member of congress who you said, e im almost there and i ooh. Going to challenge him soon . A couple of answers to that question. First to be a member of the modern Republican Party, circa, is to pledge undying allegiance to donald trump or else. Weve seen that with the likes of jeff flake, mark sanford, justin amash who left the party after calling for impeachment of the president. Youre going to be hardpressed to find any republican on capitol hill whos going to openly disavow the president or challenge him in any significant way. That said, if you get them behind closed doors and especially a coupl of bud lights in them, theyll tell you chapter and verse how much they dislike the president. Is that cowardess to talk behind closed doors . Definitely. What youre hearing is not what they actually feel, but theyre sort of locked in this kang of fear as it relates to the president and they understand full well that if political selfpreservation of the game, they cannot afford to cross donald trump. Youre especially critical of Vice President pence writing he quotes so pitticly subjugated himself that his friends wondering if President Trump had blackmail on him. Are republicans not sold on mike pence as a successor to donald trump. I think thats an understatement. I think that mike pence has wanted to be the president for a very long time. He went home and ran for governor of indiana thinking that would put him on the trajectory toward the white house. He was in real risk of losing his job as a governor when donald trump put him on the president ial ticket. Thats been a lifeline. Hes been very loyal and thats what President Trump expected. In so doing hes alienated some of his staunchest allies in the Republican Party and i see it very difficult for him to have a seat at the table in the oval office that he once hoped to have by virtue of his sufs under donald trump. Hes obviously one example. There are any number of republicans from paul ryan, Mitch Mcconnell on down, people who were once very critical of donald trump and mike pence was one of them. He was very, very critical of donald trump privately and a little bit publicly. But when the time came to pledge allegiance or leave the party, everyone made the same decision. Thats strictly because they feel how voters will cast their vote come the next election. Absolutely. Look. You have the entire republican governing class who when they saw President Trumps ascent, they had it all wrong. The message, whether it was compassionate or conservative under george w. Bush, whether it was the notion that free trade was universe rallally availablee american worker, the wall street Editorial Board is what Republican Voters used as their political bible. And, in fact, a lot of Republican Voters and voters across the country were in the middle of this sort of populist reckoning, and not many people saw it. Donald trump saw it very, very early, so when all of these republicans began to realize how forceful it was, they realized they needed to get with him or get out of his way. Tim al berta, thank you sfr being here. American carnage is out july 16. Every month people from different backgrounds are brought together by a unique tradition. Youre here on your own time. Why .
