i d d so my y quesonons eouout hicacase.y y son, cacalledhehe bars s fi i d d soit was the best call eouout hii could've made. call the barnes firm and find out what your case all could be worth.uld've made. ♪ call one eight hundred, eight million ♪ good evening, everyone, i'm alison camerota. >> i'm laura coats. this is cnn tonight. and can i just say, that was such a powerful documentary.

it really was, alison, and the way that there was just so much affirmation of what they had done, they did not retreat to a corner, which they would've been entitled to, -- >> sure. >> they were proactive unhelpful still. >> those parents are extraordinary. i thought about them every single day since those conversations, which was now probably two months ago, because of exactly what you're talking about. they were grief-stricken. they are grift grief-stricken. their grief hasn't gone away, maybe some days it's not as raw as it was that first year, but they still have taken action. so, they've been able to, in their lives, and obviously this is a lesson for all of us, even with grief, they've been able to move forward and hold those two things together. and they have made remarkable changes. which is we're gonna talk about, where we are with gun violence in school shootings in this country. >> and the stats are startling still. yet, there is forward motion. and that is something that i

think, when you think about reflecting on ten years, there's a tendency to almost want to avoid not talk about it, because you wanna put your head in the sand and think this isn't doesn't it happen here. all of our kids or safer. and yet there's still work to be done. >> yes, we're gonna talk about all of that. later in the program, we're gonna speak to scarlett lewis who you just met in the documentary, her six-year-old son jesse was killed at sandy hook, she has managed to turn her pain into progress. she's gonna share her wisdom and advice for how to get through this with gloria and javier -- whose nine-year-old daughter jackie was killed in uvalde. >> and we have breaking news, the very latest on the deadly tornadoes ripping through southern states tonight, at least three people have been killed in louisiana. 2 million people are in the path of twisters and hail and winds up to 65 miles per hour. these powerful storms continue throughout the overnight hours. we have lots to talk about, along with cnn's new legal analyst, elie honig, and --

cofounder and ceo of all in together, and cnn political commentator, eke up. you know, it's such a time that we're in right now, i would love to hear from all of you in the sense of, we are in a space, s.e. cupp, where there is so much progress and yet still a lot of work to be done. it's a conflicting feeling. how do you feel? >> well, you know, look, i've been in the space for a long time, i'm a gun owner, and i was a gun rights activist at a time. in an nra member before i quit. and a lot changed since sandy hook, sandy hook is one of the reasons i left. the progress has been for law abiding gun owners, responsible gun owners, who have decided in many cases to part with the nra, and say, they are too extreme, and we want to come out and be part of a solution instead of just defending, you know, the second amendment as we did. i saw progress earlier this year, when good democrats, good republicans got together and brought some legislation to the table.

and didn't do what they usually do, democrats usually gum up stuff so it doesn't pass, republicans usually say, no to everything. that's progress. let me tell you, things are about to get real scary. the day before roe was overturned, another case came down from the supreme court. new york state pistol and rifle versus bruen, and basically, in it clarence thomas ruled that if you can't find a law from 1791 when the second amendment was ratified, you can introduce new gun regulations. so, in west virginia for example, a court they are decided it was unconstitutional to have serial numbers on guns. if you've watched a single episode of forensic files, you know that elmo's cops solve gun crimes. in texas, a judge decided, it was unconstitutional to prohibit someone who was a domestic abuse or from owning a gun because in 1791 in texas, a special abuse was not a crime.

this is wild, we don't talk about that enough. that has me very, very concerned. >> and it's more extreme than that as well. the supreme court is only going to in one direction on the second amendment, that is clear. and if you look back to the history of the case, s.e. cupp was talking about, the patron saint of what they call originalism of this idea of, what were they thinking back then? it was justice antonin scalia. however, he conveniently, this is a guy who told judge judicial philosophy is that every word matters, every penguin remark matters. when you look at the second amendment, and alert to be part of a militia here, he is faced with that exact question in that case. unity says about that part of the militia? that part doesn't matter. ignore. mr. textualist, mr. says those words don't matter. he's very selective. he's very careful. somehow he always comes out and one way and the new court is just running with that. i will say this oh for our courts. and allison, your documentary features this. they have been a vehicle for some measure of justice. there can never be, nothing can

undo what happened to these people. to be put through the extra torture that alex jones put them through, and our courts have rightly found him liable. he'll never pay it all. but you can see this new documentary, some measure of justice that was very valuable. >> absolutely. a billion dollars basically they got from him, he says they never get ascent, their lawyer says, the value to the grave. >> the supreme court on gun rights is out of touch with the vast majority of americans on that issue. as they are with roe. and other, to at least very important point, about the sort of very dogmatic approach to the law on these issues. and the fact is, the vast majority of americans across the board, gun owners et cetera, want some kinds of sensible gun laws. particularly when you look at issues like domestic violence, domestic abusers having access to guns when there's overwhelming evidence that that often has exponential risk of homicide in that case. americans want the courts to protect them. they want the congress to

protect them. and families who have had little children sitting through shooter drills, that was a huge motivator for voters in the midterms after trump was elected. all those moms who preschoolers were having to go through shooter drills. it's a political issue that people care about. it's remarkable bipartisan many ways. >> you would have talked about this before, lauren, as mothers, the idea of thinking about what it's like for your kindergarten or your first graders. >> traumatizing. >> a generation. and it's almost normalized for them. they think. this also taking a step back and broadening it out, which i know is so important with sandy hook promise and what they're working on and what they continue to do, is, unfortunate because of gun violence, there cannot be a singular focus on just one particular space where it occurs. >> oh for sure. >> multipronged. and there was a club q survivors, by the way, who blame rhetoric, talking about the politics of -- on the idea of violence. the idea of use of gun violence and targeting people in

particular. listen to this what happened on capitol hill. >> to the politicians and activists who accused lgbtq people of grooming children and being abusers, shame on you. >> we are being slaughtered and dehumanized. across this country. in communities you took oath to protect. >> the hateful rhetoric we've heard from elected leaders is the direct cause of the perfect shooting at club q. >> so, is the rhetoric causing it in part? >> i mean the rhetoric is a huge part. and we all have to look at how we're talking about in terms of our politics. politics is a part of it, mental health is a huge part of it. which doesn't mean you get to ignore the gun legislation part. it's all of it. there's so many contours to this conversation in this debate. it's real easy to focus on one and miss the others. there's also a cultural thing that's happening. that i've noticed over the past decade or two. is the federalization of black guns and black gun cultures. there's these pockets of gun

rights people, there's the self-defense crowd, a lot of women increasingly african americans, increasingly asian americans. they're sportsman, people like me and my husband, who mostly use guns to hunt and shoot at targets. and then you've got like this militia crowd, not that they're in a militia, but they really attach guns to they be wanting to protect themselves against a tyrannical government. and then you have the black gun crowd, and by black gun -- >> what does that mean? >> we usually mean ar-15 in similar. >> the weapons of war, basically, -- the >> people elect a cosplay at war and pretend to be soldiers and posting pictures around instagram. that part, that pocket that subculture, has really consumed all of the argument over gun rights and how far to take gun's rights extremism. when those are the folks leading the arguments on that side, don't be surprised when it gets more extreme. >> i don't want to talk about a little bit of progress, and that's why this is, to your point, it's such a schizophrenic conversation that

we always have to have. because they're steps forward, and their steps back. and it gets complicated, but there have been, as we talked about in the documentary, 525 state laws, significant state laws, considered by the gifford center, that have been passed in the past ten years, and by the way, in those states, it really did something significant, connecticut has not had a mass shooting since 2013. well. that's a lot. >> and it's a lot of the moms that are responsible for that. you have to look at the extraordinary political organization of groups like moms demand, and sandy hook promise, and all these groups. many of whom are average citizens, they're not professional politicos. these are people for whom it's very personal. they have successfully lobbied their state governments and made an impact, and to your point of progress, it's an extraordinary example for what's possible in this country. when people organized and understand how the system works, and use that personal experience, bring that personal stories to bear, on the policies that get passed in this country. >> experiences they never wanted, experiences they never

wanted. >> there's absolutely been a lot of progress that's important, we keep that in mind. particularly the state level, the thing about guns that they travel. very easily. we have very strict laws, as a prosecutor new york in new jersey, and you know what our guns are coming from, pennsylvania, ohio, north carolina. we had pipelines of guns coming in. that's why, i think there's some effort, we're never gonna get there, but federal legislation would really make a big difference. the thing is, the gun lobby is taken this zero negotiation stance for decades now, and it's worked for them. as a tactic. >> yes. there was bipartisan legislation -- again stepped forward. >> i like the speed talking to get that in. >> that was good. that was an optimistic start -- >> hard topic to be optimistic about. >> it sure is. thank you very much for discussing all of that, we do want to turn to some breaking news right now. 2 million people are in the path of tornadoes, hail and wind. as this huge storm tears through the south, at least three people have been killed. confirmed tornado, touched down in new orleans this afternoon, and cnn's nick valencia is in

breton louisiana. nick, what is the situation at this hour? >> hey there, good evening, alison. this damage here is extensive, in this hard-hit neighborhood of gretna, louisiana, where emergency crews we've seen them going throughout this neighborhood, block after block, canvassing this area. making sure that everybody is accounted for. and as much damage as you see behind me, as it stands right now, we believe that everyone is accounted for in this neighborhood. there was no loss of life, you did mention three people did die as a result of these storms, and just look behind me. the path of this tornado took ripping down this tree, downed power lines are still very active, we don't get too close, it's still a very dangerous situation according to those first responders who we spoke to. that tornado came through here and ripped through the backyards of these neighbors. it was earlier i spoke to those neighbors, they said they were aware that there was a risk of severe weather. it was just not comprehensible to them that they were thought they were going to take a direct hit. one of those neighbors said that the storm lasted about 10 to 15 seconds, still, you can see the type of damage that it left behind.

you know, many of these homes are still without power. you can hear the hum of a generator here behind me, as crews are continuing to make sure that everybody is okay in this neighborhood. we talk to a lot of eyewitnesses here that are just shell-shocked by what they went through, it's not lost on them that this has happened. just before christmas, i spoke to a little boy earlier, who said that, you know, it's almost heartbreaking guys, he said he hoped santa can still find his home, even though it's heavily damaged. we've seen parts of roofs ripped off, backs of houses just totally torn. and yet the nature of tornadoes, they come through, they just pick and choose where they want to go. so you walk down these blocks and you see some homes are relatively untouched. and others are just really devastated by the storm that went through here. you know, it's still not quite certain what this neighborhood the extent of the damage that this neighborhood has suffered. they will continue to canvas this area tomorrow morning and give more of an indication of exactly what they're dealing with here, but this neighborhood, you know, it's a neighbor that got hit by hurricane ida not too long ago. another tornado ripped through here.

more than a year ago. so, these neighbors are really just, you know, going through the worst right now. and hoping you know that it gets better here in the coming days. alison, and laura? >> so scary. nick, thank you very much. we've got a lot more to come on our breaking news. the massive deadly storm that sweeping the south tonight, unfortunately, the danger is not over yet. we'll have the very latest from the weather center, next.

okay, let's get back to our breaking news coverage of the deadly storms that have killed at least three people in louisiana. twisters touching down across the state, causing destruction for miles. more than 1:40 tornadoes have been reported across texas,

oklahoma, louisiana and mississippi in the last two days. >> tonight, there are more weather threats as the massive storm heads east now, -- is live for us the cnn weather center. what is the latest? >> we are still dealing with that tornado threat this evening, and through the overnight hours. although it is starting to decrease as well as the threat for hail, and damaging winds, look at this potential to that dark cloud. that is the tornado, we've had several reports as mentioned, 40 reports, all across the lower mississippi valley. most of that line has significantly weakened, the flooding threat, however, still exists as it moves across the florida panhandle. still dealing with thunderstorms, one severe thunderstorm warning until 11:00 central time for -- alabama. strong winds you, see the bow with a line there, that indicates the strong damaging wind threat. and still quarter sized hail possible with this. as it continues its track off to the north and east. the whole system taking its trek north and east and

bringing in that severe weather threat from florida up until the carolinas. over the next 24 hours. again, still holding that threat for stronger storms throughout the rest of this evening and into early morning hours tomorrow. mobile on up into parts of southern parts of alabama, and we're still holding that threat for a few tornadoes this evening. again, like i said, it is still starting to weaken. numerous reports of tornadoes, 44 reports, 23 severe wind gusts reports and six hail reports. again, that mentioned that severe weather threats across florida, more of a slight risk for damaging winds and large hail as we move into wednesday. the flooding threat becomes a little bit more likely in these areas we've already picked up 2 to 4 inches of rain, additional rainfall up to another 2 to 4 inches possible. just within the next 24 hours and moving on up into parts of the tennessee river valley and on the back end of this system, the snow threat not over with. still dealing with blizzard warnings on the north shore of lake superior and back into the

central plains, whiteout conditions are likely. alison, laura? >> we need to be careful, there thank you very much for all of that. let's bring in guy mcguinness. he's the president of saint bernard parish, tornado touched down earlier today. guy, thank so much for being here. we understand that ten people have had to be rescued in's -- your parish. tell us what that's been like? >> yes, alison, thank you for looking into us here in our parish. yes, we had ten rescues. it was a multiple type of issues, the sheriff and our fire chief was out there making sure that we can get our residents out of an apartment complex. we had a home are directly across the street from our chief administrative office, actually, was trapped in their home. we got them out. the child and some pets. we had about 50 or 60 structures that were heavily

damaged. by the storm. none totally damaged. as we know of yet. a little different than the ef3 that came through here in march in the same path in arabi. so we're blessed that, we have no serious injuries and we're gonna get to work tomorrow morning cleaning this up. we have resources from our governance, we spoke with john bel edwards tonight. and all of our representatives. we're ready to hit the ground running tomorrow. and get our community cleaned up, and we're thinking about other communities throughout our country really that are going through the same thing tonight. >> that's so important. guy, what do you need in terms of resources, given that this happened and your parish is no stranger, even this year, two tornadoes. what are the resources that are to be most beneficial to your community? >> the only thing we needed tonight was the governor to say,

you know, starter cleanup tomorrow, we have the money to pay for it. that's what we're gonna do, our power companies out there tonight trying to get power back. to the citizens of arabi. that's ongoing. most of them will probably be up tonight. tomorrow, will lurk on the most damaged areas. it's one of those things where realtime reporting from the media, national and local, save lives. i believe. i know it saved lives in march, it saved lives tonight. and to see the amazing, awesome actions of our deputies. i was with the sheriff when that tornado was coming across the river into her community. listening to all the deputies and coordination as that storm was coming was unbelievable. we were in the areas when we needed to be, and our citizens

were taking care of, there are upbeat. helping each other. we're gonna get through this through this holiday season. >> guy, or just looking at those images, we're watching the screen and seeing how that really is just scary tornado images there. i'm trying to get a sense of how much time you've had, when you're watching this coming, what is the amount of time you even had to prepare from the reporting to making sure that people had those signals going? >> yeah. you know, we were out and about driving around, trying to position ourselves, make sure we were ready to respond. we had an alert around 3:45 or so. that the storm would be hitting arabi around 406. from what i remember, it pretty much came across that river at four of six. i would say around 15 or 20 minutes, that our citizens had.

then time to hunker down. it most looks like most of them did. we are blessed because of that. >> guy, thank goodness for the coordination you spoke of among all the emergency responders in the deputies everybody. i know you're gonna have a long night, thanks so much for taking time to talk to us and we'll check back with you tomorrow. >> god bless. >> you too. >> okay, it's been ten years as you know since the sandy hook school shooting, tonight, one of those parents, who has harnessed her pain and anger will be here to help uvalde parents get through these unbearable days. not again... oh no... for the gifts you won't forget.

that's the white house there. lit up in green tonight, to mark ten years since the sandy hook school shooting that killed 20 children and six adults. we've seen some progress in those ten years, but we've also seen many more school shootings to a sickening degree. so, where are we tonight? well, joining us is scarlett lewis, she's the mother of six-year-old jesse lewis who was killed at sandy hook. and also with us our gloria and heavier -- their nine-year-old daughter jackie was killed in the uvalde school shooting in may. jacqui and lori and scarlett, thank you all for being here and being here together. i know, scarlett, that talking to you will be a comfort to all of us. particularly to this family. can you tell us what today has been like for you? how do you mark an anniversary like these ten years today?

>> today, i did actually what i do every day, and that is continue to work towards keeping our kids safe by speaking with educators and working on a proactive and preventative solution. today was no different than any other day. the workday for me, anyway. ten years is marking a significant time. and i wish i had made more progress, my heart goes out to the uvalde families, because as with sandy hook, that should never have happened. >> absolutely. scarlett, i just everybody knows, you have turned your pain into purpose. you have devoted these years to traveling around the world, you talked to school kids, you talk to educators, you talked everyone about trauma and spotting it and helping to

process it. i mean, you say you found your purpose. after all of the pain. so, in terms of the -- what can you say to them? where did they even begin to start processing this horrible pain? >> i mean, it's so difficult. and they're right in it right now. they're still in the investigation phase. and they're still sorting through so many mistakes that were made. and my heart really goes out to them. it is a long process, but i can tell you for myself, at some point, i just made a choice. and i thought about, you know, there is no playbook for parents who have lost children like we have. and i had to decide, i want to the rest of my life to look. and if i wanted to be another victim of a shooter, fighting

against something for the rest of my life, or wanted to be for something. and my son jesse had left a message on her kitchen table -- took after that. i decided to be for love. and it was the right choice for me. >> gloria and javier, where are you guys tonight? has anything gotten easier since may or harder? >> hello, thank you for having us. yeah, it's hard every day. doesn't get easier at all. >> it's much harder, i think. just like scarlett said, we're in the middle of it. there's investigations we do have to report yesterday, that was really difficult to hear. it just feels like it can't get worse, and then it does. >> yeah. i can only imagine the way uvalde has handled this, from a

looks like a cover-up's to the stonewalling to the incompetence that that obviously hasn't helped all of the pain. so, gloria and javier, what questions do you have for scarlett tonight? >> first of all, i just want to give my respect for your loss as well. i thank you for being out here and share your story as well. >> i think it brings some kind of comfort, i don't know if that's the right word, just because i can't picture myself tomorrow or next week little on ten years. i don't know. and it just brings some kind of comfort to know that know that you are able to move forward, not move on, but move forward. at least get through each day. >> you know, i absolutely remember wondering if i was going to survive. that was the level of pain.

i never wanted to kill myself, but i literally thought that i was going to dissolve and i. that is the amount of pain that i felt. i understand where you are, and i am ten years further along in my journey. at least nine and a half. and you do survive. >> revving issue issue with the static? >> can you hear,-esque lori? court >> will get them back, scarlett, i wanted you to talk about that. because i think we all feel that way. how do you survive. at what point did that turn around for you and you realize i will survive this? >> you know, honestly, it was another parent that had lost a child's to violence. i had never met anybody that had done that. and she started laying out the path of what my life was going to look like. that was not what i wanted my

life to look like. i realized right then and there, i was going to have to determine my path. it was going to be a choice. so i made a choice really to quit my job and devote my life to being part of the solution. it's very, very hard where that couple is right now. when you have people that are not taking personal responsibility for mistakes that they made. it's very hard to hold people accountable. i think that until we are able to hold people accountable, and also, what i've been trying to do for the last ten years, is address the root cause of the pain that leads to the violence. we have a billion dollar

industry that's gone up around hardening schools and hardening does need to happen, unfortunately, because that's where we are in our society. we have allowed it to get to that. until we address the root cause, we're never gonna get ahead of the problem. >> scarlett, because we're in the middle of the holiday season, christmas is coming up. obviously, we have the family back, this is their first christmas without jackie. what advice do you have for them? what can you share about that? >> christmas is difficult. i remember my first christmas without jesse, it was two weeks after the tragedy. and it was really difficult. i don't know if you all have faith, but i do. and that is why --

what got me through my faith that jesse and i would be reunited. i don't know how any bails could get through that. it is really difficult. >> gloria, how here? >> the first thing was her birthday, she passed on the 24th. her birthday was june 10th. that was the first hardest thing, that was very hard. the thanksgiving and now christmas, it's difficult. but you love to celebrate and we're gonna try and make it as i don't have the words. make it a special is we can. as hard as it is, will try and make it, we have to get through it. it's gonna be hard, we'll get through. >> yeah. >> and you will, i remember the

first holidays were really, really difficult. i thought about jessie's last message to his older brother, and he had left him this little note that jt had found when he was 12 years old. on his desk, it said, have a lot of fun. that's what we try to do before jesse died. that's also how we tried to honor him, even right after he died. we were celebrating his life. rather than mourning his death. we tried to focus on celebrating the life that he had, and who he was. to honor his legacy. but you will be spending the rest of your life, every single day, honoring your child's legacy. >> gloria and javier, i hope that it gives you some small comfort to see scarlet and see that she has been able to move

forward. obviously, you know, she carries jesse with her every day. but she has, as she has says, turned her pain into purpose. we're thinking of you and obviously we've been looking at your beautiful children throughout this segment. none of you deserve this, these kids don't deserve this, our country has to figure this out. take care. we will be in touch with you through the christmas holiday and really thank all of you for being here with us. tonight. >> thank you for having us. >> thank you. >> thanks, skyler. >> thank you. >> what a devastating yet important conversation to be witness to, i mean, just the idea, i'm always believing that people are, and sometimes on a collision course. and their fates so intertwined. and to have them interact in this way was so meaningful to so many people. >> i hope that is comforting to see somebody also survived something so unthinkable that she can go on and i hope that gives them small measure of comfort. but really, it's time.

it's time. they're going to have to live with this pain for a long time. >> my mother always says, life must go on. i forget sometimes just way. >> we'll be right back.

okay, have you noticed something about your newest coworkers? maybe you have a little bit of trouble communicating. alison, i don't know, not with

me -- >> different enervation. >> alison? what have you heard? >> i'm asking for a friend, a gen z friend. >> there's a generational issue. >> there's a generational issue. that's good. those little bit boomer ask, but we're not alone when we're thinking about this. the washington post has a quiz out it's called, cringe quiz. are you fluent in gen z office speak. i'm actually not. >> i feel we're living this right now. >> i'm not even gen z. >> let's take this, let's test this out. back with us we have elie honig, we also have emma goldberg our resident gen z are, here to interpret all of the stuff for us. and s.e. cupp is back with us. >> not a boomer. >> not a boomer. i'm gen x, i'm proud of eugenics, but you're not a boomer. -- >> didn't marjorie taylor greene talk to us about her sarcasm earlier? >> here's the point. i didn't know, emma, that i was
