panel, thank you for your wisdom. >> if i might. >> oh. >> still beautiful. all right. so we're covering a lot of news this morning, and it's not just politics. historic and catastrophic flooding still going on in southern illinois. this wasn't triggered by a hurricane, and yet it is being called the worst national disaster since superstorm sandy. this is louisiana. this has not been getting as much attention as when a big hurricane comes through, but it could last longer and be worse than what we've seen so far. we'll tell you why in a live report next. hhis stellar notebooks will last through june.
