Start today at contracosta. Edu the memo and the new reporting on how it could be key evidence in the 2020 election case against donald trump. What one unindicted coconspirator sent over exactly one month before january 6th. A big win in the ballot box for abortion right, now how democrats hope to take this trend nation wide. People in hawaii are waking up to a dire situation. Dire is exactly how the Lieutenant Governor is describing the wildfires raging Out Of Control there right now. The unfolding disaster and the help that they need in hawaii right now. Well get to it. Im kate bolduan with john berman. This is cnn news central. Right now, hawaii is battling unprecedented wildfire. Strong winds are a big part of the problem making it difficult for officials to control the spread. Ill show you video taken overnight. This video overnight of just showing the wildfires moving quickly across western maui. The Drone Operator estimated that the fire was moving one and a half to three miles an hour. There are currently three active fires burning on that island. Two other fires are spreading on the big island. We will show you flames you can see flames, large plumes of smoke encroaching on local communities on these islands. Officials say several buildings there have been destroyed. Hawaiis Lieutenant Governor had said this about the challenges that theyre facing right now. 911 is down. Cell service is done. Phone service is down and thats been part of the problem, our Hospital System in maui, they are overburdened and people suffering from inthat lagsz and we need to fly people out of maui to give them burn support because Maa Hospital Cannot do extensive burn treatment. They are dealing with the situation, and it is unfolding as we speak. Cnns Derek Van Dam is joining us with more on this, how big of an impact is this having out at sea . Its certainly helping or aiding in the fueling of the flames and the tight pressure gradient. Well get to those details in just a moment, but listening to the radio that we have with the hawaii Lieutenant Governor and this is all Hands On Deck and shes issuing an Emergency Proclamation on the big island near waimea bay. Its not just maui. It is also on the big island of that way where were seeing these fires continue to spread. We have very erratic fire behavior. Weve all seen the video. Lets get to space and show you what it looks like. Get some contextual perspective on this. You can see hot spots from space and this is the big island, thats maui and smoke and you can see the direction of the wind because its pushing it in the southwesterly direction. The winds are coming from the eastnortheast and its all being fueled or helped fanned by what is Hurricane Dora to the south and west. So thats the High Pressure to the north and Hurricane Dora. Both are working together to put a squeeze on the island of hawaii and thats allowing for the winds to pick up and the problem is that this wind similar to lets say, Santa Ana Winds in Southern California is that it dries out and it warms up as it passes over the mountains and it creates these very dry, timberlake conditions. Weve had wind gusts in excess of 80 Miles Per Hour on the island of maui. Sustained winds over 25 Miles Per Hour and as we continue to see the Funneling Effect we will see the impacts with the wildfires continue at least for the next 12 hours before Hurricane Dora moves well away from the islands. 12 more hours. They really need help right now. Derek, thank you so much. Hes going to be watching this. Folks are clearly waking up or havent gone to sleep overnight for what theyre dealing with. On the phone joining us right now is one man who lives in hawaii and has been dealing with exactly what were talking about. Allen decar. Can you hear me . Yes, i can. Thank you so much. The control room just told me youve had to evacuate twice because of how these fires have been moving. Yes. Tell me what youve been going through. Whats the situation . So i live and work in lahaina town and had to evacuate. I took some video that you may have seen already of front street when it really kind of exploded in fire, and then i evacuated. I grabbed some people i saw on the street who didnt look like they had a good plan. I told them get in my truck. Theres only one road that leads out of lahaina and it was backed up, but thats okay. We made it through. I dropped everybody else off and i went to a place in another part of maui thats far away and as soon as i got there that whole area had to evacuate because of a totally different fire in kula that was, i guess, heading down to i was in Maui Meadows Near Wailea if you have a map. All of a sudden just as i arrived that whole area got evacuated. So now, im in a totally different part of maui in a rain forest because i figured that was enough, and im safe here at least from a fire e vashg situ evacuation because its a rain forest. As youre talking, some of the video you sent in. The winds of the fire the winds this just looks terrifying. Youve lived there a really long time. Have you ever seen anything like this . Yes. Never seen anything like this. The winds started overnight and there wasnt any real warning about this, so there was sometimes theres a warning about an upcoming storm. Certainly, we get lots of Hurricane Warnings about hurricanes that will come close, but not hit us, but nothing like that. The thing about this wind is it was a lot of gusts, 40 or 50 miles an hour, and this is in the middle of the night because things were breaking, branches were coming down, and i went outside at one point, and i had trouble standing up against the wend wind, but it was gusty. It wasnt a constant wind and it was hot. And it was hot. Ive never experienced one where it felt in my house when the wind blew and a little bit of wind came into the room it felt like there was a heater because we dont have heaters. So it was a weird sensation, and ive been here for 24 years, never had that here before. Its different. It does seem different. Talk to me about, also, you have a business, and i believe you have three maybe three properties . Do you know how your properties are . All three of my properties are in the same neighborhood in lahaina town. One of them one of the tenants had already come to me earlier in the very early afternoon because a tree from the resort thats right behind my property had blown over and destroyed everything in my backyard and she has guests coming tomorrow, now today, and she had set up a bunch of things for them and we were trying to figure out backup plans, and then she came back a half hour after that in tears really frantic, and all she could tell me she didnt have time to do anything. She just grabbed her mom and her dog. The house of on fire because the resort was on fire and it had come across the tree. So one of myw on fire because t resort was on fire and it had come across the tree. So ona on fire because the resort was on fire and it had come across the tree. So ons on fire because the resort was on fire and it had come across the tree. So one of my houses definitely caught fire. The other houses are each a block away, and i did not see them burn, but i recognize there is a very good chance that they are not there anymore. Both of them were completely covered in smoke after i started to evacuate. I went back to just check to see if the house was on fire or not. It wasnt, but i was standing at the street looking at my house, and i couldnt see my whole house because of the smoke, but the smoke was coming from another property that was a few buildings away and i went down to front street right after that and wanted to check on my gallery. Ive had a gallery in the center of front street for 23 years, and as i began walking that way, there is a Historic Building dickinson street, the old baldwin house, the roof was on fire, and i started taking a video of it because i was amazeded that there were no fire trucks there, and then as i turned and looked down front street, front street exploded in flame, and i took the other videos that i posted from dickinson on front street looking right into the heart of the business district, and theres about a twoblock stretch, two long blocks of front street that are the economic hub of maui, and there thats what you see in the video. I think this is the video that wooe ere seeing right now. Thank you so much. I am so glad to hear that you seem safe right now. I am so sorry for what youre going through and what is quite honestly very much unfolding as we speak as the officials in hawaii are saying these fires are burning Out Of Control. They just told us earlier this hour. Please be as careful as you can and we will stay in touch with you. Alan dick ar, thank you so much. This sounds horrible. Listening to him, and seeing the pictures and i get when we hear from officials this is not at all under control. The flames are blowing it on to the next street and before the highway. Its before dawn. Wait until they get to wake up and see the damage from overnight. Thank you. This morning what is being seen as a huge victory for Abortion Rights. This is over a Ballot Initiative in ohio. Voters there rejected a measure that would have made it harder to pass Abortion Rights measures in the upcoming november election and they did it resoundingly. 57 to 43 . Thats a 14 margin in a state that donald trump, a red state, trump won it by 8 . Cnns jeff zeleny is in columbus, ohio, this morning. This was a big result, jeff with potentially national implications. It definitely was, john. It means one thing, ohio will be the only state in the country with abortion on the ballot in november. This november. So all eyes in the state by state fight over Abortion Rights will be here in ohio, and it would have been regardless, but the rules will now be a simple majority will be needed to pass this bill. If the issue one, would have succeeded yesterday in ohio, it would have required a super majority of 60 and that was the voters and lawyers were asked if theyd like to change the rules of how difficult it is to change the states constitution and they resoundingly said no, but john, this is reverberating as you said, state by state and other states are looking at this and some initiative. Folks want to put this on the ballot next year in arizona and the key swing state and the white house weighing in, as well and the president saying overnight that this measure was a blatant attempt to weaken voters voices and yes, this was about abortion although the word wasnt directly on the ballot, but the issue absolutely was, and it is a continuation of what we saw just about a year ago last sumner kansas inover the Supreme Court decision of roe versus wade. It has gone to a handful of states and ohio is the latest one and john, this is a warning sign also for republicans going into 2024. If you look at the map in Suburban Areases where donald trump won handily, the no vote won handily. This has ramifications far beyond ohio and far beyond this year. Jeff zeleny in columbus. Standing between jeff and me, you can see cnn senior data reporter, i mentioneded that basically, the proxy for Abortion Rights won by 14 in ohio in a state that donald trump won by eight. You have another way to look at this swing. Jeff was talking about those counties that swung from donald trump over to the no side. This will give yuan understanding of whats going on. Joe biden won, get this, seven counties in ohio. Look at no on issue one. Won 22 counties, a bunch, a ton. Again thshgs is a proxy for Abortion Rights outperforming basically joe biden or the baseline for democrats and youve seen this, harry, in lots of measures over the last year or so. Abslaolutely right. Weve had six Ballot Measures that were abortion right side, on the Ballot Measure since july of 2022 when roe v. Wade was overturned and look at what they did, the proabortion side and they won every single one of them. 77 . Blue state there and blue state of california. 59 , look at montana, a red state, 53 . Kentucky, another red state where the proa Borgs Bortion i surprise where abortion won, and disappointing roe v. Wade. The vast majority of democrats at 93 . Look at independents. 69 . Boy, wouldnt that be a nice percentage for joe biden to get in 2024 . Even republican, nearly a third republicans disapproved of the Supreme Court overturning roe v. Wade. Obviously what democrats want is to figure out a way to take this obvious support on balance for Abortion Rights nationwide and see if they can expand it just beyond the abortion issue. Any evidence there . Yeah. Take a look at the special elections. The average special election the democratic margin compared to joe bidens margin. Look, in 2021, 2022, the role reversal. Those average democrats did three points worse than biden and look at the postroe, six points better than biden. Its not just abortion. Its transitioning to the ballot box. Harry enton, great to see you. Kate . Coming up for us, a never before seen memo with the plan to overturn the 2020 election and what this could mean for the case against donald trump. Top u. S.

The New York Times has obtained this previously secret memorandum that could be central to the prosecutors case against donald trump. Its a key piece of evidence that is talked about in the indictment, and it describes the alleged conspiracy to appoint fake electors after the 2020 election. The document, which has not previously ever been seen, explains and goes into detail how this could swing the election, the actions they would take in this memo and if not that, at least muck things up and buy the trump team more time. The memo was written by lawyer kenneth chesebro. Hes listed as coconspirator number five in the Election Interference Indictment and remember that none of the coconspirators named in
