today, wednesday, march 5, 2025. rowdy return. president trump delivers a record-setting speech to congress, hitting on immigration to tariffs to foreign policy. the big moments making headlines today. among those watching president trump's speech last night, recently fired federal workers. >> does anybody feel like they understand better why they were fired after watching the speech tonight? nobody? >> the reaction to the president's defense of his sweeping cuts. as if tickets to taylor swift's era's tour weren't hard enough to get, how about a cybercrime crew allegedly ripping off fans and pocketing hundreds of thousands of dollars? that's a story we will tell you about. girl talk. it could be challenging for girls to feel confident about their appearance. how grown-ups can unintentionally make it harder. what we can do to change that. thanks so much for being with us. we are going to begin this hour with the widespread reaction to

president trump's address to a joint session of congress. it was the longest speech of its kind ever, going for arly two hours. the president touted what he sees as his successes from his first month and a half in office. he took aim at his political opponents. >> i return to this chamber tonight to report that america's momentum is back. our spirit is back. our pride is back. democrats sitting before me, for just this one night, why not join us in celebrating so many incredible wins for america? my fellow americans, get ready for an incredible future, because the golden age america has only just begun. >> there were also some made for tv moments. president trump told an aspiring soldier he had been admitted to the west point military academy. he made a 13-year-old boy being treated for cancer an honorary member of the secret service. leading us off is kelly

o'donnell. how is the white house feeling about last night? what did we hear from democrats in response? >> reporter: so far today, the white house is taking another victory lap with the press secretary addressing reporters and recapping the president's lengthy speech and touting what she says were the reactions of the public, citing polling. talking about broader polling, not just about the speech but on the direction of the country. talking about the fact that she says the president delivered on promises. an enthusiastic embrace of the president's remarks. some cheerleading from the white house about it as they want to build any momentum that can come from this kind of a large audience that the president is addressing. a pivotal speech, one of the pie light events of a presidency, even though we are just six weeks into the second term. strong indications there. democrats, of course, also showed their feelings in the floor of the house and in the

chamber with a couple of different displays. certainly, we saw democrats in unified color. some of the democratic women chose to wear pink. some were holding paddles to express different views, asking the president, standing up for medicaid as an example or accusing the president of not being truthful about his policies and his actions. the most notable, of course, was texas democrat al green who was ejected from the chamber because he had called out to the president repeatedly and did not take his seat. >> kelly, it wasn't just politicians in attendance. the supreme court justices wer present. i want to talk about scotus. a key decision came down. what should we know? >> reporter: this was brought about with respect to the president's desire to cut funding for foreign aid in the u.s.aid development organization. the court, in an unsigned,

typical for an emergency type measure, narrowly said that the administration does not have the ability to do this. they are putting the brakes on the president trying to slash this foreign spending and asking the lower court to better determine what are the obligations that the united states has based on congress appropriating money and having contracts to provide this different kind of service, whether it's food or medical aid or educational programs around the world. it's gotten a lot of attention. right now, the supreme court is pumping the brakes and saying the president has exceeded his authority at this point. they have to go back and find out what must they deliver on those in many cases already paid for supplies and so forth to get them to their original destinations. >> kelly o'donnell with the latest from the white house, thanks so much. it was a long speech last night. president trump made several false or misleading statements during his joint address last night.

here to fact check some of the remarks is jane tim. let's start with social security. i want us to hear some of the president's remarks. >> we are identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud in the social security program. 3.5 million people from ages 140 to 149. money is being paid to many of them. >> what's the reality check on that? >> social security has been around for a long time. there are millions of people in social security that don't have death dates on them. they seem like they are 150, 200 years old. they are not getting benefits. this is a long-known problem. inspectors general have pointed it out, advocated for change. the social security administration says it's expensive. since they are not doing anything with the names and

numbers that are in the database, they don't see the point. it's too costly to fix it. we need to focus on getting money to the right people. >> president trump ran on lowering prices. in another statement last night, he said former president biden is responsible for high prices. let's listen. >> joe biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control. the egg prices, out of control. we are working hard to get it back down. >> context is needed. >> yeah. bird flu is the context. the way you deal with bird flu, you kill hens. less hens means less eggs means higher prices. while grocery prices have gone up, pointing to eggs without mentioning this really important industry issue is a little bit misleading. >> let's talk immigration and take a listen.

>> since taking office, my administration has launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in american history. we quickly achieved the lowest numbers of illegal border crossers ever recorded. >> that's the claim. what do the numbers show? >> the numbers show he is right. really low border apprehensions. the numbers appear to back him up. experts will argue whether it's him or conditions driving people to leave. the numbers are low. he gets a win right there. >> thanks so much. this morning, the cia director said the u.s. is pausing intelligence sharing with ukraine. the trump administration announced a pause in military aid to ukraine as shipments of weapons and equipment were actively en route. it forced planes to turn back. president trump struck a more conciliatory tone last night. after ukrainian president zelenskyy signalled his willingness to sign a strategic minerals and rare earth deal and

begin peace negotiations. courtney kube joins us. explain to us the decision to stop sharing intelligence with ukraine and what the broader implications could be. >> reporter: the u.s. decision to pause at this point -- we don't know how long this will last. to pause sharing intelligence and sending weapons and equipment to ukraine, yes, it has a practical impact, frankly on the day to day fight there in ukraine. the bigger impact is really the message that this sends, not just to ukraine, but to allies throughout europe and particularly in eastern europe. on a practical matter, yes, the united states was sending weapons and equipmsending weapons and equipment. they were flowing things in. not at the same rate that we were -- we have seen over the last three years. we found out just today from a defense official that there was a shipment that was on its way to monday when at 6:00 p.m., it was turned around,

turned off because of this order to stop sending weapons and equipment, or to pause it. the intelligence sharing is a little different. while the united states may be pausing providing information directly to ukraine, the u.s. is still sharing intelligence with close allies. that information still is making its way to ukraine. in addition to that, a lot of the allies, frankly, have better intelligence about russia and about what's happening in ukraine than the united states does. the big question now is, if the united states is pausing it to ukraine, is ukraine pausing that same intelligence sharing back to the united states? they have a lot of information about russia that is useful to the united states as well. >> a good point. is there a sense of how long both these pauses might last? >> reporter: not at all. frankly, a lot of the decisions that we have been hearing about in the last several days, there's one school of thought they will only occur during the negotiations. we are getting some of the signals from the administration.

no one that we are speaking with is giving us any kind of a real signal, a real confident signal if the united states signs this minerals deal with ukraine and the relations get back on track that this -- the weapon shipments or intelligence sharing will suddenly restart. >> courtney kube at the pentagon. let's turn to consumer news. disney is making staffing cuts. the world cup is getting a halftime show. we have today's cnbc moy minute. >>start with disney. they are cutting 200 jobs across its abc and entertainment tv networks. bloomberg, citing an internal memo, reporting the majority of the layoffs affect the abc news division in new york and that impacted employees will be notified later today. the production units including abc studios, "20/20" and "nightline" will be consolidated.

welcome back. the white house just announced some exemptions from new tariffs on canada and mexico. specifically impacting the auto industry. the announcement came after president trump spoke with the head of the big three automakers as well as justin trudeau. brian cheung joins us now.

what do we know about this deal? might we see other exemptions? >> this is just breaking in the last few hours. we are waiting for more details. it sounds like the 25% tariffs on canada and mexico are still in place. there will be an exemption for automakers in compliance with the us mca. it's a trade deal brokered in 2020. any automakers in compliance, will not face the tariff. this was a big deal for tariffs that some had adding $12,000 to the cost of a car. it was a substantial deal. maybe that's the reason why the administration now wants to say, we will offer an exemption for them. i want to point out, that's only for a month. we will re-visit this and talk about it again at the beginning of april. >> a lot of kicking the can down the road. in the midst of that, there's uncertainty for american businessowners. >> absolutely. when it comes to all other products subject to the tariffs, we haven't heard anything like that. the tariffs implemented as of

midnight yesterday on fruits and vegetables coming from mexico, potatoes and grains from canada, those would be impacted here if you are a farmer, a small business, that has to import those into the united states. do you pass on that cost to your consumer? we have heard retailers say, yeah, we will do that. consumers will see some price increase. the president acknowledged yesterday to the nation there could be some inconvenience associated with this. aka, higher prices. >> as the president remarks on tariffs, we hear the list. canada, mexico, china. china absent from this list of exemptions. >> there hasn't been any concessions the administration feels they are getting from china that would warrant not having tariffs. the 10% still in place. china is firing back. the u.s. embassy -- the chinese embassy in the united states warned that whether it's a tariff war or even a real war, they are going to fight until the end. that's what they said on x. pretty spicy language coming

from the embassy there. this isunderscoring this is the beginning of the tariffs. >> thank you. vice president j.d. vance is in texas today, along the u.s./mexico border. his visit comes after immigration policy took center stage in president trump's address to congress last night. joining the vice president on this trip are secretary of defense pete hegseth and director of national intelligence, tulsi gabbard. joining us now, julia ainsley. first off, what is the administration trying to accomplish with the visit to the border today? >> they want to tout the low numbers after the president's speech last night that they actually have had the lowest number of encounters with migrants trying to cross the u.s. border in the month of february really than any number since numbers started to be recorded. there were just over 8,000

migrants in february. a big reason why those numbers are so low is because mexico is doing more to interdict migrants trying to get to the border and everyone is denied asylum when they are encountered, even if they come in through legal ports of entry. that's something to point out. the company that j.d. vance and the president is bringing with him can't be ignored. tulsi gabbard and pete hegseth, secretary of defense has been instrumental in the policies. they have sent troops to the border. they have involved in guantanamo. those plans could be coming to an end. they keep the emphasis on arrests in the interior and trying to deport more from the border. >> on capitol hill, a republican-led house company held a hearing focusing on sanctuary cities with mayors from the cities. >> the cities were very clear.

we heard from the mayors of denver, boston and others who say that their sanctuary policies are up to their own discretion. it's not fair for the federal government to be coming in. we have seen civil lawsuits in illinois and new york. as we know, the justice department has instructed u.s. attorneys to prosecute if necessary, if they think that local laws are getting in the way of i.c.e. doing their work in these cities. sanctuary cities that can mean different things. in this case, it's a fight the border czar wants to have. >> thanks so much. still to come, we will talk wellness. wellness. how to gh when migraine strikes, dodo you queion the trade-offs of treating? ubrelvy is another option. it works fast, and most have migraine pain relief within two hours. you can treat it anytime, anywhere. tell your doctor all medicines you take. don't take if allergic or with strong cyp3a4 inhibitors. get help right away for allergic reactions like trouble breathing; face, mouth, tongue, or throat swelling; which may occur hours to days after.

had a recall election, not this. i think it would set up a negative trend for the future, that any time somebody is not happy with somebody, they create a charter amendment. i voted yes, vote corruption out. sheriff cristina corpus is accused of abuse of power, of making racist and homophobic remarks, and of jailing the deputy union's president in retaliation for exposing corruption. many of these accusations are detailed in a 400 page report prepared by an independent investigator, who is a retired santa clara county judge. the sheriff repeatedly has denied those allegations, saying the attacks on her are politically motivated. we reached out to the sheriff through her attorney once again this morning to talk to her about the results of this measure. a election we have not yet heard back. in redwood city. kris sanchez, nbc bay area news. thank you chris. the rain will be on and off today. here's meteorologist kari hall with what to expect. we begin the day with some rain moving across parts of the bay area, but it will be clearing out and our

government efficiency. when you look at the faces of these people, most of them young, certainly all of them, the four i talked to, last night. these are people who represent quite literally in some cases the best and brightest brought into the government to have a lifetime in the civil service. a lot are perplexed, bewilders about why they in particular were fired. they felt their jobs were mission critical. i want to show folks some of what they had to say. watch this. president trump said about the federal bureaucracy, my administration will reclaim power from this unaccountable bureaucracy. it bugged you in a particular way. how come? >> for you to blanket statement saying the bureaucracy is untamed and doesn't have any tethering to anything, look at us. we are average americans that want to serve the american public. we're not allowed to do that. >> when the president said he saved hundreds of billions of dollars, your reaction was --

you shook your head. >> yeah. i think as we have seen before, a lot of those say things that they have touted have been removed as people see some of that discrepancy in the numbers. i think it's really important for people to go back, keep checking the website and hold doge accountable for things they are and aren't doing. >> president trump talked about something you worked directly on, which was critical earth minerals. he said that he was, quot expanding critical minerals and rare earths. but he fired you. that's what you were working on. >> yeah. i supported active research projects on identifying sources of critical minerals in the u.s., domestically. it bothers me he is more interested in engaging in neocolonialism to get minerals from other countries rather than supporting the scientists and researchers who are agd iding t minerals industry here. >> does anybody understand better why they were fired after watching the speech tonight?

nobody? what i heard from those four people is that they all felt like their jobs were about promoting efficiency in the government. whether it was alex taylor, who is working on critical rare earth minerals that president trump said in his speech last night he wanted to prioritize for the government. or jesus, working for housing and urban development. every single one of them had a function that they felt meant that they were making the government better and more efficient. i think there's a chasm between the reality of what's happening in their mind's eye and how president trump sees this effort to promote efficiency in the government. it's one i don't know we will be able to reconcile soon. >> thanks for shining a light on it. now to today's daily health. you have likely heard of inflammation or maybe suffer from it. it's typically seen as something negative. in reality, it does not have to be. that's why some experts say

inflammation is a double-edged sword. they believe fighting chronic inflammation may be key to healthier aging. joining us now is an instructor of medicine at ucla health. we hear a lot about inflammation. explain what it is and how it comes to be. >> yeah, we hear a lot about it. it's one of the buzziest terms in medicine. something my patients are coming into the office asking about. it's the reason tom brady famously made his own ice cream out of avocados tomatoes. it's helpful to break it down into acute and chronic. acute inflammation, you can see, it's your body's response to stress or injury. if you sprain your ankle or cut your leg on something, it turns red and swollen. that's good. that can be life saving. chronic inflammation or inflammation over weeks to months to years, that's different.

that's when we get worried about cell damage in our bodies. it's linked to chronic diseases you can see like autoimmune diseases. >> is there situation where inflammation is a good thing? >> yeah. that short-term inflammation, the acute. if you get cut by an object, you get scraped on the sidewalk, inflammation goes to that area, makes it red and swollen. it prevents bacteria from getting to the rest of your body. in the short-term it's good. >> we have seen a rise in anti-inflammatory die it ts and drugs. how can we reduce the bad kind of inflammation? >> that's the news you can use. you can reduce inflammation. it's not a simple on and off switch. diets like theed me mediterran exercising, avoiding highly processed food. eat as much whole foods as you can. >> love that.

briefly, maybe someone at home is watching, not sure if they are dealing with inflammation. what should they look out for? >> symptoms to watch for, chronic fatigue. brain fog. depression. joint swelling, joint pain. if you have any of those things, talk to your doctor. there are blood tests that can show some of the inflammation and get to the cause of what your symptoms may be from. >> keeping us healthy, thanks so much. if you have ever used stubhub, hear this. investigators say scammers stole hundreds of concert and event tickets that fans purchased off the site and then resold them for some big bucks. now they are trying to figure out if more are out there. joining us now, steven romo who has been tracking this. i understand this impacted a lot of swifties. also a lot of other music fans. how exactly did scammers get their hands on this? >> adele, ed sheeran, as well as sporting events. it's complicated what these

alleged scammers did. they are accused of getting links from stubhub and then working together. there was one suspect who was in jamaica. another one in queens. they worked together to use the urls and post them back on stubhub. they are accused of taking them off and then putting them right back. they are facing these allegations. authorities say they worked together as part of a third party contractor staff to get access to this from stubhub. they made quite a pretty penny off of this, according to authorities. 993 tickets taken. $635,000. this was in about a year of time between 2022 and 2023. a lot of people ended up having to deal with some trouble with their tickets. taylor swift fans have dealt with before. >> a lot of people, a lot of money. for music lovers, sports lovers, how does someone know if they may have been victim to this

in today's modern parenting, we are talking about body image and teenage girls. we have talked about the pressures and expectations young people, especially girls, can face growing up. it's something actress millie bobby brown addressed on monday after she received negative comments about her appearance. >> i refuse to apologize for growing up. i refuse to make myself faller to fit the unrealistic expectations of people who can't handle seeing a girl become a woman. i will not be shamed for how i look. how i dress. or how i present myself. >> joining us now is chelsea

gooden, the author of "underestimated, the wisdom and power of teenage girls." thank you for being with us. give us some examples of how adults, parents, those in a teen teenager's life say something that's harmful. >> i worked with over 100 girls for this book. this was one of the number one things they told me is that adults are constantly commenting on their body, on their looks, on their clothes. a girl will hear it as criticism. even though it is well intentioned. i'm teaching, protecting. she ars it as criticism. adult women remember that one thing said about our body. it sets up in our heart. not a good way. they feel that blame and shame so heavily. >> that's real. what happens when they do internalize it, when it becomes shame? >> then they form a negative relationship to their body or their looks or they are seeking

external validation about whether they are pretty enough or skinny enough when the truth is, one of the tools we can do is compliment style instead of beauty. that means something internal, how they express their identity, they express their authenticity. you look bold and ynamic rather than beauty language which makes them feel like their self-worth is tied to the unrealistic beauty standard. >> give us more examples of how adults can be mindful about the girl or just commenting about women generally? young people hear that when people comment on the tv or elsewhere. >> 100%. girls tell me that. watching their mom speak negatively about their own body in front of them makes them feel like that's norm a. we hate our bodies. no, we can end this. it has a lot do with having curiosity and phrasing, how does that make you feel?

authentic expression where you affirm that instead of, you look so pretty. we think we are helping by commenting and saying she's pretty. again, i go back to words that are more like, that's colorful. i love how that expresses your playful side of who you are. it's about her personality. style expresses personality. >> i appreciate that. you are giving us comments and questions we can ask. a lot of people go, i can't say anything. i want to compliment that i love the style of your blazer, but that's maybe a more productive way. >> right. i think millie bobby brown of bringing this up about how much shame is happening for the youth and her generation. it's not okay. it's not okay. the darkness of bipolar depression made me feel like i was losing interest in the things i love. then i found a chance to let in the lyte. discover caplyta. unlike some medicines that only treat bipolar i, caplyta is proven to deliver significant symptom relief from both bipolar i and ii depression. and in clinical trials, movement disorders and weight gain were not common.
