good morning, let's get started with five things to know for this labor day, monday

september 4. 70,000 people are stranded in the nevada desert for the third straight day, but roads could reopen today. people at the burning manifest value are stuck in mud too thick to drive on forcing organizers to impose shelter-in-place o orders. and a manhunt in pennsylvania, this convicted killer less than two miles from where he escaped. and he's still on the run this morning. and donald trump dominates the 2024 republican field and pulls even further ahead in a new "wall street journal" poll. he is the top choice for almost 60% of republican voters. in fact 78% of them say trump's actions after the 2020 election were legitimate. and the ukraine defense minister fired by the nation's president who says ukraine needs, quote, new approaches as the war with russia enters its 19th month. and workers at the big three automakers prepare to walk off the job in less than two weeks if the unions and companies can't reach a deal on a new

labor contract. a strike against all three at once has never happened before and it could have a big impact on the economy. "cnn this morning" starts right now. good monday morning. we hope you had a great weekend. certainly if you are watching any news this weekend, it was almost entirely focused on this, officials in nevada say the roads out of burning manifest value grounds may reopen today after a rare but heavy downpour turned the grounds into a muddy sticky mess. inundated campsites leaving tens of thousands of people trapped in the desert. >> you don't expect this kind of rain. and the effect nobody's ever seen this kind of effect in there ever. >> attendees were told to conserve food, fuel and water after it became impossible for them to even walk or drive their

vehicles. >> but some people who were there said it wasn't so bad. >> my friends are trying to message me if i'm okay, but in reality, it was really nice. >> things actually felt not only safe and comfortable for the vast majority of people from my impression, but actually fun. we all came together and made the best of it. >> and event organizers say plans to set fire to the iconic effigy could happen tonight and exodus of campers will likely start later today. camila bernal reports from burning man. >> we plan on leaving right after the burn which is saturday night. and then it started raining on us like that night. >> reporter: a dramatic washout at burning man trapping tens of thousands at the festival and delaying the event's marquee moment when a massive wooden effigy known as "the man" is set on fire. the decades old gathering in the black rock desert is no stranger

to extreme heat. but rarely like this. >> we're sinking. i think barefoot is the way go. >> reporter: two to three wo month's worth of rain falling in just several hours turning the ground into thick-like paste. this festival grower, dean, shot this video with his ankle deep into the mud. and from the air, you could see the standing water, muddy roads and countless rvs, vans, trucks and other vehicles parked and helpless. >> when it was really wet, you couldn't do anything, you just lived here. there is really no way to walk miles to get out of it. >> we couldn't leave. like we were stuck basically. people could barely walk let alone ride their bikes or drive out of here. and so that is when it started k3 getting a little scary. >> reporter: many who tried to drive were stuck. the situation so concerning that

even president biden was briefed on the matter. while organizers have often described the 23esfestival as af expression event where harshness meets creativity, few expected it to be this bad. >> it is a survival event. you come out here to be in a harsh climate and you prepare for that. >> reporter: event organizers said roads remain, quote, too wet and muddy and local authorities have told thousands of people to shelter in place. though some attendees braved the conditions to make it out. including this actor and comedian chris rock and another festival attendee deejay diplo, they posted videos as they trekked more than 6 miles in the mud before the two got a ride on the back of a pickup truck. local officials are urging those still on site to conserve food, water and fuel. still, some attendees down played fears telling us that they think that they will manage just fine. >> i don't think that it is going to like people are going

to like starve or do anything over there. the community in itself would help each other and there is a lot of people who overstocked for this thing too. it is really beautiful actually when you go into the camps. everybody was helping each other out. >> reporter: camila bernal, cnn, black rock city. so how did just 0.8 inches of rain completely cut these people off so quickly? derek van dam is joining us now. and give ussen ide an idea of h happened. >> it is all about the topsoil. what you are looking at here with our 3d visualization tool is the difference between desert topsoil and our earthy topsoil that you and i might use to plant our vegetables in our garden for instance. we call that loam. and water easily absorbs into that earthy topsoil. but when you are talking about rain that continuously falls within the desert, it doesn't take much to pool up and mixing up with that clay creating that

very muddy cement-like mixture that ultimately cost so much thousands of people to get stranded in the desert nevada. just take a look at some of these visuals. the aerial visuals really speak for themselves. look at these cars. you can see the muddy tracks and you can see completely abandoned vehicles because they simply cannot drive, it is too thick, too difficult to navigate that type of cement-like mixture that is a combination of the water not absorbing back into the ground, we call that an impermeable ser urface and simp the a rain that fell in a short period of time. there are no flood watches in effect for the black rock basin, this is known as a plia. in fact we'll dry things out rather quickly. as soon as get the sun to rise this morning, we'll get the typical evaporation that would happen within this plia, you see just north of empire, that

shading of white, that is a dry basin and normally evaporates the water. but that simply didn't happen because the rain continuously fell over the same areas for a period of time on friday and saturday. but the good news is that the rain has come to an end and so we'll start to dry things out rather quickly. >> thank you for that. in the 8:00 hour, we'll be joined by diplo. we mentioned that he and chris rock hitched a ride out of burning man and we'll have a leave interview with him ahead. a new poll shows donald trump dominating among his republican rivals. what about a potential trump/biden match-up? those numbers coming up. and the significance of the talks with turkey's prpresident ahead. ♪ please e don't go.. ♪ ♪ please don't go ♪

nature particularly in the republican party that donald trump continues to hold. a new "wall street journal" poll backs her up. 59% of republican primary voters support trump. he is up 11 points from april when the poll was last taken. look at this, trump is still in a dead heat with president biden in a hypothetical head to head rematch. 46% a piece. let's bring in political analyst and host of the podcast conversations with coleman, coleman hughes, as well as political analyst ron brownstein, also editor at the atlantic. his latest piece is why biden can't shake trump in the polls. ron, i think that the value of this piece, and i say this often about your analysis, is you listen to donna brazil and people talk and it is this how, why does this keep happening even after seven years of it always happening. and your piece tracks the code to some degree almost breaking out the why here. what are those four pillars? >> obviously one reason -- good

morning, happy labor day, everybody. one reason is that we're really dug in as a country and there are not many voters who will switch sides for whatever reason, whatever is going on. but beyond that, there really are four core factors i think that are shaping the environment for 2024. two of them are weakening president biden, two of them are weakening donald trump. for biden, the headwinds are concerns about his age. again today consistently in that poll three quarters of americans say they think that he is too old to serve as president for another term. and inflation. inflation is incredibly scarring for voters and it is at this point largely eclipsing the power biden has on a variety of economic fronts. you think of job creations and jobs specifically slowing out of the trail for a few years. but inflation on one side. on the other side, abortion and insurrection are weakening trump. abortion was a powerful weapon for democrats in '22. not everywhere, but in the key swing states that will likely

decide '24. including arizona and michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin. clear majority of voters wanted abortion to stay legal and a big majority of them voted for democrats and the other factor is insurrection. there is a majority of americans who believe that what he did after 2020 was illegal and unconstitutional even though republican voters overwhelmingly take the opposite position. and when you add up age and inflation on one side and abortion and insurrection on the other, what that adds up to right now is stalemate. >> coleman, i want to turn to you because we heard donna brazile admitting something that lot of people feel like they have known for the better part of eight years. so have democrats really made the adjustment that they need to do account for what she's talking about? >> it remains to be seen. and that was a great analysis i think byron just now. so you've got these two factors on even 00 side which seem to equal each other out. the question is are there -- what other factors are going to emerge. so for example independent

voters may end up caring quite a bit about the emerging hunter biden scandal. will that tip the scales? who knows. is there going to bes at trump indictments evolve, is the optics of that going to continue to help trump within the gop but hurt him with independents, which is what has happened thus far? i think that you see this 60% number, right, we should remember before the indictments, trump was polling closer to 40% and that is what you might call like the personality cult. those are the people that just like trump no matter what. after the indictments, there is another 20% of republican voters or so that have come home to trump because they feel that he is persecuted and they need to rally to his defense by nominating him. >> not so much a vote for him, but in a way a vote against the forces they are upset with. >> exactly. and in the end even though biden is in some ways a candidate with some weaknesses, trump is still not the best bet for beating him.

so in some way republicans may have to choose between nominating trump and beating biden. and the way things are looking now, it looks like they want to choose nominating trump. >> ron, to that point, because i think everybody looks at -- first up, national polls this far out on a head to head basis, i definitely want to see trend line, but i'm not totally sold on why they have a significant impact in the race. but the idea of if you break down going into a general election which has long been my question and then you look at the states that really matter, and you nailed them where it could actually come down to the fact that this is literally a georgia, pa, arizona type of moment going into the fall of 2024 when you look at those dynamics, the kind of four key pillars there, how do those states break based on those dynamics do you think? >> right. phil, first point is that we are looking at and historically small number of swing states that will almost certainly decide the winner in 2024. you know there are 40 states

that have voted the same way in each of the past four presidential elections which is the highest level of consistency since at least the turn of the 20th century. even roosevelt's four consecutive wins, not as high a share of states voted the same way. so we're looking at a tiny battlefield. and i think one thing that kind reassures democrats amid all of this bad news about biden and the resistance to biden in the polls is that in 2022, i think the results clearly he showed democrats still have an easier path to 270 than republicans especially if it is trump. i mean, democrats did win the governorship in arizona, michigan, pennsylvania and wisconsin with almost 80% of voters saying they were dissatisfied with the economy and a majority of voters saying they disapproved of booiden's performance or didn't want him to run again because of his age. but their concerns about

abortion and democracy outweigh those concerns. while the analysis is somewhat reassuring to democrats, there is a lot more anxiety than there was six or eight months ago about the persistence of the unease in the quleek electorate. it could look different over time with convictions and once you face the actual reality of trump, but they are in a more precarious situation i think than almost any of them could have imagined when the indictments started coming down. sglt re >> the reason the man feels so locked is part of the jerr gerry gerrymandering, right? in florida, a judge rejected a congressional map that ron desantis was pushing. this is a battle where desantis is fighting with fellow republicans. now, his map fully eliminated two heavily plaque black distri. can you talk about this ruling and what else is going on in florida with desantis and black voters? >> i think we're so often in the

business of delivering bad political news. i think this is a moment for restoring faith in the role of an independent judiciary because what you see right now is a republican nominated judge essentially policing his own side. right? saying that that is not a valid way of restricting the districts in florida and that is diluting the black vote. that is the role of the judiciary. and it restores faith that the judiciary is not just playing politics by other means but is actually using jurisprudence to uphold the constitution. in the context of what has been going on, we see other hopeleful examples as well. a few months ago the supreme court ruled 5-4 that alabama's restricting was similarly unconstitutional and kavanaugh and roberts sided with the liberal justices there. and you saw the new york highest court where in that case the democrat proposal for restricting was rejected. so we've seen some hopeful

examples of courts doing their jobs and providing that check and that balance. >> it is an interesting point. you see these rulings and a lot of us immediately go that is plus one d in the house races or plus two. everybody talks about gerrymandering in this top line scolding way, but this is what is supposed to happen in some degree. all right, guys, thank you. and here is what we know how the presidential race will like on labor day 2024, that is on cnn.com. very productive for a labor day weekend. ahead, we want to talk international. we'll be hearing why president zelenskyy is getting rid of his against minister as russia's war enters it 19th month. and see the moment an extravagant gender reveal turned deadly, that is next. we say . tylenol 8 hour arthritis pain has two layers of relief. the first is fast, the second is long-lasting. we give you yourur day back, so y you can give it everythin.

communities, warehouses, industrial buildings and agricultural guilt. and president zelenskyy fired his defense minister as his country enters the 19th month of war. >> translator: he has been through more than 550 days of full-scale war and i believe the ministry needs other infoformat inter interaction. >> melissa bell is live with us from ukraine with more. first let's talk about this decision. why has zelenskyy dropped his defense minister? >> reporter: what we understand is that this came at the request of the defense minister who has been widely praised for his firm record in a difficult job. but also this is drawing a line around against some of those scandals that we've seen, corruption allegations,

investigations that have gone on, procurement scandals that have emerged. many of them i think it is important to note that had to do with the early days of the war, with taxpayers money and ukrainian weapons. but not as it seeks to get more weapons from its western allies, but more broadly ukraine looks for joining nato at some point and its more fundamental aim of being able to join the european union. so kyiv has been at pains to show that it is tracking down on the corruption allegations, taking them seriously, dealing with them. and while alexi has not been tainted by them, but it allows them to draw the line even as arrests are being made and investigations drawn to a close, to draw a line after the first 18 months of the war. and now the man taking over who is widely seen as a safe pair of hands, this is a man who has after all being involved in several prisoner swaps, he is a

businessman who is also involved in the black sea grain initiative and widely seen as a very competent man to take over, but let's be clear, what might be arguably one of the hardest jobs in the world going forward. as you said, 19th month of the war. it is is not just about sustaining the war effort, but also about holding alliance together and keeping momentum there from western alleghiance members who at this point are also getting tired of this war. >> and what does this mean for this counteroffensive we've been hearing about so much? >> reporter: this will be important because again this man is taking over when they are looking to get the weapons to help feed this counteroffensive that is making progress. small assault units trying to extend the bridge head to the south, that one village that has been recaptured and it is significant because it does give them momentum and allow them to look further southward in their aims, getting the right weaponry to what will be a bigger assault

will be crucial and next week and months that will be really significant and important to making this happen. >> melissa bell, thanks for this detail. right now high stakes meeting between russian president vladimir putin and president of turkey is getting under way, a very rare visit to the country by a nato leader as war wages in ukraine. but erdogan is trying to convince putin to re-enter a deal to allow ukrainians to about por to export grain and avoid a food crisis. nic robertson is joining us. this underscores what i think is a fascinating police wlace with geopolitical landscape. he wins re-election, helps clear the way for a nato member that also seemed very much in doubt, and now this grain deal pulled off the table by president putin, trying to get it back on

track to some degree. how does this proceed? >> reporter: well, putin is saying in the opening comments we've just seen where the two of them met, sort of a pre-aamble supposedly to their meeting, putin saying we're open to negotiations. but what we've heard from the kremlin the past few days, russian position is, look, what the u.n. is offering and the u.n. saying concrete proposals to russia last week saying that we want you back in the deal and this is the way to do it, russians are saying hold on, you're just saying let's do this, there are promises in there, we want hard guarantees. but also russia has another plan. putin's got this alternate plan to get his grain, russia's grain, to international markets and that is to ship into turkey, and then have turkey ship it on to the rest of the world. ukraine has said that deal shouldn't fly, there should be

no way that russia with fwart a thwart and subvert this up brokered gain deal. all of ukraine's backers are saying russia needs to get back into compliance, this was russia's war of choice, the reason they can't get grain to international markets the way it wants to is because it started a war. easy solution, right? end the war you would think. but putin seems to be trying to negotiate for some leverage something better, perhaps better access to international financial markets. russia's point is they are not getting their goods to market the way they want to and ukraine shouldn't be able to do it and they have been blocking it and that is where things stand. can erdogan make a difference? potentially. but putin wants his alter in a plan. >> global ramifications are immense. keep us posted. thank burger king is facing a

lawsuit from customers who say they did not have it their way. we'll speak to a lawyer suing the company. and as students head back too school, one important supply could be left off the list, adhd medication, the impact of the nationwide shortage is ahead. >> this is the first time that me and other people are adhd are starting the schooling year without our medication and i think time will tell whether or not we sink or swim as a collective adhd community.

if your -- have if your way. but many say they are not getting it that way and they are suing claims that the pictures are bigger than what they actually got. a class action lawsuit alleges

that burger king advertises itsburgers as largeburgers compared to competitors. burger king has responded in a statement saying that the plaintiffs' claims are false, the beef patties are the same used in the millions of whopper sandwiches we serve to guests. joining us now is a lawyer behind the class action lawsuit and has filed similar lawsuits against wendy's, mcdonald's and taco bell. thanks for taking the time. let's start with from an average person who watches tv, sees advertisements, occasionally eats fast food against his wife's wishes, what is the difference between puffery and deceit in this case? >> well, we used the good old fashioned eye test. if what you see is what you get.

you can clearly see the difference from what is being advertised as opposed to what you unwrap when you get the actual product. >> how does an eye test serve as something that can be the basis for an actual lawsuit? i could look at any number of things and say this that doesn't look like it looks on tv, that pretty much comprises all advertising to some degree. >> well, when i say eye test, i mean, there is clearly a definitive weight that you can. use to determine it. but clearly you can see what you are buying and what is being advertised. >> and so from the percentage basis, i think the number was 35% xen cwhen chomparing real lo ads.

where does that 35% say from? >> well, there are food stylists, professionals in strit that would be able to determine those kind of things. and that is where you get into your experts. >> when you file a suit like this and when the people involved file a suit like this, what is the goal here? is it compensation, is it to get payback for the 35% per burger that you weren't getting if you are on this suit, or is it to change advertising itself? >> first and foremost as consumer advocates which is what we do, we're trying to bring about change. sometimes change is difficult to accomplish without putting some kind of a monetary penalty or monetary component to it. so there is going to be a financial or monetary component to the claim. however, change is mostly what is determined behind what we're doing. >> and i think in that sense particularly when framed as a consumer advocate, if this were a situation where any one of

these fast food companies were to say we will change our advertising in line with what you are asking for if you drop the suit, is that something that you would say would be on the table or something that is acceptable? >> that is something that we'd have to unfortunately consult with our clients and co-counsels to decide. but, you know, there has been quite a bit of time and effort put into this and i think that it is really necessary to bring about change, but also to make sure that there is some compensation with the general public. you are talking about tens of thousands potentially hundreds of thousands of people that have been affected. >> how much of the money i think if you put out a baseline for you win this case and you get $5 million, or $8 million, how much of that goes to the people that you are saying were hurt or hindered in this case and how much of that goes to you? >> well, in a class action lawsuit, they will establish a class and the class will be funded by, you know, the amount

of the settlement. and then people will come forward depending on how much there are, usually the attorneys' fees are determined by the judge and it is done on an hourly basis with some sort of a formula that arrives at where, yyou know, the work is compensated adequately for the amount of time that was put in. >> and the question coming from the sense that there has been an uptick of suits like this against fast food companies and i think that you are involved in three or four of them at this point. so the question immediately becomes, you know, why, right? is this something that from a consumer advocacy perspective or something where you see an opening here, there is clearly a movement forward on these cases and therefore you're going to target every fast food restaurant you see? >> well, it is not really targeting every fast food restaurant we see. there are plenty of times we've been asked give us an example of a company that has, you know, that is doing it right comes to

mind. there are several companies that are doing it correct. we would say domino's pizza, a dunkin donuts, those are companies that aren't advertising to the extent that these other companies are advertising and bringing about, you know, the necessity for these kind of suits. so it is really something that we feel as consumer advocates is blatantly in the face of what consumers are asking for and, you know, we've acted accordingly. >> it is interesting, a lot of talk about shrinkflation, the fact that these suits are not only happening but seem to be edge forward a little bit. anthony russo, we appreciate your time. thanks so much. >> thank you very much. and the manhunt intensifies for a convicted murderer who escaped a pennsylvania prison last week. and residents where he was last seen are on edge. >> the fact that this guy is still out there after all this time, it is insane. and brave i know ♪

this morning no rest for investigators pursuing an escaped convict in pennsylvania. police believe he is still within a two mile radius. police have received more than 100 tips since he broke out on thursday. polo sandoval is joining us now. >> hard to believe it has been four days since danelo cavalcante broke out of a prison and yet they have not tracked him down. there is hope that they have an idea more or less of where he is and that is mainly the search that they are focusing on right now. this is about 40 miles west of philadelphia. at the same time it is also, here is the thing, less than two miles when you look at this map less than two miles from the chester county prison which is where cavalcante, this 34-year-old convict, actually

escaped from. initially authorities had said friday that they were worried maybe he was on his way to mexico and his native brazil eventually. but then this ring camera video surfaced over the weekend, turned out the resident spotted cavalcante in that footage. so this area is heavily wooded, there are hundreds of homes according to authorities. so what we've seen is authorities going door to door and asking residents for permission to go into the home to clear them. one of the biggest concerns for authorities is that maybe cavalcante has broken into a house of somebody who has been away for the labor day weekend. so they are urging residents to be extra careful if they are coming back after being away for a few days if they notice anything out of the ordinary to pick up the phone and call authorities. he is a small guy, about 5 feet, about 120 pounds, curly hair. and authorities are in the air, on the ground searching for him. >> and people have called with tips? >> they have received about 100 tips and they believe he may

have tried to break into a couple of houses. but again they are really focusing on this area with hundreds of homes. quick background, he had just started serving a life conviction after being convicted for stabbing his girlfriend to death in front of her children. so it speaks to the dangerous nature of this individual. and so they stress this over and over, this is an extremely dangerous individual. if they see any sign of him, pick up the phone and call authorities. >> and in the meantime does anyone know how he escaped? >> still a big question. over the weekend authorities did say that they will be in a position to eventually share that information. but right now, it is all about finding him. >> all right. polo, thanks. gender reveal celebration in mexico turning deadly after the pilot hired to fill the air with pink smoke ended up crashing in front of the guests. you can see a couple standing in front of a sign that reads oh, baby surrounded by balloons. moments later the aircraft releases the smoenk and then you see it twist and the plane
