Treasury deputy told the governors aide, gentlemen, in the attached is a description of what it would cost to reconnect to detroitprovided water, i assume hope no one is seriously considering that option. The estimated cost was 12 million a year. The city eventually did reconnect to detroit water in october of 2015. Days after the governor declared flints river water unsafe. The announcement was triggered by an independent study that linked lead poisoning in children to the water. One thing we keep hearing is that the governor is not involved or is detached. This would be good to show that hes there and cares. There, we can avoid the protests and still get the optics. Had but protests have continued. The fallout was eerily predicted in an email sent more than a year ago when the governors special pro jebs manager wrote, this is a Public Relations crisis waiting to explode nationally. Friday, the governor admitted that he should have been more directly involved back when his aides first emailed about the problem. Thats where im kicking myself every day. Questions. Answers.

This is a very traditional sport, and what you did is very nontraditional. Not traditional at all. Reporter she and her teammates are transforming the image of the sport, says the coach. I feel that its much more about entertainment now than about the ridge id sport as perfection. Reporter sophina is getting high marks from judges. But even higher marks on social media, where her floor exercise earlier this month, the first time she ever performed it, went viral. I woke up, and my mom called my, and she was like, oh, honey, did you know that you have like 5 million views on your floor routine . I didnt even know it was posted anywhere. Reporter its now been viewed more than 40 million times. Tell me about some of the responses youve gotten. Ones have been marriage proposals and prom proposals.

Reporter even her teammates have gotten into the groove, along with her coach who admits you can please the crowd but still not please everyone. I think there are judges that still dont like it. Ive always compared it to a picasso. A picassos worth 30 million, but there are a lot of people who wouldnt put one in their home because they dont like it. But that doesnt mean that it isnt excellent art. Reporter sophina has danced professionally. But you will not find it in her routine. You will not find the nae nae or the whip in her routine. The one performance i did, that was like my olympics. Reporter and a home as good angeles. That is the overnight news for this monday. For some of you, the news continues. For others, check back later for morning. From the broadcast center, im jeff glor. This is the cbs overnight news. Welcome to the overnight news. Im jeff glor. The biggest day in the president ial primary season comes tomorrow. Super tuesday. 12 states involved. Democrat Bernie Sanders is promising a come back after his big loss to Hillary Clinton in clinton came away with 73 of the vote and 26 for sanders. Super tuesday could bring donald trump closer to the nomination. In virginia, our Battleground Tracker shows trump with 40 of the support of voters, compared with 27 for marco rubio. In georgia, trum is at 40 . But in his home state of texas, cruz is out front with 422 . Cruz discussed the race with john deckickerson on face the nation. I think tuesday is the most important day of this primary election. The most delegates will be awarded in wumone night on super tuesday. 65 of republicans believe donald trump is not the best candidate to go head to head with Hillary Clinton, and we are beaten donald trump, and were the only candidate that can beat donald trump. If you look at the super tuesday states, we are running neck in neck with donald across sumper tuesday. If we come together, if conservatives stand together, were going to have a grate night great night on tuesday. If they dont, is he unstoppable . There ins no doubt that if donald trump steams through super tuesday, it may happen. But if you are at home and you dont want donald trump to be the republican nominee, then the only candidate who can beat donald is our campaign. So even if you like another candidate, stand with us, if you dont want donald to be the nominee. Because if and when we stop helm on super tuesday, thats how we end up beating donald and conservative, which is what its going to take to beat hillary. What did you make of Chris Christie endorsing donald trump . I dont think that was a big surprise. I think it was a blow to the rubio campaign, but at the end of the day, the washington establishment is going to go where theyre going to go. This really on super tuesday is a battle to determine where conservatives go. And i think the debate this week was some powerful moments of clarity. Donald trump substantively has the same issues as Hillary Clinton. He agreed had clinton on toppling the government in libya it led to handing that government over to radical islamism. He agreed with Hillary Clinton hon being quote neutral between israel and the palestinians. As president , i wont be neutral. America will stand unapologetically with israel. And on domestic policy, donald and Hillary Clinton on the wall street bailout, the tarp bailout of big banks. I think the government ought to be standing with main street, working men and women. And then you put on top of that the ethical issues, whether it is refusing to release his taxes. Why is that a problem if he doesnt release his taxes . He said in the debate, gosh, im being audited for two years, then he said three years, then he said maybe five years. If theres a problem in his taxes, the voters have a right to know. Folks in the media are going to naek a heyday about any problems in his taxes, and primary voters have a right to know. And hess excuse that hes audited makes it more important. Mitt romney suggested there could be a bomb slel thereshell there. I dont know if there is or not, but he owes candor to the speaking of candor, he said some pretty bracing things about you. And you said you still like him. Donald is a charming person. He didnt say charming things about you. He can turn on you and get nasty and personal and vicious. But listen, i treat him as an entertainer. I laugh it off. Its like going to the circus and seeing the acrobats and dancing bears. Hes willing to say things that are patently false. So, for example, at the debate this week, he backed off of his Health Care Position for 20 years. For 20 years, he has agreed with Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders on socialized medicine saying obamacare doesnt go far enough. He wants the government to pay for everyones health care and control it. And he and i had a back and forth where i asked, is it true or false that he said the government should pay for everyones health care. He said its false. Listen, within minutes, we put out a video contrasting what he earlier saying exactly the opposite, and what i think the debate this week did is gave real clarity to the voters, that to beat hillary we need a consistent conservative, someone who has stood for free market principles, who has stood for the constitution, and critically, who stood for the working men and women of this country, you know, you look at, we talked a lot about donealddonalds record on immigration. Given that he faced a 1 Million Court judgment for being part of a conspiracy to hire illegal aliens, given that just this week news broke that he is hiring Foreign Workers at his fancy hotel in florida. And he claims, you know, he did an interview after the debate where he said, well, gosh, you cant find americans to do these jobs, to be weighters or waitresses or bellhops. What ridiculous nonsense of the New York Times reported roughly 300 americans applied he only hired 17. Instead, he brought in Foreign Workers, because theyre captive workers because you can pay them less because they cant leave. And i think the american men and women are getting hammered right now. They want someone to stand with them, and partly the reason so many conservatives are organizing behind our campaign is i am the one who has led the battle against amnesty, to secure the border and for the working men and women. Oreilly presented you with a hypothetical. In an interview, give and similar scenario, you said we dont have a system that knocks on doors of every person in america. Seems like in one case you were not knocking on the doors and getting them and on the other you are. We dont have storm troopers but when we have evidence that a particular person has committed a crime, we send Law Enforcement to apprehend them. And the specific question was visa overstays. Right now, current law requires a biometric exit entry system when you come in on a visa. And the Obama Administration is ignoring federal law. 40 of illegal immigration is not people who cross the bor
