1:01 pm
where the lead with jake tapper starts right now this is cnn breaking news welcome to the leading. i'm jake tapper and we are following a breaking news coast to coast, large pro-palestinian protest underway right now across us college campuses and universities after weeks of tension over the israel-hamas war or at the university of texas at austin reports today of quote, tense interactions and physical struggles. texas state troopers and riot gear, some on horseback started breaking up a group group of pro-palestinian protests. bruce, we're going to begin today with cnn's nick watt reporting live from a protest at the university of southern california in los angeles. nick, describe what you've been seeing. have there been has there been any violence have there been any arrests yes. >> to both of those right now, jake, we are in a bit of a lull. there are dozens of lapd squad cars parked just off-campus waiting. now,
1:02 pm
earlier this morning, this was pretty peaceful until college security tried to move in to clear this grassy area of tents it very quickly got ugly. there was cursing, there was pushing the were shoving. it was an ugly scene. one older security officer i saw being pushed backwards by a group of younger protesters. he was trying to keep them at arm's length, then an arrest was made that arrested protester was taken to a police car, and that car does then surrounded. so it could not leave the area the crowd were chanting. let him go, let him go. and you know what, eventually they did. we spoke with seasoned lapd detective who when he arrived, he realized that jews wasn't worth the squeeze, that it was not worth keeping that protester in custody today for a relatively minor offense because of the absolute chaos, it was greatly so that protester was released. and now we have a loud but
1:03 pm
peaceful protest marching around this area of ghraieb. now, the lapd here is here because they have been asked by usc to come in i'm clear this area of tents. frankly, protesters have already cleared much of it already, so it is unclear if the lapd will actually have to come on as you are seeing right now, it is a peaceful protests. now if some of the t-shirt, some of the banners suggest a slightly superficial understanding if the history and the reality, but these are some serially held beliefs, and these people here say they are here in solidarity with what has been happening at columbia and elsewhere in the country. they say they will not stop, they will not rest. so all right. let's see how it plays out right now. allow that, hopefully lasts. >> all right. nick wide at the usc campus in la. you house speaker mike johnson is in new york city right now, live in columbia university.et'the heart of this university. >> and that is, thate are in
1:04 pm
by our creator with certn unalienable rights they should not be infried. thfounders and e great leaders who had come through this instution in believed in democry sohey lieved imorali and virtue, and the dignity of evy human person. they lieved in the free exchange of ideas and they detested bob rule. we are standing here right now on the steps of the lowe library in this very building right behind us. columbia university once awarded winston churchill an honorary degree and it was churchill who said, it is manifestly right? that jews should have a national home where they may be reunited we believe in that principle and today, i'm here to proclaim to all those who nash their teeth and demand to wipe the state of israel off the map an attack our innocent jewish students this simple truth, neither israel nor these jewish students on this campus will
1:05 pm
ever stand alone today hamas issued an endorsement statement of the protesters on this campus. they call them the future leaders of america. it is detestable all of this has to be said because the cherished traditions of this university are being overtaken right now by radical and extreme ideologies they place a target on the backs of jewish students in the united states. and here on this campus a growing number of students have chanted in support of terrorist. they have chased down jewish students they have mocked them in the revivim, the have shouted racial epithets. they have screamed at those who bear the star of david enjoy your free speech they've told jewish students who wear the star david to leave the country and shamefully some professors and faculty of join the mobs things have gotten so out of control that the schools canceled in-person classes and now they've come up with the
1:06 pm
hybrid model where they will discriminate against jewish students. they, they're not allowed to come to class anymore for fear of their lives in detestable as colombia has allowed these lawless agitators and radicals to take over, the virus of anti-semitism has spread across other campuses by some counts, as many as 200 universities have a similar form of protest right now at yale, a jewish student was stabbed in the eye with a palestinian flag and 45 students were rested at nyu pro hamas protesters were shouting from the river to the sea anti-israel& campus are popping up and universities all across this count the madness has to stop the madness has to stop we just left a meeting with students jewish students who told us that the heinous acts of bigotry that they have experienced simply because of their faith, their bravery is inspiring. much more inspiring, and some of the activities we're seeing here they should
1:07 pm
never have to confront such hate on an american college campus instead of such a revered institution antisemitism has been growing in america, and it's clear why powerful people have refused to condemn it. and some have even peddled it themselves from university professors to public officials people in positions of authority have denied the horrific facts of september 11, 2001. the attacks on the united states that happened right here in new york city and they've attempted to excuse or to ignore the barbaric attack of hamas in israel on october 7, 2023, where israeli women and children were savagely raped and murdered an infants, were cooked and ovens crowds of radical activists and chanted death to america & on our own streets in this country. and sub public officials have refused to condemn them. others have openly defended these acts
1:08 pm
on campus and the harassing and the intimidation and the threatening of innocent jewish students simply because of who they are they call that peaceful protests. and some of even gone as far as calling for the state of israel will be eliminated these are words we expect from ayatollah's in iran not american lawmakers and not american students. an unsurprisingly, it has given way to threats and violence. in generation of students who feel safe in their own classrooms who don't feel safe in their own classrooms or where they live, or where they worshiped. let me say this very simply no american of any color or creed should ever have to live under those kinds of threats. that is not who we are in this country sadly columbia's administrators have chosen to let the fear and the tim edition of the mob rule to overtake american principles like free speech and the free, free exchange of ideas, and the free exercise of religion they have co-opted first amendment arguments to protect genocide
1:09 pm
and to elevate the voices of anti-semitism. they have proven themselves to be incapable of achieving their basic responsibility, which is keeping students safe we just can't allow this kind of hatred anatomy antisemitism to flourish on our campuses. and it must be stopped in its tracks those who are perpetrating this violence should be arrested and i'm here today. i am here today joining my colleagues and calling on president should to resign. if she can not immediately bring order to this chaos as speaker of the house, i'm committing today that the congress will not be silent as jewish students are expected to run for their lives and stay home from their classes, hiding and fear in the house of representatives, we've already acted to address antisemitism on campuses. we have passed a number of statutes to address this matter, and we call upon the us senate to act upon our legislation. i have a couple of
1:10 pm
my colleagues here that i'd like to share a few words. i'll turn it over first to the chair of the house education and workforce commission virginia foxx, congresswoman, virginia foxx, north carolina okay. you've been listening to a house speaker mike johnson the republican speaker of the house from louisiana, speaking at the lowe library at columbia university. >> he was about to introduce other republican members of congress that came with him up to colombia where there's been a tremendous amount of strife. there have been peaceful protests, there have been anti-semitic protests. there have been individually visuals threatening the israeli operation in gaza and all the innocent people killed there. there have been a number of jewish students who have felt intimidated and threatened by protesters on the campus. i want to go to cnn shimon prokupecz at columbia university right now. shimon, i'm not sure if you are able to hear the students that were heckling speaker johnson or
1:11 pm
not. if you could tell us what they were saying. how are students and faculty reacting to all of everything that's going on today? >> so i have to tell you, jake, i just is my third day here. the campus is buzzing. i have not seen this many people on campus since i've been here. i was here first came here on sunday, but these are the steps where the speaker was speaking a times you were when you were hearing some of the heck it's actually because they couldn't hear what he was saying. the onetime that you did hear them is when he called for the resignation? of the president of the college depends who asd here on campusbout h theyeel about thspeaker being here. certainly th people w've been protesting in the encampment they're they're not so happy about his presence. so i wanted to take just quicklyhow you since we'reere onhe campus here, where the encampment is, it's not very far off from where the
1:12 pm
speaker is speaking. it's just across here that is the encampment that is where the tense are. that is where the students who have been protesting have been sleeping thank and has been part of so much of the controversy here at the college because they want the tense gone. the college does. they said that they're violating regulations all right shimon prokupecz. >> thank you so much. appreciate it as we were coming to air, i sat down with the governor of pennsylvania, josh shapiro to talk to him about the results of the primary last night in pennsylvania, and also about this news about the anti-israel protests escalating at universities throughout the country governor spirit, thanks so much for doing this. could be with the president of columbia university is getting a lot of criticism your fellow democrat from pennsylvania, john fetterman, the senator, has called on her to do her job
1:13 pm
or resign what's your take? >> well, i think we need to restore some order on campuses at columbia and across this country. certainly students and others have a right to peacefully we protest in adherence with university policy and the laws of the city and the state. it's there in. i think what's important is that we can allow peaceful protest about a disagreement on policy happening in the middle east to be an excuse for anti-semitism or islamophobia on these campuses, we can't allow it to be an excuse that puts certain students at risk to be able to go to classes safely or to be able to warship safely and universities have a responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of their students, and to make sure that the rules of the university are being followed. what i see from afar at some university she's including columbia is a situation that is completely out of control and it's incumbent upon the university
1:14 pm
leadership to get it under control quickly for the benefit of the students and the people in the region how is it out control? >> i mean there are lines, everybody it's so subjeive. everybody has their own view. somebody holds up a sign. i saw one at university texas earlier today. that's said somethinabout palestine and including the west bank d gaza as ifhat is all palestine does that cross a line? israeli might say y're saying that isra shouldn't exist anymore there are chance from the river to the sea th some people say just an exprsion about freom. and some people say nothat's callinout, let's lling for the elimination of the jewh people and the jewish state where do you draw the line when to be out of control, you take there may be some subjectivity to the speech. i think it's clear when you're engaging in anti-semitic rhetoric, islamophobia rhetoric, there should be no place trap, but even before you get to what's on the sign or what is coming out in the speech. >> the active gathering in the
1:15 pm
way that some of these students have at some of these universities violates university policy and may violate the rules of that particular city or that particular state that can't be allowed in the name of free speech. >> and i think several of these universities the leaders across the country just simply losing control of the situation. they have a responsibility to keep students safe. students shouldn't be blocked from going to campus just because they're jewish are learning in a classroom as opposed to being forced online because they're jewish, it is simply unacceptable and you know what we have to query whether or not we would tolerate this if this were people dressed up in kkk outfits or kkk regalia, making comments about people who are african american in our communities, certainly not condoning that jake by any stretch. >> but i think we have to be careful about setting any kind of double standard here on our campuses. >> we've got to call it up for what it is. and these university leaders have to make
1:16 pm
sure there is order on their campuses. >> so it's the progressives that are making the arguments here. this isn't the kkk, the far right. it's progressives. when i posted a picture on x or twitter of a swastika that somebody had drawn on a sign at the synagogue where i was bar mitzvah and winwood, pennsylvania outside philly there were progressives saying on social media well then the israeli government shouldn't act like nazis that's where this is coming from. this specific, there's certainly tons of antisemitism on the right, don't get me wrong, and i've heard from them as well. but that's where this anti-semitism is coming. the people who are saying hamas, we love you or set tel-aviv on fire, or call praising october 7, which they call the al-aqsa flood. >> these are these are streets full of progressives and look jake, there are people with strongly held views righteous
1:17 pm
views, whether you and i agree with them or not is really irrelevant here who really fundamentally disagree with israeli policy. they don't like the direction that things are going in the middle east, and they should have a runny of his israelis would feel that way. but i'm not even talking about disagreeing with netanyahu. i'm talking about whether or not people support terrorists killing civilians where i think that it breaks down and leaves a conversation about policy is when you engage in an anti-semitism. >> i also think that it's incumbent upon those who are for out protesting, who are out expressing these views to actually know some history, to actually know how we landed ourselves in this situation in the middle east, to have thoughtful, constructive views on how to see a way forward. i'm someone who i see, no nuance when it comes to a conversation about anti-semitism, we should all be against it see a lot of nuance in the middle east. i think we should have a two-state solution. i think benjamin netanyahu has only been a horrible leader for israel over
1:18 pm
many, many years predating october 7, he is someone who's leading israel down a dangerous and destructive path. he opposes the very thing i'm for a two-state solution. i've got real disagreements with the way the israeli government functions when it comes to protecting the rights and freedoms of their people. but there should be no nuance, there should be no daylight between anyone on the left or the right, democrats or republicans, when it comes to standing up and combating anti-semitism in our communities. >> there is a political dimension to this because obviously a lot of people who hold the views we're talking about who are really passionate against, not just what the israeli government and the israeli defense forces are doing in gaza, but just the existence of israel are against biden, turning against biden. yesterday's election and the commonwealth of pennsylvania the commonwealth 5.3% of voters democratic voters opted to write in a candidate instead of voting for joe biden. now 5.3%
1:19 pm
isn't, isn't huge, but, but the number was almost 10% in philadelphia county. and at three voting precincts on the campus of the university of pennsylvania if you add them all together biden only received 63.7% of the vote, 28% of voters in the primary on penn's campus chose to write in a candidate an option encouraged by activists seeking to express opposition to biden's foreign policy and the israel-hamas war. i'm quoting the daily pennsylvania there does this suggest to you that biden has some work to do when it comes to convincing professionals, young people, progressives in pennsylvania, it suggests me if there's work to do, it also suggests to me that people want to use the power of their vote to send a message. and i appreciate that. i think at the end of the day, it will be the important for them to understand that they really have a binary choice between donald trump someone who wants to rip away their freedoms, whether it's the right to choose the right to be who you are, someone who is going to be dangerous and
1:20 pm
destructive when it comes to the global leadership that america needs to provide someone who has a failed economic track record versus joe biden, someone who they have a profound and honest difference with over one particular piece of his conduct to in foreign policy. i think when there's a binary choice at the end of the day they will come back to joe biden importantly, i think it's also something that notable that last night in pennsylvania when the votes were italian, we're still telling a few here. there, but just looking at the broader numbers about 100 registered republicans went to the polls and voted for nikki haley, about 110 to 120,000 voted for someone other than joe biden on the democratic sayyed is you were alluding to before that's a delta of about 40, 45,000 votes to the negative of donald trump. just put that in some perspective in 2016 in pennsylvania, donald
1:21 pm
trump only one the commonwealth by 44,000 votes. he's got a lot of work to do to win over voters, particularly in suburban communities outside harrisburg and erie, pittsburgh. and of course course philadelphia, people who are incredibly angry that he ripped away their fundamental freedoms when he and he's taken credit for this overturned roe v wade. that's going to continue to be an issue that he's not making any inroads on. so i think each kennedy has some work to do. the hill is quite steeper for donald trump to climb. >> all right, go going to see if you. thanks so much for being here. thank you we're gonna keep monitoring these protests on campuses from coast this programming note, speaker mike johnson will be a guest tonight. >> on erin burnett out front. that's right here on cnn coming up at 7:00 eastern only here on cnn up next on the lead within a matter of hours to immensely consequential cases are going to come for the nine justices of the us supreme court. the first pitt's state level abortion bans versus federal law, which one wins out
1:22 pm

1:26 pm
firm only represents mesothelioma victims and their families. >> if you or a loved one has been diagnosed with ms ophelie oma call us now and we're back with our law and justice lead at any moment now, in new york, judge juan, were could issue a ruling on whether donald trump, in his view violated the gag order that he imposed in the new york hush money case. >> the gag order prohibited trump or was supposed to prohibit him from making any public statements about any witnesses or jurors or court staff, or family members, or staff of the judge or prosecutor in the hearing yesterday about the gag order prosecutors outline ten examples of trump allegedly violating the gag order attacking michael cohen and stormy daniels sleazebags, calling michael cohen a serial perjurer. but what's happening in manhattan is not even trump's biggest legal battle of the week. tomorrow, the supreme court, the us supreme court is set to hear arguments in trump's presidential immunity case. and with me now to discuss former federal
1:27 pm
prosecutor jean rossi, as well as former chief assistant district attorney in the manhattan district attorney's office. karen friedman, agnifilo. karen is of council for a firm that represents michael cohen, but she has no contact with golan, does not work on his case. and there are no restrictions on what you can say about the case. we just wanted to make sure you knew that karen if court is not in session today, does it make it doesn't make it more likely that judge merchan is it's going to issue this ruling on trump's possible gag order violations. and if not, then when judge for sean has what's called a calendar day, all his other cases are on the calendar today, so he's dealing with those matters. he certainly could issue a ruling in this case today, or he could wait till tomorrow when court is back in session and the parties are there, you might render his
1:28 pm
decision in front of them or he could issue he could just drop a written decision anytime so gene michael cohen, he got some public heat after after he after he referred to donald trump disparagingly on twitter or x calling him something like von poops and pants, but a little cruder. >> today, he just posted and he says, quote, despite not being the gag, the defendant out of respect for judge merchan and the prosecutors, i will seize posting anything about donald on my x formerly twitter account or on the mayor culpa podcast. that's his podcast until after my trial testimony. see you all in a month. prosecutors have gotta be happy about that because it wasn't helping well, if i had been a prosecutor on this team and it's a great team i would have told michael cohen and his attorney shut up. take your fingers off the keyboard. that post he had a few days ago about president trump mr.
1:29 pm
trump, that was over that cross the line? >> how does how does it affect his testimony? because i guess the defense could say you have a vendetta. you're not thinking you're not a rational actor kind of thing. >> if i were the defense attorney, i would use some of his tweets, some of his podcasts, some of his interviews over the last four years picked strategic, maybe three or four to show he has a deep animus towards president trump. it's not just, i'm telling the truth, i'm telling the truth in my mind because i hate his guts. and that's a very bad look for any witness especially for the prosecution. >> karen, earlier today, donald trump posted on truth, social quote, the gag order imposed on me a political candidate running for the highest office in the land is totally unconstitutional. nothing like this has ever happened before the conflicted judges, friends, and party members can say whatever they want about me, but i am not allowed to respond
1:30 pm
first of all is any of that true? and second, can you explain why a gag order would be used in a case like this well first of, all this gag order is largely almost identical to the gag order imposed in federal court by judge tanya chutkan in the presidential in the case that is going to be in the supreme court tomorrow. >> it's on pause on the presidential immunity issue. the jan. sixth insurrection case. and that was upheld by the dc circuit. they limited it slightly and this mirrors that. so for him to say it's never been done, it's unconstitutional. that's actually false it like i said, it's it's it's actually the law in the land at according to the federal courts and so it absolutely is fine. it's constitutional, it's necessary he's the judge has to keep control of his courtroom. he has to make sure that witnesses aren't intimidated. and in
1:31 pm
particular, the jurors, and that's i think what's really concerning is that he comments on the jurors and it's very difficult to get people, just average people to serve on jury duty if they have to worry about something like that? >> i have a key point. i just read the transcript of the first day right before openings before i came here. and i don't know if a lot of people have talked about it. we had the juror last week who is scared and was asked to get off. there was a juror before openings this week a juror, i won't mention agender. i won't mention a number. >> but this juror, he or she asked to speak to the judge because of this juror lived alone and he or she was afraid for their safety now, the juror remains on the jury, but it is affecting jurors who are still on a jury and that's why this gag orders so important. >> and my guess, colleague, she's absolutely right. there's nothing
1:32 pm
unconstitutional about a gag order. you have to protect the integrity of the courtroom. >> yeah. people are afraid of a visit from the goon squad as or rozzi and karen friedman, agnifilo, thanks to both you coming up next to the other consequential case before the us supreme court. >> today. the ripple effect, this one could have when it comes to abortion rights across the country, stay with us sis is this dog food in your fridge? >> it's not dog food. it's fresh pit real meat, real vinci seems like a lot of space to waste on a dog you're all family i need i thought we had a plan for dad. >> he was set to go to the senior living community right by my house. >> then a friend suggested i talked to a place for mom. they really opened my eyes. my advisor and listened and understood his needs and showed us options that we're still nearby, but a better fit for dad. now, he's in a warm, engaging community with the pick group of friends. i know

1:36 pm
overturn that 18, 64 ban on abortion that was set to take effect in just a few weeks. the state supreme court ruled earlier this month. you might recall that arizona, now that roe v wade has gone must adhere to the 18 64 law that bars all abortions except in cases when necessary to save a pregnant woman's life. but that means all abortions for rape, all abortions for incest. a law passed decades before women had the right to vote. if the repeal passes, the arizona state senate, then democratic governor katie hobbs is expected to sign it that would leave the states 15 week abortion restriction on in place. one signed by the previous republican governor. also in our healthily the us supreme court hearing arguments today in what could be the most significant abortion case. since dobbs when it overturned roe v. wade two years ago the nine justices on the court appeared deeply divided today over idaho's strict abortion
1:37 pm
ban, which outlaws abortions in nearly every circumstance. as cnn's paula reid reports for his now at issue in this case is whether the state is allowed to criminalized abortions in medical emergencies when the others life is at risk today, the supreme court heard another historic case on abortion as protesters on both sides of the issue gathered out front the high-stakes hearing focused on idaho's abortion ban and how it applies in medical emergencies. >> the state allows exceptions when the life of a mother is at risk, but the biden administration sued the state, arguing that federal law requires the state to allow the procedure if it is needed to stabilize a patient even when the mother's condition is not yet life-threatening, joshua turner argued for the state and faced a barrage of medical hypotheticals from the liberal justices. >> all of these cases are rare, but within these rare cases, there's a significant number where the woman is, her life is not in parallel, but she's going to lose her reproductive organs. she's going to lose the ability to have children in

1:53 pm
work with the company ends joining us now to discuss the ftc chair herself with lina khan, managed chairwoman. thanks so much for joining us. so let's just start with the news. the chamber of commerce is suing you and the ftc. they argue this is an unlawful power grab, one that will undermine american businesses ability to remain competitive. that this ban sets a dangerous precedent for government micromanagement of business and can harm employers. workers, and our economy unquote, what is your response? >> we're so excited to have been able to finalise this rule, which is undoubtedly going to be good for american workers giving them more opportunity to freely pursue a new job opportunity. go start their own business and bring a new idea to market it's also going to be great for the american economy, creating new businesses and promoting innovation. so this is the right thing to do. we have clear legal authority to do so in our rule lays out an extensive detail why that is
1:54 pm
the ftc is also done this before. we've promulgated dozens or and so we're confident that we'll be able to prevail. >> so as of right now, the non-compete, there's a ban on it or it just it has to be litigated first. for instance, i have a noncompete, most on-air media people have on noncompetes. i don't have it anymore. i have to wait so the rule is going to go into effect around september. and after it goes into effect employers will be banned from entering into new noncompetes for existing noncompetes, if you're a senior executive, if basically you work in the boardroom and existing noncompete we'll be able to stay in place because generally, senior executives have negotiated over this, their compensation package. usually reflects that but for everybody else the non-compete, even those that are in place, will no longer be enforceable and employers will have to inform workers that they're not
1:55 pm
going to enforce that noncompete. >> so i was surprised to hear how prevalent these non-compete clauses are. it's not just folks like me are folks in the world's of high finance or tech. it's a lot of people tell us more about that. >> that's right, jake, you're absolutely right. these non-compete started off in the boardroom boat over the last few decades, they've proliferated across sectors and across income levels. so we're talking about janitors, security guards, fast food workers, as well as engineers, doctors after the ftc proposed this rule last year, we got 26,000 comments from americans across the country sharing their stories of how noncompetes had kept them stuck in abusive jobs, forced them to uproot their families are prevented them from launching their own business. and just to give you a few examples, we heard from a bartender who was making less than minimum wage she was subjected to harassment in her job and so she found a
1:56 pm
better opportunity with painting restaurant. but when she left for that better job, who original employ, her sued her for $30,000. we also heard from a doctor in appalachia who explained that in rural america, noncompetes means that if a doctor wants to switch hospitals, they have to leave the area and abandon their patients entirely. we heard from a founder of a biotech startup who shared how noncompetes mean that scientists, the most talented scientists, are not able to work on the most innovative discoveries and that slows down the development of new treatments and your cure. so this is real effects on real people. >> the ftc chair lina khan, you're doing a lot of very interesting provocative, controversial things. we'd love to have you back. please come back would be happy to be back. we're keeping a close eye on protests erupting on several major us college campuses right now, we've seen live images of
