places in between. >> reporter: jimmy buffett's laid-back songs captured the lazy day feel of paradise. ♪ >> reporter: some called his signature song gulf & western. country and caribbean music. >> i loved the caribbean music. my grandfather sang the calypso song. all of this amalgamation came in and came back out. i became a performer and that gave me the vehicle to do it. >> reporter: buffett was born christmas day, 1946, on the gulf coast in southern mississippi and raised in the port city of mobile, alabama. he began his career making country music but only really found his musical voice after moving to key west in the '70s. ♪ ch

♪ >> reporter: it helped inspire his tropical style and eventually led to his 1976 legendary album and his famous hit song "margaritaville." ♪ some people claim there's a woman to blame now i think it could be my fault ♪ >> reporter: but buffet's greatest musical success was on the concert stage, not the charts. he made hundreds of millions of dollars over the decades supported by his lesion of diehard fans known as parrot heads. >> reporter: his music may have been laid back, but buffet brought so much music to his life. he piloted airlines, wrote books, raised funds for

candidates, and made an estimated $1 billion in his lifestyle brand which included restaurants, hotels, resorts, and casinos. like his music, it was all koured toward capturing the tropical places buffet loved best. >> from new orleans to the gulf coast and st. bart's and other places, i still can find magic in most of those places where people don't think there isn't any left. >> stephanie elam, thank you for that report. he brought so much joy to so many people. >> una a ubiquitous legislation. some of his words have become part of our vernacular. it's 5:00 somewhere. >> you can't say the word "paradise" without thinking about jimmy buffett. it's a large loss. >> it sure is. we'll have much more on jimmy buffett's passing in the coming

hours. meantime, labor day marks the end of summer for many people, but mother nature did not get the memo. >> another heatwave is expected to break temperatures in parts of the country. >> cnn's allison chinchar is here to break it down. >> we've got heat building across the center of the u.s. that's going to spread eastward, but also very high potential here for flash flooding out across portions of the southwest. this is video from las vegas, nevada, yesterday where they had record rainfall and even some of the surrounding communities leading to covered roadways and even vehicles trapped for a period of time. we've still got ongoing showers for a lot of the surrounding areas as well. you've got flood watches and flash flood warnings for all of the states in this area. again, not just for the las

vegas areas. the bulk of the moisture is going to spread farther north of las vegas, but you're still going to to have those showers in vegas to contend with. elsewhere heat is going to be the big story. it focuses today across central and midwest. as we go through, you're going to see the heat spread into the northeast and mid-atlantic as well. . look at some of these temperatures. minneapolis topping out at 95. triplegys tomorrow. their normal high is only 78 degrees. they're only going to be 20 degrees above that. chicago looking at those temperatures for the next three days. you have a possible 100 number spread out over the midwest and mid-atlantic not just today, but tomorrow as well as when we go into the holiday. try to find a way to cool off this summer holiday weekend. >> summer going off without a bang. thank you. in just a few hours,

president biden will arrive to tour hurricane idalia. it made landfall wednesday morning and inundated florida's big bend region with 9 feet of storm surge. one firm estimates it could reach $20 billion. >> this comes as fema's disaster fund is entering the red zone. now the biden administration is calling on congress to approve an additional $4 billion for fema's disaster refund. that's on top of a $2 billion request last week for agency funding. cnn's jasmine write joining us from washington. will this help bolster biden's case to congress? >> reporter: well, one authentic for sure, amara, president biden and first lady jill biden will be able to see with their eyes when they land in the next few hours. this comes as they'll be asking

for an additional $4 billion on top of the $12 billion. they say because of this brutal stretch of natural disasters the last few months, maui, florida, things we've seen in the last few weeks and months really bolster their case in needing this extra money to bolster that fema disaster relief fund. so president biden today, we will see him land in florida and he and the first lady will take an aerial tour over the hurricane damage and we'll see them participating in a briefing along with first responders. local volunteers. local and state leaders including senator rick scott, republican in florida, and then he we'll see president biden and the first lady do a ground tour before president biden delivers remarks reaffirming the president's governments commitment, really hoping to bolster his case to congress of why they need more money with

those visual pictures that we'll see on the ground there. >> jasmine, president biden says he'll be meeting with florida governor ron desantis. desantis says it's not happening. is this politics? what's happening here? >> reporter: yeah, well late last night we got word the governor had no plans to meet with president biden, really contradicting what president biden told arlette saenz yesterday. he wrote in the communities so soon after impact, the security preparations alone that would go into setting up such a meeting would shut down ongoing recovery efforts. over the last few days since the hurricane made landfall on wednesday, we heard both president biden and governor desantis trying to be kind to one another, showing they're working in a uniform way to deliver relief to the people of

florida. even on thursday we heard from homeland security adviser liz sherwood-randall who said basically it was customary for these two to meet when president biden is on the ground in florida, looking to the past two times that president biden was in florida. she said, and i want to quote you on this, she say -- excuse me one second. i'm looking for i. basically she said it was congenial, they acted in a congenial way together when working to benefit the people of florida. obviously that's not going to happen this time when we talk to white house officials. they no longer said president biden would be meeting with desantis. they didn't have it on any of their records. so, of course, we will look to see what else will happen when president biden is on the ground today. >> all right. we will be watching with you. jasmine wright, thank you very much. and we're going to be

sitting down with our guest shortly. rudy giuliani is the latest defendant in the georgia sub version election case to plead not guilty. >> trump and others have to appear in state court next week after waiving their right to an arraignment hearing. 19 people have been indicted, but only trump and 11 other defendants have formally entered pleas. we're still waiting for a decision on whether former trump's chief of staff mark meadows' trial will move to federal court. cnn's jessica schneider has more. >> amara and omar, we're waiting for word to find out if trump's former chief of staff mark meadows will be able to move his case from state court to federal court. the judge has received briefings from both sides in the case. it spans 35 pages. all of that briefing was submitted late thursday afternoon.

presumably a ruling could come any time. the judge wanted more clarity on the issue of the numerous acts listed in the indictment against meadows as part of the conspiracy case and whether meadows was performing as a federal officer under one of those acts, could the case be removed. the da, fannie willis, said no. she said the broader conspiracy meadows was involved in. meadows force said if one of his actions touched on his job, it should be removed. we'll see if something happen brs wednesday. then we have defendant kenneth chesebro. he was the manager. he wants them to speed up the discovery for he and his la

lawyers. he said it's impossible to get everything together in two weeks. chesebro's lawyers say they have given willis's team a hard drive for the evidence and they say willis's team needs to speed it up. they can't be ready to go to trial and slow walk the production of documents. then they say they want a solo trial. even though he and sidney powell filed for speedy trials, he does not want to go to trial for a speedy trial. he never had direct contact with her and they're not accused of doing the same thing. a flurry of filings as we wait for a federal judge to act. >> let's discuss more with cnn political commentator and political anchor errol louis. he's the host of the podcast "you decide." a lot of maneuvers to keep up with in the severing of cases of not guilty pleas. let's focus on what the people at home will actually care about

and that's the fulton county judge ruling that the state case will allowed to be televised includes a live stream on you youtube. politically what will that mean for trump? will he be able to take advantage of that and for how long? >> good morning, amara. i think that what it will mean is the public will get a real view of what happened here and give the prosecution at least to give the government an opportunity to make its case in a way that was similar to what we saw in the january 6th committee hearings, which had an amazingly large amount of audiences as well as broadcom prehension by the public as reflected in the polls as the hearings went on. so what we've got here is the sprawling conspiracy case. they've got to tell the story. the prosecution has that burden. as they do that, if they're doing it properly, having things streamed and televised and so forth.

we'll all get to see, what is the story they're telling and the public will be able to judge. i think that's going to be a tremendous opportunity to teach the public what the government's case is and let the public make up its mind. is that going to benefit trump? i don't think the facts will benefit his favor. it will be devastating as person after person take the stand, provide evidence, and make the case this is a real conspiracy. >> i heard one analyst say she definitely sees trump using it as campaign footage to push that footage. but you absolutely raise a good point, that we will see all the evidence as it is laid out. errol, between trump's criminal trials and civil trials as well, you know, he's going to have his hands full. so how do you see trump balancing his legal obligations with his campaigning or does it matter in the end if he's not out campaigning with a staunchly loyal base? >> you know, amara, first of

all, he's married the two. his legal argument is his campaign argument and vice versa. i think, though, if you think back to 2016 in particular but also in 2020, this is not somebody who does traditional campaigning. he's not going to visit every county in iowa. he's not going to run to a bunch of diners and shake hands. that was never how he did things. he'll probably be less impacted by this than you might think. he also has 100% name recognition for all intents and purposes. he's one of the best known people on the planet, so he doesn't necessarily have to get around. the polls already suggest that. his rivals are not coming anywhere near him on the republican side. he's going to be in fine shape to get through at least the first phase of the nominating conference. he might lock up enough super delegates by tuesday and then he can really focus on his legal problems. i think that's going to probably the most likely outcome.

>> and,er ea errol, mitch mcco having a freezing conference. if there's no specificish, why not just come clean? >> well, listen. this is a much larger problem that you and i have talked about before, amara. we have this jarron tock kracy, a an aging leadership at the top of the government. not just president biden but senator feinstein and senator fedorman in his own way. you can't pass a law and tell them what's going on. they have a right to personal privacy the way many of us would want, but at the same time, my goodness, it's not responsible to go on for somebody who has

such a pivotal role in the federal goff and not tell us why he's freezing from time to time. it's very disturbing to watch. the people close to him, not only his family but political allies are going to have to have a serious conversation with him much the way democrats have had to have with senator feinstein. >> i do have to ask you this. in a few hours president biden will be on the ground in florida to see the recovery efforts after hurricane idalia did a number in that state. you heard the back and forth from our jasmine wright about whether or not biden and desantis are going to be meeting. we know that during this meeting to the presidential visits to the disaster zone, there's also a close correlation to the president, the white house, along with local and state officials. what will you be watching for especially as we're still waiting to see if president biden will actually meet with ron desantis? >> you know, i heard the report and it was very disturbing,

amara. look, governor desantis has got to meet with the president of the united states. that's just purely a matter of gosh nance. you've simply got to do it. people's lives are at stake, his safety, obligations, and it all requires observation and meeting with the president. it sounds like what he's trying to do is what happened to governor chris christie in 2012 when he met with barack obama and it killed him politically because republicans are not supposed to deal with democrats and political judgment really worked against him and really contributed to him losing the republican nomination in 2016. but, you know, we can't -- we can't do it that way. i've got a lot of family down there and those people really deserve a governor who's going to do his job and that means meeting with the president today. >> we'll see if politics gets in the way today.

it's just because of the money. but, look, if you do have travel plans this weekend, you're not alone. tsa is expecting a record-breaking 14 million people to take to the skies this holiday weekend. >> and we're sitting right here. aaa also says booking data puts domestic data up 4% compared to last year. and even more notable. international bookings are up 44%. >> wow. cnn aviation correspondent pete muntean is at the reagan national airport with more. >> reporter: it's a climactic end to a record-breaking summer of travel. with a new survey saying more than half of all americans expect to travel for labor day. at chicago o'hare, they're

bracing for a 7% increase compared to last year. the tsa says after this weekend, the summer will set a new air travel record with more than 227 million people screened at airports since memorial day. transportation secretary pete buttigieg said flight cancellations are going down, but the latest numbers from flightaware say flights have been delayed. >> this year we have seen significant improvement. that doesn't mean that the system was immune from some tough travel days this year and this summer. >> reporter: aaa says even still, travelers remain undaunted, booking 4% more domestic trips compared to last labor day weekend and 44% more international trips with destinations like vancouver, rome, and london topping the list. >> you are seeing flights and trips over to europe and down to latin america booming right now with numbers that are significantly higher than what we saw prepandemic. >> reporter: the crowds also stretched to the roads. aaa forecasts popular routes like palm springs to san diego

and the jersey shore to manhattan will hit peak congestion on monday. before this weekend the average price of a gallon of regular gas flirted with a seasonal record set back in 2012. >> like everything else it keeps going up. that's why i'm meeting my family halfway. i would have driven all the way down to plm and back. >> we knew they were going to go up. we knew it. so we filled up before we left jersey. >> reporter: the tsa says friday will go down as the busiest day but that is only the start. the agency says it will screen a total of 14 million people through airports nationwide. pete muntean, cnn, reagan national airport. if you're going to be driving, you're going to be dropping some cash. today's average gallon costs $3.82. with me to talk about it is robert sinclair jr. robert, thanks for being with

us. prices generally cool off as the summer winds down, so what's going on here? >> well, i think we're seeing the effects of global market forces. just recently, beginning of july, saudi arabia and other opec countries announced production cuts of 3.6 million barrels a day and it will continue through this month and possibly through the end of the year, and that led to a jump in crude oil prices. we're at $3.86. i'm sorry. $86 a barrel. that's up from a week ago. as crude goes up, the price of gas lean goes up. but there should be mitigating forces at the end of the summer and the switch to winter gasoline which happens midway of this month. that's cheaper to refine and produce, so there should be some help for beleaguered drivers coming up soon.

>> so supply issues, extreme heat in some cases have played a role. what do you see as a biggest factor in play, and also is this going to stop people from traveling? >> well, the biggest factor is the price of crude oil and also demand. it's interesting that so far to date compared to last year, demand is down nearly 1% compared to last year when we hit an all-time high of 5 dollars perf gallon in june. people don't have the elias techty as far as gas prices. going forward it should be a little bit better, but we're still at a pain point for drivers. 75%, no surprise, said 5 dollars a gallon. going forward it's going to be tough on drivers unless gasoline prices get a lot cheaper.

i think there won't be a lot of nonessential driving going on as we've seen so far this year. >> if if some people's pain prices are $3, yeah, they're hurting. when to you expect prices to cool a little bit. is this an anomry or is this something to start to expect trend-wise as we get into some of these holiday weekends moving forward. >> gasoline prices are very fickle. there's no telling what can happen to them. there can be a rumor that leads to higher crude oil prices. we're still very vulnerable because we're deep into hurricane season and the waters of the gulf are very warm and a storm hitting the infrastructure of the gulf coast can send prices skyrocketing overnight. i think hurricane rita in 2005 that was the case. generally prices bottom out sometime in november, december, january. the cyclical rise and fall of

prices shows them going down at the end of the year and rising as we get toward february and march as we get to the summer changeovers. a little relief could be had for drivers, but it depends on the weather and market forces that are global in nature. >> robert sinclair jr. with the ensigh. i need to talk to you every holiday weekend, thank you. all right. still to come, we're talking about a convicted murderer who is on the run. authorities search for an escaped prison inmate, and we'll tell you where they think he might be and where he's headed. you've changed. so have we. that's why dove b body wash now has s 24 hour renewing micro moisture for contininuous care. dove body wash. change is beautiful. for your most brilliant t smil, crest has you covered. ♪ (laughing) nice! thanks? est 3d white.

convicted murderer dannel lowe kav conte. >> investigator says he's extremely dangerous and could be in the area. he was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, gray shorts, and white sneakers. let's discuss this with cnn's law enforcement analyst chief ramsey. good morning, chief ramsey. what's the strategy in finding him in what is now two days into the search? >> well, there's a few things going on. first of all, they put an alert out to all the surrounding jurisdictions, and i imagine at this point in time now surrounding states and even customs and board patrol because they know in the past he's tried to get to mexico and brazil. the alert is certainly spreading out. right now they still believe he's still within the area, at least within a 6- to 10-mile

radius of the prison. so the strategy right now is to do a grid search we call it, which is a very thorough search of the area. this is largely farmland, some forest areas there too. so they're using drones. they're using dogs. they're using helicopters with heat sensor technology on it to pick up any kind of register of an individual who might be in a heavily wooded area. they're going door to door or farm to farm checking on homes, and they're asking people, of course torque check their homes, to check sheds. one thing, this is a holiday weekend. so you may have people who left for the weekend and not even aware of the fact this individual may have broke into the house and sought shelter there. people need to be very vigilant, very aware. this guy is very, very dangerous. >> that's a good point, that a

lot of people will be gone for the holiday weekend. when they do return, maybe they should be checking their sheds and parts of their home. to that point, charles, the fact officials are calling him extremely dangerous, talk more about that. this is a man who's been convicted of the murder of his girlfriend, and people need to really be cautious. >> when you think about the murder itself and just how vicious it was. he committed the murder in front of her two children. she was stabbed over 30 times. he's also wanted in connection with a murder in brazil. he was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. this guy has absolutely nothing to lose. and that makes him even more dangerous. so people need to be very aware. now, he's a small guy. when you look at the physical destripgs, 5 feet, 120 pounds. from a distance, he could look like a teenager perhaps. people should take nothing for

grant. if you see someone suspicious, someone you don't recognize, call the police, less the police check it out and see whether or not this is a legit situation or not. don't take it upon yourself to try to approach this individual. he is very, very dangerous. >> and look. inmates have used a lot of ingenious methods to escape from prison. what happened here and even more so, where are some of those gaps where we do typically i see an escapee get loose here? >> well, first of all, in this case, i have no idea what happened, but something happened that should not have happened. people should not escape from prison, period. i'm sure they're going to take a look at it. don't lose sight of the fact he should not have gotten out to begin with. there is a lapse in security, serious lapse in security. someone needs to be held accountable. and so i'm sure they're going to look at that. but we need to stay on that because that's a problem.

he's not the only violent criminal in that particular institution, and we need to make sure we don't have anyone else get out of there. but there are a variety of things. sometimes they have help from the inside. sometimes they have dug their way out literally through tunnels. it depends on the situation. people find different ways to get out. we don't know what happened in chester county other than the fact he never should have gotten out, but he did. now the focus has to be on finding this person before he has a chance to harm anyone el. he's going to to have to find transportation. if he's really trying to get back to mexico, he can't do it on foot. he's going to have to get a car, hitchhike, take a car, to something. so people need to be very, very aware of that. >> finding him is one thing and then likely the investigation into how he got loose, but the priority is to find this person again still on the lewis now for days. chief charles ramsey, thank you
