Southeastern guide dogs im Caitlin Polantz at the federal court in washington and this is cnn its monday, april 29, right now on cnn this morning, protests spreading across College Campuses is more schools turned to the police to crack down. Plus im a grown man running against a six yearold President Biden getting under dome, trumps skin a little bit seems with his speech at the white house Correspondents Dinner and a State Of Emergency in oklahoma, four People Killed by tornadoes with millions more. Now facing potentially deadly storms right . 6 00 a. M. Here in washington, hes alive. Look at the white house now the sun comes up in time for the top of 6 00 a. M. Good morning, everyone. Im kasie hunt. Its wonderful. To have you with us. We begin with colleges across the country struggling to contain increasingly violent Campus Protests at ucla on sunday, pro and propalestinian protesters breached a barrier that was set up between them and they clapped hashed with several fights breaking out. There were no arrests were similar scenes of chaos on sunday from coast to coast, protesters clashing with police as more schools turn to Law Enforcement to try to regain control of their campuses. And this, of course, is an ongoing issue for President Biden, a new cnn poll indicating just how unhappy people are with his handling of the israelhamas war. Seven out of ten americans disapprove. And when you dig into that polling by age, it gets more problematic for the president. Eight out of ten americans age 18 to 34 disapprove and losing Younger Voters in november would be difficult to overcome for the president. And of course, the white house is paying attention now the president knows that there are very strong feelings georgia about the war in gaza. He understands that he respects that has, he has said many times we certainly respect the right of peaceful protest on sunday, President Biden spoke with israeli Prime Minister benjamin netanyahu. Their conversation was focused on negotiations for a hostage deal. And the potential invasion of rafah. Our panels here, former federal prosecutor, cnn legal analyst elliot williams, mac mormon pharmacy, new advisor tim scotts president ial campaign and former White House Communications director kate bedingfield. Good morning to you all. Its great. You, kate, im going to have to start with you here. I will say that when i talked to folks at the white house, what theyll say back when when confronted with all of this is that this issue while clearly very emotional, is not usually listed for most people at the top of the list in terms of what they are concerned about when you see these scenes spreading across lets the country, how do you see the challenge for the white house and what should they be doing new approach this, yeah, im look, it is excuse me. It is an issue for them because this election is going to be very close. We know that any issue that is destabilising to the Democratic Base is inherently problematic for the Biden Campaign. I will say though they certainly talk about this isnt an issue thats at the top of the minds of most americans. And i think there is some truth to that in the sense that these images obviously are can be very startling and theres clearly passionate both sides, but theyre also happening on College Campuses, largely on elite College Campuses in the country. And so it is a slice of the country where youre were getting. I would say probably outsized Media Attention for whats going on on these College Campuses. It is not impacting the daytoday lives of the average American Voter across the country. Again, that does not mean that its not an issue that doesnt mean that it isnt that the protests arent worthy in the sense that there are legitimate, theres a legitimate when the crisis happening in the middle east. It is hard to see how even a crisis in the middle east becomes the predominant driver in an election in november. So i think what the biden team has to do is President Biden has to continue to express concern and has to continue to push the Israeli Government to get humanitarian aid and hes got to be clean here are the he feels and understands the pain that these people are dealing with. But i do think theres some truth to the idea that this is not going to be the sole driver of the election in november. So the other obviously, the particularly nasty side of these protests as the antisemitism that we are seeing crop up at some of them. This was John Fetterman and actually on news nation, this is something he has been very focused on in spoken, very pretty directly and sharply about watch his latest its very clear that there is a very germ of antisemitism in all of these protests. And then sometimes it flares up. Of course its a Great American value to protest, but i dont believe living in a popup tent for hamas is really helpful. Let me make mormon pump ten for hamas. Thats quite, i mean take thanks, john i think you see this sometimes to where it contributes to a sense of theres a burden on the people being kind of again. So what ill say by essentially is this people are paying 70,000 a year to go these elite institutions, very good institutions. And theyre the ones getting a lot of times these threats. I think what youre seeing is a little bit of a pushback on. Theres a right to protest. Its a right to speak your mind. Certainly, but certainly not to be threatened against and to be paying and some some amount of money to do it as well. And i think that 70,000 point is a big one because of the fact that this is all tied to quote, Unquote Thea Weights in america, right . When you have kids that are protesting, its an easy target on these campuses if you notice the start at the Ivy League Columbia university of harvard, and so on and in many respects, its a its a great political issue because of the fact that University President s dont have a ton of options here for what they can do they can technically start kicking kids out, but that starts getting dangerous when you start waiting into how to police speech. And so on. And so it is a winter and is going to continue to be yeah, im going to steal this out from under it. Okay. No, youre fine because it makes your point here. So new york post, which of course first is often trying to take the antialign. Yeah, tact says harvard has fallen, right . They have a palestinian flag flying where they say a us flag. Normally has. I mean, its sort of it encapsulates theyre like exactly what youre saying and no disrespect to any other universities if it were lafayette university, it would not make cover. It exactly and this is the kind of the point i was making earlier. I mean, this is youre looking at the most elite institutions which are have a storied history of protests that has driven social change. And but ultimately for the average person around the country, or they concerned, are they thinking about whats happening on the campus at columbia or harvard . Theyre not. And so i just think there is a precisely because were talking about these elite institutions that command Media Attention from a lot of people in the media who attended those instances we should say. And lets remember that there is a higher percentage of people in basis who have attended these university exactly, exactly. Its a its a its not a diluted pool. Theres theres an intense personal interests there, too. All right. Coming up next here can we just acknowledge how refreshing it is to see a president of the United States and an event that doesnt begin with a bailiff saying, all rise hi the president ial election front and center at the white house Correspondents Dinner will show you more and more moments from that coming up next.

Com every piece of evidence tells a story how really hammered jesse l. Martin, sundays at nine on cnn charney is 24 elections in full swing and yes, age is an issue im a grown man running against a six yearold age is the only thing we have in common my Vice President actually endorses me President Biden roasting donald trump over the weekend and the white house correspondents, dinner journalists, celebrities, and politicians, all Gathering In Dc For What College Host colin jost referred to as nerd prom. Its a School Nickname for the vant the snl star was the headliner. And he did make some jokes at both donald trump and joe bidens expense i would like to point out its after 10 00 p. M. Sleepy joe is still awake while donald trump has spent the past week falling asleep in court every morning, my Weekend Update coanchored michael che was going to join me here tonight. But in solidarity with President Biden i didnt i decided to lose all my black Support Panel is back with us full disclosure. I was at the dinner there elliott, what what do you make it a joke actually people dont realize its a historically really tough gig. To work that room because when you think about when standup comics come up, its not intimate. Theyre not close to the stage. You have half of the audience really doesnt want to laugh because as journalists will i appear partisan if i bust out laughing at a joke at joe bidens, are Donald Trumps expense with an air of stuffing thats in the room to some extent, too. And i think he did relatively well. That was a good joke. Regardless of the partisan bent of it. The simple fact is racism underlying factor in the president ial campaign. And he skewered it journalists, celebrities, politicians, three people that can three groups america loves. Finally, in a room black really going to laughing it themselves. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah speaking of lead i would say the president s speech was actually a little bit more political than we often hear from president s in that he sort of took the end of the speech to make a rather serious point about the contrast between the president and his reelection and donald trump in terms of democracy. Yeah, and what does it stake in this election . There were some critics who say that that was, that was too much for that venue, but when you do consider donald trump never went to the Correspondents Dinner and he calls the free press the enemy of the people, right . If you critics of donald trump will look at autocratic tendencies and say that the preska, a lot to do with that. Yeah. What do you make of the fact that the president took that serious tone . The end of the well, he had an opportunity and i think you had a room full of 2,600 people. The vast majority of journalists who are covering the president ial race from washington and new york. So he had a captive audience. I think he almost almost had a responsibility in some ways to talk about the stakes and to really lay out what he he views. The the fundamental and existential question of this race, which is our, is our democracy going to continue on next year . Are we going to be able to have a white house Correspondents Dinner where a comedian can get up and joke and make jokes at the president s expense and we should be get her off through the Trump Administration if they did, they did, but i think youve heard youve heard donald trump use all sorts of incredibly threatening language and you also, those those correspondence centers all happened prior to january 6. And so i think theres a theres a seriousness there. So i think what President Biden was doing was taking the opportunity with all of those people in the room to say yes, this is their jokes. And lets have a fun night, but there are real stakes here. One thing i was really struck by at the end, i dont know if we have the clip of it, but colin jost ended with a speech about his grandfather, who was my own fire man and just building to the crescendo of saying that my grandfather supported you, mr. President , because youre a decent man and it was it was an interesting point because its look at its sort of a partisan point is in front of all its become one. But thats thats the point, right . And its sort of hes speaking about an individuals character, but in an audience and in the middle of a president ial campaign, it has an air of partisan some ship but its actually just speaking about character and where the point at which simply stating facts about candidates veers into the world of being a political, i have to say i was thinking, actually, your kids are of the age or you might have to do this, just figuring out how to talk to your kids about the trial that trump is on im sorry. I dont want you to read it like i was talking to a friend who said, oh, i was really hoping that my sevenyearold didnt ask me like dad, whats hush money. Like dad was a porn star right . Like thats kind of a character question. I mean, look, lets go back the white house Correspondents Dinner in many ways gave rise of modern era of trump in 2011 with obama said that dinner saturday, okay . The crowd. I didnt realize that but as we know, trump was there. He was guest at the table being mocked to his face by obama and whoever the comedian was, i forgot the time and look, i think some thats a little bit revisionist history. I dont think a Dinner Making Fun of was the thing that actually was a lynchpin of the god of the race. Because if you remember, he didnt run in 12, he ran in obviously 15 and 16, but trump has the worst response. Youre in trouble. Its kind of special weird connection, but that exact reason the same night that they were going through the Osama Bin Laden raid. I mean, i i was in the room for that. I actually spoke to spend some time speaking to donald trump on the way to my table and then we could all see honestly his hair was what you can see and ill be honest with you, man, i take your point. There were other things
