If he is, il would say mr. President elect, understand this, when you become president of the United States, words matter. They have a completely different meaning. They drive people all around the world. You trash journalists in america, you hurt journalists and the free press in russia or venezuela or other places. You trash muslims who are terrorists, you send a signal around the globe. The thing thats so interesting here and thats going to be such a change is donald trump plays from a completely different set of rules. He shoots from the hip. When a crisis happens, its usually the media that leap and people in power and officials who say, hold on, we got to check on everything and make sure we are actually correct and speaking precisely. Weve got just the opposite happening here. Weve got a president elect whos shooting from the lip and its the media saying what do we do to catch up and prof this is right or not. Its an education troxtraordina. Panel, thank you very much pip suspect well have time to talk about this through the coming months. Thank you. We have some breaking news we want to get to right now. Were following a lot, including this deadly plane crash. Lets get right to it. Good morning to you. Welcome to your new day. 75 people have been killed. There was a charter plane carrying a Brazilian Soccer Team. The true miracle here is that there are survivors. Well have a live report in minutes. Searching for a motive in that Ohio State University attack. What was he motivated by . We have cnns rosa flores live if columbus, ohio. What have you learned . Reporter good morning. One of the Big Questions this morning is why. Law enforcement not ruling out terrorism just yet, but they say they dont have a motive today for us. One of the biggest clues, perhaps, is from a post to facebook around the time of the attack. Ohio State University police naming student Abdul Razak Ali artan as the attacker. A u. S. Official telling cnn artan was a legal permanent resident originally from somalia who came to the u. S. Via pakistan. Authorities now look into posts he made on his facebook page, expressing grievances about crimes against muslims, posted moments before the attack, saying, quote, im sick and tired of seeing my fellow muslim brothers and sisters being killed and tortured, and uh cant take it anymore. Back in august, osus campus newspaper quoted artan in a profile, saying he was scared to pray in the open as a muslim. Investigators are looking into possible motives for the attack and say they cannot rule out terrorism. Were always aware thats a potential. Were going to continue to look at that. Reporter police say just before 10 00 a. M. Monday morning, artan deliberately jumped a curb, ramming a car into a group of pedestrians. He exits the vehicle and used a butcher knife to start cutting pedestrians. Reporter eyewitnesses desperately calling 911. A guy ran a car through a crowd of students. He did it purposely. Im at ohio state right outside. A guy crashed his car into a bunch of people. Reporter a minute into the attack, osu Police Officer alan horujko arrived on the scene, confronting a knifewielding artan, shooting him three times, killing him. The officer engaged the suspect and fired shots and used deadly force to stop the threat. Reporter 11 people wounded in the attack, all are expected to survive. As the attack unfolded, students barricaded doorways to avoid becoming a victim. The campus on lock dayne for an hour and a half. Ohio state will be stronger, having come through this. Reporter now, classes resume thank you very much, rosa. Joining us now, logan chapman, who ended up feet away from the attacker. We also have dr. Andrew thomas from the osu Medical Center. Thank you very much for being with us. Logan, i want to start with you. You were standing outside when you saw this car plow into a group of pedestrians. Then what happened . Well, we were all outside for the fire alarm going off. The car plowed through the back of students. Initially, everyone thought it was an accident because the engine was still running, like the gas pedal had stuck, like the car got out of control. Everyone was making sure that the people who were hit were okay and that the driver was okay. As soon as everything had settled down, he got out of the car and started slashing people closest to the car with a knife. And you were there at that point because you had run over to see if you could help and make sure people were okay. As i understand it, you were standing at drivers side towards the front headlight of the car when he got out of the car. Tell us what that moment was like. Was he saying anything when he had the knife in his hand and was attacking people . I dont think he said anything. He might have yelled, but if he did, it was lost if all of the commotion. I dont remember him saying anything at all. So what happened when you figured out that, no, this wasnt just an ordinary car accident of some kind . It took a while to realize that he had a knife and it wasnt just a regular car accident. Once everyone realized that, everyone scattered. I personally ran through the building to the other street across the block. I lost sight of him at that point. Dr. Thomas, tell us about what was happening at the hospital when these injuries started coming in and what you saw. Good morning. Thank you. This is something that we train for, both here at the Ohio State UniversityMedical Center as well as with our colleagues around the city. Columbus is a major metropolitan area of over a million people. We have a local Trauma Service that coordinates activities like this. We work with our local ems and first responders. Multiple times per year on drills. So this was something that felt real to us, obviously. It was not a drill, but at the same time, our folks were coordinated, knew what to do. We had within minutes trauma surgeons arrive in the emergency department. We had nurse, respiratory therapists, pharmacist, all ready for patients to arrive. I want to just read what we think the latest is with the victims. Six victims with carrelated injuries, four victims with stabbingrelated injuries, one with laceration. At least two went through surgeon general. Can you tell us how those that are at your hospital are doing . Sure. Everyones doing well. At this point we see no reason to be concerned about lifethreatening injuries. There are still, as far as my information, four individuals in the hospital, two at wexner Medical Center and two others at another local hospital. We were able yesterday to go visit some of those individuals. Unfortunately, missed some that were treated and released from the emergency department. Met with them, met with their families, if their families were available, and we have a great Student Counseling Service here that does outreach to students, both that were injured, but obviously there were dozens, if not hundreds of other students that were r involved, either at the scene or being barricaded in classrooms. There will be a big outreach to both the students, staff, and Faculty Community for counseling, therapy, anything thats needed to help people respond to this. Were very resilient here. Its a city within a city with over 50,000 students. Tens of thousands of staff and faculty. Well get through this. Of course you will, doctor. We just dont know how long the repercussion of Something Like this, witnessing it and experiencing it. Logan, weve seen some pictures and video of kids having to barricade their classrooms, being terrified and just praying that the attacker didnt come in. When you went and hid, then what did you see . I didnt get to see a whole bunch once i got inside. They had already taken down the knifeman in the car. So everyone was inside being safe. I didnt get to see anything in the classroom i was in. I was close to the initial incident. Yeah, no. I guess i mean inside, what was the reaction of students who were scared and trying to hide . Everyone was on edge. No one was freaking out in the area i was. Everyone figured it was under control because we were near the biggest section of policemen on campus at that point. Everyone close to me felt safe more or less. And logan, i read that you have a regret that you werent able to tackle the attacker and to stop him. I just hope that you will be able to get past that because everyone understands that you did the best you could, as did everyone in that situation. Were so grateful for the officer who showed up so quickly and was able to take him out. Yeah. Doctor theres no doubt hes the true hero in this situation. Absolutely. Dr. Thomas, logan chapman, thank you very much for being here. Best of luck to you guys. Thank you. Thank yo lest get to chris. That kids job was to survive. The only person responsible for what happened there is the boy who did it. Breaking news, 75 People Killed after this charter plane crashed going from bolivia to colombia. Inside, a Brazilian Soccer Team as well as traveling media and of course the staff and crew. The amazing part of this is that there are survivors. Lets get the very latest from cnns Shasta Darlington live in rio de janeiro. This is going to be hard news there. This team had just ascended to national stardom. Reporter thats right, chris. This really is being treated like a national tragedy. As you said, there is the silver lining. There are now six survivors. Just a few minutes ago, we thought it was only five. As rescue workers pulled aside the fuselage, they found a sixth person who survived. This has been difficult work. Very rainy conditions. Of course, the crash occurred just outside of medellin, colombia, right around 1 00 a. M. There are five survivors in the hospital. Theyve just found a sixth. We know two of them are from the chapecoense Brazilian Soccer Team. One of them is a crew member. There are hundreds of people already gathering at the stadium, just waiting for details about who the survivors were and who didnt make it. Really, tough story in this soccer crazy country. We know that the plane took off from bolivia as the team was headed this was the final leg of their journey, headed to this south american tournament. They were ecstatic right before they took off. They were celebrating the fact they had climbed up, clawed their way up to the top tier r in brazils football league, and now they were going to represent their home team at this very important tournament, chris and alisyn. Oh, my gosh, shasta. Just seeing the video of them at the airport obviously before all of this, its really striking and to know that there are survivors. Please keep us updated on that story. All right. Turning now to the white house transition. President elect donald trump will meet tonight with mitt romney, who is still reportedly on the short list for secretary of state. Mr. Trump confirming moments ago his cabinet pick for health and human services, a vocal critic of obamacare. Sarah murray is live in washington. What have you learned . Reporter good morning. Well, the trump transition effort is make a few staffing announcements official today, saying donald trump will choose tom price, the congressman, to be the secretary for health and human service. And also hes going to choose seema verma, a Health Care Policy ceo, to be the new administrator for the centers for medicare and medicaid services. Now, even though hes moving forward with some of these staff announcements, other ones seem to be in a trickier position, especially what to do about secretary of state. Donald trump is barrelling ahead with another round of cabinet picks today. Sources say hes slated to name georgia congressman tom price, a fierce critic of obamacare, to lead the department of health and human services. The most important thing that the American People understand and appreciate is that its destructive to their health care. Reporter and after this teaser from Vice President elect mike pence monday evening a number of very important announcements tomorrow. Reporter more announcements could be in the pipeline today. But on one of the thornest issues, who will fill the coveted position of secretary of state, it appears trump is still pondering his options. The president elect is slated to dine with mitt romney tonight, a sign hes still in the running for the job, in spite of the protest of some of trumps top aides. The number of people who feel betrayed to think that a governor romney would get the most prominent cabinet post after he went so far out of his way to hurt donald trump. Reporter adding to the intrigue, trump plans to sit down with another candidate for the role of the nations top diplomat today, Senate ForeignRelations Committee chairman bob corker. After meeting with David Petraeus on monday, trump tweeted he was very impressed. Very good conversation. Well see where it goes from here. Reporter but petraeus, whos in the running for a variety of National Security and defense slots, could be a problematic pick. While trump continually attacked Hillary Clinton on the campaign trail for her handling of classified information she deleted the emails. She has to go to jail. Reporter petraeus comes with his own baggage. He stepped down in 2012 as cia director amid fallout from an extramarital affair and was convicted of a misdemeanor for sharing classified information with his mistress. Hes currently on probation in that case. This morning it appears donald trump is awake and tweeting, although not about anything that has to do with the cabinet positions he has to fill. I want to draw your attention to one of his tweets this morning, saying nobody should be allowed to burn the american flag. If they do, there must be consequences, perhaps loss of citizenship or a year in jail. Now, even though many people, of course, disagree with anything to desecrate the american flag, this is a right thats protected under the First Amendment, and its a right the Supreme Court in the United States has upheld on multiple occasions. Back to you guys. 1969, thats when the law changed, making flag burning speech. Sarah murray, thank you very much. So what is the future of the aca, obamacare, the Affordable Care act . Is mitt romney really a candidate for secretary of state . Were going to get you some insight from a member of the Trump Transition Team next. All right. So the president elect just tweeted that burning the flag should be a crime. There have been comments that millions voted illegally, and there are also some real questions about whats the future of your health care and whos going to be the main diplomat for the United States of america. Lets discuss them all with Transition Communications director jason miller. Good to see you. Good morning. Lets try and get the balance right this morning. Can we agree that theres constitutional law that burning the flag, as much as we might hate it, is defended First Amendment speech . Chris, flag burning is completely ridiculous. I think you know that. I think the vast majority of americans would agree. But legal. Chris, its completely ridiculous. I dont think theres a big universe of people out there who support flag burning. Its terrible and despicable, but the big news, chris, this morning, you saw this, i know were going to get to it, dr. Tom price to run hhs and seema verma. A big impact on repealing obamacare. I want to talk about those. When the president elect says something, when the president of the United States saying something, we got to listen. When he says something should be illegal thats a protected constitutional right, im not saying i like t but thats a big part of the First Amendment in this country. A frustrating, maddening part of it is that you have to respect peoples ability to say what you dont like to hear. The president just said burning the flag should be illegal. It is a protected constitutional right. Can we agree on that . No, we completely disagree. You dont think the constitution has been defended by the Supreme Court in 1969 as validating burning the flag as free speech . Chris, absolutely should be illegal, but again, we know why were this morning. Were going to talk about the Transition Team, about what this government is going to do for the American People. I think most americans would agree with me that nag burning should be illegal. Its completely despicable. But it is constitutional. You show that. The president should know that. It should be illegal, chris. All right. I dont want to run in circles either, but these things matter, jason. They just do. When things have been vetted by the Supreme Court, you have to respect that. You have to respect that. Should it be illegal . Thats a political question. But if you pass a law that contradicts a law of the land, thats seen as constitutional. I hold the flag sacred as well. Doesnt mean someone doesnt have the right it burn it. Im saying whats legal may not be likable. Chris, i very much respect your opinion. I think we see its not an opinion. Its the law. 1969. Youre not actually diving in and advocating and defending flag burning. You have to defend what is legal in this country under the constitution. Just because i dont like it doesnt mean that its not legal, its not right for somebody. What do you want this country to be, only what you like . Only what president elect trump likes . Thats whats now okay behavior in america . Bad day for a lot of people. Flag burning should be illegal. End of story. Lest talk about how were going to repeal and replace obamacare and
