2:00 am
you got us t-mobile home internet lite. after a week of streaming they knocked us down... ...to dial up speeds. like from the 90s. great times. all i can do say is that my life is pre-- i like watching the puddles gather rain. -hey, your mom and i procreated to that song. oh, ew! i think you've said enough. why don't we just switch to xfinity like everyone else? then you would know what year it was. i know what year it is.
2:01 am
right now, house republicans fail to impeach the border boss, fail to deliver an ally in need and they will fail to advance an immigration deal that they themselves demanded. plus an appeals court reveals that donald trump is not immune from prosecution. had what might the supreme court say. and the chair of the republican national committee offers to quit amid tension from trump. good morning to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm kasie hunt. it's wednesday, february 7th. it's 5:00 a.m. here in washington, where house republicans were delivered a dramatic and really embarrassing defeat on the house floor last night. they failed in their efforts to impeach homeland security secretary mayorkas over his
2:02 am
handling of the southern border. >> the resolution is not adopted. >> there was so much uncertainty over who would support the effort and three house republicans ultimately decided to vote with democrats against this. those three congressmen brought the vote to a tie. that is until democrat al green, who had been absent after recovering from abdominal surgery, appeared at the very last minute rolling into the chamber in a wheelchair. still in hospital garb and without shoes to cast a decisive last vote. what a scene. and we haven't even gotten to what else happened with the republican party yesterday. the likely nominee donald trump declared not immune from prosecution for trying to subvert the election. there's the border security bill full of conservative priorities
2:03 am
that sets to tank in senate, and the republican national committee has so much less money than they normally do that their head announced she's going to quit and will likely be replaced by someone who led stop the steal efforts. . that person hand picked by donald trump. it's a lot. let's bring in max cohen a congressional reporter for punchbowl news to talk about all this. good to see you. you were on the hill yesterday as this all went down. can you describe the scene. al green being led in in a wheelchair in hospital scrubs. i think we should just underscore for people this was a bill that house leadership, the new speaker mike johnson was pushing on israel aid. he couldn't get that through. and then this is a house republican-led effort to impeach mayor cans. and they couldn't pull it off. >> it's incredibly correct. we have two setbacks here and two instances where house republican leadership could not
2:04 am
count the votes or even worse, they knew the votes would fail and still wept through with it. it's really mind boggling managerial strategy of the house. it's a slim majority, but they repeatedly shown internal infighting will sink some of their top priorities. quickly on the vote itself on mayorkas. i was right off the vous floor. it looked like it would narrowly pass, and then al green emerges from an elevator in a wheelchair. no one knew he would be there that day except democrat you can leadership. most staffers i talked to expected him to miss that vote. thus the three republican no votes would not sink, but it really was a dramatic moment. staffers were total thely stunned. you saw that clip of mike johnson gaveling in he was incredibly frustrated because
2:05 am
this is a priority for him. >> for sure. is and again, this is all due to the gop majority is so very narrow that the vote tall thelies depend on how many people are absent, which can be confusing for some people sometimes. there's a question about what happens next. because again, the majority is so narrow. steve scalise was absent. he might be automobile to come back. do you think the plan is for the speaker to bring this up again, or what else are we going to see on the mayorkas front? >>s that's my understanding. this is a temporary setback, but we expect mayorkas to be impeached as soon as next week. scalise is undergoing kcancer treatment in louisiana, but i believe leadership is going to say we need you back. he will come back and vote. in the end, may courtcinco de m cass will be impeached, but they didn't have to do this now. they knew scalise was out. why not wait? that's what many republicans are asking their leadership.
2:06 am
why have these unforced errors. >> to this point, that's my big picture question here. mike johnson is still a relatively new speaker. he's one of the most inexperienced members to take the gavel in quite some time. what is the behind the scenes around the jobs he's doing. are people raising questions? >> they certainly are. he got the job because kevin mccarthy was booted out. he never really had to make decisions of consequence before ascending to the speakership. let's be clear. it's a very tough job. this is an unruly majority. it's incredibly thin with all the retirements on the vacancies. he has no margin for error on most votes. but with that being said, there are these errors that seems to be popping up. he might face a motion to vacate depending on what happened with the government funding. he's in a tough spot, but people in leadership working for johnson are questioning why he keeps failing on a very public
2:07 am
stage with these unforced errors. >> really interesting. lot me ask you about what's next for the overall border immigration come pr miez. it's set for a test vote. there were reports from the hill that when republicans were meeting to talk about this behind closed doors, there was actually screaming overheard, yelling overheard. what is the level of emotion among republicans, james langford worked so hard for this. there's all kinds of conservative priorities in this bill. >> the langford situation is fascinating. this is a conservative republican, no one can accuse langford of being a moderate or and he's been hung out to dry by his fellow republicans on this issue. they have abandoned his border bill. and i was at that press conference yesterday with mitch mcconnell. in a stunning reversal of his own desires, he acknowledged
2:08 am
this bill is dead. this is a bill mcconnell pushed for. he gave langford the power to negotiate it. even though he supports it, he knows that because donald trump is opposed to it, crucially because mike johnson pledged to never bring it to the floor, they can't move forward. we will see those soon that senate majority leader chuck schumer will try to move that supplemental funding without being attached. that's the next step. >> max cohen for us, thank you. next up here, nikki haley's presidential campaign is already reacting to the loss last night in nevada's gop primary. voters opted for none of these candidates on the ballot. that was an option. the state-mandated primary not officially part of thement nominating process and doesn't award any delegates. a spokesman says even donald trump knows when you playpenny
2:09 am
slots, the house wins. we didn't both tore play a game rigged for trump. we're moving ahead to south carolina and beyond. nevada holds its caucus thursday. donald trump assured of winning the 26 delegates because he's the only major candidate on the ballot there. cnn projects joe biden is the winner of nevada's democratic presidential primary. he will collect all of the state's delegates. up next here, we have a shakeup at the rnc. the chairwoman offering to resign under pressure from donald trump. plus trump's next move after a federal appeals court made it clear he's not immune from prosecution. and then this. another black eye for boeing. new findings about the door plug that blew out mid-flight.

2:14 am
welcome back. right now, secretary of state antony blinken and the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu are meeting behind closed doors in tel aviv. it comes as hamas leaders respond to a proposal that calls for the release of hostages and a sustained cease-fire in gaza. both israel and the u.s. now reviewing that response. blinken spoke with qatar's president on tuesday, one of the key mediators of the negotiators and called the response positive. president biden had had a slightly different take. >> there's some movement. there's been a response from hamas, but it seems to be a little over the top. >> some honesty there. elliot joins us live from london. good morning to you. what do you make of the president's comments there? >> first of all, i think president biden had only just about seen that proposal by
2:15 am
hamas and secretary blinken an hour or so earlier, so perhaps hadn't had a huge amount of time to digest it all. the focus is more on president biden stumbling over his words and saying position instead of hahs mass to begin with. but president biden's reaction there is anything to dpo by. he thinks that hamas' proposals are a little over the top. one wonders what the israeli government is going to make of. they have outlined their red lines in terms of releasing thousands of terrorists. that would be a red line. and saying that israel is very much unlikely to or not going to deviate where its objectives of destroying hamas, and preventing it from continuing to govern. and hamas until now been demanding a cease-fire and withdrawal of troops. we understand we were told by salesman familiar with negotiations that's not one of the key demands in this
2:16 am
proposal. but the devil will be in the detail we have hamas' proposal. u.s. and israel are studying it, and a counterproposal will be expected from israel in due course. >> so what actually are the keep areas of negotiation. the other is the potential length of a cease-fire. am i missing anything? how do you understand the landscape of the back and forth here? >> the parameters were established in paris with the u.s. and egypt and qatar. outlining the framework, mainly hostages being release d. let's not frgt they have been held in captivity since they were abducted four months ago. so the release of those hostages in exchange for the freeing of prisoners and there would be phases. first would be women and civilians and children and then
2:17 am
we would see soldiers and bodies released by hamas. and israel would release minors and other palestinian prisoners. but hamas would be want wanting to see some high level prisoners being freed as well. perhaps those that israel would describe as blood on their hands. the broad parameters are this in terms of hostages and also more humanitarian aid going in and some kind of cease-fire. but as i say, the devil will be in the detail in terms of the kind of prisoners that hamas has demanded to be freed if they are just too high level for israel to count, and the amount of pause or complete cease-fire that hamas will be demanding noord to get a deal across the line. israel has its own are red lines. there's hope they will had meet in the middle. a bit of optimism that a deal can be done at some point in the future. >> the families of those hostages waiting more ly than probably any of us. thank you very much for that. still ahead here, a michigan jury hands down a verdict against a school shooter's

2:22 am
quick hits a across america. the rnc chairwoman expected to step down later this month after the south carolina primary. source tell cnn she's already discussed her plans with donald trump after publicly questioned her future. >> with find the defendant guilty of involuntary manslaughter. >> jennifer crumbley found
2:23 am
convicted on all four counts. her teenage son killed four classmates in michigan in 2021. for the first time in the u.s., a parent of a school shooter has been held directly responsible for the crimes their child committed. and a bomb shell report reveals four the bolts on the 737 max 9 were missing last month when the door plug blew out mid-flight. boeing acknowledges responsibility and says they are taking new actions to improve the way they make the plane. conditions are improving slowly across california as much of the heavy rain and snow moves over the rock eyes and four corners region. 10 million people remain under widespread flood threats after a powerful storm that brought days of rain, high winds, flash floods, dangerous mud slides including 500 in los angeles alone. at least four people have died due to falling trees and thousands are still without power in the north and along the coast. meteorologist allison chinchar
2:24 am
is tracking it all for us good morning. how is the recovery looking so far? >> a little slow. honestly, there's still rain in the forecast. that's going to limit how quickly they can get in and clean a lot of this it up. this was a very moisture-rich system that moved through california. it's starting to spread into the rockies. and again, look at the tremendous amount of rain that fell across several of the areas. bel air, california, over 13 inches. even downtown los angeles, picking up over 8.5 inches. as we said, it's still raining. nowhere near the amount of rain we have seen the last few days. but still, even at this point, half an inch, it's going to exacerbate the flooding in southern california. we're starting to see more of that moisture spread into eastward states as well. you still have some of the flood watches and warnings in effect with several of these expected to come back down as we go through the next few hours. here's an overall scope. you can see still some rain
2:25 am
showers in southern california. a new storm making its way into northern california bringing more moisture there. and some rain and snow across the intermountain west through the day today. snow is still going to be a concern. not just for california, but also several of the neighboring states where you could pick up a foot of snow before all of this finally begins to exit the area. so here's that new system diving back down. it's going to continue off to the east. nowhere near the amount of rain, but it is still going to bring additional rainfall and snow to portions of california. they really don't see a definitive break until we get to friday of this upcoming week. so until then, you're still looking at an extra inch of rain and up to a foot of snow. >> allison chinchar, thank you. up next here, a stuping defeat for house republicans. they fail to impeach the homeland security secretary. and a federal appeals court
2:26 am
rejkting donald trump's claim of absolute immunity.
2:27 am
2:28 am
2:29 am
2:30 am
everybody knows that immigration is the graveyard where political careers go. >> garng, thank you for being up early with us. i'm kasie hunt. 5:30 on the east coast. a series of high-profile failures for republicans this week. >> the tresidolution is not adopted. >> house republicans efforts to impeach hthe homeland security secretary going down in flames. three members of their own party joining democrats to sink the effort.
2:31 am
strike two for republicans on tuesday. the house failing to pass a stand awe loan package for $17.6 billion in aid for israel. there was opposition from both republicans and democratic leaders. and strike three, the border security deal that wasn't. donald trump's strong arming republicans to kill their own bill after four months of negotiations. >> we had a very robust discussion about whether or not this product could ever become law. and it's been made pretty clear to us by the speaker that it will not become law. >> let's bring in congressional reporter for the associated press, good morning, good to see you. let's start on the stunning defeats on the house floor. what were your take aways from watching that unfold with al green coming in at the last minute surprising republicans
2:32 am
and really hand ing the relatively rookie house speaker some pretty embarrassing moments. >> yeah, we have spent a lot of time in the house chamber witnessing unprecedented, historic moments in the past year to say the least. but even by that standard, sitting in the chamber yesterday and watching all of this unfold, impeachment of a cabinet secretary for the first time in 150 years, normally speakers make sure they have the vote on a stunning and life-changing decision to impeach a cabinet secretary, but that was not the case. mike johnson knew going into that vote he had at least two, maybe three detractors, that's enough considering the absence. what he didn't know is that democrats seeing the huge moment they would go and drag poor al
2:33 am
green, who just had surgery, into the house floor. he came in wearing no shoes and straight from the hospital. we have seen people being drug in for votes in the past year because their margins are so slim, but even by all of those standards, it was a stunning defeat for house republicans. >> i do wonder what al green's doctors were saying when house democratic leaders were in there saying, hey, we have to get this guy over here. we have to yank him. so let's talk about what happens next because there is this question, there's a special election going on in new york set for next week to replace george santos. it's very close. it could impact whether or not this impeachment is able to go forward depending on if johnson hurries up before the end of the week. we could see something
2:34 am
different. here's what the republican candidate had to say about whether she would vote to impeach mayorkas. watch. >> he absolutely failed. it'ses a grace gays. definitely my comments here for impeachment. >> she says she's a yes vote on impeachment. how does this election going to impact what johnson does next on this mayorkas question? >> as of right now, house democrats begin their yearly retreat today. so they are only plan ning on voting this morning and leaving for that retreat for the rest of the week. so it is unlike ly that they wil come back to vote from impeaching mayorkas this week, but they are waiting for
2:35 am
scalise, who has been out getting cancer treatments. he's expected toment come back as soon as next week, but again, the more time you give, the potentially more detractors could add to that list of three, but i think it's clear that mayorkas will eventually get ill peached. the timing of when and how soon johnson will try to erase the memory of last night from his political career is to be seen. >> this does raise questions for me. you heard mcconnell talking about the border deal. they spent months negotiating this package. it's something that mitch mcconnell thought was a good thing to do. there are all kinds of conservative policies in that bill. and donald trump came in and basically said, i don't want this. so here we are. it basically completely fell apart.
2:36 am
having covered a number of these in washington over the years, usually democrats get something in return for these border security policies. they have included a path to citizenship or in some cases amnesty for people in the country. this doesn't have any of that in there. are republicans basically shunning their best chance to actually put policies in place that they say that they think would be good for the country? >> this is a once in a decade conservative border policy legislation. as you just mentioned, there are no immigration pathways for dreamers, which has been a democratic priority for the last 10 to 15 years. there are no -- it's in a very restrictive and extremely conservative bill that will not come again. the last time, as i'm sure you covered, was in 2013, when they came up with this deal that gave something to democrats, gave
2:37 am
snog republicans, and it all fell apart in the house. it seems really stunning that republicans got nearly every everything they asked for. democrats gave in on everything. know ing that the situation at the border is really bad. knowing they could take this political deficit from them off the table in an election year, but we have seen all of that fall apart. it is really stunning to watch. >> 2013, that was back in the gang of eight. what happened then followed by a government shutdown led by ted cruz presaged the political era we were about to enter. thank you. senators set to vote on the bipartisan to advance the bipartisan security bill today, even if that were to go forward. what would the bill do? >> plus taylor swift in tokyo kicking off the asia leg of her tour. swift mania, that's ahead.
2:38 am
2:39 am
2:40 am
i think he's having a midlife crisis i'm not. you got us t-mobile home internet lite. after a week of streaming they knocked us down... ...to dial up speeds. like from the 90s. great times. all i can do say is that my life is pre--
2:41 am
i like watching the puddles gather rain. -hey, your mom and i procreated to that song. oh, ew! i think you've said enough. why don't we just switch to xfinity like everyone else? then you would know what year it was. i know what year it is.
2:42 am
welcome back. it is 5:41 a.m. here on east cost. and donald trump is not immune from prosecution for any of the alleged crimes he committed while he was president. that's the unanimous ruling of the federal appeals court. three d.c. circuit judges flatly rejecting trump's argument he should nothave to face trial on subversion charges. he has until monday to appeal the ruling. tomorrow the supreme court will hear arguments in a landmark decision from colorado's top court that ruled the 14th amendment's insurrectionist ban does apply to trump, knocking him off the state's ballot. let's bring in a criminal defense lawyer and former district attorney in the manhattan da's office. it's wonderful to see you the phrase that stood out to me in
2:43 am
this immunity ruling was citizen trump in them saying pretty directly, this man is no different than anybody else in this context. they really did take a sweeping view and talk about previous presidents, how they clearly have viewed that they could be prosecuted. nixon was pardoned. when this came down, what did you make of how they framed this and how that sets this up potentially for the appeal to the supreme court. >> they were very thorough. they were very clear. there's no questions left unturned here. the answers they felt to give, president trump, as you just noted, president trump sitting in that oval office, but if he's not, he's not that person anymore. he's citizen truch. he doesn't have this blanket categorical immunity for
2:44 am
everything he did. there are some immunities for civil actions. there are some there and the court acknowledged that. but this is quite different. it's not as if trump said he would have a chilling effect on future presidents to do things within their role absolutely not. this was very as well as two democratic and liberal charge judges, it's setting a very good path forward, if it goes forward, for jack smith, not donald trump. >> really interesting. so let's talk about the next case he's facing, which is this ballot issue. there are going to be arguments on thursday. i'll be honest. from a political perspective, the sources i talked to including democrats, will say when they are being honest that kicking him off the ballots is politically challenging, politically bad for democrats. if they are going to beat donald trump, it needs to be something that's perceived to be fair and square. if he's not on the ballot, that can't unfold. so their expectation is that the
2:45 am
supreme court will put him back on the ballot. you're the legal one of the two of us. how do you see the legal argument piece of it playing out? do you think that political thinking is going to be what ultimately will happens? >> i'd like to think the supreme court is immune from that thought process, but at the same time, we don't want the union to fall apart. i think there is a legitimate concern that there will be a lot of turmoil that is going to be overly politicized. so they have go down to the pure reading of the amendment. and article 3 should the president be allowed to serve previously, the incite the vex, sur recollection. those are the questions they are going to ask. some of these people who are traditionalists and look at the
2:46 am
text of the actual constitution and all the amendments and give them credit, they are going to be in a hard place to say he shouldn't be removed. but ultimately, the folks you spoke to are probably correct. there will be a way to find somehow that donald trump stays on the ballot. >> jeremy, thank you very much. this afternoon, lawmakers cast their first votes around advancing the bipartisan border security deal. that deal is all but doomed in the very chamber that produced it, despite pleas from president biden yesterday for congress to show some spine. >> every day between now and november the american people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is donald trump. it's time for republicans in the congress to show a little courage, to show a little spine, to make it clear to the american people that you work for them. >> but it's not just donald trump's allies who proposed this
2:47 am
bill. some progressive democrats are also taking aim. they say the bill fails to protect migrants. two democratic senators will vote against advance ing the bi today. let's bring in a president of the national immigration law center and has been critical of this bipartisan border deal. good morning. it's wonderful to have you. i want to start with what you think of president biden here. he wants to pass this. is he wrong? >> he is dead wrong. he is absolutely wrong. this is going to do nothing to address the humanitarian crisis at the border. it's certain ly not what he campaigned on a few years ago. he campaigned on restoring our asylum process and putting us back on the map as human rights champions. this is deeply disappointing. >> i want to show you to
2:48 am
underscore part of why the politics has moved where they are is because blue state governors and mayors have expressed concerns. here are mayor adams of new york and the mayor of denver talking about this crisis. >> no mayor should have to deal with the crisis of this magnitude. this is wrong for those new yorkers as well as migrants and asylum seekers. >> it underscores why this current situation is unsustainable and why i think what's frustrating for us is we know this is solvable. >> they are saying they can't handle it. what would you do to try and help this situation if not what's in the border bill? >> the border bill does not have anything by way of resources for the governments that are receiving these migrants, which is part of the absurdity. there are no resources set aside for cities like chicago and new
2:49 am
york and other places that have welcomed these immigrants. and that is part of the solutions that we believe need to be the focus of the attention on immigration, not the political solutions that are cheap shots, they are attempted to try to convince americans around election time. this is silly season. this is election time. and what the bill contains are a set of very punitive policies that are meant to try to convince americans that if you take a hard right shift on immigration, that's going to solve the humanitarian crisis at the border when it's just not. >> this is becoming a central issue in the election. and the reason president trump has wanted to kill it is because he thinks it could help president biden beat him in the election. if nothing gets done here and president biden loses the election, do you not think that
2:50 am
might be a worse situation f forment some of the people you're trying to help? how do you square that? >> yeah, look, i will say we are disappointed with the biden administration and the democratic position on immigration, as evidenced by this bill, which is punitive. but at the same time, ill be honest with you. thinking about the terrible atrocities that happened under trump, the separation of fa families that putting kids in cages, that's not what we want to go back to. and it's certainly not what americans want. even today when you look at public opinion polls, americans still believe that people should have a right to try to seek asylum. there's still fundamental values recognizing that we are a nation of immigrants. >> kica, thank you for being here to provide your perspective today. i appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. pop superstar taylor swift is back on tour.
2:51 am
she's set to have a $230 million impact in japan. that's tickets, merchandise, food, hotels, all of it combined. swift kick canning off the asia leg of her tour this morning. i think she's on stage now. i have taylor swift's schedule in my inbox for the first time in my broadcasting career that says she's supposed to be on stage now. after the last one, she is expected to fly to las vegas to watch her boyfriend travis kelce play in the super bowl. cnn's hanna montgomery is live in tokyo with more. jealous of this assignment that you have. what's it like there? >> reporter: good morning. i wish you could be here with me, because the excitement, the energy is just palpable. you can kind of hear taylor swift singing behind me in tokyo dome. but also just fans cheering, just so excited that she's
2:52 am
finally back in tokyo. we have been here since 2:00 p.m. local time. four hours before her concert began. i think there's no sound from me. that she is just excited to be in tokyo. her fans are so excited to see her. and we have been here since 2:00 p.m. local time. fans have been coming through in their very different eras con stums. they have been cheering. they have been dancing because they are so excited to see taylor swift. and we have to remember taylor swift is famous in the united states, but her fame transcends international borders. all the way on the orr side of the world, her concerts have completely sold out. we expect her whole four days of concerts, it will be jam packed. organizers said the tickets sold out within the first 30 minutes they went on sale. she's the first the female
2:53 am
artist to play for four con successtive nights in tokyo dome. so much excitement about taylor swift being here in tokyo. >> it's amazing. i will say i did try to get taylor swift tickets on the european tour because i was considering maybe a six or seven-flight to see her. tokyo is too far away from me. but i'm glad you got a chance to be outside there. thank you very much for that. we might as well be talking about the other big story now. which is the super bowl. 49ers quarterback brock purdy is a win away from completing a fairy tale start to his career. but andy scholes has the bleach er report. good morning. >> maybe give the game a little attention. >> i'm a football fan. i love the game. but for me, it just makes it better. >> so many great story lines, including the one and only brock purdy. sunday night we koub saying that mr. irrelevant is the super bowl
2:54 am
mvp. the person drafted last overall, never done that. not your normal mr. irrelevant. he's gone from the last pick of the 2022 draft. picked 262 to one of the best quarterbacks in the nfl. and purdy as humble as they come. and he appreciates a chance that he has to try to lead the niners to their first title since 1995. >> with every little moment many any life, every milestone that i have come across, just being grateful more than anything with the people in my life that have helped me get to where i'm at. i have had so much support in my life i'm very honored that i get to play in the super bowl now and live out my dream as a kid. just more than anything, i have that grateful mind set. >> with the sports world ascending on las vegas, the city's mayor made a surprising statement about the oakland a's move to her city. in an interview with front page sports, mayor goodwin says she
2:55 am
hopes the team stays in northern california. >> i have lived in this town 60 years. so i know the town like the back of my mhand. i personally think they have to figure out a way to stay in oakland and make their dream come true. i run into people from oakland all the time. they want to keep the team. >> an interview with the front office, she clarified her statements on x, it's my belief in a perfect world, the ownership would like to have a new ballpark in the water in oakland and the ownership and government there should listen to their great fans and try to make that dream come true. should that fail, las vegas has shown that it is a spectacular market for major league sports franchises. the a's have been planning on building a ballpark on the strip where the tropicana hotel currently sits. they want to do that by 2028.
2:56 am
the team's lease in oakland is up after this season. finally, huge announcement yesterday. three of the biggest companies in sports broadcasting, warner brothers discovery, espn and fox are joining force ss to create new sports streaming platform. currently unnamed service is set is to launch in the fall and will include games from all four major pro sports leagues. the companies will each share one-third ownership in the joint venture. pricing will be announced at a later date. this was just huge news because no one really saw it coming. and espn and tnt and fox joining forces. never know where this is going to go. >> we sure don't. and that absolutely massive. it's one of the biggest challenges, how to watch sports when you cut the cord. here we go. andy scholes, thank you. that's it for us here on "early start." i'm kaus cayce.
