>> anti-israel protests continue at this hour at campuses across the country. at george washington university here in d.c. protesters adding

tents overnight and placing them next to police barricades as officials are attempting to keep demonstrators off city streets. this, as gw's law school was forced to move final exams due to the student occupation. welcome to fox news live. i've got molly in the studio. >> great to be here, griff jenkins and molly line. a student leader from the protest encampment is banned from the campus after there was a video of him saying zionists don't deserve to live. steve harrigan is live at the campus. >> the protests at columbia are in the second week and no sign that the students in tents on the campus grounds are going away anytime soon. negotiations are underway, but no sign of progress. the university called in the police once and they told student leaders they're not going to call in the police

again. one student, a 20-year-old junior, james was found social media posts saying that signists should be murdered and they're lucky that not out now. and hot spots in campuses around the country, you have many jewish students say they don't feel their universities are doing enough to protect them. >> my peers, my friends, my family are afraid. i cannot walk around my own campus looking visibly jewish without preparing myself for the possibility that someone might spit on or attack me. we have been afraid all year and i am done with it. i am no longer afraid. i'm extremely angry. >> you see at different universities, different attempts to trying to diffuse the situation. at emory university force was

used against many protesters who had no ties to the university at all according to officials. tear gas was used. at university of texas in austin, police charged in on horseback in an attempt to break up an encampment. and at university of florida, threats have been used by the administration, severe threats, suspension up to three years for those trying to build tents on campus. a struggle for the administrators as the protests continue to spread quickly. back to you. >> that's a great point from columbia university in new york. griff: all right. for now on more how it's impacting student safety. let's bring in paul morrow, and david delarosa, a student who attendance george washington university. david, i want to start with you. you and i were speaking yesterday. i was a reporter covering the protest and you agreed to talk to me about how you felt about what was happening on campus and another student from

another university came over and began to accost you. i want to play for our viewers, a little of that exchange and then get your reaction. watch. >> the protests and this is-- this is our university and i-- >> i'm on public space, it's a public street. >> i believe in the freedom of speech. >> this is a public street. >> i believe in the freedom to protest and everybody's right to be able to protest. >> this is community property. >> when you come here and call for an intifada revolution and calling for the death of my institution. >> i'm jewish, and (bleep) don't play anti-zionism with anti-semitism. >> if you don't want a conversation. griff: david, you watch that moment you were clearly harassed and threatened. your reaction? >> you know, it's scary times that we're living in and first of all, thanks for having me. campus climate is very scary for a lot of jewish students

across the entire country. the fact that a friend of mine can't walk through the university yard and have a piece of matsa because it's passover, without being yelled at, harassed or spat at simply because she's eating a piece of matsa, a lot of people are feeling threatened by the protests. griff: paul, i want to bring you in on this and this is one of the examples, i've watched it happen. as a parent of a kid about to go to college, i can only imagine what david's parents and every other jewish student parent must be feeling. do you feel the universities are doing enough and if not, what do they need to do? >> so the universities could have taken a much clearer track right from the beginning, specifically columbia. they only were complainants on trespass violation, which is a glorified parking summons and these kind of details matter because it empowered the

students. they came right back the next day and then this entire thing went viral. what i would urge jewish students to do, log everything that's happened. let's be really frank. the administrators are scared and half are on board with this. our administration in washington is likely the same. right now we just get word that president biden and the vp will be attending very few, if any, commencement speeches. they don't know what to do with this either. and log all of these events. get into discovery, get all of the e-mails and the texts to find out what's going on and that's the only way you'll get movement from the administration and from these colleges, because right now, they're hiding in their proverbial tents as well. griff: david, you're nodding your head while paul was talking there. are you keeping track? do you feel specifically "the washington post" reports that the gw administrators asked d.c.'s police to remove the

encampment and they chose not to. we've not independently confirmed that. generally speaking do you feel that gw is doing enough to protect students like you? >> the administration is doing as much as they possibly can, but they need to be able to do more. the fact that the encampment was started at 5:00 in the morning on thursday, they were given numerous-- they were asked numerous times to leave and go to a different portion of the university so that students, students in the law school and other students who are currently working on their finals, it's an opportunity -- what they're doing is they're distracting them. they were distracting law students who worked three years on trying to get their law degree and when their time comes to finally be able to graduate and take their final exams, they have to deal with this kind of interruption and it's disruption. and i loved the point that he made of documenting all of the information that we hear and we

see on these campuses. i sent you a picture yesterday of a poster that-- of a poster that was being held up. griff: we can show that, this one. >> that picture right there. final solution. the final solution was hitler's program to annihilate all of the jewish people and not only in europe, throughout the entire world. so when you see things like this, people say that these protests are not anti-semitic. that's the perfect representation why it's true that it's anti-semitic. griff: you took that picture. >> i did. griff: when you is an it, what did you feel? >> i felt what are they doing here on this campus? why should i feel threatened on my own campus? i'm here and trig to educate myself, trying to finish-- trying to continue my academic career, but there's people chanting there's only one solution, intifada revolution and calling from the river to the sea, palestine will be free. all of these chants and all of these signs are blatant

anti-semitism and that's when freedom of speech should not-- that's where your first amendment right of freedom of speech should not protect you. griff: paul, you know, not only is david's situation significant, an example of anti-semmism. but james, not clear if he's been expelled, zionists don't deserve to live. have we crossed a red line? >> i think we have. this is where we would normally see activities from doj, statements from merrick garland, fbi, or the president, saying, look, this national issue is not going to be tolerated. look, i've been through this kind of thing before. up close, i've been down to some of the protests and looks a lot like occupy wall street and the blm riots. there are a lot of professional

agitators. but let's not kid ourselves, a lot of this stuff is fomented by administrators and teachers, and it's a missed opportunity just to be bipartisan, in an effort of bipartisanship. it would be a great optic for the president to say deploy the national guard and to ensure that jewish students are not harassed as they go to class. it would look like selma 1965. you know what would happen if we weren't paying attention to these kids, eventually they'd go away. the professional agitators would run out of money and they would disappear, kids would realize i've got to go away for the summer and my semester is over. instead it's perform ative and they're allowing it and the class actions to realize what's going on. griff: and david brought up the

president in 10, 20 seconds, what would you say directly to president biden? >> i would say you need to do everything in your power to protect jewish students and protect the jewish people and to support israel 100%. israel is our only ally in the region. they are a democratic nation. when we hear from the river to the sea, palestine will be free, it's a call for the annihilation of the state of israel. israel is not going anywhere, i would tell the president, israel is not going anywhere, the jewish people are not going anywhere to say to my jewish brothers and sisters on campuses throughout the united states, wave your flag proudly, wave it high. wear your star of david proudly. nobody can -- nobody can tear down our spirit. griff: your spirit and strength is admirable. david, thank you. paul mauro, have a great weekend. >> thank you. >> president biden says he'd be happy to debate his opponent.

and trump responded with dates. and at the white house correspondents' dinner, he's expected to be greeted by protesters. >> there was a time when donald trump appeared on howard stern's show, those were more vulgar, to put it mildly, but still, there were headlines when president biden sat down with howard stern. >> can i tell you what fantasy i had, i don't know if you're going to debate your opponent? >> i am somewhere, i don't know when. i'd be happy to debate him. >> and he taped this program and stayed clear of columbia and nyu. instead attended a fundraiser at michael douglas' home north of the city. you mentioned the poll numbers off the top and many show form president trump ahead of joe biden in all ballot ground states and in a tough position

historically. gallup saying with about six months remaining for election day, biden stands in a weaker position than any prior incumbent and we heard from former president trump's offer to debate him. >> did he do it? monday night, tuesday night, wednesday night, thursday night, friday night, national television, tell me where, i will do it at the white house, that would be very comfortable, actually. >> of course, that debate won't be able to be held tonight definitely not the white house because president biden is attending the annual white house correspondents' dinner. >> keep an eye on monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday night. griff: and donald trump's hush money trial wrapped yesterday when three witnesses were called to the stand. cb cotton is at trump tower.

>> hi, griff. former president donald trump's lawyers tried to poke holes in the testimony of one of the prosecution's witnesses, david pecker. he was on the stand for four days and said his company paid $450,000 to silence former playboy playmate karen macdougal on an alleged affair with trump. and trump denied the rumors. and we heard from rona graf she said she was subpoenaed to testify while the state tries to prove trump was behind ano another with stormy daniels. and the witness said that she recalls seeing daniels once. and trump was pleaded not guilty to 34 felony charges

against him and prosecutors allege that trump hid damaging stories and the voters were denied the chance to fully size him up as the 2016 candidate. >> there's no case here. there's no case whatsoever. it's a disgrace. we have a conflicted judge and should not be happening, not in this country. >> and when court resumes on tuesday, bank executive will return to the stand. on friday he testified he was the banker of trump's ex-lawyer michael cohen when cohen wired $130,000 hush money payment to stormy daniels days before the 2016 election. griff, back to you. griff: we'll be watching when this resumes on tuesday. cb cotton live for us in new york. thank you. molly. >> for more, let's bring in former u.s. attorney guy lewis to talk about this. week one of the so-called hush money trial in the books, but

the majority of the weeks was spent on david pecker, the ex-tabloid king and national enquirer chief. your thoughts on allegations from some legal analysts that this is being slow rolled, six to eight weeks potentially and how are things going? >> i think that's probably the play out of the democrats' play book, to slow walk this thing. everybody thought that david pecker was going to be maybe on and off, an hour, introduce a few documents. he's turned out to be two days and frankly, what's fascinating, molly, is the defense turned him, i think, into a trump witness, a pro-trump witness. they frankly cross examined him and he came out with some good things about trump and demonstrated there were other people that did the same thing. and my question always is, why aren't they being prosecuted in the same way trump is. >> what do you mean by that. who are the people you would

highlight when you mention that? >> there was tiger woods and other celebrities. he indicated there were these non-disclosure agreements, they would purchase a story and sometimes they would run them and sometimes they wouldn't, and so, i'm left with the conclusion that it's only president trump who is now being prosecuted for what i would argue are mickey mouse charges. >> we're talking about here, the catch and kill, that's what we're getting the window into here, how catch and kill works, how broadly it was used. the sort of pay by play journalism as you mention seems to be something that was really just how things operated at the national enquirer to a certain extent. >> incredible. i've prosecuted for a long time and defended now for 20 years, i've never ever seen a federal prosecution like this. and when you look at the fact that the federal elections commission, sec looked at it, declined.

the federal attorneys in new york, with unof the most aggressive prosecutors in the nation declined. again, i'm left with the question, why are we prosecuting president trump. when you look at the lead prosecutor, he was an official in the biden-- before he became involved in this case, an official in the biden doj. so, i think this is all part of their playbook. >> meanwhile, somewhere else this week that president trump would have liked to have been down at the supreme court listening to arguments about claims of immunity in presidential power. take a listen to president trump, what he had to say really about the dual screen, him being in new york when the supreme court was looking at the hearing. >> the u.s. supreme court had a monumental hearing on immunity and the immunity having to do with presidential immunity, and i think it was very clear, i hope it was very clear that a

president has to have immunity, you don't have a president or the most you could say was a ceremonial president. that's not what the founders had in mind. >> the justices and the lawyers involved here as well dug into this for almost three hours. your thoughts on what we listened to this week? >> great point. so i think this thing went longer, again, than people expected. the justices were very, very engaged. they may not grant 100% absolute immunity across the board, but i am convinced that based on the questioning, that they're going to grant presidential immunity and it's going to disrupt all of these cases, molly, going forward. >> there's also a possibility that the justices could send this back to a lower court to dig into whether or not the president's actions were private or official duty. what could that potentially mean? >> you make a great point. so, the prosecutor himself. when i was a u.s. attorney and an assistant u.s. attorney, i

enjoyed prosecutorial immunity, the prosecutor him self. why shouldn't the president? we'd go back and hold hearings and deciding whether we were committing official acts or not and with the president it's even more difficult. half the time he's a politician and half the time running the country and that clashes and runs into each other. that's a difficult proposition to have this. i think all summer. >> it's been a fascinating week in the world of former president trump and the legal cases and things that could have ramifications for many presidents to come. your insight is much prepared. >> thanks. griff: great conversation. meanwhile, if you seen this? several tornados ripping across multiple states on friday and including this one that dramatically crossed interstate 80 in nebraska. the threat for more tornados remains high throughout the weekend. we've got a full report coming

up. balanced nutrition for strength and energy. yay - woo hoo! ensure, with 27 vitamins and minerals, nutrients for immune health. and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein.

>> multiple powerful tornados ripping through nebraska and iowa last night leaving behind hundreds of damaged homes in flattened neighborhoods. and live from elkhorn, nebraska

with the latest. >> molly, just a gut-wrenching scene in elkhorn, nebraska, homes with no walls and a massive tornado that moved through. as you take a look, dozens of families have nothing left of homes that for in some cases they just moved into. and you'll notice a line of homes that have just been decimated in the sheer force of those winds and you'll notice, windows and doors blown out and cars mangled and twisted in the strength of at least one violent tornado that impacted the state of nebraska yesterday. it wasn't just this one, just 15 or so miles west of omaha. further south of us in places like waverly, nebraska. you also are now seeing video of incredibly powerful storm cells that caused so much

damage and impacting so many lives, similarly to one we saw on i-80 in lincoln, nebraska, moments later. and of course, so much devastation of pictures as we enter a new day in elkhorn, nebraska, dozens of displaced and looking for a place to lay their heads and resources to get them through the next days, and the horror stories we hear from those, including the long family who watched that tornado touch down and barrelling towards their home is just a punch in the gut. take a listen to this. >> the sirens were going off and we were all in the basement and i came upstairs to the second floor and i looked that way and i saw the big tornado coming and destroying houses over there. so we-- i ran downstairs and gathered everybody and i drove that way as fast as i could, away from it and it was here on the

street, real close. probably shouldn't have done that, but i'm kind of glad that the kids didn't have to go through that. >> the family is digging through the home trying to find anything salvageable. >> we're hearing the army of volunteers to start picking up the pieces and clearing up the road and helping these families find some sense of normalcy through what's going to be another several difficult days ahead. molly. molly: you know, great reporting, nicole. incredible, incredible story of survival from the long family. glad they're okay. we can see the damage. thank you for bringing that home for us. nicole valdez, appreciate it. griff: and part of the scary images, another round of severe tornados possible today across the southern plains. meteorologist adam klotz has more from the weather center. >> hey, griff. big weather firing up this afternoon. we're begun to see it a little bit. storms currently across oklahoma and every one of those

yellow boxes is a severe thunderstorm. winds up to 60 miles per hour, hail up to two inches and that red box is a tornado-warned storm currently. we've seen them fire up and the big ones coming up later. it's not often that we get the pink shade, a four on scale of five of the risk of severe weather. it's mostly across portions of oklahoma, but you can see it dipping down into texas as well. a tornado watch is currently in place until 1 p.m. central time and that will get updated and we'll continue to see likely the storms even amplify later in the day as the heat continues to build as you continue to see some moisture pump its way in. this is the forecast model, time stamp up in the corner and what you see by 3:00, it explodes and moves slowly. the biggest portions across north texas and oklahoma, could be a long day for a lot of these folks and people need to stay weather aware out there. griff: stay tuned to fox weather for those updates. adam klotz, thank you very much. molly: a group of democrats is now calling for a return to

trump era border policies. that's next. if you have moderate to severe ulcerative colitis or crohn's disease... put it in check with rinvoq... a once—daily pill. when symptoms tried to take control, i got rapid relief... and reduced fatigue with rinvoq. check. when flares kept trying to slow me down... i got lasting steroid—free remission... with rinvoq. check. and when my doctor saw damage,... rinvoq helped visibly reduce damage of the intestinal lining. check. for both uc and crohn's: rapid symptom relief... lasting steroid—free remission... and visibly reduced damage. check. check. and check. rinvoq can lower your ability to fight infections, including tb. serious infections and blood clots, some fatal; cancers, including lymphoma and skin; heart attack, stroke, and gi tears occurred. people 50 and older with a heart disease risk factor have an increased risk of death. serious allergic reactions can occur. tell your doctor if you are or may become pregnant. put uc and crohn's in check... and keep them there with rinvoq.

>> fox capturing video of migrant smugglers near the southern border and the local district attorney now cracking down on human smuggling and other reported climbs. did i have from el paso, dana marie to you. >> i can tell you that this mountain range behind me is a very popular spot for human smugglers. that side of the border wall is mexico and that's why we see about six to seven smugglers right now at the top of the mountain looking for the most opportune time to cross. our photographer is going to tilt up to give you a live look at what we're seeing just left of that white monument at the top of the mountain, a clear picture. now we know that the smugglers get paid by migrants to guide them through the terrain to cross illegally to avoid border

patrol and be processed by the united states. now we do have some insight into the dangerous journey from a video posted on tik tok by a smuggler. you can see a group of about 20 migrants, some even in camouflage guided to tiptoe across the road to conceal their footprints from border patrol. other tactics, travelling by storm drains and the chief of border patrols say these are extremely dangerous with toxic fumes and flood waters that rise rapidly. i did speak with a journalist covering the crisis from the mexican side of the border he's saying who is now making the trek to the u.s. >> to me two types of migrants, the asylum seekers who turn themselves into the border patrol. and the got-aways, don't qualify for asylum. >> some of those carry drugs, specifically marijuana, cocaine

and a reason why they do not want to be caught. an average of 771 total got-aways this week with 416 of those migrants being turned back to mexico. and we are monitoring a recent train right now moving from central mexico that could bring thousands of migrants to the el paso sector. mexican journalists report that many of the migrants are bringing with them clubs and rocks, determined to get past the mexican authorities and into the u.s. now, back out here live, we have the latest numbers from cbp sources who confirm an average of a thousand migrants crossing at the el paso sector. and just a reminder there's action, molly. molly: danamarie showing us that right now. griff: and for more on this, let's bring in former border

patrol security. from the foundation. chief, let's dive in there and danamarie great reporting from el paso. they had 1187 the last 24 hours. 1134, i believe at san diego where you're very familiar with. the numbers are not slowing down. and you have incredibly large number of chinese, specifically, coming through the san diego sector right now. and in light of the other news out there, do you look at this and see the number of chinese coming as a problem? let me just quickly, before you answer that, show our viewers what we're talking about. you have already eclipsed the entire fiscal year last year in the first six months of this year. more than 24,000, 7,000% increase compared to 2021 which had barely 7300 nearly 50. >> it's a significant issue. if you go beyond or backward

beyond 2021, chinese illegal aliens crossing between the ports of entry were nickel and dime. you would have surges every now and then, but to have more than like a thousand in a year is pretty rare. so to have two years in a row now where the numbers you just showed and then to highlight as well, 99% of those are coming through southern california right now, primarily san diego, but some as far as el centro. and the numbers we just talked about in el paso, it's important for people to understand the consequences. el paso sector covers the entire state of new mexico as well as the westernmost portion of texas itself. so the vast majority of illegal aliens recorded in el paso are crossing to the west, basically meaning in new mexico because new mexico, arizona, california, they haven't done like governor abbott has in south texas where the state has stepped in and trying to create

deterrents. that doesn't exist in the other states and that's why we continue to have the massive problem. i'd be remiss if i didn't highlight once again, the entire issue predicated on catch and release. when this administration reimplemented catch and release, that's when the massive amount of illegal immigration crossed and it has to be fixed. it's not a money issue, it's a policy issue. if we detain or deport them, either one, you can't release them into the u.s. this crisis would dry up overnight. griff: yeah, chief, it's very interesting that you mention the current administration's policies because little reported piece of news here, five house democrat lawmakers now sending a letter upset about what's happening, wanting the president to bring back trump era policies and this is what they said. they said we're also calling today on president biden to use the authority given the executive by congress to immediately reimplement eight u.s. code 1225 of course, many

will note that that is title 42 authorities, they add, we're calling for leaders of the house and senate legislation to give them the authority expired last year. it's interesting, when you look at the lawmakers, gonzalez of texas and jared golden of maine. they're seeing an increase, washington state, alaska, what's that tell you? >> it tells me that people are waking up and realizing that the border is a transit location, nobody stays there. all of these illegal aliens, the fentanyl coming in behind them and back to the reporter in texas just before this. and you showed those people up on top of the mountaintop. the guides in that group are counting how many border patrol agents are working, where they're at and pushing across enough people willing to surrender to wipe out those resources, so that that second wave of criminals and narcotics can come through and i believe that's what you're seeing. the country is waking up to the

threats associated with literally having an open border, and no matter how compassionate you are, if you look into this, a level or two deep, you realize your compassion has been hijacked, an open border does not help anyone. it actually puts the migrants at risk and puts our nation at risk and i think that political parties aside, people are realizing that. and trump gets a lot of credit for locking down the border, but what the biden walked away from, a 27-year bipartisan strategy preventing crime before it happens. preventing illegal entry. the biden administration walked away from that not just because it was republican, but a lot of democrats supported that up until january 2021 as well. griff: great point. former chief rodney scott. thank you for your time. have a great weekend. >> thank you, griff, have a great day.

molly: a great point indeed and when we talk about fentanyl, it's brought heart break. and in five days, three babies have suffered fentanyl overdoses in seattle one of the children died. this raising concerns about the dangers of fentanyl. christina coleman is live with this. over to you. >> hi, molly. the fentanyl epidemic continues to wreak havoc hitting a city hard north of seattle. in the three locations, everett, three victims under two years of age suffered fentanyl overdoses and one of them died. this happened in five days, from saturday of last week and this past wednesday. officers don't believe these incidents are connected. >> all three cases are still actively being investigated and the department is not ready to give specifics on the facts and circumstances of each one in

case they do turn criminal. >> investigators have not released details on exactly how the young victims came in unresponsive in an apartment next and despite life saving efforts, the child died. just a few hours earlier, a six mowed baby was found in another apartment with trouble breathing, given narcan and survived. and they found an unresponsive 11-month-old and fortunately this baby survived as well. they're noting to be careful, it can be more potent to baby or toddler's small bodies. the c.d.c. has been warning that the synthetic opioid is up to 50 times stronger than heroin and 100 times stranger than morphine. and as for the city of everett,

its located in a county where fentanyl is a growing problem. last year, at least 269 people died from opioid overdoses in that area. molly. molly: a true tragedy for the children and all of their families. christina coleman, thank you very much. griff: molly, a shooting last night here in the nation's capitol injuring many blocks from where president biden will attend tonight's white house correspondent's dinner. that's next. that the best ratu is a rate based on you, with allstate. because there are people out there who aren't you. a lot of them. and you don't drive like... whoa. i don't want my child being raised by a robot! other drivers are not you. yes, thank you so much to all 50 of my subscribers. nope, definitely not you. save with drivewise and get a rate based on you. you're in good hands with allstate. before apoquel chewable for allergic itch,

giving dogs pills was a battle of wits. oh maria, i'm wise to your foolish game. is it gone? totally gone. itch relief just got easier! apoquel, the trusted #1 treatment for allergic itch is now available in a tasty chewable that works in a day. do not use in dogs with serious infections. may cause worsening of existing parasitic skin infestations or preexisting cancers and serious infections. new neoplasias have been observed. do not use in dogs less than 12 months old. ask your vet for apoquel chewable. do it!

a shooting last night in a washington d.c. neighborhood not far from where president biden will attend a white house correspondents' dinner. >> it happened on a busy friday night. hundreds of people around. certainly a frightening

situation. specifically it happened on the 1200 block of connecticut avenue northwest in d.c., a very busy area. five victims as you mentioned, one suspect is in custody and police recover one gun. a fight inside a local business spilled out onto the street and d.c. police and the secret service were on scene just within minutes. the location happens to be not too far, not even a mile from the location of tonight's white house correspondents' dinner featuring president biden, the vice-president and both of their spouses will be there. there will be a heavy police presence and secret service presence there in that area tonight. the shooting last night comes a little more than a month after d.c. mayor muriel bowser right there signed a sweeping anti-crime bill into law putting millions on the streets in the neighborhoods that need it to stop crime. homicides specifically down 24% from this time last year and violent crime down 25%. nights like last night show there's much work to be done
