now on cnn this morning, president biden and donald trump campaigning in georgia ahead of tuesday's primaries. they're trump drawing some outrage after he mocks the president's stutter a red line for israel, president biden calling for an end to violence in gaza. but prime minister netanyahu, not backing down. and republican senator katie britt backtracking, trying to explain her much maligned response to president biden's state of the union right >> it's 05:00 a.m. here in washington. a live look at that beautiful capitol dome on this first monday under daylight savings time in this little darker for all of us early risers. good morning to you. i'm happy to have you with us. i'm kasie hunt. we're getting into politics and just a >> moment, but let's take a quick look at last night's oscars here it comes >> and maria, i see oppenheimer >> that understatement oppenheimer blew away the competition last night, winning seven awards, killing murphy one for act best actor playing j. robert oppenheimer. he is the first irish born actor to win an academy award. >> emma >> stone with one of the biggest upsets of the night, winning best actress for her role in poor things. she beat out lily gladstone from killers of the flower moon. she would've been the first native american winner and a little later, we're going to show you ryan gosling saying is ken and john cena naked? >> that for a tease. but let's get first to politics because right now georgia is on a lot of minds. the state's going to play a pivotal role in deciding the nation's next president in november even though donald trump and president biden have all but sealed their parties nominations. it did not stop them from campaigning at dueling rallies in this critical purple state less than 100 miles apart with trump trying now to claim he wants to bring together voters from all parties. he was didn't in his own unique way do all americans, whether you are a republican and independent or a dissolution democrat of which there are many all you had to do is watch that horrible state of the union that was the worst president history, making the worst state of the union speech in history >> if there are disillusion democrats, president biden is hoping his messaging about trump's vision for the us is enough to get them back on his side. >> we're all know donald trump sees a different america and american story of resentment revenge and retribution. that's not me, that's not you and of course, georgia is far from just any state on the primary calendar, less than a year ago, trump and >> over a dozen of his allies were indicted on state charges stemming from alleged efforts to overturn his 2020 defeat there. what role this and other trump's other legal cases are going to play in november is of course a huge question looming over this entire campaign joining me now, national politics reporter for axios, sophia cai. so feel good morning. it's great to see you >> excuse me >> what do you what was your takeaway from, especially the darkness of trump's rally in georgia. >> i mean, look, that segment you played with trump for the first time that i'm hearing this cycle explicitly appealing to voters in the middle, he could not help in the middle of that, but to bash biden, it really wonder if that is a sincere appeal to voters of the middle. and i think that is where the story is in north carolina, the exit polls showed that 78% of voters could not commit to voting for the eventual republican nominee trump. i mean, that is his biggest issue as you move ahead here, right? for sure >> sophia, let me >> show you a little bit of what senator raphael warnock, senator from georgia i'm had to say to my colleague jake tapper over the weekend when he was asked about this question of third-party voters, right? and what role they might play in this race. watch at the end of the day. >> this is a binary choice and the question is, do you want the america of january 5 that sent its first black senator from georgia, its first jewish senator from georgia to the united states senate. or do you want the america of january 6 pushed forward by president who continues to advance the big lie about the election and behind that line that of course meet the press. my mistake. senator warnock, there basically making a surrogate for the biden team there, right? saying, look this isn't just a referendum on president biden. >> yeah. i mean, i think they're trying to make it about the future of the country and democracy. whereas president trump seem in georgia bringing up the georgia student who was killed, mtg trump, ally at the state of union, forcing biden to say the student's name and biden kind of taking her up on that and so there's different sets of issues that each of these candidates and 13 are really trying to emphasize in the leadup to the general. >> so speaking of laken riley, the nursing student in georgia, president biden was asked over the weekend whether or not he regretted using the term illegal so which he used in response to marjorie taylor greene. >> he >> did say that he should have used different language than swatch with the president had to say i'm documented for us. >> i >> shouldn't have usually gone as undocumented and look, when i spoke about the difference between trump on me, one of the things i talked about in the border was but here's the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood. i talked about what i'm not going to do, what i won't do, i'm not going to treat any any any of these people disrespect look, they built the country. >> then let's also take a look at donald trump obviously seems to have seen this because he addressed it onstage. raja that joe biden went on television and apologize for calling laken's murderer and illegal. he didn't want to call him a legally supposed he said he should have called him an undocumented, not an illegal anyone to do apologize. >> this is really becoming like a set such a central issue, perhaps defining this entire campaign. what was your read of why president biden decided to approach it this way? >> look, i think one of his biggest weaknesses the selection is he's not strong enough on the border. he's not strong enough in general. that's one of the biggest criticisms. >> and he knows the importance of rhetoric. he's been doing this for decades to his point, he noticed is trump's rhetoric. i don't actually think that his use of the word illegal was a mistake. he addressed it on the spot. he did take his time walking it back, but he was asked during the day, i mean, it was only when he sat down for another interview that he said, look, like i should have used the stuff that language, but i think he was trying to make a statement. he's trying to say i take this seriously. and here's where i am >> so feel let me talk to you about some of the reporting you head out over the weekend, your reporting on changes at the republican national committee in terms of installing kind of new staff to run, try to write the ship, frankly, it's been kind of hemorrhaging money. what do you what have you learned? >> yes. so we reported this weekend that chris lacivita, trump's co-campaign manager, who is also going to be ceo at the rnc is bringing in his number two, sean can cross, and he's a former rnc executive who is known for his being good with money. and so he's really bring being brought back here to do the books, to go through these line items, figure out what is necessary to turning out voters and what's not in crossing out everything else and that kind of gives you a sense of what the priorities are at at middle to high level of what's next for this new rnc team that's coming in and it's coming at a time when trump started law, lord trump, as well as michael whatley, the former north carolina chairman. they were just elected last week. and so this week, i think the expectation some of these people will start coming into the building and dc and making these changes >> remolding it in trump's image? >> yes exactly. >> right. thank you very much for being with us this morning >> all right. coming up next here, president biden's red line for israel will prime minister benjamin netanyahu's simply ignore it? plus wildfire crews working desperately to sorry wildlife crews working desperately to free a whale, beached off the coast of florida. >> oh, dear. >> and congress has set to vote on banning tiktok effectively banning tiktok in the us, the lawmaker

another man. >> did you want to be outed united states of scandal with jake tapper? i >> gotta go to therapy is if they're having an interview with jake tapper episodes sunday at nine on cnn >> this morning israel says it will push ahead with the offensive in rafah gaza, despite president biden's warning, in an interview with msnbc, the president said that invading rafah where more than 1.5 million gazans are sheltering would be a quote, red line and he said israeli prime minister netanyahu is hurting israel more than helping by failing to limit civilian casualties >> because when netanyahu had to say about that well i don't know exactly what the president meant. but if he meant by that, that i'm pursuing private policies against the majority. the wish of the majority of israelis and that this is hurting the interests of israel. then he's wrong on both counts. >> all right. cnn's scott mclean is live in is symbol with more on this. scott. good morning. biden says he'd never fully cut israel off. i mean, what consequences might they be able to impose are willing to impose a should israel invade rafah? >> i think gacy you have put your finger precisely on the issue here and that is that president biden answered the question saying that yes, an israeli ground invasion of rafah would be a red line for him, but he didn't identify precisely what, if any, consequences there would actually be because he followed it up by saying, as you mentioned, that he would never cut israel off of all weapons, never leave them without an iron dome, anything like that. and so clearly, none of that was perceived as any kind of a threat by the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu, who very swiftly yesterday in this interview with politico and german an outlet bild said that that offensive in rafah will press ahead. and this is despite plenty of countries in the international community warning that this would be a catastrophe, including some of israel's closest allies, the united states, for its part, has said that any incursion of gaza should not take place until there is a credible plan to evacuate the 1.3 or 1.5 palestinians million excuse me, palestinians who are currently sheltering in that area with really no safe place to go and given the humanitarian crisis there, given the fact that people are not on the brink of starvation and dehydration and malnutrition. you have people according to the hamas-run ministry of health, who have died already of these really preventable things. when it comes to aid, you know >> this >> these dueling interviews seemed to expose this riff that we've seen between president biden and prime minister netanyahu. when it comes to aid the us has continued to urge the israelis to do who more, to get more aid in faster that hasn't really happened though. and so the us is resorting to what should be pretty embarrassing airdropping aid on a territory controlled by its closest ally as well. and one of the thing to very quickly mentioned, as well as the us has also been preaching for calm when it comes to the northern israeli border with lebanon. and even in this interview, netanyahu didn't rule out the possibility of expanding military action on that front as well. kasie all right. scott mclean for us live in is symbol scott. thank you very much for that and coming up here, katie

eight months of ugliness with the georgia primary set for tomorrow. president biden and donald trump made appearances this weekend because this is also a critical battleground general elections state is the same state where donald trump is facing election subversion charges less than a year ago, he was being booked in the fulton county jail over the weekend. he was taking his campaign to this new low watch we all heard crooked joe's angry, dark, hate-filled rant of a state of the union >> address wasn't it didn't it bring us together emerging border, bring the country together? >> not the first time that trump has mocked president biden's stutter. so my guess it's about a new low. it's just the regular low for his part, the president seemed to stay on message. he repeatedly tried to draw a clear character distinctions between himself and his republican rival donald trump, has a different constituency here's the guy is kicking off his general election campaign in the road up with marjorie taylor greene i can tell you a lot about a person who keeps company with >> all right. >> let's discuss now with tyler pager, white house reporter for the washington post, and matt brown, national race and politics reporter for the associated press. gentlemen, good morning. thank you so much for being here. ty, let me start with you. you cover biden so closely at white house. >> would you make >> of his he had quite an eventful weekend. these campaign appearances plus the interview on msnbc where he talked about his illegal remarks. what stood out to you about the president's performance and the campaign at large. >> i was with him in philadelphia suburbs. and then i went with him two atlantic at both of those events and saw firsthand the message that he is trying to send to the american people. and it is building off that state of the union performance. but taking a much tougher tone on trump and naming him directly. we saw in the state of the union address, he made very clear who he was talking about without saying his name. but then as he moved into these campaign events and we'll continue to see this week as he travels around the country to those additional battleground states, new hampshire, michigan, and wisconsin, that the message is one of clear contrasts on policy and on demeanor. as you said, there, he was trying to take aim at at former president trump character, but he's also trying to draw policy differences between the two men obviously a different approach from trump who went on a rambling almost two-hour speech. biden's was very tight, 21 minutes, and it was largely focused on his record and trying to make the case that he has an agenda for the second term. what the specifics of that second agenda? not so super clear there, but really trying to draw those clear contrast between him and his once and future opponent. >> yeah. >> matt, i mean, you lived in georgia for a long time. you've covered the race they're pretty closely. this is a place where, you know what plays in rural georgia is much different than what might play in the suburbs of atlanta, right? but it's really going to be the atlanta suburbs that are going to decide this election and what did you hear in these two speeches? what stood out to you? >> yeah. i think that this was a >> very interesting weekend for us in georgia just because it was really the coming out, i guess, of battleground georgia, once again, that we saw in 2020. i mean, we have the associated press at the moment are not calling either of them the presumptive nominee until they get the required number of delegates yes. that said with anybody i remember 1% above a name id recognition out of the race. this is basically what we're looking at here for the general election, rematch of 2020 in this case. and georgia is one of the most politically, it got to contested states in the country in this regard. but as you said, there's a very small but persuadable number of voters in georgia in these suburbs, all in and around atlanta, who are be, are able to be persuaded. we saw that in 2022, where many of them supported republicans, like governor brian kemp in georgia. but then we're not able to pull the lever all the way for herschel walker, for instance, for senate, they ended up split ticketing and voting for senator raphael warnock. and a lot of cases so that is those are the voters that i believe that the biden campaign is looking at very closely and is very keen on winning here in georgia. and you saw both trump's message in georgia over at his rally and biden's message in atlanta. i'm really focused on trying to appeal to voters in their own ways. the question is which message is going to prove more resonant? in this state? >> so one of the other key ways we can gauge where campaigns are, is by what they choose to spend money on. and we did get a taste tyler of what the first campaign ad from the biden campaign came out over the weekend. we don't usually show campaign ads in full, but this one's interesting since it's the sitting president, his first ad as for in his reelection campaign in the general, let's watch it and we'll talk about it >> oh, i'm not a young guy. that's no secret. but here's the deal. >> i understand how to get things done for the american people. i lead the country through the covid crisis this is, can we do one more take look, i'm very young, energetic and handsome. what tell him i doing this for. >> all right, so those were a couple of snippets of the ad but you saw that joke at the end. i mean, they're clearly i you know, they've clearly decided they have to put this age thing in the stuff that they're pushing voters. >> yeah, it's a contrast from what we've been seeing them president say on age in the past, i was at that press conference. he did after the special counsel's report came out and i asked him, what do you say to voters that are concerned about your age? and he was very defensive and said only you care about that saying the media is only ones that really are on this lecture. and post say it's definitely not true for democrats republic look into everyone is saying that they are concerned about his age and clearly they are taking that issue had on trying to defuse it with humor, but also trying to talk about wisdom and experience and making this contrast about the age of ideas between him and trump. but i think, democrats were excited to see this ad over the weekend. they feel that he's taking it head on and doing he didn't that is effective. we'll see what voters say. i talked to some voters over the weekend, one at his event outside of philadelphia, and she said she did not watch the state of the union because she was so stressed that he might stumble or show his age. she read about it the next morning and felt that he did a good job in she was excited about that, but couldn't bring herself to watch it. >> that is >> yeah. >> it's a very on the nose >> anecdote right there. >> all right. let's take one quick pause because i do want to switch gears just a little bit because republican senator katie britt is now acknowledging critics who have criticized her state of the union response. britt used in that speech, an anecdote about a woman when who was sex trafficked by cartels. it wasn't attempt to highlight the border crisis under president biden's watch. while britt did meet that woman during a trip to the border, she left out the fact that the events that she described happened in mexico more than a decade before biden took office? >> to be clear, the story that you relate is not something that's happened under the biden administration that particular person >> but i very, very clearly said i spoke to a woman who told me about when she was trafficked, when she was 12. so i didn't say a teenager. i didn't say a young woman, a grown on woman, a woman when she was trafficked, when she was 12 >> matt, i mean, this is far from the only piece of the speech that's being criticized. it's being kind of broadly in fact here, let's just show a little bit of what snl handled the katie britt response watch in america. my name is katie britt's tonight. i'll be auditioning for the part of scary mom i'll be performing an original monologue this country is hell i'm not just a senator, i'm a wife, a mother, and the craziest in the target parking lot scarlet johanson, ladies and gentlemen matt she's clearly having her time in the barrel, but >> what this was a significant thing, right? like a significant piece of her speech was aimed at immigration and she was trying to make a point about president biden and the basic facts of that anecdote just don't line up yeah, this was a very interesting moment for her just because so much of the speech was focused on this issue. so you would end it's not like republicans are not continuously focused on any anecdote coming out of the border at the moment. so for this to an anecdote that they weren't able to land. here is one a bit confused using just in preparation for this speech. and i think underscores a lot of the other fumbles that she had throughout this process of trying to come up with a coherent response to biden's state of the union, where it seems obtuse. i shall say, where do we think this puts her on the vp list for donald trump? >> i think it sets up a little bit. i was never fully sure that she was near the top of that list. there's a bunch of people that have been out campaigning with trump, making their interest in the role very clear. i think this is probably a setback, but with trump, you never really know where people are sending at any given moment. and there's still months away till the convention. think the expectation is that pick is coming a little bit later, clip and save. >> you don't really know with trump, indeed in tyler pager, matt brown. thank you, guys, both very much. i really appreciate it. >> kinda. next, talk about march

44, 44 the clock is ticking this week as congress is set to vote on the fate of one of the world's most downloaded apps. tiktok, bipartisan legislation passed a house committee last week that would effectively ban tiktok in america. it would force tiktok's parent company, bytedance to dismantle its ownership position within 165 days. in the wake of the vote, tiktok prompted its users to call their representatives explaining why the app should not be banned in the united states. >> if the >> bill passes, the house would still need to clear the senate where there appears to be some additional resistance. here's what senator lindsey graham said over the weekend >> i'm really conflicted here. i know this about social media. they're ruining america, banning tiktok. maybe that's necessary to protect american data from china. but if you can find way to avoid that, that'd be good to all right. >> joining me now is one of the authors of that bill congressman raja krishnamoorthi, congressman, thanks so much for being here. thank you. casey so first of all, this, the fact that tiktok responded to this unanimous situation where you're passing this bill by putting an alert on these apps telling people to call your offices and then apparently it inundated congressional offices. did you have this experience? yeah. >> basically, what they did is they did a push push notification pop-up that required people to call their representative in order to access the app but what ended up happening is that minor children ended up flooding offices with these calls and they call the offices and said stuff like, what is congress, what's a congressman? can i have my tiktok back? one person called one legislator and impersonated his son and so this is exactly the reason why so many people ended up voting for the bill because tiktok used a geolocation data of minor children's locations to then spread misinformation about the bill. and it turned a bunch of lean yeses and to hard yeses on that day that is i mean, it seems to really refute the argument that they've been trying to make is that they're not going to use the app to generate political actions >> in the united states mean this seems like an explicit contradiction. >> oh, 100%, this is exactly why people were so upset that day. >> it's wild can you explain exactly how this would impact tiktok? it's not a straight out ban, it's not a ban. it's basically two things. one, it's not a ban, it's a choice and it's not about tiktok, it's about bytedance. whether bytedance will basically sell off tiktok this is not without precedent. either. one app called grinder, which is a popular lgbtq app, was owned by china, a chinese company. but once the us government realized that the chinese communist party had access to sensitive data about military and government officials. they forced the sale of that app it sold quickly, and there was no incident for the users i expect the same thing to happen with regard to tiktok >> so can you explain why the control of this data so i don't actually put tiktok on my personal phone because i honestly, the only reason i have i've recently downloaded it i'm old compared to all the tiktok users on my work phone. but you have there are concerns about what information is on this device that if i download tiktok onto this is i am giving two at the moment, chinese authorities, can you explain what more we know about this? >> sure. it will. first of all, your location would be known secondly, you're any personal identifiable information, any messages, any any sensitive data that you and trust to the apps on your phone that tiktok could get access to >> we >> know that they have nefariously use some of this data in the past forbes recently wrote articles saying that some of their reporters were targeted for reporting on tiktok. and so this is a grave concern. >> do you think the president's campaign should be using tiktok? >> well, i don't want to, i don't want to instruct the present and how to campaign. i don't have tiktok on my personal phone is big dan from government devices. but i think people should just use it very cautiously right now. it's legal to use, obviously, but i would just use it cautiously >> do you should should is any is any political campaign taking a risk if they are putting the app on phones that also include other campaign data >> i personally think there's a risk if you put tiktok on your phone for the same reasons that we are concerned about the national security threats and forming this bill a, it has access to your data and b, it is the ccp. ultimately that's, that has control over the algorithm so what is the future here for this bill? and then we heard senator graham express some sort of concern about it. it's come from some other corners as well. i mean, do you think that this ultimately is going to become law? >> i think so, but i think it's going to require obviously, our house passage working with the senate, the president has ready said that they're going to sign this if it passes congress. so we've worked extensively with the white house and with republicans to fashion a compromise bill. i'm hopeful, but we have a lot of hard work to do. >> how big of a threat fundamentally do you think china is us right now >> i think they pose a real risk in terms of our economic position are technological position, as you can see with tiktok and our national security i think that we can take steps to deal with it without veering into open hostilities. poll after poll says that americans believe that china is one of our top national security concerns. but they also say, don't go to war don't have open hostilities with china. so that's the fine line that we have to walk. >> yeah. fair enough. so on a slightly different topic too, but it's still in the national security realm. the former president, donald trump, he had once called on tiktok ban. he's going to have reverse that position. what's your take on why? >> i don't know? >> some people think it's a campaign contribution. i have no idea, but a lot of my republican colleagues are equally befuddled and i saw that a lot of them came out over the weekend kind of doubling down on their position with regard to tiktok, that it is a national security risks and that we have to do something about it do you think that former president trump should get classified briefings once he becomes the nominee, especially considering the charges in the classified docs case i think that is the tradition. i think it makes sense. obviously, you have to take certain precautions. i always think that with regard to national security information, it should be done in a scif. you should show somebody in a secure, compartmentalized facility, show them the documents in that facility, take the documents back at the end of their perusal of those documents? it's the same way that we members of congress handle them. and you don't hear about too many of these issues with members of congress walking walking out of the scif with classified documents >> all right. >> congressman, you're going to stick around and join us a little bit later or show as we continue our conversation. thank you very much for being here this morning. i really appreciate it. >> all right. time now for sports south carolina beat lsu for the woman's sec championship in a game that was marred by a scuffle and mass ejections. carolyn manno has as more in this morning's bleacher report, carolyn, good morning. good morning. kasie. this was a highly anticipated rematch. you have to really confident elite teams, undefeated south carolina, that sending national champs and lsu. so some physicality expected in this meeting, but things went too far with south carolina's best player, possibly suspended for the first game of the cwa tournament. now, chaos in the final minutes, what a flight broke out near mid-court after giving the ball stolen lsu guard flau'jae johnson shoves south carolina's ashlyn watkins, which prompted south carolina star forward camila cardozo to push johnson to the floor. and that's when players and bolts teams left the bench, which is not allowed to join the fray. a man from the stands to the broadcast identified as johnson's brother, jumping over the scores table and onto the court before ultimately being detained by security. so this was crazy cause about a 20 minute delay. officials rejecting cargo. so five other players and cardozo who's the teams leading scorer in rebounder, may not be available now for the opening round of the ncw tournament in that first game, south carolina ending up winning by seven to capture the eighth sec tournament crown and ten years. but afterwards, the coaches from both teams, addressing the melee >> no one wants to see that ugliness. but i'm tell you this i wish she would have pushed angel reese don't push a kid the eu 68, don't push somebody that little that was uncalled for in my opinion. >> and our league things get heated no bad intentions their emotions so far sometimes these things happen. it's all want to apologize for us plan a pardon? that's not what we are. that that will weigh >> feeling clark adding another chapter, her legendary career on sunday continues. clark and her iowa hawkeyes facing nebraska for the big ten tournament title. husker selden, 11 point lead the half before clark went to work, she scored 30 of her 34 and the second half riling her team to force overtime and trailing by one with under a minute left to else. but clark nailing the three we give the hot guys the lead for good as iowa claims its third straight big ten championship. and afterwards parks that she knew that they would find a way to win even been down seven with two minutes supply. we never gave up and this is definitely the hardest one is three, the room my heart is i'm just so proud of our groups are resilient these brands are

unfortunate duration between south carolina >> yes. i've >> look, the lesson here is, let's just all be like caitlin clark. all right. she's she's a legend. she's humble. >> she's got it together.
