it went from, hey, get up right now, we're going to the hospital, call our friends who are going to take care of our other son to, please come in here, the baby is going to be in here right now. that's how fast it happened. >> i was just going to ask about your son because we just saw the beautiful pictures of him meeting his little sister for the first time. how is he doing? how is she doing? >> they're both doing great and my son mars could not be more proud to be a big brother. he has just been the absolute sweetest and it's these moments, right, that you absolutely live for as a parent and so it's just been wonderful to see him and i'm excited to watch him grow into the role. she's been great, everything a baby is supposed to do. >> i bet your husband was like, wait. i'm going to wake up, right? wait a minute, this is a dream, right? and it is a dream. it's a great dream come true, actually. >> it really is and, you know, we've gotten a lot of comments from people who have said, oh,

my gosh, this is my husband's worst nightmare, how did you do it? my husband absolutely just -- i mean, he stepped in and did what needed to be done. we are just -- we're grateful we were able to figure it out and have support from the best out there. >> so did you mama. you get a lot of credit, too. this is the last time we're going to call you for many months. enjoy this precious time. we will see you soon, friend. >> thanks, guys. >> told you, best morning moment. thank you for being with us this monday, we will see you tomorrow. "cnn newsroom" is now. good monday morning to you, i'm jim sciutto. hello, erica. >> good morning, jim. nice to see you this morning. good to have all of you with us as well. happening now, officials are investigating after a southwest flight was forced to make an emergency landing, this as smoke filled the cabin. look at these images here.

[ speaking non-english ] >> an engine failure just moments after takeoff. >> cover your nose, i don't know if that's good enough. plus the fbi is now offering a $50,000 reward after four americans were kidnapped at gunpoint in mexico. what we know now about their abduction. and the battle for the 2024 gop presidential nomination on full display this weekend, dueling speeches highlighting the differences between two potential candidates, former president donald trump already announced and florida governor ron desantis previewing a possible showdown. what is next as they head to iowa this week. let's begin this hour with carlos suarez in miami where passengers are now safely back on the ground following that midair scare. so we all remember, i think those of us in new york certainly remember quite well the miracle on the hudson in 2009, that was a bird strike. no one was hurt in this incident. can you give us a better sense what have we're hearing from the airline, what happened to cause all that smoke in the cabin. >> yeah, that's exactly right,

jim and erica. good morning. so unlike what happened in 2009 and the miracle on the hudson, this situation played out a whole lot differently. you are taking a look at that video inside the cabin of that southwest airlines flight shortly after it took off from havana's international airport on its way to fort lauderdale, hollywood international airport. according to the airline right after that 737 took off from the airport, it hit a number of birds. one of those birds hit the plane's engine which then -- which then led to a fire and it also hit the nose of that aircraft. now, by the time the aircraft made it back on to the ground in havana we're told that firefighters were there, they were able to put out that fire and that all of the passengers that were on board that plane were able to safely get out using those emergency chutes. one of those passengers talked to the "today" show, here is what he said. >> a big explosion and the plane just shook and then it dropped.

it was -- very terrifying because a lot of kids and a lot of women. >> reporter: in that cellphone video you really can hear the folks, the passengers there, all of them shaken up, some of them are yelling and you can also hear the flight attendant telling the passengers to please make sure that they put on their oxygen masks while that plane made that emergency landing. now, southwest airlines they did put out a statement about these -- about the incident telling cnn in part, quote, we commend the swift, professional actions of our pilots and flight attendants in responding to this event. we apologize to our customers for the inconvenience and have reached out to address their needs and support. jim and erica, one final note this morning, according to cuban state-run media in havana, it appears that the engine that was hit by that plane did suffer some type of engine failure, however, the airline is still investigating. guys? >> goodness. scary moments for those

passengers. carlos suarez, thanks so much. well, new this morning, the biden administration is helping families figure out which airlines will not charge them for the simple privilege of sitting together with their kids. a new online dashboard launches today that will showcase which airlines charge and which do not to select and book seats together. i've run into this, i bet a lot of you have. it's no fun. >> it is no fun. it's all part of the administration's push to end what are known as junk fees and to improve customer service. looks like it's starting to pay off, too. american, alaska, frontier airlines have all agreed in writing to eliminate family seating fees if -- because isn't there always and if or a but -- >> yes. >> -- adjacent seats are available during booking. >> i will say, though, if you do ask people most of the time people will move when the kids are involved. >> they probably don't want to sit next to your kidney anyway.

right now the fbi is offering a $50,000 reward for the return of four americans kidnapped in mexico. so that kidnapping happened on friday, a car full of u.s. citizens drove into the border city of matamoros, mexico southeast of mcallen, texas. >> rosa flores is in houston covering this story. rosa, you're familiar with this area of the country. what more do we know about the circumstances? what kind of groups are operating there? do we have any idea at this point? >> reporter: you know, right now the fbi is saying very little. their statement only saying that this happened on friday and that these four u.s. citizens crossed the border from brownsville, texas, into matamoros which is just south of where i am, just south of the rio grande valley of south texas. according to the fbi these four individuals were driving a white minivan with north carolina license plates and shortly after

they crossed into mexico that's when they were fired upon by an unidentified individual and shortly thereafter the four u.s. citizens were taken from the scene by armed individuals. now, the fbi says that it is asks for the public's help in identifying these suspects and that there is a $50,000 reward for information that leads to an arrest. the american citizens have not been identified and the fbi does say that they are working with their federal and local law enforcement partners in mexico. now, about matamoros and about this area, it is in the state -- mexican state of tamalipas. the u.s. department of state has it on their do not travel list for u.s. citizens because u.s. citizens have been victims of crime and kidnapping. this area is known for this, cartels operate there. one of the reasons why i cover this -- in this area is because

a lot of the migrants that we cover when we cover the border end up in these areas, in these very dangerous conditions and so right now of course the fbi focusing on these four u.s. citizens. we do not have the identities of these u.s. citizens, again, but the fbi is investigating and trying to get more information. >> and i know you're trying to do that as well. rosa, appreciate it as always, my friend. thank you. republicans offering up a preview of the party's 2024 race, that strategy what it might look like as they push to regain the white house as we get former president donald trump speaking to crowds of loyal supporters at cpac, while florida governor ron desantis who of course has not formally declared a 2024 bid addressed a sold out audience in california at the reagan presidential library. >> cnn's kristen holmes is following it all. kristen, cpac is different than it used to be, right, to the point where you have several serious candidates for 2024 giving a miss entirely, including ron desantis. what was the message from there, one, i suppose, and the other question is how do party leaders

view that message from cpac and how influential it is? >> reporter: we will start with what the message was because it was clear at w that cpac that t the future of the party. he won their unscientific straw poll, 62 to 20%, desantis was at 20%. actually, the vice presidential straw poll, also, again, unscientific desantis came in second to kari lake. but the question now is how indicative is cpac of the party as a whole. >> we are never going back to the party of paul ryan, karl rove and jeb bush. >> reporter: as the gop primary just starts to take shape -- >> thank you so much. >> reporter: -- with republicans barreling towards a battle in the direction of the party,

president trump drawing a line in the sand. >> i'm your warrior, i'm your justice and for those that have been wronged and betrayed, i am your retribution. >> reporter: the ruckus reception for trump at the conservative political action conference which included a wide victory in the event's unscientific straw poll demonstrates the former president's enduring support with part of the gop base. >> the popularity with trump is ridiculous. >> the only one that can pull this through. >> reporter: and while the former president remains a clear front runner for the party's nomination in 2024, his third run for the white house facing fresh challenges, including ongoing criminal investigations of his handling of presidential documents, and his role in the attack on the u.s. capitol. ahead of his speech trump telling reporters that he would not exit the race even if he is indicted. on stage painting a dire picture of the 2024 election. >> this is the final battle, either they win or we win. >> reporter: more than three

months since announcing his presidential bid, trump advisers are taking steps to position him for a protracted campaign, building out a policy platform including an education plan heavy on culture war proposals. >> our public schools have been taken over by the radical left maniacs. >> reporter: the former president is also set to dial up his travel in the coming weeks with an event planned in iowa next week, just days after florida governor ron desantis plans to visit the key early nominating state. while desantis isn't expected to launch a presidential bid until at least may, trump and his team have been digging into the potential rival's record for months. one area of focus, desantis' past support for entitlement programs. >> we are not going back to people that want to destroy our great social security system, even some in our own party. i wonder who that might be. >> reporter: facing criticism from trump as well as democrats, the florida governor now says republicans won't, quote, mess

with social security. >> we're not going to mess with social security as republicans, i think that that's pretty clear. >> reporter: even as trump takes aim at desantis, other hopefuls seeking to draw contrast with the current leader of the pac. >> if you are tired of losing, put your trust in a new generation. >> we shouldn't look for a larger than life personalities but rather we should find power in the rooms like this one. >> reporter: but one potential candidate officially stepping back from the fight. >> i didn't want to have a p pileup of a bunch of people fighting. the more you have the less chance you have of somebody rising up. >> reporter: not all republican hopefuls agree with governor hogan. we expect this to be a fairly crowded field. you will start to see the field becoming more and more defined as these hopefuls meet with donors, travel the country and try to determine their future. >> kristen holmes, appreciate it as always. thank you. joining us to discuss david gergen, former adviser to

president nixon, ford, reagan and clinton. good to see you, as always, david. if we pick up with those comments from former maryland governor larry hogan, you also had former governor asa hutc hutchinson. larry hogan said elected office isn't the only way to make a difference. there is a frustration about the divisive politics in this country and yet the loudest most extreme voices do continue to dominate. do you see a scenario where that changes at all? >> we will have to wait and see, erica. good to be here this morning and i must tell you that i think increasingly the -- this has become a two-person race, there's trump and there's desantis and then there's everybody else on the republican side and no one in that everybody else column, i think, has a chance to really advance until desantis has been checked out. the press -- we know all about donald trump, more than we want

to know in some cases, but desantis has not gone through that kind of screening and the press -- the press will be doing that in the next few weeks because it's so obviously a trump versus desantis race right now. from that we will know does anybody else have a chance. right now i would say that nobody else is in the running. as i say, there's desantis, there's trump and then there's a whole stream of other people coming on. look at jim sciutto will respond to this, look at mike pompeo. one would think he is a heavyweight within the party and he's not showing up anywhere and he was not speaking at cpac the best i can tell. i don't think he had an invitation there. >> david gergen, i would never debate you on political history or if i did i would be very -- i'm going to do it anyway. no, i'm just going to ask the question. >> okay. >> if we look at the last several presidential cycles the front runner or front runners at

this stage of the race almost always flame out. go back to 2008, mccain was dead in the water, going nowhere, obama was considered a long shot, then came through. you know, you go to 2016 of course people eliminated trump as a candidate. biden really didn't have a chance until south carolina in the 2020 cycle. >> right. >> what does history tell us about front runners at this stage of the race and why do you think that this one -- those front runners are likely to stay front runners? >> well, i think trump is likely to stay a front runner because, you know, he's taken a lot of hits and there he is still standing. the cpac piece is still his. the fire and brimstone we associate with cpac has gone out a lot and trump's fire has gone out a lot yet he is still out there. desantis i think is a more -- if anybody is going to go down, it may be desantis. typically when these new faces

come on, some of them peak very early as you suggest and then after some initial view that they're going to do very, very well they fade and new people come to the fore, like an obama comes to the fore out of nowhere and biden came back, he was a known figure, but he was more durable because he was such a known figure. we don't know yet whether desantis is durable as a candidate. he's got -- he's clearly very shrewd, very interesting, very bright guy. on the other hand, a lot of the early reporting suggests he can be very mean, he can be very tough on people, not very pleasant underneath all this. so let's wait and see, jim, how that all sort of works out. does desantis wear well? do people as we get -- if i were donald trump i'd be really worried about desantis. >> seems like he may be based on how much time he's spending on him. sorry, erica. >> no, i would agree.

i think you're right. i think it then leads us to this question, so if it is trump and desantis right now but there's a chance as you point out, david, that for all of the excitement about ron desantis maybe that doesn't work out. is there anyone else you see in the wings who could then step in or does that then just hand this nomination to donald trump? >> well, that's a really, really good question. i think it could easily hand the nomination to donald trump and then he would reach out and possibly get nikki haley to be his vice presidential candidate for some obvious reasons. she has some upside potential that i don't think has been tapped into yet. she's one of the more -- i've done events with her and i must tell you she's attractive, she's interesting, she thinks well on her feet. so i can see her rising as this process goes on, but some of the rest of them, i just don't see -- i don't see where the rise comes from. >> well, we will keep talking about it because we have a lot

of time. don't forget senator tim scott, he has a following, too. david gergen, thanks so much as always. >> thanks so much, jim. thanks, erica. programming note, cnn's exclusive interview with first lady jill biden airs tonight on cnn prime time. don't miss it, 9:00 eastern time. coming up next, the ukrainian president has vowed to defend the eastern ukrainian city of bakhmut, despite russian efforts to encircle the area and a lot of progress, a lot of losses. we will break down how that city plays in the larger war strategy. plus florida's governor going after a a local prosecuto claiming she is not doing enouoh to combat crime, thihis after a 9-year-old girl and tv reporter were shot and kikilled in orlan. the state attorney is with us to respond.

russian forces for the first time in eight months are believed to be on the bripg of capturing the eastern ukrainian city of bakhmut. today the eastern front line city lying in ruins after ukrainians endured yet another intense russian assault from both the air and the ground. while most residents have vacated, desperate dangerous evacuations still going on, this as ukraine's army has vowed to keep defending every inch of land. >> translator: there were no orders, no decisions were made regarding withdrawal from bakhmut. there have been no tactical changes. we are holding the defense. >> let's speak now to cnn military analyst colonel cedric leighton. good morning, sir. thanks for joining us. >> good morning, jim. good to be with you. >> this has been a bloody fight for weeks, tremendous number of losses on the russian side, but also the ukrainian side. there's a read that this is less about bakhmut itself than ukrainian forces showing they will fight for every inch of

territory, they don't want to give any ground anywhere. i wonder is this the right use in your view of ukrainian resources and manpower? >> i certainly understand the desire to keep every inch of ukrainian territory, it's very much an emotional argument and kind of like the alamo in texas back in the 19th century, but, you know, there's a reality here and ukraine needs to save as many of its soldiers as possible. this is not the right strategy for the situation that they find themselves in. there are times we have to do a tactical withdrawal, other times we have to do a strategic withdrawal and this is one of those times where it becomes imperative to save as many ukrainian soldiers as possible to basically fight another day. what that means is they have to really pull back to more defensive positions, ones that they can hold so that they can save as many of their own people as possible. >> what does this mean for the

next step? russia has been attempting some sort of offensive, at least throwing more men, more manpower in the east without making much progress. ukrainians planning a counteroffensive. does ceding bakhmut at all imperil ukraine's plans to counterattack and try to gain back more pieces of russian-held territory in the east? >> i think that's one of the biggest worries that the ukrainian command has, and it's a legitimate concern, but if you perform a strategic withdrawal in the right way, you can actually save not only your troops, but also your capability. this is what's important. they need to save as much capability as possible in order to mount a counteroffensive. they can withdraw from bakhmut and then, for example, mount the counteroffensive, let's say, in the south around some area that they believe is softer. that's the kind of thing that i

think they should be considering at this point. >> i always think as we're looking at that footage of those towns laying in ruins, those are people's homes, they've been destroyed in all of this. what does that tell us about the relative strength of ukrainian and russian militaries as we brace ourselves for what by all design seems to be an even more brutal spring with both sides in effect planning to throw more at this fight in the east. does it tell us anything about where the relative strength stands? >> one of the things that's, i think, very interesting about that question, jim, is that, you know, when this war started, when this invasion started back in february of last year, it was pretty clear on paper that the russians were far superior. the problem that the russians ran into, though, was ukrainian morale and ukrainian willingness to fight for their home land. so there are these intangible situations where ukrainians are far better at this than the russians are. their command structure is far

better, their leadership is far better and they're proving that every day. the fact that the russians have not been able to take bakhmut after seven months of fighting right there in that city and around that city really shows how critically important morale is for any type of military fight. the ukrainians have definitely won in that regard. >> yeah. well, tremendous amount of losses as well. colonel cedric leighton, thanks so much to both of you -- thanks so much to you. good to have you on. >> thanks. still to come here in the wake of a deadly shooting spree in orlando, florida governor ron desantis directly callining out straight attorney.y. that state attorney monique worrelell joins us live next to respond to the criticism and to some queuestions about what happened. what's the #1 retinol brand used most by dermatologists? it's neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair® smooths the look of fine lines in 1-week, deep wrinkles in 4.

the orlando mass shooting that left a 9-year-old girl and a tv reporter dead, a 38-year-old woman, has sparked a political clash between florida governor ron desantis and a local prosecutor. the suspect in the case keith moses had a lengthy juvenile record. it was sealed. as well as one arrest as an adult. the governor is pointing the finger at monique worrell for not prosecuting that specific case. >> you have to hold people accountable. this idea, and i know the district attorney, state attorney in orlando thinks that you don't prosecute people and that's the way that you somehow have a better community. that does not work. >> well, the victim's families

have responded to the governor's comments, they're defending the prosecutor. the parents of dylan lyons and t'yonna major joined cnn on friday morning. they're calling for tougher gun laws, also weighing in on this public battle that has been launched following the deaths of their loved ones. >> we've heard from so many people, but yet we haven't heard from our governor or our senator who seem to want to publicize it for their own ambitions or for their affiliations. they're fathers. they have children. how could they be so callous as to not even call us and extend their sympathy that we've lost, regardless if you are democrat, republican, white or black, it doesn't make a difference. we've lost our children and not even the -- calls or to have somebody reach out to say we're sorry i thought was so cold. >> joining us now is the prosecutor in charge of that case, state attorney monique worrell.

great to have you with us this morning. i know you did speak with the families prior to them speaking out with some members of the media. there's a lot of back and forth about what could and could not have been done so i'm hoping you can help us clear up just a few questions we have. specifically, when it deals with the record of the suspect, juvenile issues are one thing in terms of what's been sealed but there was this 2021 arrest, a marijuana arrest, he was an adult, you were in office. those were misdemeanor charges that were dropped because as i understand it there wasn't enough there to test to determine whether or not it was actually marijuana, but there was a gun that was also a part of that stop and t"the tampa ba times" is reporting the sheriff's office didn't test the gun for dna. a lot of questions about what that would have changed if it had been tested if his dna is on it. do you have an answer at this point from the sheriff's office as to why that gun was not tested for dna? >> so good morning, and thank you for having me. you know, there are a lot of questions around this case, but

the first thing i need to say is that prosecutors do not come with a crystal ball, so any implications that there is something that could have been done by the prosecutor's office to stop this tragedy from happening is just simply not based in fact. so i will tell you what happened while i was state attorney. there was a stop in which the individual was found with 4.6 grams of marijuana. we were not able to prosecute that case because the marijuana was not tested and without having it tested we cannot go forward because we are unable to meet our burden of proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt. so there's been a lot of, you know, allegations that we should have prosecuted and we should have gone forward. in fact, the sheriff has come out and said that he would have liked to see the case prosecuted because in that stop were ski masks as well as a gun. well, it's very important to note that it was the sheriff's office who made that stop and there were never any charges presented to the state

attorney's office for possession of a firearm. in fact, the deputy who made the stop said that he was going to send the firearm off for testing and that testing was never done. now, why it wasn't done, i can't tell you. i know that a report that came out of the sheriff's office last week said that it was a misstep on their behalf, however, that misstep has not been called out by the governor and i find that to be very interesting. >> so when you look at this list, then, that the governor has asked you for, which i know you've said that you're working on in terms of pulling this, asking for files related to moses, as well as other suspects who the governor says have not been held accountable. is there anything on those lists or any of these cases that had raised a red flag for your office in some way that you were already looking into? >> no. so i will tell you that i reviewed every single case to ensure that there were no missteps on our behalf, and prosecuting cases is a very complex matter and there's a lot

of assessment that goes into that. in that assessment is how can we define whether or not an individual is a future danger to the community. and there's really no way for us to tell that. we don't have any tools, we don't receive mental health assessments. we are prosecutors. we are lawyers. we don't have any way of truly assessing future dangerousness but by looking at an individual's record. now, it's come out that this individual was previously arrested for a robbery with a firearm as a juvenile when he was just 14 years old. now, i will tell you that i can't discuss the disposition of the case, i can't tell you how that case was resolved because florida statutes prohibits me from discussing the resolution of a juvenile case, but i will tell you that i did review that case in detail and there was nothing wrong done by my office. i stand behind the decision that was made even though it was made prior to me taking office. >> you mentioned mental health. i know you have a list of things

that you would like to work on to deal with crime, which is a very real issue and very real concern, as you know, to deal with gun violence. is there anything on that list, is there an area where you believe that you could find some common ground where you and governor desantis could work together? is there something that you would like to propose to him in terms of a sit-down to say let's work on this together? do you think that's a path forward? >> so i will tell you there are many things that i have been working on since i've taken the role as state attorney and it's unfortunate that the governor has chosen to politicize this tragedy that's taken place in our community. when i say "our community" i want to be very clear, i work in the pine hills community, i worship in the pine hills community, we serve in the pine hills community. so for someone sitting in tallahassee to politicize a tragedy that my community is still mourning is absolutely shameful. but one of the things that i've been working on is changing the juvenile justice system so that

we can have more accountability, longer time periods of individuals are kept in the juvenile justice system and something like that could help preventing another tragedy like this and that is within the governor's power to do and to effect, and he needs to do that instead of trying to gain a political moment by coming after me for something that i did nothing wrong in. if he really wants to see that this never happens again, then he should make every effort to make the changes that i've been recommending since i have become state attorney. >> monique worrell, we appreciate you taking the time to join us this morning. thank you. >> thank you for having me. still ahead, former president trump's latest effort to stop his former vice prpresident from testifying befe a grand jury. how much could mike pence still have to share? we w will talk about it coming .

former president trump has asked a federal judge to block his former vice president, mike pence, from testifying before a federal grand jury. >> not the first time he's tried that. special counsel jack smith is looking into january 6th and trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. sources say trump is asking a federal court to block pence's testimony once again on grounds of executive privilege. joining us now elie honig, cnn senior legal analyst, former assistant u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. elie, we've talked about this defense before, trump has used it to attempt to block or block the testimony of a number of folks who worked for him. does executive privilege apply to the vice president's testimony in this case? >> well, this is a serious long shot, jim. donald trump actually has quite a poor record of winning on these claims, but he does bring

them and he does manage to drag things out. donald trump has got two big problems with his executive privilege argument here, the first one is that this is a criminal grand jury subpoena and courts tend to honor and uphold grand jury subpoenas not automatically, but typically a grand jury subpoena will overcome a claim of executive privilege. the second problem is donald trump is not president anymore. he is a former president. again, it's possible that a former president can bring an executive privilege claim, but it's much more difficult than if he were still the sitting president. i think this one is a long shot but as you said this is a pattern for donald trump. he likes to claim executive privilege, it helps him slow things down. >> i think everybody knew this was coming, right? we know that mike pence is also trying to claim that under the speech and debate clause that he doesn't need to submit to the subpoena. when you look at where we stand, do you see a scenario where the special counsel moves forward without mike pence's testimony? >> so that's a really interesting question, erica, and that's the calculation that the

special counsel has to make right now. do we go to court and fight both of these claims, donald trump's executive privilege claim and mike pence's speech and debate claim? do we take it through the district court? do we go to the court of appeals, if we win do we maybe have to wait for the supreme court or do we move ahead without mike pence's testimony? here is the risk, you need to know what mike pence says if you are a prosecutor. a, it could be helpful to your case, there were certain one-on-one conversations you would want to know about, b it might be harmful. what if mike pence went in and said things that were favorable to donald trump. what if he said he never pressured me, he told me to do the right thing. you need to do know that either way as a prosecutor. >> we will be calling on you for your expertise. thank you. >> always ready. thank you. all right. will smith, chris rock, had some words over the weekend. >> y'all know what happened to me. getting smacked by sug smith.

everybody knows. >> everybody knows, but they haven't heard as much about it until the weekend. the cocomedian talking about th oscar slapap nearly a year late in his new netflix special and will smith wasn't the only target. as long as you can make an impact, why stop?

for the first time since will smith slapped him on stage on national television at the oscars, chris rock spoke extensively about what happened during a netflix special, and i will tell you that watching it, it is clear that he is not over it. >> words hurt. that is what they say. you have to watch what you say, because words hurt. you know, anybody that says words hurt hasner been punched in -- has never been punched in the face. >> and now we are joined by stephanie elam, and there was a lot of anticipation and reaction after the special. >> oh, for sure. erica and jim, this is a year in the making, and the oscars are

next weekend and so this is almost a year later, and everyone wanted to hear what chris rock said. and i have to say, jim, i agree, because there was an intensity of the last ten minutes of the show, and what went down when will smith smacked him on the stage last year at the oscars and there were teases in the show, and when he said, i will try not to offend anyone tonight, and little things to let you know that he was going to go there, and he did unleash, and this is a little bit of what he said. >> y'all know what happened to me, getting smacked by shug smith. it still hurts. i got summertime ringing in my ears. i love will smith my whole life. i loved him. my whole life i routed for this [ bleep ], okay. i now i watch "emancipation"

just to see him get whooped. >> and he made a joke about will smith in "emancipation" and he said, you can't tell how much larger will smith is than me, and the fact that he played "mohammad ali" and he auditioned for that role, because he is much larger than me, and he said that jada pinkett smith had asked him to step down from hosting the oscars, because will smith did not get nominated for "concussion" because i am supposed to quit my job and i shut it down, and he also said that joke last year about jada's haircut was not so much about upsetting them, but it was a lightweight joke, buzz will's response was much more about their relationship as we know the smith's made a whole public display of jada smith having an entanglement with one of their

son's friends, but it is clear that he had large feels about what went down, and he made it clear about how he felt about it. >> the entanglement reference was very sharp. >> yes. >> and once worth watching. thank you, stephanie elam. and there is a medicine shortage this morning that is used to treat people with breathing problems, and maybe you have heard of it, but the shortage could soon get worse. >> the drug albuterol has been on the shortage list since october, and now doctors are worried about a major supplier shortage could affect major hospitals. and so now, not a lot of the manufacturers and you have trouble at one, and then a major shortge and how about the folks that rely on albuterol, and

should they be concerneded? >> yes, jim, there are sim similariti similarities, and if you use albuterol and end up in the hospital, this could be a problem. it is about nebulizers and not inhales. nebulizers have the mask that goes over the face, and powered mechanically, and not the ones that you breathe in. this is a larger problem than albuterol. so according to a study in 2022, there were 160 drugs in shortage and it is the most since 2014, from cancer drugs to adderall to cancer-fighting drugs, and so they asked the drug companies, what's the reason. these are the answer, and more than half of them, they didn't answer or they just said unknown, and you can see that

there was supply and demand or manufacturing, and focus on the first line there, experts from the university of utah and other places said, look, this is frustrating when the drug companies don't have to be public about why this is happening or details, it is hard to fix it. the fda says they are working with the manufacturers to fix the albuterol and other shortages, but again, a number of details are missing about why the shortages are happening in first place. jim, erica. >> we are seeing a number of those. thank you, dr. cohen. >> and now, the ntsb is heading to the second norfolk southern derailment in the state of ohio. we will go to springfield with latest live there. and plus, i will speak to the chairman of the union who says that the union workers have bebeen getting sick since e wor at the toxic derailment there at the site, and the changes that
