very unprecedented. >> former top doj official michael co-angelo questioned hicks about meeting david pecker, the ceo of american media. hicks testified that she remembers seeing pecker at trump tower but doesn't recall a meeting where pecker agreed to help the trump campaign. hicks also testified that michael cohen often inserted himself in to campaign activities. telling the court "he used to like to call himself mr. fix-it. it was only because he first broke it." today trump claimed a reporting from cohen's phone showing a conversation about financing the stormy daniels payment is misleading. posting on truth social the tape played yesterday and discussed today while good for my case was cut off at the end in the early stages of something very positive that i was in the midst of saying. why was it cut off? >> shannon, we're learning tonight that trump met his deadline and paid a $9,000 fine for nine separate gag order

violations. he said while entering court today that his lawyers planned to challenge the order because they believe that it's unconstitutional. the trial will resume monday morning at 9:30 with a new witness on the stand. shannon? >> shannon: we'll await that person. thanks, live from downtown at the criminal court. there's growing concerns among democrats and progressives about president biden's responses to the israel and hamas war. two prominent members of congress said it could be the president's "vietnam." peter doocy has details. good evening, peter. >> that is why president biden is now being compared to lyndon johnson, a president who has been responsible for a lot of bills that democrats like but could see his place in history diminished by an unwinnable war. this criticism, these comparisons are coming from bernie sanders and close biden friend, jim clyburn. >> i would not be standing here

as president making these awards were it not for jim. i mean that sincerely. >> this afternoon a medal of freedom for james clyburn. a man credited for saving biden's 2020 campaign who hours ago agreed with bernie sanders who says of the biden gaza policy -- >> this may be biden's vietnam. >> it's a good argument. i never argue with history. >> white house officials bristle at the comparison. >> look, joe biden ended the longest war in american history. >> still president biden is working hard to move on. >> getting that hostage deal is so critical deal to bring hostages home. >> weeks after anti-israel protests began on campuses, the education secretary sent schools a letter. anti-semitism is discrimination and prohibited by title 6 of the civil rights act of 1964 and we stand against anti-semitism. a huge flag has been unfurled in

george washington university. >> look, protecting the american flag is admirable. i'll leave it there, peter. >> officials are defending president biden's brief remarks on the protests which described recent anti-semitism is being on par with recent islamophobia. >> does he think islamophobia is just ago big of a problem on campus as anti-semitism? >> the president is always going to call out all forms of hate. always. >> president biden is not seen eager to address the protests any further. he didn't mention them in his remarks tonight. as you can hear with marine one landing, any minute he will be off to delaware for the weekend where we don't expect to see him. shannon? >> shannon: noisy night at the white house. thanks, peter. there were more arrests today at new york area universities where anti-israel protests have been happening. alexis mcadams is at new york university tonight.

>> we have to leave. >> protesters there dismantled their encampment after officials said they they were reviewing a list of requests including ending partnerships with israel and providing scholarships for ten displaced gazan students. on the west coast, after police cleared ucla's encampment, the chancellor blamed effort to reach a peaceful agreement on counter protesters. at portland state, video shows a man nearly driving in to the crowd before jumping out, spraying what appears to be pepper spray as he ran from the scene. hundreds of demonstrators in support of israel flooded mit's campus while that counter protest was peaceful, some faculty members are frustrated with how the university is handling the pro palestinian protests. >> overall, the way it's been handled is dismal. there's no way to deal with law breakings. it's getting worse.

>> so right now the nypd remains on high alert as protests continue. no sign of slowing down. one of the main concerns, shannon, police say there could be outside agitators mixed in. i can tell you on the ground we've seen that every night. shannon? >> shannon: thanks, alexis. thanks for your reporting around the clock. stay safe. see you soon. earlier this week we reported that 44 protesters were arrested at the university of denver. however, the arrests cited occurred at the aurora campus in denver. well a weaker than expected april jobs report raised optimism over a federal reserve interest rate cuts. the dow surged 450, the s&p 500 was up 54. nasdaq jumped 315. the s&p 500 gained a half point.

>> thanks, bret. what is the premise of this book? >> the main premise is that we're already in a cold war with china. if you look at every element of this competition, we're in a flight for global supremacy for china, we have a trade war, a technology war a spy war. they're spying on us like there's no tomorrow. we have an arms race and space race. all the elements that we firsted in the first cold war are here with us again. the book is jot lining a grand strategy for how to win it. >> u.s. officials had warned taiwan for years that under no circumstances could they fire the first shot. yet, as the warning signs have gathered, the united states found itself preoccupied. the completed military build-up

with forces poised to invade, china issued an ultimatum to taipei. join the republiclyic of change on face the consequences. is that how you see it going down? >> it's very likely. the scenario i said is in 2028. the book is not fiction but we wanted to provide a realistic scenario how this could unfold and the stakes for the united states. we have never fought a nuclear power. going to war would mean risks we have never witnessed as a nation before. even if it stays convention, the casualties we experienced we haven't seen since world war ii. so we have to do whatever it takes to deter this conflict. that's what i outline in this book. >> we've seen naval drills in the philippines and the south china scene. we've seen all kinds of close

calls and different drills there. are you saying we're closer to that happening today? >> i think so. i think xi jinping is intent on taking taiwan while he's in power. he's likely to get re-elected in 2027. he will be 79 then. might be the end of his term. if he wants to do this on his watch, he's probably looking at that window of 28-32. the next four to 8 years will be very dangerous. >> all right. so here's the administration, one member of the administration. the secretary of commerce taking about china. >> we want to trade with china on the vast majority of goods and services. but on those technologies that affect our national security, no. we know they want these chips and our sophisticated technology

to advance their military. >> at the conclusion of this book, do you believe this administration is doing enough or talking tough enough when it comes to china? >> i don't. i think that the first problem that we face is we're not admitting that we're in a cold war. many of you have a problem with the first stop. it's a crucial one. once you admit you're in a cold war, you start talking about how you win it and the steps necessary for it. i'm not for decoupling from china. that's impossible. i'm for a strategy called unilateral entanglement. >> dimitri, thanks very much. the book is "world on the brink." it's an interesting read. good luck. back to you, shannon. >> shannon: all right, bret. up next, democrats are divided over anti-israel policy but hope

>> we understand how painful this moment is. you heard me say it, it's an incredibly charged time. it's a charged environment. it's very difficult because of that charged environmented. >> we saw the same thing play out in 2020 where radical leftests refused to enforce the rule of law. every student has a right to feel safe going to class. >> shannon: reaction to the ongoing protests across our campuses. brings in harold ford and co host of "the five." bill mcgurn, and charlie hurt, opinion editor for the washington times. all right, gentleman.

let's start there. nbc has this headline. nearly half of new york city arrests involve people not affiliated with schools. we hear that these are adults showing up on campus. a lot of outside agitators. >> thanks for having me on. mayor adams said it the best way on our network. some kids are being radicalized by a group of radicalized that do this for a living what is sad, there's a legitimate case to be made for humanitarian aid getting to gaza. a legitimate case to be made for those that want a two-state solution. but what is happening on these campuses, that message is not only lost but the violence, the intimidate and threats and the anti-semitism destroys that whole side of the protest. the most successful protest has been peaceful.

i was disappointed to see a congressman from new york say that he thought things on these campuses, he's encouraging more of it to happen. we shouldn't be teaching these kids and the professors out with the kids, not teaching them that protest is an important part of whom we are but peaceful protest has been the most successful protest our country has ever known. >> shannon: one of the images that we've seen in washington d.c. that made the rounds the george washington university statue draped in stickers and labelled genocide and all of these things. today we saw staff there unfurl a giant american flag in the backdrop. so we talk about sometimes staff getting involved. seems like here they're trying to in their estimate right the ship by putting the american flag back where it belongs. >> took them a long time to get the message and the idea that we should push back. i think that everything harold said, i agree with. it goes to the point that you know, the cowardess of these

university administrators. 60% of the protesters here in the city were not students. where -- what is the university doing that you have 60% of these clowns showing up at your university, protesting stuff and you're so cowardly that you're afraid to take a moral stance and say this is disgusting. hamas is still holding israeli hostages. >> shannon: and americans. >> and you can't take a stance on that? kick these punks off of a campus and they're not even a part of the campus? i do understand that there's some students genuinely kirnd about the things that harold points out. it's important to talk about these things. but you've got outside people saying hateful things. seems like an easy problem to solve. >> shannon: over at columbia law, some of the law review editors apparently were speaking

up that they want things to be delayed or cancelled. they're irrevocably shaken because of law enforcement presence on the campus. jonathan turley says this. the question is how such law students are emotionally prepared for the pressures of practice when such protests shut them down and leave them unable to focus. however, they have been educated in systems that have fostered the sense of victimization or trauma from opposing views. i do not blame the students. teachers and administrators have reinforced this view. >> he's absolutely right. look, i'm less forgiving of the students. maybe i'm less forgiving by nature. because it may have started outlets have aid to gaza, a cease fire. when the hamas flags and the chants about from the river to the sea, they knew what it was. the protest didn't shrink. they grew. the students stayed. the damage breaking in to the -- look at the graffiti at ucla.

it's absolutely appalling. they're just -- you know, we hear so much about the right to protest. what they need on campus is community rights. the right for the community to go about its business. there's so little, charlie said, the more cowardess of the universities, which is not surprising. it's a liberal progressive fight and the progressives are going to devour the liberals. >> shannon: we think of campuses as a place where you have a clash of ideas and people are testing the boundaries. the first amendment is built for that. when people are not safe on campus, i think we all agree that crosses the line. now, one of the other big stories this week,'s been sitting in the criminal trial of former president trump. i want to play from just trusty who has worked as an attorney for president trump and hope hicks taking the stand today and the conference references to

access hollywood. here's a little bit. >> they're asking her questions about how do different political figures react to the incriminating tape from mr. trump. it's like how is that admissible? how does that matter? all roads are leading back to michael cohen as the guy that has to deliver the goods for the prosecution. >> shannon: bill, i'll start with you. a lot:0 criticism about michael cohen from the prosecution and defense. he's got to be the lynchpin for this. >> it's not surprising. the journal that we said, it's a case that should have ever in been brought. those turning out to be the best advertisement for donald trump. he's persuading people that it's unfair. that's what he does. he's not fighting in court. every day he should bring a check for the judge, here's $10,000. this is the best media p.r. that i could have. he's turned it to his advantage that way. >> shannon: charlie, the cameras are all there. they're waiting for him.

>> it's so funny for four years after 2016 election, you know, cnn, msnbc, they were like fraught over how did we give this guy so much oxygen. we'll never do that again. fast forward to today. it's wall-to-wall coverage of this trial, which as bill points out is completely helping him. >> shannon: harold, his team says his find raising is going through the roof every day he's in court. >> when he walks in to court and he's add his best when he's talking about americans and the things that he wants to do. i'm not for him. but when he talks about the things he wants to do and when he leaves court, when he's with the police officers and firefighters, it's a great look. i would argue, i don't think anybody wants to be indicted. nobody wants to be in a courtroom. what doesn't appear to be happening is they're laying a glove on him legally, this is embarrassing and salacious. but if they don't draw a connection to showing to something that he was directly involved, that jury is likely to

do regardless of his name. they'll a quit him. >> shannon: they have to get him beyond the reasonable doubt. we know how we're processing this. i don't know how the jury is. we'll see. up next, the friday light round and notable quotables later. spring into savings this moving season with pods. save up to 25% now on moving and storage... and see why pods has been trusted with over 6 million moves. but don't wait, save up to 25% now. visit pods.com today. remember space? and legroom?

votes. and i think that that's the point that marjorie taylor greene is trying to make here. it's a good point that, you know, voters are in charge of the house. democrats are still running the house. it's a really bizarre situation. and i think the only way out of it is you have to pick your -- the hills that you're willing to die on. >> harold, you've been over there. you know what it's like herding cats when you have a one or two-vote majority, not a lot you can do. >> congress mirror what's is happening in society. we're a 50/50 society. i take a different view than charlie. it was a moment where you had the speaker behaving like the speaker of the house as opposed to the leader of the party. it was on one issue, fighting iran, russia and china. i'm glad democrats sided with republicans to pass that. will it happen with everything? of course not. when mitch mcconnell and chuck schumer a lined on this bill in

the senate, he said it's not personal. we just happen to agree. i don't think it's personal with republicans and mike johnson. the problem is you can't manage the place. if you can't, sometimes you need democrats to help you do it. if it's going against may marjorie taylor green and a lot of democrats feel the same way. >> new policy was partisan. >> she managed her caucus. >> she did. >> she had more than a one-vote margin. >> she had a four-vote margin. >> the small of the group can determine the outcome for the whole house. to me the obverse of the coin is what is interesting. the isolation on marjorie taylor green. two months ago a different story. now donald trump has not come out for -- a lot of reports that

he's against her. he would have let us know if he wanted speaker johnson to go down when he met with him. she's increasingly isolated even among the group out to get mccarthy. >> laura: i want to get to your winners and losers. bill? >> miloser of the week is president of columbia for obvious reasons. my winner of the week is kim jong-un who got an, u.n. sanctions member dismissed thanks to a russian veto. >> shannon: charlie? >> my winner are the frat boys at u.n.c. chapel hill who went down and protected the flag. somebody started a go fund me page. i think they wanted to raise enough money to throw a big party. they accidentally raised over $500,000, which they'll give away to charity and probably have a great party. loser of the week is joe biden. it's his worst week since afghanistan withdrawal. polls are in the toilet. he still has foot and mouth

disease. every time he opens his mouth. the college protests are terrible for him. >> shannon: harold? >> i like your winner. my winners are the knicks beating the sixers going to play the pacers. milosers are those that believe that violence and hate is protected by the first amendment. they're not. >> shannon: heated spirited conversation. it is friday. time for notable quotables. >> none of this is a peaceful protest. >> have the protests forced you to reconsider your policy? >> no. >> we cannot support a major military operation in rafha. >> usa!

>> there's a go fund me for them to throw them a "rager." that is now raised over $120,000. >> that's a lot of kegs. >> i have to do my job. i have to do what we believe to be the right thing. >> now we have hakeem jeffries and the democrats coming out, embracing mike johnson with a big wet sloppy kiss. >> you know jimmy carter is out there thinking, i could maybe win this thing. >> i perform much, much better against president trump than president biden does. >> he's not a serious candidate. they say he hurts biden. i don't know who he hurts. he might hurt me. >> my vice president endorses me. >> this is a working dog. it was not a puppy. >> good thing you're not a cricket. >> oh, boy. i have a feeling the panelists when are all making noises in response to that have things to say. monday on report report, this weekend's major donor event for

the president's campaign could be a job audition for his running made. the big names will be there. i have a an exclusive on "fox news sunday." remember, if you can't catch us live, set your dvr. 6:00 p.m., 3:00 on the west coast. thanks for watching "special report." i'm shannon bream in new york.
