Harry is live in new orleans. Harry, good morning. Yeah. Erica, can you believe that it is five years already . In one sense it seemed like it went by in a blink of an eye. We spent the last two days down here sort of retracing our steps. All the way from gulfport, mississippi, through the coast of the mississippi coastline, through some of the hardest hit neighborhoods here and in new orlea orleans. The levee system where the corps of engineers spent more than 14 billion. We have a lot of angles of this story to cover. We are going to start with it here in just a couple of minutes. But if you want to know about the katrina and nola, this is the place to do it. We are glad you are there for thus morning. Thanks. We are also following this morning so much talk about Hurricane Katrina five years ago. There
The president obamas trying to destroy the gop. Trying to shove them into the dust pan of history. Heres a hint. President obama doesnt need to do that. Republicans are doing it just fine all by themselves. For all their bluster about change, gop leaders insist on no overall at all is needed. One gop official everyone says we dont need a new pair of shoes, we just need to shine our shoes. Shine their shoes . Thats not goods enough. Republicans need to try walking in someone elses shoes for a change. Because for all of their talk about out reach to women, the rnc just approved a resolution. Calling on congress to defunct planned parenthood with no objections. And while support for womens rights to choose is at an alltime high. Heres what Speaker Boehner says is his fundamental goal. With all the mistakes, its becoming more and more important for us to share the truth with our young people and encourage them to lock arms, speak out for life and help make abortion a relic of the past. Let
Over over over over over over over now [ cheers and applause ] jimmy zz ward. Her album is called til the casket drops. I want to thank michael c. Hall, miranda cosgrove. And i want to apologize to matt damon, we ran out of time. Well try to schedule. Nightline is next. Thanks for watching good night. Tonight on nightline. Seaworld and a documentary. It casts seaworld as a bad guy but tonight the marine park claims it is inaccurate and misleading. Underwear billionaire. From katy perry to beyonce, spanx are a slimming secret weapon worn by millions of women, now a few men. Im wearing spanx. A modern take on the girdle built this woman a billion dollar empire. Trayvon martin could have been me. A permanent reflection on being black in america. President obama compares himself to Trayvon Martin and claims racism in this country wont go away simply. Keep it right here, america. Nightline is back in just 60 seconds. From new york city, this is nightline with bill weir. Thanks for being wit
Unlikely to find such a candidate. But unless they do, theyre stuck in second place, nationally. They cant beat Hillary Clinton, thats for sure. Not with the rogue elements theyve got joining their huddle. Not with the candidate that only reads the words well enough to get the nomination. But not well enough, did you notice to be picked as a president . Thats hardball. Thanks for being with us. Politics nation with al sharpton starts right now. Thanks, chris. And thanks to you for tuning in. Tonights lead, for repeats sake. Did you hear the big news . The gop wants a republican renewal. Get to the route of their grand problem. So lets see what theyre offering. Whats the take from their hero, paul ryan . I decided to not comment between the election and the inauguration. All of the statements and all of the comments needed me to believe that hes thinking more of a political conquest than a political compromise. Pity party. Table for one, please. The gop is stuck on this one. The preside
I just got off the phone with somebody who was part of that meeting. There were about 30 people there. These were leaders in the conservative movement both on the social conservative side and the fiscally conservative side.

A lot of toing and froing about how they get down to the votes. Probably several ballot votes through all of these delegates. Its going to be a lot of political chess in trying to figure out how to stop
