house for $19 rahel solomon in new york and this is cnn >> you are in the cnn newsroom. i'm alex marquardt in washington thank you so much for joining us tonight. it is a split-screen face-off down in georgia where both president joe biden and former president donald trump are trying to motivate their supporters for his part, president biden stuck to the themes of his fiery and political state of the union address two nights ago, touching on democracy, the economy and health care. although he >> so he did make one big change, calling out trump by name, which he did not do on thursday night. and the former president leveled his own fair share of criticism at joe biden

with a big focus on the southern border and the broken immigration system i want to get straight to cnn's priscilla alvarez, who's been traveling today with the president priscilla. the georgia audience heard a lot of overlap at the rally tonight between the state of the union and his message there in atlanta. but the president also apologized for something that he said to the country on thursday night. what did he say? >> that's right, alex. and it was a bit of a pivot. he was referred he was asked, i should say, about his comments during the state of the union when referencing the alleged suspect in the laken riley killing here in georgia in the moment he called that person, any legal that's a term that has long been decried right. immigrant advocates. but when interviewed on msnbc today, the president said that he should have said the word on documented documented version. >> i shouldn't have usually gone >> as undocumented and look, when i spoke about the

different future in trump on me, one of the things i talked about in the border was but here's the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood. i talked about what i'm not going to do, what i won't do, i'm not going to treat any any any of these people with disrespect and built the country. the reason our economy is growing, we have to control the border and more orderly slow, but i don't share it. have you at all? >> you regret using that word? yes >> of course, the president's comments there coming after criticism from democratic lawmakers and immigrant advocates earlier in the week, the president, so that he had not regretted using the term, clearly a change here, but look this here in atlanta was a firearm three speech from president biden where he ticked through his domestic accomplishments and also weighed out the vision for the next four years if he were to be reelected on reproductive rights, on the worrying health care costs, student loan debt relief among a host of other policies that the sum ministration has touted. but in

the course of that, he was also interrupted by a protest welcome. call them genocide joe, and that was a moment that again, it was a reminder of the fractures that are within the president's coalition that he is still trying to manage, that has been difficult for his campaign. but all the same. what was clear here was that he needed to shore up support among a key constituency ahead of what's going to be a heated election cycle in a crucial state, he only narrowly won in 2020. >> now, our personnel, alvarez, covering the president in atlanta today. thank you very much. let's get straight to cnn's steve contorno in rome, georgia. he's been at the rally that donald trump is undertaking in that part of georgia. so steve, donald trump reacting to biden's state of the union, and he mocked the delivery. what did he say? >> i got an idea exactly. i'll turn down trump is speaking to that extended criticism of the various legal troubles that he is facing, including here in georgia, but he started his

speech with a rebuttal of storage the president's state of the union address. >> and yes, he did attack me >> go we all heard cookie joe's angry, dark, hate-filled rant of a state of the union address, wasn't it didn't it bring us together emergency worker, bring the country together >> joe biden gave the most divisive partisan, radical, and extreme speech ever delivered by a president in that chamber. not even close rather than trying to bring our country together, he tried to cling to power by tearing our country a puddle. joe biden should not be shouting angrily at america. america should be shouting angrily at joe biden >> now he continued to speak about phil immigration. and lengthen the war. in fact, he offered a response to the president earlier today, saying

that he shouldn't use that term illegal and incensing, you should use the term on documented. he said quotes, he was an illegal immigrants. he wasn't illegal alien. he wasn't illegal migrant nation should tap it in our country and that has been the theme of the speech that his appearance here so far he has laid to the president for his handling of the situation at the southern border, passing out to his supporters here, posters that feature laken riley. she is the 20 year-old who was killed while running in georgia by allegedly by an undocumented and individual. and she has become a galvanizing figure in this race so far, so clearly we are, we are seeing a window into president trump's strategy against joe biden is going to focus very much on illegal immigration in states like georgia, that he lost the 2020 all right. >> steve contorno at the trump rally in rome, georgia. thanks very much joining me now to discuss republican strategist alice stewart, democratic strategist chuck rocha, and

former republican congressman joe walsh. thank you all for joining me this evening. alice, i want to start with you what we just heard from the former president going after the current president about his delivery, highlighting his stutter which the president has been very open about. we've also seen offstage a very aggressive response to that ad in which biden acknowledges his, his age. what do you make of this tone? >> i think going after his his age and his questions about whether or not he is suitable to run for reelection. that's an easy one, right? that is easy to point out. but i listened to trump's speech. he didn't talk about that too much. he did talk about it, but he's spent much of his time talking about the importance of immigration and laken riley and the fact that this biden administration has really put their head and saying that how this case has sent shockwaves through the people of georgia. i went to the university of georgia. i ran many miles on that campus. i can tell you there are people in the peach

state that say this could happen to me. and the fact that it took this president almost two weeks to even acknowledge her name and say that an innocent woman was killed by an illegal, which is factually accurate that is really disturbing to a lot of people and that is why we're seeing people speak out against his immigration policies. that is why members of the house have come up for but the laken riley act, which calls for detention of migrants in this country who are committed, accused of burglary or theft. they are taking action. so biden can stick his head in the sand about the seriousness of the laken riley act, but it's going to be at his peril because people are outraged. >> i mean, he did take that pin that marjorie taylor greene gave him saying say her name, and he held it up at the state of the union. chuck, what do you make of of laken riley's death and becoming such a flashpoint in this at the state of the union, at the trump rally today where her family was in attendance. and what do you make of the president's regret there in that interview for using the word illegal

instead of undocumented. >> i think that immigration is an important issue. it's been an important issue for a long time ever since 911 are system has literally been broke, there has been a bipartisan bill that was passed through the senate with a republican from oklahoma. now, mobile from texas, i'm going to tell you that folks from oklahoma aren't rage and liberals. so he was a concerted, a ton of forgot to way to fix the border fix a system, fix the asylum system that's broken, fix all of the above because republicans have two parts here. one is, they have a system that is broken, but they also have to get voters out to vote and they are looming losing republican women by the droves because of the dobbs decision that's just the fact. and they're trying to use this issue and openly admit that it was a political decision to not pass the immigration reform bill. so they could use it to do exactly what they're doing right now is to use it for their political gain. >> and joe walsh, the dnc, tried to head off some of these attacks. they've put up billboards near the rally site where trump was in georgia today blaming him for killing the bipartisan border deal. do you think that voters are going to be holding trump accountable

for that? >> outside? don't but just give me a second. we can't brush by what you lead with donald trump mocked joe biden stuttering and we can't rush past the other acts of cruelty that this guy puts out there. what a, what a horrible human being he is. >> he >> mocked a disability of the current president. i mean, think about that. >> that's horrible. >> now, on immigrants ration, and i agree with alice, this is too late. joe biden ignored and did not take seriously this issue for three years and it got dramatically worse. yeah, republicans are just playing politics right now by ignoring that bill. but, but i think it's just too late in the game for biden to all of a sudden get energized about, about immigration.

>> and this is, you know, joe, to your point, this is not the first time that the president has mocked people with disabilities. yeah, i think he's talked about president stutter before, as well as of course, mocking that reporter during his campaign. back in 2016 been viciously. i want you all to stay with me because i want to get your thoughts on another big story that is making waves today after the state of the union, there are reports that a story that was told by senator katie britt of alabama in her response to the state of the union on thursday night is not exactly what it seems the junior senator from alabama criticized president joe biden's border policies by telling the story of meeting a woman who has sex trafficked by the cartel, starting at just 12 years old. and using that anecdote to call the chaos at the southern border, president biden's border crisis i traveled to the del rio sector of texas. that's where i spoke to a woman who shared her story with me she had been sex

trafficked by the cartels starting at the age of 12. she told me not just that she was raped every day but how many times a day she was raped? the cartels put her on a mattress in a shoe box of a room and they sent men through that door over and over again for hours and hours on end we wouldn't be okay with this happening in a third world country this is the united states of america and it is past time, in my opinion, that we start acting like it president biden's border policies are a disgrace >> cnn has now confirmed details first reported by

freelance journalists jonathan katz, that the story britt is describing from her 2023 trip actually happened in the mid 2000s when joe biden was neither the president nor the vice president. and it didn't happen in the united states. it happened in mexico. >> those >> details shared by senator britt lineup with the horrific story shared by karla jacinto romero in 2015 when she testified in a public congressional hearing about human rights i through a translator, romero said that for four years starting when she was 12, she was quote, emotionally and sexually violated time and time again. >> she >> also explained how at age 16 she was able to escape and has since become an activist. senator britt met carlo romero in that 2023 trip that she referenced in her speech photos and a press release from a fellow senator. show show them holding a roundtable with romero down in texas where are they discussed the work being done to rescue victims of human

trafficking. in a statement to cnn, a spokesperson for brits office neither confirmed nor denied that britt was sharing jacinto romero is account, but said that the story the senator told was 100% correct. none of this is meant to downplay the real situation unfolding at the us, mexico, mexico border. but to provide context to what millions heard during senator britt's address. on thursday night i want to bring my panel back in to discuss this alice, you have spent years helping republican officials craft their messages what did you make of what senator britt said how she said it, and the story that appears to have holes. >> well, we can all agree that story is chilling and it really, really tugs at your heart and it's disgusting to hear that being said, you can't blame this on joe biden. look playing loose with the truth on this takes away from the truth of biden's border policies, and i think the fact

that britt has gotten into the situation takes away from the real issue of biden's disastrous border policies. and she did acknowledge the problem, and that is that when joe biden came into office on day one issuing an executive actions taking away donald trump's remain in mexico policy, stopping the border wall, and then waiting for three years as the surge at the border of migrants got bigger and bigger and bigger and did not take action until they were sent to democratic cities. weather we're talking about new york, chicago, and denver. then democratic official said, hey, this is a problem, and now we're entering into a presidential campaign. and joe biden says, okay, now it's time to address this issue. that is the real issue, and that is what people are frustrated with. >> joe. you were shaking your head there. do you agree with alice that it undermines the republican criticism? of biden? >> look, i respect my friend alex know the issue here. the issue is a united states senator out in out lied. alex,

you're right. she blamed biden for this. it happened years before joe biden was president. she said it happened at our border in the in this country. it happened in mexico. she lied. i mean we get into so much nuance around these sorts of things quick, quick with the nuance, she sat in front of the american people and she lied to us about a very serious problem that's despicable. >> chuck, how much do you think think the president needs to be talking about the border on the campaign trail at the border is going to be an issue. i'm a democrat, i'm here to tell you it's going to be an issue, but you can also do it the right way to joe's point. what i started with is what i'm going to end with is that you can't use this for political points. let's use it to try to fix a problem that's a real problem that benefits all the american people all right, alice stewart, chuck rocha, joe walsh. thank you all very much. up. next we'll be hearing from someone living and working in southern gaza right now, is the work continues about the desperate need for more aid and the difference that even a brief ceasefire can make for struggling families. and legal

pause in the fighting, but a return of the hostages who are being held by hamas and other groups in the gaza strip. president biden, however, saying it is still possible by ramadan, take a listen >> rishi i director in that region, right? just minutes still talking about i think it's always possible. i never give up on that now this comes as at least eight people, including two children, were killed in an israeli airstrike in central gaza. that's according to palestinian health officials. and we are seeing people die of starvation and malnutrition with the united nations warning that four out of five households don't have safe drinking water and now the white house is saying that the united states is joining other countries to send humanitarian aid via a maritime corridor from the island of cyprus to gaza by boat. and the us says, it will be building a floating pier and causeway on the coast of gaza, but that could take up to two months according to the pentagon earlier tonight, i spoke with use of hammash, an

advocacy officer for an aid group called the norwegian refugee council. and i asked him about what he's seeing, what his family is experiencing on the ground in southern gaza and the city of rafah. take a listen yes. there are hundreds of thousands of people who as you say, are in the northern part of the gaza strip who don't have access to what is already very, very limited aid that you may have access to in the south, one of the solutions that the us and other countries have come up with or airdrops dropping aid from airplanes into gaza. do you know if those have made any difference? and when you hear about the united states planning to build that pier, that dock on the water on the coast of gaza. how much do you think that would help and if possible, and we we started they simply to hear that to hear a lot about the airdropping >> first thing and it's small hail even for one child, it worth it, but i don't think that it was realistic to spend all that amount of effort on l

dropping. and that's we have a huge fail at recently when one of the airdrops, that one of the items that have been drugged have killed some people in the north and that was not realistic option while we could tradition, community and world leaders and us specialty could spend more efforts coordinating with this when its closest ally with could use its influence to allow the tract, which is like half an hour away from rafah crossing or current shalom crossing. now, they are talking about this kind of a seaboard. unfortunately, spending all, again, all of these efforts on building a c4, c4 to allow aid is kind of unrealistic to be honest, we are the gazans. he already were dreaming for ease to have a small piece of land in as a seaport. but in the situation that can circumstances that we are going through in gaza, it's going to be more efficient if we allow the aid and veterans community use their influence on israel

to allow different areas all across gaza and don't put that restrictions on aid. and we had different borders were in the north and gaza city like gardening, crossing point in gaza city and erez crossing point into north. and despite we left all of that and we went to go to more kind of unrealistic options. unfortunately, >> the us has said that israel will open up a northern border crossing in the next few weeks. which one we don't know right now, but yusov, as you know, israel also accuses hamas of stealing much of the aid that goes into gaza. we've seen all kinds of widespread looting, but how big of an issue is it of hamas taking some of that aid as israel alleges >> yet here we are operating and mainly and we will observe and we supervise all of the delivery of all of our items under a very technical, you just stick procedures to reach the people in need. we didn't notice or seen any of all of

these allegations on the ground. and that's our own experience working in the field for more and more than 13 sites. they were no evidence on all of these allegations so far, and we were we are working in their underground and rafah and i'm talking about rafah serving all these amounts, thousands of displaced families that we reach. >> and >> we didn't see anything on the ground related to all of these allegations. >> and again, if there is obviously these discussions about a ceasefire that could mean a break in the fighting again, and this time for at least six weeks what would that mean for your family >> and to be honest, we are looking for a second to breathe. can even one hour is we just looking for a breath? but there's an r re experience, we had that too humanitarian boss they have different meanings, different names for everything for one week. and after then we after

that week we found ourselves in an endless nightmare. the bottom that have intensified the meshy in the michigan killing two will have increased significantly. we don't want to find ourselves in that circle of violent again and again, we are looking for permanent ceasefire ensured that dignity and that basic human life for people who are suffering for years under the siege. and now we are on this 155 days of madness that we are going through. with all of these circumstances surrounding as bombardment drones, lack of a, lack of fuel, lack of drinking water, doesn't have the ability to provide for your own children. all of that, we are looking for an end for it and we are hoping that this is not going to be a break we want we don't need a break we want out to ensure our lives back. we

our lives back as far as cnn, who are trapped in gaza under this situation. >> yeah, so many gazans, of course, hoping that it's not just a pause, but a permanent ceasefire and an end to this war. our thanks to yousef hammash for speaking with us earlier. i want to speak now with lieutenant general mark hertling is a cnn military analyst and a former us army commanding general mark president biden has warned that if there is no ceasefire in place by the beginning of ramadan, which is supposed to start tomorrow night that things could become very, very dangerous. he spoke about that danger rising in israel in jerusalem, of course, muslims, many muslims go to al-aqsa mosque during, during ramadan, but wider than that, how worried are you about this, about this period and ramadan? >> it's very difficult alex and certainly ramadan the most holy month for muslim religion, is going to have an effect on all of this. there was an attempt to have this cease fire

in place or this causation in the kinds of fighting we've seen over the last couple of months but it's very difficult because hamas continues to say that they will not abide by any of the regulations of the ceasefire that's being offered. they've been offered the hundreds, literally of palestinian prisoners being released for even just the naming of israeli hostages that are still in place. they refused to do that. and we have to remember and i just saw your interview with mr. hammash and it's very interesting to hear him say some of the things that are contrary to what we know is the facts. the facts are but hamas has used palestinian citizens as shields. they have purposely done that as part of their strategy for mr. hammash to say he has no indication of that ever happening is just ludicrous and it goes against

all facts that we know. certainly the humanitarian crisis is horrific in gaza right now. and we need to continue to work for a cessation of it. but i saw not only that commentary saying that nothing is going on, that hamas is not getting the aid. it seems to be ludicrous because there's proof to the opposite that that is actually happen. that hamas is cold flopping a lot of the a and the fact that the airdrops that we've seen over the last couple of days have delivered literally hundreds of thousands of meals, right. for mr. hamas to cite the one example where a palestinian citizen ran underneath a palette that was being dropped and was killed is just ludicrous because literally really hundreds of thousands of palestinian citizens have been given this a and is the president has attempted to do this new approach to delivering aid. it's something i'll issue to a term called j lots drain logistics over the shore

establishing those peers and those corridors will provide much more aid, it will take some time to get it in place. i counter the fact that it will take months. it will likely take weeks, but it's still will get humanitarian aid to the palestinians who are not fighting against the israelis >> yeah, hammash also told us that every piece of aid, every meal, every palette that comes down his it helps there are tens of thousands of meals on board there. but at the same time, general, what do you make of the fact that the us is now having to do these dangerous, expensive airdrops, having to build this pier, this seaport. that's going to take according the pentagon those in troops to do it, they're going to hire a company to ship aid in when most experts will tell you and the us officials will tell you that it is even it would just be easier for israel to open up those border crossings and have trucks go in by land yeah, it

would alex, except for the fact that they know that the majority of those trucks not only hold aid, but they >> also hold weapons that has been proven as well throughout this campaign. so it was real is very hesitant, general, i can push back that has not been proven that there are a lot trucks sorry. are you saying that those trucks that have been going into gaza for the past few months are holding weapons for for hamas because that's not something that has been proven it. >> has been proven actually there had been weapons found in some of those trucks, not all of them, certainly. and it's easy to hide that kind of equipment in those trucks were talking about literally hundreds of trucks going through that you can't x-ray all of them. you can't inspect all of them to ensure that some of these are not getting to the hamas fighters and even the aid that consists of food and water that's going in will certainly get to some of those fighters because they integrate

themselves among the people. alex, truthfully, i've had the same the kind of experience in combat where you want to get the humanitarian aid the people that deserve it, right? but the terrorists in the insurgency actually intercept that aid and use it for their own purposes. and that's what israel is concerned about. but that doesn't mean that you stop sending the aid in. on the contrary, as us officials have said, you flood the zone so that more aid can get in. and in fact, israel is inspecting every single truck that goes in into the gaza strip right now to make sure that there are no weapons going in and they've been accused of going too far. and in removing things that are seen by israel as these dual use items and essentially going too far. but what is clear is not enough, just getting into the gaza strip, they are inspecting, they are inspecting the trucks now, but that wasn't occurring in the beginning and some of the weapons and some of the meals got to the hamas fighters. it was a supply chain for the insurgents and the terrorists. and that's basically what you have to be careful of. my ever

you're fighting these kinds of organization. and what i would counter you by saying they are flooded the zone that's why the airdrops have occurred. that's why these peers are being dropped. that's why those are all supplementing the ground convoys that are going in and being intercepted and showing the kinds of things we saw over a week ago where many people basically gang rush those trucks and got as much stuff out of them as they could before they there were being distributed. >> the us and others trying to flood the zone. but clearly everyone agrees there is not enough aid going in there right now. lieutenant general mark hertling, we have to leave it there. thank you so much for your time tonight. we'll be right back. >> the greatest stage sick joke about for a >> lifetime where you have tbs >> okay, everyone, our >> mission is to provide

comes to campaign cash, former president trump is lagging well behind president biden and part of the problem for >> trump is his mounting legal bills. he just posted a $91 million bond against what he owes the writer e jean carroll for defaming her on top of that, he's still owe some 400 feet $50 after the judge ordered him to pay in that civil fraud verdict in new york. and just for good measure, a court in london has ordered that he must pay six figures in legal fees to accompany that he sued in the uk. let's bring in former federal prosecutor, shan wu for all of these legal threads. so shan trump just talked about this $91 that he's got to pay. he didn't mention e. jean carroll's name, but this is what he says. take a listen >> i just posted a $91,000,000 by 91 million on a fake story,

totally made up. sorry >> take 91 million >> i could say >> things about what it would cost. normally, 91 million based on false accusations made about me by a woman that i knew nothing about, didn't know. never heard of. i know nothing about her. she wrote a book, she said things and what i denied it. i said it's so crazy, it's false i get sued for defamation >> but shan calling it a fake made-up story, that he knew nothing about this woman calls it so crazy how does this open them up more, two more legal issues? >> yeah. he is the gift that keeps on giving the e jean carroll and her attorneys. i mean, that's basically the whole kit and caboodle all over again. he continues to say it's false. he says it's made up and that's certainly opens them up to that. i mean, it's illegal strategic decision if they want to do another defamation suit. but on the face of an even though he doesn't name her, it's obvious. i mean, incredibly obvious. that's the amount of

money. and those are the allegations. so it seems clear he's continuing to claim that's false. so >> he was already found liable. he's already been told to pay more than $90 million. he's posted that bond, so you're saying that carroll and her legal team could bring a new case? it's not when he's just said, oh, i think so. yeah. i mean, that's up to them. they're experts on it, but based just on listening to what he is saying, he is again, saying that her allegations are crazy, that they're false, and he doesn't even know or so is there a chance now that he's posted this bond that she will indeed see that money. i mean, he is appealing the bond is meant to ensure that if as soon as he loses the appeal, which i think you will, that that money is right away made available. so that certainly is a big step towards that. otherwise, he'd have to put up himself and that's obviously impossible for him. at the moment when these financial crunches, he's undergoing >> all right, remarkable that he would risk during that so soon after after this case, shan wu, thanks very much. appreciate it. >> you're coming up. the truth is out there. if you're someone who wants to find a ufo, you're not alone ahead. how the

uaps detection kit is called gremlin. it's being developed by the us military in an effort to respond faster to reported ufo sightings and to collect better data once they get they're timothy phillips, who is the acting director of the pentagon's all-domain anomaly office. the pentagon's office that investigates uap sightings explained these gremlin sensor kits like this, quote we're doing is developing a deployable configurable sensor suite that we can put in pelican cases. since the uap target, the signature is not clearly defined. we really have to do hyperspectral surveillance to really try to capture these incidents now, hyperspectral means across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. so they're trying to collect everything from x-rays and ultraviolet rays to microwave and radio waves. >> things >> really outside the normal signatures of flying objects. most flying objects, things

like jets produce a big heat signature from their hot engines some of these uaps do not. so that's one thing that these gremlin sensors are going to help try to do, collect better data and they're currently being tested at a big range out in texas. and the pentagon is especially interested in in deploying them sensitive national security sites, places like us military bases, navy ships, places where a lot of these uap sightings have been concentrated now, the pentagon initially shared this news about the gremlin sensor kits at a briefing with a select group of reporters, cnn's oren liebermann was one of them and at this briefing, the whole point of it was to preview a report that dropped on friday, and this was a report that at the pentagon put together and it was mandated by congress. and what this report concluded is that quote, the

aaro found no evidence that any us government investigation, academic sponsored research, or official review panel has confirmed that any sighting of a uap representing extra terrestrial phil technology. the report concluded that most sightings were ordinary objects and phenomena, and the result of misidentification. but the reports still does not explain the uaps that were caught on camera by us military pilots who testified under oath on capitol hill the uaps that they saw were behaving in ways that defied the laws of physics. so still a lot of questions here, but the pentagon is hoping that these gremlin kits, these portable ufo uap detection kits will help them collect better data, which can then help them get some better answers. kristin fisher, cnn, washington >> thanks kristin fisher for that report. up next before he hits the stage to host the oscars, comedian jimmy kimmel took time to sit down with cnn. the admission he's making about
