i am a columbia alum also.is exquisitely painful to see that red paint splattered over the statue we call the alma mater, a sacred place on campus. it's not the columbia that i knew, either. we had arab friends, i studied middle east studies there. we never felt politics inside or outside the classroom. it was a wonderful place to study. i got to tell you, i don't get it. how can people fly flags of hamas and hezbollah, which are recognized as terrorist organizations by the united states government? that his support for terror. imagine people walking around with an isis flag or an al qaeda flag. with the authorities remain passive in the face of open support of mass terror? i don't understand why that law is not being applied in new york city, frankly. >> john: i want to ask you about the fallout from the murder, the execution of the six hostages over the weekend. because the biden-harris administration had praised netanyahu and israel for agreeing to the terms of a cease-fire, but now they are saying that neta

[cheering] >> brooke: that protest happening on the same day as the funeral of israeli-american hersh goldberg-polin. the white house is condemning the protests. he was an innocent american hostage they brutally murdered, come together and stand against end and against hate and evil that hamas repre

at columbia.ing incidents of anti-semitism recounted in this report are completely unacceptable. they've antithetical to our values and go against the principles of tolerance and inclusivity that is have defined us. columbia has aid saw all these things -- said all these things for so many years, and then there's a moment where there's a group being targeted, and they didn't do anything. what, do you feel safesome do you think things have changed? what's the environment at a columbia? >> well, i'll say that i'm encouraged by president armstrong's words, and i really hope that she acts in a manner that's consistent with her statement. i'll say i'm dispinted -- disappointed and really shocked that the former president failed so spectacularly. you know there was the building takeover on april 29th -- pete: yeah. >> i am worried that since these demonstrators and protesters who violently seized a building faced little to no consequence, i'm concerned that this year we'll see an escalation because if t

columbia handled the protest?ident gone and deans gone s. that enough? >> terribly, that would be an understatement. i have to go to a dei session on anti-semitism and islam phobia this past week, and instead of actually educating us about both of those social ails, the instructor then decided to go on anti-semitic tirade and when i say anti-semitism has not been eradicated from the university and administration turned a blind eye, i'm appalled. stuart: anti-semitism on campus is not going away. what should columbia be doing about this? >> well, stop letting children run the joint and show real courageous leadership and spend for real that students that deface property on statues and disrupt over kids from going to class and commit actual crimes. anyone outside preventing kids from getting in should be arrested by the nypd and it's really easy to take an adult approach. instead, you can't expect columbia to do it and why are they holding sessions and sessions of anti-semitism and islam phobia and they're outside h

columbia, one of the frustrating things, columbia last year said the people, the students who occupiedre going to be expelled and now we learn none of those kids were expelled, they are all back on campus. what do you think about that? >> i mean what's crazy to me as they actually broke the law. they took hostages. i'm not surprised that the hostage takers are aligning themselves with the hostage takers in another country, but it's especially i imagine terrifying to witness all of this on the heels of an american citizen being executed by these terrorists. and then walking through a campus and facing people who sympathize with the executioners. >> trace: that's exactly right. ten seconds but i'm wondering what you think of those people who took over that hall being back sitting next to you in class for all intents and purposes? >> i think it's horrible. i think is a jewish community, this past weekend we struggled more than we might have since october 7th and now these people i see on campus, i see them in the hallway, i sit next to them in class and it's really giving me a feeling of

those images out of columbia. no one is going to forget any time soon.mages we saw yesterday are quite stunning, especially in a place like new york city where there is a huge jewish american population. whether or not we see a more forceful push back at this point, it's unclear. and there is obviously going to be some electoral calculus when it comes to any of this messaging when you look at places like michigan a battleground state where there is a large arab american population there as well. >> brian: thanks so much, mark. it's upside down world. have you six hostages. one of which was an american, executed, the prime minister of israel that's getting the below back. it is our president of the united states who pressed on the prime minister saying is he not doing everything possible to bring them back. can you believe that? and then in new york city, 7,000 people show up organized. obviously, and they march and cops can't stop them. they tried to get in this ware way before they got washington square park. they kicked them aside. why is that in the g

from columbia, alexis mcadams on the west side.>> it is a first day in college of the protests and vandalism in a couple of rats? that is exactly what happened here at columbia university on new york city's upper west side. the school saying they are planning to keep everything under control and focus on keeping people safe here on campus. so this comes as we are expecting to see a sit-end, a school organization here, a student organization, calling on people to disrupt a class taught by hillary clinton saying the former secretary of state has blood on her hands here with gaza. this comes as protests went on. watch. this was happening outside the campus gates at columbia yesterday. more than 100 masked demonstrators marching. they wouldn't talk unless they had their masks on, they told me, calling this university a war machine. >> i just wonder, do you think it's going to be a lot of protests this year? last year people thought it was disruptive and they were upset. what do you think will happen this year? >> we have been very clea

[crowd shouting angrily] - the student demands: no more secret military research, no more construction on land in harlem, and no punishment for occupying the buildings. - people slept in sleeping bags, they slept on the floor. and we were constantly brought supplies. and tossed them up to the windows. within a couple of days, we were occupying five buildings. nobody could go to classes. - we hope very much that some settlement can be work

take a look at columbia, there have been adjustments and security measures. the president is gone, administrators have been removed and they are checking ids at the gate. people that i talked to last semester said they were not coming back to this school because they did not feel safe. >> brian: they made recommendations, that are ridiculous. simplify reporting antisemitism. working definition of antisemitism. improved anti-bias and antisemitism training for all staff. talk about urgency, that is hardly what that report reveals. >> yeah, students thought these months go by and maybe they will have changes on campus and have more things come up. i don't think anything brand new came out. yeah, ramifications. people don't feel safe. >> ainsley: this is an ivy league school, hard to get in and stay in. how are students studying when this happening on campus? >> last year they said they could not go to the local library. they were studying in their dorm room. a girl said she had to move her dorm, she had a star on her door and people would bang on it. her parents
