training facility in atlanta. what is behind the violent attack? >> also, a bird strike forcing a southwest flight to make an emergency landing. the cabin filled with smoke here. >> and former president trump trying to block his former vice president mike pennsylvania from testifying to a grand jury. will the latest legal tactic work? >> we begin in atlanta. protesters storming the construction site of a police and fire figfighter training session. some carried shields. they hurled bricks, rocks, fireworks and molotov cocktails and torched construction vehicles along with a trailer opponents dubbed it cop city. fireworks explode next to a police officer. tensions have been builting for months between police and protesters. environmental advocates have been fighting to pro serve the force. other protesters say the

facility could increase the militarization of police. we get now to atlanta. nick valencia with more this morning. good morning. police say they detained 35 people. what else do you no he this morning? >> that's right. police are calling this a coordinated attack and occurred during what protesters were promoting. a week of protests and festivities with the goal of stopping this facility. police and fire training facility. it would be the biggest of its kind if it's completed. and on sunday, police say 35 people were taken into custody after throwing fireworks, lornlg racks and bricks and molotov cocktails at police. no officers were injured. they did say some protesters suffered sminor injuries. listen to the police chief at a press conference late last night characterize it saying this wasn't about the protests of a propose wi proposed police and fire training facility. this is about anarchy. >> actions such as this will not be tolerated. when you attack law enforcement

officers and damage equipment, you're breaking the law. this was a very violent attack that occurred this evening. very violent attack. this wasn't about a public safety training center. this is about anarchy. this was about the attempt to destabilize. >> in recent months, this site is the target of a robust coalition of activists. this is an effort to further militarize the police. others say that they're compromising their environment in a site that should be preserved. in january a georgia state trooper was shot and wounded and a demonstrator shot and killed by police further fueling a tense situation in something that we're continuing to keep an eye on. don? >> now that we're here, should with he expect more? >> well, it certainly not, you know, the tension is not cat amming down. this site and this facility is continuing to be actions of violent attacks by protesters. police underscoring that many of those who were arrested last night were from outside of atlanta. don? is. >> nick valencia in atlanta, thank you. all right. this morning to that southwest

airlines flight. the they're apologizing after passengers on their flight ft. lauderdale were forced to return to havana. birds hit the plane's engine and nose. look at that. the that is video of the cabin filling up with smoke. everyone was safely evacuated. we're in miami with more. terrifying to have that happen. luckily everyone is safe. i understand twhent out through slides, i believe. what happened? >> yeah, that's right. good morning. talk about a frightening few minutes for folks that were onboard that southwest airlines flight. cell phone video from inside the cabin of that aircraft captured just the terrifying minutes right after that airplane took off from havana's international airport. in the video can you hear a flight attendant telling passengers to put on oxygen mask as that smoke filled that cabin. so according to the airline, right after that 737 took off from havana's international airport, it hit a number of

birds. one of the birds hit the plane's engine. the other hit the aircraft's nose. now in the minutes right after that strike, that's when all of that smoke began filling the cabin. and so by the time the aircraft made its emergency landing at the airport, there were already crews waiting for that flight to get there. passengers were able to get off that plane using the emergency sh chutes and taken to a terminal. according to southwest airlines, they were able to check everyone out. no one onboard the plane was hurt and then they made some additional steps to make sure that folks that were trying to get to ft. lauderdale war ere a to do so. >> what is southwest saying about this incident? we all think about miracle on the hudson and what happened here in new york. sometimes these things are unavoidable, right? >> yeah. that's exactly right. so the airline was quick to command the actions of the pilots and the flight attendants as you heard in the video.

you can see that they're trying to keep everyone calm and trying to get them to do what they need to do. now in a statement to cnn, the airline said, quote, we commend the swift professional actions of our pilots and flight attendants in responding to this event. we apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and we reached tout to address needs ad offer support. one final note, according to cuban state-run media, it appears that the engine hit by that bird may have suffered some sort of engine failure. however, the airline said they were still looking into that. again, the good news at this hour, this morning is that no one was hurt onboard that southwest airlines flight. several passengers were able to get on a flight late last night. the rest of them will be able to make it to south florida today or tomorrow. >> okay. carlos, thank you for the reporting. all right. the state of the race for the 2024 republican nomination was on full display this weekend. former president trump and

florida governor appeared in dueling high profile appearances. trump headlining the conservative conference noefrn h -- known as cpac. and governor sdesantis made the pilgrimage to california. >> i think these liberal states have gotten it wrong. why are they getting it wrong? i think it all goes back to ideology. i think it goes back to this woke mind virus that is infecting the left and all the other institutions. >> we had a republican party that was ruled by freaks, globalists, open borders zealots and fools. but we are never going back to the party of paul ryan, karl rove and jeb bush. >> those weren't the only two that you heard from. gop presidential candidate nikki haley also spoke at cpac as did former secretary of stake mike pompeo who is considering a run

but hasn't announced yet. both of them took veiled jabs at trump and declined to actually name their former boss. at least one potential candidate dec decided not to run, former gover governor maryland larry hogan said he is not running because he didn't want to risk being part of another multicar pileup that he believes could lead to another trump nomination. former arkansas governor asa hutchison disagreed with that line of reasoning though. >> larry hogan is star. he's governed well in maryland, elected in a blue state. he did say he wanted to avoid a multicar pileup. i got a kick out of that reference. i actually think that more voices right now in opposition are providing alternative to donald trump is the best thing in the right direction. >> joining us now is the person who conducted that interview, cnn's chief political

correspondent dana bosh. he said that he thinks larry hogan is wrong that a bigger field is going to help trump. that does seem to be the conventional wisdom here. >> right. not just the conventional wisdom because people are trying to read the tea leaves. it's because people are looking at 2016. that is exactly what happened in 2016. you well know covering that campaign that what happened was donald trump never got a majority of the votes during the primaries. he j ust got a lot more than th others. the others split the vote because there were so many people in the field. what governor hutchison said to me was that, yes, that could happen in some ways. but that he is fundamentally convinced that this time around is different than last time. the dynamics about trump, trumpism, what we know about him since he was the president and,

of course, because of january 6, it changes things. but one thing that he did indicate, he didn't say this. but indicated which i heard from others in and around potential republican candidates is that it is early. you could potentially see some of these candidates getting in to try to shift the message, the anti-trump message. but maybe not staying in very long to the point where they -- if they don't take off to the point where they hand donald trump the nomination because they're splitting the vote like 2016. >> dana, can we talk about your interview with new york's mayor eric adams yesterday on the show? it was fascinating for a number of reasons. particularly, i thought the broader question to him on whether lori lightfoot's loss in chicago is a warning sign across the country. so let's take a listen and then talk about it on the other side. >> i think this is a warning

sign for the country. eric adams is talking about public safety on the campaign trail but for the first year. public safety is a prerequisite to prosperity in chicago and new york and many big czities acros america. >> what do you make of that? >> he has been talking as loudly as anybody could -- as anybody could and he wants his many people, particularly democrats, to listen to him about the notion of crime. you know, especially as to new york city residence and you are consumers of the news up there, that has really angered some of his fellow democrats, particularly in the wake of the 2022 mid terms because a lot of democrats think that one of the reasons that they did so poorly in the key congressional races, maybe even cost the democrats the majority is crime is such a

big issue and eric adams is contributing to that, sounding more like republicans. his argument is it doesn't even matter what i say. what matters is what people feel and people don't feel as safe as they should. he did note that crime has come down. we had a notice from the nypd last week across the board. but he is trying to sort of -- it's a call to democrats and you will you need to know and all you need to have witnessed is what happened here in washington last week with president biden suddenly shifting his position again angering democrats in the house by saying that he would likely support, actually sign a republican bill to override a crime -- a piece of crime legislation here in d.c. that could have been perceived as soft on crime. that tells you everything you need to know about how potent this issue still is for democrats. if you look at the gouy at the

top of the ticket, that tells you a lot. >> it's interesting. it is the same issue, i believe, dana, that president biden has with getting his message out. he's accomplished a lot. a lot of headwinds. same thing with crime. crime is down in many areas. and it is indeed an issue. it is hard to establish what is real and what's not. but what matters is perception is reality. right? and whether people feel safe and whether people feel joe biden on the other hand has accomplished much. he has accomplished much. crime is down. so then what happens during the election? how do democrats get their message out having issues with that? the same as joe biden gets his message out that he's actually accomplishing something or democrats that crime is actually down rather than up in many areas. it is an issue though. >> it is. a cnn contributor was a member

of congress serving from new york and he has been very vocal about the fact that he -- he th thinks it's very defentrimental keep talking about crime as a major problem that exceeds really what the numbers show which is kind of the point you're making, don. and, yes, of course people -- people don't feel safe. that is all that matters. but it's like that balance between telling people i feel your pain, i know that you don't feel safe versus telling people maybe that is a little bit misdirected if you look at the numbers where they are right now. again, just new york city as the example that we're talking about right now, numbers are down. but you can't ignore what happened in chicago last week. and that's what the basis of my conversation with the new york city mayor, he's very close with lori lightfoot who is now on her way out because she lost and by and large, a big, big reason for

that was the issue of crime. >> yeah. dana, i have to point this out. you covered it as well. just to show the pictures. this is some of the 58th anniversary of bloody sunday. activists were attacked there in 1965. the president inviting many other leaders to mark the commemoration, 58 years ago. dan yashg dana. thank you. always a pleasure. >> thank you. >> so this morning the former president trump filing a motion seeking to block former vice president mike pence from sfoeg a grand jury about efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. trump claims the issues are protected by executive privilege. let's go to our cnn reporter now. good morning. realistically, will trump get his way. >> we'll have to see, don. right now this filing is under seal. this is the third time that donald trump has tried to make a claim like this under seal in

this investigation, trying to claim that his presidential communications should be secret from criminal investigators looking at january 6. and there's a long history here whenever you look back not just in the history of the united states where courts have really not ruled in favor of executive privilege claims whenever there is criminal investigators wanting to get information. but there's a long history even before this judge in it this particular investigation related to january 6 where donald trump has lost now every time he tried to make this claim that we know of. and so it is very possible he could lose again. it does make it a little different this is a b. a communication between the vice president and the former president himself while they're both in office. but, don, on the whole, executive privilege does tend to fall away whenever a criminal investigator says we really want an answer here. >> caitlyn, the cop republican

a -- top republican and democrat said they got the flafrt of the contents of classified coulnten. >> right now, you have no idea whether these were the highest level or mid level. >> we didn't say no idea. we can't get too into the details. we got a flavor for what was there. and i won't speak for mike but i'll tell you having given the flavor this is a very serious issue. this is not stuff that clearly doesn't matter. >> in all three cases? >> again, we don't know yet. >> the question is what is the flavor? >> well, the flavor is not the whole thing. it's a taste of what it is. they clearly are taking they believe there is a serious issue here as intelligence committee members, republican and democrats get together and speaking about what they learned in this first crucial briefing. but they are also in the rest of that interview indicating that they are not satisfied with the

amount of information that they have gotten so far about these classified documents issues. they also say they don't know the classification levels of the documents that were being kept outside of secure facilities in any of these investigations. and they indicate that fbi investigation is on going. at least with donald trump we also know that it's on going with joe biden and special counsel looking at both of those things. and whatever the fbi and intelligence community finds, how secure these documents were, how they were being captured may have looked at them after they were outside of the hands of the federal government. all of that is going to play into charging decisions and the criminal investigation. don? >> not sure it's going to be in the back burner. may overshadow what happened in 2024. thank you. ukraine yn forces pushing back on russian fightersrs as ty surround cities inin the east. a look at how this is all shaping up. major mike l lions is here with the breakdown. experts at replplacing glass and recalibrating your vehicle's camera,

this morning, russian forces are making gradual gains as they try to encircle ukrainian fighters in bakhmuit. president zelenskyy is calling it one of the toughest battles yet. ukrainian forces are holding on to a key highway in the contested city. a short time ago, lloyd austin said it would not be a strategic setback if ukrainians decided to reposition in the west of bakhmuit. t the town's mayor saying there are ukrainians in the city and in harm's way. let's bring in mike ryan. good morning to you. let's focus on bakhmuit here. so the secretary is saying that it would not be a strategic setback for ukraine if they lose this city. is that true? what is the significant of bakhmuit? >> i think it is true. both sides are using this battle to grind the other side down. ukraine is winning in that regard. they're about a 7-1 ratio.

the however, they still don't have enough manpower there. here's really what is happening on the ground right now. the russians are enveloping the city here. wide circle here. why hasn't russia taken it directly? i'll tell you why. there is a river. ukrainians use incredible amount of obstacles to protect the city. there is a river that goes through that russians can't get to. we can tell what either side is doing by how they draft bridge as cross rivers. the ukrainian military just dropped that river. they're retreating back and eventually taking this. this is the 504 road back to this area. the russians now, they drop a bridge here. so they're trying to prevent the ukrainians from escaping from this route there as well. so we're seeing now actually what both sides are going to do and likely where ukraine will be able to evade russian forces to leave the city. >> considering what you just said and how they're

surrounding, how much longer do you think ukrainian forces can hold on? >> they've got to decide how more casualties they really want to take. both sides have been grind each other down at this point. i think they're going to do this the next 24 to 48 hours. there is no loss in that for them. when the enemy is strong at this point, i think that's what the decision they're making. >> can we talk about the group? they're been spear heading this push. can you explain to us their involvement here? >> they're mers on mersonaries, that have made this choice to come join the battle here because as opposed to sitting in a russian penal colony, they're unbounded by the laws of warfare. they use them for deniability. they were first deployed in 2014 in cry mira as the crimea. here's the deal, with he see he is now complaining about the situation in bakhmuit.

he says they're not getting enough ammo. he is sensing a loss. he senses they're not going to be able to hold it. what they've been done to the city, it's in rubble. 4500 left from what was 80,000 civilians. very have not gained any victory. >> is not bound by traditional rules s that why they're involved with russian troops? >> they can't muster enough russian troops that want to be in this fight. this is a suicide mission. the frontal assaults on trench warfare with the different obstacles, the russian soldiers recognize they're not going to survive the battles. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good to see you. >> yeah. >> thank you. >> ahead, we'll discuss this, how china is building up the military. we're going to be joined by national security adviser john bolton. >> we're waiting in line at the grocery store to spending hours in a mile long food drive. ahead, the impact of food stamp benefits being cut. and what is next for nba

this morning, the fbi is asking for the public's help in the search for four americans who have been assaulted and kidnapped in mexico. officials say they were taken on friday after they crossed into mexico driving a white minivan that had north carolina license plate. shortly after entering mexico, gunmen fired at the passenger and all four americans were taken, put into another vehicle and taken by the armed men. investigators are offering a $50,000 reward in the case as the details remain to be seen. all right. take a look at. this a lithium ion battery is believed to have sparked a huge fire in the bronx that destroyed a commercial building. can you see it here. almost 200 firefighters were on scene battling flames and smoke for hours. wow. at least seven people were

injured including a civilian. emergency responder and five firefighters. officials say this kind of battery fire can be very dangerous and difficult to put out. >> how do we educate the public that you must use the legal b batteries and these devices should not be placed inside your home. >> officials say that the battery may be illegal. they don't know yet who owns the bike. but they are investigating. >> this morning millions of americans are scrambling now that pandemic era food stamps ended. recipients are receiving $95 less a month. of this is a really important piece in the "washington post." it's forcing many families to turn to other options including food banks which are concerned they can't keep up with demand. >> $350, something like that.

and then after it's over, it went back down to what it was before. about $140. but still the mayonnaise and everything else stayed high. so it didn't equal out. both of us disabled. she's on oxygen. i'm on oxygen. she has blood clots in her legs. we usually have to take money out of something else for food, you know, out of our checks. we have disability checks. >> gabe cohen is joining us. the questions is now what? this is the policy now, right? >> yeah. poppy, that's right. the short term, a lot of this is going to end up falling on food banks as you're seeing there. and we're already seeing alarming signs that food insecurity is exploding and that it may only get worse. when the snap bern nefits expir they lost $95 a month. it is coming at this really

difficult time with inflation still squeezing families. the food is still threw the roof. i spoke to food banks across the country, all of them telling me that they are seeing record demand right now. higher than at the peak of the pandemic. in cases, the pantries have to ration food so there is more to go around. that means families are getting less food when they show up for help. you mention this weekend "the washington post" publishing that powerful piece showing a mile long line, a three hour wait at a food bank in kentucky where people are struggling. take a listen to one of the people in that line. >> when the snap benefits ended, it's like we have to go to the next give away. >> here you go. >> i don't know what time it is now. 4:06. i didn't know it had been that long. but i have sat longer. if it wasn't for this place

here, i wouldn't be able to eat. with it i can eat one meal a day. without it, i'd eat a meal every two, three days. >> and we're starting to hear more and more of those stories, people saying they can only afford one meal a day or they're having to ration their supplies inside their home. those emergency snap benefits lifted 4.2 million poeople out f poverty. it lowered children poverty by 14%. and feeding america says three quarters of their food banks have already seen a rise in demand because of the program's end. in some cases, they're seeing 20% more people showing up for help. they're over budget. they're dipping into reserves and it's going to be tough for the food banks to even help the number of people they are currently serving if this keeps up. let alone if more people start showing up. so, poppy this just driving us closer to the hunger clip that i brought up on friday that experts have been warning you have. >> yeah. people are really struggling in the meantime. gabe, thank you for that

reporting. also this morning, there is fallout in a sports world as the memphis grizzlies are now without their superstar ja morant against the clippers last night. morant has been suspended with no real clear time line of when he is returning after he appeared to flash a gun while live streaming from his instagram over the weekend inside a nightclub. the grizzlies said saturday that 23-year-old is going to be away from the team for at least two games. morant since apologized saying in part he takes full responsibility for his actions and that he's going to use this time away to, quote, get help and work on learning better methods of dealing with stress. the grizzlies coach made clear that is also their top priority. >> he's made some difficult decisions and poor choices in the past that he has to account for. that's why you have seen a statement that speaks for itself. he understands he's got to get help to get into a better place for him stefl and for his team. you know, we love him. we want what is best for him. we support him. it's going to be a difficult process. but, you know, we've got a great

group. we're taking it one day at a time. this is going to be an on going healing process. so i can't comment in terms of what the exact timetable is going to be. it's really not a timetable situation. >> kind of hard to understate the fallout from that and what is happening. >> yeah. all right. we'll continue tracking that. also this morning, china announced it is upping the militatary spending. what this could memean for the u.s., taiwan and beijing's relationship with russia. the former national security adviser to former president trump john bolton is standing by to discuss. every day, millions of things need to get to where they're going. and at chevron, we're working to help redu the carbon intensity of the fuels that keep things ming. today, we're producing renewable diesel that can be used in existing diesel tan.

some tubing and rubber bands. now with our know-how and some elbow grease and a little bit of luck, i — you're probably going to want to start running. the next generation 10g network, only from xfinity. one giant leap for mankind. >> china announced plans to boost defense spending by 7.2% this year. that is slightly up from last year. it's the size of this year's military budget is double that of ten years ago. beijing is modernizing and

building up its military. u.s. officials have gone public with their warning that china is considering providing weapons to russia for use in ukraine. this is all come as this morning we're seeing a fierce battle under way raging in ukrainian city of bakhmuit and russian forces closing in on three sides as ukrainian troops are struggling to keep a strategic road open. lloyd austin says if the city falls this is what it would mean -- >> i would not view that as a operational or a strategic setback. i think it's more of a symbolic value than it is strategic and operational value. so the fall of bakhmut won't necessarily mean that the russians have changed the tide of this fight. i think it will continue to be contested. >> former national security adviser and the trump whois --

white house joins us now. what is your reaction to secretary austin's comments? do you agree with him? >> well, i think that's probably correct. i think it's another example by the bakhmut fight. another example of how incomprehensible russia's strategy is. they're still like the winter war with finland in 1938, still like much of the second world war. they learned nothing about maneuver. you know, things like outflanking the enemy. it's cost them terribly. the ukrainians held out for a long time. i don't think short retreat here necessarily says anything. but it does emphasize this conflict is fundamentally at a stalemate which could go on for a long time. time is on russia's side ultimately. >> what is the significance if they do take it though? if it doesn't strategically mean anything, does it give them a victory that could be a morale boost or something they need for putin to tout as a victory?

>> well, they'll certainly try and make propaganda hay out of it. but fundamentally, i don't think it changes the military situation. i think you can see back and forth all along the line of control between russian occupied ukraine and territory still controlled by the ukrainians. if a war of attrition goes on long enough, typically the bigger country wins. so it's not good news for ukraine. >> yeah. the idea of a stalemate certainly concerning. i want to ask you about a new report that came out from the u.s. intelligence community saying that they believe it's very unlikely that a foreign adversary was responsible for what is now come to be known as havana syndrome. i know this is something that touched you personally with your staffers who say they believed they experienced it. what was your reaction to this new report? >> well, i thought it was essentially the same thing i first heard five years ago when i had my first meeting on this at the white house.

and really nothing has changed. they haven't found any evidence conclusive one way or the other. i think the main conclusion is that they didn't find credible evidence of a foreign weapon that would do it. to make the assessment from that that it's likely not a foreign adversary i think is very bad intel intelligence trade craft. i recommend they go back and look at an interesting book by one of the icons of intelligence, of some of his early papers where he points out the difference between an unproven hypothesis and disproven hypothesis. there is nothing in this latest report that disproves the possibility that this is from a foreign adversary. so my suggestion here is that congress authorize a team b analysis. something that is diskeked from existing intelligence agencies independent, can take a fresh

look. not only because of the critical need to assess what happens to american citizens overseas working for their country. but also because -- i never heard anybody say that the possibility of this kind ot feasible. we've got were toy about what can happen in the future as well. i'm just worried the intelligence community said we're tired of this and pushing it off. i think we need a team b to go after this in a completely new analysis. >> your former boss, former president trump was on stage this weekend at cpac. he was talking about what is happening in ukraine and rush yachlt he said if he's re-elected, before he even arrived at the oval office he could have the war between russia and ukraine settled. he said it will take me no longer than one day. >> look this is more proof as if much is needed that the man is not fit to be president. that's obviously not going to happen.

i do think the most significant he said in that very long speech was this is between us and them and if they win this time, we don't have a country anymore. i think that's one of the most subversive things any candidate for president of the united states has evesaid. it's very dangerous. i very much want to see a conservative republican elected next year. but the idea if we lose particularly if donald trump is the nominee means it's the end of the country is absolutely foreign to conservative philosophy. i think it's another example of trump proving yet again he's not a conservative. >> what about him saying he wouldn't drop out even if he is indicted? >> well, i think that's a pretty good sign his attorneys are telling him that at least one of these investigations going on he's going to be indicted very soon. i think it's for the voters to decide. if he wants to keep running while he's under indictment, i think that will help republican

candidates opposing him for the nomination. i think it's clear to avoid the 2016 scenario where trump slips between a whole field of candidates. the candidates shouldn't focus on each other. they should focus on what's wrong with donald trump which is the subject that would take an awful lot of time to consume. trump may think he's going to have an easy road to the nomination. but only if the other candidates give it to him. >> you think him saying that means he thinks he's going to be indicted? >> i think ooze preventative in a sense so that people aren't surprised by it. but we know that several of these investigations are coming to a conclusion, whether there will be an indictment or not, obviously we don't know. but i think his attorneys are obviously very worried about developments in a number of them. to me, it indicates they believe, perhaps having heard something from the prosecutors involved that ab indictment is more likely than not. >> we heard from former maryland governor larry hogan over the

weekend. he says he's not going to run for president. he's worried about the field being too big that it benefits trump in the end. you said you're considering a 2024 run. where does that stand? >> i'm still considering it. i was very disappointed, i have to say, that larry decided not to run. i'm a fan of his. i'm a maryland resident. i was born and raised in baltimore. i thought he was a great governor. and i do understand the analysis that too many candidates might be a way through for trump. but on the other hand, let's say you only had two other opponents for trump and a given primary they each got 33%. he could still win with 34%. i think the focus here has got to be on eliminating trump from the nomination process as early as possible. i think it's very clear that the mistake candidates made in 2016 was in going after each other instead of going after trump. it's 2020 hindsight but i think

it is the right analysis. >> notable you said you're still considering your own run potentially. of ambassador john bolton, thank you for joining us this morning. >> glad to do so. >> fascinatiting take from him. wall street is bracing f foa lot of big reports. they could shakeke up the marke and what they mean for you. >> tech: need to get your windshield fixed? safelite makes it easy. >> tech vo: you can schedule in just a few clicks. and we'll come to you with a replacement you can ust. >> man: looks great. >> tech: that's service on your time. schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace♪ >> man: looks great.

weeks. christine romans here to break it all down. >> they're calling it hell week on wall street this week. there's so much happening and it's all really important. they have chair powell going to the hill for a couple of days. you've got a bunch of different job statistics until we get to friday jobs report. you have the president dropping his budget blueprint on thursday. there's a lot that matters for your money happening this week. and one of the big issues here, i think, is a very strong job market. and that is something that has been a problem for the fed. we're expecting the job market to be maybe 200,000 jobs added in the most recent months. and you can see, remember, last month, how strong that number was. so the job market continues to be very, very strong and we expect we're going to see that again this week. why would a strong labor market be bad news for the fed. >> it's because the fed has been raising interest rates over and over and over again and it's not cooling off the job market. and that strong job market could continue to spin off more inflation. and the fed is trying to cool

inflation. it just shows you, the fed might have to keep interest rates higher for longer. we know that there are two jobs open for every person who is looking for work. that is a really, really tight labor market. that chart right there shows you that the fed might still have a lot of work to do. the fed would like to see things cool off a bit. we have a strong job market, it's great for main street, not so great for wall street. >> it also shows you the power or lack of the federal reserve when it comes to these interest rates. if they're not impacting the job market, are they having any impact? >> i think that's what you're going to see the fed chief grilled about this week. you're going to hear him -- people on the hill are going to say, you're going too hard, this is hurting working families, or they're going to say, you're not going hard enough getting inflation under control. so i think he's going to be criticized on both sides. but we can see where the fed interest rates have been working in the housing market, that has slowed. but also credit card interest rates, and this is the takeaway for kitchen table economics here. credit card interest rates are

at record highs. 19% for a typical credit card, up to 30% for a store card. if you put $2,000 on a typical credit card, you only pay the minimum balance, at 19%, it would take more than 12 years to pay it off and you would have more than $3,200 in interest on that $2,000. >> more interest than the initial spend. >> way more than interest than the initial spend. on a store card, it's even worse. i think that where you're seeing the higher interest rates really working through the economy are places like that and that's where people have to really be careful. >> i think kaitlan makes the point, which is the medicine is not working enough. the fed medicine on interest rates is not working. >> so does the fed have to raise interest rates, raise it to 5%, the target rate. do they raise it as goldman sac suggested closer to 6%. that means higher rates for longer in the economy. >> and we don't even know if it would work. >> higher rates is something tlael people in working families feel. meanwhile, the job market is

strong. on the surface, that should be good news. the job market is strong. there are a lot of jobs open for people out there, even with these headlines in tech and in finance of layoffs, overall, the job market is strong and very few layoffs every week. >> okay. confusing economy, as always. hell week. brace yourselves. thank you, romans, very, very much. a little bit later, we'll be joined by economist and former treasury secretary, larry summers. what he says about all of it. all right. this video you have to see this morning about a wild moose attack. things got scary for two idaho brothers when they encountered this giant moose last week. the average moose is about 6 feet tall. they can weigh as much as 1,400 pounds, but our very own estimation at cnn this morning that this one is a ginormous

one. at one point, the moose suddenly turned and charged at one of the men, trampling the snowmobile and really tumbling it into the snow. after that, the brothers left happily and they were alive to tell the tale. one more look. i think the snowmobile kind of actually helped, right? >> buffer. >> it was a buffer to the moose. >> took both of them out. >> bulls and bears and moose. who knew? >> oh, my. >> christine romans. >> one more time. had it not been for the snowmobile, see, yeah. >> what are you supposed to do? hey, bear, hey, bear, if it's a bear. what are you supposed to do if it's a moose? >> i'm not a moosespert. >> that wasn't a very good one. >> that was terrible! >> "cnn this morning" continues right now.

actions such as this will not be tolerated. when you attack law enforcement officers, when you damage equipment, you are breaking the law. and this wasn't about a public safety training center. this was about anarchy and about the attempt to destabilize. >> good morning, everyone. those are the videos you were seeing of what is happening, what happened in atlanta over the weekend. a violent crowd of protesters clashed with officers as they stormed the construction site of a police training facility in atlanta. we're going to take a deeper look at the tensions that led up to this. what had been building for months. >> and the former president, donald trump, delivered a doozy of a speech at cpac. we're going to break down the fact check on that and some of the downright false claims that he made. plus this. >> y'all know what happened to me. getting smacked by suge smith. >> that is chris rock coming out swinging. what everyone is talking about from this weekend. what he's now saying nearly a year after that infamous slap.

we'll get to that in a moment. but we'll start this morning in atlanta, where investigators say that a violent mob of protesters attacked the construction site of a police and firefighter training facility, throwing bricks, rocks, fireworks, molotov cocktails at officers. they were dressed in camo, their faces were hidden behind masks. some of them were carrying shields. they torched police and construction vehicles along with a trailer that was on site. police officers were outnumbered and overwhelmed. they had to retreat and take cover. you can see fireworks exploding here right next to the officers. this is not exactly a surprise. tensions have been escalating for months over this as some of the protesters and activists are fighting to preserve the forest, while others are opposed to the facility in and of itself. cnn's nick valencia is live in atlanta. nick, police say that about 35 people have been detained. what else do we know about this morning? >> good morning, kaitlan. some dramatic video that we're showing there, in what police are calling a coordinated attack on police. protesters had been in
