Nbc news daily starts right now. Today friday, march 8th, 2024, bringing down the house, President Biden minces no words in his final state of the union before novembers election. You cant love your country only when you win. I will not bow down. It was a fiery speech that could be likened to a campaign rally, the biggest takeaways, and what were hearing from voters j. The u. S. Economy added more jobs nan expected last month but also up slightly, the Unemployment Rate, how it could impact your bottom line. Jailhouse threats, the father of a convicted School Shooter himself on trial facing new restrictions after making threatening statements from behind bars. And life after a layoff, losing a job is really tough financially and emotionally. Were talking about some helpful ways to cope, whether it happens to you, or a loved one. Critical conversation, especially as so Many Industries are facing layoffs right now. Its tough no know what to say. Were going to begin this hour with the race for the white house. The heels of a spirited state of the Union Address last night, the president spoke for more than an hour laying out his vision for the future of the country and it will likely be one of his biggest audiences of american voters, all year. The president started and ended his remarks about what he believes are threats to american democracy right now, and attacked his challenger in the november general election, former president donald trump, biden mentioned mr. Trump 13 times but only referenced him as my predecessor, never actually said his name. Now my predecessor, a former republican president tells putin, quote, do whatever the hell you want. Thats a quote. Its dangerous, and its unacceptable. Oh, no. You guys dont want another 2 trillion tax cut . I kind of thought thats what your plan was. And with all due respect, justices, women are not without electoral power excuse me, electoral or political power. Youre about to realize just how much well get some Voter Perspective in a moment, but lets begin with nbcs Garrett Haake on this speech, so, garrett, what were some of the other big moments from last night . I understand weve just heard from the president , is that right . Reporter thats exactly right, yeah, the president brought a lot of energy to this speech, republicans argued a little too much political energy, the speaker of the house criticized the speech as hyperpartisan. But what you saw was a bit of campaign, a bit of talk about past accomplishments, and some promises for future action. The president said with a Democratic Congress he would act to try to restore the protections enshrined in roe versus wade, laying out specific policies on a tax credit for home buyers hed like to put in place but it was a very political speech and you saw a lot of contrast with the former president. Democrats were heartened to see the energy that President Biden brought to this and it also renewed some of the questions the president was just asked about, whether he will debate donald trump, something that perhaps democrats will be more excited about having seen the president S Performance last night, heres what he just told reporters who asked him that question. Mr. President , will you commit to a debate with the former President Trump . Depends on his behavior. Reporter know will be ration from the president about what that would entail before he could make a commitment to debate, but we will certainly be watching the debate is already announced for this fall but neither candidate has explicitly committed to being there. Garrett, we didnt catch what he said. What did he say there outside . Reporter he said it depends on his behavior, lefrgt to donald trump, could mean any number of things. We saw the official republican response last night delivered by katie britt, well listen to what she had to say and week talk about it. The true unvarnished state of our union begins and ends with this, our families are hurting. Our country can do better. What are we hearing from republicans about that rebuttal . Reporter well, on the record republicans have mostly said that katie britt gid a fair job and hit the points on immigration that republicans thought would be important but weve heard a criticism for the performance aspect of the speech, the tone was off, the delivery was off and that might have overshadowed the political message. Garrett, what are we hearing from former President Trump himself about bidens not a big fan of his address. He was active posting along live with the speech with comments about the president s hair, how long it took him to walk down the aisle, coughing in his hand. His final summary, he attacked the speech as being political and too aggressive. Even called the current president a psycho, you know, donald trump trying to insert himself into this, now that hes the nominee of his party he had business big super tuesday victory speech, he will not have much of a platform like what the president has available to him until perhaps the conventions this summer. Garrett haake, thank you. And going to brainal in gec news will be closely watching in the president ial election as part of our series the deciders, so, blayne, President Biden won that county back in 2020. How are voters there feeling about a likely rematch with former President Trump . Reporter theyre not excited at all, zinhle, the voters i spoke with this morning, a couple of them said yes, while they cast a ballot for joe biden, theyre leaning toward a Third Party Candidate or going to stay home all together. Its very interesting, though, when you think about just how voters opinions have changed since 2020, i spoke with a number of people this morning, and none of them feel the same way they did back then. One woman told me that she actually didnt vote for president back in 2020. She voted down ballot, voted for all of the other candidates and other races but couldnt bring herself to decide between trump and biden. But now she feels that shes seen the consequences, she says its important to vote, she just doesnt know which way shes going to lean. Heres a little bit of what we heard from the voters this morning. Take a look. I do believe for me personally that life begins at conception. I think the president needs to consider that it is circumstantial, and case by case. Sadly, a lot of people dont want to vote period because theyre not confident in either candidate. Reporter these are people who voted in 2020 for biden and theyre tell i dont go you now they dont know if theyre going to vote. Reporter she calls it beating the pavement and going out and trying to campaign for candidates, she did so for stacy abrams during 2022, but the people she was talking about were people that she says that she was actually going out and door knocking with a couple of years ago, she says this time around, though, theyre feeling discouraged, and shes really trying having to try and convince them to go out and vote this time. Wow, so interesting to hear from real voters out there, blayne, so both President Biden and former President Trump are going to be campaigning in georgia tomorrow, give us some context about why gwinet county matters so michigan. Reporter its one of the keys to winning georgia, and we know for both candidates there is going to be certainly crucial in their path to the white house in november. When it comes to this county, its fast growing and diverse, and its a county that in 2016 Hillary Clinton actually won and joe biden won it later with a larger margin, so its already were already seeing how this is something that democrats are certainly look at very closely as their key to keeping the state blue, but republicans, of course, as well, they have made it very clear, certainly during the duber in atorial races and all along when you talk to state Party Leaders the suburbs, including gwnnett county are the places they see as a key to victory as well. We call it a decider for a reason. Blayne alexander, thank you. As President Biden touts the economy, as he did last night, the latest jobs report is also showing some strong numbers. America added 275,000 jobs last month, which is more than economists predicted, but the Unemployment Rate did tick up to 3. 9 . Here with the latest, business and data correspondent brian cheung, what stood out in this latest report, and what does it say about this overall state of the economy . As the president yesterday was trying to make sure he was painting a picture of the economy that was positive headed into the election, i mean, the jobs numbers this morning corroborate that, at least on the labor market front, the jobs market is firing on all cylinders, 275,000 jobs added in the month of february, above what wall street economists expected of around 198,000, rounding up to 200,000. So thats above that estimate. And also faster than the 229,000 jobs that were added in the month of january. Although i do want to note the government statistics did revise down the figures for december and january, we added fewer jobs than originally thought, part of the normal monthly process from the government data. Heres where we added jobs in the month, very interesting to take a look at, these are jobs at bars and restaurants, adding 60,000, health care adding almost 70,000, but white collar jobs in information, and professional and business services, adding only a total of around 11 ,000, covering the tech sector jobs weve been hearing about layoffs in the past few months and continue to watch that thread as that could be part of the labor market story going on later this year, guys. And brian, what about wages, did they go up or down . The big story is not necessarily on the labor market front when it comes to kind of just concerns within this economy, its really all about prices, prices, prices, right now 3. 1 , thats how much higher prices are now, compared to this time last year, wages over that period, up 4. 3 , weve got this number, in the data this morning, this tells you that wages outpacing inflation a good part of the story, but when americans feel this, thats the open question, politically. Brian, talking prices, what about rates, rates, any possibility of Interest Rates going down . The Federal Reserve aggressively lifted Interest Rates, havent further raised since the later part of last summer but the talking point is could it begin cutting Interest Rates, bleeding through to Lower Borrowing costs on credit cards, mortgages, auto loans, the Federal Reserve is saying it could happen later this year and it depends what happens with this number, seeing it get closer to 2 and an updated read on that data, next tuesday. Brian cheung for us, thank you. And time for todays cnbc money minute, shredded cheese being recalled over listeria concerns. A billionaire has a suggestion for taylor swifts next era. Contessa brewer joins us now. Yeah, congressional probe Found Communications devices such as modems on chinese cranes at u. S. Ports that werent for normal operations, thats according to the wall street journal. They said some ports that use the equipment for Chinese Company zpmg didnt ask for the modems and didnt know why they were installed, its a stateowned company and used in almost 80 of u. S. Ports and it has not responded yet to this report. Here we go, shredded cheese, sargento recalling shredded and grated cheese sold to Food Service Groups in 15 states over concerns about listeria contamination, no Grocery Store products, were told, were affected. So if you bought it at the Grocery Store, it should be fine. But according to the fda, the recalls are linked to one california supplier, which was part of a broader recall with other cheese brands after two deaths and 26 hospitalizations. Hedge Fund Billionaire ray dalio suggested that pop star taylor swift should be president , in a selfie post from the stars singapore concert dalio wrote she could bring people across the world together better than either President Biden or donald trump. And to that, probably biden and trump just need to shake it off. Nice, that was good. Good reference. Yeah. Contessa brewer, thank you. Thanks.

The father of a convicted School Shooter has new limits on how he could communicate in jail because of threats hes allegedly made behind bars, the restrictions come on the second day of testimony of James Crumbley. His wife jennifer convicted of the same charges last month. Their son is serving life in prison for killing four people at a Michigan High School back in 2021. Nbc news correspondent maggie vespa is outside that courthouse in pontiac, michigan, maggie, what do we know about these threats and whats the latest from inside the court . Reporter so, zinhle, well start with the threats, effectively we know that James Crumbley, according to the local Sheriffs Office threatened someone they say via phone and via electronic messages through a tablet they wont say who he threatened or when this happened but the result is that James Crumbley can now for the duration of this trial only communicate with his attorney and what the judge calls legitimate clergies. Effectively cut off from the outside world and testimony continuing in there today, we heard today from the manager of a gun store here locally where Authorities Say he bought the gun his son used, buying it days before the shooting occurred. Youll hear her describe the moment and then youll hear crumbleys defense attorney pushing back in cross. Take a listen. Mr. Crumbley asked to see it, had his eye on it for quite some time and because he is a familiar face to our store i looked at him and said, you know the drill. You didnt hear or see his son say anything to mr. Crumbley about whats the one i want . No. Reporter and, of course, this is key because kind of the key contention of the prosecutors case is that James Crumbley knew his son was suffering from Mental Health issues but instead of getting him help he went out and bought him the gun, prosecutors say hed been asking for, took imto a gun range, taught him how to shoot it and then failed to warn the school when administrators said Ethan Crumbley was displaying violent behaviors, this is a key point, the trial continuing on monday, the judge saying she expects it to wrap by the end of the week. Zinhle . Maggie vespa with the latest from michigan for us, thanks.

Two senior u. S. Officials say a new maritime corridor to deliver aid into gaza could take up to two months to become fully operational. President biden, you may recall, announced that plan in his state of the Union Address last night. The u. S. Has already been working with allies on air drops of aid, the white house is also planning a new pathway for trucks to make deliveries to northern gaza as well. All this comes as the israelhamas war enters its sixth month now, International Correspondent matt bradley is following this for us, we have news this afternoon, officials in gaza saying an air drop, one of those air drops of humanitarian aid actually led to people dying. What are we learning . Reporter were hearing from Authorities Saying as many as five people were killed by that slow dropping air drop of aid, and they faulted the private companies that were air dropping the aid saying they had done it incorrectly, essentially. This is a tragedy, that really just goes to show one of the other pitfalls of using these air drops as a way of distributing aid into the gaza strip, aid agencies already were harshly criticizing the Biden Administration, saying it was more of a gesture toward providing aid, and really they come in by land or by sea, which well get to in a moment, but this just goes to show that not only is this an inefficient way of bringing aid into the gaza strip its also dangerous. Lets get to those other pathways being talked about. So, what are we learning about the logistics of trying to like open a port on the sea . Reporter its hard to kind of imagine this. The way it would look from my understanding is that there would be a floating causeway to land, and that there would be essentially ships that would dock on the causeway, and that ships providing the aid would dock against those ships, so, essentially, this harbor, this impermanent harbor made up of other ships, and allowing ships to dock against them and all of this is going to be built without american troops setting foot on the gaza strip. So, as you can imagine, this is a real technical engineering challenge, but theres also some other pathways to aid weve been hearing about, the israelis reportedly are opening a pathway to aid into the Northern Gaza Strip where hunger is most acute at this moment, this is something we dont really know the details of. Its possible this could open up more aid but it could also just be more of the same, the israelis have insisted on checking any shipment of aid into the gaza strip, and that, according to aid agencies, is whats slowing up the intake of aid. And that just quickly, the muslim holy month of ramadan begins this weekend and that was negotiators were hoping to get a deal done on releasing hostages in a ceasefire, before this weekend, whats the status . Reporter yeah, ramadan begins in about two days, and the authorities on both sides, those who were negotiating, were hoping to get this deal done by the beginning of ramadan. Now, its not entirely clear that ramadan would represent some sort of issue, ramadan has historically been the time when there has been a lot of Political Violence and agitation in the middle east, its unclear whether or not that would be a real issue but theres another deadline that coincides with ramadan, this one from the israelis, the israelis saying that they will attack that southern gazan city of rafah, on the border with egypt and that could lead to a humanitarian disaster. Matt bradley for us, thank you so much. While negotiations on a peace deal in the israelihamas war are at a stand still calls for a ceasefire are amplifying here in america, especially inside some churches, more than 1,000 black pastors are urging President Biden to stop the violence. Yamiche alcindor spoke with clergy who said the tame for peace is now. Reporter for a Community Church in atlanta the war raging thousands of miles away in the middle east is top of mind. All palestinians are not terrorists. Reporter reverend Timothy Mcdonald iii says its because he empathizes with the thousands of civilians being killed in gaza. Black people understand pain, we have a history of pain. Reporter mcdonald is part of a group of more than 1,000 black faith leaders demanding President Biden call for a permanent ceasefire between israel and hamas. Why are you publicly calling for President Biden to demand a ceasefire. The time is now, peace is the way and the ceasefire is a concrete beginning for the pursuit of peace because it involves both sides. Reporter the president , while still supporting israel, is currently pushing for a temporary ceasefire. Hes hoping to get hostages out of gaza and more aid in. The response of the idf has gone way too far, the killing of innocent women and children, even babies. The longer this war has gone on the more support President Biden is losing among the African American population. Reporter young black voters in particular, like reverend sean smith, say they have grown frustrated with biden over the war. Do you think the Biden Administration and President Biden understands the depth that this could impact him . I hope he does. Simply because of the fact that we want to make sure that we can get as much voter turnout as possible in november, and allot of people i know of personally saying theyre just going to stay home. Reporter and do what . Not vote. Reporter something he says biden cant afford. Young black people gave joe biden the state of georgia, we cant turn out the young black vote he doesnt stand a chance. Reporter some like renika back the president s stance. Im supportive of President Biden what hes done on everything since hes been in office, and now hes making a choice to stand on one side. Im going to pray that were all doing what is the right thing to do, and that its going to all work out. Reporter reverend mcdonald hopes President Biden changes course before its too late. Do you think President Biden and his administration really understands how much a stance in the middle east might hurt some African Americans . I dont think he understands it now but hes beginning to. Reporter yamiche alcindor, nbc news, atlanta, georgia. Yamiche, thank you so much.

Reporter Philadelphia Police are urging the public take a closer look at this shocking surveillance video.

Lets move over now to tennessee, where an army soldier has pleaded not guilty to allegedly selling sensitive military information to a u. S. Adversary. Yeah, cor ben schultz was indicted on six counts thursday, the u. S. Attorneys office accusing him of selling aircraft and missile secrets to china. Investigative correspondent tom winter joins us now, what can you tell us about this Army Sergeant and what is he accused of . Hes accused of taking Sensitive National defense information, this goes from everything from manuals for helicopters, and their capabilities, to fight manuals for the f22, one of the most advanced jets thats ever flown in the skies, period, the fighter jet for the u. S. , also to how it is perceived in the u. S. Military, anyway, that other countries are responding to what the u. S. Military is doing, particularly in sensitive areas, targeting russia and ukraine, talking china and those types of places, it has to do with really the secrets of the military, thats kind of the key focus here. And notably you pointed out this was sensitive, not classified information, can you clarify why thats important, and what this could mean for adversaries you mentioned, taiwan, china, those relationships there. So moving beyond the legal technicalities of this, and there is a difference when were talking about National Defense information versus classified, but when were talking about classified its one of the things that his conspirator, based in hong kong, was imploring him to do, can you get stuff at the sea level, classified, top secret, thats information thats derived from very Sensitive Information sources, whether they be our ability to electronically pick off communications in other countries, or spies that we have working on our behalf, that are trying to get information from these places, thats a whole different realm. Hes not charged with that. But, to your point, it might be helpful for china to understand what the u. S. Military thinks its doing, or thinks that it is thinking, and thats the type of information that can help inform them as far as their future plans, obviously taiwan, hot button issue for that country, to your point, so thats something that, yoourn, would be important to them. Quick, schultz was in court today, what happened there . He pleaded not guilty and at some point well have a detention hearing, federal prosecutors say over the last couple days theyve discovered the money transfers, and theyre alleging this, came from cryptocurrency, they say that theyve interviewed numerous people who have provided information to them about what schultz was up to and they think its a risk if he was to be out, the possibility of retribution, calling him a flight risk given his connections to this individual overseas, we expect that hearing will probably take place in the next week or two. Fornow hes pleaded not guilty. We know youll stay on it, tom winter, thank you.
