jennifer crumbley barely knew a thing about them. >> she was worried and she was concerned and she was panicked, until after, and then it's a different story. why? because she knew she had done something wrong. >> reporter: so the prosecution had 21 witnesses. they had over 400 exhibits. the defense had one witness, jennifer crumbley, but of course all eyes will be focused on was she telling the truth, was she not telling the truth. jurors can deliberate normally until 5:00 p.m., but at this courthouse, they can deliberate through the evening tonight if they want to. >> all right. keep us posted, jean casarez, thank you. "cnn this morning" continues right now. i'm a little bit more scared this time. you know, the warnings, you know, we had a order to evacuate. there's just so much water accumulating here in topanga

creek. it's high, coming on to the road. >> let me be clear, this storm is a weather event. this has the potential to be a historic storm, severe winds, thunderstorms and even brief tornadoes. this is an all hands on deck effort. >> good morning, everyone, top of the hour, i'm poppy harlow with phil mattingly in new york. here's tracking a dangerous situation in southern california with record breaking rain, major flash flooding and mud slides, you're looking at a dramatic rescue this morning in san bernardino county. a rescue team and a boat saved several people who were trapped in this car who were swept away in the flood waters and pinned to a tree. >> as we speak 14 million people across california are at risk of dangerous flooding. the national weather service is warning of potential landslides. you can see the piles of mud and

rocks and debris filling the streets. torrential down powepours have d rain. and you can see how fast the flood waters are. this is a video of a helicopter rescuing people who were stuck on an island nin the middle of river in los angeles county. >> chad myers joins us again this morning. tell us about what you are and feeling and what people can expect throughout the day. >> reporter: it's rainy again. we don't need that. 7 inches of rain fell up the hill, trying to wash down the hill. it's raining heavily. there's a transverse range, a mountain range north of l.a., when you see pictures on tv. you see this land that's just flat, and that area did get flooding. 6 to 8 inches until the streets. the problem is we have thousands of feet of elevation where the heaviest has fallen overnight. up the hills, all of the water is accumulating and coming down into the canyons, and some of the canyons have been washed

away. the roads are complete gone. the problem here is it is still raining. there are places with 9 inches of rain on the ground in automated rain gauges and another 3 to 5 inches still possible today. that puts a foot of water on top of a mountain that eventually has to get back into the pacific ocean. we are really seeing some problems out there. especially in the hills just to the north of l.a., and also to the north of riverside, that's where all the water is coming down the mountains. >> chat myers with the latest, thank you very much. developing this morning, senate lawmakers revealing that long awaited border deal and foreign aid package after months of negotiations. the $118 billion package breaks. and it provides roughly $60 billion for ukraine and more than $14 million for israel. speaker mike johnson called the bill dead on arrival in the house. here's how senator james

langford who negotiated the bill responded to that. >> are we as republicans going to have press conferences and complain the border is bad and intentionally leave it open. if we have the chance to decrease detention beds, deportation flights, lock down the border to change the slooum asylum laws new york city one would have believed it and no no one wants to fix it. >> greg abbott is taking securing the texas border into his own hands. about a dozen republican governors there from across the country flanked him. they were around him at this press conference yesterday to support his stance, forbidding federal law enforcement from entering a park along the border. lauren fox has all of the news from capitol hill. rosa flores is on the border in eagle pass texas. lauren, let's begin with you, and substantiative vely, what i this bill? >> reporter: this bill does make substantial changes to thousand

people who are seeking asylum in this country would be processed. it moves the process along more expeditiously. it also raises the bar as to what you would have to do to qualify for asylum. this bill create ass a new bord protection, shutting down the border if daily crosses for a week average 5,000. that process can begin at 4,000. at 5,000 crossings a day, the administration has to act. that obviously is something that republicans who are supportive of the proposal say would do a lot to make sure and crack down on southern border crossings. mean meanwhile, you have the political reality setting in on capitol hill, a number of republicans have come out opposed to this bill. you had in the house of representatives, majority leader steve scalise saying it will not come to the floor in the house for a vote. you have a number of republican senators railing against this

proposal including senator mike lee of utah who said that the senate actually needs new leadership this plan is so bad, obviously taking an attack at the minority leader mitch mcconnell who has been very supportive of this process. it's really unclear right now in if this bill can get out of the senate, given the fact that senator and republicans are making it clear they are divided on the issue. >> they want federal action on the border. that is what legislation from congress would be. what's their response to this if any at this point? >> reporter: well, i have been talking to people here along the border about their take to this border bill, and, phil, i've got to tell you, there's mixed reaction. some people say it doesn't go far enough, others say it's on point. others are trying to digest it because it's so long. for people on the border, you got to think about what mike

johnson said, this is dead on arrival. what it means for people in eagle pass, the razor wire, like the one you see here will continue to be in their community, and you've got to think about it like this. if you live in new york, you have central park. there are central parks all over the country. we have green spaces in the city we live. for the people in eagle pass, shelby park is their central park, and all of a sudden the state took over the area. they wrapped razor wire around the park, took it over, gates went up and soldiers with long guns were guarding those gaetes in humvees. that was their reality given the border situation. if you think i'm away from the bo border this doesn't impact. this weekend, governors joined greg abbott, and not only were they supporting greg abbott doing all of this taking over city property without the input of citizens, but they said that

they supported states rights to enforce border security. you got to think about it like this, these governors are saying that it's states who should be enforcing immigration law, even though the u.s. supreme court has maintained that immigration is a federal function, and the point here being, poppy and phil, is that so long as congress does not act on the border and doesn't fix the issue, states like texas are going to continue taking matters into their own hands and so we're going to see more of this in their communities. >> now, it was interesting just in a handful of weeks ago that high ranking members of the biden administration went down to mexico to meet with the top mexican officials including president lopez obrador. he's weighing in on what the senate has put forward in terms of this legislation. what is he saying? >> reporter: you know, poppy, this is fascinating. we know that historically, the united states has relied on mexico when it comes to curbing

illegal immigration on the u.s. southern border. there's no question about that. we have always wondered, what is mexico asking for in exchange. that's what we learned a little more about this weekend in a conversation that happened between president jooe biden an the president of mexico. this is according to mexico's presidency office and he said that they proposed, mexicans proposed a multiplatform plan to u.s. diplomats during that meeting, poppy, that you're mentioning and that some of those points on that proposal included $20 billion for development in latin american countries, immigration relief for mexicans who are already in the united states, and the lifting of sanctions for cuba and venezuela, among other things. but the point being here is that mexico is helping the united states curb illegal immigration, and mexico is asking for things in exchange. we'll have to see how that plays out. the other thing that the mexican

president say is so long as the legislation, and he has not comments on the legislation, we're waiting for reaction to that. so long as it doesn't attack the root causes of migration, it's doomed to fail. >> no shortage of complicated dynamics across the board. rosa flores, laying it yout. right now, anthony -- boeing says there is a new issue with some of its 737 max 9 planes. this is different, it's about quality control. we'll tell you the reporting ahead.

welcome back, secretary of state antony blinken expected to land in saudi arabia any minute now. his middle east trip is coming after a weekend of u.s. led strikes on houthi targets. and land attack cruise missiles yesterday, one day after joint u.s. and uk strikes against targets in yemen. >> the strikes have become increasingly common as the u.s. goes after houthi weapons that the iran-backed rebel group has used in attempts to strike israel. the u.n. security council will meet today to discuss the american air strikes in the middle east, secession called for by the russian government. joining us is cnn national security analyst, peter berg. poppy said the perfect thing during the break, you have written several pieces about this that raised interesting points and questions about the strategy here. i want to pull one thing that caught my eye, which is saying you wrote girch the largely

unsuccessful history of such u.s. strikes against iranian proxy groups in the u.s., the u.s. response along with subsequent military action is likely to deter further attacks on american targets and shipping in the region. to tamp down the attacks, the focus needs to be on gaza. walk through what the u.s. response should be, then, to the houthi strikes? >> well, i think there's two different points here, phil, one is, i mean, obviously the strikes against the houthis are degrading their ability to carry out attacks on commercial shipping in the red sea. that's great. the idea that they're going to deter them in the future, i think, is not right. bear many mind, phil, that the houthis have been fighting a civil war in yemen for two decades. the saudis ended the war and conducted 25,000 bombing raids against the houthis. and, in fact, are now in a cease fire sort of peace agreement with the houthis. so the houthis are able to take a tremendous beating.

those bombings raids killed something like 25,000 people. the idea that by launching a few strikes, we're going to deter them and end their relationship with iran, i think, is wishful thi thinking. but i think we have to be realistic about what we're trying to get done here. >> you have made the argument in the last week or so, it's not a question if this is a regional conflict. it is a fact. you point that out in one of your pieces, saying, look, this involves ten countries. dana asked nikki haley about exactly that. the white house position isn't that at this point, right? jake sullivan's position is they are distinct but related challenges. can you deter this if you don't have a realistic assessment of how wide this is? >> i mean, well, the white house is in a tricky position. they have their own pretty much unstated red lines, they attack

targets in iran. well, strategic ambiguity is sometimes helpful, which is, you don't tell your opponent what you won't do. >> right. >> you leave it open as a possibility. on the other hand, you know, it is a regional war. you mentioned ten countries that are either belligerence or have been attacked in some shape or form by belligerence, and the frog in the slowly boiling point of water, and we were at that point, and ultimately, it's not an ideal fix, what tony blinking is doing, trying to get a cease fire, release the hostages come up with a real plan for the day after. defu defunding unwra is a plan because it's keeping gazans fed and housed.

it is a regional war, two, the strikes may not deter iran, and three, then you have to make very hard decisions about what you do knnext. one approach is massive cyber warfare against iran military, which is a, plausibly denial, and b, interferes with our ability to communicate with proxies. that may be happening. we don't know. that's certainly an option that the united states has on the table. >> peter, to your point about strategic ambiguity, listen to this exchange between dana bash and jake sullivan yesterday on cnn. >> you said it's just the beginning, and i just want to clarify, that means that there will be more strikes coming in the next few days? >> what it means is that we will take further action. i'm not going to obviously describe the character of that action because i don't want to telegraph our punches but there will be further action. >> inside iran, would you rule that out at this point? >> look, sitting on a national tv program, i'm not going to rule in and rule out any

activity anywhere. >> was that significant to you to hear him say it? >> yeah, i think that moves the ball incrementally forward. a lot of times the administration has either on background or in public said, you know, we don't want with a war with iran, we're not going after iranian targets. that does leave the door open a bit. >> peter bergen, thank you very much, we'll talk to you soon. this week, the effort remove donald trump from the presidential ballot in colorado, the fight is heading to the supreme court, what the justices could be looking at during oral arguments. we'll get into it. an official who was shot during a string of carjackings in d.c. a man got inside and shot him last week. police say the suspect, artel cunningham shot and killed another man and carjacked two more vehicles before officers fatally shot him. gill worked at the u.s. commodities futures trading

commission, survived by his wife and three children.

i'm daniel lurie and i've spent my career fighting poverty, helping people right here in san francisco. i'm also a father raising two kids in the city. deeply concerned that city hall is allowing crime and lawlessness to spread. now we can do something about it

by voting yes on prop e. a common sense solution that ensures we use community safety cameras to catch repeat offenders and hold them accountable. vote yes on e. things have gotten better recently, but too many businesses like mine are still getting broken into. it's time our police officers have access to 21st century tools to prevent and solve more crimes. allow public safety cameras that other bay area police departments have to discourage crime, catch criminals, and increase prosecutions. prop e is a smart step our city can take right now to keep san francisco moving in the right direction. please join me in voting yes on prop e. so on thursday, the supreme court will hear the case that could determine if donald trump is eligible to be on the ballot.

last month, colorado's high court ruled the former president engaged in an insurrection. it used the 14th amendments insurrectionist ban to remove him from the ballot in that state. for now it will appeal on the ballot as the appeals process unfolds. >> secretary of state of maine reached the same conclusion. a ruling for the supreme court could settle the issue for the country. cnn legal analyst, elliot williams, let's start with the 14th amendment being at the center of this case. what do we think justices are looking for here? >> i think justices are looking for the simplest way to make this case go away. it is very much in their interest, as an institution, to not be seen as putting a thumb on the scale of a presidential election. many of us remember bush v. gore, and the outcome after that case and how the court was regarded by many, perhaps even to this day, as having helped influence a presidential

election. i think there are many ways they can resolve this without weighing the question of whether the president is himself an insurrectionist. >> i think it's stunning to so many people that a question like this would even reach the supreme court, but this is where we are. anyone can listen to these oral arguments, by the way, as they're happening on thursday. what are you going to be listening for? because often times how oral arguments go is how the justices end up deciding this case in terms of who gets the majority and why. >> yeah, john roberts, john roberts, are you listening. i'm looking for sort of his way of asking questions and how he might be trying to steer his colleagues to unanimity. i'm not in the business of pop psychology. i think it's in the interest of the chief's justice to have the court's reputation and integrity preserved here. now, i think the ways they do that are steering to some of the questions that aren't insurrection versus not insurrection. for instance, they could resolve it by saying the constitution

says that congress needs to have weighed in here first, and we can't touch this, so congress take care of it. if not, just put these folks on the ballot and deal with it down the road. there are other ways they can address it as well. >> can we shift to the election subversion case. that has been delayed. we don't know when it's going to happen. it's the thing from the political perspective that people thought was the biggest threat to donald trump. i think lawyers, i don't want to speak for you, but agree with that assessment because they're waiting for the ruling on immunity. walk through what the process is from here. >> now, the big picture point is that the case was argued, i think, about three weeks ago before the d.c. circuit of appeals, one of the most prestigious courts in the country. the fact that it's only been three weeks is remarkable. it can take months and months to bring these cases to a final decision. so to this point, they have still worked very quickly. now, i recognize there's an

election coming and trials coming and many other factors outside the court that are causing this public unease about the decision. now, we came out of oral argument sounding like the judges were unanimous about where they were going to go and find that the president was not immune. they may be negotiating amongst themselves, trying to figure out how to come to a unanimous or strong opinion that they can all agree on. but, you know, to get three really bright juroristsists on same page, 100 page of analysis where they're all in agreement can be quite challenging. let's switch gears and talk about the axios reporting, that robert hur, the probe to remind people is in biden's handling of classified documents, some in the garage, his report, which he's required to write for the public to read could come forward soon, and axios is concerned, the fact that a report like this might have more detailed pictures.

i wonder what you're looking for in this report. >> same thing, it's the optics, it's not the legal question. and to be clear, there's no indication based on what was publicly reported about what was found at president biden's residences that there's any likelihood of anyone being charged with a crime here. it's highly unlikely. being sloppy is not the same as being potentially criminal. and there will be a rush to create an equivalency between former president trump's conduct p president biden's conduct. number one, upon hearing of the presence of sensitive documents, president biden and his team immediately moved to bring authorities in, and number two, didn't obstruct the investigation allegedly. that's vastly different than former president trump's conduct. people will see them as one in the same, particularly if as you said, poppy, those photographs come out. if you see boxes of photos, boxes of sensitive documents in president biden's garage or

whatever else, i think there will be a rush to say, it's the same as donald trump. it simply isn't. it's just not the same under the law. >> always good to see you my friend, thank you. we are getting new reaction to the bipartisan deal in the senate. 40,000 migrants have arrived in denver over the last year. the denver mayor joins us next as the city implements new rules on sheltering migrants, next.

welcome back, cities across the country this morning are closely watching what congress will do now that the bipartisan border deal has been unvaieiledn the senate. in addition to tougher asylum deals, this bill comes for $1.4 billion to go to cities overwhelmed by the migrant crisis, cities like denver where migrants are sleeping in tents in the bitter cold city. it has about 700,000 people and 40,000 migrants who have arrived in the past year. the problem is so severe that starting today the city is going to enforce a limit on the number o of days migrants can stay in the city-run shelter. families can stay for 42 days

without being removed. individuals without children can stay for 14 days. we are joined this morning by denver mayor, mike johnston. thank you very much. you have been an important and loud voice on the issue. you wanted $5 billion for cities like yours in terms of aiding these migrants. this has 1.4 billion. do you support the package as a whole? >> the measure has come out last night, i have not read the entire text. what we were looking for is a bipartisan deal that would help advance the crises we're seeing on the ground. we need resources to support the work. we need increased access to work authorization, both of which we're excited to see in the bill. we don't expect it to be perfect. we know americans have voted for divided government. they expect to see compromise. will everything i want be in the bill, probably not, but will this advance the security of the border and the safety of the

cities and the humanitarian response we're trying to put together. we know we can support newcomers in being successful here. we need resources to do that, we need work authorization. anyone who wants to know what the crisis look like come to cities like denver. we're at the breaking point. we don't have space in shelters. we don't want people on the streets, but without resources we don't have a choice. >> we were showing our colleague's piece from denver. on the week authorization, aubs couple of weeks ago, there's nothing more un-american than having someone come toll country and telling them they cannot wor work. this would make it easier to get work authorization after they pass a preliminary asylum interview, and do you think that depose far enough in terms of expediting work permits? >> we'd love to have people be authorized to work the moment they arrive in the city, and then we can put them to work.

they can support themselves. that's all they ask. every migrant says, i don't need charity or support. i want the ability to work. i get calls from ceos every day who want to employ workers who have hundreds of open jobs in the city. we think that's the most important step. we know right now, the tragedy of this broken system is these folks can comply for asylum, have to wait six years for that case to be heard and not be able to work in the interim. that's not dignified for them, not sustainable for us. accelerating the access to work is critical. >> sounds like it's a step. you don't think it goes far enough. is the city of denver, are you considering something you talked about recently, which is whether the city itself could employ migrants? >> i mean, we're looking at every possible option. we think the most important option is bipartisan federal action here that would both solve the federal challenge on work authorization, that would provide resources. we think with the federal help we can navigate this and

navigate successfully. if the federal government does not succeed in bringing resources to us or work authorization, we look at every option. we're not comfortable having a city where we have moms and kids sleeping on the street in tents, and we're looking at a $180 million budget without support. and both of those options are unacceptable. >> let's listen to what a migrant who was sleeping outside in 20 degree weather, speaking to our colleague, shimon. >> reporter: he's telling us he needs a warm place to stay. it's 20 degrees or so. there's no place to go, he says. and you can die from the cold here. you can. it's going to get much colder. you have to go inside, sir. >> today, as i mentioned at the top, the city is going to start reinforcing those limits on how long people can stay in city-run sh shelters. is there enough private shelter space or do you fear some of those pushed ouch the city-run

shelters are going to be right back out there in the cold and in tents? >> we have been working hard to connect people to housing services and resources. we have been very successful there. there are about eleven families today who we don't have connected to services. we will have back up congregant shelter sites. we're doing everything we can to be responsive. what we need is support from the federal government to solve this challenge, without the ability to work or the ability to have federal resources and numbers, it makes it hard to solve this. for folks on the far left or far right who aren't sure this is a pragmatic solution, the question is does this materially help cities like us and materially help newcomers at risk of being on the streets, and i think this proposal can help this. >> there was a city council measure that would ban city officials from clearing out the encampments of migrants living in tents when the weather is freezing. you vetoed that measure on friday. can you explain why?

>> yeah, and this is not directly related to our migrant population. this was our efforts we're working on to help bring homeless people off the streets and into housing. over the last six months, we have had historic success in declaring a state of emergency and moving mrore than 1,100 people off the streets into transition housing. that has been very successful. we have closed the encampments in downtown denver, which most american cities don't have. we have been successful. we haven't need to perform sweeps in cold weather, and don't plan to. what we want to do is close encampments and put people in housing. we share the same goal, get folks off the streets and into housing. we want to make sure we can be as aggressive as possible on that. >> last year when you were running for mayor, you stood up an affirmation when asked if you would ban sweeps in cold weather. this is that moment. >> will you stop sweeps when it's under 32 degrees fahrenheit or freezing weather? i'm seeing lisa, i'm seeing

jesse, terrance, chris, mike. >> what has changed since that? >> there are two different issues at stake here. one was about what we call large encumbrance removals, if you have to move an enkamplment of 15, 20, 25 people, those require a formal 7-day posting and notice in denver under our agreement. we have a camping band that the voters have endorsed by 80%, which says that individual people, one or two people in a tent cannot put up a tent in front of someone's home or business and stay in perpetuity. it allows us to continue to do that. that's very different from one or two tents than it is for a large encumbrances or large encampment. this conflated these two issues, in places where they have better access to services like bathroom and trash pickup, we're providing in the broader encampments. >> denver mayor, mike johnston, please join us again soon as we

see what happens following the moves in denver today. appreciate your time. >> thanks so much for having me. immigration could play a role in the special election to replace former new york congressman george santos. republican phillip faced tom swazy, used to represent the district before resigning to run for governor. in 2022, republicans won all four congressional seats on long island helping them win the majority. election day is next tuesday. it could reveal whether attitudes have shifted on crime and the economy. cnn's congressional correspondent manu raju spoke to both camps, and reports on how national politics is impacting this local race. >> reporter: george santos's expulsion left the gop, and democrats emboldened. eager for a pickup that joe biden carried by eight points in 2020. with experienced congressman, tom swazy on the ticket.

now a problem. democrats fear he is slipping. and political newcomers mazi pillup on the rise ahead of next week's special election as he faces an onslaught on immigration. but the migrant crisis visible in the queens and long island district. >> he is the one responsible for the open border. >> it's forced suozzi to cut two ads defending himself. and holding a dueling event nearby pillups to press for bipartisan action. >> all she does is republican talk points. she's on the conservative party line. >> reporter: and in an area with a heavy dose of independent voters and conservative democrats, the gop tried to tie him to an unpopular biden. >> democratic brand is in trouble here. and we have to do a lot to overcome that. >> reporter: why is the democratic brand in trouble

here? >> we have a crime in new york, or had a crime in new york city, effectively weaponized by the republicans. immigration has become a hot butt button issue here. they're not only trying to tie it to joe biden, but the squad. tom suozzi is a member of the squad, a far lefty. >> reporter: what about biden sfaesome. >> -- specifically. >> reporter: joe biden is under water and so donald trump. they're both unpopular candidates. >> reporter: would want to campaign with biden? >> i can guarantee the president is not coming to campaign here. >> reporter: this is a huge seat. don't you think the president could be helpful? >> i don't think it would be helpful, just as i don't think donald trump would be helpful to my opponent. >> reporter: but pillup feels differently, welcome donald trump to join her on the stump. >> if he comes to help me, i will appreciate that. >> reporter: an israeli military veteran is actually a registered democrat. and has only served as a county

legislator since 2021. >> so many other immigrants doing the same things but the democratic party left me and others. >> reporter: she won't answer this. >> you haven't said if you voted for the former president trump in 2016 and 2020, why not? >> it happened two years ago, i wasn't elected official, i'm trying to focus on this, and i'm going to try to focus on november 2024 election. >> reporter: now says she'll back trump if he's the nominee, as she defends him from 91 criminal charges. >> i don't want to answer. he was great president. he did great things. and listen, right now, what's happening with trump, all this with d.a. bragg, they are politically motivated to run after him. >> reporter: do you have the same concerns about his effort to overturn the election? >> i know that he didn't commit any crime. they are politically motivated. >> reporter: do you think he was responsible in any way for what

happened on january 6th? >> as i said again, he's going through the process right now. this is again the same people who politically motivated trying to run after him. it is such a dangerous thing for our country. we have to stop it. >> reporter: suozzi is hardly as effusive of the leader of his pa party. >> i would like the president to do a better job on immigration. >> reporter: if a pollster called you up, would you approve? >> i would approve of a lot of things he's done. >> reporter: tightening an already razor thin majority. the democrat haves out spent the gop by $40 million on the air waves. suozzi does not embrace that attack as some democrats fear that labeling her as maga could actually energize the gop base in a low turnout election. >> we don't know what she is. we don't know what she stands for. >> reporter: do you consider

yourself a maga republican? >> i don't know what's maga republican. >> reporter: in my interview, i talked about other key issues in the race, including about her views on abortion. she says she does not support a national ban on abortion. although she also said that she does not support codifying roe v. wade. she says the decision should be left to the states and she indicated that she supported the supreme court's dobbs decision on guns. she says she does not support people having access to automatic weapons. those of course are restricted already, pretty heavily under federal law but would not support a ban on semiautomatic rifles, something known in washington as the assault weapons ban. and for suozzi himself, he recognizes this is going to be an extremely close race. he told me it is a pure toss up. guys. >> our thanks to manu raju. taylor swift caps a stratospheric year with a historic win at the grammys and

this morning, boeing 737 max 9 plane faces a new problem exactly a month to the day since part of a max 9 blew out during an alaska airlines flight. the airplane maker says it discovered issues from a key supplier for its best-selling plane. our aviation correspondent pete muntean is following this story. what does this mean? >> reporter: this is significant, phil, another black eye for boeing as it tries to clean up its reputation after the blowout last month on a 737 max 9. now boeing says it has found some misdrilled holes on some

737s still on the production line in renton, washington. it's slowing down production, which means delayed deliveries of new airplanes. not good. here is the new memo to boeing emp employees. he says, "while this is not an midfield flight safety issue and 737s can continue operating safely, we believe we have to perform rework on about 50 undelivered planes." he says the goal is to go slow to get it right but insists these issues are the result of work by an unnamed major supplier to boeing. we have reached out to spirit air, which built the 737 max 9 fuselage. boeing says some suppliers are delivering incomplete work prior to assembly. the faa is holding a teleconference with reporters about its audit of boeing's quality control. tomorrow the faa administrator appears before lawmakers who have specifically asked for him

to address its oversight of boeing. and by midweek, we could see a preliminary report from the national transportation safety board on alaska airlines flight 1282, the incident that kicked off all of this renewed scrutiny of boeing. the ntsb chair says the report is in its final stages. also in this memo, boeing addressed its so-called quality control stand-down that happened the week before last when it suspended production for an entire day in renton. it gathered more than a thousand improvement ideas from workers, and boeing is ordering new tools and stands so workers can access the planes on the production line more easily. >> all right. pete muntean for us in washington. thank you. historic moments and big surprises at last night's grammys. taylor swift making history as the first person to win album of the year four times after announcing a brand-new album earlier in the program. >> miley cyrus giving a show-stopping performance and taking home her first grammy,

plus exciting appearances by some music legends. elizabeth is live in los angeles with more. what a night. with are we surprised about taylor's announcement? >> good morning. you know, i don't think we can ever be surprised with taylor. she is known to make these huge announcements at award shows. but of course everybody was shocked that she said she has a new album coming on april 19th. i don't know how she has the time to do it all. she's been on the tour. she's been out v at a lot of football games. hopefully we'll see her at the super bowl. now we have seen her make history becoming the only artist of all time to win four times for album of the year. but, again, also making this huge announcement that she has a new album. now another moment that involves taylor that everybody is talking about, when she won that historic award for album of the year, she was presented by celine dion. she was the big surprise of the

night. of course celine has been very open about her recent health struggles with stiff person syndrome. when she gave taylor the award, a lot of people calling out taylor for not acknowledging celine at all on the stage. now, afterwards, we did see the two take a photo backstage. so, it seems like all is well with them. but it's definitely got people talking this morning. >> the world can exhale now. what were other moments of the night? there were a lot of them. >> reporter: there were a lot of moments. as we saw, miley cyrus having a huge night, billy eilish winning a big award, and victoria monet winning for best new artist. there we sene miley. i was in the room last night, and miley really just had a great night but also a moment everyone is talking about. jay z being honored for a lifetime achievement, but he's getting attention for something he said about beyonce.

let's take a look. >> i don't want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more friends than everyone, and never won album of the year. even by the own metrics, that doesn't work. think about that. the most grammys, never won album of the year. that doesn't work. some of you don't belong in the category. >> the audience was really shocked, i have to tell you. and beyonce looked shocked, but there jay z is calling out the recording academy but standing out for his wife. >> usually a pretty good policy. eliz elizabeth, thanks so much.
