people on catalina island off the coast near l.a. are evacuating to long beach as officials urge visitors and residents to leave. in san bernardino county, the sheriff's department has issued an evacuation warning for parts of that area. let's go straight to derek. what can you tell us about hilary? picking up speed in slowing down? >> picking up speed. that is important because if you're just tuning in, maybe perhaps intermittently from the west coast or southern california, you may have thought, hey, maybe this is a sunday night into monday morning time frame. right now is your last few moments to do your final preparations to secure your property, that time of thing. this is more of a sunday during the daytime frame. that's when we anticipate the greatest impacts. it will last through monday morning but the greatest impact is throughout the day on sunday. 110 miles per hour winds. there is a lot that can be infederal from this satellite image. this is helping weaken the storm and the trajectory, starting to move quickly. at 17 miles an hour out of the north northwest. this means that we will see an earlier landfall. the track has shifted a little further east compared to this time yesterday. so maybe perhaps a central or northern baja peninsula before moving into california. this will affect between san diego and los angeles. let me explain why that's important. you can actually see the winds coming out of south easterly direction. this will be running basically parallel to the mountain ranges for some of these areas. and what will happen hear, as we advance this in time, as the winds change directions, it is literally going to extract all the available water out of the atmosphere. it will produce a significant amount of heavy rain. the flash flood threat cannot be overstated enough. it is just an incredible amount of rain. we have already seen presim tags values here exceeding two inches in some locations and we'll get significantly more rainfall from san bernardino county, specifically over the eastern sections of that county have quite a flash flood threat. and here's the reason why. as we zoom into this part of southern california, you'll notice that the mountains here, the transverse range into san bernardino, these mountains will work to almost like a wall. if you're pushing a sponge directly across a wall, it is going to take out all the water in the sponge and deposit it as rainfall. so the rain has to come down into the valleys and the communities below. these are some of the locations that have mandatory evacuations. mountain home village, the oak glen region. we want to monitor that area very closely. rain is already ongoing across the eastern sections of san bernardino county. but look. it's not just the southwest. it's all the way into idaho, portions of oregon, nevada, into utah. we have flash flood watches for over 25 million americans. we still have another 36 hours of the heaviest of rain to come across this area. >> jim? >> yeah. it's jarring to see you standing in front of a hurricane map of a storm heading toward california. heading toward the southwestern u.s. we've done it so many times on cnn and typically it is heading to places on the gulf coast. flat areas with no elevation. biloxi, mobile, and so on. if this is heading to the southwest, to mountainous areas in california, the flash flood warnings, please take them very seriously. they can happen very quickly and have deadly consequences. thank you very much. appreciate that. joining us now, daniel is the emergency operations manager for palm springs. daniel, it's been more than 80 years since a storm like this hit southern california. is palm springs ready for a hurricane or a tropical storm to come in? do those plans even exist? emergency management plans exist? we're not used to seeing storms like this. in part of the country. >> yeah. we're not used to tropical weather here. we are familiar with flash flooding. we're a desert community so when we get significant amounts of rain, we're used to that flooding. so we did have something in our emergency operations plan. not anything for a tropical storm, a tropical cyclone. we're as ready as we can be for three to seven inches of rain. we've been preparing since thursday. we've issued out approximately 50,000 sandbags to residents and, you know, several tons of sand just today. >> and daniel, are folks there taking this seriously? what are you hearing when you talk to folks? from talking to my friends, and even some relatives in california, you know, people tend to be quite chill about things. but this is no time for that. >> you know, jim, there is a mix. there are a lot of people taking it very seriously, but being a tourist town, we do have some people that are walking around downtown palm springs like there is not a storm coming. for the most part, our residents and some of our visitors are taking it very seriously. it has been very positive environment. neighbors have been helping neighbors. really wonderful people stepping up to help each other. >> what about desert areas? i mean, people are prepared for this kind of thing? >> all the cities in the coachella valley have been encouraging their residents to get ready for the past couple of days. and like i said, we just had some really heavy rains in january. so we're as ready as we can be. we're familiar with rain. just, we don't know quite how much is coming and we're as prepared as we can be. >> all right. best of luck to you. thank you for your time. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> please stay safe. to our other big story, we are on the couples of a highly consequential week for the nation. most notably, for donald trump. the former president and his he 18 co-defendants are facing a friday deadline to submit to the courthouse in fulton county, georgia. sources tell cnn, trump is expected to surrender on either thursday or friday. the fulton county sheriff said all 19 defendants will undergo the normal processing including mug shots and fingerprinting. joining me to talk about this and other aspect of the trump cases is democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee of texas. congresswoman, thank you very much for spending a part of your weekend with us. let me ask you this. this whole notion that trump is going to be mug shotted, fingerprinted and so on, what is that going to say to the world? what kind of message does that send to the world if we see that unfold? and it seems like we will see it unfold in a few days from now. >> thank you for having me. i think what i would say on a saturday afternoon, i wish both of us were not here discussing this topic. it is a former president of the united states. now suffering, now experiencing indictments practically all over the nation from new york to washington to georgia. what the world will see is something that they have never seen in current history of an american president. american presidents are held in high esteem. we may disagree with them politically. they run as republicans and democrats but the office itself has been held in the highest esteem. we now have an individual who has been indicted in new york for charges of rape, sexual issues if you will against a woman, or convicted if ulna civil case, not convicted but held guilty in a civil case, held liable, and we have cases still pending in new york and washington and now georgia. this is a state case. and no federal law or protection that the president needs, and he does have his protection, will, i assume, stop him from going through normal process any criminal defendant will go through in the state of georgia. i will say, i am saddened to be here discussing this because what it does to the presidency of the united states, and frankly, as someone who was physically in the chamber on january 6th, 2021, saw the fear, saw the guns, heard the gunshot, saw the banging and screaming on the doors to get into the chamber. i am more stunned that day did happen and that there couldn't be another respectful way that the former president could have expressed his opposition or his questions about the election. there have been questions about the elections from the time i was elected in the late 19 nays. it was handled in a way that followed the process of this government under the constitution. he did not. >> and congresswoman, let me ask you this. trump is shrugging off warnings and continues to mock and insult the judges in his cases. a texas woman was charged with threatening to kill the federal judge overseeing trump's election case in washington, d.c. i know you're aware of that. the court documents show the same woman threatened to kill you, congresswoman. what was your reaction to that? what do you think about what took place there? >> well, it is obviously chilling. we are public servants. i have a great respect for the three branches of government. the legislature, the executive, and the judiciary. we've always felt special in this country because the judiciary has been an independent judiciary for the federal government. which judge chutkan is a part of, appointed for life. and then we do that so they can not be subject to commentary. i've never seen this as a senior member of the house judiciary committee who has been involved in impeachments of judges. i have never seen this kind of outside attack. the former president called her biased and unfair and gave the inference that she would not be handling his case of four counts of conspiracy under the special counsel fairly. and what does that do? whether someone is sitting on their couch drinking or however they might be motivated, or others might be motivated, they've been given a signal that she is wrong and she is not right. i wish for her the best security, the safest way of moving around so that she can do her job, and she has to do her job without comment and she has indicated to the lawyers of mr. trump that he is going to be limited in receiving information or information that he might be able to comment on. and that's appropriate. as it relates to those of us in public office, i would say it's chilling for your family. it is chilling for your family. i thank law enforcement who has really paid attention to this. even though this individual may have certain issues, we don't know who else is thinking about it. the temperature needs to be brought down and the former president needs to be actively engaged in stopping the hysteria and egging people on, provoking them to do things that are against the constitution and the order of this nation. law and order has to prevail. not only for us but for them. >> which brings me to the question as to what can be done about the former president. it seems as though the judges are going to be very reluctant to toss him into jail as punishment for overstepping and crossing the line and issuing veiled threats and sometimes in your face threats. what can be done? or does the whole country have to go along with it and folks like you have to be occasionally subjected to this when you're lumped in with judges and that sort of thing. >> isn't that an interesting question? isn't that a question that none of us expected to be answering in 2023, in the 21st century, when we've been a democracy for certainly 200 years plus. and we've been a democracy that the world has admired. now we have a situation where the have laws restrain us. he has first amendment rights. in law school we're always taught you cannot cry fire in a crowded theater. we have people who are very tense, people who are loyal without question to his movement, and his words. we have a did not just situation where we have a president who is attacking presidents, meaning president biden who is attacking every judge that has his case before them. here's what i would say. i asked the question over and over again. the republican party, his colleagues need to be able to assess whether they are patriots and citizens of the united states with allegiance to the constitution, or whether or not they have a single allegiance to this individual. cities have a right to be safe, the states have a right to be safe, the people in them have a rate to be safe. if this provocation continues, judges that are sworn to oath to preside over trials fairly, and i imagine they all do, i may disagree with them but i imagine they all do. then it is important for the republican party to be as keenly respectful for the three branches of government as i am. and they should be the ones to quell, to quash his behavior, to silence him. he's a defendant in some and others are civil matters. so it is important for them to speak up and i'm waiting for them to do so. otherwise, i think it is appropriate that the judge be fair, be appropriate as she is, and she will have to handle the case where his lawyers will be limited in what they can publicly comment on and i would imagine it should be anyone who provides a suggestion that she maybe attacked in her duties. or anyone else might be attacked. where is the voice of my friends in the republican party? where is the leadership in the senate and the house? >> all right. thank you very much for your time. we really appreciate it. >> good to be with you. thank you. in the meantime, the fbi is looking for a missing member of the proud boys just days before he was due to be sentenced over the january 6th insurrection. christopher was convicted of seven charges relate to his actions that day. he was under house arrest in florida but the fbi has put out a wanted poster. his attorneys have thus far declined to comment. still ahead, more than 1,000 people missing. what to expect when president biden arrives there on monday. >> plus a devastating attack from russia on ukraine. a 6-year-old girl among dead killed in a missile strike. we'll show her face to you. coming up. however you see fit. rosie used part of her refund to build an n outdoor patio. clink! dr. marshall used part of h his refund to give his practice a facelift. emily used part of her refund to buy... i run a wax museum. let innovation refunds help you get started on your erc tax refund. stop waiting. go to innovationrefunds.com you really got the brows. you're watching football wrong! what do you call a guy in face paint that can't get the game?

[ inaudible ]. >> these are some of the storm preparations taking place in southern california right now. you're watching video of authorities taking flight in helicopters, warning people over loud speakers, if they're living in tents, on the streets. they need to take shelter. this storm could be very dangerous for them. >> reporter: absolutely. there was actually a question at the san diego press conference. a lot of entities have been doing the same thing. people asking about those who are currently refusing shelter. so there's concern for them. so that work is ongoing. we did hear that there were agencies starting to do that as early as yesterday. >> all right. stay safe out there. thanks for the update. in the meantime, we do have an update on jimmy carter's health from his grandson. he says, quote, it's clear we're in the final chapter, end quote. the 98-year-old former president has been on hospice care since february and his wife rosalyn has dementia. he said there's always someone at the house to keep them company and the two are still holding hands. a very touching anecdote. jimmy and rows lynn have been mattered 77 years. we've not yet gotten a response. an update on the carter family from their grandson. on monday president biden heads the hawaii to see the devastation first hand. what we're learning about the devastation and the criticism. baby, only on game nights. you know you are retired right? am i? yaya! save 50% on the sleep number limited editition smart bed. plus, free home delivery whenen you add a base. shop now only at sleep number. i see irritated gums and weak enamel. sensodyne sensitivity gum & enamel relieves sensitivity, helps restore gum heth, and rehardens enamel. i'm a big advocate of recommending things that i know work. when migraine strikes, you're faced with a choice. ride it out with the tradeoffs of treating? or push through the pain and symptoms? with ubrelvy, there's another option. one dose works fast to eliminate migraine pain. treat it anytime, anywhere without worrying where you are or if it's too late. do not take with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. allergic reactions to ubrelvy can happen. most common side effects were nausea and sleepiness. migraine pain relief starts with u. ask about ubrelvy. learn how abbvie could help you save. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health. yaaay! woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪ businesses need 5g solutions today. that's why they choose t-mobile for business. mlb partners with t-mobile to not only enhance the fan experience, but to advance how the game is played. aaa relies on t-mobile's network to stay connected nationwide, so they can help get their members back on the road. and we're helping pano ai innovate, to stop the spread of wildfires. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network can do for your business.

>> to be honest, unhinged, terrifying. he's a very unusual man. you spent a lot of time with him as well. he has one singular ideology which is donald trump, right? nothing else matters. he looks sideways when he was saying some of the controversial things he's saying. he's looking at one of his assistants. but they're all terrified of him. so it is a really strange dynamic. wasn't a almost toward the president. it was sheer fear. it was just really unusual. seeing him at mar-a-lago and bedminster, he is a very dangerous person that needs constant adoration from all the people around him. >> that is chilling, the way you described it. i'm sure we'll have you back to talk about this further. great to talk to you as always. and that material always come in handy. really appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> we'll be right back. ♪ chevy silverado has what it takes to do o it all. with up to 13 camera views. and the z71 off-road package. ♪ you ok?

>> well, you know, i've spent four years trying to get to the heart of that question. my educated theories are many. greed, access to power, need to maintain relevance, all the above. perhaps, you know, an alcohol problem. it's a combination of things that made him what he is today. and i have trouble reconciling the man that i worked for as, you know, as mayor on this campaign with the man he's become today. it's very hard. i hope people can get some answers out of our documentary. >> and ken, the latest story about, you know, how he's been asking trump to help pay his legal bills. it sounds like he's in dire straits financially. what a total collapse of a human being we're witnessing here, it seems. >> yeah. it's true. it's absolutely true. he had a very expensive divorce. he has very expensive legal bills. and expenses, and no one is hiring him to be a lawyer. his law licenses have been suspended and are in jeopardy. how do you make a living? making $300 cameos? it's not enough. >> yeah. and i mean, what ultimately do you think will be giuliani's fate here? is he the kind of person who would flip on trump? >> i don't think anyone goes to jail for someone else except maybe michael cohen and allen weisselberg. trump probably made it worth their while to do those short prison sentences. rudy giuliani will not go to jail for donald trump. but he'll be in court for the rest of his life, as will rudy -- as will trump, excuse me. >> no question about it. great to talk to you as always. thank you. so. really appreciate it. don't miss the cnn original series. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com [dramatic music] - overer the next ten days, we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent. and if we're wrong, we will be made fools of.
