Will police arriving at the university of Southern California moments ago after antiisrael protesters refuse to leave their encampments overnight. Rachel demonstrators are disrupting dozens of College Commencement ceremonies including this one yesterday at the university of michigan. Pete Madeleine Rivera joins us now with the latest. Hey madeleine. Reporter usc issued warning for protesters to take down their tents now Law Enforcement is on campus. Usc says opposed on x the Los Angeles Police department is clearing the center of upc if you are in the center of campus, please leave people who dont leave could be arrested. About two hours away from here, at the University Of Virginia and charlottesville, clashes between police and propalestinian supporters, the universities president says a peaceful protest began on campus tuesday. But protesters put up tents on friday and started using mega phones violating school policies. When they refused to leave state and local Police Stepped in, even pulling some people by their arms. Virginia state police Say Pepper Spray was used to break up the group 25 people were arrested. And in michigan proPalestinian Protesters interrupted the university of michigans commencement the group marched across center aisle Holding Palestinian flags and signs, heres what an alum had to say. Ive been lifelong michigan Fan Supporter of the university my entire four years really it is my dream school and to have this happen to me in the most important day of my four years is really troubling and i just dont understand why the university and president isnt taking action necessary to remove these antiamerican antiisrael individuals from the commencement and broader university. Reporter and chicago 68 people were arrested on the grounds of the Art Institute they were charged with criminal trespass property. Police say they refuse to comply and move to another location it appears that site is now clear. Some proPalestinian Protesters want to hold demonstrations outside the Democratic National convention this summer. And theyre putting pressure on the city of chicago saying their First Amendment rights are being violated. And their lawsuit the coalition of groups say the city working with the Democratic National committee is exercising its authority to deny these organizations respective applications for Parade Permits with insight or sound or convention that fears that protest could disrupt the event. Will, pete and rachel. Rachel thank you. Pete you talk about those fears there are prominenet lawmakers not only historic but could be a huge problem for use. Listen to a couple of democrats. I am thinking back and other people are making this reference that this may be bidens vietnam. Lyndon johnson with respects was a very good president brought forth pieces of legislation and chose not to run because of opposition to views on vietnam. And i worry very much that President Biden is putting himself in a position where hes alienated not just young people but a lot of democratic base. I never argue with history. I was around during vietnam. I was around during President Lyndon Johnson Great Society programs, they brought on vote rights he brought on the medicare, medicaid all of those things, that made us a great society. He was the internet of and all of that. Went down the drain because of vietnam. Will all of the references to what happened in 1968 they do match up. It is a little uncanny because that pete and i are going to go off the wall on parallels between 2024 ands the protest of 1968. Pete yeah. Details like rfk theres an rfk in both. Timing, polls, yeah it is really rachel parallels but these guys are old bernie sanders, so many of the top members of the Democrat Party they remember that time. And theyre trying to to, you know, remind joe biden that this could be a replay. Will whats joe going to do about it, though, it doesnt feel like something he has an immediate answer to. Where does it stop . Lets ask some of them might have a thought on that. Pete Hey Shannon Great to see you as always. How do they manage the fallout from this if youre the Biden Campaign or white house and you hear things like this . Theyre trying to walk a very fine line you heard the president s remarks few days ago he was under pressure to come out to be more forceful and say something. He completely denounce the antisemitism he talked about the chaos and disruption that those are things that have to be held accountable. So he was clear on that. But he has continued to say you know people need to understand that there is hurt on all sides in that he said he also condemns people who dont understand whats going on with palestinians. So i think theyre trying really hard to figure this out and caution from everywhere. David brooks has a piece in the New York Times he talks this and worries protest are tweal helping trump he says now democrats are viewed as ones with the cultural elite, supereducated republican are now viewed as heart of america, the working class, and he thinks that spells real trouble for the white house. Rachel these are planned. I saw i was telling will and pete i saw a flyer that was sent to me by somebody in chicago he found it and two months ago saying organizing for the Dnc Convention in chicago. So theyre already organized these you asked the question like what are they going to do . These are democrat voters and the people organizing it are big democrat donors like george soros. So i think they know what to do it is just whether if they want to do it or not. They say if you try to separate who is being a part of the trouble theyre not students and not a connection to the campus so you have to ask the question are these professional organizers yes trace it back wheres it coming from and who is involved clearly universities are identifying a lot of these people are not kids not students theyre not enrolled. So it does beg a lot of questions. I mean white house has resisted so far the pressure for the president to call in national guard, i mean, weve hit the an anniversary of kent state and that is painful a bad moment in u. S. History. So theyve really pushed back saying that stuff is up to governors but there are also questions of department of education, has opened tons of investigations over last few months into universities. Not only only the issues of antisemitism but theyre also responding to complaints against what they call antipalestinian discrimination an investigation in columbia about that. But will the Attorney General step up . I dont know. Will shannon lets talk about the trial of drump in new york we saw testimony this week from hope hicks. Give us, though, would you mind so, obviously, the other big story is the fact that donald trump is tied up in a courtroom in new york. Where are we in the Prosecution Case and we havent yet seen Michael Cohen how much longer do you expect the prosecution to go and then well have the defense where do you feel like we are . Were not even at halftime yet. Hope hicks when she was testifying at the courthouse, and she was the first kind of big name person you know how theyve held the witness list very close. To the vest, so when they announced next up for the prosecution hope hicks there was literally a gasp in that room like oh boy she was supernervous when she got started emotional at times throughout the day. But yeah were going start getting i think to the more high Profile Witnesses are we going to hear from mcdougal Stormy Daniels also prosecution has a ways to go with the team that its bringing in but the fact is, as weve observed over the first few weeks of this, whats happened is nobody in that courtroom seems to like Michael Cohen the prosecution has to keep him rehabilitated enough to be kind of their key witness in the whole thing while also acknowledging hes been called a liar by a federal judge and that, hes admitted to doing things that work to his own benefit and clearly what is happened with some of the prosecution witnesses, theyve actually had some things to say that have been beneficial for the defense how Co Chen Cohen was and that it was about him and probably surprise that some of their witnesses have been in some ways good for the defense. Pete shannon real quick both claimed victory over hope hicks testimony and confirmed everything shes and then others saying she defended. What do you think the jury saw there . Well thats the thing i cant see the jury because i would love to see their faces see how the different people are hitting with them and connecting or not connect there was a point after she said on the stand im nervous and that was clear. That she started to address her remarks to the jury and a little bit more comfortable kind of making a connection with them she said things that good for the defense and President Trump worried about his family and stories getting out an prosecution said it was about the campaign and payments about saving his campaign but she had a lot to say that the Family Relationship and that worried him the most and prosecution will say she talked about the dirty deal she talked about worries for the company and this being a Bombshell Access Hollywood came out so both sides are able to claim some of what she said was good for them. Rachel who do you have on the show today . Weve got senator marco rubio on the vp short list allegedly and congressman jim hines ranking democrat on the House Intel Committee and jason the Virginia Attorney general there have been some serious crackdowns in the last 24 hours on campuses there and talk to him about that. Will well be watching fox news sunday. See you guys. My daughter sent me a tiktok video of some have those Palestinian Protesters and it was interesting one that was kind of going viral it was a young woman she said, i wrote my whole essay to get into school about how i was an activist now theyre mad at me which was an interesting thing. You know, going back to what is joe biden going to do . This whole system of training a activist is their system. And now theyre like this isnt working really well for us at this moment right before an election what can we do . I thought that was really telling [laughter] turning now to some headlines start with a fox news alert hamas is taking responsibility for an attack on a kibbutz in southern israel near a crossing that was used for aid trucks just days ago. Israeli media reporting multiple people are hurt after an estimated 30 rockets launched to israel from gaza. No word yet on the exact number of victims. Now iowa isnt backing down. To the Biden Administration over new state law what facilitates arresting importing Illegal Immigrants despite white house threatening to sue the state. If the bill was not suspended by tuesday. Iowa Attorney General breanna byrd joined us earlier to discuss. The federal government is threatening to sue iowa for doing the job the federal government wont do securing the border and you know if that Administration Spent half of much energy actually securing the border as they do suing those of us that are upholding the law, we would be in a much better situation. New law goes into effect in iowa on july 1st. And yesterday with derby day racing not just for Horsing Group of dogs thats a doberman all dobermans. My dog saddling up just down the road from louisville and kentucky there you go the pup in the number three position uma out on top. The race raises money for personal Protection Dogs for families who need them. And those are your headlines. Pete your kind of race. The excitement like will physically perked up right reading headlines. Rachel we have to put a picture of dogs will dobermans. Rachel not on Cinco De Mayo . Pete youre right we have food coming by later on this hour. First lets get to the Real Derby 150thKentucky Derby a race for the History Books coming down to the closest three horse finish weve seen in more than 70 years. Forever young come these three coming down the wire. Whos is going to be with the derby it is a photo or was it sierra for between them catching freedom. Finish fourth a photo finish. Joining us now on heels of that finish, kenny mcpete that was about as close as you could get. What were you feeling in that moment . Bit of a nail biter there. You know, having raced horses here at Churchill Downs my entire career i had a pretty good birdseye view of whether we won the race or not and felt confident that he did win there was a small monitor that was to my right so i was able to watch the slowmo when they hit the wire and was pretty i was for sure that he did win the race so just an amazing feeling. You know we work really hard in this sport. These horses are theyre just amazing, amazing animals, and for those that dongt know a lot about it. Its a just a real honor to be around such special, special thor thoroughbreds. I dont know how it gets closer. That was a nostril you won by maybe a nostril. So is that the closest race of your career . Well we won the preakness with skydiver she held off awe then toik win Preakness One of the few phillies so you either win them on the front or come in from behind to try to nail them at the wire and we fortunately got there in time. But you know, you know, look for every win photo theres a winner and a loser. You know we feel fortunate Brian Hernandez did an amazing job riding this horse and those who watch this race and the job he did he snuck through on the rail and it was a brilliant job for a jockey. What set mystic dan apart it wasnt the favorite in the race was it muddy conditions part of it. He run a previous race in mud that done pretty well how did he maintain that one inch lead at the end . Well i think he was a little under the radar for a couple of reasons he had a brilliant race in the southwest at oakland park in arkansas. A couple of races back, and then we made a decision to skip another race called the rebel because the weather had gotten a little off there during the winter and she had to shift the schedule and when we skipped rebel we werent talked about much which was fine. We wanted to put all of our eggs into the Arkansas Derby see if we could wean this race lance and cheryl banks all from arkansas. Theyre around hot springs and Star City Gould a lot of people are proud there. But when we skip the rebel then we were third in the Arkansas Derby and then i think people kind of put us on the maybe hes not good enough. But we had a reason in the Arkansas Derby a little rough trip and got hung on the outside, and in this case in then yesterday he was a rail trip, and the post position really made a big difference when he drew the three. So you skipped that race to rest him up . We skipped yeah we skipped rebel because we didnt want to run him back in three week hes not a very big horse hes a modest sized horse. Beautiful horse, and what i call an old soul this horse is so intelligent hes quiet. Easy to be around, i could probably put my granddaughter in there who is two and we would never hurt her at all. Hes just a really kind horse to be around, and you know they all have different personalities and his case he was so calm yesterday in the to get through, and then ultimately run, and you need a horse to keep its composure and he did that for
