story compared to the northeast. windchills down to albany will be 35 below zero. this is a pets, people and property type of storm. you must really prepare for this. it is a quick blast, it will only last 36 hours. but it is the coldest air in the northern hemisphere and it will run right across new england, try to sneak all the way down even into parts of pennsylvania, significantly cooler there. temperatures right now not bad. but look what happens in just 24 hours. temperatures really go down. new york, it does warm up, but you have a couple very cold days in store for you. "cnn this morning" starts right now. happy groundhog's day.
3:01 am
it is the first day of black history month. happy black history month, everybody. or as ron desantis calls it, month. >> good morning, everyone. thank you for joining us. we're going to get to what is happening down in florida. there you key caitlan is live on capitol hill. president biden face s a series of investigations. >> also moments from now, the gop is gearing up to kick congressman omar off of a key committee. big questions on whether or not they have enough votes. they believe they do. they face some pushback from republicans. >> also hunter biden with a counter offensive. the president's son demanding investigations into those who access data from his personal laptop. what is behind this really aggressive new legal strategy. >> we'll get to all that in a moment.
3:02 am
we're going to begin with breaking news out of ukraine. there is heavy shelling this morning. live to sam kylie. sam, hello. what are you hearing? >> well, hearing is quite literally what we've been doing here, hearing and cowering along with the rest of the population. about every five to ten minutes, i'd say, we can hear a barrage usually of missiles being fired from the russian controlled side of the river. where i'm standing here is in freedom square. this is where you remember there were those enormous celebrations just a few months ago when this city was liberated from russian occupation. the russians are about 500 meters in that direction. straight down the main drag on the other side of the river. and they're firing into the town very regularly, direct fire with -- there you go.
3:03 am
two detonations. direct fire with either tanks or sometimes indirect fire with mortars. a lot of multiple rocket launching systems. last night, two people according to the local authorities were killed in -- on the outskirts of the city. that's become all too routine. rather than being a -- excuse me -- a city full of people celebrating liberation, most people are asked to leave. those that remain behind really only turn up in this central area seeking help. we spoke to half a dozen people, mostly old people. some of them were mothers of young children who were in areas that are too dangerous for the emergency services to get to, asking us for help, asking us to direct them as to where they might get food, water and other sm supplies. >> you see our sam kylie on the ground. heavy shelling is going on. how long has this been happening? seems quiet where you r is this
3:04 am
intermittent? >> it's anything but quiet. it just doesn't happen to have gone off -- in fact, it did go off at the beginning of our live. it may well go off again. we're a little bit away from the main focus of the shelling. it is extremely dangerous. it's been going on for several months and escalating very significantly. >> okay. sam kylie, we'll check back with you, thank you very much. happening out of that war. it's been going on -- >> almost a year. you were there. it's a very busy among on capitol hill. the president is attending the national prayer breakfast. a lot going on in the background. one of the busiest days, i he believe. >> yeah. it's going to be busy. this is president biden's first time on the hill as we're seeing all of the debt talks -- debt ceiling talks going on. you saw that rare meeting with kevin mccarthy yesterday. 90 minutes long, actually. they had been jousting going
3:05 am
into that meeting. you saw kevin mccarthy emerge with a much much different tone coming out of it saying he is optimistic they can find some common ground. he says it is a series of meetings they're likely to have. despite that optimism, there are big questions. one is this demand from republicans that they cut spending in order to raise the debt ceiling. the question is where are the cuts going to come from? and kevin mccarthy said, you know, not medicare or social security but big questions about defense and other areas that they would try to cut from. i think the biggest question that is a lot of hill reporters have is even if the president and kevin mccarthy docome to a deal, can he get the republican conference to get behind? we see how divided they are. so i think gig questions about that. we'll see if president biden talks about police reform while he's here on capitol hill. the conversation that's have been a focus since what we saw in memphis with tyre nichols. i think those are just two
3:06 am
aspects of a lot going on here in washington, in addition to that search yesterday of the president's rehoboth beach home. we should note, the attorney said they did not find classified documents. >> we saw a video of him leaving yesterday in what i thought was interesting is he said i don't want to share much of my conversation with the president. i thought that was very good. >> yeah. >> keep it tight. >> i was going to ask before you go. i was thinking about what happened in 2011 when it was then vice president biden leading the negotiations with republicans in the house, with speaker boehner and eric kanter and what came from that and where ended up. they had the dollar for dollar spending cut deal. then it ends in sequestration, and just lessons from that and how that has informed all the failures eventually from that and how that is informed biden's position now. >> we talk about what this means for the average american.
3:07 am
how it would really put the united states on the breach of a cross-ice whis it en it comes t u.s. economy. technically, they already hit the limit. they have a few emergency measures. you heard republicans say that, yeah. when biden was vice president, he was involved in the negotiations. of course, he was vice president then. the white house's stance is they're not going to negotiate over the debt ceiling per se. if they have other talks going on the sidelines where they can go after spending, that remains to be seen. that is an experience that shaped how republicans are viewing this and how the white house is viewing this. it's a very different white house and a very different republican party at these talks right now. >> very different when you're the actual president. >> totally. and new rules in the house. thank you. >> we'll see you in a bit. >> the american economy, we were talking about the debt ceiling, is at a critical point. just at a glance, there is an increase in job openings.
3:08 am
the fed did raise the befnchmar interest rate. president biden as we said met with leader kevin mccarthy. an and mcdonald's reported a big increase in sales. a lot of people opting in for less expensive foods because of a possible recession? maybe that's in. our chief business correspondent here to break it down. >> eight times. and can i tell you, the 25 basis points last march and then just steady increase again and again and then 25 basis points yesterday, the fed chief says there is more to be done. inflation is starting to turn. >> it really put it in perspective. eight times. >> in a year. >> can i show you, so now you have official interest rates that are knocking on the door of 5%. but it's so interesting. banks savings rates are under
3:09 am
1%. s savers have not felt the higher interest rates. but if you borrow, you felt the pain of them. that's an unfortunate way the system is working here. there it is. look at the federal funds rate has gone up. the money you get from putting your non a bank has not. unless you have a lot of cash and people are searching for yield. there is another number we saw yesterday that got my attention. 11 million open jobs in america. 11 million! that's help wanted signs in leisure and hospitality, construction, hotels. that's two open jobs for every person looking for one. when we heard so much about tech layoffs, you guys, this tells you that employers don't want to let go of people and they want to hire good people if they can. so that's a good position to come from heading into what could be an uncertain area. >> for sure. >> all right. we'll see you soon. >> okay. >> could be another rate hike in this broadcast. appreciate it. more charges could be coming in memphis following the death of tyre nichols. the shelby county district
3:10 am
attorney is looking for charges. >> it's fair to say that the incident report that has gone public does not match up on all fours with what one sees when one looks at the video that's been released. >> hundreds mourn nichols at his funeral service yesterday including kamala harris and al sharpton. straight now to ryan young live in memphis. good morning to you. a very motional day yesterday. the investigation continues. can you tell us what the da is saying wheeand who may be the tt of these potential charges? >> don, they're going to go through all that video to make sure everyone involved in that scene actually will face charges if they need to. there is an administrative procedural investigation going on at the police department. they're doing a separate investigation.
3:11 am
but all eyes yesterday on the family of tyre nichols. tyre was a beautiful person. and for this to happen to him, is just unimaginable. >> reporter: a good-bye to a beloved son. ♪ >> reporter: moving tributes. ♪ don't put out the fire ♪ >> reporter: and a call for change. >> we have to fight for justice. >> yeah. >> we cannot continue to let these people brutalize our kids. >> reporter: grieving family and friends celebrating the live of tyre nichols today. >> the only thing keeping me going is the fact that i really believe mys son is sitting here beside me from god. i see the world showing him love and fighting for his justice. but all i want is my baby brother back. >> i'm just trying to go home. don't i deserve to feel safe?
3:12 am
>> reporter: a young father, artist and skateboarder who died after a violent encounter with police. >> this is a family that lost their son and brother through an act of violence at the hands and the feet of people who had been charged with keeping them safe. >> reporter: a service painfully familiar for black communities in america. >> we serve notice to this nation that the rerun of this episode that makes black lives hash tags will not be renewed for another season. >> reporter: the videos of the brutal police beating were released less than a week ago. and more videos of the incident are expected to be released soon. the it iscity is going to invese and the nichols family and attorneys have seen the audio and video footage. >> there's a lot of footage,
3:13 am
maybe as much as 20 hours. some of it may be more relevant because of the audio. a lot of it depicts things that take place, you know, after the beating has already occurred and, you know, people are sort of talking afterwards, even after the ambulance takes mr. nichols away. >> reporter: the shelby county district attorney's office tells cnn that the office is continuing to investigate potential charges on false reporting on the initial police report. it kriktscontradicts some of th events in video seen by police. they're continuing to examine possible charges for a, quote, every other officer and fire department personnel at the scene. even as questions in this case linger, the call for change is clear. >> we're going to change this country because we refuse to keep living under the threat of the cops and the robbers. >> don, something that stood out
3:14 am
to me yesterday watching the funeral is the role that women were playing in this funeral. you think about his mom stepping up and giving that emotional speech. had is sister and then all the other mothers who showed up who also had sons or daughters who were victims of what they call police brutality with something to see. >> not to mention the vice president of the united states playing a big role as well. ryan in memphis, thank you. nice job. appreciate it. testimony resumes this morning in alex murdaugh's double murder trial in south carolina. prosecutors presented pivotal evidence of cell phone video undercuts his alibi the night his wife and son were brutally murdered. randi kaye is covering the trial. she joins us live again. good morning. >> good morning, poppy. that's right. al alex murdaugh said he was napping.
3:15 am
now there is cell phone video that puts him right. there the question for the jury is if he was there, why did he say he wasn't? >> reporter: this is the video prosecutors believe puts alex murdaugh at the murder scene. a computer crimes expert testifying for the state said he extracted this video from his phone several months after his death. the video shows a dog. but it's no the what the jury sees on the video that is critical to the state's case. it's what they hear on it. >> what do you hear on the video? >> you hear three different voices in the video. you can tell because they're so different. can you tell that they're vifrn voices. >> listen closely. >> the state is going to publish this video. it is not under seal. >> he has a bird in his mouth. >> hey bubba.
3:16 am
>> it's a guinea. >> it's a chicken. >> the time that the video was taken is key to the prosecutors' case. >> what time was that video recorded? >> the camera begins at 8:44:49 p.m. >> and ends when? >> at 8:45:47 p.m. sfwlt witness told the jury the video was taken 8:45 p.m. on june 7th, 2021, the night of the murders. alex murdaugh told investigators at least twice that he wasn't at the kennels earlier in the night. his 911 call puts him at the scene at 10:07:00 p.m. but this audio of him would undercut his alibi and put alex murdaugh with the victims at the time of the murders. at the time their cell phones ceased all activity and locked. that was about 8:49 p.m. >> were there any ever calls made? >> no, sir, no the that i found. >> were there ever any other
3:17 am
calls that were answered, incoming calls answered on paul's phone? >> no, sir. >> alex murdaugh was not identified by prosecutors on the video. but this witness rogan gibson testified that paul was sending the video in question to him that night. so gibson could -- >> do you recognize the voices on there? >> i did. >> you recognize the voices of your second family? >> i did. >> and what voices did you hear? >> paul and miss maggie and alex. >> how sure are you now? >> positive. >> 100%? >> yes. >> it seemed to backfire. >> you heard a voice say no, it's a chicken. do you remember whose voice that was? >> that was mr. alex that said it first time and paul also said it was a chicken. >> it only got worse for the
3:18 am
defense when paul's long time friend and roommate will loving said he heard alex on the recording too. >> how sure are you? >> 100%. >> the person whose voice you recognize on there that you identify as alex murdaugh, do you see him in the courtroom today? >> yes, sir. >> can you point him out for the jury? >> he's sitting right there. >> and, poppy, whatever happened that night happened very, very fast. we know that video was recorded 8:45 p.m. we also know from testimony that paul pmurdaugh and then he got text at 8:47 and then at 8. 49 he got a text that he never read. >> a search of president biden's beach home turns up nothing. >> plus he is a veteran that accused george santos of

3:23 am
vacation home on wednesday. this as the president's handling of classified documents has continued to dog the white house. >> i don't want to speak too much to the doj's practices in an on going investigation. i can say that we have cooperated fully. the president's personal attorneys provided information to doj. we addressed openly and directly the searches that were conducted first at the president's wilmington residence and then today at the rehoboth residence. >> paula reid is joining us. this is the third property of president biden's searched. one question i had immediately upon learning about this is why were they searching it now? >> originally the president's personal team after they found the documents knew it and they searched the wilmington home and the rehoboth home. once this became a full blown investigation that fbi would want to conduct their own
3:24 am
searches. ten days ago we saw them do the own search of the wilmington home and then very much kmeexped that this home would also be searched. what strikes me is there is clea clearly a desire to move quickly here. >> i think that is an important part of this. it was reporters who spotted the sedans and suvs going to this house. people started asking about this. the special counsel though started. he is going to be overseeing this. once you get started, what does that look like? why does he get started? what is the time line expectation? >> what we've had is a review. gathering facts, assessing whether they need to do a full blown investigation. now that herr is on the job, he'll have the opportunity to use a grand jury. we expect he'll do that. he'll conduct interviews. most interviews have been informal. he'll be able to interview and reinterview people. then the question about additional searches. yesterday the white house was asked if any other locations were searched. they wouldn't answer.
3:25 am
that is par for the course. they chose to instead of getting out in front of things, letting the process play out and also letting the news leak out. >> the big question, they said no classified documents, they did take personal notes relating to his time as vice president. paula reid, you'll stay on. this thank you so much for doing so. all right. welcome back. hunter biden is fighting back with a new legal strategy. he is calling for a criminal investigation into a computer repair shop owner and former president trump ally over spreading of personal data reported to be from his laptop. evan perez now. good morning to you, sir. seems like this hunter biden thing just keeps legs, more legs, more legs. this is quite the tone shift for hunter biden team. >> it really is. what he's trying to do is he's trying to turn the tables on the people who really have been attacking him over the last
3:26 am
couple of years. and in these letters to the delaware state attorney general, to the justice department, to the irs, what hunter biden and lawyers are asking for is criminal investigations of the computer repair salesman that -- the shop owner and rudy giuliani and a number of right-wing figures. in the case of john paul, he is the one that actually accessed the personal data on a laptop that he says hunter biden dropped off back in 2019. reading a part of what hunter biden's attorney says in his letters, he says that intentional, reckless and unlawful conduct allowed for hundreds of gigabytes of mr. biden's personal data without any information to be circulated around the internet. he said this is a dirty trick that was used -- trying to use his personal data to weaponize it against his father. >> i find this term to be really
3:27 am
fascinating. he hires abby lowell, a really well known representative which i thought was interesting that, you know, the other side of the legal team is saying he just got this fancy lawyer, et cetera, instead of brushing off the strategy change. but isn't it significant that his legal team now is saying for the first time, yes, this is hunter biden's personal data that is being trafficked? >> yeah. that's a really -- certainly the biggest thing we noticed is for a couple years now, hunter and his lawyers have basically tried to not comment at all on these stories. and what they're trying to do now is say these people have actually broken the law. as you know, poppy and don, he's under investigation for -- a criminal investigation by the justice department. so this allows him to fight on another stage. >> we'll watch all, evan. >> ahead, outrage in ohio over a nazi home schooling network. reportedly using hitler quotes as an educational resource.

this morning, college board unveiling a revised framework for its new advance placement course on african american studies. it covers 79 topics ranging from early african kingdoms to black americans. achievementes in science, music, and art. but critics are saying the changes were made to appease florida governor ron desantis who rejected the original curriculum last month. we have a reporter live in miami. good morning. how does this newly revised version differ from the original curriculum? >> good morning, don. you know, the college board, those responsible for creating this program will tell you this revised version takes into account the feedback from students and teachers and experts that were engaged in the
3:33 am
pilot program not politicians. but it is that initial framework that florida took issue with when they rejected the program. we're waiting to hear from floor if they'll accept this new version to find out if ap african american studies will be taught in classrooms here in florida. >> from this moment it was never the same. >> reporter: the man was arthur mcduffy, a black father beaten by police officers in 1979. what the officers were acquitted, riots followed. >> so it happened right here? >> right here. >> reporter: places like this central to treech the tuj tours, an effort to shed light on the history he says many students don't learn about in the classroom. >> there is now an effort in florida to cherry pick history. and when you start cherry picking history, you need to
3:34 am
make sure you don't have somebody doing that who hates cherries. >> reporter: the latest controversy on advanced place meant african american study course, the college board, the nonprofit that oversees the program revised the course work. they rejected the initial proposal saying it was, quote, inexplicably contrary to florida law and lacks educational value. ron desantis to this point is very critical of the pilot program. >> we have history in a lot of different shapes and sizes. people that participated to make the country great. people that stood up when it wasn't easy. they deserve to be taught. >> last year florida passed legislation known as the stop woke act. it barred instruction that suggests anyone is privileged or pressed based on race or skin
3:35 am
color. the state's objections to the ap course stemmed from proposed course work written a year ago for the pilot program. they provided cnn with a copy of the curriculum reviewed. black feminist literary thought and others, citing concerns about the works of specific authors and scholars. >> this course on black history, what is one of the lessons about? fear theory. now who would say an important part of history is queer theory? that is somebody pushing an agenda on our kids. >> but in the newly released official framework, unit four does not include any of the authors or scholars that the state listed as a concern. queer theory and black lives matter still mentioned in the course but only as ideas for potential student project
3:36 am
topics. were any objections made by the state of florida? >> no. if that were the case, if the state of florida or any state could single-handedly alter the curriculum of african american studies, the ap african american studies, it would actually undermine the integrity of the process that we have in place. >> i learned a lot. >> c.j. and t.j. brown and their moms who live in miami say they've been waiting for a course like this. they all attended a teach the truth tour and say they wouldn't know as much about their own history if it weren't for the courses taught by dunn. >> we learn about the same people every year, george washington carver, martin luther king jr., rosa parks. i feel like it's just the same stuff being taught to us and it's kind of like okay, they can note this. but that's it. >> i feel like if we don't learn this history, it may just repeat itself and going to keep going
3:37 am
on and on. we have to learn it to stop it. >> some parents welcome the scrutiny, alicia smith said she wouldn't mind if her daughter took the course but some things are best taught at home. >> some things, like the queer studies, that may or may not offend some of the children. make them feel uncomfortable. >> as for professor dunn, he is part of a lawsuit against the state's stop woke law. being uncomfortable is part of learning and understanding the history that is often overlooked. >> look what happened here. there may have been massacres athe this spot. listen, every community in this country has spots like this. places where blacks have been abused, killed, and they've been forgotten about. >> and the governor's office tells us the department of education is currently reviewing this new version to see if it complies with the law. don?
3:38 am
>> all right. thank you very much. >> fascinating. so let's talk about this and a lot more with our cnn anchor. good morning to you. so let's start there on her reporting. she said this is because of input from professors. at the college board, we cannot look to statements of political leaders. what do you take from this? >> i've been listening to the college board president speak. he said they have time stamped records saying they were making adjustments to this course program. i think the broader context is more than a dozen states have passed critical race theory, sort of anti-critical race theory laws over the last year or two. and so florida could have been,
3:39 am
may be at the front of sort of a broader movement where people would be kind of more outspoken an more aggressive against educational institution that's talk about diversity or equity or inclusion in history or any other context, frankly. >> we had a similar conversation on the set a couple weeks ago regarding the books. similar thing here. i just wonder, it's black history month. she just mentioned in the story and the gentleman there talking about prison system. they want to outlaw or not teach about prison systems. which is very important. these are things that i didn't learn and win the to an all black catholic school. i wish it had been part of my curriculum. i didn't learn about it until i was much hold older.
3:40 am
he is a member of the lgbtq community. why is that so hard? why shouldn't people learn about that in florida and beyond? >> i think the broader framing of this question is what is the role of politics in our public education system? who makes the decisions about what is history and what is not history? and what does this mean for the republican party going forward if ron desantis moving towards a national movement? he is staking out ground that trump didn't in this area of education specifically. there's a lot of history with the party there with george bush, et cetera, where there was this idea that you could reach out to marginalized groups through education and through maybe the strains of conservatism there. people should not look at it as what's going on in florida. that seems weird. they hate history and more in the context of where is the
3:41 am
movement going that is against diversity? where is the movement going against inclusion that finds these things offensive that finds them racist. that is sort of counter arguing to it? how far will that national movement go? >> and it's really become this political tool. if you saw the illinois governor who we had on the show recently, he was, you know, saying don't change the course. don't modify it. that's giving into what he called the political grandstanding of people like governor ron desantis. >> he was trending on social media. i don't think it's an accident that it is black history month. this is very much waving a flag in the air and saying look at me, i'm fighting the wars you want me to fight to a specific demographic. i think at a certain point, especially after we just had this kind of beating death in memphis, you are kind of also kind of raising the alert for black voters who may in florida
3:42 am
