7:00 am
know many people and many families that are struggling. look at today right now. what he is calling a climate health deal, look at your southern border down there with all the fentanyl coming across. why don't we solve this? this could be the next new 9/11 coming across with all the drugs. putting them in our water system or do anything to hurt us. and they are doing it with our jobs and people -- people cannot afford electricity. i don't see how people get by. >> dana: there are a lot of people wondering that exact same thing and everyone that's to pay for that electricity to heat and power their lives. >> coal can bring us back to where we are ahead and a super power in oil and gas. >> dana: let's stay in touch. i love talking to you. thank you. >> thank you.
7:01 am
>> dana: happening now on capitol hill jewish students from some of the mostly let universities along with house republicans speaking out about rampant anti-semitism on campus as school leaders face accountability for their responsibility for bias and protests against jewish students. i'm dana perino. >> bill: good morning. big hour. how about bugsy? he could have his own show. minutes from now the presidents of harvard, m.i.t. and university of pennsylvania will be facing pointed questions before the housed indication committee after weeks of bipartisan backlash after allowing anti-semitism. >> dana: students say they don't feel safe on campus and some lawmakers attacked the demonstrations calling them reprehensible. aishah hosni tracking
7:02 am
developments on capitol hill. >> good morning to you both. this hearing could get rowdy. look behind me. the large crowd that is waiting to get into this hearing and in the past you guys have seen it here on fox. some of these hearings get interrupted by protestors and we're already hearing some hecklers here in the hallway. we haven't started yet. the first time the presidents of these universities are on capitol hill since octoberer 7t and since the eruption of anti-semitism in these big protests on their campuses. and so they are facing a very tough crowd in this hearing. take a look. these are the three university presidents we'll see today. we expect house republicans to put the blame squarely on these leaders and the woke ideologies they say are being taught at these schools. meanwhile house democrats will argue that anti-semitism has been on the rise long before october 7th and that the biden administration is taking steps to fight back. the hearing comes, guys, as harvard and upenn both face a
7:03 am
federal civil rights complaint by a jewish advocacy group saying they failed to adequately spent to anti-semitism. calls for u penn's president to resign. donors are threatening to cut after funding to campuses as well. i had a chance to look over the opening statements for these presidents. we expect them, for example, harvard president day to go over the steps she is taking to reject anti-semitism and preserving free speech. they will get to that. hearing hecklers in the hallway, seeing protestors outside. the crowd getting bigger outside this building as well. we'll keep an eye on both those things. >> dana: thank you so much. as we mentioned the house republicans are gathering today ahead of this hearing in order to talk about anti-semitism and what should be done about it. >> bill: that's stefanik at the microphone there. at the same time you'll have pro-palestinian students with a press conference of their own.
7:04 am
this has come to washington. lawmakers are taking it on. see how it shakes down. it has been something to watch across america over the past two months. >> elite institutions including harvard. jewish students are facing sustained attacks from -- >> bill: if you were with us last hour we spoke with a senior at columbia university in manhattan. does she have a story to tell. we'll watch that go down. the hearing gets underway. how will they defend themselves? anti-semitism becoming all too familiar across the country ahead of the first night of hanukkah coming up on thursday. as the war between israel and hamas rages on. the longer the war goes, the more these protests will happen period. a proposal for a lighting ceremony in virginia was rejected. the rabbi getting a text saying unless we could get an is am i can group to participate at the
7:05 am
same time we're about peace, love and light. don't want to make it seem we're choosing a side supporting the killing, bombing of thousands of men, women and children, end quote. virginia's governor glenn youngkin slamming the move as nothing more than hatred of jews. his statement. singling out the jewish community by canceling a hanukkah celebration is absurd and anti-semitic. the event organizers should reconsider their actions and move forward with the menorah lighting is what he said on x, dana. >> dana: in new york city there was this. [shouting] [chanting] >> dana: protestors flooding the williamsburg bridge chanting vile slogans against the jewish state and philadelphia. anti-israel protestors mob a jewish-owned restaurant. the morning shows of abc, cbs
7:06 am
and nbc ignored the anti-semitic hate march yesterday. >> do we believe hamas spokesperson who said that rape is forbidden therefore it couldn't have possibly happened on october 7th? or do we believe the women whose bodies tell us how they spent the last minutes of their lives. this goes beyond politics. if we can't agree that rape is wrong, then we have accepted the unacceptable. then the question will be not what is happening in the middle east, but what is happening to our humanity? when i saw the list of women's rights organizations who have said nothing, i nearly choked. where is the solidarity for women in this country and in this world? >> dana: prominent democratic
7:07 am
women joining the calls to -- their anger comes after deafening silence from the u.n. on the acts of savagery by hamas and after congressman jayapal accused the rape as a weapon of war. bret baier. this is getting heated on capitol hill. there will be a chance for members of congress from both sides of the aisle to question university presidents today because bret, it feels like this is a problem as bill said earlier, we turned over some rocks in the country and what's underneath is not good. >> good morning, dana and bill. i agree who heartedly. i think this has been eyebrow raising across the board the amount of anti-semitism we've seen on college campuses in particular. what's interesting the democratic women speaking out and they are a minority voice inside the democratic party currently. there is a split but they are being very vocal.
7:08 am
sheryl sandberg, kirsten gillibrand and hillary clinton getting praised from some conservatives for standing up and saying all she is saying about how there can't be any kind of double standard or equivalence with israeli women being raped. another interesting thing, the state department yesterday saying that one of the reasons the cease-fire deal or pause deal fell apart was because hamas does not want to release the 18 female hostages being held in gaza for fear they'll tell the stories of what has happened to them in captivity. that's stunning. >> bill: we had a student on from columbia last hour and she is jewish and can't believe what is happening on campus. this is a student from yale earlier today. >> i think with the first, most basic and therefore most easy question that should be addressed is the question of why these universities don't enforce
7:09 am
pre-existing policies against anti-jewish students that they would enforce against other students? on campus, there is essentially no space that is not at risk of being taken over by hostile students. >> bill: these administrators have to answer to that. she was at yale. the yale president isn't there today. you think about kirsten gillibrand what she said and the coalition between sandberg, gillibrand and hillary clinton going up against all the liberal leftist groups. these are the groups who haven't said anything on rape. world health organization, planned parenthood. emily's list, democratic women's caucus, i stand with her, hillary clinton would have stood with all those groups up until now, i think. >> yeah. not only that they point to the fact that vice president kamala harris hasn't spoken out about this part of the atrocities of
7:10 am
october 7th and beyond. you can have concerns about the civilian casualties. you can really express concern about what's happening on the ground in gaza but you also have to acknowledge what happened on october 7th and you have to put the onus on hamas to release those hostages that they have had now for this amount of time. >> bill: bret, thank you. just getting word right now we wereg this republican leadership meeting. dip back in. a jewish student from m.i.t. >> jewish students, publicly declaring that israel has no right to exist, faculty dismissing student concerns for their safety by telling them that if they are scared, they should just go back to israel. caa protestors blocking the hallways, storming the offices of the m.i.t. israel internship offices and harassing staff and faculty and inviting dangerous
7:11 am
outsiders to campus to yell violent chants. the same climate of anti-semitism that has led to masker of jews throughout the cent centuries. this is our lives on the land. the m.i.t. administrations has put it to a faculty committee on discipline and not received a single one of our complaints. m.i.t. has failed to staff a new task force against hate which will combatant i semitism and islamaphobia. this atmosphere is intolerable. president of the university please let me go back to being a scientist. let me go back to being a student. i don't want to have to keep advocating for jewish student safety on campus. it is not my job. it is your job. please do your job and act now
7:12 am
and if you can't, i am asking congress to do it for you. thank you. >> thank you. it is outrageous what is happening at m.i.t. we'll here from bella and tell us what is happening at nyu. >> thank you all for having me and for giving me the opportunity to share with you my story. my name is bella, i am a junior at nyu and i'm going to try to answer the following question for you from my personal experiences. what is it like to be a jew at nyu? being a jew at nyu is walking to class and passing torn and defaced posters of innocent hostages with the words occupier and murdereder written across their faces. going to the library to study and being interrupted by unauthorized protests where students and faculty call for globalized intifada revolution and incitement to violence against jews everywhere and call
7:13 am
for the an ilation of the jewish states. being -- as they say resistance is justified when people are occupied. it is being surrounded by social justice warriors and self-proclaimed feminists whose calls for justice end when the rape victims are jews. being a jew at nyu has meant being physically assaulted in the library by a fellow student while i was wearing an american israeli flag and having the attacker roam free at campus. how dei is not a value that nyu extends to jewish students. since october 7th the unmistakable anti-semis many i have experienced on campus is reminiscent of the jew hatred i heard from my grand parents, holocaust survivors who experienced the deafening
7:14 am
silence of their neighbors in poland and germany when the nazis rose to power. their communities shops were looted, synagogues defaced and finally their families were taken away and perished in concentration camps. today in 2023, at nyu, i hear calls to gas the jews and i'm told that hitler was right. to the nyu administration you are not free to selectively enforce your own rules. you are not free to refuse your jewish students the same protections that you extend to others. nyu has adopted the definition of anti-semitism which recognizes that calls to harm jews in the name of radical ideology, calls to eradicate israel, to deny the jewish people their right to self-determination in their ancestral homeland is
7:15 am
anti-semitism is punishable under the code of conduct. i'm a proud jew and a proud zionist. i am the granddaughter of holocaust survivors. we are not going anywhere. anti-semitism and the support for terror should have no home at nyu or any other college campus. we made the promise of never again and never again is now. thank you. >> so proud of you and we'll stand with you. we'll hear from a university of penn student. >> i am both honored and thankful to be here. i should not be here today. i should be studying for my upcoming finals. i should be taking in every moment, every experience as an undergraduate student in my seniorier of college. i should not be here today but i
7:16 am
am. 36 hours ago i along with most of campus, sought refuge in our rooms as classmates and professors chanted proudly for the genocide of jews while igniting smoke bombs and defacing school property. the university president described it as a brazen display of anti-semitism saying silence in the face of last night's demonstration of anti-semitism and hate near our doorstep is not an option for me. well, the doorstep of the neighboring university is in fact penn. in fact, penn's president did choose silence. the neighboring university's president swiftly denounced the incident and yet our president cannot. because the glorious october 7th and are you a dirty little jew and you deserve to die are words said not by ham yells but classmates and professors. despite all of this, i am
7:17 am
adamant and hopeful that we will not accept least of all embrace this horrific new normal on college campuses today. on october 7th israel was attacked. since october 7th, american jews have been under attack. i am a proud american studying at the university of pennsylvania. i love penn. i have wanted to attend this university since before i can remember. i am here because the penn i attend today is unrecognizable from the penn i once used to know. penn once renowned for groundbreaking discoveries is now a chilling landscape of hatred and hostility. our university revered for its pursuit of knowledge has devolved into an arena where jewish students are unsafe. the situation at penn has escalated into a crisis with students openly asserting their intentions to proceed with plans
7:18 am
with or without university permission. during covid strict guidelines governed everything from class attendance and graduation walks. yet now when students and faculty defy policies to intimidate jewish students, where is the same resolute enforcement? for the past three weeks inside houston hall our student center an anti-semitic headquarters with erected with signs spreading hamas propaganda, the organizers were initially asked to leave as they are trespassing on campus property. three weeks later they are still sleeping there and countless jewish students have been harassed. anti-semitic dormitory remains. both a disregard for school poll seals and permission to disregard them by university unwilling to do anything. not only are tensions palpable but there have been materialized actions taken to intimidate and harm students. a bomb threat. swastika spray painted revision
7:19 am
houses vandalized. a professor, a jewish student accosted. jews are nazis etched to penn's jewish fraternity house. why doesn't the university hold perpetrators of those acts accountable? penn's ambivalence fuels the crisis that has shattered my academic sanctuary. policies meant to safeguard us has become hollow promises and let us be clear, if they fail jewish students today, tomorrow they will fail the rest of us. nonetheless, i refuse to go back to 1939 when jews had to hide their religious symbols and hide who they are due to intimidation and harassment of us. i used to think it was nonsense, fear mongering until i was made aware that penn recommended to students not wear closing accessories related to judaism. hundreds of posters mocking the
7:20 am
hostages featuring cows instead of humans adarned the campus. i was greeted with chalk saying 90% of pigs are gas cham beard. -i do not feel safe. luckily there are policies in place to protect students from the heinous acts i described. the university seems to have no interest in up holding those very policies. it is time for the soul of our university to reclaim its integrity and it's time for me and my fellow classmates to stop worrying for our lives. thank you. >> we'll hear from one more student. they are so well spoken and it sends a shudder down your spine to hear it is happening in america. it is outrageous. jonathan from harvard law will speak next. >> thank you for having me here.
7:21 am
i'm jonathan and currently a student at harvard law school. i would like to share with you what my experience has been like since october 7th at harvard law school and after over 30 student clubs signed on to a statement explicitly blaming israel for the murder and rape of their own people. multiple times a week on my way to class i walk by mobs of people chanting from the river to the sea, which is a call for the destruction of the state of israel. most recently we have you outnumbered, and globalize the intifada. that is an uprising and the last two were marked by blowing up buses and restaurants. one day a few weeks ago i was in a study room in the law school while classes were going on. a mob of 200 people, many of whom not only were not law students, were not harvard
7:22 am
affiliates, got into our building, marched down the halls chanting these phrases. jews took off their -- i watched someone hide under a desk. many of my friends ran up to the dean of students and dei office but they locked their doors for their own safety. this was such a clear safety concern. it was also explicitly against school policy as it disrupted class. we heard nothing from harvard. no email, nothing. i talked to my jewish friends on campus every day and tell me how afraid they are to go to class. they share hate messages. they are receiving from other students on social media including comparing jews to nazis and they ask us and they ask me for safety advice because of the lack of effective communication from the university. so you might ask what is the
7:23 am
administration doing? we have brought them policy violations, proof that they happened and photos of the student handbook that were explicitly violated. responses are empty and meaningless if they respond at all. responses such as we're aware of the situation. this is not how the university would treat other groups. we are happy that harvard has created an anti-semitism advisory board but no transparency about what they do. they seemingly don't have executive power and not accessible to student and i personally asked to meet with them multiple times for weeks and they have not responded to me. no one knows what happens when you send them an incident report. we are not asking to limit free speech. we are asking that the university to enforce their policies, to insure safety and a climate conducive to education. the administration has asked us
7:24 am
to abide by the rules and we have unequivocally. it seems more and more that this rule only applies to jews. as broken rules are not being enforced or reprimanded. i want to be clear, this is not just about the middle east. this is anti-semitism right here in our homes, on our campuses. it is dangerous. it is going unchecked. and everyone that does not join to put a stop to it, is part of the problem. i am asking, as i have been, do something. protect jewish people. protect your students. thank you. >> we want to thank you again,
7:25 am
ladies and gentlemen, they are so courageous and house republicans and millions of the american people empathize and sympathize and applause your courage. you need to go testify in the house education committee. >> these are 21, 22, 23-year-old americans and telling a story that shouldn't happen in america and tell it with such eloquence and passion. they are remarkable young men and women. >> dana: each said they don't feel safe on their campuses. as we wait for this hearing to get underway, the university presidents will have to answer that. in particular there was a message that said they are not trying to call for anything against free speech about someone who might have a different opinion. what they are asking is that the actual laws on the books and the policies on the books at those universities be implemented in order to keep them feeling safe
7:26 am
and for the protests to have to be sanctioned. a lot of them are not. we have heard that from many students. those four young people were very impressive. >> bill: the one woman said it is about our lives being on the line. at the same time you have this, palestinian students with a counter protest on capitol hill. it is a bit of a ping-pong in washington today with each side trying to make their best points. we have talked to numerous students who feel like they don't recognize their school today and 60 days ago they thought they were in a pretty good place. today different story. >> dana: that's right. their big donors and alumni have noticed it as well. these students are speaking now. >> bill: stand by for the administrators from some of the elite schools. the leader of an embattled nation and plea for help. zelensky will address the u.s. senate by video making his case for another round of military
7:27 am
aid before a key vote on $106 billion package. schumer says the stakes could not be higher be putin. >> i ask all senators attend this briefing. in the coming dailies i urge my colleagues to do the right thing and support moving forward on the supplemental package. we can't ever put a price on defending democracy in its hour of need because if ukraine falls, putin will keep on going. >> bill: benjamin hall joins us now. hello to you, the host of the brand-new podcast called "searching for heroes. chuck schumer will try to sell this to the senate and do it in an atmosphere we just saw 30 minutes ago with bill melugin in a place in arizona that really is in the middle of nowhere and there were hundreds and hundreds of single males from all over the world who have just crossed
7:28 am
the border. a lot of republican senators are saying you want this money for ukraine, you better help us with border and immigration. it will be a difficult sell. how do you see it? >> absolutely. you said it earlier. president zelensky sit down with the senate at 3:00 and saying unless we get the aid from the u.s. that ukraine may well lose the war against russia. the time is running out. it is 106 billion but 61 billion of that is for ukraine. the rest of it, when 14 billion for israel and 13 billion for the border. republicans are saying is that needs to rise up. that needs to be bigger. there is a back and forthright now. no doubt ukraine needs the money right now. zelensky will say that like he said in september. we really need it. can they balance these other spending with the $106 billion? interesting to see. president zelensky is having trouble and not getting the money he needs but having trouble at home as well.
7:29 am
earlier this week the mayor of kiev and the former heavey weight champion and called zelensky an auto congratulate. zelensky struggling on the international stage and at home and there is now some call including his own foreign advisors perhaps the time is right for a peace deal. you have a lot of different things happening now. zelensky is in the middle of it saying you can talk about the border and talk about peace deals. unless we get this money, , we get new weapons quickly. the biden administration said the same a couple days ago, they could lose this war. so the timing is running out. the funding already applied to ukraine, that is almost gone. so every single day right now really does count. >> dana: one of the things you hear is there is a question of is the e.u., european nations are they doing their part? from your perspective, how do you answer that? >> for a long time they have relied on the u.s., that's exactly where they stood.
7:30 am
they never hit the 2% spending in nato and what the u.s. has been saying for a while. poland is saying we need to do more as well right now. the head of polish intelligence within the next three years he is afraid of an invasion from russia. e.u. needs to do far more and it is a back and forth. there is concern in europe and nato if president trump was to win in 2024 and ambassador john bolton said it a few days ago that he might leave nato. he said on his campaign website they have to look at the relationship between the u.s. and nato. if that happens nato, europe, have to stand on their own two feet. there is some concern if that were to happen. right now the u.s. continuing to say you need to do more. this is on your borders, you have a bigger role to play. >> bill: meanwhile in the war the battle lines have barely moved in the past several months. ben, i want to introduce your podcast. this is your voice, okay? give this a listen. >> i have would say that i have
7:31 am
seen more incredible resilience and strength in war than out of it. again, reminder that we'll focus on this podcast no matter how bad it is, you have to find a way through. >> bill: a way through that should be the title of your next book. introduce our audience. >> dana: downloading as we speak. >> what was amazing. something terrible happened to me and my team last year. ever since then i have been so inspired by the heroes and people who risk their lives and came to find me and got me to the hospital and doctors and i am amazed at their stories being told. my podcast focuses on them. we have our first guest wife comes on sunday is a guy called rich. he stopped a mass shooting. he was a veteran. ran towards the gunman and stopped him and he has gone on to encourage others to show others how they can be heroes. we spoke to a number of people like that.
7:32 am
i was listening to the jewish students who spoke before me, they are the kind of heroes i want to talk about, too. they think the community is gone but rising up and speaking and trying to get people back together again. terrible things happen in the world. they are happening in israel and ukraine and happened to me. there is no goodness out there and more heroes out there. if we keep talking about them and giving them a voice, then that reminds us what is powerful. it gives the backbone to the country we so need. that's what the podcast is about. the first time i suppose where i get to speak from my heart and speak to the people who matter a lot to me and that i think is what i'll focus on. subscribe, tune in called searching for heroes. i appreciate being on your show as well today to talk about it. >> dana: thank you, benjamin. i just downloaded it. now it will come to my phone every time you post a new one. thank you so much for doing this. great idea. >> thank you very much. >> bill: talk soon. thank you. give you this now. president biden on his way to boston for a high-dollar fundraiser with james taylor.
7:33 am
peter doocy has more from the white house where he just got off spotify. good morning, peter. >> it is very unusual for president biden to go anywhere out of town on a weekday just to raise money for his campaign. usually they will have a fundraiser after an official event. there are no official events on the president's schedule today. we looked at his schedule. it has 1:45 the president participates in a campaign reception. 4:15 p.m. 7:00 same thing. when president biden says i don't look at the economy through the eyes of wall street and park avenue but through the eyes of people i grew up with in scranton, pennsylvania or delaware. he makes an exception for wall street and park avenue tips when they are writing big checks to his campaign. it has been paying off for team biden/harris. most recent numbers show the biden team and dnc combined have $91 million cash on hand. a record for a democrat at this point in an election cycle.
7:34 am
but the good vibes felt by the high dollar donor aren't trickling down to pennsylvania. >> i'm not happy. >> this economy sucks. everything is going up. except paychecks. >> and it's possible some economic policy changes could make people feel better about the economy between now and election day. nothing he can do about his number one vulnerability according to a recent poll, his age. >> bill: quickly, all morning long we've been watching israeli, jewish americans and palestinian protestors on capitol hill. we saw the rally here in new york yesterday with sheryl sandberg and hillary clinton speaking out. how is the white house addressing the divide within the democratic party coming into an election year? >> their position here is to condemn anti-semitism but at the
7:35 am
same time same breath they want to condemn islamaphobia as well. so they see islamaphobia and anti-semitism that deserve equal attention by the president right now. >> bill: we'll see if it happens and when. nice to see you on the north lawn. peter doocy. >> what matters is the way the money was paid to joe biden was directly through influence peddling. now this is the second payment or series of payments to joe biden that came directly from china. there is no disputing that. >> dana: house republicans seizing on financial records that show hunter biden used a business account to send his father a series of payments totaling roughly $4 thousand in 2018. let's bring in kennedy and tyrus. when i looked into it. there was a payment t for a car because he needed to have wheels but couldn't get it on his own because of his addiction problems. is this the smoking gun the republicans say it is? >> if it's not the first son is
7:36 am
dumber than we thought. if he were just wiring money to his dad to repay him for a car payment and a lot of people have been in that situation. they have bad credit and if we're extending him the benefit of the doubt, sure. the problem is there were so many layers of what appears to be very clear money laundering. a bank investigator raised that flag in 2018. you know you are running for president a year and a half, two years out. so vice president and future president should have been very careful if in fact everything was above board. it doesn't look like it was. every layer we hear gets worse and worse for the president. >> bill: how many llcs do you need, right? a.p. has a survey and what they found. 70% of voters believe the president did something illegal or unethical. 40% of democrats believe it was either illegal or unethical.
7:37 am
>> just look at the time frame it was going down. this is what brothers me the most. the small payments. anybody around criminals or drug dealers growing up, when you start sending money it's always small. little amounts to see how much noise you get and then you make the big stuff. they have to keep digging. $4 thousand you can make the argument i was making a car payment or this. but you need to look at the pile. takes a long time to find money but you will keep finding it. this was during the obama administration where president obama was the -- with the exception of trump the most scrutinized president. all eyes were on him. that led vice president biden to be as corrupt as he wanted to be. no matter what he did all the focus would go to obama. we know he is corrupt. we saw the behaviors. we see the amount of money his family has. this guy was in public service for 50 years. he should never have this type of money unless he was doing other things. you know the king of gas was not
7:38 am
getting paid for speeches. where was that money coming from? he was peddling influence through his son and relatives knowing he had the full protection of the first black president and everybody was focusing on that. that's what bothers me the most. >> dana: republicans say they have the votes for impeachment. do you expect that before the end of the year? >> i think they should wait. keep digging and they'll find more. they have found all these entities are linked to each other. i think they can build an even stronger case. what they have to do in order for the country to not be hyper politicized is you have to get democrats on board. the evidence has to be so overwhelming, unlike the two impeachments with the trump administration, that independents, moderates, people in both parties go this is irr
7:39 am
irrefuteable and not acceptable. >> you send $4 thousand the wires but the halliburton briefcase is hand delivered. democrats some have stacks of gold and piles of money. those weren't sent by wires but hand delivered. the paper trail is like it's only $4 thousand, the 4 million was in halliburtons. >> dana: what lies beneath. >> nice job. that's why you are who you are. nice to see you. >> some of the best schools in america testifying on capitol hill about their failures to stop a recent surge of anti-semitism on their campuses. we'll check in on that. also the "wall street journal" reporter evan gershkovitch tear -- parents talking about. 250 days since putin put their son in jail. >> the promise the president made gave us a lot of solace,
7:40 am
hope and strength. after 250 days i it is getting very, very hard to hold onto that. we need -- we want the u.s. government to focus on bringing an american journalist back home. my a1c was up here; now, it's down with rybelsus®. his a1c? it's down with rybelsus®. my doctor told me rybelsus® lowered a1c better than a leading branded pill and that people taking rybelsus® lost more weight.
7:41 am
i got to my a1c goal and lost some weight too. rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. need to get your a1c down? you may pay as little as $10 per prescription.

7:48 am
breakdown. explain it to our audience. >> the environment at penn right now is scary for the students. there is no leadership. no vocal statements from the administration about what they are going to do about anti-semitism. they keep conflating anti-semitism and islamaphobia as though the muslim students are living in fear. it's the jewish students that are facing a hate crimes, hate speech, graffiti, speaking out against them and they feel threatened right now. they feel afraid for their physical well-being. >> bill: a moment ago we heard and our audience is about to hear a student from m.i.t., nyu in new york and your school, u penn. watch here. >> please let me go back to being a scientist. let me go back to being a student. i don't want to have to keep advocating for jewish student safety on campus. it's not my job.

7:50 am
because with all the money in their endowments and all the gifts taken from other governments supporting activities of penn they don't feel like their gifts whether they withhold them or not will have an impact on what's going on especially right now. a lot of them are parents of students currently at penn and they are feeling like what the student said, given that being an ivy league school, so much of a pressure cooker to begin with. so much difficulties just in graduating why are we asking these students to become advocates against anti-semitism and having them be running protest movements when they should be studying? >> bill: amen to that. "wall street journal" rights higher education has become to a threat to american. they feed every scourge from censorship and crime to anti-semitism. how did we get here? 60 days ago this wasn't here in america, at least we didn't take note of it.
7:51 am
>> oh, this has been on campuses, liberal campuses for a long time. it has been growing probably for 20 or 30 years with the influx of cash from foreign governments who have been trying to influence the curriculum, the tone of the education, trying to undermine western society, frankly. and our enemies have succeeded in creating an environment in colleges where we are taught to hate ourselves. we're taught to hate america and try to atone for the sins of our past. and i think when they are talking about project 1619 and talking about teaching about the failures of america in our founding to respect minorities and to avoid colonialism what's going on in israel right now is a reflection of what our enemies have taught our teachers and students to hate and taking it out on israel because it
