Lets get right he latest on the historic flooding in the northeast. I want Tgo Livto our reporteron the ground. Miguel marquez is in new brunswk, New Jersey. Paula newton is in mlica, New Jersey. And Te Muntean is in philadelphia. Miguellet me begin with you because at least 23 people, were learning in nejeey, have now died from thastorm that passed through. Fldwers are still Ghear Ere you. Are they ever going recede . Reporter they are, and they are receding now. Theres an alarm going off over here. Actually look over this way. Theyre inging a truck in, probably to start moving out some of that debris as the Wat The Tide is going out here o the Rareton River in new brunswick and the water is going with it. When we got here several hours ago, the water was up over Ts Wall im standing on now. Its recedrobably 10, maybe , 12 inches downhis wall. So by morning, most of this water, if not all of it, will be gone but there is going to be aot of debris left over, and thats why you have that vehicle there starting to move the Debris F the roadway and try to start cleaning this out so they can get back to something approximating noal within a day or two. But, you know, crews are still out looking. Emergency crews are still out oking for individuals that are missing. Thes a Rge Number of ople reported missing. Whether or not ty are okay or s just the confusion of the moment, that were still waiting for. Laur we hope theyre okay. And, pla, at leastight confirmed tornadoes touched down last night with one of Them Destroyi or daging more th Twdozen Hos Ju Wheou are. Are pele still without power . Whats It Ke right now . We saw some t, i guess, receding waters in progress where miguel is. Whats it like for you . Reporter yea here ere is a little bit of power, but you were so on point when you said so many families arent Spending E Thomas Family behind me, theyre not here. They took two little girls, pregnant mother, father all in the basement. Had just three mines before that Fnel Cloud ripped right through this neighborhood. And you were tking about the tragic deaths. Just in the state of newersey now, up to 23. And most of those fr the floodwaters. I heard again and again in this nehborhood today, we are so lucky to be alive,nd we know that i want you to listen to mike castle, Whagain Id coming out of the shower, hand his entire family just h to ra to t basement. Listen. I was up in the shower,nd we got the tornado alert warning. It wasnt Threminutes Ter that all of my back windows exploded, and then it sounds like a Freight Train went through my living room. We waited a few minutes, went upstairs and ran outside. Fortunately neighbors were helping. It sti Fee Surre to. The other thing mi said s, this is New Jersey. This is not oklahoma. This is not tornado alley. They are not used to this here, and theyre wondering if this is going to be a Rerring Theme in their lives. And they told me, you know, its still early days, early hours even. They know how lucky they are because there was not a loss of life here. On t other hand, theyre ndering how much resilnce do they really haven them to build here again. Theyve not seen anying li this, and yet theye wondering can it happen again. And thats why theres just a lot of anxiety in this neighborhoodere tonight, wondering exactly what else can possibly happen. They we prepared for the water here, laura. They were. But they were not prepared for this. I mean just the ting, three nutes, paula. Reporter three minutes. Let me go down to philadelphia because, pete, more than 100 people needed to be rescued from the floods. And part of thcity and were looking at it. Pa of thE City is still underwater. What are officials doingo t those people out Repter T big push no laura, is getting ople moving again here iphilelphia. 30 highways closedn this region according to penndot. Maybe the most dramatic scene is whats behind me. This is the vine street expressw, or it was. It would typically be fied with cars. Now its just filled with water. Maybe e worst Part Heris T watewas real not reding all of that much. S May gone wn a fby my estate in the lt six hours. I ju got off T Phone with Bradudolph Openndo he says a Fih Water Pump has been brought ito get the water out of here and into the Schuylkill River Talk about the schuylkill river. That crest about 17 feet early this morning, and the national Weather Service anticipates it toot get back below Flood Stage Unl sometime after midnight, ich is why the Flood Emgepersis here unti 7 00 tomorrow morning. A lot of work ahead when it comes to t cleanup, though. Just the vine street expressway, Penndotells Me after all the water goes awa they will have to clear a lot of debris out and en inspect the roadbed to make sure that it is okay to drive on. The worst part is we already lost one Rush Hour to this flooding today. It really snled a lot of traffic in the philadelphia region. Now it seems like it will snarl another Rush Hour tomorrow, laura. Iean its surreal youre talking about phadelphia, and im seeing theseloodwaters. Yorealkingbout feein terms of the water csting. Its unbievable. Lets go back miguel because, miguel, new York City and New Jersey, th were blindsided by the amount of rain. It orwhelmed subways, overwhmed the roads. I mean 714 Subway Riders were scued. Werseeing images right now of water rushing down the steps of the subway. And w the new York Fire department resed more than 500 people from the ros. I mean do have a sense of why reporter wl, i think everyoneas blisided. I mean y had wther Professionals Fromhe top levelsf the government to News Mea likes Who Watched this Storm Om Louisiana across the eryone knew Itas Goi to f a ve big rain event.

Jusdumped massive amounts waternto tHe Entire stem, A Systemhat was alrey chard, that alreadhad to ofain and tons of water falling in theays before. Then you had tornadoes on top of that. Here in New Jersey, for instce, they had the Tornado Warnings at the same time they had flooding. So people were gng into their basements and in some cases having to deal with water in the basements as theyre trying get away from a rnado. So it was just the intensity, thrapidity, and just the amount of water in the Stem Laura . The same time. Ruly nowhere trn. Miguel, paula, pete, Tha You so mh.

Icallybut our entire there was no way to predict Th Impact it would have in our areas. We oiously made all of the preparations necessary by cleaning out our stormrains, making sure that we had barricades in thapopriate places. But as our governor, pl murphy, stated, we had loss of life throughout our state. Our hearts go out ll those Who Haveost loved ones, and wasntven a result of Stng Winds or tornado. It was a direct result of water, which unfortunately i think individuals, when they hr floods, they may be overly confident in their vehicles. Theyrstill driving, a ats w we were so adamant in our city and we declared a State Emergency and wanted people off of the roads becau tragedies like this occur. But i want to share that we have two individuals tt we connue to have two individuals unaccounted for. We also nd this should be part of the story. We had 200 rescues with E City ofassaic alone because othe Roic Eorts of our paramedics that went aund thE City rescuing individuals in their vehicles and tragedies could have been a lot worse. Our prayers continue for those who have lost their lives, and we are goi to Coin T Efforts in our cities, seahing the passaic river. We have ounation guard, our ate helicopters using sonar ov theiver, and tomorrow our Dive Wl continue the efforts to tryo locate were hoping against home with te that we find these two individualsaybe in another municipalit in a hospital, but might turn into a recovery operation. Mayor lora, just to hear that is overwhelming, to think of what has transpired and watching the images as youre speaking. Talking about the confidence that some people m have in their rs, You Guys Ao experienced a tragic loss of a 70yearold Fath Who W stuck in hisar with his wife and son. What hapned . Well, this was ovwhelmily impactful to our Eire Community and traumatic even for our firefighters, who are accustomed to dealing with these kind of situations. Thisather was in a vehicle withis wife and his 25yearold son, and they ended up in an area in our city at often floods. We ended up in this Area Wit over 12 feet of water on the ros. Firefighters were able to rescue the wife and the son, and founately the water ovtook the vehicle. Firefighters were being dragged under the vehicle. They were unable to continue their effort and unfortunately, like you stated, we lost a father to a family, a member of our community here in and as a community, we mrn together, anwe send our Prers Outo the families. But were consisnt telling individuals and we want people to understand that when th see the repos, when theyre hearg the directives, stay off the roads, dont drive through barricades. Dont thk that youre going to be okay in your car. Its better to be safe tn obviously deal with a tragedy. T all of the infrastructure, all of the resources that we could have had in Place Uld not have prepareus for the kind of storm that we experienced. Keep saying these rare storms, but theyre Tually Becomi not so raretorms, these Flash Floodsn our area. Mayor lora, a vy important point. D to correct one thing, the Nations Grieving with you. The stories that youvshared and the ongoing operations, the heroism, everything about it is breaking our collective hearts. But we are holding out hope for there to be many more stories of Joy And Rescue in whats happening ther im so sorry. Thank you. Thank you noto the gulf coast, where ida first slammed into the u. S.

Well, what texas has done to roe v. Wade is a very big deal. Texas now has the mosT Restrictive Abortion Law in tHe Entire country since that landmark decision. A precedent now virtually erased by the supreme Courts Decision just last night. And not only are abortions after just six weeks now illegal in the state and by the way, thats before most women even know that theyre pregnant. Texas has also deputized private citizens across the country to now sue anyone who aids and abets an abortion for at least 10,000 and attorneys fees. Now, lawmakers purposely left vague what it means to be aid and abet, so conceivably, it could include anyone from the Patients Uber Driver to the School Counselor she confined in, to the parent who pays for it, to the receptionist that schedules the appointment. Anyone is fair game. Now, the hypocrisy of it all has me scratching my head in light of the republican governors views on, say, mask mandates. Its hard to reconcile why the government has absolutely no business whatsoever dictating your private Health Decisions when it comes to covid19, and who cares if a child without the choice to be vaccinated might be harmed . After all, in that case, your body, your choice, right . Well, the issue of your body, your choice was front and center at the White House today. Why does the President Support Abortion when his own Catholic Faith teaches abortion is morally wrong . He believes that its a womans right. Its a womans body, and its her choice. Who does he believe then should look out for the unborn child . He believes its up to a woman to make those decisions and up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor. I know youve never faced those choices nor have you ever been pregnant. But for women out there who have faced those choices, this is an krublly difficult thing. The president believes that right should be respected. Under the cover of darkness, five Supreme Court justices felt that they were the ones that had no choice, no choice but to let texas enact the law despite the fact that the groups suing to block it raised serious questions regarding its constitutionality. Because the Supreme Court said in the majority the case raised some complex and some very novel aspects. Now, remind me which Supreme Court cases havent been novel or complex in some way . I thought thats why they paid you the proverbial big bucks, to resolve the complexity, or maybe just to follow your own simple rule. Supreme Court Precedent Cant be overturned willynilly. That standard something that Senator Susan collins pointed to when supporting her vote to put Justice Kavanaugh on the bench. I do not believe that Brett Kavanaugh will overturn precedents are overturned he says for a precedent, a long established precedent like roe to be overturned, it would have to have been grievously wrong and deeply inconsistent. Well, Justice Kavanaugh was part of the majority that didnt fight to honor that precedent. Senator Susan Collins calls the Texas Law extreme and harmful, and in a statement says that she opposes the Courts Decision to allow the law to remain in effect for now while these underlying constitutional and procedural questions are litigated. The key words here, for now. For now, it is indeed the law in texas and could quickly become the law in many other states. But lets hope the decisions of the lone Star State do not become our judicial north star. Congressman Jamie Raskin is here. Whats he think democrats priorities should be when all this is going on . Ill ask him right after this. Finish quantum, Nh You save up to 20 gallons of water each time. Finish quantum with Activblu Technology has the power to remove the toughest stains without prerinsing for dishes so clean they shine. Join finish and skip the rinse to save our water. President biden slamming the Supreme Court for allowing texas new Abortion Law to take effect. Hes calling it an unprecedented assault, but is there anything he can actually do about it . Here to discuss, democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin of maryland. Hes a member of the House Judiciary Committee and the select committee on the January 6th insurrection. Congressman, thank you for being here tonight. Its great to hear from you in particular with your insight. And i wanted to learn from you because a ban after six weeks, theres no exception for rape or incest. Its effectively a backdoorway to Skirt Roe v. Wade. And since when do the Supreme Court pass on a case because it has some complex or novel aspects to it . Well, there are procedural and substantive irregularities to say the least about this. This comes out of the courts socalled shadow docket. It was not the regular doctket, and Justice Alito was on the watch and clearly wanted to let it go through. The three liberals and Justice Roberts dissented from it. Whats going on is outrageous because its clear that the Texas State Law is in direct collision with roe v. Wade and planned parenthood v. Casey. Roe v. Wade, you remember, had the trimester framework. But the Casey Decision said the stace could only ban abortion after the point of viability outside the body of the mother. But texas now draws the line at the detection of a fetal heartbeat, which is six weeks and something like 80 to 85 of the abortions have taken place after that. So this effectively nullifies and ban of abortion including in cases of Rape And Incest of the woman whos impregnated. So this is a fullblown assault on a womans right to choose and on the Supreme Courts jurisprudence. What we could do in congress, if we could deal with the mountain of the filibuster in the senate, is to essentially constitutionalize the roe v. Wade we could turn into statute the constitutional standard of roe v. Wade, the trimester framework, or else planned parenthood v. Casey. But it looks like theres a setup going on here for the Supreme Court to essentially wipe out both of those decisions and then to let the states do whatever they want. And i think thats obviously what the gop has been fighting for, and i think with the addition of amy coney barrett, they basically have put into place their antichoice majority and at the same time, of course, weve got this fullblown offensive going on against the Voting Rights of the people across the country. So its no coincidence theyre attacking Democracy And Voting rights at the same time that theyre attacking Privacy Rights in the reproductive freedom of women. And overall the Rule Of Law because you cant even redress your grievances or petition the court. What does a representative Democracy Mean . What is the judicial branch for if you cannot even appeal to it if you are a litigant with a problem . That just runs counter to what we think of as a democracy. A lot of things have been running counter here in the u. S. I want to turn to your work on the January 6th select committee. Cnn is learning that the house Minority Leader, kevin mccarthy, is one of the republican lawmakers whose phone records youre trying to get, and he makes his threat to the Telecommunications Companies pretty clear here. Its pretty transparent. What will you be looking for with the information youre seeking . Well, the Minority Leader has essentially threatened people who have relevant evidence about massive crimes that took place against congress and against the federal government. And by doing that, he, himself, is arguably putting himself at risk of criminal prosecution because hes interfering with a congressional investigation. That is a federal crime in the united states to interfere with a congressional investigation by trying to obstruct it. So i dont know for the life of me why any member of congress would not want congress to get all of the evidence available about this massive crime against democracy where more than 140 Capital Officers and metropolitan Police Department officers were pummeled and beaten over the head with Baseball Bats and Hockey Sticks and Confederate Battle Flags and had Bear Mace sprayed in their face and suffered all kinds of terrible wounds, and many of them are still in the hospital. Many of them are still being treated. How could any patriotic member of congress try to block an investigation into an attack on the congress and an attack on the union . It makes no sense to me. And also theres a continued promotion of misinformation and the big lie. You actually caught the Freedom Caucus Chair andy bigs pushing misinformation toearlier today. Lets take a listen. The fbi recently put out a report saying apparently that they didnt find collusion or a big insurrection, an organized insurrection. I assume the congressman knows hes mistaken about that unless theres an Fbi Report im not aware of. Im referring to the report thats been widely discussed and thats been out there, including what report is that . What date was that released by the fbi . I have not seen that actual report yet. I mean you called him out, but the misinformation is still rampant. I mean how do you stop it when even sitting members of congress are pushing the blatant lies and are not able to provide the receipts that they are professing they have . Well, Congressman Biggs was either wittingly or unwittingly passing on disinformation and propaganda. The fbi has released no such report. The fbi has not said that there was no insurrection. The fbi has not said any of the things that he claimed in any kind of report. On the contrary, the Fbi Director testified that this was domestic terrorism. Another thing that the republicans were taking exception to today. But thats just one example of how this kind of Misinformation And Disinformation is spread throughout the rightwing propaganda ecosystem. Congressman raskin, thank you for your time. I appreciate it.
