march 19, right now on cnn this morning >> donald trump claiming it's practically impossible for him to pay a $464 million bond. just one of two big legal problems on the horizon this morning for the former president rare protests in the streets of cuba why the communist government is blaming the united states and its primary day voters are going to be voting. republicans hoping an ugly race and ohio will help them flip the senate in november all right, it is fine. hello, am here in washington live. look down the national mall in washington monument, lincoln boreal >> good morning, everyone. it's wonderful to have you on this tuesday morning. i'm kasie hunt another incredibly busy day for the trump legal team, a new york judge overseeing the hush money criminal trial ruling. the trump's former lawyer for michael cohen, and adult film star stormy daniels

will be allowed to testify in a new documentary. daniel said she feared for her life if details of what's now the hush money case came to light? >> now, you're the whole republican party's problem and they like to make their problems go away. it was really about two things trying to keep the story from coming out so that it would not hurt my husband and my daughter and i wouldn't lose my life. and there'll be a paper trail and money trial linking me to donald trump. so that he could not have me killed wow. >> all right. the judge also ruled the access hollywood tape can be discussed during the trial, but that it won't be shown to the jury meanwhile, in the new york civil fraud case, trump's lawyers announced he will not be able to meet a $464 million bond after 30 insurance companies said they simply can't help him. trump needs to

post the bond by monday. axios senior politics reporter eugenie scott here with me this morning. eugene. good morning. morning. >> let's start with the hush money case. this of course, has been delayed a little bit because more material came to light. but this was trump tried to avoid having michael cohen and stormy daniels be able to take the stand here. what do you think this means? >> well, this means is the latest example if things not going the way he wants it to go this is going to be a real issue that he's going to continue to face as he tries to balance these court appearances and campaign rallies and reminding voters are convincing that voters i should say that he can focus on what needs to be focused on in the white house if he's going to have this ongoing legal issues. >> yeah. >> let's talk about what's going on with the bond because of course donald trump built his entire brand on being wealthy. write this case, of course, basically says, is holding them accountable for misrepresenting said wealth but these insurance companies have

basically said like it would be too risky to assure you we're not going to we can't the question i have is what's next? i mean, you train general letitia james has raised the prospect that they could start seizing his assets. >> what does that look like? >> well, he has a few options, right? so he's going to appeal to a core. he can appeal to a court. he can rely on a wealthy supporter he can he can sell something and his team, it's entertaining even bankruptcy, which none of these officers are ideal and all of these present to people that maybe this is someone who perhaps should be focused on something else right now. not only because he's distracted, but to your point earlier, maybe he just isn't who he presented himself to be we don't expect to see the biden white house really mean getting no here they haven't really waited in these court appearances very often, but there have been democrats in congress who've taken a social media and maybe some local interviews trying to make the case that they don't

want their residents. there's the citizens of their state backing this individual. >> how does this cut politically? i mean, we know he's leaned into this idea that system is rigged against him. this was a trial where he showed up in new york defending himself. it worked for him in the primary, but i have to say a lot of times when i i sort of joke it's like my walmart parking lot test covering any political race. it's like you go hang out in the walmart parking lot, just talk to people and get a sense of yeah, of where people are. and when you run into people that i would describe as sometimes they're swing voters, sometimes they're kind of nominal republicans, they're not necessarily the hardest core trump supporters, but kind of one of these basic things that people think in their minds about donald trump as they know him from select celebrity apprentice, the right they think of him as a businessman, right? >> does >> this particular situation where it's going to become known that he's basically out of money that is, businesses are suspect. >> do you think that >> hurts him with with that

kind of a crowd, especially heading into a general election where the people that are going to decide this election are independent voters who worried about the economy and a lot of people who sometimes it was vote and sometimes don't to whom this profile might be important. >> i think it depends on whether or not this news, these stories get to those voters. i was in illinois this past weekend, which votes today in the primaries. i was using, i guess you're walmart tests talking to people and i'm shocked at how much people don't know oh, how tuned dan, people aren't. there were even individuals i can uber who still weren't sure that these two individuals are going to be the nominees. and i was like, we were there. we are there. >> do you feel like i have to say that to people? no. yeah. always it's me >> sure. yes, it's going to happen. and part of that comes from respectfully, just not being adds engaged. they're very busy. they have other things to focus on. and so if this story gets to them, perhaps that will shape how they view him and his possibilities. >> yeah, the two now factor is very real. it's very let's, let's talk for a second. you

mentioned the primary illinois we've got this big senate race in ohio. that is really a bernie moreno who trump was in ohio over the weekend supporting and the rally where he used that bloodbath comment. let's just show a few clips of the ads and kind of what people out in ohio are feeling around this race. watch we love bernie moreno, just serve live outsider bernie moreno mega large president trump wants you to vote in for outsider businessman bernie moreno. trump endorsed bernie moreno for senate. >> so bernie moreno has a very specific message here, but there's still some big chunk of undecided voters in the race. and i think to a certain extent, democrats would be happy to have bernie moreno as their candidate against sherrod brown is one of the last democrat standing statewide in ohio. he's the senator. there. what are you looking for tonight? >> well, that's also that also reminds me of arizona, where democrats are glad kari lake is the gop leader because they think that she is someone that

they can defeat. i'll be looking to see if what democrats really want when it comes to the general election is actually going to happen if there's turnout is going to be as strong as they're thinking it will be. and if perhaps they can, you get control of the senate or maintain control of the senate to the degree that they think will be necessary if biden wins the white house? >> yeah, definitely. i would say when i when i talk to smart folks in this town, the thinking is democrats have a shot to take back the house if they were to hang onto the senate, they would have had a very good night is very much an uphill battle, right? you she's got thanks thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> all right. coming up next, a rare sight in cuba, protests in the streets the cuban government is claiming that the us caused it, will have that plus the former chairman of the joint chiefs set to testify at a high-stakes hearing on the biden administration's withdrawal from afghanistan the san and fitness guru or richard simmons explains what he meant when he told his fans. i'm dying. >> oh, no

unambiguous about this, simon, the united states is not behind >> these protests in cuba and the axes accusation of that is absurd. i think what we are seeing is reflection of the dire situation on the island. we urge the cuban government to refrain from violence and unjust it's detentions and are calling on the authorities to respect the cuban citizens, right to peaceful assembly >> all right. see in an international correspondent, max foster joins us live from london max, good morning. always good to see you. how dire is it in cuba right now? and what are the concerns here? >> well, cost of living, a lot of it. so you've got surging inflation the pessoa is being devalued and patrick oppmann are correspondent. there were saying that states salaries and worth less than the cost of a carton of eggs. if you don't have foreign currency, it's almost impossible to the five there. and often, obviously a lot of people employed by the state, there are paid in the

local currency, price of fuel up by more than 500%. there are power cuts, there were shortages of food. i think there's a sense there as well. i was reading about the rich, poor divide, exaggerating here, what is interesting though is just seeing these demonstrations as you know, casey, they normally clamp down on i'm very quickly. many people arrested in one go, they don't allow these demonstrations. they are allowing it this time. and the blaming the americans basically basically saying, okay, you can see this but it's the fault of the united states so there's a cuban court born congressman at max carlos jimenez. he talks about the protests a little bit yesterday. watch they closed down the internet. they, they become repressive. they they then they put in prison those that are there, the leaders of those movements in order to stay in power in any, any any regime that needs to resort to

those kind of tactics shouldn't exist because that means that the people don't want them >> so this of course, something that plays significantly into us politics in florida, especially in communities around a little havana in miami, et cetera >> what do you >> think is there going to be any international pressure here on the cuban regime? >> well, first of all, if it does turn into a real crisis, food shortages, there'll be a sense that people, nation's need to step in and support cuba. a lot of pressure on the united states. but as you say, there are these political ties, particularly in florida and the fact that sanctions are being blamed here. so hugely sensitive, of course, skirt for americans get too involved. so we'll see what other nations will watch get involved on humanity teren level. but certainly a destabilized cuba isn't good for the region and isn't good for the united states because it's such a complex relationships so much straight but there are people

out chanting opposition slogans, which you haven't seen for some time. and that's it just shows how bold these protests as being in the face of a regime that can be pretty tough. >> yeah, remarkable. all right. max foster for us, live in london. max. thank you very much. i really appreciate it. >> all right. just ahead, a controversial immigration law in texas blocked by the supreme court for now plus national security officials, that's a brief senators on the threat posed by tiktok >> las vegas wouldn't be here if it wasn't in constant state of evolution >> he really get inaugurated a new here up for the stars >> did it get? >> vegas? >> the story of sensitive >> sunday at ten on cnn messed around dumb, having fun, don't pull me down on that with a lack allergies, won't hold me back. >> leg

>> it's chilly. and also what's happening? it's a problem. it's a problem and see what we're doing is we're coming off of the warmest winter that the united states, the lower 48 has ever recorded. so what that does is it sends because the signal to our plants, our crops, hey, we need to bud early. we need to start our growing process. the natural cycle that goes through every single year. and then we get this late seasoned fries. and that's the problem that's the real concern. i mean, look at these temperatures, this is well below freezing. many people planting their crops all the way to atlanta. we are still not at our coldest point of the morning, which typically occurs between 6.8 in the morning. so we do believe that that will drop to around freezing or if not below freezing. and some of the local suburbs now, yes, today actually is officially the first day of spring, not until late this evening, 11 06:00 p.m. eastern standard time, spring in the northern hemisphere, fall in the southern hemisphere, but it certainly won't feel like spring here, where we live in north america, 59% of the population over the next seven

days will experience temperatures below freezing. and we already are across a wide swath of the southern states from texas all the way to north carolina. we did the math for you. >> it's a >> little early to do math, but that's over 800 miles. that's just incredible. so yes, cold temperatures. and you could see how morning los will actually drop off as we head into the weekend for places like dc and new york, today's temperature though we're feeling like what we should feel like in the middle of february for atlanta, charleston were average high right now have 61 while our highest 61, but that's average for the middle of january. so it's just incredible to see these temperatures. we will warm up across the south but a cooldown anticipated across the northeast. so expect this arctic air to continue to impact places like minneapolis grand rapids, michigan, all the way to new york and boston. in fact, there's few snow flurries in the air. just want to bring your attention to this as well. we have below freezing temperatures, but remember last week we were in the '80s and we saw some places with tornadoes that caused the devastation

across so how indiana so as they recover, there's the potential for freezing temperatures and making matters worse, even some snow flurries as well. so difficult situation tough out there. all right. i really man van damme, derrick, thank you very much. see you soon. >> coming >> up next here. funding for border security on the line as lawmaker struggled to reach a really breach a budget deal, excuse me, without shutting down the government. plus former presidential candidate esa hutchinson revealed some of what he'll do and what he won't do in the 20th 24 race for the white house >> cnn central today, and 70. >> this is pickleball is basically tenants for bail babies before adults. >> it should be called willful tennis >> yeah. >> ban them like we got nothing to worry about with e-trade for morgan stanley and they were ready for whatever gets served up. >> do you got to work on your chest? >> i'd rather work on saving for retirement for college

reporter for punchbowl news good morning to both of you. i guess when i start covered when we're covering this again, i mean, yes, it's another crisis week. jackie but somehow like the air is out of the crisis balloon on this in a way that seems to me to affect the politics of shutdown negotiations and things like that. it's almost as though the way republic wilkins handled it by splitting it up. it made the whole thing feel a little bit less impactful. i mean, do you think any of this is actually breaking through with americans and is there any for republicans who keep threatening like, hey, i want, we're going to shut down if you don't give me what i want. like, is there a leveraged come and gone? >> i feel like when you talk to folks not unwashed it about congress there really wasn't a lot of faith to begin with. and so not a lot has been done in the current congress to rebuild that faith. so i think you have a lot of their statement. i will re re there's a real sales job that's going to have to be done before november for these guys. and every time i don't know that they're that they're

paying that much attention to these eye for k1 spending bills that have been i mean, i feel like when you cover this, it's hard to keep track of all the deadlines since now there. so we keep track of it. no one can exactly. but if this does lapse that some people we'll start pay. that's when they will have a problem on their hands. so it seems like this is on track. so andrew, let's talk about the details here. the most complicated one has been homeland security. well, we understand that they have reached broad agreement on this. that seems like a significant step. what what have they agreed on and how do you think they're going to resolve this by the end of the week? >> well, the root of this problem the dhs funding bill is the fact that republicans killed the bipartisan border security bill that was negotiated between the senate and the white house earlier this year. so because there's no new funding for the border, there aren't updated policies and funding approaches as to handle the crisis at the border. that's why you're seeing these last-minute negotiations. and what's fascinating is over the weekend, democrats actually had

some intraparty fighting of their own, which is quite rare on this on this issue democrats on the hill versus the white house at the white house, they wanted something more of a continuing resolution, basically, continuing the same spending same policies for the border, whereas democrats on the hill wanted something more in something that actually had changes to the policies for ever less. well, they wanted funding for things like detention beds, things like that. right. so to increase capacity for border patrol. so i thought it was fascinating that you did see some splits with democrats there. but it's not surprising to me that we're at this point where obviously we're staring down a deadline. this is the most contentious funding bill. it always is mostly because at this point, the republicans killed the bipartisan border security bill. >> now it's excellent on texts and thank you for that. you also had a scoop, andrew, about the intel chairman mark warner, commerce chair maria cantwell

holding a classified briefing on tiktok this obviously, i mean, the majority leader, chuck schumer, has to decide whether to put this on the floor of the senate. what's the purpose of this briefing? what do you think lawmakers are going to hear and what's the future of the potential ban? >> so this exact >> briefing is what house >> members got right before they voted on there tiktok bill that bill got 352 votes. so at this point, it's basically impossible for the senate to ignore this legislation. what i think is interesting is that you have the white house taking a wait-and-see approach. the president is saying, he supports the bill. he would sign it into law if it gets to his desk. that's very different than putting putting a concerted push behind it. in trying to get it over the finish line like he has with the border security deal that from earlier this year or with ukraine aid, things like that. and what's fascinating about this briefing in particular is that you have two individuals who are on opposite sides of this, of this tiktok bill warren wants to ban it, can't well says no exactly the issue

here is that the intelligence committee chairman knows a lot about the national security threats represented by tiktok, right? but then the commerce committee is technically the committee of jurisdiction for this legislation, right? so let's talk about taking it up in committee, marking it up, things like that. it's really notable at the chair of that committee doesn't support this legislation. so at the leadership level, chuck schumer is going to i have to make a decision. do i go with my intel committee chair or do i go with my commerce committee chair? and these briefings over the next couple of weeks here that we're going to see in the senate are going to be really informative. i think. >> what do you think schumer lands? >> i think andrew is right. it's gonna be really nothing passed. the house cannot agree on what day of the week it is, not alone 361. you can't ignore that sort of broad, bipartisan agreement. maybe he will, but i find that highly unlikely. now, whether what form this will take, i think is kind of up in the air at this point, but this is something that's very hard to, very hard to ignore, particularly if you're a party

that has been so outfront when it comes to national security and national conservative concerns. >> andrew, what, what form does the lobbying effort from tiktok tape take? because if you kinda dig into who, especially on the commerce committee, like who is maria cantwell hearing from on this issue? senator cantwell issue hearing from tiktok. what are they saying and doing behind the scenes? >> well, the ceo of tiktok has made a number of trips to capitol hill in recent weeks, including last week, he was actually in washington anyway for a social event, they said and basically it'd be here. yeah, i basically had come up to the hill and meet with senators a number of senators actually refused to meet with him. i talked to senators who told me that they got requests from tiktok for meetings and they basically responded and said, look, i don't believe a word the guy says, i'm not going to meet with him and i thought that was really, really fascinated because they're basically not even willing to hear out tiktoks perspective on this and when it comes to senator cantwell, this is also really interesting, is that a

number of her former staffers, both in her personal office and on the commerce committee, either work for or lobby for tiktok right now. so i think that is also an important context here as we consider where her head is on this and the legislation she might or might not support? >> no >> jackie teeth, the tiktok effort, the one that they used inside their app where they tried to get kids basically to call did that backfire? >> i think it did. i think it's particularly with a lot of that with the house lawmakers that we're getting calls from kids, essentially, some of them. i'm really disturbing message. i mean, congressman aacn class was taught, told the globe about just some of the disturbing things that some of these folks were saying and flooding flooding cause of actually demonstrated the influence that tiktok does have on a lot of young people. and that is the exact concern that a lot of these lawmakers have with the app to begin with, right? they're basically saying this is a

>> national security concern because the app could influence exactly politics in the united states. it's like, and that's what they exhibit a tiktok numbers are on the fence actually said that those phone calls that they got to their office actually influence them to vote for the bill rather than against it. that's wild. >> yeah. jackie, why have you i >> want to ask you about the ohio senate race because you're from ohio, which most of our viewers problem, i'll go blue sorry >> but this is hurt me this earlier. >> this is i mean, this is kind of a a classic situation where they've tried to put trump on the ballot. the leading candidate, trump was out there campaigning for him in ohio. do you think he comes out on top with the trump trump trump message? he's got or how do you see the race shaken out tonight? >> i'm not going to make a guess in terms of that, however, i will say this is one of the last places you're actually seeing the establishment branches, the republican party mount a real challenge to the trump candidate. and democrats are trying to play in this, doing

the whole wall. remember the clare macaskill boosting todd ache and because she believed does that he was the week are cases where democrats tried to boost a candidate that's extreme to make it easier for them to win. and that's exactly what democrats are doing in ohio and trying to boost bernie moreno because they believe he is an easier candidate for sherrod brown, the incumbent democrat, to beat, whether that will work, we'll have to see tonight, but you can see the establishment branch of the republican party really rallying around. dolan on the other side too. because they believe the he could actually beat sherrod brown and pickup that all-important sentence seat which it that's a really big deal for republicans and for former president trump. if he's not able to get his candidate over the liner, he was there this weekend to try to nudge him and get his voters out for his candidate yeah, it's again like control. it's on a knife-edge control. the senate, any single one seats. you could really change it and sherrod brown is kinda one of the last, last democrats standing in this kind of type

of state right? >> all right. jackie kucinich entered a stereo. thank you, guys. i really appreciate it. >> are coming up next. primary voters, as we were discussing ending the poll to know hi, aware that ugly senate race could have major implications for maga, republicans lost the dunk of the year and the nba. >> you decide check your nothing >> a space shuttle accidents usually not one thing. it's a series of events is that part of the wing coming apart? >> space shuttle columbia. he final flight or mere sunday, april 7 at nine >> fashion moves, fast. >> setting trends is our business. >> we need to scale >> with customer >> demand in real time so we partner with verizon, their solution for us, a private by gene >> we now get more control of production efficiencies and greater agility when a custom private 5g network, our customers get what they want when they he wanted. >> now, or even smarter and are

repeatedly warning his supporters, he doesn't want that to happen again. >> we have to win in november. we have to win by big margins. we have to win a historic victory for the republican party, have to win elections santa national political reporter or reach on joins me now, good morning. it's good to see you. thanks. >> so he keeps saying we have to win elections, we have to win elections. obviously, one of the main things in 2022 that the democrats would say really influenced things i was abortion rights. that's not necessarily the center of primary campaign. that we're really watching today. let's start with ohio, the senate race, their sherrod brown is a democrat, trying to hold onto his seat in a state that has really turned red in recent years bernie moreno is the candidate that trump has been supporting there. how do you see that race playing out? what are we going to potentially learn about the electorate from this right? grace? >> i mean, one of the big things we're going to learn is how much influence does trump still have in 2022, we saw

president trump endorsed in a lot of these races. and his kin answer one, we saw a dr. or aza and then we saw him lose in november. so the question is going to be is bernie moreno has endorsed candidate going to make it to the general. and then if he does like, can he beat sherrod brown? we list as one of three very three toss-ups that will determine control of the senate. and so it's, it's crucial. and so if trump indoor back somebody who ends up losing, that's going to hurt him if he becomes the president and it's going to further show that maybe republicans were, maybe the lesson from 2022 was to not just vote for the candidate that trump-backed. >> yeah. >> what else are you watching? i mean, we have some house races as well in ohio, there's also racism what are you looking for trying to seize results come in. >> i made a lot of these races are because things are so polarized and matt does so polarized. there's only a handful of really competitive house races across the country.

this there's a race in ohio marcy kaptur is up for reelection. she one last time around the question is, which of the two candidates to republican candidates who have been endorsed by different members of the house of representatives are going to go on to challenge her november i think i'm looking at illinois. there are some competitive primaries, but those or both primaries where the whichever democrat makes it through the democratic primary, it's going to be elected whichever probably makes through november. but i'm really just looking to see broadly, like when it comes down to it like these, like the five house races that are going to make or break the house majority, like who's getting elected, or they are does each party feel like they're luck thing the strongest candidate and where it's going to go from there, right? >> let's talk about the abortion issue for a second, because it is one that i think based on polling based on expectations, certainly going into the midterm elections in 2022, there was this thought it was going to be a massive red

wave. and ultimately that didn't materialize. and that has led to the chaos you have seen in the house of representatives with republicans really struggling to make this tiny majority that they have functional obviously ousted kevin mccarthy, mike johnson has also, has also struggled they're obviously we talked so much about the top of the ticket biden versus trump, the rematch. but i do see the potential for abortion to be one of these critical issues that drives down-ballot races, almost perhaps more even than it drives the top of the ticket. how do you see that playing out this time? >> absolutely. i mean, like working to see a court case in june on the abortion drug and on what i've heard from democrats is that last time around the idea of abortion was very i mean, if you're at a blue state like california, there's a handful of competitive primaries, is there? it's hard. it was 2022 is hard to say, hey, this republican is going to take

away your right to abortion in california and new york. but this time around, they can say mike garcia voted for xyz, bill that could have led to a national abortion ban. if trump is president and republicans take control of the house and the senate, democrats are going, there could be national implications to these abortion policy. i think so. i think we're really going to see democrats hitting this idea that no matter where a republican is in the country, if you elect a republican, you risk limiting abortion access nationwide. >> and in fact, we heard just in the last day or so from a state senator in arizona, they have a presidential primary today. some of their congressional primaries or later on in the year, but takes hello, shoot. she told her personal story >> i wish i could tell you otherwise. but after numerous ultrasounds and blood draws, we have determined that my pregnancy is once again not progressing and is not viable once again, i have scheduled an appointment to terminate my pregnancy. i'm choosing to

talk about why i made this decision. because i want us to be able to have meaningful conversations about the reality of how the work that we do in this body impacts people in the real-world and this is, we haven't started to see the most emotional of these cert certain to be emotional ads coming out for the 2024 cycle. we saw it in kentucky with that woman who looks straight to camera and told her just absolutely devastating personal story. obviously, this arizona state senator decided to stand up and tell hur's how does this this kind of the emotion around this effect politics in this way >> i think that it's a very, i mean, it is a very personal issue for so many people. and i think that one thing democrats have really emphasized is abortion is not something that just happens because somebody just wasn't being responsible. this is something this is a health care issue where our people, i mean, we've seen in texas people need emergency abortions people. it's not as decision, decision that people take lightly. and i think that

democrats are going to be running more ads telling more personal stories that sort of emphasize that asked it's backed of it. and i think as we saw in ohio last year, republicans have tried to argue that democrats want abortion up until the moment of birth. that these health issues, these emergency situations aren't real, but we saw even in very red ohio abortion was an issue that voters across the aisle where republicans, democrats, independents were willing to say, no, we want to protect abortion access, right? >> when it's when it's been directly on the ballot, voters have answered in a pretty, pretty overwhelming way, especially in are divided, considering how divided our politics are. it's been overwhelming margins or reach on for us, or we thank you very much. i really appreciate it. >> then there's this fitness guru, richard simmons frightening his fans with this alarming social media post. it reads in part, please don't be sad. >> i am dying oh i can see your faces now. the truth is, we are all dying every day we live, we are getting closer to our

death. i mean, in fact, check true. but yeah the 75-year-old simmons later apologized. he said he's fine. he explained his comment was meant to be a message about embracing life simmons rose to fame in the '80s with videos like this one simon says, disappeared basically from public life. he did in 2014, his spokesman though says, he is healthy and happy, glad to hear that, wish him the best >> all right. time now for sports, what might be the dunk of the year in the nba? a coil wire has this morning's bleacher report coined. good morning. >> what's up cases you're going to put me on after richard simmons, how am i supposed to follow that path? >> not >> understand this edwards flew through the air like a mythical greek god. he reached up and
