san antonio. frederica. tonight. auburn. >> florida. >> houston. duke. >> it is on only one other time in the history of final four. have all four teams been one seeds? that was in 2008, on the exact same dates, in the exact same place right here in san antonio. now, all these teams, of course, are led by phenomenal star players that we're going to see on the court, but also their head coaches who've helped them navigate this tumultuous season led them all the way to the sport's biggest stage. i caught up with all four of the coaches yesterday and asked them, what's one of their keys for great leadership? listen. >> trust in your. >> players. >> trust in your staff. everybody making sacrifices, you know, for the greater good. understand that when we as a team are successful, you as an individual will benefit far more than if you as an individual successful. the team fails. all these kids cared about all year long. >> is winning. >> i try to. >> lead, you. >> know, from kind. >> of the players perspective. >> and even though obviously i'm the head coach. >> i want them to feel like i'm in it with them. >> and so. >> whether.
10:01 am
>> it's practice, you know. >> or some. >> of our. >> workouts and. >> when we're watching film. >> we always. >> want our. >> staff and team to feel connected. >> and, you know. >> one of. >> our kind of traditions is shooting half court shots the day before the game. and that was an example of that. >> today. >> respect the people you're leading up and make sure they understand that we're we're doing this together. and somewhere along the way, i've learned the importance of being a servant leader. and not a boss. i like working with people and helping them become better at whatever they're doing, and i think that should always be a joint effort. i've learned that in order to ask anybody to do anything, you better be willing to do it yourself. and that's something i've always tried to take pride in. you know, i've tried to use the fact that i'm younger to get out there with our guys when possible. but the end of the day, i don't think you can ask them to do anything you're not willing to do yourself. >> they're out there dunking on them, are you? oh. >> i'm not, i'm not. i can shoot on them, but but not dunk on them. i'm not sure about defense either, but i'll give it i'll give the effort. >> all right.
10:02 am
>> all right. it's almost game time. frederica. tonight you have auburn florida tipping things off. then it's duke houston duking it out all for a chance at the national title game on monday. you can head to cnn.com for our march madness live story for all the updates and analysis. all games long. and frederica, i'm going to give you a sense of the place right now. this is the alamo, texas only unesco world heritage site. the most visited place in landmark in texas. a $550 million enhancement effort going on right now to open in 2027, complete with a 4d theater and 5000 artifacts telling the alamo's full 300 year history. but as you can see right now, it is a hot spot for fans from all across the country who are here in san antonio rooting on their teams to see who's going to make that trip to the national title game on monday. >> it's so exciting. i love the mix of fans right behind you, all right? and i'm so inspired by the fun these coaches are having, i love it. coy wire we'll check back with you from san antonio coming up.
10:03 am
>> thanks, fredricka. >> all right. hello again, everyone. thank you so much for joining me. i'm fredricka whitfield. all right. breaking news right now. large crowds turning out at rallies across the u.s. and in cities around the world. in fact, to protest president trump's dramatic cuts to the u.s. federal government and his new tariffs that have the markets taking a nosedive. organizers of the so-called hands off. protests say they expect today's rallies to be the largest since trump took office. cnn's brian todd is joining us from the nation's capital. hopefully, we get that signal reestablished with him. correspondent ivan rodriguez is at a rally in atlanta. so i think, ivan, we're going to come to you. we'll be able to see you and hear you the best for now. what's going on? >> well, fred, an hour ago when we spoke, people were still gathering inside of piedmont park. and now we're right. at that time when the march is
10:04 am
going to start from here in piedmont park in the heart of downtown atlanta, all the way toward the state capitol. you can see lines of people here. we're pretty much at the end of where the march is, and this just sort of continues all the way forward. an organizer who i spoke with, fred before mentioned how this isn't necessarily about one specific issue. this is about doge that they're protesting the protesting the trump administration immigration policies. a lot of different organizations coming together for one, solidified rally. and again, they said here that about 5000 people signed up for this rally. and i can tell you, i mean, this sort of just continues far beyond what i can see. i want to bring in an organizer here with indivisible atl to give us a little bit more of a background of of why this is important. kimberly, tell us a little bit about what brought you out here, why you think so many people are out here today. >> look at the diversity of this crowd. this is.
10:05 am
>> america. >> and we are stronger because of our diversity. not all of us agree on every little thing in this crowd right here, right now. we're from all different backgrounds. we're from different geography around georgia. many people have moved to georgia from many different places internationally and domestically. and this is about saving what the founders brought for us. and since our leaders aren't doing it, we have to. >> so you mentioned everybody is here for a different reason. what do you think is one of those or that unifying factor that really binds people together here. >> in just a few short weeks, our united states government and all the taxpayer services that we've been paying for our whole lives and our for generations has been completely dismantled. and that's not fair. we didn't vote for that. we need the services. we need our law enforcement. we need our scientific research. we need kids to not die from cancer because they stopped funding at
10:06 am
the nih. we need our grandmothers to be able to eat and pay their rent from their social security that they worked so hard for. it doesn't matter what the issue is, we are united because it's all being taken from us. >> kimberly, thank you. and fred. all of this also happening as a new report found more than 270, 275,000 jobs were laid off, essentially doge related layoffs. that's also a big conversation point we've been hearing here. by the time we get to the state capitol, we're also going to hear various speeches, some from the naacp, the cdc, as well as people within the georgia state legislature. so at this point, we're just going to continue on walking here. >> i mean, that's a pretty significant turnout right there as they make their way to the state capitol. all right. thank you so much, ivan rodriguez. we'll check back with you. all right. let's now go to the nation's capitol. brian todd is there. brian, looks like you got a pretty sizable crowd there, right at the washington monument where you are. >> absolutely, fredricka. the crowd has been very strong and growing for hours now. thousands
10:07 am
and thousands of people here at the foot of the washington monument, you know, they come from everywhere, from seattle to buffalo, new york to new jersey. those are the people we've talked to. some of them have relatives who work for the government. some of them work for the government themselves. all of them worried about the doge layoffs. what's coming next? one of the people i spoke to among the the several members of the u.s. congress who are speaking here today is democratic congressman maxwell frost from the state of florida. i presented him the argument that elon musk and president trump have been making throughout this process, that the government is too bloated, that so many of these agencies are corrupt, inefficient, and simply just, you know, too many people. this is his response to me just a few moments ago. because of what trump. >> has done. >> people's livelihood has been at stake, especially folks who depend on rental assistance. people are in public housing, different. things like that. we have a housing crisis in central florida. >> and. >> across the entire. >> country right now. so it has real local impact. and that's why everybody is here, because. >> they've seen the local
10:08 am
impact. >> it's not just some national. >> talking points. >> people seeing the things. >> they've. >> worked for their whole life. social security. >> is not an entitlement. >> it's something people have earned and fought for. >> and so people. >> are off about it and they want to act. so congressman frost, one of several democratic lawmakers here speaking at this event today, you've got union heads also speaking here. other people. it's going to go on for some time this afternoon. they're billing this as one of the largest kind of organized shows of resistance to what president trump and elon musk and the doge team are doing. they've got this hands off rally system planned for several cities. they want people, get people get out. in 1300 cities inside the united states alone, 1300 cities and small towns. but also they're calling people to come out in cities like london, paris, vancouver, berlin. this is all over the world on this day, fredricka. it is a large show of force here in the nation's capital. got to wait to see what it is like in other cities. >> yeah. incredible. we look forward to seeing all those of

10:15 am
u.s. cnn's mark stuart is in beijing, where chinese leaders are highlighting the u.s. stock market selloff to urge trump to reverse course. >> china's fighting back. even further this. >> time. >> taking to social. media to show its disapproval of. the trump administration tariffs. let me show you the facebook post from a foreign ministry spokesperson. he said. the market has spoken. you can see an image showing the losses of all three major u.s. stock indexes. he went on to call the action by the u.s. unprovoked and unjustified, and urged the u.s. to reverse course and resolve differences. what's also notable here, this post is in english, and facebook is not available to most people here in mainland china, suggesting this is meant for an audience from the west. with additional
10:16 am
chinese tariffs set to go into place next week. this is proving to be a big test for the world's two largest economies. listen to what one economist had to say. >> i think. the response from china to raising the tariffs. is more like using a. >> rifle rather than a cannon. in response. >> to president trump. and like. >> every other political. >> leader. >> president xi has to demonstrate very. >> quickly he's not going to get pushed around by an american president. he has to appeal to the domestic audience to show that he wants to maintain china's sovereignty. and he will not allow americans to push him around. >> and on that point, that raises the question, who will pick up the phone first? chinese leader xi jinping or president trump? mark stuart, cnn, beijing. >> thanks so much, mark. all right. italy's economy minister is calling for de-escalation with president trump's administration after the u.s. announced 20% tariffs on the european union this week. cnn's barbie nadeau is in rome, where the trade war has italian
10:17 am
leaders urging calm and warnings of economic chaos. >> european union stock markets. suffered the worst. >> day since the covid pandemic after the u.s. tariffs were announced. >> financial services. >> and luxury goods were. particularly hard hit. especially those that use. >> supply chains. >> in places like vietnam and pakistan. the european. >> union leadership promises. >> a firm reaction and. retaliation against the u.s. tariffs. >> but not. >> all eu leaders agree with. >> what that looks like. in france, emmanuel macron called the tariffs brutal and unfounded. >> whereas here in italy, where prime minister giorgia meloni. >> enjoys a warm relationship. >> with. >> the president. >> donald trump, the reaction was more muted. >> it is a problem that must be solved, but it's not a catastrophe, as i am hearing these days, which paradoxically worries me more than the fact itself, because we must remember that we are talking about an important market, the u.s. market, which is worth about 10% of our total exports. we will not stop exporting to the united
10:18 am
states. so it is a problem we must solve. but beware of the alarmism i am seeing in these hours. >> alarmism or. >> not, the european union is a single market, so the leaders. >> will have to. >> forge a united front. however they choose to respond. barbie nadeau. >> cnn, rome. >> all right. trump's new round of tariffs are also expected to impact the price americans pay for coffee. most of the coffee we drink is imported from countries which the president just slapped with tariffs ranging from 10 to 46%. cnn's stefano postobon has the details on how colombia's coffee industry is bracing for the impact from this growing trade war. >> colombian coffee farmers. >> are concerned after the. white house imposed a 10%. tariff on. colombian imports. >> most of. >> that include coffee. now here i. am at the warehouse where the colombian coffee federation stores its beans before they are ready to be exported.
10:19 am
>> to. >> the united states. about 40% of these sacks that are just behind my back are destined for. >> the. >> united states. and of course, an import tariff of 10% can create havoc for the many people that depend on. >> coffee here in colombia. >> there are about 500,000 small coffee farmers that are part of the colombian coffee federation. about 3 million people depend on coffee. so an increase of prices because of these tariffs could spell really bad for their bottom line. and that's why many here in colombia are sharing these concerns. now one thing to notice is that the united states cannot just replace imports of coffee. it's not like america can start growing coffee in arizona or california. they will still have to purchase coffee from the traditional exporting countries, such as colombia, which got a 10% tariff, such as brazil, which got a 10% tariff, or
10:20 am
vietnam, we got a 46% tariff. who will pay that extra bill, however, remains to be seen, and that's why there is so much concern here in the global south that those tariffs might impact the bottom line just down here for cnn, this is stefano in bogota. >> i'm feeling anxious. >> i don't know what's. >> going on. don't worry. >> put your. >> feet up. don't panic. >> we can help you cope. >> it's called disassociation. >> it's all. >> on fire. >> did you not find that comforting? >> have i got news for you tonight at nine on cnn? >> cidp is no walk in the park. >> that's true. >> but i. >> take the same. >> it's the first. >> major. >> innovation in cidp treatment in. >> over 30 years. >> it has been proven to significantly. >> reduce the. >> risk of symptoms getting worse. >> and my cidp. >> can be. >> treated with once. >> weekly injections. >> that take about 30. >> to 90s. >> do not use it if you have a

10:25 am
emergencies are also in effect for two different areas of arkansas due to torrential rain for fall river. according to the national weather service. joining me right now on the phone is cnn correspondent michael yoshida, who is live for us in mammoth spring, arkansas. michael, you're near a train. i understand that derailed because of the flooding. >> hey, fred. yeah. >> we're up. >> in the northern arkansas part, right near the. border with missouri. >> and. >> sure, if you guys have the video, but, one. >> of the train tracks. >> heading right into. >> mammoth spring. >> you'll see just the strength and the power of all the water that we've seen. >> coming down over the last 12, 13. >> hours. >> since we've been. >> out and about. >> covering this the. >> amount of. >> rainfall is just. >> it's. >> hard to. >> wrap. >> your head around. >> and then. >> when you see. >> just the power. >> of. >> it as. >> it's moving through. >> that.

10:27 am
but because where you are, everyone there is in the middle of this flash flood emergency what is being instructed of people? is it a stay in place? is it, you know, a a flood water emergency, emergency crews that have been dispatched? i mean, are you able to kind of paint a picture of what people are enduring right there? >> for sure. so we've. >> been. in the mammoth. >> spring area. >> we also were in hardy, arkansas, about 20 minutes away for for most of the morning. and there we saw and heard from officials, the sheriff even talking with me for for that county about how they were doing rescues over throughout the night. they had urged people over the last few days to either evacuate or if you were in higher ground, to just shelter. but obviously this is some historic levels of, of rainfall and, and flooding for hardy the spring river, which is that same body of water that we were talking about with the trade.
10:28 am
derailment. it reached levels that they haven't seen in many, many years. early this morning when we were there, we were talking about, river heights and the 23ft range. put that in perspective. flood stage for that part of the river and for that town is ten feet. you have to go back to 2008 when they last saw something around 22ft. so they exceeded that this morning. and that level flooded main street. the river was well out of its banks, flooding its old historic district, city hall. the police department. so officials urging everyone to evacuate. and if they haven't and they're in high enough ground to just hunker down and not venture out. don't test the roadways. if you see water on the road, obviously turn around. don't drown. we've heard it many times before, but that's really the message from from the sheriff, from the emergency management and everyone else that we've been hearing from, because again, it's they'll try
10:29 am
and get to you, but it's dangerous for them as well. one of the i know officials we spoke with earlier, they lost one of their boats in the hardy area as they were trying to do some of these rescues. thankfully, they're first responders just suffered minor injuries. but but it's dangerous all around, for everyone involved. >> yeah, it's a danger for everyone, including you and your crew. michael yoshida, be careful there in arkansas, and we'll be right back. >> smells amazing. >> oh, my god. >> that is so good. >> should we dig in? >> eva longoria searching for spain. april 27th on cnn. >> mike had a heart attack a year ago, but he still living in the red with a very high risk of another attack. with his risk factors, his recommended ldl-c level should be below 55. are you at risk? learn how to get a free ldl-c test at attack heart

10:36 am
>> for people like laura downing? >> i have huge concerns. >> about the. >> tariffs and all. >> the different ways that prices are going to go up, not. >> just as. related to. >> automobiles and auto parts, et cetera. >> as she. spoke with. >> us, she had just leased a new car. >> with auto parts. going up, i just figured i might as well be in something that's newer, that i'm not going to need a lot of maintenance on. >> the trump administration also plans to put tariffs on car parts by may. >> i don't know how much i can say, but i'm. >> in whatever. >> you'd like. you know, i think the entire thing is it's bad politics. it's not good for anybody. even much further outside of just auto parts. you know, it's it's going to hurt a lot of people. >> and she wasn't the only one thinking tariffs. so that was on your mind when you came in. >> that was the main reason on. >> our mind, really. >> the tariffs. >> everybody's saying. >> that the prices. >> on automobiles are going to go up. we're kind of on fixed income. you know. >> we're retired. >> we're retired. >> we thought we'd better come now. >> yeah, yeah. >> while we still can. >> and we still have our social.

10:38 am
success for american manufacturing. the news is hitting communities hard, especially in those home to major u.s. auto plants. joining us right now, mayor michael taylor of sterling heights, michigan, which is home to four automotive manufacturing plants. so great to see you, mayor. >> thank you. >> for having me. >> so these tariffs just went into effect on thursday. stellantis, which has a plant in your city, announced 900 u.s. worker layoffs. at the same time, stellantis is offering employee discounts to the public to help move car sales. so what are your friends and neighbors saying about these tariffs? are they seeing the same kind of optimism that the trump administration is touting? >> not really. >> i think that there are still plenty of trump supporters who are willing. >> to give him more rope and trust that what he's doing is going to have the effect that he claims it will. but i think more and more people every day are seeing just how dangerous these
10:39 am
tariffs can be to their way of life. and a lot of people in sterling heights are living paycheck to paycheck, and every cost increase and price increase and every headwind for the local economy, it's going to take a toll. so i'm seeing a lot more people saying this might have this might have been too much. >> this was the president on wednesday. take a listen. >> jobs and factories will come roaring back into our country. and you see it happening already. we will supercharge our domestic industrial base. we will pry open foreign markets and break down foreign trade barriers and ultimately, more production at home will mean stronger competition and lower prices for consumers. >> so the president says this will bring more jobs back to the u.s. do you see that happening? is that what you're hearing from your constituents? >> well, i mean, the longer this goes on, i think that there's no other option but to have more manufacturing in the united
10:40 am
states. but i don't think that that's necessarily a benefit. we have strong manufacturing in sterling heights already. we have strong manufacturing in the state of michigan, but i just don't see the the ability to transfer all of the offshoring that we've done back to cities like sterling heights. we'll run out of capacity, and we benefit from having free and open trade with other countries. so i don't see those benefits. and and the reality is, i think residents and people who live in cities like sterling heights benefit from having lower costs for products like groceries. food clothing, shoes, electronics, and they're all going to be pinched by this. >> you know, we've seen the president go back and forth on tariffs before. if these tariffs are maintained for a significant period of time, what kind of impact do you think this is going to have on your city? >> well, i think it could be devastating. you know, i've heard from government relations
10:41 am
folks at the auto companies and, you know, they did announce that there's going to be temporary layoffs for now, but they can't promise how long those temporary layoffs are going to last. and the indication i get is that the longer that these tariffs remain in effect, the deeper the cuts are going to be, the longer that plants are going to be idled or potentially even closed. so it's not a good situation and it's only getting worse. >> u.s. commerce secretary howard lutnick spoke to cnn earlier this week. he, too, is very enthusiastic. listen. >> let donald. >> trump run the. >> global economy. >> he knows what he's doing. >> he's been talking about it for. >> 35 years. >> you got. >> to trust donald trump. >> in the white house. >> that's why they put him there. our markets are going to be up. >> and i understand that it's tough. >> for the global markets. but our market you should be betting on donald trump in the united states market. we are going to do much, much better. >> are you sold on that? >> no. i mean, donald trump has given us ten years of reasons to not believe anything he says. i
10:42 am
mean, he lies about things that are clear right in front of your eyes. so, no, i don't trust donald trump. i won't i don't trust donald trump to run anything, let alone the global economy. and that's not his role. and i don't think that that's what people elected him to do. while certainly they want to see prices come down and they want to see a strong economy this is a grand experiment that he's running and we are all just sort of guinea pigs in his experiment. it's unprecedented. and i certainly, for one, don't trust him. and i know most of the most of the country doesn't trust him either. >> so what kind of comfort, i guess, can you give to your community? community of of auto workers and beyond? >> well, we just tell them we're going to continue providing services. we're going to continue to be one of the safest cities in the country. we're going to continue to do everything we can to support them and be business friendly. but there's unfortunately very limited resources that we have to combat this. this is this is
10:43 am
really an overwhelming onslaught against the average american worker and family. and so we just have to keep getting that message out to our federal legislators and to washington, dc. and hopefully after enough time, they will realize just how disastrous these policies are. >> all right. mayor of sterling heights, michael taylor, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> all right. coming up next, a judge has given the trump administration until monday to bring a man who was mistakenly deported to el salvador back to the u.s. why? the administration is calling it indefensible. >> feeling anxious? >> i don't know what's. >> going on. don't worry. >> put your. >> feet up. don't panic. >> we can help you cope. >> it's called disassociation. >> it's all. >> on fire. >> did you not. >> find that comforting? >> have i got news for you?
