This is americas late news, fox news at night speed to breaking tonight that anti israel anti American AntiPolice Demonstrations are continuing at Columbia University and across the east coast with protesters acting much bolder even saying the quiet part out loud. Trace so far more than 100 students have been arrested nine google employees were also taken away in handcuffs and 28 were fired after storming the companys offices and holding an anti israel said in. Google ceo summed it up by saying this is a place of business. Maybe the nation is finally signalling enough is enough. Here in new york protesters at Columbia University are vowing to hold the line, descending on a campus lawn once again unfazed by thursdays mass arrest at a declared to gaza solidarity encampment. Today demonstrators including activist. Marched to the University Chanting with signs and flags. Watch. While the University Officially dismantled the encampment, students remain in the quote Liberated Zone are calling on the school to cut ties with Israeli University and divest from companies with ties to israel. They pledge to remain untold demands are met despite university rules. Jewish students say its creating a harsh and hateful atmosphere on campus. I feel like im not wanted here. A feels like everyone who isnt exactly like me hates me and doesnt care what i have to say. I tried to converse with a lot of these people and their response was i dont converse with zionists. The white house responding to the mass arrest calling the antijewish rhetoric unacceptable. We understand at this time its incredibly painful for Many Americans and at the same time its important for schools to protect students. It is one of the things that we have to do on their campuses. Students should feel safe. All indications point to protesters on Campus Posting that. Theyve been told they can remain on the campus lawn as long as no tents are pitched. Trace cant imagine one classmate saying to another i dont converse with zionists. Its amazing. Lets bring in proisrael activist. Its great to have you on the show. We had one classmate saying to another i dont converse with zionists. You have to listen closely because its kind of difficulty here. This is a columbia protester talking about october 7th happening more often. Watch. Trace if you didnt hear it, never forget october 7th. That will happen not. But 10,000 times. The 7th Of October is going to be every day for you. What do you say to these people . First of all thank you for having me and i say that they are a few weeks ago there was a line between pro palestinian and hamas. That line is being blurred. Those kids are seeing saying they are they are hamas. This is so outrageous. Columbia is just playing into it by allowing the kids there without their tents, big deal. Its nice outside im a new york the weather is fine. That is not hurting anybody the protesters to say just stay out there. It is beyond outrageous that jewish students, all students have to be scared like that girl that you showed. It is ridiculous what is going on. Trace to your point i want to put this up there because this is a proisrael columbia student who wrote the following in the new york post. I had a Front Row Seat to the Liberated Zone madness at Columbia University. These were no righteous Freedom Fighters though they are surely selfrighteous. These are radicals receiving 90,000 a year education and throwing temper tantrums. And they are getting angrier and they are getting bolder by the day. I dont think that the police in new york are handling this. I think that maybe they need to call in the National Guard i dont know why the administration is allowing for it. They keep playing games. These kids, the protesters are not playing games. Look at whats on the screen. Trace dont you see my guest says this is part of the strategy that they want the police to come in and want to be arrested. Just like some of the protests we saw during the george floyd wyatts. The more they are arrested the more they can say look we are being targeted we dont have our freespeech rights. They need to stop what is happening at columbia. Let the kids go back to class. Most kids at columbia want to go and learn. That is what they are therefore and they want to go to class. The focus has to be taken at the protesters let the kids go back and learn. Its outrageous. If i had a student at columbia right now and my daughter graduated from there. It is so expensive what these parents are paying and to let this go on its disrupting school. Students are. She is there because she is not relevant anymore up your she wants to become relevant. Trace and she says nonsensical things. Thank you for coming on the show, we appreciated. Fears over an escalating war in the middle east are easing tonight as the fighting between israel and iran appears to be on i pause. So far there are no more threats or statements of retaliation from either side but experts warn it is early. Live with the very latest on the limited but effective strike. Today was a much calmer day between israel and iran after the news broke right here on the show last night. Theyve fired limited strikes on iran. This morning a radiant protesters held signs that red down with israel. The demonstrations coming just hours after an israeli strike on and irani and province which houses a Nuclear Facility that is used to enriching uranium. The strike was israels warning to around that they have the ability to strike Irans Nuclear facilities. Today american officials did not have much reaction to the overnight strikes. Secretary of state Anthony Blinken reiterated support for israel and set hamas holds ultimate responsibility d. Escalating the conflict. The only thing standing between the gazan people and a ceasefire is hamas. It has rejected generous proposals from israel, it seems more interested in a regional conflict then is in a ceasefire that would immediately improve the lives of the palestinian people. Trace today the white house would not comment on whether it had knowledge of the attacks but it did emphasize the relationship between President Biden and israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu is strong. The president and the Prime Minister have a longstanding relationship that goes decades. Because of that longstanding relationship they are able to speak very honestly with each other and have Difficult Conversations when its necessary. Several measures have been introduced in the u. S. House and senate to publicly condemn irans initial attack on israel last weekend. Trace lets bring in the foreign desk editorinchief and Fox News Contributor and former trump Foreign Policy advisor. It just baffles me that 24 hours, the time that she spoke it was about 18 hours. Twentyfour hours after this no comment. Not commenting about this at all i know theres a lot of interest in reports from the middle east overnight. We understand that and get that. Im going to say it now though i know you all will certainly ask me about it that we do not have any comment on the reports at this time. Trace you told around dont and israel dont, they both did and now you cant come forth and say this is the deal or the strategy, heres whats happening. Do we deserve a comment on this . I think we do but its more disturbing for me what secretary blank inside. This is all about hamas. It is the one that has escalated this conflict and it is the one that can stop it. It is iran. We needed to hear it from him not the white house spokesperson. That wouldve been good. The fact that the Secretary Of State is doing Shuttle Diplomacy and cant unequivocally finger iran as the source of this conflict. Remember trace at the beginning of this war on october 7th, the biden white house. Maybe iran is not directly involved. Trace thats exactly what they said. Or telling us that iran we cant trace it. The reality is this is about one country. And its attempt to menace not just israel and the United States and europe at the entire free of the west. Trace it shows that the white house has literally lost control. They are telling people to do things and they all do these things and you wonder how they get the control back to. Everyone is talking about what was the conversation that happened between netanyahu and President Biden that led to the retaliation and also going into rafah. Israel had to do the deterrence that the white house failed to do all along. Had the white house started the deterrence at the podium and not given the concession to irans regime. We wouldnt be where we are. Where irans regime is putting billions of dollars into its Terror Proxies In The Shadow war that it has been conducting on israel for more than a decade. It did not start october 7th. Trace they say dont and they have been wrong. They write the following. He says it appears we are closer than ever to a broad regional war despite the fact that the International Community will most likely make a great effort to deescalate tensions. Are we closer than ever to a bigger war . Weve been in a broader regional war for a long time. October 7th just underscored the point. The Biden Administration by attempting to restart the iran nuclear deal, take sanctions i think ignore the fact that this war has been going on. Some call it a shadow war, others call it a twilight war. Irans attempt to destabilize israel by using proxies in lebanon, syria, iraq, yemen, this is not new. This has been a wider war for a long time. If you just think about this year, the fact that the houthis have attempted drone and rent drone a missile strikes against iran. What they have succeeded is that the wider conflict of disrupting global trade in the red sea. Trace thats what everyones worried about. My last question to you would be it seems to me that israel is telling iran we can reach you. We can reach you. This was a signal like you are not going to reach. The simultaneous attacks not only. If you want to reach us by proxy we will meet you there. If you want to reach us from the iran soil we will meet you there. The one thing want to point to his thigh the naivety. And not deterring our enemies. In not calling Radical Islam what it is. For 45 years the iranian people have been trying to tell us that we have to get rid of the regime right now people are so worried about isis and the a lot the Islamic State. The original Islamic State is the Islamic Republic that is inside iran and for 45 years weve allowed this to happen. Trace thank you both. Meantime Opening Statements in the firstever criminal trial against president set to begin on monday. Jury selection now complete in the hush money case against donald trump. Outside the courthouse with what we can expect. Good evening. Good evening to you. You mentioned the jury is seated and Opening Statements will happen on monday of next week. Former President Trump is not happy with how things are going. He posted on truth social saying he feels like hes being railroaded and that tension between he and the judge as well as his lawyers appeared to be on full display at the end of court today. There were a few notable moments the judge told trumps lawyers that they can no longer challenge all of his decisions in an effort to delay the trial and then former President Trump stood up at the end of court perhaps too early and the judge told him to sit right back down. After court tonight trump talked about how he feels he is being treated unfairly and how he thinks this is election interference directed by president joe biden. Whats happening here with the judicial system is in outrage. Its a Giant Witchhunt to try and hurt a campaign that is. Trump is also frustrated with the courts a gag order. He said the others can talk about him like his former lawyer Uncle Keohane but he cant respond. They accused trump of violating the gag order several times on social media. They will decide on any possible punishment on tuesday of next week but trump is upset with the pace of the trial. s team filed a motion to delay but it was denied appeared trump says thats no coincidence. The trial starts on monday. The judge wants us to go as fast as possible. You mentioned the rounding out of the jury. Today the court selected five additional alternate jurors. For women and one man. That means all 12 jurors and six alternates are now sworn in and ready for those Opening Statements on monday. Check this out, a disturbing moment this afternoon. A man lit himself on fire outside the courtroom and we have mugshots from his prior arrest in florida last year. Take a look at this. He is in Critical Condition at the burn centre. He came to new york from florida within the past week and posted Conspiracy Theories online. He walked directly into the park and began to throw pamphlets in the air and lit himself on fire. We do not believe this was targeting any particular person or any particular group. Were labelling it as a Conspiracy Theorist and were going from from there. The investigation will continue. Very disturbing trace. You heard their police dont believe that he was motivated specifically by this trial involving former President Trump you mentioned Opening Statements happening on monday. The judge promises a decision before then on what prosecutors can bring up if trump ends up testifying which is something that he has indicated that he plans on doing. Trace live outside the courthouse thank you. Lets bring in criminal defence attorney. Great to have you. He was saying that point the former president is frustrated about the gag order. Here is what he had to say. They are taking away my right to speak. Im not allowed to say it. Its very unfair that my Constitutional Rights have been taken away. Trace it is unusual that he can say anything about Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels yet they can go on their podcast and msnbc and say anything they want. Its very rare to have this especially in a criminal trial. Basis of this type of objection or control is to make sure a potential jury pool is not tainted. We have a jury already selected so thats not a concern. Also witnesses. We dont want witnesses to be swayed or threatened. In this case there is no evidence of that. This is a very clear attempt successful attempt so far to violate Donald Trumps constitutional First Amendment right. It is as clear as day. Ive only been doing it a little bit over 22 years and i will tell you ive never had a case where this has happened, especially within the microcosm of the prosecution grabbing the microphone every opportunity they can. Be to it seems like a lot of firsts in this case. Foxnews. Com writes the following they said unless they are ordered to they will not sure Witness Names with trumps defence. Prosecutors said they would agree to release one name to Defence Counsel on sunday night. I know its a courtesy for attorneys and they often extended. This doesnt seem like a trial where theres going to be any courtesy between the two sides. Its also a guarantee of our due process rights. The defence has to be prepared. The government has just a myriad of information from which they can select the pieces of evidence they want to present to the factfinder. The defence like in federal cases where there is no right to defensive discovery until the witnesses are sworn in and testify, that is whats happening in this case. There is no way to deny the fact that this severely handicapped the defence. Trace he was talking about a man who lit himself on fire. Seems that the Gravitational Pull of the Trump Melodrama that has gripped the nation since he came down the escalator is now it appears resulting in some people coming to that spot where protesters have gathered and lit himself on fire. The Gravitational Pull. All of a sudden the melodrama thats been going on caused that it gets tiresome. If you hear it enough you have a tendency to believe it and this is the danger with this type of Misinformation Being put out there. This is an individual who clearly has mental illness. You look at his employment history he was working for a couple of democrat legislators. Thats his history. If he is claiming theirs a deep state or some Conspirator Theory one would query what that is founded on. Heart goes out to his family to see that sort of thing happening. Quite a distraction but clear sign of mental illness. Trace thank you
