Antiisrael protests continued at colleges across the country this week as the growing Campus Unrest threatens to complicate joe bidens reelection bid. The president is scrambling to shore up support among his progressive base with a focus on abortion rights, Student Loan Forgiveness and climate change, but his handling of the israelhamas if war is being closely watched by Younger Voters and arabamericans in key swing states. Both President Biden and former President Donald Trump weighed in on the protests this week. I condemn the antisemitic protests, thats why ive set up a program dealing with that the. I also condemn voters who dont understand whats going on with the palestinians. Whats gown on at the College Level at these colleges, column ya, nyu and others is a disclass, and its a its really on biden. He has the wrong signal, hes got the wrong tone, hes got the wrong words. He doesnt know who hes backing, and its a mess. Paul lets bring in Wall Street Journal columnists and Fox News Contributor karl rove. Welcome, crm. So, lets talk about the political impact of protests like this across the United States because theyre now spreading pretty far and if wide. Finish whos likely to be hurt by this, if anyone . Well, potentially joe biden. Pew did a poll of 18 to 19yearolds, and Younger Voters have a distinctly different view of The Middle East than the rest of the electorate. 33 of voters 18 to 29 sympathize more with the palestinians. 14 support sthietz more with israel, 53 equally or both. Compare that, for example, to the 65yearold plus voters. 9 sympathize more with the palestinians, 47 with the, with israel and its people. So we start off with the democrats facing an electorate that is, a younger electorate thats strongly, far more likely to sympathize with the palestinians. On the other hand, harvard did its annual survey of the Harvard Institute of politics of 18 to 29yearolds. Number one issue among the younger i voters was inflation. 64 president ranked it number one 64 . Conflict in The Middle East is down there number 15 out of 16 with 34 attaching some importance to it. Only lore item was student debt. So weve got these conflicting things. Weve got a strong sentiment among Younger Voters, some Younger Voters to be in sympathy9 with the palestinians burke this not being important overall among Younger Voters. The problem is, in a key state like michigan 10 to ,000 or 15,000 people feeling droppingly about the palestinian cause very a big effect, same with wisconsin, pennsylvania, ads, georgia or nevada. So where these protests are taking place is going to be an indication of where there could be a real problem for biden. Paul but beyond the issue of israel versus palestine or palestinians or hamas, is the question of public order. And i think, you know, the question i have is as you get a per if sense that somehow these perception that somehow these students are acting with impunity, leaders of these institutions will not act with enough force or authority to say, look, you have the right to free speech but not on private property and not when it it is disrupts other students. And usc just canceled its commencement. What about the poor kids who spent four years there, 180,000 a year, whatever it costs, and they cant bring their parents in to watch them graduate . Whats the impact of that . Thats a big impact because, look, the party of Law And Order is going to win this particular issue. Theres little enthusiasm particularly when we see the kind of scenes that were seeing on television of the nature of the protests around columbia. You know, vile, antisemitic chants, you know, attacks on jewish students, the fear of jewish students to be able to attend class. So, you know, we had here im broadcasting in front of the, at the State Capitol in austin, texas. We had the State Troopers go onto the ut campus in order to break up a won in straight that was designed to shut down the university of texas as we approach finals for the spring. So, you know, i know how texans are going to feel about this. They were saying god bless Governor Abbott and the state police for taking making certain that our university of texas can finish its semester. This is where the real problem is. And we saw biden in that clip that you had being equivocating on this, or or sort of a moral if equivalency between, you know, i con dem the protesters but, you know, i also condemn the people who dont understand whats happening to the palestinians. Thats not what the American People are looking for. Paul i want to ask you a question about the economy, karl, because we got a report on the First QuarterEconomic Growth and it was slow, slower. No sign of recession, but slowed down considerably. Prices popped back up. When does, politically speaking, when does the publics perception about the strength or weakness or trouble in the economy kind of set in in a fixed way where voters wont change their mind anymore between that point and the election . When is that in an Election Year . Normally youd say maybe late summer, labor day or early fall. But we may be at that point because weve been in this situation for song so long. And the administration has sort of set itself up for failure by spending 2023 talking about bidenomics. I took a Marketing Class as a freshman in college, and i remember well the lesson that if your product stinks, dont put your name on it. [laughter] their product if stunk, and they put their name on it. So we may be at the point where they cant get rid of this issue. Normally, it would be late in the summer, early in the fall. But we may be at that point already. Paul so what do the they do . Briefly. Theyve got to change the subject. [laughter] theyve got to hope the economy gets better, but that antibiotic a strong recipe for aint a strong recipe for success. Paul elector karl, thanks. Still ahead, as a antiisrael colleges spread to colleges across the United States, a closer look at the roots of the current unrest is and whos behind the mayhem at many of the countrys elite by shape and price so its simple to find a pair youll love.

[background sounds] the madness has to stop. The madness has the stop. Paul that was House Speaker mike johnson at Columbia University on wednesday as propalestinian protests spread to campuses across the United States with hundreds arrested this week in boston, atlanta, austin, los angeles and elsewhere. Lets bring in our panel, Wall Street Journal columnists dan Dan Henninger kim strassel and Editorial Board member kyle peterson. So, dan, whats the we know that the palestinian, israel issue is galvanizing here, but is there something deeper driving these Student Propests protests . Yeah. I think it goes a lot deeper, paul. It egos back several decades. [laughter] and or you know, these are students at college, and they happen to have gone through high school and middle school, right . And we know what has happened to a lot of the Public Schools and private schools in the United States. Teachers have turned from simply teaching the abcs to teaching people how to be politically correct. Wokeness identity, these things are conveyed in schools now as well as universities. Weve talked about this endlessly paul the kind of faculty model. And heres the irony, they were supposed to be creating a fifth column of poplar people who would go out into the population and Process Thelytize the United States about all these issues. And guess what . Theyre eating their own. Theyre attacking the universities themselves. Theyre attacking the professors. And the professors are showing the least bit of courage and now going out in these quads and demonstrating with these people. Were looking at really a significant disintegration of the Higher Education system in the United States. Beyond, i think, these demonstrations. This is something trustees are going to have to get their arms around. Paul kim, you speak once in a while on College Campuses so and is part of the problem that that universities, some of them, lost the idea of what it means to be a liberal Education Institution . With the cancel culture that weve seen e over the years getting rid of some speakers, the monoif culture, Progressive Monoculture in the faculties, and thats driving some of this. Oh, absolutely, paul. This goes back decades. And the word here is indulgence. Indulgence to the childrens wildest ideas, that its okay to shout down speakers and protest the idea that some people come. Ing you dont really doctor have to work that hard on your grades because were all winners if we just take part and get participation if awards. Grade inflation. Again, indulgence by different Faculty Members as dan was talking about, many of whom, with by the way, are out there taking part in these protests right now and giving these students a aid and comfort in the belief that a if theyre actually hauled up for discipline because these Faculty Members sit on disciplinary boards that nothing will happen to them. Theres a lack of grownups on campus, and this has been going on for way too long. And i remember when we had this discussion a couple months bang about the ivy league add a morers and whether or not theyd made statements that were appropriate enough attacking what happened in israel. But we said at the time if you do not actually have fundamental change, its not good enough to have some people step down and issue a statement. You have to have root and Branch Reform at these places. Paul kyle, of course, this isnt true of all a, you know, students and all institutions. But i hire a lot of these [laughter] young people, and theyre terrific. Okay . And theyre openminded and so on. But we had an interesting oped this week from ira stoll who reported that some of these activists at these schools, theyre paid to be fulltime activists, fulltime protesters. Rock feller brothers fund, for example, george soros foundations. So when you ask the question, well, dont these people have jobs, well, they do. Its to be activists. [laughter] right. And then those people provide the spark that attracts other people on campus who are interested in the activism lifestyle. I mean, theres a whole spectrum of students on campus, and so its easy to paint with too broad a brush. The other thing i keep thinking is dont we have with finals coming up . Arent any of these people worried about a failing their classes . Are they having Protest Study Groups . Do they go yell about israel at the encampments and then go back into the tent and study their organic chemistry books . My guess is next. Paul im not sure organic chemistry is on their [laughter] exactly. Kim mentioned Grade Inflation a moment ago, and there was a fascinating story last fall in the Yale Daily News that the average gpa at a yale is 3. 7, and 79 of the grades given out are as or as. That is astounding. So part of the answer here, i think, for College President s is to enforce the law, enforce the rules. But another part might be give these kids some more homework, give them something to do. [laughter] paul boy, oh, boy. The First Amendment stakes here, dan ive got about 45 seconds left is, make, explain to people why this isnt simply a matter of free peach. Rights for people in these protests Free Speech Rights. Well, Free Speech Rights usually requires the government to be impinging on somebodys Free Speech Rights. Most of these campuses are private cam pauses and theres no the real constitutional right to free peach under those circumstances, broadly speaking. There should be dialogue, people should be able to have controversial points of view. But what youre seeing here is, its ironic that they claim these are free speech exercise because they are suppressing, actively, opposing opinions against theirs on the issue of gaza and palestine. So these people are a long way from being defenders of free speech. Paul and when it crosses the line into with disruption and blocking people from attending classes and so on, that is also not a free speech issue. When we come back, President Biden eases sanctions on venezuelan oil, but he slaps new restrictions on Energy Production here at home. Finish alaska senator dan sullivan on the administrations latest attack on his state, next. My physician referred me to a Hand Specialist. And im glad he did, because when i took the tabletop test, i couldnt lay my hand flat anymore. The first Hand Specialist i saw only offered surgery. So, i went to a second Hand Specialist who also offered Nonsurgical Options which felt more right for me. So, what id say to other people with dupuytrens contracture is this dont wait find a Hand Specialist trained in Nonsurgical Options, today. I found mine at findahandspecialist. Com. Business. Its not a ninetofive proposition. Its all day and into the night. Its all the things that keep this world turning. The gotos that keep us going. The places we cheer. And check in.

Get started for 49. 99 a month plus ask how to get up to an 800 prepaid card. Dont wait call today. If. Paul the Biden Administration continued its regulatory assault on domestic Energy Production this week with the ep if a a issuing sweep ising new rules on thursday that could force many of the countrys coalfired power plants to shut down unless they undertake costly upgrades. Those rules come a week after the Interior Department blocked new oil and gas leasing on more than 13 if million acres in alaska as National Petroleum reserve and threw up new hurdles to critical mineral production in that state, moves that my next guest says endanger u. S. National security. Republican senator dan sullivan, alaska, joins me now. Welcome, senator. So explain to me or good morning, paul. Paul how something called the National Petroleum reserve can be blocked from exploring for petroleum. Well, it shouldnt be. The move was not if only illegal, the Biden Administration does not have the authority to do that. Its National Security suicide with regard to one of our nations great strengths which is energy and Natural Resources. And, paul, this is something thats so entou
