>> back on the world stage, president donald trump speaking in davos and shedding light on his defiantly america first agenda while back home. one of his most controversial cabinet picks faces a critical test vote, plus, tens of thousands of people are forced to evacuate their homes as two fast moving wildfires erupt near los angeles. why fire officials are calling these latest fires a completely different beast. >> and if you are one of the many users who found themselves following president trump on instagram and facebook, despite not signing up to do so, meta wants you to know it's not forcing those accounts on you. so what is going on here? we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news center. >> this morning, president donald trump gave his first speech to global and business leaders since taking office.

addressing them remotely at the world economic forum in switzerland. trump vowed to pressure opec to cut oil prices and falsely claimed that he could singlehandedly force interest rates to go down, and he offered this pitch. come do business and build your products in the united states, or pay the price. listen. >> my message to every business in the world is very simple. come make your product in america and we will give you among the lowest taxes of any nation on earth. but if you don't make your product in america, which is your prerogative, then very simply you will have to pay a tariff, differing amounts, but a tariff which will direct hundreds of billions of dollars and even trillions of dollars into our treasury to strengthen our economy and pay down debt. >> cnn chief national affairs correspondent jeff zeleny joins us now live at the white house. jeff, as always, a lot to unpack here from president trump. i wonder what your

takeaways were, boris? >> there was a lot to unpack there, but i think that was the central message. america is open for business. however, he had a few caveats onto that, and it was reminiscent to me of the first speech that president trump gave to davos when he went all the way back in 2018. however, there was a sense of of confidence and assurance there and really knowing exactly what he wanted to be asking for and talking specifically to the business leaders in the room. and of course, the global audience. but the reality is on the lowering of the the corporate taxes. that's something he cannot do with executive order. that's something he cannot do on his own. he must do with the house and the senate. so that is still the central question of all of this. what is he able to do from a legislative standpoint? but in terms of giving a speech to the world leaders and indeed the business leaders in the room, he was very clear. i mean, he was talking again about how he believes the nato nations don't pay enough of their gdp to defense. this is something we also saw in the first term,

when they did increase their spending. the question of doing a 5% spending that is not likely to happen, but also was saying some things that simply are outside of the purview. you see, some of the the list there wants interest rates cut. every president would like interest rates to be cut. but again, that is not something that you can just will into being from the white house. but i think overall, just seeing the president's message there, talking about these specific business related things, it's again a reminder that he said america is open for business, but there are some strings attached to that. so he wants global leaders to do business with the u.s. otherwise he was threatening the the tariffs. but again, no specifics or few specifics. we should say on the exact tariffs he's talking about. not much talk about china either. that, of course is one of challenges facing any u.s. president. of course, and certainly this one. but no question that he seemed to revel in the audience and the questions he was asked from the business leaders. boris. >> yeah, important to point out

we're still waiting on specifics for his tariffs on china. we'll see when those come jeff zeleny live from the white house. thank you so much. we want to take you now to davos with cnn business editor at large richard quest. richard, thanks so much for being with us. something trump said that struck me was that he would directly urge saudi arabia and opec to lower oil prices. he said that he believed that that would lead to a peaceful conclusion to the war in ukraine. it's not quite that simple, though, is it, richard well, first of all, he can't direct opec. >> that's the most important thing. but secondly, it's much more complicated, as you rightly point out. so he wants opec to lower prices. and he said he wished they had done it before the election. he wants opec to lower prices. but if they lower prices then saudi arabia will get less oil revenue. and the price of oil currently

is already causing saudi great pain. saudi has huge budget deficit, huge expenditures on vast infrastructure projects. the last thing saudi arabia wants to do is cut the oil price because it will reduce their revenues. and this ties in to what the president also said he was talking about the crown prince mbs, who he said is a good man. and he said mbs has promised to invest 600 billion into the united states. well, he said, donald trump said make it a trillion, make it a round trillion. oh yeah, very nice. but if you are asking to increase spending but lower revenues on oil price, it's a nonstarter. look, boris, i think you and i and jeff and everybody else, we can spend the next ten hours parsing what he said, analyzing it, discussing it. that misses

the point. the point is here the president has put these previously unthinkable things on the table. he's got them into the arena. we're discussing them. many of them will never happen. many of them can't happen. as jeff zeleny said, doesn't matter. we are discussing them. the unthinkable is now being discussed and that is classic donald trump. get everybody talking about your plan and then you stand a chance of some of it happening. >> to that point, richard, i want to play a clip of trump talking about how he plans to lower interest rates here in the united states. let's listen. >> with oil prices going down, i'll demand that interest rates drop immediately. and likewise, they should be dropping all over the world. interest rates should follow us. >> obviously, richard, the federal reserve is supposed to be independent of the

executive. that's part of why it was established to begin with. do you think he's just putting this on the table, or do you think he's intent on having greater control over what the fed does? >> forgive me for being blunt, and i say this with respect to the president. he's talking economic nonsense. and let's just play this through. first of all, he can't direct the fed to do anything. so that's out the way. and anyway, the fed only controls interest rates at the very short end. at the short end of the curve, long term rates are set by the market in terms of general economic conditions. but play with me on this and you'll see where i'm going if you. if oil prices come down. yep. prices come down. if prices come down people spend more. inflation goes up. you see it's a very finely balanced act in terms of this. the fed is going to be watching inflation and unemployment. and at the moment the fed is very, very worried

that the president's policies will stoke so much growth that there will be. inflation. it's not easy any of this, but the global economy is complicated and donald trump is trying to drive a bulldozer through it. >> richard quest, always appreciate the analysis. live for us from davos. thanks so much, erica. >> well, the justice department with a clear message to a federal judge in seattle, do not block president trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship this hour. that judge is set to hear from four of the nearly two dozen states now suing over the president's signature piece of immigration policy. it's just one of several lawsuits actually filed in the days since trump signed the order, saying that it violates the 14th amendment, which, of course, gives a constitutional right to citizenship to anyone born in the u.s. the challenge comes as the trump administration escalates its crackdown at the southern border. u.s. officials say they are aggressively bolstering security there, with some 1500

troops set to deploy by the end of the week. cnn's joan biskupic joins me now. so, joan, in terms of what we're going to hear, the key arguments that we can expect to hear from both sides. what are they? >> sure. you know, richard quest just used the phrase previously unthinkable. this whole case now falls into that category. we've seen a torrent of executive orders and mass pardons, but this is really different. donald trump's challenge to birthright citizenship. and we're about to hear those arguments playing out today in seattle. but let's just give our viewers a baseline of what the 14th amendment actually says, because there's a key phrase in there that's going to be subject to dispute. it says all persons born or naturalized in the united states and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the united states and of the state wherein they reside. so that's the baseline. the court's going to start with this. 1868 ratified thing. the other point, and this is a century old precedent that this court is now picking up from, is an 1898 case

involving a chinese national, a, pardon me, a son born of chinese nationals here, where the supreme court said the amendment, the 14th amendment is clear in words and manifest intent. that includes children born within the territories of the united states, of all persons, whatever their race or color, domiciled within the united states. now, what donald trump has done with his executive order is to say, essentially, that that case should be reversed, and that the 14th amendment's phrase, subject to the jurisdiction thereof, would not include undocumented immigrants. anyone who's not a citizen or a permanent legal resident who had a child here, and that would withdraw citizenship from hundreds and thousands of people who now are entitled to it. >> so it seems the goal in many ways is not just to overturn. right. that that ruling from 1898, but to make sure that any of this litigation that we're

following in this moment ends up before the supreme court so that that can happen. >> that's exactly right. and it's interesting because the supreme court, you know, all the justices on the court, including the three new conservatives from donald trump, never were they asked about this part of the 14th amendment or this 1898 precedent. it just wasn't, you know, to pick up previously unthinkable the line from richard. but it will eventually get up there and it would really fly in the face of supreme court precedent from liberals and conservatives if the justices were to bite on this. >> we will see a lot of other things previously unthinkable that we've been witnessing. and i guess we buckle up for more. joan, good to see you. thank you. eric. well, still to come here. two new infernos breaking out in southern california, leading to tens of thousands of new evacuations. we are following the very latest there. plus, investigators searching for a motive in yesterday's shooting at a nashville high school say they have now uncovered alarming writings connected to the teenage suspect. and later, are you suddenly following president trump and vice president vance on social media

but don't remember clicking follow? meta. now responding to claims of forced followers on instagram and facebook. that and much more ahead on cnn news central. >> i lay on my back frozen, thinking the darkest thoughts, and then everything changed, dana said. you're still you and i love you. >> super man. the christopher reeve story february 2nd on cnn. >> hey hon, i found our new car on carvana already. >> i want to do some research. torque or horsepower for this? oh, great. return policy. i found it. >> great minds. >> are by your car on carvana today. >> it's half time. time to go to the bathroom. >> never slams. >> shower and count how many full baths you have. >> it's a jack and jill. >> selling your home to open door is so easy. you can do it during half

time. >> for generations, this ally to the north has been by your side. ontario, canada a partner connected by shared history, shared values and a shared vision for what we can achieve together, stable and secure. when the world around us isn't. you can rely on ontario for energy to power your growing economy and for the critical minerals crucial to new technologies. ontario is your third largest trading partner, and the number one export destination for 17 states. our long standing economic partnership keeps millions of americans working in a changing world. it's time to bring jobs back home and build together more workers, more trade, more prosperity, more security. for generations, this ally to the north has been here and for generations more. we'll still be here, right by your side.

>> when the temperature drops, you've got two choices. close your eyes and think warm thoughts. or open your eyes and get out here. there's only one vehicle lineup that embraces everything the cold has to offer. the official vehicles of winter jeep. there's only one right now. during the jeep start something new sales event. get 20% below msrp for an average of $13,000 under msrp on 2024. jeep, gladiator, rubicon, and mojave models. >> i'm oren. >> liebermann at the pentagon, and this is cnn. >> just as l.a. area firefighters are finally getting the upper hand on the deadly palisades and eaton fires, more infernos are now breaking out, threatening homes, iconic landmarks. they're forcing new evacuations and also reigniting widespread panic. the latest fire that we're following is the hughes fire. we start to tell you about this yesterday. it's burning about 50 miles north of los angeles. it first began wednesday morning. as of now, it's burned more than 10,000 acres. it's just 14%

contained at this point. there's also a second blaze, the sepulveda fire, which erupted late last night near bel air along l.a .'s infamous 405 freeway. it hasn't spread. there is still concern, though, of course, in the greater l.a. basin remains under red flag alert. cnn national correspondent natasha chen is at the edge of that hughes fire in castaic. so how are the wind conditions? importantly, right now? >> yeah, erica, the winds are pretty strong right now and that's what you're seeing behind me here. that is the concern today that winds could pick back up, even though they seem to have gotten some management of this overnight. now, as strong as the winds are now, this is nothing compared to the force of the winds. that first day of the palisades fire, which really wreaked so much havoc in that area on the west side of los angeles. so the reason that the hughes fire did not become a bigger problem than it is is really because the winds have not been as

dramatic as we've seen in the last couple of weeks, that it is extremely dry, but we are expecting some rain coming up this weekend, which presents a whole other problem. here's a battalion chief talking about it. >> we're transitioning into a different weather pattern, which could bring more hazards, more incidents from the rain. so we've surged resources down. cal fire has brought another team down to deal just with the landslide potential. the erosion control on both the eaton and the palisades burn scar that is their only job is to make sure they they they protect the communities from that. >> so that's the next problem that they're looking out for here. in the meantime, the hughes fire. we are very lucky in that it did not so far encroach upon any structures. no injuries thus far, even though there are tens of thousands of people under

evacuation warnings or orders right now, and they are working very hard to try and see if some of those people can start coming back to their homes. but right now, they need to get these hotspots under control. and we occasionally see a spot here and there where there is still smoke rising, but otherwise in general, they were able to aggressively attack this one area because they already had so many resources from other states and even canada here, from those other fires that they were able to divert to this one. >> thankfully, that was able to happen. natasha, really appreciate it. thank you. >> boris. crews battling the hughes fire are getting some much needed help from the california air national guard. take a look at this video from inside the cockpit of a specialty air tanker called the super hercules, dropping thousands of gallons of fire retardant over the castaic yesterday. it's one of eight of these aircraft fighting the fires across southern california. for the latest, let's get to cnn aviation correspondent pete muntean. pete, take us through what a difference this kind of aircraft can make.

>> this is so critical because this fire was spreading so fast about the size of a football field, every 2 to 3 seconds at its peak bloom yesterday. now, the edges are near the five freeway and castaic. but the good news is the winds are not as high as when the palisades fire erupted, meaning that the aerial firefighting has been able to swoop in much more quickly. air tankers are really the first step in fighting a wildfire. they dropped that red retardant or water on the edges of a fire. then firefighters on the ground can move in and do their work. this is the view from a california air national guard c-130j super hercules. the left seat there is major john. mark colette peters, and he says his crew is about to make a drop on the hughes fire. normally a normal military cargo plane, eight of them helping out in cal fire right now. but in the back, they're carrying this special system. it's called maffs. he's got that dog in him. it's an acronym today. it stands for the modular airborne firefighting system, and it can be slid into the cargo hold of a herc, dropped 3000 gallons of

retardant, all in less than five seconds. and this is what it sounds like when they make that drop al-funduq. again, a normal cargo plane used by the military here, and you can hear some of the aural alerts going off in the cockpit. they're saying altitude, altitude because they're so low, the retardant that they drop creates a path about 100ft long and a quarter mile wide. so now the crew goes back to base. refill takes only about 12 minutes. this is a really huge help because these fires are growing so fast. crews coming not only from california but also wyoming and colorado and nevada. so this help is coming from the u.s. military, not just cal fire and local fire departments there in california. >> and it's not just the super hercules we saw a moment ago.

there's a handful of other aircraft that are helping out. what are they doing? >> the good news is, because the winds have been relatively low. helicopters have been able to swoop in overnight. and so they've been able to use this new system from the los angeles county fire department. this is what they call their quick response aircraft. it's a chinook helicopter and has these retractable snorkels that can go down into the body of water that are over there means they can make more drops without refueling. they can fly more runs much more quicker. a lot of aerial assets in the air right now, notably the now infamous super scooper, the canadair cl 415 from quebec and british columbia. remember, one of them hit a drone operating illegally near the palisades fire about ten days ago, put the plane, known as quebec one, out of commission, but thankfully they've made the fixes, the necessary repairs. it was much more deep than just the surface, skin deep. and now that airplanes flying again, it's actually up right now. >> it is a huge help. pete muntean, thanks so much for the latest on that angle. people across los angeles and ventura counties are enduring another

day of fire weather danger. joining us now to discuss is bill miranda, the mayor of santa clarita, which is just south of the hughes fire. mayor, thank you so much for being with us. i know last night you said local officials were cautiously optimistic, as today rolls on. what's the latest on efforts to contain the hughes fire? how are you feeling? >> i'm feeling great. and first of all, thank you for having me on. and most importantly, thank you for the great coverage that cnn has given our fires. it's very important to our community that people get the news and get it accurately. so we thank you for that. we're feeling very positive. we're feeling cautiously optimistic. as i like to say, we are prepared. we we have been blessed to have avoided most of the fires throughout the last three weeks. we're finally yesterday, we we lost a little bit of that blessing in the sense that we

do now have a fire in the greater santa clarita area, but we're also blessed that the winds have been good to us. the firefighters. i can't thank them enough. all the first responders, the sheriff's deputies, the forest service to chp, they've all been extremely, extremely heroic in our in the efforts to to help us. i, i have to say some of these firefighters have been working ten days straight. some of them 24 over seven. it's incredible the work that they do. most of us normal human beings could do it for a while, but not anywhere near this long. these are truly heroic people and our city thanks them. >> yeah, we're undoubtedly grateful for their efforts as we're watching live images in los angeles county. we just saw that camera zoom in to what were a group of firefighters face to face with those flames. you touched on

this, but i was hoping you would expand on how the weather forecasted for today and tomorrow might affect efforts at. containment. >> okay, so first of all, the winds are what they are. we're in a valley. winds can kick up in an instant almost. they can swirl because we're in a valley. winds don't necessarily go in one direction. so we have to remain vigilant. uh, we're hoping that the winds stay favorable for us. but if they don't, we have to be vigilant. we have. we have lifted the evacuation orders. so there are no more evacuations going on. but we have to be, as i say, vigilant in case that should turn around. uh, embers have a way of traveling, and they can travel a mile. they can travel two miles. and within santa clarita, that's a large populated area. >> yeah. glad to hear. >> that weather. as i say, the

winds stay favorable. and when the rains come, that will be helpful for us, at least in terms of the fires. uh, mudslides are going to be an issue for everybody throughout l.a. county. but, uh, but we're as prepared as we can be for for this, this type of thing. we're very experienced with fires here in santa clarita. >> yeah. glad to hear that. things are apparently moving in the right direction. mayor bill miranda, we have to leave the conversation there. thanks so much for the time thank you very much. of course. so he has a big agenda and one of the smallest majorities in house history. so can president trump get his plans through congress? we're actually going to be speaking to a moderate republican from a key swing district who met with president trump yesterday to discuss. >> 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

as this one. and he said that the birthright citizenship executive order that donald trump signed within hours of taking the oath of office for the second time, it is blatantly unconstitutional. and he was going to temporarily block block that order. so first, first of donald trump's many missives that he took on monday and that he took on tuesday, this is the first one that's been blocked, but it's also the one that is, frankly, at this point, erica, predictable because this order that would negate more than a century's century of protection for anyone born in the u.s. to become a citizen. it really does fly in the face of precedent. erica. >> joan, really appreciate it. thank you. sure. let's discuss this and much more with don bacon of nebraska. the congressman joining me now from capitol hill. congressman, good to have you with us. so i hope that you could hear joan in your ear there. the the

breaking news that we're just getting is that this was a steep hill, as joan put out. but the judge there saying that it is blatantly unconstitutional and has now blocked president trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship. i'm just curious your reaction to that. >> i suspect. >> it is unconstitutional. >> the supreme court has ruled on this decades and decades ago. i assume it's probably going back to the supreme court. but i think if the president wants to get this resolved the way he wants to, it will have to require a constitutional amendment. i believe this has been ruled on many years ago, decades ago. and i think we're probably going down the same path. >> how much support do you think there would be in congress to take a look at it well. >> i think the 14th amendment was done. i don't think people assume that a lot of folks who travel here to have babies to have citizenship, and i know that's exaggerated, but it does happen. so i think there's probably going to be some support for trying to revise what the 14th amendment

did. i as for myself, i'd rather be a good listener for a while. take the pros and cons, but this will probably be be ruled unconstitutional by the supreme court. and if we want to fix it, it will have to be a constitutional amendment. >> all right. i also want to get what we're talking about. immigration. in response to the department of justice's directive that prosecutors should investigate local or state officials who would stand in the way of enforcing federal immigration law. omaha's police chief noted that his department would continue to do its job, which he pointed out is not immigration enforcement. but when pressed about the possibility of federal officials insisting on help, he said, and i'm quoting him here, the federal government can't come one day and give a directive to the omaha police chief, to the mayor to say, this is what you're going to do. do you believe he's right? or should local law enforcement be investigated, even if they don't have the authority to enforce those immigration violations? >> you know, i haven't had a chance to talk to the mayor or the chief of police. they're both my friends, and i know this happened just a few days ago. i know their concern is they don't want people in

omaha to be afraid to call the police if there's a crime and say they're not a citizen. and so they're trying to ensure that crimes are being reported. so i think that should be what that's that's what they're trying to take care of here. and they should try to maybe reemphasize that part. but i also believe that in the end, the chief and he's he's a good man. he's he's a friend of mine. if they have like criminal people who are here illegally, i think he would be cooperating. so i presume he's going to clarify a little more what they mean on that, because i've been listening to the radio shows here in washington, but the local radio and i've been hearing a lot of banter on this, and i think it probably needs some further clarification, but i know the purpose of what he said. he he wanted people to feel like they could call the police and say a crime was committed without fear of being deported. >> and that was that was part of what was said in that, in that press conference that that he wanted people to still feel that they could call on the police department for those very reasons without worrying about their status. do you think, though, that this directive, though, is it is it going too

far? >> are you talking about from the omaha or from the federal government? >> no, from the federal government. the doj being told that they, you know, to go if there is not cooperation or if they are not, you know, enforcing this, that prosecutors could go after local and state officials. >> well, i think what the top issue in this election, maybe the top 1 or 2, is this illegal immigration with 10 or 11 million people. i generally support what the president's doing here, because what happened in the last four years became the top issue in our country. and it cost, really, it cost biden or harris the election in the end. and i think it preserved the house and helped us win back the senate. and the voters made it clear they wanted action taken. now, we can maybe disagree on some of the details here, but the president was elected to secure our border. and i think particularly if you're a criminal here illegally, you're going to be deported. now, there's going to be some debate on folks who don't fit that status. but in the end, americans want legal immigration, not illegal

immigration. that's what the president is acting on. and i think he's i am in general support of the president and what he's trying to do here. >> you have said, i know that the pardons for january 6th should have been more targeted, in your view, that there should be accountability for rioters who hurt and attacked law enforcement. i know you met with the president yesterday. did you bring that up in your meeting with him? >> no. i talked about local issues, but i did talk to his staff so they knew where i stood on this. and i agree with what vice president vance said that it should be targeted if someone went into the the capitol building, like, say, there was an open door, some of the doors were open. they weren't committing vandalism, they didn't assault a police. i believe there should be mercy shown to someone like that. however, if you assaulted a police officer, there were 140 cops that were injured that day. and i'm a pro law enforcement republican congressman, you should be held accountable if you deface the capitol. and i know in some cases, some of these folks defecated on the on the floor of the capitol, these folks should be held accountable. or

maybe their sentences could have been commuted if you thought the sentences were too strong. but pardoning takes away the entire crime for folks in those categories. so i think along with most americans, we want to protect our police. we don't don't agree with vandalism. if some people are over prosecuted, let's deal deal with that. but i just think it was an overshot. but i must say this, erika, the president did campaign on doing this. so he he campaigned on it. i disagreed with it. i contrast that with joe biden, who said he was against preemptive pardons. he said he was not going to pardon his son and didn't end up doing so. so i do think there's some differences there. >> um, but before i let you go, while we're on the topic of january 6th, speaker johnson has said he's launching a subcommittee to investigate the january 6th committee. you have said that the investigation itself would be a lot of going backwards. what do you believe that subcommittee would achieve then, if anything, if it is in fact going backwards? >> there are a few things i would like to have known. who put the pipe bombs in front of

the nrcc and the d triple c. we weren't able to resolve that. and i would like one thing clarified. who told the national guard not to show up after they were invited to come. and i'd like to follow that in the chain of command and just have clarity there. but i do think that we should be moving more forward than backwards on this. so we've been studying this now for four years. i opposed the pelosi select committee. i supported the bipartisan committee, though. that or the bipartisan commission that we voted on first. i thought it was a fair way to go forward 5050. you'd have to have bipartisan support for subpoenas. that was not it did not pass. so then we ended up with a pelosi select committee, and i thought it was maybe too partisan. but i think it is time to move forward. but there are some unanswered questions that i think america should would like to know. >> well, we will we will be watching to see what happens with that. congressman don bacon, i appreciate your time this afternoon. thank you. thank you. well, investigators say they found alarming writings connected to the teenager who opened fire at a tennessee high school. could

controversial bills and on controversial nominations like pete hegseth. and in a long statement that she just put out on x, she goes after hegseth, raises questions about his character, raises questions about his experiences, fitness for the job, raises questions about allegations of personal misconduct, and statements that he made in the past, criticizing women in combat. now, this is what she said as part of this statement. she said after a thorough evaluation, i must conclude that i cannot in good conscience support his nomination for secretary of defense. i did not make this decision lightly. i take my constitutional responsibility to provide advice and consent with the utmost seriousness. now she goes on to talk a lot more about a number of issues. she talks about these allegations in the past about sexual assault and excessive drinking and the like. hegseth, of course, has denied that repeatedly, including at his confirmation hearing. but she said that that she said mr. hegseth has admitted to including infidelity,

infidelity on multiple occasions, which he says demonstrates a lack of judgment that is unbecoming of someone who would lead our armed forces. she really just raises concerns about character, about fitness and simply says he is not the right choice for the position. now, this vote is coming up this afternoon. a critical vote, it would be to clear a democratic led filibuster. in order to do that, they need to have a simple majority of senators, meaning in the 5347 senate. we expect all democrats to vote no. that means that he can't afford to lose more than three republican votes. and now, with murkowski, will there be two more or maybe three more republicans who will vote? no? at the moment, no other republicans have announced their opposition. someone to watch senator susan collins of maine. she did indicate earlier today that she believes she may have enough information to make a decision on how to vote. she would not say how she would vote. another person we are watching senate, former senate republican leader and current kentucky senator mitch mcconnell. i asked him yesterday and today how he would vote on hegseth. he declined to comment. we'll see

how he ultimately comes down. but even all that, republican leaders are still confident that hegseth will be confirmed by the end of this week, despite murkowski's opposition, because they believe republicans ultimately will fall in line. >> and. and manu, when it comes to that procedural vote later this afternoon, what are we anticipating is going to happen there? >> yeah, that is simply to end debate. but it's a critical vote to end debate. it's to move to a final vote. and that is a straight party line vote is really all they need here. it's a simple majority, which means 5149. it could be 5050. that means if they lose three republicans, jd vance as the vice president, would come in and break the tie and give them enough votes, and then there will be 30 hours of debate, and then we get to a final confirmation vote by friday night. if there's not a deal to move the vote sooner. but that vote today is so critical, because if it does clear that critical hurdle, that means that he will ultimately be

confirmed by tomorrow. so that's why we're watching this vote. so crucially, in just about an hour. >> yeah. you imagine that the vice president is going to hang closely in case there is a 5050 tie. manu raju live on capitol hill. thanks for the latest on that story. still ahead on cnn news central, the latest on the investigation into a school shooting yesterday in nashville. details straight ahead. >> this part. >> changed my life. >> superman. crazy. just that simple little thing over the horse. >> chris wanted to change the world. >> people are. >> literally walking. >> because of him. >> superman. the christopher reeve story. february 2nd on cnn. >> want a next level clean swish with the whoa of listerine? it kills 99.9% of bad breath germs for five times more cleaning power than brushing and flossing alone. get a next level clean with listerine. feel the. whoa! >> with fast signs. create factory grade visual solutions

possible motive behind the deadly antioch, tennessee, high school shooting, officials have uncovered what they describe as a very concerning social media post and a series of them tied to the shooter. they also say the 17 year old livestreamed himself inside the school just minutes before yesterday's attack. one student was killed and another injured before the shooter wound up taking his own life. let's get the latest from cnn's ryan young, who is following this story for us. ryan, what do these posts entail? >> yeah. boris, what this post entails, it looks like a red flag was there before the shooting happened. and in fact, you look at it, he was inspired by other school shooters. and of course, this was breaking news during your show yesterday. in it, he talks about the fact that he detailed a plan not only of the school, but of the shooting itself. but instead of just talking about parts of this, boris, if you take a listen to a 20s of the live stream of the shots being fired, you understand what these students not only were running from, but what they were dealing with. take a listen.

yeah. jocelyn escalante, 17, was killed during that attack. boris. and as we went through all this and listened to some of the sound that was coming out, parents being so concerned. listen to this one student talking about witnessing this attack and the fact that there was nothing she could do as it unfolded right in front of her in a cafeteria around 11 a.m. >> i witnessed it all. i saw the guy shoot himself. i saw him on the ground. um, i was in the line, stuck with my friend. i was freaking out, hyperventilating. everything. and i felt stressed. overwhelmed. i felt like my whole world was crumbling apart in my hands, and i didn't have my phone, so i couldn't call my mom. and so i was really just there. and no one would know

that i'm gone just there. >> well, there were sros in the campus. those are officers. they weren't in the cafeteria by the time they responded. this was all over. but boris was clear right now, as investigators start going through this is something obviously was going on wrong in this young man's life that led to this shooting. as we get more, of course we'll share it with you. boris. >> ryan young, thank you so much for that important update. stay with cnn news central. as president trump addresses global leaders in davos, telling them to make their products in america or face tariffs. much more in just moments. >> welcome back. e i gows for you returns february 15th on cnn. >> with powerful, easy to use tools, power, etrade makes complex trading easier. react to fast moving markets with dynamic charting and a futures ladder that lets you place flatten or reverse orders so you won't miss an opportunity. e-trade
