everywhere. you can all run away. i won't kill you. >> just a terrifying moment again in the sky, we're glad you're with us this morning. it's tuesday. look at what happened on that united flight. a passenger accused of trying to stab a flight attendant. we'll speak with the person on that plane who actually filmed that video. plus, americans kidnapped at gun point in mexico. possibly a case of mistaken identity. and it looks like weight watchers could be in the ozempic weight loss craze that's been happening. ♪ good morning, everyone. we're glad you're with us. another terrifying incident in

the sky. this man tried to open an emergency exit door on the plane and tried to stab a flight attendant in the neck with a broken metal spoon during a united flight from los angeles to boston yesterday. other passengers tackled and restrained him. watch this video. >> put your hands up here. don't approach me. i'm taking over this plane. >> oh, my god. ih-oh. >> i'm telling you right now -- >> oh, did he grab a gun? >> [ bleep ]. >> we'll be joined by the woman who filmed that video during our 8:00 hour. the man was agitated and zip tied for the rest of the flight. a whole string of scary

incidents putting a spotlight on aviation safety. police say severe turbulence killed a woman over the weekend. and two united flights collided on the tarmac at boston logan international airport. the faa is investigating planes when a jetblue nearly collided with another plane. >> allegedly stabbed the flight attendant. he did. but he tried to open the door in mid-flight. they got an emergency alarm that the door to the plane had been disarmed. and the slides, the slide lever had been disarmed, too. that's really frightening. you know, what do you say?

you don't want to hear i'm going to take you over this plane. >> it takes you right back. well, we're going to move on. this morning, we know the identities the of four americans kidnapped at gunpoint. they were traveling, one of them could undergo a medical procedure. live in houston this morning with the latest on the investigation. >> reporter: you know, don, very little is being released by both mexico and u.s. authorities. but we're learning more about these missing americans from their loved ones. they're telling cnn they're a group of friends, from south carolina, and they include a mom of six who was supposed to be in mexico for a medical procedure

but she never made her appointment. four u.s. citizens were kidnapped in a case of mistaken identity according to u.s. officials. they believe the mexican cartel mistook the americans for haitian drug smugglers. family members told cnn the group was traveling to mexico for a medical procedure. according to the fbi the four crossed the border with a white mini van with south carolina license plate. when they were fired upon on identified gunmen. in this video obtained by cnn, armed men are putting four people in a bed of a white pickup truck. it's unclear if they're the missing americans. in this photo a woman is sitting by three people with all the doors open. a u.s. official with knowledge of the investigation awe then

tated them. a northern city, the incident highlights the ongoing violence in some mexican cities which have been wracked by organized crime at least since the mexican drug war began in 2006. >> we remind americans about the existing travel guidance, remains at level 4, we encourage americans to heed that advice. >> reporter: the kidnapped americans weren't identified by officials but two families from lake city, south carolina, confirmed to cnn their loved ones are among those kidnapped. spoke to the fbi on sunday when she realized her brother and his three friends, were missing in mexico, brown's mother said she didn't know her son was traveling to mexico. >> when i found out he was en route in mississippi.

>> reporter: brown's sister tells the cnn affiliate she was uneasy about his trip. >> i told him i had a dream. i'm just checking on you. that's what i told him on thursday. friday morning i texted him. >> reporter: her mother last spoke to her daughter on friday. kidnapped and in danger. burgess is hopeful for her daughter a mother of six children will be released. >> these sorts of attacks are unacceptable. >> reporter: >> rosa, the you know the border well, how common is it for americans to go to mexico for medical care? >> reporter: you know, don, it happens every day, i grew up in the rio grande valley, i grew going to mexico for medical care. when you're a border kid and you don't have money for medical

care in the united states that's what you do. that's what a lot of families do. of course word has spread and there's medical tourism if you will, individuals from other parts of the country that go to these mexican border towns to get medical care, to get procedures. but i can tell you from growing up there, when you grow up there, when you know people both sides of the border, you have the cell numbers or whatsapp numbers for those who live on the mexican side. the other thing that i know we did growing up you also determined what bridge you're going to cross over based on how safe it is. what i mean is, this happened just about 35 miles to the west is progresso, texas.

what happens in that location, you can drive to progresso, texas, park your car and walk across the bridge. there are dentists, general practitioners, again there's a lot of local knowledge that's exchanged when individuals go and get medical attention on the mexican side. but a lot of that is information that the locals have. these individuals were coming from out of state. i don't know the connection. it's very common. people do it every single day. want to turn to some news first broken here on cnn, mike pence has asked a judge to block a federal grand jury subpoena on the grounds that he's protected by the constitution's speech for debate clause. filed the motion on friday the

same day trump's legal team argued to block that subpoena because of executive privilege. pence's team is hoping to block him from testifying anything pertaining to his legislative functions that day. this is because the former vice president is arguing because he was also acting as the president of the senate on january 6th he's shielded by the speech or debate clause. one thing that could complicate matters here is that pence has written a me memoir about interactions with his boss. >> i was fascinated by the fact that he's saying this was in my capacity, in the senate that

day. >> yeah, it could be a legal argument that works. we don't know. let's move on to this. the fbi has issued an arrest warrant for the january 6th defendant who seems to have gone missing. people are looking for olivia pollock, according to this warrant, court officials haven't been able to locate her since late february. paula reid joins us with more. what have you learned about the defendant. >> reporter: as you just said they've been looking for her since late last month. she's charged with four other co-defendants is what's described as prosecutors as a coordinated attack on law enforcement. she's accused of elbowing an officer in the chest. but hers wasn't the only warrant issued yesterday. they issued a warrant for her co-defendant accused of pulling

back a fence during the riot. he's also accused of punching and grabbing the sleeve of an officer. now, both of them are still scheduled to be tried later this year but that's only if of course they can be located. >> one of the things that's interesting, like a lot of the defendants, because there are hundreds, she wasn't held in jail before the trial, i believe she had a gps monitoring system? wh >> yes. >> do we know why? >> we learned that the fbi allegedly believes that both pollock and hutchinson tampered with or removed the monitors. they have retrieved one monitor. at this time they're both missing thank you for the reporting. also this morning, we're watching fox news and how they are getting special access to

footage from january 6th. this is something that premiered last night on tucker carlson's show in an attempt to rewrite what happened on january 6th as they revealed a portion of the 40,000 hours of footage that was given to fox news and only to fox news by house speaker kevin mccarthy. tucker aired a portion in an attempt to sanitize it. >> the crowd was enormous. a small percentage of them were hooligans. we've seen their pictures over and over again. they were peaceful, they were orderly and meek. these were not insurrectionists they were sight seers. footage inside the capitol overturns the story you heard about january 6th. they give each other tours outside the speaker's office. they're not destroying the capitol, they obviously revered

the capitol. >> of course many of the people you see in these videos here as we have covered here were actually charged with crimes for what happened on january 6th. 326 were charged with assaulting, resisting or impedingimpede ing officers or employees. some left with head wounds, cracked ribs, joining us now to talk about media analyst sarah fisher. we knew this was coming. we knew he had gotten access to this. kevin mccarthy is trying to disseminate more of it. >> he says it was exclusive to fox news. the problem is, an exclusive is done so you set the tone of the story. once you get it to other outlets others will try to analyze the best they can and their analysis

will look different. now a narrative has been set. a new york post showed the tour defarce. an example of when you do an exclusive how the narrative is set for the next day and the next coming days. tucker carlson said he's going to release more footage tonight. >> you've been talking about this all morning. >> this is again the danger of when kevin mccarthy and this also the relationship we're talking about with fox news, look at the situation they're in now with dominion, this is the danger of fairness, unfairness, they should give it to every news organization at the same time, analyze each in real time a especially someone who's not considered to be a journalist. >> if kevin mccarthy thought

there was a problematic that the media covered january 6th, give it to your colleagues in congress and let them run an investigation on it. i cover media and tech. this is becoming a bigger trend. elon musk hand picking journalists he's going to do these big doc dumps with. kevin mccarthy doing the same thing at fox, this is how you create this shock and awe factor to create the new narratives. don't expect this to go away. moving forward expect people in power to pick their favorite journalists and outlets. >> let's take officer brian sicknick, tucker carlson addressed him on the air last night. >> here's surveillance footage of sicknick walking in the capitol after he was supposedly murdered by the mob outside.

by all appearances sicknick is healthy and vigorous, wearing a helmet so it's hard to imagine he was killed by a head injury. whatever happened to brian sicknick wasn't the result of violence he suffered at the entrance to the capitol. this tape overturns the us useful lie that democrats have told us. >> for the sicknick family they say doing things like that, organizations like fox, rip our wounds wide open and just looking back at what the medical examiner said, although, they said he died of natural causes, the medical examiner went on to say, all that transpired played a role in his condition. these are real people who died. >> yeah, trying to sanitize that day is trying to sanitize the deaths of all the people that occurred that day and all the people who maybe they didn't die but they suffered mental

illness, think about the capitol police officers, the capitol hill staff members. kevin mccarthy's own staff inside that own building. i hope those tapes get released more broadly so the media can cover what happened. >> how the capitol police officers acting that day, they felt like they couldn't engage in a certain way with the rioters because they were outnumbered. they were so greatly outnumbered. when they say, they're just walking them through, they're doing this, that's their testimony. >> can i just read this -- every time the pain the ebbed a bit, organizations like fox news rip our wounds wide open again. >> it's devastating. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. new overnight the secretary of -- defense secretary lloyd

welcome back to "cnn this morning." china's new foreign minister has issued a rebuke of u.s. policies as tensions between the two largest economies continue to soar. conflict and confrontation is inevitable if washington doesn't change course. he defended beijing's close partnership with moscow. what i think is so interesting about him, this guy is a very accomplished, longstanding diplomat, he knows the weight of his words. the fact that he said if the united states doesn't hit the brakes but continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailing. what does that mean? >> reporter: poppy, as you mentioned, this man was china's

top diplomat appearing on sunday's talk shows, he's using words that become more stern, more strong, more pointed and first of all, he's accusing the u.s. of trying to create nato-style alliance in asia going on to warn that if things persist that there could be a yaen-like crisis again under this backdrop of asia. the quote you pointed out it's worth repeating because it's so focused and targeted to the u.s., if the u.s. doesn't hit the brakes but continues to speed down the wrong path, no amount of guardrails can prevent derailing and there surely will be conflict and confrontation. these are really strong words. interesting to note today, poppy, he made reference once again to the u.s. shootdown of that suspected spy balloon again, suggesting it was an overreaction.

>> what's also striking from this is the fact that he is essentially defended what u.s. intelligence officials are worried could be china providing lethal aid to russia by saying it would be the same as the defensive aid that the united states sells to taiwan, what did you take from that? >> reporter: oh, no question. this opportunity to make this reference to make this comparison to taiwan, he did so, but yet the u.s. has remained steadfast saying that taiwan is a sovereign nation and it has a right to defend itself. we also heard language from the government today saying that taiwan is very much part of our territory and we have the right to reunite it. a constant back and forth on a familiar theme, but again, just reinforced thorough in a very

"cnn this morning" continues right now. i will kill every man on this plane. so where are they? where's homeland security? pull the gun, pull the gun.
