news for you now on our law and justice lead a new york judge has just issued a ruling in one of >> the appeals of donald trump's lawyers are arguing in an effort to delay the hush money case involving porn and former porn star and director stormy daniels. let's get right to cnn, chief legal affairs correspondent, paul or read paula, they filed a couple motions here. what did the judge rule on? >> well, we're just a week out from this hush-money case getting underway in manhattan. and today, the trump team filed a petition to stay or pause this case. well, they argue why they believe that the venue of this trial should be changed. now, the trump lawyers argue that pretrial publicity lesson he has resulted in a situation where trump cannot get a fair trial. they said they did some survey where over 60% of respondents think trump is guilty, but prosecutors punch back saying, look, not all pretrial publicity is prejudicial. they also said it's too late to file a petition like this. the judge has denied this requests. but as you noted, jake, this is
2:17 pm
just the latest in a series of attempts to try to get this case delayed. >> paula reid. thanks so much. that's bringing a senior legal analyst, elie honig le what's your reaction to this ruling? >> well, jake, as expected, i think it was 20 minutes ago or so i said to you that i think it's unlikely donald trump's succeeds on this menu motion. now he has not succeeded for the time being and for a couple of reasons. first of all, as paula said, this motion has already been made. it's too late to bring it up to an appeals court now. and second of all, just looking at the propriety here of charging this case in manhattan, this is where the crime occurred. the alleged falsification of business records prosecutors do sometimes play games and try to charge some a case in a district where a small part of the conduct happened to get a more favorable jury pool. that's not what's happening here. this case almost had to be charged in manhattan. and finally as judges often recognize, if there are jurors are potential jurors who are very biased against the defendant. that's what jury selections for. it's a whole weeding out process. and so
2:18 pm
it's no surprise that this judge has one judge on the court of appeals has denied the motion for now. >> are you surprised by how quickly the judge ruled? >> well, this was an emergency procedure. i mean, the argument started at 3:45, so i'll say yes, this is what are we an hour and change after that? this was quick, but i think it shows recognition by judges in new york state that this thing is meant to star april 15, and they seem to have very little patience for trump's hail mary's here. >> all right. elie honig thing thanks so much. congress is back to work. the men and women and men americans elected and pay to get stuff done. so we'll members be able to find any common ground as they tackle a very long agenda in an election year, stay with us every day, more people are deciding it's time for a fresh approach to pet >> food developed with made from real meat and veggies portioned for your dog and delivered right to your door. it's smarter, healthier, pet food. >> yeah introducing ned's

2:28 pm
was more like body parts that was also the corpse of a small child, a single person who you talk to there has a horrific, nightmare story. there's quite simply not an humanitarian assistance and people are absolutely terrified having lived with these drones and bombs and tragedies for six months now, terrified of what's going to happen if there's impending rafah invasion does take place. they they, they don't know what to do and you really get the sense that you're moving among ghosts. people are ghosts of themselves. there are ghosts of the people that were in there constantly haunted by the ghost of everything that they've lost jake. >> yeah. >> i want to play a quick part of the video that you posted from gaza. let's take a look >> like sounds what are the best tools to support the long-term mental health needs of the >> kids in gaza for when this

horrible war is over look at that clip is from one of the small sort of mental health programs that we have for children. we're working inside 13 shelters on right now. it's really emergency mental health with basically means creating some sort of a distraction for children and adults. and what we're trying to do is raise the funds to be able to ensure that we are ready for what we call the day after the day hey, when there is a ceasefire, the day when we can go in and begin implementing these longer-term medical and mental health programs that we have. we have to recognize that the trauma, especially when it comes to children and adults, can barely cope with this, right? like a child just can't even begin to process these traumas are coming from multiple different directions and they are constant. they our daily because there is no rest fight in this area and it's not just the constant fear of the bombs and the drones and all of it. it's also coupled with hunger, very extreme and very real hunger. and then you have to imagine the trauma that it creates word child to turn to their parent and say, i'm
2:30 pm

for free because it otter.ai, ai or down hello, the app >> and our politics lead after a two spring break, congress is getting back to work. the busy agenda is a contentious one for house speaker mike johnson.
2:36 pm
johnson is trying to shepherd a narrow republican majority and fickle members already known for pushing leadership out. let's bring back our panel alice, let me start with you. i asked the chairman of the house intelligence committee, mike turner republican of ohio how worried should speaker johnson be about his job given the fact that marjorie taylor greene is talking about a motion to vacate hey, just for letting there be a vote on aid to ukraine. here is what congressman turner had to say >> i don't think he's at any risk. i think that what would people have been referring to as the chaos caucus, those individuals who are seeking attention for themselves and trying to stop all of the important work in congress are now seen as merely disruptive >> so he's dismissing this effort by marjorie taylor greene, but she's still taunting the speaker on friday, she wrote on twitter, quote democrats are already saying they are ready to save mike johnson because he's doing such a great job for their agenda. we need a new speaker of the house, unquote. of course, that's not with democrats are saying at all. that is a lie, but alice
2:37 pm
stewart, what do you think is his job in jeopardy? >> know it's not a great interview with congressman turner and rational republicans like him and ones that i speak with say marjorie taylor greene is on an island. she is one >> sur she's got a few of her far right rabble-rousing is that will go along with her, but the majorif reasonable repuicans have more important things to do and lk, speaker johnson's in a difficult spot. wantso get things done. he wants to legislate, but he's dealing with the far-right, right flank. and here he i trying to get things done and marjie taylor greene is trying to just get in the way every ti she goes outhere and pues back on him are called him a democrat or saying he's soft, are saying that he is blackmailed she does that to fund raise and to get attention. and that's continuously what she's doing. but fortunately, there are a lot of republicans out there that say, i agree with johnson and sometimes we might have to work across the aisle to get things done and that's what they need to focus on because right now, the enemy is not speaker johnson, the enemy is
2:38 pm
joe biden and liberal policies, that's what they need to put the focus on. so congresswoman marjorie taylor greene's holding a town hall inter-district in georgia tonight. she said she's going to lay out every everything th' happening in dc on twitter. she writes, quote, my districts voice represents most americans. they are the heartbeat of america. what's your take on all this >> i mean, i just disagree. it might be the heartbeat of donald trump's party and what they want to do and they're just creating chaos amongst amongst their caucus. and as democrats, you can just sit back and watch them unravel. but to remove speaker johnson from the speakership was just going to create more chaos again, and things just aren't going to get done and i just i don't think that's where the american people are. so we want, they want action. >> yeah. and on the shortlist for speaker johnson, whether or not to provide funding to ukraine or at least even just allow a vote on it. you know, you could. that's not the same thing as early as supporting it, just allowing congress to vote on it, how to reauthorize fisa, the foreign intelligence surveillance act. there's a big fight between jim jordan and
2:39 pm
congressman turner on that. also write for debate the role congress and funding to rebuild the key bridge in baltimore it's a lot, it is. >> and look on each of those issues. there is the valid concern amongst many of the fiscal conservatives that say, look, if we're going to spend money here, let's look at offset somewhere else. let's look at where we can make reasonable cuts. and i think that is a valid argument for them to be making, but for them to be just so hell-bent on no, on everything is not productive. i think they need to look at each of these issues and individually and make the case for that. and many of them want to see more transparency with ukraine. but i think speaker johnson and others recognize what we're giving for ukraine. it's not charity, it's an investment in democracy. and if russia succeeds in ukraine than what's next. so they go into poland and other other countries and potentially america. so i think it's important to look at this from the standpoint. what is the best investment in democracy and not just make everything about, if you don't go our way, it's going to be no way. >> of course one of the other
2:40 pm
things turner said to me, what does he agreed with his fellow republican chairman mike mccall, who said that he hears russian propaganda on conservative primetime shows. and i asked him about that. mccaul quote. and turner said, i hear it from republicans on the house floor. >> yeah, i mean, i think it's a real issue, right. like i think to your point that if they are not funding ukraine, that is a huge step and not funding democracy. and i think that we need to move forward, that i don't think people realize again vladimir putin's number one ally would be donald trump. i think that that's a huge focus that people need to realize at marjorie taylor greene, it has an audience of one here with the former president. so i think that that's back to your original question. i think that that's one of the most important issues that we're going to have to look at. >> and then on wednesday, the house is expected to set the articles impeachment against homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas to the senate. they already passed to the senate where democrats are expected to vote to dismiss the case quickly. democrats, of course, have the majority there did that entire ordeal. do anything for house other than chase out republican
2:41 pm
congressman mike gallagher, who was one of the bright lights of the republican party. yeah, look, it's certainly brought to light the issue of borders security and you think it did? the point is, i think it did bring to light look, there's problems at the border was a massive influx. but look policy disagreements are not grounds for impeachment. and i think it was important to raise the issue. it's a valid issue, even democratic governors and mayors are saying, we need to secure the border. that's a valid argument, but to make this about an impeachment i think waters down the real issue is that biden's border policies have led to an influx at the at the border and that is a real issue that republicans could be running on. and instead of impeachment, thanks to both you appreciate it coming up next more on that ominous warning about russian propaganda and republicans on capitol hill, we're going to get reaction from a former secretary of defense erin burnett outfront tonight at

worldly. the top republicans on both the foreign affairs committee and the intelligence committee >> say that some of their republican colleagues have been infected with russian propaganda, listened to what house intelligence committee chairman mike turner told me just yesterday >> we see directly coming from russia, attempts to mask communications that are anti ukraine and pro russia messages, some of which we even here being uttered on the house floor. i mean, there are members of congress to day who still incorrectly say that this conflict between russia and ukraine is over nato, which of course it is not joining us now the former secretary of defense under president donald trump, mark esper, he serves on the board or as introduce strategic advisor for a handful of aerospace and defense related companies so you're republican, you're a reagan republican, right? absolutely. and you went to west points. you're from the 80s, the whole thing what's your take when you hear like-minded
2:47 pm
republicans, conservatives saying some of our republican colleagues are repeating russian propaganda on the floor of the house. yeah, look, it's troubling. it's very troubling and others are both very serious lawmakers. i know them both, and it's true. i mean, we've seen the intelligence reporting over the years that russia is trying to influence the social discussion that america, they're trying to influence our policy and arguably they are influencing the policy when it comes to ukraine, funding. and of course, moscow's not the only ones we got beijing doing the same thing. so it's a big issue. i think social media and these types of operations or the achilles heel of our democracy ukrainian president zelenskyy also said this week, ukraine's going to lose the war without that aid that has been denied them and then you have far-right republicans like marjorie taylor greene of georgia saying that if speaker johnson even puts a bill on the floor that provides that aid along with aid to israel and taiwan that she will make a
2:48 pm
motion to vacate and that she has other republicans who support her. how worried are you that this kind of sentiment in the gop is ultimately going to cause potent to win. >> now look, i am concerned because the numbers have been growing, certainly in the house and arguably in the senate as well. now, look, i don't think she she can do that right now, but we do know zelenskyy is trading terrain for time right now. he's trying to hold off until hopefully the congress votes here. maybe this week, maybe next week on a spending package that would get him the arms and ammunition because of the united states does not do it if it's not done this year, then i fear that he will run out of time. he could be forced to the negotiating table with moscow in a much stronger position. any faces the fact that if trump gets elected in november when trump comes into

2:56 pm
light around the rim? >> so that was something that we saw here in fredericksburg, texas and planetary science society's eclipse or rama that i had never seen so least not this clearly. so there were clouds, lot of clouds and there was anxiety that we would be weathered out as the saying goes. but it clear just enough to see the moon completely covering the sun. >> and then because >> it was completely covered and because we had the filter of clouds, we can see he this prominence as it's called this glass, this solar flare style jolt of meg have a huge magnetic field and charged particles off the sun that be very difficult to observe. even with some filter on because the sun was so bright but with the cloud cover, it was just extraordinary pink salmon color
2:57 pm
around, especially. but from our point of view, the lower right edge of the moos was fantastic. here in dc. like i said, the sun was somewhere between 80, 90% covered. it looked like it was we were about a minute away from totality, although we never got their landscape, got kinda dam. but it is surprising how just 10% of the sun, it's still too bright to look at directly in that way, even with 90% covered. >> why is that? >> yes >> the sun's bright. object thanks, bill yeah >> a stone is a very bright object and our eyes are just not up. now, we've all, i claim, we ball who's able-bodied glanced at the sun. i played the outfield so a fly ball, you'll be look up at the sun for a moment. but when you really want to observe the eclipse, you just human nature being what it is. you just want to stare at and so that's
2:58 pm
where there's danger. but here in texas, we all had our official size and weight, solar eclipse glasses nice and it was a great time was had by all the moon goes around the earth every month. so why our solar eclipse is so rare? >> so rare is a relative term first of all, the main reason, but i think you're driving at the earth orbits the sun in what we call the plane the solar system, the plane of the ecliptic that's all the traditional planets are in about the same table, top in space, but the moon is a little tilted relative to the earth's equator, rotated relative to the earth's tabletop motion around the sun and so it has to line up with the moon, the sun, and earth, where you are, so that you'd get this total eclipse. now the word rare there are total eclipses every
2:59 pm
year-and-a-half or so, but they're usually in the middle of the ocean and sure enough, there are hardcore eclipse chasing people that get on ships and go out there every couple of years and make sure they see a total eclipse and it's worthy spectacular thing. but what was wonderful about the eclipse today was just right across mexico, us, and canada in a great big diagonals. it was really marvelous because 40 million, 50 million people got to experience it. >> yeah, it was very cool. >> there won't be a total >> eclipse over the united states for years and 2044, it will be he visible potentially in montana and the dakotas won't be until 2045 till the coast-to-coast possibility >> where on >> earth will the next total eclipse be though? and when spain is the one, everybody here is talking about now, this is on land in 2026. that's what people here today. i'm going
3:00 pm
i'm i'm booking a ticket right now. because it is a spectacular thing. i know people have told you this jake, and it's all good. but 90%, one thing totality is another thing. when it goes completely dark, it is a different thing and i saw a couple of things today which i'd never experienced before, a way off in this the east, you can see sunlight at first and then it went dark. and then the other thing that happened, like there's a breeze, right now here in texas. but during the during totality, the briefs there were some effect with cold and warm air that the breeze was held up, was cool, it was spectacular. all right. well, science, you may, spain 2026, a case of that fredericksburg, texas wine it's a date >> all right. >> i'll see you there. >> thanks so much. if you ever mis or coverage continues now, onepiso you can listen to the show once you get your podcasts or
