good morning. a tragedy of unimaginable scale. more than 17,000 people have now died as time is running out to save survivors in the earthquake. breaking overnight, pennsylvania senator john fetterman, recovering from a stroke, has been admitted to the hospital. an update on his condition. president biden addressing concerns about his age and why he hasn't yet med made a decision about running for re-election. lawmakers getting a classified briefing on the chinese spy balloon and new cnn reporting about who knew what and when. the p word, the "b" word, a word have been entered into the congressional word as the republican efforts to expose those at the top of twitter has take an surprising turn. "cnn this morning" starts right
5:02 am
now. ♪ i'm glad you could join us. keep this number in mind. 17,000. 17,000, not just talking numbers, that's people, right? and that's where we are going to begin. we begin in turkey and syria where 17,000 victims, that death toll is climbing. it's been more than three days since the catastrophic earthquake struck and time is running out for anyone that might still be alive and trapped in the rubble in frigid weather right now. rescue teams are using microphones to listen for voices and any signs of life. listen to that. when they pull people out alive, there are cheers after the quiet of just listening for people for
5:03 am
hours. we are now past the 72-hour window of time that experts say is critical for survival. nick paton walsh is on the ground in turkey. nick, good morning to you. take us there, please. >> reporter: don, here probably one of the biggest cities impacted by this earthquake, the devastation is utterly staggering. behind me you can see what the rubble has done and the grim toll that is building over the last hour. the bodies brought out, one just behind me before literally as you were speaking brought from the wreckage. there are moments when rescue workers run in desperately hoping that the noises or that the body they have seep may emerge indeed alive, but i have to tell you so far today, because of that hour you were talking about fast diminishing, that is less and less the case. indeed, the devastation is startling. these streets of apartment blocks, some standing,
5:04 am
unscathed, perhaps with cracks, others tilted at an angle, others completely destroyed. we went to a street whereby czarly it seemed every building in that had lost its bottom three floors, but indeed sunk down and was still standing. one of those buildings there was a rush of medical workers, a moment of elation, people thinking possibly within that building they may have found somebody alive and some of the cavernous spaces that get caused when rubble collapses in a certain way. sadly, minutes later they pulled out an 8-year-old girl who had perished. her mother there to put her on to the ambulance, move her away. but these bodies over here as they stand have some of them marked with owner identified, others simply are going to join the large numbers here of people whose relatives may have perished as well. a city of this size heavily populated with syrian refugees
5:05 am
has been hit incredibly hard. and the scale at which we see streets leveled is startling. the anger against the government palpable, too. many angry how fast the government didn't get here on the first day. others angry at the culture of getting rifrp by construction which led to some of the shoddy practices. but the numbers, don, just growing fast and it is desperately heartbreaking to see endless bodies brought out on blankets from the rubble here. don. >> nick paton walsh, thank you very much. reporting from turkey. senator john gefetterman is back in the hospital. he felt lightheaded and doctors have been running tests to make sure he didn't have another stroke. he had a stroke last year when he was on the campaign trail. he refused to quit. he ended up flipping pennsylvania senate seat for democrats. jessica dean, you know, we just saw dan, talking to him before the state of the union.
5:06 am
he seemed in good health, good spirits. what can you tell us about his spirits this morning? >> reporter: he is still in the hospital now, they are running additional tests. the positive news is his office is saying that doctors are saying they don't believe there has been any new stroke but they wanted to keep him orp to run more tests, keep him under observation. let me walk you through exactly what they said happened and then we can talk more about it. his office releasing a statement saying towards the end of this senate democratic retreat in washington, d.c., senator john fetterman was lightheaded. he left and called his staff who picked him up and drove him to the george washington university hospital. doctors are running more tests and john is remaining overnight for observation. as you mentioned, of course, he suffered that stroke back in may. that's when he was running to -- for the primary. he actually won that primary in the hospital. he was in the hospital for nine,
5:07 am
ten days and then of course had to recover and we heard him. he would talk about slurring his words, missing his words on the campaign trail. as you mentioned i have seen him since then. he seemed to be going about business as usual. we hope to get an update. i reached out to his office this morning and so far have not heard back. as far as we know, he remains in the hospital. they are still running those tests. >> we are all rooting for him, thinking about his fwife and family now. thank you. reports of multiple tornados creating havoc in the south. i want you to look at this, a trail of destruction following an auto severe storm in louisiana. the sheriff's office says that multiple homes were damaged and powerful winds flipped over a mobile home. in mississippi valley more than 2 million people were under tornado alerts on wednesday. the storms are expected to head towards the midwest today bringing snow.
5:08 am
kaitlin. this morning happening right now house lawmakers are now in a classified briefing about the chinese surveillance balloon, the one that floated through u.s. airspace across the united states before it was shot down on the south carolina coast over the weekend. later this morning senators will have their turn to get their classified briefing with officials from the biden administration. this comes as we are getting new details about what u.s. officials knew weeks ago about the suspected balloon after the defense department sent out an internal report, a tipper, through classified channels. it made clear that a flying object was headed towards u.s. territory, but it wasn't flagged as urgent at this time. now this has become a political flashpoint with republicans who are criticizing the way the white house responded to all of this. cnn's natasha bertrand has this reporting. it starts out as a tipper. it's not flagged as urgent. what does that mean about how officials found out about this? >> taking a step back here, this was the day before the balloon
5:09 am
entered u.s. airspace over alaska. the defense intelligence agency did send a tipper, a essentially a report that flags foreign objects to government channels. this was disseminated across classified channels. anyone who wanted to read it had access. because it was in the urgent, it was not briefed to the highest level the u.s. has seen balloons like this before. we have learned a lot in the last several days about what the u.s. actually knows about this fleet of balloons and the surveillance program that they are apparently a part of and they believed at the time that even though it was probably headed towards alaska, it was not an urgent threat. it did not pose a military or a physical threat to the united states and, therefore, it seemed like the best course of action would just be to monitor it and potentially collect intelligence about it. but it did enter alaskan airspace january 28.
5:10 am
officials noticed something odd. it took a sharp downward turn over canada and then into montana. and that is when things started getting serious, kaitlin. >> yeah. remarkable. i know all of this is going to be looked at because republicans say they are going to launch investigations into this. thank you. yesterday house republicans grilled former twitter executives getting hthem to admt that the fbi wanted them to suppress that hunter biden laptop story. >> many americans didn't know about it because of a coordinated cover-up by big tech, the swamp, and mainstream use. >> twitter was a subsidiary of the fbi. >> i think you guys wanted to take it down. i think you guys got played by the fbi. >> but witnesses at the house oversight committee hearing pushed back, actually a former twitter employee said she heard of the federal government trying to suppress speech on the site.
5:11 am
she said it was the trump white house that made that request. the former president reportedly contacted twitter to ask that they remove a derogatory tweet from model chrissy teigen. the former twitter employee read the heat. i want to warn everyone, if you have kids, turn the tv down because you'll hear why. listen. >> earlier you testified about a 2019 tweet that was about president trump and i think from miss teigen. what was the tweet about? >> woo like me give the direct quote? >> yeah. >> please excuse my language. >> this is a direct quote. chrissy teigen referred to donald trump as a pussy ass sfais btch. >> okay. free speech. kara swisher is with us. >> quite an intro.
5:12 am
>> ahost of the -- podcast. guys, good morning. >> did you see scott's face? >> i didn't. i want to get to the substance of this and move on from what was put on the congressional record though. i mean, what a moment, cara. this happened but not the way you thought it happened? >> that is correct. i am glad we got to the bottom of this nonsense. this is ridiculous. >> what has been shown here is that twitter was not really pressured but they were contacted by everybody who wanted to influence what they were doing. there was no conspiracy here. there was no anything except people trying to gain purchase and in the case of this hunter biden thing they denied it. this is not -- there is no -- they denied it. and so i think this was a waste of taxpayer money. it's a lot of nonsense. it's a lot of allegations they can't prove. hopefully, they will move along and move on to another nonsensical idea or conspiracy theory around these people. i thought the executives did a
5:13 am
great job. >> if you look at -- it wasn't just -- they are trying to make it out to be some sort of left-wing conspiracy, what have you. but it was actually trump who was trying to get twitter and got them to change their rules as it relates to -- >> sure, yeah. they tolerated him. this is well known. it was out in the open. there is no conspiracy here. you know, he abused the rules of twitter over and over again and they let him do it. that's pretty much it. there is no conspiracy of a bunch of -- you know, a cabal of people deciding things like this. they have a difficult customer and they let him do what he wanted. that's what came out of the hearing. >> to clarify because their policy was if you said something like go back to your own country, something like that, they took that language out to appease, right, so the president could get away with tweeting some things. >> yeah. so, okay. >> okay, but this has been --
5:14 am
this subject of so many conversations with republicans and trump officials that there was this conspiracy. you know, james comer, the house oversight chair said the other day that the fbi and twitter were colluding on this. we said there is no evidence of that, there is no evidence that there is any directive they got on the hunter biden story and now we see it was trump people also asking to remove tweets because of what it was saying about the president of the united states. so does this end this whole saga or what is your prediction? >> the only conspiracy here is a conspiracy of dunces that is our government right now as reflected in this hearing. this communicates to every chinese official, send more balloons. these people are idiots. first off, a private company has no fidelity to the first amendment. it's like it's as if are you going to are have ted cruz on later today? oh, no, you are censoring the
5:15 am
government. the notion of the fbi, the only real targeted assertion that they really need to defend was that the they coordinated with the fbi. they didn't coordinate with the fbi. if there is any censoring going on, any bias, it's towards letting the president organize an insurrection on their platform and that they weren't being as diligent as they should have been around censoring certain content. there is a certain both side -- i do believe the twitter executives probably lean progressive and as a result they engage in both sidism and let content and people on the right get away with things they wouldn't let people on the left. it's a private company. they get away with it. >> let's listen to the twitter executive testifying about that and about the decision on the hunter biden laptop story and who it was and or was not. >> i believe twitter erred in this case because we wanted to
5:16 am
avoid repeating the mistakes of 2016. >> i am aware of no unlawful collusion or direction from government agencies or political campaign how twitter should have handled the hunter biden laptop situation. >> it was your interview with that first executive and you pressed him. you guys were wrong. what i took was we're human, we were wrong, we were protecting against the warning of disinformation, right? i would like to debunk -- >> that's right. >> something that's not a fact, powerful republican lawmakers have been stating as fact. they keep saying is that twitter, that the fbi paid all this money to twitter to do things the fbi wanted. that is not how it works. can you explain the facts? >> it's not how it works. it didn't happen. they are making it up. they are lying is what they are doing. it's not true. they are saying it for the cameras. this guy in particular, roth, was forthright about a mistake. they corrected it the minute
5:17 am
they made it. now it was a stupid mistake. absolutely. they shouldn't have done that, i thought it was a bad call. they made a lot of bad calls, including letting president trump go on and on. this is a company that can make bad calls and that particular executive got attacked by the right-wing and he had to hide. he was under death threats. i think they tried very hard to be fair. it's almost impossible. and to then gin conspiracies on top of is shameful to have done that to these people. that said, you know, they seem to think twitter is a public utility and it is a private company that can do as it pleases even if you dolike it. the bias was on the side of making sure conservatives weren't tweaked by them. i think that's what came out of this hearing. >> final word, scott? >> look, cara is right. we engage in both sidism in the media because we are cognizant of the fact we might lean
5:18 am
progressive if we live in a city or work in media. as a result, i think we overcorrect. the travesty is we let a man coordinate an insurrection against the united states on their platform. if there is anything here that we should be looking at in terms of putting in place safeguards or how this company made terrible decisions it that really tore at the fabric of america, the fact that we decided to get a bunch of people together, let them organize, rooilt and a violent takeover of the capitol. that's the scandal here. that's something that the republicans weren't expecting they would talk about as much. this was a shameful hearing. made us look stupid. >> thank you. a lot of important points made. i think one of the most important made is that you don't have the right to be -- it's not a right to be on twitter. it's not a right to be on any media platform. it's a privilege. they get to do what they want. they get to decide the rules.
5:19 am
that doesn't mean just censoring people because you have certain rules. it's just the way it is. >> yeah, yeah. >> and also but we did get that tweet on to the congressional record. it's been a great day for america. i mean, honestly. so ridiculous. >> it is. well, get ready for more. >> thank you. >> a good point, poppy, because i think about the fbi is required to reimburse companies for the costs they get to satisfy subpoenas. and that republicans abuse that to say they were paying twitter. >> that's right. it's down a rabbit hole. it's something they repeat a lot. it's a very good point. i could go on and on and on with this segment, but we have to move on. we need more of this to explain to people the madness as cara and scott pointed out that the american people have to deal with and you are spending taxpayer money for grudges and grievances from the prior -- >> let me tell you something. not all republicans agree with
5:20 am
it. they want to investigate other things that they think has more traction and would be more meaningful. >> wouldn't it be great if hearings on educating kids and feeding those most in need got all that attention? >> and health care and voting rights and all of that stuff in yeah. >> president biden addressing his age and plans for 2024. he has a sitdown interview. john king is up early with us this morning. hey, john. >> does it give you any concern? >> watch me. that's all i can say. by working with you on a retirement-income p plan designed to balance growth and guaranteteed income. because doors were meant to be opened. something'g's happening at iho. something... huge. ant-man and the wasp have arrived. spend $30 on your nexvisit to ihop and get a fandan movie ticket to see marvel studios' ant-man and the wasp: quantumania.

5:24 am
the next election, 86 if you are successful and elected and finish that term. does it give you any concern? >> watch me. that's all i can say. look, i'm a great respecter of fate. i am going to be completely thoroughly honest with the american people if i thought there was any health problem, anything that would keep me from being able to do the job. >> that was president biden in his first interview since the state of the union. he told pbs news hour that he is confident he can do the job another four years despite having to officially announce he is running for office a second time. cnn's chief national correspondent and anchor of "inside politics," john king. the president said he hasn't made the decision but it is his intention to run, you know, do you think that state of the union address tuesday night solidified that, yeah, he is running? >> yes, and his first trip after the state of the union was to battleground wisconsin. we should assume he is running until he tells us otherwise.
5:25 am
and that's a candid answer from the president. we should hold him to it. if he had issues, he would be honest with the american people. to his broader point, watch him, of course, we will. you know, you see the polling. even democrats are a little nervous about this. they think he is a superhero, the guy who beat donald trump. so democrats hold joe biden in a special place and some of them think -- but in the next election should he do it again? 2023 is about trying to turn the temperature down on the age question for president biden. we will watch him out on the road. and we will watch, 2024 will be different. 2020 was a covid campaign. you didn't have as many events. so the president will get a chance to prove his vigor, if you will, when we have a full-blown 2024 campaign. >> why so much attention on biden's age? he says rightfully so, you know, he is going to be honest with people and he said that for years now, right? the concern about -- trump isn't much younger, like 2 1/2 years? >> 3 1/2 years. >> so, don, you frame a great
5:26 am
question. ron desantis is 44. demetri nikki haley is 51. then you have a 79-year-old guile running against a 81-year-old guy. so you have republicans, sara huckabee sanders. she didn't say it shouldn't be donald trump. she said it shouldn't be joe biden. so the biden people, many of them are banging on the fact that trump will be the nominee and the age thing will not be an issue. if the republicans nominate somebody else, maybe it does become an issue. why are we talking about it? we should talk about it in the case of joe biden and in donald trump or anyone else who runs because it's something we have never done before. we never had a president this aim run are for re-election. are people living longer? is medical science far advanced than 20, 30, 40 years ago when i started doing this? yes. to many voters it's a legitimate
5:27 am
issue. the president says watch him respectfully. >> i was interested in his answer on china. how this spy balloon incident sort of worsened our relationship with china, and he said no. then he went on to say this. >> i made it clear to xi jinping that we're going to compete fully with china, but we are not going to -- we are not looking for conflict. >> what did you make of that? >> well, he made that point to xi jinping well before xi jinping or his government sent a balloon over the united states of america and embarrassed the biden administration. look, what the president is trying to do here is the president is trying to say nothing has changed. right? he hopes that he has more leveraging now in the next conversation with xi jinping. he hopes that it gives him leverage in the conversation -- he doesn't want to poke him in the eye publicly. of course things changed. the secretary of state canceled a trip. the defense secretary tried to
5:28 am
call his counterpart and they wouldn't take his call. mid-level generals explaining what happened here. things have changed. the president hopes that six months and a year from now he can use this as leverage and the china, for example, will not invade taiwan. if that's true, maybe things will not have changed. in the moment, things have changed. >> yeah, it's definitely a huge moment to watch on that with china. he also talked about the classified documents, john. he was saying to the best of his knowledge the things they picked up are things from 1974, stray papers. he said there might be something else, i don't know. he talked about the people packing up his office. he said they didn't do the kind of job they should have done to go thoroughly through every single piece of literature that's there. what do you make of that? >> he is the ceo of the operation. just like george santos is responsible for his campaign finance reports, joe biden is responsible for the documents this his office, right? it could be a staff member's mistake but you are the boss, right? let's not shift the blame to other people. it's your office.
5:29 am
you are responsible for what happens in the office. old stuff from 1974? he better be right. his lawyers told him to is just say it's under investigation. when that's done we can talk. he doesn't know or at least they say they don't know exactly what was found there. so the advice of the lawyers and the political people is to sail nothing here. you know the president. times he can't resist saying everything is fine. when any politician does this, you run a risk what you say is not true. i give you inflation is transitory as one example for president biden which was complicated last year. his lawyers would like him to be more careful but he can't resist. >> we have to go, but do you think this is something that is -- a media story, will affect him with the public, had documents issue? >> i think how does it end? i think it gives trump a benefit because pence did it, biden did. very different circumstances. but trump to his base says, see, everybody does it. we don't know the final chapter
5:30 am
of this book yet. we shouldn't try to write it. >> john king, thank you very much. see more of john king "inside politics" today at noon on cnn. okay. so one week, two all-star losses. the brooklyn nets shipping superstars kyrie irving, kevin durant out of town in blockbuster trades. who do we have to talk about it? there he is, lz granderson live to be discuss. ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ nexium 24hr prevents heartburn acid before it begins. get all-day and all-night heartburn acid prevention

okay. so let's get -- we're talking about nba trade deadlines. i want to get right to it. the nets traded kevin durant to the phoenix suns, that happened overnight. comes right after kyrie irving says he is going away to the dallas mavericks. official end to what they thought was a very promising super team over in brooklyn. lz granderson is here, "los angeles times," host of the podcast life outloud. supposed to be a super team. what up? what happened? >> you know, this is the part of
5:35 am
construction of nba rosters that people forget about. that it takes more than just talent in order to build a championship. you've got to have cohesion, you've got to have luck, you've got to have clarity from the ownership group down to the 12th man on the team. and the brooklyn nets just never had that. you went through all the players that were traded. remember, before that james harden was traded the year before. and before james harden was traded, had remember they also fired steve nash, the head coach. and so this is the franchise that has started to disintegrate almost as soon as it was put together. >> lz, what do you make of kyrie irving as he is going to the mavericks? he did delete the apology that he posted where he said he was deeply sorry for his antisemitic remarks, the tweet about film, et cetera. i thought it was really telling what mark cuban said in november during that controversy about him. he said he had a lot to learn and he said he's -- i don't think he has a bad heart but he
5:36 am
wasn't educated about i impact. given the mavericks leadership, what they have overcome, right, there, as an organization, what do you make of this and how mark cuban will lead? >> well, it's a fascinating question because all of that has to do with what is kyrie's ultimate goal. he is going to be a free agent this year, which means he has to kind of play the good soldier publicly if he wants to sign a long-term deal either with the mavericks or some other team. and so i think both the dallas mavericks as well as kyrie have a lot invested in order to make this work. kyrie is wanting to secure his financial future and the dallas mavericks want to return as winners with luka doncic. i think you will see kyrie on his best behavior. again i said that when he was in boston and brooklyn, too, so what do i know? >> well, hey, we think you know a lot. we are having you on.
5:37 am
it brings -- it's going to put a lot of focus on this and what he does do next. probably even more focus than was already on him. >> yeah,a absolutely. the deleted post, we don't know when he deleted it. so i don't want to necessarily assume that the trade and the deletion of the posts are connected. but he had to know that there would be a response to deleting that post. so right there lets you know that even though he may be a good soldier, he is not going to not be kyrie. it will be interesting to see how he threads the needle between being what he has been and what he needs to be. >> he said i want to be in places i am celebrated, not just kind of tolerated. lz, thank you. we will have you back for longer next time. >> thank you for having me. sibling rivalry on football's biggest stage. we talk to travis and jason kelce's mom about the historic matchup and which son she will be cheering for.

making sure that they had, you know, nutritious meals, i did the best i could. but basically, you know, it was a lot of protein and they just, you know, they ate a lot. it was a lot. a lot of food. and constantly. >> i could only imagine that you would fill the fridge and then it would be completely empty two days later. how much trash-talk at the dinner table? >> not that much because they were on the same team. >> there you go. >> but there was a lot of bickering. a lot of bickering and a lot of, you know, one-upping and who won, you know, who can get to the table first, who could get to the car first. you know, to ride in the front seat. it's just things like that. constantly competing. and i think that's what really drove both of them to be the way that they are. it's just the need and the want
5:45 am
to beat somebody in their house and they are both very athletic. so they had the best, you know, individuals to practice against right at home. >> yeah. that's true. on a more serious note, because not only do they have this game matchoff together, you have raised two incredible humans. we will get to the spirit and people they are in a moment. incredible athletes who will likely be enshrined in the pro football hall of fame. what did you do when one wanted to give up? we try to encourage our kids keep going when it gets hard, push through. what did you do? >> yeah, a true story. jason did not get any scholarships to go to college. i said i believe in you. you believe in yourself. just persevere. keep doing it. i know you have it within you. just try your hardest. don't give up. you will never forgive yourself.
5:46 am
pick a school. we will find a way to make it work. and that's exactly what he did. and the same thing with travis. i mean, he has had his own adversity with different things. i would tell them the same thing. this is something you truly, truly love to do, keep at it. ask them, how can i get more playing time? what can i do? how can i get better? but it's got to come from the kid, not the parent. >> that's true, right? it's something in them that helps them keep going. i think moms and dads have a lot to do with it. both of them were drafted by kansas city chiefs head coach andy reid and he was asked this week about them and i love what he said. he called them both compassionate competitors who care about people as much as they care about the game. you know, eventually the sport ends, right? eventually, you are not playing in the nfl anymore. you are who you are as a person. so what did that mean to you to hear that? >> you know, that makes a mom
5:47 am
feel like she did something right. sports is game, and it's fun and if you get to play it, it's amazing. but not everyone can get there. i mean, you know, things have to happen the right time, the right coaches. teams have to need your skill set. so you need to do something after sports. it's very, very, a fleeting career. they have been doing it over ten years. that's surprising, too. but you need to treat everyone with respect and kindness and just treat, you know, don't make yourself better than anyone else because that is just -- it's important to have a good character. and that will see you through anything. >> amen. all right. i got to ask, what do you say to the son whose team doesn't go home with the trophy? >> yeah, that's a tough one.
5:48 am
it's going to be hard because in, you know, when somebody wins, only the winners and the winners' families are allowed on the field. the losers have to leave, you know? they go off the field. so i can't see them. they are going to get on a bus and go to their hotel. and there will be post-parties for both, the winners and losers, because it was a rough year. i will go to the post-game hotel after the ceremony and i will give my son a huge hug and a kiss because there is nothing that i could say that will, you know, mean anything at that point. he is going to be a broken, you know, person. so, you know, he will be happy for his brother, but the hours and the months that you put in to get it this point. it's tough. >> well, from one mom to the next, to you, the hours that you put in to raising them look at where they have come.
