we are going to breck down all of the top stories of the week. there is the, as you know, the suspected chinese spy balloon flying over the united states. officials telling cnn they have not ruled out the possibility of shooting it down. plus, president biden taking a bit of a victory lap over the jobs numbers that came in, claiming it proves critics of his policies are dead wrong. also, this week loved ones saying their final goodbyes to 29-year-old tyre nichols who died after a brutal police beating in memphis.

his grieving mother pleading for action on police reform. so what are lawmakers going to do? and more lies from george santos, the latest having to do with a broadway show. even "the great white way" can't escape this. the new reporting and what it means for the gop. let's start with the story we are all talking about this evening, the chinese spy balloon flying over the country tonight. cnn's alex marquardt has the latest. >> reporter: tonight u.s. officials tell cnn the u.s. has not ruled out shooting down the chinese spy balloon once there is no risk to civilians below. but secretary of state antony blinken telling reporters that china's flagrant violation of u.s. sovereignty forced him to postpone his trip to beijing. >> i made clear that the presence of this surveillance balloon in u.s. air pace is a clear violation of u.s. sovereignty and international law. it's an irresponsible act and

that the prc's decision to take this action is detrimental to the substantive discussions we were prepared to have. >> reporter: it would have been the administration's highest level trip to china so far. the state department said that the rare chinese apology today and their claim that the balloon was for civilian purposes floating off course did not change their minds. >> i can imagine what the reaction would be in china if they were on the other end. and what this has done is created the conditions that undermine the purpose of the trip. >> reporter: the balloon is flying at 60,000 feet up in the atmosphere, equipped with solar panels for power and a surveillance payload. the pentagon says steps have been taken to protect sensitive intelligence targets beneath it on the ground, which may include silos of minutemen 3 nuclear ballistic missiles in montana. u.s. officials have been tracking the balloon closely for several days, debating whether

to shoot it down and advising president joe biden it would be too dangerous. >> it doesn't pose a risk to people on the ground as it is traversing the continental united states. out of an abund essabundance of caution, we are reviewing option. >> reporter: data indicate the balloon may have originated with central china with weather patterns pushing it over pacific ocean, into canada and the united states where it has been crossing montana and into missouri. with current conditions it could continue east and enter the atlantic ocean from north carolina. it can maneuver itself and has changed course. currently floating over the central u.s., officials say, while offering little more on its precise location. >> certainly has the ability to look up in the sky and see where the balloon is. >> reporter: and they have. curiously, training eyes and cameras towards the skies. >> what planet is that?

>> reporter: pilots have reported seeing the balloon as they fly by at high altitude, reporting balloon sightings to air traffic control. unless this chinese balloon is shot down or brought down, the pentagon believes it will remain in u.s. airspace for the next few days. they will continue to watch it float across this country and they say they will keep their options open. meanwhile, at the state department the secretary of state antony blinken is saying that he will reschedule his trip to beijing when conditions allow. what those conditions are precisely they will not say, but it is clear, laura, that the temperature between the u.s. and china needs to come down dramatic laura. >> to weigh in, former white house senior director mayor hawk, kerry sheffield and donell harvin. i want to talk about all that we are seeing right now today. maybe with you, because you used to work at the state department.

i wonder how you explain this particular move by the chinese. if it in fact was intentional and not some inadvertent floating balloon that got off course, why now? this was a critical time when you have secretary of state antony blinken go. why now? >> this may not have been their intent. it's something they have done before, to have spy balloons up in the air and they can fly 30,000 feet higher than most of our capabilities to intercept them, like the different aircraft that we have. so there is an advantage that they have by having these balloons up there, but you are not supposed to have them be visible to the naked eye. regular old person in billings, montana, that eliminates the plausible deniability. when spying is public, it forces someone like blinken to publicly respond as opposed to the diplomatic maneuvers that could have happened behind closed doors. this visit was spimportant for e

chinese as well. the united states had strength, announced four new military maneuvers and engagements in the philippines. the biden administration has been very strong on the defense of taiwan. so the chinese were hoping to have some tampering down of tensions as well. unfortunately, that conversation is not going to happen right now as we're dealing with this. >> that point, you think about how it's being used and talked about the idea of what it looks like for the administration to be aware of this, to not shoot it down. obviously, there is a lot of now uns in this discussion as to the why. we heard earlier from colonel leighton about maybe they want to have it intact and having a coming down more natural, to confirm what it is and maybe use it to our advantage. about when you look at this from a political perspective, it's one thing to have it happen to impact diplomacy. what is it doing on the ground in terms of how biden is viewed? >> he is viewed with weakness. i do believe this was glidelibee

by the chinese. a great point, the united states was having robust position with a lot of positions of strength. so i think this was a move to say by the chinese to say we actually want to humiliate the united states a little bit and now we have word of a second balloon heading it to south america. i don't think it's an accident. we heard from the former chief of staff of the nsc and trump-era we have the capability to bring it down and contain for intelligence purposes. i think that's what we should do moving forward. >> it's interesting as to what our capacities are and, obviously, one would think that there are ways to do so, but we are looking at from a hollywood perspective what you see in a movie and think, oh, that happens every day without the n nuances politically that might be a considering for the existing administration as well. there is at lot more happening. this is a time when tensions have been heightened over several years. especially this last couple

weeks with the death of tyre nichols and the administration likely to focus on this in the upcoming state of the union address. i wonder what you make of the where we are right now in the ability of the government to legislate a solution to what has been a decades, if not century-long, problem? >> the ability is always there because we have a functioning government. >> but the appetite. >> it's the willpower. and we have seen numerous times family public call for police reforms, various reforms, and they just really don't happen. many of these law enforcement agencies are large and they get federal dollars. that should be used as some type of induce. for them to reform. not all police departments in this country have body-worn cameras. and we can imagine if they didn't have a bwc during this case, what type of stories would they make up? we have already seen them make up some stories that was -- that

was -- >> less than accurate. >> less than accurate, let's just say. the other thing is, you know, we have such a divided congress. congress people are walking into congress with lapel pins with ar-15s on them. that doesn't speak to a congress that's interested currently in protecting health and welfare of the american public. >> well, they would argue it's about the second amendment in part. i remember congressman bow bart speaking about this, about whether to be able to bring guns on the floor, et cetera. republicans are in the majority in the house. technically, even with the slim majority, they technically have the power to push measures. there is a slim majority, obviously, for democrats in the senate. whether it gets to biden's desk is a different scenario. does the republican party have an appetite for the type of reform that's being called for? we heard from republican incumbents talking about how difficult and saddened they were to see this video.

>> yeah, the video is heartbreaking. this man should not be dead. i mean, he should be alive and these cops need to be held accountable and prosecuted. senator tim scott who is a prominent republican, he has put forward a bill and he has called for police reforms. unfortunately, it's the democrats who have been obstructing him because the democrat base, which is the black lives matter base, wants to defund the police. and the truth of the matter is 10,000 black lives are destroyed every year through crime. only 20 lives are destroyed through unarmed police action, but the fact is the vast majority of those occur when there is some sort of attack on the police. but -- >> wait. i want to understand your numbers. the platform we have is so wide i'd like to make sure that they are accurate. the 20 number you referenced versus the 10,000, i assume you count in the fact that it's a disparate impact on black and brown people compared to white counterparts who are engaged in

criminal activity? >> harvard found there was no disparate impact in terms of lethal force on black versus white criminals. they found that there was no disparate impact. >> i want to finish a point. >> but as far as -- to my point earlier, senator scott who is a republican who i very much support, he has called for police reforms. but again the democrats are the purists here and they have rejected his reforms. that's what i would say. and i am sure he would be able to find people in the house to work with him on bringing some reform. >> i am curious about the stats you referenced. everything we read indicates the idea the disproportionate impact on black and brown in police encounters. what do you say, especially the notion of defund the police being the substantive base of the democratic party given that biden is never been for it and he is the leader of the democrats. >> yeah, nobody actually ran on

defund the police in the last election cycle as major candidate or any level and that is certainly a conversation in progressive circles but not a democratic party platform. to your question about numbers and data, what we know from federal law enforcement data and what police departments have reported, "the washington post" has a phenomenal police killing tracker, and that shows that there have been 1,200 black lives -- rather, 1,200 police killings in the last year alone. the majority of them have been black, disproportionately black, and even without all police departments reporting up. i think it's important to make that distinction between police killings of criminals and the police interactions with civilians and people who have not been charged with a crime and people killed like tyre nichols who absolutely had no indictment against him, had nothing, no warrant, had simply lost his life because he was pulled over in a traffic stop.

some of the rhetoric can get a little inflamed and i think that data clarifies and brings a little bit reality to the situation especially given the fact we grew up having seen the ram fi dags of rodney king's beating and having seen george floyd being murdered. that is a legal term now because he was convicted, derek chauvin was convicted of murdering and now charges of murder in the tyre nichols case. the idea this is simply something black families make up along the way as opposed to the evidence we have now of body cameras is important for all of us to acknowledge and reckon with, this is an integ really and unfortunate part of american society. to the senator tim scott, he worked with senator cory booker on the george floyd justice in policing act. unfortunately, he would not move on qualified immunity and very much in favor of what police unions want, which is to protect police officers from any sense of prosecution.

there is no meaningful police reform without holding police officers and police unions accountable. >> i will say -- >> qualified immunity is qualified. that has the purpose. i take issue with you saying that people don't believe that black families are impacted by this. i think that's very not true of how people are viewing this. i think in terms of the -- again the numbers, the police -- the focus of all of this media interest, what about the people whose black lives who were killed? again, 10,000 black lives are killed by other civilians. i mean, the reason why the police are here is because these cities are dangerous. and the fact of the matter is the -- you have -- on camera, nancy pelosi, kamala harris, many leaders in the democratic party endorsed this idea of defunding the police. you are seeing it across the -- >> i want to interject. i hate to interrupt you again, but i didn't hear her say the comment that you made. and i want to be clear that when

you are talking about the notion of what about black lives are lost in the hands of crime, i think you missed the mark nearly entirely because the focus of the police reform conversations, you are drawing a false equivalent between the idea about what a police officer and a fourth amendment veelation looks like and a separate issue apart from crime because i am sure you would understand and realize that unfortunately violent crime has an impact on more than just simply one race. and so are we not to look at what happens to white and latino and asian victims as well? because we are also talking about police reform. that's the embodiment of being able to walk and chew gum at the same time. i want to walk and chew gum and listen to an economist. i want to bring in catherine because, frankly, i am not going to pretend to know about what's happening with all of the measures in the economy. police reform i know. you are the expert when it comes to this area. i'd love to understand a little bit more about this very

important issue today. catherine, look, high job numbers. unprecedented. and then yet there are concerns about fears any way of recession. break it down for us. catherine, are you there? i'm not hearing her. she froze for a second. you know what? i want to hear this part. i don't want to give her short shrift. as you can see from the time and you probably have seen a little bit of a box on the right of the screen at some point today. we are looking forward to a great conversation with bill maher and his overtime. let's go to a break. we will come back, pick up where we left off and have these important conversations and expand them even more. we'll be right back. wrinkle guard penetrates deep into fibers, leaving clothes so soft, wrinkles don't wanant to stick around. make morornings smoother with downy wrinkle guard fabric softener. ♪ let's go!

today. i won't ask about the spy balloon, my friend. don't worry. i want you to make sense of and help us understand these blockbuster job numbers that came in. what do they mean and why are we still seeing maybe signs that a recession might not be on the horizon now? that's a good thing. >> yeah, you know, it was astonishing. the numbers came in much stronger than expected. stronger than they have been for the past six months, in fact. and it's a little bit of a puzzle about why. especially given that there have been these headlines about layoffs in silicon valley, in media, in fedex warehousing, that sort of thing. so there have been a lot of high-profile layoffs, but they are not showing up in the numbers. possibly because everywhere else in the economy employers are still desperate for workers and are either hiring up or holding on to the workers that they already have when they might otherwise perhaps decide to downsize. so it was a big surprise.

it was a good surprise, to be clear, but it was a pig surprise. >> i wonder if the numbers can be duplicated. obviously, they are shocking. inmean, journalists run out of synonyms for astonishing, astounding. it was a thesaurus google search in trying to describe it. i wonder if it can be replicated. we know something that has been repeated, the federal reserve raised interest rates eight consecutive times to cool this economy. does this job news mean that more rate hikes might be coming? >> that's part of the reason why it's been so puzzling. normally you would expect with the rate hikes that you referenced that the economy would be cooling. the labor market, in fact, would be slowing down. instead, that's not happening, or at least we have a bunch of recent reports suggesting in fact the job market might be highway heating up. i think there is a risk that the federal reserve looks at that report and says, hmm, maybe we are not out of the woods yet,

maybe it will be more difficult than we had anticipated to get inflation down further because there is so much demand for labor and there is still a lot of upward pressure on wages. we don't know yet. i think the fed would be happy to have inflation continue coming down with this level of job growth, but i am not sure that that's a bundle of outcomes that is available. so it is pos we will see higher rate hikes in the months ahead in response to these numbers. >> i do wonder, i mean, you heard president biden taking a kind of victory lap. i mean, there is no surprise why. these numbers were amazing, astounding, stupendous, as they say, and is ahead of cnn state the union on tuesday. he would love to tout this, given approval ratings and people want the job numbers to increase, but there is still inflation. the average will look in their grocery cart and say how much these eggs cost, how much is my gas, how much is the cost of living more broadly. i mean, is he celebrating too

soon? >> i think there is a risk of appearing a little bit tone deaf. to be clear, things like egg prices going up are not the president's fault. we had an avian flu. a lot of chickens died. nonetheless, if the president takes credit for some major macroeconomic trends, he is asking the public to give him blame for some other ones even if he is not necessarily entirely responsible for either. but, yeah, obviously, he is going to tout the numbers. he is going to celebrate that inflation is not, you know, it hasn't dispappeared. it's moderating. it's not as bad. there is hope it could continue to come down further. there are risks on the horizon here. we don't know what's going to happen with the war in ukraine. you could see major disruptions again if we are unlucky in energy markets or other commodity markets. we don't know what is happening with the debt ceiling. that could be an unforced crisis that causes a lot of economic and financial market pain. so i think it's a little bit premature to take a victory lap

for anyone, whether you are the president or anyone else. but, sure, celebrate the wins as we see them coming in. but maintain, you know, a little bit of cautiousness about the outlook going forward and the risks that the country still faces. >> first of all, you know people will still blame the eggs on biden. just remember the obama -- number two, looking ahead to the grammys on sunday. i think beyonce can probably take a victory lap already. just putting that out there as part of the conversation. you know, catherine, so nice to talk to you tonight. thanks for clearing a lot of this up. i appreciate it. >> thank you. well, everyone, up next, we are -- we have got something pretty special for you tonight. the cnn debut of hbo'sover "time" with bill maher. stick around.

[ cheers and applause ] >> all right. here we are. on "overtime," we're on -- we are really on cnn now? did they go nuts? no, i'm thrilled. the world needs a good cnn. i am happy we can help out any way we can. [ cheers ] >> congressman ruben gallego and the chief of police of minneapolis, not anyrondo is th you is? >> yes. >> like ray on. >> you don't have his jumper. do police need better training and de-escalation tactics? >> the actual alt aality is that

police are getting texist training they can possibly get. i think when situations occur like in memphis, it makes people want to resort to it's the training. at some point in time we have to call it. it's not the training. it's the character of the individuals doing this. >> really? it looks like the training sucks, too, though sometimes. >> constantly improving training, seriously. >> why always firing the whole clip? you know? i remember reading some statistic. i forget what year it was. ten, 15 years ago the entire nation of germany the police shot 89 bullets in a year. that's like one instance and they are all just firing the whole clip. it seems like once the firing begins, there is no like, okay. >> police departments are really doing a much better job in terms of use of force training.

the de-escalation piece is the most important. we never want our officers to be in a situation to use deadly force. the training is really good. we just have to start making sure we are focusing on the quality of the individual wearing that uniform. >> okay. this for you. by the way, the people who are seeing this for the first time, these are from the people. >> oh, boy. >> these questions. i didn't know what the questions are. i sound like a magician here. we have never met, have we? this is for you, representative g gallegos. why are republicans gaining ground with hispanic voters? >> look, it depends where. in arizona that's not the case. in florida it's definitely the case. in texas -- >> nationally, i think it is. >> it's a big -- the reason why -- >> trump did better even after they are all rapists. >> yeah. >> in 2020. i mean, what the heck is going on there.

>> the biggest point, the reason this is happening is because democrats also need to respond to the fact that latinos are working class and they have aspirations. they want to be rich. they want to be smaub business owners and own a home. a lot of times we treat them as any other voting demographic. if we don't talk to them, deliver programs for them, you will lose them to nonvoters and then they start voting for republicans because at least they have some other vision. it has to be an active campaign. we have to talk to them about the american dream, to be a part of the american dream. sometimes we don't do that. and that's how we lose. >> and it's also -- [ applause ] >> it's also because latinos think for themselves. we have this like, oh, you belong to demographic x so you are a natural constituency for party y. they are not like, oh, i am a gra demographic and i must vote for this particular party. i grew up in mexico city. my father was from mexico.

even the term latino is so misleading. it's wildly misleading. look, we don't assume that a brit is an american, a canadian, australian, but we assume a mexican is an ecuadorian, argentinian, is a douminican. so absolutely agree with it's an immigrant community and they are aspirations al. if you have a republican party that says we are going to make easier for your small business to operate by not charging you $1.7 million for golden toilets, or whatever the case may be, they will respond to that republican message. they are very christian and increasingly evangelical. >> i would say a couple of things. i think it's a big, big, misconception that the latinos, and i call them -- it's a shared culture, is that they are very religious. if you see some of the younger

voters, they are religious in the sense that they are catholic, most of them, but they vote in a very, very liberal manner. also la ttinos vote in differen minutes. depends when you came here, how rich or poor you are, and the problem with democrats is that we treat them as one big monolith and we only talk to them with about two months up to the election when you really need to be talking to them from day one. you are right. not just because they are brown or have a last name that's, you know, ends in a vowel that they are automatically going to vote for that. we have to earn it. and we have to earn it every cycle. >> i notice there is a lot of -- besides what you are talking about, that lumping, there is a lot of brown and black. i hear that term a lot when politicians talk. >> yeah. >> is it -- >> it's a made-up white thing. [ laughter ] >> brown and black people? >> yes. i feel like they --

>> yeah, because, obviously, someone who comes from an upper class family in india has everything in common with someone who comes from, i don't know, a working-class family in the yucatan. it's only something that essentially and inherently racist assumption that anyone with darker skin tone has something in common and they belong in anachronism. right? and it's the condescension -- this is a fatal flaw from the left. this condescending view of other people, you are part of the bi-pop community. the last people who know what that is that community. >> i think that there is -- there has to be some, you know, at least understanding like at least there is an actual outreach that's actually happening and there is an attempt at respect for that. now, you have the flip side. we are trashing democrats and then at the same time we have a party that has not -- >> we can trash -- >> yeah, to latinos. >> we are trashing everyone

here. >> let's trash away. i grew up in arizona. i was there for sb 1070, joe arpaio, and there were a lot of opportunities where the republicans had the opportunity to reach out to latinos and they lost that because of those types of actions. so, yeah, sometimes there is a language overreach that is designed to do, you know, try to get people into your coalition while avoiding the real issues that are happening. i give you an example. now that they announced running for senate, i get a twitter message, hey, well, why would i vote for someone would is owned by the cartels? you should abe a center in mexico. i was born here, i served my krewe, and i get accused of not being a true american and it's coming from the conservative right. >> it is gross. is kevin mccarthy, who is your new leader in congress, not yours --

>> he is something, yeah. >> he is something. well, he is the leader in the house. >> yes. >> it took 15 ballots, right? which is almost unheard of. has kevin mccarthy already made so many concessions to be an effective leader of his party? well, i guess for people who haven't followed the story, kevin mccarthy, who is a very far right republican in my view, still is not conservative enough for like the 20 really, really, really right people in the republican caucus, and they stopped him until they made him -- i mean, i think they did everything but make him wear the viking hat. >> the dunce cap, yes. >> but like i think one person can get rid of him by objecting to something he does. i mean, how can this function? >> because the republican party basically has split between reptiles and invertebrates, right? i mean, you don't --

[ cheers and applause ] >> marjorie taylor greene -- and there is some honorable exceptions. but what kevin mccarthy said is i will do anything to be speaker. i will agree to any -- and at some point he should have said take this job, marjorie, and shove it. give it to hakeem jeffries if this is the way you want to play and they would have backed down. and the spinelessness that he -- that the tone he set is going to be the tone of this congress for the next few years. >> it is dangerous. i am afraid he will get us into a debt limit situation where we will end up tanking the world economy because he gave yup so much power to have this title. it's a title now. that's all it is. he has zero responsibility. but he is going toned up and the country end up dealing with the consequences of that. it was not a great study in leadership, which none of us should be surprised by. it is what we are dealing with right now. >> let's hope the economy won't be tanked. >> could i have one question briefly? >> quickly. >> rondo. >> yes?

>> what percentage of cops are good cops? >> the vast majority of the men and women who put on the uniform and serve their communities -- >> he said 99.5 in the show. i don't know if we -- i don't know how -- it's just a number we don't have. >> it's a figure of speech. >> that's not a figure of peach. that's a number. >> it was intended that way. it was intended that way. >> all right. we got to go. thank you very much. [ cheers and applause ] >> you can watch real time with bill maher on friday at 10:00 p.m. and "overtime" friday nights at 11:30. we'll be right back. i love the confidence. i love that i can blast this beautiful smilee and make the world smile with me. i would totally say aspen dental changed my life.

. it's the dress that first broke the internet, or rather made it into what we know today. that's right. the dress that jennifer lopez in the 2000 grammy awards led to the invention of google image search. the former google ceo and executive chairman spoke about this in 2015 saying, quote, people wanted more than just text. we had no surefire way of getting users exactly what they wanted. j.lo wearing that dress. google image search was born. and just like that, everyone, the internet changed forever. joining me cnn contributor michelle turner. you have been covering the entertainment space for a long time. i bet most people had no idea

the impact of that dress to rethink the way we have google search imaging as well. just take me back to that time. what was it like at that moment remembering that moment in 2000, which i can't believe was 23 years ago now. take me back there. >> right. well, first of all, it didn't lead me to google image search but it led me to the gym, like a lot of other people. when we saw that dress, i think our collective mouths dropped open. it was such a moment because it was, you know, jennifer lopez was transforming into the a-lister that we know her now. and that night cemented it for her. she was still dating sean "puffy" combs or now he calls himself brother love, and it was kind of a coming out moment for them. i remember, you know, hearing her talk about what he thought when he first saw her and what he -- and also hearing him talk about what he thought when he first saw her. i mean, it was daring.

it was gorgeous. i remember there was a lot of conversation, can people show it? do they need ribbons? like what can we show? now, i mean, you know, it's pretty much tame, we think. at the time it was one of the most daring things we had seen. then to add insult to injury to all of us who are out here tripping, 20 years later she wore a version of the dress again and looked just as incredible as she did 23 years ago. >> there are some bracelets i can't wear from 20 years ago. >> girl. >> let me tell you that. thank you very much. the camera is only this part of the box. i am okay with that. the idea of thinking about that it really changed even sparked the idea of, look, people wanted to see it so badly that it changed the way that technology kept pace with it. i had no idea. here we are on the eve, practprak particular, of the new grammys this sunday and a different type of history is going to likely be

made. let's talk about who are the people who are the true contenders here for a moment. this year's show is going to air on sunday and here are the nominees for album of the year, by the way. and i wonder who you think is going to take the top prize. let's put it on the screen for everyone to see. you have got adele in there, bad bunny, beyonce, kendrick -- i mean, you have a lot of people in there, heavy hitters. who do you think will take home the coveted prize? >> you know the conversation is becoming a tale of two women in this category for a lot of people. people are saying once again beyonce and adele going head-to-head for album of the year. but, i mean, harry styles has gotten a chokehold on all of us and what he is doing in the music space is transformative all the way around. so i don't think you can count him out. and then you have people like

lizzo, who sings from the bottom of her feet to the tip of her head in everything she does. and you have bad bunny, who is like the most streamed and most selling artist that's out there right now. so i think that people expect it to be a pretty good night for beyonce. i mean, she is on the verge of becoming the most decorated artist in grammy history. she is nominated for nine grammys. if she takes home four, she will break that record. one of the categories she is up against her husband, jay-z, so that should be interesting to see how that goes there. but, you know, everybody's waiting and wondering and, you know, seeing if this will actually be once again the year of >> we shall see. i'm sure on congress and capitol hill they're looking at ticketmaster to see how those renaissance tickets are going to come through. a lot going on. we'll see you soon and covering the grammys, i'm very sure. thank you.

listen, once in a lifetime s spotting, a comet last seen in the stone age, as in stonehenge making its way around the earth. i'm going to tell you about it next.
