Catastrophic 20 inches of rain along the west coast there it. A tourist hub before pushing inland. Officials are saying get out. Jennifer gray is standing by in the weather channel. Have you ever seen anything like this . No, never. This is stronger than katrina, stronger than andrew. Its stronger than any storm the National Weather center has ever had to deal with. One of the reasons for that is the warm temperatures in an el nino year brings more active pacific than the atlantic. We have seen a quieter atlantic season. The pacific has been very active. Especially with the intensity of these storms. Thats exactly what were seeing here with sea surface temperatures in the 80s. Winds of 200 Miles Per Hour. The latested a vuz ri came out at 2 00. Nothing has changed except its moving to the north a little bit faster at about 12 Miles Per Hour. Its expected to make landfall in the next couple hours. It could be a category 5. It is going o to continue to weaken. The terrain is mountainous so were going to see a lot of raun. The flooding thats associated with it and winds over 100 Miles Per Hour. If you were going to see incredible storm surge just to put this in perspective, the gulf. Coast had a 27foot storm surge. We could see storm surge higher than that. You can see 10 to 20 inches of rain on top of falling down the mountains on top of that surge pushing against it. Theres going to be major flooding. This could be catastrophic for the coastline. Jennifer gray, well stay in close contact with you. Thank you so much. I want to go straight to this area that will be likely hardest hit in mexico. We have a resident on the phone. Hello, good afternoon. I just went outside and took some pictures and sent them over to you guys. Theres actually no people outside. Theres few traffic. All the stores are closed. Its not raining. It was raining very light like an hour ago, but now theres not even wind. Its cloudy. And a lot of people that live here, 90 people that i know they left. And they are encountering right now heavy traffic heading out of the city. So i just stayed here because i didnt want to get into any panic. Also want to take care of my house in case theres a major disaster as they are saying. So they are saying potential for major disaster. Why not heed the warnings . Why stay put . Well, i have lived almost all mu life in beach areas like cancun. I have encountered several hurricanes and they havent been that bad. I dont like to panic. I dont like to hear the media, but sometimes i just like to stay put. Whatever i know, if something is going to happen, i just rather stay here where i know where i can move and know people. I understand. Im not going to try to make you panic but you heard our meteorologist explaining the historical sigs kans of this incoming storm. For people who have never been there, what is it like . This is a massive resort city, tons of tourists. Yes. Is this a low season or high season . This is the high season. And i heard from several people actually they sent all their tourists to gau da la ha ra. They are trying to prevent in case theres a catastrophic event. I should probably move around, but right now its too late because the traffic is horrible. The airport is closed. So actually i cant move anywhere. How do you plan to ride this out . What do you plan to do for the next 24 hours . Well, im staying at a friends house with my kids and their kids. And with other friends as well. Also they have an electric generator and they are going to cut the electricity in a few hours and the water. So here we have plenty of supplies. So if we dont have any light in town, at least with my friends we do for the next day or two. At least youll have your generator and the friends. Barbie, good luck. Let me bring in another guest who knows better than anyone how bad this could get. On the phone is roger hill, storm chaser. Hes also the world record holder for having witnessed more tornadoes than anyone else on earth. So roger, were you listening to my last conversation with barbie . The fact she plans to stick it out, smart move . Theres no way you could get e me to get down there and chase this hurricane. I have chased a lot of hurricanes over the last couple decades. When you get a storm thats basically of biblical proportions, the strongest storm ever recorded, its a fairly compact hurricane but my goodness, what a wallop this is going to punch. It basically has a threeprong fort between the storm surge and the 200 mile an hour winds plus the intense rainfall is going to cause just catastrophic flash flooding. Anybody that would stay there if you want my opinion is crazy. Listen, i know there are a lot of skeptics out there. They hear folks like you or me talk about the biggest storm ever, biblical proportions and think this it will peter out. Your response to that . As a hurricane approaches land, just its interaction with the land mass will cause it to weaken. Just like hurricane wilma and gene did in 2004 and 2005, as it approached land, both of those hurricanes were quite powerful category 5 hurricanes in the gulf basin. As they approached land, they weakened. Theres a chance it will rapidly weaken before it makes landfall, but the damage is already going to be done. Once that storm surge starts building up along the coastline and the rain starts falling, its too late whether it weakens or lot not. The damage is going to occur. How did it get so strong so fast . It was just an absolute fluke of nature how rapidly this thing intensified. You had to have the right conditions under a ridge of High Pressure where there was little to no wind shear and had to have very warm sea surface temperatures to generate the energy. Its just one of those flukes that basically go from a Tropical Storm to a category 5 hurricane in half a day. Thats almost unheard of. Roger hill, storm chaser, thank you for downing us on the phone. Coming up, breaking today, politics, donald trump finding himself in second place. But get this, one writer who has done the math says he knows the reason trump could be elected president. He joins me next to explain. Plus Hillary Clinton is smiling. Why . Because her campaign may have just had its best week ever and we now know the name of the first soldier killed in iraq since 2011 and he died coming face to face with isis. New details on that operation ahead. This is cnn. Hi im heather cox on location with the famous, big idaho potato truck. Our truck . Its touring across america telling people about idaho potatoes. Farmer lets go boy. Again this year the big idaho potato truck is traveling the country spreading the word about heart healthy idaho potatoes and making donations to local charities. Excuse me miss, have you seen our truck . You just missed it. Ahhh aw man are you kiddin me .

At at t we monitor our Network Traffic so we can see things others cant. Mitigating risks across your business. Leaving you free to focus on what matters most. When i was sidelined with blood clots in my lung,h. It was serious. Fortunately, my doctor had a game plan. Treatment with xarelto®. Hey guys hey, finally, somebody i can look up to. Besides arnie. Xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. Xarelto® is also proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. For people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, theres limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto®. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto® is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto®. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®. How do you explain the feeling of new delights discovered. And devoured. Of secrets just waiting to be shared. Of sights that make eyes go wide. You dont explain it. You just surrender. Yucatan. Live it to believe it. Jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive youre watching cnn, im brooke baldwin. Were turning around some sound. We have been listening to secretary of Defense Ash Carter talking about the First American just killed in iraq. His name is Joshua Wheeler. Here is the secretary of defense. We have now heard from rescued hostages. They expected to be executed that day after morning prayers. Their graves had already been prepared. Not only did our support provide another mass killing, we enabled our partners of ours to deliver defeat and prevented them from broadcasting a horrific massacre to the world. Meanwhile across the border, Coalition Aircraft recently hit a key node in isils Oil Enterprise destroying a pump station and crude Oil Production and cash collection. After extensive conversations with the chairman and leaders of the coalition in recent weeks, were ramping up our assault on this critical pillar of isils financial infrastructure. We will also work to disrupt isils distribution of oil in the lucrative marketplace, one that includes customers, by the way, from the assad regime. And we will continue to work on all of the socalled nine lines of effort of the counter isil Campaign Including countermessaging and foreign fighters. Also in syria, we continue to target terrorist leaders. We dealt a blow to the carson group which continues to plot against our homeland by killing a leading financial figure and is the fifth highest level operative we have killed in the past four months. As i review the pace of recent events and the multiple ways were bringing pressure against isil, i would like to command a pioneer of the sunni awakening, who i recent lu appointed the commander of our counterisil efforts. Rather than three generals responsible of different aspects of the campaign as had been the case, i have enl powered general mcfarland as the single commander of counterisil activities in both iraq and syria. His efforts will be critical in the coming months as we continue to provide support for capable partners fighting on the front lines. In iraq thousands of fighters have now passed through Coalition Training sites. The contributions of more than a dozen Coalition Nations have provided capacity to train thousands more. It is essential that more iraqis, sunni and shia, arab and curd be recruited, trained and equ equipped so that iraq eastertorial integrity is restored and the country returned to the full control of the its people. As i have stressed were committed to supporting these partners but cannot serve as a substitute for them. Were watching recent mill tower advances in beijing and ramadi, can which suggest that iraqi forces may be regaining the nushtive. As local forces continue to prove their medal and a commitment to an inclues iive future for their country, we are committed to enhancing the support we provide. The challenges of developing capable and motivated forces in syria have been painfully clear. But here, too, they have provided air support for coalition for our fighters as they prepare for a difficult drive towards isil. This is one example of how were adjusting our approach in syria to focus on equipping existing groups rather than training new recruits. Though we will continue to be open to all approaches. Were strengthening our partnerships with moderate Syrian Forces who have fought fiercely in recent months and hope to advance the gains they have made with our help. The Additional Support i mentioned today does not represent a change in our strategy, but it does represent a change in our approach to achieving it. Im determined that we continue to adapt to get results. So we will continue to work closely with the Prime Minister and his command of the Iraqi Security forces. The department of defense will support the Syrian Opposition and we will continue to meet our commitments to friends and allies across the region. Especially israel. That connection i look forward to consultations with israels defense minister when he arrives in washington next week. On tuesday i will also appear before congress. Our testimony in the senate will provide an opportunity to discuss in more detail the execution of the counterisil strategy and how to pursue the next phase of the coalition campaign. One final note. I know that each of you is wait ing for the civilian casualty report from general campbell on the tragic incident in kunduz. My staff and i are in frequent contact with general campbell as his team completes their initial report. We want to get this done, but we want to get it done right. And remember the r more complete report will come from the socalled 156, which is the expanded military investigation. I want the answers to the questions in those investigations. Accountability is part of our obligation to those who died in kunduz and must inform everything we do here at the department of defense. With that, i will take a few questions here. On your comments about the rescue mission, you said that the people that have faced execution that their graves had been dug. Curious how you know that . And also you said there was significant intelligence gathered. Can you describe that . On the first point, first of all we have 70 people rescued who told us what they were facing. The graves were right next door to the compound. It happens that we had seen them beforehand. We were watching this compound once the peshmerga informed us they were prisoners of isil there and so that was another indication to us what appeared to be basically the digging of graves. You cant be sure by looking at it, but it looked like that. Then we had other indications as well u cant go into, but the main thing is that our peshmerga partners were the ones that had information that this particular location was being used basically as a prison camp and seemingly planned to be an Execution Center by isil. I forgot the second part. This is the stuff you get and the great value, by the way, of raids of this kind and i expect well do more of this kind of thing. But one of the reasons for that is that you learn a great deal. Because you collect the documentation. You collect various electronic equipment and so forth on top we have 70 individuals who spent a lot of time there and who were in turn captured by isil in different ways and thereby had different perspectives. So the sum of all this will be valuable intelligence and saving the lives that were about to be sacrificed is the main thing and supporting our peshmerga fighters and have been wonderful in iraq. You just said you expect there will be more raids like this in the future. So could you please explain how more raids fits with no combat troops . Well, i say we will do more raids remember, if you remember the raid, we have this capability. It is a Great American strength. It doesnt represent us assuming a combat role. It represents a continuation of our assist mission. I said from the beginning, and we mean this, when we find opportunities to do things that are effectively prosecute the campaign, were going to do that. And this is an example of a case where we could do something we alone had the cape can blt to do and im absolutely prepared to do that. So raids is one of those categories. I suspect well have future opportunities in the future. Can you clarify the rules of engagement . Its my understanding that the special Operations Commander made a decision and entered a compound in the middle of a fire fight. They can do it in selfdefense. They can do it when partners come under fire as well. If so, how is that not combat . I wonder if you think the administration is being misleading when he says u. S. Forces are not in combat . Let me explain what happened in this particular event. Everything i know about this incident was that as the compound was being stormed, the plan was not for the u. S. Advise and assist and accompanying forces to enter the compound or be involved in the fire fight. However, when a fire fight ensued, this merp did what im very proud that americans do in that situation. He ran to the sound of the guns and stood up and all the indications are it was his actions and that of one of his teammates that protected those who were involved in breaching the compound and made the mission successful. So that is an inherent risk that we ask people to assume. It wasnt part of the plan, but it was something he did. And im immensely proud e he did that. Were very saddened that he lost his life, but nobody should be in any illusions that americans are at risk. Americans are flying combat missions, thousands of combat missions over syria and iraqi territory. There are americans involved in training and advising security can forces around the country. We do not have combat formations there it the way we had had months upon a time in iraq or the way we but we have people in harms way and shown a willingness to put themselves in harms way in order to have mission success. I think thats very commendable. Just for a follow up. The administration has taken great pains in various permutations to say its not Ground Combat. Just as you said, its not the same size as it was during the iraq invasion. But if youre saying there are going to be more missions like this and if commanders will be commended to go into battle they will be in harms way. I dont want anybody to be under any illusions about that. But this was an opportunity in which the capabilities we uniquely possess could have a material affect. It was the risk associated with that, there was. But again, all i can say is from the reports i have received, im immensely proud of this young man. I want to ask you about something else. Women in combat, your decision on whether to borrow women from Ground Combat jobs. The general is supposed to offer his recommendation by the end of the month. The marines, as you know, or many of us know, have asked that all infantry jobs also some other jobs combat engineers, be closed to women as well. Its based on a part that mixed gender units did not. Do as well. They were slower, less lethal and had more injuries. That report is marked preadditional not for release to the public. So im wondering the question is when will you release that report . After you make your decision . Is and what about the hill . Lawmakers want that as well. Will you release it to them before you make your decision . Let me back up. First of all, i dont have anything new for you relative to two weeks ago when we discussed this. To take it from the beginning again, the direction to the services that im going back a couple years was to they should prepare for all positions to be open to women unless they requested exceptions from the secretary of defense by january 1st, 2016. So thats me several months from now. That the services wish to do analysis and make recommendations to the chairman and then the chairman will review that and they will bring it to me. They have not done that yet. So that report, which you know of. Theres been a lot here. This has been incredibly important to hear some of the details about this mission in Northern Iraq. Secretary of Defense Ash Carter. Difficult for him to talk about the fact this is the First American killed in combat in iraq since 2011. Joshua wheeler talking about this rescue mission saying that they absolutely knew that this mass execution was eminent of about 70 people they went in to go rescue. That the graves had been dug and that these hostages were planning on being executed after morning prayers. There were a lot of other details that the secretary of defense mentioned. So were going to get into a lot of that. I have two navy seals joining me next hour to talk about this rescue mission and to jim sciuttos question, what happened in Northern Iraq square to the fact the administration is saying u. S. Forces are not in combat roles. But again, our condolences to the family of Joshua Wheeler. 40 of the streetlights in detroit, at one point, did not work. You had some blocks and you had major thoroughfares and corridors that were just totally pitch black. Those things had to change. We wanted to restore our lighting system in the city. You can have the greatest dreams in the world, but unless you can finance those dreams, it doesnt happen. At the time that the bankruptcy filing was done, the Public Lighting Authority had a hard time of finding a bank. Citi did not run away from the table like some other bankers did. Citi had the strength to help us go to the credit markets and raise the money. Its a brighter day in detroit. People can see better when theyre out doing their tasks, young people are moving back in town, the kids are feeling safer while they walk to school. And folks are making investments and the community is moving forward. 40 of the lights were out, but theyre not out for long. Theyre coming back.

They say they found plenty of evidence of mismanagement and poor judgment, but they said that poor management is not a crime. Thats what this letter says that was sent to members of Congress Just in the past few minutes. Investigation closed. Thank you for calling in with that, evan perez. A shocker in iowa. Donald trump now trails 9 points behind ben carson. Carson leads the republican pack with 28 among likely iowa caucus goers. Hes leading in two important polls. You have the Des Moines Register politics. The poll numbers prompted this retweet from trump. Ben carson is now leading in the polls in iowa. Too much monsanto in the corn creates issues in the brain . But within hours trump followed that tweet blaming an intern saying this. The young intern who accidentally did a retweet apologizes. And on the raid our radio host hes not sure he agrees with the new poll numbers. Take a listen. Youre ahead except this iowa poll. Why is that the outliar . Whats going on in iowa . I was very surprised to see it. I was in iowa last night. We had 4,000 people. It was packed. Its a love fest. It was amazing. I was stwactually surprised to it because i think were doing well in iowa. I have a feeling were doing much better in iowa than the polls are showing if you want to know the truth. Saying see, we told you he wouldnt last. My next guest says not so fast. In this article, David Bernstein wrus a Trump Presidency is really possible. Its so nice to have you on today. Watch a out as donald trump reports on his all these polls, he may be quoting your article. You heard it here now. You point out in your piece you win elections by these electoral votes. So youre saying if there is this hypothetical, if Hillary Clinton gets the democratic nomination, donald trump may not just win that nomination, e he may win. Tell me why. Its important for us to keep in context that elections are won in the electoral college. Trump starts out with 206 electoral votes. States like indiana and North Carolina and places where obama won in 08 and almost lost in 2012, those places maybe people thought hillary could take those back. Someone like trump is going to do well in places like that. What it really comes down to if you look at ohio and florida. Trump is leading marco rubio and jeb bush in every single poll in florida for months and months. These are two of the most popular politicians in all of florida. Obviously huge hispanic population, but its a cuban population is large there. Its not particularly liberal. They are more likely to go to trump and evangelical flavor there. And in ohio people say theres the unions, people are going to turn out for democrats. But theres a new ruling that looks like it may come down, which is going to weaken union power further. And he has the working power feel. With the working class appeal, this would be the first real billionaire. Why when mitt romney was running that was seen as a negative for him. It has not been an issue with donald trump. One of the most Amazing Things about trump, hes run for president for free. People see his wealth differently. This guy lives in a gold palace. Hes everything i should be. Im going to trust him to fix the economy. So his wealth seems a operational to a lot of voters. And he seems like just one of his us. His Straight Talk that he puts forward, its able to make a lot of people say, yeah, i could vote for this guy. What do you call them two secret weapons . What are the two secret weapons in trumps arsenal . One of them is money. Hes got total amount of money at his disposal. He can deploy that whenever e he wants. Thats a huge amount of power. And i think the other thing that is really particularly unique in the case of trump is he is someone who is a celebrity. Now every celebrity who has ever run for public office, i dont count clay aiken, but every single celebrity, they have all won. He has 92 name i. D. Across the country. We have never had two people running for president like that. Also hes more the most popular celebrity to run for public office. Its a fascinating thesis and you back it up with all these facts and figures. We shall see. Thank you so much for swinging by. I appreciate it. Next, on the flip side, Hillary Clinton is smiling today. Her campaign may have just had its best week. I have Michael Smerconish joining me to marinate on Hillary Clinton.

Does Hillary Clinton could have one of the best weeks of his president ial campaign. She endured the 11hour grilling before the panel regarding the benghazi attack. Shes coming off a win of the most watched democratic debate ever. And shes coming into a new phase of her campaign where Vice President joe biden is no longer a threat since he announced this week hes not running for president. Today before a much friendlier crowd at the Democratic National committees Women Leadership r forum, Hillary Clinton seemed to take a victory lap. Its been quite a week, hasnt it . Well, thank you all so much. I am absolutely delighted to be here. As some of you may know, i had a pretty long day yesterday. With me now is commentator Michael Smerconish, host on saturday mornings here at cnn. What a week for her. She had a long day yesterday, but i bet she wishes it could have gone longer. The longer she sits there, the better it is for her. She probably hopes they will keep her until midnight. How does she main than this kind of momentum we have seen over the last ten days . She maintains this kind of momentum by having joe biden out of the race. That was a huge benefit for her. I dont know he could have defeated her for the nomination, but i think he could have given her a run for the money. I believe that he was in it until the last minute because i look looked at that speech and if you took out the first three paragraphs, it was a campaign speech. And he disagreed with her and left that in the speech and disagreed with her as far as republicans as enemies. And thats an important issue. On that, this is Hillary Clinton giving joe biden a shoutout a at two different events today. He saved our economy from what could have been a great depression. He rescued the auto industry. He began the crackdown on wall street abuses. And on top of that, he helped 18 million more americans get Health Insurance through the Affordable Care act. So i agree with what Vice President biden said the other day in the rose garden. Democrats should be proud of that record of achievement and we should defend it. So it started with what she said at the debate. Then it seemed like the joe biden swipe at Hillary Clinton regarding the enemies comment and now owe hear that. Is this all about an endorsement . It would seem that joe biden will not be elected president of the United States, but by acclamation, the man is now a statesman. I thought that was the rose garden ceremony and the remarks he made. So yes, i think she really wants to make sure hes firmly in this and not just lip speeak. Become to the hearing yesterday, i watched a lot of it. Im sure you did as well. It was 11 hours on capitol hill. There was fighting, a lot of theater. You said it was great for Hillary Clinton. She wished it had gone on longer. Any moments in particular . The moment in particular for me i think was the moment that it ended. I went to the drudge report. The drudge report was about her could ha coughing. I was curious and left cnn and went over to fox ever so briefly. They werent even on it for the last they bailed out half way through. They have been on this for three years. That was the tell tail sign. The catnip wasnt good until the end, they were off this. And one more indication. Paul ryan yesterday says, okay, ooism in for speaker. If the gop were having a hell of a day, he would have waited until today or monday and he didnt do that. Those three signs tell you all you need to do. See you tomorrow morning. Thank you so much. 9 00 in the the morning, dont miss this man here on cnn. Marco rubio is going to be on state of the union along with Bernie Sanders and donald trump. Just ahead, for the First Time Since the black lives Matter Movement was born, president obama is now speaking out saying all lives matter, but details, next. The biggest problem this century is Sustainable Energy production and consumption. You better make electricity in a sustainable way. We either solve that or there will be a huge economic collapse. Independent of any environmental impact. Electricity is costly. And it is vulnerable. So what happens when the grid goes out . Bloom energy is not the grid, but they power Big Companies helping them transition off the grid with the fuel cell base energy they call a bloom box. What the bloom box does is it takes the fuel and converts that into electricity with no in between steps. They came up with the idea while working at nasa. He was trying to figure out how to get. Astronauts power and oxygen on mars when he stumbled upon a Chemical Reaction that put off a lot of energy. This is a fuel cell. Youll notice its got two sides. Were going to put these plates on top like that and then well put another one of those cells in another plate in another cell and stack them up. Then the voltages add up and i start to have enough voltage to power homes, buildings. Just as a personal computer, its going to change the world. Can a business have a mind . A subconscious. A knack for predicting the future. Reflexes faster than the speed of thought. Can a business have a spirit . Can a business have a soul . Can a business be. Alive .

While speaking at a criminal Justice Forum last night, the president says the movement is not antilaw enforcement. Rather president obama says it gives voice to problems happening only in the Africanamerican Community. I think everybody understands all lives matter. The reason that the organizers use the phrase black lives matter was not because they were suggesting nobody elses lives matter. Rather what they were suggesting was theres a specific problem that is happening in the Africanamerican Community thats not happening in other communities. And that is a legitimate issue that weve got to address. I want to bring in the White House Former director of religious affairs under president obama. Joshua, welcome back. Great to be on with you, brooke. So some members of the black lives Matter Movement. They have been calling on the president for quite some time. Why do you think he chose last night as the first time to truly address this . Listen, hes been addressing the underlying issues of race in our country and bias and criminal Justice Reform for a long time. It was just common sense remarks from president obama yesterday and just because a lot of feeks dont agree with him, doesnt make it any less true. For far too long, we have not acted as if black lives matter as other lives. Jordan davis in 2012 killed for playing music too loudly to nine africanamericans in a church in charleston a few months ago. We see over and over again that black lives unfortunately have not mattered as other lives. We heard the president speak to that issue and im glad he did it. Let me push you from one perspective. This is sheriff david clark. He was notorious for opposing the black lives Matter Movement. He called obama a criminal sympathizer. Your response . Listen, that rhetoric is so overheated and far out there that im not sure it deserves that much of a response. I think well never move to a better place on race in this country if we dont acknowledge basic historical and contemporary facts. If you ask the families of jordan davis and the charleston nine and others, if we have issue of devaluing africanamericans theres no way that you can deny that. Its not just president obama supporting this issue of Racial Justice and reconciliation. Right now you have the United StatesSenate Moving Forward on criminal Justice Reform legislation today. So clearly theres some senators who believe. Black lives matter too. You have conservatives, police officers, others rallying around reform. I think thats a good thing. I know jordan daviss mother personally and someone who lost two loved ones in the charleston church. They would agree with you. Black lives matter, we know they have petitioned the dnc to organize a totally separate black lives matter democratic debate. The dnc said well give you a town hall. They say thats not enough. Some of the candidates have taken this issue head on. Not all. How will they . I think we deserve to have a full conversation on issues of race and bias in this country. Whether that happens at a town hall or debate, i will let the parties figure that out. In the upcoming debates, they should talk about race. This issue has been with us since before our found iing. Were talking about 1619 jamestown. All the way until today. Until we get with the program and say that were never going to solve this if we dont have a conversation, well keep dealing with it over and over again. Joshua, thank you so much. Thank you. You got it. New e details on the biggest hurricane in history, next. Breaking news here on cnn. Im brooke baldwin. Thank you for being with me. Lets get to it. Right now there are thousands of people bracing for this catastrophic impact as the most intense hurricane ever recorded barrels towards mexico. I repeat this monster storm is stronger than andrew, bigger than katrina is expected to break records. People who have decided to ride this out will be facing 200 Miles Per Hour sustained winds. Let me put that in perspective for you. Thats an f5 tornado, the deadly there is. But this hurricane will churn slowly spanning some 60 miles and bring along with it intense flooding and up to 20 inches of rain. Officials fearing the coastline could be decimated by tonight. Although i cant confirm this, i just spoke with a woman in Puerto Vallarta who said the roads are blocked. Its too late to get out even if you wanted to. Jennifer gray is standing by for us in the weather center. We just started hearing about this last night. How did it get so strong so fast . We have really warm waters. The environmental conditions were just right. We knew that this storm was going to intensify, but this storm has been the fastest ever to intensify this rapidly. So this is a very strong storm. Youre right, the wee hours of yesterday morning just a Tropical Storm. Now a category 5 storm, very powerful. It will make landfall as either a strong category 4 or even category 5. Winds of 200 o Miles Per Hour, gusts of 245 Miles Per Hour. As you said, stronger than andrew, katrina, camille, a lot of people in the u. S. Lived through those storms. This one is stronger. Not to mention the winds were going to be talking about major strorm surge along the gulf coast during katrina. We had up to to 27feet storm surge. This is going to be unprecedented. Could be catastrophic for this portion of mexico. Moving to the north right now at 12, its going to make landfall in the next couple hours. Once it makes landfall, its going to weaken considerably. Mountainous terrain will shred the storm apart, so it will start to lose wind strength. It will hang on to the moisture though. We are going to see a lot of rain. Like we mentioned about the terrain, all the rain has to go somewhere. Its going to flow down the mountains. We are going to see major flooding. Not to mention, we could see landslides, mud slides, we have seen this in previous storms in mexico and they can be deadly. Thats also something were really going to be watching out for. 10 to 20 inches of rain possibly right along the coast. This is going to be one of those storms we will be talking about forever. This is going to be a major one over the next couple hours. Well be in contact with you. Jennifer gray, thank you so much. The force of Hurricane Patricia will impact the United States and those in the southwest in texas are already under flash flood watches as it braces for more rain. Joining me is is a storm chaser. Hes watching this it storm from corsicana, texas. Reid, tell me where you are and i also hear you were going to go to mexico to chase this, but you changed your mind. I did. Because of the flooding here in texas. Right now im in corsicana. And just in front of me they shut down the road. Theres 2 to 3 feet of water there. Im getting hammered by 2 to 3 inches an hour. Im looking at a swollen creek in front of me thats overflowed its banks and rapidly rising. The situation from waco jst south of dallas is looking bad right now with these training storms. Its only going to get worse as it shifts to the houston area and the southeast. As this upper e low pulls in moisture, its only going to keep spiraling out of control in terms of flooding. In mexico i was talking to a woman last hour who plans to ride this out at a friends house with a generator. She knows she will not have water, will not have electricity. She also said this is a huge resort town. This is high season. I would not be riding this storm out if i were anybody. Especially right in its path. I have seen over a thousand tornadoes and been inside an f4 tornado and saw wind speeds of 160 Miles Per Hour. That was only for a few seconds inside an armored vehicle. Imagine experiencing 200 miles an hour sustained winds for several hours and a wall of water, the power will be out, it will be overnight in the middle of darkness. There could be landslides. Theres only one road that goes up to Puerto Vallarta and its going to be shut dun for sure. If i went down there, i would be trapped there for weeks. A good friend of mine said winds like this are the grim reaper when it comes to chasing hurrica hurricanes. You dont want to be down there in that swath near the eye. Winds like this would be the grim reaper for the hurricane. So when i see these pictures, and we have been showing them, sandbags on the beach, store fronts, will that really weather this kind of historic storm . This storm is so intense its a a tight circulation. Its much smaller in size than katrina. The wind speeds are stronger, but its a tight circulation. The Hurricane Force winds extend 30 miles. To so if the storm goes south of Puerto Vallarta they could dodge a bullet. If it curves to the lef, theres going to be nothing that survives in its path. The sandbags will be washed out to sea with landslides. Just to the right of the eye where you have that on shore flow and the water piling up, it looks like here for the next several days well be chasing the flooding from texas down to the southeast. At least ill survive to see another storm. My goodness, reid timer, stay safe. I appreciate you call iing in. Thank you. Tourists who did not make it out of town are being forced to stay in shelters and being set up in hotels. One of those areas is guadalajara. We have our senior American Affairs editor raphael romo outside a hilton hotel. I see the rain has begun. How many evacuees would you say thus far have arrived there in guadalajara . Reporter we saw dozens here where we are, brooke. It is a very sad and dire situation at the same time. People we ran into came for a destination wedding. They realized that this was going to be a category 5 hurricane last night and so they took it upon themselves to get a shuttle to get out of there as soon as possible and they barely got here about an hour ago. Mexican officials started saying that this is the kind of hurricane that they had never seen before. A category 5 with winds well over 300 kilometers an hour. Its the kind of wind power that can topple trees, that can pick up cars, that can knock down walls. So mexicans are bracing for this powerful storm. Already coastal areas in three states have been evacuated. This hurricane is going to affect virtually all of the Mexican Pacific coast. So it is a very difficult situation here on the ground. Quickly, i hear traffic is an absolute nightmare trying to get out and head toward where you are. Are there multiple roads and routes inland or very few . Reporter yeah, the problem is that a lot of people didnt leave well ahead of what the authorities were anticipating. So in the last 24 hours, this went from a Tropical Storm to a category 5 hurricane. So a lot of people didnt really have time to e evacuate. Now its already too late. We were trying to make our way into Puerto Vallarta today. Protection officials told us theres a good. Chance that we will shut down the roads and you will be stranded and theres no way they are going to be able to help you. A better idea is to stay where you are and monitor the situation from there. But again, the rain started a few hours ago. The winds are picking up. Mexico is brace. Ing for this category 5 hurricane, brooke. Raphael romo, thank you so much. Just ahead, p. Diddy now says voting in america is a scam. Hear why. Plus Hillary Clinton taking a political vikt are you lap after the hearing on benghazi. Critics say one moment proved their case against her. And. We now know the name of the First American combat soldier killed in iraq since 2011 and he died coming face to face with isis. Well speak with two navy seals, next.

We now know the identity of the american soldier killed while helping to free 70 hostages from this isiscontrolled prison. Joshua wheel er is the First American killed in combat in iraq since 2011. We just heard from the defense secretary ash carter within the last hour expressing his condolences and. Offering details on this mission itself. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and loved ones of Master SergeantJoshua Wheeler who will be welcomed home tomorrow by his family, by my wife and myself, who died after our partners in the rescue of 70 hostages held but isil. The sacrifice and Decisive Action of this courageous american in support of his comrades reminds us of the dangers the Coalition Forces confront in iraq, but also of the important assistance they provide local forces as they lead the fight against. A barbaric enemy. This is also the first time that any american troops have come face to face on the ground with isis, that we know of. Further more the white house says the pentagon signed off on this raid. It was not from president obama. The mission is bringing up a lot of questions about americas current role in iraq. I have two knave seels with me. Hes the author of among heros and also the ceo of force 12 media. Also with us chad williams. Hes been involved with missions with Iraqi Security forces. Hes the author of seal of god. Thank you both for your service. Turning to brandon first, when you hear some of the details of this mission, we heard from secretary cart canner saying the idea wasnt to be involved in a fire fight. It wasnt supposed to be within this compound. How would wub of these rescue operations go down . In a situation like this when you have the sergeant in an advisory role, the intelligence is coming from our kurdish partners. Youre not going to have a lot of u. S. Knowledge of exactly what went down here. Whats almost tragic and Sergeant Wheeler is is an American Hero and the fact that its been disclosed that hes part of delta force, it really shows that the army is shouldering a huge burden on the war on terror. The tragedy to me is we have the best and brightest of the special operations in places like iraq fighting isis, but still a murky Foreign Policy strategy objective. Then looking at the fact that theres a very good chance that an American Assault rifle was used shooting back at the peshmer peshmerga. Its a very complicated situation. I think americans need to really hold our elected officials accountable and develop a Foreign Policy strategy. Especially as campaigns are asking Smart Questions with that regard. Chad to you on this murkiness. Heres my other question. Because the pentagon spokesperson said this about the mission. We did not have a crystal cleared in of who exactly would be at this compound and said that the United States did not have a full accounting of everyone present. With your advise and atist roles and missions, does ta surprise you or is that protocol . Is that normal . That doesnt totally surprise me. As brandon pointed out the sources that you get sometimes are pretty questionable. The last operation i was ever on that source of information ended upsetting us up on an ambush where we ended up in a gunfight for our lives. These sources are pretty questionable sometimes, but the reality is that theres life. They rescued 70 people. This is just a reminder that freedom isnt free. Its paid for in the currency of blood. We were learning they had eyes on mass graves, that the mass execution was eminent for these 70 hostages. Included of those to be rescued, more than 20 members of the Iraqi Security forces, local residents and several isis fugters accused of spying, if we as americans werent going in to rescue americans, why not send in iraqi u. S. Trained iraqi forces to do this . I think the situation is that were trying to limit american involvement in iraq. So somebody like Sergeant Wheeler is being used in an advisory role where the primary fighting forces. I do think thats a smart way to use our special operations in iraq. But again, i would just point to what the hell are we doing over there in the first place . Whats the plan . I have talked to members of the house of representatives and senators and nobody can seem to give me a straight answer. Thats very concerning to me. What is the issue will we hear from the administration. There are no combat roles. He was asked about this today how this squares with what we have heard from the administration. This was a question from our own jim sciutto. Here is his answer. We have this Great American strength. It doesnt represent us assuming a combat role. It represents a continuation of our advise and assist missions. When we find opportunities to do things that will effectively prosecute the campaign, were going. To do that. So chad, this is to both of your points, this was an advise and assist role. No combat role, yet obviously our guys were staring down isis face to face here in iraq. Right, i mean the goal is to teach these kurds how to fight their own fights. The best way to do that is to not only work on base, but to go out there with them and so were just trying to help them take out the trash and every now and then your hands are going to have to get dirty. This is just one of the tragic situations where our guys pretty much got pulled into a fight. As i turn to you in our remaining time, can we talk about this fancy gala and your organization . Sure, i would love to. This saturday were coming together for an annual gala for the red circle foundation, which is set up to really help the families of special operations and my friend Glen Dougherty who was in iraq, the fact that we lost an American Hero in benghazi and the u. S. Government provided no basic death benefit to the family, it was really the major inspiration behind me founding the red circle foundation. We provide emergency memorial and medical relief for these families that need it. We can step in where the government may end uptaking care of the issue. It could be three years later like were looking at today. Ill see you there. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Just remind er to watch the cnn special report long road to hell america in iraq monday at 9 00 eastern here on cnn. Coming up next, pretty strong debate performance, a resounding no from joe biden, calm and collected appearance in front of the Benghazi Committee. Is this a victory lap for the former secretary of state . Well discuss. Also the resort towns along mexicos western coast bracing for the impact of the largest hurricane ever recorded. Landfall expected this afternoon. How those in its path are getting ready. This is cnn. Everybody in the village has a chosen specialty. Joe bob over there does the wheel. Somebody ls is scraping the fur off. Everybody has a function. It goes back to the first fire. Ill bring the dip. Normally you hold it like this and put everything you want in here. Got it. You can take some and were going to take it around. Greens with a big hit of cheese. I like the cheese. Lamb prepared diced, amazing. Thats really good. Thats delicious. This is love without reservation. Barbecue, now were talking. Man, what a meal. Pretty impressive. Then, whiskey and music and the party really starts going. When you booked this trip, you didnt know we had over 11,000 local activities listed on our app. Or that you could book them right from your phone. A few weeks ago, you still didnt know if you were gonna go. Now the only thing you dont know, is why it took you so long to come here. Expedia. Technology that connects you to the people and places that matter. Nothing artificial. Just real roasted turkey. Carved thick. Thats the right way to make a good turkey sandwich. The right way to eat it . Is however you eat it. Panera. Food as it should be. Actually, knowing the kind of srisk that youre comfortable sure thiwith,ight . Id steer clear. Really . Really. Straight talk. Now based on your strategy i do have some other thoughts. Multiplied by 13,000 Financial Advisors its a big deal. And its how edward jones makes sense of investing. I found a better deal on prescriptions. We found lower copays. And a free wellness visit. New plan. Same doctor. Im happy. Its medicare open enrollment. Have you compared plans yet . Its easy at medicare. Gov. Or you can call 1800medicare. Medicare open enrollment. Youll never know unless you go. I did it. You can too. What a week, really the last ten days that Hillary Clinton has had. The week that could mark one of if not the best of her president ial campaigns. She endured thursdays 11hour grilling about the benghazi attack. Shes coming off a win of the most watched democratic debate ever. And shes come iing into the campaign where joe biden is no longer a threat since hes announced hes not running for president. Today before a much friendlier crowd at the womens leadership forum, Hillary Clinton seemed to take a victory lap. Its been quite a week. Well thank you all so much. I am absolutely delighted to be here. As some of you may know, i had a pretty long day yesterday. Joining me now is the former governor of michigan and Senior Adviser to correct the record, a group formed to defend Hillary Clinton on benghazi. Also with me is political commentator buck sexton, a former cia counterterrorism analyst. Welcome to both of you. And buck, on the notion of the smiles and victory lap from Hillary Clinton today, care to comment . As much as it pains me to say, yeah, she had a good week this week. Well look at you. I call them like i see them. She had a good week for more than just the debate and benghazi. Her biggest possible competitor stayed out. Her only critic inside the race dropped out. And we had benghazi more or less flaming out. There are some things that will perhaps continue to be brought up in the course of the campaign, but clearly after 11 hours, there was nothing that came out. She came across as poised. It didnt seem like it worked if the idea was to be a partisan witch hunt. It has been a strong week for Hillary Clinton, but i will say its a long race and people dont trust her and there are things that were not good for her. Well loop back. Governor, your thoughts . I actually agree with most of what buck just said, which is that 11 hours of testimony, its the longest amount that any witness has testified in congress over the past 20 years. 316 questions, 114 interruptions by republicans and she showed that she is president ial. She is unflappable. Truly you dont get many chance like this as a candidate to demonstrate how knowledgeable, how sustained your knowledge is under fire over a long period of time. She came out fabulously. Although i must say she still has a primary to run. Its not like this is over. She has a ways to go. Another piece of good news today is its been a good week. Lets get to the disagreeing between the two of you. Lets move on. After her testimony yesterday, the chair of the Benghazi Committee was asked what he thought if he had anything new came out of that 11hour long hearing. Heres what he said. I think some of jordans questioning when you say new today, we knew some of that already. We knew about the emails. In terms of her testimony, i dont know that she testified that much differently today than she has previously times shes testify testified. Nothing really new. Where was the damning piece of evidence from republicans . There was some thats new in the sense that it solidifies a narrative. People that believe that Hillary Clinton choose and not to be true at the time as a narrative of why the benghazi attacks happened. Look at the email she sent to egypt or her daughter and say she knew this was a terrorist attack right away and versus it having anything to do with the video. So people can say those who have been telling that hillary is a liar is correct. It doesnt seem to matter all that much. It seems like shes able to continue on. At one point she said they were unsolicited. You can say over 11 hours youre going to get tripped up, but that seemed like an intention gnat misdirection and a lie at worst. Then her ineptitude and inability to be a secretary of state who is paying attention to one of the most critical places in the world at that time. Not just in Tropical Storms of it being a country we just t toppled, but also for her and the obama administration. Libya was their decision and if you have the ambassador there sending hundreds of requests for more security unanswered, thats dereliction of duty. One, she said repeatedly yesterday and has said all along as the accountability review board that was set up to investigate this and the other committees have found that it was not her responsibility to respond to security requests. They went to the security professionals. Now the accountability review boards suggested chaungs and she put them all in place. She took responsibility, she took skpax that is critical. Second, with respect to her changing the narrative, both are true. There was an attack and, yes, some of it was fuelled by a video. It doesnt have to be one or the other. Were beyond that. We are not beyond that. There was an attack in cairo. You know very well that video helped to fuel perhaps some of the motivation of some of those who were attacking. But it wasnt the only thing. They added it in. Theres no way. As she repeatedly said both can be true that you dont know the motivation. You also know that there was a planned attack. Both of them can be true. As trey gowdy said yesterday, he didnt learn anything new, there was nothing new. The only question thats left is when are they going to shut this down after having spent 4. 7 million worth of taxpayer money. This committee, really the Republican National committee should reimburse the United States for this. Now youre filibustering. Theres a couple points. The idea its not her responsibility is false. Shes a secretary of state. Hes a u. S. Ambassador. I worked for the cia. She did not take responsibility. She should have offered her resignation right away. It should have stop ped with hillary but she didnt want to deal with it. This is the truth. What about the cia . Why wasnt petraeus part of the grilling . It was cia folks who were in and around benghazi at the time. Why wasnt that part of it . To either of you. It wasnt part of it because thats not the purpose of that committee. The committee was for the purpose of bringing Hillary Clinton down. Why dont they want to release the transcript of sydney blumenthal because out of the 550 questions he was asked, only 20 of them were about benghazi. Seven other committees have reviewed this and found no wrong doirng. They said there was systemic changes that needed to be made and she took responsibilities. She was accountable and took action. This committee is not about benghazi. Its about taking Hillary Clinton down. Thats going to benefit you politically. When it came time for her to look as though she had a close personal connection with ambassador stevens, she was quick to assert that. He couldnt email her or talked to her on the phone. This was on her. She was a poor secretary of state. Hopefully that will factor in. Thats not protocol with all the different embassies. He was surprised that they were not in contact. Final thought, but moving forward, iraq, syria, hot spots around the world, what about our diplomats who were sending to these places . I think this one was for me. They take considerable risks and trying to do the best they can. Its essential for them to know that the first reaction and the re reactions of all those around those in the power structure here at the state document, pentagon, rest of the government is going to be to keep our peep safe. And worry about the politics as a distant issue. Governor, you get the last word. I dont disagree with that at all. Thats why this committee should be disbanded. Thank you both so much. Appreciate it. Twice one week, ben carson coming out on top knocking donald trump out of first place in a major poll. Well discuss the role women are playing in ben carsons sudden surge. And the strongest hurricane ever recorded is about to make landfall likely as a category 5 storm. Well talk to someone inside the evacuation zone, next. Jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive jake reese, day to feel alive building aircraft, the likes of which the world has never seen. This is what we do. Thats the value of performance. Northrop grumman. When your cold makes you wish. You could stay. In bed all day. You need the power of. New theraflu expressmax. New theraflu expressmax. The power to feel better. All eyes on Hurricane Patricia and its trek towards the Mexican Pacific coastline. Its the strongest on record with monster winds of 200 Miles Per Hour. It looks like it will be more powerful than hurricanes andrew and katrina. And the intensity of it, it is frightening. Earlier thursday it was just a Tropical Storm. Then Flash Forward 24 hours and its a category 5 hurricane. Its supposed to make landfall in just hours possibly at catastrophic levels. With all these warnings, you have massive preparations under way and flights in and out suspended. But we have a crew now officially there. My colleague Martin Savidge is on the phone with me. You have just driven actually inside the bulls eye of the storm. I want you to tell me about how you get there, how you got there and what you saw along the way. Im hearing about a lot of traffic. Reporter it was a lot of traffic. Hello to you. Its great to hear your voice. Yesterday we were looking for el chapo, who was on the run. Now here we are chasing this mass. Ive and extremely dangerous hurricane. It was about seven hours it took us from mazat lan. Were still setting you have our cameras. Initially the roads were deserted. Once you got closer to Puerto Vallarta, it was bumper to bumper. You notice a lot of tour buss. Many of the Tourist Hotels here they shut down. They evacuated. It was decided it was best just simply that people leave. And they had the opportunity to get away. This is what they have been doing. The airport is closed so they wont be flying out. As for the local people here, what they have done is open up scho schools in the hills farther away from the coast to house people there. They cannot stress how dangerous this potential storm is. The other thing we saw was prepositioning of heavy earth mo moving equipment. This is a mountainous area. Debris was blocking areas. E we saw a lot of bulldozers and earth movers, graters, those kind of things needed that they are trying to keep the primary highways open. But even the smallest of roadways were jammed with everybody leaving town. Chasing el chapo to chasing the biggest hurricane ever. Martin savidge to you and your crew, please stay safe. Well look for your visuals in the coming hours. Thank you so much. Turning now to the race for the white house. Donald trump has fallen to second place in a new poll in iowa.

Donald trump loses his lead in iowa, Bernie Sanders goes for laughs on kimmel and rapper p diddy says voting is a scam. Politics now, first two important iowa polls and we have the numbers for you. Dr. Ben carson leads the republican field with 28 , trump in a distant second. The billionaire real estate mogul turned up the radio with this reaction. Youre ahead in everything except this iowa quinnipiac poll. Why is that the the outlier . Whats going on in iowa . Well, i was very surprised to see it. I was in iowa last night. We had 4,000 people. It was packed. It was great. It was a love fest. It was amazing. And i was actually surprised im not saying a thing like that cant happen, but i was very, very surprised to see it because i think were doing well in iowa. I have a feeling were doing much better in iowa than the polls are showing you want to know the truth. An avid tweeter, Donald Trumps follower in the polls prompted this retweet, ben carson is now leading in iowa, too much monsanto in the corn creates issues in the brain . Within hours he deleted the tweet and said, quote, the young intern who accidentally did a retweet apologizes. Cnn reporter niamalika henderson is with me. Whats behind dr. Carsons rise . People really like dr. Carson in iowa. He hasnt been there much over the last six weeks or so, but he had a ground game really in the summer, i think were starting to see some of the fruits of that labor. Hell be there tomorrow as well. Hes on book tour now. He knows his audience almost more than anybody in this race. Trump does too, but he knows the things that he sometimes say actually resonates with the people in his audience and the people who have liked him. I think weve got him commenting on how hes doing so far in this race speaking from kansas. Im gratified by the fact that so many people are really paying attention to what im saying. Because none of the things im saying are wild crazy things. They are very logical things. And if people really sat down and thought about them rather than allowing themselves to be whipped into a frenzy. In this iowa poll actually ask iowa caucus voters, gop folks what they thought about some of the things he said about guns and nazi germany, about obamacare aliking it to slavery and they pretty much agree with him. They find what he was saying a refreshing. They think its acceptable. So he does know his audience. All right. From dr. Carson to Bernie Sanders, getting some laughs on jimmy kimmel. Heres a clip.

He hasnt approached campaigning sometimes everything is awful with approach to campaigning, but he is this pop culture phenomena. Totally. In some ways its good because its introducing him to a whole new crowd. I think in some ways it isnt all good because in some ways hes become a bit of a caricature of himself. He sounds like larry david in a way you remember tina fey was so able to capture sarah palin and that wasnt always good for her. Thats right. Niamalika henderson, thank you so much. Thank you.
