erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. >>> "outfront" next, crackdown. a russian couple arrested for having a private conversation critical of putin's war. this is putin's former speech writer tells me his former boss is erratic with no strategy. plus, cnn learning a seventh officer from the memphis police department has been relieved of duty after the arrest and beating of tyre nichols. and wait until you see what the strategy is to stop him. let's go "outfront." "outfront" tonight, arrested. a russian couple handcuffed just for criticizing putin's war. according to the independent russian monitoring group. the couple was having a private conversation you're looking at here. the conversation had some things critical of the war in ukraine. somebody called the police. you see there. the couple were arrested. this is the type of police state that of course we saw in nazi germany. informant, people rounded up just for speaking out. having a private conversation at a restaurant. this is coming as putin is stepping up his assault on the eastern part of the fr

>> i anticipate that he will, erin. i have been among 20 who have -- it was described on your air and other places as chaos and dysfunction. but in the course of four days, we've completed work that has gone on for six months or better to come to an agreement with kevin mccarthy that will -- it is historic. that will, as one person told me today, is transformational. and so i believe that with our votes and the ones they're continuing to work on, kevin will become speaker. and will immediately proceed to begin a package by restoring the motion to vacate the care as thomas jefferson conceived it before nancy pelosi, we're starting right away. >> when you say on the ones they're still working on, what is the strategy right now? are there going to be three of the six remaining that vote present? are you trying to get anybody to vote for mccarthy? what is the actual math that gets you to a speaker kevin mccarthy tonight? >> well, you know, those are the tasks of kevin's people and the whip team and so forth. what we are doi

>> it really doesn't, erin. i mean, look, in the kind of ether, right, there's going to be an enormous amount of pressure on doj and special counsel jack smith in terms of the decision he makes, the existence of this other biden issue certainly doesn't make that any easier. but, as a legal matter, whether or not joe biden or any of his staff committed wrongdoing with respect to these dozen or so documents offers no shelter to donald trump in his own investigation. his investigation is going to be determined based on the facts and the law as are presented to the prosecutors. and, you know, our system of criminal justice doesn't work along the lines of, well, he did it too so you should let me go. that's not a factor. the factors are the law and the facts. and that's what, you know -- in the former president is facing some very negative facts and some very tough laws in his own investigation, and what happens with the biden investigation legally should not have an impact on that. >> all right, thank you both very

i'm erin burnett. "outfront" tonight, convicts on the front line. new audio into "outfront" of the chief of the brutal private russian army fighting on the front lines in ukraine, the wagner group. the chief yevgeny prigozhin's influence with putin has been surging. this is what prigozhin is now telling convicted criminals who have finished their tours of duty with him about staying out of prison. listen for yourself. >> translator: don't drink a lot, don't use drugs, and don't rape any chicks. keep telling yourselves over and over not to end up in the slammer again. okay? i need you to come back to the war. so don't [ bleep ] up. okay? remember your oaths. >> might need them to come back? the wagner group has been relying on convicts to fight. just listen to this. "the washington post" has reported that 80% of wagner's fighters are convicts. so, let me give you that number a different way. 40,000 convicts out of an army for that private wagner group of 50,000. and those convicts have been dying fast and furiously. just listen to a wagner commander.

i'm erin burnett. outfront tonight, president biden makes a promise, a promise to ukraine to give whatever it needs. >> all the help they need. >> it comes as the u.s. today targets the private russian military force the wagner group, designating it a transnational criminal organization. the wagner group is what is leading putin's war right now. right now making the only known progress on the battlefield for putin. that means the man running russia's most powerful private army is making a name for himself. here is yevgeny progozhin, publically declaring his men are the ones that captured a key city outside of bakhmut. >> translator: we can safely say that the settlement of one of the most important suburbs of bakhmut has been completely taken under the control of wagner pmc units, exclusively by wagner pmc units. klishchiivka has been liberated. >> wagner is not the russian defense. it's not the russian military. it's a separate group. emphasizing this word exclusively, that it was he and not they. he

and erin, let me end on this. are you concerned that people are more susceptible, as we endure this cost—of—living crisis? absolutely. look, this increased pressure on consumers to earn more money might make them more susceptible, but i think more importantly, it gives a big tool to criminals who are designing these schemes and this conduct. so, consumers might be out there looking more often than they otherwise would have, and deceptive videos or website content can make it seem like it's very easy, but the fact is that often it's not. you have to put in a lot of time and effort. unless you can capitalise on an existing skill, it is something where you don't go into this with the expectation that you are going to earn a lot of money. maybe it's just something that you're doing for fun, but again i think it is more important to focus on the fact that this is really a tool for criminals, so that when you see something that comes across your social media that maybe you weren't expecting, just remember, someone i

we were joined by erin collins was a national taxpayer advocate. talk about that, talk about your organization and report to oucongress. first of all fills in on the role you play with the irs. >> first of all good morning. so, the national taxpayer advocate in the office i lead is a creation of congress. over 20 years ago congress wanted toag give taxpayers help, in essence were they created the position. it is within the irs even though we are independent division or agency within the irs. give a couple missions to key ones are once a year at the end of the year we file our end report to congress. the statute requires us to identify what we believe our tent serious problems impacting taxpayers orr taxpayer rights as well as make recommendations for irs corrective. just get the opportunity to make legislative suggestions so they can fix the tax law which would benefit taxpayers. the other sort of hat wheelers worked with taxpayers one on one with their problems with the irs they can come into one of our local offices we work with them sort of as a

>> erin, we're very confident that we can secure a conviction. we have a very strong case, and we're ready to let the process go forward. >> so during the press conference today you said that there was an initial altercation, pepper spray was deployed at that time. so just on the very fundamental level here, district attorney, do you know what caused this to escalate? >> i wish i could give a definitive answer to that. i don't think i do know. from the video that we have the officers were already highly charged up from the very beginning of the video in the first incident, the first altercation. and then it just escalated further from there. >> to that point when you're saying they were highly charged up from the beginning i understand these officers were part of a so-called scorpion unit that tackles organized crime. do you have any evidence at this point to suggest that when they pulled him over or perhaps the reason they pulled him over or when they pulled him over they found out -- i don't know which it could be if either -- that they knew wh

erin witte, a reel pleasure having you on the show. thanks for all the advice, really appreciate it, and we will talk to you soon. so far on the show we have been hearing about people taking on a side hustle, some with success and some only to be scammed. my next guest, along with some colleagues, started a side hustle more than ten years ago when he was working as management consultant. today, it is a global travel operation running buses and trains around the world and serving 3a million people last summer alone. so, i caught up with the big boss. andre, real pleasure you having you on the show, and on the show this week, we have been talking about the side hustle. so i'm just wondering, how challenging was it to get this started while you were working somewhere else? great to be here, thanks for the invitation. and actually, it felt very natural for me to be doing it on the side, i think i was looking at doing it on the weekends, and even in consulting you don't work every weekend, so you have weekends off, and so i had time to do t

gary, erin, thank you. gary you first. i know you don't care what analysts think but goldman says that investors should consider increasing their exposure to equities if they weaken further. that means to me that they're bullish on the comeback story. i just wonder if they have the appetite after last year? do you have the appetite? >> all i can tell you the market had the best week since the highs of the market last week. the advance-decline figures moving up big time, more leadership. things like airlines, i mean skyrocketed last week. definitely much better. it has been all about the 10-year yield. in december the 10-year yield weren't up big time. the market went down big time. now the 10-year yield is coming down, market is going up. if that continues i think we have higher prices. to think we know the end of 2023 with some variables and so many crazies running the country right now i think that is going to far. i want to know what happens in the next three days before all of 2023 but so far so good this year. lauren:

"outfront" tonight, the davos deception. so the elite luxury alpine ski resort in davos, switzerland, is the center of the world's elite tonight, hosting right now probably still lots of parties going on, who's who in the world of money and politics. one world leader after the other there slamming putin's invasion of ukraine. even as the reported home of putin's ex-wife is located just steps away from the high-end partying going on. and it isn't just putin's ex-wife. switzerland is also a country where putin's girlfriend has stayed for long stretches of time, according to the "wall street journal." >> russia has been evading a war here on our doorstep and in europe. the ukrainians are bearing more than anyone. germany alone made available over 12 billion euros last year. we will continue to support ukraine for as long as necessary. we will continue to help ukraine in its struggle for freedom. >> and it went on and on and on. everybody who could get that stage said similar things. the world's elite appear to be united on this

erin, i want to start with you. just last august president biden signed the pact act which allowed people exposed to exposed water at camp lejeune to file new lawsuits, but you're finding it's not that civile, right? >> no. it's definitely not that simple, and yes, the camp lejeune justice act was and is a part of the pact act, and it's -- i want people to understand about camp lejeune which is a marine base here in north carolina, and for decades the marines and their families were being exposed to and drinking highly toxic water. they have been suffering the loss of their children, their spouses, multiple different diseases, conditions and cancers. this has been one of the most egregious, largest, toxic contaminated water issues we've ever seen in this country. and so being included in part of the pact act, which actually, jake, i thought was a great moment, congress passing an act put into a bill that would be doing the right thing for these marines and their families and those who had been poisoned. to find out

i'm erin burnett. out front tonight on the defensive. more classified documents and a special counsel. president biden says he does want to tell the american people everything he knows. >> let me -- i'm going to get a chance to speak on all of this, god willing, soon. >> he says he wants to speak but right now the white house isphasying a barrage of questions over the classified documents and so far the administration is speaking very little. >> but, again, i'm just not going to go beyond what the president said. i'm just not going to go into the particulars or specifics of what the department of justice did. i'm not going to get into the decisions that was made by the attorney general, and i'm not going to go beyond the lawyers say. i'm not going to go into specifics here. >> in case you missed it she's not going to go into specifics. look, it's not a joking matter. the tense white house briefing coming just a couple hours after attorney general merrick garland named robert herr, a former u.s. attorney who worked in the trump administra

erin, this is still unfolding. we don't know what's going to happen in the next hour or two. >> no, we don't. i mean, it is a complete unknown. we know that kevin mccarthy wanted to adjourn. maybe didn't have the votes. then patrick mchenry said they're going to be there a long time. scott, what are you hearing right now? >> one might be on the floor told me looks like the republicans may try to get to an adjournment motion shortly. if the republicans were able to get the votes together to adjourn, that likely signals that mccarthy made progress in this meeting he's been having with the 20 holdouts. >> all right. and here's the thing, david. the details of adjournment matter. i never thought those words would come out of my mouth. >> noon tomorrow. >> okay. if it's noon tomorrow, then you're coming back into session, by our understanding, you'll have at least four republicans not there and those four republicans are mccarthy supporters. ken buck is not there now. but that makes the math more difficult. so you're co

erin? >> ben wedeman, thank you so much on the ground in ukraine tonight. >>> i want to go to now putin long-time critic, bill browder. now he's a wanted man by putin. bill, i always appreciate speaking to you. i want to start with something i know you understand better than anyone. that st. petersburg official that i spoke with earlier today is now in exile in georgia. he's speaking out. signed a letter asking putin to free alexey navalny, demanding they have the right they deserve and he told me some who signed that letter are still in russia. the how fearful are you for all of these people's safety? >> very fearful. basically there's no willingness on the putin regime to tolerate any dissent. anybody who says anything like that will be put on a list and those people will become targets and so i would imagine that if anyone signed that letter is still in russia, then there will be a target to be arrested or perhaps worse. >> you also heard dmitry say he and others who signed the letter wh

erin? >> all right, ben, thank you very much. >>> and, next, now let's go to retired colonel cedric leighton. the russian investigative journalist whose news site has been blocked in russia. he has some new reporting for us tonight about what's going on inside the kremlin. i do want to get to that in just a moment. first, though, colonel leighton, from the reporting you see from ben, the brutal fight for soledar. and as ben said, the ukrainian tactic, a key one there, in this town, which is of such limited strategic importance is to kill as many fighters of the wagner group as possible. talking about one ukrainian soldier saying that they had taken -- captured one member of the wagner group. he said only three members of his 33-member platoon are still alive. is this worth it for russia to win a town that, when it had people lived in it, because now there's no structures even left essentially, had only 10,000 people. >> from our standpoint from a western viewpoint, we would say that it's ab

that said, erin, what are some of the red flags people should look for? some of the most common schemes that we've seen can really range. there can be some legitimate opportunities to and money as a side hustle, i am a personal trainer in my spare time, to the extent that i have any, in addition to my full—time work, there may be ways to do that, but there are certainly things to look out for if you are solicited with one of these, quote, unquote, business opportunities. things like drop shipping, where you can create an online store and sell things directly from the manufacturer to the consumer. also things like being a mystery shopper, online surveys or sometimes even multilevel marketing. a common theme that we see with these side hustles are taglines, like, earn money while you sleep, soliciting people who might not have specific skills for what they are being solicited for, or that they do not have to do much to earn a lot of money. there are also things that are just outright scams, like business coaching programs or investment coaching opportunit
