ISABEL ROSALES, CNN HOST: Hello, and thank you for joining me. I'm Isabel Rosales in for Fredricka Whitfield.

Breaking news, Pennsylvania State Police are now offering up to a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest following a fire at the governor's mansion that they say was intentionally set. Governor Josh Shapiro and his family were asleep inside when loud bangs on the door from the state police woke them up, prompting a quick evacuation while firefighters battled those flames.

Let's get right to CNN's Danny Freeman.

Danny, you're live there from where this is happening. Multiple agencies are now involved in the investigation, and we're expecting new information at a press conference here within the next hour.

DANNY FREEMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Isabel, this truly is a multi-agency response and investigation at this point. In fact, while Pennsylvania State Police is leading the investigation into what happened last night at the governor's mansion, I just learned that the FBI is also assisting PSP in this investigation. There's still a number of questions that we, of course, have, and we're hoping to get some more answers in a little less than 30 minutes where we just learned that Governor Shapiro himself and Pennsylvania State Police will be giving an update in front of the governor's mansion on just what went so horribly wrong last night.

Here's what we know, though. Isabel, at this time. We know that according to Governor Shapiro and state police, at around 2:00 in the morning, while Governor Shapiro and his entire family were asleep at the governor's residence in Harrisburg, they were woken up by loud banging, which was first responders on his door saying that part of the residence was on fire. It was a different part of the residence than where Governor Shapiro and his family were, but they were able to evacuate them.

They were ultimately able to put out the fire, and thankfully no one was injured. But this morning, state police came out pretty emphatically and clearly, saying that they were prepared to say this was an act of arson. But of course, we don't have more details as to how they were able to say that so quickly. We're hoping to get more of those answers and information from this press conference at 4:30.

Listen, Isabel, this would be tragic and very, very scary for any governor in any state at any time. But it is important to note that Governor Shapiro, he is very proud of his Jewish faith. And last night was the first night of the Jewish holiday of Passover. Governor Shapiro tweeted earlier last evening that he was celebrating a Passover seder, and that it is notable and even more frightening that on the first night of Passover, it seems, according to state police, someone decided to intentionally set fire to the governor's home.

So, as you noted, Pennsylvania State Police now offering a $10,000 reward to lead to any information that might lead to an arrest in this case. But hopefully we will start learning more information about exactly what investigators know and are learning at that press conference in about 30 minutes -- Isabel.

ROSALES: Danny, can you tell us more about the neighborhood around the mansion? What is that area like?

FREEMAN: Sure. It's interesting. The governor's mansion here or over there, I should say, in Harrisburg is about a mile away from downtown Harrisburg, not far from the state capitol building itself. It's right on the Susquehanna River. But what is interesting about the location here is it's not walled off completely. It's actually pretty accessible to the public. It has fencing around the area.

You've been seeing some of these images of investigators looking through fencing. So it is actually a little bit more accessible to the public. The public takes tours of the governor's mansion frequently, so we'll see if any of that relative accessibility, perhaps compared to other governor's mansions or homes across the country, might be part of what led to this ultimate arson in the polices estimation here overnight -- Isabel.

ROSALES: Yes, a lot of accounting and reviewing that is now undoubtedly going on by investigators.

Danny Freeman, thank you.

We're also watching how global markets will respond to the tariff whiplash we have seen from the White House. In just a couple of hours Asian markets will open for the first time since the Trump administration said it was exempting many electronics from its sweeping tariffs. But then today, White House officials said that those exemptions are only temporary and could still be subject to their own specific set of tariffs in the near future.

[16:05:03]

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KEVIN HASSETT, DIRECTOR, WHITE HOUSE ECONOMIC COUNCIL: It was always the case in annex two in the reciprocal act that semiconductors were going to not be covered by that action, because there's a 232 action that was announced in the executive order that is going to address it. And so and so I don't think that anything really should be a surprise if people stopped and studied.

PETER NAVARRO, WHITE HOUSE TRADE ADVISER: So what Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick is going to do -- is doing it as we speak, is an investigation of the chip supply chain. The goal is stability and resilience, and you will see actions taken based on those investigations on copper. We've already have steel and aluminum. We already have autos. There will be pharmaceuticals and there will be chips.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ROSALES: CNN's Kevin Liptak is in West Palm Beach, Florida, near where President Trump is spending his weekend.

Kevin, there's just so much confusion about this, confusion from consumers, confusion from businesses who just don't know how to plan and what to do next. How is the White House further explaining all of this in the back and forth?

KEVIN LIPTAK, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Yes, they're trying to make the point that this exclusion that we heard about from Customs and Border Patrol on Friday evening is essentially a technical step, a reprieve momentarily as they conduct this national security review into the semiconductor industry. Semiconductors, those tiny computer chips that power laptops, smartphones, computers, all of these products that were listed in this exclusion notice that CBP put out on Friday.

President Trump is now jumping into the fray as well, trying to clarify sort of what's going on here. He says on Truth Social, nobody is getting off the hook. He says there was no tariff exception announced on Friday. These tariffs are subject to the existing 20 percent fentanyl tariffs, and they are just moving to a different tariff bucket. And so the president trying to sort of make the case that this was all part of the plan going forward.

We did hear earlier today from Howard Lutnick, who is the president's Commerce secretary, who said that this national security review would potentially take up to two months. And that is the point at which these new tariffs would go on to these electronics. The point of all of this, according to him, is to try and get these industries to move production to the United States. Listen to more of Howard Lutnick.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HOWARD LUTNICK, COMMERCE SECRETARY: Remember, those products are going to be part of the semiconductor sectoral tariffs, which are coming. So you're going to see this week there will be a register in the federal registry. There will be a notice put out. That is different types of work. So we're going to do that. We did that in autos. The president is going to do it for pharmaceuticals. And even he is going to do it for semiconductors. So all those products are going to come under semiconductors. And

they're going to have a special focus type of tariff to make sure that those products get reshored.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LIPTAK: Now, I think part of the reason there's so much confusion here is that because Lutnick and many other officials have been saying for the last several weeks that there wouldn't be any exclusions as part of these tariffs. No one had mentioned up until this weekend this idea of a national security review into the semiconductors, at least in interviews and in public statements.

And it all, I think, is lending to the sense of chaos around the president's tariff agenda. He has applied the tariffs. He's lifted some of the tariffs. He's adjusted the rates. They have said that there's no exclusions. Now that they say that there are exclusions. They're saying that these are temporary and that it was all part of the plan all along.

I think if you're a business owner, a big business owner, small business owner, there's a lot of questions about where exactly you should be investing going forward. But according to the president and according to his team, this is all how it is supposed to be unfolding -- Isabel.

ROSALES: And chaos certainly something that the markets do not enjoy.

Kevin Liptak, thank you.

For more on all of this, we are joined now by business journalist and host of Public Radio's "Full Disclosure," Roben Farzad.

Roben, welcome to the show. We really appreciate your time and your perspective on all of this. We saw how Trump's pullback of his so- called reciprocal tariffs last week really rallied the markets if only for a little bit. There was hope there that these exemptions on electronics would offer another reprieve from Trump's trade wars. But then the White House now out with this, saying that those exemptions will not be permanent.

Are we in for another roller coaster ride with the markets?

ROBEN FARZAD, BUSINESS JOURNALIST: There is so much dissonance and confusion. I would hope that someone like Howard Lutnick, who's a storied, you know, Wall Street veteran out there who can speak in common terms, can come out and explain this in a way that wouldn't confuse people. But he's citing 202, 405, carveouts exemption, national security. It's only ever more confusing for traders, for mom and pop, for people who are wanting to define whether this is a bluff or this is going to happen.

[16:10:03]

Are there carveouts for semiconductors, for smartphones? Do you buy an iPhone this week? Can you hold off because the iPhone is going to be carved out? And I think the more they do this, the more this continues, kind of it becomes a cry wolf thing. And you don't take the White House and economic advisers so seriously.

ROSALES: Yes. I was just speaking with a soybean farmer yesterday who said precisely that, even outside of soybean, the product, fertilizer, steel, all these other tariffs that are still in place make it very difficult to plan for the future.

Now, the White House says that the goal with this Section 232 study and potential tariffs for electronics is to encourage manufacturing in the U.S. of products critical to national security.

But, Roben, is that realistic? Can the U.S. feasibly make all of these semiconductors and smartphones necessary to simultaneously protect national security and then provide affordable products for U.S. consumers at the same time?

FARZAD: No, not with a six-month turnaround or a 12-month turnaround, or even with an 18-month turnaround. And you're talking, you know, you're the White House, you're saying that these companies can just decide to build this stuff from scratch. You know, tabula rosa here in the United States. Do you understand how many decades of inputs and iteration China and even Apple put into their supply chains there? How entire cities are built around refining processes, refining, sourcing, getting this out?

When Tim Cook of Apple says, go, build me this watch with this form factors that they can, you know, scramble the jets overnight to do that? I can't imagine doing that in the current United States. You don't have the workforce. You don't have the work ethic necessarily in the factory hours and the people willing to toil in anonymity piecing these things together. You're talking about dormitories there and cafeterias and 24-7 throughput.

So I think it's a great ideal to bring these jobs back. But I don't recall when we last built, you know, great electronics in the United States. Not in my adult lifetime, at least.

ROSALES: Now, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren likened Trump's tariff policies to essentially a game of red light, green light, a start and stop approach that is rattling businesses and global markets alike. But Trump ran on these very same tariff policies he is now putting into place. I mean, he famously said that tariff is his favorite word in the dictionary behind God, religion and love.

So why is it that these business leaders seemingly are so unprepared for what's happening?

FARZAD: And to be fair, he's been consistent about this for more than 40 years. Go back and pull up YouTube videos of him on the "Oprah Winfrey" show, before he was, you know, MAGA Republican person when he was really just a, you know, New York City developer who like to chime in on how the Japanese were stealing our bacon in the 1980s, and then it became the Chinese, then it became the Mexicans.

It's been a favorite bete noire of his. So at least he's consistent in doing that. And as I've said before, there's a whole generation of American workers, of cities that have been caught out by the gains of globalization and NAFTA and everything else that Trump and his party have been shaking their fist at. So they believe this. They believe that wait and see. And I think part of it, a big part of it is the revenge, frankly, you know, owning the system that ended up owning them and diminishing their standards of living.

ROSALES: Roben Farzad, thank you so much for your time.

FARZAD: Thank you. Isabel.

ROSALES: Coming up, the FBI is accusing this 17-year-old of murdering his parents in a plot to assassinate the president. Details on the investigation. That's next. And the CDC has denied Milwaukee --

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[16:18:08]

ROSALES: Welcome back. A gruesome discovery in a Wisconsin home revealed a shocking plot to assassinate the president and overthrow the U.S. government. Investigators arrested and charged a 17-year-old in the shooting deaths of his parents after a traffic stop more than 800 miles away. They alleged the teen killed them to pay for and carry out his extremist plan to, quote, "save the white race."

CNN national correspondent Natasha Chen is following the latest on this.

Natasha, what more have you found out about these disturbing allegations?

NATASHA CHEN, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Isabel, it really is disturbing. The affidavit shows he allegedly killed his parents, like you said, for financial means and autonomy in order to kill President Trump. He was arrested in Kansas for SUV theft and firearm possession after authorities got a search warrant. They found material on Nikita Casap's phone about the Order of the Nine Angles, which they say is about a Neo-Nazi, racially motivated set of extremist views, according to court documents.

Now, the FBI found a three-page document calling for Trump's assassination to create a political revolution and to, quote, "save the white race." The document also contained images of Adolf Hitler, along with texts praising Hitler and the white race. Casap faces nine felony charges, including two counts of first-degree murder and two counts of hiding a corpse.

But this list you're seeing here comprises only the county charges. Investigators are also pursuing three federal charges of presidential assassination, conspiracy and use of weapons of mass destruction. Now authorities actually believe his parents were killed on February 11th, but they weren't found until two and a half weeks later. In between, there were texts sent from his stepfather's phone claiming that he was ill, couldn't go to work. Casap's own phone pinged in Iowa then there was a welfare check

requested. That's when the parents were found dead from gunshot wounds in Wisconsin.

[16:20:01]

Casap was not there, and police listed his stepfather's SUV as stolen. And now, that same evening, police in Kansas did a traffic stop on that vehicle and found Casap driving. The complaint says it also says that inside the car was $14,000 in $100 bills, jewelry worth more than $14,000, and a 357 Magnum revolver purchased by his stepfather.

An affidavit says the 17-year-old's classmate told the sheriff's office that Casap previously said he planned to kill his parents, but didn't have access to a gun, and then later told that classmate he would become friends with someone who had a gun and steal it. The classmate also said Casap claimed to be in contact with someone in Russia, and that they were planning on overthrowing the U.S. government and assassinating Trump.

The Waukesha County complaint says detectives also found messages indicating he wanted to leave for Ukraine. CNN has reached out to Casap's attorney, and so far, county records show he has not entered pleas on any of the state charges yet.

And Isabel, he's scheduled for an arraignment on May 7th.

ROSALES: Just a wild story here, from that Russia line to now two people being dead to this teenager facing very serious accusations here.

Natasha Chen, thank you.

CHEN: Thanks.

ROSALES: Well, the CDC has denied Milwaukee's request for help with managing unsafe lead levels at its public schools. So what happens next? Milwaukee's health commissioner joins us live ahead.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[16:25:49]

ROSALES: Welcome back. We're standing by for a briefing from Pennsylvania officials on an overnight fire at Governor Josh Shapiro's home that police say was arson. Governor Shapiro will also speak at that press conference. And, of course, we will monitor that and bring it to you live once it begins.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention is denying to offer any assistance toward the unsafe lead levels discovered at Milwaukee's public schools. The federal agency cited the mass firings across its organization and told city officials, quote, "I sincerely regret to inform you that due to the complete loss of our lead program, we will be unable to support you with this request."

Joining me now is Milwaukee's health commissioner, Mike Totoraitis.

Mike, really appreciate your time, you coming on to tell us more about this. What more do you know about the CDC's response and that assistance that you were denied?

MIKE TOTORAITIS, MILWAUKEE HEALTH COMMISSIONER: It really was heart- wrenching to receive that e-mail. And even as you were reading that quote, it got chills through my body thinking about that moment when I received the e-mail from the CDC denying our request. This has been an ongoing issue in our city since January when our team uncovered the lead poisoning at one of our cities. It's pretty hard to put into words.

ROSALES: Yes. And my understanding is it's from peeling paint, right? Can you tell us more about the discovery of that source? And can you explain why lead exposure is so dangerous, not only for the children there, but the staff members, the adults, everyone?

TOTORAITIS: Yes. So through our routine investigations of childhood lead poisoning that are reported to our department on an annual basis, we uncovered a child actually in one of our public schools, as you mentioned, who had been poisoned through the lead paint at the school, and through that investigation, we had subsequently found additional schools that had been -- had deteriorated lead paint and lead hazards, that lead dust, that actually put all of these students, the teachers, the staff at risk for lead poisoning.

And unfortunately, there were four children so far that have been identified as lead poisoned because of the schools. This has put us in a very difficult position and hence our call to the CDC for additional support within public health across the country. When local health departments exceed their own capacity, they reach out to their partners, including the CDC, for additional support. And we were pretty disheartened after several months of working with them to have their entire team laid off.

ROSALES: Have any of these students, staff members -- I have here hundreds of children, families and school staff may have been exposed. What sort of health complications are you seeing from that if any?

TOTORAITIS: So, you know, we are -- given the number of students in the schools, we've been watching their health very closely. The school overall has around 68,000 students that are at the -- all of the schools across the district. And over 100 schools were built before 1978 when lead paint was banned. So we've been watching all lead testing results very closely, trying to identify additional students. But this is really just the beginning, even though we've been working on this since January.

This crisis here in Milwaukee is growing in scale as we get into more schools and identify more lead hazards. Thankfully, we have not identified additional students to date. However, that's what the CDC was actually coming to Milwaukee was to help us identify additional students and help ensure that we were prioritizing the correct schools and helping families with the right information so that they could watch out for potential lead poisoning. It's tricky to tell lead poisoning in a child. Generally, it exhibits

different symptoms depending on the age of the child. However, the best way to know if a child has been lead poisoned is through a blood lead test. And that's what the CDC was actually coming to help us, stand up more blood lead testing for the children here in Milwaukee. And we can't rely on them anymore, and now I have to rely on different partners to make that happen.

ROSALES: Right. And experts have said that there's no level, no amount of lead exposure that is considered safe. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. said that the lead poisoning prevention and surveillance program might actually be reinstated, and that the program staff should have never been fired.

[16:30:05]

What do you say to that?

TOTORAITIS: I really hope that that's actually the case. However, I heard that quote on the day that we received the denial from the CDC. So I'm at a loss as every local health officer is across the country. The average size of every health department across the country is around 73 staff.

So, we have to rely on our partners at the federal government to respond to these emergencies. It's tricky to try to understand where we're going as a country, when we can't rely on the top experts in our field. And as you mentioned, the -- the lead team at the CDC were the best and brightest in the field around childhood lead poisoning. And they were the same group that had identified the lead poisoning potentially through applesauce last year.

So, we are in a difficult situation trying to understand who -- who do we call now? Who do I reach out to nationally for the best, you know, advice and best support in these moments when we were expecting a small team to come to Milwaukee to help us in this moment, and now we can't rely on that.

ROSALES: Yeah. And you mentioned you're relying now on alternative partners, excuse me, to do these blood tests and get a feeling of the impacts, the widescale potential impacts of all of this.

I wish you good luck in this, sir. Mike Totoraitis, thank you.

TOTORAITIS: Thank you.

ROSALES: Well, still ahead, new legal trouble for President Trump's immigration crackdown. Top Trump officials sued for revoking international students' visas. Details on that federal lawsuit aiming to stop them. That's next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[16:36:05]

ROSALES: New today, the deadliest attack in Ukraine so far this year. Dozens of people were killed when Russian missiles struck the northern city of Sumy.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio condemned the attack, calling it, quote, horrifying.

CNN's Salma Abdelaziz explains, it happened as people were observing the Palm Sunday holiday.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

SALMA ABDELAZIZ, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Let me begin with a graphic warning for our viewers, because these images emerging after this attack in the Sumy region are absolutely horrifying.

President Zelenskyy says that a Russian ballistic missile struck the region as people were gathering for Palm Sunday prayers. More than 30 people were killed, according to Ukrainian officials. And among those deaths are children. Dozens more were wounded.

Ukrainian officials now saying that this is the deadliest attack on the country since the start of the year by Russia. And it comes, of course, as President Trump is pursuing a peace agreement. He says he wants to see the war end and end quickly. American mediators were negotiating directly with President Putin just a few days ago inside Russia.

But what's happening on the ground in Ukraine is actually an intensification of Russian attacks, particularly in the Sumy region, where Russian troops have been pushing hard to seize more territory. President Zelenskyy saying after this attack and after sharing some of those horrifying videos of the aftermath, saying that Russia is dragging out the war and pushing his partners to put greater pressure on Moscow.

Salma Abdelaziz, CNN, London.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ROSALES: Turning now to a new legal challenge to President Trump's deportation policies. An Atlanta law firm has filed a lawsuit seeking to block federal officials from revoking visas of international students. The suit also names top administration officials as defendants.

CNN's Rafael Romo joins me here.

And, Rafael, this seems like a major moment. This is a big deal, and it's only just starting. What else are you learning from this lawsuit?

RAFAEL ROMO, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: It is. That's a very good point. And it is the largest so far. Weve seen others, but this one may turn out to be the largest, especially in the next few days -- days. And the federal lawsuit was filed in the U.S. district court of northern Georgia here in Atlanta by Kuck and Baxter, a legal firm specializing in immigration.

The lawsuit seeks to stop federal officials from deporting international students whose visas have already been revoked. Kuck and Baxter also filed a motion for a temporary restraining order seeking to reinstate those visas.

We have obtained copies of the complaint, which was filed Friday night, and the request for a temporary restraining order as well. The lawsuits main allegation is that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has abruptly, it says, and unlawfully terminated the students legal status, stripping them of their ability to pursue their studies and maintain employment in the United States and risking their arrest, detention and deportation.

The lawsuit specifically names three Trump administration officials as defendants, including U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons.

This afternoon, a Democratic congressman from California told CNN that legislators from his party are taking several steps to find answers from the administration about these visa revocations.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

REP. ROBERT GARCIA (D-CA): We have asked Secretary Noem to testify in front of homeland security. She's refused to do so. We're asking the Trump administration officials to also come in front of us and testify. They're refusing to give us any more information.

So, we're working directly with the students, with the universities. And the most important thing we have in front of us are the courts. So, we, along with others, are filing numerous lawsuits. In fact, Democrats have won about half of the legal cases against DOGE and the administration. So, we're very hopeful.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ROMO: And, Isabel, the lawsuit includes the cases of 17 foreign students, 11 men and six women whose visas have been revoked by the Trump administration.

[16:40:00]

Nine students are citizens of India and five from China. The other three come from Colombia, Mexico and Japan.

We have reached out to both the White House and the Department of Homeland Security for reaction, but we have yet to get a reply. But again, Secretary of State Rubio has been very clear about this. He says that they're going against those who have been speaking publicly in the pro-Palestinian protests that we've seen in the last year.

ROSALES: And an overall tracking and analysis done by CNN. Over 500 international students, so far, that have had their visas revoked.

ROMO: Correct.

ROSALES: Rafael Romo closely tracking this. Thank you.

ROMO: Uh-huh.

ROSALES: We're standing by for a briefing from Pennsylvania officials on an overnight fire at Governor Josh Shapiro's home that police say was arson. Governor Shapiro will also speak at that press conference. We will, of course, monitor that and bring it to you live once it begins.

Stay with CNN.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[16:45:31]

ROSALES: Tuesday is Tax Day, and if you're still working on filing your return or just beginning. Chances are you probably need a little a few last-minute tips on how to get it wrapped up and sent off to the IRS.

To help with that, I'd like to bring in CNNs senior business writer, Jeanne Sahadi.

Jeanne, thank you for your time.

For anyone who might just be getting started -- well, a little late here -- where do they begin? Little late.

JEANNE SAHADI, CNN BUSINESS, SENIOR WRITER: Thank you, Isabel.

Yeah, you have until 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday local time to get in your tax return and/or your extension for your 2024 taxes, as well as all the payments you will still owe for your 2024 taxes.

So that's -- that's the firm deadline.

If you're just starting with your return, you want to get organized with your documents. You want to make sure you have all of the documentation for your income. It's not necessarily just wage income. If you have a paycheck from a salaried job, you might have investment income, you might have retirement distribution income.

If you, say, inherited an IRA, you might have rental income. If you own a property, you want to make sure you have that all in one place, because if you don't report it on your tax return, the IRS will send the -- will get back to you and say, hey, this doesn't match with what we've got.

You also want to find out whether you have -- find out what your -- what your deductions are, and figure out if they exceed together, the standard deduction you would take. You know, most people take the standard at this point because it was expanded. But if your itemized deductions add up to more than the standard, you want to have documentation backing up each of those. In the event you're audited, you have to be able to show that you, you know, took the deduction legitimately.

And you want to make sure when you do your return, that you check for all the stupidest mistakes that you know you will never make, but definitely don't make them on the tax return, because again, it will delay the processing and delay any refund you might be owed. If you know, let's say you have a wrong account number or you spell your address wrong or something like that.

ROSALES: Okay, so, Jeanne, what if I'm looking at Tuesday and I'm like -- and I'm like, there's just no way. I cannot get this in by that time. What -- what should I do?

SAHADI: Yeah. Life is happening to a lot of people, and Tuesday might be too hard, and that's fine. But if you owe money or if you think you owe money, you have to do two things.

By Tuesday at midnight, you want to file for an extension online. Super easy. I think it's -- I don't have the exact number, but it's right online. Look it up on the IRS.gov and you also want to calculate, get a good estimate of how much more money you owe. And send that payment in on Tuesday night.

The value of filing for an extension is you will not be hit with a failure to file penalty, which amounts to 5 percent of what you owe every month, plus interest, because that's fun. And it's always the interest that gets you. Yeah, that's always good.

And, and by paying what you can, even if it's not the full amount, you are reducing any failure to pay penalty you might be subject to. So, those are two things you must do. Even if you can't get your return done, you get a six-month extension and you can go find yourself a nice software program or tax professional to help after that.

ROSALES: As somebody married to a tax professional.

SAHADI: Yes.

ROSALES: Totally understand? Yes.

But yeah, important to note there what you're saying, Jeanne, that file -- that extension and that extension is an extension on filing your taxes, but not an extension on paying your taxes, which is due on Tax Day.

Jeanne Sahadi, thank you.

SAHADI: Thank you so much. Bye-bye.

ROSALES: Well, for many American -- Americans, coffee is more than just something to drink or sip on. It is an obsession. And the price of that coffee is about to spike as the Trump's tariffs, his tariffs threaten to raise prices on beans imported from all over the world.

I hit up some coffee shops personally here in Atlanta and talked with owners and coffee enthusiasts about their concerns.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: We love coffee. America runs on whatever coffee company.

ROSALES (voice-over): Americans may soon have to start rethinking their morning beverage routine, as President Trump's new tariff policy is about to brew up trouble for the coffee industry.

DONALD REESE, COFFEE MAN COFFEE SHOP REGULAR: It's hurting like the everyday person that will say a 10 percent increase is a lot. It might not be a lot to our administration, but to us, every day we drink it, it is a lot.

ROSALES: Coffee beans can only grow in tropical climates, so the U.S. imports its coffee beans mostly from Brazil, Colombia and Vietnam, along the Coffee Belt. It cannot be grown in most of the U.S., except for primarily in Hawaii.

DAVID HUNTER, CO-OWNER, COFFEE MAN COFFEE SHOP: This right here is the last shipment of coffee beans from Honduras that will get before the 10 percent tariff come into effect.

ROSALES: Devin Hunter, the co-owner of Coffee Man in Atlanta, tells us coffee from Brazil is already up nearly 30 percent over the past year because of unfavorable growing conditions.

[16:50:04]

And now, these tariffs make it a one-two punch.

Is it more a matter of this just being slightly aggravating, or is this like a five-alarm fire?

HUNTER: It's going to affect every coffee shop in America. I think, you know, every coffee roaster, every coffee shop is going to affect everyone. So, I think everyone is going to kind of feel the pain, the pain from this, because it's like your latte is probably going to go up.

ROSALES: President Trump says part of the incentive behind tariffs is to produce more things in America.

HUNTER: That's nice in theory, except that coffee can't really be grown in America. So it's like, I wish they maybe had thought that through. And there could be some exceptions for coffee.

ROSALES: But here's the problem: the USDA forecasts will consume nearly 3 billion pounds of coffee beans, yet only 1 percent of it can be sourced domestically. That's according to the nation's largest trade organization. Experts tell CNN there's simply no way we can just grow more coffee here in the United States. We have to import.

Hunter says unless something gives over the next month, he'll likely be forced to raise prices.

Some people would say, well, you as a business should absorb that 10 percent, not pass it along to the consumer. What do you say to that?

HUNTER: If we tried to absorb it, we might not be able to exist as a business.

ROSALES: It's now a mad scramble to stockpile beans at pre-tariff prices.

ROSALES (on camera): Devin told me it was a big sigh of relief to see that 90 day pause on reciprocal tariffs. Vietnamese beans, for example, were a 46 percent tariff, but still not out of the woods. He's expecting to see some impacts here with that 10 percent universal tariff still in play.

DONIE O'SULLIVAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: You mentioned Pelosi. What do you think she would be charged with in this scenario?

IVAN RAIKLIN, MAGA ACTIVIST: It's a simple statute. This is treason.

O'SULLIVAN: Treason? Yeah.

RAIKLIN: Absolutely. And I would like to see at the end of the due process, lawful capital punishment.

O'SULLIVAN: Will you be disappointed if in 12 months from now, somebody hasn't been executed for treason?

RAIKLIN: I think the nation will be furious.

O'SULLIVAN: He says even I could be a target.

RAIKLIN: I'm not sure yet if you are or are not on the deep state target list, because I haven't consumed all of the information that you've put forth to determine what your status should be.

O'SULLIVAN: Well, we've been hanging out --

RAIKLIN: As we ruin you.

O'SULLIVAN: As you are.

RAIKLIN: Just like you ruined us. An eye for an eye. Look up Leviticus as a Christian man.

ROSALES: That's all new episode of the whole story with Anderson Cooper. One whole hour. One whole story airs tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific only on CNN.

We are hours away from Blue Origin star-studded flight to the edge of space. Mondays launch will take six passengers, all women, including singer Katy Perry and journalist Gayle King, on one of the most closely watched missions yet. It will mark the first time in six decades that an all-female crew traveled to space. They will launch on the new Shepard vehicle, traveling to the Karman line, where space begins. And enjoy a few minutes of weightlessness before returning back down to Earth. The company has launched 10 crewed missions since 2021.

Okay, so egg prices are through the roof, but your kids are still expecting to decorate colorful treats for easter. So, what is a parent to do? Well, the maker of Jet-Puffed marshmallow is offering up an answer. Here it is.

The marshmallow brand is selling $2 easter marshmallow dye kits cheaper than eggs. In response to those egg sensitive prices you face at the grocery store. And when it comes to kids who would rather eat a marshmallow than a decorated egg anyway, so all of this may be a win- win.

Well, thank you for joining me today. I'm Isabel Rosales.
