remains have been recovered. of the 67 people who perished in that crash, cranes are now on site to assist in the recovery operation near reagan national airport. and our gabe cohen is there. gabe, you were in the room asking questions as the response teams gave that update just a short time ago. what did you learn? >> yes. so, jess, it was a significant update. as you mentioned, dive teams have now recovered and identified 55 of the victims who died in that crash. that means 12 people, 12 of those victims are still missing in the potomac river. and so now they're going to start this lift operation. at first daylight tomorrow, at first light tomorrow, i should say you mentioned the the barge, the crane that is there at the scene. they have brought in all of this equipment because they are going to start lifting pieces of the airplane out of the water, hoping that it's going to help them locate and be able to recover those 12 people who are still missing as part of the procedure, as they are lifting out those that wreckage,

if they do spot any of those victims, they will stop the work. they will send divers into the water to be able to safely and respectfully remove those victims. i spoke with the fire chief. i asked him a question just a few minutes ago about this operation and what they expect. here's our exchange. take a listen. how confident are you that your team knows where those additional 12 victims are in the water, and that you will be able to recover everyone who died in the crash? >> so it is my belief they were going to recover everyone if we knew where they were though, we would. we would already have them out. so we have some work to do. as the salvage operation goes on and we will absolutely stay here and search. and until such point as we have everybody, we believe we're going to be able to recover all of the victims. but no, we don't know where they they all are at this point. >> and just look, they have been cleared. this is going to be a heavy lift in more ways than

one. this could take a week, but it is so important to the crews out there that they are able to recover and identify all 67 of those victims. and so much of the importance there is really about the families of those victims. i want to show you this moment this morning, so powerful where officials and first responders actually brought family members of those victims out to the end of runway 33 here at reagan, to the potomac to lay a wreath into the water, to have a moment at the wreckage site. and it really speaks to the scale of loss that we are talking about with this story. so many families that are still grieving, that are getting information and support from officials here in washington who want answers, just as so many people americans want across the country. uh, the investigation just underway, we still don't have a lot of those answers, but those families are going through so much and just a really powerful moment this morning here along the potomac. >> yeah. gabe, we're looking at video while you're talking. and

you're right, it is just so many people that are grieving right now and our hearts go out to them. gabe cohen thank you so much for your reporting there from reagan national airport. we're also learning more about another deadly plane crash. that's the one in philadelphia that happened on friday night. all four crew members of that medevac jet have now been identified. that plane was set to bring a young girl back to mexico after she received treatment at a philadelphia area hospital. her mother was also on board with her, as well as two pilots, a doctor and a paramedic. philadelphia's mayor saying that crash also killed a person on the ground. it injured 20 additional people. that plane going down in a very highly populated area there, danny freeman is live for us in philadelphia. danny, what more can you tell us that you've learned throughout today? >> jessica, as you noted, that was the biggest thing that we learned today. more information about the people, the crew members specifically, but also

that young girl who were on that plane that crashed on friday night. when it comes to the crew, we learned today that the captain of the flight was alan montoya perales. he was 46. he'd been with the company since 2016. then the copilot was josue de jesus juarez. he'd been the company since december of 2023. doctor raul meza, he was 41. he'd been with the company since 2020. and then the paramedic on board that flight, helping with this medical transport. rodrigo lopez padilla. he'd been with the company since 2023 as well. the company that we're talking about, jet rescue air ambulance, they put out these names because they wanted to say that they are very seasoned. they're very beloved by this company. and certainly their condolences continue to go out there. and i'll just note also, jessica, we learned more about the young girl who was killed in this crash. well, we had reported before she was at shriners children's hospital here in philadelphia getting a procedure. it was an extended stay, folks there at the hospital telling cnn she had formed close bonds with a lot of the other patients there. and

just hours before that crash, they had actually held a goodbye party because they knew that she would be discharged later that day. but ultimately, of course, she was killed in that horrific plane crash. meanwhile, jessica, you can see behind me the investigation is still continuing today. the area still very active amid the destruction. the search still ongoing for that cockpit voice recorder. and also they're still concerned that there may be more victims out there. take a listen to what the managing director of philadelphia said earlier today. >> it is possible there are. still people who are affected by this event, affected by that crash that we don't. >> know about. >> so, as we. >> said yesterday and the day before. if there's somebody. >> who you. >> think might have been in this area and they're missing and they haven't checked in and you can't reach them, or they live there, call 911. don't be afraid to do that. >> now, jessica, as you noted earlier, we learned that the number of those injured by this crash rose from 19 to 22. five

people still in the hospital, three of whom are in critical condition. but the silver lining that we learned today is still at this point. there have been no more confirmed fatalities. we hope that number stays the way it is. jessica. >> we certainly do. danny freeman there in philadelphia for us, thank you very much. and i want to bring in cnn aviation analyst peter goelz. now, he's also a former ntsb managing director. peter, thank you so much for being here with us as we continue to get new information today about, especially this dc plane crash. we heard from those dc officials just a short time ago, really focusing in on those recovery efforts and really talking about the incredible care they are taking and how precise they are trying to be as they work to recover all of those victims from that plane crash. >> well, you know, family assistance. >> is a relatively new. assignment for the ntsb. >> it wasn't. >> until 1996 that congress and the. >> president gave ntsb the

authority. >> to operate. >> a family assistance. >> program at mass transportation. >> casualty events. before that. >> it was very spotty. >> and i. >> have to say that this is one of the finest, uh, aspects of the ntsb effort. uh, they understand, uh, the devastation that these kinds of events can take place, and they are incredibly sensitive to the needs of the families. so it was not surprising that they had the, uh, you know, memorial walk by or service this this morning. families need to have a continuing sense that they are at the top of the priority list. and in this case, they are. >> mhm mhm. and i just want to zoom out for a second and speak more broadly just about safety there at reagan national. there a lot for years i think people were saying it's really busy

here. a disaster could be waiting to happen. there. ringing some alarm bells. do you agree with that kind of analysis? and i would imagine you think that changes are going to come after this. >> there's no question that the congestion at the, at reagan national is going to be one of the top priorities of this investigation. the idea that this is the most congested airport you've got for commercial flights, that you would have a helicopter corridor. transversing next to the airport, in which at one critical point, only 300ft. separated, approaching uh, aircraft and military helicopters is really just unbelievable. who thought that was a good idea and allowed it to go on for so long? that's going to be reviewed. it will be changed, as will be the use of

the helicopters. you know, were they always being used as a part of the national defense process, or were there other uses being made of these, uh, of these choppers? so i think that's going to be a number one concern. and you can count that there will be a review of the number of slots at reagan. you know, slots are landing and takeoff, and they have increased them a number of times, including just a year ago, where they added more slots over the objections of the virginia delegation and the airport. >> yeah, they were very concerned about that. and yet they went ahead. lawmakers went ahead and added that. all right. peter goelz, thank you very much. we always appreciate it. >> my pleasure. thank you. >> from cars and tequila to your favorite fruits and vegetables, the president saying prices on key goods could go up because of his new tariffs. plus how president trump is already moving to make good on his vow to strike back at the justice

immediately bring prices down, starting on day one. >> so we are now two weeks into president trump's presidency, and he's now imposing stiff tariffs on the country's biggest trading partners mexico, canada and china. those countries now promising to retaliate. and economists warn this could all mean higher prices on everyday things like food, clothing, alcohol, sneakers, toys. some experts predict it could cost more than $2,600 a year for the typical u.s. household. cnn's alayna treene is joining us now from west palm beach. and elena, the president acknowledging today that, yeah, there might be what he called some short term pain here. >> that's exactly right, jessica. just hours, really, after he had signed those tariffs on mexico, canada and china, he acknowledged what many economists, people on capitol hill, as well as even some of his own advisors. i know in a previous life, of course, have been warning for some time now, which is that these tariffs may

directly impact american consumers, as you mentioned. we did hear the president acknowledge this in a post to truth social this morning. i want to read for you just some of that post. it was a bit lengthy, but i thought this line was in particularly, you know, very notable. it said, quote, this will be the golden age of america. will there be some pain? yes, maybe and maybe not. but we will make america great again and it will all be worth the price that must be paid. i really think that last line there, it will all be worth the price that must be paid. it's kind of a warning to a lot of people who have been concerned about these tariffs. look, the president has been very clear that he believes that the united states neighbors, particularly, of course, mexico and canada, are not doing enough to stem the flow of migrants and drugs, specifically fentanyl, from coming into the united states. but one thing that is clear is that americans may at least temporarily be facing some of this pain early on. now, one thing as well that is not clear,

jessica, is that, you know, when higher prices may actually come into effect. these tariffs are slated to be implemented starting 12:01 a.m. on tuesday. and there's also really at this point, no real off ramp that we see for how canada and mexico specifically can respond in a way that would appease donald trump. he himself had said that, you know, on friday there are no concessions, and there wasn't really anything that these countries could do to change his mind or kind of stave off these tariffs. >> and, elena, what are we hearing from leaders of china, canada and mexico? >> well, we have heard from a number of these countries that they plan to retaliate. we actually heard from canadian prime minister justin trudeau himself last night, addressing this in response to the tariffs being signed. take a listen. >> canada will be responding to the u.s. trade action with 25%

tariffs against $155 billion worth of american goods. this will include immediate tariffs on $30 billion worth of goods as of tuesday, followed by further tariffs on $125 billion worth of american products in 21 days time to allow canadian companies and supply chains to seek to find alternatives. >> now, jessica, we also heard trudeau say, quote, we don't want to be here when addressing reporters last night about this. he also said that he had been trying to get in contact with the president in recent days, but that trump had not returned his call. now, similarly, we heard from beijing. they said, quote, corresponding countermeasures to firmly safeguard its own rights and interests will be placed in retaliation to these tariffs. we also heard mexico's president claudia sheinbaum, say that she's instructing the secretary of economy to implement a plan b

that they have been working on. she says it includes tariff and non-tariff measures in defense of mexico's interests. so we are likely to see these retaliation efforts from these different countries. one thing, of course, also notable is that in the tariffs in the fine print of what donald trump signed yesterday, there is a retaliation clause that means that at any time the president does have the right to raise these tariffs further, if he believes these countries are responding in a way that he doesn't like. jessica. >> all right. alayna treene with the very latest from west palm beach. thank you very much for that. business groups and corporate america taking aim at these tariffs, warning that they will hurt american families up in supply chains, significantly hurt the relationship between all three countries and weaken u.s. manufacturing. the wall street journal editorial board putting it bluntly, calling this, quote, the dumbest trade war in history. joining us now, cnn senior political analyst ron brownstein. um, ron, okay, let's just play devil's

advocate for a second. what if all of this is wrong? and what if trump actually gets these these countries to do what he wants and and these tariffs go into effect and it's it's totally fine. is that possible? >> i you. >> basically have to repeal. >> the law of economics for the tariffs to go into effect and have no impact. right. i mean, there's there's no question in the economic literature about who ultimately pays the price for tariffs. it's the consumers in the country imposing the tariffs. you know, it's not clear what is the problem. >> at. >> the northern border that trump is trying to solve in terms of migration and fentanyl. and even at the southern border. it's not clear why this mechanism, as opposed to negotiating with mexico is a is a more effective way to pursue, you know, the other policy goals that he's listing. i mean, donald trump was elected, jessica, the exit polling is very clear for trump voters. the number one issue was inflation. and now as he takes office, you know, with with a conspicuous

focus on other issues to begin with, not really any initiative other than arguing that energy, more energy production will bring down prices. um, he is moving in the opposite direction. i mean, right in time for the super bowl. a trump tax on guacamole in effect, or a trump tax on lumber from canada that will push up the price of new housing construction. i mean, these are policies that are extremely high risk, not only for the economy, but for the administration. politically. >> mhm. and i spoke you mentioned canada. i spoke with the premier of ontario last night, doug ford. i just i want to play a clip of what he said. >> it's going to be terrible. it's going to make americans poor. it's going to create inflation. it's going to make canadians poorer. uh, it's going to really hurt both economies and all all we're saying is let's work together. please do not lump us in with mexico and china. >> canada certainly is trying desperately to say, hang on a

second. to your point, ron, we are not mexico when it comes to fentanyl and the level the amount of fentanyl that's coming in. we are not mexico when it comes to immigration. we're not china when it comes to what they're trying to do to america. and they're kind of waving their hands saying, we don't even know what we can do to make this stop. and it is it is interesting to to wonder and ponder how that might change our relationship with one of our very closest allies. >> and neighbor. i mean, i thought that was kind of a i watched that interview. i thought that was a strange, somewhat strange line of argument because mexico and canada, i think, have more chance to push back at this if they remain united rather than kind of canada throwing mexico under the bus. um, but look, i think, you know, when you when you consider the, the broad ramifications of this. i mean, mexico is our largest supplier of fruits and vegetables, which will now be more expensive. canada is our largest supplier of lumber for housing

construction, which will now be more expensive. they are both integrated intensely into our domestic auto industry, with parts and products moving back and forth across these borders regularly. that will now face the potential of substantial disruption. and that's before you even get to the the issues of what can come from the retaliation. you know, the american farm bureau, which is a pretty trumpy organization, put out a statement worrying about the impact of this. mexico, canada and china account for half of our exports of farm goods. and even though trump in his first term spent a lot of taxpayer money to basically pacify farmers by sending them checks. um, you know, there was a long term cost. some of the markets that we lost, particularly in china, have never come back. for example, for american soybeans, they've moved to other suppliers like brazil. so this is a big gamble with the global economy, with the american economy, with the cost of living, which was, i think, by any, you know,

reasonable analysis. the principal issue that caused donald trump to win was the belief that joe biden had mismanaged the inflation. life was cheaper when trump was president the first time, and therefore it would be cheaper when he's president again. the tension there was always that economists who looked at his program, particularly the tariffs and the mass deportation, always warned that it had the potential to rekindle inflation. and that may be the road he's heading down. >> and the question becomes how flexible and how willing are people to go along with it? ron brownstein, thank you so much. we really appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> thousands of fbi employees could be on the chopping block as the trump administration asks for information from agents who worked on january 6th and trump related investigations. we are talking with the agency's former deputy director about the impact of such a move. that's next. >> the assignment with audie cornish. listen, wherever you get your podcasts empower.

are to get pushed out, what kind of risk? because that could be over thousands of people. what kind of risk does this create for the fbi and our nation's safety? >> yeah. >> thousands of agents. who did nothing. >> other than. >> respond to the orders of their supervisors and of people at headquarters who likely sent. >> them, leads. >> to the field offices where they work to conduct some investigative activity and maybe even execute a lawful search warrant or arrest warrant signed by a federal judge. so the idea that these people are essentially being virtually rounded up now submitted, being demanded to fill out what i'm told is a 12. question survey, which is mostly yes or no answers to identify themselves as people who are who may be targeted for some sort of retribution or punishment. it's absolutely disgraceful. these are people who are civil servants. they enjoy the protections of the civil service

program. the fbi has an extensive process of if there are allegations of misconduct against specific employees, those things are investigated. they are given due process. and ultimately the office of professional responsibility administers an adjudication. nowhere in my entire 21 year history in the fbi did i ever see anything like this, where employees are literally being rounded up for political reasons, for cases they did their lawful and expected work on? it's absolutely ridiculous. >> as a retired agent said to us yesterday, they you swear your allegiance to the constitution when you become an fbi officer or agent, not to any particular president or agenda of a certain president. that's right. republican senator lindsey. yeah. go ahead. >> yeah. you know, i just wanted to say, agents do what the law and their supervisors command them to do. and four years ago today, two agents in the miami field office. agent alpa and agent schwarzenberger were doing

exactly that when they tried to execute a lawful search warrant at the residence of a child predator, and they were killed for doing that work. that's the kind of work that fbi agents stand up every day, raise their hand and do. according to the fbi priorities and their responsibilities under their under their jobs and according to the law. and to think that they're being retaliated against like this is just it's outrageous. >> republican senator lindsey graham appeared to suggest that agents assigned to these cases should not be punished. he talked this morning. i want to listen to that clip. >> now. >> if you're an. agent working on january 6th case or some other case, and you. >> are. >> assigned to. >> do. >> it and you. >> know you shouldn't be punished. >> just. >> for doing your. >> job. >> do you think that's how this will will shake out? >> there's no other purpose for conducting a data call like this, for sending out a survey to the to the particular

population of agents calling for this sort of information. there's no other purpose. there's no purpose other than identifying a group of people for potential retribution. punishment reassignment, maybe firing, who knows. so yeah, the senator is right. that shouldn't happen. this shouldn't happen either. if you want to change the direction of the fbi, you don't like the fact that they're investigating political figures from the republican party, then fine. they're about to have the opportunity to put in their own fbi director, and he can change course and answer for those changes any way that he desires. but to try to take action against these employees is is just vindictive and probably unlawful, although it will wreak havoc in their lives in the years, it will take them to undo, to undo this sort of damage to the legal system. >> and the atlantic wrote this. they said there's no precedent for the mass termination of fbi personnel in this fashion.

current and former officials were stunned by the scale of trump's anticipated purge, which is taking aim at senior leaders as well as working level agents. as you were just just alluding to that, this is really unprecedented. and i just want to continue to kind of get at the fact, too, that if you lose that many agents, getting new agents in training them, as you're saying, undoing, kind of unwinding all of this logistically is is really hard. it takes a long time. >> the fbi will feel the result of this in the worst possible way. there's between 12 and 13,000 special agents in the entire fbi assigned all over the country and really all over the globe. that is not an enormous number, you know, compare that to the new york city police department, which has over 35,000 police officers working in the five boroughs. so that number of fbi agents, if you take 1000 agents or several hundred agents out of that number, you are critically. understaffing programs like

crimes against children, like terrorism, like counterintelligence, those programs will be diminished with a with the resulting loss of personnel, experienced people, highly trained people, most of them likely in the middle of their very productive careers to lose that kind of experience and capability is over a political gamesmanship. is is just it will be devastating. >> and again, just to hammer home your point, which is leadership at the fbi, they you know, if if you want to go in a new direction and as trump said, you know, clean out the fbi and start fresh. you can do that with new leadership. but again, these line agents that we're talking about, these field agents, these people that work, these cases that you're talking about here, that are just doing the job that they signed up to do, they are assigned cases and go do those cases. what happens next for them? what what do they do? i don't know if you've talked to any of them, but what advice would you give them?

>> you know, the advice i would and have given some folks is to stand your ground, continue going to work, doing the work that you that you treasure, the work that the american people rely on you to perform. follow the law. follow the directions that are that's given to you by your supervisors and demand on due process. make no explanations or give any statements about how or why you conducted the work you did on those cases, except that they were assigned to you and you did your job. and i fully expect that's what most will do. and they'll play this out and see where it ends up. but i want to be perfectly clear, you know, leveling the seventh floor at the hoover building and forcing this massive group, well, not a massive group of small group of very senior leadership employees. we know that's happened over the last few days. it's not a good idea. and those people didn't deserve to be treated that way either. i'm told all of the people that left

had the opportunity to retire, and they took that option, so they're not in quite as grave a danger as these line level folks. but, um, but it isn't unheard of for a new director to come in and want to make changes in the leadership team for whatever reason. but this sort of targeting of line level employees, absolutely unprecedented and really damaging. >> all right. andrew mccabe, thank you very much. we appreciate it. >> thanks. >> ahead, some migrant families are now afraid to leave their home because of ice raids in their cities. we're going to meet some of the volunteers supporting their basic needs as immigration crackdowns ramp up. you're in the cnn newsroom. >> 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. >> super man. the christopher reeve. >> story tonight at eight on cnn. >> this is what it feels like to

joining us now. and, elizabeth, tonight's show may be a little bit different. what can we expect? >> that is right. so it is the grammys. it's the biggest night in music. but it is the first show to happen. angeles. so a good portion of the show. to raise funds for those who are suffering so much loss now. lady gaga and bruno mars are going to do a performance together in honor of fire relief. and i have to tell you, last night i went to clive davis's annual grammy bash. it was the 50th anniversary of his party, and they raised millions of dollars. now, earlier this week, i sat down with the ceo of the recording academy and the executive producer of tonight's show. let's take a look. >> like last april. that's what i said. the i did it. >> amid a backdrop of tragedy, the nation's deadliest air disaster since 2001 and the most

destructive wildfires in southern california history. >> grammys. and this platform is cool, but it's not the most important thing in the world. >> recording academy ceo harvey mason jr. and grammys executive producer ben winston are tasked with putting on a show that some thought should be called off. there have been some people who say award season should be canceled. this is not what we need right now. >> if you could actually take the grammys where we know we've got an audience who are going to watch it, we know we've got the biggest stars in the whole world that are sitting there, and we bring real awareness to what's happened. we do some really serious fundraising for the causes that need it so much. right now, we pay tribute to our first responders. we showcase l.a. businesses. surely that is worth doing rather than not doing. >> winston and mason jr. sat down with cnn during a break in construction of the grammys set for them, this show feels personal. >> i know one guy that lost his entire studio, burned all his

collections, all his instruments, and this is how they make a living. so if we were to postpone the show, we wouldn't be able to raise the money that we need to to support those people. >> before this happened, i probably knew the name of four of my neighbors. i reckon i now know about like 23 of them. like, there is a sense of community right now in los angeles that i personally haven't seen before, where people are helping each other, and i think we can reflect that on the show. >> they point out the majority of working musicians in l.a. aren't wealthy superstars. plus, the grammys telecast brings income to 6500 workers who depend on award season paychecks. >> the drivers, the florists, the builders, the pr people, some of whom have lost their homes. >> that said, the grammys will still be the grammys, with performances from pop stars like chapel, roan, charli xcx and sabrina carpenter. country star brad paisley and legends like stevie wonder. >> it will be incredible performances, but there's also going to be a layer of of

emotion and heart and storytelling about the heroes. >> and if you're in it for, well, the awards, there's that too. the beyonce question you brought up the race for best album. yeah. is this the year for beyonce? >> i'm going to give you a hot take. i feel like she's got a 1 in 8 chance of winning that thing. i'm serious. >> statistically, that is absolutely accurate. factual. no fact checking needed. >> that's all you're going to get out. >> of. >> us. >> so the big question for tonight really is, is beyonce finally going to win for album of the year? believe it or not, she's never won in that category. but she already has made history. she is the most nominated artist in grammy history. and in fact she already has won one award tonight in the pre-grammy ceremony. 'll see. but i have to tell you, there are 13,000 voting members, so if she doesn't win, it's not just one person's fault. so we will see jessica. >> it will be fun. she should. i mean, she's a beyonce elizabeth
