vice president. >> i'll put my name in the running. >> ainsley: what was so special about your situation last night? >> i have no words. it was so, so incredible to just see so many people from different backgrounds and different denominations come together under the name of jesus and just worship. i have no words. >> ainsley: it was great. thank you so much. it's the end of our show. thank you for being patient. they have been here all morning. they weren't able to be on because of the breaking news. god bless you all. amazing message. we want to thank the restaurant here. lizards thicket in elmwood tomorrow morning. >> so glad we were able to end is show with those messages. a message of hope after all this chaos. more coverage on fox after this. >> bill: thank you, guys, we'll pick it up from here and we're waking up yet again to another day of this. police moving in to clear out

this anti-israeli encampment. this time at ucla in california after protestors defied the orders to leave prior. so good morning, it continues. i'm bill hemmer live in new york city. good morning to my partner here. >> dana: i'm dana perino and this is "america's newsroom." we've been watching this since the early -- before the sun rose. police ordered protestors to leave or face arrest. after standing by on the periphery of the tents for hours the protestors hunkered down and police responded. they tore down barricades and tore down boards. how that was allowed to happen not sure. bill melugin was on the scene as the pre-dawn crackdown unfolded. >> oh. did you hear that flash bang? >> bill: okay. numerous angles to cover over the next two hours. there was a lot of that that you just saw. sun is rising where the action is, william la jeunesse is still there live at ucla. let's begin a new hour with you,

william. >> good morning, bill. this is what remains of the tent encampment. it is now entirely cleared by law enforcement. you can see the coolers, the sleeping bags, the food, the lights, the gas masks, basically you name it. there is probably -- i was told up to 400 people inside here. it took some time. i think the police started moving in around 2:00 a.m. they were led by chp, state property. they came in first in their riot gear and masks and so forth and face shields and had to go up against that plywood, right? the plywood was basically nailed or screwed together. then they had zip ties around the fences making the entry point really difficult. the entry was made over in that corner there basically a dozen officers started going through. the protestors were locked in arms, right? and they had on helmets and

masks and so forth to stop the pepper spray and so then the flash bangs started, bang, bang, bang all night long as police continued to peel back layers, first the fence, then the fly wood, then the tents, then the individuals. and only just about ten minutes ago did they finally finish arresting. what they did is came through here, started taking them out one-by-one, putting them in their plastic cuffs if you will. zip ties, and then they pushed the -- the cops corraled these protestors up against the wall over there where keith is shooting right now and again they locked arms and still free, free, palestine the whole bit. the cops said you walk away down here you don't have to be arrested. if you stay you will be arrested. anyone you saw got arrested wanted to be. this encampment started about a week ago. declared unlawful by the university two days ago.

police showed up last night and said it was an unlawful assembly. you have another choice to leave. they also had barricaded the doors over here of royce hall, iconic, you see it in the movie and tv shows, a lot of graffiti spray painted on the walls. they barricaded that so police couldn't come in that way and they did the same over to the library, which has been closed for several days and will not open until monday. basically the encampment, they had secured themselves here. when we arrived around 11:00 p.m. or midnight local time there were more than 1,000, probably 1500, maybe 2,000 students around the perimeter, right? they were armed for bear as well. they had bats and poles and masks and they had gas masks as well and shields. and the fear was by police that they were going to move in for

these alley ways and access points between the buildings. well, police did a good job. they went in and moved them out and sealed them off and then the police moved in here to the encampment area where we are now. the university had to invite the police here. that generally happened -- it was probably the catalyst was the counter protest a few nights ago when there were 15 injuries and for two or three hours there was fighting going on. university realized someone will get hurt and they called police and said it has to end. send it back to you. >> bill: you have a junk yard behind you. look at all that stuff. when we were watching police move about an hour ago, there were some aerial shots. i don't know if you saw it from your position. there were some aerial shots where the cops were picking up tents and moving them like they were empty cardboard boxes. there was nothing inside many of them. have you noticed that? >> yeah.

but bill, what i think -- i think basically that's because the protestors had basically moved to the perimeter or to the sides. but you are right, when the cops showed up and started taking this plywood and throwing it away and so forth, there were people living here, no doubt about it. you can see that. now was every tent -- i don't think they were occupied. once the police started showing up. they were around the perimeter, if you will. in fact, let's take a look right now across over here, bill. so you can still see police are here and if we can go beyond that so this is the -- i think the western edge of the mall, if you will, where we are. you still have protestors out there. but they're outside the caldron. calling the police names and still making demands. but those individuals -- they are not in the encampment per se. but for all intents and purposes it's over. the cleanup will begin. as you mentioned, bill, it will

take some time. classes won't begin until monday. this place is a total mess. >> dana: i had a question about that because i think it is outrageous that people who are going to have to come up and clean up their mess. not sure what happens to all that stuff. but who is on the hook to pay for it? is it is taxpayers or add it to the students' bill and send their parents a note along with it? >> dana, i think you know the answer to that. taxpayers will pick up the tab one way or another. you would like to believe that it is coming out of the university budget, which technically you could argue it is aid not going to go to future students. but the point is, you know, taxpayers had to pay for the enforcement as well as the cleanup. but the sad part. i got my master's here in these buildings. an the graffiti and the utter disrespect they had for property that was not their own, let

alone this being your university and that's the way you want to treat it? some of the demands they made were so absolutely unrealistic. uc system, the entire endowment will divest of these companies doing business in israel. some of their demands saying that they weren't going to do it until the genocide ended. i'm sorry, israel does not listen to the students inside this encampment. that's not their job. so some of that stuff is pretty crazy. but yeah, it's going to be a lot of cleanup. the stuff we've seen here is crazy in terms of all the stuff. it wasn't cheap, i can tell you a piece of plywood, 3/four inch four by eight will cost over $50 at home depot. the amount of money that went into this that was behind it is not some psych 101 student who is a freshman. that's real money. >> dana: thank you so much. we want to get to jonathan hunt monitoring the protest. what do you see from your

vantage point? >> what i see is just that extraordinary mess at the center of one of the blue ribbon universities of the uc system. it is quite extraordinary to look at it. we've watched it and covered it live over the last couple of nights since tuesday night when those violent clashes took place between the pro-palestinian protestors and the counter pro-israeli protestors. it has just been desperately sad to see. desperately sad, frankly, to watch the decision making or lack there of on the part of the ucla administration and to begin with, law enforcement agencies here in l.a. ucla finally put the call out to police after the violent clashes of tuesday night. then they moved on to campus yesterday. but they waited hours and hours and hours it seemed before they wanted to move in.

we were all completely befuddled by the delays that were going on, which just allowed those protestors to barricade themselves more strongly and more strongly to make it more and more difficult for the law enforcement officers who eventually got in. although i have to say once they went in, it was a textbook operation, dana. led by officers with the california highway patrol. that is state property being at uc obviously. and they showed remarkable restraint. they used flash bangs, fired those over the heads of the protestors to disorient them. did not use any tear gas at all. they had their rifles containing rubber bullets locked and loaded and aimed but they never -- as far as we're aware fired a single round. they eventually moved in and rounded up everybody and what we now see has been a very, very effective operation. so this is over, but just look

at the damage. that is a blue ribbon part of the uc system. ucla. and that is the center of it that we're looking at now. it is, i think, as many people have said, including nearby sheriff, by the way, the sheriff of riverside county, it has been an embarrassment for l.a. an embarrassment for ucla and embarrassment to an extent up until this morning for law enforcement in la as well. now it's all over and that's what the united states is looking at. that kind of damage to a major university, extraordinary to me. >> bill: it sure is. look at some of the graffiti. genocide, not war, a hammer and sickle. there was some spanish language, i do believe along the way. senator elizabeth warren was on cnn talking about the two-state

solution and peace deal now. how do you negotiate with hamas still holding hostages? it is absurd to think you would make that jump at this moment. overnight reaching deep into the morning hours about 1:30 a.m. east coast time and all through the night we watched it all unfold here on the fox news channel and with our colleagues on "fox & friends" when we watched this. >> it doesn't look like the kid gloves are working with these protestors. now cops. >> they did nothing to control outsiders from coming in. we saw a lot of people inside who were not students. >> this is the most violent resistance we have seen, i think, anywhere in the country so far. >> yeah, well, you know, i might be scared if i saw this coming at me. >> bill: a lot more of that to come. mitch daniels joins us now. sir, good morning to you. former university president purdue university in indiana,

former indiana governor and we are privileged that you chose to join us this morning. we have been looking forward to trying to get the perspective of university presidents and you are perfect for the job. can you help us understand what's happening on america's campuses now? >> well, i think we all understand what's happening and we also have come to understand in any case a minority of students and many of those participating aren't students at all. all that needs to be born in mind. i choose to take a half full view honestly, that we're seeing in contrast to some previous episodes like this, some resoluteness on the part of people holding both my last two jobs, both universities and their surrounding public jurisdictions. my view is that follow through is everything but some

expulsions that have been announced in many places would be very therapeutic and helpful. i think we're seeing a pendulum moving in a healthy direction. california is california. i don't think we should mistake what's going on there for the typical case. >> bill: i apologize for the interruption. we're balancing two significant stories. the other one is in lower manhattan and here is former president donald trump. >> thank you very much. so as you know, we're -- late last night we got back from michigan. we went to wisconsin and michigan yesterday. we had tremendous rallies. sold out rallies, packed. the enthusiasm has never been better. that was a great thing. it was nice to be able to campaign one day without being in this ridiculous show trial. biden trial i call it. but it was quite a day yesterday and many of you were there and i appreciate your being there. the coverage was very fair.

the economy, people are asking me about the economy. it is doing terribly. interest rates are obviously not going to be able to be reduced prior to the election because inflation is roaring back. gasoline is way up. other things are way up and it is roaring back and they're very surprised. i'm not surprised. they say they are surprised. that's what they say. the economy looks pretty bleak for interest rates and i don't think there is any way they can cut them. inflation, remember, is a country buster. when you have inflation, that breaks countries, literally breaks countries. we can't take that chance. we'll see what they do. it was announced yesterday they can't do much with the interest rates. they'll have to remain very high. it's very unfortunate. we had low interest rates. they have high interest rates. that's very unfortunate. when you compare my economy to this economy, not a contest. we had the greatest economy in history and now we have a lousy

economy. but the problem with the economy is the inflation and anything you make you more than gave back. we call it a 50% tax. a biden tax, inflationary tax and it is about 50%. that's what it is whether you like it or not. it is too bad. we're down at the trial now getting ready to spend another day in the courthouse, which is bogus trial that every leading authority on law says should never have been brought. alvin bragg didn't want to bring it until the election hand and he brought it. this case could have been brought eight years ago. instead they wait and wait and wait. they know it is not a good case and now it has turned out to be they have lost every -- they have no case. they have no case. but we have a very conflicted judge, unfortunately and so you never know. but other than that, there is no case. it should have never been

brought. if it was brought it should have been brought eight years ago. 2015, 2016. nobody has ever seen anything like it. they wait until i announce and then they start their action and wait until prime time super tuesday. they all started, super tuesday, the biggest day, which we won every single thing. super tuesday was a big day for me but that's when it all came into being. who starts a case right smack in the middle of somebody's election? it should be illegal because it is election interference. so we're going to go in right now and i will comment just quickly on the colleges and universities. it is a shame. i'm so proud of the new york's finest, they are great people, too, i know so many of them. they are incredible. they did a job at columbia and likewise in los angeles they did a really good job at ucla. it was very embedded. so you understand this is a movement from the left, not the right.

the right is not your problem despite what law enforcement likes to say, the f.b.i. director said that he worries about the right. don't worry about the right. the right is fine. worry about the left. this is a movement from the left. these are radical left lunatics. it will get worse and worse. they have to be stopped now. they take over countries, okay? we aren't letting them take over the usa. we aren't letting the radical left morons take over this country. you can't let that happen. and the law enforcement and people at d.o.j. instead of going after donald trump they ought to look what is happening in their own offices. you are loaded up with radical left people that want this country to fail. we won't let this country fail. thank you very much. >> bill: court resumes in 12 minutes. first order of business today, a judge's ruling on four more gag

orders. so stand by for more on that. >> dana: we'll do that. we bring back mitch daniels, who was president of purdue university and former governor of indiana. wanted to ask you about one of the -- the president was just talking about how the left is really driving this and i guess we'll sort all that out to find out how many outside agitators and non-students are there. from a university president perspective, what should you do to either prevent non-students from coming on board or to deal with them going into next fall if this isn't resolved by then? >> you need to recognize that this is a common phenomenon these days. in some cases we know a majority of those arrested were not students. you need to have a very good relationship, we certainly did at purdue university, with your surrounding law enforcement and prosecutors who will actually act. it doesn't take too many to send the right message, dana.

you know, again, maybe i'm prone to look on the bright side but i think that this whole round of here has a clarifying effect. which schools will protect their safety? which schools are serious about the academic enterprise? it is clarifying problem to jewish americans where the real hate and most dangerous and virulent anti-semitism is located in this country. and it is -- i hope it will clarify to students, those involved and those watching, that there are consequences for violating clear rules and clear -- particularly criminal laws. follow through will be very, very important, including prosecutors in some jurisdictions who have been declining to prosecute even worse offenses. we will need to see which ones do and which ones don't. but again i think public

understanding will be advanced a great deal and i hope in a positive direction. >> bill: the president has been invisible. what is his strategy? >> i'm going to leave that to him and others. it is pretty plain that they feel trapped. they are desperate to placate their extremes. i know they feel conflicted about that. >> bill: let me steal a line from the "wall street journal" editorial board. quote. his, joe biden's moral equivocation of israel has protestors thinking they can change his policies. end quote. do you think that's what's going on? >> i suppose until it's made very plain that policy is not going to change, they will continue to harbor that hope.

they have leverage once again because of the obvious closeness of this election and the parents' propensity to defect among his what he thought was his base on the left. he has been forced to lean that direction on many issues over the last few years and i'm sure that's what's going on now. >> dana: can i ask you what you think about the decision at columbia in particular to go fully remote for classes until the end of the year? and also for usc, for example, canceling graduation. wasn't there a better way to protect jewish students and get them to class? if i was a parent paying that kind of tuition i would be furious. >> rightly so. and no, i think the right answer was to act more decisively, more promptly, and again a few object lessons. a few prompt expulsions, a few

prompt prosecutions or at least filing of charges where something worse than breaking a campus rule is involved would be very instructive and possibly deterrent. but no, i mean, these schools need to take a very clear stand on behalf of the vast, vast majority of students, even in the most flagrant cases you are showing, who were there for serious purposes and whose lives and study and growth in life it's unconscionable to allow those to be disrupted by a handful particularly when that half that handful comes from elsewhere with a very different agenda than the university has. >> bill: let me try to get to one more question here. really goes back over the past four years, sir. knowing that you have so much experience with colleges and universities and education in america. really seemed like during covid that the lid was blown off what

is happening inside classrooms all over the country, high schools, colleges, etc. yesterday we had the mayor of new york city come out and talk about outside agitators. that is an element to this and you have rightly pointed that out. but as we consider that also, are we giving the students who are possibly following some of their instructions a pass? >> too many have. i think covid was an excellent example. it was what i would call a clarifying moment for a lot of people who saw the moral -- the lack of responsibility on the people who are supposed to be the grown-ups in this situation. you know, i once had a conversation, listened to some students who back in the previous post -- 2020 disruptions, they brought up something they said was a non-negotiable demand.

i said we do have some common ground. there won't be any negotiations. it is one thing to listen. another to negotiate. it was a big mistake for the schools that chose that path. laying down very clear rules and then enforcing them fairly but promptly is, i think, the fairest to the majority as we just discussed and the best way to minimize the chance of recurrence. >> dana: one last question. what do you think about calls for somebody like the president of columbia to resign her position? >> i don't know enough to say definitively. you know, in many, many cases the presidents involved here, you could say, helped create the situation that gave rise to the problem. she just got there and i don't know enough about the background to say that she should be held responsible for events that

erupted very shortly after her arrival. the board of trustees there clearly has responsibility and i think perhaps maybe the first calls for reform or even resignation maybe should be directed at them. >> dana: governor, thank you. great to have you. we appreciate your time. >> bill: mitch daniels from indiana, thank you. so where to next, america? which campus next? which town next? we'll wait to get that answer. as donald trump goes back into court, we'll be back in session there in lower manhattan in about five minutes from now. we're back in the meantime right after this. okay everyone, our mission is to provide complete, 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.

eric shawn is down there at the courtroom. eric, what can we expect today? >> we'll have that gag order hearing continuing starting right now. should take about a half hour. four new violations prosecutors say the former president is guilty of for violating judge merchan's gag order. the former president arrived ten minutes ago. he attacked the trial. he called it a show trial. >> they know it's not a good case. now it has turned out to be they've lost every -- they have no case. they have no case. but we have a very conflicted judge, unfortunately, and so you never know. but other than that, there is no case. >> after the gag order hearing is over, beverly hills lawyer keith davidson returns to the stand for more testimony. he represented mcdougal and daniels and negotiated the

$280,000 paid to both mcdougal and stormy daniels to hide their alleged affairs with trump. in court prosecutor asked davidson where did you understand the money would be coming from? he said from donald trump or some corporate affiliation there of. it is my understanding that mr. trump was the beneficiary of the contract. but from the stand davidson never said he spoke to mr. trump directly. he only thought the former president was behind the alleged scheme. on cross examination trump lawyer is expected to drill into the lack of a direct connection between davidson and trump. so the gag order hearing now underway. judge merchan has already found the president guilty of violating it nine times. he fined him $9 thousand. he could fine him $4 thousand after today's hearing. we'll see what happens as testimony resumes. >> bill: jonathan turley,

constitutional law attorney. you don't like the gag order. michael cohen is out there every night talking about the guy for his own free will who will testify against the former president very soon. how do you resolve this? >> well, that's the problem. there is no real effort by the court to resolve it in any balanced way. this judge as well as the judge in d.c. basically said we won't take any form of accommodation towards you because you are the leading candidate for the presidency. the question is why? that's not written or chiseled in stone. why wouldn't you acknowledge the rather unique circumstances here? this is a prosecutor in new york who waited to bring this case right before an election and then sought to gag the leading candidate from talking about one of his biggest critics who is as you noted on the air almost every night. also he can't talk about this

leading prosecutor who came from the biden administration. those are issues that go directly to the election. many people are obviously moving towards trump because they see the politicalization of the legal system. these are the facts that he needs to be able to discuss with voters. but by holding off and then insisting on a trial before the election, they have effectively prevented him from doing that and why this is very troubling. >> bill: some people think he is threatened with jail time. that will be a sight to see. we're balancing a lot of news this morning. we'll speak very soon. back to this. >> when you see that video of raging lunatics and hamas sympathizers as columbia and other colleges, where did these people come from? biden should speak out. he should say something. nobody knows where he is. he is deaf niftily against israel. >> dana: americans looking for

leadership as campuses are in turmoil. critics say they aren't seeing any from the white house, not the president himself. let's bring in byron york. we looked at a list today. the past two weeks where president biden has been and opportunity to make commence about this. they have decided not to and issued many paper statements including a couple from the deputy press secretary about campus protests. but the president himself apparently not going to give remarks on this until next tuesday, may 7th. byron, what do you think about -- does the cat have joe biden's tongue since he seems paralyzed not doing anything. like he has to get talked into commenting on afghanistan, baby formula and all the big issues. america is like where are you, sir? >> let's just say this. the president always has the opportunity to make a public statement. all the office has to do is

inform the press and they will be there. the president can always speak out about this. apparently joe biden, as far as the campus unrest is concerned, has made a decision that it's maybe it will blow over and the big problem for him is that the democratic party is divided about this whole issue. they are divided about the israel/hamas war right now. and so you see the president in a very tight re-election race. depending in large part on young voters who have peeled off to some degree to support donald trump at this moment. and very, very reluctant to offend anybody. so he does have the left wing of the democratic party being quite pro-palestinian in all of this and the president just is not going to come out and favor law and order on college campuses. >> dana: one thing i would just comment, not a question necessarily, but when you are

president of the united states, you have multiple audiences at once. the students on the far left are not your only audience here. jewish americans and jewish students. the parents of students everywhere, how about the faculty? how about the local jurisdictions that have to clean up this mess? how about the police thanking them for their really good leveled headed work? you are right, he could speak if he wanted to. >> yeah. well, in an even bigger sense, normally when there is unrest and conflict in american cities, on college campuses, the like, the president is expected to side with the side of order over the side of disorder. he is expected to side in this case with the administration, officials of the colleges. and what you have here is a president who won't come out and take a side. you have colleges that are having to shut down, having all sorts of very, very disruptive activities, sometimes violent

activities, on their campuses and the president will not come out on the side of order. remember, the most stringent criticism of president donald trump on january 6th was that he took too long to come out on the side of order. now you have president biden just hiding under the desk afraid to come out on the side of order. >> bill: if i were to guess, i think there is a calculation they can ride this out. whether they can or not is a different argument. kate beddingfield was on cnn yesterday morning talking about you look at the list of priorities among americans and young americans, and the gaza war doesn't rank as high as climate change or some of the other issues that we've talked about, protecting democracy. so we'll get into the nbc piece this morning where the war yet again is quote far from a top of mind concern for young voters, all right? so there are big part of his

coalition in 2020. who knows where they are in 2024. maybe the calculation is let's hold back and let this thing blow over and the world of cable news and social media will send us in a different direction on a different topic. that might be wishful thinking. >> you make a really excellent point, though, about young people's priorities. the harvard kennedy school of government released a survey recently of voters 18 to 29. what they did is listed a whole bunch of issues and said is a more important than b or is c for important than d? one of the questions they asked, what's more important, inflation or climate change? they said inflation. what's more important inflation or student loans? they said inflation. they said the same thing about the israel/hamas conflict. so a lot of the issues that we see at the top of voter concerns

for all voters are also the top issues for young voters, too. >> bill: byron, thank you. he is taking us through really some guesswork at the moment. >> dana: trying to make sense of the baffling from the white house. >> bill: we're checking the emails from inside the courtroom. now we have brand-new pictures, i believe four of them. president trump in a gold tie and white shirt fresh off campaigning in michigan and wisconsin yesterday. so court is underway yet again. the first order of business are the four gag orders and whether or not the judge will take action against him. we're up to nine grand with the fines on the gag orders. see if we add to that today or not. >> dana: two big stories we're following today. all the updates you need. we'll be right back after this. s changes your struggle with missing teeth forever. it changes how you eat, how you feel, and how you enjoy life.

reporters moments ago and with us now is senator marco rubio. great to have you here for your perspective. appreciate it so much. senator, one of the things that as we mentioned to byron york a moment ago is baffling that president biden hasn't said anything himself. you know him, you know politics, you know donald trump and there is a campaign going on. what do you think is going on here? >> two things. first i think they don't have a lot of confidence in his ability to communicate, i really do. it's a problem. one of the key jobs of a president is go before the nation and put it in context and they don't have a lot of confidence he has the ability to do that. they're afraid of what might happen. the second is there are elements of his base, he knows it. elements of his activist base in the democratic party. donors and the like who sympathize with what these protestors are about. a complete breakdown of law and order. hundreds of thousands of american students who can't go

on campus, feel threatened. in the middle of finals are disrupted. paid a lot of money to go to these schools. zombies brain washed by indoctrination and believe the world is divided between victim eyesers and victims. the one's pressing people in jews in israel. it is a complete break down of law and order and the president is doing anything about it and the left is caught in the vice now. >> bill: here is the mayor of new york city eric adams. outside agitators and more. he took a position on this. play this and more. >> i know there are those who are attempting to say the majority of people are students. you don't have to be the majority to influence and co-op an operation. that's what this is about. so we want to play -- i want to

play the new york city police. >> bill: you have that and then you have these agitators. there is a piece in "politico" suggested they have not provided enough proof about agitators coming in and citing to examples at columbia. where do you go when you are trying to figure out who is exerting the influence, senator? is it on the agitators who go there and get the students all riled up, or should the area of focus here shift to the students themselves? look, we've been watching students being dragged out of this quad at ucla for hours. i think they were all just about 19, 20, 21 years old. i think i saw one woman looked to be an african-american professor, didn't want her face to be shown. for the most part they were students who attend that school, whether undergrad or grad school. so where do we go on this?

>> arrest reports will tell us something. professional agitators are people experts at not getting caught. they know how to structure this and the first ones when the police say it's time to go they leave and then go back and do it again. plywood. that stuff is expensive. trust me, it is expensive. people go to home depot and try to buy some see how much it costs. this isn't an organic movement. it is not a coincidence we see the two ugliest dem trigss in new york and l.a. big metro areas to meld into all of it. the students have to be responsible for this. important to point out these students even if you said everybody in the protests -- they are students. it's a small percentage of the student body. they are disrupting it for everybody else. i do think to go back to what the mayor said they did a great job nypd, great job by police in california and thank them for stepping up in the line of duty in that regard. you can't be in favor of this

dei stuff that teaches the world is about victims and oppressors along racial, gender and ethnic lines. eventually depending on the issue, you will be put into the oppressor class and that's what happened here. the irony of it is.2% of the world's population, the most op pressed minority group, the jews, is suddenly an imperial power about colonial builders. that's what happened now in this regard. the left is facing this monster that they've created through 20 years of indoctrination and brainwashing. >> dana: we talk politics and court today. the president and the senate. thank you, we appreciate your time. >> bill: ten minutes before the hour. the court is underway. we are getting minute by minute updates inside the courtroom. right now the court is asking the judge for more fines to be

applied to the defendant donald trump. our coverage continues from inside there coming up. every day, veteran homeowners are calling newday to pay off credit card debt that's been piling up. many were shocked to learn they've been paying 22% on their credit card balances. and if payments were late, as much as 30%. that's over three times the interest rate on a newday 100 va home loan. pay off high rate credit cards and other debt with a lower rate newday home loan. save hundreds a month, thousands a year.

marched through the city before arriving to nyu's encampment by the evening. nyu placed an academic and commons building on lockdown as the crowd grew. a scuffle broke out as a small crowd of counter pro-israel protestors. city college hundreds of anti-israel protestors denounced the mass arrest tuesday night where officers cleared out an occupied hamilton hall. tables, chairs and desks students used to barricade themselves inside the building. columbia says it is now an active crime scene and according to one local report of the nearly 300 people arrested tuesday night on new york campuses, more than 10% have been arrested before. no word yet, dana, on whether the nypd will be called in to clear out this encampment at nyu. back to you. >> dana: glad to have you on the

ground cb. nichole parker is a former f.b.i. agent. i know that you have been critical of the f.b.i. director christopher wray. i'm wondering in this situation, this scenario, what would the f.b.i.'s role be if he were to step in? >> this is a very important topic. everyone continues where is joe biden and the president of the united states right now. well, my question is former f.b.i. agent, where is attorney general merrick garland and f.b.i. director christopher wray? i can tell you when i was working at the f.b.i. when the f.b.i. and d.o.j. want to make a very firm stance on a topic, they will go out hard. they will go to the media and make it clear where they stand. we saw that in the after math of jan six. no question in our mind at f.b.i. agents what the number one priority at the f.b.i. was. now the f.b.i.'s role in something like this is multi-dimensional in my opinion. you have a potential terroristic

angle here and civil rights violations. if we go to the f.b.i.'s website. i go there quite frequently. i want to know what they are telling the public, you the general american audience. june of 2021 the f.b.i. posted a press release to their website against think about this the timing. in light of post george floyd, the chaos in our country with cities burning to the ground after the summer of 2020. well, their message was look, hate crimes are the top priority for the f.b.i. if you are the victim or a witness of a hate crime, that's our top priority for our civil rights program. it was very clearly stated. now my question to you, where are they now? does it only matter when it's certain groups that are receiving hate crimes? because by definition a hate crime is a crime that is motivated by a bias because of gender, ethnicity, religion. in my opinion al
