Everybody wanted for over 50 years and we got it done. Thats donald trump once again taking credit for the end of roe v. Wade. The former president made several false claims about the issue during both of his Campaign Rallies yesterday. Well have more on that in just a moment. Also ahead well go through the chaos overnight on the campus of ucla after a group of counterprotesters attacked a propalestinian encampment. And meanwhile Secretary Of StateAntony Blinken is pressing hamas to accept a Gaza Ceasefire deal. Well bring you the latest on those negotiations. Good morning and welcome to Way Too Early on this thursday, may 2nd. Im jonathan lemire. Thanks for starting your day with us. And well begin this morning with the unrest on the campus of ucla there in Southern California. Police officers are on campus at this moment and have ordered the crowd of over 1,000 people to disperse. But a large group still remains protesting the war in gaza. As of now there have not been any arrests. The university called Police Tuesday night after the demonstrations turned violent. According to the ucla chancellor a band of enstigators attacked propalestinian protesters. The Los Angeles Mayor called the violence detestable. Mayor bass says people launched fireworks and sprayed Chemical Irritants at protesters, and at least 15 people were injured. Now, violence also erupted at the University Of Wisconsin yesterday. Protesters clashed would police who were trying to destroy their tents. And up at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire police dismantled an encampment and arrested around 90 protesters. Meanwhile in New York City more than 280 people were taken into custody on tuesday for protests at Columbia University and the city college of new york. Columbia says that all of its academic activities including finals will be remote. And the unrest continues from ghost to coast. Meanwhile the white house has been silence about the protesters. The last time the president addressed the unrest was last week when he condemned antisemitic rhetoric as well as, quote, those who dont understand whats going on with the palestinians. When asked about it again yesterday, the White House Press secretary simply said biden is monitoring the situation and added that some demonstrations have gone too far. The Washington Post notes bidens silence is telling. The issue is difficult for him politically, they write. Passions run high, and the Democratic Base is split above evenly in the sympathies between israel and the palestinians. In a close race he cant afford to lose voters or even have disillusioned ones sit the election out. The president , however, is expected to address the rise of antisemitism when he speaks at the u. S. Holocaust museums annual days of remembrance. That commemoration is set for next week tuesday. Its a long time between here and now. President biden did Hammer Donald Trump yesterday for comments the promative 2024 gop nominee made during a new interview with Time Magazine. At a private fundraiser at the May Flower Hotel in washington, d. C. , biden called the interview a mandatory read according to reporters who were in the room. Biden then read several of trumps quotes aloud focusing heavily on where the former president said states should be able to decides for themselves whether or not to monitor womens pregnancies to determine whether or not theyve violated abortion bans. Quote, this election is about freedom, america and democracy. Thats why i badly need you, biden told the room of donors yesterday. He added trumps values and visions are ones of anger, hate, revenge, and retribution. Meanwhile trump returns to the Campaign Trail Yesterday for the First Time Since his criminal trial began last month in New York City. In wisconsin and then later in michigan, the presumptive 2024 republican nominee painted a dire picture about a second biden term. It claimed everyone was, quote, thrilled with the overturning of roe v. Wade. If we dont win this election, i dont think our country is going to survive. I will say it, and ive never said that publicly i dont think, but ive felt it for a long time. I actually think our countrys not going to survive. Your towns and villages will now be accepting people from gaza. Joe biden seems determined to hes just determined to create the conditions for an october 7thstyle attack right here in america. Its going to happen. The original aim was to take abortion out of the federal government and move it into the individual states. But after 53 years were able to do that. Some people will be very happy, some people wont be as happy, but time will make this. Its really been incredible. The states decide on abortion, and people are absolutely thrilled with the way thats going on. Most democrats wanted it. Liberals wanted it. I want to thank the Supreme Court justices for having the courage. Clarence thomas, samuel alito, john roberts, brett kavanaugh, neil gorsuch, Amy Coney Barrett for the wisdom and the courage to do this. Joining us now here on set in Washington National politics reporter for the Hill Julia Manchester. Julia, we can certainly fact check that. Lets talk about abortion which is going to be such a fundamental issue this campaign. As President Biden has noted put a lot of attention on what trump said in that Time Magazine interview, even the sort of dystopian idea of tracking a womans pregnancy. So lets talk about the politics of abortion right now starting with how concerned is the Trump Campaign about how this is playing out . I think there certainly is some concern, but at the same time you have the biden campaign, for example, really zeroing in on florida where we saw that near Toment Abortion Ban Go Into Effect just yesterday. And i think the biden campaigns strategy in that trying to maybe keep republicans on their tows in florida and block some spending or prevent spending in other states and try to lower that spending. But for the Trump Campaign there is some concern because we know abortion has been an issue that has worked for democrats in the past in the past going back to 2022 in onyear elections and offyear elections. So donald trump making these remarks may not do much to help himself get those swing independent voters that have been swayed by this issue, but it certainly does galvanize his rally base. Remember he has to walk havary fine line in terms of keeping the prolife lobby of the conservative movement happy while at the same time appealing to those moderate voters. The legislature voted to overturn the civil war era restriction on abortion, but theres some mechanism it could go into effect in the months ahead. This was trumps return to the Campaign Trail despite griping because hes on trial and has to stay in court and cant campaign, frankly hes had days off but he was out yesterday in michigan and wisconsin. Talk about the importance of those two states because there is a growing consensus bidens path is through the two of them. Its very much the blue Wall Democrats talk about so much, the blue wall donald trump was able to flip in 2016, biden flipped it back in 2020. In michigan in particular that is huge for both biden and trump but particular for biden because we know thats where the major uncommitted votes, the Progressive Vote that did not vote for him in the primary and is threatening to not vote for him in the general. Low turnout for biden in michigan could hurt his chances, same thing wisconsin. We saw during the michigan primary there was a large uncommitted vote, people upset about the war in gaza. And now were seeing this unrest on College Campuses. Some democrats ive talked to deeply alarmed. They think this seems the chaos could turn off sort of moderate voters and also that it will further alienate young and Progressive Voters. Campaign officials you speak to, how worried are they . Theyre very worried. In fact, on the republican side yesterday i had a number of Press Releases in my inbox essentially tying democrats, democrats who arent even directly related to these protesters, but democratic incumbents, Democratic Candidates to these protests. Theyre essentially tying them to the propalestinian movement, calling them not pro law and order. So were already seeing republicans really try and make that link. And were looking right now actually at live pictures from ucla. Police there demonstrations have turned violent there in Southern California in recent days. Julia, we really appreciate you being here this morning. National politics reporter for the Hill Julia Manchester covering a lot of ground for us again. Thank you.

That from south dakota governor kristi noem who continues to justify why she killed her dog in a gravel pit. The governor spoke to sean hannity last night in an attempt to address the backlash. You know how fake news works. They leave out the facts of the story, they put the worse spin on it, and thats what happened in this case. I hope people do buy this book and find out the truth of this story. The truth was this was a working dog and it was not a puppy. It was a dog that was extremely dangerous. It had come to us from a family who had found her way too aggressive. We were her second chance, and the day she was put down was a day that she massacred livestock that were part of our neighbors, she attacked me, and it was a hard decision. And the reason is its in the book is this book is filled with tough, challenging decisions ive had to make throughout my life. And i hope that people understand from this that what the point of this story is is that most politicians, they will run from the truth. They will shy away and hide from making tough decisions. I dont do either of those. I tell the truth and i make tough decisions. Political observers and republican insiders agree this has hurt noems chances of being named trumps running mate.
