11:02 am
damage. now, a stronger storm system is taking aim at the same region right now, a tornado watch has been issued for 1.5 million people people across eastern kansas and southeast nebraska. where they are bracing for tornadoes, tennis, ball-sized hail, and damaging winds. there were reports about 80 reports of tornadoes across five states on friday, including this one in lincoln, nebraska. and despite the large scale of destruction near omaha, there are no fatalities reported. now, rescue crews are up against the clock searching flattened homes for any one potentially trapped before more storms roll in for the latest noun joined by cnn's lucy kavanaugh in hard-hit elkhorn, nebraska and meteorologist elisa raffa, who is tracking all of this in the cnn weather center. lucy to you first, what are you hearing from residents? >> well, fread a lot of disbelief.
11:03 am
>> people still trying to grapple with the reality of losing a lot of their homes again, like you mentioned, elkhorn is one of the hardest hit areas i want to show you that house right there where there are some families we spoke to the owners of that home. there was a mother and her tile they were home they heard the sirens, they ran into the basement, they sheltered in place. and when they emerged, conceive so much of that home destroyed the vehicles unusable right now, the sister and brother-in-law and some other friends and neighbors came by to help what they are trying to do and what we've been observed serving them, do is sort of pack up whatever belongings were salvageable tried to pack that in, take that to a safer place. of course, a lot of these folks are gonna have to figure out where to stay while the rebuilding process takes place. but it is too soon to get them and some of the folks we spoken to said, we have no idea where we're gonna go this home, we were not able to speak to the owners, but you can see again, the force of that twister, a touchdown yesterday at 4:30 p.m. local time. the
11:04 am
house some of it is still standing, but that car trapped inside there. a lot of these homes are newer construction, built around 2022 they didn't do so well in this particular area. >> i want to also show you down the street. >> there are a lot of volunteers that's the homeowners, but also volunteers, neighbors from areas that weathered the twisters better, who are here to help they are doing cleanup efforts right now. they're again trying to salvage whatever is usable for the families. we haven't seen cleanup crews, official cleanup crews on site, but we know that first responders were here checking for anyone that might have been trapped in the home, clearing the home death with some that graffiti is all about and that home right there. we were able to speak to the homeowner. we talked about her a few hours ago they you know, they've lived in this area for a while. they've never actually lived through a twister before. and so when that siren went off, one of the
11:05 am
homeowners were saying a relative of her start, the siren meant to run outside for safety. they had to they had to pull them other backend, but it was a terrifying experience trying to hide in the basement of weather, the storm take a listen to some sound from another survivor who experienced it we got home as fast as we could i got my babies in the basement. >> we covered up with a blanco. >> we got her dark down there all of a sudden the lights went out and we heard everything being thrown around above us those carry scary. i those carried our neighbors everybody, everyone's houses. are there they're gone so much emotion in that experience now, nebraska law enforcement officials say only two people suffered minor injuries at this point, but we are expecting a press our from all of the
11:06 am
agency's on the ground here at about 3pm local time. so we'll keep you posted okay. please do. i mean, it's absolutely incredible. i just look good. >> like a really messy construction site, just given a wall up here and there and just plywood and debris just strewn about everywhere. >> lucy cabin up. we'll check back with you momentarily. elisa, it is day two of severe weather in this area. there's more potentially on the way yeah. >> i mean, some of the same areas that were here yesterday could find shrunk thunderstorms again for right now, the tornado watches or south of there over parts of kansas and oklahoma. that's where storms are blowing up right now. now, i'm showing you this watch that was just issued for parts of oklahoma just to the west there of oklahoma city. this watch has a tag that we call particularly dangerous situation. so it's not just a tornado watches as a tornado watch for incredibly strong tornadoes. so it's got that extra layer of urgency that people need to really take
11:07 am
these storms very seriously right now. no tornado warnings, but we do have a bunch of severe thunderstorm warnings as some of these storms do blow up with the damaging winds and large hail, this is the risk for today, a level four out of five moderate risks there in the red, where we could find a strong tornadoes, tennis ball-sized hail damaging wind, just the wording, just incredibly strong in this hatched red area here from tulsa, oklahoma city, to wichita falls. that's where we could fry tornadoes in excess of e, f three or greater. that is incredibly strong, that is severe, that's like some of the damage we saw yesterday with winds over 130 miles per hour. so again, these are very intense storms. another new updates since we were with you last hour is we now have a high excessive rain risk also four parts of oklahoma, just ether of oklahoma city. this is another thing that is very rare. it's only issued 4% of the time, but it's responsible for 40% of our flood related deaths, 80% of our flood related damages. so a lot of
11:08 am
hazards here. >> and again, this is just an incredibly rare in an incredibly serious situation. yeah, is unbelievable. >> all right. elisa raffa. thank you so much. lucy cabin off as well all right. >> for more now, on the impact in nebraska and joined by omaha police chief, todd schmaderer chief great to see you so a humming. what has your department? been through so far in this aftermath tell you what it's been. >> it's been a long day, but we're very happy with the way things turned out, omaha. omaha metropolitan areas, over 1 million population. >> and we had some severe tornadoes hit us and numerous spots. and that the damage has been immense, but the amazing part of but is no one has been seriously injured. >> nobody has been killed are warning systems here in omaha and douglas county really worked to perfection. so we had a good warning and everybody got to shelter. >> i mean, what a monster twister that we're seeing right now. it is miraculous no
11:09 am
fatalities, no injuries which is what you just said. now, what about individuals trapped? we heard from other folks who had gone to their basements and some to emerge to see just all the debris on top, listening to the destruction as it was happening. what are the efforts like to look for anyone who may be trapped? >> we spent almost the entire night trying to go house by house because the house was were leveled. >> we had to be sure nobody was trapped underneath there we feel we've hit every house up to this point and we have yet to come up with anything that has concerned us. >> we haven't found anybody trapped or deceased as so at this point, we still have some areas that we're trying to unturned and we're gonna get to that. >> we're also looking at potentially another storm here that's going to hit omaha again tonight. so that may delay some of our cleanup and our rescue efforts. how do you prepare for the next stop? form
11:10 am
well, we have our infrastructure in place. >> we've called an extra officers from yesterday to work on things that we have some people on standby working very closely with our partners. and of course, the omah fire department has been tremendous and all this. so if we get another wave, we will be prepared i'm hoping that we can get out of this of a ton of clean up, a lot of displaced families and a lot of clean and a lot of things we need to do an omaha to get us back up and running to false we're hearing a lot from people who survived all of this talk about neighbors helping neighbors numbers. >> how can people stay safe? because after disasters like this, their nails, there are shredded pieces of plywood. there are a lot of dangerous twisted metal in debris sites like this. what are you telling people as they tried to help one another?
11:11 am
>> right? right now, we don't have any volunteer efforts going on. >> we're not coordinated in any. >> we think it's just safer for the the professional entities go in right now because of the downed power lines, because of the dangerous hazards that you just mentioned. now, as far as what can everybody do for this next, next wave? everything that took place the first time talking with you neighbors, getting to know them. a lot of people would would tell me stories about being out on the street, watch in the storm from a distance and then listening to the radio. and as i got closer, they all ran to their basements be in communication with your neighbors that there you're there, you're first line of defense and you are there's and we've learned that and omaha to a high level, not only with this, but some things in the past that we've had. and i think that can be replicated to other cities, your neighbors, or your first line of defense and you are there as well. >> all right. omaha police chief, todd schmaderer. thank you so much. all the best on your continued efforts thank
11:12 am
you very much. >> all the best to you as well. >> thank you. >> and this just dan, we're getting word of more arrests as pro-palestinian protests consumed college campuses across the country, police in arizona state say they arrested 69 people for trespassing, according to the school, most of the people were not asu students, faculty, or staff and had created an on authorized encampment and developments also at northeastern university in boston, school officials say all campus operations have now returned to normal. this morning, police detained about 100 people protesting to end the war in gaza. and in a statement, northeastern official said, they believe to professional organizers had joined the ranks of student protesters there in washington dc. protests are remaining peaceful at george washington university. demonstrators are blocking a street as they camp out on campus and police remain in the area. we'll keep monitoring the events let's go now to cnn's a rafael romo

11:14 am
that the administration called the atlanta police. they cannot come to campus without an invitations. far as i know, they were invited to campus they did their job which was to holloway all the demonstrators, you clear off the campus of all signs of protest but what they shouldn't have been doing that job because the president should not have called them to come do that job. >> an emory university president, gregory famous, issued a statement the day after the clashes, femto said that it is okay for students to voice their opinions and to protest however, he said, we will not tolerate vandalism violence, or any attempt to disrupt our campus through the construction of encompass. these actions are counter to our values and they disrupt the core purpose of the university and its educational and research misha's we just had somebody just dropped by us yelling free palestine, and

11:20 am
>> xi's new gift mode. >> all right, done not to do four more who would get i'm natasha bertrand at the pentagon and this is cnn the first week of former president trump's criminal hush money trial saw three key witnesses testify. >> former tabloid publisher and longtime trump friend david pecker, wrapped up more than ten hours of testimony. jurors also heard from trump's former longtime personal assistant rhona graff, as well as michael cohen's banker, who arranged his home equity line of credit, which cohen used to pay stormy daniels $130,000 in hush money. cnn's paula reid has more so we have another day or or freezing courthouse. it's very cold. the former president donald trump's still not warming up to the reality of being on trial in the new york
11:21 am
hush money case. >> today in court, david pecker, the former publisher of the national enquirer, was back on the witness stand, tying pecker is non-prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors to an agreement he made to sell the national enquirer ideal contingent on the investigation into his company being resolved from a timing standpoint, it would have added onto the stress of the transaction. pecker testified they also tried to show how pecker had other reasons since beyond just helping trump win the white house for running negative stories about trump's opponents. pecker testified that his magazine ran stories about bill and hillary clinton prior to the 2015 trump tower meeting were an agreement to help trump was allegedly breached running those stories was beneficial to ami pecker testified after his testimony wrapped up, prosecutors used the last few hours of the de to call two additional witnesses. the first was trump's longtime assistant, rhona. >> let me add the cost rhona
11:22 am
graff was a fixture in trump's office for decades. she testified how before trump became president and she was his gatekeeper, keeping close track of his contacts, emails, phone calls, and meetings. >> she told the jury it was a very stimulating, exciting, fascinating place to be court is not in session on monday, but the trial will resume on tuesday. likely wrapping up a banking associate who work closely with michael cohen to build the shell company that he used to pay stormy daniels. and then it's unclear who the prosecution's and next big witness will be. paula reid, cnn, new york are joining me right now to talk more about this trial is jeff swartz. he has a former judge in florida and a law professor at the tampa campus for the thomas m. cooley law school. great to see you again, judge thank you. >> it's nice to see you, too. >> correct. so how do you assess the impact of the testimony from david pecker,
11:23 am
the first witness who took the stand for four days this week in the trial i think david pecker was an outstanding choice for the first witness. his the stage and he set the whole scheme up for the jury and he was really very good on cross-examination. i don't think that he actually got impeached in any really serious way. i think that people are going to look at his testimony and start building around it. i think the jury paid attention to them from all accounts. they pay very close attention to him. and i think he was incredibly credible. and i think that that really went along way for the prosecution. >> but during cross-examination of pecker trump's attorneys did try to punch holes in his credibility, were they at all successful at that very little that one exchange that we just heard about where he said, yes, i did things about hillary and and bill clinton before 2015.
11:24 am
>> their problem homes were in fact good for business for ami. but when it got really intense, when it was really down to trump and hillary who were running for president. things got really intense at ami and they ran a lot of stories beyond what they use to run i think that that became pretty clear too, that this was part of what needed to be done to help the campaign and then what a prosecutors need to do next as a try to make the case to the jury that trump falsified business records to cover up the hush money payment well, they've started working on that they started by bringing in a records keeper, a banker who's now going to present records involving michael cohen and the way money came in, and the way money went out and the loans that were taken, they brought in rhona and she she did more than just testify for the prosecution and set the stage again for the visits from
11:25 am
mr. pecker, from michael cohen, his access to the former president she was in fact the gatekeeper. >> you didn't get in, you didn't get to talk to donald trump unless she went through rhona and that's really important and that's what her testimony was set to bring out. i think the next step that they're going to have to do is they're going to have to start dealing with more of the records to help with michael cohen and i think that they're also going to start bringing in other people who work basically on the campaign to set this stage again for what mr. trump's attitude was and his anger that he exhibited, and his fear of things coming out as it related to the campaign and the discussions that took place relating to the campaign. that sets the stage for michael cohen to finish it off. >> okay. >> and the form for president is saying that hill testify in the hush money trial, you know, quotes. if it's necessary. do
11:26 am
you think i know it's laughable as it really? >> sorry, i shouldn't do that, but i can't help. it. that's going around too long. >> i think people are rather skeptical of him saying that because they're only his attorneys would not want him to testify, right no. no, there's not one defense attorney in the world who would want him to testify. he's a loose cannon. he can't hold his temper. he will say things that he shouldn't say. he thinks he can talk his way out of trouble. >> my experience as a defense attorney might experience grants as a judge that i have never seen a defendant talk their way out of trouble, that includes lawyers that have tried to talk their way out of trouble. >> he can't do this. and if he does, it will be against every single lawyer that's ever advised him. >> all right. >> judge. jeff swartz good to see you. thanks so much. >> have a nice day all right. >> coming up pro-palestinian protests escalated on college

11:32 am
couple of weeks, i think we've seen the administration of the university of southern california really just fill us in multiple ways. i mean, it started with it was an invitation extended to asna tabassum, who is an amazing scholar, a young scholar who minored in resistance to genocide and the university invited her to give the valedictory address and then it rescinded that invitation and the rescinded that invitation without clear communication, it made sort of vague claims about safety. it did not involve faculty or anybody else in short of taking measures to try to protect her speech? each so it canceled her and it didn't do that in a very, very good way. >> but then it escalated from there. >> then people were upset, they were unhappy, they protested and it culminated in this moment on wednesday, especially when peaceful protesters were at the university expressing their speech rights and doing all the things that we ask our students to do, which is to think critically think in ways
11:33 am
that can change situations and change the world. we train them to do all of these things. we want them to be engaged and passionate citizens who are taking care of their world. >> and then the university invited the lapd end to escalate the situation to turn the campus into this honestly very militarized zone. >> and we saw the aftermath of that in terms of students being arrested, faculty being arrested people being injured, there was a rubber bullet that was fired at students, students of mine or even student journalists displaying press badges we just saw an escalation by the university. they they did not de-escalate the situation. they did not figure out how to take an uncomfortable moment and turn it into a teachable moment so i think really failed so in addition to the muslim valedictorian and her speech being canceled, now there will be no in-person commencement ceremony there on the university of southern
11:34 am
california campus. >> and this is the same student body that missed out on a lot during covid, right? i mean, many graduated from high school, didn't get to have prom, didn't have person to person contact, didn't didn't get an opportunity to walk. and now for another reason, they're not getting the opportunity to walk. and you mentioned how this really could have been a teachable moment. so how does campus, i guess strike a balance of promoting and ensuring safety to everyone? at the same time, encouraging civil discourse, a place where students, faculty, staff, can speak their mind and do so by making sure that everyone feels safe about it. how do you make this a teachable? how should this have been made a more teachable moment in your view absolutely honestly, the one big thing i would say is rely
11:35 am
on the students and the faculty that you have trusted over the years that you have told are these incredible communicators and critical thinkers i spent most of yesterday afternoon at the protests at usc and i spoke with faculty. >> i spoke with students and i'm going to say i was overwhelmed and heartened by the sophistication, the care the gentleness to creativity of the people that i spoke with there who were very aware that these are not easy conversations to have. >> there is no simple, easy answer to do. to take here. but this is a moment when you pause, you speak precisely, you listen generously. you trust in the community and the culture that you've built and there will be uncomfortable moments, there will be moments when people don't feel like they belong. that is, that is going to happen, but that is a very, very different context than moments that the lapd to campus. and that actually create violence. so i would say the university needs to trust
11:36 am
it. students trust its faculty to do the work that we know how to do. we know how to have these conversations. let us have them in a statement about the cancelation. >> the university president carol folt said, i'm quoting now this week alumni park became unsafe. no one wants to have people arrested on their campus ever. but when long-standing safety policies are flagrantly violated, buildings vandalized dps directives repeatedly ignored, threatening language, shouted, people assaulted, and access to critical academic buildings blocked we must act immediately to protect our community. so that is a statement coming from the president. this had to be very difficult decision for her to make. has she said anything about your open letter or you're feeling about not being able to trust the school president i've received no
11:37 am
reply from the school president letter, and honestly, i don't expect one necessarily. >> and i would also sincerely dispute her representation of the events that happened and on-campus, we have what money eyewitness account the sense that there was the campus was an unsafe environment or that that it was a place that needed to be militarized and needed to have the lapd called out in riot gear with non-lethal weapons, with zip ties that there was a massive overreach. so i think that her characterization of the situation does not match the response that her administration took. we have multiple faculty, multiple students, multiple news organizations, including our student journalists. it's the la times. many people characterize much that situation, not in the same way that she did. and i think we have to be very careful in this its moment not to accept the university leadership's characterization because there's a real danger of the narrative of this being taken
11:38 am
away and being misrepresented. and i want to be crystal clear yes. there were absolutely moments that i'm sure we're we're debatable, uncomfortable that we're not okay. the way that you would want the university to operate regularly? i do not condone violence in the slightest but i would say that the universities response to it actually exacerbated the problem. it escalated the problem it made the problem worse. and that's what i would say is that real big failure here. >> all right. mike ananny, associate professor of communications and journalism at usc. thank you so much for your time and candor and being with us today thank you. coming up. >> good president biden the former president donald trump finally be inching closer to the debate stage riyad saves. new album is breaking records
