so i look forward to three point competition. >> also, ryan smith, the owner of the jazz apparently can jordan can dunk. and he can dunk. so that's two. it started 30 years ago. >> apparently, ryan used to sneak into this stadium and couldn't afford a ticket to the all star game because it is expensive. who can? now he owns a team. how is that for you? full circle story coming up from here. >> she said good to see you. >> good to see you. >> we're going to turn to a lot of developments happening in the news. the special grand that investigated former president trump in fulton county and the actions he took there. he said there was no widespread vote that took place in georgia's results in the presidential election. thap is according to the released parts of the final report. georgia's secretary of state says this backs up what he has been telling us all along. >> we were vindicated. >> no fraud but maybe perjury. it was committed by one or more that testified. they're recommending the district attorney seek appropriate indictments because of. that the report doesn't name any witnesses.

ryans led the 49ers this season will replace smith after smith's lone season in houston. carolina, where the hurricanes came back from a 3-0 deficit in the second period and scoring four straight including in overtime right there to beat the los angeles kings. >>> it's time now for the weather. another tough day down south. >> yeah, definitely. especially places like texas where we have icy conditions on the roadways. ice storm warning in effect and 30 million people are under winter weather alerts this morning and you can see why. most of it the higher amounts at least in parts of texas where you see the blue up to a quarter of an inch so more downed trees, more downed power lines and of course those road conditions are going to be difficult once again today. how about the rain? there's also some rain with this on the warmer aspect of the system. it is going to eventually stretch to the east and bring heavier amounts of rain, but today the flooding threat remains for the eastern parts of texas and into parts of louisiana. so be careful with that as well. the cold, that i

and we asked ryan goodman what all of this means and where jack smith could be headed. >> it suggests that he is nearing an end stage. you only go to pence after you've already established what the other witnesses are going to say so that it can be the most informed back and forth in terms of what they say and ask him with the grand jury so that they have as much visibility and information when they are asking him questions. so they already know some of the answers, they can verify where he is coming from. he is the grand puba in a certain sense. so you only reach out to him after everything is said and done. so it is a strong sign that jack smith is reaching that final lap. >>> ahead, the u.s. president reaches out to retirees in a key swing state and promising to protect the programs that they love and that so many depend on. >>> plus new details on the technology instead the suspected chinese spy balloon and may have tee texted. >>> a later, a former friend of george santos speaks to cnn about the latest controversy. science proves quality sleep is vital to your mental, emotional,

. >> ryan what does this signal to you? i know you've got jack smitheeing multiple things, right, one of which is the classified documents at mar-a-lago. this is specifically january 6th, right, the criminal probe into the former president of the united states. so the fact that he is subpoenaing pence in that probe at this time, does that signal something to you about where jack smith, the special counsel, is headed? >> it does. it signals and suggests that he's nearing an end stage. you only go to pence after you've already establish what had the other witnesses are going to say so that it can be the most informed back and forth in terms of what they say and ask him with the grand jury that they have as much visibility and information when they're asking him those kinds of questions. they already know some of the answers to those questions they can verify where he's coming from. he is the grand pubah that you would only reach out to him after everything is said and done. it's a strong sign that jack smith is reaching that final lap. >> john dean, reac

ryan, is the january 6th crimes. we have been pretty aware that smith was well down the line on mar-a-lago stuff. this suggests he is also well down the line on january 6 crime or crimes. second, on the executive privilege, there's six different reasons, but ultimately at the end of the day, we know from the law, from the nixon case, if they need this evidence and can't get it otherwise for a pending criminal investigation, executive privilege has to yield. there's other reasons why they might not even get to that point. that means, pence or trump -- trump can try to assert it himself. if either of them will lose this battle, the question is, will they launch it? that will extend this maybe several months. that gets into political calculations, because both pence and trump are political candidates, of course. i agree with laura that it doesn't seem to be a friendly subpoena. nevertheless, it might be pence's political strategic calculation that he is going to have to testify eventually. might as well do it now. get it out of the way and clear the field for his political candidacy. >> let's bring

ryan's and i pulled out them for that. they also cycled through david cully , as well as lovey smith as one and done with the woeful franchise who were not prepared , so we still find ourselves in the position of replacing black coaches, as opposed to finding our way into having what what many white coaches have enjoyed for decades. it being the norm to see african american coaches and as well as coaches of color in general being hired, well, said i've got about 30 seconds left. i want to dig into that very quickly about tameka ryan's getting hired how far has it come that these diversity programs in the nfl are not enough that something else has to happen? well of course. of course they're not enough. i think they're a band aid. they're a necessary evil again. i will not say that we should rid ourselves of them, because what will it look like? if we didn't have it? go 20 years ago, and when you didn't see any african american coaches, that's what it would look like. however again, all signs still point to representation in ownership. sweets as we continue to see her , ma ginny, when we look at the ownership level where thes
