you so much for being with us. the new book, how to be a young anti-racist. again, doctor kendi, thank you. that is all the time i have for today. i am at least yemen index. i will see you back here tomorrow, 6 pm eastern, four more american voices. but for now, i handed over to my colleague, ayman mohyeldin. hello, amen. >> hey, alicia, what a busy couple of hours it's been with all these developments. i thought your point about whether or not the frequency of these aircrafts or these objects that are being shot down are increasing or is it just that we are learning more about them and given the politics in this country, taking more aggressive actions against them? >> as you may have noticed, no one was quite able to answer that question so i hope you will continue to bring that question to our experts. >> we definitely will be asking that question to a lot of people. alicia, thank you so much, enjoy your evening off. good evening to you, welcome to ayman tonight. a development on two fronts,

new materials have been found at both mike pence's home and donald trump's florida resort. also on the other front, new details about the high altitude object shot down over alaskan airspace, plus, canada just shot down a similar objects flying in their airspace. we have new details from a news conference that just wrapped up. and a once in a century disaster, incredible stories of survival, devastating tales of lost in the earthquake that hit turkey and syria. i will speak with chef josé andrés, who is on the ground, giving survivors some hope and warm meals. i am ayman mohyeldin, let's get started. ♪ ♪ ♪ tonight, we begin with breaking news. canadian prime minister justin trudeau announcing hours ago that an unidentified objects being tracked over canadian airspace was shut down by the united states. canadian officials just got a

press conference moments ago confirming that, at the u.s. canadian of craft that were scrambled a u.s. f 22 fighter jet successfully shot down the object over the yukon. during that press conference, canada's defense minister sir says that it appears to be small and cylindrical, smaller than the surrounds bloom shot off the south carolina post last week, and the origin of the object shutdown is still unknown. the white house and pentagon officials confirmed that the decision was made in consultation with president biden, who was informed on friday of the objects presence. canadian authorities are picking up recovery efforts as of this evening. the fbi is working with their counterparts, the royal canadian mounted police to probe the source of the object. today shootdown of an object in the skies over north america is the third and less than two weeks. on friday, here in the u.s., a

fighter jet shutdown what national security adviser john kirby described as a high altitude objects, flying over alaskan airspace in arctic waters. they say it was roughly the size of a small car without elaborating. but it is unclear, who owns this object and even the kind of unidentified object is, aside from the fact that it cannot be described as a balloon, like the suspected chinese surveillance balloons that was shot down a week ago. lots of unanswered questions as of at this hour. joining me now, nbc news national security reporter dan de luce. then, i tried to give out as much of an outline of the details as we know, so that will make it a little harder for you because if you do have some of these answers for us, we certainly want to hear them. what more can you tell us? what more can we flush out about the developments of the past 24 hours, both in canada and here? >> ayman, it really is about more question. the more these incidents have

been, with so the information provided, it just races a whole host of questions and invites, frankly, this information as well or paranoia to a certain degree and politicization. we did hear, i think that was interesting from ottawa tonight, the defense ministry, the canadian set the object they shut down today over canada was cylindrical and shape. no more details on that but it does beg the question, what about the object is today that's also, really, we had no description of dems whatsoever publicly? was that similar in any way to this one? we know that the canadian surveillance balloon was much, much larger, was not resembling this object or the one in alaska, so is there a connection? we don't know, and then you earlier, you are raising the key overall question, which is,

is there more sensitivity to this? is there more vigilance towards this because of the chinese balloon, are we biting things and are more concerned about certain objects in the sky than the past, overlooked aesthetic in or some sort of clutter in the sky. now are we just shooting these things down? three in a week is pretty amazing. >> dan, you've given us a lot to digest, so we'll leave it at that. hopefully we can get some answers. nbc's dan de luce, appreciate it. let's bring the composition to neil jaffer, founder of the national security institute and former senior counsel to the house and intelligence committee. jamil, it's great to have you with us. there are a lot of questions that i heard from my colleague. i want to post some of the questions to you. based on what we have heard now, what immediately jumped out to you about the developments over the past 24, 48 hours, regarding the frequency in which these objects are

appearing and being shut down aggressively by the u.s. and canada, obviously, by national command, but also whether or not who is responsible and who might be responsible behind this? >> ayman, that's a great question. then raised the point and the late this press conference that we heard that this was illogical. it's just because john kirby yesterday described the objects struck down over alaska as a silver, gray and cylindrical. both were described as smaller than the chinese spy balloon shut down last week. it appears that there may be surface similarities between the object shut down friday and the object shut down saturday. both, as it turns out, transmit some point over alaska. we know the latest one that went over canada was briefly over alaska but towards the north pole and came down through the yukon, where it was shot down by a u.s. at 22 operating in consultation with the canadian authorities. there may be some relationship between these two objects. the question though, as you point out right, what is the

relationship to any chinese by a balloon, and if these are in fact chinese surveillance devices, which there is no evidence to suggest that, those that make it closer to a conflict which i know than we ever thought? >> this may be a technical question, but what qualifies as high altitude compared to the spy balloon? the spy balloon was at some point indeed 35,000 range. i would suspect by definition, that would be high altitude, but it's much higher than the. i guess officials did not feel that the falling debris, both the one shot over alaska and canada today are posing a risk to people or inhabitants below? >> right, so my record question at the chinese spy balloon was that at one point, it was at almost 60,000 feet. these balloons appear to be lower at about -- these vehicles, we don't know what they are. at least the one shut down yesterday was described at being around 40,000 feet, which the biden administration set made a potential threat to the

u.s. and international commercial airliners, which is one of the reasons they gave the u.s. to taking it down. in the case of the canadian object, we don't know what altitude it was a, prime minister trudeau made the decision to take it down in consultation with the united states. not clear the reasons why they made that choice though, so there is still a lot more to learn about both of these incidents. what's really interesting, ayman, and to the point then made, we have not heard any description about what these objects were there to do, why they were there, who owns them? both these objects, friday and saturday, no real information, that itself is troubling? >> should we be concerned, i think a lot of people watch this, and as we mentioned, this is the third of the shutdown over american skies the last two weeks, give me your analysis here, what is going on? should we be concerned? >> not just the last two weeks, it's probably been, i don't recall in the last decades that i've been alive to any objects being shot over american

airspace, potential foreign adversary objects. that in itself is very troubling. i think we should be concerned because somebody is clearly sending something over our airspace to collect intelligence. there is a possibility, a small one, that the two most recent objects, the cylindrical objects, are just other types of weather balloons or devices that are not from an adversary, but we have no reason to believe that, and the u.s. and canadian governments were at least concerned enough to take action swiftly to take both these done within 24 hours of detecting them. that alone should be concerning the american people. the american people in congress should demand answers, what is it that is going on here? why are we only learning about these things, and why don't we know what they're doing over our airspace? >> that may be a little skeptical here and given the political nature in our country right now, the over politicization of everything, do you believe that the u.s. and canada might be over reacting after public outrage,

certainly the republicans, over the chinese surveillance balloon? or do you think based on the limited information we have, they're acting appropriately? as you mentioned, you certainly have more experience than i do. i don't recall the u.s. ever, and we heard this today from the canadian defense minister, that this is the first time that we've ever taken down an object over north america. if you look at the height of some of the tensions of the u.s. and canada have experience, nothing like this as ever happened before, and now we have three instances in the span of a week. >> you know, it's hard to imagine that it's just political pressure that is causing the u.s. and canadian governments to act this way over the last few days. even if you say the white house is under significant pressure, it felt like it had to act, what the same does not apply to justin sciutto. he made the independent decision to ask canadian and american fighter just to be scrambled and take action, book, by the way, the white house and canadian prime minister did spent about 24 hours examining the objects and what to do. before they took action, we

learned is today that the object was first detected in the evening on thursday and saturday, it was the ticket on friday. both of their time to make a decision. they did ultimately make the decision to take the optics down without knowing exactly what they are or who sent them, but it looks like they make the decisions based on national security and not politics in both cases. >> all right, jamil jaffer, thank you so much. you have to speak into an analyze this and make sense of it, certainly a lot more questions remain unanswered. always a pleasure, thank you, my friend. ahead, breaking news on the classified documents. i'll tell you about that next. u about that next. ♪♪ with skyrizi, most people who achieved 90% clearer skin at 4 months... had lasting clearance through 1 year. serious allergic reactions and an increased risk of infections, or a lower ability to fight them, may occur. tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms, had a vaccine or plan to. ♪nothing is everything♪ talk to your dermatologist about skyrizi. learn how abbvie could help you save.

a senior msnbc official has confirmed that donald trump has turned over another folder with classified markings to federal agents. before there was a treat last month from his mar-a-lago resort. in addition, sources tell me that a laptop belonging to a current trump aide was provided to federal agents and this comes hours after the fbi discovered an additional classified document as mike pence indian home. it was found during a consensual search the fbi conducted on friday afternoon. and adviser to mike pence confirmed the news in a statement saying, quote, the vice president as directed a legal team to continue its cooperation with the appropriate already seem to be fully transparent you decompression of this matter. that, of course, stands in stark contrast on how donald trump has handled the classified documents saga.

this is all happening against the backdrop of what might be the biggest development this week. mike pence has been subpoenaed by special counsel jack smith in his probe investigating both trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and his handling, or mishandling of classified documents. nbc news is now reporting that trump's attorneys are expected to fight that pence subpoena on executive privilege grounds. joining us now are molly jiang fast, host of the fast baltics bacchus and charles coleman, msnbc analysts. charles, i'll start with you. this trump team, still finding more classified materials, now a trump aides laptop has been handed over to federal agents. your reaction given the fact that the fbi has already searched mar-a-lago yet things are still popping up? >> ayman, this does not come as much of a surprise to me, given everything we know about the length of time, the national archives began to request documents and they had trouble

accessing those documents, so in that timeframe, we already know that donald trump instructed people to move various documents to places along a massive estate in mar-a-lago and is not complete surprise to me that things are still turning up. it is a disgrace, and i do think that jack smith is taking note of the fact that these things continue to pop up, and the fact that there is now a locked up in the mix, even further exacerbates the severity of the situation, but ultimately, this is not changed jacks myths course what or the other, because everything else, the volume of documents that we already know trump was withholding for months have been requested, both the national archives and -- >> molly, the big news today is that, perhaps, i would not be surprised if mike pence wanted to fight the special counsel, jack smith's subpoena, but, what we're learning is that it's trump, and obviously trump's attorneys who will be making this fight on behalf of mike pence trying to argue

executive privilege. were you surprised by that? >> i mean, i think trump is worried about people talking, and well, he should be. this is not an evidence problem, this is a merrick garland, when are you going to make your move, jack smith, when are you going to make a move kind of problem? there is a ton of evidence. we've seen video. there are documents and documents. it's a question of when is there going to be action i think more than anything, but yeah, trump is going to try to run out the clock. this is the strategy, always been the single shot edgy, and that is what he will keep doing. by the way, it's work up until now. >> charles, what do you think is the difference here because mike pence had been subpoenaed by the january six committee, refused to comply, now he's being subpoenaed by the special counsel, not yet sure if he will comply, but what is your assessment of the difference

between the congressional subpoena special counsel and whether the argument he used for refusing to appear in front of the congressional committee that was subpoenaing him can be applied to the special counsel? >> i don't even think it matters at this point, ayman. i think that was an argument about whether it's tax or not was based on the idea that, look, i will be out of the situation, if only for the fact that the congressional committee, that subpoenaed me will no longer exist if i run out the clock, as molly already talked about, being a trump strategy. with what we're talking about now in front of a clerical judge, it's a very different conversation, and i don't expect that even if he is able to delay being able to testify in front of doj, that he will be able to evade it entirely. i think ultimately, he will find himself in front of doj and jack smith, having to answer these questions, so this is a delay tactic that will not have the same time clock he was up against before january six.

>> molly, what does it say to you that mike pence agreed to a fbi search of his home while trump, of course, had to be rated? we can't make the distinction enough that donald trump is still the outlier among the documents cases that have been revealed. biden, yes, mike pence also, who else will have them? but with the way that donald trump handled the unofficial request, he is still the outlier by rejecting these demands from the department of justice and the fbi. >> yeah, trump was really -- you saw that pence and also joe biden negotiated, they got the documents, they give them in, and it was, look, clearly a problem with people having documents that are not supposed to have, but there was a real intent to return them and sort of be within the letter of the law. that was not what happened with trump at all. in fact, there were questions about whether they had to

return to stuff, and it turned out they had not. there were lawyers, forms that were signed, that were labored proven to be untrue. i think that obviously, trump does not really carry about the law, and that's something we have seen again and again and again. the question, again is will he be held accountable, right? we know what he's done. we keep seeing this again and again, but are we going to see these people really press charges or not? >> all eyes remain on jack smith on these two probes. molly jiang fast, charles coleman, thanks to both of you, greatly appreciate your time to see things. up next, democratic congresswoman summer lee joins me to discuss republican misguided efforts. what we are hearing about nothing but conspiracy theories. stay with us. stay with us we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why? why are 93% of sleep number sleepers very satisfied with their bed? maybe it's because you can adjust your comfort and firmness on either side... so let us focus on the how.

here. this week, republicans ignored advice tenderness beaker to keep things civil and the state of the union. it's polite president biden with boost, hackles and tears. it continued at a house oversight committee which is meant to examine twitter's handling of the hunter biden is back in 2020, and that is where some republicans chose to treat the hearing as a proxy customer service line, chastising ex twitter employees for censoring their accounts, watch -- >> you can consider your speech canceled during my time because you canceled mine. you permanently banned my personal twitter account. >> you silenced me from communicating with the american people over a joke. now who the hell do you think that you are? >> all right, so, remember, this hearing which is more than two years in the making was supposed to center around accusations that democrats somehow pressured twitter to suppress content from

conservatives, that's what that whining was all about. instead, we learned that back in 2019, the trump white house contacted twitter to demand a tweet by supermodel chrissy teigen mocking trump to be removed. as congressman gerry connolly pointed, watch -- >> my, my, my, what happens when you heard a hearing -- >> republican dysfunction took center stage again at the inaugural hearing of the house so-called weaponization subcommittee. in a hearing, the white house described as a fox news reboot of mccarthy-ism, republicans called on the expertise of friendly star witnesses like ex democrat turned tucker carlson see warmer, tulsi gabbard and two current gop senators, chuck pressley and conspiracy theorists, ron johnson. it played less like an investigative hearing and more like an indulgent for our live stream from a deep-based

conspiracy theorists. as the washington post put it, the weaponization subcommittee will just be one thing to complete its work, quote, a scintilla of evidence. that did not emerge this week. let's discuss with someone inside one of those hearing rooms, democratic commercial women summer lee of pennsylvania. she's a member of the house oversight and accountability committee. congresswoman, thank you so much, it's good to see you, greatly appreciate your time this evening. let me ask, you when you are named to the oversight committee, is this the kind of work you imagine yourself to be doing? talk to us about what was going through your mind during wednesday's hearing? >> i hate to say it but, i think we all knew what we signed up for when we got assigned to the committee. i think that this week's hearing, they were every bit as absurd as they play on tv. we watched republican members of the committee, who mind you, had more advanced notice, we're

able to prepare better, they came with the folks who they wanted here and that was a show that they put on. frankly, it was embarrassing but also disrespectful. we watched some of the witnesses be antagonized and disrespected and disparage, so it was really overwhelming a bit. >> i was going to say, in between marjorie taylor greene's whining and lauren boebert, republicans spent their time airing their personal grievances. there were some democrats who actually tried to conduct actual oversight, your colleague, congresswoman, alexandria ocasio-cortez was able to show that twitter literally changed its terms of service in order to avoid the leading a racist tweet by ex president donald trump. wasn't this hearing supposed to be about a so-called bias against conservatives, because i saw the opposite, how badly did the gop effort backfire here as gerry connolly, congressman gerry connolly was suggesting? >> i think completely. i think one day went into this, the focus was supposed to be

under a two year campaign to convince the american people that something about the hunter biden investigation was hidden from them, and that democrats colluded with them, and what we actually ended up getting was evidence on the record that the kind of conservative bias that they have been trying to perpetuate in the media is actually contrived, and that it works. we found out from twitter and folks on the panel who have worked with twitter and other social media sites that because they continue to talk about conservative bias, they continue to create. now we get the opposite effect, where we made social media more unsafe, we've created not on their behalf on our behalf as they tried to prove being biased against conservatives. with donald trump, we see the. we see where they go out of their way to give him more leeway, but really, we've heard how this is unsafe, how we don't stop and investigate twitter for hate speech, for speech that came before january

six. we don't takes sorts of actions, we'll continue to see blood. we'll continue to incite violence, and that is what it's been used for. >> there's a bitter irony here that this week, congressman james comer, the republican chairman of the oversight committee, requested documents from president biden son hunter biden over their foreign business dealings. hunter biden's lawyers have since rejected that request, and since the committee wants to go down this rabbit hole of business dealings, one should we expect commerce requests for records related to jared kushner's business dealings with saudi arabia? >> i am sure very soon. certainly, it's on the way. look, we know what they're trying to -- the only think they're trying to uncover what the hearings are fundraising opportunities. >> do you think that they are weaponizing the same tactic of their playbook that we saw against hillary clinton, weaponizing congressional oversight responsibilities and committees to try to tarnish

politicians of the opposition party? >> absolutely, i think we see it, and we will continue to see it with oversight. we see it with the weaponization of governments select committee. these are all opportunities for them to kind of use government, to use taxpayer dollars, to actually weaponize government against political enemies against people who are standing in their way. they're using these committees, which are part of our legislative process, part of our government. they're using them as campaigns and really to kind of go about their campaigning. all of what i am hearing, mind you, they cost money. we're doing these at the expense of actual hearings that we could do to investigate civil rights abuses, like we've done in the past. we can do those to investigate corporate waste and corporate greed, so many things that are actually yelling american people. instead, we're using these to continue on with republicans kind of shadow boxing with the biden administration. >> it is a real travesty. i had to ask you, congresswoman,

before we go, about some news from your home state. you previously served in the pennsylvania state house. on tuesday, democrats, they took the majority of that chamber for the first time in eight dozen years after a lot of -- several weeks, i should say, people waiting to see that happen. talk to us about what this means for pennsylvania's and what we can expect from a democratic-controlled chamber? >> yeah, this is so exciting. obviously, there was a lot of anticipation about this, particularly as we came out of november races where we did not expect to have success, right? success at the state level. this is the first time in a decade that we will have a majority in the house, that means that we were able to block so many armful things that the republicans wanted to run, abortion bans in the commonwealth, more democracy disenfranchisement, rather than democracy reform that they wanted to run through. so many harmful things. in addition to blocking those, we get a majority where we're able to run on things that really matter to american

people, able to protect liberates and worker right. we're able to talk about a living wage, talk about environmental justice and other issues that we've not been able to and a legislature that we know has been one of their least productive in the country in terms of legislation passed, out of committee or the house. >> democratic congresswoman, summer lee of pennsylvania, always a pleasure, greatly appreciate your time, thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. >> take care. up next, fighting to protect the internal about the black women, stay with us. women, stay with us. so, you can both stay comfortable all night. and now, save 50% on the sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. ends monday. three nights. esg... -diversification, futures, options... leverage. -excess cash flow. gold. the world is full of financial noise. you are right on track to hit your goals. our easy to use investing app and local advisors can help you stay on track. j.p. morgan wealth management. so, you're 45.

could soon block access to abortion pills nationwide. abortion proponents filed a lawsuit last november that the fda approved a abortion pill comes with potentially arm full side effects. the fda first approved use of that bill for abortions back in 2000, and it has been deemed safe and effective by the department of health and other medical associations. the decision by the judge is expected later this month, and these attacks on abortion access continue against the backdrop of a failed health care system for black women and women of color, who have historically experienced unreliable maternal care. black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy related causes than white women, according to the cdc. so some folks are taking measures into their own hands. parents as teachers, which is a

nonprofit organization based in st. louis, they are making strides and reproductive care for black women by offering doula support. joining me to discuss, the president and ceo of that non profit, -- certified ob/gyn dr. wendy goodall mcdonald. it's good to have both of you with us. dr. mcdonald, i'd like to start with you. what consequences could this ruling on abortion pills in texas had four women across the entire country? >> unfortunately, it is going to leave more people susceptible to the harms that can come about with pregnancy and with pregnancy related complications. we know that people who are underserved, especially rural populations, already have less access to maternal health, care, labor delivery services, a significant proportion of liberty lovers are closed during the pandemic because of cost and issues related to supporting those boards. now with more people who will have less access to controlling

their -- we will see worsening statistics in that space. >> confidence, i want to turn to you and your work at parents as teachers. you've called abdullah support aid for black mothers. talk to us about how the program began and the work that you all have accomplished it? >> parents as teachers has been partnering with families for the past 40 years, working with parents from pregnancy through kindergarten so we do this by matching parents and caregivers with trained professionals, who will basically visit them in their homes during their child's earliest, most critically developmental years and life, and our local affiliate in st. louis, that we run through the national center was engaging with families in some of the most under-resourced communities in the st. louis region and had

their own challenging birthing experiences, and we're hearing similar experiences from their moms, so we, above and beyond the services that we already enter with families on with the evidence based home visiting added a layer of services where we had five certified dulles, that partnered with families and our communities. these are non medical professionals that support mothers before, during and after delivery and they extend the benefit largely associated with white, affluent women to predominantly black, low income others, who would not otherwise have access or be able to afford a doula. a doula is basically a rarity, and i say that they have capes but they help pregnant women

access their own capes and advocate for themselves in the medical community. basically, navigate the health care systems that have not necessarily seen them. >> speaking of the health care system, dr. mcdonald, when we talk about black women and women of color, there are clear inequities in our health care system, the american college of opticians and gynecologist released a statement last year that these inequities can be reversed without addressing all aspects of racism and racial bias in the system. how do you as a physician push back against these systemic issues that black women and women of color face in our health care system? >> i think it's important for us to know that over 80% of the deaths related to pregnancy and delivery are preventable, and they come from things like mental health challenges, they come from the the deaths as a

result of heart disease, high blood pressure, hemorrhage. often, the stories we hear from people who either passed away or have experienced near death experiences, that they were ignored. they complained of a symptom, they notice a symptom and we're told, oh, it's nothing, don't worry about. my approach, and what i try to encourage my patients to do is to be very active in their care and understand what is normal and what is not. as a provider, i actually treat my patients of color like some from chicago, right? it's like you're walking on ice, okay? because you go outside, and the ground might look fine, but there is a thing called black ice. you know it is icy outside, you'll walk carefully. my patients of color, if they have shortness of breath, that's common in pregnancy, but let's make sure your heart is okay. your legs are swelling, that's common in pregnancy, but let's take sure you don't have a political. those are the types of things that could kill a person. it's about being more careful and also our patience of being

aware of signs and symptoms that could be detrimental to their health. >> confidence, let me ask you about the point that the doctor brought up about the awareness and education because there was this recent piece about your organization, and a specific story tested about a mother in the early stages of labor. she was frustrated that the nurses were not taking her needs into account. they asked her to sign paperwork, which she did not understand. they ignored her birth plan, and then when her doula arrived, the care from the nurses completely changed. talk to us about the importance of having that kind of support in these moments of awareness, especially for black women. >> i think it's an imperative. i think you shared the data from the cdc about black women being three times as likely to die from maternal causes, and dr. goodall mentioned that many of the causes of preventable. black women are also more

likely to be recommended to have c-sections, have their pain minimized or ignored, report mistreatment and have snow births than white women. and like certified midwives to deliver babies, doulas help imams develop birth plans and offer guidance on their pain and complications ahead of delivery, and they help clients navigate those complicated systems, so before they get to the hospital, they already have a plan, an expectation that their plan will be followed, so for a mom that may be experiencing multiple stressors, having a doula and having those kind of pulmonary preparations and understand even their postpartum planning ahead of time is helpful and reduces some of the stressors that many moms are already experiencing. >> a right constants gully and dr. wendy goodall mcdonald, thank you, i am glad we had

syria, every moment counts. it has been six days since the 7.8 magnitude earthquake and a devastating aftershock hit the region.

the combined that poll had not topped 25, 000, with more than 22,000 -- and over 80,000 injured in turkey alone, according to the turkish health minister. rescue workers have been working tirelessly sly around the clock to find any remaining survivors amongst the rubble. overnight in adiyaman, there was a miraculous rescue of a 33 old mother and her sexual daughter. the mother and daughter were pulled out from the rubble alive by turkish miners and a american rescue team at the bench up more than 100 hours. it is a true bright spot in a very dark moment for the region, which has suffered with the united nations aide chief calls the region's worst event in 100 years. earlier today, i spoke with the founder of world central kitchen, chef josé andrés, who is on the ground with his team delivering thousands of hot meals to survivors. >> chef jose andrés, thank you

for joining us. you and world central kitchen, you are on the ground in turkey into cities near the epicenter of the earthquake. can you tell us what you are seeing at this moment? >> well, i am talking to you from -- which is terribly remote. it's one city that has been really devastated. you mentioned we are already feeling around 16, 17 different towns and villages. so i am talking from this kitchen, in a factory where they used to feed employees, but something amazing happened. these groups of chefs from istanbul came with the help of friends and started cooking meals. they're doing if you doesn't meals a day, and they are

issuing their meals to different bodies around this town, very much, this is what is happening right now all across turkey, where, obviously, the government is doing the best they can to be feeding people in the camps feeding the people that lost their homes or won't be in their homes because they feel the building may crash. the amazing thing is that all across the area, many, many individuals cooking up at their homes, go in the street and anywhere, they start feeding. this is very much the entire feeding operation in istanbul. all hands on, everybody that can cook, can produce something, is doing it. more or less, the situation is under control, but india next week or two or three weeks, everything is going to be changing because people are going to start moving, they will be going to other cities.

some cities will have refugees. we are here to adapt, make sure the world central kitchen can help those efforts by covering the hospitals, covering the food shelters or serving food industry where people are living literally in their cars. >> can you tell us about what you need? how can we help you help them, for those that are watching this around the world? >> well, we are right here, the first day, right after the earthquake. obviously, people from the world central kitchen, know what we do. obviously, i will say to people, always look for the very good organizations that you feel they are organizations that will deliver the goods, if you support them, but the entire world as to help turkey and a

turkish people, why? i remember in 2010 when i arrived in haiti, there was one -- yes, many people died, but everything was confined and that one city. what you see here, it is ten haiti's, probably more, many villages that were flat out. obviously, what we will see here is a long construction. right now, the temperatures in many parts of turkey in the area of the earthquake are under five, sometimes ten minus sauciest agrees, it's super cold, and that makes everything even more complicated. >> you and world central kitchen, you have been on the ground, as you mentioned. you've been around the world helping victims of so many disasters and or zones, what would you like the viewers, the people who are so far away from this disaster, to know about the people of turkey and how they are doing in this moment?

>> well, what i want the people of the world to know and about the people of turkey, that in the worst moments of humanity, the best of humanity shows up. i would love for you to me every one of these amazing turkish that came to the most difficult area probably, coming together as one. this is happening everywhere, so this is the good thing that people want to help, people want to prosper. people want to live in communities that do well. in emergencies, after earthquakes, hurricanes, et cetera, we always need to be next to those people in any way we can. governments, ngos, individuals, we have many people that has come here from america to join our response here in turkey. everybody can find a way to be helping, but what is helping is what is happening to them can happen to us, and therefore, we

always need to be there next to the people and their darkest hour because then in the future, maybe one day, they are the ones that can come to help us. >> chef jose andrés from rod central kitchen, thank you for your time tonight, thank you to you and everyone that is working with you to try to help the people of turkey and syria, thank you, sir stay safe. next, a big way for democrats in pennsylvania. we'll tell you about that. you about that. for people living with h-i-v, keep being you.

that was the narrowest margin of victory for three pennsylvania democratic state legislatures, who won their special elections this week. the other two won the races by 50 and 75 points. for months on this show, we have been covering the chaos that ensued when due to a series of unexpected issues, three seats won by democrats in the november elections were left vacant. pennsylvania republicans took that opportunity to in effect, steal their way to a majority in the state house. clearly ignoring the will of the people by pretending that they had a majority while those seats remained unfilled. but now that those special elections have been held and the winner settled, it seems like eight more drama free environment will be coming into effect because democrats will now control the commonwealth's legislature for the first time in a dozen years as we mentioned earlier. and it
