tv   CNN Newsroom With Jim Acosta  CNN  April 17, 2024 7:00am-8:00am PDT

7:00 am
7:01 am
car business blue carbon carbon plus cnn field sunday at nine good morning. >> you were alive in this newsroom. i'm jim acosta in washington this morning we begin with chaos and revolt up on capitol hill. and just hours from now, a showdown in the senate. as members will be sworn in as jurors first for the impeachment trial of the homeland security secretary, alejandro mayorkas, and have that moment, other work in the senate grinds to a halt over in the house. the gop revolt against house speaker mike johnson is gaining steam a meaning he will now need some democratic support to keep his job if his fellow republicans carry through with their threats to remove him, all of this as crucial military aid to ukraine and israel remains stalled. >> a lot to discuss now, a cnn
7:02 am
congressional correspondent for and fox, lauren, let's start with the mayorkas impeachment trial. >> it's going to happen now. it sounds like isn't it? >> yeah i, mean what we're going to see today is that 1:00 jim, the senators will be sworn in as jurors at that point. it's a little unclear what precisely the next steps will be. senate conservatives have been pushing very hard to get senate majority leader chuck schumer to hold a fulsome sense and it trial on this impeachment article. again, secretary alejandro mayorkas, but it is clear that democrats may move expeditiously to try and dismiss this all that is because they argue this is a political disagreement. this is about republicans attacking policy proposals. they don't like from the biden administration. this is not the kind of high crimes and misdemeanors that are typically the bar when it comes to moving forward with an impeachment trial against someone, especially a historic trial
7:03 am
like this one against a member of the president's cabinet, something that hasn't happened in almost 150 years. so you are asking this moment right now on capitol hill, where this could actually move very quickly. this could all be wrapped up later this afternoon. but again, we just have to watch and see especially whether or not some of those republicans across the aisle and vote with democrats to quickly dismiss this. i'm keeping an eye on people like senator mitt romney, senator lisa murkowski, to members who have been known to the aisle before on these kinds of impeachment matters. >> yeah, those are certainly wants to wash lord. and what about the chaos over in the house? house speaker mike johnson refusing to resign after another republican lawmaker jumping on the bandwagon itself sounds like to oust him it sounds like johnson may need democratic support to survive what's the latest on that yeah, jim, one that i'm keeping an eye on is it is 10:00. >> this morning and we still
7:04 am
have not seen legislative tax, a full plan from speaker mike johnson's office as to how he plans to tap pull four separate bills including aid to ukraine and the reason that that's such an interesting point right now is the fact that johnson is under fire from hardliners within his conference, who are pressuring him not to bring up ukraine aid at all when he made that announcement on monday that his plan was to move forward later this week on those votes, you saw an eruption of frustration. now just for marjorie taylor greene, who has been holding over him, this threat of bringing forward a motion to vacate against him. but yesterday you saw thomas massie and other republican hardliner announced in the republican common prince meeting behind closed doors that he too would join marjorie taylor greene. and the reason that that is so significant is it does make this threat very real for johnson because on friday, my gallagher, a republican member,
7:05 am
will give up his congressional seats, step aside at that point, johnson will have just a one vote margin and what that means for him is that he would either need democratic support to help him keep his job. there are already a handful of members willing to do that. >> but again, it becomes a question. >> is that how mike johnson wants to stay in the speakership if marjorie taylor greene forces this issue of vacating the speaker jim far, it sounds very tenuous. all right. lauren fox. thank you very much. let's discuss more now democratic congresswoman jasmine crockett of texas. she is a member of the congressional progressive caucus, congresswoman. thank you so much for being here. i guess, just very quickly secretary mayorkas was impeached in the house. now this moves over to the senate. what are your thoughts? on all of that as this may actually happened now over in the senate and impeachment trial of the homeland security secretary yeah. >> unfortunately, the chaos that you were just discussing is pouring over into the senate and the american people should just be looking at this and
7:06 am
recognizing this for what it is. in fact, you're talking about retiring here minutes. we know that one of the members of the republican party recently left simply because he said it was too much. and we're talking about a freedom caucus member who felt as if we had the sham impeachments that they work trying to push through, whether it was on mayorkas or whether it was on the president of the united states the people really want a body that can govern. and this body has proven that at least in this congress under republican control, it has no ability whatsoever to govern, or at least no desire to govern thank congresswoman, i mean, as for the fate of the house speaker mike johnson what do you think? i mean, if it comes down to it and he needs democratic votes to survive, is that something you can get on board with if he gives democrats something like aid to ukraine. where do you stay in on that? >> i'm not voting for speaker johnson at all. i will continue to stand and vote for my leader. that is leader
7:07 am
jeffries, but i will tell you this. if this weaker is smarter than the previous one, mccarthy, than what he will do is he will talk to our leadership. he will talk with leader jeffries. he will ask pluto jeffries what it would take to make sure that he could save his job if that's something that he's looking forward to do. the one thing that i can say about mccarthy, if i had something nice to say about him, it would be that, you know what he said, basically to hell with it you know what i'm gonna do, what's right and that means keeping this government open the fact that we are debating whether or not there will be support for putin and allowing putin to continue to wage this unrelenting, less and unwarranted war against ukraine is absolutely it boggles my mind, but here's the other part. if we are really looking out for national security, if we're looking out for the security of america, it doesn't make sense because now we're establishing that we cannot be relied upon when our friends and our allies call on us. it is important that we
7:08 am
don't set a precedent that if we ever need help that people say, well, you know what, you didn't have your friends and allies backs. so why should we have yours? this is bigger than just this moment. we have to recognize that this is a huge moment right now for the ukrainian people, but it's also a huge moment for the world as well as america. and it is time to do what's right, even if it means that you could lose your job at least you know that the history books will look kindly upon you because you did what was right for the american people and congresswoman, i do want to ask you about this because it does pertain to who's really in charge over in the house of representatives, former president trump was asked yesterday whether he would protect johnson against these threats. >> to his speakership. >> let's play a little bit of what he had to say well, we'll see what happens your congresswoman, he just says, well, we'll see what happens with that. >> it wasn't that long ago, just last week that mike
7:09 am
johnson went down to mar-a-lago to meet with trump and now here we are just less than a week later and it doesn't sound like trump is fully on board with the house speaker how does that affect the way business is done in the house of representatives yeah, right now, unfortunately, it definitely feels as if trump is puppets hearing the republicans between trump and the republican a trump and putins party. >> i don't really know who's doing more puppets hearing, but both there are absolutely puppets hearing the republicans in the house. what is unfortunate is that trump continues to tell people who he is and they continue to ignore trump only cares about trump. >> the fact that the speaker did go down and bend the knee and it, this sham press conference and supports any and everything that the president does and the president's only
7:10 am
>> supposed to govern. >> and with this slim majority into liter hakeem jeffries and coming up with a solution that will help to protect the american people help the ukrainian people, helped to protect our actual reputation on the international level, as well as make sure that the american people can say, you know what, what they've got going on in washington may not be as dysfunctional as it has appeared to be. and we can deal with trump on another day. but i got to say last time i checked trump is not one of speaker johnson's constituents can't vote him in and he can't vote them out all right. >> congresswoman jasmine crockett. thank you so much for your time this morning. really appreciate it absolutely. all right. my next guest is no stranger to disarray up on capitol hill. see you and senior political commentator form of publican, congressman
7:11 am
from illinois, atom can singer joins us now what do you make of what's happening right now? do you have a thought as to does mike johnson hang on i mean, there's a part of me that thinks adam that the members in the house republican conference can't possibly think it's good for them to have another speaker thrown overboard and that, that is going to really impact all of this yeah, i mean, look, first off ranks of the house. the problem is with such a tight majority, she has kind of a ton of power, quite honestly because she can put a motion to vacate up and then you have thomas massey, who by the way, you used to actually be a serious legislator. and in the last number of years has really, i think actually turned his back on his own principles. he's joined this motion to vacate and those two have the ability to hold the entire house hostage. and this is a rare moment in history. the problem is, and i've used this
7:12 am
analogy before. imagine every member of the republican caucus having a hand grenade, right? everybody is equally powerful. but if somebody is willing to pull the pin on the hand grenade, they become the most powerful person in the room until somebody else says they're willing to do it as well. and the problem you have right now is people like marjorie taylor greene are willing to go beyond what anybody for imagined is like regular order are good order in the house. we have to have people on the other side of that debate that are willing to do the same. so there are people that need to go to speaker johnson right now and say, look, if you don't put ukraine aid on the floor, we will vacate the chair or if you don't put ukrainian on the floor, will vote against every rule in or rule is required for a bill to go forward under a certain way and that would give him the cover and forced him to put it on the floor. and of course, he's going to have to cut he's going to have to do this. he's going to have to cut a deal with the democrats to get, to get this through. and i think that's a good thing for democracy to be quite honest with you yeah, i mean you know,
7:13 am
there was a time when both parties work together from time to time up on capitol hill, maybe a faint memory, but it did happen. and i mean, mike johnson remains defiant he put it this way yesterday. let's talk about this i am not resigning and it is it is in my view an absurd notion that someone would bring a vacate motion when we are simply here trying to do our jobs. >> it is not helpful to the cause. it is not helpful to the country. we need steady leadership, we need steady hands of the wheel. look, i regard myself as as a wartime speaker what did you make of that when he said a wartime speaker what does that mean well, i thought he was right in saying that this is not good for the country. >> i mean, it really, regardless of your feelings and speaker johnson, this is just this makes us look bad. it's bad the wartime speaker thing was odd because first off, you
7:14 am
know, i don't know if this is war time. certainly there's conflicts around the world but secondly, if you're going to call yourself a wartime speaker, you need to act like a wartime speaker and the fact that we are what, six months frankly after we should have passed aid to ukraine and what, four months, three months after the senate did. and it's been sitting in the house, don't call yourself a wartime speaker. if you're unwilling to do what needs to be done in war time. and this is, i think a big issue that we need to change the way we're looking at, look, we are helping ukraine okay, let's be clear. ukraine is helping us. yes, they're doing it to defend their own country, but they are fighting one of the chief enemies of the united states who's made it clear that they want to see the united states fall and frankly, russia, iran, china, north korea is this kind of access that two working together, ukraine is the only one doing kinetic fighting against the russians. they're fighting for us. so we're not helping ukraine. they're
7:15 am
helping us. >> and it is essential for us to remember that and get them the tools they need to defend themselves. i i did want to ask you about this because it gets it gets too i think where we are as a country right now and the level of discourse that we have in this country right now. and i know you and i've talked about this on a number of occasions. i'm sure you've seen this demonstrators opposed to the war in gaza been shutting down traffic can cities across the country on bridges and so on. and republican senator tom cotton of arkansas went on twitter, formerly x, formerly known as twitter, and to urge people whose routes were inconvenience to quote, take matters into your own hands. he later edited the posed to say that people should take matters into their own own hands. just to give protesters out of the way. he made similar comments like this on fox, where you kind of echo sort of double down on the remarks what did you think of all that when you saw that?
7:16 am
>> well let me tell you about tom cotton. so tom first off, let me just say quit shutting down the highways. everybody. first off, right. >> it's stupid. secondly, dangerous. third, you're not convincing anybody. you're actually turning people against your cause. now, tom cotton the thing about him is an i served with him in the house. >> he always loves to go on fox and talk tough and sound like a real, tough guy. >> and that's what he was trying to do in this tweet. the reality is, he's actually not that tough. and you can see when he has subservient to donald trump, particularly when you look get things like ukraine and how he hasn't really spoken out kind of like lindsey graham, look, it is dangerous. what tom cotton said, because there is somebody that's gonna take that as marching orders. and as much as i disagree with shutting down highways for these protesters, nobody deserves to die over it. and that's the danger here. and the other thing is again, he is divorced from the consequences. it is easy as a guy that uses twitter, it's easy to tweet anything you
7:17 am
want, but to realize that your words have an impact and can have an impact on people's lives. you need to think that through tom cotton is a try hard. tom cotton is a pretend tough guy. he's actually not that tough. and that's i think what you saw on twitter is just trying to sound like mr. tough-guy yeah. well adam, i mean, there are some on the republican side who trump apologists who will say, well, the folks who were up on the capitol on january 6 they were just protesting and it got out of control and there was a riot nobody was out there saying, take matters into your own hands and go after those guys in the way that tom cotton is saying, go after these protesters who were tying up traffic somewhere well, that's true. and also, these protesters that are tying up traffic aren't threatening the transition of power in the self-governance in the united states. >> and this is where a lot of people that think that somehow this is january 6 was equivalent to the summer riots, by the way, i was activated with the national guard. i worked the summer riots in
7:18 am
2020, but it was very different. you can burn parts of the city down is terrible as that is, and not threatened self-governance. january 6 was a threat to self-governance and has had the potential of frankly changing how we look at the transition of power and failing at that all right, adam kinzinger always appreciate the time. thanks a lot silicon, as israel is preparing a response to iran's weekend attack, the us is looking at more sanctions against iran, but will it be enough to send a message that's next? >> there's new ally in the fight against climate change. this is in carpus is blue carbon. >> we just need to protect nature will do the rest corbyn let's cnn fill sunday at nine that's smell. could be 8 million older causing bacteria. good thing, adding lysol

7:23 am
tony blinken is in italy for a key meeting with us allies, a critical topic at hand and impending response from israel after a direct attack from iran over the weekend, pressure is growing for israel to back away from a military strike and opting for more international sanctions instead get in chief national security correspondent alex marquardt joins us now, alex it sounds like the international pressure that has been building on israel is growing, but it's not really clear whether or not that's going to deter what netanyahu ultimately decides to. >> netanyahu today is essentially saying, we hear what you're saying, but we're going to do what we want to do. this g7 eating in capri and italy is going to be really interesting because those countries do want to get on the same page in terms of new sanctions for iran, which the us has already talked about it in terms of sanctions against iran, drone and missile programs, the irgc, the defense ministry, but at the same time, they want to get on the same page in terms of the pressure on israel to essentially not do anything in the message from the us, the uk, who by the way they were part of that coalition on saturday that to help defend israel is guys
7:24 am
equilibrium has been re-established. you attack the iranian consulate in damascus. they attacked, you needed a great job defending yourself. so why don't you stop? hold back and refocus on the war in gaza, which exactly what the british foreign minister david cameron said to netanyahu today. he was, he was visiting israel. take a listen a little bit more clear. >> the israelis are making a decision to act. we hope they do so in a way that does is little to escalate this as possible. and in a way that as i said yesterday is smart part as well as tough, but the real need is to refocus back on hamas, back on the hostages, back on getting the aydin backing on, back on getting a pause in the conflict in gaza so jim there is a real sense that israel does want to do something. what that is, we simply don't know there does appear to be real division among the israeli war cabinet about the path forward. >> yeah. and how does this
7:25 am
affect the war in gaza mean that that is still going on? it is. and i think david cameron made that point right there that we need to refocus on it. this is we haven't really talked it's about the war in gaza in the past few days. it is a war that is still very much going on. people are still dying. they're still hundreds of thousands of people on the brink of starvation. what it has done in concrete terms is it appears to have delayed talk about the rafah offensive, the planning for the rafah offensive. israelis, me, americans i'm talking about that quite intensely. and israel still hasn't given a plan that the us feels is suitable to be able to move hundreds of thousands of people out of, out of rafah so that they can go in and they say continue their efforts to dismantle hamas all right. >> alex marquardt, very busy week on your on your beat, alex. thank you very much. i want to bring in jonathan chancellor, who is the senior vice president for research at the nonpartisan foundation for the defense of democracy, and a former terrorism finance analysts who has developed sanction packages against
7:26 am
al-qaeda and hamas. we're also joined by our friend get cnn military analysts, kernel cedric leighton retired from us air force. jonathan, let me start with you. you're meeting with israeli official talking with folks in israel. >> what do they saying? does it sound like? i mean, what these signals that we're getting from prime minister netanyahu, was that something is going to happen. it's just a matter of time i think that's right. it does look like there will be some kind of an attack whether it is a measured one, whether it is commensurate with the numbers that we saw the other night remains unclear. do think the israelis are still taking their time? i think their rationale is that the iranians took their time and responding to that strike on that facility near the iranian embassy in damascus, it was of course, not an embassy, not a consulate. it which has been a source of set debate. but the israelis are saying, look, they let us do in our juices for a week or two, we can do the same. there's no rush here that does seem to be
7:27 am
part of the calculus what is interesting though is they keep saying look, if you are trying to tell us to stop or to hold back, just a diplomatic response won't work. perfunctory sanctions won't work. i do believe that there are some things at the united states might dangle, whether they be weapons packages, maybe a true effort to push his bullet north of the litani river in lebanon. in other words, the us i think has its work cut out for it in terms of just simply trying to appeal to what the israelis need right now, if the goal is indeed to get them to stand down yeah. >> i mean, not a lot of great options for the international community watching all of this in terms of contemplating what israel might ultimately decide to do, kernel leighton, what do you think israel wanted to strike back at around but doing it in a way that did not trigger an automatic very aggressive response from the iranians. what might they do yeah, that's very interesting
7:28 am
question, jim, i think in that particular case, they will always get some kind of a response from the iranians. >> but if they wanted to go as small or mild, i would say it would be something like a cyber attack, but limited cyber attack would be something that would probably affect say, the military networks that iran uses or attentionally, the nuclear networks. and of course, the uranian know a lot about having that kind of an impact. now if they go big or medium, then there are several other options. for example, you have bases everywhere from temporaries to school, all the way down to have a heart that could potentially be targeted. plus, tehran is a pretty lucrative area for targeting as well. and that would indicate a really high level maximum response that probably escalate things. but if the iranians are going to respond to something like this, they are going to do it probably like their
7:29 am
president announced. in other words, anything that the israelis do, we'll get our response. and that is going to of course be a significant issue going forward for the g7, as well as for everybody else involved in this. >> yeah. jonathan, i mean, after october 7, i mean, there seem to be kind of a universal recognition around the world that israel was going to have to respond. >> it was going to have to do something to punish hamas. there doesn't seem to be that uniformity. after what the iranians did over the weekend, maybe, perhaps in part because of what alex was just saying a few moments ago, the israelis did the allies in such a spectacular job in defending israel. but i mean the former israeli prime minister a hoot omero said, israel needs to focus on the hostages. he doesn't really want to see netanyahu go overboard here it sounds as though there's a mixed feelings about all of this inside israel. but what to do, how to press forward here? >> yeah, i mean, i think with all respect to former prime minister olmert, i think he's got it exactly wrong. in fact, if anything right now, hamas really looks like small fries
7:30 am
compared to what just happened. the iranians have surrounded the israelis with multiple proxy armies, not just hamas, but his bulba, the houthis, shiite mullis, militias in iraq and syria they've been waging a proxy war against israel for the last six months. i think the world has not awake into that. and now the iranians are attacking israel directly. the israelis, i think at this point are feeling like they have no choice but to go at the head of the snake here and to make them pay a severe price. this by the way, it is the war. it's the real war right now. israel versus a run these other groups are really not the issue. and i think that it is, it's backward thinking right now and i heard david cameron say the same thing that we need to get back to hamas hamas is 95% finished. the israelis are on the five yard line. they can finish that one whenever they like, they need to think about how to deter iran, which by the way, is on the precipice of a nuclear weapon yeah. >> but colonel leighton, i mean, there's a lot to be said for what jonathan has saying,
7:31 am
but there's also the potential is there not for this thing to really spiral and really get ugly and get sort of inflamed in a way that it's going to be very difficult for the international community to contain it in terms of spillover in the region and just becoming a very messy conflict. >> yeah, that's that's for sure. igm it one of the key things to remember this could be a world war i like moment. >> in other words, where everybody gets together, they get different messages. everything's mixed up, and then all of a sudden you find yourself in danger conflicts. so this is the challenge jonathan is right in the sense that this is it's the role of war is between iran and israel and it also isn't real pseudo alliance, even sub rosa alliance between some of these suny lead governments in the region. eye on israel sayyed, more or less against the shiites in iran. and that's batch element is also part of
7:32 am
this. so it's a very combustible situation and the risk of escalation is extremely high all right. >> jonathan fans or kernel leighton, thanks to both of you really appreciate it delicate time this week coming up, what we're learning about the seven juror seated donald trump's hush money trial. that's how it really happened. sunday, april 28, bit nine on cnn and sunglasses lactate brand vinyl

opening statements in this case on monday. now, what we expect tomorrow is that the judge will bring in a new panel of 96 jurors, and this process that we saw play out over the past day and a half will continue. they will go through the 42 the questions on that questionnaire. the judge will ask if anyone believes they can't be fair and impartial those will be excused. then the attorneys for both the prosecution and trump's team will have a chance to question these jurors 30 and it's each, and then they will begin the process of striking jurors on trump, speaking out on a social media post today, making complaint anything about this process saying that he thought he had an unlimited number of strikes? that's not true. there is ten strikes per party based on the law for what he was charged with. and the judge reiterated that during a hearing earlier this year, we're trump was in attendance, now, both the prosecution and defense have already used six strikes, so they each have four more so the judge just thinking that that is very possible over the next two days, we will be able to seat this jury and they're looking for 12 jurors and at least six alternates.

7:44 am
tell us boeing really on the defensive already ahead of these dueling hearings in the senate. and we'll hear from the whistleblower who alleged last week that the 787 is unsafe the whistleblower's name is sam salehpour. he was a quality engineer on the 787 line he saw the big sections of the seven, eight it's seven fuselage being joined together and he says the gaps in those pieces are simply too big, which creates stress and where which could lead to fatigue, failure over time. now boeing, boeing, and since there was no evidence of that and they 16 years at the 787 has been flying. there are about 1,100 flying worldwide i'd none launched to a crash salehpour was on nbc ahead of this hearing and he takes this accusation one step further. here is the section of that interview in which he says the 787 is at risk of falling out of the sky the plane will fall apart at the joints where the we talking about once you
7:45 am
fall apart, you're going to descend all the way to the ground i don't really the asian administration says it's investigating this allegation. >> boeing held a press briefing on monday, but executives would not comment directly on salah pores allegations. here though, is the statement from boeing. boeing says we are fully confident in the 787 dreamliner. these claims about structural integrity of the 787 are inaccurate and do not represent the comprehensive work boeing has done to ensure the quality and long-term safety of the aircraft. remember, this is just the latest chapter in the years long saga of boeing issues to seven, max crashes in 2018 and 2019 killed 346 people abroad, led to a 20 month long ground founding in the then this past january, there was the door-plug blowout on an alaska airlines 7307 max nine. but remember this latest accusation has to do with the 787, not the 7307, but 787 has not been without its problems, deliveries of new seven, eight
7:46 am
sevens, were paused in 2021 and 2022 because of quiet quality issues. some of that because the tolerances are so tight, the gaps boeing wants between the main fuselage parts are about five, one thousands of an inch. we're talking about the width of two sheets of paper, about the width of a human hair boeing says, in some cases, really not necessary for things to me that tight. and so they've allowed themselves a little bit of leeway depending on certain scenarios, yeah. >> i mean it's just been a long series of very tough questions for boeing. they've got to provide some answers. absolutely are pete muntean. thanks for staying on top of this. we appreciate trump media stock has plunged, are has been plunging over the last several days, but right now, it's been bouncing back just a bit. >> are we can show its stock price up on screen. we can give you the latest that's been just, just to touch higher today, but yesterday is 14% drop. there is 13% today, but yesterday is 14% drop comes after the company's premier product truth, social announced it is expanding into streaming.
