9:01 pm
against u. s personnel in syria over the course of the past 36 hours ago or so the first of those attacks was a one way drone attack a suicide drone attack in northeast syria that left one u. s contractor dead and six u. s personnel injured. five of those are u s service members. they're in stable condition at this point. then later on in the evening, there were 10 rockets fired at a green village site in central or eastern syria, right about that part that led to note. injuries but when the u. s retaliated, we saw two more attacks over the course of the past several hours a rocket attack at nearby kanako field again in central or eastern syria. that left one u. s service member injured in stable condition and another drone attack, two of which were intercepted. two of those drones intercepted one got through and damaged facility there, john. it's been a long time since we've seen attacks of this nature and how quickly these have come in syria. you mentioned the u. s. retaliation described that and just the one attack at this point or as the u. s. talked about another
9:02 pm
retaliation. so far, we've only seen the us responded that first attack the drone attack that left the u. s contractor dead that targeting facilities used by groups with links to iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps. but president joe biden made clear there may be more responses as the us watches this escalate. here is biden. to make no mistake. the united states does not does not emphasis seek conflict with iran but be prepared for us tracked forcefully protect our people. that's exactly what happened last night. the commander of us central command made the same point at the u. s. has options and capabilities to respond. should this continue, and john, if you look at it right now, if you look at the past several hours, it very much is continuing or their what? some 900. u s service members in syria. how often do they come under attack? far more often than you might think general eric gorilla, the commander of us central command, testified just yesterday. it's just the
9:03 pm
beginning of 2021. there have been 78 attacks carried out by iranian proxies in the region, using either rockets or drones since the beginning of 2021 that averages out to one attack nearly every 10 days against u. s forces there, so this happens fairly frequently. what's not frequent is when you see us service members injured and u s contractors killed and that's why it seems the us maybe. respect. maybe it feel for to respond again after those first strikes. right or liberal and keep us posted because there seemed to be developments every hour or so here, joining us now cnn military analyst and retired army lieutenant general mark hertling. general. let's start with the mere fact of this new round of strikes on u. s forces . what does it tell you that us troops were hit after president biden ordered that retaliation? john it's fascinating because as i heard you say earlier this morning, it was surprising. i think to a lot of your listeners that there had been 78 tax since
9:04 pm
january of 21. that's truthfully typical for these kind of combat jumped. rockets and missiles are fired arbitrarily near us bases attempting to intimidate and harass. they very rarely hit. but in these cases what you had is a drone. that was the first strike two nights ago and now additional strikes that seem to have ramped up, so you're probably going to see a ticket for cat between the strike that was conducted by the to us f 16 that hit. uh excuse me, f fifteens that hit ammunition storehouse and an intel collection site in northern syria as part of her proportional response, and usually what happens? happens after that. these islamic militias will iranian militias will come back and attempt to harass some more if it's rocket and ballistic missile attacks, most of them do not hit anywhere near the targets. they are very
9:05 pm
poorly aimed and not very accurate. the thing that concerns me is the increasing use of these militias using drone strikes the so called kamikaze or suicide drums. that is more precise and they can aim them in. most of these bases like our l z and the green village, which oranges talked about have good air defense capability for these kind of things. but in the first case what occurred the other night when that when that that base was struck, there evidently is, the pentagon reported one of the avenger missile systems was down for a reason, and it could be mechanics. warfare is not perfect. and you bring up the same point general wesley clark did with me this morning. the fact of the strikes isn't new. it's to precision. which seems to raise the stakes here in his worth watching. how much communication do you think general occurs between iran and these proxy groups believed to have carried out the strikes? a lot, you know, and john truthfully, i have experience with this from our time in iraq . my boundary of my divisional headquarters was on the border
9:06 pm
of iran, and they were constantly pushing things across the border into the into their militia groups. now they have plausible deniability. this is not being done by the iranian government, but it's certainly being done by people who are supported by the iranian government, both with weapons and other kinds of equipment. you can't pinpoint it, but certain only they are connected . and when you're talking about the fight in northern syria and the fight against the kurds, these these provincial militia are these popular front. militia groups are certainly wanting to continue that fight against the kurdish forces. and, of course against the u. s. general what's your main takeaway from president biden's really two pronged response here on the one he did order the retaliatory strike. on the other hand at the press conference, he emphasized that he does not seek conflict with iran. if these attacks continue with precision, do you think the u. s will have to escalate its response there is going to have to be continued proportional escalatory response
9:07 pm
against those using the weapons , john and it was interesting to me watching general carillon who's a good friend as saying, you know he would not implicate or iran itself into these, uh attacks. he was talking about the militias. so yeah, it's not going to be a state versus state, even though we're going to probably continue to do marsh and send warning signals to iran is the president did today, but i certainly believe that there will be proportional responses against the militia forces and those are easy to attack. we have had less forces in northern syria over the last couple of years. i think we're going to probably see more activity against the militia forces. is that are fighting against the kurds. general hertling. if anyone understands the situation, it's you. thanks so much for being with us tonight. thanks, john. so now the former president, he is once again, raising the specter of violence and inciting his followers. and he didn't even lose an election
9:08 pm
this time. no this time he was up at one a.m. last night, attacking a local prosecutor, calling him a degenerate and figuratively unleashing the dogs of war on the entire country. what does that suggest about how he sees his situation and the larger legal storm he's facing. some clues to be found in what he posted at one this morning on his social network about manhattan, d, a alvin bragg and potential charges in the stormy daniels hush money investigation . he asked how it can happen. one quote. it is known by all that no crime has been committed and also known the potential death and destruction. in such a false charge could be catastrophic for our country. why and who would do such a thing? his conclusion only a degenerate psychopath that truly hates the usa. now this comes a day after he called brag an animal and posted this photo of himself getting ready to swing a baseball bat next to a photo of bragg and just today, brags office received a package containing white powder and a
9:09 pm
threatening note. now the powder thankfully proved to be harmless. certainly less toxic than some on both sides of the aisle say the rhetoric is twice impeached. former president's rhetoric is reckless. reprehensible and irresponsible . it's dangerous. and if he keeps it up, he's gonna get someone killed. that's house minority leader hakeem jeffries . his republican counterpart, steve scalise, said there is no place in america for political violence of any kind. but he also echoed the former president , accusing brag of carrying out in his words a political vendetta and jim jordan chairs the house judiciary committee dodged the question entirely when shown the post by a correspondent for nbc chairman jordan told him in the correspondence words. he can't read well without his glasses were the former president. apparently can though especially , it seems the tea leaves because the manhattan case is only one of many and they all seem to be coming to a head. especially this week. the
9:10 pm
federal documents investigation with his defense attorney, evan corcoran, back before a federal grand jury today without attorney client privilege to shield him from potentially damaging questions. there's that, and now we're ruling that all of these former close aides cannot use executive privilege to avoid testimony before the january 6th grand jury put it all together, and there's plenty to keep anyone up at night and tomorrow the former president has a campaign rally in waco, texas. as we approach the 30th anniversary of this, the fbi raid on the branch davidian compound a time and place an incident that has become a touchstone for violent anti government groups and individuals. and the trump campaign says it is a coincidence. the houston chronicle today called the choice of location not just a dog whistle, but quote blaring air horn of a mac 18 wheeler end quote to extremists. joining us now is someone who saw trump incited mob up close on january 6th, former republican congressman and senior political commentator for cnn, adam kinzinger, also cnn's senior law
9:11 pm
enforcement analyst, and former deputy fbi director, andrew mccabe and cnn chief correspondent caitlin collins. kate let me start with you how the former president's death and destruction comments being viewed inside the trump camp because just days ago, his allies and advisers were privately urging him to tone down the rhetoric. yeah they obviously didn't even want him to call for protests. really? in this situation, you saw people like speaker kevin mccarthy later saying that trump wasn't calling for protests, even though he very explicitly did so on his own website, truth social . and so this is definitely an escalation, saying there could potentially be death or destruction if he is indicted, as we know is pretty widely expected at this point, even though it's the timing of that. that's unclear. and so this is certainly a cause for concern. i mean, it's been over a week now that i've been hearing from his allies. you were saying they did not want to see anything that in new york close resembled a january 6th playing out on the streets of manhattan because it was a major concern of theirs. given held damaging, it's been
9:12 pm
for the former president. and so this just shows that i think that also his post you know almost a week ago now when he said he was going to be arrested on tuesday, which obviously was not born out, and there was no indication that that was actually ever anything that was conveyed to his campaign or to his to his world. that just shows that he is he is allowing it to build. he is calling for protests. he's even kind of mocking republicans who are saying that protests should be peaceful. he's saying they're trying to destroy our country, and people are calling for these peaceful protests in the wake of that, andrew, how much does this inflammatory rhetoric heightened the tension and security concerns of what may be possible indictment next week. well it should absolutely have heightened the security concerns of professionals who are involved in protecting not just new york city, but also washington, d c. and anyplace else around this country where extremist supporters of the former president might gather. i mean, look, what we're seeing here is predictable. and, um, it shouldn't surprise anyone. he is
9:13 pm
a one note. orchestra he donald trump appeals to the lowest common denominator. the most base er, violent instincts of his most extreme supporters. he's he did it on january 6th. he summoned that mob to d. c to try to, you know, obstruct the peaceful transfer of power and he's doing it now to try to get himself out of trouble. and to be clear he is in a lot of trouble. we all watched this morning while his attorney in the documents investigation entered the grand jury to testify against him. i mean, that is an unprecedented thing that we're seeing. um and evan corcoran is in a position to provide unbelievably damaging testimony against him. presumably that happened today and now eight of his of his closest advisers have been told they cannot rely on executive privilege and it must appear as well. so it's a very, very bad week for trump, and predictably , he goes low and is resorting
9:14 pm
to the one thing that he does better than anyone, and that's appealing to people's violent tendencies. congressman kinzinger knowing everything you know about the lead up to january 6th he wore on the january 6th committee. how concerning are these comments to you? and what does it say that that chairman jim jordans. speaker mccarthy aren't even addressing it. so i'm concerned not necessarily about what happens in the next week or two weeks. it's all this stuff radicalizes people over time, and people may continue to grow more thinking about violence and eventually going to violence. and it takes a spark that so far we still think you know trump hell. he'd never say like, hey, come and use violence on my behalf but easily could and he's putting in people's minds to use violence. i gotta tell you, john, the thing bothers me the most. we can talk about this whole, it's the silence the silence of my colleagues. my former colleagues, you know, every republican who hold elected office has got to speak up. i don't even care if you
9:15 pm
know you don't have to do it on national tv, put out a statement that says there is the whole purpose by the way of politics is to prevent violence. that's why politics was created. the other silence is so weak. by my party that i just to me. that's what i can't believe even more than what donald trump puts out on truth social. alright three of you. if you will, please stick around. we're gonna take a quick break next more on everyone. corcoran's testimony today you heard andrew mccabe talking about it minus the protection of attorney client privilege. feeling this dynamic is invite only. fortunately, you're invited. experience the exhilaration of the performance life. at the invitation to lexus

9:19 pm
no problem. yeah. success starts with intuit quickbooks. talking about the many legal troubles facing the former president is extreme rhetoric in the face of it back now, with our panel, caitlin collins, you know, as andrew mackay mentioned earlier , trump's attorney, evan corcoran, appeared before the grand jury and the doj mara lago investigation and separately, several trump aides, including chief of staff, mark meadows, former chief of staff have also been ordered to testify in the january 6th case. so is it clear, caitlin how all of this is being seen and viewed by the former president. i mean, clearly there's a lot going on, and he just commented on this a few moments ago, both evan corcoran going and testifying today without being able to cite attorney client privilege tonight, answer certain questions, and also the fact that mark meadows is former chief of staff and all these other aides with varying levels of closest to him, will also have to testify without being able to rely, citing executive privilege to block their testimony in the respective january 6th case. and so it is
9:20 pm
notable. i think evan corcoran, though, has been probably the highest on the race. darfur a lot of those in the former president inner circle because he was going to testify today. he was there for about three hours. our camera saw him going in and then leaving. and obviously there are major questions that we know that they wanted to talk to about regarding his conversations with trump on what happened as they were searching for these classified documents, as of course, when the fbi showed up at mara lago in june before that search warrant was executed. evan corcoran played a role in drafting that statement about the search of classified documents. he was the one who was on the receipt. leaving end of those subpoenas that they got . it was dealing with the justice department in that regard, so i think they have major questions on that front when it comes to this, but then when you step back and look at it, yes, you're right the broader context of all the level investigations into him. he's the most vocal right now. what's happening in manhattan? but as you've heard from legal experts, they believe potentially the documents now with evan corcoran, testifying january 6th , georgia or other major ones that are all you know, if
9:21 pm
they're not high on the radar, they certainly should be mccabe . you know you mentioned it's been a very bad week for trump, largely because of the evan corcoran testimony. does it seem like the pace of the special counsel investigation documents and january 6th is quick quickening because his team is really notching some court victories here. it does john and particularly on the document side, so if we think about everything we learned from the from the affidavit supporting the search warrant last summer, um and then what's taken place largely unsealed court hearings over the last couple of months what we learned in this effort to pierce the attorney client privilege between trump and evan corcoran is according to judge how all the department of justice presented enough evidence to convince her that donald trump had actually committed did a crime or attempted to conceal a crime in his interactions with his attorney, evan corcoran, so having made that sort of an evidentiary presentation to a
9:22 pm
district court judge and having had her decision approved by the circuit court. it is almost impossible to imagine that jack smith's team will not indict donald trump, at least on the documents case. they've already presented compelling evidence in the course of this motion hearing, so we're definitely passed. i think a critical stage in that investigation now with the new folks. those eight close advisers who have been whose whose claims of executive privilege have been wiped aside , at least by the trial court level, the january 6th investigation is ready to get a surge of adrenaline as well. well, let's talk about that investigation. let's talk about one of those potential witnesses . congressman kinzinger. if anyone knows mark meadows, it's you. you served with him, and then he became white house chief of staff. he infinitely didn't testify before your house committee the january 6th committee. how significant do you think his testimony would be? it'll be very significant. i
9:23 pm
mean, i consider him like the mvp of the january 6th house investigation because initially he turned over quite a few text messages before he became, you know, totally uncooperative those text messages. those were some of the things that opened up a lot of the leads. we were able to chase to get to the compelling information we got. mark meadows knows a lot. he knew a lot and i'm gonna tell you with all these dan scavino and some of these others that have resisted coming in and testifying to the january 6th committee, know a lot more and keep in mind. i think our committee put forward a pretty compelling case in the first place. now you layer onto that these folks that didn't cooperate that will cooperate because doj has a much better ability to force that. um if i'm the former president, i'm going to be nervous because those excuses and those lies and frankly, those misperceptions he made those are gonna come tumbling down mark meadows, the m v p. remember he didn't even testify. your committee just the documents. i suppose the
9:24 pm
question is, will he pull frank thomas and he back to back mvps with the january 6th investigation? uh adam kinzinger , andrew mccabe. caitlin collins. thanks to all of you happy weekend. next. how the former president's florida neighbors see this story and the man next door and the legal slippery slope that is the lawsuits and countersuits over a ski collision with gwyneth paltrow. to get a feeling good idiot. great because we invent making it. instability around the world. market disruptions. today we face challenges never seen before. the solution has never been clearer. out here and answer for a more stable world out here. technology will

9:28 pm
president making outlandish statements online. nothing new. what could be different this time, though, is how much tolerance there still is for it . already, k spent today talking to people who can legitimately call him a neighbor. she joins us now, randy, what do you find? well jeremy went to palm beach island where mara lago is so it's essentially donald trump's backyard and we spoke with voters about how they feel about this possibility of the former president being indicted and also about some of his language that he's been using on social media. here's what one republican woman who voted for donald trump told me what do you think about the rhetoric and the language he's using. um like i said, it's harsh. yeah, responsible. very do you think donald trump is getting railroaded? um no, i don't think so. you think it's a fair investigation? i think so. now
9:29 pm
she did vote for donald trump. but she also told me that if rhonda santis, florida's governor, jumps into the race in 2024 that she would be voting for rhonda santis, we also spoke to one man named herbert, who also voted for donald trump. and here's what he had to say. i think it's horrible doesn't destruction. i think he's got a big mouth. he should keep his big mouth shut. do you think he's being railroaded in new york? or you think it's a fair investigation of the hush money payments being railroaded? yeah, i really do. why why is that political? i mean, what? what what? what happened there? it happens all the time. i mean, not only to him the other celebrities and so forth. now remember john. he voted for donald trump. but he told me that if it ends up being biden against trump again in 2024, he would strongly consider voting for joe biden, which i thought was very interesting. we also spoke to a republican couple who supported donald trump. in the
9:30 pm
past. they are still supporting donald trump, but they are tiring of his rhetoric. listen what do you think about that sort of language being used? well i think it's not language that should be used by a former president. but i also think he's got the raw deal with everything that has been charged. you know, and i think that it's basically politically motivated. but if he learned how to say things you know with a lesser child on i think would be better off for him. that's really interesting to hear randy and those were all largely republicans. did you speak to any democrats? we spoke to a handful of democrats, john and they pretty much all gave us the same sentiment. they certainly are frustrated with the former president. they feel he's continuing to divide this country. here is what one democrat told me and it really does sum up what the others told us. i don't think that mr trump really has a grasp on reality in
9:31 pm
terms of the big picture of the health of the country. and i don't feel that anything he's saying is helping bring us together. i don't think that calling for people to defend him and all that kind of stuff is helping heal the wounds of the last 68 years which this country desperately needs to do to go forward. and it is worth noting john that the democrats and republicans that we spoke with do agree on one thing. they all believe that republican leadership should step in and tell donald trump to tamp down some of that rhetoric, john. very interesting. randi kaye. thank you very much perspective . now from cnn political commentator and democratic strategist paul begala, and a bit, too, was right from cnn political commentator jonah goldberg, co founder and editor in chief of the dispatch, you know generates interesting because randy also told us that she talked to a lot of people who just didn't want to talk about trump. they were just sick of them. so you have, you know for a guy who craves attention. people who don't even want to
9:32 pm
think about him right now, combined with those republicans who seemed a little sick of him. how much do you think that hurts? donald trump. i yeah, it's sort of impossible to tell. i do think over the long haul. there is this building thing of it's always something with this guy like you heard some of these people saying that they're sympathetic. they think he's being railroaded. but look, i mean, like, you can think somebody in the nfl was badly treated or like in the nba was fouled and they got injured. if they're injured. you don't want them, you know, starting in the next game. similarly donald trump is really damaged goods at this point, and i think there are a lot of republicans who like him. who think you know, look, he's just not the winnable candidate. um and some of this stuff is dragging. we now know from 2022 that he's dragging down other republicans. enough is enough. i just don't know if you're gonna actually gonna get enough of the people who think that in time for it to matter in the primaries remains to be seen at the small sample size, but it did sound like there was fatigue in some of those trump supporters. voices there. paul look, donald trump lashing out
9:33 pm
like he is these one am statements are still some media seeming to incite violence or call for it. perhaps what does it say to you that that's how he's reacting to what is widely seen as a less serious case here in manhattan? what does it tell you about how he might react to the more serious cases in georgia in the federal investigation? that's a really good point of one of my old mentors and friends of late zell miller. governor georgia used to say a hit dog will holler. well if he's this upset, and this word and threatening violence, which is way across the line about a case that even a lot of democrats think, gee, i don't know if they ought to bring it. wait until i just heard andy mccabe talking about the evidence that the feds are gathering in the classified documents case wait until a potential case around incitement of insurrection and january 6th wait until perhaps the 10 or so instances of obstruction of justice. the mueller report cites wait until funny. willis the d a in fulton county in georgia. potentially brings a
9:34 pm
case. those are much, much more serious. but if he's starting now, with the with what for him should be actually the easiest case. and he's resorting to threats of violence. god only knows where he's going to go next. adam kinzinger earlier expressed dismay that republican members of congress largely still aren't speaking out against the violence. he seemed to think they were scared to speak out. but how much for risk ? do you really think there is now in speaking up, particularly if some of these trump supporters we heard in randi's piece right? there are so exhausted with trump yeah. look, i mean, this is a bind that republicans have been in for a very, very long time. this is a very groundhog day kind of question. no offense to the question, but we have seen this for seven years now, and there's just essentially a calculation that says ah, you catch a lot more grief. if you say anything than if you just keep your head down. i think it's shameful. and
9:35 pm
look, i mean, on the violence thing. i just think it's really worth pointing out. let's credit trump's defenders and trump himself and say that he was absolutely right when he says he didn't mean to incite violence in january, 6th that was not as intent. you would think given what happened on january 6th. you'd be extra careful not to do it again. and yet he's going completely other way. he knows what he's doing. it is wicked and it is profoundly dangerous. and like i, the man on the street interviews are interesting, but they all say republicans should intervene. every republican has ever intervened with him has gotten their head handed to them going back to jeff flake, so i'm not sure it's that's a strategy that the republicans want to follow. paul we got about 30 seconds left, and i do understand the groundhog nature of my question is has something changed now? is there now fatigue you advise, have had advised almost all only democratic candidates miller, ultimately aside arguably at the end there, but what would you advise someone like rhonda santos? hit him. hit him as hard
9:36 pm
as you can. beat him. if you want to beat trump, you have to beat trump. and i think jonas right in the past people have taken on trump have suffered. he has crossed the line with this violence. by the way, set aside politics. there's a moral imperative here. there's social science research on this. there's this political scientist at johns hopkins. lillian mason , who studied political violence and she found when you introduce a statement from a leader. to people who might be inclined toward violence. it has significant effect on diminishing the violence, so this is really important that the political violence in this country is on the rise. republicans have got to speak out about this or someone's going to get hurt, and i think it's going to help them politically. if they do public, alec jonah goldberg are thanks to both of you have a great weekend. thank you. thanks. so a problem that might shock you by its very existence in this country. places were clean drinking water is unavailable. how do you know the family trip? know sorry, son. prices are

help you understand what it's actually worth. then they auction it to their network of professional buyers. get more for your jewelry with worthy .com. good morning, everyone we do begin with breaking news this morning. according to the world economic forum around 2.2 million americans are without running water or basic indoor plumbing in more than 44 million have inadequate water system sounds almost imagine unimaginable, but it's not as cnn's sara sounder find out in mcdowell county, west virginia. inside this dilapidated building where the roof is always threatening to cave in sits one precious item. what in the heck is this? that is an old turbine.
9:41 pm
uh huh. that decade old pump is the only source of reliable clean water for about 300 residents. it's the only pump left that sends water through the pipes into their homes. randy whittaker does his best to help maintain it at the facility. you think no you think? no, i'm not drinking any of that. but it meets all regulatory standards. we were there when the head of the environmental protection agency got a tour of the place in december. michael reagan's first initiative is to bring reliable , clean water to historically neglected communities across america into a building that's leaking that has ancient technology. and people's livelihoods. are dependent upon this antiquated system. this is not what we should be having in this country. the residents serviced by this pump, actually had it good compared to thousands of others in the county. gathering rain or creek water. what is one thing you
9:42 pm
don't have in this house? we don't have water. sonny barton has lived on this remote ridge for 40 years, he says they're mountain community was promised pipe water when he first got here, but it never happened. so he hauls water himself pumping all my truck out of the creek. yeah just straight out of the creek degree. fill those up, okay? and i drop it off here down in the valley. put my ship lap up over top of my cabinets off painting my cabinets. tammy bailey put some serious sweat equity into her home. so one day i come home and i turned my tape on. not this faster, of course. yeah, i turned my tap on. this is what i got. this was my water. okay, that. you can't even see through that. what? it smells like nasty rotten eggs. what's worse when bailey had her water test, and she says 14
9:43 pm
contaminants were found. you can't even flush a toilet, no kicking, and none of the 1200 or so homes in her part of mcdowell county are hooked up to a reliable water source. we're supposed to be their best country in the world, the richest the richest country in the world. some 100 years ago, some residents here were among the richest people in the united states by mining coal. we know that historically these coal companies and other extractive industries were the ones who paid for operated and maintained all of these town water systems . the communities then have to rely on infrastructure that is aging, failing, breaking down 100. years later, the tax base and infrastructure generations of families rely on is a shadow of itself. my grandmother um this is me and her. she didn't have running water until she was 70. she didn't have running water to shoot 70. yes ma'am. eddie george does is help people
9:44 pm
all over mcdowell county get water piped to their homes. people they have trucks just solely devoted to carrying water . how in water from you know spring he works for a nonprofit organization called dig deep. tammy bailey says she would still be living without clean water if it weren't for eddie and dig deep. i'm a single woman one in camp, so i went knocking on the doors and dig deep and fortunately, they answered the cost to fix everything that went wrong would have cost her 10,000 bucks. statistically that's about a third of a year's wages for most people in mcdowell county. eddie george, points out . the problem isn't just about how people get water, but what's in it? these are what we call straight piping. it's dumping raw sewage into the stream. this lovely stream runs right through tammy bailey's neighborhood. but every house we see has a straight pipes straight into it
9:45 pm
. the people we heard from here desperately want to be hooked up to a water system but have little hope that will happen anytime soon. area like this year, i think 13 to 14 miles away from any main water source. but eddie george does see a trickle of hope because for the first time ever, the head of the epa came to mcdowell county and pledged to help fix what has been broken for far too long. if you come down some of these places, you would think he was in a third world country, nobody should have to live like this. nobody should have to live like that. when you see what these folks go through every day just to get water into their homes. it makes you angry, but they have said to me things like so we can get people to the moon. we can send a rover to mars. but we can't get water to our homes. we can't have city pipes. there is a funding issue, of course, but i think a lot of people see this and they go. well, that's you know, that's part of being in rural america. no, no. the city is also have major issues. we just saw what happened in the capital of mississippi jackson. we all know what happened in

ever ingredients to help you lose fat get lean, absolutely free, rugged 321321. i'm melanie is known in washington. and this is cnn. actress with paltrow took the stand today in a civil trial over 2016 ski accident in park city, utah. retired optometrist says she ski right into him and is suing for about $300,000, alleging he suffered four broken ribs in brain damage . now, paltrow says, he skied into her and is countersuing. i was skiing and two skis came between my skis, forcing my legs apart. and then there was a body pressing against me. and there was a very strange grunting noise, so my brain was trying to make sense of what was happening. i thought, am i is this a practical joke? is someone like doing something perverted? this is really, really strange. my mind was going very, very quickly, and i was trying to ascertain what was
9:51 pm
happening. all right. cnn's harry enten joins us now, harry. look there's a lot going on in this trial. the testimony back and forth is interesting, but there's also some other interests and it just sort of the numbers surrounding it. yeah that's right. i mean, look for gwyneth paltrow. this is not about money. this is about her reputation right because her group company is worth well over $200 million. the county. the suit. the suit is for only $300,000. now she's countersuing. but it's just for a dollar and attorneys fees. so this is more about a reputation . she wants to clear her name, and so we'll see if she's ultimately able to do that. how much attention is this case getting it's televised. you get the sense that people are interested. people are really interested. so i contacted google and i found out that this was the day that has had the most searches for gwyneth paltrow in nine years, nine years. her google searches today are the third highest in school has been tracking it back in 2004, so people are really interested in this case they were interested in seeing gwyneth paltrow take the stand. and again. this is about her
9:52 pm
reputation, so we'll see if the people who are so interested in it view her differently better or for worse, based upon her testimony, introduced her and we talked about it, i say actress gwyneth paltrow, but truth is, she's more of a business person. now that an actress i listened to an interview with her over a year ago, she says, yes, it's been a long time since i was a the major name in a film. i went back and i looked, and the last time she received top billing, the top billing in a film was 13 years ago. 13 years ago for a film that i honestly had never heard of. you can see on the screen country strong. i believe she is not so strong. apparently not so strong. i was told the movie wasn't particularly good, but i also know that she performed at the country music awards, and that was in fact, the last time a performance of hers with something that was searched in the top five searches for gwyneth paltrow's name. as you mentioned, she's really just not known for her performances anymore. she's perhaps now known more about this trial, which again is part of the reason why she's so eager to clear her name. very
