what happened to the mayor." thanks for your time. "newsroom" takes over right now. a very happy monday afternoon to you. it's already a busy start to 2023. right now the man charged with killing four idaho college students is planning to waive extradition. what more we're learning about him. plus, tens of thousands of people paying respects in-person to former pope benedict and soccer legend pele. two men who meant so much to so many. we begin with the machete attack on three new york city police officers. sources saying the teen was on a watch list. gloria, what more are we learning this hour?

>> reporter: right, akbby. traveled from maine to attack these police officers new year's eve not far from times square as thousands were pouring into the area to watch the new year's eve ball drop celebration. also just heard from police officials who told me trevor bickford charged with two counts of attempted murder of a police officer and two counts of assault. he remains in the hospital under police guard and i point out he has not yet been charged with any federal crimes. that remains an option. we heard from law enforcement forces who tell us the u.s. attorney of new york in the southern district was weighing whether or not to charge bickford with any federal offenses. more what we know of the suspect. we know he traveled here on saturday on an amtrak train and traveled here to the area on new

year's eve. he was carrying a backpack, which included in its content a handwritten diary where he wrote about his sddesire to travel to afghanistan, join the taliban and willingness to die for his religion. now, as we know from the investigation and what police tell us, he approached one of the security checkpoints around the perimeter here of times square. that's where he approached that police officer striking him on the head with a machete's he struck a second officer, a third officer fired his weapon, injurininjure ing bickford in the shoulder and he continues to recover in the hospital. we are awaiting the possible motivation what exactly drove bickford to do this, and what more we can learn about why this happened. abby? >> and gloria, what is the latest on the condition of those officers that were injured in

this attack? >> reporter: yeah. three police officers, abby, including a police rookie who had just graduated from the police academy last week. mayor eric adams extremely emotional when he spoke about those three officers the night of the attack. he commended their actions for the way that they responded. he highlighted the fact they were able to secure the area and ensure that everybody was going through that security checkpoint, despite the fact that they had just been under attack by this man. so those three officers have been released from the hospital. they are all at home recovering. abby? >> that is the good news in all of this. gloria, thank you so much for that report. let's discuss this now with jonathan, a cnn law enforcement analyst. jonathan, hearing now the latest news, two counts of attempted

murder of a police officer, and two counts of attempted assault. terrorism charge, not included in those charges. do you think that that will be forthcoming, and why so far was that not included in the charges we are hearing about now? >> listen, the charges that the suspect faces are significant. anytime you attack a law enforcement officer there needs to be consequences. broader theme here, is there a nexus to tear original and that's what investigators are looking for right now. was this act that was carried out on new year's eve in times square, was this infurtherance of an ideology and was the actions connected to some sort of foreign terror group? how are they going to do that? right now going through every aspect of the suspect's life, all connections, everything they know about him from a digital standpoint, who he's been talking to online. digital conversations. then, really, what did the

previous 48, 72 hours look like before this attack when he traveled from wellsny to new york city? who did he have contact with during that time he was in the city? i think, really, the question is, was this attack inspired by some sort of ideology or was it directed by this extremist ideology he written about both in his diary and online? >> that's really the central question here. the suspect was according to our recording interviewed by fbi agents in mid-december. his family so concerned he reached out to law enfirstment. he was on a terror watch list. does it matter whether or not he was directed by foreign entities, terrorists ententies, or is it sufficient that he himself says that he wanted to do it, allegedly, in furtherance of his religion or inspired by these ideologists? >> well, you know, there's a

couple things here. first one step back and talk about the alerting by the suspect's own mother and grandmother to the welles police department raising concerns about this individual back in mid-december. you know, this goes back to that thing we always say. see something, say something. raise concern. the thing that investigators specifically the fbi will be focused on right now is what changed? what changed from the moment they interviewed him in mid-december to saturday night? was there more self- self-radicalization like diving into different types of propaganda, or directed? don't want to speculate one side or the other, but that's what they're focused on right now. >> did anyone drop the ball here? he was flagged, as you mentioned, but still able to travel from maine to new york, to carry out this attack? >> you know, i think there might be a little misnomer here when

placed on the fbi watch list. the fbi watch list is actually run by a terrorist screening center of the fbi. it's really centralized repository of individuals who have been involved in terrorism, or related activities. the bucket the quest to seek, participation in taliban, you know, with the taliban, and, you know, posting all of this stuff online as the "related activity" side of things but it doesn't restrict your travel around the united states. right? he didn't commit a crime yet. but he was of concern. his own parent, i mean, his own mother, raised the concern about him to law egg nforcement. different aspects why he was placed on that watch list, but the restriction. no restriction traveling on trains, driving in cars, going state to state. it really raises, it's a tracking mechanism that allows

law enforcement to understand the movements of people both you know, coming in and out of the country and in other investigative techniques. >> i wonder when you think about the weapon that was used here, a machete, not a firearm. think about it, probably saved a lot of people innocent bystanders, the officer now going home. what does it say to you this was the weapon of choice for this individual? >> listen, i mean, i think in terms of, like, thinking about the ease of use. right? if i do not know how to procure a firearm and use a firearm, you know, a machete, a sharp-edged weapon is something that's, you know, readily available. easy to get. easy to conceal. think about it. he was walking around new york city for a few days. did he have this on him at all times? i think this really highlights the danger to the general public that individuals who, you know,

harbor these extremist beliefs and ideologists, the threat they face to the general public. what i want to know is why was this location chosen? why was that specific checkpoint of any other location, why that moment in time did the suspect launch the attack against these three officers? thankfully they will be okay, recovering and their quick action really prevented this from becoming a much worse situation than it actually was, but a lot of questions remain unanswered at this time and i think as the investigation moves forward we'll garner more information as to, really, what the motivation was here. >> at the suspect did not die in this attack. he's still alive and hopefully we'll be able to get answers to those questions. thank you so much for joining us. now on to the case of these four college students who were killed in idaho. the suspect was arrested on friday in pennsylvania, and is

expected to waive extradition at his court appearance tomorrow. that's according to his attorney. cnn's veronica miracle is in moscow, idaho, and we're also learning that the family of the suspect, bryan kohberger, is planning to attend this extradition hearing. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: exactly what we're hearing and a public defender releasing a statement from his family on behalf of them saying that, they're expressing deepest sadness and also talking how they are praying for those four families who have lost their loved ones, but also saying that they are supporting their son and brother and want to see this process play out in the court system before they make any assumptions about what exactly happened. and what happened here exactly what the motive is, and if there's any kind of connection between bryan kohberger, the suspect and those victims?

that is information we are told is in the probable cause affidavit and where we should learn more information, but that document remains sealed until kohberger comes back to the state of idaho. that's state law. so he has his extradition hearing tomorrow as you said. his attorney mentioned that he plans to waive extradition. she he could be back in the state of idaho. could take a couple days. i asked the police chief what that is, and security purports, they're not revealing that information, but the moscow chief is keeping the tip line open because they want to loear more about bryan kohberger. they're seeking a conviction and want to know if anyone in this area or even across the country has come in contact with him even way back to childhood trying to paint a picture of this person. here's what he had to say. >> now we're at a new point. now we know who we're looking

at. we want information on that individual. we want that updated information so we can start building that picture now. every tip matters. everything, every piece matters. we just want, you know, our community and the nation to continue to send us that. >> reporter: and abby, within one hour of that press conference ending friday where they announced the arrest, moscow police chief says they received 400 calls about bryan kohberger. >> thank you for that report. a deadly storm that drenched california new year's eve is now headed east. heavy rains knocked out power to thousands in northern california forcing several major highways to shut down and stranding drivers. two people unfortunately died in that storm. and now more than 15 million people from the west coast all the way to wisconsin are under winter weather alerts. cnn's tom sater is tracking all of this in that storm for us.

tom, this is becoming a triple threat storm system. >> reporter: abby, a terrible week in the u.s. deadly cold, arctic flash, windchills minus 67. hoar risk scenes in buffalo and then the tornado outbreak to the south. right. latest in a series of storms into kcalifornia given oakland wettest day in history. water rescues. snow with this but significant icing will set up and drop one to two feet of snowfall. warnings advisories in purple. an ice storm warning that covers several states from southern minnesota back into eastern nebraska. significant widespread icing. quarter inch to half an inch knocking out power to possibly tens of thousands, toss in the snow above that. one to two feet from areas you see from kansas all the way up in towards the great lakes. this event is winter on the north and, again, we have a tornado outbreak possible this afternoon.

texarkana towards the memphis area, tomorrow slides to the coastal states dut super cells tonight not only a flash flood threat but a tornado outbreak, sun sets at 5:21. everyone in this region needs to have cell phone ons set on notifications. look like we could have an outbreak tonight, overnight and into tomorrow afternoon. just keepiing coming. >> yeah. really just keeping coming. thank you. hours before the new congress kevin mccarthy's republican opponents xvowing to block his bid for speaker of the house. plus, jeremy renner in critical condition but stable after a snow now accident and the latest on the film star the condition is next. and elon musk just his a new milestone. it's not a good one. contestantnts ready? go! only pay for what you need. jingle: liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty..

all right. tomorrow the new republican-led house will be sworn in and its first accomplishment could be a political shocker one not seen in 100 years due to a feud in the republican caucus over the next speaker. leader kevin mccarthy needs 218 votes to back him meaning he could lose 4, just 4 and still become speaker. right now he's lost 5. at least 9 others may not back him. if they aren't bluffing tomorrow could be the first time in a century the house failed to elect a speaker on that first ballot. cnn's melanie zanona spent the weekend tracking all of these developments. where do things stand for kevin

mccarthy now. >> reporter: the math is getting worse not better despite the fact he's made a number of key concessions to critics, including making it easier to topple the speaker at any given moment. walked through a number of changes now supporting but on the call could not answer whether or not this would be enough to win him the speakership vote despite the fact a number of lawmakers frustrated by concessions pressed him on an app. is this enough, if we support this will you get to 18? could not respond. tellingly after that call a group of nine lawmakers pout ou a letter saying they are not satisfied. they want him to go further. others plan to vote against mccarthy on the floor tomorrow. at this point, abby, mccarthy can try to make more concessions and more promises to win over remaining holdouts or just go to the floor and dare everyone to vote against him. >> seems like that's where we're

headed with all this. stay with us here and bring in cnn's political analyst and white house correspondent for pbs news hour, laura barone lopez. laura, i mean, the next question is what does tomorrow look like be? these republicans got concessions from mccarthy are still holding out and marccarth said he's not dropping out after that first ballot. so what can people expect. >> could very well see multiple ballots on the floor. you know, representative bob good, melanie mentioned, said today on fox that he thinks there are going to be 10 or 15 on that first ballot that do not vote nofor mccarthy. pore terrib potentially someone who could emerge would come after that. difficult to see him getting votes on the first ballot. the second or third, how chaotic

on the floor. it's impossible to tell and i think it's striking everyone is preparing for this potentially messy, chaotic vote. president joe biden is preparing this week to head to kentucky and appear alongside senate minority leader mitch mcconnell trying to show house minority is having a messy rise to power as he is working with republicans on the other side. >> a contrast that rights itself. to that point a lot of republican frustration about chaos going in the first day of their leadership in the house and the fact it can go to a second ballot, even if mccarthy gets there, seem as clear sign of weakness. can he be counted on to get the majority he needs to govern? >> reporter: abby, if kevin mccarthy is able to become speaker, the weakest speaker in

recent memory. already given away a number of concessions, negotiated away a lot of his power, and importantly, a tool to enable them to call for a vote at any given moment to essentially fire him and they will use that over his head anytime he doesn't do what they like. think about the issues in terms of government funding, dead -- debt ceilinging and a number of things, kevin mccarthy front and center and at the middle of it all. difficult for him or anyone to lead this with emboldened conservative critics. >> and republican majority, about what is the outlook for getting anything done in this congress? >> of course, those big -- any big wish list item from democrats is unlikely to happen. the white house is very

well-aware of that, but where this really could potentially impact americans is, the debt ceiling. is government funding. of course, if the country were to default on its debt, that has real-life implications for americans especially if house republicans do what they have at times, forecasted they might do, which is hold the debt ceiling hostage in order to get cuts to social security and other social benefits that a lot of americans enjoy right now. that is where it could actually impact people on these must-pass bills that s s that fund the go and impact the debt ceiling. >> and this morning bob good believes there's an alternative that will emerge after that first vote. what's the chan the hill? do you have any idea who that might be? people have thrown out the name of steve scalise, kind of pushed that to the side for now, but what are you hearing? >> as first reported, cnn,

hard-liners approached steve scalise and jim jordan whether they would be willing to jump into the race. both says, no. not challenging mccarthy outright. bu but in talking to other republicans, can mccarthy drops out, no longer in the race, steve scalise would make a play for it. very popular in the conference. mccarthy's top deputy. always has a political operation and vote operation behind him, but very, very quiet and very careful to not come out and look like he's trying to angle for the job. he knows he can't. out there pub luckily supporting mccarthy and he will not challenge mccarthy. however, like i said, if mccarthy drops out i think all bets of off. >> yeah. if mccarthy drops out a totally different ball game. could quote kevin mccarthy spoke to reporters a couple minutes ago. told us what would happen it would take away the excitement of tore. we're waiting with bated breath. thank you both very much.

the controversial ceo of tesla and twitter the first to lose a $200 billion, billion with a "b" according to the bloomberg's billionaire index now worth a paltry $137 billion. good enough to make him second richest man in the world, but also means that his net worth has fallen by $203 billion since peaking at $340 billion in november of 2021. tesla's sinking stock prices largely responsible for that drop, and his $44 billion purchase of twitter hasn't done much to help either. sure there are a lot of people willing to take some of his cash. today is the final day of business and final day of existence for the january 6th house select committee. moments ago the panel released more stunning text messages and put out a new statement summing up their work. they wrote "we overcame many hurdles including efforts to conceal, obstruct our work and

more than a dozen lawsuits, many witnesses hid behind claims of privilege including donald trump himself who initially blustered he would be willing to testify then sued so he could actually avoid facing our questions." break it all down with tom foreman at the wall for us. tom, walk us through some of these new text messages just released. pretty interesting. >> reporter: certainly are. if you have any doubt the people in the white house knew what was happening and how accountable they be just look at the text messages from one of the president's longest most trusted advisers hope hicks to another on that day writing in one day he ended every future opportunity that doesn't include speaking engagements at the local proud boys chapter. extremist far right group and so will be perpetually unemployed. i'm so upset. we all now look like domestic

in fake electors trying to turn things over. we also know that meadows had an email from january 5th in which he indicated that the national guard would be present at the capitol on january 6th to protect pro-trump people. again, this is all without the context that we would like to have, that the committee would have had and would have had if meadows came forward to testify but he didn't. an then ronna mcdeath said to the committee i do have recollection of his, trump, asking what my relationship was with the vice president. i said, i didn't know him very well. in reference to the idea was there a way to get mike pence to do what trump wanted to do. she went on i believe privately or one way or the other the vice president had the authority, i don't know the correct legal term, he had authority to not accept the electors. now, she has said she didn't know there was an active plan to

swap these electors illegally, more standby electors but it all speaks to the idea a lot of people, a lot of people, abby, knew workings of these various plots to overturnillegal -- a legal election and a lot concerned about consequences if exposed. >> fascinating and interesting that the president was asking ronna mcdaniel about her relationship to his own vice president. >> exactly. right. >> tom, anything else that caught your eye in this latest batch of transcripts? >> a couple things came out. this is the tail end of it sort of. remarkable things coming out considering this is bottom of the barrel of all stuff released's one was remember cassidy hutchinson riveting talking how trump lunged at front of the presidential limo trying to turn the wheel because he wanted to join the capitol be, with his people. trying to start a fight in the

car trying to make his car go to the capitol. another aide, trump told he couldn't go to the capitol sort of shrugged it poff. same moment? a different moment? somebody's testimony not entirely true? we still don't know. still many, many questions what happened that day and incredibly clear going through the last dribs of the committee's report, potentially criminal and a lot of thought at the very least very bad consequences attached to it. >> yeah. and said so to each other privately, but not so much publicly. >> yeah. and that worry, that worry about being employable is a real thing. when people, you know, abby. people in this town line up with a candidate, a party, building careers based on that record. these were people saying what he has done has destroyed all of our careers because nobody will

want to be associated with us. >> yeah. tom, i would think there would also be a concern about safety of folks on the capitol. >> of course, of course. >> about our democracy, but that didn't seem to show up in the text messages either. thank you so much for all of that, tom foreman. coming can up next, jeremy renner in the hospital with critical injuries after a snow nowing incident. the late effort on the actor's condition will be next. -what's he doing? -he's cleaning the trash cans. oh, boy. meeting a new young homeowner for the first time is a unique challenge. -so you think you can help? -i can try. hey,hat you doing? oh, just cleaning my trash cans. wow. it's important to build trust. see you put your address and phone number on here. well, you can never be too safe. with trash?

utilize these snow plows. he posts videos of himself frequently on instagram of him clearing the snow and in his long driveway and nearby streets of others. so he is used to being around this heavy machinery. so unclear exactly what happened. did he fall off of a snow plow? did it roll back on him? a lot of speculation on social media what could have happened. we are expecting to potentially hear some more details later today from his team, but, again, this is a very tough situation for him, for everyone involved, and, again, he is in critical condition. this was a very traumatic incident that took place yesterday morning near his home. you know what a way to kick off the new year on new year's eve for him. thoughts and prayers go out to jeremy and his family right now. >> we are all hoping for the best in this terrible situation. chloe whichy melas, thank you. to australia and the scene of a deadly helicopter accident. authorities say four people were

♪ today thousands are paying their last respects to pope emeritus benedict xvi. his body is lying in state in st. peter's basilica today. he died on saturday at the age of 95. benedict stunned the world in 2013 when he announced his plans to step down. he was the first pope to do so in 600 years. cnn's fred pleitgen joins us now from st. peter's square. fred, in recent years, the former pope has been criticized over his handling of the church abuse scandals, but how are people characterizing benedict's legacy now? >> reporter: yeah. first of all, he certainly has, abby, and i think that's certainly something that in

certain ways might taint his legacy, but i think for many people that some of the things that happened with abuse in the catholic church are a bigger problem than pope benedict and certainly span a lot longer than pope benedict was actually the pope. it's certainly something that he took note of and apologized for as well. one of the things he did in the last months of his life is he acknowledged there were mistakes made not just when he was pope but also, for instance, when he was the archbishop in munich as well, so it's definitely something that will influence the way people view pope benedict. there's two different ways to look at this. on the one hand you have the catholic church as a whole around the world and benedict might have been seen as an interim pope after john paul ii and before pope francis. he was certainly a lot more quiet than that. but i do think inside the

vatican, inside the power center of the church there's pretty much no one that had more influence than pope benedict xvi and before that when he was car cardinal ratzinger. inside the walls behind me people are saying this is the end of a massive era in the catholic church, abby. >> that's right. what an historic moment for the world to see a pope lying in state, not, you know, the end of -- not the beginning of a new papacy because there is another pope right now. fred pleitgen, thank you very much. >> reporter: yeah. and in brazil they are coming by the thousands to say good-bye to a hero and a sports legend, pele. he died last week at the age of 82, and as a steady stream of mourners continues to file past his casket on the grounds of the santos football club, the wake for the former soccer icon will

extend through tomorrow morning. after the wake, a funeral procession will pass through the streets of santos. stefanno is covering this all for us. set the scene for us where you're at. >> reporter: abby, we have the privilege of witnessing two lying in state actually because while fred was talking from st. peter's basilica up in rome, here in santos pele is definitely considered a pontiff of the beautiful game, a pontiff of the beautiful game of soccer. it's quite a striking image seeing his wake take place in the middle of a soccer stadium, a place normally so full of chants and joy and of screaming fans. it's now very somber, very solemn. there is a low samba playing in the background that you can see

behind my back, thousands of fans that have already been walking and are now walking to pay their respects. some of them have been waiting for hours. they came from all over brazil for this moment really, historic for everybody involved in the world of soccer. >> it is. thanks. and that does it for me today. thanks for joining me. the news will continue right after this quick break. hey, man. nice pace! clearly, you're a safe driviver. you could sasave hundreds for safe driving with liberty mutual. they customize your c car insurance... ...so you only pay fofor what you need!
