Of the Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden, the president with his first Public Comments on the new phase of the investigation. But she is dead. Yeah, just write a check. Just [ laughter ]. 11,000, she was 26 anyway. She had limited value. A Seattle Police officer caught on body camera laughing and joking about the death of a woman when he was hit and killed by a police car while crossing the street. Kate is on assignment today. Im sara snider with John Berberman this is cnn news central. All right, midnight tonight thats the deadline for the big three detroit automakers and the United Auto Workers union to h hand a contract. If they cant Reach Agreement the firstever simultaneous strike of the big three legacy automakers, ford, gm and the uaw president said the strike will be limited and targeted at first but then would expand over time, negotiations will continue until the deadline and so far they havent gone very well, pay hikes, job security and retiree he Healthcare Coverage are on the table. C cnns following this from detroit, motor city, vanessa, whats at stake . It could have a huge impact on thousands of workers. Reporter certainly, this would be historic if the union decides to strike all three automakers at the same time. And the uaw president already laying out his strike plan, a targeted strike which would allow for the National Union to call on select unions to strike at certain times, certain days and certain places, the goal on their behalf is to confuse the company and to try and make it harder for them to know where these strikes are happening. Its also important to note that there will be workers still remaining at these plants while some will be on strike, the union also likely knows that just two plants shutdowns at every automaker is essentially like a total shutdown because youre taking one plant out of the supply chain link. Also, they likely know that supply amongst the three automakers is much lower than it was in 2019. I want you to listen to first sean faine and then jim farley the ceo of ford who last night expressed disappointment and frustration with where theyre at. Were still very far apart on our key priorities. From job security to ending tiers, from cost of living allowance, to wage increases, we dont yet have offers on the table that reflect a sacrifice and contributions our members have made to these companies. To win were likely to have to take action. We made three offers since then and we had no genuine counteroffer on any of those. Reporter jim farley said that he and chairman of ford bill ford walked over the latest offer to the uaw on tuesday, and expected to deliver that to uaw president shawn fain but he was not there, a historic offer from ford, a 20 wage increase over four years, gm, 18 . But its not close to the 40 that the union has been asking for since the beginning and sara, as you know, these negotiations can ramp up and slow down in a matter of moments and these deals could come together at the last minute, however the strike plan that has been laid out is a signal that the uaw is not taking anything below what theyre looking for, this really could come down to the wire. Will the latest offers today be enough . Will it be in time . Sara. The question, will there be a historic strike, something we have never seen the likes of before with all three of them potentially going on strike . Vanessa, thank you. This morning, House Speakering mccarthy is meeting Behind Closed Doors with republicans to plot the details of the Impeachment Inquiry into President Biden. Some members are simply not convinced that theres enough evidence this as President Biden is making his first comments on this probe. Arlette saenz is at the white house. What is president saying. Reporter when President Biden was in front of reporters yesterday he declined to answer any questions relating to the Impeachment Inquiry. Off camera at a private fundraiser last night, he offered his first thoughts on this impeachment. The president decided to draw this link between the republicans efforts and a Government Shutdown at the end of the month something that mccarthy has been grappling with within his conference. The president said in the fundraiser, ill tell you what, they just knew they wanted to impeach me, they want to impeach me because they want to shut down the government. P President Biden will be delivering a speech later today on economic issues. It comes as behind the scenes and publicly his advisers here at the white house have been crafting this aggressive strategy to push back against the Impeachment Inquiry. Theyre trying to avoid of having anything sink into the public psyche as republicans continue to insist there was type of connection and wr wrongadoption in the president s sons business deals. What the white house has repeatedly stressed that theres no evidence that these House Committees have been able to turn up that there was any wrongadoption, part of messaging strategy theyll be employing going forward. Focusing on a possible Impeachment Inquiry since july when mccarthy first floated this idea. Theyve assembled about two dozen lawyers, legislative staff to craft their response, the campaign started to fundraise off of this yesterday. Its made clear by republicans will hope extend into the 2024 election. Were beginning to hear it. With us now, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer and republican senator from south dakota mike rounds. Good morning to you, gentlemen. Youre in closed door meeting for a. I. I want to start with the white house pushing back on this idea of Impeachment Inquiry. Senator rounds to do you think the Impeachment Inquiry into the president , is this good for the American People . Im going to let the house do their thing. Were busy in the senate, weve got Policy Issues here were working our way through, weve got three Appropriations Bill on the floor of senate right now. I understand the house has a different flavor, i think Speaker Mccarthy is doing everything he can to get a number of things across the board. All right, now to your senator schumer. The public is bit skeptical that President Biden was uninvolved in hunters deals, a possibility that he was involved, does this hurt bidens chances in 2024 . Are you worried about this polling . No, im not. I and we may disagree on this but we always try the senate is really i want to underscore what mike said n the senate were working in a bipartisan way, we passed 12 Appropriations Bills, i think a bunch of them unanimously because were working together and i hope the house follows suit. I think the bidens record is a strong one. What were trying to get done now in getting the Appropriations Bills passed and helping out in ukraine and with Disaster Relief and things like that, so i think that record will shine through. All right, senator rounds, i want to ask you about some news made by one of the very wellknown republicans mitt romney announcing that hes not running for reelection and he had some words to say about your party in an excerpt that was published in his upcoming biography. A very large portion of my party, speaking of the republican party, really doesnt believe in the constitution, do you agree with them . I probably would take a different approach on it. I think the vast majority of my party really does believe in the constitution but once again were a big party, we have differing Points Of View on things. I respect mitt, hes a friend, former governor, we worked together for a number of years, he really is trying to accomplish. Im sorry to see him leave the senate. None of us like, you know, when youre in a bipartisan fashion youre never happy with the outcome of everything but you try to move the ball forward, thats what were trying to do when we talk about a. I. And a Appropriations Bill in a divided government. Our Leadership Team talks to us regularly about the fact that we want results, were doing our best to get our results. Were talking about, you know, youve been talking about divisive issues but some of the things we worked together on, yesterday we had an amazing, Amazing Forum on a. I. , a. I. Is one of toughest issues that were going to face but its going to transform lives of americans in many ways, some for the better, getting a cure for cancer, mike touched about his wife who passed away and how wouldnt it be great if we could use a. I. To get rid of cancer, deal with world hunger and deal with our National Security but also avoid the downside of a. I. , job loss, the bias, and even some catastrophictype things yet mike and i along with senator young, a republican, came together, 70 senators came and listened to the experts both that put forward a. I. Platforms and some of you didnt like some of the things in those a. I. Plot forms. We have to move forward in legislation in a bipartisan way to get things done. That was a very good thing that happened. Our Leadership Team on the republican side has been informed, theyve been with us on this, theyve enkoushlged us to continue in a very bipartisan way. Senator schumer, what you did in that meeting, you had a role call, raise their hand who asked whether or not there should be Regulation Put in place as a. I. Gets smarter and smarter and smarter, faster than the human mind can work, what happened when you did that . I asked every one in the room and there were diverse views in that room, some people not happy with a. I. And people who were putting forward a. I. Platforms and they all agreed that we needed government involvement. Lets say a Company Wants to do the right thing in terms of bias and in terms of job loss, there could be other firms that arent as conscience, everyone agreed that we need government invol involvement. We dont want to make that mistake, we have to do it in a bipartisan way. Each of us isnt going to get everything we want, but so far overwhelming support between democrats and republicans with what we did yesterday and the path were about to embark on. If i could senator rounds, i want to quickly ask you something related to what senator schumer said, which is regulation needs to put in place, everyone agreed with that including some of the companies that are creating artificial intelligence, but Concan Congress Get Regulation in place fast enough . What are your biggest concerns . First of all, the companies did say they felt there had to be a layout of what the ground rules were, there was an agreement on that. Right now, we believe in patents and copyrights, thats government design, everyone believes in that because everyone knows where the Profit Margins are, how you make money and whether your Intellectual Property can be protected. We need to address that within a. I. They talked about the fact that you recognize you can have deep fakes and that could impact elections. Some items that would take a priority over others moving forward. Once again, if we do this in a bipartisan fashion and we bring in committees with expertise we can work on more than one approach at the same time. Well need the committees to be involved in this and we need the the referees who understand a. I. To provide that a. I. Expertise to the committees on record. I just have one last question, i know this might be a bit divisive. Do you both support funding ukraine . Im not going to ask you about the yankees. Do you support funding ukraine . Were both yankee fans. Were not having a good year. At least youre together on that and the issue of a. I. Do you both support funding ukraine, something that was taken out by mccarny in this upcoming very important vote to try and keep the government running here in the u. S. . We have to provide the ukrainians with the military muscle they need to win back their territory. Absolutely we have to support ukraine. We completely agree on that. Leader mcconnell and i agree with that. If let putin whos Ruthless Dictator Win in ukraine, people think its over, no way, in a few years we could be involved in the baltic countries or belarus or even poland, so the ukrainians arent asking us for troops or risk american lives, all theyre asking us for is the military and materials support they need. Theres broad bipartisan support amidst of the mainstream of the democrat and republican parties in the senate to get that done. You two senators are knocking it Out Of The Park coming together on several issues today its nice to see theres some cooperation between democrats and republicans. Thank you both for coming on the show today. Thank you. Thank you. Its nice to see, but disheartening to hear our elected officials support a team like the yankees.

Happening now, were standing by at the Fulton County court where a Pretrial Hearing is about to get under way for two of Donald Trumps codefendants in the Election Subversion case, there are cameras in courtroom. Well see it all. Remember this trial is scheduled to begin in a little more than five weeks, thats soon, the hearing today before judge scott mccalf fooe deal with Sidney Powell and kenny chesebro. It could have implications for donald trump including when his trial will begin. Were outside the courthouse this morning. Tell us what were going to see, nick. Reporter yeah, john, good morning. This day is really more of a procedural day for these two codefendants, theyre hurdling into october 23rd. The looming and critical question over this hearing today, whether theyll be joined by the remaining 17 cohe defendants. The District Attorney willis laid out in writing why she wants to hold all of these 19 together in massive trial, not only if we break up this case will be it an enormous strain on the judicial system here in Fulton County, four months without jury selection, some victims of intimidation. Separating these cases would retraumatize some of these victims who would have to repeatedly testify. Scott mccaffey said unlikely they would all go on trial on this october date. These cohe defendants are going if a variety of legal directions. Some who are trying to waive their speedy trial as of this morning, nine have waived their right to a speedy trial. Some like the former president are trying to get their case squashed all together. A Pretrial Motion hearing to see whether or not powell and chesebro will be able to talk to grand jurors and get the name of unindicted coconspirators. But today potential rulings could have ramifications for this rico case as a whole. With us now is elliot williams, very nice to see you this morning. Theres a trial scheduled to begin in five weeks. Thats just around the corner. What are the major outstanding issues that still need to be determined . Whos actually going to be on trial in five weeks, john, and thats so much of litigation in criminal cases come down after you get past the constitutional rights. Or just the basic logistics of getting a case to trial and when youre talking potentially here about 19 different defendants all of whom who have very different interests from each other, how do you make this work in a manner that the court can schedule it and everyone gets a fair trial, its an enormous question. How likely are we to find out before this first trial on october 23rd the dates of all the trials, whether its one, two, three or more . Yeah, i think i would predict that you would get dates for trials but not the dates for trials. What i mean is that the judge is likely to schedule dates in the future for each successive defendant. Imagine that not everyone is tried within five weeks, every defendant not tried will get a trial date, that will be bumped forward multiple times and when you look at the issues that a lot of these defendants are sorting out they may take some time to resolve. Donald trumps trial may happen one day and Rudy Giuliani wont. Theyll try to schedule something, nothings set in stone until those first jurors are sworn in. Part of the defense team, the trials scheduled in five weeks, the fact that it will be televised, what do you need to get done in the next five weeks if youre a Defense Attorney . I cant stress enough how soon that is thats a very short time to get ready for trial. What are you doing . Right off the bat, by Law Prosecutors have to provide a witness list to defendants and every defendant is going through that witness list and finding criminal histories for those witnesses, past statements theyve given and anything they can use to pick apart the credibility of those witnesses. 150 witnesses, youll have to find ways to poke holes in their testimony. They can start writing their Opening Statements. Believe it or not your Opening Statement is the one thing before the trial. Because you know the arguments. Youre writing some of the presentation theyll make to the jury. Now if youre Donald Trumps attorney, what are you doing this morning, youre watching these hearings that are televised, crow can see these things go on and it doesnt pertain directly to you but it certainly relates to your case . Certainly the timing of his case, now, you know, i understand he intends to file one motion to move the case to federal court, what goes on this morning wont really have an impact on that beyond the fact that its pretty clear that hes just not going to be tried in october, no way to get his case to trial in five weeks, so i think as with any other defendant hes watching closely to see how the judges ruling and how it plays out. How much will the judge say from the bench . Judge mccaffey said hell have weekly hearings, will he use these to provide more information . Absolutely. The judge can rule from the bench. The judge can have opinions written on these motions already before he sits down in court. He can then hear the arguments of the attorneys and if they track with what he had already written now, he can already issue his ruling. Its as the process begins to plays out you get a sense of the judges thinking, how he views scheduling and timing. I think that will be one of the fascinating things, the more we hear from this judge the more well learn how hell operate going forward. Elliot, thank you. Appreciate it. Thank you, sir.

Run with us on a john deere gator™ xuv and start telling yours. All right, happening now, move the effing motion, curse words and a challenge from House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy Behind Closed Doors at this minute. Practically daring his republican colleagues to try to oust him from the speakers chair. Did he really say that move the motion. Yes, he did say that. A defiant House Speaker whos deeply frustrated as they return to washington after a sixweek recess in part because theres so much republican infighting. He announced this Impeachment Inquiry on tuesday, they were here to try and pass a defense spending bill, a bill that was pulled yesterday because of so much Conservative Infighting on the best path forward. This morning, which was supposed to be an investigations meeting about this Impeachment Inquiry, mccarthy stood up and made it very clear hes not afraid of a vote to oust him, it would only take five republicans to remove the speaker from office if that motion was brought forward and all the democrats voted against keeping mccarthy. How frustrated the speaker is in this moment. He also argued to members they need to pass something on spending and if they do not the leverage theyll have with the senate which is passing bills on a unified and bipartisan basis isnt going to be very high. He also told them if the government shuts down, or if they cant get a funding bill, theyll remain here in washington working through this, so a lot of moving pieces this morning but obviously house Speaker Mccarthy telling his deattack or thes he wont be intimidated by them. Any sense of the reaction from the Matt Gaegaetzs of the world. For days house Speaker Mccarthy has been tapdancing around this. He would sort of deflect about matt gaetz. People like gaetz are arguing that they do not necessarily support the speaker, they went to gaetz to the floor and basically put the speaker on notice ux it was such an incredible moment if you Cover Congress to be so brazen in sort of how aggressive you are about going after the speaker, this is a feud that continues, also we should note that matt gaetz is under investigation by the house ethics committee. House Speaker Mccarthy said hes not going to be getting involved in a house ethics probe. You need a chart to follow this. Lauren fox, to be clear what Kevin Mccarthy wants in spending has been going on in the opposite direction. Im interested to see what you tell us what has changed because this is happening fast. Sara. Wow, some strong words and there are some very strong words out today about a police officer, he used this term, she had limited value, the inhumane awful words used by a Seattle Police officer about a woman hit and killed by another officers patrol car, he utterd that words just a day after the 23yearold woman was fatally struck. It seemed like it was a joke to him. All of it was caught on body camera. Now, an investigation is under way. Ka kamila, a Community Group is calling the remarks heartbreaking, what are you hearing about a report about the reaction from the officer who happens to be the Vice President of the Police Officers guild there in seattle. He says he was mocking attorneys, its hard to listen to what he was saying because as you mentioned hes talking about 23yearold woman and he said she had limited value. Just cut a check 111,000, what the officer was saying. This is the now under investigation. According to police documents, this happened on january 23rd and officer Daniel Auderer was responding to this crash, actually another officer that hit and killed the 23yearold Jaahnavi Kandula and what were reading through these documents is that the officer that killed the woman was driving at about 74 miles an hour and he was responding to an Overdose Call and so officer Daniel Auderer was sent to the scene because he was a trained Drug Recognition Expert so he needed to check if that officer was impaired in any way. The Phone Conversation was then recorded the following day, january 24th, a onesided conversation but as you mentioned hes heard laughing and saying that this life was of limited value. Here it is. You can listen to it yourself. But she is dead. [ laughter ] no, its a regular person. Yeah. Yeah, just write a check. Just 11,000, she was 26 anyway. She had limited value. Reporter she was actually 23, again, hes the Vice President of the union, the Seattle Community Police Commission saying that he was reportedly speaking to the president of the yunion, we reached out to everyone involved. We havent heard back from any of these officers. We do know that according to a kwvrs radio host they obtained the statement that the officer gave the office of Police Accountability and part of that statement, i want to read it, because this is his defense saying it was a mockery to the lawyers and then saying, i do understand that if a citizen were to hear that they would rightfully believe i was being insensitive to the loss of human life. T again, this is his explanation. Well have to wait and see what the investigation reveals to see what happens to this officer, a lot of people saying this is extremely insensitive saying that a human life had limited value. He said he was mocking the attorneys that would be getting involved. But theres 23yearold whos dead. John .

Florida Governor Desantis going up against the cdc this morning the republican president ial candidate and floridas Surgeon General advising anyone under the age of 65 not to get the new covid19 Booster Shots, directly contradictory to the cdcs recommendation, it said everyone over the age of 6 months should get that booster. Steve, why is the Desantis Administration taking on this fight and putting up this particular advice to people without being a doctor . Reporter sara, Governor Desantis yesterday held a roundtable with a panel of doctors who have been outside of the mainstream on the coronavirus issue, and before this event started, there was signage, no way fda signaling what the tone of the conversation was going to be. At the end of desantis said, quote, i wont stand by and let the fda and cdc use Healthy Floridians as guinea pigs for new Booster Shots that havent been prove on the be safe and effective, the opposite of what the cdc and fda are saying. Theyre saying they are safe and effective. This is not the first time that florida has been out of the step with the rest of the country on the covid vaccine, Desantis Administration was the only one to recommend Young Children not to get to the vaccine the only one to recommend young men not get the vaccine and they also were the only state to not work with the Biden Administration to help distribute vaccines to Young Children when they became available. So this is another issue where desantis is not just fighting with the federal government and hes out of line with every democrat and republicanled state in this country. Of course hes running for president and one of the things hes been trying to diff differentiate himself with donald trump is the coronavirus. Hes been critical of the vaccines that trump has counted as one of his top achievements at the end of his term. So this is obviously a step thats going to affect potentially the lives and the health of floridians but its also coming with the backdrop of a president ial race when covid cases have gone up in recent weeks. Sara. Yet, hes very far behind donald trump at this point in time. If you look at the polling, donald trump is way, way ahead of him. Steve, thank you so much. John . All right, we do have breaking news. A ruling in one of the major issues weve been watching very closely in the Fulton County Georgia Election subversion cases. Lets get to zach for the details on what we just learned from the judge. Zach . Reporter john the judge in the Georgia Elections subversion case just issuing a new order, that donald trump and 16 or codefendants wont have a trial in october but theyre going to start the evidentiary process and theyll move forward with a date to be determined later the first definitive break in this Sprawling Rico Conspiracy case and it goes against what fani willis the District Attorney in georgia has been saying her position is, she wanted to try all 19 of these defendants at the same time, a Hearing Today Where A Motions hearing for the two defendants who have requested a speedy trial Sidney Powell and ken chesebro. So just to be clear, Kenneth Chesebro and sidney and those trials are set for 17 others including donald trump at a date to be determined and those cases have been severed, but we have one of the cases just five weeks away. Zach cohen, keep us posted on that and that ruling is obviously going to get more information throughout the morning including the live hearing with judge scott mcafee. Stay with us.

New details this morning about the capture of the escaped killer Danelo Cavalcante and the acts of the heroic dog who we now know is named yoda. Cnn is told that he planned to go to canada where they were so close to cavalcante that they nearly stepped on him three separate times. He is charged with felony escape, and Danny Freeman is in pennsylvania in Chester County where he has been for pretty much the whole search. Danny, give us some of the more details. We knew it was interesting with all of the things used to find him over 14 days, and how do we know what went down and what happened throughout the search. Yeah, sara, this new reporting that came out on Cnn Last Night is stunning. U. S. Marshals say that he was cooperative when he was questioned by the state police at the barracks after he was captured. I wanted to run through the major highlights and as you said, cavalcante said that he was almost stepped on three times as he was hiding in the brush and as the intense Law Enforcement sweeps came right by him, and also, we learned that cavalcante existed on watermelon and creek water for many days in the manhunt. He said that he covered up his feces at times to avoid detection by say canines trying to track his scent, and he surveillanced house from which he stole that rifle before he went in and stole the rifle. According to the investigators he was looking at it and cased it before he went n. He told the investigators as you noted that the next plan if he had not been captured that within 24 hours he was planning to car jack a vehicle and get up to canada if he could. And amazingly, this is one of the biggest revelation, sara, he told investigators he had absolutely no help in the 14day escape. I want you to listen to how the u. S.
