wait and they said there was an anomaly and the rocket would not be able to reach orbit even though they tweeted it had reached orbit. this was a big blow, after hours stock trading started plummeting for the company. big blow to them. even bigger blow to the overall aspect of what we were looking for here, the idea of having launches from the u.k. and other places on this very mobile platform. the idea of a plane that could go around firing these rockets off into space. huge setback here. now can they recover? can they get back on it? we'll have to see. >> thank you for that. fisher-price is renouncing a recall of one of its baby sleepers after more infant deaths were reported. the company initially recalled rock and play in 2019 after 30 infant deaths were linked to the product. now the consumer products safety

3:02 am
documents from his time as vp were discovered in a private office. good morning, everyone. there you see us in this sort of pandemic era boxes, because we're in separate studios. we're having a little technical difficulty with our main studio this morning. so we'll be back in a moment, but it is good to see both of you. did you all make it? we were just rushed up the elevator. >> don documented it. so check your instagram later, folks. it is pretty funny. great technical team who got us on the air. >> so let's get to the show. the justice department now in possession of those materials that i spoke about. what we're learning about how they came to light and the key differences between the mar-a-lago case. also this morning rudy giuliani has been subpoenaed amid the special counsel's investigation into trump's fund raising after the efforts to overturn the 2020 election. also this -- a relentless and
3:03 am
powerful storm slamming intole california and leading to dramatic rescues. the threat is not over. see and hear what millions are up against. >> we'll get to all those stories and much more, but we start with president biden's lawyers finding a small number of classified documents during his time as vice president in his former private office, that happened last fall november they found it. the documents were discovered in a locked closet at the pen biden center. and biden appears to be cooperating with the national archives who referred the matter to the justice department for further investigation. republicans have seized on the revelations, but to be clear, there are distinctions between what we know about this and donald trump's hoarding of secret roecords at mar-a-lago. here is what the president told "60 minutes" back in september when asked about that. >> when you saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid
3:04 am
out on the floor at mar-a-lago, what did you think to yourself? looking at that image. >> how that could possibly happen. how anyone could be their responsible. >> so to start us off, we want to bring in now our senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid. how did this happen? >> this is unusual, and those materials were discovered by a lawyer for president biden on november 2. we've learned that they were in the process of closing out a washington, d.c. based office that biden used when he worked as an honorary professor from about 2017 to 2019. they say they uncovered fewer than a dozen classified documents at the office, but it is unclear what they pertain to or why they were in this office. the white house counsel's office notified the national archives, they took possession of the materials we're told the following morning. but merrick garland has signed a
3:05 am
u.s. attorney in chicago to conduct a damage assessment. and it is interesting that he is one of only two current trump holdover u.s. attorneys still serving. the other is a delaware u.s. attorney who is leading an investigation into the president's son hunter biden. in a statement biden's attorney says they are cooperating with the archives and the tendepartm of justice, but there is still a lot more to know about how the materials ended up there, how they were they are that these are the only ones and of course how secure were these documents while in this office. >> so speaking of differences, can you layout the differences between this and the mar-a-lago document issue? >> it is a great question. based on what biden's team is saying, they are is setting up some key differences from the trump case. first one is just the volume of materials that we're talking about. at this point the biden matter we're dealing with less than a dozen documents versus the hundreds in the trump case. another big difference is cooperation.
3:06 am
biden's lawyers say they immediately couldn'ted,cooperat turned over the documents and continue to cooperate. with trump, there were months of back and forth where he refused and ignored the government requests and really only handed over many of the documents when subpoenas were onbtained. and biden is not under investigation for potential obstruction. tru trump is. as well as potential violations of the espionage act. so mar-a-lago 35ers to be a much more complex investigation, more complex set of legal issues. but the biden matter only come to light in the past 24 hours and we'll continue to report it out. >> former president trump is also under investigation for possibly mishandling that classified information. this is going to be politicized i imagine it is already politicized by those on the right and former president. how is he reacting? >> the former president posted on his truth social platform
3:07 am
asking, quote, when is the fbi going to raid the many homes of joe biden perhaps even the white house. these documents were definitely not declassified. that term raid, that is a term that his legal team has been chastised by a federal judge for using because he is referring to a duly executed search warrant that was carried out over the summer after information was obtained that documents were being moved. but interesting that i spoke with a member of his legal team and they think the biden case helps their defense, saying this just illustrates the problem with overclassification in government, this they are watching the two cases very closely, looking for any differences in the handling of the two probes as they argue the justice department has made the mar-a-lago matter more contentious than necessary. but we'll see. again, we've been covering mar-a-lago for a lot longer and if it is one thing i've learned over the past seven years of covering various high profile officials who may or may not have mishandled classified
3:08 am
information, these things are never simple. >> we'll have to see how the investigation plays out. certainlieny an unforced error president biden. now to that investigation into former president trump and his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. not the documents investigation. cnn is now learning that his former attorney rudy giuliani has been subpoenaed in a grand jury investigation of trump's fundraising right after he lost to joe biden in november of 2020. the special counsel has asked giuliani to turn over records about the payments that he received around that time as he was filing several lawsuits on trump's behalf. katelyn polantz joining us with her reporting on this. what are we learning now that giuliani has been subpoenaed, what does it mean about where the investigation is going? >> what this shows is this is part of this notable investigative move of them looking at the criminal
3:09 am
conspiracy, the spkecial counsel's office looking into giuliani. he was a central player in to a lot of avenues that the january 6 investigation is looking at. one of the things that came out in reporting this, our understanding now is the prosecutors are prioritizing trying to get records from giuliani related to payments he would have received after the election as he was pushing these false election claims and as he was trying to work on donald trump's behalf as a lawyer taking these claims in to court even going to state legislatures. and one of the other things we learned is that there were other witnesses since giuliani received the subpoena more than a month ago that have already been asked about payments, disbursements from the save america pact which donald trump had set up after the election to raise money and to distribute it. and so what this shows is it is pretty serious financial investigation that is happening under special counsel's office right now around january 6. >> and one aspects of this, trump famously does not pay his
3:10 am
attorneys, something that has been a factor of the many investigations. did giuliani get paid throughout all of this? >> i know that you r reporting t the time was that trump was hemming and hawing about how he didn't want to pay rudy giuliani for any of the legal work he was doing after the election. giuliani actually asked the campaign to be paid $20,000 a day to do this work. they said no. that has come out in the house select committee investigation. but the records we've found show he made about $140,000 in two different companies for travel reimbursements, both of those coming from the trump campaign and related super pac. and this morning an update on what could have possibly happened to a missing massachusetts mother, her name is ana walshe. and prosecutors are revealing new clues including a bloody knife that they found in the basement of the home that she shares with her husband and three young children. and sources tell cnn investigators are going through
3:11 am
her husband's internet history and when they did that, they found a search for, quote, how to dispose of a 115 pound woman's body. her husband is charged with misleading investigators as police officers dig through trash and look for ana walshe's possible remains. jason carroll reports from outside of the family's home. >> reporter: brian walshe smiled for a brief moment as he was being transported to a massachusetts courthouse monday. >> brian, what do you want the public to know? >> reporter: he was acharged wih misleading police in connection with his wife's disappearance. he pleaded gnot guilty. his plea comes as more details in the case took a disturbing turn. law enforcement sources tell cnn investigators now suspect the 39-year-old mother of three may have been killed. after finding brian walshe's internet searches including the
3:12 am
phrase how to dispose of a 115 pound woman's body and how to dismember a body according to two law enforcement sources briefed on the investigation. prosecutors describe what they say police found after searching the walshe's home. >> blood was found in the basement area as well as a knife which also contained some blood. >> reporter: walshe's husband told police he last saw her on new year's day, but she wasn't reported missing until the 4th when her workplace said she didn't show up. >> during the time frame, he gave various statements that allowed him time to hide the evidence. >> reporter: and walshe was not forthcoming about his whereabouts following his wife's disappearance, this after investigators discovered purchases walshe made at home depot on january 2. >> he is on surveillance at that time purchasing about $450 worth of cleaning supplies, that would include mops, bucket, cloths, as
3:13 am
well as various kinds of tape. >> reporter: walshe's attorney says her client has been cooperating with investigators. >> mr. walshe has given several interview, we've consented to searches at his home, we've consented to searches at his property. >> reporter: walshe was already under house arrest after he pleaded guilty to a federal crime last year selling fake andy warhol art. >> jason carroll, thank you for that reporting. let's talk about what is happening in california, flooding, mudslides, debris floes, a dangerous storm battering california forcing thousands to evacuate and putting 34 million people under a flood watch. and the threat is not over. the storm is moving south from central california toward los angeles and ventura counties. at least 14 people have died in the storm over the past few weeks according to governor newsom. and we know that one driver died on a flooded roadway.
3:14 am
and a 5-year-old boy is missing after being swept away in the floodwaters. rescuers searched for the child for hours but even the search had to be suspended because the weather became too severe. crews answered hundreds of calls including this one, look at how high that fast moving water is on that suv right there. look at that. firefighters pulling a 70-year-old man out of the window to safety. and this is in monterey county, look at that, the man being pulled up to that helicopter says that he and his wife were just about to evacuate but before they could get out, their home became an island. >> we were looking out the window and we saw the bridge go. and when that bridge went, there is no way out. >> and in montecito, someone you may recognize, ellen degeneres becoming an impromptu weather
3:15 am
reporter. >> this was next to our house which never flows, ever. we've had people evacuated. >> a little bit dangerous there, ellen. and it is a reminder of what can happen when the ground is this saturated. that big tree just came crashing down. look at that right there. let's go to fresno now, boulders the size of cars came crashing down in a rock slide shutting down this highway. we have a reporter on the ground in california, that is coming up in our next hour. now to a first on cnn to new reporting that the biden administration is set to roll out new measures in a desperate bid to curb the surge of migrant crossings, including a one stop shop to help find information about legal pathways to come to the united states. in a new resource center in southern mexico where migrants
3:16 am
can get information about how to apply, let's go live to mexico city where there will be this summit with the leaders of canada and mexico. priscilla, how realistic is it that it will actually help change what is happening on the southern border? >> white house officials have reiterated that they think countries across the western help police hemisphere should share the responsibility and they will do it through a couple programs. there is a virtual portal that they plan to set up where migrants can apply for legal pathway not only to the united states but also to canada and mexico. and then, two, they will set up a center in the southern part of mexico and that is a transit location for a lot of migrants where they can also get information on how to apply to come to the u.s. or to canada. now, these are options that migrants may have, but it is up to them whether they use them.
3:17 am
and frankly, they are often urgently fleeing deteriorating conditions in their home countries. so it will be incumbent on these programs to meet those needs in the immediate term. senior official says it is an experiment and they are up against smugglers who feed misinformation to my grants. but the hope is that they can make it easy and accessible to migrants to apply for legal pathways. >> and also president biden actually spoke to the brazilian president on the phone. former president of brazil still in a florida hospital. how did that call go and what did the white house make a point of saying as they read out that call to reporters? >> biden expressed unwavering support for the president of brazil and he also invited him to the white house, an
3:18 am
invitation that the president accepted. and biden as you mentioned did talk to lula, he said that he provided that unwavering support, condemned the violence and expect this to be another issue that comes up today when the three leaders meet. >> and a point of saying president lula won that election. priscilla alvarez, thank you for the great reporting. good news to share with you this morning. he is back in buffalo getting stronger, making amazing progress. a week ago damar hamlin's fate was very uncertain. he went into cardiac arrest on the field during monday night football, but now he has been released from the hospital in cincinnati to continue his recovery in buffalo. doctors say his progress is beating their expectations. >> continuing to regain strength. certainly on what we consider a very normal to to even accelerated trajectory. from the life-threatening event that he underwent. but is making great progress. you watch the game yesterday when the opening kickoff was run
3:19 am
back, he jumped up and down, got out of his chair, set i think every alarm off in the icu in the process. but he was fine. just appropriate reaction to a very exciting play. >> jumping up and down. can you believe it. >> doctors say it is still too early to say what caused his cardiac arrest last week. more tests are needed for that. also this morning, there was maybe a football game last night? i didn't watch anything. but georgia fans are celebrating because they have just won their second straight national champ championship. >> the play action. bennett looks down the middle. and wide open, touchdown dogs. >> unfortunately for tcu fans, it wasn't even really a game. bulldogs crushed tcu 65-7. it is the first time the team has won back to back national
3:20 am
titles since the crimson tide did it in 2011 and 2012. but what a game that was. >> sorry. sorry. sorry. there is always next year. >> yeah. we'll see. next year hopefully we'll be there. it was funny watching a year ago we were actually at the game, i took my dad. and now of course this year we were watching it from home. >> you can't win all of them. you win a lot of them. but you can't win all of them. >> we'd like to win most of them though. >> yeah, this morning we'd just like to get back to our studios. we're working on that. but next, recently returned disney ceo bob iger with a message for employees that you have to go back to work, like the office. and many of us live to eat. a new study shows you how to eat to live longer. details next. she's feeling the power of listerine. he's feeling it.

3:24 am
i really tried sleeping with it, everybody. now i sleep with inspire. inspire? no mask? no hose? just sleep. learn more, and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com he . disney ceo bob iger telling employees they must work from the office four days per week starting in march. the pandemic pandemic hybrid schedule is about to be a thing of the past. christine romans is joining us with the details. so back to the office. this was an internal memo? >> it was.
3:25 am
and by march 1. let me read to you what bob iger, who is the new and the old ceo of disney, had to say. he is back after retirement to try to turn this company around. he said as you've heard me say many times, creativity is the heart and soul of who we are and what we do at disney. and in a creative businesslike ours, nothing can replace the ability to connect, observe and create with peers that comes from being physically together. so he wants people in the office four days a week starting march 1. you've heard other companies move in this direction. paycom, van guard saying that the hybrid schedule of three days a week, not everybody was doing that, they want everybody in pooe tthree days a week. the four days a week is a little more than what other companies have settled on. and i think it shows you what the conversation between bosses, the tension between bosses and workers will be in 2023 as they try to get to a more normal
3:26 am
schedule of in-person work. you can see the company's stock is down about 40%. so bob iger trying to turn this thing around. but here is the tension, the push/pull. you have ceos like bob iger, david sole mondayomon and other want to get back to more pre-pandemic work balance, but you have a lot of people who say their commute is not efficient, in-office work is not proceed tukts difference for them, their life works better with three days in the office and two dies at home. so we'll see how the -- who has the leverage in 2023. >> it is interesting because i tend to agree, but people say three days is enough. i like being in the office. thank you, christine. now we're also back in the studio. and if you were about to eat breakfast this morning, should you listen to this, because what you choose to eat might help you live longer. there is a new study just released and that details what kind of eating patterns can
3:27 am
decrease your risk for serious diseases. and our medical correspondent is here to share the results of the study. i'm assuming it is not don and i's favorite food which is chick-fil-a chick-fil-a, taco bell. so what is it that does help you live longer? >> so this is really an interesting study. it was one of the largest and longest studies to look at basically what types of dietary patterns might be associated with a decreased risk of dying. and so we keep emphasizing this, but what you put in your mouth actually matters. so they looked at around 75,000 women, 44,000 men, they followed them for about 36 years. gave them a food questionnaire every couple years and they found that those who had the highest adherence to four different healthy dietary eating patterns could have up to a 20% lower risk of dying. they also found a lower risk of dying for cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative disease and
3:28 am
respiratory disease. so really just more and more information. we talk about it a lot, about the power of nutrition. >> do you have the yess and nos? so should we definitely not -- >> in general, one of the great things about the study, it highlights the fact that there is flexibility. there is not a one size fits all approach. really what you want to find is something that will be sustainable for you forever. and this looked at four different dietary eating patterns, but they all have similar things. fruits, vegetables, legumes, less saturated fat, processed foot, so more plant based, less meat, less red meat. but in general, again, i think that we just need to emphasize that it is never too late to start. so i see a lot of patients who are older, how am i going to change how i eat. it is did conscious decision making. never too early to start. i have young children. we talk about what a healthy
3:29 am
plate looks like, how to read nutrition labels. and also just to emphasize that we really need more nutrition training. medical school, in schools, nutrition needs to be a part of our practice. it is so important. >> great information. and also as everyone is doing their new year's resolutions. doctor, thank you so much for sharing that with us. and big news straight ahead if you are worried about paying off those student loans. and also there is really significant news coming out of russia's war in ukraine involving moscow's struggles on the battlefield. details next. no, not “let me get the pancakes.” or “i'll have all the bacon.” we're talking about... rooty tooty fresh 'n fruity i'm going to get the rooty toototy fresh 'n fruity the rooty tooty fresh 'n fruity i think i'm gogoing to have the rooty tooty fresh 'n fruity yep, it's back. for a limited time. the six dollar rooty tooty fresh 'n fruity combo. 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, and 2 fruit topped pancakes. off those student loans. only from ihop. download the app and earn free food with every order.

just into cnn, a new proposal this morning from the biden administration designed to make student loans more affordable. it includes raising the threshold for repayments, it comes as the broader loan forgiveness announced by the president in august remains tied inin court. let's go to the details. who would get help with the new plan? >> it mainly targets low and
3:34 am
middle income borrower, people enrolled in the loan repayment plan tied specifically to income. and the department of education estimates that it roughly 8 million people this could affect. people could see potentially huge savings, monthly payments cut in half or even potentially paused. the proposal revises the existing proposal, it sets a hire thr higher threshold for repayment. and there is an increase from the current threshold at $24,000. and for those making above the income threshold, they could still see some savings too. the undergraduate borrowers above that threshold will be capped at 5% of their income. that is half of the current 10%. and the department of education would also stop charging monthly, unpaid monthly interest and would shorten the time it takes for some smaller loans to be forgiven. this would apply to current and future borrowers, but importantly there is no time
3:35 am
line yet for when it would go into effect. this is a regulatory change. if it issed s ad if it issed opted, there could relief later this year. and this morning russian artillery fire is down as much as 75% from the wartime high. it may be a sign of prolonged and brutal battle has had a significant affect on russia's stockpile and they may be regrouping and trying to pinpoint where ukraine is going to launch its next major offensive. oren liebermann is joining us. and it is interesting timing that will comes as russia had called for the ceasefire. >> reporter: absolutely. a ceasefire the u.s. believes was not intentional -- or, rather, not a real desire for stoppage to the fight. it was vladimir putin trying to appeal to the christian faith fall and trying to show that was ukraine violating the ceasefire.
3:36 am
aside from that, this is an indication with this dramatic decline in artillery fire that something is clearly changed within the way russia is fighting this war. the question is what. from the wartime high of 20,000 artillery rounds per day down to about 5,000 rounds per day. russian military doctrine, the way russia fights its wars, calls for a barrage of artillery fire and then essentially ground troops go if and mop up what is left. so what y. this significant difference and that is what the u.s. is trying to figure out. they have talked for a long time about a shortage in russian precision weapons. less so about the conventional just like artillery fire. maybe the u.s. officials tell us this is an indication that russia is beginning to run low on its vast stores of artillery after ten months of fighting and with no end in sight. ukrainian officials say look, we've also hit a number of russian weapons depots. so this may be making a dent or they may be regrouping for

seattle public schools which is the largest school district in washington state is suing major social media companies behind tiktok, instagram, facebook, youtube and snapchat over their impact on youth's mental health. the school district claims that social media giants violated washington's public nuisance law and has, quote, been a substantial factor in causing a youth mental health crisis with
3:42 am
higher and hire pro high propor suffering from mental health. and requiring significantly greater and longer term funding to address the issues that have been caused they say by social media use. in a statement sent to cnn, a meta spokesperson responded saying that it continues to pour resources into ensuring that young users are safe online with tools to support teens and families. including letting parents limit the amount of time that their teenagers spend on instagram and also age verification technology that helps teens have age appropriate experiences. the other companies have not yet immediately responded to the requests for comment. but joining us now to talk about this major lawsuit are two parents and two amazing reports, and this is really remarkable in the sense of they say that they want damages here, they want them to stop creating the public nuisance, a award damages and pay for prevention education and
3:43 am
treatment for the harm they say is being caused by these companies. >> i was reporting over the summer in los angeles, we were talking to the superintendent there, we brought in some students to ask any question they wanted. and the first question they asked was can we get more mental health counseling and resources in our school. so students are very much aware of their needs. they have different ideas about mental health and i think some of us around the table grew up with, and they are expecting some assume. and it is interesting when you sue, sometimes you can get information, right? you see it with lawsuits all the time. you can compel executives to speak, you can get papers and documents out, you can bring things into the limelight. and i think that that is something that this school system is trying to do. >> you have two teens. >> uh-huh. >> we heard that. >> the discussion in our house now, our kids are 4 and 6, my husband is like they are never using these.
3:44 am
and i'm on board with him, but that is not realistic. you are confronting the age where they do use them. >> especially for my 16-year-old who is a sophomore in high school, in high school as opposed to my middle schooler where they are not allowed to have their phones during the day, everybody has a device because everything is done online, through google classroom or whatever it might be, but all these apps that they need for schedule, apps, this is happeng on their phone so they have their phones throughout the day. and they text, but they also communicate through snapchat, they communicate through tiktok. and i love it when my son sends me a cute cat or dog video coming through tiktok, but there is always a moment where i think, oh, wait, but he's on tiktok. hard part i think is limiting that time. and what the school district is pointing to, the more time we all spend on social media, it feels like it eats away at your brain and how do you -- >> and your heart. >> and it is leading to these
3:45 am
issues which it is phenomenal that kids feel so empowered to say hey, i need these resources. >> and one thing interesting in the lawsuit suit, trying to understand the crux of the legal argument, it is essential 230. it is a law from the '90s that basically gives a free pass to social media companies and said you are not the publisher of the content, you didn't think of it, you didn't create it, you are just a platform for it so you are not liable for it. this is the first of its kind lawsuit. >> and in reading the lawsuit, we noticed they are not saying that this would be in violation of this clause you are talking about in the communications decency act. they are saying that these companies are directly responsible because of the way that they promote it, the way allegeal go rhythms work. and the other thing i want to mention, a few years back when the so-called facebook papers came outrhythms work. and the other thing i want to mention, a few years back when the so-called facebook papers came out they did have
3:46 am
documentation showing that instagram executives for example knew that there was harm especially to young women. but that they didn't do anything about it. so this is -- i suspect something like this will come up in this suit. >> and that is what stood out, that when we heard in 2021 talking about that they knew, but she was basically saying they chose profit over what they were seeing what instagram was doing. and they are saying it is the way that you are delivering these apps to children and the way that you are sucking them in basically getting them addicted to them, that is where in terms of the lawsuit, you are -- it is a public nuisance violation. >> this is not just this seems bad, they know it is bad sflp they are targeting them because they want them to stay on longer. and social media is so new, we haven't figured out as you know the long term fegteffects and l and all of that. >> i know he's right, but how do you implement that. >> you do what our parents did.
3:47 am
but you know, ed has an iphone and my mom would say, well, if ed jumps off a bridge, are you going to do it? isn't it sort of up to the parents to say no? >> i think you're right, it is up to the parents. and i think it is every family's individual decision. do i limit the amount of time my kids are on their phones? i have limitations on their phones. but the reality is my kids know how to get around them and most kids do too. and there is a big push for year, when my orlando son was probably in fourth or fifth grade, this wait until eighth campaign, it is trying to encourage parents to wait until kids are in eighth grade to give them a smartphone. i have to say my friends who did it, it didn't work because every other kid has a smartphone. so remember what it is like to try to text on a flip phone? you are trying to find the letters. and kids are unfortunately left out because the way that kids communicate is through their smartphones, whether it is text or something else. >> you go with that ear phone
3:48 am
for a week and you're like i'm still in bed. so obviously people get -- >> it is not like all over social -- >> i'm over it. >> oh, really? >> yeah. it is what it is. i think that we need it for what we do. i think it is very important. but i mean, i wish someone would tell me -- >> but asking kids do behaviors that parents themselves cannot implement. and finally remember with cigarettes, after those lawsuits came out, the cigarette companies actually put into a fund and that fund went to smoking litigation programs especially with youth. i don't think that this accident is also seeking damages in order to mitigate what they perceive to be the damage. >> you can imagine though if someone said you can't use it for a week, you'd be like thank you or it is nap time. yay! >> you'd be having withdrawals. i have younger siblings that are always on their phones. they don't text, they use snapchat to talk to their
