Clashes as more propalestinian protest emerge on College Campuses across the country. I will talk with two lawmakers who have met with students on the front lines of the action at Columbia University, North Mina Kimes woman catherine banning, and Jerome Bowman will join me to discuss what they have heard from students. Headed courtroom, with donald trump is really doing during his hush money election interference trial. We were there, in the room where it happened. Join me for the inside story. Dunking on trump, colin jobst headlined last nights White House Correspondent dinner. Can we acknowledge how refreshing it is to see a president of united dates at an event that does not begin with the bailiff saying all rise . This is The Sunday Show. Protests against the Israel Hamas War are continuing to spread across College Campuses and officials are ramping up their response. Yesterday, Law Enforcement arrested more than 200 people at four different universities. So far, propalestinian encampments have sprung up at roughly 40 campuses across the u. S. And canada. Protesters want their universities to divest from companies that support israels actions in gaza and, they want a ceasefire. There has been growing concern among jewish students who say that the protest have veered into antisemitism. The demonstrations have remained largely peaceful, but things were tense earlier today at ucla with dueling protests sparked clashes. Join me now from uclas nbc news correspondent, adrienne broaddus. What is the scene like right now . Reporter the scene has shifted. Behind me, you see a line of police. These are Campus Police and members of Law Enforcement who formed a line to separate the two groups. There have been clashes throughout the day and the tone has shifted. Behind the Campus Police at the front of the line, behind us, theres extra enforcement just now coming in. You see those members of Law Enforcement with their shields and other riot gear. Now, there has been pushing and shoving throughout the day. There was a protest, a rally planned by members in support of israel, but before that rally even got underway, there were propalestinian demonstrators who rushed in and really took over the area that the university officials, here at ucla, created for those folks with the pro israel supporters. They brought in a big stage, youll see some of that video with loud speakers, essentially, to silence the pro Palestinian Protesters who have been camping out, since thursday. Do you know how long the protesters plan to stay . Reporter we have been asking that question repeatedly, all weekend. The organizers and folks who are sleeping in tents, they tell me they plan to stay until their demands are met. To be quite frank, some of those demands are out of the control of university officials. For example, calling on a cease fire. They are also asking that the university officials, leaders at ucla, and other campuses across the country divest. They want them to divest their support. Back to you. Adrienne broaddus, thank you. Reporting from the ucla campus in los angeles. One of the epicenters of the protest has been Columbia University in new york. Joining me now is congresswoman Kathy Manning of North Carolina who met with students at Columbia University. She is also the cochair of the House Bipartisan Task force for combating antisemitism. Thank you for joining us. What did you hear from students that you spoke with . We talked with jewish students who have been harassed, intimidated, and felt like they were unable to walk through the quad to get to classes, to get to the library, trying to study in the library with serious chance and drum beating going on, hour after hour. It made it very difficult for them to study for exams, and not only was there an email from Campus Rabbis advising them to go home, to stay away from campus, the university actually arranged to have hybrid classes, which was frankly, an acknowledgment of how out of control things have gotten on the campus and how intimidating this hostile environment has been, which is created by protesters. What form did the harassment take . What did they say . There were students who were shoved, students who were spat upon, students who were prohibited from going where they were trying to get by protesters forming a human chain. There were also chants and banners, calling for the destruction of the state of israel, calling for the elimination of israelis, from the river to the sea. I think what was most intimidating, to so many students, is these protesters are not calling for a two state solution. They are not calling for the release of hostages. They are protesting in support of a genocidal government, hamas, that invaded israel, slaughtered people, and it is hamas, of course, that has refused five different settlement offers. They have refused to do Cease Fire Offers that israel has made. The ceasefire offers have been supported by the united states, so these protests are extremely intimidating, calling for, frankly, the elimination of the state of israel, and no acknowledgment that israel, our democratic ally and the homeland of the jewish people, has a right to exist. Im wondering, the students that you spoke to, did they say , did they have anything to say about the humanitarian crisis in gaza, which, extensively, is what the proPalestinian Protesters say they are all about . Absolutely. Everyone we talked to want there to be more aid brought into the palestinians, they want relief for the Palestinian People. They acknowledged that the fastest way to get relief into the Palestinian People is for hamas to release the hostages and surrender. That is the impediment to getting relief into the Palestinian People, and frankly, to starting the rebuilding of gaza, if hamas would release the hostages and surrender. Congresswoman, do you think the antisemitic chance, or language that you heard, was it coming from socalled Outside Agitators or Student Protesters . One of the things that we heard from the jewish students is that the university has refused to go into the encampment to determine who are students and who are Outside Agitators. Although the campus is locked down and you need student i. D. To get in, we were told that there were Outside Agitators who came through either a gap in the fence, crossed over, or who were actually being let in to different doors of School Buildings so that they could come in from the outside and get into the encampments. There is reason to believe that there are Outside Agitators among the students. One more question, congresswoman. Some jewish leaders on the Biden Administration to step up its response to antisemitic incidents on College Campuses. What exactly could the administration do . Well, i have introduced a bipartisan, bicameral bill, that would implement much of the Biden Administration has in its National Strategy to combat antisemitism. My bill would both appoint a national coordinator, in the white house, to make sure that all of the administrative agencies are doing what is necessary to combat Anti Semitism. My bill would also appoint a special official in the department of education, who would report directly to the secretary of education, would monitor antisemitism on College Campuses, make students aware of the universitys obligations under title vi of the Civil Rights Act and would make sure that students know that they can file claims of discrimination under title vi. It is a comprehensive bill, and we have bipartisan support, and we have a bipartisan letter that we have sent to the speaker asking him to bring his bill to the floor. All right, congresswoman Kathy Manning of North Carolina, thank you for coming to The Sunday Show. Joining me now to continue this conversation is Congressman Bowman of new york who visited the encampment at Columbia University friday. Thank you for joining us. What did you hear from Student Protesters on friday . Well, thank you for having me. I visited the encampment and spoke to many of these so called proPalestinian Protesters, there, and what they reiterated was their demands, and their demands are the end of the collective punishment, that is taking place right now in gaza. Remember, we have 100,000 people either killed or injured during this assault that has been happening in gaza since october 7th. They reiterated those demands to me, and they showed me around the encampment. There was food, there was water, there was coffee, a library, there was departmental help. They shared with me, in terms of ways i can support their peaceful protest. I want to emphasize that, it was completely peaceful when i was there. Its important to note that i met with students who identify as proisrael, as well. It wasnt just encampment students, there were other students identified as pro israel and we had a great conversation. I wanted to know, you know, how severe and consistent have you seen instances of Anti Semitism . They said those instances were very rare, in terms of what they have seen and heard, and they said that it was hard for them to differentiate between was it coming from students or Outside Agitators. Thats one point of clarification. No Outside Agitators were present in the encampment when i was there. Many of the students identify as proisrael and were in the encampment. I wanted to make sure that the conversation was with them as well, to hear the other side. It was a good, collective conversation and i hope to have more conversations with them and i hope there are more conversations with each other, going forward. Im glad that you answered a question i was about to ask you, about, were the only students in the encampment. You got that answer for me, which is yes, only students, no one from the outside of Columbia University. I am just wondering, in your conversations with the pro Palestinian Protesters, did they say anything about hamas standing in the way of getting a hostage deal or a ceasefire or anything about the attacks on october 7th . That was not part of my conversation, when i was there, though i have seen some of the students interviewed and read their statements, and they condemn the attacks of october 7th. What they are talking about, as what is happening right now and what has been happening prior to october 7th is the continued support of the state of israel and benjamin netanyahu, even though there was a blockade in gaza, prior to october 7th, many Human Rights Organizations have referred to israel as an apartheid state, based on their research and their work, there. Also, the Military Occupation has been in place for several decades, but their demands are rooted in our continued taxpayer support for the oppression and suppression of the Palestinian People. When they call for a free palestine, its about ending the occupation, ending the so called apartheid state, and ensuring that there is a pathway to peace and freedom, because not only do we have the continued bombing of gaza, we have famine that is setting in, as well, and its a nightmare in gaza, as we all know. One more question for you. What is your reaction to speaker johnson sang the National Guard should be called in of colleges and universities, like columbia, Cannot Get Protest under control . I think speaker johnson is disingenuous, in terms of really caring about Anti Semitism. He does not care about Anti Semitism. He cares about the repression of critical thinking, the repression of independent thought, and the attack on liberal education. That is what he is concerned with, which aligns with maga across the country, banning books, attacking critical race theory. Congressman of new york, thank you. Thank you.

Trumps hush money trial resumes on tuesday, we will learn more about the financing for his alleged election interference scheme. Prosecutors in the case officially named, the people of the state of new york against donald j trump, a trump falsified Business Records an effort to sway the 2016 president ial race. These are charges trump has continuously and vigorously denied from the manhattan courthouse hallway. Banking executive, gary farrow, will be back on Stand Tuesday to testify about how michael paid off Stormy Daniels. According to the manhattan district attorney, michael took out a Home Equity Loan to come up with the cast that financed the payments to cover up trumps alleged dalliance. Presiding judge, judge merchan, will hold another hearing on gag order. Trump has been accused of violating the gag order more than a dozen times, from calling Michael Cohen a liar to claiming that the jury is 95 democrat. The website predicts that judge merchan will find trump for his comments, writing the most difficult question to answer, however, is whether any finding of contempt and resulting punishment will deter this particular defendant from future violations. Joining me now, adam klotz felt, fellow at just security. He was in the courtroom all week. Adam, great to see you, thank you for joining us.
