potomac. now examining the helicopter's black box as recovery efforts continue. this morning all right. it is 5 a.m. here on the east coast. a live look at the washington monument here in our nation's capital. the darkened white house there in front at this hour. good morning, everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you with us, president donald trump plunging the united states into a trade war on several fronts over the weekend, slapping tariffs on goods from longtime trading partners mexico and canada, along with more on imports from china. he says he might not be done yet. those tariffs include a 25% markup on goods from canada and from mexico. china will see a 10% tariff, and all of these changes are set to take effect tomorrow. the announcement from president trump, drawing fierce public reaction in canada. stores started pulling american

products off the shelves, like whiskey from tennessee or bourbon from kentucky. headlines across canadian media have been consumed with the coverage of the unfolding trade war. reports on what will become more expensive and why this is happening, and who is to blame. >> oh. >> fans. a canadian sporting event seemed to know exactly who to blame. that's them loudly booing the american national anthem. it happened before an nba game in toronto, and also before a hockey match in ottawa. canadian prime minister justin trudeau, appealing directly to americans while pushing back against the tariffs, which threaten his nation's economy. >> this is a choice that, yes. >> will harm canadians. but beyond that. >> it will have real consequences for you. >> the american people. if president trump. >> wants to usher. >> in a new golden age for the united states, the better path

is to partner with canada, not to punish u.s. >> president trump, unmoved by the backlash from canada in a post on truth social. the president claims, quote, we don't need anything they have. end quote. and once again pushed the idea that, quote, canada should become our cherished 51st state. >> i disagree with the leadership of canada and something is going to happen there. but if they want to play the game, i don't mind. we can play the game all they want. >> play the game all they want. canada and mexico and china all signaling they are ready to play the game. canada announcing retaliatory tariffs on 25 of 25% on $30 billion worth of american goods. and in three weeks, that number could add another $125 billion. mexico's president expected to announce her country's actions here in just a couple of hours. and china rolling out, quote,

corresponding countermeasures. now, president trump acknowledging that u.s. consumers may face some pain. >> we may have short term, some little pain. and people understand that. but long term, the united states has been ripped off by virtually every country in the world. we have deficits with almost every country. not every country, but almost. and we're going to change it. it's been unfair. that's why we owed $36 trillion. >> all right. joining us now to discuss stephanie lai. she's politics reporter at bloomberg news. stephanie, good morning to you. nice to see you. so what has the reaction been so far to what the president has announced here? because we're already seeing stock market futures showing a little bit of nervousness. >> yeah, you're totally right on that. >> there is a hand. there's a bit of volatility. >> right now. >> you know three things that i'm looking. >> at right now. >> oil prices. >> jumped over the weekend as the news broke about the tariffs. you know nasdaq s&p 500. all these futures are down

just 1 to 2%. it seems like and on top of that you know my colleagues are reporting that automakers are expecting a $3,000 price increase on cars being made. i think the industry is expecting about a $60 billion cost just given the tariffs. so there's already some sort of concern from the market side of things. now on the dollar dollar prices did rise. and part of that is the expectation that inflationary pressures on the u.s. will continue, and that interest rates will also stay at its current level. and to president trump's point, there is sort of an expectation that the u.s. will not be harmed as much as foreign foreign countries, which is possibly why the dollar rose slightly over the weekend. >> what are the implications for everyday americans of the stronger dollar? >> it does depend on the situation, on the countries. but, you know, i think generally speaking, there is sort of an expectation that prices will continue to increase. and this isn't necessarily what president trump is hoping for. you know, much of his campaign promise was we're going to bring the cost down for everyday americans. and a huge part of

that agenda point was by increasing u.s. energy. now, we haven't seen that happen yet. so it's not entirely clear what that impact will be. right now, it is possible that we see some sort of consumer price raise in the near future while we wait for energy production to sort of catch up to speed. >> well, and of course, that's what the president there was basically saying, there's going to be some short term pain. let's watch what senator mitch mcconnell had to say over the weekend. he did an interview with 60 minutes. take a look. >> it will drive. >> the cost of everything up. >> in other words, it'll be. >> paid for by. american consumers. >> i mean, why would. >> you want. >> to get. >> in a fight with your. >> allies over this? >> why would you want to get in a fight with your allies over this? now, of course, mcconnell, ostensibly still in trump's republican party, but clearly from a different wing of it. >> yeah, no, that is a really good point. and i think what everyone is looking at is just sort of seeing how are these countries responding? a big part of what we had seen two weekends ago with the columbia tariff threats was essentially if the

countries would fold to trump's whim. and i think what we're seeing this time around is very different. you know, there isn't that feeling of we're going to just bend to the whim of donald trump. there is sort of some pushback from all of these countries and allies. and so this is definitely an interesting turn of events. and we'll see how this impacts the u.s. economy. >> yes. and of course, the the premier of ontario, who isn't necessarily someone who there's some trumpy trumpian elements to him as a politician, but he's writing about the lcbo, which buys it's a wholesaler. it's the only wholesaler of alcohol in ontario. they sell nearly $1 billion worth of american wine, beer, spirits and seltzers. not any more, he says. there's never been a better time to choose an amazing ontario made or canadian made product. as always, please drink responsibly. stephanie lai, thank you very much for being here this morning, i appreciate it. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, new details about the moments before that midair collision over the potomac as new a new

is mary schiavo, cnn aviation analyst, former inspector general at the department of transportation. mary, good morning. it's always good to see you. um, can you talk a little bit about some of the disparity that we've learned that seems to exist or potentially exists between the data that the controller and the tower was seeing about the flight path of the helicopter, the altitude, specifically of the helicopter, compared to where we know the helicopter actually was in the sky. >> yes. and that's one. >> of the most. >> important developments. >> so far in this. >> case, along with the recovery. >> of the helicopter. >> combined black box. >> with the cockpit voice. >> recorder and flight data. >> recorder into one. >> that will. >> give them. >> of. >> course. >> the best. >> way to figure. >> out the discrepancy in. >> the pictures. >> and what was occurring in each cockpit. the discrepancy is. highly important. >> and the ntsb, at least in their. >> announcements on saturday. >> uh, made it clear that they believe that the aircraft. >> had the reliable.

>> readout and that they were at 325ft plus. or -25ft. and that makes. >> a lot of sense, because. >> in an aircraft, you have. >> so many pieces of equipment that rely. >> on your altimeter. >> and you get new. altimeter settings throughout your flight. and again, just before landing, you. >> get the altimeter. >> settings, because when you're coming into land, it's like flying down a staircase. you can't go to your landing altitude until you do the. >> step downs. >> to. >> the airport. >> and so. the ntsb indicated they're going with the 325, which leaves the big mystery. then why did the helicopter readout at 200ft? >> and then that number. >> was also. >> in the tower. so that's. >> a huge, uh, piece, a piece of news and a huge development in the case because it can point to equipment problems. maybe the equipment wasn't calibrated on all the planes are in the towers. when's the last time it was looked at in the tower? and by the way, that tower equipment is. maintained by. >> contractors. >> um, that's not the air traffic controllers fault. so

that's a big issue in the case. but the flight data recorders from both planes, they will hold the answer because altitude is recorded on all the flight data recorders. >> so remarkable. mary. the other question, of course, is what was happening with the plane itself, with the american airlines jet. and there were some questions from the ntsb over the weekend about a potential upward pitch. let's watch a little bit of what those ntsb investigators told reporters, and we'll talk about it on the other side. take a look. >> fdr data showed. >> the airplane beginning to increase its. >> pitch. >> sounds of impact. >> were audible. >> about one second later. >> was it trying to pull. >> up before the collision? is that what you were saying? >> i can tell you at one point, very close. >> to the impact. >> there was a slight. >> change in pitch. >> an increase in pitch. that is something that we will get you

more detail on. >> mary, what does that tell you? that increase in pitch. >> well, it increase. >> in pitch is. >> you know, in layman's terms is pointing the nose higher in the sky. but with one second you don't really have time to get away from a rapidly approaching collision object. i mean, the space rocket could not have gotten away from that, but it does tell us that they saw the helicopter approaching at the last second, literally at the last second, and tried to climb up, you know, put the nose up in the sky and climb up out of the way. but one second isn't enough time for them to do anything. it's just heartbreaking. >> mary, what are your biggest questions here going forward? >> well, now, because of the discrepancy in the readouts from the altitudes, and this should not be that kind of discrepancy. it's so important to set your altimeter and to calibrate your equipment. and that is, you know, somewhere something, you know, either equipment's

malfunctioning or someone did not. do you know, the kinds of work in calibration that they have to do? but that is a huge question. yes, there are human errors, but there will also be equipment errors. uh, but again, who you know, who and what did not get the right altitude reading. and again, that in a scene environment, which is what this helicopter was. remember the helicopter asked the tower for visual clearance, meaning the helicopter accepted the responsibility to see and avoid the aircraft and the aircraft under total air traffic control, had the rights and was in the right place and was heading to the runway at that point, the landing aircraft has the right of way, so that equipment failure, you name it, doesn't excuse the see and avoid obligation of the helicopter. but there are just so many questions about that equipment that must be answered because this is the busiest runway in the world. we are in the country. we have to figure out why they had the wrong altitudes and it could save lives in the future. so they will do it. they will figure it out.

>> all right. mary schiavo, for us this morning. thank you, mary, really appreciate it. thank you. all right. coming up here on cnn this morning, thousands of fbi agents ordered by the justice department to answer questions about their role in the january 6th investigations. plus, beyonce winning big last night at the grammys. >> this ain't texas. >> ain't no. >> hold on. >> hey lay your. cards down i brought in ensure max protein with 30g of protein. >> those who. >> tried me felt more. >> energy in just two weeks. >> here, i'll take that. >> ensure. max protein, 30g. >> protein. one gram of sugar. >> and a. >> protein blend to feed muscles up to seven hours. >> so i got you a little. >> something. warming for him, tingling for her. >> should we. >> experience the thrill of bringing them together? >> say more. >> than i love you. say i want you with me, yours and mine. >> climb. inspector has five doctor lawyers, the most of any

overnight that the trump administration plans to shut down the federal agency that leads america's international humanitarian aid programs. two top security officials at the u.s. agency for international development are now on leave after they tried to block officials from doge from gaining access to their systems. the doge officials went to the usaid headquarters in washington, d.c., looking to access security systems and personnel files, three sources tell cnn. according to two of those sources, the doge officials also wanted access to classified information. and they did eventually access the headquarters. the agency delivers billions of dollars in international humanitarian aid annually, and has been around for more than 60 years. it was created by former president john f kennedy. over the weekend, president donald trump blasted the organization it's been run by a bunch of radical lunatics, and we're getting them out.

>> usaid, run by radical lunatics, and we're getting them out. and then we'll make a. decision. >> last night, elon musk going a step further, sharing on x, the president agreed the organization should be shut down. >> what we have. here is. >> is not. >> an apple with a worm in it. but we. >> have actually. >> just a bowl. >> of worms. >> if you've got an apple, it's got a worm and you can take. >> the worm out. >> but if you've got actually just a ball of. >> worms. >> it's hopeless. and usaid is a bowl of worms. there is no. >> apple. >> and when there is no apple, you've just got to basically get rid of the whole thing. >> basically get rid of the whole thing. joining us now is axios publisher nicholas johnston. nick good morning. >> good morning. >> good to see you. there's been a lot going on over the weekend. but let's start with what we heard from musk on this usaid question. is it legal? can they just shut it down? >> well, there's one way to

find out. >> i mean, i think a lot. >> of what. >> we're up. against again, in the second trump. >> dimension. >> same as the first, is testing these kinds of. >> norms, right? like. >> is it okay or is it legal? >> is it permissible. >> by congress to purge dozens of inspector generals? we've already had congress push back on that. can you begin to unilaterally pull these kinds of spending things? can you begin to unilaterally pull this kind of money? who's going to stop them? we've seen on some of these things that they go to the federal courts, and there's immediate injunctions, but usaid is a congressionally chartered organization. it's got billions of dollars appropriated by congress. will congress have an interest in this? i know that there was a democrat or a democrat. senate or a democrat. house would be subpoenas flying. they'd be people dragged before congress. but we're still waiting to see how pliant the republican congress will be on any of those kinds of things. i think that's really the only real stopgap. >> do you know anything about what musk's personal interest is in usaid? because some of these things he's doing is clear, like the faa, right, interacts with space x. yeah. what about this one? >> i'm learning more than i even want to know. spent about an hour early this morning. >> scrolling through why we.

>> invited you on x. >> i mean. >> it's a it's. >> a web of conspiracy theories. like, look, a lot of people say, you know, about usaid is like, well, there's a famine and the bags of wheat show up. that's the label that's on it. they've done incredible amounts of work on public health around the world. but if you dig into this x conspiracy theory zone, you'll arrive at this pretty standard place where everything on x goes, where it's a conspiracy funded by george soros to somehow perpetuate lawfare on behalf of the deep state. there's a lot of these things being pulled out. so it's like, i don't we don't know, like sort of really what's driving at this? it's just being driven by some kind of conspiracy theory that's being shared a lot on the internet. >> i mean, in many ways, this is a perpetuation of the complete rejection of ronald reagan republican style of politics, because, i mean, this is yes, it started under jfk, but it is a promulgation of soft power, american soft power into places. i mean, the chinese, for example, have cottoned on to this, right? they're spending tons and tons of money in

countries around the world to try to to get a foothold. this was a way that americans bought goodwill and influence. >> this is a definite where people pushing back on this are really leveling their criticisms that this is a great way to, like, get people in around the world to like america instead of china. those billions of dollars in medical aid, in prenatal care and famine assistance with giant american flags on it. well, thanks, america, that builds a lot of goodwill. and a lot of folks are saying that if that pulls away while china moves in to fill that, i think another big piece to think about here is that doge is created for government efficiency, for budget cutting. this is 1% of the federal budget. it's a very interesting place to begin. the bull in a china shop. actions to try and solve for some of these problems. a very tiny piece of the federal budget. >> briefly, what's the implication of them taking the treasury system? i think it's worth noting that treasury this is not treasury making policy or making decisions about who gets paid. these other agencies throughout the government, social security administration, the irs, et cetera. they tell them what to pay out and he just

does it. but this is like i mean, your social security number, certainly mine is in there somewhere. this is like all kinds of sensitive. >> information interest. i mean, from what our reporting has shown so far that they have a read only ability, they're able to see where the money is going. and that's probably in the pursuit of trying to figure out where it's going to, trying to make those kinds of cuts begin. you begin to turn the knobs on that. exactly to your point, trillions of dollars a year. these are not things that are going to usaid foreign products. these are social security. these are tax refunds. these are bond payments. these are bill payments by the united states federal government. that's where these things can really get exciting. like i was looking through, i was thinking back through elon musk's twitter over the weekend or something he likes to use when things go wrong at spacex or at twitter or at tesla. success is uncertain, but you will. entertainment is guaranteed. i don't think people are going to be entertained if something goes wrong in treasury payment. >> it's one thing when you are doing that, when you are running a social media platform, obviously the stakes are much higher when you are launching rockets into the air, but when you are dealing with people's livelihoods, that is a completely different.

>> i think that's actually where a friction point could show up. >> yeah. thank you for that understatement. nicholas johnston, i appreciate it. all right. also this morning, thousands of fbi agents are faced with a daunting demand. cnn has learned doj has given them a survey asking them to answer 12 questions about their involvement in january 6th investigations. this follows last week's firing of more than a dozen doj officials who investigated president trump. former fbi director andrew mccabe calls this latest development disgraceful. >> 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. >> the threat of president trump's expanded purge of the fbi comes as lawyers are telling fbi agents do not resign. joining me now, cnn national security analyst, michigan state professor shawn turner. shawn,

good morning to you. what is the message that's being sent right now to these thousands of fbi agents who had some connection to these investigations yeah. >> good morning. casey. >> you know. >> that's a great question. and i think the message is really clear. this is sending a clear and unequivocal message that the fbi should. fbi agents should be careful who they attempt to hold accountable for crimes. >> and i. >> think. >> andy mccabe. >> is right. you know, that's a disturbing and absolutely inappropriate role for for any government. look, we're talking about some of the most highly qualified and skilled fbi agents that we have in law enforcement. these are the people who. investigate the fringe groups. and these are some of the people who look at highly technical issues that allow us to go after criminals across this country. so, yeah, this this sends a really chilling message to fbi agents. and i'm really concerned

about what this means for the ability to keep all of us safe going forward. >> shawn, can you help us understand a little bit about how this might affect what the fbi is doing every day? as i was reading some of the coverage on my way in this morning, this idea that if there is a case that you're assigned to work on that might impact someone that donald trump is friends with or cares about, might that impact an investigation? >> yeah. you know, look, here's a couple of things i think we need to be really clear about. we've heard that this survey and this communication, these communications have gone to dozens of fbi agents. but to be really clear about this, this case is one in which we're not talking about dozens of fbi agents. there would have been hundreds of fbi agents who in some way would have been involved in investigating the

insurgency that happened on january 6th. and when you think about, as i said before, when you think about the amount of skill, when you think about the the capability of those agents, we're talking about either removing or reassigning or in some other way, eliminating the ability of those agents to continue to do the work of keeping us safe every day. so, you know, this really is the kind of thing that, you know, movies are made about. and it's the kind of thing that we see in other countries. the important thing here is the messaging that's gone out to those agencies, those agents. this is not the time for agents to resign and mask. this is the time to continue to do what we're doing here and to spread the word about what's happening here and to really help people understand the implications for for the safety of each and every one of us. the implications are quite serious because, as i said, we will not be able to track individuals. we will lose some of those skills, those highly technical skills. and we're also going to devastate the lives of a lot of fbi agents. and i think that's really important, too. >> it is. all right. shawn

turner, thanks very much for your time this morning, sir. i really appreciate it. >> thanks, casey. >> all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning, east palestine. two years later, we're going to talk to congressman chris deluzio about that toxic train derailment that devastated an ohio town. plus, a stunning trade featuring two of the nba's biggest superstars. >> you make good choices. >> always planning ahead. >> like to not just chase. >> a career. >> but one day. follow your. heart. with ambition like that, you need someone. who elevates advice to a craft. at ubs, we match your vision with insight and expertise. to shape a unique. outcome for. >> you. >> advice is our. >> craft.

blood in the white of the eye. tell your doctor right away if you have any side effects. >> act on facts to slow ga. ask your retina specialist about sivagiri. >> no. >> just the. >> facts. >> at morgan stanley old school hard work meets bold new thinking. partnering to unlock new ideas, to create new legacies, to transform a company. industry economy generation. because grit and vision working in lockstep puts you on the path to your full potential. old school grit, new world ideas, morgan stanley. >> hi, susan. >> honey. >> yeah. >> i respect. >> that. >> but that cough. >> looks pretty bad. try this. robitussin, honey. >> the real. >> honey you love. plus the powerful cough relief you need. >> mind if i root through. >> your trash? >> robitussin. the only. >> brand with.

not fair. it could be your family. sorry. i didn't mean to take it out on you. it's just. it's just hard. sorry. >> it is hard. in washington, d.c. this weekend, grief and frustration as these communities continue to search for answers about the devastating plane collision over the potomac river that killed 67 people last week. the ntsb, also now busy launching an investigation into yet another plane crash, this time in northeast philadelphia, where a medevac jet crashed friday night, killing seven people and injuring at least 22. the two deadly incidents, raising questions about how to mitigate these transportation disasters and all of this unfolding ahead of the two year anniversary of that toxic train derailment in east palestine, ohio, where communities were also left begging for help and where authorities were making similar promises of steadfast support. >> we need help. >> we do. >> you don't bring families

back. with their kids and their loved ones and then tell them to scrub with dawn. >> i think the question is long term. >> is someone going to be here a year from now, two years from now, to come back and test the water, test the soil? >> i'm very clear when i. >> say as. >> long as it takes, we will go. >> through this. >> process with. >> the with. >> the. >> citizens of. >> east palestine for. >> as long as. >> it. >> takes. >> joining us now, democratic congressman chris deluzio of pennsylvania. his district sits just across the ohio border from where that toxic derailment occurred. congressman, good morning. >> casey. good morning. >> let's start with the derailment. as we mark this anniversary. i mean, you heard there from the epa administrator, the epa administrator at the time, this commitment to keep showing up, to keep coming back until it was all right, until they had answered all of the questions and fixed what the community needed them to fix. have they done that? >> well, we're now into. >> a new. >> administration. >> and i hope.

>> the trump. >> administration continues. >> our federal government's. >> commitment to the folks in east. >> palestine and my constituents. >> in pennsylvania. what our. >> government has failed to do, what the congress has failed to do, is to pass any rail safety legislation. >> we know. >> from the ntsb the recommendations that should be put in place to prevent this. i've had bipartisan legislation for years now that will respond to the east palestine derailment, that make sure the rail industry, which is powerful and lobbies, follows some common sense rules. and the congress has done nothing. i've been encouraging the biden administration. now i'm encouraging the trump administration. let's put pressure on the congress. let's have democrats and republicans come together. many have. but let's pass rail safety legislation. my constituents and our neighbors, they want action. they demand something from the congress. they've gotten nothing. >> really important reminder, especially considering what we heard there from the ntsb chairman who who referenced this in the context of, of course, the deadly plane crashes over the weekend. sir, i also do want

to ask you about what we are seeing unfold because it's going to impact your region in pennsylvania. this, of course, historically a site of much american manufacturing, and this is the president's trade war with canada and mexico. also, of course, some tariffs on china. what impact are these tariffs going to have on your constituents? >> well, as you say, i represent people who have made a lot for this country. we still make steel and a heck of a lot else. and i know just as a lot of my constituents do, smart and strong tariffs and trade enforcement are part of good trade policy. we don't want to live through lousy trade deals, as we have for decades. but to see the president put weaker tariffs on china than canada is crazy. and the cited reason here being tough on fentanyl. let's get tough on fentanyl. unfortunately this administration i don't know if it's ineptitude or what. they didn't even take action to stop the flow of substances and materials and packages coming

from china around fentanyl because they didn't put in place rules that would require those things to be inspected like normal imports. so they're going to continue the flow of these materials, these precursors, fentanyl products from china, unless they do something and they've done nothing here to tackle the problem of fentanyl, sir, what do you think democrats in congress should be doing right now to push back against some of what the trump administration is doing? >> and i would be remiss if i didn't ask you about the efforts of doge at the treasury department, where they've gained access to systems and the threat to shut down the usaid. >> yeah. so we should be using every lever we can in the congress to stand up for the rule of law, to stand up for the fact that the congress passes laws, the president executes them. it's not the executive branch does not have all power in this country. and folks in both parties in the congress would be wise to remember that. and look, i think hearing an argument like the one i just made, which is grounded in reality about an administration pointing to action on fentanyl

and then going soft and weak on chinese exports of fentanyl into this country. that's a problem. and it goes to how inept this administration has been on something where a guy like me from western pennsylvania, i want stronger and stiffer trade enforcement. but what they're doing here, going soft on china and letting fentanyl products continue to come in unimpeded. uninspected doesn't make any sense. and i think they need to wake up about what they're doing. and if you have big tough talk, we'll back it up with action that actually integrates with better trade deals and better trade enforcement and common sense things that we know our government can do to protect us from fentanyl. >> do you think these tariffs are going to make your constituents grocery prices higher? >> they might. i think it's a real risk. and by the way, i look at what happened in this election and the one before in 2022. people have been mad for a long time about rising costs. they are mad about groceries and housing and gas prices, you name it. and what i think what i'm going to see out of the

republican majorities in both houses, remember, they control all of congress, along with the white house. they're looking to jam through a massive tax giveaway to big corporations and billionaires. they have no economic plan beyond trickle down economics that has never worked for the people i represent. and it's going to do nothing to bring down costs. that's their economic program. they're going to be an asteroid coming for earth. and republicans are get in a room and come up with a tax giveaway for rich people. it is not a way to govern. it will do nothing to bring down costs. >> all right. congressman chris deluzio very grateful for your time today, sir. thanks very much for being here. >> thanks, casey. >> all right. see you soon, i hope. all right. time now for sports. the nba trade deadline isn't until thursday, but we've already seen what's being called arguably one of the biggest trades in league history late saturday night. news broke that the mavericks were trading their superstar, luka doncic, to the lakers in a three team deal that also sent anthony davis to dallas. doncic arrived in los angeles on a private jet last night. the five time all star, one of the most impactful

players in the league, but he's been sidelined since suffering a calf injury back on christmas day. the 25 year old released his first statement across his social media accounts yesterday. here's what he said. quote, seven years ago i came here as a teenager to pursue my dream of playing basketball at the highest level. i thought i'd spend my career here, and i wanted so badly to bring you a championship. he went on to say, in good times and bad, from injuries to the nba finals, your support never changed. thank you not only for sharing my joy in our best moments, but also for lifting me up when i needed it most. some fans in dallas didn't take the news of the deal very well. dozens of protesters gathered outside the mavericks home arena, holding signs calling it the worst trade in nba history. some people even chanted sell the team! >> i'm sad i came to protest, honestly. i came to protest. the whole front office.

>> i mean, we literally traded our franchise player away and only for one first round pick. >> i.c.e. so hard. meantime, super bowl week officially here. the teams arrived in new orleans yesterday ahead of sunday's big game. the chiefs touching down in the big easy without much fanfare. patrick mahomes and company, of course, are looking to become the first team to win three straight super bowls. one of the pilots on the eagles plane hung a green and white flag out of the window, reading go birds! louisiana. touched there philadelphia hoping to win their second super bowl in seven years. but the chiefs are the one and a half point favorites going into sunday's game. i still have faith in my birds. i will just say that. all right. coming up next here on cnn this morning, doge seizes control. how the world's richest man is using his access to the federal government with an endorsement from the president. plus, the trade war erupts. how america's

trading partners are planning to strike back at president trump's new tariffs. >> our peaceful trading partners are not our enemies. they are our allies. we should beware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends. >> how did i. ever miss this before you were. >> preventing migraine with ellipta. you'll never truly forget migraine, but ellipta reduces attacks, making more zero migraine days possible. it's approved to. >> prevent. >> migraine. to help give you that forget you get. >> migraine feeling. >> don't take if allergic. >> to ellipta. >> get help. >> right away for. >> serious allergic reactions. >> like trouble breathing face, lip or tongue swelling, itching or rash, which may occur when taking ellipta or days after. common side effects include nausea, constipation, and sleepiness. learn how abbvie could help you save ellipta the forget you get migraine medicine. >> wow. incredible. amazing. >> my go to is lumify eye drops. lumify dramatically reduces. >> redness in one minute. >> and look at the difference. >> my eyes look brighter and whiter.
