7:01 am
in more victor blackwell. you're in the cnn newsroom. sad news from the music world, legendary singer and song writer jimmy buffett has died. in his 50-year career he went from beach bum to billionaire, 27 studio albums, two grammy nods, a chain of resorts, restaurants, and even retired living communities all too his name. >> but hit started and ended with music, and he'll forever be associated with beaches, flip-flops and margaritas. ♪ wasting away again in margaritaville ♪ ♪ searching for my lost shaker of salt ♪ >> makes you want to be on a beach right now. >> always does. >> if we're anywhere outside of here we'd be outside margaritaville where we find cnn's polo sandoval right now. polo, what is his team saying about buffett's death?
7:02 am
>> reporter: just incredible, too, omar, that in about 4 1/2 decades jimmy buffett goes from penning those famous lyrics we have all perhaps karaoked one too many times to actually building this massive billion-dollar empire with a reach around the world and for millions of americans that were big fans of theirs, and so called parrot heads. we had an opportunity to speak to one in familiar, coincidentally enough also named jim, checking out of the margaritaville on his way back home, to the home state, this is really -- that jimmy's from. so i want you to hear directly from him, from one of the many parrot heads grieving this morning. what this loss means to him. >> oh, it's huge. i mean, he said things in his books, his songs that i can only think is the way i felt, i didn't have words for it. he just put it into words. i want to remember him for the good times, i mean, the party
7:03 am
atmosphere, you know, the whole thing. >> reporter: and that fan really hitting that point that we have heard time and time again, in the conversations that jimmy had with various publications through his life. especially about that song, it provides a moment of escapism, perhaps you're at the office, perhaps you're -- it's the dead of winter but something about that song and people were able to sort of at least for a moment get whisked away to a warm tropical climate. and that fan says this is what people should remember him by, the opportunity jimmy provided through his lyrics for people to be able to escape for a moment. as we continue to hear more about how people remembered jimmy buffett. >> a lot of people remembering this legend, and to add to that escapism, maybe we need a land shark lager to commemorate him. polo sandoval, thank you very much. earlier this morning we
7:04 am
spoke with rolling stone contributing editor joe levy, and he explained how buffet t's legacy and impact will live on for many years to come. >> typically at a concert or when you go to see a performance, you can buy a t-shirt, with jimmy buffett you could buy a jimmy buffett t-shirt, you could leave and go to a jimmy buffett restaurant, you could stay at a jimmy buffett hotel, you could leave there and go home to your jimmy buffett margaritaville retirement community where you could read one of his books, non-fiction best sellers, one of his novels. what is the legacy, how will people continue to enact it? they're going to live their lives. the way that he wanted them to, in sandals, enjoying themselves after 5:00, but remembering that past always 5:00 somewhere. that big hit song, years and years ago, it's always 5:00 somewhere, with allen jackson, the country singer, became a kind of entry point for jimmy
7:05 am
buffett into the world of country music. he became a big influence on kenny wh kenny chesney who loike jimmy buffett has something called no shoes nation. it's a sound that continues to reverberate, laid back, open, fun, really a style of relaxation in the music itself that continues in other performers, and all throughout country music right now. >> really a transformational figure, and tributes from jimmy buffett's loyal parrot heads as they're known are starting to come in, both r.i.p. legend, and r.i.p. trending on "x" formerly known as twitter, fans posting on social media they were shock today hear about his passing, many quote his famous line, if there's a heaven for me, i'm sure it has a beach attached. >> actor miles teller also posted, a touching tribute to the iconic singer, he posted this photo, accompanied by a
7:06 am
song lyric, and ended with calling buffett, a legend, tv host andy cohen expressed his love for buffett saying the king of cool paradise was wherever jimmy buffett was, so true. now, if you have travel plans this holiday weekend you're going to have lots of company, but if you plan on hitting the roads this morning, be ready to drop some cash because gas prices are spiking to historic highs this labor day. today's average gallon costs around $3.82. >> and if you're flying this weekend, you might want to get to the airport early. tsa screened more than 2.7 million passengers yesterday, and they're expecting a record-breaking 14 million people will take to the skies over this holiday weekend. >> cnn aviation correspondent pete munteen is at reagan national with more. >> reporter: it is a climactic end to a record-breaking summer of travel, with a new survey saying more than half of all americans expect to travel for labor day. at chicago o'hare, officials are bracing for a 7% increase in
7:07 am
passengers compared to the holiday weekend last year. the tsa says after this weekend, the summer will set a new air travel record with more than 22 million people screened at airports since memorial day. transportation secretary pete buttigieg says flight cancellations are going down, but the latest numbers from flight aware show it is delays that have increased. this summer, more than 25% of flights arrived late by an average of 57 minutes. >> this year we have seen significant improvement. that doesn't mean that the system was immune from some tough travel days this year, and this summer. >> reporter: aaa says even still, travelers remain undaunted, booking 4% more domestic trips compared to last labor day weekend, and 44% more international trips, with destinations like vancouver, rome, and london topping the list. >> you are seeing flights and trips over to europe, and down to latin america, booming right
7:08 am
now. with numbers that are significantly higher than what we saw pre-pandemic. >> reporter: the crowds also stretched to the roads. aaa forecasts that popular routes like palm springs to san diego and the jersey shore to manhattan will hit peak congestion on monday. before this weekend the average price for a gallon of regular gas flirted with a seasonal record, set back in 2012. >> like everything else, it just keeps going up and it's why i'm meeting my family halfway. i would have driven all the way to baltimore and back. >> we knew they were going to up. we filled up before we left jersey. >> reporter: friday will go down as the busiest day of air travel for the weekend but it's only the start. the tsa says in total it will screen 14 million people at airports nationwide through wednesday. omar, amara? >> pete, thank you, and, you know, summer is still here, it is refusing to loosen its grip in labor day weekend, it's
7:09 am
supposed to be the unfuofficial end of summer, supposed to be, the keyword, but another heat wave is expected to break temperature records in the east, and midwest. >> and as temperatures soar on in the eastern part of the u.s. the west can expect a surge of rain that could lead to flash flooding in some areas. >> cnn meteorologist allison chi chinchar is here to break it down for us. what do we need to know? >> a lot of talk about, yes, we've got a lot of heat building across the central u.s., but out to the west the few places that are cool are having to contend with heavy rain. this is video from yesterday out of las vegas, vehicles trapped on flooded roadways throughout the morning, and even the afternoon hours, no surprise, take a look at some of these totals across arizona and nevada. looking at some spots to pick up two, and even three inches. for some of these places that wasn't just six to 12 hours, so a lot of rain in a very short period of time. you've got some more rain that is forecast for today, not just for las vegas, but a lot of the surrounding areas, salt lake, sacramento, even stretching down
7:10 am
into portions of northern arizona, and as far north as oregon, but the central u.s., the focus is certainly going to be the heat, omaha, wichita, chicago, all looking at temperatures the next few days to be in the 90s, well above where they would be this time of year. minneapolis expected to hit triple digits, they're normal this time of year, which is 78, if they hit the 100 degree mark, it break it is daily record back in 1925, but second time in recorded history they've had triple digit in the month of september. one of the many places that end up breaking records, not just in the midwest, but also spreading into the mid-atlantic and also the northeast starting tomorrow and continuing monday and tuesday of the upcoming week. it's going to be here for the long haul for several of these locations. d.c., for example, only 86 today but triple digits by the time we get to tuesday and then it's not until next weekend we start to see those temperatures coming back down again and also keeping an eye on tropics, peak tropical
7:11 am
season across the atlantic. numerous name systems here but also this system that's coming off the coast of africa, that's expected to head towards the caribbean to the end of next week. so certainly something we'll have to keep an eye ongoing through the next several days. >> allison chinchar, thank you, we'll keep an eye on it and stay cool as much as we can. >> stay indoors. now, later this morning, president biden will touch down in florida to take a look at the destruction left behind by hurricane idalia, which made landfall as a category 3 storm with winds of 125 miles an hour. the state's big ben region was heavily impacted, storm surges reaching nine feet. >> current projections expect recovery to reach $20 billion. we're live from florida, is that where the president is expected to visit?
7:12 am
>> reporter: he's focusing on this big bend region that is between the peninsula and the panhandle. idalia has been the most powerful hurricane to strike this region in over 100 years. i'm specifically in live oak at a distribution center. you can see folks starting to trickle in here, they're opening their trunks, and this right here is the florida state guardsmen, a newly activated force designed to alleviate the pressure on the national guardsmen during natural disasters. they're picking up here ready to eat meals, putting them in the trunks and then further down there's water as well, and back there you see those blue tarps to help them out with the recovery efforts, tarping up their homes and at the end of the process line back there is ice that they're packing in there. now, let me give you a little bit of details into the schedule of the president, just before 11:00 a.m. here in about 45 minutes, the president and the first lady, they're set to depart the white house and go over to joint base andrews.
7:13 am
just after 1:00 p.m. they'll arrive here, gainesville regional airport, and then 15 minutes later they will receive an aerial tour of the storm-ravaged area en route to live oak right here in suwanee county. and also with these recovery efforts and he will deliver remarks. guys? >> and isabel, president biden has said he'll be meeting with florida governor ron desantis on this trip today, but desantis says it's not happening. is it clear at all what is going to happen as far as a meeting between those two goes? >> reporter: it's clearly a misstep between these two potential 2024 presidential rivals, a spokesperson for desantis, governor desantis saying they have no plans for the governor to meet with biden. this is a contradiction to comments from the president on friday saying that he would meet with governor ron desantis, and
7:14 am
then we had this from the spokesperson in these rural communities, this is a quote, and so soon after impact the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts. here's fema administrator deanne criswell, her response. >> there has been a tremendous amount of coordination. i traveled with the governor on thursday, and we went to some of the more rural coastal communities, and access is fairly limited there. so when the president contacted the governor to let him know he was going to be visiting, we mutually agreed, the governor's team and my team, mutually agreed on a place that would have minimal impact into operations. live oak, the power is being restored, the roads aren't blocked, but there's families that are hurting there. i would have to defer you to the governor on what his schedule is going to be. >> reporter: yeah, and according to the white house, proesident
7:15 am
biden has spoken numerous times to the governor over the phone and has met with the governor in the past, notably with hurricane ian last year, and also during surfside building collapse. >> seems like some political calculations are being made here. we'll see what happens. isabel rosales, thank you. former trump attorney rudy giuliani now the latest defendant in the georgia election subversion case to plead not guilty. plus, the devastating impact of the hawaii wildfires is also taking a major toll on children and schools. photos that are analyzed by ai. so researchers c can help life underwater flourish. ♪ each day is a unique blend of goioing, doing, and living. glucerna protein smart with 30 grams of protein to help keep you moving. uniquely designed with carteady to help manage blood sur response. glucerna, bring on the day.

defendant to plead not guilty. the former new york mayor will not, along with trump and five other defendants, have to appear in georgia state court next week, after waiving their rights to an arraignment hearing. >> and 19 people have been indicted but only trump and 11
7:20 am
other defendants have formally entered pleas, we're still waiting for a decision on whether trump -- or whether former trump chief of staff mark meadows' trial will be moved to forty. jessica schneider has more. >> reporter: we are waiting for word from the federal judge in georgia to find out if trump's former chief of staff mark meadows will be able to move his case from state court to federal court. the judge has received briefing from both sides in the case. spans about 35 pages. all of that briefing was submitted late thursday afternoon, so presumably a ruling could come at any time. the judge here wanted more clarity on this issue of the numerous acts listed in the indictment against meadows as part of this conspiracy case, and whether, if meadows was performing as a federal officer, under just one of those acts, could the case be removed? well, the d.a. fani willis is saying no, she says the indictment didn't happen because of any single act. but instead the broader
7:21 am
conspiracy that meadows was alleged to be involved in. meadows' lawyers, of course, are saying yes, even if one act touches on meadows' job as chief of staff it should be removed. we'll see how this judge rules. it's likely we'll see something maybe before wednesday when meadows is set to be arraigned in state court. then we also have defendant kenneth chesebro. he was trump's campaign lawyer, he's filed various motions in state court. first, he wants the prosecution to speed up their production of discovery to him and his lawyers. his lawyers are saying it's unacceptable prosecutors have said they'll hand everything over by september 15s, which is two weeks from now, when they're speeding toward this october 23rd trial date. so chesebro's lawyers say that they've given willis' team a hard drive for the evidence and they're saying that willis'team needs to speed it up. they can't say they're ready to go trial but then slow walk this production of documents. chesebro is telling the court he wants a solo trial.
7:22 am
he and sidney powell both filed for speedy trials. he doesn't want to go to trial with her, never had direct contact with her and they're not accused of doing the same thing. a flurry of filings as we wait for that federal judge in georgia to actment. >> jessica, thank you. the legal bills and the pressure are mounting for donald trump's co-defendants in the georgia election interference case. >> many are trying all sorts of ways to manage the legal cash crunch. yet, the cost may quickly blow past their abilities to pay. correspondent kristen holmes has more. >> reporter: good morning, amara and omar. well, former president trump is not paying for any of the legal fees for his co-defendants in georgia as of now. for context, the former president paid bills for advisers, both current and former employees, aides, in both the january 6th committee investigation and both of those federal investigations. but obviously that is not the case here with georgia.
7:23 am
so it's making these co-defendants, who are now facing astronomical legal fees, have to turn to different creative measures. that includes crowd funding. we know at least four of them have started crowd funding, that includes lawyer jenna ellis, election attorney john eastman, jeffrey clark, a former doj official, and kathy latham, a fake elector in georgia. i'm told, even though there have been grumblings that they're not being helped by donald trump, that none of them have asked for help. and one official said if they want help they should apply to the legal defense fund. a reminder we talked about this legal defense fund established back in july because of these mounting legal fees, particularly for trump's aides and advisers. they have been paid out of his save america pac which is a leadership pac, and we know that since 2021 that pac has spent more than $41 million on legal fees. and, in fact, they've spent so much money on legal fees that recently they asked for a refund
7:24 am
from a donation that they made for $60 million to a super pac that was defending trump. it gives you an idea here of how much money they are spending and how quickly they are spending it. in terms of that legal defense fund it is unclear right now what, if any, funds exist in that fund, we are told that don jr. and eric trump have both been fund raising, that they have a lot of pledges, but unclear whether or not any of that is actual tangible money. so, if those georgia defendants were to request help, if there was any money to help them. so, something that we're keeping an eye on. but obviously it's going to be difficult for a lot of these co-defendants to muster up the cash that they need to pay these large attorney fees. omar, amara? >> kristen holmes, thank you. seven defendants, including donald trump, and rudy giuliani, have waived their right to an arraignment hearing, as you heard, which means that they will not have to appear next week inside a georgia state court. 19 people have been indicted, but only trump and 11 other
7:25 am
defendants have formally entered not guilty pleas. and, we are still waiting for a decision on whether former trump chief of staff mark meadows' trial will be moved to federal court as he is requesting. joining me now to discuss this is washington correspondent, tia, great to see you, good morning. let's start with the mounting legal bills for trump and his co-defendants. trump's political action committee, as we know, has already paid more than $40 million on legal fees for trump, and many of his associates, according to federal campaign finance records. so, tia, why isn't trump footing the bill, at least for now, for his co-defendants here in georgia? >> well, you know, sometimes it's hard to get in the mind of the former president, but there are some possibilities for why he isn't. number one, just like the reporter just said, maybe they haven't asked.
7:26 am
but i think there are also some calculations on trump's side. number one, it's just capacity. do these political committees which we know are paying trump's sizable legal bills, do they have enough left over to help out these co-defendants? that is unclear. it's also unclear if there are some strategic reasons why trump and his team may want to keep these co-defendants at an arm's length. we've seen him saying that, you know, he doesn't know some of the co-defendants that well, that some of them he's never even met, and, you know, if he's as part of his own defense is saying don't hold me accountable for what these people did in their efforts to overturn the election, then perhaps, again, there is some calculation over whether he should be supporting them and paying their legal bills. but again, that is just some speculation on my part right now
7:27 am
we don't know how much of this is trump deciding not to pay, versus him not being asked or not being able to pay. >> right, right. and meanwhile, tia, i want to show you a cnn poll showing trump, no shock, maintaining a sizable lead over his opponents at 58%. desantis has 16%, raum smaswamy. despite trump's legal problems it's not making a dent in his support. and now that a fulton county judge ruled the georgia election subversion case can be televised and live streamed on youtube how might that impact trump's campaign if at all? >> well, i think trump believes that it helps his campaign, particularly in the republican primary. the timing of the trial my have an impact, maybe not so much on
7:28 am
the primary, which the way the polls are going, the way things are looking, he could sew up the republican nomination relatively early in the primary process, which could mean by this summer, well before the official nominating convention, he could be the party's nominee. but, that would mean these trials would have an impact later in the campaign during the pivot to the general election. and the question is, as the wider electorate, not just republicans, but democrats, independents, those swing voters, that we know can influence the outcome of the election, will the trial have an impact on them? that's the question. but again, so much is uncertain right now, because we don't know ultimately the timing of these trials, and even a start date doesn't mean that things, you know, jury selection could take some time. things like that.
7:29 am
so we really don't know when they'll heat up, and at what point the contest will be. >> tia, before we let you go, i want to ask you about president biden's trip to florida, he'll be touching down less than three hours, to tour the damage from hurricane idalia, he'll be joined, of course, by his team and fema administrator deanne criswell who we spoke with a few hours ago and she told me this morning that both biden and governor desantis' team mutually agreed on a place for a meeting, but then of course you're hearing from florida governor's team that there are no plans. what's going on here? i mean, politics at play? >> well, it appears like politics. it appears that, again, from the two sides hwe're hearing from te white house that the white house wants to meet and is ready to meet. right now it appears that it's the florida governor who is not kind of meeting in the middle to make that happen. to be honest, i would have been
7:30 am
surprised if there were a meeting just because ron desantis has so far avoided sharing significant time with the president. i'm not saying -- they've been talking all week, but it's a difference to share significant time when there are cameras, we know for some republicans, handshakes with democratic presidents have later been used against them, and again right now ron desantis is a candidate for the republican nomination. what he doesn't want is donald trump to take a screen shot of him shaking hands with president biden and it be on ads from here for the next several months. so, that could be part of the calculation. but i think there are a lot of people at home who, again, are affected by the storms, especially in florida, in south georgia, and they're not worried as much about politics but they would perhaps like to see the
7:31 am

someone gets into a confrontation with him for that. >> reporter: the escape comes weeks after another high profile manhunt of a violent escaped inmate, also in pennsylvania. michael bburram escaped and was later captured. staffing shortages at these jails lead to security breaches. >> it's not the greatest place to work. i mean, think about it. who wants to work inside a prison who couldn't have to? >> reporter: there's now a $10,000 reward for information leading to the cupture of danelo cavalcante. law enforcement officials telling people, now that the labor day weekend is upon us, keep an eye on the homes of neighbors going out of town. with the idea that cavalcante might try to steal something from a home like that. brian todd, cnn washington. still ahead, hawaii is just beginning to pick up the pieces after those devastating wildfires in maui. how children in schools are being impacted. comfortable interior.....

to a hand specialist. and i'm glad he did, because when i took the tabletop test, i couldn't lay my hand flat anymore. the first hand specialist i saw only offered surgery. so, i went to a second hand specialist who also offered nonsurgical options — which felt more right for me. so, what i'd say to other people with dupuytren's contracture is this: don't wait — find a hand specialist trained in nonsurgical options, today. i found mine at findahandspecialist.com.

welt class. three weeks after wildfires devastated the city of lahaina thousands of students ranging from pre-k to 12th grade remain without school, parents and teachers are frustrated and pleading with government officials for better solutions to get these kids back in the classroom. department of education says four public schools were impacted by the fires and are still closed with the elementary school -- most hawaii schools were scheduled to begin the school year the week of the lahaina fires, joining us now is robert livermore, a teacher at the elementary school who lives right outside of lahaina where the fires were. for starters, i want to say, how much we feel for your community, and how much you all have been through. we know over 300 people are missing and parts of the island remain blocked off to the
7:45 am
public. when it comes to schooling, though, what are the current options for lahaina students? >> well, thank you for having me on and thank you for addressing our needs. currently, the option that has been presented is to bus all of our kids to the other side of the island. that was their solution on the 11th of august. and since then it seems to be the only solution that they've been presented to the public. if you don't know maui, never been to lahaina, we have a road called the poly which goes around the mountain, that is a treacherous road, if anybody knows it like we know it it's closed often. there's an accident, there's rocks that slide down off the mountain. there's whale season coming and that's even worse when the tourists start stopping on the highway all the time. what happens is that's just a big risk for a lot of accidents
7:46 am
that would keep our kakey away from us. >> are you satisfied? >> nine out of ten parents as of last week were not satisfied with that option but it seems to be the only option they're offering to us. they said you can sign up for distance learning, that's full. every place they've given an option you're on a waiting list at the moment and as a teacher and a parent, i have a child in second grade and freshman, one on the mainland as well and i have two kids here, they would go to two different schools. the way their plan works, it's really -- it's really shortsighted. >> look, first, there's covid-19, you know, that already set a lot of students back. you know, now some schools are closed even further. just from an educator standpoint how is this going to impact the learning for these kids? >> it's tremendous. it's a huge impact. we're losing an entire first quarter of the year, basically. they said -- basically, the eu
7:47 am
is hoping to have the three schools still standing to be open after fall break. which means we're going to lose one quarter of our year. we're just rebounding from learning loss and still haven't made up the losses from covid as you just mentioned. so it is hard on these children and right now. some of us have been going out, i was reading to some students the other day, because they're not getting what they need, and i wish we had more organization, maybe they were getting us instead of trying to start farming us off to other schools maybe getting us to volunteer in some of the areas in the community here in lahaina where families have been displaced in hotels and resorts and we can be working with them there while they're waiting. there's not a lot of planning going on right now and that's frustrating, not only parents and educators as well. >> you teach first grade, and, you know, i think for anyone who's been in a first grade class environment, it's a specific type of joy and energy with that age of kids being in a
7:48 am
classroom like that. what do you miss most as an educator, what do you miss most about that type of environment? >> no, i've had a lot of kids that i've taught already come give me hugs when i go to the parks and i see them. same thing keke, wanting me to be in their room with them, when can we be with you? i don't have an answer. i am not able to help at the moment, like i wish i could. these children need structure, they need some sense of normalcy. so their parents can heal as well, and if we can't give them normalcy, you know, i don't believe shipping them to the other side and splitting them up into different schools is normalcy. providing something here, in their community, close to home with people they know, that would be more normal for them. >> yeah. robert livermore, thanks for giving us the time, we know that
7:49 am
you all are dealing with so much right now. stay close, we'd love to keep the conversation alive to keep this message up and to try and get your schools open as quickly as possible. thank you so much. >> it's just a matter of health and safety right now. because of the fire, that's really what's happening. but in the meantime there are a lot of teachers, and families that really are willing to volunteer and help over here on the west side and keep us together. >> definitely, robert, thank you so much. we'll be right back. the first time you made a sale online with godaddy was also the first time you heard of a town named dinosaur, colorado. we just got an order from dinosaur, colorado.

hours. >> the stamina is amazing. carolyn joins us. hi. >> he might be the best athlete in all of sports, just because he's on track to win a record 24th grand slam title does not mean this is easy. some fans joked he did it on purpose to challenge himself. that was not the case for novak djokovic. dropped the first two sets against fellow serve laslo -- he battled all the way back to a match that did not end until nearly 2:00 in the morning. he had to pump himself up after being pushed to the absolute brink. >> i did a little pep talk in the mirror. i kind of laughed at myself because i was so pissed off and agitated and, you know, annoyed with the result, and with the game, but, you know, i had to kind of force myself to lift myself up, to lift the spirits up a little bit. i've done it a few times before in my career.
