♪ ♪ >> not getting involved. that is the word coming today from the michigan supreme court. what this legal move now means for donald trump and the 2024 election. and as thousands of migrants trek toward the united states, the u.s. secretary of state is making a trip south of the border. what the white house is hoping to accomplish with today's meetings in mexico. and one of the stars of the oscar-winning film "parasite" is found dead. the questions now about a police drug investigation and the actor's allegations that he was being plblackmailed.

i'm kate bolduan with sara sidner. john berman is on night shift. this "cnn news central." >> new word out of the highest court in michigan. donald trump's name will remain on the 2024 primary ballot in michigan. the state supreme court just this morning rejecting an effort to get him taken off. this decision is a setback for the challengers who for months have argued in legal cases that trump should be disqualified over his actions on january 6th. now cases across several states are still playing out. it was just eight days ago. you'll remember that the colorado supreme court handed down a very different ruling and decision. the historic decision that donald trump should be disqualified and removed from the ballot. cnn's kaitlan polantz has more for us and talk us through what the michigan supreme court is saying today. >> a critical state, a critical decision, and this is all heading into this primary season. this is what it's about today.

michigan supreme court saying they're not getting involved. it's not up to them who is on the primary ballot in michigan whenever that primary election comes around. there were people that had gone to the courts in michigan to challenge donald trump's ability to appear on that primary ballot, and the courts throughout michigan the lower courts, the middle courts and the supreme court now in michigan say it's now up for us to decide. one of the justices in michigan did wright that this state, michigan and their state laws and how they govern their primary election is very different from how colorado governs their election. the colorado supreme court just last week is the state and is the court that decided trump could not appear on their primary ballot because of the 14th amendment of the constitution, the insurrectionist ban, saying he should qualify as an insurrectionist and thus should not be able to qualify as a presidential candidate including in the primaries there. in michigan, what the court

wrote today is we are not persuaded that the questions presented should be reviewed by this court, but we did just get a statement from one of the attorneys involved in challenging donald trump's candidacy in michigan saying that they are going to continue to try even though this court is saying no, we're not going to deal with this in michigan for the primary that at a later stage the people challenging trump in michigan will very likely go back to the courts and try again. every state is different. there are several states where trump is going to be remaining on the ballot even though people have gone to the courts to try to take him off of the ballot in the primaries and potentially in the engeneral election. that is one of the reasons why the supreme court may want to get involved because every state is handling this with different ways, with different laws and different outcomes in court. >> we are seeing that play ought no real time. good to see you, kaitlan, thank you. joining us to discuss is the

former communications director jamal harris and chermichael singleton and thank you for coming on on this christmas week. look at you both just working so hard. check is in the mail. >> thank you, sara. >> take off the glasses. >> just relax. it's fine. i want to talk to you firstly about the cases coming up for donald trump that will clearly bang into where we are with this campaign and what this means and he's been very clear on saying that every time that he wins something in a court, he hasn't won them all, clearly. he puts that as another notch on his belt, if you will. what do you think going forward is going to happen with all of these cases that are questioning whether or not the president can be on these ballots? is this going to head to the supreme court, do you think, and what that might mean for voters? >> i absolutely think it will head to the supreme court and i think the supreme court will have a final say. i think there's a legitimate

argument that some who support the former president has made as it pertains to section 3 of the 14th amendment that while it lists a significant number of office holders, it does not explicitly name or state the president and one of the original drafts, it actually did. they removed it in the finality ragsz. there are folks who disagree with that and it is certainly an argument worth entertaining from a legal perspective. politically, i don't think many judges similar to the supreme court in michigan that you just discussed in the previous segment want to remove voters' ability to choose and select a candidate of their choice. courts are very weary of sort of intervening in political processes, and i think the supreme court will ultimately see it that way. >> yeah. it's an interesting points. okay. now i want to talk about, jamal, the tweet or -- not a tweet, it's a truth social -- whatever, social media, that donald trump put out showing the sound -- the

word cloud, a thousand people likely voters told "the daily mail" that these are some of the things that come to mind when they think of describing donald trump and in there you see words like economy and then you see power, revenge, dictator. when you see those words, what does that tell you about where people's minds are and if this is going to have any effect on the general voting population. >> kristen anderson has a great piece in "the new york times" whether this will be an election about order and security, and i think if that's the case donald trump is trying to make the argument that basically he's a strong man, right? that he can be the one who can re-establish order in the american economy. the problem is that donald trump is the vessel of disorder and the vessel of chaos. we know he's the one who brought all of the way back to the pandemic when he was talking about injecting bleach in our skins to solve the problem, he's

just not a serious person to solve the problems and calling people names, echoing hitler and talking about vermin. these are all things not for republican voters who are interested in donald trump the strong man, but for election voters watching this and seeing this i don't think the biden campaign will let them forget that he talked about revenge and echo hitler in the primaries as a way to get stability in the general election. >> right now the polls are looking very good for donald trump when it comes to the nomination and we'll have to see what happens with the election. shermichael, let me ask you about obama care. donald trump pouncing on obama care, it was never replaced. they never figured out a health care plan. there was nothing ever passed. is this a good line of attack? >> sara, we tried, republicans tried. john mccain came in with the last bit of energy he had before

he passed away and gave a thumbs down. i think we need to move on from this, most americans including republicans actually like forms of obama care. is it perfect? no. i would certainly like to see a proposal to increase competition to thus lower costs. that could be a compelling proposal for a certain sector of americans, but to repeal it altogether, i don't think voters necessarily want that and to replace it with what? i haven't really seen anything that would galvanize enough americans to put the support behind members of congress actually voting for said replacement. so i would advise the former president to focus on issues such as the economy and immigration and some of the foreign issues that the country's facing right now. this is something that registers very high for the average vote are. >> i wanted to ask you, jamal, speaking of immigration. you have this huge influx of migrants and republicans agree on that. the biden administration sending some of the top lieutenants into

mexico today to have conversations. what does this conversation need to look like? because biden is getting hit pretty hard on the issue of immigration. >> boy, this is such a challenge because americans of good will and good faith all over the country are trying to figure out what do we do, clearly, about an influx of people coming across the border and many of whom may want be from the americas and we do have a security challenge. so there are a couple of things and there will have to be technological things and the technology at the border and probably need more border judges and the biden administration has asked for that, more immigration ju judges so they can process the claims coming through faster. what the vice president is dealing with the root causes of immigration from kind of the northern and central american countries and trying to keep people who really don't want to leave their families and don't want to leave their places they

know as familiar and how do we deal with crime and the economic issues that happen down there? this is not an easy thing to fix and the thing is donald trump is running with the sloganeering campaign. if you're joe biden you're trying to govern and figure out the problem. if you're donald trump you're trying to secure political points. >> when it comes to immigration, whoever is in office things go south and this is a problem that's been going on for decades and decades and decades. jamal simmons, and shermichael, thank you for coming on this week. maybe there is a bonus for you. >> i hope so. i'm waiting, sara. >> i'm going down to the cookie bar. >> do not hold your breath for that bonus, guys. just a warning. coming up next as sara mentioned, pressure is mounting and numbers are surging at the southern border. secretary of state tony blinken and other top administration officials are on their way to mexico right now to try and find

some help from mexico's president. plus one of the stars of the oscar-winning film "parasite" was just found dead in his car and the new questions surrounding his death and the police investigations he was facing and from a breakthrough advancement in sickle cell treatment to the exploding popularity of weight loss drugs like ozempic. we are counting down the top health stories of the past year.

u.s. officials will arrive in mexico as president biden faces mounting pressure to stem the unprecedented flow of migrants coming to the southern border. secretary of state antony blinken, he is seen there in that dark morning hours leaving d.c. a few hours ago. he will be leading the talks today for the white house. right now 11,000 migrants are waiting on the mexican side of the border to get into the united states. the mayor of eagle pass, texas, told cnn last night that something has to be done now. >> our city here in eagle pass, we've been getting slammed with 2,000 to 3,000 people a day and

it's just an unfair, unethical situation what's going on here in eagle pass. we feel ignored by the federal government. >> cnn's priscilla alvarez is joining us now. you heard those words, we feel ignored and you hear that from democrats and republicans who are leaders up and down the border. what is the white house hoping to achieve as their top officials are going to mexico? >> there's no doubt, sara, that this has been an incredibly complicated issue for the white house to navigate as they get heat from both sides. now they are going to mexico to try to get help from mexico to drive down these border numbers and the urgency is clear by who is going. secretary of state antony blinken and homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas will meet with the mexican president as well as some members of his cabinet. officials tell me they're coming with requests and those include, for example, moving migrants who are at mexico's northern border

south to decongest that area, controlling the railways which are often used by migrants to get to the u.s. southern border and providing incentives like visas for migrants to remain in mexico and not to continue up to the u.s. southern border. this was an extension of the call that took place between the president and the mexican president where they both agreed that additional enforcement is needed and sara, i am learning moments ago from a homeland security official that yesterday there were 6,000 encounters on the u.s.-mexico border. compare that to a few years ago when there were over 10,000, so there has been a drop here, but officials are talking that up in part to the holiday, but they're still bracing for what can come in the coming days and so these steps that the u.s. is taking is trying to provide relief to the border towns that have grown restless and are overwhelmed and to underscore how challenging this has been, the year started with president biden meeting in mexico, meeting with his mexican counterpart to tackle migration and record movements of people

in the western hemisphere. they're now bookending the year doing the exact same thing, trying to find some solution for the months to come. >> priscilla, you've been reporting on the breaking stories and thank you so much for all of your work and we'll be checking back in with you once antony blinken gets to mexico. thank you. >> joining us to talk about this is democratic congressman from new mexico vasquez. he represents the third largest border district. thank you for coming in. we know top biden administration officials are on their way to mexico to try to drive down the numbers and the numbers do say a lot right now. we heard some of those from priscilla alvarez. here are other numbers we're looking at. the seven-day average in november of encounters at the southern border were 6800. the seven-day average in december was 9600+. how big of oa problem is this current surge, in your view?

>> thank you, kate. thanks for having me on. you're right. i do represent 180 miles of the u.s.-mexico border of the task force, and i'm dealt with all different challenges here on the border as a city counselor i was the first elected official to offer public financing for the rehoming of asylum seekers about four years ago, but this is something that we haven't seen before. i think the administration is making the right decision by using its diplomatic ability to work with the mexican government because what we are seeing is an influx at the border that right now for non-profit organizations and our churches and other humanitarian efforts that are taking place outside of the scope of the federal government that those folks are truly overwhelmed and we are a compassionate state along the u.s.-mexico border, but we do need some help. we need to make sure that these long journeys that women and children in particular are taking are journeys that we in the united states are putting forth policy and proposals that

do those people no harm because we've seen that in these long treks to the u.s.-mexico border. >> you've been outspoken of the white house for being open to stricter border policies as part of the ongoing funding negotiations. why? what is biden getting wrong? >> well, look, i can just tell you from my district and the second congressional district in new mexico, in my own experience with the family of immigrants who work very hard to come to this country that we have to honor who we are as a country. the values that we represent are incredibly important to all americans as they are to people along the border and so we have to have first and foremost a humanitarian response to what's happening at the border. so many of the things that are happening today and we can work out diplomatically to our neighbors to the south and this is a good first step of the administration and the white house can be doing more to consult with caucus members such as myself and others in leadership including in the

senate, as well to help bring forth solutions to the table that are actually meaningful and long lasting and also these negotiations with senate republicans have to include things that republicans have supported in the past like the deferred action for childhood arrivals program. this is an opportunity to move forward on immigration approximatpolicy and the white house has to negotiate in good faith and like me who represent border districts. >> you see this as an opportunity. you don't think that biden is getting it wrong in terms of being open to cracking down on stricter border policy as part of the negotiations? >> well, i think that any negotiations with senate republicans or house republicans has to include policies that the overwhelming majority of americans represent like daca, the deferred action for childhood arrivals -- >> but as you know, that's not part of the negotiations right now. you talk about the overwhelming

majority of americans supporting something, but there is also something we need to talk about which is the reality of what a president and quite frankly, all of you are dealing with. there are two things that you're facing, right? you have border crossing surge, the political center of gravity on this issue in terms of immigration and border security has moved sharply to the right, and this is a crisis and you are dealing with a divided congress. why should the -- those are realities that you have to deal with. >> the reality is that republicans also want to use immigration in the upcoming elections as a wedge to divide americans. >> but when you look at where polling is right now, polling shows -- >> it's also an opportunity -- >> registered voters are moving -- >> i think we just lost you, sorry. are you back with me, congressman? >> -- 1980s for us to get something done. so in this very broken institution in congress when we had those opportunities to negotiate with our counterparts

on immigration reform and something that is so critically important to communities like mine and to young people all across this country and families and folks who want to work hard and fill those jobs -- >> darn it. >> -- go back to trump-era policies. >> i am so sorry. technology is not in our favor today. it keeps dropping in and out. congressman vasquez, we'll talk about this soon about this issue and what is on the plate of members of congress in terms of trying to hammer out a deal on immigration border security not going away. we'll have another opportunity to connect. thank you so much. and coming up, trying to broker a deal as israel ramps up its military plans president biden is turning to leaders in qatar and looking for a diplomatic solution to calm the situation in gaza and secure the release of the remaining dozens of hostages. plus, the sudden death of a star and oscar-winning movie.

what we're learning about alleged blackmail and a drug investigation into this very famous, well-known korean actor.

president biden is keeping diplomatic lines of communication open as israel expands its war effort in gaza. the president spoke directly to

the emirof kata on tuesday and the potential for a permanent ceasefire, but biden's main focus is working toward the release of the 129 hostages that are still being held by hamas in gaza. at the same time, a top ally of israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu met with senior u.s. officials in washington, d.c. to discuss the next phase of the war to minimize casuallies. i am joined by ambassador regev. thank you for coming on the program and i want to talk about the meeting. the president met with ron dermer for dwight a long time. can you give us any insight on what came out of that meeting? >> i can only tell you, sara, and it is good to be speaking with you that israeli-u.s. ties have never been stronger. we've never had such an intense level of communication and

coordination. since the beginning of this crisis president biden has been there. he's, first of all, painted a clear picture from a moral point of view that hamas, he said, is sheer evil and must be destroyed and he's asserted and re-asserted again and again israel's right to defend itself. he said it's not only our right, it's our obligation to act against hamas and he's given diplomatic support for the united nations and he's given us the tools to finish the job and he's made sure we have the ammunition that we require to win this war. >> but, ambassador, one of the things that biden has been really stressing and the administration is trying to lower the intensity of the fight and ratchet down the number of people who are being held, civilians, in gaza. where are you on that front? where is israel and the united states on that front? are they on the same page?

>> definitely. definitely on the same page. we don't see the civilian population of gaza as the target of our operation. hamas, the terrorist organization that murdered israelis on october 7th, that raped, that beheaded, that massacred the young people at the music festival. that organization that hamas terrorists are the enemy. the people of gaza we are making a maximum effort to get them out of the line of fire to get them out of dangerous areases where we know there will be difficult combat and to facilitate humanitarian aid. >> ambassador, it's been really, really difficult looking at the pictures of what happened obviously on october 7th and what is going on in gaza with the hamas-run palestinian ministry for health saying there are more than 20,000 people who have been killed, most of them women and children. what does israel have to say and what will it do to try and stem that tide, to stop killing so many civilians? >> so every civilian casualty is

a tragedy and we don't want to see a single one and we're making a maximum effort not to see civilians caught up in the crossfire between the civilian defense forces and the hamas terrorists, but it's very, very difficult because hamas, as you know has orchestrated this policy of using civilians as human shields and they put the military regime and urban hospitals and the schools and the mofblgs and even in the u.n. facilities. so we are trying to be as surgical as we can be in a very difficult combat environment and once again, i stress, we don't want to see civilian casualties, and i can tell you that my information is that civilian casualties are going down and that's a good thing. of course, the numbers you get from hamas which are most likely exaggerated, but those numbers do not make a distinction between combatants and non-combatants. if you tell me we killed

terrorist, good, but civilians, every time a civilian is caught up in crossfire in israel's point of view it's a tragedy and shouldn't have happened. >> we know there are a lot of civilians who have been killed. i do want to ask you about the hostage situation because the em emirof qatar spoke with biden on speaking on the release of all remaining hostages held by hamas. where do things stand right now because it seems at this moment there is a question as to whether that is ever going to happen? >> once again, i want to start by praising president biden who help us facilitate the release of 100 people in november and he's obviously continuing trying to achieve the release of hostages and that's the good thing. the qatar government hosts hamas. the senior leader sits in their capital doha. for many people, they don't understand this. if you claim to be a member of

the civilized world, how can you host these hamas killers? these beheaders and the government of qatar answers, we can bring benefits to the world by having this relationship with hamas. so we say, okay, let's bring what benefits you can bring. can you bring about another formula that brings our hostages home? we want every last one of our hostages out. you know, we are speaking to the families of the hostages and they are going through living hell because they know who hamas is. they saw what hamas did on october 7th, the way they brutalized our people and the way they killed randomly and burned people alive and the hostages that got out in november are back and some have spoken on cnn and have spoken about psychological and physical abuse and of course, the families of the hostages are rightfully worried about their loved ones and the israeli government will do everything we can to get those people out as soon as possible. >> all right.

i know that qatar is going to be a big player in this. they have already played a role in getting some of the hostages out, but i hear you on the cognitive distance is how you're putting it with how hamas is in qatar and mark regev, there have to be negotiations and that is what has to happen for hostages to be released. thank you for coming on today. appreciate it. coming up for us, a man trapped in his wrecked truck for nearly a week surviving only on rain water. why police are calling it a miracle that he was found and just i in time, ththey say.

details about the death of south korean actor lee sun-kyun. the actor was known for the academy award-winning film "parasite." police say he was found dead in

his car and we also learned he was being investigated for alleged illegal drug use and the cause of death right now is presumed to be suicide. cnn's hanna ko montgomery is joining us from hong kong and joining us with developments. what more are you learning from police? >> good morning, kate. about this, it's an extremely tragic and very sad case in south korea and beyond given his international fame. so what south korean police have confirmed to cnn is that his death is a presumed suicide. we also know that around the time of his death he was being investigated for alleged illegal drug use. this investigation started in october of this year, and he's been called into police questioning three times most recently on december 23rd. just four days before he was found dead in his car. during this most recent questioning he was held for 19 hours and was released on christmas eve. now it's important to note that

throughout this investigation, all of these drug tests have come back negative. he has also denied ever know knowingly taking drugs and he was tricked into taking them and blackmailed. we know he has filed a lawsuit against his alleged blackmailer. >> what a -- so sad. he was just on eye i think he w just 48 years old and he was quite a star. what is the reaction then? >> yeah. his fame kind of knows no bounds, really. internationally he's really known for his film "parasite." starring in that film "parasite" after 2014 went on to win four oscars and it became the first film in hollywood history to win for a non-english language film and at home domestically in south korea he was a household

name. his career spanned decades and he starred in a number of tv shows and a number of films and his agency has released a statement also saying there is no way to contain the sorrow and devastated feelings. please refrain from spreading false information based on speculation or assumption. so really just a lot of sorrow and a lot of sadness surrounding the sudden death of lee. >> hanako montgomery, thank you so much. up next, from damar hamlin's terrifying cardiac arrest on the field to weight loss drugs. we're looking at the biggest health stories of the year and our sanjay gupta will have that for you coming up.

2023 was a year of incredible discovery and innovation in the medical field, but with surging respiratory viruses and shortages for common drugs like antibiotics doctors and patients also face really serious challenges. our own sanjay gupta takes a look back at the top ten health stories of 2023. ♪ ♪ 2023 may best be described as an incredible year of breakthroughs and innovation while also a year of continuing to deal or not deal with basic ongoing health problems. our team has had many moments now to reflect, be inspired, learn and re-double our efforts to help make all of you happier, healthier and more in form. let's kick things off with

number ten of our top ten health stories. >> january 2, 2023. the very beginning of the year. buffalo bills safety damar hamlin goes into cardiac arrest on national tv. >> we will need everybody. >> a quick response not only saved hamlin's life, but brought national attention to the importance of cpr, rapid defibrillation and the nfl's safety protocols which i saw firsthand. >> keep in mind the medical team was able to get to damar hamlin within ten seconds and speed really matters here. every additional minute that someone in cardiac goes without cpr mortality goes up by up to 10%. >> number nine, you probably never heard of fennell of rin. it's okay. it's in average over the counter help medicines like vicks sinex.

contrary to popular belief it was not effective as a nasal decongestant in final form. some stores like cvs will no longer sell medications that contain this as the only active ingredient. don't worry, though. there are lots of other options out there. number eight. >> a breakthrough treatment for sickle cell disease? and a breakthrough for modern medicine. >> johnny is now one of the first people in the world to have his genes edited using crisper for his disease. >> i was worried. >> in december the fda approved the first-ever treatment to use the gene-editing technique known as crispr. it allows scientists to precisely cut and modify dna which could potentially treat and cure certain diseases such as sickle cell, but also cancer,

muscular dystrophy, even parkinson's. number seven. >> a 60-year scientific quest has given us our first rsv vaccine. >> for the first time we have vaccines to fight the full triple-threat of covid-19, flu and rsv. last season we saw cases of rsv come back with a vengeance reminding us of the importance of vaccination especially for the most vulnerable. >> before i knew what happened he was being admitted and pumped with oxygen and try to be stabilized. >> so far we've been sleepwalking into this triple threat season, but there is still time. >> it's not too late to get vaccinated if you haven't already. >> number six, there are more than 300 drugs on the fda's shortages list right now. >> more than 90% of cancer centers say they're impacted by a shortage. >> this one may surprise you.

one of the richest countries in the world that spends trillions on health care and yet we currently have the highest number of drug shortages in about a decade. laura bray had to call hundreds of children's hospitals herself to find chemo treatment for her daughter and in the process she started a movement. she's now channeling into she learned to predict which drugs are going to go into shortage and to produce them before patients have to go without. >> you see this now and you see this coming off the line, what is that like for now? >> what i see is one of those being filled up, seven to nine nicu babies that will be helped today. >> the fda has approved a newal imzooers drug today. >> there's new hope for those with early alzheimer's. >> i look at my home and read the names, and a lot of them don't mean anything to me.

>> it could slow down disease in part by removing amyloid plaques in the brain. it's not a cure, but it can slow down the onset of more severe symptoms. number four, loneliness. >> i am so concerned about our children because there is an epidemic, if you will, of mental health challenges that they have been facing. >> coming out of the pandemic, loneliness and social isolation have become a public health issue for young and old alike, so significant an issue that the surgeons general normally known for curbing smoking had a rare convening to raise the public health alarm about this topic. >> and i had to look at my three teenagers every day and know that i'm not handing them a better world than the world that was left to me and a lot of that is because of our failure to focus on mental health. >> it's a massive problem that seems to disproportionately affect american, but at the same

time, small moments of human ke connection, smiling, saying hello are steps we can take toward a solution. number three, the ripple effects of overturning roe v. wade. real-life stories and unimaginable decisions. >> were the doctors clear with you about when her chances were of surviving? >> i was told there was no chance. either she would be stillborn or she would die within a few hours. >> a ruling by a texas judge also sent the fate of mifepristone, an oral pill known for abortion and miscarriage management, into legal limbo. with families feeling the effects issue the final decision will now be taken up by the supreme court. >> their concerns are if medical abortions are no longer accessible, what if their reproductive rights are restricted even further? >> number two. >> ozempic. >> demand for weight loss and

diabetes drugs like these have skyrocketed. a trilliant health analysis found in the final three months of last year, an estimated 9 million prescriptions were written for these kinds of medications. that's a 300% increase since 2020, and it pushed manufacturing lines to run practically non-stop this year. >> demand is very high and we're doing everything that we can to stand up and supply. that demand has also resulted in shortages. knock-offs and growing awareness of the side effects including nausea, vomiting and paralysis, but so far these drugs have been proven to be effective in weight loss and a welcome tool to combat obesity. and number one -- >> we talk about the dark side of ai and this is a bright spot of health care. >> while the message is still to proceed with caution, we've already seen a glimpse of how artificial intelligence could change health care to detecting

breast cancer. it may not ever, hopefully never replace your human doctor, it could help enhance patient care and even as we saw help someone walk again. >> happy new year and look forward to a lot more in 2024. ♪ ♪ >> happy new year, sanjay gupta. we love you. coming up still for us on "cnn news central," president biden's top officials are about to touchdown in mexico for high-level talks to try to drive down and better control the surging members at the u.s.-mexico border, and we have new numbers coming in from the border. we'll be right back. to duckduckgo on all your devie
