Hurricane patricia now the strongest storm ever measured on the planet and bearing down on the mexico coast where people are being urged to prepare for the worst case scenario. Last year hurricane odile caused billions of dollars in damage and this could be much worse and this storm will also affect the texaslouisiana gulf coastline. Heres what we know. Over 200mileperhour winds. If they makes landfall, and we expect it will, somewhere around the Puerto Vallarta area, right now 245 miles south of Puerto Vallarta and 200mileperhour winds. Moving quickly at north northwest at 12 miles per hour. This will be the first category 5 storm to hit the pacific mexican coast at 205 miles per hour. It makes landfall by friday afternoon. It starts to lose its strength, but that moisture also makes its way into texas, and so we are going to be looking right now at very serious conditions. Flash flood watches already in effect today for much of texas into early next week. Moisture from the gulf and moisture from Hurricane Patricia going to both affect, and weve got hurricane coastal flood watches and warnings from texas rip currents, coastal flooding. Today North Central texas is in the bullseye. Upwards of five inches of rain for waco. Tomorrow more of the same, but it starts to spread into louisiana. Significant flooding from houston, austin and corpus christi, texas, and then as we move into sunday the heavy rain continues. Guys, by the time we get to monday, were could be talking a foot to a foot and a half of rain in parts of texas. Flash flooding is going to be catastrophic. We are going to be watching this all weekend long. Wow. A lot going on in your department. Check back in an minute. To politics and Hillary Clintons testimony on benghazi. The highly anticipated meeting went on longer than expected. 11 hours in all and didnt wrap up until 9 00 last night. Republicans grilled the secretary of state over the attack and was more done to protect diplomats overseas and nbcs Andrea Mitchell watched it all. Andrea, good morning. Reporter good morning, savannah, House Republicans and benghazi all day and well into the night. So far today ive said good morning, good afternoon. You all serving breakfast, congressman. Reporter for 11 hours there was plenty of political theater. I dont care if you sent it by morse code, carrier pigeon, smoke signals. What is relevant is the that he was sending information to the secretary of state state. Ive heard one dismissive thing after another. It was this group. It was that group. I wasnt served by this. I wasnt served by that. What did you do . What do you own . Well, i was just telling you some of the many related issues i was working on to try to help the libyan people making whats your responsibility to benghazi . Thats my question. Reporter four americans died in the attack. State Department Information officer and air force veteran sean smith, cia officers tyrone woods and glen doherty and ambassador Chris Stevens who had sent hundreds of requests for more security in benghazi but none to clinton. Did you ever talk to ambassador stevens when all of this was going on in the hotbed of libya . Well s that a yes or no question, madam secretary, im sorry. Yes or no, please. Yes, i believe i did. We have no record that you had any conversations with the ambassador after you swore him in and before he died, and you were his boss. I was the boss of ambassadors in 270 countries. Reporter clinton was asked why she went home the night of the attack after it was confirmed the four americans had died. The and who else was at your home . Were you alone . I was alone, yes. The whole night . Well, yes, the whole night. Reporter it was clinton who spent the most time talking about the victims of the attack. You know, i would imagine ive thought more about what happened than all of you put together. Ive lost more sleep than all of you put together. Day, clinton was losing her voice. Thanks, congressman. Reporter and while praised for keeping her cool the democrats were out of patience. I dont know what we want out of you. Do we want to badger you over and over until you get tired and get the got cha moment were talking about. Were better than that. Reporter and this was the longest benghazi hearing by far, but the debate over who lost benghazi and the larger question over the policy that toppled kwad if i thats gadhafi thats likely to go on throughout the 2016 campaign. Savannah and carson. Thank you very much. In the race for the republican nomination ben carson has pushed past donald trump in the battleground state of iowa according to one new poll. Nbcs Hallie Jackson has that story. Reporter good morning, carson. The new poll shows ben carson nine points ahead of donald trump in iowa, the second time in as many days weve seen results like this. Its a dominant position for carson. An unconventional candidate who traditional way to try and reach voters, tv ads, and this morning we have an exclusive look at those spots which begin airing today. Ben carson now hoping the timing is right for people to start tuning in. His campaign out with this first ads today seen here for the first time. Of, for and by the people. Reporter one, all about uplift, the other a smackdown. Washington is broken. The Political Class broke it. Together we can drain the swamp. Reporter carson buying half a Million Dollars of ad states in the first four primary states airinging earlier than most candidates hoping to capitalize on most candidates as he beats trumpet in iowa in some new polls. Trump saying in a radio interview saying i was very, very surprised to see it because i think were doing well in iowa. Trumps tempered tone coming after a tirade on twitter. His account retweeting someone implying iowa voters must have issues in the brain for supporting carson. Hours later the billionaires team backtracked by blaming an intern for the retweet saying the young staffer apologizes as his campaign raced to smooth ruffled feathers saying mr. Trump loves the people of iowa. Hes still the frontrunner nationally and still in a kind of political bromance with his main rival. I think hes a nice person. Reporter and while trump and ted cruz have had a warm relationship, too, sign that is that may be cooling as cruz hints he may be getting ready to start drawing distinctions with trump. There are plenty of policy differences and there may well come a time when we start highlighting those more. Reporter for now the spotlight is on the top two, the stage set for a showdown at next weeks debate. Ive been attacked since i got in this thing. Its nothing new. The only question is will there be ten attacks a day or 15 . Reporter so we talked about that trump tweet guys. This is actually the third time that this Campaign Cycle that trump has blamed a staffer or intern for retweeting something controversial, and overnight a trump announcing hes asked the superpacs supporting him to stop doing so and to reimburse the money they have collected from donors this. Looks like an attempt to head off some questions about a Washington Post investigation into one of his superpacs, but its still an unusual move, savannah and carson, and ill be surprised i wouldnt be surprised to hear talk about it tonight at his rally in raleigh. Not often a politician says i dont want the money. Lets turn to nicolle wallace, msnbc analyst and former White House Communications director for president george w. Bush and steve karnaky, msnbc host and political commentator. Good morning, guys. Good morning. I know we were all rapt watching 11 hours of testimony yesterday. This is the climatic moment, nicole, what the republicans on for. She was fairly unflappable in contrast to the last time she testified where she got very angry and said what difference does it make, so bottom line, did the republicans lay a glove on her. Well, listen. I think if you take this all in her entirety and her in august looking at these things on her fall calendar, oh, waiting for joe biden to decide, my first debate next to surging Bernie Sanders and this benghazi hearing and sort of had a call gone take me away moment. The truth is and what republicans need to process now is she has not only survived all of those pretty big tasks, shes proven herself an incredibly tranquil and formidable president ial candidate. A benchmark on her calendar doing well in the first debate, vp out of the race and did she do enough to get this email issue behind her . I think so and the thing we have to keep in mind she walked into this with a slight advantage because of all the comments by several republicans over the last few weeks that really made this look like a political inquisition more than a factfinding venture, so i think in that setting she could go in there and not have one of those moments where she said what difference does it make, and one thing were reminded of yesterday in these settings, adversarial settings, a debate, thing like that, Hillary Clinton is really quite good. Thinking back to the 2008 campaign. She had 25 debates or something against barack obama. I know she lost that race to barack obama, but when you think back to those debates she won just about every one of them. The thing thats always been the problem for her when she has that one moment where she trips up it becomes big and there was no big moment where she tripped up yesterday. Lets pretend this person exists in the world. They are neutral, they have no preconceived political positions. They wanted to go into this hearing and learn something about benghazi and who was to blame. What do we take away from the hearing . Thats the thing. The republicans needed to produce some sort of new information, some sort of new revelation, some sort of new way of looking at this the that with a cast doubt on the role that Hillary Clinton played. I didnt hear that come out yesterday. The one problem though that Hillary Clinton still has i think is while you look at these polls and people say im tired of hearing about the emails, i think she only did this for convenience, if you ask people do you think shes being honest about the emails they still say no so that issue of honesty still lingers for her. Remember theres still an fbi investigation into her email server and the big accomplish accomplishment of trey gowdys Benghazi Committee are they are the ones who discovered she conducted all of her official state Department Business on a home server and the fbi is still investigating and people who like and support her still think she has a squirrely relationship with the truth. We wanted to ask you about ben carson and talk about the republicans for a moment and how hes up in iowa. Yeah. Real contender. You know, most other republicans havent really taken him on. Do you think that changes now . Because hes so darn pleasant. Its pretty hard to attack a guy who is an arc published neonatal or prenatal brain surgeon. Hes a figure who is revered in evangelical circles and home schooling circles. People talk about the republican primary as though its taking place in these two orderly lanes. It is a roller derby and now carson has bounced trump out of number one in iowa, and i cant wait to see how trump responds. Hes been pretty hands off so far. Well see if that trend continues. Nicolle wallace, steve karnaky, good to have you both here, thank you. Ben carson will be chuck todds guest this sunday on meet the press and donald trump, of course, will join us right here on monday for our live town hall meeting with New Hampshire voters to join that conversation.

Good morning to you. At least 42 people have died after a bus full of retirees on a day trip collided with a truck and burst into flames in france. It happened on what one official called a dangerous bend near the renowned wine region of bordeaux. About ten people survived because the bus driver was able to force open a door. The bus victims were members of a social club. The accident is the deadliest bus crash in france in more than three decades. Hillary clinton says it is time to move Forward Together after an 11hour grilling by House Republicans thursday at a hearing on the deadly 2012 attacks in benghazi, libya. Four americans died in that attack, including ambassador Chris Stevens. He had sent hundreds of requests for more security but none to secretary clinton. The did you ever talk to this was going on in the hotbed of libya . Well that is a yes or no question, madam secretary, im sorry. I believe i believe i did. Now clinton heads back to the campaign trail appearing with her husband tomorrow at the iowa. And in the race for the republican president ial nomination, one new poll has ben carson surging ahead of donald trump in the key state of iowa. Carson meantime is out with his first ads today, one declaring that washington is broken and together we can drain the swamp. The Carson Campaign has bought half a Million Dollars in the advertising space in the first four primary states. He still trails trump in national polls.

And donald trump is going to join us monday on today for a live town hall meeting with New Hampshire voters to join the conversation just send your questions using the hashtag trumptoday. A coffee break at a trending National Cafe turned into a close call. You can see the man seated by the window. Hes pointing at something outside and then he and the woman next to him look alarmed and they move back. Thats when you see this bus plowing through the storefront. The driver had reported mechanical problems and got everyone off the bus which then rolled backward on its own. Fortunately nobody on the bus or inside the cafe was injured. Thats some good news there. Guys. Thank goodness they were paying attention. Natalie, thank you. Now to a noticeable change happening in classrooms all around the country. Nbcs joe fryer takes a look at a trend that has students taking a stand. Reporter the oldfashioned school desk is getting a new makeover with models that shift between sitting and standing. When you start to kind of like space out in class and you can stand up and you refocus. When i get into school i like to stand up, but after recess i like to sit down and rest my legs. Normal for fifth through eighth graders at Alexandria Country day school in virginia. The research is very clear that standing is far healthier than sitting, and we wanted to do something bold. Across the country standing desks are popping up in schools, businesses and even the white house is reportedly requesting money for them. My reaction is this is the future. I mean what, youre seeing on your screen is the future. Reporter researchers james levine says getting students to move around more during the school day helps not just their bodies but their brains with test scores jumping 10 to 15 . The data consistently demonstrate that when children are allowed to move during their school day they learn better. Better yet, show me. Reporter at this Elementary School in northern california, nearly every classroom now has standing desks. Standing more helps me not be so jittery. Reporter these one dozen not transform into a sitting pougs but students dont seem to mind. Do you ever get sick of standing . No, not that much. Reporter the key is mixing it up. When they are tired kids are encouraged to take a seat or swing their legs on a part of the desk capped the fidget bar. Why do you think they seem to work so well . Number one is the kids are standing up straight. They have great posture. Number two, it seems to be giving them more energy and better focus. Reporter parent julia starr had helped the school raise money for the desks and now hopes to put them in every Public School through her nonprofit standup kids. She says flipping an Elementary School costs about 150,000. If these desks are going to last 15 or 20 years, that is single fixed cost but a longterm investment in kids health. Reporter a way to help students take a stand. For today, joe fryer, nbc news, san rafael, california. Thats a great idea. I love when you add to the today show budget installation of fidget bars underneath. Ive got a standing desk in my office and you walked at a standing radio board. Radio, stand up and do it. Better for your health and brain and kids showed in improved test scores. In my brief lawyer life i had the a standing desk. And coming up, were bringing back the friday fishbowl. And plus the music video from adele we have been waiting for more than three years to see, and we will show it to you. And, of course, one of musics new stars is here. Carrie underwood will be live on the plaza, looking forward to to the car that just survived hours of reconditioning. Sorry, we know that was a bit. Invasive. But, if we didnt hoist you up in the air and poke around a little, we wouldnt be carmax. We expect a lot from our cars and we need to make sure that youll make the grade. You have to admit, youre looking awfully nice. Oh just relax. Its gonna be a long time before anybody peeks at your undercarriage again. Feel a cold sore coming on . Only abreva can heal it in as few as two and a half days when used at the first sign. It penetrates deep and starts to work immediately to block the virus and protect healthy cells. Dont tough it out, knock it out, fast. Next up at the plate. Chobani flip. Greek yogurt with a flip of tasty goodies on the side. Its the break, you make to love this life is to live it. Naturally. I love you. Love you too. One minute. Hi. Hi dad. We need to do this, yes. You be good. Letting go. Dont say a word. Its a little easier when youve saved for college, were back at 8 10. People try to be on your best behavior. Carrie underwood is joining us. Yeah. This will be good warmup for your show in a little bit. Thanks for being here. We already did sing a song. Weve done everything for the crowd. The crowds great. Very mice. Warming up the crowd. We have a huge debatable topic this morning. Okay. When you are on an airline, do you recline your seat . Thats the issue. Got a lot of attention this week because did you hear about the two passengers who got into a fight about it . One tried to recline the seat and they got into a fight so they had to make an Emergency Landing which is insane and now a debate over whether its right or wrong to recline. Most of us say you can recline. Thats right. With a caveat. Of course you can. The other side feels very strongly that it is not right. One yahoo commenter wrote the seats are just too close together to allow a person to recline recline. It really imposes on the passenger behind and another passenger who is 61 its rude to ram your seat into someone elses niece which is inevitably what happened. But if you both recline then you get the same space. Look behind. Go slowly, and give them a little look to say im pushing back. What say you, Carrie Underwood . I dont i dont want people behind me to not like me so i do only just lean back a little bit though i would like to recline a little more. Have you seen those things that you can actually put and buy . Causing big problems. Yeah. Knee guards. Its not unethical to recline, because first of all the button is there and if everyone does it then you how you do it. The person has their tray down and they are eating dont just slam your seat back, do it cautiously. You can even glance through the seat. Yeah. And the seat space is so small now that you have to make up for that. Otherwise youre like right there in the passenger front. Everybody has to lean back. Lean back. Lean back. Does your drink say about you . Bartenders are telling us they are spilling all their thoughts about this topic on the social news site reddit. What do they think if you say make it a strong one . They think youre cheap and annoying. Bar tenders who say that dont know what they are talking about. Oh, okay. I always say dont be shy. Dont be shy. Im like fill her up. Fill her up. Heavy hand. And what if you order a madori sour. Ive never had that. What is a madori sour. Its green. Prepare to be carded because bartenders see that as a dead giveaway that youre underway. Like peach schnopps. Beer and wine. Yeah. Beer and wine. Thats safe. Manhattan, if you order a manhattan the bartender thinks you want to get drunk real quick. My grandma used to always get a manhattan. A sophisticated oldschool drink. Yag mister. Like an oldfashioned, tom collins. I can be kind of like oh, do you have like a velvety chardonnay or whatever . They think youre snobby. Who are you . I like the gin and tonic, i just discovered that this summer. Just discovered it. Its magic. Do you like the light beef or ipa or crafty. Just beer. Its like a summery kind of thing, out at the lake, at a sporting event, have you a beer. Im with you. Guys, welcome to the friday fishbowl. Theres one problem. No fishbowl. There we go. Kind of hoping they would never find it. We pass it around and you take a question around and answer as fast as you can and try to do it as fast as we can. Would you rather, would you rather go back in time and meet your ancestors and jump in the future and meet your great, great great grandchildren. Would you rather know when youre going to die or how youre going to die. My gosh. My word. When or how. Id rather know how. I think thats right. Carrie. Would you rather have no internet or no cell phone. I would say no cell phone because you can still like send messages. Good. Bingo. Would you feel worse if no one showed up to your wedding or if no one showed up to your funeral. Id go with wedding because im dead, who cares. Really. Its not like im going to sit up and say where is everybody . Would you rather be a rock star or a movie star . A country star. Thank you. Mine is sort of in line, would you rather be fitch or famous. Rich. You can buy fame. Exactly. Do we keep going. One more. One more round. Give carrie one more. Would you rather have only 80s the clothes that you wear or 80s the one for more carrie. Would you rather see the be the other gender or a kid answer . Oh, a kid again. Thats a good question. I like those. Except for the death question. You made the right call. You wouldnt know anyway. Youre dead. Exactly. Where is everybody . Lets do pop star. Carson has the scoop on two of the biggest names in the business. Lets get to it. First to adell and what we have all been waiting for and thats new music. Open your eyes this morning, adell released the first music video from her upcoming album 25, the sound is called hello it is haunt i thinkly beautiful. Take a look.

It is day three of wrangler on the road. Our puppy with a purpose has been making new friends in washington, d. C. And dallas along the way. He is joined chanel jones in philadelphia. Chanel, good morning. Hi, wrangler. Good morning to you, cars be. Were calling this the city of puppy love this morning. Take a look at this crowd behind me. We have people we have people who have traveled all the way from baltimore and we all have one thing in common, we adore wrangler. He has had such a great trip here in philadelphia. In fact, take a look. It was up in the air again as wrangler made his way back east. More lessons to be learned at the airport. Welcome, wrangler. Not everything or everyone is carry on size. Wrangler, do you want to meet some new friends . Once he landed our puppy with a purpose met with visually impaired veterans at the va center in philadelphia. People he could be helping one day, convincing one man to take an important step forward. I have talked to somebody from guiding eyes before and since then i have just been thinking about it, but now that ive actually seen wrangler, i would take him home right now. After a busy week of planes, trains and automobiles, new friends and new experiences, he couldnt come to the city of brotherly love without doing one thing. Every dog has their learning curves and for wrangler stairs were definitely a challenge, but he has been working really hard and has made a lot of progress. Challenge accepted. Come on, buddy. And conquered. He did it. Wasnt that adorable . We love wrangler. Can i tell you a lot of people have been asking me is wrangler tired . How is he holding up . He has done a fantastic job and has a wonderful temperament. I have to say, savannah, he is asking about you, hes ready to come home, although we love him here in philadelphia. Send him home. Enough of this road stuff. Thank you so much. Its time. Its time. Great. Thanks, chanel. And thanks to you. Come home, wrangler. The pope and now our famous puppy. Wrangler you can go to guiding and thats your late weather. Carson. Now to todays american story with bob dotson. Hes searched the country for stories people didnt know about and on this day we asked bob to share his story. Reporter shortest distance between two people is a good story. Whats the most unusual thing youve sold . Christmas trees in february. Im not kidding. Reporter once you know someones story you see what you have in common. They tell me you speak two languages. Yes. Reporter you begin to understand each other. My grandfather paul bailey told me that when i was 1 years old. We were rocking on the front porch after dinner. He used to be in conversations like this. Did i ever tell you about my honeymoon . Well, no, but even at 8 i was interested. We found my oldest brother, missing for 20 years, and then he pulled a postcard from his pocket written to his mother from that long ago honeymoon. Ma, we found vance. More later. People often ask why i became a storyteller. All my life ive been trying to tell a tale as well as my grandfather. The first time i did a story on the today show i called my grandmother to say what dub think about it . There was a long pause at the end of the line. Finally she said, bobby, i think you ought to learn a trade, a trade . Yeah, they are not going to keep paying you for four minutes work a day. Well, grandma, they have. From red hair to gray. I have spent a lifetime crisscrossing this country listening to your stories. If you could create the perfect candy for him, what would it be . Probably a heart. I watched the forest disappear and disappear, and i realized that this is it. Nobody else is going to do anything about it so ill try to do something. Reporter wisdom doesnt always wear a suit. My dad taught me that. Bill dotson had a fifth grade education, but he went 23 years to night school. He became an optician, opened his own company the year his youngest son contracted polio. A doctor urged my parents not to give up hope. 30 years later they saw me sitting on the big toe of the statue of liberty. Hi climbed to the top for a story on the today show. Bob dotson, nbc news, at statue of liberty. All of my life i have tried to face each day with the same spirit that pulled our ancestors to these shores, the willingness to explore new places and opportunities. It is part of our geography of hope. How do i know . Favorite. Reporter happily my wife linda supports this purr suit she has sacrificed much, but were still together. We just celebrated our 43rd anniversary. Our only daughter amy now has two curious little storytellers of her own. Zoe and aidan who once asked the probing question to a woman from turkey, whats turkey like . Is it a lot like chicken . Bit like writing on smoke. After a brief mention, the men and women i profile drifted away. The lessons they left us though linger. This is the last best place, it truly is, and it doesnt have any choice but to survive. Reporter now its time to teach the next generation how to find those people. So this will be my last american story for the today show. People always ask what was your favorite . The next one. Wow. The and can we raise our glass to bob dotson. You are such a class act. The best storyteller in the business, always said. Happy anniversary too. Well, yes. Yes. When i started at nbc, i was given a really good piece of advice. Read bob dotsons book and i did and try to be like him, and i think we all look up to you so much, bob, and were just so profoundly grateful for everything that youve brought to this show. Here, here. You brought the stories that you introduced us to that weve never known. So much better for it. If you keep this up, im going to have to have two glasses. Take a look at that monitor, i have to say some of your fans are outside on our plaza and people who have loved you over the years and want to give you a fond farewell and theres another familiar face here. Do we have mrs. Dotson. There she is. And we thank her as well because we know that these jobs take you away from family a lot, and youve given so much to us, and shes been generous to share you with us all these years. You bet.

Our hearts just kind of hit the floor at that point, and we got the news. Her right ventricle wasnt big enough to do all the work of the right side. Its a journey. Its a difficult journey and a lot of circumstances. Reporter in the fall of 2014, Primrose Galloway underwent two open heart surgeries in her first three days of life. In the midst of her daughters hospital state Brent Galloway was surprised to sea his favorite nfl player for a checkup.

My house must be hawaii. Oh, you know, lets goat some Serious Business here. Had to be one of the most incredible critical event that played out before our eyes in many, many years. People are likening it in some bases to the watergate investigation, the depth of it, nevertheless what, it was it a total of 11 hours . 11 hours. Ten until 9 00. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton taking some very tough questions from republicans. Quite combative, not between madam secretary clinton but between the republicans and democrats on that panel. Of course, this is the investigation into what happened in benghazi which cost four americans their lives, including ambassador stevens, Chris Stevens there, so there were many moments and one in particular that got a lot of buzz this day after representative susan brooks, republican from indiana grilling Hillary Clinton on her communication with ambassador stevens. Take a listen. Did you ever talk to this was going on in the hotbed of libya . Well that is a yes or no question, madam secretary, yes or no, please. Yes, i believe i did. We have no record that you had any conversations with the ambassador after you swore him in and before he died and you were his boss. I was the boss of ambassadors in 270 countries. Now when you look at the quote, unquote reviews this day after, it really seemed that people did not move one way or the other. If your position was critical of the former secretary of state, thats where people remain and if you were a supporter, thats where you remain, but what was incredible as a viewer, as a journalist, i kept leaving my television and going back and i thought is this a replay . Is this still going on . See that live bug on msnbc, and it was it was really riveting, i dont mean to diminish it by theater, but, you know, to watch this, which was good. Our kids watched it during dinner and this is our government in action. What was fascinating, too, was most of the confrontation, as you said, was not between Hillary Clinton and the committee. Yeah. Its between committee members, democrats defending Hillary Clinton, shouting with republicans back and forth as she kind of almost watched like a tennis match. The theater that you were referring to. Thats not a negative description of it. Thats what we watched play out. And being i actually was working in a radio station, public station during the watergate hearings. Oh, yeah. And hour after hour, day after day of listening to this, and you and it was really one of those moments where you thought this is this is the this is the essence of american politics and government at work, and we got to see it again today. I happen to believe unlike some people that this was a legitimate hearing because we never had her emails before. Thats why they went back in on this. Without the committee we never would have known about the private server and give her an opportunity to explain it and the questions that arose. The hearing was legitimate but i dont think it turned out way republicans wanted it to. Idea of ben carson now has surge the past donald trump in a new Des Moines Register bloomberg poll. The pundits explain this and this is a fluid game even though theres been 100 days of trump at top of the poll, by all accounts it was predict that had someone would leapfrog him, whether it would be ben carson i think is a surprise because when you look at talk about ying and yang, lowkey ben carson, very measured in the way he speaks and then theres donald trump who is holding his first rally in florida today. Yeah. That is the showman of all showmen. And does he start to take on ben carson now which is going to be interesting pause hes such a temperate measured calm guy.
