my lucky number. i don't know if i told you that. >> this is suthe super bowl plad on 2/11. it is her 13th game this season. leaving some conspiracy theer r -- theorists to say it's scripted. >> i don't think i'm that good of a script er. >> has this been taylor made? >> people are running wild with this. t there are bets whether he will propose after the game. he says that's crazy talk. you can bet on the game is going to be epic. >> whether she will perform with usher as well. have to wait and see. >> hey now. thank you for watching.

politically motivmotivated. the white house slamming the special counsel report that questions biden's memory. will that work? fears in gaza. israel warns the war may escalate again with a new ground incursion. a move that puts res israel at with the u.s. moves could help make him the next chair of the rnc, a special investigation. let's go "out front." good evening. i'm erica hill in for erin burnett. the biden administration launching a full court press to counter the damning special counsel report about president biden's handling of classified documents. vice president kamala harris

calling it politically mot motivated. >> as a former prosecutor, the comments that were made by that prosecutor, gratuitous, inaccurate and inappropriate. the way that the president's demeanor in that report was characterized could not be more wrong on the facts and clearly politically motivated. gratuitous. >> the spokesman for white house counsel's office echoing the vice president. >> gratuitous comments in the report are troubling. they are inappropriate. >> troubling, inappropriate, gratuitous, words you will hear. the white house doing all it can to portray that report as nothing more than a partisan memo as opposed to a legal document. a document in which the special counsel decided not to charge president biden for his willful mishandling the classified documents.

describing him as an elderly man with a poor memory who in interviews did not remember the years he was vice president or when his son died. troubling allegations for a candidate struggling to combat concerns about his age. the white house says it is considering whether to release a redacted transcript of biden's interview. arlette saenz is live outside the white house. this transcript, what does the white house believe it could show? >> reporter: it could address some questions about the characterization of president biden during that two days of interviews that his team conducted here at the white house. the white house right now is not ruling out the possibility that they could release these transcripts. they have noted that it would be difficult to do so given there is a lot of classified information in there. there could be a possibility they could release the transcript if there is a way to redact the information.

it does come as we have seen the white house shifting into full damage control mode. they have been escalating their attacks and trying to discredit the special counsel's report. you heard that from aides and vice president kamala harris. she tried to point to her own experience as a prosecutor to try to call out the statements as inappropriate and also politically motivated. what's clear here is that this is a report that has personally infuriated president biden. we saw that publically last night, especially when it came to the fact that he tried to raise the fact that biden couldn't remember when his son died from cancer. that's something the president spoke out about last night. we are told privately, he was even more direct in his fury telling a group of democratic lawmakers behind closed doors, quote, how would i fin' forget that? it comes as the white house is now grappling.

they hoped this report, the headline coming out would be that there were no criminal charges. now they are having to combat the questions about age, which voters have raised as a key concern for the president as he is seeking re-election. this has thrust those concerns and issues about the president's age and mental acuity front and center. >> thank you. in that press conference last night the president made another gaff. here is that moment. >> i think that -- as you know, initially the president of mexico did not want to open up the gate to allow humanitarian material to get in. >> he is the president of egypt, not the president of mexico. that press conference made

things worse. he said it's terrible for democrats. do you agree? >> can i just say, if you actually play the full clip and listen to the rest of his answer, he goes into a very substantive nuanced conversation to answer to the question about the negotiations to release hostages and how to actually get the cease-fire. here is what i think. i think for trump and for president biden, they are both old. they are about the same age. that's not going to actually change. i think it's a -- the question is not, are they old? it's can they do the job? the analysis that we need to do is looking at both of these men and saying, can they do the job? i completely understand why nikki haley, for example, attacked donald trump when he referred to her and wcalled her nancy pelosi. that's not the reason people will or won't vote for him. in this instance, the report

itself and the press conference just creates more red meat and feeds this narrative in terms of age, which again i think what we need to be doing is saying, okay, that's a factor, absolutely. however, underneath that, are they capable of doing the job? let's compare both men, their records, what they are telling us that they want do, if they are re-elected. i think that's kind of -- it does more of a service to the american people than having this got you every time somebody uses the wrong word or makes a lslip. >> i don't disagree with you. we would like to look as issues and facts. these are some of the things that gain traction. this has been very fekeffectiver republicans. donald trump does have his own issues when it comes to misspeaking. they are similar age, of course.

are we just sort of stuck with this until november? this is going to be the conversation? >> yes. my friend karen gave you a good answer to a question you didn't ask. you asked, did joe biden help himself last night? the answer is no. he didn't help himself. >> i did answer it. i said yes. >> it was terrible. when last week when he is talking about dead foreign leaders and confusing things, and then the big knock on joe biden is he is too old and out of touch. you don't go out and keep digging a hole. stop. go out on campaign trail and show people you are vigorous. prove it to people. go out and do unscripted press conferences. talk to people, sit down, get on campaign trail. you will not see it because joe

biden can't do that. that's the fact of the matter. things are going to change. you asked the question, is that how it's going to be? is it going to be that way. people have a question. this isn't just some right wing conspiracy. these are democrats that are concerned about joe biden's viability and ability to do the job as president. >> we were talking about this with arlette. the spokesman said they would consider relesasing the transcript. do you believe that would help? laying out the conversations that happened. >> a couple things on that. having gone through this on the clinton campaign when we were dealing with hillary's emails, this issue about redacting national security information is very real. it may end up taking longer than they think having been through this once before. i'm not sure that's going to be the quick answer that folks think. it may. it may give more context. i thought, for example, ian did an interesting job of -- there are things in the beginning, ways that the special counsel

characterized -- added his own color and shading to things where further on actually in the text, which nobody is going to read, but on page 200 this and 200 that, actually it contradicts -- the facts contradict the way he sort of describes certain things. i don't know that it will. it couldn't help. we have to recognize the report -- there's two pieces to this. one is the political and one is the legal. >> right. the political is the one that's continuing to get the attention. david, i want your take on this. donald trump has been fairly quiet in the grand scheme of things. posted a map on social media labeling egypt as mexico. it says, source, joe biden. trolling president biden there. donald trump, of course, has had his own issues. it's interesting that he has been fairly quiet since august of this came out. >> it's smart. >> does that surprise you?

but does that surprise you? >> no. the campaign team around donald trump this time, best you are going to get. best in the world. they are world class. they are running this campaign tight. they will keep the president on message best they can. this is one of those times where they are keeping him on message, keeping it tight. there's a saying in the law, the thing speaks for itself. we watched joe biden last night. don't do much editorializing. >> good to have you both here tonight. thank you. >> thanks. next, as israel hints at a new expansion in dgaza, there ae questions if there's anywhere left for refugees to go. trump is backing a man who spends his conspiracy theories, backing that man as just the guy to head up the rnc. >> we do know that there was massive fraud that took place. >> who is he?

we have a special report. north korea welcoming its first tourists since the pandemic to get this a ski resort. a woman who escaped the brutal regime shares what life is like in that secretive country.

tonight, benjamin netanyahu telling his military to draw up

an evacuation plan for another city in gaza as he preps for a massive new invasion. netanyahu's comments just hours after president biden said he found israel's actions in gaza have been over the top. what would netanyahu's order mean for the people in rafah? jeremy diamond is "out front." >> reporter: gaza's last refuge now risks becoming israel's next military target. 1.4 million people crammed into the southern most city of rafah, now living in fear, as israel says this is where it will launch its next offensive against hamas. >> translator: everybody is afraid. we are praying to god that what happened in gaza city does not happen in rafah. if the same happens, we will have no place to go. where are we going to go? to egypt? only god knows if they will welcome us or not. >> reporter: the israeli prime minister says a rafah offensive is critical to destroying hamas and the military will plan for

civilian evacuations. >> go into rafah. they will do so as they have done up to now by providing the sif civilian population safe passage. >> reporter: where will they go? how will they live? >> translator: we can't get out of rafah. we have no other alternative. either we die here or in our homes. we have nowhere else to go. >> reporter: among the tent cities, humanitarian aid groups offer a life line here. one that is severely lacking further north. >> translator: if we go to gaza city or khan yunis, we will not find supplies provided for us here in rafah. >> there's no place left. >> reporter: the united states sounding the alarm. >> the conduct of the response in gaza -- in the gaza strip has

been over the top. >> reporter: warning an israeli offensive would be a distant sg disaster. >> protect civilians at that scale in gaza. a military operation right now would be a disaster for those people. it's not something we would support. >> reporter: smoke billows over the skies. women mourn their loved ones. the destruction by one strike offers a glimpse of what could come. >> translator: if you throw a stone from the roof in rafah, it will hit ten people. what about three rockets on a house where every room has a displaced family? a family with a father, children, and wife. >> reporter: the consequences of war in gaza's last haven. as israeli leaders publically

telegraphs an offensive, a hamas delegation has been meeting on talks for a hostage deal. a question tonight, whether or not this planned israeli offensive is aimed at trying to pressure hamas into that deal. negotiating tactic or not, it's very clear that the implications and the fear in rafah are very real. >> absolutely. appreciate the reporting. democratic congressman jim himes, the ranking member of the house intelligence committee. good to have you in the studio. president biden has qualified the response in gaza as over the time. would you agree with that? >> i'm not sure i would use those words, but i would say the next two months, two and a half months need to look different from the last two and a half. there are 28,000, 27,000 fatalities in gaza. that just can't continue. yes, a meaningful portion of

those are hamas people who we don't terribly mourn for. but a lot of those people are civilians. the hughmanitarian situation the is dire. every opportunity to speak to senior israelis, i have said, we understand the right to self-defense. what happened on october 7th is inexcusable. but this -- the nature of this war going forward needs to change in a more humanitarian direction. >> john kirby said on thursday, warned that an offensive in rafah would be a disaster and not something the u.s. would support. prime minister netanyahu asked for evacuation plans to be drawn up. you mentioned how you pressed and made clear to israeli officials how you feel about the hugh m humanitarian crisis. how much of that is brought into consideration as further plans are being made? >> i can't speak to how u.s. pressure is affecting war planning inside israel. the prime munster has been extremely aggressive.

it's not clear the prime minister is thinking about what happens on the day after. how this comes to a close. he says that hamas will be erad eradicated. i understand the political power of saying that. the idea that he is going to kill every last member of hamas is not credible. i hope that the prime minister begins to think about not just the short-term, but the medium and long-term. >> we will watch the situation. i want to talk about things domestically as well. you had said repeatedly, when it comes to the classified documents, it's not okay for a republican or democrat to have them, as we look at now, moving on to the special counsel report regarding president biden's handling of classified documents. in terms of what was in the report, is there anything you saw or read that was troubling to you in terms of president biden's handling of the

documents? >> i mean, let me just make the blanket statement. we cannot have classified information out in the wild. that applies to a junior airman in cape cod who was responsible for a brutal release of classified information, a president of the united states and an ex-president. it's classified for a reason. if the wrong classified information gets out there, american officers can die. not okay. the president bares responsible, donald trump bares responsible. >> was there anything in the report that was troubling to you in terms of president biden's handling of classified information and documents? >> i'm not a lawyer. republican colleagues are saying, this shows there's a two-tiered system. it's bologna. read the indictment of donald trump. you will see joe biden handled this different. cooperates a day after the brutality of october 7th, he sat for a five-hour interview and so

this idea there's a two-tiered system is bologna. let's address the elephant in the room. this feels to me like a second comey moment. before an election, a special counselor, an investigator writes something irrelevant. that is to say what he wrote about joe biden's memory. that's no more relevant that if a special counsel were to write, i don't think this person would be good in front of a jury because they're not attractive. >> we look at the moments in that report about president biden's memory, how he would come across to a jury, about the observations, the fact he came out so forcefully last night and then used the name of the president of egypt and said he was the president of mexico, there has been pushback. senator mike lee raising concerns saying, posting on x, it was a significant threat to national security and urging cabinet members to invoke the 25th amendment.

your response to that? >> doesn't surprise me coming from senator lee. if that's the standard, let's accept that. then i want to hear senator lee apply precisely the same standard to donald trump who famously said that victor orban was the leader of turkey. i'm younger than either donald trump or joe biden. i make mistakes from time to time. i say stupid things. again, wishhypocrisy. we have an election between joe biden and donald trump. is joe biden a 45-year-old jfk? of course, he is not. he is a heck of a record to run on. >> there will be more to talk about between now and november. nice to have you in the studio. >> thanks for having me. trump's push to make over the rnc includes a man who claims there was massive fraud in 2020. learning in a war zone. we will take you underground to see the classrooms in ukraine's subway system, all part of an effort to keep kids safe.

new tonight, audio uncovered showing why donald trump may be

zeroing in on a particular north carolina republican to take over the rnc. the current chairwoman is planning to step down. trump felt she didn't do enough to push his claims of voter fraud. now he is eyeing the chairman of north carolina's republican party who has said this. >> regardless of how these lawsuits come out around the country with the presidential race, we do know that there was massive fraud that took place. we know it took place in places like milwaukee and detroit and philadelphia. >> what we know if we lack at fact is that there is no evidence of massive fraud when it comes to the lawsuits as well that he mentioned, it's important to remember trump lost more than 60 cases filed. what else did you find in this report? >> that's right. we found in the weeks after the 2020 election, he repeatedly promoted lies about election fraud saying that these

democratic-run cities were basically engaged in wide scale fraudulent activities. it's important to remember the context in which the comments were made. people probably remember that trump and his team were throwing out false claim after false claim of fraud claiming people were bussing in ballots from new york and all sorts of other things. one comment they claim that republican poll watchers weren't allowed to watch the votes being counted. we know that is false. we know from those 60 lawsuits that you mentioned and all of the recounts that there was no massive voter fraud that took place. this is something that he said time and again that there was, quote, as he said, massive fraud in philadelphia, milwaukee, drought. he said they were engaging in violations of election law in these cities. because of this he wanted the courts to take the victory from

the legitimately elected person and give it to donald trump. take a listen to his comments here. >> there's a scary proposition to think that you are going to have a court overturn some of those results. but that's the plan. i get asked every single day by a reporter, why do you keep alleging there's fraud out there? it's like, you know, all you have to do is look at the stories that we are seeing out of philadelphia, we are seeing out of the detroit area, out of milwaukee. agr egregious violations of election law. there's no question why it puts these elections at risk. >> it's something -- you found in your research and your reporting here, he backtracked on some of the comments he made. >> that's right. immediately after the riot, he issued this tweet. i want people to look at it. what's really interesting about

this tweet is that we found he actually deleted it. now we have seen republicans who have walked back statements about january 6. we specifically asked him about this deleted tweet. he didn't respond. we asked him about that. a month after the capitol riot, he went on local radio and he suggested that january 6 was not done by republicans. listen to him here. >> most of the people that have been arrested were not necessarily republican voters. they are trump supporters in there. but we have seen others. we are going to unequivocally condemn those actions. >> we did reach out to him. we asked him a couple of things. we asked him about the tweets, the comments. he didn't respond. he did give us a statement where he said there's no question that changes to the 2020 election process, which weaken safeguards on absentee and mail-in ballots

led to distrust by many across the country. i firmly believe in having proper safeguards in place to ensure it's easier to vote and harder to cheat. >> be interesting to watch where this goes. up next, kids near the front lines are spending their days in makeshift classrooms deep underground inside the ukrainian subway system. never before seen images of a north korean labor camp where workers shovel bodies like, quote, garbage.

two leading candidates for senate. two very different visions for california.

steve garvey, the leading republican, is too conservative for california. he voted for trump twice and supported republicans for years, including far right conservatives. adam schiff, the leading democrat, defended democracy against trump and the insurrectionists. he helped build affordable housing, lower drug costs, and bring good jobs back home. the choice is clear. i'm adam schiff, and i approve this message. this ad? typical. politicians... "he's bad. i'm good." blah, blah. let's shake things up. with katie porter. porter refuses corporate pac money. and leads the fight to ban congressional stock trading. katie porter. taking on big banks to make housing more affordable. and drug company ceos to stop their price gouging. most politicians just fight each other. while katie porter fights for you. for senate - democrat katie porter. i'm katie porter and i approve this message.

tonight, new video showing the destruction of a city in eastern ukraine. the city just devastated after months of intense fighting. all of this amid a shakeup in the military. the newly-installed commander taking charge after zelenskyy fired the general who had been leading the war effort since the beginning. >> reporter: extra special braids is what the 6-year-old wants for school. because simply going to school is special here in kharkiv. it is dangerous. so dangerous they had to move classes underground. for many children here in c

kharkiv, they go down into the subway. they call it the metro school. how are you this morning? >> i'm fine. thank you. how about you? >> reporter: we won't hear anything, she says. hear what, i ask? the bangs, she says. bangs happen nearly every day here in kharkiv. russia's army killing and wounding hundreds. down here, kids can be kids. the classrooms are soundproof. blocking out not just the noise of the subway that's running but also the thunder of the war that has already affected these youngsters so much. on my birthday for some reason a war broke out, this child tells me. february 24, 2022, all she wanted was to celebrate her fifth birthday. but vladimir putin's troops were storming kharkiv.

firing from russian territory. reporting from the russian side of the border, i saw the invasion firsthand. on the receiving end, instead of the birthday party, she and her friends had to go to the bomb shelter. i even started crying, she tells me. i thought it would be the end. they try not to talk too much about the war in the subway school. the children coming back here now have been scarred for life, the teacher says. they had the look of adults who had experienced hardship, experienced the hard days and months of this war, she said. there are no regular functioning schools in kharkiv. it's either the subway or online classes. the city doesn't believe that will change soon. they are building bunker schools because children here wouldn't even have enough time to get to an air raid shelter, the mayor tells me.

the s300 missiles reach in 30 to 40 seconds. no air alarme can work. back at the subway school, every day a minute of silence for those killed by vladimir putin's war against ukraine. then the kids sing their national anthem, showing the russians and their leader that no matter how many missiles they fire, ukraine is growing stronger, its future brighter every day. fred pleitgen, cnn, ukraine. north korea's welcoming tourists since the pandemic. it says a lot when you learn where they are from. this year, it's more than just bad blood between the chiefs and 49ers could that

could bring in millions more viewers.

tonight, 100 russian tourists -- the group there touching down in north korea. believed to be the first to enter the reclusive nation since the pandemic. their arrival underscores the ties between the two countries. two countries, of course, at odds with the u.s. this comes as we are getting a rare look at life inside north korea in a remarkable secretly recorded footage from the critically acclaimed documentary "beyond oohutopia." listen to the man who survived, losing 91 pounds a matter of a few months there.

>> featured in the film, a north korea defector. >> i'm grateful to be with you and to see you again. madeleine, let me start with you. we looked at that satellite images. you were able to obtain those. no one has seen those before. you have havevideos of defector leaving, brokered on the border are working with them. you have the actual escape. you have video of police abusing north korean defectors, chinese please. that was presumably cctv. you were able to obtain it. how did you get this access and footage? >> yes. there's actually three different sources for what you talk about. the satellite imagery is from the committee of human rights in north korea, in washington, d.c., and there was a process involved in getting clearance

for that. in terms of the footage inside north korea, including the torture footage, but also footage of people on the street, this really -- this was during the research phase when i was researching the film. this is what drew me in to making me want to make this film. feel like this film needed to be made. i was feeling the pulse of people inside north korea, seeing people inside north korea living real lives. there was a stark contrast between what i was seeing there and what we see in terms what is actually allowed out of north korea by the regime. what we are able to see usually is what the kim regime wants us to see. finding this was like finding a treasure trove of horrific -- a horrific reality. i realized, there's 26 million people in that country. we are not hearing from them. >> it's incredible. some of the footage -- i'm

looking at it going, my goodness. 26 million people and we don't see their lives. you were a child in north korea. obviously, you lived there until you were 17. i know when you defected, it had to be so secret you couldn't tell your mother. in the film, you talk about some of your childhood experiences. it's incredible. you talk about practicing for the games. some of those images, all those children performing in unison. here is how you described it. >> practice on the cement. kids were rolling on concrete for months. some kids even broke their toes when they fell on the ground. >> these children, as you point out, were as young as 5. you talk about how school was canceled because children needed to witness executions. you saw one when you were 7 years old.

now you have kim telling women in north korea to have more children, that there's an issue with the birth rate. do you believe the rhesitancy that women have comes from any of this, comes from them seeing the suffering of their own children and their own experiences? >> first of all, the babies when they are born, the babies die rate is super higher than the other countries. because of the starvation or lack of food, everything. women don't want to marry or they don't want to have kids. >> north koreans, among the many things they are caught she was referring to the ignorance. they are not exposed to other ideas. it's a psychological study of what can happen to any group of humans. yet, they are taught that americans are evil. some of the propaganda north

koreans grew up, you know, there's these images, americans are going to kill you. in the film, you interview a woman -- this stood out to me. an 80-year-old grandmother. she defected with her family. what was amazing is she made it clear she fled because her family fled and she felt she would be targeted if she stayed. her reason was pragmatic. it was not political. it was not on principal. she said this.

>> that's incredible. >> yeah, i mean it's -- it was so amazing to spend time and get to know the real family along the way and to watch the sort of what i call the unappealing of an onion. of, you know, for instance grandma who for 80 years had believed in her bones, in her blood. i mean she believed wholeheartedly in the kim regime. she had tremendous guilt towards kim jong-un. she was extremely angry at defectors for abandoning him. and to watch her kind of grapple of what she's known to be true versus what she's experiencing and how'd she go back and forth and this dialectic within

herself. she defected because she felt she had to. the family was going to be banished, so they would not have survived if they stayed in north korea. nevertheless, if she thought she could have stayed on her own and made it, she would have. >> amazing. when you and i met in seoul in 2015 you didn't want the cameras to show where you lived because you were afraid that north korean agents would find you. and at that point you hadn't lived there for many years. but one of the things i have never forgotten about our conversation then is that you told me that if you had to do it all over again because of all of the difficulty you faced after leaving north korea, that you would have stayed. and now that you have done this film and you see everything there, you see others who have left and you have lived now another nine years of your own life, do you still feel that

way? >> on the outside i'm like normal, but on the inside still i am suffering from enormous pain because i left my relatives and friends, and i had to be separated from my family for 14 years and left behind 17 years of memories. so still the pain stays with me wherever i go. that's why i raise to the international community to raise awareness. we have the power to end this modern day tragedy. >> thank you so very much. and thank you very much, madeleine, as well. i hope everyone will see beyond utopia. >> thank you. >> thank you.

up next, it's the count down to super bowl sunday, or i mean let's be honest this year isn't it really swiftie sunday?

will be almost as much attention on the pop star as there is on the game. nick watt is out front. >> the anti-hero song, i mean that's one's pretty sweet. >> reporter: the super bowl star quarterback days before the big game answering questions about which of the teammate's girlfriend's songs he likes the most. >> i do love "love story." get me every single time. >> reporter: more than 100 men will be on the field on sunday reclipsed perhaps by one woman in the stands. here is taylor swift and the nfl by the numbers. the chiefs won nine of the 12 games she attended this season. you can now bet on what color shirt she'll wear sunday. red his favorite. she's reportedly added over $300 million in brand value to her boyfriend's team, the chiefs and the nfl. >> what do you say to those who think it's all scripted by the nfl? >> i don't think i'm that good a scripter. >> reporter: to the jets-chiefs

game october 1st she brought along 2 million new female tv viewers. the director reportedly cut to her 17 times. "the new york times," all the news it's fit to print took a deep dive on that stat. how often is taylor swift actually shown at nfl games? their conclusion, less than many seem to think. still, right-wing tv talking heads are getting their boxers very bunched. >> around four years ago the pentagon psychological operations unit floated turning taylor swift into an asset during a nato meeting. >> build them up, build them up, build them up. and at the moment of truth they're going to endorse biden. >> in 1949 george orwell had a vision of the future. >> reporter: as orwell predicted our surveillance age, as our nar cystic selfie obsessions so swift predicted falling in love

with a football player. in 2008 "you belong with me." whether she'll make it in time from a concert in tokyo to the super bowl in vegas has generated acres of copy, info graphics, even an assurance from the japanese embassy. is it only the 49ers quarterback who just doesn't care? >> obviously our defense going against pat mahomes and their great offense, so that's how we're looking at it. we're not trying to get wrapped up in us versus taylor swift or anything like that. >> do you have a favorite taylor swift song? >> i don't. >> reporter: perhaps brook purdy doth protest too much. now more than 100 million people will watch sundaych it's worth remembering right at the center of all this razz amutaz and ulbu loo a couple o
