11:01 am
hello, everyone. i am alison cam. >> more than 40 million americans are under winter weather alerts, and officials warn all the ice could make traveling dangerous and lead to power outages. freezing rain and slick roads are causing dangerous conditions. emergency crews have responded to more than 140 traffic accidents in the dallas fort worth area alone. >> and ice made driving in
11:02 am
arkansas treacherous. can you see that on your screen. the governor declaring a state of emergency there. and airlines canceling more than 1,000 flights today. let's go to cnn's ed lavandera. what are you seeing there? >> reporter: we are seeing conditions deteriorate throughout the morning. we had one long stretch of heavy rain, freezing rain and sleet that fell, and that transformed the way the roadways in south texas look. we have seen the road conditions worsen. the additional layer of sleet hardened up and turned to ice and making driving difficult. as you can tell, millions of people are heeding the warnings of staying off the roads. and school closings and office
11:03 am
closings, and that's gone a long way in keeping people off the roadways. there's been one fatality, and a number of people without power, some 5,000 or so according to state officials that has, we are told, nothing to do with the power grid in the state. those are localized issues of power outages. the power grid here, officials say, is holding up, and that's a major concern given what happened two years ago in the winter storm where millions were left without power and several hundred people killed because of that. this is an intense storm that transformed here in the last couple of hours. they are saying this will last well into tomorrow as well. >> ed, thank you. let's go to gabe now. let's look at the airports and airlines. how bad is it there? >> we keep seeing the number of
11:04 am
flight cancelations surging over the past few hours. now more than 1,600 flights canceled today and that after 1,100 canceled yesterday. it's concentrated where that storm is hitting. nearly half of the cancelations are in texas. the vast majority are from two airlines, american and southwest, and both based in the fort worth area, and those cancelations largely happening in texas right now, it could very well cause some ripple affect across the country as travelers get displaced and airlines try to put those pieces back together. all eyes will be on southwest and their system given the meltdown that happened at the airline around christmas. in the past two days, southwest has canceled 12% of their flights because of the weather. back in december, they struggled after a winter storm to reconnect their crews and
11:05 am
aircrafts and get their systems back on time. their ceo says since that time they made major improvements, not just to their scheduling system but to their de-icing procedures, and the ceo says the airline should be better prepared for a storm like this. to be clear, at this point there's no indication that this is another southwest meltdown in the making, but this is a real test for those improvements given how badly the system failed them last month. guys? >> let's hope it doesn't bump, but there's a national side eye over at southwest after the last couple of months. now to memphis, the official police report of tyre nichols does not include how officers repeatedly punched and kicked the unarmed black man, and caused one of the five officers
11:06 am
charged in tyre nichols's case a victim. >> a seventh memphis police officer has been relieved of duty. two emts and a lieutenant have been fired from the city's fire department. let's start with the discrepancies between the videos we have watched and the police report. >> one of the things we are still checking into is who that seventh officer is. that name has not been released just yet, and as you go through the video you see some of the discrepancies. it says tyre nichols's was anan aggravated assault, and you can see officers approached the car with a lot of aggression before he knew what was going on. the next part said that nichols grabbed for detective martin's
11:07 am
gun, and we didn't see that in the video. and it listed martin as a victim. and it said the nichols pulled on officers' duty belts, and you see sometimes officers holding his arms as he is being hit repeatedly. there's no mention of officers punching and kicking nichols as all. in fact, some things captured in the audio on video after the beating occurs, just take a listen. >> look. hey, you good? >> he reached for my gun. >> we have been talking to several memphis police officers and they tell me when they are involved in an incident that involved physical force, they have to put that in part of their report. that should be part of it. of course, we are hoping the police department that has been
11:08 am
transparent so far maybe provides us the entire file so we can go through it. as i was talking to the officers, they tell me when they do put hands on somebody or it gets physical, they have to list what use of force they use when they are trying to arrest somebody. as you can imagine, this has been very difficult for the family. in fact, his brother, tyre's brother talked to don lemon this morning, and listen to the emotion in his voice about what this family has been enduring. >> i hope they meet the same fate as my brother. that's how i feel. you know, i mean, i don't know what the laws is in tennessee or what not, but for me, i believe they deserve the death penalty. >> you can imagine how tough this is for tyre's family. we are also told later tonight there will be a news conference where the family will be talking once again. victor, some of the new questions now part of the case is trying to figure out who that seventh officer is, and what is going on at the fire department.
11:09 am
we also have a look into the initial incident report that is leading to so many more questions that is leading to what so many officers said right after this beating. >> we will try and get some of those answers a little later in the show. >> thank you. and with us now, the president of the naccp. >> the more people we see were culpable beyond those five officers that were charged with second-degree murder. there were two other police officers that we know have been relieved of duty, and one was heard saying i hope they stomp his ass, basically, and there was a lieutenant in the fire department that got to the scene and never got out of the fire truck to render assistance. here is the timeline that we
11:10 am
know. 8:41 p.m., emts arrived at the second scene where tyre nichols was injured. five minutes later an ambulance was called. nine minutes later the ambulance arrives, and 13 minutes later the ambulance leaves with nichols in it. it's way beyond just aggressive policing by the scorpion unit. what else do you see happening here? why are so many people not doing the right thing? >> it's puzzling. everybody knew tyre was in a state where he needed medical attention. as you see in the video, they pulled him up twice and he slumped over twice. obviously at that point in time you knew because of what you had done to him, he was medically -- he needed assistance. he needed your aid. nobody gave him the aid.
11:11 am
one may ask, was that the worst thing that happened that evening, because had tyre perhaps been given the aid that he deserved, maybe he could have lived. but what we saw was the brutalization, the beat-down, the kick, the stomping, and basically they leave him there to die and had those officers intervened and had the leadership intervenes and emts intervened, and there were two sheriff deputies, had they intervened, maybe tyre would still be alive today. it was a failure all around. the list keeps growing. we are up to our seventh officer now. there may be more. >> i want to ask you about the police chief, because she has been applauded for being transparent and acting swiftly in the case, and she was the person that created and over saw the scorpion unit, that has now been disbanded.
11:12 am
do you still have faith in her leadership? >> you know, that's a good question. i believe that's a question that is left open. obviously she's done a good job. she asked for a quick termination. she supported the indictment. she assisted with the release of the video footage. and this is the blueprint for how you treat these types of cases. since more names are coming out, the question is why weren't these other officers included when the first five officers came out and were terminated and indicted. i think the question is still out there. certainly up to this point, she's been trance parent and supported the release of the officers, their termination and indictment. i think that's still an ongoing analysis, and some of that is
11:13 am
being questioned because of the two officers now just being revealed. up to this point as a whole, this is being a lot better in cases where there has been a delay, a failure to terminate the officers, a failure to bring a quick indictment. i think she needs to be, you know, getting positive marks on that aspect of it. but there's still a question as to where this takes us. >> you have learned of any other excessive force cases or any other victims connected to the scorpion unit? >> yeah, a couple days before tyre nichols there was another gentleman that came forth. i think his name was cory mckinley. i need to look in my notes again. he complained of the same treatment. pulled out of his car and held at gunpoint and beat, and he was
11:14 am
released. he was just going to get pizza. he called and complained twice, and then a couple days later tyre was killed. i am sure this investigation will reveal what is all out there. there's a culture which allowed the scorpion unit to feel empowered to do what they did. i have to admit, the reason we got here is because of the high crime, and the reason for the high crime is because we have not invested enough in the community to prevent the type of crime we are seeing that required the scorpion unit. it's a multifaceted situation we have to look at. >> absolutely. thank you for your time. the white house will meet with members of congress today. the first vice chair of the congressional black caucus, and
11:15 am
she was one of the co sponsors of the george floyd police act in the house and it stalled in the senate. what do you want to tell the president? what do you want to hear from him? >> we would like to tell the president that it's time for action, that we need a full-court press working with the senate and the house to pass the george floyd policing and accountability act. we need to maximize on his executive order, make sure that data is being collected as he is asked for offices across the nation who have been charged with misconduct. there are many ways we need to bake accountability into policing practices across the nation. we can't relent until we achieve
11:16 am
these goals. lives are at stake. this has been happening in communities of color, in black communities, for far too long. centuries now. there's no excuse for inaction. >> the last time around with the george floyd policing act, qualified immunity was a sticking point. has that been resolved? >> i think we need to continue to talk. there's no reason to stall everything we can accomplish around protecting our citizens from rogue cops that believe in their humanity of others and brutality as a way of asserting their authority. you know, qualified immunity is something that we're still very concerned about because of the lack of accountability. however, there are many other provisions that need to also be examined, and we need to move
11:17 am
this legislation forward. >> i want you to listen to republican congressman, jim jordan, about what he says as the limits of legislation. >> i don't know if there's any law that we can stop that evil that we saw. it's just difficult to watch. what strikes me is the lack of respect for human life, so i don't know that any law, any training or any reform will change, you know -- this man was handcuffed and they continued to beat him. >> there was training for the memphis police department, and congress approved funds for body cams so officers would be aware this would be captured, and some of this you cannot legislate away. >> yeah, but we can hold people accountable. we can make examples of individuals who are rogue cops so they know from the outset
11:18 am
that this is not tolerated anywhere in the united states of america and its territories. so i don't think we throw in the towel and say there's nothing we can do to prevent brutality within our civil society. it's a similar argument that we hear around gun violence prevention, right? at the end of the day, lives are at stake. we need to put everything on the table and accountability needs to be front and center. >> but, you know, this is -- i was just talking to van turner, and this is just more than rogue cops. there were emts that kept walking repeatedly away from tyre, and there was a fire lieutenant and ambulance drivers, and all sorts of people that didn't intervene, and it's hard to know what that collective mind-set was about. >> it's dehumanization.
11:19 am
at the end of the day they are all professionals paid by the tax dollars of the citizenry of this nation, and we have to hold them accountable. when we fail to hold people accountable we are sending a signal that it's okay to dehumanize individuals, that we are not going to hold you to the highest standards of your professions as public servants, and we can't afford that. we have to hold everybody accountable in this scenario and in future scenarios. >> thank you very much for being here. we now have never-before-seen video of former president donald trump being deposed by the new york attorney generals office.
11:20 am
>> we have more news ahead. to keep the people that hahave been here taking care of us. learn more at getrefunds.com. we planned well for retirement, but i wish we had more cash. you think those two haveny idea? that they can sell their life insurance policy for cash? so they're basically sitting on a goldmine? i don't think they have alue. that's crazy! well, not everyone knows coventry's helped thousands of people sell their policies for cash. even term policies. i can't believe they're just sitting up there! sitting on all this cash. if you own a life insurance policy of $100,000 or more, you can sell all or part of it to coventry. even a term policy. for cash, or a combination of cash and coverage, with no future premiums. someone needs to tell them, that they're sitting on a goldmine, and you have no idea! hey, guys! you're sitting on a goldmine!

11:24 am
deposition of former president donald trump. he was opposed as part of the new york district attorney's investigation as to the fraudulent practices at the trump organization. >> we got this from the new york attorney general's office, and that's when trump gave the deposition. it's about 38 minutes. you may remember that trump had previously said in the past if you are innocent, why would you take the fifth? here's his answer. >> anybody in my position, not taking the fifth amendment would be a fool. an absolute fool. one statement or answer that is ever so slightly off, just ever so slightly, by accident, by mistake, such as it was a sunny and beautiful day when actually it was slightly overcast, it would be met by law enforcement
11:25 am
under the advice of my counsel and for all of the above reasons i respectfully decline to answer the questions under the rights and privileges afforded to every citizen under the united states constitution. >> he went on to say, same answer, same answer, to hundreds of questions during the multi-hour deposition. in the beginning of the deposition, you see the tight shot of him, and letitia james is in the room and you hear her explain the process, and trump says he has done little to prepare, and he's quoting letitia james' own words to this back to her and calling it a politically motivated witch hunt. >> hundreds of times taking the fifth. >> thank you. secretary of state, blinken
11:26 am
met with mahmoud abbas in the west bank, and that followed talks with israeli president, netanyahu. >> there's a staurp escalation in violence in the last week. and what is the big takeaway from the secretary's visit? >> reporter: well, secretary of state, antony blinken, what he talked about during his press conference today is that he was there trying to restore the calm, give reassurances there was somebody having a dialogue between the two sides. he did also reiterate the u.s. support for the two-state solution, a state of palestine and israel side by side, even though that prospect seems as far away as ever. take a listen.
11:27 am
>> united states is committed to working towards our enduring goal of ensuring that the palestinians and israelis enjoy equal measures of justice, dignity and the only way to achieve that goal is through preserving and then realizing the division of two states for two peoples. >> reporter: the secretary of state did acknowledge that the horizon for that two-state solution is shrinking, not expanding. as you noted, one of the most significant announcements he made there is staff staying behind to continue the dialogue, and they are trying to get them to get the palestine authority reinstate, moderate some of the steps netanyahu is taking during
11:28 am
the violence. what was interesting, just in the last few hours, the palestinian authority spokesperson was on cnn international, and when he was asked about the security coordination, he said, look, we are pleased with what the secretary of state said and we are happy he has support for the two-state solution, and listen, as it stands right now, we're not going back to the security cooperation. i have to say while the blinken visit, everybody sees it as important, there's quite a bit of pessimism that the situation will only get worse. >> thank you. important context. president biden is reiterating his calls for house speaker kevin mccarthy to show him the budget. we will talk about that strategy head i into tomorrow's meeting.

there's a different way to treat hiv. it's every-other-month, injectable cabenuva. for adults who are undetectable, cabenuva is the only complete, long-acting hiv treatment you can get every other month. cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling. hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva.

11:33 am
president biden was out touting projects in his infrastructure law. he spoke with the hudson tunnel to be completed between new york and new jersey. >> for too long we talked about building the best economy in the world, but to have the best economy in the world you have to have the best infrastructure in the world. people don't build factories where there are not rail stations or ports or access to highways that don't attract businesses. to get products to market to create thousands of good-paying jobs. >> tomorrow the president will
11:34 am
speak down with house speaker, kevin mccarthy, to talk about the debt limit and spending as the standoff over the debt ceiling nears a crisis point. kate, good to see you again. >> nice to see you, too, victor. >> we heard from speaker mccarthy ahead of today's talks. >> it's irresponsible of the leader of the free world saying he will not negotiate. i hope that's his staff and not him. the most responsible thing to do is to sit down and find places where we can find savings for the american public. >> it would be irresponsible to allow the country to default on its financial obligations. let's start with the fact that congress has the obligation, and he voted for a debt ceiling
11:35 am
three times under president trump. the president will ask him in the meeting tomorrow, will you commit and guarantee that you will not hold the economy hostage, you will not hold the full faith and credit of the united states hostage to the negotiations. the president is not going to negotiate over congress's constitutional responsibility. the second thing the president will do is saying he is going to put his budget on the table, and he wants to be transparent with the american people and say are you looking to make cuts to social security and medicare? are you looking to make cuts to the affordable care act? president biden has lowered the deficit $1.7 trillion in the last year, and we have a record of deficit reduction. the president will ask speaker
11:36 am
mccarthy to put his budget on the table. >> the president then, as vice president in 2011 led the talks for the white house on this very subject, and i want to read what he said at the end of the negotiations. he clearly involved them, the statement from his office, as the president and i made clear from the beginning the only way to make sure we begin to live within our means is by coming together behind a balanced approach that finds real savings across the budget, including mandatory spending and loopholes in the tax code. we owe it to the american people to take every responsibility step to do right by our economy and the future. are those values and virtues not important this time around? >> as president he put forward a program that cut the deficit and put in place programs that are growing the economy, and creating jobs. he's in new york talking about how we are fixing tunnels and bridges and roads and
11:37 am
communities across the country. he's done all that while living by those values, lowering the deficit. what he is going to ask speaker mccarthy tomorrow, be candid with the american people where you want to make the cuts. what he's not willing to do is jeopardize the progress we made over the last two years by playing these political games around the debt limit. that's a big piece of the conversation he will have directly with the speaker of the house tomorrow. >> let me ask you about new reporting here. according to a justice department official and another source familiar with the matter, the fbi searched president biden's former think tank office after the discovery just before the mid-term elections of the documents with the classified markings. were any additional classified documents found as a result of that search? >> i can't answer that from
11:38 am
here, but what i can say is we have put multiple statements describing the process and being clear that the president takes this seriously, and he's continuing to cooperate with the justice department in full. while we are on the topic, over the weekend cbs had a poll out that said the majority of americans think president biden is handling this well, and it has not impacted his approval ratings. while he takes this seriously and continues to cooperate, and he's focusing on things that matter in peoples' lives, like getting the infrastructure dollars. >> you are claiming transparency, but i am bringing this to you and you are not bringing this to me. it happened in mid november. if you are, indeed, being transparent, why the continued trickle of disclosure around these documents? >> we have released multiple
11:39 am
statements over the last month walking through the process and agreeing to be fully, fully cooperative with the justice department. this is a process that plays out. we are responsiblive to the justice department's request. we are clear from the outset that the president will cooperate, and we have put out multiple statements. >> and president zelenskyy has asked for fighter jets, and the president's answer was a flat no. in giving the ukrainians what they have asked for, stinger anti-aircraft missiles, that was a no and now the ukrainians have them. and there were other nos and the tanks are now headed to ukraine,
11:40 am
and zelenskyy says, let's skip the no, no, no and okay, and supply what we need now. is there any reason to believe that this is going to be different three months from now those fighter jets will not be going to ukrainians? >> i don't have anything to add to what the president said yesterday. i will say you just laid quite effectively and comprehensively all the support, ammunitions and support and artillery we have continued to provide to ukraine and continued to work with our allies to provide to ukraine, and we are in constant communication with them and will continue to be supportive. >> thank you. >> thanks for having me. well, after seven historic interest rate hikes in the past year to flight inflation, the fe fed's strategy may be shifting. what this means for you.

there are more signs of waving confidence in the economy. a key index is almost down two full points from december. >> the federal reserve is now holding its first meeting of 2023 after sevens last year. but we have gotten some signs recently that maybe the fed is starting to get the upper hand here. we know inflation itself has cooled off. the jobs market remains sturdy. today we learned wages are slowing down a bit. so wages up by 1% in the fourth quarter. that was a slight slowdown from the third quarter, and year over year the growth stayed at 5%.
11:46 am
wages are still hot historically. this is twice the pace of the precovid area of wage growth, but they are not going straight up anymore, which i think you can see on the chart. that's what the fed wants to see. fed chair, jerome powell, it can be a negative feedback and lead to runaway inflation. today's report is encouraging because it suggests that's not happening here. of course, from a different perspective, you cannot be happy with the idea of wages not going up because that means you are not keeping up with inflation. consumer confidence took a bit hit in january, and it was felt by low-income families and those under the age of 35. >> matt, thank you for

. the academy awards board of governors is meeting today under a cloud of controversy to review the promotional campaigns for this year's oscar nominees. >> some members are surprised by the lead actress nomination for andrea riseborough in the indy film "to leslie." it only took in about $27,000 at
11:52 am
the box office, but riseborough received a noticeable flow of support online from a-list stars like ed norton, gwyneth paltrow and others, and some are questioning if the rule s were broken in how their studios pitched it to academy members. clayton from "variety" magazine is here. i remember reading your thoughts and we'll put one up here. someone said, do you know how many movies and studios break the rules? i'm talking about blatantly emailing members in a chain and saying, it's voting day. you know what to do. is this really so far outside the norm? >> hi. well, first, thank you for having me, and secondly, you're correct. based on everyone that i have spoken to, and what i have seen throughout the years in this industry, there are people who bend the rules because the academy's rules specifically number ten which talks about lobbying is very vague. so it seems as, what, andrea
11:53 am
riseborough's camp did was a lot of what i see year in and year out, but perhaps flew a little bit too close to the sun. >> it's also possible that maybe they were just super clever about it. i mean, if you have friends like kate winslet and jennifer aniston and gwyneth paltrow and you say, hey. could you, you know, put something on social media about whether you love my movie, or maybe not even that blatant. just here's the movie and they did it on their own. isn't that a fantastic gr grassroots effort? why should she be penalized for that? >> we see that year in and year out. there are other contenders who have other actors endorse their performance, but that's not so much what's at fault here with such a concentrated effort to get her nominated. we had -- you only need 218 votes -- number one votes to become an oscar nominee because
11:54 am
only the actors are voting on that specific category. so i believe that is the problem, that they were very specific in telling people how to vote, and that's what has been alleged, but unless they have a smoking gun, i don't think we're about to see her nomination rescinded, not to overbake this or overplay this. if they did rescind it without any concrete evidence, it would essentially be the end of the academy. i don't expect that to happen today when the meeting begins later on. >> $27,000 really is just what? a few hundred people, a few thousand people who saw this or paid for it. i wanted viola davis to be nominated for "the woman king." i thought that was fantastic, but isn't this in part what the academy wants? those smaller budget indy films, those actors to get the credit they're due and the applause they're due, right? >> yeah. i believe that is what they want. they want smaller films -- they want it to be about the movies, not so much about the campaigns.
11:55 am
so, you know, you drive down sunset boulevard, and you see banners. it's millions of dollars that are spent on trying to get an oscar nomination. the spirit of andrea riseborough's nomination i love, and a lot of people love. i think it became more pronounced when you didn't see viola davis nominated for "the woman king" or danielle detwiler for "till," because they were able to assemble so many people to help her to give her that endorsement. we don't see that for women of color in this industry. so i think that's why it became more pronounced, but like i said, what i think is going to end up happening, the academy will revise and amend some rules, get their specific on what lobbying is, and then we might see a couple of suspensions for academy members who called out other competitors in their social media campaigns because that is not allowed. rule number 11 talks about not calling out the competition. >> wow. i didn't know there were ten
11:56 am
other rules. clayton davis, thanks so much. >> thanks for having me. what's going on at the dallas zoo? who is tampering with the animals? we have new details ahead. .. let me tell you about the greatest roster ever assembled. the monster, the outlaw... and d you can't forget about the boss. sometimes- you just want to eat your heroes. the subway series. the greatest menu of all time. ♪ ♪ - super excited to open up my diploma from southern new hampshire university. ♪ ♪ - i'm nervous, i'm excited. ♪ ♪ - [man] okay, let's see it. let's see it. - oh my gosh. - jesus suarez, i did it and it's here.
