Like this isnt normal. This isnt what college is supposed to be. And we need to finally get the diminishes to remember a small fringe shouldnt ruined the experience for everyone. Even as we do that, ill just say, lets keep in mind, weve got to have fears, hope for these hostages were still being held in gaza, as well as deep compassion for the Palestinian Civilians are suffering jonathan greenblatt. Thank you. The news continues right here on cnn outright. Next, the Breaking News, police, a protest or spacing off tonight doesnt arrest in austin, texas. Columbia university in Chaos Hundreds right now, defying a deadline to vacate the encampment plus trumps Favorite Network backtracking. Now pulling a salacious story about two major witnesses and trump Hush Money Trial. Could the false story impact the case . And shes back. Marjorie Taylor Greene returning to the capital tonight, promising to kick out like johnson as speaker she bluffing. Lets go out front and good evening. Im Erin Burnett Out Front tonight. The Breaking News protesters and police facing off as tensions are running high at universities across the United States tonight colleges and universities are now cracking down and propalestinian protesters who have taken over some of the campuses. Let me just show you some of the dramatic live pictures what youre looking at here. This massive crowd is in texas police in riot gear can be seen moving in earlier, tearing down barriers and force fully arresting students. This was the University Of Texas At Austin at those students have been camped out on campus and at least 40 students we understand at ut austin were reportedly taken into custody. Meantime, in new york, protesters are defying a mandatory deadline to tear down bear and camp min and Columbia University. It gave the students until 2 00 this afternoon to pack it in, and they did not they defied that order. So now we are learning at this hour, unclear what the Security Situation is. And a lot of questions about that at this moment. No, but we are learning that the university is actively suspending students, as i speak. The situation is a tinderbox moments ago is student was flying a massive israeli flag of a propalestinian protesters. The man holding the flag telling cnn hes been harassed and assaulted on campus as i mentioned, these protests have been spreading. It is now coasttocoast, california to boston at the white house, the administration is now watching very closely so far those still refusing to weigh in on whether the students should be disciplined for disrupting schedules, classes and Graduation Plans so gotta be super super mindful. These are institutions, some of them are private, some of them are public. And it is up to their leadership. University leadership colleges to make that decision. Not going to weigh in on that from here meanwhile, the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is now asking President Biden to come to his rescue according to reporting, and axios, right Now And Then Yahoo Asked Biden to stop the International Criminal court from issuing Arrest Warrants for senior israeli officials, including possibly netanyahu himself, who have played a role in the war in gaza. The icc has been investigating possible war crimes by both Israeli Forces and palestinian militants. Now, if the icc were to issue an arrest warrant, for example, for Prime Minister netanyahu well, more than 120 countries have signed on to the icc, which would place Travel Restrictions on netanyahu that would be incredibly significant. We have a team of reporters standing by to begin our breaking coverage. This our omar jimenez is at columbia in new york, ed lavendera is at the University Of Texas At Austin, where we were showing you for those dramatic pictures where you are at, you witnessed it, that situation where you are appears to be growing increasingly tense. Can you tell us whats happening well now were kind of a standoff where did you see behind me. Is basically just to confronting our number of officers and now theyre heckled squarely into the crowd sit tight here. Second drill. Trying to get people to to disperse so that just happened those officers firing pepper spray, it appears or some sort of spray at the protesters gathered just moments ago, aaron, in this area, are there had been a bus that was taking some of the people who had its been arrested earlier this is one of the protesters was hit by the pepper spray were calling for medics, so let me keep an eye, excuse me, or were to keep an eye on exactly whats going on behind me, but this is an area where the bus that was taking away several the protesters let me these protesters were blocking be blocked in his people, assigned to block excuse me, the the, bus leaving the area, but so we saw more than a dozen protesters that were arrested in taken away in that we are told that theyre probably been taken Downtown Process and we have also seen this group of protesters also essentially trying to push a Law Enforcement officer campus chance of good off of our campus have been extensive for some time. However, those buses are now gone exactly how whats going to unfold here is unclear how we are willing to almost six hours of this protests that has been going on quite some time. And here just in the last few seconds, we tried to like peek back in, figure out exactly why theyre while theyre trying to say your question is, erin is what exactly theyre going to do with this crowd at this point. The protesters were essentially champion trying to get officers to go to leave the campus, of the officers have formed a line, essentially, if he walked back this way, whod end up back generally in the area where this protest . I started earlier today. So a standoff here as officers essentially, at this point, i dont know if theyre trying to figure out an Exit Strategy and how to get out of it out of the campus and away from protesters were how to defuse the situation. But are we will continue to monitor here as the minutes and hours progress. So ed, i know we just saw that young man behind you who appeared to have been hit by the pepper spray or whatever sort of Chemical Agent it was that they were they were spraying that Law Enforcement. But when you look behind you, when you talk about a standoff, can you describe . Im for us. I mean, how many people are there and how many Police Officers. And what i mean, i guess, you know, are they in riot gear . Can you describe exactly what this face off looks like . Actually the officers that are just going the other side of that crowd from what i could tell him the last time was able to get it better Vantage Point. It was awful the service on bicycles and those are the officers that have actually been used to kind of create barriers to keep people away from the other officers, either taking people into custody or moving people around the campus. So those officers are not decked out in helmets and protective gear like we ive seen from the State Troopers that were here earlier. In fact, a large bus full of State Troopers that were wearing the right gear, if you will . About an hour ago on a city a city bus that was used to bring them onto the Campus Grounds here. So these are not those officers. In fact, i believe these are Ut Police Police department officers. So these are officers that this is their jurisdiction. This is where they went be patrol and what this is their beetles essentially. Can imagine that those officers are going are going anywhere now. Theyre also Austin Police officers of overhearing the distance its been while since ive seen any State Troopers, but they still might be around here as well but its a rather large crowd and they have really havent figured out a way to go get them disbursed if yes. So ed, you have any to any way you could tell us are the scale of how many people are there. And im also curious because there was that sort of people sort of running away are moving quickly when you you first came up, right . And they were sprayed with some sort of pepper spray as you described or something similar to appeared any sense as to what caused that and but obviously because it now seems to meet everyones back to chanting and back to their positions right . So there was a car a police car that made its way out this way . So my guess at this point is that the officers were pushing people back to be able to allow one of the Police Vehicles to exit a few this wrote over here, they were trying to push the front clearly we saw that that spray that was fireball that was very kind of close Perimeter Spray that was used. It was it like a volley of tear gas are in the people who were hit in the immediate vicinity of those officers. So theres just a matter of inches that are separating those protesters who had been chanting for hours. Now at the, at these officers were, probably about 10 15 yards behind that all right. And were going to keep checking in with you. Is that situation she develops obviously you know, a minute by minute there at the University Of Texas At Austin, but you can just get a sense of the crowds there where ed is and how difficult it was even for those Police Officers . To move that they were spraying pepper spray to be able to move that car. Is that describes it will get back to Ed In A Moment as that develops, i want to go now to omar jimenez because hes at columbia in upper new york and Omar Columbia has laid down the law, everyone had to get out, get out of that tent encampment, which is in one corner of the quad is i saw it the other day. But protesters, at least from what we understand, if not moved, what are you seeing right now yes. Were seeing a combination of things just for the viewers watching, overseeing behind this is very small a handful of protesters outside of columbias campus. So these protesters are separate from the Encampment Led Protests that weve been seeing on campus and yes, as you mentioned, there was a 2 00 p. M. Deadline today for those for those students to voluntarily leave that camp meant or face suspension, many did not leave. In fact, many of them chose to take part in a separate protests in circling that in kept men as one student told me to stop University Officials from coming in Even University professors and faculty linked arms at the entrance to the encampment in support of some of those students all that said the campus is now levying suspensions as they told us they are starting to hand those out. They also said theres a further disciplinary process for others that theyre reviewing, but those suspensions are coming. We are in there just just about an hour or so ago, a little bit more than that ago as suspensions were first being handed out and there were still protesters inside of there. So paines to be seen from a university perspective, what happens if, even if suspensions are coming through, if they choose to still not leave, because as a University Said this morning they do not believe calling an nypd again is productive. But the question is, for how long will that last . All right . Well, well check in with you as well. Hello, mars, the situation develops there. I mean, theres universities to make a decision what theyre gonna do. Let them stay or call and police. I mean, youre again a standoff all right. Thank you very much. And i want to go now to cynthia, shoveling gum. Shes a Princeton University Graduate Student who was arrested at a propalestinian encampment on campus at princeton. And as we just been talking about those, columbia students now being suspended, centi is now barred from princeton pending a disciplinary review. Thank you for coming in. So i want to just just start here. Now youre seeing what was happening tonight. The pepper spray at ut austin youre telling me i understand its been more rest at princeton in the past few moments. Weve got video of your arrest, your hands, or ziptied it from what it appears were gonna show everybody. This is u at the encampment and princeton, when you arrested the University Says you were getting repeated warnings to exit the area. You chose not to do so. Thats why they arrested you. What happened in that moment and what do you understand is happening right now . In that moment, what happened was a group of autonomous students decided that Princeton Universitys investments in the apartheid state of israel, which is now conducting a genocide with that money shouldnt remain. So we shouldnt profit off of a genocide. And so we came together and we decided to protest peacefully in in consultation with other universities across the United States and we wanted to make a stance that what Princeton University and the institutions here Higher Education institutions and the us government, or investments in the way that were looking at israel and the genocide that were committing isnt right. All right. So uh, night before you arrested princeton, really lisa statement. All right. And it reads in part, i know youve seen it, but let me just write everyone to hear attend via some types of protest actions, including occupying or blocking access to buildings, establishing outdoor encampments are inherently unsafe for both those involved and for bystanders. They increase the potential for escalation and confrontation. There also inconsistent with the universitys mission and legal obligation to provide a safe environment for all those reasons, among others, are policies explicitly prohibit such conduct theyre trying to say you can protests, but you cant camp out. You cant block buildings, you cant you cant do the encampment the way you were doing. So why was it so important for you to defy those rules as opposed to protesting in other way, that they would have said, okay, you have a point of view. You can, you can make that known. You just cant camp out. I think whats important to remember in this context is that we were protesting peacefully. We were not causing khan harm to anyone. We were out there setting up tents so that we could i know to bring light to the universitys investments in a genocide, theres a massive Violent Campaign happening against the gazans just last week, there was a large mass grave that was discovered outside of a hospital where people admitted outside of alshifa, where people who are admitted were killed and then thrown into this mask grave and we were out there protesting this deep violence by peaceful measures. And the university decided to enact violence on me personally by arresting me and having people take down their tents and i dont necessarily understand than double Double Standard there so but just when they say okay, you could have done this another way yeah. Do you feel that nobody would be paying attention unless you did it this way . Unless you divide the rules i dont want to see that we just find the rules that came out a week, or a day before this happened, there were encampments that were happening across the country. And i think it was important for us to show solidarity with the students of Columbia University who are being brutalized. The students for university of texas austin, were clearly being brutalized and having pepper spray against them and yeah, its just important to its important to clarify what our universities are doing together, because this is a national issue, this is an issue across the United States. So one Student Protests later at columbia has gotten a National Attention and im sure youve heard about this video of him surfaced video that he himself had posted before the actual protest. So its not as if it was caught on candid camera. He posted this and i just want to play the operative part of the clip which youve heard. But for anyone who hasnt seen it on social media in the past couple of days. Heres commodity james zionist dont deserve to live comfortably. Let alone zionists dont deserve to live okay, that post is getting a lot of attention. Hes one of the leaders at the protest in columbia how do you react to that . I think its a to say that anyone shouldnt live when were out here protesting a genocide, advocating for the rights of palestinians to live dignified in their home country yeah, thats all i have to say to that so when people say that the protest itself, in what youre calling for is antisemitic. How do you respond to that what were talking about here is the genocide. And i know i keep coming back to that, but i would like for everyone to know that the focus of this protest is to stop killing palestinian people. And to get our situations to take accountability for our investments that are profiting off of the genocide of palestinian people, antisemitism is not anything that we condone. It is a borane. I know that its a very real threat, but thats not a part of what were advocating for. In fact, one of my classmates, we just got arrested today is a Jewish Voice For Peace member and he was brutalized by the administration for protesting i think its important to consider what are institutions are doing in this moment. All right, well, chindia, thank you very much. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Next trumps Favorite Channel tonight, force to pull a salacious story about two key potential witnesses in trumps trial, Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels. But has this story already impacted the jury sitting in that room . Plus marjorie Taylor Greene expected back at the capitol tonight. And shes threatening to oust Speaker Mike Johnson at any moment. If she bluffing or is it real now theyre back in session and trumps future daughterinlaw and Hillary Clinton on the same side tonight is they appear to take on the south Dakota Republican governor for killing her puppy good job. 20 Dietary Supplements in voltaires for healthy Joints Gutters can cause big problems fast until now, call a33 lee filter today for your free Gutter Inspection ive had terrible Flooding Problems on my porch.

Org saada luxury mattresses made affordable. For glycogen into it wrong. And this is cnn tonight a major. May of coal bought from trumps Favorite Channel, the rightwing network, One America News forced to backtrack on a Salacious Story Involving Two of the biggest players in trumps Hush Money Trial Stormy Daniels and Michael Cohen. So for weeks, oan has been spreading this bogus story that trumps former fixer, Michael Cohen how does relationship with Stormy Daniels and then secretly use that to extort the Trump Organization. I guess this is their whole way of explaining the payments. Away and is now retracting the story after cohen hired an attorney, the network says it, quote on quote, regrets publishing the false allegations but since the start of the trial, oan has been saying things supportive of trump. Just listened to what theyve put on the air im almost just running out of steam every de i have to bring up these six, seven different trials and the bs thats being thrown at trump from all of these nefarious actors, we have a corrupt judge to corrupt da, And A Corrupt Jury Panel corrupt jury panel are experts are all here with me. So ryan, let me just start with you though on this story that they have been running about saying Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels, that was the whole sorted affair. Thats why cohen would have, i guess, taken out a home equity. The he locked get the whole thing. Right. This is false. Theyve now retracted it how could the story effect the jury will look could get to the jurors one way or another, either directly that the jurors are exposed to the story or that their friends, colleagues, Family Members are exposed to it, then they say, oh, do you hear about this . And then maybe over here the story and directly and i think thats really awful because it really would be indicting and a certain sense, the credibility of two of the star witnesses in the trial under completely bogus Conspiracy Theory that has no its not like its just bogus. It has no connection as far as we understand it to any facts. So thats whats really bad about it. And its timing. No. I mean, its like its completely made up. I mean, if that sort of thing that anyone could find a connection to, they would have done so a long time. But that would show him and write this is theyre not retracting because its false. So without question, so the law and then the practicality on right, the law is the judge obviously instructs the jury repeatedly. Right. Youre not to talk about it. Youre not the listened to any news reports. Your ta disregard anything and everything until or unless you commented the courtroom and its out of the mouths of witnesses and so the essence of any trial is to focus on the merits of testimony thats the legal reality, the practical reality is you cant unring a wrong vow. The reality is people sprite. I mean, they hear things and no matter what the judge says, you should disregard and then theres the other problem there. And if you then pull the jury and say, hey did you hear about the story . Now youre infecting them with information they may not be cognizant of. So they the judge has to be very careful. Its brought up of how to resolve the issue. But at the end of the day, the case should be about what happened in the courtroom and nothing. All right. So barbara, former Trump Organization executive, right. You worked with trump for decades . Author tower of lies or what you wrote about your time working with trump. So this story comes out at this moment, trumps been told by the judge, he cannot go after jurors or an or witnesses. Right. These gag order alleged violations are mounting up day by day. So you take all of that. And whats happening here at oan and you come up with what term came up with that i put told them to via them they did. Im gonna have seen him do this so many times. You get mad at somebody for saying one thing or another. Create a story i one in particular stands out in my mind about a famous developer who trump said his wife was calling him and chasing him. And i think ive printed in newspapers. I mean, it was just could thats the kind of control he had. So you think this is something he would have just gotten with that . Yeah van well, i mean, this is its the kind dirty stuff that he does. I mean, i really think that were getting used to stuff that is awful to get used to it. Its kinda like mafioso kind of tactics. I mean, its like john godhes running for president or whatever is hes got dirty up this Witness Tamper with it this is kind of stuff that to me makes him shed been a minute eligible to be president. But a lot of people, by the way, do listen to oan because they think fox is too liberal drug countries so far into the ditch, there are people who think that box is too liberal because they are big now why is that at least some of the people on here have acknowledged that trump lost electrolytes as too liberal. So they go into the, into the ditch here with oan so, uh, barbara, this comes ahead of back in court tomorrow, so everyones going back and the jury, Michael Cohens bankers, me back in the stands. So this is the person who set up the llcs to create all these payments and can talk to the exact days that had happened leading into the election and the timing in terms of influencing the election so trump was straight ahead with his eyes closed on friday late in the de, when this banker was started his testimony. So what do you anticipate the impact of this testimony is on trump you know, how much trump taking all of this that is a very, very good question. People are saying now, for the first time in his life, he is actually afraid im not so sure about that. I think hes actually theres more angry than he ever was that people set him up to do. To let this happen but i trump always got away with everything. I dont im not sure that theres any reason that he would change his total belief and his ability to do that. So i i dont think i think hes angry as hell, but i think that he will. You dont by the fear know and i dont think hell hold back. Its, you know, hell be on the borderline of breaking the rules remove the sexually explicit images of hunter biden. Theyre saying that it violates Revenge Porn Laws in many states, and that they say fox knows these private images were hacked, stolen, and or manipulated. Is that a good legal case . So think they might have a strongly okay. Isnt that part of the letter . And if you look at delaware law for example seems to match the allegations here, which is that fox has knowingly reproducing sexual images that are private and that they should no, were not able to be distributed with the persons consent. So thats the problem for fox news, and thats delaware. Thats the state in which theyre incorporated. Thats the state in which they were sued. By dominion and successfully so right. Absolutely. So so nearly over 700 million and delaware probably a favorable state to the biden family in some regards, so i think that thats i think theyd have to calculate all of that and maybe they need to issue a retraction, at least pull down those images. What do you think fox . I mean, they better do something unless you want to shell out another significant judgment, the reality is is you have to be careful. You just cant say anything you want. I know that politicians sometimes do that, but you have a special obligation and when you spout false hoods or you have materials that were not consented to, it could constitute revenge porn. And the other issue is its not only a civil issue to criminally issue. There are criminal statutes throughout this country that speaks to the issue of revenge porn. So if you have these images, theyre altered in some way. Theyre exposing certain body parts and youre doing it. I mean, why . And so i. Think for certain actions be taken against anchors at the network who have talked about. But the issue with under biden the bribery charges even if 100 biden succeeds in some way of getting fox to attract or change or anything that theyve said. Does that do anything . For President Biden, joe biden politically in this election well, i think not much because to be honest, the people who care about hunter biden and know who he is and are following this, are already going to vote against joe biden anyway. So even if a hunter biden is able to redeem himself somehow . Its like those people can say, oh never mind now im Gonna Go Vote for joe biden. If you are deep down the rabbit hole on hundred biden at all, you are already voting for donald trump. So i dont, but i do think its important though. The box and keep getting dinged. And for other of these Propaganda Outfit to keep getting dinged in the courts and having to pay hey, for reputationally and otherwise, because its not fair for this cult around donald trump is consumed half americas media and how people get us getting attacked and youre sticking Massive Media on people who have no recourse except through the courts. Im glad that hes fighting back, but he wont affect the election. All right. Thank you.

Shoppers Breaking News Student Protesters on the move right now. But University Of Texas At Austin, they have been squaring off with police in Riot Gear Dozens now, reportedly arrested in our ed lavendera has been in the middle of it at ut austin. So ed, what are you seeing behind you now . Well, this is a protest that has lasted well into six hours now, and that standoff that we were showing you earlier, aaron, that resulted in a little bit of pepper spray or been fired . Are those officers have kind of left that area gone inside the main Tower Building here, and then we can kinda turn around and show you how this is the area where the officers have gone back inside. So theres a handful of them standing guard outside of the school. But now these protests are saying that theyre going to go back to the south side of the campus and the campus square area. And this is where the protest started this afternoon. And that is an area where we saw and we were reported live this afternoon as State Troopers and Austin Police and as well as university of texas police department. Were we we witnessed is taking several dozen people into custody and arrested. They were warned that if they did not disperse here this afternoon, that they would be arrested for disorderly conduct. And we saw those arrests as the officers went into the encampment area, which is relatively small theyre on the south mall and started plucking people out of their onebyone. It took several hours to do all of that but University Officials the reason they did that, aaron is because they were not going to allow any kind of signs of tents or any kind of a scene where it would be taken as an occupation of any portion of the Campus Grounds here, and thats why thats why University Officials say the the officers in the State Troopers were brought in. They were decked out in riot gear. Now, these protesters going back to the same area where all of this started how many is that exactly clear what their intention will be. But what University Officials really latched onto earlier is that when there was a sign that it was going to be some sort of occupancy occupation with tents and that sort of thing, that that was something that theyre not going to allow University Officials have been seen what has happened in other campuses across the country and get the clear indication that they do not want to see that scene unfold here on this campus. So they are going to prevent it as quickly as possible. These protesters will obviously tell you that they are protesting peacefully. That theyre not doing anything wrong, that they should be allowed to express themselves. But now, as you can see here trying to move a little bit faster, so we can see exactly trying to get a sense aron of what the intention will be here on the south mall of the ut campus . And in a second, youll be able to see the state Capital Building there in the distance and the question will become just how long these students are protesters will please staying here in this portion of the campus exactly how long they will be allowed to stay here earlier, they had officers had cleared a lot of people out of this grass area, is grappling thats the area but i do not see a heavy Law Enforcement presence at all at this point so they might be just kind of waiting to see exactly how this unfolds over the next couple of hours, aaron all right. And were going to keep checking back in with you. Obviously the volume here of students, at least from the images that ed is showing us a significant and not so much the volume of Law Enforcement, at least in these images that we have were seeing here from the Vantage Point that ed has. All right. And were going to check back in with you as the situation develops, that ut austin this hour meanwhile, we do have more Breaking News. The house just back in sessions, Speaker Mike Johnson trying to avoid questions about marjorie Taylor Greene Speaker Johnson, have you talked to marjorie Taylor Greene about motion to vacate threat . Speaker johnson, have you spoken to marjorie Taylor Greene about motions to house took 22 seconds there for him to eventually decided he would answer the question. No. So far, there were hogan congresswoman marjorie Taylor Greene has not forced vote. But one of her top aides vows that it is only A Matter Of Time telling politico, quote, anyone who was saying she is backing down or high drunk or simply out of their mind is high drunk or simply out of their mind. Im sorry. And greene herself warning just yesterday, quote, his days as speaker, our number manu raju was out front on capitol hill mondo, so theyre back and as they returned taylor, greene returns with this threat. Now you have just had a chance as everyones coming back in to speak to a number of republicans what do they think green is going to do well its actually unclear on of course, she can call for this vote to succeed anytime theres any one member of the house can do just that. And right now, she has three republicans who a voting supporting her effort in one of those republicans, i just caught up with thomas massie, who wants mike johnson out of the job. I asked him, i have you decided when youre gonna move forward . Because well, he said, quote, on this side and and so thats means that this thread continues to hover over my johnson. Also the question is, how many republicans will ultimately support this is whether theyve gotten backlash back home or whether people are calling for his ouster in the aftermath of the vote fund, ukraine as part of a larger foreign aid package. And after the members have been back home for a week, talking to the constituents, but i just talked to several republican hardliners in particular, who made clear that they oppose the effort to Push Out The Speaker but try it weakens the party and weakens congress. Theyre off, they feel like they dont get represented up here are you ready to throw the speaker now . Why is that . For a bunch of Different Reasons yeah. Because not a good time yeah the timing. Theres obviously frustration. What happened . You oppose the motion of vacant hollywood. Again, wed probably oppose it. Would kevin, i think right now we need to just do our job and those last two comments coming for some of the loudest critics of some of Mike Johnsons dealmaking with democrats, keep the government open and to fund the war in ukraine. Chip roy, the last one, eli crane, one of the eight republicans who voted to oust Kevin Mccarthy in the fall, the fed historic vote to kick out those pick are making clear very much they do not agree with marjorie Taylor Greenes effort going ahead. But the big question, aaron is still remains. What do democrats do . Because ultimately, if marjorie Taylor Greene does move forward, it would require democrats essentially to keep them in the speakership. And if they do that, how long will we be able to sustain the speakership with the support of democrats . All huge questions for the speaker. This moment absolutely. And if you thought that absence would make the Heart Grow Fonder certainly not. All right. Thank you very much, mono in front now, former republican congressman ken buck, i will remind all of you. He was one of the eight republicans who voted to remove thenspeaker Kevin Mccarthy, but he opposes these efforts to oust Speaker Johnson. So congress, when you and i were talking the other day and at the time you said you were confident that greenes bid to get rid of johnson would fail now, you just, theyre all coming back in, right. You heard Speaker Johnson finally say he has not spoken to her and you hear three of your former republican colleagues say now is not the time to remove him, right . But her office just as its A Matter Of Time, shes going to do it. Shes vowing to do it what do you say to her at this point well, the reason to that she is vowing to do it as she gets a lot of attention and shes had this motion now, i believe for six weeks and has not made it a privileged motion which would require a vote. So as long as she continues to get the attention, shes going to continue to threaten this motion as soon as ci makes the Motion Privilege and the house votes on the motion, she will no longer be getting the attention because mike johnson will be in the speakership and her threat is an empty threat. Your views of green obviously you have not minced words about it ive seeing her as deeply unserious, you know, you called her moscow marjorie, of course, that that went viral and raul and russia as well. But one of your former democratic colleagues, jared moskowitz, is promising that democrats will do whatever it takes to make sure green loses this fight. So democrats wants to come in and save johnson. Heres moscowitz the idea of letting her sit in the peoples house and the well of Congress Giving a speech removing any speaker, and having that powerful moment, there was just no way democrats are going to let her do that. Im not going to let her do that we wont even let her name a post office. Were not going to let for were not going to let him her takeout the speaker so knowing that democrats may be the ones to save johnson you know, what what does that do to this scenario, right . If its democrats who have to save him all the time when this country is highly polarized, when one side is on it feels threatened by the others president ial candidate and vice versa. When, when we are looking at a divided country, mike johnson did the right thing. He did the right thing for history. He brought the ukraine bill to the floor overwhelming democrats support almost a majority of republicans supported it. I dont think the American People want to punish my johnson. I think that politics is downstream from public opinion, and i think he will be saved by the democrats, but i dont think there will be a backlash with republicans as a result so the foreign President Trump has praise johnson. Hes also praised marjorie Taylor Greene do you think hes enjoying this, this fight and this sort of embarrassment playing out, or do you think hell eventually be clear on where he stands . I think the president doesnt want this to happen, but he doesnt want to be the one to make the call for it not to happen if he takes Marjorie Sayyed and it fails, he looks bad if he takes mike johnson sayyed, and theres a backlash, he looks bad. He has a lot of things on his mind right now, and i dont think hes going to focus on this, but any distraction that happens if theres a threeweek effort to name another speaker. It takes away from his message regarding President Biden. So i dont think he wants this to happen all right. Congressman buck, thank you very much. I appreciate it. The next Hillary Clinton and Kimberly Guo Foil, you would think they have absolutely nothing in common except for they do. We have found one thing that they could actually agree on shooting your puppy is a bad thing. They both are taking on the south dakota governor kristi noem, and both trolling heart tonight and the Breaking News, students and police in riot gear facing off tonight is we have a Special Report from iran on how tehran is now exploiting the chaos on Americas College campuses at Morgan Stanley Old School Hard Work meets bold new thinking to help you see untapped possibilities.

Now going like enjoying the coal one while watching the game whos, willing . We are my friend. We are. How could anyone possibly know that every single one of these pistachios is guaranteed to be wonderful by reading right here. Wonderful pistachios are the pistachios that are wonderful. But the word wonderful on them like kimberlee, well foil foreign President Trumps future daughterinlaw, seemingly trolling south dakota governor kristi noem, capitalizing on no story about killing a puppy, announcing this new Childrens Book today called the princess and her pop Hillary Clinton definitely trolling Noem Repurposing of 2021 post, quote, dont vote for anyone. You wouldnt trust with your dog writing today, still, true . No, im continuing to defend herself tonight, doubling down on the killing Sunlen Serfaty is out front facing intense backlash south dakota governor kristi noem, defending herself after bragging that two decades ago, she shot her puppy named cricket dead. Given that cricket has shown aggressive behavior toward people by biting them, i decided what i did. Gnomes newest statement about the incident, her second explanation in three days coming after a bipartisan uproar and horror mocking her for what many see as animal cruelty, Gnomes Grambling to reframe it in good political light, quote, whether running the ranch or in politics, i have never passed on my responsibilities to anyone else to handle even if its poured and painful in her forthcoming memoir, noem describes her 14 monthold white haired, pointed puppy that she tried to use for pheasant hunting. A hobby that she has talked about in the past. I loved it from the time i was little and we ran a Hunting Lodge for many years we started a Hunting Lodge, so i spent years guiding hunters noem says or Puppy Cricket was untrainable, dangerous, and worthless as a hunting dog, according to excerpts obtained by the guardian, i hated that dog. She writes, after cricket attacked her neighbors, chickens, noem says she got her gun, took cricket to a gravel pit and shot him it was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done in that same incident, noem then went on to kill a goat shield because he was nasty and mean that the goat smell disgusting, musky rancid, and had knocked over her children in the past. We have a very special woman who is odd as a politician. Shes, shes doing an incorrect edible job in south dakota. Shes the governor, kristi noem. All this comes as noem as being considered as a Vice President ial candidate for donald trump. Seth toupper has been covering kristi noem since she first ran for congress over a decade ago. Probably the thought before it came out was that this would help her with trump that makes her look like this sort of done toting. Strong western figure whose unafraid to shock people noem has been positioning herself for years. If donald trump is convicted in this trial, we you still support him in november if my choice is between joe biden and donald trump Every Single Day of the week . Yes. I will support donald trump. I have from the very beginning transforming her image, the team here was remarkable and finally gave me a smile that i can be proud of in confident in her approach. The transformation that weve watched with kristinoem are the last four years as somebody who has transformed into this sort of mini trumplike figure who just has this insatiable, craving. It seemed like to be in the headlines all the time for one outrageous thing after the other and seems to thrive on that ticket. Trumps nothing but as Vice President i knew not allowed to say it, so i will not youre not allowed to say shes beautiful, so im not going to say that and sources tells cnns Kristen Holmes at trump world isnt very aware of how bad this story is for numbs the question now is, of course, how does this hurt her prospects of potentially being trumps be p pick. And if this story, that of course is appalled so many was a serious Mcat Miscalculation prior to share, erin. All right. Sunlen, thank you very much. And also tonight, trump on a tear, taking aim at rfk jr. As a quote, a democrat plant to help biden and the radical left lunatic comes is were getting a rare Behind The Scenes look at President Bidens reelection machine. Jeff zeleny is outfront President Biden as a new stop on the campaign trail. Hes visiting democratic Field Offices that didnt exist four years ago after his campaign went virtual in the wake of the pandemic, hey man, this time im around, hes surveyed his political troops from new hampshire. Everyone in this room is going to work our butts off for you every day between now and november to wisconsin. Good to be here to nevada. Were going to be two began exuding confidence at the sprawling operation that bears his name four years after this this were operating out of my home in wilmington, delaware, a biden basement campaign. This is not the size of the organization is emerging as a bright spot in his rematch with donald trump, fueled by the president s fundraising advantage, our job at this point is to build infrastructure in all of our pathways to victory. And we have a bunch of them inside biden headquarters. Fulton, dan kanninen oversees the Battleground Operation in an election that could be decided by thousands of votes in a handful of states, razor thin margins and lots of these states. And i want to press the advantage against donald trump in that campaign. They have not built filled in the structure. Youre talking about places with a half a point, maybe a point, sometimes a quarterpoint of a difference between two candidates i see that this infrastructure as potentially decisive and all those places, the trump campaigns as it will have the message operation and money to win the gop officials in several swing states tells cnn, the former president is far behind what biden is building. Im confident were all gonna get through this while zoom calls and drive in rallies were enough for biden to win last time. I can thank you the traditional mold of campaigning is back 133 Field Offices and counting most all in top battleground states, 2024 is the First Campaign after the pandemic, right . We have to both do some things in 2020, but not everything, and then go back to some things we did in 2012 or 2016 and have a hybrid approach and glass, a volunteer who came to an Office Opening in philadelphia is happy covid campaigning is long over, knocking on doors, running back six feet and now its nice that well be able to have really facetoface contact. Who did a good job four years ago, we can do a better job. Described the growing Biden Operation is preparing for another exceedingly tight race. Every voter you talked to, every door that you not truly does make a difference by trying to bring down trumps margins in republican territory. So youre not building offices and just blue areas. Now, we want to be wherever you can win a voter. The point is you have to go compete in places that you otherwise not might not win, but you want to lose 60, 40 instead of 70, that makes a big difference for all of the challenges facing the president. Building an organization the mold of the old obama Biden Campaigns is designed to help overcome any deficits with trump, that advantage that we have both on time. Were not sitting in court into the structure. And then of course, the Cash Advantage is something that we want to push everywhere the Biden Campaign is preparing for a very close election air. And we know that of course just a few states and Tens Of Thousands of votes, but that happened in 2020. The difference here, this time is they are building a Real Organization and being inside the Campaign Headquarters and wilmington, delaware, that was clear. There offices across the country, but aaron, one thing will be tested in november. Does traditional campaigning and the brickandmortar way still matter the Biden Campaign believes it does thank you, jeff. And next weve got Breaking News.

And well continue to act in support of the right of the iranian people to speak out to their fundamental freedoms but now iran says the uss support of israels operation in gaza killing Tens Of Thousands of palestinians and Police Action against some of those occupying campuses is tarnishing americas own reputation iran is leadership has been extremely vocal about the propalestinian protests going on, on some us campuses.
