education background. we are working with trying to help an education system. why wouldn't we listen to educators and want community input? our schools need to be poured into and not attacked. our governor is taking the wrong approach, as usual. there is no plan that we know of. our parents, our students are in spring break right now, so they have no idea what's going on let alone the he had ceducators in hisd. >> we appreciate you coming back. thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> thank you. cnn this morning continues right now. the cavaliers are playing with four guards and the four guards out there along with shedrick the best free throw shooters. clark in a straitjacket. >> he threw it away! ooh!

>> so good. >> yikes. >> good morning to furman fans and princeton fans in a good mood today. not so much arizona and virginia there. good morning, everyone. poppy is off. don and i are here. we are tracking major announcement from china confirming xi jinping will visit russia as the war is raging in ukraine. the pentagon's press conference is going to join news moments on that. >> and here at home an investigation underway into the death of a female soldier at fort hood. her family says she complained about sexual harassment but the army says no foul play is expected. exclusive reporting. dozens of mar-a-lago staffers have been subpoenaed in the special counsel's investigation of trump's handling of classified documents. we will tell you why they could be key witnesses. we begin this morning with the high-stakes meeting that could have major implications for the war in ukraine. this morning china has confirmed president xi jinping will go to

russia on monday to meet face to face with president putin. this is his first time in russia since they invaded ukraine over a year ago. >> a very big deal here. this all comes at the critical moment in the war. u.s. officials have been warning that china might send weapons to help russia turn the tide. but beijing is insisting the upcoming meeting is to urge peace. >> translator: china will upa fair position on the crisis and play a constructive role in promoting talks for peace. >> will ripley live in taiwan this morning. they say it's about strategic cooperation. what else do we know. >> reporter: the outcome of this meeting, a lot of analysts believe, could have a very significant effect on where this war goes certainly for ukraine. if there were to be an influx of chinese lethal weapons as the united states suspects china is

seriously considering it would make sense when president xi goes to meet with president putin, that is a discussion that they could very likely have and if china does decide to do that in defiance of warnings from the united states and west it could be very bad for ukraine, even with the influx of weapons that have been flowing from nato and the united states. so while china is saying? all about urging peace and they have an objective and impartial position, if they are so impartial they pout out this 12 point peace plan, they didn't call putin's war an invasion and xi has not even spoken by phone with ukraine's president even though he is now traveling to moscow to petemeet with putin. his first trip overseas since he got this unprecedented third term. we will have to see what is and is not said. >> let's follow up on something

you said, they said this was to urge peace. is there any reason to believe them at this point, will? >> reporter: well, you read this 12-point document that they issued, and a lot of it is pretty boilerplate stuff. not to mention the fact that they are using russian propaganda terminology calling it a special military operation. and they are calling for the kind of concessions that ukraine, frankly, the ukrainian people i spoke with when i spent the month of december there is unwilling to accept. slicing up their country, giving some of the land that russia took in exchange for the intense bottom bottom of civilian infrastructure to stop. there is two distinct realities. the west, the west sees what's happening in ukraine through one lens and then the china and russia propaganda lends that paints it differently. you have two rulers with absolute power and total control

of the message inside their countries. that a dangerous formula, don. >> will ripley in taiwan. joining us to respond is the pentagon brigadier general patrick rider. thank you for being here this morning. china is saying this meeting is about promoting peace and urging talks. does the u.s. believe that's what's happening here? >> yeah, thanks for the question, kaitlin. so again this is something that we're keeping a very close eye on. interestingly, in china's so-called peace plan one of the things that they highlight at the very top is respect for the sovereignty of all countries. we certainly would hope that they mean that. if that means that ukraine supposed to somehow just give up and allow its territory to be subsumed by russian occupiers, that certainly is duplicitous and something that i don't think ukraine nor the rest of the world would take seriously. >> does the u.s. still believe china is considering providing

weapons to russia to use in ukraine? >> yeah, so at this point we have not seen that china has provided any type of lethal assistance to russia for use on the battlefield in ukraine. again, that's something we are keeping a very close eye on. we would hope that china would not do that. we think it would be a big mistake. it would not be in their interest and would squarely put china in the camp of the small number of countries that said that ukraine should be extinguished as a country. and any type of lethal assistance going from china to russia that could be used on the battlefield would needlessly prolong this conflict and needlessly kill innocent ukrainians. and so we hope that they don't do that and we have communicated that publicly and privately. >> how important does the u.s. think it is for chinese president xi to speak with president zelenskyy before he goes to russia? >> well, again, you have heard

the white house and others say that we welcome a discussion between president xi and president zelenskyy. we think that it's important that china has the perspective of ukraine. clearly, russia's motivations are nefarious. they illegally invaded and have occupied ukraine. we hope that president xi and the chinese government would be able to have the benefit of understanding what exactly the impact of their support to russia is having. >> and on the downed drone in the black sea, we are told russia has recovered parts of the debris. what exactly does the u.s. believe that they have gotten so far? >> yeah, thanks, kaitlin. so what we know is that russia has made an effort to try to recover some of the debris likely debris that may have been floating on the surface. we are very confident that if they were able to recover anything, and we can't corroborate those press reports, but if they were able to recover anything, that it would very

likely have very little use. we took precautions to ensure that information on that mq-9 was protected and, therefore, they are really not going to be able to exploit anything useful even if they were able to get it. oh, by the way, that drone landed in extremely deep water. so, again, very unlikely that they are going to get anything useful from it. >> does the u.s. want russia to return any of the debris that they do recover? >> look, you know, it's u.s. property. as you saw, they attacked the drone. they essentially harassed it, knocked it down. we controlled, crashed it into the water. we are looking at options, assessing options in terms of recovery, again because of where it crashed in the deep water, that's something we are still looking at. i think the bigger issue is a recognition of russia 'actions, which were coming up on our

drone, harassing it in international airspace where we were flying in accordance with international law. we have communicated it to them this type of behavior was reckless, dangerous, unsafe and unprofessional and again we call on them to ensure that their forces are operating professionally and safely. >> general, the white house says that poland's decision to send these mig-29 fighter jets to ukraine has not changed the u.s.'s mind on sending f-16 fighter jets. why not? >> yeah, so, you know, it's important to understand, first of all, that ukraine has an air force and know how to operate those type of aircraft. they operate mig fighter jets within their own airports frchlt a training and maintenance standpoint, the ability to absorb these into their force and operate them in the near term is real. what we have been very focused on in the united states and working with our international allies and partners is on getting ukraine the assistance that they need right now, that they can use right now to change the equation on the battlefield.

so you see us giving them things like air defense, armor, bradley fighting vehicles, strikers, the germans, the uk providing leopards. the germans also providing mortars. these are things they would be able to use in joint warfare maneuver to change the way that things are right now along the front lines. >> has the u.s. made any assurances either to poland or slovakia to backfill the fighter jets that they are sending to ukraine? >> so these are sovereign decisions by both of those countries and, again, we are grateful to them and all the other countries that are working together with us to ensure that ukraine has the assistance it needs. just this week, in fact, we had a ukraine defense contact group where all of our nations talk about what it is that we need to do to support ukraine. but also importantly we talk about how we can work together as not only a nato alliance but an international community to

ensure that our own borders are protected. >> okay. i will note you didn't say whether or not the u.s. made those assurances. last question. is it accurate that the pentagon raised concerns with ukrainian forces that they are burning through ammunition very quickly? >> we are in contact with our ukrainian counterparts on a near daily basis talking to them about how we can best support them. ammunition is a very critical requirement, as you know, and so at every single contact group, in all of our discussions we're looking not only at ammunition, but a variety of capabilities and equipment that we can give this them. importantly, also training. we are conducting training. so we are going to continue to work around the clock to ensure that we're getting them the ammunition, the equipment, the training that they need to be successful on the battlefield. and we are confident that they will continue to have what they need to be successful. >> okay. thank you for that information. brigadier general patrick rider from the pentagon this morning.

thank you for joining us. >> thanks very much. perfect person to have on this morning to discuss that. the u.s. army launching an investigation into the death of a female private this morning. the family of 21-year-old combat engineer anna saying that the army told them initially she had committed suicide. the private who searched with the first calvary division for the past 15 months was found dead on monday. her family made allegations of sexual harassment. what can you tell us? >> well, look, this is a very tragic case, don. good morning. the family demanding answers saying they want justice, but the army saying investigators have found no foul play here. look, she was reported dead on monday and the family just giving these very, very emotional interviews to our affiliate univision and to

tele telemundo news saying that her daughter committed suicide, that's what she was told by the army, but her mother is questioning that and adding that her daughter told her that she was sexually harassed at the base. she spoke to her daughter every single day and detailed these allegations. now, the army is saying they will look into possible harassment. they will look and investigate all of the details in this case. most of this information is coming from her mother. our team in mexico went to visit her mother and asked her if her daughter had expressed wanting to leave the army, to leave the base. she said, yes, here is the rest of that answer. and again that mother just saying her daughter wanted to be hugged the way she was hugged when she was young. i mean, this is a devastating

case for this family. that mother is trying to come to the with a special visa. she is devastated and saying that she brought her daughter to the u.s. alive and she is going to bring her back to mexico dead. don. >> thank you very much. appreciate that. we are moving a major development in a cnn exclusive when it comes to the special counsel's investigation of former president trump. sources tell cnn that at least two dozen people who work at mar-a-lago have been subpoenaed in jack smith's investigation about trump's handling of top secret and classified documents that were found stashed away at his florida resort. that includes everybody from restaurant servers to a housekeeper and trump's inner circle. a top communication staffer at a courthouse in washington where she was appearing before the grand jury. paula reid is here tracking all of this. i mean, it's amazing. we are halfway through march, just seeing the speed that jack

myth is moving with this investigation. >> yeah, and who is left? when you get down to the guy who sevts the burgers at mar-a-lago, who else are you going to talk to? we got the answer to that yesterday when we saw a former communications official at the white house head into the grand jury. they want to talk to everybody. his attorneys, his advisors, the groundskeeper at mar-a-lago. why? because this is a very serious and extensive investigation into the possible mishandling of classified documents but also questions about whether there were efforts to obstruct the investigation. for example, a young man they sahin to a security camera helping another advisor, another aide, move boxes. they want to know, who told you to move them? where did they go? they are turning over every stone? >> and who told you to move them. >> big question. when, why, what was in them, where did they go? and these are people in the former president's world argue, like, this is ridiculous. you talking to the guy ho flips burgers? how do we know it's ridiculous.

we never had a former president who lived at a resort. >> exactly. and never, to my knowledge, had this issue when it comes to classified documents. >> you a apparently we did and didn't know about it. >> right on. could we talk about the special counsel? he has been trying to get testimony from the trump attorney from the beginning. is he any closer to making that happen? >> it's possible. this attorney evan corcoran has gone before the grand jury but he declined to answer questions about his conversations with the president. they say there should be an exception, the crime fraud exception. his advice may have been used to perpetrate a crime. and the judge who has been overseeing a lot of these big questions from the special counsel investigation and that grand jury she leaves the bench at 5:00 today s she aging on to a different role in the system. she has to 5:00 today to make this ruling. we will be on our phones up the grills of every trump attorney

to figure out when this comes down. it's not public either. >> i think she is handing this over to another chief judge and this is going to be on his plate now. >> good luck to him. it's interesting because as you know. so people in trump world believe this judge, judge howell, has been too favor to the special counsel and there will be a new sheriff in town but if you read his opinions i am not sure how that's gonna play out. it will be fascinating to watch. >> we will be watching for the alerts to see the reporting. >> we are on it. a decision to access medication abortion -- abortion medication i should say could come down today if the pill is no longer federally approved for use what will to do, how will state leaders handle that? we will ask a democratic governor tim waltz of minnesota, that's next. lifestyle.ny and innovative wayays to make yr e-tron your own. through elegant design and progressive technology..

could decide as soon as today whether to block access to a key abortion pill nationwide. matthew kaczmarek heard about four hours of arguments on wednesday and suggested that he is seriously considering undoing federal approval of that drug. what's at stake? access could be cut off nationwide to the most common method of abortion in the united states even as states where medication abortion is legal. the vice president kamala harris warning of the potential consequences. >> on the fundamental issue at play with that court case is our public health system as a whole. if politicians can start using the court to undo doctors' decisions, imagine where that

could lead. >> well, this comes as walgreens said it will not dispense mifepristone in the 21 states, including a handful where abortion is legal. following a letter from gop attorney generals in those states. in response a group of 14 governors issued a letter to major pharmacies writing we urge that your decisions continue to be guided by well established science and medical evidence, not politics or litigation threats. so joining us now to discuss one of the signers of that litter democratic governor tim walz of minnesota. thank you very much. here is what you say. you say pharmacies must put health and safety of the people before politics. so how are you -- how much are you concerned about this? >> well, very concerning. good morning, don. i think vice president harris summed it up right. imagine someone with no medical training arbitrarily making a decision about a drug that is

legal, is prescribed by a licensed physician to an individual in their private consultation of what is best for their health. this is not surprising the extremist attacks on reproductive rights and access to abortion is accelerated since the dobbs decision. i think what this letter is stating is being very clear amongst the states that understand that this is going to be an issue that will continue on further beyond mifepristone. we want to make it very clear that they need to decision pence these as according to law. so it's a big deal. i think vice president harris is not overstating where this is at. we see it and i am in an area where the states around me have made abortion illegal or criminal and what that that has done is increased access. we know this does nothing to improve women's access to reproductive health care. it forces them to make really horrific decisions. we are watching this very closely. we are making clear that, you know, 21 extremist attorney

generals do not dictate health care in minnesota or other states. >> governor, can i ask you a question? in january you signed a broad abortion rights bill in into law and republicans in your state were critical. they said the chairman of the republican party said that you lied to voters. that's what they accused you of. make no mess take, it provides for tack pair funded abortion on demand up until and even after birth. can you respond to them? >> these are people that want to make it as you see a death penalty in south carolina and others and republicans in minnesota would do the same thing. look, what i have done is precedence of law, of roe, making sure that we trust women to make their health care decisions. we trust physicians as they deal with these very complicated and very personal decisions. w we have codified it into law to make sure that has been the law of the land. again you hear these extremist screams from the right. these are the folks that simply

want to criminalize women. they want to make it impossible to access care. we are seeing it in utah. and i think what you are seeing is states that trust women, trust science are standing up and saying not on our watch, and that's what this letter was about, that's what the codification in minnesota is about. overwhelmingly, minnesotans voted in november, i trust women and i will protect ac sews to reproductive and abortion care. there is nothing unclear about that statement. they simply will not respect that the voters overwhelmingly rejektd their position and support women. we are following through with what that election said. >> governor, i want to follow up on your first answer because you mentioned these attorneys general and the republican attorneys general have threatened legal action against these pharmacies. isn't there a significant risk for these nationwide pharmacies here? >> yeah, there is a significant risk and we need to stand with them. i think again they made a decision to not do this.

you saw one of our colleagues in california, governor newsom, made the call on walgreens. we are not threatening the pharmacies. we are backing them up. i would go back to the statement. imagine whatever drug you are having to dispensed for you or your family for whatever reason, that someone in one of these states decides we don't want that drug to be dispensed because we have religious or idealogical opposition and you can't get it. these are drugs that are life-saving for women that have pregnancies and complications. this outrageous idea that women are using these things as birth control on the final weeks is ludicrous. and, yes, i am deeply concerned about this. it is unconscionable these folks are making this decision and using the federal courts, not any science, not any precedence, judge shopping to find this and then banding together. again it is outrageous. i want be very clear. the women in these states are

traveling to states like minnesota and others to get life-saving care. that is all they are doing. states like minnesota, we're there to make sure that we're protecting folks and a lot of the things we are doing in codification of laws, we are not cooperating with the states, we are not cooperating with what they are doing and we want to make it clear to the pharmacies they don't need to cooperate either. this is an extremist position, totally out of any precedence, and it's putting people at risk. >> governor, i want to talk about gender-affirming care because last week you took executive action to protect access to gender-affirming care in minnesota. republican state lawmakers across the country have escalated their fight against this type of care, including had week in georgia. i want to know your reaction and, listen, you are a former high school teacher. how does that inform your approach to these issues that concern minors? >> yeah, i know that every child brings their authentic self in their classroom. for 20 years i did this. we know that students are

understanding are trying to understand who they are as theirend i identity is being developed. they are most at risk for bullying, most at risk for suicide, and what we want to say is we are there to protect children, there to have you understand in minnesota you are going to be protected. i want to be clear. i will never understand what goes into the thinking of these folks to bully these children. it is not impacting them in one bit and making it a living hell for children, for families, for adults, for folks just trying to bring themselves in. so in minnesota we are making it very clear we are not going to cooperate with these folks, not be going to extradite people. this is a place you can come to make snthese decisions. the community, the trans community is as terrified as they have ever been. have seen attacks across the nation, even here in minnesota and we are now saying we have to be much more proactive. we have to be much more

aggressive about making sure that folks are protected. so this is another of the fronts that, again, you know, don't deal with climate change. don't deal with other things. deal with making people's lives miserable on something that won't impact you. that's what the governors are doing, these attorney generals are doing and i have had it. as a teacher i will not stand bullies. i never did. i am not going to stand bullies masquerading about somehow about freedom. this has everything to do with forcing an identifology on a gr of people. it won't stand and in the long run americans are far better than that and they are going to find that out. >> governor tim walz of minnesota, appreciate you joining us this morning. your fellow minnesotan poppy harlow is off today and sends her regards. >> thank you both. >> quite a forceful answer there. this morning a new memo where house oversight republicans claim that president biden's family members received more than $1 million indirectly

from a chinese company. these republicans we should not have not provided evidence tying the payments to anyone yet. the white house and a spokesperson for hunter biden's team have dismissed the memo. melanie is joining us live from capitol hill. what have we learned from this p memo? what are republicans laying out? >> reporter: we knew that members of biden's family received money from a chinese-based energy committee. the house oversight committee is sp providing details, including one of the recipients was hallie biden, the widow of beau biding, was romantically involved with hunter biden after beau's death. his name is john robson walker, he transferred over $1 million to three members of biden's family after he received $3 million from that chinese-based energy company but i want to be crystal clear here because this memo does not

directly tie these payments to president joe biden in any way. nor does it provide any evidence that biden directed these payments or took any action during his time in office to ep rich his own family members. hunter biden's legal team says that hunter pursued legitimate business deals, he has a right to do so as a private season, all the money was earned legitimately. they have not proved the purpose much their investigation. >> thank you. all right. and we have a look at stock futures this morning. markets are set to open in about an hour from now. we are keeping an eye on that very closely as we are seeing regional banks get help from bigger banks in an unprecedented move. we will discuss it all with christine romans nokes. next. and effortlessly responds to both of you. our smart sleepers get 28 minutes more rerestful sleep per night. proven quality s sleep. only from sleep number.

so this just in to cnn. a crackdown on annoying spam text messages that you get from unknown numbers. the federal communications commission adopted new rules requiring telecom companies to

block text messages from phone numbers that appear to be invalid allocated or unused. the agency, had, received 18,000 consumer complaints and it mirrors a similar effort to shut down illegal robocalls. i am definitely down. >> fully endorsed. right now, u.s. stock futures are mixed as we await for the market to open. wall street, however, still headed for a winning week after a group of america's biggest banks announce that they will come to the rescue with a $30 billion package for first republic bank. christine romans with the news on silicon valley bank's parent company. >> this just crossed. the parent company of silicon valley bank, the bank that failed and started this whole mess, are highlighted this mess filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in new york. it has $2.2 billion of liquidity. so now we got the next step of this process there.

so we expected this but that filing just happened here. then the other big news is this unbelievable private sector push to shore up first republic. we learned yesterday afternoon that banks led by jpmorgan chase and citigroup, wells fargo and others were all kicking in billions of dollars of their own money to discover the deposits of first republic. this was another big effort in the last week to really project confidence and reassureens in the american financial system. this is essentially a bank-led bailout of one of their competitors because the idea here -- >> that helps them? >> it helps them because financial security is good fire business. financial security is, of course, goodwill for the american economy. that's what we are seeing there. you can see all that money flowing into there. futures are a little bit lower here right now. we are on track for an up week, but i am going to closely be watching the regional bank stocks to see if they can find some footing here. >> that's the thing. yeah, the big banks are coming

up with $30 billion. what about the other maul and mid-sized banks? >> some are struggling but they are going to be okay. others we are watching closely. when i talk to banking experts and policymakers they say the u.s. banking system is strong and it is sound. but we could have more bankruptcies. both these things could happen in the same environment. that's where we are after a year of higher interest rates. >> their stocks are going up. >> yeah, you know, they are trying -- i am searching for stability. putting a floor under this thing. the fire is out but the embers are still -- >> smoldering. >> so we all have to be on guard. >> thank you. >> amazing effort. christine romans, thank you for being with us all week. also, while you were sleeping, in addition if you are not paying attention to the banking crisis, taylor swift was releasing. we have her new and newish music. that's next.

each time she goes on tour. amazing to watch. i looked at the songs this morning, listened on youtube and they had 51 million views at 6:00 a.m. this morning. >> wow. >> what is amazing about taylor with the taylor's version if you following with the masters she has become, like, a legal activist and when you think of a pop star, especially a pop star who appeals to, like, such a young age group you don't think about the kids learning about intellectual property rights and -- you don't think of them learning about business. >> so many artists get tripped up on that and lose their money. not taylor. she owns her masters now. >> she does. i know you are a fan of early prince? >> yes. i love all genres of music. i like taylor swift. i am not as -- what's the word? knowledgeable about her music. kaitlin is really into it. she is going to see her friday in las vegas. you have favorites? did you like? >> yeah, i love the new record

changed so much. when you think about, you know, i talk on my radio show, music is therapy, the emotional connection to art it'ses and taylor talks in her lyrics, she is could candid. we know what she is singing about. something about her vocal tone everyone kind of connects with. i have a 3-year-old, she is now 9, played her taylor swift early on and halfway through the song she turned to me not knowing about taylor's story and she said mommy this is my favorite singer. that really happened. there is something about her vocal tone that really, like, takes people and grabs them and brings them in. so because of that, because people feel close to her like they know her, when she says i want you to stream taylor's version because i get paid because i own this because artists should own their work, they do what she says because they feel so connected to her. >> that's the thing about artists. it's the ouunknown. someone has the je ne sais quoi. >> she has that. >> thank you for having me.

madness. first round games continue today, turns out, your choice of cable or streaming could be setting you up for a major spoiler. cnn's senior data reporter harry enten has this morning's number. that applies to me, especially with the streaming service that i have on my phone, when i'm watching from my phone i notice everybody is 40 second ahead of me. >> it's a thing and something i have run into a lot so i got really interested in this. this morning's number is 25% because that's the percentage of ncaa fans who streamed at least one game over the last year. so streaming is becoming a lot more popular and, you know, you are talking about streaming and someone like me who might be watching on cable and talking about that lag, that lag, right? it turns out there is a massive lag. how much lag behind realtime action? this is an estimate using this past year's super bowl as an example. so cable lags behind realtime action by 28 seconds. look at the average streamer, a bundle, let's say fubu, hulu,

your youtube tv, that lags by an average of 67 seconds. so streaming lagged cable by 39 seconds overall. i want to give you an idea of how this works in realtime with a good example up here. we literally have cable and then we started the clock for 39 seconds, you look at streaming tv. nothing is going on at this particular point. why is this so important? because maybe you want to be texting with trends, don. maybe you are on twitter, right, and you're following the action. or maybe you have a sports app and it's updating you and of course they get the action in realtime and you're watching, let's say, youtube tv and all of a sudden the action is happening and you have no idea what's going on and i for one can't stand this, especially when i'm watching an nfl game and i can't watch my buffalo bills streaming, i have to make sure that i'm getting it in realtime. we just hit zero and the streaming just started. that's how much of a delay that we are talking about here. so when you're, let's say, texting your friends on the ncaa

buzzer beaters all of a sudden you might not necessarily know what's going on. let's walk back here a little bit. again, as i mentioned, it's your friends texting, it's at which time, it's your sports app, all that lagging really hurts. do you know what, americans really hate spoilers and it's not just about sports streaming. twitter can spoil stream shows, let's say "succession," for example. we have polling for everything. about 75% of americans hate spoilers of any type. if they ruin suction"successione i will be angry. >> it's a great argument for cable, by the way. >> i'm glad you said that. i was going to say just get cable, it's in realtime pretty much. >> notification from cbs sports before you even behind out what happened to the game. >> yeah. >> awful. i can't stand it. annoys the heck out of me. >> and you spend more money i find on all of these services than just cable. figure it out, it's called cable. >> we have a lot of games to watch today. >> we will be right back, harry.
