>> you're in the. cnn newsroom. >> i'm jessica. >> dean in new york. and we. >> begin. >> with president. >> trump declining. >> to rule out whether. >> the. >> u.s. could face a. >> recession this year. markets have. >> been signaling a growing. >> risk of. economic trouble, with. >> economists blaming. >> trump's on again, off again tariffs. >> that could. >> bring a new inflation shock and federal job cuts. in an interview with fox news, the president defended his economic agenda and the widespread concern it's created. are you expecting a recession this year? >> i hate to predict things like that. there is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. we're bringing wealth back to america. that's a big thing. and there are always periods of it takes a little time. it takes a little time. but i think it should be great for us.

>> cnn senior white house producer betsy klein is joining us now from west palm beach, florida. betsy, what else did the president have to say about this? >> well, the president, jessica, was pressed repeatedly by maria bartiromo in that same fox news interview as to whether he could offer any clarity to members of the business community amid all of this uncertainty and back and forth on tariffs on mexico and canada. but i want to step back and talk about how we got here. the president talked about tariffs a lot on the campaign trail. and just weeks after the election, said he would impose tariffs on both mexico and canada, signing an executive order on february 1st and then delaying that another month. that got us to the uncertainty this week, starting on tuesday, he imposed 25% tariffs on mexico and canada. on wednesday, he issued tariffs or lifted tariffs on the auto industry. by thursday, he had lifted all tariffs for a month. and on friday he announced new tariffs on canadian dairy and lumber products. but just this morning, his commerce secretary in fact

announced that those dairy tariffs would not go in place until april 2nd. but asked whether the tariffs going into place april 2nd are the final iteration or there will be more. the president declined to say. he said it depends and they could go up. but look, the president's team views these tariffs as a move aimed at cracking down on fentanyl. kevin hassett, the president's top economic adviser, said that this is a drug war, not a trade war, and that the whiplash we have seen over the past few days is a sign of progress. >> what happened. >> was that we launched a drug war, not a trade war, and it was part of a negotiation to get canada and. mexico to. >> stop shipping. >> fentanyl across our borders. >> i mean, 1% of fentanyl is being smuggled. >> across the border. >> 1%. i mean, canada is not a major. source at all of fentanyl in the. >> united. >> states, are they? >> well. >> yes.

>> they are a major source. and i. >> can. >> tell you that in the situation room. >> i've seen photographs. >> of fentanyl labs in canada that the law. >> enforcement folks. >> were leaving alone. >> canada has got. >> a big drug problem, even in their own. >> cities. >> i want to emphasize what john karl said. just there. u.s., canada is responsible for just 0.2% of illegal fentanyl imports into the u.s. but all of this taken together, rocking markets, so much uncertainty, jessica. >> all right. and another week ahead where we will see what happens. betsy klein, thank you so much for that. cnn political commentators van jones and shermichael singleton, join us now to talk more about that and more. i want to say welcome to both of us. to both of them. i see van there. so van, let's start first with you on this. i do want to play a clip from president trump. and then and then let's talk about it on the other side. >> we may go up with some tariffs. it depends. we may go up. i don't think we'll go down but we may go up.

>> so van we have shermichael singleton joining us as well. shermichael we'll get to you in just a moment. i think the big question right now is how long will americans who in part who really in large part voted for donald trump because they think the cost of living is too high? how long are they going to go along with what he's calling this transition? do you think? >> well. >> i don't know. right now the transition. >> looks like. >> it's going to be a transition. >> to higher. >> costs and not lower costs, because that's what tariffs do. look, donald trump is making america the worst neighbor ever. if you had a neighbor like this making threats and changing demands and you would like, honey, we're moving. but unfortunately canada and mexico can't move. they're just stuck with this craziness. there's there's look you can have tariffs. you can have not tariffs or you can just have turbulence. we have we're in this turbulence. and i don't think it's smart for anybody. it's certainly not good for the united states. image in the world. >> shermichael what's your take on this. how long do you think

americans will will go along with this transition? and to van's point, at this point, it's unknown exactly how this all shakes out. but but there is a very high probability if these tariffs do in fact go into effect, that it's going to raise costs for the average american. >> yeah. look. >> that's one. >> of the. >> drawbacks of tariffs. >> higher consumer. >> prices. >> potential trade wars. and obviously it. >> leads to. >> economic inefficiencies, particularly when the. >> economy is. >> weak and struggling as our economy still is, which is the case for most global. >> economies or all. >> global economies across the globe, i should say. with that said, however, i think. >> the administration needs. >> to streamline. >> the process and there is a lack. >> of cohesiveness. i think if you can. >> articulate to the. >> american people. >> that the idea of a temporary and limited tariff strategy to protect domestic industries, to reduce trade deficits, to. >> increase the. >> demand for local jobs. thus boosting. >> employment in domestic industries. that is an.

>> argument that i think would be very palatable to americans who. >> are still. >> yearning for. >> good paying. >> jobs and jobs. >> that could lead to sustainability. >> long term. i'm not really seeing that thus far coming from the administration, but. >> i think a pivot there, jessica, is. >> something that. >> i would advise the president. >> you can do. >> this with some level of effectiveness. i just don't think they're. >> quite there yet. >> mm-hmm. and look, van democrats are still trying to figure out exactly how they're going to operate in the second trump term. and they clearly have not landed on anything quite yet. but i thought this was interesting. there's a new op ed in the new york times from a democratic congressman, chris deluzio, who's from pennsylvania, who says that an anti-tariff absolutism is a mistake. he wrote, the answer isn't to condemn tariffs across the board and the risks. and this risks putting democrats out of touch with hard working people who used to be the lifeblood of the party. what do you think about that? >> i just think it's stupid because the reality is the the last administration was fighting

hard to fix the problem he's talking about in terms of getting the industrial base back on board. the ira, as they called it, was trying to build an infrastructure. we're trying to bring the chips act was trying to bring a data centers and everything back to the united states. but there's just no this particular terrorist strategy of just changing the rationale for the tariffs. by the way, i have one of my closest friends die because of fentanyl. i don't like the deaths of fentanyl being pimped and used and held out as an excuse. if there's a trade war, let it be a trade war and be honest about that. if it's a drug war, this is the dumbest drug war strategy i've ever heard of. the most of the fentanyl is not coming from canada. most of the fentanyl is being cooked up here in the united states by people who are getting away with it here. and so you're blaming mexico. you're blaming canada. you're saying it's fentanyl. you're changing every day. this is not a good strategy. now, when the congressman says, you know,

absolutism, look, no one, no democrat or no republican has articulated exactly how any tariff strategy is going to result in unwinding all of this stuff quickly. so you actually have jobs here. we know we're going to have the costs going up, but there's nobody who's been able to show you how you're going to have. the cost will be going up, but there's no idea that anyone has put forward that's honest. that says the jobs will be going up anytime soon. so i reject the congressman's point of view, and we just need to be clear. donald trump has a nutty strategy for drugs and trade, and it's not. and it's and it's causing everybody a lot of concern around the world and the united states. >> and shermichael to van's point on on the messaging around what they're calling this. and we heard from kevin hassett saying that this is a drug war, not a trade war. but then you do look at the actual numbers. canada making up just 0.2% of fentanyl seizures at the u.s. border in the last year. you know, we're showing a graphic here right now, and it's 96.6%

mexico, 0.2% canada. is that the right tack here. do you, you know, to say and try to message out, this is a drug war, not a trade war. >> yeah. look. >> i actually agree with the congressman. and i hear van's point about the. >> ira and wanting. >> to bring chip manufacturing back to the u.s. that's a higher skill. >> required for those types of jobs. i'm not necessarily opposed. >> to that from a policy disposition. from the administration's perspective, i. >> would pivot. the message. >> again would. be our objective here is to protect domestic. >> industry and. >> to increase demand for local production. >> we can go all the. >> way back to the early. >> 90s with nafta. >> the idea of the north atlantic free trade agreement was that it would boost all boats, that all economic levels in this country would rise. and what we. actually saw was the reverse. >> or adverse. >> effect of that. jessica, you saw a. >> lot of middle. >> class industries destroyed because of free trade. now. usually conservatives. >> are all about free trade. >> i'm very, very skeptical of

the notion of free trade because i do not think it has yielded the results that we thought it was going to yield. about 25, 28 years ago. >> and so that should be the focus. >> that should be the message to the american people. yeah, there will. >> be a. >> slight. >> pinch because. >> obviously you're pivoting industries. >> here. >> but those production. >> needs are going to. >> have to take place somewhere. the argument again should be that they should take place within our own borders. not outside. >> and i do want to get to a couple other things with you. with you all. van, the new dhs secretary, kristi noem, has said she is using now all measures to crack down on leaks out of her agency. i want to play what she said. >> anyone who is leaking information. outside of. >> of how. >> something is planned for the safety of those law enforcement officers, needs to be held accountable. >> for that. >> and you're going. >> to continue. >> these polygraphing. >> of employees. the authorities that i have under the department of homeland security are broad and extensive, and i plan to use every single one of them to make sure that we're following the

law, that we are following the procedures in place to keep people safe, and that we're making sure we're following through. on what president trump has promised that he is going to make america safe again. >> van. she's saying they're going to continue using polygraph tests on employees. is that aggressive type measure an answer here? >> look, it's the same thing every time. what problem are you trying to solve? you know, are you trying if you're trying to solve the problem of fentanyl, beating up on canada is not going to solve it. what problem are you trying to solve? if you're trying to solve, you know we don't have jobs in the industrial heartland throwing tariffs around and then not implementing them, then that's not going to solve it. are you trying to solve a problem that we're having leaks out of the department of homeland security that are costing americans lives? well then where were those leaks? no, what you're doing is you're concerned that you're going to be doing stuff behind the closed door, that some whistleblowers are going to tell the public about. this has nothing to do with national security. it has. what it has to do with is you have an

authoritarian push inside of this government that wants to lock everything down. look, if they came forward and said, you know what? we have had 17 leaks and it has cost americans their lives. we've had our spies killed. this is a massive problem. we're going to use polygraphs and anything else i would snap to attention and say, well, you go, sister. there is no problem that they're trying to solve here, folks. this is just to make sure there's no whistleblowers that spill the beans about whatever they're cooking up inside the trump administration. >> shermichael is there any other answer besides that one that you think? >> i mean, look. >> if someone. >> is leaking information that puts individuals at risk, then they should absolutely be fired, number one and potentially even. face some type of legal repercussions. there are whistleblower protections. >> for a reason. >> i don't necessarily disagree with with van, in terms of if whistleblowers are highlighting things that may be unethical or illegal, regardless of who the president is, democratic or republican, then i. >> don't. think that's a. >> bad thing. i think. most americans would want to know if

there's some malfeasance. going on. but if what the secretary is. claiming is. as factual, that she is legitimately concerned that there's information being leaked to members of the press that puts at jeopardy certain operations, that keeps our country safe, then, yeah, we need to know who those individuals are. we need to make sure that if they're saying they're not doing it, that they're telling the truth, so that the following process of letting them go and whatever is to follow next can take place. >> yeah. and then just lastly, van, in terms of democrats and where they go from here this last week, we did see them try to some people try to protest during the president's address and then the house leadership getting on to them, other democrats calling them out, they still seem to be wandering around trying to figure figure this out. what's your take? >> can we ask another question? do i keep talking about my own party? can we talk about ukraine or something? no, no. look, man, we're we're we're screwed. i mean, we don't know. no, democrats don't know what to

do. this is this is a nightmare. you know, somebody like donald trump, we thought we'd at least have hakeem jeffries in the speaker's chair to hold him back. if we didn't have kamala in there to do the right thing. listen, the democratic party is going through a massive set of internal crises. you have a party that got trapped two ways. one, defending a broken status quo that nobody likes because they thought that donald trump was going to make it worse. but when you're defending the status quo, you're going to lose. and then offending most people in the country, calling everybody sexist and racist and transphobic and every other name, and then saying, please follow us. that's not a good strategy, folks. defending a broken status quo and offending most of the country, turns out, is not as popular as my party thought it was going to be. and so it's going to take a while for people to get it figured out. i don't i don't like talking about this. i'd rather be beat up. can you give me something i can beat up shermichael about? i don't want to talk about my own party. >> i know, i know, i know, it's a tough question. it's a tough

question. shermichael. if you happen to be advising democrats, would you. do you have anything for them? >> i mean, look, i'm not in the business of advising them, but but for a long time, you know, democrats, they sort of held the culture. you know, they they led culture. they led in many ways, the political corridors. >> of urban america. >> a lot of young people were. >> solidly strong democratic supporters. and now what. >> you've seen, jessica. >> is that the pendulum is swinging. >> you're seeing a lot of younger people. >> particularly men. >> who are moving more to the right. you're seeing americans who are becoming much. more skeptical of the democratic party, particularly on cultural issues. >> and this seems. >> to be a culture shock for democrats. they're not used to this. and it's a high moment for the republican party. >> and so i don't want to necessarily. >> beat down democrats. but what i would say is for my party. >> in particular. >> let's utilize this opportunity to expand out, to expand. our voter pool. >> african american men. >> latino men, latino women, younger voters writ large so that going. into the next

midterms, next year, we can increase our republican majority in the house. that's what i see this moment as an opportunity for republican increase and further viability for our party. i'll let democrats figure out their own mess on their own time. >> well. >> it'll be i sure. i sure hope you're wrong, shermichael. and i'll tell you what you i mean, first of all, i don't like being on air with him because he's too smart. but the other thing is that, you know, you guys do have an opportunity. but i tell you, as best i can tell, you're blowing it. if you would just focus on getting prices down, quit scaring the crap out of all of our allies and, you know, exhausting people with bad media, you probably could grow. you're giving us a tremendous opportunity to come back. but i don't want to come back just because republicans are doing the wrong thing. i want democrats to learn something so we can do the right thing. and we got a long way to go on that. >> van jones and shermichael singleton, our thanks to both of you. we really appreciate it. >> good to see you, man. good to see you, jessica. >> all right, brother, to still ahead, russian strikes on ukraine intensify as peace talks are set to ramp up this week. at

>> we have breaking news, as the faa says, five people were on a small single engine plane that has now crashed in pennsylvania. you're looking at video of that crash site. the aircraft crashed near a retirement community in lancaster county. that's about 70 miles outside of philadelphia. local police are not providing any information about injuries or casualties. we do know the faa is investigating. we'll, of course, continue to get more information and bring it to you as we get it. meantime, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says russia has launched, quote, hundreds of attacks at his country this week, with 23 people dying in this latest round. the attacks include 1200 guided aerial bombs and nearly 870 attack drones. ukraine's air force saying it struck down dozens of drones overnight. cnn senior international correspondent melissa bell is following all of these developments for us. melissa, we are seeing this escalation in attacks. russia also advancing on ukrainian forces in the kursk region. tell us more about all of it.

>> well, according to president zelenskyy, tonight in his evening address, jessica, that russia is not after a peace but capturing and destroying as much ukrainian territory as it can. we've been hearing more details also of that missile strike you mentioned yesterday in dobropillia in the east of the country, the scene of a double tap. so one missile hitting and then a second one. emergency services are on the ground that killed 11 people. but you're quite right. 23 dead over the course of the weekend, according to ukrainian authorities. and those are just the civilians. we understand that conditions are extremely tough for ukrainian forces up in the kursk region that was captured from russia in august, with russian forces making big advances. there was a daring entry of ukraine, of russian forces rather into the town of sudzha through a pipeline that allowed them to get inside the town, a key town that we understand. ukraine fears losing. we've also seen

tonight images from the russians of attacks on ukrainian positions and soldiers, but also the raising of a russian flag on a key settlement outside of that town of sochi. so difficult news coming from the front as far as kursk goes. and, of course, ukrainian forces remain under pressure elsewhere, even as they attempt. they prepare rather to enter these negotiations with two key pieces missing from what should be their arsenal. and that is, of course, american support. the pausing of american military aid and american intelligence sharing. this is a decidedly weakened position in which ukrainians find themselves and in which they enter this key week of negotiation. jessica. >> yeah, and it will be it will be very interesting. as secretary of state marco rubio travels to saudi arabia to meet with those ukrainian officials. melissa bell, thank you so much. we really appreciate it. and joining us now is cnn global affairs analyst kimberly dozier. good to have you here with us. thanks so much. i do want to start there with this escalation in attacks from russia. trump saying this is what anyone in

putin's position would do. but do you feel like the russian president, vladimir putin, is feeling pretty emboldened in light of the u.s. scaling back support, both with aid and sharing some intel this week well. >> ukrainians on the ground. reported watching the military immediately fall back from. >> various positions. >> because of the cut in u.s. intelligence. and now it seems that russia is taking advantage of that. if the ukrainian troops are not getting the kind of information they were before, including real time reports on locations of russian troops, russian troop movements, this is an opportunity for them to sneak up on ukrainian positions. et cetera. we've seen them do that in kursk. and of course, they're also simply pressing their advantage to try to take back as much territory as possible. while they have this advantage before they have to negotiate

away some, possibly at the negotiating table. >> and there now seems to be these questions of ukraine's future access to elon musk's starlink internet. poland's foreign minister saying they may be forced to look for alternatives. what could that mean for ukraine at this, at this pivotal moment? >> well. >> the last i heard that was that elon musk himself had tweeted that he wasn't going to cut off that access. but if you're ukraine, if you're europe and you're seeing that the white house is no longer the ally that you thought you could depend on, and you've seen the kind of things that elon musk has been tweeting about. the conflict in general. you're going to be looking ahead to creating alternative supplies. the problem with that is, you know, i have for years gone to various meetings in europe where i listened to defense manufacturers complain that the officials keep talking about the defense manufacturers not ramping up production to have

these kind of things like ammunition for the battlefield available. but the various countries in europe haven't been sending them the orders that make it worthwhile to open up new manufacturing supply. all that is a way to explain that, you know, now that europe sees, after a lot of dithering, that it really just possibly can't depend on the u.s., and it wants to give ukraine and itself better options. it's going to take months to years to make up for u.s. resources, including, as polish officials and others have said, publicly coming up with alternatives to starlink. >> mm-hmm. and so now we look ahead to these talks in saudi arabia that are coming up this next week with u.s. officials. how does this current what we're seeing now, these this escalation in attacks and and how it's impacting ukraine's position. how does that affect what's going to be happening this week.

>> well, from the ukrainian position, they have gotten the message that this white house, this president, is far more in putin's camp and is very transactional and only sees that mineral deal as a way to get something out of ukraine. so they are reluctantly heading for these talks. i heard from a couple of ukrainian officials today who basically said, you know, what else can we do? they're also heading to those talks with the public admission by the ukraine envoy, keith kellogg. last week, in remarks at the council on foreign relations that he said the ukrainians did this to themselves. he and others tried to tell them that the only way out of this was to sign that minerals deal. keith kellogg described it trying to get through to kyiv as hitting a donkey on the nose with a two by four that has not gone over very

well in kyiv. but for now, heading to saudi arabia and at least buying some time possibly could get them intelligence back. so they have to show willing and they have to do what they can. at least they've been invited this time. >> yeah. yeah. because. yeah, exactly. all right. kimberly dozier, as always, thank you so much. we appreciate it. still ahead, mike myers, channel's doctor evil and his return as elon musk on saturday night live, the late night comedy show taking on the heated cabinet meeting we learned about in the new york times here in the cnn newsroom. >> welcome back. >> have i got news for you? news saturday. >> on cnn six. >> it's six. >> time 46. and paint it up.

what you know about him, knowing how he's run companies and worked previously? >> yeah. >> i mean, he embodies the typical tech bro nuance, which is we. >> move fast and break things. that's what. >> their mentality. >> has. >> always been. >> and so for elon musk to be told no or you don't have the. >> authority to. >> do that, or you need to cede. >> power and control. >> to somebody else that does. >> not sit well. >> with elon musk. especially because donald trump has. >> been publicly. >> empowering him, saying elon is doing a great job. >> but behind. >> the scenes, i think he recognizes that this power, you know. struggle between rubio and musk and other cabinet officials and musk might make it really hard for them to be effective in getting done what they need to get done. so i think this is going to be a huge challenge for elon musk, even though he's gotten some donald trump's favor and, you know, getting access to be able to get into these agencies. >> he's not going. >> to be able. >> to do the type of damage and the type of change that he wants to do. if you've got pretty serious pushback from folks like marco rubio, which, by the way,

tariffs. cnn's paula newton is joining us now live from toronto with more on this, paula. set the scene for us here in america. what to know about all of this. who's likely to become the new prime minister? >> yeah. so first, just let's set up what's happening. right. this is the liberal party of canada. it is justin trudeau's party. this is very much like a republican or democratic convention. but, jessica, so much more consequential. we will know in the next hour or two who the next prime minister of canada will be, because the liberal party is in government right now. when they choose a leader, that means for at least a little while, they have a new prime minister. what is happening, though, at this hour is that justin trudeau is bidding his goodbye. he has been prime minister for almost ten years at the helm of this party for 12. listen, it is bittersweet. many in the liberal party blame their fortunes, which haven't looked so good in the last few months, on the fact that he stayed too long, did not read the room and unfortunately
