city college. so i'm not sure how many columbia university students have been arrested today. in 1960 on the same day, april 30 after occupying hamilton hall and for other buildings the demonstrators were removed by the nypd. and as i said, 700 people were were arrested and that created an emotional shock for columbia it resulted in an investigation of columbia and though i didn't go to school in colombia and i've only been there a short period of time. what i know about the school is that it created scars and the question i have and i don't say this is someone who doubts that those students had to be removed from hamilton hall. but what i worry about throughout our country right now is the lesson that students are going to learn from this we have seen on the left, as well as the right in our country i'm a an adoption of a absolutism if you are not, if you don't agree with me you are complicit in the evil that i don't agree with interesting, we've seen it on the right, we talk about it all the time on the right, but it's also on the left. and i say see this from having walked

we're just learning laura, those hundred arrests, both from columbia university on city college, which saw some protests tonight i'm out here now. things are very common. most of the law enforcement presence is gone and now really, we're going to learn more about who some of these people are. and that's going to come tomorrow and the days ahead. and that's going to be significant especially as we learn about the individuals who broke into hamilton hall, which really said all of this off how those individuals not broken into the building, perhaps we wouldn't even be here right now so things have changed because of that and so tomorrow at some point, i assume there'll be in court. they're facing some pretty serious charges, burglary charges, the students that were arrested on campus. will likely mostly face trespassing charges. maybe some other charges. but the most significant charges we'll come from the individuals who broke into hamilton hall. and really i think the nypd is going to make it a focus of theirs to put out information about these individuals who they say some of them are

city, the nation. this is an easy work with no one does it better than in men and women of the n, y, p g last week or fish, as opposed to columbia university and city college for their efforts to develop the situation. they can see all the communication. everyone involved in the pro testers, to their students and staff to feel safe issues. it's in the police department was full about public safety. at the end of the day, that's what we're focused on. our job to keep people safe and the job anywhere at any time we hold upon the n y p and the people of the city of new york will never be locked out. will always work together to keep varsity, say the commissioner or mister mayor. i wonder if you could tell us how many of the people who were arrested. busy inside hamilton, hall and outside were not affiliated with the school, were not students were outside agitators, nor the inside and outside. and i have a 2nd question that got past that question on the drugs to control. so right now, as it breaks down, we have $280.00 to arrest. so as of right now we have 200, a to arrest, a 170 z o's came from city college 119 from columbia. how breaks down to your question,

seeing is that 20 blocks away, 20 blocks north at city college of new york, we are being told that is where a lot of these protesters who left columbia went up, they went to the 20 blocks and they are now on city college of new york territory. we are working our way up there, we do have cameras and we are getting video, trying to turn it around for you right now, but if some of those protests have -- -- we were told that those were a bit more contentious. but you use this cause in the middle east to push forward your agenda, we've said this and many have really repeated this where you have these protesters and a lot of them appear to be the same type of protesters we saw during the george floyd protest and they have changed the chanting. it's no longer no peas no justice or no trust is, no. it's now genocide joe and to like. so what is happening here is it's a new location, a lot of the same crowd that moves into these things. >> trace, i will not by into the gas lighting that this is about israel anymore because i know these students don't know anything about the conflict in the middle east. i want to echo some of aaron's points bec
