3:00 pm
bile. it started when we tried to get him under a new plan. but they they unexpectedly unraveled their “price lock” guarantee. which has made him, a bit... unruly. you called yourself the “un-carrier”. you sing about “price lock” on those commercials. “the price lock, the price lock...” so, if you could change the price, change the name! it's not a lock, i know a lock. so how can we undo the damage? we could all unsubscribe and switch to xfinity. their connection is unreal. and we could all un-experience this whole session. okay, that's uncalled for. 18005, 3636. call now this is a travel show visit, my fans around the world hi, that kind of propaganda. >> anything and that's what i do is my gif you are in the cnn newsroom. i'm alex marquardt and washington. thank you. so much for joining us. it is the eve of a historic moment in
3:01 pm
american history tomorrow, opening arguments are set to begin in the first where he is facing dozens of charges related to film actress stormy daniels. tonight, trump is lashing out at the judge, again, calling for the gag order to be removed. ahead of a hearing on tuesday. prosecutor said last week that trump had already violated that order seven times already. >> let's get straight to cnn's marshall cohen and joins me here on set. >> so marshall, tomorrow is going to be unprecedented in so many ways. what are you going to be looking out for? >> well, i am not looking to see the judge take that gag quarter away. right. we all know that's not going to happen. that's just trump lashing out. he is allowed to attack the judge. he is allowed to attack the da, but he is not permitted to talk about the other prosecutors, the staff at the court. and importantly, the
3:02 pm
family members of the judge. so he is toeing the line. they're going against the judge saying playing playing within the rules and limitations. but there's that hearing on thursday. on tuesday about the gag order. but before we get to tuesday, of course, is tomorrow with the start of opening states pavements a historic moment, prosecutors will start telling their story to the jury and they have a very compelling story to tell a lot of witnesses lined up over the next few weeks. >> take us through what this is actually going to look like, because we're gonna be getting most of our information from reporters and others who were inside the courtroom, not actually seeing in ourselves that's right it's a very interesting setup. >> this is how many quarts are, some have cameras. we watched all those hearings last month from georgia. no cameras in new york, so we have our team in the courtroom. they can use their laptops and if they can type fast enough, we can get it to air and share it with the american public. look, this is all hello about a hush money payment to stormy daniels, the
3:03 pm
adult film actress back in 2016 to keep her mouth shut to stop her from going public with allegations of an affair with donald trump, which he denies the payment was made through donald trump's than attorney michael cohen. >> he he is a star witness for the prosecution the theory of the case, alex, according to the prosecutor's, is that those payments that were given back to michael cohen through the trump organization, that they were falsified records. they were claimed to be legal expenses when really it was a hush money payment types teddy 2016 election to keep that information away from the voters. >> you mentioned michael cohen. we don't have witness lists yet that has not yet been revealed, but we have a sense of who could be called& these are some big names that many people are familiar with. >> yeah, big cast of characters from back 2016 michael cohen, he's a big one. stormy daniels will tell her side of the
3:04 pm
story. there's also hope hicks, who was a campaign official and a trump confidant back at that time she can give some of the behind the scenes, retelling of how the campaign was reacting to negative you've stories about donald trump's relationships with women at the time. >> there's also david, who was involved with the national enquirer. >> it was that scheme, that agreement that alleged agreement between cohen and trump that prosecutors have put at the centerpiece of this case. they allege that those three men gotten room and in 2015 and agreed that they would make sure that stories like these never saw the light of day prosecutors say that that was election interference because it was interfering with what the voters had a right to know before they went to the polls. >> and that was a journalistic practice. but as you say, it crossed legal lines into campaign law. and violent questions they're all the prosecuting the eyes of the prosecutor's, of course, that remains to be seen, whether the
3:05 pm
jury that has now been chosen agrees with that. marshall cohen we know we will be following it closely. thank you very much. appreciate it republican lawmakers appear to be having a tough time defending trump in the hush money case. instead, summer casting doubt about the justice system soon as manu raju asked several republicans about trump and what he is accused of doing in the case texas what about the character issues here monday, let me listen because i want the character issues of alvin bragg. this is the bragg case, right? yes, it's hard to keep talking about bragg. i'm talking about trump's character shall break. yeah, you want to answer for trump? >> listen it means trump denies the underlying allegations he was thomas paine said that if all men lived as angels, them, we wouldn't need the power of government. >> but if the conduct concern yeah, i mean, you get so much stuff that comes around. >> all that. i kind of don't give it a lot of thought. justice systems in motion. we'll see if it's a fair drop
3:06 pm
let's discuss this with our panel of cnn political commentators, democratic strategist maria cardona and republican strategist alice stewart together they host the podcast hot mics from left to right. >> thank you both so much for being with me this evening. marie, i want to start with you in the past and throughout all of donald trump's legal travails he has kept fundraising. he's been using this on the campaign trail to rally his base as this case gets underway, the first of ben different for donald trump? >> well, not in that he's going to continue to use it to rile up his base and to continue to try to get money from them. but the difference is alex, we are past the republican primary. >> he has his base already and even during the primary, we saw that he was losing anywhere between 11 and 20% of the votes during the republican primary. that is a huge red flag for him going into the general election now that we're in the general, he has got to start playing
3:07 pm
addition and what he's doing, his attitude, his wanting to so get rid of the gag order, his talk about retribution, all of that is focusing on subtraction because he needs to now trying the he needs to be trying to appeal to independent voters everything that he is doing where there's gonna be a split screen of americans saying a criminal defendant on trial and joe biden, the president for reelection on the trail. >> all of that helps for the addition for president biden. >> and we're now seeing it as the poles are shifting and biden's direction right? >> i want to play a clip from the south dakota governor and potential trump vp pick kristi noem earlier she says that she plans to vote for trump, even if he is criminally convicted. in the hush money trial, let's take a listen talking to people across the country. >> they don't even know which trial this is. they're like, i don't remember which one this wasn't about. is this the one they're coming after him for this or this, if donald trump is convicted in this trial, we
3:08 pm
you still support him in november my choice is between joe biden and donald trump every single day of the week? yes, i will support donald trump alex, what do you make of that? >> that's how many republicans feel. look what would certainly much rather have the economy, the border and national security and public safety of the trump leadership, than the biden leadership that is without question. and look, the republican party, there's two subsets, basically, his rabbit base is fully on board with everything he says when he walks into the courtroom and out of the courtroom, this is weaponization of the doj. i'm a victim. this is a witch-hunt. this is prosecutorial misconduct against biden's biggest threat that is what he feels he has a martyr in his supporters believe that then on the rational republicans that realize there's some there, there, there might be some questionable activity, but at the end of the day, they would much rather have his policies over biden's. but my dear friend maria is correct, and the gold now is not the
3:09 pm
republicans for donald trump. it is the pendant voters. and we've seen poll after poll that shows they're keeping an eye on this trial. and it might cause some concern. but if there was a conviction that could be a game changer, the good thing for republicans and donald trump trump's legal issues are far from the top of concern for voters. they're concerned about the economy jobs, the border, as well as public safety. and this, these trials, as much as they talk, we are talking about this a lot in the media. the average person in middle america, i can assure you is not concerned about donald trump's trials. you're concerned about their paycheck and putting food on their table they are also concerned about somebody like donald trump taking away their rights and freedoms, which is why i think you're also seeing the closing of the gap the number shifting and biden's direction because while this all of these trials are going on in this is going to go on for weeks and again, i will say for independent voters, that is not going to be a good image for republicans to serve for independent voters continue to
3:10 pm
see that day after day, you're also seeing the issue of rights and freedoms play out. the abortion issue is going to be top of mind over and over and over again. while donald trump think, thinks he put it aside, he actually let that gasoline hump on fire because of what he said when he talks about he doesn't he's not going he's no longer going to be supporting a federal ban, but we know that if one lands on his desk, he will sign it. he says he supports the states. the states have some of the most egregious foul extremist laws that are doing harm and frankly, causing the deaths of american women all across country. >> i want to ask you about mike johnson and his prospects. if you're whether he can hold onto his job because alice he angered a lot of republicans by bringing forward, particularly this ukraine bill, which he had opposed for so long marjorie taylor greene, rather surprising in the yesterday's say, said she wasn't immediately bringing this motion to vacate forward. she wanted lawmakers to hear from their constituents, but she has called on him to resign. so how
3:11 pm
much of a threat is what johnson did and in terms of allowing those votes yesterday, a threat to his speakership. look, her threat as to congress getting things done. >> she has such up self-serving member. of congress. this is all about her fund raising, her getting attention. she's causing chaos and confusion. the problem is she doesn't have the army to back her up. and the frustrating part of all of this is she talks about putting forth this motion to vacate. she didn't put forth a plan. she has not put forth an alternative if she really had the all do this, she would have done this before this big vote yesterday and put our money where her mouth is and she is certainly not doing this. my hats off to speaker johnson while she's playing real housewives of georgia, throwing up tables he threw this to prayer. he preyed on this. he put this in god's hands and thank goodness in this case, god one here and he's not putting out a fundraising letter like marjorie taylor greene is. >> do you think that the democrats should it come to that, that they should try to rescue him. i mean, this was a rare and remarkable show of
3:12 pm
bipartisanship getting this $95 billion approved for israel, ukraine in the indo-pacific democrats will always do what's in the best interests of the country. and democrats, majority of democrats have always supported money for ukraine because we know that that's in the best interest of our national security. and frankly for the survival of democracy worldwide. the sad part of what is happening. and i get that so many people are giving kudos, even democrats to speaker johnson. >> but that is how low the bar has become for a republican speaker of the house to do his freaking job. >> this could have been done back in october if mike johnson had had the where with on the spine to do it now he's done it six months later while ukraine has lost so much on the battlefield. but yes, thank goodness we are where we are now and with the help of democrats, speaker johnson has finally been able to do his job. democrats will continue to do what's right for the country and in the future, if this means coming to his saving, if marjorie taylor greene does put
3:13 pm
this on the floor we'll see if that occurs again it it speaks to just how low the republican congressional leadership has gone in terms of losing control of their own caucus.& if democrats do have to come to his, to his aide, i don't think it's going to be for free. i think it's gonna be for some kind of power-sharing or something that again, will benefit the country because democrats are always going to do what's in the best interests of america. i think it's important, hats off again to speaker johnson for showing true leadership in the face of potential ouster by the vocal minority in the house. i think this is an opportunity for americans to sit back and say, thank goodness, congress worked on a bipartisan fashion. we sent a strong message to russia to china, to iran, the proxies in any of these other nations that are want to put a threat to democracy. and i think everyone should call their member of congress that voted for this and tell them, thank you. >> we live a couple of moments left, but alice, does that mean that you think there's some fatigue that setting in, in the
3:14 pm
republican caucus over all of this chaos because how johnson's acting is not so different than what kevin carthy didn't yet he was ousted but again, i think when you talk to rational republicans, i know you talked to them all the time. >> they're really, they're tired of the chaos and confusion. they're running for reelection. some of them are trying to help get themselves reelected. and mike johnson is not focused on a few people saying, we're going to kick you out. he is laser-focused on november. he's going to hit the road and raise money for candidates he's hitting a lot of states in the south. that's where all of their focuses are trying to save their own jobs, but also saved the republican majority in the house. alice made a good point, which is they understand that they're up for reelection and if they kept acting the way that they have been acting up until now he's a huge dumpster fire in congress they know that democrats would absolutely take over the house. >> i still think that will happen because americans do not want to see the repeat over and over again. and we still, that could still happen. >> and no doubt they will get a lot of questions on the campaign trail about ukraine
3:15 pm

3:20 pm
blue carbon plus cnn film tonight, 8 midnight amid ongoing protests on campus today, an orthodox rabbi associated with columbia university in new york is warning jewish students at the campus is not safe and they should quote, return home until it is. tension is running high at columbia after several days of pro-palestinian protests and more than 100 arrests by the nyt york governor kathy hochul has tweeted just moments ago saying the first amendment protects the right to protest. but students also have a right to learn in an environment free from harassment or violence at columbia or on any campus threatening jewish students with violence or glorifying the terror of october 7 is anti-semitism. soon as polo sandoval joins us in new york, polo, what is going on today we know it. >> what's interesting, alex, from the governor's office all the way to the white house. what's happening on the columbia campus and certainly getting the attention of elected officials at all
3:21 pm
levels. there are many different elements this is the first of which is really quite obvious over my shoulder here, similar picture. so what we brought you yesterday, this is a pro palace about palestine, a protest that has made its way quite literally to the gates of the columbia it campus. the reason they can't make their way onto the campus is just because access to school remains restricted. the other side though is we do know that there is an encampment that continues to grow inside the campus. it's self peaceful. and at this point, could come to university has not had the need to interject like what we saw play out just a few days ago but meanwhile, they're also growing concerns among jewish students on campus. many of whom, some of them we've actually an opportunity to speak to that, say that they feel that the university has not done enough to make them feel on campus. it's now reached a level where one of those what are the rabbis? it's quite active in the university community associated with colombia's orthodox union, jewish learning initiative that sent a message to about 300 jewish students on campus, recommending that they simply go home until more could be done to make them feel safer in
3:22 pm
a conversation with her colleague, jake tapper. now this rabbis set that this message that he was that he sent out with it's in response to videos of protesters here at columbia calling for violence against choose and scenes that he described as just horrific. so this is really just a little situation. and now at this point, columbia university even allowing students to attend classes remotely, to come tomorrow because of the situation on the ground here, certainly something that authorities are monitoring, watching very closely get again, of course, university is not just here, but throughout the country now, walking that very thin line between ensuring, of course freedom of speech but also safety of students on all sides of this issue on campus alex and polo, we should note that the hillel chapter of columbia says that the city and the campus needs to do more to protect the security of jewish students, but they disagree with that message about going home and saying that they should stay there, polo sandoval certainly
3:23 pm
a tense times up there at columbia. >> thank you very much. before dawn out, but white house correspondent priscilla alvarez for scylla, how is the white house responding to this? >> well, they're condemning any harassment against jewish students and the jewish community, and they've also acknowledged it's a deeply painful moment that's what the white house press secretary told me last week when i asked about the arrest of students following these protests. now, they put out a statement this afternoon. let me read you what it says, quote while every american has the right to peaceful protests, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting jewish students and the jewish community are blatantly anti-semitic, unconscionable and dangerous. they have absolutely no place on any college campus or anywhere in the united states of america. it goes on to say, echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed but against the jewish people since the holocaust is despicable, we condemn these statements in the strongest terms. now i should also note that president biden released the statement only moments ago, marking pass were heat to it says that harassment and calls for violence against jews has no place on college campuses. so clearly the white house monitoring all of this
3:24 pm
very closely. >> yeah, real flashpoints up there at columbia passover set to start tomorrow night per solvers. >> thank you very much. >> still head israel's war cabinet meeting to discuss the hostage situation in gaza. it says prime minister netanyahu says that israel will soon land when he called additional and painful blows on hamas were in tel aviv with the latest in the cnn newsroom, say what so this, the playoffs have great teammates trust each other. >> we're going to do a trust falls stand up, trust what you sent me up doc i've told you use a dummy id you know you

rafael romo at the georgia state capitol in atlanta. this is cnn closed captioning brought to you by mesobook.com if you or a loved one have mesothelial mac will send you a free book to answer questions you may have call now and we'll come to you 808 to one for overnight in lebanon, israeli military officials say they struck a number of what they're calling hezbollah targets, including an observation post& to military structures according to lebanon's
3:29 pm
state-run news agency, israel's military hit four locations these strikes, strikes come shortly after us house passed over $26 billion in aid just yesterday for israel, n humanitarian reasons in gaza. also this evening, israel's war cabinet just finished meeting cnn's jeremy diamond is in tel aviv with what they discussed well, alex and israeli official tells us that the war cabinet met this evening to discuss the situation of those hundred and 33 hostages who remain captive in the gaza strip. but as you know, negotiations have really broken down quite significantly over the course of the last week or two. and so these prime minister in the context of hostile such as now talking more about ramping up the military pressure to secure the freedom of those hostages. saying in a video message this evening before that work cabinet meeting, that israel will land quote, additional and painful blows on hamas, increasing military and political pressure in order to secure the release of those hostages. and so what does that
3:30 pm
military pressure now look like? it appears that it will look like a coming ground offensive of significant military operation in rafah, that southernmost city in gaza, where more than 1 million palestinians are currently living. the israeli military's chief of staff, general herzi halevi, on sunday, approving plans for the continuation of the war in gaza, holding a situational assessment with other top israeli military commanders and the continuation of the war does indeed seem to mean a coming ground offensive in rafah, which was also the subject of that israeli war cabinet meeting. we know that last week the israeli military was set to already begin evacuating rafah. they delayed those plans as they prepared for a military response to that iranian attack last weekend. with that out of the way, now, israeli officials have indicated to me that a rafah ground offensive is indeed in the offing. now, all of this comes as the united states, is of course expressed serious concerns about a potential
3:31 pm
ground operation into rafah. they held meetings last week with israeli officials to discuss that possibility. but over the weekend, the house of representatives passing a significant bill of military aid but for israel, billions of dollars in additional military assistance, obviously, very much welcomed by the israeli government. the israeli military, all of whom express their appreciation to the united states over the weekend. but there's a lot of anger coming from palestinian factions. the palestinian authority has said that this is a dangerous escalation and active aggression against the palestinian people. hamas meanwhile says that this will give the green light to israel to continue its military campaign in gaza. hamas accusing the biden administration of being complicit with the israeli military operations in gaza, as well as what it describes as war crimes jeremy diamond& tel aviv, joining me now is stephen cook. >> he's a senior fellow for middle east and africa studies at the council on foreign relations& an author of the soon to be released book, the
3:32 pm
end of ambition america's past, present, and future in the middle east stephen, thank you so much for joining us this evening. i want let's talk first about israel and iran. it's been almost 72 hours since israel's counter-strike against iran. >> it feels like those drums of war that we've been talking about so much aren't beating as loudly between israel and iran as they, as they have been. >> do you think that each side has? said and done what they want to at this at this time i think the key phrase that you used alex is not beating as loudly certainly the iranians demonstrated that they would not shy away from attacking israel directly, crossing a red line, then the israelis responded demonstrating to the iranians that they could penetrate or running air phase with impunity. >> it does seem that neither side is at this moment interested in another blow but i wouldn't say that this is over between these two countries now that both of these red lines have been
3:33 pm
crossed, as you the leading from your correspondent and israel when it out. >> there's israeli military activity in lebanon anything contrib these two countries back into lobbing missiles and rockets at each other once again in terms of the american role, it was very interesting in the past week. hearing that the us was telling israel to take the win and essentially move on. messaging to the iranians through, through allies that they shouldn't respond to an israeli attack. you wrote recently for a piece in foreign policy after more than a decade in which the american foreign the policy communities sought to de-emphasize, pivot away and retrenched from the middle east, the biden administration proved that washington can be separate from its confused approach. the war in gaza, a source of security in the region. so what do you make of the biden administration's efforts to tamp down this escalation while also continuing to support that warren gaza this has been a recurring theme of the biden administration since october 7 whip it, deployment of
3:34 pm
significant assets from the us navy to the area as well as the khaliullin together, this coalition to help defend israel during iran's attack. a number of weekends ago the effort to continue to help ensure israeli security without escalating the conflict to a region-wide war. i think the administration has generally been successful at doing so through both diplomatic efforts as well as playing this very significant get role in creating what's essentially a regional air defense system now, i want to ask you more a bit more about that because jordan's foreign minister told cnn that israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu, he benefited from the recent escalation between israel and iran, and that is notable, not least because as you note, jordan actually came to israel's aid last weekend in part acted as part of that air defense shield around israel do
3:35 pm
you agree that netanyahu has benefited? >> well, the conversation over the course of the last week has been about israel and iran, not israel's military operations in the gaza strip, which has killed tens of thousands of people& have perhaps irreparably damaged israel's international reputation. so in that sense, taking the spotlight off of the gaza strip is a benefit to the israeli government and the israeli prime minister it also demonstrated that israeli government's efforts to build ties and bridges and the ongoing security dialogue between israel and its arab named bruce jordan, the united arab emirates, saudi arabia certainly paid off. the jordanians and the saudis were public in saying that they did nothing to that they were protecting their own airspace. but the effect was the same. they help to defend israel and israelis and how do you think that this flare up, not to
3:36 pm
downplay it, but this back-and-forth with iran, unprecedented as it is, has affected israel's plans for an offensive in rafah, which the biden menstruation says it has still not seen an acceptable israeli planned for i don't think there was any ever any question that the israelis we're gonna go into rafah. >> i think that the biden administration has done what it can to put a brake on this operation, but i think that there is consensus within the war cabinet. those consensus within the security cabinet. and quite honestly, there's consensus among the israeli public that a major yep operation in rafah to root out what remains are what they believe remains of hamas is necessary and just this, of course, the concern on the part of the united states and others is the terrible toll that this will likely take on civilians in the gaza strip. and that's why there has been the biden administration has said that they wanted to see a plan that they opposed the plant. but i think there was never any question that these rows we're going to do it. the fact that
3:37 pm

3:43 pm
verts former nasa astronaut, and he retired us air force colonel. colonel, thanks so much for joining us. isn't the expectation that this trash is just going to burn up upon re-entry so that it doesn't hurt anyone well, that's the hope and nasa had done analysis on this piece that they thought it would burnout. but if you look at it, i remember seeing it. it's basically the size of an suv. so i remember thinking, wow, that's a pretty big thing. i bet you have parts of it will make it through & a lot of space debris does make it down to earth usually it ends up in the mountains elton zero. usually it's in the ocean. and so this one was just so big and unfortunately, they ended at a house in naples, florida so i think that the common sense, the conventional wisdom was that most of this stuff just does, does burn up. >> are you saying that that is not normally the case? why is that? the best way then of getting rid of this trash to throw it overboard if so much of it gets through well, the
3:44 pm
best way is not. >> and nasa's plan was not to do that, but there was a russian soyuz explosion a few years ago.& that really there was a snowball effect on the schedule. and so this giant battery, like i said, this size of an suv was supposed to come back on one of our cargo ships. and because as schedule got reworked, it was like the odd man out, so they didn't have anything to do with it. so they released it after analyzing, hoping that it would not make it back to earth. and luckily, knock on wood. it didn't hurt anybody, but it did unfortunately go through the roof of that house? >> yeah. they've looked like it could certainly do some damage. when you were on the international space station, did you worry about one of these big pieces of space junk hitting the iss? >> i never worried about the big pieces big pieces are not a problem because we see them coming it was the air force now it's the space force tracks tens of thousands of objects and the really small things didn't worry me because they couldn't do damage when i did my spacewalks. i can see lots of small little craters to wear
3:45 pm
a piece of dust or a flake of paint or something and hit the space station going 17,000 miles an hour. and it made a little mini crater the things i worried about where the mid-size things your iphone or some a golf ball sized thing that was too small to be tracked by ground radars. but big enough to do damage. that's the that's the that's the thing that you worry about. >> if you're nasa or another space program, even a private space program, i imagine it's an all their interests to try to get this stuff cleaned up. essentially. so how do you go about cleaning up 100 million pieces of space trash? >> well, unfortunately, nobody has come up with that solution. if you excuse me, if you could come up with that solution, that would be a pretty good business model. these pieces are going many miles per second they're all going in different directions. it's a tough problem that the what, what we're doing is we're just trying to avoid it. so when i was on the space station as commander in 2015, we actually had to maneuver to avoid some
3:46 pm
debris that the chinese had created. they did a military demonstration, they exploded a satellite and that debris is still causes a space station to maneuver. usually once or twice a year. so military explosions and space are really, really bad idea because that debris will last for years, are sometimes centuries that's high enough the only thing you can really do is track it. and maneuver to avoid it. >> yeah. remember that angered a lot of people in terms of this debris, the trash that fell into that home is there any takeaway from nasa canal? nasa take away anything from that? and they learn from that experience to try to make sure that it doesn't happen again well, i think so. >> i think now they have a data point that battery pack, a suburban size battery pack is not completely safe in theory, you could have little small deorbit engines if you had a really big thing and you didn't have a spacex or cignas
3:47 pm
or another cargo ship to bring it back to earth. >> in theory, if somebody invented it, you could attach a small little engine and it could deorbit it. went into the pacific ocean. that's something that could be invented but i think pardon this cough. >> i think they just have some more information of what makes it back to earth and what doesn't know. well, i had no idea that this could get through the atmosphere and not burn up. so that's another thing to look up in the sky for kernel terry versus thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thank you and i hadn't the cnn newsroom a child's birthday party quickly descending into chaos after a vehicle drives through the building, what we've learned about that incident that's coming up to the world with my music. and now i want to focus what's happening to our planet i'm going to visit coastal communities that have a new ally in the fight against climate change. this is part business, blue carbon we just
