>> yeah, kasie. air is laying the groundwork for this ice storm that will unfold across texas, oklahoma, arkansas and western sections of tennessee. denver is only going to top 5 degrees. your normal high temperature is 44. very similar results across minneapolis into chicago as well. so the cold air is there. it's setting the stage. this is what it feels like on your exposed skin as you step outside. the national weather service have issued windchill alerts in advance of this. what's important is where the cold air is headed. it continues to traverse southward. so we've got this classic setup. at the time we've got warm, very moisture laden air from the gulf of mexico. this is being overlaid by very cold air that i showed you a few moments ago. what happens there? cold air is very dense and zipsinks to the surface of the ground. the warm moisture starts to override it and we get that freezing rain at the surface where the cold air has sunk into. in fact you can see that on the radar and some of our

kasie. >> it was really interesting, melanie.sure building on him within the republican congress, otherwise no way this would happen. thank you so much for your reporting. really appreciate it. >>> meanwhile, americans spend the most money on health care, but it is not paying off. a new report shows that people here in the u.s. have worse health care compared to people in other high-income countries. the bad diagnosis doesn't stop there. cnn medical correspondent dr. tara narula joins us to talk about this. dr. narula, always great to see you. there are several alarming findings we are to break down here. first, let's walk through, how much more are americans spending on their health care? >> a lot more. so this database basically comp the u.s. to other high-income countries. when you look at the numbers in america we are talking about $11,911 . you can look at the full screen, compare it to most of the other countries where we are talking about the range of $5,000, $6,000, $7,000. in south korea it is as low as $3,900. clearly t

. >> usually they have some idea, kasie. >> they have no idea but what we do know is that sometimes when you have up to 20 people who are intransigent preventing something from happening like this vote, the person who is in kevin mccarthy's position says, okay, uncle. i mean, that's what he did in 2015. he didn't have the votes. he gave up. he is doing the opposite this time. in a very ugly way obviously we're seeing it play out but it's not just him doing it on his own, he's doing it because he is being pressured and encouraged by so many members, so many of his rank and file, again, we need to underscore this, not necessarily because they're all dying for kevin mccarthy to be speaker of the house, but because they see this as a tool for beating back those rebels who are from the perspective of most house republicans just doing this for their own notoriety, for their own power and not necessarily for a greater good of policy or even politics. >> symbolic on both sides and that's what makes it so hard to resolve this standoff. i do think that we are at the point now where the reason this

kasie, mike pence has a book tour based in evangelical churches around the country. >> yeah, he schurrral candidate for this group. this has been kind of his rock solid bloc for his entire political career. now, that said, i think there are a lot of questions across the board about, you know, what pence's constituency is considering where he stands with donald trump and, you know, one question i have talking about e evangelical leaders. their flock doesn't necessarily follow them on things like this and, you know, i'd be interested to see if any congregations don't harbor a lot that support trump. i think it's going to be my question as we head into the campaign season. >> yeah, it's a good point, kasie hunt and kaitlan collins. a child waving around a loaded handgun in an apartment complex that was on live television. details aheaead. at clearchoice was going to afford her that p permanent solution.

and he called in and that photo kasie was talking about trying to reach matt rosendale who seemed to not want to talk to him, rosendale didn't flip. gaetz went back and changed his vote to a yes on mccarthy. so, i mean, we will probably see -- if it's mccarthy trump will try to take credit for it all. it's not entirely clear he made anything move on the floor. >> we talked about gaetz being a showman and wanting to grab the attention and the spotlight. i don't think there's anyone who is more interested in that than the former president of the united states. >> yeah. so as the motion to adjourn is gaveled to a close, we are waiting now -- >> the yeas are 155. the nays are 279. the motion is not adopted. for what purpose does the gentleman from arkansas arise? >> madam clerk, i rise to nominate kevin mccarthy as the speaker of the house. [ applause ] >> the eyes of the world and the eyes of america are on this body right now. what america needs, what this body needs is a lot less talk and a lot more action. and at the direction of the republican conference, i advance the name of kevin

this week, like kasie said, this was not their biggest problem, because he was voting for him.saw pictures of him with members. what i was hearing throughout the week was how ostracized he was by others. many didn't want anything to do with him. he's not going to be front and center, but his bigger problems are are what we can't say. in brazil, augt thorities theree looking into him as well. i don't think george santos will be the biggest issue of the 118th congress. >> one wonders how long he will swing around now that the vote is done, mccarthy has the votes, he's good to go on that front. what's entering is that george santos, one of the reasons he even ended up in congress, he played the base like a fiddle to some extent. take a listen to what he said back in 2021 about being at the january 6th rally. >> something i mention often, i was at the ellipse on january 6th. that was the most amazing crowd. >> it was. >> and the president was at his full awesomeness that day. it was a front row spectacle for me. >> first of all, we don't even know if that is true, but the real poin

complex and missiles to them, this is reported in letters from the minister of defense of the country, kasin, to the house of representatives, five dutch instructors will teach 200 fighters from sumy how to work with patriots, but denmark will hand over all its 19 caesar artillery guns to us this decision was made by the government of the country after consultation with the parliament. this is reported by the general staff of the armed forces of ukraine. this is now a french 155-mm self-propelled artillery installation. it is designed to destroy the manpower of artillery batteries, as well as to ensure passages in minefields and field barriers. the first step has been taken by ukrainian tankers will begin training on german leopard 2, this was agreed upon after a meeting of the heads of defense departments at the ramstein base, although there is still no decision on the provision of tanks the minister of defense of ukraine, oleksiy reznikov, announced that the courses for our tank crews will be held by the countries that own leopards , according to reznikov, they agreed on training thanks t

especially you know, since the bombardment of social media, we talk with doctors, haman chew agarwal in kasi the medical college of wisconsin about how this course could benefit students today, world for years to come. you should dip your hand in giving students the tools they need to continue those practices beyond that, our that they have together. and it's really creating a community . there's a clarity that comes with sitting still and allowing your mind to be quiet. dr aggarwal is it child psychiatrist? dr ferguson has improved access to mental health services at the medical college boom know the power of mindfulness allows us to be present for other people in a way that we're not typically able to on this day, students brought blankets, leaving behind worries and one other thing. our phones are in no big, big no in the class because we're always using them derived from the rocky bread from a one hour weekly course it's taught me to make space for things. it's taught me to water understand that mindfulness is important that hopefully last arrested when we like our happy we make a better

he loves kevin mccarthy and thinks that he should be speaker of the house, and it was as you noted, kasie an inspiring agenda-filled description of what he wants to do as a leader of the house. i don't think that was lost on anyone. >> no, i am getting the text messages from the sources who are saying that they are digesting it on the house floor and talking amongst themselves that it was remarkably good, and maybe i should think about that. >> and vote for jordan perhaps? >> i am not saying that people think that he is going to go to 218, and i think that people listened to the speech, and were surprised how good it was. >> there is another group here other than the freedom caucus, and this is all of the other people who have been voting for kevin mccarthy, and that is the moderates who are sitting here and realize that the party is being humiliated. they cannot vote for a speaker, and they cannot organize. to go back to what our colleague david axelrod up in new york so perfectly said, when is somebody going to go to kevin mccarthy saying is, "dude, they are just not that into you. and

and kasie hunt, i'm reminded in the great mob movie "a bronx tale," the mob boss -- >> you'll lose me quickly. i have not seen it. >> i won't lose you. the mob boss sonny says -- he's asked whether it's better to be feared or loved and he said it's great to be both but i'd rather be feared. is mccarthy feared or loved? >> no, not really and i think that's the crux of the issue here, look, we all know and to lauren's point, mccarthy could give them something that would make him speaker of the house, he would do it. he has compromised so much of himself, i mean if you think about when he went back down to mar-a-lago after the jazzy's bbq attack, what was that about? it was about becoming speaker of the house. he was willing to sacrifice what he had just previously claimed were core values of his to achieve that goal, so he really can't give these people what he wants and the reality is i mean i've covered -- dana, you know kevin mccarthy very well, so do you, john. i've covered him for many years and he is good at telling people one-on-one inside rooms exactly what they want to hear. ev

kasie hunt, one of the things you clearly hear from the congressman bishops and bars and others, this idea that yes, we need to reform the process even further, kevin mccarthy needs to make changes further. that's from barr who is promccarthy but, you know, some of the people like it doesn't matter. it not really about the process. it's not about the rules. you know, bob good is not going to vote for kevin mccarthy no matter what. >> right. you're exactly right. for some of them it's personal and the question is are there five of them for whom it's personal or four of them for whom it's personal? and how clear can they make that or do they make that to kevin mccarthy and, you know, i think this is obviously going to be very telling period and what i'm waiting for and jamie, i know you've been reporting on this throughout is to see whether we start to see close mccarthy allies start to try to tell him hey, you know what, we can't actually do this again. we need to come to a resolution here. so far i've been seeing signs that is happening yet but it does seem like the frustration is boi

kasie, good morning. >> good morning. >> those officials are gone now, the superintendent and the a assistant. they are metal detecters at the school but with the level of complete disregard by the district, do you feel safe sending your son to school? >> we are trying to take it one day at a time. am i 100% comfortable sending him back, no. but i am hoping that the change in administration is going to make a difference, that they're going to listen to teacher concerns and take, you know, things a little more seriously now. >> you have a unique perspective. not only are you the parent of a fifth grader but you're an educator yourself. you spoke out at the town hall meeting about this last week. when you talk to your son -- >> yes. >> when you talk to our son about this, how do you have that conversation with a fifth grader? >> it's a hard conversation to have. you never think that it's going to be your kid, your school. we've tried to talk about it and i don't push the issue. if he wants to talk about it, we talk about it. and i just -- i really want what's best for him and i want him to feel

. >> and let's talk about that kasie, because one of the things that was very important to this gangg for this thing called a 72-hour rule. 72 hours before a big piece of legislation, important legislation comes, you can't vote on it until at least 72 hours after. i am hearing from a number of members of congress, i'm sure you are, too, who are distressed about what's going to be in this rules package, about promises that kevin mccarthy made to these insurgents that are not going to be written down. they were made a with a handshake. is this new congress that has the 72-hour promise, you have to get 72 hours to go over this important material, and also the issue of transparency, that's what they've been talking about. are they going to have 72 hours from introduction of this brand new rules package, are they going to have 72 hours before the vote? >> no, they're not. >> and is there going to be transparency in terms of all the promises that kevin mccarthy is making to members of congress to get control of the people's house? because this is not his house to make these promises but ou

to kasie's point, trump is facing a primary where 30% of folks if he can rile them up and say this is, the field is unbalanced against republicans, that's something that may help him when he goes against a desantis or youngkin. >>> what caused the crash of a helicopter of top officials? that's next. couple questions and got a real offerer in seconds. then, they just picked up ththe car and paid me right t on the spo. sell your car at carvana dot com today. this cough.

i also want to bring in cnn legal analyst elliot williams and cnn chief national affairs analyst kasie hunt. elliott, how is the justice department likely to respond to this latest revelation of classified documents found at pence's home in indiana? >> it's important that you say latest, wolf, because we keep finding these documents in senior officials' homes. look, the justice department should behave exactly as they have in other cases, which is number one, if you find intent that these documents were taken out intentionally, of course you open an investigation. if there is acts of obstruction trying to tamp were the justice department, same thing. if the documents themselves were shown to other people outside of the chain of who should have seen them, yes, you open a criminal investigation. but look, if it's accidental, then they shouldn't proceed at all, and that should apply to the former president trump, president biden, and mike pence. snow most importantly, the big question is do you have a special counsel. given that we've seen two in these other recent cases, even in light of

table, democratic strategist and cnn political commentator karen finney, former ohio governor john kasihris christie. welcome to everyone. we are going to get to the politics in a minute, but jane, i want to start with tyre nichols. democrats and republicans blamed each other after the federal police reform efforts spurred by george floyd's murder fizzled out. is there any chance there will be action now?d people talking it this morning. >> i think it's indicative of the state that we're in that we do have another opportunity for potential reform. it's important to remember that policing is generally a local and state responsibility. federal law is generally not involved with policing, but i think it's important to start talking about -- >> which was the sticking point. >> it was the sticking point. i remember when i talked to tim scott, and he said eliminating immunity was a no-go for republicans, but i think it's time to talk about the fact that wee'v snee time again. these officers were fired. what we've seen in other cases in which other officers have been fired after committing egr

we should know, kasie hunt, the reason he didn't get it way back when in 2015, was it? >> '15. >> was because -- not because he was inadequately allegiant to maga or too much of a swamp monster or anything being told about him, no, it was because he was mala detroit, he was clumsy and admitted the benghazi hearings were all about trying to destroy hillary clinton. >> well, i mean, look, our politics have changed so much since then. now those are said out loud all the time and taken for granted. it's almost rather quaint he had to step down over that in 2015 but, look, it's important to pull out the lens, big picture. what did we learn from the midterm elections where they thought this was going to be a red tidal wave sweeping through the house of representatives, a real change election that rejected complete democratic control of washington. instead what we got was a message from voters that actually they want a little bit of stability. and they're looking for people who will maintain the status quo that that feeling of being sick of the up and down roller coaster that

i want to bring in our political director, david, kasie hunt and adam kinzinger. defense attorney sharon wu is joining us. sharon, let me get your thoughts on the breaking news we're following now from a legal perspective. >> right. there are important differences here in terms of the scale and number of documents involved and i think what you're seeing here, sounds like it was a referral to doj and so garland was moving promptly. i would guess both the referral as well as the speed of garland's actions reflects the concern over making sure they appear even handed in the treatment here. so there would be a full investigation to talk to who was handling it. the chain of custody is really important. and also to both jamie and evan's point, if we're talking about a potential criminal charge then of course the intent is very important. there's certainly a difference between mistakes and intentional viol violation. all of that needs to be looked at. >> adam kinzinger, you're now a cnn contributor. let's get your thoughts since you were obviously a key member of the jan

we don't get through the cs -- look, as kasie just said, this is a question of math.'m going to date myself. i need tim russert's white board right now. i don't think that kevin mccarthy has the numbers or close to it at this point. we've been told the never kevins have gone from five to six, our whole team has been stopping some of them on their way in to the floor today and they've been saying some of them have been saying we won't vote present. we won't take a walk. so until that changes, welcome to groundhog's day. >> the other thing we heard is ken buck saying before the voting started he's going to vote for mccarthy but if mccarthy doesn't get it today he may very well nominate steve scalise, the number two republican. >> because they're embarrassed by the process. they're embarrassed by the spectacle they've put on for the past couple of days and they think eventually this must end for the good of the party and the good of the country. you asked a question a moment ago, kevin mccarthy has given away everything. he gave away the one vote lowering from five to on

. >> with me in studio to share their reporting and insights cnn kasie hunt, cnn mj lee and rhonda colvin of "the washington post." you saw in the photos, congressman and schiff you heard from. ilham omar is next. mccarthy says he can -- because intelligence is select committee he has the power of speaker to remove swalwell and schiff. omar is next, the full house has to vote on that. the democrats say it is retribution for the two intelligence committee democrats because they stood up to donald trump. is that all it is? >> that's what it looks like right now. it looks like it is a political game, of course, this is something that mccarthy did promise that he would remove them from intelligence. of course, giving background to the situation both were involved in the impeachment efforts by democrats, both impeachments of trump and both are saying that this is what this is about. now, with ilham omar, the representative from minnesota, that's a little different. it does have to go through a house vote situation. the question now is, does mccarthy have those votes and republicans, there are

record, it doesn't matter what kevin mccarthy offers us, we are not going to take it and i think to kasie's point, the underlying problem here is that there is a huge portion of the republican base that is not interested in any way, shape or form in anything that's happening in washington. the whole point is to rabble rouse, to stick it to the other side, to, you know, throw out red meat and as long as that's the incentive structure it's really hard if you're trying to hand out some carrots when there's nothing you can offer them that will be good enough. >> this is a group who wants to burn it down. kevin offered them everything, and they said no. they don't want it. i also think we should talk about former congressman rodney davis talked about the democrats that they're going to get tired and they're going to step up. nonsense. >> oh, no, they love this. >> nonsense. >> the happiest people on the floor of the house. >> all day, all night and, you know, the only question in my mind, someone said to me, who's happier right now, nancy pelosi or liz cheney? and i think that -- >> a great ques

. >> with me here, minus only groundhog day's audie cornish and dana bash and kasie hunt and jamie gangelnd david chalian. thank you one and all for being here. jamie? >> yeah? >> i don't know what you were hearing, but i am starting to hear from kevin mccarthy allies a note of resignation and defeat. not that mccarthy is there, but an acknowledgment in what they are saying along the lines of, well, this is going to be really i have to for whoever the next speaker is. >> we have heard this in bits and pieces along the way. they'll say we're for kevin mccarthy, and then the magic word, "but." everybody has been prepared that this simply may not work out. i'm hearing something else from kevin mccarthy allies, and maybe some people who are not strong allies, but people who have been voting for them. and i call it concession regret, which is something the congresswoman just told you, jake, she doesn't know what's being promised away in that room. and there is real concern. we have seen historic dysfunction, at least in the modern era. and there is real concern that the promises that kevin is
