♪ the only thing i regret about my life was hiring local talent. if i knew about upwork. i would have hired actually talented people from all over the world. instead of talentless people from all over my house. top of the hour, this tuesday. i'm jim sciutto. >> and i'm erica hill. happening right now, we're following these deadly storms

pommeling the california coast. rescues underway in several parts of the state. you see the video here, mudslides and flooding. the impact is just massive. power knocked out to more than 230,000 customers, a number of roads are closed, some highways just impassable. and 14 people at least we know have died. we're going to take you live to california for the very latest. >> the pictures are incredible. plus president biden is facing questions this morning over his handling of classified material while he was vice president. this after his attorneys discovered documents, some classified, in a private office, those attorneys then returned them to the national archives. we'll discuss the impact but also how this case differs from former president trump's handling of classified documents. we do begin though with the deadly weather in california. where many areas now have seen more than a month's worth of rain in just the last 24 hours. 14 people have died at least.

>> we look at all of this, you mean you could see the impact there. not surprising that the heavy rain and flooding have forced vaccinations. it is also making it tough for people be trying to get to safety and you could see in this video here. kyung lah is covering this, first to you in the southern part of the state. you're there on the 101 freeway, no one commuting there. what are those conditions like? >> reporter: you know, it is really our first good look at what we are standing on. because the sun is just starting to peek out from behind the clouds. and this is the 101 freeway. you could see it is completely caked over in mud, there is water that is completely washed over this freeway and the reason why this is completely shut down and why this standing water is still there is because below the freeway is a ventura river. in just 12 hours yesterday, that river rose 17 feet.

so that is just giving you a snapshot of what we're seeing here in southern california. and in santa barbara, the airport there reports one day of rain that is higher than the average month of january. so just an incredible amount of water. and it is impacting tens of millions of people. i'm going to take a look behind and make sure no one is coming. we're seeing emergency crews beginning to move and down the 101 but they haven't been able to clear this yet because there is still so many emergencies happening. there is rain. rain is expected throughout the morning here in southern california. so, jim and erica, it is not over. the morning commute is still going to be happening. and there is a lot of concern about what is going to happen as people start to head to work. >> camilla, tell us what you're seeing where you are there and are the waters expected to rise again? >> reporter: hey, jim. yeah, a very similar situation.

a lot of standing water and a lot of clean-up in this area. if you take a look at the street. same scenario as kyung. you could see how much water is over the neighborhood. house after house having to deal with all of this. and unfortunately there was nothing they could do to stop that water. i talked to some of the residents yesterday who were telling me i wanted to put the sandbags out and i didn't but it made no difference because the water still got into the homes here and in many other communities across santa cruz county. there is 32,000 people in this county that are under evacuation orders. the sheriff's deputies going door-to-door telling people to evacuate their homes, to leave immediately because of the dangerous conditions. you don't want to be in your home when it is like this. and not just the water, but you're also losing power in many of the areas. we've seen crews working to restore that power.

but it is everything put together that makes it really difficult for those residents. i talk to people yesterday who told me, look, i'm just so tired of cleaning up, of going through the rain. because it is coming closer together in terms of the time frames. a storm after another storm. and so people are frustrated, people are tired and it is becoming very dangerous. just like in many other parts of the state, they're telling people, if you do not have to travel, do not get in your car. because, again, the streets look like this. so it is much better to stay home, to try to be as safe as possible because, yes, more rain is coming in the next couple of days. and so, they're starting to do anything they can to prepare for that next storm already. jim and erica. >> no question. speed is of the essence, thanks so much to both of you. another story we're following closer this morning. sources tell cnn just now that president biden and his white house legal team do not know what is in the classified

documents, all from his time as vice president that his lawyers found in his private office last fall and then returned to the national archives. >> we're told it is less than a dozen documents. what is in them? >> paula reid joining us now with more. what do we know this morning about these documents? >> in order to understand what is it going on here, let's go back a few years. between the time that biden was vice president and before he became president. 2017 and 2019. he's a professor at the university of pennsylvania and he has an office here in d.c. now just a few weeks ago, november 2nd, his lawyers were cleaning out this office and they uncovered what they say are fewer than a dozen classified documents. they say they immediately did what they were supposed to do, which is notify the national archives which we're told took possession of the documents the next day. the justice department has appointed the u.s. attorney in chicago to review this and to do a damage assessment. and what is notable is that the u.s. attorney in chicago is one of only two trump-appointed u.s.

attorneys still serving in government. the other one is a u.s. attorney in delaware who is overseeing the investigation into the president's son. now the biden team, they say they are fully cooperating with the justice department, fully cooperating with the archives and while that lays out what with he know, the facts from our reporting, we still have a lot of questions. among them, why did they go to this specific office on this specific date, just a few days before a critical midterm. why did they send lawyers and why did they let this get out to the press and not get out ahead of it. >> and you know classified documents found in a private office. tell us what the differences are between this and trump's handling. >> so in the mar-a-lago case, that really does appear to be a much more complicated case. it is a full blown criminal investigation. first off, we're talking about a different volume of information, right. fewer than 12 documents versus hundreds of documents. the level of cooperation, trump was not very cooperative, refused to hand over many of the documents until subpoenas were obtained. and then also the nature of the

investigation. they're doing a damage assessment, the u.s. attorney in chicago, but when it comes to the former president and mar-a-lago it is a special counsel investigating the possible justice and other crimes. >> not cooperative, but resistance to cooperation. >> yeah. >> which we'll see if they have legal implications. paula reid, thank you so much. joining us now to discuss, cnn political analyst jesse kucinich and john kim. nice to see you both this morning. as we look at this, your going to see paula laid out the apples-to-apples part of this and the apples to orange part of this when we talk about what is found in the locked office of president biden and what was found at mar-a-lago with former president trump. is there a sense this morning that the white house has a handle on this, in terms of what

the story is? >> well in terms the procedures that they followed, obviously as paula pointed out, they did what you're supposed to do when you discover these documents. his personal lawyers contacted the white house council office immediately which then contacted the national archives which we pointed out is significantly different from what those around trump did. but i think what the white house is grappling with this morning is that there are still a lot of questions that we in the media, that the public rightly have and president biden is in mexico and facing the president this afternoon when he stands with the other two leaders from canada and mexico at the so-called three amigos summit and he's going to face some tough questions and particularly on which, if this happened in november, right before the midterm elections as we should point out, why the public other learning about this now. why wasn't this disclosed by his attorneys and certainly we have a lot of other questions about what particularly were in those documents. and several other questions as

well. >> jackie kucinich, there is the legal questions here, particularly with the obstruction and then the political questions and the attorney general has to make decisions about a number of cases involving trump and politics are part of that judgment. as a practical matter, does this change or influence or cause pause, right, in the mind of the attorney general as he considered various cases, including the classified documents case against trump. >> i think this is why he referred it to another office. he didn't want that conflict of interest. but again, i think you mentioned politics. none of these facts that are meticulously laid out are going to matter for house republicans. they are going after this, and you heard them equate is to what happened with former president trump and even though it is a apples to oranges situation.

even sat a casual glance at this point. however when you're talking about a house majority that is launching all sorts of investigations into the biden administration, you have to imagine this is going to be very much top of mind. >> as we're watching all of this play out and we hear more from republicans and wee se're seein things happen in congress. i was struck just a short time ago we heard from dusty johnson and other republicans who have said in terms of george santos, there needs to be a full and complete investigation from the house ethics committee, democrats calling for this as well. sundland, where does that stand and how much appetite does mccarthy have for listening to some of this -- some of those in his own conference who say there needs to be in investigation. >> well there is a lot of pending investigations an calls for investigations into george santos. we're talking about requests made to the ftc and attorney -- state attorney investigations in new york and federal investigations. we're talking about a potential

house ethics committee investigation. so there are a lot of inquiries that george santos is going to face in his first months of congress, however long his service -- his tenure in congress goes. but i think what those investigations do is actually give a little bit of leeway for now speaker kevin mccarthy to defer to those investigations. when he faces reporters later this week he'll be asked questions about congressman santos, whether he should leave congress, whether he should get committee assignments. what should happen to those investigations. and i think what leadership will let the probes play out in whatever forum they go. the problem with a lot of the investigations certainly with the house ethics committee, that they could go on for a very long time and never really reach a consensus. and in that house rules package, house republicans weakened the ethics apparatus of the house. so, it will have to see -- the impact when it comes to investigating one of their own.

>> i was just going to say that. that is part of the changes in the rules package. jackie, as happens when you have divided government like this, there are a lot of symbolic votes in the gop controlled house that will go nowhere because democrats control the senate and the white house and there will be a ways that they have genuine ability to move or block things. what is in that category? >> in terms of what they're able to genuinely block, there are rules within this rules package about how they're going to treat the debt limit for example. they're going to try to use it to -- to have spending cuts and i think that is a great concern to the white house, and to the fed and to a lot of the parts of the government and outside of government, how that debate will be handled. but they've been very bullish about that. since taking the majority. and but they're also -- even if they can't do anything about it, i think particularly as you see certain members of jason smith

for example taking the helm of a ways and means, he's more populous and he's promised oversight over the. >> -- over to the irs. and so we're going to see increase into that. >> jackie, sundland, thank you so much to both of you. still ahead here, new dye tails in the case of a missing massachusetts mother of three. authorities now say her husband was reportedly searching online for among other things how to dispose of a woman's body. we'll have the very latest from massachusetts. plus another disturbing story. the gun allegely used by a 6-year-old boy to shoot his teacher at a school in virginia had been legally purchased by the child's mother. we're going to hear from a grandmother that was there when the shooting happened and helped the wounded teacher. rotein for muscle health versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high proteiein.

law enforcement sources tell cnn the husband of a missing massachusetts mother of three searched online for how to dispose of a woman's body, 115 pound woman's body and also looked for information about how to dismember a body. anna walsh hasn't been seen since early new year's day. her husband brian has been charged with misleading investigators and now they found a bloody knife in the couple's basement. >> then investigators searched a trash facility in massachusetts. pictures there for evidence linked to anna walsh disappearance. police say they recovered several items there and are now testing them for potential connections to the investigation. criminal defense attorney and cnn legal analyst joey jackson joins me to discuss. you've been involved in a lot of cases here, innocent until proven guilty but some signs here. the $450 in cleaning supplies the next day. lying to investigators.

the searches online. what does that add up to you so far? >> yeah, good morning, to you, jim and erica. it adds up that they're really building, that is authorities, for the potential of a murder case. now we don't know that yet. the body has not been found. if there is a body. obviously there are a lot of people including her three children ages 2 to 6 and her co-workers in washington, d.c. that are playing for her safe return. but authorities, as we look for the timeline of the search have to do their due diligence and anticipate based on what you raised which is the circumstan circumstantial evidence with regard to internet searches of how do you dispose of a 115 pound body with respect to misleading investigators and with regard to him saying she left to go to d.c. and not there. they have to plan for the worst. i think that is what they're doing and that indicates to me that they're preparing and planning for a potential murder case. >> joey, so he's being held

right now for giving misleading statements but held on half a million dollars bail. which seems really high for that charge. is this part of we have to hold him on what we have now while that search continues? >> yeah, that is precisely right. and i think what authorities want to do, erica, is to keep him really close. and that is that they want to, as they conduct this search and the information, all right, we know they recovered in the basement a knife with dna and we know about the searches and him misleading investigators and him attempting to run them off the path and we know about what we saw before which is authorities searching for trash and other things. what they want to do is ensure that they have eyes on him so in the event this escalates to a fact where there is a death here, that they could prosecute him and he's gone nowhere and that is what that is all about. and they could not charge at this point murder.

you you can pursue a murder case in the absence of a body but they want to leave no stone unturned so if that becomes that, they're ready and willing and able to move forward with a vigorous prosecution. >> now one interesting detail here is he was wearing an ankle bracelet prior for fraud charges, federal fraud case i believe. does that factor into, well, for instance, their ability to hold him? >> well i'll tell you what it factors into. because of that fraud case, he was required to report, right, when he leaves the home. and he has to be given permission when he leaves the home. of course, he left the home is the indication during a time where he admitted to pick up his kids and that is the time that they found out he was getting cleaning supplies. and so why were you getting cleaning supplies. of course people could clean their home, they do often, right. but it certainly seems coincidental that you're leaving the home when should be on home

confinement as a time that you were otherwise permit the to do it. the kids did not have school that day and if you're on probation in connection with another case it does not bode well with you answering up for whether or not these charges ultimately could be elevated to something more significant. >> just alarming all around. >> yeah. it really is. and a lot of questions this morning. not just about where she has gone. but also about what may or may not be known. joey, appreciate it as always. thank you. in you this morning, the chief of police in newport news, virginia, tell cnn that it is a possibility that the mother of the 6-year-old boy who shot his teacher in school last week could herself face charges. >> police say the mother legally bought the gun the child used in that shooting. and that the boy had put the gun in his backpack, brought it to school. brian todd has been following these new details for us. what more are we learning?

>> reporter: well, erica and jim, one of many important questions is why hasn't the mother been charged already. the police chief steve drew as you relayed saying that it is certainly a possibility that she could be charged but drew also said they have to talk more with investigators. they have to talk more with child protective services and with the attorney's office before possibly charging the mother with any possible crime in this case. you know, we know that the handgun was left at the house. that the child obtained it and put it in his backpack and took it to school. but how the child got that gun, whether it was secured, we asked those questions of the police chief yesterday and he was not able to answer them as of yesterday. we've been talking to a lot of other people involved in this case including someone hailed as a hero this morning. la wanda sample rush is a grandmother who was there at the school that day to pick up her two grandsons and she was in the main office when the shooting occur and helped administer first aid to the teacher shot,

abby zerner as she came into the office bleeding. here is what she had to say to us. >> the teacher that was shot, she came into the office saying that she had been shot. she had blood on her hand and blood on her shirt. and she said that she had been shot. my first instinct, being a mom and a grand mom, was to run down the hallway. and that was my first instinct. and i was about to go down the hallway. >> reporter: but she stayed in the office and helped administer first aid to abby zerner when she was bleeding and la wanda told us that abby zerner came in bleeding saying call 911 and she passed out after sitting up. it was a very dramatic scene. a couple of other people hailed as heroes. people are citing the teacher as being a hero because she made sure that all of the students got out of the classroom when the shooting occurred.

police say that abby zerner was the last person to leave the classroom before she made her way to the office to seek help. there is another school employee being hailed as a hero. not talked about too much but this school employee rushed into the classroom as the children were rushed out and restrained the child who had committed the shooting until police got there. and the police told us that the child became combative and struck that school employee. but the employee was able to restrain the child until the police got there. police got there very quickly. but that person is a hero as well this morning, guys. >> 6-year-old with a gun. brian todd, thank you so much. coming up, the white house is preparing new measures now to slow or attempt to slow a growing surge of migrants at the southern border. we're going to discuss with texas congressman vicente gonzalez, that is just ahead. ovt means the smoothing benefitsts of retinol are now for your whole body. plus, fast-working crepe e corrector diminisheses wrinkled skin in just two days.

in the next hour, president biden will meet with canadian primary justin trudeau, one-on-one, part of the north american leader summit being held in mexico city. the issue of immigration a big one at the summit. >> and it is always a big issue back here in washington. at home, of course. the white house preparing to roll out a new plan aimed at curbing the surge of migrants at the southern border. m.j. lee is traveling with the president and in mexico city. so just refresh our memories,

what is the details in this plan. >> reporter: well, as you both noted, this issue has been a very big one for president biden back at home. and now has been a major issue here in mexico city at the north american leader summit just in a little bit we're going to see the president meeting again with the canadian prime minister and the president of mexico to discuss this and many other issues. and what we will be seeing is an announcement from the administration to roll out a virtual portal, this is being described by administration officials as sort of a one-stop shop for migrants and asylum-seekers who could hopefully go to this platform and figure out whether there are legal ways for them to enter countries like the u.s., canada and mexico. we are also told that there are efforts being made to build physical resource centers, including in southern mexico, again the idea there, too, is to give a resource -- more

resources to migrants to go to the centers and figure out how could i legally migrate to a place like the united states. all of this sort of goes to show that the u.s. believes that there needs to be a coordinated effort, that the u.s. needs to work with partners in the region like mexico, like canada to deal with the situation of migrants trying to cross the u.s. border at record numbers. and i think it is important to note that back at home, you know, there are going to be some mixed responses to some of the new measures being rolled out, particularly since we don't have the full details yet. we don't know how effective they're going to be and there have been some concerns raised about the fact that often times when the migrants, asylum-seekers are coming to the border without taking the proper measures to try to apply for as asylum, they are are doing that because the situation back at home and the situation they're trying to leave behind is so

dire and so desperate. would we'll see how the fthree leaders talk about this this afternoon. but back at home for president biden, this a huge political liability for him. >> it absolutely is. m.j., appreciate it. thank you. joining me now, democratic congressman vicente gonzalez of texas who joined president biden on his trip to the u.s./mexico border over the weekend. good to have you with us. >> good to be here. >> as you know president biden was criticized about the trip that he didn't meet with any migrants while visiting that center in el paso. do you believe it was a mistake for the president? >> no it was a very effective productive day on the border for the president. he got to visit the border and meet withrd boor patrol and customs agents on or border. got to discuss detailed processes of what migrants go through and got to see what trade and drugs that are being

interdicted on our border, how they're being processed. so it was a very effective trip for the president. also you have to remember, secretary mayorkas was with us. he has traveled along the border. he's very knowledgeable and he's briefing the president regularly. we -- he had three members of congress and myself and two others with him. so we've been able to brief him on what we've been dealing with and i talked about the safe zone act which is another proposal on top of the administration to try to improve conditions along the border and make it a more orderly process for people who seek asylum. >> and i want to ask you about that safe zone act. in terms of who was there, your fellow texas congressman tony gonzalez, a republican said he wasn't invited to the trip at the southern border but had asked to do. was that a missed opportunity for president biden? >> well we had a lot of members that want ed to come and it was limited space to come and visit but tony and i talked on the floor and discuss the border

regularly. >> would it have helped to have a republican there? >> republicans were there on the ground. people that we talked to. donald trump used to come regularly to me border. he never invited me along. so that just happens. but we always work in a bipartisan way. this bill that i'm talking about the safe zone act is a bipartisan bill and we'll continue reaching across the aisle and talking to our republican friends. >> so in terms of the bill, so currently under current u.s. immigration law, they have to be present or at the border to claim asylum. they can't do it in another country. part of the safe zone act that you're proposing would change that. allowing them to apply for asylum before they get close to the southern border. >> that is right. >> how much support do you in congress for -- >> we're going to have a lot of support for this bill. i had to discuss it with the president and i'm discussing with president in guatemala next week and it creates a zone in guatemala as the first pilot

program for migrants south of the border to come up and process at that juncture, very similar to what they do in my district. this is done in partnership with other countries. have them process their asylum claim 1500 miles from the southern border. it takes the pressure off our border, one, and allowing border patrol and law enforcement to do their job and it takes the cartel element out of it as well. these migrants that show up to my border are paying between $6,000 and then $8,000 a head to get to the souther border. so cartels have made billions of dollars traveling migrants to the southern border and this safe zone act does just that. it is a bipartisan bill. i have a meeting with republican members today to discuss it and it is very humane for people who care about migrants. why should we force them to walk 1500 miles and pay women and children to be pillaged if we're going to allow them in under the low standard, let's doo it from

another place. >> we look forward to an update after that meeting later today with republicans. so feel free to fill it us. we're getting tight on time but as you know, immigration is a broad problem. it is also in some ways perhaps better politically for lawmakers not to work on solving this issue. >> well, some people -- >> well let me ask you, do you believe there is one point, whether it is your safe zones act or something else, is there one item in this broad list, this list of potential action items that fall under immigration, that you could see some real bipartisan movement on in this congress? >> well, if you look at the proposals that biden as just from a policy perspective and how we're going to deal with migrants one of them on the list is anyone who seeks asylum who transited through another safe country must ask for asylum there. i've been saying this for years. i had eastern europeans that were in paris and rome and

madrid to ask for asylum. people coming north stop in costa rica and panama, mexico which is somehow still considered a safe country. other places where they could ask for asylum and they should be required to do so. >> so you believe that particular point could have broad bipartisan support? >> i really do. it makes sense. if we don't make this political we could fix it. this -- what is happening on the border is not a democratic or a republican problem. it is a american problem that requires all of us engage in a meaningful way and resolve it. >> listen, they are great points. i wish you great luck in not making it political. because you're right, it is an issue that needs to be dealt with for all americans. appreciate you joining us this morning and we look forward to that update. >> absolutely. thank you. still tom could come, thous new york city works are still off the job as the strike entered a second day. workers at one hospital say the travel nurses have not yet shown

negotiations at a standstill as new york city nurses, thousands of them entering the second day of a strike. >> more than 7,000 nurses walked out of two major hospitals citing low pay and long hours and what they say is insufficient and unsafe staffing levels. vanessa yurkevich is covering this in new york. so where do the negotiations stand this morning?

>> reporter: good morning, jim and erica. negotiations are stalled. both here at mt. sinai and at monty hospital miin the bronx. the main sticking point is safe staffing. that is the ratio of patients to nurses. nurses on the picket lines right now growing frustrated that there have been no movement on these negotiations. and this is just not a new york city issue. this is an issue that is happening across the country. with these unequal ratios of patients to nurses. that in turn creates a situation where it is really hard to hire nurses and that creates labor shortage and then perpetuates this issue of ratios. it is a vicious cycle, jim and eric erica. >> so we know that hospitals had some warning of the strike and tried to make efforts to replace the nurses during this time.

is that working? >> reporter: right, well, new york city and the hospital system at both hospitals say that their bringing in traveling nurses and that there is no issue with staffing inside of the hospital. however, two nurses that we spoke to were working shifts yesterday said that they haven't seen these traveling nurses on their floors. that their experiencing ratios of three nurses to 30 patients. when it should be one nurse to every four patients. and they're saying that this is creating a safety issue for patients. and they're saying that patients are growing nervous over this. one nurse telling me yesterday that she didn't know if she would come back to work today because it was so unsafe for these patients. and she could potentially lose her medical license if something went wrong. now, of course, the hospitals telling us in response, they are bringing in the traveling nurses to help staff up when these nurses are out here on the

strike line. they're telling us this morning that they would rather be inside, however, they're fighting out here for the very issue they feel like would be better for their patients in the future, jim and erica. >> nursing make so much of a difference in care. thank you so much. well if you haven't already given up on your new year's resolution to try to eat healthier, i have faith in you. it is only january 10th. and there may be a new approach. there is a new study just released which explains how you could eat to live longer. >> the donuts i had this morning, no one saw it happen. >> they're on that list. >> so let's bring in dr. tara narula. people have known eating healthy is go for you. i suppose, what is new in this study that people should take away with it. >> well the donuts are not on the the list. let's be clear. so this is one of the longest studies to look at the idea of

dietary patterns and how that translates into your risk of dying. so they looked at over 70,000 women and 40,000 men and they gave them food questionnaires every few years and followed them for about 36 years and they found that those who had the highest adherence to four different healthy dietary eating plans or pattern had a 20% lower risk of mortality. they also looked across the diseased spectrum and found that this lower mortality related to decreased cancers and more and more data to point us in the direction that nutrition really matters in terms of our health. we think of medications and procedures but something as simple as food could just have such a tremendous impact. >> okay. you could boil it down for us. give us some basics here. >> yeah. the four eating patterns we're talking about were pretty similar. they all really focus on fruits,

whole grains, vegetables, legumes, much more plant-based and limited meat and things like added sugar and saturated fat. but it promotes the idea of flexibility. so a lot of times people think which is the one diet i have to choose and this is saying you could pick from these four. you could start as late as you want in life. i really promote starting early in childhood setting these patterns down but again food is medicine to important to emphasize that. >> and you were a cardiologist and i was joking, wine has a lot of benefits. but when we look at all of these foods, this is to live longer, there are a lot of heart benefits here, too. what are your go-tos. >> i i talk about the mediterranean or vegetarian or dash diet, to stop hypertension, these are all really good but the mediterranean run is easy to do. you think about eating like you do if italy or greece.

>> maybe we should go to italy or greece. >> i was going to say, the easiest place to follow that diet is in italy or greece. so book your travel. >> i'm available to go do so research. >> me too. >> so there we go. well dr. narula, thank you, we'll see you at the airport. well i'm going to take that heart. donuts be damned. another story we're following, setback as virgin rocket sadly fails. you see the images there. we're going to take a lolook at what went wrong. they customize your car insurance.... ...so you only pay for what you need!
