tariff on all steel and aluminum imports today. what that means for your wallet and the broader economy. plus, questioning checks and balances, vice president vance taking aim at the power of federal judges after key pieces of trump's agenda hit legal roadblocks. but will the administration abide by these rulings? and later super blowout what the philadelphia eagles head coach says was the key to philly's dominating win over kansas city in the super bowl. good morning. you are live in the cnn newsroom. i'm pamela brown in washington. and we begin with the latest escalation in the trade war. today, president trump is set to announce more tariffs, this time

focusing on aluminum and steel imports. >> we'll also be announcing steel tariffs on monday. >> of this tomorrow. >> monday. yeah. tomorrow. >> what countries will those go on everybody. steel including canada and mexico. >> any steel coming into the united states is going to have a 25% tariff. >> what about aluminum? >> aluminum two. >> but that's not all. he also says he'll announce reciprocal tariffs later this week, which could match other countries levies on u.s. goods, dollar for dollar. the trade for tat comes as the president and elon musk target more agencies in their fight to gut the federal workforce. later today. his so-called buyout offer is back in court. a hearing will be held in boston on whether it's even legal. so let's bring in cnn's alayna treene and paula reid as we try to understand all of what's going on right now. first to you, elaine. so these are new tariffs on top of the ones already in place. right. >> that's exactly right. yes pamela. so i'll break it down

for you this way. this is going to be new tariffs. as you mentioned 25% on us on steel coming into the united states as well as aluminum. now that is in addition to one the tariffs. we know that he has already implemented on china 10% across the board there. and then also in addition to the ones that he had pressed pause on. so remember canada and mexico, he had said earlier this month that he was going to be doing on february 1st, putting a 25% blanket tariff on both of the united states neighbors, but ended up pausing that for a month as they continue to work out these negotiations. however, now these countries are going to be seeing new tariffs, and canada and mexico in particular may be very may be hit very hard by these tariffs. we know that canada, brazil, mexico, south korea and vietnam, all of them the largest sources of u.s. steel. and then again, canada really getting hit hard. here. they are by far the largest supplier of premium aluminum to the united states. so this is

something that we know that the president obviously is taking very seriously. it's also something that when i talk to trump advisers and people close to the president, they say he really believes that the united states is being taken advantage of. and that's where a lot of this coming is coming from. however, we also know that the devil is in the details. and so it's very unclear exactly if there could be any sort of exemptions. um, and really what this could look like in its implications, all of that, of course, we're waiting to see when he announces those tariffs later today. >> all right. so turn to you now paula. a judge will hear a challenge to president trump's so-called federal buyout offer later today. what do we expect to happen in court? >> this is a big day not only for the trump administration, but also for federal employees contemplating accepting this offer because, as you said, the so-called fork in the road offer. it says that if you resign now as a federal worker, you will be paid through september. but a lot of unions have discouraged their employees from accepting this offer over questions about its legality. so

the judge today is considering further extending the deadline. it was last thursday. he moved it to today, further extending the deadline to accept. but also he's being asked to press the government for assurances that they actually have the authority to implement an agreement like this. the trump administration, they've tried to put a positive spin on this delay, thanking the judge for giving people more time to contemplate this offer. but they have a lot at stake. and what i'll say about talking to sources inside the justice department and other agencies who are contemplating this, this offer. yes. what happens in this court case matters. but really, fear is governing a lot of this decision making because there is a fear that if they don't accept this offer, that someone could try to find cause to fire them anyway and they could lose their pension. so this litigation is absolutely important to get clarity. but i will say that if the goal was just to instill fear and get people to leave government, that has been very successful. >> yeah, i think that that's an important point. the real life impact that all of this is having on people's lives. elena, back to you. speaking of

impact on people's lives, staff at the consumer financial protection bureau were just given this order. tell us about that. >> that's exactly right. i mean, really, as soon as we saw the president put russell vought in charge of the cfpb as acting director, i was actually just the day after a vote was confirmed to run the office of management and budget as well. we really saw the cfpb get thrown into chaos. now, this newest order that we're seeing today essentially is ordering all cfpb staff to stop working all together. it comes after initially he had said that he was going to be closing the the bureau's headquarters for the week and also urging people to to press pause on working. now, we've actually getting some of we have an email that vote sent to all cfpb staff. i want to read for you some of what he said in this email. he said, quote, please do not perform any work tasks. he said that employees that if there are any, quote, urgent matters, they must get approval in writing from the

bureau's chief legal officer before performing, quote, any work task. it also says, quote, otherwise employees should stand down from performing any work. so again, they are essentially being ordered to cease working altogether as we continue to see the trump administration and really vote, try to overhaul this bureau. now, i also want to show you what he posted on x. it just gets to really the point of a lot of this vote posted over the weekend. quote, the cfpb has been a woke and weaponized agency against disfavored industries and individuals for a long time. this must end now, to be clear, and just to put this a bit into context, the cfpb was first created by congress in 2011 during the the, you know, great financial crisis to be a financial watchdog. it's something really that wall street has, you know, argued has created a lot of headaches for them. and now we're seeing vote come in and really trying to overhaul the entire agency and ordering staff to stop working. so i think there'll be a lot of

questions about, again, whether he actually has the legal authority to do this. >> and the courts have been weighing in on that, that the legal authority of these some of these executive orders and moves and as the courts weigh in, paula, vice president jd vance is pushing back against judges challenging president trump's executive actions. what's his argument? >> yeah, exactly. defying the basic separation of power and suggesting that judges should not be able to curtail certain executive action. now, his comments come as the courts have pretty much across the board, sided against the trump administration. and this initial slew of challenges. but i want to caveat that this was expected. i mean, even before trump was even sworn in, his lawyers were telling me, look, we're going to put forward some policies. they're going to be challenged in court. they're going to be challenged in districts. >> where citizenship. >> exactly where where we knew we were going to lose. right. that that's sort of how this game is played. but then as the issue works its way through the courts, they think they have a better chance of prevailing on some of these issues. but it doesn't feel good to lose. they're clearly very upset. but

jd vance's comments, i mean, they do raise the question about whether the trump administration would heed, for example, an order from the supreme court if things don't go their way. now, the limits of executive power have been tested in this country many times, usually in the context of national security or war. right? what limits can congress put on the president? what limits can the courts put on the president? but this is very unique because we're talking about budgets. we're talking about financing. we're talking about federal employees. but this question was posed to the president on air force one. a reporter asked him if he agreed with this. and instead of answering the question, he just sort of mocked the reporter and moved on. so i think for the white house press corps, this has to be one of the things they pressed the president on, whether there is a suggestion here that he's just not going to abide by court orders if they try to curtail the work that he and specifically elon musk are doing. >> it is a very important question to be asking right now. thank you, paula elena, appreciate it. and joining us now is democratic congresswoman johanna hayes of connecticut. she's also on the house education and workforce

committee. thank you for coming on, congresswoman. we've been talking about how the trump administration is trying to dismantle certain agencies, including the department of education. that is next on doj's list. you are a former high school teacher, and the 2016 national teacher of the year. what is your response to that? >> well, good morning and thank you for having me. i think the actions of the president are absolutely illegal. congress and the executive branch are separate, separate but co-equal branches. and i'm very concerned by the fact that speaker mike johnson is ceding the power of congress. our article one authority. if the president wants to look at the department of education and make reforms, there is a process by which we do that, and it has to include congressional oversight. but this tear everything down with no plan to rebuild it or how we're going to service the needs of 49 million children in this country is incredibly

dangerous. >> democrats, though, are in the minority. how do you plan to fight back against that? and your argument is, look, we're a co-equal branch of government. we have power under the constitution. what are you going to do? >> well, i think it's going to start with, as you said in your last segment, the courts with lawsuits being filed by individual members of congress, don't have standing to file lawsuits. but i think that outside groups will file lawsuits. if this were to happen, to show that this is illegal, uh, uh, organization, i mean, a department that was authorized by congress can only be dismantled by congress. and then we step in and conduct our oversight. we exercise our authority as members of congress. the best way i can do that is by showing up to work every day, by voting, by making procedural motions, using every legislative tool at our disposal. and then finally, i think that we have to educate the public as to what this really means. 7.5 million children receive special

education services if there states no longer receive federal funding from congress. it doesn't negate the law. those services still have to be provided. so districts are going to have to decide, do we cut these services or do we raise taxes? the department of education is in charge of civil rights protections of $1.6 trillion in student loans and the student loan program, so people really need to understand what is at risk if the department is dismantled. so our job is to educate the public and let them know the real world consequences of these actions. >> let's continue that part of the conversation on the department of education, because as you know, education assessments show that students are behind on key metrics like reading and math. and republicans might argue the department of education isn't putting its funds to good use to improve these scores, and it's better left to local officials. what do you say to that? >> i say that's a fair argument, but if you double down on that a little bit more,

you'll see that those scores are brought down by mostly red states where they are failing to invest in education. education is handled at the local level. curriculum and instruction and things like that are already handled at the local level. so that's where those decisions are made. curriculum decisions are made. but as a teacher, i can tell you that it's not just about what happens inside of that building. you have kids who show up, who are hungry, who are housing insecure, whose families don't have access to family medical leave and can't stay home with them when they are sick, who literally all of these outside forces. if we want to really have a conversation about getting the best outcomes for our children, then we need to look about all of the things, all of those variables that disrupt their learning. school shootings, things like that. so republicans have a fair argument to say that our students are not where they need to be. so let's have some congressional oversight and fix it, not tear

it down. >> if you think the trump administration, you know, is such a threat by tearing down, in your words, agencies like the department of education and the legislative branch isn't doing its job, why aren't democrats more unified in their messaging right now? >> well, i think that we are there are attacks coming from every direction. the chaos that is that this department is has caused to the american people every day. it's something else. and democrats have been clear that we will use every legislative tool at our disposal. i think that people really need to understand, like i said, what these things mean, because when we talk about agencies or republicans are picking out one little thing about the agency, or there was fraud here. so this agency should fall down. democrats don't disagree. let's look at it. let's streamline agencies. let's figure out where we can save money. but it doesn't happen by breaking everything apart with no plan and then

causing this chaos and fear amongst the american people. so people really need to understand what it means for elon musk to have access to their information from the treasury department, what it means for their children to lose title won services in low income school districts in all of those areas, really having a full appreciation for if these services and programs are cut, this is what it means to you and your family. >> and we should know the treasury system. a judge did shut down the access for now, at least for elon musk and his staffers to access that. of course, there is a fair question. is that happening? are they following that? but i want to follow up because, you know, democrats, as we pointed out, they don't have a lot of leverage points right now. and it seems as though one of the leverage points they're looking at is a potential government shutdown. you heard senator cory booker not ruling out using a government shutdown as a democratic strategy to push back against trump's agenda come march. so will you will you vote

to fund the government then? >> well, i don't generally operate in absolutes, but i will tell you that. so i'm not going to say i absolutely will not vote for that, but i'm not going to take a vote that's going to hurt hundreds of millions of people. the cuts that they're proposing, and i think that's our job as democrats over the next few weeks to let people really understand what all these, all these things mean. and i think it's really important to note they're talking about all of these cuts, but none of these conversations about are about returning that money to the american people or lowering the cost or improving the lives of american people. in fact, in the proposal that they have already rolled out, it includes additional tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. people really need to understand that. i mean, there's small provisions, like no tax on tips, but not closing any of these loopholes that provide that allow for some of the wealthiest americans to not pay any taxes, to have loopholes, to write off

business expenses. so if we really want to lower costs for the american people and return that money to them, that would be reflected in in their budget proposal. and it is not and i am not going to vote for anything that continues to harm the american people. >> all right. congresswoman jahana hayes, thank you very much for coming on the show. >> thank you for having me. >> coming up, the president is threatening to revoke security clearances for even more of his political opponents. we'll look at how he's trying to reshape the use of executive power in his second term. up next. >> lockerbie. sunday at nine on cnn. >> a sleep number bed is perfect for couples. the climate 360 smart bed is the only bed that cools and warms on each side, and all our smart beds adjust the firmness for each of you and now save 50% on the new sleep number. limited edition smart bed shop. a sleep number store near you. >> aveeno introduces new daily moisturizing cream. it's clinically proven to moisturize dry skin for 48 hours and

clearance for former president biden. over the weekend, he said his targets now include former secretary of state antony blinken, new york attorney general letitia james and alvin bragg, manhattan's district attorney, as well as one of my next guests. joining me now is mark zaid, who has been a target himself of president trump's retribution. he's also co-founder of the nonprofit legal organization whistleblower aid. also with us to help provide that historical perspective is julian zelizer. he is a cnn political analyst and historian at princeton university and author of the book in defense of partisanship. all right, mark, let's start with you, because trump says he is revoking your security clearance. i want to note your representing current and former federal employees in lawsuits against this administration. what is the direct impact of this? >> well good morning. so first, i have received no official notification from the u.s. government. all i know is what the new york post responded or reported based on some leak,

apparently, from the white house. but, you know, let's let's be clear. while i'm honored to be among the other individuals on that list, unlike all of them, i am not a democrat. i have never worked inside the federal government. i have never been in an elected or an appointed federal official, other than as an advisor on a national archives foia committee. i'm being retaliated against for being a lawyer, doing my job representing federal employees, and the harm that predominantly happens is actually not to me. it's to all those federal employees who now can't come to me, including and especially in the trump administration, who need a lawyer, of which there are very few of us who have access to classified information. so they're actually harming themselves more than they're harming me. >> but do you think the administration wants to cut down on whistleblowers? i mean, part

of why he's harming you is because you represented a whistleblower during his first. administration. >> yeah. no, absolutely. and in fact, that was in 2019 into 2020. after that case, i represented one of the highest level whistleblowers the country has ever seen. who was the acting undersecretary of intelligence at the department of homeland security and the trump administration, increased my access to higher level classified information. i went from a top secret clearance to what's called ssci sensitive compartmented information, which is the highest. it's not a clearance itself, but it's access to compartments. and that was the trump administration that did that. so what i have done since then and now i don't know, because they they identified, as you mentioned, in the at least leak to the new york post, that it was because i represented the whistleblower who ruined his perfect call, which of course i didn't. all i

did was make sure with my colleagues, in fact, to ensure that the whistleblower properly and lawfully was able to report what they learned so that it got to the proper oversight authorities, and then the rest of that, that was congress. that was politics. we had nothing to do with it. >> all right, julian, i want to bring you on this as we try to digest everything that's been happening over these last few weeks. what is the impact of trump targeting his enemies in this way? is there any historical precedent? excuse me for going after enemies in the way trump has been? >> well, on that first part, it's a mechanism of intimidation. i think some of this targets particular individuals, but part of it is also just to create a broader climate where people are leery and scared to oppose the president, to criticize the president, or even to offer legal counsel to people who might not be favorable to the president. and i think so far he

is creating that culture. and that's a dangerous culture. and on the second part, there are precedents where we have been through this. it's not great comparisons, but certainly if you look back at the nixon years, richard nixon was president from 1969 until 74. there was also a culture of intimidation that was nurtured by the white house to intimidate opponents. i think this is more public today. i think it also is taking place in a social media ecosystem that's more dangerous because it's less controlled. but that's where we are. >> and of course, recourse for for some of these people who could be impacted by this is going. filing a lawsuit, going to a judge and the court battles. they are they are brewing right now. and then you had the vice president, jd vance, blasting some of the court decisions against the trump administration, saying judges aren't allowed to control the executive. legitimate power. is there any veracity to vance's claims here?

julian? >> well, no. the point of the court is to test whether a president has legitimate power. if the court decides that they don't, the president can't exercise that power. that's the system we designed, and that's the system we live with. so i'm not really sure about why he wants to argue this, other than to discredit and again, to intimidate. and probably many federal judges are feeling that way. but that is the point of the separation of powers. >> to bring you back in. mark, you know, there is a fair question to ask, given that tweet, could trump and the white house just start ignoring court rulings they don't like? what then? mark well, it is a serious concern and one that is on many of our minds. >> and it is reminiscent of president trump's favorite president, andrew jackson, who said something to the effect of to the supreme court. yeah. you and what army are going to enforce the decision? uh, it

will throw us further into a constitutional crisis, obviously. and it looks like that's where they're trying to pull us to determine the extent to which the executive branch is effectively a king. i think as that happens, i think what actually is going to be somewhat positive is i think you're going to see a lot of people who were his supporters sort of rise up and stand tall, including those and especially those in the judiciary. so far, we've already seen trump appointed judges rule against him. so it's a matter of time, i think, before this administration just decides to disregard a court order. >> all right. well, we'll see how everything plays out. mark zaid, julian zelizer, thank you so much. and we'll be right back. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you saturday at 9:00 on cnn. >> consumer cellular ranked number one in network coverage

called a, quote, insider threat. tell me more about that. >> yeah. >> so this was. >> a sort of internal analysis by analysts who have been were hired by the treasury, who suggested that doge members, if they were to return to treasury, obviously, this was sort of in the interim where it appeared that the doge member, who was apparently accessing the data in the treasury system, had been had resigned, um, that the recommendation was that doge members be treated like insider threats and put under monitoring because of their access to sensitive data. and, um, you know, the possible harm from that. >> so, you know, a judge ruled over the weekend that they can no longer access that treasury system. do we know if they're abiding by that? >> we don't right now. um, you know, i think the the sort of

statements made by vice president vance and musk over the weekend sort of indicating that they don't agree with that ruling, um, indicates that they may try to fight it. um, and, you know, while we have not yet seen evidence about whether or not they are complying with it, you know, musk has a history of sort of acting and apologizing later. um, in some of his, his private endeavors, for instance, you know, um, not paying rents on twitter's offices, which is a contractual obligation and things like that. um, once he took over the company. so, you know, i think, um, i think we could likely see, uh, we could likely see a contestation around that. >> we shall see on that front. so you've also got some reporting on how the members of this team were recruited, including some connections to one of silicon valley's biggest names, peter thiel. what did you find? >> yeah. so what we found was

that in the months of the transition period. so like between november and january, um, members of the doge team were actively recruiting within these networks, you know, discord groups, linkedin groups, you know, the ways that people who work at companies generally chat with each other or keep in touch and what what we have come to sort of find is that like, it's these sort of trusted networks that they were really relying on to pull in people who, um, you know, might have the skills they were looking for and might share a similar value alignment with with what doge is trying to do. >> so what do your sources tell you about what musk's next targets could be? a lot of us are finding out about this through reporters like you, because there hasn't been a lot of transparency from this administration. what are you hearing?

>> well, i think, you know, there's a hyper focus on systems that deal with either payments or personnel or, you know, the general i.t. structure. and so my colleague mckenna has obviously done some really fabulous reporting on, um, you know, the way this is playing out at gsa, which oversees the i.t. infrastructure of the government. and, you know, there's obviously been a lot of reporting around, um, the consumer financial protection bureau and treasury. you know, it does really seem like they're looking at agencies that have control over payments and infrastructure for a lot of the government. and i think, you know, it has seemed like the the goal of doge is really to go agency by agency. but i think the places that we're going to see, probably the most emphasis are in these ones that have greater control over larger systems of the government as a whole. >> just really quickly, though, i mean, he he has some contracts

with some of these agencies that he's now accessing the data too. right. like dhs. >> yeah. so so i think it's really important to understand that, like musk as well as peter thiel and many, many of the people in the silicon valley are fundamentally, you know, government contractors. you know, spacex has billions of dollars of contracts with the government. um, palantir, of which peter thiel is chairman. they have billions of dollars of contracts with, um, with the dod. you know, we're we, um, and i'm sorry, i should i, i don't actually know the exact amount, but certainly large contracts with the dod, and they've had them for many years. um, and so i think the reality here is that, you know, we're looking at people who have a vested interest within their own companies of getting contracts with the government, of making money through deals with the government, and now have access to sensitive government data. and, you know, not that, you

know, we know exactly what they're looking at because there hasn't been a lot of transparency. but that opens questions about whether or not they're able to see sensitive data from their competitors for similar contracts, whether or not they're able to see sensitive information around individuals or companies that they might consider, um, threats to their business. >> all right, victoria elliott, thank you so much. coming up, a big change to how medical research is funded. that's next. >> i told you i don't need these anymore. i have sling. okay. >> good. >> i only left sling, deliver the news. i need to stay informed. thank you very much. nice one. >> nope. >> sling gives. >> us all the. >> news we want in a quick and reliable manner. >> and at a wonderful price. >> this critical time calls for the critical news coverage that sling provides. >> okay, see you tomorrow. >> the most important news at the best price. sling lets you do that.

practices that we have developed. >> so what is the direct impact of this nih funding on people. and could you do your work without it? >> well, we believe that it's vital for children with language disorders to receive interventions that have proven. effectiveness. so children and families have enrolled in the study. they've put our trust in us. they want the best for their their kids, and we want to rigorously compare different kinds of intervention procedures so that children can have the best possible intervention outcomes when they get treatment from speech, language pathologists so is there a way to get this funding elsewhere if you lose some of the funding for this research due to the steps

that have been taken by the trump administration? well, that would be really difficult. i mean, there's funding other funding agencies, such as the institute for educational science and the u.s. department of education. there are some private agencies that that fund this kind of research. but by and large, the national institute on deafness and other communication disorders is the institute that provides the the largest amount of funding for the kind of studies that we conduct. >> all right. doctor ron gillum, thank you for coming on and helping us better understand. i didn't mean to cut you off. >> oh, that's i was just going to say we're always going to do what's right. we're going to do our best no matter what happens, to finish out the studies that we've started, we made a commitment to parents and kids to, um, let them receive what we believe is a really
