Responders, all veterans of largescale natural disasters tell us the smell of death is everywhere. In these areas where so many homes were swept away. Cnns Patrick Oppmann is in the city of freeport. How far are you able to safely travel from where you are and what have you seen . Reporter you go 15 minutes from where i am, and you so houses every house in neighborhood after neighborhood that are just under water the other day. We were there when they were doing rescues from a bridge which itself was under water. So you go there now and its a very sad scene because its families going to see how their houses are, if they, vak waited in many people is going check in our families are who issue in that area and then it gets really tough. Its half way up the door and there are pieces of the road and one road in, one road out that just dont exist anymore. You have to do some offroad driving and you get to communities where people say this used to be a neighborhood and its gone and while we were in some of these community, ana, we had people that came in as we did from freeport to look for their family members because they had not heart from them since the storm and shes people said they couldnt even recognize the neighborhoods anymore and they came and talked to us and tried to get the word out about their family members missing and they just dont know where they are, and we are going to show you now some of that devastation. We we we were able to witness first hand. Reaching the hardesthit areas of bahama island beans flooding through crowded straights. This area has in the island been accept believe to the str. Through cars, through buildings, the storm stalled out here, a category 5, leveling whole towns. Many rode out the storm in their homes. Many did not survive. Pastor Joey Saunders was on the third floor of his home with his son when the storm surge crashed in. We started to make to the second floor of the house and ten minutes and it started to flow up to the third flow and it was up to our head and we felt a strong current trying to brook loose everything in the cracks. And this was in the middle of the night . 1 30 in the morning and the current was so strong and the roof started to lift and thats when i remember i was underneath the water and my son,y noticed he had the search light and he disappeared the search light and he was screaming, daddy, dad e daddy. He was under water at that point . He was already gone and when i caught on to the truck, but we were 32 feet high. So the water carried you into a pipe tree in the middle of the night. Your son was a way away from you. What was going through your mind. You must have been terrified. Yes, i i was hope willing he was loshgs life and what two cant tell that same later. The bahamian government has warned the death count could spike in of courses been did the and hardest area, help from the government is yet to arrive. The government is they thaw are you wish they were moving quicker . Yes. People desperately need food and water before time runs out. A lot of people have lost most of their clothe, water, need food. Basic stuff right now. Reporter and every survival story you hear, ana, just sounds like an impossible feat against all odds and we still have no idea how many people didnt make it. Ana . Patrick oppmann reporting and incredible work youre doing. Thank you. A krauz ship hcruise ship ha with more than 1400 evacuees onboard. All of the evacuees are properly documented to enter the u. S. Lets get right to rosa flores. Fill us in on what youre seeing and hearing from people there. Reporter well, ana, this port turned into a Reunification Center today throughout the day as evacuees disembarked and they were welcomed. They were embraced. We saw hugs. We saw tears all happening right here at this port. Now most of them were family who were welcoming the evacuee, but then there are these two women, and i want you to take a look at these images because this is Renata Cox Taylor and victoria payne, and long story short, theyre not family until a few weeks ago, they were not friend, but cox taylor made a flee online several weeks ago because she needed financial help to seek medical attention for her son. Thats how she met victoria payne. They stayed in touch throughout the hurricane and now they are counting their blessings and also their new friendship. Take a listen. It was something to get away from. You know, to know that the friends you usually have and compared to persons drowning and stuff, that was really hard. A lot of families lose their loved ones and that was really hard. I know that it will catch itself. The timing when it will catch itself, i wouldnt say, but we are strong, united people, and i feel as though with some time and help well be able to come back. Reporter and ana, victoria payne tells me that through several nonprofit organizations they are providing hotels for cox taylor and her sons. So those are the types of stories weve been hearing today. Not just friends and family, but even new 14s that are helping each other. So good to hear it. Rosa flores, thank you for that report.

S. Economy on the heels of yesterdays jobs report, but behind the scenes, that confidence has waned. Sources tell cnn the president has expressed concern over what has served to be a pillar of his presidency and reelection campaign, and trump is now ordering aides to drop plans to boost americans plans on the economy and to roll them out this fall if Economic Conditions resist. S. E. Cupp and chief media correspondent and anchor of reliable sources, brian stelter. The president just tweeted on this, guys. I think we have it to put up. The economy is doing great with five exclamation points. Thats how you know its true. The exclamation points make it true. Look, as a pr strategy its been an effective one for him. You know, his criticers on his opponents or the media says something is happening and he goes to twitter and says no, its not and actually, he knows that his supporters will believe him and repeat it. So to sort of keep his base reassured, motivated, into him, i think his tweets will actually be effective, but we know from that reporting that behind the scenes he is very concerned about the economy and he knows its his lynchpin for his support. Farmers are feeling the pain from his tariffs and he knows this could really be a problem for him so hes trying to juice the fed. Hes thinking about new tax cuts for the middle class. Hes kind of trying to pull out all of the stops now in sort of a hail mary. What a week. First sharpiegate which has gone on and on and on, and the president wont let this go and its gone on to a different level on twitter and we have two federal agencies, noaa and the National Weather service duking it out against each other because of how the two different organizations have responded to the president s claims, one of them, noaa backed the president and the nws and not so much. I mean, what is going on . Its disturbing to see federal agencies that they have to prove a president s faulthoods, somehow belatedly correct and thats embarrassing and whether thats a precedent. I say its lying about a hurricane gate. This is serious, and this is about an emergent situation and the president had Bad Information about a hurricane. He shared it three times in one day and it was objectively wrong and now theyre trying to fix the data to prove he was right. Thats impossible, but as you said, noaa, a spokesman tried. People are speaking up and saying its unacceptable and inappropriate and weve seen former heads come out and say theres no such thing as fake weather ask we seem to be getting into this game where president s make mistakes and then try to clean them up by using agencies . Now the president s blaming the media for all of this. Does it seem like his attacks have escalated . Definitely fltd past few weeks and there was a scale of one to ten and we were already at an eight and yes, he has been lashing out because of a sense of insecurity and the 2020 election. We know how much the president values loyalty and he expects it and the republican party, s. E. , seems to be giving it to him. Look at whats happening now in sort of the primary contest. We saw South Carolina today throw out their republican primary even though there are at least two republican primary challengers. We know of bill weld and joe walsh. Walsh was on cnn earlier today. Listen to this. This is unprecedented. Its never been done where theres been some theres at least been primary opposition. I can think of nothing, frederick, more undemocratic if youre President Trump and things are great and you feel fine and strong you wouldnt do this. They must be afraid of the fact that maybe hes not doing well. S. E. , its not just South Carolina thats considering this. Whats your reaction . Ive been reading the press statements from the rnc and from the gop on shutting down these primaries, and if you read them theyll say how fired up we are about trump and then they also list the president s for other administrations and other candidates having done this before, but as joe walsh said, they would not do this if they felt good about his chances and i think they really are worried. Not that joe walsh or big weld or marc sanford if he runs is going to win, but they dont want them to ding his base support, and they could. Just by going on television as joe walsh has been doing for the past two weeks and pointing out his mental, psychological, ethical, moral, failings. Theyre hoping that that is significant enough to eat away and at just enough voters to prohibit him from getting reelected. As a republican voter who does not like this president and who he represents and how hes operating, for them to just remove other options for people who may feel like you. Yeah. It is its completely undemocratic. Its corrupting the process and its taking vote away, and i think it is. Its desperate and its a desperate use of power because they know that, you know, no one will check them for this, and its offensive. It should be offensive to people in both parties or people in no parties. It should be offensive to all americans. S. E. , brian, thank you both and let me just remind everybody, s. E.

Multiple sources tell cnn the House Judiciary Committee is prepared to vote next week on ground rules for conducting impeachment hearings. So far, at least 134 Democratic Congress members in the house along with independent justin amash have stated publicly they support starting a formal impeachment inquiry. Cnns senior Congressional Correspondent manu raju is joining us now by phone. Manu, this is your reporting. What more can you tell us about these new developments . Well, its a significant move because what the House Democrats want to do is essentially formalize a process thats taking place and emulate the process that took place in 1974 when the same committee, the House Judiciary Committee, moved to try to impeach Richard Nixon as president. What the democrats gring to do in the coming weeks ahead is show the hearings that theyre going to have is different from what typical congressional hearings will have and the resolution to play out exactly what the ground rules and the procedures of these hearings and say that it would look like essentially impeachment hearing that would include allowing Committee Staff members to question witnesses and allow the grand jury information secret information spells out how it would be handled in closeddoor sessions and it would discuss how the white House Counsel can respond to questions from the committee, but also this resolution that the committee will vote on spells out clearly that jerry nadler, the House Committee judiciary chair can call it in relation to his deliberations over impeachment and this is an escalation of sort, ana, because right before the Congress Took its summer break with them, and it announced that it was actively considering articles of impeachment and now what theyre saying is this is what it will look like in the week ahead that they broad knen an investigatio and looking at a range of matters and potential criminal matters that occurred this white house and things ranging from dangling pardons from officials urging them and the president did get them to break lieus that implemented immigration policies as well as concerns over possible violation of the emolument clause of the constitution which is designed, of course, to prevent a president from enriching himself and limit foreign influence. Democrats want to look at those matters and go under the prospect of the possibility that they may move forward and impeach this president and a significant move that will occur on wednesday, a from seprocedur move and they may vote to impeach this president , and of course, we know the House Speaker nancy pelosi has yet to endorse impeaching this president and thats going to be a question for her and if she doesnt then theyll just investigate and they wont ultimately vote, but it is ultimately up to her, but thats a debate that congress will have as they come back after the summer break on monday. This will be a formal and official move this week. Manu, thank you. Coming up, reports that the stench of death is in the air as search crews spread out across the most hardhit areas of the bahamas.
