hope you have an awesome monday morning. >> coy, thanks very much. thanks to all of you for joining us. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. "cnn this morning" starts right now. ♪ good monday morning. we're glad you are with us. some good news this morning. a deal. one deal. >> one deal. >> one of the many deals that needs to be made. >> of the 15 deals that need to be made, so far one deal but it is important. >> that's right, it is in los angeles. hollywood we're talking about. let's get started with five things to know for this monday. a tentative deal in the hollywood writers' drive strike after 146 days an countless picket lines. >> but no deal in d.c. where a shutdown is increasingly likely. the gop still split on a path forward. and bad news for president biden in a pair of new poles. 56% of americans disapprove of how he is handling the job. and also on the immigration front the mayor of el paso says his city is at a breaking point without enough resources to deal with another surge of migrants as mexico makes an agreement with the united states to deport people to their home countries. and it is by far the most important story not just the nation but perhaps the entire world, taylor swift cheers on the chiefs sitting next to travis kelce's mom and fans. can't get enough of trailer. we'll have to work on that one. "cnn this morning" starts right now. are they really calling it traylor? >> i guess it works but i don't think it is very catchy. great weekend for ohio, not just the buckeye, but travis kelce is from ohio. so ohio stays winning. >> all good things are from ohio. but this breaking overnight, the writers ay writers' strike may be coming to an end after a tentative deal. the members will vote on whether to accept it. hollywood remains paralyzed after negotiations with the actors strike drags on. >> and economists say the strike has led to more than $5 billion in losses not only in los angeles but other hubs like new york and georgia. camila bernal is live for us in l.a. the writers' guild says this deal is exceptional. what happens next? >> reporter: there is still a big process here because we need the members to vote on this and ratify it. but a lot of the writers that i talked to have told me they are excited, relieved. one told me i'm ready to go back to making magic and telling stories. but the guild is telling them not yet, no one is allowed to return to work. they are saying that they need to figure out the legal language first. what they described it as a just dotting every single i. sources saying that artificial intelligence was really the last sticking point that they had to work through. i want to read part of the statement that the wga put out. they are saying what we have won in this contract, most particularly everything we gained since may 2 is due to the willingness of this membership to exercise its power, to demonstrate its solidarity, to endure the pain and uncertainty of the past 146 days. so after they figure out the language, there is going to be a leadership vote. and that will likely happen tomorrow. after that, we'll get all of the details on this deal and the members will be able to ask questions and then vote on it. the first thing that you are likely going to see return to normal is the talk shows, the late night shows, those are really the first ones that will be able to go back on tv. and you are seeing some of those on your screen. the biggest question though is what happens to the rest of tv this year and really movies next summer. and the thing is that those also are going to depend on the actors who are on strike as well. these two strikes together have been extremely difficult for this industry. it is sort of a domino effect because it is not just hollywood but an entire country impacted by these two strikes. >> no question. big first step. we'll see how it plays out. camila bernal, thank you. let's bring in nischelle turner. 146 days. they have got this tentative deal. what can you tell us what it looks like? because for the union to say it is exceptional says a lot. >> yeah, it does say a lot. i think that the union also had to say something to its members to let them know that they were fighting and got some of the this inks that they, you know, were at a stalemate for. that is the use of artificial intelligence and staffing in writers rooms. i think those were the two big hang-ups that they were in the room for the last five days really trying to work out the language in that. so what they are saying to them is that we stood in there, we fought for you, we know what you wanted. and this is what we got. it will be interesting to see tomorrow when the board has that vote if they do ratify the new agreement. we know we won't see picketers anymore on the picket line, but the wga has told its members you are still on strike, so it is not officially over, but it does look like that we're headed toward the finish line in this situation. >> my assumption has been that if this deal was reached, the actors would follow fairly quickly thereafter, but there are no tangible negotiations on that front. what is the expectation there? >> well, phil, i think a lot of people would hope that your assumptions are correct. i'm not sure if they are. i mean, the actors are pretty stalwart in what they are saying as well. i think that the situation all along was hopefully that, that the writers would get something done because they went on strike first and then the actors would follow. the actors union is bigger, it is more powerful, but there is a a lot of bad woodblood there. the leadership in the actors union has been very vocal about how they feel about the heads of the studios. and so, you know, there hasn't been a lot of talk. they have not come back to the table in several months. and so we are not really sure what is going to happen there. but the hope is that everyone will get this resolved and even will get back to work. >> we have also most importantly this morning learned the halftime performer for the super bowl. >> huge news. >> huge, huge news. what can you tell us? >> well, what i can tell you is usher says this is a bucket list moment for him and he's been able to fulfill it by performing at the super bowl halftime show. he put out a really fun video announcing it yesterday. there was a lot of rumbling the last few weeks who it was going to be, would it be a boy band reunion, would it be taylor swift. and i think that we saw that that is not happening. so now we know it is going to be usher. there were some critics early on, years before, saying does usher have a big enough body of work. i think that his vegas residency and popularity of that has shown people that there is an appetite for him, that he does have a huge disking on grief. i think it will be a halftime show to remember. >> does he have big enough body of sfwhork work? just banger. now from l.a. to d.c., not a lot of daylight in terms of what is happening next. the government shutdown becoming more and more likely has gop hardliners are holding it hostage with only five days left to reach a deal. kevin mccarthy worked through the weekend but still does not have support from republicans demanding huge spending cuts that they cannot force the senate or white house to accept. if kevin mccarthy works with democrats on a short term spending bill, some have threatening that could cost him his job. >> kevin mccarthy promised separate bills. he is in breach of that promise. so i'm not here to hold the government hostage, i'm here to hold kevin mccarthy to his word. >> if speaker mccarthy ultimately allows a deal to pass with democratic votes, would you support ousting him from the speaker's chair? >> that would be something that i would look strongly at, ma'am. if we do away with our duty that we said that we were going to do. >> lauren fox is joining us now. all right, they worked through the weekend. garrett graves and patrick mcenhenry, speaker's top two allies are working on this, what is the path forward? >> what you are going to see and what the path forward are two separate items. the path forward for mccarthy is to decide whether or not he will work with democrats. we'll see if he gets there by the end of the week. but what you will see from house republicans, they will move forward with their plan to vote on individual spending bills. these are bills that did not have support in the senate. these are also bills that we don't know if they have the votes to pass. over the weekend, republican leadership tried to encourage their members to rally around a short term spending bill that included border security as a way to have a negotiating position with the senate. the argument from leadership is that if we enter into a shutdown, our hand is not going to get any stronger. but that message does not seem to be resonating with some of the hardliners that mccarthy has been dealing with over the last several months including matt gaetz who you heard from there. so right now the question for mccarthy, when the end of the week comes and the senate potentially sends him over a clean spending bill, just a couple weeks stopgap measure to get them over this deadline, will he put it on the floor. i tried to press the speaker on this question friday. he said it was hypothetical and if it happened to give him a call. >> it is not hypothetical, it is almost certainly going to happen. we'll see how it plays out. lauren fox, thank you. ahead for us, growing calls from democrats both nationally and in new jersey for senator bob menendez to resign after he was indicted on bribery charges. >> there is no way that any public official has any legal or plausible or ethical explanation for having $500,000 in cash stuffed in jackets and envelopes throughout their home, gold bars that have the fingerprints and dna of someone that you were attempting to fix the system for. rmulatated with nourishing, prebiotic oat. it's clinically proven to moisturize dry y skin for 24 hours. aveeno® sleep more deeply. and wake up rejuvenated. purple mattress's exclusive gelflex grid draws away heat, reeves pressure, and instantly adapts. dry skin for 24 hours. aveeno sleep more deeply and wake up rejuvenated purple mattresses, exclusive gel flex grid draws away heat relieves pressure and instantly adapts sleep better, live purple visit purple.com or mattress store near you online dating my buddy met a nice woman that way but i'm not really sure where to look. >> pick up your phone go to our time.com. look for free. it's easy to take a look on our time. the dating site for people over 50. >> hi, i'm stacy and i've lost 60 pounds on golo. this belt i used to wear way down at the first and second notch. it's the only thing i've kept from before. losing weight. and i'm keeping this because i'm never going back. i had eight utis in one year. >> this inspired me and my partner spencer to launch a kora. >> yakura makes effective urinary tract health products. >> it truly works miracles. >> the peace of mind i've been looking for go to cora.com to learn more or. hold it. >> imagine a world with no drama . >> i have a son jody's card yet at four imprint finding the promotional products you need to create a memorable moment is an easy mission. >> our expert team will take care of every detail to make your success a certainty. take the drama out of ordering promotional products at four imprint.com for imprint. for certain, i'm patriotic kenny and hi i'm amanda. >> my scooter broke down. >> i went into a depression. >> how you feel about that?

>> the response to that is simply that, number one, this inquiry will end up, i believe, in absolutely nothing. and if anyone looks at my history on egypt, they would know that by both denying aid to egypt, denying arms sales to egypt, criticizing its human rights record, and not in a position to be helpful to anyone as it relates to egypt, well, that was the last time that new jersey senator bob menendez was on cnn. >> that was back in april. and you heard him there. tell us he was not in a position to be helpful to anyone relating egypt. but federal prosecutors disagree, saying he took hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and cash in gold bars and expensive gifts in exchange for helping new jersey new jersey meat company secure a big contract with the egyptian government. the new jersey advance media reports he's going to hold a press conference, news conference this morning. >> now, menendez says he's, quote, not going anywhere as he faces growing calls to resign from within his own party. >> i do believe that it is in the best interests for senator menendez to resign in this moment. as you mentioned, consistency matters. it shouldn't matter whether it's a republican or a democrat. the details in this indictment are extremely serious. they involve the nature of a of not just his, but all of our seats in congress . >> this is a very serious charge. there's no question about it. in terms of resignation. that's a decision to be made by senator menendez and the people of new jersey. well, these are serious. >> yes. and shocking charges as bribery, corruption. i've never seen anything like this. i think senator menendez is going to have to think long and hard about the cloud. that's going to hang over his service in the united states senate. >> also, six of nine house democrats in new jersey have already called for menendez to resign, as has pennsylvania democratic senator john fetterman. so who is defending menendez? republican congressman jorge santos, who we should note is facing 13 federal criminal charges related to alleged financial crimes himself? i think due process is important, and i think he has the right to defend himself when did we walk away from the fabric of our constitution that everybody has a presumption of innocence before anything else? >> so i don't i don't think he should resign. >> joining us now, new york times reporter tracy tully. she covers new jersey for the paper. thank you very much for being with us. thank you for having me. mr. reid. two people from this indictment, quote, among other actions menendez provided sensitive us government information and took other steps that secretly aided the government of egypt. explain why this is different than a handful of years ago when it ended in a mistrial. because this is about us state secrets. yeah it's a very different indictment than we saw back then. >> it it accuses him of two things, both helping egypt but also trying to influence to several criminal prosecutions. >> one in state court, a few in state court, and at least one in federal court. >> the difference in the response from new jersey democrats has been dramatic from the first indictment where you saw everyone. the second the indictment came in backing him, supporting him, contributing to his legal defense fund. right. with the exception of jorge santos, who was not a new jersey democrat, he's a new york republican. i'm not sure that's the ally you necessarily want to have behind you in a situation like this. i haven't seen anybody prominent really coming out in a major way to defend him. what does that tell you about what's next? >> he's he's alone. he's he doesn't have the support that he had back in 2015. today, he's about to go to back to union city, which is his home turf, where he was raised, where he was mayor. he was on the school board as a 20 year old and, you know, it's home and he's really focusing on going back there. but yeah, i mean, it it it means a tougher road ahead if he should seek reelection. >> right. he can technically still serve. he can't be the chair of that committee, but he can still serve. senator democratic senator from new jersey, cory booker has not said anything yet. but does that change today? >> i think that we may hear something from senator booker sooner rather than later. i don't know what he will say. he's been a very close friend and ally to senator menendez for and they've been good partners there is just real quick for context for people who might not understand senator menendez or kind of new jersey politics, his weight inside the state is significant. >> and part of the reason everybody got behind him after the first indictment is he has there's some fear that comes with taking him on or going against him. fear i think he underscored when he when there was a mistrial, then he basically said anybody who didn't stay with me, i remember who you are. i'm paraphrasing here. right. is contextualize him in the state of new jersey politics. >> he's he's a survivor. he's been there forever. or he came up through hudson county, which is kind of a bare knuckle political area. and he he the climate to is the difference. there's a democratic governor. so were he to step down in the democratic governor would appoint appoint versus way back when there was a republican governor at times. so the math is a little bit different. >> tracy tully, thanks for your reporting on this. appreciate it . >> one of the star witnesses in the january six hearings says she's, quote, coming out of hiding as she prepares to release a book with new allegations. former trump white house aide cassidy hutchinson sat down for her first tv interview since her testimony with cbs sunday morning. her new book includes a new claim that rudy giuliani groped her, which he denies, says hutchinson is defending her testimony to the january 6th committee, including an anecdote about donald trump allegedly lunging for the steering wheel of his presidential limo when the secret service refused to take him to the capitol on the day of the insurrection. >> i felt torn a lot of the time because i knew what i knew and i wanted to come forward with what i knew. but at the same time, i didn't want to feel like i was betraying them. and i didn't want to feel like i was betraying my colleagues. >> you admit in the book you've admitted here that you told less than the truth, that you lied. >> why should we believe you now ? >> because what would i have to gain by coming forward? >> you know, it would have been easier for me to continue being complicit. >> hutchin hutchinson will speak with our very own jake tapper a this week. you can hear more on what she says happened inside the white house as those protesters stormed the capitol. well, that interview airs tomorrow, 4 p.m. eastern. well president biden's approval rating continues to struggle even among democrats. >> we're breaking down brand new polling and the 2024 race for the white house. >> plus, biden and trump set to square off in michigan this week as autoworkers continue their strike. we'll have a preview of their dueling trips to this battle ground state. >> one down, nine to go. hey, what are you doing out here? >> i just had something picked up. >> oh, my gosh. i'm having something delivered. >> carvana. >> you know, carvana searched it, bought it, scheduled it, and here it is. >> you think carvana is good for buying? >> you should try selling one. >> oh, my gosh. >> it's almost identical. >> you got to have backup. >> you know what i say. >> good job, hon. thanks oh. woo! >> i loved it once and i love it twice. >> where is the other one?

[ cheers ] yeah! woho! running up and down that field looks tough. it's a pitch. get way more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. ones get it done jose andres and family in spain new episodes sundays at 9:00 on cnn. >> all right. welcome back. a pair of new polls raising some fresh concerns for democrats about president biden's chances of winning reelection in the fall. next fall, nbc news, this survey released over the weekend shows the president's job approval is underwater. 56% say they disapprove of his performance so far. and that track with cnn's poll of polls on his average approval rating. another poll released this weekend from the washington post and abc news is painting a similar picture from within biden's own party. >> nearly two thirds of democrats surveyed say they want another option at the top of the ticket in 2024. transportation secretary pete buttigieg dismissing the concerns when asked about those polls. >> we're an administration that isn't all about the polls. we recognize that if we get the results right over time, people will come to appreciate that. >> joining us now to discuss washington correspondent for bloomberg suleiman politics reporter for semaphore shelby toolkit and cnn political commentator and spectrum news political anchor errol louis. guys, welcome to the table. thank you very much. all right, shelby, i'll start with you. the polling at this point, 14 months out, national polls not totally sure how much you want to grab on to them and say this means everything. however there's a consistent thread here in terms of where the president sits within his own party. if you're the biden team right now, what are you thinking when you see these numbers? >> well, i'm thinking, first of all, and i've talked to a lot of democrats close to the white house about the fact that particular early on, things like the economy, it seems like their messaging or whatever they're doing is just not resonating with voters. so the numbers that they're seeing coming out of the white house, voters aren't feeling that. and so when i talk to people, they say, well, just give it time. as you said, we still have a while to go until general election and the more that they push out this messaging, a lot of people close to the white house believe that it will kind of naturally begin to resonate with voters. but i think it's clearly a concern. and i also think it's a concern how many voters seem to have an issue with biden's age and questions about his health. we've talked about this before. for a lot of voters seem to want someone younger. now, the interesting thing is trump is not necessarily that much younger, but the concern over biden's health and age is much higher than the concern over trump's. >> errol, the fact that it was a washington post abc poll and what it showed in terms of a hypothetical of 2024 matchup between biden and trump is huge . it has trump leading by about ten points, 51 to 42. but both abc and the washington post just added to their poll results by a caveat, which is unique for them to do, basically saying this could be an outlier because the nbc poll has the two head to head at 4646. what should we make of that? >> you should make of it that they weren't entirely certain that they got this right and we should. >> why publish it? it's a good question. >> yeah. why >> why? why do people think that it might be off? well, if you look at it a little bit and we don't have the full crosstab regulations, we don't have all of the numbers. but this poll assumes, among other things, that support from, say, black voters and latino voters is only at 50% for joe biden. >> now, you know, the way he actually performed in 2020, he won the latino vote 2 to 1. and something like 3 to 1 or more with black voters. >> so if that changed and this poll is, you know, i think owes us an explanation or those who want to rely on it should should ask themselves, well, what changed and what changed in the last six months with latino voters to suddenly abandon? >> is that the problem? so if you wanted to compare it to a car that doesn't seem to be functioning, you've got to ask yourself, is it out of gas or is there something wrong with the carburetor or is it defective from the factory? what is going on here? and i don't think the poll really suggests that. i don't i don't know if it's time to really panic. democrats will panic. we know that that's what they do. but but the reality is, unless something has fundamentally changed, if unless , you know, important parts of the democratic coalition have either defected or are seriously annoyed at the leadership, you know, the suggestion that women are going to walk away or suburban voters or college educated voters or black or latino voters unless you've got an explanation or a story that kind of matches that it really is too soon to panic, i think. and i think it's a great point because i think we seize on individual polls, particularly national polls at this stage in the game. >> and it's to some degree nonsensical. i understand looking at it for trend lines that don't make sense, snapshot in time. there are outliers. if the coalition that you're talking about ends up tracking with this poll, donald trump is going to win with like an 84 reagan style level blowout and that nobody sees that happening. what is interesting, though, and what consistent poll after poll after poll is on the economy and you've covered this issue closer than anybody over multiple administrations. and i'm interested because shelby makes this point in terms of connecting what this administration has done, both legislatively and through executive action. the broader macro numbers versus how people are feeling, where is the disconnect, do you think? >> a lot of it is in the messaging, but a lot of it is just when you're at the grocery store checkout, what are you seeing? you can hear a narrative from president biden who is hopscotching across the country to tell everyone that bionomics is infrastructure, it's construction jobs. but all people are seeing is that egg prices are really high. i'm being told they've come down. they're still really high and my wages have just not come up the other side of it is also it depends on who you ask. republicans see bidenomics as inflation. a lot of democrats see it as job creation. and then there's the people in between. and there's a lot of apathy right there, right in between. >> i think you make a great point. and then shelby adding on to what's to come soon, loan repayments start october 1st. no idea where this uaw strike is going to land. that's why you've got trump and biden going there this week. so you have you also have gdp predictions, i think goldman sachs prediction for growth in the fourth quarter is not good. so those are things, by the way, that haven't even hit people yet. yeah, i mean, it's again, it's a long ways to the general election. >> there's time for things to move in either direction. and i think you make a really good point that you know, things can change. this is one poll. this is just a few polls. and i think at this point it is in part up to the biden administration to kind of hone in that messaging. but a lot of it is not necessarily going to be up to them because we don't know what's going to happen with all these issues. >> i don't know. you covered this white house. why are they talking about it like this, knowing what people are feeling ? >> i'm not on the panel. i'm just supposed to ask that. >> listen, there's a cautionary tale for this white house. >> you totally bailed phil out. >> keep going early. you're doing great. >> the cautionary tale for this white house is, is 1990 when the presidency of george h.w. bush was endangered because there was a recession on. and technically, we were coming out of the recession. it's just people didn't feel it in time and they voted him out of office. and that that's what they want to try and avoid above above everything. it would be, you know, a great problem for them if while they're doing all of the right things and technically inflation is coming down, but if people just don't believe it, they don't feel it, they're not going to act on it, that's i think when they say give us time , they are racing against time. >> it's technically not coming down on things like food and energy. in some respects, inflation is the rate of change, so the rate of change is coming down. >> and okay, fine, so you know, the prices are too high, but and they're still getting higher, but they're not getting high as quickly as they were last year. by the time you've explained that to a voter, they're like, you're explaining, you're losing. yeah well, exactly. and you know, look, we all feel it. you know, you fill up that gas tank, it's like, wait a second, i know what just happened here. >> it was like six bucks. and that's one place that's what voters ultimately vote on, is kitchen table issues, things that are affecting them. >> they think time will allow their legislator on the panel to sink in. no, i just you know, you caught me off guard. i was a little unsettled. and i know the smart people around me. you can answer better. and they also think the contrast is the biggest thing. and once you put head to head him and trump and you look at trump's economic record and then you look at what's actually particularly on issues like abortion across the board, they feel like they have a net positive. so will that carry the day? we should ask the panel next hour. okay shelby earl, celia, thanks, guys, very much. we appreciate it. >> so phil just mentioned there's a new detail deal, rather, between the united states and mexico. this is aiming to ease the migrant crisis that is really overwhelming border towns. we've got those deal details ahead. >> and happening today, some residents of lahaina will begin returning to what's left of their homes seven weeks after those devastating wildfires. what they're expecting to find, that's ahead. ladies let's go. >> i'm hungry. i am jose andres. spain is the land where my passion for cooking began. and now i'm taking my daughters. wow >> that is pure crunch. >> take a look at this. today's the food. oh, my god. it's unbelievable. that made me who i am. this is tradition. >> done. where are we heading next?

>> you know, phil, this is really significant because it could be the difference between the us seeing another surge on the southern border and not you see what mexican officials here are saying, that they are going to, quote, deploy, pressurize their northern mexican border cities by deporting migrants back to their home countries, which in essence means mexico would be rerouting the flow of migration before migrants actually get to the us southern border. us representative henry cuellar over the weekend applauded this move, saying that this is a strategy that has worked in the past under presidents obama and president trump. but it's notable to add that advocacy organizations immigration advocates and human rights organizations have in the past condemned this type of strategy. from mexico to the riverbanks of eagle pass, thousands of migrants have crossed the border, wading across the rio grande and crawling under the razor wire and overwhelming eagle pass and other southern texas cities. >> we're here abandoned. >> we're on the border. >> we're asking for help. this is unacceptable. please just enforce the laws that are on the books in an effort to, quote, depressurize northern mexico border cities, the united states and mexico have brokered a new agreement meeting in ciudad juarez, mexico, on friday. >> the countries agreed to a 15 action plan, which includes mexico, deporting migrants to their home countries by land and air. us border patrol agents will be able to expel migrants to the bridge that connects el paso to ciudad juarez. mexico has also agreed to carry out negotiations with venezuela, brazil, nicaragua, colombia and cuba to determine their willingness to accept citizens deported from the us mexico border says the agreement also includes mexico submitting a daily report of the number of migrants on its train system is establishing checkpoints along the rail route and conducting interventions on railways and highways. according to mexican officials. look you know, what we need to do is to do this one. >> we need to have repercussions at the border. >> what does that mean? you got to deport people and you got to show those images of people being deported. when was the last time we saw people going the other way instead of just seeing people flow in on the ground in eagle pass, cnn witnessed the reality for migrants. said, we faint, we pass out. >> this is crazy, but thank god we are here just like jorge carrillo of venezuela and his three year old child told, according to a federal law enforcement source. >> border patrol agents in the rio grande valley are encountering about 1000 migrants per day this reality leaves texas border towns like el paso at their breaking point, with thousands of migrants in custody . >> you know, we seem to be doing the same thing over and over again. >> they keep sending us money. we keep trying to find shelter, and we try to make sure people off the street, make sure our community is safe, make sure they're safe. but then the day the immigration system is not changed. so now back to the agreement between the us and mexico. >> it's notable that we know more from mexican officials about what mexico is doing in this agreement than what the united states is doing. it was us customs and border protection that attended this meeting on friday. we've asked u.s cbp a lot of questions. we haven't heard back, but us cbp did issue a statement yesterday from the acting commissioner saying in part, quote, the united states and mexico remain committed to stemming the flow of irregular migration driven by unscrupulous smugglers while maintaining access to lawful pathways. so, in other words, them doubling down on the enforcement action. it's important to note as well that mexico's top diplomat announced on friday that mexico's president wants to meet with president biden in november in washington, d.c. among the things that the president wants to discuss is, of course, migration. back to you guys. rosa flores, great reporting, as always. >> thank you. >> so today, people who live in lahaina on maui will be able to go home. they are able to return to their homes for the first time since they were just destroyed in the deadliest us wildfire in more than a century. the disaster area has been split into zones. the first zone has been cleared for reentry today. officials say it will likely take about three months before everyone can go back to their property. and the governor warns people likely are going to have to wear protective live gear because of the potentially toxic ash. this comes seven weeks after that fire killed at least 97 people. officials just released the names of six newly confirmed victims and they include an 11 year old little boy. >> well, chairman joint chiefs of staff mark milley is scheduled to step down this week. we have new cnn reporting about his legacy and controversies. that's next. >> and before we go to break, the lottery powerball jackpot growing $785 million. now the fourth largest prize in history . there have now been 28 consecutive drawings without a grand prize winner since one lucky person took home more than a billion bucks in july. officials say the odds of hitting the jackpot one in more than 292 million. so good luck. liberty mutual. >> customize my car insurance. >> and i saved hundreds with the money i saved, i started a dog walking business. oh no. it's just a money. i only pay for what you need. >> liberty. liberty liberty. liberty >> online dating. i know people meet that way, but where would i even begin?

>> well, poppy, the chairman of the joint chiefs is meant to be the president's top military adviser there outside of the chain of command. and it's supposed to be a strictly apolitical role, but in ways big and small during the trump era, the military was often sort of sucked into the chaotic domestic political environment of the moment in ways that milley was often forced to respond to, in particular surrounding the events of january 6th. milley at that point took a number of sort of extraordinary steps to try to safeguard against some of the president's more outlandish impulses, as well as just kind of the general chaos of the moment. he's also become sort of the face of the so-called woke military for some critics on the right who say he has leaned too far into lgbtq issues as well as his public support for renaming army bases in the south that were named after confederate generals. and one detail that we learned, poppy, about the degree to which milley has sort of been attuned to the domestic politics surrounding both the military and himself personally, is that every morning his staff pull the transcripts from the primetime fox shows like like sean hannity and at one point, tucker carlson to kind of monitor them to see if they are talking about mark milley. and so now there is this big debate, i think, over for his legacy and his sort of tenure. did he did his conduct sort of fit an extraordinary political moment or did he sort of lean in to the domestic politics? that's far enough that it has done some sort of made some irrevocable changes to the apolitical role of chairman of the joint chiefs. he's also profiled in the big, you know, front page piece of the atlantic as being the man who stood between trump and the constitution and the steps that he took. >> look, he apologized for the lafayette square moment, right. saying that that was a pure political he shouldn't have done it, but in other ways, things that he did through his tenure to stand between trump and actions that would have been antithetical to the constitution . >> yeah, i think one way that we sort of found that milley would kind of try to stand in the breach, so to speak, is he would listen to these tirades from president trump and he would just stay silent. >> and if the president didn't give him a direct order, which he often would not, that would allow milley to essentially walk out of trump's office and just kind of not do anything. and, of course, for some of his critics on the right, that's a dangerous perversion of civilian control of the us military, which is this kind of bedrock principle. >> your reporting is fascinating . katie beau, thank you very much for joining us this morning. thank you. thanks, phil. well, the breaking news overnight, the writers strike could finally be coming to an end. >> what we know about the potential deal and when shows could be back on air. >> plus, he's chiefs captain and she's on the bleachers. the new details behind taylor swift's big game day appearance. oh, we're internet without trackers , without malware ridden files. >> zen could be more cyber zen. get nordvpn when every second counts. >> adt self set up with video verification helps police respond faster so you get help sooner. you can even request help with just a tap. we have a verified alarm. >> i'm all clear. all clear. >> so you have a home with no worries. brought to you by adt. i was stuck unresolved depression symptoms were in my way. >> i needed more from my antidepressant vraylar helped give it a lift, adding vraylar to an antidepressant is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms better than an antidepressant alone and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. >> elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts . >> antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults report fever, stiff muscles or confusion as these may be life threatening or uncontrolled muscle movements which may be permanent, high blood sugar which can lead to coma or death, weight gain and high cholesterol may occur. >> movement, dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects, stomach and sleep issues, dizziness, increased appetite and fatigue are also common side effects may not appear for several weeks. >> i didn't have to change my treatment. i just gave it a lift . >> ask about vraylar and learn how abbvie could help you save sometimes. >> jonah wrestles with falling asleep, so he takes zql the world's number one sleep aid brand for a better night's sleep. so now he wakes up feeling like himself. the reigning family room middleweight champion has better days start with a night's. >> hold it. imagine a world with no drama. >> i'm inside jody's car yet at four imprint finding the promotional products you need to create a memorable moment is an easy mission. >> our expert team will take care of every detail to make your success a certainty. take the drama out of ordering promotional products at four imprint.com or imprint for certain. >> my most important kitchen tool my brain. >> so i choose new nariva ultra unlike some others, it supports seven brainhealth indicators including mental alertness from one serving to help keep me sharp. >> try new nariva ultra think bigger. >> let's go. i'm hungry. i am jose andres. spain is the land where my passion for cooking began and now i'm taking my daughters. wow that is pure crunch. take a look at this. to taste the food. oh, my god. it's unbelievable. that made me who i am. this is traditionally done. >> where are we heading next?

>> they're just glad they made you read that intro. omg i respect great writing and that's great writing right there. >> oh by the way, coy wire is here. coy, we're going to connect all of those dots in a second. but first and foremost, the miami dolphins. i have no puns or pop culture to tie to. they just destroyed the broncos yesterday. >> oh, man, you may not have puns, but they had punishment. never in my wildest dreams did i think i would see something like this. the miami dolphins puttinr house and it took them less than 90s for them to show like khalid, we the best offense in the nfl to a tagovailoa feeling this moment four touchdown passes tyreek hill going 54 yards on this one cheetah a man of the people hopping into the stands but this only begins the begin raheem mostert moseying into the end zone for one of his four touchdowns and watch this celebration. come on, shake your body, baby. do that conga kind of. miami had 35 points at the half and then the fourth quarter. how about rookie davon , a chain like a runaway chain, 67 yards. so swift for one of his four touchdowns as well. miami 70 points. they're the most in a game since 1966 by any one team. it's nfl regular season record was 72. all right. speaking of swift sparks flying in kansas city as taylor swift sits next to mama kelce after an invite from mr. perfectly fine, the chiefs, travis kelce. so you knew his quarterback, patrick mahomes was going to find a way to make sure trav caught a touchdown. nothing new as kasey's original power couple revs it up for seven catches and this touchdown in t swift trending with this reaction right here chiefs embarrassed the bears 41 to 10 my goodness i mean travis kelce and taylor swift they've been rumored that they were maybe dating and it looks maybe more like that might be the case. >> can we just talk about like we try and be creative and funny with puns and then then coy comes in. it's so good. just absolutely destroys our efforts. >> mint yeah, we do best. you're the best. you're the best. did i see a penguin reference in there?

so i'm just going to ask you, do we know anything? are they dating? what is happening? >> whatever that means? >> i mean, i think we're all seeing this play out in front of us. but i will have to say, you know, taylor swift wrote mr. perfectly fine about joe jonas. so i don't know if travis kelce wants to actually be mr. perfectly fine, because that was a breakup song. so he might want a new lyric. coming up, what we do know is that travis has been very vocal about the fact that he's perceived suing taylor in some way, shape or form. he went on his podcast and talked about the fact that he wrote his number on a friendship bracelet, took it to her concert, tried to give it to her, but she didn't get it. he's been very vocal about wanting her to come to a game. we know now that she was there. we don't know if they connected before, but we do know that they did leave the game together. they were seen leaving together. they were seen getting into his car. and here's the thing. you guys know, you talked about the era of she's in her red era. well, we do know the 1989 era era was a huge era for taylor swift and really when she became a superstar, a lot of her fans loved that era. and the outfit that travis kelce had on after the game was a print called the 1989 bedroom painting. so this is just like this. >> she feels so coordinated. i'm just adjacent kelsey guy and a
