Good morning and thanks so much for joining us at 10 00 a. M. Eastern. Reporting from new york, im ana cabrera. Beginning overnight on the Virginia Tech campus as colleges and universities are following a weekend of propalestinian protests and counter demonstrations across the country. Our Antonia Hylton is on the campus as well as a new report there . We have a new report from the Columbia University who says that they are not going to divest from the businesses who do business with israel, and they have no plans from the students who are going to walk away from the encampment, and the students are inspired from the encampments from across the United States from of course, here in new york, and tennessee and all of the way to california. The students have taken as a message of strength in the movement, and they are clearly sending a message and not just to their respective administrations, but really across the country now. We are seeing the schools handling this very differently, and in some cases an Immediate Police presence and students facing disciplinary action and court summons, and in some cases like harvard, the Harvard Police department, the chief spoke with Student Reporters and says that their encampment is completely peaceful, and they have a right to free speech and the right to be there and while he is separate from the administrative action that may come to the students, he signaled, he has no plan to disband their movement. So it is going to be looking differently in different corners of the country, but the signs show it is not going to slow down any time soon. Antonia, we know that there are colleges handling it differently, but how are the protesters handling it differently, and there are 46 colleges who have seen some kind of demonstration, and are they similar or disparity in how the people who are protesting handling things . Theres been a range. I mean, at times they are looking similar, and similar structures, and many of the kids have ordered simple tents online and creating libraries and doing the programming and dancing at times in the encampments and so in some ways physically looking similar, but there is a range in terms of the size, and some schools have not formed encampments, but they have protests in afternoons or the students have gone marching. Some schools are calm and locked the gates, so there is a real separation between local community and the people who live in the city and the student, and that is the case here in columbia with the students behind the gate, and those behind the gate are local new yorker, and then other schools where people from all over the place are access to certain lawns and have joined the parts of the movements and difficult for the school to tell the difference between real students and members of the community and maybe outside people who have come and gotten involve and even started fights. So it is looking differently, and it is so helpful to so many people on the ground to these schools to get to the center of the story and talk to the people truly involved. And so aaron, not only is the white house under growing pressure to respond to the protest, they are impacting the president s commencement speech schedule. Walk us through it. Yes, they are watching it closely from the outset, and the position that the president has taken is what we have heard from the National Security adviser, and the Press Secretary and others from the administration as well is that they encourage the idea of demonstrations that are peaceful, and they want the students to feel as though their voices can be heard, and they can make the positions known in A Public Space and that it is good and okay. On the other side, the administration has said they outright condemn any sort of violent demonstrations that pop up. And as antonia noted that many if not all of the demonstrations on College Campuses have been peaceful. There are some that have been otherwise, and the Administration Says no room, no space for antisemitic commentary in the protests or the demonstration, and it is something that it will condemn. At the same time, criticism that the Department Of Education for example has not taken more action through the Civil Rights Office to address some of the complaints that it has received since october 7th from particular from the jewish students who have not been feeling safe on the College Campuses, and a push from the administration to respond to the complaints and to take action on the College Campuses. We know that President Biden is set to speak in may at two college commencements, two, morehouse in atlanta and west point at the u. S. Army college at west point. And the president is speaking at one at the Air Force Academy next month at least that is what has been announced to this point. It is speaking to the reality that the protests that are happening at the colleges are something that the administration is aware of, and the president and Vice President will likely have to face at least some level of demonstration in some of the Commencement Ceremoies coming up, ana. Thank you, antonia and aaron, for your reporting. And the courthouse in Lower Manhattan is dark this morning as the prosecution is gearing up for a third witness to take the stand. Gary farro who is Michael Cohens former banker who was directly involved in the transaction of cohen and Stormy Daniels. So we bring in our legal correspondents. And so you have been inside of the courthouse every day since this began, lisa. And so this third witness to take the stand, gary farro,and why is he important . He is the Michael Cohen banker, and he had been a long time customer with several accounts, but in the fall of 2016 in connection to paying first Karen Mcdougal and then Stormy Daniels, Michael Cohen had to open up new accounts to make those payments, and so in midoctober he went to gary farro who was his then banker saying he needed to open up a llc account, a limited liability account, and he opened up a llc account to make that payment to Keith Danielson who is Stormy Daniels lawyer, and Michael Cohen will take us through that, and it will contain some of the misrepresentations of the consulting entity and explain how quickly this deal came to fruition, and gary farro confirmed to Michael Cohen that the money has been wired. There was testimony from the same day of ronna graf who is Donald Trumps long time assistant. She is the capacity of the records custodian and someone who could say, yes, all of the things that you, the prosecution, want to introduce, emails, and contacts from Donald Trumps outlook account and calendar entries and the like, they are authentic to the Trump Organization where she worked for three decades as trumps most Senior Executive assistant and ultimately the Vice President of the company. What is most important there are sort of twofold. One, she showed that the outlook account that she maintained on Donald Trumps behalf, and we know that trump does not use email had two contacts, one for Karen Mcdougal and one for Stormy Daniels, and she also had emails with white house contact westerhout. And hey, can you have someone send me a fedex label so i can send back the checks that the president signed. I believe that the checks in that email are going to be the checks to repay Michael Cohen which he regularly signed likely from the oval office handed to him by westerhouse and engineered by the white house staff on one hand, and the Trump Organization folks on the other. You are piecing together why one persons testimony builds on the next persons testimony and so forth. So for you, catherine, when you are hearing about ronna grafs testimony, and what we have heard from gary farro, what is the prosecution trying to establish with these witnesses . Corroboration, corroboration, corroboration with Michael Cohen, and because when the prosecution attacks his credibility, because he has lied, in the summation, they will point to Executive Assistant in the white house and the Trump Organization, and also, the banker when he sent the 30,000 to Stormy Daniels attorney, and it is all corroboration for Michael Cohen who is biased and hostile. David pecker was not biased and hostile. If there is a guilty verdict, you can trace it back to david peckers testimony, the opening witness, because the prosecutors were very, very pleased with his testimony. Particularly the crossexamination. They really, the defense didnt destroy him. That probably wasnt their goal, but the prosecutors are happy with him, and the eyes and the ears of the campaign, and he is the eyes and the ears of the jury to the conspiracy to promote the election by unlawful means. And the three witnesses that the jury has now heard from and what has been presented as evidence by the prosecution, catherine, have there been any real surprises so far, do you think . No surprises, and no one fell apart, and that would be a surprise, because the prosecution would be oops, but we are Learning Things that we didnt know that were not in the indictment or the statement of facts, and so it is a surprise for the public, but not a surprise for the defense, because they had it, and they had all of the discovery and the paperwork and the emails. Give us some color from the courtroom, lisa, since you have been inside at time, and in the Overflow Room at times, and what are the observations of donald trump, the defendant, here, and how is the demeanor and has it changed at all in the past week, and what are you seeing with the jurors . Well, talk about trump first, because it changes from moment to moment, and i watched clips of President Biden at the Correspondence Dinner where he said he is a grown man running against a 6yearold. The donald trump in the courtroom is hardly 6yearold, but he is a stereotypical 76yearold where at rest, he seems bored and at times very tired. He is not his usual vigorous energetic self and divorced of the platform and action, but a donald trump who is essentially trapped in the courtroom as a defendant is not the donald trump in motion, but it is one at rest, and one that we are not used to, and he seems lethargic almost, but when he sees people that he knows from his life testifying from his life, he is interested and animate and not particularly hostile, and he was genuinely curious what david pecker would say, and he seemed glad to see ronna graf who worked for him for 30plus years and he tried to get up and greet ronna graf according to some report, and i could not see it from the vantage, because i was blocked by Court Officers, but basically attempted to sort of interfere with her egress when she left the courtroom, because he wanted to shake her hand and say hello, and the Court Officer stopped him from doing so, and so the trump that you see in the courtroom depends upon who is talk and what is going on and he alternates from nap time and curiosity and hostility and all of those things all in one day. Day by day. And what about the jurors . How are they receiving what they are hearing . Attentive and the best description was from our Colleague Tom Winter who observed in the courtroom last week in one of the days is like watching the jurors is like watching the spectators at a wimbledon event because the heads were side to side to side and not only what david pecker was saying is but how the person questioning him was reacting to him. It did not matter if it was Joshua Steinglass or neil bovy, because both sides did a good job, but the problem for trumps case, they dont have that much to work with, and two, on a couple of occasion, mr. Bovy went too far at testimony that pecker was not willing to give him. For example, he asked mr. Pecker, wasnt the portion of the agreement that you had with Karen Mcdougal that had services attached to it because he was a celebrity in her own right. Pecker wouldnt have it, it had value to her, but to us, not really. And if you are the prosecution, catherine, who do you call after gary farro . Well, they have not let us know because donald trump probably intimidating them, but i would call another person to corroborate Michael Cohen and i would not leave him for last. I would not want the jury left with him. The first and the last impression. I would not call him next or last, but i would have another corroboration witness for Michael Cohen in piecing everything together. All right. Thank you, both. I appreciate your analysis and reporting. This morning we are tracking a deadly outbreak of tornados. Dozens of twisters are ripping through the midwest, and we will have a look of the devastation and a new look of the Extreme Weather today. Plus, don and rons detente.

We know of a death in the state of iowa and again, it is speaking to the violence that came with these storms. I will have my photographer pan off of me and you can see some of the devastation here in the downtown where the roofs are gone, bricks gone and you can see that this morning the community is in pieces. Holy reporter this morning, devastation in oklahoma. Be advised that all of Downtown Sulfur is destroyed. Reporter sulfur, oklahoma, population of roughly 5,000 taking a direct hit.
