in Los Angeles, and 6 p.m. here
0:36
in New York, I'm Mark Menes, and wherever
0:39
you are in the world, this is
0:41
your first murder. Welcome
0:54
to First Move and here's today's
0:56
need to know. Donald Trump ordering
0:59
a facility at Guantanamo Bay to
1:01
prepare to hold 30,000 migrants. And
1:03
the US president is said to
1:06
have settled his lawsuit against meta.
1:08
We're told the company will pay
1:11
$25 million for suspending his account
1:13
after January 6th. RFK Jr. Clashes
1:15
with Democrats over vaccines and abortion
1:18
rights. And yesterday we spoke to
1:20
the founder of a charity trapped
1:22
amid fighting in the DRC. Today
1:24
he tells us of his escape.
1:27
That conversation and plenty more coming
1:29
up. But first, President Donald
1:31
Trump ordering to prepare the U.S.
1:33
naval base at Guantanamo Bay in
1:36
Cuba to house tens of thousands
1:38
of migrants. Today I'm also
1:40
signing an executive order to
1:42
instruct the Departments of Defense
1:44
and Homeland Security to begin
1:47
preparing the 30,000 person migrant
1:49
facility at Guantanamo Bay. Most
1:51
people don't even know about
1:53
it. We have 30,000 beds
1:55
in Guantanamo. And you're speaking
1:58
just ahead of signing the Lake.
2:00
Riley Act into law, the first
2:02
bill of his second presidency, we
2:04
should note. It requires the detention
2:07
of undocumented migrants charged with or
2:09
convicted of certain crimes, including theft
2:11
and burglary. Under the Trump administration,
2:13
we're moving with urgency and speed to
2:15
get these vicious and violent criminals the
2:18
hell out of our country and to
2:20
restore law in order to our suburbs,
2:22
our cities, and our towns. The law
2:24
is named after Lake and Riley
2:26
a 22 year old nursing student
2:29
who was killed last year while
2:31
out for a run in Georgia
2:33
an undocumented immigrant from Venezuela was
2:35
convicted and sentenced to life in
2:37
prison over her killing Meanwhile, the
2:39
White House has now rescinded a memo
2:41
that froze federal grants and loans creating
2:43
widespread confusion earlier this week. CNN politics
2:45
senior reporter Stephen Collinson is with me
2:48
now. So Stephen, I actually want to
2:50
start with the category of his first
2:52
bill of this second presidency, immigration, because
2:54
he signed the Lake and Riley Act,
2:56
but he also used the opportunity to
2:58
announce he'll be ordering the federal government
3:00
to repair that 30,000 person migrant facility
3:02
at the Guantanamo Bay, naval base to
3:05
house migrants. So he's now signed the
3:07
memo to do that. What is it
3:09
signal to you that this was the
3:11
topic of his first bill sign? Well
3:13
immigration is what Trump believes
3:16
won him this election. A lot
3:18
of people would say it was
3:20
the high grocery prices but Trump
3:22
today as he has before since
3:25
he took... the oath of office,
3:27
says he believes it was immigration.
3:29
And so the Lake and Riley
3:31
bill is in memory of a
3:34
student in Georgia who was killed
3:36
by an undocumented migrant while she
3:38
was out jogging and her case
3:40
and the tragedy became a huge
3:43
point of contention during the election
3:45
campaign last year. It was seized
3:47
upon by Trump and Republicans to
3:49
give... some oxygen to their claims
3:51
that they needed to be a
3:53
much harder line on immigration. So
3:55
that's why this was such an
3:58
important bill for him to... It
4:00
was a bipartisan bill, some
4:02
Democrats signed it, which I
4:04
think shows us how the
4:06
American public has moved to
4:08
the right somewhat on immigration.
4:10
It requires detention for undocumented
4:13
migrants accused of violent crimes.
4:15
Now, the Guantanamo thing is
4:17
really interesting because of course
4:19
this is very symbolic. For
4:21
Trump, it is a symbol
4:23
of toughness. He's been cultivating
4:25
this image of strength when
4:27
it comes to immigration. and
4:30
Guantanamo Bay where the 9-11
4:32
terrorists were held. is seen
4:34
in that light by many
4:36
Americans. Of course, for Democrats,
4:38
it's a symbol of ruptured
4:40
due process. Khalid Sheikh Muhammad,
4:42
one of the key architects
4:44
of 9-11, is still being
4:46
held at Guantanamo Bay, and
4:48
the reason is because they
4:50
can't bring him to trial
4:52
a civilian courts because of
4:55
enhanced interrogation techniques. So for
4:57
many liberals and people in
4:59
the United States and abroad...
5:01
Guantanamo Bay is a stain
5:03
on America's reputation. So I
5:05
think this is going to
5:07
be very politically significant in
5:09
the days ahead. Yeah, and this facility
5:11
at the naval base expected to hold
5:13
up to 30,000 capacities. So we'll see
5:15
the speed at which that becomes potentially
5:18
used. I also want to ask about
5:20
the other bit of news we've been
5:22
following today because the White House also
5:24
rescinded a memo that froze federal grants
5:26
and loans and of course created some
5:29
confusion at the very least anxiety for
5:31
many groups across the country. It's also
5:33
faced some legal challenges. But do you
5:35
see this dynamic as a one-off, a
5:38
just getting started situation situation or... or
5:40
one that comes with the territory
5:42
of rapid and sweeping executive
5:44
action? Well, I think we
5:47
could say that Donald Trump
5:49
lost his opening battle with
5:51
the US government, but this
5:53
war that he and Elon
5:55
Musk will wage against federal
5:58
officials and what they say. as
6:00
bloated government spending will continue
6:02
and will intensify. This was a
6:04
real fast. The White House
6:06
announced this freeze, temporary freeze on
6:08
federal spending earlier this week,
6:10
but nobody really knew what it
6:12
meant and it led to
6:14
the shutdown of many federal programs
6:16
throughout the state. It's great
6:18
confusion about what it meant, for
6:20
example, for Meals on Wheels
6:22
programs or healthcare for seniors. There
6:24
was real panic and I
6:27
think, as you imply, it was
6:29
a case of the White House
6:31
trying to act very quickly
6:33
and with great symbolic dispatch
6:35
and it all went wrong
6:37
and they had to rescind
6:39
it today. I think it
6:41
is a sign, of course,
6:43
that Elon Musk's plans to gut
6:45
the federal government in terms of
6:47
spending and staffing is going to
6:49
cause a great deal of disruption
6:51
and it may be more disruption
6:53
than President Donald Trump had banked
6:55
on and it could end up
6:58
being very unpopular. So, in some
7:00
ways this is a warning for
7:02
the administration, but they're vowing to
7:04
press on. It's one of the
7:06
key goals of the second Trump
7:08
presidency to really/the size of the
7:10
federal government and to get rid
7:12
of, indeed, many bureaucrats who they
7:15
believe have long frustrated
7:17
the conservatives' aspirations of
7:19
Republican presidents. And we did
7:21
hear that in defending the freeze
7:23
the White House described it as
7:25
an evaluation period of sorts, but
7:27
definitely caused a lot of anxiety
7:29
for many groups across the country. Stephen
7:31
Collison really appreciated it. Thanks for
7:33
being here. Meanwhile, the Cuban government
7:35
strongly criticizing President Trump's plan to
7:37
detain migrants at that facility at
7:39
Guantanamo Bay. Patrick Oppmann is live in
7:42
Havana for us. So Patrick, I
7:44
mean, what is the government saying
7:46
at this point? They're
7:49
calling it an act of brutality, certainly
7:51
for the Cuban government, which has
7:54
received a lot of harsh criticism from
7:56
the U .S. over the years for
7:58
its own human rights records. this is
8:00
an opportunity to hit back. But
8:02
of course, you know, how this
8:04
is all going to work is
8:06
going to really be fastening to
8:09
watch unfold because, you know, over
8:11
the years, certainly the US Navy
8:13
Base in Guantanamo, which is very
8:15
much separate from the rest of
8:17
Cuba, we're talking about something that
8:19
really harkens back to the Cold
8:21
War. It's called the Cactus Curtain,
8:23
because of course, it is heavily
8:25
guarded on the US side by
8:28
the US Marines. that Cuba wants
8:30
in its territory, but they really can't do
8:32
anything about it. So this is not a
8:34
base you can really. access at all from
8:36
the Cuban side. I've been as close as
8:38
you can be in some of the off-limits
8:41
areas allowed by the government one time in
8:43
my more than a decade here in Cuba.
8:45
And it's just guard posts and a lot
8:47
of barbed wire. And there used to be
8:49
the largest minefield in the world there. So
8:51
certainly it is a secure place as any
8:54
in the world to house these people. I
8:56
imagine there would be flown in as we've
8:58
seen over the last several days by military
9:00
aircraft. And then how long, you
9:03
know, 30,000 migrants, if it reaches
9:05
that number, migrants that apparently no
9:07
other country wants to take, you
9:09
know, how long they would be
9:11
in essentially tent camp conditions at
9:13
the Guantanamo Navy base, you know,
9:15
that's not clear. Would they be
9:18
like the 9-11 terror suspects who
9:20
have spent years, if not decades
9:22
waiting trial? Would they be in
9:24
sort of this legal limbo that
9:26
exists on the base? And what
9:28
is their due process? What is
9:30
their... their right to see an
9:32
immigration judge mean if they are
9:34
essentially no longer on US soil
9:37
but on this military base that
9:39
is kind of a legal world
9:41
of its own. So it is
9:43
opening up the US to criticism
9:45
certainly as your previous guest Stephen
9:47
was saying you know this is
9:49
Trump's way of showing that he's
9:51
the toughest of the tough on
9:53
immigration because really over the years
9:55
of what people have described as
9:57
there's pretty much no tougher place
9:59
on... to be housed to be incarcerated
10:01
essentially as a Guantanamo Navy base. But
10:04
for these prisoners, and many of them
10:06
may even be Cuba on Cuban because
10:08
it does not appear at this point
10:10
that Cuba is going to accept any
10:12
of these deportation flights. So of course
10:15
that would be an incredible irony for
10:17
Cubans to be sent to this base
10:19
where they would essentially be back on
10:21
their island but unable to return home.
10:24
And that memo has been signed but
10:26
remains to be seen at the
10:28
pace with which this expected operation
10:30
gets going or this facility facility
10:32
begins use. Patrick Otman, really appreciate
10:34
the reporting from the ground in
10:36
Cuba for us. I want to
10:39
bring you another developing story out
10:41
of the Trump White House, a
10:43
source telling CNN that President Trump
10:45
has settled his lawsuit against meta.
10:47
Now the suit was related to
10:49
meta's decision to suspend Trump's account
10:51
after the January 6th capital riot.
10:54
agreement Wednesday at the White House
10:56
and we're told Meadow will pay
10:58
some 25 million dollars and that
11:01
most of the money will go
11:03
toward a future presidential library. Sarah
11:05
Fisher is a CNN media analyst
11:08
and Axios Media correspondent. Good to
11:10
see you Sarah. So can you
11:12
just explain the significance of what
11:14
we are learning here? Yeah so basically
11:17
this is meta. trying again to get
11:19
in good graces with the Trump administration.
11:21
You'll recall that over the past month,
11:23
they've done so much to curry favor
11:26
with Donald Trump and his cabinet. If
11:28
you think about it, Mark Zuckerberg has
11:30
now dined twice with Trump at Maralago,
11:32
once before Thanksgiving, and once in the
11:35
new year, he donated a million dollars
11:37
to Trump's inauguration fund. He showed up
11:39
to inauguration. He's rolled back DEA policies.
11:41
So all of these things suggest that
11:44
meta is trying really hard to really
11:46
get involved with the conservative era
11:48
in Washington DC. In making this
11:50
settlement today, they're essentially just continuing
11:53
on that path. One of the
11:55
things that's notable is that meta
11:57
stands by its content moderation policies.
11:59
with such conviction. So for them to
12:02
settle here basically is saying, look, we
12:04
are not defending what we did when
12:06
we banned your accounts after the January
12:08
6th siege. We are conceding that you
12:11
might have had a point. We don't
12:13
want to have any sort of bad
12:15
issues or bad blood going into the
12:17
next four years. So Sarah, take us
12:20
back to when this, when the suspension
12:22
first went into place. Feels like a
12:24
world of difference in regards to relationship
12:26
between Mark Zuckerberg and Donald Trump. But
12:28
just take us back to that point
12:31
when Donald Trump's account was actually suspended
12:33
after January 6. It was a wild
12:35
time because every single major tech company,
12:37
both from a social media perspective, but
12:40
also on the back end, you know,
12:42
cloud companies, website hosting companies. They all
12:44
were banning Donald Trump. I remember I
12:46
was writing a new story about this
12:48
every day, but the meta suspensions were
12:51
a big deal because you'll recall that
12:53
Donald Trump relied very heavily on meta
12:55
to run ads for his campaign. Once
12:57
you get suspended from these platforms, you
13:00
can no longer run ads. So there's
13:02
a lot of concern about how this
13:04
would impact Donald Trump's future business and
13:06
political dealings. When they brought him back
13:09
in 2023, it's good to remember. They
13:11
didn't just bring him back without conditions.
13:13
His accounts were subject to very certain
13:15
types of policy. to ensure that he
13:17
wouldn't violate their rules again. But now
13:20
it seems as though the bad blood
13:22
between meta and Donald Trump is finally
13:24
clearing up. And I think this settlement
13:26
really suggests how much they want to
13:29
make sure the air is cleared as
13:31
they face things like a major FTC
13:33
investigation in April and other potentially punitive
13:35
regulations that are being discussed on Capitol
13:38
Hill. And last thing, Sarah, what does
13:40
meta and Zuckerberg get out of this?
13:42
What do they get out of this?
13:45
Well, I think from a regulatory
13:47
perspective, they really want to ensure
13:49
that this government is going to
13:51
prioritize the needs of American companies
13:54
like meta. And they're trying to
13:56
frame this as a national security
13:58
advance over places like China. that
14:00
also have big social media apps
14:02
like TikTok. So for them, they
14:04
want to make sure that they
14:07
are embracing this deregulatory environment. I
14:09
also think for meta. scale is
14:11
super important for them. And so
14:13
they never wanted to isolate conservative
14:15
users. They had been framed as
14:17
being a progressive company for so
14:20
many years, in part because they're
14:22
Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley tends
14:24
to have a lot of liberal
14:26
engineers and staffers, but also in
14:28
part because their content moderation policies
14:30
became very strict over the past
14:33
few years, and sort of shifting
14:35
to the right. Yes, it helps
14:37
them with their government affairs relationships,
14:39
but it also has helped them
14:41
send a broader message to the
14:43
American people. It's most lucrative user
14:46
base that Metas apps Facebook Instagram
14:48
WhatsApp are open for all types
14:50
of people across the political spectrum
14:52
Sarah Fisher really appreciate you being
14:54
here. Thanks for taking the time
14:56
Good to see you. Thank you.
14:59
Of course All right, Robert F.
15:01
Kennedy Jr. was grilled on Capitol
15:03
Hill about his past comments on
15:05
vaccines. Trump's pick for health secretary
15:07
also fielded questions about everything from
15:09
abortion to Lyme disease. Now his
15:12
nomination has faced skepticism from both
15:14
sides of the aisle, especially over
15:16
his past criticism of vaccines. Manu
15:18
Raju has more from Capitol Hill.
15:20
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Senate
15:22
Democrats in a contentious back and
15:25
forth during his high-stakes confirmation hearing
15:27
today. Kids might die, but Robert
15:29
Kennedy can keep cashing in. The
15:31
only thing I want is good
15:33
science, and that's it. With his
15:35
nomination to lead the nation's health
15:38
agencies on the line. Democrats time
15:40
and again took Kennedy to task
15:42
over his past statements on vaccines.
15:44
There's no vaccine that is, you
15:46
know, safe and effective. Are you
15:48
lying to Congress today when you
15:51
say you are pro-vaccine? Or did
15:53
you lie on all those podcasts?
15:55
I said, there are no vaccines
15:57
that are safe and effective and
15:59
I was going to continue for
16:01
every... person. Every medicine has people
16:04
who are sensitive to them. And
16:06
so bringing this up right now
16:08
is dishonest. And it's unfounded claim
16:10
that COVID targets people by their
16:12
ethnicity. The people who are most
16:14
men are asking us to choose.
16:17
Did you say that it targets
16:19
black and white people but spared
16:21
us? I quoted a study or
16:23
an NIH study that showed that
16:25
certain rate. But Kennedy, from the
16:27
start, argued he was not anti-Vax.
16:30
News reports have claimed that
16:32
I am anti-vaccine or any
16:34
industry. I am neither. I
16:36
am pro-saving. Republicans defended Kennedy.
16:38
a former Democrat who now
16:40
has vowed to stay in
16:43
line with Trump's positions, even
16:45
on issues like abortion. I
16:47
serve as a pleasure of
16:49
the president on getting implemented
16:51
his policies. And on Kennedy's
16:53
pledge to find answers on
16:55
causes of chronic illness. I
16:58
thought, wow, here's somebody from
17:00
the left, somebody I don't agree
17:02
with on many issues politically,
17:04
coming together with President
17:06
Trump. and
17:09
focusing on an area of agreement.
17:11
And all these Democrats are opposed to
17:13
me for partisan issues. They used to
17:16
be my friends. But as Kennedy sought
17:18
to ease GOP concerns over abortion, he
17:20
opened himself up to democratic attacks. My
17:23
question is exactly when did you decide
17:25
to sell out your life's work and
17:27
values to get this position? Senator,
17:29
I agree with President Trump
17:31
that every abortion is a
17:34
tragedy. Kennedy's fate could hinge
17:36
on Senator Bill Cassidy, the
17:39
GOP swing vote on the
17:41
committee, who refused to comment
17:43
after the hearing, after this
17:46
exchange. What reforms are you
17:48
proposing with these ideas vis-a-vis
17:51
Medicaid? Well, I don't have
17:53
a broad proposal for
17:55
dismantling the program. I
17:57
just... Join me now
17:59
is doctor Jonathan Reiner, CNN
18:01
medical analyst and professor
18:03
at George Washington University.
18:05
Thank you for being
18:07
here. Look, as a
18:09
medical professional, what did you
18:12
make of the hearing? Well, I
18:14
thought it was a desperate attempt
18:16
by Mr. Kennedy to convince the
18:18
Democrats on the panel that he's
18:20
not anti-vaccine and a
18:23
second desperate attempt to convince
18:25
the Republicans on the committee.
18:27
that he's not pro-choice.
18:29
What was really very
18:31
sort of hard to
18:33
swallow was Mr. Kennedy's
18:36
assertion that he's not, you
18:38
know, anti-vax, he's just
18:41
pro-safety. But, you know, the problem
18:43
with that is that he
18:45
spent an entire career really
18:48
disingenuously challenging
18:50
the safety of
18:52
vaccines. And the problem
18:54
is that if he's
18:56
pro-safety, he apparently doesn't feel
18:58
that any vaccine is safe
19:00
and he has said that
19:03
in the past. And again,
19:05
in my mind, this, you know,
19:07
hearing wasn't really about
19:09
understanding whether he is
19:12
qualified to be HHS
19:14
secretary. I think he's
19:17
grossly unqualified, but really
19:19
showing, you know, how completely
19:21
disqualified his lifelong
19:23
career. in basically challenging
19:26
the safety of vaccines,
19:28
promoting all kinds of
19:30
conspiracy theories, and being,
19:32
quite frankly, anti- sciences.
19:35
It really should disqualify
19:37
anyone from basically running
19:39
the largest health care system
19:42
in the world. And you know
19:44
as you mentioned you know he he
19:46
RFK pushed back on the idea that
19:48
he's a vaccine skeptic in the confirmation
19:50
hearing despite really an extensive record for
19:53
example of linking vaccines to autism in
19:55
children which has been disproven many times
19:57
in many many many studies but he
19:59
I also testified that all
20:01
of his kids are vaccinated.
20:04
I mean, what do you
20:06
believe a secretary Kennedy actually
20:08
means for vaccines? Yeah,
20:10
that's really disturbing to me,
20:13
that he and his wife may
20:15
have protected his children, but yet
20:17
then he founded an entity,
20:19
the children's defense organization,
20:22
children's health defense,
20:24
children's health defense, children's
20:27
health defense, which basically
20:29
has spent its existence
20:32
in doubting the safety of
20:34
vaccines and promoting, you
20:37
know, various conspiracy theories.
20:39
I think Senator Sanders
20:41
today showed photograph
20:43
of some merchandise that is
20:45
available on that on
20:48
his organizations or former
20:50
organizations website, which is
20:52
basically a onesie for
20:54
infants that says, you
20:56
know, no And this
20:58
is an entity that he found
21:01
it. So, you know, again, this sort
21:03
of reminds me of the,
21:05
during the COVID, the heat of
21:07
the COVID pandemic, when
21:09
we were trying to
21:11
vaccinate America and Republican
21:14
members of the House, understanding
21:16
that their constituents,
21:19
you know, had concerns about
21:21
vaccines. The members of
21:23
Congress vaccinated themselves. but
21:26
didn't tell their constituents
21:28
that they were vaccinated.
21:30
So they were willing
21:32
to expose their, you know, their
21:34
members and their districts to
21:36
the risks, but protect themselves.
21:39
So that's what Mr.
21:41
Kennedy's position seems to
21:43
me similar to. And I was going to
21:45
say another aspect of scrutiny I think in this
21:47
hearing was on the reproductive health side of things.
21:49
And if a pristine was raised, which of course
21:51
is one of the drugs used in a medication
21:53
abortion, and he wants the National Institutes of Health
21:56
and the FDA to study it even though it
21:58
was approved by the FDA back in 2000. 2000
22:00
and shown to be safe and
22:02
effective. I mean, what do you
22:04
believe a secretary Kennedy means for
22:06
existing drugs that have already deemed,
22:08
that have already been deemed, I
22:10
should say, to be safe and effective? This
22:13
is sort of the conceit. And he
22:15
says, like, and this goes also back
22:17
to the vaccines. He says, we really
22:19
need to understand if these agents are
22:22
safe and effective. But yet they've
22:24
all gone through extensive clinical
22:26
trials. Many of the vaccines have
22:29
actually been against placebos,
22:31
gone through extensive safety
22:33
and efficacy studies to
22:35
reach market, yet his sort
22:38
of off-stated stance is that
22:40
he's not doubting, you know,
22:42
these drugs. He just wants
22:44
to understand if they're
22:46
safe. He's just asking
22:48
questions. We've heard this before,
22:51
you know, from particularly
22:53
on conservative media sites
22:55
where people are just
22:57
asking questions. Why do we really
22:59
know about the safety of these vaccines?
23:02
We've heard this before. We heard this
23:04
during the COVID pandemic. What do we
23:06
know about the safety of mythopristo?
23:08
But these agents have been
23:10
extensively studied. There are no doubts
23:12
about the safety of mythopristo.
23:15
Dr. Jonathan Reiner, Professor of
23:17
Medicine and Surgery at George
23:19
Washington University. Thanks for being
23:21
here. Always appreciate the perspective.
23:24
Thanks so much. All right, straight
23:26
ahead, President Trump's pick for Commerce
23:28
Secretary comes out swinging against Chinese
23:30
AI sensation Deep Seek. All this
23:32
is China's alibaba reveals its new
23:34
move into the AI space. Plus,
23:37
a fetching new addition to the
23:39
world of robots. We introduce you
23:41
to the Tombot. Built to be
23:43
the perfect companion for people with
23:45
health challenges. We'll tell you more,
23:48
coming up. I'm
23:53
CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy. This
23:55
week on the podcast, Terms of
23:57
Service. Genetic testing can teach us
23:59
a lot. about ourselves and help
24:01
us understand the story of where
24:03
we came from. But they also
24:05
come with privacy questions about where
24:08
we're sending our DNA when we
24:10
take these tests. What did you
24:12
learn when you got the results
24:14
back? The person that they initially
24:16
thought was my biological father was
24:19
not. That's really a lot. Definitely.
24:21
Follow CNN's terms of service wherever
24:23
you get your podcasts. Welcome
24:27
back everyone. Red arrows for US
24:29
stocks topping today's money move, all
24:31
the major US averages losing ground,
24:34
but... Tech closing, well above its
24:36
session, lows, all this as US
24:39
Federal Reserve did the expected and
24:41
kept interest rates unchanged. The central
24:43
bank, pausing its rate-cutting campaign until
24:46
the pace of inflation and economic
24:48
growth becomes clearer. Fed chair Jerome
24:50
Powell sidestepped questions over whether he's
24:53
been pressured by President Trump to
24:55
further lower borrowing costs, even as
24:57
Trump criticized the Fed further Wednesday.
25:01
I'm not going to have any response or
25:03
comment whatsoever on what the president said.
25:05
It's not appropriate for me to do
25:07
so. The public should be confident that
25:09
we will continue to do our work
25:11
as we always have focusing on using
25:14
our tools to achieve our goals and
25:16
really keeping our heads down and doing
25:18
our work and that's how we best
25:20
serve the public. Meanwhile, Nevada's
25:22
shares remain highly volatile. Its shares
25:24
fell 4% amid ongoing concerns over
25:27
China's deep-seek artificial intelligence model and
25:29
the threat Chinese AI poses to
25:31
U.S. tech overall. Chinese tech giant
25:34
Ali Baba announced Wednesday that it
25:36
has developed a new AI model
25:39
that it claims is even more
25:41
powerful than deep-seek. All this, as
25:43
Open AI, the parent company of
25:46
ChatGBT, tells the Financial Times, that
25:48
it has evidence Deep Seek uses
25:50
its proprietary technology, I should say
25:53
its proprietary technology, to help train
25:55
its AI model without permission. President
25:57
Trump's pick for Commerce Secretary.
26:00
Howard Lutnik leveled some serious
26:02
charges against Deep Seek at
26:04
a confirmation hearing on Wednesday.
26:06
They were able to create
26:08
things dirt cheap, how, by leveraging
26:10
what they've taken from us, stolen
26:12
from us, or leveraged from us.
26:15
It's outrageous and it needs to
26:17
be addressed. Now Lutnik
26:19
says he will pursue policies to
26:21
keep the U.S. in the lead
26:23
over China on AI. Bloomberg now
26:26
reporting the U.S. is considering further
26:28
limiting Chinese access to Nevada chips.
26:30
Now the latest deep-seek news comes
26:32
as some of the biggest U.S.
26:34
tech firms report profits and give
26:36
glimpses into the outlook for their
26:38
business. Microsoft, the largest investor in
26:40
open AI, saw its earnings beat
26:42
estimates, but cloud computing results came
26:44
up short. Meta, which like Deep
26:46
Seek, has developed a cheaper open source
26:48
AI model, is they're out with a
26:51
disappointing sales outlook. I guess that's how
26:53
you would say it. And Elon Musk
26:55
Tesla. And Elon Musk Tesla, whose
26:57
future is all about robotaxies, is
26:59
out with weaker than expected earnings
27:01
in sales. So a lot of
27:04
data here, that's why I've got
27:06
Dan Ives, who is joining me.
27:08
He is a managing director and
27:10
senior equity research analyst at Wedbush
27:12
Securities. All right, I just talked
27:14
about a lot of different tech
27:16
outlooks. What do you see in the numbers
27:19
here? Look, I think overall, the
27:21
pretty robust numbers when it comes
27:23
to meta, because of the overall
27:25
AI strategy. I think stronger than
27:27
expected. And then I think with Microsoft
27:29
mixed numbers, I think longer term is
27:31
clearly robust in terms of the broader
27:33
AI build out, but at least in the
27:35
near term, they're going to continue to
27:37
have to sort of invest. And for
27:40
Tesla, it's all about the AI story. I
27:42
think that's as bullish as they've seen much
27:44
when it comes to AI and autonomous on
27:46
the conference call. Yeah, let's talk AI because
27:48
obviously look deep seek shock the US
27:51
markets initially You've got open AI accusing
27:53
it of using proprietary knowledge to help
27:55
train its AI model when I should
27:57
point out open AI is also facing
27:59
lawsuits accusing it of illegally using
28:02
copyrighted internet data to train
28:04
its systems. Regardless, what do
28:06
you see as Deep Seek's
28:08
future growth prospects when its
28:10
American competitors, for example, are
28:12
spending billions? Look, it was a
28:14
shot across the bow from China. I mean,
28:16
the reality is, and I think as more
28:19
facts come out, you know, did they really
28:21
spend six million and they didn't use a
28:23
video chips? You know, that would be obviously
28:26
a huge question. The reality is
28:28
that these models are going to
28:30
get cheaper and cheaper. But it
28:32
doesn't change the AI story
28:34
because when it comes to
28:36
enterprise, consumer build-outs, you need invidia,
28:39
you need the hyperscowers, Microsoft,
28:41
Amazon, Google. And when you
28:43
put it together, you got
28:45
two trillion of AI catbacks
28:48
the next three years. Deep Seek,
28:50
a $6 million dollar AI lab,
28:52
that's not moving the needle there
28:54
when it comes to the US tech. Look,
28:56
on a separate but related topic,
28:58
the Fed today paused, interest rate
29:01
cuts. How are you interpreting the
29:03
pause? I mean, do you, how
29:05
might the thinking shift, I should
29:07
say, if Trump's promised 25% tariffs,
29:10
for example, on Mexico and
29:12
Canada go into place this weekend?
29:14
Look, this is a Pillsbury-Doe Boy
29:16
soft landing. I mean, you got
29:19
to give all credit to Powell,
29:21
and they'll probably call it, you
29:23
know, twice later this year. But
29:25
right now, they got to stay the course.
29:27
And I think that was a great
29:30
sort of tightrope that Powell did. Street
29:32
overall liked it. Cuts will come later
29:34
this year, but inflation, they need to,
29:37
you know, definitely, it's a
29:39
tight wire act relative to where they
29:41
are. Yeah. Dan Ives of Wedbush
29:43
Securities, thanks for being here.
29:45
Thank you. All right, everyone. We'll
29:47
be right back. Three
29:53
more Israeli hostages along with five
29:55
Thai nationals held in Gaza expected
29:57
to be freed on Thursday Israel
29:59
has now received the names of
30:02
the three Israelis. They are 29-year-old
30:04
Arbel Yehoud, Agam Berger, who's 19,
30:06
and 80-year-old Gadi Moses. Now the
30:08
hostages and missing families forum is
30:11
welcoming the news of the expected
30:13
release. A key Trump administration official
30:15
has made his first trip to
30:17
the region amid a fragile ceasefire
30:20
between Israel and Hamas. CNN's Jerusalem
30:22
correspondent Jeremy Diamond has more for
30:24
us. This was Steve Woodcock's
30:26
first visit to the region since
30:29
becoming President Trump's special envoy for
30:31
the Middle East, and he not
30:33
only visited Israel today, but he
30:35
was also in Gaza, becoming the
30:38
first U.S. official in more than
30:40
a dozen years to visit the
30:42
strip. A source familiar with the
30:44
matter, telling me that he did
30:46
so alongside the Minister for Strategic
30:49
Affairs in Israel, Ron Dermur, who
30:51
is also one of Prime Minister
30:53
Netanyahu's top advisers. for much of
30:55
the war, separating the northern part
30:57
of the strip from the rest
31:00
of Gaza, but now Israeli forces
31:02
have withdrawn from the area. And
31:04
instead, it's where we've seen these
31:06
scenes of Palestinians returning to northern
31:09
Gaza. It's also where there is
31:11
now a U.S. checkpoint manned by
31:13
U.S. private security contractors checking vehicles
31:15
on their way to northern Gaza.
31:17
foreign leader to sit down with
31:20
President Trump at the White House
31:22
since he came into office for
31:24
this second term and that meeting
31:26
will come at a critical moment
31:28
as Israel and Hamas are set
31:31
to resume negotiations next week over
31:33
the next phases of this ceasefire
31:35
agreement whether or not it can
31:37
be extended beyond the six weeks.
31:39
It also comes as the Israeli
31:42
military is ramping up military operations
31:44
in the occupied West Bank and
31:46
as the Israeli Defense Minister Israel
31:48
Katz says that Israeli military operations
31:51
in Janine aren't just going to
31:53
be limited to rooting out militants
31:55
but rather that the Israeli military
31:57
plans to keep an extended presence
31:59
in the Janine refugee camp. We
32:02
are now also on the cusp
32:04
of three more hostages being released.
32:06
And we've now learned the names
32:08
of those three set to be
32:10
released tomorrow. Arbel Yehoud, a 29-year-old
32:13
who was taken captive from Kibbutz
32:15
near Oz, also from Kibbutz near
32:17
Oz, also from Kibbutz near Oz.
32:19
He is 80 years old. One
32:22
of the oldest hostages still being
32:24
held in Gaza. Five Thai hostages.
32:26
we are told are also set
32:28
to be released, though their identities
32:30
are unknown at this point. That
32:33
is in addition to the framework
32:35
of those 33 hostages set to
32:37
be released throughout these six weeks.
32:39
Jeremy Diamond, thank you so much.
32:41
Meanwhile, government forces are battling a
32:44
rebel takeover in Goma, a key
32:46
city in the Democratic Republic of
32:48
Congo. There are reports of foreign
32:50
peacekeepers being killed and hundreds of
32:53
others injured. One resident told CNN
32:55
that people are hiding in their
32:57
homes and don't have electricity or
32:59
water. Eight agencies say the hospitals
33:01
are overwhelmed and there's concern over
33:04
crimes against civilians. CNN's Larry Maduro
33:06
has more on the escalating violence.
33:08
There are bodies lying on the
33:10
streets of Goma in the Eastern
33:12
Democratic Republic of Congo. That's according
33:15
to eyewitnesses talking to CNN, as
33:17
well as human rights groups. Some
33:19
of these bodies have been on
33:21
the street for a few days
33:24
without getting picked up, as the
33:26
fighting has intensified between the M23
33:28
rebel group and the Congolese army
33:30
and their respective allies. Women have
33:32
been raped, the UN says, and
33:35
homes have been looted. This fight
33:37
has escalated in the last few
33:39
days, as the M23 rebel group
33:41
has claimed control of Roma, which
33:43
the Congolese government has fallen short
33:46
of denying. The Congolese government blames
33:48
Rwanda directly for arming and supporting
33:50
the M23 rebel and now says,
33:52
Rwanda has attacked the sovereignty of
33:54
the Democratic Republic of Congo, and
33:57
the world is doing nothing. That's
33:59
a conundrum spokesperson who spoke to
34:01
CNN who spoke to CNN. the
34:03
UN Security Council held Another emergency
34:06
meeting about the situation in the
34:08
Eastern DRC after this 30-year-old conflict
34:10
fled out into the open again,
34:12
and there was a war war
34:14
between the Rwandan and the Congolese
34:17
envoys. What more will Rwanda do
34:19
to continue to abuse your respect
34:21
and your authority? What international instrument
34:23
must it violate for the Council
34:25
to finally take necessary measures against
34:28
Kigali? From the United Nations Charter
34:30
to international humanitarian law to human
34:32
rights and also the Luanda and
34:34
Nairobi peace processes, Rwanda has proven
34:37
time and again that your statements
34:39
mean absolutely nothing. I'd like to
34:41
recall that these attacks are not
34:43
the first, but the latest of
34:45
a long list of provocative actions
34:48
by the government of the DRC.
34:50
I'd like to also recall that
34:52
Rwanda has already shown a shown
34:54
restraint and sought to engage the
34:56
DRC in dealing with the root
34:59
causes of insecurity in the region
35:01
and along our common border. People
35:03
in Goma and in the eastern
35:05
DRC are scared. eyewitnesses tell CNN
35:08
they've heard bombing, they've heard gunfire,
35:10
many have not been able to
35:12
leave their homes. The city of
35:14
Tamilian is cut off from the
35:16
rest of the country. People who
35:19
can are fleeing into Rwanda across
35:21
the border. The airport has been
35:23
closed since Rebels claimed control of
35:25
the city. And in this escalating
35:27
situation, there are no winners. There
35:30
have been strong statements from the
35:32
United States from the East African
35:34
community from the Southern African Development
35:36
Corporation who are all calling for
35:38
a ceasefire. Emergency meetings led by
35:41
President William Ruto of Kenya, President
35:43
Samiyahu of Tanzania, representing the respective
35:45
regional groups. No word yet on
35:47
what came out of that. And
35:50
if President Paul Kaggami of Rwanda
35:52
and President... Felix Chisakadi came to
35:54
an agreement about the way out
35:56
of this harrowing long-running conflict. Laramidawa,
35:58
CNN, Derisolam, Tanzania. Larry
36:01
Madoa, thank you. Coming up after
36:03
the break, a little bit of
36:05
a change of gear here, specifically
36:07
in the AI-driven therapy dog who
36:09
comforts the elderly and those facing
36:11
mental health or cognitive challenges. She's
36:13
been turning heads at the Consumer
36:15
Electronics Show and she's going to
36:17
turn yours coming up. She's up
36:19
next. A
36:25
startup that sparked a social revolution
36:28
and became a cautionary tale that
36:30
changed history. The new CNN original
36:32
series, Twitter Breaking the Bird, Sunday
36:35
at 10 on CNN. Welcome back
36:37
to First Move, everyone. Imagine owning
36:39
a pet dog without the vet
36:42
bills or the cleanup. This canine
36:44
companion could be the answer and
36:46
it was a big hit at
36:49
the recent Consumer Electronics Show in
36:51
Las Vegas. The Life-like Labrador, yes,
36:53
not a real Labrador, Life-like, is
36:56
designed though to support people with
36:58
dementia and those with anxiety, depression,
37:00
or even PTSD. It's autonomous and
37:03
can feedback information about its interactions
37:05
with a caregiver. Jenny, as it's
37:07
called, was designed by Jim Henson's
37:10
Creature Shop and has a long
37:12
pre-order list. Maybe you could add
37:14
to it to it. Stevens is
37:17
the CEO of Tom Bott and
37:19
joins me now. All right, tell
37:21
me about Jen. And there she
37:24
is. Tell me about Jenny. Oh,
37:26
well, thank you so much for
37:28
having us. So inspired by my
37:31
mother, who after she was diagnosed
37:33
with Alzheimer's dementia, and I had
37:35
to take away her dog for
37:38
safety reasons, I looked around for
37:40
substitutes for live animal companions, but
37:42
she didn't like anything that I
37:45
brought home. and I realize there
37:47
was a large gap in the
37:49
market. So we developed Jenny. Jenny
37:52
is designed specifically to treat the
37:54
behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia,
37:56
reducing the need for certain medications,
37:59
including psychotropic medications, and it's are
38:01
aimed for Tombought puppies to be
38:03
both the first puppies to be
38:06
FDA medical devices and remote safety
38:08
and health monitoring platforms. I mean and
38:10
both incredibly important uses never mind
38:13
the fact that Jenny just looks
38:15
pretty cute. But to be clear
38:17
this this isn't about you know
38:19
replacing your actual dog, for example,
38:22
unless maybe you need to for
38:24
safety reasons. So the dog isn't
38:26
necessarily walking around the house, right?
38:28
I mean, where does Jenny sort
38:31
of fit in from a practical
38:33
standpoint? Certainly. So of the two
38:35
billion households in the world, about
38:37
one billion are not able to
38:39
keep live animals as pets for
38:41
reasons including health adversity. cost burden
38:43
of care and living restriction. And
38:45
so we found a tombot to
38:48
be in service to those people.
38:50
Our first product for dementia is
38:52
designed as a lap dog or
38:54
lap puppy. She's designed to lay
38:56
comfortably on the person's lap or
38:58
on the table or chair somewhere
39:00
close by where they can remain
39:02
in close contact. And one of the
39:04
things that we learned when we were doing
39:07
the research for this product is anything on
39:09
the ground presents a fall risk. for a
39:11
senior with dementia. So products in this category
39:13
are never placed on the ground, always placed
39:16
on a lap or once again table or
39:18
chair. And you know, you mentioned a little
39:20
bit of it earlier. Obviously as
39:22
cute as Jenny is, it comes
39:24
from a really serious reason, you
39:26
know, to bring comfort and support
39:28
to elderly people struggling with dementia.
39:30
dementia or children and adults facing
39:32
mental health challenges, anxiety, loneliness, autism,
39:34
depression, the list goes on. I
39:36
know you said you were inspired
39:38
by this to do this by
39:40
your mother and what she was
39:43
going through. Now that you are in
39:45
the stages and we see Jenny in
39:47
front of us, I mean what is
39:49
what is inspiring and motivating you to
39:51
keep going? Well
39:53
mental health is is it turned
39:55
out I began this journey really
39:57
to solve my mother's problem she
39:59
was she was really angry with
40:02
me and so just really to
40:04
salvage our relationship I began the
40:07
investigation only to learn that were
40:09
so many other people that share
40:11
her story. We, even though we
40:14
developed this first puppy for seniors
40:16
with dementia, about 71% of our
40:19
waitlist and pre-order customers have ordered
40:21
it for another use indication, like
40:23
the ones that you mentioned, children
40:26
with autism, adolescents and adults with
40:28
severe anxiety, depression, PTSD, suicide risk,
40:30
and people that simply live alone
40:33
are at risk of social isolation
40:35
and severe loneliness. There are a
40:37
lot of people that cannot keep
40:39
track of a puppy. And so
40:41
we're basically a pet for people
40:43
who cannot have pets, but we're
40:45
also providing a medical good while
40:47
we're there. And does Jenny, I mean,
40:50
maybe this is a dumb question, but
40:52
does Jenny speak bark? Does she make
40:54
sound? Let's see if we see if she's
40:56
going to pay attention for me.
40:58
Always, always good to do live
41:01
demos in front of a large audience.
41:03
Hey Jenny, want a treat? Good
41:09
girl. I think that
41:11
translates to it, yes.
41:13
So, designed to accurately emulate
41:16
an eight to 10 week
41:18
old Labrador retriever puppy, including
41:20
all authentic puppy sounds. We
41:22
studied with over 700 seniors
41:24
with dementia and we learned
41:26
they have a very strong
41:29
preference for realism Realism in
41:31
appearance in texture, but most
41:33
importantly realism and behaviors And
41:35
that's when we realized we
41:37
needed to team up with
41:39
the good folks at Jim
41:41
Henson's creature shop to provide all
41:44
the artistic design for our puppy
41:46
and so with their help we're
41:48
building what we believe to be
41:51
are the world's most realistic roboticatic
41:53
animals scientifically designed to stimulate emotional
41:55
attachment which provides that the mental
41:57
health benefits and then once a
42:00
we become a unique platform
42:02
for monitoring those seniors for
42:04
safety and health. Yeah, and that
42:06
unique connection sound is such an
42:08
important aspect of that. Tom Stevens,
42:10
CEO of Tom Bott, thanks for
42:12
being here. Thanks for having us. Of
42:15
course. All right, now I'm not
42:17
sure if Jenny can bust out
42:19
these moves, but I'm gonna show
42:21
you some humanoid robots there you
42:23
see them there performing a traditional
42:25
folk dance at China's Spring Festival
42:28
gala of the year of the
42:30
snake the performance featured 16 Chinese-made
42:32
robots wearing floral jackets as you
42:34
can see Dancing together showing off
42:36
some extremely well-called them dexterous moves
42:38
and of course we wish you
42:40
and your loved ones a very
42:43
happy and profitable new lunar year
42:45
filled with tons of dancing just
42:47
like these little humanoid robots here. Flora
42:49
jacket and all. All right coming up
42:51
18 matches in a day as the
42:54
UEFA Champions League wraps up its group
42:56
stage. We're gonna have all the highlights
42:58
coming up. Stay with us. Welcome
43:04
back. Football fans rejoice with a whopping
43:06
18 games in the UEFA Champions League
43:09
kicking off at the same time. Some
43:11
big-name clubs including Real Madrid, Manchester City,
43:13
and PSG secured their victories. Patrick Snell
43:15
joins us with the highlights. Sorry Patrick,
43:17
a lot of games kicking off at
43:19
the same time. What'd you see? Oh
43:21
my, it was a real football faster,
43:23
delight for people like me who enjoy
43:26
the beautiful game so much. Drama and
43:28
excitement in the European Champions League every
43:30
step of the way. As you said,
43:32
all 18 kicking off at the same
43:34
time. This was the final match day of
43:36
the first ever league phase of the New
43:39
Look tournament and it was a must win
43:41
game for 2023 winners Manchester City. They had
43:43
to beat the Belgian champions club Rouge to
43:45
stay in the tournament and they really were
43:48
playing with fire here at one point. They
43:50
started the day outside the top 24. The
43:52
host frustrated, the host frustrated. and with the
43:55
Belgians growing in confidence, it's the visitors who
43:57
take the lead there. Really nice goal from
43:59
Raphael on. Yedika finishing off in style
44:01
wonderful play from the Nigerian. Back
44:03
came city though and the Pepguariola
44:06
they never get up the fight
44:08
and early in the second half
44:10
they would restore parody. It's Mateo
44:12
Kovacich plowing his way through the
44:14
Belgian team's defence and a really
44:16
nice kind of a slide rule
44:18
finish there into the corner one
44:20
all just past the our market
44:22
city head. The ball is pulled
44:24
back into the box and it
44:26
goes in off the unfortunate Ecuadorian
44:28
player Hoel Odeniers who puts it
44:30
through his... own goal there at
44:32
a critical point in the match.
44:34
Savino would make the game safe
44:36
for city with just over 10
44:38
to go. No mistake from the
44:40
young Brazilian city much there. Huge
44:42
relief, everyone connected to the Manchester
44:45
Club. They win at 3-1, booking
44:47
their spot in the playoffs. Now,
44:49
let's get to Stuttgart in 24th
44:51
place, taking on French Giants PSG,
44:53
who in 22nd, these two teams
44:55
in a direct clash for survival.
44:57
PSG, after a flying start, they
44:59
grabbed an early lead. Then it
45:01
was the Usman-dembéle show, the German
45:03
team in utter shock, when PSG
45:05
would double their lead on 17
45:07
minutes, thanks to Dembé again. and
45:09
total control at this point, they're
45:11
three nil up. and it would
45:13
be Denbelli going for the hat-trick
45:15
and guess what he gets it
45:17
no problem a hat-trick hero it's
45:19
that man Denbelli helping himself to
45:22
more PSG 4-1 winners all right
45:24
let's look at the top eight
45:26
teams then who've directly advanced to
45:28
the round of 16 Liverpool do
45:30
it there top of the pile
45:32
Barcelona our special shout-out to the
45:34
French team there we got a
45:36
look at that it's fantastic play
45:38
they're really good stuff Leel Adletigo
45:40
Madrid by Levyusan Boston Villa as
45:42
well. Top eight, they go through
45:44
automatically, Omar, to the next phase
45:46
of the tournament, the knockout stages.
45:48
They have a look at the
45:50
teams advancing to the playoffs now.
45:52
Don't know for sure yet, but
45:54
Manchester City's playoff opponents likely going
45:56
to be rail Madrid. or the
45:59
German Giants, by and Munich, will
46:01
know for sure who's playing who,
46:03
Omar on Friday. That's when we
46:05
get the knockout phase playoff draw.
46:07
But what a Wednesday night, high
46:09
drama, still catching my breath. Back
46:11
to you. High drama, more drama
46:13
to come. Yeah. When we hit
46:15
that knockout stage. Patrick Snell, thank
46:17
you so much. All right,
46:19
now to the other football, $8
46:21
million for 30 seconds, that's what
46:23
some companies have agreed to pay
46:25
for ad time during next month's
46:28
Super Bowl, a source-telling CNN, Fox,
46:30
the broadcaster of this year's game,
46:32
sold at least 10 of its
46:34
commercial spots for upwards of $8
46:36
million each. The Kansas City Chiefs
46:38
will clash with the Philadelphia Eagles
46:40
on February 9th. And finally, on
46:42
first move, a sandwich spread is
46:44
reuniting the stars of when Harry
46:46
met Sally. Billy Crystal and Meg
46:48
Ryan are back together for a
46:50
Super Bowl ad targeting or promoting
46:52
I should say Hellman's Mayo, the
46:54
Romcom legends serving up a parody
46:56
of their iconic and a very
46:58
racy scene. You know it. We'll
47:00
spare you the audio, but you
47:02
know it. The original and the
47:04
parody both take place in Katz's
47:06
deli here in New York, spawning
47:09
The Catch Phoning. I'll have what
47:11
she's having. All right, everyone.
47:13
Glad you had what I was given
47:15
here today. Don't read too much into
47:17
that phrase, but that just about wraps
47:19
up the show. Thanks for joining us.
