rick crawford is here.me everybody, i am charles pain, first on the major supreme tiktok court decision. a shannon. >> reporter: as we are taking down to the deadline hours away at this point, the court said with one voice, hey, congress passed this law and we will not strike it down. tiktok supporters had ordered at the court this was about the first amendment, it was about free speech but here's what the courts had what it really thought it was about. they say according to the government, bytedance has permit they declined to agree to stop collecting user data or sending that data to china to train the algorithm. they say they know that you're scooping up data and that's a legit concern. one judge wrote because the record shows because the people's republic of china or the prc can require tiktok's parent company to cooperate with its efforts to obtain personal data, there is little to start -- stop that information from getting in the hands of a designated -- the government had argued, they are not only c

rick crawford did not. we know that loyalty means a lot to donald trump.king into the policy side of this, though, you know that we know that mike turner is a big ukraine supporter. rick crawford has voted against, you know, that $60 billion ukraine aid package last year. so there is a question moving forward about, you know, whether this is about loyalty and people who are aligned with donald trump and mar-a-lago. now, there's also been questions about whether this has to do with the renewal of fisa. obviously, that foreign surveillance program. we know that both of these congressmen have supported that renewal, which leads a lot of us to believe that this could be connected to donald trump. but we you know, obviously, johnson, other house republicans, trump himself pushing back on that. but yet going into this new congress, this new administration, there is a real question as to what kind of influence donald trump will have, not only on the committee, but also on the republican controlled capitol hill. >> well, i mean, yeah, this this seems to really und

can i get your reaction first to the news that rick crawford will be your cohort?f things will be the ranking will be the i'm sorry, the chairman of house intel. >> yeah, i know rick and i've worked with him for a long time. i respect him and i'm looking forward to working with him. but, you know, i think what was done to mike turner was just terrible and a little scary, right? katie, you'll remember from trump's first term, there were three institutions that he attacked and badly wanted to compromise and eliminate their independence the federal reserve, the department of justice and the intelligence community. >> and it's essential that all three of those departments and institutions maintain the independence that allows them to do what they need to do. >> and i, you know, whether it was inside the house republican conference, as the speaker maintains, or whether this was a mar-a-lago thing, as mike turner believes, you know, he got fired because they thought he would do his job of providing oversight of the intelligence community to make sure that the intelligenc

late this afternoon, johnson announced a new chairman of the panel, arkansas republican rick crawford. joining me now is congressman raja krishnamoorthi, democrat from illinois and a member of the house intelligence committee. congressman, thank you for being here tonight. first, let me just what has been the reaction among democrats on the committee about what looks a lot like a purge? >> it sure does. >> it was outrageous. >> committee. democrats and republicans are shocked by what happened. it was clearly a move from mar-a-lago. this was meant to purge him for not only what you talked about in your setup piece, but also his vocal advocacy for ukraine. this was something that he was passionate about. i know mike well. we are friends. we disagree on a lot of things, but one thing that he is very, very strong on is making sure that we have a bipartisan intelligence committee approach to holding the intelligence community accountable. and one of those subjects that we are constantly talking about is ukraine. and that's something that donald trump obviously was very, very upset about. >

it is now trump's intelligence committee, after a stunning shakeup, republican congressman rick crawford is now the chair of the house intelligence committee. unexpectedly replacing republican mike turner, who happens to be a staunch supporter of ukraine. crawford now, though, voted against ukraine aid and is someone who has had trump's back on issue after issue for years. he voted to object to the 2020 election. crawford's sudden rise to the intel committee chair was a shock. i mean. turner is a widely respected leader there, but it comes after the house speaker, mike johnson, removed turner, and the new york times reports. turner says that mike johnson told him his ouster was the result of a request from mr. trump's mar-a-lago estate and the sudden, stunning congressional coup even has some republicans crying foul. tonight, congressman dan crenshaw telling reporters the decision seemed to, quote, come out of nowhere, quote, with no good explanation. but could this be the reason? do you believe it is still worth it for the united states to send whatever needs to be sent to ukraine? >> a

his delegation mate is now rick crawford going to be the chairman of house intel. this is a better thing for the united states security. >> it is true that the leaders of the congress are going to work with the president of the united states, but what is unique about this situation is that in donald trump, you have a president who has flouted political norms, has flouted constitutional norms. i mean, go back to the underlying issue that seems to be at play here, which is turner's criticism of trump, you know, getting on the phone and behaving in a way that runs counter to historically, the way a president would conduct himself. and i think the idea that mike johnson is going to kowtow to trump by putting somebody in place who will stand back and say, it's fine for donald trump to put his own political interests. this actually ties in some ways to this conversation. we were just having put his own political interests ahead of the security interests of the united states. that's that's a problem. this is not a normal, um, situation where you have leaders in congress t

>> so i know in like rick crawford. and, you know, my job is to do my job. and so regardless of who the chair is, i will be committed to robust oversight. and i hope i would hope that rick crawford would understand that constitutionally, that's what we do here and that he would be a partner in that. but if he's not a partner in that, i'm still going to do what i need to do. >> congressman jim himes, thank you so much for joining me, i appreciate it. >> thank you, dana. >> and coming up, president elect trump will take the oath of office in four days. we have some brand new cnn polling on how he is entering the white house. the perception of him in america. >> this part changed my life. >> superman. crazy. just that simple little thing over the horse. >> chris wanted to change the world. >> people are literally walking because of him. >> superman. the christopher reeve story. february 2nd on cnn. >> your life is pretty smart, but when it's time to eat, suddenly you feel out of sync. >> refresh your routine with factor chef prepared meals delivered with a tap

. >> arkansas republican rick crawford, the new chairman of the house intelligence committee. the nation's spy programs. house speaker mike johnson ignited a firestorm, unceremoniously stripping the intelligence gavel from mike turner. >> what was the problem with mike turner? >> there is no problem with mike turner. >> why relieving him. >> there was a lot of concern. doesn't have anything to do with anybody inside the building here but we need a reset. >> democrats believe president-elect trump orchestrated the ouster. >> the message went out if you check this president, you are fired. >> house minority leader hakeem jeffries defended the republican chairman. calling turner's removal, quote shameful. but johnson contends the freedom caucus or the next president weren't involved. >> this is a unilateral decision by the speaker. this is not president trump's opinion or decision or any caucus or any colleague. >> turner allies fumed privately one telling fox johnson treated turner so badly that he is quote never going to vote for another blanking thing around here again. some c

most of your morning get due to high windows and joining us now, former lafd jeep italian officer rick crawfordrica thank you for your service to los angeles what caused these fires. rick: disconnected tuesday with a particularly dangerous situation, the pds red flag alert the weather service initiated to los angeles and so you know all it takes is one spark 100 percent ignition so right now, the fire investigators go through system they do deductive reasoning they take an area prince harry out do a small quadrant the calling on their knees and their hands, and sitting through fine piece of ash believe it or not several things will survive in a fire to leave leftover clues once they determine with the point of origin is come they need to eliminate certain sources like lightening we knew there was not happening lightening that day then i think nearby power lines of power was actually inside running at the time of the fire, then lastly after that you start look at jiggly may be human would be intentional or unintentional ring out. liz: what you think it must go back okay, that was an unusually hi

intelligence committee, due to what he called concerns for mar-a-lago, replacing him with maga loyalist rick crawfords into office with more direct control over congressional republicans than he ever had, working with paul ryan and kevin mccarthy. does he also risk getting pulled into the infighting the house gop are famous for? >> well, under normal circumstances, you would suggest that it is a risk for him to get drawn into that. >> but i don't think donald trump sees getting drawn into the infighting within the very small republican majority. >> they have a very small majority. >> people should remember. and that fact is the best thing that, you know, that the american people have going for them right now is that that majority is so small. but i don't think trump sees getting pulled into those conflicts as as a problem. >> he wants to be part of it. >> and he's so he uses, you know, as you the word you used earlier, intimidation. he wants to intimidate them. he thinks that that kind of intimidation makes him stronger. and he wants he wants to be part of making sure that maga republicans are leadin

he has been ousted from that position by the speaker of the house, who was installed instead, rick crawford, a congressman from arkansas, someone who's been a critic of ukraine and someone who is more aligned with that wing of the party, the trump wing of the party, than, say, mike turner is now. i caught up with the top democrat on the house intelligence committee, jim hines, who raised serious alarms about this move. >> mike turner knew more about, you know, the national security of the united states than any 20 members of congress wandering these halls. >> so we lost a huge amount of experience there. >> but i also think, you know, it just it it. this place used to be considered a check and a balance on the power of the president. that's why we exist. and the message just went out that if you check this president, you're fired. does rick stand up? does he issue a subpoena? you know what happened yesterday doesn't bode well for the job tenure of somebody who may do something that president trump doesn't want them to do. >> now, mike johnson has described this move as an effort to bring in

house speaker mike johnson has selected republican congressman rick crawford of arkansas to serve asouse intelligence committee. johnson made the announcement yesterday, just one day after ousting republican congressman mike turner from the role. speaking to reporters, johnson denied replacing turner because of pressure from trump or his allies. >> this is not a president trump decision. this is a house decision, and this is no slight whatsoever to our our outgoing chairman. >> he did a great job, but we just the intelligence community and everything related to gypsy, it needs a fresh start. and that's what this is about. >> but turner himself told cbs news yesterday that speaker johnson, when firing him, said he was doing so because of, quote, concerns from mar-a-lago. joining us now, washington correspondent for the economist, adam o'neill. adam, let's just first start right there because the speaker's office, my sources there have said we could have done this when we first got into the speaker's office. we let him finish out the rest of the congress. there are concerns here over t

peter johnson now has officially picked rick crawford to chair the house intel committee. a lot of people don't know who this guy is, but he's a significantly more maga friendly choice than the former head. who is mike turner fired yesterday, citing mar-a-lago concerns. what does this reveal about how the house will run over the next two years? because mike turner was a staunch advocate and supporter of ukraine? >> yeah, i mean, look, first of all, it raises questions about checks and balances, separation of power, right? when does the president of united states get to decide who chairs a house committee? it used to be that members of congress guarded their prerogatives pretty strongly against even a president of their own party. they would say, look, you run your branch, we'll run ours. that doesn't seem to be the case here. in this instance, what we're seeing is donald trump's dominance of the republican party being demonstrated in very stark terms. and not only is mike turner been removed from this committee because he was seen as insufficiently loyal. and by the way, y

so in his place, rick crawford has been put in.s seen as more aligned with the maga wing of the party. >> he voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election. >> mike turner had voted to certify them. he has voted against ukraine aid in the past. crawford has. so i think within the republican party, this is seen as a win, a win for the maga wing today. >> one of the sort of ironic twists of fate is that the most brutal assessment of trump's ties to putin and russia came from marco rubio, when he led the senate intel committee after richard burr left. and the most stinging sort of allegations or questions about kompromat and whatnot came from the republican led senate intelligence committee. what is it that they would want from intelligence committees that have no teeth, or no people who still see russia as the threat to american national security is the goal? >> so i'm not sure. >> in trump's view, it's all that strategic. >> it's a lot of times about who who, who like kisses up to him the most or is the most flattering to him. >
