enjoy that moment for them and congratulations. obviously they deserve to go there. maybe i could go to the white house on different terms, though. um, but, you know, i think you know that's for l s u and after a good for her, biden made those comments. they kind of walked it back at the white house, saying no, it's just l. c that's going to come i what a classy response and actually on both fronts, point tone everything and doing the whole thing. isn't that what sports isn't that? what you do? you taught your opponent. it doesn't. it's probably truck through the tournament, not just us. they probably see each other after and hug it out or something or have a drink or do whatever they do. but that was like you're on the court. you know if you watch any other professional sports games, any other college games, you see this all time. and yet there's a line obviously, but i mean, especially the guys, right? i mean, it's not no double standards here. you get to taunt your opponent the end zone after someone scores a touchdown plot their dances exactly. thank you . all right. see you in this morning continues now. good

quick transition. indictment of news going so good morning, everyone. it's early. we're glad you're with us. let's get started with five things to know for this wednesday, april 5th 2023 donald trump defiant after pleading not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records during a speech last night. he vowed to fight the charges. he railed against prosecutors and the judge. there's a new sheriff in town is a new mayor in town. talking about chicago cnn projects that progressive brandon johnson has won. the runoff is going to join us live in the eight a.m. out. we're going to talk a lot about why he thinks he won what needs to be done in chicago, a sea change for wisconsin cnn projects the liberals will now hold the majority on the state supreme court a significant flip that could have major implications for abortion rights and future election and speaking of major implications for the international community speaker kevin mccarthy is defined china as he is preparing to meet face to face with taiwan's president

on american soil. beijing is already threatening to retaliate . also a large and extremely dangerous tornado has just been confirmed in missouri. it is still dark there, as you can see here, severe weather has continued to pummel the midwest will tell you more. seen in this morning starts right now. ah hello. usually we're on at this hour. this is when we start, but we just if you're just tuning in, we already did a whole hour before this. i know that was our warmup. listen, we're talking about something that was historic as we've been saying, it's going to be a story yesterday, but the response is the big thing that people are talking about now, and that's what we're going to talk about, as well, among other things, because the former president going on a tirade after his arrest here in new york city. just hours after his historic

arrangement, trump gave a defiant speech at mar-a-lago. it was full of grievances and false claims he rallied against, he railed against the charges, attacked the judge and cast himself as a victim of political persecution. anything fake case was brought only to interfere with the upcoming 2024 election. and it should be dropped immediately. i have a trump hating judge with the trump hating wife and family. they can't beat us at the ballot box , so they try and beat us through the law. so the former president was when he was actually in court. didn't say much. aside from not guilty when he entered his plea, trump is facing 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. prosecutors say he orchestrated a hush money scheme to cover up alleged affairs with an adult film actress and a playboy. so

trump looked somber at the courthouse. look at those pictures, ignoring questions from reporters, notably, the judge warned trump to stop making inflammatory public comments regarding the case just hours before trump blasted the same judge, the judges family and the district attorney. so there you go. our senior legal affairs correspondent paula reed is here with more paula. good morning to you. so he was admonished and yet and still afterwards. still went in. blasted the judge. he did and he can do that because there's no gag order. at this point, the judge reminded all the parties don't say or do anything that would incite violence here or impact that proceedings. it's really tricky for this judge because former president trump is also a candidate for office, putting any restrictions on what he says raises some real constitutional questions, and it's the first of many tests for this judge in this unprecedented case. according to the manhattan

district attorney's office. former president donald trump was at the center of an alleged catch and kill scheme to suppress negative stories about him in order to influence the 2016 presidential election and to benefit his electoral prospects. trump appeared in a new york courtroom on tuesday and pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. speaking at mar-a-lago tuesday night, he lashed out at the district attorney, the judge in the case and the indictment itself. and i never thought anything like this. could happen in america never thought it could happen. the only crime that i have committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from from trud

that 45 minute speech at mar-a-lago. who is he? he's our savior politician, politicians and then

in 2020, you know more known, but now he has all of this hanging over him, and it's going to be interesting to see what happens in 2024 specific. you have indictments coming down impossible. other jurisdictions in 2016 even his own advisers. one of this, he talked about our problems. that was how he framed into the problem homes last night. there was a moment where he said, it's not about me. it's about us. he went out of his way, and obviously that is something they have been urging him to. how can he say he's been saying i'm your protector. how can you say i'm your protector when you're in a courtroom and your you know, under arrest, and they work to their advantage advantage point this could happen to you. look what's happening to me. fascinating not sure how many people are making hush money payments. i don't think that that is totally fair , like immigration or other issues that have been talking about those amounts of money so progresses, as was just mentioned the last interview in the upper midwest or celebrating this morning after two big victories in chicago and wisconsin in chicago senior

projects the next mayor. will be liberal cook county commissioner brandon johnson. he beat the moderate former school school board session, say excuse me, school superintendent paul vallas, who ran on a pro police platform in a race that was heavily focused on chicago's violent crime problem next door in wisconsin, the race for a seat to the supreme court. it went to democrat backed janet produce a wits. she defeated the conservative candidate, daniel kelly, flipping controlled to liberals in a race that shattered all the time you have spending records for state judicial elections, the shift in the balance of power comes with the state high court due to a rule in coming months on a strict abortion ban and on gop jeremy mandarin that could affect the outcome of the 20. 24 presidential race. this story. why because i think it has you heard this? can't when she was on the trail. she did not hide her views on things, especially the political maps and wisconsin. she often called them unfair. she is going to be in this seat when they redraw those

maps and republicans kind of a near supermajority in wisconsin . they've had a lock on it for it. a decade. now this could be the beginning of the end for that is shocking in wisconsin. now that you have this progressive when 10 years they have a term of 10 years, and it was a 43 balance that conservative favor now and no, it's not going to be really, really important. you've been saying this, by the way, it's in the national headlines this morning. but you've been saying this for a long time. this is incredibly important to watch in 2024 to yep. so we're gonna 2024 is going to be very interesting. millions are waking up under weather watches right now. tornadoes and hail the size of baseballs, devastating communities in the south and the upper midwest last thing that they need right now where the storm is heading at this hour. that's next later today, house speaker kevin mccarthy will meet with taiwan's president, despite warnings of quote serious repercussions from china. the big issues on the table next. i have a surprise for you. i h hae

are in a tornado watch where i'm located in little rock. and the damage you see behind me is from friday evening storm. so we've got a very storm battered and very storm weary community who is frankly, quite scared of what's potentially to come still , i want you to see what these storms have been capable of other than just tornadoes because there has been some impressive hail stones that have already fallen. get this in davenport's iowa, there was a four inch hailstone that fell from the sky. that is something you cannot take shelter from that will dent your vehicle. put holes in your windshield. that's the size of a grapefruit. so let's get to the ground and talk about what's actually happening. now that newest tornado watch that don just mentioned that includes the northwestern portions of arkansas and north eastern texas. so just outside of dallas fort worth but i want to focus in on what's happening across the chicago suburbs because this is significant, a very powerful line of thunderstorms currently moving into madison, wisconsin. peoria indiana, illinois and chicago

right around that 7 to 9 a.m. time frame that is right during the peak of rush hour, you will be hit with strong winds and the potential for large hail as well. here's a tornado watch across little rock. we are still very much in the zone here. there are tornado warn storms to our west don very active, very fluid situation. more tornadoes to come. yeah you and everyone else in the area. please be safe. thank you. meteorologist derek van dam. and as we keep an eye on that, also, just hours from now the president of taiwan is going to sit down in los angeles with house speaker kevin mccarthy at the reagan presidential library. this is tensions are already ratcheting up between the united states and china. china obviously views the self governing island of taiwan as its own. beijing has threatened to quote resolutely fight back if the meeting goes ahead as planned. cnn's will ripley is live in taiwan will this meeting is very much going ahead as planned. can you just remind our viewers why this is such something that beijing is going to be watching so closely

today? will sign when has said you know that she's not going to let external pressure pressure from china. stop her from, you know, making an unofficial visit to the united states. he's in between official visits to central america and she happens to be in california speaker mccarthy is going there to sit down and meet with her. it is viewed as less provocative than if speaker mccarthy flew to taiwan, even though he's saying he won't rule that out. ah but but the purpose here you know is to continue this, you know, unofficial, get very important bond and relationship between the united states and taiwan. now in china, the state media right now relatively new did about this, but a lot of analysts believe it's really not a question of if china will put on some sort of military display, but how far will they go? because if they go too far like they did when nancy pelosi visited taiwan last august, and they encircled the island with military drills really unprecedented their skin well, even erasing the unofficial but respected median line across the

taiwan strait, which is only 110 . miles wide. you know chinese warships and planes now regularly crossing you know that sensitive dividing line on the taiwan strait and taiwan is still reeling from that from that meeting, but caitlyn's media in china relatively muted about this right now because they have a lot to lose on the global stage if they push this too far. yeah quite a historic meeting will be watching it closely here. will ripley. thank you. also this morning, police are finding new evidence after they searched the home of the alleged national school shooter as the officers who stopped the attack and played a critical role are now speaking out. we'll take you live to the ground in nashville next. eras newew toasd baguette is loaded with fresh details. tomatoes meltedd mozzarella and freshly made green goddddess dressing and whn they come together, those details become big, new toasted baguettes cater your next event with panera. if long care wer

individual door to door door door with me. this is their desperate search for a shooter armed with three guns and showing no signs of stopping along the way. grim discoveries , all of us stepped over a victim. um. i to this day. don't know how i did that. morally um , but training is what kicked in followed their senses and accurate odor. the smell of gunpowder wasn't there, then a chilling sound. we heard another shot in it. so it told us that the shooter was to our right. once we got. near the shooter, and the shooter was neutralized . investigators say audrey hale fired 152 rounds from start to finish, killing three innocent

children and three school employees. the violence horrifying animation and following these officers home, there's obviously been loss of sleep. children hugged more than normal just over a week since the shooting officer seizing from the home of the shooter, a suicide note weapons ammo, several journals and your books from the covenant school. as investigators continue to determine a motive for the attack, described as calculated and planned the young survivors of this mass shooting or leaning on their faith. they believe that their classmate it's going to heaven. that they are in a better place. they're not hurting. the ones that was hurting the most. was us. and the city of nashville has actually been receiving letters of condolence from sister cities all across the world. so far, they've received them from iraq , northern ireland and magdeburg , germany. one of these letters

at nine eastern. closed captioning brought to you by flexible family of products will swift here this is flex superglue get flex superglue and the entire flexible family of products at flexible products .com. wants to discuss this morning when it hasn't released to the former president donald trump, vowing to fight the criminal charges against him. he delivered a defiant primetime speech from his mar-a-lago resort filled with insults against the prosecutor and the judge in the case. he also argued that prosecutors are now interfering in an election. incredibly we are now a failing nation. we are a nation in decline. and now these radical left lunatics want to interfere with our elections by using law enforcement. we can't let that happened. so joining us now cnn

anchor and correspondent audie cornish she's also the host of cnn podcast assignment with audie cornish, and she joins us now. good morning, so there's lots of discuss here. you know, there's a consternation about running the former president's speech or comments live because you know, he has often has trouble with the truth. um but then just his performance in general. what did you think overall of the speech last night? how he handled it. you can't talk about the speech without talking about the morning. um and that those images coming out of the court there, there was some conversation that he might talk to the cameras during the arraignment. that did not happen . we've not known him ever to walk away from the camera, so i think he needed he needed to have a corrective moment. he could not end the day on the images that came out and so i think that rally was always going to happen, or some version of it, where he literally could go to a warmer climate politically, literally figuratively and have an image

at the end of the day. that doesn't look like defeat because in those morning kind of court visuals, he it was a sobering moment. it was a sobering moment for the country, but clearly for the former president. as we said he needed that moment. those that moment last night. does that supersede the images that you are? not in the long i understand your question? i mean , trump has always been a kind of skilled manipulator of some of the basic rules of journalism , which is like hey, the leader of the free world speaks or this person in power speaks and therefore we must show and eric that's like our responsibility and what he can do with those moments is used them for his own ends right so he didn't have a conversation about the issue at hand, and he had kind of a second. and campaign kickoff. um and you know we were hearing like the stump speech that incorporated all of his fears about the investigation and his pitch, which will be his picture

of the country in 2024, which is i represent you an attack on me as an attack on you. and you should spend all of your time focused on me in that endeavor. i mean, it's certainly a message . it's also a historic moment for him to have the first ever ex president respond to now being a criminal defense. i think it's worth hearing what he has to say about it and to see his response, especially the attacks on the judge after the judge six hours earlier. just said don't be attacking. it's similar to your point. he didn't actually react to it right? he didn't actually say those things. and i think one of the things we're going to have to think about going forward the media in general, not just the network is some of these things that we could fact check. we know he's going to say, you know, we know he's going to make certain comments about the election that he knows are not true. we know he's going to say things about, for instance, this prosecutor that are easily in fact, check the talking points are consistent and persistent, and i think part of the question will be if you now have a

defendant as a candidate. then there's going to be lots of these opportunities for them to speak in a way that i think might not be so responsible, but it is not their prerogative, right? it's not his job to be responsible. what he's saying publicly. it's his job to defend his innocence, and i think the media is going to have to really think about like, how how we cover it, and there there was sort of varying approaches over the last 24 hours. i think the point, um sara matthews, who worked for trump her 240.0.2 katelyn polantz tower was really interesting. when caitlin is this a, you know? good strong platform to run on for 2024. and she said she doesn't think it is because this is about him as much as as you pointed out, katelyn polantz thus mhm this run. and if this is the strategy , look at these attacks on me. this could happen to you like no , like most americans don't engage in hush money payments.

as you were saying, etcetera. it's just it's so much about him this time and not as much about i send who he said he was representing in 2016, which i think creates a tough path for any of his potential rivals. if you are hoping to be the gop nominee, and you're spending all your time carefully, not insulting him or trying to be a version of him without the litigation. he's out there, making the argument stronger than you ever could. and so what's the incentive for that base voter to peel off because that's that is the conundrum for the party going into the primary that core base voter, which is it's a low percentage but a strong percentage. um and meanwhile, independence clearly are turned off, even if they don't think trump should be convicted for something. it's pretty clear that there is said , like some fatigue going on in the electorate, and this isn't going to help it when i said that, what does it the press

conference? um does that supersede or whatever i forget how exactly i said it didn't mean that as a media whether that does it, wipe out all of those images of him and court and you know the pictures of him sitting there in court and the video of him walking. nothing will obliterate the image of a former president under investigation in the united states, it has happened in so many other countries. and now we are here, and i think we would have gotten here no matter what. given how many investigations are ongoing into this president. i also think it's important to think about how they're viewing this politically. i was told yesterday he had actually expressed some interest in having his mug shot taken because they realized how they could benefit from that. notice when caitlin club yeah, but the real one they want. they had expressed interest in that. and as he was speaking last night notice it says text 8802 to trump that on the podium in front of him the lectern in front of him as he's speaking, i mean, they are using this today . they've always raised money for his legal troubles. this

time, it actually has to go to them attorneys but just speak to adjust his anxiety and his actual anger behind this audie. thank you. it's great talking to you see, you don't forget. assignment green jacket. i just want to know masters are teeing off tomorrow. i don't know if that's a hello reference called each other. you didn't get my text. that was the plan. all right? the question, though, about the masters is could it be the last one for five time champion tiger woods? he actually just weighed in on that will tell you what he said. thank you. my question wasnsn't about whether we should joioin them. my most important kitchen tool, my brain choose new areva plus, unlike some others, , area plus is a multitaskeker supportg six key indicators of brain think bigger. ever wonder how much your neighr's house is worth go to own earlycom to search home value estimates and compe your home could be worth

doesn't mean that you don't have the passion about what you love right about your career and about your priorities just changed. and um, perhaps tigers at a point in his life, where his priorities are just changing. right don his priorities have changed. and of course, they changes have been imposed on him as well. his body has betrayed him. there's been, um there's been a lot of psychological warfare going on in his life. he has had a life. you know, people want to compare them and i just did to michael jordan. but the american life you probably most resembles in completely different ways. probably not. michael jordan's michael jackson. because this guy tiger woods has had his whole life unfold under the scrutiny of a camera and as everybody in public life knows the camera can do a lot for you, but it can. it comes with a lot of costs as well. so it has not been an easy life, and it shows up in various ways. you think this is his last? no he won't be his last. and this particular tournament has a special thing where if you're a former winner,

and tiger woods has won this tournament five times, you can play basically forever. and gary player and jack nicholas and others well into their seventies have not older, so they come back, but they're sort of more, and this is a term of the art ceremonial players. there's sort of it's all like it's like old timers day at yankee stadium, but it was only 2009. it was only 2019 where miraculously, he won and that might prove to be his last gasp. and if it was, it was a great way to go out. right tiger woods will always be tiger woods. i mean, and just you know what i mean? yeah thanks, michael. michael. good to see you. thank you. thank you for having me a complete your thought. quickly. we don't want to leave you hanging. no, she said. he's an iconic figure in american life, and he deserves our consideration. i guess is what i'm trying to say. thank you, michael said. there's a lot of hardware in his leg was talking about the injury. cities have car crash and that he's been through the point they made about cameras, right living in front of the cameras that can be

very difficult. so thank you, michael. now our coverage of the former president, indictment continues. we're going to be joined by one of the journalists whose award winning reporting helped trigger the hush money. investigation. i'm terrible a at keeping track k of my expenses, and i hate filling out spreadsheets. rocking money is an all in one finance app that tracks and categorizes your spending helps you create cucusm budgets and alerts. you have anything needs your attention join rocket money today, and they'll take care of it for you. there's different way to treat hiv. it's every oth month, injectable kevin uva for adults who are undetectable cabin, uva is the only complete long acting hiv treatment you can get every other month helps keep me undetectable. it's two injections given by my healthcare. wider every other month. it's one less thing to think about. why traveling hiv pills aren't on my mind. a quick change of my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabin uva. if you're allergic to its ingredients, or if you're taking
