northern gaza from the air. the american official tells cnn negotiators are working towards an agreement involving with what they call the days long pause in the fighting. in exchange, hostages would be freed on a rolling basis starting with women and children over a period of days. that same official, however, added that many details remain unresolved in negotiations could stall or break down at any point. also today comments by secretary of state antony blinken getting attention. secretary of state blinken more directly raised concerns about the death toll on gaza and push for more in the way of humanitarian aid. beyond the daily pauses and fighting to it allow civilians to get out of harms way or get aid that israel announced yesterday. >> far too many palestinians have been killed. far too many have suffered these past weeks. we want to do everything possible to prevent harm to them and to maximize the assistance that gets to them. >> robertson starts us off with some of the video we showed you were taken just across the border from northern gaza. what have you been seeing and hearing in recent hours? >> reporter: yeah, a very heavy destination coming from behind us where that fighting was taken place earlier. we think of the refugee camp. it appeared as if there was an intense fire fight because flairs were dropped and smoke screen on the ground, which is normally what we have seen when the idf forces believe they've got, that they have come in to contact with a number of hamas fighters. we saw what appeared to be missiles coming in from above. perhaps heavy machine gunfired from an apache gunship. but a very, very intense battle. significant because it is just a few miles into north of gaza. troops have been on the ground there for two weeks already. and yet they still find themselves in these very heavy confrontations with hamas. and that is given that they still have many, many, many miles more to go in gaza before it could be cleared. and which gives the understanding that this will be a very, very long military operation indeed if it is going to succeed as the idf lays out, anderson. >> is it clear to you exactly what these pauses that israel has agreed to seemingly under the u.s. pressure, kind of rolling pauses and different times? what that is going to look like? >> they do seem to be, yeah, they do seem to be based on the idea that we have seen these humanitarian corridors, that have allowed tens of thousands of people to move from the north to the south, that it begins another question as well that i just touched on. because when you get all those people in the south and the strikes are still happening in the south and you have now double density population in the south and the military still has to move to the south, then it becomes harder to avoid civilians. what we're seeing perhaps one of those pauses coming into effect around one of the hospitals today. it is really unclear the situation. there are tanks around it. there has been casualties outside because of explosions. but it does seem according to the hospital that a lot of the doctors and the patients have now left. so perhaps there was a pause of some sort in their location as well. these are the only ways where we are seeing it come into effect, anderson. >> are you seeing anything that comes to responding to reduce civilian casualties? >> reporter: you know, i think these corridors are, but the military in essence is only targeting hamas. the idf says it is not intending to have civilian casualties. the war is a very blunt instrument and absolutely every day we continue to see civilian casualties. the number now has gone over 11,000 according to palestinian health officials, anderson. >> all right, nick robinson, thank you so much. we have been talking to, michael orin, israel's former ambassador to the united states. >> so you hear secretary blinken saying far too many palestinians have been killed in gaza. do you sense a concern or weakening for support for israel e? >> no. i think this was anticipated. i think when you're fighting against the enemy that's hiding behind its own population using them as human shields as they said this and secretary blinken has said this repeatedly, there will be civilian casualties. we'll do our upmost to hold them down. he's saying listen, we, in the white house, we're under a lot of pressure. we're under the pressure of the pictures coming out of gaza, getting pressure from our own parties. could you open up, you know, the humanitarian corridors or humanitarian pauses to allow aid in and perhaps release some of the pressure on us and help us help you is basically what he's saying. i think israel should try to meet as much as possible the request of the administration. >> and why not have as much aid as possible going in through that rafah border to the south to encourage as many palestinians to come down to the south as possible? >> and that is compelling argument. including the families of the hostages, they're saying listen, we have not had a word about any of our hostages. the red cross has not gone in there. we are basically maintaining a beverage over red cross and hamas to let somebody in. >> and they wrote a piece in the times with a lot of attention only if they are ready to engage, directed to the palestinians in the post hamas gaza that would indicate some two-state solution if they could get their political house unified and in order. that doesn't even seem to be something that the government in israel is thinking about, withholding tax revenues from the authorities, which by all rights should go to the authority to pay for security personnel. >> some of the money will be used to pay for the families of terrorists who kill jews and the palestinian authorities pay them salaries. >> and they are withholding the entire tax revenue, you know, again, why weaken the security forces of the authority at this point if there is going to be some sort of post hamas rule of gaza. i assume if israel, i mean the palestinian authority would be the most obvious choice if they would be willing to do? >> i don't think it is the right idea. but here is the reality on the ground. he's the president of the palestinian authority and in the 18th year of his four-year term. he will not stand for re-election. if he does, he will lose to hamas and if somehow you involve the palestinian authority in a peace process, whatever state would be created to turn into gaza within a matter of days. >> who is going to be the mayor of gaza? >> we don't know yet. we don't know yet. i think we have to interfashion alize it. >> saudi arabia, they don't want to have troops in gaza. >> it is too early. i think right now the main thing is to defeat hamas, demilitarize the gaza strip. and rebuild the gaza strip. then figure out some type of international force. >> you know, the u.s. with great authority, you know, had a campaign in the wake of taking out saddam hussein. and a lot of the people who had military training, who were in that party ended up in the insurgency. how is there not a hamas insurgency? i mean they are not going to be killed? >> no, they're not. and first of all i don't think you can kill the idea of hamas. anymore of killing the idea of isis or al qaeda. you can degrade them. isis is less of a threat today because there is not an isis state. listen, a lot of neo-nazis walking around today, but not as powerful as they were when there was a nazi germany. you can degrade the hamas state and the people who still subscribe to the notion of hamas. you have to destroy the jewish state. you have to create a tale of fate in the middle east. they will be weakened. but what you can do is create the situation where kids in gaza, children in gaza are not going to nursery school or learning to kill jews. giving them a different future where you can do that, but you can't do it as long as hamas is there. >> always good to be with you. the wait for word is unbearable. cnn has a one-woman story of devotion and determination. >> i have her also here on my back, my beautiful sister. >> reporter: for more than a month, hamas has held her 23-year-old sister hostage. yordan is sleeping outside israel's military headquarters and vows to stay here as long as it takes to get her sister home. >> it's a statement. we are here until they are here. it's on your hands. the world's hands to bring them back. >> reporter: the families and volunteer supporters of the roughly 240 hostages have mobilized a massive campaign demanding the release. but what price are these families pushing the israeli government to pay? >> it is probably going to take some sort of deal to save the hostages. >> okay, whatever it takes, yeah. >> reporter: to understand her desperation, yarden wants the world to hear this terrifying recording of romi's phone call with their mother from the music festival, hamas fighters ambushed. [ spe aking in a non-english language ] >> if it was your sister, do you think there is a price for your sister? my sister doesn't have a price. she needs to be here. none of them have a price. they are innocent civilians. >> reporter: hundreds gathered at this tel aviv protest demanding the international red cross ensure medical treatment for the hostages. some held signs pushing for a trade of humanitarian aid between gaza civilians and the hostages. but of the nearly dozen families we spoke with, all supported exchanging palestinian prisoners for the hostages. mina's 84-year-old mother is a hostage. neta is fearful her mother won't survive israel's attacks on gaza. >> the israeli government, their first priority is to destroy hamas, and we need the first priority will be there to bring them back. >> reporter: levi is waiting for news of her brother's entire family including two young boys. >> we are willing to do whatever it takes for them. >> even if it is something difficult like a prisoner exchange? >> yeah, it's a difficult situation. so there is no easy way. >> reporter: the israeli government says there will be no ceasefire without the release of hostages. >> so there is a kind of contradiction here that you want to negotiation with them to free hostages, but your goal is to actually kill them? >> reporter: in 2011, baskin negotiated a prisoner exchange with hamas for israeli soldier. more than 1,000 palestinian prisoners were released in the deal including yaya, who the idf said became one of the masterminds of the october 7 attack. >> so these are excruciating decisions? >> there is no easy way. >> reporter: the prison service tell its cnn it is holding more than 6,000 palestinian prisoners. >> i know what decision to make. it is not a good decision, but i would make the offer decision. i think it is more important to bring those hostages home than it is to free the palestinian, to keep the palestinian prisoners. >> reporter: and she would trade places with her sister to save her life, but all she can do is remain camped outside, demanding a deal to bring her sister home. >> and you're going to stay how long? >> until they come back. >> as long as it takes? >> yeah. >> i hope they will take two days, at least. at most. >> if it takes months? >> so i will be here. >> and joining us from tel aviv. what more do we know about these hostages and negotiations? >> well, if there is any movement, it is really hard to see and really a question of, you know, what will happen next and the questions about what exactly the israeli military is doing on the ground there. you know, this idea that the military could carry out both of these objectives of destroying hamas on the ground and save all the hostages lives, and as to whether or not that could be done as there is some families releasing a statement today saying victory should not be measured by assassinating the hamas fighters that were responsible for the october 7 attack. they say the victory should be measured by getting the hostages home alive. so there is really growing tension there about whether or not this is a viable option in the days, weeks, if not months ahead. >> yeah, thank you very much. next, new york city mayor is the fbi search and what they say about the federal investigation looking to campaign finance the potential straw donors in the alleged role of turkish nationals. and later the former president on whether he will face trial in the documents case before or afteter the elecectio. today's remarkable news that fbi agents executed a search warrant on the mayor of the biggest city. they took eric adam's cell phone and ipad on monday night. mayor adams has not been accused of any wrong doing so far. this came just days after an fbi search of his chief campaign fundraiser's home. all of this connected to an apparently growing federal investigation. cnn is where the devices were seized joins us now with more. what do we know about how and where they executed this search warrant? >> reporter: well anderson, it is pretty extraordinary what happened here. it was on monday just a couple days ago when the mayor was leaving the nyu here behind me. he was at an event, speaking. and what we're told is as he was leaving and started walking out on the sidewalk, fbi agents approached him with search warrants seeking his devices. it was so serious that, you know, the mayor here has a security detail. they told the security detail to step aside. then with the mayor, they went inside his suv and took his phone and ipad we're told. a couple days later after they copied whatever it was they were looking for on the phones, they returned the devices. this is only in connection to an fbi investigation going on for quite some time looking at campaign finances. you know, just last week as you said, his finance person on the campaign, the fbi raided her home. they also seized documents and phones and other electronics. now they have taken this extraordinary step to approach the mayor and seize his devices as well. and it is very unclear to us actually what they are looking for. really for the first time, we're seeing the mayor here interact with the fbi. and connected to the turkish nationals. >> and what is the mayor's response? >> reporter: so he is saying he is cooperating. he's basically saying he did nothing wrong. he e has nothing to hide, and he is fully cooperative. a lawyer for the campaign also issuing a statement. says the mayor has been and remaining committed to cooperating in this matter. then confirming what happened here on monday and says they are going to continue to cooperate with the investigation. but i think it is important here to highlight that despite what they're saying about their cooperation. the fbi didn't wait for their cooperation to seek these phones. they made an extraordinary move for some reason there was obviously some concern and so they approached him with these search warrants and they seized his phones. >> yeah, stay with us. i want to bring in senior legal analyst. ellie, what would the fbi need to do to get a judge to sign off on a search warrant like this? >> reporter: so it is not easy for prosecutors and the fbi to get a search warrant. you have to establish probable cause that a crime was committed and the likelihood that you will find evidence of that federal crime and whatever it is you seize. you have to write it out in detail in an affidavit as a prosecutor, you have to let the judge know exactly what the evidence is establishing probable cause and the judge has to review it and agree there is, in fact, probable cause. i should add in a case of this magnitude with the subject such as eric adams, the mayor of the largest city in the united states. this would have to go down to the bosses at main justice at the department of justice headquarters for approval as well. so a lot of people saw this and signed off. important to note though, probable cause is a lower standard of proof thans proequators, of course, would need to convict, which is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. >> to the point, what does it tell you that the fbi, you know, stopped him on the street, got him in his suv to get these things rather than asking him voluntarily to turn over his devices at some point? >> it's a great point here. if they believe eric adams would be fully cooperative and hand over all the evidence they needed, they wouldn't do it that way. they would serve a subpoena, they would go through his lawyers. the fact not only did they serve a search warrant, but they did it in this sort of sudden dramatic unexpected way tells me the fbi believes there was some urgency here. >> does he have to give them the password to his phone when he hands over a phone? >> so it's a good question. ordinarily one would do that if he e is being cooperative. they say he has nothing to hide. if they don't do that, the fbi has the technology and they will have permission through the search warrant to do dump the cell phone, meaning to scan all of its content to get access, and then to examine everything, e-mails, texts, whatsapp, encrypted apps, photos, you name it. ultimately the fbi absolutely will be able to get access to the information on his phone. >> and so the fbi searched the chief fundraiser last week. what is her role in all of this? has anyone already been charged with anything? >> no. no one has been charged with nil and they are all cooperating. even that situation last week at this, she is essentially at the home of the finance or the chief of financier about 25 years old. a lot of people here in new york city have said it is kind of an odd choice to put her in that position. and in her case, they had spent some time at her home. they took computers, they took other devices, records, you know, it is very much unclear to us at this point exactly what they were looking for. but you know, perhaps something that they found there caused them some concern, so they had to do this in a way that we have been talking about here tonight. the other thing you have to think about, anderson, the fbi may already have all this information. they have other ways of getting information through subpoenas, search warrants, through the cloud, through e-mail and other phone companies and all that. so clearly something else has happened here where they said we need to do this now. it could be based on the information that they obtained in the search last week or something else that came to life. but this is certainly something that is very significant and they have everyone in the political world here in new york city, talking about this right now. you know, the mayor was suppose to, where there is a political thing at this time where he's not there. he's here where so many of the other politicians are here and they are there, so it is very interesting for people that he stays behind. of course, this happens. and also it is important that we did not find out about this until the new york times report today. this happened on monday. and that is certainly significant as well. >> and how big of a campaign fundraising issue is this? are there dollar amounts? what are we talking about here? >> and so it is unclear what the dollar amount is, but it's significant as there is some indication to the fbi that straw donors were used, turkish nationals, foreign nationals are not allowed to donate to campaigns. so they were funneling according to the information we have obtained. money through straw donors. people who live here or who claim to live here. but meanwhile the money was coming from other places. so it is very significant because it could have all kinds of national security, corruption concerns. we don't have the dollar amount, but certainly something significant for the fbi to be doing all this. for all we know here, there could be other things going on, anderson. just ahead, the former president wants to push back the trial date in the classified documents case. the federal judge said no at least for now. the new york times maggie haberman joins us now on why the decision may be consequential. can kim reynold's decision day republicans who plan to vote for the former president in the iowa caucuses in gary is in iowa talking to voters. the power goes out and we still have wifi to do our homework. and that's a good thing? great in my book! who are you? no power? no problem. introducing storm-ready wifi. now you can stay reliably connected through power outages with unlimited cellular data and up to 4 hours of battery back-up to keep you online. only from xfinity. home of the xfinity 10g network. the federal judge delivered his team a major setback today. aileen cannon will not delay the scheduled start date for may next year. it's something they repeatedly demand. and to the timing of the case as that did not happen today, but she did say she will revisit the decision in march just days before he is set to go on trial into attempts to overturn the 2020 election. judge cannon did agree with the former president's team that they need more time to prepare for the case and they should push back several filing deadlines. and joined now by the making of donald trump and the breaking of america. what do you think the decision to not delay the classified documents means for the former president and his team? >> reporter: anderson, i think it is a play for time. she was literally essentially splitting the decision. she gave herself until next year to revisit it as you note, this is going to happen around the time he's going on trial in dc or scheduled to. so she will look at that calendar and decide whether she has to move hers. there would be movement in the other trial and she would have to. a lot of this is because they appointed aileen cannon. fairly or not, he reads into whatever she does and believes that it will benefit him. but there is reason to believe that she might delay it until after the election. she will look at all the other cases and what is happening, then make a decision. but i don't think it is over for the trump team. >> it was certainly good news that she pushed back, you know, deadlines for them. >> yeah, i mean this is something they were looking for. anything that will get to a sense of delay, which has just been there the whole time is very good for them. it is contrary what you're seeing in dc where the case related to trump's 2020 election. she is clearly trying to press ahead. so we will see how this all ends up. but there is a massive amount of discovery in both cases where there are fewer issues related to classified information in the january 6 related one. but you are going to hear this over and over and it really is a tale of two judges. >> and also i mean what would two federal trials held in the spring, if that, in fact, did happen mean for his campaign? i mean given the appearances at the civil trial, i guess he could use, i mean if he wanted to appear at both trials, he could just ping back back and forth and use those essentially with plenty of coverage to get in front of cameras there, i suppose? >> and tay had can't overlap, anderson. he has to physically be present in each courtroom as a criminal defendant unlike what happened in the new york case. so he is not going to have the pick of jurisdiction. you're going to see these judges in these four cases, look at the calendar and look at what others are doing. judge cannon's case is expected to start during them already and i expect that it will potentially start much after. but you're correct. that because trump will be off the trail, he will be using this in fundraising pitches and he will hold a rally, you know, once a week maybe and he'll talk about all the things he talks about. but it will actually have the affect in a weird way of quieting him because he can't pull the same kinds of stunts in a federal criminal court case that he did in this civil trial. >> and what is the former president's mindset these days? and obviously the legal problems were mounting and he is still polling well. any sense of how confident he is? >> reporter: there is an enormous amount of energy that's invested in trump portray himself as fine and nothing bothering him. and you were seeing that come out in various ways. people who are in contact with him will acknowledge that he is very angry and clearly does not want to be sentenced to prison. they are feeling good about his chances in the election. they would like to get through the primary and on the one hand they suggest this primary is the fate. they acknowledge they have to get through iowa, which is never a great state for trump. and they look at, you know, a variety of public polling about joe biden and they feel good. now he's a year out from re-election and things could look a lot different, but that's the mindset right now and it is really about winning and winning in part, anderson, as a means of dealing with these cases. >> and in the civil fraud trial, i mean he's going to be the first defense witness called monday. i've been struck on how no one in the trump family really claims to actually be running the company and responsible for any of the financial statements. i mean they certainly talked a big game in the past about their important roles of running the company in the absence of their dad, you know, ivanka trump -- pushing shovels into ground breaking ceremonies. the buck doesn't stop with them when it comes to financial statements apparently? >> and yeah, there was a little more pressure on eric trump on that front when he was on the stand. don jr. truly, as i understand it from all my reporting and other peoples reporting, is less involved in running the company than eric trump is. but you're correct, that there is an m.o., which is, you know, distancing and pushing it off on staff, on advisers, lawyers, what have you, you know, we saw that with trump, although trump did acknowledge making some suggestions about these financial statements. but it is a family owned company that is largely run by staff and that has always been the case. >> maggie haberman, thank you so much. more now on kim reynolds endorsing for president. the former president attacked her, saying the endorsement will not make any difference. governor reynolds told nbc news on wednesday the former president had once called and asked for her endorsement. given the former president's substantial lead in the polls in iowa, it is certainly an unusual move bit governor. the question is will it sway any voters? gary tuckman is in iowa for us tonight. >> reporter: iowa governor kim reynolds endorsing ron desantis over gop front runner donald trump is the talk of the hawkeye state. >> are you a fan of the governor? >> yes, i am. >> did you vote for her? >> yes. >> who did you vote for the 2020 election? >> trump. >> nick is the owner of the store called old station craft meats. in the city of waukee, iowa. >> the fact she endorsed desantis, will that make you consider voting for desantis instead of trump? >> i haven't made up my mind yet, but i wouldn't say her endorsement factors into my decision. >> reporter: it's a long standing iowa tradition that the governor doesn't endorse a candidate before the caucuses. but the governor charting her own course is just fine with many we talked to. what do you think of the governor of your state? >> i love kim reynolds. >> reporter: gina campos also voted for reynolds in 2022 and trump in 2020. >> if he's the republican nominee, i will vote for trump. he wouldn't be my first choice as a republican nominee at this point though. >> and so does this decision by the governor to endorse ron desantis influence you might you vote for desantis because the governor has endorsed desantis? >> no, i'm undecided right now. >> reporter: he doesn't have any influence on you? >> no. >> reporter: but you respect her right to do it and not remain neutral? >> absolutely. >> reporter: the city of waukee is in dallas county, which has not gone for a democrat at the presidential level since the 21st century. former president trump won dallas county by les than two percentage points in 2020. governor reynolds won the county by more than 11 points in 2022. she is popular here. so it is easy to find people not bothered by the break of a tradition. rob grow is the chairman of the waukee area chambers of commerce. >> could her decision sway you to vote for desantis? >> not necessarily. >> reporter: so it doesn't necessarily influence you what she says? >> it doesn't. it doesn't. it's another consideration, right? >> reporter: because that's what she wants people to do? >> absolutely, right. that's the purpose of an endorsement, definitely. but i think iowa has a lot of educated voters and a lot of educated folks, and they'll make their own decisions. >> what about you? >> i will make my own decision. >> reporter: jeff mormouth has owned waukee hardware for a century. it's been around since the 1870s. he's met governor reynolds and respects her. he has concerns though on what the endorsement could lead to. >> she made a risky move. just because if desantis doesn't get it and trump gets it, i think trump will have some retribution for her, not being on his side. >> reporter: plenty of positive feelings about the governor here. but there are exceptions. >> and i am a trump supporter. >> reporter: the governor's endorsement was a poor thing to do. >> the fact she endorsed a candidate, you think it's poor because she did not endorse trump? >> that's right. >> reporter: if she did endorse trump, do you think it was poor? >> i would have been happy with it. i'm a trump supporter. >> reporter: it is not the principle of her not staying neutral, but the candidate she is endorsing? >> that's right. i don't like the one she's endorsed. >> reporter: anderson, the latest iowa polling from the des moines register shows ron desantis and nikki hailey are tied for second with 16% each, significantly behind donald trump with 43%. desantis obviously hoping the endorsement helps him close the gap. anderson? >> thank you so much. reporting just ahead, president biden has his own hills to climb a year ahead of election day. specifically with younger latino voters who are dissatisfied with the state of the economy. miguel marquez is reporting for us in georgia tonight talking to voters there and what they h hae to s say next. while legal issues present a hurdle for the former president's attempt for a second term, president biden faces major issues of his own, including dissatisfaction among young voters, mostly prominently latino voters under the age of 35. he won that vote by 33 points in 2020 according to exit polls. the latest cnn poll has him ahead of the former president by just four points for that group. miguel marquez has more from the swing state of georgia. >> reporter: are you happy with your vote for joe biden? >> well -- i didn't see something like really change, but again i didn't see changes. so i was expecting something. >> reporter: gabriella martinez was expecting better. she and her husband work. they have one child, 6-year-old ramon. every month is a struggle. >> right now i'm working three jobs because i have to like pay more things, like my house is more expensive. >> reporter: dalton georgia builds itself the carpet capital of the world. much of the labor here, latino immigrants living paycheck to paycheck. many now view the trump years as better for their bottom line. >> when trump was president, we didn't have high gas, inflation. so it this is the truth. >> reporter: pocketbook concerns? top of the mind and the support of the fast growing voting block critical in key battleground states. joe biden won georgia and its 16 electoral votes in 2020 by just 11,779 votes. that year latinos in the state backed biden by a 25-point margin, while they were just 7% of the georgia electorate. a small shift could affect the outcome in a tight race. a recent new york times sienna college poll across six battleground states including georgia found trump running just eight points behind biden among latinos. >> do you think latino votes in georgia are up for grabs from either party in 2024? >> absolutely. i think they're up for grabs from both parties, i think from any party really. i think there is a lot of frustration and a lot of broken promises. >> reporter: galeo advocates for and with latinos statewide. saying latino concerns mirror the country. their biggest issues? >> inflation and job pay, rent prices, and healthcare. >> reporter: juan jose, 63 years married, raising seven kids now in their 80s, they still show up to work every day at their atlanta snack shop. what's important for most people living in georgia, he says, their work. petino says he's a democrat, but worries about the economy and crime. >> i feel in atlanta -- here in atlanta he says, many people are thinking bad things about murder and crime. diego monsalva has lived in atlanta and cuts here for 17 years. the candidate who will get his vote? the one he believes will improve both the economy and bring down crime. do you have a candidate in mind or are you in the middle? so you're open to democrat or republican? >> yeah. >> miguel spoke to some latino republicans as well. what did they have to say about the 2024 election? >> reporter: yeah, latino republicans and moderates both who like the republican party. they didn't want to go on camera, but they like the business sense of the republican party. they want to be business owners or they are business owners. they say they would have a tough time voting for donald trump as well. so he has issues as well here in georgia. it seems no matter who the candidate is for both parties, no matter who the parties are, you'll have to do some work to win latino votes here in the peach state. anderson? >> miguel marquez, thank you so much. and dana bash investigates this weekend's installment of the whole story. she joins s me next wiwith the prpreview. >> fbi director, christopher wray, warned that anti-semitism is reaching historic levels in the u.s. the anti-somatic backlash, israel's response around the world, were already the most religious group targeted in the country. we take a closer look at the special report, anti-semitism in america. dana joins me now. let's talk about the tensions in the anti-somatic activity that we have been seeing on college campuses that have been rising since october 7th. some of these videos that we have seen are so disturbing. >> so disturbing, anderson. it comes in all forms. we are seeing the run-of-the- mill things like people putting swastikas on others dorms and then out right violence against students. that is what happened to dylan man at tulane university. it started as a peaceful pro- israel rally that were pro- palestinian supporters on the other side of the street and then it turned. take a listen. >> reporter: violence erupted when a pro-palestinian demonstrator in the back of a pickup truck started to light in an israeli flag on fire. >> a student on the jewish side, he ran and try to get back the flag to save it from being burned. there were two kids in the back of the truck. one was holding an israeli flag and one was holding and -- another flag on a pole. once h he got the e flflag back started getting bashed over the head repeatedly with that flagpole. when i saw that, that is when i ran in. i was trying to get him out of the situation. >> reporter: then dylan was beaten and attacked by two older men he said were not college age. >> i was completely blindsided by a man with a megaphone who hit me very viciously over the nose. he broke my nose. i went into complete shock. you know, i went to death -- i felt like i went blind for a second. >> anderson, what we are seeing on college campuses comes after years of a bubbling of anti- semitism. and certainly has for a while been viewed as anti-zionism, which the first time i did an hour like this, justin 2022, people cautioned and pushed back. well, it is not the same. now there is no caution. it is being completed in a very big way. one of the questions is when our university presidents going to start to address this? not just the violence that are coming from the groups, but the cultural problems that are systemic at the university level, faculty, and students alike. >> just globally, we have seen a rise in anti-semitism here >> absolutely put a very alarming way particularly when you look at europe , even a place like germany, after world war ii, they were actually among the best and the least overt about anti-semitism can we are seeing it happened there. what is happening here in the u.s., as well. one of the things that i have learned in looking into this, not just now, but also before, if you look at the history, the notion of anti-semitism, which as we know, has been going on for millennia. it tends to be a canary in the coal mine for when a democracy starts to rise and has real problems. the fact that we are seeing that, not just in these european companies, but more importantly, here in the u.s., is a very, very disturbing. >> tune in to see the report in an all new episode of the whole story that airs susunday, 9:9:00 p.m. pacifific on cnn. . we will bebe right back.
