energy to alliances and to allies that was absent. that has given our allies confidence like japan to increase the defense budget. to be more active on the diplomatic arena and stage. >> finally, the ambassador does not feel that diplomacy is dead. he pointing to a disagreement between japan and south korea to resolve a long time labor dispute that goes back many, many decades. the dispute had mechanic, social, political, and economic reprecushions for this entire region, kaitlan. >> yeah. we should note that comes as south korea is getting the next st state dinner at the white house as well. and "cnn this morning" continues right now.

>> to put that in a 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 feared for their lives. it was an attack on the capitol. >> i thought it was an insurrection that time and i think it was an insurrection today. >> why don't you tell us how you really feel? i thought it was -- you know what he said. >> they were there that day. so they believed it. >> yeah. but what's the picture that many americans are getting from watching tucker karlsson. >> good morning, everyone. welcome. so fox news host tucker carlson facing criticism after he aired selective footage and said that

most of the rioters were peaceful sight seers. >> we're going to show you the new trove of new private text messages and e-mails from inside of fox news. we're also getting an inside look at the internal crisis over fox news' coverage of conspiracies and what tucker carlson really thinks about president trump. >> and we're following the latest updates on the deadly kidnapping of four americans. two are dead. two are alive and in the united states. "cnn this morning" starts right now. >> we're going to begin with this. we begin this hour with the deadly kidnapping of the four americans in mexico. >> two of them found dead. two survivors brought to the border in an ambulance protected by a heavily convoy of humvees and machine guns. the group of friends were on a

road trip for a cosmetic surgery procedure when they were caught up in a drug cartel shootout and abducted in broad daylight and one of mexico's most violent and da dangerous cities. they were eventually found in this wooden shack guarded by a man. the local governor says the cartel moved the americans around to different locations in medical clinics to create confusion. they are back in the ambulance after the rescue. rosa flores is in brownsville, texas, for us this morning where survivors are recovering this morning. mexican police have detained a person in connection with the kidnapping. what do you know? >> they apprehended a 24--year-old man who was conducting surveillance on the americans. now the mexican officials will not say if this individual is linked to criminal organizations

in the area. they will say that the kidnappers moved the americans around several times. it is not to those responsible for the kidnapping or the killing. >> two americans back on u.s. soil after a u.s. official said the case of exciting mistaken identity left two friends dead. >> we're providing all appropriate assistance to them and their families. we extend our deepest condolences. >> they were safe in receiving medical treatment in texas. brown and wood ard were killed in the attack. they kidnapped the group after mistaking them for haitian drug smugglers. the deadly incident seen here in this video happened in the mexican border city.

authorities there announcing one person arrested. 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 n mexic 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 do not get involved in the gangs in united states distributie fentanyl are up to. >> the sharp rebuke after this

admission. >> translator: so there is cooperation. we are working in a coordinated manner with respect to sovereignty. mexican authorities prior to the remains being turned over 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. >> our affiliate wpbe spoke to her mom from the hospital bed and they say that washington mcgee was shaken. she was crying as you might imagine. still distraught by what she experienced and also she said she witnesses her two friends die. so just unimaginable and intense dramatic moment foz are this family. don? >> rosa flores, thank you very much. also this morning, the latest on the lawsuit against fox news. these quotes that we're getting from texts overnight, quote, we're very, very close to being able to ignore trump most nights. i truly can't wait. another one, i hate him passionately. one more, we're all officially working for an organization that hates us. those are quotes from the most prominent host at fox news. am they were released as part of dominion's $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit that show some of the clearest indications we've seen yet that people

inside the network, many of them had serious doubts and misgivings about the election fraud lies that were being openly touted on the network. paula reid is covering this. >> you're right, kaitlan. of it's incredible. if you look at the hundreds of pages of previously unreleased documents, what you see is a network that is embracing the conspiracy theories amid concerns about declining ratings. so even though behind the scenes, they are slamming the conspiracy theories, slamming trump himself on air. you see them promoting both because there is this constant concern about the bottom line. >> reporter: the company's handling of the 2020 election

results is in question. according to court documents, host tucker carlson texted a producer on january 4th, 2021. we're very, very close to being able to ignore trump most nights. the conversation continues, referring to trump, carlson said, i hate him passionately. i can't handle much more of this. the private communications from carlson are a sharp contrast to the 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 the conversations is online. you can make up your own mind. the. >> text messages are part of a trove of communications leased tuesday from dominion voting systems from the defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network. fox respond together latest document released in part saying dominion is caught red-handed,

using more distortions and misinformation and the pr campaign to smear fox news and trample on free speech and free press. they say the documents speak for themselves. the communications reveal that 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 polesters. some of the same people, i think. 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 the network's coverage of trump's election fraud claims were becoming a crisis for the company. murdoch conceded in an e-mail to suzanne scott in january 2021 that some of fox's top talent went too far in their coverage.

>> do you believe that dominion was engaged in a massive and coordinated effort to steal the 2020 presidential election? murdoch reflied, no. we plied, no. >> dominion made an effort to show that rupert murdoch was hands on. he was aware of what people were saying on his air. he had the ability to stop these guests from appearing and repeating these things. >> both judge asked them to resolve the case in their favor without going to trial. if not, it will go to trial in delaware beginning next month. >> is there any chance they could settle? i imagine that is what a lot of people whose texts are coming out are thinking about right now. what do you i what is your sense? >> you make a great point, kaitlan. and there certainly a chance that this could settle. but there is no sign right now that any settlement is in the works.

dominion is asking for $1.6 billion. if they settle, they could settle for an amount much less than that. if this goes to a jury, the jury could award something higher. of it's a calculus for the companies right now. usually defamation is very difficult to prove. most legal experts review the evidence that we were reporting on, they said, look this is a pretty strong case. you have mult um fox news personalities and executives admitting that they knew that what they were saying on air was just not true. so this is an incredibly strong case for sure, unclear how it will pan out. this is a huge case for the country. don if, you're a legal nerd it has not revealed itself to me yet. call me. i would like to talk any time. >> i can't wait. i'm just going to bug him all day with legal ease.

>> you have seen the glasses? come on. >> i have. >> so, paula, to your point, i'm obsessed with this case and totally fascinated. >> this could be precedence. >> totally. >> we'll watch it closely. we know you will as well, paula. thank you. all right. let's talk about what is happening in the skies and in our airports, right? this morning on capitol hill, the acting administrator of the federal aviation administration will face congressional lawmakers against the backdrop of six major runway incidents and near miss this is year. they have not permanently filled this position yet. that is another story. so the acting administrator came before the senate panel last month after the system outages. now he's there again. what are you expecting? >> law makes have the chance to press him here. ahead of the safety summit that the faa auns noed next week, look at the time line here. we're averaging one of these incidents every ten days.

we heard of another one on monday. jfk, honolulu, austin, sayer tota, burbank, boston. this is the chance where lawmakers could really ask what is the issue here? it is a problem with the faa? or is it a problem at the airlines? i want you to listen now. he said we just cannot become complaisant in the aviation system because so much is on the line. >> i can say without reservation that the aviation professionals who compromise the american airspace industry are part of the safety record. we all know that complicacy has no place in air transportation. whether it is on the flight deck, control tower, ramp or the dispatch center. >> i was told this just symptomatic of all the problems of the aviation system has seen lately with so many retirement

ands new pilots coming in, so much operational pressure from the airlines. and now it's being shown up in the aviation system. we're seeing all of the close calls, poppy. >> we are. but are they more or are we hearing about them more from great reporters like you? is it really happening more? >> this is something that i've been digging in on. because of the attention on this, that could cause a greater change in safety. so, we're seeing more of these incidents that are more egregious. some are bigger than others. the jfk in austin incident, those are the severe ones. although, we're learning of some also where the planes really may have not been all that close to one another. so there is a high number of runway incursions overall

nationwide. >> thank you for the reporting, pete. >> the headline of the oklahoman this morning. take a look at this. the state votes down proposal to legalize recreational marijuana. the measure would have allowed anyone over the age of 21 to purchase and possess up to one ounce of marijuana. supporters of the measure argue legalization would bring in millions of new tax revenue because there would be -- there would have been a 15% state sales tax. critics say it would have led to a rise in crime and violence and put children in harm's way. this is just the latest failure for legalization advocates. voters in it arkansas, south dakota, north dakota, defeated referendums in november. maryland and missouri approved them. so there you go. if you're interested in this you've been talking about it. and you, with kids, are concerned about -- it hasn't

been tested enough. there is not enough research. >> i don't know the research. what do you think? >> i don't have an opinion on it. i do think, you know, what you heard from the people who are organized, i'm going to say it's not a question of if if but when. oklahoma did approve medical marijuana five years ago. i think you have seen some states taken it up. it is very popular. and some rejected it. >> i also think alcohol has to be part of the conversation. >> you just -- i don't have to say anything. yeah. >> alcohol can be much, much worse. people have -- >> absolutely. >> have bigger issues of alcohol avs right now. the research that we have now. >> yes. i think of it differently when i think about my kids and i think it about alcohol too. >> i just know walking around new york city, you can barely go outside without smelling marijuana. >> it's true. it's true. >> it's legal now. >> it's true. >> all right. also this morning, our own wolf blitzer just interviewed the ukrainian president zelenskyy. he asked him this key question -- >> how worried are you about

this trend among some republicans that it could threaten the flow of support to ukraine? >> find out what president zelenskyy's answer was next. wolf will join us live with his exclusive interview. >> there he is. wolf blitzer. when you havave chronic kidney disease. there are places you'd like to be. like here. and here. anhere. not so much here. if you've been diagned with chronic kidney disease farxiga reduces the risk of kidney failure which can lead to dialysis. farxiga can cause serious side effects including dehydration, urinary tract or genital yeast infections in women and men, and low blood sugar. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may lead to death. a rare life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking farxiga and call your doctor right away

what a time to be alive. introducing the next generation 10g network. only from xfinity. the future starts now. welcome back to "cnn this morning." we're hearing from president zelenskyy in a brand new interview with wolf blitzer. president zelenskyy making the case for continued bipartisan support of ukraine right here in the united states. watch this. >> house speaker kevin mccarthy and house of representatives here in washington says he supports ukraine but doesn't support a blank check, a blank check for ukraine. that criticism is being echoed by former president trump.

possible leading contenders for the republican nomination. how worried are you, president zelenskyy, how worried are you about this trend among some republicans that it could threaten the flow of support to ukraine? >> translator: firstly, i would like to thank the bipartisan support of ukraine. it's very important. i had a meeting with representatives of the republican party. and thankful to congressman who visited ukraine. they want to support ukraine very much like democrats and don't want to slow down. we have a different approach. we want to give more now but not dragging it forever. that was the signal. we don't care about i think

speaker ckevin mccarthy 9/11 visited ukraine. i think it would help his position. when the democrats and republicans come to us, they see the supply routes. every shell, every bullet every dollar. he has to come here to see how we work. what is happening here. but war caused people fighting, who is fighting. and then after that, make the assumptions. >> so let's bring in cnn's anchor of ""the situation room,"" wolf blitzer. his full interview president zelenskyy airs tonight. a special 9:00 p.m. hour. wolf, i can't wait to see the rest of it. i think my first question to you is how confident or not does he actually feel that this new congress will continue supporting ukraine at the level that the united states has been?

>> he was very confident in what he's seen so far. there have been several bipartisan congressional delegations that have actually come to kyiv, visited ukraine, and he says he gets that kind of positive reaction from democrats and republicans. he's very encouraged. he did go out of his way to invite the new speaker of the house of representatives, kevin mccarthy, to come to ukraine as you just heard. he wants kevin mccarthy to come and see what's going on. he feels that anyone who comes to ukraine and sees the devastation, see what's the russians have been doing to residential apartment buildings throughout country. and sees the devastation that it has caused for the people of ukraine, what the russians are doing. he says that they will then come back to the united states and support continued military and economic assistance for ukraine which is so important. he would love kevin mccarthy to vi visit but kevin mccarthy declined. >> he seemed to say he's getting

briefings. he doesn't have to go to kyiv to see it and understand what is going on. there is an argument am that if you go there, you do see how they are tracking what the u.s. is sending in these massive amounts. i thought what he said was interesting, wolf. he said republicans, what they told him was we want to give more now but not drag it out forever. that is a popular remark among republicans that it is not something that can go on, you know, in entirety. >> it was clear to me, kaitlan, that he is following all the nuances of what republicans and democrats with the biden administration are saying, what the republican opposition is saying here in washington. he's very well plugged in on all of the nuances of what's going on. he is sensitive to it and appreciates the ukrainians need extensive u.s. military support. he made that pitch when president biden visited kyiv not that long ago. he made that pitch, the ukrainians need the fighter jets.

they need longer range missiles. he said that will do the job and the ukrainians can still win this war. if the u.s. and the other nato allies, for example, step up and continue to help ukraine. >> i was just sitting here and playing the clip, wolf. i wanted to hear more. i can't wait to hear more tonight. >> yeah. >> he was very blunt and didn't mince any words. he was so appreciative of what the united states has done for ukraine. and what the visit by biden alone, he said, really encouraged the people of ukraine. it gave them hope that this thing could be -- that their victory could be achieved. and he was very, very, very, very tough on the russians. saying they don't care how many dead russian soldiers. he said the ukrainians, we know the names of every ukrainian soldier that is killed anticipate where this war continues. >> thanks, wolf.

>> can't wait to watch it. thank you, wolf. >> you can see his full interview tonight as don was saying, we want to see more. you'll see the entirety of the interview 9:00 p.m. tonight on cnn prime time. >> also in a few hours from now, the house foreign affairs committee is going to hold their first hearing on the u.s. exit from afghanistan in 2021. the republican led panel wants to put the biden administration under the microscope over the plan and the execution of the withdrawal. something republicans vou to do if they retook the house majority. today's hearing we're told is going to lean on testimony from volunteers who assisted in that massive evacuation. president biden for his part, rejected criticism of the exit and has instead hailed it as an extraordinary success when it came to that massive evacuation in kabul. >> i was not going to extend this forever war. i was not extending a forever exit. the decision to end the military and operations at kabul airport

was based on unanimous recommendation of my civilian and military advisors. >> joining us now is a member of the foreign affairs committee and former green beret who served in afghanistan, republican congressman michael walt. thank you for joining us. i know you and your staff were deeply involved in assisting with the evacuations at the time. what specifically, what information are you looking to find out today? >> kaitlan, you're going to hear today from the veterans' volunteer groups, the grassroots organizations that had to stand up in a vacuum, frankly, that found themselves as private citizens getting call after call, desperate pleas from people they fought alongside our afghan allies and from americans that were being left behind during withdraw. they found themselves chartering planes, arranging international flights, arranging country clearances.

coordinating safe houses to avoid the taliban that were hunting these people down. you'll hear the outrage from them. you'll hear how they felt betrayed by their own government, their phenomenal frustration with the state department who just wasn't getting the job done. and you're also going to hear from these veterans, many of them who have exhausted their personal savings, their kids' 529 plans, are going into divorce because they refuse to ever leave a comrade behind. finally, you're going to hear from a marine sniper and an army m medic who were at abby gate and you'll hear afghans throwing themselves on barb wire to commit suicide rather than go out back to the taliban. and that one of these snipers actually had the abby gate bomber in his suight and not given permission to take him out. now we have 13 dead more service members.

today is about accountability. even as i say this i'm getting upset and frustrated. all that is boiling up for the last two years. and finally these veterans, these marines and soldiers that had to endure this are going to have an outlet today. they're going to be heard. and the entire community that was involved in this, i think will be channeling their frustration through these heroes that we'll hear from today. >> yeah. we all watched it play out in real time. seeing the stories, witnessing what you're talking about there. when it comes to the gop criticism overall of the biden administration exit, when they left, you know some of the pushback that you're going to get from the white house. it is in part talking about how they believe the stage was in part set because of the agreement that was signed by the trump administration in doha with the taliban. >> that is such -- i'm so sick of that excuse. the biden administration had no problem walking away from the paris accords, the trump administration's policy on iran,

title xlii or the remain in mexico on the border. we can go down the long list of trump policies that they walked away from. yet on this one we want to believe that their hands were tied? i don't buy it for a second. you'll hear from the veterans today that were so morally injured to hear their commander in chief rather than say we can ko have done this better, we could have done better in this withdrawal, this was just an outstanding success. it's politics and spin at its worst when so many people are dead and those gold star families deserve accountability and they haven't had a single question answered by this administration and come hell or high water, we're going to get it for them. >> yeah. >> i want to move on. you introduced a new resolution, you want to give the president

the authority to use the u.s. military against cartels in mexico. how do you envision that actually working? what does that look like? is that boots on the ground? you know, what is the point of that? >> no. it looks like, yeah, we have done this before. we did it in the 1990s. it looks like the tremendous supporting assets that they v offensive cyber to start disrupting the cartel networks, tools that can begin going after their money, disrupting logistics, targeting leadership, intelligence space and other types of packets, assets that law enforcement doesn't have access to. we want to provide that authority. we've got -- we have to start thinking about these cartels more like isis rather than the mafia. and if isis and al qaeda through chemical warfare killed 70 to 80,000 americans, we would be begin thinking about this and attacking it far differently. that's what we're looking to -- that's what we're looking to do. we want to give those

authorities to the president, if only he would take more meaningful action to go after these cartels that are behind the human trafficking, fentanyl and right now effectively control our border and 30% to 40% of mexico by some estimates. we cannot have an ungoverned terrorist state right there on our border and do nothing. and for the mexican government's standpoint, we did this with the colombians as well. swe we sent a message. eventually the colombian government got onboard and we believe the mexican government will too. >> they're working on the investigations when it comes to the citizens and the two killed, the that two that have been returned to u.s. soil. i want to also ask you about something we saw the fellow republican colleagues responding to yesterday which is after house speaker kevin mccarthy gave fox news access to 40,000 hours of footage at the capitol on january 6. fox then portrayed it saying

that they were essentially mostly peaceful chaos, sight seers. is that how you saw what happened that day? >> yeah, look, i wassen on the house floor. it was a riot. anyone that injured a police officer or committed a crime should be prosecuted. i also believe we should have full transparency that day. i believe speaker mccarthy is given those videos to multiple outlets. i think the american people need to see everything that happened, not things that were selectively edited to tell a political narrative by highly politicized committee, kaitlan. look, everybody's going to see what happened. in some places in the capitol, it was an absolute riot. terrible and disgusting. and then why in some places were the police just waving people in and then actually escorting them? we had a breakdown that we need to fully understand. i have no issue with everybody seeing the videos on that

terrible day. >> are you calling on speaker mccarthy to give it to everyone? so far he has not provided it to multiple media outlets. >> i think it should be released across the board. >> i want to ask you about something former president trump said as well. he called on the january 6 defendants to be released. he said they were convicted or awaiting trial. saying they were done so on based on giant lie. what is your response to what president trump is calling on to happen? >> as i just said, p emeople wh committed a crime should be prosecuted. we have due process. when some have been held for months or years now without going through some type of due process, that is incredibly concerning. further, i have two 72-year-old twins that came by my office and prayed. they were never near the capitol that day and they've been hounded and harassed by the fbi. they have this cloud hanging

over them. the reputations have been damaged. we have case after case like that. and that is not due process or justice either. look if, you commit a crime and hurt a law enforcement officer, if you participated in a yriot,u should be prosecuted. we have an amendment and they should have due process. >> trump was saying -- >> yet with, he have people sitting in jail pretrial detention for over a year. why is that? i think that's what a lot of people are calling for. they're asking those questions. those are fair questions to ask. >> trump's argument is people that have been convicted from crimes that day. we'll be watching your theerg day. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> all right. thank you. appreciate it. more on our top story this morning. two americans killed in mexico after being kidnapped at gun point. two others survived. the family of one of the survivors will join us live next. eld got cracked,

two americans returning to the u.s. from mexico after their group was kidnapped last friday. they trade there so that a woman would undergo a medical procedure. the two others kidnapped were sadly killed. i want to bring in now barbara mcleod. she is latavia mcgee's mother. and we also have latavia's children. they are joining us for their first live interview. i'm happy that you are here to bring light to this. i'm sorry about what happened. barbara, good morning to you and everyone. you have spoken to latavia? how is she doing? >> good morning. she is doing okay. i talked to her last night.

>> what did you talk about? >> i thought she was done. she was telling me how they had her in that little place and it was with her brother in it there. and they were all in there together and moving her from place to place. >> did she understand? did they understand what was happening to them at the time? >> no. because she said when they were going through and a van -- they were driving through. a van came up and hit them. that's when they started shooting at the car. shooting inside the van or whatever. and i guess she thought the others tried to run and they got shot at the same time. they all got shot at the same time. and she watched them -- she watched them die. >> and you helped to raise her,

right? can you tell us about this? >> yes. yes. >> i had -- his mother passed away when he was like 15. i had him ever since then. and latavia, he was in the house. so she text message her brother, her cousin. it is my nephew and my son. and he was -- she was a little person. and, you know, i miss him. i love him. and nothing i wouldn't do for him. >> did you -- were you watching? did you see the video of -- up on the news? >> yes. >> what was going through your head when you saw it? >> a lot. bad stuff. bad stuff. i saw my daughter in that van. >> go on, barbara, you were

saying what? >> i said especially when i saw them throw my daughter on that truck. just grab her and throw her up on, like, trash. they threw them on the trucks. i didn't like it. i wanted to get to her. >> amani, you saw it. you must have been worried about your mom. what were you thinking? >> i was just thinking, like, why did they get kidnapped and stuff like that. >> yeah. >> do you guys -- do either of you know about what happened and -- they believe at this point that it's a case of mistaken identity. have they told you anything beyond that? have you spoken to authorities at all, barbara? >> about the kidnapping? >> yes, ma'am. >> i talked to someone that was

asking me questions about when it first -- i guess after day two after it happened and asking me something. i told him -- he was asking me questions about latavia that she was in danger. >> what do you hope comes out of this? i know i can't bring -- no one can bring your loved ones back. but what do you hope happens from here, barbara? >> i hope that they get all of them and put them all in jail. the ones that did it. put all of them -- everyone that had something to do with it, i want them locked up. >> amani, have you had a chance to speak to your mom? >> yes. >> what did you talk about? >> all i did was say, hey, and told her that i miss her. of i was ready for her to come home. >> yeah. >> listen, i don't -- i can't
