CNNW At This Hour With Berman And Michaela July 2, 2014

Im john berman. And im michaela pereira. Good to see you on this wednesday. Right now, we have gotten another weather advisory on Tropical Storm arthur. It is expected to become a category one hurricane tomorrow off the coast of North Carolina. If you were planning to travel over the fourth of july weekend, to the east coast or along the east coast, you need to Pay Attention to this. Arthur could make conditions very, very dangerous. Chad myers at the cnn weather center. As we head, a new advisory in just seconds ago. What does it say . It still has the storm very close to the carolina coast, to North Carolina, almost the peninsula that sticks out there. Cape hatteras all the way down to buxton. That is during the day on friday. Over night on thursday into the day on friday. Were going to see deteriorating conditions all up and down the east coast. This is not going to be an andrew or a huge category 5 hurricane. Its not warm enough for that yet. This is going to be a long strong wind. All the way from jacksonville, into myrtle beach and into North Carolina itself. As it moves farther to the north, this storm will continue and even put some wave action into probably new england and into maine and boston as it continues to move up. This is a shot from space. Pretty cool picture there from Tropical Storm arthur. Cool unless you are underneath it and this would be the peninsula right there. These outer bands getting to the florida coast right now. It gets bigger tonight, turns into a hurricane tonight and tomorrow. Thats when it gets to the 85mileperhour Hurricane Force as it gets very close to North Carolina. You said rip tides. You talked about currents, winds. Give us an idea about the biggest concern with this storm. It is without a doubt in my mind its when the water gets pushed up into these koefs. What you have along here, youll have the sand bars and they are only out maybe 100 yards, but the water washes over the sand bars. All of a sudden, one of those sand bars breaks and when the sandbar breaks in one spot, all of that water wants to rush back out to the sea and it does it at 35 to 40 miles per hour. If you are in the water, you need to have a life jacket on or stay out of the water at this point. Its going to get that dangerous. We could lose a dozen people because they werent listening to those types of warnings. These are sand bars, dangerous places and rip currents happen all the time, and people have a cocktail or two, they want to go out in the water to cool off and all of a sudden you are 100 yards out and the lifeguard cant get you. We are talking about landfall for this hurricane. It may only be a category one which isnt that strong but you are talking about landfall sometime wednesday into thursday, thursday into friday off the coast of North Carolina. Correct. The middle of the cone. I always hate to talk about the middle of the cone because it never follows it. The middle of the cone does take it off shore about 20 miles away from that Cape Hatteras light house. The middle of the eye is not the part were worried about. Its the outer part of that eye that could make landfall and as it moves on through here right through nags head, heres charleston. If it doesnt make landfall, its close within 10 to 15 miles within the beach. You get all of the water thats going to be splashing up here, here, here, here, all the way up the coast. Thats where all those rip currents are going to be. Theres going to be some rain through here. This is not the biggest storm were going to see. This is just a precursor of what it could be. Other news happening this hour, clashes between forces in israel and palestine. A cnn crew was caught up in the violence. Things have are very tense here at the moment. In fact im going to spin the camera around very briefly here. Oh, excuse me. Theres a lot of police trying to disperse us here. It seams like they let off a stun grenade here. Israel police are trying to disperse residents here. Police are looking into retaliation in the killing of three israeli teenagers. The attacker leader in benghazi has a hearing in washington. Saturday he pleaded not guilty to one count of providing Material Support to terrorists. Hes charged in the attack that left four americans dead. Just days after an evacuation slide inflated inside a United Airlines flight. Theres a water leak on a qantas plane. On board was american actress from Yvette Nicole brown. Its so good to know you all are okay. We saw your tweets, river running through the aisle. Tell us what happened. First of all for having me on. We were just maybe an hour into the flight and all of a sudden it looked like a trickle at first. I thought someone had spilled a soda or pop or something, it got pigger and it literally was like a river running down the aisles of the plane. It was the scariest thing ive ever seen. A leak in an airplane with water flooding and stuff is not something you normally think as a problem during flight. How did you handle it . It seems like a water to me. Its water and electricity. I kept thinking were over in the pacific and im in something thats full of electricity and theres water the other thing it was a double decker plane, i was wondering where the water was going, it flowed by us, theres people below us. Sure enough, it became like a down pour for them, so i want to say this about qantas, they could not have been nicer to us. They were great. My tweet kind of seemed like everything was going crazy. It wasnt. They were in control the whole situation. These things happen very quickly and they are on board the plane too. The flight crew, et cetera. Tell us how they handled the situation. It looked like some clever people put to use some of the supplies you had on board the plane. What did they do to try to keep that water from getting any further down the aisle . The biggest problem was stopping the pipe burst. The passenger in front of me got a video of the pipe burst as bad as it was, im surprised it wasnt more mayhem in the back. The flight attendants were so professional, you never would have known anything had gone crazy, crazy wrong. I cant even put it to words. Im not a great flyer to begin with, so for me, i you always watch the flight attendants if they are freaking out, you freak out too. They never freaked out. They were honest about what was happening. They told us what could happen. But for the comfort of the other passengers, it was like, when we found out later that they basically got rained on and sitting in wet seats, no one wants that. 15hour flight and you are soaked. Its a small inconvenience for us up top, the ones downstairs were really catching it. It was the right decision to make. Im glad they did turn back. Are you heading now again . Are you going to try to this again head to melbourne . Im hoping to try again. Im just such a wimpy flyer. There are so many fans that are waiting for us to get there, if i dont try again, im really not a good person. Pack your flippers this time. Youll be fine. You know that, Yvette Nicole brown. Thank you so much for joining us so tell us firsthand about this crazy flight from qantas. Community, a lot of fans were disappointed it wasnt renewed. They are going to do the next season on yahoo.

Find new roads at your local chevy dealer. this hour, more undocumented immigrant families preparing their move from texas to california and the question is will they get a reception like this . You dont know where you are going to go. Are they going to take that space in the classroom away from the kids that they are not. They are children and they have we have children too i have kids usa usa really dramatic moments playing oit on the border. Protesters met almost 150 immigrants, mostly children, with their parents, the government transferred them to relieve the overcrowding at the texas border. The buses had to take them to another facility in another county because of those demonstrations. The mayor of marietta says they are expecting more people from texas. That situation, you know, it seems like with more and more immigrants being moved like this, we can see that situation again. Is that something we should be concerned about . Theres a did he have deafening silence in washington and a president who is sending out a confusing message. Hes deported more people than any other president in our country. The controls have not been put into place where every president have put measures in place to meet the challenge. Its like the two parents went in the backyard and the kids are in the front yard. Im a Second Generation Immigration Lawyer. I spend my time helping people immigrate into this country. We have an underground culture, an industry on both sides of border. We have jails that are now being used and people have heads to the bed and they are making money in america and we have smugglers taking children across. This brings us to this scenario that were seeing. Some of voices here yelling, you see the signs, return to sender. They are saying people should come to this nation legally and not through a back door. But the fact remains on those buses are children. Weve had people sit on this very desk is say its unamerican we would turn these children away that are facing poverty and maybe even death back home in their home nation. How do we balance those two things . Very difficult subject. We are a nation of law, and we are a government and a nation that took great stock in our legacy of immigration. We are all immigrants and post 9 11 as we see with the chinese exclusion acts in the 1800s, when that pendulum swings and theres for immigration and against immigration kind of sentiment, when you have a deafening silence in washington, a president trying to do something and Congress Wont budge, you cant advance this. There are multiple truths here. The truth is a humanitarian nation. These are children. The most vulnerable. They may have good political or criminal activity that they are seeking refuge. Because they are minors they dont accrue unlawful presence until a later time in their life. Its not a criminal act to have entered the United States and their sustain presence on u. S. Soil is not criminally sanctioned. Until what age . Until age 18. Its not even a criminal act at that point. The problem is since they are minors and since one state doesnt have the facilities, again, they are passing the can down the hall. This is now going to go another state that has room, and that culture, again, Immigration Detention Centers where you are putting these poor children next to hardened criminals, until they have a day in court, is just unbelievably poor judgment. Im formerly a federal prosecutor, and a mayor in new jersey where i live. Everybody is right and everybody is wrong. Taxpayers should not be paying for this. As we hold ourselves as the worlds cop, we should have a system of law that will meet and change with the times. The last time we changed our Immigration Law was president reagan in a economy was more robust than it is now. These immigrants will roll up their sleeves. I feel you could have you back and talk about this again. We can tell, not the smartest people around, were fairly decently smart. We cant solve this and we know its not an easy fix. You made a very good point theres no single point. We want to point out that cnn is taking an indepth look with the film documented it airs at k9 p. M. Eastern.

A poll shows him as the worst president since world war ii. 33 picked the commander in chief. George bush 28 . Both of them blew away richard nixon. Lets discuss this with margaret hoover. Already joining us, john avalon. John is very important at the beast. Because you are so important, i want to start with you. You are also the author of the book. This poll to me, you know, i dont think president obama should start crying about this just because it says hes the worst president ever. But it does speak to a lot of things going on, including, i think, just the incredible poll larization in our society. Absolutely, john. I mean the fact that george w. Bush is the second worst president in this poll does speak to how people are with their politics and their lack of perspective. Richard nixon who resigns in disgrace, this shouldnt be close. Margaret, i almost wonder if we had gone back while george w. Bush was in office and done the same poll werm, we did. I think ba the fact, i think we take it as sport to sort of pile on whoever in office. We like to complain about the job, whatever president is doing. I think thats right. I think there is also something to the timing of the polling now. Now is a particularly low water mark for most particularly presidencies. George bush had a low during this time in his second term. There had been katrina. You see this with president obama. Robert gibbs, his former press secretary called the first year after his administration the lost year. There has been and by the way his this is the sequel and by the way there has been basically, he has not been able to get anything through. His Signature Health reform has very, very unpopular to the extent the senate may even become republican by running against it. Whats really interesting is the republicans are saying the president obama is the worst president ever and democrats are saying george w. Bush is the worst president ever. The president clinton who was listed by many as the worst president ever eight years ago, before president obama took office, hes had some gains, john. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know, if anyone said that bill clinton was going to be the republicans favorite exdemocrat president , you would laugh at the time because they tried to impeach the guy. It does speak the way we view the past through a sort of misty lens. The president in office in his second term looks awful. When harry truman slunk out of washington in 1955, he had a great Approval Rating. Lets look at the perspective here. Its really ridiculous. They have no sense of history is and we get obsessed with these small fights. Another topic we can talk about, the topic of being unpopular, congress, margaret, slightly more unpopular about the president. About 15 approval. Thats up from 13 . Thats a good point. Lets stay positive on this. They are more popular than a bad rash. I think john boehner basically that brings you down to relatives, blod relatives and staffers. Weve also learned that they are quietly changing the rules about reporting free trips given that 15 , it makes you wonder why they would make that move. Yeah, no wonder they are in held in such terrible acclaim. What they are saying supposedly is they were trying to make it more transparent by creating another process by which you could just look up their trips and you could whatever. Under the guise of transparency they have made it harder to find out if they are being honest about the free gifts they are getting and the free trips they are getting in their private time. No wonder we dont like congress. By the way, this is a bipartisan move. We know the Ethics Committee helps obscure rather than transparencely. Short break here. Ahead, the can aball walks f
