that was basically tossed aside by law enforcement. they restricted all of the demonstrators, pushed them back. we watched as they took them away in custody one by one in zip ties. the protesters said they did not have weapons. they largely did not resist. they also didn't give themselves up. they stood, arm in arm, for the most part, pushed up against here. finely, when they had nowhere else to go, taken into custody. it was some of the most intense hours we have seen play out in what has been a nationwide movement with campuses and encampments happening all over the country. we're watching as this continues to play out across membering. this morning 50 arrested during a police operation clearing the protest encampment at ucla. this massive police presence moving in earlier this morning. dismantling the encampment here. l.a.p.d. declaring a city wide tactical alert and california highway patrol officers in riot gear responded to the crowd,

going to have a big victory and i think there will be no violence. he suggested the lack of violence depends on who wins. i don't think we're going to have that. i think we're going to win. but he added, and if we don't win, it depends. it always depends on the fairness of an election. ending a speech overnight in michigan, trump recounted how he did, in fact, ask secret service to take him to the capitol on january 6. in an interview not long after the attack on the capitol, trump told me that if he had gone during the riot, he would have been well received. >> i was thinking about going back during the problem to stop the problem, doing it myself. secret service didn't like that idea very much. i could have done that. do you know what? i would have been very well received. >> reporter: trump's comments about the possibility of violence echo something that his former chief strategist steve bannon told me as trump was preparing for this presidential run. i asked bannon if he was worried

about violence and he told me no because we're going to win. george? >> george: just to underscore this is not an isolated incident. this is a constant on the campaign trail for donald trump? >> reporter: absolutely. he has repeatedly refused to say that he would accept results. there's always this possibility of violence that floats in the background of what he is saying. >> george: jon karl, thank you very much. donald trump's criminal trial set to resume in manhattan. former president again faces accusations that he violated the judge's gag order. aaron katersky is at the courthouse. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. before the jury hears testimony here today, the judge will consider whether to hold trump in contempt again. prosecutors say four of his recent statements outside of court, hallway here, on the campaign trail or in an interview with our station ran afoul of the gag order, prohibiting swipes, verbal swipes at witnesses and the jury. the last time we had one of these hearings, when trump's attorneys argued his statements

were permissible, the judge told him, you're losing all credibility with the court and he fined trump $9,000. today trump's defense will have a chance to cross-examine keith davidson, the attorney who brokered the $130,000 hush payment to adult film actress stormy daniels. the defense has said that payment was meant to protect trump's family from embarrassing stories but davidson has testified the only reason trump wanted to silence daniels was because the "access hollywood" tape had come out and his campaign couldn't take another sex scandal. whit? >> whit: thank you. former president trump also weighed in on the battle over abortion and defending his support of state based restrictions, as florida's six week ban takes effect, and arizona lawmakers vote to repeal their strict civil war era ban. rachel scott is in detroit this morning with the latest. rachel, good morning. >> reporter: hey, whit, good morning. donald trump has been focused on his criminal trial. this is the first time we've

public pressure. arizona lawmakers, including two republican stated senators, voteding to repeal an 1864 near total abortion ban passed a half century before women had the right to vote. abortion rights could be on the ballot in as many as 13 states this november including right there in arizona and florida where voters could ultimately have the final say either way, janai. >> janai: this will be one that we are watching. thanks for that. now a possible school shooting thwarted in wisconsin. police taking down a 14-year-old boy with what appeared to be a rifle before he was able to get inside the middle school. chief justice correspondent pierre thomas is in washington with details. good morning, pierre. the kid was just 14. >> reporter: janai, good morning. this story is tragic on so many levels. police suggesting they had no choice but to kill one of their own children. the suspect was a student from the area. this morning a small town

and counting, that number will probably go higher, have been arrested taken away in zip ties one by one. they were all across this encampment here. they had essentially barricaded themselves in at the edge. metal barricade, plywood boards. last night at 6 p.m. law enforcement declared this an unlawful gathering. they said everybody who stayed was violating the law, would be taken into custody. overnight law enforcement brought in hundreds of people. they approached, went back, formulated the strategy. up until about 3 a.m. this morning when it got really intense. was saw law enforcement firing flash bangs. it was very disorienting. there were some officers that had less than lethal rounds they would fire as they got close. you see all the barricade, the plywood. they basically pulled that apart, the edges of the encampment until they were face to face with the demonstrators. the demonstrators said they weren't going to have weapons or

fight back. it also means they wouldn't give up. law enforcement kind of cut across with the building, pushed them in and restricted them as they pushed them back. and surrounded them so the demonstrator, who were trying to hold the line, they were basically spread too thin. eventually they pushed them back up against the library to what was a single file line. they broke them apart one by one, put them into zip ties and took them away individually. these demonstrators, for the most part, held that line up until the very final moment. basically all of them were steadfast. they did not seem to be surprised that they were being taken away. this has been a full week where they had been here. they were also prepared tporb for this eventual confrontation. they had been supplies that had been brought in. now that the encampment is over, it doesn't mean the

demonstrations are completely over. over here, you can see this law enforcement presence. they barricaded this area where the encampment is. there are protestses on the other side, people who supported these demonstrator, that are still championing these causes as this continues to move forward. certainly not the ends of it here in ucla or across the country. george? >> george: trevor ault, thank you very much. we are going to turn to the trial of a massachusetts woman accused of murdering her boyfriend, a boston phrofrb, by running him over in her car. her defense team says she was framed. >> reporter: good morning, george. testimony resumes in just a matter of hours. the murder mystery just outside of boston sparking explosive accusations against law enforcement. prosecution says the evidence points to just one person. karen read, who they say killed her police officer boyfriend in cold blood. this morning a contentious murder case captivating and

leave a tip based on the restaurant's suggested tipping guidelines. you know the standard numbers the restaurant offers you at checkout. well, something wasn't adding up. take a look. >> $27. it's not $6. 18% of $27 is not $7. 20% is not $8. >> rebecca: you don't have to be a math genius to see that. prompting thousands of comments like, restaurants need to pay their employee, not us. another writing tipping is out of control. the payment device said it calculates after taxes and before discounts. he wasn't charged for a cost it was included in the typical que layings. the restaurant telling us this is not a scam. we have a disclaimer that alerts guests that the tip is calculated before discounts. we also allow for a customer tip for guest screen against. according to mark, that wasn't really made clear to him. do we really read the fine print

on these things? this has prompted a whole debate about tipping cultures. so, guys, tip? what do you think? what do you guy doss? >> whit: i don't like the math, that's for sure. >> janai: 100% i'm with you. whatever that thing said, 20%, 25% was.

here in what was declared an unlawful gathering. that's what happened last night. ucla police made that determination, calling in outside help from the l.a.p.d., chp who responded in riot gear. there were some very intense moments with flash bangs being shot over the top of these groups. law enforcement pushed them up against the library, then taking them away one by one in zip ties. >> free free palestine. >> reporter: overnight from coast to coast, tensions boiling over on college campuses as protests over israel's war in gaza grow more confrontational. this morning at least 50 arrested during a police operation clearing the protest encampment at ucla, this massive police presence moving in early this morning dismantling the encampment here. the l.a.p.d. declaring a city-wide tactical alert as officers in riot gear responded

to crowds. it comes just one night after that pro palestinian encampment came under attack by pro israel activists. >> we plan to keep this until the university agrees to our demands. >> reporter: eventually linking arm, refusing to budge, eventually taken in zip ties one by one. it comes just one night after that pro palestinian encampment came under at tack by pro israel activists. university of new hampshire in durham, pro palestinian protesters clashing with police in riot gear. at dartmouth, police arresting 90 protesters after an order to leave an encampment. violent clashes breaking out at the university of wisconsin in madison. four officers injured, dozens of pro palestinian protesters arrested. protesters taking to the streets of new york city. the nypd arresting nearly 300 demonstrators across the city.

police clearing out an indoor encampment at fordham university. >> if you refuse to leave you may be placed under arrest. >> reporter: officers ordering protesters to disperse immediately arresting at least 15 people. the protesters had said they had no weapons and they did not intends to fight back. this was largely peaceful as they stood arm in arm but didn't necessarily fight back. there are still some demonstrations just outside this encampment barricaded by police. those people who are supporting the demonstrators who have been taken away. george? >> george: thank you very much. janai? we do turn to two headlines about menopause, including new research that finds women approaching menopause may be at higher risk for depression. rhiannon ally is here with details. >> good morning, janai. the study in the journal of affective disorders found women in mid life who were approaching the average age when peri menopause start,

around 40 were at 40% greater risk of depression compared to premenopausal women. it also found depression symptoms were twice as common in women versus men. now, the good news is researchers found no associated risk of depression in women after menopause. experts say if you are feeling signs of depression, sadness, anxiety or fatigue, you should see your health care provider. they suggest lifestyle changes like exercise, consuming less caffeine and sugar, getting better sleep and quitting smoking. all of those have been found to help with depression, janai. >> janai: it's important, those little things that can make a big difference. there's another menopause related study. this one about hormone replacement therapy. tell us about that. >> i'm glad you asked because this one may be some good news. research took another look at findings that were published 20 years ago that sugg jested an increased risk of cancer, stroke and heart attack with hormone therapy. these findings swayed some women

and even doctors from using hormone therapy. this new study found that that reaction may have been overblown. experts now say hormone therapy can be safe to treat hot flash, trouble sleeping and other symptoms that come with menopause for women under 60. we know women have so much to deal with. hopefully, this can help some of them. >> janai: certainly good to be talking about this and getting it out there. >> whit: now to the birthday celebration for the third in line to the british crown. princess charlotte turned 9. her mother, princess kate, marked the occasion with a new photo. foreign correspondent james longman is at bucking ham palace with more. james, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, whit. princess charlotte turns 9 today. an official photograph was released showing charlotte in the gardens at home in windsor smiling. it was taken in the last few days. she's known officially as her royal highness princess charlotte of wales.

she is the only daughter of kate and will. she is third in line to the british throne. there's a huge amount of interest in the young princess, from more formal moments to more informal moments with her brothers. kate said she is quote, the one in charge in the family and she's said to enjoy ballet and tap dancing. this is an abc news special report >> good morning. we're coming on the air because president biden is about to address the nation from the white house about campus protests across the country. the president's been under growing pressure to respond to those demonstrations. >> we've all seen images and they put to the test two fundamental american principles. the first is the right people t

peacefully assemble and make their voices heard. the second is the rule of law. both must be upheld. we are not an authorityian nation where we silence people or squash dissent. the american people are heard. in fact, peaceful protests is the best tradition of how americans respond to consequential issues. but, but, neither are we a lawless country. we are a civil society. order must prevail. throughout our history, we've often faced moments like this because we are a big, diverse, free thinking and freedom loving nation. in moments like this, there are always those who rush to score political points. this isn't a moment for politics. it is a moment for clarity. so let me be clear. peaceful protests in america, violent protest is not protected. peaceful protest is. it's against the law when violence occurs.

destroying property is not a peaceful protest. it's against the law. vandalism, trespassing, breaking windows, shutting down campuses, forcing cancellation of classes and graduations. none of this is a peaceful protest. threatening people, intimidating people, instilling fear in people is not peaceful protest. it's against the law. dissent is essential to democracy, but dissent must never lead to disorder or deny the rights of others so students can finish the semester and their college education. look. this is basically a matter of fairness. it's a matter of what's right. there's the right to protest. but not the right to cause chaos. people have the right to get an education, right to get a degree, a right to walk across campus safely without fear of being attacked. there's should be no place on any campus, no place in america, for anti-semitism or threats of

violence against jewish students. there is no place for hate speech or violence of any kind, whether it's anti-semitism, islamaphobia or discrimination against arab americans or palestinian americans. it's all wrong. it's unamerican. i understand people have strong feelings and deep convictions. in america, we respect the right and protect the right for them to express that. but it doesn't mean anything goes. it needs to be done without violence, without destruction, without hate and within the law. make no mistake, as president i will always defend free speech and i will always be just as strong standing up for the rule of law. that's my responsibility to you, the american people. my obligation to the constitution. thank you very much.

>> that's president biden responding to a crackdown on protests at ucla campus. the president saying we are not an authoritarian nation that squashes dissent and while peaceful protest is protected, violent protests are not. trevor ault is at ucla. this comes under pressure for the president to speak on this. what's been happening at ucla and what happened overnight to trigger the response? >> reporter: it was truly a chaotic night here at ucla, diane. what we saw was a massive law enforcement response after last night the ucla police declared what was an encampment. this was declared an unlawful gathering. california highway patrol came up here, hundreds of them. all of this debris behind me, this was set up as a barricade

to the encampment. we watched law enforcement peel it apart piece by piece and basically restrict and shrink that encampment until they were one by one. i do want to specify from what we saw, this was a largely peaceful demonstration, at least in terms of the protesters not fighting back against law enforcement presence that was there. but they all didn't necessarily give themselves up. law enforcement basically pushed them up against that library until it was one on one. they pulled them apart, put them into zip ties and took them away. what we heard from california highway patrol so far is that at least 132 people have been arrested for this unlawful gathering. as we have seen in the past with a number of other encampments that have been broken apart by law enforcement, doesn't necessarily squash the movement. certainly, this is a nation wide movement. even here at ucla, there were already protests happening just outside it from people who were supporting the people who were just arrested here. so as you see, one encampment pushed out. more movements continue to spout

up. that's been playing out across america. it likely will continue after today and after president biden's remarks. >> the president was asked if he thought the national guard should be brought in. he said no. i want to bring in mary bruce for a little more on that. mary, this also comes as the president is trying to encourage a cease fire deal between israel and hamas. how does this all pull together with that in the background? >> reporter: certainly the white house is watching very closely to see hamas' next move. the mood here is i would say cautiously optimistic. they have urged hamas to take the deal on the table. this would be for a temporary cease fire along with the release of the remaining hostages. what you saw today was the president trying to walk a fine line. he is, of course, backing the importance and need for free speech, while also coming out trying to condemn violence, hate speech, condemning anti-semitism. you heard the president say point blank, peaceful protest, of course, is allowed, but

violent protests are not protected. the president saying there's not the right to cause chaos. this isn't a situation where anything goes. and then you heard the president also make a political point here because he is also well aware that he's been under pressure to speak out more forcefully. this is the firsted time we saw the president speak out in ten days. president biden saying this is not a time to score political points saying, this is not a moment for politics. as we saw yesterday, top rival, donald trump, has been out there on the campaign trail criticizing the president for not speaking out more about this and also painting a picture of real violence. he said new york is under siege. that certainly is not the case. he has seized on these protests to try and make a political point. the president trying to counter that as well. >> trevor, the president saying

students have a right to free speech. they also have a right to get education, a degree, to walk across campus safely. any more from police on what they plan to do to protect people going forward? >> reporter: at this point it's not clear since this encampment has been cleared out. you can tell the university little bit had their hands tied. at the beginning when this encampment first began a week ago, the university was relatively hands off to what we've seen on other campuses. what i think ignited things was mainly two nights ago. ucla, maybe more than any other school, has had a prominent presence of counter protester, pro israeli demonstrators. we saw a few violent altercations between the groups where some pro israeli groups tried to tear down this barricade. we saw some people throw fireworks into the encampment. there was criticism toward law enforcement for not moving in more swiftly on that evening.

clearly now the university has decided this has gone too far. it was university police that decided this was unlawful. i do think there's going to be concern that there will be another campus to replace this one. >> we will continue to monitor that and other campuses across the country. thank you. our coverage continues on abc news live and abc news.com. we'll have a complete wrapup on world news tonight with david muir. have a great day.

family. >> george: pretty good cast. >> miranda cosgrove is so lovely and sweet. benjamin bratt. literally like donald, it was. it was so lucky. i felt so lucky to be in that environment. >> george: i know you've resisted playing pickle ball. but they got you on the court? >> they did. they got me on the court. they had to have intense lessons. i was under the impression that i was a good player because it was all based on getting it to the shot until i came home and played against chris and realized i wasn't really that good. i would like to. my knees are actually good with it. >> george: you recently shared this throw back oven instagram. it's been 17 years since you were miley cyrus mom on hannah montana. is it true your oldest daughter, fantastic intern at gma, has an

issue with this? >> she was a baby. she was in the audience. i call miley my baby girl. rowan stood up and said, no. miley brought her down on stage. it was very very sweet. made a huge impression on my daughter. >> george: you're about to join ali and i as an empty nester. >> i'm usually crying in your kitchen about this. [ laughter ] just get ready, george. get ready. you think you're ready for it and then people say you're going to have freedom. i don't know. i'm not prepared. >> george: the good news is they come back. they don't go too far. right? >> it's like a rubber band. definitely. our girls are so close to us. yours are, mine are.

they're so -- they're attached in the right way. >> george: course we worked together on "pretty baby." it came out about a year ago. what's the experience been like since it came out? >> do you know what's been the most gratifying? it's that people are moved by the story for a myriad of different reasons. so it's not just my story. it's about women in america. it's about the sexualization. you know, we talked about this. it's about their experience. i'm just the conduit to it. it was, it's been very fulfilling to me because it's moved people. >> george: thank you for coming in today. >> thank you. >> george: it is out may 9th on netflix. let's go to janai. >> janai: fun conversation, george. time for deals and steals. tory johnson is here with seven fabulous mother's day gifts starting as low as $7. bombas.
