11:02 am
but will be back tomorrow. trump's legal team was not able to secure a delay in the hush money trial. jury selection will begin three weeks from today. >> aishah: we have leo terrell and cb cotton for the hush money case and we go straight to lydia hu live outside the new york state supreme court. hi, lydia. reporter: hi, aishah. some legal experts that i consult with were surprised about the bond reduction of $454 down to $175 million for former president trump and that now being the amount he has to post in order to protect his assets from attorney general letitia james and providing him an additional ten days in order to post that amount and the decision is a welcomed
11:03 am
development for the trump legal team and had previously asked that he post only only $100 million and he'll respect that decision. >> i respect that decision and for them fixing that decision made by the corruption judge engoron .x james tried to get him and she's like the puppet master of the judge. i want the deadline extended and amount reduced coming in the nick of time and the attorney general could have began seizing his assets and she said she would have done and frozen bank accounts and filed leans on the estate and she registered the judgment in nearby west chester county and would have allowed to enforce on the properties where there's a golf court and private
11:04 am
estate and posting the bond for $175 million, his assets will be protected from seizure by the attorney general's office and attorneys continue to appeal the underlying decision that found him liable for fraud. aishah, back to you. >> aishah: okay, lydia, thank you. >> bill: good afternoon. reporter: hi, bill, good afternoon. first, former president donald trump counting one victory in the fight to appeal the civil fraud judgment and the efforts to stop the criminal hush money trial from moving farred are far from over and the judge ruling the case as you said will move forward with jury selection beginning april 15th and today's hearing an effort by the legal team to get it delayed by the summer or thrown out all together and case alleges trump
11:05 am
attempted to cover up hush money payments to stormy daniels and the coverup cheated voter as chance to size up trump as a presidential candidate. trump's lawyers arguing that they needed more time and the da of trying to bury the material and only a handful of the new records were relevant and the judge ultimately decided the da's office was not responsible for the late disclosure and
11:06 am
reporter: lawyers citing pretrial publicity and they'll have ten days to respond. >> bill: cb, thanks for that and in newark as well. thank you, cb. aishah. >> aishah: bring in leo terrell and civil rights attorney and fox news contributor and someone who has a personal relationship with the former president and first off have you spoken to him in the last several minutes here? the american public watching all this play out and what do you make of the appellate court's decision today and massive reduction in his bond is this vindication for the former president? >> yes, a message to letitia
11:07 am
james she's overreaching to the prosecution and we're going to let the process work out and bedeuce it for the beginning to the end of this case and there's no harm and no victim and no damage. our colleague kerri used an example about dorothy red shoes a. better example, i'll take a rock and hit your brand new rolls royce and i'll say take me to court. if there's not a scratch on that car, how much do i owe you? where are the victims? there are no victims and i submit to you this case will be basically reversed and no fine imposed against president trump. >> aishah: let me talk about letitia james here because you brought her up. she's also trying to stay defiant in what the court has already ruled and her statement she said that the judgment
11:08 am
against him plus interest still stands. what do you make of that? >> i've been a lawyer for 34 years so i'll give you my expertise. there's a trial court ruling that's subject to the appellate court and subsequent court and no finality of the ruling and she's absolutely wrong. there's a ruling right now but finality has not settled in and doesn't know law or playing the political game. i think the hardest thing, aishah, for me to watch as a lawyer is to try and look at this case through the lens of law. no, this is a political witch hundred. hundred >> aishah: trying to get more catch through truth
11:09 am
social or anything else in case it doesn't quite go in his direction? >> i will tell you in my opinion if i was giving legal advice, puts up the cash as recommended or ordered by the appellate court and he'll do that and i'll submit to you that he plays out the appellate court process on this frivolous case and he has other areas to work on and he has a campaign to run and in the civil court arena. >> aishah: leo terrell, thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. >> bill: aishah, there's a political round developing between washington and jerusalem and a delegation from israel canceled their visit for wednesday from the white house and u.s. obstructing cerumen stained from vie -- abstained
11:10 am
from vetoing the council. let's drop in. >> the united states is saving and allowing to go through and perception is u.s. no longer has i israel's back. >> that's not true and nothing could be further from the truth frankly. we of course have israel's back and we're speaking and we're still providing tools and capabilities and weapons systems and israel going against what we agreed and it's still a viable threat and no change by this nonbinding resolution and what israel can or cannot do in terms of defending himself. the resolution we drafted on friday and we vetoed similar ones prior to it. my answer to that was going to be my answer today and the substance today and the ones we vetoed didn't condemn hamas and didn't condemn them and we
11:11 am
couldn't support it. the release of the men and women hostages and of course a temporary situation. >> officials saying netanyahu acting this way because he's facing political pressure and isn't there ones facing president biden is that's part of the reason why you al are alawing this to -- allowing this to happen? >> i can't speak for the democratting party and saying the general public and support for israel for this place. is that part of the problem? >> making decisions on the national security interest of the united states and this decision to abstain on this resolution in keeping with the national interest of the united states and quite frankly it's in
11:12 am
keeping with the national security concerns of the ziti really people. >> that interview and the white house and situation remains a national security and >> if you care alabama the boarder and security of the boarder and president sure does, then we ought to get that national security supplemental passed and that's what that funding will do. there's only so much he can do through executive action and in order to get more resources in order to prevent more people from getting in illegally, you've got to have funding. >> national security threat going a little further than broad concern as president and more specific, dhs monitors all available intelligence at the
11:13 am
border every single day and we're certainly aware >> bill: what's going on, there was a ceasefire vote earlier today at united nations and the vote went through 14-0 because the united states abstained and all this is developing because the u.s. government is concerned alabama the idf, israeli defense forces surrounding rafah and gaza and going in soon. 14-0 and israel urged the united states to veto it. it chose not to and israeli delegation that was expected in washington on wednesday will not happen. i want to bring in steve hilton, fox news contributor for this and more and breaking news of the day. steve, your reaction to what
11:14 am
appears to be a growing divide. >> it's very clear and not just us that have been staunched supporters of israel and it's clear that the official position and biden administration is going to allow hamas to win? is that the position? >> they're saying very clearly israel should just stop and don't pursue hamas in rafah and we know that there's at least 40% and if you leave any hamas in tact spend up coming back and leading for gaza and that's for gaza and the region and global
11:15 am
security of the national security and jake sullivan out there and not winning in one and not telling anyone least of all the israeli government how they're supposed to win when you have hamas deliberately as we've known all along using their own citizens as a shield and sacrificing them in order to cling onto power and that's the biden position and it's totally disgraceful and driven by domestic politics and john kirby not telling the truth and decisions made in u.s. national interest and joe biden's political interest. >> bill: looking further into the democratic party he represents now and you can see if you go back to michigan some two weeks ago, 100,000 people voting for a noncommitted candidate. the 16 electoral votes in michigan come november, steve. both campaigns on trump team and
11:16 am
biden team have their eye on it. go ahead. >> exactly as you say, michigan, high concentration of arab americans there and very strong opposition to the -- what israel is doing there and biden worried about the crucial swing state and across the map of the swing ststates and other massive probm is the young voters that he relies onto be part of the coalition to get him across the finish line and they dortmouth too don't agree with what he was saying in the initial aftermath of october 7 and what is he doing? he's pandering to them. this is what i said all along about joe biden. you can never trust joe biden is right from the beginning, 50 years in politics, unprincipled and machined politician and has been on every side of every issue because he's a machine politician and doesn't have
11:17 am
principles and doesn't believe in anything and except his own political advancement and seeing that played out in the appalling message. >> bill: hard to know this, steve. we were told last week that israel believes 99 hostages were being held. apparently to some degree there's talks on going and could release 40 of the 99 earlier today. in exchange, hamas might get up to 80 prisoners in israeli jails, of which there's 100 in prison convicted of murder. i don't know if this ceasefire deal make it is more possible at the moment that 40 or 50 or 99 hostages may come home. do you see a glimmer of optimism there that >> it has to be able
11:18 am
to pursue and support even if our administration isn't and care about getting nem they're pausing their action every single day in order to comply with some of these and they'recosming on the way to raid in the new york times today and columnist that says very clearly in he's talked to all the experts and israel doing much more to protect civilian life and we have to support them. >> bill: steve hilton, thank you so much. back with the news on donald trump shortly in the meantime, aishah, there's something happening on the baseball front
11:19 am
that's intriguing. go ahead. >> aishah: yeah, a lot of interest in this one here, bill. mlb super star shohei ohtani expected to face the media shortly as questions grow of the millions of dollars wired from his bank account to illegal bookie. what was going on there? plus this, >> what's keeping me up at night is the 140,000 known got aways and border security is a big piece of national security. >> bill: head of border patrol warning that terrorists could capitalize on chaos on the southern boarder and we'll take you there live today, next. buss is never easy, but starting it eight months pregnant... that's a different story. with the chase ink card, we got up and running in no time. earn unlimited 1.5% cash back on every purchase with the chase ink business unlimited card. make more of what's yours. life, diabetes, there's no slowing down. each day is a unique blend of people to see and things to do.

best of my recollection james comer and jim jordan threatening to hold ag garland in contempt for insufficient of documents related to the hur report and holding audio recordings of special council hur's interviews with president biden is his ghost writer and new deadline of april 8 for garland to produce the material out just a moment ago. checking calendar and april 8 about two weeks from today. aishah in washington. >> aishah: bill, border patrol chief jason owens sounding alarm at number of known got aways at the southern boarder and now he's warning that terrorists and other dangerous people are likely slipping through the cracks and coming into the country. nate foy is live at the border in eagle pass, texas. nate, if this is happening they just need people, weapons and
11:25 am
planning. what did the chief say about the risk? reporter: well, he said that it keeps him up at night, aishah. chief ownens said we're approaching 1 million illegal crossings so far this year and border patrol doesn't have resources for 140,000 known got aways for this fiscal year and comes as new video today from el paso and it's been a hot spot with more myograns being processed there today and new cbp numbers show el paso sector led the entire southern border in migrant encounters yesterday and chief ownens said that's no -- owens said that's no coincidence. >> returning from their perspective and they're safe and tied up we're doing this and what are they doing a couple miles down the road? reporter: aishah, texas dps giving the migrants stampede and
11:26 am
texas nags 23458 guard soldier and more arrests may be coming. >> the federal government continues to ignore the situation on the boarder and safety and security of the country and the american people when they have the authority right now to take executive action to stop the flow of illegal crossings at the border. reporter: aishah, that's allowing them to turn them over to border patrol and challenging in a ruling for the interim and going to come last week and coming on april 3 and also, aishah, if sb4 goes into effect, crossings in america's west are expected to skyrocket and i mentioned yesterday's numbers and right behind el paso san diego and tucson, those were second and third across the entire southern border.
11:27 am
back to you. >> aishah: we know you'll continue watching for us. nate foy live at the border. thank you, nate. >> bill: one of mexico's more ruthless cartels and targeting america's senior citizens. state department jillian turner, what's the news about going for american vacation timeshares, jillian? >> the fastest group of growing victims here happens to be u.s. american seniors. take a listen. >> that's a vulnerable population and individuals that never asked to sell timeshares and they're unsolicited phone calls and contacts and mexican
11:28 am
scammers don't immediately go in for the kill. >> the amount of money starts small and gets bigger and bigger and bigger and they've seen cases and we've talked to people that have been part of this where again, it was tens of thousands yesterday and more. m. reporter: the government has no plans to crack down on crimes and not acting for policeman as foreign government and any time, bill, experts say somebody is asking to wire money overseas and skeptical and don't know who that person is in real life. do not do it is their top ad
11:29 am
advice. >> bill: good advice. nice to see you and it's the state department. >> we're right here and doing the case in the way that it needed to be done. i don't feel like we've been slowed down at all. i think there's efforts to slow down the train but the train is coming. >> aishah: that's fani willis breaking silence and a judge ruling she could stay on trump election meddling case in georgia and comments sparking calls for a gag order, bill. >> bill: the trump defense team not falling for it and james freeman, wall street journal, next. you can't get a home loan because of your credit? here's great news. at newday we've been granted automatic authority by the va to make our own loan approval decisions. in fact, if you've had credit challenges and missed a payment along the way, you're more than five times more likely to get approved for the newday 100 va cash out loan. no one knows veterans like newday usa.

announcement coming out today? reporter: well, aishah, if you believe dave calhoun, it's because he told the boeing board of break torrs this morning he wanted to retire from the company by the end of this year and says he was not forced out but this was his decision but a lot of people saying that's probably not the case and it's been in the works for awhile. calhoun under intense pressure since early january and he was forced to answer questions at congress and he repeatedly took responsibility for a series of quality issues and the big one of course was january 5 when a door plug blew off a 737 max 9 and going for california and thankfully nobody was hurt and the scare triggered investigations by the national transportation safety board. the federal aviation administration and the justice department and ntsb said four critical bolts were missing and boeing has no record of who made that mistake. since then, there's been a series of mechanical problems leading to flights having to make emergency landings and one
11:35 am
case and a tire fell off after takeoff from san francisco. an life-threatenings say boeing was struggling with quality under the last two ceos and both with financial backgrounds. >> i'm amazed it took this long and all of the news has been negative and going to calhoun with mullenburger and not doing anything to improve the moral and change the culture. the chair of the board stepping down in may and no successor in calhoun has been named and wants to be part of the process and see how much of the process he'll be allowed to be in but looks like it'll be for several more months and the successor. >> aishah: dan springer, thank you. >> i'm not embarrassed by anything i've done and i guess
11:36 am
my greatest way and going on and we were doing the case in the way that it needed to be done. i don't feel like we've been slowed down at all and i think there's efforts to slow down the train coming. >> bill: there's fani willis talking over the weekend and full steam ahead of the trump election meddling case in fulton county, georgia. a judge ruled she could stay on the case and judge and prosecutor had to leave nathan wade and calls for a gag order after that same judge also warned willis against making public statements like you just heard and wall street journal editorial page. >> there's a lot of questions on what the judge is thinking and starting with the saying this case and the appearance of
11:37 am
impropriority and stay on with fani willis and as long as your boyfriend moves off the case and a strange ruling. this is probably news to a lot of public employees in georgia that the conflict of interest is so high. you actually have to show that money paid to the vendor and went personally and if you're run ago vendor relationship and it's a significant vendor in your office and you don't disclose alaska the romantic relationship with that vendor and very few institutions in america that would not have a problem and why businesses are allowed in fulton county and we're going to be in question.
11:38 am
>> bill: he said judge macafee's warning is there and she's on camera and said it. >> thinking about appeals and you probably want her to keep talking, but i just think it's going to be a continuing problem and they have the opportunity to appeal this decision to allow her to stay on the case. i don't understand how you can go forward once you have official ruling from the judge this case is essentially tainted. >> bill: dana and i were on the air when it happened and every guest we had on said the judge split the baby with the bath water.
11:39 am
>> she d. fani willis saying this case is so important and underlying issues and when they were getting to the underlying issues and they could have a problem there too. her case basically hang as lot of it on statements that are leerily protected with constitutional free speech. >> bill: some of the lawyers we talked to suggest that had president trump's team could call her as a witness. i don't know that's going to happen or not. that's going to make quite the moment. there's cameras in the courtroom in fulton county, georgia. >> bearing more scrutiny or holding well under scrutiny and issue of the time line and obviously her story of when she
11:40 am
began the relationship was at odds with some of the testimony the judge seemed to basically accept it as the word because he suggest that had other entities, bar association and so forth might go after that but that might be the target for the trump team. >> got to get ten people if there to do an attack. send them across the southern boarder and 9 million people that entered unlawfully and illegally and only takes four to do this kind of carnage >> .>> bill: is the u.s. an easy driver and retired attorney general about that and more coming up next.

ooisis serves their attacks in iraq and syria earlier this year and risk of attack imnating from afghanistan is increasing and isis retains capability and will to attack u.s. in western interest abroad in as little as six months with lit toll no warning. >> aishah: that's a scary warning from u.s. officials who say that many warnings as well were ignored about a possible isis k atake look the one in moscow and terror group has global ambitions while gop lawmakers are pleading for that threat to be taken seriously here at home. >> 'isis would love to do what
11:46 am
they did in the country and going here. >> the school trip for spring break and this is a very dangerous echo of president biden's failed withdraw from afghanistan. >> aishah: retired colonel joe batino and retired spokesman. thank you for joining us. we warned the russians about this attack. we gave them credible investigation and this was a massive intelligence failure on the part of the kremlin. what do you think went wrong here and what can we learn from what happened? >> i don't know if it was a massive intelligence failure. i think russian intelligence, russian defense, moscow always stretched very thin with threats to moscow and obviously adjudicating the war and i don't think it's anything more than that. >> aishah: in terms of threats to americans here, you'd need
11:47 am
manpower and weapons and planning taking awhile for terrific rihannas getting into the country through the border and here's the white house just for a few minutes ago on the warning that isis k could carry out through the border and here's this. >> dhs monitors all available intelligence at the border every single day and we're certainly aware that there could be national security threats that could arise at the border, which is why we're arguing so hard to get additional resources and capables down there. >> aishah: what is your assessment of how dhs, they're monitoring capabilities, this is the state of our own surveillance of the border currently? >> my previous command and central command last year around this time last year. we submitted to congress, it's
11:48 am
public and on center service committee website that isis outward facing element of isis could attack and wanted to attack inside of eastern europe and the beginning part of 2024 and then inside the united states by the end of 2024. so aims to attack and we believe the intelligence was leading with the capability by the end of this calendar year and so that is very alarming right now for something to come in from the southwest border. >> aishah: colonel, in your expertise, any executive orders that this president could take today to help dhs surveil and protect from any of these threats.
11:49 am
>> well, there's executive orders along the border and beefed up with national guard troops and they're limited in what they can do to help customs and border patrol really, you know, the key here is gaining intelligence on isis corridor and we're limited about their plans and capability and size and strength. and so i think the key is gaining intelligence in what they're doing inside of afghanistan and gaining intelligence in their movements and then just beefing up the southwest border to stop them there. >> aishah: thank you for your time, colonel. we really appreciate it. >> thanks so much for having me. >> bill: we've got drama, aishah, when we'll hear from shohei ohtani, maybe the best player in baseball and hearing from the comments and the

shohei ohtani is planning to speak out for the very first time since his interpreter was fired over claims of illegal gambling and theft from the star player. talking about millions of dollars here and william la jeunesse is on the story. what do we expect to hear? >> hey, bill. not as much as you or fans would like but this is obviously baseball's biggest scandaling rights since pete rose and we learn that had ohtani will only make a statement, no questions, no news cameras and the question remains is he the victim of a crime or did he facilitate more. they occur and county spokesman said for a million in ep gambling debt through multiple wire transfers of $500,000 each from ohtani's bank account and the next day however, ohtani's lawyer contradicted that calling the megastar a victim of a theft.

>> i don't care how much money you have, how did this guy allegedly have access to wire large sums of money? how does that happen? you can't play baby the woods and claim i had no idea someone in my circle had access to my financial banking institutions. >> bill: so the irs and u.s. attorney are investigating as well as major league baseball and prohibits players from betting illegally so there's three possibilities as we look now at dodger's stadium and aippae acted alone and spends 4, maybe $7 million and nobody notices or ohtani did not bet but did pay the bookie to help his friend or c, ohtani himself made bets even though there's no evidence he didn't make that claim. bill, a statement today at 2:45 local and 5:45 eastern. probably very short and attorney, teams, people will go
