3636. that's 180501, 3636. call now, i've been touring the world with my music. now, i want to focus on what's happening to our planet blue carbon, a cnn films sunday, april 21 at nine

preparing will hold a news conference shortly. he will likely be asked about the bombshell decision on abortion out of it arizona will bring that to you as it happens. also, breaking this hour, the former financial chief at the trump organization who admitted to lying to prosecutors he is getting jail time will go out alive to that as well. plus, we are live in mississippi courtroom, were six former law enforcement officers, members of a self-described goon squad will soon be sent since for brutally torturing to menn and severe weather to tell you about flaring up across the deep south, we have those pictures will go live to that in just a few moments as well. so stay with us for that. but first, the president and first lady are hosting an official arrival ceremony for japan's prime minister and his wife. it comes ahead of the two liters bilateral meeting and joint

press conference being held in the coming hours over at the white house. you can see the secretary of state, secretary of defense the vice president kamala harris. all standing by as the prime minister will showing up on the south lawn of the white house at any moment at that news conference that i've mentioned this afternoon? president biden will almost certainly be asked about arizona's controversial supreme court decision on abortion. he's already called the abortion ruling cruel and dangerous. cnn, white house correspondent priscilla alvarez joins us down. priscilla. >> i mean, women across america this morning are waking up to reproductive rights being taken away in state after state, it seems. and this morning it's arizona. it's another flashpoint in this cultural war. we've been seeing happening all across the country. >> and it's more fuel for the white house and for president biden to tie these unpopular abortion bans that are happening across the country directly to former president donald i'll try to back in the moments after we received this

ruling yesterday, the white house relates to statement i'm gonna read you some of that this from president biden, millions of arizonans will soon live under an even more extreme and dangerous abortion ban, which fails to protect women even when their health is at risk or in tragic cases of rape or incest, it goes on to say, quote this ruling is a result of the extreme agenda of republican elected officials who are committed to ripping away women's freedoms. now, of course, the biden campaign has been seizing on this issue, seeing it as one that will galvanize voters, particularly in the very critical swing state of arizona. and when i spoke to a democratic strategist this morning, they said, look, this is another data point in what has already been the argument for democrats in this election and framing it and continuing to frame it as, as going after freedoms, personal freedoms, and health care, and the vice president also weighing in on this. she of course, has been on her reproductive freedoms tour kicking that off in january. and she said that we're essentially going back to a time when women couldn't vote. that is what this abortion ban

stems from. and then also going on to tie it to former president donald trump. and she's going to take that message to arizona on friday. >> all right. for alvarez. thank you very much on this fast moving morning, let's discuss with former assistant special assistant president biden megan hazen, cnn political commentator and republican strategists for singleton megan, i mean, we've seen the president put out a statement on abortion. priscilla just referred to it a few moments ago. it's likely maybe it won't happen, maybe it will happen, but he probably will be asked about abortion in arizona. and i'm just wondering what's on your mind when you see what's happening in this country right now, women across america, it seems like almost every week and other state, there's another very hard line law taking place. it chipping away at reproductive freedom in this country. >> yeah, i think this is a really big issue and important issue for democrats. i think that they need to be able to capitalize this in november. it's a huge fundraising issue for them as well. it's also a good voter turnout issue. i mean, like that's it's one of the things that we've talked about a lot is what's going to turn out voters. and this is an

issue that's going to get women and men and mostly moderates to the ballot to vote in november. and i think that the president will capitalize on that. it's an issue we've spoken a lot about the vice president is very passionate about this, but also it's just again, like priscilla said, it's drawing the contrast between former president trump can the president biden, on taking away freedoms and healthcare for women >> and chemali do want to have you weigh in on this in just a moment. but first i'd you're seeing some pictures out of phoenix, obviously, where this abortion issue has been flaring up, but i also want to show you some live pictures right now of the president with the japanese prime minister. he is right now welcoming the japanese prime minister here to the white house they will be within the next few hours holding meetings. mega you're used to all of this will be having some bilateral meetings behind closed doors, but then we will see the two liters out in front of the cameras taking questions. of course, there'll be asked about a range of issues like china maybe the war in ukraine but you're michael, this issue of abortion, once

again flaring up this time in arizona? yeah. >> i mean, this is going back to a law from the civil war, 64 before it was even a state, your republican strategists, do you really want state's going back to civil war era law? on reproductive freedom. i mean, women didn't even have the right to vote at that point. you have other sounds like kryptonite. this sounds toxic for republicans across the country. any gym i don't want state's going back to pre civil war for obvious reasons, right >> but, >> but i will say this. remember 10,450 seven votes, megan, that's how many votes president biden won the state of arizona. there is not a path for donald trump to the white house without winning the state of arizona. now president biden struggled a little bit on the economy, struggled a little bit on the issue of immigration this was a gift an early gift to the president. this is an issue or democrats will fund raise on their target. republicans and tight districts. they will target republicans down-ballot. and my

question to a lot of my republican friends, jim, what are we doing here? and i have a lot of respect to my evangelical friends. i spent a lot of time working and talking with them when i worked for dr.. carson in 2016, i'm all about convictions. but convictions would no power or a pipe dream. you have to have pay. >> if you can't win anything, there's nothing mega, but are their convictions, i mean, the what conduction current senate republican, who's running in arizona literally flip-flopped and said this is not what we wanted well, we can't boring. >> yeah, you're talking about kari lake. i need her condemnation of this was a far cry from her stance on it less than two years ago. i don't know if we have the sound on this, but let's listen to that. >> it's good point we have a great law on the books right now. it will prohibit abortion in arizona, except to save the life of a mother. and i think we're going to be setting the paving the way and setting course for other states to follow i mean, at least you're not going back and forth on the

2020 election, but i you know, this right, director. yeah. i mean, this is this is going to be tough. >> i mean, jim, we're not winning on on this issue kansas, wisconsin supreme court, ohio, and even the idea of 15 weeks, lindsey graham came on. so we should do 50 two weeks. my governance, state of virginia, youngkin ran on. well, let's do 15 weeks. not only did democrats keep their majority in that state house, they also won the state senate, who are not winning because women are clearly sand and even some men, even some republicans and we don't believe the government should use compulsory force to dictate what people should do but their bodies. and i understand that the genie's out of the bottle. i mean, it is it megan, vice president is going to arizona on friday here about the decision >> understand. to stop bands like this. we need a united states congress that will restore the protections of roe v wade. and when they do, president joe biden will sign

it into law. and let's always remember it does not have to be this way and megan, if this ruling is upheld, 15 states, i know we can show this onscreen with 15 states will have a near total >> abortion ban. and i mean, it's for all the talk about democracy being on the ballot in the fall, it sounds like dobbs is very much on the minds of voters, is going to be on ballot in a range of states, battleground states as well. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, but i think this just goes to show this is drying the contrast between former president trump and president biden of what where your freedoms lie. and this is again and again going to be a major issue people, i mean, in arizona, they're working to get about initiative on which is going and to drive voter turnout, which is going to be huge for the, for president biden and vice present harris to win in november, isn't sure michael suicide, but she might go i mean, at the same time though, it's donald trump. i mean, by his own admission he has said he is the one who took down roe versus wade. so as

much as you can say to the party, hey guys, we got to get a knock at all. >> i was listening to me they're not listed on the president and former president. >> i get it. he's trying to appeal to evangelicals and then he came out with a statement and said it should be a state issue. i would have wanted him or i would have advised go a step further, megan, i would've said it's a state issue that voters in the state should decide because that way we know based on history so far voters have decided to keep it that i think would have given him an out. it also would have taken away the question if you assign a national ban, which a lot of people still have lingering out there we're not winning on this. and if i could tell republicans guys, we got to step away from this. there's a lot at stake beyond just the presidency you're talking about the house, you're talking about how many seats potentially could be one at the senate. again, all of those down-ballot seats are now at jeopardy because we have allowed evangelicals to own this issue when most american saying we don't like what you guys are given, and we want to remind our viewers, we are showing you some live pictures periodically throughout this hour. the president, the prime

minister of japan, they're going to be holding a joint news conference just a short while from now, you can see the pomp and circumstance of the official visit. they're calling this an official visit of the japanese prime minister, not a state visit because technically the state of japan is run by an emperor, i guess, ceremonially. but they're calling this an official visit, but in a couple of hours are now the president also hold a news conference. we do think the president may make some remarks here in just a few moments. typically that's the case, right, megan, he will welcome the prime minister to the united states and make some comments about the strong relationship between the united states and japan i will dip into that when that takes place, but megan mean one of the things that obviously is on the minds of people inside the white house. is just how the president is going to thread the needle. politically speaking, heading into this november cycle and is there

much of a debate right now as to what should be the lead i mean, politico has this audio apparently ron claim, the former chief of staff, your former boss, saying that the president is out there talking about bridges too much but it sounds as it sounds as the bridges are out the window at this point. i mean, it sounds as though the white house has found its issue. >> yeah, i think so, absolutely. but i do think it's important to remind folks of the infrastructure bill and some other things. i think that does affect just not only democrats about republicans places and we've had a lot of, we just had a bridge fall, a couple of weeks ago and maryland's i do think it is important. i wouldn't probably >> but it might not have said it the same way as >> ron maybe, but ronnie ronnie get des, the president says all he means, it means i said so and he said by it when asked about it, when politico contacted him. so but i do think that abortion is the issue that the democrats are going to need to lean hard into right now, i think it's number one issue. >> i would say abortion president biden announced yesterday in an interview that he's looking to take some type of action on immigration. so he's trying to regain control

there that's important then also think on the issue of the economy, i think, and sort of send everything's great. the president's would say things are getting better. those three things the president appears to have an advantage thanks to republicans, thanks to people like marjorie taylor greene. i just don't get it. jim >> thanks. megan. sure. michael, we appreciate it. sure. michael said it, not us >> our guys let's discuss more we're now with democratic congressman robert garcia of california's a member of the congressional progressive caucus congressman. thanks so much for being here. i know you're california and abortion rights, reproductive rights. i mean, they're pretty safe there in california unless of course the president loses in the fall, donald trump becomes president and you have a republican congress, then i suppose things are different. but what is your reaction to this ruling and arizona and what do you hope the president says? if he's asked about at this news conference coming up soon i'm going to first of all, it's obviously a horrific horrific de, in week four, everyone in arizona and we're going to be impacted in california as well, obviously,

as we >> will face women and folks that really need this service, these abortion. we know is health care. we know that donald trump is directly responsible through his actions, through what he's done through the court, through his comments, through his pushing the republican conference here in conference here in congress for what's happening across the country, not just an arizona, but just the denying of access, reproductive health care, the moving back just generations and in these rights. and so we have a real choice here. joe biden is the person's going to help restore national abortion rights, vice president harris is going to arizona here as we, as we know and the president will continue to be clear and loud that this is a choice between women and their doctors that we need to stop donald trump from continuing this march of moving our rights backwards yeah, congressman you did bring up an interesting point and i guess i hadn't thought about it, but i suppose there might be spillover effects for some of

these states bordering. and we were showing this to our viewers earlier, these states down south and heading out west we're abortion is being banned and all sorts of places i suppose in many of those cases, you have women who are going to be going to neighboring states are states. there's somewhat far away, like california to get that health care and that might put a tax on the health care system in places like california well, absolutely. i mean, >> this we knew this already to be true. we've seen what's happened in the effects in the south, for example. and as abortion rights have been restricted in certain states, folks are actually going to other states the impact is real. it's happening right now as we know, and places like florida. and so we know for a fact that was happening right now in arizona is going to impact california, is going to impact our own health care system. and we're of course rader to stand for anyone that needs access to abortion rights in our state. but the bigger issue here is this is happening state after state after state. and regardless of the courageous actions taken by the

attorney general and in arizona, who have courses is a democrat >> this is a very serious issue and it's going to be the defining issue going into november. we're going to remind the public every single day that donald trump and the republican party, when a rollback abortion rights and do you believe foreign president trump when he says, oh, he just wants to leave it to the states >> i mean, how can you believe anything doctrine says what? first, let's be really clear. >> he's said time and time again that he's received constable for what happened at the court is released to roe v. wade. he has said multiple times what his thoughts are about abortion. he's he's said essentially that the doctors possibly could be prosecuted before in forums that women shouldn't be getting abortions. and so he, first of all, has multiple positions. if we know on this on this issue but what we do know or what his actions are, which is a pointing extreme extremist to the court. it's ensuring and supporting the republican caucus here in congress on their actions. and so his

record is clear. he wants a rollback abortion rights. he wants to continue this march to remove rights away from women. and we're going to continue to fight him and the congress here and the majority here in congress. and just finally, very quickly congress, but i did want to ask you about israel and hamas, the defense secretary lloyd austin was up on capitol hill yesterday. he was asked about whether israel is committing genocide in gaza. let's listen to that we don't have any evidence of genocide created. >> that's a no, israel is not committing genocide in gaza. >> we don't have evidence of >> congressman. what's your what's your taken all of that >> i mean, look, i >> think i have been calling for a ceasefire in the israel-gaza war back since november. i think that is we are beyond time now. we need have a resolution to the floor the hostages need to be released. i support the efforts for an immediate ceasefire we need to get humanitarian aid into gaza immediately. and i

think that right now we're focused on he's ensuring that the ceasefire it is currently being negotiated happens, that the loss of life, of civilian life is horrific. the netanyahu government has failed in their efforts and trying to actually resolve this conflict. and so i think the president needs to continue to put as much pressure as possible to end the war immediately >> would you like to see and put more pressure? >> absolutely. i mean, i think those of us here in congress, particularly the progressive caucus, are continuing to address the president we just sent him a letter, actually just a couple of days ago outlining what we see as how we resolve this conflict. i think the pressure needs to continue >> our congressmen garcia. thank you very much for your time. we appreciate it. we're following severe weather moving across the south where the threat of tornadoes, of water rescues are underway. you can see some the video right there please be very careful in these kinds of flash floods. you have to be careful. don't try to cross any roads. if you're situations, conditions like this morning, all of this next

here you can see this brick building that entire wall taken out. we also know trees down some power lines down, some significant roof damage to some of these areas and obviously some barnes and sheds taking on some damage as well, but that's just one component. the other has been the flooding. again, this video, this is actually shot from the inside of a fire truck and you know, those are very high-profile vehicles. you can see the flooding that they are going through in the water actually still coming into the vehicle that firetruck took that video near the town of kirby ville, texas, that this is an area that's under that flash flood emergency until at least 11, a.m. central time. and it's been because of the amount of water that has really come through this area just in the last few hours, the pinout creek, which isn't kirby ville rose ten feet and just six hours bringing that creek up to major flood stage and it's not the only spot again, you can see here on this map, you've got a lot of these areas here. look at that pink color that indicates at least ten inches of rain has fallen in just the last 48 hours. so that ground is saturated. now we're adding more rain on top of it. so the flood threat is going to be

ongoing. >> we've >> also had several severe thunderstorm warnings right now. we've had tornado warnings off and on throughout much of the morning today. that's going to continue and that's why they have this tornado watch here valid until 1:00 p.m. central time today that's proportions of eastern louisiana as well as a good chunk of >> imaging wins and also some large hail. for all of these areas you see here shaded, even the green areas still has the potential. but obviously the big focus is going to be much closer towards the gulf coast. we talked about that threat for the very significant tornadoes that again is also going to be really focused around the gulf coast region timing wise. you've got a lot of these areas that are going to be dealing with it just a different time. so say around lunchtime, the peak really hits for places like jackson, mississippi in new orleans by the time we get to the evening,

commute tonight, the focus really is around alabama, so huntsville, birmingham, montgomery, and then by tonight, it begins to move into atlanta and eventually into charlotte, north carolina hi, the morning. >> all right. very dangerous stuff. please keep us posted, alice. and if anything changes, we'll go back to you. thank you so much. in the meantime, some breaking news to tell you about the state sentencing for six former mississippi law enforcement officers happening right now here you see why pictures from the courtroom in jackson, mississippi, the office there's coming in one by one to be sentenced after they attacked in their community, one of whom were shot in the mouth. this group of officers called themselves the coat. >> a >> quote, goon squad and the case has garnered national attention. four frankly are teams have been covering this for months now from the overt racism and inhumane acts committed in this 2023 incidents, cnn chief law

enforcement and intelligence analysts, john miller joins us now and cnns legal alice showy jackson both join me now, gentlemen. thank you so much. john, this is just one of the most horrendous police brutality cases. i've ever heard of. i know you've covered and dealt with these sorts of things so many times over the years your reaction to what we're seeing in court this morning and the importance of this case well, the importance of this case is just surrounds the unspeakable nature of the >> acts of these police officers that were premeditated. they planned much of this before they arrived on the scene. you're talking about brutality, torture during people with tasers. you're talking about a sexual assault against one of the victims and then if all of that isn't shocking enough a team of police officers, one of whom put a gun in one of the victim's mouth and fired it we

heard him today saying they killed me that day. i just didn't die. i'm a musician and a singer. but they shot me and i'm unable to carry that on. >> it. >> actually be lies, belief that people who took an oath would do something like this. and what we're seeing now, the sentence this is 15 years, 20 years. these are concurrent with the federal sentences. they already received in some measure, this is symbolic, but it's an important symbolism. it shows that the state of mississippi is engaging in justice even after the federal government has absolutely >> and joey jackson, i mean, if you could weigh in on this or we're expecting to hear some victim impact statements i mean, judging by what john was saying a few moments ago, these should be some very i guess, emotionally rot statements. i mean, this is just the worst of the worst when it comes so police brutality i mean,

what's your reaction? all of this >> yeah. without question. jim, this is what accountability looks like and it looks that way with respect to federal sentencing, as well as state sentencing. remember, there's a role for the federal government, that role was played each of these six receiving different sentences consistent with the activities they engage. then in the misconduct and eat legality really, that they were involved in. these are officers who are sworn to protect. instead, they are terrorizing these two african-american men and by all accounts with respect to prior bad acts terrorizing and entire community and so the federal government, certainly that has a place, charge them deprivation of rights and conspiracy, et cetera and they were sentenced on that already to what john miller we're saying. this is now a state court proceeding. the state, of course, also has a place as it relates to ensuring accountability. and that's what we're seeing in addition to the thing john miller has

mentioned, let's not forget the name calling the urinating in the closet of the home that they invaded at the time to show further degradation and to think that something like this can happen in 2024 is remarkable. it's shocking thick and so now the state court, a judge, will issue these sentences to be served concurrently but certainly it's appropriate that the judge do so and it's appropriate that they be found to account for what it is that they did, which was horrific yeah. >> and i should note are ryan young who is in the courtroom right now, has just done some amazing reporting on all of this chronicling this just horrendous case. and john to joe's point what does this say about police brutality in this country? i mean, it it is a bit hard to put your head around that this is still going on in this country. i mean, i guess it is gratifying to some extent. i mean, these are police officers in these these

these out, these jail outfits that they got him in right there. you're seeing on screen right now. so i suppose there is accountability, but it does raise the question as to how much of this is still going on in america right now? while police brutality can be a complicated subject because you have uses of force that are engaged in many different circumstances where something has already kicked off their some disorder or violence going on where police intervene this is not that this for people who are just familiarizing themselves with the story starts with a phone call from a neighbor saying there's an old lady who lives on a piece of property, a ranch house down the street there's a bunch of black guys who have moved into the house. we think something's going on. these sheriff's deputies from the sheriff's office, joined by one police officer from the local department. i'm dr. a

long distance away to get to this house to this piece of property. and they plan to avoid the security cameras at the house to kick in the door to basically do a warrantless home invasion and beat and torture and terrorize these to menn, one of whom was the caregiver for the woman in the house who was in the hospital at the time and try to get them to admit to doing things that they weren't doing to possession of drugs, to other things and this went on for hours, including after shooting one of them in the mouth and leaving him there to bleed while they went out back. and concocted a story that would work. it was investigated by the state attorney general because of the shooting. but this was only uncovered when these two men bravely came forward with a story that was so insane that it would be hard for anyone to believe and told this story. and then federal

and state authorities did their investigation and proved it. but it is at any levels still shocking >> yeah >> just for our viewers home. so they're grasping what we're seeing here. these are police officers, i guess former police officers soon to be convex. one by one being led into the courtroom to listen to their sentencing. and joey jackson, i mean, what does this say about the state of law enforcement in this country? you and i have had this conversation so many times. over the course of the last several years about episodes of police brutality in this country >> and >> to me it staggering to listen to the details of this case. the police officers were the ones who were acting like the criminals here. >> yeah without question, it's shows and demonstrates, jim, that there's work to be done, not to be clear and to be fair, there's a lot of law enforcement out there risking their lives for the safety of all of us and our families and for that they deserve our

respect and gratitude. >> but for those who have >> lost their way like bees individuals, it's just really incomprehensible. and then in terms of the cover story, you're planting a gun on them. you're concocting information >> that's >> just really beyond the pale. and so who knows how it got this far for so long? certainly needs to be looked into. i know that the end of lacp is called for what's called gem a pattern and practice investigation the department of justice is assessing that. what does that mean? it means a full evaluation as it relates to what they're doing in this community, how deeply rooted it is whether or not this is further ingrained in the culture and we'll see what develops because of that. what certainly we expect police to beyond the bead and to do a great job that so many do. but when you look to people like this who are not doing it, it

puts a blemish on others who do. and i think raises concerns amongst law enforcement for those who are actually doing a good job that their reputation would be tarnished by the despicable nature of the misconduct of b6 individuals who are getting their day of reckoning today and got their day of reckoning in federal court. last point, jim, and that is that we heard the victim impact statements from the two african-american men and here that were abused in boy with a riveting and in found one, walked out the courtroom related to some of the testimony that was given by the officer when they were accepting accountability. so it's a tough that the credit why we do value the work that our police officers do all over the country. but i think to some extent cases like this will strengthen law enforcement because there is accountability and john and joe, you and i, we all know that up until the last several years, you just didn't see as much of this police officers being held accountable for their actions. we're seeing it more and more should make

policing better. john and joey, thanks to the great discussion as always, just horrendous case and mississippi. appreciate the way you both handled it. thank you so much. and coming up and other trump associate heading to jail, the sentence for former trump organization cfo alan weisselberg. that's coming up how would really happened sunday, april 28. did nine on cnn >> this looks like an actual ketone >> meanwhile, at a vrbo, when other vacation and rentals aren't what they're cracked up to be. dry one where you know what you'll get >> with priceline vip family, you can unlock deals five times faster. you don't even have to be an actual family. >> i'd be the dad on the day he physically it's clear that i'm the dad. >> okay. so which data is pain? >> your generalized myasthenia gravis made my life a lot

redefining insurance >> erin burnett, outfront tonight at seven odd cnn from donald trump's inner circle to a jail cell at rikers island just minutes ago, a new york >> judge sentenced alan weisselberg to five months behind bars for perjury. the former chief financial officer

of the trump organization admitted to lying under oath in the civil fraud case against the former president weisselberg also helped exaggerate the value of trump's new york penthouse in order to get better rates on loans and insurance policies, cnn's kara scannell is live outside the courthouse for us. qarrah what's happening? >> so jim alan weisselberg, sentence to five months in jail. this was part of a plea deal that he had made with the manhattan district attorney's office. the hearing took less than five minutes. weisberg walked in with a windbreaker ready to report to prison during the hearing, the judge asked him if he had anything he wanted to say. he said no, your honor. she then said she would send him to this agreed deal of five months in jail. he had pleaded guilty last month to two counts of felony counts of perjury for lying during the investigation by the new york attorney general's office into the trump organization since finances specifically, he admitted to lying about his knowledge that the size of trump's triplex apartment was false and that hit about his

role in his knowledge of making the value of that triplex hartman false in the financial statements. now, as after that, the judge sentenced weisselberg to five months. the security officers came up to him, handcuffed him behind his back and he was led out of the courtroom where he will begin serving the sentence that rikers island, this is the second guilty plea by alan weisselberg, who previously leave pleaded guilty to 15 counts of tax fraud. he is a longtime confident of former president donald trump as part of this deal, he will not be testifying against donald trump at the trial is set to begin next week. he is a central figure in that trial. this is about the falsification of the documents to cover up the hush money payment made to stormy daniels weisselberg, the chief financial officer at the time, was involved in how those payments were made and the reimbursement of payments to michael cohen, but he will not be testifying in that case. instead, he will be serving his five months at rikers island. jim >> all right. kara scannell. thank you very much. let's discuss now what cnn legal analyst karen friedman,

agnifilo, she previously served as chief assistant district attorney in the manhattan district attorney's office. karen, your reaction to alan weisselberg? i mean, yet again somebody in trump's orbit, somebody close to the former president, going to jail >> yeah, he absolutely is decided that he is not going to turn on trump so much so that he lied under oath during the civil fraud trial in front of judge arthur engoron recently, he was not, however, he was although he was charged with lying under oath during that trial, the manhattan da's office allowed him to plead guilty instead, to lying in a deposition prior to that, because otherwise it would have triggered a violation of his parole from the last time that he pled guilty to protect trump, which was those tax fraud charges. so it was just very interesting to me that

he's willing to do another five months like he already did it rather than turn on trump it really is remarkable and i do want to ask you about the hush money trial because for donald trump and this is happening in a few days from now. i mean, it's coming up on monday yesterday, and appeals court rejected his efforts to delay the start and i'm just curious, what do you think is going to happen next? i mean what rabbits can he still pull out of the hat? what cars does he still have up asleep. i mean, one of the questions i had my mind, karen, could he just not show up on monday? i suppose he can't do that but it kind of makes you wonder what, what's he going to try next? >> yeah, so many of us have been wondering, is he going to try to go to the supreme court and get a stay because ten days from the start of the trial, they're hearing the presidential immunity arguments, and that's already on an expedited basis and he is also argued that there was

presidential immunity in this case to write in this first election interference case. so that is something he could still do, although the clock is ticking, so that he, if he doesn't do that today or tomorrow, i think that gets foreclosed and he has to show up in criminal cases. it's not like civil cases where you can just come and go or choose what you go to or not at all. criminal cases, there are a lot of rights that attach during criminal trial that a defendant has to be present for or explicitly wave. and so he will be required to attend and so we'll see if i don't think he's going to abscond as they say and not sure if he can he's fairly easy to find. >> yeah. i mean, i'm karen. i mean, just to ask you a follow up on that. we're just saying that perhaps he could go to the supreme court. could the supreme court somehow the united states supreme court somehow delay a new york hush money case. is that is that feasible? is that they >> owe could i mean, yeah, it's the supreme court of the united states obviously. and

they are the supreme court of the land and there's something called federalism, which means that they can definitely put it press pause if they wanted to. i don't think they will because this is very different than the presidential immunity case that they are, that they are hearing this particular case involves his personal life, right? although he was president when he wrote some of when he wrote the checks, at the time that he was doing this, he was candidate trump and he was trying to prevent this from going to the electorate. so that's personal. it's not presidential in nature, but you never know. so i just one of the things that he could have possibly done he's been making motions all week trying to delay and he's getting that has not happened, but we'll see if he if he does this >> yeah. i mean, it's everything in the kitchen sink, the catch-up against the wall, everything you name it. all right. karen. thank you so much for your time. this morning. we really appreciate it. all right. let's go back to our

led signs over white house where the president is hosting the japanese prime minister, arlette, very important day. i understand they're calling an official visit, not a state visit what more can you tell us >> yeah. you have just a short while ago, president biden, welcome japanese prime minister kishida here to the white house, kicking off this official state visit with that formal rival ceremony, you saw the two liters walking, reviewing the troops, going through the full pomp and circumstance that the white house rolls out for some of its top allies and president biden in remarks talked about how this is really a monumental alliance between the us and japan. they've come overcome differences in the past to try i'd put both countries on stronger footing together. this visit comes as the us has really sought to bolster these alliances and relationships in the pacific with an eye on trying to blunt china's military and economic influence in the region, japan, as the president noted, has really been at the cornerstone the

center of the biden administration's policy in the indo-pacific region at a time when japanese prime minister kishida has shifted an increased the country's defense policy, as well as offering a longstanding support to ukraine amid its russia's invasion of the country, the biden administration really has seen a willing partner in because cheetah across a range of areas with the president really saying that this isn't just about the indo-pacific, but a global partnership, but these two liters are expected in the coming hours to roll out a host of announcements relating to defense security people, to people ties, all as they are trying to showcase the strength of this relationship, especially as trying to counter some of china's influence in the region are very important meeting and of course that press conference coming up, joint press conference with the two leaders coming up in just a short while from now, arlette saenz. thank you very much coming up inflation numbers coming in a little hot for the month of march, how this complicates things for the fed. that's matched

down? i mean, it just it just seems like it's i don't know. we're going to live with it. >> you're here we go. >> this has definitely been a setback. this is >> not good news. it doesn't necessarily mean that at the fed or anyone else should give up the fight against inflation. i think what it does mean is that it is less likely that the federal reserve will start cutting rates as quickly as either it had hoped or it had predicted or the general public and markets had hoped. and that's what you see in the market today. if you look at where investors are expecting rates to be later this year, they have severely reduce the chances of a rate cut by june and they're expecting only a couple of more rate cuts later this year. and that's because the fed doesn't want to take the the intuition is that the fed will not be willing to take its foot off the brakes because that risk of inflation is still there >> yeah, gas prices have been

inching up and i just hear people who want to buy a house right now or buy a car listening what you have to say, catherine or just tearing their hair out, people are just so fed up with those high interest rates in those sectors. but jamie dimon recently warn us interest rates can surge to 8% due to these inflationary pressures. is that a possibility? i mean this is starting to become like a real worry for a lot of folks out that a lot of smart people out there >> so to be clear, if you look at what jamie dimon had actually said, he didn't specifically say that he thought 8% interest rates were the most likely scenario he said that there's a lot of uncertainty right now and that they are trying to prepare for scenarios of 2% interest rates up all the way up to 8% or higher because we don't know what's going to happen to long-term rates. we don't know what's ing to happen to the fiscal situation. we don't know what's going to happen with oil and energy prices, which also affect or can push through to other forms of inflation. so

i think it is a concerning potential sentence particularly since we haven't seen 8% rates in a few decades since the 90s. but it doesn't necessarily mean that it's the most likely outcome. it's just something that is within the realm of possibility at this point. >> yeah, we don't want to go back. there are a catherine rebel. thank you very much. really appreciate it. a lot of breaking news this morning, of course, we're going to keep our eyes on that official visit of the japanese prime minister over at the white house. my colleague wolf blitzer in the cnn newsroom. he'll pick up on all that, mr. few moments stay with us for that thank you very much for joining us this morning. have a great day >> bree, in this guy, parents, husbands and wives gone i could've done something differently. you can just make it better for those that follow space shuttle columbia, the final flight, two part finale, sunday at nine on cnn if you're living with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis for active psoriatic arthritis. symptoms
