1:05
This is the CBS Evening
1:07
News. Good
1:10
evening, I'm Maurice Dubois. I'm John Dickerson,
1:13
and good morning to China, where it
1:15
is already Wednesday, the day that Trump
1:17
104% tariff kicks in. The president wants
1:20
to talk to China's leaders about it.
1:22
He says he is waiting for their
1:24
call. Dozens of other countries hit by
1:26
the US tariffs have already called, and
1:29
the president says he believes China will
1:31
too. to make a deal. And if
1:33
the Chinese are not on the line,
1:35
a lot of money is in this
1:38
trade war, Wall Street lost more of
1:40
it today as all three major indexes
1:42
were down. We begin our coverage with
1:44
Ed O'Keef at the White House. Ed.
1:46
Good evening, President Trump today claimed that
1:49
the new tariffs are generating about $2
1:51
billion in revenue each day, but with
1:53
growing concern about how they might cripple
1:55
the global economy in America's bottom line.
1:57
a new message for world leaders. Give
1:59
us a call and let's make a
2:02
deal. With tariffs now in place, President
2:04
Trump today signaled he's willing to explore
2:06
deals with affected countries on a case-by-case
2:08
basis. I call them Taylor deals, not
2:10
off the rack. The president claims more
2:13
than 70 countries have called to negotiate
2:15
ahead of tonight's midnight deadline, when reciprocal
2:17
tariff rates kick in for much of
2:19
the world, including China, which is set
2:21
to see them sore to 104 percent.
2:24
Americans bought about $440 billion worth of
2:26
goods from China last year, making it
2:28
the second largest import partner after Mexico.
2:30
And while other countries may be reaching
2:32
out, China, so far, isn't. on the
2:35
call sheet. Under what conditions at this
2:37
point would President Trump talk to President
2:39
Xi about tariffs? It was a mistake
2:41
for China to retaliate. The president, when
2:43
America is punched, he punches back harder.
2:45
And the president also wanted me to
2:48
tell all of you that if China
2:50
reaches out to make a deal, he'll
2:52
be incredibly gracious, but he's going to
2:54
do what's best for the American people.
2:56
China has to call first? The Chinese
2:59
want to make a deal, they just
3:01
don't know how to do it. That
3:03
rhetoric was echoed in Beijing in Beijing.
3:05
will fight to the end. That's a
3:07
lot of bark, not a lot of
3:10
bite. Evan Maderos served on President Obama's
3:12
national security council and is now an
3:14
Asia expert at Georgetown University. They don't
3:16
want the global trading system to unravel.
3:18
What they're trying to do is figure
3:21
out a way to get Trump to
3:23
back off not just his tariffs on
3:25
China, but his tariff strategy globally. So
3:27
then this war continues conceivably gets worse.
3:29
How does that ripple across the rest
3:31
of the rest of the world? It
3:34
means... higher prices, it means slower growth,
3:36
it means fewer choices at target and
3:38
Walmart, and it means that all of
3:40
our 401ks are going to shrink. It's
3:42
bad. And so Ed, what does the
3:45
White House want in exchange for providing
3:47
tariff relief to some of these countries?
3:49
Well, first of all, we don't know
3:51
how many countries have actually called. The
3:53
trade representative earlier today told Congress it
3:56
was... Nearly 50, the president later said
3:58
more than 70, we've been asking for
4:00
a list and haven't gotten one yet.
4:02
But they also signal today that the
4:04
talks may go beyond trade to include
4:07
things like the size and scope of
4:09
American foreign assistance, whether U.S. military presence
4:11
is maintained in some of these countries,
4:13
and how it would be paid for,
4:15
and even if some of these countries
4:17
would be willing to cut new deals
4:20
for American energy, like liquified natural gas.
4:22
Guys? All right, Ed Okeitho the White
4:24
House, thank you. Almost
4:27
every country on the planet
4:29
has been hit by the
4:31
Trump terrorists. Even imports from
4:33
the micro-state of Liechtenstein, population
4:36
40,000, sandwiched in between Switzerland
4:38
and Austria, will be taxed
4:40
37 percent. Liz Palmer is
4:43
there. Liechtenstein is tucked away
4:45
between the Swiss and Austrian
4:47
Alps. So tiny, you could
4:49
fit it four times over
4:52
into New York City and
4:54
have room to spare. But
4:56
this alpine paradise is home
4:59
to several world-class makers of
5:01
premium products that turned it
5:03
into a tariff target. Power
5:05
tools, for example, cables and
5:08
connectors, and high-quality fillings and
5:10
false teeth. So basically Liechtenstein
5:12
is being punished for making
5:14
things America wants to buy.
5:17
Exactly, yes. Dr. Gerald Hausp
5:19
is an economist with a
5:21
tukund think tank. Liechtenstein is
5:24
so tiny and this... doesn't
5:26
have any influence in the
5:28
world. So how to deal
5:30
with the Trump administration. No
5:33
one understands why, just because
5:35
they don't buy as much
5:37
from the US as they
5:40
sell to it, Liechtenstein got
5:42
clobbered. Peter Laukes is an
5:44
ex-banker. 37%. No one here
5:46
gets how President Trump can
5:49
think they're ripping off America.
5:51
Okay, now it's for laughing
5:53
because... Lichtenstein is nothing if
5:55
not peaceful. It doesn't even
5:58
have an army. What it
6:00
does have is a stable
6:02
and secure business environment. So
6:05
it's been blindsided by President
6:07
Trump's approach to world trade.
6:09
Patrick Shadler is editor of
6:11
the Fatland Daily newspaper. This
6:14
is... bigger than the crisis
6:16
that came with the pandemic?
6:18
Because you don't know what's
6:21
coming next. You wake up
6:23
in the morning and you
6:25
have to check the news
6:27
what Mr. Trump has decided
6:30
the last night. And as
6:32
Palmer joins us now from
6:34
Liechtenstein, Liz, what are these
6:37
companies going to do there
6:39
that are now find themselves
6:41
in this condition? We
6:43
tried to ask them directly, they
6:46
wouldn't speak to us. The economist
6:48
says they just don't want to
6:50
draw any attention to themselves at
6:53
the moment. While they consider their
6:55
options, and that includes developing markets
6:57
outside the US, maybe finding ways
7:00
to circumvent the tariffs, and certainly
7:02
applying diplomatic pressure in Washington, hoping
7:04
that President Trump will change his
7:06
mind. And as we talked earlier
7:09
in the day about their bruised
7:11
feelings, but you say that those
7:13
feelings are backed up by data.
7:16
Indeed, they point out that they
7:18
not only make good things that
7:20
Americans want to buy, they buy
7:22
themselves plenty of American services that
7:25
weren't accounted for in the tariffs,
7:27
and they directly employ 7,000 Americans
7:29
inside America. They say they've lived
7:32
up to their side of the
7:34
bargain as good trading partners, and
7:36
they're frankly puzzled and very sad.
7:39
The CBS News is following the
7:41
rising cost of products affected by
7:43
American tariffs. You can check out
7:45
our price tracker at cbsnews.com/tariffs. Now
7:48
more of the top stories from
7:50
around the world in tonight's evening
7:52
news roundup, the U.S. envoy Steve
7:55
Whitcough will hold nuclear talks with
7:57
Iran this coming weekend in Oman.
7:59
The United States and Iran... have
8:02
not had direct talks since the
8:04
Obama administration. CBS News has confirmed
8:06
the FAA hired a new management
8:08
team at Washington's Reagan National Airport.
8:11
This follows the deadly midair collision
8:13
of a passenger jet and an
8:15
army helicopter in January. There have
8:18
also been a series of close
8:20
calls and a fist fight in
8:22
the control tower. And in Dominican
8:25
Republic, the search goes on for
8:27
survivors after the roof of a
8:29
nightclub. caved in. It happened during
8:31
a meringa concert. At least 67
8:34
people were killed and dozens more
8:36
injured. Former Major League pitcher Octavio
8:38
Dottel is among the dead. A
8:41
sharply divided Supreme Court has given
8:43
President Trump to go ahead to
8:45
use the Alien Enemies Act to
8:48
deport Venezuelan migrants accused of being
8:50
gang members. The ruling was five
8:52
to four with Justice Barrett, a
8:54
Trump appointee joining the court's liberals
8:57
in dissenting. But all nine justices
8:59
agreed the migrants must get due
9:01
process before any deportation. And Justice
9:04
Correspondence Scott McFarland reports that is
9:06
likely to set off a new
9:08
battle. After a month-long legal battle
9:10
over these controversial surprise deportations of
9:13
200 plus Venezuelan nationals to a
9:15
prison in El Salvador, both sides
9:17
are declaring victory, including U.S. Attorney
9:20
General Pam Bondi. Americans are safer
9:22
and domestic terrorists, foreign terrorists, you
9:24
better look out because we're coming
9:27
after you. The Supreme Court's decision
9:29
Monday night has temporarily opened the
9:31
door to more deportations under the
9:33
rarely used 1798 Alien Enemies Act,
9:36
previously used during wartime, but the
9:38
court ruled those deportations must now
9:40
include due process, suspected foreign nationals
9:43
would have the ability to fight
9:45
their removal through the courts. If
9:47
everybody's given some due process, under
9:50
what the Supreme Court decided. Sounds
9:52
like a traditional deportation all of
9:54
a sudden. It's awfully close to
9:56
that, yes. That's what it would
9:59
look like. The Supreme Court's decision
10:01
also leaves open the door to
10:03
more challenges of the administration's use
10:06
of the Aldian enemies Act and
10:08
Tom Warwick a former official at
10:10
the Department of Homeland Security says
10:13
those challenges are imminent. It's highly
10:15
debatable right now whether what is
10:17
going on with drug cartels and
10:19
others qualifies as an invasion or
10:22
incursion. This is a wartime power
10:24
that's being used. In her scathing
10:26
dissent, Justice Sotomayor warned, due process
10:29
is critical because she wrote, citizens
10:31
could be taken off the streets,
10:33
forced onto planes, and confined to
10:36
foreign prisons with no opportunity for
10:38
redress if judicial review is denied
10:40
unlawfully before removal. Scott
10:42
McFerlin joins us now. Scott,
10:44
Judge Bozburg, who originally said
10:46
to the administration, wait a
10:49
minute, don't go so fast.
10:51
Wasn't his argument always about
10:53
due process? And in that
10:55
case, hasn't the Supreme Court
10:57
essentially agreed with him on
10:59
that? That's how this whole
11:02
legal odyssey began with a
11:04
judge here in Washington saying,
11:06
I want to make sure
11:08
there's due process is going
11:10
to mean. This may be
11:12
more... art right now than
11:14
science. So not over yet.
11:17
All right, Scott McFarland, thank
11:19
you. Still ahead on the
11:21
CBS evening news, Rob Marciano
11:23
on a very cold night
11:25
in the East. Also tonight,
11:27
a state attorney general may
11:29
have saved the life of
11:32
a death row inmates. Did
11:34
you think maybe this guy's
11:36
not guilty? But is he
11:38
guilty of murder? That was
11:40
the question. Could ultraviolet light
11:42
save lives? I'm Dr. John
11:45
Lapook here at Columbia University,
11:47
where researchers are using something
11:49
called far UVC to kill
11:51
viruses like the flu. In
12:02
April of 2000, Janet Acosta was
12:04
on her lunch break, sitting in
12:06
her car in Miami, reading a
12:08
book. When a man carjacked her,
12:10
beat her, robbed her, and strangled
12:12
her. Late today, the state of
12:14
Florida gave that man a lethal
12:16
injection. The 11th person executed in
12:18
the United States this year. Oklahoma's
12:20
chief law enforcement officer oversees executions
12:22
in his state. He may have
12:24
saved a life of a death
12:26
row inmate. I believe that my
12:28
duty to look at every person
12:30
on death row. As Attorney General
12:32
of Oklahoma, Gettner Drummond has personally
12:34
attended nine executions. Since taking office,
12:36
he's approved of every death row
12:38
case in the state, except one.
12:40
And when I stumbled across Richard
12:42
Glossa, it was different. This is
12:44
an individual who didn't murder the
12:46
victim. Richard Glossop was convicted in
12:48
the 1997 murder of a man
12:51
who had been beaten to death.
12:53
When Attorney General Drummond examined the
12:55
case, he learned the state knew
12:57
its key witness lied during Glossop's
12:59
trial. Did you think maybe this
13:01
guy's not guilty? I think by
13:03
Mr. Glossop's own testimony, he's guilty
13:05
of at least accessory after the
13:07
fact. So he's guilty, but is
13:09
he guilty of murder? That was
13:11
the question. Drummond discovered that the
13:13
state withheld evidence during the trial
13:15
27 years ago, so he asked
13:17
his state's criminal appeals court to
13:19
intervene. What case did you make
13:21
to the highest court here in
13:23
the state? I confessed ever by
13:25
the state and said we had
13:27
information that we didn't disclose that
13:29
could have had a material impact.
13:31
on the outcome and therefore we
13:33
would ask that Mr. Glossop be
13:35
afforded a new trial. But Drummond's
13:37
appeal was denied. So what are
13:39
you thinking at that point? I
13:41
anticipated that Mr. Glossop would seek
13:43
appeal to the United States Supreme
13:45
Court and we joined in that
13:47
effort. Joint in that effort. The
13:49
Attorney General of... of Oklahoma, red
13:52
state, pro-death penalty state, appealing this
13:54
case to the Supreme Court. Well,
13:56
no, it's not a very popular
13:58
position for a Republican Attorney General.
14:00
But the mission of my office
14:02
is not to protect the prosecutor.
14:04
My mission is to seek justice.
14:06
Now it's up to the district
14:08
attorney and Drummond to decide his
14:10
fate. And I do not want
14:12
to be culpable in executing somebody
14:14
who is innocent. But this can't
14:16
be the only case where there's
14:18
been a mistake. I think empirically
14:20
we know statistically that's correct but
14:22
not under my watch. So Maurice
14:24
where are things go next? Well
14:26
the attorney general and prosecutors say
14:28
they're going to make up their
14:30
mind in the next four or
14:32
five weeks either retry Richard Glossip
14:34
or come up with some kind
14:36
of plea deal in the case
14:38
so we'll see. You know I
14:40
was struck does does attorney general
14:42
drum and does he believe in
14:44
the death penalty himself personally? I
14:46
asked him several times and he
14:48
said doesn't matter. I didn't know
14:50
what that meant, but I asked
14:53
him several times. He kept saying,
14:55
it doesn't matter. I enforced the
14:57
laws of the state. He is,
14:59
by the way, running for governor,
15:01
Ruby Red, Oklahoma. We'll see where
15:03
it goes. So he, not a
15:05
yes, not a no. No, I'm
15:07
not a popular thing to be
15:09
against the death penalty at stake.
15:11
That's right. All right. Race, thanks.
15:13
Now to the weather. Rob, Rob.
15:15
Yeah, some of those freeze warnings
15:17
are right where they're still having
15:19
flood water. It's places like Cincinnati
15:21
and Louisville, Kentucky, which is what
15:23
you're looking at. This sort of
15:25
looked like today, the sunshine glistening
15:27
off those flood waters and some
15:29
of those buildings that are still
15:31
surrounded by the flood waters, the
15:33
river will be surrounded by the
15:35
flood waters, the river will be
15:37
surrounded by the flood waters, the
15:39
river will be surrounded by the
15:41
river, the river, northwesterly pouring into
15:43
the northeast and that's what's bringing
15:45
in the cold there. So we
15:47
have the freeze warnings that are
15:49
up for parts of Indiana including
15:51
any for parts of northern parts
15:53
of Alabama, including Huntsville, could be
15:56
below freezing there. Places like Raleigh-Durham,
15:58
Islip, and Harrisburg, you'll be below
16:00
freezing, could be a record. Tonight's
16:02
gonna be the cold this night
16:04
of the week, but the rest
16:06
of the week will be below
16:08
average. Time is on our side,
16:10
guys. It will eventually get warmer,
16:12
but right now, this April feels
16:14
like the middle of winter. Yeah,
16:16
we thought it was spring. All
16:18
right, Rob, thank you. They are
16:20
playing baseball, baseball, though. There is
16:22
a new weapon against such airborne
16:24
diseases as COVID and bird flu.
16:26
Bringing light into the fight is
16:28
tonight's eye in America. That's next.
16:30
Hey, I'm Andy. If you don't
16:32
know me, it's probably because I'm
16:34
not famous. But I did start
16:36
a men's grooming company called Harrys.
16:38
The idea for Harrys came out
16:40
of a frustrating experience I had
16:42
buying razor blades. Most brands were
16:44
overpriced, over-designed, and out-of-touch. At Harry
16:46
our approaches simple. Here's our secret.
16:48
We make sharp, durable blades and
16:50
sell them at honest prices for
16:52
as low as $2 each. We
16:54
care about quality so much that
16:57
we do some crazy things, like
16:59
by a world-class German blade factory.
17:01
Obsessing over every detail means we're
17:03
confident in offering a 100% quality
17:05
guarantee. Millions of guys have already
17:07
made the switch to Harry's. So
17:09
thank you if you're one of
17:11
them. And if you're not, we
17:13
hope you give us a try
17:15
with this special offer. Get a
17:17
hairy starter set with a five-bladeded
17:19

I've been counted out, dismissed, passed
17:33
over. Told I'd never be a
17:35
golfer with just one arm. But
17:37
the only thing that feels better
17:39
than proving people wrong is out
17:41
driving them. I'm 14 year old
17:43
golfer Tommy Morsi and I want
17:45
to be remembered for my ability.

Rights Reserve. Five years ago today,
18:06
at the beginning of the pandemic,
18:08
Johns Hopkins reported that more than
18:10
400,000 people in the US had
18:12
come down with COVID, and nearly
18:14
15,000 had died. Two months later,
18:16
our Dr. John Lapook was among
18:18
the first to report that COVID
18:20
is spread through the air. In
18:22
tonight's eye on America, Dr. LaPook
18:24
introduces you to a new weapon
18:26

18:28
and many more. Bombas

Warning, bombas are so
22:30
absurdly comfortable you may throw
22:32
out all your other clothes. Sorry,
22:34
do we legally have to say that?
22:36
No, this is just how I talk and
22:39
I really love my bombas. They do
22:41
feel that good, and they
22:43
do good too. One item

It's tax season, and we're all a
22:58
bit tired of numbers. But here's one
23:00
you need to hear. $16.5 billion. That's
23:02
how much the IRS flagged
23:05
for possible identity fraud last
23:07
year. Now here's a good
23:09
number. 100 million. That's how
23:11

Terms apply. Finally, tonight, a
23:24
White House fixture through dozens of
23:26
administrations got the axe today. A
23:29
southern magnolia that had stood outside
23:31
the executive mansion since the 19th
23:33
century was cut down. According to
23:36
legend, Andrew Jackson, our seventh president,
23:38
known as Old Hickory for his
23:40
toughness, planted the tree in honor
23:43
of his late wife using seeds
23:45
from trees at their Tennessee estate.
23:47
Here it is in 1861. The
23:50
magnolia was a silent witness to
23:52
a lot of presidential history. In
23:54
1994 the tree was damaged when
23:57
a drunken pilot crashed a stolen
23:59
cesna onto the white House grounds.
24:01
It never fully recovered. And this
24:04
year, Arborists determined it had to
24:06
come down. President Trump used a
24:08
gold shovel to plant a replacement,
24:11
a 12-year-old sampling grown from the
24:13
seeds of the Jackson tree. A
24:15
new magnolia with roots to old
24:18
hickory. That's the news. Evening News
