of the national soccer team. also tornados, at least 20 of them tearing through the south overnight. millions of americans warned not to let their guard down this morning. and this morning, new york's mayor is making a push authorizing first responders to potentially commit those suffering a mental health crisis without their consent. but first several southern states are on high alert after 20 tornados swept through the region overnight. in the state of alabama, powerful winds pushing debris into the air west of huntsville. four people injured, multiple animals have been found dead. in louisiana, a bridge was washed out, a vehicle stuck in a creek. ryan young is joining us from mississippi. i see the church behind you, the steeple blown off, the sign of destruction and damage.

what other damage have you seen as the sun is starting to come up there. >> we're an hour behind you so we're waiting for the first light to pop up here. we've been driving all throughout the night. we've seen pockets of trees being down. this is the largest structure that we've seen so far, the church steeple knocked off near the alabama line. after our last live shot we drove around to see what else was going on, and we ran into some state troopers who were blocking roads saying power lines were down. the big assessment will come in the next few hours. when you see a steeple like this one, one of the things you have to know is the path of the storm came through this area. we tracked it back through here, went in that direction and saw several trees down in neighborhoods back that direction and what looked like more power lines. we were also told a firehouse may have been damaged in the area. the first light is going to be so important with the storm happening late in the season, on that last night people were being warned about the potential

storms. 20 they believe dropped down in several different locations. we expect more damage assessments done throughout the day but right now waiting to see how bad it is. >> if you live in the south you expect these storms. it's just the worse when they happen overnight when people are sleeping. that's the hardest to deal with. >> reporter: absolutely. >> we'll check back in when the sun is coming up. thank you. an epic win for the u.s. soccer's team, christian pulisic sacrificing his body to score the goal in the u.s.'s 1-0 victory over iran. the u.s. team moving onto the knockout round but may have to do it without their 24-year-old leader. we'll speak live with the u.s. men's coach in a moment for an exclusive interview. but first, amanda davis reports from doha, qatar. >> reporter: in an all or nothing show down between the united states and iran. christian pulisic secured team

usa's victory with the lone goal of the match at the 38 minute mark. but it cost him the rest of the game. suffering a pelvic injury after colliding with iran's goalie. only able to watch the second half after being taken to the hospital for precaution. who is christian pulisic, the man known around the world as captain america who led team usa to the round of 16. he made his usa team debut in 2016 at just 17 years old. becoming the youngest u.s. player to appear in a world cup qualifying match. however, christian pulisic and the u.s. men's team suffered heartbreak in 2018 after failing to secure a spot at the world cup. >> i was obviously so upset, so emotional. but you know, looking back on it, that motivated me that much more. >> reporter: now the 24-year-old is considered one of the most talented american soccer players of all time.

he was born in hershey, pennsylvania, playing for the u.s. soccer development academy before moving overseas as a teenager. his first stop, germany. then to england in a blockbuster transfer to chelsea. a move that cost the premier league giant $73 million, making him the most expensive soccer player to date from the u.s. christian pulisic went on to win the champions league title with chelsea in 2021, the second u.s. soccer player to do so. but now his world cup fate is in the air. the u.s. soccer team announcing, quote, christian pulisic has been diagnosed with a pelvic contusion is his status is day-to-day. but a pumped up pulisic had different thoughts. apparently posting from the hospital, so proud of my guys, i'll be ready for saturday.

so a huge congratulations to team usa. what a difference in mood to that tense political build up to that game. a huge opportunity is how u.s. men's captain tyler adams is putting it. speaking of opportunity, a fantastic one for a french referee, she will lead the first all female officiating team at a men's world cup taking charge of germany against costa rica on thursday. for the little exchanges i've had with stephanie over the years, she will not want the excitement, hype and build up, she wants to get on with the job at hand. >> i'm surprised amanda davis still has her voice. thank you. president biden stopped what he was doing yesterday to celebrate team usa's big win. this is during a visit to a manufacturing facility in michigan.

>> the united states beat iran 1-0. u.s. 1, iran 0. it's over. hey hey hey. >> usa! >> usa! usa! that's a big game, man. >> hyping up the manufacturing facility. >> exactly. the u.s. men's team head coach joins us now from qatar. great to have you. congratulations. so well deserved. don's been screaming gooaall all morning. let's start with christian pulisic, what does he mean to the team, how is he doing? can you confirm he'll be on the field saturday? >> he seems to be doing good. just spoke with him a couple minutes ago. we'll see what he can do on the training field tomorrow. and hopefully he'll be ready for the game against netherlands. but in terms of his contribution to the group, i said all along when one of your most talented

players is one of your hardest workers, you know you're in a good spot. >> how are you feeling right now? >> feel good, you know, i think it's just about focus. we're not done. it's nice to get to the next round but we want to keep going. we had two tournaments that we're looking at, the group stage tournament and knockout tournament. now we're here in the knockout, i want to keep this thing rolling. >> the job was simple yesterday. you wanted to get in there, you wanted to win, this team pulled it off. you talked about the role christian played in that. what are you telling the team privately? what did you say to them after they came off the field after that huge victory? >> you know, it's just that. enjoy the moment. it was a big moment. i think it was complicated by the fact that iran just needed a tie. so that made it challenging. but -- >> uh-oh. coach?

he froze. we're going to get him back. give it a second? we're going to be very transparent. he froze. we wanted to talk to him. >> we'll try to get him back because this is so crucial to see what they're going to do next. mentality, you don't focus on what happened. >> he played for the netherlands for six seasons. >> and he's one of the first veterans to be a coach, i believe. so this is what makes the victory so amazing. >> what's interesting to me, even after this, as we saw the players, they put so much into this, even when they lose, there's still the comradery. >> you mean the comforting at the end? >> yes. even the members of the opposing team know how hard it is and they knew how hard it was from iranian team who's going to go back home and they don't know what they're going to face with

their families, the possibility of imprisonment and being punished. this one is just amazing. >> and that's a big aspect of this is also something to ask coach as we're trying to get him back here, is how, as a coach, do you handle both of those things. you want to focus on the task at hand, they went there to win, this is big for them. but how do you talk to your team about handling the sensitive geopolitical issues and what that looks like. with iran that's such a massive aspect of this. >> apparently we're not going to get him back. we're happy for the u.s. team. we hope the iranian team, all the members farewell there, and we're going to try to get the coach back. congratulations to them. >> we're rooting for christian and hopefully he makes a recovery. also we'll tell you something -- this is major what happened in a d.c. courtroom

yesterday. the founder there you see on the left of the oath keepers, one of his top associates on the right. both found guilty of seditious conspiracy for plotting to keep former president trump in office. the jury found three other defendants in the case not guilty of seditious, acquitted roads of two other charges. all five were found guilty of obstructing an official proceeding. there have been so many developments in this, it's hard to keep up. this is the first of three cases we're going to hear. it was seen as a huge test for the justice department and their ability to hold the capitol rioters accountable. joining us to talk about this is john avalon, author of "wing nut nuts extremism in the age of obama". >> this is huge for accountability. if what happened on january 6th and particularly stewart rhodes'

and the oath keepers' role isn't seditious conspiracy, what is? and that charge is difficult for the doj to land. it's only been successfully twice in the last 100 years. it was tried in 2010, a group in the late 80s, a group in the 1940s. all unsuccessfully. this is a high bar and the doj met it. >> they call it a dusty law that he would not be convicted on because as you said it's been rarely -- people have been rarely convicted of it. >> but the conviction came down. because the laws put in place after the civil war. were designed to be future oriented as well as ensure accountability in the wake of the civil war. >> the question is why this time? >> you had an armed conspiracy to try to overthrow the government, the peaceful transfer of power. and to date most of the folks who invaded january 6th have

been charged with obstruction of an official proceeding. that's the lowest par. this isn't bingo night. this is designed to stop the certification of the election. that was clearly their intent. >> we just told folks about your book, "wing nuts in the age of obama" this is when the oath keepers was started, during that time, in their words to resist a tyrannical president, talking about president obama there. that's an irony there. >> i began covering the oath keepers months after they were founded in 2009, a lot of my reporting came in the book, which is a decade old. and to see the group go from that initial impulse, which was allegedly about getting members of law enforcement, former military, to defend the republic against the actions of a tyrannical president, which was barack obama, and to see the militia groups that sprung up in

the time of barack obama, not surprisingly the first black president. >> why was he a tyrant? >> he wasn't. the irony was, 12 years later they're defending a president who's trying to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power. i think that speaks to the ark of this group and the danger of the my la sha movement with a lot of members. accountability for the top of militia organizations like this is key. the rank and file, many cases are being misled. but it's the leadership that needs to be accountable. this will send a cast ca cascad sign going forward for these folks. voters in georgia are coming out day after day in record numbers to vote early ahead of next week's senate runoff between senator raphael warnock and his republican challenger herschel walker. roughly 800,000 voters have

already cast the ballots including a record breaking 309,000 yesterday. compared to 2016, 2018, the single previous day records have been smashed. joining us is georgia's secretary of state chief operating officer, gabe sterling. thank you for taking the time. >> glad to be here. >> initially a lot of the voting happened on saturday that republicans were fighting against then the supreme court said no you can vote that day. you opposed that, allowing voting on that day, you thought it was antithetical to the law. what do you think now? >> well, it was antithetical to the law. the law said you can't have voting on a saturday after a thursday. it was the saturday after thanksgiving, and counties had a hard time getting people to open up because they couldn't find poll workers because people were with families. it was passed in 2016 for that purpose. it was passed with 80% of

democrats, and 9% of republicans. there was nothing rare about it. as an election administrator i want as much voting as possible but we have to follow the law. once the court said you vote on saturday we worked with the counties to provide as many sources as we could to make sure people could vote. >> could you help us understand -- i want our viewers and you to listen to something that senator warnock said about the push to not allow voting on that day, and i just want your response on the other side. here he was a few days ago. >> we filed a lawsuit so you could vote on saturday. they filed a petition asking for emergency relief. what you ought to ask yourself from is what do they want relief from? you want relief from people voting? >> what do you make of that?

>> well, he's trying to stoke up his crowd to come out and vote and say they're being suppressed. the reality was -- i'm not getting into my republican side of this. the republicans said the only counties that open up are democrat counties and it's not fair. it ended up those were the ones that did. so i understand the political motivations by the people doing that, because you were not going to have the republican counties opening up, because they didn't have the money or resources to doing it. i think they were trying to keep the polls even and fair. everybody this week is mandated to have early voting in every county. >> let me ask you, you say that you believe that it was wrong. but the courts did not decide that. i'm wondering what the disconnect is. obviously it is, you know, they decided that it should open after, you know, the thursday. so what is the disconnect there? you don't support the action even though the courts decided

that? >> well, no. i supported the action because the court said it. the reality was there was two interpretations of the law, i think ours was the best for the law. you had one judge that wanted elections to be open in fulton county who said i'm going with this other interpretation, that in our view was a big stretch. but the courts said it and we did the law as the courts interpreted. i think it was wrong and we can have arguments around that. this was not done for anything other than following and law and written and passed by a majority of democrats and republicans alike. that's the law. we don't get a choice in our office to decide whether or not to enforce the law or not. we always have to enforce it. that's the situation. once the court spoke we said, fine, open saturday. republicans, we stopped the appeals after the appeals court and said we're creating too much confusion. go forward and let the people vote on saturday.

now the republican party when they took it to the supreme court, which we didn't because we said it's going to cause too much confusion at this late day. >> i was on the ground in georgia on monday, a lot of people casting their votes. what do you think is driving this record early turnout? >> well, the condensed time line is going to be part of it, no question. but in georgia we've always had four week runoffs my boss, secretary brad raffensperger won a runoff four weeks ago. >> we're the only game in town, the bell of the ball, every political dollar in america is coming here, both on the left and right. we had people knocking on doors in the iron bowl, which showed they weren't from around here and didn't know better, but they're going to go, trying to pull every person out to these things. >> and a question about what georgia democrats want investigated. this is on reporting that herschel walker, the republican

in this race is getting a tax break in texas saying it's his primary residence there. there are questions whether he's running afoul of georgia rules for running for office p what is your sense of whether or not he is within the margins of what's right or is he breaking some kind of rules here with this? >> it's not really our office's thing to investigate that. i know the attorney general's office has a complaint. but there are ways to challenge residencies inside the law. i'm sure there's opposition research that has had this for a while. he's on the ballot, people are casting votes. it's up to the courts to decide if he's qualified to meet it or not. residency is squishy. it's like what is your state of mind. if you intend to be here as a resident we treat you as a resident. but it happens sometimes. >> as recently as 2021 he used it as a rental property and he

and his spouse were receiving money for it. can i ask you about -- one thing real quickly. do you think what happened on saturday with the voting, do you think it might change the outcome of the election? do you think it helps one side over the other? >> no, not necessarily. i think it was probably a little more democrat, the counties open. but now that we have it open, it'll even out. it helps election administration some because it takes pressure off these five days. >> have you been watching arizona to see what is going on there? what do you make of what happened with the legislature and certifying the vote and the nuttiness that went on around it? >> out of a morbid curiosity, yeah. i think it's very serious problems because there's a law that says you have to certify or you're committing a felony. they can't find any lawyers to represent them. that's why they're not

certifying their own election. >> quote of the morning. >> crazy town. >> nut ball. >> speaking of the next five days ahead of them. >> one more thing -- >> go ahead. >> go dogs. >> do not do that to kaitlan. >> i'm an lsu tiger and i'm with you, go dogs. that's the only time you'll hear me say that. >> i'm sick. thanks, gabe. >> thank you. i couldn't hear what he said, but something about dogs. next we have a giant leap for china in the race to space. three of their astronauts lifting off to a trip to their new space station. plus new york city's mayor empowering first responders to potentially commit those suffering from mental health crises. he wants to commit them involuntarily we're going to talk about that.

♪ in a major achievement for china's space program, three astronauts lifted off to china's newly nearly completed space station on tuesday. they docked at the station named the heavenly palace. this marks the fwibeginning of long term space station for china. so joining us now to talk more about this is cnn's space and defense correspondent kristen fischer. what does this mean? >> reporter: it is complicated to keep people in space alive and working continuously. meaning there is someone up

there at a space station nonstop. up until now only the united states and its partners have been able to do that at the international space station and have done it successfully for more than two decades. but on your screen that all changed yesterday with that moment there. china launching this rocket with three astronauts and then that crew, when they got to china's new space station they're going to switch out with the crew that's been up there. so what this really means is it just solidifies china's stance as a major space power, one that truly rivals the united states. >> that's the question i think essentially where the international space system, what that looks like compared to this. someone who's well versed in this, are there key differences here? >> so china's space station is smaller. it's only designed to house

three astronauts where on a busy day the international space station can be home to about 10 astronauts from the united states, russia, and around the world. but the fundamental design is fundamentally the same. there are various modules that are assembled together in orbit. what they're intended to do kaitlan, that's important here. one it's going to allow china to conduct all sorts of experiments in micro gravity, who knows what experiments china is able to do that the u.s. is not. and it's going to give them all the training to do what they really want, which is to build a base on the south pole of the moon which is what the united states is trying to do too with the new artemis program. >> fascinating to watch. kristen, thank you. china is expanding its nuclear arsenal faster than u.s. officials predicted. a new pentagon report found china's stock pile of nuclear war heads has doubled in two

years. back in 2020, the u.s. estimated the expansion would be achieved within a decade. at this rate china could more than triple that arsenal by 2035. jim sciutto is with us from washington. two years that's it? >> reporter: put this in the category of assumptions that the u.s. and west made about china that turned out to be wrong. it's a long list. let's look at war heads because this speaks to china's projection of military power around the world. in 2020, the u.s. put the total number of chinese nuclear war heads in the 200s. it has doubled in the span of two years. a figure that the u.s. did not believe china would reach until the middle of the next decade. they are moving much faster than the u.s. and west believed they would. they are testing as they go. last year they tested intercontinental ballistic missiles 135 times, higher than the rest of the world combined for ballistic missile

technology. you have the war heads and the missiles that deliver those war heads, they are testing those missiles. at the same time, they're testing and perfecting new technologies, particularly a hypersonic missile faster than the icbms, that were the method of war for decades. they tested one last year, flu around the entire planet, it was accurate, and that was faster than the u.s. expected as well. they did not know china had the technology and fear it's ahead of where the u.s. technology is. >> how big of a concern are china's nuclear investments? >> it's a big concern. it goes back to the false assumptions on china for a number of years. for years the u.s. and west believed china had a nuclear arsenal, wanted to keep it small, a weapon of last resort. now the fear is they're increasing it because they want to keep it -- here the prc

presents the most consequential and systemic challenge to u.s. security and the free and international system. we talk about russia and ukraine a lot, a threat but for years the u.s. has said china is the real threat. they're concerned that china uses the nuclear umbrella to invade taiwan. the concerns are real and fear china will hide behind the nuclear umbrella to do that. >> thank you very much. we appreciate that. new york city's mayor, eric adams is ordering first responders to intervene when someone is suffering a mental health crisis. will this hurt or help the crime rates in the city? we'll discuss all of it straight ahead. to design solutions to help you manage payroll, benefits, and hr today, so you can have e more succes tomorrow. ♪ one thing leadsds to anothe, yeah, yeah ♪ nicorette knows, quitting smoking is freaking hard. you get advice like:

good morning, everyone. it is wednesday, november 30th. welcome to cnn this morning. we have a lot to get to. first responders right here in new york city ordered to intervene when someone is suffering a mental health crisis and even commit them involuntarily if necessary.

also twitter's former head of trust and safety this morning sounding the alarm warning the social media platform is less safe now under elon musk. and oath keepers leader, stewart rhodes found guilty of seditious conspiracy. we'll be joined by his ex-wife who disavowed the right wing militia group that she helped create. so new york city's first responders, including members of the police and fire department, they're going to be expected to enforce a state law that allows them to intervene when someone is suffering a mental health crisis. here's the important part of this. they're empowered to potentially commit those people involuntarily. this is what the mayor of new york city, eric adams, has to say about it. >> a common misunderstanding persists that we cannot provide involuntary assistance unless the person is violent, suicidal or presenting a risk of imminent

harm. this myth must be put to rest. going forward, we will make every effort to assist those who are suffering from mental illness and whose illness is endangering them by preventing them from meeting their basic human needs. >> so this is part of an effort to slow the rise of crime in the city. although the murder rate has dropped over the last year, rape, robberies, and assaults have all increased, crime in general has gone up 31%. joining us is new york city's public advocate and a former nyc councilman in brooklyn. he supports the mayor's proposal. and a former nypd detective opposed to this measure. we're happy to have both of you. thank you so much. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> it's interesting the former nypd you're opposed to it. and you support what the mayor has to say. we'll get to both of them. let's talk about why do you support this? obviously there's a rise in crime, murder is down, but overall you see what's happening

on the subway. we see the images and politically people running on this. why do you support it? >> let's be clear, there are parts of the mayor's plan that i do support. in general, i think people -- some people will have to be moved involuntarily, what i am concerned about is some of what the mayor said. so any time you have more information about involuntary being remove then the care being needed then i do have concerns about that. so we are going to send a letter to get some questions to clarify what exactly do you mean, who's going to make decisions and when? another concern is if it's a police officer making the decisions, we have additional concerns. >> why do you not support this? >> again, like eric had said, it's i disagree with parts of it. i think to send in a uniformed officer to make determination for possible mental awareness or problems going on we're going to

be held accountable and the limited training we're getting we're trying to put them into a system that needs addressing. don't mistake that at all. by putting through with mental health teams going out and i think the problem is there that needs to be addressed. however, through training, education, continued throughout, not only for the uniformed police officers and ems, by changing these layws it's almos kidnapping. >> it's almost kidnapping. >> this is where i'm going. the people in new york city want the crime to stop. they want to see the people with mental health problems, mental illness, off of the subway, off of the streets, be taken care of. also they don't want to be confronted by them as well. that is a real issue for the people of new york city. you may see it as kidnapping a new york citizen that wants to be safe will see it as it's time for these people to be taken off

the streets. >> when i say it's kidnapping, serving as a paramedic. if i take a patient, aware, i know my name, able to think clearly to some degree, i have the right to refuse transport. from a police officer, i'm sorry you have to come with me. no, my flname is mr. lemon, it' november, i don't want to go. >> it sounds like one of your concerns also is the cops can't do this too. we have so much on our plate, are we going to be properly trained to do this, can we add this? >> i think training is paramount. i know we put it out, is there enough training? are we looking at situations potentially when a situation goes badly. if i go to take a patient that doesn't want to go, taking them involuntarily, what's the ramifications for the uniformed officer that's going -- >> don you said something that's

important. new york city residents want to be safe and use the subway, including my wife. if you ask them, they don't want police to be arresting people for having a mental health crisis. they want people to get assistance and a continuum of care. the problem with this plan is it doesn't spell out what the continuum of care is. we don't know how much funding is going into that versus additional police who don't have the training to make a determination whether someone should be taken in -- >> there's a difference between arresting and detaining someone. taking them to jail, you're offering them assistance. >> think about this, what's happening. >> you can quote/unquote put somebody in the hospital for two or three days, what's going to happen after that? we we doing a cycle to pretend we're doing more than we are. we see it with homelessness, you want to solve the problem is different than i don't see the problem. we want to make sure people get the care they deserve.

what about people who call and are in an apartment, a home. the main constrrux of this, we to divorce a law enforcement response from medical response. law enforcement should be there in case they're called and need assistance. the problem with the plans we're putting law enforcement first and not putting the care and continuum of care that's needed. >> that's so important. these are people presumed to be mentally ill and often as we've seen play out, arresting someone, even detaining them, they view it the same way. that has the risk of escalating the situation. i think what you're pointing out here is the gray area. adams seemed to suggest that yesterday or referenced that, he talked about the gray area but he said it's letting people slip through the cracks. do you think he has a point when he says that. >> what's slipping through the cracks we don't have the continuum of care. the state hasn't reopened more than half of the beds we had the what is slipping through the cracks is a plan that doesn't

say where is the funding going to be for the mobile crisis teams. there are good things in there we don't know if they're funded. we have less respite centers now than before the pandemic. >> why did new york city in the budget last month cut $12 million from the behavior health emergency response division that is specifically to go to emergency situations to deal with mental health instead of police? >> one is even that program unfortunately, almost 80% of times police were being sent. the question is why is that being cut? why is all the agencies being cut, except an agency like the nypd. >> look, i've been living in new york city for a long time. they've been closing facilities left and right for a long time and also during covid they let people out because -- >> mental health facilities? >> yes. they let people out because they didn't want them possibly getting covid, right.

they didn't want to have a pandemic. similar to what happened with the nursing homes. so the issue is, are they not getting at the root of the problem. is this the back end someone has an issue and you come in on the back end and you're trying to detain, arrest, hospitalize them when you should do it upfront? >> reporter: it's a band-aid on a waterfall, to put it bluntly. they spoke about multiple times for care, multiple times, it's falling through the cracks. looking back, been treated several times and now looking at them long term. what's the plan for that. we have criminals, new york city residents don't want to see criminals. so let's move it to mental illness which is a disease. it needs attention and they need help. they talked about outpatient care. a lot of people if you go into shelters they don't want to be there. i take this medicine and it makes me feel funny so i'm not going to take it anymore.

and then what happens, the progression gets worse and then we find them in situations we hope they don't. >> you're a former nypd detective. the key question is do you think the police can make the right call on something like this? >> i think on a case by case basis, through further education and enforcement from the department with it. if i tell a patient you have to come with me, whether we call it arresting, removing from custody, we're taking away their freedom. one minute i was on the subway platform, in my home, on the street now i'm saying you can no longer do that because you need to be evaluated. >> the real question is we shouldn't ask them to. why are we asking police to make a medical decision. >> if not them, who? >> we have an agency for this. we put out a report with an infrastructure of how to get this done. >> when people call 911 -- >> you shouldn't call 911. if someone has a mental health crisis, we need a separate number to call. >> i understand that. but if i'm on a -- i don't know,

on the street or in a train, sometimes it's hard, you don't have connectivity there, and something happens, i'm automatically call 911 and the police are going to come. >> most folks when they see someone, they'll say i think they're having a mental health breakdown, i don't want police. if you need a police officer, call 911. but if you don't, you don't have an option to call someone sell. you have people killed when someone is saying all i wanted is medical assistance for my son or family member having a medical crisis. we should empower medical peers who know what's going on and they can make the decision of whether or not people need it. >> i can hear people watching now, saying that all sounds good. but when i'm confronting someone or being confronted by someone, my life is in danger i'm not going through does this person have a mental issue. >> that's correct.

but we shouldn't talk about the small percentage of the calls versus what's talked about now. >> a gray area. >> it's clear it doesn't have -- the problem is, this plan doesn't lay out the help. it focuses on the involuntary removal. >> the reason this is important this isn't just a new york problem, california is dealing with it, so is washington state, many places. this is a big national conversation. >> we wish we could spend an hour with you. come back in a few months see how it goes, what happens, what needs to change. >> the people who need care the most are black and brown new yorkers who can't get the care. >> yes. thank you for saying that. >> thank you for having us. ahead of an experimental drug appears to slow progression

of alzheimer's but there are safety concerns. we'll tell you about that next. >> that was a great conversation.

alzheimer's. >> it is not going to save the person who you love who has alzheimer's now. they took about 1,800 people in the early stages of alzheimer's between ages of 50 and 90. some got a placebo and some got the drug. the ones who got the drug saw a 20% slower rate of cognitive decline and found that amaloid levels were lower, those are the plaques. those two things, is that enough to make a difference for someone with alzheimer's? first of all, it took 18 months to see these improvements. would you see a difference? would your grandfather, grandmother, mother, father, would they be different? would they feel better? would you notice a difference?
