hallie. >> ryan nobles, live for us on the hill.florida now where there is a lot of action in the sort of world of presidential politics. president biden is wrapping up a quick trip to tampa. he was speaking just in the last hour again on social security and medicare saying he will, unsurprisingly, he is going to veto any cuts to those programs, if that were to ever make it to his desk. it comes after he's been calling out republicans all week for as he says, trying to plot to cut funding to social security and medicare to reduce the national debt. however, you've got republicans pushing back on that, right. a lot of them were saying that's not the party platform. senator rick scott who, you remember, initially floated this idea before walking away from it, tweeted earlier, challenging the president to a debate on all of this while he was in town. that didn't happen. let's bring in nbc news white house continue mike memoli. if rick scott ends up the presidential nominee for the republican party, perhaps we'll get the social security

i'm hallie jackson in washington. i want to bring in one of our chief white house correspondents, foreign correspondent janis mackey frayer is live in beijing, and gary locke, former u.s. ambassador to china. let's take a beat. lay out what we know so far about this chinese apparent supply balloon mystery situation. we are about to hear from the secretary of state for the first time on camera since he postponed his trip to beijing earlier today. the pentagon says they are still tracking this balloon. they also say it is not a threat right now to national security. china has acknowledged the balloon is theirs. they are saying this thing accidentally got off course. they're saying, no, it's not used for surveillance. it's for weather monitoring. our nbc news meteorological team is tracking weather patterns, saying it probably passed over missouri and tennessee earlier today. with that, peter let me start with you here. as we wait in the next couple of mince to see the secretary of state, what's the biggest question in f

i'm hallie jackson in washington. let's start with nbc's mike memoli with the president in wisconsin. chad brewster is in the key voting state. ali vitale is live on capitol hill and joined by nbc news senior politics reporter, jonathan allen. the president looking to ride a little bit of momentum from the state of the union, today in wisconsin selling ideas about the economy that he hit on last night in his big speech. listen. >> we're building an economy where no one is going to be left behind. my economic plan is about investing in places, people, that have been forgotten. as part of that plan, i talked last night about things we're going to do for families, just a little more breathing room. just a little more breathing room. at the end of the month, when everything is paid, you have just a little more breathing room. >> we heard him talk a lot about the economy in the state of the union, pointing out stuff that annoys people. resort fees junk fees, airline fees, et cetera. talk about the messaging here from the a

>> it's been brewing for a certain period of time, really since last spring, hallie.hat went down today, nothing yet. there's a 12-day special session that's being held in florida, to sort of tie up loose ends and deal with pieces of legislation that are of import to the governor and legislature. that does include what to do with disney, now the senate met for like ten minutes, maybe less, and what caught my attention was the fact that they did go through the docket, what's on the agenda for the special session, and mentioned the improvement district, the self-governing area for disney, and went through the specific bills that they're going to be examining in that chamber, and didn't mention anything about a bill regarding disney, which makes me wonder, have the supporters, the sponsors of legislation actually figured out the architecture yet. it's still in the conversation stages. governor desantis last spring pushed an effort that went through the legislature to dissolve that district. you go back to 1967 when disney was first lured here to develop the massive footp

but hallie, you know the footprint of the american president.o to a city that is still regularly being hit by russian cruise missiles. so the question then is there any chance zelenskyy would come to poland to meet the president there. we know the two leaders met in washington in december. that was zelenskyy's first known trip out of ukraine since the start of the war. i wouldn't be surprised if zelenskyy wants to be in the presidential palace on february 24th at his post where he was when the russian invasion began, when we all thought his government, his city, his country might fall in just a couple of days. hallie, just to update you on something we talked about yesterday, a lot of confusion about whether zelenskyy is firing his defense minister or not. one of his top allies in parliament said he was planning to push out the defense minister. zelenskyy actually went to parliament today and he said everyone should stop spreading rumors about what is going on with the defense minister. he does still seem to be in his post, and he met with his g

as i was saying, hallie, i don't know if we have time to show this interview that we have with president biden. we talked about a lot of issues. one of them being immigration. >> yeah, let's play it. >> and what it is going to look like. this is what he said. >> what is the policy that you're administration is going to have in the -- after title 42 is lifted? >> first of all, we engaged the parole policy. for those five, nicaragua, el salvador, venezuela and haiti and cuba. and the number of people have declined over 90% because there is a regular path to do it now. >> we still have to see what happens, hallie, after may 11th, when title 42 is lifted and so far the administration said that they will not be doing mass deportations of mexico migrants to mexico. according to "the washington post" there was a reporting saying that this was a plan of administration but we have to wait and see. >> julio, again from telemundo, thank you for being on the show. thank you as we're looking at the live moments with the brazilian leader arriving. thank you. >>> the wouse in the last hour announcing t
