5:00 am
crowds or took over parts of miami beach including ocean drive here that ended in back-to-back shootings. and as a result of that violence, the city of miami beach had to declare a state of emergency and they enacted a curfew. and so going into this year's spring break, city officials implemented a number of new security measures, including these curfews, limiting beach restrictions as well as the closure of several parking garages. sara, the mood out here is one of some hesitation about how the next couple of weeks are going to play out. we expect the biggest crowds to show up here, despite all of these security measures taking effect this thursday or this thursday, rather going through the weekend and the rest of the month to be he in the second and third week of march carlos >> suarez. thank you so much for your reporting, john. this morning, some unexpected political news. george santos is running for congress. yes, that george santos, this
5:01 am
fabulous, who was expelled from congress after a series of lies and federal indictments that george santos, he was actually in the house chamber last night for the state of the union because he's still has floor privileges. go figure. he announced he is running for congress in new york's first congressional district. lauren fox in washington, with the details, i guess my question, lauren is really yeah, it seems that george santos has not gotten the hint from his republican colleagues that they are not interested in him coming >> back more than 100 republicans voted to expel him from the house. just a few months ago, but he announced last night he is running a primary challenge against one of the new york republicans who lead the charge to get him out of the house that person nick lalota of new york's first district in a tweet. lynda made clear he's not afraid of challenging george santos. george santos responding, pathetic little man, since you refused to move to the district, i'm coming in hot
5:02 am
lota is a democrat, right? rhino within abysmal record now, obviously george santos facing a series of allegations against him 23 federal charges. he has pleaded not guilty, but this is something as the fabricator as someone who lied about his resume as someone who is now facing these charges. because it's gonna be hard to beat lota in a primary, but george santos making a little news last night at the state of the union. >> all right. lauren fox. thank you very much. great to see you. a new magical hour of cnn news central starts now >> president biden is hitting the road oh, to take his fiery message from last night directly to voters today. >> while the president is doing that, the former president donald trump, welcoming the far-right authoritarian prime minister stirrup, hungry and key putin ally to mar-a-lago. but why is he meeting with
5:03 am
trump instead of the president currently in the white house in an army sergeant prosecutors say wanted to be a real life jason bourne is now charged with selling classified military secrets to china. i'm john berman with kate bolduan and sara sidner this is a special friday edition of cnn news central >> lots off and game-on. apparently, the word of the night and still this morning seemed to be fiery fiery president biden delivering his state of the union address and the heat continues today as he takes his message on the road, biden heads to pennsylvania very soon we showed this map behind me, lighting up 22 states from coast to coast by the end of this month, someone from the white house will be visiting each one of those states i think that is it a football term flooding the zone. we're gonna go with that as they clearly move into
5:04 am
general election mode. president biden did not mention donald trump by name last night, but may no secret that trump was a central focus of his message. the entire speech. 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
5:05 am
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. he never mentioned him by name, simply referring to him as his predecessor about a dozen times and really trying to lay out the stakes of this election when it comes to democracy, protecting freedoms, and also reproductive rights, take a little bit of the message the president had about his predecessor last night >> 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 >> the bury the lives. here's the simple truth you can't love your country only when you, win. i will not demonize immigrants saying they are portion in the blood of our country i will not separate family. my predecessor told the nra he's proud. he did nothing on guns when he was president
5:06 am
>> the president also had some moments where he directly tangled with republicans on issues like border security and taxes. those impromptu moments at times when he was heckled by republicans those are the types of moments where the president's advisers believe he shines, showing that he is willing to engage in those fights. the president also tackled head on the concerns about his age trying to defuse it with a bit of humor while arguing that this campaign is down about someone's age. but whether they're presenting old ideas now today, the president will hit the trail. taking this message directly to the voters. that'll be in the critical suburbs of the philadelphia area. you'll have vice president harris out west and arizona nevada, the president tomorrow. heading down to georgia and they're fanning out administration officials throughout the month of march, really trying to promote the policies of the biden administration. of course, the president will be out there trying to bring that direct contrast with trump. i imagined when he's in a campaign setting, he might be saying trump's name more directly,
5:07 am
but really, time will tell how much this strategy is resonating with voters as polls has recently shown, that he's very close contest a hypothetical contest at this point, i guess the former president in november arlette. >> thank you so much, arlette saenz from the white house for us, republicans trying to highlight and trying to highlight the speech as well. >> very different reasons. >> a >> that is true. and in contrast, the republican presidential nominee in front runner almost donald trump, welcoming a key putin ally to his mar-a-lago home, the far-right prime minister of hungary, viktor orban. the meeting comes as other european leaders worry about about trump's possible return to the white house and what that might mean to the nato alliance. and ultimately the war in ukraine. cnn's kristen holmes is joining me now. what do we know that this meeting and why why now? >> well trump's team is painting this as a quote, unquote, social meeting.
5:08 am
that's one senior adviser told me now i asked for more details and they said it is a friendly meeting, nothing official with no agenda. and betsy klein over at the white house, just learned that there was no official invitation from this white house, and we've also learned that orban didn't request to meet with joe biden or anyone from the administration. the trump side, there is a lot of significance against now, because one, donald trump is the former president hosting a world leader who is not meeting with the current president too. as you mentioned, he is now the presumptive gop nominee. he could be a world leader again. and this gives us some insight into how donald trump wants to run the country. donald trump has long been a fan of a strongman, which viktor orban is. he has said and rallies, i'm gonna read one thing he said, some people don't like him because he's too strong, but it's nice to have a strong man in control of the country. he has praised him for his various policies and the ciu seemed to be playing out of the same political playbook. now, what we expect today closed-door meeting told that they might release some photos, they might give us some sort of readout. but again, this really
5:09 am
gives you an idea of where trump is aligned meaning he himself, if he is to get elected again in november. >> thing about saying there is no agenda, there is always an agenda when two people of this caliber meet one another, we will see what that is at this plays out, kristen holmes. thank you so much your reporting. john >> so what can the precedent state of the union address due to energize democrats for the 2024 election. we we will ask the highest ranking democrat in america who was not on the podium. so your cat videos in jeopardy because of real fears? for china, congress takes a huge step toward kicking tiktok off your phone and in-between college classes, a student won a congressional primary. will you have to skip? the senior year to go to capitol hill >> erin burnett outfront tonight at seven on cnn

5:15 am
so. senate majority leader chuck schumer joins me now, senator, thank you so much for being with us before the address. white house officials were previewing all the energy that as it a biden would show after the speech, the democratic reviews were all about the energy that president biden showed in the speech. why is it so important to point out the energy >> well, it's infectious. i walked into that room. i've been to a whole lot of these speeches, but i was so excited by how biden presented himself and what he said the speech showed that america is strong and biden is strong. and anyone who's dentin that room would have no doubt that biden is ready for a great second campaign and even more, a great second term. he was filled with focus and louisiana them for doing the things he truly believes in helping the middle-class making america strong. and the contrast with trump trump, who wants to give in to putin? trump. and he said it directly without mentioning trump's name, who lie about
5:16 am
the election. he mentioned lying about the election. you should have seen the republicans faces in the room. they all looked down they were stolen. there were selling the whole speech, but they knew he was telling the truth and they were going along with the big lie. so the contrast, the strength and the focus on the middle-class we democrats walked out of that room exhilarated. this is the joe biden, we know this is the joe biden. we're going to see over the next six months on campaign trail. and this is a joe biden, we're going to go to govern with when in a democrat accounts democratic senate, democratic president in 2025. >> is it? i'm still >> enthusiastic this morning as >> i could tell, is it that joe biden, as you say, that you feel has been missing or democrats feel has been missing in the last weeks and months joe biden is intent on governing and governing well. and in his three years, as you know, he's had a record the amount of accomplishments i might add helped by our senate majority have that he has had are enormous. but when you focus on governing, you're focusing on governing. we're
5:17 am
now at a time when we know who the republican nominee he is. it's donald trump. we know we're only six months away for an election and you're going to see the joe biden we've seen this joe biden before. i saw him when i was a young house member, i saw it when i was in the senate through the years before i became leader. and we know this is the joe biden when he goes out on campaign trail, is great. so i don't have any problems with what but it he has done creating a great record and now campaigning on it. >> so campaigning on it is exactly the criticism that he is getting from some about this speech because this was a state of the union address, which is a constitutional responsibility, not a campaign responsibility. and republicans took issue with that. mike johnson called it an overly partisan speech center. eric schmidt said perhaps the most divisive state of the union i've ever seen tom emmer, one of the most divisive state of the union address because in history, gary palmer, state of the union speech and walked away, walked into a campaign divisive. divisive coming from the republican house, which has
5:18 am
been the most divisive body we've seen in decades when all democrats are united, give me a break. they had nothing to say. they couldn't criticize the speech that couldn't get up and do their usual histrionics because it was so powerful. so strong, so aimed on the, aimed at the money, what the american middle-class needs that they had virtually really no answers please give me a break. they didn't have a real criticism, so they call it political or divisive pat pot calling the kettle black, the republican and house members calling joe biden divisive. give me a break. >> you don't think there is a line between a political speech and a presidential speech. >> that speech had more substance on what the president has done on how the economy is growing, on how he wants to conduct the ukraine war on how he wants to deal with the major issues. and then on what he wants to do. then most other speeches? yes, it was strong. yes. joe biden showed himself
5:19 am
fully in command and able to handle any of the republican cat calls the silly catcalls that they had. but it was not lived, lived up to all of the constitution we shall responsibilities >> but russian calling on all members of congress to not fight about it, but to fix it. you're a realist. you know, what can and can't happen is there any chance? to get this bipartisan bill back on track. >> i hope so because as you know, i encouraged it. and i think it's a great bill. the democrats have put together a bipartisan bill. we in the senate that generally had republican support. and look who supported it? john, you know who the fount of hard-right conservatives in minutes? america, the wall street journal editorial page did two or three editorials listing all the reasons this was a good bill. the border patrol union conservative right-wing, pro-republic look in pro trump supported this bill. that chamber of commerce, the business community
5:20 am
supported this bill because it's a bill that is strong and tough and frankly i think we have a chance to get it because you know why we're now on our front foot on immigration we have said we will do something tough and strong that critics say will work. and what are the republic? look into? they first could say, oh yeah, this is a good, tough bill. donald trump comes out. he almost gave us a gift. he said, i don't want this to happen because i wanted to save it for the election shan next year, i want to see chaos at the border. donald trump in the republican party who say the border is a crisis. now say, let it hang out that way a year for political advantage american people aren't going to buy it. let me ask you, pushing this issue and i think we can succeed. >> let me ask you about donald trump here in a way. the minority leader mitch mcconnell is someone you have had a working relationship for years can you ever personal relationship with sinner o'connell, despite some serious differences with donald trump, just came out and endorsed his campaign for president. how do you feel about that? >> look, i'm not going to second guess leader mcconnell.
5:21 am
he has said a lot of things that republicans had a here, particularly on how donald trump didn't the, how we had donald trump didn't steal the election, how we had to make sure that the electoral process went forward at those dark days in january 6, when the insurrectionists, me who's glad joe biden made no mistake about it. those were insurrectionists, not tourists mitch mcconnell's stood up for the right thing to do but, you know, i'm not going to agree with most things he does and i don't agree with that one. >> do you feel like he had to endorse donald trump continue have taken a stand. >> you'd have to i'm not going to second guess, mitch, you so ask them. >> all right. center. chuck schumer from new york. thanks so much for being with us this morning. have a great weekend >> happy, great morning >> thank you. okay >> exuberant. chuck schumer good. you have john coming up for us, an army sergeant accused of selling military secrets to china. prosecutors say it was all driven by a desire to be a real life jason bourne a mother's desperate

stopped by granger for the ones who get it done >> sunday, why is china targeting taiwan? and if the conflict boils over? what's at stake for america fareed zakaria presents an in-depth look. taiwan, unfinished business sunday at eight on cnn us army sergeant is accused of selling government secrets to china for $42,000. prosecutors say 24 year-old korbein
5:27 am
schultz, said he wanted to be a real life jason bourne. and this has been a strange couple of weeks of similar headlines his indictment comes after it comes just days after federal prosecutors charged a retired army lieutenant colonel was sharing classified information on a foreign dating site. you'll likely remember cnn's natasha bertrand is at the pentagon with more on this. natasha what are you learning about this new indictment? >> well, kate, this is an army sergeant, as you said, who is also an intelligence analyst with the 506th infantry battalion, and he apparently developed a relationship with someone who was only known as conspirator, a in these charging documents, but who was posing or at least was saying that they were a foreign national living in hong kong and over the course of over a year, this individual was selling classified information and classified documents according to prosecutors to this individual. and those documents largely related interestingly to the war in ukraine. this this individual conspirator, a allegedly for
5:28 am
national, he was asked getting korbein schultz, who this army sergeant for information relating to advanced american weapons systems and interestingly, information related to the lessons that the us has learned from supporting ukraine in its war against russia, that could then be applied to supporting taiwan against a potential invasion by china. and so this was according to prosecutors, really developed scheme here in which ultimately korbein schultz was paid $42,000 for these documents that he was providing to this foreign national over the course of a year, those payments got larger and larger according to which kinds of documents he will be providing this handler conspirator a he was asking for more and more secret information that he could then use for his own purposes. and so what we're learning, of course is that it was appear, appear to be motivated simply by money and also apparently by ego, as you said, he wanted to be jason bourne and he also
5:29 am
made reference to needing to get back his bmw. and so a lot at play here. but as you said, this does come just days after other individuals were charged with leaking classified information to foreign nationals, including on a dating site. and of course, just days after jack teixeira, who leaked all of that classified information online pleaded guilty to doing so. and it's going to be sentenced very soon for that, kate yeah. >> to touch it's like the compounding nature of it one after another. each justice strange is the next of what's motivating people allegedly to do this. that is so scary. thank you so much for bringing yes. the reporting. >> sara horn, how was the american economy doing? we're moments away from seeing another key indicator, the jobs report will have instant analysis as soon as those the first drop and tiktok ready to fight to stay on your phone. why? because congress is pushing ahead with the bill that could lead to a nationwide bam of tiktok will discuss ahead

5:35 am
intolerable, and you have a humanitarian crisis and build toward an enduring, a more, something more enduring we have team coverage this morning with our fred pleitgen, who is in berlin and our jeremy diamond who is in tel-aviv. jeremy the president had a very strong message of support for the people of gaza. can you give us some sense of how all of this is being received where you are well, listen, we heard president biden. he began by reaffirming israel's right to go after hamas, but then he went into the suffering of the people in gaza talking about the enormous humanitarian toll that this war has had on civilians. in fact, he noted that of the more than 30,000 palestinians who have been killed, he noted correctly that most of those are not members of hamas. most of those appear to be civilians. and he talked about the humanitarian aid situation in gaza, saying that israel must do more and he also urged israeli leaders not to use humanitarian grand
5:36 am
assistance as a secondary consideration or as a bargaining chip. and of course, he spoke also about what the united states was doing to try and alleviate this humanitarian crisis that is unfolding in gaza, where more than half, 1 million people are now on the brink of famine he announced, of course these plans to open a port, a temporary port off the coast of gaza in the mediterranean sea. that of course will take weeks to actually get into place before it can allow for what will likely be hundreds of truckloads of aid per day. and so it's not an immediate solution. it's not a short-term solution to what is unfolding in gaza. particularly in northern gaza. instead, what we are seeing there is this continued effort to drop aid via the air from the united states jordan, egypt, multiple countries. but today we're getting a picture of why that method is so inefficient and also why it is so dangerous. so we're getting reports today of multiple people well, having been killed or injured as a result of some of these
5:37 am
airdrops in northern gaza. and that just gives you a sense of how perilous this can be. and it also gives you a sense of the importance of opening up more of these land crossings into gaza as though we heard the president talk about that last night. and reportedly israeli officials are set to open this week. another crossing into northern gaza, although they haven't yet confirmed the details of exactly please wear that will be or how much aid can get in that way, sara >> all right. thank you, jeremy, let's go now to fred pleitgen. fred, you've been in and out of ukraine throughout this entire war. can you talk to us about how ukrainians may have perceived the president's comments very high up up in his state of the union speech >> yeah. i think that's absolutely key, sara, i think it's one of the things that the ukrainians will certainly have taken note of is the fact that it only took think it was about one minute et for president biden to start speaking about ukraine's start speaking very broadly and very strongly about ukraine, but also for the need as he put it, to not bow down to russian president vladimir putin. and in fact, stand up to
5:38 am
vladimir putin. of course, one of the things where he charges a difference between himself and former president donald trump was that he said that he is going to remain tough on russia and never bow down. and i think for the ukrainians, it would have been extremely important to hear very high up in that speech, president biden really tried to make a case to republicans also in that venue to say, look, let's work together to try and make more military aid for ukraine happen. and let's let's do it quickly because that's one of the things that the ukrainians have been saying for a very long time. obviously, they're suffering a great deal of shortages as far as ammunition is concerned, but also now, in the meantime, a lot of other gear as well one of the things that doesn't get focused on a very much, but that's also extremely important as far as it's in surface to air missiles and replenishing the ones that the ukrainians are using because of course, they're having to shoot down a lot of russian missiles and are now also shooting down russian planes near the front line. a lot of that needs to get replenished. so the ukrainians obviously saying this is
5:39 am
something that's extremely pressing for them. and they've also been saying that if more military aid from the united states doesn't come, that that will be measured in ukrainian lives, that more ukrainians are will be wounded and more ukrainians will be killed. now, of course sara, the ukrainians are under no illusion that all this could possibly be easy. they understand that of course, republicans in congress, specifically, the republican speaker, mike johnson had a big say. and if there's even going to be a vote, but i think yesterday from that speech that they heard from president biden, they'll been very pleased to hear that fred pleitgen for that's there in berlin. and thank you also to jeremy diamond, who was reporting from tel-aviv >> and we do have breaking news is just in fresh data on the strength of us economy, the strength of the us jobs market new numbers, new data in from the government just now the economy added 275,000 jobs last month. let's get more on this. cnn's vanessa yurkevich is here. you've been listening in
5:40 am
to get all of the details that are just coming in, talk to you about what we see here. >> a nice >> strong number better than expectations analysts were predicting around 200,000 jobs added last month 275,000 jobs added strong, the economy is still chugging along the jobs market is very robust. the unemployment rate though ticking up to 3.9%. however, we are on a streak of a sub 4% unemployment rate, something we haven't seen since president nixon was in office. and important to note that the sectors where we've seen job gains over the past couple months, even years. so traditionally have been in health care government, and food services. that's exactly where we were seeing these job gains today, 67,000 and health care 52,000 and government and food and drink 42,000 of the things that we always, that is fascinating and important. also talk about is not just the number released today is the residual revisions that have been popping up from months prior. what's happened in this
5:41 am
one? >> in january, we saw a huge number gangbusters, number 353,000 jobs added in january. but today, as you know, we do get revisions that i'm brynn january was revised down pretty dramatically to 229,000. jobs, but that's still good. that is still robust job growth. that's nothing to be concerned about, but we are coming off of the janey the worry surprise, realizing that the numbers were a little more in line with what economists and then the federal reserve wants to see. they want to see numbers around 200,000 jobs added because that'll be an indication to them that it's steady job growth, not gangbuster job growth like we saw on january, which will indicate to them that they can maybe start to maybe start to cut rates >> give that confidence. >> wages quick. >> wages >> are cooling a little bit, 4.3% annually. that is maybe not good news for the average worker because they want to see their wages go higher. however,
5:42 am
for the federal reserve, the big concern is when you have wages are outpacing inflation by such a dramatic number. that's concerned turn that it will fuel inflation further. so just a slight cooling from 4.5%. we saw in january to 4.3% annually going back to what we saw at the end of last year, the fed though wants to see wages at three so still a little ways to go but people are going to be happy that they have more money in their paychecks. >> but this one definitely exceeding expectations, 275,000 jobs added last month. it's great to see you, vanessa, thanks for running. >> but that's also got the memo that it's red and black day. yeah. >> i don't know what's going to be in here, but but alliance heavy meal, i have text message. sorry, we joined you in. it would've been good he's on the ballot this fall to win a seat at the state house. but right now now, he's finishing up his junior year in college, will talk this potential rising star in politics. and do you know where that tire went? something you might ask your children about their lego set, not a common

>> the most loved thinking out, vegas story of sin city next sunday at ten on cnn tiktok, firing back now after a house panel advanced a bill that would ban the app in the united states nationwide, some lawmakers >> say the popular social media platform poses a security risk. tiktok users, though now are flooding congress with calls after the china-backed parent company urged them to take action. cnn's tech reporter brian fung, has much more on this. brian, what's going on >> okay. this is a big bill that could potentially lead to tiktok being banned from us app stores and lawmakers in on a key house committee yesterday unanimously voted to advance this bill. it's going to go to a house floor vote next week
5:51 am
according to house majority leader steve scalise. there are a lot of concerns here reflected in this bill the lawmakers that have put it forward have cited years of fears that tiktok could be forced by its parents parent company bytedance, which is linked to china to hand over the personal information of us citizens to the chinese government. of course, tiktok says, that's absolutely false and that it poses no threat to us citizens but nevertheless, that objection hasn't resolved some of the concerns around tiktok and this bill would force bytedance to sell off tiktok within five or six months, or else tiktok could be banned from us app stores and tiktok and other civil society groups say, there's some issues with this bill that it could lead to first amendment violations of tiktok and americans who use tiktok talk but it seems like lawmakers are determined to push this forward. tiktok has engaged in
5:52 am
large call to action among its users trying to drive users to call members of congress. we heard from numerous congressional offices yesterday that they were being flooded with calls from users of the app, some of whom were confused about what was going on and present for president donald trump has also weighed in on this. interestingly, saying that he actually would be opposed to a tiktok ban. it's not clear why exactly he's reversing his position mission that he took as president, though >> it's good to see you, brian. thank you so much for that. so tiktok fighting mad at congress, there's a lot of fighting going on, a lot of heat a lot of it from capitol hill right now on we saw chuck schumer, downright giddy over the president's state of the union address. what did the viewers think people out there in america watching this date of the uterus, cnn senior data reporter harry and is here. >> we >> asked we did a poll last night, >> speech generally it had
5:53 am
people had a positive view. where does that rank historical? >> yeah, let me just say the heat is reading off of you, john. all right. here we go. positive view of biden speech to congress. look 65% of americans had a positive, that's a pretty good number, at least according to the speech watchers. but here's the thing to keep in mind, john speech viewers almost always have a positive view of biden speech to congress. in fact, the 65% is lower than the 72% in 2023, 71%, 2020, 2.78% in 2021. so i guess this is like a kind of glass half, full, half empty type of thing going on here. yeah, a lot of speech viewers liked the speech but fewer than normal and they almost always like to speech. >> and again, we see these same types of numbers when you ask them questions from the subjects of his speech, right? so you know, if you are essentially look, okay. biden's policies will put us in the right direction. pre-speech. post-speech, look, post-speech, 62% this year. that's far higher than the 45% pre-speech, but that type of
5:54 am
upward trajectory is what we normally see in 2023. it went from 52% to 71%. 2022, 52 to 67%. so sort of this 15 to 20 point jump is well within the range of historical norm. turns out that people who tune in generally like the president's direction, that direction the country will go and that the present will take us far more after the speech them before this. well, you see the people who tuned in, who tuned in, you, who tuned in. all right, so this i think is rather interesting that democratic share of the electorate, this is all adults as according to a prior paul cnn paul versus speech watchers this year, the audience was slightly less democratic than it normally is less than the 41% in 2020, 3.41% in 2022. but the jump, that is, how much more democratic or the speech viewers than the general electorate that generally stayed the same that seven point jump, that we saw last year, we saw an eight point jump back in 2022, we saw an 11 point jump. so the fact that they viewed it a little less positively biden speech, the
5:55 am
normal isn't that much of a big surprise because the audience was less than a crowd. if you're a >> democrat, you could look at this as a positive. you could say president biden maybe reaching a wider audience than just his fervent base. >> that's exactly right. independence actually made up a larger share of this speech than they normally do, which has a big part of the reason why democrats made up a smaller share. so, you know, if more independence like biden, that's group is struggling with, maybe be better for me. >> we have talked here, you have pointed out before the difference the state of the union address can or can't make yeah. >> you know, historically >> speaking, it doesn't tend to make a very big difference now, perhaps this year is different because biden starts off so low, but the state of the union average effect on overall approval ratings among all adults. it's just been one point upwards for biden historically since 1978. it's been zero points. will this speech have a larger effect than normal? we'll just have to wait and see again, biden's floor so low. so you know, if there's a lot of positive spin coming out of the speech, which generally there seems to be. or as you pointed out to me the speech clips. well, maybe the approval ratings will rise in. look, chuck schumer and other elected democrats do seem
5:56 am
genuinely pleased with it. harriet and great to see you. thank you. so you sir. >> all right. in a stunning upset, a 21 world east carolina student defeated representative george cleveland ten term north carolina lawmaker in the primaries, joining us now from jacksonville, north carolina is why it gable. thank you so much for being here this morning. just the first question. why did you decide to run at 21 years old >> yeah, thanks for having me. just the biggest thing for me was junior year of high school and senior year and freshman year of college deal with all the covid stuff it was always seemed like it was rules for me, but not for the, you know, when dealing with administrators and things like that. so i just thought that was wrong and i wanted to help make a difference in my community i want to ask you about how you think you beat a ten term incumbent for >> the state house position to be on the ballot. now, instead of him yeah.
5:57 am
>> for me, it was just a lot of door-knocking and a lot of phone calls made me and my team put in a lot of hard work that was for sure. then just a vague thing or you know, not even something i did. i just think a lot of people were ready for something new. i mean, we have a lot of people that are older and our elected audie's whether it's the senate of the house and then just a fresh set of ideas is really important to people. >> i want to ask you what you think the biggest issue for you that you would like to tackle. first, you have a different group of friends, a different set of folks at your age than the incumbent would. what's the thing that you i think is the most important for you to tackle. if you are ultimately elected >> i think a big thing is working on our education system here in north carolina it's teaching simple things like home economic, shop, auto repair, carpentry, things like that. so our students are prepared for the real-world when they leave high school because a lot of it nowadays is you don't go to college, you're not going to become
5:58 am
anything which isn't true. there's so many career paths you can take in life and i want to make sure students are prepared for that >> okay, that's really interesting. you don't hear that all the time, so you're bringing some, some new ideas as well. if someone says to you you're at 21 too young and inexperienced what do you say back to them >> i'd say, well, a lot of people that are in the legislature now have a lot of experience and what we're that scottness it doesn't take experience, understand what's right and wrong. and then in terms of if you want an example of my experience, i've had a lot of experience on my college campus involved with politics and then a big part of what goes on there. so i feel like the hunger and the wheel to get something done is more important. >> i want to ask you about the gubernatorial showdown that's expected in your state. it's supposed to be one of the most competitive races of the year democratic attorney general, josh stein will square off a republican nominee mark robinson robinson, he's known as a right-wing firebrand, and
5:59 am
he's currently serving as lieutenant governor. have you thought about that race at all and who you're going to back, does it play into, into your mind >> oh, yeah. i mean, we've thought about it. it's obviously been a huge talking point here. and for the entertainment side, unfortunately our gubernatorial elections in the primary for either side, we're not very close i mean, i'm definitely going to be supporting mark robinson for governor. i just the biggest thing for me is how much money is going to be spent in that race. it's going to be quite the show. so be a far, far cry from my little house serous here we spend a few thousand dollars. >> do you think that there should be less money sort of flying around? >> i mean i'm a full believer and if you, if people want to donate the money to you, then absolutely should be able to spend it out. i think everyone's kind of in the same mindset. like i hate how much money is spent, but at the same
6:00 am
time that people are willing to donate the money to you, then you should absolutely be able to spend it spoken like a true politician, wyatt gable. thank you so much for your time this morning. a new hour of cnn news central starts right now >> team biden, fanning out across the country today trying to drive home the president's fiery new message >> so today it becomes the trump national committee, or is it the republican trump committee? the trump family takeover of the party about to come official. >> a huge tire falls off united airlines airplane as it lifts into the sky at the start of an overseas flight, the damage it did on the ground and how the investigation going into how this happened i'm sure a side where kate bolduan and john berman, this is cnn news central
