>> well, look, guys, since it's friday, i did want to end on this. i just i needed something cute for the end of the week. and, yes, it's pandemonium in southwest china, 25 giant panda cubs. look at them. oh, my gosh. all the cubs were born in 2024 at two separate breeding centers. two of those pandas, bao li and king bao, made their big public debut. these are different pandas at the smithsonian national zoo in dc. so that's here. you can go and see them starting today. if you live here in washington. they loved the snow that we got a couple of weeks ago. and just because you can also see a picture of me from a very long time ago holding a baby panda in southwest china, i'm like nearly 20 years younger in those photographs. but you know, the fact that i still have them should tell you how much i love them. because we love pandas. here, look at this. i mean, we should just play this on a loop, guys, right? >> i will say this for the senators that aren't used to spending their weekends in washington like they will be for the next several weekends, they should go see the pandas.

>> pandas this morning with kasie hunt. >> yes, i. >> can support that. thank you guys for being here. thanks to all of you at home for joining us as well. have a wonderful weekend. i'm kasie hunt president trump about to set off on the first trip of his new term disaster zones in north carolina and california. >> in just in a report about a white house invitation to maybe the last person you would think the president would invite someone he has said should be in jail. >> pete hegseth nomination. >> is on the line, and the. >> senate is set. >> to have its say with the final vote tonight, will republicans get trump's pick for defense secretary over the line? two republicans have come out against hegseth. and now details of a $50,000 payment that's sparking new questions. >> and the bills mafia taking a break from smashing tables ahead of their afc championship game sunday to support the player

whose mistake helped them get there in the first place. i'm sara sidner with john berman and kate bolduan. this is cnn news central this morning we are standing by for president trump to leave the white house for his first trip in this new term. >> first, he'll travel to asheville, north carolina, where hurricane helene washed away entire roads and businesses. he campaigned in the area right after the storm there. then the president will fly to los angeles, where the fire situation is still active and still extremely dangerous. now, the president has threatened to withhold federal aid in california and has repeatedly attacked the state's governor. overnight, though governor newsom, gavin newsom tried to strike a conciliatory tone. >> i look forward to being there on the tarmac to thank the president, welcome him. and and we're making sure that all the resources he needs for a

successful briefing are provided to him. i certainly plan on being there at the tarmac and and look forward to continuing to work, not just with him. the. administration. >> so there's that. and we just learned that president trump actually invited a man he has trashed for years to travel along. california senator adam schiff. he asked him to travel along to visit california's disaster zones. today, schiff's office conveyed the senator's regrets that he is unable to join the president in los angeles due to scheduled nomination votes. let's get right to cnn's alayna treene live at the white house. look, i didn't have an invitation to adam schiff on the bingo card for donald trump haha. >> no, i was just as surprised when i learned this. when i spoke to. >> a spokesperson in adam. schiff's office and they had confirmed that donald trump did invite him, that he couldn't come today because of votes. i was just as shocked as you, especially when you consider just a couple of days ago, john, remember, donald trump brought adam schiff up and called him scum from behind the resolute desk while talking to reporters

in the oval office. and so, look, it's very clear that people are trying to make this about the communities that have been affected. those in asheville where he is going to visit first today in north carolina, and then later, of course, in los angeles that has been ravaged by these wildfires. when i talked to one white house official, they said, look, donald trump does want to appear more stately. you know, he is president now, and the goal is to keep the focus on the communities, even though and this is what the adviser told me, that the attacks are justified. this white house officials words. now, i will add as well, that it is unclear whether or not donald trump is going to meet with california governor gavin newsom, someone he has also used derogatory words to describe and has criticized his response to the handling of the wildfires. as you showed earlier, newsom said that he plans to meet him on the tarmac. but when i talked to the white house last night, they said it's still unclear if the two will actually meet today. but look, this is something donald trump has talked about

both of these visits for a very long time. he has heavily criticized the handling from local officials and specifically democratic leaders in these states, for the recovery efforts, and also what they have done to better prepare these cities for these types of disasters. now, we also heard donald trump talk a lot about fema and their role in this. there could be some sort of announcement today about having fema, i'm told, streamline some of the process, that resources can be provided to these states and how they do that. so all things that we should watch for. but again, this is something donald trump has been wanting to do for a long time. and i think it's really a question of whether we will see him continue to kind of issue these sharp attacks against some of these leaders like schiff, like newsom, or if he will appear, as the white house official told me, kind of more stately for these visits, john. >> sometimes the goal does not line up with the results, and we should get our first chance to see how this might go when the president departs the white house today, where he may very well likely speak to cameras. alayna treene great to have you

there. thanks so much for that report, kate. >> as we're standing by for that, there's also relief and new danger out in california this morning, an already devastated los angeles is facing down a new threat of potential landslides. rain is in the forecast for the weekend, and that is a that is good news. they need it. as firefighters are still battling fires. but if they get too much rain at one time, it could do more harm than good. officials say more than 250,000 sandbags have been positioned in flood prone areas already. all of this work comes as fire crews are facing two new fires burning now in san diego county. cnn's julia vargas jones is in altadena with much more on this. what is the very latest that you're hearing about the fires and now this new threat? >> good morning kate. yeah. look, the hughes fire. >> which has burned more than 10,000 acres just in the 48 hours since it began, it triggered the evacuation of 16,000 residents. another almost 40,000 put under evacuation

warnings. look, there is also these two new fires you mentioned in san diego. there is good news. there is some rain coming this weekend. and the fires are largely under control. the red flags, red flag warnings are about to expire this morning around 10 a.m. local time, but the rain is bringing new concerns. it could bring yet another type of devastation to this area, and local officials are preparing, but they're warning that there could be another catastrophe. take a listen. >> this fire burned two feet into. >> the root. >> system on these foothills. >> there's nothing. >> left holding. >> the soil in place. so even one drop of rain will come down seven times faster than it typically would have prior to this fire. >> and so if these rains come a little heavier than expected in

these areas, it could be catastrophic. both mud and debris flowing through this. also, all of the toxic materials that we have here in altadena that have been warnings for people to not touch it with the rain, that's an extra concern that we could see. the cleanup efforts are just beginning here. and so this could bring another hurdle for this community. and just hoping that the rain doesn't come too hard and doesn't bring even more sorrow. >> kate julia vargas jones, thank you so much. the president headed there. and sarah coming in hot. >> i had to rush over here for a lot of reasons. >> kate. it's friday. i needed you, i needed you on a friday morning. sarah, it's. >> friday and i need help. thank you so much. ahead, will pete hegseth $50,000 payout to a woman who accused him of sexual assault. ultimately cost him the job of defense secretary. the senate is set to vote on his

republicans can only afford to lose three members the vote. they've already lost two senators, lisa murkowski and susan collins. overnight, cnn uncovered new information about a $50,000 payment. hegseth made. it was part of a confidentiality agreement to a woman who alleges he sexually assaulted her. hegseth, though, has repeatedly denied that allegation. cnn's manu raju has the story for us. >> pete hegseth well on his way to becoming the next secretary of defense after a weeks long battle in the aftermath of donald trump naming him shortly after the election to be his next secretary of defense, that blindsided republicans and democrats alike. pete hegseth, a former fox news host, a military veteran, someone not known. someone who doesn't simply does not have the experience to manage an organization like this. catapulting to this hugely important position. republicans fell in line. they said that he is the right person with the right mindset to shake

up the defense department. and in line with donald trump, they gave deference to the president's decision for this critical national security position. but democrats, in particular, raised concerns about his character. they raised concerns about his judgment about whether he could actually manage this sprawling and hugely critical agency. and as well as these allegations of misconduct, including allegations of sexual assault. now, he has denied allegations of sexual assault, allegations of excessive drinking, allegations of womanizing. we did learn, though, in correspondence with the senate armed services committee, he provided $50,000 to a woman who accused him in 2017 of sexual assault. they reached a nondisclosure agreement and the texan has testified he reached that nondisclosure agreement because he did not want this woman to go public with, he says, false allegations that could hurt his career. his attorney told us about that $50,000 settlement. he said it would cost more to fight this in court, which is why they decided to settle it now. that does not seem to change texas trajectory. he is

still expected to be confirmed tonight on a simple majority vote after the vote occurred on thursday afternoon to advance his nomination and break a democratic filibuster. that vote, 51 to 49 all democrats voted against. hegseth that included two. also two republicans joined democrats. all of the 51 votes in the affirmative were republicans. those two opponents who were on the gop side, senators lisa murkowski, senator susan collins, two moderate members who have often broke with their party. and on this issue, they raised similar concerns as democrats about his temperament, about his character, about whether he could do the job. they raised concerns about his past comments criticizing having women in combat. hegseth has since walked that back. collins did not believe his walk back and believe that his his comments recently that he opposed women in the military were very concerning to her and murkowski in particular, raised questions about his character. but given the nation the fact that this is

a 5347 gop controlled senate in order for hegseth nomination to stall, it would require four republicans to break ranks. only two republicans broke ranks, which means hegseth is going to be confirmed, and one of the narrowest majorities for a nomination, a post that often is supported by big bipartisan majorities. but given the controversy over this pick, that is why this was such a close vote. but hegseth is poised to get his job, get this critical job tonight. >> our thanks to manu for that. so new reporting this morning that president trump's tariff plans could plunge the entire continent into a recession. and a song that was thought to be lost forever has now been found. tina turner, like you have quite literally never heard her before. >> the boeing 747 has crashed in the lockerbie. >> area. trying to find out the

>> nba all star. let's get it on. >> vance. >> jon sarlin. >> watch on tnt, trutv and stream br sports on max. >> we've got new reporting this morning on the impact that president trump's proposed tariffs would have, not just on the u.s. economy, but the entire continent. cnn's matt egan is here with some new reporting on this. matt, what have you uncovered? >> well, john, we're just about. >> a. >> week away from president trump's threatened february 1st tariffs on mexico and. >> on canada. >> and look, this would be a risky gamble for. >> the president. >> these are two of our closest. >> neighbors. >> biggest trading partners. >> and economists say that this. >> 25% tariff. >> if it happens would. >> plunge both mexico. and canada into recession. particularly devastating for mexico because their economy relies on selling cars and appliances and food to the united states, and that this trouble could spill over into the u.s. in the form of slower growth here. also, potentially more illegal border crossings

into the u.s. from mexico that these two countries would almost definitely retaliate by putting tariffs on stuff that's made in america, and that this could lift consumer prices for americans and potentially cause the fed to keep interest rates higher for longer. so there's a whole series of potential impacts here. the problem is that these economies, right, there are three different countries, but their supply chains are really closely connected. they depend on each other. president trump has argued that we don't need the cars and the lumber and the oil, but the analysts who look at this stuff, they say otherwise, just look at the car industry in particular. the average car part crosses the border multiple times before it ends up in a dealership here in america. and so analysts have said that these tariffs would be devastating, causing the average car sold in the u.s. to get $3,000 more expensive. and also canada, it's the biggest source of foreign oil into the united states. gasbuddy has said that if these tariffs go into effect, you could see gas prices in the

great lakes region go up by up to $0.50. midwest and rockies by up to $0.30 a gallon. so really, when you take a step back and think about it, these tariffs, they could really undermine a number of trump's promises right at the border. the cost of living mortgage rates, gas prices. and so that's why people on wall street, they're a little bit skeptical. they think that trump might be bluffing here and that he's not going to actually impose these tariffs. >> the economies are so intertwined. these analysts feel that there is the risk of a boomerang effect, that anything you do to them would come back and hurt you here. exactly. people have covered donald trump's finances in business plays for years. say what has happened the last two weeks is like nothing they've ever seen in terms of these meme coins. >> right, right. listen, the president and the first lady jumping head first into the crypto space and not just any part of crypto meme coins are sort of like the wild west of the wild west, and it's raising all of these concerns about conflicts of interest and other

issues here. even some people in the crypto industry were taken aback when the president launched this meme coin just days before entering office. some lawmakers are also sounding the alarm. elizabeth warren and congressman jake, they put out a new letter where they say that anyone, including the leaders of hostile nations, can covertly buy these coins, raising the specter of uninhibited and untraceable foreign influence over the president of the united states. and that's not to mention the conflict of, of of of interest issues here. right. because the president was elected with a lot of support from the crypto industry. he promised to take a lighter regulatory touch. just yesterday, the white house put out a new executive order that, among other things, creates this working group to study crypto. they're reviewing all the regulations. they're even studying the creation of a national stockpile. so, john, look, i think that this is just the beginning of the congressional oversight. we're going to see on this particular meme coin issue, because it just raises so many questions.

>> yeah. it does. all right, mattie, great to see you this morning. thank you very much, kate. >> all will be revealed full stop. no, that is what president trump said when signing yet another executive order, this one to release the files related to the assassinations of jfk, rfk and mlk jr.. why? he says this is all about transparency. and new details about the fate of the hostages, set to be released by hamas in the coming weeks. former hostages expected to be released tomorrow. >> this cnn business update is brought to you by intuit. turbotax. now this is taxes. >> and now taxes is getting the. turbotax app and filing your taxes yourself 100% free. if you didn't file with

>> wednesdays. >> soon, president trump will be heading to western north carolina and southern california to tour the devastation left behind by two crippling and deadly natural disasters. fire crews in l.a. are gearing up for another threat. in addition to continuing to battle the fires, they're looking at potential landslides. rain is in the forecast and desperately needed, but too much, too soon could do more harm than good, cnn's meteorologist allison chinchar is tracking this one for us. and, allison, what are you seeing in the forecast here? >> all right, so we are seeing rain, which in theory should be a great thing to see because these areas desperately need to see it. you just don't want too much in a very short period of time, especially when concerning all of these different fire areas, because those burn scars then become targets for mudslides, landslides, debris flows, things like that during heavy rain. so here's a look at the six that we have that are in and around the los angeles area. none of which, by the way, are at 100% containment. we also have several farther south, a little bit closer near the san diego area. all of those right

now, 0% contained. when we look at the winds, we do still have some gusty winds this morning, several of them in the teens and even the lower 20s. that's why you still have this red flag warning. and this is valid until 10 a.m. pacific time on friday, because you are still expected to get those gusts around 20 to 40mph on the northern side could possibly be about 40 to 60mph into the extreme southern portion of the state, but those should gradually decrease as we go through the day. today. you're also going to see temperatures decreasing over the next few days. today, the high temperature in l.a. into the 70s. the rest of the next seven days. all well below where they normally would be this time of year. that is some relief in and of itself, but also the rain in the forecast. this should begin saturday, will continue through sunday and even a little bit of monday as well. overall, most of these areas likely to pick up about a half of an inch some spots, especially in those heavier downpours, could pick up one, maybe 1.5in total. snow is also expected in some of those elevations above 3500ft. so

again, most of this on the surface is fantastic news. the concern is when you get some of this heavy rain along those burn scar areas, it's too much. it just kind of flows right off of the area. so you get mudslides, you get debris flows, not to mention even some of the areas outside of the burn scars could still see some flash flooding when they get it in heavy doses around some of these thunderstorms could also possibly be some small hail to go with. some of those thunderstorms. >> allison chinchar thank you so much, john. >> all right. this morning the justice department says it will vigorously defend president trump's executive order that aims to end birthright citizenship after a federal judge blocked the order, calling it, quote, blatantly unconstitutional and granted an emergency order halting implementation of the policy. let's get right to cnn chief legal affairs correspondent paula reid for the latest. >> well, here. >> a federal judge. >> temporarily blocking president. >> trump's executive. >> order restricting. >> birthright citizenship. >> now, this blocking.

>> was largely expected because. >> historically. challenges to. executive action by presidents. they are filed in jurisdictions. >> where. >> the. >> challengers think they have a pretty good. >> shot at blocking the policy, at least temporarily, while a larger legal fight plays out. and here at the center of this legal fight is the 14th amendment of the constitution. now, historically, this has been interpreted to say that if you are born in the united states or a u.s. territory, that you are a u.s. citizen, but trump's lawyers are arguing that that provision needs to be reinterpreted, that it has been incorrectly interpreted by the say that if your parents don't have legal status, that you are not subject to the, quote, again at this provision. they also have some political arguments about potential national security risks with birthright citizenship, as well as abuses wealthy individuals flying here to have their babies so that

those babies have those rights. but on thursday, those arguments did not prevail. in fact, the judge said, quote, the arguments boggled his mind, and they do face an uphill battle here today. the plaintiffs won by arguing that there could be widespread harm if this policy is rescinded. but this is the first big test for the justice department, and one that in order to really prevail on, they would need to go to the supreme court. they would need to take this up and reinterpret this particular provision. now, the justice department, the trump justice department says, quote, they will vigorously defend the president's executive order, and they look forward to presenting a full merits argument to the court and to the american people who they say are desperate to see the nation's laws enforced. so, again, the first big legal test for the trump administration. but it will take some time for this to make its way to the supreme court. and it's up to the justices, if they even want to weigh in. >> paula, thank you so much. also, new reporting this morning

about the hostage and cease fire deal between israel and hamas. israeli families waiting anxiously once again. sources tell cnn that hamas should be providing mediation mediators soon with a list of names of the hostages set to be released next. cnn's bianna golodryga is in tel aviv tracking all of this for us. what are you hearing about the next step in this hostage ceasefire deal? and when? soon. and what we know about what hostages could be coming out. >> well. >> kate. >> this next. >> hostage release. >> can't come. >> soon enough. >> for a nation that. >> has just. >> been on. >> edge. >> after finally seeing. >> some good news last. >> week with. those three. >> first hostages. >> released from hamas last week, now we're. >> expecting within a matter of hours. >> any moment. >> now, actually. >> for hamas, in keeping. >> accordance with this deal, to. >> release the names of the. >> next four female hostages,

they are expecting to release tomorrow at 4 p.m. local time. >> again. >> last week they were supposed to release the. >> names 24. >> hours prior. they did not, and thus delayed the cease fire for three hours. but what we know now is we're expecting to. >> hear the names. >> one of the women is expected. >> to be. >> a one of two female civilian hostages. >> and. >> then the other three are female idf spotters. >> that are going. >> to be released. that is what they're expecting. >> tomorrow. >> kate. >> in exchange. >> then, once those. hostages are in the hands. >> of idf officials in israel, is when israel. >> will. >> release 30 palestinian. >> hostages. >> 30 palestinian prisoners for one of those female hostages, and then 50 for each of the idf spotters. so that happens after these hostages are in. israeli hands. also, kate, we're expecting hamas to release more information on the status of the remaining hostages that are going to be released in phase one. remember, there were 33 total. now, following the release of four tomorrow we'll

have 26 remaining hostages that should be released over the course of the next five weeks. we don't know their status. idf intelligence believes that the majority of them are alive, so we'll get much more clarity for the families here at home. but kate, you can imagine for those families who have hostages and loved ones in gaza now who are part of phase two, there is so much concern that they will not be coming home if israel does, in fact go back into gaza. one of the mothers today of a za hostage said the worry that the deal won't be fully implemented gnaws at us all, and there's a lot of concern about whether there will be the implementation of that second phase. but for now, all eyes are going to be on the list of names expected to be provided today in a very long day tomorrow, hopefully seeing more hostages coming home. kate. absolutely. bianna. thanks for being there. thank you so much, john. >> all right. this morning, one republican member of congress, at least one is trying to amend the constitution to allow

president trump, who just began his second term, to serve a third term. republican congressman andy ogles filed a joint resolution to congress proposing changing the 22nd amendment. he says the change will, quote, ensure that we can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs. with us now is congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, a democrat from florida. congresswoman, thank you so much for being with us. if this gets to the house floor, how will you be voting? >> oh. >> i'll be voting. >> no, no question. this is an issue that goes all the way back to the constitutional convention, when the founding fathers >>riting our initial constitution, and they made a very affirmative decision that we were not going to elect kings. we weren't going to have a king. that's why george washington stepped down after after his second term. and in after franklin delano roosevelt was elected to his fourth term,

there was a decision made constitutionally that we were going to limit presidents to two terms because we don't install monarchies in the united states. we are a democracy. we are a republic, and we need to make sure that we have a continuity of leadership with the people weighing in and being able to hold these leaders accountable. >> what's interesting is this this proposal from ogles, which again, i don't know how serious it is, specifies that it only applies to presidents. it only applies to presidents who serve nonconsecutive terms. so obama and clinton and george w. bush for that matter, they would not be able to run again. only donald trump would. so what does that tell you in general? take a step back about feelings within congress about this president. >> what it tells you is that the extremist maga through line from the majority of the republican

conference voting to overturn a legitimate election in 2020, to them, ignoring the january 6th effort that donald trump incited to overturn a legitimate election. and now one of them proposing a constitutional amendment to keep trump in office exclusively. it's it is demonstrative of this extremist republican base in congress that has no regard for the american people being able to drive decision making on a regular basis through elections. >> so today, i believe, is the march for life in washington. and the president granted pardons to 23 anti-abortion activists who were convicted of blocking access to reproductive clinics, which is against the law, and includes a woman who was later found with five fetuses illegally being kept in her home. what's your reaction to these pardons, and what message do you think it sends?

>> the pardons that donald trump has engaged in have demonstrated whether it was the criminals who were convicted by juries of their peers and sentenced to many years in prison. he granted full pardons to january 6th. criminals who beat police officers with flagpoles and who caused the death of capitol police officers. and now you see, you know, more, more pardons that are allowing people who actually committed crimes, who stopped the free access to a constitutional right at the time, where there are women who need to be able to make their own reproductive choices, and people don't get just, just get to block people from being able to exercise their rights. unless you're donald trump on his maga extremists. >> so donald trump is visiting disaster zones today in north carolina and in california as well. florida, your home state, is no stranger to hurricanes and

disasters. typically does. disaster aid is something that's seen as nonpartisan, and we did wake up to the news surprising, i think, to some people, that the president actually invited. now, senator adam schiff, your former house colleague, to travel with him into california to the disaster zone. what do you make of that news? >> well, that's certainly positive news. and democrats have said that we will take every opportunity we can to work on a bipartisan basis. certainly, when it comes to disaster relief and making sure that we can take care of people who have been devastated by fires in california and folks in north carolina and florida and the southeastern united states. in the aftermath of helene and milton. but we do have to make sure that that that the president understands and that the maga extremists in congress understand that we aren't trading, lifting the debt ceiling so that they can give tax breaks to billionaires. again in exchange for for disaster relief. so

let's see how true he is to actually taking care of people without strings attached. >> all right. congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz from florida, nice to see you this morning. thanks so much for being with us, sarah. >> all right. ahead, president trump's aggressive actions cracking down on immigration have begun. cnn rides, along with immigration and customs enforcement, to see the challenges they face on a daily basis and the power of the bills mafia put to use for a baltimore ravens player. that story is ahead. >> just close the doors. >> and you're.

>> good morning, sarah. >> thank you for having me. uh, you know, we we've got the fires in. >> the 87% control. the eaton fire. >> controlled. um, category. >> uh, and we're hoping. >> to make even more. >> headway today. this overnight and later today. um, but it's caused significant damage. uh, you know, we're well over 9000 destroyed structures. um. >> over. >> um, a vast, vast, uh, area. um, over 14,000, nearly 15,000 acres. uh, the entire west side of altadena has just been absolutely decimated. uh, as you know, here locally, while pasadena and altadena may be two separate legal jurisdictions, we are very much one community. uh, sharing a school district, sharing friends and family. in fact, we call ourselves the dina. >> yeah, i know they're lovingly

called the dina. i do want to ask you about the fact that you are helping to assist those in altadena, but there there was some consternation and some, some confusion from some of the residents in altadena who said that they did not receive those warnings. the evacuation warnings when the fires were were about to, you know, alight on their neighborhoods. here's what one resident says he experienced. >> i think that this lake boulevard. >> was some sort. >> of. impenetrable wall, you know, because it was like the street, everything, you know, west of it. they weren't, you know, evacuating or warning. >> what are you hearing about this? and is there an investigation into what happened here? >> we're hearing similar reports. um, and

we are joining the, uh, supervisor who represents that area, and the altadena town council in calling for a review and investigation to see what happened. um, and if, in fact, uh, those rumors are true, um, it would be unacceptable for one part of a community to receive, um, an evacuation warning. and if it were appropriate to issue that same warning to another part of the community. it should have been issued. uh, that would have been the the role of the county of los angeles. uh, i'm not certain whether it would have been the sheriff's of the county of los angeles and or the l.a. county fire department. um, but it would be very disappointing to learn that that there should have been an evacuation order issued, and it were not. if it was not, um, and as for as for pasadena, um, our

officers, police officers and firefighters. uh, once we saw the fire, uh, erupt in parts of altadena, we immediately went into assist and conducted our own evacuation. um, and, uh, assisted people to get out of their neighborhood. uh, and did advise people to, to immediately leave the vicinity as our officers determined it to be too dangerous to remain there. >> yeah, i know you've been providing some temporary shelter as well. now, let's talk about what's going to happen today, president trump, um, is headed to california. he and the republican leadership are threatening to withhold federal emergency aid to california. basically conflating blame over water hydrants going dry with a long standing battle over water rights that pits the central valley farmers against environmental concerns over saving a native fish. and

governor gavin newsom sort of snapped back at president trump, saying this was a conflation that was unfair, saying that the only thing fishy are trump's facts. california pumps as much water now as it could under prior trump era policies, and there is no shortage of water in southern california. he tweeted that out. or put it out on x. are you worried that your community will get caught up in the politics of all of this and fail to get the federal aid that you desperately need? >> absolutely. i'm calling on all sides, including president trump, uh, to set politics aside. this is not a time to engage in political gamesmanship, to hold hostage entire communities or even threatened communities, uh, with withholding, uh, desperately needed aid at a time that they need it most. this is a time to dig deep, uh, in our in our collective

humanity and do the right thing for the right reasons. bringing assistance to people who have been deeply affected in communities that have been completely decimated. uh, i can't believe that president trump or anyone else can visit these sites of devastation and maintain a political position that keeps aid from coming to these families. um, this is not the time, nor is it the issue, uh, to to hold back aid on, um, you know, we, we, our families need assistance. it's never been done before. never. i'm not aware of assistance being conditioned anywhere else in the country. uh, it's inhumane to do that. um. uh, president trump, we need your help. you're the president of the united states. you're the president of every every community and every american in america needs your

help. >> mayor victor gordo sending a message to president trump as he heads to the communities that have been ravaged by these fires, including your own. thank you so much for talking to us this morning and getting up oh, so early. i know you were tired because you've been working around the clock to try to deal with this emergency. appreciate you, kate. >> all right. a long lost song from the late, great tina turner has been rediscovered 40 years after it was written i just keep. >> on and on and on. >> i'll find. >> you. >> baby and i want to love you all night long. >> oh, yes, it is called hot for you, baby. thank you. >> god. >> i love it when you guys know what i'm looking for. it was originally meant to be a track on her hit 1980s album private dancer. it's not clear how the song disappeared, but it will be on the special anniversary release of private dancer coming

in march. then there is also this bills mafia is at it again as they prepare for this weekend's afc championship game against the kansas city chiefs, also known as travis kelce. taylor swift's boyfriend team bills fans are banding together to support a player from another team. baltimore ravens mark andrews. it was this pivotal moment. we shall show you right there. a major bobble by andrews that helped seal last week's win for the bills. after the game, andrews received an avalanche of hate online. and this is where bills mafia came in and shines. back in november, andrews shared a post raising awareness about life with diabetes to show support for andrews. after that loss, a bills fan stepped up, starting a gofundme to raise $5,000 for a type one diabetes charity in andrew's name. as of this morning, they have blown way past that goal, raising over $120,000. that's amazing. >> there it is. and i noticed that you used goal in that. and

so maybe. >> it's great with our suit jackets. it's really easy. >> it didn't work. >> my arms. >> are like yes. >> you can. >> do it, you can. >> do it. but how lovely. >> lovely. you are lovely. i don't like it when you're this much taller than me. >> but you are so lovely. >> we're just very tired because it's friday. what? yes. >> might also be because we were hanging out last night. >> okay, don't tell anybody. >> goodbye. >> secret. all right. thank you. kate. this week, the nypd issued a memo reminding law enforcement not to cooperate with federal immigration and customs enforcement or ice. this comes as president trump issued executive orders promising aggressive action on immigration. cnn's senior crime and justice correspondent shimon prokupecz joined ice for a ride along before trump took office. for a firsthand look at the challenges they are going to face in sanctuary cities like here in new york. >> all right. good morning, everybody. >> on this cold. >> new york morning. >> the first. >> subject that we have is going to. >> be a 22 year old ecuadorian

male. >> he was. convicted of rape of a minor here in new york city. >> we're obviously eager to apprehend. >> this guy and get him. >> back into custody. >> in the pre-dawn darkness of new york city. >> last month. >> men and women of a u.s. immigration and. customs enforcement team briefed on that morning's mission. >> just be safe, guys, and let's go do our job. >> yeah, we're going to. >> attempt to apprehend on the corner. >> we're now outside a home in flushing, queens. we're waiting for an individual to come out with the teams here in flushing. this is an individual who got into this country was a got away, meaning he didn't come officially through the border. and he has been here in the streets of new york city. he actually was convicted of rape. and now the ero teams, the ice teams are trying to take him off the streets. >> ero stands for. >> enforcement and removal operations. >> the work takes patience. >> you saw that guy. >> across.

>> the street. >> in front. >> of you? >> yes. it's not our target. >> but finally. >> he's walking toward the corner with a backpack. >> there he is. right there espalda. por favor. espalda. >> at the ice offices. >> in manhattan. >> ronaldo. >> ana luisa. >> is processed and fingerprinted. he chose not to speak to cnn. despite the seemingly. successful operation. ken janello. >> the. >> head of ice new york city. is frustrated. >> we were able to. >> take him down. >> with no issue. >> this this is the way you would prefer it to be done. >> in front of me? >> um, actually, i would prefer to take custody of the individual from nypd or the department of corrections. >> new york city. has sanctuary laws that limit local law enforcement's ability to coordinate with federal immigration authorities, even in certain cases involving convicted felons in the country illegally. ana luisa pleaded guilty to rape and was released after serving his sentence of 273

days.
