President biden i condemned the antisemitic protest thats why im set up a program to do that there might also condemn those who dont understand whats going on with the palestinians. Martha more on that from the president in this moment but first lets get straight to Senior Correspondent Steve Harrigan who is reporting live at nyu on the action there this afternoon. Hi, steve. Martha, of the crowd here has been going at it for about two ours. Its getting bigger and leg getting loaded as well. Were hearing chance of free, free palestine. This is called a nationwide strike and already a more than 1000 people involved in here, it spread to nyu and yale, other elite universities across the northeast even out to berkeley now in california. Some high schools too beginning to get involved as well. This is really has been a hard thing for administrators to deal with. This and have been cut flatfooted so far. Online learning at the campus to a standstill in many places. Back to you. Martha well keep a close eye. Will go back there is a situation merits. Thank you very much. Will also talk to Trade Mcclay Travis and get his unique perspective on this on this a little while. But back to President Biden who plays company in florida and at this hour there is no more response from him on the shocking growth of these anti israel protests. He is speaking in florida though about abortion rights, an issue that he thinks could work for him in the 2024 election in that state. Vice president harris also talking about election and healthcare, shes in wisconsin to the. Tell a local tv station when asked pointblank about these protest saying that she is deeply concerned about growing antisemitism in the United States. That was the extent of her comments there. A moment also hogan ghibli, libs Trump White House Principal Press secretary, obama advisor robert wolf, former obama advisor and first we go to White House Correspondent Jackie Heinrich with the very latest on the president today. Hi. Hi. The president has been in front of cameras more than a few times and all of this and spiraled Out Of Control and you has not ceased any of those moments speak firmly against this. He has treated you five times and saturday including nine times about climate but no mention of the protests on these campuses. When our fox producer shouted at question that you displayed heated issue that both sides kind of automation and the white house that but it was from the Deputy Press Secretary andrew bates who just defended President Biden speaking to reporters on air force one. In the president s passed overstatement he directly addressed about comments that circulated over the weekend with a Call To Action echoing the rhetoric of Terrorist Organizations especially in the wake of the worst massacre minute against the jewish people since the holocaust is despicable. We are of course monitoring the situations closely. But the president s passed overstatement only reference was happening at schools after four paragraphs about the rituals are passed over, efforts to get a ceasefire and hostage deal, 82 State Solution and humanitarian aide into gaza. Financing in the fifth paragraph we must speak out against alarming surge of antisemitism in our schools, communities and online. Silence is complicity even in recent days weaving harassment encourage them by this latent antisemitism is reprehensible and dangerous and has no place in College Campuses or anywhere in the country. We will see if the president said anything in florida as he walked straight past out of the sandra martha jackie got thank you. With that we bring in and former White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary on the America First policy Institute Senior advisor thats a lot of titles. And rougeau pharmac you know, its interesting to note that there hasnt been any sort of pulling government response to this and you pointed out in a very interesting piece today calling on President Biden to take a leadership role here that the Department Of Education and the doj should be enacted to move in to try to protect these students can get them to have a safe environment, the go to class. But he pulled up the College Education of for civil rights and releasably i think this is what is on the front page of the Department Of Education for civil rights office. The majority of our ocr staff are working remotely because of the pandemic so please send us an email. Robert, what can we expect of our federal government and from President Biden . What should he be what should his response be in all of this and normas government that we have that seems to be not put to use, whatsoever and what we are seeing . , martha, thanks. As you know, is personal to me. Im an ivy league guy, im jewish got my family was impacted by the holocaust im taking the other side of this. President biden has been unequivocal in his comments, silence is complicity, threatening and intimidation is antisemitism. They started the First National strategy for combating antisemitism. No one has been strong on israel since october 7th making sure they got funding including putting ammunition there in advance. Is also been fighting with the in a bipartisan way fighting for more aid to israel and the family is going to pass and it would also say i was recently at a un summit with the first gentleman, doug m. Half, who is talking about antisemitism and violence in these threats on a continuous basis. I think they are articling that this is critically important and that antisemitism, there is a hard line in the sand and you dont cross it. Sandra martha talking is one thing, statements have gone out. We have an image here of the little rock man from arkansas in 1957 breaking the desegregation barrier. Obviously that led to a lot of strike during the civil rights offered on the righthand side of your screen, are seeing palestinian supporters students who seem to have o one, howie kurtz because students who feel unsafe or mostly jewish students, basically been sent home from colombia university. So where is the Police Protection that eventually came for students, black students who wanted to go to schools in america, where is that protection for these jewish students to finish the semester at places like columbia . While more places like columbia and nyu and yale should call in their local police force and all the arrests that we have last week. But now it does seem spiraling Out Of Control and look at President Biden at the commanderinchief should own this story about the spread of antisemitic poison got about the walkouts about the arrest and also about the switch to Virtual Learning at this very important expensive schools. He could give a speech. To what happens . He gives two sentences what kostov reporters question your you you cant really hear it very well and is very terse. And i think that may be because he is trying to not further alienate the anti israel wing, in his own party but he really should be out there. Should absolutely take ownership of the situation and back it up with action as you were suggesting. Martha another piece out today the sizes President Biden and basically said that he is running dearborn michigan did dictate his policy and all of this. Organ what is response to that and i know you obviously worked for President Trump who wants to be president again. This is a sticky situation. How do you think it should be dealt with from the Executive Office . I am glad you brought up dearborn because these are what these actions by biden or inactions if you will are all about. You can see on one hand how he is so tough and supportive of israel but at the same time he is caught on Heart Marketing will go have come to jesus moment with benjamin netanyahu, how is working for a ceasefire. These people on College Campuses are shocking death to america, shouting oim there, he about placating there talking about supporting terrorism. This should be in nobrainer for the ministration to come out. But as is with most things it is about politics. He knows he has a problem in the selection that he knows he has a problem with the folks out there who dont support israel. He knows he has a problem in michigan. So what hes trying to do is play both sides of this issue. It is a serious problem for him and you has left College Campuses exposed to a lot of danger and a lot of martha i have a few seconds left but i want to give robert a very Quick Response on the. Should President Biden allow the enforcement to come in and make sure that these jewish students came safely get to their classrooms from their norms and give them the right to an indication that they have paid for . Campuses absolutely have to be safe i agree with what howie said. The police need to go in to make sure sandra martha but columbia wont let him. But this is not a time to call in the national guard. Martha gentleman, thank you very much for your input there. Thank you for input today.

Martha everyone [chanting] martha protesters facing off against each other last night Near Columbia University in new york city. Classes now going hybrid might have cancelled the rest of the school year which only goes for about another week apparently at Columbia University but the students are going to be at home which is not the College Experience that they paid for or we had hoped for, they should have the right to be in their classrooms learning and experiencing all of that particular situation as easy. Similar scenes at nyu. Right now theres a walkout underway downtown in manhattan, Uptake Funder Play Travis Is Standing by but first lets check in with senior correspondence Steve Harrigan recording reporting live from new york. , martha, theyre coined as a nationwide strike and it doesnt look like theyre going anywhere soon. Numbers about 1500 year hearing the chance. Everyone free, free palestine, and some questions now being raised about whos behind his organization and who is finding it especially after Columbia University called employees, took away all the tents and then just days later a whole new hundred pence suddenly appeared. Ask yourself this ques question, you need to ask yourself this question. Look at the tents, they all wear the same colour, they already same type of Tens Coliseum ones that we saw in nyu coliseum ones that we see in columbia. To me i think somebody is funding this. Also they are professional educators in there that are just looking for something to be agitated about which is the process. More than 100 people were arrested outside of nyu overnight, its not clear how many of them were students when you look at the arrest records many in the ages of 34, 25, 27 and The Big Question is how long this will go on. You mentioned that columbia is premar shutdown for oncampus learning, what could go through the end of the turn and even to education on may 15th. , martha, back to you. Martha sad state of affairs, thank you. The spring in outkick founder, clay travis. Thank you for being here today. Is interesting to note that robert kraft and others are the owner of the patriots, you know, is discussing pulling his money, donations that he has made the columbia. Here is a quick sign bite of him last night and sent at the. Assume that happening now in this great country and offered so many opportunities to our families who came here as immigrants. And we have to keep it open. We cant have this intimidation that is filtering through all of these colleges. Martha about antisemitism that we see all across the universities. Clay what is your take on where we are today . I got many thoughts , martha. Thank for having me on. To start with, when charlottesville happened, donald trump was ridiculed reviled attacked on a level of that frankly, hasnt come close to one joe biden is being held accountable. I remember, himself said that the reason he ran for president was because of what he saw charlottesville. Now we have hundreds if not thousands of protests that are every bit as antis antisemitic, far worse in many ways honestly than what we saw at charlottesville in terms of the scope and significance of them. Joe biden is failing when it comes to standing up for israel and israels right to defend itself and , martha, weve started on clay and back for a while but ive seen other people kind of had this take too. I want to give you a hypothetical. Pretend that in mexico, a cartel group had come across the United States border, killed 1200 people in the United States, and in cold blood because they were american, then taken over 100 of our citizens hostage and gone back across the southern border. What would we do to mexican people who might be innocent but in any way were harbouring that group that had attacked the United States, killed over 1200 of our people and kidnapped over 100 of them . We would rain down holy hell up on that group and every american with a functional brain would understand why we were doing it. I dont understand why anyone would with a functional brain in america right now c. That analogy as to what israel is doing. The worst single day for jewish people since the holocaust. Everybody wants to run around and try to compare trump to adolf hitler in the far left in america. While the most devastating, that lite for jewish people since the holocaust just happen on october 7th and these is the imbecilic kids and everybody else affiliated with them is actually marching in support of hamas in many respects and what they did. I find it frankly absolutely unacceptable and i think all of the adults are feeling here in terms of what they are countenancing on many of these Different University competences my campuses. Martha with regard to charitable i think its a very good point to make because it was antisemitism in charlottesville that but instead drove him inspired him to run for president and he was extraordinarily angry about this antisemitism. He said this is not america. You know, we cannot talk about it and he cr
