i'm poppy harlow. john berman has the day off. we are now just a couple hours of the supreme court being back to the full strength of a nine hearn bench for the first time in 14 months. right now the widow of justice antonin scalia is on hand for the swearing in, the private swearing in of the man who will replace her husband on the bench of the nation's highest court. our arianne deveaux is here with how this is unfolding. the preeminent scholars on the high court. it is nice to have you both here. walk us through what's going to happen today. >> reporter: poppy, it's been more than a year since scalia's death. neil gorsuch will take two oaths. the first one is the constitutional oath that he'll take. he's probably starting it now at the supreme court. it will be administered by chief justice roberts. the justices and their spouses have been invited to attend and that includes maureen scalia. then the whole party will move down to the white house and there he will take the judicial oath. that's really

. >> i'm poppy harlow. it is the beginning of perhaps the most important week yet for the young trump administration. if you ask the president, the 100-day mark is a ridiculous standard, but that doesn't mean the white house isn't pulling out all the stops with all hands on deck to make it as action-pack-looking as possible. >> all hands, much action, but no real legislation. this first 100 days has been a legislation victory-free zone for this white house, and new polls show the president with the lowest approval numbers of any president at this point in the modern era. i believe what we're going to look at right now is some live pictures of president obama? yes? we have the president and ivanka trump speaking to the international space station right now with peggy whitson, who as of today has been in space more days than any american astronaut ever. listen. >> to join us from orbit aboard the international space station. commander peggy whitson and colonel jack fisher. and peggy whitson has been setting r

i'm poppy harlow. we are less than an hour away from a transition that will have decades of impact on the law of the land. justice neil gorsuch will take his second and final oath to become the junior most justice on the high court. now, gorsuch takes a seat on the bench after a largely partisan fight over his confirmation. his victory was secured by republicans deploying the so-called nuclear option requiring only a simple majority. 51 votes to confirm him. a move that will likely change the senate as we know it forever. ariana begins at the supreme court. this is a very big day. they just wrapped up and we're waiting for photos of that private swearing in and then the next one, ethe public one in th rose garden with the president. >> it has been more than a year since antonin scalia died and now gorsuch is taking the oath. he has taken the constitutional oath. his family was there and his wife held the family bible and his kids were there. all the justices and most of the spouses were there,er includ

let's get to those words first, poppy. as you had pointed out, he called this an aggressive action through his spokesperson. the president of russia regards the u.s. air strikes on syria as an act of aggression against a sovereign state delivered in violation of international law under a far-fetched pretext." that's important. russia still says they do not believe that syrian forces are responsible for the chemical attack. "this move by washington has dealt a serious blow to u.s./russian relations, which were already in a poor state. this will not bring us closer to the goal of combating international terrorism but will instead create a major obstacle in the establishment of an international counterterrorism coalition." translation -- this does not help us fight isis in syria, and i thought -- the russian government saying, look, we thought we were on the same side when it comes to that. there are also the actions. as we've been reporting, they have suspended the air safety agreement. what does that mean? it means there is

>> poppy, like most people in the u.s. i can't confirm or deny anything along those lines. i can generally say it is not like mike pence and donald trump just noticed north korea and all of a sudden, the military is acting with great resolve. in the last eight years, there is no resolve. tell that to osama bin laden or some eight or nine countries in which obama undertook military action. what you are seeing here is a political statement which is we're going to be different and more belacose than the previous administration. that may have tactical capability. it may cause assad to think twice. he now knows he will lose airplanes if he undertakes a chemical attack. in the long run, the chess board has not changed. >> congress member, let me get your take. you sit on the house intel committee. are you focused on a lot. the one thing getting attention is the russian interference in the election and ties with the trump campaign and russia. i know you have a witness list. you decided who you will call. when will the public star

dave, poppy? >> sounds a lot, alex, like south korea and china will play ball a lot more in helping against that. thank you very much from seoul. >>> joining us to discuss all this and the trump doctrine overseas as it unfolds, our national security investigation analyst for reuters and a colonel, former aide to general david petraeus. nice to have you both here. colonel, talk about the capability of this bomb. it is huge. it is massive. choose your adjective. it has never been used in combat before even though president george w. bush and president obama could have used it. what does it effectively do? >> it creates an overpressure can had collapse a tunnel complex, tunnel complexes, destroy mine fields, and kill troops and destroy vehicles and so forth. you know, had we had this weapon, say, back in 2001 at tora bora or 2002, bin laden might never have escaped into pakistan. so using it here against isis in a very fortified area, remote area along the afghan/pakistan border is really an appropri

. >> i'm poppy harlow. this morning democrats in suburban atlanta are lamenting a victory that has slipped away, a seat that has been held by republicans since jimmy carter was in the white house. john ossoff, all that matters is he didn't win. he didn't get a simple majority and therefore no victory. he faces a june runoff against the leading republican karen handel and she'll have the full might behind her. let's go to jason carroll. >> reporter: basically, you have to look at the reality of what happened on the ground. both sides are claiming a victory of sorts here. if you look at what happened with jon ossoff here, basically, he wanted to avoid this runoff election with karen handel, but he was up able to get 50% of the vote. however, he was still able to get 48% of the vote and that's a huge margin for a democrat running in a republican district. he was able to do that in part by making this a referendum on the president. both sides claiming a victory and both sides looking forward to that runoff elec

>> poppy, good morning. let's start by saying the pentagon absolutely behind the notion of a diplomatic solution to this entire situation even as they are behind diplomacy. they are looking at every frame of the parade in pyongyang and looking at a set of large, giant missile canisters that went rolling by. canisters large enough to hold potentially an intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike united states some day if north korea really has such a missi missile. we don't know at this point. that would be bigger than anything they have at this point. they have huge challenges in guidance and targeting. they are displaying this canist canister. maybe their message back to the united states. a suggestion they could have a missile like that some day. s also displaying more intermediate range missiles. could strike south korea. could strike japan. missiles, if they launched those, that the u.s. is committed to defend allies against. as all of this is going on, u.s. intelligence watching minute by minu

>> good morning, poppy and john. it's dale earnhardt jr., poppy.e greatest drivers in nascar history, but it's just been announced the two-time daytona 500 champion will retire at the end of this season. he's 42 years old and he's currently in his 18th season of racing. how popular is this guy? he's been voted by the fans as nascar's most popular driver the past 14 years straight. that's a record. dale jr. missed the second half of last season battling concussion symptoms, saying that he didn't want to have anything to do with racing during that time. junior is scheduled to address the media this afternoon. >>> the warriors, my goodness, advancing to the next round of the playoffs, dominating the blazers. superstar kevin durant back after missing two games with a calf injury. golden state was simply on fire, scored 45 points in the first quarter alone! got so out of hand, guys, the blazers were poking fun at the score on twitter. the blazers! at the end of the first quarter, it said "blazers 22, warriors a lot" in one tweet. then it would go on and

i'm poppy harlow. >> and i'm john berman. right about bolduan," it starts right about now. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com >>> hello, everyone. i'm kate bolduan. just moments from now, the secretary of homeland security expected to talk about the greatest threats facing the united states right now, including america being a prime target for radicalized fighters from syria and iraq. we're going to monitor that and bring you the news when it happens. we're also watching the white house. president trump getting ready to leave for wisconsin. he's pushing his campaign promise to bring back american jobs, and he's also set to sign an executive order the white house is calling buy american, hire american. the order would make it more difficult to hire foreign workers. to make his point, the president will be touring a factory in kenosha, wisconsin. so, while the president tries to make good on a campaign promise, new polls show fewer

>> well, first of all, poppy, they have to get to yes because this has to get done.ing around the country the last ten days or so since the negotiations broke down. and i talked to a lot of conservatives and they say, look, we want the best deal we can get, but republicans have to get this done. so, your question about this issue of pre-existing conditions, you know, is a tough one because you want to protect people who have genuine pre-existing conditions, but also, poppy, you don't want to encourage people not to buy insurance thinking, well, once i get sick, i can just go and sign up for insurance. so, you've got to deal with that balance there. the other big issue that's a sticking point right now, poppy, is this issue of these insurance regulations that require everyone under obamacare to essentially buy the same list of about 30 health services, some of which people want, some don't. do you want contraceptive coverage in your health insurance plan? i as a conservative think everyone should be able to decide for themselves. it shouldn't be required by the govern

. >> i'm poppy harlow. we begin with breaking news this morning, a brand-new interview with syria's president, bashar al assad, the defiant dictator saying his regime did not carry out the chemical attack that killed dozens, including children. he also blamed the united states for defending isis terrorists. >> he says that syria had no involvement in this massacre. he called it a 100% fabrication. >> we don't know whether those dead children were the -- [ inaudible ] were they dead at all? who committed the attack, if there was an attack? what matter -- you have no information at all, nothing at all, not investigated. >> so, you're saying it's a fabrication? >> definitely, 100% fabrication. we don't have arsenal. we're not going to use it. and we have many indications, if you don't have proof, because no one has concrete evidence -- information or evidence. >> 100% fabrication. he says this as sources tell cnn that there is new evidence implicating the government, the syrian regime, in that attack. we've go

poppy? >> hey, ben, this comes on the news that the trump administration no longer has removing assad from power as a priority. this attack, if it was carried out by the assad regime and there's every reason to believe that it was, is just the latest in a string of constant attacks and constant bombings which have claimed the lives of thousands and thousands of civilian, correct? >> yes, you're going back to august 21, 2013, that was an incident in the suburbs of damascus where it's believed hundreds of people were killed in a sarin gas attack which most authorities believe was carried out by the syrian government. that was what put in motion this effort, this agreement between russia, the united states and syria for syria to dispose of all its chemical weapons and we've seen a series of events up to this year in which dozens of people were killed in each event and sometimes sarin gas used and sometimes chlorine gas and sometimes mustard gas and it's not just the syrian regime, it's believed

. >> reporter: poppy, this is very much a work in progress right now. our sources on capitol hill tell us that the latest proposal that has been floated could bring in as many as 18 to 20 conservative votes that weren't there last time around. but they still have to go through the process of putting out legislative language. we're told that could happen today. it could happen tomorrow. also there must be a conference call tomorrow. a lot more house republicans to do. apparently one of the big things causing heart burn is the question of getting rid of the provisions in the affordable care act relating to pre-existing conditions. that apparently causes a big problem, especially for moderates. meanwhile, there is another concern that's about passing some type of a spending bill that would keep the government running past april 28th. the current spending bill exspires on midnight of the 28th. the president of the united states, the congress have to do something or else there could be a partial government shut down. the president was asked to try to priorit

poppy? >> all right, nick robertson for us in italy. let's get right to moscow, because there is breaking news. russian president vladimir putin responding not just to the u.s. action in syria, but seemingly also to the statements made by rex tillerson, michelle kosinski is there. what are you hearing, michelle? >> reporter: john, russia has strongly denounced those u.s. strikes, calling them inadmissible and aggressive. now vladimir putin compares them to the second iraq war. >> translator: that this resembles very much the situation of 2003 and the war in iraq. there was a campaign launched in iraq and it finished with the emergence of isis on the international agreement. >> so a warning to the u.s. look at what the consequences could be. of course, the u.s. saying this was very narrowly targeted. that it wasn't targeting russia. that it meant to not do any that were to people that were in the area, that there was a warning given. that it was really meant to send a message and to try to prevent chemical attacks. but russia sees this a

there is actually a cultural phenomenon in australia, which is a truism that's called the tall poppydrome. in any field of poppies there's always one or two flowers that grow above and they sort of disrupt the beauty of the field, and you chop them off to keep that. in australia, they equate the tall poppy syndrome is that if you are extremely successful, you have a higher burden to be more modest and give back more. sort of a reverse psychology. my family is great. i am very close to my siblings. we always get together for dinner when i am down there, and i have a terrific time. they have all been successful in lots of different ways. one was a standup comic for a while. one has been one of the top judges down there. they have all done different things and have had fulfilling lives. there is no awe, i can assure you that.

i'm poppy harlow. >> and i'm john berman. welcome in to cnn's live coverage of two major prime-time events tonight. the first, donald trump's rally in pennsylvania and there's a 100% cnce you will hear about that victory. the president takes the stage in harris berg in just minutes. we will bring that to you live as it begins. >> in true trump fashion, the rally is going up directly against the biggest night on washington's social calendar, the white house correspondents dinner. donald trump is the first time a president hasn't attended since ronald reagan. >> we are live on the red carpet. we'll bring you highlights throughout the evening. first, we're going live to harris berg pennsylvania. jeff zeleny is there. that is where we'll hear from the president shortly. jeff? >> reporter: good evening john and poppy. it is a different kind of red as in red carpet here. it is red as in republican red. everyone in this arena remembers now donald trump turned pennsylvania red last year. pennsylvania had voted democratic since 1988.

the grounds were disturbed and poppies began to grow. the poppies grew among the killing fields. the poem gained popularity in 1919 after the war in britain and the united states. poppies began to be sold for remembrance to raise funds provided veterans. and you come into the national world war museum and memorial, there is a bridge into the main gallery, under which is a beautiful field of red poppies of flanders field. 9000 blooms, each representing 1000 combatant deaths. very striking for visitors. it is striking how different countries respond. americans are moved by the poem and experience. europeans, and those from the commonwealth, for whom poppies have a deeper resonance, it is striking for them. we tell the story of the sacrifice of those whose lives were lost, and the work we have been doing of memory, of remembering. it is said that history often repeats itself. history never repeats itself, but it often rhymes. our work in this poppy field, and what we do here, is about remembering so we can learn from the past and create a more prosperous future. host: veterans group

as always, congressman, appreciate it. >> any time. >> poppy?>> the president up and tweeting this morning about the media again. so why is he doing this, when there are so many serious situations playing out around the world? we'll get the bottom line, next. we are here...to leave a mark. experience a shift in the natural order. experience amazing. fothere's a seriousy boomers virus out there that's been almost forgotten. it's hepatitis c. one in 30 boomers has hep c, yet most don't even know it. because it can hide in your body for years without symptoms, and it's not tested for in routine blood work. the cdc recommends all baby boomers get tested. if you have hep c, it can be cured. for us it's time to get tested. ask your healthcare provider for the simple blood test. it's the only way to know for sure. >>> the theme of easter is rebirth and renewal. we are seeing very similar behavior from president trump this morning taking to twitter. the fake media as opposed to the real media has gotten worse since the election. every story is badly sla

what's the connection with world war i and the poppy. >> poppy seeds will lay in the ground for as long as 80 years and still be viable. and in the fields of flanders, because of the munitions and one presumes because of death, that those grounds then were disturbed and those poppies began to grow. and so poppies then grew in amongst what is the killing fields. and so then the poem in flanders field was written. it gained popularity in 1990 teen after the war in britain and then soon in the united states poppies began to being sold as for remembrance to raise funds for wound veterans. now, when you come into the national world war i museum and memorial there's a bridge that takes you into the main galleries under which this glass bridge is a beautiful field of red poppies, flanders field. there are 9,000 blooms, we've representing a combatant's death. it's an architectural masterpiece. very striking for visitors. what's interesting is to see how different countries respond to that. americans, they're moved by the poem, they're moved by the experience. europeans or people from the comm c

i'm john berman. >> i'm poppy harlow. it is tax day in america. have you filed?trump administration facing new concerns over a lack of transparency, not just about the president not releasing his tax returns. >> yeah, also on the list of things you will not learn -- who is visiting the white house, who is golfing with the president. and that may just be the beginning. what we do know is that the president is going to wisconsin today. he's trying to turn the focus

dave, poppy? >> alexandra field in seoul, thank you so much for that. it is quite a world stage that this president is facing right now. let's talk about all of it with our panel. retired major general james spider marks, cnn military analyst and advisory board member at academy securities. also bob baer bear is here, our security analyst and former cia operative, and peter bergen joins us, our national security analyst. peter, let's begin with you. you wrote a fascinating opinion piece on this. you obviously spent a tremendous amount of time studying afghanistan in afghanistan. you, of course, interviewed osama bin laden. you write in this new opinion piece, the timing of this, that the war in afghanistan is at a critical point. what message did this send? and will it be effective? >> well, you know, one strike doesn't make a strategy, obviously. but when i say it's a critical point, the taliban now control or contest a third of the afghan population, and that is a development that most americans haven't really noticed because there's been not that muc

john and poppy? >> absolutely, it would completely change precedent going forward for these nominees. sunlen, thank you very much. let's get a closer look at what's ahead this week for these confirmation hearings. ariane de vogue is joining us from washington. we heard from neil gorsuch for some 20 hours just weeks ago. now he'll go to a committee and then full vote. the nuclear option, i think no question it will be used, correct? >> it sounds like that's the way they're going. this committee is going to meet at 10:00. he won't be present, but the members here will deliver remarks. we expect gorsuch to advance out of here at the end of the day, only because, really, there are more republicans than democrats. but the debate today could get a little bit fiery. the republicans, they're going to defend and praise gorsuch, but the democrats have these concerns. first of all, they're still furious about merrick garland never getting a vote. they call this a stolen seat. they also think that gorsuch was re

>> john and poppy, good morning and thank you very much for having me on.fore i go into the 100 days, i'd be remiss if i didn't say congratulations to the administration for helping negotiate the release of these political prisoners from egypt last night. an egyptian american woman as well as her husband, relief workers who were kept for three years. now, with specific regard to the first 100 days, regardless of what folks say about, you know, is it arbitrary, is it not arbitrary, i think this administration has come out very strong right out of the gate. you look at the key messages, the key focus has really been back to this message of economic populism that the president has been talking about for the past 20 years. we see these efforts to go after regulations that are killing businesses, focus on creating jobs. that's really been kind of the main takeaway. we constantly see the ceos and the workers dmoog tcoming into white house. the supreme court win was big and -- >> but is it a ridiculous standard or not? because now the president says it's a ridicul

i'm poppy harlow. >> and i'm john berman. we have breaking news this morning, just in. a news conference any minute now on capitol hill about retired general michael flynn, president trump's very short-lived national security adviser. >> as you'll remember, flynn was forced to resign for misleading the vice president and others about his dealings with russia. now we have word of warnings ignored and a new investigation launched. our manu raju working his sources on the hill joins us with the latest. this is a huge deal. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, three new issues for michael flynn as a result of these records that have been released today by the top democrat on the house oversight committee, elijah cummings. these three issues confirming foreign payments that he received from sources. as a military officer, he was required to get permission -- a former military officer -- he had to get permission from the departments of state and the departments of army to get those payments. allegedly, he did not receive permission for those payments, including for a trip that he

there is actually a cultural phenomenon in australia which i think is a truism, called the tall poppyyndrome. in any field of poppies, there is always one or two flowers that grow above, and they disrupt the beauty of the field, and you chop them off. with tallia, they say copy syndrome, if you are extremely successful, you have a higher burden to be more modest and to give back more. it is reverse psychology. my family is great. i am very close to my siblings. we always get together for dinner. i guess they have been successful in different ways. one was a standup comic for a while. one has been one of the top judges down there. they have all done different things and had fulfilling lives. there is no war. i can assure you of that. it is like, james, your turn to get the barbecue going. david: you are an advocate, a lawyer in australia. he chose to come to business school in the united states. why did you choose not to practice law and to come all the way to the united states, and he you extend -- did you intend to stay here, or did you plan to go back? james: i practiced law for fou
