swift may have driven, over 30,000 new voter registrations in 2018. keep in mind this, she has 280 million instagram followers. why is that important? why are instagram followers important? i want you to look here. 18 to 29 years, where do they get their news from sometimes? television, which we are on right now, just 41%. look at social media, this is where the 18 to 29-year-olds are. 69% sometimes get their news from social media. the idea behind swift, she's really popular, she has a lot of instagram followers. let's get her out there focusing in on joe biden saying, vote for joe biden, because she can reach a large audience where 18 to 29-year-olds get their news. >> the national electorate is different than tennessee. >> very far to the right. medium voter, more towards the

center. >> thank you. "cnn news central" starts right now. we are getting new information on the menu of options that president biden is considering this morning on how to respond to the drone attack that left three u.s. soldiers dead. the effort to impeach the homeland security secretary. house republicans moving one step closer to a full impeachment vote as democrats blast them for simply playing politics. never before seen video of the moment the parents of the michigan school shooter saw their son after he carried out the deadly attack. the new details emerging. we will have those details and more. i'm sara sidner with john berman. this is "cnn news central."

this morning, we have new reporting on the range of options being considered by the united states to respond to the deadly drone attack that killed three u.s. soldiers in jordan. among the options, a so-called multi-level approach that could be, quote, sustained over time. u.s. officials say the drone that killed the soldiers was following a u.s. drone as it approached tower 22. that confused u.s. defenses. natasha bertrand has more. a multi-level response, what does that mean? >> reporter: that means the u.s. could undertake a number of options to respond to this attack, given how really brazen it was, the fact this drone killed three u.s. service members and wounded over 40 others. i think what it means is that the u.s. is considering not just

one potential response but multiple, a layered approach that could potentially, they hope, degrade the iran-backed militias for good. what we are told is the u.s. could engage in strikes in iran or syria or both. they could engage in cyberattacks against iranian and iran-backed infrastructure to try to degrade the capabilities. they could impose new sanctions and financial penalties on these groups. in addition to that, of course, there are the iranian and iran-backed naval assets in the red sea that could be fair game for the u.s. to target. there are a range of options here that the u.s. is capable of doing and is weighing. the one that's least likely at this point we are told is that the biden administration is going to actually take that dramatic step of striking inside iran itself. the u.s. said repeatedly, they don't want to go to war with iran. here is what secretary of state

anth antony blinken said. >> we want to prevent this from spreading. we will respond. that response could be multi-levelled, come in stages and be sustained over time. >> in terms of the u.s. service members injured in this attack, we are learning more about the status of three of those service members who were injured and had to be medically evacuated to germany for treatment. we are told according to a spokesperson that one of the service members had critical injuries but all three are currently in stable condition. >> natasha bertrand, thank you. keep us posted from the pentagon. all three soldiers killed in the line of duty were based out of fort moore in georgia. their families want you to know who they were.

the parents of breonna moffett sharing how proud they were. her mother telling her she was waiting for her to call her back when she was killed. >> if we knew what we know now, we would have held on to that phone call as long as possible. i would have got an i love you. make sure that she knew how much we loved her. >> hard to listen to that. 46-year-old william rivers is being remembered as a beloved husband and a true family man. his wife of 11 years says she didn't know exactly where he had been deployed when he left in august. she described him last night as always smiling, always happy, and a very hard worker for his family. the parents of 24-year-old specialist kennedy sanders say

they also spoke with their daughter just hours before the attack. that conversation about a motorcycle that had just been purchased. they hope their daughter is remembered for her service. her sacrifice. and her sweet spirit. >> she would always laugh about everything. i just want people to remember that. even though her time was short on earth, she lived her life to the fullest. she enjoyed her life. >> when asked if he wanted president biden to retaliate for the attack, sanders' dad said, no action could ease their pain, but he knows kennedy would be concerned for the safety of her fellow soldiers. we are live at the white house. president biden is going to be leaving soon. are we expecting to hear anything from him on this particular issue? >> reporter: president biden is set to depart the white house in

an hour. it could give him an opportunity to speak with reporters to offer insight into his thinking about lou how and when the u.s. will respond. president biden is trying to strike this delicate balancing act, trying to come up with a response that would deter future attacks while also preventing a broader regional conflict. one thing the white house has been trying to stress over the course of the past year is that the u.s. is not seeking direct confrontation with iran. those were statements that were made by national security council spokesperson john kirby yesterday, saying the u.s. does not want a war are iran. the president has been working with his advisers, his national security team, trying to come up with how and when the u.s. will respond. officials have said they anticipate this will be a more powerful response than some of the strikes the u.s. has taken against iranian-backed groups in iraq and syria. the previous strikes have not deterred them from taking action

against u.s. and coalition forces. more than 160 times since the october 7 conflict began. president biden is facing a tough test in this moment. he is trying to prevent a regional war from spreading even further, especially in the middle of an election year. we have heard republican lawmakers on capitol hill say they want the president to take a more forceful response against iran, potentially striking within the country itself. then out on the campaign trail, former president donald trump has tried to use this moment to portray biden as weak and accusing him of dragging the u.s. into a broader middle east conflict. these are all issues president biden is balancing at this moment. of course, trying to keep those families of those three soldiers who lost their lives in the attack front and center in his mind as he is going through these decisions. that's what makes this situation so much different from the other attacks that have faced u.s. and coalition forces is the fact that three u.s. service members have died.

we are waiting to hear whether president biden plans to speak with any of the families. we know one of the families, the mother of sanders said they were anticipating a call with the biden administration in the coming days. we are waiting to hear whether president biden has placed those phone calls. he will be in the state of florida for a pair of political fund-raisers. those fund-raisers are venues where the president speaks more freely and candidly about what he is thinking. we will see whether he offers further insight as he is trying to craft this response that officials hope will defer future action -- future attacks like the one on sunday. >> it isn't just about retaliation. had is also about trying to figure out how to keep u.s. troops safe in the middle east right now where there are strikes happening in several different places. thank you so much. joining us now is retired army brigadier general mark

kimmett. let's talk about the range of options the u.s. has that the president is considering. we took these from foreign policy. option one is a strike inside iran. option two is a strike against iran's assets, not in iran proper. option three, broadly speaking, would be diplomacy, sanctions and the like. one at a time. start with strikes inside iran. i want you to discuss what exactly the risk would be here and what you think the reward would be to strike somewhere inside iran proper. >> let's talk about the risk first, because that's the most significant aspect of that option, which is you effectively are putting the united states at war with the islamic republic of iran. the targets that would probably be selected may not be their nuclear facilities. but i would suspect would be the revolutionary guard

headquarters, some of the facilities, perhaps some of the personnel high-valued targets. clearly, a tough response with the highest amount of risk because this would go beyond simply a fight against proxies and now it would be a fight against the government of iran, which is exactly what some of the senators like cornyn and cotton are pushing the president in the direction. >> let's talk about option two then, which is the middle response here, which would be a strike against iran's assets. their proxies throughout the region. i will put up a different map so people can see as we are discussing this and as you outline what the united states could do. where u.s. troops are, there are thousands of u.s. troops in this region operating near these iranian proxies in iraq, in syria, off the coast of yemen. the risk/reward to attacking these so-called proxies? >> first of all, not only the

thousands of american troops but there are thousands of iranian-backed proxies that are involved in this conflict at this point. they are the most likely option, a leadership target inside of iraq, if they can attribute this attack from an iraqi mobilization force and the launch was from iraq itself. we did that a couple weeks ago when there was the attack. there are higher levels that could be attacked. the risk is unique to iraq as we are trying to hammer out a strategic alignment from the coalition for a bilateral response. less risk than an attack on iran proper. we have to think about the relationship with iraq. candidly, at this point, the government of iraq has no reason

to stop this attack if, in fact, that attack which killed american soldiers came from iraq by iraqi mobilization forces and ira iranian-backed forces. >> the last option would be diplomacy here. i don't think anyone expects the united states to sit down with iran and negotiate and hammer out differences right now. there are those who look at the region and look where things are and say, look, we need to leave time for maybe a cease-fire in gaza and any extensive military action would jeopardize that. >> i think that's right. i think there are a few people that are thinking about a dip low diplomatic solution, those that don't want to see the u.s. drawn into a war. there's a low chance of success. diplomacy has not worked in any

number of ways with the iranians or iranian-backed proxies. that may be the least risky, it will be the less successful. >> great to have your insight. thank you very much. next hour, house republicans will move one step closer to possibly impeaching a cabinet secretary, the first time in 150 years. details on their quest to oust dls secretary mayorkas over the border crisis. the secretary of state says there is real hope now that a proposal to get the israeli hostages home could work. hear how hamas is responding. elon musk says his startup has implanted a chip in a human brain for the first time. how this milestone could end up changing lives. those stories and more coming up.

new this morning, hamas is, quote, studying a new proposal for the possible release of hostages and a possible cease-fire. negotiate ors hammered out a brd framework over the weekend. jake sullivan is expected to meet with the families of u.s. hostages at the white house today. alex march kwort is with us. >> reporter: the qatari prime minister came to washington and said there was this broad framework that was being discussed, that progress had been made. i spoke to a source who is familiar with the discussions who essentially broke it down this way.

there would be a pause in the fighting that initially would be six weeks. during that first pause, that is when the remaining civilian hostages would be released. we are talking about women, children who remain, elderly. then we would go on to second and third phases. that pause could be extended beyond six weeks. that's when israeli soldiers would be released, men and women as well as the bodies of hostages who are still being held in gaza. throughout this process, hamas would be expected to demand that palestinian prisoners would be released. initially, three for every civilian hostage. that's the same ratio we saw during the first cessation of hostilities. there would be an expectation that hamas would demand more prisoners in exchange for the israeli soldiers. every source we talked to, every official we hear from says that a lot of details still need to be ironed out.

this is just the broad, general framework that has been delivered to hamas because, of course, they weren't in paris. i asked secretary blinken about this framework yesterday. he called it a strong and compelling proposal and said there's real hope going forward. we are hearing optimism but caution at the same time. >> if you look at the deal, it's a longer pause in fighting and fewer hostages released than the first time, because there are fewer hostages remaining at this point. what does hamas say about this? >> i was told that yesterday, egyptian intelligence took this proposal to hamas. hamas today is saying that they are studying this proposal. they certainly haven't ruled it out. this will probably take a couple days to look at this and come back with their responses. this is where the major sticking point is. hamas wants an end to this war. whatever happens next, they want

a comprehensive deal that will see palestinian prisoners come out, they will release the hostages, but also see an end to israel's war. that's the main priority. that's not what israel is saying. israel is saying it still has the right to go after hamas, to eradicate them as they said. hamas is saying that their priorities are the end of what they are calling the brew utal attack on gaza and the withdrawal of israeli forces from the gaza strip. last time israeli forces just pulled back from population centers. hamas demanding soldiers leave the gaza strip. that's something that israel may not agree to. >> thank you. we have new video revealing in court of the interaction between the oxford high school shooter and his parent when they first saw him after the school shooting. what it could mean for the case to hold them criminally responsible. another member of the president's cabinet is set to have surgery after weeks of

criticism over secretary austin's secret hospitalization. we will talk about tloeshose th coming up.

in san francisco, two people a day are dying from fentanyl. this is a national crisis that demands new strategies. prop f requires single adults receiving cash assistance to enroll in treatment if they use drugs. i know what it's like to lose family to drug addiction. it's too late for some families. but our city needs to do what's necessary to save lives. please vote yes on prop f.

next hour, the house homeland security committee will move ahead with a resolution to impeach dhs secretary mayorkas. this morning, mayorkas is responding directly to that panel for the very first time saying this in a letter addressed to the committee's chairman. your false accusations, it reads, do not rattle me and do not divert me from the law enforcement and broader public service to which i remain devoted. house democrats released their own 29-page report defending

mayorkas and saying they found no evidence of any impeachable offense. >> this is at best a sham. we don't see the high crimes and misdemeanors standard being met. house republicans have clearly turned their ever shrinking majority over to the extremists. this sham impeachment of secretary mayorkas is just another sad example. >> democratic congresswoman sheila jackson lee joining us from capitol hill. thank you so much for joining us. you sit on the house homeland security committee and will be in the room for the hearing today. have you seen any evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors that have been committed by dls secretary mayorkas? >> good morning. thank you for having me. this is clearly the textbook

definition of revengeful impeachment. this is about revenge. i have been in this congress and sat on three impeachment proceedings. all of them had a basis in fact, whether or not there was a conviction basis in some form of fact. but i will tell you there's nothing in the charges that the secretary has violated the law or that he has had a breach of trust. breach of trust is that you have used the government properties, government resources for your own personal benefit. americans understand that. violation of the law is like you robbed a bank. the secretary has done none of those items. frankly, all that the republicans are trying to do is the bidding of the former president to get them a got-you moment. this is tragic for the american people. it does not bear well for getting the job done. that is, passing comprehensive immigration reform or securing

the border, which is what the secretary has been working on for so long. >> do you think this is going to hurt the chances of the senate getting through a bill, hurt the chances of there being a bill that everyone can eventually agree upon? >> i think thoughtful senators who happen to be republican, this may galvanize them to realize that they have got do th -- got to do their job. you have seen the letter from speaker johnson which really is a deficiency in leadership, which is to say, legislation unseen is dead on arrival in the house. i take issue with that. there may be disagreement on both sides of the aisle about the legislation. we owe the american people the responsibility of at least considering it. we have not had comprehensive immigration reform since 1986. ronald reagan signed the last initiative. that has put us in a very difficult situation for legal immigration, meaning those who have come to this country and

waiting for a status of citizenship and those who have fled persecution and have come to this country. this is not the face of the american people or the statue of liberty. what we do today in falsely using impeachment, which people think of high crime and misdemeanor and treason, we set ourselves back even further from committing to real comprehensive immigration reform. again, this is a make believe. this is revengeful. it's extremely sad to abuse the resources of the american people by proceeding with this impeachment. >> i want to ask you, because you did mention, there's a problem. there's no denying that there's chaos on the border. the numbers show the crisis at the border is worse than it has ever been during the biden administration. one of the highest spikes of border crossings during the trump years was in 2019, about

975,000 or so. 851,000 people in 2021. after 2020, after joe biden took office, those numbers have doubled every year since. we are in the beginning of 2024. very, very high numbers. do you think the administration should shoulder some of the blame? >> i think they could explain the circumstances that they confronted. that is, not the necessary resources to have enough border patrol agents or what we call custom and border protection, who are the persons who process individuals, or the resources of courts and the mechanism of the asylum process. it has slowed down the drive of cartels to drive migrants toward the border with false information. we have never had the highest degree of misinformation and disinformation to suggest to individuals fleeing horrible abuse and persecution from their

countries. we just heard of the high rates of gang violence in ecuador and other places. that has driven people for fear of their lives to the border. yet, we have not been able to get republicans to sit down and address some of the laws that need to be put in place and the resources that need to be put in place for biden administration's -- how should i say? apparatus to go forward. secretary mayorkas will do everything to abide by the existing laws. the existing laws are not in place. we have not passed real immigration reform to address the question of the surge toward our southern border. if we look at the world worldwide, we have seen the same surge of migration in other parts of the world. it's a phenomenon that's happening. each country must address it with the necessary resources. we have that ability. but we don't have the cooperation of republicans who have stood in the way every step that we have tried to move forward.

they have taken ten steps backwards. they know that they are doing it only for revenge of what legitimately happened to president trump for interfering with the 2020 election and for the january 6, 2021 insurrection that occurred. we have legitimate reasons for impeachment. their questions -- their revenge immigration combination for impeachment is clearly -- it has no basis in fact. >> thank you so much for coming on, for talking through what is a very, very tough issue that congress can't seem to get through, that comprehensive immigration. there are so many things that need to be addressed. i know you are from a state that deals with it more than most others. i appreciate you coming on. >> we do. we must get to work and do a better job. thank you. >> thank you. a jury linked round-up to

cancer. how much the company will have to pay. cnn in the trenches. russia's army tries to break through ukrainian defenses. we have video from the front lines of the war.

this morning, congressional lawmakers are putting pressure on president biden to respond after three u.s. service members were killed in jordan. iranian-backed militants in iraq claim ed responsibility. with me is senator tim kaine who

serves on the armed services committee. i will start with a question in your wheelhouse. what authority does the president have to respond to this drone attack in jordan without congressional approval? >> a president always has the ability to act in self-defense. doesn't have to come to congress to ask permission for that. that definition of self-defense is somewhat broad. so those who have attacked our troops, if he knows who they are and believes that they are going to do it again, the president can act to stop them. beyond self-defense, it gets murky. there's no current congressional authorization allowing war against these iranian-backed militia groups. so a bipartisan group of colleagues -- i wrote a letter to the president last week asking some strategic questions. what's the strategy here to deescalate?

also the legal authority questions. i think we will talk about those a good bit this week on the hill. >> first question, what reaction if the united states does identify the source of this drone strike, what u.s. response would you like to see? >> well, i think the most natural and probably the most likely response is action directly against the groups responsible for the attack. those are likely iranian-backed militia groups in syria, near the jordanian base where these service members' lives were lost. our hearts go out to them. these are three reservists from georgia, reservists and guards members get these assignments and they are pulled eed away top defend our country. we need to keep their families in our prayers. the most likely response is directly against those who engaged in this drone attack. the u.s. normally has pretty good intelligence about where these attacks are coming from.

the president is going to calculate it. the secretary said we will make sure that there's accountability but at a time and place and manner of our choosing. you don't want to tip anybody's hand or predict what's going to happen. i think that's the most likely response. >> after this initial response, which you would consider to be self-defense, you will continue your constitutional battle to get congressional authorization for action or for military action in that region? >> absolutely. i have been consistent on this with presidents of both parties. i don't think we should be at a war unless it's debated and voted on by congress. that debate is what lets the american public see what's at stake and make their own decisions about whether it's worth it or not. i happen to believe that getting the u.s. involved in another war in the middle east would be a very bad idea. if we learned anything from 2001 to 2021, it's that wars in the

middle east with the u.s. participation cause us a lot of blood and pretreasure without gaining us anything. we are not appreciated for what we do and don't alter the equation for the good. i have colleagues calling for the u.s. to engage in military action inside iran against the iranian government. if they feel that, they should put that on the floor and let's have a debate and vote about it. we shouldn't stumble or slide our way into war in the middle east without congressional robust debate and vote. >> donald trump says this brazen attack is a horrific and tragic consequence of joe biden's weakness. what's your reaction to what donald trump said? >> donald trump is blaming america first. blame america first. if something bad happens around the world, okay, it's the u.s. that's what some on the left say or what some on the right say, it's joe biden's fault. i have seen other republicans follow him like lemmings in

trying to blame this tragedy on america or or joe biden instead of expressing sympathy for the families. not a word of sympathy comes out of donald trump's mouth. it's behavior that's abhorrent. >> today, in the house of representatives, they are marking up the bill which could lead to the impeachment of homeland security secoretary mayorkas. there would be a senate trial. how will you vote in a senate trial? >> well, if i'm a juror, i will listen to the evidence. i will tell you, what the house has put on the table is laughable. i think this is the speaker's atte attempt -- they know it's going nowhere. at the very moment that they are doing this, we are engaged in a really important bipartisan discussion about border reform. who do the republicans in the senate insist be at the table to have the discussion? secretary mayorkas. they understand they knows this

issue backward and forward. when he says here is a reform had that can work, they believe him. at the moment he is trying to do his job, the house is doing this stunt. it's going nowhere and they know it. >> senator tim kaine from virginia, great to see you. thank you for coming on. still ahead, why attorney general merrick garland warns he will have to step away from his duties this weekend. no new trial for alex murdaugh. his attorneys say it was a good day for him. we will explain why next.

her son's actions. cnn's jean casarez joins us now. this is about involuntary manslaughter so it does have to do with her actions, but he was the shooter in this case. what can you tell us about this hearing? >> well, this video is fascinating to watch and look at their demeanors. james crumbley gets an alert on his phone. emergency alert, active mass shooter. he runs to the house because he knows he is just bought his son a gun. his son is not there. he called up the sheriff's department and turned the son in. then you can hear them talking before they go into ethan. his mother says he's never done anything bad. the father starts talking about that mass shooting with the bullets and blood. the mother stopped him and said i think we need an attorney because they knew he would be to incriminate their son.

mother goes into ethan handcuffed in the room. watch their reactions. >> why? why? >> i love you. i love you. i love you. i love you. i love you. i love you. [ bleep ]. >> and that was james crumbley saying "i love you, i love you." here's the big issue this morning. it's really hard to understand some of that, there's more with parents and investigators, they're going to have a transcript that will go to the jury, you know, once they go to deliberations. prosecution wants on that transcript that james was sobbing are but nothing about

jennifer, right? she's on trial now. defense says, no, she's crying, i hear her crying so now there's no transcript to the jury. so the jury has to listen and decipher what they're hearing. >> i was trying to figure out who was crying, whether it was the defendant. i realized they're out of that room. it was -- sounded like the mother, but that could have been james. >> james is sobbing. i've watched this numerous times and jennifer is crying but it's softer crying. >> this case is unprecedented. we haven't seen parents charged in a case. >> with homicide. >> involuntary manslaughter for something that their son did. we will be watching this very closely. it could have an impact on cases. >> and prosecutors just announce they had may rest by the end of the week, wow, going fast, jean casarez, thank you. a jury has ruled that

convicted murderer murdaugh will not by a new trial. the judge said the clerk was, quote, attracted to the call of celebrity but decided that the comments did not influence the jury. cnn's diane gallagher is in column l columbia, south carolina, with the latest on this. diane. >> reporter: yeah, john, it was that very high standard that the defense had to meet, that the judge decided they did not, did the interference, if you will, from the clerk of court becky hill have any kind of impact on the final verdict. the judge determined, no, even after we did hear from some that she talked to them about the case. one juror giving conflicting statements on whether or not her final verdict was impacted. the judge had a lot of strong words for the clerk as well. when she issued her final ruling. take a listen. >> i simply do not believe that

the authority of our south carolina supreme court requires a new trial in a very lengthy trial such as this, on the strength of some fleeting and foolish comments by a publicity-influenced clerk of court. >> reporter: now, look, alex murdaugh immediately shackled after serving the back-to-back sentences for murdering his wife and son. his attorneys say, though, it wasn't necessarily a bad day for them because what was said in court during that one-day hearing can be put in a judicial record. and you can expect them to include that when they revise his conviction. they tell me they think they can win that, either the state of court of appeals or the south carolina supreme or if not federal court. as far as becky hill, that clerk of court is concerned. it's not over for her either.

the state has two open investigations into her for allegations, of course, of jury tampering but allegations that she used her elected position for personal gain. this murdaugh case continues to bring attention here in south carolina. and does not appear to be ending anytime soon. they say it will take about a month for them to get that appeal paperwork together. >> i am sure you'll be there watching every step, diane gallagher, thank you very much. sara. president biden is facing pressure as he calculates how the u.s. will act next against ire iran-backed rebels. lawmakers are learning. and articles of impeachment for homeland secretary alejandro mayorkas. we'll have it live for you. what to watch for, next, on capitol hill. ♪
