Good morning, everyone. It is saturday, september 16th. Im amara walker. Im victor blackwell. Youre in the cnn newsroom. We begin this morning with dangerous Weather Conditions brought by now post Tropical Cyclone lee. As necklace starts to feel the impact as new england starts to feel the impact of the storm, Boston International airport is experiencing a spike in flight cancellations. So far, 25 of flights leaving boston have been canceled. That is according to flight aware. While the storm is not expected to make landfall in the u. S. , the outer bands of the powerful storm are expected to pack strong 50 to 60 mileanhour winds and bring storm surges that can cause flooding throughout the new england post. Authorities are telling people to prepare to go home and stay there, as the storm pushes north through the day. Lee is also expected to cause dangerous rip currents along the atlantic coast, with many states warning people to stay out of the ocean this weekend, because of the dangerous surf conditions. Were covering this storm with derek van dam, cape cod, Allison Chincar in the weather center. Moving closer to the water now, what are you seeing, now, where youre expecting, what youre expecting over the next few hours . It looks like were having Audio Trouble there and lets turn it over to Allison Chinchar and let us know what to expect. Were taking a look at where the storm is now, and some of the biggest impacts we have from this area are actually over maine. This is a live look at bar harbor maine, lots of rain coming down. It has been very heavy at times. You can see the trees in the Background Whipping around, too, and indicating the wind gusts are continuing to increase across the area. Those rain bands, we are looking at some of the yellow, the heavier rain, just now starting to slide into the bar harbor region with bands pushing into boston, providence, rhode island, and some heavy rain across nova scotia and new brunswick, canada. Now one thing to note, the system itself, the name may have changed and now post Tropical Cyclone lee and the impacts from the storm have not changed. It has Hurricane Force winds, sustained winds of 80 Miles Per Hour and the wind gusts up around 100 Miles Per Hour, it is moving to the north, at about 25 Miles Per Hour. And it is expected to make landfall over the southern portion of nova scotia, in just the next few hours, and then it will continue off to the north and east. Heres a look at again the forecast for the wind, even though the bulk of the heavy winds will be on the righthand flank of this storm, mainly focused over portions of nova scotia, and new brunswick, you are still likely to have wind gusts around a, even 60 Miles Per Hour, for maine, portions of new hampshire, and massachusetts, and that is enough to bring down trees and cause some subsequent Power Outages. Wind is still going to be a big factor, even though the strongest winds will likely be more over canada, the u. S. Is still going to have some impacts. Rainfall as well, rain bands are going to continue off and on across maine, connecticut, rhode island, new hampshire, massachusetts, and well into the afternoon hours, and once we get to the evening, then the rain really is just focused on maine. And by tomorrow morning, the bulk of that rain is really just focused over canada. And things will start to dry out here on the u. S. End. Until that happens, you have to keep in mind, a lot of these areas of new england have a tremendous amount of rain this summer, and even over the last few weeks, so that ground is already saturated and now youre adding two, three, four inches of additional rain, so it is not going to take much to trigger some further flooding, thats why you have this slight risk here across portions of maine, stretching from caribou all the way to bar harbor and just to the east of portland. Thats where were going to see the biggest chance in terms of the flooding potential. But again, maine is not the only area, youve also got massachusetts, the area where derek is as well, and again, we will be looking at this, two main concerns here with the storm, the winds and the Power Outages that could be caused from that, and then also the potential for flooding. Allison, thank you. Derek has a new mic. Lets go back to the cape. What you are seeing there . Yes, i think people will forgive us, victor, were out in the middle of a Tropical Storm, right . So technical difficulties should be expected. But we worked on it. And what i was trying to portray to our viewers is that the Wind Direction here on the cape, cape cod, and massachusetts, has changed. And now, were starting to see the westerly component behind the storm, push up the swells, and nantucket is about 15 miles over my righthands shoulder. This storm has ballooned in size. And even though were 450 miles from the center of the storm, were still feeling the impacts here on cape cod. We have been stressing that for several days now, the back of the storm has been so big, it is why we expected to see these impacts, especially along coastal new england and particularly in cape cod where i am. So we will get to the graphics, and hopefully we can give you a better handle on how close of a call it really was for us in cape cod, and the cape cod bay area. You can see, we just went through a low tide cycle. And that was at 7 13 this morning. Were working towards high tide. So the water is pushing. But the bulk of the storm now has moved a little further on. So we didnt time high tide with the most powerful winds from what was hurricane lee, so that is good news. So hopefully that will hold back some of that potential coast situation, and swells in nantucket, approaching 20 feet. You can still see the Flood Warnings that are in place right along the coastline. Down east maine. And into cape cod. The coastal areas of massachusetts. And the current wind gusts here, this is fascinating, there was a 55 mileanhour wind gust, so that is Tropical Storm force in nantucket, and right now, theyre gusting to about 39, so thats still Tropical Storm force. And we anticipate these winds to last here, another three to six hours, before the system finally makes landfall, into, it looks like the Canadian Maritimes and nova scotia. But regardless, it is a large storm, impacts well outside of this area, and just checked on this as well, in maine, theres now 44,000 customers without power, so anticipated to go up, because the strongest winds now impacting Eastern Maine and it is very easy to topple trees there, and take down power lines, so we anticipate that number to continue to climb this morning. So victor, amara, the storm kind of playing out like a noreaster here. I think thats what people anticipated. Thats how they braced their properties for. Thats how they braced their homes for. And theyve been through it before. So they know how to handle it. Derek van dam, and Allison Chinchar, thank you both. The United Auto Workers and the big three car makers are expected to continue negotiations today. It is day two now of the uaw targeted strike. Thousands of members are walking the picket lines in three cities. Theyre demanding pay increases, a return to traditional pensions, and protections against job losses as the Industry Shifts to Electric Vehicles. This is the first time in uaw history, that it has led strikes against all three of americans unionized automakers at the same time. Cnns gabe cohen joins us from toledo, ohio. I see theyre already on the picket lines. What are you seeing there . Thats absolutely right. The crowds that we have seen over the past 36 hours now, let me see if i can actually give you a look, as we come down to the street, were outside this stellantis factory in toledo, and a half mile from this complex, there are groups all the way across, outside every single gate at the factory. 5800 workers, in this complex, they are on strike now, and the uaw members, 13,000 across country and look we know theyre heading and we can get back on the sidewalk now, we know theyre heading back to the Bargaining Table today, the two sides here, and the union says they sent counteroffers to each of the big three, ford, General Motors and Stellantis Yesterday and now waiting for a response. We dont know the details of what is in those offers but we did get a better sense late yesterday about how wide the divide has been between these sides with the head of the union saying 80 of the members demands, 80 have not been met in any of the offers that they have seen up to this point from the automakers, so it doesnt seem like were nearing a deal at this point. Look, it is day two. We are hearing a lot of energy from these folks, chanting, cheering, i want to bring in derek, the strike captain, is that right, for this group . That is correct. Of all the factories, the plants across the country that have been selected for this initial tactical strike, you guys were one of them. What was your reaction when you heard that news . I felt that they did a good job, hitting them with their money maker here, and the wrangler is one of the highest profitable vehicles in the company, and he is showing them that he is serious. Youre talking about the jeeps that are made here, about a thousand a day. They are back in the Bargaining Table today. Your leadership, along with the automakers, we have heard strong words from both sides. What is your message for the Union Leadership today as they head back to the Bargaining Table, speaking for so many of the members here. We stand behind you guys. We like the demands that the union has. And we are out here supporting you. And we feel that is what we deserve. And what is the frustration, do you think, after months of negotiation, it has led to this, what are the biggest points of frustration, do you think, that members are feeling right now, that led to this moment and this strike . Our pay has not kept up with inflation. And our temperatures are being abuse our temps are being abused here, we have temps who have been here for six years, with no benefit, no guaranteed time to full time, and our bay is not on par with the price of Everything Else going up in the country. We heard the ceo of ford saying if they gave in to all of the unions demands, it would bankrupt the company. What do you make of that . I dont believe that. I feel they show record profits, and we deserve a record contract. Thats our stance. Thank you so much. Really appreciate it. And good luck. So as you can hear, guys, day two, it will be interesting to see if any progress is made up in michigan at that Bargaining Table, between the union and the automakers, but for now, look, so many of these workers have told me that they prepared for this, they were told months, even years ago, that a strike could be coming at some point, and they should be saving their money, not easy to do, if youre living pay check to paycheck, as some people have told me they are, but still, they knew a strike could be coming, and so many have said theyre ready to do this for as long as it takes. Victor, amara . Lets hope it doesnt take too long. Gabe cohen shall appreciate your reporting. Thank you. Lets go to cnn white house reporter, kevin, we heard from President Biden yesterday, just hours after the thousands of workers walked out. It sounded like President Biden he stopped just short of endorsing strike but he did seem to show his support for those workers. Reporter yes, very forcefully coming out on the side of the unions, and that was notable, because as these talks have proceeded over the last several months, President Biden and the white house have avoided taking an explicit side in all of this, really hoping that the auto workers and the automakers could come to some sort of agreement. That all changed in the Roosevelt Room yesterday. The president coming out and saying that record profits for these automakers must translate to Record Contracts for the workers who he has said had seen their wages eroded over the past several years, as well as their benefits. Now, listen to a little bit more of what the president had to say. No one wants a strike. Say it again. No one wants a strike. But i respect workers rights to use their options over the collective bargaining system. They have been around the clock and the companies have made some significant offers but i believe they should go further. Record corporate profits mean Record Contracts for the uaw. Now, this strike is really coming at the intersection of so many important priorities for President Biden, really striking at the heart of his political identity. Of course, hes referred to himself as the most prounion president in history. And a key part of his economic agenda is boosting wages for the middle class. But at the same time, he has the imperative of maintaining a strong economy, and certainly, the strike, if it goes on for a while could have serious effects nationwide. You also see the president s push to transition to Electric Vehicles really coming into play here. One of the key sticking points for the auto workers is ensuring that that transition to Electric Vehicles comes with good wages, the same number of jobs for auto workers and of course, you have to play into this, the electoral politics of michigan, and of course, it is a key battleground state, the president is still pursuing, an endorse from the uaw, and now we did say yesterday that he was dispatching two key aides, James Sperling and the acting Labor Secretary, to troo detroit to try and get support for these two sides but it does remain to be seen how much effect they have as the talks condition. Kevin, in washington, thank you. Joining me now is Michigan Democratic representative Debbie Dingell, of course, representing michigan, you are the exact right person to talk to this morning. Thanks for joining us. Let me start here. I understand you spoke with the president of the uaw, what can you tell us about what we should expect as we go into this first negotiation to the start of the strike, and if there is any momentum toward one another. So, good morning. I have been talking to him from the day he was sworn in as president and the fact of the matter is i gave one keynote to the Bargaining Convention after he became president. I have been talking to these auto workers for months and i know whats on their mind. He has been very clear, after, from day one, i can count on people, this is part of being very clear, and he was very clear after he got elected that he would target all three companies which nobody took too seriously until this past week. He is very clear what needs to be done, what the workers want. They gave up cola in 2008 and 2009. In real wages, of what they were making, in 2008 and 2009, they are behind what that meant then. They need an increase in their pay. People are working on the assembly line, doing the same job, and they want job security. And were at a cross roads. You talked about it earlier, a minute ago, when you talked about the transition from the internal Combustion Engine to Electric Vehicles. There are a lot of issues here. So cola being a cost of living adjustment, just so folks who are not keeping up with the acronyms and make sure theyre on board as well. Sorry. Thats all right. I goch you. Ill catch it if you drop one. And you said youve known for months there was a good chance of a stroke but around labor day President Biden said he didnt think there would be one. Let me ask you about the reporting from politico today, after that happened, the uaw president , representative and Debbie Dingell and others were watching in a labor day parade in detroit when they learned of bidens comments and dingell would then say that he called longtime Biden Adviser and screamed at him over the comment. According to a person familiar with the talk and granted anonymity to discuss details. Are you out of your fing mind, dingell said, per the person. First, did that conversation happen . And second, leading up to the strike, what is your assessment of how the white house handled the messaging and the potential for the strike . Okay, so i dont know what friend decided to hear this, but im not going to deny that im debbie and sometimes when i get incensed my language gets incensed. All right. And i have had regular ongoing conversations with the white house, and Steve Sperling was assigned to this, i talked to him regularly, i talked to the Labor Secretary last night, acting Labor Secretary, for some time, so i am somebody who believes very strongly that the president should not mingle at least in this negotiation or this in strike. I think that they need to determine, and work with, work on the policy, for help in this transition, where it might be helpful. And i think those conversations will continue, and i think that this has to be solved at the Bargaining Table. So President Biden came out yesterday, and he said that record corporate profits should mean Record Contracts, and he is obviously on the side of the union, and the Union Workers. Are you satisfied with the fullthroatedness, i will use that word, i just made it up if it isnt one, of his endorsement, the aggressiveness of his support for the union, or do you think he should go further . Look, im not going to i think we all got to be supporting the worker right now. Is he going far enough, congresswoman . I think the uaw would like to see him go further. What do you want . I think he needs to make it clear, he is fighting for the union worker. I know he is. Because ive talked to him. But the Union Workers are the ones who need to know that he is. It is not enough for me to say that. I am in union halls almost every weekend and anybody who knows me, knows that, because i want to stay in touch with what theyre thinking and i tell them, i have had these oneonones, with joe biden, i have known him for 40 years and the workers needs to know and i think he is trying to do that now. Hes trying to do it now. I will come back and take another spit at it. Does he need to do more he does he need to do more to let the Union Workers know he has their backs more than what he said yesterday . I think he tried to do that yesterday. I think the made were a is trying to, you know what, i dont want is people putting more kerosene on an already flammable situation. I think Everybody Needs to talk to each other, listen to each other, figure out how theyre contributing to get the strike solved and taking care of the worker and keeping the competitive auto industry, from country and have good paying union jobs. I will be very careful to not get in the way and have everybody to talk to each other and know each other has each others back and come out of this for everybody involved but the worker needs a win. Representative Debbie Dingell, thanks so much for being with us. Thank you. Still ahead, just days after he was indicted, we are learning that President Bidens son hunter biden could face more federal charges.

We have learned that Special Counsel investigating hunter biden has filed additional federal charges against the president s son. This comes just days after hunter biden unprecedented intermittent on three felony gun charges. Special counsel david weiss has a one month window to decide whether or not he will pursue tax charges against hunter biden in california or washington, d. C. And a judge in Fulton County has rejected District Attorney fani williss plan to try former President Donald Trump in his, and his 18 codefendants together in the Georgia Election subversion case on october 23. Obviously a win for trump. To discuss both Hunter Bidens legal issues and the election subversion case is former federal prosecutor, joining us this morning. Let me first start with you. You are a former prosecutor. How unusual is it that hunter biden, who has no criminal history, being indicted on a nonviolent crime, without more serious underlying crimes, how unusual is that . Amara, it is very unusual. As you said, i was a federal prosecutor, and one of the main prosecutions i had was fellen in possessions, statute 922, it was, you know, try to kind of clean up the street of violent felons who got out of prison, would get firearms and would then use those firearms in other violent felonies. Those were very commonplace. In fact, the Department Of Justice once in a while would roll out, you know, felony in possession, six months, you know, just attack those kind of cases as a policy. But never did i prosecute, nor anyone in my office, when i was a federal prosecutor, people who had no history, you know, no criminal history, who were involved in drugs, and then tried to get a firearm. Yes, that law is there. It can be used. But in my experience, and the experience of my old office, we never did that. It is very unusual. So what do you make of this decision then, behind the Special Counsel who is supposed to be independent . What is his position in your opinion . Lets look at it. They have, you know, supposedly a sweetheart deal, thats what the republicans have painted the tax deal when hunter biden would plead guilty to two misdemeanors on failing to file taxes on a timely manner. That, the judge threw out that that was too easy on him and i think the Special Counsel the prosecutor were in a position of what do we find . What else is out there . And he meets the definition, yes, hes got comments about being on drugs while he purchased the firearm, and so yes, technically under that statute, if it survives constitutionality, he could be charged. And i guess it kind of makes sense, but to me, it looks like a lot of political pressure. Its a charge above but really never used. Lets talk about the constitutionality in just a second and just quickly, could hunter biden get a plea deal from this again . You know, the deal he was going to get before was a diversion case. In other words, he would probably never the misdemeanor would be diverted in a version nare program, he would never get any time for that, this one, amara, this is different, key get time, these are felony charges, and yes, they are going to be pled down, but to misdemeanors, its hard to plead a felony, three felonies down to misdemeanors. So the heart of this federal case is that hunter biden allegedly lied about drug use on a federal form when he purchased the handgun, i think it was back in 2018. Right. Talk to me about the constitutionality, because there is an argument to be made about the seconds amendment and how it, the Second Amendment and how it protects gun rights. Right. You got it exactly right. The Second Amendment comes into play. And as i said, this statute says drug users and violent felons and there are a couple of other things, too, thrown in there, cant use firearms. Well, violent felons, people who have been convicted of felonies before, they lose some of their constitutional rights. For example, theyre not automatically allowed to be on juries, for example. Right . But people who have been involved in drugs and not convicted, right, even in a diversionary program, to lose your right to bear a firearm, under the Second Amendment for that, i think thats a real constitutional question that of course would have to be tried at a higher court and be decided if Hunter BidensDefense Lawyers bring it up, decided before this even goes forward even further or certainly on appeal. So it is a very live issue for me. Got it. And at least, really quickly before we go, i did want to touch on a Fulton County judge, scott mack fe, thursday, rejecting fani williss efforts to try all 19 defendants together, i know we talked about this before, logistically it doesnt seem possible and now it is a victory for trump, right, that, you know, he wont have to go to trial in october, whats the big takeaway here . I mean what does this mean for the time line . Right. Maybe a victory for trump. But here is a little twist on it. What if some of these defendants who are going before trump turn against him as part of their defense . Now, then it would not be a victory for trump. And thats one of the reasons why you dont try all 19 people together, in hopes, actually, that some of the people coming before you are going to turn on one defendant or another. Got it. Always a pleasure to talk with you. Thank you. Still ahead, updating Covid Vaccines are newal available and recommended for everyone six months and older.

And will mostly likely double their current levels by december. And that has officials warning that everyone from age six months and up should go and get their updated covid19 vaccine. This week the fda and the cdc both greenlit the new shots which target the newer variants of the virus that are currently circulating. Dr. Sha, the Principal Deputy director at the cdc joining us now in the studio. So good to see you. First of all, tell us about the updated vaccine, how important it is for everyone to get it. First of all, thank you so much for having me here today. And yes, just in the past week, expert advisers to the u. S. Cdc recommended that everyone in the United States six months and over get an updated covid19 vaccine. Those vaccines are now available. They are out there in pharmacies, doctors offices, health centers, around the country. The reason that we think that everyone six months and over should get one of the updated vaccines is that covid is still with us, and even if you had covid, even if you got a vaccine before, the immunity thats generated from that is not forever. It wanes over time. Thats just what our bodies immune systems do. By getting this updated Covid Vaccine, you update your bodys own immune systems plans for how to fight off the virus if you encounter it. One Important Note there, is that now that the vaccines are moving toward the commercial market, there is a lot of concerns that folks have about cost. And access. I want to be really clear. Cost is not a barrier this year. The cdc has a program called the bridge program, for Unand Underinsured Americans to make sure they still have access to covid19 vaccines at no cost. If you go to your favorite Search Engine and look up cdc bridge program, you will get all of the information, including where you can get that shot. Let me ask you the question of when. When to get the shot. Because if you wanted it to be the most potent, with respect to the surges, with the spread, do you get it mid september or wait to halloween . When should people get it. I care more that you get the shot rather than when you get the shot. All that said, i know timing comes up a lot, i will tell you what i have advised my own mother to do, i have suggested that she get it as soon as possible. She calls her local pharmacy and shes got an appointment for this upcoming tuesday. Cases are going up. Hospitalizations are going up. A lot of folks are looking at fall and winter travel. So for my family, sooner the better. I do have to ask you about the comments from a Florida Surgeon general, who is warning adults, healthy adults under 65, against getting the updated vaccine. Saying look, weve had covid, if you have had covid, you probably have some kind of immunity. What do you say to that. It is a Good Opportunity for me to clear up the air around that. There are a lot of different, there is a diversity of opinions around the vaccines. And skeptics of the vaccines point to two separate concerns. One is that the vaccine isnt as effective and the other is that they raise some safety concerns. Particularly in younger folks. The bottom line is that the vaccines are both safe and effective. I will talk quickly about the effectiveness. Cdc data show that even though kids are at a low risk, theyre not at a zero risk. Indeed our data show that there is no group out there that is at zero risk. So even though the risk in kids is low, we dont stop there. Why not drive it even lower . What we found in our data is that about 50 of the kids who have died from covid or have been severely ill had no Underlying Health complications. So you might be a parent right now watching this and saying yeah, covid is out there for kids but my kid is healthy, my kid is not overweight, my kid doesnt haves asthma, my kid doesnt have type one diabetes, they would be the fine. Unfortunately our data suggests the opposite. So thats why we think it is important to get the shot. Skeptics also point to safety concerns, for example inflammation that has happened and we have been the lookout, we have been actively looking for it and we have seen virtually no cases and there arent as many shots being given which is why were still looking for it and bottom line, if youre looking for some things such as inflammation, the work of Heart Inflammation after getting covid, the infection, is a lot higher than it is from getting that after the shot. Should i be getting the covid new updated vaccine in one arm . And the flu vaccine in the other arm on the same day . Because i did this in 2022. You got sick, didnt you . Almost laid my burden down. I was in so much pain that one day. But is there anything that says we should or should not do that . The administration of both shots, getting them both at the same time is the best practice. Whoo really. We recommend that provider does, it because for a lot of folks out there, it is easier to come in once, and get them both at the same time, rather than having to come back, days and days after that. So yes, if you can get both shots on the same day, one in your left arm, one in your right arm, thats the way to do it. Thats what im suggesting, and thats what im going to do, and thats what im suggesting my mom do. All right. You would say your mother would do that on the same day . The best thing our family can do to stay safe. You need a few days, ill hold down the fort. Thank you. Very important. We appreciate it.

Farxiga most of the republican candidates for president are in iowa today, nine candidates, including Florida Governor ron desantis, former Vice President mike pence, South Carolina senator tim scott, and former u. N. Ambassador nikki haley will attend the iowa faith in Freedom Coalition fall banquet. But donald trump will not be there and despite facing four criminal charges, he still has a massive lead. Cnns chief National Affairs correspondent is live in West Des Moines where nikki haley is speaking right now. Reporter good morning, i am at a Maky Haley Cam a Nikki Haley Campaign event, talking to a Breakfast Crowd here in des moines. Four months from the Iowa Caucuses to open the president ial nominating contest next january, she is one of several candidates as you said who are campaigning here throughout the weekend, and Florida Governor ron desantis is campaigning in western iowa, former Vice President mike pence also in the state, as is South Carolina senator tim scott, and others, all of these candidates are trying to win over iowa voters. When we talk to iowa voters, many of them still have open minds. Yes there is no question that former President Donald Trump has commanded this race. Hes leading in the polls. But the history of the Iowa Caucuses will show that this often breaks late. There often have been surprises. So when you talk to voters individually oneonone, there are many open minds here among republican voters, but as you said, this will culminate tonight, in an event for evangelical voters, in previous caucuses, evangelical voters have made up twothirds of republican caucusgoers and this is some of the voters that these candidates are trying to win over, but nikki haley is trying to capitalize on that momentum from her first debate, and of course, the second Republican Debate is a week from next week. So an attentive crowd here having some breakfast here in West Des Moines. You can hear the applause as well, as she takes questions from this crowd. The Iowa Caucuses, four months time.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers speaks out for the First Time Since the season ending achilles injury. Andy scholes is joining us now. He says he wants to play again. The question is, can he play as soon as he thinks he might be able to play. Thats the shocking part of what he said yesterday, guys. He said he will play again. But he didnt rule out that it is going to be the end of this season. Because normally, you tear an achilles in sports, it means youre out at least a year.

To baseball, we had a scary moment for the yankees pitcher anthony last night, in the bottom of the sixth inning, he takes a 100 mileanhour line drive right off the head. And he was down on the ground for several minutes. He was able to stand up on his own power before being carted off the field. He was aware and alert before being taken to the hospital. His Teammate Garrett Cole was shaken up talking about the incident after the game. Im sick to my stomach about it. You know, i have been hit in the head on that mound, and not quite like that, but you know, ive seen some other guys get smoked, and you just pray for him, really, hoping he comes through all right. Wish him the best. Elsewhere, the angels, ohtanis season is over, after his locker was cleared out in the angels clubhouse. Mostly cleared out, i should say.
