7:00 am
like #6 the boss. meatballs with marinara and pepperoni. i get asked so many times - who's the boss? if you get the boss you are the boss. try subway's tastiest menu upgrade yet. everything's changing so quickly. before the xfinity 10g network, we didn't have internet that let us play all at once. every device? in every room? why are you up here? when i was your age, we couldn't stream a movie when the power went out. you're only a year older than me.
7:01 am
you have no idea how good you've got it. huh? what a time to be alive. introducing the next generation 10g network. only from xfinity. the future starts now.
7:02 am
very good friday morning to you. i'm jim sciutto. >> i'm erica hill. former president trump has been invited to testify before a grand jury all in relation to the hush money payments to porn star stormy daniels, and we will look into whether this invitation means that criminal charges are on the horizon. and republicans are descending on iowa, and it is of course a must stop on the possible road to the white house. former governor ron desantis is set to speak with the iowa governor in a few minutes. cnn is there on the trail. in major economic news this morning, it is good. employers added 311,000 new jobs, and it beat analysts expectations by a long shot. what does it mean? marty walsh is going to join us to talk about it. and we begin with the manhattan's attorney general
7:03 am
inviting donald trump to talk to the grand jury. and so that means there could be a criminal charges likely, and so what do we hear here? >> for about five years now, they have been looking into whether the former president may have falsified records for his former attorney to falsify records to pay stormy daniels. and we saw michael cohen enter the courthouse and spoke, and this is what he had to say. >> i have to give attorney bragg information to give donald trump to come in to have the opportunity to tell the truth. so it is one thing to not tell the truth, but it is another to lie under oath, so i don't
7:04 am
expect he is going to be coming. >> and so it does not look like there is going to be an appearance, but there is a novel theory that he is going to be prosecution, and there is michael corhen who is a convictd liar who has been convicted and goes before cameras to talk ill will with former president. >> but he knew how he operated in effect. >> yes, but he does have some value, but he is pretty easy to impeach as a witness. >> paula reid, thank you. and michael moore partner of moore hall in atlanta, and good to see you this morning. and picking up where paula left off, and she said it could be
7:05 am
difficult for prosecutors, but you think it may be downright risky to go after the charge here, and why? >> well, i am glad to be with you both, and it is striking me that you don't try to put out a forest fire with a pistol, and that is what we are talking about here, a document crime, and in the basic form is a misdemeanor, and when you try the twist it and add some things to it to buff it up to the felony, you may need to re-evaluate the charges, and my concern is that you have three investigation goes on, new york, georgia and the special council investigation, and these folks need to get into a room and put the egos aside and stop thinking of who is going to make a career, and decide what is the strongest case, because if you move forward a weak case, you are giving the chance of the appellant courts to make a bad law for the remaining prosecutors think about, and bad law on what conduct can be charged to a former president,
7:06 am
and during the time that he was acting as president. so these are the decisions that need to be made as a group, and send them to camp david and work it out or whatever they need to do, but they need to work it through, and don't move through with something that is a misdemeanor in a situation like this. >> and quickly, what are the chances, and a, do you think that there have been conversations, and what are the chances that they sit down together and say, hash this out. >> well, i would hope that they would do it for the good of the country and the good of the cases, and really whether or not it has happened, i don't know. i don't have any inside information, but they should do it, and it would help each case if they want to move forward. >> so turning to georgia, a pair of bills running through the republican-led lenl slay chur, and they would make it easier to remove the prosecutors and attorneys for willful misconduct to perform their duties.
7:07 am
and this is for the governor to be soft on crime, and if there is evidence of the prosecutors and the district attorneys to ignore crime in georgia, is this an additional layer of oversight that is needed? >> no, this is a p.r. move. p.r. means power of racism. that is what this is about. people wants to talk about and the governor wants to talk about crime and that, give us the resources, and give the law enforcement the resources and 3wi8d more jails or whatever it needs to be, but don't come in and set aside the will of the voter. and looking at what the ga fa has -- georgia, and this is why it is the will of the racism, and when people lined up to vote, they decided to pass a bill that said you could not give them water or when the ballots came in that absentee were moving to the democratic side, and ges
7:08 am
what the republican legislature did? they came in to decide there needed to be an oversight board, and nonsense. so now you have a prosecutor who happens to been an african-american lady, but you have a prosecutor to look into the leader of one of the chambers who sponsored this bill, and he did not author, but it is out of his chamber, and you are looking at this whether or not they investigated or defrauded the election, and they want to pass a oversight, and ask yourselves, have they ever passed a bill to recall or have oversight of whether the members of the oversight have done their job, and that is going to tell you what you need to know. >> michael moore, always good to talk to you. >> glad to be with both of you. thank you. and right now, governor ron desantis is about to take the
7:09 am
stand at an event in iowa. and former president trump and nickki haley is also going to b making a stop in iowament and so this is when it starts to happen, right? the political center of the universe, and what are the folks on the ground saying? >> well, erica, a room of people behind me who are excited to hear from governor desantis, a right now, they are hearing from governor kim reynolds who will be following desantis from davenport to des moines, and two dynamics at play. there are those who are eager to find someone other than trump who can represent the party to go up against joe biden. i talked to one woman who says she can morally and ethically support, and there are some
7:10 am
trump supporters who say that they want to go for desantis, but they are worried that he is bought and paid for. so desantis has to make the people open minded to come to him, and turn the minds of trump supporters, but trump is going to be fighting for these people as well, and he is coming to davenport a few days after desantis, and nikki haley as well, and so everyone is starting to descend here on florida, and this is the governor's first time in the state, and this is his introduction of the voters. techn technically, he has a book here "the courage to be free" and handing out copies to people coming, and the subtext is that he is interested in running for president, and he laying groundwork for the run, and this is the first big step towards that move, erica. >> steve contorno, thank you.

7:15 am
right now dozens of communities in california are under a state of emergency as a powerful storm is dumping heavy rain and snowfall. it is impacting millions of residences and tens of thousands are already without power, and
7:16 am
the dangerous conditions, too, they are not moving through or out, and they are expected to stick around for days. cnn's natasha chen is live for us in sacramento county, california, right now. so, this is a lot to prepare for on top of what the folks have been dealing with. >> yeah, erica, a lot of people are describing this deja vu, and storm after storm, and despite appreciative of being rain after severe drought in previous years. where i am standing, this is the nimbus dam, and it is releasing thousands and thousands of cubic feet of water and it is flowing into the america river from lake natoma where they are doing a managed release to help the creeks and levees not to be overwhelmed by the rain incoming. now n this particular spot, the rain was very heavy, and the
7:17 am
winds were gusting overnight, and it is now moving more east of us into the foothills of the mountains that have already had unusual snow pack from the previous storms that you mentioned, and one of the problems is structural collapse, because when you have heavy snow on top of the buildings, it is mixing now with the rain, and getting the slush and melting and possibly causing roofs to cave in. we had one example of that last weekend, and private school in nevada city actually posting and it yesterday. their school gym actually caved in from the weight of the snow mixing with the rain. we saw a local affiliate report that it happened to a structure in grass valley last night. so, this is something that we are continuing to watch as we watch these rivers and the dams go to work, and hopefully if it is working as the officials have planned, it could ease the flooding concerns.
7:18 am
now, there are still flooding concerns in many communities that have gotten a lot of this already in the past couple of months, and we will be watching them and making sure that everyone is safe in those areas as well, erica. >> natasha, and appreciate it and thank you for the update. new this morning, a better than expected jobs report is showing that the u.s. economy added 311,000 jobs last month, and that good news complicates the federal reserve's fight to bring down inflation. and moments ago, the treasury secretary said that this report is showing that more people are joining labor force. >> at this point, the labor force participation rates for both adult men and women have exceeded the pre-pandemic highs, and so when more people come into the labor force that loosens conditions ever so
7:19 am
slislig -- slightly and helps to balance the supply and demand in the labor market while creating lots of jobs. >> joining us now is the labor secretary marty walsh. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you, jim. >> so, here we are months into the aggressive fight by the fed to bring down inflation, and raising interest rates and folks are feeling that, and credit cards and mortgages and business loans, and et cetera, and yet the market is stronger than forecasts have been predicting last few months, and you are of course following this closely in the job, and how is that happening? >> well, i think they, you know, the businesses are adjusting in the reality of the post pandemic, and lot of the stresses that we are seeing, and again, i'm not an economist, but a lot of the stresses were caused by the pandemic, and the administration is working to bring inflationary pressures
7:20 am
down. businesses are growing, and we have worker shortages that the companies are looking for more wo workers and the impacts of the economy is not impacting the businesses like we thought that it would and we will continue to move forward here. secretary yellen talking about at the participation rate of the labor rate is highest since the pandemic, and kit can go higher i don't know if the secretary said this in the hearing, but in president's budget, he is tackling child care and home care, and if we can tackle these issues is, we will see more people coming into the workforce. >> and of course, there is more concern of the fed being aggressive here, and they are afterall raising cost of money, and it is going to bite, and elizabeth warren was asking about the 2 million people losing their job because of the interest hike, and has your department gained out what these interest rate hikes will have on
7:21 am
the market? >> not necessarily. i know that the white house for sure and the economists will be talking about what that is going to be, but we are not seeing the signs of this, and the last three month, and quite honestly, the last year, we have seen the good job gains, and last month and this month in particular are the job gains way over the project project projections, and we are seeing the people going into the hospitality industries and hotels, and areas that were decimated in the pandemic, and i know that, again, i am not answering question directly, but there is a lot of fear of recession, and lots of talk of recession, but the signs are not pointing to that and as much as the fed does their job to bring inflationary pressures down, we have to continue to do it on our side as well. >> i know that you don't want to comment on the fed, but to be frank here, they got the inflation wrong. they said it would not be lasting, but it is.
7:22 am
they were slow to raise the interest rates and kept them low for a while, and may have contributed to the stock market bubble, but what confidence that the fed is going to be getting this right, and not tip this economy into a recession and cause people to lose their jobs? >> well, the federal reserve has a job to do, and they will do that job. and i have a job to do here as secretary of labor, and my job quite honestly is not putting people to work, but making sure that the people in this country have opportunities into good paying jobs which is the task that the president gave me, and so i will be focused on my job and the job here at the department of labor, but thank you for the question. >> i should note that today is your last day on the job, because you have a new job yourself to be the head of the nhl players union. >> yes. >> i do want to ask you about your plan there, but before i do, what do you believe that your successor's prior tis need
7:23 am
to be? >> it is all about, and it is a lot of different things, but the workforce development and training and apprenticeship moving forward, and the president passed starting two years ago the american rescue plan and the historic plan after that, and so many opportunities in our country to create a pathway to the middle-class, and we have to make sure that everyone has that pathway, and when we talked about the unemployment rate of 3.6%, and in the black community 5.7%, and in the latino community, 4.7%, we have ways to go in the underserved communities and with our veterans, and in rural america and people with disabilities, and training and workforce development is the key thing. and we passed this great legislation, and now the next two years is the implementation, and the factors here at the department of labor are going to be a big part of that. >> the big change at the nhl, and you won't be able to rout for the bruins, who you are
7:24 am
routing for, but tell us about your plans with the nhl and the players. >> i will go in and do an assessment there. and the president there has been there for 14 years, and in the past, some leadership that might have raised some concern for the players, and i will see what has been doing in the past and what has not been effective and how to move forward. i take this role as collaborate role. my role is to represent the players and the collective bargaining, and i have a collaborate role to let the teams know that this is about working together, but my first and foremost objective is go in there to look at the strengths and weaknesses of the organization. >> secretary marty walsh, thank you so much for being a friend of the show, and wish you good luck hanging out with the hockey players. >> thank you, my friend. still to come, more trouble for norfolk southern as another

well, another norfolk southern rail wrecked when about
7:30 am
30 cars went off of the tracks in alabama, and that is a mess, but thankfully, no hazardous leaks. >> this is when alan shaw was testifying in a senate hearing answering questions about the toxic derailment in east palestine in ohio last month. and brian is there, and what are you seeing? >> yes, we are looking at the crews cleaning up, and you can see that the crash happened around 6:45 a.m., and to give you an idea of how close we are, as you look down there, you can see the parts of the train off of the track. and the crews are getting ready to move in and move the machinery into place so they can start to move the mess in, and when you are looking in from above, you can see how bad this derailment is from above, and
7:31 am
the no hazardous materials on board, and nothing spilling, and so no environmental cleanup effort, and no small concerns about at the cleanup as there was derailment after derailment and we are 70 miles from birmingham, but nothing can pass from the train track as it is. we had to work our way back here, and this is a one-lane road to get to the access to even show you what is going on right now. the crews have heavy machinery to bring in for the next few hours to start cleaning up this mess, because obviously, this is a lot of commerce being stopped right now, because of the derailment. so many questions right now, especially towards the ntsb, how did this happen? what caused this derailment, and especially in the area where there is not a lot of traffic, and that is something to investigate, and find out, and about 30 cars that we counted so far behind that area that had been toppled over, and so it will take some time to clean up.
7:32 am
>> yes, it will, and those pictures are something, ryan. appreciate it. thank you. sources are telling cnn, that russia is going to be seizing weapons in ukraine, and the tank system that we are showing you, and then seizing them and send them to iran. >> and iran reengineers them and tries to make them for sale. and now, natasha is at the pentagon, and your reporting is showing that this is going on for a year. do we know how many weapons, the rangef o of weapons that have b sent and how the u.s. is responding? >> jim, this is difficult for the u.s. to track with any authority, because it is difficult to track the weapons left on battlefield that russia is seizing, and then it is difficult for the u.s. to track how many of the weapons russia is sending to iran, but what we are told as has happened several time. the u.s. has been tracking multiple instances of this where the russians have captured
7:33 am
javelins and stinger missiles, and the nato equivalents, because the natos are giving their equivalents of that weaponry to ukraine and then they send it to iran to reverse engineer them, and this is the part of the growing partnership between iran and russia, and something that has really intensified over the last year as iran is helping russia, and now iran is seeking is equipment from russia in return, and they are eager to get this western equipment because they want it as russia is continuing the campaign against ukraine. and now when we asked the official for comments, they referred to us to comments under defense secretary collin paul, and where he is saying that they are not seeing a number of
7:34 am
increased weapon, but they are seeing a number of russians capturing things on the battlefieldment we should note that it is not a widespread or systemic issue, and the ukrainians do tell the pentagon every time they are forced to leave a u.s.-provided system on the battlefield because they are overrun or they have to quickly withdraw, so the pentagon has some idea of how much of the equipment is fall into russian hands, but there is a concern that if it is sent to iran, and they can reengineer this equipment, it is a risk. >> yes, even a small number is a risk. and an american businessman who has been held in iran for eight years is now pleading with president biden to get him home. the 51-year-old man has dual u.s. and iranian citizenship, and he has been behind bars longer than any other american
7:35 am
in detention in that country. and in an unprecedented interview with christiane amanpour, he is speaking out from the prison in teheran. >> the very fact that i have chosen to take this risk and appear on cnn from prison should tell you how dire my situation has become by this point. i have been a hostage for 7 1/2 years now. that's six times the duration of the hostage crisis. i keep getting told that i'm going to be rescued, and deals fall apart where i am abandoned. honestly, the other hostages and i need president biden to finally hear us out, and finally hear our cry for help to bring us home. i suppose desperate times call for desperate measures, and so this is a desperate measure.
7:36 am
>> cnn has reached out -- >> remarkable. >> it is remarkable, and cnn has reached out to teheranian government for comment, and the white house says that iran's unjust imprison and political arrangement is beyond norms. and the statements from the white house and state department meet and speak regularly with the family to speak about this unacceptable detention until he is reunited with his family. and new mamography requi requirements, and doctors are soon going to be required to tell their patients important information ahead.

7:38 am
taken within five days of symptoms, paxlovid reduced the risk of developing severe covid-19 by 86%. paxlovid may strengthen or weaken other medicines. taking it with certain medicines may cause life threatening side effects or affect how paxlovid works. so it's critical to tell your doctor about all medicines you take including herbal supplements, because lab tests or changing the dose of your medicines may be needed. tell your doctor if you have any serious illnesses, allergies, liver or kidney disease, are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, are breastfeeding, or use birth control. paxlovid may affect how your birth control works. don't take paxlovid if you're allergic to nirmatrelvir, ritonavir, or any of its ingredients. serious side effects can include allergic reactions, liver problems, and issues with hiv medicines. other side effects include altered taste, diarrhea, high blood pressure, muscle aches, abdominal pain, nausea, and feeling unwell. with my asthma, i knew it could be riskier. if it's covid, paxlovid. ask your doctor or pharmacist if paxlovid is right for you. to finally lose 80 pounds and keep it off with golo

7:41 am
the fda is making a critical update to the mammography requirements. soon, mamography centers will have to notify the patients about the density of the breasts. >> this is important because the women with dense breast tissue are four to five times more likely to develop breast cancer and women over 40 have dense tissue, and our reporter jacqueline howard is joining us to tell us what is behind the fda's change of guidance? >> they are going to do this to
7:42 am
improve the way we detect and prevent breast cancer. so having dense breasts can make a mammogram difficult to read. so having a conversation with their doctor can help to gauge the risk for breast cancer, and what the screening process should look like for them. we know that the fda is going to require the mamography centers to have that density scale, and what we are talking about the tissue of the fib ro granular tissue in the breasts, and that is going to be beneficial for the women going forward. >> but i have to say that for a woman who has dense test, and the fact that this has to be put into place, shouldn't this
7:43 am
already be happening, since vi already had to have two mammographies a year. >> yes, the fact that it has to be required and it does raise eyebrows and why aren't we having these discussions before. and this new requirement is going to be implemented in the next 18 months. so it is going to be a requirement for the women to receive breast density information in the breast reports, but er ica, as you hav said, we have known about this denseness being an association to higher risks for cancer, and so now we are seeing the requirement behind it. >> jacqueline howard, thank you so much. and now, the attorney general is calling on the major pharmacy chains to commit to
7:44 am
dispensing abortion medication both at the pharmacy locations and through mail orders. >> why is this happening now? one of the reasons is that future of medication of abortion is unclear as a texas judge is considering banning the drug even though it is remaining legal in a handful of states. and now, a new way to flag potential handgun shooters by tracking credit card companies
7:45 am
and purchases. >> this is a setback for gun retailers, because these codes are tracking where consumers spend their money, but guns were classified general merchandise or sporting goods stores. and so what happens is that two republican attorney generals warned the credit cards not to do this to track gun sales, and they said it would violate the gun owners and could violate anti-protection trusts, and they made it pretty clear they would fight in court. and so now we are learning that the pressure appears to have worked at least for now, and vie sand a mastercard are pausing the plans here. and this is how visa explained it in a statement. quote, there is significant confusion, and legal uncertainty in the payment's ecosystem, and
7:46 am
the state's actions disrupt the intent of global standards. mastercard had a similar explanation of why they are pausing this, and this is another example of how the companies really find themselves increasingly under pressure from elected officials on the hot button issues whether it is climate or abortion as we were talking about with walgreens and the drugstore retailers or gun, and these companies increasingly face a political minefield. >> it is not the last we will hear about it. matt, thank you. >> sure. and the oscars are back this weekend, but the infamous slap at last year's ceremony is top of mind for many, and how will this year's host address that giant elephant in the room? a preview just ahead. all it takes is eight minutes to get starteded. then work wiwith professionals to assist your business with its formsms and submit the application. go to getrefunds.com to learn more.
