>> do solemnly swear. >> ronald reagan. >> began his. >> big crusade. against government. >> so help me god. i congratulate. >> you, sir. >> he believed. >> an ever growing federal bureaucracy was stifling the american people. >> thank you. >> culminating in the. >> malaise of the carter years. >> in this present crisis. government is not the solution to our problem. government is the problem. >> reagan's solution, the most radical attempt. to downsize government since the new deal. >> ronald reagan. >> his supporters hope the new fdr of the right. >> he would not waste any time before he even left the capitol. reagan signed an executive order to freeze all hiring in the federal government. conservatives hopes were sky high. but in. >> the end. >> the reagan revolution would fall far short. big government

got even bigger. and many hardcore conservatives once again felt betrayed. i hope you'll join me for this special hour on the conservative movement's long running battle against government. >> tune in to the war on government, a fareed zakaria special tomorrow at 8 p.m. eastern and pacific, right here on cnn. all right. hello again, everyone. thank you so much for joining me this saturday. i'm fredricka whitfield. all right. breaking news. anti-trump protesters taking to the streets across america in large numbers. these are live pictures out of chicago now, just one of many u.s. cities where protesters are turning out with a message for president donald trump and elon musk about cuts to federal programs and workers. their message enough is enough. the so-called hands off protests are also in response to trump's new

tariffs that have the markets shedding trillions of dollars. cnn's brian todd is on the national mall in washington, d.c., where a huge crowd of protesters is gathering. >> fredricka, this is one of the largest and most dynamic shows of resistance to what president trump and elon musk are doing here in washington. this is sponsored by the group moveon.org and by the hands off movement. hands off is the main sponsor of this. they're getting people out all over the country. i'm going to say a little bit more on that in a little bit here. but look at this crowd, thousands upon thousands of people here at the foot of the washington monument. people as far as the eye can see signs as far as the eye can see. they're doing some chanting now, as you hear. you've got speeches going on for most of the morning and afternoon here. going to move over here and talk to congressman don beyer from the state of virginia. democrat representing northern virginia here. congressman beyer, thanks for joining us. what's your main message for coming out here and wanting to be part of this crowd and speaking here? >> it's just so. >> encouraging. and what's been a pretty depressing nine weeks

to have, i don't know, hundreds of thousands of americans show up here. >> and across the country. >> to say, we're not going to take this lying down. we are fighting back. we are going to resist the evils of trump and musk. we're going to take back our country. the president and elon musk argue that what they're doing is needed, that the government is bloated, inefficient, corrupt. they've got to downsize it, and they're fixing the problems. what's your response to that? well, first of all, the corruption is something. >> like the hundreds of billions. >> of dollars of contracts. >> that elon musk has. come on. you always want to make sure that our agencies are lean and mean. but right now, this is a matter of taking money from the american people, closing social security offices, for example, cutting irs agents to give it to the richest americans through tax cuts. >> all right, congressman, thank you for taking the time to talk to us. we appreciate it. good luck. thank you very much. all right, guys, we talked about just how widespread this is. this is not going on just here in washington. the moveon.org and hands off are getting people to come out in cities across the

united states. they want people to come out in 1300 cities and towns across the united states, just inside the united states, but also overseas in places like berlin, london and paris. so this is a sweeping movement, all designed to get people out in a show of force today against what president trump and elon musk are doing here in washington, fredricka. >> all right, brian todd, thank you so much. in the nation's capital. all right. let's turn now to ivan rodriguez, who is covering protests taking place in atlanta. and they are walking to the state capitol. >> fred, as brian was saying there, it really is a sweeping movement. rallies from here in georgia, several cities throughout our state here to alaska, for example. but organizers here for this rally were anticipating about 5000 people to show up. i mean, those estimates might be very fair. we might even have a little bit more than that, to be quite frank. i've never been able to really see the end of this march, but i do want to bring in a group of friends. they came

out here together. tamara here is with me. tamara, what brought you out to the rally today? >> well. >> i would say, because i love this country. >> i love america. i love my children. i love all children. >> i'm a pediatrician. >> and i feel like what this administration particularly is doing and what congress is doing with their lack of doing anything, is bankrupting my children's future in terms of our economy, our environment, and potentially our health is really concerning to me as a physician. >> and you came here with your friend elizabeth. elizabeth, what brought you out here as well? first off, tell me what your sign says, what that means to part of the reason why you might be here. >> well, i have an immunosuppressed child. i'm very concerned about controlling diseases. the cdc has always done a fabulous job. and i don't understand the assault on basic decent health care and science. i don't understand that. and i certainly, until a few weeks ago, had no idea that our democracy was this fragile. and so if congress isn't going to stand up, if the courts are.

i don't know what's going on there. if they're actually have teeth in what they do. it's up to us. this is all we've got. >> and obviously, the importance of the cdc here, where we are in atlanta, the headquarters of the cdc, we've seen a lot of doge related layoffs, a lot of frustration here from the thousands of people who've come out. >> well. and many of us actually know some of the hard working people at the cdc personally. and we know the hours they put in. we know how serious they are about their jobs and that they are paid less than they would be in the private sector because they feel a sense of mission. that's why they're there. and they work their rears off, and it makes no sense to just randomly cut some of them. >> thank you guys so much for taking the time. fred, we're about maybe half a mile still from the state capitol, so still some ways to go by the time we get there. a long list of speakers, including senators in the state legislature, the cdc, as well as the naacp as well. so still a quite the event to go on now. >> all right. we'll keep checking in with you. ivan rodriguez there in atlanta,

thank you so much. all right. now to the growing international fallout from president trump's expanding global trade war. china is now striking back, imposing 34% reciprocal tariffs on imports of all u.s. goods. that move is in retaliation for the taxes trump added, to all chinese goods imported into the 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 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 latza nadeau is in rome, where the trade war has italian leaders using an urging calm and warning 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 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. thanks so much, barbie. trump's new round of tariffs 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 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 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. >> thanks so much stefano. all right. still to come. the tariffs are also posing long term financial problems for some americans. how retirement accounts have taken a hit. and later a big surprise when a family realizes the random person photobombing their photo was not a random person at all. but former president obama.

earlier today, a train trestle collapsed, knocking multiple cars off the rails in mammoth spring near the arkansas missouri border. cnn senior national correspondent ryan young is in ravenden, arkansas with the latest. ryan, what are you seeing? >> good afternoon fred. look, the situation has changed since the last time we joined you. if you walk this direction, you can see the state trooper that's been placed here. this is highway 63. this is the way in northern arkansas. you move east to west, and right now this is shut down. in fact, there's a good chance that we might even be trapped on a certain section of ravenswood in arkansas because of how fast the water is moving up. the way we came in, the highway was used. they are now flooded over, and you can see how much that water has covered that bridge at this point. this storm has been dangerous for many people across america. in fact, there are nine confirmed deaths right now. the rain is steady. we are actually standing in the flash flood warning area right now. we've

been talking to firefighters and emergency crews about how they're trying to keep everyone safe. now there are low lying areas. they gave those folks a call to heads up that they wanted them to heed the warnings to get out of this, because you can see how the lakes and rivers here have started to spill across the banks, and that's what they've been concerned about for quite some time. there have been some rescues with boats and other areas. we were trying to make our way to hardy, which is just down this road. there is no way for us to make it down this way. so state troopers, firefighters and emergency personnel throughout the area are here. the rain has been heavy. the lightning has been even stronger. and this is just getting more worse as the situation continues to grow. we're going to be looking at this as we try to drive out of here, but this is a situation that a lot of residents have been dealing with for several days. fred. >> all right, ryan young, be careful there in arkansas. thank you. and we'll be right back. >> my happy place. one place i could truly be myself. i want

trump's trade war. investors are essentially pricing in right now. the worst case scenario because they're not hearing any negotiation from the president with other countries to deescalate this trade war. one analyst, dan ives from wedbush, said it best really on social media, kind of summing up what he feels like is going on. he said essentially that this is the worst thing he's seen in 25 years covering markets. he pointed to the.com bubble, the financial crisis and covid because he says that this is self-inflicted and that this did not need to happen. investors were digesting all of the tariffs that president trump announced on other countries, and they were bracing for retaliatory tariffs. and they got one from one of our biggest trading partners, china, a 34% tariff announced by china on u.s. exports and ultimately, even a solid jobs report could not turn the tide of the markets. one investor i spoke to

said that consumers vote. this is how wall street votes, and this is not a good vote of confidence. president trump hopes that the markets will stabilize or return to some sense of normalcy. but that's not what i'm hearing from investors. they believe that the only way markets are really going to stabilize is if trump repeals some of these tariffs. i spoke to one analyst just before coming on air and asked him, what is the next month look like? and he says that if we do not get a de-escalation or repeal of tariffs by the president, then we are. and i can't actually say what he said to me, but he used an expletive. we are expletive. so investors really thinking that this is going to go on for quite some time. >> all right. vanessa yurkevich thank you so much. all right. the nonpartisan tax foundation says the average american household will pay around $2,100 a year more for goods as trump's tariffs take effect. and that has some forecasters

predicting a possible recession, though federal reserve chairman jerome powell said friday it's still too early to say. >> we don't make a probability forecast of how likely it is for there to be a recession, but many outside forecasters do, and many of them have raised the likelihood, albeit from very low levels. it's not it's not it's not something that that anybody now is forecasting or some people are starting to. so i can't there's not much more i can say about that. i realize that the uncertainty is high. and you know, what we've learned is that the tariffs are higher than anticipated, higher than almost all forecasters predicted. we're just we still don't know where that comes to rest, though. and we're just going to have to see that through. >> joining us now with tips on how to navigate all of this. personal finance columnist terry savage. her book the savage truth on money. it's out right now. congratulations on your book. and so glad you could be with us, terry. >> thanks, fredricka.

>> all right, so you say. fasten your financial seat belt. meaning don't spend. instead, save or brace yourself for more losses or expenses. what? >> well. >> you. >> know, i'm. >> not just guessing about this. the stock market. >> as we. >> just reported, is. >> where. >> money puts its mouth. and it is shouting. >> very loudly that there's going to be a huge impact on american business, on american consumers and american jobs because of all these price increases and supply chain dislocations. it would be silly. if the stock market doesn't vote democrat or republican, but republican. both were selling over the last few days, and it's probably not over yet. >> let me. >> just say this from a long history of with the stock market, we were down about 12% on the standard and poor's 500, the big index. but in 2000 the.com bubble burst. the market was down 49%. the s&p in 2007,

2008 58%. so you can tell that this pain is going to be probably widespread unless something of course changes quickly. >> do you anticipate that people need to be bracing themselves for that kind of a drop, a repeat on those kinds of drops? again? >> well, i think that's entirely possible. you're looking at the obvious things. you've done a great job all afternoon of reporting on everything from coffee or if you're drinking beer from mexico, or forget having guacamole with your domestic beer because the avocados come from there. they'll be all dislocations. it's not just lululemon and nike. it's or your apple watch. so people are going to have to make decisions. but as as people make these decisions not to spend, then you are in effect helping slow the economy. but it's your job to look out for your personal finances, your family finances first. and this is a moment where i know some

people are thinking, okay, i'm going to go out and stock up on coffee or, or beer or whatever it might be. but it would be a big mistake now to get yourself into debt, as so many americans are. it's a good time to look at your spending and think, you know, am i going to do doordash? are we going out to dinner? you know, maybe build up your savings now. because what we haven't had a real painful recession. the pandemic was frightening, but it was short. the last time we had a big jobs recession was 2007, 2009. the financial crisis where we had high unemployment and one or even two family members lost jobs. we've got a whole generation. think about that. that's over 15 years ago that haven't seen the pain of what happens when a lot of people are out of work, which could also happen now. i mean, all the people that deliver those packages that you order on amazon that come from sheen or temu and they're wrapped in that great plastic. every one of those, you know, those packages

got in tariff free. now they will each have a $25 tariff on them. so not only will the cheap stuff not be there, the dollar stores are going to be the $10 store. but the drivers that deliver those things will be out of jobs. and that's how this thing could spiral. and so for you, number one, look at your spending. this is the moment. i mean, what's really necessary. number two gosh, look at your debt. if you're paying 20, 23, 25% interest on credit card debt and you lose your job, you're very. i don't know if we could put up the toll free number for the national foundation for credit counseling, the nonprofit national and fcc. it's 800. >> there it is. >> it's 803 882227. that connects you with the local office. don't fall for the credit repair ripoffs. but this is the time to get help to get your house in order. so if the slowdown does last for a while, you can make your way through

it. >> these are really great tips. it's so important. so prioritizing. you know, you just this is a time where you have to decide, do i really need this right now? can we hold off? and that whole cutting down on your debt is so, so big. so now there's another, you know, community of people who are very concerned, particularly those who are close to retirement or in retirement, people who have been planning for their retirement, they're looking at their 401 s, or maybe they're afraid to look at the 401 s right now. for those who really are fortunate enough to have a 401(k), right, because not everybody has that. but you know, what's the breakdown now for people say your 20s and your 3030s and you have a 401(k), you've got time to plan. but the people who are over 50 who are getting close, they're kind of really worried. and then what about the people who are retired, who are living on their annuities so quickly? what's the advice on those brackets of people? >> let me say this. we've had some scary bear markets. and by the way, every time america survives and moves on to better

things, it's not a political statement, it's just a historic fact. so if you're young, in your 20s and 30s and they're taking that $250 out of your paycheck and putting it in the stock market mutual fund, you keep doing that. i mean, we all have to bet on the future of america. if you're in the 401(k) plan and you're getting closer to retirement now, i mean, like monday is a time or over the weekend if you're online, move to the more conservative investment choices. and for retirees, i've been writing all my columns are up at terry savage.com. i've been preparing people for this for the last few months. you need to have what i call chicken money. that's money you cannot afford to lose. and it goes in a money market account or a short term treasury bill, or a savings account. if the market does go down further and i have no crystal ball, you'll be glad you set some money aside. you can earn 4% in short term government t-bills these days. so you can sleep at night. retire. retirement is no time to speculate because you're not making any more money. so it's

one of. them is that each of these four head coaches will get the opportunity to win their first ever final national. championship as a head coach. and to add some spice to it in that first game, we'll see. >> tonight. >> you have auburn's head coach. >> bruce pearl facing off against. >> florida's head coach todd golden. well, coach golden was under pearl's tutelage at auburn. so you have this crazy dynamic tonight. are they friends or are they foes? we asked both of them yesterday. about their relationship heading into tonight's. >> big matchup. >> listen. >> it's almost like having two coaches from our staff being the. >> final four, even though we're going up against florida. >> you know, the fact. >> that i. coached todd as a player in. >> israel for. >> the maccabi games. and when i got the auburn job, i asked my son to come with me, and i asked todd golden to come with me because i trusted them and they and it's no shock to me. he is one of the very best young coaches in all of the country. >> it's a. full circle moment. you know, for me, i had the opportunity to work with them over ten years ago. you know, was at the ground floor of auburn's program in the renaissance. being a small part of that build back. and now i'm

leading my own program, competing against these guys tomorrow night. it's surreal. and i'm just really happy that one of us is going to be competing for national championship on monday night. >> all right. the other two teams competing for. >> that national. >> championship monday night, you'll have houston's head coach, kelvin sampson. this is his. >> fourth trip to the final four. and he's facing off against duke's jon scheyer, his fourth trip as well. but once as a player, twice as an assistant, his first as a head coach. we asked both of them, a lot of fans out here maybe not have any team in this race tonight, so why should they pick your team to win it all? here's what they had to say. >> we're in. the state of texas. we're the. first team from this state to participate. >> in the final. >> four in the state of texas. so we got a lot of great schools in this state. and and this is one week we can all come together and go cougs. >> my pitch would be. the fact that we've done this differently, you know, the way these guys have come together. not many teams are playing young players. we start three

freshmen, five in our main rotation. the fact that they're none of them are about themselves. i think it's a group that's likable and easy to root for. but we'll see, we'll see. we'll see if that pitch did anything. >> one of those freshman that coach was talking about is cooper flagg, arguably arguably the best player in the entire country. he will be the number one pick in the next nba draft, and he was pitching his case. duke is the overwhelming favorite to win it all, and there are some fans out here who might not want duke to win it all. we shall see. you have those games tipping off tonight. you can follow all the updates and analysis during the game on our march madness live story. that's at cnn.com. so it'll be a fun night here in san antonio as they all duke it out to try to make their trip to the national title game. >> oh. >> so exciting. okay, so you got you've got players in the mix. you've got a lot of fans back there in the mix. and i also understand that there have been a few ghosts here and there. huh. >> okay, so when i found out

where we were going to stay, i looked up this hotel, the emily morgan. as a matter of fact, we can see it. okay. and the first thing that pops up in google is haunted. this is 1924. it opened as a hospital. there are gargoyles on the outside. there is a surgical floor. at one time, a psych ward floor at one time. and in the basement was the morgue. and i have been talking, doing some investigative reporting to folks that work at the hotel. and unfortunately for me, in all of my coworkers here they do say some of these stories may be true because they hear about them or have experienced them themselves. >> oh my gosh. okay, that's a little creepy. and something tells me, i mean, a lot of people made those discoveries, you know, like guests made those discoveries or learned about it once. they've already, you know, checked in. and because you've got all this madness. good luck on trying to get another hotel. >> room. yeah. >> that's right. and you know what? i wouldn't want to. it is a fabulous hotel and everyone working there is outstanding. all of the living are incredibly

photo bomb? in between the bursts of pink and white blossoms and preschooler belle preston and her one year old brother, thomas? yep. in the background, that's a real photo of this family photo. former president barack obama just kind of casually strolling through the frame as the family photographer snapped shots of the kiddos there. the kids, kind of oblivious to this incredible moment. as for the parents, well, it took a minute to grasp what was actually happening. >> so once they. finished the shoot, i picked him up and i was like, what did you say? >> and he. >> was like, that's president obama. and i was like. >> oh my god. >> joining us right now, the photographer behind that photo. brianna, and now. oh, brianna, congratulations. oh my gosh. i mean, this was something you couldn't even plan. and here you do a lot of these photo shoots on the, you know, along

the tidal basin all the time. you know, you're trying to coordinate how to deal with the kids and how to deal with the unexpected. and then this happened. so what made you keep shooting? even you didn't know it was really him right away, right? >> no, not at all. >> i did not i probably would not have realized that until, like they told me or they showed me like we confirmed with, like, the secret service after we saw them walking past, we're like, who was that? we're like, was that obama? and they're like, yeah. and we were just freaking out. >> really? okay, so tell me about that freaking out moment. you know, you said, yeah, who was that? and they said that was president obama. and then you did you start, like, checking your frames to see if you got the shots or what happened? >> my client, portia, was like did we actually capture him on camera? like. and so i was like,

i was for sure, like, we couldn't have. and i went back and rolled back on the pictures, and i found, obama in a couple frames. >> oh my gosh. and so did you think at this moment, like, okay, wait a minute, you know, what frame are they going to choose? or do they want me to do this over? i mean, you know, as as the photographer who captured an incredible moment at the same time, it's not exactly what anybody had planned for. >> no, not at all. we were kind of like, how do we even continue the shoot now? like, what do we. are we going to take a better picture? than that? and we already had so did you. >> do did you all continue shooting more to see if you could get just the kids and without a president? or were you just satisfied with. we got the shots. >> so i have like certain because i do it so many of these for like the past ten years.

like, i make sure i get, like, all of the particular shots for each client. and so we had like 1 or 2 more poses in areas in the tidal basin. and then we were done. but yeah, it was pretty hard. we were just like, still in shock and in awe. >> so in the end, is there one favorite shot or do you just do like a, a framing a sequence of all six shots? because i understand you had six shots with obama in it, right? >> yeah. there are a couple. so i mean, they could have. i just sent them all to portia. the day of her session because we were just shocked and excited and we're like, oh my gosh, like, look at this. okay. >> so i don't know what's better that you actually got the shots or that the former president actually shared your photo. at least one of your photos on instagram saying preston and belle. i hope you enjoyed peak bloom. my bad for stepping into

the shot. i mean, that's pretty killer. >> i never in my wildest dreams would i have imagined president obama reposting one of my pictures. >> so, brianna, you're. >> already pretty popular. people you know, want, want and covet your your shots. but now what has this done for your business? >> we shall see. i don't even know if people know it's me, like my regular clients, unless they see it. see the news? a couple people have reached out because they've seen the news, and i'm just. i have a lot of emails to go through. >> you do? indeed. well, they're beautiful pictures. congratulations, brianna. i don't think anybody's seen better. cherry blossom at the tidal basin of photos. nothing better than this, brianna. i know, congrats. thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you. >> and thank you, everybody, for
