a very difficult rush hour today and tomorrow but we're watching the storms that could possibly be spinning. it's the ones that could put down the tornado. now there's been a lot of wind damage as well because a 60 or 70 mile per hour wind can do significant damage to homes and to mobile homes. that's where most of the severe weather will be today. that's where it will be tomorrow. to the north here is where the snow is. snowing in nebraska, south dakota, sioux city. sioux falls as well. snow on the ground for you as you wake up, try to drive to work. this is a big system. it runs all the way from the -- basically the great lakes all the way down to the gulf coast. so good to see you again. happy new year. >> happy new year. >> hope you had a nice couple of days off. >> i sure did. in the desert where none of that was happening. chad myers. thanks for joining us. i'm christine romans. "cnn this morning" starts right now.

well, you can see that the ambulances s out there on the field and they are invencely working on damar hamlin. >> look at the faces. showing the horror we all felt after that terrible event on the football field last night. i mean it is really, really tough to watch, and frankly, showing the video is -- we went back and forth whether we should show it, think you should see it and then won't play that much. i'm don lemon along with kaitlan collins, and poppy harlow. damar hamlin, in critical

condition after collapsing on the field last night. >> how did this happen? and tell you the league's response in the aftermath. today with only hours to go before republicans take control of the house, kevin mccarthy is still struggling to get the votes he would need to become speaker. we'll tell you what happens if he falls short. but we're going to begin with that terrible incident that happened on the field monday night. damar hamlin collapsing after making a tackle. the bills say he suffered cardiac arrest and his heartbeat restored on the field. an nfl player revived in the middle of the game. in critical condition at this hour at a cincinnati hospital while medical personnel worked to revive him and players on both teams overcome with emotion and consoling each other. tributes pouring in from the sports world and beyond with people sending their thoughts and prayers for hamlin. straight to cnn's adrian broadus

live in cincinnati. the latest on damar's condition? >> reporter: good morning to you, don. he is listed in critical but stable condition. he has played every game this season with his team. normally he's on the field fighting to lead his team to victory, but this morning that 24-year-old is at this hospital fighting for his life. the first "monday night football" game of 2023 between the buffalo bills and cincinnati bengals ends abruptly in tragedy after buffalo bills safety damar hamlin on bengals white receiver higgins. >> lowers the shoulder. >> reporter: you see hamlin standing briefly and then -- collapsing on the field. >> now another bills' player is down. >> when i saw that young man fall to the ground the way he did, it felt like my soul had left my body.

>> reporter: within minutes after his collapse medical staff started cpr on him right on the field. >> usually you see players gather around a player that happened tonight, when they saw them start doing crest compressions you saw the reaction of those players walking away, distraught and emotional. the kind of things we don't see on a football field. >> reporter: the 24-year-old star suffered a cardiac arrest according to the bills. his heartbeat restored on the field and an ambulance driven on the field to transport him to a local hospital. >> never seen anyone have cpr administered to them on the practice field or the game field. so that's when i became concerned. >> reporter: players huddled on the field visibly emotional. the nfl then postponed the game. >> we were not ready for this. we were not prepared for this. these are all men that spend time together, growing together. making sure that one another is all right. doing whatever you have to do

for your brother, and you are now put in the hopeless position of being absolutely helpless. >> reporter: hamlin is receiving care at the university of cincinnati medical center where fans could be seen holding vigil. nfl executive vice president of football operations, troy benson, says some of hamlin's teammates decided to stay behind. hamlin's teammate stefon diggs captured here arriving at the hospital to visit his friend and teammate. this, as well-wishes are pouring in from the sports world. >> from this cavalier organization we want to wish the best and pray for him as well. >> safety of players in all sports, there's always emotion for itself. it was a terrible thing to see. >> reporter: it was tough to watch. meanwhile, the bills' publishing a tweet saying that the

24-year-old is currentcurrently sedated. >> thank you. >> coy, remind you previously played with the bills. and also with us, a spokesperson for preventative medicine. to watch that, the former -- you're a former player on that same team. you know what it's like to be on the field, like, almost no one else. what did you think? >> hi, poppy and don. we you know -- seaseeing those images scratched open a lot of emotional wounds for me. i played six of my nfl seasons there in buffalo, in that stadium. played the same position. played safety there. i've experienced injury, loss of consciousness, one time lost consciousness, didn't remember what happened to the next day. have a titanium screw in my

neck. emotions, feeling about that, also thought about the players, teammates rocked by this. this is a team tight like brothers. you're co-workers but you spend more time with your teammates during the season than with your spouse, with your family. so there are strong connection there's. these are players who have been through a lot, as have so many people in the city of buffalo. these are players who mourn the death and rallied after the mass shooting about seven months ago in buffalo. players who mourned and then rallied for the dozens of people who lost their lives just about a week ago in the tragic blizzard there in buffalo. these are young men who have been through a lot. those are some of the things that i was thinking about. you knew something wasn't right when you saw him stand up and suddenly collapse. but i've been in situations where an ambulance has come on

the field. so it just resonates, and scratches open a lot of mental wounds for me, having watched that last night. trying to watch the game as a fan, but clearly, it took a tragic turn. >> doctor, when you watch this, you know, he was hit, got up and then fell down. this is -- its caused by an abrupt blow to the chest exactly at the wrong time. football is a game of hits. are you surprised it hasn't happened morin often? >> definitely. first and foremost my prayers go out to damar hamlin, his family and the entire bills organization. actually, we see these type of events happening more often in baseball than football. it can happen in any competitive or sport where there's impact, where you have a projectile or a moving body part can cause it. you have a sudden blow to the chest wall. it has to happen in the exact location at the precise timing. so in this instance over the left ventricle, the lower

chamber part of the heart, responsible for pumping out that oxygenated blood during the heartbeat you get this stun and then the heart becomes this -- uncoordinated frenzy of electrical activity. what we call ventricular fibrillation unfortunately leads to sudden cardiac arrest. it's no longer beating in organized fashion anymore. >> there were those critical moments of cpr on the field. i think 16 minutes before in the ambulance and on the way to the hospital. do most people make it out of this? >> you know, poppy what we are seeing is a slow improvement in those who live through this type of event. we hear anywhere from about 15 to just below 30 of these events happening that unfortunately lead to death. what is so critical, and when we do see about 58% of people surviving, is that you get immediate cpr, and that person has access to an aed.

an automatic external defibrillator. >> that's important. the got to be important. especially when you have these big events. most office buildings, even this one, we have a defibrillator on hand which does save lives. coy, back to you talk about the human aspect and your personal knowledge of this. because you see obvious the emotional response on the players there, but also the nfl's response. the team's response. the coach's response there. and the discussions about safety, ongoing safety on the field andimagine it was a group not to continue on with this game from a lot of people involved? >> yeah. i was on a conference call at about midnight eastern time last night with the executive vice president of football operations troy vincent when this event happened. he's on the phone with commissioner roger goodell. they're on the phone with head official. on the phone with both head

coaches, relays messages realtime what the situation is. and ultimately it came to the point troy vincent asked the coaches if they'd like their teams to go back to the locker room, you see there. at that point the coach is basically assessed mental state of their team and determined that what they had seen was too traumatizing and not worth sending them back out on to that football field fopto me, it's a step in the right direction. before, calls for players' safety that rang hollow from the nfl, but this was a big step to do this. showing there has been a paradigm shift and that player safety is truly important, more important than the game that we play. i was on the field with my teammate for the buffalo bills kevin everett in 2007. covering a kick together. he hit the wedge, and he fell

paralyzed to the ground. playing at stamford university, my teammate kerry carter tackled by a player named curtis williams from the university of washington. number 25. he was hit. he was paralyzed from the neck down. two years later lost his life due to complications from that paralysis. both of those games, ambulances came to the field. players huddled, tears, crying, just as we saw last night, but those games went on. the one last night did not. i think that's a huge statement being made in that players, coaches specifically are really understanding that player health and safety is the most important thing and it should be and that's going to echo down through the collegiate and high school and youth levels, which is vitally important, that we get to continue this paradigm shift. >> so, you know, i said today as we were talking about this story. i'm sure it's the first thing parents thought about. especially moms. about what their sons, mostly sons playing football.

>> yeah. you knew. >> what you thought? >> it happened after i went to bed. so i woke up at 3:00 this morning and the first thought i had was my son. that's what every mom says and i think show, it's not from last night but it's from november, of him giving his mom a hug, coy, and i think that's a question that every parent has this morning, is it worth it? i know it's not a popular question to ask. but -- how do you wrestle with that? >> it's actually "the" question to ask. not popular but the question to ask. coy, go ahead? the question. >> we have to remember although it is a game we play, this is a career path chosen. sometimes in situations when the time you're a child it's your dream, your hope. you go to college and you study something, but you're getting there to get your degree in football, because you want to be a professional athlete. and they've dedicated their lives to this, and we understand the risks and consequences.

especially now today more than ever. and -- but we take very seriously how dangerous it is. it's not many places at work that you go to, don and poppy, where before you go out there to perform or execute your job for the day that you all huddle around, get down on a knee and say the lord's prayer. that is commonplace in the nfl. we understand that you cannot take any play for granted. that every play, you're putting your life at risk, and this is just, reminding us how precious life is. so poppy, hug that son a little tighter tonight. right? when you get home. and we all just remember that, how dangerous this sport is and should be grateful for the players who go out there and perform for us. >> beautifully said and we're grateful for you, coy. thank you very much, and to you doctor. very grateful. thank you. we're going to cover this all morning and waiting for a lot of updates from the hospital and will let you know what we hear. dr. sanjay gupta will join us as well. current and former football

welcome back to "cnn this morning." i 578 live on capitol hill where the new congress is set to convene today, but before members take their oaths of office the house must select a speaker. kevin mccarthy so far is acting confident moving his boxes into the speaker's office as you see here, but if he does not get 218 votes, he will not be in that office for much longer. even after making concession after concession to try to coax far-right ultraconservative meshes to back him it is unclear this morning if he can actually get the support he needs. 218 votes he needs to become house speaker. it will be historic if he does not win in a first-round vote in a few hours from now. a leader trying to be speak hear

not lost a first-round vote in nearly a century. every speaker since 1923 clenched the gavel after just one vote. joining me now, lauren, trying to get the votes, working on the phone even into late last night. where does it stand as of 6:00 a.m. this morning? >> reporter: we are on the precipice of what could be a very messy day on capitol hill, kai kaitlan. sources i talk to genuinely did not know what it going to happen today. >> happy new year. i, for one, am excited for 2023. >> reporter: a speakership hanging in the balance. after months of outreach, republican leader kevin mccarthy heads to the floor tuesday unsure if he has the votes to be the next speaker. on monday, mccarthy was asked the same question. >> do you have the votes for speaker tomorrow? >> i think we'll have a good day tomorrow. >> reporter: a revealing answer showing the math problem mccarthy's been battling for

weeks, with a narrow majority, he can only afford to lose four republican votes. so far, five republicans have publicly said they'd vote against him. nine more penning a letter warning his attempts to win them over have been too little too late. still, allies say mccarthy isn't going to bow out of the race. >> he's worked very hard to get the votes. he's worked very hard to earn the job as speaker. and we'll see whether this is placated the people that put out a list of demands. he gone really up to the line. conceded on virtually everything on that two-page document. >> reporter: mccarthy is determined to win, even if that means multiple rounds of balloting on the house floor. something that hasn't happened for a century. behind the scenes mccarthy is still scrambling for support. one of them a rooms change that would weaken the power of the very job he's vying for and lower the threshold it takes to call for a vote to oust the speaker from a majority to just

five meshes. >> if nothing done to earn my vote i suspect 10 to 15 members who will vote against him on the first ballot. >> reporter: there's some real practical implications if mccarthy cannot secure the votes today to be the speaker. it he doesn't get the votes, kaitlan, they can't pass a ruled package. if they don't dou that by januay 13th, they sent a letter to staffers, they won't be paid. >> and also talking a few moments ago. in only washington, you can have an idea where things go. truly one of those moments you have no idea what will happen's in just a few hours from now. one thing happening toes is george santos is coming to washington. he has been under incredible scrutiny, not just from the press but prosecutors over this life of fantasy he's created. now the "new york times" reports that brazilian official, reopening a fraud investigation related to him there. what is the latest on that? >> reporter: i think when he comes to washington he is going

to be questioned in a way he is just not used to. lawmakers on capitol hill walk the halls and reporters do, too. which means he's going to face so many mounting questions. obviously facing local and federal probes as well as this one in brazil. i think that that is certainly all going to lead to questions not just to him but also for leadership. what are they going to do about him? they have so far been able to side-step those questions, because laymakers have been gone for the hom days. they're back today and that changes. >> and a lot of questions for lawmakers, for kevin mccarthy. big day for you today. we'll stay in touch with you on this. back to you, don and poppy. on top of not knowing who the speaker's going to be kaitlan, you've got this guy, basically no one really knows who he is. can we even trust what he says he is? right? are his credentials, bona fides, it's fascinating.

you'll be privy to best made stuff today. >> one of the reasons people believe mccarthy is quiet on that. he wants these votes and amazing to see how connected it all is. it is going to be quite a chaotic day in washington. we say that a lot but this is going to really be something to watch. >> certainly so. kaitlan back with us clouthroug the day. and sending love to buffalo bills safety damar hamlin after collapsing in last night's game against the cincinnati bengals. what they're saying about the scary incident. that's next. ♪ the only thing i regret about my life was hiring local talent. if i knew about upwork. i would have hired actually talentepeople

cardiac arrest event, and my mother would retell me how that happened and essentially there one minute and gone the next. and then when i watched that and i saw him just collapse to the ground, get up and collapse, something in me just knew it. i was like, this is really bad. it wasn't like he stayed on the ground. he got up. suggested something was knock off in his cardiac rhythm and someone who used to pitch. talking all morning how it was more common in baseball. i used to wear a heart guard. didn't think i was reactionary enough if a ball came back to me. i knew perfectly well, get something right at the heart at the wrong time it could all be gone. it's just so fortunate they had medical personnel there. that made all the difference. >> make it clear, it is suspected cardiac arrest caused this but they're unsure and trying to figure it out. since you are a superfan, damar,

humble guy, wanted to help out and pay back? >> his toy charity. trying to raise all that money online. damar hamlin is someone whose name i learned this season, right? the bills safety micah hyde joins one of the best dynamic duo safeties from the league, micah hyde had a neck injury, had to drop out and damar hamlin took his spot. all videos we've seen and all the stories we know is that damar hamlin was just a decent human being. right? that's really what this story is about. is decent human beings and the people, cincinnati fans, buffalo fans, gathering outside that hospital. the game becomes so secondary. you know, last night when it happened i couldn't move from my couch for two hours. normally i'm the most talkative guy in the world. i sat there, stunned, silenced. >> i stopped dinner. had a friend with a celebratory

dinner dinner. 12 of us. i said, stop. turned it on. you just have to watch. people transfixed. >> it really does stop you in your tracks and the other thing i'll just add is that cincinnati and buffalo sort of have this lock, because five years ago the bills, i used to have a line bills hadn't made the playoffs since my bar mitzvah, and cincinnati had to win a game to make first playoff appearance in 1999. back in 2017, and cincinnati did it. in response to that buffalo sent a slew, the fans, basically raised a ton of money for andy dalton's charity, who was the quarterback for the cincinnati bengals at the time. a real tie between these two sort of ohio, new york, near each other. smaller cities in these states that have larger cities and just sort of this, this place where football really means a lot to both of these cities. >> boy, has buffalo been through it, man. >> and you know, buffalo has

really been through it. whether the shooting at the supermarket earlier in the year. obviously the blizzard just, what was it? a week ago? losing track of time, but buffalo really lives and -- i hate -- really just lives through their team. right? this is a city that's lost a lot of population. it's a city if you look, ratings in buffer lowe for the bills' games are higher than pretty much any other team. to see this happen, i just -- it's just so tragic. >> what a great guy he is. just want to play as we go to break for everyone this sound of him just a few months ago talking about his teammate jackson, when injured. talking about cherishing life. so we're going to place this for you quickly as we go to break. >> i cherish it every second that i can, you know, every second of every day. just had our prayer, our prayer every wednesday outside next to me. i grabbed his hand a little hardser because you never know when the last day could be that you get to experience something like this. you know?

here and you're watching all of this drama play out on the republican side. what do you make of it all? >> i think drama is a great word for it. i have to be honest. i don't think the average sm american is paying a whole lot of attention or inspired what's going on with this chaos. so it's definitely interesting, but -- >> see it more as a distraction? >> it matters having a leader that can get stuff done, that can fix things, work across the aisle, that is what people care about. that's what matters to normal working families like mine. kevin's not that person. he's never going to be that person who can work across the aisle and deliver. i think it's -- even if folks aren't paying a lot of attention to it, you know it does matter. >> yeah. it does matter. there's a unity candidate potentially emerging if it does devolve into chaos today and maybe someone that democrats would actually come across the aisle and vote for.

is that something that you and other freshmen discussed behind the scenes? >> i don't know if folks are discussing it. there are a lot of republicans i respect and think would do a much, much better job. so i think it will be an act of god if we can deliver a unity candidate, but it would be great for american. >> which republicans would that be? >> honestly naming names at this point is probably counterproductive and i'm not in leadership. i'm not trying to be a member who's a party insider and spending a lot of energy thinking about leadership questions. so i'm -- i am very interested to see what today -- today will not be boring t. will not be boring, safe to say. you have a fascinating win as we were just talking about the district you won in. voted for trump twice. up against this trump-backed opponent and you had an appeal during your campaign that looked different than other democrats worked on across country. this working-class appeal.

i wonder how you are going to use that to shape your time here in washington? >> yeah. working for a living. working in the trades. being a rural american, what my priorities are and probably why i don't care too much about the leadership questions and this drama. it's how do we make lives measurably better. my small business broken into four times now. just got broken into again a few weeks ago. i had a car stolen a few weeks ago. it's a really difficult time for a lot of people, and it's just so much of this, it feels like drama. >> do you think members of your party are paying enough attention to issues like? like crime, like the things you've been dealing with yourself? >> i don't think -- i think that -- what i've seen is that to get elected, to be in congress takes so much money. it takes so much -- such a

network. i think it's really, really hard for normal people to be elected into congress, and i feel really grateful to have had this unique set of circumstances where i was able to communicate with my district and able to put my experiences to use in a way i think will serve my district well. >> what can leader, democratic leaders on capitol hill learn from that experience and from you? >> well -- i don't think it's really about me. i don't think it's about me as an individual. i think it's more about sort of the overriding principles of building a congress that looks more like america. i think that the candidate selection process is fundamentally broken. you know, what people think makes -- what a lot of kind of political people think make as good candidate, a lot of americans don't agree with anymore. we don't just want, like, single men with a law degree. we want people who fix things

happening today, the suspect in the killing of four idaho college students is scheduled to appear in court in pennsylvania. that is 28-year-old bryan kohberger facing first-degree murder charges and is expected to wave extradition to expedite his return to idaho where the murders took place. jean casarez joins us outside in pennsylvania. >> reporter: a simple procedure right here at the court of common pleas in straussberg

where it will all take place legally speaking an extradition hearing is where the commonwealth of pennsylvania has to allow someone within their borders to go to another state to face criminal charges, and it's constitutionally important. it's important that the judge see the defendant so he can voluntarily show that he is agreeing to do that. now, here's what's interesting, because normally when you have any type of proceeding with a criminal defendant at a courthouse, there's sometimes an underground garage they drive through to park and get him in the courthouse so nobody sees him or an underground tunnel between the jail and the courthouse. they don't have that here. so they are going to have to take him from the correction facility and really just bring him to one of the entrances here. now, what we're understanding is that they may drape the entrance so the public cannot see him, as he gets out of the car and walks in. however, the judge is allowing pool cameras to be right there

in the hallway next to the courtroom so we, and i mean all of us, we are going to get to see this person who is now accused of killing, murdering, four young college students. also i want to say that on our air yesterday, steve talked about this, he will be at every hearing in idaho and he says he's going to look him in the a deal with all of us. >> thank you, jean. and martina navratilova. doctors discovered a lump in her neck last year and diagnosed as cancer. also stage one cancer found in her breast. she previously battled breast cancer in 2010.

here's the statement. martina navratilova set this double whammy is damns but still fixable. hoping for a favorable outcome, and so are we hoping for that. bring in a professor of oncology, dr. otis brody. thank you for joining us. 2 in 17 percent of people with cancer, with multiple diagnoses, is this so rare, but it does happen? >> good morning. yes. this does happen. you know, about 40% of us will ultimately get cancer, and it's 15% to 17% will have two cancers. it's not common for it to happen at the same time, but it does happen that people are diagnosed with two cancers at the same time. >> is it complicating treatment for her? >> it complicates treatment only

a bit. we are actually taught that we should treat the patient as if they have -- treat each cancer separately. do what treatments you need to do for each cancer. so the people who treat her throat cancer are going to have to talk to and coordinate with the people who treat her breast cancer. but people can do very well with two low-stage cancers like this. >> she has been -- she's upbeat, read the statement, she believes this is fixable. as i also said, she dealt with this in 2010. i want to play her talking about her diagnosis and her prognosis, as a matter of fact, as well in 2010. here it is. >> it was a shock to my system but as an athlete, as a tennis player we are positive. we have to be, and we get into solutions. as shocking as the news was to me, it really knocked me on my butt literally but i said, okay.

what do we need to do? cried about 30 seconds and got over it. okay. what do we do? how dom we get to a solution? >> that's great. i'm sure you need to have a great meant many, upbeat attitude about it, but what does it say about what happened to her cancer then and now, doctor? >> you know, she showed tremendous courage and grace there. and let's hope that she has the same very positive outcome this time. it is indeed possible. by the way, it is common that women who have breast cancer might get a second breast cancer 10 or 15 years later. >> hmm. there you go. >> thank you, doctor, otis brody. appreciate it. we're all rooting for her. >> thank you, doctor. >> thank you. a farewell fit for a king. brazil mourning the legendary soccer star pele. and the latest on the buffalo bills player damar hamlin who suffered a cardiac arrest and in critical condition after collapsing on the field last night.
