Well, when 8085920400, thats when 8085920400 hello again everyone. Thank you so much for joining me on for greek. A whitfield all right. It is the eve of a historic moment, america can history tomorrow for the first time, prosecutors will present Opening Statements in a Criminal Trial of a former us president , donald trump will walk into a manhattan courtroom tomorrow morning, where he will hear the states case against him. He is facing dozens of charges related to alleged Hush Money Payment to adult film after a Stormy Daniels made before the 2016 election. This is the first of four criminal cases against trump to go to trial. Cnns Marshall Cohen when joining us now with more on this marshall, ill walk us through what the trial just might look like. Hey, fred, its History In The Making in New York City tomorrow, were donald trump will be the first president , former president of the United States to watch the Opening Statements in his own Criminal Trial. So lets just remind everybody how we got here because were just a few months away from the 2024 election. But this is all about the 2016 president ial election. Donald trump facing 34 felony charges. Those are State Charges brought by the top prosecutor, the District Attorney in manhattan, State Charges if hes convicted, he cant pardon himself the alleged crime is falsifying Business Records in connection with that Hush Money Payment to Stormy Daniels, which was routed indirectly through the trump organization. Prosecutors say that they falsify the records on the books. There. We have 12 jurors and six alternates that was what last week was all about. Whittling down that jury pool to get a seated panel of 12 and six its alternates. This is expected to go about six weeks, perhaps that means we could have a verdict this summer. And of course, donald trump has pleaded not guilty and he denies the affair with Stormy Daniels very aggressively one of. The prosecutor is going to be Talking About tomorrow. Unfortunately, the viewers at home, you wont be able to watch. You wont even be able to listen. There are no cameras in court. We have an entire team of reporters that will be there and sketch artists to do their best to bring it to life the prosecutors are going to try to bring this to life by telling a story of what happened in 2016. And they have a bunch of witnesses lined up and ready to go that surely therell be presenting in the coming days and weeks. Michael cohen, first and foremost hes the star witness in many respects. He was trumps righthand man, attorney and fixer. He has now turned states witness and he has a serious critic of donald trump. It was him who paid the money to Stormy Daniels in 2016 to keep her quiet. She never went public with those allegations before the 2016 election. Thanks to that at Hush Money Payment theres also hope hicks, she is a Trump Campaign official. Shu is part of the scramble behind the scenes in 2016 to prevent more damaging information from coming out against the candidate. Then on the bottom you have Karen Mcdougal and David Mcdougal is a former Playboy Playmate who also allege that she had an affair with donald trump and david as the head of the National Enquirer or purchase the rights to her story. But they buried it. They never published it, fred, and that is part of a scheme that prosecutors have called catch and kill between cohen and trump to find bad stories, anything damaging about trump . By it, bury it, mixture of the voters would never hear about it. Bread, all right. Marshall cohen. Thanks so much. Lets bring in our legal expert now, Michael Zeldin is a former federal prosecutor who served as Robert Muellers especially assistant at the department of justice. Add hes the host of that set with Michael Zeldin podcasts, Michael Great to see you so Opening Statements tomorrow. In case of this magnitude, how long do you expect those statements to go . They could last in hour or two each. I dont think its that complicated the case. You probably could get it done within 40 minutes or so. But lawyers these days seem to talk a lot longer in Opening Statements then when i was trying cases. So well have to see fred, but this is a pretty straightforward case. Factually. And what the prosecution needs to do is define what the terms of this case are about, which is business fraud. This is not a private agreement between private Citizen Trump and private citizen Stormy Daniels, something that they could have done. But rather this is a complicated scheme to defraud the voters of the information they needed before the election and the taxpayers of new york for the income that they might get if this was properly reported on their books and records. So how important is it going . Is it going to be for prosecutors to also use this opportunity to kind of teach the juror or some of them may not be very familiar with business or whats permissible, whats nfa . A call at whats illegal. So theyre Opening Statements might also be an opportunity to kind of teach them what the roadmap will be or will they be saving that for later . No i think that is exactly what i would do where i try this case. Id want to say, Ladies And Gentlemen of the jury let me tell you what this case is about. Let me educate you about the facts of this case with this scheme was what its intention was, how that intention was accomplished and here are the witnesses who were going to be testifying to that. And by the way, here are the Business Records themselves that Support Everything we are saying. So you can believe or not believe an individual witness here are there, but the Business Records Support Everything. Each of them is saying. So at the end of the case, when asked you for a verdict of guilty weve seen already. Part of the strategy ive trumps defense team has been to delay by a number of motions and most Defense Attorneys would do that, right. But im wondering too, do you expect that they might be argumentative in the midst of the prosecutors Opening Statements as a Delay Tech Tactic or something else, some other motivation. Well, its a great question when i was a defense attorney, i used to periodically object in the Opening Statement of prosecutors, very unusual. I was just an annoying lawyer dont think theyll object in the Opening Statements, but i do think they will make a big push to get out there counter narrative, which was there was no fraud here. There was no intention to defraud anybody. This was just an agreement between Citizen Trump and Citizen Daniels to pay money to suppress a story which was untrue. But damaging. And so there was a calculation made that like with Karen Mcdougal or others, we would suppress just like bill clinton did with the socalled Bimbo Eruptions when he was running no harm, no foul, no intend to defraud private case. Government prosecuting me because im donald trump to interfere with the election. I think thats their narrative. Well see how much leeway the judge gives them to make it, though. Okay. And you say Opening Statements, it could be just an hour, so that means there would be room for witness number one or two with the judge. One but things to keep moving in that respect and get the witnesses in. If it turns out that Opening Statements are a very short or would the judge instead want to wait until a new fresh day . Well, it depends on how long into the day it runs. Lets say they start right away, nine, 30 in the morning with Opening Statements and Opening Statements, take all morning. Then they have a lunch break, and then theyll call the first witness in the afternoon. If im wrong in the Opening Statements last hours and hours and its not until 3 00 that, they are ready for the first witness. The judge could make determination to start fresh in the morning. But i think that we might have a very good chance of seeing witness number one tomorrow in the afternoon all right. Michael zeldin. Good to see you. Thank you so much. Of course, we have live coverage tomorrow reporters allowed in the courtroom. No life cameras, but we will have a live coverage all day. All right.

Capella university is Game Changing flex path format. You can own your Nursing Degree without putting life on hold Opening Statements and the Trump Hush Money Trial starts tomorrow at nine eastern a 95 billion foreign aid bill is now headed to the us senate after months of contentious wrangling and the House Of Representatives, the senate will have to come back from recess if its going to get get this passed quickly, the package provides ukraine with 61 billion as it struggles to hold its ground on the front lines in the war war with russia and israel gets 26 billion, including a sizable chunk for its Missile Defense systems. Weve got full coverage for alvarez In Washington, Fred Pleitgen in ukraine, and Jeremy Diamond in tel aviv, israel. So priscilla, you first do we have a timeline for when that could take this up . We do according to Senate Majority leader chuck schumer, this is expected to start happening on tuesday afternoon. That being voting on these National Security bills and it is expected to pass and i would go to the president s desk for a signature, something that he called to of called for over the weekend and said the sentence should act quickly, noting that we can quickly send weapons and equipment to ukraine to meet their urgent battlefield needs. All of that, once this process is complete, but theres no doubt, fred, that this was a win for the white house, which four months has been asking for these additional funds for ukraine, among other National Security priorities, often framing this as the interests of the United States. So its also not to cede any ground to russia and especially over the last few days, us us officials just kept and how important it was to get this across the finish line with warnings of ukraine possibly losing the war by the end of the year if they it get that aid. Now, the president On Saturday Afternoon called Speaker Johnson and House Minority leader jeffries separately to thank them for getting this past. Of course. Now it heads to the senate, but said Security Defense secretary austin also weighed in on this yesterday saying that the package would surge lifesaving think Security Assistance to ukraine, support israel, and increase the flow of humanitarian aid to gaza. So us officials have said this is a long time coming. They need these funds, they need to get this equipment to ukraine and do so quickly. So while we still have a few other steps that need to play out here the hope buy from us officials is that they can start getting this equipment where it needs to go by the end of the week all right, priscilla, thanks so much to Fred Pleitgen. Now, in kyiv. So what are ukrainians feeling knowing now that this funding could be on the way . Well, certainly a lot better than they did before. It went through the House Of Representatives. And you can really feel that its really palpable. The relief on the part of the ukrainians, especially of course, the ukrainian leadership, but also quite frankly, Fredricka Frontline ukrainian troops that weve been speaking to as well, who said theyd been starved for especially Artillery Ammunition but, also in many cases, they feel that perhaps the us had almost forgotten about the war here. Thats going on in ukraine in certainly its been a big morale boost. They have said to know that this has gone through the House Of Representatives and theres really three key things that the ukrainian say they need immediately some of the things that priscilla was Talking About is definitely palpable here on the ground in ukraine as well, then ukrainians are saying four now theyre holding many of their defensive lines, even though the russians have made some gains. However, there is a real threat that some of those lines could collapse if a lot of those, especially ammunition, doesnt come very quickly. So Artillery Ammunition, the ukrainians Talking About, then also air defense missiles as well. Very key, not just on the frontline, but also to some of the cities here in this countries that have been attacked by russian missiles and Energy Infrastructure as well. One of the other thing that the ukrainian president actually mentioned today, frederico, which i thought was also quite interesting was atacms longer range missiles at ukrainian say they also need to hit some of those rear areas is it the russians have, for instance, Ammunition Depots that the russians have. I was also today able to speak to Vladimir Klitschko is of course the former world heavyweight boxing champion, but also still very much involved in the defense here. And that effort in ukraine. And he said, why its so important for the cranium to get this military aid. Lets listen in today as a Great Potential to change the frontline. So we can then ukraine defend us better it sends also very important signal to putins russia that youre not going to win this war, this nsess war that has been started over 2. 5 years ago, almost 2. 5 years it sends a message of motivation for us ukrainians, that we are not alone it did sent also for republicans and democrats in the, in this critical moments to stand together and make this decision together to protect democracy. In this world there you have Volodymyr Klitschko saying that this aid package, im extremely important for the ukrainians, but he also believes important for the us as well, More Bad News though on the battlefield for the ukrainians, the russian saying that they took a key village in the east of the country and seeing some creeping gains, there from the russians. Russians also suffering some pretty big losses as theyre moving forward nevertheless, right now, the momentum certainly does appear to be on the side of Vladimir Putins on america all right, Fred Pleitgen in kyiv. Thanks so much to Jeremy Diamond. Now and televisa. Jeremy, we understand therell be an israeli war Cabinet Meeting this evening. Whats the expectation yeah, theres really work cabinet convened this evening to discuss the fate of the hostages. Some honey hundred and 33 hostages who remain captive in the gaza strip. And it comes on the eve of passover, us, a Jewish Holiday Rife with symbolism as it relates to freedom and so many israelis tomorrow our night on the first night of passover will be holding an empty chair at their table to remember the fate of those hostages. But those negotiations to try and secure their release really have broken down over the course of the last week. They are not dead altogether, but theyre certainly not headed in the right direction. And so the israeli war cabinet and the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu increasingly Talking About military pressure to secure the release of those hostages, the israeli Prime Minister in a Video Statement this evening saying that israel will soon land additional and painful blows increasing military and political pressure on hamas in keeping with that, the israeli militarys Chief Of Staff general herzi halevi today Convening A Situational assessments and approved plans for the continuation of the war in gaza. Reading between the lines that very much indicates a coming Ground Offensive in rafah. Thats southernmost city in gaza, where more than 1 million palestinian hands are currently sheltering. And we know that even as the us is providing israel with billions of dollars in additional aid, they have expressed serious concerns about the possibility of a coming Ground Offensive in rafah because of how many people are currently packed in there, and the difficulty of evacuating so many people, the uncertainty about where they will go, what kind of basic services they will be provided with. We know that last week these really military was already set to begin that evacuation of rafah beginning to drop leaflets on rafah last monday. Im told that was delayed as the Israeli Government debated a Military Response to those iranian strikes on israel last weekend. With that now out of the way, it only leaves rafat as the most likely next Military Terry Step for this. Governments. And so were not clear exactly when that will happen, how long an evacuation will take, but it does appear that a Ground Offensive in russia will soon come. Fred. All right. Jeremy diamond for pleitgen and priscilla alvarez. Thanks to all of you. All right.

This here rob, i know of farkas is the president and ceo of the jewish federation, los angeles. Well, hes also preparing for the seder, the organization he leads is recommending people know who they invite into their homes, keep outdoor lights on, and report any incident or crime one of the saddest things about being a jew in America Today is that we have to pay for private security to express our First Amendment right for large gatherings cameras, an extra security had become the norm in arisen years and especially since october 7, the demand for our services increased at least like three to 400 . The increase says 810 bazaars with David Shields security is in part because of protests. Campus threads, and middle east tensions causing a6 in the i dont use or how can help you in 2023, almost 9,000 antisemitic incidents have been trapped in the the highest number of incidents reported since the Antidefamation League began tracking them in the 1970s.

Thank you so much now, today, an Orthodox Rabbi associated with new yorks Columbia University as warning jewish students, the campus is not safe and they should quote return home until it is tensions remain high at columbia after several days of propalestinian protests and camp mens and arrests, the unrest follows an appearance by the universitys president On Capitol Hill last week, cnns polo sandoval, joining us now, polo, what is the situation on campus today . What are people saying so for their multiple bull elements to this, the first you can see and here behind me here in manhattan at the gates of Columbia University. What you see behind me as a propalestinian demonstration thats essentially martin just up to the gates of Columbia University as far as they can make it at this point. And theyre chanting in solidarity with demonstrators on campus, as you recall, server days ago, the University President get into having to turn to the nypd for help in removing students portions of an encampment that had formed while she was testifying before lawmakers about antisemitism on campus since then, only students, faculty, perhaps some parents able to actually make their way on campus. We were allowed to do so as well through the working with the Columbia School parallelism to see firsthand this persistent encampment. These are demonstrators that are still maintaining that, that footprint currently on campus and theyre doing so peacefully at this point, the Question Lesson is, when or will Columbia University Feel The Need to once again interjects . So while that is happening there, on the other side, there also growing very serious concerns among members for the Jewish Community on campus. Many of them afraid that they no longer feel safe because of these growing demonstrations. It got to a point where this morning a rabbi thats associated seated with Columbia Sportswear oxygen in Jewish Learning Initiative essentially sent a message to roughly 300 jewish orthodox students saying that he strongly recommended that they simply we had home until the university acts to make them feel safer. And that message sent out based on what the what the rabbi also shared with our calls colleague jake tapper, saying that the message was sent in response to videos. A Protest Calling for violence against jewish members of the university really moments that he described as quote, just horrific scene ended reach out to Columbia University. They did confirm that they are receiving these reports of concerns. A University Saying that it is acting to make sure but that they feel safe. But it really does go to the broader issue here, fred of Columbia University and so many other institutions throughout the country. Now, having to walk that very delicate line protecting their students and other members of the community, the right to assemble and to express themselves. But the same times have we heard from Columbia University saying that there are also making sure that they do not disrupt University Operations and also do not intimidate their fellow students as well. So that really is something to be on the lookout for. Days ahead. Again, we are several months into these kinds of demonstrations happening. But the situation escalated last week, and it is a hope here among Columbia University officials that doesnt happen again all right. Polo sandoval.

In 2016 on a 300,000 home loan, your payment would have been about 40 1,800 a month. Well, today that same 300,000 home would cost you 600 a month, more at 2000 a month. Mortgage rates climbed last week based on expectations that the fed will not cut Interest Rates any time soon joining me right now to discuss, is Michelle Singletary a Personal Finance columnist for the Washington Post. Michelle, you always have a rosy outlook on things, but this is kinda downright depressing if youre in the market of buying a home is going to cost you a whole lot more. So what are you telling potential home buyers and sellers what should they should what they should do yeah. You know i dont want people to be scared off from home buying, but just be realistic. So a lot of times when people are buying a home, they just skimming in there right . So you dont want to be that person . You want to make sure that you have a good cash cushion, you have an Emergency Fund that you havent just put everything into buying at home, which leaves you know, cushion for when life happens. And so the Mortgage Market the same way you would, no matter what the rates are make sure youve got a good amount of money for down payment. Youve got honey in your budget for when things happen, you lose, your job. You cant get sick. And so dont worry so much about where the rate but what can you do to afford their mortgage once you get into that home. Okay. Because if you are in the market of buying a home, you are probably setting aside your money for your down payment. So if you were in the market for something that was 300,000, knowing their Interest Rate is higher i feel like im hearing from you maybe now you have to downplay your expectations of the price of the home. Maybe its the 200,000 or two, 50 or something so that the money that you have saved or set a the side can help you knowing that your Mortgage Rates are going to be a little higher than you had originally planned for per square foot absolutely. Year absolutely. Right. You might maybe you were looking for something bigger than your budget could handle maybe you look for townhouse instead of singlefamily house, maybe a condo, maybe we different neighborhood. You might have to adjust your expectations and listen, the Mortgage Market, or i should say the whole by market has been crazy people see what they want, and maybe the list prices 300 or 400 and youre like, i got ahead and house so you know, youve been forced 25 or Something Like that. No one full well, that that is going to stretch you too much less than folks. Theres still going to be houses out there, right . You still will be able to get in a house. You dont you should not panic and rush into her house and pay more than you can afford. And when i say that, i dont just mean the mortgage payment, we all know that we need to see for our retirement. You got keys to save for their college fund. You got to say hey, if you have a disruption in your income. So when i say affordability, mean looking at everything that could happen in your life when you get it to that home . I have been a homeowner pretty much all my life. I read it one year and every time i went to get her home, i qualified myself on net income, not my growth income, which is what lenders do because i knew i was taking care of a disabled brother. I knew i wanted to save for retirement, and so i always kind of smaller house, then the bank said i could afford so it has been a goal for a lot of people, right . Almost everybody they want to be a home owner. But now it just seems so out of reach for so many people so can you help encourage people about why it might be smarter to go ahead and rent for as long as you can, or perhaps apps even like go of the Home Ownership dreams because its just too expensive yeah. Im going to tell you this, which i think you should just say to yourself when people sort of Push Homeownership on you, when youre not ready, you are not a financial failure. If you are a renter, sade, it to yourself every time someone says you got to buy a house. Listen, there are millions of people who are renting, who can afford her house or maybe dont even want a house. And a lot of times were pushing that homeownership because we say thats the way you build wealth and it is a way to build wealth for most americans. But guess what . There are other ways to build wealth. You can put 20 and time. Youre fine. You can say outside of retirement fund, and eight low cost index start from, you can still built well without being a homeowner im a big believer in homeownership. But when its right and at the right time for you and youre okay if youre rich, you are a financial failure. All right, see, always rosie. I appreciate it and so does everyone else.

But we are going to see a change, finally, starting to see more of those warmer temperatures beginning to spread eastward. But we do still have some areas that well see below average temperatures this week. That means is this next system begins to arrive into the northeast, bringing rain, but also snow because those Cold Temperatures will be in place.

Tonight on the whole story with Anderson Cooper, a story of conflict you probably know nothing about Nick Paton Walsh reports from srilanka on the ongoing and fatal battle between wayne elephant man. Nick fred. This documentary took us to some of the most beautiful parts of srilanka in itself stunning place, but a place its increasingly overcrowded in the false charge for economic growth. And thats impacted elephants significantly. There are 6,000 the them in srilanka. Its thoughts and 476 and alone, were killed in clashes wit169 o them were killed. And thats same year. And so this isnt really a philosophical debate about space. It is violence often daily, sometimes taking lives in the villages we visiting ourselves and how violence involves humans using firecrackers to push elephants away from Agricultural Land that people desperately need to feed their families to earn a living. And its really because humans need more and more land in the name of growth to expand for their number, to feed their families. And elephants have always relied on Vegetation Space to thrive an exit yes, to those two needs, a clashing increasingly in a place like srilanka. In fact, to what is remarkable, what we witnessed is how elephants or forcibly adapting to the human environment. And heres one particularly acute example of that this is what is come four to feast on garbage not deterred by smoke. Thats things our eyes either so hungry or walked in his diet that this is what healon jaw Electric Shock to eat around 20 of the hundreds of elephants that circulates srilanka is trash heaps have died in recent years. Some poisoned, others starving as the plastic has filled their stomachs they were simply never meant to be this use to the human world that we saw across the country, the loss that elephants face. You can see that the stark change change in their habitats, just fishing through plastic to exist. And i think important thing to take away from this february qarrah, this is not a story really about the natural world. Of course it is. But what were seeing here is clear, stark metaphor of how crowded our planet is becoming and how the damage the Human Species is doing. And its relentless pursuit of growth and greed frankly, for anything it can consume fredricka. Yeah. All right. Its its powerful imagery. Nick paton walsh. Thank you so much. Bobby watching.
