4:00 am
ueealthy blood pressure formula helps maintain healthy blood pressure with a custom blend of ingredients. i'm taking charge, with garlique. it is a mess in california. very dangerous. and you are looking at dramatic rescues happening in california. flash flooding, stranding drivers respect mudslide threats, prompting major evacuations there. >> terrifying. >> it is terrifying. and a lot to report on, all the situations happening there. this morning it is a dire one unfolding as 34 million people in california are under a flood
4:01 am
watch. what they are facing and we're live in vents ura county. and classified documents from the time joe biden was vice president discovered in his office. and bloody knife, $450 worth of cleaning supplies, and a husband now accused of misleading the police. ahead the new evidence that is now coming to light in the case of that missing massachusetts mom. and we begin though in california where rivers are overflowing, streets are flooding, boulders and trees are crashing down, at least 24 pe -- 14 people have died in the storms that have hit the state over and over again. and according to governor newsom, there is no end in sight. 90% of the state's residents are under a flood watch this morning, sand that is where dramatic rescue happened. and take a look, a firefighter on the roof of an suv as water
4:02 am
covers the hood splashing up to the top of the windshield. that firefighter eventually gets the 70-year-old out through the window and up the ladder to safety. and this is just one rescue. there have been hundreds of calls just like this. kyung lah is joining us live in ventura, california. what is it like for folks who have lived there for a long time? >> reporter: let me just give you a snapshot and perspective of where i am. and that should tell the larger story. i'm standing on the 101 freeway. even though it looks like this is a lake, this is a freeway. if you've been in california, you know this is multiple lanes of cars normally. people jammed up with their vehicles. it is a slushy muddy mess. and so this is one place where the freeway has had to be shut down. there are multiple spots up and down the northern corridor,
4:03 am
northern and southern corrcorri that is completely closed. so sections of california paralyzed this morning because of the intense amount of rain. what rescuers are having to deal with here, even though we're in a lull, it is this, this mud that is sticky. and so vehicles are getting stuck after the water goes away. there is a river that, you know, that i'm standing above the 101 freeway above the river, that have completely washed over freeways. that is what this state is dealing with this morning. what we are also seeing, our entire communities being evacuated. the community of montecito, it is extraordinary. people have been told to, quote, leave now. that is the message from the fire department. so very serious situation this morning here in california. >> as i understand it, record-breaking in some areas. and begin that, i wonder is it really safe for folks to leave
4:04 am
now >> you know, that was the warning that the fire department issued yesterday. what we aren't quite sure of is how serious that is right now in this lull. towards the end of last night, we were told that people needed to hunker down, that they needed to wait. because it is this, all this mud and sewage. the sewers here especially in santa barbara are completely full. so this is not a pleasant smell, and it is something that the beach communities will have to deal with, bacteria and, you know, that sort of infrastructure issue. but what the santa barbara fire department tells us, accept swift water rescues, 200 incidents, that people need to be very careful. because if they go into these conditions, they can get trapped and in some cases washed away.
4:05 am
and you are right, santa barbara got more rain in one day yesterday than they normally get in an average month in january. >> wow. in a day. kyung lah, thank you to you and your team for being out there in the middle of the 101 that looks like a lake. wow. also this morning, the justice department is now reviewing and weighing how to respond after president biden's attorneys discovered a, quote, small number of classified documents in his former office at washington think tank last fall. that has prompted the justice department to scrutinize it, determining how they are going to proceed. these documents we should note were discovered in a locked closet at the think tank. the white house says it is cooperating with the national archives and the justice department amid lingering questions about what was in the documents, what their level of classification is. republicans are weighing in on the matter comparing it to what happened to former president trump which is obviously a much
4:06 am
larger document discovery. but there are still major differences in the two. paula reid is live in washington. paula, this is obviously notable that it broke last night. what do we know about what was actually found and how the white house is responding? >> reporter: to fully understand the story, we have to go back a few years. 2017 to 2019, between the time biden is vice president, before he becomes president, he is an honorary professor at the university of pennsylvania and he has an office here in d.c. just a few months ago while he was president in november his team went to that office to clean it out and they say during that time they found fewer than a dozen class tified documents. they immediately notified the national archives and handed over the documents the next morning. the justice department was also notified. we don't know what the doubts were or how they ended up at this office. we know the u.s. attorney in chicago is now reviewing the matter and conducting a damage assessment. and that is interesting because as you know, the u.s. attorney
4:07 am
in chicago, he is one of only two trump appointed u.s. attorneys who are still serving in government. and the other one is the u.s. attorney in delaware who is overseeing the investigation of the president's son hunter biden. the biden team says they are fully cooperating with the archives and the justice department, but there really are a lot of questions here. one of the biggest questions for reporters, are these the only documents. is there anything else anywhere else. because as we saw with the investigation into clinton emails and classified information and with the trump mar-a-lago probe, what happened with these criminal investigations is they metastasize into political liabilities as more documents kept popping up. >> big questions about the legal aspect. clearly a political headache for the white house. the white house does have questions to answer. the doj as well. but there are big differences between what is happening here based on what we know now and what happened with the former president. you can layout what those differences are? >> reporter: you're right. and based on what the biden team
4:08 am
is telling us, the biden matter appears to be a much more simple straightforward matter than what is going on in mar-a-lago. first let's just start with the volume of materials. with the biden matter we're talking about less than a dozen documents versus the trump matter which is hundreds of documents. also this issue of cooperation. biden team says that they are fully cooperating. we know in the trump issue, we know that he refused to cooperate, they ignored the government multiple times and really only handed over a lot of materials when subpoenas were obtained. there was also the issue of what is being investigated. trump is also being investigated for obstruction but speaking with his legal team, they believe this biden matter helps their defense because they argue this is really an issue of o overclassification of government records. >> and i heard from white house officials overnight saying they believe there is a big difference here, and that is something that will play out. paula reid, thank you so much. let's discuss now. joining us is national security and security clearance law
4:09 am
expert bradley moss. he is a deputy executive director of the james madison project. bradley, good morning, and thank you. so you heard their discussion and you say these are two completely different cases. you can put that into context for us? what do you mean by that? >> sure, dosh don. and paula kind of teed it up for me. the distinction is not necessarily that there was the unauthorized retention of these documents. even a single document is a potential criminal issue. where the biden team has diverged here at least so far based on what we know from the reporting is the corporation in the absence of obstruction in which they have engaged compared to what donald trump did. remember donald trump dragged it out for months to comply with nara when the first batch were found, he found nara in terms of stuff being handled at 2k6dment j, and then the false sworn
4:10 am
declaration, et cetera, leading up to finally the search warrant execution in august. and that is a clear distinction from what the biden team did here. they found records and immediately contact nara, they turn them over the next morning. that is what you are supposed do. >> one started as an investigation asking for the documents back and the other one was discovered by the very person who had them, their own people, correct? that is a major distinction. >> that is also a separate distinction, yes, absolutely. and in the espionage act provision that lot of us have always been referencing and that was referenced in the search warrant for mar-a-lago, one of the key issues is failure to return the unauthorized retained documents when confronted and sought from the authorized government party. that is what happened with donald trump. they asked for them back. and he was ob strstructing and finding them on it. that never happened with joe biden. obviously if more documents come
4:11 am
out, if there is evidence of obstruction that does ultimately emerge in the biden case, that could be a different issue. but so far it is completely apples to oranges here. >> and so is there -- could he face any sort of consequences for having these documents even if he says he didn't know about t them. >>realistically, no. the government doesn't like to bring criminal cases usually. it is very complicated, they have to have all kinds of classified discovery. it is usually an administrative mechanism once they have secured the documents. joe biden is now the president. there is no administrative mechanism to take against him just like there never would have been one against donald trump while he was president. so the only way joe biden can really get in trouble here is if he or staff on his behalf obstruct the investigation. and so far there doesn't appear to be any evidence of that. >> bradley moss, thank you so much. new information this morning in the search for the missing mother in massachusetts.
4:12 am
she has three sons. investigators now say that bloody knife has been found in the basement of the home that ana walshe shares with her husband. authorities are also focusing on a transfer station in peabody, massachusetts digging through trash brought there last week. investigators have reportedly put crime scene tape outside and around dumpsters located in an apartment complex near the home of her mother-in-law. that is not all. sources tell cnn investigators are going through her husband's internet history and they found a search for, quote, how to dispose of a 115 pound woman's body. he has been charged with misleading investigators. so joining us now to talk about the new information is intelligence analyst john miller. john, you were reporting on this yesterday about those internet saern searches. and what have they found so far? he's only been charged with misleading investigators but it seems like there could be more on the way. >> the misleading investigators
4:13 am
charge is clearly a holding charge because where they are going with this case is building a circumstantial case for murder. you've got blood in the basement. you've got a bloody knife. you've got a shopping trip to buy drop cloths and tyvek suits. and you have all that the day after she mysteriously disappears. nobody like as murder case without a body. doesn't mean it hasn't been done before, but it offers a real challenge. so that transfer station in peabody where they arrived last night in the early evening and stayed for hours looking for the grid of where the trash that would have been coming from that area would be, that is going to be the key. and you know, they will spend days there if that is what it takes to see if they can recover a body or in this case more likely body parts. >> how hard is it without her
4:14 am
body? they have the bloody knife. they have the cleaning supply bills. but no body. >> so in new york city, we've had a number of successful prosecutions, very similar cases where people disappeared and they have been able to present to a jury, you know, you have in this case it would be the shopping trip, the blood recovered in the basement, the knife which is not only bloody but also broken. it kind of adds up to if not a murder, then what was going on. and the alternative explanations in those cases can be pretty challenging. >> due process of course, innocent until proven guilty. but in these cases we often find out that it is the significance other who is responsible for this. and if you look at all the evidence, not saying the guy did it, but this would be a law and order where it is ah-ha and someone else is being framed. but that is a lot of evidence pointing towards his direction. >> it is. and up a lyou have a lot going
4:15 am
the background. this couple moved five times in the last seven years. the husband is under house arrest for a guilty plea for selling fake andy warhol paintings for just under $100,000 on ebay. so there is a lot going on in the background before this even happens. >> the mother-in-law, why are they searching her apartment and places near her apartment? >> really good question. because company h cohasset is o sw sw swampscott is over here, but they taped off trash compass tors at the mother-in-law's apartment and their next stop was the refuge station. according to brian walshe, the day after his wife disappears, he goes out without his cellphone and not using a gps to go visit his mother and gets
4:16 am
lost, which is what he says according to the affidavit filed by police is what took him hours to make such a short trip. and then you see where that is going from here. so clearly the investigative theory is that rather than allegedly if he is behind this murder placed body parts in his own trash, he took them to another location where he would have access and they are looking to where that refuse would have been taken. >> was he still under house arrest? >> he is still under house arrest, but he has two windows, to pick off and drop off the three kids from school. >> and this was in one of those windows. >> right. and when we get back to that circumstantial kind of pileup in this case, he was in none of the places he said he was because they refused videos of the stores and he was in home depot buying drop cloths. >> thank you, john miller. appreciate it. this morning it is day two
4:17 am
of the nurses strike at two big new york city hospitals, more than 7,000 nurses frustrated with pay, with staffing who walked off the job. they say that they are being forced to work long hours in unsafe conditions and are unable to properly care for their pat patients. i take it they have not agreed to this mediation that the hospitals abtsnd the state wants that right? >> reporter: that's right. day two still no deal, the nurses are back on the picket line this morning just getting under way. there is a growing sense of frustration here though because mount sinai has yet to come back to the bargaining table with their union and they are growing frustrated about that. montefiore hospital did meet. but still no deal. and the sticking point is the ratio of patients to nurses. the union wants very specific language written into the
4:18 am
contract about how many patients can be taken care of by nurses. and they want it enforced. now, new york city and the hospital says that they have brought in traveling nurses and that there are no issues inside. however, we spoke to two nurses who were working inside mount sinai yesterday. and said that they have safety concerns for their patients because of the lack of traveling nurses that they have seen in the hospital that were supposed to be brought into make up for all the nurses that are out here. the two nurses saying that the ratios are extremely high, three nurses on one floor for 30 patients. it should be closer to one to four. but the nurses out here telling me this morning they would rather be inside taking care of their patients, but they are out here fighting for the very issue that they feel will protect their patients in the future. >> vanessa, thank you. new details emerging about

just look around. this digital age we're living in, it's pretty unbelievable. problem is, not everyone's fully living in it.
4:23 am
nobody should have to take a class or fill out a medical form on public wifi with a screen the size of your hand. home internet shouldn't be a luxury. everyone should have it and now a lot more people can. so let's go. the digital age is waiting. welcome back. new information about the teacher shot by a 6-year-old in school in new part new, virginia. police say the gun used was purchased legally by the child's mother and police also say that the boy took the gun from his home, put it in his backpack, brought it into the school. the child is being temporarily detained in a medical facility
4:24 am
where he is receiving treatment. local authorities are still trying to understand how could a 6-year-old know how to use a gun and shoot a teacher. >> how does a 6-year-old know how to use a firearm. i don't know that i could give you an adequate answer. i know that i have seen some video games out there that depict it pretty clearly. whether it is something that might be a toy at one point, i don't know how to answer that. it is just unprecedented. i don't know how to answer that question. >> that was chief of police steve drew newport news police. and i as a parent of a 6-year-old, chief, have the exact same question. how does this happen? >> you know, i think that we started asking that question right after we got the radio transmission and officers responded. at first we thought that there was an active shooter type situation going on in the school. and when we were able to determine what we had, i think that everybody took a step back
4:25 am
and asked that same question, how does that happen. we were able to determine what took place and how the firearm got there. and as the investigation unfolded. but the big question, you're right, and it is a question that we have throughout the department and even with our school system, how does a young manno how to use a firearm. >> i want to -- >> and i say young man. i should say a child. we're dealing with a 6-year-old and it is just unprecedented with what we have. >> i understand that. you did meet with the teacher, abigail zwerner. how is she doing? know she was shot in the hand and in her chest. >> yeah, i was able to meet with her family saturday afternoon. i thought that was important. they allowed me to go up and meet with her, so that was my first conversation with ms. zwerner. and it was just amazing to get to see her. her first question to me, how are my students.
4:26 am
and that took me back. that humanity. and then i got to see her again yesterday. i told you about this press conference and asked her for permission, that people had been praying for her and asking how she doing. and she did take a defensive wound as she moved back to shield herself and the firearm striking her in the hand and in her chest. but she is in improving and is in stable condition. >> and she managed to get all her kids out of that classroom even after she was shot. which says everything about her characters. but let's get to the law here. we were looking back at the statute in virginia and the law in virginia prohibits anyone from recklessly leaving a loaded unsecure firearm to endanger a child or allowing any child under the age of 12 to use a firearm without a parent's supervision. you said this child knew how to use this gun. so i wonder if the mother could face charges here.
4:27 am
>> i think that that is certainly a possibility. i talked to our commonwealth attorney here at length multiple times. and he reiterated to me -- and we're 3 1/2, 4 days coming up since last friday. as the case develops and the investigation goes on, there is a lot of different angles we still need to cover. we need to check with child protective services on any history, we need to check with the school system on any behavioral issues they may have. still 16, 17 children that we want to work a child psychologist. and when that is all compiled together and the fapgtshe acts the law supports, we'll make the decide if there is any charges coming toward the parents. >> and do you know what the child did directly after pulling the trigger? >> all i know at this point until we get some of the further interviews and i don't want to
4:28 am
say too much because there are still people to be interviewed, but you're right, when abigail walked out of that room and she was the last one out, she turned down that hallway and stopped, turned back to make sure they were safe, there was another school member that went into the room and that was able to restrain the child until officers and deputies were able to take custody of him and escort him out of the building. >> and do you have any clarity on how the child got it that gun? >> all we know at this point, there are still things we need to clear up, we have some information but we need to clear it up that the gun was legally purchased, it was at the residence, he was able to acquire it, he put it in his backpack and was driven to school by his mother later that morning. and then at some point it came out of his backpack and was concealed on him. >> chief, thank you very much for your time. and i'm so sorry that this is what you are having to confront.
4:29 am
all our thoughts with abigail zwerner. an amazing woman. >> a true hero. >> something he probably never thought he'd have to deal with. >> ever. >> yeah. also this morning, in a league where roughly 60% of the players are black, only lee black head coaches remain. what the fires of houston texans coach lovie smith after just one season says about the current state of the nfl. we'll talk about that next. there's always a fresh deal on the subway app. like this one! 50% off?! that deal's so good we don't even need an eight-time all-star tell you about it. wait what? get it before 's gone on the subway app! gronk speaking. great news gronk! you're going to be in the fanduel super bowl commercial.

4:34 am
smith after just one season. smith ended his run on a high note by pulling off a last minute comeback to cap off a 3-13-1 season on sunday. but the victory cost the team a chance to secure the first overall pick in this year's nfl draft which goes to the team with the league's worst record. so smith is the second black head coach fired in houston in as many years and the franchise let go david collie last year. and stephen a. smith says the texans have not been fair. >> the houston texans organization are an atrocity, they are an embarrassment. and as far as i'm concerned, if you are an african-american and and you entire to bee -- aspire to be head coach in the nfl, you should hope krond god that the houston texans never call you. >> joining us now is host of
4:35 am
game theory which kicks offseason two on hbo and hbo max next friday. i think stephen wakes up, it is good morning everybody! >> he's always great. >> but seriously, does he have a point about? because after lovie smith took this job, you said that you had no reason to believe that this would be lasting. did you see this coming? why did you say that? >> because the thing about it is, i'm not exactly sure who should take that job. you say no black person. i'm not going to recommend a white man take that job either. when lovie got it, word was around that they wering of thinking about hiring josh mcgowan whose only coaching experience was in high school and it looked really bad. and what happened lovie smith who has an impeccable resume wound up getting the job, but noob else
4:36 am
nobody else would give him a head coaching job. i think last two times they hired black dudes because largely no respected white man would take that job. they were down to the people who they felt like had to take the job. so that is how you get here. >> why would he take it, this was his last chance? why would lovie take this job? >> is it pays better than not being a head coach. when david collie got it, why would he take it? because it pays a lot better than being a receivers coach. >> they went 3-13. i mean, they had a disastrous season. and four searches in four years. so a who the other conversation about texans overall and what a disaster they are internally. but it does raise questions and put a spotlight on the diversity in the nfl. what that looks like. and so i wonder what the spotlight of the takeaways from there are given his firing. >> well, i think that it will be easier for us to talk about the
4:37 am
takeaways after we get through the hiring cycle. there are five jobs open and we'll see who winds up getting the jobs, what their backgrounds are and everything else. the thing that happens every year when coaching jobs come around, we effectively wind up having the same discussion every year about it because the problem is the same every single year about it. but rarely do the individual details matter that much. it is a big grand macro tracking issue that gets us to where we are with the lack of coaches of color in the nfl. can which is better i think now than it was maybe three years ago, probably not as good as it was about 15 years ago. it is only going to change as much as the owners of the franchise actually want to change and if they recognize it as a macro level problem. they did recognize that 20 years ago. i don't think that they recognize it as much now, but more than they did five or six years ago. >> it is a vicious circle. black owners, black coaches. it is all connected. >> i think the cycle is very similar to the voting rights act
4:38 am
cycle. which is you look up and you think things are good enough to where we don't need to pay that much attention to these safe guards we have in someplace. you can just throw it out. but next thing you know, everything is where it was before. same thing about affirmative action in education. so rooney rule should be called johnny cochran rule because they were afraid beincochran was goio take you to court. but once they put that rule in, you saw a lot of black coaches get hired. you saw some changes happen. then after a while gradually people stopped thinking that it is an issue. and then you look up and it is two. and then people say it is only two. oh, i guess we got to do something about that. but the individual owners don't necessarily want to have to be the one to do this, they want to hire the guy that they wanted to. i say all that to say unless somebody's going to take them to court, i don't feel like they will be truly dedicated to fixing the problem, but i do think that right now when you
4:39 am
look at the ranks, it does look better than than it did. >> and now only six minority coaches and one of them is interim. >> yes. >> what would you do? if the rooney rule is not working -- >> it is not the rooney rule that is not working. >> you talked about the owners. remember the jerry jones "washington post" piece. reporters were talking a lot and he told the "washington post," admitted that there is more that i could do to really lead change on this in the league. >> i think some steps have actually happened that the nfl doesn't quite get enough credit for. one, there are a lot more black coordinators in the nfl than there were before and that is typically the tracking position that gets you to head coach. i don't have the numbers, but there are disproportionately defensive coordinators which does not necessarily track to being head coach in the same way. but i think that we've seen improvements in the assistant rank. i don't want to say the league
4:40 am
has done absolutely nothing. but the thing that will have to improve and have to be -- i don't know if fix it the right word -- the people in charge have to think that it matters. my thought is they are really bad at hiring coaches. i'd turnover every stone if i could, whatever they have been doing before has not been working. get desperate enough to call the black and brown dudes. you have to realize maybe i'm not that good at finding good white coaches, maybe i need to try my hand over here it the black dudes. i might be better at that. i would give that run. right? if i'm not do g. atgood at doin way, we'll try anything. instead of texans say we'll hire black coaches when nobody else will take our job. >> and you know the first part is not going to happen. people like to hire people who they know. >> people do, but also sometimes people like to be the one that had that super duper bright idea and they were the one to figure it out. >> you always make us wiser. and you had this whole studio

its dismantling of pandemic restrictions. selina wang has more. >> reporter: i'm selina wang in beijing. satellite images show crowds at crematoriums and funeral homes as covid cases explode across the country. images taken in late december and early january and reviewed by cnn show lines of cars waiting outside of funeral homes in six chinese cities. images appear to show that funeral home in the outskirts has even instructed a brand parking area. this confirms what i've seen and it is consistent with chinese social media footage that shows overflowing funeral homes. when i visited crematoriums last month, i saw a long line of cars waiting to get in and yellow body bags piling up in metal crates and workers loading more in. i spoke to families who told me they were waiting for days to cremate their loved ones. all of this suggests that china's covid death toll is far higher than the government's touting of only 37 since
4:47 am
december 7th. a strikingly low number. the world health organization and u.s. have accused china of underrepresenting the severity of its current outbreak. >> selina wang, thank you. and moving on, it is not exactly a conversation that any parent really wants to have with their kids, but experts say if you haven't talked to your child about pornography, you probably need to maybe sooner than you think. a new study found most kids are seeing adult material online by the age of 12, but many of them are actually 10 or even younger. al thena jones is here to talk about this important discussion for parents to have with their kids. what is the new study showing about the ages of how soon kids are seeing this stuff in. >> it starts early and the biggest takeaway is how common this is. a lot of parents think, well, sure, some teens are accessing porn online, but not my
4:48 am
teenager. these numbers share a very different story suggesting it is a lot more common than a lot of parents think. pornography nowadays it is easier for kids to access than ever. >> they do see little bits of things popping up on kids computers at school. >> reporter: so easy it is now a regular part of many teens' everyday lives. >> the numbers are mind boggling. all right >> reporter: according to a report by common sense, a nonprofit focused on kids and families that found the majority of teens age 13 to 17 have seen pornography online either intentionally or accidently. >> i was pretty shocked to know that 73% of all teenagers in the united states are exposed to pornography online, it is everywhere. and kids are accessing it early. >> reporter: the report on teens and pornography based on the national survey of more than 1300 teens finding the average age kids first saw online
4:49 am
pornography was 12 years old, with some 15% seeing it by age ten or younger. about eight in ten teens who watch porn said they did so to learn how to have sex. with many saying they felt online porn provided helpful information about sex. but more than half said that they had seen porn that included depictions of rape, choking or someone in pain. making porn a growing concern for parents. obvious link is they are using it to determine sexual identity, how you become a sexual human being. and if that is what they think is okay, then, you know, this is what they are learning from watching it. >> reporter: michelle monitors her teen's internet searches and his text messages. and another issue is just how much porn teens are watching. 71% of those who said they watch it reported viewing it in the last week and nearly six in ten said they watched porn once a
4:50 am
week or more. and it is not just happening at home or in kids' spare time. 30% of teens who consumed porn reported being exposed to it during the school day, whether at school or while attending school remotely. sometimes even on a school issued device. jack west, a high school science teacher in the bay area, says schools have a role to play here. >> it is a multifaceted problem that requires a multifaceted approach. so parents, there is teachers, a community, and, yes, in schools i think we should be addressing this and health education or sex education seems like a good place for that to happen. >> reporter: beyond concerns about violence or aggressive portrayals of sex, only a third of teens reported seeing porn before engaging in sexual activity. >> we all have to be part of the solution here. >> reporter: john steyer hopes to report it as a national conversation. >> parents need to be more involved and more knowledgeable. schools have to recognize this
4:51 am
is actually happening in schools, and that it is part of sex education and behavioral education for young people. and quite frankly, the industry has got to be held accountable for the fact they are the gateway platforms for all that pornography to young people. >> and one more interesting point in this report, the vast majority of teens say they're watching porn at least in part to learn how to have sex. here's their problem. teens who watch porn a lot see a lot more violence and of those teens who watch porn three or more days in the past week, 80% said they have seen porn depicting raping, choking or someone in pain. and they're more likely than other teens to believe most people like to be hit during sex and it is okay, that it is safe to put one's hands around another person's throat during sex. >> i know it is uncomfortable, right, but so glad you did this because parents need to know what their kids are seeing. >> parents need to wake up and
4:52 am
have these conversations. >> athena jones, thank you for that. california, heavy rains and ferocious winds. we have a live report on the ground straight ahead. >> we're looking out the window and we saw the bridge go. and when that bridge went, there's no way out. neutrogena® hydro boost lightweighght. clinically proven.n. 48-hour hydration. for that healthy skin glow. neutrogena®. for people with skin. i'd like to thank our sponsor liberty mutual. they customize your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. contestantready? go! ly pay for what you need. jingleliberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.

"the washington post" calls this a moment of reckoning. pandemic pet owners realizing how much it costs to take care of them as work and social lives return to normal. joining us now, cnn business correspondent rahel solomon and

nathaniel myerson. >> i saw this coming, by the way. i'll tell my story. >> i want to hear your story now. >> we fostered a dog during the pandemic, the shelter called and said we're having trouble fostering dogs. we fostered a dog, ended up adopting the dog. then you couldn't get a dog because so many people wanted them. and the shelter said we're concerned that what's going to happen is when people realize how expensive it is, and you got to take care of dogs at work, they will be bringing the dogs back and they'll be abandoned. >> especially dogs because -- >> you got three. >> we have three. but we had two already and we fostered one and adopted a senior dog. >> i think that's unfortunate because what we know is that pets, especially dogs are the second most expensive pet to have. some estimates put it at $1500 initially to get a dog and another $1500 per year and anyone who has a dog, myself included, knows those costs can quickly add up between the vet bills, both routine and
4:58 am
emergency, the food bills, the food that you have to spend for them, the toys you have to spend. it is unfortunate that we're starting to see some people feeling like it is too much for them. >> it is a sign of financial distress when folks are bringing their pets back to the shelters. 7.3% more animals entered shelters last year than left them. this was the largest gap in four years. it is a major expense for families. and they're feeling it because of rising inflation and they have to make trade-offs. >> but now it is on shelters to bear the cost of this. >> exactly. on the one hand you should argue if you cannot take care of a pet, best thing to do is return it. you don't want to not be able to take care of it appropriately or adequately, but, yeah, the same sort of shelters that couldn't sort of get rid of them initially, they're having people bring them back now. >> that breaks my heart. >> send them to don lemon's house. >> i know. >> or mine. i love dogs.
4:59 am
five more. you've got three. >> do not get too many ideas. >> maybe. >> i have one, maybe two. they're naughty. if you go on and look at the shelters now and you see pictures of dogs coming in. >> we got ours from a shelter during covid. it has been the biggest joy. >> they're the best. they're the best. >> what are you talking about, willis? what? >> this is a little more fun than dogs. abercrombie and fitch is back. they reported strong results yesterday. the stock jumped 9%. and this is not the abercrombie we think of. there are no more shirtless male models, you go into the store you're not going to come out smelling like the fragrance, the fierce fragrance. >> can knock everybody out. >> nobody wants that. they rebranded. more inclusive marketing. models of all sizes. >> shirtless -- is that the old -- >> that's the old guys.
5:00 am
>> this rebrand, it worked. >> it did. it appears to be at least according to the most recent results where the company is increasing its guidance, essentially telling investors we expect to be doing better than we initially thought, and it is interesting because a lot of companies would like to rebrand. and some aren't able to do it successfully. i talked to the ceo rolls-royce yesterday about their successful rebrand and they have gone from a much older clientele to much younger clientele with an average age of 42 and part of it is just figuring out what people want and, look, abercrombie had a problematic past, sort of troublesome past, but they have been able to figure out what people want and they're more inclusive. >> anything else you want to share about abercrombie? >> not right now, don. >> putting me on the spot, don. >> documentary is so fascinating. >> it is. >> it is so obnoxious. she's mad at me. >> don putting me on the spot here. >> we'll find out during the break. thank you. top of the hour, let's
