issue, ernie. let me try one more time. ernie, how is your audio? yeah, i hear you. fine. let's start that story. okay. yes. go ahead. >> sorry about that. yeah. so i grew up in brooklyn, new york. my mother voted for jimmy carter in 1976. as a child of the 70s. i guess i knew about watergate. i knew about nixon, i knew about ford. but i never really understood what a president's role was until my mother introduced me to jimmy carter. so when i moved to atlanta to start covering jimmy carter, it was a pleasure, obviously, to cover former president. and i got a chance to obviously interview him and talk to him and be with him and spend time with him. dozens upon dozens of times. and i always tell him the story about how my mother was the one who introduced me to him, and he listened and he always laughed and, you know, said it was a great story and asked who my mother was and how she was. but the last time that i physically saw president carter, um, we were having a conversation. i'm not sure about what or the length of it, and i didn't mention my mother. and as we were dep

. >> joining me now is ernie suggs. he's a reporter with the atlanta journal constitution, and suggs covered carter for the ajc. and he developed a close personal friendship with him. ernie, thank you so much for coming in. thank you for having me this morning. before we get to your relationship and how you're remembering him, i want to talk a little bit about this tiny town you visited many times. you've been to the peanut farm. you've been to carter's boyhood home, and you just heard there from some of the people that eva mckend spoke with. i mean, there's so much love and reverence for the former president. it's a tiny town, right? and, and and the fact that just a year ago, it lost rosalynn carter. and now you have former president carter, who is now gone. can you talk about just this profound sense of loss that this tiny community is feeling today? >> well, when you think about plains, georgia, and we think about the carters, you think about love. and president carter has lived there for president carter was 100 ye

as far as cnn and media propping him up ernie's routine, they need to call it the way it is.nflation has absolutely crippled the american people and tens of millions have come across a border increasing sex trafficking of children, angel families. we had the botched withdrawal from afghanistan with 13 heroes and no accountability. that is the real biden administration. >> laura: he made a passing reference to afghanistan why we needed to get out, but no reference to that horrific loss of life that still rests on their shoulders. by the way, when he talked about the green threat, the climate change, existential threat, at the same time, the fbi director is sounding the alarm about the real threat. check this out, congressman. >> there is another part of chinese cyber threat that has not gotten the attention publicly that i think desperately deserves. that is chinese government's prepositioning on american civilian critical infrastructure to lie in wait on those networks to be in the position to wreak havoc and inflict real-world harm at a time and place of their choosing. >> l

my photographer here ernie fuentes i want to see if you can take us over to where we were showing earlieryou can't see the building anymore but you can see the glow. so we were talking about this other condo complex here on other side of this street. again, this is looking inland. this collapsed this morning as we watched the building continue to burn for hours. and it's a three story building and there are a lot of units in that one. and we just saw it come down and i mean it was -- devastating to watch. the good news out of that is we have not seen much expansion in that complex. just that one building, which looks fairly large there. there are a number of units in there. so certainly people lost their homes which is just -- tragic to see and report on. the other thing i want to point out is just down the street from there, so on sunset, we wanted to show you but we are not getting signal up there but i was up there. there's also a school westside waldorf school which is a preschool and elementary -- middle school. that is on fire right now as well. next to it, there is a shopping cente

. >> yeah, manu, we are here in the ernie villa canyon area of los angeles, just to situate our viewers. we're looking to the west here. this is where the front of the palisades fire has been expanding. we were here yesterday. we watched this entire hill burn down, but firefighters were able to keep this neighborhood behind me safe. and we're still hearing even now that still in the middle of the night here in los angeles, we're hearing those aerial operations that have been so critical to keep this fire from expanding even further. they're dropping water, they're dropping fire retardant in these communities, in the canyons in mandeville canyon. this is not too far from the 405 freeway that cuts los angeles north to south. as you said, still, evacuation orders, 100,000 people under those evacuation orders, even though some of those areas have already been lifted, there was a snafu. part of what you mentioned with the mayor and part of the issues with the response is that these evacuation orders were sent erroneously to so many people around los angeles county, and now authorities are sa
