pageantry and sports when the eyes will be on russia. there are extra security measures in place, but most of the russians we have been speaking to here in the sleepy port of sochi, they tell us they are not worried about terrorism. they are simply excited about the eminent launch of the winter games. both 21-year-olds came here two weeks ago to work at a hotel. >> translator: we're not afraid of any threats. there are many police and places like the train station. >> i asked her if she was afraid of terrorist attacks. she says, look how many police officers we have on the streets.

she's right. you can spot those police wearing tall fur the has outside many olympic venues walking alongside uniformed police. one week before the games, anticipation is clearly building. though we also find some residents of sochi who just can't wait for the olympics to be over. >> three different forms of identification are required just to get to work and back. you understand how much security is ahead of these games. the opening ceremonies for the olympic games are next friday. ahead here on cnn, two big questions for governor chris christie of new jersey. what did he know and when did he

know it? the new jersey governor facing more questions about those lane closures that snarled traffic on one of the busiest bridges in the entire country. [ male announcer ] research suggests cell health

governor chris christie is disputing new claims about what he may have known ab the infamous shutdown of traffic lanes. the latest accusations come from a lawyer from a one-time christie ally. >> reporter: chris christie wasn't answering questions on his way to howard stern's 60th birthday party where instead he posed with a new jersey icon. >> ladies and gentlemen, jon bon jovi. >> reporter: not talking about the scandal threatening his political future. this one from david wildstein.

he's the authority who e-mailed him time for traffic problems in fort lee. and then shutdown two lanes of the george washington bridge snarling traffic last september. >> i think he's looking for some sort of immunity. >> reporter: in this letter his attorney warns evidence exists. tying christie to evidence of having knowledge of the lane closures. >> i think we don't really know that wildstein is saying he has evidence or he's going to indicate that the governor knew the motive or gave the order to close the lanes. >> as for that reported evidence -- >> he should be subpoenaed. he has no right not to disclose physical evidence that exists. they can get that without giving him broad immunity. >> reporter: he's doubling down. mr. wildstein's lawyer confirms what the governor has said all

along. he had no prior knowledge of the lane closures before they happened. and whatever the most motivations for closing them to begin with. it cites him. >>. the first i ever heard about the issue was when it was reported in the press. >> reporter: and this january 9th news conference where he asserts he didn't learn the back story that the lane closures may have been political retribution until the morning before. >> i knew nothing about this until it started to be reported many the papers about the closure. even then, i was told this was a traffic study. >> reporter: this comes as christie was about to get positive national attention hosting the super bowl. >> let's talk about the political impact of the new twist in the chris christie i a saga. . we have a historian from princeton university. we have been talking about this awhile before you came onset. i wonder big picture.

we don't know what the reported evidence is. we don't have it yet. monday would be the first we might see what it is. even if christie is vindicated in this and it's proven that he had no prior knowledge, as he has said. reputationly, what has happened to him? >> this fuels the story that he's hiding things and it also brings us back with the original story of why these bridges are closed. this might be the last news some people read about it. so it's very damaging just to have it out there. >> especially when you're talking about someone who is a likely presidential candidate. this is the weekend that governor christie is supposed to be celebrating. he woke up to an editorial in the new jersey paper. it said if this charge proves true, then the governor must resign or be impeached.

by the own standards, lying is a firing offense. give me perspective as a historian what you would relate this to. >> at this point, we're still talking about a small, petty act in terms of the actual closure and lying. >> we do know it even snarled traffic that emergency vehicles couldn't get where they needed to fast enough. >> that's true. that's not an impeachable offense. we're not talking about covering up an investigation by one branch of the executive branch. so even that on the face of it doesn't mean it's a crime. and the lying right now, the timing, we're not sure what the letter is referring to. we need to give it a little time before we reach the conclusion that he has to step down. there's time for the governor to respond, to react r f us to sort through the material. >> the governor's office came

out with a statement saying this is absolutely not the case. the governor had no idea about the closures until afterwards. he found out from the press. how important is it for us to hear from governor christie in person on camera responding to this? >> it will be important. this timing issue, it's not about the motivation for closing the lanes. the issue is did he go in front of the cameras, lie to the press and lie to his voters. that speaks poorly about his character if it's true, and that's why it's important to hear from him what the true story is. >> we do not know. we don't know. all that the letter said is evidence exists. what is that evidence? we can't rush to judgment. talking about chris christie, such an internationally known political figure heading into the 2016 presidential race. whether he runs or not, we don't know. many eyes are on him. what does this do even if everything is unfounded to

someone who may want to be the leader of the free world? >> it's going to raise doubts about his strength as a candidacy. his donors are going to get nervous about mvsing many him for 2016. it might lead to some other candidates to get into the race. >> who are you talking about? >> we're going to get into that with jeb bush later on in the program. we're still a long ways away from the 2016 race. time changes everything. appreciate you coming many. thanks for being us. a programming note. tune in tomorrow morning to state of the union wp jake tapper sat down with president obama this weekend. an interesting interview. everything from immigration reform to marijuana. you can see the entire interview tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern. time to head down to the party zone. don lemon is hanging out with

appreciation for the country, our troops overseas and at home. here's what he said to me about his partnership with them. >> how are you doing? >> new york is very excited. you can feel it all over the city today. >> don't you need a bigger coat today? >> it's cold, but even colder. st not windy. the wind for a quarterback, you hate the wind. >> tell me about the salute to service award you're involved in. >> i have been involved for the last few years. we're partnered with the nfl. we're still in a crazy world. very unstable. we have men and women coming back from afghanistan and iraq, to honor them and show them we care about them, it means a lot. they pass that down to their kids. we are appreciative. we lost a lot in vietnam as far as how the veteran was treated. we have turned that around, totally turned it around as far as realizing these men and women

are fighting for you and me and our kids, our grand kids. so it's really important that we continue to support our veterans and they deserve it. every day they are out there protecting us. >> thank you. you're amazing. are you going to show me? >> you guys gave me this ball. i haven't thrown for a couple weeks now. >> a couple weeks? you're probably still better. >> i played in a flag football game. when you throw a football, when you see a spiral, you turn this way. if you turn this way, that's when you get -- actually sherman said peyton manning throws some ducks now and then. >> did you see that? >> what is that? he's throwing 55 touchdown passes. >> when you release the ball,

you learn how to release it. you have to have your fingers turning out. >> it's got to go that way. >> it will turn this way. it will spin off your hand that way. >> do you always want to throw spirals? >> you'd like to. it's easier to catch a spiral. >> i'm going to go this way. >> are you ready? >> you want to go deep. >> see that? that was a little bit of a ducky. >> like this? >> that was a spiral. >> you got. good hands too. >> am i pretty good? >> i got it. i got it. >> you want to go deeper than that?

welcome back, everyone. don lemon live here on super bowl boulevard. this is one of 13 city blocks jam packed with tens of thousands of football fans pumped up for super bowl. xlviii. given the size and scope of it all, you can imagine the security challenge this is posing for law enforcement. i'm having to show my media i.d. and also seeing uniformed police and military. there are undercover officers on the streets as well. and there are officers on every street corner, just about every inch of city here and in the skies above me. let's talk more about new york city security and about crime. the nypd, while they will stop at nothing to prevent an ape

attack, they are getting ready for a huge change in how they keep new york safe. they are doing a 180 on the tactic of stop and frisk and making good on a campaign promise to turn the page on one of the most devisive problems in our city. it's a major departure from the position on the city. michael bloomberg refused to back down on stop and frisk. >> we are joined by a former president of just leadership usa and a retired law enforcement agent with the nassau county police department. thank you for joining us. we talked about this before when the new mayor was coming many and said he would put an end to the policy. do you think this is a mistake by the mayor? he's not stopping the policy, but he's making major changes. >> i think what we're going to have to find out is exactly what the changes translate to.

it was reported today we seerns. ed a spike in the shootings. so what i would say to you is that i want to say what they put in practice. >> glen, what do you think of the move by the new mayor? >> i think it's absolutely the right move. in the best case scenario, stop and frisk has been a policy that hasn't worked and wasted resources. worst scenario, it's been data-driven racial profiling. >> what do you think about what lou said? it's been reported there's been a 30% spike in gun violence. what do you think of that? is that because of stop and frisk and the policy change? >> i think through the entire life of stop and frisk as a policy in new york, we haven't been able to draw any sort of correlation between increased stop and frisk and reductions in

crime. >> i would have to argue that point. if i could revisit history about 20 years ago when bill bratton was the first police commissioner, we had over 2200 homicides in the city every year. through the use of stop and frisk that these shootings and these homicides were so dramatically reduced to approximately 500. it was done through the implementation of stop and frisk. >> what's the disconnect here? glen is saying there's no data that shows. stop and frisk works. you're saying there is data. you don't think there's a more effective form of police stop and frisk? >> to be honest with you, what has to happen is there has to be a revision in the approach, the implementation. herein lies the problem. when you have a crime statistic

of 2200 homicides, you can pretty much justify almost any program that will stop these homicides. once the homicides roll back, you then have to come back and readdress the implementation of the program. when a police agency, whether it's new york city, chicago, boston, philly, l.a., whomever it may be elects to implement this program, it's based on statistics. for example, if you go into one particular area in a community that has a heightened number of shootings, clearly you're going to implement that policy in that neighborhood. it is effective. it's been proven statistically to reduce our homicide rate. >> stop and frisk is the equivalent of fishing with a machine gun. the fact of the matter is you're going to catch fish, but you're going to destroy the community. young men and women of color at a point in their lives where they are trying to determine their identity are being sent the wrong message by our police department. the only reason we were able to do this is we're so good at watching the data.

stop and frisk happens all over this country. luckily we had a mayor that allowed us to crystallize what was happening on the streets of new york, but the same thing is happening around the country. >> stop and frisk is pretty much a part of every single police department. but the extent to which they were doing it in new york city, that's what got the nation's attention. >> i actually spoke to that though. i acknowledged the fact with the crime statistic of over 2200 homicides, you have a lot of support for a program of this type. when the homicides are reduced, you then have to come back and revisit how you're going to implement. the policy needs to stay in place. maybe it needs to be implemented more tactically. perhaps that's the approach as oppose from going to one extreme to the other. >> glen, before you jump in, it appears that the mayor is

agreeing with what lou is saying because he's not getting rid of the program. he's making sure there's oversight to the program and making sure it's done correctly, if done. >> i have always agreed that stop and frisk should be used like a surgeon scalcall pl. >> that's what's going to take place. we have bill bratton spear head ing this problem. this is a very, very sensitive problem. >> wasn't he the one that put stop and frisk into place in the beginning in the '90s? >> that's right, don. i spoke to that 20 years ago. >> thank you, guys. thank you. that's going to have to be it. we appreciate you coming on. we'll talk about it again once

we see what happens with the new policy. the broncos and the seahawks haven't just prepared to play the super bowl. they have also had to get ready for the frigid temperatures. it's going to be a little warmer tomorrow. up next, we'll take a look at how the teams are gearing up to stay warm during the big game. those little things still get you.

football's got-to-haves for the game. >> stocking hattings a heavier one, lighter one. players like the dog ear hats. >> minnesota vikings equipment manager is showing us all the things he uses to keep players and coaches warm. long underwear, hand warmers, ponchos, masks and gloves. >> just a very thin glove that's battery operated. >>. ryan has been with the vikings for 30 years. in the old days when the team played home games outside, coach bud grant outlawed heaters forcing players to improvise. >> if the rock is hot, throw them in a towel, bring them out to the sideline, lay them on the ground and guys would huddle around the rocks. >> former running back played with baltimore and atlanta. he's one of those guys who never wore sleeves no matter how cold it was. >> when you wear sleeves, you have that nylon or whatever

material on you, when you're holding the ball, it gets slippery. >> warm skin is a huge hit with most of the guys. everybody likes to wear the bear arms. >> warm skin is a cream that players put on when they don't wear sleeves like colin kaepernick during the frigid playoff game in green bay. >> they love it. they have used it and all the teams utilize it. >> the makers of warm skin is made here in minneapolis, unlike vaseline when the nfl frowns on, warm skin forms a nonslippery barrier on the skin. they sell lots of it to people who work outside but their best customer is the nfl and it's likely that some of the players will be using it super bowl sunday. >> we imagine they are. we don't know for sure, but i assume they are. >> this sunday the players will have lots of things to keep warm. >> it's an insulated boot to keep the foot warm.

>> no matter how cold it get, all they need is for the game to start. >> they have to be tough mentally and physically and just block it out and play. >> ted rowlands, e den prayeiri minnesota. >> it's going to be cold for the super bowl, but it's going to be dry. that's good news. is it going to be dry? let's ask our weather expert jennifer gray. >> as we look forward to sunday, the forecast couldn't be better. only a couple of offshore showers. by the afternoon, things look nice and clear. temperatures will be chilly, but not as cold as they could be. we all know that. 47 degrees for a high temperature in east rutherford, new jersey. not that bad. winds out of the west at 6 miles per hour. kickoff, seahawks and broncos, 43 degrees.

feeling like 37 with winds out of the northwest at 5 to 10 miles per hour. a lot of folks heading to the game say they will take it. >> we'll take it, thank you. poppy harlow, back in the studio, check it out. i told them that you were anchoring and they said we're going to make it like hollywood and they put some flashing spotlights up for you. look at that. it's just for you. >> look at that. i got a feeling it might be for you, don lemon. but thank you, i will take it. we have a crazy story coming up. you travel a lot. listen to this. a former tsa screener telling all and what he has to say will shock you. that's next.
