>> good evening, everyone, i am laura coates, and this is cnn tonight. we begin with our set, breaking news. lisa marie pressley, elvis's daughter, dead at the age of 54. she was hospitalized after suffering and apparent cardiac arrest just today, after appearing at the golden globes on tuesday night, with the bass
11:02 pm
luhrmann film about her own father, won best actor for austin butler. lisa marie's mother, priscilla, putting out a statement tonight saying that it is with a heavy heart that i must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter, lisa marie, has left us. she was the most passionate, strong and loving woman i have ever known. we asked for privacy as we try to deal with this profound loss. thank you for the love and prayers. at this time, there will be no further comment. lisa marie was a celebrity from the moment she was born in 1968. she was the adored daughter of elvis and priscilla pressley, living her entire life in the spotlight. >> much more now with cnn entertainment reporter, chloe my loss. chloe, this is unbelievably sad news because many people just saw her on tuesday nights golden globes, many tuning in because of the first awards
11:03 pm
ceremony in a couple of years, and her own father being memorialized in this hit movie. what more can you tell us about that night and what has happened? >> laura, good evening, i was at the golden globes, at the beverley hilton hotel in the ballroom, seeded just a few tables behind lisa marie and her mother, priscilla. i immediately thought to myself when i saw her was that she just did not look like her usual glowing, bubbly, happy self. she looked a bit somber, and i also want to tell you, a few moments ago, we received a statement from the family representative saying that they are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved lisa marie. like you said, as for a statement that priscilla had released, they are profoundly grateful for the sport. this comes as a shock to so many because just a few hours ago, priscilla taking to instagram, asking for prayers
11:04 pm
and support, telling everyone that her daughter was rushed to the hospital. we know at cnn, that paramedics responded to a call at least summaries home in california for a possible cardiac arrest. no other details at the time as to what happened. like you said, it was a huge night for the pressley family, because bass luhrmann, like you said, in memorializing and immortalizing elvis, their father, her husband, priscilla's has been, on screen. austin butler doing this incredible portrayal and taken to the stage when he won his golden globe with this emotional speech, looking right at the table he was sitting with them that evening. i could only imagine how devastated he is. we have not heard back from him, but we reached out to austin butler for comment, and at one point, it looked like lisa murray was wiping tears from her eyes, and we know how much the movement to the family, and we know how much lisa marie
11:05 pm
champion austin butler and helped him get to know what all this really was like. >> chloe, we do have some footage and sound from her being interviewed on the red carpet before the golden globes even began. to your point about many looking at this moment and reflecting and wondering, was she okay at the point? listen to this. >> well, tonight will be a wonderful night four of us. >> yes, i hope so. >> i've got to know austin butler a little bit? >> yeah, a lot, actually. i adore him. >> when you first saw him, what did you think? >> you mean in the movie? >> yeah, just saw him in the roll. ? what >> i was mine blown, truly. i actually had to take five days to process it, because it was so spot on and authentic. >> what do you think the biggest challenge was? is it the singing, or are there certain characteristics to pull off a look, a twinkle or
11:06 pm
something? >> characteristics, mannerism, the singing, the talking without doing it in a caricature way, like it's been done in the past. it's kind of done in a funny joking way, the way he spoke, but austin actually got it and did it perfectly without making it comical. >> chloe, really important point perhaps why they were behind the actor and this movie and the importance of their father's life, a beloved has been and now what a difficult time for the pressley family. it was only a few years ago that lisa murray lost her own son to a tragedy. >> yeah and i just want to put out, in that interview with billy bush, she does not seem like herself. >> -- >> she seemed subdued. something does not seem right, and you heard stephanie elam earlier, with anderson, you heard michelle turner, from entertainment tonight earlier, who interviewed her as well on the carpet.
11:07 pm
they said something seemed off. i think all of us turn to the other and said, this does not seem like her usual self, but look, like you said, it's been a rough couple of years. losing her son benjamin to suicide in 2020, she opened up about in an essay in july. i want to read you a little bit about what she said. she said my heart and soul with you. the depth of the pain is suffering -- suffocating, without you, -- every moment of every day. she loved her son so much and like she writes, my heart and soul with. you we don't know what led to her death today, but we know it's been a profoundly difficult time. she is survived by three of her other children, riley being one of them, who is an actress. we still have not heard from them, but this is all just happened moments ago. again, we just saw her at the golden globes. it's been a big couple of months for the family with
11:08 pm
austin butler and all the rave movies for le mans elvis. we are about to have oscar nominations, this movie is definitely, in my opinion, going to be nominated. austin will be nominated. the oscars are in march, and this will be a huge moment for the family to be there together, and now this at this, another tragedy, that the pressley family so used to facing tragedy and grief in such a public way. >> chloe, thank you, and again, a mother with surviving children as well, what a devastating blow to this family. want to bring in sharon waxman, editor in chief of the wrap. sharon, so many people remember and know and are familiar with lisa marie pressley across multiple generations. you have those who remember when she was the young apple of the eye and twinkle in the eye of elvis presley and a young priscilla. people recall from generations of my own, including when she
11:09 pm
was married to michael jackson, another actor, nicholas cage as well. the idea of many people in different generations knowing her and then learning about her in her open way of talking about the grief that she experienced in 2020, and the loss of her son's life. she has been in the public eye, and here we are, learning that she has died, what is the reaction that you are hearing? >> i think people are really shocked in hollywood, and we're just seeing and a pouring of exactly that. first of all, there are people who just saw her at one of the newly back in-person events at the golden globes award seasons. it's been submitted the past few years. this, year of this is one of the movies that is with the celebratory and brings a way to go back to the movies, and it was interesting that the movie was backed by the pressley family, that they were supporting bass lemon, director,
11:10 pm
that they watched the film altogether with him for the first time, ahead of the movie's release. so it's really shocking, i think, that you will be hearing a story on the site that reflects the all across the time in. >> sharon, she was just nine years old herself when her father, elvis, died. in many respects, it seems as though she considered herself a bit of a caretaker of his legacy. is that right? >> yeah, i think so, and priscilla, her mother, of course, as well. i remember talking to lisa marie's daughter riley at the can film festival. this year, riley followed in the family footsteps of going into entertainment. she is an actress and directed a film for the first time at
11:11 pm
the can film festival. it was really striking when you meet the family with such a strong physical look that is passed down from office to lisa marie, riley has it, her brother had it as well. it's almost like you feel like you are touching a little bit of history when he met the family. she described how they all brought the movie together, and there was this real sense of excitement about elvis, i mean, when -- the director shows them. >> sharon, thank you. want to bring in a cnn contributor as well, michelle michelle turner. nichelle, we know that you are driving, thank you for being part of our breaking news coverage. we want to hear from you because not only are you a phenomenal entertainment reporter but also, you had a chance to actually speak with her at the golden globes, to observe her. again, we have no idea if there is any connection whatsoever to other how she appeared, her behavior, how she felt in any way on the night the golden globes, but it is our last
11:12 pm
ability to see how she was in the public eye this past tuesday. tell me, what was your impression upon hearing the news today? >> yeah, i'm glad that you make that clear because we don't know, we don't know the cause of death. we don't know any at that right now except for that she did go to the hospital today with it possible cardiac arrest, and now, we have subsequently known that she has passed away. when we did speak with her on sunday, my co-host kevin frazier and i, she definitely did not see 100%. she seemed subdued, she did not seem at full strength. i had to spoken with her a couple months earlier a hand and footprint ceremony in hollywood for her father, for the movie, for austin butler, and i can tell you it was night and day difference of how she was. she was very upbeat, very bubbly, very outgoing, joking, she was funny, all of those
11:13 pm
things. she did not seem that way on sunday. but she was happy to be there, to support the movie that the whole family was behind about her father's legacy to support austin butler, who she did care for a great deal and was so happy with his portrayal of her father. to support back as luhrmann, the director who is also nominated for a golden globe. it was going to be a celebratory night for them. they had also just celebrated her father's birthday, a couple days before. so, she talked about the, as well, about how special of a night it would be because they were celebrating her father's birthday, celebrating the success of the film and the actors portrayal of her father, but she did not seem to be her normal self. >> michelle, really important to get that context, and this is somebody who has been known as the daughter of elvis presley but had her own music career, open three albums. we will continue with more news after this, at the shocking death of lisa marie pressley at

11:18 pm
wilmington, delaware. here with me now in the studio, justice correspondent evan perez, former white house ethics norm eisen and alex burns is here with us as well. listen, there are new details. we've seen the timeline of when they may have known, when they did not know, what is happening, the point for many people today is that the public is just finding out, and they seem to have botched the pr component of this. evan, there was a moment where they could've talked about other documents being found. they haven't, and the white house press secretary today was very -- on that point, what do we know? >> we know that when they told us on monday about the initial batch of documents, what they described as fewer than a dozen, and they only described it as having been found biden's private office at the university of pennsylvania appear in washington, but they also knew about a second set of documents that have been found back in december, but they chose not to tell us about it
11:19 pm
and chose not to deal with it then. and the president went out and spoke about it in mexico city also, seeming to give the impression that there is only one set of documents that we were talking about. that's where this has become a big problem and a loss of credibility for the white house and for the president and his legal team. this is pr 101. if you have bad news, get out, get out once and then you don't have to fix it afterwards. the attorney general, certainly merck arland was facing a decision that was almost certainly where he was going to go because he got and recommendation from john lausch, the u.s. attorney in chicago, who said after doing the review for the last few weeks that it merited a special counsel. now, one of the things that i think we have to step back and think about are the documents. we are in these documents? >> what do we know in these documents? >> what do we know?
11:20 pm
jim you can get has done great reporting on this, certainly on the first set of documents. we now know that there is at least one of these being a memo from joe biden, the then vice president to president obama and at least two briefing memos, one of them having to do with a phone call that then vice president was going to do with the uk prime minister. another one having to do with the call that he was preparing to do with the eu council president. these are all things that put this a little bit in perspective. we don't know how sensitive this stuff is still, whether it still is at the highest level of classification, but obviously, these are documents that did not belong in these locations, including, of course, the presidents garage in wilmington, delaware. >> norm, what's your impression as to the decision to have the special counsel? i want to take a step back as well, because when you hear a special counsel, who we have heard so many times now with presidential administrations, not the least of which president trump.
11:21 pm
we're talking about two active special councils. >> director special counsels. again, we forgot about john durham. >> there is nothing special about john durham. that investigation has been a total flop. let's talk about the real special counsel here. they won looking at the mar-a-lago case, jack smith, and the news special counsel who has been appointed, rob hur. we don't have a time in history where you have had the former president and the current president being looked at this way, but there are -- the smith investigation and her investigation are two very different investigations, laura, and the one case, you have a sweeping investigation of a former president, who refused to return documents back, and documents that are reported to be -- contained some very serious
11:22 pm
information over, alternately, over 300 classified documents, including more than 100 that were held on to it had to be obtained through a search warrant? here you have full cooperation, the kinds of documents that if it's just what jamie gangel is reporting about, i saw these documents every day when i was in the white house, and when i was ambassador. never, i had a rule -- >> evan, it was a corvette and the garage was locked. >> we do not know that biden put them in the garage, a vice president of staff by a lot of people, i had a rule when i looked at a document, i read it at my desk standing up and then i gave it back to somebody else. i suspect here that we may find it is this somebody else's that were involved. so a very different situation between smith and her. >> i understand in terms of the legal nuance of, but is it appreciable for the general electorate? >> i think we're gonna find out. i think the outcome of the special counsel investigation
11:23 pm
is going to matter a lot more than the fact of the special counsel investigation, existing. so at the end of the day the lie that you're hearing for democrats including some democrats right here at this table right now is that one of -- this difference from going ten miles over the limit and 60 miles over the speed limit with a blindfold on. that's the distinction that democrats trying to draw between the biden and trump cases. we know that the trump case was really serious, we do not know that the biden case is extremely serious, but we do not know that it is not serious, either. there's a lot we do not know about the contents of those documents, the scope of what is being looked, out and what else the white house is not been entirely forthcoming about. look, i'm not a lawyer, i'm a political reporter, and the approach that i taste in the situation is that you need to be really sensitive to what you do not know. if we were to sit here and start prognosticating that there is gonna be a millstone around biden going into 2024 or it's gonna be a big get out of jail free card for donald trump, i do not know about either
11:24 pm
those things. i also do not know that biden can just rock these off because at the end of the day it was just a couple of briefing memos about phone calls. >> it is in many respects not shrug-able because it is spiraling in a way that was perhaps in dissipated or not. when we think about the trump administration we think about a lot of self inflicted wounds, a lot of a pr moments that, or things that were saturn outside correctly, or moments that invited greater speculation, opening pandora's box. when we look at this they've not answer the question as to let's just say or hedge in a political way, look, to the extent that there is anything out there, we will be diligent and sincere about our approach to alerting the authority. that did not happen. >> i think that is partly why a lot of us, certainly some of us who have lived these types of situations before, you get your spidey sense is up and there are just things that do not add up, right. look, again, the story that we have now settled on may well be
11:25 pm
the final story and charitably i would, say as a very difficult situation to be doing these searches, while you have investigations ongoing. >> by a story you mean that you are skeptical? >> the story that they have finally settled on, which is that they have done these searches, there are no more documents to be found anywhere else. this is something that robert and the investigators are going to want the biden team to attest to, probably. that you swear that there are no more documents anywhere else, and then we will see what the seriousness of this investigation really ends up being. >> what stage is robert her in? >> he's in the beginning stage, but he is taking over an investigation that did gather information -- under the u.s. attorney in chicago. mr. lush, and he is a very diligent and experience federal prosecutor. he was in the crucible in the trump administration, serving
11:26 pm
but rod rosenstein's side during some of those toughest years. so he's gonna go straight ahead. i think it is very important, and i actually agree with alex, i think it is important including for the special counsels for smith and her. they have to put binders on and forget what the other is doing and just decide these cases on the merits. we do not know where the biden case is going to go, but the initial indicators are that there is no intentional wrongdoing, no obstruction. if you look at the history of the presidents these are not the kinds of accidental documents cases that are charged. we will see if that changes. >> we'll see. we will also see on capitol hill about the pressure campaign that is certainly mounting for newly elected gop congressman, george santos. but he says that he is not going anywhere. so will the mountain of lies eventually become too much for most republicans, or even that want to ignore?
11:27 pm

11:31 pm
the embattled new york republican insisting that he is not going to knuckle, buckle under the growing calls for his resignation over the long list of lies that he is told about much of his entire personal and professional history. here he comes over the studio, karen finney, former rnc communications director doug, hi, and cnn political analyst alex burns look, how do you solve this problem? you have the pressure campaign that is mounting saying that you have to resign, you should resign, you ought to resign. yes, you can expel a member of congress if it is that two thirds concurrence, but it has to be the appetite and maybe if you are somebody like kevin mccarthy a bigger margin to lose. where do things stand right now? >> well i think that last point is the critical one, the margin of control is so tight that district that george santos represents is a democratic-leaning district. if there is a special election, republicans could not count on holding on to it and so if you are kevin mccarthy or if you are most of the republican conference, are you willing to
11:32 pm
reduce your margin for error by like, 20% in order to get rid of this guy? and the answer, at some point might be yes, but it is not there yet. if he ends up being a seriously prosecuted in brazil, if the financial improprieties that we seem to see -- in his campaign finance here become real criminal cases, then maybe we maybe get there. but right now, where you sort of have this embarrassing unsightly dishonest character in your conference, it is not like the first time in history that has happened in the house of representatives. >> by the, way we want to hear from george, george santos was actually on cnn's war room but matt gates was actually sent stepping in for steve bannon for that particular the host to roll. here's what he has to say about how he is not done much wrong. >> i wish we'll all of their opinions, but i was elected by 142,000 people, but until the same 200 and -- so i they don't want me, you
11:33 pm
will find it in two years. i've worked my entire, life of living on his life, i've never been accused of any bad doings. >> until now. >> unfortunately i could not hear this downed -- >> you didn't need to hear it. >> he wants to wait until hundred and 42,000 people tell him that he's got his pack is bags. >> because he knows that actually, constitutionally, even 142,000 people say packet, bags he is not have to go. that is part of what is so messed up about our system that you have, think about this, you have kevin mccarthy who is so reliant and i do think that this is gonna be an albatross around the gop's neck because if santos is going to be the gift that keeps on giving because all these cases are going to unfold a little bit at a time. but the margin is so thin, they cannot afford to get rid of, him but they are changing the nation of the ethics committee. so the ethics committee is probably not going to go through its normal process, or probably not gonna get that two thirds vote.
11:34 pm
>> let's talk about more about that, i think people are missing that particular point. all of the concessions that mccarthy made and the idea of the rules package of what that means, they have not as part of the ethics discussion, they have essentially taken away some of the democrats are going to phase them out, term limits right. the idea of having a certain window of time to staff more people were just going to lead to, a, not enough people to really carry out things potentially. >> not enough people to carry out things, to do the work of really coming forward with a case that says this is why, for two thirds vote. and unfortunately, constitutionally, is own constituents there is no process by which they can recall him the way we could a governor or impeach him. so they're kind of stuck with him for the next two years. >> alex raise the point of, this is a democratic-leaning district. but yes, it is going to be a bit of a crapshoot. republicans and -- nassau county, is it a better strategy
11:35 pm
to try to pressure him and hope that you can get a republican to replace him right now, as opposed to waiting two years from right now where you have that gives that kept on giving for two years. >> i will maybe a little counterintuitive here. george santos not feel any pressure design whatsoever. so what committees are gonna be, on steve scalise or nancy pelosi, the sky has no pressure to resign. in fact he is getting paid every two weeks right now, maybe for the first time in a, while so he's going to stay. there is no mechanism to remove him short of an expulsion vote, at which the last time it happened was after a member of congress had been found guilty of primary and racketeering. not, charged but found guilty. so if we want to let the legal process play, oh that is fine, that's gonna be awhile. even if these roles were not changed and house ethics, excuse, me it takes a long time. around 2013 or 14 a member of congress coming in the office
11:36 pm
that i was -- he had been arrested with drugs in the already said that he was going to resign. he said, i'm gonna change my mind, i'm not gonna go anywhere just yet, because there's no mechanism to remove him unless two thirds of the house wanted to. if i'm a democrat, i might want to stick around a little bit. it is good politics. >> really? >> condemn a, but let him stay. >> do you agree? >> for democrats is much much better to have him there and visible that into, certainly like an inoffensive generic republican in that seat. but i think democrats really like to have that seat. >> we would take the seat if we could. >> go really big in that special elections with different conditions related last remember. the fact that george santos won that race to begin with, it is no reflection on his sort of skills as a politician or the campaign that he ran, it was a red wave in the suburbs of new york city any happen to be the one who was on the ballot. would that happen again this spring or the summer? i definitely cannot count on.
11:37 pm
it will be embarrassing for republicans, this is a very tight majority that they have, there could be situations where the deciding vote matters of incredibly important policy is this guy, and that is just a bad look. >> i can't even say this. aside from the lying, what about the following the money notion? there is a discussion now about what $700,000 that he loaned to his own campaign, questions about, that he is refusing to answer, and by the way that gaetz was talking about that in a friendly interview on war room, but asking about that. he did not answer about the origins of this money and he says, almost tongue and cheek about it did not come from china it did not come from ukraine -- or burisma -- who is alluding to of course hunter biden. this is something that has likes? >> it certainly seems like it could. just by what we know about the various machinations of his finances, it certainly seems like that may be the case that has the most legs, teas, pick
11:38 pm
your metaphor, and addition to the situation in brazil. but the other thing i wanted to say is that i happen to know the person who ran against him, and i also have to know that this information about him was out there, and there are journalists who chose not to pursue the leads that were readily available. so i think we should also take a step back and recognize that the system failed on all fronts in terms of holding this person accountable for the things he was saying and the way he presented himself to the. voters >> did the opponents say that publicly about the information, or i was out there to find? >> in the course of campaigns sometimes information finds its way from one campaign to a journalist, and perhaps then it gets printed in a paper. in this instance, my that did not happen. >> candidates also have the capacity to raise money and then purchase advertising on television where they can air elevations like this. it's not just on the press. >> the reporters defending the
11:39 pm
journalist now. >> every time, it's not successful. >> it's funny how that works, but let's just say that -- you're the one who's not supposed to lie. putting that out there for a moment. there's an idaho murder suspect, brian kohberger, and he appeared in court today. he may have seen and he was shackled, in an orange prison uniform. i will tell you are that shocking cases going next in just a moment. quais vital to your mental, emotional, and physical health. and we know 80% of couples sleep too hot or too cold. introducing the new sleep number climate 360 smart bed. the only smart bed in the world that actively cools, warms, and effortlessly responds to both of you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful sleep per night. proven quality sleep. only from sleep number.

degree murder and today he waived his right to a speedy, probable cause hearing. the judge schedule that hearing now for late june. cnn's gary tuchman is in moscow idaho tonight, and we are also joined by dr. steven seeker, a psychiatrist with well coast medical corporation. gentlemen, thank you for joining me. i want to begin with you gary because, what can you tell us about today's court appearance? >> well laura, i can tell you right now that kohberger remains in the county jail in moscow and this building is also the courthouse, so we saw him in court remember one today. as you said he was wearing his jail suit, he was shackled. i think it is notable, i've been here for two hearings, now both times totally unemotional. if you're going into court and you face the possibility of the death penalty and that is ultimately what idaho gets to decide to do if he is found guilty, is given the death penalty, he might be freaked out, you might be crying,
11:45 pm
worried, he looks totally unemotional. then you have the family members of the victims who are in the front row of the victims. he did not look at them. there could be a preliminary hearing next week but his public defender wave the right to be the trial. so what is going to happen is that the jury will take place on june 26 i could last for up to a week. it is kind of like a mini trial, there's a low standard of proof needed to bind the defendant over trial, the judge just needs to hear sufficient evidence and prosecutors will release more evidence. last week we saw an affidavit, one of the things in the affidavit said that his dna was found on the knife sheath on the bed of one of the victims. that is overwhelming evidence that that is indeed true and a jury believes it because it plays isn't in the house. we will learn more about this, in june. >> one of the really important points is that idea of probable cause, not going to be a full, trial it's gonna be a time to figure out whether to have him
11:46 pm
remain in jail pending the old mid trial in this case. on that point about his emotion and where he was and what he was doing, was his own family in the courtroom today? i remember the first appearance before he was extradited over to idaho there is a moment where i believe he whispered back or mouths back in some way, i love you, to his own family. is anyone in the courtroom, aside from his public defender who is present there for the defendant? >> the courtroom was full, laura. mostly journalist and family members of the victims. there is no evidence whatsoever of anybody in that courtroom who loves kohberger. >> dr., seger i want to bring you in here because we are listening to gary's descriptions observations inside that courtroom. i wonder what goes through your mind, give us a little bit about what we know so far. he is a bachelors and masters, a ph. d. student in criminology. no previous run-ins as far as we know with a law. your psychiatrist, and i'm
11:47 pm
wondering what you make of the observations that people have had up until now about just who is the suspect? >> i've also worked as a forensic psychiatrist for five years, taking care of people who are mentally ill and criminals. the two questions are, -- people who do multiple murders. are you mentally ill, and the other is are you a sociopath criminal? the problem with him is that the standard in california is to do understand the nature of your crimes, and did you know it was wrong? usually people who do not understand what they're doing they are delusional, they think they are carving up watermelon and the calf of a person. the other thing is that it is either or. did you know what you are doing is wrong? clearly he did because he fled the scene, he had evidence, he went around. the case for being mentally ill is -- >> i just want to be clear though on this, so that we are
11:48 pm
very prudent and cautious on this and it is the prosecutor in me that appreciates the burden of proof that needs to be met. this is somebody who is suspected of this, crime has a presumption of innocence still, and is still a defendant in this action. but you have said that this crime that you have seen so far, and what we, now does not fit a pattern. it is kind of a unique one-of-a-kind case that you have looked at, tell me why. >> because you are either using these kinds of, a career criminal but you he has no arrest record, or your mental the ill. i was talking earlier to somebody where this is really kind of one-of-a-kind. this guy had no record, no brush with the law, no mental health system, and one day decided that he is going to hack these four women up with a knife. and that does not happen very often. so he does not fit in one of the two traditional sides. no one can make much sense of this and from the psychiatric point of view, he does not
11:49 pm
appear to be mentally ill. i cannot say that without talking to him, but he does not fit into the classic style of being mentally ill or a sociopath criminal. he just is pretty clean. i think he got a ticket for not wearing a seatbelt, and that is all they could dig up on him. >> well, there is still a lot of questions still to be answered about this defendant who again, is alleged to have committed these crimes of killing three women and a young man as well. so we will be eager as all of us to understand, no one more eager than the families of the victims who lost their loved ones, we will stay on this and better understand. june looks to be the next court appearance, so we have some time ahead of us. thank you gentlemen. we also know that there are deadly tornadoes ripping through the south, killing at least six in alabama and the threat still is not over. >> tech: cracked windshield? make it easy and schedule with safelite, because you can track us and see exactly when we'll be there. >> woman: i have a few more minutes. let's go!
