Up to 70 off designer brands, it has the designers that get your heart racing had inside a prices, you every day, curry, therell be gone in a Flash Designer Sales at up to 70 or so of gilt. Com today welcome to inside politics. Im dana bash we start with destruction violence, and hate on College Campuses across the country this was the scene just a short while ago at the university of wisconsin madison. Police clashing with protesters, 12 people were arrested hours earlier, protests its rocked. The university of arizona, for Campus Police used chemical irritant munitions to remove protesters around the same time at ucla pro israel and propalestinian groups were attacking each other, hurling all kinds of objects a would palette fireworks parking cones, even a scooter and before that, the nypd was able to clear Columbia University after protesters barricaded themselves inside a Campus Building 300 people were arrested at columbia and city college of new york. But it is unclear how many were actually students New York City mayor eric adams warned this morning that professional outside agitators are getting involved there was a movement to radicalize young people and im not going to wait until its done. And all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of it. This is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children. And im not going to allow that to happen as the mayor of the city of new york many of these protests started peacefully with legitimate questions about the war. But in many cases, they lost the plot. Theyre calling for a ceasefire. Well, there was a ceasefire on october 6, the day before Hamas Terrorists brutally murdered more than a thousand people inside israel and took hundreds more as hostages. This hour, ill speak to an american israeli family whose son is still held captive by hamas since that horrifying day that brought us to this moment, you dont hear the propalestinian protesters talking about that. We will now protesting the way the Israeli Government, the israeli prime minister, is prosecuting the retaliatory war against hamas is one thing. Making jewish students feel unsafe at their own schools is unacceptable and it is happening way too much right now im a ucla students. I deserve to go here. We paid tuition. This is our school im not letting me walk in my class is over there. I want to use it that entrance well, i can think will you let me go in . This can be over in a second. Just let me and my friends go in again. What you just saw is 2024 in los angeles harkening back to the 1930s in europe. And i do not say that lightly. The fear among jews in this country is palpable right now i want to go to cnns gabe cohen at Columbia University. Gabe, whats happening right now dana its a quiet de here at columbia, but obviously it was a chaotic night. The center of this Police Activity that we saw last night was Hamilton Hall right here where we saw a huge crowd of officers enters through the second story window. Here, eventually arresting more than 200 protesters who are here in the building and outside in that encampment that had lasted here for days and now in the last few minutes, we have gotten this new letter in from columbias president talking about that decision, why it is that they called him the nypd last night to clear out the protesters in this letter, the president writes this drastic escalation of many months of Protest Activity mainly talking about those protests are storming Hamilton Hall, pushed the university to the brink, creating a disruptive environment for everyone and raising safety risks to an intolerable level. She adds over the last few months, we have been patient in tolerating unauthorized demonstrations, including the encampment. But of course that now dana has changed here. Would that action from the nypd last night and now we are seeing a Large Police Presence today. We know that the school has as a pd to stay here at columbia until may 17 after graduation, there is a lot of confusion because its a restricted campus right now. We know behind us that those are students, Faculty Members trying to get onto campus, but only Essential Faculty and students who live here can get on. We have also heard concerns day anna from Student Journalists here, i spoke to one who was here covering the protests last night. They were the only ones allowed on the campus other than the protesters. Mainstream media has generally been forced this outside the campus students though, who were covering it, were on campus, but this member of the Student Press told me that he and the other members of the Student Press were forced to leave by the nypd before they made those arrests. They had to leave to a point where they could not actually see the protests unfolding. Take a listen to the concerns he raised me just a little while ago. Footage that we have from last night is very spares and that footage already raised some troubling questions about the nypds conduct on the campus. If we add more journalist as Student Journalist, we would have known much better what actually unfolded in front of hamilton hello. Meant as were seeing it today. But of course, we have not been on the campus yet today to see it with our own eyes certainly a lot of questions remain after that nypd activity, the vision hes rules that we have seen as that Student Journalist raised concern with those or visuals that are coming either from the nypd or the protestors themselves . So a lot of questions still lingering today. Okay. Thank you so much for that report and we thank all of the journalists, especially the Student Journalist, for help, for helping us tell the story. When to go now to the west coast where violent clashes erupted on the campus of ucla overnight, cnns Stephanie Elam joins me now, live from the campus. Hows it looking this morning . Stephanie things are very calm at this hour. Now, dana, i can tell you this is where we saw a lot of the malay that was happening overnight. Now security just coming back out here at 9 00 a. M. Local, coming back out. But as you can see, this is the area of contention last night where these barricades were set up like this with this walkway in between. But you can see they were broken down and you could see that in the video looked like people from this sayyed, were breaking down the encampment from the propalestinian side last night, throwing objects in there as well as looks like some sort of maybe pepper spray or something coming from the other side over here you saw the security and middle trying to keep it safe, but there is visible images of that. There was violence. It looked like blood on the ground here. You could see it on the grass around where we are standing now and we have a new update because of all of this using tla, just tweeting now due to the violence last night that they are closing, or im sorry canceling class of classes today and asking students to stay away from im this area of the campus after those clashes where you saw fireworks being deployed . We just saw that it was uncomfortable and dangerous. We heard from some of these dude and journalist who actually said that worked for the daily bruyne saying that some of their people were hurt. And so you see some of those signs out here now still and theyre asking for the ucla leadership to be accountable and to do something to make it safe for the students that go here. Dana yeah. And i just earlier this morning saw a statement from the Jewish Federation of los angeles saying that they are appalled at the violence that took place last night. And even including actions by protesters who do not represent the Jewish Community or our value. So jewish organizations, taking responsibility and distancing themselves from those who are not acting appropriately the nice to see that on all sides of this. Thank you so much, stephanie, appreciate that important report. I want to talk now to my panel about the politics of all of this. Cnns jeff zeleny, Jackie Kucinich of the boston globe. And its olin counter youngs of the new york times. Thank you so much. All of you for being here. I want to start with what we have heard. So far from the white house. This is a statement from andrew bates. Hes the deputy Press Secretary, quote President Biden respects the right to free expression, but protests must be peaceful and lawful. Forcibly taking over buildings is not peaceful. Well, it is wrong and hate speech and hate symbols have no place in american now, just keep that up for a second. Andrew bates good guy. Im not this is nothing against andrew bates, but he said deputy Press Secretary, he certainly not the president who we havent heard from. Hes not the communications director. We havent heard from me is not the Press Secretary who we havent heard from this is very telling that this is what we have so far with everything thats going on from the white house and the president of the United States, i mean, last week, i was traveling with President Biden when he was going to new york. And you would think obviously, but just the location and the destination of that. I was going into it thinking out hes kind of make a statement here. Hes got to come over and talk to the press about what were seeing, unraveling and we didnt see that he didnt come over. Now, i dont think thats going to be able to last. This is how weve seen in them message on this. So far statements that clearly condemn antisemitism and dont condone violence, calling for peaceful protests. But again, its written statements and now youre entering also adulation season to present biden is slated to speak, get to graduation ceremonies. You would think that he is going to have to address this as well as reporters youre going to keep asking about this, but there are Navigating Turkey politics here. Usually you would see its usually republicans attacking democrats for being a party of crime or disorder. Youre starting to see though democrats in congress as well as republicans concerned about whats going on, is it tricky though i mean, listen, youve covered joe biden for very long time as have is since he was in the United States senate we know how he feels about this and my understanding is that there is a lot of debate inside the white house about how he should come out. But by not coming out, just on the rob politics of this ive talked to some democrats who say that theyre worried that he, he looks week and that is one of the central concerns for all bidens supporters in the west wing and beyond about his candidacy for the next six months. Is he going to be a strong leader . I was talking to someone whos a Longtime Biden Ally who was trying to explain the context of this and they said this is sort of a confluence of events here where he needs to be a strong leader, but he also normally plays this empathetic role and those two are very much at odds in this matter here, its complicated without question is you just laid out there are no simple solutions, but if you use history as a guide our friend peter baker at the times this morning reminded us of what joe biden was doing in the protests in 68. He was just finishing she law school. And he said, i wear a suit coat. Im not a protester. We know that he does not like these images of a disorder, but that is a central worry. Just some democrats facing his president ial campaign, is he going to be a strong leader here . Are these images of disorder when its sort of overtake this or in any, even if he does run out the clock on these student protests, because graduation, as you pointed out, is soon perhaps there wont be as many students on campus. These protesters these protesters, but there have been protesters at many of joe biden events, many democratic events at the white house Correspondents Dinner this past weekend, there was a huge amount of protesting. The fact it until theyre able to do something perhaps blinken gets a ceasefire or Something Like that. Hes until that happens, hes going hes going to have to deal with it. And jeff. Yeah absolutely. And jeff, i want to read a part of a letter that you obtained that was sent yesterday to both President Biden and president obama, signed by many, many, many hundreds. It looks like of not highranking officials, but officials who worked for obama and biden that speak to perhaps why he is has not said hed president has not said anything yet. President biden, you, not committed not uncommitted voters or thirdparty candidates are risking a trump presidency. And our democracy by Defending The War Crimes and agenda of a foreign farright government. You are ignoring the growing majority of democratic voters who recognize israels war in gaza as genocide and demand that immediate an immediate and permanent ceasefire. Now, i just want to say this that was pointed out to me by a high ranking democrat that, you know whats not in here theres no mention of october 7. Theres no mention of what started this. Theres a sort of a Passing Reference to the hostages, including six americans believed to be held in inside gaza. And that is one of the perhaps that puts in stark relief the challenge here, because the, as you said at the beginning of the broadcast, october 7 was not that long ago . But it is largely fallen out of the immediate conversation that is happening on some of these College Campuses and protests. But what this letter is, its the latest in a series of letters. The last one came in november, i believe. And but whats different about this . Its calling for an end to funding for the Israeli Military operation, which is not likely to happen given what funding was just a passed in congress, but its also calling for an immediate ceasefire. But what this speaks to is just the really the descent and war within the democratic of Progressive Left movement here unlike anything weve seen this this has been a divide with this is just this is exacerbated. It and weve never and then youve course had this happening in the middle of a very intense president ial campaign. And donald trump is not just letting this happen in a vacuum, he is engaging, he did so last night listen to what he said biden is supposed to be the voice of our country and its certainly not much of a voice is the voice that nobodys heard. And if you look, i dont think hes i dont think hes able to do it. I dont think hes got what it takes to do it, but hes got to hes got hes got a strength that up, but hes got to be heard weve seen this playbook before, even in 2020, i remember when there are protests in portland as well outside of our courthouse, we started to see criminal justice protests breaking out. Trump trying to say, look biden is overseeing this disorder and chaos. Biden trying to push back on that by showing sort of his police and crime bona fides and law and order bona fides. I think thats the message youre probably going to see moving forward, but again, the reason why this is challenging here is rhetoric only go so far. And unless you have a legitimate ceasefire, unless you have the president coming out and forcefully talking about this unless the reality on the ground changes, i dont know if the pressure will relent. All right. Everybody coming up with everything that weve been talking about, everything going on. You may have missed a big announcement this morning from congresswoman Marjorie Taylor greene that she does plan to force a so to try to oust House Speaker mike johnson, when will that happen and how will it go down . Will tell you up next a florida man is hospitalized, infected with anthrax sunday. This became the bureaus number one crying to solve. How would really happen with jesse .
