12:02 pm
palestinians who currently live there. he's also reiterating a saturday deadline for hamas to release any israeli hostages and to, quote, let all hell break out if they don't. and greenland is still on the president's mind. while the president may want, the island nation, does greenland want anything to do with the united states? cnn's intrepid correspondent donie o'sullivan went there to find out for himself. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. president trump pitching his controversial takeover plan for gaza this afternoon during a meeting today with king abdullah ii of jordan. the president reiterated his proposal for the u.s. to take control of the gaza strip. trump saying the enclave could be what he calls a diamond for the middle east and potentially a
12:03 pm
pathway to peace for the region. listen to this. >> we're not going to buy anything. we're going to have it, and we're going to keep it, and we're going to make sure that there's going to be peace and there's not going to be any problem, and nobody's going to question it. and we're going to run it very properly. and eventually we'll have economic development at a very large scale, maybe the largest scale on that site. and we'll have lots of good things built there, including hotels and office buildings and housing and other things. and we'll make that site into what it should be. >> mr. president, take it under what authority? it is sovereign territory. >> under the u.s. authority. >> let's take you straight to the white house with cnn's jeff zeleny. jeff, president trump also had another stern warning for hamas. >> boris. he did. and those grand plans there. you heard the president talking about, of course, we'll meet with the reality of the geography and history of the region. the the king of jordan sitting right there. he was obviously very
12:04 pm
pleasant and very cordial. he said, let's not get ahead of ourselves, mr. president. he did allow the fact that jordan would take a couple thousand young children who are stricken with with a cancer from a gaza. but he said the rest of this plan would have to be discussed with egypt and other partners in the region. so clearly, this comes one week after the president first made that proclamation at a press conference here at the white house with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu visiting washington. and now we are a week later, and the king of jordan certainly trying to put the brakes on this idea. but the president was talking about the the other unfolding timeline here, the cease fire plan in the middle east has been affected by all of this. but he issued a new warning on that today. >> you know, i have a saturday deadline, and i don't think they're going to make the deadline. personally, i think they they want to play tough guy, but we'll see how tough
12:05 pm
they are. they either have them out by saturday at 12:00 or all bets are off. >> so saying all bets are off. yesterday he said all hell would break loose if the hostages were not released. so boris, there is no question the next several days of this week are going to be incredibly important for this. a ceasefire, if it should hold even as as israeli troops are gathering in the region. so this is a true challenge for the president that goes far beyond the real estate deal he was talking about there in the oval office. but again, sitting there with the the the king of jordan, he said again, let's not get ahead of ourselves, mr. president. >> boris jeff zeleny live at the white house. thank you so much. we have to keep in mind that in the middle of all these talks are the 73 remaining hostages, men, women and children held captive in gaza for nearly 500 days now. today, many of their
12:06 pm
family members are urging israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu to uphold the cease fire deal amid growing concerns that it will fall apart. joining us now is alon keshet, his cousin, yarden bibas, was just released by hamas on february 1st, but jordan's wife and two small children are still being held in gaza. alon, thank you so much for being with us this afternoon. i want to get your reaction to everything that you've heard there from president trump saying that all hell would break out if hamas did not comply with the scheduled hostage release on saturday, and then benjamin netanyahu, seeming to echo those remarks. >> um, yeah, i'm actually very scared about this notion because we've seen how, um, rare and fragile these deals are. it took so long to make another deal after the last deal, and it can so easily fall apart. so i and
12:07 pm
my family, we truly believe that we just we have to keep the deal going. every party involved israel, the intermediaries and hamas and of course the u.s.. they must push to keep the hostages on coming back home. if an if a war, if the war restarts, we don't know how how much long it will be before we can make another deal. and my family and all the rest of the hostages don't have that time yeah. >> and to that point, israeli officials believe that the remaining hostages are in even rougher condition than some of those already released. we actually heard one official tell cnn that they expect worse scenes. what goes through your mind? hearing that? >> um. it's it turns my stomach. uh, the last release
12:08 pm
was very hard to watch. to see their before and after photos. um, it just looks like something that was taken straight from the holocaust. like people, uh, with their cheekbones, uh, very prominent, losing so much weight. i've heard, i've heard and read that they've been through torture. they were strangled from their, uh, from their feet upside down. uh, jardine also, uh, talks about, uh, that he and offer another one at the beginning of the captivity. they kept them in a cage. in a cage below the ground with almost no food. it was completely dark and damp and, um, and, um, smelly and no daylight for so many days. so you must everyone must understand that we don't have that time. no, no, no one has that time. and i'm afraid of
12:09 pm
what's coming next. but i know that each day that a deal will be delayed. uh, more people will die and more people will lose even more of their mental state and their physical well-being. >> it's grueling to think about what condition jordan's wife and those two small kids might be in. i do want to get your thoughts on whether you think the idf bears any responsibility for this threat from hamas, because they're blaming israel, saying that israel's violated the cease fire agreement. what do you think? >> i first, i think it's very complicated because, um, both hamas and the, uh, some of the israeli people, uh, it's a it's a very big system. they are playing the blame game for over 16 months now. so it's very hard to just point a very specific
12:10 pm
point and say this, this is them. this is the other one. so i don't know. but i do know that it doesn't matter. i mean, it doesn't matter for us, the families we need to get, uh, the innocent people back, even if israel makes mistakes. uh, i'm not pro anything that, uh, threatens the integrity of the deal. and i'm not for any mistake or, uh. anything that is not, uh, on good faith. but i do need to, to say that everyone involved needs to understand that a real terrorist organization kidnaped innocent civilians and kept them for over 16 months, and they must go home. it's that simple. we it's fragile. we can't just always try to say, they're they're at fault. they are at fault. it doesn't matter. our
12:11 pm
family members will still die if if if the deal won't continue. so we must do everything we can to not let it fall. and for the war to not restart again. >> ellen, when all the hostages are released by hamas. and we are certainly hopeful that they will be. what do you want to see happen in gaza? >> i just want the fastest and best way for peace. i think me and so many other people in israel, and i'm sure in gaza as well, just don't want anything that comes from religious fanaticism on both sides. both sides to make the war keep going. i we just want to live in peace and we want a feel safe and we don't. and again, we want to feel secure and defended wherever we are living. and this
12:12 pm
is what i want. i truly dream of the day that, um, the middle, middle east will be, uh, a place that many people of many different. upbringing could live, at least in peace. and, uh, even if not fully cooperating. >> sure i a lot of people obviously share that dream with you. i do wonder what you make of trump saying that the united states should take over gaza, because for a lot of people that support hamas and for palestinians that do not want to leave gaza, that would seem like a rallying cry. that would seem like something that would exacerbate tension. do do you read it that way? do you think these comments from trump are helpful? >> i think that, uh. there will
12:13 pm
be no solution. that is one sided. so if, if, uh, if we try to say this only, uh, if, trump says it and it's supposed to be something that like, you accept it or, or or else it's not going to do good, it must come from conversation and, uh, real, uh, effort at uh, diplomatic relations. and uh, because again, we and there is so much hatred. um, from hamas extremists and other terrorist groups and we must we and we must be able to neutralize it. uh, so we can have uh, hope to live in peace. uh, if, if, if we continue down, uh, like everyone involved. yeah. both sides. if it's only by military might and by war, i think the cycle will
12:14 pm
never end. and i am really afraid of that. >> ellen, i always appreciate, uh, speaking with you. i certainly hope for the best for your family. thank you for the time. >> thank you. >> still to come, the white house says it has secured the release of marc fogel, an american teacher who was imprisoned in russia. we have new details on his release and what this could potentially mean for a deal between ukraine and russia. plus, newly discovered documents on the assassination of president john f kennedy. the fbi says that after all these years, these decades, they found thousands of new files in a record search following an executive order from president trump. and a bit later, despite trump's interest in taking control of greenland, denmark says the island is not for sale. we visit greenland to talk to locals and hear what they think about trump's comments. that and much more. coming up on cnn news central. don't go
12:15 pm
anywhere. >> have i got news for you is back for another season. roy wood jr., amber ruffin and michael ian black are finding the funny in the week's biggest stories. >> trying to give you all four years of something to talk about. >> if we are live. >> have i got news for you saturday at nine on cnn. >> hi. >> hi. >> chocolate fundraiser. >> with the chase mobile app. things move a little more smoothly. >> i'm the champion. i'm number one. >> deposit checks easily and send money quickly. >> oh. >> i'm the champion. >> that's convenience from chase. make more of what's yours. >> certain details can make a big difference in your space. start in the tub shower area and updated tub or new shower can really elevate your bathroom. >> that's a good tip, babe. >> thanks. i thought so too.

12:20 pm
billions in waste, activists and highly political judges are standing in the way. trump's comments come as some of his top allies suggest he defy the courts and question their authority in blocking his agenda, despite actually despite criticism of his moves, donald trump is standing by his ally elon musk, who is driving much of this push to transform government. joining us now is democratic congressman ro khanna of california. he's a member of the oversight committee. congressman, thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. you've known elon musk for more than a decade. you'd previously praised him, and now you've expressed concerns that he may be overstepping the constitution. i wonder fundamentally what you think he's trying to achieve if he's really on this quest to fix government, or if he's simply manipulating it to his own ends. >> well, i think he believes that he's going to root out all of the wasteful spending from
12:21 pm
government. and that's why initially i had said if he has a concrete proposals of reducing spending in the pentagon, which is 56% of the budget, then i would work with him. but he has now crossed the line. he is stopping payments unilaterally. congress has the power of the purse and some of the payments that were stopped were for medicaid. we don't want unelected officials having the power to stop veteran's benefits. medicaid or other programs that people rely on. and what i've said is, if you have really ideas for cutting government, come to congress. show the american people. force congress to vote on it. >> he has rejected that call to come to congress. you actually missed the first vote to subpoena him. but you've since demanded that he appear. what would you ask elon musk if he were to testify before congress? >> i would say, what are the proposals of where you want
12:22 pm
cuts? why aren't you starting with the department of defense or starting with u.s. aid? that's 0.1% of the federal budget. why not start with the department of defense? that's 56% of the budget. and why not make sure that congress is having up or down votes on these cuts? will you guarantee that you will not stop payments to any american on social security, on medicaid, on veterans benefits, without the authorization and vote of congress? >> do you think he sees congress as simply inefficient? and what kind of safeguards or accountability might be in place to have oversight over what he's doing? >> i do think he sees congress as inefficient. i get many americans see congress as inefficient. but you know what's not efficient? the united states constitution, that's what's at stake. and you can force up or down votes on congress, have the most outlandish spending, wasteful spending that you've
12:23 pm
discovered, and force congress to vote on it. i acknowledge that there's wasteful spending. i agree that we need to root it out, but you have to vote in congress on it. congress has a lot of power. we they're going to need our votes to increase the debt ceiling. they're going to need our votes in terms of keeping government open. and i believe that our leaders need to demand that anything congress authorizes and appropriates will be spent by the executive branch, because millions of americans are relying on these benefits and services. >> largely, republicans have supported some of these moves from elon musk. with republicans in control of both chambers. is there much democrats can do other than call on leaders in congress to act to keep him accountable to to place safeguards and oversight on what he's doing? >> well, i have a lot of confidence, actually, in the courts. they haven't been good on women's rights and voting rights, but they have shown in
12:24 pm
the past that they will uphold the separation of powers the courts rejected donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. i'm confident that the supreme court will affirm congress as having the power of the purse. our leaders, the democrats, have the ability on the debt ceiling where they're going to need democratic votes to say, fine, we will give you the votes, but you need to make sure first, there's an ironclad agreement that you're going to spend the money congress appropriates, especially when we're talking about people's social security, when we're talking about medicaid funding, when we're talking about veterans benefits, when we're talking about funding for public schools and working class neighborhoods. >> have you gotten any indication of what musk may target next well, we know that he's targeted u.s. >> aid, and that is money that is going to prevent kids in africa from dying from malaria and aids. we know that he's
12:25 pm
targeted the department of education, where it's funding for decent public schools and working class neighborhoods. my hope is he'll turn to the department of defense, where you have the vast majority of spending, and you have five crimes that basically are charging billions of dollars in excess. and we'll see what he does there. >> yeah, it seemed like president trump certainly wanted him to do that. congressman, i want to pivot and ask you about something else that musk tweeted that was actually echoed by vice president vance. the wall street journal found a social media account tied to a doge associate that had posted numerous racist remarks, among them one that i think may hit close to home for you. he wrote, quote, normalize indian hate. you're, of course, the son of indian immigrants. the staffer resigned and then was rehired, with musk and vance arguing that he should be forgiven for those posts. do you forgive him, congressman?
12:26 pm
>> well, as you know, i had an exchange back and forth with the vice president on this. it's sad because i was born in philadelphia. i grew up in bucks county, pennsylvania in the 70s and 80s, and i never experienced that kind of explicit racism. what i said to the vice president is, okay, he's a 24, 25 year old kid. he's put normalized indian hate. he's put that he wants to repeal the civil rights act. that doctor king fought for on social media. if you're going to rehire him, ask him to retract those statements and apologize. i didn't think that was asking too much. i was willing to extend grace to give this young man a second chance. but the vice president sort of unloaded at me, attacked me, said that i disgust him, and he still has not answered whether this person has been rehired and whether he's going to retract those deeply offensive statements. >> we'll see if they express contrition. congressman ro
12:27 pm
khanna live on capitol hill. thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> coming up, the fbi says it's discovered thousands of documents related to the assassination of president john f kennedy. this after decades and decades of insisting we'd seen most, if not all of it. that story next. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you? saturday at nine on cnn. >> love love will keep us together. >> now for something you can both agree on a sleep number bed is perfect for couples. the climate 360 smart bed is the only bed that cools and warms on each side. and all our smart beds adjust the firmness for each of you. let's agree to agree on better sleep and now save 50% on the new sleep number. limited edition smart bed plus free home delivery and 0% interest for 48 months. shop now. >> ontario, canada your third largest trading partner and

12:32 pm
month prompted them to launch a new search. cnn's jamie gangel and evan perez join us now. jamie, what do these new records say? what is actually in them? >> we don't. >> know. >> let's get that. so here are the numbers, which we do know. we're told it's about 2400 documents. but 14,000 pages. so by if you're if you're a national archives nerd, that's about six boxes of documents. so what would we like to know? of course. what's in them? we don't know yet. where did they find them? we don't know yet. why were they missing all of these years? we do not know yet. but eventually they will be turned over to the archives. and unless there's something that's very sensitive in national security, we should see them shortly. >> evan, this is obviously happening after president trump
12:33 pm
ordered the release of these documents tied to the assassinations of jfk, robert f. kennedy and martin luther king jr.. he, in his first term, tried to unseal some of these documents, but ultimately was talked out of it by the cia. yeah. are we actually going to see these documents this time, or could they get blocked again? i my. >> my prediction is that it's going to he's going to run into the same issue because there are still some national security secrets that are in these documents that that and this is why this is going to be like the forever netflix show, right? we can forever will have this mystery out there. listen to kash patel, who says he took a look at these documents during the first administration. listen to what he says about them. >> i never believed that the cia killed kennedy. no. you're talking to a guy. >> that's read the entire. >> jfk file. you've seen all the secret stuff. i've seen all of that. and i've seen the seven pages of the nine over 11
12:34 pm
report. i've seen it all. >> and what he goes on to say here is that the documents that are being withheld don't answer the questions that we all have or that certainly are fueling the conspiracy theories. and by the way, those are still alive today. as a matter of fact, apparently today in congress. representative anna paulina luna, a representative from florida, are back in where we are from. me too. and you? that's right. she addressed some of the issues and the questions that persist to this day. listen to this. >> i can tell you, based on what i've been seeing so far, the initial hearing that was actually held here in congress was actually faulty in the single bullet theory. i believe that there were two shooters, and we should be finding more information as we are able to gain access into the skiff, hopefully before the files are actually released to the public. >> i mean, look, so to be clear that we've seen no evidence to indicate that there is anything
12:35 pm
to this right to, to but, you know, to jamie's point, you know, we've got these boxes that have been found. it appears that something what happened with the fbi is that, you know, you had old records that were not filed correctly or categorized correctly, so they didn't know they existed until er from president biden to digitize these documents. and so that's how they found these additional documents. whether they will answer that persistent question that is still out there. and i think, you know, obviously, we should keep in mind open. we'll see. >> for for clarity, there are documents that we understand the cia has and for national security. and it sounds like that's what kash patel was referring to. so those have not been released. our understanding is they haven't been handed over to the national archives. what will be interesting with these fbi documents? did they get lost somewhere in the system? and and that's what happened. or was there a conscious decision made not to hand them over? i think
12:36 pm
we will know shortly. >> it leads to another layer of intrigue. i highly doubt, though, jamie, that if one of these conspiracy theories were true, that the cia somehow had an involvement in kennedy's assassination, that somebody would sit there and type out, yeah, it was the cia, and that this would have been filed away. do we do we think in any way these documents are going to settle this debate? >> are you starting a new conspiracy theory? i'm just want to be clear. >> i'm just repeating what's out there. >> i mean, the internet says. >> it, that some of the insinuation here and also it leads to a question of what is the cia trying to keep secret after 60 years like the cold war theoretically ended? right? so why. >> there are still things. there are still methods that are used to to eavesdrop on other countries that are still in use today, that are still useful for the cia and the intelligence agencies. >> so, you know, maybe some of those sources and methods are why the cia, there could be a relatively innocent explanation.

12:42 pm
release as part of an exchange after he was wrongfully detained. let's get more detail from cnn's senior international correspondent frederik pleitgen, who is in moscow for us. fred, what more are you learning about this release? hi there boris. we were tracking this pretty much for the entire day today here in moscow. it really was unclear what exactly was building up, but it was clear that something was building up. early in the morning today, it was clear that a plane belonging to steve witkoff had landed here in moscow, and it appeared as though as though that plane was coming directly from the united states. now, of course, no one knew exactly why that plane had made its way over here. the russians had said that this was a regular scheduled humanitarian flight. it was quite interesting because the spokesman for the kremlin, dmitri peskov, he was asked why this plane was all of a sudden on the ground here in the russian capital. and he said that there was nothing to it and that he had nothing further to add to that. it was not until the late evening hours that the white house then came out with that statement, saying that mark fogel, who had been in russian detention for four years, that
12:43 pm
he has now been released and was on his way home. i want to read a little bit of that white house statement, because i do think that it is quite interesting. there's one sentence where they say, quote, president trump steve witkoff and the president's advisors negotiated an exchange that serves as a show of good faith from the russians and a sign that we are moving in the right direction to end the brutal and terrible war in ukraine. now, the trump administration, speaking about an exchange, it's unclear what exactly the russians are getting for their side from that exchange, but also the trump administration making clear that to all of them, this is part of their sort of larger effort to try and end the war in ukraine. then finally, of course, this was a huge ordeal, boris, for the fogel family. his wife was here in moscow when he was detained, coming back from the united states in 2021. i want to read you a statement that they just put out a couple of minutes ago and they said, quote, fogel sorry. we are beyond grateful, relieved and overwhelmed that after more than three years of detention, our father, husband
12:44 pm
and son, mark fogel, is finally coming home. this has been the darkest and most painful period of our lives, but today we begin to heal. so obviously the fogel is very grateful again as this long ordeal finally for them comes to an end. boris. yeah, a really significant development. fred pleitgen, live from moscow. thank you so much. president trump has vowed to make greenland great again next. what do greenlanders think of trump's interest in buying their land? >> sure. vistaprint prints business cards, but we also print. these and. >> those and engrave that. we print your brand on everything so customers can notice you, remember you, and fall in love with you if you need it. we print it with 25% off for new customers at vistaprint. >> you on guard tonight? >> oh no, they. >> just. got simplisafe. it protects. >> the whole home. >> inside and out. >> stop. this is simply safe. >> whoa. >> that was impressive.

colonizer? >> native greenlanders are inuits make up almost 90% of greenland's population. there's all this interest in greenland because of trump. is it a good thing or is it a bad thing? >> in my opinion, it's a good thing because it's speeding up our independence process. so i see it as a good thing. >> when the nazis took over denmark during world war two, the united states stepped in to protect greenland. now, the u.s. military has had a presence here on greenland for decades. but in the capital, one of the very few signs of the united states. is this the u.s. consulate, which was reopened by president trump in his first term in 2020? >> americans died. >> for this country. in my own family, my my grandfather watched his his shipmates die. >> another sign of the u.s. here is tom dennis, who was appointed to the u.s. arctic research commission during trump's first presidency. when trump first brought up greenland, people treated it like it was a joke.
12:51 pm
people thought, that's crazy. but you're saying it's not so crazy? >> it's not. >> crazy at all. greenland, due to its geographic positioning, is the kind of the front door for north america. >> the u.s. is jostling with russia and others for arctic dominance. military bases here are prime real estate for satellite and missile detection systems. so this is danish navy. >> the danish navy. yeah. >> greenland currently relies on denmark for security and financial support. you think greenland can survive without. without this? without the. >> we will definitely need an agreement with another country. either with or still continue the agreement with denmark, with military or go with us or canada. >> climate change is opening up new shipping routes in the arctic that the u.s. want to control. the greenlanders you've spoken to are excited about a closer relationship with the

12:59 pm
that's what's used to make chocolate. and they're nearly double in just the last year. on the market, which trades cocoa beans. prices last february were about $4,000 for a metric ton. in december, it hit a record $12,000 for a metric ton. and this is all because of the growing conditions in west africa. that's where the world gets the majority of its cocoa beans. weather conditions haven't been so great. it's either been too dry or too wet. there's also been a virus that has infected the cocoa trees, and manufacturing costs have been up for cocoa producers and chocolatiers. the price to manufacture with cocoa beans is up 167% in just the last year. we've heard from companies like linn's, they've had to raise their prices. also, mondelez international, who owns cadbury and toblerone, they're also saying that they've faced unprecedented cocoa inflation. a little bit of good news. hershey
1:00 pm
says that they buy their cocoa beans a year in advance, so they've skirted some of those higher prices. and a tip for folks out there, if you want to save a little bit, look for chocolate made with cocoa powder. not 100% cocoa. you'll save a little bit there. but you know, everyone wants the good stuff on valentine's day. boris. >> yeah, you got to splurge, vanessa. quickly. do you have any sense that prices might come down? >> cocoa futures are still trending up. looking up about 143%. it really depends on the weather, boris. one thing we are seeing is that other countries are getting in the mix, like ecuador. they're starting to grow their own cocoa trees. but boris, it takes 4 to 6 years for those trees to be available for harvest. so a long term solution, not an immediate fix. >> boris vanessa yurkevich, thank you so much. if you really want to flex and get your loved one a luxury item, buy them a dozen eggs. thanks so much, vanessa. the lead with jake tapper starts
