amounts of data, spotting red flags and doing that all with lightening fast speed one security ceo told me that once you train an ai model it's able to spot problems in milliseconds. and so kate, that means that in some cases, treasury has been able to find anomalies alert banks, and prevent the checks from ever being cached. and the crazy thing here, kate, is all of this is really just getting started >> it's correct. or you say it crazy thing. i mean, it's like arms fire and also terrifying. i don't know what treasury clearly happy to have the help though. it's good to see my great reporting thank you any moment now, hunter biden and will arrive on capitol hill to go behind closed doors with house republicans leading the impeachment effort against his father, the drama and the questioning is about one

breaking news, explosive growth of the wildfires in texas. one just became the second largest in state history. it is 0% contained we have new reporting on who needs to take cover in very shortly, ivf families will rally at the alabama state house. could a major about face be imminent after the state supreme court controversial ruling that some say put ivf in jeopardy. sara is out today. i'm john berman with kate baldwin. this he is cnn news central >> okay >> so you know, you love capitol hill drama. you don't have to admit it, but you know, you love it. and today is going to be one of those days. very soon president biden's son, hunter is arriving on the hill and heading behind closed doors for what has become a highly anticipated moment, the face-to-face with republicans

lawmakers, and the biggest moments so far in the republican led effort toward impeaching president biden. cnn's paula reid. she's watching all this tracking all of this hopefully as sneakers on because it's going to be wild. paula, what is going to happen today? and what questions is he likely to face >> like i definitely wear my sneakers afford today. let me tell you how significant this is. there actually moving this deposition to a bigger room. than the one they usually use because they anticipate a record number of remembers are going to attend. this is a make-or-break moment for gop lawmakers who so far have not been able to provide clearwater evidence to support their allegation that president biden benefited from his son's foreign business dealings. know initially a hunter biden said, you would only testify publicly. they said but they were worried about selective leaks from republican lawmakers, but republicans agreed not to videotape this deposition, unlike other witnesses in this inquiry and having videotaped and also

swiftly released. the transcript. so these are two concessions that they needed to make an order to get hunter biden to sit for this interview. >> now, among the topics that i think prickly democrats and may want to bring up is the fact that disappearance comes just two weeks after the justice department would charge an informant who had alleged that the bidens received millions of dollars in foreign bribes with lying about that with you fabricating those allegations that are at the heart of the gop's inquiry here. so i think democrats are really going to seize on that. and again, this is make-or-break for republicans. i think they're going to try to find any way to get something to support the merits of this impeachment inquiry. so this is going to be one to watch. it could be a late de and right now, we're just waiting for the president's son to arrive here on capitol hill. >> when that happens, we'll bring it to you. we have cameras all over capitol hill. great to see you, paula. thank you. >> all right. with us now, former deputy assistant attorney general, harry litman and former assistant special watergate prosecutor nick akerman. harry, i want to start with you and let me stipulate. i have never been under federal

indictment as far as you know, war i to be i'd be pretty reluctant to answer any questions to a congressional committee when what i could say could ultimately be used against me in a different trials. so what i'm getting at here is i know there's a lot of anticipation about this but how much is hunter really going to answer? >> so i think a lot depending on the category you're totally right. he's under indictment for two different crimes. those will both be off limits and his lawyer, abbe lowell will jump in and say, we can't talk about that. he's under indictment. what does that leave? for them? the motherlode. and just as paula said, this is really the whole investigation is at risk of just ending with a whimper and the stakes are high for republicans the mother lode would be anything about joe biden's business dealings with him? i think that's going to be a dry hole. nine witnesses have already testified there's nothing there. this will be the tanjil say so he's already made public statements to that effect. what does that leave for a gang? the one it's to get

at anything stuff about hunter's career has art. anyway, he's gotten money and there'll be sort of sneering questions about his art career and attempt to just insinuate that he's been exploiting the biden brand. and that's what we'll see on the periphery. how far will that go? how aggressive will it get? it'll depend somewhat on abbe lowell, but he can expect a very aggressive set of questioners today >> and nic, how much does today's deposition, how much is it different now as paula was talking about what happened just two weeks ago, which was there at that to that >> point, the republicans star witness and star information, this former-fbi and he's indicted. >> that's right. this is totally anti-climatic hi, there is nothing that's going to come out of this. harry was 100% right? what they're going to do, and if you really want the see the roadmap of what they're going to question about. it's in jim jordan's tweet that he

put out there a couple of days ago where he goes through all of these conspiracy theories and all of these dredged up allegations made over the years. and essentially what it all comes down to is that hunter biden was trading off his dad's name essentially, this is the same thing that we've seen prior with lyndon johnson's brother, with jimmy carter's brother, with richard nixon's brother. i mean, this is no different. it's basically what my dad said to me. you can pick your friends but you can't pick your relatives >> my sister what can we pause here? >> hello. and hunter biden. since hunter biden is taken out, abbe lowell, his counsel, there's been this aggressive defense here against particularly the congressional investigations. but if you're walking into this hearing right now, i imagined they could be in a car together on the way to capitol hill at this moment? if you're abbe lowell, what are you telling your biden and what are you advising? how are you

advising him to act? yeah. >> they've been living together for the last several weeks. let's face it and all i think it's going to say to him, rely on me, just listen to the question answered. if i come in stop everything and, you know, but they have had a very different strategy and it's changed sadly, i think even in the last week, i think you're going to see hunter basically in response to some of these more a field questions actually aggressively defend himself as a recovering addict. i think you'll hear him sound that theme and that seems to be lese matter of concern for the white house than when they first came out of the box with this aggressive strategy. so it's basically listen, wait, and let me come in if there's trouble, don't don't put out the fire. i put out the fire. all right. guys. standby for a second, if you will, because we have some breaking news right now out of the white house cnn's arlette saenz here with the details are what can you tell us >> well, john president biden

is departing the white house right now now you can actually hear marine one taking off to go to walter reed national military medical center to receive his annual physical. he told reporters this as he was awarded saying airport, marine one. and this was not previously on the president's schedule, but it does line up with the president's previous physical which he received around this time one year ago. now, president biden is 81 years old. if he is elected to a second term, he would be 86 at the end of that second term. and this physical while it is a routine update, it will be it's expected to be conducted by his physician, dr. kevin o'connor, who typically in the past has provided a report, an update following that physical, the president has received two prior physicals while in office back in 2021, and that again around this time back in 2023. but this physical is coming as the president's physical and mental fitness has been in the spotlight in the 2024 campaign. he has faced criticism from his

republican opponents about on his age and his mental fitness and polling has shown that there is concern from americans as well about the president's of physical fitness and ability to serve a second term. a recent when it back poll found that only a third of voters thought the president had the physical fitness and the mental fitness for a second term in office. so this physical will be watched very closely. mostly it is an annual routine physical that he has undergone in the past and hopefully later today, we will also be getting a similar readout of how the president is doing. now, just two note what the president's physician, dr. o'connor said last year back in 2023, he in his report, he said that the president was healthy, vigorous, and fit to successfully execute the duties today's of the presidency. he noted a few of the issues the president has had, like a stiff gait also being treated for afib, which he did not show any symptoms of during last year's physical and also some symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux flux that is clearing his throat off

and that is something that we often hear in the front of the president in some of his speeches. now, one other thing that was disclosed within the past year was that the president has sleep apnea and that he was using a cpap machine to treat that. that is a very common issue that millions of americans have been diagnosed with. but certainly this physical today will be closely watched. there are some who have called for the president to receive a cognitive test. cognitive tests have not typically been part of these presidential physical examinations. it's unclear whether it would be part this time. they didn't feel it was a warranted in the past, but we will be waiting to see what further updates we receive from the president's position. a little bit later this afternoon. typically, these physicals take quite a few hours. we likely won't be seen him back here at the white house until later in the morning, possibly early afternoon, but we could get a clearer picture sure. of the president's a physical state after this annual physical at a time when there has been concerns expressed by some voters about the president's physical and mental stamina heading into the 22 24

campaign. >> president's annual physical, it is a regular event in and of itself. however, as you said, this one is one that will be analyzed with everyone looking at the readout very carefully, maybe as soon as later today, i'll let signs thank you for filling us in on what is happening behind you. we appreciate it. >> kate, are continuing to follow that. any updates coming from the president's health, we will bring to you, but we're also following more breaking news this morning out of the texas panhandle, the smokehouse creek fire, which we've been talking about this morning. it is now gotten larger, it is now the second largest fire in texas state history. scorching over 500,000 acres. now, these fast moving flames, they're very clearly from the video we've seen making for terrifying conditions. look so this fire is now >> more than aside, more than half the size rather of the state of rhode island. it's burning so fast that it's

scorching the equivalent of 150 football fields every minute and that's just one of five fires are burning in the panhandle, right now, several communities have been forced to evacuate already. many are without water. and this morning, john spoke with a pass sure. of one church in texas that is sheltering over 200 people now >> most of the people that have come in, they have lost everything and we even have people here that are helping to help with the community that have lost everything. but yet they're here showing compassion and love to one another >> cnn's lucy kafanov, she's on the ground for us in amarillo, texas that's right. >> well, let me set the scene for you. we are in amarillo, texas where there is low visibility extremely high winds. all of that due to the five wildfires burning in the

surrounding areas. now the air here is still full of smoke oh, good burns your eyes at burns your mouth and throat residents are being encouraged to stay inside to keep their pets inside. this is also one of the areas that folks who can get here from neighboring counties are being encouraged to come here for evacuation. we actually visited a shelter late last night. the reagan work pots to make it more comfortable to people who have sought refuge and shelter here governor greg abbott, issuing a disaster declaration for 60 counties that 60. and as of this warning, that blaze exploding to more than 500,000 acres now, the smokehouse greek fire that's the largest of the fire that's burning. being described as the second largest in texas history now, a lot of these areas are rural that means it's not just people that are impacted, but ranches wildlife. there were some

united states of scandal with jake tapper sunday at nine on cnn >> you're looking at pictures from moments ago of president biden arriving at walter reed hospital for his annual physical. now, this is routine it is news we just learned this morning, but it is something that happens every year, the annual physical for the president of the united states. but obviously it is of interest this year. >> cnn's >> chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta, is with us now. what usually goes on at these physicals sanjay and how much do we learn after the fact? >> well, it's a pretty extensive physical exam. we know, for example, he interesting, they arrived around the same time last year, about 09:15 in the morning for his visit go wintel about noon. so roughly two-and-a-half, three hours of testing that goes on. looking, as you say, routine stuff. so there's not a particular problem that they're addressing, but we know, for

example, from last year some of what the readout was, the medications that he's taking, we know he takes a statin medication for for cholesterol. he takes eliquis to prevent blood clots because he has a history of atrial fibrillation. lot of people have noticed that his gait, the way that he walks has changed over the past couple of years. that was something that was addressed last year as well, significant arthritis. they said in his spine in a split and some what is known as neuropathy and his feet. these will all be things that are assessed again. so cardiac function, heart function, lung function. it's a pretty, pretty pretty exhaustive physical exam. he's 81 years old. i will tell you this interestingly, about 16% according to various organizations, about 16% of seniors get some cognitive testing done so most do not but that's gonna be something that we're going to be curious about as well. will he get any kind of cognitive testing? he did not in the past, the white house has said that he probably will not now unless his doctors have some particular reason to

order that test. so that's that's sort of a glimpse likely of what we're see you today. >> i was going to ask you about that, sanjay, because obviously he's been dogged by republican criticism during the campaign about his age stamina. nikki haley calling for a mental acuity tests for anyone over the age of i think she's had 75 for elected officials and on the question of a cognitive exam, what would actually go into that? because we know from the white house i was just looking back, karine jean-pierre told reporters just this month at biden's physician did not think a cognitive test was warranted during his last physical yeah. >> you it's interesting because a lot of people have become familiar with these tests. we can put one of them up on the screen just so you can see this is the montreal cognitive assessment to give people an idea of what a test like this involves. i don't know how well you can see that, but you're matching letters and numbers, you're drawing a clock, for example, trying to draw three-dimensional cube identifying animals,

remembering words. it takes about ten to 15 minutes one thing to point out is that president trump, former president trump had this done, i think twice, both times at his own request. and i point that out to say that it wasn't the doctors necessarily asking for this. they typically asked to do a test like this. are recommended if there is some specific concern and again, about 16% of people who are seniors will actually get that as part of a routine exam, meaning most don't. but it's a screening test, kate, it's not a diagnostic test. it gives you some indication. is there a need to explore further? is there some problem with memory loss? so executive reasoning or speed of thought, things like that president trump, again, i think a couple of years ago, few years ago now, got a perfect score on the exam. he said 30 out of 30. but again, it's a screaming and it's not it's more often than not not actually done at a test like this, an exam like this, right, sanjay, thanks for jumping on. it's great to see you. thank you >> got it. >> much more.

>> when we have more about that for a tease. >> so coming up for us a >> new focus on alabama after that state supreme court ruling saying that embryos are children in terms of state law there's rally planned today at the state capital and new questions about state lawmakers and what moves they're making to try to correct what's been done here. and the texas inmate could be executed tonight, even though his legal team says that there is evidenced that key witnesses in the case against him lie. what options? jens, he still has and does not have before him now >> united states of scandal with jake tapper sunday at nine on cnn >> sore throat, gutter mucinex. it's the suits or throat medicated drops uniquely formulated for rapid relief that lasts yet mucinex instance su it's come back season.

morning from both democrats and republicans following the michigan primaries and heading into >> super tuesday. now, less than a week away with me now cnn political commentator, former obama white house senior adviser, ashley allison, also republican strategist and former rnc communications director doug heye and ashley i want to read you some reporting. the would just got from the white house from mj lee, who has a quote from one campaign official saying, any reporting that were panicked or deeply concerned would be wrong. now, when i read that, i immediately thought about the movie wag the dog, where robert de niro basically says, i've got no information patient for you on the b3 bomber who saying that they're panic to your why are they saying they're not panicked? what's the concern there >> well there's a difference between being panicked and being alert and aware of the current situation that your campaign would be in. we have eight months before this election. and so i understand

you can't live in a constant state of panic when you don't have the best night that you thought you were going to have. >> but i do i think that the campaign is aware and is going to be paying attention to this community and dearborn, which spans beyond just the arab american and muslim community that various voters, young voters, progressive voters, and they're going to be continued and bill, their infrastructure in many battleground states over the next eight months and have intense and thorough and ongoing conversations with these individuals that voted committed and may not be totally aligned or not at all align with where the president is currently on how he's handling the war with israel and hamas. but you can't just ignore what happened last night. and i don't think the administration or the campaign is this is one of the biggest issue you said it's happened in their administration. i'm referring to the war that's happening in the middle east right now. and they know voters care about and then they're going to engage and have this conversation >> so, you know, on the republican side, there's plenty of schadenfreude right now,

looking at the democratic primary results, saying that, look, president biden, 100,000 people voted uncommitted well, donald trump had his best primary yet this cycle and he's still dropping 30% to nikki haley, you know, more than 250,000 people voted against donald trump last night. so how should that concern the trump campaign going forward >> well, i think for both campaigns, john, i look at these results and for the general election, i think of a different moving, i think of kevin bacon and animal house saying all as well, be calm while all hell is breaking loose in the background behind you michigan voters, 100,000 of a michigan democrat sent a message to the biden campaign. they said we are not happy with you. that's a problem. nikki haley's results in south carolina and in other states say that donald trump has a problem when it comes to the general election. and what we see is for november independent voters and america by enlarge is saying, we do not want this

equal. this is the movable object against the resistible force. and both of these candidates can lose to each other and they're the only candidates potentially that could lose to each other. that's a problem for both of these campaigns. and it's why there's a lot of banks and handwringing that's still going on within the parties actually, you brought up the fact that obviously there was a lot of focus on the arab american community in michigan because it is one of the largest in the country. but it was also the college counties like around ann arbor that you had high numbers of people voting uncommitted. what kid president biden do in terms of outreach to younger voters that he hasn't done already? i mean, he's already forgiven all the student debt that he can he's already showing up on seth meyers and tiktok. how does he reach the younger crowd? >> we have to keep showing up >> you can't do. and then i saying this is where the campaign is doing. you can't do on tiktok and thank you, reach all of young americans. some arnon samar, but he's going to need to continue to have this

conversation with young voters, talking to them about their issues. young voters, also, most voters that this point in our electoral cycle are not single issue voters, so they care about the war that is having him in the middle east and in ukraine, they care about student loan debt, but they also care about the environment. and so the president needs to show up, not just on college campuses, but other places, not every young person goes to college and have these conversations with them, listen to them, engage with them, she continued to prove all the things that he's done and let them know what he will continue to do if they trust them with four more years. >> doug heye, i believe it was a great man. doug heye who said on cnn news central at one point that's you're you're not out until you're out. so nikki haley says she's staying in through super tuesday. do you think she stays in past that? do you think she'll stay until the conventions at this point? >> well, i'm hoping to see her. i'll be in north carolina this weekend. i hope to see her at one of her events in raleigh to see firsthand whether or not

she does she's certainly making an argument that general election voters want to hear. and it's, and it's a strong one the reality is that's not where the republican party is. she's conceding some of that. whether she stays in past super tuesday tuesday, i think depends potentially on some of those results, but yeah, she's not going to say i may get out after super tuesday because at that point, you might as well get out before super tuesday. so she's going to continue to say the things that she's been saying and say loudly and frequently because there is an audience that once that it's a small audience within the republican party, but it's is there. and if you're an independent voter, you like that messaging a whole lot. >> ashley allison, doug heye, great to see you both this morning. thank you so much. >> thank you >> moments from now, hundreds of people are expected to be attending a rally outside the alabama state capital as families are protesting. the state supreme court's decision impacting ivf this is the greatest stage what's the told

law. joining us right now is democratic state representative anthony daniels. he's a state house minority leader who sponsored that bill that i was just describing a portion of it in order leader, thank you for coming on this morning. your bill, and especially what i just read there is trying to directly counter the state supreme court ruling that said an embryo is considered child under state law state republican lawmakers, there filing similar yet different measures. what is the status of your ville bill? how soon could you see a vote? >> what we can see a vote on mobile as early as tuesday, right now, the committees are meeting today. my ability not on the agenda. they did assign my bill to the judiciary committee instead of the health committee, but they assign another bill to the health committee, which further does more damage and more unintended consequences. and so they're not correcting the problem, they're actually making it worse. >> hear you saying, i assume you're talking about one of the bills that republicans have

sponsored that republicans against have come up with. >> yes. >> so what's happening here >> take, take, >> take us inside the state legislature from your view, what is happening. do you think your bill is going to get a vote eventually? >> i think that my bill has an, has a chance. i think that once people see the difference between my view of the stark difference between my bills and the bill that the republican intricate republicans introduced. my bill actually addresses the problem and addresses the court ruling there'll be all just further protect gives immunity with no regard to a fertilized embryo not being the child. so there's no their bill doesn't actually address the issue that the courts have ruled on what those bills where you're getting at just to bring people to speed. and if i'm summarizing and paraphrasing correctly, is offering protections from liability to patients and providers that offer these treatments. i think i'm paraphrasing that correctly. i have to say it is

hard to find bipartisan agreement on anything anywhere when it comes to any legislature, a kind of across the country this moment. >> do you >> think broadly everyone in terms of state lawmakers, democrat and republican are on board with trying to do something to counter what the state supreme court ruling did >> i will say that 100% of democrats are on boy was trying to dresses. there are some republicans that may fit into the more moderate category. this also interested in solving this issue. but you have those that are on the far right that are still thinking they're still applauding the supreme court decision instead of trying to address this issue head on. and so there is a coalition that can be assembled to address this issue head-on, but i think that the shortsightedness of the senators bill does not address the issue. and so as from a democratic standpoint we're not necessarily on board. we're not, we're not endorsing the senators, bill weir still in support a mobiel that clearly

defines a fertilized embryo. of not being a child democrats in congress. >> they are >> also trying to take action on the federal level with regard to this today kind of a bid to enshrine protections for for ivf into federal law. but senate republicans are signaling they want to block that effort because they say that ivf is a states rights issue. they think it's something that the state should be handling, not the federal government. >> do >> you see congress? do you want to see congress stepping in to take action on this or do you want issues surrounding ivf to be left to state lawmakers like yourself? >> well, i what i would like congress to address this issue as we've seen from these abate of roe v. wade being overturned. >> and they love all that alabama has is one of the worst in the country. most restrictive abortion ban in the country. and so we've stays

have given been given an opportunity to address many important issues that deals with women's reproductive rights. but a state of alabama have chosen to put in the most restrictive law. and so we can't depend on the state of alabama to solve this problem at the level that we need for families. >> rally is going to be happening very soon today at the state capital of ivf families and advocates who are pushing for protections for ivf treatments. and it sounds like there may be progress amongst lawmakers, but kind of unclear what you're all, what the path forward is to get to the governor's desk will have to check back again. minority leader daniels. thank you for joining us john >> all right. >> we are standing by in washington behind me. you see a lot of expectant cameras and reporters waiting for the arrival of hunter biden, who will testify behind closed doors. let's wait and see if he is in fact arriving and we can see him behind these very tall people in any case, hunter biden is set to arrive. he will testify shortly in the impeachment inquiry into his father. the testimony itself
