the mcconnell center at the university of louisville. she told this to the ground. my goal today is to convince you this court is not comprised of a bunch of partisan hacks. now, where would anybody get an idea like that? never mind. the polls show that the majority of americans oppose overturning roe versus wade. opponents of roe have become the dogs who caught the car except in this case, they have no idea how to drive it. more like dogs playing poker at this point. if roe is struck down or gutted, other states will likely outlaw abortion. does anybody have a plan for how to enforce that? what can democrats say at this point? life's a mitch, i guess? but the harsh reality is that democrats have been outmaneuvered by mitch mcconnell. now democrats may be staring at the chess board wondering what to do. what about the filibuster? the same one that is preventing all kinds of legislation from passing in the senate from abortion rights to protecting america's elections to gun laws. just this week, another american high school was terrorized by a mass shooter. this time

this is what we are seeing all morning on this property that's just off of old louisville road. it's incredible damage. the owners have really been taking it well, saying they're just glad that no one was injured, and that they will recuperate from this as best as possible. >> thank you so much for that look. >>> we're also monitoring another location in the blue grass state, our cnn affiliate wfie reports on the destruction in bremen, kentucky. take a look. >> this right here, it's just every home, every tree. every tree is snapped, every power line is down. there's cars flipped over. look at this van right here. just thrown into this ditch. look at this home right here. it's not even there anymore. that's just the foundation and a couple walls. we passed a house earlier if you could still see the childrens' clothes hanging in the closet. it's just absolutely devastating. even trooper mcpherson says he's never seen anything like this in his life. it's heartbreaking. just look at that. we saw two churches that had major damage to them, some of the walls down, roof caved in. but

as you mentioned we just came from one in louisville, the homes reduced to rubble, we're seeing charged out vehicles, trees, and then small hot spots scattered about. it really is quite apocalyptic looking and the sun is still not even up yet. you will expect we will get to understand the gravity of the damage even more so once the sunrises here. because of the hazardous material and continued recovery missions that is why we are on the move. police had us move out of that particularly damaged louisville neighborhood, that's why i'm joining us on the phone. at 1600 acres the marshall fire is actually a relatively small fire, but it is absolutely devastating. we are not in a sparsely-populated region, remember, we are less than an hour outside of denver. we are in suburbia. so when flames come through here, specifically wind-powered flames, they are wiping out entire subdivisions, shopping complexes, obliterated, as you mentioned, roughly nearly 600 homes incinerated in boulder county here. the state's most destructive fire in terms of homes damaged ever recorded. and why we're seeing su
