tv   The Lead With Jake Tapper  CNN  May 1, 2024 2:00pm-3:00pm PDT

2:00 pm
358800 to 908358 i'm fred pleitgen in tech ron, and this is cnn welcome to the lean. >> on tiktok or this hour. here's a question. why haven't you heard more from the president of the united states about all stuff going on campuses right now. while the white house press secretary was asked exactly, that's not long ago. >> here. her response coming up plus music legends jon bon jovi here on the lead telling us
2:01 pm
about a serious health issue here that almost ended his career. plus the big new project he has out now leading this, our breaking news moments ago, the arizona state senate voted to repeal that states civil war era abortion ban, a law that was first introduced in 18 64 before women had the right to vote. and when the age of consent in arizona, according to some historians, was ten, the law bans abortion at all stages of pregnancy except to save the life of the mother. let's get straight to cnn's natasha. natasha, what happens next? and what does this mean for the ability to get an abortion? in arizona jake, there's a lot of whiplash for arizonans. >> what we're expecting now is for the house to receive what the senate just repealed and send it onto the governor's desk where she is expected to sign it, but the repeal wouldn't take effect until 90 days after the legislative session ends. so right now, the earliest this could go into effect is june 20 the attorney general of arizona has,
2:02 pm
however, asked for a stay while her office considers whether to ask the us supreme court to review this ruling. so for right now, arizonans just need to know that the 15 week ban is in effect in their state. and there was a lot of heated debate on the senate floor today in arizona. the soundbites you're going to hear our republican anthony kern, who is was actually indicted last week, is one of the so-called fake electors followed by a democratic senator of a birch who has been very open about her miscarriage i am just very sad that our republican party can't come together on this. and can work something out when the next election when i believe just the opposite, i'm not afraid of the abortions that i had. i do not fear for my soul. they were the right decisions for me and i don't have to follow your religion in this country
2:03 pm
so to point out, this is all very political as senator kern was saying president trump has weighed in the candidate kari lake has weighed in on this law being just too extreme. >> so the republican party is very split on what to do here and to emphasize the early is this could go into effect is june 27th, even though this repeal after the governor signs, it would go into effect 90 days after the legislative session ends. jake. >> all right. natasha can thanks so much. just hours go. vice president kamala harris was in battleground, florida, where a brand new abortion ban just went into effect before today, florida had allowed an abortion up to 15 weeks of pregnancy. now a legal abortion must happen within six weeks of pregnancy, which is well before most women, even know they are pregnant. the vice president today noted this and played, placed the blame squarely on one particular individual cross. our nation we witness a
2:04 pm
full-on assault state by state on reproductive freedom and understand who is to blame former president donald trump did this. >> joe biden, i haven't a different view we believe the government should never come between a woman and her doctor cnn's meg tirrell went inside a women's health center in florida just hours before this new abortion ban went into effect, the clinic full of patients and anxiety that's very scary that these laws are being put into place in my life matters. >> a sense of urgency inside a woman's choice clinic in jacksonville, florida, as mom of two, candace agreed to speak with us as she's sought an abortion for privacy reasons, candace was comfortable providing only her first name and asked us not to show her face there. i don't think anybody plans to do something
2:05 pm
like this until it happens to them in their face. so that decision candace came to this clinic on a much busier day than usual? just hours before abortion access in florida would dramatically change the state's 15 week limit. today, rolled back to a six-week near-total ban. >> very few we're fighting that at that point. >> kelly flynn is the president and ceo of a woman's choice. she took us inside the clinic. she bought in 2002 in the last few days, flynn says they scheduled to four times as many patients as they normally see now, when you get a call from somebody who's after six weeks, what do you tell them if they're local? we tried to get them to come in. we will try to get them come in and at least see where they are in their pregnancy. you give them their options and help them with whatever we can with little just sticks with travel governor ron desantis spoke in support of the law this week, being able to provide protections for a baby that has
2:06 pm
a detectable heartbeat is lawful and constitutional the change doesn't just affect florida because surrounding states have had stricter laws. >> many people have traveled to florida to access abortion. almost 8,000 last year, according to state records. >> this changes everything for the entire southeast not just for floridians, but for this rounding states for alabama, louisiana mississippi, tennessee i worry it's going to be a public health crisis this now, patients across the south may have to travel as far as 800 miles to north carolina where the limit for abortion is 12 weeks or further north thank, you for global woman. >> she's me hoping we have clinics and jacksonville, florida. we also add charlotte, greensboro raleigh, north carolina, and virginia woman's choice just opened its clinic and virginia anticipating florida's ban in jacksonville, they showed us how many charts they'd been preparing for patients today, less than the
2:07 pm
amount that i have to make tomorrow is that many pretty, significant change. >> this morning, the team regrouped for their new reality. >> we're going to continue to stay open because i know many of you have been asking about that and we'll we'll see is many patients serve as many patients as we can that are within the required limitations. now, it's not the end of their fight. abortion will be on the ballot in florida in november will you be able to keep this clinic open that long? >> i'm gonna do my best. i'm going to try really hard for patients like candace speaking to us yesterday on the eve of the new restrictions, it's a fight not just for her, but also her 14 year-old daughter. and i feel lucky that right now, i do have a voice and i have a right over my own body. but we can up tomorrow is devastating knowing that my daughter and myself are waking up tomorrow with less rights than we do today jake this
2:08 pm
clinic here in jacksonville did stay open today, but they told us the span of course, is already having effects on the patients that they see. >> they said that there were at least three the patients today who they had to turn away because they were already after six weeks between six weeks and just after eight weeks. one of those patients at least has already made plans let's to go out of state, jake, where i'm meg tirrell in jacksonville. thanks so much. jacksonville mayor done a dig in and joins us now she appeared alongside vice president harris today at that campaign. focused on abortion rights. madam mayor, thanks for joining us. so as of today, patients and florida may now have to travel as far away as north carolina. i think that's the closest eight were born i can access is legal to seek an abortion after six weeks of pregnancy. i know that a lot of women don't even know they're pregnant until after six weeks what do you recommend that women and girls in your community who are pregnant do in this case if they want to
2:09 pm
get an abortion, what resources are available for them well, i think you just heard a lot of that in the story that you've just presented. >> i mean, at this point, unfortunately, we have to give them other options to go to other states in the state of florida we take our right to privacy very seriously. it's actually written into our constitution. and i believe that the preponderance of people in this state, especially women, are very cool concerned about having this government intrusion into their lives. but at this point, they'll have to go elsewhere in september. >> you mentioned that you had a good relationship with florida republican governor ron desantis, in part because you worked in television news with his wife, casey. have you spoken to either of them about this new law and how it's impacting women in the city either to the the governor or the first lady we haven't spoken about this now, obviously we are very much at odds in terms of what we believe is the right thing to do. >> here. i am very very deeply
2:10 pm
appreciative of people's religious beliefs, personal, private religious beliefs. >> at the end of the day. >> this is about government intrusion. >> we talked a lot about freedom in this state this is about freedom to make your own medical choices, your own choices about your own health, and right now, women don't have that opportunity like they did 24 hours so i believe in the state of florida, people will speak loudly and clearly and say that this is not acceptable to them because this is as you heard, the woman say a moment ago, this is not just about women today. this is about our daughters. this is about our future and women's rights really should be equal to the rights of men. and i don't think that you would see this i don't think you would see this pass if this was something that affected men bodies the way that it affects women's bodies. >> well, i mean, there will be an election, right? because in november floridians will consider a ballot measure that will essentially overturn the six-week abortion ban. it would if it passes. and i think you
2:11 pm
need 60% enshrine abortion rights into the state constitution. what are you hearing from voters? do you think do you think your side can get 60% at the polls to ensure? brian this in the constitution well, if you look at the polling right now at, you can see that the numbers are there i think the effort there will be to make sure we get those folks to the polls. >> polls, and i can tell you that right now, they seem very motivated to do so the very same de that supreme court in florida said that the six-week abortion ban was legal they also gave voters the right to go in and say that we want abortion protections in the state of florida. so voters will have the opportunity to make their voices heard for me. someone who has fought for women's health for a very, very long time. i think it is, it is something that women especially will embrace, but i think a good number of men as well. people in this state value their privacy and they don't want government overstep into their lives fives, and that is exactly what this is.
2:12 pm
>> all right. mayor done a dig and thank you so much for your time today. i appreciate it. we're following some breaking news here on the latest flare-up of campus protests this time fordham university in new york city, where you go their life next there are giant my god they are the minute woman building babies next generation submarines they are judged the it's, and what, they do, because they worked in a place where they can grow, where they can learn the skills to build careers as powerful as the beast we build, giant because it takes to build one i've struggled with generalized myasthenia gravis but the pitches started changing when i started on vif guard this guard has for adults generalized myasthenia gravis or anti aac, antibodies a positive in a clinical trial

2:16 pm
you may have called and we'll come to you 808 to one 4,000 fordham university is the latest flashpoint for campus protests over the war in gaza. cnn's shimon prokupecz is there right now. she wants since we checked in with you and last hour police and protesters have come pretty close, still still peaceful are or what? but yeah, jake, for the most part still peaceful, but just within the last few minutes more nypd officers have moved in. >> i'm going to show you that in a second. i can. but also we now have faculty members who have joined some of the students here you can see them here, locked arm in arm. you're out here to support the students, but also to protect the students as the nypd started mobilizing and we saw more of the faculty members come out. here are locked arm and i want to show you the nypd presence, what they nypd has done is he's officers who just got here, put on their helmets and they're now standing face-to-face. it's basically with the protesters and what
2:17 pm
they're doing is protecting the windows here at fordham university because inside and it's going to be hard to see because of the reflection jake, remember in the last hour was telling you there are a number of students and former students who are basically essentially set up camp sayyed the lobby of the university. they are refusing to leave and they've been banging on the windows here. and so the nypd has moved in, you and see the officer here lined up against a window and right now, this is about ami. they are really face-to-face with many of the protesters. the thing here you're right now from officials that we've talked to with the city, the university has not asked the nypd to move in and remove the students. they are waiting for that letter. it's a whole legal process as we saw at columbia that has not happened. so for now, the nypd is standing by. they say they're ready to go in. >> it's not a lot large number of students inside, but it's
2:18 pm
certainly what's driving the protests outside. so many of the people out here are supporting the students and the former students that are inside. >> for now, everyone out here is standing around chanting, but it is it's notable that within the last few minutes shake that we have seen this increase in police presence. >> they have also closed the street here. and so we just wait here. more people certainly since the last hour have come here. and for now, we're just standing by to see what happens. >> so she amount just two quick questions if you could be quick first one, the students and the faculty faculty that are there are they blocking other people from being able to go to school, go to the school administration live their lives or they just protesting here, just protesting the school actually for security reasons. >> and because of safety concerns have closed the doors to the front of the school. and they're telling faculty and students they have to enter on
2:19 pm
the second 60 seconds street side. so the school itself the entrance and exit here at the front is closed. so but they're not blocking anyone. the sidewalk is being blocked. so at some point, the nypd could come in and tell them to leave the sidewalk or be arrested. that has not yet happened. we don't have any indication that that's going to happen with that could happen all right shimon prokupecz, i'll just go leave it there. thank you so much. appreciate it. let's talk about this with my panel. and now you're we were talking about this because one of the chances, oh, it's 2024 music. thank you so much. thanks. appreciate. it, but segue right into the conversation here. so najjar, were talking about this because one of the chants we hear is intifada. intifada, which in arabic means uprising but obviously has a historical meaning for a lot of people when it comes to the israeli, palestinian conflict, which is there was the first intifada and the second intifada which were very bloody and awful situation geons with terrorist activities against innocent israelis and lots of
2:20 pm
palestinians killed in the west bank as well and you were just saying you had a thought and then using that as a chance in our conversation where we're thinking, does everybody who's chanting that really understand what that term even? >> means and the historical implications of that. and that violence and death was really the result without any political change for the palestinians or for the israelis, the two-state solution was not move forward. as a result, and that that's been part of the challenge of reconciling the status quo and israel and palestine and finding a path forward. the challenge is see what these protests right now, we were coming off a moment in which the humanitarian crisis in gaza was bringing people's attention to the issue, to the challenges and a way that recognized everyone's humanity. and that was almost a positive action. and now that we have campus protests where they're pro israeli and palestinian as the hardline definitions, it's moving backwards in the discourse to a
2:21 pm
place that we were years ago that still didn't result in anything better for either these rallies where the palestinians. >> and you said recently you don't think it's actually the issue of gaza that is alienating young people from joe biden. you think it's just more pocketbook issues, right yeah. i think there's a certain obviously there's a certain element at that is, this is very motivating, but when you look at the the disapproval that joe biden is experiencing right now, according to multiple surveys, including cnn's over the weekend, i think it's more of the economy we've seen this decline. i think really for the last couple of years, that's it's why i don't think it's just it might manifest itself right now, but i think it goes deeper than that, and i think it's very pocketbook issues that the cnn poll had joe biden performing the worst with the youngest demographic, which is usually his sweet spot and mckend while democrats are hammering trump on the abortion can issue kamala harris earlier today. >> republicans are blasting president biden for not being at more outspoken on the issue
2:22 pm
of the campus protest, getting out of control, the antisemitism we've seen at some of the protests today, the white house announced that president biden will speak at the us holocaust memorial museum next week here is how the press secretary defended president back and take a listen no president, no president has spoken more forcefully about combatting anti-semitism than this president what we're seeing is a small percentage of students that's what we're seeing. >> they should not be able to disturb or disrupt the academic experience that students have he could probably stand to wait until tensions are not so high on college campuses. i remember a few months ago at the white house when he suggested that the number of palestinian deaths, that it wasn't an accurate number, and he received significant pushback from muslim americans in conversation with him at the white house who really decried sort of the callousness that they felt that he was offering at that time, the policy speaks
2:23 pm
volumes. jake the american policy right now under president biden's leadership is to fully support israel monetarily, politically from a policy perspective. and so that really says it all. i think when he is prepared to speak, what she will do. so next week and gives remarks that really ellis everyone's humanity. i think that that really leaves him in the best position to not just speak reflexively, which is cost him some political trouble in the past. but really speak in a way that recognizes the widespread suffering. >> and there are campuses where they have figured out how to have conversations had a de-escalate, and that's been the priority rather than looking at protests on foreign policy issues, whether it be vietnam or iraq war. and now war in palestine that you can, this is like 1,600 people have been arrested, but we've had multiple multiple campuses where faculty and the academics
2:24 pm
and the institutions have been responsive. they've had dialogue and we haven't had violence. so the challenge is looking at all of this strictly through a security lens, whether it's a security lines in the foreign policy, but also the security lines of immediately bringing police to the table first, when you have students peacefully protesting. so i want to bring some breaking news to you right now for us house of representatives has passed that antisemitism well, we told you about in the last hour when we interviewed congressman lawler and moscowitz, 70 democrats, 21 republicans voted against the bill. still an overwhelming passage. some of the republican no votes notable names include matt gaetz, andy biggs, paul gosar, marjorie taylor greene. the last two, we should note previously spoke at a white nationalist convention on, the democratic no votes include aoc, i, pramila, jaya, paul, and ilhan omar. the bill would require the department of education to offer the same protections given under the civil rights act of 1964. that act prohibits discrimination
2:25 pm
based on race, color, or national origin, giving those protections to jewish students across the nation. in grades k through 12. i want to do i want to flip back to abortion if we can, because that is an issue that a lot of democrats are talking about today. and frankly, a lot of floridians, a lot of arizonans, and allows a lot of south dakotan because those issues bubbled up in those states today. we just heard trump's say, people are happy about abortion being left to the states. i think we have this byte. he just said it in battleground wisconsin a few minutes ago, if we could run that clip okay you don't have a ready never mind. we're a little out of order today because of all the breaking news in any case, what he said was basically the states decided an abortion and people are absolutely thrilled with the way that's going on in every state is different. every state they asked me a question about it. i'll say it's up to the state. so i say to you, we did a very good job. a lot of people very happy about the truth is a lot of people were not happy about it. this is a divisive issue and actually a lot of republicans are worried that this is going to hurt republicans in the fall. your
2:26 pm
thoughts? yeah. i think the best thing i mean, by living up to the states, you allow the voters to make the decision that's closest to the lawmakers close to the people, and it's going to be different he's the president came out and said he thought six weeks was a little too restrictive and you have a lot of republicans who have said that seventh, eighth, ninth month abortions and some of them blue states is also a way to open and liberal. >> so can we meet in the middle, even arizona now goes to 15 weeks, which the president has said it's probably the right area and where the polling i've seen says mostly america i can people are about 70% think four months is about the right time to set that limit but let those voters and those local elected officials decide. >> he's referring, of course, to former president trump, current president biden has a different view as his vice president kamala harris. the challenge we're going to see when different during this to the states is this assumption that state senators and legislators are actually closer to the people. and so we are seeing referenda that have put in, um constitutional amendments that are being tried when voters have direct direct access, they resoundingly vote
2:27 pm
in favor of keeping health care access open, letting doctors make decisions with women directly. this is gonna be a problem for at the local level for republicans going forward and in south dakota, it might be on the ballot, not that that means that south dakota is about to go blue, but still it could be, it could have an impact. who knows, thanks to all of you. appreciate your being here. this is a big de for donald trump campaigning in two battleground states today from trial-to-trail, the stage is set for his appearance in michigan just a few minutes after appearing in the badger state, wisconsin earlier. what can he expect tomorrow when he finds himself back in that new york courtroom that's next five good things. >> listen wherever you get your podcasts salon pots lot again, flex, but super thin, flexible patch with maximum otc strength lidocaine that contours to the body to relieve pain and right where it hurts. >> and did we mention it really, really sticks salon pass. it's good medicine with armor all a little bit of this

2:32 pm
law and justice lead tomorrow tomorrow testimony resumes in trump's hush money cover up trial manhattan nine a.m. exactly eastern time expected to return to the stand as keith davidson, he is the attorney who represented both 1998 playboy playmate of the year, karen mcdougal, who alleged in a fair of some months with donald trump, as well as adult film actress and director stormy daniels, who alleged a brief dalliance with mr. trump. >> mr. trump? denies both of those allegations joining us now to discuss trial attorney misty marris, manhattan criminal defense attorney stacey schneider. misty tomorrow or early next week. we could see michael cohen take the stand. keith davidson has not been painting the most positive picture of his interactions with mr. cohen. one example is with keith davidson. he's trying to he's trying to do a deal here for karen mcdougal he says, quote the that gina rodriguez, that stormy daniels manager calls davidson and says some jerk called me it was very, very
2:33 pm
aggressive and threatened to sue me. and i would like uk's to call this jerk back and who was that jerk steinglass asked michael cohen, davidson said, so how is this going to impact the jury? do you think when they listened to cohen's testimony, which is expected to be any any day now who was that jerk, nobody wants to hear that. but look, there's a strategy here for the prosecution to put people like keith davidson and these other foundational witnesses on before michael cohen. and the reason is because michael cohen's going to have credibility issues. the fact that he is hectic, the fact that everything's always an emergency. he called them pants on fire that is really not going to be the thing that moves the needle. what's going to be impactful to the jury is what and michael cohen's testimony is corroborated by these other potentially more likable and credible witnesses. so i would expect a lot of what we're hearing with keith davidson where he's super professional very lawyerly.
2:34 pm
going to be mirrored and some of what comes out of michael cohen's testimony for the purpose of corroborating those facts stacy, tomorrow will be they six of testimony for the prosecution's witnesses. we still haven't heard from many of the expected bombshell witnesses such as michael cohen, of course, stormy daniel's kellyanne conway, hope hicks karen mcdougal, misty just mentioned the strategy for calling what's the strategy for others when they go on the stand i think the prosecution here is telling the story in order. >> they started with the background, david pecker, and all of the alleged catch and kill schemes before the election to benefit trump's process specs. >> then they get to keith davidson yesterday and they are they put him on to show that when david pecker did not want to go forward and deal with the whole stormy daniels story and purchasing it, that he turned it over to michael cohen to do
2:35 pm
that. >> it's sort of the next order in the story. so tomorrow we're going to have the, the cross-examination of keith davidson, stormy daniel's attorney, who brokered the alleged deal with michael cohen to buy the story. and you'll see the process i'm sorry, the defense trump because they're going to be up tomorrow having to deal with what already is out in court. that is, again, thanh trump to all this was done allegedly to help his election prospects, chances. so what they're going to do tomorrow is make minced meat out of michael cohen once again. so capitalize on that, he was called a jerk, that he was abrupt, that he's abrasive, that nobody at the national enquirer wanted to deal with him and they're going to play that up because it's part of the narrative that this is michael cohen's bs story. you can't trust him. and the only story is what donald trump's lawyer said in opening statements, which is the theme
2:36 pm
of their defenses. this isn't about the election, this is about donald trump fighting back and protecting his family, his image and his reputation. and that's their whole defense. they put it out there. the prosecution's cases. this is an anything personal. this is all about the election and donald trump is governed by election law and he allegedly broke that law. so that's what they're gonna do tomorrow. just poke holes, poke holes until they get to the bigger witnesses. so misty tomorrow at 9:30 a.m. eastern sharp. >> so it's about 21 hours from now. trump faces yet another hearing for violating the gag order. prosecutors have alleged trump broke it an additional four times. yesterday is trump was fined $9,000 for violating it nine times previously. here are the four moments prosecutors are going to be discussing in tomorrow. this hearing on whether he violated the gag order what are they going to look at all the lives that did the last drug court
2:37 pm
lines and the last trial so he got caught lying pure lime. that's yuri was picked so fast, 95% democrats the areas mostly all democrat. do you think of it as just a purely democrat area it's a very unfair situation that i can tell you michael cohen is a convicted liar and he's got no credibility whatsoever. he was a lawyer and you rely on your lawyers. >> david's been very nice and nice guy. >> drop referring there to david pecker, who was the first witness on the stand. how do you think the judge is going to rule on these violation times, at least three maybe the what about david pecker? will hill let's lie, but look, it's very clear yet witnesses and the jury are off limits, so i think we're going to see another fine, but the judge has said if this continues here's what willful violations, we could see incarceration. so think we're going to see a few violations tomorrow. jake, stacy, you think that's a real risk incarceration i mean, not
2:38 pm
really. >> i think the judge judge marsha and had to say that to donald trump because it's it's over and over and over again. but the interesting thing to note is the prosecution in the original hearing about his violating the gag order? did not ask for jail time. they wanted the fine punishment which everybody knows. what's $9,000 to donald trump. it's worth its weight in gold and publicity alone so i think we'll see more of threats and eventually it's going to be have to be so egregious for donald trump to go to jail over violations all right. >> misty marris, stacey schneider. thanks to both you and as the new york hush money cover up, trial resumes, you can join me for special coverage in the morning starting at 9:30 eastern right here on cnn. that's tomorrow. >> just hours ago, convicted rapist harvey weinstein, stepped back into a new york courtroom just days after his conviction, there had been overturned. >> could he get a brand new trial? with a brand new judge? that's next hello ghostbusters

2:53 pm
cords. tell us more about that and how that's affected this album. >> long story short, is that what you see in the dock was shot one and two years ago, but it was a major reconstructive surgery that i didn't anticipate. i had never done anything wrong other than used it a lot. and they put in an implant to get the courts to close properly again, so everything that's in the dock was a year in two years ago? i'm not ready to go out and do two-and-a-half hours a night, every night but that's the goal. i'm getting there were you afraid we haven't talked about this? i don't know if i was afraid. i think my only choice was jewett or retire because the quality of what i was doing wasn't up to my standard. >> so i do want also want to talk about the fact that you and your amazing wife have, have created the jb ja soul foundation and run jb j soul kitchens where people can get high-quality restaurant food. and if they can't pay, they can volunteer. that's right. to cover the middle. tell us more about that. >> well our foundation is some 20 years old. we'd now have four of these jb, j soil
