12:02 pm
white house and congressional republicans move swiftly to implement the president's agenda. so what sort of tone might we see in tuesday's speech? >> well, i think whirlwind is absolutely the right adjective, fredricka, as we prepare for the speech, we'll be watching his tone and tenor quite closely. but as you mentioned, the first six weeks of president trump's term, we have seen him expand and reimagine the use of executive authority. we have seen him transform the size and scope of the federal government, and we have seen him change the role of the u.s. in the world, as well as his approach to key alliances. but so far, we are starting to see how americans are viewing those changes he is making to the federal government in his new role as a second term, according to a brand new cnn polling out just a few hours ago, a narrow majority of americans disapprove of how trump is handling his job as president so far in his second
12:03 pm
term, 48% approve of trump, while 52% disapprove of the president. and we've learned that a majority of americans, according to that same cnn poll, say he does not have the right priorities. 40% say yes, he does have the right priorities, while 52% say he does not. now, we do expect the president to highlight some of his accomplishments. the white house very confident with what he has gotten done so far, executive actions on things like ending diversity, equity and inclusion programs, his efforts on women's sports, as well as trade deals, and building out his cabinet. some of those top officials taking their oaths of office so far. but jason miller, a top outside adviser to the president, offered this preview on what to expect on tuesday. >> we have to tackle inflation. joe biden left us in a really bad spot, but by getting energy prices down and then also making sure that we stop this wasteful spending, that's going to be a big component. getting this one big, beautiful tax bill done
12:04 pm
that the house has already made some great steps. we need more money for the border to keep it permanently secure. and then here's the key thing. and you also touched on this, making sure that we continue to bring peace and stability around the world. but we have to do it with respect and strength. those are the two keys that president trump is going to go into. >> now. miller also suggested that the president would talk about artificial intelligence, the prospect of sending americans to mars, as well as energy issues. but all of this comes, of course, fredricka, after that explosive oval office meeting between president trump and president zelenskyy of ukraine that took such a an extreme turn, about 40 minutes in. this, as our colleague matthew chance reports from moscow that plans for top trump officials to meet with their russian counterparts a second time are in progress. >> all right, betsy klein, thank you so much. all right. joining me right now is democratic congresswoman and former dnc
12:05 pm
chairwoman debbie wasserman schultz of florida and democratic congressman brendan boyle of pennsylvania. good to see both of you. you both have been very outspoken about ongoing efforts by doge. we'll get to that specifically in a moment. so kind of roll with me, because we got a lot of things to kind of cover. you know, today so much has happened. so for one, the president is, you know, invited to address joint members of congress by focusing on his america first agenda. congressman boyle, you know, how are democrats preparing to respond? aside from representative elissa slotkin, who is delivering the formal democrats response? >> well, as always, we will be respectful of the presidency, even if we strongly disagree with the person who currently occupies it. i will be there, as will my my colleague debbie and and all my other democratic colleagues, i believe, to best represent the folks who elected us. um, i have always said that for myself. i'm willing to work with this administration in
12:06 pm
areas where we can agree, but i'm also bluntly honest that in most areas we will not be able to reach agreement. the reality is, what we saw in the oval office on friday was truly a humiliating moment for all americans. never thought i would see anything like it. and those sorts of things actually only makes it more difficult to deal with this white house. >> and i wonder, congresswoman, you know, nancy pelosi is recommending to democrats at this joint address to congress to essentially have a poker face. you know, if you're thinking, thinking, thinking something or even refraining from, you know, facial expressions or overt, uh, expressions that might eventually be used against you. is that, um, something that most democrats are going to be able to adhere to? >> well, i. >> mean, as someone who, uh, normally in my life has a difficult time keeping my emotions off my facial expression. um, i'm not sure i
12:07 pm
can commit to that. but what i can tell you is that, uh, along with making sure that we can really unite as a caucus with a strong visual message of unity, we're also each bringing a guest to the joint address mine. that that that represents some of the worst impacts of the outrageous decisions that are coming out of this white house, including the devastating cuts to and firings, uh, the targeting of medicaid, the cutting of veterans from not only the va, but from the entire federal government. and frederica, a third of our federal employees are veterans. if the doge bags that are working on slashing all those jobs are successful, they want to cut 75% of the federal workforce. that's 500,000 veterans. i'm bringing a veteran with me, a 30 year veteran who is also a social security employee, and they are
12:08 pm
talking about cutting social security employees in half. there are already 2 to 4 hour wait times on the call line for social security to respond to social security beneficiaries about their questions. and i can tell you disproportionately, my florida constituents, who we have the highest population of seniors in the highest percentage of seniors in the country, would be devastated by that. and there's no question that they will feel that in their cuts to their benefits. >> i mean, so far, more than 70,000 federal workers have lost their jobs. and doge says another 7000 more could be cut from social security. as you mentioned, possibly 6000 at the irs. house speaker johnson was asked this morning right here on cnn if he has met with elon musk about these cuts. and this is what he said. >> he's shown me many of the examples. >> of the outrageous abuses. >> and i'm telling you, dana, when the american people understand what has been
12:09 pm
happening with our taxpayer dollars, that congress has been unable to discern, even with our best oversight efforts, elon has been able to crack the code. he's inside the belly of the beast of the bureaucracy. >> so, congresswoman wasserman schultz, you know, you're on the oversight committee and reform committee. is it a case of congress not being able to see the waste to cut? but musk can see the waste, and how will he be? i guess, um, held to account to define what is waste. >> quite honestly, speaker johnson himself is utterly lacking in governmental experience. i mean, he's been speaker for about five minutes. and you know what's happening with elon musk and his his department of government inefficiency, his doge effort. um, he's rifling around in americans personal private data. he's rummaging around our personal private data in the irs and social security and medicare places that that are unlawful for him to be accessing that
12:10 pm
information. and they're preparing to weaponize it, particularly the irs information. and that is deeply concerning, because the law prohibits access to people's personal, private information, including their addresses and their their taxpayer identification numbers. we have to make sure that we protect people from the onslaught coming from doge, because they're going to use it against americans, and they're going to use it to create enough room by dramatic, unlawful cuts that are the responsibility of congress's decisions, decision making. and that's all in service of making enough room to give massive tax cuts to millionaires, billionaires and corporations. and by the way, they've done nothing to lower prices and make families lives affordable, more affordable, which is what the president committed to during his campaign. where is that? >> congressman boyle, you're on the budget committee. you know, will you and other members of congress demand more
12:11 pm
transparency and clarity on what doge considers bloat? or, in the words of the house speaker johnson, outrageous abuses. >> you know, i think we have to be careful not to get distracted by shiny objects. so what the elon musk led effort in this white house is attempting to do is to throw out a couple of anecdotes that may or may not have a basis in accuracy, um, to distract from the fact, just this past week, house republicans passed a budget that cuts $880 billion from medicaid, the largest cuts to medicaid in american history. why? also, they can pay for more tax cuts, 83% of which go to the richest 1% of americans. that's really what their agenda is about. so they will try to come up with all sorts of little shiny objects, to try to get people to be distracted from the trillions of dollars that are about to be
12:12 pm
taken away from programs that people have paid into, and that they need. >> okay. uh, congressman boyle, you mentioned at the very top it's hard to forget what happened in the oval office. and today, ukrainian president zelenskyy signed an agreed upon $2.8 billion loan from the uk, britain and france believe they can help craft a peace deal, that they will then propose to the u.s. all of this after that humiliating oval office debacle, and republican senator lisa murkowski described it this way in her tweet, saying this quote this week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that russia started the war in ukraine. it ends with a tense, shocking conversation in the oval office and whispers from the white house that they may try to end all u.s. support for ukraine. i know foreign policy is not for the faint of heart, but right now i am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing putin, a threat to democracy and u.s.
12:13 pm
values around the world. so i wonder if i can hear from both of you, if you believe this is the start of more republicans feeling inclined to criticize out loud president trump's handling of ukraine. >> well, you know, first i would like to associate myself with senator murkowski's remarks. i'm glad that she spoke out. uh, i'm not exactly going to hold my breath expecting more elected republicans in congress to stand up to this president. uh, you know, i happen to be a part of the bipartisan u.s. delegation to the nato parliament. i was there in brussels just two weeks ago, meeting with colleagues of mine who serve in their respective parliaments u.k., france, germany, et cetera. it was at that moment two weeks ago that donald trump issued his tweet or whatever social media platform he uses these days, when he called zelenskyy a dictator. he is doing permanent damage to the transatlantic alliance, something that was always a
12:14 pm
bipartisan achievement, whether it was presidents like harry truman or dwight eisenhower or ronald reagan, or all the way through to barack obama. donald trump is breaking that, and americans will be worse off for it. >> he's also becoming making america the lap dog of vladimir putin. the news just broke that the secretary of defense, pete hegseth, actually ordered the halting of offensive cyber operations against russia. uh, that is breathtaking, that we're no longer going to engage in in the kind of. espionage and and cyber operations so we can get a look into what putin is planning and treating him like the enemy and the terrorist that he is. it is. it is. there is a massive pattern going on here where the oval office debacle, this order from secretary hegseth and the idea that we were going to
12:15 pm
abandon. and now speaker johnson even suggested that perhaps zelenskyy should resign. there are democratic country. their voters decide on who is president, not the united states of america. and they certainly shouldn't be bowing and scraping to the united states. what they should what we should be doing, doing is treating them as the the important partner that they are so that we can make sure we protect and preserve democracy and maintain our commitment to our nato allies in europe, who, thankfully, are stepping up in the gaping hole that donald trump is leaving. >> all right. we'll leave it there. so great to have you both, congresswoman debbie wasserman schultz, congressman brendan boyle, appreciate it. thank you. >> thank you. thank you. >> coming up, more than 50 million people are at risk for severe weather as a powerful storm system barrels toward the east coast. plus new developments from london as ukrainian president zelenskyy gathers with european leaders at a summit for a plan to end the war with russia and israel, is

blocking humanitarian aid into gaza until hamas agrees to extend the ceasefire deal. >> when it comes to rooting out corruption, do the fbi's ends justify the means? >> it was humiliating. it's an embarrassment for the country. >> the united states of scandal with jake tapper next sunday at nine on c. >> introducing two new baja chipotle subs featuring our world famous baja chipotle sauce. listen, that's the baja chipotle talking. well, it's actually me talking, but you know what i mean. find your fresh with a new baja chipotle collection at subway. my hair was thinning. >> all around my hairline. >> my dermatologist recommended nutrafol. >> it's 100% drug free. >> and clinically tested. >> my hair. >> is longer, thicker. >> nutrafol is life. >> changing for me. >> get growing at nutrafol.com. >> i'm going to give you. >> this.

12:21 pm
today, ukrainian president zelenskyy gathered with european leaders at a summit in london to help craft a plan to end the war with russia. uk prime minister starmer telling his european counterparts today that the west is at a crossroads in history, end quote, and must act now to bring peace. this high stakes meeting comes just two days after zelenskyy had a tense visit with president trump at the white house. the heated exchange and trump's pivot towards russia have alarmed european leaders. those allies are now rallying around ukraine and offering more military aid. they are also now taking the lead at the negotiating table, but making it clear europe needs to support needs the support of the u.s. for any deal to go forward. >> the discussions we have had today, particularly the coalition of the willing, is on the basis that this is a plan that we will work with, with the u.s., and that it will have us
12:22 pm
backing. so that is the purpose of the plan, and that is why i spoke to president trump last night before we develop the work on this plan. >> we have a team of correspondents covering today's developments. nick paton walsh is in kyiv. and let's begin with nic robertson in london, where this key summit just wrapped up. nick, tell us more. >> yeah, i think look, we went into the weekend. everyone went into the weekend with this sense of of calamity, of crisis, of this fractious meeting with president zelenskyy and president trump in the oval office. i think where we're at on this sunday is a sort of an outgoing, a sort of letting out of the breath, if you will, a sort of an easing and a calming of what was in the air, the uncertainty that was in the air. the europeans have have, have laid out their position. it lacks a certain amount of detail. it lacks a certain amount of clarity. but there are some things about it that are very, very clear. you heard the british prime minister there talking about a coalition of the
12:23 pm
willing, those countries that are able and ready to support security guarantees going forward. he spoke a lot about the need to make sure that ukraine has the military and economic wherewithal to fight the war. today, that was a very core piece of the message, but i think this calming is that europe has a position. starmer, along with emmanuel macron, the french president, along with zelenskyy, will work together to get this concerted european plan and then bring it to the white house. there's a level of insulation for president zelenskyy. he's not going it alone. going into the white house alone, getting into a fractious circumstance. there will be a carefully brought together plan so that that outlet of breath, if you will, is we're getting that articulated. and keir starmer gave a few more details about it. here's what he said. >> not every nation will feel able to contribute, but that can't mean that we sit back.
12:24 pm
instead, those willing will intensify planning now with real urgency. the uk is prepared to back this with boots on the ground and planes in the air, together with others. europe must do the heavy lifting, but to support peace in our continent and to succeed, this effort must have strong us backing. >> so we heard as well from the nato secretary general saying absolutely around that table it heard commitments from other nations, european nations and others about contributions for security guarantees and also about stepping up their defense spending, all very important for the white house. and he gave a kind of interesting analysis here that i think is sort of very valuable at the moment. and it is part of that sort of here's where we're at picture. he said, look, the united states is saying we can't really talk about security guarantees until we get a peace deal. and mark rutte said, look, and the european position on this is
12:25 pm
sort of we're working in parallel, not against with in parallel. we're kind of getting ready with security guarantees for when that peace deal is there. so sort of two parallel approaches is how he described it. so i think there's this collective sense of we know where europe's at, and there'll be something coming forward to the u.s. on that soon. >> interesting. all right. nic robertson, thank you so much. nick paton walsh now in kyiv. uh, how are these developments being received there? >> i think this is about a sense of providing ukrainians a bit of rehabilitation, a little bit of comfort after the extraordinary scenes in the oval office, seeing volodymyr zelenskyy alongside king charles the third. certainly that puts him potentially in the same kind of company that donald trump was eagerly trying to accept during keir starmer's offering of a second state visit when he went to the white house on thursday. i think also that huge show of
12:26 pm
european leaders, few countries missing, but pretty much all of nato apart from the united states there in london. and i think also while keir starmer was was very light on the details of where they're going, it is clear that they want to try and pull together some kind of staged plan or procedure they can present to the united states, and probably don't want to put those details to public before they get the u.s. on board. also, starmer clear that he has spoken to trump twice since that flare up in the oval office, one on the day itself and one he said yesterday, saturday night, he said so a lot of back and forth with the white house to potentially be sure that they're fully informed of this european plan. it fits to some degree with the american desire to see europe do the heavy lifting, as starmer said. and we also just heard from the ukrainian presidency, a small detail which may potentially be part of this european thinking, saying that as a confidence building measure, the first thing potentially russia could do would be release prisoners of war and return many of the children who were forcibly
12:27 pm
deported from occupied areas and have been taken to other areas in russia that forms part of the international criminal court's war crimes complaint against vladimir putin and one other of his officials. so a potential indication, perhaps there, of what might be being mooted at this stage. but there's also on the downside, growing noise amongst trump's upper circle, the cabinet, other allies questioning zelenskyy's position, whether he is the guy to lead ukraine forward. we heard from scott bessent, the treasury secretary, that the rare earth minerals deal, which was at the heart of all of this, supposed to be the signing ceremony in the white house on friday that is now off the table, where it is no longer on the table. i should say, to quote him. exactly. and we also, of course, hearing suggestions that maybe zelenskyy isn't the guy to lead ukraine into this peace deal. i just have to tell you, the practical aspect of some kind of leadership change here in ukraine in wartime. absolutely impossible to imagine or conceive and would simply feed the russian narrative, false as it is, of the legitimacy of ukraine's
12:28 pm
president. so a very complex narrative being pushed by trump's cabinet, which will certainly discomfort many here, while at the same time seeing the show of european solidarity, breathing some element of relief. >> all right. nick paton walsh in kyiv, nic robertson in london, thanks to both of you. all right. israel today began blocking all humanitarian aid into gaza until hamas agrees to extend the phase one of the ceasefire deal. after that phase one expired yesterday. this was the scene earlier today at the rafah border crossing, where trucks carrying aid lined up on the egyptian side, blocked from entering gaza. israel's prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, backs a u.s. proposal to temporarily extend the ceasefire during the islamic holy month of ramadan and the jewish holiday of passover. hamas rejected that proposal, calling israel's blockade. i'm quoting now cheap blackmail and a war crime. egypt is criticizing israel for the blockade, warning of

12:34 pm
11 women, allegations he denies. cnn's gloria pazmino is following this for us, gloria. cuomo's campaign appearances are the first since yesterday's announcement. what kind of reception was he getting? >> well. >> fred, he. >> got. >> a very warm reception here today. we're standing outside of union headquarters for the carpenters local union here in new york city. and this is the first labor group that's coming out to endorse the former governor. they gathered here at their at their offices to not just launch his campaign, but to announce his their support for his candidacy. we saw cuomo basically come out and make what is going to likely be his stump speech for the next four months as he embarks on this attempt at making a political comeback and pitching himself as the next governor of new york city. he's running against the incumbent mayor, eric adams, and making the case that it is time for him to come back. now, as you mentioned, he has weathered
12:35 pm
significant scandal while in office. sexual harassment allegations, including from two former aides. there was the the the scandal that resulted from his handling of the pandemic and his decision regarding nursing home residents. so all of that is going to be dredged up. and we saw that today. there's some of his opponents who were ready to do that. first, i want you to hear directly from the former governor, because he is pitching himself as a leader with experience and the managerial skills required to run the city in this time. and he spent a lot of time talking about quality of life issues, the public and public safety. take a listen. >> we need more. >> police in our subways, more police in our high crime areas, more police to stop the number of. >> recidivists because. nothing works if people don't. >> feel safe and public safety is still job one.
12:36 pm
>> so public safety is going to be a central message that cuomo is going to be running on. you'll remember that it's the current mayor, eric adams, who ran on a very similar message. there were people here to support cuomo, especially those union members who said that it's important to them that he has been a union supporter in the past. but there are also people here who are going to oppose his campaign, namely some women who said that they are not willing to support cuomo and that they have not forgotten his record. and what happened while he was in office. >> we remember andrew cuomo's records and we refuse to accept his rewriting of history. we refuse to accept this collective amnesia of the political class, and we are here to say hell no to andrew cuomo. a lot of the crisis that we are facing is a crisis that he helped create. and in his video yesterday, he talked about this crisis as if
12:37 pm
he had had no hand in it. he maybe wants to rewrite history. i'm sure he needs it for himself, for his own soul. but we are not stupid. we remember. >> this, so we'll see what happens over the next several months. fred. there is a few months until the june primary here in new york city. that is essentially the election, because the democratic enrollment here in the city is so overwhelming. the general election is in november, and we'll see just how he makes the case this time. to new yorkers that not only should they bring him back into office, but that he is the right person to lead the city at this time. and we'll see just how the current mayor, eric adams, responds to that challenge. fred. >> all right. gloria pazmino, thanks so much. and this reminder to catch one of the smartest takes on the news of the week, served with a side of humor. congresswoman jasmine crockett and comedian dave foley joined roy wood jr., amber ruffin and michael ian black on a new episode of have i got news

it's known, stuck the landing and did not tip over. engineers credit it's short and squatty design, and it's already sending back data. they plan to spend the next two weeks testing the lander's gps capabilities, gather samples and capturing high definition video of a phenomenon known as a lunar horizon glow. last seen by astronauts on apollo 15 and 17. the road to the oscars ends tonight, and the question of who will walk away with the top honors is a bit tricky this year. will tonight's big winner be a or conclave? or could wicked pull off an upset and take home best picture? timothee chalamet and adrien brody are the favorites in the best actor category. or will demi moore finally win her first oscar? lots of questions. cnn entertainment correspondent elizabeth wagmeister is live on the red carpet. glad to see that

12:46 pm
nominees. >> kramer also insists the oscars shouldn't get political. is that something that throughout the night, you want to steer clear of? >> absolutely. we do talk to them about keeping things focused on the work, but this is really a moment for the artist to to have for themselves. >> the day of our interview, kramer made a wickedly big announcement. >> we have incredible performances lined up. doja cat, litsa rae cynthia erivo arianna grande, queen latifah, oscar nominee. >> those superstars will replace the tradition of best original songs performed on stage. those nominees will be celebrated in a pre-produced segment. there's so many categories that are televised. is that something that needs to be addressed? >> last year we had all of the awards on the show and we came in under time. we were under three hours and 30 minutes. it's possible to do this in a way that's entertaining.
