Today has found republicans often end a sentence with a preposition while democrats often end a sentence with a forced, awkward laugh. Ha ha ha. This mornings eye opener is presented by toyota. Lets go places. Welcome to cbs this morning. Ben carson is lighting up the gun control debate with controversial comments on mass shootings. The gop president ial candidate says he would sacrifice his life if he were facetoface with a gunman. He said he would rather see a body with bullet holes than gun control. Carson claimed he would want his childs Kindergarten Teacher to be armed. His reaction to last weeks shooting at an Oregon College sets him apart from his republican rivals. Julianna goldman has more. Reporter less than a week after the shooting, president ial candidates have been addressing gun control and Mental Health issues. But ben carsons latest comments defending the right to bear arms may be the most controversial. I would ask everybody to attack the gunman. Because he can only shoot one of us at a time. That way we wont all be dead. The accusation is that youre tone deaf and seem callous. No, im laughing at them. Who . The question asking that question. Of course, you know, if everybody attacks that gunman, hes not going to be able to kill everybody. But if you sit there and let him shoot you one by one, youre all going to be dead. When asked if he was judging the victims, carson said he was looking at the big picture. Im not judging them at all. But these incidents continue to occur. I doubt that this will be the last one. Reporter he also appeared on abcs the view where he reiterated Kindergarten Teachers should be armed with guns in the classroom. Youre obviously not going to have weapons sitting on the teachers desk. Where would it be . Secured where the teacher could get to it. How fast could the students get to the locked draw to get the gun . I want that teacher trained in diversiona arary tactics and whatever needs to be done. Reporter carson stated that even his experience as a doctor removing bullets from victims has reinforced his belief in the Second Amendment. He wrote, there is no doubt that senseless violence is breathtaking, but i never saw a body with bullet holes that was more devastating than taking the right to arm ourselves away. Other republican candidates staunchly oppose stricter gun laws. We dont have a gun problem. We have a problem with sin and evil. This is an evil thing, when people kill another person. And it happens way too often. Stuff happens. Theres always a crisis. And the impulse is always to do something. Reporter in iowa, democratic candidate Hillary Clinton mocked jeb bushs remark. This is not stuff happens. We let it happen. And we have to act. Reporter president obama is going to oregon to console victims families later this week. Some protests are expected. And carson was asked if he would do the same as the president. Gayle, he responded, probably not, and suggested it would be politicizing the tragedy. Julianna, thank you. Dr. Ben carson will join us in studio 57 in our next hour. Well ask him how hes responding to the uproar over those remarks on the mass shootings. Thats ahead. A new poll contains positive news for ben carson in three swing states. Numbers from Quinnipiac University show hes in strong second place behind front return donald trump in pennsylvania, florida, and ohio, among republican voters. Democrat Hillary Clinton is maintaining her lead in those same states among democratic voters. In National Polls she has lost ground to bernie sanders. On the late show last night, president clinton explained the surge to stephen colbert. A lot of people all over the world are hacked off that they think the system is rigged against them and the rich get all the gains. This morning, a new report says Hillary Clinton hired a data system in 2013 that may have automatically kept copies of clintons deleted emails in cloud storage. Silence the Associated Press reports authorities working with the fbi stopped another attempt by russianlinked smugglers to sell Radioactive Material to terror groups. Its the fourth try in Eastern Europe in five years to sell materials needed for a dirty bomb. The latest case was in february when someone tried to sell it to a buyer allegedly from isis. Our Margaret Brennan reports president obama and Vice President biden will talk with secretary of state john kerry about which steps the u. S. Will take next. Were hearing this morning that russia carried out another wave of air strikes in syria. Syrian activists say areas near the russian heartland were struck. Holly williams has more from istanbul. Reporter good morning. Syrian regime troops launched a ground assault today backed by intense russian air strikes and targeting Syrian Opposition forces. Russian air strikes have pounded syria for a week. Russia joined the syrian conflict, saying it would target isis. But many of the locations moscow said its hit are not in areas controlled by isis militants. With war planes and helicopter gun ships, the u. S. Says what moscow is really doing is propping up the Syrian Regime by attacking its opponents, including some groups linked to al qaeda, but also moderate rebels who are supported by america. A Syrian Monitoring Group says russian air strikes are killing dozens of civilians. But as if to refute that claim, russia released this drone video which it says shows the Russian Military carefully tracking but not targeting isis vehicles as they park beside a mosque. Russian media also broadcast this video with a commander showing what he claimed were two accurate hits on isis ammunition depots. Meanwhile, neighboring turkey, which is a nato member and a key u. S. Ally, says russian war planes have twice violated its airspace. Nato chief Jens Stoltenberg called on russia to avoid escalating tensions. This is exactly what we were afraid of, that incidents, accidents, may create dangerous situations. Reporter with russia seeming to reassert itself as a superpower, its behavior is angering the u. S. And its allies. Holly williams in istanbul, thank you so much. This morning Doctors Without Borders is demanding an independent investigation into a u. S. Led air strike on a hospital in afghanistan. General campbell on tuesday described the attack as a mistake. We would never intentionally target a protected medical facility. 22 people died and dozens were hurt in saturdays attack. Doctors without borders calls the bombing a war crime. Recovery efforts are beginning this morning in parts of the south ravaged by historic flooding. The rain has stopped there but there is extensive damage in South Carolina. More dams are on the verge of collapsing. David begnaud is in columbia where more evacuations may be required. David, good morning. Reporter good morning. Weve just confirmed with officials here in the come colu South Carolina area. Beaver dam is reportedly stable after tons of rock were dumped there. About 72 hours ago, the Arcadia Lakes dam here collapsed. The bridge collapsed and the dam failed. The water went rushing downriver. It was dangerous, then turned deadly. Video from this drone shows the damage to some of concluSouth Carolinas dams, following the unprecedented storm. 11 dams have failed. More are in jeopardy. In richland county, where there was concern that beaver dam would be the latest to fail, people were told tuesday they may need to evaluate. We have people on the ground assessing it literally as we go. Oh, my gosh. Reporter we were with angela cole and her partner craig as they entered their home together for the First Time Since sundays flooding. Oh, my god. This is sick. Reporter most everything they have is soaked in mud. Oh, my god. This is just reporter as the water rose in their home, the family climbed to their attic. They called 911, but two hours passed and no help. Cole posted a plea on facebook, if anyone has boat, please help, i have two children, one with special needs, she wrote. Did you think that you and your family were going to die . Oh, yeah. I did. Reporter you honestly did . Honestly. When i saw the water coming up, yes. And finally he just banged a hole through the side of the house wall in the attic and we started screaming for help. Reporter these three men heard the familys pleas and rushed to their aid. I think they thought they were done for. If we wouldnt have been there 20 more minutes, i dont think they would have had much time left. Reporter this picture shows them clutching one of the family dogs while being rescued from the downpour. I cant imagine how helpless that must have felt as a father. You feel like you failed them. You didnt. You knocked that hole out. And were here. And were alive. And thats all that matters. Reporter that is one grateful family, which is safe in a hotel room right now. The good news is the sun is out. No rain is expected. But the water is still rising in some places. And theres a story developing right now. Early this morning were told that a driver went around a set of barricades and the vehicle was washed away. Three people were rescued but were told that two people are missing. And the search for them is ongoing. David, thanks. This morning federal investigators are searching for answers in the sinking of the cargo ship el faro. 33 people were on board. Overnight family members and friends of the missing crew members gathered in maine for vigil ills. At least four of the 33 crew members are from the state. The coast guard continues to look for survivors. So far its covered more than 200 square miles in the bermuda triangle. Our Mark Strassmann is in florida. Good morning. Reporter good morning. Investigators will now look for the ships voyage data recorder to tell them how el faro was operating when it ran into Hurricane Joaquin. That device transmits its location for 30 days until its battery runs dead. At this point there is no sign of the signal. Six days into the search, the coast guard is becoming increasingly pessimistic about finding survivors. Carla newkirks father, 22yearold larry davis, is one of the 33 missing. He has been el faros lookout but has spent the last 20 years working on the water as a merchant marine. Thats his second home. Reporter last thursday, el faros crew sent out a distress signal. The ship had lost power and propulsion and the eye of Hurricane Joaquin was bearing down. Were you worried . No. I wasnt worried. Ive heard the stories of him, you know, being in storms out there on the ocean. But, you know, hes always come home. This is the story that i need for him to tell me now. Reporter critics, including some families of the missing crew, have questioned captain michael davidsons decision to continue the ships route into a storm growing stronger. Those ships certainly have the fuel range cable pable of g around to minimize weather issues. You dont go through a hurricane like that and survive. Reporter but carla kinclinin clings to hope. I know that if god would give a miracle to my family and my father, hes still out there. Reporter the u. S. Coast guard could decide as soon as today whether to stop the search for survivors. Theyve scheduled a meeting with families to tell them their thinking. Mark, thanks. New yorks attorney general is looking into whether employees at draftkings and fanduel have an unfair advantag. Fanduel says its companies band employees from playing daily fantasy games for money and set up an independent review of its practices. Cbs newss legal expert, rikki klieman, is here. Good morning. Good morning. You say this is a smart move by the attorney general . Really smart. And he got there first. Youre hearing noise from representatives and senators all the way up to harry reid that they want to investigate, and the fcc. Eric schneiderman is smart. What happened in fantasy football is this. Originally it was a yearlong game. That didnt seem so harmful. It was exempt from the 2006 unlawful internet gambling enforcement contact, because it was looked at as skill, not as simply chance. But now, whats happened in fantasy football is you can make a lot of money, because its daily, and its weekly. So if youre an employee on one of these sites, and you bet on the other site, and just happyo happen to have a good weekend, that smacks of i mpropriety. We dont like the idea that an employee of one of these sites might have inside information that they can use to their advantage on another site. Why is there no regulation . There was regulation simply because it was exempt. So the industry says, okay, well regulate ourselves. Well, we know what happens when that occurs. So what everyone else is saying now is like, no, no, no, you cant police yourself, were going to police you. So its not going to be anymore that someone who appears to have knowledge can be able to bet on the other sites. I mean, what were they thinking . None of these people should have been able to bet. Whats going to happen now . I think that the danger is fines. The danger is ultimately big time regulation. And if it goes further, the danger could really be indictments. Rikki klieman, thank you very much. Ahead, how sin city is trying to reinvent itself to attract a new generation of gamblers.

You know, i tried warfarin, but the blood testing and dietary restrictions. Dont get me started on that. I didnt have to. We started on xarelto®. Nice pass. Safety first. Like all blood thinners, dont stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. While taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. Xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. Xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. If you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. Do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. Tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. Before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. You know xarelto® is the 1 prescribed blood thinner in its class. Thats a big win. It is for me. With xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring and no known dietary restrictions. Treatment with xarelto®. Was the right move for us. Ask your doctor about xarelto®.

The bay bridge commute metering lights are on. Traffic is backed up into the macarthur maze. Once youre on the bridge, expect sluggish traffic in pockets now all the way across the span into san francisco. Its also been very slow going for the san mateo bridge. All of this is because of earlier problems. At the dumbarton bridge flowing better so take west 84 as the alternate. San mateo bridge is backed up to the 880 interchange. Richmond san rafael bridge, westbound traffic crowded approaching the toll plaza and slow traffic stays with you all the way across the span. Roberta. I swiped your golden gate Traffic Camera shot, liza, because i wanted to show all the clouds next to the coast and seeping into the bay. Its overcast. We have temperatures in the 50s and 60s but hey, we have clear skies in livermore, also in concord. We have spots of sunshine out towards mount vaca. Todays temperatures from 70 with the clearing of the skies in pacifica to 80 around the peninsula, 80s inland. Warmer today than yesterday. Good morning to our viewers in the west. It is wednesday, october 7th, 2015, and welcome back to cbs this ahead including dr. Ben carson in studio 57. The president defends his controversial comments on mass shootings. President ial com pointens have been addressing the issues and ben carsons comments have been the most controversial. They stopped another attempt by smugglers. Syrian troops launched a ground assault today by intense russian air strikes and targeting Syrian Opposition forces. This is the Arcadia Lakes dam. The bridge collapsed. The dam failed and the water went rushing downriver, and it was dangerous and then turned deadly. Investigators will look for the ships voyage data recorder before the battery runs dead, but there has been no sign. Someone who appears have have knowledge could be able to bet on the other side. I mean, what were they thinking . None of these people should have been able to bet. This feels much more like video games than gambling. Yes, it does, doesnt it . Im fighting for my life over here.

More dams are on the verge of breaking in South Carolina this morning after historic flooding. The storms have killed at least 17 people. Crews say they have now stabilized the beaver dam in wildwood and there were fears this morning that it would break at any time. David begno is in columbia South Carolina with one dam that has collapsed. Reporter since we last saw you at 00, weve come across the river to give you a different perspecti perspective. This is the Arcadia Lakes dam, and as we pull out you can see where the road collapsed and the bridge fell into the water and the dam failed. When that happened the water rushed downriver. It was devastating, flooding homes and communities and prompting rooftop rescues. There are numerous stories like that around the community of colombia the capital here in South Carolina. Smaller dams have already failed. National guard troops are securing a report you ared canal wall that is threatening the water supply, just 375,000 people here in columbia. Despite the lingering dangers, people are slowly, slowly starting to go back to their homes at least to look at what the damage is and it is expensive, we are told. More than 250 roads and bridges remain closed statewide which is making it tough for people to even get back home. All right, heres the deal for today, theyre expecting sunshine, but the threat for the remainder of the week will be the potential for dam failure. We have just confirmed that earlier this morning near conjugee road, a truck was washed away and three people rescued and we have confirmed two people are missing. Oh, my goodness. A reminder not to go around those barricades. They are there for a reason. David, thank you so much for your reporting all this week. This morning one of the leading republican president ial candidates dr. Ben carson is facing controversy over comments he made about the Oregon School shooting. I would not just stand there and let them shoot me. I would say hey, guys, everybody attack him. He may shoot me, but he cant get us all. Take action. Exactly. A new quinnipiac poll shows carson in second place with donald trump, in three states, pennsylvania, florida, ohio and pennsylvania. What people can do to reclaim the con strushl activities. We are pleased to welcome dr. Carson to studio 57. Good to have you here. Thank you. What did you mean when you said i would not just stand there . I want to plant in peoples minds what to do in a situation like this because unfortunately, this is not going to be the last time this happened. Do you believe the victims in oregon just stood there . From the indications that i got they did not rush the shooter. The shooter can only shoot one person at a time. He cannot shoot a whole group of people, and so the idea is overwhelm him so that not everybody gets killed. Do you know who chris mintz is . No. Chris mintz is an army veteran and he was shot seven times. He did actually rush the shooter and hes being hailed as a hero and he saved peoples lives so someone in that instance did actually act heroically. Therein lies what im saying. Thats exactly what should be done and the likelihood of him being able to kill many people diminishes. You are being accused of being sensitive to the victims people are saying you dont know what to do if god forbid you are in that situation. How do you respond to that . We live in a culture now where people think we need to set up battle lines and get on this side of it or that side of it rather than collectively decide how to solve the problem. Its sort of an immature attitude, but it seems took rampant in america today. The question is what do we do about this . The president says it has become routine. Right. How does a nation come to grips with this fact that its a combination of whos doing it, access to weapons and the opportunity . Well, in medicine we have a tendency to make decisions based on evidence not on ideology. So lets say this were a disease, what we would be saying is lets take each one of these shooters and lets go back and lets study their lives, and lets see if we can see some commonalities here. Are there some Early Warning signals for people like this so that we can begin to identify them and intervene before the tragedy occurs, not only for those people who were shot, but for the shooter themselves. How would you do that, number one, and secondly, once you begin to see a pattern, how do you make sure that that pattern will help you lead to the next potential assailant . I think we have to, for instance, empower the psychiatrists, the psychologists. In a number of these cases these people have been working with Mental Health professionals, but nothing was done about it, and we have to be able to move to the next step not just recognizing that theyre mentally ill, but being able to take the appropriate interventional steps. Should there be new laws to make it harder for people who have Mental Illness to perfect guns. For people who have been declared dangerous individuals by a Mental Health professional, absolutely we should be looking for a mechanism to keep dangerous weapons out of their hands. Now we need to study all of the possibilities and we cannot do anything that compromises the Second Amendment, but as long as we keep in mind we dont want to compromise the second amend am, but we also want to keep dangerous weapons out of the hands of dangerous people. That makes imminent sense. They were talking about muskets and ak47s and the highpowered rifles we have today. You write that the ban on militarystyle assault weapons was a good and youve now written that youve changed your mind. What changed your mind . You will also see that i talked about the fact that they recognize that things would change, that we would become a more modern society and we would face different principles and different situations, but we have to recognize that it was the principles that were important. So what were the principles of the Second Amendment and those principles were we wanted to make sure that the people had the ability to assist the military in case of an invasion and that the people also had the ability to protect themselves from overly aggressive, federal government, that was a very important part of the reason for it. Now, obviously, if we say well, were talking about muskets so, yeah, you could have a musket, but as we advance in terms of our weaponry, you cant have any of those things. That violates the principle. Michael bloomberg is also very close to the university where you work, johns hopkins. Proud graduate. He has become a very, very strong advocate for gun control. What is it that he doesnt understand that you understand . Well, i think we ought to get him to answer that question. Let me get with you first and then ill what i understand quite vividl is what Daniel Webster said. Daniel webster said america will never suffer under tyranny because the people are armed. Thats what i understand. So i dont want to see tyranny occur here. You know adams also said that there may come a time when we do not have good people at the helm of our country. We cant always assume that its going to be that case. Youve criticized president obama who is going to oregon on friday to meet with some of the victims families. Is there you said its becoming a political issue. Can you change this conversation without politicizing it . First of all, lets set the record straight. What i was asked if i were president , would i go and i said no, not in it was going to open wounds and inflict, you know, a lot of controversy, i would not. I said i would have probably lots of other things on my other schedule that i could do. The other thing this is important, i dont think i would have the pushback if i were president because i wouldnt be picking and choosing which groups i sympathize with. I mean, i would have talked to Kate Steinles family who was killed by an illegal alien. Yes. And you have to be compassionate to everybody. You dont pick and choose who youll be compassionate to. So if in fact, you as president , could play a role and express the nations grief in going to oregon you would be pleased to do that and you would object to a president whose effort is to console the grief of a nation and the families who have been suffering. I wouldnt object to such an objection. Dr. Ben carson. His book a more Perfect Union is on sale right now. Getting 50 more at the Grocery Store may be no bargain at all.

Irresistible moments deserve irresistibles treats. New from meow mix with real salmon chicken or tuna. The only treat cats ask for by name. This morning, we are talking about packages. You may be paying more for less. The november issue of Consumer Reports looks at that empty feeling. The magazine investigates how some companies are downsizing products but not their packaging. This is the question they ask do you ever felt duplicated when opening a bag of chips or a bottle of pills . Only to see a lot less products than you expected . tod marks is joining us at the table. He felt like raraisinettes and e out the box and get this much of raisins. Outrage i made a career of outrage all the time. Remember when ice cream came in half gallon containers . Yes. When juice came in half gallon cartons . We all know these things and its driving people crazy. You reached out to companies . Oh, yeah. Absolutely. What did they say . We say what gives . We get a lot of reader mail about these things and people are furious like you say. Companies tell us when they have an explanation at all we do what you do and call the 1800number on the package itself and we say i never called that number. I do it all the time. At best you get a free coupon how it works is that they should be counting their blessings . Yeah. The rising costs of transportation. Ingredients like peanuts and Peanut Butter and transportation and distribution cost and labor. So they justify it . They do. They say their customers tell them that in order to for on them to maintain their budget, they would rather pay the same than get basically raise the price. But what we are really doing is semantics. Its a shell game. What youre doing is inadvertently raising the price by basically giving people less for their money, but here is the hook. People know prices but they dont know sizes. Remember when oreos came in a onepound container . No. Well, they did. Not only that, they are over 60 varieties and package sizes and more than a dozen classic oreos none of this which is a pound. People dont know what is the regular size. What does it say on the label about the weight of the product inside . That is the holy grail, the truth. You use the unit price label at the Grocery Store and gives you the cost per ounce. Ignore the packaging. You know is in the packaging can be really big. Its not always trickery. Because sometimes, like, potato chips. Think about that. You open up the bag and talk about it hardly anything in there who is reading the net weight . I look at it. I look at the unit per pricing all the time and tell my kids. I say, this is how you tell if its a good value or not whether to buy this product or not. Okay, norah why . It tells you which brand is cheaper and not all package sizes. Not all package sizes are shrunk at the same time. I need to shop with norah odonnell. Ill tell you how to get a bargain at the store. My mom taught me how to penny pinch from the very beginning and get a bargain. Norah frugal. The new issue of Consumer Reports is on sale right now.

Youre hear to talk about new labour party leader. I saw him sitting next to ben carson and knowing him, i thought, my god, alastaire is advising ben carson . I said no. I said we disagreed on gun control. What you said was youre wrong . Yes. Yes, you did. He said, nice to meet you too, sir. In your book winners you say a lot of similarities between the winners. You talked to Floyd Mayweather and the squeen and others. What did you see in the similarities of these individuals . They are all individuals but you boil it down cher strategic and they work really hard and they are resilient. I think resilient is underestimated as a real quality and they have an absolute fascination with what they do. You said they care more about winning than wealth, many of them. I dont know about Floyd Mayweather. I think he loves his wealth but mr. Branson you mentioned. Saying he never went into businesses thinking about money. He goes into it seeing an opportunity to kind of do something good. I think the other thing that draws a lot of them together is they care more about not losing than they do about winning. They are driven by fear, as much as by a desire to succeed. What do you mean when you say strategic . I mean, the ability to work out, where you get to and then what i call the big how.

The reason that this Lance Armstrong said the most extraordinary thing when i first interviewed him before he was finally exposed. What he said to me, losing and dying, its the same thing. Wow. I thought, wow that guy is a winner. I should have thought, if i had my old journalistic hat back on, he would do lk anything. I still want to see him in a positive like but i think, in a way, he lied too much, he is very, very hard for lance to rebuild his reputation. You talk a lot about Vladimir Putin you said is a strategic leader but a bad man in many, many ways. He is complicated. Look what he is doing in the middle east. Or ukraine. Putins objective and strategy are totally aligned. They are all about the reasse reassertion of russian power. We can say he is a bad man and clearly doing bad things which he is clearly doing. You asked all of the questions in your interview, charlie, but all of the difficult stuff, he just laughed it off. The gangsterism, the krucorrupt and lying. He laughed it off because he has such control. If you see power as being about trying to do the things that you want to do, you cannot dismiss him just as being about man. You have to work out what he is trying to do. Its great to have you here. Yeah. Thank you. I was wondering what you were doing with your life. Youre writing books.

You are so musically talented and i think its part of the message youre delivering in your music and i think you get a lot of attention because you took on the socalled bro country. Explain that. Well, it was probably we have been, you know, writing together for five years now. And i think there was about three months of writing or, you know, walking into a writing room and being, like, man, i heard this song on the radio and cant believe this guy is sing willing to this woman this way. If somebody asked me to slide my sugar shaker all over, i would smack their face. So disrespectful. I listen to Country Music and my husband says, what . Really . Red, red, red. It was way too repetitive for us. We havent really heard a female perspective in a while so it was important for us we wrote a song, even if it did not get released. When we wrote it we didnt know the success that was coming with it. We wanted to write a song and vent our feelings and it happened our fans believed in what we were saying. Its more than venting because you talk about love. You talk about loss. You talk about bullying. She clear got some issues, maddie. Im wondering if she heard the song. Thats a real person. Its a real person. She did hear the song. And she was the girl that was a beautiful pageant girl in school but she wore her heart on a necklace. Yeah. So i dont know. She just was the one that made everyone, you know, feel so small about themselves. Definitely, i think, the biggest message with that song is no never allow someone to define yourself for you because i did do that and i did fall for that trap. And in order to heal from that situation and to kind of cope with that situation, we had to write a song about it. I wonder what she is thinking now . She probably still doesnt like me very much. We were the only ones that stood up to her. Youre right. How long have you guys been working together . Five years. We met when we were 15. This december will be five years.

And we were like what are we wearing for our red carpet one day . Your vocal coach put you together. You live where and you where . Im from sugar land, texas. Oklahoma . Vocal coach put you together . Its kind of weird. It was a vocal coach but he was host ago showcase where students could go and do a cover and an original song, whatever you wanted to do. So we both happened to be there on the same night and really hit it off. Kind of as friends after, you know, the performances. And then started talking music and we were both, like, total music nerds. You hit it off. Yeah. Youve been together five years but just taken off the last year. I want to talk about that last year. Because now here you are performing at the grand ole opry. The people that you looked at as little girls know now your name. What is that like . You mentioned the grand ole opry and so foiunny. The first time we went there was to see steven skill and we love and hope to collaborate with him some day and we actually met him last night. He knows our name and so cool to be associate even with our own legends. Yes. I think is there a really special moment that happened last week. We were in bakersfield, california. We do a meet and greet where fans come through and we get to meet maybe 40 of them before the show. There was this girl maybe about 11 or 12 in tears. Youre young too i love it. She was young.
