first, i want to go to the ground, don lemon is there joining me from memphis.urse you have been here these days, and you have some new reporting about the scorpion unit, which these officers involved here were a part of. >> i do, erin, and i do want to say that the video has been embargoed before we go to that. some members of the media have seen some excerpts of the video. we were able to get that, and we've been able to view it, and it is horrific. it starts off with the body-worn camera video. yes, we have been able to see some of it. regarding this scorpion unit, i'm getting information now as we're speaking from the police department that is just coming in, and they've been talking about what's happening here. what they're saying is there's been -- you know these calls from the family and from others about disbanding this unit, the police department is saying there will be a review over all specialized units currently the scorpion unit is inactivated during this review process, but it is not disbanded. you have to remember that we have about ten specialize

i'm john berman here in new york. >> and in memphis, i'm don lemon. we appreciate you joining us for our special coverage. today, tyre nichols' mom asked me a very simple question about her son's deadly encounter with police three weeks ago this weekend as a matter of fact. that question was, where was the humanity? three days later, her son would be dead from the beating he'd received. ten days after that, five cops, members of a specialized now deactivated so-called spcorpion unit, were fired. yesterday all five were charged with murder. and now we have video of what they did, john. >> and this video comes from a variety of sources, body cams, a pole-mounted surveillance camera. we're not going to show any of it lightly. in truth, though, there is no amount of editing that can conceal the nature of what you're about to see. and there are many good reasons, accountability being just one of them, why it should be seen. throughout our coverage tonight, we are going to have a team of experts to give perspective. that said, please understand, this is dif

this morning a remarkable one on cnn, cnn's don lemon spoke exclusively with memphis police chief c.j. davis revealing extensive new details about what you are going to see in the videos that will be released later today. the two meticulously walking through what led up to the traffic stop and remaining questions about that, the beating and the arrest of tyre nichols. also the ongoing investigations into the officers responsible. >> what was said was that there was a witnessing of what was considered reckless driving. we've looked at cameras, we've looked at body-worn cameras, and even if something occurred prior to this stop, we've been unable to substantiate that at this time. it doesn't mean that something -- something didn't happen, but there's no proof. >> that the cameras didn't pick up. >> that the cameras didn't pick up. >> the chief laying out just what happened over the course of these two incidents, emphasizing the physical interaction between mr. nichols and the officers started when those officers attempted to remove him from the car. >> well, from the very beginning to m

powering possibilities. >>> i'm don lemon live in memphis.the country braces for the release of this tape showing exactly what led to the death of tyre nichols, five police officers have been indicted on murder and kidnapping charges. now, nichols was pulled over for what the officers say was reckless driving. just last hour, the memphis police chief told me that she has not seen any evidence to substantiate that claim. >> we've looked at cameras, we've looked at body-worn cameras, and even if something so occurred prior to this stop, we've been unable to substantiate that at this time. >> you haven't been able to substantiate a reckless -- >> the reckless driving. >> at all? >> no, we have not been able stto substantiate the reckless driving. >> and that's why he was supposably stopped? >> we've taken a look to determine what that probable cause was and we have not been able to substantiate that. it doesn't mean that something -- something didn't happen, but there is no proof. >> cnn has learned of the five officers who were indicted, only o

don lemon spoke to tyre's parents in the first interview since charges were announced.was not able to watch any of that tape. >> and i know i didn't see it. but from what i hear, it's horrific. and the humanity of it all. where was the humanity? they beat my son like a pinata. my son weighed a buck 50. he was 6'3" and he weighed a buck 50. and those men, if you combine their weights, they all -- it was over a thousand pounds, beating and beating 150-pound person to death. because that is what they did. they beat my son to death. >> he cried out for his mom? >> yes. yes, he cried out for me. because i'm his mother. and that is what he was trying to get tomorrow to safety. >> a mother's grief there. well tyre's father did watch that video. he described to don what he saw. >> i saw officers hitting on him, i saw officers kicking him. one officer kicked him like he was kicking a football a couple of times. and but the most -- the most telling thing about the video to me was the fact that it was make ten officers on the scene and nobody tried to stop it or even after they be

cnn's don lemon is on the ground for us in memphis. don, each of these men now facing several very, very serious criminal charges including second-degree murder, you're there on the scene talking to a lot of folks. give us the latest. >> reporter: extremely serious charges, second-degree murder as you said, wolf, aggravated assault. aggravated kidnapping which is an interesting one. official misconduct and official oppression. those are the charges that could land these officers in jail for a very long time if they are found guilty in a court of law. now, the director of the tennessee bureau of investigation, david roush, he held a press conference with the district attorney here saying according to david roush that he found what the officers' actions as to what he saw in the videotape sickening. watch this. >> simply put, this shouldn't have happened. i've been policing for more than 30 years. i've devoted my life to this procession and i'm grieved. favrely i'm shocked. i'm sickened by what i saw and what we've learned through our exte

all right, panel, let's begin with cnn's don lemon. dcast.ift that keeps, th on giving made this claim about a new florida law requiring curricula and reading material be vetted beforehand in order to keep and other lessons that are not suitable for children. how dare governor desantis do that? >> watch this.o desantis thatit feels like the 1950s all over again with , like, book boo banning. this is this is cancel culture. from people who are i guess they just want our kids to be a ignorant and to control the teachers. it c t is this is outrageous. o. i don't i really don't even. know how to explain what's it going on here. >> it's just ridiculous.ous.gh t,all right, governor , you've been a governor. governor desantis did that and then, and you just heard don lemon. >> what's your reaction? well, first of allreirst o, you going to do the worst in media segment. you need a two hour special. you caspecn neveiar covered in a couple of minutes.t what but what makes this so this s ridiculous on don lemon's part s is that he misses the whole point

. >> you know, i love me a don lemon. >> yeah. >> don's a dear, dear friend, soul cycle, emergency contact the cnn -- what's it called? "cnn this morning." and i was watching this morning and i was a little taken aback because i didn't expect this. could you show what he was wearing. there you go. you know, i believe a great man once said what the [bleep] is that? because he looks -- i know they want to add some comedy to cnn and this is hilarious. but how do you report the news in that outfit? how do you talk about tragedy wearing that because what could be more tragic than that look he had this morning. he's like a high school track teacher who went for a run and then got hungry and stopped at a restaurant you and it was a nice restaurant and they said, sir, you have to wear a jacket. so then he stole a jacket from an extra from "guys and dolls". anyway. don, you've got a lot to answer for. i hope you talk about this tomorrow morning on the show. i'll be watching. >> a challenge. >> colbert got his wish. do you want to respond to him? >> i do. i do, i do. look, a man who wears -- i wear

let's begin this hour with don lemon in monterey park. don? >> good evening to you, pamela.ion here in monterey park, california. yet another shooting in america. this time leaving ten people dead and ten others wounded, with several incidents throughout this community of violence here. our natasha chen has been following this story since the very beginning and joins me now from the scene. natasha, we're awaiting this press conference to happen from the l.a. county sheriff to try to figure out exactly what happened. to string all of these different incidents together, one happening in torrance, one happening in alhambra, one happening here in monterey park, california. you have been on the scene since the very beginning. what are you learning about this very close-knit community? >> it's just, it's just absolute devastation. i mean, they were supposed to be having such a great time, right on these streets right here. and the tents were all set up for a lunar new year festival. it's supposed to have more than 100,000 people out here today. and instead, they're in mourning. an

i think we -- i'm told don lemon is joining us on the phone. this is your reporting.re learning, again, what you're reporting that charges are expected to be announced today at 2:00 against these officers. i spoke to a source saying, listen, if my -- if someone i knew or was representing was involved in this, a source close to the investigation is saying that somebody will be charged. and somebody should be expected to go to jail and when that happens, first there's an indictment, then that indictment will trigger -- there has to be an arrest warrant issued and that will trigger a surrendering or an apprehension, anything to come after that. so if you're logically thinking about this, kate, the charges would be announced after the charges are announced, there would be this process that triggers this either surrendering or an on henkes and thus the press conference after the press conference that is going to happen from the district attorney, so the officers' representative, the officers and their representatives are waiting, word from the district attorney. once the d

you know i love me a don lemon. don is a dear, dear friend, soulcycle emergency contact.lways watch the cnn-- what's it called? "cnn this morning." c.t.m.,s we call it, cnn this morning. and i was watching this morning and i was a lilingsz taken aback. i didn't expect this. can you show what he was wearing? there you go. you know, i believe a great man once said what the ( bleep ) is that? ( laughter ) because he looks-- i know they want to add some comedy to cnn and this is hilarious. but how do you report the news in that outfit? how do you actually talk about tragedy wearing that, because what could be more tragic than that look he had this morning? could you put it back up? he's like a high school track teacher who went for a run and then got a little hungry and stopped at a restaurant but it was too nice of a restaurant, and they said, "sir, you have to wear a jacket." so then he soo he stole a jacket from an extra from "guys & dolls." anyway, don,s you've got a lot to answer for. i hope you talk about this tomorrow morning on the show. i'll be watching. folks, earli

and i want to point to the memphis police chief earlier today this morning telling my colleague don lemonubstantiate probably cause for even pulling him over. i wonder did you get a sense of what the actions would have been that would have caused the series of events captured on film? >> no. not to cause those events. obviously, we know that police officers can pull someone over for just about anything today, pretextural stuff, it's very easy to have probable cause to make a traffic stop but to end up where they did with this particular incident and heinous beating we saw, i can't think of any traffic violation that would warrant such, we saw them crafting the narrative on video about the grabbing of the gun, the taking a swing at one of the officers and we saw when he was being brought out of the car none of that happen. there was no aggression on any video at any time in either circumstance where he you know, he displayed whatsoever. they can't justify the beating. they can justify the stop but they cannot justify this level of beating that they -- that they did. just can't do it. >> on

governor desantis did that, and you just heard don lemon. what's your reaction?first of all if you're going to do the worst media segment you need a two-hour special. you can never cover it in a couple of minutes but what makes this so ridiculous on his part is that he misses the whole point. governor desantis is not banning books of every kind. he's simply saying that some material is appropriate for mature teenagers and adults and some things are not appropriate at all for children ages six and seven. and if he doesn't know that then he needs to take that wool cap he was wearing, pull it down further over his eyes, nose, and his mouth and shut the heck up because he needs to understand that parents who are trying to raise children don't want them to be exposed to things that are just absolutely obscene and pornographic. >> jason: i think exposed is probably the right word there, governor. what's your take on it? >> i mean, i think it's hilarious that democrats like don are always obsessed with the 1950s and the jim crow era. it's like that's you guys. that's yo

and as i mentioned, congressman santos spoke to don lemon, he said i have no clue what he's talking aboutho knows me knows i would go to hell and back for a dog and especially a veteran. so this is just more of the pile on effect. i have dozens of people reaching out to me in support, sharing their stories about their dogs and cats that i helped save and rescue. and yet, there is still the accusation looming from this veteran. listen to this. >> i said to him, can you please give the money back to the people, or there is a veterinarian in rich's area that we can put the money to and put night fund where he could use it time to time. it's not your money to keep. he wasn't hearing it. i called rich back horrified. i work with veterans every day. and dogs save people's lives, you know, and he needed this dog every day to be in his life. i felt horrible to tell him that i failed him because of feeling that he was going to do the right thing and he did not. >> and you never got a dollar of the money. >> never got anything. >> the idea, this is out there. he's denying it. >> if he was running a

i do want to say, congressman santos did respond on the record to that accusation to our own don lemon speaking about that, denying that it ever happened. he has been pretty adamant in the past, for few examples, he is not a liar, he is telling the truth. this campaign finance issue, alex, and you have followed the money in a number of cases and the intersection of what happened when money issues come to flee. is that the kind of investigation and inquiry that, regardless of what you might think about his statements of piling on, that those are the kinds of things, the kinds of investigations that could upset the apple cart in terms of being able stay in congress? >> i think they could. i think the context that they just mention is important. when an expulsion happens, it is because someone gets convicted of a crime. not just investigative charges, but convicted. as you know, that takes a while. but i think the nature of the crime could matter a lot. if he is under investigation for serious finance fraud scheme that cuts at his basic integrity as a member of congress, i don't mean his

thank you don lemon, natasha chen. we'll check back with you soon. let's discuss a little bit further. michael, police praised the community members who jumped into action and disarmed the suspect. they said they were heroes. this could have been a lot worse. what is your reaction to that? i mean, isn't it also dangerous, though, for civilians to confront someone like that? but they probably saved a lot of leaves? >> absolutely. i mean, they acted in an exceptional manner, considering the circumstances. so, they should be praised. that being said, you know, this individual still took ten lives, potentially more. there's other individuals that are hospitalized as a result of his actions. that needs to be taken into consideration as well. >> julia, what do you make of the fact that this suspect, this -- according to police -- 72-year-old asian man, huu can tran, targeted a private party in monterey. i mean, he could have gone hours earlier when there was more people. instead, he targeted this private event. and then according to police, went to alhambr

chief davis told our don lemon they needed a unit to address a surge of violent crimes in memphis. >>ility is to reduce gun violence, to be visible in communities, and to also impact the rise in the crime. basically out of an outcry from the community, we had record numbers in 2021, 346 homicides. >> reporter: chief davis said the scorpion unit had great success. >> last year, it was the first year in a long time that we have reductions. >> reporter: the mayor's office touted the early success saying that between the inception in the fall of 2021 through 2022, the unit made 566 arrests and seized 270 vehicles and over $100,000 in cash. but in its brief lifetime, there is also a history of tension between scorpion officers and the community. attorneys for tyre nichols's family say that unit goes around in unmarked cars and is sometimes unnecessarily aggressive. family attorney ben crump related one account that a local man had described to media outlets of his ebb counter with scorpion. >> there is a brother who said four or five days before this happened to tyre, that same scorpion un

i know those hours, i wouldn't a comedian -- >> really, don lemon?e hours aren't -- they aren't easy. >> no. >> but if you are a standup comedian in that position, it ties you to the desk, an anchor desk than being out there. so every once in a while, every couple years you get to do a special. when you think of wanda pssykes loves being on the road. chelsea handler had the late night show. are they going to want to be tied to a desk? >> they might if the money is right. if you pay them well enough, they're coming off the road. >> trevor is different. >> i think why trevor left, what was really smart about it is, if he stayed too long he becomes "the daily shows" trevor noah. leaving when he did, he's trevor noah who did the daily show. we don't associate the show with jon stewart anymore, he's his own entity. that's what noah is going for. these hosts are not as established anymore. i don't think comedians want to be on the road doing the shows the way they used to. there's a lot of things they can't say anymore, especially r risque comments. only c

she said don lemon, here's your sister.love on the carpet last night. >> love that. >> i love her. i remember i've been a huge fan of cheryl lee ralph since she was in dream girl on broadway. i was pulling into penn station one day on the train and i saw her standing on the platform wearing a fur coat, i was like that's cheryl's lee ralph. she's amazing. >> abbott elementary. >> she's great. >> if you haven't watched it, you have to watch it, it's a feel-good show. >> how are you doing? >> i'll get some sleep after we're done televisioning. >> she's been up all night. >> did you see the earrings? >> no. >> they were fab. >> what are you all doing? we're catching up with our friend. thank you, see you, steph. >>> house republican lawmakers setting up a showdown with the biden administration and law enforcement. their new investigation into what they call weaponization of the fbi, that is next. >>> also republican freshman congressman, george santos, has said he has done nothing unethic. the complaint house democrats are fili

the police chief here told don lemon that she was notified about this eight hours after it happened, on january 7th, this happens around 8:00 at night and she doesn't get notified until 4:00 in the morning. and there are other questions about what the family was told in the initial stages of what happened here and the delay in that and some of the excuses, according to the family, that the officers were giving to the family about what happened. so certainly there are still a lot of questions, and while you can give the police chief credit for moving so quickly and taking action in firing these officers, there's still a lot of other questions that need to be answered and they just can't continue hiding behind the fact that there's this ongoing investigation. because now there's a department of justice investigation. that's going to take some time. and, you know, the other part of this is that the department of justice could come in here. they can make a decision here that they want to come in and look at the patterns and practices of this police department. that is something that coul

here she is talking to cnn's don lemon. >> why is it that black and brown kids always get beat up whenlice? i don't care what color the police officer. but by them being black, it hurt black community. howard: we were warned by memphis police chief cerelyn davis who's also black that the police video was absolutely devastating to watch, and let me warn everybody who may want to turn away, it is. >> mom! >> watch out, watch out. >> mom! howard: this is from an overhead light post as we see the officers taking turns ai salting tyre nichols who's on the ground and defenseless. joining us now, gianno caldwell, fox news political analyst who covered story in in memphis, and griff jenkins as well. gianno, i think the media have properly played out horror of what happened to this 29-year-old guy, working two shifts at his job, going home to his mother's house. five black police officers are pounding him, kicking him in the head, three days later he dies. but have the media also positively portrayed how the memphis police chief handled this situation? >> you know what? i haven't necessarily se

don lemon is on the scene in monterey park, california. don, you're witnessing so much hurt there, i imagine. what are you learning this morning. >> reporter: you could imagine being in that situation with a gunman who is just trying to shoot people and then having to wrestle it away. i mean, it is just unbelievable. that was at the second scene. there are three different scenes. one where the gunman died, took his own life. the one where the young man you saw and another person helped to wrestle it away and then the one here where i'm standing in monterey park, california, where ten people were kill and ten others injured. some still in the hospital. the gunman being identified as huu can tran, 72 years old. didn't even live close to here. traveled here to monterey park, did the shooting and then went to another shooting in alhambra where the gunman wrestled -- where they wrestled the gun away from him and then found in his white panel van in torrance, california. so three different scenes here. this area has been traumatized. the asian-am

. >>> don lemon, there we have it.this question of why release it, you hear from the chair and vice chair, they disagree with that. they would have held it until monday, but so many people there and around the country want to see this video. >> reporter: well, i think it's important to get the community reaction and so victor, thank you for that. why don't we get the community reaction from someone else here, and that is van turner, the president of the naacp. some folks early heard the councilman saying he would have held off until monday to release this video tape. i don't think you have the same sentiment about that. >> i mean, i think you need to allow people to exercise their first amendment right. obviously if it's over the weekend, there's probably a better chance that you can engage with more citizens, and i don't expect there to be, you know, violence because there's been transparency. the officers have been terminated, they have been charged. we know that the video will be bad. we know that there will be prot
