assaulted in the library by a fellow student while i was wearing an american israeli flag and having my attacker roam freely throughout the campus. >> bill: remarkable testimony. jewish students accusing colleges of ignoring rampant anti-semitism. the presidents of three american universities trying to defend themselves on the hill. lawmakers not buying it. that's where we start today midweek. it's wednesday, bill hemmer. good morning to you. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." good to be with you again. a lot half en yesterday. the hearing was in response to a surge of pro-palestinian and anti-israel protests erupted on campuses in more than two dozen states and some turned violent. [shouting] >> bill: some protestors calling for the mass murder of jews. lawmakers grilling the president of harvard on that very issue asking whether or not she was okay with hate speech. >> doctor, a harvard student calling for the mass murder of african-americans is not free speech at harvard, correct? yes or no question. is that okay for students to call for the mass murder of african-americans at harvard? is that protected free speech? it's a yes or no question. let me ask you this. you are president of harvard. i assume you are familiar with the term intifada. >> yes. >> and you understand the use of the term intifada in the context of the conflict is a call for violent armed resistance against the state of israel including violence against civilians and the genocide of jews. are you aware of that? >> bill: stefanik said the harvard president should be fired. >> dana: she is an alum and thinking about what happened at her university. >> bill: the reason why the presidents are there is the amount of money the taxpayers give these universities for research, etc. we were watching this yesterday. here is the -- a student from the u penn. >> dana: it will be great to have him. students that spoke yesterday were so well spoken and they are also fearful for their lives. we have a lot more to do on that. >> virginia fox said remember when you are speaking you are not speaking to us but to the students on your campus who feel they have been threatened sometimes with their lives. that is coming up momentarily and this from jerusalem. watch now. >> i say to the women's rights organizations, to the human rights organizations, you've heard of the rape of israeli women, horrible atrocities, sexual mutilation, where the hell are you? i expect all civilized leaders, governments, nations to speak up against this atrocity. >> bill: netanyahu slamming those who stayed silent on the rape and torture of israeli women by hamas. the spokesperson for the prime minister is with us now. do you think yesterday moved the ball in the right direction or not? >> on monday i took part in one of the most powerful events i've ever witnessed at the united nations and trust me, dana and bill, i heard about these testimonies, i heard about these atrocities in my role but it was so powerful and moving and so sad to hear firsthand from first responders who came to the scene on october 7th and handled these bodies, what happened to some of these women. and i said there that these women were murdered two times. first when hamas terrorists raped and mutilated them and abused them sexual and the second time when they put a bullet in them and they happened at the same time in one case. it is sickness. we won't allow for a third time to take place for them to be murdered again from neglect and silence. >> dana: the women's groups silent we can put this up on the screen here. these are all women's groups that are sure to jump on anything if it doesn't have to do with an israeli woman getting attacked and raped. here is a female hostages account. you know this but for our audience. she said that they touch girls and everyone knows it. i won't recount details. we had a procedure that no one moves without someone guarding them. medications ran out and they gave us the wrong drugs. what more can you tell us about the horrors that they experienced? >> it was intentional. it wasn't -- it was a feature at the october 7th plan. we played excerpts from interrogations of activities israel arrested admitting to it which is sick. regarding these human rights groups, i think that there are a few tears of different hypocrisy at play. ones that deny the testimony. abundant testimony. and then there are the ones who simply say that yes, there is evidence but. as if they deserved it because they were jewish, israeli. you see the vile hashtag now me too unless you are a jew. you have the staunch advocates so-called for human rights and say it has to be investigated. estimate they are taking hamas numbers and reports and what not at face value. this has to be investigated. and i don't understand what they are thinking they're doing here. are they helping the palestinians when they don't acknowledge what happened to israeli women? do they think that it means they will send 100% with the israeli position on the israeli/palestinian conflict if they acknowledge what transpired? >> bill: part of the reason why this came to light this week is because you had prominent american women, largely democratic, who probably aligned themselves with a lot of the groups that dana just mentioned there and they were having none of this. check out the sound bite from new york at the u.n. >> when i saw the list of women's rights organizations who have said nothing, i nearly choked. >> this goes beyond politics. if we can't agree that rape is wrong, then we have accepted the unacceptable. >> it is outrageous that some who claim to stand for justice are closing their eyes and their hearts to the victims of hamas. >> bill: we play that because congresswoman jayapal on sunday really lit a fire about this because she couldn't answer the question directly. she put out a statement late last night saying let me be completely clear again that i unequivocally condemn hamas's use of rape and sexual violence in an act of war but went on to say and said this is horrific and across the world we must stand with our sisters, families, and survivors of sexual assault everywhere to condemn violence and hold perpetrators accountable. she is talking about the entire globe. >> i'm still waiting for her to retract the other statement in the interview. one war crime doesn't justify another. israel is abiding by international law. in fact, we go to very, very unprecedented extent to protect and safeguard the civilian population of gaza. >> dana: thank you for coming in today. i wish i had been at the u.n. that must have been something to witness. thank you for being here and explaining it to our viewers. good to have you. >> i love joe biden. i'm good person. i want to be good person here in the united states. >> i came here because i want quality life, you know. america is a land of opportunity. >> dana: masses of single men are flooding the southern border in arizona creating a free for all overwhelming border agents and raising security concerns across the country. bill melugin is live in lukeville, arizona with the latest. you stunned us with video yesterday. judging by the scene behind you it hasn't stopped. >> no, it is not stopping. the numbers are getting even worse. multiple cbp sources telling me in the last 24 hours border patrol alone has made more than 10,000 apprehensions of illegal immigrants. that doesn't even include cbp ports of entry. you can see the situation in lukeville. well over 800 people waiting in line after crossing illegally overnight waiting to be apprehended by border patrol. deja vu from yesterday. they are coming from all over the world. a lot of african men, mostly single adult men here. some setting campfires overnight in the cold camping out here waiting to get taken into custody by border patrol. sources telling me in the last 24 hours in the tucson, arizona sector there were almost 2,900 apprehensions and the border patrol facilities here are currently running 200% of their capacity. that's why there are so many people out here waiting to be taken into custody by border patrol. arizona has a democrat governor katie hobbs. she hasn't sent any arizona resources, no troopers or national guard unlike what we've seen in texas with governor greg abbott. governor hobbs is calling for more federal action when it comes to helping in arizona. take a listen. >> we need the federal government to act and provide more resources and we've been very clear about that. there is a lot more they could be doing both the biden administration and again i know this is beating the drum we've been beating for decades. comprehensive immigration reform to thoroughly address this issue. >> as people continue flowing into the country so are narcotics. cbp officers at the port of entry in arizona finding over 1 million fentanyl pills hidden in a smuggler's vehicle. they were able to seize that. we want to take you back to the video from yesterday. look at this. we showed you these images yesterday of illegal immigrants pushing through a breach in the border wall that had been cut through by smugglers. this happened right in front of border patrol. all these people were spilling through the wall taking advantage of the situation. a human smuggler gives us a shrug and salutes us. gop presidential candidate florida governor ron desantis reacted to that video posting a tweet that says in part, quote, the cartels are laughing at us now but they won't be when i'm commander-in-chief. any cartel operative caught cutting through the border wall will be left stone cold dead. back out here live goes to one of his campaign promises saying if they see any cartels members bringing in fentanyl or cutting through the border wall he will authorize the use of lethal force. back here you can see the situation that looks like border patrol is in for a busy day in lukeville. the epicenter of this border crisis. walk with me more and you can seekamp fires set overnight trying to stay warm. this isn't the only line of people here. look ahead they are keeping family units, women, children, families separate from these single adult men and brian, if we can pan left to finish off another group waits to be apprehended by a border patrol bus. we're in the middle of nowhere out here. takes long for border patrol processing. these folks could be waiting for days. >> dana: how many of the reporters are down there, bill? >> there is actually a decent amount. there is more starting to show up both local and national. with these kind of images it is hard to think they wouldn't be down here. >> dana: good. bill melugin, thank you. >> bill: a bit of a change. thank you, bill. well done. >> dana: usually solo. >> i see biden talking about maga. maga means make america great again. that's what it means. [cheers and applause] that's what people want. see that gentleman? they want to see our country be great again. >> bill: you had it on fox last evening. the former president town hall in dave en port, iowa weighed in on everything including whether or not he thinks president biden will be the democratic nominee. >> dana: that's a tease. plus rising anti-semitism coupled with what is being called an unprecedented terror threat. how should the united states respond? >> i am concerned that we are an elevated and heightened threat environment from foreign terrorist organizations for a whole host of reasons. out of control. get a newday 100 va cash out loan at lower mortgage rates to pay off those high rate car loans. >> bill: on to 2024 now. polls showing form president trump showing a big lead for the nomination. he took part in a town hall last night the sean hannity on fox. says he is ready to take on president joe biden in a rematch of 2020. >> i personally don't think he will win. he is in bad shape physically. remember when he said i would like to take him behind the barn. if he took me behind the barn and i went like this i believe he would fall over. who knows? everyone thought it was so cute. if i ever said it they'd say he is a dictator, he is a horrible human being. a whole double standard we have. >> bill: they covered a lot of ground last night. in iowa. 99 counties in iowa. trump won 93 in 2020. >> dana: my grandmother used to call the sofa a dave en port. when you hear laughter at a political event it's going well. he was asked if he would abuse his power. >> do you in any way have any plans whatsoever, if reelected president, to abuse power, to break the law, to use the government to go after people? >> in the history of our country, what has happened to us again has never happened before. over nonsense, over nothing, made up charges. i often say al capone. he was a mob boss and got indicted once. i got indicted four times. >> dana: the goat greatest criminal of all time. capone. one of the things the media is doing is ratcheting up the concern americans should have if president trump returns to power because he would be a dictator and abuse power and one of the reasons sean asked him the question. >> bill: the clip off the top of that. would you abuse power >> you mean like they're doing right now and went on to answer the question the following way. look, it was a packed room. he is a clear favorite in iowa. we'll find out january 15th if all the polling is right right now. >> dana: we shall see. this on the terror watch list. >> i have never seen a time where all the threats or so many of the threats are all elevated all at exactly the same time. blinking red lights analogy about 9/11, all the lights were blinking red before 9/11, apparently all of us missed it. would you say that there is multiple blinking red lights out there? >> i see blinking lights everywhere. >> dana: urgent warning from the f.b.i. director. terror threat alerts reaching a high. agents working around the clock. open borders and limited resources are stretching the f.b.i. thin. just for example. call for number one here on the border in 2021, 2022 and 2023, look at the number of people that we have actually arrested that were picked up and they are on the terror watch list. that doesn't include how many we didn't find as they crossed the border. 736 so far in fiscal year 2023. chris, do you believe that f.b.i. director wray probably has a hard time sleeping at night, but must be hard to figure out how to make sure none of these threats come through? >> right. chris was right to point out the elevated terrorist threat. it is off the charts. and anyone with an ounce of counter terrorism experience knows that. not just because of the hamas/israel conflict. our southern border represents the greatest threat to this country we have had in my lifetime. that border is wide open. 1.7 million gotaways. so all these things. they were trying to renew section 702 which gives them some certain surveillance authorities. these are things that came in after 9/11. counter terrorism measures that the f.b.i. needed. there are many others as well. airport screening. you can't get through the airports anymore. all those counter terrorism efforts are for nothing, nullified and neutralized by this open border. when you have known terrorists being caught and then 1.7 million people who got away and about 6.7 million coming across the border during biden's administration or border encounters, we basically turned our border patrol into wal-mart greeters. they aren't doing the job that they were set up to do. >> dana: completely overwhelmed at the border. the f.b.i. director mentioned -- you mentioned 702, part of the fisa reauthorization bill. here is what he said. >> what if there were a terrorist attack that we had a shot to prevent but couldn't take it because the f.b.i. was deprived of its ability under 702 to actually look at key information already sitting in our holdings? allowing 702 to lapse or guts it effectiveness would be reckless at best and dangerous and irresponsible at worst. >> dana: chris, do you agree? >> i do agree. the f.b.i. is an important organization. they have a very important mission but i wish chris had been more strident again about the reasons why we need these types. the threat is elevated at this point. again it is because of the border. we have a fifth column in this country. there are many, many hamas supporters across the country showing their support for a terrorist organization. what if it was al qaeda or isis? they're out there demonstrating and in my view many violating the material support statute set up to prevent people from providing support to foreign terrorist organizations. so there is many factors here that go into the threat. i just wish chris had been a little more strident about the border. a great opportunity to do it. it makes their job harder. they can have all the 702 authorities they want. but we have 1500 miles of open land that people can cross. any terrorist who wants to come across can. >> dana: we need all the tools. the headline terrorism threats rising in europe. the united states we're not the only ones worried about terrorist threats and on top of it. chris swecker, thank you for joining us today. >> thank you. >> bill: so we have a vaccine for the flu, we have it for covid. how about for a drug overdose? there is a potential game changer in the fight against fentanyl. we'll have it for you in a moment. a fiery house hearing on transgender males in women's sports. riley gaines let it fly on the hill yesterday. >> unsafe, unfair and discriminatory practices towards women must stop. inclusion cannot be prioritized over safety and fairness. another excuse, i mean, reason for my family to crave a little pizza time. well, i've got one. my cuisinart indoor pizza oven, ready to bake up some bubbly, cheesy, savory sauciness with that perfect artisan crispy crust in about five minutes. it's great for snack time, dinner time, game time. me time. anytime. it's always time for home baked pizza. with 30 grams of protein. those who tried me felt more energy in just two weeks. -ahh, -here, i'll take that. woo hoo! ensure max protein 30 grams protein, one gram sugar, 25 vitamins and minerals, and nutrients for immune health.
