is this the equivalent of tom brady going to tampa? >> totally. as i said, lewis hamilton is the guy that transcends formula i. he is the driver that everyone knows of or has heard of. he is different than many of the others before and so successful as well. he has won so many world championships, seven. he wants this eighth world title. ferrari is an iconic brand. everyone is aware of ferrari. not to say people aren't aware of mercedes. ferrari, they competed in every year since formula i existed in 1950. they have been there every year. great history. the driver, the guy we all moe, is going to join them. it's a great story and a boost that f1 needed. hopefully, hamilton in a ferrari
6:01 am
can take the challenge. >> you make erica's day. it's a great story. thanks so much. we appreciate it. have a great weekend. "cnn news central" starts right now. a stunning first jobs report of 2024, dropping minutes ago. it was much better than expected. we will walk through the numbers for you. in a first of its kind trial, the mother of the michigan school shooter is about to be back on the stand, about to face cross examination from the prosecutors who say she could have and should have done and known more to stop her son from committing those horrific crimes. honoring those who risked it all. this morning, president biden will attend the dignified transfer for the u.s. troops killed in jordan. this is "cnn news central."
6:02 am
♪ just in this morning, a stunning jobs report shows 2024 has kicked off with a bang. 353,000 jobs were added last month. that is a much stronger gain than expected. the report comes days after the federal reserve kept interest rates on hold for the fourth time in a row. powell says he is encouraged about the healthy economy. joining me for all of this -- you come on the good times. i love to see it rahel. >> i'm taking all the credit. >> she's been waiting for these numbers. they just dropped. give us an example. >> 353,000 jobs added in the month of january. as you said, stunning. this is twice -- twice what wall street economists were expecting. the expectation was closer to 176,000. unemployment rate holding steady
6:03 am
for the third month in a row at 3.7. if this feels familiar, it's because it has been. we have been in this range. look over the last few years. we have been under 4% for the last two years, at least two years. so when we look at the industries or how we compare this month january to the prior months, december was revised up in a very big way. november was revised -- you hear john wowing over there. it's very shocking. november was revised up slightly. this was a stronger year than we had even expected. right? when you look at the industries where we added jobs in january, i thought this was interesting. an area where we hadn't seen a ton of job growth in 2023, white collar jobs, adding 74,000 jobs in january. to put that in context, in 2023, the average per month was closer to 14,000.
6:04 am
that is a pretty big deal. >> that's huge. >> health care, that say continuation of what we saw last year, adding 70,000 jobs. retail adding 45,000 jobs. erica hill made the great point in the last hour that whether you think about retail, you are talking about people shopping. if people are adding to their retail payrolls, it would assume -- >> the consumer is there. >> right. this is all just another sign of a labor market that continues to show some real signs of strength. what investors may not be as happy with is this suggests that when we do see rate cuts in 2024, they may be later in the year. we heard jay powell. >> the inflation game. >> we heard jay powell say that march is not their base case. they would look at reports like this as they decide when is the right time. a report like this makes a rate cut look more likely in the summer.
6:05 am
>> for people looking at buying homes, this is what they are watching. >> exactly. if you are feeling hot -- >> it's getting hot in here. >> exactly. it's because the labor market is showing some heat. >> she always brings the heat. rahel solomon. the reason why john was jumping up and down, he was on his 401. >> i'm schvitzing.ceeding expec. >> so hot. >> it is so hot that in a new cnn poll, we are starting to see these relentlessly positive job numbers have an impact perhaps on attitudes here. look at this. we asked, things going well in the country today. 35% say things are going well. that's not a great number when
6:06 am
you look at it in a vacuum. however, it ties a two-year high in some of the opinions over the last two years. this is a lot higher than it has been over the last two years. break it down by party. it's a similar story. 62% of democrats think things are going well. that's a big increase from the fall. 32% of independents. not a great number, but an increase from the fall. 14% of republicans think things are going well. a low number, but double what it was in the fall. how is joe biden being given credit for this? a little bit more. how is joe biden handling the economy? right now, 37% approve of the way he is handling the economy. again, not a great number in a vacuum. but up from what it was in november. you are starting to see these numbers move a little bit in the direction the white house would like to see. how have joe biden's policies
6:07 am
affected u.s. economic conditions? a very similar story. moving in the right direction for them. again, moving up from august, had no affect, stays the same. if you are the biden re-election campaign, you are excited that you are seeing improvement. this number right here, how is your financial situation? still, even with all these positive numbers we are seeing, 42% of people say their economic condition has worsened in the last year. that is what they are saying they feel. what the white house has to hope is more positive numbers like the one rahel and sara were talking about moves this lower. kate? >> we will get back to that. president biden and the first lady, they will be joining grieving families today at dover air force base to honor the three american service members who were killed in that drone attack in jordan last week.
6:08 am
can you walk us through what we're going to see today, what the president is going to be doing today, and what the families will be experiencing today? >> reporter: kate, it is one of the most somber duties a commander in chief has, being on hand for these dignified transfers of the three u.s. service members. president biden and first lady sk jill biden will travel to dover to do that. they will arrive at dover air force base around 11:30. they have about an hour scheduled where they can meet one on one with the families who are grieving the loss of their loved ones. as you mentioned, william rivers as well as two army specialists who were promoted to the rank of sergeant. that includes kennedy sanders and breonna moffett.
6:09 am
they will attend the dignified transfer, which is a very solemn ceremony, where defense secretary lloyd austin and chairman of the joint chiefs of staff c.q. brown will be on hand. president biden spoke with the families on tuesday. in the calls, he gauged what their feelings were like about having him on hand for the dignified transfer. the white house said all agreed they would like to have him there. the president also spoke by phone with the mother and father of kennedy sanders. we got a very rare glimpse into that phone call where he himself shared the news about p posthumously promoting sanders. >> we are promoting her to sergeant. >> wow. that is the best news i have heard today. thank you so much. you don't know how much that means to us. >> i tell you what, it means a lot to me. i know the day will come -- the
6:10 am
day will come when you walk by a park you used to play -- kennedy used to play in or you open a closet and smell the fragrance of her clothing or something like that, and you will smile before you cry. that's when you know you will make it. it takes a long time to get there. i promise, you will get there. >> quite an emotional moment there. it's expected to be an emotional moment today when president biden meets with the families. this will be the second dignified transfer the president has attended in his role as commander in chief. in 2021, he was there on hand when 13 american service members returned after they were killed in the line of fire on duty in afghanistan. this will mark first time that president biden is appearing publically with defense secretary lloyd austin after his recent hospitalization as he was receiving treatment for prostate cancer and an infection had a occurred after that treatment.
6:11 am
austin said he has personally apologized to president biden for not informing him sooner and has said the president has been quite gracious in his response. all of the focus for president biden today will be on the families of the three service members as he is on hand for the dignified transfer later this morning. >> as they arrive, a very important -- a very tough step in the long road home for these soldiers. very tough step for the families who will be there today. thank you so much. any minute now, the prosecution gets its first chance to grill jennifer crumbley, the mother of the michigan school shooter. you are taking a live look at the courtroom. so far, the jury has not been called in. you are looking at the judge who is doing some pre-trial discussions with the prosecutor and the defense. crumbley took the stand in her
6:12 am
own defense yesterday. an unusual step in trials like this. she said she would not have done anything differently and that she did not know her son was having mental health issues. jean a jury is not in there yet. the prosecution won't go easy on jennifer crumbley. they are trying to do this cross examination. what do you think they are most likely going to address after her testimony yesterday? >> it's going to be aggressive. what you are talking about, they are having an argument right now. it's substantial. this is -- as to your question, remember after the shooting, they did the search of the house, law enforcement. the prosecution's theory is they fled, the couple fled from the area. the defense is saying, we were getting threats on social media. we were scared. so we went to a motel, stayed
6:13 am
there for a couple nights and then ended up in a friend's building in detroit. yesterday, jennifer crumbley said, i contacted my attorney, you, we had a discussion, i asked for your advice, you talked to me about turning ourselves in. prosecutors said, no attorney/client privilege. that is pierced open because you talked about that on the stand. we want all the texts between you and your attorney about turning yourself in. attorney/client privilege is sacred. this is -- we will see what the judge does. it's something that is hold with the highest esteem. you know that because of your involvement in the law and your family. your husband is an attorney, a prosecutor. you know that. on the stand yesterday, she talked about many things, but it's her state of mind, her delivery, that is what the jury is looking at. let's take a listen.
6:14 am
>> i asked myself if i would have done anything differently. i wouldn't have. >> if you could change what happened, would you? >> absolutely. i wish he would have killed us instead. >> that may be, sara, a pivotal beginning for cross. i wouldn't have changed a thing. boom. the prosecutor can go into that on cross examination and list all the different things that could have been changed in that household. >> wow. there's so many things going on with this case, unusual things. piercing that attorney/client privilege is major. the fact that she has taken the stand, this is why they don't want defendants to take the stand. there are things might not expect they say that the prosecution can jump on. thank you so much. i know you are watching this and let us know when it starts again. we will go to it live. we will cover the entire cross examination throughout the morning.
6:15 am
a fiery scene as a plane crashes into a mobile home park. we have new detail on the investigation. get ready for an early spring. the big rodent has spoken. >> glad tidings on this groundhog day. an early spring is on the way!

6:19 am
new reporting on how president biden really feels about donald trump behind closed doors. the president has described trump to longtime friends and close aides as a sick f who delights in other's misfortunes, according to three people who have heard the president use the profane description. according to one of the people who spoke with the president, biden said of trump, what a
6:20 am
blanking blank hole the guy is. i'm joined by former national security advisor under then president trump, ambassador john bolton, who has a new forward for his memoir "the room where it happened." the first line is, donald trump may well be re-elected president, becoming the second person to win non-consecutive terms. thank you for being with us. that reporting on the choice words that president biden uses to describe donald trump, how closely does that align with your view? >> well, i think in personality terms, i think president biden has it pretty well nailed. i would say this, it's not the personality of donald trump that's the problem. it's his lack of competence to do the job. the personality is unpleasant. many people say, we can deal with the personality. i like something else. it's not the personality that's the problem. he doesn't understand the job,
6:21 am
particularly in the national security space. he didn't learn much in the first four years. he hasn't learned anything since then. >> why is it that you, who worked in the administration, former attorney general bill barr, former defense secretary, nikki haley, the former ambassador to the united nations, why is it so many people who worked for him at the white house feel that way? >> well, i think if you are in the circumstances people like john kelly as well that saw him every day that we were on the job, it's pretty hard to hide the problems and the deficiencies. i voted for trump in 2016 on the theory that knowing everything that we had heard about him then, on the theory that it was a better choice than hillary clinton. but i acknowledge that when i saw him in operation, my hope that he would be disciplined by the gravity of his responsibilities simply hadn't
6:22 am
worked. nothing disciplines his thinking. i don't plan to vote for him this year. i didn't vote for him in 2020. i'm not going to vote for biden either. i think he is dangerous for the country in other ways. i'm going to write in somebody. >> it's interesting. i think this is a question a lot of people have. how is what you saw behind closed doors that different from what you saw in public with donald trump? >> increasingly, you see more of it in public of the same behavior as behind closed doors. i met trump before the 2016 election, had conversations with him, had conversations with him after he was elected, before i took the job as national security advisor. it was my expectation, which i will fully admit turned out to be wrong, that like every other president before him, the consequences of his decisions in the foreign and defense policy field would discipline his
6:23 am
thinking and lead us to coherent policies. that turned out to be wrong. obviously, i can't unlearn what i saw every day during 17 months there. >> you have this forward to your book in which you lay out page after page about your concerns of what happens if donald trump gets re-elected. it's so clear to you. you have such clarity. why do you think it isn't then clear to voters for whom right now he is leading joe biden? >> i think trump's had a remarkable ability to turn what for any other politician would be adversity to his advantage. i think the support that he has -- i wish we republicans were doing a better job at explaining to our fellow party members why this is potentially such a disastrous nomination -- is that he appeals to their feelings of alienation and abuse by what they see is the political establishment. go back to 2016, hillary clinton
6:24 am
called trump supporters deplorables. they took it as a badge of honor. this is a mark of the divide we have in the country, which trump has exacerbated for his own political purposes and made worse. >> again, another way of asking that i suppose is, why is it that you and so many others who feel like you have the clarity, why can't you beat him? >> honestly, i have tried in a lot of different ways. i thought of running myself. i didn't do that. i would hope the message writers, the image makers in the republican party would have found ways to go after trump more effectively. i confess to being completely frustrated, like many other people in the party. i don't think the nomination is completely over with. it's not an easy stretch. but i think it's still important to do what we can. i think not only would the country suffer gravely if trump were re-elected, i think the republican party would suffer, too.
6:25 am
>> you, again, write about what you see as the dangers of donald trump winning. i want to talk about if president biden is re-elected, what happens, do you think, after november of 2024? what will happen in that period between his re-election and the inauguration? >> i think biden is likely, in his second term, to continue the policies he pursued in the first. where i worry about trump being completely feckless in his approach to national security, i think the president, three years of evidence the president's policies to date show he pursues a weak line to america's disadvantage. we see the consequences with russia's second invasion of ukraine in 2022. we see iran and its terror surrogate utterly undeterred by u.s. power. we see china increasingly
6:26 am
looking to take advantage with respect to taiwan and the south china sea and elsewhere. we do not see the level of defense spending that we desperately need. as i say, that's why i'm not going to vote for either one of them. both in their own ways, i think, are doing grave damage to our national security. >> if president biden wins at the polls, do you think there will be another january 6? >> well, i don't know for sure, obviously. i don't think so. i think this is important to understand what the trump threat is. i think he would do grave damage to the country, maybe irreparable damage in some respects, if he were re-elected. i think when people call it an existential threat to democracy, they are overstating the case. if they are not assessing the threat accurately, they can't deal with it. apart from driving trump's base itself just into further
6:27 am
recalc recalcitrance. trump tried to steal this. i think it will be harder if he tries to steal it this november. >> one question on policy. if donald trump is elected again, what happens to ukraine? >> well, i'm very worried about it. i inclination to support ukraine. he said he would get zelenskyy and putin in a room together and solve the problem, which isn't going to happen. his natural inclination is that his buddy putin couldn't be the responsible party here. it's very dangerous for ukraine. >> ambassador john bolton, thank you for speaking with us this morning. look forward to talking to you again. >> thank you. the mother of the michigan school shooter is set to be back on the stand this morning. now a potential delay. we will bring you an update we are getting from the courtroom from this first of its kind

6:32 am
we are still waiting at this point for cross examination of jennifer crumbley to begin in a michigan courtroom. you remember that she is the mother on trial because her son ended up in a school and shot and killed four people. she's now being prosecuted for potential involuntary manslaughter. there is so much going on in this case. jean cansarez is watching this.
6:33 am
they are talking about an important issue. what could happen here? could we see text between the attorney and crumbley? >> that is normally attorney/client privilege. the judge just said on the stand, this is for me to waive attorney/client privilege. that is a very serious situation. she's not ready to do it right now. here is what it is. yesterday, when jennifer crumbley was on the stand, they were talking about them staying in detroit, staying at hotels. the prosecution's theory is they fled. i heard in opening statements canada potentially they thought they might be going to. the defense is saying they were getting threats. we have seen some of the threats on social media, purporting violence against them. they were scared. she testified to that. that's why they were going to a motel and went to a place in detroit. always intending to turn themselves in. apparently, there are texts between jennifer crumbley and
6:34 am
her attorney about them out of the jurisdiction, turning themselves in. prosecutors said, you opened the door. jennifer crumbley opened the door yesterday. we should have all of that. the judge is looking at these communications between an attorney and a client to see if she is going to waive that privilege and can be cross examined. the defense doesn't think that she was going to turn herself in. >> just so you know, this is such a huge issue. attorney/client privilege is a big deal. we are still watching the judge. the judge is talking on the stand right now. usually, they would have started already. there are all these issues they are trying to work out. talk about how they would do this. would the judge decide exactly what the prosecutors would get? someone other than the prosecution is going to have to look at the texts to make sure they are not going beyond the scope of what was said on the
6:35 am
stand. correct? >> absolutely. the judge is going to have to look at each and every one of the text messages and make that ultimate decision. you can believe that if this judge does decide that the text messages are coming in, you can expect the defense lawyer to immediately ask perhaps for the trial to be halted, to cease the proceedings so she can file an immediate appeal of the matter. text messages between a lawyer and a client are rarely if ever brought into a trial. it doesn't allow for the violation or for the opening up of the attorney/client privilege. it will be interesting to see how this judge decides this issue. >> there have been so many things in this particular case, whether it be writings in a
6:36 am
journal by ethan crumbley, the shooter in this case, or the mom taking the stand. give us some sense of how up usual it is for a defendant in a case like this to take the stand and then say things that are opening up more possibilities for the prosecution to delve deeper into what happened and all her conversations with her attorneys. >> that's why you don't see very many defendants take the witness stand, even in their own defense, in cases where they may have something to say and perhaps they have things that could cause the jurors to believe that they are guilty. it's dangerous. it's risky. as you just said, you could open the door inadvertently just by making a statement. before you know it, you can find yourself in this kind of dispute that's happening before our very eyes in real time. i'm sure that jennifer and her lawyer went over her testimony for hours and hours and hours
6:37 am
before she took the witness stand. even after you have been fully prepared by an attorney, it's so easy to make the kind of comment that jennifer made on the witness stand. it's so easy to find yourself in a line of questioning that was not anticipated by the attorney. it is always risky. >> we should mention also, it's intimidating to be on a stand. it's intimidating to be in a courtroom, whether you are the defendant or you are just a witness. there is a nerve factor that always happens here, which is something attorneys warn their clients about as well. we will check back in. thank you so much. we will be waiting when they do start cross examination and we will bring did to you live. >> we are keeping a close eye on that courtroom. we have the live camera in there for us all. there's this, it's deadline day for willis. what we are watching for in georgia and what it could mean for donald trump's election subversion case there.
6:38 am
we will be back.
6:39 am
6:40 am
6:41 am
6:42 am
it's deadline day for willis, the fulton county district attorney. she must respond today. this has to do with the allegations that have been brought by some of trump's co-defendants and trump himself that she had an inappropriate relationship with the lead prosecutors she appointed to this case. that threatens to derail one of the serious criminal cases again
6:43 am
f against the former president. you have had exclusive reporting. what do you expect to happen today? >> reporter: this will be the first time we will see willis address the allegations you mentioned of an improper romantic relationship with her lead prosecutors. it's going to focus on disputing the legal argument raised by trump's attorney and trump's two co-defendants that she should be disqualified because of the allegations. they argue the case should be thrown out. that's a heavy focus of her response that we anticipate getting today. she has been involved in crafting this language. i'm told that by multiple sources. she's been quiet publically. behind the scenes, focused on the effort to get her pushed out of the case. it does set up a crucial two-week window. we have this hearing on the allegations scheduled for february 15th. she has been subpoenaed to testify at that hearing. looking ahead, the judge has
6:44 am
really made a point to project fairness in this case. it's entirely possible that she will be forced to take the stand in this hearing in two weeks. that hearing will be dictated and set up around her response today. >> it's going to be really interesting to see what happens in that hearing with judge mcafee. thank you for bringing your reporting. in less than one week, the supreme court is going to hear arguments on whether or not donald trump can stay on the ballot in colorado. his legal team is preparing their strategy. the case was kicked to the high court after colorado determined trump should not be allowed to run for office because of his role in the january 6 insurrection. a similar ruling was reached in maine. joan, as you look at this, what are you learning about how attorneys on both sides of this case are preparing to argue this case, which is a hugely impactful case?
6:45 am
this is about the president, this is about his ability to run in two states. it couldn't get bigger, really. >> no. it's six days and counting. as you said, consider the stakes. it could determine who is the next president of the united states, at least who ends up on the ballot. consider the pressure. we have two relatively inexperienced lawyers before these justices. one lawyer, jason murray, representing the colorado voters who do not want trump on the ballot, has never argued before the justices. he has strengths we will get to. but he never appeared at the lectern there. jonathan mitchell, appearing on behalf of donald trump, has argued a handful of times before the justices but nothing like this kind of case. how are they getting ready? they are both, as of today, moving their operations to washington, d.c. and tapping into a very sophisticated network of lawyers who have argued many times before the justices and can help channel the justices.
6:46 am
one of the main devices they will use are these dry runs called moot courts. that's where four or five lawyers, not nine as in the real venue, four or five lawyers sit up on a mock bench or at a table and fire questions at these individual lawyers. it gives them a chance to not just practice their presentation, but to expose weaknesses in their presentation so they can fix things ahead of time. there's an adage that says the tougher the moot court, easier the actual thing. there will be the kinds of individuals that organizers of moot courts try to get are folks -- men and women with several arguments, dozens of arguments under their belt. they often turn to former members of the u.s. solicitor general's office, which represents the federal government at the court and argues often. they turn to former law clerks. they turn to a host of repeat practitioners. many of those moot judges,
6:47 am
pretend justices, take on the ten d tendencies of the justices. everyone knows that justices kagan on the left and alito on the right can throw these wild hypotheticals that will target the real weaknesses of a case. you also have to keep your eye on john roberts at the ideological center. those are the ones to try to win over. >> the moot court is so, so, so important. for attorneys, this is like preparing for the super bowl, if you want to make -- right? going in front of the judges is extremely rare and huge, especially in -- this case -- you are looking at some of the most exciting times for the supreme court as a reporter. this has to be incredible for you to watch all of this happening. i can't wait to hear what it's like in there. >> i will be right there in the courtroom watching. >> i know you will. i appreciate it. thank you.
6:48 am
authorities searching the scene of a small plane crash in florida where several people were killed. we have new details on the investigation.
6:49 am
6:50 am
6:51 am
6:52 am
new this morning, authorities are investigating a small plane crash that killed several people at a florida mobile home park. officials say the plane was found predominantly in one home, and three others then ignited in a fiery crash. the faa says the pilot reported engine failure before disappearing from radar about three miles from the runway. omar jimenez has the latest details on this for us. boy, this is an awful scenario. do we know what time this happened? it looks like it was dark there and people were probably in their homes, had no idea. >> yeah, a really awful scenario. one witness described hearing what sounded like an explosion and then seeing this fire ball and multiple mobile homes on fire. we are just learning from our preliminary faa report that was just released this morning, yes, this happened just past 7:00 p.m. yesterday, but also three
6:53 am
people were killed in this crash. one person in the plane, believed to be the pilot at this point, two on the ground, believed to be in the home that this small plane crashed into. again, as we understand from authorities, this plane was -- did put out a distress signal, essentially the pilot saying, "mayday, mayday," so it alerted air traffic control there was an issue and something the pilot was conscious of at the time. the plane went off radar 3 miles or so past the clearwater, florida, airport runway. this is where this happened in clear ja clearwater, florida. where the plane went off radar is the location of the trailer park mobile home area where the plane crashed into one. there was either some sort of explosion, at the very least flames that then spread to four other mobile homes, as well. again, as we learned from the
6:54 am
faa, one person killed, believed to be the only person inside this plane, again, based on preliminary data, the pilot being the only one, and then the two that were killed were on the ground. though authorities did say last night they were working to put out the hot spots so they could work through the scene and try to see if there were potentially people trapped under debris or just to make sure they're covering all their bases here. now, the only other thing will say is that, yes, the faa, according to them, this was due to engine failure. that's what was reported last night. this report, interestingly, says the aircraft crashed under unknown circumstances. this could just be a situation where they're trying to be as cautious as possible until they have a final conclusion. at the very least, a tragic situation. >> one of those unexpected ways to die. what a horrible scenario there. omar jimenez, thank you so much for the reporting. john. this morning, california bracing for a powerful storm, a so-called atmospheric river
6:55 am
could flood more of the state after torrential rains left roads underwitater yesterday. people were rescued from streets and homes. seven migrants were arrested who were on the run. four of them were charged and released and used false names to get bus tickets from a charity, and they are believed to be headed by bus to mexico. 137 137 passengers and officials on the cruise ship are sick. the cruise ship left england last month on an around the world voyage with stops the aruba, california, and hawaii. the affected passengers and crew have been isolated while they recover. the ship is cleaning and disinfecting, good news for the 2,000 people still on board the ship. and if you're looking for some warmer weather, look at
6:56 am
this. >> it's punxsutawney phil! >> the national media scam. punxsutawney phil, the renowned groundhog weather predictor, he says there will be an early spring. connecticut's scramble, the duck, agrees with phil. his city of eastford claims he has been 100% accurate, but lucy the lobster in nova scotia -- >> whags hat is happening? >> i've lost the thread. lucy the lobster says, not so fast. apparently, the lobster saw her shadow, which means it could be another six weeks of winter. all right. there's more. >> wait, there is? >> bk bob, the texas armadillo, will make his prediction this
