very busy news day here. we're going to start, though, with that massive and dangerous winter storm barrelling east after unleashing a powerful tornado near houston. no reported deaths but local officials are calling the destruction catastrophic. the tornado flattened buildings and homes. it was so powerful, it picked up rvs and threw them. we're hearing harrowing stories from survivors. >> we just all ran to the restrooms and just watched the whole building fall. luckily the restrooms didn't fall. that was the only thing that kept us alive. i don't get scared much but that's probably the scariest thing i have been through in my whole life. >> she got the notice on her phone, looked at it, said a tornado hit the house. let's see what's going on, and we round the corner and the house is gone, so the whole top section o. house was completely ruined, so it's toast. the house will be torn down now, so, kind of hard to take, but hey, we're alive. that's the main thing. >> you want to see how dangerous it is, look at your screen right

now, this is a gas line on fire in the middle of all the wreckage. emergency responders say they were slammed with 911 calls for d gas leaks and building collapses. >> we have a all hands on deck right now. all neighborhoods not just this nei neighborhood. >> my 25 years here, this is probably the worst damage ooi'v seen. just catastrophic. >> cnn's rosa flores on the ground in pasadena, texas. you have been seeing the damage there. tell us about it, please, rosa. >> reporter: there were so many intense moments. that's what the people here say. and we're on the path of that destruction. i want you to look over my shoulder because what you're seeing here is some of the downed power lines at this height of this storm. you can see that some of the power poles were snapped like toothpicks. at the height of this storm,

about 100,000 customers were without power. if you look beyond these power lines, you'll see there's a mangled mess back there. that's actually a gym. the owner of that gym telling khou, a cnn affiliate, that at the time of this storm, there were four people that were inside the gym. they were actually exercising, and they all ran to the bathroom, and the owner described just the chaos, the loud noise, of just the metal, and as you might imagine. t there's a lot of equipment, a lot of stuff inside a gym, all of that was moving around. very intense moments. the owner, of course, said, yes, this is a loss of property. don, he is counting his blessings because he and all of the other patrons inside are safe this morning, and that's the big take away here is local officials saying thank goodness that nobody died. >> thank goodness. rosa, thank you so much. 70 million people under winter weather alerts all across

the country this morning. which areas are going to be impacted the most. let's bring in meteorologist chad myers, what are we looking at. >> the snow got on tree limbs and brought power lines down. 150,000 customers without power in that area, and it's still snowing toward the east and northeast. indianapolis up toward toledo. that will be the middle of the cone, the heaviest snowfall, the intense bulls eye of where the snow is falling now, and where it will continue to fall throughout the day. we have snow in detroit, in cleveland, in pittsburgh. very difficult to travel around pittsburgh and those hills with snow coming down at this rate, and the snow continues to come down. snow in chicago. had a picture out of chicago earlier of the snow coming down in downtown. it's coming down harder right now than it has for much of the day. so that's what we're going to be seeing. this heavy snow piling up, 1 inch on top of another, and many areas from indianapolis, about 5 to 6, right through

toledo, probably closer to 8 and on up into ontario and quebec. on the other side, on the tornado side, the severe weather side, we have had 14 tornadoes yesterday, 2 this morning, 16 total. now we're still adding up that damage, and there are more storms that are going to try convince, just spin across the gulf coast, and move on shore, either with a water spout or even some tornado warnings are likely today. farther to the north, we will see the rain into new york city. we'll see the snow to the north, and that's what we expect for the rest of the day. guys. >> a lot of people have to brace themselves. ch chad, thank you very much. we have significant breaking news in the war on ukraine. the german government has officially announced it will deliver leopard 2 tanks to ukraine after weeks of pressure from allies. this comes after two officials tell cnn the united states is also finalizing plans to send about 30 abrams tanks to ukraine as well. russia has slowed to destroy any military equipment that is supplied to ukraine.

the british prime minister, rishi sunak calling it the right decision by nato allies. he tweeted together we are accelerating our efforts to ensure ukraine wins this war and secures a lasting peace. coming up, we'll be joined by ric richard haas, a veteran diplomat. in the meantime, gavin newsom calling out republicans for blocking gun safety laws after three mass shootings in thiz his state in as many days, saying republican obstruction is contributing to the country's gun crisis. >> we need the federal government to do its job. this is on everybody. we've chosen this. this is our decision to live in these conditions. it doesn't exist anywhere else in the world, and we have chosen this. we've accepted this. we can sit there and say thoughts and prayers or we can look in the mirror and say this is the price, i guess, of

whatever, freedom, fill in the blank, this is the price, f freedom from what, to have your kid do six or seven drills to hide under the desk, as opposed to ftwo or three. having complete vulnerability, dancing with the loved one on new year's eve. lunar new year, what kind of freedom is that. >> let's get to kyung lah for cnn this morning. good morning to you. i want to talk about the shooting at half moon bay. the gunman accused of killing seven people there, expected to be arraigned today. take us through that, please. >> reporter: well, the arraignment is expected later this afternoon. eastern time, 4:30 eastern time, don, and we expect to learn much more about the details, the impact charges he may be facing. the district attorney has indicated it will involve the homicide of these people who were murdered at this mushroom

farm. what we know from investigators at this point is he didn't just target these victims, he pursued them according to what the authorities are telling us, and as far as the connection between all of them, don and poppy, it is that they simply worked together. he is a former employee of the mushroom farm. >> you are in monterey park, california, it is stunning that we're talking about three mass shootings in california in as in days. you're in monterey park, the site of the other mass shooting, and there are new questions about how long it took police, right right, to warn the community when that gunman was still at large after the first shooting at the first dance hall. what are the questions that need to be answered on that this morning? >> reporter: the real question that you're talking about, poppy is a five hour gap when the shooting happened to when the public was notified in a news conference with authorities that there was a mass shooter on the loose. it took five hours for the public to be notified.

there weren't shut downs immediately. that's a concern here. the sheriff did say at a news conference on monday that the information was handled judiciously, strategically, and he believe is it paid off. there are significant questions. >> cue yokyung lah, thank you fr continued reporting on this. >> another one, another batch of classified documents has been found this time in the home of former vice president mike pence, a dozen documents discovered in his home by his lawyer. those documents have been returned to the fbi, and a letter to the national archives from pence's attorney says the former vice president was quote unaware of the sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence. it added that pence quote, understands the high importance of protecting sensitive documents and classified information and stands ready and willing to cooperate with the national archives. cnn special correspondent jamie

g gangel, late night was having a field day but it's not funny. these are classified documents with potentially very serious national security implications. what more do you know about how they were found? >> we have been joking about everyone is now checking their sock drawer. as you say, this should not have happened. these are marked documents t. appears that the classified documents in the case of former vice president mike pence were packed up from the vice president's residence at the time. so that was a very different system from what they were doing at the white house. i'm told by sources involved with presidential papers and vice presidential papers, they did a rigorous process, but perhaps what happened at the residence slipped through.

there are four boxes that they had taken with them. first it was moved to a temporary house in virginia. then it was moved to the house in indiana. we're told the boxes were taped up, that they had never been gone through, but they weren't kept in a secure location. when they discovered the roughly 12 classified documents, they did take those out and put them in a safe until the fbi came and picked them up. >> mike pence was asked about documents from david muir, and basically said, no, i don't have any documents, i didn't take any documents, and, you know, that no one should have documents, so how does this square up with what he told david muir in that interview? >> it wasn't just david muir. he was out on book tour, he was asked this question over and over and he repeatedly said that he didn't take them. i think, in this case, it was inadvertent, it was an honest mistake. he did not think he had taken

them. that said, what it shows is that even someone who had a rigorous process, it doesn't always work. he did say in one interview that his staff had searched. i asked about that this morning. and was told that what they were talking about was originally when they left the white house, that search happened because how did they then miss these four boxes. >> yeah, right. great reporting, jamie. really stunning, but stay with us, as we bring back in mj lee. i wonder how the biden white house feels about it this morning. >> yeah, you know, i can tell you the white house is certainly not doing some kind of public victory dance. but at the same time, when the pence news broke yesterday, i can tell you that there was sort of this sense of quiet relief. because keep in mind, the biden white house has really been under siege for the last couple of weeks.

ever since we learned about the first batch of classified documents. you know, getting off all of these questions about how those documents possibly ended up in biden's office, in biden's personal home. why the nature of their disclosures have been so drip, drip, drip, in nature, and then of course the appointment of the special counsel, and yesterday when the pence news broke, there was sort of this sense that the temperature could potentially come down a little bit for president biden because this now becomes not only just a biden focused story, and i think there are essentially two hopes right now from the biden white house and biden allies. one is just this overall emphasis that it wasn't just biden's former aides who made the mistake of packing up boxes and having classified documents end up where they shouldn't have. and second is just emphasizing what they have been trying to do all along, and that is to say it's less sort of the issue of

where the documents ended up and mistakes were made, but more about what these aids and lawyers did once they discovered the documents and they have really been trying to press the case all along that, look, as soon as these lawyers discover these documents, they did the right thing by immediately going to the national archives, so they're really hoping that on both of those fronts, the pence issue can help them sort of make that case. >> it's interesting. it's going to be interesting to see. are they going to, you know, appoint another special counsel. they're going to run out of special counsels. who knows how many other people, you know, have classified documents in their possession. thank you, jamie. thank you, mj. appreciate that. you can read more of jamie's reporting on the pence documents. go to cnn.com. >> there's a whole interesting time line of how this unfolded. justin bieber, selling catalogs, how much he got for them. a democratic congressman

standing by guyallego, or cinem. leaders from both parties addressing his run. >> as to whether or not she chooses to run again is really her decision, and i think it's a big dilemma for the senate democratic majority to decide whether to support her or to support somebody running on the democratic ticket. >> senator sinema is an excellent congress member and senate member and she has done a lot of good things here but it's much too early to make a decision. >> joining me now, democratic congressman ruben gallego of arizona, thank you, congressman. i appreciate you joining us. why do it, why put your party and yourself in this position? >> well, it's not about myself, it's about the people of arizona, and they have not gotten good service from senator sinema. >> why do you believe, because there are a number of cincinnati democrats who have been reluctant to embrace your candidacy. are you worried about that?

are you worried about the reluctance on your party? >> i have to focus on the voters of arizona, the people i have known forever and have worked for, the people i want to go talk to this week starting in tucson, ending up in kwwhite river, arizona. those are the people that matter. >> you would prefer that they supported you? >> of course, but look, let's be honest. it's a sticky situation. you have a lot of members that have known each other forever, it's an insider's club. they don't want to start messing around with their friends. we have time, at the end of the day, what matters is i'm going to win because the voters of arizona want me. >> have you discussed your candidacy with schumer or larry peters, they run the senate democratic campaign committee. what do they tell you? >> we will always have open lines of communication. we're not talking about this campaign, not at this point. we are not afraid to talk to anybody, and we'll be reaching out to them and reaching out to

all other political organizations so they know what a strong campaign we're running. >> the reason i'm asking you about the concerns from democrats is because they are defending at least as you know, 23 seats in 2024, and arizona voters are almost evenly split three ways between democrats, republicans, and independents. and i just wonder, you know, they favor moderate candidates, by the way, could your candidacy hand the seat to the gop? >> no, actually, my candidacy is probably the only thing that's going to save the seat from the gop. kyrsten sinema can't win arizona anymore. when you say the votes are split in a third, sinema is pulling 14%. she has lost trust of everybody, and when's there no democrat running she's losing to republicans by 5 points. in d.c. land, and lala la land she's not doing well. there's a reason i'm running. there's a reason i have been able to raise more than a million dollars in less than 24

hours, through 27,000 individual donors. she's no longer popular, and she's going to give power back to republicans because she's unpopular with everybody in arizona. >> can we put the last graphic up, i want people to see the polling. there it is. so as an independent, i think, you know, she is facing political head winds, which caused her to make some of her recent decisions. i'm wondering -- >> that's not true. mark kelly did not make those recent decisions. mark kelly ran as a strong democrat and made some, you know, great decisions, and ended up having one of the largest victories as a senate candidate. >> i'm talking about her. not mark kelly. she's facing political head winds, is what i'm saying. >> absolutely. i apologize. yeah, she's running as an independent because she can't win a primary. she's no longer popular with anybody. >> have you spoken to her? >> no, but doesn't really matter, but nobody in arizona has spoken to her in the last

four years. this is why she is where she is. she hasn't had a town hall in a minimum of three years, at least where we're counting, i'm trying to figure out around covid, you know, she doesn't have meetings with people unless there's ch checks involved. she doesn't have anything unscripted. we hardly see her in arizona. she has cut off everybody unless you are a big donor, so, again, i don't really matter in terms of having to speak to her. what matters is she doesn't speak to arizonians anymore. >> what are you saying? are you saying this is just about donor? what are you saying, congressman? >> the values of arizona do not match with kyrsten sinema. she carries more about donors, what lobbyists think, what d.c. thinks because she doesn't talk to arizonians anymore. she doesn't fight for us anymore. she's more likely to fight for pharmaceutical companies and seniors that have to drive to mexico to get cheap drug applies. she's more likely to fight for

private equity managers, hedge fund managers to make sure they keep their tax cut instead of trying to make sure that people keep their tax credit. >> it sounds like you're saying that she is -- it sounds like you're saying, correct me if i'm wrong, that she's bought and paid for by special interests, she's in it for herself and the money. that's why i said, what are you saying here? >> i mean, exactly that. i don't think she's in it for the money for herself. i think she's actually a very upright person when it comes to her personal finances, but she has sold out to big, you know, interests to do their bidding, do the bidding of every day arizonians. >> so listen, i'm interested in what you have to say about this. last week at davos, sinema and joe manchin were on a panel. blocked the decision for hill buster reform, and high fived manchin over their efforts to block it. watch this. >> while some would say that there were reluctant folks

working in congress in the last two years, i would actually say that that was the basis for the productivity for some incredible achievements that made a difference for the american people in the last two years. >> we still don't agree on getting rid of the filibuster, correct? >> what do you make of that moment, sir? >> well, that moment was during mlk weekend which is a very important weekend in arizona because for many years, we did not actually have martin luther king weekend, the fact that she's high fiving killing the filibuster on mlk weekend when she began has skipped, and killing the john lewis voting rights act, someone she claims was her friend and mentor, tells you everything about her. she doesn't represent anything. she's about holding power for those who have power. at the end of the day, it's not about trying to work for the people of arizona, it's trying to work for the people that have, you know, interests, whether it's in davos or wall street or whether it's in washington, d.c.

>> i have to ask you about this. what's going on in washington? i'm sure you've heard about the new house speaker kevin mccarthy last night announcing that he is keeping or kicking two democrats off the intelligence committee or keeping them off the intelligence committee as well, adam schiff, erik swalwell, what do you think of that? >> this is just like grievance politics that mccarthy is executing right now. he's doing it to basically keep power because i know his members want him to. we know that eric swalwell and schiff have not done anything incorrectly. the fbi has stated that swalwell has been cleared, did not do anything at all, including, you know, paul ryan and different speakers before mccarthy who all have said, there's been nothing incorrectly. so at one point this will obviously change. i think mccarthy is going to look like a fool, but he's only doing this to make sure he can hold power, not because these two are somehow a threat o national security.

we need them on the committees because they are bright. they know what they're doing. they have the context, instead he's doing it to appease the marjorie t marjorie taylor greenses --. >> classified documents are a big issue, have have you made sure you don't have? >> i'm a millennial, i don't do paper. when it comes to classified information, i read it in a skiff and when i leave that skiff, everything i leave is there. so i'm not concerned about it. i understand what's happening with vice president pence and the president. to me it seems like it's very inadvertent. i'm glad they're cooperating. that's what you should do when you come to this point. there is a difference between them two and former president trump. what he is doing was illegal, should continue to be illegal, and he should be held to justice for that. >> congressman, thank you for your time. have a great day.

>> thank you. >> it would be great to have senator sinema on as well. she's welcome any day. >> we'd love to have you. this morning's numbers, 200 million. and new details about jeremy renner's snowplow accident. what we learned from the sheriffs report, next. to gretta. to gabby. to grandma. then, gertrude found something for it. delsym. and now what's going aroundd is 12-hour cough relief. and the giggles. and the great dane pup. and grandma's gluten-free gooseberry pie. which is actually pretty great. the family that takes delsym together, feels better together. and try new delsym no mess vapor roll-on for cough.

new details released in the snowplow accident that injured actor jeremy renner on new year's day, near lreno, nevada. a sheriffs report says renner was trying to stop the tractor like the one you see here from hitting his nephew whose truck was stuck in the snow. the parking brake was not engaged and slid sideways. when renner attempted to stop or divert the piston bully to avoid injury to thihis nephew he was pulled under the vehicle by the track and run over. the 52-year-old avengers star was air lifted to the hospital with more than 30 broken bones. he is now recovering. >> thank goodness he's okay. justin bieber has sold his music catalog in what rolling stone has called the largest

sale of any artist in his generation. he handed over the rights to publishing and royalties to music investment company hypnosis. he joins a growing list of artists choosing to sell their catalog catalogs, him, justin timberlake, john legend, bruce springsteen. harry harry enten is here. what's the number? >> $200 million, that's how much justin bieber sold his music catalog to. not quite bruce springsteen level but given how young justin bieber is, it's incredibly impressive, and we have seen a lot of artists selling their music catalogs. the pros are guaranteed money up front, $200 million would be a nice payday, and it's far easier for estate planning especially if you're bob dylan, and you have a lot of people you might want to split the estate with. less money is earned if the

artist is successful over the long-term. and there is loss of creative control, which is why i don't think you'll see taylor swift selling her catalog anytime soon. >> this is about what he did up until now, not what he does in the future, right? >> correct. how do we know if it's going to be good for hypnosis? >> this is sort of the question, and it's sort of a bet that they're making, but if they are looking at the same numbers i'm looking at, they're betting on something like this, the all time spotify, look where justin bieber is right here on this list. he's at 35 billion. he is 6th on the list, and i think what you're looking at, they're looking at something like this, and they're also looking at his upopularity whic is significantly better now than four years ago. they're betting on bieber being a good long-term thing. >> thanks, harry. >> a bieber believer. >> sure. we are already looking forward to rihanna headlining the super bowl half-time show, and now we're learning who will perform in the preshow, that lineup next. >> and we have this, after weeks

so we have been telling you this morning about this german government announcing it is sending leopard 2 tanks to ukraine after weeks of pressure from allies. this comes after two officials tell cnn the u.s. is finalizing plans to send 30 abrams tanks as well, and russia has vowed to destroy any military equipment that are supplied to ukraine, and ukraine's president se zelenskyy warning that russia is preparing for revenge against ukraine on the battlefield. joining us now the author of the new book "the bill of obligations, ten habits of good citizens," it is now out, we're happy to have him on, richard haass, good morning, so happy to have you on this morning.

let's start with what's happening in ukraine. what do you think of zelenskyy's warning there? >> look, you know,s germans were reluctant to do this. ukraine wanted more arms all along. the united states has been trying to balance helping ukraine, and perhaps not provoking russia. i think what we're going to find out is what can ukraine actually accomplish with these arms. can it be a military breakthrough. quite possible it won't. what it might lead to is a stalemate and the russians and ukrainians may be inching in the direction where negotiations may become more acceptable! so you think negotiations and does this continue, this war, you said, is it a stalemate? that means a longer war? >> a longer war but at some point if both sides decide they can't win militarily, and the co costs of prosecuting the war with too high, that sets up a backdrop potentially, emphasize potentially, for diplomacy. he's worried that anything that

looks like a defeat on the battlefield could weaken him at home, but at some point he's going to have to make the calculation, does that flip and reverse and continuing the war perhaps weaken him at home. we're not there yet. maybe one day. >> what about the fact, though, that it was just last thursday that med ve avedev, he said the of a nuclear power in a conventional war can provoke the outpress outbreak of nuclear war. nuclear powers do not lose conflicts on which their fate depends. >> that's central to nuclear d doctrine, and something we have been thinking about all along. how do you help ukraine enough, and not get to that point. you don't want to signal that russian nuclear threats have real weight. what will that teach the russians and the rest of the world, that nuclear weapons are useful. >> how do you walk that line? you're a diplomat. >> in the moment, i think you push as we're pushing.

at some point you may say we want to liberate crimea, but you may not want to liberate it all militarily. and you might say, maybe that's still a role for diplomacy and sanctions. this is going to be tricky. and you're exactly right, you've got to walk a line here. the administration has been doing it all along, i think not badly, but this is tricky given these threats. >> richard, we spoke when i did the night show when this war started, and, one, did you think that it would last this long, that we would still be talking ab about? >> early on, everybody worried -- i don't think a lot of experts thought this war was going to go the way it did. >> six months into the future, what do you think? >> it's going to look a lot like the present. >> you do? >> yes. >> why do you say that? >> i don't see either side necessarily having enough of a military advantage to break the other, and russia is dug in defensive positions. ukraine is getting more offensive fire power. i'm not sure it's going to be enough to fundamentally change

the military balance, and i don't think either side is as yet ready to negotiate but at some point maybe. >> talk about the book. >> let's talk about what this book is about, as a matter of fact, according to the justice department, the book is called "the bill of obligations, the ten habits of good citizens," what happened on january 6th, 2021, was not good citizenship. >> it's actually what shocked me into writing this book. >> really? >> i don't know about you, but i get up every morning and worry about a lotover things. i never thought hi to worry about the fabric of american democracy, about the fabric of the united states and what january 6th taught me is we can no longer take that for granted. >> so in the break, i just had richard start to sign the book, and i said can you write it to my kids, sienna and luca when they're old nenough, they're 4 and 6. what i like about the book, it's about preserving democracy, and one of the central tenets is compromise, and can we come to compromise. you seem hopeful but can we?

>> it need not be a dirty word. some of the people he highlighted, people willing to take difficult compromises. politicians will only do it if they get rewarded. they're not always responsible. they're always responsive. they have to understand compromises will help them not hurt them. they will do the right thing only if we pressure them to do the right thing. >> according to the justice department, more than 500 january 6th capitol rioters have been found guilty of crimes committed that day, the members of the oath keepers have been found guilty of seditious conspiracy. do you believe -- do you think that people don't realize their own obligations as citizens of a democracy? >> again, that's why i wrote the book. we don't understand it. we don't study it. think about it, you can graduate from almost any university in this country never having studied anything about american democracy. you can graduate from any elementary and high school not

having been e xposed to it. the declaration of independence or the constitution, they have never read the federalist papers so why do we think americans will value democracy, why do we think they will understand how a democracy works if they haven't st studied it. >> do you think that's why people believe the former president's lies, they haven't studied it? >> they choose to go on media that reinforces their biases. we need to have information literacy. new jersey just passed a law, first state in the country to teach students how to navigate the space of information, how do you tell when it's a fact, how do you tell fact from a opinion? >> the news literacy project, does that work, you know, i grew up and i'm sure your mom said this, consider the source. that is more important now than ever. >> and consider the sources. one of the things i think that's important is to multisource, not is single source your information. i think that also really helps.

>> speak of considering the source and believing folks, are you watching this george santos stuff? i'm sure you are? >> i come from long island, i grew up in valley stream so i know something about the world he comes from. yeah, this is a circus. it's not just that he got to where he did based upon lies, but also the idea that he's seen as acceptable. one of the things i write about in this book is the importance of embracing norms. essentially decent responsible behavior. there's no way the republican party should accept somebody like george santos. he essentially ought to be rejected by the body politic. >> the bill of obligations, the ten habits of good citizens by richard haass. >> i'll let you finish now. congratulations, i think it's his 15th book. >> something like that. >> you. thank you, congrats. >> thank you, guys. >> take a look at this picture. it has a lot of people talking. that is floyd dean shannon, a delta flight attendant, sitting
