universities, the president and the, the administrators. those are in charge of the university also know what the pictures to look like. so they are waiting, but others we have to the speaker of the house of representatives. my junk coming to columbia university a few days ago. even calling for the national guard to be sent in. so we can be sure that many are asking for the president of the university in columbia to act quicker, not to send out statements, but also and let these protest as to expel them. and to also have that suspenses. but if we see in here from the students that are inside, they said they will not back down. they will continue approaching us because i'm university to dentist. from all the companies that are holding to them profit from is rose, war and gaza. i do to be correspondent correspondent ben. you mean alvarez gruber at columbia university in new york city. thank you very much. and let's go down to some other stories making headlines around the world. donald trump has been held in contempt and find $9000.00 in his harsh money trial in new york. the judge said the former us president had repeatedly violated a gag order barring him from speaking public

the house of representatives. speaker, mike johnson accused the university administration of failing to counter the actions of those. he called terrorist sympathizes. what's happening on the campuses though, especially these private and the i believe universities that are not allowing law enforcement to come in, they're not inviting them to do their job and bring orders, the chaos. those are the policy changes that were demanding. and if they don't, don't correct this quickly, you will see congress respond in time. what are university officials waiting on? what do they need to see before they stand up to these terrorist sympathizers? and that is exactly what they are. all say correspondents caleb mobility of visited the scene of the protests and they columbia university and spoke with some of the pro testers, the track the board, the palace and has now gone national university soon to set up, examines and are holding co chests around the clock and the arrest numbers are now in the 1000 the now we've been covering the situation here at columbia from the beginning, but recently got much more intense at this point. padlocks have been placed and all the campus doors. and we have students that are still inside who not only have their encampment, bu

university administrators not to acknowledge that, at least stefanik has donaghy rowic work in the house education and workforce committee hearings and those clips have gone viral because she asked university administration, some of the elite universities, some of the top universities in america, if they could simply say that the calling for the genocide or the elimination of their fellow classmates closes -- crosses the line or not and they couldn't say it. they equivocate each time. it's shocking to the american people. it's shocking to us and we got to re-establish where the lines are here. this is out of control, and i think everybody in america -- every person of good conscience understands that. when we were on campus at columbia, we saw flyers, the jewish students had flyers that they had taken off poles and trees that is literal images of the nazi in the 1930's. one of them had a skunk with a star of david on. eliminate these people. stamped on the bottom, columbia university. this is out of control. we got to -- we got to protect the innocent students there and we got to say clearly, without any equivocation, that anti-semitism is wrong and we need to stamp it. i think it's incumbent on every leader to do and it's shocking to me that t

universities in california are on strike. they say the union contracts are violated by university administrators who quoted in police to suppress garza solidarity process. or by those reports in los angeles. on the campus of the university of california, los angeles, unionized student teachers, researchers and the lab assistants set up a pick up line on the very spot where it gaza solidarity protests was broken up by ryan police. earlier this month. the student workers say their rights were violated then, and they are demanding now that the university of california system declare amnesty from reprisals for any students or faculty members who participated in the protests, it means the classes are cancelled and students won't be getting well. first, exams and other tests and, and assignments will not be administered, you know, university next diploma is that that's the kind of faster it is. and so we can withhold the degree of the grades and make the diplomas. that's an impact we can have on the functioning of the university. and hopefully that will push the administration to actually to the university of california says the labor stoppage is illegal because it violates the no strike clause. in the union's contract, it asked

of representatives, speaker mike jones, nick hughes, the university administration of failing to come to the actions of those. he describes this terrorist sympathizers happening on the campuses though, especially these private and the i believe universities that are not allowing law enforcement to come in. they're not inviting them to do their job and bring orders, the chaos. those are the policy changes that were demanding. and if they don't, don't correct this quickly, you will see congress respond and kind. what are university officials waiting on? what do they need to see before they stand up to these terrorist sympathizers? and that is exactly what they are locked is caleb more pin or the visiting the scene of the process at columbia university and spoke with the protest attracted the board, the pass. the names are now gone. national university students are set up environments and are holding co tests around the clock and the arrest numbers are now in the 1000. the .

premises of the university, it all happened at night, now it seems that there was an assault by the police, the administration of the owner of the university is threatening the students, who started thosepro-palestinian students who started. all disturbances are their exclusion, here, by the way, there is such an interesting moment when two such tall blonds defend the gate of the university of one of premises from the crowd in masks, so to speak asian, most likely the origin of others or students or the protest of the protesters, we do not know, it is some kind of rather almost caricature sketch on the subject of this takeover of columbia university. aunt, by the way, well, many famous people react in some way, for example, hollywood actor, star of the comedian series michael rapport also posted a video on his twitter, where he also came to these protesters today and writes that he checked how things were going near the columbia university itself, and i do not amazed free palestine from hamas that 's the right message and... i'd applaud any of these protestants if they brought it up but if you just hate jews you're going to lose that's how hot things are at columbia university, and we

different universities in the last weeks, do you think that potentially it is a way of avoiding confronting some of the issues here? are the protesters asking the administration of those universitiesder these things and mark we are discussing a protest movement and we are discussing their police. what we are not discussing it said 34,000 what we are not discussing it said 311,000 people had died in gaza. many people are also facing famine. they have called women's clubs and democratic party headquarters to try and convince people rather than polarise them. what we have seen is that from the 1960s, that campus protests are a sideshow. real politics take place off—campus. people have to realise that. i politics take place off-campus. people have to realise that. i know this is a difficult _ people have to realise that. i know this is a difficult question, - people have to realise that. i know this is a difficult question, but - people have to realise that. i know this is a difficult question, but do | this is a difficult question, but do you think that this is the end of the protest or do you anticipate in the protest or do you anticipate in the coming days that they will reappear o

the scope of those rules. haidi: have we heard every action from universities and researchers that are involved? optically, this is challenging. >> yes, i spoke with a bunch of university administrators and also the researchers, and they were all very surprised to learn of huawei's involvement. the issue is that many u.s. universities in particular several years ago decided to ban researchers from having any interaction with huawei because they were concerned it could put their own access to u.s. government funding at risk. so it has created a very strange situation where these researchers who applied with their universities' approval -- some of these people won money that is going to fund very interesting science research, but, you know, had their universities known that huawei was funding this, they may not have been able to enter this competition. annabelle: that was our tech and national security reporter kate o'keefe with that bloomberg exclusive. sony and apollo are said to have made a $26 billion proposal to buy a media giant. let's get more familiar reporter who leads our media and entertainment coverage. this offer is being described as a nonbinding expression of interest. t

of those campuses at brown university at evergreen university. at about, i think it's up to about 8 or 10. now, the students have succeeded through the use of their encampments of persuading the administration to at least begin the process of negotiating over major divestment campaigns to pull their massive amounts of money. these are universities with multimillion dollar, in some cases, 1000000000 dollar endowments, where they have traditionally invested in corporations that make a great deal of money through the is really occupation to the is railway system of apartheid. and now they are having to negotiate with the students to we move that to pull out those investments. so we are seeing a shift and it's taking place in a moment when we have these uncommitted votes during the primary election season, where somewhere over 600000 primary voters, but huge numbers in many of them in case what we called swing states states that are really, in clay, for the november election, i sent a message to president buying and saying, we can't vote for you with these policies. you must change your policy if you expect to get the vote of young people, of the arab american community of the black community.

of representatives, speak up, mike johnson, a choose the university administration failing to come to the actions of those that he described as being terrorist synthesizes. what's happening on the campuses though, especially these private and the ivy league universities that are not allowing law enforcement to come in. they're not inviting them to do their job and bring orders, the chaos. those are the policy changes that were demanding. and if they don't, don't correct this quickly, you will see congress responding kind. what are university officials waiting on? what do they need to see before they stand up to these terrorist sympathizers? and that is exactly what they are. all things corresponding kind of open has been covering this story for us early a visiting the scene of the process near columbia university in new york. and speaking with some of the protesters that on the track the board, the palestinians are now gone. national university soon says setup examines and are holding co. chester round the clock and the arrest numbers are now in the 1000. the now we've been covering the situation here at columbia from the beginning, but it recently got much more intense. at this point. padlocks have been placed and all the campus doors, and we have students that are still inside who not only have their encampment, but they've taken over a campus building called hamilton hall. now they are anticipating a pending arrest at the hands of the new york city police department. and a number of students have already been suspended us lawmakers now say they want anti semitism monitors dispatched the universities around the country. they perceive the protesters as somehow menacing. your students, c

universities should be a safe space. there are rules and regulations governing the conduct of individuals on campuses, and it's on the administrators, , te leadership of those universities make sure that those rules are followed consistent with our rights as american citizens. >> okay. we will go back to work panel and bring up david wildstein who is a question for mayor bhalla. >> mayor, this is you have the right to defend itself? and does the united states have an obligation to defend israel as it would do for any of our allies are under attack, whether by another nation or by a terroristte group? and the third part of this questionti is, how should the vt community needs and gazan and for the hostages be met? >> israel has an absolute right to defend itself. america should support israel and its right to defend itself. there needs to be unfettered access of humanitarian aid in the gaza strip. we are in a situation now where after october 7, nothing like that, nothing like that has happened to the jewish people since theto holocaust. that was something that would never and should never be forgotten and should never happen again. at the same time we need to encourage our friends in israel to i exercise restraint in the response to those attacks. aware of the fact that those responses at times have been inconsistent with our values as americans. we need to also speak out about that. i support a negotiated ceasefire that includes the release of all hostages and unfettered access to humanitarian aid into the gaza strip. i think we need to move forward into a phase where we can realize a two-state solution that recognizes israel's pre-existing right to exist as well as the right of an independent palestinian state with equal footing as israel, jordan, lebanon and egypt. >> congressman, over to you. >> yes, israel has a right to defend itself. yes, israel is an ally of the united states. they are what ever most important strategic partners. that's what i was proud to vote for theou aid package that supported our ally while also surging humanitarian aid to so many regions that are in need of that aid including gaza. this is an issue that is critically important. we have to continue to navigate and continue toic move forward because the reality is no one wants to see what's happening today occur for one day longer. we need to continue to work with all of our allies, all of our partners, try to move out of the phase were in so we can start rebuilding to future that looks much different than what we're seeing today.g when netanyahu said that a two-state solution wasn't a viable option, we spoke out against that and will continue to. we need to build a foundation for which we can develop an idea of what a long-term peaceful solution that's durable everything looks like. that's incumbent upon all of us and we're committed to that wor work. >> closer related, what is your view of what the criteria should be for when the united states should give federal aid or withhold it? unsought, foreign aid, i apologize. >> we live in an extremely complicated world right now. when i announced i was running for congress in 2022 on a few months thereafter russia invaded ukraine. we have china posturing in the red sea. we have an aggressive iran using proxies across the globe to attack our allies. first we need to make sure we are supporting our allies. make sure we'reou standing strog and send a clear vision message that we will not abandon our allies and we are in this with them to ensure we have a safer future for allll of our global citizens. to ensure we are beating back authority and regimes, to make sure we arere uplifting democrac values across the globe. these are complicated times. these are difficult conversations that we do have an obligation to be clear to our allies that we are here, we will stand strong with them, we will notil back down to someone like vladimir putin and weik will kep fighting alongside them to make sure we get better tomorrows we have more democratic future, where more citizens across the globe. >> mayor, your turn. >> thank you. it's a great question. the short answer is we need to have a more surgical approach in determining whether or not to incorporate for aid to any country, including and especially our most friendly countries. we should do so in a way that is consistent with our values as americans. we should do so in a way that does not undermine critical values such as the protection of human rights, the role of international law. we should not provide foreign aid to governments where we see a human rights record that's not consistent with our valuest as americans. so we need to look closely at every situation where we provide assistance to a foreign government and make sure that assistance is being used to advance american values, not sea them back. >> joey fox your next and that question goes to thehe mayor first.ot >> in other big bills that caucuses passed recently, last month both the house and senate reauthorized a program that allowsiz the government to wirelessly surveilled noncitizens and also shot down a proposed amendment that would prohibit any warrantless surveillance of americans. so my question is how would you have voted on both of those votes? the reauthorization bill and on the amendment. >> searches of americans needlessly say by definition violate the rights of people under the fourth amendment, the right to privacy. we need to make sure any legislation that's passed speaks to the rights of individuals. not to be subjected to warrantless searchesje and seizures in any context. any reauthorization of a bill that would advance the right to conduct a warrantless search should not be supported, and any legislation that advanced the checks on warrantless searches to make sure that they don't occur should be supported. >> congressman, one minute to respond. >> thanks. this is one ofu the issues that we took a deep dive in when we were in washington having this conversation between the intel and judiciary committees. a lot of really thoughtful conversation amongst the caucus about the best pathway forward. our approach was towa listen to both sides, to listen to intel's view of the pathway for, listen to judiciaries view of the pathway forward. ultimately relying on the intel community guidance on this issue. because represent a district that was so deeply impacted by s 9/11 we cannot have security failure. we have an obligation to keep our residents safe every single day. as we consider in piece of legislation we will always consider what the experts say especially comes to how we seek to protect allll of our residen. >> it's time now in our debate whether going to let our candidates ask each other a question. first question will go to mr. bhalla. you have 30 seconds to ask your question, answer for 30, answer for 60 seconds and then a respoe for 30 seconds. so again your question to mr. menendez. >> that's my question. >> correct. that is your question. >> okay. congressman menendez, and light of the four indictments that it of an headed down against her father as as a valid evidence against him, when he returned the $20,000 inre contributions your fathers leadership pac has given to your campaign, yes or no? >> yeah, so as i mentioned at the beginning imminent opening we knew that ultimately you're going to keep interjecting my father intont this. it'sfo unfortunate because we ae really here to talkk about our track record of delivering for the eighth congressional district. talking with a broad coalition of support that we have. what a having giving any consideration to what i'm going to do with any particular contribution whether for my father or anybody else. >> you have 30 seconds to respond. >> yeah. i find it shocking you have even considered, even right now when asking you the question, whether or not you would return contributions from your father was under indictment. or any contributions for that matter. the fact that my contributions come fromm individuals, whereas your contributions come from corporaterp tax lobbyists and special interests is not surprising when you look at the vote you taken in congress and you see that you are controlled of thed people, by lobbyists, where as my, i answer to the people of the eighth congressional district. >> mr. menendez. >> i have to quickly say, i mean, if you're talking a contributions and you we are accountable to, half of the contributions come from the state of california so it'sif almost like you be a representative out of their tha you would for the eighth congressionalti district. second, listen, when we saw those 1500 cases, those of the people who live here. both of the people we hedges. you look at our work and track record. would a living for the residents of the eighth congressional district. no one except yours any doubt about that and we will keep delivering for the residents of the eighth congressional district. >> so you will not return as contributions. >> mr. menendez you have ae question for the mayor. >> yeah, thank you. i'm going to read this one. as you know we've been exiting the productive and a a for our district. specifically for hoboken. here are a few examples. we introduced a bill that would allow hoboken to access funding to assist in house individual. >> we secured almost $1 million to upgrade hoboken water infrastructure. we secured nearly $1 million for technology to prepare for extreme weather events. my questionst is, in your opinin which of those projects will benefit the residents ofe hobokn the most? >> those projects in their totality in terms of your contributions are respectfully a drop in a bucket of much larger project that we've undertaken as a city. talk about drydock. yes, , you helped us with the ay corps of engineers, congressman but that's only about 1% of the seven-year fight to protect and preserve our waterfront. that fight was led by mayor bhalla, , led by me, everyone tt fight. so to say that you helped a little bit, you are a small part of that, sure, you get that credit. but please don't outsize what you could do in congress two of the city of hoboken. the buck stops with me as a. everything we've done hoboken whether it's help from state legislator, county official, federal official is all great but at the end of the day i've got to run my city on my own merits and i done so successfully. with your partnership but at the end of the day, the buck stops with me and o a proud of our record. >> you have 30 seconds. >> i do appreciate partnering together and that's why enjoyed hosting in washington, one of the first people to visit. i talk about the priorities we had a lighter appreciate your credit we help with the union drydock. it is an important issue and that's why we jumped in and givd whatever we could with the army corps ofe engineers. i didn't even reference a project in my question. my question was related to three other projects that we've assisted with. i was wondering in your opinion which one would benefit the residents of hoboken the most. i thought it was a pretty benign question especially compared to the one that u.s. if you don't want to answer that's fine. a lot of the work we do benefits the residents of hoboken. we're proud about the work and proud to continue doing it because we really love all of our resident and of all municipalities in the eighth congressional district. >> were going to go back to our panel. david wildstein has next question and that goes to mr. menendez c. >> thank you. new jersey's eight the district has a large human population. now not just first-generation, second, third, fourth generation cuban-americans. what's the future of relations between the united states and cuba? do you believe the easing of restrictions between the u.s. and cuba will foster democracy, or will they instead just fortify the current communist regime? >> we been here for a and for a free democratic cuba. that's everyone's dream. there can be differences about how we achieve that but you talk about but anyone of cuban descent. that's what we all want for the present, for the residents of the island. so many of us of cuban descent want to go back to a free democratic cuba. we have to continue to push to do that. there are a lot of different points of view on this issue. we should listen to folks on this issue. ultimately, there is complete agreement that what we want more than anything is for the people of cuba to finally have a free, liberated island. we will continue to work on every single day that i have the honor of serving the house of representatives. >> mr. bhalla, youror response. >> right now the current cuban government is still engaged in human rights violations. it's not a democratic government. the people that suffer the most are the cuban people. u.s. policy in previous years has been misdirected. in a way that has furthered that suffering. we need policies to allow more interaction between cuban-americans, other americans and the cuban people is good for the cuban people. we have to keep the cuban people first, second, third in the forefront of her might in terms of the best foreign policy. reasonable restrictions, gaining more access to tourism, educational opportunities, trade is all good for the cuban people as well as pressuring the government to open up to a more democratic system for that country. >> david, a follow-up? >> yes quickly. just a couple seconds. mayor bhalla said he supports loosening restrictions. do you agree with him? should restrictions be loosened on u.s.-cuban relations? >> i don't think loosening restrictions without any sort of return on the loosening of restrictions is good foreign policy. having to entertain any option people put forth as long as in we move forward towards a career cuba. that's the give-and-take. in my opinion when you saw the loosening of restrictions you didn't get the return on investment in terms of moving cuba towards a a freer more democratic society. that's the complexity. such is about saying no. it's what you get a return of what aging to advance the democracy on the island? that's the question. that's how i would always approach it. >> mayor, did you chance to jump in as well. >> just briefly. the reasonable restrictions, sure, there has to come with some assurances that is going to be some benefit to the cuban people but in and of itself that is a benefit -- [inaudible] we want to get out of that. we need to move past, we need to move forward towards more interaction between the cuban people and the american people so that we can get to a stable place in the future. >> if i could quickly pushed back. i don't think the losing of restrictions under previous administrations has got what want. to do it for the sake of doing it because they it may crea better outcome is not a results oriented approach to the island. so i would say i different there. >> okay. a question for mayor bhalla. >> the public's axes to public records, to government records is absolutely an essential goal and an important tool for citizens and franca for legislators legislators who were in the minority when the other party is in the majority and has control of the government. it's an extremely important tool. it's been an extremely important tool to democrats in the house over the years. it also requires a strong commitment. new jersey is having to grapple with the questionth about what records all should look like. hoboken is in court right over a case of of whether or not information was provided that should've been provided. what should our public records, what is your vision for what public records axis should look like? in the federal government and for any government, frankly. >> the more we can expand public access to government records, we can have more transparent democracy, , whether it's at the state level or the federal level. i see a disturbing trend in the state of new jersey with legislators trying to restrict access under what's called the open public records act. that's disturbing. i understand the counter arguments about it, it's burdensome. but at the end of the day these are the public's records, the public has a right to know how their government official are communicating, how their government officials are acting and trying to create loopholes to obfuscate their obligation by something that i will fight against, whether it's oprah or the foia act. >> mr. menendez? >> we appreciate this question. transparency in government is strictly the board whether it's at the local, county or state or federal level. i think first you have to make sure we're complying with the laws as they are. i think t that something hoboken has been challenged with especially in terms of timeliness of response, delaying opa requested recently hoboken p.a. actually counseled peoples text message on a project to form a was involved in. i don't believe we should be weaponizing. i don't think we should be preventing people from the access to it. we tesla should not consider any future laws for regulation that would limit peoples access to government dockins. it's a starting point though we should make sure we're complying with existing law. >> our next question comes from joey and goes to congressman menendez. >> in this patent mayor bhalla said he support medicare for all. america for all bill announced which you have not cosponsored, such as what is at an is this a policy you would be opening to support? if not what of the policy to pick a democratic majority in congress should be pursuing? >> yeah, great question and thanks for friend it that way, joey. one is we believe in universal healthcare. the questions how do we achieve it? something my colleague andy kim and i are in agreement about. we should keep all options on the table and the something i would absolutely do. when democrats take back control of the house. in the interim we have to find ways to do things like qualified health centers, making sure we're pushing back the republicans attempt to roll back the affordable care act, roll back a woman's right to be productive axes. rolling back a woman's access to contraception. we have to do all these things. we have to stand tall against mag extremism and their attempts to roll back the rights we've had, rollback rx of healthcare. something we don't have sealed in taking office and will be take back majority will consider any legislative option that expense healthcare for our residents. >> mayor, your response. >> i support medicare for all. the congressman has been indicated he support medicare for all, so i can always assume he does not support medicare for

administrations take notes from my friend in utah who has taken swift action to stop demonstrations before things turn violent. austin university said half of those arrested monday had no affiliation with the university of. in other words, the mainstream media would have you understand or would suggest that these are somehow students who are outraged at what is happening in the middle east. but in fact in texas -- and i bet the same number holds in other parts of the country -- that nearly half of those are not students at these institutions. what they did find when they arrested some of these outside agitators was guns, mallets and other weapons that were confiscated by law enforcement. these obviously are people not interested in peaceful protests. these are funded by many of the same outside groups like george soros, other dark money groups that support antifa and other riots that we've seen in our american cities in the past few years. the right to peaceful protest is a fundamental right, as i started out by saying. it does not grant any of us the ability to damage property, threaten the safety of others or violate the rules of our university campuses. senator langford. >> thanks for pulling this to
