dramatically reduces redness in one minute. look at the difference, eyes brighter and whiter eight hours. it was love at first sight with efi. see for yourself. good afternoon. i'm erica hill. thanks for joining us in the cnn newsroom and i'm bianna golodryga, a major display today of democratic solidarity in china is watching it all right now in the outskirts of los angeles, taiwan's president, sighing wind is meeting with house speaker kevin mccarthy and other bipartisan leaders. it comes as taipei's relations with china steadily crumble and us chinese tensions continually rise over aggressive spying in beijing support for russia. but the u. s. does remain steadfast in its support for the tiny island nation next hour. we do expect, speaker mccarthy and president said to deliver joint statements from the reagan presidential library, and we will bring those to you live, joining us now. cnn's senior international
11:02 am
correspondent, will ripley, who was in taipei and cnn chief white house correspondent phil mattingly, so well, the last time that sigh, of course, met with the house speaker. we know the reaction there. beijing launching extensive military drills in response. what are the concerns today about a similar retaliation? well so far, the taiwanese defense ministry is not detecting a huge uptick in chinese military activity around taiwan. although there was an aircraft carrier group that was apparently heading out towards the western pacific that they're monitoring very closely at this stage. a lot of analysts believe that this will probably not be as severe more responses we saw last august after nancy pelosi took off from taipei and trying to kicked off unprecedented military drills, including firing missiles over taiwan, not to mention simulating the blockade of the island, which would be the first step that china would take, theoretically if there were an actual invasion . of course, it was clearly an attempt to not only intimidate taiwan but warned the united
11:03 am
states that these kinds of high level exchanges are just not acceptable to the communist party leadership because they don't want to see the third in line to the us presidency. the house speaker kevin mccarthy, meeting with taiwan's president, because they don't think that taiwan's democratically elected government by the 24 million people who live here is actually legitimate. the ccp, the communist party thinks that they should be the ones in control this island they've claimed it for more than 70 years. ever since the end of china's civil war, but they've never actually controlled it. but china has a lot to lose. if they actually do, you know, stage these large scale military drills that could further alienate the west. it would distract from xi jinping's meeting on thursday with the french president and the president of the eu commission who are in beijing. and so you know, obviously, china and its military might feel that they have to do something to show, you know, defiance and anger about this visit. but will they go as far as they did? uh less than a year ago? that is the very big and open question right now is fascinating. how all of this is choreographed because
11:04 am
this meeting has been planned for a while, and yet china feels that it has to respond in some way, phil over to you at the white house. the biden administration is urging china not to overreact here. what else does the administration saying you know, the most fascinating will does a great job of laying out the balancing act on the chinese government side. the u. s. is also facing its own balancing act when they've really faced since 1979 when the diplomatic relations between the u. s and taiwan in the u. s. and china basically did a 1 80 to some degree here, the fact that there is a transit or a visit to the united states of italian taiwanese president is not in and of itself some dramatic rarity. it happens. it has happened fairly regularly, however, meeting with the speaker of the house on u. s soil will be the highest ranking official. since the shift in the diplomatic relations that taiwanese president has ever met with. still us officials. biden administration officials have repeatedly over and over throughout the course of more than a week tried to send a very public message to china. that this should not be viewed as any
11:05 am
type of escalation. this should not be viewed as anything different than what they've seen in the past. it's something secretary of state antony blinken repeated today. take a listen beijing should not use the transistors an excuse. two. take any actions to ratchet up tensions. two. further push it. changing the status quo. um and our objective remains the same. to have peace to have stability across the taiwan strait. and guys. this public communications have also been private communications to chinese counterparts, trying to reiterate the same point, but you'll underscored beyond a reality here. the choreography this isn't officially to be called a visit that use of the word transit is very intentional . to make through make clear that in the mind of the u. s officials and the official dome, i guess if you will of what's actually going on here, the taiwanese president is actually going through the united states
11:06 am
not having a visit directed at the united states. i think it's those dynamics when you put it into the full context. of a bilateral relationship between the us and china that has been just at heightened tensions that only seems to be accelerating over the course of the last several weeks that you reach this point where they are at right now and where us officials are watching very closely for that response that they have been urging chinese officials over the course of the last several days not to actually engage it. all right. phil mattingly will ripley. thank you so much for joining us. and for more on this, josh rogan is joining us. he is a columnist for the washington post and the author of chaos under heaven, trump she and the battle for the 21st century, josh. always good to have you on. so as we just heard out from phil, you have the united states in thai play taipei downplaying this visit, calling it a transit stop. is that an effective and value added approach at this point in the relationship between the two. i mean, you know that china is going to react the way that it has and said this is
11:07 am
unacceptable doesn't bring any added value to sort of tiptoe around it. right it's a great question. i think it's clear that both the government and washington anti pay do see some value in not being as provocative as they could be when these types of visits, which are a regular occurrence do happen. that means that size is not making a lot of speeches . she's not giving any press interviews. they call it a transit stop. when everybody knows it's a visit, not a transit stop. the problem is that over the years, the chinese communist party has been less and less willing to understand those gestures and respond in a similar way, and actually, what they've done is they've ramped up their aggressiveness. they have ramped up their coercion of taiwan, and they've taken those concessions as weakness and then used it to escalate and change the status quo. vis a vis china and taiwan's military to military relationship, and this is a huge problem, because if you think about it there that
11:08 am
size in an impossible position she needs to do these visits are important for democracies. they have to talk to each other. they have to talk to people that in all of these countries in order to be a healthy, functioning democratic country. at the same time, they have no interest in provoking outright conflict with china, and that's the balancing act that ties engaged in right now, especially in california. there's also the balancing act that the administration is engaged in right, so to be on his point to phil's point, about the very, very clear use of language, john kirby even earlier today, going out of his way to say, look, this is an uncommon this happens, but also by the way, it's not official wouldn't address weather there were perhaps discussions with the administration with speaker mccarthy pride or prior to heading out to california. but he was very clear josh to say that the administration that members of the administration did make clear to china how they felt about potential overreaction. how is that choreography helping if at all? right well, i think it's
11:09 am
actually, um much better coordination, frankly than it was last year when former house speaker nancy pelosi traveled to taiwan because at that time, the chinese didn't believe that the bite administration didn't want her to go because she was in the same party as them, at least. now. they see that kevin mccarthy as the head of the opposition. it's probably not doing this on behalf of the biden white house at the same time, i think both the administration and the congressional leadership have been very measured in very careful to craft this in a way that they can defended as a as a as a diplomatic gesture that doesn't go too far that doesn't seek to provoke china at the same time, like i said before, it's not clear that the chinese leadership even really cares about that kind of stuff anymore , because as they we've been carefully managing these interactions, they've been escalating. they've been building up missiles. they've been coercing taiwan on a daily basis, and they've been flooding our information space with a lot of propaganda, saying that saying, when is a separatist that she's trying to secure
11:10 am
taiwanese independence that the u. s. is trying to use taiwan to contain china? none of that is true. she's a leader of a democratic country in a sober and sophisticated a strategic one at that, but, uh, right now, what's actually happening is that the chinese government is trying to escalate and we're trying to keep that from happening, and we're failing. and it's not because of anything saying when, or president biden leo mccarthy did, it's because the leaders in beijing want to change the status quo. and uh, coercing pressure taiwan into joining china or possibly reserving the right to attack taiwan sometime in the near future. and on that point, josh you know we've been focused and, of course, rightly so. it is very prudent to focus on a possible military attack from china on taiwan, and that has been the focus and bipartisan focus really in the administration here in in amongst democrats and republicans, but but you write about the threat that's nonmilitary towards taiwan. and that is a campaign of political , economic and psychological aggression that you think and it looks like president say, also
11:11 am
believes could be actually the biggest threat. coming from china and their possible number one option before going to military. can you explain that? well, yeah, that's exactly right. i you know, i think a lot of times in washington we can get caught up in seeing taiwan is just some sort of irritant in the u. s china relationship and not an actual country that has enough functioning, healthy democracy that's under attack. not militarily right now. but in lots and lots of other ways. we're talking about massive political interference. economic coercion, information warfare, cyber warfare. it's not a coincidence that china invited ah, the former taiwanese president from the opposition party to counter program against size trip to the united states, and this is a real threat. but it's a harder one to talk about, because we're not good at dealing with this information and cyber attacks and political interference, and the taiwanese are saying we need to focus more on that and less on the attack because if china can secure control over taiwan without attacking they will, that's what
11:12 am
they're going to try first. and then if that fails, then they reserve the right to just invade and kill a lot of people, which would be horrible, but we can't just focus on one and not the other. we have to focus on them both because they're both threats at the time when these people are facing every day. josh rogan. always great to have you with us. appreciate your expertise and your insight. thanks. thanks, josh. once again scenes of devastation out of the midwest, where tornadoes have ripped through towns like this one in missouri. search and rescue operations are currently underway and we'll take you there, plus former top trump national security officials testifying to a federal grand jury about what the former president was told when it came to seizing voting machines. and the subsequent actions. cnn's exclusive new reporting is next. i can't believe this is how you kids talk to your friendsds. ths is talking. did you have a nice day? look at the sisize of these butterfly shrimp. enormous for shrimp. what she's talking. in

11:17 am
with more on his exclusive reporting. what more did they reveal? through our sources here that several former national security officials, these are top trump administration, national security officials testified behind closed doors to a grand jury in the federal criminal probe related to donald trump and his efforts over from the election. they told the grand jury that the idea of raising or the idea of seizing voting machines and trump himself asking if the department of homeland security the military even had the authority to see his voting machines that that came up repeatedly in these officials had to tell the former president. no the dhs does not have the authority to seize voting machines, but the fact that we are learning that the prosecutors are specifically asking key witnesses. these questions is a rare window into this investigation. there is one of several ongoing criminal probes that trump is facing now one of the top former top officials who has testified is ken cuccinelli, who was the second in command at dhs in the waning days of the trump administration. his boss or then boss, chad wolf also testified
11:18 am
before the grand jury telling, and they both told them something similar that you know they were. i asked if dhs could see his voting machines have had the authority to seize voting machines, and they both said no. now we also know that trump continued to entertain the idea of potentially using federal agencies to seize voting machines all the way up in the immediate run up to january, 6th. but this these new details from our sources about closed door testimony really do give a rare window into what prosecutors are looking at, at least as one part of the investigation into efforts to overturn the election. alright zachary cohen, please keep us posted. thank you. house gop lawmakers are sounding off on the historic indictment of former president donald trump and already discussing plans to investigate manhattan district attorney alvin bragg. cnn chief congressional correspondent manu raju is on the hill. so manu, some lawmakers are calling trump's indictment a political scam and say that brag overstepped here. they were calling him to testify, though before these indictments were unsealed. what more are you hearing now that they have been?
11:19 am
yeah, that's right, and we still are hearing from those same house republican members who are pressing ahead and asking for an investigation into alvin brad calling on him to testify, asking for records. yeah, this came. these requests came before the indictment, news even broke and then i even after the indictment was first leaked to the press, then they pressed forward. they call they sent letters. they had a back and forth with brag, brag, pushed back. but in the aftermath of these charges being unsealed the republican chair german of these committees say they plan to have more discussions later this week about their next steps. that's what james comer house oversight committee chairman said earlier today that he plans to have a discussion with speaker mccarthy about their next steps. well, we're gonna be having a call with mccarthy later this week, jim jordans and myself, and we're going to try to figure out a path moving forward. this is very serious. what's unclear is what exactly they will do. given
11:20 am
that bragg has resisted those calls to testify. they have not said whether they would issue a subpoena even as democrats and others say that they are seeking to obstruct an investigation into the former president and trying to muddy the waters as braga's pursuing these criminal charges. against the former president. now there are some republicans who have not said a whole lot, including senate republican leader mitch mcconnell, who has been silent about this issue so far and refusing to issue a statement as he has been very clear about his public views about trump, especially in the aftermath of january. 6th there was silence from the number two senate republican john thune. but just earlier today, he issued his first statement in the aftermath of his indictment. news very much siding with other republicans, he said. i understand that this is the beginning of illegal process, not the end of one. but after initial review of the details, this indictment looks like a political agenda. run a month. he goes on to say it's become increasingly clear why previous district attorney's happened against prosecution, now the
11:21 am
former district attorney in manhattan, was told to essentially stand down, he says , by federal prosecutors at the time, who are launching their own probe into all of this, which is why those charges were not pursued by side vance, the previous investigator, but nevertheless, republicans, for the most part align attacking this investigation even as members are on recess, and we haven't heard from a lot of other members. of congress who have been gone and all around the country have yet to weigh in. guys we heard from those who republicans who support the former president in those who don't most of them really condemning this indictment from the manhattan d, a. manu raju. thank you. well donald trump's next court appearance is not until december 4th. but his attorney is saying that he doesn't believe the case will make it to trial. so just to remind you here's what will happen next. prosecutors say they will reveal the bulk of discovery evidence over the next 65 days, so that brings us into june. trump's legal team then has until august 8th to file any motions. the prosecution has to
11:22 am
respond by september, 19th. the judge says he will rule on any motions at that december 4th hearing norm eisen, cnn legal analyst was also of course, the house judiciary special counsel in trump's first impeachment trial. good to see you. this is where i almost said this morning. it's afternoon. already time flies when we look at where , where, at in this moment and looking forward, how do you anticipate? let's say trade your hat here, norm eisen. let's say you're working on the former president's legal team. how are you using these next two months , they say they don't think it's going to make it a trial. that's simply about filing that motion. um yes. uh if i were representing, uh, former president trump i would use these months to true. prepare to try the case in the actual court, but also as trump is doing to try it in the court of public opinion, but i wouldn't
11:23 am
do it the way trump is doing it. in terms of the actual court case. we they are now going to get more information about what the proof against donald trump is very likely will seek what we call a bill of particulars more details about the prosecution's exact theory of the case where you have this alleged crime, fake books and records, saying hush money payments were legal fees and it becomes a felony if that was done to cover up a campaign finance violation. well, what is the exact violation? brad talked about it possible tax violation that makes this a felony. what is that violation? so i think they're gonna pro for that. they're going to get discovery get the evidence, but as this is going on the court of public opinion. donald trump should not say some of the terrible and threatening things that he said over the past weeks. you should not attack the judge, but he does need if i were advising
11:24 am
him, i would tell him he needs to keep his base strong. why because more cases are likely coming. perhaps next in georgia , from fani willis, or from the federal special counsel jack smith, hurtling forward on his investigations of the mar-a-lago documents, and of january 6th to ask you about those two in just a moment, but let's let's first address what is being said in public and concerns about what could be said in public. the judge very clear, warning the team to refrain from making statements that are likely to incite violence or civil unrest. it does also raise the question. was a lot of talk about could there be a gag order? prior prior to yesterday. how difficult is it to balance the constitutional protections on free speech, which americans have which the former president has, with the safety of some of the key figures, including the judge, in this case, the white house, even saying they condemned any attack on any judge not commenting specifically on this case, but
11:25 am
making it clear. well, that is a very tough balancing act. that judge marshawn is already commenced upon. he laid out his criteria. um if a statements veer too far into threatening, he also talked about, uh, offending the rule of law. there is a line right and prosecutors brought up the issues. they showed the judge, for example, the very disturbing image that trump put out on social media of swinging a bat at a the man an image of the manhattan d a. d a s head, actually in that picture , so prosecutors set this up for a future battle if donald trump continues to do things like his troops, social posting talking about death and destruction like last night, calling out the judge, the judge's wife, the judge's daughter. give him
11:26 am
enough rope. he'll hang himself . i suspect this is not the last . we've heard of this debate between the first amendment and protecting public safety in this court. i would imagine. that is one thing that we actually can count on. it will not be the last time ambassador and appreciate it as always. thank you. thank you. secretary of state antony blinken has a message for russia release the detained american reporter evan gish, devic immediately this as we get new details on his health in prison, will discuss that up next with a close friend. march 27th is a day that i will never forget. the heroic officers who responded to the nashville school shooting will take us through just what it was like for them on that harrowing day, you'll hear from them in their own words ahead. three i'll be back in an hour. i have to. did you just get your ears pierced?

11:31 am
your own team together with custom gear. get started today at custom inc .com. good morning, everyone we do begin with breaking news this morning. right now. there is a desperate search for survivors underway in missouri after a tornado touched down overnight, killing five people, injuring several others . you can just see the devastation here. some of the destruction that was left behind in the town of glen allen, this is south of st louis. this same system spawned at least 10. tornado reports across the midwest, including seven in illinois. where storms damaged several buildings in the town of kelowna, and that is where we find cnn's adrian brought us first. let's go to meteorologist jennifer gray, who is tracking the dangerous conditions. jennifer, we have seen images like this from large swaths of the country now for the past week or so, where is the system headed next? the system is tracking to the east, so it is going to head across the ohio
11:32 am
valley, mississippi river valley and then eventually make its way to the eastern seaboard. but as it travels to the east, it should start losing a lot of its intensity. we still have tornado watches. in effect. we have some severe thunderstorm warnings. we don't have any tornado warnings at the moment, which is good news and new severe thunderstorm watch has just been issued for portions of ohio. so we're still monitoring these very closely because at any time any of these storms could become severe, we could see enough other tornado warning. so of course definitely something to monitor here is a live look in cincinnati, you can see some dark clouds hanging over but no rain as we speak. we are looking at some lingering showers across a little rock and on into memphis. we do have a severe thunderstorm warning just to the north of memphis. we had 10 tornado reports yesterday with 45 wind reports and 170 hail reports the hell was enormous yesterday. here's a look at some golf ball size hell, we had tennis and base. baseball size hail reported yesterday with the storms, so
11:33 am
definitely producing some damage . here is a look at people cleaning up and that's going to be continuing throughout the next couple of days. this is in missouri, where we had some damage. the main threats today will be a few tornadoes. large, hail, damaging wind, and you can see that area shaded in orange, but anywhere that's highlighted could see severe weather throughout the afternoon and early evening hours. here are the storms as we go forward in time, and you can see just marching their way to the east. they do make it to the northeast really dying out, though, as they do so, so the good news is this storm system will start dying out in the coming hours. so we do have 4 to 6 inches of rain, possibly across eastern portions of texas. so a lot of rainfall with the system as well, guys. absolutely so, adrian, give us a sense, the damage that you're seeing where you are just how significant is it? what are people dealing with right now? you know what the power of this storm is illustrated behind us. just over
11:34 am
my shoulder. you can see where the cash register once was. at least one employee was here. we were saying two employees were here, but i just spoke with the owner about 30 seconds ago, and he says his 43 year old employee was here as well as a customer. they took shelter in the bathroom, which is still standing. you can see the wall was knocked over the roof lifted and jumped over the power lines onto and neighboring building. we are going to walk around and i will show you where that roof landed. the owner of this gas station is actually speaking with some insurance folks right now, we'll tell you more about our conversation with him. but straight ahead. you see where the roof landed on top of this tire shop. i spoke with the owner of the tire shop a short time ago, he says. it's a miracle. he wasn't here and his employees were not here. listen in. i just couldn't. i mean, honestly, i just started crying. i mean, i don'n'n' know what eli
11:35 am

11:39 am
may still need to be replaced this so many window companies out there. what's different about your company? well besides being the full service replacement window division of anderson, where the company people tend to call when they're particular about their home, they don't want just any old windows installer. so your standards for installers are pretty high, right? yeah brian, you can have the best window or door in the world, and if it's not installed correctly, it's gonna fail. so we don't hire these jack of all trades installers that do gutters and siding on the side window. installation teams do our windows year in year out and have done thousands of them anytime a homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement companies get stuck in the blame game. yeah with other companies . if there's an issue, the manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames the manufacturer with us. there's no finger pointing or blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer. is it easy for a homeowner to get a price? very easy. we'll come out to your house will assess your current patio door windows, and then

well, today marks one week since wall street journal reporter evan gersh covic was taken into custody in russia, accused of espionage. secretary of state antony blinken spoke with russian foreign minister sergei lavrov, urging him to immediately release gorshkov itch. blinken says he has no doubt that evan is being wrongfully detained and he expects the formal process to declare just that to be completed soon. that designation would trigger new us government resources to work towards his release. joining me now is pewter sour. he is a friend of gorshkov itches pure, so it's good to talk to you. finally you and i have been messaging each other offline for the past week. um i just want to get your thoughts to what we do know about evans condition which is somewhat hopeful. we know that his lawyers visited him in for the first time yesterday and that a russian prison monitor visited him in his quarantine
11:42 am
cell at lefortovo prison on monday, and according to this monitor, evan has not complained about conditions there. the food appears to comply with standard norms there. he's had chicken. he's had soup. he's had cream of wheat daily walks are allowed, but i think most importantly, it is reported that a spirit it's our high that he was even joking, and that he was reading a book, a famous novel by vasily grossman. what is your reaction when you heard those details about your best friend? ibn and thanks for having me and thanks for, you know, spending attention on this very important story. um you know, the news was such a big relief to me and to his family and his friends because four or five days we did not hear anything about evan. i lost text with him. exactly. we could go in the morning and then if you hours later, he was arrested on the news that he was physically fine. and, more importantly, also mentally in a good state. that sounds like evan, you know, he's a very strong character. um so you
11:43 am
know, that was good news at the same time. you know, in the first place, you should not be in jail so that's where we are at the moment, and it looks like it any day. now the u. s state department will declare him wrongfully detained. the wall street journal evans employer has an in depth piece about lawford's of a prison, a notorious prison in moscow, where famous dissidents and political prisoners high level prisoners, including americans, you have trevor reid spent time there. paul whelan spent time there and this is how they describe it. it's described as a sterile facility engineered to keep inmates. um, ever seeing one another and isolation that makes lefortovo hard to endure. i want to play sound from one of the most famous dissidents, former prisoners there at 1/4 of a baton sharansky, who was held there, the jewish refugee who now is in israel. he was held there in the 19 seventies. here's what he said about the prison. i had this experience when years ago. and the photo
11:44 am
prison means that maybe it's not the most stuff prisons there were old differently, the most sense of it. it's kgb prison, and they'll make sure that you know nothing about what's happening in the world and the world will know nothing. until they want to know. i'm curious because or do you think evan's work in russia and his familiarity with that prison will somehow mentally make him better prepared for what's to come? and the days and weeks he may be forced to spin their versus previous inmates? there's a good question. it's something i've been wondering a lot these last few days even will have covered lefortovo a dozen times during his career, so yeah, i was. i was wondering too same, i think, knowing the system and knowing the prison and the fact that it's meant to try to isolate you and break you mentally. i think that will have prepared like the tiny bit better. but of course, i don't
11:45 am
think anyone can be ready for the for the conditions there are about to face in the four to i mentioned that you and i have spent time talking and i have spent time talking with his other friends and colleagues and what stood out to me aside from what appears to be a wonderful sense of humor, and his passion for journalism is his passion for russia itself. he is the son of soviet immigrants who came to the united states the way i came with my parents, and he had a newfound love for the country and his time there for the culture for the people for the language. can you talk to us about that? as we look at images of the two of you from better days there yeah. ever since i met him five years ago we met at the moscow times is english language newspaper. it was our first job. i could really feel that he had a profound interests and understanding in in russia. he grew up in the states. you know, he was an american kid. but because of his background as you mentioned because of parents, he always had this at
11:46 am
the back of his mind that you know russia. what is it? i'd like to understand it better. i want to report there. so when he got the opportunity he flew took the chance in moscow, you know any quickly became one of the best reporters around, everyone noticed how just how acute is understanding was of the country , and i think he felt it was his duty to tell america and to tell the west you know what is going on in russia, and even he even decided to stay when the war started because he wanted to show how the country was impacted by this awful war, and i was changing. but we are thinking of his parents, especially tonight as jewish families, including his sit down to cover passover and the seder tonight they will be doing it without their son and knowing that their son is in prison, but i know because of you and your friends and of course, we will continue to be covering him until he has finally released. so i do want to thank you for your time and your efforts to get your friend out safely.
