Transcripts For CNN The Eighties 20240706

The cnn newsroom on this new years day. We have a Major Development on that bizarre attack that unfolded near last nights new years eve festivities in times square. Three new York City Police officers are recovering after an unprovoked attack by a man wielding a machete. Multiple Law Enforcement sources tell us the 19yearold suspect was carrying some of his writings and his radical views. What have you learned, gloria . Thats right, pamela. Good evening. Weve been trying to learn more about this suspect as you said, a 19yearold man. We can now tell you he was, in fact, carrying a hand written dillry. In it he expressed his desire to join the Taliban In Afghanistan and die as a martyr. Thats according to multiple Law Enforcement sources. Now, investigators believe the suspect arrived in New York City on thursday and he checked into a hotel in the leer east side. Investigators and sources also telling my colleague john miller that he traveled to times square on saturday. Thats when police said this 19yearold man approached police that was stationed at these set times square were being screened for security purposes. Thats when the man pulled out a machete and tried to strike one of the officers in the head. He struck him. He then struck a second officer, and then a third officer pulled out his Service Weapon and fired a shot. The suspect was injured on the shoulder. He is recovering at the hospital. Those officers also making a recovery. Now, sources tell Cnn Federal Authorities at the u. S. Attorneys office for the Southern District of new york and the Manhattan District Attorney have been discussing whether to charge the suspect federalry or under state law or possibly both in relation to this attack. So far he has not been charged, and it is unclear if he has an attorney. Investigators also seeking Search Warrants for his phone and for his online activities. So trevor beckford, 19 years old from maine. That is where hes from, a small town in maine, whales, a small town. That is the suspect behind this attack according to multiple Law Enforcement sources tonight. Pam, learning more ability this man. A Significant Development considering the place where this attack took place just after 10 00 last night in times square as thousands and thousands of people were pouring into the area to watch the ball drop. If this is, in fact, determined to be an act of terror, it is a significant attack that would have that took place not only in one of the biggest if not the biggest celebration around new years in the entire country but also an event that is attended by thousands and thousands of people and is monitored by heavy Police Presence every year. Pam . Gloria pazmino, thanks very much. Now lets turn to jonathan lacker. Jonathan, your first reaction to this news. Theres a lot of reaction. But this clearly highlights the danger Law Enforcement faces across the country day in and day out. At any moment in time these dramatic and dynamic attacks can occur, you know, without any warning whatsoever. So i think that theres a lot to unpack here. You know, were still in the if fa infancy of this investigation, but clearly the individual saw the events of new years eve at times square was the perfect opportunity to launch this attack. I think what we have to figure outright now is while he acted alone in the physical attack was he inspired or was he directed by others, you know, to engage in this violent attack on Police Officers, right . So you think about this type of, you know, sharp edged weapon that was utilized. He was Walking Around New York City. He could have launched this attack at any moment in time. He chose new York City Police officers to attack. That is a signal directly whether its an attack on, you know, police in general, an attack on the nypd, we dont know exactly what the motive was here. But we do know that these officers were injured. Thankfully, theyll be okay. Theyre recovering, but, again, directly focused on the nypd here. As far as i understand this has not been labeled a terrorist attack, but clearly this new information would be pertinent in trying to determine if in fact it was. What would Law Enforcement need to do to make that determination . And how would that change the investigation . Well, first of all, theyd have to take a look at the act itself. Was the act in furtherance of some sort of ideology, right . Was it to support that ideology . And groups really focus in like groups that radicalalize individuals really look to put this ideology and basically give somebody a sense of belonging, a sense of being. And thats how they quickly radicalize someone. This is someone thats young, theyre impressionable. And thats really what radicalization focuses on are those individuals who feel potentially marginalized in life, and theyre looking for this, you know, a quest of significance. And thats how someone can be radicalized so quickly. In that radicalization, in that ideology is there a violent tendency here . Is there something that is in furtherance of a violent act . Thats what investigators are looking for right now to tie all this together. Celebrations like this one in times square have long been seen as soft targets. Clearly there was a lot of security around. Fortunately there was, but does any of this change how these events should be safeguarded by police in your view . Listen, just saturday morning i read the nypd intelligence and Counter Terrorism event survey really saying specifically there was no directed or targeted threats being made towards the event. But the nypd, you know, very cautiously says due to the iconic, you know, status and the global visualization of this event, hostile actors whether theyre domestic or foreign terrorist groups, you know, still will see the tiemds square new years eve event as a viable opportunity for violence and disruption. I mean, this is why theres such a multilayered coordinated Security Apparatus and structure thats built around this specific event but all events whether its the thanksgiving day parade, you know, National Security special security events in New York City. Thats why we put forth this level of planning to prevent and thwart these types of attacks. Really we dont know what the motivation was of this attacker. What would have happened if they got beyond this checkpoint into times square with that weapon . You know, dozens could have been injured very quickly. So the Security Structure of times square that evening worked. It prevented that attacker from getting in. You know, unfortunately, three officers got injured in the process. And, again, an attack against the police. Jonathan, thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate it. And new developments tonight in the idaho murder investigation. For the first time were hearing from the parents of the suspect in this case. 28yearold Bryan Kohberger is facing four counts of first degree murder in the brutal slayings of the University Of Idaho students. On november 13th. It is clearly a shock to kohbergers family. Cnns jean casarez joins us now with more. What is the family saying . Reporter hi, pamela. I will and ive got it statement and i want you to hear it. The attorney for Bryan Kohberger tells me that his family is not allowed to visit him at the correctional facility, which is where hes housed right behind me. So the very last time they did see him was on the Early Morning hours of friday because he was arrested at the family home. And the attorney tells me his father is actually the one that answered the door. They now have released that statement and i want to read it to you. It says first and foremost we are deeply we care deeply for the four families who have lost their precious children. There are no words that can adequately express the sadness we feel, and we pray each day for them. Well continue to let the Legal Process unfold, and as a family we will love and support our son and brother. We have fully cooperated with Law Enforcement agencies in an attempt to seek the truth and promote his Presumption Of Innocence rather than judge unknown facts and make erroneous assumptions. That Legal Process will continue tuesday 3 00 p. M. Eastern time. It is the Extradition Hearing that will be right here in North Eastern pennsylvania. And we do understand through his attorney that he will waive extradition so he can be expedited back to idaho. And what is kohbergers attorney saying now about the chargers against him . Well, this is his first and his only attorney at this point until he arrives in idaho. And of course that constitutional right that youre innocent until Proven Guilty is at the foremost of what he talks about. But he also says that his client is doing relatively well under the circumstances. Now, your client is highly educated, very intelligent. He has to appreciate the seriousness of what is happening right now. Oh, absolutely. He is very intelligent. In my hour conversation with him, that comes off. I can tell that. And he understands where we are right now. Have you spoken to his family at all, their reaction here in North Eastern pennsylvania . I have spoken to his family last night. They have my Cellphone Number now, so they contacted me last night. I spoke to them for approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Theyre also very shocked, out of character for bryan. Theyre really in awe over everything thats going on. Reporter now, maybe his family is not being allowed to go visit him while he is in the local jail here, but the fact is that a courtroom is for the public, and on tuesday he will be in that public courtroom for that hearing, and his family if they choose will have a right to be in there. Pamela . Our thanks tajean. Much more ahead tonight in the cnn newsroom including Congressional Republicans wrapping up a special meeting today as they get set to take control of the House Of Representatives tuesday.

You get advice like. Try hypnosis. Or, quit cold turkey. Are you kidding me . Instead, start small with nicorette, which will lead to something big. New developments in republican congressman Kevin Mccarthys push to become speaker of the house and new evidence that his bid could be in serious jeopardy. A group of nine House Republican hard liners now say some of the Concessions Mac Carthy announced earlier today are insufficient. And in a letter they are making it clear they are still not sold on him. Melanie zenona joins us now by phone. Bring us up to speed, melanie. Mccarthy has been negotiating for weeks. And ultimately, pam, he did agree to a number of their most hard line demands, and that includes giving just five lawmakers the power to call for a vote on an opposing sitting speaker. That is something im told he announced on a Conference Call earlier today. But despite that it does not appear mccarthys critics are sold on him, at least not yet. As we mentioned a group of nine hard liners put out a letter and said some of these suggestions insufficient. They want a single lawmaker to be able to call for a vote to be able a topple a speaker. Thats how it used to be before Speaker Pelosi changed the rules. And also want a Commitment Speakership are not going to play a role in primaries. In other words mccarthy has a lot of worth to do between tomorrow and tuesday, which is when the speakers vote is. And meanwhile theyre increasingly worried mccarthy is negotiating all his power away essentially for nothing. They are going to swallow those changes if it gets mccarthy the speakership. However, as of right now, pam, theres no guarantee thats going to happen. Wow, so if mccarthy doesnt have the votes, does anyone . Are there candidates the hard liners would back along with the moderates . Theyve been pretty tightlipped about that candidate would be. Theyve claimed theyve talked to some people who would be willing to throw their hat in the ring. Ive talked to some republicans and theyve kind of talked about steve scalise. However, hes made clear hes backing mccarthy and has no intentions of challenging him. So unless mccarthy completely drops out of the race, i dont think well see other people jump in. But it could certainly get messy on tuesday because if they cant get someone on the first ballot they keep voting and voting until they elect someone. Because the house cant conduct any other business, pam, until they select a speaker. So this certainly could be headed for a messy, messy fight optuesday. Certainly could. I know youll be reporting on this through tuesday. Thank you so much. New tonight in the second to last day of session the January 6th Committee is now releasing more Interview Transcripts and other materials from its investigation into the attack on the u. S. Capitol. And cnn has a team right now going through those interviews, so be sure to stay with us for any new developments from that material. You are in the cnn newsroom on this first day of 2023. 2022 ended with a barrage of rockets in ukraine, so what will the new year have in store for this relentless war .

When i tell people how easy it was for me to lose weight on golo, they dont believe me. They dont believe i can eat real food and lose this much weight. The Release Supplement makes losing weight easy. Release sets you up for successful weight loss because it supports your Blood Sugar Levels between meals so you arent hungry or fatigued. After i started taking release, the weight just started falling off. Since starting golo and taking release, ive gone from a size 12 to a 4. Before golo, i was hungry all the time and constantly thinking about food. After taking release, that stopped. With release, i didnt feel that hunger that comes with dieting. Which made the golo plan really easy to stick to. Since starting golo and release, i have dropped seven pant sizes and ive kept it off. Golo is real, our customers are real, and our Success Stories are real. Why not give it a try . We are seeing no pause in the fighting as the new year begins in ukraine. At least one person was killed today in a russian attack on the zaporizhzhia region, and this follows a barrage of Russian Missile strikes across ukraine on new years eve. That was one of several attacks in kyiv saturday. In a speech to the country last night ukraines president accused russia of, quote, following the devil and waging war to ensure putin remains in power for life. Putin himself showed no sign of backing down during his new years address to the country. Cnns Claire Sebastian has more. Reporter this was president putins longest ever new years address and made it clear his focus is to keep this war going whatever the cost to his country. The optics are significant. This year he delivered the address standing in front of what appears to be soldiers in uniform on a visit to military headquarters not far from the ukrainian border. That was a stark contrast to previous years in front of moscows kremlin. Putin said russia is protecting its people and its own historical territories, a reference to the regions russia has illegally annexed in ukraine. And he accused the west of stirring up the conflict for its own gain. Translator the west lied about peace but was preparing for aggression, and today they openly admit it without shame. And cynically use ukraine and its people to weaken and split russia. We have never allowed and never will allow anyone to do this. The new years holiday the most important of the season in much of the russian speaking world brought no let up in russias attempts to weaken and split ukraine. This is an image put out by the Kyiv Region Police department showing what it says is a fragment of a russian drone with the words happy new year in russian. Ukraines air force said it repelled 45 iranian made drones overnight around the turn of the new year. Authorities in the kyiv region reported damage to infrastructure. Claire sebastian, cnn, london. And earlier i spoke with cnn Military Analyst, retired air force colonel Cedric Layten about putins address and whats happening in ukraine. Hes really looking at a false narrative, but hes trying to convince the russian people and really the rest of the world that the russian cause is the one that is the defensive cause. In other words, hes doing all of this because he believes russia has been wronged. He believes that russia needs to move forward and protect its borders. And one way to protect those borders is to prevent the pernicious influence from the west from getting to russia through countries like ukraine. So theres no better way to protect russia in his logic than to go after ukraine and illuminate that as a threat for russia. And thats what hes trying to do. Hes really kind of doing through the Looking Glass type of situation here, and its really telling how different his world view is compared to that of say president zelenskyy. Then, on that note what should the west expect putin to do next . So i think what hes going to do is hes going to double down quite a bit on the kinds of things that hes doing right now. You will see more attacks on the civilian infrastructure, unfortunately. You will also see attempts, perhaps, to move Russian Forces a bit forward into areas of the donbas in the eastern part of the country that the russians have either lost control of or have not gains complete control of up until this point. However, ukrainians have have a lot of momentum on their side. Theyologist have the ability to use their logistical supply chain much more than the russians do. The russians are going to have considerable difficulties to reach their war aims, but putin is going to try to leverage as many Different Things he can in order to at the very least reach a stalemate in this war. Hopefully he wont be able to do that, but that is his definite goal. Could this be the year the offensive fails and russia walks away . I mean can putin sustain this . Over the longterm i dont think he can, pamela. I think what were seeing is some severe shortages in his supply chain. Were seeing some real difficulties getting his Russian Forces ready, the fact he had to conscript 300,000 new people basically into the Russian Military on an Emergency Basis shows theres a great deal of w weakness in the existing Russian Military. Those weaknesses will continue and be made worse by the kinds of things hes doing right now. So what putin is trying to do is put a really good look at everything, but his ability to conduct offensive operations is going to be severely tested, and i think its going to fail. Well, it is a new year as we said, and republicans take over the house this week meaning President Biden will not have as much control over funding the war effort as he did last year. How big of a worry should this be for president zelenskyy . It should certainly be of some concern because youre looking at, you know, something that will require sustained commitment by the west. The good news for president zelenskyy on the ukrainian side is that the Defense Authorization act and the funding bill was just signed by President Biden really commit the u. S. For the next fiscal year to support the ukrainian war effort. So the quicker the ukrainians can move forward with offensive actions and with their capacity to regain territory that theyve lost, the better off theyre going to be. So it is of some concern, and the longer it takes for the ukrainians to achieve their goals, the more difficult things could potentially become with the republican controlled congress. But certainly the ukrainians are in a pretty good place right now especially with nato support and the continued support of the u. S. Military and the u. S. Infrastructure to support them. Colonel cedric leyten, thank you so much. A well have an update for you right afteter this quick break. Detect this living with hiv, i learned i can stay undetectable with fewer medicines.

Three new York City Police officers are recovering after an unprovoked attack by a man wielding a machete. The 19yearold suspect was carrying some of his writings and his radical views. Cnns Gloria Pazmino back with us now. What more are we learning . Reporter were learning the suspect is trevor bigford. He is 19 years old as you said and he was carrying a hand written diary. In it he expressed his desire to join the Taliban In Afghanistan and die as a martyr. Thats according to multiple Law Enforcement sources. Investigators also believe the suspect arrived in New York City on thursday. He then checked into a hotel on the Lower East Side of manhattan, and then he traveled to times square. Thats when police said he approached one of the Security Checkpoints. Now, there are several Security Check points around the area of times square on new years eve because every Single Person that tries to attend the ball drop in the area has to go through a security screening. They cannot bring weapons or all other kinds of things are banned from the area. So the suspect approached one of these Security Checkpoints, and thats when he struck a Police Officer on the head with a machete. You see it there on your screen, police showing the weapon behind that attack last night. Now, federal authorities at the u. S. Attorneys office for the Southern District of new york and the Manhattan District Attorney have been discussing whether to charge the suspect federally or under state law or possibly both in relation to the attack. Thats also according to Law Enforcement sources. So far hes not been charged, and it is unclear if he has an attorney. Investigators are also seeking Search Warrants for his phone and online activities. And pam, should this be deemed a Terror Attack, which i dont want to get ahead of Law Enforcement here, this will all be part of the investigation. If this should be deemed a Terror Attack it would mean that a Terror Attack took place near one of the biggest new years eve celebrations in the world, one of the most watched and an event where thousands of people attend every year. Many more people in attendance particularly this year because the event had been scaled down in the last two years. Now, the nypd is out in force, and security is very tight. But the fact that this person got as close as they did now, i should mention he never actually made it to the area where the ball drop happens. And he never got anywhere near that perimeter because security is so tight. He obviously did try to attack Police Officers there, so we will be looking to learn much more about his motivation, what was behind this attack, and exactly just what made this man come up here to new york to attack Police Officers and why he did Travel All The Way from maine. Thats where trevor, 19 years old, thats where hes from. Thank you so much. And coming up after cnn newsroom, tonight at 9 00 p. M.

In 2021 more than 70,000 people in the u. S. Died due to overdosing on synthetic opioids, mostly fentanyl, a 23 jump from the previous year. Cnns Josh Campbell spoke with the parents of one teen who died after taking a fentanyl laced pill, and theyre now trying to sound the alarm for other families. I found zack asleep at his desk, his head was laying down on his arm. I could feel before i even touched him that something was horribly wrong. Reporter every parents worst nightmare. 17yearold zack found unresponsive in his room two days after christmas of 2020. Medics arrived and began resuscitation efforts, but it was too late. And i started resuming cpr, and they just stood there, and i got mad at them, and i said, guys, help me save my boy. When they didnt, i started trying to talk to zack and begged him, dont go, come back, please come back, do not go. I walked up and i just said our baby is gone. Reporter we sat down with chris and lori inside zacks Old High School theater classroom surrounded by memories of their son. He loved school, he loved sports. He starred in the musical. Zack was such a stellar young man, and he always wanted to help other people. Reporter jacks sudden death initially a mystery to investigators, but the County Coroner near sacramento had two theories on the day of his death, either an undetected medical issue or fentanyl. And that further spiralled us into into confusion. Debilitating confusion. Like why would you say that word . We had no red flags of zack having struggled with any kind of drug use or addiction or depression. Nine out of every ten Overdose Deaths in teenagers involves opioids and most commonly involves fentanyl fentanyl is so potent that teens particularly teens who have never used an opioid before and have no tolerance to them can die really quickly. Were talking within seconds to minutes. Reporter new cdc data indicate the most commonplace for teens to overdose is at home. And experts say there are various reasons they turn to pills. About 2 out of every 5 teens who overdose has a history of struggling with depression, anxiety, or other Mental Health problems. And in many cases these problems have gone unaddressed. Reporter in Los Angeles County alone Health Officials recently announced accidental Fentanyl Overdoses skyrocketed over 1200 from 2016 through 2021. The problem is very serious not just in the city of l. A. But nationwide. Reporter to understand where many teens are obtaining fentanyl, we spoke with an lapd narcotics detective. We agreed not to name him as his work involves undercover operations. The more personal sites would be facebook, marketplace, instagram and snapchat. If youre buying it from a social media account or buying it from somebody on the street or a friend, then most likely its going to be counterfeit. If you look at the photos the fake pill looks like the real pill. They sure do. The dealers Main Objective is to get you hooked, and if udont die from it, then youre a customer for as long as you live.

Well, it is not likely at the start of the season that you had both georgia and tcu making it to the National College football title game. Georgia, maybe, but not tcu. The horned frogs pulled off the days big upset by beating michigan saturday. And georgia just barely got past ohio state. They needed a lastminute score to win. And a missed field goal at the stroke of midnight. Last hour, i talked to the College Football reporter for bleacher report, and i asked her who she thinks will win the national championship. I think tcu will come in with a chip on their shoulder. No one really believes in them. They open as a 13point underdog to georgia. Thats huge. Thats Bulletin Board material. I dont know if they have what it takes to beat georgia. But, i mean, i said that on this on another show yesterday. I picked georgia. I picked georgia. Didnt think ohio state had what it took. I would love to see tcu win their first in their First National title game. Im going to go with georgia just because its a safer pick. It feels like kirby smarts going to do a lot of great adjustments heading into that game. So, were just going to have to wait and see. I think itll be a great game, and i cant wait. Georgia and tcu will face off next monday in los angeles. Thank you so much for joining us this evening. Happy new year. First day of 2023. Im pamela brown.
