3:04 am
before that happens. we're just trying to keep it from going anywhere. >> you feel bad for the people but that comes with having a house on the water. ocean wind, you lose. >> another issue is power outages. in watertown, massachusetts, high winds made power lines fall like dominos. >> we had traffic lights all over time on the dprid. isolated the area, cut the circuit off. wires over cars and it was a dangerous situation. >> one woman in brocktown, massachusetts said her son was lucky to be alive. he was sitting in the back of the car when a tree came down. >> the house shook. we heard a noise. we didn't know what it was. we ran out. my son was still in the car with the tree on top of it. >> now look, last night we talked to people who evacuate freddie some of these homes at a hotel. they were telling us they love this area. they love being so close to the ocean.
3:05 am
they know that sometimes they pay for that. but they never expected this to be this powerful. the three high tides back-to-back. of course, we could get more water today so everyone is sort of looking toward the ocean to see if it will give them a break. mother nature unrelenting for some. as the light comes up, we can see a couple of structures damaged from the heavy winds. you're talking 70 miles an hour at some point. you understand what people are going through the last few hours. a lot of hour is out. it will be interesting to see what happens as we're able to survey the damage through the day. guys. >> definitely, ryan. we'll be back in touch with you. be careful out there. thank you. >> those pictures are something. hanging onto that baby for dear life. more than a million people don't have power as she was talking about. i want to go to allison chinchar, this is such a severe storm. we know there are 3,000 flights in the path that have already been canceled. am track forced to cancel service. it should resume. >> more images of the impact are

3:07 am
tidal cycle of this to go this morning. >> you talk about that, the word you use, bomb cyclone, so many people don't understand what that is. let's break it down for you. meteorologically speaking it's a strong storm. when the atmospheric pressure drops 24 millibar in 24 hours or less. in lamean's terms what it means for us is this is a storm that rapidly intensifies. these usually go on to be incredibly powerful storms. that was the case with this particular storm. look at the really strong wind gusts that came in. nantucket, massachusetts 90 miles per hour. even boston with a wind gust of 70 miles per hour. let's talk about where the storm is now. here is where it was located on friday. it's already started to make its way off the coast, now fully off the coast. however, i want to emphasize, even though the center of the storm may be off the coast right now, it's still producing pretty big impacts. flooding is a big kerp goiconce
3:08 am
forward. high tide noon, portland, oregon, a few minutes shy of noon. that's a big concern. winds, this is a longer concern. this is going to last well spot day sunday. we have high wind warnings and advisories still in effect. we're talking wind gusts right now in nantucket 51 miles per hour. martin and chriskristi, the win you talked about people without power. that number is likely going to get worse before it gets better since the wind is not expected to come down until tomorrow. >> all righty. allison chinchar, thank you so much. we appreciate it. we're going to stay on this and keep looking at pictures coming in this morning. again, by a little later this morning in several hours they are expecting that last wave to come in. >> right. it is not over. mean while the suspect at central michigan university which left two people dead, that suspect is now in custody.
3:09 am
police arrested james eric davis jr. this morning when he was spotted on a campus train. the victims james davis jr. and eva davis are the suspect's parents. they arrived at the school friday to pick up the son for spring break. police are calling this a domestic situation and they thank the community for helping in capturing him. vice president pence weighed in on the shooting while at an event in detroit. >> our hearts are heavy. another shooting on another campus. as a nation we mourn with those who mourn and grieve with those who grieve. i know i speak on behalf of everyone here when i say today and every day we're going to continue to pray, continue to pray for all the victims and their families from all of these terrible events. >> this marks the twelfth school shooting this year. >> unbelievable. only in march and already the

u.s. officials and close friends of the officials are describing him as administration faces chaos and criticism at home and overseas. >> some of that criticism is focused on chief of staff john kelly who tried to defend how he handled domestic abuse scandal. he ended up changing his story which caught people off-guard. boris, we've seen this chaos in the administration before. why does it seem different this time around? >> well, martin and christi, it is a lot to handle for this president. a week of disarray for the white house. that's why sources are telling cnn they are concerned the president may lose control. we saw him reportedly lash out at a number of staffers. hope hicks after her testimony
3:16 am
before congress. there were rumors about other officials leaving including h.r. mcmaster and gary cohn. you had legislative confusion where he seemed to vary his position on gun control a number of times and then the announcement he would be slapping tariffs on kports of ste -- imports of steel and aluminum. both those angered people in his own party. adding to that, you had this controversy john kelly brought about deciding to dig back into the rob porter scandal. he essentially tried to defend himself yesterday. some white house sources said they were puzzled and stunned by his words. he basically said he had confirmed with rob porter porter would resign the same day he learned about domestic abuse against staff secretary despite the white house the same day was defending rob porter. that contradicts reporting from sources that chief of staff kelly and white house counsel were made aware of these
3:17 am
allegations against rob porter back in november kelly put out a statement essentially saying we did not cover ourselves in glory how we handled that situation. it was confusing. despite that kelly saying he did not do anything that would lead him to believe he should resign. back to you guys. >> boris sanchez, we appreciate it so much. thank you. >> john kelly may be feeling pressure from inside the west wing. a new report from the "new york times" claims president trump asked kelly for help pushing his daughter ivanka and jared kushner out of the white house. joining me political commenta r commentator. >> >> good morning. >> we know the president's circle is smaller without hope hicks. why would the president want his family members out. >> there's a lot of questions asked and reporting coming out about jared kushner in particular, the president's
3:18 am
son-in-law involved in questionable meetings, hasn't gotten security clearance at top level after months and months of serving in a very top position. it all seems to be bringing a lot of negative attention to the white house. naturally the president has to be thinking do i need this on top of everything else, the different problems i have, to have this person very close to me bringing all these negative headlines. >> let me ask you erol. when asked about this chaos, extremely serious, friends or allies have no idea what to expect from this presidency or the white house. certainly our opponents are always looking for an opportunity to do something to us. let me ask you this. does the fact that no one seems to know what president trump will do, does it serve him in some capacity, because opponents don't know what's coming next?
3:19 am
>> trump himself occasionally alludes to that, dealing with adversaries it's best to keep them guessing or off-guard. the reality is whatever you would get from that is outweighed by people, including u.s. government, not to mention allies, who need direction, leadership, who need to know that the policies that the united states employs are going to affect lots and lots of people, millions of people is something to rely on. you can't do trade policy, make decisions if they don't know what's going to happen out of washington. >> let me ask you, john kelly comes out, brings the rob porter scandal, admits we didn't cover ourselves in glory, that's the famous quote. why did he bring this up and contradict other statements. >> it's hard to imagine he was
3:20 am
doing anything other than protect his own neck. there have been rumors he might be considering resignation. he has done something, painted himself to a corner in a way. just like his boss president trump, the rule in this white house seems to be you never apologize. it's seen as weakness, it's seen as indecisive. it's seen as better to sort of plouffe your way through if you have to. he seems to be trying to plouffe his way through. we have the facts. we know he had lots of information about rob porter's shortcomings. he did not act on shortcomings, rather than doing what any of us would do, which is to say, sorry, he's trying a different strategy. >> we'll see if that works. errol louis, thank you. president trump says trade wars are good and easy to win. now europe says they are preparing to fight back. could china be next? also, a russian sex guru claims to have compelling evidence about the connections
3:21 am
between between russian lawmakers and president trump and promises to reveal all of it on one condition.

3:27 am
policy. listen to this. >> we'll probably have everything completed by next week. we'll be imposing tariffs on steel imports and tariffs and aluminum imports. you're going to see a lot of good things happen. >> those tariffs will took effect next week. that announcement surprised staff and sent stock market into tailspin. at one point dow jones industrial was down about 500 plus points. the dow was down 3.05%, though, for the week. martin. >> after president trump fired those opening shots in what could become a trade war, countries around the world are now threatening to fight back. here is cnn correspondent tom foreman with a look at who the winners and losers might be if trump follows through on his plan. >> reporter: take a look at the fumbles here. the united states imports about a third of the raw steel, 90% of all the aluminum it uses. these proposed tariffs would
3:28 am
push up the cost by 25 and 10% respectively. that's money that would be paid by the countries who wanted to get their product on u.s. soil. if it was more expensive it could help u.s. steel and aluminum making them more competitive especially since they have complained for years about unfair practices overseas anyway. what about all the companies that rely on that raw material to make cars and airplanes and equipment and aluminum cans and appliances? what about those companies? now they would face a different supply chain where there maybe shortages, higher prices and that could affect a lot of people in other fields. estimates have 80 times as pane people work many stuff out of that raw material than in actually producing raw material. those people would face uncertain wages, uncertain hours, maybe more off shoring, not to mention what would happen
3:29 am
with consumers out there. one estimate said some products in some places could go up 50%. i don't know if we know that but there's uncertainty in the consumer market about what the impact would be. does this get at trade practices for other countries. does it strike a blow for that. depends, we don't have details. this is where the united states gets foreign steel frchlt canada the biggest supplier, brazil, south korea, russia and so forth. you know who is not in the top ten, though? china. the country the united states, the president has said so many years is not being a fair trading partner out there. this the one president trump said he wants to get at. would this get at them? it might. but the numbers suggest only after it had an exact on a lot of long-standing trade allies and possibly unleashed a trade war with very uncertain outcomes. >> tom foreman.
3:30 am
thanks very much for breaking it down. the european union may strike back if the president follows through on the tariff plan. they could retaliate by putting their own tariffs on levi jeans, harley davidson motorcycle and boshon whiskey. >> china, they could tax soybeans or squeeze companies such as apple, intel. matt rivers is live in beijing. matt, what are you hearing there regarding the reaction and things to come. >> so far the reaction in china has been relatively muted because frankly aluminum and steel are not the kind of exports china relies on to make sure their country stays healthy. if this signals a tougher line policy of the administration toward china, there's a lot the government here could do that would really hurt u.s. industry. >> we'll be imposing tariffs on steel imports and tariffs on
3:31 am
aluminum imports. you're going to see a lot of good things happen. >> good things happen. that's not what u.s. industries operating in china are expecting after the president's tariff announcement thursday. in fact, u.s. exporters that rely on the chinese market are down right nervous. start with the simple soybean, u.s. is top exporter and china is its biggest buyer by far. billions and billions of dollars worth unloaded at ports last year. chinese processings industry the largest in the world and it's going to keep getting bigger. american farmers are well positioned to take advantage of that growth. soybean council exports exports of soybeans to keep rising for 20 years. >> it's not just farmers reaping benefits. >> your diners and doctors and other companies. >> reporter: which is why all
3:32 am
this talk of a looming u.s. china trade war is burke's biggest concern. the newly announced steel and aluminum tariffs, not to mention chinese solar products and looming investigation into chinese intellectual property theft could signal what many awaited, hard line rhetoric on the campaign trail turning into harder line policy. but china will not take that lying down. the soybean export council told as much by chinese officials during a september meeting. >> increased trade tensions, soybeans could likely be a potential target in any type of chinese recaliation. >> restrictions on access could devastate uss industry. not just soy, other industries and companies could be targets, too. think apple, boeing, cisco, pawns in a trade war with lots of influence back home. >> they understand very clearly the political pressure points in the u.s., whether it's in
3:33 am
congress or in local state houses and certainly to the house. >> a recent survey shows the majority of u.s. companies in china think trade between both countries isn't fair. they want things to change but nobody wants a trade war. to achieve both any new u.s. policies will have to walk a thin line, as thin as a flake of soybean. now, we've spoken to a lot of business owners in china, people with american chamber of commerce. like we said, there is a desire to change this relationship, the trade deficit between the united states and china is quite large but post of the people we've spoken to said tariffs are not the way to do this. one good thing, though, perhaps, is china has just as much to lose in a trade war as the united states does. >> all right. matt rivers, thanks very much. china is crucial for trade. all right. it was a very tense day in colorado yesterday after a state
