end with a possible threesome. >> sorry to the people who are watching this morning. >> i didn't know what was happening. the next hour of cnn this morning starts right now. good morning. welcome to cnn this morning. it is sunday, august 20th. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm amaral walker. thank you for spending part of your morning with us. we're keeping a close eye on hurricane hilary right now as it closes in on the southwestern u.s. >> this is a very, very dangerous and significant storm. >> people there are filling up sandbags as forecasters warn of catastrophic flooding and officials are telling people to stay inside. allison chinchar is standing by with the timing and ill pact we'll see from the storm. republican presidential candidates are sharpening attacks ahead of this week's gop debate. who we will see on stage and their message to voters ahead of the debate. president biden is heading to hawaii tomorrow to see the damage firsthand left by the maui wildfires. it's not just a trophy on the line. how today's world cup final will be history making no matter who wins. >> hurricane hilary is heading towards landfall this morning in mexico and southern california. the weakened but still category 1 storm is bringing 80-mile-per-hour winds along with it. right now it's about 285 miles south of san diego. >> the outer bands of the storm is already lashing southern california. the storm is expected to weaken again before coming ashore. still officials are warning it could cause catastrophic and life-threatening floods. >> please, please listen to emergency personnel, local officials, take seriously to floods, flash floods, lightning, possibility of tornados. stay safe. >> some spots could get up to 10 inches of rain. that has people in flood-prone areas taking all the necessary precautions. you can see sandbag stations have been set up for residents to help fortify their homes. >> for unhoused residents, this storm is even more dangerous. the l.a. county sheriff's office flew over several homeless encampments on saturday to warn people to get to higher ground. the company has opened at least four rec centers as shelters this morning. along the coast, hilary could create large swells, dangerous rip currents as well. all state beaches in orange and san diego counties have been closed. even the u.s. navy has moved ships and submarines until the storm passes. president biden has been briefed on the potential impacts of the storm. cnn white house reporter priscilla alvarez is joining us from washington, d.c. good morning, priscilla. we know fema officials held a call yesterday ahead of the storm. how are they preparing? >> well, they're mobilizing personnel and resources to the areas that could be potentially impacted. they have also embedded federal personnel with the california office of emergency services. a lot of what they're doing right now is president biden, to help now and help on the back end of this when we start to see the impacts of this hurricane. as you mentioned, president biden is being regularly briefed on this by the fema administrator and his officials as he also heads to hawaii tomorrow to see the devastation of the wildfires there. importantly, the fema administrator said that no resources will have to be pulled from hawaii to respond to hurricane hilary which, as you mentioned, is barreling towards southern california. right now a lot of the focus is mobilization and in the interim the president is being briefed on the preparedness plans. we should also note this is just another extreme weather potential disaster that fema is contending with. they've already had a record-breaking year that has almost depleted their funds. in fact, those funds may run dry by the end of the month. the white house is asking congress for billions of dollars in additional funding. all of this underscores the very difficult position that fema is in and the administration as they try to respond to these different disaster. >> priscilla alvarez, thank you. let's take a closer look now at the path of this storm and who is most at risk. cnn meteorologist allison chinchar is in the weather center. what are we seeing right now? >> we got the latest update in at the top of the hour from the national hurricane center. weekenning, down to 80 miles per hour. the forward speed still at 21 miles per hour. it's going to start to likely make landfall likely in the northern baja, california, region in the next few hours and then cross into california as we head later on into this afternoon. again, it's going to continue to weaken because it's still going to slide into some of those cooler waters. we do anticipate it weakens down into a tropical storm before it moves into portions of california. you've got high wind warnings in the red color and wind advis advisories where you see the orange shaded color. the biggest concern by far is the rainfall. you're seeing the moisture surge into california, nevada, arizona and other states. the heavier rain will start to push in by this afternoon and especially into the evening hours. we've already had two separate rainfall records broken already, one for las vegas, the other for bishop, california. those were for yesterday, but likely going to see more communities begin to have record-breaking rain as we start to get those heavier bands pushing back in. rainfall totals likely 2-4 inches. some areas will pick up 6, 8, even 10 inches of rain before all this pushing out on monday. here is a look at the timeline. by this afternoon you'll notice more of the yellows and the oranges on the radar indicating the heavier rainfall. then it will spread into nevada and other areas. by the time we get to late monday, that's when you'll finally start to see a lot of the moisture retreating from portions of southern california, areas of arizona and starting to move into a lot of the northern states. we'll have a tight break down of exactly what to expect with a lot of this rainfall and any other concerns going forward coming up in about 20 minutes. >> allison chinchar, thank you so much. you can stay on top of all the developments at cnn.com/stormtracker. jiem lee khayyam is the former assistant secretary of the department of homeland security. fema is a part of hhs. she's also the author of "learning to live in the age of disasters." orange county, san diego county, those people don't know anything about hurricanes, tropical storms, how much does that exacerbate or increase the risk of the danger of what's coming? >> a lot. i am from this area. i can't say i ever had heard of a hurricane. i'm from los angeles. the challenge, as you note, is actually twofold. one is that the population is simply not acclimated this to kind of rain, this kind of wind, the kind of hurricanes that you see in atlanta or in the gulf coast. populations can get used to climate disasters in the sense they know what to do, they have provisions, they know how to listen to emergency managers. they know what an evacuation is like. you simply don't have that in los angeles or the surrounding areas. the second challenge with these climate disasters that are so new is emergency responders cannot measure, have no history for what the impact will be. so they're just, as you were just reporting, pre positioning a lot of materials and assets that will help when the destruction comes. but because these are all such historical events, we have no history to figure out, okay, these areas are more likely to be damaged and these are not. as you know, these climate disasters are common now, but they are so unique that we just can't measure impacts very well. >> you make a good point. it's not just the population, but those who will have to respond. there are places i travel as a correspondent, the carolinas, to florida, you call the same people season after season, you know where they will be, they know what to do. if you go to where this storm is going, this is the first for likely all of them since a tropical storm hasn't hit in 84 years or so. so what is being put into place ahead of landfall? what will they be pre positioning? >> so the first, honestly, is communication. that's the most important thing in any disaster. i think los angeles, the state and fema have been very aggressive in getting information out to residents. we don't care what the number is when it hits shore, because we're seeing hilary is losing some steam. the surge impact is going to be like nothing you've ever seen before. the easy thing here is that though catalina, some islands -- an island like catalina is being evacuated. all people need to do is stay put. that's all you need to do. if you can't, for example, those without homes, trying to get them to shelter at this stage. that's the most important thing is telling people what to do once we know what the damage will be like. on the pre positioning of assets, that's basically the city, the state and the federal government being ready to essentially save people. this is your biggest challenge, that people might be isolated, might be unable -- there might be flooding so they have to evacuate their homes. that's going to take a lot of communication in terms of where are those populations that need to be saved immediately versus those that are inconvenienced, they have to stay inside, maybe get a little water, that's going to be the challenge in terms of where to deploy resources. california, los angeles, have very, very sophisticated emergency management officeses. they know what to do. this is just a unique moment for them, and so they're just -- they're getting ready, and hopefully people won't let their guard down simply because hilary is losing steam. >> juliet, 1r5 weather-related disasters have exceeded $1 billion in damage. that's a record for the first seven months. that doesn't even count what we're watching in maui that the government will have to respond to. fema, the disaster fund is running out of money. there's a congressional fight over funding. the senate majority leader says that replenishing those funds will be job one once everyone returns after this break. what is the greater threat? if we go into the peak of hurricane season and there is this concern about money for disaster relief? >> so, i'll be honest with you -- the history of this, the money always comes because the politics of this sort of demand the money. i think mcconnell is right, that fema will be replenished. we have to keep the pressure on. i think the challenge as we enter hurricane season which has been upgraded to a more violent season than originally thought is exhaustion, is populations just exhausted by this. we saw this with maria with first responders. by the third hurricane, resources are spent. i study disasters, as you know. this is not sustainable. in other words, whatever you think the reason is for these changes, climate change as i do. forget the politics. you can call it whatever you want. this is not sustainable as a nation to have this many billion-dollar disasters. one after the other, harming citizens and populations and then just thinking, well, we can write a check and get back to normal. we have to take a much more holistic view about how we're building, where we're building, communities that we're putting at risk because this is going to continue to happen, and our measure of success is going to be -- less bad is my standard. can you make things less bad by protects populations in a world where we're seeing these things. >> that's part of the infrastructure legislation, how do you build for communities to be more resilient and to prevent some of what we've seen over the last seven months or so. juliette kayyem, thank you. coming up, president trump is expected to surrender this week on his fourth criminal indictment. some legal experts are arguing he's already disqualified from re-election even without a conviction. more than a thousand people are still missing as crews search the devastation from the hawaii wildfires. the latest on the search as president biden prepares to tour the damage. and experimental technology that could be a life-changer for stroke sur virus. we'll tell you how it's helping recovering victims regain their independence. and we could see exactly when they'd arrive with a replacement we could trust. that's service thehe way we want it. >> singers: ♪ safelite rerepai, safelite replace. ♪ okay everyone, our mission i is complete balanced nutrition. together we provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health. yaaay! woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and mineral and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪ mlb chooses t-mobile for business for 5g solutions... ...to not only enhance the fan experience, but to advance how the game is played. now's the time to see what america's largest 5g network can do for your business. ♪ ♪ wake up, gotta go! c'mon, c'mon. -gracie, c'mon. let's go! guys, c'mon! mom, c'mon! mia!

legal troubles. cnn's eva mckend reports. >> reporter: conservative activists from across the region had the opportunity to hear from a number of 2024 republican hopefulses. on this final day they heard from vivek ramaswamy and chris christie. ramaswamy focuses his remarks on raling against corporate diversity efforts as well as talking about the importance of restoring patriotism in this country. for his part, christie talking about school choice, public safety and strengthening america's foreign policy. trump not a focus of this event. erick erickson who put this on did not invite trump and was very deliberate in not asking the candidates in these 45-minute wide-ranging interviews for the most part about trump. still, after christie left the stage, he addressed reporters and attacked trump for skipping out on next week's first republican debate. >> there's no other conclusion to come to, that he's both afraid of me and afraid of defending his record. if i had his record, i'd be nervous about showing up, too. let's face it, guys, by wednesday he's going to be out on bail in four different jurisdictions. that really -- when are we going to stop thinking that's normal? when are we going to allow our country to understand again that nominating someone who is out on bail in four jurisdictions is not a winning formula. >> reporter: though trump remains dominant in the polls, there is still an appetite from some republican primary voters to move on from trump. i spoke to some people seriously considering supporting governor desantis. eva mckend, cnn, atlanta. evida, thank you. four indictments, 91 criminal charges and three runs at that time white house. now there is a renewed and growing debate amongst legal scholars, both lib rald and conservative on whether drum may be disqualified for running even without a conviction. they're referring to section 3 of the 14g9 amendment that reads in part "no person shall be a senator or representative in congress or eltor of president or vice president who having previously an oath of the constitution of the united states shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof." gloria browne-marshall is a constitutional law professor. she's joining us now. thank you so much for joining us. we've heard this debate before. it's coming up again because you have two legal scholars who, by the way, are conservative legal scholars at the university of pennsylvania law review that concluded that trump is ineligible to run for president again because of his attempts to overthrow the 2020 presidential election. this is unprecedented territory. how will this provision even be enforced? that's the central question, isn't it? >> it is. the sweep and the force of section three is the law review article. we also had the article in "the atlantic." both of these articles speak to the issue of the provision. but, as you said, the enforcement of it is on the secretary of state. these secretary of states across the country have to decide who is allowed to have their name, who is eligible to be on the ballot. i think that's going to be an issue, but i think it's also one of concern regarding what is an insurrection, what is a rebellion and how is that defined? must one be convicted of being a participant of an insurrection or rebellion before you can apply this pro vision? that's the question. >> that is the question. is it going to be up to voters? will they have to challenge trump's qualifications state by state? >> well, it wouldn't get to the voters because, first, the person's name has to be on the ballot. in order for a person to be on the ballot, they have to apply, like everything else, they fill out an application, and then that application is reviewed by members within the secretary of state of each state, whichever place that a person is going to be elected. that group, that governmental tentity decides whether or not that person is qualified. for example, natural born citizen was an at issue in the past. only a natural born citizen can be president of the united states. so if there is a question, then the question goes to the secretary of state to determine whether or not a person is a natural born citizen. i think it's going to cut along partisan lines. i also believe that when these secretaries of state receive the application by donald trump, they're going to have to determine if they're going to put it on there and then allow it to be challenged by groups in other people who say he's not committed -- not supposed to be on there because of the acts he's committed. my concern is, this whole process is going to go on and on for months and probably years. so many times with voting rights issues, they allow the person to stay on the ballot and then a determination is made even after the election takes place. the person could be on the ballot and voted on. they shouldn't be there in the first place. it's not determined until it's too late. >> how disruptive could this be to the primary season. let's say there's a patchwork of states where you have some putting trump on the ballot and others who don't. >> then there would be an expeditious appeal to the u.s. supreme court. once a challenge is made of his name being on the ballot or he is prevented from being on the ballot and he brings a challenge. that challenge then goes up to the u.s. supreme court and the u.s. supreme court must decide. of course, we have a supermajority of conservatives on the supreme court, three of whom are directly related to donald trump's political choicing, and the vetting of conservatives. that's going to be a question by itself and pretty dramatic as to whether it's going to be a bush v gore type of situation in which the supreme court is going to decide who is going to be president of the united states. >> you mentioned this, too, gloria. someone or an entity, a court system, i don't know, would have to define or determine that trump actually engaged in insurrection or rebellion, as stated in section three. we've already heard trump's lawyers and some critics who are legal scholars arguing that the events of january 6th didn't even rise to the level of an insurrection. so who would determine that? >> well, that's one of the concerns. if he's not charged with participating in a rebellion or insurrection, then it's going to be up to something that mitch mcconnell is saying, each person to decide what constitutes a rebellion or insurrection and determining did he lead it, or was he a participant in it? he still claims all he did was say "let's go to the capitol," and that was the extent. we know there was much more than that. it's very much circumstantial. some directed but maybe not direct enough to clearly charge him with that. once again, as you pointed out, once he's charged, it has to be a conviction to determine it was a rebellion or insurrection. when this was created, the 14th amendment back in 1868, it was very clear that the states had participated in a be bell i don't know and insurrection. it was a civil war since then, of course, congress and other conservatives within congress at the time debated whether or not his ability remained in place or was there an am necessity of sort. that's in the law review article coming out from the university of pennsylvania. i do think at this point whether or not there's a challenge by donald trump for being left off of the ballot or put on and then challenged by the people, in the end it's going to the u.s. supreme court. >> wow, a lot of uncharted waters here. gloria browne-marshall, appreciate you joining us. be sure to check out blo gloria's book "she took justice." make sure to join anderson
