what do you think is driving that? >> i think a combination of over proliferation of guns in our country. the real mental health illnesses we are seeing. and just social media. i have been stating this over and over. we had a summit in new york to see the impact of social media on our young people but even adults and those threats. you have to really commend the fbi for taking the threats seriously and carrying out a proper investigation. >> are you more nervous to be a publicly elected official today? >> you are always concerned. i have a great detail. nypd, they know their job very well. we allow them to handle it and do what they say to do and we continue to look at instructions from our intel division when we get those threats. they assess them well and make sure things are done properly. >> new york city is dealing with an unprecedented influx of tens of thousands of people seeking asylum. you say it is going to cost about $12 billion to care for them the next three years and said you need federal help. do you think you are going to get it? >> yes, i do. i believe we have dhs team on the ground here now and there is something that our team, deputy mayors and deputy mayor in charge of this initiative. we have been walking through, business leaders walking through, a congressional delegation, to see exactly what is taking place. we were successful to keep this from spilling on to our streets for over a year. what you saw in front of the roosevelt hotel was that it was just overwhelmed and the dam finally burst. >> what you are referencing for people who don't know is just recently the system clearly broke down. 200 migrants were sleeping outside on the sidewalk of the roosevelt hotel just around the corner from grand central station. who was responsible for that image, seeing those people sleeping on the sidewalks? >> i am the mayor of the city of new york. i take responsibility for anything that happens in this city. it is my obligation to make sure that new yorkers are safe. we received an overwhelming number of individuals and already reached the maximum of how many people we could house and for that period of time could not place people in the roosevelt hotel. we still have to abide by restrictions for occupancy, for safety. we were able to find them temporary shelter in another location. we cannot state this won't happen again. we received over 90,000 people in our city and i have stated for sometime we need help. this is a national crisis and should be handled by national resources and policies. >> what do you say to white house officials who see your calls for federal help. yes they are the dhs team and going to report back to secretary mayorkas. the white house is saying new york already has gotten money from the federal government, more than any other city that is not a border city. what do you say when they say you are getting more help than other places. >> you started off the broadcast, the number is $12 billion over three years. we already spent over a billion dollars already. and to state that a hundred million dollars could address a national $12 billion problem, we're saying we need more and we need others. we need a strategy at the border. we need to allow these migrants, asylum seekers to do what i believe is the most american thing to do and that is to work. what is more anti-american than not being able to work? >> has the white house responded when you say you want them to speed up work permits for them to be able to begin work sng which are already shorter than other periods. has the white house said anything to you on that? >> there is such a backlog of cases that the spirit, the energy that within six months people would be able to get a job is not a reality. some will probably have to wait from a year to a year and a half. that is a long time for new yorkers to have to carry this burden. that is part of the ongoing conversation we're having with the white house right now. that is the hope we have with the dhs team here and my congressional delegation and other elected officials, i take my hat off to the governor of massachusetts who also stated the same thing. there must be a real strategy to deal with the crisis. >> you are asking the federal government to declare a state of emergency. so far they have not done so. what is your relationship with president biden at this moment? >> i think i have a great relationship with the president and with my colleagues across the country. we have to separate a disagreement on a topic with do we have a relationship. there are many issues we're facing not only in this city but this country. if there is a place i disagree i am going to be honest about it. >> we certainly have seen that. have you spoken to him about these specific asks that you have? >> yes we have. >> when was the last time you guys talked? >> last year when he was here. i spoke with the white house staff and teams and we sent three of the mayors from houston, los angeles, we sent them to sit down and we want to speak with the president on this. >> you haven't spoken to him in 2023 frmth no i have not. i spoke with authorities and our team has been communicating with the white house as well. >> do you support his re-election bid? >> yes i did. i made that clear before. i believe he is moving the country in the right direction and we need to continue to move in the right direction. i can separate what i believe an issue we disagree on how we are addressing it with what i believe over all is needed for this country. my number one obligation is the people in the city of new york. >> speaking of campaigns in early july the manhattan district attorney indicted six people including a former new york police department officer in this straw donor scheme that sent donations to your campaign for mayor in 2021. neither you nor anyone in your campaign has been accused of wrongdoing i should note but were you aware of any of that or what is your response to those charges? >> no, not aware at all. i follow one rule. follow the rules. the district attorney is conducting his investigation. it was clear that our campaign had no participation in that and it is just an unfortunate situation. i have a lot of faith in the da's office, da brag. he is going to follow this to conclusion. >> you are not worried anyone from your team would be ensnared or have legal -- >> i think they laid out exactly what happened than thorough investigation made a determination that our team had nothing to do with it. >> okay. it has been a challenging summer here in new york. i mean, not only what is happening with migrants. the situation at rikers jail has gotten so bad federal authorities are considering taking it over. i know you disagree and don't believe that is necessary. there is also a law enforcement investigation into a former member of your administration. when you look at the big picture of all of the problems new york city is facing do you feel that you and your administration can adequately handle those issues? >> you tell me when was a time you didn't have a lot going on in new york. >> that is true. your predecessors will say they had a lot on their plate as well. you are dealing with a lot this summer. just from the last few months >> i want it. winners want the ball when the game is on the line. they don't pass the ball. they want the last shot, the last at bat. they want to kick the field goal. look at the reality. 99% of the jobs we lost back prednd, decrease in crime, shootings, homicides. we are seeing tourism is up. we have a double-a bond rating in the city of new york. this is the place to be right now. i didn't run for mayor to worry about woe is me. i said i want to be mayor. why not me? >> is it more challenging than you thought? >> not at all. you get up every day. you do the best you can. you give it your all. new yorkers know one thing about me. i'm up before everyone else and i go to bed after everyone else to make sure the city is operating right. this is the right time for me to be the mayor. with my experience in law enforcement, state senator, and not only that a mayor who has gone through a lot can help people who are going through a lot. i want to be mayor of tnew york. >> i want to ask youbo this bizarre story about a photo you carry in your wallet and you have sken very publicly it is of officer robert venable killed in the line of duty in 1987 and you pulled it out after two other officers were killed talking about how meaningful it was. the "new york times" did a report saying the photo had been recreated, not actually carried in your wallet for decades. it was created by staff in your office. your office denied the story and said it had been in your wallet for decades. can you clear that up? >> i have the original newsletter produced by the department of the original. the original. so why would i have to reproduce something that i had the original for? the family knew me. robert was a dear friend. there was a lot of anger attached to that story that allowed a lot of discipline. there isn't much i can do about that. i can't control what people write. no one was instructed by me to do anything with an original photo i had and carried of my friend. this was a dear friend of mine. it was a very painful moment to have it not only recreated but to state i would do something like that to someone that i was that close to. >> so you are saying just, they said the picture was found on google, printed in black and white, and made to look worn. that someone splashed coffee on it. you are saying none of that is true. >> i say i have the original. the one on google that they're talking about i have the original. i don't know how clearer i can be. the family was also saying we know eric adams. eric has been with our family. >> his daughter january came out and spoke about that after. >> and his other relatives as well. >> mayor eric adams, thank you for being here tonight and answering our questions and of course if you do hear from president biden on what is the biggest issue you're facing right now please let us know. >> will do. >> thank you for joining us in studio tonight. ahead, much more on what we were just talking about there at the beginning o the fbi raid where a man allegedly threatening the president shot and killed in the early hours in utah this morning and wildfires are burning out of control in hawaii. at least six people have been killed. the national guard has been deployed. thousands of people are evacuating. we'll speak to someone still on the ground tonight. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ wherever you go. wherever you stay. all you need is one key. earn and use rewards across expedia, hotels.com, and vrbo. tonight we are learning chilling new details about a deadly confrontation between a man accused of threatening to assassinate president biden and fbi agents who showed up at his utah home before dawn. law enforcement officials say craig robertson was armed to the teeth and facing federal charges for threats not only against the president but also several other prominent democrats, the fbi, prosecutors, who have brought cases against former president trump. all of this happened this morning and the big questions now, what happened when agents moved in to arrest the suspect? and how do the feds tell the difference between bluster and what is a deadly serious to terror threat? let's get answers from cnn's senior crime and justice correspondent and cnn's national security analyst. thank you both for being here. these kinds -- the fbi killing someone is incredibly rare. walk us through what happened. >> they prepare for this and it is very clear they did prepare for this really heavily because they were expecting perhaps to meet some kind of resistance. this really all begins several months ago but heats up on monday when the individual craig robertson posts on facebook that the president is coming to utah and that it is time for him to take action and talks about his weapon, talks about what he is going to wear. what happens is the fbi says okay we need to go in and take him down. this is a threat. the president is coming here. he is talking about killing the president. they go into really full action. they devise a plan, they go in. they put the plan together. and then early this morning, you know, while they're suiting up, putting on all of their gear, getting ready to go after him the president is planning his trip to utah, they go in. it's dark out early in the morning, 6:00 a.m. essentially to take him off the street. then there is a confrontation with the fbi. they come to the house. they have a conversation with him. something happens. i'm told he pulled out a handgun and that is when the fbi shot and killed him >> he had been making threats against not just president biden but several other officials as well. he referreto one of his guns i read in the complaint a democrat eradicator. it wasn't just the post recent days. he has been making these for months. >> for months. the fbi gets alerted to him back in march because he is posting messages about killing alvin bragg the manhattan da who is prosecuting donald trump. clearly, he is a trump supporter. the fbi knows this. they go to his house. they talk to him. basically saying we're on to you. what are you doing? what's going on? they want to make sure he is not coming to new york to take action. there is no evidence he ever comes here but they were so worried they went there. then what he does is he continues to post facebook messages threatening the fbi agents who came to him. threatening others. continuing to threaten the president. he also made threats toward the vice president, the governor of california, gavin newsom, the attorney general, so this has been going on for months and months. what changes everything is he makes this post about killing the president while he is in utah. so that changed everything. >> just hours before biden was going to be briefed there, to arrive there. as we're talking about how this is happening, that president biden is set to arrive there, you know, thiss the post referenced, he said i hear biden is coming to utah. gigging out my old ghillie suit and cleaning the dust off my m-24 sniper rifle. people say crazy things online all the time. what is the threshold for when the fbi goes and conducts a raid as they were planning to do this morning? >> first, they will probably learn more of some of this investigation and it may, some of this in the affidavit may not be everything they know. what we know at this stage is that what he was saying was scary enough for a social media platform, we don't know if it was facebook, but facebook is mentioned a lot. he also used true social a lot. notifies the fall terrorism operation center. this is an fbi entity that is being fed a lot of this stuff, getting online and trying to make a determination between what is just hate, just people blowing off steam, and what is real? basically they are going to focus on methods, means, and motives. in this case he had all three, being performative online. he is directing statements to the fbi. i know you're watching. i know biden is here. he has the motive and the means. they also know he is highly armed and those three things would then trigger something much more than someone posting online that they don't like biden or the vice president. >> they had been there in march. he saw them. he told them don't come back without a warrant. what is hard to ignore here is the backdrop of the climate we are living in, which is this political polarization. trump has been indicted three times and railed against the people handling those indictments every single day almost. what is the correlation in what this looks like now and if there is an uptick in violence and violent threats like this? >> well, absolutely. chris wray the fbi director has said he has never seen a threat environment like this heading into the election especially targeted against people running and targeted against democrats in particular when we see the online chatter. even though there are attacks against republicans. we're looking at quantity at this stage. and so people think about incitement like the former president trump might say something and people go off and do stuff. it is a little bit more complicated than that. how i describe what trump is doing in some of his language and some of the language we are hearing from other candidates now is they're creating a permissive structure. they are creating permission to utilize violence as an extension of just our political debate. they are normalizing it, winking at it, nodding at it. there is essentially, you know, serving as a magnet for it. that is why it has to be condemned from the top, from the leadership within the gop as well, and essentially make the price of this conduct a sufficiently high price that people will not do it. so it is the arrests we're seeing, the investigations, and the deplatforming of particular individuals. all of those things make the price high for people who are going to legitimize violence, not thoughts, not words. violence. as a means to -- as part of our democratic process. we have to get rid of that permissive structure and that is coming from someone who is likely to be the nominee for the gop. >> thank you both. horrific, apocalyptic scenes. one of the most beautiful places of the world but rescue teams are now racing to save lives there from raging wildfires in maurie. several people have been confirmed dead. we are live on the ground with the very latest next. #1 isn't a status earned overnight. it's earned in every wash, and re-earned every day. tide. america's #1 dergent. i see irritated gums and weak enamel. sensodyne sensitivity gum & enamel relieves sensitivity, helps restore gum health, and rehardens enamel. i'm a big advocate of recommending things that i know work.

there are major transportation issues. the lieutenant governor has said that. you talked about the roads being blocked. what is a family supposed to do in that situation when it is difficult to call 911, difficult to leave your home. you are obviously staying up all night to see if you can see a fire. >> there is nothing you can do. the water was off. we were in a -- yeah. i did not -- when the winds started, we didn't see this happening. it was a perfect storm because it was the drought we've been having for days. it was this hurricane winds and then the -- i think the downed electric lines really are what started it here. and it just ignited the entire island. as you've seen in footage front street burned completely. you know, those were 200-year-old buildings all made out of wood and blocks and blocks of restaurants and stores all gone. i have many friends who have lost their homes. the island has been decimated. the we've never seen anything like this >> i mean, you said you lived there 20 years. we are thinking of you and your friends of course who have also lost their homes. please stay safe. thank you for joining us tonight to talk to us about what this has been like. >> thank you. appreciate it. also here the special counsel has now gotten access to one of donald trump's really most prized possessions, his twitter accounts. did jack smith find evidence of a crime? why did he want access to trump's twitter? we'll talk about it next. i got into debt in college, and no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere. so i consolidated it into a low-rate personal loan from sofi. get a personal loan with low low fixed rates, and borrow up to $100k. sofi get your money right. wake up, achievers. you're making the most of every hour of your life. except the hours that you're sleeping. so why do we leave so much untapped potential on the table?

>> there is a boring explanation and a couple more exciting possibilities. >> we want the exciting ones. >> the boring explanation is it is not uncommon for prosecutors around the country to send search warrants to social media companies for public content just so they can have a good, strong chain of custody that they can prove in court this was something that was said. the things president trump tweeted on january 6 have been widely reported on in the media, screen shotted and such. what the prosecutor wants is the ability to pull up a witness from twitter who could say these tweets came from this device oot this exact time. that includes the three that were deleted. one of the key things that happened here is when president trump's account was reinstated by mr. musk after his takeover of twitter the tweets most inflammatory on january 6 did not exist so part might be going into twitter's data base to get evidence of the tweets and prove it was president trump himself that sent it. i think it is another complication about the account is it is widely believed that over time many different people have had access to the real donald trump account because you'll see things obviously written by president trump and things that seem to be written by aides or campaign workers and so what they'll want is the data that only twitter has. that proves this tweet was written on this phone at this time on this location which would be strong evidence it was president trump himself that typed it out. >> those tweets that immediately come to mind are will be wild on january 6 when he was tweeting pence didn't have the courage. but could this data also shed light on tweets that maybe weren't sent, ones that were drafted and not actually sent? i don't know if he ever direct messaged people on twitter but that is an option as well. >> right. those are things the prosecutor's warrant could get. there could be drafts of tweets he wrote and did not send. things he wrote and deleted right before or are still in his draft folder. there is also the possibility of the direct messages. although it is pretty widely reported that president trump didn't use the dms too often. i don't see that as likely. i expect this is mostly about being able to prove it was president trump himself and not one of the many people who at some point had access to his account that sent those tweets that are of interest to the special counsel. >> until today this was secret. trump or his legal team found out about it over the summer. twitter was fined $350,000 because they didn't comply with this immediately. they didn't meet the deadline. they were arguing basically that they should be able to inform trump and his legal team about it because they believed not doing so violated the first amendment. is that pretty standard for a company like twitter to take that route? >> yes. a couple things going on. first the gag order attached to the warrant which turns out to be a pretty common practice by prosecutors that they do not want the subjects of investigation to know they're under investigation. it has been a very controversial practice. because what's happened over the years is the case law has developed that the only person who can really challenge a search warrant is the person who is targeted themselves not the companies but if the target doesn't know they can't fight it. there is a long history of tech companies fighting in court to say we want to drop this gag order so we can give the person a fair chance of fighting the search warrant. in fact when i was at facebook that happened multiple times. i got involved in multiple cases where we made the argument in cases we thought the gag order was not necessary. the second thing that is going on is kind of the overally dehere is special counsel wants to maintain the integrity of the data possibly including the integrity of data on president trump's phone. i think that is one of the interesting questions that has not been asked is does this indicate a broader search of devices? are there other search warrants we don't know about yet that would go with this? . that would be a normal part of a prosecution for this kind of electronic evidence. you would be looking in the cloud because they'd have other pieces of data not available to twitter. as for the fine twitter did fight this but also had mess ups. if you look at the appellate record for which the search warrant came out the first time they tried to upload the warrant to ask twitter, twitter's law enforcement portal just broke. so partially the story here is just that through all of the lay-offs and firings and the getting rid of skilled, talented people at twitter, mr. musk has broken basic functionality such as having the ability to handle search warrants. >> there are so many different threads in this entire thing it is amazing. thank you for joining to break it all down. >> thanks, kaitlan. voters dropping the hammer on the gop saying don't mess with abortion rights or their political power. that was the message we talked about last night sent loud and clear in ohio. next we'll turn to the governor of the next state that could be at the front of the fight. america's newest battleground state, arizona katie hobbs will join us. different how?

>> absolutely. arizonans are energized over this issue as we've seen across the country. and they're energized to get this measure to the ballot then have a chance to have their say on it in november. i'm confident that they will vote for the constitutional right to an abortion. >> of course, we've seen that happen in several states. it's mobilizing voters in a way that certainly republicans were not expecting. i think the question is, if this does get on the ballot in arizona, do you think it could mobilize democrats in your state who maybe aren't as enthusiastic about voting for president biden but would go to the polls to vote for this measure? >> well, we certainly saw it play out that way in the last election in '22. and that energy and momentum is continuing for sure. we are under uncertain legal status when it comes to abortion. we're just one bad court decision away from a total ban that carries prison time for doctors. and vast majority of arizonans support the ability to make health care decisions free from the interference of governance. >> arizona bans most abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. the proposed language in this measure would guarantee the right to abortion up to fetal viability, which is essentially 22 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. do you personally back that timeline? >> well, again, i think these are decisions best left to health care professionals and their patients. and i support people's ability to make their own personal health care decisions without the interference of politicians. >> but i think the question on the other side of this would be, is there any point in a pregnancy where you do believe that abortion should be restricted? >> well, the language in this ballot measure protects that right up to viability. determined by a health care professional, professionals. there is an exception further down the line when the life of the woman is at risk. and i certainly support that exception. >> but if a bill was brought to your desk, now that you are governor, and there were restrictions, what is the number of weeks that you would personally support, that you would personally back? >> i have continued to say i support the language that leaves the viability determination to health care professionals. >> so you do support the language in the measure, which is fetal viability, 22 to 24 weeks. one other thing, you were running for governor, running against kari lake. there's reporting that she is preparing to launch another run to represent arizona. this would be for the senate. she still has not conceded to you the other election that you won. what do you make of her trying to represent your state again? >>i think it would mean she would have to admit she's not actually the governor. if she chose to launch a senate bid. i think arizonans are tired of her continue d election denialim and conspiracy theories. they'll have their say next november. >> what did you make of the role your state played in the broader scheme that we're seeing, the fake electors scheme, when it comes to former president trump and his indictment that came last week? >> well, i was in the middle of a lot of that as the secretary of state. and i certainly, you know -- arizona played a central role. i was focused on my role in defending the will of the voters against these attacks. i'm glad we're starting to see accountability for bad act hoarse tried to overturn the will of the voters. >> did jack smither ever reach out to you on anything?
