As President Biden prepares to make a commencement speech at a georgia college, the school says it will halt sundays ceremony on the spot if protesters interrupt. His decisions do not reflect the moral compass of ourselves as students. Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Good evening and thank you for being with us. Im maurice dubois. Norah is on assignment. Tonight we are following escalating propalestinian protests on campuses around the country. In california, police in helmets and riot gear cleared a lecture hall at uc irvine, arresting 50 people. Chicago Police Arrested two protesters at Depaul University while clearing that encampment. At least five students chained themselves to columns at the university of oregon. And at the university of michigan, protesters placed fake bloody body bags outside the private home of a school board member. These scenes are playing out in the middle of graduation season, and this weekend, President Biden could step into the fray when he travels to georgia to give the commencement address at Morehouse College. Css Nikole Killion reports on how the school and the white house are preparing for possible disruptions. Reporter tonight at Morehouse College in atlanta, fences started going up around the campus ahead of President Bidens commencement address this weekend as concerns build for possible protest. The schools president , david thomas, warned he will halt graduation ceremonies if demonstrations erupt. If my choice is 20 people being arrested on national tv on the morehouse campus, taken away in zip ties during our commencement, before we would reach that point, i would conclude the ceremony. Free, free palestine reporter for weeks, some students have challenged leaders at the historically black college to rescind bidens invitation over his administrations response to the war between israel and hamas. We feel that all of his decisions do not reflect the moral compass of ourselves as students, of this institution, and largely of the black american population. Reporter last week, the white house dispatched Senior AdviserStephen Benjamin to meet with students on campus. I think as long as theyre peaceful protests that dont disrupt the amazing moment that is for each of those graduates there today, i think well all consider this a success. Reporter the president s visit comes at a critical time in a critical battleground state. Biden flipped georgia in 2020. But if the election were held today, a recent New York Times sienna poll shows him losing to former President Trump by 10 points as both candidates try to shore up support with black voters. Look, trump hurt black people every chance he got. Reporter this engineering graduate wants to keep politics out of it. I mean this is like one of the happiest days of my life. If they come over here and ruin it, i dont know. Im going to be hurt. Reporter today, morehouse faculty voted in favor of conferring an Honorary Degree on President Biden. The white house says the president isnt concerned that his visit could overshadow sundays graduation and that he plans to engage with students and faculty while hes here. Maurice. Nikole killion in atlanta tonight, thank you. Michael cohen faced hours of intense questioning today at former President Trumps criminal trial. Defense attorneys accusing him of lying and attacking his character and his testimony. Cbss robert costa once again tonight from the courthouse in lower manhattan. Reporter former President Donald Trump appeared to be closely watching as his defense tore into the credibility of Michael Cohen, who has acknowledged lying under oath in past cases. The last time i appeared before congress, i came to protect mr. Trump. Today i am here to tell the truth. Reporter as the prosecutions star witness, cohen says he lied because of his loyalty to trump and has testified he paid adult film star Stormy Daniels 130,000 to suppress her account of an alleged sexual encounter with trump to stave off a scandal ahead of the 2016 election. And cohen has testified he called thencandidate trump to update him about the transaction. But on thursday, defense attorney todd blanche accused cohen of lying about the call and instead claimed cohen was reaching out to trumps bodyguard to get help because he was receiving harassing phone calls from a 14yearold prankster. Part of it was the 14yearold, cohen testified, saying he discussed the prank calls while also updating trump about the deal. The prosecution misses that Michael Cohen was talking and complaining about some teenager who was pranking him. Thats an unforgivable miss. Reporter in an effort to raise doubts about cohen, blanche played comments from his podcast railing against trump. You Better Believe i want this man to go down and rot inside for what he did to me and my family. Reporter cohen was sentenced to three years in prison amid the fallout of a federal investigation related to his payments to daniels. Although he admitted to violating Campaign Finance laws, he believes he was wrongly charged with tax evasion. I have never asked for nor would i accept a pardon from President Trump. Reporter in another tense exchange, that past testimony was brought up today, and cohen said he and his attorneys did explore a pardon from trump. In court, trump was again joined by several republicans from capitol hill, who spoke out against Michael Cohens testimony while trump remains under a gag order. And theyre all up in arms over this. They cant even believe it. Reporter cohen will be back on the witness stand on monday, and trumps team could finish up its crossexamination that day. A source close to trump tells me he might want to take the witness stand, but for now, thats unlikely. Maurice. Robert costa in new york city tonight, thank you. Back here in washington, House Republicans are pushing to hold attorney general Merrick Garland in contempt of congress. Thats because of garlands refusal to hand over audio recordings of President Bidens interview with special counsel robert hur, who declined to recommend charges in bidens classified documents case. The Justice Department released transcripts from that interview, but today the president asserted executive privilege over the recordings. Tonight parts of texas and louisiana are facing possibly lifethreatening flash flooding from another round of extreme rain. Lets bring in meteorologist mike bettes from our partners at the weather channel. Good evening, mike. Good evening. Heavy thunderstorms and heavy rain becoming a major concern now and through the weekend along the gulf coast. You notice this area with a high risk highlighted in red. That means a significant threat for some flooding. Even areas from alexandria back toward dallas could experience some flooding. But what does that mean, a high risk . Well, how about this stat . Highrisk days, they happen less than a handful of days a year but account for 39 of all floodrelated deaths in the united states. Moderaterisk days account for 17 . Heavy rain, texas and louisiana through the night tonight. Heavy rain all across the southeast through the day tomorrow as well. Some of these storms are turning again for us tomorrow evening and even into our weekend. In total, a lot of places here will pick up 2 to 3 inches of rain with pockets of 3 to 5 or even isolated areas of 5 inches or more, whih of course leads to a very dangerous flood risk. Okay. Mike bettes, thank you. Theres a lot more news ahead on the cbs overnight news. Whats the worst part of the locker room . Shareef axe. Axe. Brandon i like that.

But behind the numbers, there are signs that people are watching how they spend. Lowcost retailers like walmart and target reported higher than expected earnings, and Companies Like mcdonalds and wendys have been forced to cut prices as consumers on a budget react to the high cost of fast food. Jo ling kent reports. Reporter these High Schoolers say a dollar cant get them what it used to. I look at how much money i spend on food, and its a lot more than i expected. Its the big mac for like 4. Its a lot. Now youre getting what for 4 . I got a coke and some fries. Reporter the price of fast food has soared 4. 8 . All i got was one large fry and a small coke, and it was 5. 60 declaration. Why . Tell me why it was 17 for three filet of fishes. Reporter to make their menu more affordable, mcdonalds is now considering adding a new value meal. Can i have one mcchicken, please, one medium fry, and one medium diet coke . Reporter right now, all of this costs 8. And to give customers relief, mcdonalds may soon make it a 5 value meal nationwide. A price that customers havent seen in a decade. Analysis from finance buzz found a mcdonalds quarter pounder with cheese meal has more than doubled. Taco bells beefy fivelayer burrito spiked 132 . And a chipotle burrito is 87 more expensive. For a typical Restaurant Operator in america, onethird of the sales dollar you pay goes to cover labor, and another third goes to cover food costs. Unfortunately, menu prices have to move up in correspondence. Reporter and business is hurting, kfc reported slower foot traffic and mcdonalds missed profit expectations for the first time in two years. I remember when i was younger, there was like the dollar menu that they had. Yeah. Reporter while customers are nostalgic for a dollar menu, theyll take the next best thing. I think a 5 value meal sounds really good. Reporter one way you can save, sign up for those fast food apps and Loyalty Programs and know that while inflation has remained steadily high, it has cooled off a little bit, which sent markets rallying. So that means a possible september rate cut is coming. But for now, mortgage and car loans remain expensive. Jo ling kent, cbs news, new york. And while were on the subject of cars, a new study shows the new car smell that many of us enjoy could be linked to toxic chemicals in the seats. Anna werner explains. Reporter san franciscos veena sing la drives an electric car to help the environment but hadnt thought much about the air inside her car. I never realized there could be toxic chemicals. Reporter about two years ago, she volunteered to participate in a study looking at drivers exposure to flame retardants used on automobile seats to meet federal fire safety standards. She and 100 other car owners placed these silicone bands in their cars for a week to measure the levels of those chemicals in the air inside their vehicles. I want to know what chemicals are in my car and if theres anything i can do to reduce my own exposures. Reporter now the results are in. The study finds vehicles are likely important sources of human exposure to potentially harmful flame retardants. Those most likely to be exposed, commuters, fulltime vehicle drivers, and children. Levels of some of those chemicals were two to five times higher in summer as compared to winter. In hotter temperatures, chemicals are able to be released from the car materials more easily. So the hotter it gets, the more chemical youre likely to have . Yes. Reporter researchers cant say precisely what the Health Effects might be from breathing in those flame retard ants but they know a 2023 u. S. Toxicology report found evidence of carcinogenic activity in rats and mice for the most frequently found chemical. They and others are calling for the federal flammability standard to be reevaluated. The national Highway Safety traffic administration, which sets those standards, told cbs news its aware of the report and is reviewing it. Researchers detected flame retard ands inside all of the cars tested. A group renting automakers said approved flame retardants are included in vehicles to meet the governments required flammability standards. Back in san francisco, veenas test showed flame retardants too, which she says is frustrating. We can do better and have healthier, safer cars. Reporter in the meantime, the researchers recommend when you first get in your car, roll down the windows and let the air out. Anna werner, cbs news, san francisco. Police and Sheriffs Departments are contactually upgrading their weapons. Cbs news partnered with nonprofit news stations to look into this, and we discovered many of these police guns are sold and thousands end up being involved in crimes every year. Stephen stock reports. You know, another family lost another child at the hands of a firearm that shouldnt even be on the streets. It shouldnt even be on the streets. Reporter candace leslies only son died three years ago, shot four times outside his apartment. Detectives gathered a gun involved in Cameron Browns death but theyve made no arrest. Im losing trust in the people who are supposed to protect and serve us. Reporter but what candice didnt know, until we told her, was that a weapon involved in her sons death here in indianapolis was a former Police Weapon from a Sheriffs Office more than 2,300 miles away. Using public records, cbs news traced a gun involved in browns death, a glock 21 handgun, to a Sheriffs Office in stan us las county, california. Theres no reason for Police Firearms to be in the hands of teenagers. I would say to camerons mom, im very sorry for your loss, but my organization had nothing to do with it. Reporter Stanislaus County sheriff jeff dirksy told cbs news los angeles he makes no apologies for trading in used guns. He says that saves taxpayer money when the Department Updates its arsenal. Its a legal transaction. Ill go back to so if i legally sold my old used patrol cars, then somebody uses that in Te Commission of a crime, is that our responsibility . I would say no.

During a 16 year time period ending in february 2022, the atf traced 52,529 former Police Service weapons to crimes somewhere in america. On average, thats more than 3,200 guns every year, 9 every day. Its good to know that these things arent going to end someplace they shouldnt. Reporter this is what seattles Police Department does with its used guns. We recently watched as they melted 179 used service weapons. Seattle changed its policy in 2016. Its not worth that risk. Whats the worst thing in your mind that could happen if a police gun got in the wrong hands . Well, if youd be using in a criminal act and a shooting, killing somebody, or even killing an officer.

The 60th anniversary sports ill straighted swimsuit edition is out, and its not all beaches and bikinis. Meg oliver has a look.

Gorgeous, guys. What are you hoping achieve with this historic cover . I want the world to realize that Sports Illustrated has evolved into such a far more widereaching, powerful vehicle of change. Reporter over the years, the issue has transformed to include women from sports, news, and entertainment, representing different races, ages, and body types. From the magazines first transgender cover model, lay na bloom, to helena aidan, the first woman wearing a hijab. And this year, our very own gayle king. Everyone, gayle kings in the house i honestly thought when i heard Sports Illustrated was wanting to talk to me, that i was being punked. Of all the things in my life, all the things in my life, being a model isnt one of them. Happy, gayle . Yes. Gorgeous. Reporter the swimsuit issue made its first splash in the winter of 1964.

When you first graced the cover in 1975, what did it do for your career . The Sports Illustrated cover is such a huge get. Its great for your career. For so many years, the only people who graced the cover were skinny, white women who were barely wearing anything. Why did it take so long for the magazine to put a woman of color on the cover . I mean i think it took a long time for the world to think differently about what was being, you know, spoon fed to them. Reporter tyra banks broke that barrier in 1996. What impresses you most about the evolution of this brand . Oh, my gosh. Think about it. Decades ago, im the first black woman on the cover, and that was 1996. Thank you for the number because i dont remember. That was like, oh, my god, a big deal. It reverberated around the entire globe. As the swimsuit edition evolved, did you lose readers . Definitely, but we didnt care. We thought that the right reader would come along with us, and the wrong ones we didnt want. Do you think you were able to change some peoples minds along the way . Definitely. Reporter at the end of the day, its still the swimsuit issue, but the key to success for Sports Illustrated is evolution. Listen, theres a lot of swimsuit photos in this issue. Were not short on swimsuits. But i really like the idea of having all these women come together in a way that was different for us for once. Were wliving our best life. Wre not afraid.

In california, police in helmets and riot gear cleared a lecture hall at uc irvine, arresting 50 people. Chicago Police Arrested two protesters at Depaul University while clearing that encampment. At least five students chained themselves to columns at the university of oregon. And at the university of michigan, protesters placed fake bloody body bags outside the private home of a school board member. These scenes are playing out in the middle of graduation season, and this weekend, President Biden could step into the fray when he travels to georgia to give the commencement address at Morehouse College. Cbss Nikole Killion reports on how the school and the white house are preparing for possible disruptions. Reporter tonight at Morehouse College in atlanta, fences started going up around the campus ahead of President Bidens commencement address this weekend as concerns build for possible protests. The schools president , david thomas, warned he will halt graduation ceremonies if demonstrations erupt. If my choice is 20 people being arrested on national tv on the morehouse campus, taken away in zip ties during our commencement, before we would reach that point, i would conclude the ceremony. Free, free palestine reporter for weeks, some students have challenged leaders at the historically black college to rescind bidens invitation over his administrations response to the war between israel and hamas. We feel that all of his decisions do not reflect the moral compass of ourselves as students, of this institution, and largely of the black american population. Reporter last week, the white house dispatched Senior AdviserStephen Benjamin to meet with students on campus. I think as long as theyre peaceful protests that dont disrupt the amazing moment that is for each of those graduates there today, i think well all consider this a success. Reporter the president s visit comes at a critical time in a critical battleground state. Biden flipped georgia in 2020. But if the election were held today, a recent New York Times sienna poll shows him losing to former President Trump by 10 points as both candidates try to shore up support with black voters. Look, trump hurt black people every chance he got. Reporter this engineering graduate wants to keep politics out of it. I mean this is like one of the happiest days of my life. If they come over here and ruin it, i dont know. Im going to be hurt. Reporter today, morehouse faculty voted in favor of conferring an Honorary Degree on President Biden. The white house says the president isnt concerned that his visit could overshadow sundays graduation and that he plans to engage with students and faculty while hes here. Maurice. Nikole killion in atlanta tonight, thank you. Michael cohen faced hours of intense questioning today at former President Trumps criminal trial. Defense attorneys accusing him of lying and attacking his character and his testimony. Cbss robert costa once again tonight from the courthouse in lower manhattan. Reporter former President Donald Trump appeared to be closely watching as his defense tore into the credibility of Michael Cohen, who has acknowledged lying under oath in past cases. The last time i appeared before congress, i came to protect mr. Trump. Today i am here to tell the truth. Reporter as the prosecutions star witness, cohen says he lied because of his loyalty to trump and has testified he paid adult film star Stormy Daniels 130,000 to suppress her account of an alleged sexual encounter with trump to stave off a scandal ahead of the 2016 election. And cohen has testified he called thencandidate trump to update him about the transaction. But on thursday, defense attorney todd blanche accused cohen of lying about the call and instead claimed cohen was reaching out to trumps bodyguard to get help because he wa receiving harassing phone calls from a 14yearold prankster. Part of it was the 14yearold, cohen testified, saying he discussed the prank calls while also updating trump about the deal. The prosecution misses that Michael Cohen was talking and complaining about some teenager who was pranking him. Thats an unforgivable miss. Reporter in an effort to raise doubts about cohen, blanche played comments from his podcast railing against trump. You Better Believe i want this man to go down and rot inside for what he did to me and my family. Reporter cohen was sentenced to three years in prison amid the fallout of a federal investigation related to his payments to daniels. Although he admitted to violating Campaign Finance laws, he believes he was wrongly charged with tax evasion. I have never asked for nor would i accept a pardon from President Trump. Reporter in another tense exchange, that past testimony was brought up today, and cohen said he and his attorneys did explore a pardon from trump. In court, trump was again joined by several republicans from capitol hill, who spoke out against Michael Cohens testimony while trump remains under a gag order. And theyre all up in arms over this. They cant even believe it. Reporter cohen will be back on the witness stand on monday, and trumps team could finish up its crossexamination that day. A source close to trump tells me he might want to take the witness stand, but for now, thats unlikely. Maurice. Robert costa in new york city tonight, thank you. Back here in washington, House Republicans are pushing to hold attorney general Merrick Garland in contempt of congress. Thats because of garlands refusal to hand over audio recordings of President Bidens interview with special counsel robert hur, who declined to recommend charges in bidens classified documents case. The Justice Department released transcripts from that interview, but today the president asserted executive privilege over the recordings.

We havent had a single wound patient in the icu that has made it out. Not a single one . No. Reporter most of their patients are kids. She had glitter on her fingernails. She had this colored hair.
