Former President Donald Trump tries to get the criminal case against him in florida thrown out. We have an answer from the judge. What if you could work 32 hours a week and still be paid for 40 . Well, Congress Takes a look at that and we talk about the troubled present and uncertain future of College Football with seventime National Championship Coach Nick Saban. Bret but, first, breaking tonight, haiti is spiraling into chaos. Political turmoil and street violence and there are still, at least, hundreds of Americans Still on the Island Nation as of tonight. So far, it appears the Biden Administrations message to those Americans In Haiti is youre on your own. The president s team says it is not preparing to assist in the evacuation at this point. Correspondent Gillian Turner is at the State Department tonight with the latest. Good evening, gillian. Hi, bret there are potentially as you mentioned Hundreds Of Americans trapped on the ground in haiti tonight as the Country Tea Teeters on the break. State Department Says there are no plans to get them out now or in the future. We are not actively planning for any evacuation. For four years we have been telling americans do not go to haiti. Do not travel there its not safe to do so. Gillian for the third day in a Row State Officials insist they dont know how Many Americans are trapped. Its impossible for us to know for sure there are several hundred americans who have registered to receive more information. As u. S. Marines from Antiterrorist Unit Land in portauprince, the pentagon says they arent there to help americans to escape either. We have installed additional Security Personnel there but thats all they are doing is just securing the embassy. Haitis most notorious gang leaders including jimmy barbecue, a former police officer, are leading the charge. They are now in control of the city. Having shuttered government buildings, roads, and the airport. State Officials Say policies are in place to ensure u. S. Aid does not get diverted to any gang leaders. The Biden Administration may not conduct Rescue Operations but today floridas division of Emergency Management launched a portal of their own to help floridians stranded in haiti. Florida deployed 250 border officials to the coast in preparation for a potential large wave of haitians fleeing to the United States. And you are going to continue to have people who are, you know, who will leave the country and find their way, legally and illegally. Lawmakers on capitol hill today with words of warning for the Biden Administration should they consider allowing them in. Theres no way to be able to vet these people. So we shouldnt be doing this right now. Clearly haiti is in turmoil. But, to exacerbate our issue at our southern border or the illegal immigration crisis. Well, tonight, the senate has actually confirmed a new ambassador to haiti. Its dennis headachen. A welcome development. Military experts are concerned but the potential for what they are calling an afghanistan 2. 0, bret, a scenario in which americans get left behind. Bret . Bret Gillian Turner at the State Department. Thank you. Meantime there are new developments as we mentioned in the classified documents case involving former President Donald Trump. A florida judge held a Hearing Today to consider a motion by the Trump Legal Team to dismiss the charges. She has ruled on that this evening. And is deciding other elements of the case. Correspondent Steve Harrigan is in fort pierce florida tonight with the latest on what is happening there. Good evening, steve. Steve good evening, bret. This is really a case that is changing by the minute. This was a Hearing Today, trump attorneys trying to get this case dismissed. They had two motions to try and dismiss this case. Just moments ago, we heard from judge cannon. She denied one of those motions. So there is still one motion out there hanging. If the judge denies that as well, this case would be go on as scheduled. Its not clear yet whether or not shes going to do that but, throughout the four hours in court today, there was some real skepticism on the part of this judge. She said dismissing this case might be premature. She also said it might be better left to a jury. Throughout the case today, trumps attorneys tried to make the argument that trump is being selectively prosecuted. He did nothing other than president s all the way back to George Washingtonen in hanging on to documents. The prosecution said he hung on to classified Military Documents that were not his property that he knew he was doing wrong. So, really, its a question. One motion denied. A second motion still out there. She denies this, the case will go on. Scheduled to start in may. It could be pushed back though to the summer. Bret, back to you. Bret and, steve, we are tracking all of these different cases. There is also a Development Today in the former president s new york criminal trial. Thats right. Prosecutors agree to give the defense another 30 days. And you really have to have a score card to keep up with everything. One key factor in all four cases and this is time. Time something a key instigator in all of this with a president ial election just 8 months away. Both sides trying to either hurry or run the clock out. Bret . Bret okay, Steve Harrigan in fort pierce, florida. Thanks. President Biden On The Campaign Trail today in the crucial swing state of michigan. Its a place where many propalestinian voters refused to cast ballots for the president in this months primary election there. Youll refer. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris making a stop at an Abortion Clinic today. White house correspondent Jacqui Heinrich has details live from the north lawn. Good evening, jacqui. Good evening, bret. President biden is in michigan today trying to wear down former President Trumps 3 point lead there in a new quinn pap poll while also quieting discontent in his base for refusing to call for a ceasefire in gaza. Do you agree with Chuck Schumer that netanyahu should go . The Biden Administration responding to pressure within the partys base. Meeting with arab and Muslim Leaders in chicago after slapping new sanctions on israeli outposts and settlers in the occupied west bank continuing warnings against operations in rafah with civilians sheltering there. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the highest ranking jewish official in u. S. History, stepping back from israel even further. We should not be forced into a position of unequivocally supporting the actions of an Israeli Government that include bigots who reject the idea of a palestinian state. I believe a new election is the only way to allow for a healthy and open decisionmaking process about the future of israel. Israeli war cabinet minister benny gantz outraged saying citizen also decide its future and leadership. Any external interference on the matter is counter productive and unacceptable. Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mcconnell echoed. It is grotesque and hypocritical for americans Who Hyperventilate about foreign interference in our own democracy to call for the removal of the democratically elected leader of israel. Biden campaign saying this to voters upset with his support of israel. There is no comparison that the threat that donald trump poses to democracy. Vice president pressing that point at an Abortion Clinic in minnesota today. The former president is the architect of a healthcare crisis. Extremists, well theyre not done. Harris visit to the clinic is part of a fivestate swing in her fight for reproductive freedoms tour. Thats a message thats been energizing democrats. She has been highlighting stories of doctors who were criminalized and patients who had to travel to receive care from restrictive states, bret. Bret Jacqui Heinrich live on the north lawn, jacqui, thanks. Stocks were down today as Bond Yield Spike and miss exceptions. The dow lost 138. The s p 500 finished off 15. The nasdaq fell 49. Bret tonight the Biden Administration is reeling from a ruling forcing it to unwind dozens of Border Security projects worth about 2 billion with a b. It is money, some say, should only be spent on a border wall. National correspondent William La Jeunesse takes a look at the situation tonight from los angeles. Good evening, william. Well, bret, we are talking about several projects, agents consider important to Border Security sensors roads and cameras that enhance the existing law caught between the decision and his own words. There will not be another foot of wall constructed on my administration. President biden may be forced to eat those words after a federal judge ruled friday the administration illegally diverted several billion dollars earmarked for the border wall. It cannot be spent for anything other than wall construction. Attorneys involved in the case say congress in the trump years appropriated money specifically for a Barrier System along the southwest border. Upon taking Office President biden canceled the wall, prompting texas and missouri to sue. Do you believe the Border Wall Works . No. Last week, judge drew tipton, a trump appointee, sided with the states ordering the administration to spend the money solely on construction of physical barriers such as additional walls, fencing, buoys, et cetera. Definitely is a victory. Its a rare case Where T The Cot has ordered the administration to do something that will actually be effective in stemming the tide of illegal immigration. President trump built 455 miles of wall. Since then, President Biden used remain wall money for clean up and environmental restoration. Contractors say those funds also paid for projects like this one where crews prepared to install cameras and sensors on the border. Position that the Biden Administration takes is we need to have that discretion, right . To make good faith determinations about how to best effectuate immigration policy. So the Administration Today asked the judge for another week to wind down these projects and see if any can be saved. Contractors down there tell us they have begun Security Equipment and preparing to abandon these work sites in the days ahead as they anticipate no appeal and more funding. Bret . Bret we will follow it. William, thank you. Up next, some lawmakers want you to work less, a 32 hour Workweek Sounds pretty good. Right . Those extra hours off may make things even more expensive. Well explain.

Bret senators from both Political Parties urging leaders to ensure that more visas are made available to afghans who worked alongside u. S. Troops before a crucial pathway to safety closes.

Tiktok cho chao refused to answer questions today about whether the Chinese Government has influence over the popular social media app. This comes as lawmakers mull a ban on the platform. Chao says it does not make sense to sell the app. Why wouldnt you just sell. We look at it. It is not feasible to do whatever the bill thinks it does within the parameters set out in the bill. To divest the company. In this bill go through the details. This would lead to the banning of the app. In the country. Bret chew insist the company has worked on a fire wall to seal off u. S. User data from unauthorized foreign access, namely china. So, how does a 32hour Workweek Sound to you with no decrease in pay . Sounds pretty good, right . Well, if senator Bernie Sanders gets his way it could happen. A Senate Hearing was held today on his proposal. Senior Congressional Correspondent chad pergram is following that on capitol hill tonight. Working hard or hardly working. The left says the 40hour workweek is antigaited. Senator Bernie Sanders pushing for a bill for 32 hours a week. This is not a radical idea. Time is money and finite. When my members look back on their lives, they never say i wish i would have worked more. What they wish for is they wish they had more time. Senator sanders wants ai to reduce work. Experts testify thats unproven and they are leary of the government setting standards. Dont have congress impose this on employers. Or employees. Slighting the workweek could hike business costs. This would be nay palm upon the fire of inflation. Companies may need to hire additional workers to cover that fifth shift. If you cant fill the Productivity Gap by cutting back hours or making some adjustments to your business, you pass on added costs to the consumer. But, firms which slash the workweek claim an extended weekend super charges employees. Workers are much more focused that they are better rested. You arent churning through them. Less work means more leash time. Alicia time. Chris murphy questioned more hours on the job why fewer people attend church these days. 20 fewer than a quarter century ago .

Bret major Storm Dumping heavy wet snow in colorado forcing Flight Cancellations and shutting down a highway connects denver to the colorado ski resorts. The storm began wednesday night and is expected to continue through friday morning. Meantime violent weather hits part of kansas and missouri last night. Some storms brought massive chunks of hail. Listen to this. One expert called it gorilla hail. The National Weather service described it as apple sized. [pomp and circumstances . [. There is some billing changes underway for high school students. The New High School sat precollege exam much different than previous generations endured. Kelly shows us from evansston, illinois. The first group of students sat down for the newly revamped sat just days ago. Not only is the College Entrance exam shorter also now entirely digital. Timers on the testing app. You have time to go forward and go backward. Flag questions for reand change your answers. And the first time test in adaptive format. Subjects split into two sections. First half is the same for everybody but the questions in the second half depend on how students did in the first. Harder questions for those who will well, easier questions for those who did not. I dont know necessarily think its the best model going forward. I think that we need to view it with a skeptic eye. Its raising questions about fairness and leaving some to wonder if the test can still be considered standardized. The College Board is confident in the algorithm and the new format. It can help with just kind of focus and motivation. Majority of u. S. Colleges and universities made the sat optional result of testing issues in the pandemic. Some of the biggest name in Higher Education reversing decisions among them yale, dartmouth, mit and georgetown all requiring scores to be considered for admission. Former perdue president and indiana governor Mitch Daniels was part of the decision to reinstitute the Test Requirement there. We used a combination grade points, nature of the high school, the courses a student took no combination that omitted standardized testing was nearly as predictive or as accurate in telling us which young people could succeed. Daniel says the schools need sat to look at collegability. Some u. S. High schools have been inflating students grades without any regulation. He says some students wont succeed where they are admitted without it. Bret . Bret thank you. We are experiencing a rapid expansion of the power of Big Technology but, unfortunately, were not expanding our power grid at the same pace. Thats leading to warnings of possible Power Shortages in coming years. Correspondent Griff Jenkins has details tonight from ashburn, virginia. Virtually everything we do, scrolling, streaming, swiping and texting, runs through data centers on servers behind the windowless walls of these monstrous buildings. It takes an enormous amount of power to keep them running in parts of the country are struggling to keep up. Demand is going up and our generation sources are going down. So at some point those lines cross and we have a problem when the lights go off. Former Energy Secretary dan says slow construction of Power Sources and the push to convert to green energy could risk temporary Power Outages in places seeing data center growth. In the rise of a. I. Data centers, in particular, is adding pressure to the power shortage. They are enormous. They range in size, obviously, from, you know, roughly 600 megawatts, 700 megawatts up to a gig go watt or 1 or 2 gig go was. To say give you some sense of that scale a gig go watt the size of one nuclear facility. Loudoun county, virginia just 30 miles west of d. C. Now housing 35 of worldwide data centers with the power needed to run them expected to double in the next five years. The chairman of a local group called loudouns future says he is not opposed to the new indusy but worries where its headed. We support data centers but we support them with the appropriate planning in place to make sure they are not going to cause brownouts in the grid and not cause problems down the road. Some activists say enough is enough. The message is pretty clear. Why do you feel no new data centers . Data centers use too much land, too much power, and too much water. Its time to protect our citizens. Data Center Companies say they bring Economic Growth and tax revenue to areas like this while keeping in line with environmental standards. But that didnt stop islamics board last night from rejecting a bid for construction of a new center out of concerns over power sourcing. Bret . Bret Griff Jenkins in our drone crew in virginia. Griff, thanks. Up next we talk to iconic College Football Coach Nick Saban about the big changes in the sport and what he sees for the future.

You have coaches, you have athletic directors, actually asking the common fan to take out their hard earned money and to support the checkives that in turn are paying the players. This isnt about reducing nil opportunities. This is about fairness in college sports. Whoever wants to pay the most money, raise the money money, buy the most players has the most opportunity to win. All the things i believed in for all these years, 50 years of coaching no longer exist in College Athletics. Bret so tonight were going to discuss the major changes effecting one of the nations most popular sports. College football. Players are being legitimately paid in some form for the first time. You have nil. That stands for name, image, likeness. The top valuations in College Football and college sports, there you see bronny james, arch manning at the bottom. This is millions. 4. 9 m. 2. 8 million. Spending estimate for year three of nil, again, name, image, likeness deals, 1. 17 billion. Recently retired seven time National Championship Coach Nick Saban has some serious concerns about where the system is heading. He spoke as you heard there with congressional lawmakers earlier this week. He joins us tonight. Coach saban, thanks for being here. Great to be on. Appreciate you having me, bret. Bret coach, is this the reason, this nil change, that you decided to retire . No, not at all. I just never wanted to he soot program go down and i felt whether it was recruiting or hiring contemporaries and people wanting to know how long are you going to be there when you are 72 years old, it gets harder and harder to promise people you are going to be there for four or five more years. I love coaching. We adapted well to the system. At alabama we were one of the haves in this new Current System. Even though i see some, you know, Serious Problems with the moving forward in the future. Well, so the genie is pretty much out of the bottle here. It seems. Not going back. But, you mention the problems, you talked about that on capitol hill. What do you think the solution is . Well, im for College Athletes. And im for College Athletes having a seat at the table to try to to come up with a solutn for all of this. But, instead of having a collective driven name, image and likeness, i thought a Revenue Sharing with name, image and likeness would be a lot better system. That would be able to continue we would be able to continue to support athletes and athletics in all sports. You know, football and basketball are going to be fine because they are revenue producing. All the nonRevenue Sports have always been funded by the Revenue Sports and we want to continue to be able to do it. So we got to come up with a system that allows us to do that and people giving all this money to collectives can give it back to the Athletic Department or to the university in some way that will be beneficial to creating opportunities for Student Athletes and helping them be successful. Bret so, in other words, either the conference, like the sec or the school itself pays these athletes a flat fee and let them all deal with their nil rights on their own . Yeah, absolutely a guy like brice young who had several national commercials. Those werent they didnt come from a collective. They were because he created a brand for himself which is what name, image and likeness was supposed to be. I think that should still exist, you know, for all players. Not just a pay for play system like we have now for whoever raises the most money in their collective can, you know, pay the most for the players, which is not a level playing field. And i think in any competitive venue you want to have some guidelines that gives everyone an equal opportunity to have a chance to be successful. Bret do you think congress is the answer on nils or do you think the ncaa itself can handle it . No. I think the ncaa could handle it. But i think what Congress Needs to do is we need some National Legislation because now we just have, you know, State Legislation and every state is different. That would protect the ncaa from litigation once we establish guidelines for the future of College Athletics. And but the litigation is what got us to this point right now. So, we have to have some protection from litigation. I dont know if its Antitrust Laws or whatever. Im not verse enough on all of that to really make a recommendation. But, i do know that we need some kind of federal standard and guidelines that allows people to enforce their own rules. Bret you know, you have got all these sport talk guys. They fill a lot of airwaves. Some of them very angry and fired up about what you are saying, saying you personally made a lot of money, coaching in the sport. Youve had former players come out and defend you, one of them ryan kelley posted on x. There are thousands ever former players for him, nick saban, who are better men, husbands, fathers in career field because he cared. He demanded the most on and off the field. Guys respected that standard. The college game needs that develop boys to men. Heres a sportscenter host Scott Van Pelt on the state of recruiting. Take a listen. Its fantastic players get to make money now, but every single coach and every single revenue sport if you are paying attention is saying the same thing. This is the only thing that any recruit is asking about now when they come on visits. Bret so how much money do i get . It changes the whole deal, right . Yeah. Very much so. But, you know, really, you go to college to create value for your future. And i want the quality of life for Student Athletes to be the best it can be and i think they should have a seat at the table and i think they should share in some of the revenue. I think it needs to be, you know, equal across the board so that a school that can afford more cant create an advantage for themselves just because they have more money to spend. But im all for Student Athletes. I want Student Athletes to have the best quality of life. We made a lot of progress in College Athletics in the last few years with the changes we made. Most of those changes are good. Enhanced graduation rate. Enhanced personal development. I think we do a better job of getting guys better athletically to play at the next level than we ever have. Some of those things are being hampered to some degree. You can ask nfl coaches about that in terms of what are you getting now . Are you getting a player thats ready to play at the next level . Whats going to happen to Graduation Rates in the future when people transfer two wore three times because each time you do transfer your chances of graduation diminish a little bit. So, all these things, i think, need to be taken into consideration when we plot a future that is going to be beneficial to the Student Athletes and their wellbeing. But also in the development that they can be more successful in life because they had a Great Colleges experience. You got the nils. You have got the collective stuff. Now you got the National Labor relations board, coach. Certifies a union to represent Dartmouth Basketball players barring a successful appeal. Negotiate a collective Bargaining Agreement that would cover working conditions such as salary practice hours and healthcare benefits. What do you make about unionizing the dartmouth Basketball Team . Well, you know, theres been a lot of businesses that have been successful and worked with unions for many, many years. So, im not antiunion by any stretch of the imagination. But i think this is if you make College Athletes employees, you know, there is some disadvantages to that. They can be taxed on a lot more things on a lot of benefits that they get right now. Like we pay approximately 93,000 per Student Athlete when you take in all the support that they get whether its academic support. Food, all the things that go into their scholarship. So, if they have to pay tax on some of those benefits, thats not going to be very beneficial to them. And i dont think thats something that we want. But you can have revenuesharing in College Athletics without making Student Athletes employees. And i think thats the reason that im so in favor of taking this, you know, route. I mean, if you are a Music Student and you create a new song and you do it in class, the university has, you know, the legal right to the patent but you can collect money for that without being an employee. Whats the difference for a Student Athlete who plays a sport . I just want to replace the collective nil model with a Revenue Sharing nil model for the sports that do create a revenue. But, everybody can still have name, image and likeness opportunities which is, you know, a good thing for Student Athletes. Bret yeah. You seem to have shut the door on returning to College Football. Is the door closed to coaching down the road completely. Hey, im looking for the new chapter in my life. I enjoy coaching for some years. Again, age, this is a young mans game in a lot of ways. And i never wanted to ride the program down and i didnt want my age to be a detriment to the university of alabama. To the Football Program and the chances of it being successful. It was inevitable that i had to retire sometime. So i love the players. I miss the relationships that i have with the players. I hate how this impacted, you know, some of the players and the people in our organization, but im looking forward to, you know, new challenges in my life. Im not ready to quit working. So, you know, we will see how it goes. Bret i talk to a lot of politicians, coach. That sounds like maybe to me. Maybe nfl . Maybe Something Else . Well, you know, im going to work on tv and do some things like that, stay involved in football. I have businesses that i enjoy being a part of. And i got some good partnerships and relationships out there. I still want to be a part of a team. That may not be in coaching but it may be in something. Bret yeah. Many people say College Football needs one commissioner. An overall commissioner, are you interested in that . [laughter] im interested in trying to help College Athletes and College Athletics be successful in the future. Help people be more successful in life because of the College Experience that they have and improve their quality of life in a way that not only benefits them but also allows us to continue to create opportunities for multiple sports that are nonRevenue Sports. And i think thats important that we continue to create those kind of opportunities and the research im visiting with you dont is im very much committed to that. So, how i can do that best, im not sure of. But im certainly committed to trying. Bret we appreciate your time and the very last thing. You grew up in West Virginia. You are good buddies with senator manchin, joe manchin. He decided not to throw his hat in the ring in the president ial race. Do you think he should have. Well, i love joe manchin. He has been a great friend for a long time. I think he is a moderate in the middle. I think a lot of people, you know, support, you know, a lot of his thinking. I certainly agree with a lot of his thoughts on a lot of things. Hes not afraid to speak out on things and try to make change. So i think he has done a good job for the state of West Virginia and i think a lot of people would probably agree with that. Bret if the federal government, the administration and congress was a football team, and you were the coach, what would you be telling them right now . I didnt know you were going to put me on the spot with all these things. [laughter] i just think people need to Work Together and people need do whats best for the country. I think the Current System we have puts a lot of pressure on our politicians to try to get reelected and sometimes doing the right thing and getting reelected might not be the easier thick to manage. So, hopefully, we got a lot of people there that are smart people that are going to do whats best for the United States of america. Bret coach saban, we really appreciate the time and i know i asked you all kinds of things but you answered it all and we appreciate it. Well, i appreciate you and i thank you for having me on tonight and, you know, god bless everybody out there. And we appreciate what you do to try to support College Athletics but we also want to make it successful in the future so thank you. Bret all right, coach. Thanks.

Bret Chuck Schumer with a big floor speech in the senate about israel. A game changer a lot of people are playing. Lets bring in our panel juan williams, katie pavlich. Matthew continetti fellow at the American Enterprise institute. Guys, scrunched your time here but go around the horn on this. Matthew, first to you. Well, first, bret, i think we should add coach saban to the panel next time. He had a lot to say. Bret kind of did. Second of all senator schumers ridiculous remarks speak panic about the situation in michigan but also speaks of the Fantasy World that the Biden Administration is living in. Israeli policies unified behind destruction of hamas. No change in leadership will alter that. And moreover. It wont effect the politics in michigan which they are concerned about losing the Arab American vote there because there are more proisrael voters in michigan and across the country than there are prohamas people. Bret Politico Want For Schumer typically proisrael voice in history to make such comment seems like a green light for any israel critic to say their peace. It is a change. Juan i think this is really an extraordinary moment not only obviously in terms of israel and our relationship with them at the moment, but in terms of american history. As you point out, he is the highest ranking jewish elected official in the country as the Majority Leader in the u. S. Senate and he is to the right of most American Jews when it comes to support of israel. So, he is a staunchest supporter of israel as anyone in the United States congress. I guess you could go back to Joe Lieberman the former senator from connecticut. But, to my mind, what youre seeing here is a clear signal to israel they are our top ally that things have got to change. Bret okay. Katy . Katie well, i think a big disconnect between the ideology of liberal jews in america. Democrats panicking over their base and israeli jews who are united against hamas and taking them out. This did not land well in israel. The current israeli ambassador to the United States Michael Herzog said it was destructive to the common goals of israel and america as alliance. The former israeli ambassador to the u. S. Michael orrin saying it was disrespectful to their democracy and Prettyia Maizing to see Chuck Schumer the Majority Leader of the senate come out and say that a democracy where the Prime Minister is serving a four year term there needs to be new elections when he was democratically elected into that position. Yes, panel thank you for the lightning round. I will give you more time on a nonsaban night, thanks. Bret finally tonight, a special day takes that club up and out a little bit of a hold off fade with a wedge. This could be really good. Lookout. Look out. Rolls it in for the.
