they still hysterical right now. >> cnn's polo sandoval is live for us in muncie, new york. you're near the home where this attack happened. what is the reaction? catch us up. >> reporter: a lot of questions being asked right now by residents here. the house behind me is where this hanukkah celebration turned to horror for the people who were inside celebrating when the suspect essentially walked in with a knife and began to harm the people inside. we are told at least five people were injured and at least one is still in critical condition so we are working to get the latest on that. as for the suspect, our understanding, according to information from investigators, is that he is in custody right now. authorities are speaking to him, trying to really establish a motive because we should be clear, at this point, they have not officially declared this as a hate crime. however, when you really stop and look at all of the different pieces here, it certainly would suggest that investigates will be strongly considering that, especially when you take into account the events of what has hand place in the last week or so. over eight anti-semitic incidents reported in new york city. we are a short drive from there. in fact, many of the people who live in these communities are either before the brooklyn area or know people from there. so they have already been affected by anti-semitism. the main question here exactly what led to this. we have seen reaction from officials all across the board including from governor andrew cuomo who has committed to the hate crime task force to investigate this and releasing a statement overnight saying, quote. of course, the governor goes on here. i think what we are seeing right now on the ground is, obviously, a sense of relief that nobody was monitoring the conditions of those who who were hurt key. why and what. what will happen next to keep this from happening again, especially if this investigation ultimately concludes. this is the latest hate crime against members. jewish members in the new york community. >> the eighth. when you boil it down, it is the seventh straight day in a row that there has been an attack on this community in some way, shape owner form in the new york area. police are saying there is a suspect in custody. do we know anything beyond that, polo? >> not much. but i can tell you a little bit about what took place here during the actual incident. according to several witnesses, the individual who made his way into that home and then began to hurt these folks inside and then, according to several witnesses, some of the people who were inside, essentially used whatever they could, including tables and chairs to try to defend themselves and eventually chased him away. according to witnesses he made his way into a vehicle and made his way back to new york city and we hear that is where he was detained and don't know much more than that. the big question we are digging for is a positive motive that would compel this individual to make his way to this location. >> polo sandoval, we appreciate the update, certainly. thank you. now last hour, we spoke with cedric alexander, former president of the national organization of black law enforcement executives, and he says everyone in the community really needs to be vigilant and alert because there is no pattern to these recent attacks we have seen over last seven days. >> that is certainly a pattern that we are seeing here is that there is no pattern. so, as a result of that, what you're going to see law enforcement do and what you're seeing they do they have already activated in new york state, even the local authorities there have heightened their patrols in certain communities, in and around synagogues and it becomes important for all of us, regardless of where we live, to be able to support police, support those communities by being vigilant, by being alert. if we hear anything that doesn't sound right, if we overhear anything, if we see anything, it becomes important we will report that to the authorities so they can try to get ahead of it as quickly as they can, because what you have here, victor, is no apparent pattern whatsoever. but we do see a targeting of a certain population of americans in this country and that belong to a religious group and we have to make sure that all of us are alert, are attentive and work in collaboration there with our local authorities in that state, in that community, and across this country because these events may continue to occur. we don't know. but what we do know is as christi just pointed out, we have seen at least one event every day over the last number of weeks. >> we are joined now by josi who is a cofounder of a public affairs council. thank you for being with us. let's talk about your reaction to this attack that happened overnight and tell us how life has been for the last week or so in the new york area orthodox jewish community. >> good morning. thanks for having me on your program. first, i got word of this attack moments after it h a developing situation, rumors start flying. so i live from this location, so i decided to come down here and try to ascertain facts and to get it out there. i think the response from people within the community varies. some people are concerned about the frequency and severity of those attacks, but i've also seen a strong sense of the determination. for example, right after the attack and it is seen on video where one of the people who was in the room chased the perpetrator to his vehicle and got a good read on the tags, gave it to law enforcement and this, obviously, head helped to make sure that the person was arrested within hours. the other sense of strength was the rabbi going over to his synagogue, which is right next door, and continued with the celebrations, which i think shows a determination that here in the united states, people do have the freedom and liberty to exercise a religious life and no attack and no event will deter them from continuing this lifesty lifestyle. >> yossi, we know this is not the first attack in muncie. last month, an orthodoxed jewis know near a local synagogue. are there different steps people are taking there in the jewish community now in the last couple of weeks based on what has been happening? >> it's important for your viewers to understand that this is a strong interconnected community. throughout muncie, which is a hamlet in times of ramapo in rockland county there are approximately 65,000 orthodoxed jewish people so a lot of people know a lot of people here. and then, of course, people have family and relatives in brooklyn. in fact, sunday night to monday night, i was in brooklyn with my family to visit other family members for the holiday season so i don't think one story feels different than another story because, sadly, and too often, people know the victims, they know friends of the victim. for example, in this specific case, one person is severely attacked and i know him and i know his family members. we were neighbors 20 years ago. so these things always hit closer to homeship it isn't just a random story you feel about it and people feel it closer to home every time these things happen. >> we have discussed this morning about this constant trend of violence and attacks this week. but this has been a trend that has been growing over a period of time. we have heard the strong condemnation, the allocation of law enforcement resources, both from the governor and for mayor de blasio. are you satisfied with the state and local response to this anti-semitism? >> i think fair answer would be yes and no. the yes part is right after every incident, you see law enforcement of all levels coming in in force and trying to secure the scene and they try to do what they need to do. whether it's in jersey city or in brooklyn, manhattan, or here in rockland county. so that is the yes part. the other part which is partially yes is when we keep on hearing that there will be a stepped-up patrols, many times, these things last for about 18 hours or in the case in the brooklyn, 66 precinct, i'm not trying to malalign the precinct overall, but they placed a long bus in front of a synagogue last week with no law enforcement oftin officials in it. short of taking up a parking space, i don't think it does anything and that is where the concern starts moving in that sometimes the stepped-up security is not something that lasts. now i understand it's difficult for law enforcement to have a police officer at every congregation. i understand that but the stepped-up securities need to continue until sundown the next day. something else i mentioned on cnn a couple of hours ago. it's i think high time for authorities in brooklyn to release a list of incidents and the consequences. we keep on hearing of attacks. we keep on hearing someone was or wasn't arrested. nobody has any idea what is happening or what is happening next. are people sitting in jail? are they sentenced to six months prison, community work? people don't know what the consequences are. it's important, i think, because if people are out there with will will and they are aware that committing any act of violence, especially one which is driven by bigotry and hatred, if people are aware there are serious consequences, i think it may start to roll back the problem that we have been seeing in recent months. >> yossi, our thoughts are with you there and the community there in muncie, new york. thank you for spending a little time with us this morning. >> of course. thank you very much for having me. >> thank you. still ahead, we have more on this breaking news coverage. the mass

this attack was simple and clear. it was anti-semitism cannot be tolerated anywhere in the world. another statement was put out saying shock and outraged by the terrible attack in new york and playing for the rapid recovery of those injured. chairman of the jewish said this is the second attack on the seventh night of holiday but on this holiday that jews are trtinged. it was in pittsburgh and san diego that the attacks came on the sabbath and this coming after the sabbath are you but on the holiday of hanukkah. at a time and holiday jews should feel the safest in their home or synagogue or

five people were killed after a small plane crash in lafayette, louisiana, yesterday. the victims ranged from 15 to 59. the only survivor from the crash is hospitalized in critical condition this morning. >> the plane was headed to atlanta officials say and several of the passengers were going to the college football playoff game between lsu and oklahoma. one of those passengers was carley ann mccord and sports reporter in new orleans and daughter-in-law of defensive coach steve ensminger. >> saturday morning before 9:30 local time in lafayette, louisiana, people saw a plane fall out of the sky. >> for the first time my heart just like wanted to stop and give up and take place and i ji feel like it's pain and pain follow family and all that. >> reporter: this witness described the plane

it's one of those things like you never could picture in your mind. it was terrifying. and i was outside. i could feel the heat from the flames and i could smell the fuel. >> reporter: there were six people on the plane. only one of them survived. >> we got closer and they pulled a guy out of the burning flames and brought him out. >> reporter: the lone survivor 37-year-old wade burses vice president of sales at local data systems, an i.t. company. among the five who died, carley mccord a 30-year-old sports reporter who worked at wsd in new orleans. >> everyone loves a good family

oklahoma university in atlanta at the peach bowl. >> i've been numb all day. it's hard to do the show, quite honestly. i don't have much to say. >> yeah. >> other than there is a lot of people that are going to be hurting today. >> reporter: those hurting include families of the injured. besides bursea who survived from the plane one more person on the ground was severely burned and treated in a hospital 37 two more people inside the hospital were treated with smoke inhalation and expected to be okay. natascha chen, cnn, lafayette, louisiana. >> thank you. we are getting new details. that

showing apparent frustration with the impeachment process. >> between rounds of golf and meeting with aides, the president continued his tirades on twitter. sarah westwood is with us now from west palm beach. what are you hearing from the president this morning? >> reporter: well, good morning. president trump is growing increasingly agitated about the uncertainty about the impeachment trials. he is spending the second week in mar-a-lago. he has settled into something of a daily routine and most of his aim on twitter at nancy pelosi between golfing and mingling with friends and family herm at mar-a-lago. the president really wants to get on to that senate trial. he wants his symbolic day in court. he was is not just to be acquitted by the senate but to be vindicated by a process he hopes will be fair. he has told reporters this past week that he is still open to doing whatever senate majority leader mitchell mcconnell wants to do in terms of the structural of the trial. mcconnell has said he prefers no witnesses, no more document collection, simply to hear from the house. now president trump has also been soliciting advice from allies and aides here at mar-a-lago what the white house strategy should be for handling impeachment. a lot of unanswered questions how the white house will approach this. president has been asking for example he should bring on his fiercest members from the house to perhaps present part of his case. the only thing that seems certain at this point is that white house counsel is expected to present the bulk of the president's defense before the senate. his deputies are expected to assist him as well. until the parameters of that trial is set, it's difficult for the white house to make those decisions and heading into the second week when president is expected to be surrounded by some of his top aides, those questions may be discussed here at mar-a-lago. >> soorp wearah westwood, thank about facing a possible subpoena.

reporter: many of the democratic presidential candidates here in iowa this weekend trying to get their message out to voters with just five weeks before the iowa caucuses. joe biden going all across the state but still getting caught up in the questions about ukraine and the impeachment trial coming up in the senate. during a meeting with a des moines registeral board on friday he was asked if he imply with a subpoena to talk about his own dealings with ukraine as well as those of his son hunter biden who served on the board of ukrainian energy company. during that meeting, biden suggested he would not imply, but then spent a lot of time on saturday trying to clarify that point on twitter, saying that he believes there is no legal basis for a subpoena, and also that he has no more knowledge of the president dealings of ukraine. any other random person on the street who has been watching this unfold on television. he was pressed on this point about the subpoena during a interview with reporters on saturday and here is what he had to say about that. >> i don't think that will happen. let's cross that bridge when it comes. i would, in fact, abide by whatever was legally required of me and always have. this is a trial that relates to donald trump's behavior. did he violate the constitution? pure and simple and i'll do everything in my power to make sure that stays the focus, not anything else. >> reporter: so joe biden there saying the focus should not be on impeachment but on his campaign and the issues he has been trying to talk to voters about here, whether it's climate change or health care or the economy. many voters here in iowa are still undecided with that very close race. among the four candidates at the top. but some of the voters that we have talked to at joe biden's events say they are about 90% of the way there. coming to their final decisions, really deciding that they are going to go what they feel is a safe comfortable choice, someone who is familiar and been through the paces of the white house. so what is outside your window this morning? it could be rain, wind, snow, ice. because there is a messy mix of weather for millions of you across the midwest. minnesota wouldn't surprising to have snow and rain there but down right treacherous for drivers. >> it's so cold! >> how cold it? >> thank you, christi! >>ou hanging. >> so cold a school bus pulling a trailer here couldn't keep from sliding on the road. allison chinchar would have known to ask how cold is it. >> it's cold enough to go curling in your backyard. i saw videos of people doing that in minnesota yesterday. that could be any average saturday in december in minneapolis. yes, we are talking about potential travel issues with some of these cities here. let's start in minnesota because you have some very heavy snow in the northern portion of the state. minneapolis, right now, getting rain. but that is expected to change as we go throughout the day. ooevenlt to freezing rain and then to snow. that a big bad travel spot for today. same thing for chicago, cincinnati, d.c., new york, boston all likely to have travel problems today. even on the south end. atlanta and memphis looking at very heavy rainfall. that could cause some travel problems. out west, san francisco and sacramento bracing for the next system sliding in. that could also cause some travel problems there. not only in the air but also on the roads as well. here is a look at the live radar. we mentioned minneapolis right now getting rain. that is expected to change as we go late into the afternoon and into the evening hours. chicago, cincinnati, indianapolis right now, all looking at rain showers. good news for st. louis. you're finally starting to see at least an end to the rain for now. but, again, it's very heavy rain is expected to push from the midwest into portions of the northeast as we go through the day. even though places like new york and boston aren't dealing with right now they are expected to as we go later into the day. winter weather advisories and winter storm warnings in effect for portions of the midwest and we expect some of the heaviest snow. also expecting snow and even ice across portions of the northeast. for the midwest, most areas likely picking up widespread, up to about 4 inches. but there will be some spots the closer you get to the canadian border could pick up 6 to 8 inches. into the northeast your heaviest snow spots in the highest elevation maine, vermont, new hampshire. the biggest concern in the northeast is ice. talking a potential large icing event. some of the totals could reach three-quarters of an inch of ice and potentially as much as 1 inch of ice. keep in mind this not only causes problems on the roadways but this brings trees and power lines down so you'll have big issues with that. into the southeast looking for the potential for strong thunderstorms as well. >> allison, thank you so much for the heads-up. we are closing in on 2020 and it's time to talk about resolutions and turning them into reality. eliminating debt and setting obtainable goals and smart advice on

and dying from e-cigarettes is starting to slow down. more than 50 people who have already died and 2,500 others that are sick, the agency is working to pinpoint the exact cause of the vaping-related illnesses there. >> our dr. sanjay gupta has more. >> reporter: this is a chronic pain relief center. that's cute. >> right. this is a legal and licensed dispensary in california. this is one of the nicer ones. it's important to keep in mind there are shops that look just like this. >> reporter: it can be really hard to tell. so we sent an undercover camera to see for ourselves. according to the california bureau of cannabis control, this is an illegal vaping store. the thing is it looks just like a legal one. within minutes, we were able to purchase these illicit thc card ridges for $55 apiece and we paid cash and no sales tax and this is in california where thc is legal. >> feels like we are at the, you know, the wild west in terms of actually figuring this out. >> it is the wild west. i think there needs to be more enforcement of the illicit shops and easier way for consumers to identify which shops are operating legally. >> reporter: that is exactly why mark coashy created this that is considered the yelp for cannabis. >> on the app i see people getting headaches and nausea. >> reporter: you heard people were having symptoms and subsequently tested, what have you found? >> i found cartridges that tested positive over 15 different pesticides and heavy metals including lead and mercury. >> reporter: he says a lot of consumers have no 50i8ed the products they are buying are fake. >> the fake brands are easily identifiable because there is no testing, no government warning, and they have no tolerance resistant mechanism. >> reporter: those are big red flags. >> this one is interesting because it's a really well done counterfeit and the information on the testing data here and has the government warning and it does have a manufacturer date and a batch number. this would be really confusing to the end user. >> reporter: when people say black market they think they are buying a legitimate product. and that has started to affect the legal companies which abide by the regulations, like pure vein. >> we found it is possible to purchase our cartridges and our packaging from a number of internet websites. >> reporter: take a look. these are the authentic pure vape products that art kushyan sells and look what is being sold online. they look exactly the same. the problem is anyone can buy these and fill them with whatever they want. >> personally, it makes me feel very, very angry but, most importantly, it creates a possible danger to public of consuming products that are untested. >> reporter: when you concentrate a thc, you concentrate everything along with it. >> so every pesticide that could have been in that plant material, if it went from, let's just say 20% thc and now you've concentrated to 80% thc and you're concentrating the pesticides the same amount. >> reporter: myron ronay runs belcosta lab, a all about that approves products for consumer use. >> vaping has been around this country more than a decade. what we are seeing is relatively new. when you add that into the equation on top of the testing you've done here, does it start to lead you to some sort of conclusion? >> yes. i think it leads us to really that there is something going on on either in the elicit market that is causing this. you also have a challenge of average consumer not wanting to pay more, so they look at i could buy this for $40 or a legal store and buy it for $60. >> reporter: one way the elicit market keeps the price down -- by cutting the product. let me show you what that means. a typical legal thc cartridge would have 70% to 90% pure thc and the rest aromatic oils that give it a flavor. in illicit you have the following and vitamin e acetate which is a near cutting agent because it looks very much like the actual product. the same color and the same thickness. it would also pass something known on the street as the bubble test. basically, if the bubble moves slowly, that should mean that it's viscus enough to be pure thc oil. when you look at any of these things, you super heat it and breathe it into the lungs, do we know what those molecules then do to the body? >> vitamin e acetate can convert into essentially vinegar. when it heats up you're inhaling an acid use the cdc has identified vitamin e acetate a chemical of concern. here is the challenge. the illicit market is a moving target and if it's not vitamin e acetate as a cutting agent today, before long, it will be something new. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn, long beach, california. >> every year, millions of people resolve to make better financial decisions in the new year. and every year, they don't. they just don't. >> in other words, he is saying you don't do what you say you're going to do. listen. if you really want to improve your financial fitness, it is a priority for 2020 we have 74 for you. mitche michelle singletary from "the washington post" has some ideas and author of the 21 day financial fast. michelle, good morning to you. >> good morning. happy new year! >> reporter: you too. >> talk to us about credit card debt. how do we get that down? >> bankrate.com did a study to show who had credit card debt and i was quite surprised at the results. you would think it's lower income folks that make $30,000 or $40,000. it turns out people making $80,000 or more are more likely to have credit card debt and using it for everyday expenses like groceries, utilities, child care. so going into 2020, many of those people need to just take a look what they have and then try to come up with a plan to reduce that debt so they are not carrying this very expensive debt which, on average, is about 17%. >> so, michelle, i know people, no names being used. >> i'm sure they are grateful for that. >> they play the balance transfer game to try to pay off cards. move it here, move it there but then you pay the 3% or 4% to move the money. how do you determine what the best strategy is to get rid of this credit card debt? >> actually, take a step back. i'm not a big supporter of that. if you have not changed your habits that got you into credit card debt in the first place because you'll you're doing is shifting the debt, like you said. i think what people need to do if you are still shopping, if you're still coming up short every month and you're using your credit card card debt balance transfer is not going to solve the underlying problem. i would just suggest that you try to find a nonprofit consumer credit counseling agency if this on nonprofit. not the companies that charge you thousands of dollars to get rid of your debt. somebody will sit down and go over your budget with you. if you had some sort of like a car broke down but normally you're good with your money, you just had a very expensive repair and you can qualify for a 0% and no fee for that balance transfer, then i'm okay with you doing that. but i really need you to examine whether or not you are habitually in credit card debt because that is just a band-aid transferring balances from one card to the other. >> is there a single mistake that is the most detrimental to our financial life that we make on a regular basis even? really, i know it sounds so simple but just living above your means. when i look at how people are handling their money and i see lots of individuals and couples and what i'm finding is people who are making good money, just overspending, they have a bigger house than they should. they have a better car than they should. listen! it's okay. you are not what you drive! and you should not care what anybody thinks about the kind of car you have. listen. i have a car that is so old! if somebody hits my car, i don't know if it should dent. and what does that say? my money is being put towards things that will increase my net worth or help my family or my kids. my husband, i sent all three of our kids to school debt-free by living below our means. when we make these new year's resolutions, we look at do i have credit card debt? i want to save more. but i need you had to look at the underlying cause of why you are where you are. are you living above your means? you could be doing well and helping out a bunch will people that shouldn't be helped out. like we have a lot of parents and grandparents that are abling and their adult children to live above their means. that is why people go into 2020 so stressed about their money! >> because if you got to get real with yourself to do that and could be a hard place to be. >> i would suggest read michelle's column because she writes about something called "using credit cards for lifestyle." so read that. michelle singletary, good to have you. >> i love being here. >> happy new year. >> happy new year to you too and get rid of that debt and save

yesterday. at one point you thought is he even going to be able to coach? >> how can you focus under such circumstances and he did. he did well. >> he did. >> as it is, it was interesting. the team relatively insulated from the day's events. many of the lsu players after the game said they had no idea what had occurred. to be in the national semifinal and have tragedy touch a key member of the coaching staff, this could have been overwhelming. this was lsu offensive coordinator steve ensminger on the field before the peach bowl and almost in tears. you can only imagine what is going through his mind at this point learning before hours before kickoff his dearly carley mccord one of five people killed when their plane crashed. he stayed on to coach and coached brilliantly. his team might not have been aware but they played inspired football against oklahoma. the game over in a blink of an eye thanks to heisman trophy joe burrow. seven touchdown passes and one he ran in and most ever in a bowl game ever. tigers win 23-68 but the head coach ed orgeron who called his assistant ensminger the mvp of the day. >> a tragedy that happened to the ensminger family today. i was the one who had to tell coach and here is what i told him. i told him what happened. here is what he said. coach, we are going to get through this. and, obviously, he was distraught but he called a great game today so just goes to show you the integrity and the grit and character of the men on our football team. >> you talk about teams and schools as a family. there it is right there. the night cap, clemson and ohio state had it all and controversy. in the third, clemson is up when trevor lawrence hits justin ross with a fumble and scoop and score, ohio state. so we think. hang on. the play goes
