(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
BECKY ANDERSON, CNN HOST, CONNECT THE WORLD: In just a few hours, U.S. President Donald Trump will welcome the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin
Netanyahu, to the White House. It is 09:00 a.m. in Washington. It's 06:00 p.m. here in Abu Dhabi from our Middle East programming headquarters.
I'm Becky Anderson. You're watching "Connect the World". Also coming up, a person who had been detained for questioning in the search for Nancy
Guthrie has now been released. I'm going to get you live to the scene in Arizona. And the Canadian Prime Minister says he is devastated after a mass
shooting which killed nine people.
Stock market in New York opens about 30 minutes from now. Futures getting a boost after the U.S. jobs report showed non-farm payrolls rose more than
expected, and the unemployment rate dropped. More on that coming up. I want to start in Canada with Canadians reeling, frankly, after the country's
deadliest school shooting in decades.
At least nine are dead after an attacker opened fire on Tuesday. The shootings took place in Tumbler Ridge, that is in British Columbia, a
remote mounting community. This video shows students being evacuated from the high school. Police discovered six people dead inside the building, as
well as the suspect.
One victim died on the way to hospital, and another two bodies were found in a local home. Well, Canada's Prime Minister wrote that he is, quote,
devastated by the quote, horrific shootings. British Columbia's Premier also spoke late on Tuesday.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DAVID EBY, PREMIER OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: The devastation these families face. You know, it's just impossible to understand what they're going
through without going through it yourself. But I can say for myself, and I'm sure for many British Columbians, many Canadians, it makes us think
about our kid's safety when they're going to school.
We take it for granted. You go to school. You come home safe. And events like this give us pause.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: Well, CNN's Paula Newton is tracking the very latest for us. She is live in the Canadian capital of Ottawa. And Paula, it's good to have you
this hour. Lots of questions around what happened here? What more do we know about the victims and our police at this point revealing any details
about the suspect? Let's start there.
PAULA NEWTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Not many details at all. We had one press conference late yesterday evening. It is early morning, still in British
Columbia, but I have to tell you, Becky, authorities were being very guarded. Let me take you back to what happened.
It was the early afternoon in that British Columbia town. About 2500 people there, Becky. They were given an active shooter alert on their phones.
Everybody needed to shelter in place. Authorities say police were there within two minutes at the high school, they found six people already
deceased one, another person died on the way to hospital.
They say they also found the suspect there who died of a self-inflicted injury, they're saying, but also two others who were deceased at a home in
the community. And add to all of this, Becky, the fact that at least 25 people were injured. Now, thankfully, this is a very small community.
The health clinic is a short walk away from the school. They were able to secure the area, get those that needed help to that health clinic, and some
of those were also medevacked away. What is really at the central issue here is the suspect. What would have motivated this?
Police were very clear that they may never know. They will not say anything about the suspects. Certainly, haven't released a name. But what we go back
to, Becky, and they confirmed, authorities confirm this is the description of the active shooter that they gave in the early afternoon hours, and that
was of a woman in a dress with brown hair.
They wouldn't say anything about weapons, whether or not there was more than one, and we await more information from them. But you can imagine the
frustration within the community, as parents were and other loved ones were told to shelter in place, right, Becky.
I mean, there was a daycare within line of sight of that school as well. Everyone was supposed to shelter in place without knowing what had happened
to their loved ones in that school.
[09:05:00]
ANDERSON: Absolutely terrifying. Paula, as you get more, of course, come back to us. We'll let you go so you can continue your work. Thank you for
that update. Paula Newton there. Well, we are following major developments in the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of the NBC Host Savannah
Guthrie.
Late on Tuesday, a man was detained by authorities, questioned about Guthrie and then released without charges in Rio Rico in Arizona, he was
detained during a traffic stop about 60 miles from the Tucson area where Guthrie was last seen. The man, who says he works as a delivery driver,
told "The New York Times" he was shocked at being connected to the case and had nothing to do with Guthrie's disappearance.
Authorities also searched his home in Rio Rico. CNN spoke with a woman named Josefina, who says she lives inside that property. Have a listen.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOSEFINA, SAYS HOME SEARCHED IN GUTHRIE CASE: I don't know who she is. I don't know anything about her. They only said that they gave a tip that she
was in my house, and I told them, you can go in and search for house. There's nobody there. I have nothing to hide. There's nobody in my house,
and I don't know what's going on.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: Well, this all comes on the hill of a major breakthrough in the case. Authorities released video and images on Tuesday showing a masked,
armed person at Nancy Guthrie's door the night she disappeared. Now Google was able to recover that video from Guthrie's nest camera, as it's known,
the camera there on the home.
CNN's Ivan Rodriguez following the story for us. Just remind us how many days in we are now since Nancy Guthrie disappeared? And what more you can
tell us about the investigation at this point?
IVAN RODRIGUEZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Becky, good morning. We're now entering day 11 of the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, and at
this point, is the most information that we've had in the last several days. Ever since those images were released by the FBI, less than 24 hours
ago, we've now seen how that investigation is progressing, and Rio Rico was one example of that.
You mentioned one person was detained and then released. Authorities also searching another home there in Rio Rico as well. And interestingly enough,
we heard a sound bite there from a woman in Rio Rico. That woman also telling CNN that when she was in Tucson, driving south to Rio Rico, back to
her home.
Authorities were already inside of her home and had broken her door to get in. So again, it paints a picture of how intense the investigation is. But
also, Becky, this is also just an example of how they're following leads, because we know that they're not just looking at Rio Rico.
They're also continuing to look in other areas here in the Tucson area, going back to Annie Guthrie's home, and that neighborhood, coming back to
the neighborhood here, speaking with neighbors, trying to get all the information that they can. That's largely in part because all of the new
tips and leads that they're getting in to the Pima County Sheriff's Department, for example.
They're even saying and asking people not to call in with opinions and theories, just giving an example there of how many more tips they're trying
to get from people, how interested people are in finding some sort of resolution to this case, not to mention how the Guthrie family is feeling
now.
Shortly after those images and videos were released by the FBI, Savannah Guthrie also posted those images on her own Instagram, saying that we
believe that our mom is still out there and to bring her home. And behind me here is Nancy Guthrie's home. You can see pretty much how it's covered
in the front yard with trees, foliage, other bushes, and that's why it's been so difficult to obtain any sort of surveillance footage from this
area, because the homes are so far back from the road.
So now that we have that clear image of this person approaching Nancy Guthrie's front door. Authorities really hope someone might be able to
recognize who this person is, especially those who recognize the specific movements of this person. We know in past investigations, that's been
something that's been very helpful for investigations, for investigators to find a potential suspect.
ANDERSON: And more as we get it. Thank you. Ivan Rodriguez, there on the ground in Arizona for you. Well, a newly unredacted document in the Epstein
files is raising new questions about just how much President Trump knew about Jeffrey Epstein's abuse.
Now the document details a 2019 FBI interview with a Former Palm Beach County Florida Police Chief, he says, in a phone call with Mr. Trump,
around 2006 the future president, said he was glad police were stopping Epstein because, as quoted in the document, quote, everyone has known he
has been doing this. Kevin Liptak following developments for us from Washington, Kevin.
[09:10:00]
KEVIN LIPTAK, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE REPORTER: Yeah, and this is sort of an intriguing development, you know, this phone call that the president placed
to the Palm Beach County Sheriffs came after Jeffrey Epstein was under investigation. So, there's no suggestion here that President Trump was
somehow the first one to tip off the police department about what Epstein was doing.
But it does seem to lend some, you know, more texture to what we know about what President Trump knew about what Epstein was doing, which has been an
open question, really, dating back several years. You know, the president has said as recently as 2019 that he was unaware of what Jeffrey Epstein's
alleged crimes were.
He has said that he kicked Epstein out of his Mar-a-Lago club down in Palm Beach were allegedly stealing workers from him, but he had said that he
didn't know what Epstein was doing with them. And this seems to suggest that the president did, in fact, have some inkling that Epstein was doing,
quote, disgusting things, which is what he told the Palm Beach Sheriff.
The other interesting, you know, fact that the president made in this phone call was that the sheriff should look at Ghislaine Maxwell. You know, that
is, of course, Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice in all of that. The president said in this phone call that she was, quote, evil.
That too contrasts somewhat with how the president has described Maxwell since then. You know, when she was arrested in 2019, he said, he quotes,
wished her well. So, there are some inconsistencies here between how the president was describing the situation back in 2006 and how he was
describing it back now.
You know, now that he is president. You know, the White House has sort of waffled on this in some ways. The Press Secretary, Karoline Leavitt said
yesterday that she could not confirm one way or the other whether this phone call did or didn't happen. She seems to be sort of harkening on this
idea that the president was trying to raise flags about all of this very early on.
She's suggesting that this corroborates some of what the White House has said and what the president has said about kicking Jeffrey Epstein out of
Mar-a-Lago because he was a creep, but I think altogether, it still lends this idea that the president hasn't necessarily been entirely consistent
with how he has described his knowledge of what Jeffrey Epstein was doing.
ANDERSON: We continue to follow this story. It's good to have you, Kevin. Thank you. Kevin, is that just outside the White House in Washington. Well,
in Washington today, the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he is due to sit down with President Donald Trump at the White House in the next
couple of hours, with one issue topping his list, the ongoing U.S. negotiations with Iran.
Mr. Netanyahu looking to protect Israel's interests ahead of the next round of nuclear talks, which appear to be taking shape potentially next week,
against a tense backdrop. President Trump saying Iran would be foolish not to make a deal. And now tells Axios, he is thinking about sending a second
Naval Strike Group to the Middle East.
CNN's Jerusalem Correspondent Jeremy Diamond, joining us now. Jeremy, what is Netanyahu's agenda for this trip? Is it clear?
JEREMY DIAMOND, CNN JERUSALEM CORRESPONDENT: Well, the bottom line here is that the Israel and the Israeli Prime Minister have watched as these talks
between Iran and the United States seem to be gaining some traction, and they have watched with concern as President Trump has suggested the
possibility of a deal with Iran that would only impacts the area of nuclear weapons and nuclear proliferation.
A deal that could potentially not address the other two key issues that Israel would like to see addressed here, which are Iran's ballistic missile
program as well as its support of regional proxies such as groups like Hezbollah and Hamas, which Israel has gone to war with over the course of
the last two years.
And so, the Israeli Prime Minister is certainly going to be aiming to make sure that those issues of ballistic missiles and regional proxy support
remain a focus of these negotiations between Iran and the United States that they are not left by the wayside. Two Israeli sources also telling us
that the Israeli Prime Minister intends to discuss military options with the Trump Administration as well.
Should that diplomacy ultimately fail? And we understand that Israel is quite skeptical at this stage that these negotiations will actually succeed
in reaching the kind of deal that Israel would deem acceptable. And another question that we have to ask here is what lines the Israeli Prime Minister
is going to lay down here in terms of whether Israel might act unilaterally.
[09:15:00]
Should the United States agree to a deal with Iran that doesn't meet Israel's red lines? And therefore, Israel would retain its option of acting
militarily against Iran without the support of the United States. We know that the Israeli Prime Minister already sat down last night at Blair House,
just right down the street from the White House, with Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, the two key U.S. negotiators who traveled to Oman last week
to meet with Omani mediators, as well as with the Iranian negotiators themselves.
And Prime Minister Netanyahu, will then be sitting down with President Trump today, in just the next couple of hours. As of now, that meeting is
expected to be closed to the press, very different from the way that things have unfolded in the past during Netanyahu's now seven visits to the White
House during President Trump's current term.
But obviously always the possibility of the president inviting reporters in and making comments at a very critical meeting here between the U.S.
President and the Israeli Prime Minister, Becky.
ANDERSON: Good and that meeting as we understand it a couple of hours from now. Jeremy, thank you for the time being. And we will get back to
Washington as when we see evidence that meeting has started and we get any word on its content. Thank you.
As we wait for the next round of talks, then between Washington and Tehran, Iranians are taking to the streets, marking 47 years since the Islamic
Revolution with displays of defiance and unity. More on what this moment means, up next.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
ANDERSON: OK, and just some developing news here on CNN, the airspace over El Paso, Texas has now been reopened after the U.S. Federal Aviation
Authority or the FAA had closed it for security reasons. Now, the temporary restriction came into effect late on Tuesday, and was expected to last for
10 days.
Nap men, all flights at El Paso International Airport were grounded, including medical evacuations. Well, let's bring in CNN's Correspondent
Pete Muntean live in Washington. What's been going on here? Just explain.
PETE MUNTEAN, CNN AVIATION CORRESPONDENT: It is rather a bit of whiplash, as somebody described it here. Now the Federal Aviation Administration has
ended Becky this sweeping ban of flights 10 miles in diameter, over El Paso, Texas. The airport billed there as the gateway to Mexico, pretty
significant a city of about a million people, a restriction like this was without precedent.
[09:20:00]
Never in recent history has the Federal Aviation Administration done an outright ban on all flights over a U.S. city. A lot of people have compared
this to 911 that was a nationwide emergency ban only city specific restrictions went into place after the attacks.
We didn't really know the initial reason, but now that mystery is finally getting lifted. And I'm hearing from a source who has been briefed by the
Federal Aviation Administration that this was all related to military counter drone measures at nearby Fort Bliss, specifically the Army Air
Field, known as Biggs Army Air Field, which is just north of El Paso International Airport there.
The FAA put in this blanket ban for flights because it was concerned, according to the source that the FAA could not assure the safety of flights
from those drone counter measures, which include some laser technology, which can be very, very concerning to pilots. We know that lasers fired
from the ground, if you get one off of Amazon, a high-powered laser can blind pilots temporarily, which is a huge concern.
The biggest and most important instrument in any airplane is a pilot's eyes. And now we're getting this new reporting from our -- and Zach Cohen
that says that the military was concerned about a potential drone incursion, meaning a drone near the military base immediately over the
Mexican border.
They called it a Mexican cartel drone, which caused these airspace closures to go into place. Seems like there was a bit of a disconnect here. The left
hand not talking to the right. Some concerns and measures taken by the military, the Federal Aviation Administration, put into place this ban.
Now, this ban has been lifted. Only lasted about nine hours, went into place overnight, and it was a really big mystery as to why it went into
place. Now it seems that this is now ending, but some big questions here about why there was so much confusion at the beginning, really leading
airlines to scramble and flights to cancel.
Seems that airlines, though, will be able to spool back up and things will be back to normal here pretty quickly.
ANDERSON: Well, yeah, it's good to have you Pete and thank you. That is the very latest there over El Paso Texas. Thank you. Well, thousands are
gathering in cities across Iran to mark the 47th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution. A show of strength from supporters of the regime at a moment,
of course, of heightened tension with the United States President Donald Trump told Axios, in the past 24 hours.
He is quote, thinking about sending another U.S. aircraft carrier strike group to the Middle East, a move that would keep up military pressure on
Tehran, even as these negotiations are expected to continue. And despite those talks, little surprise that many pro regime voices inside Iran are
expressing deep skepticism. Have a listen.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
AHMAD RAMEZANI, SUPPORTER OF IRANIAN REGIME: In the current situation, negotiations are of little use, because what they have prepared in advance
and are telling you to accept is not very useful for our country.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
ANDERSON: And Sina Azodi, the Director for Middle East Studies Program at George Washington University, joining me now live from Washington. Look,
let's just pick apart a little of what we understand to be going on here. Trump's Axios comments. He said, we have an armada that is heading there,
and another one might be going.
These comments certainly suggest that Donald Trump is signaling sort of increased leverage in these negotiations. What do you read into what we
heard in his exchange with Axios?
SINA AZODI, DIRECTOR FOR MIDDLE EAST STUDIES PROGRAM AT GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY: Well, it's good to be with you, Becky. Look, I think the
president has taken the concept of gunboat diplomacy literally, which means that I know he likes to send, you know, warships, you know, aircraft
carriers, as much as he can, to show off to Iranians.
And to, you know, basically convey to them that either you submit to my demands, the three demands that he has over the nuclear program, the
missile program, and the proxy forces, or you're going to have to deal with the aircraft carriers and the possibility of war.
I think I said it on your show last time that I think a deal on the nuclear program is quite possible, or even the proxy forces, but I don't think that
the Iranians would back down on the issue of the missile program.
ANDERSON: And that's what I want to discuss next, of course, because Tehran has said it is willing to discuss the nuclear program, but flatly rejects
U.S. demands to limit its missile capabilities. We know that the missile, the ballistic missile program and its capabilities are a huge concern to
Israel, and the Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is in Washington today.
[09:25:00]
Clearly Iran is going to be front and center in those conversations. Is it clear at this point? I mean look Benjamin Netanyahu might want Donald Trump
to speak on behalf of Israel. He might want to impose himself within these negotiations. As far as you can tell, what sort of distance is there, if
any, between Donald Trump and Netanyahu at this point when it comes to these negotiations?
AZODI: Well, I think that my sense is that President Trump is mostly concerned about the nuclear program, whereas Prime Minister Netanyahu
really likes to pressure the U.S. President to include other issues as well, that is the missile program and even the proxy forces.
I think that he would pressure the president, who has some isolationist tendencies, to go with maximalist demands and basically force Iranians to
give up on the missile program, which is a -- quite a threat to the Israelis and the nuclear program, plus the proxy forces. But as I said
again, you can find a solution on the proxy forces.
Iranians in 2003 offered the George W. Bush Administration to discuss the proxy forces, particularly Hezbollah, and help, you know, Hezbollah to
transform into a political organization. But I don't believe that Iranians, or any country for that matter, that doesn't have access to arms market to
give up on the backbone of its national security strategy.
And we also have to keep in mind that from Tehran's perspective, while the nuclear program and the proxy forces failed in 2025 the conflict, but the
missile program, at least from their perspective, work quite effectively against the Israelis, and that makes them more entrenched when it comes to
the missile program.
ANDERSON: I want to ask you this. I certainly want to get your view on how close we are to a dangerous escalation. I mean, you've written that quote,
diplomatic signaling between Iran and the U.S. is being rapidly crowded out by chest-thumping deterrent posturing, narrowing the space for de-
escalation.
I want to put this to you. Donald Trump has been very clear. He hated the 2015 deal. He said he can cut a better one. And at this point, when you
look at what this Trump Administration is up to, it is very transactional and what it wants, you could argue out of Iran, going forward would be
resources, including, at this point, rare earths.
So again, I wonder whether we are in some ways stuck in the kind of old view or the traditional view of what U.S.-Iranian negotiation looks like,
and whether we aren't, at least in principle, considering what we actually know about this very different Donald Trump negotiation and administration.
Your thoughts?
AZODI: Well, I think the president is really interested, has a 20th century mindset of, you know, natural resources, oil, minerals, things like that.
And Iran is the is the best place for either oil or rare minerals, especially given the fact that China is now one of the biggest, you know,
customers of Iran's minerals, oil.
And when you think of the President Trump's thinking that everything is about great power competition, I think that he would like to make sure that
Iran doesn't sell oil or minerals to the Chinese. But the problem is, any Iranians have expressed willingness to engage in business with the United
States.
The problem are the U.S. sanctions, primary and secondary sanctions that prevent American companies or foreign companies to go to Iran.
ANDERSON: Sure.
AZODI: Now, if there is a deal with Iran, if sanctions are lifted, Iranians have said it publicly that they're willing to engage with the United
States. Their economy is open for business with the United States. And I think the president has that kind of mindset would be very much inclined to
do business with Iranian.
But again, there are a lot of outside pressures. There is domestic pressure in Iran. There's domestic pressure in the United States.
ANDERSON: Yeah.
AZODI: That really tries to prevent de-escalation between the two countries. I mean, think of it. How many senators or Congressmen or women
are willing to stand up one day and say, enough of 47 years of competition and adversarial relations.
[09:30:00]
Let us think about a better future with Iranians.
ANDERSON: Yeah.
AZODI: So, I think that there is a possibility, but there's too much animosity between the two countries.
ANDERSON: Understood. It's good to have you. Sina, thank you. And I just want to squeeze in ahead of a break the opening bell on Wall Street. There
we go. It is 09:30 local time in the U.S., certainly on the East Coast, at least. That is New York -- that is the New York Stock Exchange.
The bell is rung by AGI and investors out of the gate. Let's have a look at what the DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL average is up about a half of 1 percent out
of the gate above 50,000 that was a key level. So, it seems nothing holding back these markets at present, futures indicating all three of the main
stock markets will open higher.
We will get back to those momentarily taking a short break. Back after this.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
ANDERSON: Welcome back. I'm Becky Anderson in Abu Dhabi. You are watching "Connect the World". Well, we've just had a look at the market. Certainly,
the DOW JONES INDUSTRIAL average is higher by about a sixth of 1 percent. The NASDAQ and the S&P both also hire by a similar amount.
A couple of minutes into the trading day. Those markets reacting to the U.S. jobs report, the data showing that hiring has picked up this year,
adding 130,000 jobs in January, that is, I have to say, significantly higher than the 75,000 that economists were expecting.
My next guest, Art Hogan, Chief Market Strategist at B. Riley Wealth Management, joining us now. The reaction of these markets does not surprise
me. It will not surprise you. Those are decent figures. And we will have to look a couple of months down the line to see whether they are revised in
any way. Are you surprised by those numbers?
ART HOGAN, CHIEF MARKET STRATEGIST AT B. RILEY WEALTH MANAGEMENT: I'm very, very surprised. I think obviously the intent to hire that we saw coming out
of the NFIB Small Business Survey yesterday was actually a positive and showed some stabilization.
But the jobs listings numbers, the job opening and labor turnover numbers last week. We're a bit light of expectation. So, this is kind of a
conundrum where I am right now. I think that we're not exactly sure how many jobs, we need to create on a monthly basis to keep unemployment in
check, but certainly the 130 was good enough. We saw unemployment tick down a 10th of a percent.
[09:35:00]
But I think there was some guessing going on yesterday, as we had a couple of White House officials come out and warn about a soft labor market
because of increases in productivity brought forward by new technology like artificial intelligence. So, I think everyone was on the wrong foot for
this number.
But at the end of the day, its unambiguously good news, right? So, we're creating more jobs. That means we'll have more consumer spending, which
will drive earnings, which is good for markets. So, the only negative takeaway from this, if there is one, is that that likely pushes out the
concept of any rate cuts by the Fed well into the middle of the year, whereas there had been some expectations we might see another rate cut in
June.
ANDERSON: You're right.
HOGAN: So, I think for today, it's interesting. The most important piece of economic data we get any given month is the jobs report and then the CPI,
and we're getting both of those this week. So, it's a blockbuster week for economic data.
ANDERSON: Yeah, and you've just answered what would have been my next obvious question, which is the impact on interest rates. So, thank you for
that. When you step back, and you know, consider these numbers, we can see the markets taking off on the back of these and you know, perhaps
understandably so.
When you step back, though, we are what you know, week or so into February, halfway through the first quarter of the year. What are you looking at
going forward up?
HOGAN: Well, I will tell you this. We're kind of rounding up the end of the fourth quarter earnings reporting season, which has been much better than
expectations. Nearly 80 percent of companies that have reported is about 325 S&P 500 companies report, nearly 80 percent of them beat on the
earnings estimates, and 73 percent beat on the revenue estimates.
But more importantly, I think 53 percent of companies have actually taken their guidance up for this calendar year. So, the average estimate for the
S&P 500 moved from $307 to $312 just this week. I think that means there's a better fundamental backdrop. We can have a solid year in markets without
a lot of multiple expansion.
I think that's really important. So, the fundamental backdrop is good. More importantly to me is this has been a year where investors have broadened
out their attention and focus on things not just related to artificial intelligence. So, some of the best performing sectors in the S&P 500 are
things that are industrials and materials and utilities and financials and health care.
So, you know, the last couple of years, it's just been technology and communication services, and we're seeing a broad swath of other sectors
that are actually now seen some sponsorship.
ANDERSON: Yeah, I think I was just looking at these job's numbers. Excuse me, I'm just getting over a bit of flu, just looking at these numbers. And
I think it's important pick up where you just left off there. A significant number of new jobs in health care, a very and I'm talking about 82,000 I
think, if I'm right in saying some 5000 jobs in manufacturing.
Now, when you think about where this administration is focused, do you expect, I mean, is that sort of number on the manufacturing side, good
enough, do you believe?
HOGAN: What's the first positive number we've seen in three months of jobs reports in manufacturing? So yeah, there hasn't been a massive increase in
manufacturing, and the promised manufacturing renaissance has just not started yet, right? So, if, in fact, we're going to get that in the
resurgence of manufacturing, it's hard to say, get what part of that phase we're in.
Obviously, we're sort of doing a lot of build out of data centers, and that's a labor-intensive product, but you're not seeing overall increases
in manufacturing. This is the first bump we've seen in the last three jobs reports. So yeah, that's to be determined yet. But I would say the healthy
sectors that we're seeing a lot of the employment coming from both private education and health care.
The health care jobs there are certainly makes sense in terms of the aging demographic that we have in the United States. So, all of that makes sense.
But in the near term, if you're looking for this sort of return of domestic manufacturing, it just hasn't started yet, and it's hard to know if that's
actually going to come to fruition.
ANDERSON: These stock markets are in good shape. Our next time we talk, let's hope they continue to be so, at least for investors who want these
markets to go higher, run out of time today, but it's always good to pick your brains about you know where we are at and where we are going forward.
So, thank you for that. We'll have you, back.
HOGAN: Thank you --
ANDERSON: There's been another managerial change at Tottenham Hotspur. Another home loss for spurs in the English Premier League. Now Thomas Frank
has learned his fate. Stay with us for more on that.
[09:40:00]
ANDERSON: Well, the revolving door at White Hart Lane continues for the Lilywhites, after just eight months in charge. Tottenham have sacked their
manager, Thomas Frank, the final store, it seems at least coming in Tuesdays two on loss at home to Newcastle United.
Groundhog Day for these long-suffering spurs fan. I'm joined now by Patrick Snell. Your thoughts.
PATRICK SNELL, CNN WORLD SPORT: Oh, Becky. I was going to ask you your thoughts. I may ask you, who comes next? I mean look, this is really
disappointing for Tottenham. First up, I'll just reflect on where they are right now in the table. They're in 16th place.
They're 5 points above the drop zone. This is not good enough for a club you know this of their magnitude. Remember even winning the Europa Cup last
season. That wasn't good enough to keep Ange Postecoglou in the job. This is really disappointing for Thomas Frank.
There have been such high hopes around him and look at the form in the Champions League, Becky, start contrast, finishing fourth in the Champions
League table, looking really good.
ANDERSON: Yeah.
