joining us. these are incredibly exciting mashups later tonight, the interest in the women's game, as you know, is scott hi, hi, right now, why do you think that is well, >> katelyn katelyn is unbelievable she is a star. she's a superstar, she's a bright light. what she's accomplished the last couple of years, bringing out a eyeballs to a women's college basketball has been incredible. it said nauta records be nauta man's record. nothing but flowers for her wolfe. she has been amazing and performance you put on the other night against lsu was incredible and the biggest moment of her life probably she showed up and
3:34 pm
showed out so i can't wait for both games tonight. i will tell you this. i was please south carolina, i think they've got to have they're going to have a handful with nc state tonight. but i was definitely going have their hands full with uconn they certainly will we all love katelyn as you know, i was at the nba all-star game weekend this year and i'm sure you were there as well and we all saw steph curry narrowly beat sabrina ionescu in a thrilling three-point shootout contest that got me wondering charles who would win a shooting match between you and caitlin clark >> oh, caitlin clark >> hey, let me let me give >> sabrina some flowers also because, you know, that was a great controversy about her student from demands. i thought it was a stroke, a genius on her part to shoot from what a man shot from >> because get a shot what a woman shot from and beach step, they would have complained about that but if you go back
3:35 pm
and actually look, she beat all the other man other than steph curry. so shout out to sabrina for putting on a great show. and that was definitely the highlight of the all-star weekend. it certainly was that the game itself was not so great that three-point shootout contest with steph curry, arguably the best three-point shooter in the nba. she's clearly the best three-point shooter in the wnba. that was the best part of that entire weekend. other men's side. later tonight, there are two very compelling games that will be tomorrow night. i should say, sadly, by bracket is already pretty much busted, but i'm excited, very excited for the matchup. what are you expecting? set the scene >> well, we got one teamness. look like they're pretty much on b2b in uconn. they want they've been they've had a 30 point lead and every game so far in this tournament. you got nc state, who is a definitely a cinderella you've got alabama who i got great hatred for, but i got to respect them for

3:37 pm
player. so you can grow as a person. >> because the limelight plan, >> what lebron it's so it's so bright. walk i don't want you don't want your kid on that type of pressure because less than he's got a long way to go. i'll be has a great nba careers, but i don't want him to play with the i don't want him to go on his own way. what a life's won't be as bright good point. i totally agree. charles barkley as usual. thanks very much. thanks for being a good friend as well. and to our viewers, be sure to watch charles on his weekly program with gayle king right here on cnn, king charles errors, right here wednesday nights, 10:00 p.m. eastern you of course, could catch charles tomorrow night on tnt our sister network for final four coverage, we'll be watching charles. thank you very, very much. just ahead. what a blockbuster jobs report means for the us. the country, and the biden campaign, we have information. you need to know

3:42 pm
he cooks across america live monday at one on cnn or streaming on macs. >> tonight, president biden is haley a new jobs report as a milestone in america's economic comeback? the united states added 303,000 new jobs in march, far exceeding expectations and the unemployment rate fell to 3.8%. the nature darwin join, its longest streak of low unemployment since the 1960s, joining us now a national co-chair of the biden campaign, mitch landrieu. mitch, thanks very much for joining us as you know, despite these very a very positive signs that recent wall street journal poll of seven key battleground states that were likely determine the winner of the election. showed this voters and all seven of those states said they believe donald trump is best able to handle the economy so if we're in the middle of an economic come back here in the united states as the president says, why do voters seem to prefer trump on this issue of the
3:43 pm
economy >> while well, first of all, thanks for having me. secondly, please note ever let me follow. so charles barkley, who is a genius and smart and knows more about basketball than anybody will ever know and be careful about watching the final four because kaitlan collins cnn fame, as you know, is an alabama fan. so we'll all be watching it. secondly, let me say this let's not skate over what the top line is here. president biden took office with one of the great economic calamities in the history of the country. country and in three short years, has now turned the country around and created one of the strongest economic recoveries that we've seen 15 million jobs. as people may recall, because some people seem to have gotten donald trump law 2.5 million jobs. as you noted, we've now had the lowest unemployment in america since 19 60s, 3.8% wages are gone up, jobs are gone up. i'm an arizona today talking about these investments and the thousands of high-paying jobs
3:44 pm
that they creating listed, we've always said this was going to be a tough election. we are still some significant away away from election day. we're going to keep pushing really, really hard to know to make sure people know where these jobs came from. are we going to continue to talk about it? people will be reminded about what the economy was like when donald trump, which is an office. because right now joe biden is outpacing him by very, very, very large numbers. >> the former obama campaign chief or menu. and i know well, david axelrod said this about president biden's response to today's numbers. and let me put it up on the screen and our quote from axel rod, stuff costs a lot more. that is real joe biden, who is known for his empathy, should more readily acknowledge and embrace that reality and highlight the things he's doing to combat it. and the profiteers who have contributed to it better politics than simply crowing about the economy. how do you respond to them? well >> either david's my friend than i like it very much. first of all, i don't think that we
3:45 pm
should gloss over the fact that joe biden has created 15 million jobs and joe and donald trump has lost 2.5 million jobs. nobody who has that record would not speak about it. so the president is right to do so. and if the shoe was on the other foot, donald trump would be doing the same thing. but the president has said, and david's correct about this, but the president has been doing this. he always talks about that notwithstanding the job growth we also have high prices, which is why he's been hammering the pharmaceutical companies. he's been gone after big oil and in fact, he beat big pharma. people will remember in the inflation reduction act, but by the way, donald trump wants to repeal is the law that has forced pharmaceutical companies to reduce people's prescription drugs capping insulin costs at $35 and making sure that we have affordable healthcare 20 million more people, reducing costs for junk fees. president biden talks about this all the time i don't know why the press doesn't pick that up, but the president rarely ever says, we have good jobs, numbers without saying yes. and the cost of things is still too high because if you go to the grocery store in the morning and you my groceries for your
3:46 pm
kids, you by an edge, you buy and milk the cost of that has gone up. that's where you feel the real pain, but that's no reason to ignore the fact that we have the largest and the best job growth that is going to create sustainable economic growth where people can build generational wealth over time. you can do both of those things at the same time. we will continue to prosecute that case between now and election day the president, as you know, since the state of the union addresses hit nine different states, he's out there talking, he's working, he's in baltimore today helping rebuild the bridge that incredibly crashed everybody has sought and governor wes moore is doing a great job but and he's going to continue to do that and he's going to run it through the tape. keep and my best bet is joe biden beat donald trump before. and he's gonna beat him again, or mitch landrieu joining us. thank you very much for that coming up. thanks, wolf. thank you. arguments by donald trump's lawyers were just made public in the former president's bid to derail his upcoming criminal trial in new york what does it mean to be

spatial colombia, the final flight premieres sunday at nine on cnn >> your new details to guide, i'm one of donald trump's newest attempts to try to derail his first criminal trial that scheduled to begin only ten days from now a memo by his lawyers was just made public. involving trump's push for the judge in the case to recuse himself. cnn senior legal analyst elie honig is joining us right now. ellie, walk us through trump's arguments and whether they have any chance of succeeding so while donald trump is now asking judge juan merchan for a second time to recuse himself to remove himself from the case and trump's team points to two things first of all, they note that in the summer of 2020, judge more shawn made a donation, a very small donation $35 to a democratic political group that's stated purpose was to put joe biden the white house and to defeat donald trump. second, trump's team notes that the judge's daughter works for a democratic consulting organization that does work for several democratic candidates. now,
3:52 pm
trump originally made this motion last summer, judge more sean consulted with an ethics group that told him you do not have to recuse and hence, judge merchan rejected that motion. now trump is reopening this motion and he's arguing that the circumstances have changed because last summer he says he was one of several republican candidates, and now he's essentially the presumptive nominee. well, if i think this one has close to a 0% chance of success because if judge machine was going to recuse himself, he already would have done that. i think he'll reject this one. >> you think galley, we'll see more emotions? by trump and his lawyers between now and the hush money trial, which as i said, is set to start in early ten days >> you can bet on that. well, if i think we're going to see a steady stream of last gasp efforts to get this thing pushed off. i think donald trump may for example, asked to move the case out of manhattan to another county. i would be ready for steady stream of these motions next week. i don't think any of them succeed. i do think we will be on trial on april 15. we shall see elie honig. thank you very much cropping up. why monday
