11:01 am
hello, everyone, i'm alisyn camerota. welcome to cnn newsroom. >> i'm victor blackwell. today the republican-led house voted to remove democrat ilhan omar from the foreign affairs committee. omar calls it revenge. it passed along a party line vote of 218-211. she faced backlash over her anti-israel comments in the past which were criticized by members of both parties as anti-semitic. before he was even house speaker, republican leader kevin mccarthy promised he would take this step. >> he claimed nancy pelosi set a precedent when she removed rips, marjorie taylor greene and paul gosar from committees, although that was for violent rhetoric and posts. omar told her colleagues, she's not going anywhere. >> i am muslim. i am an immigrant. and interestingly from africa.
11:02 am
is anyone surprised that i am being targeted? is anyone surprised that i am somehow deemed unworthy to speak about american foreign policies? and my leadership and voice will not be diminished. if i am not on this committee for one term. my voice will get louder and stronger. >> cnn's chief congressional correspondent manu raju is on capitol hill. kevin mccarthy, the speaker, just talked with reporters about this. what did he say? >> he defended the vote. he faced some criticism from a handful of members even though he did get support from all of his members except one who voted present. it was 218-211 along straight party lines but some members had concerns about the precedent they were setting. they believe it went further than what democrats did. they said they shouldn't engage in this revenge or tit for tat.
11:03 am
they said they should focus on other issues. nancy mace raised concerns about this. tony gonzalez raised concerns about it. mace got some changes to allow -- to give more due process or allow for a future process to allow some members to appeal the potential of getting kicked off committees. but i put that question directly to the speaker whether or not he was engaging in tit for tat and if that is the message that voters sent to this new republican party that just took power. >> no. that's the clear part is that it's not tit for tat. we are not removing her from other committees. we do not believe when it comes to foreign affairs, especially the responsibility of that position around the world with the comments that you make. she shouldn't serve this. if it was tit for tat, we would have picked people, took them
11:04 am
all off committee. we don't believe in that. >> reporter: mccarthy said he and hakeem jeffries had discussions to avoid what is happening, but not only with ilhan omar but denying the two democrats off the intelligence committee. he can do that because of the special nature of that intelligence committee. this required a vote of the full house. some members just were uncomfortable in going this route. mccarthy wants a new way to deal with this given concern from his own conference this is not what they want to focus on. nevertheless, he got the support of his members and now ilhan omar won't be on that committee. plenty of positivity but no signs of progress in the standoff over the nation's debt. both speaker mccarthy and president biden were optimistic after that meeting yesterday. >> if this is not resolved, the issue could lead to a historic default on the debt which
11:05 am
experts predict would result in an economic crash, job losses and more. phil mattingly is here. both the president and the speaker said they did not change their positions. so now what? >> reporter: at the risk of defining the term productive, to some degree just the pafact tha they met, met for more than an hour and had what they framed a productive conversation was about a start. they were about a half inch further than the day before. both sides were dug in but also caustic in terms of the political attacks going back and forth between riepublicans in te house and the white house. this will be a months-long process between white house officials, the speaker and likely the president as well. i think the idea of trying to take the temperature down a little bit, particularly for two politicians who are very much known for their ability to work with other members and to engage across the aisle is important. it's something the president
11:06 am
alluded to this morning at the national prayer breakfast. take a listen. >> start treating each other with respect. that's what kevin and i are going to do. not a joke. he had a good meeting yesterday. i think we've got to do it across the board. it doesn't mean we're going to agree, fight like hell, but let's treat theach other with respect. >> reporter: and that seems a little simplistic or idealistic based on how this town has operated for the better part of a decade. but it underscores the fact they believe the conversation has started, it's an important one. they don't have an end game but the fact they're talking is important. >> the president also has police reform on his agenda today. tell us about this oval office meeting coming up. >> it's something that members of the congressional black caucus called for in the beating death of tyre nichols by police
11:07 am
officers. in the last congress it did not get over the finish line, it fell apart in the senate. the members there, senator cory booker, raphael warnock, sheila jackson lee, jim clyburn are critical members to try to find a pathway to restart those kvr conversations but see what the president can do on his own. he's signed executive orders and gone further than others on that issue. i've been told that members have ideas that perhaps the president could pursue going forward. that will be something that comes up. obviously a critical meeting but no path forward on this meeting when it comes to congress. >> phil mattingly, thank you for that. let's turn to democratic congress ann sheila jackson lee, a member of the congressional black caucus who will be at this meeting later today. congresswoman, good to have you
11:08 am
today. you were in memphis at the funeral for tyre nichols which was as much of a call for action as it was a celebration of life. take us inside this meeting today. what will you be taking to the president? what's the strategy to get it passed? >> victor, the first thing i'd like to do having been at the funeral is again offer my deepest sympathy to the wells family, to the extended family of tyre nick hols, his beloved n and all the others devastated by his death. so there was a sense of urgency for police reform, but it really should be a call to action for all of america. and i asked the question would any american want their loved one to be beaten to death on the streets of this country. and so for that reason i think a meeting today called by the congressional black caucus and our chairman, we're delighted to be part of this working team as
11:09 am
i'm a member of the judiciary committee, the crime subcommittee ranking member, is that we are not turning any corner without a sense of hope. we're not closing any door. we know that we have to do something because in the halftime three years when george floyd, who was born and raised in houston, texas, nothing has been able to move forward. not because or lacking of the work of those of us in the house, the congressional black caucus and many in the senate, but it still means we have work to do. >> congresswoman, hope is one thing, strategy is another. this could not get to the president's desk in the last congress and democrats had control of the house then. the house passed it and couldn't get it through the senate. now republicans have control of the house. again, what's the strategy? how do you get it to president biden to sign? >> interestingly enough, elements of the george floyd bill, which i'd say 70% plus, were bipartisan provisions that
11:10 am
many in the judiciary committee, in the house republicans joined in, many in the senate. so i think what we are going to do is not presuppose what's going to happen at this meeting but we have more in common than we have differences. if we can focus on the fact that we believe that protect and serve is the highest element of service for law enforcement, that this is not a condemnation of the vast thousands of police officer, it is a recognition that 18,000 police departments need guidance from the federal government. i think we can find common ground with republicans in the senate and in the house. there are other pathways such as an executive order. our purpose needs to be that failure is not an option. so, victor, i do believe that there is common ground. when you look at the landscape, look at the condemnation that came out. the fraternal order of police came out and said this was heinous behavior -- >> but congresswoman, we had all of that condemnation after the
11:11 am
murder of george floyd. we had condemnation in cities across the country that didn't have large black populations, in cities you would not see these types of rallies and protests and still it did not reach the president, but let me move on -- >> if i might, victor, it was clearly negotiations preceded. and yes, there was one element in the senate that just would not proceed. we now know that we cannot let any stop sign stop us from doing what people wanted three years ago. i think this is a totally different climate. i think this is totally different circumstances. people are returwondering what' going to happen next? the urgency is here, i believe we can get something done. >> ben crump said that you're going to introduce the tyre nichols duty to intervene. is that going to be part of this legislation? and tell us what it is. >> it is already in the existing bill, george floyd justice and
11:12 am
policing, but i believe in the words of tyre's mother the duty to care needs to be elevated. so yes, we want to look at that provision and pay tribute to her son by having that section about duty to care, that is part of the duty of intervention, but also as you recall, emts and others came forward. they got no direction from those officers. the officers were in control of the scene. it was a crime scene, to be honest. there was no urgency to rush this victim to the hospital. and so the duty to care would be in tribute to tyre. >> congresswoman sheila jackson lee, thank you so much. let's go to congresswoman ilhan omar who is speaking -- >> we'll get to that in a second, victor. first, prosecutors investigating the tyre nichols beating say there's roughly 20 more hours of video still to be released. >> we don't know when that video
11:13 am
will be made public, but we do know that prosecutors are already weighing additional charges other false reporting. it ties back to the initial police report and multitude of contradictions between what officers said happened and what was seen in the released video. nick valencia is following this. nick, tell us about this now footage that's coming, the unseen footage. >> reporter: it notably includes audio of what officers were saying after they beat up tyre nichols and it shincludes what s said at the scene after nichols was transported to the hospital in critical condition. one of the questions we have is why police stopped nichols to begin with. initially we were told because of reckless driving. later the police chief clarified and said there's no evidence of that. so will this video and audio provide a better understanding of why the police pulled him over in the first place. listen to the district attorney who was on our air yesterday with wolf blitzer telling us what we should expect in this
11:14 am
video and satisfying a lot of i what happens after the beating. >> there's a lot of footage, maybe as much as 20 hours, and some of it i think may be more relevant because of the audio and a lot of it depicts things that take place after the beating has already occurred. people are sort of talking afterwards. even after the ambulance takes mr. nichols away. >> we still have no team line as to when we will see that audio and video. the district attorney says it's up to the city of memphis and the police department when they will release that. earlier this morning the police department telling cnn they are working on a strategy and plan of how and when to release that audio and video. >> nick, we're also waiting on autopsy and toxicology reports. when will we get those? >> not only official toxicology report but the final independent autopsy that was done and conducted by an independent pathologist. the family hired an independent pathologist to look into that.
11:15 am
we were given preliminary findings which showed extensive bleeding caused by severe bleeding. we're still waiting. this story is far from over, guys. >> nick valencia, thank you. soon the fbi is expected to search former vice president mike pence's house in indiana and office in d.c. for additional classified materials. we have new details ahead. and hunter biden's attorneys are calling for investigation about who they say shared conc contents f his laptop.p. we'll discuss. ! we gotta go again. only pay for what you need. ♪libeberty liberty liberty♪ ♪liberty♪ 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 mont cabenuva helps keep me undetectable. it's two injecons, given by my healthcare provider, every other month. it's one less thing to think about while traveling.

11:20 am
department, at least that's the thinking inside the justice department. so for the pence team, they have been talking to the fbi and jamie gangel and i are told that they have been trying to arrange for a consensual search to be done both at the home in carmel, indiana, and at a think tank office which is right across the street from the fbi building here in washington. the idea being that if you can try to make sure that the fbi does these searches, doesn't find anything, they can try to complete this investigation as soon as possible. >> let's turn to some of your other reporting today about president biden's son and his counterstrategy against the republican quest to investigate him. what do you know? >> reporter: right, exactly. this is an attempt to turn the tables on some of the right-wing media figures who have been going after hunter biden. have sent letters to the attorney general in delaware as well as to the justice department and the irs asking
11:21 am
for a number of investigations, including against the computer repair shop owner who first said that he had this laptop that belonged to hunter biden. of course it blew up in the media in 2020 just before the 2020 presidential election. of course rudy giuliani, some of the other figures that you see on your screen are people who were involved in trying to disseminate some of the contents of said laptop. hunter biden says that this is a violation of his privacy, obviously. he says some of his data was stolen, inappropriately accessed and distributed. i'll read you just part of a letter from abby lowell, his new lawyer, who says this failed, dirty political trick directly resulted in the exposure, exploitation and manipulation of mr. biden's private and personal information. and, you know, this information, according to hunter biden and his team, has really been
11:22 am
weaponized against him and his father. this is why you see now republicans are organizing hearings. they say they're going to investigate, spend more time investigating hunter biden. of course the backdrop of all of this is that the justice department separately has an investigation going into hunter biden for tax issues and his purchase of a gun. that is something that is still pending. >> a lot going on. evan perez, thanks so much. in the slew of ongoing inquiries into the truth challenged congressman, george santos, federal investigators just interviewed a navy veteran who says he was scammed by the republican lawmaker in 2016. rich ossoff claims santos stole money from a gofundme set up for his dog. he said santos ran off with

11:28 am
there's been another round of deadly russian missile strikes in eastern ukraine. this is the aftermath in a hub city. it said as you see here there are flames in the air, people running for shelter. >> our own cnn team, including fred pleitgen, had just arrived at the scene to document search and rescue efforts when the missiles struck. >> reporter: there had been a missile strike in that town overnight last night that killed several people, flattened a building, a huge missile that the russians shot right into the center of town. there was a big search and rescue operation still going on because the ukrainians believed that there are still people and were still people trapped underneath the trouble -- rubble. we had just arrived on the scene, had parked our vehicles, gotten out of those vehicles
11:29 am
when they're missile struck in the exact building that we were parked in front of. so we heard a loud bang. there were a lot of civilians on the street, many of them trying to take shelter. we did the same thing. we then went towards another building to try and take shelter there. as i looked up, i saw another missile that then hit almost the exact location, obviously causing a huge explosion there, leading to even more people trying to flee the scene. we then tried to run for cover, went for shelter, and then after a while tried to get out of there. but i think one of the things that's very important to point out is that there was a big search and rescue operation going on on the ground and the russians targeted exactly the area where that search and rescue operation was going on. this was not a military facility. we saw no military facilities in that area. we saw a lot of civilians in that area. this was right in the center of town. certainly we later got word from the ukrainians who said they believe that these were s-300
11:30 am
missiles that were used in these streaks by the russian military. now, those are normally missiles that are used to try and take down airplanes at high altitudes. they're very powerful missiles. they also have a ground-to-ground configuration. but when they are used against surface targets they are extremely inaccurate. if they're used against surface targets in densely populated areas, you have the potential to cause extreme harm. the ukrainians are saying that there were several people who were wounded in this one. obviously several people killed the night before. so certainly a lot of carnage in the center of town as we see some of those population centers under attack from those missiles launched from the russian side. >> very close call for our team. fred pleitgen, thanks so much. defense secretary lloyd austin announcing a deal to increase america's presence in the philippines. this gives the u.s. access to four more military sites and creates the largest american
11:31 am
military in the region in decades. >> tensions between china and taiwan escalate and there are fears of a potential china invasion. oren is live at the pentagon. so what are you hearing? >> reporter: this is part of an expansion of military reegsz between the u.s. and the philippines. access to more bases in the philippines. from china's perspective that means perhaps a greater u.s. military presence close to china and close to taiwan. this is where the u.s. currently has access to military bases -- this is lloyd austin in the philippines where the agreement was reached. this is the map where the u.s. currently has access. this will expand for four more basis. neither the u.s. or philippines will name those bases. but we know the u.s. was interested in the north closer to taiwan as well as in the western philippines. that's why china has accused the
11:32 am
u.s. of having a selfish agenda and blamed washington for being the one that was responsible for regional instability. this is all part of a forced posture shift towards china and towards the indo-pacific region. it's the expanded military access to the philippines. it's a revamped unit in okinawa. fairly close to taiwan on the north side with advanced capabilities and a newly opened marine corps base on guam so just east of the philippines there. all of that is an effort to shift the pentagon's focus to china with growing concerns over china's intend towards taiwan and fears of an invasion of taiwan in the coming years. there's also a bigger picture perspective. the former philippines president had shiftedbeijing. the current president, although he's working very carefully with beijing, is realigning the philippines back towards the
11:33 am

former south carolina governor nikki haley is expected to announce her run for president this month. she would be the first republican to get in the race besides donald trump. meanwhile, the former maryland governor is clarifying his comments on supporting an eventual gop nominee, writing on twitter that he will not commit to supporting donald trump because donald trump will not commit to backing a gop
11:38 am
candidate if it is not him. joining us now is another republican considering a 2024 bid, new hampshire governor chris sununu. hi, governor. >> hey, how are you? >> i'm doing well. so we know that you are actively considering a presidential run. former governor nikki haley is expected to make it official in the next two weeks. does that change your calculation? >> oh, no, not at all. let me say i think nikki is great. i think she could be a great president. what i'm really trying to do is not just consider the run, but i'm trying to bridge the gap that i see between the traditional republicans and the next generation. i'm trying to make sure we broaden our base and make sure woe stay positive, we stay excited, we're uplifting and show the results. people wanting not just somebody that can win a naum nation. but the most important thing is we elect the best conservative that can win in '24 and get results in '25. by showing that new hampshire model and some of the successes we brought here, we're trying to
11:39 am
get people excited so we hit the ground running with wherever the election may take us. >> but isn't nikki haley also the next generation? >> oh, absolutely. but whether it's her, whether it's myself or others, we all, it's not just a one-person mission. as a team we have to be broadening ourself and understanding what are the priorities of the next generation of republican. what's going on with the independents that will be coming out and ultimately deciding this election in november of '24. so i think all of us have that responsibility not just to stay in our lane and what is the political point we're going to make today but using some of our experiences and successes to broaden the base. >> jim gerety of the national review has written an editorial and is 'em imploring you not to. basically he fears that a crowded field will splinter the field to the advantage of donald trump. he writes there's already one
11:40 am
clear nontrump alternative, florida governor ron desantis. if sununu is serious, he'll need to present a case of why he's a better alternative than a guy already beating trump in early polls and has not declared himself as a candidate yet. so what's your response to that? >> well, that's not news to anybody. everybody knows that a crowded field could potentially be problematic and hand it to donald trump with maybe 25% of the vote or something like that. nobody wants to see that. understand, there is a long way to go. there is a year to go before the first of the nation primary right here in new hampshire and there's a lot of politics to be played out. i don't mind who gets in the race but we all definitely need -- but we need the discipline to get out of the race if it is not happening. desantis is definitely doing well. i think he would do well in new hampshire if the election were today, but it's not. there's a lot of politics to play. to say everyone is just going to take a back seat without making
11:41 am
sure that not only are we presenting our case, but we're presenting a case again to the republican party, where the party is going to go, what we are going to be about. i agree with ron in a lot of things, we differ in others. we definitely differ in steyle. to say we're going to hand it over a year before the first primary doesn't really make any sense. >> do you commit to supporting the gop nominee, whoever it is. >> yes. i'm a republican. i'm going to support the republican nominee because i can guarantee they're better than any of the democrats that will likely sit in that presidential seat. >> even if it's donald trump. >> yeah. i don't think it's going to be donald trump but yeah, i'm going to support the republican nominee, to be sure. >> because i think that you did at a dinner call donald trump effing crazy. >> yeah, that was funny. it was a roast. it was a funny joke. couple things. let's take a step back. first, i don't think joe biden will be the only nominee on the democrat side. there's no doubt the left wing
11:42 am
isn't going to hand over the next six years to that guy. there's going to be challenges. there's going to be a lot of politics to be played out. again, if you're satisying i wouldn't support the nominee because i made a joke at the roast, it was a good joke. i take pride in that, i got a lot of laughs. >> it is a funny joke and sometimes there's a german of truth to jokes. if what you feel, why would you support him? >> i made a lot of jokes about my own family, about joe biden and jen psaki. i make jokes about everybody. look, the fact that you have so many politicians in this world that take themselves so seriously, everyone has lost a sense of humor, there's no sense of lightening the mood a little bit. we have very serious jobs. but believe me, the job is a lot bigger than ourselves, okay? so the fact that someone might say something humorous or whatever doesn't qualify or disqualify them from anything. like i said, there's a lot of

politics to be played out. i think people will look at not just who can win but who can get stuff done. people wanted me to run -- are talking to me about running for president because of the results we have here in new hampshire. wee no sales tax, no income tax, the lowest poverty rate, number one in individual liberties. we are very proud of that record. 49 other states would love that to come to the rest of the country. if we can be a model for that and i can shepherd that through, so be it. >> it's also generous to say you would support donald trump because he did not extend that same courtesy to you or any other candidate today. >> are you surprised? donald trumpes is about donald trump. i don't think anybody should be shocked by that statement. >> back to ron desantis. the point in that editorial is there is already a trump alternative that has had great success in his own state. how would you differ from ron
11:44 am
desantis? >> are you saying i haven't had great success in your state? >> no. no, no, no, to be honest, you have. but you've said i have great success in my state and ron desantis could say the same thing, so what does distinguish you? >> well, a couple things. first, you have to as a leader, i always have to be willing to fight for what we believe in strong. but you cannot be an individual that is only defined by the fight. ron and i differ that i believe this woke cancel culture nonsense is destroying our communities but i don't believe government is the solution. if you're a private business, i might disagree with what your private business is doing but that doesn't mean i'm going to use government to penalize you because we disagree on something. i'm going to lead by example. there's just a variety of ways we'll differ ourself. nikki will do it, vice president pence will do it. a lot of candidates will potentially get in the racy e a
11:45 am
differentiate themselves. but voters will decide not only who can win the nomination and close the deal in '24 and work with congress, work with both sides of the aisle to actually get stuff done. if we're not getting stuff done, what's the point of all of this? >> so where do you think governor desantis is overreaching on the woke culture stuff. >> he has a different style and different approach in terms of using his position. i very much believe in cherish in local control and individual responsibility. i don't care what your politics are. as an individual, my job is to set up doors of opportunity and let you walk through them. i'm a principled free market conservative. that's really what i'm about here. so we just have different styles. i think he's a good governor. he handled the hurricane very well. i think he will do very well in new hampshire. if the election is today he would probably win in new
11:46 am
hampshire. we have very different styles and very different approaches. over time if i decide to get in the race or other candidates, we'll all have our opportunities to kind of have that out in a positive, constructive way and see who comes out on the top. >> governor chris sununu, thanks. great to talk to you. we appreciate your time. >> you bet. the use of ai chat bot chat gpt is sparking some serious concerns across several industries. and now that includes the medical field. what we're learning, next. before we head to break, live pictures from the white house where former president bill clinton has joined president biden and the vice president to mark the 30th anniversary of the family and medical leave act. so thank you. we hope you like your work.

perhaps you've heard how the artificial intelligence tool chatgpt is passing law school exams and writing college essays. now there's evidence it can answer advanced medical questions, the same ones used for medical licensing exams. >> jacqueline howard joins us now to break this down. this is scary. what's this mean? what's happening here? >> reporter: it's kind of creepy, but it shows that chatgpt can be a reliable tool for the medical field. what was found in one study that the chat bot was able to answer practice questions that are used for the u.s. medical licensing exam and it got those questions right more than half of the time. the study found it had a greater
11:52 am
than 50% accuracy across all practice questions and it exceeded 60% in most cases. that 60% is the threshold that researchers use to assess whether it hypothetically passed the exam. it appeared to do so in most cases cases. it shows it could be a reliable tool for writing reports, medical studies, possibly making diagnoses or developing treatment plans. that's the takeaway here. will it be a future doctor? probably not. it shows it could be a reliable tool in a way. >> i don't know. it all feels so space age. all brave new world. bots can't feel empathy like human doctors. we have heard about how medicine is becoming more personalized in the future. which one is going to win?
11:53 am
>> reporter: we need that human approach to make personalized medical decisions for patients, like you said, allison. this technology could possibly help with the decision making process. your doctor still needs to have that empathy, still needs to have that nuance to be able to develop personalized decisions. this technology could translate the medical jargon in a way that's easy for the patient to understand. it could help write pamphlets, your treatment plan, so you understand what your doctor's plan is. that's maybe where we see this technology heading in the future. we'll wait and see. >> yes, we will. jacqueline howard, thanks so much. it's your last chance to see a cosmic fly-by. we explain next.

11:59 am
that reaction creates this unusual green hue that you can see there. you know, when you think about comets, these are really just balls of freezing gas and dust traveling through our solar system. a lot of astronomers think of them as dirty snow balls. that's the way they're often described. this dirty snow ball making its closest approach to earth yesterday and today. you know, the other big question that people have, victor and allison, is how can i see it? the answer to that is your best bet is to just get somewhere away from a city. get out of new york city. get out of washington, d.c. find some dark skies, preferably with no clouds. a lot of folks are having luck seeing the comet with their naked eye, if you know where to look. it's advised if you can get your hands on binoculars or an amateur telescope that's going to help your chances of seeing it.
12:00 pm
it really is such a rare sight to see. i mean, think about this. this is a visitor from the icy, outer reaches of our solar system. it only comes here every 50,000 years or so. the last time during the stone age. i mean, just think how much has happened to this planet and this world in the time since it last made its close approach. >> what time on the east coast should we look for it? >> reporter: any time it's dark out really. a lot of times they say -- it just matters that it's dark, as dark as possible. not when the sun is coming up or down. >> all right. if ever i buy a race horse, name that horse -- >> green comet. >> dirty snow ball. appreciate that. >> kristen fisher, thank you. president biden is delivering rem
