79594061 call now it is friday, march 8, right now on cnn this morning >> issue >> isn't how long we are it's how old are ideas >> president biden full fire. did he do enough to calm fears? he's too old for a second term, plus the biggest increase in history it was then it seems to be the new normal at state of the union addresses protests, heckling, and a whole lot of politics also could

americans lose tiktok, the bill that could effectively ban that app picking up steam in the house all right a beautiful, shot look at that sky this morning here in washington over the white house and the washington monument. good morning. everyone. i'm kasie hunt. it's wonderful to have you on this friday. we made it the 2024 presidential campaign is joined from the dais in his state of the union. last night, president joe biden cleared what was really a very low bar for performance that his republican critics has set for him. he cleared it and more, he called the stakes, no less then the future of the free world >> and yes, my purpose tonight is to wake up the congress and alert the american people. this is no ordinary moment either. not since president lincoln, the civil war, our freedom and democracy been under assault at

home. as there are today. what makes our moment rare is that freedom and democracy are under attack at both at home and overseas. at the very same time overseas. putin of russia is on the march invading ukraine and sowing chaos throughout europe and beyond if anybody in this room thinks putin will stop at ukraine, i assure you he will not >> it was one of the most political state of the union addresses in recent memory. >> how my predecessor, a former republican president tells putin, quote, do whatever the hell you want my predecessor on some of you here, seek to bury the truth about january 6. many of you in this chamber hi, my predecessor, a promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom. my predecessor, many of his chamber, want to take those rep. prescription drug away by repealing affordable care act

that my predecessor's watching. instead of pain. politics and pressuring members of congress to block the bill, join me in telling the congress to pass it. would like my presidency i know we are as americans he had a particularly pointed message about what happened in that very building, in that very chamber, just over three years ago >> you must be honest. the threat to democracy must be defended my predecessor on some of you here, seek to bury the truth about january 6 >> i will not do that >> this is a moment to >> speak the truth and to bury the lives here's the simple truth you can't love your country only when you, when watching the house speaker mike johnson shake his head behind the president, as he says that quite something >> still last night wasn't all

deadly serious. one of the other objectives for the president as night of course this possibly the top line objective, which everyone i'm talking to says he met is to prove that he was fit for a second term >> i know it may not look like if i've been around awhile when you get to be my certain things become clearer than ever all right, our panel joins us now, democratic congresswoman debbie dingell is back with us along with new yorker staff writer evan osnos and >> republican strategist sarah longwell i want to start with you only because you spent so much time kind of profiling the president. what did you see from him last night? he clearly was basking in the moment it's and he came to do a task. it seems like he executed on it. >> yeah. i think from the moment he left the white house, you saw it a little skipping this step. i've got his way over there to the chamber. first thing he did is he says hello to everybody on two feet, including congresswoman, including congressman. look, he is he draws energy from a room like that

>> he sort of good gains some speed over the course of the evening, gave a long speech, gave it well, and stayed longer probably than anybody expected him to look the bar, as we know last night was to say to americans, i can do this. i've got the vigor, i've got the precision, and look, there are flubs along the way that's inevitable. but this is about giving there were a lot of americans who weren't sure what they were going to see last night. and i think a lot of people came out of their feeling reassured. >> congressman, what do you think he said to independent voters? i mean, they're sort of an increasingly small slice, but a lot of them came out and voted for nikki haley clearly, there are people in your state of michigan other swing states what do you think the president gave to those voters last night? >> well, first of all, i agree with evan. he did a great job in august as you know, i told you less nauta thought he would do a great job that audiences is element. and i wasn't surprised at how long they stayed because he he lives in a bubble and they don't let him talk to people in head all of his friends there. so it was happier. >> but i think he also laid out

a vision. he laid out his vision for the future. he did >> i think >> one of things all of us have not done a good job about talking about what we have gotten accomplished in the last three years. he reminded people evolve the things that we've gotten done called republicans on some of it, like lowering prescription drugs and the infrastructure bill fill in the money out there and most of you didn't vote for it, but you're taking credit for it now, that was one of my favorite lines >> but he >> laid out his vision and i think because it is a very stark choice between another four years of joe biden, what he wants to do, how he's going to support the middle class, how he's going to protect people's freedoms started in width, women's rights and women's freedoms and very much in that democracy was at stake. and made it wasn't afraid to call out you're right. he didn't use donald trump's name, but he told people and reminded them they were proud that they overturned roe versus wade. they want a national abortion ban that he wants to repeal. the affordable care act that is putin's friend and i could go so on. i think that

was a very excellent speech. and clear, stark contrast. needs to see sarah longwell, you've talked to a lot of republican voters and voters in general about what they expect from president biden than we were talking yesterday about how they had set the bar incredibly low what is your view of how he performed last night and how it's going to be received by some of these voters >> well, you can tell how well he did by how annoyed republicans are this morning and last night. you could just see how upset they were and i think look for a lot of voters they think the stakes are incredibly high. and i think the fear has been that joe biden can't hit you, can't manage where the stakes are, like, isn't good enough to take us through this moment. and last night, what he said was for the democratic base, but how he said it was for swing voters who needed to see that this guy was all there, that he could do the job and i

told you yesterday when i was on the show the republicans have made a mistake because they set the bar at dementia. >> and that if look if that's >> what dementia and i hope that's how i have dementia when i'm older because he was on his game, the energy and he did the thing that i think joe biden is particularly good at where he sparred with republicans he, he somehow managed to have it be incredibly political. he managed to be going right at republicans, but often was also joking with them, smiling at them, egging them on a little bit. and it gave this balance to the speech that i think just worked real really well for him. and it was offense. it was offense. he's been needing this shift change the tone, and i think he nailed it. >> you could see lindsey graham at one point you laugh and adam in the audience, right? it's like he's almost forgotten that they were friends for so many years before lindsey graham was suddenly very close to donald trump. there was one particular moment that he, he basically adlibbed because of something that happened on his way down

the aisle, he encountered marjorie taylor greene in a red make america great again, hat and a button with the name laken riley on it. she of course, was the nursing student in georgia who was killed by an undocumented immigrant. he took the button and then he did this from today is my laken riley an innocent young woman who was killed why? i'm illegal match right. but how many thousands of people being killed by legal to her parents, i say my heart goes out to you, having lost children myself i understand. >> evan, i've heard from a number of democrats already this morning that they didn't love the way the language that he used that he said illegal there. >> you've known him a long time. is that authentic to him? what was he doing there >> in some ways that was a moment that could have gotten a lot of different directions. he did use a word that did bother people bull immigration advocates don't want to hear

him use the word illegal. what he did do though was take a moment and acknowledged the suffering of that family. he put it in personal terms. he said, i've known i know what it means to lose children. and you'll notice it was over in a matter of seconds. it was not seeding the ground to marjorie taylor greene. it was not losing command of that space, which is really important in some ways, the measure of a moment like that is if you turned off the tv but it turned off the sound on your tv and you're just watching the people in that room. who would you think came out of there? confident and in control. and i think joe biden ultimately was able to manage what what could have been a very volatile time. >> yeah. i mean, in sarah, we know that the house speaker he basically told everybody to behave. do you think that that effectively happen? i mean, what how do how do swing voters perceive kind of what marjorie taylor greene did there? well, like i said, this yesterday, look, anytime joe biden has the opportunity to do a split-screen with marjorie taylor greene. he should take it because these swing voters, these sort of right-leaning into dependence soft republicans. they don't want to

be in a political coalition with marjorie taylor greene and people like her. and i think the stunt that she was pulling wearing a hat wear like what he did was he met her at her stunt and he colder on it. and i think it was a little unclear what he was saying. and i think that actually it matters less about the specific words he used them, the fact that he got into it with marjorie taylor greene, and he did the thing where he acknowledged her family and made it put it in personal terms. and so i think he got through that just fine >> congresswoman, can you take us down, come onto the floor in terms of the way that frankly our policy it's like so so deeply divided us mean there were we had reports here at cnn last night that there were members of the escort committee for the president who refused to take photos with him on the way in. you've seen increasingly those divisions on display. how does it feel different? i mean, you've seen so many of these now i'm not somebody that i talked to marjorie taylor greene, f screaming matches where it's at the bone, the capitol steps once or twice, but i think he

told >> me that i think it should be talking to everybody. i was struck last night i've never seen republicans at one. they were behave i mean, other than marjorie taylor greene and i wasn't quite sure what the dissenter in the gallery say that seems quite not quite clearly they just >> sat, they were very careful. there were a couple of moments where when they're talking about ivf and some of the women got up and quickly sat down and i've never seen such a discipline group of republicans that were responding to nothing. i felt it i was on the aisle, talked to those guys all the time and it wasn't they were uncomfortable last night was very clear that they were uncomfortable. there were people that agreed with some of the things that he was saying and i'll tell you what i've never seen in a normally security blocks as you can't get off the floor, public into or out of there in two seconds flat. >> president, state, and other hour. there was a republican to be found on that floor.

>> it is. i mean i'm glad you sort of laid it out like that because i mean, i've covered state of the union addresses since george w bush and honestly, usually there are many moments in speeches were both sides will stand up in terms of cheering for the country as a whole. really a sign of the times. congresswoman dingell, thank you so much for spending some time with us this morning. i really appreciate it, sir. and evan or stick with us and we'll be back with them in just a moment because as we've been showing you, president biden, was heckled during the state of the union again, and we've been talking about this already, but is decorum dead in dc? >> i don't know if i'm >> officially ready to put a stake in it, but i'm pretty close. plus, we'll have republican congressman ryan zinke live. we're going to ask donald trump's former interior secretary why he's backing the former president again and a united airlines flight losing a wheel well, as it takes off from san francisco we're here to get your side of the story. >> why do we keep ending up here >> you can't write this stuff. united states of scandal with

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 impromptu moments that biden's advisers have long believed he can shine in, showing that willingness to gauge. in these arguments. and then one of the key focus points of this speech was also just trying to address those concerns about his age and stamina, head on. the president was quite firing really delivering one of those political state of the unions in history. and he addressed those concerns about his age head-on saving, that this shouldn't be about his age but about making sure that there aren't old ideas in this country. now up next the

president will hit the road to sell all of this to the american voters today, he will be in the philadelphia suburbs and that important battleground pennsylvania tomorrow he heads down to georgia, vice president harris will be out in arizona and nevada really trying to build off this momentum to once we've got him sell their agenda and their vision to the american voters. >> all right, arlette saenz for us at the white house. arlette, thank you very much president biden at the dais in the house last night dealing with boos and jeers from heckling republicans at the same time, the overwhelming consensus from them is that it was a campaign speech. this morning. they are calling it too political >> this was a speech he was reading here to teleprompters right in front of him. he was able to practice this for days or even weeks ahead of time. this wasn't a dynamic situation, were tough porter's like you were throwing hardball questions at him and military families from my district puts in harm's way every day, there was no note of thanks and that was noted by me in so many people here tonight. >> very end angry joining us

now is cnn's lauren fox, who is on the hill last night. lauren. good morning. thank you so much for being here. can you just talk a little bit about the republican reaction here, what was felt in the chamber. they obviously weren't >> i think they would have been quick >> to jump on any mistake, president biden would have made thank to talk about his age, they didn't have that. so this is what we're hearing from them this morning. yeah. you know, a number of republican senators that i talked to as they were walking back to the senate chamber, a couple of them argued that they felt like he was mumbling, that he moved from topic to topic two quickly. those are some of the strategic things that they called out, but on the side of the substance, what you heard from a lot of republicans is they felt like he used the dais this moment to really launch his campaign. and a lot of them were pretty unhappy about that. on the flip side, a lot of democrats i talked to were pretty darn pleased with how the president performed. i talk to gerry connolly for this speech. and after the speech and he noted that he felt like

going into last night, he was pretty nervous about the president's performance. and at the end of the night, he felt like this is the moment that joe biden needs to channel all of this energy that he threw out and he needs to continue to do this on the campaign trail. joe manchin joked with me it really felt like the president had a lot left in the tank to give after that speech. and he's hoping it's going to use it on the campaign trail. so democrats very happy because they argued this as a political moment. we are in an election year. this is the kind of speech you live to launch your campaign >> swing members, thank and tough districts. >> yeah. i mean, i think one of the things to keep i is those folks who have to go and run with him at the top of the ticket and do they feel comfortable with where things stand? a lot of members that i talked to last night made very clear that if this is the joe biden, that they get on the campaign trail, democrats feel very good about that. on the flip side, i think republicans, they nervous to see very energetic president are out there running. all right. lauren fox. lauren, thank you very much for this this

morning. i appreciate it. >> all right. 22 minutes past the hour. here's your morning roundup. donald trump ordered to pay $385,000 in legal bills after losing a lawsuit in the uk the court order says the former president must pay the fee to cover the cost of his opponent's legal expenses. after he unsuccessfully took the consultancy firm, orbis business intelligence to court. the company was founded by the former british spy christopher still. trump also owes over half $1 billion from recently lost lawsuits in new york. a united flight loses one of its wheels as it takes off from a san francisco runway. >> you can see it falling off a boeing jet just seconds after takeoff. according to united, the tire was one of 12 on the main landing gear debris from the thai or landed in an airport parking lot. and i'm bug my car was parked there. the federal aviation admissions ministration is investigating and a little later this hour, we'll talk about aviation safety with transportation secretary pete buttigieg. i think he's talking about the

leader. >> all right, joining us now is montana congressman and former interior secretary under former president trump. brian zeki, congressman. thank you so much for being great to be with you. so let's be honest, the bar was set pretty low for president biden. what's your assessment of what happened last night? >> the bar was set quo and going into i think most americans wanted to see joe biden to see whether it's and he read he read the speech. in fairness, he stayed within the margins. he didn't didn't go off very far an either, did president trump, state of the union is criticized on every word you say? what i was interested on is the content in this case. and the content was classic tax and spend. the problem is the corporations the problem is the rich and the spending never stopped when you started calculating what we're going to pay for that, see, we're going to pay for mortgages. we're going to have new programs. we're going to have a climate corps. it went

on and on and on trillions of dollars in spending. that's a problem when we have a 34 debt, i know is a political speech. i had those those nodes to it. >> but overall, i think biden got through it but you look at the substance of what was it was it was pointed towards a more left agenda and that he's going to struggle with i think in the independence when the anwar on unwind exactly what was said. >> yeah, i will say i've talked to some republicans who say that there seemed to be a sense of disappointment from some republicans on the floor about the level of the president's performance. would you say that that's true? >> well, you know, i'm one of these americans that i like my president to do to excel. i like the country being strong. i like a border so when the president does well, i think that in the best interests of the country what i sometimes i raise my eyebrow about the heckling. i think america just

needs to take a deep breath. we can agree to disagree, but that's not be disagreeable. that's be respectful of others complain about people well not being respected or respectful for to law enforcement, to institutions. but i think it also starts in the house. and so we have to show leadership. >> yeah, i'm just going to say, do you feel like most of your colleagues agree with you? >> i believe so. i think america bully ablaze with me is look, you know, we have problems in our country. >> we >> do the problem winds are deep and we're not going to solve them on one side of the aisle. we're going to have to work together as americans, you know, i'm a former seal commander and i never asked when i was a seal commander who was republican or democrat, i didn't i didn't care that i don't care now, i do care whether you love the country and i do care that we have problems or we're going to have to address so former president trump is all but sealed up. the nominee, the nomination, the republican nomination. he at one point in the campaign told people who had supported nikki haley that they weren't

welcome in the party, do you think that that's productive or do you think you should be reaching out to those voters? >> what was the two things that there's of-interest? one, ron desantis was very hard in the press when he waived the white flag of president was very congenial, thanked him, was honored to get his endorsement retired the name and did the same thing to mitch mcconnell, who has not been i would think that the two had been at it for awhile. i think there's an opportunity for to repair the relationship between haley and the president. and i'm both >> rotors though, like he said, to her supporters, like, we don't want you basically, does that need to evolve if he was going to win, tone changes a lot, right? in, and tone is consolidating. and what's the message in the republican side where are we heading? the biden administration, we're worried we headed in the trump administration and you're right, it is how to get the moderate voters back engaged in, in our politics. and what's the direction that

countries should take? >> one of the biggest policy differences right now, it seems between current president biden and the former president donald trump as they enter for this race, is on the question of america's role in the world and especially the role of nato. this was right at the top of president biden's speech last night, you've worn the uniform you have served at the very highest levels. >> where are >> you on whether or not our country should continue to be part of that military alliance. >> nato is incredible we important for security of the west and the world. your crane is a said that what are the objectives and what's the plan look, i've been a seal and i've been a lot of missions in my life and i have i've never been an operation. why didn't have clearly defined objectives and a plan? in ukraine, or $130 billion in another $60 in ask, what's it? for, what to do and where's the end? because of the crimean peninsula is the dom boss because i assume

access to the black sea is imperative. both russia and ukraine. but next year are we going to be in this same situation? relation or we are we going to continue to go without clearly defined objectives and a plan. so i think there's a lot of, i think unity in the republican side. what does the money go for it? do we have accountability is a defensive aid. is it offensive aid are we going to give them strike capability and unchecked? a blank check to attack russia's heart. these are questions i think the commander in chief needs to answer >> former president trump is meeting today at mar-a-lago excuse me, with the hungarian leader viktor orban do you have any concerns about him taking that meeting? do you think it sends the right signals to america's allies and adversaries know. >> but i think one should be cautious that he does not. he's not president, he's a former president. so i have no problem with discussions you know about what's going on and

hungry, what's going on here from those that the limit every day. but he is not the president. he's a former president. and any official capacity, i think the tone should should be reflected when you say no, that it might not send the right message. what kind of message you think it does send, even as the former well, certainly the president has a say, a former president, he has a lot of influence his policies are starkly different than president biden's. >> but orban himself, i mean, the meeting with war bonds, someone who has clearly taken an off their authoritarian bend yeah, i i, i think it doesn't do any harm. i think it doesn't particularly help. one side, the president or the other, but it does show that the president trump does have standing in countries across the world and people are looking at the election very, very closely. will it be another trump administration, the windsor in his favor? and or we'll have continuing of a biden having a meeting itself.

it's there f words. >> i mean the >> biden uses the actual effort in private, but you know, fervent, fiery, feisty, right? i mean, that's the top line here. evan >> what is your sense of >> what this does for him? big picture. >> i think this was sort of proof of concept. the whole thing that's been lurking in the background was if joe biden gets out there with energy, with vigor, it can he persuade wary democrats? can he persuade wary independence or their people out there who will say, you know what? okay, i get it. he is an old man. he doesn't deny that fact. what they wanted to see was does he have the aumf to go up against a pretty complicated room? you've got a lot of people, they're looking to interrupt him, looking to doubt them and i think the verdict is in this morning. this went well for him >> congressman sara was noting earlier that there seemed to be some republicans that were disappointed that the performance for the president wasn't a little rougher around the edges, is that what you're hearing from your colleagues >> you know, i'm an american, i want my president to excel fair or not, so the bar was set low

and a lot of americans were looking at, is he competent because of the recent gaffes? >> and he made it over the bar and then what was interesting as i also tuned into the content and the content was very focused on the democratic base. there was a lot of tax in there for corporations to the filthy rich people to hear comes to spending, freeze. and you know, we're dealing with inflation now. sure. >> i don't think you could do a calculator how much spending a he talked about wet last night. so it was tax and spend but it went to the base of the democratic party. and i think on that message, that's what they wanted to hear. all right. so speaking of base, the democratic party, i want to show a little bit about what the president had to say last night about reproductive rights because this is an issue that clearly is going to the epicenter honestly of all of their campaign efforts in 2024, watch the president >> many of you in this chamber. and my predecessor, a promising to pass a national ban on reproductive freedom my god,

what freedom else would you take away? well, look, should decision overturned roe v. wade, the supreme court majority wrote the following. and with all due respect, justices, women are not without electoral, electoral power excuse me, electoral or political power. you're about to realize just how much variety so alencia johnson, he's right about that. we've seen the power of women in the recent midterm elections, both on this issue and also in terms of his predecessor, former president donald trump. and the fact that increasingly the divisions inside our parties honestly between women and men as much which is between education levels, et cetera. what did you hear on this particular issue from the president last night? >> i mean, he fully understands that this is the winning issue for democrats. it's winning and red states went directly put before voters on ballot

initiatives, it's winning in very close races. this is going to be the issue that gets democrats over the line. while as scary as it is for women who were seeking health care, right? they are unable to get this health care. it has been the political gift from conservatives to democrats because it is the one thing that is moving out not only our base, but independence and also a lot of republicans think that the conservative justices went entirely too far. >> sara, how do you think this lines up? because, i mean, on the flip side and actually let me bring in also sort of strength and weakness debate here, right? so we've got abortion where democrats are clearly feel like they're on winning ground. immigration is an issue right? where they really struggle. and there was an extended back-and-forth that the president had. we really saw his first high a profile attempt to hang the failure of the border bill around republicans. and jim james lankford was invoked and seeing on screen, let's take a look at that exchange the result was a bipartisan bill with the

toughest set of border security reforms. we've ever seen >> you don't think so? you don't like that bill? that conservatives got together and said was a good bill i'll be darned. >> that's amazing. that bipartisan bill would hire 1,500 more security agents and officers, 100 more immigration judges help tackle the back of 2 million cases, 4,300 more asylum officers and new policies so they can resolve cases in six months instead of six years. now what do you again me right there? >> i almost want to just capture that and like show it over and over again because he said that's true. and this is the thing >> republicans really hung out. lankford to dry. there was a bunch of conservatives who worked on this bill who tried in good faith to get real border security to negotiate

aid for ukraine through this. and because donald trump told them to bagging, to scuttle it, they didn't want to give them the political win they let the whole thing go. and i thought that biden going on offense about this last night was one of his best moments because they that is huge vulnerability. i mean, immigration is a real vulnerability for biden with swing voters. and he has got to be able to tell the story to voters that i tried to do something about this. and republicans would not let me, that is how he defuses that great vulnerability. but he did a good job of that last night. >> congressman, i mean, you're here saying, i hope the president as well. >> would you argue that >> you know, i mean, how do you feel about the fact that there was a chance here to do something real on the border. that's look at the bill >> all right. you allowed 1.8 million illegals in this country before he took action if codified catch and release, it didn't fix it. >> you asylum it wasn't an immigration bill. and let's be clear, the president has asked for 30 shut down the border. narrative. authorities. he has

chosen not to there are certainly steps that you could take via executive action that he hasn't evan, can you jump in here in terms of how i mean, there were some serious concessions from democrats to republicans in this clear assignment democrats made some concessions. is that a lot of immigration advocates didn't like the bill james lankford, let's remember, was in worst by one donald trump for reelection. he was described as strong on the border. he was put into do those negotiations. i think he was in good faith doing that process, thinking he could come up with something that the president could sign as he described it later, it felt like being driven over by a bus and then having the bus backup over again. so we saw him there today or last night saying that's true. and i think that there's a reason why the border patrol union endorsed this bill to they need these resources. i think a lot of americans are going to be asking over the next few months, look, there is a bill on the table why can't we get this thing done? >> well, there is a built a table, it's called her2. and

the way the process is the house passed instead, the senators both to pick it up and put amendments on it. that's the way the process works when us senate concocts their own. again, that codifies catch and release. we all know that's a mistake. you got process in third countries, you can't allow 1.5 million people in this country before you take action. >> the reality is though, is you are correct about the actual process in the house. but this bill was the most realistic possibility to actually make a law because of the way our system is set up jumping at what was the last time you saw the opportunity to pass immigration reform, this substantial by substantial, you mean call me, get you know, i mean taking steps forward on immigration. i mean, if funding judges, you believe, number one, what you do is you incentivize illegal crossings. there are hundreds of thousands of people that a processed there. their application that have been bedded, there are waiting to come in this country that would be value-added. >> we >> should focus on people that

do it by the law, keeping the border right now, there is no border. >> so chaos. >> so this decision improvement, would this bill have improved at substantial i don't believe so. >> i think it would have codified catching release it gets the actual substantive critique. >> yeah, i suggest you read the bill. >> it's >> that simple. read the bill and then come back and tell me how 1.8 million people crossing the border before you take actions. a good deal. >> that's more than the population of montana, wyoming combined are very conservative. >> senator thought it was a good deal. that's what i was just going to at the end. and let's put a put about on this conversation, congressman, i appreciate you being willing to play on this, but she's right. senator lankford, why did he support this if that's all true, he is very if you want an a borders, i would suggest maybe you go to texas or someone that lives in the border, and i like senator lankford. i think he did his bet the best job we could do, i think to fall short, fell short absolutely was the bill going to pass? know? >> i think we should go back >> to h.r.-2 and the senate should do their amendments on

it and what process. and then we can get a bill that we all live with. we all agree. border is a mess. >> i will i have to say i've covered so many of these accents 2005, if there was ever a chance, it was going to be now. but here we are thank you very much for your time. evan osnos, sarah longwell. i really appreciate it. let's your johnson. thank you very much. up next, the president's transportation secretary, pete buttigieg joins us right here live the, future is not just going to happen. you have to make it and if you want a successful business, all it takes is an idea. and now becomes the future of future where you grew a dream into a reality >> it's waiting >> for you mere minutes away >> the future is >> nothing but power and it's

in tel aviv, and this is cnn >> close captioning brought to you by rula law. i kind of brands up to 70% off retail at rula law.com, at rubella >> you never faithful these. the deals on top before their car. >> shoppers? >> welcome back. starting this weekend, biden cabinet members and senior administration officials will fan out across the country to talk about the president's infrastructure investments in domestic agenda issues. that of course were front and center during his state of the union address last night? >> bipartisan infrastructure law 46,000 new projects have announced all across your communities and by the way, i noticed some of you strongly voted against it. are there cheering on that money coming in? >> granted. you don't want that money in your district? just let me know

>> that, man that you saw right there joins me now, transportation secretary pete buttigieg. welcome. thanks so much for being here >> morning. thanks for having me on. >> of course. so, mr. secretary your assessment of the president's speech last night? it's it seems to have been even acknowledged by a republican guests that he met the bar that was set in terms of energy level, what did you feel in the room and how would you characterize it? >> you know, we're over the white house before heading to the capitol for the state of the union. and some of the president's aides who had been involved in drafting the speech were clearly excited about it felt like it was going to be a great night. and sure enough, in the chamber, the atmosphere was electric. the president displayed, i think the kind and its strength and clarity and command that is expected from a president, especially to pivotal time like this. obviously, i was especially thrilled to hear him putting in

perspective the achievements that have taken place on the infrastructure front, but really across the board on issue after issue, he laid out both achievements and an agenda for the future that have strong support from the american people and challenged congressional republicans to shift course and back him up on those ideas. whether it is a tax code that rewards work not wealth, whether it is getting resources to secure the southern border, whether it is protecting the right to choose, it really it was a great night for the president. >> mr. secretary the house speaker, who of course we saw react throughout the president's speech behind him, spoke to reporters after the speech, and he characterized it this way. watch well, we are disappointed. i mean, look, usually in a state of the union, you have it three segments of it better bipartisan, where we can unify and breon president biden being not a hyper partisan speech, i don't know enough to describe

it was a campaign speech. and integrating yes. vitriolic one >> what do you say to republican critics who say it was divisive >> well, the speaker's comments are literally false because the president talked about a bipartisan infrastructure, a bipartisan border bill. his bipartisan unity agenda on confronting things like fentanyl and cancer matter of fact pretty much everything. as far as i recalled that the president mentioned, it's only probably 60, 70% of americans or more would support now, it's true that he's certainly pressed congressional republicans on, for example, their deeply unpopular proposal to cut taxes for the wealthy and corporations. but while that that might be an issue that has strong partisan lines in congress out in the country. most americans, democrats, independents, and republicans disagree with congressional republicans agenda to cut taxes for the wealthy and agree with the president that it is wrong for billionaires in our biggest

corporations to be paying a lower tax rate than firefighter there's an teachers mr. secretary, the other issue that dominated in some ways the evening was of course, immigration, with it being something that democrats and polls tell us. voters trust republicans and it's politically the former president trump over current president biden on this issue. biden himself seem to take that head-on when he was confronted by marjorie taylor greene along the aisles. i want to show you that moment and then i'll ask you about it. watch >> making laken riley, an innocent young woman who was killed why? i'm illegal. >> that's right. >> but how many thousands of people being killed by legal to her parents, i say my heart goes out to you, having lost children myself i understand >> are you comfortable with the use of the term illegal in this context

>> i think the president was responding to what was being hurled at him from the house floor and responding as he characteristically does with compassion to a tragic case that shouldn't be used as a political football. but i think more broadly what he did when it came to immigration and the border was reminded, congress and americans that even if there isn't total agreement, even a lot of people who might not agree with our administration's approach, there was bipartisan consensus that most americans would the port and that conservative and democratic members of congress supported that is currently being blocked in congress. that would make a difference. maybe it wouldn't fix everything, but would improve things at the border. and he laid out that if that got to his desk, he would sign something that includes tough compromises that neither sides based this might love, but it would make a concrete difference at the southern border. and i think it's the difference between having a problem that you mentioned or invoke or use and having a

problem that you actually seek to solve, which is president biden's approach to the border issue? >> can i ask you as we wrap up here, just to put on your actual day job hat for a second because we've been showing everyone this morning this very alarming video of this tire are falling off a united plane yesterday, landing in a parking lot and crushing some cars there also has been an audit of boeing that has identified multiple non-compliance issues and gaps, would you feel safe should americans feel safe boarding boeing planes right now? >> i bought a plane every few days and i know that i'm safe because of the work that faa does, the work that flight crews do, and so many others, that is the reason why flying on an airplane in america is the safest form of travel in the world, but what happened in this footage and several things that have happened with boeing aircraft are completely unacceptable. and it's why the faa has had boots on the ground

at boeing facilities, conducted an audit in a deep dive a few days ago, our faa administrator, mike whitaker, sat down with boeing's leadership, gave them 90 days to come up with a comprehensive plan that we'll speak to these issues that we really are concerned about. about that we're seeing when it comes to quality control, when it comes to processes of boeing needs to demonstrate what they are going to do to fix these issues. and we will not let them increase their production until they satisfactorily do so >> yeah. i mean, i will say the number of near mrs. on runways and in the air and other places. certainly, i'm glad that i'm not we're not covering actual mrs. and injuries for the most part. people have been saved, but it is definitely concerning transportation secretary pete buttigieg mr. secretary, thank you very much for being here. >> thank you >> thanks to all of you for joining us this morning. i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. cnn news central starts right now
