investigation is done. poppy? erica? >> nick, thank you for the reporting and for sitting with him. remarkable to hear from an 11-year-old. >> very mature. clearly. "cnn this morning" continues right now. >> late signs of progress but also the criticism. house speaker kevin mccarthy is facing. >> he lost some trust in how this event happened.

>> he is accused much killing 11 people in pittsburgh. >> all jews need to die is what he said. jews are killing our kids. >> the rise of anti-semitism, the third highest incidents tracked last year. >> the ukrainian capital is bracing for more drone strikes after the kremlin blames ukraine for a drone attack on moscow. >> this is putting pressure on him and he's trying to control the narrative. >> showing ability to attack behind enemy lines in advance of this highly anticipated ukrainian counter offensive. >> china will have a permanent human presence in space even longer than the iss. >> we cannot concede our leadership to china when it comes to space. we need you, nasa. >> the space race, china is it in and they're in it to stay. >> as can you see there, a lot going on this morning. we're so glad you're with us on cnn this morning. i'm joined by my friend erica hill. good morning. >> good morning, my friend.

>> lot to get to. let's get to this. the kremlin says the situation has become alarming. ukraine ramps up attacks on russian soil. that is what russia is saying. ukraine is denying that. ukraine is bracing for russian retaliation after a wave of drones hit moscow. putin is accusing them of trying to fright enrussians with attacks. they denied all involvement in any of this. our senior international correspondent is live on the ground in kyiv. it's been quiet in kyiv. >> yeah, it has been quiet in kyiv. the first quiet night really in several days. so that is certainly something where no matter what the reason is, the folks here on the ground will take it.

i think for a lot of people it was becoming quite unnerving to be woken up every single night with russian drones overhead and missile strikes during the morning hours or during the day. but you're right. it's unclear what is behind this. there is a lot of speculation on the kyiv side. that is one thing they're talking about that possibly the head drones might be brought in place. of course, those are the ones that the russians sent to the ukrainian capital. the southern command of the arms forces is saying for a long time, they're also not any sea launched attacks either by russian cruise missiles, for instance, so that is certainly some the ukrainians are also looking out for as well. one thing picked up on and a spokesman for the kremlin really, he said that the russians believe after the adrone attack that happened, he believes they, meaning whoever is behind that drone attack, are trying to provoke russia. they will consider the next

move. maybe that's also one of the reasons why the russians haven't shot back immediately but really very difficult to say. nevertheless, the calm is certainly something many people here are welcoming. >> and then the strikes in region that left four people injured. what should we take to that? some were pointing to that at the beginning of the ukrainian counter offensive? >> it could. it could very well be a sign of that or part of that. it was quite interesting. i was able to speak to an adviser to the presidential administration here. that is already part of the buildup to the counter offensive, if you will. some of it may be diversion. one thing that we're seeing in belgrade and other places is that russians certainly are under pressure on the border land and in their homeland as well. the russians started the invasion. it's a small civilian village

but close to belgrade, around important military hub for the russians. that is also something to keep in mind as well. then you had those algdz possible attacks on refineries and also in this region. a little further north in russia. the russians are saying they took down several drones as well. can you feel, as that possible counter offensive might be looming, the russians increasingly under pressure in their homeland as well. >> fred, thank you very much. and in a few minutes, we'll speak by the mayor of kyiv. >> a big day ahead on capitol hill as the white house, as the house prepares to vote on that debt limit deal. the bill narrowly cleared the first major hurdle last night. >> mr. norman? mr. norman, no. mr. roy? mr. roy, no. >> two hard line republicans on the powerful house rules committee tried but failed to block that bill from advancing to the floor.

now speaker kevin mccarthy is trying to rally as he faces a growing gop revolt and the looming threat now of being out offed. our cnn congressional correspondent is live on capitol hill. bottom line, does kevin mccarthy have the numbers he needs? lauren? >> republicans and democratic leadership, they're all confident they're going to be able to get the votes to pass this tonight. the first hurdle is going to be a vote on the house floor to pass the rule. traditionally ma jord will be responsible for getting that across the finish line. they may need support to get that over the finish line. we're told they expect democrats are going to jump in and make sure that that rule passes after that. there will be the final vote on this legislation in the house of representatives.

this is a rare moment on capitol hill when you have so many bills that pass along party lines. this is sort of that time where this deal was the deal negotiated by biden and mccarthy. and despite the fact that they may lose some members on the fringes of the party, they feel competent that they'll have the votes they need tonight to pass this out of the house. after that, it goes to the u.s. senate where eventually we expect that the votes will be there as well. the big question is how quickly the senate is going to be able to move. i asked republican whip yesterday if the votes were going to be there. he said yes. he does believe they're going to be at least nine republicans. >> this morning ron desantis beginning day two in iowa for the launch of his presidential campaign. a kickoff swrhe vent, he touteds

record in florida. he didn't never mention donald trump by name. we have more in iowa. this is the beginning of distinguishing himself from his former -- can i say former ally, president trump, now rival? >> i think that's -- yeah. very accurate depiction of the situation, poppy. it's now on governor desantis and his team to create this contrast between himself and the former president. >> he had plenty to say. >> ron desantis, kicking off his white house bid on tuesday. >> it's great for me to report

that our great american come back starts by sending joe biden back to his basement in delaware. >> making his first campaign stop in iowa. a state set to give an early glimpse into whether republican primary voters can move on from former donald trump. >> if you don't win, there is no substitute for victory. >> the governor did not mention the former president by name in his kickoff address. >> at the end of the day, leadership is not about entertainment. it's not building a brand. it's not about virtue signalling. it is about results. >> but as the trump campaign steps up its attacks on the florida governor, desantis made clear his rebuttals to those criticisms while taking questions from the press after his speech. >> he used to say how great florida was.

his whole family moved to florida under my governorship. >> appearing that they could reject trump's attacks on his former ally in florida. >> now he's attacking me over some of these disagreements. but i think he is doing it in a way that the voters are going to side with me. >> haen taking indirect jabs at the former president himself. >> i don't need someone to give me a list to know what a conservative justice looks like. >> all while summing up where he thinks his real fight lies. >> i'm going to focus my fire on biden and i think he should do the same. he gives biden a free pass. i'm focusing on biden. >> the first official stop as a candidate, a smoother campaign launch than the glitch-filled twitter announcement for desantis last week. the governor offering familiar attacks against the biden economy. >> the biden administration is doing all it can to make it harder for the average family to make ends meet and to attain and maintain a middle class

lifestyle. >> the bill for the massive borrowing, spending and debt and record printing of money that, is falling on the american people. >> later today, we're going to see the governor all across the state of iowa. it's a state he said is very important to his presidential bid. and then we'll see him traveling to other early states including new hampshire and sout h carolina. >> a major ruling said that billionaire family behind purdue pharma from opioid-related lawsuits. what this could mean for the victims seeking settlements. you'll hear from one mother who lost her son to this epidemic.

welcome back to "cnn this morning". the debt limit deal struck by president biden and kevin mccarthy heads to the house floor for full vote after just barely making it out of committee last night. failure to pass this could mean a u.s. default. and the potential for a global financial catastrophe. but a number of republicans are still not onboard. not all democrats are onboard either. joining us now is congressman mike lawler, republican from new york. he sits on the foreign affairs and financial services committee. he's gone on the record he plans to vote yes for this bill. good morning, congressman. >> good morning. how are you? >> i'm fine. why you are -- why are you a question? >> i had three parameters, they must negotiate in good faith and we have to cut spending and we cannot default.

it's not an option going forward. the object sieve to get a bipartisan compromise which the speaker has secured. and it mooeets my object toifz bend the curve here. you think about this, poppy. when i was a freshman in college in 2006, our national debt was about $9 trillion. today it is almost $32 trillion. this is unsustainable for the long run. what we're doing sbis bending t curve and starting to put the american economy back on the right trajectory. the speaker negotiated a very good deal, given the fact that we only control one half of one-third of the government. the fact he was able to get a cut in the discretionary spending is below fiscal 2022 levels. that is a significant win and something that conservatives and republicans have fought for. in addition, we're getting

permitting reform which hasn't been done in over 40 years. the speaker got us a good package that sets us up through the appropriations process to really to work to constrain spending more. >> the second prong of the three things you wanted that you said you got, it doesn't square with what the congressional budget office says in terms of reduction in spending. the cbo last night, as you know, came out with their analysis. they say yes, but changing the work requirements on the cash assistance and snap increases

federal spending by $2.1 billion over ten years. >> if you loosk at the snaps an work requirements going forward, states were rolling over exemptions. they were allowed 12% and rolling it over. some were implementing 100 exemptions. they are now capped at 8% going forward. so this is going to be significant savings over the long term. >> but that is -- when it comes to snap. >> but that's not what the nonpartisan cbo says. because the increase in benefits for homeless and veterans basibasic undoes the savings you got elsewhere. >> i disagree with the analysis by the cbo on this. >> why? >> because it is just not accurate when you look at the fact that we're changing the --

what the states are allowed to do. they're now capped at 8%. some states were giving 100% exemptions on work requirements. so, this is a significant change and significant savings over the long haul on snap. the object sieve to get people back working. and i think, you know -- >> when these analysis are done by cbo, they look at it in a snapshot. okay? they're not looking at things that will happen tomorrow, that will happen the next day. they're not looking at the potential growth in the economy. look at what we're doing with permitting reform and this reform. this is going to significantly shorten the lifespan of a project from potentially 11 years down to two years. that will will boost the economy tremendously and give us more revenues and more potential. i think tend of the day, when all is said and done here, poby,

we need to recognize that this is changing the trajectory in washington. that would put together a budget that would have spent significantly more than the top line number that was just negotiated. >> this is a hope and a lot of assumption on what the bill will do. what i'm telling viewers and you is that the congressional budget office, by the way, set up by congress to do exactly this, to oversee the budget process, it's nonpartisan. what they're saying is, no, in fact, this increases spending when it comes to tanif and snap. i'm not just pointing to the cbo. listen to nancy mace, your fellow republican in the house. here's how she sees it. >> i don't think it's an honest display of the bill. it doesn't cut spending. it does very little for the

deficit. and really, it's been this way for two years. >> is it not? >> respectfully, again, i just disagree with my colleague there. she's entitled to her opinion. this reduces the deficit by $1.5 trillion according to cbo's own scoring. it caps spending at 1%. that never happened. at the end of the day, look, is it a perfect deal? no. we have a divided government. i think people need to get a dose of reality. you know this idea that you're going to get everything you want out of life, welcome to government. welcome to adult hood. you have to negotiate. this is a negotiation. it was a hard fought negotiation. remember, the president and chuck schumer had a plan that would not allow for any of this and would just be a clean debt ceiling. they thought house republicans would not be able to pass a bill.

we did. they lost on their bet. and so now we're in a situation where spending will be coming down. and tend of the day, this is about moving our economy. >> you're leaving out the latter part of the analysis. they say the increase in benefits to veterans and homeless will increase by $2.1 billion. but here's how upset other members of your party are. listen to mike lee. >> there's not a lot of give here. thfr is a quid pro quo with any negotiation between the republicans and democrats should be there. there is a lot of quid and not much quo and we got kind of str screwed here. >> i know you're shaking your head. they're not happy with kevin mccarthy at all. i wonder, some saying they have zero confidence in him.

>> a segment of our party are folks that would have never vote fo ed for a debt ceiling increase no matter what the amount was. i don't accept the premise of their critique. at the end of the day, the speaker has put the conference in a good position. we gave him the ability to have a seat at the table and negotiate. and, again, chuck shumer is the senate majority leader. joe biden is the president of the united states. and if my colleagues want a better deal, we should have run better candidates in the competitive swing states and seats. at the end of the day, kevin mccarthy is not in jeopardy. they've been severely underestimated by democrats and by the press over and over and

over again. and he's been able to move legislation through the house. he'll get a debt ceiling deal passed today. and he will continue on as speaker of the house. >> you became very well known around the world for flipping your seat and defeating shawn patrick maloney, the then chair of the dccc to get your seat in a district that biden won in 2020 by 60%. it's interesting the publication roll call is naming you the number five most vulnerable member of congress calling you a top target for democrats as you know there are democrats in your district already running ads against you. how is that factoring into your decision making? >> not at all. i have 30,000 financial service sector employees that live in my district. default is never an option. to me, as i said, the cost of living, at fordability factor, that's why i ran for office to begin with. we need to bend the curve here

in washington. that's what we're doing. and i remind you, you know, president biden came to my district a few weeks ago and, you know, we had a very good conversation. i told him we need to negotiate with the speaker. we need to cut spending. the president said i'm somebody you can work with. the ads, you know, that are being run by the democrats obviously don't add up with where the president stands. >> thank you. come back soon. >> thanks a lot. >> police making two arrests in connection with that mass shooting at a boardwalk in hollywood, florida. we have details on the suspects. also, president zelenskyy setting a date for his long-awaited counter offensive on the heels of a deadly raid in the capital of kyiv. we'll speak with the mayor of kyiv next about what he's doing to protect his city. buy one footlong, get one 50% off in the sububway app today. now that's a deal worth celebrating. man, what are you u doing?!

this morning, ukraine is bracing for retaliation from russia of it the kremlin claimed ukraine is responsible for

drones enlueashed against moss moscow. at least one person was killed. here's new video just into cnn. you can see here debris falling from the sky nearly hitting a bus. joining us now is the mayor of kyiv, vitali klitschko. good to you have with us, mr. mayor. we've been speaking with our correspondent. i know you know fred as well. he is saying it was a quiet night in kyiv. the first in several nights. the kremlin spokesperson said that, look, they're now trying, these drone attacks are trying to provoke russia. ukraine denied vost. there is reassessment happening on russia's part. are you concerned about what that could mean for your city? >> i'm concerned because last week it was terrible week. the last four days, every day russian send rockets, missiles to our hometown.

and two people died. and almost 20 people injured. and a couple buildings, apartment buildings were destroyed. and people spent many, many hours in shelters in safety place. and right now, actually, people nervous. but thank you. you know, it was -- the attack was not successful for russia. because we should almost everyone -- because of the drone, some part of rockets fall down and destroy the buildings. >> you talk about people being nervous in kyiv. just give us a sense of what is it like on a day-to-day basis for people more than a year now into russia's invasion of

ukraine. >> it's difficult to explain. yes, of course, my opinion is russian sending missiles to our hometown. they try to bring the press to the people. people have to be nervous. the people have to take this into consideration to leave the city as refugees to spend the time. much more safer place outside of the country. russians need ukrainians, resolve ukrainians. it's no explanation is the reason. but instead, people very angry. very angry and ready to stay, ready to defend our homeland. >> they want to stay. they want to defend the homeland. have there been any talks given the recent increase in attacks that you just mentioned about potential evacuations? >> no. it's talking about operations and thank you for the support as

the missile systems and what we receive from the united states from our partners. better systems actually work well. and should help us. also, the russians super rockets, putin present super weapon. nobody can shoot down the rockets. but reality is different. >> president zelenskyy has said there is a date set now for the counter offensive. we heard so much about it. what you are anticipating from that counter offensive? >> yes. we have much better protect and much more stronger than the capital than a year ago. yes, of course, it's very

important. but weapons play a very important role. that's why thank you so much for the defensive weapons. critical. it is important for us and we expect the next couple of weeks offensive from our forces. everybody expect that. the more information i can give you because it's not my part or responsibility is a question to president zelenskyy or the general. >> we see these other attacks happening, even attacks we learned about overnight in belgrade, what is the message that sends to your city? what does it say to the people in kyiv? >> can you repeat the question, please? sorry. >> with reports of tacks in the belgrade region, what is the message you think that sends to your city, to residence in kyiv? >> we receive it just bad

messages from russian federation. every day explain about worst case scenarios. they want to occupy ukraine. they may expect ukraine as dependent countries and see ukraine as part of russian federation. i tell everyone we see this as part of the european family and democratic war and what we're fighting for that. >> mayor vitali klitschko, appreciate the time for you joining us today. thank you. new this morning, tension between the united states and china escalating again. here's what we know. chinese fighter jet intercepted an american spy plane over the south china sea. after that, the military says china carried out an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver. those are the words of the pentagon, against an american plane conducting basically routine operations in international airspace.

the spokesperson for china's ministry of foreign affairs says the u.s. posed a serious danger to chinese national sovereignty and china will continue to take necessary measures to defend his economy. >> this is just into cnn. >> new this morning, new jersey governor chris christie will, of course, ran for president in 2016, he does plan to announce candidacy for the 2024 race. that is set to happen next tuesday according to sources familiar will his plans. christie has been outspoken against donald trump and set to make that announcement at a town hall in new hampshire. >> of course, a big deal given how close he was once to trump and worked on the tranigs, et cetera. >> absolutely. >> and what his lane is going to be. it's going to be really interesting. is he going to get into the culture wars of desantis? is he going to get into the not cultures war of hutchison or expected to announce for sununu?

>> if he's in that other lane, is there someone that can really make that a viable lane at this point? >> fascinating. >> lots to happen. meantime, former first lady rose lyn carter diagnosed with dementia. it's a condition you may be familiar with. perhaps someone in your family. sanjay gupta is going to join us to discuss how frniends and family can help when faced with this illness. >> also, watch this. >> wow. >> flying off the back of a tow truck. how it happened and how the driver survived. that's ahead.

rosalyn carter has been diagnosed with dementia. how many other families are touched by a diagnosis like these? a lot. maybe your family. hits so many people. joining us now is our chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta. good morning. >> good morning. >> 59 . >> 95 years old. how surprising or not surprising is this? >> yeah. she was known to be pretty healthy. i mean, we follow her, obviously area hen president carter for years. dg obviously, her and president carter. she was generally pretty healthy. it is a risk factor, age, for dementia. we know she has dementia. we don't know what type. if you look overall, once you get beyond 65, that's when the likelihood of being diagnosed goes up. it's not inevitable by any means. one in ten people over the age of 65 are ultimately diagnosed with alzheimer's type dementia,

for example. as you can see there, as you get older than that, 75 to 84, it's a higher percentage. the highest, 85 plus. she's 95 years old. it sounds like she was doing pretty well until at least -- i don't know how precipitous a decline this was. but age is the biggest risk factor overall, especially for alzheimer's dementia. there are other things as well, family history, race, if you had poor heart health which sounds like she did not, traumatic brain injury in the past, again, sounds like she did no the. >> how do you spot the signs. how can you tell if it is dementia or simply getting old eastern forgetful? >> this is the question, you know, i think we get more than any other. you know, are there just sort of

age-related changes that happen over time versus things that are more conclusively something that indicates dementia. it can be challenging. if you look at just typical age-related, trying to make a list of things that separate the two. alzheimer's dementia, forgetting the name of a family member, someone you no he well versus typical age-related changes, forgetting the name of an acquaintance. that's different. trouble finding the right word. that mighting somebody that is more typicalst but if you're having trouble naming a very familiar object, you get the idea here. the differences. the way we think about it in the medical world is that the point that it starts to interfere with your daily life, your ability to actually conduct your activities of daily living, that's when there's a concern that this could be actually dementia.

>> i think for anyone that has a family member suffering from dementia, you want to know how can you help? what should you do? what should you not do? right? are there any treatment that's are effective along the way? no cure, but what can with he do? >> yeah. one of the first things, i say this as someone who is a brain doc, you do want to be certain of the diagnosis. and it can be challenging. but there are many things that can mimic dementia as well. people who have hearing loss, for example. many times that is confused with the dementia diagnosis. it's no the that they're remembering things. it's that they didn't hear the things in the first place. it may sound obvious. you want to rule out other things first. you also, you know, want to make sure someone stays in familiar surroundings. and you can look at the benefit of medications. there have been a couple new

medication medications that have been approved. a decade we went without medications. but there are certain medication that's may be worsening symptoms as well. so thinking about adding certain medications, but also eliminating certain medications. i think in terms of the interactions that someone has with someone who has dementia, now that the diagnosis has been confirmed, they're doing everything you can to try to slow down the progression. these are simple things. i wrote about this in my book. it comes from the alzheimer's association. but you have to have patience. don't interrupt. try to ask yes or no questions more than anything else. and again, give visual cues, things that keep someone in familiar surroundings. as soon as the surroundings become less familiar, it's going to worsen the symptoms that someone may be experiencing. >> such great points and so helpful, i think, for so many people who are struggling with this. dr. sanjay gupta. thank you. >> thinking of rosalyn and former president carter and

♪ an historic ruling in the legal battle over the opioid crisis. a federal appeals court in new york ruling the statler family will be immune from lawsuits in exchange for a $6 billion settlement. the sackler's company introduced the opioid drug oxycontin in the 1990s and promoted it as non-addictive. >> less than 1% of patients taking opioids actually become addicted. >> the right of addiction amongst pain patients who are treated by doctors is much less than 1%. >> since 1999, more than 500,000

people died from an joid overdose in the united states according to the cdc. the $6 billion settlement goes to funding opioid prevention and treatment, $750 million of that settlement will be reserved for survivors and family members who lost loved ones to addiction. in a statement yesterday purdue pharma called it a victory and said the settlement is the best option to help those who need it the most, the most fair and expeditious way to resolve the litigation and the way to deliver billions of dollars in value to fund abatement efforts. the sacklers say they are pleased and described it critical to providing substantial resources for people and communities in need. joining us the mother of a victim who lost her son christopher at the age of 21 to this epidemic. she was in court with the sacklers for the first trial. also the attorney general of connecticut who opposed the

immunity deal. so i know that yesterday you were wrapping your head around this settlement, around this deal. how are you feeling this morning? >> i'm feeling basically received and pleased that it has gone through. of course, nothing is ideal in this sort of situation. but i think it is the best that we could have gotten. the alternative would have been thousands and thousands of lawsuits that could have spread, gone on for years and years. i just don't think that would have helped anything. i hate to sound like i am agreeing with the sacklers, but i do think it -- i am pleased it's happened. >> mr. attorney general, when it comes to you, you put out a statement calling the decision significant and imperfect.

you said you recognize you would push this as far as we could. what does this settlement mean for people in connecticut? what will it change in your state? >> first of all, there is no victory here. at the end of the day, no amount of money, no amount of justice will make this right for didi and her family. and christine gagnon and liz fitzgerald in connecticut, and their sons. at the end of the day, we pushed hard as we could this deal, the $6 billion is 40% more than the deal that i opposed and took to court and overturned until the second circuit reinstituted the $6 billion deal yesterday with its decision. and this $6 billion deal will fund treatment and prevention. it gets the sacklers out of the opioid business. it shuts down purdue pharma. it gafr families an opportunity to address the seclers and tell

them how it wrecked their lives and gets $750 million or more to families. and that's what's so important about this settlement in that it gets money directly to victims and survivors. >> as the attorney general just mentioned, you had the opportunity to address the sacklers in court. you told them about your son. you told them about what he was prescribed when he was a teenager, suffering from sports injuries, which so many parents can cree lrelate to and what tht ultimately did to him. do you feel that you were heard? >> not really. we were on a zoom call with them for probably three hours and i didn't see -- they didn't even blink their eyes, basically. i mean, they just sat there. i really don't know that they heard us. but it still felt good to have that time to address them. >> would to make a difference if there was a direct apology, if there was a direct acknowledgment? >> i don't think they have any

credibility, so i don't know that it would mean anything to me. i mean, they have been lying from the very beginning to the whole world about their wonder drug oxycontin. so i don't think i would believe that. >> in terms of, you know, you talked about what this does in terms of treatment, what will happen in the state of connecticut and how you were pushing for nor. ultimately, there is some criticism in terms of the funding here. according to forbes, and i want to get this correct, the sackler family is worth $11 billion in 2020. the book on the sacklers pointed out there is so much money that they can -- that the return they can your honor on that fortune would cover a large chunk of this penalty. so there is talk about how they could be richer at one point in time. how do you address that?

>> yeah, that's why we went so hard over the sacklers, because let's be clear. they tried to use the bankruptcy laws and now it appears have successfully used the bankruptcy laws to shield themselves. but the sacklers are not bankrupt. no sackler will have to sell a boat or a car or a home or a piece of art or jewelry, while people still continue to die here in connecticut and across the country. but since i become attorney general, not just this settlement of $6 billion but together we have put together settlements totaling $50 billion which will hurricane return hundreds of millions of dollars to connecticut and most of that money goes to funding treatment prevention and addiction science in connecticut and across the country. >> in terms of how that funding will be used, this part of the fight may be over for you, dede but your bat al actually continues in honor of your memory of your son. ensuring this doesn't happen to

other families? hrjs absolutely. i am an ambassador for a non-profit ground called shatter proof. gary mandell who started it also lost his son the same way. we spend a lot of time with passing legislation, helping the community, developing services for addiction treatment. so, yes, there is a lot to be done. and i do also want to add that even though the sacklers cannot -- are not civilly can't be held civilly liable, they can still be held criminally liable. i think they should be, you know. there is nothing stopping anybody from holding them criminally liable. i mean, they caused -- or they caused the death of over 500,000 people.

so it just -- i don't know why that isn't a next step. >> mr. attorney general, we are just about out of time, but do you see that happening in the future? >> look, i agree with dede. they should go to jail at the end of the day in connecticut, the attorney general doesn't have criminal authority. but we have said over and over again they should be held accountable and i totally agree with her. >> attorney general tong, didi yoder, thank you. appreciate it. >> "cnn this morning" continues right now. not one republican should vote for this deal. it is a bad deal. >> mccarthy has lost some trust in how this has been handle. >> it seems inescapable given what has occurred and the way he was the steward of republican unity and he blew it to smithereens. >> well, not everyone happy with this deal. let's see how the vote g
