>> good morning. we are glad you are with us. it is the top of the hour. an incredibly close call, a police officer, that's what you saw in virginia, nearly crushed by an out-of-control car during a traffic stop. we will tell you who was driving. also the manhunt in texas over this morning as we just got an update and details from the sheriff's office after the arrest of the suspected gunman accused of murdering five of his neighbors. and brand-new reporting about a major crackdown on the chinese version of facebook and instagram accounts that were pretending to be news outlets in the united states and europe. this hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now. we watched the press conference here live. several arrests have been made, several, multiple, in connection to the capture of the texas massacre suspect. he was being walked out

yesterday. that is according to the sheriff's office at a news conference. as we know, the suspect was on the run for four days after he alleged by stormed into his neighbor's home with an ar-15 and killed five people, including a child, after they complained about him shooting his gun outside. the fbi says it was a tip that led them to a house miles away from the murder scene where he was hiding in a closet under a pile of laundry. >> anybody that helps -- anybody that helped this maniac has definitely got some kind of issues as far as i am concerned. >> as the chief deputy there speaking, ed lavandera was asking questions. they said there have been several arrests. do we know how many or who could have been arrested here? >> reporter: yeah, those are the details we are still trying to unravel. i think it's going to take some time as investigators, as you just heard from the cheap deputy of the san jacinto county sheriff's department say that they could only really say and

confirm that several arrests have been made. so we are continuing to try to unravel this. we do know that the house where this suspect was taken into custody last night does have a connection, according to law enforcement sources, to francisco oropesa's family. exactly who that is and how they have been helping or not helping is the details we don't quite have yet. the chief deputy did say that francisco oropesa had not been at that home the entire time while he was on the run. so clearly there is some movement. the chief deputy also said that he was communicating with a cellphone with various family members. this comes because we do know that right on saturday, after the -- the day after the shooting, investigators found a cellphone and clothing belonging to the suspect in a yard several houses just down the street from where the murders took place.

so, clearly, this continues to change and continue to develop as investigators are turning a much closer eye to francisco oropesa's family and anyone who might have been helping him while he was on the run for four days. the location where he was found is roughly about ten miles away from where the murders took place. so investigators were just telling me after the press conference, they believe that because of that, that he was a very good chance he was going to be closer the -- to this area and not really have the ability to get farther away, even though tips of sightings of him were coming in from over the country, warnings were being put out in border communities because this suspect is a mexican national, there was the concern he might escape south of the border. but he is expected in court to meet with a judge to set the bond. as of now, his bond is set at

$5 million. he has been charged with five counts of murder already. the sheriff told us last night those criminal charges get elevated to capital murder, we means he would be eligible for the death penalty here in texas. >> yeah, of course, it was that one critical tip that led to this. ed lavandera, keep us updated. he want to know -- there were five victims here. the youngest was 9 years old. the oldest 31 years old. we are continuing to keep that family in our thoughts. ed lavandera, thank you. the biden administration is bracing for a surge of migrants at the u.s./mexico border. an additional 15 unactive duty troops will be sent to reinforce the border for 90 days. they are expected to rise drastically when title 42 ends next county week. that i aallows officials to exp migrants. russell flores joins us from el paso, texas.

as you continue to follow this, what is the situation there right near the border? and do you have the sense that 15 active duty troops being added to border patrol will make a meaningful difference? >> reporter: you know, about those dod personnel, poppy, it will allow customs and border protection to do their law enforcement role because the dod will be doing more administrative. so that will help in the sense that it will allow border patrol agents to do their jobs. as to what people might think about it, just take a look. this is a very similar scene to yesterday. there are still hundreds of migrants who are sleeping here in the streets of el paso around a catholic church. what these people are worried about right now is where they are going to eat, where their children are going to sleep. i talked to a mother and her children yesterday and i asked her little boy, what was his dream here in the united states? he said he wanted a shower.

basic things. he was hoping for some food. those are the things that are crossing the minds of the individuals who are here right now. a lot of these migrants sold everything that they had in their home countries and risked their lives to come here to the united states. i talked to the police who runs the shelter, the shelter has a capacity of 120, 130. most of the individuals who are inside the shelter are women with children. and, poppy, he put it like this. this is a mass migration issue that involves the entire world because there are nationalities from all over the world that are coming into the country. and what he -- he said el paso appears to be the funnel where most of these migrants are coming through at this point in time. that's why you're seeing what you're seeing right here in the streets of el paso. it's this funnel. that's what el paso is looking like right now. and he is overwhelmed.

the priest says that he really doesn't know how much longer this can go on, but he was asking for the federal government to step in, to do something, to figure out a solution because, as he says, the worries for a lot of these individuals that are here is not their immigration status. he says we can't ignore that these are human beings that are in mamerica and now america has to figure out a way -- america has to figure out what to do. >> next week title 42 goes away, rosa. >> for more will herd, a former republican congressman from texas who for six years represented a district that spanned a third of the u.s./mexico border. he is also a former undercover cia officer. thank you for joining us. we have this news that the pentagon confirmed they are going it send 1,500 u.s. troops to the border to help with the situation that rosa was slaying

la laying out there. is that a good move, in your view? >> no, it's a sign of how bad this situation has become. this administration is ignorant. they are incompetent and foolish when it comes to dealing with this border crisis. it's actually a humanitarian crisis from their own making. and the reality is, the thing that they need to d is actually stop treating everybody that's coming into our crew as an asylum seeker. that's why we have had over 6.3 million people come into this country illegally since president biden came into office. last year that was 2.5 million people. and these policies are aiding and abetting human smugglers and human traffickers. this policy is not humane and it's having an impact on all of our cities. it's not just the border anymore. it's having an impact in chicago and new york.

and if president biden actually listened to his border patrol officers, he would figure out what they need to do in order to solve this problem. it's gotten so bad, it's unbelievable. and ultimately i think secretary mayorkas needs to be fired and somebody else needs to be brought in to address this problem. >> i know that's a position you maintained, that secretary mayorkas who runs dhs at this time should not be in that position any longer. in 2018 trump also decided to send u.s. forces to the border, 5,000 of them, when the caravan was approaching the southern border around the 2018 midterm election. this has been done before. the question is, what's the alternative if you don't think this is what works? >> well, look, i had a problem with it when the last administration did it, too. guess what? the last administration started treating everyone as an asylum seeker. we need to deport more people. it is illegal to come to our

country between our ports of entry without the proper documentation. to be an asylum seeker, you have to be a part of a protected class, which is usually something to deal with your race, religion, your sexual orientation. your government has to be persecuting you because you are part of that protected class. in the united states america, to get a better job, is not a reason for asylum. as a gentleman said in the earlier segment, when people are in our custody we should treat them humanely and properly but we should be sending them back to their home countries. by the way, if we deal with the issue on the border we could streamline legal immigration to get more people into the country appropriately. even with the economy being bad as it is, there are so many industries that needs workers. let's do it -- people here legally. is there is a number of solutions, y'all know, i was one of the architects of the last really bipartisan immigration

border security bipartisan piece of legislation and we can do this -- we should be supportive of immigration and our country is better for it, but it needs to be done the right way. unfortunately, our last two presidents have taken terrible decisions that have ultimately allowed us to have open borders which is something that we won't be able to sustain long term. >> given that this has been at the forefront of what almost all republicans have run on for the last, you know, however many years, why is it still such a fight? we are watching this play out on capitol hill now, republicans cannot agree what an immigration package should look like. why can't your party, given how much they prioritize this and the way they speak publicly, find a solution for this? >> sure, i parishiat the question. democrats are just as bad, too. they could have streamlined legal immigration. there is the bill, the usa act, that it was when republicans were in charge we tried to jam

republican leadership to pass this and when speaker pelosi came into power she could have picked that up. i agree with you. this is one of the reasons people are frustrated with washington, d.c., and politicians because everybody talks a lot of noise but don't follow it up with action. and so there is another a number of pieces of legislation i would start with the usa act. that was done in a bipartisan way. that is something that -- that ultimately could be moved. it comes to the hearings about understanding how dhs working, making sure dhs understands the problem. the fact that mayorkas came at one of his hearings and said that the border was secure. . that's not true. the fact that president biden's communications director, excuse me, press secretary said that immigration was down 90%. either she was lying or somebody was lying to her. how do we not have the right information about what's going on? and secretary mayorkas didn't

know how many kids had been lost in the system. the fact they don't understand the basic numbers, is a sign they can't get it done. i agree with you. republicans should be pushing legislation forward how to deal with this problem. ultimately border patrol has the tools to deport more people. it's the administration making a policy decision not to do that. and so that starts in the white house. that starts in the executive chambers of department of homeland security and they need to be enforcing the laws that are on the books. we had been dealing with border security for a long time before people started using title 42, and this is a problem. these communities are being impacted. oh, by the way, we have a foreign policy that works in these countries where the -- >> congressman -- >> the majority of the illegal immigration is coming from to address the problem there. >> you have been critical of the biden administration. you are said to be considering a

2024 run for the republican nomination. have you made a decision on that? >> i haven't made a decision. i have been fortunate to serve my country in a number of ways, whether it was overseas, in the cia or in congress. and i am not closing the door on being able to serve again in the future. >> not closing the door. if you don't run, if trump is the republican nominee given he is leading the polls at this time, do you think he would lose in a head-to-head contest with president biden? >> yes. president biden is campaigning on finishing the job, right? and if he were to finish the job, that means inflation's going to continue to be out of control, crime is going to rise. his strategy, president biden's strategy is based on donald trump being the nominee. we know the facts. we lost the house in 2018. we lost the white house and the senate in 2020. the red wave didn't materialize in 2022.

president trump has too much baggage that is going to be used against him in november and that's going to cause republicans to continue to lose. i am sick and tired of losing and i want to make sure that we have real conservative thought that is driving this country. oh, by the way, guess what? there is an opportunity. when 7 out of 10 americans don't want joe biden to run for re-election, that's an opportunity for us. but we have to nominate the right candidates. that can appeal to independents, appeal to some democrats and, if we do that, then we are going to be able to see a real red wave and be able to see us win not just the popular sloavote, but in some contested senate races, win some governorships. but that requires more people to vote in primaries and make sure we get somebody that can take advantage of this opportunity to beat a weak and ineffective current ptz. >> i should note those polls show the republicans would rather see someone other than trump as the nominee despite the

fact he is leading that race. if you decide to get in, let us know. former congressman, will hurd, thank you. >> fascinating conversation. also this just in to cnn. the russians claiming two ukrainian drones were flown towards the kremlin overnight. the kremlin says it was an attempt on the president's life. they are calling it a terrorist act. and this, ukrainian president zelenskyy calling out the biden white house saying it has not told him anything about the leak of top-secret u.s. intelligence. all of that is ahead. aaghh] identical twins. both struggle with cpap for their sleep apnea. but stephanie got inspire. an implanted device that works inside the bodydy to help heher sleep. unlike her sister. there's more than one way to treat your sleep apnea. if you struggle with cpap, look into getting inspire. inspire. sleep apnea innovation. learn more and view important safety information at inspiresleep.com. ♪

president putin. the kremlin says that two ukrainian drones were flown towards the kremlin last night. a statement released moments ago, they say, quote, we regard these actions as a planned terrorist act an attempt on the president's life. it also says russia reserves the right to take retolltory mea measures where and when sees fit. putin was not in the kremlin at the time this happened. nic robertson is live in eastern ukraine with this breaking news. what are we learning? this is coming from the kremlin. if you take everything they say with a grain of salt. what are you learned about this? >> reporter: yeah, really has to be taken with a lot of concern and treated with the fact that we know that the kremlin often lie about the situation. what we know is what the kremlin tells their population often sticks with the population that russians will most often believe what they are told by the kremlin.

that's another reason to take this seriously because is this an effort by putin to try to find some way to escalate or again justify his war in ukraine. what do we know at the moment? we know that state media reported that two ukrainian uavs, unmanned aerial vehicles, were flown towards the kremlin, that they were intercepted, disabled, that the debris that fell from them didn't cause any injuries inside the kremlin. after that, the kremlin then said this was an attack, attempt on president putin's life. as you said, we know that putin wasn't there inside the kremlin at the time. there are social media videos of what purports to be this incident, but again this requires absolute scrutiny and cnn at this time cannot verify. eyewitnesses about the time that this event is allegedly supposed to have taken place do report hearing at least one loud clap or small explosion in the area. but at the moment ukrainians haven't said anything officially

about it, but it is clear that for ukraine this would be a concern about how russia will respond and use this information that they are putting out in the population, what more do we know about these drones. we do know that ukraine does have longer distance drones than it did tin the past. they threaten the kremlin in this way -- [ inaudible ] we need to pay very close attention to -- close scrutiny of this video. >> and it is important to note that we have seen russian allege things in the past to justify its own actions. you said we have not heard anything from the ukrainian side on this? >> reporter: correct. false flag operations have been the modus operandi, the playbook of the kremlin. absolutely. they want to do this sort of thing to use it as propaganda as they have in the past for events that are yet to unfold. we know that russia is concerned

about a potential ukrainian counteroffensive. we know that they are -- that russians are losing troops at the front line in high numbers. troops fight in those front lines today, and, you know, they talk about the intensity of the fight, the expectations and the training they get for the battle ahead of them. so the expectation on the ground all along the front lines in ukraine is that the fighting here is going to heat up. what we have also seen in recent days, and i think this is very significant and very important, we have seen two russian trains just inside russia north outside over the border from ukraine, inside russia, struck earlier this week. we have seen oil depots struck deep in russia south. not inside ukraine. so it appears as if russia is getting targeted inside russia, not clearly by whom, on vital supply lines, the train links,

and fuel stores. so is the tempo of activity over the border inside russia heating up? who is perpetrating it? we don't know:the events over the kremlin, russian propaganda or real events, it's unclear at the moment. >> if you hear anything, please keep us updated. let's bring in retired lieutenant colonel alexander vindman, the former european affairs director at the national security council. he served as trump's top expert. you are the perfect news to have on this news. how would you expect this? even if it is russian propaganda, how would you expect this to cause russia to act towards ukraine? what would retaliation look like and how would you be advising the administration if you were still doing that? >> sure. so the first thing is, we could set aside that at one possibility is that this is a pretext for the russians to

target zelenskyy as they have periodically throughout the war, especially early on, for assassination. it's a pretext saying this is a response to a ukrainian tack. more than likely, it's probably a shaping operation. we have seen long range attacks. ukrainians have indijnized unmanned combat aerial capability and struck out against targets on the russian side of the border deep into ukraine. this is a demonstration of capability, you know, hundreds of kilometers. 600 plus kilometers to moscow and they went after what's probably a strategic messaging target, which is the kremlin itself, that the kremlin is vulnerable, that we were able to launch uavs that got that close to the kremlin, the videos that are on media show fire burning on one of the chapels in the kremlin itself. that's a pretty powerful demonstration and something intended to send a signal to the russians that they are no longer

safe at home either. and the ukrainians land blows in this counteroffensive in the coming weeks and months, this is also going to show there is a cost directly to the russian pop six. i think it's part of a shaping operation rather than pretext, but could be a pretext. >> it speaks to what nick reported at the end of his report that russia is getting targeted inside russia, deeper inside russia, unclear by whom. >> that's definitely -- i mean, it's pretty clear. the thing is that the ukrainians have gone to a policy and kind of an israeli policy of non-attribution or not taking credit for these attacks. but in fact it's pretty clear logically who is conducting these attacks. it's the ukrainian armed forces attempting to set conditions to liberate their territory, free their people from russian occupation. these are minor events unfold going in a precursor to a major strike by ukrainian armed forces that will achieve broad effects,

i think. we are not going to see the war end in the next five, six months, but the ukrainians are going to achieve some major gains. i am not a schedule particular here. i believe what i see with my eyes that the ukrainians have demonstrated capability to lab rate territory, they are going to put enormoal pressure on vp o put up or shut up. put up doing another mobilization pulling in hundreds of thousands of troops or start to put his toes into negotiations which is the more likely course of action. >> so, obviously, we take everything russia says with a grain of salt given how much they lie. about you do you think that there is a real chance here that this is what ukraine was trying to do, that it was an attempt on putin's life? >> i don't think it's an attempt on putin's life. the ukrainians probably better than anybody else know the patterns of lifes un -- it's pr there are massive motorcades that lock up the city of moscow

when he is traveling there. they were confident that he wasn't going to be in the kremlin and it was more of a -- again, a strategic strike on kind of the heart of our -- russia's power, the kremlin itself, with a demonstration that that even that location is not safe. so it'unlikely an assassination more likely a demonstration of ability and cost. >> could we ask you about president zelenskyy in this interview with "the washington post" yesterday saying you just said that you do believe ukraine will be able to make territorial gains in the spring offensive. there were documents that were leaked online that the white house is disputing how authentic they are, but they seem to say that actually behind closed doors there is skepticism in the administration of what ukraine will be able to achieve when it comes to retaking land. what do you make of the fact that they hasn't spoke to zelenskyy about that leak? >> start with the premise that

our analysis has been consistently wrong in underestimating ukrainian power and overestimated russia power. half of that analysis is those leaked reports is inaccurate. it's just a fact. in terms of the kind of raw damage from these leaks, it's quite minimal. the bigger damage comes from the fact that we've continued to undermine our standing with these leaks. our other allies are going to be dubious about sharing information with us. this validates the fact that the ukrainians were reluctant to share information and intelligence with the u.s. throughout the war, especially early on. they started getting a level of confidence. president zelenskyy in particular has scar tissue. trump released a transcript that was embarrassing to zelenskyy. that is really not the way we are supposed to interact with allies and partners. the problem is there are different tiers of reps. it's not just ukraine. we wouldn't allow something like this to occur with russia or china, where there is a

potential leak damaging to the relationship. even though they are adversaries, we had probably talk to them. lesser powers don't get the same conversation. so zelenskyy's already skeptical. we need to do better about coordinating with allies. we need to treat them accordingly, especially now that ukraine has demonstrated as probably the most partner in that part of the world and, hopefully, we learn and be more thoughtful and not discount the caravans so much. >> zelenskyy said we did not have that information. it's definitely a bad story. thank you colonel alexander vindman. >> thank you. we are going to stay on top of that breaking news. we are waiting to hear comment from the united states, from ukraine on this allegation comi coming out of the kremlin claiming that ukrainians sent drones towards the kremlin in trying to assassinate president putin. we are gathering more details. also, vice president kamala harris is set to meet with top

for the first time there may be a complicating factor in upcoming elections. artificial intelligence could play a major role in the 2024 election. tech experts are warning it could change the landscape of campa campaigning blurring the lines between what's real and fake. a scary thought. donie, we are already seeing this used. president biden came out with his re-election ad and republicans responded with this dystopian image where it wasn't actually images that were real. they were a.i. images. >> we have been hearing from experts saying we are going to see the use of a.i. in this election campaign and it came out blazing last week with this ad which had all these images, including these kind of stark images of the streets of san francisco being shut down. it said because of the fentanyl crisis and military on the streets. we wanted to see what people thought of the ad, would they realize that these images are fake, and we spoke to some

people on the streets in washington, d.c. have a look. >> you might have seen this already, i want you to watch this. it's a political ad. >> closed the city of san francisco this morning citing the escalating crime in fentanyl crisis. >> did that happen in san francisco, would it get shut down? >> reporter: a reend ad from the republican national committee imagines a dystopian future f if president biden is re-elected. but all isn't as it seems. all the images in that ad were created using a.i., artificial intelligence. >> my goodness. >> wow. >> you can see that full piece on cnn.com. importantly, you hear there that gentleman asking, did that happen in san francisco? and when you put that in a person's mind, some person who may not question it, wow, i can't believe this is happening in our country, that rnc had a ad disclaimer that said this is generated true a.i. >> how teen any?

>> very small, very faint. >> what is the question when there is not someone there to say it's not real? someone is like, yeah, it's real, or doesn't question it? >> exactly. this is an area that is nonregulated right now. of course, a lot comes under the first amendment. there is one state, texas has brought in a law that in the lead-up immediately to an election some restrictions on how deepfakes can be used against candidates but how that would be enforced remains to be seen. >> yeah, big concerns about the impact that could have. thank you. joining us is democrat senator maikel bennett of colorado. he introduced a bill to create a task force to look at u.s. policies on artificial intelligence. senator, thank you so much for being here. look, we had steve wozniak on yesterday, the co-founder of apple, who was warning against some of the dangers of a.i. and he said to us there needs to be regulation. what do you think realistically will be done in washington, if anything? >> i completely agree we need

regulation. we have not regulated at all the social media -- the massive social media platforms in this country. that has huge implications for antitrust, for example, but also for our kids' mental health. i used to be the superintendent of the denver public schools. we are having an epidemic of adolescent mental health issues in america today. i am not saying that's all social media's responsibility, but a huge piece of that is. and they have gone completely unregulated here. we need to have an agency in this country, like the fda, like the fcc, to negotiate on behalf of the american people, and that's why i introduced the first bill in congress to create a new agency that could do that. i read through it and you talk about also having a task force, real -- a real focus on this. can you talk about what you think should be done in your opinion? a lot of people have been talking something like a watermark. at least we know that, hey, that republican ad after biden

announced wasn't made by humans. it was made by a.i. >> yeah. well, poppy, one thing i know is that i will be dead before congress regulates this stuff in a way that's thoughtful and in a way that addresses the issues that we're facing, and that's why i think having an agency with experts in it, again like the food and drug administration. let me give you an example. our kids are being tortured by these algorithms that big social media companies design to sell us and to sell them advertising to addict our kids to these social media platforms. that is something that the american people never consented to. our kids never consented to it. and more over, i think the american people have never consented to the economic relationship they have with, you know, the likes of mark zuckerberg and other people. so -- and the kids, my old school district, they think their parents who are working don't have the time to negotiate with the big media companies and

social media companies and they can't rely on their student council to do it. unfortunately, that means a member of congress needs to get their act together and pass a bill to stand up and regulate this for the american just as we did for pharmaceuticals. >> i hear you on social media. i am incredibly concerned. on a.i., right, and this newest proposal by you, i was just going to ask what you think could help the most now. we are on the brink of something extraordinary, but also frightening. >> it just adds -- i think it just adds a new dimension here. now we've got the social media being driven by machine learning and generative a.i. and when you write to the big social media companies, this is the same folks that are pursuing this a.i., and they write back saying, you know, we've got it covered or maybe or we don't know, it raises questions. and i think, in the end, things like watermarks that you

suggested, understanding when a.i. is being used, making sure that in the federal government whe we are using a.i. we are consistent with our civil liberties, our civil rights and with our privacy rights. none of that stuff has been thought through. so i don't think we should panic. there is good and bad that's going to come from it this. i think we should have a thoughtful approach, apapproach that's different than the way we have managed the social media stuff inland this moment. >> i know you wrote only of those letters to senator -- the ceo of google, and the head of microsoft. they will be at the white house this week. we will see what comes of that. i want to turn because you are on the intelligence committee, i want to turn to this breaking news out of the kremlin. the kremlin press service said there were these groans and attempted in their words attempt on the president's life and a terrorist act, they are talking about ukraine in their words, which we should take with a grain of salt, attempting to

take president putin's life. do you think it's a pretext for what russia may want to do next? >> i had not seen it before i got here, but i think you are completely right to not take the kremlin or putin at their word. it has been an amazing thing to be on the u.s. intelligence committee during this time to see the fundamental mistakes that putin has made because he sits on top of a totalitarian organization that won't tell him the truth about the quality of his army or the way that the ukrainians would respond, and then to see at a time when we have worried whether democracy is fragile in the world, to see people in countries all over the world demand of their elected officials, do are mo, do more, do more to stand with the ukrainian people, support the brave ukrainian people that is a fight for democracy and a fight for freedom and today is no different than any other day in that fight as far as i'm

concerned. >> senator michael bennett, thank you very much for your time this morning. >> thanks, poppy. >> kaitlin. >> twe are following breaking news this morning. russia claiming it foiled a ukrainian attempt to assassinate president putin. they have not provided any evidence. that has hasn't been independently confirmed by cnn. we are tracking developments there. and snoop dogg making a big move with an nfl team.m. harry enten with a big nfl number. because your lives are forever enentwined... ♪ i'm falling in love with you over and over again ♪ love entwined. shop the mother's day le to get 30% off almost erything. only at kay. pomenopausal women with hr+ her2- metastatic breast caer are living longer with kisqali.

bidding war to buy the ottawa senators. >> so this opportunity came in order to -- for me to like be a part of the ownership of the ottawa senators. so i jumped on it. then the plan that we have is to also go and build a snoop hockey league outside of canada so kids in the urban communities can learn about hockey, play the sport and find ways to get into this great thing called hockey because right now the nba and the nhl is having some great playoff games and the kids need to know that there is an option to play hockey if you look like me. >> snoap is teaming up can nico sparks according to espn. the most diverse ownership group in nhl history. it go to for $1 billion. with more, cnn's senior data reporter harry enten. this would be historic if this

deal does come together? >> it would absolutely be historic. so this morning's number is one, the first. nico sparks looks to become the first black majority own of an nhl team. the ottawa senators. something small business wag getting at, hockey doesn't have a lot of blacks involved. black adults share of u.s. adults 12%. u.s. hockey fans about 7%. nhl players only about 4%, including those mixed race. the fact that hockey is not a very diverse game, perhaps an ownership group could lead it to be a more diverse game. >> what about black owners? >> yeah. so we mentioned them being -- nico sparks would be the first majority black owner of an nhl team. but the fact that he would be one of the first in any major sport. look at the black majority owners or governors as they are called in the nba, there is just one. there is just one.

that is michael jordan in the nba. in the mlb, zero. in the nfl, zero. this is just -- there is just not a lot of diversity in the ownership ranks. and this comes, of course -- >> that's why this is striking. >> exactly. look at this. the share of players who are black in the nba, it's 72%. in the nfl, it is 56%. major league baseball has a problem in terms of black players joining its ranks, right, the league of jackie robinson, the color barrier broken in 1947. there is a problem down to the player level with the mlb. but when you compare the ownerships to the players in the nba and nfl, you clearly see there is something going on there. it's not the players -- the players are not represented in the ownership ranks and they are not really represented in the fan ranks either. black share of all u.s. adults 12 texas rangers. basketball 21%, baseball 11. the ownership groups don't --

they are not just reflecting the fan base or the players. >> what's a sense of when, if snoop dogg and nico sparks ultimately come to buy this team, when is the sense of when that could happen? >> look, these fights can happen over weeks, they can happen over months. you have a competitive bid from ryan reynolds group as well. we will have to see what happens there. >> yeah. what do you want to do, not just buy the team, bring hockey to the united states for kids to get involved. that's how you change the numbers. >> thank you. always interesting. a look at the market. the futures here before we open less than an hour ahead of the opening bell in wall street the fed prepares to hike interest rates again. we are keeping a close close on. >> we are following breaking news, russia alleging that ukraine essentially tried to assassinate president putin. the kremlin has not provided evidence, we have not independently confirmed this. we are asking the white house and pentagon about this, though. stay with us, we have new developments coming in. or more. that's why farmers new car replacement pays to r replace it with a new one of thehe same make and model.
