unsealed the evidence. he says shows the former president resorted to crimes to stay in office after he lost. and president biden soon leaves see firsthand, more of the devastation left by hurricane helene. now the deadliest hurricane since hurricane katrina, i'm sara sidner with john berman. kate is out today. this is cnn new central and unlikely duo on the campaign trail, vice president kamala harris joined by former republican congresswoman liz cheney, and a critical swing states, cheney is of course, not just any republican, the former house gop conference chair and daughter of former vice president dick cheney supporting harris, even as she acknowledges, she has disagreements on policy. the two women will speak at the birthplace of the republican party the schoolhouse were abolitionists launched the gop in 18 54. it's all part of the

harris campaign's direct appeal to republican and independent voters in crucial battlegrounds. cnn's priscilla alvarez is joining us now this morning. tell us more about what we expect to see and hear today with these two powerful women well, spec that we're going to get a nod to some of what the former congresswoman has said in her endorsement of the vice president last month, which is that former president donald trump poses a danger to democracy and that the vice president is committed to upholding the rule of law and the constitution. and that alone should serve as a reminder to voters, even if there are differences in policy that is something that of course, liz cheney it has talked about before, but of course, this is a notable visit from any of the reasons that you outlined this. of course, is part of the broader strategy by the harris campaign to appeal to a broad swath of

voters and move those undecided voters away from former president donald trump. and last month, of course, when liz cheney he did endorse the vice president that was yet another example that the campaign seized on, that they are bringing republicans into the fold. in fact, remember that during the democratic national convention, there was a whole part of that program that was dedicated to highlighting republicans who are voting for the vice president. so this is an ongoing strategy the in one that we are going to see a lot more of in the last homestretch of this election cycle. now the wisconsin, of course, is close state, it's a critical state for the vice president. polls show that she has a slight edge over former president donald trump, as she's of course, trying to maintain that edge with his appearance alongside liz cheney today. of course, the first time that they've come together since that endorsement, and we will see more of this strategy unfold in the battleground states including pennsylvania,

michigan, arizona, and nevada, georgia, north carolina. so certainly more to come on all of this. but what it tells us is that this is a campaign that is now doubling down on this strategy of bringing in the undecided voters and the republicans who are just not interested in former president donald trump, but also trying to appeal to folks who are not die-hard democrats, but maybe swayed with big names like liz cheney to vote for the vice president, even if there are differences in policy, sara, she is one of several republicans, two of whom spoke at the democratic national convention as well, who are voting for kamalaharris and trying to support her. thank you so much. priscilla alvarez. appreciate your reporting there from washington john. >> all right. with us now, the former vice chair of the dnc, michael blake and the former press adviser to then house speaker john boehner, maura gillespie, i want to talk about liz cheney and i do want to stipulate the five years ago, this would have been unimaginable. it just would have she was the number three republican in the house really conservative, rock-ribbed, conservative. dick cheney all that that said or their

republican voters out there in swing states to see a liz cheney endorsement now after anything that happens and say, hey, you know, liz cheney is voting for kamalaharris. so i might also the fact that she's out on the campaign trail today with her, again, to your 0.5 years ago, i would have never guessed that she would be out there campaigning with kamala harris for kamala harris. >> but because she is she has conservative credentials to back her up. but i think this speaks volumes and what she said, you know, we can survive bad policy, we can survive another attack on our democracy. and that's what liz cheney said. she believes her being out there and putting her name, her legacy on the line here by endorsing kamala harris, it says a lot and i do think there are republicans who are not keen to vote for kamala harris, but they know the dangers of donald trump, but they're not happy with how this has gone and how it has caused many losses for the republican party over the years. so this may sway some, i don't think to the extend that maybe as needed, but it could move some people like you me, is this

about making democrats feel good about, about playing nice with some republicans? or are there persuadable republicans? >> it's about wondering election. it's about making sure you're going getting elected here and so the determination is this when you're in states such as the wisconsin where you're essentially talking about one or two points yes, it will matter. it's an and it's not just a random place were talking about where the republican party began. and so when you think about the surrounding areas, even outside of milwaukee, the wow counties of waukesha, zeki, and washington these are the places that will have tremendous impact. it's a reason why this past friday we hosted and always host a nightly prayer call. we have one of the reverence out of this area to demonstrate what's possible. so when you think about the issues where it be the economy, amy, and when you talk about women, i would rather have a liz cheney standing up with us and choosing the country as opposed choosing a call it jeff zeleny was saying to me it's a sort of a play for the nikki haley voters who may not be swayed yet and still could change their minds. i do want to ask about this new book

coming out from melania trump the guardian got some excerpts and the former first lady talks about abortion and has a diametrically different view than her husband in the republican party. she says, a woman is fundamental right of individual liberty. her own life grants or the authority to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes, it is imperative to guarantee that women have autonomy and deciding their preference of having children free from any intervention or pressure from the government okay? >> 12-dimensional chess here, where you think that melania trump is in cahoots with the trump campaign trying to muddy the waters on abortion or just something she doesn't care what her husband thinks about. >> i think melania is making it very clear that she stands on the right side of justice as opposed to her husband and so when we think about whether it be here in new york with prop one or across the country and saying being a post on abortion ban, she is saying a woman should decide what to do her body full-stop a man can be and should be a feminist at the same time. and she is making a very clear that a woman should decide what to do with her

body. it is abundantly clear that this is not just a democratic issue. this is an issue across the country. it is one of the fundamental reasons why republicans have been losing since trump has been on the ballot. it is another reason why vice president will get elected this year, but embarrassing for the trump campaign more or can they pointed this and say big tent i think that you saw jd vance change his tune at the vp debate, trying to talk about abortion because if we have to build back trust, women i don't know that people necessarily believe it given the fact that he has been on record for saying that he would endorse a national ban, but i think what she's saying here to me, and i've long believed is it is a conservative message is to say that you don't want to federal government telling me, telling you what you can do with your own body that goes too a conservative belief of having a smaller, more accountable well government. >> yet the republican party has let it become so much so just a religious issue and feeding into the far-right fringe as opposed to what the, most of the country believes which is the stance that we should have autonomy over our body and medical freedom for half the population. >> i want to play some sound from donald trump overnight

where he is talking about haitian migrants in the country who have legal status, temporary legal status. listen to this you have to remove the people and you have to bring them back to their own country. >> they are in my opinion, it's not legal. >> so you would revoke that temporary protected is absolutely. >> i'd revoke it and i'd bring them back to their country. >> what if they want rosette received them when they're not? >> well, they're going to receive up, they'll receive did they bring them? back? they're going to receive them all right. >> there are several different things at play here. there's the moral issue and there was a political issue. i just want to stay for a second on the purely political issue here in terms of what voters think about about legal versus migrants who are in the country illegally? is there a difference when you talk about deporting legal migrants? does that play differently politically and shared? >> but i'm afraid that on the far fringe of the maga republicans, it doesn't. and he knows that he can speak about even if they are illegal, he can say that early goal is and i want him out of here. that rhetoric and that language he

uses. he does solely to rev up his base. that is, it. i think for the republican party at large and for the country at large, we are a nation of immigrants. but never publicly messaging on this to shouldn't always needs to be, has to be the land of hope, an opportunity. we need to have law and order. so of course, you want to have it done in the right process, but to stop and to say that you're just going to deport people who are here legally and contributing to community as many of the haitians are in springfield, ohio, contributing and adding value to the community as a disservice to them. all. >> we just have to be very clear this is a racist policy being proposed by him this is not just dangerous rhetoric that has impact in ohio where they've clearly communicated to stop this nonsense it's here in new york, whether it be in brooklyn, it'd be in south florida you have a man who is literally saying he would remove american citizens because they come from another country. this is about him trying to win an election to discredit black and brown communities once again. and we cannot tolerate it. and it is

reprehensible that we continue to allow this man to say these things he is doing this to win an election, to appease a base who believed that black and brown people should not be here and when we think about the contrast, go deeper. jd vance is the lead sponsor to eliminate d in federal government. they are saying that a black woman is not black. it is a rhetoric that they believe will be victorious house whoever, let's be very clear whether it be in new york, florida, ohio, et cetera haitians belong here, jamaicans like my family belong here, our communities belong here, and we will not tolerate this nonsense and his racism that's coming. >> there is a distinction though, between citizens and people with temporary legal status. >> he's being very let's be clear. this is about the politics they're not diving into what's one of the other. he is saying you don't belong here. and this is a consistent rhetoric that has come from donald trump. this is the same man who tried to kick out black people when it came to housing, the same one call for the death penalty. this is consistent what he believes he does not think we should be here michael blake, more or less, speak.

thanks so much for being here. both the great to see you in person. there. >> all right. breaking news, new explosions heard by cnn crews in beirut, and we're seeing the result of those explosions as israel strikes at the part of lebanon's capital city, more on that story. plus new revelations from special counsel, jack smith and the january 6 case against donald trump. when told my panel that's what's at risk. trump allegedly said. so what and this morning, president biden tours more of the historic damage left by hurricane hillary those stories and more ahead culture over the edge, people are watching and then our world change he had an explosive reverberation tv on the edge sunday at nine on cnn

you i love you super man, the christopher reeve story ready, pg 13 breaking this morning, several new blasts would just heard by our cnn crews on the ground in lebanon's capital, beirut. they say they are also seeing smoke. we are seeing at ourselves from beirut southern suburbs, and our hearing drones in the skies now overhead, this is coming after huge explosions in central beirut he route overnight at least nine people have been killed, reportedly for the first time we're seeing this. the heart of the city hit the hardest that we've seen since the 2006 war. israel is vowing to punish iran after its largest missile attack ever against israel, which happened on tuesday warning a very strong pain full response is coming soon. president biden saying israel has a right to defend itself, of course. but also is urging restraint. cnn's erin burnett is live for us in northern israel, very

close to the lebanese border. erin, what have you been hearing and seeing today because there has been action there you talk about those explosions in beirut just as you were saying that we had some very loud artillery, outgoing artillery fire from where we are right on the conflict line. sara, right behind me on that hill that is right over that hill is lebanon. so right where we are on the conflict like line there has been a lot of outgoing artillery fire and projection projectiles going into lebanon throughout the day. we've actually one point were counting it, sara 22 outgoing artillery and projectiles in 18 minutes. which would make this the busiest period, the most difficult bombardment in many, many years, certainly back to 2006, if not farther and it does come as hezbollah says that they have repelled israeli forced. it was trying to cross that border today and it is very much an ongoing situation where we are ten rockets actually came into this israeli border town. one interesting thing, sara, as we talk about

the context, the palpable tension as israel is awaiting what could be an imminent massive response to iran is just the the mood on the ground. the town that you see behind me is not in lebonon. that is an israeli town, but it is the hill behind that is where lebanon begins. this is really town as a complete ghost town. you can see places where hezbollah rockets struck. it's a ghost town, except for soldiers and one interesting thing, a couple of them we were speaking to sara. they had been here originally off after october 7. they were deployed in gaza. they are now back here in the north. and we were sort of wondering whether there would be a sense of fatigue and exhaustion it was far from it. it was cheers and chance and we're going to finish this. and they are fired up to go in. they want to go into lebanon. they expect that will be the order. they want that to be the order, and they feel that israel is on the cusp of a major victory. and that is, that is the sense that you get here but on this frontline today, as there is this bigger

weight of what will happen, what israel's strike will be against iran on this northern front a lot of action throughout the day and very steadily and important to note, sara, that that is coming. of course, on what is a jewish holiday? >> that's right. it is the new year. the jewish new year. erin burnett. thank you so much for supporting us for us there from tel aviv and we will see you tonight. >> all right. with us now, joel rubin, former deputy assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs in the obama administration. thanks so much for being with us. you just heard aaron reporting from northern israel that folks they're think they are poised for victory over hezbollah. how weakened do you think hezbollah is right now? >> yeah, john, it's great to be with you and i think aaron is spot on these are heady days in israel and the israelis do feel like what has taken place over the last several weeks were they executed the pager attacks and followed that on with the killing of her hassan nasrallah and now there are reports that at least half of

the arsenal that has well, i ahead of rockets, that they have pointed at, israel has been decimated, excuse me. i think the israelis feel like this is the moment to strike and that's why the real question. now is, are they going to work to finish the job? and hezbollah, how aggressive will they be a versus how much momentum? will they have to then move towards iran? and a response and i do think that for israelis getting the north repopulated is a very high priority to show a terrorist groups cannot shrink israel's borders. israel's territory by these attacks. and i think that's where we're probably going to head in the near days so part of the answer to the question of how weak is hezbollah now is depends on the response to this next question, which how weak do you think iran, how weakened do you think iran is right? >> now well, look, getting to this question of weakness hezbollah is weaker now than it has been in decades. >> that does not mean it's

eliminated. and so the challenge here is that hezbollah has been backed by iran for decades, supported by iran and the iranian response just over the last couple of days, in many ways was trying to show that it still does support hezbollah, while hezbollah gets decimated on the battlefield. so this calibration of an israeli response towards iran also will have an eye on hezbollah, on trying to deter any resupply, any restocking of hezbollah not allowing iran to continue to try to build up hezbollah as it has been built up over the last decades. and so i think i think for israel strategically, they're going to have to really make targeting choices that provide that kind of strong security. that they can get from battlefield activity on the ground, hezbollah to not allow his hezbollah to return to the form that it's been over the last decades look, the calculations, my impression is a calculations have completely changed over the last three

weeks and you always throw around terms like, oh, fears of a wider war. but what is a wider war at this point, if hezbollah, if their power is smashed, if hamas, if they're power is smashed, if iran is somewhat weakened what does israel have to fear from iran strikes more powerful than the ones they attempted the other day join respond on, look, all the taboos have been broken these questions that were sort of lingering for the past years about the danger of a regional war. while we didn't iran strike israel twice, we've seen multiple organizations backed by iran striking israel repetitively since hamas launched and started this war on october 7, has blood joined in the houthis join in. now ron is joined in and israel is still standing. and so from the israeli perspective, they're saying this is the moment to strike. and, you know, these taboos, now they're broken and we see what's happening, and

we can take it and i think that's of course very risky and very dangerous because one always gets concerned about an overreaction that could potentially dc stabilize the region significantly further. but that said, the taboo has been broken. israeli see what the response is like and they see that they can move on. hezbollah and that they should do that to protect their north because they're north has been living under the gun as aaron pointed out, depopulating northern israel in a manner could that israel is just cannot sustain any longer. and they did not want it. and that's why they're very supportive of these attacks on hezbollah. >> a look it might be risky, as you say, but it is important to understand the shift in mentality that has occurred over the last few weeks. joel rubin. thank you so much for being with us. appreciate it. >> thanks, john political was calling it the first october surprise of 2024, never-before-seen evidence against donald trump. >> now exposed and. new, this morning and investigation to the desk of employees allegedly told not to leave work despite

today former first lady in the first second gentleman, kaitlan collins, takes a closer look at the potential for spouses the history, and possible future of this iconic office. >> the whole story with anderson cooper, sunday at 8:00 on cnn this morning, new fallout as donald trump faces a stunning legal filing with just a few weeks left in his presidential run, a judge has unsealed never never-before-see n evidence in special counsel so jack smith's election subversion case. as federal prosecutors now try to prove that trump should be prosecuted under the presidential immunity act. basically, that he was not the president in his capacity when he did some of these things, smith writing at its core, the defendant's scheme was a private one one he

extensively used private actors and his campaign infrastructure to attempt to overturn the election results and operated in a private capacity as a candidate for manhattan prosecutor jeremy saland and cncnn senior legal analyst, eli honig, joining us now. first t you, elie, we are seeing an incredible amount of information that we weren't none of us, the public, the media known was privy to until judge tonton, tanya chutkan unsealed them. why were they unsealed? >> well, sara, this is all about immunity, so we remember a year ago or so jack smith returned the indictment on donald trump relating to january 6. it was a very broad indictment since then, though this past summer, the u.s. supreme court said a lot of the stuff, some of this stuff in this indictment is immune and has to come out some it is in sort of gray area and you on the district court have to figure it out. and some of it can probably stay in. this is jack smith saying, okay, judge

stuff that he's definitely immune for. and here's us defending the rest of it arguing why he's not immune. and the sentence you just showed, sara uses the word private three times. that's the gist jack smith's argument that donald trump's conduct here was not being done as president. it was done in his private capacity. >> he may have been in office as the president, but he was doing this in his campaign or private capacity it's a really good point. elie, jeremy this is a, this is a lot to read through. it's a book, it's 165 some odd pages. what was your takeaway from? what you saw in this in this indictment? >> some of this has sort of jaw on the floor home. my gosh, i can't believe that the former president said these things and not to be too tongue in cheek. but if i'm jd vance i'm looking at mike pence and i'm saying i don't want to be in that same position and be thrown under that proverbial bus or worse, if things go sideways, some of the things are shocking. he let them riot. i don't care. some of the words that this president uttered and said, our really

should shock your conscience was a euro republican or democrat all constructively builds a few critical important elements you see the intent, you see that knowledge, that information that he had, that he knew he lost and while it's not required that sort of premeditation effort to scheme to get back and stay in office. >> they talk about a couple of those things that stood out to me because you're talking about it's like bombs dropping over and particular indictment, the prosecutor said they have evidence that revealed an aide talked to him about vice president pence, that he was in peril, that he was in danger as this was fleeing president trump replied, according to the indictment. so and then the second one was when his lawyers were talking to him on that his false claims that the election had been had been marred by widespread fraud. that those would not hold up in court. and trump responding according to the indictment the details don't matter. elie, i do want to ask you about this. is this

is about intent, is this how do you fight this? when and obviously these are just allegations, right there? he made by the prosecutor. they have to be proven in court beyond a reasonable doubt. but how do you respond to some of the things that are in this indictment if you are his lawyers boy. >> oh, that's a tough spot. well, first of all, i have to say sorry, comment. i don't care is something donald trump said, but i do have to correct something that was just said the let them riot comment was not something allegedly said by donald trump that was said by somebody else, according to jack smith, how do i respond to this upon donald trump's lawyers, look the allegations are very no question about it. i think the response that we're hearing from trump's lawyers is this is not a trial. this is jack smith unilaterally laying out as evidenced. it's not been subject to the rules of evidence. in fact, some of the stuff that jack smith puts in there, he says, i don't even believe this can come into the trial, but i'm telling you, judge but can now that's fine to do. but it means the jury

wouldn't say it, and i would argue this has not been subject to cross-examination. so anytime a prosecutor has the floor to him herself for herself, i've had it you can make a quite compelling case, but i think trump's team for now is going to say he has a right to defend himself and he will when the times right? >> how successful do you think this case will be? because it has changed it had to change because of the supreme court ruling and it has changed quite a bit yeah look my position all along, sara, is that donald trump was deservedly indicted for what he did leading up to january 6. >> i've believed that the case against him, his strong, but they supreme court's immunity decision changed everything. it already removed a large pillar of this case and whatever judge chutkan decides to do here, whatever she leaves in are one of the case that gets appealed back up to the u.s. supreme court. so it's possible the supreme court says more of the case has to be removed. it's possible that they do that to a point where the indictment can't even stand on its own legs and never gets to trial at all. >> we're now learning what

this filing is, sort of in a legal sense to you, jeremy, where does this put us as far as timing because donald trump wants to make sure this does not go forward before the election. and there is no choice chance, i think at this point that it would what the trial itself, the certainly not going forward before the election. and judge chutkan sets some deadlines up in october for responses but this this is really its opening that pandora's box, it's allowing people to go down that rabbit hole because the amount of information here is really allowing within reason jack smith to try his case in public. but i remind people that this isn't jack smith doing i mean, he had to respond to the supreme court saying that there is immunity for his official acts. and then there's those that are within the duty of the president that are proceed and really are are going to be subject to immunity. so we had to do this. he had to put this forth for the court and it the court's decision not jack smith's decision ultimately, to present this to the public and allow the public to see it subject to some redactions. but it doesn't change the timeline in

the sense of having a trial by in november. that's not happening we will see, but there are a lot of details in this case and the prosecutor putting its evidence sort of out there for the public to see jeremy saland. >> thank you so much. elie honig. always a pleasure. thank you, gentlemen. alright, ahead. a week since hurricane helene struck many families still trying to find their loved ones who have been missing since the storm hit. we'll have more for speak to one of those family members ahead. and during this week of celebrating jimmy carter's 100th birthday unlocking the secrets to a long life this is worth sticking around because dr. sanjay gupta has some answers to your questions coming up as questions like, what does a comedy show doing on cnn that's too much but i want donald now, can you slice that i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn?

you can see in a building like this one, it just really destroyed this facade. 70% of this the area's still without power. there is a curfew that goes on from 8:00 p.m. to six a.m. every morning. so you understand the folks here really want that relief then on top of all that, of course, are president can have a very busy schedule today as he's gonna be in florida and it's gonna be in south georgia. but for the residents here, you could understand their frustration and their want and desire for more help. take a listen to a few folks talking about the cleanup efforts so far i would say that i'm actually lost very emotional almost at a point where your hands are tied because he to zero he's been rough. do you just let everyone people just afraid and you know just devastated >> and as i walk over from that building, you can see the line of wind that came through here. part of the roof is all the way down here, more than 200 yards

away from the building. it toss a part of this light just very easily so you can see this still down here. we're still assessing the area and obviously the smaller cities around here are clamoring for more attention. those big trees have really play a role in knocking this power out all across the area but as you can understand, that presidential visit will put eyes on this complete area of the governor was here earlier in the week and so was former president trump so the folks of south i'll georgia really hoping to see some changes. and of course, the georgia national guard through here making way in terms of clearing the roads so people could get left and right. but obviously still a long road so we're 70% of people still without power, so much destruction in the recovery is slow and it is hard. ryan young great to have you there. thank you very much this morning, a new tennessee state investigation into the deaths of factory workers. >> there, flooding from hurricane helene swept away 11 employees at impact plastics in erwin. companies in the state have eight hours to report a

workplace death, but investigators say they still have not received one. workers say the plane only shut down once the power went out and water one of the parking lot, despite morning's of potentially life-threatening floods, several the workers never made it home day why we shouldn't have worked? >> we shouldn't have been there. none of us should have been there that's what i said to them why did you make this work when you knew you didn't statement you are monitoring it why do you make us stay work? so five of the 11 people swept away were rescued to have been confirmed dead. four are still missing. the company says they have not been contacted by the tennessee bureau of investigation, but will fully cooperate and they are preparing an internal review which will be released? they say to the public, sara. all right. this morning, search efforts are ongoing for hundreds of people still unaccounted for after hurricane

helene, one of them is steven khloie, who is missing after trying to escape rising floodwaters in jonesborough, tennessee. one of his sons, matthew, is joining us now. thank you so much for joining us. i know this is a really difficult time as you wait to hear anything from your dad. when was the last time you were able to speak to your dad or one of your family members like your mom, talk to your father? >> last jedi with my dad was actually the day of the storm. i wanted to say, but asked contact. my mom had was right around like cuts, you for years. area last blast cell phone pinging we had was around 311 this, we think of coastal towns being hit really, really hard. >> did you ever think and ended he ever considered that jonesborough, tennessee would be affected like this, nowhere near the beach i know i mean, i

i've stated that in multiple conversations. >> i've had with people. i mean, when you hear hurricane, i think i talked to well, you guys is you guys correspondents earlier for the written article i stressed to him macy's, you know, this isn't something you think when you think of hurricanes, you think beaches, you think palm tree you think coast? >> you don't think mountain side cabins in the middle of the woods in the appalachian region it's not something you think about. >> you don't, your mind doesn't go there. >> so like i said, when i got the phone call from my mind i'm telling me that my dad was in trouble at first. >> i was just confused. >> like, what do you mean what do you mean? >> no i i never knew this was going to be something that was that this hurricane is going to affect this entire region in this way, i wasn't prepared for the phone call we're seeing some pictures of your father

playing with a cute dog in this area. know people tend to be a little rugged. they're used to dealing with the outdoors. they enjoy the outdoors first can you give us some sense of what you know happened up until the time that you lost contact with your father, what he was going through as the storm was coming in? >> so it first, you eat, my mom went to work and it was fine and then i think i wanted to say is right around 11:00. he said he texted my mom and sitting here for years and i mean, over the course of the following three hours, you can stages that. it just gets progressively worse happened yet we're hoping we can start to get some answers really soon once we get some the video surveillance that was around my uncle's house we're hoping we can start to piece

together maybe what exactly happened in the moments leading up. >> i know the main thing that you are stressing inside his his phone conversations was he wanted to make sure that there my uncle and my mom do not come home because he knew that that the water is we're starting to get bad i think throughout the course of it, i think again, just like everybody else, he didn't think it was going to keep going is that is that your background? and it just got yeah. that's my mom. and then the dog. >> all right. and she's actually just jumped out from me. she saw him to fight him calm right now you all met her out of her sights that she's let because she's scared and she knows something is off what can you tell me about the search and rescue process and what if anything, are hearing from folks that are looking for him and what challenges that are still being faced in that area?

rescue efforts if you want me to be honest, i think in terms for everybody, i think it started off really slow and at the same time, i know that state and local agencies can only use, you know, what they're equipped to use i mean, i keep holding earn he telling people that needed this declaration faster. we needed these resources on the ground a lot quicker they can local, local authorities only have so much capacity to an access to equipment to get he hit birds up into the air to get drones out there to get side-by-sides out there, to go out there and search. i mean, so far, i honestly from day one everything has just been the people up. here. it's it's been volunteers. it's been it's been people going out and trying to do what they can and even now, we're limited, i mean, for an entire day, we

were essentially cut off from the other side. i mean, it took i want to say it was saturday. they finally opened a bridge and were able to get people in and out of the area because there's only one access point. >> they lost so many ways in so many people just got stuck and while you're starting authorities have a hard time getting there because we're looking at some of the roads where there's just there's no no way in and no way out and that's they're trying to change that, but it takes time what can you tell us about your dad? what do you want us to know about him? what should people be looking out for as well, but personality-wise, what's he like? >> i mean, i think the pictures show it. i mean, you as a goofball, he was peri he was a jokester. he was praying i think i was talking to one of your guys correspondence i talked to a couple of nice agents and i told them i the thing with my dad was what is that if my dad didn't ran as

you can, and that's what it means. they i idea, like you so it was always, it was always good when when dad gave you gave you a little bit of crap he liked to you like to make people saw oh, it's that's really what it comes down to get the he's got one of the biggest hearts imaginable. he gives you the last $5 is pocket the shirt off of his back. >> and i mean, he put that into all of us i carry that with me today. i know my brother does to you i know it's one attracted most what made my mom attacks and gag to celebrate the 36 years on the 20th so he's just he's just one of those people that you don't forget them when she made it sounds like a great guy and they just celebrated 36 years of marriage matthew coy. >> thank you so much. and here's hoping that authorities finally find your father after five days, that he's been missing. really appreciate you

>> this cnn what do you talk about the news sports a little family gaza, maybe. >> now, you don't do that, right? >> here's another topic for you. >> as they get older, their risk of getting really sick from a respiratory virus like flu, covid-19 or rsv goes up a lot so talk to them about getting the season's vaccines because you've still gets so much to talk about brought to you by the u.s. department of health and human services risk lists do more campaign remarks finding you to get this season's flu and covid-19 vaccines carter turned 100-years-old this week it kicked off a conversation on the show about why americans are living longer. >> we asked you yesterday, so you submit your questions about aging and cnn chief medical

corps, dr. sanjay gupta answer the call as usual, he's always on call. we call them all the time, just the timing you've got some questions to answer. for this segment. the first one comes from north carolina asking this are there some findings or revelations or relationships between certain vitamin levels and longevity and a healthier lifestyle. i like that they're asking about health span, not just lifespan yes yeah. it's an important distinction for sure. >> you know, it's interesting when it comes to these supplements and vitamins for a long time, i think that headline was insufficient evidence to make recommendations, but i think that's starting to change carl sagan used to say absence of evidence is not evidence of absence and i think that applies here to some extent, if you take the top of the list there, daily multivitamin, there was a study that came out a couple of years ago now the people who took, took the

people who took the daily multivitamin actually had an improvement in cognition over a three-year period, about a 60% reduction in cognitive decline the rest of the supplements and vitamins on that list, the omega omega-3s, the koch, uten, vitamin c, b12 magnesium lion's mane, and probiotics. >> these are things that i take now after looking at a lot of the evidence this has been something that i sort of established over a years. in part also because of the work that we did on the last alzheimer's documentary, you may remember that sara, they did these large trials where they actually included those supplements along with a healthy diet and exercise and they found a significant reduction in how quickly or cognition might decline. and in some cases, even a reversal of cognitive decline, so it was really quite impressive. one more thing, i'll throw into the mix and there's emerging evidence on this. this is a prescription medication called metformin. but sara, you remember we talked about the hallmarks of aging yesterday.

aging is not just the number of years, it's how much inflammation you have, your immunity, your metabolism, things like that metformin is one of these medications that seems to target many of these hallmarks of aging according to longevity researchers decreases your chance of diabetes decreases your chance of cardiovascular disease, and slows down your cognitive decline that's how i put it together. >> it is pretty incredible and i love that you've sort of looked into this vitamin thing because everyone would say take your vitamins and is a guy that doesn't matter, it's not a big deal, but now the evidence this is starting to show that actually it might have a serious impact so write all these down. we're taking pictures of it just so that i could remember myself. we've got another one. this is from terry and ohio she asks how much does genetics versus environmental factors play in reaching 100 years of age or older on it, so nature versus nurture genetics versus
