>> it can.com cnn this morning with kasie hunt next it's monday, april 29, right now on cnn this morning protesters disrupting campuses from posted coste demanding schools cut ties with israel as police start cracking down. >> president biden delivering a warning to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu about his plans to invade rafah and a tornado outbreak in oklahoma four people killed and millions from texas to missouri. now in the path of deadly storms right 5:00 a.m. here in washington alive. >> look at the nation's capital on this monday morning. good morning, everyone. >> it's wonderful to have you with us protests against the war in gaza, expanding across the country today after a weekend with more unrest, heavy police activity reported on virginia tech's campus last

night. as officers worked to remove protesters from an encampment demonstrators began to occupy a campus lawn on friday and by sunday the university said the situation had progressed and had the potential to become unsafe meanwhile, police in riot gear were called to the ucla campus yesterday after demonstrators breached a security barrier that was meant to keep opposing protest groups apart tufts university in boston, threatening to cancel their commencement ceremony if a protest encampment is not removed, university staff are expected to reach out to protesters today and here in washington with president biden in attendance, a sizable protest outside the white house correspondents dinner in dc on saturday night these scenes do present a political challenge for president biden's reelection bid and a new cnn poll, 60% say they disapprove of how biden is handling his job overall. and this issue weighing him down, his handling of the war in gaza, just 28% say they approve of that 71%

disapprove that includes 81 in percent disapproval among people aged 18 to 35 still only 26% say that this issue is extremely important. compare that to others at the top of the list meanwhile, and head-to-head match up with president biden. donald trump leaves the president 49% of 43%. that's not a significant change from cnn's last national poll, which was conducted in january and joining now to discuss marianna alfaro, national politics breaking news reporter for the washington post. marianna good morning to you these obviously have been these protests have been getting more intense. the challenges and clashes between university administrators and the protesters also intensifying how is this issue, how is the white house looking at this issue as they try to figure out where where it falls in in terms of what they have to deal with as the president runs his reelection campaign. >> i mean, there's been a lot of calls from the white house to say that these protests must

remain peaceful, that there, you know has to be a way to continue having this discourse without getting violent. but i think what we've seen so far is this very strong police crackdown on a lot of these campuses. and i think that even if you know, it's something whitehouse calling in, all of these officers to come into these camps and go after these students. i think that that is creating this image that you know, the the police, the government run doj is trying to come after these students and i think that that's not really going to help him among the youth, but even then there's still push by the white house to say we are trying to do our job. we respect free speech, but also we don't want to veer into violence or antisemitism. and it's really hard to messaging for biden here, especially because again, not much has changed and what's going on over there in gaza. so well, i mean, in the other, the other reality here that i keep coming back to two for for president biden, is that at the end of the day? hey the election is going to be basically a binary choice. and is in fact joe biden going to be that much is donald trump going to be better than joe

biden on this for some of these young people, i mean, i got full i think, but i guess we'll find out. let's look. it's nco. what john kirby, spokesman for the president had to say about this over the weekend, watch the president knows that there are very strong feelings. >> georgia about the war in gaza. he understands that. he respects that. and it has, he has said many times we certainly respect the right of peaceful protests. people should have the ability to air their views and to share their perspective objectives publicly. but it has to be peaceful. >> and we'll leave it to local authorities to determine how these protests were managed. >> but we want them to be peaceful protests and of. course this has been up to local authorities at basically in each administration at trying to decide, but i think one of the big challenges too, is the places where they veer into anti-semitism, right? and you saw there were some video they're of a woman wrapped in an israeli flag being yelled at, confronted by the protesters. those kinds of

scenes, the potential risk making these up blow up into confrontations. what is your sense of how much of this is kinda organic to each campus versus how much of this is coordinated nationwide it really depends. >> i think i've been seeing a lot of coverage from my own campus or with leicester university and there's a lot of this grassroots formations on the during matter. what? which is our big area there that is organic institute and pro-palestine sun is showing up there. and then there was a counterprotest datum. a lot of the jewish groups on campus said we didn't plan this. we were not the ones that scheduled. this is like a national organization. they're saying national organization did it so again, it's that thing where like the transparency is a little unclear and i think even then, like some groups were saying, we don't want to take credit for this. we really want to continue having these people four stations and the agitation is not something that we're looking for when it comes to young voters. i mean, there's other issues obviously on the table for them, including student loan debt, which people seem to approve up more than this, but still are in negative is handling of health care policy, 45%. his handling of

student loan debt, 44%. i mean, what else can biden do to try and reach out to young voters? >> i mean, there is a hope i think amongst a lot of democratic strategists summer is coming up on the campus. they're going to clear out maybe that'll mean that these protests are gone and/or maybe they quiet down a little bit. that's the hope we don't see that yet. but then they can count doubled down on those. biden has done so much. an xyz form to do the student loans and lower them. and there's also the issue of abortion that that's what democrats are really banking on. they can help get them the youth vote, but again the summer is coming up and we don't really see this toning down. so certainly the administration at these campuses is just trying to get through commencements and hoping it kind of goes away quickly. rfk jr. who is running as an independent, was on bill maher real time with bill maher over the weekend and i was asked about and pushed about what he's gonna be on the ballot. >> on the ballot and three states. may aren't you? yeah, that's a different question. >> well, that's a path you've

gotta be. i'm going to be on the ballot i'm going to out i'm going to you're gonna be on the ballot. i can guarantee you. i will be on the ballot in every state really very, very quickly. there's news while of course the challenge is that rfk jr. does not have any problems simply saying things that are not true unlikely. >> he's gonna be on the ballot in all 50 states, but he is on the ballot and some critical places he isn't about that and places where you don't even 3% of the vote could make a big difference. and i'm looking sync seeds like michigan, those are places where you can't lose 4,000, 5,000 votes of your joe biden or donald trump. so again, it really depends to see where he's really pulling all of these supporters from. but those are the key states where he really risks hurting one of the candidates on the general election. >> again, the question who he pulls trauma, it seems like increasingly it maybe donald trump and not joe biden, but i miss, we'll find out where on alfaro. thank you very much for being with us this morning aren't up next here, reigning in israel, a readout from a sunday phone call between president biden and israel's prime minister, lost

in place, and we are still working at that hamas has not fully rejected it. they are considering this proposal on the table. if we can get that in place, then that gives you six weeks of peace. it gives you no fighting for six weeks and that includes no fighting in rafah cnn's max foster is live for us in london at max. good morning. always good to see you. >> rafah, of course, is critical to all of this. and on sunday, biden reiterated, we are told his clear position that israel must have a plan here to try to avoid this. what do you see here? sure. in terms of the any shifts from the israelis in terms of how they are willing or not to make this ceasefire last longer in exchange for the hostages well, not going to bass policy from the palestinian authority has said that america is the only country that can block this invasion of raffa. >> i think the question fancy blinken whilst his, there is just getting a better sense, really of what that invasion

might look like. and being able to what the plan is really to protect the civilians because no one really has a proper sense of this. and if americans didn't have a proper sense of it, is a problem because it will need american support, of course, to be able to do that. and it plays into a much wider conversation about how to handle this in tayr war. so i think if antony blinken, it's how do you protect the civilians? if you're going to go in and that's a really hard thing to to answer because inevitably there will be casualties when it's such a densely populated area with a lot of gaza currently relocated that yeah, maxar was a column from a thomas friedman and the times over the weekend. he of course, longtime mideast bureau chief for the times. very, very knowledgeable about the region, basically saying that israel has to choose between going into rafah or making some sort of security agreement with riyadh with saudi arabia that could potentially mean in that their long-term security is in a different place than it might

be otherwise. >> what do you make of that decision that israel has to make to continue to kind of go it alone or try to resurrect what was an emerging security framework in the region before october 7, well, there is going to be have to be a planned for after all of this and saudi arabia will be involved in it. >> and i'm sure israel accepts that and lord people in the government would accept that. and they've got a lot to contribute here. the question is, when do you deal with that gdb up to without before raffa which is part of the israeli strategy to defeat hamas. they say they have to go into rather in order to get, to get to those remaining pockets of hamas and i think it's short-term versus long-term. they're very much focused on the short-term defeating hamas. that's the priority along with getting the hostages out. so i think those conversations are serious, obviously, involving saudi arabia, but whether they happen now, i'm not is a different good question, but i'm sure antony blinken will bring be bringing that message very firmly to israel after his visit to riyadh, which is

ongoing as we speak, yeah, well, maxwell speaking of that, we just do have this just in from tony blinken. >> he did say that there has been measurable progress in getting aid to gaza. that's a quote. but that it's not enough to address the humanitarian crisis. and this of course, comes also, as there's a headline, new york times this morning that the top israeli officials are bracing for possible arrest warrants from the hague they're about blocking humanitarian aid. i mean, at what point is there so much pressure on israeli officials? this is this is the part that i can't get my head around like they could israel could be doing more to allow more humanitarian, more food aid in gaza. and so far, they have not done enough, at least not in the view of many in the international community. >> yeah, i miss a problem for the international community because we've seen palestinian protests haven't we, in the across europe in a lot of these allied countries to israel and all this pressure is mounting on allied governments. and if they can't answer why the very

minimum amount of aid isn't getting into gaza it's a problem. they're seen as weak and they're not using their leverage. and away from how to resolve the war. the one priority for so many protesters is just to get food to people in gaza is a big problem. and europe and america are putting as much pressure on israel as they can and they're not making as much progress as they want as antony blinken has been describing, one of the reasons why america is taking it in from the sea. of course. >> all right. max foster for us in london. max always grateful to see you. thank you very much. >> all right. coming up next here nearly two dozen deadly tornadoes sweeping across the midwest, plus the support that student protesters are getting from lawmakers and this brad nine straight taylor swift adding another number one to her name with tortured poets

exists and his growing the united states, that is pot, that exist among some people in the protest movement. >> of course but here is the reality right now, what net right-wing extremist and racist government is doing, is unprecedented in the modern history of warfare, right now we are looking at the possibility of mass starvation and famine in gaza when you make those charges, that is not anti symmetric, that is a reality are with me now white house reporter for the wall street journal, catherine lucy, and congressional reporter with axios, steven newcomb. >> good morning to you both. thank you so much for being here. catherine, let me start with you. and this sort of the new polling that we have here in to cnn, which shows that this is a pretty the dramatic for biden. this is the approval of bible handling of the war between israel and hamas. and if you look at that not only

19% of people ages 18 to 34 approve of it. this is challenging for him. i will also say it's not necessarily and this is what the white house will say when you talk to them. the top of mind issue for voters, right? 26% say it's extremely important versus 65% on the economy, 58% on protecting democracy, et cetera. but that said, i mean, what's happening on these college campuses is really kind of crystallizing the issue right now for the administration. >> yes, it is a top of mind issue for some young voters which this is the biggest problem. and you are hearing this a lot from them. the protests as you go into states like michigan, wisconsin, where there are big universities and it doesn't take that many of those voters just decide to stay home. i made it's a real concern. i think the campaign is less that these younger voters will necessarily go to trump on this issue, but that they might just decide not to vote or vote third party. and i mean, we've seen before wisconsin, for example, is a state that turns on a really small number of votes so that is a real issue for them. >> yeah, michigan as well as another one at stephen, what do

you hear from members of congressman obviously heard bernie sanders. there, well known as a progressive, i kind of anti-war of voice. he did use the word racist to apply to israel, which i think stuck out to me a little bit. but this has also become very emotional inside the democratic party with people on either side of this what are you picking up in the halls? >> sure. i think the important thing to remember is that in the background sort of percolating behind this dialogue about the protests is deep democratic frustrations about netanyahu's government and humanitarian crisis in gaza so there's a balancing act, right? for a lot of democrats against trying to confront the protests and what's going on college campuses, but also the reality that they are very deeply frustrated with the situation in gaza and israel's plans moving forward yeah. catherine, you obviously mentioned that this is very important issue for young voters, true? but another important issue that's important to them the biden menstruation hopes may take precedence, is abortion rights, which i know. you wrote about

recently in the wall street journal and you say that biden, who was once reluctant to talk about abortion, is now sharing the microphone with women in battleground states this was the subject of a joke at the widest response dinner over the weekend where comedian colin jost basically said, well, the 81 year-old catholic as the one backing abortion rights here as compared to donald trump, who of course was a new yorker with a slightly different, a profile on this issue earlier in his career. anyway. >> but you did a lot of reporting here about how the campaign is approaching this right now, would you learn? yeah, so this story really looked closely at some of the surrogates they're tapping to talk about this issue. obviously, biden is talking about it more. he was in florida last week on this. we're going to hear from him. but one key thing they are doing is they are reaching out to and working with women who are telling stories, what they say are really tragic pregnancy situations in states with really restrictive abortion laws. and you've seen some of them talk about this. there was an ad that came out with one woman talking about what happened when she had a

non-viable pregnancy late in her pregnancy in about 18 weeks in texas and then couldn't immediately get induction abortion. and kinda what that have all that experience was like. that's an ad they put out. they've been out campaigning individually. they're out at biden with events. and the way the campaign really sees this is it's a way to humanize this story. it's very personal, it's these women talking about, you're really harrowing, difficult things to try and explain what their experience has been like in states but these restrictions are happening and they say you see this as a way to bring home to voters what happens in states with these kinds of laws? >> yeah, well, in this, steven quickly is not something that mean for a lot of republicans who the places where the majority is going to be decided, swing districts, right this is something that frankly now republicans are the ones that don't want to talk about it. >> yeah, the problem is, is that many of them in many cases have been on record on for decades, being pro restriction

of abortion rights. and obviously that conversation is changing especially in places like arizona, texas, as well. so yeah, it's a tough line to walk when you're on that sort of life begins conception. bill, when roe versus wade stood, there were not any political consequences to that, but now it's defining it in opposition sometimes in these tragic cases to the life of the mother is very tricky place to be. wall street journal reporter, catherine lucy axios, steven newcomb. thank you guys both very much. i really appreciate it. >> all right. there in court is not in session today in donald trump's hush money trial on friday, the defense finished its cross-examination of the former tabloid publisher david pecker. >> things wrapped up with banker gary farro on the stand. he's going to continue testimony when the trial resumes tomorrow. >> he is expected to walk the jury through the paperwork tied to a home equity what do you line of credit that michael cohen took out on his personal property to front the hush money payment to adult film star stormy daniels, even with a brief break in the trial, the former president's legal proceedings were hot topic during the weekends.

>> white house correspondents, dinner but before i begin tonight, can we just acknowledge how refreshing it is to see a president of the united states and an event that doesn't begin with a bailiff saying, all rise joining me now to discuss former january 6 investigative counsel marked as children's marcus. >> good morning. good morning to you. >> so what let's just kind of set the stage here. what did we learn from the testimony that we saw last week from david pecker and what is the next turn of the screw here? >> david pecker was an incredible witness in my opinion for the prosecution because he established a timeline for the entire conspiracy going back to the august 2015 trump tower meeting, all the way through 2017 when trump was in the white house. so we start with the catch and kill scheme, establishes the payments to karen mcdougal and doorman, he talks about why he was uncomfortable making a payment to stormy daniels because she was a porn star and then establishes that michael cohen in december comes to david pecker and says, hey, i hope

that the boss pays me right? and then david pecker went to trump and talked about paying michael cohen. so he establishes a lot of key facts in a way that now michael cohen and others will be filling in that timeline rather than relying on michael cohen to establish an entire timeline. because as we've discussed, cohen has a series of credibility issues at hand. >> so a big part of it just making sure other people are going to corroborate what he has to say. >> this the banker that is now on the stand, i think it's interesting to me because it establishes like how significant of an issue this was for cohen and by extension trump, i mean, taking out a home equity line of credit on your own house to try and make this problem go away it seems like a very significant move on colin's park and you when these cases in the paperwork because it establishes that timeline even further now you have dates of documents signed by the bank that fill in that time. even more. speaking of dates, but october 7 of 2016 is

when the access hollywood tape came out and we know that ami first alerted the trump campaign on michael cohen, in particular, on about october we're tenth of the stormy daniels case, and this is important because the testimony i think is going to show that the trump campaign started panicking out of the access hollywood tapes. then you have this new meeting with stormy daniels, october 10, and i expect that this bank officials going to talk about michael cohen taking out a home equity line between october 10 and probably october 27th, when the paint was ultimately made to stormy daniels this is important to show that it wasn't because the payment wasn't because donald trump was embarrassed about stormy daniels, but more so because he was worried about the hit to the campaign. and this is important for proving up the falsification of business records from a misdemeanor to that felony charge, which is really important for alvin bragg's team. >> yeah, really, really interesting. let's talk briefly about the gag order quarter as well at bill barr, the former attorney general, had this to say about it. watch well, i personally think it is the gag order could be two broad here but i think trump's and i've

said this before. >> i think trump basically has the kind of personality that he's always testing. the limit is always going further and further something we've experienced here as it covering him in washington. >> what is your sense of how the judge is going to decide on this? and do you see a distinction between anonymous people that are part of this case? the jury, family members court staff, and michael cohen, who clearly has a very large public profile. >> i mean, i think the judge is going to take his time to make a ruling as long as donald trump's words are not materially impacting witnesses that are taking a stand or jurors expressing fear, like i've seen firsthand, the fear that donald trump's words on social media can cause the witnesses coming to testify and so the court can't take this lightly, contrary to what mr. barges said. but i think the court is going to take its time because they know that donald trump's going to appeal whatever ruling comes down in this case, including every order that the courts submits. and so i think the judge is really going to try to be patient to extend this ruling

out as long as he can and only act winning necessarily has to, when you have as the record that's bulletproof to make this decision because he no, donald trump will appeal it. >> indeed. all right. market shoulders forces morning mark, it's great to have you thanks for being here all right. >> coming up next, how vice president harris was trying to mobilize black voters ahead of the november election and the head coach of the minnesota timberwolves the court, after a player crashes into him, bleacher report's next sunday story one of the world's most diverse ecosystems, eigen watson confronts the stark reality of climate change to fight for us. >> the whole story with anderson cooper sunday at eight on cnn verizon small business days are here april 22 to the 28 get a free tech check and special offers, like a free 5g phone. >> when you switch so trade-in require partner with our experts today 10,000.

>> by next month, i or we won't know unless we try right? how long have we waited for something like this will have to alert suppliers, coordinate shipments already alerted, already coordinated, every supplier sees changes as they happen. >> since then, can we scale up mid-cycle since we brought in vdo people who know no vdo the last thing i want to worry about when starting my day is stiff uncomfortable scrubs. >> that's why i say if i bled, they already make the best active wear. so of course there's goes are lightly and flexible. they're also wrinkle and fade resistance. so little have you looking fresh, shift after shifts and the best part you can get your first stroke set for just $19 when you sign up as a new vip for that price, why wouldn't you want to give them a try? >> well, i track my subscription seen spreadsheets

states with large black populations. her first stop is today in atlanta, then she's headed to detroit next week. join me out of i'm kinda congressman steven horsford. he is the chair of the congressional black caucus congressman. thanks so much for being here so obviously, there has been a lot of focus in the media about on black voters, particularly black men, who seemed to be showing that they're more interested in donald trump than they were previously. >> and that there is potentially some shift there. how do you explain that and how do your efforts how are they targeted at trying to fix that well, as a black man as chair of the congressional black caucus representing 60 members, a third of the us population collectively. >> we're not interested in donald trump were interested in economic prosperity, wealth opportunities in our families and in our communities like in any other community. and that's why we're really excited to be joining forces with the vice president today. as we kick off this economic opportunities tour to really center the people in a

conversation about how we grow full economic part participation that is inclusive, particularly at a time when there are forces trying to take away or roll back our freedoms, our rights and our opportunities to even grow economically in this country. >> are you happy with how president biden has prioritized at black voters? there was some discontent in the initial years of his administration. >> will look what i know is we have passed historic legislation democrats in congress, along with president biden and vice president harris on issues pertaining to forgiving student debt economic growth in job creation, lowest unemployment for black america an explosion and entrepreneurs ship, where black women in particular and latinas are starting businesses at the highest clip ever. and so those are the record achievements what we have to do is center the people in the policies that

were advancing and really to make sure that they're connected to these resources and that's what this economic opportunities tour that we're, we're joining forces with the vice president is all about yeah. >> we're seeing this explosion of protests on college campuses. it's something that's become a very divisive inside the democratic caucus itself. >> how have you? variants that, especially as it has been in bernie sanders, was armed with my colleague dana bash. she said that the israel governments policies toward gaza are racist. i'm curious if you agree with that well, my position is israel has the right to defend itself. >> it also matters how it goes about doing that and that is why we have worked hard to make sure that we not only pass the foreign aid package, which leader jeffries made sure that there were the democratic votes in the house to do that. but also the humanitarian aid and the resources to help get our hostages out and to protect

innocent civilians in gaza. that should be our focus. and students have the right to protest. but we actually need to get to a resolution and towards a two-state solution going forward for peace what would you say to the students on this campus who are angry at the biden administration considering they are going to have a choice in the fall between joe biden and donald trump well, what we need to look at is the fact that under donald trump's administration, there were failures in addressing some of them the systemic issues that contributed to where we are today netanyahu also has a lot of responsibility for the intelligence failure. >> i'm a member of the armed services committee. there are things that could and should have been done before october 7. we are here where we are, we need to reach peace and a resolution that again protects israel, but also protects those

innocent people in gaza so you also, in addition to be on the armed services committee, you are in a frontline district. >> you're in in the las vegas area and big swath of nevada, but it's going to be districts like yours that determine whether democrats can hang on to the seats that they have. and then potentially take back the majority in the house. how confident are you that democrats can take back the house this fall? >> i'm very bullish leader jeffries will be the next speaker of the house of representatives. but it will be because we are putting the interests of people over politics in every major vote. house democrats have put the american people first when it comes to the economy, when it comes to lowering cost of health care in energy, the implementation of all the historic bills from bipoc partisan infrastructure bill to the chips and science law to the bipartisan safer communities law. it's democrats who have lead, but we've led by focusing on the people for the people. and that's why the people will put us back in. the majority come

january 2025, how much of it do you think is about the republican well, failure to at least be able to keep their house in order, i guess i would say for me, it's less about them and it really is more about the people and that's why even this economic opportunities tours so important because we do get distracted. there's a lot of focus on where are black voters were black men, where we are is we want full economic participation. we want to address housing costs so we want to lower the cost of rent. we want to have opportunities to own homes, not just to be the renters, we want to be the owners not and the creators of wealth not just those who consume it. that's this economic opportunities tour. and this is just the beginning. this is part of a much larger effort along with our economic prosperity and wealth agenda that's being led by 100% of the members of the cbc, our co-sponsors of this agenda going forward, 100% that's 60 members representing a third of

the us population when we uplift black america, we actually uplift all of america slowly. >> all right? >> congressman horse for thank you very much for being here. i really appreciate your time. i time now for sports, the timberwolves with the sun's to win their first playoff series in 20 years. >> karelin mano has more playoff action and this morning's, please report carolyn. good morning. good morning, casey, the timberwolves have a lot to hell about this morning, if you will, let me know the first seem to advance in the second round of the nba playoffs, anthony edwards put on another for show in last night's game for he was absolutely incredible he dropped 40 points, grabbed nine rebounds, and dished out six assists and a 1202 two once exceed win. and afterwards, the 22 year-old made it known that he will be reminding his team usa teammate kevin durant's of vout this week i got the most respect for kd man, like he comes in and compete every night, i watch every last one of his one of his games. since i've been by five so i love it.

>> i got man and i'm excited to play with him this summer. may i talk a lot tries and let them know. i sent him home he's never afraid to talk a little bit of trash. >> i like it though minnesota had to play the final two minutes of the game without chris finch look at this minnesota said coach ruptured his right patellar tendon in a collision with mcconkey right now, it's unclear whether he's going to be available to coach game one of the second round, but just a really unfortunate injury there meantime, nick star, jalen brunson was a one man wrecking crew against the sixers in philadelphia. he was brilliant. he dropped a franchise play off record 47 points in new york's 97, 92, and i had a huge fourth-quarter. they now lead the series three games to one and can win it back in new york on tuesday, brunson was asked if the accomplishment it is something that he's going to bask in now, or if he's going to save it for later look back when i retire seriously, this is it's great right now, helped us get a win. >> but on it's not going to do

anything for us going forward you expect nothing less from jalen brunson, his work ethic is second in a noun, the pacers have the bucks on the brink of elimination following a 126113, when to make a serious three one indiana during 22 threes breaking the teams play record. >> miles let's turn are leading the way there. he had seven of them and his 29 point performance even heard his name chances by fans, casey, who once thought that he should be traded from the team fans it's gonna be pickled like that and the clippers game dangerously close to an all-time collapse against the mavericks, la up 31 in the first half. but dallas stormed back to take the lead on a kyrie irving lay up with two if you've seen left in the game, james harden and paul george from each scored 33 points, came up, really pledged to, to save their team has la, rallies back to win once you've seen one 11 and tie this there is a two, so three more playoff games on the schedule tonight. the celtics and heat getting things started at 7:30 on our sister network, tnt than its thunder pelicans at 8:30, followed by lakers nuggets at ten. and in the nhl playoffs in

new york rangers. moving on to the second round in the east after breaking out the rooms on the road against the washington capitals or tmi pin and scoring go ahead. goal in the third period and adding an assist in the four to win new york, the first team to advance out of the first round in the nhl playoffs. thanks in large part to the play of their goaltender your sister. and by the way, he's been outstanding for their reward for that is if few days off while they await the winner of the hurricanes island or series, and we will take the rest at this time of year there is nothing casey, white light play all foggy, and chugging beer out of a cat fish. >> this is actually aly walkers isn't actress. >> if you no sense of anarchy. i didn't watch a series, but i'm certainly familiar with her this has become a tradition at nashville predators game over the years it's true, fan them. i wouldn't do it. would you absolutely not. yeah, it doesn't know it's airy and also heard seem who a three-to-one lead the final
