Crime. Both of those things have been lacking. This is the kind of taste with any other judge the next step if they cant present evidence that really identifies what the underlying crime that was committed and remember, cohens testimony is not enough to satisfy that come with any other judge it would have been dismissed before got to jury. John while they show no sign of following your thinking is a lot ahead we will see more of you think you so much. Appreciated. Now this. [chanting] john lives looks at universities and around the country and also to capitol hill warehouse Speaker Mike Johnson will outline plans to crackdown on antisemitism on American College campuses. Sandra at this hour as we do watch the protests continue, john, columbia is threatening to expel students who broke into a building and wont leave. They have started suspending students camping out on the quad so they say, write john . John so they say and yet they dont seem to back that up with any sort of action. That that still begins our second hour im john roberts in washington. Sandra, its unusual to see all of this continuing for so long if there are no signs of it stopping. Sandra i can imagine if expulsions have begun if someone is expelled from the school we will hear from them. I have not heard any outrage from any of those protesters who felt they had the right to do what they did, and then were expelled for it so we will see if any action is being taken. Im sandra smith in new york this is America ReportsColumbia University students are on edge after dozens breached that main Academic Building. This is the video that shows those Protesters Shattering Windows and barricading the doors. John complete coverage starts now we will speak to two College Students witnessing these violent protests in realtime. Sandra and Alexis Mcadams live outside Columbia University in new york city so alexis what are you seeing inside here today . Speak on the other side of campus gates in the upper west side, send her there are more protests here though we chose this location to show you Hamilton Hall which you can check out right over here over my shoulder we will zoom in on it this is the building all the action happened in last night. We left campus before midnight here and there was not a lot of action, but on the other side these students then decided to smash the windows using a hammer and go right in saying they were Liberating The Building even trying to change the name, check it out. [chanting] speak of the demonstrators handing a banner from Hamilton Hall the banner reading free palestine saying they are renaming it after a 6yearold palestinian child killed in gaza a few months ago so it has been chaos after across the country and we are checking with students who really have had enough of this, right . Including a Freshman Student here, tell us a little bit about what you think is going on on your campus, its your first year you are probably excited to come here its a great school to academically. What do you think about what is happening here . Im disillusioned i worked my often high school to come here and i realize there is no academic integrity. There is clearly lacking in morality. In the students here definitely overstated. Its upsetting. Last night there was complete anarchy. Students broke into Hamilton Hall, they broke a window and then they barricaded their rooms. Than they actually abducted a Maintenance Worker who had to fend for himself and fight the students. These students also formed a human chain link around a jewish student and they basically surrounded him and that is harassment in my book and any book. It is really frustrating and very disheartening. When you saw the video i woke up and saw that action you can see them using a hammer, they were also had people like their own little film crew trying to capture all the action. Were you shocked or kind of expecting because they did not clear out at 2 00 and listen to the president of the university were you expecting it to escalate like that . Nothing escalates merely more. It is more hostile we see more instances of physical assault and harassment are not the president these kids are brainwashed under the guise of Social Justice and they truly believe they are liberating palestine but this does nothing for palestinians. All it does is polarize everyone on campus and targets jews and this is the most destructive thing someone can do. Is a jewish student who chose this university do you wish you would have chosen Columbia University question marks big i mean i made some great friends here and really cool people here especially the international students, shut up to them also my jewish friend the crude Jewish Community has very strong but i want to be a college kid. I kind of regret coming here i which dumb i feel like i am in a place of rotting to its core and its frustrating. How do you think the president of the university has handled it and do you think she should step down question works because i dont think on the got a comment on that. I dont know if she should step down but i do think she has been too double medic and too neutral always extending deadlines theres a lot of lip service saying things like we dont tolerate speech that incites violence or harassment toward members of our community but then every other day they are chanting of death to zionist state. Peer there are chance of we dont want zionist here we want october 7 to happen over and over again so it seems the fact is protected. It seems they are operating with lip service. Its frustrating. I just want people to wake up. This is insane. I laugh because i think its ridiculous and gets more and more absurd each day. And to take a look if we have that video, you guys from what is happening on the campus still so the 2 00 deadline hit yesterday, its been a full day past and you still see tents set up. I dont know if youre looking at it right now but you can see theyve only removed a few dozen tents. You think the student should be expelled . Absolutely they should be expelled. Imagine you had a bunch of White Supremacist students chanting for the death of black students on campus what would happen to them . I think theyll be expelled immediately and rightfully so. And you see james was under backlash after he chanted for scientists to die and how they dont deserve to live and it took three months to kick the student offcampus. That video from three months ago and the meeting was in january so i mean i dont really understand this double standard. If i was doing anything these students were doing i would be under deep trouble. We have a question too, sandra you can tell me and i will tell him. Sandra incredibly powerful interview, alexis. Thank you for bringing us know whats words here. The intellectual integrity of this institution that his parents are paying for, alexis has he heard of any students or fellow students getting expelled or suspended or facing any consequences whatsoever . Have you heard of any students getting expelled or suspended yet . Has that been on social may have you heard of anyone in your class who is not at graduation if you even have one . I heard some students are suspended but i heard A Bentley From Last Night No action has been taken up against those who assault the minutes worker or committed vandalism i mean these are crimes why arent they getting punished . Thank you for setting this we have heard from so many students on campus. Thank you for bringing him to us we will see you again sho shortly. John lets hear from a couple more students. In washington, d. C. , nick bomb is a freshman and we just heard from noah in columbia so let me go to sarah first. We had our Griff Jenkins on campus. I think of where griff is on campus but he is a fine fellow but what is the situation at g. W. And as a jewish student on campus how are you feeling about the environment that you are learning in . Yes, thank you so much for having me today. Being a proud jew on campus is challenging right now. We are trying to be students we are trying to take our finals and as a student i feel unsafe to walk around on campus with my mcginn to feed and my tag to simply bring the hostages home. There is no way these students are wanting to talk to us. They are only here to disrupt us. It is a really unsettling environment for all of us right now. Sandra next, this is also your first year what is it been like for you . Thank you for having me. I have to echo Everything Sarah said. I simply feel unsafe on campus because when you have as many protesters completely masked up concealing the identity breaking into Hamilton Hall where i have had several classes before when they physically abuse a facilities worker and when they wave a banner that reads antifodder i think of my own safety first and how its completely compromised by obscene instigation on campus. And it really is a scary. I am weighing my options right now as to whether or not i should leave campus altogether. John let me get sarah and then next to both weigh in on this. The yearly tuition there minus living costs, 66,000 year end g. W. 20222023 was nearly 63,000 a year. So, sarah you go first then that, do you feel like youre getting your moneys worth . You know, this is a funny thing i am playing around with in my head a little bit. Right now, no. Right now i think its disgraceful what is happening. There is no way that if jewish students can and not feel safe how are we supposed to learn . We are here at university and at college to get a degree. If we do not feel safe to complete our assignments and do our own work where we paying f for . John nick . Yes, the answer is no. When i first arrived here on campus i never would have expected myself to be barred from entering columbias campus. Right now everybody outside of the campus is unable to access it at all. That is the result of the administrations ultimate feeling they cannot guarantee the safety of this. Speed sandra one thing that has kept the police from coming on is a private area they need to be called on but if you feel threatened or something happens to you where it is a Strong Enough offense you want to call the police, you can and they would have to come on the campus. Are any of the students getting to that point where they are just calling the police and on their own . No. That is not happening because of the lack of response of the police. Unfortunately, there have been instances where we are actively calling upon the mayor. I am a proud member of g. W. For israel and we have recently created a petition to send it to the mayor to urge her to bring in support. We have students who are trying to walk across campus to cvs and they are being attacked and verbally abused being called Dirty Zionists how is that a Safe Environment . The police clearly dont want to help us. Sarah and nick we wish you well we hope you stay safe there. Lets catch up with you another time. Sandra just a moment ago this was live in the courthouse. As we said you walked back in around the same time every day they have a lunch break 2 1 2 112 12 the former president just walked back in in new york city he did not speak to karen as he typically waits and does that in the morning and waits until after Court Adjourns in the afternoon, john.

John new York Governor Kathy Hochul talking about the protest their University Campuses in new york lets listen in. Just a couple of weeks ago. Cornell tech is one of the signature i mean early pioneers in this. They have asked me what is convenient for us and also i saw the significance was important in those very freedoms we are all entitled to. Anything else on ai . Lets m move on to the off topi. Are you concerned the use of the National Guard . What i have set all along is that will ensure the safety of all students but the primary responsibility falls in the university. If the Universe University decides to call in Additional Support they have called in nypd. Nypd has over 36,000 welltrained professionals who have artie been who are available, so if an nypd enters in a circumstance they cannot handle, which i do not ever foresee, we have state police and other resources available. The primary responsibility does follow the Policing Agencies were municipality continues. If they are going to be at columbias request at the moment nothing else is going to have an. Sandra now to capitol hill gone mike johnson is announcing a house wide crackdown on antisemitism on College Campuses must listen here. Inside of the Academic Buildings. They fought with the Maintenance Crew there. They assaulted students. They broke their windows, destroyed property, hung an antifight of mitt dont want banner from the building and the Law Enforcement was nowhere to be found. We are told nypd is outside the perimeter of the campus but they are not invited in. They will not go until they are invited. What University Officials are waiting on . What do they need to see before they stand up to these Terrorist Sympathizers which is exactly what they are . What is worse is that columbias choice to ignore the safety of their jewish students and appease antisemites has inspired even more hate filled protests to pop up around the country. What we are seeing right now is people wave hezbollah flags and hamas flags, there are homemade on october 7th its outrageous hamas endorsed the protest at Columbia University. Just about two hours before we walked out on wednesday. They are proudly chanting things like Death To America and profanity and hate filled slogans. This is utterly despicable. It cannot be accepted in this country. Antisemitism is a virus. And because the administration and woke University President s are not stepping in, we are seeing it spread. We have to ask. House republicans will speak to this faithful moment with clarity. We really wish those in the white house would do the same. We will not allow antisemitism to thrive on campus and we will hold these universities accountable their failure to protect jewish students on campus. Thats why today we are here to announce a house wide effort to crack down on antisemitism on College Campuses. Nearly every committee here has a role to play in these efforts to stop the madness. Joining me today are my colleagues in leadership as well as Committee Chairs of the committees of appropriate jurisdiction and we will elaborate on what we have been doing this whole of the house effort. The federal government plays a Critical Role in Higher Education and we will use all the tools available to us to address this. With that i will turn it over for us to House Republicans here who has been doing extraordinary work on this issue for a number of years. Thank you so much to our speaker. I want to thank the speaker as well as Chairwoman Fox for visiting Columbia Universitys campus last week to highlight moral leadership that is s
