tv CNN Tonight CNN December 12, 2022 8:00pm-9:00pm PST
8:02 pm
has been slamming the west is now moving east. more than 10 million people across more than a dozen states are under winter weather alerts tonight. >> and depending on where in the country you live, you can be facing flip blizzard conditions, flooding, or even possible tornadoes over the next few days. so let's get to the meteorologist for the reds in the cnn weather set tour. what are you seeing? >> the storm is massive. stretching from the northern plains back into the four corners all the way down into the deep south. and again, ranging from snowfall, ice, and even the threat of severe weather. snowfall depth currently across the sea are a mountain range back into the central rockies ranging anywhere from a foot two feet of snowfall. the heaviest snow fell across this year a mountain range for the last 24 hours where it picks up almost six feet of snow above 5000 feet. and all of that moisture that fell over the sea and mountain
8:03 pm
range pushes up through the central rockies into the northern plains and upper midwest today and tomorrow. some of us already dealing with these conditions. you see the pink popping on radar, that's ice. yes, and a quarter of an inch to half an inch ice expected up to an inch and some of these areas that are under the ice storm warnings. this will continue on and then the thunderstorms, you'll see the lightning starting to fire up in parts of nebraska, down into the texas panhandle already, this is going to be a continuance over the next 24 to 48 hours. blizzard warnings in effect that is 25 mile per hour winds, over a three hour period of time where visibility is going to be knocked down to a quarter mile if not longer. we -- 55 miles per hour sustained with gusts even stronger than that and as it pushes to the north, you can expect that in rapid city, north dakota cota as well. you will see areas in --
8:04 pm
stretching from the central plains back across the southeast moving into the mississippi valley what we will have that threat of damaging winds. hail and even long-lived tornadoes. once we move into wednesday, that will push into the florida panhandle. >> can believe that's, tom thank you very much, brantley. >> i want to turn to a special counsel wrapping up the criminal investigation surrounding donald trump. now subpoenaing georgia secretary of state. cnn political commentator erin louis along with scott jennings, and john dean, former nixon white house counsel, also cnn political commentator ashley allison joins us as well. look, john, let me begin with you for a second here because in less than a month, a special counsel, you have jack smith issuing subpoenas for brad raffensperger and local elections and local back row ground states asked to hold trump in contempt -- you have multiple people before a grand jury as well. and by the, way we're learning, i think is still in europe
8:05 pm
recovering from a bike accident. this is a lot of ground to cover in a short amount of time. what do you make of it? >> laura, i think he's right on top of it, he's been on top of it from day one. he filed a pleading in the 11th circuit where the argument was about to be made. contesting statements they had made, the trump people, had made in their brief. and he has been sending people to grand juries. he got top aides, two councils from the trump white house and stephen miller. so he is really pushing this and moving it quickly. >> ashley, our panel last hour raise the question what's taken so long? it's been two years for some of these investigations that have been going on, and now we are seeing brad raffensperger be called about january 6th and things like that. the special counsels moving a lot more -- than the department of justice was. >> is that for me? >> sorry, for ashley.
8:06 pm
>> at some point, i wanted it to be more expeditious process. but the reality is that slow and steady wins the race. and what the race a victory means as making sure that people who tried to throw over democracy face the necessary consequences. i think the department of justice has done a lot of work laying the foundation of when the special counsel was appointed. they've now taken the baton and it may seem like it is moving faster but a lot of work has been done already by doj. so i'm willing to be patient as long as justice is served. >> that's a good point, ashley, the idea of thinking of the ground were being done and now you can hit the ground running is because there's a foundation. it remains to be seen. but scott, as you know, really frankly days away from new congress being sworn in, obviously doj is a separate, and it tends to be a separate entity from congress and government.
8:07 pm
but i want to know politically what the ramifications of this will be. do you think this is still a politically viable investigation where the electorate is behind it? >> look, the investigation has momentum. it's been going on as you pointed out for a couple of years. a lot of people have been interviewed, a lot of documents have been obtained and grand juries were in paneled and this thing has momentum. so it strikes me that given the people he's currently seeking to talk to that they are getting to the point where they're gonna start making some decisions. yes, it's viable because real things happen. january 6th happened. the phone call to the georgia secretary of state happened. a lot of things were said and done and we're done right in the open. we saw it with our own two eyes. so -- also, i would just, say political liability of an investigation, public idea of an investigation, it's kind of irrelevant. i think the point of all this should be just a should be done, no matter what public opinion is. that's what we should all want
8:08 pm
here is for any crimes that were committed to be prosecuted to the fullest extent to the law. and provided that they will have their day in court to a system that we all agree to. that's what i want as an american and i hope the special counsel gets there. >> if you have something to add, feel free, but i want to pivot at some point to what stephen miller is up to. >> oh yeah. we definitely want to get that. i just want to say, look, even simply receiving the's -- county pennsylvania, maricopa county, and arizona, it has a beneficial effect as we all know. anyone who's had contact with the criminal justice system, you get a federal subpoena with her name on it, you are going to think a little more carefully when the next election comes around about whether you want to engage in sort of wild speculation about stolen elections and start issuing memos about seizing machines and so forth. so the investigation is longer than a lot of us would like, but it's already had a beneficial effect. >> that's a good point. let's speak to stephen miller, we remember he's the architect of the child separation policy
8:09 pm
among other hits. and he has started this anti-white bigotry group. and he is suing when things prop up in the government that he thinks are again -- that discriminate against white people. billions of dollars in pandemic aid that was going to black farmers. billions of dollars that was going to minority and female -owned restaurants. and he's winning. he is winning in court. >> this is how it works. social movements give rise to counter movements. so yeah black lives matter movement, and then you have a counter movement where you have the thin blue line facts started popping up all over the place. you've got the george floyd protest in 2020. well, stephen miller and company, in reaction to all of the different really interesting projects that happened throughout the country where people are trying to come to terms with past injustices, it gives rise to a counter
8:10 pm
movement where stephen miller apparently got tens of millions of dollars collected to try to go into court and try to make a case that we should not rectify these past injustices. it is what happens, i don't think he ultimately will be successful -- >> but he has already been in some court cases. >> he can win this case or that case but if you step back and look at the broad picture, the reality is, white men are not being discriminated against. most americans under 18 years old or kids of color. the country is changing as the president is saying, the younger generation they're the smartest, the most tolerant, the best educated, the most techs of a generation we've ever had. i would bet that on the kids and not the dinosaurs like stephen miller. >> the fact of the matter is, and i think you make a great point, the idea of what you judge the success of these different matters. but the talking point to be used nonetheless to show that there is some discussion about why it's problematic to correct past wrongs. let me ask you, john, a different point more broadly.
8:11 pm
and i just wonder from your perspective going forward as we are embarking on a time when we have a new congress who's still looking back. one woman in particular, marjorie taylor greene, the cameras were from georgia talking about what she would've done differently with a january 6th insurrection and how it would've been successful. take us back to your reaction that this is a punchline to this day. >> it's kind of a sorry commentary, actually, that she would say we would've done it better if we done it more aggressively and we would've done it with arms. she seems to forget that there are lots of weapons there but i think these are attempts to gather attention. there is an attention economy out there they're talking about and people on the right like marjorie taylor greene like to draw attention to themselves and do it without rages statements one after the other it sort of the standard mantra of the right now to see what can be more outrageous than the

8:17 pm
trail has unfortunately gone hole. or from cnn's, jason carroll. >> this may be the last known image of kenny dylan junior. shows him just as he entered a sporting goods store in the south of france, wearing a red jacket, and gray knit cap. that, was december 3rd. >> i just hope that he reaches out to us. >> the land, it 22-year-old senior at st. john fischer university of rochester new york. as part of a study abroad program in france. at the university of grenoble outs. the man's family said they have been communicating frequently, but then, the message to stop. >> we were just exchanging how he was doing and, he has been traveling. he's been having a great time. we just shaker heads, we don't understand why he's not reaching out to us. >> his family launched a website seeking answers and detailing his last known whereabouts. november 27th, his last heard
8:18 pm
from him on whatsapp. that's when they say their son boarded a train headed for the lance, france. two days, later barbara 29th, be prosperous office and equitable, the study where he was studying french open investigation after his fellow students reported missing. november 30th, the last known activity from his phone. then, december, third deadline made an eight dollar 40 cent purchase at that sporting goods store located just about 80 miles from grenoble. as what they're saying, nothing seemed wrong during their conversations. >> it's like any normal conversation that we have had. he's telling me about the time that he's having. and europe. he was looking forward to coming home for christmas. and starting to put the plans in place for that. >> the french prosecutor's office tells cnn, thailand told several people he was under prepared for overseas study, and was having difficulty making friends. st. john fischer university
8:19 pm
says, it is working closely with the american institute of foreign study, on the investigation. hey i f s is saying in the statement, we are working with local law enforcement to begin a search, we are hoping for his swift and safe return. back in his hometown, a prayer service held at the clifton springs united methodist church. >> i like to see you come home. and preferably, before christmas for your family sake. and for yours too. just be. safe >> as community, and, family praying that he will soon be found safe and sound. >> we are waiting, we are worried, we don't know what or where he is. >> jason carroll is here with us along with our louis and john miller, the chief law enforcement and intelligence analysts. john, it tell me, does it seem like foul play to? does seem like he left of his own accord, the recently says
8:20 pm
that is because of what jason just reported. on the young man reporter told several people that he was under prepared for the study abroad and was having difficulty making fronts. >>, so part of the issue there is a 22. if you want to walk, when he can walk away. follow commission child, and i think that is part of my parents are having trouble getting information because he's an adult and b, the french have extraordinarily complex laws about privacy and sharing anything that is under investigation. especially with another country, especially about adult. so tied up all up that, to get back to a question. looks like he walked off the set from the study program as we see him 87 miles away, by something for $8.40 and a sporting goods store. the problem is, when it goes off the grid, totally, no communications. the south phone ping. the credit card stops. you have to wonder, even if he walks with his own volition did something happen to him. that's a real question right
8:21 pm
now. is the okay, why is up to? it >> just on that point. the, parents obviously, worried about their son. they want to know where he. is there's a concern that he raised allison. has there been frustrations about the lack of information. what are they, if anything? >> a couple of things. the word sick as any parent will be worried if their child had gone missing like this. i remember, the states out of character for him. because they say he had been communicating every single day, checking, and saying i'm doing this, i'm doing that, whatever. but as john brings, up this spurns privacy laws. it's causing a great deal of frustration on the path of his mother's father. there's want to know, from french authorities, were you talking to? what are they saying to? you had again, he is an adult. he's 22 years old. and so french privacy laws are there to protect you, even sometimes for your own family in terms of giving out information. but again, because the families work with the state department. because,, now the story is
8:22 pm
cotton so much international attention. behind the scenes one would theorize that they are getting some information. but these are two parents were, sick about their child. so whatever formation are getting, it's not. enough >> it's not known this happens in this country. but the idea that having a different country with us all this different laws is really upsetting. >> what would hope that without the cooperation of the french police that they would but the message out, including this message, tonight. that is many people as possible see, it tell them that colin your tips. collin and information and i hope that they're doing it in concentric circles around this store, to decide. everybody steep and, or street musicians, anybody. have you seen this kid? trying to the message to him. we all hope, i think that is maybe out having some kind of adventure. or meeting new friends. or traveling around, it without using credit cards, and forgetting to call home. and if it comes to this attention that people are
8:23 pm
looking for, him, perhaps he will call. back >> at what what did this escalate. do you think this has evolved in some? respects >> in terms of escalation happened once that is friends from school called and said, hey, he's not showing up. and i think that is one of the reasons why some this parents are pushing back on some of the reports that basically said from french authorities say, oh, hey, look he wasn't making friends. they did acknowledge him, that if you wanna make friends it's a lot more difficult and terms of what he thought would be. but it's hard to escalate after his friends noticed that he did not show up for class. so then, of course, we alerted local authorities. >> there's a host family? >> there is a host family. those family, look. from all accounts, i, made the host family speaks very little english. but that is the way it works. when you go and one of these exchange programs. but he got along with them. those family, you know, took the. switzerland to come on visit. and so that's why there's so many questions and so much
8:24 pm
frustration on the part of the family, trying to get more information from authorities. >> let's hope that this helps, as you say all media awareness helps. thank so much you guys. well it is a writer, scientist have been tracking to crack for decades. how to harness nuclear fusion. now they made a huge breakthrough, and it could have a major impact on clean energy. >> where the spine how it all works. just allison.

but there is another amazing thing that happens in nature if a smart tiny particles together and excuse and convert a tiny part of their mass into energy, into the heat. heat and light. and that was for the hydrogen bond. but for all this time, for 80 years. people have been trying to get this idea where you can do it in a controlled fashion. using a tiny amount of material and hydrogen that has an extra neutron, which is now this mar marvelous worker training. it has two extra neutrons australia. and so, using lasers they sap
8:31 pm
this container, this whole gold thing with the two teary minute and the lasers great x-rays. and the x-rays trade constructively interfering shockwaves that get the thing to fuse. without a giant magnetic model without the gravity of the storm. so, the first time, file counts. but they've got more heat out. and they put in. so this is amazing and, as far as i know, and the reporting for the last few days. no one has mentioned it and we k fairly and his colleagues at the university of chicago did the first chain reaction which led to all the nuclear power plant we have now. on december 2nd, 1942. so it is quite a little ten stroke, but it is very close to
8:32 pm
80 years later to the day that this breakthrough occurred and so, you guys, if this would work. if this is a harbinger, if this is really the beginning of something huge. it would change the world. it's putting a star and putting a box on earth, and tapping into an energy that goes on forever. -- it's this endless clean energy machine and the appeal of it is you don't have any nuclear waste, there's no fillers, there's no accidents, you don't have to drill or mine for fuel anymore because the fuel is seawater. we have 30 million years of seawater theoretically to feed
8:33 pm
these machines. but what bill was describing there is you have these 200 lasers that's essentially a peppercorn of hydrogen. a long way from there from where you can plug in your house to the stuff. this is for our grandkids probably as a meaningful technology. bill, maybe you're more optimistic than i am about how fast this takes. in the meantime, this takes incredible breakthroughs happening with wind and solar and more will go online in the next five years. it went online in the last 20. so will be interesting to see how this news is received by those who say we should be putting our billions of dollars into technology we know works today and getting off oil and gas asap. and then maybe saving life as we noted before we go for these amazing moon shots. but, at the same time, the promise of this, private money is gonna chase public after this. so it could be a brave new world. >> we do you think it could be, in our grandchildren's lifetime,
8:34 pm
could it be sooner? >> absolutely. so just think about how quickly went from discovering chain reactions. this is third crossing the street in 1928 and they had this idea -- two decades later, we had nuclear power plants. this could be the beginning of something amazing. so everybody, you know this expression h two o, water, there's no shortage of hydrogen. if we can find a way to make this happen continuously, what you do is capture the heat and almost certainly capture the heat, boil water, make steam, run a turban just as we do now in a cold fire plant or natural gas fire plant, or nuclear plant. we are making it efficient. it's exciting, and it shows you the value of just investing. we just invest in basic research. there is no right answer. and i've got to say, bill, to
8:35 pm
me it's -- don't make me pick. we don't have to pick but really -- because the climate situation is so serious, we want to do, as i like to say, everything all at once. we want to develop wind, and solar. we want to develop this fusion technology if it's possible. we want to avoid, you may know nimby in my bike yard, we want to avoid banana. build absolutely nothing anywhere near anything. we can't do that either. we have to build powerlines, it's gonna have to go through someone's right of way we have to find ways to distribute electricity and include everybody in a future so that we have a higher quality of life for more people on earth and we can avoid having catastrophic climate consequences. this is one more piece in the puzzle. invest, invest, invest. plus, people!
8:36 pm
i was born in the u.s.. i don't know any better. so i want the u.s. to lead in this technology. i don't want to be catching up with researchers and other parts of the world who are fine people, they are great colleagues. >> you're proud american, yeah. you make a good point. you make a great point, bill. and this is such a great story. so often that we have juwan and it's really discouraging climate news, and it's catastrophic in fact. and this is such a hopeful exciting story. so thank you both for explaining it so well to us. great job. >> that is invest taxpayers and voters. let's invest in change the world. >> thank you. i used to be a lot more fun. and thanks to the scientists who at the labs, i am today. go science! >> it's fantastic. it's fantastic to be able to report a great story. >> a good kind of investment
8:37 pm
too! >> you're right. there's a huge development in the story, about the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange. remember how millions of people lost money? the founder of that exchange has been arrested in the bahamas. and that the day before he was supposed to testify before congress. we're gonna bring you up to speed on what's happened, next.

8:48 pm
world cup, and qatar, sports illustrated where walt worked for nearly 25 years paying tribute to him saying, quote, no right or the history of sports illustrated has been more passionate about the sport he loved and the stories he want to tell. some journalists were in the press box also speaking out about their final moments with grant what. including, rafael chorus. he was sitting right next to wall during the match between argentina, and the netherlands. he joins us now along with one of walls friends and former colleagues, sports illustrated executive editor and senior writer, john wartime. thank you for both of you for being here this evening. it's very difficult. >> i want to start with you. there's still so many questions, it's so mysterious. what happened to grant. and obviously so disturbing everyone. you are seated right next to him, when he suffered some sort of medical emergency. could you tell that he was in distress? what was happening. >> while, he was at the media
8:49 pm
tribune in our borough. he was the last in the row, behind him there was this metallic structure. so he was last one. hosted him to his left, next when. the space is very tight, so we are chair against share. and this happened at the very end of the game of four minutes before they had the second half of the extra time. we have been sitting there for more than two hours. grant -- i don't recall him moving at all during those two hours. he was talking with us, not much, but normally we were commenting on some plays from the game. and what i can say is that he was confident and we knew that he had bronchitis, but obviously you never expect what happened at the end of the day. >> on that point. before he had some of sort of
8:50 pm
medical urgency. how do you explain to you how he was feeling,? and i'm also a curious as to what happened that you were first alerted's there being an issue. >> well, at that time of the game. we were all kind of inner computers. and then, the person on my left. which new grant from a long time, and i used to listen to grant, and say what was happening? they're trying to my rights and i saw grant in distress. i do want to be specific, i don't think we need to. but definitely he wasn't a critical situation. i tried to talk with them. i grabbed his face, i was trying to communicate with him. he was not responding, we start yelling for -- the whole media area brought up because we were yelling. and i don't remember how many
8:51 pm
seconds went until the first paramedic, it was a woman, arrived to where we were. i was holding grant while he was trying to talk to her. and, for me, i mean. it was a very long time. maybe was not that long. but i wanted her to do something because i tried to make him react. and i knew that what he was doing was trying to talk to him. but that was obviously not working. so she took his pulse and, at that moment she said we have to put him on the floor. because the chairs will regular chairs all likes thing seats, we took away the chairs and we put him on the floor. and then more paramedics arrived and they started doing cpr.
8:52 pm
>> john, it's so, shocking obvious council many levels. he was 49 years old. he seemed to be in good health, other than obviously having a cold, bronchitis. it's obviously such a shock wave through everyone. and so, particularly john. you, because you worked for him for so long. and you didn't beautifully about how he was an inspirational writer. so just share with us. what was so inspiring about him? >> some of it was just the quality of work that he produced, whether it was long form journalism like reporting, news breaking. but also podcast and. petito this is someone who just knew soccer as well as anyone, but it wasn't so much about the games as the people. apart from the work product, it was also the way he went about the job. and he was compassionate, but he was principled and he was absolutely thorough and dignified and he was curious, he traveled everywhere. he cover the, men but also the
8:53 pm
women. he loved how -- it really was a model both in terms of the work you did, but also his approach the job as well. >> jonathan, we've heard from so many icons in sports. think about how they impacted, and how impacted their lives. we remember thinking about even, lebron james. obviously, a titan in the field a basketball. remembering a cover story when he was in high school, and akron ohio. written by your colleague. i just think about those moments of being able to identify the talent to have stuck with him after thinking about it. i'm really sorry that you heard today talk about him in this way? what would you like the world to know about the legacy that you hope his work leaves? >> i think just that you can have this kind of success, and this kind of humanity in fashion. it was great that lebron james and alicia king, so many people from the soccer world weighed
8:54 pm
