John antiisrael protesters taking to the streets as College Campuses are now in full blown crisis mode. We are awaiting an update from the white house on how the administration is responding to the protests as more are spreading against stomach across the country on john roberts in washington, sandra, every day this week the same thing. Sandra it continues to grow. We are covering it i am sandra smith in new york, john, this is America Reports so far over half of the top 50 universities in the country have seen protests just for the last week and it is growing by the day. John Fox Team Coverage starting now on how this is impacting bidens reelection a chance. Sandra lets get to Alexis Mcadams live at New York University for a alexis what are you seeing at nyu today . Hey, sandra and john come out at nyu we have not seen any protesters just yet though we know there are some planned events throughout this afternoon. We want to keep with you at nyu show you what we are seeing this is in front of the Business Schools where the tents are popping up now we just have wooden boards to try to prevent more protests. Things got pretty out of control the other night, watch this. [chanting] that new video shows protesters chasing after nypd officers at nyu after we were told they made an arrest when the protesters would not get out of there. Investigators are telling me this afternoon the crowd grew angry and violent after they had handcuffed a protester. They were trying to take the protester back away from police so the investigators had to go to the building for safety reasons. That shows what the officers have been dealing with, right . It was not just that. Somebody also threw a chair at police as they tried to clear the scene at nyu it was thrown so hard i am told it smashed an officers riot helmet he had on. Police tell us they believe there are professional agitators who know what they are doing and trying to cause trouble. They are now looking into the possibility, john and sandra, a possible outside group could fund these protests across the city. Back out here live at nyu another look here in front of the Business School you can see the boards are up is also more activity happening at columbia university. Where the calls for that president of the university are growing louder and louder each day. House Speaker Mike Johnson set to speak with columbia jewish students this afternoon and this morning things escalated outside the gates with antiisrael chants like this. Open isreal, go to hell, it is right to rebel exmac many are questioning who is organizig this movement pointing out these tents are pretty similar at campuses across the country even though there hundreds of miles apart who is paying for it is the question . Mayor of new york city say the agitators bringing in weapons, those tents, and trying to ignite the confrontation with police. Back live at nyu waiting to see what events are planned for the day but as you know from watching this, pretty much october across new york city in the country, these protests pop up quick and grow just as fast. Thats why these universities are hoping can keep things under control back to you. Alexis live at nyu for us a lot more coming up on that, thank you. It john . John what a political in a dell micro white house w Chief Of Staff and political analyst carl, start us off your. Biden appears to be trying to walk this issue with onefoot on either side of the fence. In doing so he just seems to be angering both sides. Yes. That largely stems from the impromptu comment he made where on the one hand he came out against the protests and the attacks on israel and jewish students and on the other hand recognizing the plight of palestinians. The statements of the written statements and the spokesman for the white house have been generally pretty tough, but the president himself set the tone by answering that question. Look, this will get worse before the end of the school year unless these universities step in and make sure that the students are allowed to go to class and that campuses are not overtaken by student protesters. This will be an ugly scene. Imagine what it will be like in august when the democrats meet in chicago and we have enormous crowds of protesters in grant park during the Democratic National convention. Its not going to be a pretty sight and it will be reminiscent of 1968 and the famous Democratic Convention that was wracked by protests over the vietnam war. John there is a whole bucket of grease they had to put on the statue to keep people from climbing it, what you think of how the president has done so far like into a donald trump set about charlottesville, there are fine people on both sides what you say . I dont see the parallel, john, clearly people can say, and i think the American People in polling have said they support israel, they are opposed to antisemitism and certainly any kind of bullying and intimidation by these people on the campuses. At the same time, you can be concerned with the plight of the Palestinian People in terms of a very strong Israeli Military offensive that has devastated much of gaza. Those are two separate issues and i think that is what the president was speaking to very much unlike charlottesville. In terms of the politics, you know, the reality is the election is not until november. And a lot of these young people out here today have strong disagreements with the president , President Bidens support of israel continues funding the terry support, but you know look at ilhan omar, the congresswoman member of the squad who has strong disagreements with bidens israeli policies, recently she said oh, i am voting for biden. And i think right now that is where the white house is thinking is a lot of these young people have strong disagreements. They have First Amendment rights but its not likely they will change their vote. We did not see that last night in pennsylvania. Biden did very well. He did better than prompted in terms of democratic votes. John we dont know what the scope of the uncommitted vote is at this point. We will likely in the days ahead. In terms of terms of ilhan omar, carl, other members of the squad i think they are probably voting for biden because who else are you going to vote for . But and they appear to be driving the bus here. This is what aoc, Alexander Acosta or taz, said about these protests direct contradiction to what biden said she said calling Police Enforcement and nonviolent demonstrations of Young Students on campus is a escalatory, reckless, and dangerous act with a heinous failure of leadership that puts peoples lives at risk i condemned in the strongest possible terms. Biden is condemning antisemitism going on and she says i am behind you all the w way. Look, we are not talking about with the politicians are going to do, certainly aoc are going to say we are loyal democrats and we support joe biden but look at grassroots. Look at the result of the pennsylvania primary. There is an 8 gap that is to say if you look in the twoparty registration in pennsylvania, the democrats have an 8 advantage over republicans. The turnout was a 2 advantage. No races at the top of the ticket but the democrat advantage and registration so virtually disappeared when the actual turnout was there. Thats not a good sign. And one can say this, plenty of time for this to get handled by the november election, but this animus towards israel and support for the palestinian cause from the river to the sea as they say, the extension of the state of israel is very strong in certain elements of the Democratic Party and will be reflected with people turning out and people failing to turn out and not voting for joe biden in the president ial race. John what do you say about that but he is alienating Jewish Voters and at the same time he will not win back arab and Muslim Americans in places like michigan, they are gone . Why they would cross that is ontopic like a matter of art you going to have people who dont show up at the polls and carl pointed last night to the level of activism among democratic most are voters and fondling a primary so again i would point out in terms of actual vote, joe biden did better in terms of raining and capturing democratic votes then former President Trump did in capturing republican votes. And the second thing to say here is i think a lot of people have to make the case, and this is on the Biden Campaign to do it, that it is a matter of free speech and expression as long as you are nonviolent, nonthreatening, not antisemitic. But you have the right to express your opinion and a matter of democracy and they will say but look at the alternative, if you care about democracy are you voting for biden or are you going to vote for trump . What an option. That makes biden look quite appealing. John i think the issue with a lot of these protesters, they are definitely engaging in harassment. Is a lot of antisemitism. That is wrong. Definitely. One, carl, great to see they could for kicking things off today appreciate it. Thank you. A lot more head on this coming up. Sandra indeed as we continue to cover the life protests happening Outside Columbia right now. We do expect a little bit later on today at 3 45 p. M. Eastern time the speaker, mike johnson, is going to be meeting with jewish students at the campus and he will deliver a message. We will of course carry that here live. We will also have a member of the Administration Come up, Pete Buttigieg will be joining us, a lot to talk to him about, transportation and otherwise but certainly we will talk about what is happening on College Campuses. John he is a graduate of harvard so he knows the environment of Ivy League Colleges. Maybe he can add a little perspective for us.

Beast racking up millions of views on tiktok and the future of the app is of an air after the Senate Passed this bill that would force the platform to divest from china or the Parent Company, bytedance, to divest from china or face a ban. How do these tiktokers feel about it . We will ask one, freddy smith, Realtor Freddy Smith joins us. You get lots of views, lots of clicks come lots of people who want to follow you and hear what you have to say and as a result you create content and you make money as a result of it. What do you think about this the potential for a ban how would that affect you . I think there are two sides of it. There is a Consumer Side of tiktok and then there is the business side of tiktok. To go on the Consumer Side for all of us who love the app you have people like mr. Beast who creates entertaining content. There are people who do skits, who dance and we are entertained but the biggest thing we are doing on tiktok now is educating each other and having important discussions. We may learn Something Like how to repair a hole in your drywall, changing spark plug, or if you should refinance your house how to get things done but we are talking about things and issues happening in the country coming together and having the discussion. Thats what would be missed the most. Because right now in the current platform like mainstream media, i feel right now i am more presenting my idea, but there is nobody who can comment immediately and correct me if i am wrong or add on that i am doing right. When this is pulled from fox and put to tiktok, thousands of americans can comment on what i am saying if they agree or disagree and we can have a discussion. This happens across the board in so many areas, thats what i love most about this app is we are educating each other, we are seeing real people make actual discussions in the country which is great. Sandra very good so how concerned are you, freddie, about our personal information being compromised as a result of china, you know, being in charge of bytedance the Parent Company does that concern you . I think thats what will be discussed over the next nine months of asking the question of what they mean about china buying what they mean about them looking at our data do they mean they know i watched slamdunk contest on tiktok or that i buy nike running to make shoes . What do they mean and how is it different then what they are doing with our data like facebook where they sell it for advertisements . I think there is a misconception they are spying through our cameras and stealing our Social Security numbers. They are just watching our behavior online to sell data to advertise to us. So i think that is the biggest misconception. Sandra the Senate IntelligenceCommittee Chair mark warner says in the context of social media platforms, to answer your question, used by nearly half of americans is not hard to imagine a platform that facilitates so much commerce, political discourse, and social debate could be corporately manipulated, he says, to serve the goals of an authoritative regime with a long track record of censorship, Transnational Oppression and disinformation promotion. Thats where some of the Lawmaker Stand On at perry we decided to ask a bunch of users of the app how they feel about this political discussion that is being had come listen. Its a good platform. I dont think getting it ban would help at all. I dont think they should do it, i dont think its hurting anybody right now. I think it is a form of censorship and it shouldnt happen. I definitely think it will impact the job market. There should be an american alternative. I think we will see things like snapchat and facebook come with the new platforms. I think less apps people are scrolling all day is good. Sandra i want to get your reaction to that, freddie. Everyone is talking about it. What about an american version of this or somebody buys tiktok and it is housed solely as an american company, what do you see as the answer here . I think the answer is that we need to fight to keep tiktok because they have done it better than the other companies, though i love instagram, though i love youtube and i use them just as much as tiktok, there is something they have done on tiktok better than any other app. Again, when it comes to the disinformation, we still dont see any proof of what that disinformation is that is being shown that everyone is worried about. The app is full of americans like me and you and everyone in that interview having discussions about what is going on in their life or ripping clips from fox and cnn and the senators and congresspeople having discussions and us commenting on what is going on in the world. So i think there is just a huge misconception from people who dont use tiktok of what tiktok really is. And thats okay, but thats what will be the discussion over the next nine months while we fight to keep this apple life. Sandra got it because it is your livelihood, right . This is your main source of income, correct . Yes one of the main sources. Myself and seven other million Business Owners do make money from the app so we have not only the Consumer Side concern that our livelihood. Sandra may i ask are you willing to give us a ballpark of how much you are able to make a year usin
