first, herschel walker, starting with what is true. in his college, he accomplished what most can only dream of, he s a three-time player of the year with a national championship and heisman trophy to his name. he played pro ball for some of the best teams in the league, competed in the 1992 winter olympics and the last administration, co-chaired the president s council on physical fitness and sports. all of that in short to say that he s plenty to be proud of. among those accomplishments, though, is not a degree from the university of georgia, because he never graduated. he s claimed he was a high school valedictorian. he wasn t. and he suggested he was an fbi agent. i spent time at quantico at the fbi training school. y all know i was an agent? he wasn t. he did claim he was joking. this year, when his comments were reported, his campaign did not tell the newspaper that he was joking. in any case, claiming nonexistent ties to law enforcement is a familiar refrain of his

water starting to come up. they are expecting a nine-foot tide here around noon. flood stage in this area is around seven feet. the roads right now look pretty good, very little rain, very little wind at the moment but they re expecting all of that to change. the big concern here is that tide and the storm surge. those two things together. the storm surge and that landfall for ian is meant to come around the same time as that tide. depending upon where it hits, that could really push a lot more water into charleston, charleston county. charleston is now at its highest level of alert. they are warning anyone at lower levels to watch what is going on, seek higher ground if necessary. they are already starting to shut down roads in charleston itself. so they are prepared for whatever ian has. it s just not clear how big a punch it s going to take here in south carolina. back to you. all you can do now is wait. mig ed marquez in charlton, we ll come back to you shortly. let go
