12:00 pm
officials are talking about this backs up what i have been hearing about intelligence officials for awhile now which is they don't see any signs this war is winding down any time soon. it's what you heard from mark milley last week it's going to be hard for ukraine to push russia out within the next year. >> katie bo lillis, thank you. it's the top of the hour on "cnn newsroom." i'm alisyn camerota. we begin with the violent video that was just released of the attack against paul pelosi, the husband of former speaker nancy pelosi. police body cam video of that night shows the moment that the attacker strikes paul pelosi with a hammer just moments after police arrive. pelosi was asleep in bed when a suspect broke into his home, and we warn you, this video is disturbing.
12:01 pm
>> yeah. 2620. 2640. how you doing. >> how are you? >> what's going on, man? >> good. >> hi. drop the hammer. >> um, no. >> hey, hey, hey. >> what is going on? >> we're not getting an answer. >> oh, [ bleep ] . >> backup, code 3. >> just incredible to watch. the court also released surveillance footage from cameras installed by d.c. police which shows us them breaking into the house, right there.
12:02 pm
cnn's veronica miracle is right there for us. also, the court released paul pelosi's 911 call. tell us about that. >> reporter: yeah, alisyn. first of all, that video so disturbing and hard to watch, especially knowing that paul pelosi suffered a skull fracture and nancy pelosi says he still hasn't recovered. that was three months ago, and she says it'lle months before he may feel like himself again. so that 911 call, though, that you mentioned, it certainly paints an interesting picture because it happened right before all of the attack happened. it happened in the middle of paul pelosi trying to figure out exactly how to get away from david depap, and you can see timing to talk in code. take a listen. >> what is this? >> this is san francisco police. do you need help? >> oh, well, there's a gentleman here. i just waiting for my wife to
12:03 pm
come back, nancy pelosi. he's waiting for her to come back, but she won't be back for days, so i guess we'll have to wait. >> okay. do you need police, fire, or medical for anything? >> uh, i don't think so. i don't think so. >> there's the -- is the capitol police around? >> no. >> they're usually here at the house protecting my wife. >> no. this is san francisco police. >> no, i understand. okay. well, uh. i don't know, what do you think? he thinks everything's good. i've got a problem, but he thinks everything's good. >> oh, okay.
12:04 pm
i'll dispatch if you change your mind. >> no, this gentleman just came into the house, and wants to wait here for my wife to come home, and so anyway -- >> do you know who the person is? >> no, i don't know who he is. he told me not to -- he told me not to do anything. >> what is your address, sir? >> [ bleep ]. >> what is your name? >> my name's paul pelosi. anyways, this gentleman, he thinks, you know, he's telling me to put the phone down and do what he says. okay? >> okay. what's the gentleman's name? >> i don't know. >> david. >> what's that? >> my name's david. >> the name's david.
12:05 pm
>> okay, and who is david? >> i don't know. what's that in. >> i'm a friend of theirs. >> yeah, i -- he says he's a friend, but i've never -- >> but you don't know who he is? >> no, ma'am. de de. >> i've got stop talking to you, okay? >> okay. you sure? i can stay on the phone with you just to make sure everything's okay. >> no, he wants me to get the hell off the phone. okay? >> okay. >> thank you. >> okay, bye. >> and alisyn, today, the court also released a 15-minute-plus long interview that david depape did with an investigator after his arrest and he details all of the steps he took in order to get into the house, including smashing and breaking into the w windows which we can see on the surveillance video. he admitted he was struck by how hard it was to break that glass.
12:06 pm
it was a special kind of glass, and he tried to break the doorknob off, and wasn't able to do so, but he said it was an empty and big house, and he for a second thought nobody was home and was surprised to find paul pelosi sleeping in his bed. he said that they had an interaction while paul pelosi sat in his bed and he wanted to tie him up so he could do what he needed to do, but paul pelosi was able to get into the bathroom, and that's where you hear that 911 call, whiches def -- which is definitely hard to listen to, because you can hear paul pelosi trying not to agitate david depape, but depape admitted that after 911 showed up that he was agitated because he was there for nancy pelosi, and he was there to fight tyranny, and he was going to go through paul pelosi if he had to. >> you're so right, veronica. listening to that 911 call is stressful for anyone because you
12:07 pm
know what's unfolding before the dispatcher knows what's unfolding, but obviously she caught on and did the right thing. thank you very much for all of the reporting on the ground there. let's bring in areva martin. i can't help but note the juxtaposition as we brace ourselves for the video, the body cam video that's coming out about, you know, tyre nichols, and the trauma that we assume that will cause to watching versus this one, the police body cam video of what happened to paul pelosi, also very hard to watch, but this one is clearly in the public interest because there were so many questions about how did the police get in? who had the hammer? this video answers so much. >> yeah, alisyn. i'm sitting here listening to paul pelosi with his composure and how calm he is, and just how brilliant he is in talking to this dispatcher without irritating, and escalating the
12:08 pm
situation with the suspect, but one of the questions that comes to mind to me was where was the capitol police? he's outside that house for several moments and there's a camera apparently on the side of nancy pelosi's house that is connected to some space in the capitol police's office. so did they not see what was happening outside of our speaker's house, and weren't they able to dispatch someone to the home, and also it dispels any myth that this man knew mr. pelosi, that he was in the house with his knowledge, that, you know, this puts mr. pelosi and the suspect together. this is very telling and dispels so many myths and conspiracy theories that have been circling around the story. >> it exposes also the callousness of these, you know, right wing commentators who try
12:09 pm
to inject something salacious into this or conspiracy theories into this because, you know, they couldn't believe it would be a targeted political attack. this was a targeted political attack. you see him breaking into the home with the hammer. i think we've learned that the capitol police are not there on the premises when the speaker was not home, but as you say, there were cameras set up, but who knows if they're monitoring them, you know, second by second? obviously we've shown that they weren't and there was a flaw in the system, but then what is most remarkable, i think, areva, is the moment are police are there. even they can't figure out exactly what's happening when they first show up at the house, but within seconds, the suspect clobbers, you know, paul pelosi with the hammer, and the police immediately dive into action and call for backup, and that is just how fast it all -- all the violence happens. it's stunning. >> yeah, it happened very quickly, but again, we have to give a lot of credit, alisyn, to mr. pelosi for how quickly he was able to get on the phone with the dispatcher to use this coded language to even cause the dispatcher to send the police to his home. had he not been able to make that phone call, we don't know what would have happened because
12:10 pm
this suspect, this intruder was on a mission to find nancy pelosi. he said he wanted to interrogate her, and he was willing to break her kneecaps if she in his opinion lied to him about the election of 2020. so thankfully mr. pelosi acted quickly, was smart enough to get into that bathroom and to make that coded phone call to the dispatcher which caused those police officers to arrive on the scene, because it could have been a lot worse than the yirs sha we k-- injuries that we kno did suffer. >> we did see how injured he was. we're not showing it again because it is very disturbing to watch, but there's a moment in the video where right after he's hit with the hammer, he's lying on the ground immobilized. i mean, don't really know, i guess, we haven the report that he was knocked unconscious for awhile and he was not moving at all. now we understand why she has said it will be months for this
12:11 pm
head injury to heal, and she actually just came out and said that she has no interest in ever seeing this video, which, of course, is understandable. >> absolutely, alisyn. the good news, though, is the suspect has been charged with attempted murder and assault, and he is facing both state and federal charges, all of which could land him if he is convicted to serve life in prison for this vicious attack on mr. pelosi. >> areva, thank you for being here for both of these stories. okay. now back to the tyre nichols one. a city on edge, a nation on alert, and in a matter of hours, memphis officials are expected to release that body cam video of tyre nichols and the fatal beating by police. the five memphis officers were fired after nichols died on january 10th. all are now charged with second-degree murder, and several other major felonies. all of them are now out on bond. a short time ago nichols' family
12:12 pm
thanked supporters and urged protesters to keep the demonstrations peaceful even after the video is out. the police chief of memphis warned of the graphic nature of the footage. >> you're going to see acts that defy humanity. you're going to see a disregard for life, duty of care that we're all sworn to, and a level of physical interaction that is above and beyond what is required in law enforcement. what i saw in this video was more of a groupthink sort of mentality. >> many of the nichols family have watched this video, but his mother says she could not bear to see the footage. she did see the aftermath of what her son looked like in the hospital. >> they had beat him to a pulp.
12:13 pm
he had pbruises all over him. his head was swollen like a wa wa watermelon. his neck was busting because of the swelling. they broke his neck. my son's nose looked like an "s." they actually just beat the crap out of him. >> cnn's sara sidner is covering this story from memphis. sara, it's so hard to hear from the mother. they have been incredibly brave in dealing with the public, and being in these press conferences. so about the video, have members of the memphis city council watched it yet? we heard that was going to happen today. >> reporter: i can confirm that they have, and in just a second, you will hear from martavis jones, the chairman. i want to mention to you that we heard from ravaughn wells, the
12:14 pm
mother of tyre nichols, and she said at the end of this video, everyone is saying that you hear tyre nichols screaming his mother's name several times. he was very close to the home, and she says she truly believes he was screaming that way because he was hoping that she would hear him because he was something like 80 yards away from her home, and that really struck everyone in the church as she spoke about how much she loved her free-spirited son. now joining me is martavius jones. thank you for being here. you come here, i know, with a heavy hard because you have just watched a video of police officers and the public having a horrible interaction. can you tell me what it did to you to watch this? >> well, i'm still digesting things right now. it's very difficult to watch in
12:15 pm
hindsight, knowing that a young person, a young man died as a result of this. so, you know, we started watching it about 12:15, 12:30 today, and now here. it's very difficult to digest. >> let me ask you this. we have heard a lot of descriptions of this video. one very strong one from the police chief herself. she said, this was either the same or worse than the beating of rodney king in 1992 in los angeles, a beating that the world saw and that we still talk about and reference today because of the horrificness of it. is that what you saw on the tape? on the video? >> a young man died at the end of the day, and i don't want to minimize the fact that he's no longer with us, but i did not view it that way. >> you did not see it that way? >> i did not see it that way. >> how would you describe the way you saw it? >> it was bad. it was excessive force. those officers involved need to
12:16 pm
be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but i, you know, maybe it was the time of my life when i was in my early 20s when the rodney king incident happened, and that's forever branded in my brain as the most brutal attack that was ever caused, but the fact that mr. nichols died is, you know, i'm so disappointed that that happened in my community, but i do not agree with the assessment that it was as bad as or worse as rodney king. >> what did you see? did you see kicking and punching, and was it all of the officers together or was it just a few of them and then some standing by and watching? >> it was all of the above. it's -- still keep in mind, i'm somewhat limited. the only way we were able to watch this video was attorney/client privilege meeting. we couldn't ask questions or comment amongst ourselves. it wasn't all councilmembers
12:17 pm
there. less than half, but we had to direct all of our questions to the city attorney. >> let me ask you about this. we have now heard from the attorneys for the nichols family, and they have said that the scorpion unit which was put in place to try and decrease crime are the criminals, and that unit must be banned after this. it must be ended. do you think the same? >> well, i'm the -- i've never professed to be the law enforcement expert on the city council. i would have to make that determination after a full examination to see what it is that they do. if after close examination we see that they are ineffective in what they're doing, i would call for that, but i just can't rush to judgment without having all the information before me right now to say that it needs to be disbanded. should another person as a result of a traffic stop, should their life be taken? absolutely not, and if it takes
12:18 pm
our doing away with the scorpion unit to do so, i'm in agreement with that. i can't make that determination right now. >> what made the difference in this particular case with the firings of these officers? you mentioned one thing, and that was cameras. >> yes. yes. you know, we've -- you look around our downtown, we have cameras all over the city. we clearly don't have enough, but i'm just grateful for the fact that we do have cameras and we were able to capture it. i was talking to another reporter today. just think about, you know, i'm a -- i was a finance major in college, but a student of history, and knowing the history of this country, how many -- how many murders took place at the hands of law enforcement before our time, and there was not the technology like cameras around to catch it. >> thank you, sir, very much. >> >>. >> thank you. >> i'm going to send it back to you. he does not agree exactly with the police chief this was worse than the beating of rodney king. we will be seeing this video in less than four hours. >> that was a really valuable
12:19 pm
perspective. i appreciate him sharing with you everything that he saw and is feeling today. sara, thank you. let's bring in darren forsher, a former nypd lieutenant. thank you for being here. how do you explain -- having been a lieutenant, how do you explain what happened that night with these five police officers? we've heard so many different theories from, you know, bias. even unconscious bias to even adrenaline poisoning. what do you see in these officer' behavior? >> well, good afternoon, alisyn, and good afternoon to the viewers. i view this as a breakdown in supervision. the police officers that engage with the public on a day-to-day do not have the same connection that the chief of police has, therefore you have a sergeant in place. that sergeant is the connective tissue between the executive
12:20 pm
ranks and the rubber that reaches the roads which is the police officers. if you don't have a plausible oversight, the police officers will act autonomously. when you look at a situation of this magnitude, it truly equates to a breakdown in supervision, and we need to have more oversight over police officers who are embarking within the city of memphis. >> what about the scorpion unit that we've learned is deployed to high crime areas, and they're sort of -- they're being called a saturation unit. they are apparently looking for crime even before it happens. do all big city police departments have a unit that's equivalent to this? >> well, when we spotlight the scorpion unit in particular, when you look at the quantitative statistics, they were successful in catching crime, but this doesn't give them the right to violate people's civil rights.
12:21 pm
an enforcement unit is determinant in any police department, but they have to operate quintessentially. the officers were not adhere to the department policy and therefore there needs to be a wider overview as to what that unit's function is, and what adjustments will need to be made moving forward. >> as you know, so many people around the country are bracing for the release of this video. it can't help but be traumatic for everyone who sees it, and obviously the closer you are to tyre, the worse it is. do you see value in this being released? even though the police have been transparent about what's on it. it's been described to us. is there value to the public seeing it with their own eyes? >> the policie and community relationship hinges on transparency. as a result of having that transparency, i believe it's necessary for the video to be introduced to the public.
12:22 pm
i also believe that the police department needs to function or create the necessary fortifications to protect the citizens within that city to ensure that the protests remain sound and peaceful. so two components. yes, transparency is necessary. secondly, it's necessary to introduce this video, but lastly, the onus is also on the public to ensure they act in an appropriate manner. >> darrin porcher, thank you so much for shariing your expertis. israeli officials report that seven people are dead in a it shooing in jerusalem. what are you learning at this hour? >> reporter: alisyn, what we're learning is about two hours ago, the shooting took place in a neighborhood in north jerusalem outside of a synagogue. it is friday night and shabbat, so people were there for services, shabbat services.
12:23 pm
what we understand from israeli police is the shooting began outside of the synagogue. the assailant then got into his car, drove some few hundred meters away, and then at a junction somehow was engaged by police and that's where he was shot and killed. what we know is that seven people have been killed in this attack. several more are injured. we know of a 15-year-old boy who was among those injured in the hospital, and a 24-year-old man also injured in the hospital. we're still gathering information on the others. all we know about the assailant so far is that he was killed according to israeli police. from what we understand, he was killed by police. right now it's just -- the police are just trying to sweep the area, trying to see if there are any more assailants and then the question now is going to be, what's going to be the reaction from this new government? this government was only sworn in just about a month ago, and it's the most right wing government in israeli history. it's already been a very violent and tense 36 hours or so here after an israeli military raid in the occupied west bank
12:24 pm
yesterday killed nine palestinians. another palestinian was killed later in the day. that made it the deadliest day for palestinians in over a year, and now we have this attack, and in between there, there were rockets fired from gaza into isr israel. israel responded with air strikes, and the shooting took place tonight. there were a lot of concerns the situation here was going to spiral out of control, and alisyn, it feels as though this is now the beginning of that spiral. >> hadas gold, thank you very much. back here. mike pence just weighed in on the classified documents that were found in his home. we'll bring you that next. it followed me everywhere. so i consolidated it into a low-rate personal loan from sofi. get a personal l loan with no fees, low fixed rates, and borrow up to $ $100k. sofi. get your money right.

former vice president mike pence just addressed the classified documents that were found in his home. >> it's actually been a very humbling week for us. but i know we did the right thing. look, the proper handling of classified information is very important to the national sp interest. throughout my career in the congress and as your vice president, we always sought to take great care in the handling of the nation's secrets. at the close of our administration, we did a thorough review of all the documents and the npossessions n the office of the vice president, and the residence of the vice president. i'm confident that was conducted in a professional manner, but with news in recent weeks of repeated disclosure of classified documents in a personal residence of president
12:30 pm
biden, and documents dating back to his service as vice president, i simply thought, out of an abundance of caution, it would be appropriate to review my personal records kept at our residence at the state of indiana. we initiated that process. along the way, we determined that there was a small number of documents marked classified or sensitive interspersed in my personal papers. upon making that discovery, we secured those documents immediately. we alerted the national archives. we turned them over to the fbi, and soon thereafter communicated it to congress. while i was not aware that those classified documents were in our personal residence, let me be clear. those classified documents should not have been at my personal residence. mistakes were made, and i take full responsibility.
12:31 pm
i've directed by counsel to work with the national archives, with the department of justice, and with the congress to fully cooperate in any investigation. our national security depends on the proper handling of classified and sensitive materials, and i -- i know that when errors are made, it's important that they be resolved swiftly and disclosed. my only hope is that as the american people look at our conduct in this manner, that they see that we acted above politics, and put the national interest first, and i pledge to each and every one of you and to the american people that we will continue to do so. so help me god. >> very interesting right there, you hear the former vice president talking about that for the first time and saying mistakes were made. this is also just into cnn. rnc chairwoman ronna mcdaniel has been elected to a fourth consecutive term. she fended off a strong

cautious optimism today on wall street after a key measure of inflation showed some cooling. the new report comes ahead of the fed's first meeting of the year. cnn's matt egan joins us now to break down what it all means. so matt, what is this marker, and how might it play into the fed's thinking? >> well, alisyn, this is exactly what the fed wants to see. inflation is chilling out, and that's great news for everyone. today's reports the pce index. this is the preferred inflation metric, and prices inched higher between november and december, up by 5% year over year in december. now normally this is nothing to cheer about, right? this is about twice as hot as inflation is supposed to be, but everything is relative, and if you look, inflation is actually
12:38 pm
cooling off because last june we had 7% inflation. it has ticked down to 5%, and this slowdown in inflation, if it continues, this could give the fed the cover it needs and wants to try to slow the pace of interest rate hikes at next week's meeting and maybe even pause altogether this spring. we do need to keep an eye on consumer spending though because spending dipped last month as people were dealing with inflation. peoples a saved more money. they're setting aside extra money for a rainy day, and hopefully we get to see inflation calm down some more and consumer spending can tick up because we need consumer spending to get this expansion to continue. >> let's talk about gas prices. they're going up again. what's the story? >> they are going up, but this is unusual, the timing here. the national average is at $3.51 a gallon, up 41 cents in the past month.
12:39 pm
it's weird to see it during the dead of winter because demand is pretty weak. normally people are staying off the roads, but this is not about demand. this is a supply situation. we seen outages of refineries, including colorado's only refinery. this happened last month during the winter weather, and that's why we've seen this spike across the country, almost $1 higher over the past month in colorado. 60 cent increase in ohio, and all of them seeing big increases. oil prices also gone up. how long does this last? we don't know, but gas buddy says they wonder whether or not the springtime pickup in gas price that is we normally say gets pulled forward. that would mine in this case instead of $4 gas this may, we could see $4 gas in march. alisyn? >> okay. matt egan, thank you. so many people who have seen the video of the police beating of tyre nichols liken it to that of rodney king. rodney king's daughter is going to join us next.

12:45 pm
>> it has been said that it is reminiscent, perhaps worse than the rodney king video. is that your assessment? >> it's my assessment. i wish i was in law enforcement during the rodney king incident, and -- it's very much aligned with that same type of behavior. >> it's worse? >> the sort of groupthink. i would say it's about the same, if not, worse. >> i want to bring in now laura king. she's the daughter of the late rodney king, and founder of the rodney king foundation. laura, thanks so much for being here. so many people have likened the video of tyre nichols to that of your dad in 1991 being beaten by the lapd. not everyone, but many people. i'm just wondering what this week has been like for you to hear your dad's name invoked so much. >> you know, i often try to stay
12:46 pm
away, but then when i heard everyone just comparing, i had no choice but to face it as with all of us. it's really horrific honestly because i've read details on it and i'm sick to my stomach. i'm actually not well, and i don't think anybody in their right mind, anybody that respects humanity is okay with this. i don't -- i'm lost for words about it, and i'm just sad. i'm sad for his mother, sad for his family. i'm sad for his friends. i read that he has a child. i'm not sure, but i'm sad for his son. i'm just sad for just where we are in america. we're still here. i'm in disbelief. >> yeah. you're not alone, and the visceral reaction you're describing being sick to your stomach, so many of us feel that way, and i've heard so many describe it like you are. what can you tell tyre nichols' family about what their life is going to be like when this video is made public?
12:47 pm
>> that's the number one question i'm always asked and i'm, like, really emotional. so i'm sorry, but there's nothing -- there's nothing i can say. that is something between god's grace, god himself, and them. there's no one -- even if martin luther kaing were here today helping us, as he is in our spirit, he couldn't even help. this is something that's undescribable. their life will never be the same, and it's very unfortunate. it's very unfortunate that the world will know him as a hashtag, but i hope -- i hope and i'm grateful his family will continue in his legacy by all the good work he's doing and, you know, he's done, and, you know, skateboarding and things of that nature. i'm proud that they're representing him very well because this is -- it's not acceptable. it's just -- i still can't -- i'm, like, in disbelief about it, and i don't -- i don't understand why it takes that many officers for 140-pound man. there's no way anybody can
12:48 pm
explain that to me, let alone the way they did that man. that picture, that's sickening to me. that's sickening, and to my knowledge, he was handcuffed while they were beating him. not to say it would have been better if he was not handcuffed, but that's even worse. it's like people often wonder why people run. that's why. this is why, because they're fearful of their life and they know what's to come. 90% of the time, so it's like well, my natural human reaction is to run because i feel like i'm going to die, and nine times out of ten, we see this happening. imagine how many times this happens that it's not recorded, you know? it just makes me sad, and don't get me wrong. there's great officers out here. i know them. our commander here, ruby flores is great. she does everything behind the scenes to make things right with us and the community and things of that nature, but one person, two people, there's a few. there's a few of officers. i can't speak for all of them,
12:49 pm
but it doesn't compare to what we're still seeing. we have to do something better. obviously this way is not working. it's not working. the only difference between think father's situation and now is hashtags and a clearer camera. we have to do better. this is unacceptable. >> lor a, we really appreciate you being here, and this is hard for you and it will continue to be, i'm sure even more so when the video comes out. we're thinking of you. we appreciate you being here. >> thank you. i appreciate that. i receive that. thank you so much. the family of tyre nichols is urging peace and calling for justice before the video is released of what they described as a horrific police beating. we have the latest next. introducing the new sleep number climate360 smart bed. the only smart bed in the world that actively cools, warms and effortlessly respondso both of you.
