hello, everyone. i'm bianna goal deldry kbgoldry. >> after the officer-involveved deadly beating of tyre nichols, they'll now investigate the entire police department. and they just revealed the findings of the federal investigation into that city's police department. it goes bond just deeply troubling. they found conduct that violates the constitution and civil rights act. >> the report comes just days before the three-year of the death of brianna taylor, a black woman who was shot and killed during a no-knock raid in her apartment building. it was a symptom of the problems that have been ferrising within the louisville police department for years. >> lmpd has relied heavily on pretextural traffic stops in

black neighborhoods, assaulted people with disabilities and called black people, monkeys, animal, and boy. this conduct is unacceptable. it is heartbreaking. it erodes the community trust necessary for effective policing and it is an affront to the vast majority of officers who put their lives on the line every day to serve louisville with honor. >> cnn's senior justice correspondent, evan perez, joins us. just a horrific and damning report. we also heard that garland was talking about problems within the department, that he laid out. what are the consequences, though, and the solutions here? >> well, the consequences, bianna and victor, is that the justice department is going to be doing an agreement or signing an agreement with the louisville city government there and it's going to be -- it's going to be enforced by a court. a judge is going to be essentially helping to oversee

the changes that the louisville police department is promising to make. obviously, some of the changes they say have already begun, for instance, they've abandoned some of these no-knock warrants, they have already begun on some of these remedial measures. they have changed the use of these specialized crime units. they have started using a mental health experts to go on some of these police calls, to try to avoid some of these instances where things escalate into violence. all of this will be overseen by a third party. this is something that police departments often try to avoid, but it could, could make this police department a lot more responsive to the community that it serves. and this report really does paint a very, very ugly picture, something that, you know, frankly, harkens back to 60

years ago in some of the cities in the south during the civil rights era. we got a reaction from tameka palmer, breonna taylor's mother, i'll read you just a part of it. it reads, what was confirmed today that i should still be able to pick up the phone and reach my oldest daughter, breonna. it took us having to fight day in and day out for years simply because i deserve justice for my daughter's murder to kick start this investigation. but today's findings are an indicator that breonna's death is not in vain. certainly, those are words that you have to believe others in the community who have suffered this abuse by this police department at least according to this report, i'm sure, are also saying. bianna and victor? >> evan, stay with us. i know we have to go to memphis. >> where city officials and the police department will soon face their own federal investigation. the department of justice says it will offer guidelines to all major cities that have specialized units. just like the one the officers involved in the tyre nichols death were a part of. the so-called scorpion unit

there has since been disbanded. >> cnn's senior crime and justice correspondent shimon prokupecz is with us now. what more will the doj be investigating in this city's police department? >> they're looking -- it's going to be a review of the use of force policy and the de-escalation policy. something that both have come to be at the center of the tyre nichols case, in terms of how they proceeded to stop him. the efforts that were made after that, to de-escalate. from the body camera footage that we have so far seen, you don't see any efforts there by police to de-escalate. if anything, there's an escalation that there's still really no clear explanation for from city officials, to the police department. so they're going to be looking at that. you know, there has definitely been some information that has come to the federal investigators. the fbi has been involved in the investigation there. that seems to indicate that there is a troubling pattern by the memphis police department. on the heels of all of that, this is something that the community wanted, something that

tyre nichols' family wanted. as a result of all of that, the doj is saying, okay, we're going to come in and look at some of these practices, and review the use of force and de-escalation, but also significant, as you mentioned, they're now looking at these specialized units. and this is something they found very interesting in the release from doj. they said that police chiefs called them and said, you know, we want help. we want to know what we should be doing with these units. and so doj is now going to step in and try to review some of their actions and -- >> and not just the unit in memphis, but all across the country. >> we also got more news out of memphis. we were waiting for video to be released surrounding the death of tyre nichols. that's not happening right now. why? >> the attorney for one of the now former officers went into court today and at the last minute filed a motion, an order asking the judge to prevent the city from releasing what was to be some 20 yours, 40 different clips of video in the aftermath.

some of the before, some of the interaction between officers and audio commutes talking and other information that they were set to release today and even tom tomorrow, like administrative information about the hearing and other documents we were expecting today. now all of a sudden, the defense attorney for one of the officers went into court and the judge agreed with him. we don't know why. we weren't there. we only found out about this at the last minute when pretty much the hearing was over. we're trying to figure out why this judge decided to rule in mr. ballen favor. we'll see. we'll continue to obviously continue to fight to get that. but i think the city made every effort. they were hoping to get this out today and now this is not happening today. obviously, that fight is going to continue. >> last-minute development. you'll continue to follow it for us. shimon, stay with us. cnn's evan perez is back us. and you were lieutenant of the nypd internal affairs bureau. so cases like breonna taylor's

tyre nichols would fall under your jurisdiction. what is the reaction to the report that we heard from the doj, regarding the louisville police department and also news that they are now launching an investigation into the memphis police department, as well. >> well, thanks for having me. i don't think this was a surprise to anyone. we clearly knew that were atrocities that existed in both of these police departments. so when we have the federal government step in and conduct an assessment as to what's happening and then amplify that information to us as a nation, now it gives us cause to move forward with the next step. what we're speaking to that's going to happen now is something we refer to as a consent decree. oftentimes you hear the police department that falls under the purview of these consent decree. case in point, the nypd fell under a consent decree after the stop and frisk lawsuit. we see it happen in a lot of the larger police departments such as chicago after the death of

laquan mcdonald. what the federal government does with these consent decrees is they make a series of recommendations. however, there's not a lot of teeth attached to this. when i say not a lot of teeth attached to it, meaning the recommendation such as training and additional resources will be introduced. but ultimately, the onus is upon the municipality to pay for it. and in many instances, the municipality doesn't have the power to pay for it. in me in many instances, these consent decrees don't accomplish anything. >> after listening to the attorney general today, something stuck with me. darren just mentioned laquan mcdonald and eric garner. there was an investigation by the doj after the baltimore police department after the death of freddie gray. there was an investigation in ferguson after mike brown. now louisville after breonna taylor, still waiting for minneapolis and mow there's

memphis, as well. what initiates these investigations. do unarmed black people have to die first and then they investigate these police departments? are can these happen without the tragic loss first? >> look, victor, the fact that you said those words really does, i think, call into question, you know, the way the justice department and everyone that has handled these things. i think, honestly, they should be initiated without something tragic happening. but unfortunately, that's what gets people's attentions. if you look at this report, you can see over the period of years, going back to 2014, 2015, that the louisville police department knows that it has a problem. it commissions reports that find that african-americans are getting the brunt of brutal and abuse of treatment and what they do repeatedly is bury these reports, they don't do anything about it.

so what the justice department is trying to do over the last few years is to try to do these types of investigations. they've come under a lot of criticism from people on capitol hill, who believe that the federal government is essentially sitting in the backseat of every cop car and is trying to second-guess what police officers do their work. there's a lot of pressure to try to not have these things put the onus on the police departments. but clearly, there needs to be a change around the country. there are a few cities where these consent decrees have worked, in los angeles, for instance. you see that there is some response from the community that they feel the police department is serving them better. but, unfortunately, what you just described and what you just said is exactly the truth. and there's a lot of frustration that this is what it takes for there to be a tragedy. for anything to happen. >> and darren, louisville currently has an interim police chief. what are some of the challenges and sort of first steps that

she's going to have to be facing to implement what we're hearing from this report and its emotions? >> well, there's a cultural socialization within all police departments. so when we have a new police chief that's introduced at the head of the organization, the goal is to fracture that cultural socialization, within the police department, and rebuild it with policies that are sound and better assist or serve that community. another challenge that we have in policing is, there's no national standard in policing. we have certain laws that invoke the precedent in terms of the use of force. but a lot of the substantiative issues that exist in these police departments are different from one department to the next. and a lot of that is attributed to laws or more or less the budget that manages that police department. so we now have a chief that's going to come in, and i think the best that that police chief

can do is predicated on the elected official. if the mayor gives the police chief the green light to do certain things, the police chief can do it. but if you have the elected official that's somewhat hesitant, that's when we have greater constraints. and that is a national problem in all police departments. >> on this tyre nichols video, you were much closer to the video than i. was there an attempt by the attorneys to block the initial tranche of videos? >> no. and some were not brought into the case yet. there wasn't. they were, actually, when i think about it now, because they got released yet. no, there wasn't. that's a good point. they never made an effort to block the release of that video. because they were already representing these guys. that's a very good point, victor, actually. we don't know why all of a sudden. i'm not sure -- look, i've seen some of this video that was supposed to come out today. we've been out there working this story. i'm not necessarily certain that this hurts these officers,

certainly not by any means, is it any worse than what we've already been seeing. >> that's what i'm thinking. is this worse than their clients? >> i am puzzled by this. >> there was only one attorney that did this. i've asked him for an explanation, so far i don't have it. so i don't know. this is really puzzling, because it's also the city's property. there's a duty to inform the public. and this case is, you know, a high-interest case. and it took so long now to get this video, because they've been saying they were going to release it for weeks, but they were waiting until they were finished with these administrative hearings. it's done. i don't know. it's very puzzling, and you know, i think you just made a really good point. >> i would imagine there's not much surprise in hearing that the doj has now launched an investigation into the memphis police department. >> no, and i think we're going to see similar to what we see in louisville, will be happening in memphis. in talking to people in that community, these pretextural car stops, the way the police have treated some of them. and i know that there are

officers inside the police department were cooperating with the doj investigation, who didn't want to come forward with information initially, but have since this happened to tyre nichols, have come forward with information that perhaps is going to be very troubling for the memphis police department. >> get to the point of culture within that department, especially. evan perez, shimon prokupecz, and darren porter, thank you all. new cnn reporting on the house gop plan to revisit the insurrection. sources say republicans are plotting multiple investigations, looking into things like security failures, the select committee's actions, and potentially, the treatment of january 6th defendants. >> and this comes as we get new evidence from a lawsuit against fox, showing the realtime doubts among executives and hosts about election conspiracies that led to the capitol attack. we'll discuss it all, up next. we tried dove instead. so, still need that trim? oh my gosh! i am actually shocked i don't need a haircut. don't trim daily damage. stop it with dove.e. if your business kept on employees

prominent figures show concerns and misgivings some had about donald trump's claims of election fraud and the company's handling of the 2020 election results. according to court documents, host tucker carlson texted a producer on january 4th, 2021. we are very, very close to being able to ignore trump most nights. the conversation continues, referring to trump, carlson says, i hate him passionately. i can't handle much more of this. the private communications from carlson are a sharp contrast to his public support from the former president, as seen on his program that night. >> fthe president, as you may have heard, believes the election is 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 you can make up your own mind. >> the text messages are part of a trove of documents and ions released tuesday from dominion voting system's

$1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the right-wing network. fox responding to the latest document release in part saying, dominion has been caught red-handed using more distortions and misinformation in their 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's chairman rupert murdoch was furious fox news called the 2020 election for biden, and wrote in an email to the former "new york post" editor in chief, cnn declares and fox coming in minutes. i hate our decision desk people and pollsters. some of the same people, i think. more than a month after 2020 election, fox news's d.c. managing editor wrote in a private message to a colleague, he feared that the network's coverage of the network's trump

election fraud claims were becoming an existential crisis for the company. murdoch concluded to suzanne scott in january of 2021 that some of fox's top talent went too far in their coverage. during his deposition, murdoch as asked, do you believe that dominion was involved in a massive and coordinated effort to steal the 2021 election? murdoch replied, no. >> dominion has made an effort to show that rupert murdoch was hands on. that is, that he was aware of what people were saying on his air. that he had the ability to stop these guests from appearing and repeating these things. >> both sides of this case have asked a judge to resolve it in their favor. there's also a small chance this could potentially settle, but nub of those things happen, this case is going to trial next month, in delaware, and it will absolutely be one to watch. victor and erica. >> all right.

paula reid, thanks so much. joining us now to discuss is sarah fisher, a cnn media analyst and media reporter at axios, and former republican congressman, adam kinzinger, also a cnn political commentator. sarah, let me start with you. the people who need to know about this hypocrisy, tucker's viewers, won't see it. whe won't hear it, because they have a indict that only encompasses the fox universe. >> yes, but although in this particular case, i think there's a chance that they might. this case has become such a national headline across so many forms of media. i open up my phone, see people talking about it on tiktok, people are talking about it on instagram. i think they're understanding that fox is getting sued for saying something wrong. the challenge is, do they choose to care? do they choose to believe that fox did something wrong? even if fox loses the suit? that's the real question, victor. to your point, fox news' viewers tip, they're choosing that's the network that they will believe in and go with, even if they end

up losing. >> congressman, do you agree? former speaker paul ryan who sits on the board was asked about this and his at least public silence in regards to what fox news was promotes on a daily basis. his justification was, i told the people who needed to know, but fox is an integral part of this country and of one of the two major parties in this country to move forward. so do you think this will have an impact, not only on fox viewers, but perhaps what its hosts say on-air? >> i think it will have an impact in the future. i think, you know, the younger people today that maybe in ten years will be deciding where they want to get their news from, this may steer them away. so you might see like a clock being put on the future availability of fox news if it doesn't change. but, yes, i agree that people may know this is going on. you know, pretty much strictly fox viewers may know, but they're going to be hit on a daily basis, maybe not with refuting these text messages, but with things like, everything is a conspiracy, you know,

january 6th was a conspiracy, it never actually happened. and so when that happens, you are inoculated against anything that makes fox news look bad, because you've come to believe that everything is a conspiracy and evt all, because he's doubling down on complete and utter lies, dangerous lies. so we'll see what it does for the network. >> congressman, let me stay with you and what we're learning now, our manu raju reporting that there will be several avenues of investigation into january 6th, including into the work of the committee. your reaction to that reporting? >> it's funny, because republicans will always say things like, let's just move past january 6th. so, watch, they say, let's move past january 6th when the facts are coming out and they don't want to talk about them anymore. when they get to control some version of a narrative to really just kind of fox news, newsmax viewers, that's what they're excited about.

look, if they do a truthful investigation, a big question, you know, you're going to see exactly what we showed, which was, this was a donald trump-inspired insurrection. i have no idea where they're going to go from here, unless it's complete and utter lies. i'm sure speaker mccarthy is pretty nervous about this. because he knows exactly what happened. >> and they also ran on this, right? before the midterms, that they would launch this investigation. it looks like it is going forward. sarah, in terms of the bigger picture, legally, at least, for fox, what do you think the consequences could be here? i asked you off-camera if you thought they would settle. so what happens now? >> they'll go to trial in april. i think it's very likely if you talk to legal experts that they lose the case. they could be looking at $1.6 billion in damages. it could be even more. but what it means from a 30,000 foot view is that this is a precedent for the first amendment in cable news. moving forward, you would expect

fox to be a lot manufacture careful about the things that they allege and about what they communicate internally to each other, now that they've seen that they can be deposed. and hopefully that means they take a more rational approach to this type of coverage. but it all comes down to what this trial goes to in april. and they have dominion, many lawsuits. not just against fox, but against others. this is the first one that's going to trial. so if fox loses this one, could be momentum for dominion to pursue others. >> it's interesting. you say that they ran on this. and they did. they said they would investigate the committee. they threatened to call people back, to subpoena members. and congressman, i wonder, if you see a link between these two stories we're talking about, fox's handling of january 6th, and mccarthy given the video to tucker, and he sets his narrative. and then a couple of days later, the announcement of, we're going to investigate, do you see some link in the timing here, or am i

just reaching? >> well, i mean, i don't know, but it seems -- i mean, they've been in power for 60-some days. and literally, just now it's -- like, i think there is definitely something here. you know, the interesting thing is, kevin mccarthy gave this to tucker carlson. he didn't give it to fox news, writ large. he gave it to the biggest conspiracy theory for january 6th, tucker. and i think if you look at why, he either made a promise, there's some grand plan and he knows tucker probably has way more power than he does, quite honestly. and he's also now his buddy on speed dial. there's going to be something here. it's not a narrative he can win, writ large, you can't win this with the country, but he can try to win it with the 30% of the republican base. and that's what, frankly, unfortunately, the republicans' target has been for that's the last five or six years, just speaking to the base, not the broader american people. >> and congressman, even if you have leaders of your own party saying, you know, what they call it, obamabs, i'm not going to se

word, but they have been very clear for the most part, mcconnell as well about what happened on that day. they were there. and they are condemning the interpretation and the cherry picking here and the whitewashing that they're seeing on fox news with tucker carlson airing these bits and pieces. >> well, yeah, there have been a lot of people speaking out. some of them that speak out, they kind of hedge a little, don't say names. that's fine, at least, we'll take something. but there's a lot of people that aren't. and this is a point that as a party, as a member of the house, as a member of the senate, you swear an oath not to your district. i'm sorry, you don't swear an oath to your district. you swear an oath to the constitution, and that means telling the truth wherever it costs you everything. remember that wherever you're swearing an oath, it's not to the people you represent, it's to the constitution. >> sarah fisher, cnn media analyst and adam kinzinger, cnn senior political commentator,

the faa's acting chief says the agency is committed to raising the bar on safety across the u.s. and around the world. billy nolan faced lawmakers this morning on capitol hill after an alarming string of recent incidents involving commercial airliners. just this year, we've seen six

reported close calls on airport runways. >> and it's not just on the tarmac. this week, as you'll recall, a man was arrested for allegedly right to stab a flight attendant in the cabin. cnn's pete muntean is live in washington. so, pete, what stood out to you from today's, at time, difficult hearing? >> both of those things came up today. that unruly passenger incident just the other day, the chief of the faa, acting administer, billy nolan, says the faa still has a zero-tolerance policy against these unruly passenger incidents. the number of those have actually gone down in recent years. it was really more of a 2021 issue. the number went down by half in 2022. we have not seen many this year, although there have been two high-profile ones so far this year. the numbers that are going up are the close calls near runways of major u.s. airports involving commercial airliners. they are known, officially, as runway incursions. and like you mentioned, there

have been six since the start of this year, which is a very high number, considering the severity of these incidents. they are happening nationwide. boston, jfk, sarasota, austin, honolulu, burbank. we are finding out about new ones. we just found out about that one in sarasota, just on monday. so the head of the faa, billy nolan said, this is a huge problem for the faa, and it's trying to dig in on this. there's a safety summit next week, but he insists the flying system, right now, is safe. listen. >> the faa absolutely has a grasp on the situation. and it's something that we look at every day. throughout the course of every day, i get reports all day long about what's happening, the level of completion. and i can tell you that the system is strong, safe, and resilient. >> ranking member on this house -- the senate committee, excuse me, ted cruz, says he called these incidents troubling. so this was coming up continually for these lawmakers

on capitol hill today. billy nolan, the chief of the faa right now, says that this is still a huge issue, and if there are dots to connect, the faa will connect them at that safety summit next week, when it brings together airlines and federal stakeholders to try to figure out exactly what the common thread is here wall of these incidents. victor, bianna? >> pete muntean for us, thank you, pete. >> as a special gop-led house panel holds its first meeting on the origins of covid-19, u.s. agencies remain divided on where the virus was actually born. what we're learning, that's next. with downy infusions, let the scent set the mood. feel the difference with downy. ♪ inner voice (kombucha brewer):

the most, i think probably right behind measles virus that we've ever seen infect man. so i immediately said, wait a second, this isn't natural. and you go back and found that they put the h2 receptor into humanized mice so it can affect human tissue, then you learn that the new covid, which came from bats, now can hardly replicate in bats. so how does that happen? i don't think that answer is going to come from the scientific community. i think that answer is going to -- >> dr. megan ranee is an emergency physician in the deputy dean of public health at brown university. dr., always good to see republicans had invited the senior fellow at the atlanta council to testify as well. he said researchers who sought to publish papers like himself in examining a lab origin were,

quote, facing ferociously strong headwinds and a manufactured consensus on the lab leak theory. he described himself as a lifelong democrat and said he'd been paint as a conspiracy theorist when he started to investigate even the possibility that covid originated in a lab. was potential time lost during that period in your view? >> i think a lot of potentially valuable information was lost but not so much because of the suppression of papers, which i can't comment on. as an editor of a journal i never saw a paper come across my desk that talked about a lab or land origin of covid. instead what was lost in those early months in china itself as well as in the early months in the united states. we did not know about the spread of covid within china until long it had already started to decimate the wuhan regionch.

and then as covid migrated across the globe we lost valuable time here in america with lack of testing, lack of data, lack of potential policies to identify who was sick and try to keep the virus out of large spread. that's where our time was deeply lost. >> to that point the chairman of the subcommittee congressman brad wester said this. he said this information must begin where and how this virus came about so we can prepare, predict and prevent is from happening again. without china's cooperation and china has not been cooperating since day one. they're even denying covid originated in their country. do you think we'll get answers? >> i don't know that we will ever get answers, and this gets to the core of the issue. you ask do the american people deserve an investigation into this horrible virus that changed our lives for the worst for far too long, that killed far too many of our friends and

relatives and that hurt our children, our elderly, and those of us of working age. we do deserve an investigation, but what we deserve even more is better preparedness so that we never get caught in that same situation again. we should be strengthening international cooperation to monitor for new infectious disease outbreaks. we should be strengthening international cooperation around how to handle labs, not just labs that do research but also labs that get specimens. we need to have good security protocols around that, and we should be strengthening international cooperation so we as a society are ready to react if and when there is another pandemic that protects our most vulnerable, that scales up test [treatments more quickly. watching what's going on with the h1n1 bird flu, i'm deeply

worried because we're setup to make all those same mistakes again. >> on this lab leak theory do you think that that investigation in particular was stymied by politics? >> i think every part of our covid response was stymied with politics whether it was the lab leak investigation, availability of personal protective equipment, development and dissemination of tests or uptake of vaccines. it is difficult at this point to look at a single part of our covid response that was not marred by early politicization. >> do you support a republican bill that has been supported by jim himes, congressman who's a top democrat on the house intel committee, that would require the biden administration to declassify any information about potential links between covid and the wuhan virology lab? >> so i am not a security expert.

based on my knowledge of colleagues who work in the national security sphere, my concern about that bill would be we do not want to release privileged information that helps us better at identifying and preventing future pandemics. >> all right, dr. megan ranny, thank you so much. well, the daughter of a lot australian conservation and crocodile hunter steve irwin is sharing a very personal story about her battle with endometriosis. she's speaking about her ten-year struggle with the condition to raise awareness as the world marked international womens day. this is also endometriosis awareness month. she posted on social media how she endured insurmountable fatigue, pain and nausea. the disease impacts 31 million women worldwide. it can include heavy pain, menstrual bleeding and fur silt
