these brothers and sisters, aged 2 to 8, dead, family members say they were ripped from their parents arms. witnesses say the waters were so powerful that in just seconds they swept away homes that had been standing for generations. cnn just obtained new video from one flood victim who says his family is trapped and cannot get out of that neighborhood. the whole road is blocked off. survivors are pleading for some help after losing every tangible thing. it is unbelievable. i took a chance to go up in the hollers. there s no internet or power. in a lot of places they say we won t have water for months. people are bringing stuff in, but as fast as they bring it in, it goes out. we need help more than anything. i don t care if it s a pair of fruit of the looms. babies need diapers, formula. we need everything that s possible to get here. cnn s evan mcmorris is there. are the rescues still happening right now? reporter: yes, victor, they are. i will say in perry county
that s right. and it is incredibly difficult. but you remember i was part of a white house where the health care act was given up for dead six times before we finally passed it and it is not dissimilar. so i think that the way the white house prioritizes, the way progressives and moderns prioritize is by listening to joe manchin s words. i want to push back a little on what you said to senator bennett that senator manchin was clear on where he was. he wasn t. he wasn t clear on what he was for but just what he was against. he is very clear that he supports universal pre-k and the efforts to lower broad cross section of prescription drugs. he is clear that he is on board with proposals to tax billionaires and some corporations for social services and for some climate change elements. and he is specifically indicating interest in tax credits for electric vehicle purchase and for some child care tax credits. that is a place to start with
