Maker of oxycontin. What happens in vegas, hacking, the white house telling thousands of hackers to try to do their worst against chatgpt. Cnn this morning starts right now. The tragedy in hawaii is getting worse by the hour. Overnight, the increase in the death toll up to now 55, and most people we speak with expect its going to go even higher. And very concerned about a lack of warning that were hearing from some of the residents there. Hawaiis governor says that number of dead likely to increase significantly as Search And Rescue teams go through Hundreds Od Washington Are Headed To Hawaii now. They will be searching for survivors. They are also bringing cadaver dogs. Were getting intel now that the Rescue Effort is severe. And we want to match that need with what we have. Our personnel here are highly trained. They train over the course of several years for this very moment to serve. And as poppy mentioned, there are serious questions about if and when people were warned to evacuate. Some survivors say they didnt get the Evacuation Orders or the orders came too late. When the flames were already closing in. And we just spoke to one man who said he never heard any sirens. I probably wouldnt have been able to grab anything in my house. I dont know if i would have been able to find my car keys, find my phone, find my dog food, whatever. It pinged me as i was getting into my truck to leave, so that warning was completely useless. We have tsunami warnings that i think should have been utilized. I think this could have been handled so much better in so many ways. So many of us residents felt like we had absolutely no warning. Heres the time line on when social media alerts were sent out. A brush fire was spotted early on tuesday and at 8 38 a. M. , the county Facebook Page put out this message, ordering evacuations around lahaina intermediate school. You see the school marked on the map here, which ended up not being in the area most impacted. About 90 minutes later, the county says the fire is 100 contained. Another evacuation message doesnt go out for five hours. Were talking 3 33, when the next ones out. Our own bill weir got a firsthand look at the destruction. He walked through the burned streets of lahaina. This is the historic banyan tree, it looks like it may have been survived. It needs water desperately to survive iright now but for the locals coming down and looking at the damage, this is such a sign of hope that maybe their iconic tree will have lived when so much else is gone here. But the history can never be replaced. Right here, this is the first hotel in hawaii, the pioneer hotel, pioneer theater. Its completely gone. Right over here was the library. Its just now a stone shell of scorched blocks around front street there, fleetwood, Mic Fleet Wood of the band fleetwood mac. His place is gutted out with flames. Its just unrecognizable. One of the most charming, beloved port cities anywhere in the world is just scorched like a bomb went off. Wow. Like a bomb went off. Well have much more live with our bill weir in the next hour. Our thanks to him. As we mentioned, its unclear how high the death toll in maui is and how high it could go. Police dont know how many people are actually missing. How many people are still missing at this hour . Do you want to defer that to me . Sure. Whomever. Honestly we dont know. And heres the challenge. Theres no power. Theres no internet. Theres no Radio Coverage until we get some of those basic things set up. We are not going to have that number. Tim Williams Family has not seen him since he sent them this photo of the inferno closing this as he was evacuating. Hes a disabled veteran who uses a wheelchair and crutches to walk. Lindas family in massachusetts says they are not heard from her since the fire destroyed her apartment, and theyre even more concerned because she has health issues. She doesnt get around very well. She needs some assistance, and i just hope that someone was able to get to her and help her to evacuate. Theyre looking but we have not heard anything yet. And from what i have seen, it looks like their Apartment Complex is completely gone. Allen vu is with us now. He lost his home and the place where he worked. His restaurant, where he was the chef there, the fire took both. Allen, im sorry to speak with you under these circumstances, but i do want to start with at least some good news. There was a question about an employee, a coworker. You did not have any idea where this person was, but you have an update now, tell us about it. You know, it came from our tremendous strong leadership from the company. What we first did was make sure that we made sure all of our employees were taken into account from management staff. We made sure that we continuously text and phone called every employee to make sure that theyre accounted for. And it was just until today that we were able to contact the final one, which was angelina, and she is currently with her boyfriend north of lahaina now. So everybody is accounted for. That is the good news. Let me start, though, with when you knew that you couldnt wait this out, that you had to move, where were you, and what was the first indication that this was an emergency that you had to escape from . We didnt expect the fire to go through the town this quick. I was with my general manager, jerica in our restaurant, thinking that if the possibility of power coming back, we can salvage our products and our restaurant. We were just getting some work done. I left the bar, restaurant, around 3 00 p. M. With my house mates. They were with me the whole time. And as we were driving to town, we could see that theres smoke coming our way. We drove down on front street towards our house, which is southbound. During that time, there was already an evacuation with bumper to Bumper Traffic going northbound on front street, going up to the civic center. When we got to our place, we continued to look up at the smoke, and it was just, you know, within minutes we could see the smoke brush, i would say, a half mile through the town. The footage i shared with some of your Staff Members that the fire went through the town really quick, and when we saw that, it was time to warn everyone in our neighborhood to get out. Speaking of warning everyone in the neighborhood to get out. It was evident based on what youre describing, the traffic, smoke that you had to make a move, but did you receive any alerts, any warnings officially from the city on your cell phone, anything like that . On my cell phone, we had warnings of strong winds and, you know, possible fires, but no real, you know, like the no real warning like the amber alerts for the storms that we normally get that would vibrate and make loud noises from our phone. We didnt get any of that. There was no sirens. We had monthly sirens, tsunami. Tsunami noises just to make sure the sirens worked every month, but on that day there was no sirens. No sirens. So your home is destroyed. Your workplace is destroyed. What do you do now . Well, im fortunate enough to be housed in wailuku, which is a town 30 miles away from lahaina, along with my landlord, and house mates and my dog. Im staying at my coworkers place, marcus, but a lot of us that are displaced from lahaina are staying at a shelter at the War Memorial Stadium here in town. But right now, you know, were planning ahead about what to do in the week, what to do in two weeks. Theres a lot of plans of being there for the Relief Support in lahaina when they open up access for everyone to enter because we saw footage of how destructive that place is, and everyone is ready to come back and revive the place. We have spoken with people over the last two days, southeseveral days now, that are relying upon their friends, their neighbors, like you are, and we spoke with Cole Millington earlier whos one of 15 staying at a friends house. As it relates to the government support, local, state, federal, have you received support . Do you know where repyou can ge that . Whats the communication from those resources to you . Well, for me personally, i havent been, you know, paying attention to a lot of news or radio. But we do hear that, you know, governors talking about sending in help, we heard that theres assistance from our president wanting to send support in. We do know that theres an army and naval base on oahu. As of now, we are seeing very little support from big organizations. We hear that there is coast guards or National Guards thats assisting with organization in lahaina. But at the same time, we are in contact with a lot of residents in lahaina that are stuck up north who are out of power, out of water, out of gas. Theres no gas. So a lot of civilians, and a lot of people are trying to access into lahaina, northbound or southbound to provide support. Allen vu, we are happy that you are safe, that angelina is safe, everybody there at the marlan bar, and thank you for spending time with us and telling us your story. Be well. Appreciate it.

In just a few hours, trumps team will meet judge Tanya Chutkan in a courtroom. Shes the judge overseeing the 2020 election interference case. This comes as federal prosecutors are hoping to start the trial just ahead of the january 6th anniversary. Our elie honig is here with more. What is the significance of today, as theyre before the judge kwwho will see this whole thing. The case were focused on here is the federal case brought by doj Special Counsel jack smith relating to Donald Trumps effort to steal the 2020 election. Now, the main issue in front of the young today is what can donald trump say and do publicly relating to discovery . Now, discovery means that in any criminal case, prosecutors have an obligation to turn over all of their evidence, all of their witness statements, all of that documents before trial. Jack smith has taken the position there should be a protective order preventing donald trump from speaking publicly about all materials, everything. Trumps team has said we should limit that only to sensitive materials, not all materials, and well let you, jack smith, tell us which ones are sensitive. No good, you have to be stopped from talking about all the materials. And jack smith cites Donald Trumps inflammatory social media posts including this infamous one. Is that realistic, would any other defendant face Something Like that, you cant talk about anything . Its drastic, but jack smith argues its merited based on the circumstances and the fear that jack smith is we dont want witnesses being intimidated here. Theres a secondary issue before the judge today. We have learned there are some, not many, but some classified documents in the january 6th case. This is separate from the maralago case, all about classified documents. The parties have to work out how theyre going to deal with classified documents. This is the first appearance in front of District Court judge, Tanya Chutkan. She understands the defendants constitutional rights. She has handled prior january 6th cases harshly. This is the part i think is going to make today so interesting. She is a big believer in defendants rights. Trial schedule, what are we looking at, they want january 2nd. Jack smith asked for january 2nd, 2024. Trump has not weighed in yet. This indictment dropped last week. On august 1st, if they do a january 2nd trial, Jury Selection is going to start here. That would give trumps team four and a half months to prepare. Thats a really short amount of time. Bigger picture, and heres where it gets sort of crazy, okay, the election is in november 2024. We already have the manhattan d. A. s trial starting in march. That will go through april. We already have the maralago trial starting at the end of may, thats going to go through june and july, and now jack smith is saying, lets start the January 6th Trial in early january. Theres just not room for that. Youre not going to get this trial in before march. This is the d. A. s trial. That one is going to have to move in order for this one to get in early. Theres a lot here. Thank you, stick around. We have a lot to talk about. Senator tim scott signs the Loyalty Pledge and seals his place at the first gop debate.

Republican president ial hopefuls are there, and whats become an important political tradition in the first in the nation caucus state. Its one of the biggest state fairs in the country. Its eleven days long. If people come for the typical call fair atmosphere, the rides and the corn dogs and the famous butter cow, but every four years, theres swarms of voeter who come to check out the field, before the caucus in january. The fair is the chance for candidates to get their names out there, and also show off their ability to field questions from voters and reporters.

I think kyung was the only lucky one, and you get to be there too. Reporter would i miss the Iowa State Fair . You would not. Talk about how important it really is. Reporter well, theres a huge opportunity here for candidates. First of all, the local and National Press sort of gather here, and theres a whole sort of free Media Opportunity for candidates to get a lot of attention, especially those candidates who have been starved for attention in this race. Thats one. Two, its also a real opportunity to mix and mingle with voters and have these candidates get their tires kicked, if you will, by the voters. Thats what they do in these early states, and i know you played that video at the top of pence getting heckled. I would just say having watched him here yesterday, that was not sort of the typical encounter that he had. He had a very, i would call, successful day at the fair. He seems sort of in his skin and natural at h
