we're heart broken. my brother's whole family is under the rubble. not a single one was found alive. may god have mercy on them. we were hoping to retrieve them alive. but given the condition of the building, there are only 20 centimeters between the ceiling and ground. in this situation, we hope for the best. but we must be realistic. >> good morning, everyone. thank you for joining us. that man you just saw, you just heard from, he lost his brother, eight nephews in that earthquake that devastated turkey and syria. hope is fading to find any more survivors. the death toll nears 22,000 victims.

we have correspondents live on the ground across the zast zozo disaster zone. we're going to speak to turkish basketball star and chef jose andres helping feed people as a humanitarian crisis unfolds. plus this -- >> where's mike pence? >> the special counsel is investigating donald trump and january 6. now they want to talk to mike pence. cnn is learning what he is seeking from the former vice president. also the district attorney in memphis says he is doing a deep dive into past incidents involving the five police officers charged with murdering tyre nichols. sfw we begin with the catastrophe in turkey and syria. the scope of the destruction is staggering. the pictures, devastating. the death toll, just growing. 21,000 so far, 719 people now confirmed dead after the devastating earthquake. thousands more are still missing, possibly dead or dying beneath the rubble. hope is running out to find any

more survivors. the this morning four days after the quake, search teams rescued a 10-year-old boy who was still alive in a collapsed building. that was in turkey. but grim reality is setting in. the syrian village, one syrian eventualage, entire families are believed to be dead under piles of concrete. heart broken villagers are helping search teams dig through the debris by hand. we're live on the ground in the disaster zone for us. devastating. >> absolutely devastating, don. this is a port city part of the affected provinces in the country. and here this is a make shift camp that has been set up by the authorities for people who are now homeless. and what you got here is about 150 or so tents that have been set up by the country's emergency and disaster

management agency. you've got people who are registering and speaking to the authorities here, they say that they're now working around the clock. we've got -- they're digging the ground and preparing for more and more tents. they say this entire area is going to turn into a tent city. the needs are enormous. this is a massive earthquake zone as you know. there the are millions of people who have been impacted by this. the turkish government is trying to meet the needs of the people. you have the turkish military here also involved in the relief effort. they have been distributing food, blankets, water, diapers, to people who lost everything. and now are homeless. and it's just not enough. we heard this from turkish authorities saying they need all the help they can get. and, don, we met a lot of young people who have come in from different parts of the country saying they're here.

they want to help. they don't know what they're going to be doing. they jumped on buses and came down here just because they want to help. and speaking to a lot of the families here, they say they don't know what's going to happen to them. they don't know what they're going to do next. right now they're glad they're alive. and they say at least now they have shelter. they were sleeping out in the open in the freezing cold for the past few days. and, you know, we're talking about people here, don, speaking to them, they've not only lost their homes, so many people here have lost family members. so you can imagine the kind of trauma that they are now also dealing with while living out here with nothing. >> material things one thing. when you lose family members, that is everything. thank you very much. appreciate it. >> joining us now is chef jose andres, founder of world central kitchen. his team is on the ground now helping in turkey. >> here you see random faces for

people put tents. you can see in different parts they're building more tents. but again this is only -- barely day three of this earthquake. >> his organization traces roots back to the 2010 earthquake in haiti. thank you so much not only for being here but for what you do all around the world in these disasters. i know you have chefs from all across turkey that are also helping you. what are you facing? >> well, we are facing a very, very big task. i remember in 2010 given a rifd there a few weeks after -- i arrived a few weeks in haiti, it is one city. one city where the community came together to help. now we need to think this is like 10, 12 cities or more at the same time across 300

kilometers. the disaster is big. this is going to need everybody hands on as the search and rescue is ending. it's going to be the important phase of providing relief to people. take a look where i am. i'm on my way up north to a small town. i was where you are earlier. and the meal feeds your body and it's what warms you up in the very cold nights. there are hundreds of thousands of poor people are experiencing this. >> a big question, with he see you time and time again. we saw you in ukraine. now you're dealing with this. when you are facing so much

destruction that we've been covering all morning, how do you do it? where do you start? >> well, in this one, it's a big challenge. where do we start? where do we go? everybody is -- what is amazing is this. you have to figure out where to start the kuitchen anticipate also look for people and restaurants and individuals. sometimes have no experience before. they decide to step up and start doing something. so right now we're partnering with those people, those turkish people that are starting this. and that's what we have experienced. we felt then we wouldn't be able to move so quickly. and together we cannot only move quicker, i think today we're going to have 70,000 meals.

there you have hundreds of other folks and goals to accomplish. what do we do? one base, then two. then three, we're going to be moving to build a in you this kitchen there. we're going to be flying, god willing, by helicopter to get to a very difficult place to reach. much it's a very long drive. every day doesn't make sense. i'm one hour away. and we are already bringing five trucks to make sure we provide to that kitchen that they're already functioning. they need gas, cots, tents. they need food for people to eat. and the folks that serve the meals. this is what we do. we take one step at a time. w one project at a time. we have teams all across seeing what we can provide so we can increase the numbers every day. hopefully doubling the output of food we can cook.

>> jose, let's just be honest about this. i think this is overwhelming for a lot of reasons. you have tragedy on top of tragedy on top of tragedy. you have the natural disaster. then you have a civil war that's going on in syria. and then you have this brutally cold weather. among other things. just the sheer nature of this is tough even for you and for rescuers. can you just talk to us about the challenges that folks are facing there? >> well, i was here yesterday night. i was serving food. we were one of hundreds of organizations and people doing that. people are providing meals in front of every home you saw totally destroyed. it becomes like a mini city. you have the family members and

they're there because they lost somebody. and they're hopeful they will find that person alive. at the same time, you have next to them, the rescue workers, working 24 hours a day, without sleep, with the dogs. next to them is where sometimes they sleep or use things for one hour of eating something so they can go back to working. they know every minute counts. people are crying and they already found the body of their loved one and their hope finding them alive is gone. people that have nothing, people that have sometimes four or sometimes they have -- more and more complicated. we're seeing people sleeping on their cars. we have thousands of people sleeping in their cars. even some buildings you may see they seem okay, we need to

decide where to go into building. when the building next to them collapsed. so the situation is huge. i think the turkish government and emergency services, you think they've been doing a good job. but we need to understand that this is so massive we can't comprehend a few weeks from now. this is biggest earthquakes and number of buildings collapse. so, yes, turkey needs all the help that america, europe, and everyone can provide to them. >> yeah. >> we're glad you're always there. always there. i mean, no matter where in the world, jose andres, thank you. you be safe. check back in with us. we would like to hear from you. we have to remember, everyone, if you p it this number up. every time i see this number, it is startling. we're talking about people, right? 21,000, almost 22,000 people and

the number still climbing. >> and that's the deaths. the injured is 75,000 plus. the it's staggering. >> right. when people see the numbers. they want to help. here's where you can go to find ways you can help go. to cnn.com/impact. we have a whole list of organizations you can help there. in minutes, we'll be joined by former nba player, human rikght activist. yes hasn't been able to reach his family members in turkey. also this morning, we're tracking a development out of washington as former vice president president is subpoenaed by the special counsel. he is asked to explain his actions. the special counsel jack smith is now seeking documents and testimony. he wants to hear from pence about the interactions he had with trump leading up to the deadly capitol insurrection. paula reid is also covering the

story. the big question is how do we think pence is going to respond? are they going to fight it? >> i think we might see some fights, kaitlan, over questions of executive privilege. we know the subpoena comes after months of negotiations between the pence team and the justice department. and pence's team signaled he was willing to provide some information. we're seeing a subpoena right now doesn't mean there is an impasse. there are some witness that's prefer to be subpoenaed so as to not be appear to voluntarily k cooperating. he made it a little more difficult for himself in terms of executive privilege. he wrote a lot about january 6 in his memoir. you can't write something in a book and say i can't discuss that same thing in front of a grand jury. of i expect there are some limits on what he is willing to share. so far former president trump's

team does not continued to challenge the subpoena. they can always change their mind. >> it will be interesting to see what they decide. you and another colleague is interviewing jack smith. what is this with robert o'brien being subpoenaed? >> we have the national security adviser robert o'brien being subpoenaed in both investigations. both the investigation into the 2020 election and efforts to subvert the outcome and also the investigation into the retention of classified documents. he could be a really valuable witness. he considered resigning after january 6. he stayed on. he talked about what is going on after january 6. and the national security council should have been involved in handling of classified materials. he may be able to provide some insight into how those documents wound up down at mar-a-lago. we also learned that investigators have talked to former acting department of homeland security secretary chad

wolf. all this goes to say this is a very active and on going investigation. i talked to sources in trump world. you talk to sources in trump world. they were all very much like us to believe this is all done, wrapping up. but the fact they're very actively pursuing new witnesses, some very high profile ones. >> yeah. and bringing them into speak to them directly, paula reed. we'll see who is next. thank you. >> and now to the new developments in the investigation to the beating death of tyre nichols. a police document revealing that a sixth memphis officer who was fired last week lied in statements about the incident leading to nichols death. prosecutors say they will review all previous cases handled by the five ex-memphis police officers who are now facing murder charges. we have this report now. >> good morning. >> the ripple effect. it just keeps getting bigger. >> and it will keep getting bigger. this is significant by the district attorney to review every case these five officers were ever involved in, arrested,

someone they may have arrested, something they have witnessed. so it's significant because what could happen is dozens and dozens of cases could potentially get dismissed as a result. and likely will get dismissed. you can't use the officers as witnesses any longer. so they're in the process of doing that. we don't exactly know how many cases the da is going to review. but also calls into question whether or not they're going to review other cases involving the scorpion unit. any time you get before a jury, let's say, they'll say well, officer, where did you work? i worked in the scorpion unit. it's going to create problems for quite some time. the credibility issues. i mean these officers have no credibility. and we're yet to hear about more officers who potentially face term ination as well. >> all right. >> could be a lot of cases there. >> certainly could be a lot of cases. >> all right. keep us updated. thank you. also this morning, a group of governors are throwing their support behind presidents biden -- president biden's reelection run even though he hasn't announced it yet. even though there are polls

favoring another nominee. one of those governors of colorado is going to join us next to weigh in. ♪ we all have a purpose in life - a “why.” maybe it's perfecting that special place that you want to keep in the family... ...or passing dodown the family business... ...or giving back to the places thahat inspire you. no matter your purpose, at pnc private b bank, we will work with you every step of the way to help you achieve it. so let us focus on the how. just tell us - what's your why? ♪ this valentine's day, give the gift of shine. with up to 40% off everything. ♪ ♪ at zales, the diamond store. ♪his feels so right... ♪ adt systems now feature ogle products like the nest cam with floodlight, with intelligent alerts when a person or familiar face is detected. sam.

. >> when i called republicans out on the state of the union and they started yelling liar, i said that means you all are for keeping social security? they all stood up and said, yes. i said well we have a deal. >> that was proesident biden yesterday taking aim at desantis and scott. he talked at them wanting to deny access or eliminate medicare and social security. >> over 1.1 million people in florida would be eligible for medicaid if they say i agree to expand it. this isn't calculus. the very idea the senator from florida wants to put social security and medicare on the

chopping block every five years, i find to be somewhat outrageous. so outrageous that you might not even believe it. >> biden criticizing desantis who could be a gop presidential contender. the president edging toward a 2024 election announcement. here to talk about it is colorado's democratic governor jarrod polis. he and the other governors are g with the president later this morning at the white house. thank you for joining us, governor. you're going to the white house today. the first question is are you going to be supporting president biden when he runs in 2024? >> good morning. you're getting a little ahead of yourself there. think we all think the president is planning to rollout a exciting reelection campaign. certainly did great. he reminded of us of the master is when he took it to the republicans and said we have a deal here. you're agreeing not to do something namely cut social security and medicare the republicans have been talking about for decades. that really put them on the spot. very effective.

this smanman is a pro. >> but if he does run in 2024, you will be supporting that? >> he'll have widespread support. i'll certainly do the best that i can to make sure that we deliver the state of colorado as we did four years ago for the president. what a historic three years so far, of course. the reduction act, american rescue act. a lot of work that we're able to get done at the state level, the record investments in public health, investments in it reducing homelessness and public safety. these are transformational investments we're able to do because of the americans rescue act. he doesn't always get all the credit. know the work that governors are doing on the ground, even republican governors, a lot of the resources are thanks to president biden. >> i want to talk about your second term in a moment. if biden does run, likely it's going to be potentially a matchup of biden and trump again. what do you make of the idea that we may see them running against each other again?

>> well, president bide has shown one time he can defeat president trump. i know he'll show it again. i think that president trump is really a threat to the democracy. beyond the issues that we face. he has shown such little regard for the truth, integrity of elections above and beyond the u is issues people argue over. >> we don't know that he's actually going to be the republican nominee. he certainly the front-runner. you heard president biden there invoking ron desantis. he said this advanced placement course imposed a political agenda. you're a governor. is that how you would spend your time? >> yeah. first of all, how bizarre that he's governor of a state digger t bigger than colorado and reading the ap contrurriculum.

i don't know what he's doing. secondly, these are optional course that's advanced students can take. and, you know, people want to take them, they will. it's not the role of the governor to be dictating ciricula of advanced ap courses, a private organization. i thought that was extremely bizarre when i saw it. >> you referenced the president's address tuesday night in washington, state of the union address. there is one line. there we talked about the republicans and the back and forth. there is one line he made about energy. i know you talked and focused on energy prices a lot in your state. i want to play that moment of what president biden said. >> and when i tuk a couple and they say we're afraid you're going to shut down the oil wells and oil refineries. i said we need oil for at least another decade. and not going to exceed -- beyond that. >> i don't think it was supposed to be a laugh line. what did you make of the president and his comments about at least another decade? >> good way to talk about it.

the truth is we're rapidly weaning ourselves off fossil fuels. p is there demand for oil in ten years? there will be. our goal in colorado is 2040 to be weaned from oil. already 20% of cars in colorado are electric. oil and gas is commodities. i think we'll largely be off the fossil fuels with lower costs, more reliable renewable energy. >> what do you make of the white house's climate plan but also their energy plan? some said there is a disconnect between what they're seeking for those two to look like between reality and what their ambitions are. >> i think they've been very tena attentive to keep gas prices low. they're working on where and how we can drill safely in colorado. we've been upping the bar on reducing emissions around the

oil extraction process even more. so i think it's very important. you know, people pay for gas, heating, electricity, really hits their bottom line. colorado consumers, just like across the country, had a spike in natural gas prices the last few months. they're coming down now. but we want to make ourselves immune to that in the future by weaning ourselves off natural gas which can always double, triple in price when there is external events like a war in europe. >> the price hikes can be really impactful for families. you recently laid out your vision for a second term. you put affordable housing at the top. this is something that so many people, not just in your state are struggling with but across the united states. you said finding an affordable place to live -- or not being able to find one leads to more traffic, air pollution, economic challenges. how do you fix that? y >> yeah, as a big deal. colorado is a great place to live. the bad in uz is secret is out. demand skyrocketed. not just colorado, many other states as well. the people are moving to because they are great places to live.

that's pushed the average home price up. so what do we need to do? we need to make sure we have more quantity of housing, but not just anywhere, right? we can't just have a sprawl, traffic on the roads, not sustainable from a water perspective. we need housing and transit and a development and near where the jobs are. so we're looking agent a thoughtful approach tloond use that is sustainable, provides water and provides affordable units for rent and new purchase for coloradan that's have been here for generations. >> i know that is extremely important. you have a meeting at the white house today you have to get to, governor. thank you for sharing a few minutes us with. >> thank you. take care. 201,000 lives lost in turke. many people still unaccounted for. up next, we're going to be joined by the former nba star enis kanter freedom how his familiar s

i think it's a possibility that anyone can come out alive is that is driving the rescuers. the most intense work done by hand right at the front of the rubble interest. >> the impos built of hope as you just heard nick paton walsh say as we look at the heartbreaking images coming from the devastating earthquakes in syria and turkey. more than 21,000 people have been killed. that number is likely to rise. there are lives still being saved if, you can believe it. take a look at this. this is a mornlg and daughter being pulled out of the rubble in turkey. 92 hours after the earthquake struck. the daughter is waving on the stretcher as carried to an ambulance. nearby, two sisters also less ke rescued from the rubble. joining us now is former nba player and human rights activist, enes kanter freedom.

thank you very much. good morning. we can't put our -- >> thank you for having me. >> we cannot put ourselves in your shoes. can you tell us how your family is? you've been able to reach some but not all. >> yes. it's definitely been one of the most biggest heartbreaking disasters that turkey ever faced. and i have been trying to reach out to tell my family members, we have not heard from them yet. close to, you know, between turkey and syria, close to 22,000 people died. and so right now my condolences and prayers and thoughts are with them for sure. >> you can't get in touch with your family. you have been speaking to people. you know people there who have suffered losses. >> yes. i am not allowed to really communicate with my family because of the turkish government. i have a brother that plays basketball in japan. i have been communicating with my brother. he told me that he has not heard from my sisters and husband's

side. so it's been three days. we still try to reach out to them. but we haven't heard them yet. not only my family, but there are so many of my friends, actually, my friends' family that live in turkey that have passed away unfortunately. and right now we're trying to do whatever we can to help those people over there. >> how can we help? >> well, i mean -- we started this, i don't want to take credit, but we started this initiative with embrace relief foundation. and we are actually planning to collect around $1 million for seven days and we try to send them over to turkey. right now i believe it's close to $600,000 already in three days. so we're trying to do the best that we can to just help those people. they need our help. >> enis, you say what you mean, right? if something is near and dear to your heart, if you're inspired by it, you talk about it. there is a reason you're wearing

that shirt you're wearing. >> of course. i mean, yeah. unfortunately, there are so many heartbreaking stories happening all around the world. starting with ukraine and some of the other countries around the world. and this is definitely important. we have to stop fighting, stop the wars and start building bridges between the countries and people. >> i ask because the civil war that is going on in syria. >> yeah. that's right. >> exactly. >> as i understand it, some of your family, some of your friends here in america have lost just an extraordinary amount of family members in turkey. >> yep. just one of my friends i talked to yesterday has lost 11 members of his family. so many people are suffering. but what gave me so much hope is the international community. obviously, it's not a lie, it's not easy to work with the turkis turkish government. the international community do the best they can to send help

and rescue teams and president biden just sent a plane over there. but it does give you so much hope to just see all the good communities doing the best they can to help people over there. >> you're right. as chef andres told us, the situations see the best of humanity from him, from you, from so many people. thank you, enis kanter freedom. >> we appreciate you standing up for everything else including this especially. sorry about your loss. we hope that you can get word and it's good news. thank you so much. >> thank you. means a lot. thank you. >> that's the reason he can't speak with his family because he stood up to the government. >> he's so outspoken. >> can you go to embracerelief.org to help victims of the earthquakes in turkey and syria and cnn.com/impact. >> also this morning, we're tracking another international development. what officials are revealing about that chinese spy balloon's capabilities. you want to hear that. guess what? this is like going to wake you up.

that is more than any sport. they ask me to sing this song which is included for the first time in the stadium as part of the opening of this -- incredible moment. i was just like oh, my god. so, yeah. i was nervous. >> you are making history. you really are making history. is phoenix ready for you? >> well, you know what, don? i think the world and i are catching up to each other. you no he? for so long, you know, with everything happening now, i feel very much just like myself. still just luke sheryl lee but my microphone is unmuted and now people can actually hear me. it is great experience. just amazing. everybody should feel what i've been feeling since winning that emmy. >> you won the emmy for abbott elementary. barbara howard, look, maybe some

of the present, let us march on. the victory of justice for all has been won. major, incredibly powerful song. >> how you are going to sing it? i'm sure you plan it out. i'm sure you planned out how you're going to sing every note. how are you going to sing? can you give us a sneak preview? >> i can't give you a sample not at all. the nfl has asked me to please just save it for us for sunday. but i can tell you that adam blackstone who has been my musical director on this nfl journey to the super bowl, he said, miss ralph, all we need to do is to give people this song in a way that they can hear these lyrics at a time when all of us are together that we can all be brought together knowing that each one of us as human beings is to be valued no matter our culture, no matter our

color, no matter who we are that, we are human beings. let us come together and march on. until liberty is won. >> you have done so much. it is black history month. we have so many people like you who are making history as you will during the super bowl. lebron james who made history as he did for scoring. beyonce making history as she did for her grammys. what -- where are we in this moment? >> we're at a time that we must treasure and learn from. i think that we are really tebr at the brink of change. we have been working at this since 1619 at some point we must in the words of dr. martin luther king jr. be "judged upon the content of our character and

not the color of our skin." when you see a young black man, you have got to see him as a human being and not a target for rage, not a target for a bullet, not a target for a fist or a beatdown but as a human being just like any other human being on this planet. and now is the time when we get to change, get some people thinking and understanding that when we say wake up, everybody. that is to be woke. that is not to be a bad thing. there are people out there that want to turn the whole idea of wokeness which is about being awake to change, being awake to accepting people, especially people of color, black and brown people. be awake to that. because teachingyou don't need

history. you need to learn about what has been given to this country since 1619, especially by people of african descent. so much to learn. >> can you offer us, miss ralph, some advice, because there are a lot of folks out there who are wondering how you radiate joy so much, especially considering that you are so connected with what's happening in the world, you have been connected with what happened in memphis, to tyre nichols, and so many other things that we are dealing with in the culture. black voices being muted. how are you able to radiate so much joy all the time and what is your advice to us on how we can perhaps mimic and do what you do? >> you know, i think everybody's got to take their own personal journey in this. as a child of the '60s, when i saw terrible things happening in

the streets across america, in the american south, when i saw children not much older than myself being beaten, being shot, being killed in awful, heinous ways, when i saw great leaders being assassinated and shot done one after the other, there were my parents who told me that i must work to be the best sheryl lee that i could be because there is power in one human being. but that human being must acknowledge their power, work towards being their best self and share that with the rest of the world, and that has been my journey. so honestly i keep hope alive. i keep living by faith. i keep it within me. and i'm able to share it with my two children, etienne and cocoa, and they will share it with

their children should they ever choose to give me grandchildren. >> you are going to serenade us on sunday. i will serenade you now and say -- ♪ lift every voice and sing ♪ ♪ til hefb and earth ring ♪ ♪ ring with the harmony of liberty ♪ ♪ let our rejoicing rise ♪ thank you, sheryl lee ralph. >> thank you. >> i love you. >> i love you. >> i don't know. i felt like i was doing it in the taping, why did i do that? >> you made our week. >> we sang that not every day, but sang it a lot, i wasn't to an all black catholic school, and it was an all black school because this was right after desegregation in the south.

i think it was maybe sen years or so that my high school was desegregated. so i learned that song and when it started to become the black national anthem. sheryl lee ralph is a force that many people are just discovering and she is not new. she started with a piece of the action with sidney poitier and bill cosby in the late '70s and in the early '80s one of the original dream girls. most people don't realize she can sing. she is not just an actress. >> i love what she said, she and the world are catching up with each other. >> yes. i have always been this way and you are finally noticing more of you. >> we are catching up with a lot of things, especially when it comes to women, african americans. >> can i say something? i was looking back at the history of the black national anthem. it was performed by 500 school
