suspects who shot two plainclothed police officers last night. >> one of the officers was hit in the arm and back and is in critical condition. the other officer took a bullet to the chest, he is said to be stable. both officers undergoing surgery overnight. police just released surveillance video of one of the suspects they're looking for at in a nearby restaurant near the scene. the two suspects remain at large and a $10,000 reward something offered by police. can you see the man turning around. you can see the gun in his hand it was a .44. we want to get to miguel marquez with the latest. miguel? >> the video is very disturbing it's important to point out that these were plain headline clothed police officers who were responding to a situation at the end of their shift. they were not targeted like the previous police officers who died the last couple of weeks. but the nypd is on full alert.

>> breaking this morning, the nypd on a manhunt. >> it's crazy. i live here and i i no he two cops getting shot? it's ridiculous. >> police scouring new york city for two male suspects who allegedly shot two plainclothes nypd officers overnight. surveillance video shows one of the suspects at a shop window and turning and a the suspect fire as gun. the officers responding to a robbery at a grocery store in the bronx near the end of their shift. >> as two of the officers approached the male. the other suspect inside the store came out and fired on the officers. the officers returned fire and during the exchange two anti-crime officers was wounded. >> one of the ostsers, a 30-year-old male is in critical but stable condition after suffering gunshot wounds to his arm and lower back. the other, a 38-year-old shot in the chest and arm, also in stable condition.

>> it's getting dangerous out here. >> new york police commissioner said the suspects fled the scene in a van later found abandoned. >> shortly after the shooting incident. investigators were notified of a male who had entered colombia presbyterian hospital in upper manhattan with gunshot wounds. detectives are investigating any connection. >> this comes as the police department is still reeling from the loss of two of their own in a city still grappling with tensions. >> these officers did something that was extraordinarily brave this evening and they did it as part of their commitment. this instance where they went above and beyond the call. this is absolutely a case of officers going above and beyond the call to protect their fellow new yorkers. >> now there has been a question as to whether or not new york

city police are on a work slowdown. arrests, summons, criminal summons are down significantly for a second week in a row. in this particular case these officers appeared to be getting off duty and responded in any event. police say they're going to look into if there is a slowdown and if there is they will act. >> the shootings come at a tense time in new york. the mayor here bill de blasio accused of fostering an anti-police climate in the city. he's firing back blasting hundreds of cops who turned their backs on him at sunday's funerals for a fallen officer. let's bring back our cnn political commentator and anchor at new york 1 news errol lewis and nick kasale founder of casale associates is here. and i was struck when reading of the two new york city police officers got shot and the mayor

came to visit the officers and the article made a point to say how he was greeted by the officers at the hospital. he they said they coldly allowed him into the hospital. as if that should be an issue. what we should be concerned about here is the health and well-being of these two officers who were shot during their job. but the situation in the city has become so poisonous that how the officers greeted the mayor at the hospital is part of the story now. >> well that's right. how the officers have greeted the mayor over the last several weeks has in fact been one of the few avenues available to them to express their displeasure, other than having their union head bash the mayor. which seems to happen quite regularly. the relationship is toxic. the relationship is almost irretrievable in some respects. however, the mayor does what he has to do. he talked yesterday about how there's no need for the toxic relationship in part because we've had an historic lowering in crime.

historic lows in police even firing their weapons. the city has never been safer and every statistic proves it and yet you have this sort of political tussle over who said what. and of course they're in the background is this police contract. that's still being negotiated. which is really in some ways powering a lot of the division here. >> nick, let's back up and talk about the two officers in the hospital recovering for getting shot while doing their jobs trying to stop a robbery. what does it say about these two officers that they did do this they went in despite the climate that's out there right now. >> it tells you overall environment of what's going on here. the police are going to respond as we keep saying to every call of emergency. they're going to be there to help their fellow citizens. they're disgruntled at the mayor, and rightfully so but they're not going to turn away from their duties and obligations, there is a toxic element here. that a lot of that goes back towards the mayor's relationship with the police where now you are starting to see, is settle a direct nexus to the

assassinations? no but there's an unraveling of respect for the police where you could now be involved in an anti-police incident and you don't see that as the stigma that it used to be. so there is some fall-out to this. >> let's, new york "daily news" by the way errol has got a terrific editorial in this paper today. "the new york daily news" says end this war now. you say the officers are out doing their jobs and those two were certainly doing their jobs. but there are questions about whether all officers are doing their jobs. the drop in some of these arrests and summons has been precipitous. as many as 90% fewer summons than during the same period last year. half as many arrests. i mean these statistics they -- how do you explain this nick? >> well let me say that errol is a distinguished columnist and it's always good to be on with him and i like his piece. but i think what we're seeing here is that we're trying to

take the focus onto the decline of summons and trying to broad-brush that into a job action it's not. >> is this just coincidental? >> it's intentional. it's intentional because the most dangerous aspect of law enforcement is not some fbi agent tracking down terrorists or some detectives going after someone for a homicide. it's the unknown that the two police officers in the radio car respond to. look at pittsburgh and houston. they doubled up their police cars from one to two. it is the incident of the car-stop for the traffic violation. it's walking up to tenement steps going to a domestic dispute. that's the danger. right now under the prevailing conditions the police say -- we should have an additional car there. >> so the numbers are going down because of how they're policing to stay safe. errol, the question is and i've asked you this before it becomes more urgent now after we see the shootings overnight and there continues to be this war between the police and city hall -- how does it stop?

who has to reach out more at this point? >> the mayor is in charge of the police department. the mayor is voted in by the voters of the city. he is where the buck stops. he went an extraordinary two weeks without doing any press conferences. >> yesterday he called the police to turn their backs on him disrespectful. is that helping? >> yes, well i think it's the right tone to set. he can't act as if he's afraid of the police. he can't act as if he's been intimidated by the police they are under his command. they have been doing what is constitutionally per missable but very unwise from a public safety standpoint. which is to openly show displeasure and turn their backs on the mayor. i don't know what you could call it except a job action this is not a good atmosphere and the mayor let them know that it's not going to continue. it cannot continue. >> as we look ahead like this and this war now. do you think that the media environment in new york city do you think the tabloids are

making this worse than it is? >> look ten years ago we wouldn't be 20 years ago, this wouldn't be national news. we wouldn't be talking about it on cnn. it's -- there's an element of that. you know but you know that is the politics of the city. >> i think the most important thing here to look at is what democrats are coming out in supporting him? you don't see the black, african-american officers association, such as the guardians, the 100 enforcement. ws the broad-based support. you don't see one democratic-elected person standing next to the mayor coming to his aid in this. he's on his own. he got himself into this trouble. and he is stubbornness is not allowing him to get out it. i think he's got issues. >> it's a discussion that should be about the health and

well-being of the two officers shot doing their job. we appreciate your insight. thanks for being here. we need to talk about the weather, it is cold outside. much of the country dealing with frigid temperatures this morning. so let's get to meteorologist chad myers. >> the fact that it's january is not lost on me i get it. but this is still cold. it feels like 5 degrees in albany. it feels like 1 below in rochester. there's snow in fill l.a. slick spots around d.c. and baltimore. but the cold is still to come. look at this through the midwest. it feels like 16 below in minneapolis. 20 below in marquette. and the air is sinking to the south and to the east. so new york this is the warmest you're going 0 get for a few days. so enjoy 19. by the time you wake up thursday friday morning we're going to be talking about wind chills well below zero. frigid air coming way out of the north, straight down into the u.s. warm in the southwest. you'll see temperatures in the 70s and 80s. when it snowed in vegas a couple

of days ago, it's the ups and downs of the jet stream. the down is here in the east this week. it will be cold all wait to northern florida. highs in new york city get to 23 that will never feel like that with the wind chill. it's still going to feel like 5 on friday. so all of those coats and scarves and gloves that you got for christmas will get well used. alisyn? >> there's that silver lining. presents you can use. thanks so much. let's get over to michaela for more news. we begin with something that hits close to home here, family friends and political heavyweights will gather in new york city this morning to say a final good-bye to former new york governor mario cuomo. former fist couple bill and hillary clinton, as well as attorney general eric hold remember among those expected to attend. cuomo, who served three terms as governor who leaves a legacy of speaking out for the voiceless and powerless, we send our very best to our colleague and

friend chris cuomo, at this very difficult time for his family. the 114th congress convenes with republicans in charge of the house and the senate. gop leaders are intent on undoing some of president obama's key policies. including health care and immigration. that could be a prescription for gridlock. a new cnn/orc poll suggests that's what most people are expecting. 47% expect there will be no difference in how much congress gets done. while 37% think the new congress will get more done than the last congress. although the bar wasn't exactly set too high. a member of the grand jury that cleared ferguson police officer darren wilson in the michael brown shooting is suing to lift a gag order. the federal suit names st. louis county prosecutor bob mccullough as the defendant. the complaint says the unidentified grand juror wants to speak publicly in order to contribute to the national conversation on race relations, it is a crime for grand jury members to speak out without a court's permission.

live pictures of cape canaveral, spacex's falcon 9 rocket is expected to launch around 6:20 sending a capsule of supplies to the international space station. the amazing feat is that minutes later, the rocket will attempt to land in a soft landing on a barge in the ocean. we're looking at a live shot here of the control center. for mission control. so again, they're going to try to do a soft landing, their idea is that they want to create and pioneer a reusable rocket. this is potentially groundbreaking we'll have live pictures of liftoff when it happens. >> we'll look forward to that michaela. severe weather conditions hampering the search for flight 8501. time is running out to find the plane's black boxes.

my tempur-pedic made me fall in love with mornings again. i love how it conforms to my body. with tempur-pedic the whole bed is comfortable. we actually got our bed as an engagement gift from her parents. maybe that's the secret to marriage. you're gonna stay together if you have a tempur-pedic bed. i told our friends, this is the best investment i've ever made. it's helping to keep us young. i love my bed. (vo) it's your year. treat youself to your best night's sleep with tempur-pedic.

clock is ticking in the search for pings in the black boxes. six more victims have been identified and now the prevailing belief is that most of the remaining bodies could be strapped in their seats. at the bottom of the java sea. we can't want to get to indonesia now. >> well john as you can imagine there's a great deal of frustration being felt by members of the search and recovery team with bad weather again tam hampering the efforts to find bodies, the wreckage of the plane and the essential black boxes which will have the answers as to why the flight crashed into the sea. divers have every intention of getting into the water, but the visibility was so bad that the mission was scrapped. two extra bodies were found today, taking total number to

39. but as of tonight, 123 passengers and crew are still missing. this morning the search and recovery team spotting at least two more bodies in the stormy java sea believed to be victims on board airasia flight 8501. officials believing most of the remaining bodies are still strapped to their seats inside the aircraft at the bottom of the sea. a possible discovery, only the recovery divers will able to locate. all on standby today due to monsoon rain and high waves. the ocean floor around 100 feet below these crashing waves. two exploratory divers say they're encountering muddy waters with zero visibility. unable to see anything laying on the bottom. meanwhile, indonesian officials have identified six more bodies of the airliners' 39 victims found so far.

now on day ten, officials say the rest of the 162 passengers on board will be harder to identify if found. >> from the first days you can find the body in very good condition. but lately you'll find the dead bodies more decomposed. >> well john these black boxes, that have been in the water now for ten days they have another 20 before the batteries run out. so as you can imagine, a great deal of pressure is on to find them. >> our anna coren in surabaya indonesia. we'll talk more about the search but before that i want to show you live pictures of cape canaveral in florida, a launch is about to take place in a few seconds of a falcon 9 rocket. that is lifting off, sending a capsule to the international

space station carrying cargo. what's fascinating is the spacex the company that's doing this is trying something for the first time they're trying to use a reusable rocket. a rocket that is blasting the supplies off will fall into the sea and they're going to try to land the rocket on a platform a small floatable platform in the ocean. they say there's only about a 50% chance the thing will work. but if it does you can only imagine how many millions and millions of dollars they'll be able to save in the future. we're just a few seconds away from lift-off. let's see where they are right now. let's listen in. >> it doesn't appear to be launching at this time. but we're keeping our eyes ss on this. now let's gg go back to more on the search for 8501. >> let's bring in mary sciavo a cnn aviation analyst and former

inspector general at the department of transportation. david gallo is a director of special problems at the woods hole oceanographic institution, he helped lead the search for air france flight 447. david, i want to start with you, the searchers have had quite a time trying to get into the ocean to look for victims and any debris. what are they confronting? what are the conditions that's making this so tough? >> i'm sure they're extremely frustrated as we are sitting on the sidelines, watching. it must be a heavy current. they can't hold position and when they get in the water they've got zero visibility. and that adds up to a very dangerous situation when you're working around wreckage on the bottom. >> mary, without hearing the pinging of the black boxes, since they haven't been able to how do they know they're looking in the right place? >> well they only can do that they can only know where to look by where the wreckage has been found and trying to trace the wreckage back based on currents

and current time tables and the flow of the wreckage and the bodies in the ocean. it's kind of basically backtracking upstream. and then with the sighting of parts, what they thought to be big parts of the plane. they're hoping part of that might be the tail. so literally, just tracking the debris and somewhat intuition. >> david, is this weather unusual that they're experiencing? or is that part of the problem in that region and maybe even what brought down the plane? >> i don't know, it may be very indirectly related to what brought down the plane, the monday soons that you've got these huge cells, storm cells. but the visibility in the water certainly any place that it rains in this area the water is going to trickle down and eventually end up in the java sea. i'm afraid even if the weather above is welcoming, the weather below, the visibility may still be cloudy for weeks to come. it may be an awful long time before the visibility clears up. >> that's terrible to hear.

mary one of the theories of what brought down the plane is that it confronted a violent storm. if that's what happened what lesson do other airlines learn from this crash? >> actually many lessons, i think indonesian airlines in that area of the world are looking very closely already first and foremost is the airlines' role in briefing the pilots what kind of weather resources, and even whether the on-board radar was properly working, et cetera they're reviewing all of that. because you know in this country and many other western nations, you have the weather function a weather function weather forecasting, meteorologists right in the airport and the airlines' dispatch works with the pilots to decide. another places a pilot just checks the weather, sometimes publicly available weather and makes the decision on her or his own. those things are being reviewed. and of of course indonesia is looking at why the plane was allowed to take off and to go

this route when they didn't have approval to fly. there's lots of things they're looking at and can improve right now. >> mary sciavo david gallo, thanks so much. >> the rocket launch we're watching in florida has been delayed for a time. we'll try to find out why and get thaw information shortly. meanwhile, her mother father and sister are gone killed in a plane crash that she survived. so what will become of 7-year-old sailor gusler now that she's back in her hometown of illinois. two rising stars of the u.s. ski team killed in an avalanche. we will speak to their coach about the tragedy and how their teammates are coping. ♪ ♪ you're only young once. unless you have a subaru.

terrible accident has skiers around the world mourning two of their own. 19-year-old bryce astle and 20-year-old bernie berlack died in an avalanche. rescuers were unable to get to them in time. >> this is a dark day for the u.s. ski team two of its prospective members were killed at an austrian ski resort.

they had been the athletes had been skiing off-trail at team's european training base when an avalanche took their lives. >> it's a very sad day for the u.s. ski team. >> on these slopes, a beautiful day gave way to disaster. as two skiers lost their lives monday. two olympic hopefuls 20-year-old ronnie berlack and 19-year-old bryce astle, were among a group of six athletes skiing down the mountain. the group venturing into an area off the prepared path and under an avalanche alert. according to the resort the skiers triggered the avalanche that took their lives, the our four able to ski out without injuries. the rescue effort lasting nearly an hour 60 people two helicopters, dog and me medical staff rushing to the scene. the two were found buried under nine to 15 feet of snow. berlack and astle both had promising ski careers ahead of them.

berlack, a new hampshire native was recently named to the u.s. ski team development team. >> hi, my name is bryce astle. >> astle, who grew up skiing in utah was invited to train with the team this season after posting strong results earlier in the season. friends and family heartbroken by the news. >> he showed me the joy and the sport. sand the love and the passion and made me want to come back and keep skiing. it's hard to be out here without him. >> fine young man, always had a big smile on his face. we're always real happy to see him and the type of the kid that would come in and say hi steve, look right at you and smile. >> well this morning, i spoke to a resort official who told me there had been other avalanche accidents in the area. in the days leading up to this tragedy. but those skiers had been equipped with emergency beacons and were able to be rescued. john? >> so sad, erin mcgloughlin

thanks so much. michaela? joining me now is sasha rearic the head coach of the u.s. men's ski team and he knew bryce and ronnie. he joins me on the phone, i'm glad i can speak to you, how are you doing? >> we're holding strong as a family together. the entire u.s. ski team. the athletes that are here and also the athletes that are spread out around europe doing different competitions we're holding strong as a family. for sure it's been an emotional 24 hours. but the strength of our family is unbelievable. >> you speak about this family i know that skiers and downhill sports athletes are very close-knit. you often train at the same facilities and i understand that your development team there were six people skiing when this horrible accident happened. and that some of the other skiers tried to rescue ronnie and bryce, tell us about that.

>> yeah four of our athletes were first ones on the scene. digging, helping, helping rescuers point in the right direction. shoveling as fast and as hard as possible. our coaching staff, was nearby ran up the hill. to where the avalanche finally settled and took part in the whole process, too. the amount of strength that those encouraged that those individuals demonstrated was remarkable. >> remarkable indeed. and such heartbreaking, such trauma for them to endure. i understand it happened near the european training base. at one point, the group of skiers went off-trail and that's what triggered the avalanche. is this a rare kind of accident to happen in your experience? >> i've been with the u.s. ski team for 12 15 years and this is the first time we've had any

incident like this. you know the athletes were out skiing like our, like the general public of the general tourists that are here in solden enjoying the great mountain huge mountain that it is here. >> a beautiful area. huge majestic mountains. give us an idea about these two young men, i want you to tell us a little bit more ronnie fromconia franconia, new hampshire, he was injured recently wasn't any. >> a tremendous team player teammate to individuals, everybody loved his energy and enthusiasm for being part of the team. it was his dream. to be a ski racer, to be on the national team and reach his olympic aspirations. and such a team person. always looking out for coaches and athletes and the service guys tremendous individual

always always wanting to do the best for the team. bryce always had a smile on his face always enjoyed whatever he was doing. training hard or hanging with friends, he had a smile on his face which brought energy and enthusiasm to anybody around him. especially me. >> i can hear it in your voice, the you're struggling to come to terms with this two young men cut down in their prime of their lives. i understand that you've got some racers that are going to be competing today in croatian world cup events. and the skiers have the choice whether to compete or not. you talk about this close-knit group. do you get a sense that they want to go ahead and still enter the competition? or are they struggling to make sense of all this? >> i mean everybody is going to handle this differently. and we're putting together plan so that each individual coach, athlete, service, physio can move forward. and in the best way they can. and for many of the athletes that's going to mean getting in

the start gate. getting back in the saddle and charging down the mountain. that's what bryce and ronnie would have wanted us to do. and you know so the guys there in croatia said we're going to charge we're going to race in their honor. you know the athletes that are here in solden who were closer to the scene, were making plans individually for what's best for those guys to move forward and gain strength from this tragedy for the rest of their lives. >> it will likely impact them for the rest of their lives, we know there's a lot of people impacted by this two lives lost. the families the people of the ski team all the support people as well. our thoughts and prayers are with you all. sasha rearick, we thank you so much for joining us and we send the best to you and the team. >> thank you very much. alisyn? well new yorkers say a final farewell to former new york

welcome back to "new day." former new york governor mario cuomo will be laid to rest this morning. he served as governor for three terms, became the standard-bearer for the democratic party. he was the father of the current new york governor andrew cuomo and the father of our friend and colleague, chris cuomo. about 1,000 mourners including vice president joe biden and chris christie paid their respects to cuomo, some waiting hours in the line in the cold. joining us is someone who knew the governor well and sparred with him often, bill bennett, the education second under president reagan and the drug policy director under george h.w. bush. he hosts the national talk radio show "morning in america" good morning, mr. bennett. >> good morning, alisyn. >> we just said you sparred with mario cuomo often. had a famous debate with him. what was it like to spar with

mario cuomo? >> it wasn't a spar. if i could correct. it was more like the frasier/ali fly in manila. they were great, they were strong. i probably had 150 debates in my life and 15 of them were with mario cuomo and he was the best he was terrific. shakespeare says of his opponent in one of his characters he was a lion i was proud to hunt. he was a lion i was proud to hunt or maybe i was the lion being hunted. we went back and forth. he was terrific. he used humor, he used insight he used drama. he was the best. and i had to get my game up to be in the ring. >> and one of the things that i think made him special is that he wasn't afraid to go there. he wasn't afraid of the delicate topics he liked talking -- i don't know if he liked it. but he welcomed the opportunity to talk about religion and things that now seem to be sort

of politically incorrect. >> yeah we did a lot of that. we talked about religion we even talked about sex. we had a number of debates in which we talked about bill clinton's impeachment. and he went there. and we talked about it we disagreed. but again he had this charming way of doing it unlike a lot of people who will try to put new a box and criticize you, he would start by braising me and he would say well mr. bennett makes a very good argument and i'm almost persuaded, but not quite persuaded. and then he would try to lower the boom on you. but he was very effective. he was the kind of combination, alisyn of charm and steel. plus he had a great sense of humor. evocative language talked about his childhood growing up and he knew how to work an audience very effectively. i learned a lot in these debates. when we had one in seattle, i remember i thought i got beat up tonight. the next night we debated in

portland oregon and you know i tried to improve my game. but there was always a lot of mutual respect and we did talk about the right things i think. >> one of the best illustrations of everything that you're talking about was the 1984 democratic national convention when he got up and gave this very powerful keynote speech. let's listen to a portion of that. >> mr. president, you ought to know that this nation is more a tale of two cities than it is just a shining city on a hill. >> he was there talking to president reagan. he was addressing president reagan about the poverty that existed in washington, d.c. what made that speech so special. >> well there are a few who can speak like mario cuomo. had a good education. he had a classical education. education very similar to mine. catholic schools and you know he had read the great books, he knew how to do this. he knew about rhetoric. i should say as a member of the

ronald reagan's cabinet, ronald reagan's economy lifted both cities lifted an awful lot of boats, not just the boats the rich. he had an evocative way of putting things very few people could get to those heights. there was also a personal level to him that i will appreciate. do we have time for a quick story? >> please. >> in 2003 stories came out about the fact that i was playing poker and gambling and people said my goodness the author of the "book of virtues" is doing this. the first person to defend me on television and elsewhere was mario cuomo. he got on tv and he said this is ridiculous this is not a sin. this is not a mortal sin. this is not a venial sin, using catholic theology. and said i don't know what everybody is getting upset about. and used the line which jay leno picked up. they're angry in washington because he's spending his own money and not other people's money. i will never forget that i will be forever grateful grateful to

him. and but he called me and said what can i do to help? we were on opposite sides on a lot ever things but i learned a lot from him. we worked together in a partnership for a drug-free america and we will miss his involvement in that issue. particularly in these times. >> it's great to hear that story, because now a days i don't have to tell you it's uncommon it seems for politicians to cross the aisle and support, for a democrat to support a republican and vice-versa. you know it was after that 1984 speech at the democratic national convention that people thought that mario cuomo would run for president. why do you think he chose to never run for president? >> you know i don't know there were so many stories swirling around about that. and i really don't have any idea. would he have been formidable? absolutely. there's no question. there's no question about it. he would have been formidable then. or at any time. but i don't know his reasons. and in any case he made an impact. you can hear those lines of his from that convention and see how

many times they have been copied and imitated by others democrats and republicans alike. >> what do you think his legacy is for the democratic party? >> i think his legacy first of all, he's his sons live are living that legacy and he's got to be very very proud of them. i understand that i have sons myself. i think also he remains a kind of standard bearer. is there anyone who can speak like that? who can command those upper heights of rhetoric and morality. which, which he so deftly inhabited. i don't think there's much of that any more in the democratic party, it seems to me rather small and rng i. he was not angry, he was pagsate.pags ate passionate. but not angry. that modest childhood in queens. he said we had an apartment

where the curtains separating the kids sleeping. he had lived the american dream, he believed in the american dream and spoke to it and that's that's a great gift. >> bill bennett, great to see you this morning, thanks so much for sharing your personal stories, they're wonderful to hear. >> thank you very much alisyn. there's a lot of news we're following this morning so let's get right to it. a frantic manhunt under way in new york city. >> two new york city police officers shot in the line of duty. >> these officers had come off their shift, went back out in search of these criminals. >> it's getting dangerous out here you know and this is a bad neighborhood. >> police are hunting for two gunmen. >> it's crazy, and two cops getting shot? >> an unusual twist in the michael brown shooting case. >> i've never heard of a lawsuit like this. >> one of the grand jurors wanting to speak out publicly. she was in survival mode. >> how did she make it out alive? >> legs all bleeding crying.

told me her parents were dead. >> good morning, welcome back to "new day," i'm john berman alongside alisyn camerota. a huge manhunt under way in new york city after two more officers were shot in the line of duty. these officers were responding to a robbery call in the bronx last night. one of the officers is in critical condition this morning, with gunshot wounds to the arm and back. >> so take a look at this surveillance video, right here. police say it shows one of the suspects and law enforcement is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of this man right there, you get a good shot of his face and his accomplice. miguel marquez joins us with the latest. >> very disturbing to see the latest surveillance video of the man shooting that very large .44 revolver at police. it is worth noting that these two were plainclothes police officers responding to a robbery. they were not targeted like the other two officers shot a couple

of weeks ago by the madman. but all of that said nypd son high alert. breaking this morning -- the nypd on a manhunt. >> it's crazy, i live here and i know two cops getting shot? it's ridiculous. >> police scouring new york city for two male suspects who allegedly shot two plainclothes nypd officers overnight. newly released video shows one of the suspects at a shop window then turning and the suspect fires the gun. the officers responding to a robbery at a grocery store in the bronx, near the end of their shift. >> the officers returned fire and during the exchange two anti-crime officers were wounded. >> one of the officers a 30-year-old male remains in critical but stable condition after suffering gunshot wounds to his arm and lower back. the other, a 38-year-old, who was shot in the chest and arm, also in stable condition. >> it's get dangerous out here you know, this is a bad neighborhood here.

>> new york's police commissioner said the suspects fled the scene after hijacking a car later found abandoned with a black revolver nearby. the suspects described as hispanic males between 25-30 years old. >> investigators were notified of a male who had entered colombia presbyterian hospital in upper manhattan, with a gunshot wound to the back. the detectives are currently investigating any possible connection to this previous incident. >> this comes as the police department is still reeling from the loss of two of their own in a city still grappling with tensions between police and the community. >> these officers did something that was extraordinarily brave this evening and they did it as part of their commitment, this is an absolutely a case of officers going above and beyond the call to protect their fellow new yorkers. >> all of this occurring against the backdrop of a possible nypd work slowdown. the numbers of arrests of tickets of summons, criminal and

otherwise, are all down significantly for a second week in a row. these officers clearly were not slowing down at all. they may have been getting off work when they responded to this robbery. and now they are fighting for their lives, although it looks like both will survive. john? >> miguel marquez, thanks so much. there's so many issues going on right now involved with this. the shooting came hours after new york mayor bill de blasio went on the offensive against the officers who turned their backs on him at funerals for two officers ambushed last the month. these are very difficult times between the mayor and the police force, they don't show signs of getting better at least not yet. i want to bring in nick casale nypd detective and founder of casale associates and tom fuentes, former assistant director of the fbi. these two officers are recovering in the hospital. hopefully their injuries nonlife-threatening as they say. how does how they went through being shot trying to stop a robbery, how does that embody

the danger that officers face on a daily basis? >> that sum it is up. here you have two police officer who is are assigned as anti-crime or in plainclothes civilian clothes to suppress crimes. violent crimes. that's their mission. they came upon a robbery, they engaged the perpetrator. they're shot our prayer goes out to them. the mayor has to see them. despite this rhetoric about slowdowns and everything else the police officers are doing their jobs risking their lives. >> but to be fair i don't want the mayor did see it the mayor was at the hospital last night talking about the bravery of those two officers immediately after the event happened. isn't that what a mayor is supposed to do? >> exactly. i complement them on that. remember this -- cops have great courage, cops have big hearts. and if the mayor continues to support the police the police the rank and file will be forgiving and they'll embrace

him. but based upon prior circumstances, and we see this unraveling in society about police-involved shootings, the mayor has got to do more. but he's on the right track. >> he did it last night. tom fuentes, i want to show you, if you can see it the cover of the new york "daily news." it says end this war now. it's the cover of the tabloid here. from where are you, 30,000 feet having experience on the street and also law enforcement at the highest levels what do you make of what the "daily news" and the tabloids here are billing as war between city hall and city police? >> i think, john the fact that it's this one is unprecedented. compared to previous police battles with politicians. you know in the past it might be arguments about raises or the union or their contract or you know general policies. but i think lately because the rhetoric in terms of the police

perspective has been anti-police. and particularly from the mayor, even back to his campaign. this is how they've taken it. whether the mayor intended it to be that harsh against the police or not, that's how it's been perceived. and for the police the reason they're extra sensitive to that compared to you know streets and sanitation workers being criticized let's say, is that putting the uniform on of a police officer or responding as a plainclothes officer, this is the only profession that there is where other human beings try to kill you. this doesn't happen in others. if politicians have battles with air traffic controllers, or some other union, that's one thing. but when the rhetoric turns andty police the police are concerned that people on the street it's going to increase the already-existent lack of respect in certain segments of the society. including armed robbers. and bank robbers and other violent criminals. and that's the concern the

police have. that the rhetoric helps dial up people who may already have anti-police sentiment. and may be encouraging to them that there's no reason to respect the police. no reason to hold your fire. or with all the rhetoric the police might be hesitant to shoot back. so you're going to get the first shot and get an opportunity to kill the police officer before he shoots back at you. >> you bring up a point that other officers have said to me that perception in some cases is reality and they perceive this disrespect from the mayor. on that subject, tom and nick isn't there a level of disrespect now being levied at the mayor himself? he said as much yesterday. let's listen to the sound bite. he commented about the officers who have been turning their backs on him at the funerals for the fallen comrades. >> they disrespectful to the families involved. that's the bottom line. they were disrespectful to the families who had lost their loved one. and i can't understand why anyone would do such a thing in

the context like that. >> tom fuentes made a point that sometimes things you say, seeps down and increases the level of rhetoric. creates an atmosphere a toxic atmosphere. does the mayor have a point here? that turning your back on a public official at a funeral for an officer who was assassinated does that increase the level of toxicity in this relationship? >> you know it's also what you don't say. and what you don't do that is also a sign. here you have the police showing a silent form of protests against the mayor. >> at a funeral. >> but the mayor is grasping at the fact that in his comments that they're not showing respect for their two fallen comrades. so he's injecting the thoughts of what he perceives the family to be. i haven't seen anything where either family has come out and said that that is wrongful conduct. so the mayor should not be using that as a leverage in his argument with the police. the mayor's got to learn this he's got to stand up for what he

says and he has to be bold enough to take criticism and he has to be bold enough to embrace the police. and not to fall upon the families of that officer, every cop at that funeral was willing to risk his life to respond to help those police officers. >> i think we are seeing the heroism overnight of what officers are willing to do to stop a robbery. both are in the hospital. tom fuentes i want to stop with you. i want to read to you these statistics in new york city. arrests down 75%. parking summons down 92%. traffic summonses down 92%. criminal summonses down 91%. and transit arrests, down. does that scare you? >> it's absolutely a slowdown. the only reason it doesn't scare me is because they're willing to still respond to violent crime so when you have this armed robbery last night, the police go out, even after their shift is over and they run out there

to respond to this and risk their lives. because it's violent crime. and they want to protect the people. the low level of summonses and citations that you see not being issued -- no question it absolutely is a protest. kind of a mild blue flu, but it's not a protest that involves the safety of the public. and secondly these minor crimes the summonses, the citations, they're dangerous for police too. and what happens is if one of these situations like selling illegal cigarettes turns into a violent confrontation with the police turns deadly unfortunately, then the police are criticized why were you enforcing such a minor violation? why don't we mail tickets to these people? why don't we do it some other way? and i think the police are saying look we'll reduce the risk to everybody, we just won't act in these situations. >> tom fuentes, nick casale all of us here around the country thinking of those two officers overnight, trying to stop that

robbery. thanks for being with us. well the mercury is plunging even your jackets, mittens and earmufs may not help when you see how cold it is going to get. let's ask meteorologist chad myers. chad what's the word? >> you know i know it's cold. i know it's january, i know it's winter but chicago is 30 degrees below normal today. so we're past just what january should be. it feels like 2 below in rochester, that's the wind chill factor. there's ice on the roads around philadelphia baltimore, d.c. watch out this morning, it burns off when the sun comes out. but there's still some slick spots, look at this international falls it feels like 20 degrees below zero. in minneapolis it feels like 16. you understand there are people that have to workout side. whether they're gate workers at an airport or the police that have to direct traffic so please give them a slight break today, at least give them a chance to warm up every once in a while. the frigid jet stream all the way down to the deep south into georgia, it's going to be with us for the next i would say

four days. it finally does warm up next week. but this is a big arctic outbreak for the entire eastern half of the u.s. including all the way down to new orleans. which will be well well below normal. even though the new york city high says 23 thursday it will feel like zero as the wind will howl through the buildings. >> yikes. chad thanks so much for that warning. >> he was telling us last hour to be like more comfortable with 19 that it would look good compared to what's coming? that's a hard thing to wrap your brain around. let's take a look at your hlts right now at nine minutes past the hour. family friends and political heavyweights will say a final good-bye to former new york governor mario cuomo it starts in four hours at a new york city church. at his wake hundreds and hundreds of mourners waited in a line that stretched around a block to pay their respects. jason carroll is live outside the church in manhattan where the funeral is set to be held in a short time.

jason? >> in a very sad day for the cuomo family. and for the people of new york. the funeral set to get under way here at st. ignatius loyola church. at 11:00 a.m. it will be private, closed open only to family and close friends, as you mentioned the wake that took place yesterday opened to the public hundreds lined up. an incredible sight to see as people waited in the bitter cold for hours to come out and pay their respects to mario cuomo. and his family. some of the political heavyweights showing up i mean a long list of vice president joe biden, new jersey governor chris christie. former new york city mayor, michael bloomberg. nancy pelosi former new york governor george pataki. the list goes on and on. inside they were met by cuomo's family. also a number of pictures were on display during the wake from cuomo's life. pictures of him getting married, pictures of him as a little boy. growing up in queens and when you spoke to some of the people

who came out here many of them obviously talking about what they remembered most about mario cuomo. one of of the things that stood out in my mind was the speech that he gave at the democratic national convention. he was the keynote speaker back in 1984 when he talked about a tale of two cities. some of the themes that he talked about still relevant today. his funeral once again will be held at 11:00 a.m. the clintons are aexpected to attend. his son andrew cuomo, governor cuomo. expected to deliver the eulogy. michaela? >> given what's going on in our nation it might be a good thing for many people to take a listen to that speech once again and think about those themes in today's context. jason carroll, thank you so much for that. severe kept divers out of the water tuesday in the search for airasia flight 8501. time is of the essence to find the plane's critical so-called black boxes and of course the fuselage where most of the victims are believed to be still strapped in their seats.

one of the members of the ferguson grand jury is suing the st. louis county prosecutor for the right to speak out about those proceedings. so will the grand juror be allowed to speak? might it open up a pandora's box? let's bring in sonny hoston a cnn analyst and jeffrey toobin a former federal prosecutor. what an interesting turn of events. so this grand juror wants to be able to speak about what went on inside these sort of secret proceedings and why shouldn't he or she be allowed to do that? sonny? >> i think that'swith i'm at generally the grand jury proceedings are skrentecret. you never hear from them quite frankly, the law provides they should not speak out. but this case has been quite frankly very unusual. you've got a prosecutor who puts forth every single piece of evidence even evidence that wouldn't be admissible at trial.

witnesses that clearly nowjer perjured themselves and that wouldn't be able to testify at trial and a release of grand jury transcripts. in that case why not have a grand juror have the ability to speak out in the name of what the prosecutors have called transparency? >> great argument. >> there's another point here which is that mccullough, the prosecutor characterized the views of the grand jury. he said everybody agreed there was no basis for charges. that is exactly what this grand juror wants to refute. so the idea is that mccullough opened the door legally. and other people should who were in that room should be able to comment as well. >> here's a portion of that lawsuit that i will read to you that explains why, exactly what you just said why the juror wants to do this the current information available about the grand jury's views is not entirely accurate. especially the implication that all grand jurors believed there was no support for any charges. so that sounds like a pretty

rational rationale, sonny, of why we should hear what their calculations really were. >> and i think jeff's right. isn't the argument mccullough decided to characterize the grand jurors and can't the grand jurors speak for themselves? when you look at this case because it is so very unusual, i wonder if this doesn't also open up the door to another prosecutor taking a look at this case. people have been so very unhappy with the, with the way the process was done. especially with all of the information that we that we now know about let's say witness number 40 who clearly perjured herself. the fbi really cross-examined her, found her not to be credible. mccullough says he knows she wasn't credible. wasn't even there. and so many of the grand jurors heard that information. isn't it now time then to take a real look at this case again, perhaps reconvene another grand jury and have a special

prosecutor? >> jeffrey, what about the larger issue of the first amendment right to tell your own story? why can't jurors just come out and say, here's what i experienced? >> you don't have a first amendment right to tell your own story under all circumstances. if you work for the government and you get classified information, you don't have a first amendment right to tell your own story about how to make a nuclear bomb. but in this case where this kind of information has already been disclosed, by the prosecutor under legally-sanctioned circumstances, then in that case it might be a very different story. however, just do give the other side. grand juries are by law, secret. there are certain exceptions and that's why there was some release of information here. and i could see a judge saying you know i don't want to create a circumstance where everybody feels like they have the right to talk about what went on during their grand jury service. >> so you see the pandora's box argument. >> they are certainly going to

take seriously. a judge will take seriously. >> i cannot imagine given the circumstances of this particular case the public interest in this particular case. and the fact that the grand jury transcripts very unusually in my opinion, were released to the public and sort of redacted in many respects so the notion that this was a very transparent process, that i think many people believe to be true i don't know is necessarily true. and so my sense is that a judge may look at it and say, if you want to really be transparent, mr. mccullough, let the grand jurors themselves speak. >> sort of to make an obvious point, i've never heard of a lawsuit like this before. so we really are in uncharted waters. a judge has got to take a serious look at this. but lawyers love precedent, and there isn't one here. >> it will be fascinating to see what the judge decides to do. jeffrey toobin and sonny hosten thanks so much for coming in. it was the video that rocked

a day after bearing one of their own, two more new york city police officers were shot in the line of duty. a manhunt is under way right now for two suspects. one of them pictured here. both officers required surgery overnight. one was shot in the back and arm and is in critical condition.

those officers were responding to a robbery call in the bronx. overseas kurdish forces are gaining the upper hand on isis in the ongoing battle for kobani. a monitoring group says the kurds control 80% of the key syrian city near turkey after capturing the control of the government square. 14 isis militants were reportedly killed in monday's battle. repeated u.s. air strikes on isis positions in the region have helped the kurds advance. oil prices keep tumbling down 5% monday. now hovering around $49 a barrel. that's under $50 a barrel for the first time since the recession of april, 2009. prices are down 50% since june. if this trend continues, well it will be good news for the american drivers, keeping the gas prices down. there are concerns cheaper oil is slowing global demand. a passing to let you know of bess meyerson the first and only jewish miss america has died. she was crowned in 1945 parlaid

that into the public eye to one of position and influence, she became a powerful figure in new york city politics the city's first commissioner of consumer affairs and cultural commissioner all of this before the bess mess where she was acquitted in conflict of interest scandal. bess meyerson was 90 years old. >> a city luminary for decades. let's get "inside politics" with john king. >> john berman alisyn michaela the new congress gets down to business today, everybody is excited as can be -- no? we'll break it down for you. with me is nia malika henderson. the republicans have a majority and will take charge in the senate. this congress will get more done? less done? make no difference?

how will republicans run the united states senate? will it be better than democrats? 28%. worse than democrats, 24%, no difference, again, about half. 46% of the american people. i guess there's every reason to applaud the american people for being skeptical, right? >> right which means they're not really listening to mitch mcconnell and john bain another are promising this is a new era, they're going to turn the page and one of the things they want do do is reverse this image of republicans as not being able to govern. but maybe it's good that there's such low expectations and congress will exceed expectations. they're so far based on what we've seen so far. >> a lot of hope, a lot of optimism up there. but privately a lot of people would admit because it's so difficult to get people to compromise on the details of tax reform and trade and -- infrastructure and budgets, that it is going to be very difficult. and i think you know it will be on mitch mcconnell to surpass expectations and set the party up for 2016.

>> will republicans do a lot of business with democrats. we'll get to that in a minute. number two, how will it play out now that they run both chambers of congress. the internal divides within the republican party, the tea party versus the establishment. john boehner will be re-elected speaker speaker. no doubt about that. the question is how many tea party conservatives and grassroots conservatives will vote against him as a matter of principle. they think he's too compromised, too establishment. he's willing to talk to a democratic president. here's steve king from iowa one of the leading tea party spokesmen, explaining why he says boehner should not be returned to speaker. >> every republican pledge to repeal obama care i brought the amendment to implement or enforce obama care i was blocked procedurally by an act i think it was the speaker's. it took two and a half years for that to work its way through the system. we've got a government shutdown. we've got to control and manage this constitution. the president is violating it at

will. the actions of the speaker have prevented us from keeping our oat to defend the constitution and restore the authority of congress. >> is it embarrassing that somewhere in the ballpark of 15 to 20 members of the republican party will vote against speaker boehner? or could you say it shows how strong boehner's hold is? >> the latter idea of we thought the tea party was such a major force, that they could only at this point muster 15 16 17 votes against the speaker, mostly they're symbolic so these guys can elevate their own profiles as well. so far it looks like last year he was a bit worried apparently about that. he wasn't on the floor when the votes were going on. i think he was smoke heavily as the votes were being taken. but this time it looks like it's a clean deal. >> does it mean he has a shorter leash going forward, when it

comes to the issues that most fire up the conservative base immigration or obamacare? >> his allies and aides say no if you look at the increased size of the republican majority. most of the members elected are essentially boehner loyalists they have pledged their allegiance to him. they don't think they will have as hard a time as they have had in the past trying to get those more tricky fiscal and sort of health care related things passed. >> you mentioned mitch mcconnell a bit earlier. i want to show you the united states capital. it's a snowy day in washington we can show you the beautiful capital building with some snow. it's pretty isn't it? >> a beautiful day in washington the snow is not going to accumulate. mitch mcconnell said this in the "washington post" on sunday, a pre-christmas quote. he believes republicans have to prove they can govern. no the just in the senate not just in the house, but more globally for the american people. i don't want american people to think if they add a republican president to the republican congress that's going to be a

scary outcome. i want the american people to be comfortable with the fact that the republican house and senate is a 1307bsible right of center governing majority. mcconnell saying i want to keep my job as majority leader. >> remember about four years ago he was saying obama is going to be a one-term president, his next goal is there will be a republican president in two years, he will live breathe and think about it every single day. keeping a majority is one thing, getting a republican elected press is another. democrats say we're willing to work with him on some things we believe in good faith that he wants to work with us and if that helps the whole institution improve? so with it. but there will be an early test keystone xl pipeline. democrats are proposing a bunch of amendments to put restrictions on where it can be what kind of materials can be used on it mcconnell is pledging to allow an open amendment process. to do exactly what they say democrats weren't allowing them to do. if that happens, that's a good

sign. whether that gets the bill passed is another thing. that will repeat itself over and over again. the moment it doesn't happen the moment he blocks an amendment, democrats are going to light a fire under him. and this mission will be put in question. >> and there will be debates around these executive orders from the president, with funding and the dhs. so all sorts of fights that could derail this plan to make the republicans a reasonable party and make americans think that it wouldn't be so bad to have full control for republicans. >> one of the guys who we think is going to run for the republican presidential nomination is in a bit of a kerfuffle at the moment. chris christie is the governor of new jersey. if you've watched any television in the last couple of days you've seen this video, this is him at the game this weekend when the cowboys won to advance in the playoffs you see governor christie there, jerry jones, the owner of the cowboys, a couple of others up in the box getting friendly. there's been some questions about this you know in part some people at first people were saying did he use state

resources to pay for the trip and the christie staff says no jerry jones paid for this the issue now is that jerry jones has some business with the new york/new jersey port authority and people are saying the governor shouldn't be taking anything from him. even if some ethics czars say even if it's within the rules to take it because of the whole port authority role and bridgegate christie should be extra careful and step back. christie staff says too bad, he's a friend i'm a fan of the cowboys and watch green bay this weekend to see if he shows up at lambeau field. >> is part of this that people hate the cowboys? maybe it wouldn't be such scrutiny if it were a different team i'm not a huge football fan, but i do know that people hate the cowboys and that they should. >> i will adomt you into the patriots nation. giants fan there? >> he's got two teams that play in his back yard. >> is this just funny? is this just part of christie's authenticity is to tell his own

people in new york and new jersey probably root for the jets or the giants or the eagles saying too bad, i've been a cowboys fan since i'm a kid. hate me if you like. >> how many people were watching that game? like 18 million? so 18 million tv viewers got to see chris christie a few times? that's earned media. >> we'll see if he goes to lambeau there weekend. >> if scott walker the republican governor maybe the republican governor will be sitting down out in the cold. maybe it will be snowing at lambeau, scott williamer can hold up a beer from the stands and say come out of the box, christie and have a beer. >> that would be a good message. this scorery that has gripped the nation 7-year-old sailor gutzler is back home after a surviving a plane crash that killed much of her family. all of her immediate family. new details on the tragic accident. and we will talk with someone else who also walked away from a plane crash. and what happens next.

the 7-year-old miracle girl who survived a plane crash that killed four other family members is back in illinois this morning. relatives will now raise sailor gutzler who somehow escaped a burning plane in the woods of kentucky before then wandering a mile in the cold to find help. the death of her mother father sister and cousin sending shock waves through her tiny hometown. we will speak in a moment with another man who managed to walk away from a fiery plane crash. but first we wan to bring in cnn's george howell live from nashville, illinois sailor's grieving hometown. good morning, george. >> good morning. this is certainly a mix of emotions here. in her hometown. on one hand people are grateful that sailor survived this horrific crash. but at the same time this is a community in mourning. at the loss of the gutzler family.

knowing that sailor must now grow up without them. >> it's heartbreaking, it really is. >> exactly how 7-year-old sailor gutzler managed to walk away from this deadly plane crash while four others in her family died in the wreckage many are saying feels like nothing short of a miracle. >> sailor crawled out of the mangled aircraft and then walked nearly a mile through the dark kentucky woods wearing just a t-shirt and shorts. with temperatures hovering in the 30s. >> when i heard it i was surprised in the sense that anybody could do that. under the circumstances. but then i thought about it and i said sailor that probably makes sense. she's a scrappy kid. >> here in her small hometown of nashville. a community struggles to cope with such a horrific loss coming so soon after the holidays. >> a community can never, ever prepare for something like this. >> at the church that sailor's father attended pastor matthew

wheatfelt said the family meant a lot to this community and to this church. >> this is a blow to us. >> aboard the twin-engine plane were sailor's mother and father marty and kimberly gutzler, her 9-year-old sister piper, and 14-year-old cousin sierra wilder. sierra's grieving mother spoke with cnn's anderson cooper. >> sierra was so kind to everybody. thank god that i got to hug her and kiss her before she left. >> a family spokesman says sailor is now being raised by relatives. but that no more details will be released. the spokesman saying quote, our total focus is protecting her. >> at this point this community is planning for services funeral services for sierra wilder are set for wednesday. and for sailor's mother father and sister. services are set for friday. >> and our thoughts and prayers are with sailor and with the family that lost three of their loved ones thanks for that george. i want to welcome ac morgan he

survived a plane crash, he was in plane that went down due to engine trouble in 1998. kind of amazing that you're sitting across from me today. watching the situation that happen odd to sailor and the tragic loss of her family do you find it brings back memories for you, considering the fact you, too, were in a small plane, six passenger a that went down it went down in rhode island correct? >> correct. >> does it bring back the memories? >> without a doubt, the fact that it's a six-seater plane. there's a lot of emotions and thoughts that come back. >> do you mind me taking you back a little bit? because there's another similarity too. you survived that plane crash and walked away much like sailor did. >> correct. >> and you were severely injured. >> correct. >> more so then. >> right. >> tell me about your injuries physically i broke c-6-c-7 in my neck and burned 30% of my body. there's a lot of questions, saying how did sailor get

through the woods. >> how did she? >> it's adrenaline it's motivation it's survival. and to walk with a broken neck is physically impossible. >> you remember that? >> absolutely. coming out of the plane, there was one other survivor in my plane crash, i put my right arm over his shoulder and we walked a half a mile away from the accident. >> then you were airlifted to a medical facility where you underwent i'm assuming months of treatment. >> correct i was in icu for approximately a month and a half and moved to a rehab center. >> i want to talk about your experience of the plane accident. you say i've read accounts of it it sounded like you were with an experienced pilot. >> correct. >> was very calm when the engine trouble happened. and that there was sort of this period of silence when the plane was falling. >> correct. when a small aircraft the engines make a significant amount of noise. and for my accident and my event, there was just a loud bang and then all of a sudden it

went from extremely noisy, to eerily silent. >> were you afraid in those moments? >> without a doubt. >> did you voice it? >> no. you, time goes by quite fast and i knew strong relationship with the pilot as sailor did with her father both pilots were very experienced, from what i'm being told and you have confidence in their history, their knowledge. and as i said last night, that it is that is a gift. because that six minutes went by fast. i think if you didn't have that level of confidence that could be a very long and painful six minutes. >> after the crash happened you obviously would have checked to see if there were other survivors, one other passenger was able to survive. >> correct. >> now all of these years later, are you two in contact? i'm curious, we're looking at sailor she's seven years old. we think about what her life has for her. i want to talk to you about that. those subsequent years. what kept you fighting through the hard times? grieving the loss of your

friends. even grieving your own loss of mobility for a time. you were quite injured. >> quite. the healing process is different for every individual. whether it's denial anger, then you finally come out with acceptance. and every process takes each individual different time and different emotions that go through it. >> you didn't know if you were going to walk again. >> true. >> you do biathlons now. >> yes, but as i look at it for sailors to lose parents, that's much more significant. >> if you could talk to sailor right now, what would be your message to her? >> as a father of two daughters, as still a plane crash victim it's the healing process is difficult. and you just can't give up. every day you have to push and every morning you have the choice to either stay in bed or get out of bed. and the choice always is to get out of bed. if you ever question if you can't do it you think about what you've already gone through, sailor and the fact where you were able to get out of that plane, you were able to

walk three-quarters of a mile in the dark and find help. and that's a great sign that you'll be able to get through this process. >> a.c. morgan i'm sure there's a lot of people that needed that word of inspiration, you're a tremendous human being, thank you for sharing your story and the words of hope for sailor. she has a long road ahead of her. remembering the life of mario cuomo, the former new york governor being laid to rest. we'll catch up with a couple of political legends, look back at cuomo's life and legacy. so ally bank really has no hidden fees on savings accounts? that's right. it's just that i'm worried about you know "hidden things..." ok, why's that? no hidden fees from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

welcome back. we've been remembering the remarkable life of former three-term governor of new york mario cuomo, also the father of our friend "new day" anchor chris cuomo. governor cuomo will be laid to rest after a funeral service later this morning. joining to us talk more about his incredible life two former officials whose terms overlapped with governor cuomo, former new jersey governor tom caine and former new jersey senator bill bradley. thank you so much for being with us. senator, you're here with me in studio. let me start with you. it was an incredible life that affected so many people but those who knew him personally speak about him in such glowing terms. what will you miss most? >> i think i'll miss his voice and his standards. when i think of him i think of integrity, authenticity and love and i think his public service revealed all of those.

>> and governor caine, we spoke the other day and you told me governor that you don't think there's been a politician that you admired more than governor cuomo and i think it's worth noting governor that you are a republican governor cuomo was a democrat so those are big words to hear from anyone let alone someone from an opposite party. >> well, as bill said his integrity was rock-ribbed. his word was absolutely good and his friendship he was a wonderful friend to have. we used to have dinner when i was governor and he was governor very quietly, once every six weeks. you start on politics lincoln, he was a philosophy scholar, he could talk about anything with intelligence and brought all that mind-set with deliberation. he was unique. i don't remember another public servant like him and as a

friend he did a lot for me and i'll miss him a lot. >> senator, there's a quote that came to my attention overnight in "the new yorker" in 1984 when mario cuomo was considered as a vice presidential nominee for walter mondale. i hadn't remembered that was a possibility but it said "the secret to contentment is reducing your needs and aspirations. i feel fulfilled in the job that i have. i don't have that great vacuum in my psyche that feels i have to keep going up." maybe we'll get to the issue of why he did or did not run for president, i want to talk about contentment, he seemed to love what he was doing. >> he was a quintessential new yorker. everywhere he went he took new york with him and he was also a consultant's nightmare. you knew that whatever he was saying he deeply believed and he probably wrote himself, and that he would infuse all of that with as i said a little love

and you know he truly believed that we either all advanced together or each of us is going to be diminished and you could just feel that in everything he did, the moral tone that he sat, his administration's moral tone i think was exemplary. >> and one of the places that the world felt it certainly the entire country was in the 1984 democratic keynote aaddress. let's play just a little bit of sound from that. >> there is despair, mr. president, in the faces that you don't see, in the places that you don't visit, in your shining city. in fact mr. president, this is a nation -- [ applause ] mr. president, you ought to know that this nation is more a tale of two cities than it is just a

shining city on a hill. >> i just want to say that both senator bradley and governor keen had smiles on their faces when they were watching that small clip. of course, both of you have delivered keynote addresses at national conventions and governor keen you told me a remarkable story. you said before you went to speak in the 1988 republican convention who did you call for advice on how to give a convention keynote? >> i called my friend mario. he was the best and he was kindness itself. he gave me some tips and then he said call andrew. he knew the convention managers and they'll try to change your speech and you got to resist them and andrew knows how to do that. so mario was helpful. i called andrew he was helpful, and i went into my speech with a little more confidence because i had two cuomos helping me out. >> i was on the floor of the convention when that speech was

given, and i was on the side doing an interview with somebody but as soon as he began to speak, i said let's cancel the interview. let me listen to this speech and it was an incredible speech one of the best political speeches for the last 50 years. >> all these years and decades later, both of you seasoned politicians were transfixed by even the video of it. senator bradley, i saw pictures of governor cuomo playing basketball today. loved to play basketball. chris talks about how much he loved to play basketball. he played a little basketball. what do you think of his game? >> i never played with the governor but my guess is he was a better politician than he was a basketball player. >> had you kidded him about that? >> a little bit. >> did he have a good sense of humor about that? >> he was a little touchy but he could handle it. >> governor kean last thoughts about your friend. the idea with you sitting down with governor cuomo every few weeks, i would have loved to

have been at some of those meals. >> they were absolutely wonderful. we'd find a decent place sometimes in new jersey and we'd start in on government and we'd talk first about our two states. as you see the ferries going back and forth across the hudson that's governor cuomo, new york state didn't want him and governor cuomo said you think they're best for the two states? he said yes. i said i do, too. let's start a port authority do it. there were policy dinners and good wonderful dinners which i'll never forget, he'd philosophize and talk always fun. i'll miss him as a political leader but most as a decent and wonderful friend. >> governor kean senator bradley, he was lucky to have both of you as friends, i'm sure he'd say that. thanks for being with us. i appreciate it. >> alisyn? breaking news two more new york city police officers shot on the job, one of them in

investigating any possible connection to this previous incident. >> reporter: this comes as the police department is still reeling from the loss of two of their own in a city still grappling with tensions between police and the community. >> these officers did something that was extraordinarily brave this evening, and they did it as part of their commitment as is absolutely the case of officers going above and beyond the call to protect their fellow new yorkers. >>all of this against the backdrop whether or not new york city police are on a work slowdown. the number of summonses, the arrests way down for the last couple of weeks now. police say that they are looking into it. clearly the officers who responded to this call possibly offshift possibly without their protective vests ss on weren't slowing down at all. it is opening day for the new congress and both chambers are fielding right-handed line-up, it's a baseball joke and a good one.

the republicans will be in charge of the house and senate in the first time in nearly a decade and john boehner is facing a rebellion from tea party conservatives to maintain that post. dana bash is this symbolic or should the speaker be worried? >> reporter: at this point it looks like it will end up being symbolic but with the house republican caucus you should expect the unexpected and let's put it into perspective here. when the new congress is sworn in in a few hours, there will be 246 house republicans. so far, only about a dozen have publicly said they'd vote against john boehner and i'm not sure if people realize that most of the leadership here on capitol hill they're elected by their fellow members. the house speaker job is different. it's constitutional. so that is a requirement of 218 votes, the majority of the house. so what has happened right now is john boehner and his allies are cautiously optimistic. they are quietly making calls

but i talked to one, tom cole who said that he feels like this is just an annoyance more than anything else. >> this is the last-moment side show and it distrablts what our message ought to be. we ought to be talking about the republican agenda and the possibilities now that we own the senate about keystone fixes on obamacare, trade, regulatory reform. instead opening day of a new republican congress we've got republicans at odds and that's just unfortunate. it steps on the story and doesn't accomplish anything productive. >> the argument that cole and other boehner aides i've been talking to make you can't replace someone with no one and right now, there doesn't seem to be anybody who could come close to getting 218 votes to be the speaker of the house. no one like jane boehner has raised this much money, campaigned for as many people

and been a leader the way he has. the goal of those trying to depose john boehner is to get it to a second vote because if he doesn't get to 18 at the beginning, then it automatically goes to a second vote and what you'd likely see on the house floor is recess republicans would huddle behind closed doors and figure out what's next. again, boehner is feeling pretty confident that that won't happen but as i started out this report by saying i have learned to expect the unexpected from house republicans over the years of covering them. >> the numbers will be very interesting. thanks so much dana. alisyn? >> all right, john. so as you know elections for house speaker generally are not terribly controversial, but two years ago, 12 republicans voted against john boehner, making for some tense moments. joining us now is one of the republicans who is vying for boehner's leadership role this time around it's representative ted gilho from florida. good morning, congressman. >> good morning, how are you doing? >> i'm doing well. so what don't you like about john bainer?

>> well what we need is new direction, a person that will bring up member initiatives and stick with the process that we have in the rules of the house. we haven't been doing that and we need somebody that's willing to do that and stand up and bring forth a vision for our conference for the next say two years for the 114th congress. >> give us an example of a time that speaker boehner hasn't done those things. >> a perfect example is on the cromnibus bill. there's 72 hours to review a bill before members vote on it. we didn't have 727 hours. i put in an amendment last night that would require every piece of legislation to have 72 hours to be looked at. leadership spoke against it. it didn't pass. this is giving the american people's representatives time to do their due diligence on legislation, so we don't have to pass a bill to see what's in it we don't have to pass it to see how it's going to work. those things don't work. we're asking to have enough time to review a bill and leadership

voted that down. >> if that's your only beef with speaker boehner -- >> that's not the only one. >> name another beef and why isn't he doing those things? >> if we go back to november 5th, 2010 mr. boehner said he'd do everything he could to make sure the affordable care act was never, ever ever implemented. here we are in 2014 and it's implemented. we have replacements that are out there that coup put health care back into the hands of the individual and a doctor. they've never even been brought up. in september of this year we're going to have to refund the government. we haven't even begun to talk about that. what happens is we wait until the last minute so many times in my experience in the last two years 'til the last minute. it's crisis management. bills get thrown out there we don't have time to review and the american taxpayers suffer our countries sofr becauseuffer because of the lack of vision

short-sightedness. the american people spoke loud and clear in november, they want new direction and if you look at the polls, 25% to 30% of the republicans are looking to leave the party. it's time for new leadership. >> so you've thrown your hat into the ring for -- >> my name, yes. >> your name sorry, yep your name into the ring for leadership. so what would be your first order of business? >> first order of business is sit down with the members and say hey, what direction do you want to go? and then get consensus and bring up bills from member initiatives that there are so many members that have initiatives that never get to see the light of day and work in a direction and start dealing with tax reform. that's something we should talk about now, social security medicare medicaid reforming those programs so they're more secure in the future. our foreign policy should be redirected and we need to address the health care issue in this country. i just got a call from a guy yesterday, 80% of the people in this one area are getting health

care subsidies and the people that are paying for that can't really afford the increase in health insurance. we have to deal with these things because if we don't do el with them today, six months or a year down the road it's going to be another crisis that we have to manage. leadership is looking down the road and saying let's fix these things before they're a problem. >> how many votes do you have lined up supporting you? >> the whole goal was go to a second round, so that we can have a discussion and out of that somebody will emerge as a new speaker and we're over a dozen right now and you're going to see more people get on and decide not to vote for the current leadership. >> really? because we just heard dana bash reporting and by her count there are 12 people members, who don't support congressman boehner, but you think there will be more today? >> i think you'll see a lot more. this has been something that's you know we've seen an escalation over the last two

years of a disdain for leadership that we want stronger leadership in a direction that we're going to go to lead our conference, and we announced on saturday that we're going to throw my name in the hat, and you've seen a groundswell, a grassroots movement of people saying you know what? i appreciate you offering us an alternative, because i'm tired of the status quo. this is a vote against the status quo. i was elected by the constituents of our district to stand up to leadership to have a new speaker of the house, and this happens all around the country, and so it's either a vote for the status quo or for a new direction for the republican party. >> congressman, there's another school of thought. things are looking good for republicans right now. you all have picked up the most seats in decades, and that what you're doing is just creating divisiveness among your own party. >> there's always going to be the critic out there that says things like that and the american people spoke loud and clear. it is the largest majority since

1929. they have spoken and said we want a different direction. they have handed us the baton of leadership and i think a part of that is if we replace the leadership in the house, and that comes from my constituents. i hear every day, every meeting i do we want a new speaker of the house and that goes on all around the country. if we can invoke that change the american people will rally behind the republican party and more around america and help rebuild america in the direction that we want to go. >> congressman ted yoho it will be interesting to see what happens today with the votes. thanks for coming on "new day." >> yes, ma'am, thank you. >> let's go over to michaela for more headlines. >> 13 minutes past the hour family friends, and political heavyweights gathering to say a final good-bye to former new york governor mario cuomo. at his wake monday hundreds and hundreds of mourners waited in frigid temperatures in a line that stretched around the block to pay their respects. we of course send our best wishes to all of the cuomo family including our dear friend and colleague, chris.

flu cases are on the rise and a new report from the centers for disease control warns the worst of the season is just getting under way. asoureding to the cdc the disease is spreading rapidly. 43 states have widespread flu activity up from 36 states last week. 21 schirn have died since october after bouts with the flu, so with students heading back to school and concerns about the effectiveness of the flu vaccine, how concerned should you be about the virus? dr. anthony fauci, director of the national institute of allergy and infectious diseases at the national institutes of health, thank you so much for being with us. appreciate it. >> good to be with you. >> i have heard you say that the current vaccine for the season is only 33% effective. how do you think that is contributing right now to the spread of the virus? >> well certainly you'd like to have a better match and those things happen. most of the time when you do that kind of prediction you get

it right. unfortunately, about a month or two after the decision was made of what components to put into the vaccine, it actually did what we call drift. it changed a bit to the point where it continued to do that and now when we're in the middle of it as i said correctly, there's now about a 67% mismatch or a 33% match. that will contribute to the spread and to the severity. however, it's important to point out to people that you still should get vaccinated because even without a perfect match, getting vaccinated can be very helpful, both in protecting you against infection and maybe even as importantly to protect you against serious disease and decreased hospitalization particularly for people who are at high risk. >> so even at 33% effective you think it's worth it? >> no doubt. there's no doubt about it. people should -- those who have not been vaccinated it's certainly not too late to get

vaccinated. but also people who get the flu particularly people in those what we call high-risk groups namely very young children the elderly, pregnant women, people with underlying diseases like diabetes and heart disease and chronic lung disease and asthma things like that, should see their physician and get an anti-viral drug because the anti-influenza drugs can be very helpful in preventing or at least mitigating the severe consequences of influenza, so that's another thing that people can do. >> above and beyond the vaccine, if you were in the high-risk group, the elderly or people with breathing problems or young people go to the doctor now to get something completely different than the vaccine? >> no no. no just try to avoid people who are sick that's for sure, stay away from crowded places and a lot of people who are sick. get vaccinated but if you do get the flu, without a doubt, if you are in that risk group, to see a physician for the possibility of getting prescribed an anti-viral drug which can be helpful >> got you.

let's talk about this strain of the flu, h3n2 accounted for about 95% of the flu case this is year. it's a bad one, isn't it this strain? >> yes, it's not something entirely new. we've known about h 3n2 for decades and decades. many times over the years it's been the predominant one that's around the predominant strain. it wasn't last year. last year it was h1n1. you might recall in 2009 we had the h1n1 pandemic and that dominated for a couple of years. then last year we had it back again, and then this is the first year since 2013 and '14 where h2n3 has come back. it causes more complications. >> at what point during the flu season do you know it will be really bad? >> a couple of things that indicate it. you have to say right off that flu is unpredictable but certain

things happen that actually can give you a hint that you're going to have a problem. one is if it starts off early, and this is pretty i would say pretty much active early. we saw it about a month ago, when it started to come about. generally it usually peaks around january/february ends around march, so when you start to peak early and start to see a number of cases early, that kind of tells you that you haven't peaked yet and you might really see something even worse. so that's the reason why we're concerned as we get deep into january, and into early february that we might even see a greater uptick of cases. also as you mentioned correctly, if you have a mismatch with the vaccine, that's also a heads up that there might be more of a problem this year than we've seen in previous years. >> dr. anthony fauci, always great to have you on "new day." thanks so much for being with us. we'll all wash our hands today and think of you.

family's plane, moving past the bodies of her mother father sister and cousin walking nearly a mile to larry wilkins' home in western kentucky. >> she was bloody. here nose was bloody. her little legs was what really got your attention because they were striped up all over. >> reporter: from his back steps, wilkins shows me the way she came. even now, he still can't believe she made it shoeless wearing only shorts and short sleeves with temperatures in the 30s. >> when you consider what she just walked through, and she had just seen her parents and her sister and her cousin all three were dead you know it's amazing. >> reporter: i decided to backtrack the way she came. pretty quickly i find the going is tough. downed tree limbs everywhere brush is incredibly dense and overgrown, branches snag and grab as you move while

needle-like thorns tear at your clothes. demean broad daylight the potential pitfalls are everywhere steep and slippery slopes ditches and pools of water. the brush swallows you quickly, leaving you disoriented and blocking the view of any landmarks. as i struggle i constantly remind myself i was ready for this. how could an injured, traumatized and frightened 7-year-old make her way in the near pitch dark and chilling mist? in the end i gave up and gps guides me back to where i started. larry wilkins says one wrong turn could have left the little girl lost for weeks. >> all woods, and there's quite a few coyotes around here too. >> reporter: he believes the light in his yard could have attracted the little survivor or something else telling me heaven had a hand as well. martin savidge, cnn kentucky. >> such an amazing story. >> it's incredible.

new developments in the sex scandal of prince andrew. alan dershowitz counter sued virginia robinson. dershowitz is demanding his name be removed from her lawsuit and is asking for damages. roberts says a wealthy investor forced her into sex slavery when she was a teenager to please his powerful friends, including dershowitz and prince andrew. the accuser says she is being revictimized all of this raising big questions of how you fight back against ugly accusations. paul callan is a cnn legal analyst, criminal defense attorney to talk about this former prosecutor wendy murphy is an adjunct professor of sexual violence at new england law in boston. great to see both of you. okay let's start with the news this morning.

paul alan dershowitz hours ago has filed this countersuit in florida because he feels he's being defamed by this lawsuit by this woman, virginia roberts. cnn is naming her because she has gone public with her name. is that the best way for celebrityies and high-profile people to handle allegations like this? >> alan dershowitz has done something you never see done in these cases. he's gone nuclear. i mean, he's going apoplectic. he's threatening to sue roberts and starting his own lawsuit. usually you try to make the whole thing go away so it's forgotten. there's a complexity to this lawsuit because the allegations against dershowitz that he slept with this 15-year-old, and incidentally prince andrew as well were included in court documents related to another lawsuit, and normally anything you say in a court document relating to a pending lawsuit is there's immunity. you can't sue somebody for saying that.

so dershowitz was baiting roberts. why don't you say it publicly and i'm going to sue you, because it's a lie but apparently he must have stumbled on some theory that would give him grounds to sue around this court immunity doctrine. so it will be interesting to see it today. >> wendy, do we have an example of alan dershowitz being so angry and vociferous denying the charges ned on "new day." watch this. >> i will take action. i'm filing today a sworn affidavit denying categorically the truth. i'm seeking to intervene in the case. i am challenging her to file rape charges against me. i waive any statute of limitations, any immunity, because if it she files a false rape charge against me she goes to jail. the end result of this case should be she should go to jail the lawyers should be disbarred and everybody should understand that i am completely and totally innocent. >> wendy, what do you think about his strategy? there's one school of thought

that says you never even dig my the allegations with a response. >> yes, i mean the problem is he is almost in a protest too much state of mind for me. you know i think the way the prince is handling it is in a sense, more credible, because it's more restrained in that exact way, alisyn. we don't digify these kinds of things. of course it's silly, of course it's not true. the problem with alan dershowitz's position is he doesn't really know all of the evidence that they have. what if this woman has intimate knowledge of things about his body parts, for example, that will be unassailable proof that in fact she did have access to his body the kind of thing that no matter how much he yells and screams, he won't be able to rebut, that could be some pretty exposive proof against him. >> it could be but -- >> i'm glad he did it. >> you have to assume because he's make so long vocal and public a response that he

believes there's nothing like that out there. let me just stop you for a second wendy because i want to tell you the alleged victim in this case has now responded to cnn and alan dershowitz for calling her a liar. let me tell you what she says "it appears i am now being unjustly victimized again. these types of aggressive attacks on me are exactly the reason why sexual abuse victims typically remain silent and the reason why i did for a long time. that trend should change. i'm not going to be bullied back into silence." wendy, your thoughts on her response? >> yes, you know it is a reason in my work, you know in decades of this work it is something victims talk about a lot. i'm not going to speak out, especially against a wealthy, powerful and influential person because they will have the ability to sue me falsely. that's the fear that a lot of real victims have. look if alan dershowitz wants to use the legal system to demonstrate his innocence, he

has the right to do that. the problem is now that he's filed a public claim, the airing of all the details will come out, and what he's going to do if there is some kind of unassailable evidence against him? i mean he said for example he's only been at jeffrey epstein's house once and it was with his wife and children. what if it comes out that he was actually there, and there are photographs of him there on another occasion? >> wendy, i think you have to assume dershowitz can't be that stupid. he taught at harvard long enough that i assume basic facts like that he's going to be certain on and if dershowitz is in fact innocent of this charge then he's not worried about body parts or locations where sex took place if no sex did take place. >> dershowitz also called for virginia roberts' attorneys to be disparred. he believes they should never have taken this case. let me quickly read to you their statement in response to alan dershowitz. "out of respect for the courts to keep this case from being litigated in the press we are not going to respond to specific

claims of indignation by anyone. nevertheless we would be pleased to consider any sworn testimony and documentary evidence mr. dershowitz would like to provide which he contends would refute any of our allegations." paul callan, wendy murphy, we have to leave it there, we're running out of tile. obviously this case is not going away with alan dershowitz's new legal action. thank you for being here. we'd love to know what you think about all of this tweet us@newday on the best way to handle allegations like this. an american giant is gone but his legacy lives on. our friend and colleague, chris cuomo, remembers his father former new york governor mario cuomo, the touching tribute that you do not want to miss, it's coming up next.

my name is daniel. i have diabetic nerve pain. the pain felt like my feet were on fire. i had these very burning needle-like sensations. i knew i needed to see a doctor. my doctor said, "let's try lyrica." lyrica has helped relieve my pain.

motor trend's 2015 car of the year? we'll give you four good reasons the all-new volkswagen golf starting at $17,995. there's an award winning golf for everyone. these ally bank ira cds really do sound like a sure thing but i'm a bit skeptical of sure things. why's that? look what daddy's got... ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!! growth you can count on from the bank where no branches equals great rates.

so the funeral for former new york governor mario cuomo gets under way in just over two hours in new york city digaries including bill and hillary clinton, attorney general eric holder are expected to pay their respects. chris mentioned to us our "new day" family that his father's life has served as a lesson for him since he was a relittle boy but that even now his pop is as he called him, still teaching him a lesson about what endures. >> when it's over, i want people to say, now, there was an honest person.

>> pop's body is gone. i know because i counted out his pulse until his heart fell silent 5:15 p.m. his two favorite numbers, 5 and 15. so now his baggy, brown eyes solid grip of soft thick fingers, oakin' body they're all gone but what was most important about my father and to him was passed on. passed on as in still exists just in a different way. his spirit passed on to his creator, the spirit of his message endures in us. timeless and timely a call to remember that if all do not share in america's success, there is no real success. >> question make it all the way with the whole family intact and we have more than once wagon train after wagon train to new frontiers of education,

housinging ingpeace, the whole family aboard constantly reaching out to ex-end ten and enlarge that family all struggling to claim that small share of america. >> reporter: our interconnectedness, our diversity as america's true strength. the value found in immigrants like our family desperate to work to be part of the dream. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: two speeches in eight weeks would define his political life for many of you, keatnote in 1984 -- >> ronald reaganay rod into the '80s on a political white horse. >> reporter: he took on ronald reagan's shining city. >> there are people who sleep in the city's streets in the gutter where the glitter doesn't show. >> reporter: and his talk at notre dame where he took on his church's notion of a catholic politician. >> we know that the price of seeking to force our belief on others is that they might

someday force their belief on us. i protect my right to be a catholic by preserving your right to be anything else you choose. >> reporter: a man like the challenge, both relied on his core belief -- we are here to help as many as we can in the best way we can, and that means protecting freedom, especially freedom from oppression. you will hear him called hamlet on the hudson. question. it's a media phrase more than a matter of fact. pop did not think he should run for president. >> has nothing to do with my chances. it has everything to do with my job as governor and i don't see that i can do both. therefore, i will not pursue the presidency. >> reporter: many could not or would not accept that. and tried publicly and privately to push him to do otherwise. for better or worse, that's what separated my father from other politicians. he in fact did not vacillate, and until the day he died i

never heard him regret the decision period. but that is merely politics which can't be forgotten quickly enough. what really matters has certainly been passed on to me and my sings and our kids and that was pop's love, a big bear heart on your heart kind of hoff. it could be a weapon and a salve. >> chris, let me tell you, christopher, you have found so many unusual ways to heap new expenses on this family. you really have. and you did it not after a sweating effort, he's done it naturally. >> who to be how to be from the simple a handshake is firm a tie is tied in a windsor knot a man shines his own shoes and does so often. he carries a hanky, one for others one for himself. he wears a hat, not a cap unless it's a cheesecutter.

he always has cash and does not go dutch. pass first, shoot second. play hard and then play harder. from that to the sublime, all that matters in life is devotion to something bigger than yourself -- family the less fortunate, take up for them always. his passion for purpose, love recklessly fight the good fight fiercely outwork everyone. >> one of the simple things i wanted to achieve is i want to be governor i want to be the hardest working there ever was. >> reporter: compete hard or not at all. >> so far we haven't lost all year. >> reporter: and never as a function of the chance of success. >> this is our first game. >> reporter: and for all the requirements on an individual the most important was a command for the collective. collaborative in making this world a better place. >> what is our mission in this place? your job is to make it as good as you can make it. that's all there is.

there is no other significance. >> reporter: none of that could ever be buried. living on in the hearts and minds and actions of those who bear his name who heeded his call to action then and now, that all will pass on. the man himself is gone. the father i went to in times of distress is not there. the truth hurts, pop would say, and this truth hurts worse than i imagined. but i also know what pop would tell me to do. wipe my face let my kids see that i love them be there for my family, and do the right thing, and i will pop, just like you. >> just keep going forward and believe in ever more deeply that it's right to give to people and to the world. >> a powerful tribute to his

dad. >> like a big bear hug on owl of our hearts as chris would say. >> we got to know mario cuomo so much better through chris' eyes. real gift. >> take the stuffing out of chris there sitting there as a young boy. >> loves big. >> big, big. >> beautiful. we'll be right back. i've smoked a lot and quit a lot but ended up nowhere. now...i use this. the nicoderm cq patch with unique extended release technology helps prevent the urge to smoke all day. i want this time to be my last time. that's why i choose nicoderm cq. (son) oh no... can you fix it, dad? yeah, i can fix that. (dad) i wanted a car that could handle anything. i fixed it!

(dad) that's why i got a subaru legacy. (vo) symmetrical all-wheel drive plus 36 mpg. i gotta break more toys. (vo) introducing the all-new subaru legacy. it's not just a sedan. it's a subaru.

as ul know chris cuomo loves to tell the stories of people making an impact. former nfl player ricardo silva went from studying playbooks to textbooks. today he's a high school math teacher motivating his students to impact your world. here's "".chris cuomo. >> you have four minutes until competition. >>ry car zoe silva is using his competitive image to help his math students. >> my hope is to bring awareness

to the students. you can do whatever you want through education. >> reporter: his first job was on a football field playing for the detroit lions. >> my mission was to get to college and start in the nfl. move on it something more meaningful, providing opportunities to kids that do not necessarily know how to get from where they need to be. >> reporter: helping silva is teach for america. it offers free classroom training to college graduates and professionals from various backgrounds and in exchange they teach in an underserved school for two years. >> kids that have low socioeconomic status are not achieving as well as the more affluent counterparts, and we're trying to close the educational achievement gap. this is why i'm here. >> reporter: certainly not for the paycheck or the ease of the job. >> football all you have to do is wake up every day, work out and do what the coaches tell you to do. in school you have to motivate young teenagers who are more interested in their social media outlets than math. >> reporter: a seemingly

impossible task but silva is up for the challenge. >> the first thing we must do? all i had was one person believing in my my entire life which was my mom. i feel like i can bring that to the kids. all they need is one person telling them they can do it and they can be successful. >> he's that one person. >> motivating kids from an nfl lein back per. >> for more on how you can help go to cnn.com/impact. it is time now for "newsroom" with ana cabrera in for carol costello. take it away. >> good morning guys. i haven't even said happy new year to you yet so happy new year. >> you, too. >> "newsroom" starts now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com good morning, i'm ana cabrera in for carol costello. in the search for air jashia
