from this conversation is i am a manufacturer of components and parts that go to other manufacturers. so my customers are other american manufacturers and a huge part of their revenue stream is going to be exporting products all over the world. and there is a demand for the products that we make here in america, in other countries. and as we impose these tariffs, we've seen a lot of retaliatory tariffs coming into place, and it's going to make it more difficult for american manufacturers to to sell their products overseas. so i think it's easy to see how that has a direct relationship to the employment of american workers in manufacturing in the u.s. if we're going to sell less of our product overseas, it could put some people's jobs in jeopardy. >> real quick, because there's a lot of whiplash on this. tariffs are coming. tariffs are coming off. maybe they're postponed. maybe they're going to be even more. if you could speak to the president and his team right now what would your message be.

>> i think that many people would feel like hearing a thoughtful, comprehensive plan about how we're going to improve our economy in the united states. um, most businesses would like to see us increase the rate of economic growth in the united states to something like 3% and sustain that, because it can help with a lot of the problems that we experience in the united states. and those are the kind of plans that i want to hear more about, less rhetoric and back and forth about trades and or tariffs and retaliatory tariffs. um, it's just not helpful at this time. >> tracy, thank you so much for coming on. it's really nice to meet you. a new hour of cnn news central starts now. >> all right. developing this morning, new confusion over the direction of u.s. economic policy. with the markets already reeling in his big speech. the president leans in to tariffs and suggests, yes, they might

hurt a little, but a key cabinet secretary seems to back off some of the threats. new reporting on the situation in ukraine. what is the status this morning of the relationship between president trump and vladimir zelinsky? what is the status of intelligence sharing after the president seemed to reach out a little in his speech? and she was the victim of revenge porn at just 14 years old, how one woman is now bringing her fight against deepfakes to congress with the help of the first lady. i'm john berman with sara sidner and kate baldwin. this is cnn news central. >> president trump declares he's just getting started. so one big question then this morning needs to be what's changed and what comes next. after a nearly 100 minute speech that celebrated the sweeping and abrupt changes that he has implemented in his first 43

days. >> now, that's right. >> america is back. six weeks ago, i stood beneath the dome of this capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of america. from that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country. >> those words, swift and unrelenting action, likely the tagline for some time coming from this first big address to a joint session, a speech that was also a fierce defense against the blowback that these those changes have received. and it may be least surprisingly, there was big love from republicans in the room and no love from democrats there, leading to something that no one says that they really have seen before. a member of congress being removed from the chamber during this speech after mounting a protest.

republican congressman representative al green, a very ununified america on full display. so today, we are now standing by for what trump's next move will be on that trade war. he triggered a call with the canadian prime minister is expected to happen. this is after the white house said a trade deal could also happen today. joining me right now to talk about all the big takeaways from this monster, historically long speech. senior political correspondent for puck, tara palmieri. it's great to see you. tara, i have up in the wall next to you, next to you, some of your big takes from the speech. obviously, he was heavy on the economy and also on immigration. but you also note that he leaned heavy on culture wars as well. why does that stand out? >> yeah, it stands out to me because usually, you know what you lay out in the speech and the prominence of it. what comes first tends to dictate your agenda. and donald trump, he really didn't start with the economy. you had to wait about

an hour, a half hour to get to that. he leaned into culture wars, into kind of owning the libs, as you could say. he really wanted to talk about how he, you know, a war on common sense that seemed to have a greater precedence to him. the di wars over, you know, how americans are really feeling day to day and why they actually elected him, which is to turn around the economy. i mean, his the way he explained the situation was to blame joe biden for the cost of eggs, to blame him for inflation. we're into our second month. how much longer can you really blame the former president? after all, he did promise that on day one he would tackle inflation. he tackled a lot of things on day one, but through executive order, not all of it is standing up. a lot of it was just messaging. a ton of it was culture war. but i think you can see what donald trump values based on the, you know, the the precedent that he the, you know, the prominence at that, uh, topic took in his speech. and i was surprised to hear the economy taking about a half hour to 45 minutes to hear about it and how, you know, boastful he was about it, but also saying you're going to feel some pain. i don't think that's what americans want to hear right now. and i just went to the

supermarket the other day. you can only buy eggs six at a time and at 8.75 a carton. so, i mean, this is not great. >> yeah it is. it's kind of like a debate. the first 20 minutes are the most important because that's when people start tuning out. it's a good point about what you're saying, kind of at the priority of how he got to things. also, elon musk defending defending doge and highlighting elon musk saying that he is the head of doge, which is noteworthy enough because the administration has said that elon musk is not the head of doge. that was also noteworthy. >> absolutely. and there might be some legal ramifications for that, considering that elon musk is so tied to the government through all of his government contracts. um, and how can he really head a government agency? has he been through proper background checks? how is he able to access so much sensitive information about americans? and now on private servers? and the guys that are working for him at doge, have they been properly vetted as well? i mean, he has basically carte blanche with all

of the agencies, which means he has carte blanche with all of our information. but yeah, it was interesting to hear him say that elon musk is the head of doge. when they pick this kind of seemingly random person to be the doge administrator. >> tara, great to see you. thank you so much for getting up early with us, sarah. >> all right. joining me now with his reaction to president trump's address, democratic national committee chair ken martin, thank you so much for being here. you've got a huge smile on your face, but i don't think that you or democrats were smiling when you listened to that speech, which was extremely partisan. the longest in history. what do you think, though, that democrats accomplished last night with their signs, with walking out, turning their back to the president and the outburst from the congressman from texas? >> well. >> let me just start by saying thanks for having me on this morning, sarah. unfortunately, what we saw last night by president trump is he used his speech instead of focusing on the issues that americans actually cared about. he did everything. but, you know, the americans have already lost

confidence in his presidency. after six weeks, consumer confidence is low. inflation is high. you know, he focused more on joe biden, which he mentioned 13 times compared to talking about the economy nine times and health care. he mentioned not once in his speech last night, his long, rambling speech. he did not address the issues that most americans care about. and what you saw from democrats, and what you continue to see from democrats is the fact that there is great frustration out there amongst the american people that donald trump refuses, absolutely refuses to address the issues. he promised that he would address. it's going to become more difficult with these tariffs that he's putting in place for people to afford their lives, and he hasn't focused one bit, one single iota on the issues that are driving the american public right now. >> i think you're talking about the economy. he did talk a little bit about the economy and told americans that they might experience a little pain before things get better. i do want to ask you about one of the things that you have said. you said that americans have lost confidence in his presidency. i want you to take a think about

this poll. cnn did a poll after the speech, and it shows that 50% of the viewers said they had confidence in trump to provide real leadership. that's a large number there. just sort of like what happened with the election. when you look at that, what do democrats need to do to reach out to that 50% who still believe that donald trump is providing real leadership? >> well, look, just in the last two weeks alone, i've been in eight different states throughout this country, meeting with. meeting with latino voters, meeting with first responders and victims of the california wildfires. and what i can tell you right now throughout this country, you're seeing deep frustration. and that just continues to grow. it's not abating at this point because donald trump is not focusing on any of those issues. once again, you know, he promised one thing, and he's doing exactly the opposite here. and i will tell you, at the end of the day, he said he was going to lower prices. he hasn't focused on that. the inflation

the inflation is continuing to rise. consumer confidence is going down. and these tariffs are again going to make it harder for people to afford their lives. what was really sick to me last night watching this address was that republicans, every single republican, stood and cheered when he talked about attacking social security. every single republican stood and cheered when he talked about cutting medicaid and medicare. the reality is, at the end of the day, i dare any one of these republicans to go back into their districts and meet with voters like i have been doing around the country right now. there's a reason they're canceling these town halls, sarah. it's because the american public is frustrated. they're mad as hell. and you saw that bubble up last night. >> it is one of the strategies, because we heard this from the speaker of the house when he was speaking to one of our anchors. he said, look, they're sending democrats into these town halls. he even said that they were paid protesters and had no evidence whatsoever of that. but speaker of the house johnson said, look,

you know, some of these are democrats going into into these town halls and causing trouble. what do you say to that? and they are constituents of these republican congress people. >> well, it's hogwash. it's absolute hogwash. it's the easy thing for them to say that these are protesters or these democrats. they are constituents who are demanding answers from their elected representatives. and instead of having the courage and the spine to face the voters and actually open their ears and listen to what americans want right now, they're canceling these town halls left and right, on the order of speaker johnson. they refuse to actually meet with and hear the concerns of average, everyday americans who are frustrated as hell with with what this trump administration and elon musk are doing right now. i will tell you what you know, get out there, listen to voters, and they will tell you you can see that reflected in the polls. donald trump's approval ratings continue to slide right now, as americans have lost confidence in his ability to actually address the issues that are impacting their

lives on a daily basis. >> ken martin, thank you so much for coming on early with us this morning. i appreciate your time. john. >> right. 100 minutes. how much honesty. a brand new fact check of the president's speech overnight. also overnight, russia launches a new wave of attacks against ukraine. as cnn reports, the u.s. has curtailed some intelligence sharing with ukraine. intelligence that's been key to saving lives. >> 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. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper sunday at nine on cnn. >> ah, mornings. >> cough congestion. >> i'm feeling better all in. >> one and. >> done with mucinex. kickstart. >> headaches. >> better now. >> mucinex kickstart gives all in one and done relief with a morning jolt of instant cooling sensation. it's comeback season.

>> this morning, thousands of people in the ukrainian port city of odesa are without power following fresh attacks by russia. overnight drone strikes hit critical infrastructure and left two people dead, many more wounded. president zelenskyy's office responded, saying russia, quote, must stop daily shelling if it truly wants war to end. let's get right to cnn's chief international correspondent, nick paton walsh in kyiv for the latest from there. good morning, nick. >> yeah, john, a daily reminder that ukrainians are losing their lives as this extraordinary diplomatic theater. i think it's fair to say, has been playing out over the past two weeks now. yesterday, they woke up to the shocking news that the united states had paused military aid. now we're also hearing from the head of. jason kikta, john ratcliffe, a bit more detail about that. in an interview with fox business. he says that actually it was military aid and intelligence sharing. remember, that second part is absolutely vital to ukraine that were indeed paused.

and he says, i think on the military front and the intelligence front, the pause that allowed that to happen, i think will go away. and he's essentially referring to the rapprochement that appeared to build last night. during his speech, president trump said he received a letter from president zelenskyy, which essentially suggested that they were willing to commit to peace to sign the rare earth minerals deal at a time that was convenient to the white house. and trump seemed essentially pleased with the tone of that letter, which had been preceded by a social media statement and a video in which zelenskyy used the word regrettable about the scenes in the oval office, which many ukrainians frankly think were disrespectful towards their president. but ratcliffe statement is interesting because he essentially suggests that the military aid pause and the intelligence sharing pause contributed to zelenskyy's change in tone to that letter to those videos and the social media posting. it was essentially an existential moment for ukraine. they really ultimately need that intelligence sharing to be able to move forward in their defense

against the russian aggression here. but ratcliffe goes on to say, i think we'll work shoulder to shoulder with ukraine as we have to push back on the aggression that's there. so he's holding out the idea that once we see ukraine closer aligned to a trump administration vision of a peace deal, that they may get this aid back. but it is clear that there was a quid pro quo there that after the oval office, they withdrew that vital element of support to ukraine. it's anywhere between a fifth to a third, depending on how you count it. but it's vital things like u.s. intelligence, like patriot air defense, missile, things that ukraine really can't persist without. i should also add that we understand intelligence sharing isn't really necessarily a real time thing. so a pause of a couple of days may not be transformative on the front lines, but we're seeing here a lot of the tactics, i think, being used by the trump administration, a lot of the immediate fallout from that oval office meeting, which left european leaders scrambling to shore up their solidarity around zelenskyy. and a question, too, i think, is the

tone of what goes forward. we simply don't know what kind of peace the trump administration have in mind here. is it a peace that they forge with the russians without the ukrainians at the table? is it one that the europeans who are working on their own separate plan bring to the trump administration with ukraine's support, and to see if trump wants to approve it? or is it a more general feeling amongst the trump administration that zelenskyy is ready to enter into talks? they've always said they want to talk peace. it's just the nature of the deal that's problematic for ukraine and its european allies. they want to be sure that russia doesn't get a chance to rebuild and then attack again as it's done, they say 25 times over the past decade. so it's clear that a lot is moving suggestions maybe of more european involvement to try and get this over the line. but to some degree, both relief and darkness too. and it's clear what the leverage being used against zelenskyy is and that may lift, although things back and forth so fast here, ukrainians are often struggling to keep up and are losing lives day by day. >> john losing lives look notable if the cia director,

john ratcliffe, was confirming that intelligence sharing had been paused for a time. notable also, if that pause is being lifted, as he suggested, there nick paton walsh in kyiv. thank you for your reporting on all this. appreciate it. sarah. >> all right. in his address, president trump threw out some big claims on everything from climate change initiatives to transgender mice. our fact check is next. also, minutes from now, we have senate minority leader chuck schumer with his response to the president's attack speech. that's ahead. >> learn how to experiment with new technologies. without getting. >> played by them. >> listen to terms of. service with me. >> clare duffy. >> available now on amazon music or wherever. >> you get. >> your podcasts. >> you'll be back. emus can help people customize and save with liberty mutual. >> gabe cohen. >> and doug. >> well, i'll be. >> only pay for. >> what you need.

implemented in his first 43 days in office, nearly 100 minutes in length. that speech was, and he said a lot in those 100 minutes. but how much of it now needs to be fact checked and clarified? cnn's daniel dale is taking a look, and he's joining us now. daniel, first, let's talk about something. i heard you saying that this is the one that has stuck out the most to you, and that's why i wanted to start with it. the president touting and touting his doge efforts and the sweeping cuts that they've put into place. he spoke at length last night about finding fraud in social security payments. let's play this. >> 3.9 million people from ages 130 to 139 lives. 3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149. and money is being paid to many of them because it just keeps getting paid and paid and nobody does. and it really hurts social security and hurts our country.

and one person is listed at 360 years of age. more than 100 years older than our country. >> daniel, what did you find? >> i found. >> that this is wildly. >> misleading at best. >> so the president. >> is at. >> least strongly. suggesting that millions of obviously dead people, you know, 200 year olds, 300 year olds are receiving social security benefits. that is not the case. and that's because he didn't explain something critical. while there is a well known issue with people's deaths not being marked in the social security database, that does not mean those people are still getting money because social security has an automated system to automatically cut off people who are listed as being 115 years old or older. now, i'll give you some specifics. in 2023, the inspector general who oversees the social security administration looked into this, found that about 19 million people didn't have their deaths marked in the database even though they were 100 years old

or over. so not good. an issue that has to be fixed. but the inspector general also found that only 44,000 of those, about 19 million, were actually getting money. and i spoke to a conservative expert about this. he said the vast majority of even those 44,000 are likely to be legit payments, given that about 86,000 people were alive in the u.s. at age 100 or older. now we have more recent data from social security. it shows that about 89,000 people age 99 or older, not millions, were receiving social security benefits. as of december 2024. so these numbers in the millions are just way, way off. >> i mean, look, my grandmother lived to be 107, so she was one of those people that was getting those social security benefits. >> suggesting this is that's fraud. and it's not. >> and, and the acting head of the social security administration has even spoken out to not to knock this one down. so you do you. >> have trump appointed? >> yeah, exactly. let's move on to the president speaking about military aid to ukraine. let's play this.

>> europe has sadly spent more money buying russian oil and gas than they have spent on defending ukraine by far. think of that. they have spent more buying russian oil and gas than they have defending. and we have spent perhaps $350 billion like taking candy from a baby. that's what happened. and they've spent $100 billion. >> what did you find here? >> the president keeps using those numbers. 350 billion from u.s., 100 billion from europe. those are both imaginary figures. so there's a german think tank that closely tracks u.s. and european aid to ukraine. it has consistently found that europe has collectively provided way more aid to ukraine than the u.s. has, rather than the reverse. like the president keeps saying, i'll get more specific in terms of aid committed. it's about 263 billion for europe to about half that 126 billion from the u.s. in terms of aid actually allocated, they found it's about

140 billion for europe to about 121 billion for the u.s. now you can get different numbers if you use a different counting methodology. but even the u.s. government's own figures have not come anywhere close to the 350 billion the president keeps using. >> that is so interesting. and that context is so important. um, then there's this moment on efforts to combat climate change. let me play this to you. >> i terminated the ridiculous green new scam. i withdrew from the unfair paris climate accord, which was costing us trillions of dollars that other countries were not paying. >> what is he referring to? >> so it's not exactly clear what he's talking about when he says the green new scam, the green new deal was a contentious, broad, progressive democratic congressional resolution. the thing is, though, it was never actually passed. now, president biden did, of course, sign a major climate environmental law known as the inflation reduction act.

but president trump has not terminated that it would take an act of congress to terminate it or terminate it. so while he has reversed some of biden's environmental policies, i don't know what he means. and then this claim the paris climate accord was costing us trillions. it's just not true. the paris climate accord allowed countries to set their own voluntary standards for cutting emissions. so it didn't impose direct costs on countries that way. and in terms of direct u.s. spending, well, president biden said we were going to spend about 11 billion per year, but congress appropriated only a fraction of that. even 11 billion wouldn't have been trillion. but we didn't even get to that level. kate. >> all right. a lot to go through in a nearly 100 minute speech, for sure. long night for you. but we really appreciate all of the context this morning. daniel. thank you. john. >> all right. in his speech last night before the nation, president trump did talk about tariffs and acknowledged that americans may feel some pain. listen. >> tariffs are about making america rich again and making

america great again. and it's happening. and it will happen rather quickly. there will be a little disturbance, but we're okay with that. it won't be much. >> all right. with us now is the senate minority leader, senator chuck schumer from new york. senator, thank you so much for being with us. you heard the president talking about tariffs last night. what was your takeaway? what do you think will happen in the next few days or weeks? >> well good morning john. it's good to be on with you. look, the number one issue that the american people want us to work on is costs. rising costs of food and of housing and of gas and of cars and of everything else. tariffs will raise the costs, the kind of tariffs the president proposed on canada, mexico, china will raise the cost for the average american family by $2,000. so that is exactly the wrong prescription for what we need. it will raise the cost not just of a few

things, but of things across the board of food, of gasoline, cars. 40% of our car, of the materials in our cars are made in canada, and cars are part of the midwest economy. that's so important. it's the economy in lots of places in the country, and those costs are going to go way up. it's going to be even harder to make cars with these tariffs on canada. so this is an outrageous policy that hurts the american people. and you ask the american people asking why is he doing this? well, i'll tell you why he's doing it. they want to give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies, and they're trying to find ways to pay for it. one way is by cutting medicaid. that's very unpopular. another way is calling social security a ponzi scheme that's very unpopular. um, and so they're looking for tariffs, but it's even worse. and so i think this is something the american people will vehemently oppose. and i think there are going to be a lot of republican senators and congressmen. they've been grumbling under their breath, but who are going to have to come out against this

plan, which is unthought out, which doesn't look at the dire consequences to raising the cost of the american people. also, they can give tax breaks to their billionaire buddies. >> one bit of breaking news on the tariff front. commerce secretary howard lutnick is doing an interview just a few minutes ago with bloomberg, where he seemed to back off. yesterday, he claimed that president trump may be willing to meet in the middle with canada and mexico, maybe retreating now this morning from that saying maybe some accommodation could be reached on autos alone, but we'll have to wait and see how that develops a little bit more over the next few minutes. >> john, you know what this says. and it's typical of all of trump's speech. it is so unthought out. it's sloganeering. it's partisan. in many instances it was nasty. you know you got more truth in elissa slotkin response in five minutes. then you got in 100 minutes of donald trump's long dialog. and so they don't think these things out. so they say one thing one day and one thing the next day. but he said he's sticking with tariffs. and that's going to be bad for the

pocketbooks of american families. >> you called it nasty. it was like four minutes into the speech when congressman al green was yelling at the podium and he was escorted out. what was going through your head as you heard the congressman yelling? >> well, look, the bottom line is lots of people are frustrated. but the best way to protest what trump is doing is doing what we are doing in many senators and many congressmen are doing, and that is organizing against these horrible policies of making of calling social security a ponzi scheme and then cutting, slashing. would you rather? >> would you rather? >> so here's what we're. john, here's what we're doing. >> would you rather that he not yell. >> here, let me just say the best answer, in my judgment is to organize. so i put a call together last week with our activists. i thought the 400 people would get on the phone. 4000. 3000 people got on the phone. and what we all decided was we're going to focus our energy on the six republican

congress members from new york, because they hold the key to stopping these horrible policies, as you know, in the house, all you need, 1 or 2 in the senate, you need 3 or 4. we don't have republican senators in new york, but in other states there are. and the best way to organize and protest is to organize. organizing is hard, but it's effective. and that's what we're doing. >> well, let me ask a different way. would you rather see democrats more in line with what senator elissa slotkin was saying, or more in line with what congressman al green and people holding signs in the audience were doing last night? >> look, i thought, melissa elissa slotkin, i chose her because she is such one of our rising stars from the midwest, won a race, knows how to talk to average folks, to working families. and she did a great job. and i think, again, the american people got more truth in her, in her in five minutes of her speech than with all the lies, with all the misconceptions, with all the

things that were departing from reality. when donald trump says he's the greatest president after 30 days of chaos and hurting people since george washington, give me a break. >> the. you, of course, were one of many democratic senators who voted to confirm marco rubio as secretary of state. we just got word this morning that jim sciutto and others are reporting that intelligence sharing was curtailed, at least in part, with ukraine director john ratcliffe seemed to suggest that it had been curtailed. maybe now won't be. what's your view of that? and b do you regret your vote to confirm marco rubio as secretary of state? >> okay, so first let me say what you brought up just portrays one of the many, many problems, huge problems with this administration. they don't even one day they say one thing, one day they say the next thing. i don't even know if the president knows what these folks are doing. so they talk about we're going to cut off intelligence. we're not. it's a huge mistake to cut off

intelligence. huge, huge mistake. the ukrainians need it. the collaboration between america and ukraine has proven to be very, very effective. the one person who is happy that we might cut off intelligence to ukraine is vladimir putin. this bully, this dictator who donald trump seems to be interested in finding friendship with, even treating zelenskyy and the brave ukrainians poorly. there again, there are a good number of republicans who agree with us, and i hope they will join with us. it's on them to curtail the excesses, the horrible things that the trump administration may be proposing to abandon ukraine. >> um, politico and others are reporting that he had a meeting last week with former secretary of transportation pete buttigieg. politico writes pete buttigieg met with senate minority leader chuck schumer last week to discuss a possible senate bid in michigan, according to two people familiar with the meeting, and granted anonymity to describe private

conversations. how was the meeting? >> i'm not getting into any private meetings i've had like that. >> did a private meeting exist like that? >> i'm not getting into it. >> senator chuck schumer from new york, thank you very much. we will interpret that laugh for ages. >> john. john, good to be with you. >> sarah. >> john manages to make everyone laugh with his america's little brother grin that he has at times. all right. how are you feeling about the economy right now, after the trump administration's promise to fix prices on day one and the fight against deep fakes, the texas teen who knows that battle firsthand, now championed by the first lady's platform to protect children online. those stories and more ahead. >> it's time to. say not so fast. chronic kidney disease. because with the progressive

sent him back to the white house. cnn chief data reporter harry enten joins us now. what do the numbers say? how do people feel about him? is he pushing the economy to the top of his agenda? enough? >> no. >> no no no. >> no no. the answer to. >> the question. >> is no. trump and the economy. >> he should. >> prioritize here on planet earth. >> 82% say it's. almost as if trump is on. planet krypton. look at this. >> he is prioritizing the economy. >> just 36%. >> my goodness gracious. i don't understand. >> how this mathematical. formula works, right? if the economy is the number one issue. >> if that's. what americans think. >> you should be prioritizing and well, less than. >> half think that you are. no wonder. >> trump is having. problems with. >> the economy. >> because simply put, he's not putting it to the top of his list the way. >> americans are. >> we all know the stock market doesn't tell you everything about the economy. it is one indicator. but do americans care a lot about the stock market? it used to be that a lot of americans weren't in the stock market. that has changed, though, hasn't it? >> that has changed tremendously. you know,

sometimes i look up numbers and i'm just shocked at them. this to me is a shocking number. and it. >> tells you why the stock market is. >> so important to perceptions of the economy. american adults who have. >> a job. >> currently at least in january with 61%, the percentage that own a stock either directly or indirectly. perhaps your. 401 k. >> 62%. >> so stock the stock market is as important to economic perceptions in my mind as is the unemployment number. given that about the same percentage of americans in fact, if you believe it, though, it's within the margin of error. one point more of the american folks actually own stock than actually have a job. and that's why the economy or the stock market going this way could lead to donald trump's approval ratings. following along on the roller coaster. >> but it does have a lot to do with, for one, because a lot of people in their jobs have stocks because of their 401 s. we've gone away from the pension system and into the 401 k system. let's let's go now. thank you. you're welcome for the financial advice. thank you. >> i was watching my 401 k go. >> down yesterday. >> that's what we all are. um, what about last night's speech? did that have any impact on how

people feel about donald trump? >> we will see. but i will just. >> say color me very skeptical because going back through history, the job approval shift post speech to congress, the average president goes up. get this, but just 0.3 points. trump's average was up 1.6. but that was just a momentary bump. that really isn't going to change the game. something's going to happen. have to happen with him on the economy and perceptions of him and how he's dealing with the economy. if he wants to see his approval rating go up instead of go down like it currently. >> is, and the fact that he promised to some disturbances may not help him much at all. >> new folks. >> aren't liking what they're hearing, at least at this moment. >> all right. harry enten, it is always a pleasure. thank you so much. >> the pleasure. >> is mine. kate. >> let us talk more about that speech. the president celebrating the sweeping changes he's putting in place, defending those changes with. joining us right now is republican congressman byron donalds of florida, who also recently announced his candidacy, now running for governor of florida. thanks so much for coming in again. congressman. appreciate your time. the president really laid out in that lengthy speech and his priorities. i heard you in

reaction to it right after the speech. you called it a great speech last night. i've heard that from many republicans focusing in on the economy and tariffs. and when the president said there will be some pain, a little disturbance is how he talked about it in the speech. what that looks like out in the world is target and best buy have both. now just said that price increases and soon are highly likely. a metal manufacturer out of minnesota. i just spoke with on the show said this is this would put jobs in jeopardy for her company and others. i know you support his agenda. are you okay with people in florida paying higher prices over this trade war? >> well, first things first. let's level set. when you talk about a temporary adjustment, what we're saying is, is that yes, there's going to be some movements in the purchasing system if you're importing goods into the united states. that part is true. but you have to take a broad view of the economy. it's not just tariff policy. it's also deregulation being led by doge that members of congress are going to follow through. it's about a

reauthorization of his tax policy, the same tax policy that the democrats talked about, campaigned against, but when they had power, did not change. we're going to reauthorize that, and we're going to bring new elements to that tax policy. no tax on tips, no tax on social security, no tax on medicare. i mean, on, on on overtime. and then also the other piece we're going to try to do is make sure we have 100% expensing for these same businesses. so when you take the economic agenda of donald trump in totality, it actually works out much better for american business and the american people compared to what joe biden and kamala harris were doing, because they ushered in massive inflation by just being reckless in overspending. we're trying to work with democrats to get spending under control to eliminate the waste, fraud and abuse so you can stabilize prices. so i know tariffs might cause an adjustment, but when you bring into totality everything that donald trump is going to accomplish and i stress

is going to accomplish, it will work out better for the american people and the people of florida. >> as i mentioned, you're running for governor of florida. and i was looking at an analysis, state by state of what the tariffs could mean. there's in looking at florida, it said it would have an estimated $5 billion impact on the state result in an effective increase of 215% compared to prior existing tariffs. you say take the broader view. but how do you make that case? you know, in the short term to businesses in florida, to the people of florida, when they're still going to the grocery store and they're seeing the prices of eggs they're going to target, and they're going to see that they're paying more. >> well, you mentioned eggs. eggs is because there's an avian flu going through the population. so that's decreasing egg production. that has nothing to do with tariff policy. so let's be let's be intellectually honest about that. >> no, i'm just. >> saying they're still see.

>> prices elevated. and they're going to see more prices elevated. that's all i'm saying. >> keep going kate. wait a minute. let's let me let me be clear on all these points. tariff policy is one piece of the economic agenda. the president announced last night that for every one new regulation, he's going to cut ten regulations. so those same business owners who might be concerned about tariff policy are welcoming a reduction in the regulatory state, joe biden added $2 trillion worth of regulations in just four years. donald trump wants to slash those regulations. and if you talk to business owners like i do, like the president does, and so many of my colleagues, if you're going to talk about what matters more tariffs or cutting the regulatory bureaucracy in washington, they will tell you, cut the regulations because they're killing us. they are stifling us. they don't allow our businesses to grow. so this is why i say, whether you're a business in florida or any business in the country, it's about everything that the president is doing economically, not just tariffs, specifically

the tariffs. we cannot live in this pollyanna view of the world anymore, where every other country gets to take advantage of us, our farmers and our business owners. we have to get on a level playing field. that's what the president is trying to accomplish for all of the american people and american business. >> another big focus, obviously, with the president and the speech last night and, well, in general is the war in ukraine and bringing an end to it. we just heard this just this morning, congressman, the cia director actually just said that the u.s. has paused intelligence support to ukraine. that's in addition to pausing the military support, the military aid. people have said that that intelligence is critical to ukraine being able to defend against russian attacks and prepare for them. chuck schumer was just on talking to john and called this intelligence pause a huge, huge mistake. what is your view on it? >> my view is is very clear. yes, of course, ukraine can use our intelligence to help themselves, but that's not going to end this war. what ends

this war is in part, the economic deal that donald trump laid out for vladimir zelenskyy a couple of weeks ago. this is the same vladimir zelenskyy who tried to lecture donald trump in the oval office, something that we should never tolerate from any leader across the globe. no matter what is happening, you don't come into our house and lecture us when we are the ones who have been footing the bill in order to keep the ukrainians afloat in this conflict. so the president announced last night that it looks like vladimir zelenskyy is going to sign on to this mineral rights deal, which is going to be a great deal for ukraine as it rebuilds from this conflict because they have to rebuild their country. it will help them rebuild. it will help the united states. and that is the pathway to peace. if it means that you have to cut off intelligence or cut off arms sales to arrive at a deal, so be it. but the bloodshed must end. the war must end. we must have peace. that's what donald trump campaigned on. he was very clear about this, and that is what he is delivering.

>> real quick. that protest from congressman al green last night, and then he was removed from the chamber. do you think he should face censure? >> i don't know, we'll see what happens. and, you know, the speaker is going to talk to the members about that. i will say we just can't have members on either side of the aisle doing extended disruptions. and what i'm what i mean by extended is congressman green didn't even allow the president of the united states to get through the first three minutes of his remarks. we have had members yelling in the in the crowd, and i know people want to go back to my colleague joe wilson, joe wilson, several years ago, during barack obama's presidency, it's happened on both sides of the aisle. but what happened last night is congressman green did not even allow for the president to continue his speech. that's why he had to be removed from the chamber. it was really unfortunate because this was an opportunity for democrats who, yes, don't agree with some pillars of the trump agenda, but to be able to celebrate some of the successes, like securing our southern border, like acknowledging a jocelyn nungaray

who had a wildlife reserve named after her, they couldn't even celebrate that. it was a stark thing to watch in the chamber. but unfortunately, american politics has gotten very partisan. we're going to be focused on the golden age of america and making our nation great once again. >> congressman byron donalds, thank you for coming in. appreciate it. sarah. >> all right. breaking this morning, commerce secretary howard lutnick saying president trump could back off at least some of his new tariffs as soon as today. and starting today, one of the country's largest retailers will face a 40 day targeted boycott after they dropped their dei practices. >> oh, it makes me want to tear up. i swear to god, there ain't no way i would be here without tiktok. i got really good at tearing motors apart and putting them back together, and the car still worked. i received so much support for that and it made me feel like, okay, maybe i can really, really, really do this. my business has tripled in the last year because of me sharing

my videos on tiktok. i wouldn't be able to support the families that work for me now without tiktok, without the increase in sales. >> my moderate to. >> severe crohn's. >> disease and. >> my ulcerative. >> colitis symptoms kept me. >> out of the picture. >> now there's skyrizi. >> i've got places to go and i'm feeling free. control of my symptoms means everything to me. control is everything to me. >> and now. >> i'm back in the picture. >> feel significant symptom relief at. four weeks with skyrizi skyrizi is proven to help deliver remission. >> and help visibly improve damage of the intestinal lining. at 12 weeks. >> and. >> one year. >> don't use if allergic serious allergic reactions, increased infections, or lower ability to fight them may occur before treatment. get checked for infections and tb. tell your doctor about any flu like symptoms or vaccines. liver problems leading to hospitalization may occur when treated for crohn's or uc. >> ready to get back in the picture? ask your gastroenterologist how to take

control of your crohn's or uc with skyrizi. >> control is everything to me. >> abbey could help you save. >> until this week, my dad did not know where he was from. it means the world to share ancestry with my dad. so in nigeria, that's where it all started. so they broken it down by regions, by journeys and by parents. i think, man, this is deep. this is my way of saying thank you to him. >> oh, what. >> a. >> good time. >> we. >> will have. you can make it happen again. >> voltaren for long lasting. >> arthritis pain relief. >> some people just know. they could save hundreds on car insurance by checking allstate first. like you know, to check first that you bought seats in the right section. >> kandiss taylor sean duffy. >> so check allstate first for a quote that could save you hundreds. >> i can see why you're expanding. >> its nuts online to.

>> what's the secret? >> we know. >> humans like new toys. >> so always. >> staying one step ahead. >> and with. >> a.i. we can. >> look at so much more than sales. data by our. >> behaviors. >> social engagement. see that? predictive analytics. >> how long. >> have you been doing this? >> as long as we've been with. >> people who know., know b.d.o. >> the intensity rises. >> as the march to the playoffs heats. >> up, we head down the stretch on tnt. you're going to see. players put. >> it

legal process. >> pond hockey. tell us your story. watch the lead today at five on cnn. >> one of president donald trump's biggest campaign promises was lowering the cost of groceries. but while inflation did cool off, those bills are not going down. cnn's danny freeman has a chat with voters in pennsylvania to get their read on the state of the

nation so far. >> in many ways, sprinkles neighborhood market was just like any other local grocery store. until the president came to town. >> they caused inflation at a number that nobody can believe. we've never seen numbers like this. >> a month before election day, president trump visited the family owned grocery store in rural kittanning, pennsylvania, to drive home a critical campaign promise. >> when i win, i will immediately bring prices down starting on day one. >> yet, despite the promise and the visit. >> now. >> prices have stayed stubbornly high. >> professionally. >> it was the. >> wildest 37 minutes of my life. >> ryan sprinkle, now clean shaven, is the owner of the store. he proudly gave trump the tour back in september. and ryan voted for trump, in large part because he said prices would come down. are you concerned that that hasn't happened yet? >> i'll be honest. >> you know, no matter who's trying to get your vote, you know, i think there's always a certain amount of overpromising. >> while the republican

acknowledges prices have remained high, he says they have stopped going up so rapidly. >> the fact that a lot of the big companies prices have stabilized and aren't increasing at the rates that they've been increasing at, give me hope that, you know, at least, scott, somebody's attention. >> corey new data from the commerce department appears to back up what ryan is seeing. inflation did, in fact cool slightly in january compared to december. one of the federal reserve's go to inflation gauges rose 2.5% last month compared to the year before, slowing from december's 2.6% annual rate. but that doesn't mean american shoppers are feeling relief yet. >> i think it's. >> going to take. >> some time for that to happen. >> but jenny klein, an independent who voted for trump, says she has complete faith in the president. >> i didn't get this way in six months, you know. it will take a while for the prices to come down, and i'm willing to give him the time because i feel he'll be able to do it. >> a lot of these. >> areas a
