>> the team's newest gloves story up on display will taylor swift be there so many questions. kate and >> sara are off. i'm rahel solomon here with john berman, and this is cnn news central >> well, it >> hasn't happened in nearly 150 years, but this morning, homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas has officially been impeached by the house of representatives. in a narrow 214 to 213 votes, largely along party lines. republicans made me york is only the second us cabinet secretary to ever be impeached. now, you might remember this was their second attempt to impeach mayorkas over his handling of the southern border. the first vote well, that failed in a stunning and embarrassing fashion just last week. now the gop led effort moves to the senate, where mayorkas will stand trial. let's go to cnn's eva mckend, who joins us from capitol hill

this morning. so evil walk us through. good morning. walk us through what happens next for mayorcas. will rahel in the immediate sense, he keeps doing his job. this has no material impact. this is a non-binding residence solution to give you a sense of how partisan this a fair was. congressman steve scalise who returned to capitol hill from receiving cancer treatment it was his vote that was unnecessary. vote for republicans to achieve this. they just eat this out by one vote, but not all republicans went along with this. you had congressman gallagher, buck and mcclintock, who essentially argued that policy dispute that it didn't amount to an impeachable offense that mayorcas didn't engage in things that you traditionally think of as impeachable offenses like public corruption or abuse thing, power. still republicans, they felt strongly enough about this to move forward with this effort. they've been talking about it a long time and they argue that

mayorcas is breaking the law. let's listen to the it's lawmakers >> the senate really want to take seriously the message that was said is that we're serious about securing the border and the secretaries fail to do his job >> you can try to put lipstick on this pig. it is still a pig, and this is a terrible impeachment at sets a terrible precedent so the senate led by democrats, they do have to take this up, but they are telegraphing that they have no appetite to do so. what they could do is dismiss these two articles of impeachment on a simple majority vote before for each side, even argues the case, rahel. >> all right, some more to watch that expected to happen later this month. eva mckend live for us at capitol hill. eva, thanks so much. obviously, john, some of the concerns to are just does this set a new precedent? does this lower the bar? does this continue to be used in a partisan way as critics claim those are the big questions this morning.

>> yeah, that is the big questions. of course, this is all just by one single vote in the house of representatives. in this morning that razor thin republican margin is getting even slimmer >> democratic. >> former >> congressman tom suozzi is now heading back to the house after defeating republican mazi pilip in new york special election he flipped the seat left vacant. one congress kicked out republican george santos. donald trump was quick to weigh in. he said, philip is a quote, foolish woman who could have won if she had endorsed him. well, this now cnn's miguel marquez, the prince of long island in glen cove's this morning what a night it was miguel incredible, know, nobody expect you. i covered this thing for the last two months. everybody expected a very close race. most people expected that turnout would be exceptionally low. it was higher than they thought the margin was. why did they thought she conceded earlier

than i thought he declared victory earlier. they thought this was an incredible played tough race. tom suozzi is a well known entity here on long island. she was an unknown, but a very, very attractive candidate. and but it got, it got dirty, got very, very nasty in the ads millions and millions of dollars spent on ads on both sides. suozzi ran as a centrist and talking to his supporters last night, this is how he put it in. why and how they want this all the attacks despite all the lies about tom suozzi and the squad about tom suozzi being the godfather of the migrant crisis about sanctuary suozzi despite the dirty tricks despite the

vaunted nash county republican machine we want to look tom >> suozzi is a longtime centrist. people know him as a centrist here. he ran as a centrist ran on quote, unquote republican issues on immigration, on crime, on taxes, all the stuff that republicans are hitting president biden on he didn't embrace biden she didn't embrace trump. it was a bit of an odd dance that happened in this, in this election. but at the end of the day, it was that, that desire for centrism and for the getting rid of all that partisan animus and anger that we have in the country right now that seemed to drive voters out despite a massive snowstorm it looks like turnout hit about 30, 32% or so far higher than people expected in this special back to you, which is good for a special election, the margin, as you say much

bigger than people were anticipating in this is a flip in anytime there's a flip of the house will then margin this thin. it's a big deal. miguel marquez. thank you very much. row all right, john, let's discuss this more, joining us now, are cnn political commentators, former lieutenant governor of georgia republican geoff duncan add republican strategist alice stewart. good to see you both. alice, let me start with you. so republicans waking up this morning with this when thinking this democratic, when thinking what? >> well, they're thinking that they should never have elected george santos and that district to begin with. but here we are. and look, this is a really a wake-up call for republicans in terms of the issues that we're hearing from voters that were important to them certainly an immigration with the massive influx of migrants into new york city and other big cities from the border. you need to be a candidate can really address that and suozzi did while he is a centrist he did advocate for border security, and that is an

issue that resonates with voters there. and the other question is the impact of biden and trump. both candidates in this race republicans and democrats really kept there cards close to the vest on this. neither one really embracing trump or biden. and of course now donald trump is saying that if the republican candidate fill up would have done that earlier, she would have one. i'm not certain if that's the case, but but the reality is this is a litmus test for republicans to realize we need to be strong on immigration, which is a big issue. for voters here, and need to make sure we have the right messaging on how to embrace the candidate at the top of the ticket as we head into november. >> and jeff dummy to that and you say if we republican stay on this pays were cruising for another bruising? in november. we are not learning the lessons. so between now and november, what are the lessons and what does the gop do differently from your perspective? >> well i. think the lesson to

be learned here is this is a great foreshadow of where this election is headed right between now and november. this is all about the suburbs up until this point, it feels like it's been about the fringes and it's been about the basis and both sides, but this is about the suburbs. and this was a good, a good litmus test for it. and if we're not focused on trying to convince folks donald trump is not the best direction for the republican party. we're going to step and repeat this from coast to coast, right? donald trump has been a boat anchor on election after election, after election. it feels good in the primary process, a lot like here in georgia with herschel walker, it felt good to nominate for some not me, but for some republicans to nominate herschel walker. and then he ran into the bus. all of reality that the suburbs aren't with somebody that's sad, extreme. donald trump is that boat anchor for us? and so hopefully this serves as a wake-up call what about for the democrats? i mean, is a when a when, i mean, is it too soon as some have said, to pop the champagne or are you looking at this in a bit of more of a nuanced way, which as you pointed out, i mean, suozzi had distanced himself from biden, so i mean, how much of a win is this for the democrats?

>> well, you know what you call someone who wins the race like this, 53 to 46%, you call them congressman, and a win as a win. and that's the end of the day. democrats picked up a big win and even more so rahel, because the razor thin majority that republicans have in the house right now and what democrats will do moving forward is there going to take this template as jeff said, this is how the foretelling of what's going to happen in november and use this template to campaign for many of these candidates running for reelection in november. and that could be a big win for democrats and again, with such a slim majority of suozzi had been in the house yesterday. we wouldn't have had this impeachment vote for mayorkas just just goes to show how close things are and i think democrats are going to use this, perhaps the wind at their sales. and use this as a template to nominate and try

and read he elect more democrats into the house >> it's, it, it's a great point about the very razor-thin majority getting now, even more razor thin jeff, let me let you have the last word here. there has not been a lot said about turnout. and if i remember correctly, new hampshire had stronger turnout than any we're expecting. we saw that again last night in new york as miguel marquez pointed out, i mean, moving forward, i mean, it seems like people at least from these examples are riled up and ready to vote yeah >> certainly. i mean, we're seeing turnouts in microcosms in these smaller races that are kind of off cycle, but one of the things i worry about as a republican that wants to win back the white house wants to beat back dangerous policies that joe biden, including the border and other issues he's had with foreign policy a conservative that's not, that's not angry, that's who i am. that's who i think tens of millions of republicans are. i worry that the protest vote, if this ends up being joe biden and donald trump, that folks protest vote is just not to

vote. and i worry that that ends up happening and we've got a short window here is republicans to correct this. would nikki haley it doesn't seem like we're catching on fast enough. but if donald trump's at the top of our ticket, i'm afraid we're going to suffer the same consequences for four more years. and that's joe biden continuing to lead the country all right, we'll leave it here. >> geoff duncan, alice stewart. good to see you both. thank you, john. >> all right. new this morning, ukraine says it's destroyed. a russian warship in the black sea, new video released by the ukrainian military shows a drone approaching the ship and then a large explosion it is the latest in a series of drone strikes against the russian navy. ukraine claims it has now disabled a third of russia's black sea fleet. cnn's melissa bell is with us. what are you learning about this attack? melissa? >> well, how remarkably effective it's been now what we're talking about here, john, are these ukrainian-made sea drones, the very ones that were involved in the sinking of another russian warship earlier this month, the ivanovich and

if you take a look at that map of the area of the black sea, where question or ukrainian forces rather have been concentrating many of their efforts with the land front lines. so static over the course of the last few months so difficult for them to make progress there, they've been shifting instead their focus to the black sea fleet with remarkable success, these sea drones that they've used, again, homemade, remarkable for their long-range ability, 800 kilometers, allowing them to get to these ships are unseen, undetected. these are not ships that are designed to withstand these sort of highly maneuverable sea drones. so an effective strategy, tactically. and if you look at that map, you can see why also beyond the symbolism of crimea and the strategic importance of taking out russian capabilities. it is also a part of the world that they hope will allow them simply to cut off russia's ability to continue funding of bringing men equipment into their frontlines. so it is now, as you say, a third of

russia's once formidable black sea fleet, there's essentially been disabled or destroyed, says kyiv. and of course, that john also has important consequences for ukraine's ability to get grain in and out of its ports. and of course, that is correct. official at a time when it's trying to keep its war effort going nearly two years after russia first invaded john. >> they've been able to export their products, which is a big, big boost to the ukrainian economy. melissa bell. thank you so much for being with us rahel or adawn coming up for us, donald trump will find himself in a familiar spot tomorrow in new york courtroom this time for his hush money case, but he is also expecting really critical decisions this weekend. his civil fraud trial at a mutiny immunity battle will break it all down. plus lloyd austin reporting for duty, new video of the defense secretary sorry, back at work after he was rushed to the hospital on sunday and it's valentine's day balloon says that love doesn't cause the thing wyhe, it may come to a

business again in new york civil fraud trial ruling is expected there on friday, a lot happening this week. let's get right to cnn's katelyn polantz, who is following it at all. kaitlan. i'll take your lea i mean, where to start where to begin were held. >> what i would look at coming up tomorrow and fridays, there's so many different cases and so much active they expected. but what is happening that we should really be paying attention to is the fallout of trump, the businessman, donald trump, as a defense ben did in the criminal case where he's accused of making these false business recordings because of the hush money payments to stormy daniels before the 2016 presidential election. that is the hearing that's taking place on thursday before the judge. there's gonna be some talk about when that case will go to trial and it could be the first paste were donald trump's sits for trial is a criminal defendant in march, if that date holds and then friday, that decision from judge engoron in new york related to civil fraud findings, the

penalties that donald trump and his business should have to face for these fraudulently inflated business records of his so that's the focus on trump, the businessman in court, but rahel there is so much else happening here. every piece of donald trump's most significant cases on the lawsuit side as well as all four of his criminal cases have check-ins this week, he's before the supreme court related to his federal judge january 6, criminal case waiting for that response from the special counsel's office, and we will watch to see how quickly the supreme court takes action if they send him on to trial in federal court related to the 2020 election, there are also some filings do from trump related to lawsuits where he's a defendant in the january 6 cases, do at the supreme court, this week also, there will be testimony very likely about the prosecution team in georgia in his criminal case there. and

finally, there's a lot of work being done in his mar-a-lago criminal documents case in florida, he was in court on monday in seating under seal and there's a lot that's going to be happening in the coming weeks. there as that to progresses toward trial. so a very serious moment for donald trump as a defendant, the wheels of justice, they're turning. and there are many, many situations where he's not only having to show up in court, but where the justice system is trying to hold him accountable, especially in these lawsuits and having him show up in court and face these judges >> all right. a very serious moment as you point out in a very busy moment, as well, kaitlan, we know you'll stay on top of all of those developments keep us posted. thanks so much. >> wherever this now is, nick akerman, former assistant us attorney for the southern district of new york. he was also an assistant watergate special prosecutor. >> look at >> there's so much going on. it's hard to keep track of, but the point want to make is this week there's real rulings coming down in real decisions being made in real court cases.

let's start with one. donald trump will go to tomorrow. we shorthanded as the hush money case is the criminal trial right here in new york, but it's really more than that. >> oh, it's much more than that. i mean, this is an extremely important prosecution. it's not just about donald trump and stormy daniel's. this is about donald trump in the 2016 election trying to hide and conceal from the public very important information that would have absolutely torpedoed his election chances. it came on the heels of that access hollywood tape and all of these allegations by other women this would have been the actual loot killer item that would have ended his campaign. and he obstructed that and it was a very organized scheme that involved the national enquirer, involved his own lawyer. and this is an important case. >> it very quickly, one more question about this case. what will we will learn? do you think tomorrow we're going to?

>> learn if it's actually going to trial on march 25th. this is a certain conviction as far as i'm concerned, to cooperating witnesses corroborated by a tape on which donald trump's voice appears, as well as a lot of other witnesses who are going to corroborate and support little pieces of that case. >> and nic happening almost simultaneously. but in the state of georgia, this case with fani willis, the of course, the da there. right. and questions about an improper relationship with the special so prosecutor trump was thought to maybe be going maybe not now, what do you watching here? he said it's a highly unusual. >> well, first of all, this is not highly unusual in the sense for the defense to make arguments of prosecutorial misconduct and for prosecutors to have to testify i did it all the time. i mean, this is not unusual. however, it was not in the context of kind of a relationship between another prosecutor or to prosecutors normally, these kinds of claims come up when there is some kind

of right of the defendant that's impinged upon where as evidenced is withheld or discovery isn't done properly. this is unusual. i think this judge really is just trying to the cover this situation. he's going to have a little hearing. i don't think it's going to amount to much and there's not going to be a real basis to do anything with the indictment in this case, but nick, is it just about infringing upon the rights? the client or is it also about the public interests here in an ethical system, if prosecutors are accused of misconduct, prosecutors, i mean, it creates a bit of a credibility issue for the whole system, does it not >> well, it dej, but even so with respect to prosecutorial misconduct it always has something to do with a right of the defendant that has been undermined in some way evidence is suppressed. certain items were not turned over to the defense. so at the bottom line is a grand jury brought this indictment. the judge is not

going to interfere with the grand jury process. he's not going to interfere with this case going forward. any kind of ethical issues normally are handled outside of the court if it's purely on ethical issues that don't undermine the trial itself. this would be handled by the bar association, the state bar association. i don't see this really going very far >> what are you expecting in terms of who we hear from, in terms of the witnesses. so there was a question about whether fani willis might have to testify and the judge essentially said they want to see who else testifies first, we are going to hear from nathan weights divorce attorney i'm curious what the bat owns of what an attorney can say is when there is still attorney-client privilege. >> well, if there's attorney-client privilege, the attorney can't say anything. the privilege belongs to the client and that's going to stop it right there. i think what the judge is trying to do is trying to sound out exactly what, if anything, that has beyond pure speculation, there there and give them a chance to put on this case. and then

he's going to rule on it. i mean, i think he's going to give him enough rope to hang themselves or to come forward with some kind of evidence that really shows that there is an issue with respect to the case. >> good. last two days we'll be televise this hearing in georgia. it will be fascinating to watch, to be short, nick akerman. thank you very much. thank you. >> more than million people gathering on the streets of kansas city to celebrate the super bowl champions will they also get to see america's love story firsthand? this valentine's day sunday >> laura coates examines the federal criminal charges against former president trump. is it going to be >> difficult to meet this burden of proof? how strong is the government's case? the whole story with anderson cooper, sunday at eight on cnn, he had to take our old gas heating that was a huge project. i was so overwhelmed. so i started coughing i think people off of angie to work

screeching there as though in the lobby of the emergency room as it fills up with smoke. austin police say that at least five others were now the price does not appear to be intentional. that's also not clear yet what caused caused the los angeles two men are under arrest after a string of what deputy say well, quote, random shootings that killed four people. >> this aspect. so 42 year-old man and a 21 year-old man had been charged with murder, attempted murder, and also conspiracy to commit murder after their 48 hour killing spree. police say that they are searching for possible third suspect as well this morning, defense secretary lloyd austin made his first appearance since being released from walter reed on tuesday afternoon. austin let a virtual meeting with ukraine's defense contact group and gave an update on his help after canceling his trip to brussels during his most recent or due to his most recent hospitalization >> i plan to be in-person with you today in brussels, but i had to return to the hospital for nonsurgical procedures. >> i'm in

>> good condition and my cancer prognosis remains excellent. now i'm really grateful for all well wishes austin is working remotely today, but is expected to return to the pentagon later this week, john, right >> shameful, dangerous, and un-american. that is what president biden called dropped donald trump's comments, encouraging russia to do whatever it wants to nato countries not spending enough on defense. but this now is mark esper, cnn global affairs analyst and former defense secretary under donald trump. sticker. welcome to cnn news central. >> thanks john, good >> to be with you all with poppy. >> just a few >> hours ago and she asked you if you agreed with president biden's comments that what donald trump said was un-american and you're answer was probably why probably un-american? well, i said probably yes. >> well, look, americans don't like to see their friends and allies thrown under the bus. and that's basically what was, what was done when trump made those remarks, he invited russia to attack those countries that weren't living up to their commitments. >> so you see it as a green

light? for him to do what >> well, i see it as a green light for putin to attack another nato ally, another neighbor, neighboring country. now, i think that's unlikely, but nonetheless, it sends all the wrong messages, not just a vladmir putin, but there's usually paying in china who is looking aggressively at taiwan. plus it sends a signal to all of our allies around the world, not just in europe but japan, korea, the philippines, and others who face aggressive actions by autocratic. we've heard from >> all kinds of republican members of congress, including right here yesterday who say, oh, that's just what trump says out loud when he campaigns. they say they don't necessarily take him at his war. do you? >> words matter? first of all, but secondly, yes, i do because i've been in those rooms with him where he's expressed a disdain for germany. he doesn't understand the importance of the alliance and how it's critical to our security as well. and one, to pull troops out of europe. so look, i take i take him at his word and i think it's realistic that he gets back in office when the first thing he'll do is cut off assistance to ukraine if it is already cut off, and then began trying to

withdraw troops and ultimately, which draw from nato, withdraw from nato if they don't live up to their obligations and look somewhat argue. and i think it's a fair statement to say that's just the cover that's just an excuse. he just doesn't like nato and he wants to pull the united states out. >> is that what you believe? >> i think it's probably fair to say that, yes. >> as for ukraine the senate passed a 90 aid package and includes $60 billion for ukraine house speaker mike johnson, who by the way, we're going to hear from i believe in just a few minutes, he's going to give a statement. we don't believe he's going to put that bill on the house floor all which means no aid for ukraine, at least not now what happens to ukraine if it doesn't get aid? >> well, unless of course the democrats i think can file a petition to discharge that's the way to do that. but look, there is aid, military assistance in the pipeline. most military assistance comes to united states. most financial assistance comes from our european partners. but at some point in time, probably months that runs out we know right now the ukrainians on the battlefield are rationing ammunition in the fights active fights against the russians in

donbass and elsewhere. so look, i think at some point they run out of steam at at the same point in time, the running out of manpower. and it's a tough situation now, the counterargument is that while putin will continue to press, he's going to look strategically what happens in the american election in november of 2024. and that in some ways will dictate his operational plans on the battlefield, walk us through that. what do you mean? >> well, if he sees donald trump coming to office, he may say he's going to take, he might take his own type of strategic pause and see if the united states will completely cut off ukraine and maybe make some moves to withdraw forces from nato. he, that is in his favor right now, time is increasingly in putin's favor. >> what happens if donald trump wins? what do you think happens to the us commitment to ukraine? >> well, i think it ends. i mean, donald trump has been very clear that he says he would end the conflict in 24 hours. the only person that can end that conflict in 24 hours as vladimir putin, by stepping back out of ukraine. but i think it will fail. he'll cut off. he, donald trump will cut off assistance. and eventually i think are other european

allies will falter as well. it's only tomorrow bill senator from alabama said, i think it was just yesterday or the day before. >> he basically >> blame the united states for russia's invasion of ukraine. he said it was because the united states pushed nato to expand further east that vladimir putin basically had to invade ukraine. what do you say to what seems to be this group? boeing sentiment to, to almost blame the victims. >> well, look the european countries, particularly the baltic states, the nordic, nordic states, and others, have centuries of history with the russians invading them. and so i think we all knew that after the end of the cold war, they were going to join nato. we made very clear that we were going to open nato's doors for them as a security umbrella. it's important to note that we never took aggressive action against the soviet union or against russia after the soviet union collapse. so look, i think that's a straw man. i mean, even last year when we admitted finland to the nato, putin said, it doesn't matter as long as you don't put troops there. i just think that's a straw man. the fact is potencies. much of this

territory, like ukraine, as part of historic russia, part of the russian empire, that he wants to rebuild. >> ms secretary mark esper great to have you here. thanks so much for being thank you. john rahel. >> all right, john, still ahead for us. if you are planning to go out tonight for valentine's day and if he were planning on getting a ride share while you may want a backup plan, will explain >> we're here to get your side of the store. a fares >> bribery, prostitution. >> why do we keep bending up >> you can't write this stuff. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper, back-to-back premieres sunday at nine on cnn. >> once retired, laerke is decided, i will never again work for another man or woman. i abandoned my corporate phone plan and i'll get a new plan with schumer's cellular for up to half the cost, less cobra. when freedom calls, we're here to answer important health care announcement. if people tell you your tv is too loud, or if

of an airport. they are not going to be picking you up or dropping you off. and this is in part because rideshare workers believe that they are making poverty wages for working 80 hours a week. they are often susceptible to carjackings, to violin crimes. and they say that as they're taking home less and less pay, the companies like lyft and uber are making more and more profits. we reached out to some of the companies, lyft saying that they're constantly working on ways to improve driver experiences doordash says that they're always listening to their dashers and looking for ways to prove the platform. and then uber eats saying that we tried to engage with our couriers to look at how to improve the experience. but obviously this has been something that's been going on for awhile. this is not just a valentine's day movement, but the problem is rideshare. drivers are not union so they really have to mobilize on their own. this is one way that they believe they can get the attention of americans who are both using the rideshare apps

and ordering delivery just to make the point and basically say that we don't feel like we are being treated fairly. >> yeah, certainly make a point on the day that demand is really high when asked to talk to me a bit about just in terms of inflation and the inflationary impact you feel it a lot of places, but maybe people will feel it especially today. how was that changing? how people date? >> yeah. so the time old question, should we make dinner at home or should we go out to eat? i mean, this is what people decide to do on valentine's is there if they're spending time with loved ones? but these numbers may give you a sense of what you should do. so, if you're going to be cooking at home, prices for food up 1.3% in the last year, excuse me, 1.2% of the last year. compare that to if you want to go out to eat prices up i've 0.1%. so that is some measurable savings. a lot of this is because of food prices, but also because wages have increased in restaurants, have to pay their workers more. if you do decide you don't want to stay home and you want to go out to eat. here's some menu items that might save you a

little bit of money get the ham, get the seafood, get the eggs, not gather him honey these are the things separately on the menu. you may what to order. >> things >> that are more expensive on the menu, tomatoes, frozen juices. so skip the strawberry daiquiri and citrus oranges. so many of your deciding between your, the cauchy to pep bag get that because eggs are a little bit cheaper, but, you know, skip the pina kiloton and the strawberry daiquiri. when you go wisely, this valentine's day, because whoever said love don't cost a thing, wasn't living in, in the inflationary period of 2020, 4.20, 23 so thank you. thank you. >> thank you so much >> all right. republican house speaker mike johnson, expected to speak on capitol hill momentarily expected to tout the impeachment of homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas bode. well, he addressed the now slimmer majority house republicans have
