president. and after the colorado supreme court disqualified donald trump from the ballot, they are asking the supreme court to stay out of the federal election case. how is this playing out in the 2024 case. evan, the colorado supreme court said last night that trump is not eligible to be on colorado s ballot because the 14th amendment to the u.s. constitution bans insurrectionists from holding office. the u.s. supreme court is going to decide whether that ruling stands ultimately. what might this mean for the 2024 election? well, jake, what it means is that it puts the supreme court squarely in possibly deciding how this election goes forward, right? not since the bush v gore decision in 2000 have we had the supreme court in the middle of an election race. you look at the timeline that we have ahead of us, the former president has until january 4th to file an appeal. we don t anticipate he will do that for a few days, but we think he will go to the supreme court, because
We are in this is a mountain village, were about 30 miles east of the epicenter. And throughout this village, ali, there are houses completely destroyed and there are some like this one you can see behind me, partially collapsed, in danger of falling down. The family who lives here has spent two nights on the street, because they do not know if they can go back into that building, whether the roof is going to come down at them at any time.

Place here, theres three more, as you can see in the difference. You cant see that clearly at the moment, but you can see the stretches out there as well. Now, this has been one of the hardest areas to get to for a long time. It had to be helicopters. Weve driven it, and that took many hours. You can see the Rescue Workers are here now. These helicopters are coming in to pick up either survivors, or bodies and to take them away two major hospitals in cities that havent been so badly affected. Theyre also running from here, into the remote villages that are still completely cut off by road. Theyve done a remarkable job, at actually getting the road open as far as we are. It took a long time and it is quite scary because its quite clear the wrong could happen if there was another trump. Or it could come back down. This is another house and Apartment Block that has been completely flattened. It was here that we saw the body of that young woman i mentioned, being taken away. Theyve got in
