"nbc news daily" starts right now. today, thursday, may 2nd, 2024. campus crackdown, president biden breaking his silence about the unrest at colleges nationwide, condemning the chaos, his statements coming

after hundreds. order in court, a fresh round of punishments for former president dx d for allegedly violating a gag order in his hush-money trial. take a beat. are you feeling angry right now, how being mad for just a few minutes can increase your risk of a heart attack. and treating menopause. a new study could help bring relief to millions of women across the country. welcome, everyone. for the first time today, president biden is publicly weighing in on the escalating violence playing out at college campuses nationwide. >> -- protest is not protected. peaceful protest is. it's against the law when violence occurs. destroying property is not a peaceful protest.

>> this was the dramatic scene at ucla overnight. an hours-long standoff after the demonstrators defied orders to disperse. the california highway patrol said hundreds of people were arrested. the encampments are now being cleared up. in new hampshire, police say they made 90 arrests at dartmouth college. more than 2,000 arrests made so far at college campuses all across the country. but not every campus protest is seeing an escalation, encampments will shutter at the university coof minnesota after university leaders and protesters reached an agreement there. we have a team of correspondents at college campuses and at the white house dana griffin, walk us through how things escalated

at ucla. >> reporter: the escalation really reached a boiling point last night. let me go back it reached a boiling point tuesday, many questioning where the police was doing that altercation and then just before dawn around 3:00 a.m. we saw chp officers move in, dismantle the encampment that was set up here and this is what is left behind now, there's been a great effort to clear as much stuff as possible, and in the distance you can see the frontloader that's taking the piles of discarded tents and trash and loading it into these massive rollaway bins and there are several items still left behind. crews are now gearing up again, this new roll-away bin has been brought in, you can see the

graffiti that was left behind. the arrest total at this hour is 209. they say the police presence just here on the campus at ucla from yesterday and today is going to be in the millions. we're told los angeles pay your bass was actually here during that raid at the command post and she essentially reiterated what president biden said that violence and vandalism have no place here at ucla. >> i want to bring in monica alba, president biden had been largely quiet about campus protests and then he speaks out today, what prompted it. >> reporter: it was significant for him to come out and address it. he spoke briefly about four minutes and he did reiterate what the white house's position has been on these protests for weeks saying people have the right to demonstrate peacefully and lawfully.

here's little bit more of what the president had to say earlier. >> there's no place for hate speech or violence of any kind whether it's antisemitism or discrimination against arab americans or palestinian americans, as president i will always defend free speech. i will always be just as strong standing up for the rule of law. that's my responsibility to you, the american people, and my obligation to the constitution. >> reporter: the president referenced also that now everyone had seen these images, so obviously he was talking about the fact that for days this has blanketed not just news coverage but a lot of social media feeds and what the nation is discussing right now, where he wasn't weighing in publicly, reached a tipping point where they decided the president needed to come out and address it. the president decided to run in 2020 he said because of what he

saw at charlottesville and antisemitism, he's spoken out on this before and he will again on tuesday. >> an township ya hylton, you've been there for days, how are students reacting now to president biden's address at columbia. >> reporter: kate, students are divided in many ways you'd expect. for some students, jewish students who have described harassment and fear and intimidation from people involved in these protests they feel his remarks were reflective of his experience. to make very clear the lines between the free speech and peaceful protests. for other students including pro-palestinian students here at columbia and faculty they were hoping for an acknowledgment of

what's happening in gaza and the concerns, human rights concerns that those protesters have. it's so often the case in these stories people are kind of split along these at times predictable lines in items of their emotion, their reaction and what they're looking for from leaders here, and in many ways that pain is coming down very specifically on the administration here at columbia. faculty are now looking at their options to do a censure vote that would condemn the actions of the president. that's where the center of tension is at the moment as we get closer and closer to graduation, kate. >> antonia hylton, monica alba and dana griffin, thanks another consequential day in former president donald trump's first criminal trial, court began today with another hearing of the potential violation of the gag order.

after that hearing the jury then heard new testimony from keith davidson, the lawyer who helped arrange hush-money payments for two of his former clients, stormy daniels and karen mcdougal. let's go the vaughn hillyard and also with me is danny cevallos. vaughn, start with the testimony we heard today. >> reporter: text messages from election night 2016 that were brought before keith davidson as well as this jury to look at and text messages at 3:00 a.m. when it became apparent that donald trump was going to be next president of the united states. a certain exchange there from keith davidson representing storm ya daniels and karen mcdougal to dylan howard the editor in chief of the national enquirer and keith davidson texted howard, quote, what have

we done? to which howard responded, oh, my god. showing this jury that these two individuals knew by striking these arrangements that they were intending and ultimately had an impact on the 2016 case. ultimate reimbursement of the funds to michael cohen of that payment to stormy daniels. they were questioning what the actual motives of keith davidson were and insinuation and implication that potentially stormy daniels' story was made up. not only financial gains for stormy daniels but for keith davidson. this is week three of this trial. week two of testimony here. not clear who the next witnesses could be. there's been chatter over the course of these weeks that donald trump repeatedly having

his eyes closed throughout these hours in the courtroom, donald trump for the first time explicitly responded in a social media post, he said i don't fall asleep during this trial here, i simply close my beautiful blue eyes as i listen intensely and take it all in. >> danny, let's talk about this gag order. he's not supposed to make comments about the jury our witnesses, four instances that the prosecution is pointing to and i think we can play those and then we can talk. >> look at all the lies that cohen did in the last trial, he caught lying in the last trial, he got caught lying. that jury was picked so fast -- 95% democrats. the area is mostly all democrats. just a purely democrat area. >> michael cohen is a convicted liar and he's got no credibility

whatsoever. he was a lawyer and you rely on your lawyers, but michael cohen was a convicted liar. >> it's been very nice. david's been very nice. >> i think he's going to get out on the david pecker. the others he has a pretty good chance of the judge finding him he violated the gag order. michael cohen is out there talking, trump has a stronger argument that he should be a allowed to respond to what cohen is saying to the press. >> he's going to answer questions. >> some version, he said it first, but in the heat of political campaign that may be a stronger argument. with cohen out there talking, a better argument. >> danny, vaughn, thank you both. taylor swift's music label strikes a deal with tiktok and

we're waiting for a hamas response to israel's proposed hostage deal, israel's offering a 40-day cease-fire and the release of potentially thousands of palestinian prisoners if hamas releases 33 hostages, but hamas' decision is uncertain with one official saying the group views the offer negatively. matt bradley is tracking this for us, matt, it's been a long time since we have seen a hostage release. >> reporter: kate, unfortunately this looks like this round of negotiations is going to look a lot like the previous round and the round before that. both sides have been sticking to their transient position since their last deal. there are many problems that are in the way of these negotiations and the main obstacle has remained basically the same for the past several months, the

israelis keep offering temporary cease-fires as hamas has held to one demand permanent cease-fire and withdrawal of israeli troops. neither side has budged from these positions on this central impasse. so this time the israelis helped draft the latest proposal. the biden administration described it as very generous and they fault hamas for not taking what the israelis offered. hamas has made clear they won't sign and israelis have made clear a permanent end to fighting is nonstarters. these negotiations are the same, these talks look like the last best hope to stop israel to invade gaza where 1.5 million palestinians are thought to have taken refuge. the u.s. is warning the humanitarian catastrophe.

>> reporter: washington state has upped the budget to help migrants to $32 million, but that money won't be available until july. so, right now, cities like seattle are left to cover the costs. >> i want folks to know there's a crisis here. >> reporter: many states and cities placing limits on how long migrants can stay in emergency shelters, this week massachusetts governor maura haley signing into law a nine-month cap on migrant shelter stays. >> it will change the current structure of the system. >> reporter: $70 million in denver. roughly a thousand individuals already in the shelter system they'll get placed in an apartment for six months and receive additional assistance.

in today's daily health, new study looking at ways to treat menopause. it found that the benefits outweigh the risks for younger menopaual women under the age of 60. doctor, great to see you. this seems to be a pretty big reversal from rsearch that was done decades ago that challenged the safety of menopause hormones. what does this mean and what else did the study find if. >> i think that this is great day for women's health, especially as we're looking at things such as the white house giving initiative towards health and research for women's health. we've known for a while that hormones really are beneficial when we think of women going through menopausal but longevity

and prevention for other things, bone, brain and heart disease. >> what are the risks and the side effects of using hormonal therapy in. >> when we look at the study, it was pretty flawed in the amount of people or type of women they had in the study but also the type of hormones they were giving these women and which ones were actually contributing to some of ricks that we saw namely breast cancer, people usually formulate between hormone therapy and some type of risk. >> you're talking about the original study. >> exactly. tying that study and what we looked from the results of that study 20 years ago and now the benefits and type of hormones we should be uing there's a correlation between a dekeys of symptoms but also looking at long-term benefit when we think of cardiovascular, bone and breast health.
