>> breaking news from the sauce tonight as president trump is suspending all military aid to ukraine, effective immediately. what the president wants from zelenskyy after that historic clash in the oval office. also, shockwaves are being felt on wall street as trump's new tariffs on mexico, canada and china are set to take effect tonight at midnight. american businesses will feel the squeeze, and american consumers might pay the price. also tonight, trump is signaling it will be no holds barred when he addresses congress tomorrow night at prime time. some democrats are planning to boycott. i'll ask rep ilhan omar what she plans to do. i'm kaitlan collins, and this is the source. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> we do start with that breaking news here in washington. as cnn has now confirmed, the u.s. is pausing all military aid to ukraine. without a doubt, the biggest aftershock yet from that oval office blowup between president

trump and ukrainian president zelenskyy last friday. a white house official tells cnn tonight that the aid to ukraine is being reviewed to make sure it is contributing to a solution. that is what we were told by an official tonight, confirming this pause. this aid, including anti-tank weapons, artillery rounds, rockets. it's been critical in ukraine's fight to keep its sovereign territory out of putin's grip. i'm told this decision was made late today, and it comes as u.s. officials are looking for an acknowledgment from president zelenskyy about the breakdown in relations, to say the least, following that blowup in the oval office on friday, potentially an acknowledgment in the form of a public apology from the ukrainian leader that likely has to happen before this pause is lifted, and also before we could see any movement on the minerals deal that went unsigned after friday's fight. but the aftershocks might not stop when it comes to aid to ukraine or to this minerals deal. we are learning tonight that the white house is also considering

pausing other indirect support, including potentially cutting back on intelligence sharing with kyiv. now, president trump and his advisers, many of the ones that you saw there in the oval office with him on friday, have continued to see the zelenskyy, zelenskyy and trump himself. today sounded quite annoyed when he was speaking and taking questions from the reporters about that blunt warning that we heard from zelenskyy earlier today that the end of this war, as zelenskyy put it, could, quote, still be very, very far away. >> he said he thinks the war is going to go on for a long time. uh, and he better not be right about that. it should not be that hard a deal to make. it could be made very fast now. maybe somebody doesn't want to make a deal. and if somebody doesn't want to make a deal, i think that person won't be around very long. that person will not be listened to very long, because i believe that russia wants to make a deal. i believe certainly the people of ukraine want to make a deal.

>> it's pretty clear who he was referencing there. i should note zelenskyy did also say today that he wants to pursue all potential avenues. and he added that, quote, peace is needed as soon as possible. now that comes after a number of western allies rallied around him this weekend, including king charles the third. but for any help from the united states going forward, you saw all the european leaders there. trump's team has continued to throw the ball back into zelenskyy's court. >> what we don't have right now is president zelenskyy saying, i am ready to take the steps necessary and have the conversations necessary, and make the compromises necessary to end the fighting or go to a ceasefire. what we need to hear from president zelenskyy is that he has regret for what happened. he is ready to sign this deal and that he is ready to engage in peace talks. >> that is the minerals deal that went unsigned on friday after zelenskyy was kicked out of the white house. and it could have new life, though, because

hours before we learned tonight that trump was pausing this aid, the president himself said that he did remain hopeful about the minerals deal and about getting it done. we also know there is an effort happening outside the white house between washington and kyiv to fix that. republican congressman brian fitzpatrick wrote today that he had spoken with zelenskyy's top aide, and that the train will. he said 100% get back on the tracks and that the deal will be signed in short order. trump today teased an official update could potentially come exactly 24 hours from now during his address to congress tomorrow night. my first source to start us off tonight on this breaking news is maggie haberman, the new york times senior political correspondent and a cnn political analyst. and, maggie, it's great to have you. what have you learned about how trump and his national security officials came to this decision? they've been talking about it, but but it wasn't until later this afternoon because trump said today that that he had not personally been involved in this. and now this decision has been made.

>> caitlin. >> my understanding is. >> this was a pretty quick decision. this is where. >> they were. >> headed over. >> the weekend. >> you know, we all. >> saw what happened. you were there on friday. there has been lots of blame. >> being. >> issued by the. >> white house. >> toward president zelenskyy. >> for. >> what took place. >> and, you. >> know. >> trump was. >> pretty declarative about it on friday in the oval office. >> which. >> is you don't have any cards to zelenskyy. that's half true. that's half not true. there are europeans. who could step up. obviously, that's not the only thing that zelenskyy wants, but this is what trump has wanted for a while. he thinks that it doesn't hurt him with his base. i will say, caitlin, it is true that support for the effort in ukraine has dwindled since this first began in 2022. at the same time, support for russia and support for putin is not high. and so trump is is testing the bounds of how far he can go with this. you know, we know that he has long questioned aid to ukraine. he has not, you know, treated ukraine as a necessary ally in europe. he has not you know, he has seen this all as if

it is a financial prospect, and he has seen it all through economic lenses. and he has asked virtually no concessions from putin, while asking many from zelenskyy. so whether this actually changes anything remains to be seen. but this is where this was always headed, in the form of, as you say, a pause, not completely ending everything, especially since it's been congressionally approved. but it's it's what trump can do in his power. >> and what was your sense of how how white house officials felt after that blowup on friday? because we've seen a lot of republicans defend what happened. and, you know, back trump up in that matter. yes, there have been a few senate republicans who have questioned it or lightly criticized it, but a lot of it has been support from within his own party on that matter. >> so i think a couple of things, caitlin, within the white house, there was pretty unanimous anger at the ukrainians. there is a lot of frustration, not just with zelenskyy, but with people around zelenskyy. and to be clear, i'm not saying that's a valid view or that, you know, everything that led up to that,

that the trump folks are right. you know, they have a perspective. the ukrainians also have a perspective. but that is how the white house is seeing it. and there's a lot of tension between zelenskyy and jd vance, in particular, because jd vance has been a skeptic of support for ukraine for some time, has been critical of zelenskyy. zelenskyy has been critical back. and i think that's part of what you saw there. white house officials have been very frustrated over the course of the last couple of weeks as this ukraine minerals deal came together. the ukrainians say, you know, that they were presented with a deal at the outset that was, you know, not realistic for them, in which they got almost nothing and they had to, you know, split massively their natural resources to, as the trump white house was saying, pay back past aid. and so i think you're going to see trump try to condition other agreements that way. they don't do anything wrong. republicans outside the white house, caitlin, if you talk to them privately, many of them are very upset with what trump did, even if they criticize zelenskyy, which most of them do, they're still not happy with how that video looked. at the

end of the day. >> in terms of what trump wants from zelenskyy now, is it clear to you what that looks like? is is it i mean, rubio, on this program friday night called for him to apologize. i mean, does he want just a direct apology from him? >> look, trump, as you know, treats everything like it's an ongoing negotiation. and he will get something that he can say is an apology and call it a win. but they are they are backing both zelenskyy and themselves into something of a corner where it's going to be really hard to move forward unless there is something where zelenskyy, you know, says something about being wrong or, you know, acting in haste or something like that publicly, we will see what that looks like. but i do believe that trump does want something that he can say is a peace deal, whether that is exactly what zelenskyy wants it to be, i think is a pretty big question. >> maggie haberman. thank you for joining us on this breaking news. also here joining us is a military source, retired air force colonel cedric leighton. can you just talk us through

what this looks like in terms of, you know, millions, hundreds of millions of dollars of aid that's going to ukraine in terms of this, how long before they start to feel a pause? and we don't know how long it's going to last. could be a day. could be forever, right? how long before they feel this on the battlefield. >> so this. >> this gets to be really interesting, caitlin, because there's several different forms of military aid and several different paths that the aid actually takes to get to ukraine. so what you have is things like 155mm ammunition, for example, going into ukraine. and that will go through several different places. in many cases, the aid that has been actually earmarked for ukraine is actually aid that was approved under the biden administration. so that's somewhere around 66, a little less than $66 billion worth of aid. a lot of that aid that was approved in the last weeks of the biden administration is still in the pipeline. so basically, what president trump is doing is he is stopping the aid that had been approved by president

biden. no new aid, as far as we know, has been approved by president trump at this point to go to ukraine. so, in essence, what the administration is doing is they're stopping the biden administration's promises to ukraine. this also impacts aid that could arrive even years from now. is there certain things that the ukrainians have have contracted with defense contractors here in the united states? those things, those products, you know, could be anything from aircraft to munitions. some of them take years to get to the front. and in that particular case, you are looking at basically cascading effects that could have a major impact on the ability of the ukrainians to conduct the war. >> yeah, absolutely. colonel, thank you for laying that out for us. also tonight. my political sources are here. van jones is a former obama administration official. alyssa farah griffin is a former white house communications director in the trump administration, also worked at the pentagon. alyssa, just tell me your first reaction to to learning that trump is

taking this step tonight, which we know they have been meeting behind closed doors about tonight. as maggie noted, they've been talking about it over the weekend. are you surprised that trump has taken this move? >> it was only a matter of time, caitlin. and keep in mind, donald trump did talk about ending aid to ukraine on the campaign trail. jd vance infamously said, i don't really care what happens to ukraine, but i think this has obviously sparked by this blow up in the oval office, which was unlike anything i think any of us had seen. but here's what i'd say. listen, sentiment has changed around the ukraine war as it's dragged on. it is a legitimate point for donald trump to say, listen, we should be focusing resources on the cost of living and at home. but that's not what he is arguing. he is saying ukraine's provoking world war iii. zelenskyy is a dictator. they started this invasion. he campaigned for kamala harris. this just. sounds of disinformation and wrong information around this whole discourse that i think is drastically misleading the public. listen, 62% of americans still, to some degree, support

aiding ukraine. and i think there's going to ultimately be blowback if this is a long held delaying of aid to a critical ally that is fighting our enemy on their soil. >> well, and van for for, you know, to that point about what republicans are saying privately versus publicly, there is one republican senator tonight already who's who's criticizing this. senator susan collins said, i do not think we should be pausing our efforts, and i am not backing off my support for ukraine. i remain convinced that it is not only in ukraine's interest, but our interest to back ukraine, because putin is not going to stop there. what do you make of the republican reaction that we have seen so far to that blow up on friday, but also to to this move tonight? >> well. >> you know, it hasn't been. exactly a profile in courage. but, you know, i think i feel kind of sad, you know, tonight because, you know, trump might win this battle of, you know, humiliating. >> zelenskyy and forcing him to apologize somehow. >> but we're losing a bigger war, which is can you trust

america if you're if you're a european country, can you trust america if you're a trading partner in canada or mexico, can you trust america? if you're if you're an african mom with a sick baby that needs a, needs a shot, needs a little bit of food, can you trust america to deliver on these kind of promises? and if you can't, then who are you supposed to trust? do you turn to china? do you turn to i.s.i.s.? do you turn to russia or iran? can you trust america? that's not been a question anywhere in the world in our entire lifetime. and so, yeah, you know, trump might get zelenskyy to bow down and kiss the ring. i think zelenskyy loves his country enough. he'll probably do whatever he needs to do. but but we're losing something tonight. we're losing something. and i think it's a very sad night for america. i think it's very it's a sad night for the world. and, you know, donald trump is a strong leader and we need his strength to be on the side of the weak. we need strength to be on the side of the forgotten people around the world who are hungry tonight, people who are afraid of being bombed by russia

tonight. we need his strength on the side of the weak. not crushing the weak, but lifting the weak up. i've seen him do it, but he's not doing it now. and i think it's a sad night for for the world. >> alyssa here on friday we we talked to secretary rubio who took a different position than what van is articulating there. obviously he's the secretary of state, but but quite a forceful response to this and defense of how the administration is handling this. here's what he told me. >> we're three years into a war. >> that has. no end in. >> sight and no exit strategy. the eu. doesn't have an exit strategy. i saw the comments tonight from the leader of the eu saying they need a new leader of the free world. i mean, these people are just playing silly games and saying these things. what is their exit strategy? what is anybody else's exit strategy? the only person on the planet who is actively trying to bring an end to this conflict is named donald trump, the president of the united states. >> i think european leaders might disagree with that. we've seen, you know, the british prime minister. but yeah, alyssa, what are your thoughts?

>> well, caitlin, it just seems to date the pressure has been from the united states almost purely on zelenskyy to come to the table. you don't hear putin needs to come to the table. of course, there have been staff level, secretary rubio and lavrov having conversations. but why? why the pressure completely one sided on ukraine here. and i would note this because this started with, yes, we're going to pause aid to ukraine. i would not rule out in this moment that donald trump might be reconsidering our long term membership in nato. and i would remind you that it was secretary rubio who actually authored legislation that would require an act of congress for the u.s. to withdraw from nato. this is somebody who, to his core, does understand our alliances. he understands our interest in opposing russia in that region. he understands we have 20,000 u.s. troops in poland. if this war expands beyond ukraine, it is our war as well. so it's disheartening to see that he's placing all the responsibility at the feet of zelenskyy. >> yeah, it's a good point about that legislation that i believe was passed when biden was in office. but saying, yes, it

would, they would have to go to congress. but before that could happen, van, why do you, from just your perspective in terms of the pressure has been singularly on on ukraine and the argument that the white house has made about why they're not calling out putin every single day and saying he's a killer and a dictator, is that that's not effective when it comes to negotiating. but but we do see a lot of criticism that they are happy to level zelenskyy's direction. >> yeah. it's, um, it's not, uh, the right way to go in that putin respects strength, not weakness. uh, putin respects people who are strong. uh, it's easy to punch down on ukraine. it's easy to punch down on panama. it's easy to punch down on greenland. it's easy to punch down on google maps. i mean, you don't need a strong leader to beat those folks up. you need a strong leader to stand up to vladimir putin, you know, strong leader, stand up to china, to iran, to north korea, to the people who are real threats. we've got a strong leader who's just slap it around all the little people. it's the

weirdest thing i've ever seen. and then people go, well, this guy is a strong leader. well, why don't you prove it and go after somebody strong? because right now you're just beating the crap out of little people. i just don't i don't i don't understand it. it doesn't make any sense. everybody knows vladimir putin is going to take everything he can get off the table and give nothing unless somebody stands up to him. and trump started off standing up to him, said he was going to put sanctions on him. i haven't heard that for a while. haven't heard much about the price of eggs either. >> van jones alyssa farah griffin. thank you both for starting us off. we have more on this breaking news ahead. we're going to get reaction from lawmakers. first off, a republican in congress. later we'll talk to a democrat. how do they plan to counter trump's congressional address tomorrow. there's a guest list that includes federal workers that he just fired from their jobs. >> twitter. that's a great name. >> we invented a. >> whole. new thing. >> no one could possibly have understood where it was going. >> twitter. breaking the bird.

spent because it's what congress appropriated. >> right, right. but we've appropriated more than $100 billion. and over the course of the entirety of the last three years, and significantly more than $100 billion. so if he's only got 100 billion, where's the rest? but the point is, we ought to know. we ought to know where all those dollars are going. we ought to know whether it's being spent effectively, and we ought to know whether there's any chance of success. and look, i think the president is right. he said there's three doors here. either you're going to lose or we're going to be drawn into war, or we need a ceasefire. and the president is right to choose a ceasefire. >> but we know where it's going because one, they track it. and two, when he was when zelenskyy was saying, where's all this money coming from? he was saying that a lot of that is not coming to them just in suitcases of cash. it's coming in. as you know very well, because a lot of this is made in your your home state. it's coming in equipment from the united states. >> sure. but but again, we still. don't have a full accounting of how it's being used. exactly. >> we don't. that's not why this is being paused. we talk about why this is being paused tonight. because if there was a concern about what was being sent and what was appropriated or in the drawdown, this is coming after because of friday's fight in the oval office, do you think it's a

negotiating tactic, a pressure tactic on ukraine? >> well, like i said, i think it could have and maybe should have been done irrespective of what happened friday. um, because again, where are we taking this? the president wants a ceasefire. he's been very clear about that. he campaigned on that. he talked about that. he wants peace. and so right now you're saying have a ceasefire. and the president was serious about saying we can sit down, sit down with russia and try to figure out where the lines will be drawn, figure out crimea, figure out donbas. but at the end of the day, we've got to actually know what the path to success is. ukrainians are dying by the tens of thousands. our money is being used to fuel that war and continue a war that i'd like to know. where does that lead us? where? how do we get to success here? >> blame for that war? >> i mean, look, the war started under joe biden's watch. he destroyed our energy policies. he empowered russia. he he was siding with iran and china, which was also helping russia. all of that stuff. >> biden for the war. >> this all started under joe biden. >> but who started the war? >> well, but my point is that. but that war wouldn't have

started if donald trump is in the white house, if we have a strong hand in the white house. joe. vladimir putin does not. putin does not go into ukraine. that's just the truth. we had a weak hand in the white house. joe biden let it happen. that destroyed our energy. >> policy analysis, in your view. but you don't know that for sure. and secondly. >> all i know is there weren't a lot of wars getting started under president trump. but in his four years, what war started under president trump? >> my point of the answer to that question was that putin started this war and russia started this war. do you disagree with that? >> well, putin obviously invaded ukraine, but the reason that happened was because of weakness from the united states, like our foreign policy matters. when we absolutely give away the field on energy, when we make bad decisions in terms of who we're siding with around the globe, and we strengthen the hand of putin, then he walks into ukraine. then we throw money at zelenskyy and say, okay, here you can have all the resources you need to keep funding a war, which, you know, where was europe in a lot of that? yes, i know they contributed some, but we were funding the lion's share of that. and then you wonder,

why is this getting perpetuated when ukrainians are dying and now they can't even recruit enough people to fight the war. >> but okay, i'm not going to argue this point, but it is well known that putin has long believed that ukraine is part of russia. he does not think ukraine is a sovereign nation. he thinks it belongs to them. that was his position long before joe biden took office and ststarted amassing. >> and for the four years of president trump, he didn't go into ukraine, did he? and look, again, your policy. >> didn't give crimea back, did he? >> well, but you could you wonder whether or not you're going to have a. >> did he give crimea. he didn't he didn't give back the other land that he had taken illegally when obama was in office. >> but. well, that raises the issues under obama. the point is, when you have weakness in the united states, you have weakness in the white house, then you're going to have people around the globe who act, and people are saying, well, he loves to side with putin. no, president trump wants to make sure we have a strong america that is siding on the side of righteousness. but to deliver results, if you have a cease fire here where we can get to the table instead of having ukrainians getting killed because we're fueling a war that

zelenskyy nor your europe leader, european leaders have ever given us a path to success. the president is leading us down the path of peace. >> yeah, well we'll see. but zelenskyy's point, the oval office on friday was putin has violated dozens of ceasefire agreements before. if they didn't have enough enforcement, that was his point. but let me ask you on this. just because i do want to get to this. we had speaker mike johnson on last week, and he was saying that he does believe eventually what congress is going to do in two weeks to keep the government funded is to do a clean cr. are you going to vote for that? >> well, we'll see. first of all, whether something is actually a clean cr or not, but i have put out my support to say that i believe that a freeze in spending, which is what a actually clean cr. let's be very clear. in dc parlance, they're not always that clean, but in actually clean cr that continues funding at current levels, which would freeze spending. give ellen doge the white house omb room to go do what they're doing to find ways to fraud and abuse, identify the cuts that need to be put in place. i'm 100% in favor of going down that road, and then we have a full debate about fy 26, remember? >> okay, so you're fine with it.

not having the doge anomalies, the cutouts for what. >> doge some anomalies in there for defense because i think i think pete. >> said usaid and all these other programs that. >> i think right now. >> without voting for. >> that, i think the is clear that the president right now has every intention to go find those cuts that we need to put in place. the executive branch is already, you know, halting a lot of that funding, identified those cuts for fy 26. but right now, i think we're in a better place if we freeze spending and give him the power to do that. i think that's the strongest negotiating position for the president. democrats are urging for a shutdown. they have all but said so. they would love to shut down. ellen, i think we ought to empower the white house and the president, empower ellen to go find those cuts and put those in place in fy 26. >> okay. it's notable to hear you say that. congressman chip roy, as always, thank you for your time tonight. >> thanks, kayla. >> great to have you. up next we come back. president trump is preparing that address to congress tomorrow night. our white house insiders are here to talk about what's at stake. also, we have new reporting on one of trump's special guests who will be there tomorrow

vance for the first time since he took the lead in chastising president zelenskyy on friday, triggering that oval office blowup between the two of them and president trump. and now, tonight, a pause on all military aid from the united states to ukraine. >> what i. >> tried to do. >> originally was actually. try to. >> defuze the situation. >> a. >> little bit because i'm like. >> you know, we're having this meeting. >> obviously there. >> are. >> 100 television cameras here. let's try to have this conversation in private. >> and then. >> the president. >> as we kept on going back and forth, i tried again to say, well. >> maybe we should have this conversation. >> in private. and the president was like, no, actually, i don't want to have it in private anymore. i want to have this. actual conversation. >> in public for the american. >> people to see. >> and i do think that there was just a certain. >> sense of. >> there was a. >> lack of. >> respect, there was a certain sense of entitlement. and most importantly, look, we can look past all that stuff. but the president has set a. >> very clear.

>> goal for his administration. he wants the killing to stop. >> my white house insiders are here tonight. some of horrors. shelby talcott and jeff mason of reuters. it's great to have you both. jeff, what do you make of vance saying there? you know, when he's saying he tried to diffuse it, he was answering a question from a reporter who was basically asking trump if he was more in ukraine side or russia side. and then vance spoke up and said, you know, we're not doing the name calling. we're not doing all that with putin because it didn't work with biden. so we're trying a different tactic. and then zelenskyy was asked, you know, can i respond to you? and vance said, sure. and that is really when the match. that is the precise moment from my understanding, since i was right behind that couch. that was when the match was really lit. >> yeah, absolutely. >> and then it was the vice. president who came back and said, have you said thank you wants. and said that he was. being disrespectful. i mean, that's really when voices started to get raised was. >> then i also thought it. >> was interesting that he just said in that interview that we can get past some of these things, like not being grateful. i don't know. >> that that's true. >> at least i don't know that that's, um, the position of the president of the united states.

i think he's he wants to hear that gratitude. he wants to hear that praise. he wants to see some movement on the side of ukraine that's beyond just saying, i'm willing to deal with putin. >> well, and what trump has been saying lately, including today to reporters, is basically implying he doesn't think zelenskyy wants a peace deal. now, zelenskyy hasn't given reason for that. zelenskyy just said that's not a peace deal. if there's not security guarantees, they view it very differently. but but trump is continuing to push that. >> yeah. the white house has. >> made pretty clear that their view of this is that. >> zelenskyy isn't ready. >> for a peace deal. >> and we've heard. >> trump say repeatedly, including today as well. >> that, you. >> know, sort of. lamenting about how zelenskyy. >> is isn't. grateful enough. so so. >> that is clearly. >> an issue. with donald trump. >> now, what's interesting, though, is when i've talked to several white house. >> officials today about this situation. >> and it's not. >> clear. >> exactly what. >> ukraine has to do. >> in order to get. >> these talks.

>> back on board. you talked to one white house official. they say he. >> needs to issue a. public apology. you talked. >> to another white house official. they say no public apology needed. >> he just needs. >> to sign that. >> minerals deal. he needs. >> to make clear that. >> he wants peace. >> so it's not even really clear between white house officials. it feels. like what has to happen next. >> yeah. and this all comes as tomorrow night, trump seemed to be saying maybe there could be an announcement on the minerals deal tomorrow night. i mean, we'll see what that looks like when he is addressing congress. he's done it many times. this is the first time since he's taken office. this time there's a lot to talk about tomorrow night. and, you know, elon musk will be there. he has been at the forefront of either praise from republicans or criticism, or maybe privately, some questions about what he's doing from both parties. >> yeah. so lots of. >> focus both on the president and on elon. and obviously what the what the president says and what he'll say about ukraine will be closely watched. what he says about. domestic policy. there's been. >> a. >> lot of focus, obviously, in the last few days about russia. >> but he's got. >> a full agenda. and, you know, we've got some polling showing that some people don't believe or some of his own supporters, and certainly democrats don't believe he's focused enough on

bringing prices down. will he address that? will he talk about inflation or will it be kind of a victory lap, which he also likes to do when he has the cameras on? >> yeah. what have you heard about tomorrow night? >> i think it's going to be in part a victory lap. >> you can. >> expect the. >> president to talk. >> about what he's done over the past five weeks. he's going to talk about foreign policy. ukraine will be a topic. i'm told. he's also going to talk about the economy. i think that's going. >> to be. >> particularly notable for republicans, because we've talked to republicans over the last week or two who are growing a little bit concerned about that aspect, because, remember, donald trump doesn't have to face the voters again, but these republican lawmakers do. so they're going to be looking at what he says on the economy. so it's kind of going to be in the white house's eyes. his best hits over the last five weeks. and that's what i think we can expect. >> melania trump will also be there. she was actually on capitol hill today. we heard from her publicly, really one of the first few times since since trump took office, she was there to talk about how to protect people from, you know, deep fakes and this revenge, that kind of relationship stuff that

we that we have seen, that ted cruz has championed these efforts. but she also took a dig at democrats. this is what she had to say. >> i expected to see more democrats leaders with us here today to address this serious issue. surely as adults, we can prioritize americans children ahead of partisan politics. >> what did you make of that, jeff? >> well. i think democrats are not eager to work with the administration on really anything right now. and if they felt like there was an olive branch on any of the things that they cared about, that they also think should have bipartisan support, then maybe they would have a little bit more room for bipartisan support on this. in fairness, i do believe congressman ro khanna was there, but i think he was the only democrat in the room. >> jeff mason, shall we talk to? we'll see both of you tomorrow night. up next, how are democrats going to respond? they'll be there as well. some are boycotting, but a lot of

them will be there. my next guest will. some of them are putting federal workers front and center. congresswoman ilhan omar is here to join me next. >> the presidential. >> address to congress tomorrow at 8:00 on. >> cnn. >> kobe believed in himself. >> at the youngest possible age. >> people who. >> may never even know what. >> a bicycle looks like felt his presence. >> he wants the opportunity to make his own mistakes, and he's going to end up making them. >> that's when the black mamba. >> was born. >> it was one of the. >> most remarkable stories in sports history. >> i don't want to be remembered as just. >> a basketball player. >> kobe. >> the making of a legend. streaming starting march 11th on max. >> slow down, honey. >> and you driver, you need new insurance. zebra compares over 100 insurance companies to find savings no one else can. up to $400 a year. >> trevor. >> oh, look. it's my. stop, the

also at a critical time for the president, as republicans are trying to turn his agenda into law. the president declaring earlier on truth social. tomorrow night will be big. i will tell it like it is. and how will democrats respond to that? my next source is democratic congresswoman from minnesota, ilhan omar. and it's great to have you here. um, some of your democratic colleagues are skipping tomorrow night. you are not. why not? >> well, i think. >> uh, it is really important, um, for us to to be in the people's house, um, to stand in, in defiance, to make sure that we're not seeing any ground, um, and to be there to bear witness to the lies that he's going to tell so that we can make sure the american people understand that this man is not keeping the promises that have a real impact in their lives, that he is constantly

creating, not just a constitutional crisis, but legalizing corruption. and the chaos is there to distract the american people's attention while they are literally stealing their money. >> what do you mean, stealing their money? >> well, we know that in, in in many cases, the, the favors that he is making for billionaires to take tax dollars, um, i would consider that stealing from the american people. >> well, you mean like the tech billionaires who have surrounded themselves with donald trump? >> yes. or financing crypto, um, with taxpayer dollars. those are supposed to be dollars that are supposed to be going to the american people. >> do you think that crypto initiative that he announced this morning where he picked essentially five of five of the companies that will be able to be included in that? you think that's what questions do you, as a member of congress have about that? >> we have a lot of questions, but the problem is that there is no transparency. we're not getting any answers back from

from the administration. i would also say, you know, you think about the tariffs and the the problems that they've created in tanking. um, the stock market, that is the american people's money. that's investments that people have made. >> i want to ask you about the tariffs, but but you are bringing a fired federal worker with you tomorrow night. is that going to be a strategy we see from from multiple of your colleagues? what should we expect there to be a lot of federal fired federal workers there tomorrow night, or what is that going to look like in your. >> yeah, you will see a lot of fired federal employees, many of whom are veterans, as you know, 30% of the federal workforce, uh, are veterans who have served our country. um, who get priority oftentimes in, in hiring because of the sacrifices that they've made. my guest, chris, is a air force veteran who served in in iraq. we actually first got to meet him while he was trying to help some

of the translators, um, get resettled back into the united states, which is now, as you know, halted. but chris was the assistant director of the small business administration. um, this was somebody who was trying to make sure, uh, small business entrepreneurs were getting the resources that they needed in order to make an impact in their communities. >> and we'll see what that message looks like tomorrow night on the tariffs. we were talking about this this because they go into effect at midnight. trump says there's no way for canada and mexico to kind of get the talk their way out of it or anything like that. your state, when it comes to canada, is one of the largest trading partners and imports $14.4 billion worth of goods. what is the impact going to look like on that? >> i mean, it's in totality. it's about $22 billion trade for for minnesota. >> with canada., with canada. >> just in my own district over $600 million. >> so with 25% tariffs what does

that do. >> that that is going to have impact on our farmers. that's going to have impact on multiple industries. that might mean the closing of refineries. it might mean the shutting down of different plants. um, that means people are going to lose their jobs. that means our economy is going to severely struggle. and as you know, we're on the grid. um, canada is threatening to cut off energy sources outside of a few states. most of the states in our country will be impacted. that might mean we experience blackouts, um, to him, it's a punishment for canada. but what it will ultimately be is a punishment on minnesota workers, minnesota farmers and minnesota industries. >> we'll see what that looks like. congresswoman, thank you very much. and we'll see you tomorrow night with chris at the state of the union congressional address. yes. thank you very much for for being here. also,

speaking of politics and comebacks, andrew cuomo is preparing won. the former governor is now running for mayor. the man who once held that office, bill de blasio, will weigh in next. >> it's the news. welcome back. but it's. >> also kind of not the. >> news. >> dana bash do that. >> you know. >> there's three lesbians on this panel. >> am i one of them? >> if you drink tap water and your balls still work, please clap. >> no, michael. >> we don't fact check it. we don't care, man. >> why is all. >> the information on this show so terrible? >> have i got. >> news for you? >> saturday at nine. >> on cnn and stream next day on max. >> businesses start small, but a lot of them take off as your business grows. shipstation grows with you so you can sync and manage all your orders, no matter how big you get. shipstation is custom automations maximize your

is in trouble. the city just feels threatening, out of control and in crisis. it won't be easy, but i know we can turn the city around. and i believe i can help. and that is why i announce my candidacy today for mayor of new york city. >> this potential comeback comes after cuomo resigned from office in 2021 over a sexual harassment scandal, allegations that i should note he has denied. my inside source. tonight is the former new york city mayor, bill de blasio, who joins me now. you were mayor when he was governor. you know, new york politics. what do you make of this effort at a comeback? >> you know, it's funny. >> i don't even. >> recognize the. >> city he is. >> describing in. >> that video. >> i have to start with that. >> this is. >> a city that. >> was heroic. >> during covid. >> and the people of new york city. >> we were the. >> epicenter, and.

>> people stood. >> up and helped each other. >> this city. >> came back. >> it's vibrant again. >> we have some problems. >> that's for sure. but i don't recognize. >> this kind of. >> gotham city. he's portraying. >> this, like, hellscape. >> and i actually think that's. >> going to ring. >> hollow to a lot of people. >> so it's. >> funny, when i dealt with him, a lot of the time, he almost had a new york city of the 1970s. >> in his. >> mind, i'm talking in. >> i won't go into too much detail, but in. >> private. >> conversation. >> this funny kind of like. stuck in. >> time sense of new york city in. >> like. >> the. >> fiscal crisis and the. >> bronx is burning. >> and i don't think he ever really updated. >> it because. >> by and. >> large. >> i mean. >> you can't afford. >> an apartment. >> in new york city right now. so obviously someone wants to live there. and it's i wish people could afford more, but it's obviously a place that's popular. restaurants are full, people are coming in from all over the world. so i think the very rationale is problematic to begin with. >> what does it say, though, if that is his pitch to voters about where his view is of of where, you know, democrats maybe generally, but also new yorkers themselves are at.

>> well, look, new yorkers, i love my people. but let's face it, you know, people in new york will be passionate. they'll express their views. and we certainly have some issues we're dealing with. but let's be clear, crime has come way down. the jobs came back after the pandemic. there's a lot to be proud of, too. i think people, of course, are looking for something right now. they're looking for some change. they certainly are very worried about the impact of the trump administration on new york city and the threats that we're seeing directed at new york city. a lot of people in new york city feel personally fearful because of the dynamics around immigration, for example. and we're the ultimate city of immigrants. but that said, the interesting question is going to be, what does change look like to the voter? i did a little research today. i know you love your history. there's been a cuomo on the ballot in new york city and new york state every decade for the last six decades. now, that could mean people are, like, reassured by that. no, you know, like, you know, how comfortable, how wonderful. or it could say to people, that's the ultimate status quo. and if

you don't like the way things are, you don't have to look very far to know where they came from. that's what this campaign is going to be fascinating. i think there's going to be a real prosecution of that question. who is the status quo candidate? who is the change candidate? >> and also, just in terms of knowing new york and also knowing politics yourself. when i say comeback, it's not just that he left office and he's coming back. obviously, when he left office, there was the investigation by the new york attorney general that found, um, in their report that he sexually harassed 11 women and created a hostile work environment for women. he denied those allegations, but obviously left office. also, the nursing homes. you mentioned covid and how that was handled when when he was in office, they obviously he testified on capitol hill about that and faced so much scrutiny from lawmakers. how do you overcome that? is it something you think he can or what's your view on that? >> i think it's going to be a lot harder than he and his partizans think. now, look, he's a very skilled politician and he certainly has some achievements to his name. but if you think about it, how many elections have we seen where

someone walks in the door with so many challenges and so many negatives? the 11 women who came forward, it actually turned into 13. when the justice department did a further investigation. and then the question of the nursing homes, where clearly policy decisions led to the loss of life. and then there was not honesty about it. it was actually an effort to cover that up. that's just a couple of the things we could talk about. so i think you're talking about a very skilled politician with a great family name. and at the same time, you're talking about negatives that most politicians would never have to confront just one of them, let alone a whole bunch of them together. i think this means you're going to have a very dynamic election, and someone is going to emerge as the alternative. >> we shall see what the voters decide. former new york city mayor bill de blasio, great to have you. thanks for joining us in washington. not in new york for one. >> special opportunity to be here in our nation's capital. >> thank you all
