arlette saenz at the white house. thank you very much. when president biden begins his speech tonight, we will have at least one heckler who is hundreds of miles away. we're talking about donald trump who says he will deliver a live rebuttal as his likely november opponent is speaking our national correspondent, kristen holmes is in west palm beach, not far away from mar-a-lago right now, kristen, how is this going to work >> well, first of all, it is not going to be a video rebuttal. this is just going gonna be on social media, truth social, which is a relief to some of his allies who thought that trump trying to respond in real time on video would be diminishing to the former president. now he will be again going after biden, going after what he is saying during the state of the union on true social, and a series of live posts. however, he since he's done this before, we have a little bit of a taste of what this is going to look like. now, i do want to note that speaker johnson has already asked members encourage them to be respectful o

as arlette saenz has just laid out, joining us right now is cnn economics and political commentator and washington post opinion columnist catherine rampell. let's talk about how joe biden is, according to all sources there's going to lean in heavily catherine into his economic message the economic wins, but also there's got to be the work to be done. let's start with the wins. what can joe biden do you think legitimately tout tonight and should at the state of the union when it comes to the economy on paper, the us actually looks pretty spectacular. i'm referring to things like unemployment, being below 4% for two years inflation still too high obviously, but has cooled significantly. gdp, a measure of the sun highs of the economy has beaten expectations quarter after quarter. and in fact, we are doing better today in the us than had been predicted in pre-pandemic forecasts. so on all of those metrics, the us looks pretty good you talk about on paper and i think that's part of the key distinction, right? because that the weakness, the weaknesses for president biden, the weaknesses that

cnn's arlette sciences at the white house for us this morning, arlette, what more are you learning at this hour about what president biden is planning to say? >> well, kate, president biden is expected to put the finishing touches on his state of the union address throughout the day, his team has worked for months to prepare for this moment, trying to identify the issues to prioritize in the president's speech, but also trying to craft a message that will convince voters that he is up for a second term. now the key focuses of this speech will be touting economic issues. the president in part is expected to talk about efforts to raise taxes on wealthy and corporations that includes new details that he will call for raising the corporate tax rate to 28% and also increasing the corporate minimum tax rate from 15 percent to 18%. the president will also use this speech to talk about ways to address everyday cost facing americans. and that includes on the issue of health care and prescription drugs, he will prod congress to expand the ability to negotiate under medicare more prescription dr

arlette saenz for us at the white house. arlette, thank you. >> this of course, a big opportunity for the president tonight. what can you make of it? let's bring in our panel republican strategist, former rnc communications director, doug heye, former white house deputy press secretary in the obama administration. bill burden, sarah longwell, she's republican strategist and executive if director of the republican accountability project, she's back with us and former abc news white house correspondent and compton who we are so grateful to have this morning and let's stick with this big picture theme for president biden. you've watched so many of these addresses. >> the >> stakes tonight for president biden as we head into what's arguably one of the most, if not the most consequential election we've had certainly in our lifetimes and it's always in a presidential election year, the stakes are really much higher and it's, it's a minefield because of a slip a problem of misstatement, a bad moment can do much more damage than all

arlette, good morning to you. i know you had a late night to how is the white house? how are the president's aides talking about the speech? last night? what are you hearing about what happens next? >> well, kasie officials here at the white house and on the campaign are quite happy with the president's performance last night, they believe the he went into that state of the union address and accomplish what he set out to discuss, including laying out a vision for the future, but also try fine to draw a direct contrast with former president donald trump, even as biden did not name trump by name, simply referring to him as his predecessor, at least 13 times in that speech. but the president really tried to paint trump as a direct threat to democracy and freedoms, and also tried to set up this contrast with him over the issue of reproductive rights it's which democrats believe will galvanize voters heading into november, the president on that, at that rostrum in the house chamber also tangled directly with republicans on everything from immigration to taxes. those are im

thank you very much, arlette. and as the president hits the campaign trail today in the coming days is likely november opponent is set to host a european autocrat. donald trump is preparing to meet with hungarian prime minister viktor orban later today at mar-a-lago in florida trump repeatedly has praised the authoritarian leader for his hardline policies and inflammatory rhetoric cnn's national correspondent, kristen holmes, is in west palm beach, florida for us, not far from mar-a-lago kristen, what do we expecting from this meeting today? >> if i'm talking to a senior trump adviser who described this as a quote, unquote, social meeting, obviously, pushing for details there. they said it was the friendly meeting between two people with no agenda. but of course, it is hard to see how viktor orban and donald trump could sit down with no agenda. these two powerful one, current leader, one former leader this is significant for a number of reasons why donald trump is not just the former president, but he is also the

cnn's arlette seinz, is that the white house for us joining us once again, arlette, what more are you learning about how biden hopes to keep the fire from last night burnings still today okay. president biden is hoping to build off the momentum from last night's state of the union address appearing today in the battleground of pennsylvania. but his campaign is also arguing that they've already seen signs that the president's fiery message was resonating with voters. a campaign official tells me that those two hours during in which the president delivered his speech, 09:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the east coast last night, were actually the most lucrative fundraising hours that they've seen online since this campaign launched in april, it is just one of those signs that the biden campaign points to for how the president's message is resonating with voters specifically, grassroots donors as well. but the president, or really a went into this speech trying to lay out his vision for a second term. but more importantly, really trying to present a contrast with warmer president donald trump.

arlette saenz joins us now from the white house. arlette, talk about this task force. >> well, dana, this is the latest attempt by president biden to try to show americans that he's working to lower cost in junk fees that they face in their everyday lives. this so-called a strike force will aim to try to curb illegal and unfair pricing on everything. as you mentioned, from prescription drug prices to health care, to groceries, the presence expected to speak about this a little bit later in the afternoon when he meets with this competition council here at the white house, i wanted the centerpieces of the announcements today is this effort to slashed credit card late fees from a current average of $32 to $8, that would save americans who are paying these late credit card fees about $220 a year. there's about 45 million americans who for paying these late fees. and it would add up to a total of 10 billion in savings over one year for the entire country. it's just one of the efforts of the president has tried to make to cut junk fees, w

with you arlette. arlette saenz there in chandler, arizona, getting a little while to ahead of the president's visit thank you for that report, obviously, very serious issues. they're dealing with today >> boris >> let's discuss sb4 and more with a texas lawmaker, democratic congresswoman jasmine crockett joins us now, congresswoman, thank you so much for being with us >> so >> before the fifth circuit appeals court put sb4 on hold, a majority on the supreme court had decided to let it be enforced >> i'm curious. do you think that's signals that the court is open to ruling that the law is constitutional i absolutely do believe that i think that this court has been pretty obvious in their signaling a little bit more >> obvious than maybe years past we saw it happen. definitely would it came down to the decision on whether or not trump would stay on the ballot or not with the colorado decision, they kind of gave us a signal. we know when the league decision came out as relates to dobbs. we kind of knew w

arlette saenz for us signs for us at the white house. arlette. thank you very much for that reporting. and of course, if you are just joining us here, we have been covering this breaking news just into cnn, nikki haley plans to exit the presidential race and later on this morning, she will address supporters at 10:00 a.m. eastern time in charleston, south carolina. we're going to take a quick break, but we're going to have much more of this breaking news when we come back cnn this morning is brought to you by vip guard. and vip guard high, true law? >> i've struggled with generalized myasthenia gravis. but the pitches started changing when i started on vif guard vivek guard is for adults, generalized myasthenia gravis or anti echr antibody positive gonna clinical trial vif guard significantly improved most part disappearance ability to do daily activities when added to their current gmc treatment most participants taking viv guard also had less muscle weakness >> and your guard treatment schedule is designed just for you in a clinical study, the

i understand let's go straight to cnn's arlette seinz over the white house. arlette, what's the mood over the white house this morning >> well, jim the biden's advisors are feeling pretty good about his performance last night, they believe that he accomplished what he set out to do, laying out that vision for a second term, but also trying to provide that stark contrast with former president donald trump. prompt biden never named his predecessor by name, but there was no mystery about who he was talking about a last evening. and one thing that his campaign team has pointed me to is the fact that they saw a real fundraising boots boost around the president's state of the union address, 09:00 p.m. and ten piano hours when that address was taking place? we're the campaign's best online fundraising hours since the launch their campaign, they argue that's a sign of the enthusiasm and energy around the president's messaging. but the president in his address also tried to quell some of the concerns people have about his age and stamina. you saw him come out with a v

arlette yeah john and biden campaign campaign officials, i've spoken with have long believed that super tuesday would be the moment that this >> race crystallizes in the minds of voters between joe biden and donald trump. and the latest proof point they got in that argument is the fact that nikki haley is expected to withdraw from the gop race this morning. and one task let's go ahead and for the biden campaign is trying to tap into those haley voters who have been turned off by donald trump also, those donors who may not want to donate to trump and they believe there could be a universe of donors that could start to give to biden as well. and senior campaign officials are really spoke to that in a memo last evening, as they painted the former president as a damage and unpopular damage a candidate, the two women leading the campaign, jen o'malley, dillon, and julie chavez rodriguez laid out their assessment of the super tuesday results, and in it they noted, quote, a significant share of moderate and haley voters across the country are saying that trump cannot count on their votes in a

cnn's arlette saenz's over at the white house for us, arlette guns is a major critic of prime minister netanyahu. and this isn't a sanctioned visit soon as they say. so, why is this meeting so significant? give us the background >> well, well, if vice president kamala harris will it will meet with israeli war cabinet minister benny gantz a little bit later this afternoon. he's also slated to meet here with national security adviser, jake sullivan at a time when the us is trying to pressure israel on several fronts. one being trying to get more humanitarian aid into gaza as to alleviate some of the human suffering there, but also as the us is pressing hard when it comes to a temporary ceasefire. now, this visit from gantz, israeli officials say is not sanctioned by the israeli government. israel's ambassador to the us michael herzog, has been told not to participate in these meetings. of course, according to sources familiar with those talks and it is as you noted, a notable that guns is netanyahu's lead political rival in israel. but the us is trying to hold conversations as they're tr

arlette will be awaiting his remarks. there in arizona. thank you for that report for us >> we're joined now by john sandwich. he served as acting director of immigration and customs enforcement or ice, under president obama. john thanks so much for being with us. i want to go back to that sound bite that ed lavandera played for us, where an appeals court judge asks a hypothetical question regarding sb4, and it seems like a folks that are arguing on behalf of this law for this law are struggling to explain it what does that tell you >> well, listen, if the state doesn't know how it's going to enforce this law, how is this going to fit into the broader ecosystem at the border? and how is it that you can say it's not going to create massive confusion? >> look, this >> is very delicate boss. there's a lot of moving parts here but the idea that texas could just adopt this kinda take on a big part of the border security role. what we're in do immigration enforcement really just from a practical perspective is ludicrous? this is a very complex s

arlette saenz. thank you so much for your reporting, john. >> so this morning, house speaker mike johnson republican house speaker mike johnson has reportedly encouraged house republicans to show decorum during the address. which is something they've occasionally struggled with, including just last year, seen as alayna treene is in houston where the republican national committee will gather for its spring meeting today. so what are the plans for the official republican response? not so much the shouting and heckling that might take place while john, we know that the former president is going to be watching this address at >> mar-a-lago with a small group of his advisers. and he's going to be giving a live play by play. his words of the speech tonight in his own response. and i'm told that that will be mainly on truth, social so where we'll see donald trump live posting on his social media site. let me just quickly read for you how he phrased it on truth social yesterday, the former president said, q

arlette was talking about it saying, after last night, they have a clear path to victory is what the memo pointing to nikki haley's moderate voters and them saying an exit polls that donald trump might not be able to count on their vote. republican voters saying donald trump might not be we'll to count on their vote. come november 1. big haley donor and fundraiser was on with us last night when we were sitting there. i want to play for everyone, his take on this. >> listen here's the struggle. >> joe biden is a cognitively impaired octogenarian whose policies i disagree with in the extreme i think is distance he's putting between the united states and israel now is disgraceful. i think the way he's handled ukraine is just simply not doing enough. he's always a day late and $1 short. and he hasn't been forceful enough in dealing with china. the border of course, is a crisis. he even, he now admits that so i can't vote democratic. so can i vote republican? can i vote for donald trump >> it's tough. >> he says he doesn't want, he doesn't want your support >> and how does he win? >> and

arlette thank you. our panel is back here, but the slip fuzziness there. >> i want to put up >> here. karen and matt for you an email that trump sent about this fundraisers. so he blasted this out yesterday and the language that he uses is just pretty intense. just look at that. there barack obama wants to spit in your face. bill clinton wants to utterly humiliate you i'll wake all or cricket. joe biden's laughing his way to the bank. >> matt. >> he's doing something pretty specific here >> the language >> is very harsh but what he is attempting to do is stoke that sort of anti elite sentiment that many of his supporters feel is it effective? is it the right thing to do? what do you see in that? >> i think first of all, he needs a low dollar fundraising, right? he wants us talking about these emails. he wants me that breaks through. so that's something number >> one, i think, especially as we talked about where the fundraising gap is between democrats and republicans, he needs the money number one, numb

. >> cnn's >> arlette saenz, is that the white house for us? >> arlette >> a very long sit down. it's a very long profile about this sit down from evan osnos, what more is the president saying? what are you hearing? >> well, kate, this interview really offers a window into president biden stinky thinking as the 2024 campaign is underway, it's very rare that he sits down for an interview in the oval office and rare that he said it's down for an interview with print reporters, but he did so with new yorkers, evan osnos, where he talked about the stakes of this election. the president really said that he is driven to run for reelection by two things. one, he believes that he has accomplishments that he can can tout and has provided benefits for the american people. he argues that those benefits are just starting to kick in now and we'll need more time to come to fruition. but also the president believes that he can beat former president donald trump. he said that he didn't once back in 2021 of the only people to be trump, that he does believe he can do it again. now this interview c

cnn's arlette saenz's at the white house for us once again, arlette, what are you hearing from there about the new jobs report just out well, i think that the president's state of the union outlined how they're feeling about the economy the fact that he was making these arguments, that the economy is starting to approve for voters. of course, it comes at a time when many americans don't feel that the president's policies are personally paying off for them. so we're still waiting to get an exact reaction to this jobs report, but it is likely well welcome news. but really what the president is now facing is a key test in carrying on that fighting and fiery spirit that was seen in his state of the union address last night, but a little bit later this afternoon, he was faces first test when he travels to battleground, pennsylvania for a campaign speech, where he's expected to really talk about some of that similar themes that he discussed last night. one of the central focuses of the president's remarks really were trying to make this contrast with former president donald trump, even as

arlette saenz. thank you for the report from chandler, arizona, boris we want to discuss with someone dealing directly with the uncertainty over sb4. bear county sheriff javier zola's are is with us now, has jurisdiction includes san >> antonio sheriff. thank you so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. i want to get to a dispute that i've heard from officials in texas. some more inland texas law enforcement officials don't think that sb4 is going to change much for them, that they believe that this is much more for border jurisdictions what's your view of that opinion? >> well i can just give you the view of from my county were a couple maybe maybe 100.2050 miles inland from the border in any given direction. and i think that this is going to just create more problems than what it's worth it's certainly not creating any solutions for us >> i am curious when you say that it would create more problems about how it works practically because it seemed as we heard a sound by moments ago that

arlette, what exactly is president biden is right now? >> well, wolf president biden wasted no time and trying to reach out to nikki haley supporter is saying that there's a place for them in his campaign. it comes as biden campaign officials really believe that this race has now crystallized after super tuesday between joe biden and donald trump. and one of the main challenges and tasks ahead for them is trying to pull in more moderate voters and potentially haley supporters who are turned off by donald trump into the biden fold. now, in a statement released moments ago, the president praised he haley for her role in this campaign. sais typically quote, it takes a lot of courage to run for president. that's especially true in today's republican party were so few dare to speak the truth about donald trump. nikki haley was willing to speak the truth about trump, about the chaos that always follows him, about his inability to see right from wrong about it. this cowering before vladimir putin biden goes on to say, donald trump made it clear

predecessor on some of you here, seek to bury the truth about january 6, i will not do that >> cnn's arlette seinz, lead us off at the white house for us this morning how do how do biden's advisers believe this all went? there was some hand wringing before the speech yes, sara, president biden's advisers feel the president accomplished what he set out to do and laying out a vision >> for a second term, but also presenting a direct contrast with former president donald trump. it was a highly political speech, one where president biden was quite fiery as he tangled directly with republicans on issues like immigration and taxes. but the president also really use this as a chance to draw that contrast with trump, even as he did not name his predecessor directly by name, simply referring to him as my predecessor, at least 13 times in this speech, really trying to set up those contrasts arguments when it comes to democracy, freedoms, and reproductive rights, take a listen to a few of those moments from last night's state of the union now mark processor a former republican president, tells prudent,

i know you will as well, arlette, thank you very much. in the meantime, as donald trump's legal reality begins to buy he's turning to truth, social to drum up support and cash, we'll talk about that actually live in the cnn newsroom >> check we hear nothing. >> a space shuttle accidents, usually not one thing. it's a series of events is that part of the wing coming apart >> space shuttle columbia have five no flight or mere sunday, april 7 at nine on c cracked windshield. schedule would say flight and will come to you to fix this customer was enjoying her morning walk. we texted her when we were on our her way and she could track us and see exactly when we derive a few we came to her with service that fit her schedule. >> pascal nice to meet you. >> we got right to work with the replacement. she could trust we come to >> you for free, scheduled now for free mobile service at safe flight.com it's like we pay are safe flight be placed with dry ice and dibs keep kelvin inflammation might be to blame over the counter. wide drops can provide t

let's get the reaction from the white house now with cnn's arlette saenz, are led what is the white house saying about this? >> wellbore is officials at the white house are still pouring through this recent decision by the supreme court, but it certainly will be a disappointment for the biden administration, the justice department had long argued that this law down in texas is conflicting with the federal and constitutional standards, noting that enforcement kind of immigration has been left to the federal government's in the past. now, president biden, right now, is in reno, nevada, bit north of where we are in las vegas. he just wrapped in events so we will see whether he might speak to reporters about this decision from the supreme court, but it does come at a tense moment in the 2024 campaign when border security issues have really risen to the top of many voters concerns. we know that this is an issue that has proven to be a liability for president biden. the republicans have tried to weaponize the the issue of the border against the president, but the president has tried to push for

we're just listening to arlette talk about this star studded event. we've got three former democrat or two former democratic? the president and joe biden all in one room with a bunch of stars showing up. and then in the same, at the same time here in new york, donald trump is here. he's been invited by the family of that new york police officer who was killed during a traffic stop all the while, there is a case going on in georgia involving trump and the 2020 election. when you look at all the things that are happening how is this being used? because it always is a how are the optics of this being used in spun? >> well, just fascinating split screens happening. so on the one hand, smart of joe biden, he's got a two-to-one cash advantage over donald trump on. i also think this is deliberate but to be appearing with two former presidents because no living republican presidential candidates other than sarah palin are backing donald trump. i think that there's some optics are trying to lean into their however, donald trump, the master spinner is going to

arlette? >> well, john, the white house has described this incident as alarming and tragic. and president biden yesterday spoke with the leaders of egypt and qatar. and in those conversations, the white house said that all the leaders discussed the need to really act urgency in the sense of trying to reach some type of agreement when it comes as to a hostage release, getting more aid in and reaching some type of temporary ceasefire. it really comes as the biden administration and officials from qatar and other arab countries have really been working around the clock trying to secure cure some type of deal between israel and hamas. now president biden yesterday told me that he does believe that this incident that left at least 100 people dead, that it will complicate these negotiations. but officials say it really highlights the urgency in which they need to act. this area a severely knee it's additional assistance to get to its people and the white house has been hoping that they would be able to secure some type of agreement in the near future when it comes to security, to

cnn's arlette seinz. is at the white house. so i let we were talking here earlier in the program about the fact that they were very quick and the biden campaign not only that they were quick to react to what donald trump did as nikki haley was speaking in continuing to attack her yeah, dana, the biden campaign and president biden are really trying to use this moment as a way to appeal directly to those nikki haley voters. there's a belief when the campaign that they have a lot of room to try to peel off some of those nikki haley supporters who are frustrated and turned off by the idea of a second trump term, the president did this in his statement where he praised nikki haley for her ability to call out trump during the 2024 campaign, and also made this direct request to voters saying that there's a place for them in his campaign, the president was also quite explicit, explicit in a social media posts wherhe wrote, quote, you don't have to agree with me on everything to know maga three msm is a threat to this country. we need e

now arlette saenz. thank you so much. we're looking at the video of that airdrop of aid that turns deadly at some point, with people desperate to get the aid, we will be waiting to see what happens in this meeting with benny gantz and vice president kamala harris. i'm sure you will get all the details for us. john all right. >> with us now is professor shibley telhami. he is the anwar sadat professor of peace and development at the university of maryland professor. thank you so much for being with us in a recent piece in foreign affairs, you said it was essential that the united states and the white house call for an immediate ceasefire in gaza. now vice president kamala harris has explicitly why do you say that so important >> well, first of all, the two things and sometimes they get conflated. there is the one thing about hamas and israel coming to terms, particularly about release of israeli hostages and in exchange for prisoners that hamas is demanding. but there is the immediate need for a season far that has nothing

cnn's arlette seinz joins me now, live from the white house. arlette, i know you have some new reporting on what else the president and his team plans to do to try to harness what they felt was a good night last night? >> yeah, dana president biden is hoping to build off the momentum of his state of the union address with what the campaign is calling a month of action for the weeks ahead that includes ramped up presidential travel, as well as trying to organize a volunteers and staff and also launching a new media campaign. it comes as the president really used who's his speech to draw that clear contrast with the former president without naming donald trump by name and that is really a game that campaign officials will seek to this afternoon as launches the first week long travel blitz, there'll be on the battleground of pennsylvania visiting the suburbs of philadelphia, of course, suburban voters will be key as he's tried to court moderates, independents, and also female voters in this campaign, the bite president biden is also slated to trav
