I tell you how Modi flipped the script and went from working in finance. to Comedy a few laughs on this Monday

morning

I know we love it's great to have one starting a week in the script.

It's very good, good morning, it's good to have you with us. I'm Joe Frier and I'm Savannah Sers, let's get started. A new week here in New York, where former President Trump today faces a deadline to post bail of more than $450 million in his civil fraud case to prevent his assets from being attacked. Mr. Trump has said that he is challenging the ruling in the case and will take it to the Supreme Court if necessary. Those sanctions against Trump and his company arise from a lawsuit filed by New York Attorney General Laticia James after a months-long trial.

Last month, a judge ordered Trump to pay more than $354 million in damages. a number that increased because a hearing to set the start date of the trial in the criminal hush money case against former President Trump was also scheduled for today. He is expected to appear in court for that hearing which is scheduled to begin at 10:00 a.m. ET, his motorcade arrived at Trump Tower overnight. The trial was originally supposed to begin today, but the judge pushed back the start date by 30 days. Trump is now accused of falsifying business records in connection with $130,000 in alleged hush payments his former attorney Michael Cohen made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

Trump pleaded not guilty to the charges in his against and breaks it all down for us. We're joined by NBC News national correspondent Yasmin Mugan in lower Manhattan, and NBC News legal analyst Danny Savalos is here. with us in the studio, so Yasmin, lots of New York-focused legal

news

. Let's start with you, that deadline the former president faces today to pay the money owed in his civil fraud case. He says he has the money which seems to contradict his lawyers last week. Where are the things? What could we start to see today? A great day, guys, this morning here at 100 Center Street, where the former president will be later today, when the trial begins around 10:00 a.m. m.

I'm not sure if the

news

. today is the press list and what's going to happen inside that courtroom, but let's talk first about the deadline when it comes to the $464 million that the former president owes right now for those appeals. Bond says like you said you have he has the money that was Thursday night where he took out two following and where he said he had $500 million and then he said he had a lot of cash and his lawyers, although he said that in reality He doesn't have the money. For the former president, it is the true social networks, Trump's media will begin to be publicly traded today.

Forbes estimates the valuation could bring him $3 billion, so think he could use his, for example, shares of Trump's real social media and media as collateral. If he wants to get those half a billion in loans from a wealthy donor or a bank, he will have to ask his board of directors for permission to use those shares as collateral, but let me tell you who is on that board, one of whom is his. His son Donald Trump's son along with three former members of the Trump Administration, so the likelihood of the board saying yes, going ahead and doing that is pretty high, so we'll be watching today because Tish James has already said that would move. confiscate some of his properties, whether or not he gets that money today is really in question, but again, it's a real social hit the market by trading publicly, um, we'll wait and see Danny, we know the appeal here will come through of the State Court.

What would the Supreme Court's options be if this finally got there? They have no options because if you're talking about the Supreme Court of the United States there's really no way the Supreme Court can even take this case. There really is no jurisdictional hook. Not every case can be appealed in every court all the way to the Supreme Court, you must have a federal reason, most of the time that reason is based on the Constitution, if you are a criminal defendant for example, your rights to search and seizure have been violated. something like that, but you do not automatically have the right to go to the federal Supreme Court of the United States, in all likelihood this is a case that involves purely state issues and the most you can appeal to is from the new now, this is where gets confusing in New York state the trial court is actually called the Supreme Court, from there you can go to the appellate division and then from there you can go to what is called the appellate court which is effectively the Supreme Court of New York in which it is the highest court in the country, will it go to the court of appeals?

I probably think the appeals court would accept it even if the issues aren't novel because it's Trump and things change when it's Trump, but in all likelihood that's the case. As far as it goes, it won't reach the Supreme Court of the United States. Okay, let's talk about the hush money case. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Brg did not object to Trump's legal team's request for that 30-day delay, now that we know Trump wants us to postpone 90 days, but doesn't want it to last that long, what can we expect? today? He wants this to go out the window completely.

That's not going to happen. Today was supposed to be the start of trial day jury selection um, but because of that later delay we're probably going to learn two things today, the first and most important is the actual trial date. We will have a trial date set today. This second is an explanation of why 170,000 documents were delivered. to Trump's lawyers so late in the game, just in the last few weeks, by the way, Moran really wants an explanation of why that happened to then decide when this trial will start and you guided people through the delays and The delay motions from Trump's lawyers.

I think the other thing is that Bragg and his lawyers are arguing that, even though they turned over 170,000 documents to Trump's lawyers, only 300 pages of those documents actually pertain to this actual case. in which they should be able to read them, review them in the next two weeks in order to start a trial within the next 20 days or so, those are the two things that we are going to look for as arguments. made by uh da Bragg's office about why this happened, this delay happened and then the trial, guys, Danny, let's talk about some details about what we were able to see, you know, when this actually starts, so the judge who presiding over the case had denied the former president's attempt to try to prevent Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen from taking the stand, uh, but there are some restrictions here, especially when it comes to Daniel's testimony, how will that affect things?

This is a rare look at what are called lemonade motions. These are motions that lawyers like me file before a trial to even out the issues and you usually ask for a lot and hope to get somewhere in the middle. I don't know if Trump's lawyers really thought there was a chance that they would be able to exclude Stormmy Daniels or Michael Cohen, especially Michael Cohen, he's the star witness in my opinion of the Manhattan DA's case, so in all likelihood they weren't going to completely bar you from appearing, but what you can do is ask the judge to consider different areas of testimony that you shouldn't go into and usually they have to do with relevance or maybe they're too prejudicial or maybe are redundant, so here are some wins for the Trump team and you can win a lot. of a criminal case in the Motions process in Limón because if the judge excludes critical information from the case then that jury will never hear those bad things, okay, Danny yasine, thank you both for starting us on this hour, we really appreciate it.

As of this morning, four suspects are detained and charged in connection with Friday's deadly terrorist attack on a concert hall in Moscow. At least 137 people died yesterday. Russia honored those who were killed with one day tomorrow. NBC News international correspondent Matt Bradley has mourned Moscow the most. "A rare silence over this city comes after Russia suffered the deadliest terrorist attack in 20 years. That's why we stand with the country, we stand together," he said this morning. The death toll rose again to 137, according to Russia's government, including three children, as emergency workers continued. Searching for more dead under the rubble of this great concert hall and investigators search for clues.

A survivor recounts the terrifying moments when gunfire erupted. People were trying to run for safety and then, seeing the bodies on the ground, it was clear that they had no signs of life. We realized. after that there would be no hostage taking he said we had to do something to escape because someone was coming to kill two of the suspects were seen in a video released by Russian authorities when the police transferred them to investigators, but more than 80 people are Igor's wife is still missing among them pv yes C I ran among the ambulances looking among the teams and asked questions, he said, but I couldn't find anyone.

The Islamic State quickly claimed responsibility for Friday night's attack, a claim that U.S. intelligence backed the group, even releasing a video. showing the gunmen filming themselves as they walk around City Hall hunting down victims and shooting them at point-blank range, but Russian officials, including President Vladimir Putin, have repeatedly implicated Ukraine. The US government fears that Putin will use the attacks as a pretext to rally support for his war. in Ukraine Matt Bradley NBC News Well, the U.N. is mourning because more people in Gaza could starve after Israel said it would no longer allow food convoys from the U.N.

Palestinian refugee agency into the northern part. of the Unra Enclave, as it is known as the largest aid group operating in Gaza, the head of the agency made the announcement yesterday in a post on x, calling the decision scandalous and calling for restrictions to be lifted, saying that many more people will die of hunger and dehydration. The worsening humanitarian situation comes as the United Nations Security Council prepares to vote again on a new ceasefire proposal. Well, the Secretary-General of the United Nations says he is increasing pressure on Israel to stop its attack on Gaza. I see a growing consensus emerging in the international community to tell the Israelis that the ceasefire is necessary and I also see a growing consensus.

I heard it in the US. I heard it in the European Union, not to mention, of course, the Muslim world. A growing consensus to clearly tell the Israelis that any Rafa ground invasion could mean a catastrophic humanitarian disaster joins us now. is NBC News International correspondent rap sanche as well as Hagar shamali, she is the host of om my world on YouTube and former North Carolina director for Syria and Lebanon. Good morning to you both, Raph, I'll start with you, so explain to us this decision by Israel to Stop UN food convoys from entering North Goda, remind us what happened there and then tell us the reaction to this type of measure and the impact it could have.

Savannah. Good morning, yes, the UN says that the last time Del was able to deliver food to northern Gaza was on January 29, almost 2 months ago, it says that since then it has been applied several times to the Israelis and the military to carry that food north of Gaza. They have been denied each time without being given specific reasons and say they learned on Sunday from Israel that there is now a blanket ban on any UN food deliveries to northern Gaza despite the warning that it is now coming. a famine there. The UN says this will only lead to more deaths, like youHe said, They are calling this scandalous and saying this. it is making what is already a man-made crisis much worse now that UNRA has been in the crosshairs of the Israeli government for decades there is no love lost between these institutions Israel accuses ANRA of perpetuating the Palestinian refugee problem instead trying to resolve it and have accused UNRA employees of participating in the October 7 attacks by crossing into Israel and kidnapping hostages themselves.

The Israeli government today says that the UNRA is citedly contaminated with terrorism and says it needs to be disbanded so that they are not trying to hide at all. that are preventing this agency from delivering food what you will hear from other humanitarian organizations is whatever animosity there is between Israel and unra unra is the only show in Gaza City is the only organization with the scale and capacity to address this crisis and that if they remove unra from the equation it will only lead to an already terrible situation, especially in northern Gaza, getting worse, guys, let's bring them here, the United Nations Security Council is expected to vote again today on Another resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza for the remainder of Ramadan comes after the US resolution itself was blocked.

Will this one be different? No. The United States is expected to veto today the resolution that has been drafted by China and Russia and why. because that's because it doesn't mention the hostages at all, it doesn't ask that they be released or demand that Hamas release them in exchange for this ceasefire, and there's also another aspect of this, which is that the United States, along with Egypt and Qar continues to mediate negotiations between Israel and Hamas over a six-day ceasefire, apparently over the weekend some improvements were made, or just you know, it's getting a little closer to an agreement on how many of the 40 hostages Hamas would release. out of 130, how many of those 40 would be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners?

Israel had accepted the number and now that proposal is in Hamas's lap awaiting their response, so the US view is that if this resolution were passed it would undo all that work and Hamas would have no incentive to accept that ceasefire. , but either way the United States will veto it, the problem with that is that it will only make the United States government look horrible in this situation when it is actively trying to work on this other path, Raph, this is all happening alongside the talks of ongoing ceasefire as you have been discussing part of this resolution, but also generally we understand that you have an update for us, what are you listening to?

Yes, Savannah, then CIA Director Bill Burns was in Qatar over the weekend is one of many trips he has made to the Middle East or Europe to try to get these talks on track, as AAR said it seems that There has been a slight improvement over the weekend. I spoke to an Israeli. official this morning they say they are putting the chances of a deal in the near future at 5050, which is not very optimistic but is more positive than what we heard from the Israelis the other week. They say they are currently waiting for an agreement. formal response from Hamas to a proposal that was drawn up with the help of the CIA director in Qatar over the weekend, a warning we have been here many times before, where the US, Israel, Egypt and Qatar can agree to something between them and send it. for Hamas it is a failure and we end up stuck since we are still boys and Hagar, you know, yesterday Vice President Kamla Harris appeared on ABC News and warned Israel against a ground offensive in Rafa, let's hear more of what she said.

A major military operation in Rafa would be a big mistake, let me tell you something. I have studied the maps, there is nowhere for those people to go and we are seeing about a million and a half people in Rafa who are there because they were told to do so. Come on, are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States? I don't rule out anything so hargar if there were consequences from the US, what might those be? Well, you've got some angles here, so from the US side when you have a situation like this where Israel can end up causing not only this humanitarian catastrophe, but one of the things that Secretary Blinkin was about warning Netanyahu is that this could have problems for decades to come and could create this war to become a long insurgency in which there are Basically, they took these individuals, these civilians into the arms of the enemy and now they are going to take up arms , the terrorists are the ones who will welcome them, causing a problem that will last decades, and so what happens with that is that in the US you won't be able to have much control over how things look on Capitol Hill, for For example, when they appropriate foreign aid, they will probably discuss or already discuss how to condition it wherever it may be. becomes tenuous I don't think the friendship is going anywhere, but when you condition that aid and the United States is really the only friend left, things become very difficult for Israel's future.

Hagar and Raph, thank you both so much for the campaign. Both President Biden and former President Trump are still on the path to a 2024 election rematch, having already secured their respective party nominations and over the weekend both nominees easily won the Louisiana primary, the president is still awaiting the results of the Missouri primary. which should be published next week, NBC News senior national politics reporter Jonathan Allen joins us now, so John, uh, Louisiana, should tell us anything we don't already know. I would desperately love to tell you that, uh, analyzing the Louisiana results by looking at maps all weekend, I could tell you something prophetic that came out of those numbers, but the truth is, no, Joe Biden easily won the Democratic primary, Donald Trump won easily the republican primaries, with no real competition on either side, there isn't much. that you can extrapolate there, it wasn't a high turnout election, probably about 300,000 people voted between the two sides, there are about two million people who vote in the general election in Louisiana, okay John, I know you might have something for us. with undecided voters, the recent polls give us an in-depth look, they tell us what we're seeing but they also remind us how critical some of these voters could be in this particular election, this rematch, yeah, great question, Savannah, I mean , there were so many nearby states. in the last two elections and really going back to 2000, we've had historically close elections in terms of electoral votes outside of Maybe Barack Obama's re-election in I'm sorry, the first election in 2008, so the undecided voters are the premium voters. , those are the ones that, particularly in swing states, can really make the difference between who wins and loses the presidency, you know, what we see from swing voters is, a lot of what we see is dissatisfaction with the two candidates, but , you know, right now the polls show, broadly speaking, that Donald Trump is in the lead, and you know, that's part of it: undecided voters have moved a little bit from where they were in 2000, John, while we've got you the congressman from Wisconsin, Mike.

Gallagher announced that he will resign early. He is a Republican. He has not been afraid to criticize his own party. What impact might this have on House Republicans who have this narrow advantage? Yes, normally you would say that a congressman deciding that he is going to resign early rather than simply not seek re-election, which is what he had said before, was not really a big deal, but the margins are so close in the chamber that when Gallagher go in April, it will put the Republicans where they belong. I can afford to lose just one vote on any particular measure that comes to the floor, so if you're Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House, your margin of error has just been cut in half. and as we've seen, it's very difficult for him to do anything, you know, the way things are, actually, this is much bigger news than it normally would be, okay, John, thank you very much, I appreciate it, Let's catch you up now.

I'm fine and I'm getting stronger every day and the global reaction. It was immediate President Biden published Jill's post and I joined millions around the world in praying for her

recovery. Princess Kate, the British Prime Minister, added that the Princess of Wales has the love and support of the entire country and Kate's brother, James Middleton, posted over the years that we have climbed many mountains together as a family, We will climb this one with you too from California.

Prince Harry and Megan wish Kate health and healing and have reached out to the Welsh family privately. Having William by my side is also a great source of comfort and reassurance, as is the love, support and kindness that many of you have shown immediately following the announcement. King Charles is also undergoing cancer treatment and says he is very proud of his daughter-in-law. I think about her and the uh and hers. The outpouring of support for both of them and well wishes for both a speedy recovery has been hugely encouraging, as Kensington Palace says the couple had lunch on Friday ahead of the release of the video of this new experience.

For them, the two will truly cement what has long been a very affectionate bond between the king and his beloved daughter-in-law. You know you share many interests and now, with the kids on Easter break, a plea to Grant. privacy while she recovers as a family, now we need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment, for now I must focus on making a full recovery. Our thanks to Molly Hunter for that report. Join us now to learn more about this. It's Dr. Cedric Mcfaden. He is a board-certified surgeon and associate clinical professor of surgery.

Dr. Mcfaden thank you very much for being here, so we should start, of course, by saying that the royal family has not revealed what type of cancer the princess is being treated for or how advanced she is. The Little Information We Have Here I guess the first question is: we know this came after what they called a planned but major abdominal surgery in January, so what does that tell us about what they potentially could have discovered? that that's the type of surgery it was and then also explain to us this preventive chemotherapy that the princess mentioned she's undergoing, yeah, so it's not uncommon for us to call incidental findings of cancer after doing a procedure for an intentional reason, this idea of prevention. chemotherapy this is what we call aquate chemotherapy this is a type of treatment that is given are anti-cancer drugs that are given after the index procedures done to clean or kill any residual cancer cells that may be too small to see with the eye. or certainly left behind after any procedure is done, it is routinely done for cancers in earlier stages or for cancers that may have a propensity to spread later, so they are drugs that are given to reduce the risk that that cancer can return or may return in other places.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to receive constant chemotherapy. We do it often for Ral cancer, certainly also for breast cancer. Dr. Mcfaden, you know that we are seeing an increase in the number of younger adults being diagnosed with cancer, including people who are apparently healthy, like Princess Kate. How is the treatment of younger patients approached? Are there differences between the way you treat the youngest and the oldest? I think there are several, we certainly have to make sure that any medication they give us is appropriate for the type of cancer they are treating. Making sure that if the cancer is more aggressive, we are being aggressive with it.

I think we also need to remember that regardless of age, you know this is something that for the rest of your life we ​​could be dealing with for a longer time, instead of someone who is diagnosed in their 60s or 70s we could be following this particular cancer for years, so that surveillance will be expanded. It is also important that we consider individual treatment options that may have effects on either production if they wish to have more children or the overall effect on parenting or having a family. If you're a younger adult, you have different concerns when you do it than if you're 60 or 70 years old and I think there's certainly the emotional aspect and you know, psychological support is so necessary for anyone going through cancer, and we should also provide support, especially as a young adult, and for anyone at home who is worried about hearing a lot of these headlines and seeing someone like Joe points out as Princess.

Kate, who looks so healthy when this happens, we've talked a lot about the rise of colon cancer in young people, what people should be aware of, what they should ask their doctor, when something has really become a concern, Well, I think that, what, what, What I have understood is that cancer will be very different for my children, the way they see cancer is supposed to be the way I see cancer, you know, we see that there is certain types of cancer that are on the rise and that do not only occur in people over 60 years old. and 70 years also occurs between the ages of 40 and 30 color cancer breast cancer gastrointestinal cancer also I think it is important to remind people what the signs and symptoms of cancers such as tail cancer are rectal bleeding to change bowel habits and I think that It's really important to just raise concerns with your doctor and you may be having conversations sooner rather than later about many of these medical conditions, so find a good doctor early on and start these conversations about your risk factors and symptoms you might have. .

Really important information. Dr. Cedric MCB. Thank you. Thank you so much for joining us, thank you for coming, a kidnapping attempt caught on camera, the terrifying video and the quick thinking of the girl's mother that could have saved her life, stay with us, we are back with a video that will help you will stop the heart of an attempted kidnapping of a girl. In New York City, a ring camera captured the moment a New York mother sprang into action after a man forcefully grabbed her daughter.

An unexpected surge in home sales was something of a breath of fresh air for us in real estate. community and it definitely took us by surprise Tom Hernandez is a real estate agent in Los Angeles, he says that after two years of low listings, the market is finally relaxing, my production has probably almost doubled since the beginning of the year, both for buyers as for sellers, sales of existing homes on the rise. 99.5% nationally in February, the largest month-over-month increase in a year in the Western US, home sales soared 16.4%, this comes even as home prices continue to rise and mortgage rates, although lower than their peak last year, remain stubbornly high trying to see 3% mortgage rates 4% are out of the question 5% I think it's hard to get there, but I think consumers are understanding that 6% 7% are the new normal and they are simply looking for more options, so what is behind this?

Surprise heat in the market for one thing, inventory has been rising for a couple of years, people have avoided putting their homes on the market because they wanted to keep their interest rates super low, but those rates have softened slightly and life happens , people need to get moving, so that's starting to change.

Looking forward to that too, thank you so much for joining us in Savannah, amazing conversation, finally at this hour there are new plans to bring back to life the extinct animals from the Jurassic Park theme song like The Woolly Mammoth, but not everyone in the community scientists are on board. NBC News correspondent Morgan Chesy takes a look at Colossal Biosciences in Dallas the mission is clear to combine cutting-edge science with high-tech tools to achieve a goal of prehistoric proportions we are less than 5 years away from seeing the mammoth back on the planet Not whether it's going to happen when it's going to happen is simply a function of time, so there are actually two of them, which is why co-founder and CEO Ben Lamb says now is the time to embrace the term extinction, the process of creating an extinct species or at least an animal that resembles it.

One in the colossal case of The Woolly Mammoth, which became extinct approximately 4,000 years ago, the company announced a breakthrough in how to essentially reprogram Al's cells, allowing Colossal to recreate his modern version of a mammoth. You'd be forgiven if all of this sounds like that. Your scientists were so worried about whether they could or couldn't that they didn't stop to think if they should. We've heard the Jurassic Park comparison once or twice at this point, we're not going to take, you know, dinosaur DNA and put in frog DNA. We're not taking mammoth DNA and putting in elephant DNA, we're actually doing it with an exact reverse Asian elephant DNA to be exact because, according to Colossal, it's the closest living relative to its prehistoric predecessor, a 99.6 match. % essentially begins the return of the cunning mammoth. here, yes, absolutely, we're joined by Dr.

Ariona Holi, lead researcher on the woolly mammoth project, so we're essentially looking at an Asian elephant in cellular form that's actually colossal and she says this process will allow them to not only bring back other extinct animals but also save animals. on the brink of extinction and even improve the environment by restoring the animals to their former habitats, although Colossal admits that this is an important advance, the company emphasizes that we do not expect to see real life from mammoths for at least the next few years, but In the scientific community there are researchers who not only have questions about it, but are also concerned: first of all, it is not really a mammoth, it is a mutated agent elephant.

Dr. Vincent Lynch specializes in genetics and evolutionary biology at the University at Buffalo and emphasizes that timing is everything in raising them. Going back now is not to replace something that was once there, but to put an invasive species in an environment it has never been in before. There is 1% in the back of your mind where something could go wrong. We are doing the best. We may be able to collaborate with all the leading scientists, bioethicists and conservationists around the world to ensure that everything goes as well as possible, but there will always be some risk in any large moonshot for Society.

A mammoth-sized moonshot coming soon Morgan Chesky NBC News Dallas, alright, okay, it looks like you're not wild, which is potentially possible now and do we really need to do it so you can have a pet, Willy? Okay, let's do it during this hour, the morning news, now, stay with us so that the news continues right now good morning I'mSavannah cers I'm Joe Frier right now on the morning news now it's deadline day for former President Trump New York attorney general can now try to collect that $450+ million bail from civil fraud trial but the question remains : Can Mr.

Trump come up with the money to pay it and what might happen if he can't? We'll break down what's at stake in a moment. We are also seeing wild spring weather hitting much of the Midwest and Northeast over the weekend even more snow fell further south a severe storm threat continues today with torrential rain hail even possible tornadoes got your full forecast Monday tomorrow in just a moment a somber split screen in Moscow over the weekend the four men suspected of carrying out Friday's deadly mass shooting appearing in court the city mourns the more than 130 people who have now died and what We know about those suspects and the broader questions now swirling around Vladimir Putin's response to the tragedy plus the solar eclipse fever heating up the tourism boom behind a once-in-a-lifetime cosmic spectacle that's now just two weeks away. two weeks from today I know you're excited about the eclipse, right?

I'm getting excited about the eclipse, in fact last week I had an amazing conversation with a community. called Eclipse Chasers people who spend their lives waiting for the next one traveling the world, so I'm going to bring that conversation to you, you're very excited, okay, let's start this hour with the legal challenges surrounding former President Trump. Today is the deadline for Trump to post bail of more than $450 million resulting from the sentencing of the New York civil fraud case against him and his company. Trump says he is challenging the ruling and plans to take the case to the Supreme Court if necessary in the meantime.

The president is expected to be in a Manhattan courtroom this morning in his hush money payment case. We could find out today when that trial will begin. NBC News Senior Legal Correspondent Laura Jarrett has the details this morning. The former president is out of time so soon. While today the New York attorney general can begin collecting more than $450 million from Donald Trump in the fine for losing his civil lawsuit for financial fraud rejected by some 30 different insurers, Trump is now forced to cover the enormous fine for his account as he tries to appeal the February ruling that finds him responsible for lying about his wealth to get better offers from lenders.

No one has ever seen a bond this size. Every single person when I approached them I said, "Hey, can I get a $500 million bonus?" Maria, originally they were laughing at the judge. She found that Trump has $355 million, a figure she has continued to increase with more than $100,000 in interest accruing each day. We have a lot of cash and we have a great company, but they want to take it away. The former president's legal team asked an appeals court. to intervene, but without immediate relief, all of your assets, buildings, homes, even bank accounts, are now potentially at stake, a move the Attorney General anticipated last month if you do not have funds to pay the judgment, then we will look to, you know , sentence. law enforcement mechanisms in court and we will ask the judge to seize his assets as Trump tries to defend himself from a personal financial crisis, his criminal exposure has not gone away as he faces charges of hiding a money payment to a porn star before the 2016 elections, the presumptive Republican candidate.

A trial in that case was scheduled to begin today in a Haden courtroom, but has been stalled by delays. Mr. Trump returns to court today as the judge upsets a defense team asking for even more time. Well, thanks to Laura Jarrett for that report. While the judge presiding over the secret money case last week rejected Trump's request to prevent his former lawyer Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels from testifying, the United Nations Security Council is also expected to vote on a new resolution this morning. calling for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire. In Gaza, days after a US-sponsored resolution was blocked, pressure for a ceasefire comes as the UN warns that more people could starve in Gaza following Israel's decision to ban entry of convoys of food from the UN agency for Palestinian refugees to the northern part of El Enclave NBC News Inter National correspondent RF Sánchez joins us from Tel Aviv rafh good morning, let's start with this vote of the Security Council of the UN, what makes this ceasefire resolution different from previous ones and what do we think about US support here Savannah, good morning, so I don't know at this point if the US is going to support this resolution or whether he is going to use his veto in the UN Security Council to block it.

On Friday, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N. said that, as it stands, the United States could not support this resolution, saying it potentially undermines ongoing negotiations in Qatar and did not explicitly link the ceasefire in Gaza to the release of hostages, something we saw in the US resolution introduced on Friday and then vetoed by both Russia and China. Now there has been some diplomacy in the Security Council over the weekend. This resolution may have been modified in such a way that the United States could support it, but early indications from the United States are that it does not plan to support it if the United States vetoes it, that would be the fourth time a resolution calling for a halt to the fire in Gaza, something that has increasingly left him isolated from the UN guys, so Raph, the pressure for a ceasefire is more urgent after the UN Palestinian aid agency known as UNRA said that Israel has banned their food. for trucks to enter northern Gaza, what is happening here reminds us of some of the background and the potential impact this could have in the future, yes, Joe, so here is the agreement.

Unra says the last time he was able to deliver food to northern Gaza was on January 29. Almost two months ago, she says that since then she has asked the Israelis several times for permission to go north; She has been blocked each time and that on Sunday the Israelis told them that they had a general ban: they will not go to northern Gaza under any circumstances. has provoked a strong response from the Secretary General of the United Nations who is here in the Middle East. I want you to hear that the decision not to allow convos to go to northern Gaza, where we have a dramatic famine situation, is totally unacceptable. and those who made that decision must take responsibility for the consequences of the decision in relation to the dramatic situation of the people in northern Gaza, such unusually forceful words from the Secretary-General of the United Nations that they basically say that the people are going to dies as a result of this Israeli decision now the UNRA has been in sites in Israel for decades, accuses it of perpetuating not trying to solve the Palestinian refugee problem and says that several UNRA employees participated in the October 7 massacre, some of them crossing Israel is said to be directly involved in the kidnapping of Israeli hostages.

UNRA says it has fired all those suspected of being involved, but the Israelis say Anra is tainted by terrorism and say that agency needs to be dissolved. Guys, we know that the hostage ceasefire talks are still ongoing and we understand that you have some new details about where you are at the moment. What are you listening to? Yes, an Israeli official told me this morning that they feel the chances of a deal in the near future on 5050, which is obviously not very optimistic, but it's more. More optimistic than what we've been hearing from Israelis in recent weeks, it appears there was some progress in Qatar over the weekend.

CIA Director Bill Burns returned to the region trying to push those talks forward, but at this point there are no signs of an imminent breakthrough. Guys, okay, Rob Sanchez, thank you very much. Four men have been charged with terrorism and face life in prison in connection with one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in Russian history. More than 130 people were killed Friday during an ambush at a packed concert hall in Moscow. Isis has claimed responsibility for the attack, but Russian President Vladimir Putin is trying to link Ukraine to the attack. NBC News international correspondent Matt Bradley joins us with the latest Matt, good morning, good morning, guys, so the Russians observed an official day of mour yesterday, but this is a tragedy that will likely have political effects a long term today Moscow is mourning Russian President Vladimir Putin, among the many candles lit after Russia suffered the deadliest terrorist attack in 20 years on Friday.

I honestly thought it was a firecracker, this survivor said, but these cracklers were here they didn't stop there there were screams Panic at least 137 people were killed by four gunmen who roamed this huge concert hall shooting, throwing bombs and burning the building almost completely to the foundation they just walked around and methodically shot everyone in The silence said that the sound of Survivor was echoing and we couldn't understand what it was that emergency workers are still searching under the rubble and looking for clues. Russian authorities say they have already caught all four perpetrators. The Tajik citizens appeared in court yesterday evening showing signs of injuries.

The Islamic State Horasan or Isis K, an Isis affiliate based in Afghanistan, quickly claimed responsibility for the Friday night attack, a claim the US National Security Council backed by the same terrorist group as the suicide bombing. Kabell airport bombing killed at least 170 Afghans and 13 US service members during the chaotic US withdrawal. of Afghanistan in 2021, but despite the evidence and the group's own claims, Russian officials, including President Putin, are blaming a more familiar enemy: Ukraine, where the Russians have been fighting for the last decade. Ukraine's president denied the allegation and U.S. leaders also blamed Isis for the attack.

A different concern is that the Islamic State may be rising from the ashes in the Middle East, and American officials are worried that Putin will exploit this tragedy for his own political purposes by using it to rally support for his stalled war in Ukraine. Joe, it's okay, Matt, thanks. Rob, Deo joins us now for more analysis on this. He is the founder of Sierra 1 Consulting and a former member of the FBI hostage rescue team. Rob, thanks for joining us, so US officials say an offshoot of the Isis terrorist group called Isis K is behind this. First of all, what should we know about this group?

Well, Isis K was actually formed in about 2015. I was actually in Afghanistan in 2015 and 16 when they were forming out of the group in Syria and Iraq and it basically took a lot of little ones. The dissident groups that had greater ambitions in the Taliban, the Taliban were a national as you know, ruling Afghanistan, but there are others that want to form a caliphate and they are more violent and the Shiite laws are stricter, so they started bringing these groups together. and They started fighting the Taliban and the US, and it was really strange to see because we were watching the Taliban commanders against the predators and then we had seen Isis K attack and they were so brutal, I remember at one point.

The military commander was watching Isis C as the leader of the Taliban people and the commander just didn't know what to do to shoot a missile at it to stop it or not, but they are a violent group and they got a lot of international fame. Starting with that attack in August 2021, they increased their funding and I think a year later they really started looking to attack outside of that area, which is why we learned that the National Security Council said that the United States shared information with Russia to earlier this month about a planned terrorist attack.

In Moscow, what do you think of that and how do you think that information could potentially affect Putin's government just days after he won his fifth term in office? I think it is only for Humanity if we see an intelligence report that talks about killing civilians even if you are not friendly to the country or not, you will still warn them. You see, this group has attacked Iran. Now they are in Russia. They are doing things. In there I really think they are starting to hurt like Putin's aura of this Commander, you know, this author, authoritarian, dictator, he is in control and he just got re-elected with the highest number and I think that hurt him, it's not that we don't mind seeing it. that, but we don't want to see civilians killed by that in the long term, so a warning was definitely issued, because we've been seeing other warnings,You know, Putin didn't even mention Isis when he addressed the Russians about this attack, he hinted that Ukraine was connected to it.

Ukraine, of course, has denied the claims. The United States said Isis was behind it. Are you worried that he's trying to exploit this tragedy? Well, you know he's going to do it, but of course, you can't. knowing how to look back on our own as you know, they blamed us, we started saying that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 as a reason to go to Iraq and most people in the intelligence community knew that wasn't true and it turned out be not true, but politicians do not consider that they have goals that they want to see and sometimes they use information that way, he is definitely not going to do that, he will probably never come out and say that the United States tried. to warn him that he is always going to give this back to Ukraine to use because he sees it as a bigger threat than civilian deaths and he wants to take care of that, so if he can use this to his advantage, he definitely will.

Do it Rob, this was the deadliest attack on Moscow in decades, what should we think about intelligence, especially here in the United States, in terms of an approach after an attack as big as this? When I was briefing a group of senators and congressmen in Afghanistan in 2018, when I was running FBI Operations, I was actually saying that Al-Qaeda knew how they were planning, so when we started hearing intelligence we knew where they were in the process. process and at that moment Isis was pressing. individuals to drive vehicles in groups, which we saw here and it was much more difficult to stick to those plans because there was only one person in their basement now that you're seeing larger groups planning to do things like this, that's when we're getting into their systems. communication, so I think General Krilla made a comment.

I think last week in Congress about something six months from now with little to no warning here in the US. We are seeing things that we are definitely seeing. things that Europe saw some things, they had some small level attacks that were in early stages, but I think the US intelligence community is concerned about an attack here, probably within you know, General Krill said that six months. I think they understand it better, but it is By getting into that communication network, this attack will allow us to look and see what was there about it to understand how they are communicating and help us improve.

Well Rob Deo, thanks for your experience, we appreciate it now with the severe weather affecting millions of people. Across the country, another day of potentially dangerous conditions is expected today with no signs of winter letting up in this last week of March. NBC News correspondent Jesse Kersch is in Minneapolis with the latest on the weather. Jesse, good morning. Hello Joe, good morning, we woke up, it was. It rained and then turned to snow. Now it looks like it's drizzling again here in the Twin Cities, but this isn't the only area facing this rough start to spring.

This storm system causes headaches for much of the country overnight. Constant snow and howling winds. Hitting the plains with millions of Americans waking up this spring morning to a wintry snowball feels good, yes, it feels good outside of that Sunday storm system that not only brings snow to the Twin Cities but also generates at least four tornadoes reported according to National Weather. Service Kansas and Texas arrived at the end of a weekend of brutal weather. Parts of New York state and New England were covered in more than 2 feet of snow. I was hoping this would be over for the season, as high winds hit New York City on Saturday this An uprooted tree fell on a car and Philadelphia was hit with more than 3 inches of rain on Saturday alone in nearby Chester , Pennsylvania.

Authorities say a 6-year-old girl is missing after slipping in the mud and falling into the fast-moving waters of a creek. Rescue efforts ended Yesterday, on the other side of the country, rescuers carried out this daring rescue on Sunday in the fast-moving Los Angeles River, our station KBC captured the dramatic moments on camera, meanwhile, in the south, the climate threats severe conditions continue today. Multiple states are preparing for the possibility of flash flooding from hail. and tornadoes until tomorrow while we're back in the Twin Cities, let's enjoy this while we have it and make some snowballs and you know it's going to be tricky because we have mud on the ground, now there's more wet snow in the forecast for tomorrow here. in Minneapolis, but the biggest concern is the possibility of standing water, puddles turning to ice and I know that when we look at this disaster, Joe, when we talk to people on the streets here, this is spring in the Twin Cities and I know You're no stranger to the weather in this area, usually around this time of year the tennis season would start and we knew we'd have to shovel the courts and then we could play, gosh, or just play indoors, yeah, what did you do? what were you wearing? just shoveling snow yeah just shoveling snow and then or just going in it felt different okay so San Diego girl Jesse thank you I appreciate it thank you and now let's get that forecast with a check on your Morning News Now, NBC meteorologist Michelle Grman. shoveling so far, that's right, oh my gosh, that's so fun.

I'm just imagining you playing those sports with your tennis socks on your ex, but yes, we're seeing a lot of snow in some places up to a foot in the northeast corner of Minnesota, so the snow will spread from the northern plains, the upper midwest to the central plains that's where you see this blue and white here on the warm side we're looking at an opportunity for widespread rain heavy rain excessive rain in some places with some heavy downpours and also a chance for some storms that we could see uh Gusty winds damaging winds some hail that's not the biggest threat the biggest threat would probably be the chance of some tornadoes and some could be on the strong side so it's in the middle of the country, that's where most of it happens. of the weather today.

We have some snow in the Inner Mountain West and then in the Pacific Northwest we expect a mix of rain and snow, mainly rain along the Washington coast and also in Oregon. Here's the good news. We had a very wet day on Saturday in parts of the Northeast that are clear. Yesterday we had sun. Today, from New England to the Southeast, the temperature is not bad either, about normal for this time of year, where temperatures are not normal.

The palace will not reveal the type or stage of the cancer or how long the treatment will last, saying The princess has the right to medical privacy. In most cases, preventive or permanent chemotherapy lasts 3 to six months. Kensington Palace says Kate began her treatment at the end of February. It has taken us time to explain everything to George Charlotte and Louie in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I will be okay, many hope that by bravely opening up the princess can raise awareness and help others. The Princess of Wales' brave decision to speak publicly about her cancer diagnosis will no doubt have an incredible effect around the world. world not only for people who suffer from cancer but also for those who do not recognize the signs and symptoms of cancer and I believe this will be his lasting legacy throughout his life as cancer patients are increasingly diagnosed at a younger age.

Experts emphasize that early detection is key. The Princess of Wales sends a message to her fans around the world. world and those who may be facing their own battles with cancer to all who face this disease in any form, please do not lose faith or hope that you are not alone and the Princess of Wales will not be working for the time being while she undergoes your treatment.

She will not return to public duty until her medical team gives her the all-clear. Meanwhile, Kensington Palace says Princess Kate is in good spirits and focused on a full recovery Savannah Joe, okay Kelly, thank you very much, let's go to St on UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. is set to announce new plans to invest millions in the country's nuclear deterrent NBC's Josh Letterman has that and other world news Josh good morning hello good morning Joe the UK is doubling down on nuclear power and Prime Minister Rish Sunak He said the UK will spend $250 million to expand its nuclear workforce Sunak says it will be needed to ensure the UK can build new nuclear submarines and expand nuclear power.

The government here hopes it will support some 40,000 jobs and strengthen the nuclear deterrent that is now headed to Brazil, where police arrested two men for the murder of a popular and outspoken councilwoman in Rio de Janeiro 6 years ago 30 Mariel Franco, At 8 years old, she was the only black woman on the council and was killed in a shooting that generated headlines around the world.

Higher education minister Simon Harris, 37, won the election essentially by default, after no other candidate entered the race. came after former t-shuk Leo Varadar unexpectedly announced his res Nation last week citing personal and political reasons, guys, okay, Josh, thank you very much.Chaos ensued on Capital Hill this morning.

Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Green has filed a motion. to impeach House Speaker Mike Johnson, we have more on that and the GOP resignations that threaten the party's slim majority in the next chamber, stay with us. Welcome back. Republican President Mike Johnson faces more pressure from his own party this week. The GOP's slim majority grows even thinner with the early resignations of House Republicans. Johnson supported that $1.2 trillion funding package that was signed into law by President Biden on Saturday, following several failed attempts by Republican lawmakers to vote on a series of amendments to the bill NBC News Capitol Hill correspondent, Ryan Nobl, joins us from Washington with Ryan's latest report.

Let's start with that funding bill. A government shutdown was averted, but the package does not include funding for Israel for Ukraine. Republicans say they're still working on it, so tell us what was in the bill we saw in Congress this weekend. Well, it was a huge package, Joe, $1.2 trillion, it was over a thousand pages. , it will fund the government through September and it funds some important programs, of course, the state department, funds the Department. of Homeland Security and the Pentagon, there was actually some funding for Israel there, which has some progressive members of Congress, but largely ignores the important supplemental funding package that the White House is pushing that would provide direct aid to Israel.

Ukraine and Israel in their current conflicts and, very well, members of Congress worked until the last minute, in fact, they even went a little over the deadline to get this package over the finish line, it still leaves a lot of unfinished bus . There are businesses here in Washington and now they are in a two-we-break situation before they can address many of these big issues that still need to be addressed after the vote. Georgia Republican Marjorie Taylor Green filed a motion to expel Mike Johnson from office. As Speaker of the House, what else can you tell us about that and what might happen here in Savannah?

I'm very skeptical that this is really going to have any kind of serious momentum. I mean, when you talk to rank-and-file Republicans, there's a lot of angst. and anxiety about everything they went through in the fall, when they ousted Kevin McCarthy as speaker, there is no real alternative to Mike Johnson right now to become the next speaker of the house, and with all that being said, although there are many Ya You know, the concern among conservative Republicans is that Mike Johnson relied too much on House Democrats to pass this spending bill and they're also very concerned about the idea of ​​him putting money for Ukraine on the floor, although that he probably has overwhelming support from both Republicans. and Democrats that a relatively small sector of conservative Republicans are very opposed to funding Ukraine, so although I don't think this has the kind of UMP it needs to become a reality.

Anything could happen here in the next. couple of weeks and by Marjorie Taylor Green, you know, writing something, sending it for the record that leaves open the possibility, it's basically a cloud hanging over Mike Johnson's head about every decision he's going to make here for the next few Two weeks, Ryan. Here's another Cloud Wisconsin representative, Mike Gallagher, announcing that he will resign next month. This comes after Colorado Congressman Ken Buck served his last day in the House. in such a difficult position to be able to accomplish anything with a bare majority of what will amount to just one member in the next two weeks, he has to work with Democrats, but that's precisely what conservative House Republicans don't want him to do. make. what he needs to do is work with the Democrats and, you know, that puts him in a position here over the next two weeks where he's going to have to try to find a way to try to do some of these important things without angering that conservative flank .

What Joe could take is that if that override motion is implemented, if conservative Republicans try to remove him as president, it may be the Democrats who come to the rescue because they don't want to go through all the drama either. of trying to find another House Speaker I C spoke to a couple of House Democrats, uh, as they were leaving on Friday, who left open the possibility that they would work to save Mike Johnson if he's willing to legislate, so It might be an interesting twist to all of this that it may be the Democrats who could ultimately be their salvation here over the next two weeks.

Okay, that wasn't on the bingo card this year. It's okay Ryan, thank you very much, thank you. Now let's move on to the increase in squatters around the world. country this is more people refusing to leave homes they have no right to be in with some encounters even becoming violent NBC's Valerie Castro has more don't touch me don't touch me they are the guests of the house no one invited you are invading and me They are harassing squatters who feel at home outside my house is not their house. They are people who take over mostly empty properties that are not theirs.

A case in New York that even becomes deadly. Police now believe the 52-year-old man. Old Vel was killed by squatters, he is terrifying. Patty's people say she discovered two women and children on a Florida property. She was preparing to sell and filmed her intense confrontation with them. I had squatters cause $40,000 worth of damage, steal appliances, goodbye, at one point they even threatened. her with a tire iron, so you must want her to take this and break your phone. She says it took her more than a month to get them out. How did you feel? Frankly, it is one of the most frustrating and terrifying unfair experiences of my life. the burden of proof was on me not the tenants, it's unfair oh my god unfair because squatters take advantage of laws meant to protect tenants and often leave landlords defenseless.

You shouldn't try to rob my house. This video captured by New York's Eyewitness News has disappeared. viral a homeowner who tries to evict squatters is then handcuffed by police and thrown out of her own home. no charges were filed. New York attorney Margaret Corroza says squatting cases are increasing due to more vacant properties and the high cost of housing. they get away with it if they put out a fake lease or they put out a fake deed now it's a he said she said don't train them flash Shelton Who advises landlords on how to evict squatters says to protect your home setup cameras security your best protection is basically being able to document when someone comes in and call the police as soon as you find someone, please support this bill in Florida Patty is paving the way for change by advocating for new laws to fight squatting , What does he want?

Tell squatters across the country that the job is done. My hope is that within a year squatting will be a pandemic that is on the decline. How dare they? I own this house in the hope that its story empowers others to crush the squatters.

Lori Anne Goldman was the driving force behind many successful brands that have become household names such as Coca-Cola Avon North America and Spanx now in her latest As president and CEO of Tupperware Brands, she is helping to revive the iconic company that created job opportunities for women across the country.

It is an iconic brand and a staple of American kitchens for almost 80 years. Tupperware has kept our food fresh as Tupperware partied in the 1950s and '60s became a cultural phenomenon that helped bring women into the workforce. The company has fallen on tougher times in recent years, but now has a new leader in Lorianne Goldman. She's only a few months into her role as CEO of Tupperware, but Goldman brings 30 years of business experience at instantly recognizable companies. She spent 10 years in senior leadership roles at the Coca-Cola Company before becoming Spanx's first female CEO. who helped expand from a shapewear startup to a billion-dooll brand, even taking the product to the runway at New York Fashion Week from there she moved on to CEO positions at Avon and Ofme Aesthetics, although now the Tupperware party is starting.

Lori Anne Goldman is a woman who means business and we are lucky to have Lauran Goldman here in the studio with us this morning. Lor, good morning, thank you very much. Good morning, we really appreciate you being here, lauan, as I mentioned to the big Tupperware family, my aunt was the best artist in North America for much of my childhood, so I was very excited to be able to talk to you and very excited to listen to what you say. What we're going to do with this iconic brand, let's start with the fact that, as our viewers just heard in that article, you've held some important positions at some big companies that we're all very aware of.

Spanx Coca-Cola in all these different places and I understand that one of the biggest things that you see as a common thread here is female leadership, female empowerment, tell me about that, you absolutely know that. When you think about companies like Avon and Spanx and Tupperware, now you know that it's really about entrepreneurship and you know how you can be the best, how you know how to go beyond your comfort zone and I feel like I'm a perfect leader. You know all the conscious T women who create this chain of trust and help. each other from one step to the next and take risks and be the best they can be.

I want to ask you about that chain of trust in just a minute. First, let's start this role with the fact that you are in this position now, so first I understand it and I have to be honest, this surprised me. I understand you're only the second female CEO in the 78-year history of this company, which is really interesting because I think a lot of people associate Tupperware. like this thing that gave women financial freedom and yet hasn't been led by a woman very often, what do you think of that? Well, I think you know that people elect leaders who they think are good for the company and you know I always have.

I had Serendipity in my life as a CEO, you know, I wasn't recruited, things just moved forward and, um, you know, as a CEO True Believer, I feel like the connection with this particular company and the women are perfect for I and you have been. open in talking to us before this conversation about where the company is in some difficult times and that's part of the reason why you're here to try to change that and I understand that you really see it as an opportunity that potentially defines your career, although you know that it is not necessarily risky.

Yes, what do you think and how do you plan to go about making this change? Well, first of all, taking risks is only part of what you know. life and certainly part of you knows the life of a CEO. I always feel like I'm in a pressure cooker. That's probably why my favorite product is the Tupperware pressure cooker. But I think in this particular case you have this iconic brand that you know, you mentioned the 78 years that you know, it started for food preservation for female empowerment and that's just as relevant today as it was then, you know, I think the plans for that the company continues to grow really match the You know that the brand is what consumers have today and what they are looking for.

We have been a direct sales company and the landscape has changed and we seek to love our sellers, but also make sure that we are in places where it is easy to get our products and I know, like when there were the Tupperware parties, that that chain of trust is that women sell to other women in their homes, but what does that look like now and what impact do you think it has? It may be for a woman who is looking for a way to earn additional income. Well, we say people join Tupperware and they certainly take it as a business opportunity, but really it's also for engagement and community, and you hear the stories of our business.

The leaders and that community is really what draws them to Tupperware, the parties are still going on, we started the party and I think after the pandemic, people were lonelier than ever and so coming together for that personal interaction is Still very present and real, but we also do things on social media and virtually, and you know, people sell in all kinds of ways, which influences affiliates a lot. It's really cool to see how creative our sellers are and, you know, finding women. who absolutely love our products, do you have a quote? We only have a few seconds left, but a word of advice for people who are women in business.

You know, I would probably say never say I can't. You know, because if you say I can. No what you're really saying is that you know I won't try, I won't risk it, I won't even consider it and when you say I can't, you know it, it keeps you from putting yourself in that awkward position. That will help you grow. I love it, Lorian Goldman, thank you very much and congratulations on the position. We appreciate you coming to the studio. I love Savannah. It was very fun meeting you. Thank you so much. Alright, some good advice.
