work, renee, thank you. and thanks for joining us. the news continues right here on cnn it's tuesday, april 9, right now on cnn this >> morning, an appeals court denied donald trump's latest just attempts to delay the start of his hush money trial israel's prime minister claiming the date is set for the invasion of rafah. it's benjamin netanyahu bluffing. >> and two in a row for uconn, the huskies taking home another men's ncaa doublet title all. right. >> 5:00 a.m. here in washington, here's a live look at downtown nash bill. we've got some news. there from morgan wallen. >> i prayed news >> honestly. it's a pretty shot early early on this tuesday morning. good morning, everyone. >> i'm casey haunts it's wonderful >> to have you with us this morning. special counsel, jack smith is urging the us supreme court to reject former president trump's claims of immunity and to deny the former president any opportunity to delay his federal election subversion trial smith told the court in a filing, the framers never endorsed criminal immunity for a former president and all presidents from the founding to the modern era have known that after leaving office, they faced potential criminal liability for official acts meanwhile, a new york state appeals court denying donald trump's latest attempt to delay his criminal hush, money trial. the former president petition the court to postpone the trial, claiming that a change of venue was needed because he couldn't get a fair trial in new york. >> that has been shot >> down for now. trump's legal team also filed a petition objecting the gag order imposed by judge juan merchan arguments on that are expected today and jury selection is set to begin on monday. joining me now is michelle price, national political reporter for the associated press. michelle, good morning. thank you so much for being here so let's start there with jury selection coming up here. for in the hush money trial on monday, we expect they keep attempting to try to delay this, but it does seem at this point like we are going to see the first former president united states, actually go on trial here. >> what do >> we know about how that's going to play out? >> we did again, this we've seen president trump in court. if you'd for president trump in quite a few times we've got to remember how a momentous this will be on monday. >> he >> will be on criminal trial. this will still be very unprecedented >> as far as jury >> selection by president for president trump's lawyers have argued that he can't get a fair shake in manhattan. that the city would be biased against him and the prosecutors here argued that the publicity in this case is all been at donald trump's own postings and attention. he is ginned up for this trial >> the folks >> who they're hoping to find a seat. this jury that they're going to be asked to basically set aside their views and just judge on the facts of the case. >> and >> the district attorney's offices, they have data shows when people say they're willing to set that aside and that they can impartially, judge this case. >> yeah. it's a tricky reality when donald trump is a former president who is also so ubiquitous in new york culture. we've got to look yesterday at the jury selection questionnaire. it was put out by the courts and some of the questions that they're asking what kind of media do you read? where do you get your news? that list of some of the papers and this organization is on that list. they're asked whether anyone's ever worked for trump company, whether they've ever been to a trump rally, whether they've ever supported q. and on the proud boys or antifungals there's also a fun one that asks whether they've ever listened to michael cohen's podcast or the podcast from new york prosecutor >> what do these >> questions tell you about what they're looking for and it looks like they're >> looking for political activity here or political information that is coming into these jurors. but also misinformation and some of those are sources of missing cue in on is a conspiracy theory. if you're getting your information from random internet posters who said they have a secret theory of everything. there may be a question about whether you could be an impartial juror in this case, about what the government is presenting to you. >> let's talk for a second about the supreme court and immunity. let's just remind everyone what donald trump said earlier this year about why he believes immunity is required. watch this do you have to have a guaranteed immunity for president otherwise, the president is not going to be able to function they're not gonna move. harry truman would not have done harry truman would not have done hiroshima and nagasaki you know, you have to allow a president to do his job. they'll make decisions >> so the special counsel, jack smith, directly disagrees. he writes, quote, the effective functioning of the presidency does not require that a former president be immune from accountability for these alleged violations of federal criminal law. to the contrary, a bedrock principle of our constitutional order is that no person is above the law including the president. >> at >> what are the stakes here >> i mean, this this is all these cases that he's facing. this is everything underpinning these cases and it's also just a fundamental question. mission as special prosecutor jack smith lays out there about america that no one is above the law. this is kind of a given in our political system and this would be really tested with the supreme court when it takes up these arguments two weeks. >> what are you looking for from the court because again, we're going to hear these arguments and as you know, that they're set for the week after donald trump is set to go on trial in his first criminal trial, we do sometimes get a sense of which way the court is going on. these when we get a chance to hear that this one seems like a real toss up sitting here and thinking about it. >> yeah, i think some of the questions would we would want to listen for if the justices are asking questions about where does that immunity stop? is it total immunity is what, what is it actions taken as president? is it after leaving office? could it affect the documents case? could it affect the january 6 case? could it even affect this case in manhattan that has nothing to do with his time in office, but he has tried to delay the manhattan trial over the looming supreme court case. the question is about what kind of scenarios are they asking about? where does this end? one of his attorneys was arguing earlier that that the immunity would cover him if he if a president ordered the assassination of a political rival, they weren't even willing to put a limit on that. if we see the justices probing in that line of area will make it to sense of where they see this ending or if they are inclined to agree with donald trump's lawyers >> very interesting. all right. michelle price. michelle, thank you very much for being with us this morning. i'm really appreciate jaylen >> all right. coming up next here.

start of israel's invasion of rafah is officially scheduled today, i received a detailed report on the talks in cairo, callers my constantly working to achieve our goals and i'm really the >> release of all our hostages and achieving a complete victory over hamas. >> hamas this victory requires entry into rafah and the elimination of the terrorist battalions. there. it will happen. >> there is a date though all right cnn's max foster joins me now with more max. good morning. always wonderful to see you. >> i gotta be honest. that sounds like a political campaign video. >> is >> he bluffing here? is that i mean is it a military time? what do you what do you make of this? >> i don't think bluffing is the right word, but it could be buying time, getting it because he's under this severe pressure from the right wing of his of his coalition, who are threatening to topple him if he doesn't go into raffa. so he's setting a date at the same time, america saying, you can't go into rafah if didn't have a plan to protect civilians. that seems pretty impulse possible this point, the area of pressure, of course, is that israelis generally just want the hostages out and he hasn't got a deal on getting hostages out. so he's facing pressure from every corner and he's trying to deal with them as best he can. it seems but under the current plan, it does look as though he does plan to go into rafah. he's just got to balance what the americans and the right of his party are asking of him >> so max when hamas says on the hostage question that the latest proposal does not meet their demands. they're not saying no here. this is obviously one piece of what night? i who's looking for. he talked about the hostages in that video. he's coming under a lot of pressure at home to do something here. where do these talks stand? >> well, this strange position that hamas is in obviously being absolutely pummeled physically, but actually a very strong negotiating position because they know that netanyahu needs a deal because the public rightfully what israeli hostages out, it's been so many months and they're desperate to see that happen. he needs to deliver it, but they are the ones who are able to deliver it. there are they haven't agreed to a deal. that's the point here are whether or not they will eventually or not. and there are certain things that netanyahu can't reto at the moment which one of which is getting israeli troops, israelis out of gaza, the end of all of this so they're in, they're in a strong position. and as long as they don't say yes they're able to string this out, but then this is why hi, the right israeli, right. those are far-right parties are saying the only option, the only way of getting israeli hostages out is actually to finally take out her mass. and if the remaining hamas members are in rafah, that's why netanyahu has to go in switching gears for a second >> david >> cameron, your foreign secretary, was here in the meeting with former president donald trump down in mar-a-lago. >> what why did this >> meeting take place? and what do we know about what was said? >> well, when you love to be a fly on the wall, i don't know if you remember. when was it? 2019. i was just looking it up. i'm trying to remember what it was, but donald trump only got the nomination for the republican presidential nomination because of his protectionist xenophobic misogynistic intervention because that's what david cameron said. this is not how to endear yourself to someone who may be president. so he's going over there what we're here, we haven't been given any details really about this meeting. we haven't even how it confirm that is happening, but all the uk press these very linked with saying it did happen from cameron side, saying this is about big international matters, but i think part of it has to be this guy might get in to the white house. and might have to rebuild some bridges here. and we'll see how donald trump yeah, i want donald trump does change his mind on people. it doesn't. if they change their mind on him, i guess. >> yeah. no, it does happen. >> max, what is your sense of how the british government overall is preparing for the possibility of a potential trump administration because obviously it's going to be different from when there were obviously a lot of comparisons between boris johnson and donald trump. and that era has passed us by. what is your sense of how it might work under the current situation >> i think there is concern because so much chaos in terms of his international policy before. but i think there is this wider view looking back on his last presidency, there are many positive things to say about it in terms of economy. and i think there is a view here that he was quite a peaceful president as well. ultimately, it's trying to figure out what he's going to do. so separating what he says from his actual policy and his actual actions. so nato is the big one i'm sure that's going to come up with cameron's. it would have come up in cameron's meeting and i'm sure cameron will be going in saying, i'm pushing really hard to get those countries who aren't putting my money into nato to put money into nato so trying to find a common ground and not to get too distracted by a lot of his rhetoric. i think that's the way they're going into this one >> always the challenge isn't it? >> max foster for us in london, max, always great to have you. thanks so much. >> all right. come on up next here. arizona's supreme court about to decide whether the state's

ongoing this morning just because of the sheer amount of rain at some of these areas have already seen. you can see those two orange spots right there on the map indicating at least four to six inches has already fallen in just the last 20 four hours. and we anticipate even more that's why there's a very broad flash flood threat for today, not just for the areas you saw in those boxes, but really you can see all of these areas here. they have the potential for flooding today just because of the amount of rain that is expected today, that's one of one-third, one of many threats that we are expecting today, not just the flood think, but also the potential for some severe storms. this includes the potential for very strong damaging winds, tornadoes, and even very large hail. yesterday, we had reports of baseball size hail that again will be possible for today for all of these areas you see here shaded, not just in the orange, but even the yellow and green areas have the potential for that. so severe storms as we go through the rest of the day. now, here's a look taking it forward again, you can see that all of that rain and storms are going to continue to spread eastward, not just

approve military aid house speaker mike johnson working behind the scenes to try and put together a ukraine aid package that can pass despite opposition from inside his own party congresswoman marjorie taylor greene continuing to be a threat how dare he go on tv and say it's his top priority to fund ukraine for >> 60 billion >> i will not >> tolerate a speaker of the house that i voted for to sell us out i will not tolerate it language, right me out or discuss eugenie scott, senior politics portrait axios in foreign usha mirror congressional reporter for the associated good morning to both of you great to see you for newish. how serious is the threat to johnson for marjorie taylor greene >> i mean, it's the most serious one he's faced yet, right. since see you've got the gavel. there have been whispers of whether the same tactics that were used against kevin mccarthy would once again be looming over johnson's head and you see that it only took five months, but say, where are we had a little orally time, but only took five months and it's here and it's it's so intrinsically tied it, ukraine aid and i think that the second that johnson brings it, he is going to see her initiate that trigger for the motion that leaves the question, eugene, of what democrats would do in that event, there have been a number of them. congressman killed, he was on the show yesterday saying that johnson should call hakeem jeffries and ask for help. >> and >> we've talked to a number of democrats who say they might be willing to do it is there any path for johnson to find a ukraine package that both he and as many republicans as he can muster can get behind in a way that also doesn't include poison pills for democrats. >> i think there isn't. he's having to consider it. and one of the reasons i believe there is this because we have some democrats who have gone on the record and say, look, we don't want to be in another speaker battle. an election is in a few months. this is not serve either party well voters want lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to work together on a host of issues. and many of the voters want them to find our solution to this issue right now, because it's something that they've been talking about for quite awhile. and we've made no significant progress on furnish. >> what is your sense of whether he can thread this needle because there has been some discussion of johnson trying to include in a ukraine package conservative priorities. how quickly does he get to a place where he can't get a bill over the finish line because democrats would reject the other things in the bill. yeah. no. i mean, it's it's it's a very fine fine line that he has his balancing on right now, right? as he has to make sure that any ukraine aid, first of all, they want it to be tied to israel aid. they want is relate included in that democrats want humanitarian aid for gaza. they don't want a you, ukraine and israel standalone bill. and then if you add too much of what democrats would, too much aid for gaza, then you're going to lose some republicans on the other side who are extremely pro-israel. so he's kind of a, a very dicey situation. but like eugene said, you know, democrats are going to be his lifeline in this, right? the majority, they can only afford to lose one vote. so he really has to make sure one vote. you really got to make sure that, that democrats are onboard with whatever he decides to bring onto the floor. >> yeah. and hope that every single person shows up, right >> yeah. yeah. good luck >> eugene, let's talk a little bit more about marjorie taylor greene at x0. at this event also addressed shocked about president biden and january 6, watch what she said my way, we have a long time we successfully in our objection on jane were six and he would do. >> so. eugene needless to say, this has been pretty normalized view in the republican party, but i just didn't want to lose sight of the fact that it's still remains remarkable >> absolutely. but it's also a reminder i just me of just how different some of these districts are. >> and that's that >> those talking points are pretty well received among republican voters. and marjorie taylor greene's district. and so it's crazy it is an accurate it's insane to many of her critics. but you see the applause she gets. she's likely going to when reelection you know, by by rates that are probably higher or as high as what she's done in the past. and so that's why we see are leaning into these talking points that people outside of her bubble consider absurd. >> and also speaking of marjorie taylor greene, because the well is just apparently bottomless furnish. we also had some tweets from her where she talked about the eclipse god ascending america, strong signs to tell us to repent earthquakes and eclipses in many more things to come. then she knows what's many of mocked and scoffed at this post and even put community notes. those are the little things on twitter that say actually this is wrong. eclipses are predictable. earthquakes happen. we know when comments are passing by, but god created all these things and uses them to be signs for those of us who believe now, i will say mike pence also posted something talking about how these kinds of natural phenomenon. he quoted an atheist, the columnist gene wajngarten from the washington post, who acknowledged to show one point feeling as though these things are unexplainable because they are a nearly, they feel spiritual for many people who experience them however, at tying it together with the earthquake that had happened in new york that day >> took this >> a step in the direction that you saw >> how do you see this playing out? >> i mean, i think there was a story yesterday about someone who during the during the eclipse when and shot people in the country because yeah. yeah. shooting. holder to do so you guys gohlke told her to do it and i so i don't think these things things are happening in an isolated space, right? people look to their elected officials, people look to someone like marjorie taylor greene, who despite not being a committee chair or not having been in congress for that long, has like massive cloud on capitol hill is able to hold this over the speaker's head and be able to take him out with one motion so i think it is important that what people say and how it's received. >> no, that's actually a really important point. i'm glad i'm glad you framed it that way. >> one other major issue that we've confronted in the last 24 hours, eugene is abortion rights and former president donald trump coming out and basically punting on national portion ban. he came out and said it should be left up to the state's. >> it >> very much anger at some of his allies on the right, lindsey graham came out and said, i respectfully disagree. they went back-and-forth on social. his former vice president, mike pence, who of course has made anti-abortion stances a centerpiece of his entire career mount and. said, no, i don't i don't agree with this at all bottom line, though, does it matter for the election here? i mean, donald trump seems to have done the political thing because he has been pretty clear in saying, we have to win elections and acknowledging that this has been an area where republicans have really lost ground and from an electoral perspective, well, it's worth noting that trump could change is my and a few weeks we know he goes back and forth on these types of things, but republicans in congress told axios that their largely relieved because this is an unpopular issue, that they've not had a lot of success with in the past at the state level, and they you don't think they would if there was a national ban that moves forward. but they're also democrats who are trying to remind people that they don't think that trump is someone you can trust when it comes to this issue based on the fact that he's taking credit for roe versus wade in the past, and that if a national abortion ban did get pass, did get to his death asked if he were in the white house they believe he would sign it. and so there's still trying to help voters realize that this is not a settled issue, jessica, because trump said he would not support it yesterday >> all right. you just got furnishing, mary. thank you both very much for being here. i really appreciate it. all right. this just in the european court of human rights ruling against the swiss government in a landmark climate case, the court finding in favor of a group of elderly swiss citizens who argue that heat waves fueled by climate change are undermining their health and quality of life. cnn's clare sebastian is with us now clear what can you tell us? >> yeah good morning, casey. there were actually three are really important, significant climate cases that were heard by the european court of human rights. we've got the verdict on all three this morning, two of them were were ruled inadmissible at including a major one where six young portuguese people had sued 32 government it's trying to get them to increase their climate action that was ruled in miscible because they hadn't gone through domestic courts in their home country or been able to establish that the other countries they were suing we're responsible for the human rights. but in the case of these elderly swiss women, this group called the swiss senior women >> they >> actually won their case, which means that there is now this legally so the binding decision, which may well for switzerland to increase its climate targets, they had actually already been through the swiss courts. did have their case thrown out, but the court ruled today that there had been critical gaps in the process in switzerland and putting in place the relevant domestic regulatory framework and a failure by the swiss authorities. they say to quantify their greenhouse get emissions. so this potentially going to really treads on new legal ground here it's the first case that has had this positive ruling in favor of the claimants in the european court of human rights, linking human rights to the issue of climate change, finding that the state of switzerland is responsible through meeting its climate targets to the human rights of its citizens. and even though we had the other two cases ruled inadmissible, this could mean that we could see more climate litigation coming through in europe, people may see this now as an effective tool alongside international treaties like paris, to force further action from governments on climate change all right, clare sebastian for us, clare, thanks very much for that report. come up next to your special counsel, jack smith, urging the supreme court to deny donald trump any additional delays in his election subversion case. >> plus >> celebrating the men's basketball champs >> zyrtec allergy relief works fast and lasts a full 24 hours. so

donald trump's claims of presidential immunity and deny any further attempts to delay his federal election subversion trial smith says that trump's position that he is above the law has no foundation in the constitution. in a court filing monday, he wrote this quote, the framers never endorsed criminal immunity for a former president and all presidents from the founding to the modern era have known that after leaving office, they faced potential criminal liability for official acts trump, of course, doesn't see it that way >> you have to leave immunity with the president if a president is afraid to act because they're worried about being indicted when they leave off as of president of the united states has to have immunity and the supreme court's going to be rolling on that if they don't have immunity, no president is going to act. you're going to have guys to just sit in an office and are afraid to do anything. >> all right. turning us from new york, cnn legal analyst and criminal defense attorney joey jackson. joey, it's always good to see you. thanks for being here. >> good to be here, casey. thank you. >> so joey, we've been hearing this from donald trump over and over again >> well, why did >> this filing from the special counsel come now? >> yeah. i think it's important really to frame the issues as we get closer to the mult, multiple trials that the president is facing. and so listen, the point is, is i think that jack smith has a level of frustration here in a variety of ways. and i think it's philly to give the sense and to give the focus that the immunity claim is just patently ridiculous. the bottom line is that there's a few things on the consideration. casey, number one, if you're going to talk as everyone does about everyone being equal under the law. that means the president certainly would be under that umbrella. why would he be treated any differently than anyone else? number two, if you want to talk about what immunity would be proper and improper, you can't have a situation where president could do anything in the oval office with impunity and never accept accountability for anything at any time based upon any circumstance number three is you have these trials moving forward and as you have the supreme court weighing in on this issue, you have to look at the legal basis for why immunity would be necessary. can you really commit crimes while you're the president because you're the president and there's nothing to see here. i think immunity may have some place >> but but certainly doesn't have a place here. when you're the president exercising your duties. and so i think jack smith wanted to really put a seal on that deal to have the supreme court as they begin to entertain this matter, entertain it by using its legal basis and purpose and rejected out of hand. so these trials can continue i think he's frustrated by the bottleneck casey and wants to have these matters proceed >> joey, one of the examples that i keep coming back to was the one that the dc circuit brought up when this was being argued. there, which was this idea that well, could have president use seal team six to assassinate a political rival. and the trump team seemed to argue, yes, in a way, is there a scenario where the supreme court makes, some sort of determination about what's inbounds and what's out of bounds in terms of examples like that, it seems very very tricky to do that. >> or >> do you see a more black and white situation from the court where they say you either have total immunity or you don't have any immunity at all. >> yeah. casey, brilliant question. and here's my answer. i think in circumstances where you have something this significant, where you have really decision that can be made, that can be illegal in nature. you have to set what we call in law bright-line rules those are rules where there is no slippery slope. those are roles where there is no room for interpretation. those are rules in which you clearly delineate what's proper and what's improper. is it fair to bait to talk about what is within the guidance of presidential actions and what is outside of it. absolutely. but i think the supreme court asked to set a standard which would suggest that no prime, no matter the rationale, no matter the circumstances, no matter the nature would be acceptable. so you do something that would be illegal, but you say because i'm the president had pat immunizes what you do. can have it. and so i think this is a situation be interesting to see how the supreme court develops this and entertains this. yes, there are things presidential and nature. no, they're things not, but i think to have a rule that would give any any indication that if you did something as president, it's okay. but if you did it on a saturday morning when you weren't at acting as present and it's not i think is very dangerous. so i think the supreme court will in fact impose a bright-line rule. and i don't think under any circumstance immunity would be granted. wrap not whether you like donald trump, you don't like him. this is about presidency. had unborn, right? although certainly the law changes over time, it's not only about donald trump, that's very important to note. it's about presidential actions in general. and i think you need specific guides. i didn't switch would suggest that, you know what you commit crimes, you do times >> joy. let's talk briefly about the hush money trial. we saw the jury questionnaire come out yet late yesterday. some of the questions about what kind of media do people consumed? did they listen to michael cohen's podcast? >> were you a >> member of q and on or one of the groups that we saw sharp at the capitol on january 6, the proud boys, for example, what were your takeaways from this questionnaire about what each side is concerned about? >> so big picture obviously, what jury selection about is about as we look there with potential jurors may be asked, right. the numerous questions. it's about selecting a fair and impartial jury. now, the critical issue casey, is not about whether you heard about the case before. do you have opinions about the case before the light? the president, do you dislike? president the critical inquiry rather is whether you are right for this jury, whether you can, based upon the facts and evidence in that courtroom, make a rational judgment as to guilt or innocence. and so is this jury for you, it may not be the overall takeaway is really to get at questions which really look to whether jurors have any bias and whether they can put any of that away at the end of the day, we live in a world where it's internet connected, everything you say now is heard throughout the country. >> it's not >> about what you heard. could you be impartial, could you be fair? and i think if they get it that it's important. last quick question. issue, casey, and that's this. remember that as long as you have challenges for calling pause what does that mean? it means if you question a juror and they say not to trial for me, they can be excused. >> your question. another one, i hate trump excuse your question. in jira, you know what? i can't do this excuse. you have unlimited four cause challenges. it's only the other challenges. the peremptory challenges, which are challenges that you get that are limited did in nature and that you could use. that's a story for another day, but it's important to note that if someone can't be fair, there's nothing in the law that says that you don't have an unlimited amount to just keep them moving off the jury to you get to a pool that is fair impartial, and can make a unanimous assessment beyond a reasonable doubt of guilt or innocence all right. fair enough. no pun intended. joey jackson. thank you very much. i really appreciate it. i'll see you soon. thanks >> all right. time now for sports, the uconn huskies are the
