JOHN BERMAN, CNN ANCHOR: New commentary this morning reacting to President Trump's social media post, depicting himself as Jesus or, as he puts it, a medical worker.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
RONNY CHIENG, HOST, "THE DAILY SHOW": Let's start with Vice President JD. Vance. He had to come out yesterday to defend President Trump from all the woke Christians who are trying to cancel him just because he might have said, I am Jesus, OK. Hey, get over it, snowflakes, where in the Trump bible does it say you can't worship false idols? So, poor J.D. Vance had to come out and explain why you don't get it.
J.D. VANCE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I think the president was posting a joke. And of course he took it down because he recognized that a lot of people weren't under his humor in that case.
CHIENG: Now, shut up. Shut up. It was a joke. What's the matter, you guys don't have jokes at Jesus camp? Everyone knows Trump posted this picture to be funny, right?
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor.
CHIENG: Wait, wait, what do you mean a doctor? OK, well, make up your mind. Is it a doctor or is it a joke? Or is it a doctor who is a joke, like a chiropractor?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BERMAN: With us now, CNN political analyst and national political correspondent for "Axios," Alex Thompson.
Alex, I see you laughing there. Obviously, late night comics are going to make light of this. They're going to make jokes about it.
What's a little bit less expected and more notable is the discomfort it continues to cause, I think, in Republican circles. What kind of legs does this have? What are you hearing and what are the concerns there?
ALEX THOMPSON, CNN POLITICAL ANALYST: What's most striking is that there has always been discomfort with some of these comments from Trump. I mean Trump attacked Pope Francis back in 2015, 2016. What is striking, though, to your point, is that Republicans are being public about their discomfort. You are seeing a number of commentators not just be critical but call what Trump did blasphemous. And then you have J.D. Vance going out there to try to play cleanup. Even last night at a TP USA event, you know, he sort of was a bit of mansplaining to the pope about not trying to comment on issues of theology or issues of governance.
And, you know, J.D. Vance also, I should note, has a book coming out later this year about his conversion to Catholicism. So, it is not just about Trump's current political standing. You are also seeing a number of Republicans thinking about the post-Trump future, including J.D. Vance. And that is part of the reason why they are voicing their discomfort in a way they haven't in the past.
BERMAN: Maybe especially J.D. Vance, right? A very deft politician. And watching him on stage last night at Turning Point, you got a sense of how he was trying to operate very carefully around these issues. But suggesting that the pope needs to be careful about theology. One wonders again whether he's treading on ground there that, you know, when you're talking about swing voters, Catholic voters in the country might be somewhat dangerous.
THOMPSON: Well, and especially in -- if we're going to project forward to 2028, talking about, you know, the rust belt states. There are a lot of Catholics in, you know, Pennsylvania and Michigan, Wisconsin. You know, J.D. Vance, you know, notably converted to Catholicism just a few years ago and has made it part of his, not just political identity, but his public identity as well, which is why he is publishing this book. And so, for President Trump to get in a public feud with the new first American born pope does put him in some, you know, interesting dancing territory. And you saw him dancing all over the stage on that last night.
BERMAN: Alex, now a fifth woman has come out accusing Eric Swalwell, now former Congressman Eric Swalwell, of sexual misconduct. She is the second woman to have flat out accuse him basically of rape. Now, Eric Swalwell denies the criminal charges, as it were. The charges that would be criminal, I should say.
He's out of Congress. He's not running for governor. But what fallout is there for the Democratic Party?
THOMPSON: Yes, the fallout is through the entire Democratic Party that now is claiming they are shocked. So shocked. They had no idea. And I can tell you, as a reporter, you know, this stuff was out there, you know, back when he ran for president in 2019.
Now, there were no credible reports of it at the time, in part because a lot of the women would not come forward.
[08:35:05] But for Democrats to act like they had never heard, you know, of these rumors before, just, you know, strains credulity. If they really wanted to look into it, they probably could have. And they didn't. And one of the biggest, you know, potential, like, political fallout for this comes from Senator Ruben Gallego of Arizona, who had been prepping his own presidential campaign and was roommates and, you know, considered best friends with Eric Swalwell and is also saying that, you know, he was deceived and had no idea.
And so, I think you're going to see political consequences throughout the Democratic Party, but particularly with Senator Gallego.
BERMAN: Something worth watching, to be sure.
Alex Thompson, one of our favorites. Thanks so much for coming on. Always great to talk to you.
Kate.
KATE BOLDUAN, CNN ANCHOR: Also this morning, President Trump speaking out in a new interview, says that he is confident that the economy will be quick to bounce back despite it taking a hit from the war with Iran. Here's what he said now to Fox Business.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: When this is over, I think the stock market is going to boom. It's already booming. Again, nobody thought we could be at 50,000 during my four terms on the Dow or 7,000 on the S&P.
And we hit numbers that nobody thought possible.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BOLDUAN: Joining us right now, Democratic Congressman Derek Tran of California serves on the Armed Services Committee. Thank you so much for being in here. I appreciate it.
President Trump also said this morning that the war will be over very soon, though he has been saying that very same thing for a month now. How close do you think they are?
REP. DEREK TRAN (D-CA), ARMED SERVICES COMMITTEE: Morning, Kate. Well, look, I have no idea. They're not sharing anything with us.
And this is an administration that has been unfettered in how they are responding to the international global -- on the global stage. So, you know, I hear about the war is going to end and from the news. But I have not seen any action where there is an off ramp to what's going on right now.
BOLDUAN: Yes. And there's also this kind of strange thing. The president had said that talks may resume soon but also is now saying in new interviews that he's not happy with the offer of a 20 year pause of Tehran's nuclear enrichment program that was made by the vice president in these negotiations.
I want to read for you what the president told The New York Post. He said, "I've been saying that they can't have nuclear weapons," of the offer, "so I don't like the 20 years. I don't want them (Tehran) to run to feel like they have a win."
What does this mean for round two of talks if the president either doesn't know or just doesn't like what they first offered?
TRAN: I think it's similar to the first round of talks, where you have a president that has put out there publicly that the deal is not going to happen. That is going to fail. How does his team go in and negotiate?
How do they diplomatically find a resolution to what's happening right now when our own leader, the president of the United States, does not believe in a deal?
BOLDUAN: John was just talking to Alex Thompson in part about the president's attacks against the Pope that continued again overnight with a new social media post. One of the questions is, though you are seeing commentators and even members of Congress speaking out, J.D. Vance trying to play cleanup, speaking out against the president's attacks on the Pope, do you think that it actually would go to the extent of pushing voters away from Trump and towards Democrats?
TRAN: 100 percent. I think what we're seeing today with President Trump is someone who's clearly out of his mind. Just the unhinged social media post that he's put out there has affected his polling numbers.
The fact that the American people are so focused on cost and affordability, and that's something this administration has not been focused on, that is all going to impact the Republicans in the midterms.
BOLDUAN: Again, yet to be seen. Eric Swalwell, he is out, leading some of the focus now to turn to a culture of secrecy around Capitol Hill, questions of did people know something, hear something, and not say something? Senator Ruben Gallego, a close friend of Swalwell's, he denied any knowledge of allegations but did say he had heard rumors over the years of Swalwell being flirty, I think is the way it was described.
As a member of the California congressional delegation, did you hear anything?
TRAN: I'm going to be honest. I did not. I'm a freshman. I'm a little bit of a year into my term.
[08:40:02]
I don't have a relationship with former Congressman Swalwell at all. I endorsed Katie Porter very early because she's from Orange County, and that's the portion of the district that I covered. So I didn't really hear anything, but I think he did the right thing by resigning. The focus has to be on his constituents and what's best served for them. The fact that he's no longer in office is a good thing.
BOLDUAN: Congressman Derek Tran, thanks so much for coming in.
John.
BERMAN: All right, I'm looking at my watch right now to make sure, it is April 15th. It's Tax Day. If you haven't filed your taxes, I don't know what you're waiting for. But, look, today is the first Tax Day where the president's big tax and spending cut bill kicks in and people can receive the benefits, theoretically, of them. So, how do they feel about it?
With us now, CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten.
All kinds of administration officials fanning out, touting the big, beautiful bill, as it's called, today.
HARRY ENTEN, CNN CHIEF DATA ANALYST: Yes.
BERMAN: How's it working?
ENTEN: It ain't working too good because Trump is paying the piper when it comes to taxes. And the American public.
Look at this trend. I mean, again, what massive trends we're seeing from term one to term two. Trump's net approval rating at this point on taxes. And term number one in 2018, remember, there was that tax cut that was just passed just before Tax Day back in 2018. Look at this, he was above water at plus two points. But down he goes. Down he goes. Look at this. He's at minus 28 points. His net approval rating on taxes down 30 points from term number one. If there are benefits that the American people are liking when it comes to the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, they are not, in fact, giving the two thumbs ups to Donald Trump when it comes to that.
BERMAN: I'm reading the fine print there.
ENTEN: Oh, yes, the fine print there. I leave fine print and John's able to find it. Among independents, he is 58 points underwater with independents when it comes to taxes. My goodness gracious.
BERMAN: I'm going to circle that.
ENTEN: Yes.
BERMAN: That is stunning. Again, he says he cut your taxes and people are 58 points opposed to it, independents.
ENTEN: Yes.
BERMAN: All right. In general, this is an interesting question. What do people say about taxes in general, whether they're fair?
ENTEN: Yes, I think this may be part of the equation of what is going on here.
Take a look at this. OK, say their income taxes are not fair or fair. Back in 2018, again at this point in Trump's term, number one, 61 percent of Americans said fair. There was a big upswing that said fair coming off of Obama to Trump. Trump got that benefit.
But look right now in term number two. Look at this. It's a flip flop. Now the plurality, 49 percent, say the taxes that they pay are not fair. That has risen 13 points from this point in Trump's term number one. And look at this, the fair has plummeted down to 47 percent. That is near an all-time low since 1999 who said that their taxes are fair. And John's off there shaking because these numbers are unbelievable.
BERMAN: Well, because it's after President Trump pushed through this so-called Big, Beautiful Bill, which he says, you know, will give people these tax cuts, which they presumably would be feeling today. So, how -- you know, what's approval overall of that now law?
ENTEN: OK. We've saved the best for last, or at least saved something good for last. And I think this kind of puts a nice big ribbon, a nice big bow on this segment.
Take a look here. Net approval rating of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Look at this. The American people, they don't like it. They don't like it. Look at this, 20 points underwater. And look, among independents, independents, the name of the game. We have seen Trump over and over and over again struggle with independents. And you see it right here. Look at this, 41 points underwater. No wonder that Donald Trump is struggling so much when it comes to the American public and taxes. Because the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act, the big, big, beautiful bill everyone was talking about, everyone's talking about, the American people, Johnny Berman, simply put, do not like it.
BERMAN: The signature legislative achievement as it is now mid-April heading into the midterm elections, this is where it stands.
Harold Enten, thank you very much for that.
ENTEN: Thank you, my friend.
BERMAN: Kate.
BOLDUAN: All right, sticking on the tax theme. There are plenty of tools to help you and people that can help you. Financial experts, though, are warning one place to be careful of, turning to A.I. to do it all for you.
CNN's Jeanne Sahadi has some new reporting on this. She's here with us now.
Through this entire thing -- your entire report is very helpful for people today and always. But talk to me about A.I. and what people need to know.
JEANNE SAHADI, CNN BUSINESS SENIOR WRITER: So, I was talking to former IRS Commissioner Danny Wuerffel, and he came out and said -- he -- and he -- let me say, he has overseen the use of A.I. at IRS. So, he's all in on, you know, A.I. for taxes.
BOLDUAN: Yes, he's not a skeptic.
SAHADI: Not a skeptic. But for people who think they're going to ChatGPT their way to filing their return today, especially if they haven't, you know, gotten all their stuff together, there's a few red flags for you. One, general use programs like ChatGPT or Google Gemini, they're not trained or engineered for compliance or accuracy. So --
BOLDUAN: That's a problem.
SAHADI: It's a problem. A lot of what you're going to get is based on the quality of your prompt. And if people are going to ChatGPT to figure things out, they're not a tax pro, you might get inaccurate or incorrect information. It's not that there's not some good information. There is.
The security of putting your personal information into these programs, you have no control over it.
[08:45:04]
So, if you upload your W-2 or your brokerage statement or your business expenses, you don't know where that's going. So, you want to be very careful about that as well.
BOLDUAN: So, tell me then what should -- what can -- what is the best advice when you're looking at it? How to avoid --
SAHADI: Yes.
BOLDUAN: How to avoid fees.
SAHADI: Sure.
BOLDUAN: How to speed your refund? What do you think is important for people?
SAHADI: If you're in the last few hours before filing, if you have everything together and you've got your return done, you want to, one, double check your work, make sure everything is correct. Typos, errors, omissions, that will just delay the processing of your return and possibly a refund if you're owed one.
If you think you owe money still for 2025, you want to do two things today. If you're not ready to file your return, file electronically on irs.gov for an extension and send in payment by midnight tonight of what you think you owe. Why? Because you'll be hit with two different types of penalties if you don't do that. The biggest of those is late to file penalty. That's equal to five percent of your balance per month until you pay it, plus interest, up to 25 percent of your balance. If in addition you pay nothing today, you will also be charged about half a percent on your balance, again, up to 25 percent plus interest. It adds up quick.
BOLDUAN: I would say so.
SAHADI: Yes. Yes.
BOLDUAN: And this is true news you can use from a human today.
SAHADI: Talk to humans. Yes.
BOLDUAN: Talk to humans. There's your advice.
SAHADI: Yes.
BOLDUAN: It's great to see you, Jeanne. Thank you so much.
SAHADI: Thanks.
BOLDUAN: John.
BERMAN: All right, this morning, a preview of the brand new episode of "Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever," from red light therapy to sound therapy pods, she digs into the trends shaping longevity medicine. The question is, what works and what doesn't?
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
KARA SWISHER, HOST, "KARA SWISHER WANTS TO LIVE FOREVER": Thank you.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What is that?
SWISHER: This is a red light mask. See, look, red lights. Allegedly will make you look like (INAUDIBLE). They can go anywhere from just $50 or less to thousands of dollars.
I feel ridiculous. Anyway. It's weird.
But forget this strange and somewhat scary mask. I'm going for the full body red light experience with my guide Amy.
This looks another scary coffin like situation. What's with the coffin?
AMY: OK. I'm --
SWISHER: Whoa! Oh.
AMY: I got to get my goggles on.
SWISHER: Get your -- oh, wow.
We would presume to be naked, but I'm -- thankfully we're not at the moment.
AMY: Yes. I mean maybe like in your underpants or something.
SWISHER: Right.
AMY: Are you comfortable? SWISHER: I feel like I'm in a -- like an air fryer, but, sure. Yes.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BOLDUAN: And you can watch "Kara Swisher Wants to Live Forever" Saturday at 9 p.m. here on CNN and the next day on the CNN app.
Coming up, CNN's Donie O'Sullivan catches a ride with Emily, a content creator who's been streaming her whole life, like, 24/7 for over four years.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
[08:52:17]
BOLDUAN: Imagine a life --
BERMAN: If you will.
BOLDUAN: If you will. Join us on this journey spent entirely online. No, we do leave the TV box, I promise.
Most of us may feel that that way is how we are all living, but nothing like what we're about to show you. For nearly four years, a Twitch streamer, known as Emilycc has been streaming nearly every waking and sleeping moment of her life.
BERMAN: Yes, of course, the big question is why? Why?
CNN's Donie O'Sullivan went around with her to find out.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
EMILY: Sorry, there's going to be a big backpack there.
DONIE O'SULLIVAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: No, this is -- this is fine.
EMILY: Is that OK?
O'SULLIVAN: Do you have a cat as well?
EMILY: Yes.
O'SULLIVAN: What's their cat's name?
EMILY: Bella.
O'SULLIVAN: Hi, Bella.
EMILY: Yes, she's comfortable in her carrier right now.
They're saying, be nice to CNN hitchhiker. Yes. And then someone said, who's this goofball?
O'SULLIVAN: Great.
EMILY: So, like, it's a mixture of people that are, like, either, will be --
O'SULLIVAN: Well, this goofball, you're going to be stuck with for the next two days, OK?
EMILY: Yes.
O'SULLIVAN: Emily's viewers are watching live. They're leaving comments in chats, and they can even pay to have their comments read aloud.
EMILY: Also, this is my emotional support chicken.
See, they're going to be mean.
O'SULLIVAN: That is so fun.
EMILY: How do you feel about that, though? Do you like it?
O'SULLIVAN: So you do (ph) James Corden (ph). I've gotten that before.
EMILY: I failed my driver's test three times.
O'SULLIVAN: Oh, that's great to know.
O'SULLIVAN (voice over): Emily joined Twitch when she was 19 to play "World of Warcraft" and to make friends online, but she pretty quickly realized that she could also make money.
EMILY: Someone gave me $1,500 within my first month of streaming to buy a new setup. And I quit my job and I started full time.
O'SULLIVAN: Was it -- the $1,500 you got to get started, was that a random or that was like a friend?
EMILY: No, it was a random person.
O'SULLIVAN: Really?
EMILY: Yes. Yes.
O'SULLIVAN: Huh, that's wild.
EMILY: Yes.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
BOLDUAN: That's one reaction, huh, that's wild.
Donie is here with us now with a closer look.
It's the latest installment of his series "Devoted," doing stories only the way Donie O'Sullivan can.
Talk to me about everything you learned.
DONIE O'SULLIVAN, CNN SENIOR CORRESPONDENT: Yes. So, Emily streams on Twitch, which I think a lot of people are familiar with. And lots of -- many Twitch streamers stream for many hours every day, seven, eight, nine hours. I don't know how they do it. I know you guys do three hours in here --
BOLDUAN: That's enough.
O'SULLIVAN: And you show up -- you sleep in here and then --
BOLDUAN: Oh, Berman doesn't leave.
O'SULLIVAN: Yes, yes, yes. But she's been going 24/7 basically. She will even stream herself sleeping. When she --
BOLDUAN: That would be so bad. I've been told by my kids what I look like when I sleep. Sorry.
O'SULLIVAN: Well -- yes. Yes. That's talk in your sleep can get you in trouble. Trust me.
[08:55:01]
But, you know, obviously, there's times where she will turn the camera away. Like, for instance, when she goes to the restroom.
So, actually, when we were -- we were on this road trip along Route 66, because she was moving to Los Angeles from Texas, moving into what's called a streamer's house. So, she's living in L.A. now with a bunch of streamers who stream live all day from the home. But when we took a rest stop, she gave me control of her stream for a couple of minutes. And here's how it went.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
O'SULLIVAN: CNN should gift 100 subs so she has to put on the pizza outfit. You're speaking a different language to me.
You don't have to read them all.
Well, I am reading them all because I find this interesting.
EMILY: Wait, wait, wait, wait.
O'SULLIVAN: What?
Oh.
EMILY: There you go.
O'SULLIVAN: They have been very kind.
EMILY: Yay!
O'SULLIVAN: Sit on in. Join my stream, Emily.
EMILY: OK. What's that?
O'SULLIVAN: What's "w" mean?
EMILY: We got $100. Well, I got $100.
O'SULLIVAN: How do you know that?
EMILY: Because there's an alert. Like when someone gives $100, this alert will play.
O'SULLIVAN: OK.
EMILY: So, they're -- they're a gigachad (ph).
(END VIDEO CLIP)
O'SULLIVAN: So, yes, I felt so old. I was, like, oh--
(CROSS TALK)
BOLDUAN: I was like, I'm sorry, I missed half of the words that were said.
O'SULLIVAN: I know it's a different language.
BOLDUAN: Yes.
O'SULLIVAN: But so there's this chat. You saw the sort of comments on screen. So, there's like a couple hundred people always watching Emily, and she's great and everything, but I have no idea why, because most of the time she is literally just sitting around.
But this is the chat. So she's constantly -- she's constantly communicating with chat. And that's also where you can see there she can make money. So, people just drop in $10, $100, whatever.
And she's doing this now full time, as her full-time job. So, it's crazy. But I will say, the sort of disturbing thing, I guess, that I found was as I started thinking about how much I use social media and how many times I pick up my phone every day --
BOLDUAN: Yes.
O'SULLIVAN: You know, she's doing extreme version of it, but most of us are in front of a screen ten, 12, 14 hours a day between everything, you know.
BERMAN: So, we're like testing the boundaries of the metaphysical universe right now, because I'm told that the feed on our screen right now is of her Twitch.
BOLDUAN: Right now?
O'SULLIVAN: Oh, this is her live right now?
BERMAN: Live, watching us, talking about her, watching us, talking about her, watching us, talking about her.
O'SULLIVAN: Oh, wow.
BOLDUAN: Hi, Emily.
O'SULLIVAN: OK.
BERMAN: So, it just can go forever.
O'SULLIVAN: We have -- I believe this is the matrix.
BERMAN: And we're going to talk about her behind her back for a second.
BOLDUAN: Yes, I was going to be like, you seem delightful.
O'SULLIVAN: I'd better say nice things about Emily. Yes. Yes.
Hi, Emily.
BERMAN: But can we talk about, like, the idea of, like, maybe mental health here, how healthy this is and the awareness about whether how healthy this is.
O'SULLIVAN: She acknowledges that she would not recommend other people do this.
BOLDUAN: Oh, really?
O'SULLIVAN: Yes. She says that it is not good for her mental health.
BOLDUAN: Oh.
O'SULLIVAN: She's also a young woman on the internet.
BOLDUAN: Yes.
O'SULLIVAN: So, she has been -- I mean she's had stalking issues, many harassment issues.
BOLDUAN: Because it -- you would know where she is.
O'SULLIVAN: That's a -- yes. So, she has to sometimes take some steps like that for her own safety. But, you know, I do think -- I did find myself, anytime I came back to asking her, well, why don't you just stop, you know, and she was like, well, I can stop anytime I want. But then, you know, take a step back from it and it's, you know, we're all hooked in our own ways into these devices. And even I saw there, you know, we often talk about social media addiction in terms of the user, but for a creator, you saw that, the dopamine hit there. If you're doing this chat and you're getting this constant, positive reinforcement and also some money coming in, it's very hard to leave that.
BOLDUAN: Is it always positive reinforcement though? I mean, I have --
BERMAN: Asking for a friend.
BOLDUAN: Asking for a friend. What did you see? Yes.
O'SULLIVAN: It's not. And, you know, you can sort of see that too. And I will say, there's an element -- I mean, look, "The Truman Show" starring Jim Carrey, Orwell, 1984, this is what people, you know, for decades considered a nightmare.
What's bizarre, I guess, is that for a lot of gen z making success as a streamer in this way, even if it's going 24/7, is a new version of the American dream.
BOLDUAN: And I was reliably told from the control room that she just said on the stream, Donie is the best.
O'SULLIVAN: Oh, OK. Very good. I paid her for that.
BOLDUAN: There you go.
BERMAN: Yes, there's the dopamine fix. The dopamine fix. Be careful.
BOLDUAN: That's the dopamine hit right there.
(CROSS TALK)
O'SULLIVAN: I'm so careful.
BOLDUAN: Thank you, Donie. Really fascinating.
You can catch Donie's series "Devoted" on the CNN app.
Look at that strapping fella.
O'SULLIVAN: Same shirt.
BOLDUAN: Same --
O'SULLIVAN: I only have one shirt.
BOLDUAN: Doesn't change ever.
O'SULLIVAN: I only have one shirt.
BOLDUAN: He smells delightful though.
BERMAN: That's really is fascinating. I appreciate you (INAUDIBLE). You too.
All right, a new study from Denmark finds the use of Tylenol during pregnancy was not associated with autism in children. This matches the 2024 study from Sweden that also found no link. President Trump and HHS Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr. previously said infants and pregnant women should not take the drug, linking it to autism. Kennedy walked back those claims a bit, saying evidence does not show that Tylenol definitely causes autism, but that it should still be used cautiously.
Former University of Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore was sentenced to 18 months probation as part of a plea agreement that drops his initial stalking charges. Moore was facing up to six months in jail for a confrontation he had with an executive assistant after he was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with her.
[09:00:03]
Moore was fired from the university in December after coaching for two seasons.
