melting, all has to go one place, out through the golden gate bridge. under the golden gate bridge. because all the way from down here in bakersfield to all the way north of redding, that only goes one way. the coastal rain here and here stop the water from draining into the ocean. it all drains right through san francisco. and that is where all of this is eventually going to go. and this is the significance problem we're going to see here with some of the rivers rising significantly. >> wow. does it refill the reservoirs or just go out to the ocean? >> it refills a lot of them especially the san joaquins, absolutely. >> that is good news i guess. thanks for joining us. "cnn this morning" starts right now. she was hot. i asked how she was doing? she was crying. her brother got killed. she watched him die.

she watched two of them die. they died in front of her. i got my daughter and she's alive. >> good morning, everyone. welcome to "cnn this morning." we begin with quite an update from mexico. two americans are dead this morning. two are alive though. they are back on u.s. soil after those four were kidnapped at gun point in mexico. we'll break down where they were found and what we're learning about the man who has been detained. later, the family of one of the survivors will also join us. >> more exposure for fox news. a trove of private text messages and e-mails have been revealed as part of a lawsuit against the network. what tucker carlson said about donald trump leading up to the january 6 attack on the capitol. >> also, a bipartisan group of senators are now trying to give president biden more power to ban tiktok in the u.s. cnn this morning starts right now.

we gun with that deadly cud nap -- kidnapping of four americans in mexico. two of them have been found dead. the two survivors brought to the border in an ambulance, protected by heavily armed convoy of mexican soldiers with humvees and machine guns. officials say the group of friends were on a road trip for a surgery procedure. they were caught up in a drug cartel shootout and abducted in broad daylight in one of mexico's most violent and dangerous cities. mexican officials say they were eventually found. they found in this wooden shack. look at that, guarded by a man. the local governor says the cartel moved the americans around to different locations including a medical clin tic to create confusion. this is an image of the woman in the back of an ambulance after

rescued. we'll speak with her mother next. we start in brownsville, texas. rosa, thank goodness two survived and are alive. still, two killed in this. mexican police detained someone? >> they have. according to mexican officials, they detained a 24-year-old man from mexico. they say this man was doing some surveillance on the americans. mexican officials won't say and won't disclose the affiliation of this individual. they went to say if he is related to the criminal organizations here. what mexican officials do say is they received a tip on tuesday morning. they followed that tip and they found the americans who were in mexico getting this medical procedure. what they didn't find is the kidnappers or the killers. >> reporter: two americans back on u.s. soil after a u.s. official says a case of mistaken identity left two of their friends dead. >> we're providing all appropriate assistance to them and their families.

we extend our deepest condolences to the family and loved ones. >> they are safe in receiving medical treatment in texas. two others were killed in the attack. a u.s. official familiar with the investigation told cnn investigators believe a mexican cartel kidnapped the group after mistaking them for haitian drug smugglers. the surveillance video happened in a mexican city. >> translator: authorities there announcing one person held and believed to be connected with the deadly kidnapping, the detained individual has been identified as 24-year-old jose en. according to the governor, the individual kept watch on the captured victims. however, officials would not confirm whether the person is connected to a criminal organization. the incident revived the debate over violent crime in mexico, drawing attention and some

friction between the u.s. and mexican governments. >> ultimately, we want to see accountability for the violence that has been inflicted on these americans that tragically led to the death of two of them. >> translator: we're not allowing any foreign country to intervene on matters that only relate to mexicans. we do not get involved in seeing what the gangs in the united states distributing fend nall a -- fentanyl are up to. >> the review from the mexican president before this admission. >> translator: so there is cooperation, we're working in a coordinated matter with respect to sovereignty. >> reporter: a source familiar with the investigation told cnn the deceased will undergo autopsies by mexican authorities prior to their remains being turned other to the u.s. government. meanwhile -- the mexican president said those responsible will be found and punished. the white house is demanding accountability. >> attacks on u.s. citizens are

unacceptable no matter where or under what circumstances they happen. we'll continue to work closely with the mexican government to ensure justice is done in this case. >> now aside from the investigation that's going on in mexico, the fbi is also conducting a criminal investigation. the fbi saying they're working with the dea and the department of state as well as with the mexican partners. now the fbi also saying that they have sent victims services personnel so they can help the victims and their families and, poppy, the fbi is also working with the department of state to recover the deceased to make sure that they can return to the united states and so they can reunite those individuals with their families. >> of course. tragic. rosa, thank you for the update. next hour, we'll speak with the mother and daughter of mcgee. she has six children. she's one of the two survivors of this. also this morning, new texts

released as part of dominion's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against fox news. they show some of the clearest indications yet that people inside the network had serious doubts and misgivings about the election fraud lies being openly touted on the network. a 2021 e-mail reveals the fox corporation chairman rue pert myrrh dock conceded two of the pop -- rupert murdoch said they went too far and he once said according to the texts that he hoped trump would win win arizona even after fox's own decision desks which makes the election calls was the first to call it for president biden. murdoch saying at the time, quote, he was still hoping for them to prove them wrong. the texts are incredible when you look at what they were saying behind the scenes compared to what we saw publicly. >> quite the contrast. all this comes from the hundreds of pages of previously unrelease

the documents that we got last night. clearly, the most damming rep lagss -- revelations come from rue pert myrrh dock. he is denying conspiracy theories about the dominion voting systems that his own network was promoting. >> reporter: new internal communications from some of fox news' most prominent figures show concerns and misgivings some had about then president trump's election fraud claims and the company's handling of the 2020 election results. according to court documents, host tucker karlsson texted a producer on january 4th 2021. just two days before the capitol attack. we're very, very close to being able to ignore trump most nights. the conversation continues, referring to trump, he says i hate him passionately. i can't handle much more of this. the private communications from tucker karlsson are a sharp

contrast to his public support for the former president as seen on his program that night. >> the president, as you may have heard, believes the election was stolen from him. georgia's secretary of state whose job it is to oversee elections disagrees. you can listen to the call yourself. it's online and make up your own mind about who is right f you have time, you ought to do that. >> reporter: the text messages are part of a trove of documents and communications released tus from dominion voting systems $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network. fox responding to the latest document released in part saying, dominion has been caught red-handed using more distortions and misinformations in the pr campaign to smear fox news and trample on free speech and freedom of the press. dominion saying in a statement that e-mails, texts, and deposition testimony speak for themselves. the communications reveal fox corporation chairman rupert murdoch was furious fox news

called the 2020 election for biden and wrote in an e-mail to the former new york post editor in chief, cnn declares and fox coming in minutes. i hate our decision desk people and polsters. some of the same people, i think. just for the hell of it, still prayer for arizona to prove them wrong, referring to fox news' decision to project biden the winner in arizona. more than a month after the 2020 election, fox news' d.c. managing editor wrote in a private message to a colleague he feared that network's coverage of trump's election fraud claims were becoming a crisis for the company. murde murdoch conceded to suzanne scott in 2021 that some of fox's top talent went too far in their coverage. during his deposition, murdoch asked, do you believe that dominion was engaged in a massive and coordinated effort to steal the 2020 presidential election? murdoch replied, no.

>> dominion has made an effort to show that rue bert that rupe the ability to stop the guests from appearing and repeating these things that he parentally testified he's never believed to be true. both sides of this case have asked a judge to resol of this matter in their favor without going to trial. there is also a slim chance this could settle. if known of that happens, this will go to trial in delaware next month. and this will truly be a landmark case. absolutely one to watch. >> certainly, paula reid. thank you. let's bring in cnn's media analyst and axios media reporter sarah fisher. good morning to you. these text messages are between tucker carlson and what he wrote about trump is amazing. i'll read the entire text message.

i think it's important. i don't want to dumb it down. we're very, very close to being able to ignore trump most nights. i truly can't wait. i hate him passionately. i blew up at peter navarro today in frustration. i can't handle much more of this. that is the last four years. we're pretending we got a lot to show for it. admitting what a disaster it's been too tough to digest. come on, there isn't really any upside to trump. that's pretty harsh. >> very harsh. >> that's not what he's saying on the air. >> definitely not. that's the point the lawyer is making. what dominion is trying to prove is fox news hosts knowingly put stuff on the air they didn't actually believe. and this comes to show that not only did tucker carlson not believe trump, he didn't believe election lies and venting about it and frustrated about it and then completely piston air. it is very strong case for dominion. i thought the other piece of news brought out last night that is a very strong case for them

was rue perpert murdoch said, n. >> what does it say about fox overall? a lot of the concern is the fact they were worried about losing viewers after the election. you know republicans in washington as well as i do, there is a deep mistrust at times of them. and to see a lot of republicans coming out yesterday being so openly critical of some of the hosts that before they would never criticize was remarkable. >> totally remarkable. i'm confused about this, you know, big fear around losing viewers. fox of all the three major cable news networks has always had high ratings. so i don't think that they need to pander to election lies to manage their business. i think they went off the wall there. i think to your point about republicans, they do need to book them. they want to get them on the air. they want to get interviews with them. they want to build an exclusive. that is not just the far right republicans but also house speaker kevin mccarthy. it is also senator mitch mcconnell. >> he was very critical

yesterday. >> very critical of the decision by tucker carlson to continue to sort of release misleading footage from those january 6 case that mccarthy gave him. i think fox is in a precarious position though. the one thing i will say if we take a 30,000 foot view. they're in a precarious position about this lawsuit. but the shareholders have not come down on them. it's not like fox's stock is taking a huge beating because of. this they're going to be frustrated they lose 1.6 billion or more to this defamation suit when it could have gone towards sports rights for fox sports. they just signed tom brady for $375 million. it's not like the shareholders are demanding critical action at this moment. >> i just -- the idea -- i know it's a reality. the shareholders are the ones that kind of have the strongest say in what a news organization puts out there. it is really sad. do we have time to listen to -- i think it's important you mentioned what happened with republicans yesterday. let's listen to what they said. this was about january 6 and

what tucker carlson said. >> it was a mistake in my view for fox news to depict this in a way that was completely against what our chief law enforcement official here at the capitol thinks. >> to somehow put that in the same category as, you know, permitted peaceful protest is just a lie. >> i think it's bull. [ beep ] there were a lot of people in the capitol at the time who i think were fearing for their lives. it was an attack on the capitol. >> i thought it was an insurrection at that time. i think it is an insurrection today. >> what happened that day shouldn't have happened. >> and shouldn't fox news be listening to what is right for journalism? they should report to their viewers exactly what happened? to the lawmakers.

but then as you said, shareholders, you know, that reminder to us. what do you make of that? >> i know for a fact that folks inside fox is someone they want to get away from. republicans clearly want to get away from trump. he caused them the midterm last election. and fox news wants to get away from trump. i think it will be wise to listen to them. i don't know why they're not. >> they have distanced themselves from trump, i think, since he announced re-election. >> lawmakers or fox news? >> fox. >> but painting january 6 in this light is not distancing yourself from trump. it is the most intense thing can you do relink yourself to donald trump. i don't know why they would do i it if the republicans go to the extreme ends. >> sarah fisher, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thank you. today is international women's day. and throughout the show this morning, we'll spotlight the

hard fought battles of women, many of the battles continuing across the globe. first, let's take you to ukraine. >> i'm in kyiv where this international women's day is being marked with all the more peace for the war. war that changed so much and what was a relatively patriot city. the number of women signing up to the army since the invasion began last february going to 50,000 from the 30,000 hit been and, of course, all the women that had to pick up the jobs in the mines, fields, factories, that the men left behind even as they continue to carry the burden of looking after their n famil families in the middle of a war. and a hunter. that's why you need versatilele, durable kubota equipment. okay everyone, our mission is complete balanced nutrition. together we support immune function. supply fuel for immune cells

their lives will lose their jobs? >> i don't -- i don't have that number in front of me. i will will say it's -- >> it's just a -- it's in your report and that will be about two million people. who would lose their jobs. if you could speak directly to the two million hard-working people who have decent jobs today who your planning to get fired over the next year, what you would say to them? >> i would explain to people more broadly that inflation is extremely high. it's hurting the working people of this country badly. all of them. not just two million of them. but all of them are suffering under high inflation. and we're taking the only measures we have to bring inflation down. >> the only tool they have. our chief business correspondent is here. one thing that is not in the cut that powell said is maybe we can do it without all of the people

getting fired. it could be with less job openings. >> that is the best outcome. the job market is so strong and going to spin off inflation. that's what the fed is really worried about. look, this means something for every american here. the whether you're talking about your job or talking about all these ways of higher interest rates are going to affect you. i want to just look at the mortgage market, for example. 30 year fixed rate mortgages are tied to these federal reserve rate hikes. you already seen mortgage rates rising here. you're paying about $700 more a month on a typical mortgage today -- a new mortgage than if you got that mortgage last year. on credit card interest rates. those are record highs here. 19% for a typical credit card interest rate. this bears repeating. if you are putting money on a card and not paying it off, you will spend a long time and a lot of money to get out from under that debt. so that's a really important part here, too. now in savings rates, you're seeing a little money. eventually you might get a

little more by having your money in a certificate of depositor in a savings account. that lagged, i'm going to say, sadly. but eventually saving money because of these higher rates could be a little more advantageous. it's just not happening. you will feel higher rates in everything and the fed is signalling higher rates for longer here. >> higher rates because the economy is so strong. doesn't this just signal declining confidence in the fed's abuilility to bring inflan down? >> that's one of the worries. the fed only has that one big tool and that is raising interest rates. they've done it eight times. how come inflation is still above 6%? how come consumers are so flush with cash and spending so robustly? you have underlying strength in this economy that means the fed has to move harder to get these interest rates higher so that they can cool down the economy. and that could throw the economy into a recession. it's very, very dangerous and delicate balance the federal

reserve is trying to do. i think what we heard from the fed chief yesterday is that this economy has been stronger than they thought. it really has been. and we're going to hear a lot more information over the next week to ten days that could, i think, really rattle markets and rattle that confidence in whether the fed has done the right thing at the right time here. >> yeah. feels like that 2% inflation target is so far away. >> so far away. >> christine romans, thank you. >> nice to see you guys. >> we'll see. thank you. let's talk about tiktok now. viral tiktok dances like this -- ♪ >> i thought you were going to do it. >> no. >> could be in jeopardy. the social platform facing the threat of being banned in the united states. we're going to tell you why. mucinex nightshift fights your worst nighttime symptoms so you can get to sleep and wake up ready to go. how could you? wake up to a new you.

now i'll have that song stuck in my head all day. >> right? >> tiktok. okay. so tiktok trends like that dance, that challenge could soon be a thing of the past. you know why? the white house backing a new bipartisan bill that could potentially ban tiktok citing national security concerns about the popular chinese known video app. it is used by more than 100 million americans including my sister who is watching who is saying you can't ban tiktok, no, please don't do it. live on capitol hill this morning, good morning to you. this does have bipartisan support. so what does it look like? >> good morning, don. i'll have that song stuck in my head. this bill is just the latest proposal on capitol hill to threaten tiktok's future in the united states. the act is sponsored by mark warner head of the intelligence committee and john thune, a member of the gop leadership

team. they are not going to ban tiktok outright but they will have a new process to take action against foreign technology companies if they have a presence in the united states and if there is a security risk. indeed, with tiktok, the intelligence community determined there are risks to american data. they're concerned about the chinese are using the app for surveillance purposes. that is why president biden's security adviser said the president does support this bill. but, don, even with the bipartisan support on capitol hill and even with biden's backing, proponents acknowledge it is going to be very difficult to persuade those 100 million americans like your sister who use the app and aren't convinced of the national security risk. and meanwhile, you have law makers that say the bill doesn't go far enough. they're pushing for a full on ban. >> what is tiktok saying? >> tiktok, of course, is pushing back aggressively. a spokesperson for the company said this is going to stifle american speech.

but that has not stopped policymakers from seeking tougher action against the company. don? >> all right. thank you very much. all right. ahead for us, gender equity is good economics. that's what the head of the international monetary fund told us ahead to have day, international women's day. our sit down with her about the global kbhe economy and her pus ahead. >> we have the latest on the deaths of two americans in mexico and how it put the risk on medical tourism. our team is going to look at how common it actually really is and how dangerous it could be.

chinchts's modernization means that women have made large economic and generational gains.

but president xi is taking them back in a patriarchal direction. gender-based workplace discrimination is rampant. major wage gaps remain. as china struggles with record low birth rates, women are now being pressured into taking on more traditional roles and to have more babies. activists say domestic violence against women is common. the legal system is stacked against women. meanwhile, the communist party repeatedly silences and cracks down on feminists. >> today is international women's day. we're highlighting the challenges women are facing across the globe. we also want to highlight a global leader pushing for economic inclusion and empowerment of women. the head of the international monetary fund. the imf has 200 member countries working together trying to stabilize the global economy. it's been called the world's financial crisis firefighter.

the trillion drollars to bail ot the country if needed. i sat down with the imf chief a lot. we began with international women's day. >> i don't have to tell you, traditionally it's been men in positions of power like yours. but now we have more women. we have you. we have u.s. treasury secretary janet yellen. we have european central bank president. how does that reality finally change the reality for women around the world? >> having more women in position of authority brings more diversity in decision making. and the result is we make better decisions. i still recognize that we have a long way to go, poppy. today only 5% of ceos p pof big companies are women. we want to see more of this in coming in years ahead.

gender equality is good economics. labor markets participation of women has gone up. but it is way below labor market participation of male. and what is the result? we release growth and society is poorer. just to give you the number. if we get women to participate in the labor market, it's par with men, the global gdp is going to be 20% bigger. so imagine what we can do with 20% more that we can collectively produce and then can enjoy. >> i think about this also in the context of you as the leader of the imf. because you're also the first managing director of the imf who grew up behind the iron curtain. grew up in bulgaria. you grew up under communism. and you talked about the real

impact on ordinary people of bad policies. and i wonder if you are seeing that play out now. >> i see day in and day out in so many countries where poor policies punish people and who suffers the most? it is the most vulnerable. women always taking the brunt of those poor policies. i remember as a young mother getting up at 4:00 in the morning to go to buy milk for my daughter. and i know that in many, many societies, if only we allow women to have a stronger voice in decision making, so much better would be the road ahead. >> so let's talk about the global economy. don, kaitlan and i on the show all the time talk about how confusing all of these economic

indicators are. such a strong labor market. there is real concerns about if we're headed into a recession both in europe and the united states. what do you see? >> what i see is one indeed a positive surprise in terms of resilience of the economies about the u.s. and europe. and especially the resilience of the labo r market. we don't see global recession in the cuts this year. we do see, however, growth slowing down from 3.4% last year to 2.9% this year.

good news on the labor market front. not so good on the inflation fighting side. if we don't have price stability, we cannot have strong foundation for reviving growth. >> what does that mean you believe federal reserve chair jerome powell should do? >> stay the course. big data dependent as he has been so far. and keep driving inflation down. we think it might take a little longer. so higher for longer when it comes down to interest rates, maybe what we experience this year. >> your advice to the u.s. federal reserve is higher interest rates than expected and holding them higher for longer. how can the result of that not be a recession? >> we still believe that there is a narrow path to avoid recession by being very careful

in how the fight against inflation goes forward. >> there are also major headwinds potentially to the u.s. economy. there are self inflicted, right? there's a big question about -- and you talked about whether the u.s. congress is about to shoot itself in the foot vis-a-vis the debt ceiling. you were just with janet yellen. she warned of a global financial crisis. if essentially congress doesn't do its job and address the debt ceiling, do you have a warning to both democrats and republicans in congress right now? >> we have to be very watchful on issues that can affect the world economy today. why? because it is a difficult time for the world, poppy. i think more uncertainty to what is already highly uncertain environment, not the way to go. and knowing that the dollar is the world's preferred reserve

currency that financial stability globally depends on stability in the dollar markets means that we have to be all extra careful. but, if you take history as our guide, it tells us that if a solution is found. >> we have a few questions on russia and ukraine. you met with president zelenskyy last month. and we should note, your experience with this is also very personal given your brother was in harkiv during the russian invasion. you've been warning the world that we may be sleep walking into a new cold war. >> it is, first, very important to recognize that ukraine is fighting not only for its existence. it is fighting for rule of law in the world. without which it is very hard to

imagine prosperous society. but also, we have to be concerned about the direction we are taking as a global economy. a more fragmented world, one inh blocks trade with each other is a poorer world and one that is less secure. >> so interesting to see her say she thinks powell should stay the course. >> absolutely. she has no question about raising rates higher, keeping them longer is what you have to do. i'm so fascinated by with her as a leader is she lived it. we talked a little bit about growing up in bulgaria under communism and the impact of bad policies and bad decision making, what that has on real ordinary people and the poorest among us. so that's her warning. >> i was thinking the whole time, so many other countries have women as world leaders. and we haven't. you know? we have leaders in other but not
