need is to have the worst day of our lives violently and constantly shoved in our faces what's going on here what an incredible citizen a father grieving and add his wits end and, you know, leaders are supposed to ease the suffering, are supposed to lift up people who are struggling and are supposed to honor a1's memory. >> and instead of leading, instead of being a support, they're using this tragic death to further divide an anger and scare people you know, a1's dad is exactly the kind of person that i grew up with my family, my mama tibetan refugee, dad, an indian immigrant, move to the dayton area in a community near springfield. and the only reason that i'm now mayor of my town just an hour north, cincinnati is because of people

like him who welcomed my family into the community in and around springfield and lifted this up. that is the kind of people we are in southwest ohio and we reject any attempt to try and divide us and increase the hate in our country i have not yet seen a response from the trump campaign to what mr. clark is his said this week, but we will continue to look for that and ask for that matter app to have pure evolves cincinnati. >> thank you. new hour of cnn, new news central starts now harris campaign trolling trump on twitter. >> they have new ads and tour in more speaking engagements trying to build off of a post-debate high, while trump also hits the trail again. and continuing to say he is the real debate with him. and history made miles above earth the first ever commercial spacewalk is wrapping up and you'll hear their first disc it's patch outside the polaris

dawn capsule in just moments and at least 30 people have been hurt after a truck crashed into an elk's lodge in arizona. what happened there will discuss it all i'm sara sidner with kate baldwin and john berman. this is cnn new central president kamala harris were turning you to the campaign trail as her campaign says, it is moving into a new phase. >> what they are calling a more aggressive phase. tim walz will join harris to kick off another tour of battleground states. this one they are calling the new way forward tour. and with that the campaign is expected to launch a slew of new tv and digital ads leaning into debate moments from this week, the first one released just yesterday, cnn's isaac dovere has more reporting on all of this and kind of what does a more aggressive phase look like? what? compared to what

were they doing being decidedly being less aggressive before i mean, what talk me through this well we have that weaken august of the democratic convention and all the good feelings democrats had them then harris was pretty quiet over the week following she did that interview with dana bash, obviously, but that was the main thing that they did a little bit of campaign than choose in debate prep locked up in a hotel in pittsburgh, getting ready for that debate. >> that was on tuesday night now, it's actually back to the campaign trail. we don't know whether there's going to be a second presidential debate. the harris campaign says they want one. donald trump has been sort of all over the place on whether he would agree to it, saying it seems like no, at this point. but that means that the harris campaign has to actually get out there and do the work on the campaign trail, trying to convince voters that even though there is still getting to know her, even though they may have felt good about the debate sure. still feeling good about the democratic convention. there's still winning over voters state

by state, county by county, looking for what they continue to project will be a very tight margin in almost every one of these battleground states. >> absolutely, isaac, when your great reporting as always, and no time like the present early voting is happening very, very soon in a very big way this month in many states, it's good to see if thank you. john. >> all right. breaking this morning and endorsement for vice president kamala harris from the republican attorney general under president george w bush, alberto gonzales, writes, i can't sit quietly as donald trump, perhaps the most serious threat to the rule of law in a generation. eyes are returned to the white house and former attorney general alberto gonzales joins me now he's the dean of the belmont university college of law, judge gonzalez. thank you so much for being with us why? i've watched his campaign

closely as many other republicans. and by the way, there, there are a host of republicans and republican lawyers in particular who are concerned about the possibility of balance trump becoming president again because of his lack of as, we, see it, lack of support, lack of willingness to abide by the rule of law. and for lawyers, that is extremely important. >> and i think kamala harris has demonstrated fidelity to the rule of law obviously, there a lot of unknown questions about her. >> those questions are being answered for me. i thought her performance during the convention was good. i thought her debate performance was outstanding, quite frankly and the final thing that i would just say is even after the election, whoever wins we're still going to have a divided country, right? there'll be 70 million people that may disagree with the views of the new precedent. i think about who is most willing to work to unite our country and in making

that calculation for me, it's fairly easy. i view kamala harris is somewhat based on rhetoric and our history as someone most likely to be dedicated to try to unite america. i don't see that that discipline that willingness and donald trump and for those reasons and many others this is why i think it's important to come out publicly and say that that i think that kamala harris is a better choice in this particular election. >> so it is interesting because there are other republicans who will say, you know what i'm not going to vote for donald trump, but i'm also not going to vote for kamala harris or i'm not going to vote for donald trump is not going to tell you who i'm voting for, write someone else in you're doing something different here. why do you think that's significant well, you'll have to tell me whether or not it's significant and others will not to. >> we'll have to determine whether it's significant i do believe based upon all the reporting, this is going to be an extremely close race. and so

every vote for kamala harris makes it more likely that donald trump will not be elected. and so i think i think really if people have concerns about a trump presidency it seems to me that the best course of action is to try to prevent it from happening, which of course means that you will need to go out and vote, gets your friends, your family, to be supportive of kamala harris's campaign. listen, you know, obviously 11 a bad debate does not mean you cannot be a great president and one good debate doesn't necessarily mean you're going to be a great president but nonetheless, looking at the history of both individuals, my calculation is, is that she is the right choice at this particular time and i'm happy to be supportive of her you know, what people are going to say. >> i know the political piece you wrote that in politico came out just like an hour-and-a-half ago, so i don't know how much time for it objection. there's been but i guarantee you if it hasn't

happened yet, it will happen where people are going to say alberto gonzalez rhino republican in name only can't i can't help and i've stopped a long time ago, john and worrying about what people may think. i'd like to have them think about though, what is best for this country for the lawyers, i would say, who is best? suited to preserve the rule of law based upon their rhetoric and based upon their history, the rule of law is what allows us as americans to enjoy our freedoms. if we lose the rule of law, then we lose our freedoms and so for me that's vitally important whether or not people think that i'm a republican or whatever i do have some experience in terms of decision-making in the oval office. and i know what's important, at least from my perspective in terms of the integrity the discipline, the courage of the president, united states. and i just happen to believe that kamala

harris is the right person for the job at this time? >> i mean, i've covered you since the late 90s when you were an official in ten republican official in texas and the white house counsel, and attorney general again, someone who has been a republican for a long, long time, what advice would you give the harris campaign in appealing? two republicans around the country well, it's not my, you know, i don't think that i'm the right person to give me advice with respect to campaigns. >> i think just simply outreach continue the message of unity and continue a positive message. i think that's extremely powerful going back to another democratic president, one of the things i really admired about barak obama, even though i didn't agree with all of his policies the fact that he talked to talked in such a hopeful way about the future of our country. i think americans respond automatically to a hopeful, positive message and this, this talk about the united states being in decline, becoming a third world country

that we're a disgrace were an embarrassment to me. that's the embarrassment that kind of rhetoric. we are the greatest country in the face of the earth. we are lucky to be in america. we are lucky to be americans. and i think that our leader could have, that same kind of attitudes are talking that same kind of language. and so i think, i think one of the best things that the harris campaign can do is to continue to talk about unity continued to talk about a positive message that we are not going to go back to a negative message. i think that is probably a very effective give message. >> judge alberto gonzalez, i appreciate talking to you. this is not a conversation. i thought it'd be have 20 years ago. thanks so much for your time this morning sara all right. new this morning, the current attorney general, merrick garland, going on the offense, vowing the department of justice this won't be used as a political weapon after donald trump's recent comments accusing it of such and floating in the vacuum of space. the history door spacewalk on the spacex polaris

as a political weapon himself against his political enemies if he is elected president scene and justice correspondent jessica schneider has details from washington. >> what are you hearing that this statement and speech is going to be all about for miracle? >> well, it's going to be a little bit later this morning, sara and you know, it's interesting because the attorney general, he's spoken out before against these threats and attacks that doj officials and especially fbi agents have faced in recent years. but the speech he will give later this morning. we've seen the excerpts. it's especially forceful and while he doesn't directly refer to donald trump by name, it really does seem to be slamming trump and his allies efforts to slander the justice department and this speech will push back against all of those efforts to make it appear that doj is being used as a political weapon so the attorney general will be at the justice department. he'll be addressing all of his employees it's excerpts from his speech were released and he's going to say this. he's going to say it is dangerous to target and intimidate individual employees

of this department simply for doing their jobs will go on to say, and it is outrageous that you have to face these unfounded attacks because you are doing what is right and upholding the rule of law. that of course is the centerpiece of the attorney general whenever he talks, he talks about the rule of law and you know, trump and his allies, they have repeatedly and falsely claimed that the doj has been weaponized against the former president. they've publicly discuss those plans to dismantle doj and the fbi they've also threatened to prosecute their own political enemies. so attorney general garland will stress this morning, the doj operates and really an impartial manner that he strives in particular every day to protect the independence of the department from political interference. so sara, this speech is notable because we've seen the attorney general before bond to attacks against his employees. mostly in testimony to congress at various times in response to questions from the press. but this is a specific speech and

very forceful, focused on these efforts to slam. he's going to slam these efforts to turn doj into a political weapon and it's a very forceful speech that's really just focused on this, something we really haven't seen him do before. so it's going to be very poignant, especially for the employees he's addressing who have sustain these threats and attacks. sara and i know you will be watching as well. >> we jessica schneider. thank you so much for your reporting this morning. john alright. >> extra security for a peaceful transition. the secret service confirms when congress will get the full weight of the federal government behind the security for this year's january 6 and the pilot who's alaska airlines flight lost a door in midair, talks about what happened for the first time i didn't know that there was a hole in the airplane until we landed return back

beat on tnt of work to do, but from here, looks like a perfect little kind of the first ever dispatch from the first ever commercial spacewalk that happened just a short time ago, commander jared isaac mean tech billionaire he just said what a view from space with us. now cnn's kristin fisher on this historic mission, they're now back inside their back inside john and this spacewalk is now complete. >> i mean spacex, the entire polaris dawn crew, they have to be incredibly happy and relieved quite frankly because the riskiest parts of their mission are now behind them. you know, it started with flying farther into space than

any humans since the apollo program. flying through the radiation belt, they did that. but the riskiest part of this mission was very early this morning. as you can see there, when jared isaac men, the commander of the mission chin, and then mission specialist and spacex employee, sarah gillis, followed him shortly behind. they were outside of the dragon spacecraft for about 20 minutes. the whole eva or the whole spacewalk lasted about two hours. and john, the reason this is so significant is because it's the first time nonprofessional nongovernment astronauts have ever ventured out into the vacuum of space and done a spacewalk it's also the first time that spacex has ever designed, built manufactured these brand-new spacesuits. the first american made space suits, new ones in 40 years, john. so the fact that those space suits

performed beautifully today protected those astronauts, and the fact that the dragon spacecraft also held up in the vacuum of space. it's not just the astronauts and their spacesuits that have to be kept save from the vacuum. it's all the hardware and technical components inside the spacecraft as well so everything performed very well. now there back safely inside and just look at those views. john i remember when spacex and polaris dawn first announced this mission and it seemed wildly ambitious. borderline, aggressive. even jared isaac men and some of the crew members had talked about they weren't sure they could fit all of this stuff into one mission. now spacex and the polaris dawn team have done it and they will be he heading back to earth this weekend, john? >> yeah. >> which we now and then anything left for them to accomplish while they're up there there is a surprise that they are going to be sharing

with the world a little bit later. >> i can't say what that surprise is just yet but but it's going to be i think something fun that folks will want to watch. they're also going to continue to conduct scientific experiments. and one of the things they're doing is they're testing they're putting a contact lens in there. i that makes you look kind of like a robot. they call it the cyborg experiment. and what they're doing is they're testing how you're the pressure in your eye holds up in weightlessness and microgravity because a lot of astronauts that go to space, their vision deteriorates over time and you know, pilots astronauts, you need good vision when you're in space. so that's just one of the many experiments that they're doing while they're up there, they're also raising funds for st. jude's children's hospital. and then of course, doing the world's first commercial spacewalk, which let's completed. >> so we're waiting to find out what that big surprise is. i know i am rooting for mime

because we haven't had enough space. mine in our lives. right. kristen fisher. thank you very much for that is what i now want you to know what the surprise it is lime, i think it is not good grief. >> all right. john berman let's say the alaska airlines copilot on the january flight that had that door blow out, is sharing what it is like on that flight at that time, she talked to cbs news seats and injuries and are you thinking when they said empty seats that you've lost people? >> yes and i remember it not taking very long for us to confirm we had 177 souls onboard that had to be an emotional roller coaster. >> yeah i was so thankful. >> i was in shock i disbelief

everybody was there what a harrowing situation she found herself in the first officer, emily witt, brad told cbs as you heard there, that those empty seats really frightened her. >> she thought that perhaps some of those passengers have died fortunately, no one died. she said that there were some things, however, that were sucked out of the plane, including her headset and some airplane parts. the ntsb's preliminary report indicated that there were four key bolts missing when the boeing max nine aircraft left the factory. boeing says it is cooperating fully with the investigation while we've seen that and everything turned out okay. >> yeah. her reactions are really shows how scary it was for a seasoned pilots like how tragic it could have been she feels responsible for everyone. so thank god really amazing coming up for us still surveillance video caught the wild moment that a truck slammed into a building, injuring 30 people and tracking

>> the night before that, she had announced her support for kamala harris and one voter registration group has pointed to a huge spike in traffic and telling cnn the swift effect is undeniable. >> let's look at all of this. harry enten is here light, or to be the judge on that this all gets to young voters. yeah. >> how much does she need help? how can yeah. >> i mean, why does kamala harris welcome taylor swift's? support? why does she need the help? well, let's just point out something that i have been noting. all along during this campaign and that is the underperformance that both joe biden and now even kamala harris has among young voters, right? so this is the democrat versus trump margin among voters aged 18 29 are under the age of 30. you go back four years ago at this point. look, joe biden had a 28 point advantage at 28 point advantage over donald trump. now, you look when joe biden dropped out of the race, he was up by just seven points now, come on, harris has improved on joe biden standing, but look at this she's only up by 15

points. that is significantly less than joe biden was up at this point among the youngest voters in our electorate. it's only about half the margin that joe biden was pulling in so kamala harris was absolutely welcome in the support of taylor swift, if she can move young voters at all, because the bottom line is kamala harris is in fact not doing as well among young voters as you might expect a democrat to necessarily be doing based upon history. >> and what we heard from taylor swift last night was a call to register to vote and get involved why how much of voter registration and why is that key? how important is yeah. >> i mean, look, let's go to the key battleground states of pennsylvania and north carolina. alright. and what we're gonna do here is look at the democratic advantage over republicans in voter registration. this is party registration registering as a democrat or republican, or unaffiliated. look, if you go back to september of 2020, look among active voters in the great commonwealth of pennsylvania, democrats would look at that a 559,000 it's an

voter edge over republicans. you jumped. now, look, democrats still have an edge, but look how much that's dropped. it's now just 169,000 were talking about the republicans closing the gop by nearly 400,000 voters. it just a four-year time span. you've got a north carolina the same exact trend, right? you go back to september of 2020. you see democrats with a 415,000 voter edge. and now they still hold an edge, but it's just 128,000. and of course, most of these states were determined by less than 100,000 voters back in 2020. so the bottom line is republicans have been doing significantly better job of registering voters than democrats have been doing over the last four years and getting folks to switch over from democratic registration to republican registration. so yeah, kamala harris would definitely welcome the idea if taylor swift could bring in some more younger voters, democratic leaning voters in the electorate, because the bottom line is republicans have been doing a heck of a lot better job of registering voters than democrats have over the last four years. >> in this, this seems like a warning sign where, you know, in the results of it, we have to wait and see right.

registration doesn't equal votes, but it's, it is something of an indicator indicator you gave indicated. what is the swift effect? >> yeah. what is the swift effect? so look, what do we know? visitors to vote.gov due to taylor swift, who clicked on that link on her instagram the post as of 2pm yesterday. look how many folks clicked on that link? it was 338,000 folks. now, not all those folks obviously are going to register to vote, but the bottom line is this is a ton of folks who could be entering the electorate. look, it's not necessarily something that's going to change the election if donald trump ends up winning by two or three point. but of course the votes in these key battleground states it's are so so tight that any help that you could get at all. this is a clear effect of folks going and getting interested, registered to vote. you saw last night taylor swift again urging folks to go registered democrats will take any of the help because the bottom line is this election is so close that any small impact could be on the impact in the world. kate are you saying turnout matters? >> turnout. turnout. >> turnout sara you to goose.

all right. so how much of an impact might taylor swift make with young board is? i'm joined now by cnn political commentator van jones. he's also a former obama administration official, and meridith mcgraw national politics of correspondent for politico. dan to you, we have to see if there is a swifty effect. i am coining the phrase yes, a swifty effect she certainly had an effect on people being interested in registering to vote. we don't know if they actually did. they did click on the link do you think she could make an impact because you and i have talked about this for usually celebrities don't really, they don't really change people's minds. >> well, here's the thing. what she can do is to motivate people who might have been kamala curious to actually look at kamala harris as an option? you do have a whole different world. you and i, we watch television. we were we know the news, we hopefully everybody at home watching us every day. a lot of people don't wake up

calls and political class, a lot of people don't follow every donald trump press conference, everything calming here and so, and so, when they're on in their instagram, their tiktok when taylor swift is she moves her left elbow, its massive news. and so what you're doing is you're creating an on-ramp to politics for generation of young people that may not honestly have been paying attention at all and so just the mere fact that you get a little bit of a lookie loo that people are looking over over there gives common harrison advantage that she would not have had with people who are not political junkies. >> that is a heck of a lot of people, 337,000 people million people, right? >> right. do you mean he says on the click on the link? millions of people there's 300,000 people, as you said, who clicked, but she has 300 million social media followers. >> she's got more social media followers and a lot of countries have citizens, right? that's a big deal. it's about the size of united states from all over the world all right, i

want to talk about swing states because this is an incredibly close race and we need to recognize that debbie dingell congresswoman from michigan, talked about her particular state, which was a huge state and a state that hillary clinton really needed and lost during her campaign against donald trump. let's listen to what debbie dingell said think michigan is a dead heat. >> people know, but there's just a lot of people in the middle. i don't understand a times what people see in donald trump, they know what will happen to this country if he's president again but they believe strongly, and i it's just closer than people realize meredith white is this race is so incredibly literally historically close. when you look at the polling right now well, we're seeing that there still remain millions of

undecided voters. >> and these people are younger. they seem to skew little bit male and there are a lot of educated women who were in this group who still have not made up their minds about harris or trump and both campaigns are working hard to try to win them over. and also find out where they are in these key battleground states so that they can campaign there and they can tailor their messaging for them. and the trump campaign and the harris campaign are on this blitz. in the next few days to try to go to these battleground states and make their message for the harris campaign to try to move forward with the momentum they have after the debate. and for trump to try to reach set, and refocus on the policy issues that he failed to really talk about the other night than i do to you. i don't remember and maybe you've been doing you've been in this game a lot longer than i have but i'm not sure i

remember ever hearing someone say we really have to focus on the male vote the men's vote, but the men are actually making a difference here and they are going towards donald trump. >> yeah. >> well, look, we have a gender gap. was there's been one for a while. that's not new, but what's deal was i think the intensity of it, i think donald trump is running a very masculine nest campaign, com was not running a feminist campaign, and she's not underscoring the fact that she's a woman. hillary clinton did that, didn't work out as well. but there is this kind of masculine approach where you're going to what's called the manosphere, was a bunch of podcasts are really aimed at men. he's trying to get bringing a lot of the so-called bro culture. and it does that have in effect a lot of young men are saying that they don't feel the democratic party season in a good light. they think the democratic party sees all men as being quote-unquote toxic and that's starting to have an effect. and so i think

kamala harris has an opportunity to make up some ground here because i know her personally. nobody more enthusiastic about young men being successful, that a former prosecutor, she she's been somebody rooting for young men in california to get jobs, to get out of trouble, to get on their way. that needs to be underscored more given the dynamics of the race i do want to talk to you about something that the campaign did. the harris on twitter as one does, and they trolled donald trump, but i want you to see it. they said, this is our latest campaign ad and what is it? >> it is simply the entire debate this levee that's, that's got to mike drop on that. i love it as it's funny because like it'd been she she wapt them and i think that com harris did something that no politicians able to do in this whole past decade, donald trump has been

eaten up. politicians like pac-man he went through 16 republican governors and senators, what them and made it look easy. kamala harris went out there and she just owned him on every question. and i just think that she's right. i think that's larry it's an interesting way. i think it's definitely a drill meredith when you are looking at this race and you sort of see some of the things that are being done does she kamala harris need to do more to explain to the public what her policies are because that's the thing that keeps coming up in polling well, that people don't really know what her policies are all about well, that's one of the big questions that a lot of voters have. >> what are her policies? how is she going to try to differentiate herself? from president biden and who is kamala harris? you a lot of voters know donald trump, know who he is. and one of the goals of the harris campaign has been

trying to introduce her to the public and help the public understand who she is, what her story is and that's something we saw on the debate stage. her talking about her upbringing, and trying to help voters get where she's coming from. but for the harris campaign, they're really going to have to try to articulate, i think more clearly to voters exactly what some of her policy points our as she gets out there on the campaign trail and we know from the campaign that she's going to be doing more interviews, something we haven't seen her do. a lot of in the past weeks and that she's going to be really trying to do expand on her her outreach to voters that have questions about who she is and what her policies are miracle girl and van jones, by the way, van jones don't think i missed the gen x shout out with to the pac-man and the weapon because those are with my backside from

some of those weapons. we got an x candidate gene x kendi thank you so much van, right, john, over to you, john smirking because you know what that's all about? a young, young man. >> today, u.s. secretary state anthony blinken is in ukraine as president. biden faces mounting pressure to loosen the country's weapons restrictions. democratic senator jeanne shaheen in is the latest lawmaker calling for those restrictions to be lifted. so ukraine can reach critical russian targets. here's the situation. the u.s is telling ukraine you can only use u.s weapons to conduct cross-border strikes right over the border, not deep into russia with u.s. made weapons. cnn anchor and chief national security analyst jim sciutto joins us now with the importance of this, ask really gin listen, this is a pattern we've seen john with virtually ever, ever major new weapons system provided by the u.s. >> to ukraine. it happened with

tanks, it happened with high-mars atacms f-16s. and now the ability to use some of those weapons systems, particularly the atacms, long-range missile system inside of russia. and it's a battle, right? because this administration is concerned about escalation with russia specifically, that this becomes a conflict between the u.s. and russia as opposed to between ukraine, backed by the u.s. and its allies and russia and you have these various little decision points here, right? like will russia read this system as so advanced? and the use of this system to attack russian territory as in effect, a u.s. attack on russian territory. that's been the issue. now the criticism and you're seeing it now from, for instance, within the president's own party, jeanne shaheen, but also close u.s. allies. is that they've worried about that with every weapon system. come around to providing that weapon system, it's helped ukraine and it

hasn't led to an escalation. so you do have criticism from some inside the us alliance that this has been a slow process here's senator jeanne shaheen saying in light of putin's ineasingly horrific attacks on civilians the targets, it's time to lift restrictions on the use of long-range u.s.-provided provided weapons to allow ukraine to reach high value russian military targets the point being there right? russia certainly using its territory to rain down missiles, not just on military targets in ukraine, but on people, right civilian infrastructure it's killing civilians in their homes, kids, families in their homes. so the argument is why put this put these handcuffs on, right? and i'll just tell you, john, it was interesting to see the u.s. secretary of state next to the polish foreign minister, just a few minutes ago, where secretary blinken said, okay we've always been adapting. we may adapt again here, the polish foreign minister said, hey, we've always thought it's okay for ukraine to use

weapons on russia to stop war crimes, right? i mean, that's not mincing words there, saying russia's devastating ukraine in so many ways they shouldn't have to face these kinds of restrictions. so this is the latest chapter in a long story one of the things you tend to hear from people like the polish foreign minister and zelenskyy himself is ultimately the u.s. >> you do say yes just get to yes. much more quickly and it will put ukraine in a much better situation. jim sciutto, great reporting, great to see you this morning. thank you so much. that's an excellent point. >> you're gonna get there just get there faster. yeah. >> i'm still for us right now, nearly 400,000 people in louisiana are still without power this morning after francine made landfall as a category two hurricane. how it's looking there this morning as flood watches are in effect for 14 million people today across the southeast. now, in the path of francine and a runaway penguin say given by a typhoon, a survival story that her keeper calls a miracle

>> i'm elizabeth wagmeister in los angeles. and this is cnn there are no reporting today on efforts to bolster security at the capitol as federal authorities are looking ahead to january 6, 2025 all in an effort to stop a repeat insurrection before it can even start seen as lauren fox has this new reporting just joining us now super bowl levels, security is how some are describing it, explain yeah, we are hearing from the secret service that they are now going to designate the certification of the election on january 6, 2025, as a national special security event. and what this means is increased security presence on capitol hill a broader and wider perimeter than we saw on january 6, 2021, as well as new technologies to sort of help bolster the security. here here at the u.s. capitol building. now, this was

one of the recommendations from the select january 6 committee that they made at the end of their ten years there. we also of course, are getting a statement from secret service laying out what this means for just a few months from now, here at the capitol, they say quote, do us secret service in collaboration with our federal, state, and local partners are committed to developing end plummeting a comprehensive and integrated security plan to ensure the safety and security of this event. and its participants. now but obviously, there are also conversations happening up here on capitol hill about how to ensure election integrity, as well as how to talk about the election then no matter who wins after november that obviously played a huge role in inspiring people to come to the capitol and then break the perimeter at capitol on january 6 back in 2021. so that is an important component as well. but you're getting the sense here that they are preparing

just to ensure we're more safety up here on capitol hill lauren, it's great to see you and great reporting. >> thank you. sir. >> all right. on our radar this morning, a life-saving mission that's how the u.s. for service is describing what firefighters are doing the angeles national forest in southern california. that is where the bridge fire as it's being called, has scorched nearly 48,000 acres. it's just north of los angeles the wildfire remains 0% contained this morning, at least 30 people were injured after a pickup truck. >> watch this good grief for a pickup truck there slammed into an el ploger in arizona on saturday, apache junction police identified the driver, a 73-year-old thomas kane. >> they say kaine was leaving the lodgment vehicle crashed into the building. he is charged with aggravated assault, endangerment and dui. cnn has reached out for comment and has not heard anything back a runaway pay when has been found safe. thank goodness. he's got like qt in japan

nearly two weeks after she first met missing. how did she do it? by paddling 28 miles during a typhoon in a survival story, her keeper called miraculous, the six-year-old kate penguin named pen, was swimming with staff when she suddenly swam through a hole in her enclosure out into the open waters, her keeper says she avoided boat collisions and getting caught and nets because of the stormy conditions she is back with her staff and resting comfortably. i'm not saying this. yes, i am fantastic news. john penguin on the lam you can headline that story this morning. >> turmoil in an ohio community after donald trump and j.d. vance continue spreading baseless and false claims that haitian immigrants are stealing and eating pets seen as omar jimenez went to springfield, ohio to speak with migrants about the impact this rumor is having

is the head of the haitian community held support center in springfield, ohio. >> he came to the united states about four years ago from haiti, and he hasn't just question the nature of the recent rumors. he's questioned what they will do to his community it's just like yeah, it's just like the gadsar discrimination and racist and they do not normally take time to see the impact that can have on the mental health of the immigrants fleeing the country from all kinds of chaos to be clear, former president donald trump's claims are not supported by evidence in a statement to cnn, a spokesperson for the city of springfield said there have

been no credible reports or specific claims of pets being harmed, injured, or abused by individuals within the immigrant community? but all of this has also come as part of the very real surge in haitian population in springfield we have realistically than saying 12 to 15,000 immigrants as what we've probably have counted through the health department and other agencies and they are here legally under the immigration parole program. >> once here, immigrants are then eligible to apply for temporary protected status. haitian temporary protected status was recently extended and redesignated for haiti, mainly due to violent anarchy in the country but the total population of springfield is around 58,000. so that's around 25% haitian. and the growing pains in the community have not always been easy. state officials say it's stressing resources that obviously represents a massive increase based upon percentage the population in springfield, it

is unprecedented in such a short period of time, fell, got much simply has to be part of the solution they have to step up. is their policies that have created the surgeries, the influx of haitians has also manifested itself in other ways, including a tragedy, specifically in 2023 when 11-year-old aid and clark was killed in a springfield bus crash, one that involved a haitian immigrant who had their driver's license that was not valid in ohio as reported by the new york times, a1's father declined to speak on camera, but as others have posted about the tragedy recently, he told cnn in a statement, we just want our family out of the news and for aid and to not be mentioned in regards to politics putting aside any unverified theories about cats and dogs, they'll brynn dorsainville, also haitian, says he understands the criticisms about the strain on resources caused by the influx of immigrants i
