7:02 am
protests in more anger on ucla is campus yesterday demonstrators breached the security barrier meant to separate opposing protest groups. police scrambled officers in riot gear on the virginia tech campus. protesters were detained as the crowd chanted at police. shame on you university officials say the on-campus encampment had worsened with the potential to become unsafe arrests have been made at campuses nationwide as more schools turn to police, to rein in the demonstrators. some schools are threatened to suspend students and could cancel upcoming commencement ceremonies. we have breaking news out of columbia university to tell you about the epicenter of the college protests a short time ago, school official said talks with student organizers have failed to come to an agreement columbia is asking
7:03 am
that protesters at the encampment, quote, voluntarily disperse, end quote, cnn's omar our men as joins me from the columbia campus. omar. >> tell us what that means yeah. so jim, for starters, columbia university said definitively today, they will not divest from israel, which of course has been at the center of the encampment led protests here and university essentially hitting their negotiations with students are effectively over. now i want to read part of the statement released by university president minouche shafik, which says in part both sides in these discussions put forward robust and thoughtful offers and worked in good faith to reach common ground. we thank them all for their diligent work, long hours, a careful effort, and wish they had reached a different outcome. of course, no agreement here it goes on to say we urge those in the encampment to voluntarily dispersed. we're consulting with a broader group in our community to explore alternative internal options to
7:04 am
end this crisis. as soon as possible. and that falls along similar lines. what we're hearing from over 20 house democrats now essentially urging the university to disband this encampment or essentially resign. now, some key points here, because while columbia has said they will not divest in israel, they did offer an expedited timeline for new proposals in front of their body that does consider divestments. they also offered to him vest in health and education in gaza. they also said that while they've worked hard to offer a constructive environment for dialogue and protests, the encampment has created an unwelcome environment for many jewish students to the point, so much so that many have felt unsafe on campus the president has described as a tragedy. and of course, we're a little over two weeks from graduation and the university is saying definitively, they will have a commencement and part because some of these graduating seniors started remotely and we still haven't heard from the students on how they'll respond for the clearly they plan to
7:05 am
have this encampment done, or at least resolved by the time graduation gets here, whatever that may look like. >> all right. omar jimenez. thank you very much. let's get that reaction right now. joining me now is taiji vijay kumar. she's the president of the columbia college student council in for the sake of transparency, we should do. she was an intern last year with cnn's parent company, warner brothers discovery. taiji, hey, thanks for joining us. we appreciate what is your reaction to this announcement from colombia? >> yeah i mean i'm not in on negotiations and it's unfortunate that an agreement wasn't reached. i'm not like particularly surprised, but i'm also glad that there was a commitment to not bring the nypd back onto campus? >> and the school is asking the encampment to voluntarily disburse. do you think that's going to happen? do you think people are to voluntarily just leave knowing columbia students? it's kind of hard to say. i think that some students, if there's a
7:06 am
guarantee of their amnesty made, maybe but i have a feeling that students will either reroute or yeah, like continue in a different way and how do you think the school administration is handling all of this right now. >> and what about the presence of the nypd? >> yeah. i think the administration is like in a tricky spot. i don't know what they could be doing. that's better other than negotiating differently, honestly, but i think that the presence of the nypd has been causing a real strain on campus. i know a lot of scenes go really, really unfaithful around the police. i know that especially with outside protesters and police officers, i know that a lot of students feel really overly surveilled here but yeah, i think that the administration made the right call and sending away again ipd and saying that they aren't going to be invited back to campus two deal with the protester. i think
7:07 am
that was the right decision and say, let's talk about what some of these protesters have been saying. >> that let's play a little bit of sound from a student there who is a leader of the pro-palestinian protests. let's listen to that and talk about on the other side design is don't deserve to live comfortably, let alone zionists don't deserve to live taiji, i mean, this is something a lot of people are struggling with, are the leaders of these protests doing enough to send the message that anti-semitism is wrong and not welcome on campus. what's your view on that? >> yeah. i mean, obviously that's like an a borons statement to make and i think i believe that there was an apology made for that statement of course, like not a signal that should be paid at all. i do know that there has been a lot of discussion on antisemitism within the protests. i think a large population of people who are in
7:08 am
the encampment are jewish there have been passover seder is in shabbat dinners and people who teachings about antisemitism and educating like what it is to be actively not anti-symmetric and stuff like that. so i know that their effort to make juicing to go welcome both on campus and within the encampment. >> of course, there's no room for antisemitism on our campus what's going on here? i mean, why is it that you have students going at each other, that this is continuing? is it that the protesters feel like they're just not being heard and until they feel like they're being heard, they're just not going to give up these tents and move out. can you put your finger on it? >> yeah. i think a lot of it. is that there are always calls for productive and respectful discourse. of course, it's hard to foster discourse when say
7:09 am
you're not giving, giving a platform as students. so when, since for justice in palestine, we were suspended and just ways for peace, what else is spended like it kind of took away an avenue for students to really voiced beliefs. and i think that's what us to where we are now i also think that a lot of the real tension is not from the encampment, but from external protests too, are outside of our gauge. and our maybe using different and more extreme rhetoric than our sequence on yeah, i mean, that is the thing that i mean, obviously the pro-palestinian protesters are responding to what's happening in the news and folks ought to listen to that note. >> no question about it. >> but at the same time, there's just this feeling that there's some of these students just don't get it that you just can't say things that are anti-semitic. >> and it just continues the cycle of people not listening to one another yeah i mean, i think that students are being
7:10 am
receptive in like the response and the feedback that they've been getting to their protests. >> i do think that there is probably like a difference in understanding of terminology that is at the root of what some protest mr. think is anti-semetic versus not antisymmetric but again, i don't really have much else to say about that all right, taiji, we'll have you back. >> we'll continue the conversation thank you so much for your time this morning. we appreciate it. in an atlantic today, faculty at emory university are beginning a no confidence vote on this school's president that move follows violent arrests on thursday, a number of faculty members have spoken out about the presence of police on campus and the tactics used by some of the officers to clear the encampment set up by protesters. so as soon as nick valencia joins us now, nick, you were caught up in this
7:11 am
violence. so just a few days ago, tell us more about the response from the university. what's happening now? >> yeah. good morning, jim. the anger are the remnants of that anger is still left over here this morning, facilities crews were out here cleaning some graffiti here that was present on this side. but the real event, as you mentioned, happened here on thursday, were those ceasefire demonstrations turned very quickly into the violent arrests of 28 people, 20 of them with affiliations to the university. we were nearly arrested. but thankfully, we weren't we were allowed to bear witness. we want to warn you this is what we saw and we want to warn you here the footage is very graphic et on
7:13 am
7:14 am
university president. here we understand the faculty will be given balance today, and that referendum will be tallied up on wednesday as symbolic move here by faculty to send a message to the university president that they don't have confidence in his leadership here in this institute of higher learning jim yeah, i still can't get over this professor who was thrown to the ground. what do we know about her? how is she doing and what is going on with the cops. there at emory? it just looks like very heavy-handed tactics for protests that was our first impression on first blush. >> it seemed as though that they were outraged. they didn't think that everyone was part of emory university. in fact, we understand at seven the morning, they asked people for their ideas. none of them provided the ids, so they lumped them all together related to the cop city protesters. and we know that is a different issue here, but it's related those movements have some overlap. and it seemed as though police, when they approached the demonstrators, they just really held everyone, treated everyone with a heavy hand that
7:15 am
professor karelin fallen. she was she spent the night into cab county jail along with 27 others. she was released on bond and very quickly here, jim, i spoke with some defense attorneys and over the weekend, emory officials are negotiating with defense attorneys and are considering dropping the charges against those involved on thursdays demonstration. that's yet to be seen though jim my goodness, i just i can't i still can't get over that. aren't nick valencia. thank you so much, really appreciate a great report in the meantime, in new york, at any moment, judge juan, were shawn could rule on whether donald trump violated the gag order in his historic criminal hush money trial. the trial is dark today, giving jurors and extra day two digest what they heard during the first full week of testimony on friday, the defense finished its cross-examination of former tabloid publisher david pecker tomorrow, banker gary farro will resume his testimony. he is expected to walk through the jury, through the paper trail at the center of this trial, joining me now for more on this is cnn legal analysts former us attorney michael moore.
7:16 am
michael, we're we're waiting to see what the judge does on the gag order. it sort of feels like this has been taken a while. what do you think well i'm glad to be with you. this is sort of the sausage making of a trial. and judges deal with issues at their own speed. >> they decide when they're going to make a ruling and the real issue on the gag order is that this has been an ongoing problem for trump. i mean, he just can't keep quiet, so probably about the time the judge decides he may do something or have a remedy in place, then that changes and maybe needs to be increased somewhat because there had been another statement, another comment on a witness and that type of thing in violation of the order i really think you're going to hear from the judges week about what he will do on the gag order. i think he's going to probably take trump out and woodshed him a little bit in the back and get on him and impose some kind of fine. i don't think we ought to be expected incarceration. i just don't think that's a likely outcome from this, but i think the judge will read it. the riot act gave him a fine and
7:17 am
then at the same time, i think the judge is memory will be long and he'll be thinking at the end of the trial, if in fact there's a the mixture when it comes to sentencing, these are the kinds of things that influenced judges is i think about whether or not somebody has accepted eight and responsibility, whether or not there's been a continued to phi us through the process. these are the kind of things can impact, uh, judges. they talk about what to do if there's a conviction and what about this upcoming banker testimony that's coming up, folks might be thinking, oh, that sounds like pretty dry chewing their and what do you think? >> my right okay. >> i think it will be like it would be pretty dry. paper trails. cases are just not excited. cases. and so that's why it's going to be important throughout this trial for the prosecutor to sort of keep the interest of the jury, pete, and he's going to need to lay out some good witnesses and sort of task on paper pieces to it. but when you get to bottom so get in the weeds on a piper case, you can lose a jury, especially for a trial that's expected to take six to eight weeks, even
7:18 am
in a case like this, where this kind of historic importance. so i think this is just something he has to do. it's a building block is i think about well, how was this a debit cooperation set up? what kind of efforts went into making the paint? payments to get in the account setup. these are things that begin to fill in pieces of the story. certainly not the bulk of the prosecution's case, but they will likely intersperse some of this more dry testimony with things like michael cohen, things like pigs, witnesses like maybe stormy daniels, because you got to keep the jury engage. the fear is that you take a case that has a lot is sensational and turn it into something that you say that dry, it can lose a juries interest. >> yeah, it's not going to stay dry for a long. that's for sure. i michael war. >> you thanks a lot, really appreciate it. all right. >> still to come kristi noem on the defensive this morning after the south dakota governor admitted to shooting and killing her 14 month-old puppy

7:24 am
american, israeli keith siegel. in the video, siegel pleaded for israel to negotiate a hostage release deal at appeared. he was speaking under some duress and then cannot verify where or when the video was shot. meanwhile, the secretary of state is in saudi arabia right now as hamas is considering a new deal, calling for the release of hostages held since october 7 in exchange for a pause in the fighting in gaza this morning tony blinken said, israel has presented hamas with quote, and extraordinarily generous proposal, adding that the militant group is the only thing standing between the people of gaza and a ceasefire. let's get the latest from cnn national security correspondent kylie atwood. kylie over the state department for his kylie what can you tell us about this proposal? >> well, listen, as you said, the secretary state very clearly this morning saying that in the opinion, what has been put on the table by israel for hamas is an extraordinarily generous proposal. and he called on hamas to accept that deal. he also said that they have to accept it quickly and
7:25 am
our reporting is some of the demands that israel had been making has been lessened. and so it appears that this could be a proposal that hamas could accept and the breeze in for him saying that hamas has to act quickly because the backdrop here is that israel husband saying for some time they plan to invade rafah and us officials are very eyes wide open about the fact that they are likely to go ahead with that invasion if there isn't an agreement here for a ceasefire and for hostages to be released. so time is truly of the essence yeah, kylee, a source tells cnn that there's a worry inside the state department that israel is not using american weapons in accordance with international law what's going on there? yeah. so there's not a consensus opinion within the state department as to if israel is using those american made weapons in accordance with international law. that's according to a state department official who spoke with my colleague, jennifer hansler, and this is important because
7:26 am
this is all going to come to afford next week, there is requirement due to a new national security memorandum that president biden signed at the end of last year for the state department, for the secretary to provide an actual assessment as to if all of the countries using american-made weaponry are doing so in accordance with international law, these countries are supposed to provide their rationale there explanations for the fact that they do believe they are in accordance with international law. the state department assesses that provides that and to congress. but because there's disagreement within the state department over this right now, it's going to be interesting to see what the final determination from the secretary of state actually is next week when he provides that assessment to congress jim. >> all right. very important development. there are kylie atwood. thank you very much. in the meantime, world central kitchen is resuming its operations in gaza. this is almost a month after seven of its aid workers were killed by israeli airstrikes the attack raad worldwide condemnation and israel's military called it a

7:33 am
college, part of columbia university, noah. >> let me just start with you because today we had that statement from columbia university think they weren't able to come to an agreement with the student protesters. what was your reaction to that? how do we how do we get out of this well, i'm very glad you asked about the negotiation process because honestly, part of why i'm absolutely fuming over this situation is that the administration is appearing thank to take these demand seriously, which is absolutely insulting because i will remind everybody that i won't report to know all of what's going on. >> part of the issue is that we aren't getting a lot of transparency. but what i do know is that some of the demands at least are to divest from israel and to cancel our tel aviv university program. and for the university even to appear to consider this is just absolutely a slap in the face to two israeli students and all jewish students.
7:34 am
>> no. i mean, they're asking the protesters to voluntarily disperse their have you heard whether or not there's a deadline what do you know? so we've been hearing talks of deadlines and all this pretty much since this thing started, which is to say that if we are talking about deadlines, they've not been enforced, they've been constantly pushed back so the university appears to continuously rollover on that as of right now. i don't know what the next set deadline is, but i will say in terms of this discussion of voluntary dispersion it's not going to happen if they've, they've been doing this for over a week now. and it's very clear that that's including after serious arrests and suspensions, which we know i'll now have been lifted to certain extents for everybody. and because of that, it i am not optimistic that there will be a voluntary
7:35 am
disbursal. i think a lot of us are honestly expecting another bout of escalation on that point item i wanted to ask you, i mean, how much of this is being inflamed you think by the police presence we were showing some of that video from nick valencia earlier where if you saw that professor getting thrown to the ground by police, how much is that inflaming and what do you think about what's taking place on these campuses and how we can ratchet things down yes, it really quickly, first of all, i'm so proud of student leaders like noah, who are representing their community strongly. >> unfortunately, but without harassing, intimidating, or violating rules, there is a way to do it, which is part of the answer to how we how we deal with these issues. >> it's really hard to watch police interventions at these encampments and protests. however, these students are brazenly and willfully violating the clear policies of the universities. they are being warned over and over and over again. and unfortunately, we've seen several assaults
7:36 am
and other issues of safety impacting jewish students and other students. and so i don't envy the decisions of university leaders. they have after a store, it safety and basic campari kept operations to their universities? >> yeah. no. i mean, i'm a little worried. >> columbia says it's still plans to hold a commencement what do you think? you know just to bounce off of what adam was saying, do you think the cops have been too heavy handed? so in regards to the graduation situation, i will say things are not looking great. i'm basing this off of. we ended our last week of classes on zoom and on top of that, we've now seen that usc has i don't know exactly how they're structuring their graduation if it's completely canceled, are or not, but they have canceled at least part of it. and in any case, they are altering that process. so because of that, and in
7:37 am
conjunction with the fact that we appear to see no real progress being made in terms of getting these students off the lawns and continuing to set up for graduation. >> i think things are things are looking a little grim. >> i'm i'm not super optimistic with that being said. i would be absolutely i would be so embarrassed if the university were to capitulate to these students. its own students bullying, it's administration and dictating the terms of how we finish the school year and how we graduate. i mean, i would be i would just be absolutely humiliated on behalf of columbia. and as a as a columbia grad at that point regarding the police presence, i will say i have no problem with it. all of my zionist friends and all of my jewish friends have no problem with it. we appreciate the police presence. however, we are we are getting to a point where they're not really doing anything, which is why we're
7:38 am
getting a little bit frustrated because we appreciate the gesture and we appreciate them being here if they will actually protect us. >> but farm with how it's being handled on other campuses? know not to not to jump in there. but when you see professors getting thrown to the ground, i mean that what that doesn't sound like. it's helping doesn't look like it's helping well, so we're not experiencing that at columbia. >> in fact, as i was saying, the police aren't really doing anything which is part of the problem. a lot of jewish students have tried to go to them to help get escorts to various places on campus at throughout throughout the day and also dropped the evening. they've been met with explanations that that's not their role. they can't do that, which is obviously confusing to us but i think that that's that's the real issue is that they're not doing their job to protect the students, and they're also not doing their job to get the students off the lawns, which is to my knowledge what they were first enlisted four. >> no all right. well, adam and

7:44 am
>> but after it attacked a flock of chickens, no shot at execution style in a gravel pit. this is according to her book, she is now claiming in a post on social media i've followed the law and was being a responsible parent, dog owner and neighbor. >> that's what she says. let's discuss with cnn political commentator, republican strategist alice stewart and cnn poll local commentator and democratic strategist maria cardona there, the host of the podcast, hot mics, left to right. ladies. >> good morning. both of you. >> and people are obviously second over noem killing this puppy i've got my mug here of duke. he's with me every day i just can't imagine, like, how do you look into in areas on screen right there. i mean, dogs are as americans baseball an apple pie. i just like who could look into those eyes and do such a thing. i mean, that's the thing i've been struggling with all weekend, but also why would you brag about it in a book? i don't get it. she trying to prove something to trump her explanation and her defense is that this shows that she's able
7:45 am
to make tough decisions and make difficult decisions. look as a pet owner, we all have pet owners. i love the heck out of my dog. >> a tough decision for a dog owner is having that decision to put your dog down at the end of life, not blowing the head off a puppy that you can't trace great that's not a tough decision. >> that is just heartless, quite frankly. and look, she says she was on a farm. it's in a rural area. i've been on many farms. i know many people that live on farms. they don't go around shooting the family pet. so look, i think this is a bad issue for her. she's going to have a rough time ahead moving forward on this issue. whether or not this has an impact on if she's a vp candidate or or whatnot in the future. i just can't imagine her thinking about killing her dog, doing it, writing about it in a book, and then doubling and tripling down that this was the right thing to do, doesn't make me she's being considered for vice it feels intentional like okay. look, what i could do, i can kill a puppy. >> exactly. and i think sadly,
7:46 am
that's probably what she and maybe many others believe is what donald trump is looking for the kind of strength, the kind of lack of empathy and sadly you know, maybe trump does like this. i mean, i hope hope not, but and strong about killing. >> there is, there was absolutely nothing strong about it. and in fact, i would go further to say this is a huge red flag and a warning sign about her. i mean, that is the behavior that you see out of sociopaths because killing animals. i mean, remember the kind of grief that mitt romney got just for putting the families talk on the roof i think. and i hope this puts her completely out of the running for vp certainly for the american public that is not going to be the acceptable. >> she out of the running who knows what the ultimate decision will be? >> donald trump fortunately, has some tremendous candidates to be vp, or you can go down the full list of doug burgum,
7:47 am
tim scott, at stefanik and many others marco rubio. many others. so she is one that was potentially on that list. i can see where she might not be on that listening. >> some of those rivals were putting up pictures over the weekend. i think we might have some of those tweets might be ready kari lake, i think ron desantis were all tweeting about their dogs that's smarter than that is not by accident. >> i didn't want to push back a little on my friend ria, who are trying to link too much. this is what donald trump would want. look, i can't imagine anyone outside of yourself thinking this was a good thing to do. so i would really sweet little bit on linking this to other republicans thinking this is a show of strength. i mean, i hope you're right. yeah. maria, let me ask you about this pole over the weekend, the new cnn poll showing trump with this lead over biden, i mean, a lot of democrats looked at this and spit out their coffee on sunday morning morning the cbs battleground poll over the weekend did show a tight race and multiple swing-state. so the numbers are all over the
7:48 am
place. it's april and people say it's april, it's early, but may. yeah, it's almost mei. mei is not that early there's still six months left. >> i did not split up my coffee. i had a very nice calming cup of coffee yesterday, even after seeing this poll because look, the trend with all of the other national polls is that the race is tightening a lot of the other national polls, including the one that you mentioned, cbs has joe biden either tied or ahead two or three points? the cbs poll had joe biden ahead and michigan tied and all of the other battlegrounds states what the what the biden campaign is doing is the smart thing to do, which is they are rolling up their sleeves. they're doing the work they are having joe biden go to all the battleground states. he is whipping up a storm in terms of the travel that he is doing, going around telling all of the americans about the accomplishments, what he has done. he's going to do, well, donald trump is stuck in a court. >> the other thing that's in that poll we and we have to read them we're out of time.
7:49 am
but the other thing that's in that poles it shows that a lot of americans view down trump's presidency. as i say, he says, and as a failure which is extraordinary given the fact that 1 million people died from covid yeah, i mean look, if the poll based on this poll, if the election were held today, donald trump would go from the courthouse to the white house. no questions asked. but guess what it's not today. but you look at this his presidency ended with an insurrection at the capitol. what maria, how is it that the democrats have not been able to get that message across to voters and that they can't break through this short-term memory. >> well, again, i will look at the other polls that actually show democrats have been able to break through and let's remember, jim, in 2022, everyone thought that a huge red wave was going to happen. everyone was showing these exact same kinds of polls where the economy was the number one issue when in fact, a lot of americans put democracy and rights. >> so they're getting a little
7:50 am
too cocky up. >> in addition to the economy, i think the other cross tabs to look at in this poll or the fact that biden is underwater and has strong disapproval ratings and how he handled the economy in this with gaza and israel is going to really damage the challenge right now. >> it's not a threat when i talked i talked to a lot of democratic operatives over the weekend in office out of what they were all worried about that that watch we'll keep talking about are alice. thanks a lot appreciate it coming up. we love duke and all for babies out there coming up after 16 seasons, wnba icon candace parker's stepping off the court to look back at her legend their career next every piece of evidence tells a story. how would really happened. jesse. l. martin, sunday's it, nine on cnn rose sparks engineered for the spontaneous, a dual action formula with the active ingredients of viagra and sialic faster acting and
