prominently before us. clare duffy, thanks so much for helping us understand, sara. >> all right. are you like me and suspect that your phone is listening to you? well guess what? apple has agreed to pay $95 million to settle a class action lawsuit that claimed siri violated users privacy by recording people's conversations when they accidentally activated the virtual assistant. the suit also claimed those private recordings were sent to third parties. apple will pay up to $20 for each siri enabled device, such as iphones and apple watches. apple, though, denied all wrongdoing when it agreed to that settlement. the sky is actually falling, or it seemed like it in a remote village in kenya. a huge piece of red hot space junk fell out of the sky and crashed near the village. kenya space agency says they have now confirmed this massive metal ring. you see, there is a fragment of a space object weighing in at

just over 1,100 pounds. the agency is now working to find out exactly who it belongs to. a new hour of cnn news central starts right now. >> all right. breaking just moments ago, cnn hears from current house speaker mike johnson what he just said about his chances of keeping the job. we are standing by for a vote on that. what? he says the whip count is what others say it is. this morning, the fbi releases new images of the bourbon street attacker placing explosives in the french quarter and inches of ice more than a foot of snow. thunderstorms, tornadoes. why? millions of people across the united states need to be watching the weather now. kate is out. i'm john berman with sara sidner. this is cnn news

central. >> this just in. house speaker mike johnson just spoke with our lauren fox as the vote as to whether he remains speaker is about to get under way. here's what we know and what he knows or what he thinks he knows. johnson seems pretty optimistic, but he can only lose two votes, and one republican lawmaker has already said he's a hell no piling on the pressure. a brand new message from president-elect trump moments ago, saying a win for mike today will be a big win for the republican party. so trump still on his side. cnn's steve contorno is tracking trump's moves. but first, let's get straight to lauren fox, capitol hill. what did you hear from the current speaker? >> yeah, i just spoke with speaker mike johnson about what he thought his chances were today and whether or not he's feeling good going into this vote this afternoon. here's what he told me this morning. >> yes, confidence.

>> how many holdouts do you think there still are? >> would you be? i think i expect we can get it done on the first round working towards it. >> would you be open to making chip roy, the rules committee chairman? and what you can hear him saying, just as he's walking off camera there, is that he's not making any deals with anybody. and essentially he's saying what we have privately known to be the case, which is that mike johnson does not wants to avoid the situation that kevin mccarthy found himself in two years ago when he was trying to clinch the speaker's gavel. he went 15 rounds, and in that process, he signed away a lot of power, including empowering conservatives to try to oust him with just a single vote, something that ultimately led to his demise just a few months later. one thing we're hearing from a lot of conservatives is that a way to earn their vote could potentially be to make chip roy, a conservative from

the state of texas. the house rules committee chairman. but that's a really powerful position because you can essentially control what kinds of legislation comes to the floor of the house of representatives. and that is something that could potentially be problematic for johnson, because in the past, chip roy has not supported putting certain pieces of legislation like spending bills on the floor of the house, that has forced johnson to try to get democratic votes and do it under what is known as a suspension of the rules, which requires a two thirds majority, a much higher threshold. so conservatives pushing for chip roy to be the rules committee chairman. but very important there. the speaker of the house saying he's not cutting side deals right now with some of these conservative members. we'll see whether or not he has to do it later on. >> and there is a big problem because they have not mentioned who might be another choice for speaker. so far. johnson is the only name. all right. steve, what are you hearing from trump this morning?

>> sarah, just moments ago, donald trump continuing to show support for house speaker mike johnson to continue in that role, posting a message on truth social that said, quote, good luck today for speaker mike johnson, a fine man of great ability who is very close to having 100% support, a win for mike today will be a big win for the republican party, and yet another acknowledgment of our 129 year most consequential presidential election. a big affirmation indeed. maga. so those are trump's public words. and privately, we are also seeing donald trump show his support for mike johnson. he has been open to making phone calls, trying to get some of these potential republican holdouts to back johnson for another term as house speaker. and look, every single thing donald trump has done since he has taken office has been with the intention of hitting the ground running on january 20th. he has already

named his cabinet. he has his incoming staff largely in place. he has already even having his team write executive orders that he can sign on day one, and he really does not want a protracted speaker fight to delay in any way the possibility for him to really take off as soon as he is elected. the other problem with a potential change in the house is that an incoming speaker that would be different from mike johnson, it might have to be learning on the job. he would have to potentially have some training wheels. and donald trump wants to be very, very active in his first 100 days pushing through legislation, you know, getting a reconciliation bill, potentially through the house and senate. and so the idea that a new speaker will be coming in at this moment, which he views so vital to setting the tone for his next four years, doesn't appeal to him. so we are seeing him to be far more involved in this speaker fight than anyone in the past. and that is the reason why sarah, he and johnson are both talking to members of congress,

trying to sway them. >> he is still the president elect, and he plans to hit the ground running. thank you so much to you and lauren fox. appreciate it john. all right. >> with us now, leigh ann caldwell, an anchor for washington post live. and matt mowers, former trump administration official. i want to play. our lauren fox chasing down the current house speaker, mike johnson ago. i want to replay that moment so we can hear again what he said. let's listen. >> how are you feeling this morning? >> yep. confident. >> how many holdouts do you think there still are? >> would you be? i think i expect we can get it done on the first round. working towards it. >> would you be open to making chip roy choi, the rules committee chairman? >> all right. first thing i want to point out is the excellent camera work. there. our camera team and lauren fox, they're gliding down the stairs keeping out with the house speaker. not a glitch at all there. the second thing i want to point out, leanne, is the fact that he says he thinks he's going to get it done on

the first ballot today. do you think he's right? >> well, we're going to see. >> that's a question. mike johnson is obviously projecting confidence, but what people are saying behind the scenes don't necessarily bear that out. the fact that he had to spend all day yesterday making calls and meeting with members who are either undecided or have said that they are a no at this moment. on mike johnson is quite telling the fact that he's going to have to work this until the very moment is also quite telling. and the thing is, is that the majority is so slim, one of the slimmest majorities in congressional history, mike johnson, can lose one vote, and one person has already come out against him. and that is representative thomas massie of kentucky. and that's why mike johnson is working so hard to round up all these other votes. and chip roy is absolutely key here. but

he's not the only one. there are other hardline republicans who are saying that they want commitments from him. on spending bills to ensure that there is a reduction in spending, not an increase in spending. and so he has quite a tough task ahead of him. >> john, the other thing we heard there, matt, at the end, it was a little bit muffled was johnson said he's not making any side deals. a do you believe him? and b what kind of deals do you expect it will take to get him this job? >> yeah, i do believe him. one because look, mike johnson is one of the most honest people you'll ever meet. he's he's one of those rare politicians that actually kind of tells you what he's thinking, is truthful about it. and i think the other piece is that he learned the lessons that speaker mccarthy went through two years ago. the moment you start opening up the floodgates, where you're willing to do these one off deals with individual members to bring them on, everyone starts salivating. every member has an ask whether it's a

committee assignment, whether it's trying to, you know, maybe barter for a better office in a few years, whether it's a rules change. and so he's learned that lesson and recognizes that he has the strength of incumbency. he does have broadly goodwill with the conference as well. he's well liked. i think a lot of folks believe he's had a nearly impossible job the last year, and he's acquitted himself quite well and gotten some strong accomplishments, holding back against the biden administration and chuck schumer in the senate. and also not to mention, of course, the support of donald trump, who has immense goodwill and immense political capital that he is willing to spend on behalf of getting this done so that he can then have the election certified on monday, get sworn in on january 20th, and hit the ground running for his first 100 days. >> leanne, you intriguingly said that the confidence that johnson is projecting outwardly isn't what you are hearing or what people are saying behind the scenes. so what are people saying behind the scenes this morning? >> most people think that he's

not going to get there on the first ballot. now, if he doesn't get there on the first ballot, remember they vote again and they vote as many times as johnson is still in the race. and until there is a speaker elected, um, and so people think that potentially eventually he will get there. but how many ballots it takes is another question. now, you know, another thing that i'm hearing is that one of the things that johnson has really struggled with is, is, um, is meeting the demands of this hard, right faction on these spending bills. and this was th was escated again just last month when he came to a bipartisan agreement with democrats on a short term government spending bill. this is something that's going to persistently be more complicated for johnson. now. he was working with democrats, and that's part of what johnson's argument is. he's saying, look, moving forward for the next two years, we are

going to have a republican senate, a republican in the white house. and and it is going to be much easier to do what a republican conference wants. and so, you know, he's hoping that these hard line republicans buy into that and acknowledge the fact that he was dealing with a divided government before and moving forward, it's going to be easier. but donald trump's endorsement of mike johnson has swayed a lot of republicans. and the numbers could be much greater if johnson if trump had not come out in support of johnson on that point. >> matt, one thing you know very well, you know, donald trump really only likes winners, doesn't like it when people start to lose. so what happens if the first ballot doesn't go johnson's way? maybe the second ballot. how nervous do you think trump will get behind the scenes? >> i mean, look, i'll push back. i think i agree with speaker johnson. he's probably going to get done on this first ballot. and the reason is it's

pretty telling that you haven't seen a single other member come out in open opposition to him at this point. they likely would have done it. you know, i mean, there are a couple wild cards that are on that, you know, undecided, let's call them category right now. but i think they even recognize the fact that there's going to be limited acceptance from their colleagues and probably from their constituents if they try to play games today and delay what inevitably they want to see happen. most of these members are in strong republican districts that voted overwhelmingly for donald trump. they don't want to slow down the agenda one iota. and if they're actually seen as standing in the way of that progress, voters are going to hold them accountable. and, um, you know, to your point, i, you know, if it were to go to a second or third ballot and again, i don't think it will, um, you know, i think you're going to have to see what the actual numbers are, but i don't think you're going to see that today. uh, and certainly we saw that kevin mccarthy was able to piece it together eventually anyway. and the fact that there is really no strong, credible alternative at the moment either. >> all right. matt mowers,

leigh ann caldwell, thanks so much for being with us. happy new year to both of you. and of course, this will be playing out all morning long and into the afternoon. stay with cnn for our special live coverage. >> all right. ahead, the fbi now says new orleans attacker acted alone. just how serious is the threat from lone wolf attacks in the united states? we take a deeper look there, and we're learning more about the man who set off the explosion of a cybertruck outside trump international hotel in las vegas. what investigators have revealed about his military background and a possible motive. and will it be a winning weekend for wicked? we have a preview of the golden globes and who has the best chance of taking home that golden trophy? >> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball

player. >> kobe premieres january 25th on now's the time to go back in time and shine a light on the family journey that led to you. >> ancestry can help you piece together the past with billions of records, photos, and more. memberships are on sale now. >> i thought we had a plan for dad. he was set to go to the senior living community right by my house. then a friend suggested i talk to a place for mom. they really opened my eyes. my advisor listened and understood his needs and showed us options that were still nearby, but a better fit for dad. >> now he's in a warm, engaging community with a big group of friends. >> i know we made the better choice for free senior living advice. >> go to a place for mom.com. look out, cause here i come. >> have you always had trouble with your weight? >> same. discover the power of wegovy with wegovy. i lost 35 pounds and some

lost over 46 pounds. >> and i'm keeping the weight off. >> i'm reducing my risk. wegovy is the only weight management medicine proven to reduce risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack or stroke in adults with known heart disease and obesity. >> don't use wegovy with semaglutide or glp one medicines or in children under 12. don't take if you or your family had mtc men2 or if allergic to it. tell your provider if you plan to have surgery or a procedure, are breastfeeding, pregnant, or plan to be. stop taking and get medical help right away. if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or any of these allergic reactions. serious side effects may include pancreas inflammation and gallbladder problems. call your prescriber if you have any of these symptoms. wegovy may cause low blood sugar in people with diabetes, especially if you take medicines to treat diabetes. call your prescriber about vision changes. if you feel your heart racing while at rest, or if you have mental changes, depression or thoughts of suicide may occur. common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea,

constipation, stomach pain, flu or upset headache, feeling tired, dizzy or bloated, gas and heartburn. some side effects lead to dehydration, which may cause kidney problems with wegovy. >> i'm losing weight. >> i'm keeping it off and i'm lowering my cv risk. >> wegovy ask your prescriber about wegovy and are you ready for this? >> are you ready for this? are you ready for this new alka-seltzer plus cold or flu fizzy chews? >> shou chew fizz. feel better fast. >> no water needed. new alka-seltzer plus fizzy juice. >> when the temperature drops and winter settles in, you've got two choices. close your eyes and think warm thoughts. or open your eyes. grab your gear and get out here. this winter, there's only one choice worth making, and there's only one vehicle lineup that embraces everything the cold has to offer. the official

adjustable mattress sets. >> so unforgettable. more than incredible. are you not entertained? >> are you ready? guarantee we. unforgettable. it's pretty to the boys. >> watch on tnt, trutv and stream b r sports on max america. >> we're glad to have you all back. >> all right, major new questions about the security preparations in new orleans prior to the terror attack on new year's day that left 14 people dead, a 2019 report warned there was a need for an immediate improvement in security barriers, flagging the potential for terrorism was, quote, highly possible. authorities are also trying to answer how several warning signs were missed. footage obtained exclusively by cnn from a home camera captured the suspect hours before the attack, loading several items into his truck. a remote detonator was later found in that truck, as well as multiple coolers loaded with explosive devices in two other locations in the french quarter. let's get right to cnn's ryan young,

live on the scene for the latest on this investigation. good morning. ryan. >> yeah. good morning john. look, we're right above one of those sites where one of those coolers were found. you got to imagine all the people who are walking by those coolers as the night went on. but this is really the focus now. the french quarter, bourbon street, them improving security down the way. we've seen massive amounts of officers even in the early morning hours, still watching the street. when i talked to the police chief, she told me there would be a real focus not only on making immediate improvements, but making long term improvements and investments to make sure something like this never happens again. you know, the super bowl is coming in the next few weeks. take a listen to the police chief as we talked about how they're going to improve the barricades and the way people move up and down the street. >> so what we're doing right now is we're hardening the target, and that's the term we use. we're bringing in heavier equipment, and we are also putting what are called archers on the sidewalk, if you can see

that. and that will give protection for anyone who would again, try to access via the sidewalk that more lives. i know were spared and say it's not a takeaway at all from those who lost life, but our officers were the ones who stopped this terrorist. i'm so proud of them. >> john. a few things here. the two officers who were shot and involved in this, they are now home from what i've been told by the police chief. of course, there's video surveillance all up and down here. and we know over the next few hours we could see those heavy trucks probably move back into place to make sure this road is open and ready for business. and we've seen a lot of people getting back to the normal day to day. but there are memorials that are popping up and down the street. there's a lot of people in this community who really love the french quarter. understand what bourbon street means to the country and are devastated by what

happened here. john clearly changes need to be made. >> and soon, with the super bowl just around the corner. ryan young, thanks so much for that report, sarah. >> all right. joining me now to discuss michael allen. he is managing director of beacon global strategies and was special assistant to president george w. bush on the national security council. just to you, what kind of information did the fbi learn that would make them change their stance from saying the new orleans terrorists did not act alone, to now saying he indeed did act alone? >> sarah, i think what this indicates is that the fbi is now has access to the suspect's phone. i think they've been interrogating it for some time. they've made a judgment based on the types of communications, probably the types of internet searches that this individual was a lone wolf. completely. if there had been any other contact, even if it's through certain secure apps, i think the fbi would be

able to figure it out. but we'll have to hear the confirmation of this lately. but to me, his digital background and where he's going on his phone will be key to being able to figure out who he might be in touch with. >> when you learn about the new details in the case, we're seeing pictures right now of surveillance video shots from that where he had some coolers he was putting in a couple of different places in the french quarter that turned out to be filled with explosives. and we're also seeing him in exclusive cnn video from a ring camera, where he is putting stuff in the back of his, his van or his truck as he is about to make his way to new orleans. and we now know that there were some remnants of things that could create explosives in a house linked to him. what do you see as some of these missed warning signs? because there are also videos of him out there as well. >> to me, it's going to come down to a very tricky issue as

it pertains to civil liberties. and that is should we have known, based on his social media activity, that he was a threat? it's a sensitive area. how much the fbi or the department of homeland security can rely on posts to social media, youtube and the rest? so i think if it turns out that there are tremendous indicators that he probably did, online questions will arise, just like they did around january 6th. by the way, of whether our authorities are checking out what's going on on social media prior to an event. to me, that's the key. and we'll have to figure out, because otherwise, if he's just imbibing propaganda online, not communicating with anyone overseas, and not trying to reach out to others, it's so hard to be able to intercept those communications. >> yeah, that makes a good point. we know his family has spoken to our ed lavandera, saying that they had no idea

that he had gone down this rabbit hole. um, so, you know, we'll have to see what the fbi finds as they look through all of his electronics. i do want to ask you what you think needs to be done. now, when it comes to securing areas and not just new orleans, but we have seen these car ramming attacks across the world and more recently in germany. what needs to be done for large gatherings? new orleans is about to see the super bowl. that is going to be a huge event, but there are other gatherings around the country where this could be a real danger. >> sarah, you're right, the inauguration is coming up soon. i think it's a reminder of good old fashioned homeland security work. we do need exquisite intelligence. we do need to see what's going on online. but at the end of the day, we need to be able to harden some of the softer targets around a gigantic event. so not just the superdome, not just the u.s. capitol, but the venues nearby

to ensure that we can't have a common, everyday terrorist lone wolf weaponizing his vehicle to attack innocent bystanders. so it's a reminder that you need defense in depth. you need a full range of everything from intelligence to physical barriers to protect the people. >> michael allen, i appreciate your time this morning. thanks for getting up for us, john. >> all right. this morning, forecasters are warning millions of americans could soon face the most significant cold weather storms we have seen in years. and for the first time ever, the department of transportation has fined an airline $2 million over chronic delays. can't fool myself. >> it was the most exciting time in the world. >> his life has truly joyful moments and some really difficult moments. >> you only come across an artist like luther vandross once in a lifetime. >> luther. never too much. >> tomorrow at nine on

>> kobe believed in himself at the youngest possible age. >> it's one of the most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just a basketball player. >> kobe premieres january 25th on cnn. >> brace yourself for another arctic chill. a major winter storm is on the way and expected to bring snow, ice and dangerous conditions for millions of people over the next few days. and there's more thunderstorms, tornadoes, crippling ice storm. all of that might be in the mix across the country. meteorologist elisa raffa is tracking the latest forecast. this morning. alicia, you were showing us just how large this could be. straight across the united states. what are you seeing? >> yeah, and multiple hazards we're not talking about just one type of weather. we've got snow, ice, and even the risk for tornadoes we're looking at difficult to nearly impossible travel. heavy blowing snow, significant ice. the possibility of power outages

all across the central plains heading into parts of the midwest. you see all of that red from kansas city to saint louis. that's where we're looking at some major impacts, likely as we go into sunday. and then that's going to stretch east as we get towards monday. right now, the winter storm watches are in place for parts of kansas, missouri, illinois, indiana and kentucky, and this stretches almost 900 miles. and again, as we go through time, this will tack on for places towards the mid-atlantic. the storm really starts to develop on saturday, but really pumps in the moisture and gains steam by sunday. we've got cold air coming in from the north that's squeezing in all of this moisture from the south. so that's where we're going to get the possibility of some heavy snow possible across these places, and some significant ice. but you've got rain and the storms along to the south, and then you can see by monday it spreads east. we could be looking at some snow in d.c. on monday as this spreads towards the mid-atlantic. the ice could be significant. just a little bit of ice could do a lot of havoc when it comes to travel conditions. we could be looking at a quarter to a half an inch,

which would also cause problems with trees and power lines and power outages. there's the heavy snow a little bit farther to the north, where that cold air is deeper. could be looking at 6 to 12in of snow. then the storm threat, where we have some damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes possible sa'ar the thing is, if you're traveling and you're going from one coast to the other, or you're going just into the midwest, like all of it, you need to check with your airline and make sure you're watching the weather. >> if you plan to drive elisa raffa, that looks like a lot going on in the weather. appreciate it john. >> well, we've got new reporting on the decorated green beret behind the cybertruck explosion outside the trump hotel in las vegas. secretary of homeland security alejandro mayorkas tells cnn there is no evidence linking that driver to the new orleans attacker, despite some similarities. cnn chief law enforcement and intelligence analyst john miller is here this morning. what a difference a day makes this morning. a lot more information coming to light about what happened in las vegas. >> and still a lot of questions. but as the picture comes into a little bit of a

richer focus, what they're not finding, they're not finding communications between the las vegas suspect, the former, the active duty special forces operator, and any terrorist groups. no propaganda, no communications or connections. in his digital trail between either him or the new orleans suspect. what they are finding is they peel back the layers, look at electronics, do interviews with family and coworkers in the army are a series of indicators, indicators of depression, indicators of personal issues, family issues, at home, issues about deployments, issues about ptsd. and when you think of what the average special forces operator goes through sees, and then you add that into a 19 year army career that went through the entire global war

on terrorism. and those deployments, um, drone attacks, civilian casualties and so on. uh, that wouldn't mean that the problems that they're seeing, there are problems that a lot of special operators go through. what does that mean to this attack and motive? that is what they're still trying to figure out. was it an attack or was it built to be an extremely conspicuous suicide? maybe at a trump location to send a message about those problems? what they're looking for is where is that message? is there a communiqué, is there a note? and so on. >> and as of now, we don't know if there is any message like that in terms of what happened in new orleans. this guy had that i.s.i.s. flag, you know, ties at least from his end to i.s.i.s.. what more are you learning about that? >> he's a much easier calculus. he is, as they are learning, going through his electronics, his messaging, his own videos. he's someone who

had extraordinarily extraordinary problems going on in his life. family, finance, business and other issues, who adopted this i.s.i.s. i.s.i.s. narrative where they promise you valor, belonging, empowerment. and in i.s.i.s. channels, they're hailing him, saying they are hoping that he is one of the brothers who is down with the cause and that that he followed the i.s.i.s. instructions on how to do a ramming attack. >> interesting. all right, john miller, thanks for all this new reporting. >> thanks, john. sarah. >> john miller always has the skinny on investigations. all right. this just in. president biden and the first lady will be going to new orleans on monday to mourn at the site of the deadly new year's day attack on bourbon street, according to white house officials, they are planning to pay their respects to the families and community members impacted by the senseless tragedy and meet with officials on the ground. president biden has pledged federal resources to help assist in the investigation into the attack, and has expressed the country's solidarity with the people of new orleans. all

will be sworn in. but the drama is about the speaker. will he lose his gavel or will pressure from trump help him keep it? democratic congressman john garamendi is with us now this morning. good morning to you. thank you so much for joining us. what are you hearing about johnson's chances in the halls of congress, in which you are literally standing in right now? >> well, using the right word is drama. >> i don't think there's an answer to that question. there are maybe one for sure, maybe a half a dozen republicans that are going to stand aside. >> i know where we are on the democratic side. we're unified. we were unified in the last congress, the 118th. >> every important piece of legislation had a majority vote by the democrats. >> the republicans added on, and i think we're going to see more of that as we go into this year. the republican caucus is very, very thin. >> their majority one, two, maybe three votes, depending on

who's absent. and the democrats will once again provide the necessary votes to move the government forward, just as we did in the last congress. >> congressman, what kind of work can democrats get done when republicans are in control of both houses? although, like you said, it's a razor thin margin. but the reason that some house republicans are fractured is partly because they don't want the speaker to work with you, with democrats. >> well, isn't that just a conundrum? the fact of the matter is, legislation has to pass in march. >> the government is going to be out of money, and the republicans have not only the presidency, the senate, they also, at least nominally, control the house of representatives. >> they're in charge. they're going to be responsible for funding the government in march. if they cannot do it themselves, then they're going to have to turn to the democrats here in congress. and

we will then have the opportunity to write that legislation in a way that is good for the working men and women of america right now. the republicans seem determined to take care of the billionaire class, the elon musk and the billionaires of this of this country. that's not where we are. so come march, you're going to see the democrats, the republicans having to come to the democrats. and we're going to require that if they want our votes, they're going to have to have that funding beneficial to the men and women, to the firefighters, the teachers, the nurses, the working men and women out there in the construction projects. that's where we're going. and you can place a bet that the republicans are going to have to come to the democrats at that moment. now, will there be a speaker today? well, i think there's a wonderful song from the 60s called the answer. my friend is blowing in the wind. >> that will be an easy thing

to quote you on there. we all know that song very well. how much of a battle do you think there is going to be when it comes to trying to fund the government? we have seen it tanked by donald trump before. he was even in office as the president elect. do you think we are going to see a shutdown coming well, yes, unless the republicans work with the democrats, we're going to have to work across the aisle. >> we're going to have to look at bipartisan. it's very, very clear that in the republican caucus, there are, i don't know, 1015 very hard line republicans that are going to oppose the well, we don't know the spending plan, but quite likely we'll oppose whatever is on the floor. that means they're going to have to work with the democrats, which is the way it should be in any case. so we'll see. we'll see what happens here. now, if they want to, you know, stomp their feet and place themselves on concrete. yeah. there will be a

shutdown for sure. unless of course, you can count on chip roy and a few of the other very hard line republicans breaking and going along. they've not done that in the past. i wouldn't expect to see that in the future. >> i want to turn to your state of california, where wildfires have just ravaged the state. they burned more than ever. it is more expensive than ever. and we're seeing insurance companies pulling out of the state or stopping writing policies in the state for home ownership. this is a real threat to homeownership, which is already excruciatingly expensive. is there something that you can do to help fix this? >> well, i was insurance commissioner for eight years in the early 90s and then again in the 2000, and indeed, the insurance commissioner in california has the power to create a rational market. but frankly, the current insurance commissioner has not done so. and it appears as though just a day or two ago he issued an

emergency order that basically opened the door for the insurance companies to charge anything they want to charge for homeowners insurance. my prediction is that the crisis is going to get worse, that the commissioner has not used his power to discipline the insurance marketplace. it's very, very difficult. i know my own situation. i've seen insurance triple over the last three years for a homeowner's policy, and that's not that is what is happening to homeowners. it's going to be a very difficult situation for homeowners in california unless the insurance commissioner uses the power that he has to discipline the market to force the insurance companies to prove that they need the insurance, the premium rate increases. and also he has the power to force them to write policies in every part of the state. red is illegal in

california. if the insurance commissioner is willing to use the power to stop that red line. now, the redlining used to be based upon racial and income. now it's based upon race, income, and fire danger. >> it's a real conundrum, congressman, and the fact that you've had to go through some of that means that it will be very difficult for others. i just want to say to you that i hope things and treatment is going well. i know you are suffering with cancer. you have multiple myeloma. and i heard this other interesting fact. i want to say congratulations to you and your wife, patricia, who is a lovely woman who is a lot of fun. on your 60th marriage anniversary. this year. pretty commendable. congressman, really appreciate it. thank you sarah. >> you're welcome. thank you. and the treatments. everything is going very well in my life. i'm blessed in so many ways. >> thank you. glad to hear it, john. >> 60 year marriage. that's impressive. right? all right. roll out the red carpet. the golden globes are upon us. we have the inside scoop on who

>> right. award season kicks off with the golden globes on sunday. who will win big? who will get snubbed? you know who has the answers. cnn's lisa france. who is here? okay. tell me everything. >> you're putting a lot on me, john. i don't have all the answers, especially because the golden globes is going to be hard to predict this year. they've made a lot of changes, including with their voting body. so it's hard to have a front runner. but when it comes to movies, of course it's been a wicked season and those that film, of course, has been tremendously successful at the box office and has garnered a few nominations. and it's interesting because ariana grande has been nominated in the best supporting actress category, while cynthia erivo has been nominated for best actress in both a musical and one of the things that people love about this is it is a signal for the nostalgia girlies, because you have ariana grande nominated this year, you also have selena

gomez nominated for her work in emilio perez, and you have miley cyrus nominated in the song category for, um, the last showgirl. and so all of these women that we watched growing up on, on tv have been nominated. so it's pretty exciting. >> and generally speaking, you know, who are people rooting for this year? is there kind of a popular favorite? >> yeah, people are definitely rooting for pamela anderson. she's nominated for the last showgirl, and it's been an amazing career run for her. i mean, she's really had this tremendous comeback and she's getting such amazing reviews when it comes to this. so people are super excited to see her potentially win. she's not, you know, just a favorite like to win. but she's a favorite just for the comeback that she's had. >> now what about the host. because look the golden globes has got the reputation for the place where you can drink. you know, the audience. they're all there drinking. the host, they sometimes roast people. it gets
