4:08 am
trial for defamation, a judge has delayed opening statements until tomorrow. the wall street journal reports the network is trying to settle this lawsuit before trial voting systems is suing fox news for $1.6 billion dominion has accused the network of spreading lies and conspiracy theories about the company and its voting machines after donald trump lost the election, even though fox news hosts and executives allegedly knew that they were false, and some analysts have already dubbed this the media trial of the century. rupert murdoch and the whole lineup of fox news stars, including tucker carlson are expected to testify if the trial moves forward. cnn media analyst sarah fisher live outside the courthouse in washington, delaware. good morning to you, sarah. so you are all ready to go. everybody's already to go report to get ready to do the trial, and then all of a sudden nothing. sources are saying that in this case it is being reported that maybe fox is looking for a settlement. but will dominion accepted what is
4:09 am
going on with the delay? well we're going to find out more at nine a.m. don, because the judge will allow reporters in so he can explain a little bit more about the delay. now if fox were to settle that would set a huge precedent for a lot of the other defamation cases that it faces what they face a $2.7 billion defamation case from smartmatic so its settlement might be advantageous because they can avoid a huge spectacle here in court. we would avoid being here for six weeks covering a trial, but it would put facts in a little bit of a precarious legal situation now to your point. at the top dominion has been holding fast to its claims. it is not wanted to settle because it believes, and legal experts believe that it has a strong case. but if we don't get a settlement within the next 24 hours done, we will be back here for the finalization of the jury selection for this trial and the opening statements as it begins can we move on and talk? sarah also about google, and this and a i and this just remarkable. in
4:10 am
a review last night on on 60 minutes, because that has just terrifying people. i want everyone to listen to this exchange between google ceo center petechiae and scott pelley. there is an aspect of this which we call all of us in the field. call it as a black box. you know you don't fully understand. and you can't quite tell why it said this or why it got wrong. we have some ideas and our ability to understand this gets better or time. but that's where the state of the artist you don't fully understand how it works. and yet you've turned it loose on society. let me put it this way . i don't think we fully understand how human mind works, either. what should we take away from that? well in a separate interview, sundar pichai said that they were in a rush to get this out, in part because of the consumer demand around generative ai, but it does pose some questions, poppy and don
4:11 am
about the risk that these technologies pose when we're introducing them and rolling them out. as smart as this stuff is the smarter it gets, the more dangerous it gets. and you heard that in the interview with the ceo of google, even he says, he can't fully understand how it works. it kind of harkens back to where we are today. here in delaware, you have this interesting time where information landscape is changing so rapidly. it's hard for us to all wrap our minds around it, and scott pelley did ask him about disseminating more disinformation because of a i right and that goes to sort of the core of like the law the case that may go to trial there this week. disinformation misinformation lies, etcetera. i spoke to senator patricia fetuses in 2019. about a i so this was four years ago, and here's what he told me then. we may need to slow down some some development in some areas. but i think it creates jobs in the way people don't expect either slowed down some development sometimes you know, we may say,
4:12 am
well, if it is going to be very disruptive in a certain area. you may want to be more thoughtful that the pace at which something happens. that's not something i would expect to see of google to say. i mean your basics, basically saying, we have to weigh our technological advancement and competitiveness with. what it means for humanity. absolutely. i think it's important and i think it's important what society expects us to do. that's what society expects us to do. but now look at the competition they're up against with microsoft's ai, where do you think this goes? i remember that interview. well poppy because it felt explosive to me. you very rarely hear text ceo, saying that they need to slow their role when it comes to innovation because it is a very competitive landscape. i think the difference between now and then is that one they have a huge competitor and open a i. that's starting to roll this stuff out commercially and to the public and then to you also are at a time when tech stocks even
4:13 am
though they're rallying in 2023. i saw a huge loss in 2022. google, of course, had sweeping layoffs along with other companies in the tech sector. they're likely feeling that competitive pressure, sarah so you're waiting for dominion right now to see what happens. so any idea you said we're just all you do now is wait for the judge tomorrow. that's it. well we're gonna see what he says at nine a.m. and then we're going to wait and see if there is any sort of settlement news between now and then. if there isn't we will be going into court tomorrow at nine am for that jury finalization and for the trial to start and then it will look like we'll be here for several weeks. there's a lot that could happen between now and then. and so we'll check that again at nine a.m. if not before with sarah fisher. sarah, thank you so much. now to the pentagon leak investigation. the 21 year old air national guardsman jack to sarah is scheduled to return to court on wednesday. his arrest last week is raising questions about how the military handles top secret clearances. so here's house intel chairman mike turner watch. the access that he was
4:14 am
having to this information should have been cut off. he should have never been having access to this level of classified information that could hurt the united states. so former homeland security official juliette kayyem, who oversaw the base where jack to share a worked writes this i am at a loss to explain why 21 year old member of the state intelligence wing who does not appear to have been working in any federal capacity would need access to that kind of materials whose release has so unnerved the pentagon. juliet is with us now, and we should note for people to sort of hard for me to believe. from 2006 to 2009. you ran this space where he worked. you oversaw the massachusetts air national guard. so you have a real understanding of what they do. why would he have this kind of security clearance serving as homeland security advisor? i mean, the governor is the decider but served governor deval patrick at the time so oversaw the national guard.
4:15 am
they're planning. so we have the state national guard, which reports to the governor. we have a lot of federal facilities in massachusetts, including at this air force wing and the uh, the men and women in the national guards serve in the state capacity, but some of them and this is what we don't know yet or what we call federalized. they're put into title 10 status and work essentially for the pentagon, and i have to say that's probably what happened here. but the pentagon has been quiet about what his status was right. so top secret, right people. that's a lot of people 100.25 million people. yes, have this clearance. i'll break it down for you. so it is a lot of people. the top secret clearance is simply the disclosure of the information that they have would cause sort of grievous harm to the united states interests. most of them are government. but they are not just the intelligence community. they are. think about the commerce department and some of the stuff that they're working state and local governments, some of them and why pd. some of them would
4:16 am
have access to classified information. then you have our contractors and a lot of them are the people building the planes and the and the and the and the networks that keep us safe and then other is sort of your catch all at this stage, but it would include private citizens and others who may have it would just note in 2019. he would have been about 19 years old getting exactly clearance. that's exactly right access. what's interesting? is one defense official told cnn. this it's not like a regular it guy to chair was not like your regular i t guy where you call the desk and they can fix your computer. they're working on highly classified system, so they require that clearance, so they require the clearance because he's essentially a pass through. so if anything were to happen, he may be exposed to the information. but he doesn't need to know the content. he's not doing anything with the content . so the way i describe it is my sort of my background so i had top secret. when i was in government. i didn't have access to everything. there'd be no reason for me so i would know. say that there was a terrorism threat. i wouldn't need to know
4:17 am
what are the sources of methods that they found out that we had a spy in a terrorist organization. it appears that he had access to all of that and then takes it out. so that's the access question is one and then his handling of it is another exactly keeps coming back to the to your point, exactly, which is just because you have the clearance doesn't mean you need to get all this stuff. couldn't it be shared on a need to know basis? that's exactly right. and i guess you know what we don't know yet is did he need access to all of it simply because of his role as essentially an i t and then that's something that the defense department is going to have to determine whether that's actually smart does he actually need to do those people actually need access? the pentagon is going to have to get this in line and whether he was in national guard status or federal status because this sensitive information and how we get the information. and now that it's disclosed is not only a threat to us allies are
4:18 am
looking at us and thinking, you know what the heck what do you want to share? what do we want to say, juliet? thank you very much. thank you. the house judiciary committee is taking a field trip and holding a hearing right here in new york city on crime. how city officials are responding next governor ron desantis banning certain books from libraries and restricting abortion after six weeks why he is now losing the support of a republican mega donor ahead. cnn this morning. is brought to you by viv guard. foadults with generalized myasthenia gravis who are receptor antibodies. it may feel like the world is moving without you, but the picture is changing with heart clinical trial participants achieved improved daily abilities added to their current treatment. and they've

4:23 am
film star stormy daniels, according to the committee. today's hearing will zero in on how brags quote pro crime, anti victim policies have led to an increase in violent crime and a dangerous community for new york city residents. cnn sara murray live outside the javits federal building. in new york city with the very latest on this good morning, sarah. this is just the latest in a growing feud between brag and jordan's what is today going to look like? please tell us we are going to see an escalation of that's you today. i mean, republicans on this committee are seeking to highlight victims of violent crime, including of bodega clerk at bragg's office and charged with second degree murder later dropped those charges amid a public outcry from people who felt this was self defense from a clerk who is protecting himself in an altercation, so that's what republicans are going to focus on democrats. are going to try to pivot this to talk about gun violence we're going to hear from mayor eric
4:24 am
adams before this hearing today, as well as with the top democrat on this committee, you know. eric adams already said on another network this morning that this hearing is going to be the height of hypocrisy. but the broader backdrop here is this is really republicans trying to give cover to donald trump trying to stick it to alvin bragg. on his own turf right after alvin bragg brought this indictment and as republicans are trying to investigate the investigation into donald trump down and the mayor was on friday , saying that he believed that this was just a deflection from the real issues. he was on this very program. how is brag? responding to the hearing jordan's put together, sarah uh huh. well the d a s office is unamused. and in one statement, they said if chairman jordan's truly cared about public safety , he could take a short drive to columbus, dayton, cincinnati, cleveland, akron or toledo in his home state instead of using taxpayer dollars to travel hundreds of miles out of his way and again. this comes after bragg has sued yordan and the judiciary committee, saying that they are trying to meddle in his
4:25 am
criminal investigation because jordan and other republicans have asked, brag, and other former prosecutors in his office for documents and testimony, so this is a sort of rolling few that will continue here in new york today, don and sarah murphy murray will be covering this rolling feud. thank you, sarah. i appreciate it. new this morning. a major republican donor is now turning on florida governor ron desantis halting his support because of the potential 2024 is hopeful, hopeful extreme positions on social issues. that is the reasoning that thomas gave, let's talk about what he told the financial times quote because of his meaning. desantis stance on abortion and book banning myself and a bunch of friends are holding our powder dry. so who are they holding it for? michael smerconish is here. cnn political commentator and host of cnn's smerconish. good morning. michael. hi hi. money talks money matters. is this a big deal? it could be a big deal. i mean, i think
4:26 am
ron desantis right now is checking all the boxes in terms of what you do to try and secure the republican nomination, not necessarily win a general election, and i think that's what this donor is focused on. can i just say bigger picture? it looks like this is really going to happen meaning trump and desantis because i've had my doubts. i have to believe that ron desantis gave pause said to himself. i'm 44. i've been twice elected governor of a big state and important state. do i really want to get in a cage with this guy? the polls have been consistent trumpet about 50 desantis at about 25, but it looks like he's doing all the things that one has to do to really run for president as a republican, so i guess this is the start. so you think it's gonna you think it's gonna happen? you say? i yeah, don. i think it's going to happen. i think when you sign a six week abortion bill ban in florida, i think when you rejected ap course for african american
4:27 am
studies in the state of florida , i think when you're super pac, even though you've got to stay disconnected from them runs an anti trump ad. i think you really are getting into the race. but i continue to believe that donald trump's real opponents are not named desantis and tense and haley and scott. they are named, brag. they are named harlan there named jack smith and they're named fani willis. you mentioned the ad the super pac and let's play and then we'll discuss here it is. donald trump is being attacked by a democrat prosecutor in new york. so why is he spending millions attacking the republican governor of florida trump's stealing pages from the biden pelosi playbook, repeating lies about social security should fight democrats not lie about governor desantis. what happened to donald trump? i mean , it seems like he's running. why run that ad? if he's not running you know don. what's interesting to me is the very first line, which says that
4:28 am
donald trump is being attacked by democratic prosecutor democrat prosecutor in new york he no. he's been indicted right , but the indictment thus far of trump in the stormy daniels related case has been a political advantage for donald trump. so it's like they don't want to hit him too hard with the fact that he's it's crazy when you stop and think about it. they don't want to hit him hard for being indicted because that has bolstered his fundraising, meaning trump's fund. raising it was. it's interesting. just also what happened over the weekend at this donor retreat, and i think you know georgia governor brian kemp's interview with jake and state of the union yesterday was also really telling in terms of essentially saying move on right move on republican party focused on the issues and then governor christie noodles saying about trump. i don't think he can win in 2024. well i think that a lot of the major donors are keeping their powder dry right? they probably would like to move on from donald trump. but trump has
4:29 am
has raised tens of millions of dollars since being indicted and he's done it on a grassroots basis. almost bernie sanders style except on the gop side of the aisle, so you know they don't know how to deal with them. they don't know how to derail him, and he remains consistent. in the polls. they uh, they meaning, i think that the major republican donors would rather i poppy. you know what? i really believe? i believe that the intelligence of the gop if they could go behind a curtain and vote yea or nay on donald trump, it's a big nave oat, but they're scared to death of the base, and therefore the emperor might have no close, but nobody's going to say it, michael, can we just go back real quickly to this abortion bill that ron desantis signed? because it's not the abortion issue is not working and not polling well for republicans, so he maybe he thinks it's gonna build wealth for him. but it
4:30 am
doesn't it doesn't look that way. hey don. here's something else to think about 22 fold one. he signed it in private. he signed it in private if he wanted to make a big deal out of it, he would have handled it differently. but think about donald trump. i mean, if you want to, if you want to take credit for the overturning of roe versus wade. donald trump is the guy who ought to be able to do it because he appointed three conservative supreme court justice. and yet he doesn't he doesn't say anything about it because i believe trump recognizes that the issue is a net loser in a general election general election. remember when he was running? he told leslie stahl on 60 minutes, i will work and appoint. pro life. judges but you're right. desantis sign that bill at like 11 o'clock at night, right? no, no cameras on him. no, no trying to get that in the headlines, michael, thanks very much. i'll be listening to you today and watching you on the weekends. alright see ya. bye bye. thank you this morning space x expected to test its most powerful rocket yet. so why is

4:35 am
that's the moon and just over an hour, a starship rocket is set to lift off from spacex launch pad in southern texas. the company says that this is a test launch for a ship that could eventually bring people to earth's orbit the moon and someday. mars can you believe it? but yesterday, the ceo elon musk warned people not to get too excited, he said there's a good chance of spacex will delay that launch. cnn's senior national correspondent, mr ed lavandera, live for us in south padre island, texas, with the very latest, this is exciting. we're not supposed to get too excited. so what. it's exciting because we don't really know what's going to happen here over the next few hours, but there are thousands of people here on the southern edge of south padre island. we're about five miles
4:36 am
away from that launchpad the window for spacex to launch this rocket opens about seven am central time they have about three hours to get that done. spacex is saying that they're looking around eight a.m. central time for a launch here. but the way elon musk is talking about this, this could be a spectacular success or an epic fireworks show. the spacex starship is the most powerful rocket ever built its 400 ft tall, super heavy booster is packed with 33 engines, and it will attempt to push the crude starship spacecraft, which sits on top of the rocket booster into space if the rocket launches properly, the spacecraft will separate less than three minutes into the flight and travel east from south texas and go much of the way around the earth before splashing into the pacific ocean. hawaii. hours before the scheduled launch. spacex founder elon musk worked to lower expectations to the point that he seemed to be bracing for
4:37 am

father, javier calvo runs the casa del migrant shelter in juarez, mexico, across the border from el paso, texas, and says this is one of about 40 shelters in the city, and that most of the migrants here are from venezuela. the top nationality is venezuelan majority, if not all, are part of the skyrocketing number of migrants trekking through the dangerous jungle passage between colombia and panama, known as the darien gap, migrant crossings there have jumped from under 620 10 to nearly a quarter million last year. this year, nearly 90,000 migrants have made the track so far, all of them on their way to the u. s southern border. biden ministrations took notice and alongside colombia and panama, it launched a two month campaign to curb the flow of migration. we must do more to discourage the dangerous journey
4:50 am
at the u. s southern border, the humanitarian crisis that left hundreds of migrants sleeping on the streets of el paso in december and january, has effectively jumped the border to mexico, immigration advocates say. emotions there. boiled over last month when a large group of migrants rushed the international bridge to el paso over frustrations with the cumbersome us asylum process, forcing them to wait in mexico. public dissatisfaction stemmed from the trump era pandemic public health rule known as title 42, which allows immigration agents to swiftly expel migrants back to mexico. the biden administrations expansion of that rule to venezuelans, nicaraguans, haitians and cubans and the recent launch of an app that allows migrants to set up appointments to enter the us legally pending immigration proceedings. under an exception to title 42 the real product.

comprehensive immigration strategy that is fair and efficient and that it allows for legal pathways to enter into the united states. and that includes the cbp one app which you saw in that story just now now u. s. customs and border protection, says that the cbp one app is working as intended and that tens of thousands of migrants have already used it to set up appointments to enter into the united states. but poppy and don , you can see that there are still migrants here outside and again. we haven't seen this since january. and probably you probably remember this very clearly because we were on the air. at the same time. there were hundreds of people now. yes, there's fewer people. but is this the spike before the end of title? 42? we don't know. we'll see. that's the big question. yeah. thank you, rosa. a new report this morning finds that there was another sharp increase in anti semitic incidents. last year. we're gonna break it. break it all

4:58 am
of democracy. and this new data, which we're releasing today in partnership with television university. shows a frightening and, unfortunately almost predictable increase in anti semitism worldwide, so we saw across europe in places like belgium, hungary, italy, switzerland, spain, places like australia all around the world. you're seeing this rise of attacks, vandalism, violence perpetrated against jewish people there at some places that i want to talk about where it's actually decreasing, but let's i wonder what kind of attacks are happening now and who are the victims. well it's interesting you ask. i mean, one of the trends is certainly orthodox jews, jews who are visibly jewish, wearing a kippah. maybe a black cat, maybe wearing a wig as we see here in new york, particularly in brooklyn, the stanford hill neighborhood in london. they bear the brunt of physical, abrasive anti semitism
4:59 am
. you talked about what happened here that it examines these assaults in in new york city. um the city recorded the most assaults in the u. s yeah, we've talked about some of those those incidents. why does this continue? you think jonathan? what do you think? what really needs to change here. i think there are a few things that are driving this and there's some very interesting data in this report. one of which is that you know, anti semitism remains to go to tactic of authoritarians and extremists. from putin trying to bring anti semitism into the ukraine war claims about the notification which white supremacists here in america picked up where we like the houthis in yemen. exhibiting some of the most vicious anti semitism done. there are no jews in yemen, but that is the iranian regime using their proxies there to push out global propaganda, so it's a go to tactic of the bad guys again visible. jews are being targeted , and i think why is it happening? you see this polarization in all of these
5:00 am
democratic societies, you see extremist feeling bold and around the world and then social media continues to exacerbate and intensify. by the problem. on the other hand, you talked about the countries where it's increasing countries, including germany, austria, france and uk , canada, argentina, they saw a decline in the number of anti semitic incidents compared to 2021 leaders. they're doing the right thing. are they doing something differently than the leaders in places? great question. i think yes, so like even in france and germany, where it came down slightly, was already at historic levels like we see here in america. but when people in positions of authority elected officials, university presidents, people with authority show up, speak out. that makes a big difference. it sends a signal. it deters people and it brings people together and attack on one is an attack on all and thank you so much jonathan for bringing us information. let's hope we get a handle on this. thank you very much. apprecte
