Coast and impact the northeast or stay a little bit out to sea? can t tell you exactly. my bets are staying out to sea, not impacting areas, at least coastal areas here. maybe across maine say by tuesday or. so that s what we are going to watch next. get ready for big heat down across parts of texas. rachel: thanks, rick. ed: coming up, the president calls her pocahontas, now a liberal newspaper wants elizabeth warren to take a d.n.a. test. howie carr has been calling for this for years. he is here to react to this live next. pete: joy behar apologized to the president in a private phone call. shouldn t she apologize and acknowledge it publicly? we will discuss that coming up. well, it s all right even if the stay around sometimes you got to be strong well, it s all right
