Latest / The Ben Ferguson Podcast / Federal Actions Against Campus Antisemitism: A New Era of Accountability
Transcript
- 0:02Speaker 1: Finally, some justice for the radicals on college campuses, as
- 0:08Speaker 1: ICE has come in and arrested a radical pro Palestinian
- 0:12Speaker 1: activist at Columbia University, and that activist may now face deportation.
- 0:19Speaker 1: Now I'm going to give you the details on that
- 0:21Speaker 1: story in a moment, which.
- 0:23Speaker 2: We should all be excited about.
- 0:25Speaker 1: But let me go back in time and remind you
- 0:27Speaker 1: of what happened after the most brutal attack on the
- 0:33Speaker 1: Jews since the Holocaust. When that happened, there were pro
- 0:38Speaker 1: Palastinian groups that were clearly paid and funded by dark money,
- 0:43Speaker 1: as I describe it, on college campuses, and on some
- 0:47Speaker 1: of those college campuses, they even took over college buildings
- 0:50Speaker 1: and built encampments. They actually broke into some of the
- 0:52Speaker 1: college buildings, and we witnessed the presidents of those schools,
- 0:57Speaker 1: many of those schools that were anti Semitic, that went
- 1:00Speaker 1: before Congress, many of them losing their jobs after their
- 1:04Speaker 1: testimony was so anti semitic. Now you go back and
- 1:09Speaker 1: in recent years we've now seen numerous anti Israel protests
- 1:13Speaker 1: that have erupted and not anywhere significant except for US
- 1:18Speaker 1: college campis this is all being paid for by someone,
- 1:20Speaker 1: This is all being led behind the scenes. Okay, this
- 1:23Speaker 1: is the wizard of Odd, the man behind the curtain.
- 1:26Speaker 1: It has led to a lot of controversies only because
- 1:30Speaker 1: conservatives and people that are pro Israel have tried to
- 1:33Speaker 1: expose exactly what's happening. Let me talk about Columbia University. First,
- 1:39Speaker 1: federal funding has been withdrawn. The Trump administration revoked forty
- 1:43Speaker 1: million in federal grants and contracts to Columbia University, citing
- 1:47Speaker 1: the institution's failure to address anti Semitic behavior on campus.
- 1:52Speaker 1: This action was part of a broader initiative against universities
- 1:55Speaker 1: perceived as lenient towards anti Semitic activities. You also had
- 2:00Speaker 1: a Palestinian graduate student and the prominent leader of anti
- 2:05Speaker 1: Israel protests at Columbia that was finally detained. That was
- 2:08Speaker 1: the headline I gave you earlier, and I'm going to
- 2:10Speaker 1: come back to that in just a second. But let's
- 2:14Speaker 1: look at other universities. The University of California, you know
- 2:17Speaker 1: it is u SE. The Department of Justice has now
- 2:21Speaker 1: involved an investigation there. The Department of Justice launched an
- 2:25Speaker 1: investigation in the UC system to determine if it permitted
- 2:28Speaker 1: a hostile environment purposely against Jewish or Israeli employees, potentially
- 2:34Speaker 1: violating the Civil Rights Act.
- 2:36Speaker 2: The probe underscores the heightened scrutiny.
- 2:40Speaker 1: University's face regarding campus anti semitism since Donald Trump has
- 2:43Speaker 1: been elected.
- 2:45Speaker 2: There was also settlement agreements.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Five UC campuses reached settlements to resolve civil rights complaints
- 2:53Speaker 1: related to the Gods of protests. The agreements involved reviewing
- 2:58Speaker 1: past complaints, implementing quote policy changes, conducting training, and addressing
- 3:04Speaker 1: campus discrimination, reflecting efforts to address and mitigate such issues
- 3:10Speaker 1: because they knew clearly they were wrong. Other notable incidents
- 3:14Speaker 1: happen at Yale University.
- 3:16Speaker 2: For example, the.
- 3:18Speaker 1: Anti Defamation Leagues campus Anti Semitism report card to sign
- 3:22Speaker 1: Yelle a D grade due to several anti Semitic and
- 3:26Speaker 1: anti Zionist incidents, including a title non investigation and the
- 3:31Speaker 1: distribution of anti Semitic flyers. Despite these challenges, Jewish life
- 3:37Speaker 1: on campus well, thank goodness, the Jewish students are remaining
- 3:41Speaker 1: active and the university has now recently initiated quote measures
- 3:45Speaker 1: to address the concerns quote unquote. Let's move from there
- 3:49Speaker 1: to Dartmouth College under the president there of the university's
- 3:53Speaker 1: leadership Dartmouth maintained relative calm during the nationwide campus protests
- 3:58Speaker 1: related to the Gauza conflict, emphasizing civil discourse and mental wellness,
- 4:03Speaker 1: and the administration fostered open discussions, earning praise for balancing
- 4:08Speaker 1: quote free expression or campus with campus order. They did
- 4:12Speaker 1: it different than many other places. Now, some of these instances,
- 4:16Speaker 1: they just highlight the complexities that if you've got a
- 4:21Speaker 1: liberal leadership, you're in favor of these anti Israel viewpoints,
- 4:26Speaker 1: these these Zionus anti Semitic viewpoints. But what the Trump
- 4:30Speaker 1: administration said was, We're not going to keep giving you
- 4:33Speaker 1: money to attack the Jews, like that's something we're not
- 4:36Speaker 1: going to do. I want to talk to you real
- 4:38Speaker 1: quick about an incredible organization called the IFCJ and the
- 4:43Speaker 1: work that they're doing for the people in Israel. If
- 4:47Speaker 1: you want to help, then listen to me for the
- 4:49Speaker 1: next minute. Because after more than a year of war,
- 4:52Speaker 1: tear and pain in Israel, all of Israel is broken
- 4:56Speaker 1: hearted after learning of the tragic deaths of the Bischo
- 5:00Speaker 1: children who were held hostage in Gaza, and so many
- 5:03Speaker 1: are still hurting throughout the Holy Land, where the need
- 5:06Speaker 1: for aid continues to actually grow. The International Fellowship of
- 5:10Speaker 1: Christians and Jews has supported and continues to support the
- 5:13Speaker 1: families of hostages and other victims of the October seventh
- 5:17Speaker 1: terror attacks, and with your help, IFCJ has provided financial
- 5:22Speaker 1: and emotional help to hostages and their families, and to
- 5:26Speaker 1: those healing and rebuilding their broken homes and broken bodies.
- 5:29Speaker 1: But the real work is just beginning, and that's why
- 5:33Speaker 1: your gift is helping to provide critically needed support for
- 5:36Speaker 1: families in Israel whose lives continue to be destroyed by
- 5:40Speaker 1: terror and uncertainty.
- 5:41Speaker 2: Is Israel remains surrounded by enemies.
- 5:44Speaker 1: You can give a gift to bless Israel and her
- 5:46Speaker 1: people by visiting support IFCJ dot org. That's one word
- 5:53Speaker 1: support IFCJ dot org. Or you can call to give
- 5:58Speaker 1: eight at eight four eight am eight IFCJ. That's triple
- 6:02Speaker 1: eight for eight eight IFCJ eight eight eight for eight
- 6:07Speaker 1: eight IFCJ are all online at support IFCJ dot org.
- 6:14Speaker 1: You fast forward now to the big story. US Immigration
- 6:18Speaker 1: and Customs Enforcement ICE arrested Mohammad Khali or Ka Lily,
- 6:25Speaker 1: however you say it, a Palestinian activists who graduated from
- 6:29Speaker 1: Columbia University and led radical protests there on Saturday, a
- 6:34Speaker 1: sign of the Trump administration's crackdown. President Donald Trump campaigned
- 6:39Speaker 1: on a promise to deport foreign students who were well promoting, advocating,
- 6:46Speaker 1: and being a part of anti Israel and anti Semitic protests,
- 6:50Speaker 1: specifically on college campuses, which exploded under Joe Biden the
- 6:56Speaker 1: wake of the October seventh, twenty twenty three, terror attack
- 6:59Speaker 1: by Hamas in Israel. Barely ten days after taking office,
- 7:03Speaker 1: Trump signed executive order combating anti Semitism on campus, in
- 7:07Speaker 1: which he mentioned that foreign students involved in radical protests
- 7:11Speaker 1: could be deported. Last week, Trump reiterated that threat on
- 7:14Speaker 1: his true social platform, warning agitators they would be deported,
- 7:18Speaker 1: making it clear yet again, I'm not putting up with you.
- 7:22Speaker 2: In fact, the President made it very simple. This is
- 7:24Speaker 2: what he said. Quote.
- 7:25Speaker 1: All federal funding will stop for any college, school, or
- 7:28Speaker 1: university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or
- 7:33Speaker 1: permanently sent back to the country from which they came.
- 7:37Speaker 1: American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested.
- 7:42Speaker 2: No masks. He says, thank you for your attention to
- 7:45Speaker 2: this matter.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Many of the students have been wearing masks so that
- 7:49Speaker 1: we wouldn't know who they were. Many of the agitators
- 7:51Speaker 1: have been wearing masks so we wouldn't know who they were. Well,
- 7:55Speaker 1: Donald Trump made good on this promise on Saturday. Columbia
- 7:59Speaker 1: Universe see the apartheid Dives leader who completed his graduate
- 8:05Speaker 1: studies at the Ivy League Columbia December, also potentially faces
- 8:10Speaker 1: having his visa revoked and his green card canceled following
- 8:13Speaker 1: Trump's crackdown that at the college. An attorney, Amy Grier
- 8:18Speaker 1: said on Sunday he was inside his university owned apartment
- 8:22Speaker 1: a few bocks from the campus Saturday night when ICE
- 8:25Speaker 1: agents entered the resident and took him into custody. Despite
- 8:28Speaker 1: graduating months ago, the man, who earned his undergraduate degree
- 8:31Speaker 1: in Beirut still lived in school provided housing due to
- 8:34Speaker 1: a policy allowing students to remain on campus after graduating.
- 8:38Speaker 2: A source told The New York Post.
- 8:41Speaker 1: The Trump administration, on top of this, canceled some four
- 8:44Speaker 1: hundred million of those grants to Columbia last week because
- 8:47Speaker 1: it is perceived because of its quote perceived decision to
- 8:50Speaker 1: ignore anti semitism, campus activists have continued to protest against
- 8:54Speaker 1: Israel and endorsing violence. The President said, yeah, getting away
- 9:00Speaker 1: with that in the United States anymore.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Now.
- 9:03Speaker 1: There are many that are upset about this and they
- 9:05Speaker 1: can't believe that the president of United States of America
- 9:07Speaker 1: would stand up for a policy like this where you
- 9:10Speaker 1: cannot come.
- 9:11Speaker 2: And by the way, there's two parts of this.
- 9:14Speaker 1: I want to be clear so that people understand what
- 9:16Speaker 1: the presidents saying is saying. If you are a guest
- 9:18Speaker 1: of this country and you are in this country on
- 9:20Speaker 1: a visa, green card, whatever, and you are advocating, supporting
- 9:24Speaker 1: and supporting violence and are anti Semitic as you described it,
- 9:30Speaker 1: I'm just going to tell you right now, we're not
- 9:32Speaker 1: putting up with it.
- 9:33Speaker 2: You're not welcome to.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Come into the United States of America and act this way.
- 9:38Speaker 1: That is not a crazy idea, That is not a
- 9:42Speaker 1: radical idea. That is that is a a you're a
- 9:46Speaker 1: guest in this country, and when you are a guest
- 9:51Speaker 1: in this country and you act a fool, That's the
- 9:53Speaker 1: simplest way I can put it. When you act a
- 9:56Speaker 1: fool this way, or you become violent or anti semitic
- 10:00Speaker 1: on a college chemistry, you're threatening violence or advocating for
- 10:03Speaker 1: violence or taking over buildings. You don't deserve to be
- 10:07Speaker 1: in America. And that is exactly what the President United
- 10:10Speaker 1: States of America said, and now he's making good on the promise.
- 10:13Speaker 1: I'm glad, by the way, because Jewish students should feel
- 10:17Speaker 1: safe on college campuses. By the way, so should any
- 10:21Speaker 1: other student. I would argue even Palestinian students. They should
- 10:25Speaker 1: feel safe. You should not be targeted. But Jewish students
- 10:29Speaker 1: have been targeted at an unbelievable rate. Now let's talk
- 10:35Speaker 1: about the fallout from this decision for a second, because
- 10:39Speaker 1: that's obviously a part of this. The left is going
- 10:42Speaker 1: to rally behind these people. I can promise you that
- 10:45Speaker 1: like they're going to rally behind them in an incredible way.
- 10:48Speaker 2: And not only.
- 10:49Speaker 1: They're going to rally, they're going to say that we
- 10:51Speaker 1: are silencing free speech. That is not the case. I
- 10:54Speaker 1: think we should be prepared to defend that. What we're
- 10:57Speaker 1: saying is, if you're involved in rats or violence towards
- 11:03Speaker 1: Jewish people, you're not an American citizen, you're from a
- 11:07Speaker 1: foreign country. You're here out of visa. We don't have
- 11:09Speaker 1: to put up with your crap. We're also not taking
- 11:12Speaker 1: away their free speech. That is one of the things
- 11:15Speaker 1: they're gonna lie about. They're gon say, oh, well, you
- 11:17Speaker 1: just took wait no no, breaking into a government building
- 11:20Speaker 1: or a building on a college campus and setting up
- 11:24Speaker 1: encampments and then chanting death to Israel or from the
- 11:29Speaker 1: River to the Sea, and having emails go out to
- 11:33Speaker 1: the Jewish students on campus telling them that we can't
- 11:37Speaker 1: keep you safe from these protesters.
- 11:40Speaker 2: There's a difference there.
- 11:42Speaker 1: I'm all in favor of someone being able to say
- 11:48Speaker 1: what they believe in, but when you turn to violence,
- 11:52Speaker 1: that's just different. And look, everybody knows that like this
- 11:56Speaker 1: isn't people aren't stupid. Everybody knows that this is not dumb,
- 12:01Speaker 1: Like like, I'm not stupid enough to believe otherwise.
- 12:04Speaker 2: And we all know, we all know there's a difference
- 12:08Speaker 2: in those two.
- 12:09Speaker 1: So the president, now the left is going to use this,
- 12:12Speaker 1: I have no doubt as a rallying cry. Like I
- 12:14Speaker 1: have no doubt they're going to use this as a
- 12:16Speaker 1: rallying cry. They're going to say that this is, for
- 12:23Speaker 1: lack of a better way of putting it, they're gonna
- 12:27Speaker 1: say that this is Trump coming in and silencing people.
- 12:33Speaker 2: I also have to go back to the basics here.
- 12:36Speaker 1: If you're from another country and you are a guest
- 12:39Speaker 1: in this country as a student, and you act this
- 12:43Speaker 1: way and become violent, it's game over. It should be
- 12:47Speaker 1: game over. If you don't like that, don't come to America.
- 12:52Speaker 1: If you think this is too extreme. Go to college
- 12:55Speaker 1: in another country like. You can do that, by the way.
- 13:00Speaker 1: You can go to a you can go to college
- 13:02Speaker 1: in another nation like.
- 13:04Speaker 2: You can totally do that.
- 13:05Speaker 1: There are many other great universities around the world, by
- 13:08Speaker 1: the way that I'm sure we'll put up with your
- 13:10Speaker 1: anti semitism, like I have no doubt they will put
- 13:13Speaker 1: up with your anti semitism. You want to go to
- 13:17Speaker 1: another country and be an anti semit there, I'm fine
- 13:20Speaker 1: with it.
- 13:20Speaker 2: Like that's your prerogative. I'm good with it.
- 13:23Speaker 1: Knock yourself out, have a grand old time, enjoy yourself,
- 13:28Speaker 1: and don't come into America. Now, you look specifically at
- 13:33Speaker 1: this dude that we just talked about. Does he deserve
- 13:36Speaker 1: to be in this country doing what he's doing. No,
- 13:40Speaker 1: absolutely not. By the way, we educated this guy, he
- 13:44Speaker 1: graduated from Columbia University. He took a spot I'm sure
- 13:48Speaker 1: away from maybe some incredible American kid, maybe some pro
- 13:53Speaker 1: Palestinian American kid because they.
- 13:56Speaker 2: Let him in.
- 13:57Speaker 1: So like you look at this individual and you think,
- 14:02Speaker 1: is there someone else that could have been served better
- 14:05Speaker 1: because of this? I think you can make the argument yes,
- 14:08Speaker 1: and I don't think that should be controversial either. I'm
- 14:11Speaker 1: also tired of playing the BS game here, like I
- 14:13Speaker 1: really am.
- 14:15Speaker 2: I'm so tired of the PC game. I'm exhausted from it.
- 14:20Speaker 1: You come into this country and you act a fool,
- 14:23Speaker 1: as Donald Trump put it, FAFO, like you want to
- 14:28Speaker 1: screw around. Fafo, see what happens, Watch what happens, Witness
- 14:34Speaker 1: what happens, and then maybe you'll think twice before you
- 14:37Speaker 1: go out there threatening Jewish students or and I go,
- 14:40Speaker 1: I go back to my starlier or any other student. Okay,
- 14:44Speaker 1: like not just Jewish students.
- 14:46Speaker 2: I don't want you.
- 14:47Speaker 1: I don't want Jewish students, for example, to be able
- 14:51Speaker 1: to go after Palestinian students or any other place in
- 14:56Speaker 1: the world. And that is the point here is there's
- 14:59Speaker 1: been a doubles standard. If other people did this, you'd
- 15:02Speaker 1: be kicked out. So why is it that we allow
- 15:05Speaker 1: these anti Semitic students on college campus to have no
- 15:08Speaker 1: accountability for their actions. And it's because many of these
- 15:13Speaker 1: universities are actually anti Semites, the leadership are anti Semitic.
- 15:17Speaker 1: We saw that when all of these university presidents were
- 15:23Speaker 1: sitting there in front of the universities. Remember when they
- 15:27Speaker 1: were all there and they were all testifying, and what
- 15:31Speaker 1: happened when they were testifying.
- 15:34Speaker 2: They were testified ing.
- 15:36Speaker 1: They were testifying on the anti Semitic behavior on their
- 15:39Speaker 1: college campuses and what they were fostering there, and they
- 15:41Speaker 1: didn't care.
- 15:44Speaker 2: They truly did not care.
- 15:48Speaker 1: In fact, let me just play for you Stephanic, at
- 15:51Speaker 1: least Stephonic Congressmen back in the day.
- 15:54Speaker 2: This was at the end of twenty twenty three.
- 15:56Speaker 1: This was in Congress asking a yes or no question
- 16:00Speaker 1: the Harvard president on students calling for the amfatada on campus.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Listen, you're recognized for five minutes, doctor gay, a Harvard
- 16:09Speaker 3: student calling for the mass murder of African Americans? Is
- 16:12Speaker 3: not protected free speech at Harvard?
- 16:14Speaker 4: Correct our commitment.
- 16:17Speaker 2: To it's a yes or no question?
- 16:18Speaker 3: Is that corrected? Is that okay for students to call
- 16:21Speaker 3: for the mass murder of African Americans at Harvard? Is
- 16:23Speaker 3: that protected free speech.
- 16:26Speaker 4: Our commitment to free school.
- 16:27Speaker 2: It's a yes or no question. Let me ask you this.
- 16:31Speaker 3: You are president of Harvard, so I assume you're familiar
- 16:33Speaker 3: with the term into fada.
- 16:34Speaker 2: Correct.
- 16:36Speaker 4: I've heard that term, yes, and.
- 16:38Speaker 3: You understand that the use of the term into fada
- 16:40Speaker 3: in the context of the Israeli Arab conflict is indeed
- 16:43Speaker 3: a call for violent arm resistance against the state of Israel,
- 16:47Speaker 3: including violence against civilians and the genocide of Jews. Are
- 16:50Speaker 3: you aware of.
- 16:51Speaker 4: That that type of hateful speech is personally abhorrent to me?
- 16:57Speaker 3: And there have been multiple marches at Harvard with students
- 16:59Speaker 3: chan quote there is only one solution into fada revolution
- 17:03Speaker 3: and quote globalize the into fada.
- 17:06Speaker 2: Is that correct?
- 17:08Speaker 4: I've heard that thoughtless, reckless, and hateful language on our campuses.
- 17:14Speaker 3: So based upon your testimony, you understand that this call
- 17:18Speaker 3: for intefada is to commit genocide against the Jewish people
- 17:21Speaker 3: in Israel and globally.
- 17:23Speaker 2: Correct.
- 17:24Speaker 4: I will say again that type of hateful speech is
- 17:28Speaker 4: personally abhorrent to me.
- 17:30Speaker 3: Do you believe that type of hateful speech is contrary
- 17:34Speaker 3: to Harvard's code of conduct or is it allowed at Harvard?
- 17:38Speaker 4: It is at odds with the values of Harvard.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Can you not say here that it is against the
- 17:43Speaker 3: code of conduct at Harvard.
- 17:46Speaker 4: We embrace a commitment to free expression, even of views
- 17:50Speaker 4: that are objectionable, offensive, hateful. It's when that speech crosses
- 17:57Speaker 4: into conduct that violates our paul against bullying?
- 18:02Speaker 3: Does that speech not cost that barrier? Does that speech
- 18:05Speaker 3: not call for the genocide of Jews and the elimination
- 18:07Speaker 3: of Israel? When you testify that you understand that is
- 18:11Speaker 3: the definition of intofada? Is that speech according to the
- 18:15Speaker 3: code of conduct or not.
- 18:17Speaker 4: We embrace a commitment to free expression and give a
- 18:20Speaker 4: wide berth to free expression, even of views that are objectionable.
- 18:25Speaker 3: You and I both know that's not the case. You
- 18:27Speaker 3: were aware that Harvard ranked dead last when it came
- 18:30Speaker 3: to free speech? Are you not aware of that report?
- 18:34Speaker 4: As I observed earlier, I reject that characterization.
- 18:39Speaker 2: It's the data shows it's true.
- 18:40Speaker 3: And isn't it true that Harvard previously rescinded multiple offers
- 18:44Speaker 3: of admissions for applicants and accepted freshmen for sharing offensive memes,
- 18:49Speaker 3: racist statements, sometimes as young as sixteen years old. Did
- 18:53Speaker 3: Harvard not rescind those offers of admission.
- 18:55Speaker 4: That long predates my time as present, but you understand.
- 18:58Speaker 3: That Harvard made that decision to those offers of admission.
- 19:02Speaker 1: These are the people that are running our universities and
- 19:06Speaker 1: you can hear it there. While we may have won
- 19:08Speaker 1: this election, the fight to restore our great nation is
- 19:11Speaker 1: only beginning, and now is the time to take a stand,
- 19:14Speaker 1: and Patriot Mobile is leading the charge. It has never
- 19:18Speaker 1: been easier to switch your cell phone than in twenty
- 19:22Speaker 1: twenty five. With technology, you can do it literally over
- 19:25Speaker 1: the phone with a code they send you. It is amazing.
- 19:29Speaker 1: But here's the reason why I use Patriot Mobile now.
- 19:32Speaker 1: One I save money over what I was paying before
- 19:34Speaker 1: with Big Mobile, and two, I'm no longer supporting the
- 19:37Speaker 1: radical left now. I didn't realize until someone told me
- 19:41Speaker 1: just how radical Big Mobile had gotten. Where they are
- 19:44Speaker 1: supporting organizations that pay for abortions or supporting radical democratic
- 19:48Speaker 1: causes and organizations they're helping democrats get elect it at
- 19:52Speaker 1: the local, state and national level. That is actually why
- 19:55Speaker 1: over a decade ago Patriot Mobile was started and they
- 19:58Speaker 1: are now America's only Christian conservative wireless provider.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Now, let's talk about coverage.
- 20:05Speaker 1: In twenty twenty five, you have zero problems with coverage anymore,
- 20:09Speaker 1: because well, Patriot Mobile uses all three major networks.
- 20:13Speaker 2: What does that mean for you?
- 20:14Speaker 1: It means whatever coverage you're used to now, you're going
- 20:17Speaker 1: to stay exactly the same, or you may even be
- 20:19Speaker 1: able to improve it, but it will not be any
- 20:22Speaker 1: issues when it comes to coverage. In fact, they have
- 20:24Speaker 1: a coverage guarantee. But when you pay your bill, this
- 20:28Speaker 1: is where the magic happens. They take a portion of
- 20:31Speaker 1: your bill every month and they give it back to
- 20:33Speaker 1: organizations that support our first and our second amendments that
- 20:36Speaker 1: support the sanctity of life, that support our veterans, our
- 20:40Speaker 1: first responders, and are wounded warriors. And like I said,
- 20:44Speaker 1: switching with technology now has never been easier. You keep
- 20:47Speaker 1: your same phone you have now, keep your same phone number,
- 20:50Speaker 1: and you can even upgrade to a new phone if
- 20:52Speaker 1: you want to. They have a one hundred percent US
- 20:55Speaker 1: based customer support team to help you find the perfect
- 20:58Speaker 1: plan and to save money. And if if you own
- 21:00Speaker 1: a business or a small business, they have a division
- 21:02Speaker 1: that just works on switching multiple lines over easily. So
- 21:06Speaker 1: right now, go to Patriotmobile dot com, slash ferguson or
- 21:12Speaker 1: call them ninety seven to two Patriot. You're going to
- 21:15Speaker 1: get a free month of service with the promo code Ferguson.
- 21:18Speaker 1: So switch to Patriot Mobile and make a difference with
- 21:20Speaker 1: every call you make Patriot mobile dot com slash ferguson
- 21:25Speaker 1: or nine seven to two Patriot. I want to take
- 21:28Speaker 1: you back to May sixth of twenty twenty four, Donald
- 21:31Speaker 1: Trump was speaking outside of the criminal trial in New
- 21:35Speaker 1: York City. Remember when he was forced to do those
- 21:37Speaker 1: daily little quick briefings before he was forced into the courtroom,
- 21:41Speaker 1: when law Fair was all over Donald Trump trying to
- 21:45Speaker 1: take him out of the presential race. He was still
- 21:47Speaker 1: laser focused then about the radicalization on our college campuses,
- 21:52Speaker 1: including at Columbia University. And this is what he actually
- 21:56Speaker 1: had to say, and this is what he had to
- 21:58Speaker 1: say in the summer of twenty four.
- 22:01Speaker 5: Now it just came.
- 22:01Speaker 6: Out Columbia just canceled their commensal actualos.
- 22:05Speaker 5: Columbia just canceled their commensaon that shouldn't happen.
- 22:09Speaker 2: And it also came out that.
- 22:11Speaker 5: The protesters, many of the protesters are back by Biden.
- 22:17Speaker 2: Jonors.
- 22:19Speaker 5: Okay, are you listening, Israel, hel calusity Israel. Hope you
- 22:22Speaker 5: getting spot but they're back by Biden donors. That's where
- 22:27Speaker 5: the money's coming from.
- 22:28Speaker 2: That's where the money's coming from.
- 22:30Speaker 1: The President made it clear that if he was elected again,
- 22:34Speaker 1: he was going to hold these universities accountable for not
- 22:37Speaker 1: stopping the anti Semitic protests and violent protests and threats
- 22:43Speaker 1: against students. Well, the president is now paying off on
- 22:47Speaker 1: that promise. Donald Trump cuts more than four hundred million
- 22:52Speaker 1: dollars in grants to Colombia over anti semitism concerns, and
- 22:57Speaker 1: potentially there are more cuts to come.
- 23:00Speaker 2: That's right.
- 23:01Speaker 1: The Trump administration announcing that it will resind more than
- 23:04Speaker 1: four hundred million in federal grants to Columbia University, citing
- 23:08Speaker 1: concerns over the rising anti semitism on campus and the
- 23:11Speaker 1: school's failure to address it. Earlier this week, the Department
- 23:15Speaker 1: of Health and Human Services and the US General Services Administration,
- 23:20Speaker 1: as well as the Education Department, announced the initiation of
- 23:24Speaker 1: a quote comprehensive review of more than five billion in
- 23:29Speaker 1: federal grant money that goes to Columbia. Why on earth
- 23:32Speaker 1: are we spending five billion dollars to Colombia is the
- 23:35Speaker 1: question you should be asking right now. By the way
- 23:38Speaker 1: and in light of ongoing investigations for potential violations. They said,
- 23:43Speaker 1: of the Civil Rights Act related to anti semitism on campus,
- 23:47Speaker 1: all of the funding will be under review.
- 23:50Speaker 2: Quote.
- 23:51Speaker 1: It has only been four days since the Trump administration
- 23:54Speaker 1: announced the review, but the agencies have already begun slashing
- 23:58Speaker 1: the funds. Sources familiar with the matter, who asked to
- 24:01Speaker 1: remain anonymous, said that more than fourner million of federal
- 24:04Speaker 1: grants from AJHS and the DOED will be rescinded from
- 24:09Speaker 1: Colombia as a result of the anti semitism that is continuing,
- 24:13Speaker 1: they believe on campus.
- 24:15Speaker 5: Now.
- 24:16Speaker 1: As the review of Columbia's grant dollars continues, additional federal
- 24:20Speaker 1: funding could be rescinded as well. But that's not all
- 24:23Speaker 1: that Donald Trump is doing to make good on his promise.
- 24:27Speaker 1: We now know that ICE has arrested a radical pro
- 24:31Speaker 1: Palestinian activist at Columbia University and he may now face deportation.
- 24:37Speaker 1: In fact, Secretary of State Marco Rubio just issued a
- 24:41Speaker 1: new statement after the Trump administration arrested the activists, and
- 24:46Speaker 1: he said this quote, we will be revoking the visas
- 24:51Speaker 1: and or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so
- 24:56Speaker 1: they can be deported. This goes back to the se
- 25:00Speaker 1: that seems to becoming a trend with this administration FAFO.
- 25:04Speaker 1: And not only did President Trump cut the four hundred
- 25:07Speaker 1: million in funding, but as he said and warned on
- 25:09Speaker 1: the campaign trail, if you are a guest in this
- 25:13Speaker 1: country and we've allowed you to come study in America
- 25:16Speaker 1: and you are a active, violent protester, we will get
- 25:20Speaker 1: you out of this country.
- 25:23Speaker 2: Now, there's also word that this.
- 25:25Speaker 1: May not be the only student who is arrested as
- 25:28Speaker 1: a pro Palestinian activist. In fact, they say they're not
- 25:32Speaker 1: just setting an example, but they are actually going after
- 25:35Speaker 1: individuals that are doing violence on college campuses. So at
- 25:40Speaker 1: the end of the day, Donald Trump promises became a
- 25:43Speaker 1: reality that if you are one of those that is
- 25:46Speaker 1: doing harm and you're not from the US on an
- 25:49Speaker 1: American campus, get the hell out. And as for Columbia University,
- 25:54Speaker 1: good luck finding four hundred million dollars somewhere else, as
- 25:58Speaker 1: you're not protecting it was students on campus. The new
- 26:03Speaker 1: Jobs Report is out showing that we added two hundred
- 26:06Speaker 1: and eighty four thousand more American workers and eighty seven
- 26:11Speaker 1: thousand fewer foreign born.
- 26:13Speaker 2: Workers in America.
- 26:15Speaker 1: This is exactly what Donald Trump said he was going
- 26:18Speaker 1: to do, and it's what made the left go unhinge.
- 26:21Speaker 2: Because they loved foreign workers.
- 26:23Speaker 1: The hiring of Americans apparently surged in February, as more
- 26:28Speaker 1: migrants also left the workforce. Once President Trump ended the
- 26:32Speaker 1: bidynamic policy of importing migrants for quote US jobs, big
- 26:36Speaker 1: gains for native born Americans. Employment for native born workers
- 26:41Speaker 1: went up by two hundred and eighty four thousand, while
- 26:43Speaker 1: foreign born workers went down by eighty seven thousand, Trump
- 26:47Speaker 1: told the media in the Oval Office. He added this
- 26:51Speaker 1: as well, saying, quote, for the first time in fifteen months,
- 26:54Speaker 1: the job gains for native born Americans, for American people,
- 26:57Speaker 1: people born in America exceeded jobs as for migrants and
- 27:01Speaker 1: foreign workers. This is the first time that's happened in
- 27:05Speaker 1: more than fifteen months. Employment for native born workers went
- 27:10Speaker 1: up to two hundred and eighty four thousand, he said,
- 27:13Speaker 1: the foreign born workers went down eighty seven thousand, and
- 27:17Speaker 1: Americans need to know that now.
- 27:19Speaker 2: President Joe Biden's.
- 27:20Speaker 1: Economic policies invited migrants to take almost five million jobs
- 27:26Speaker 1: from Americans.
- 27:27Speaker 2: Let me say that again, five million. This is on purpose.
- 27:31Speaker 1: This isn't the legal immigrants coming over undermining American workers.
- 27:34Speaker 2: I want to make that very clear.
- 27:36Speaker 1: President Biden said, Hey, I want five million of you
- 27:40Speaker 1: to come over here and take jobs that would have
- 27:42Speaker 1: gone to Americans. Five million Americans. It was called the
- 27:45Speaker 1: Great Replacement Strategy. That's how Democrats referred to it.
- 27:50Speaker 2: And the Great.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Replacement Strategy cut American wages as well and workplace investment.
- 27:57Speaker 1: But it did the most damage to Americans with poor
- 27:59Speaker 1: jobs records because of drugs, right, laziness, alienation, or the
- 28:06Speaker 1: exportation of welfare spending. Those were other major problems. Yet
- 28:12Speaker 1: the strategy also allowed Biden's media allies to boast of
- 28:16Speaker 1: his job creation numbers while millions of Americans were being
- 28:20Speaker 1: sidelined on purpose by their policies. Take a listen to
- 28:26Speaker 1: President from the Oval in his own words.
- 28:28Speaker 5: Big gains for Native born Americans. For the first time
- 28:34Speaker 5: in fifteen months, the job gains for native born Americans,
- 28:38Speaker 5: for American people people born in America exceeded job gains
- 28:42Speaker 5: for migrant and foreign born workers. This is the first
- 28:47Speaker 5: time that's happened in more than fifteen months. Employment for
- 28:50Speaker 5: native born workers went up by two hundred and eighty
- 28:53Speaker 5: four thousand, while foreign born workers went down by eighty
- 28:57Speaker 5: seven thousand. Now you I've heard the same stat where
- 29:02Speaker 5: foreign workers were taking up all the jobs or almost
- 29:04Speaker 5: all the jobs, in some cases literally all of the jobs.
- 29:10Speaker 5: And now it's two hundred and eighty four thousand native
- 29:14Speaker 5: born jobs here, people born in our country two hundred
- 29:18Speaker 5: and eighty four thousand. Well, foreign born workers went down
- 29:21Speaker 5: by eighty seven thousand, the first time that's happened in
- 29:24Speaker 5: a long time.
- 29:25Speaker 6: So these are incredible numbers, and there there very early.
- 29:29Speaker 6: I mean, you know, we're here for five weeks, but
- 29:33Speaker 6: we have been talking about it since the big win
- 29:35Speaker 6: in November November fifth, So a lot of these people they.
- 29:41Speaker 5: Listened to speak and they say, well, I'm going to
- 29:43Speaker 5: gear up, and they're gearing up. And so they've been
- 29:45Speaker 5: gearing up.
- 29:45Speaker 2: They've had a little time. It's not just it's not
- 29:48Speaker 2: just five weeks.
- 29:49Speaker 5: It's five weeks plus a few months.
- 29:51Speaker 1: You listen to President there and what he just said,
- 29:54Speaker 1: and he's putting American workers first. Now, Trump said, this
- 29:58Speaker 1: is the good data. Everyone should celebrate this. Yet for
- 30:03Speaker 1: some reason, Democrats are not They're not happy that Americans
- 30:09Speaker 1: are getting the jobs first.
- 30:12Speaker 2: They're not happy that foreign workers that were.
- 30:14Speaker 1: Taking up all of these jobs, or almost all the jobs,
- 30:16Speaker 1: as he put it, in some months, literally all of
- 30:19Speaker 1: the jobs are dropping because what that means is the
- 30:23Speaker 1: great replacement.
- 30:25Speaker 2: Doctrine of the left is disappearing. They hate this.
- 30:30Speaker 1: They hate it because Americans are now being put ahead
- 30:34Speaker 1: of the foreign workers. This is why this last election
- 30:38Speaker 1: was so important, because the President said, my decision is
- 30:42Speaker 1: very clear. I will put American workers ahead of foreign workers.
- 30:46Speaker 1: And I am not going to import a bunch of
- 30:48Speaker 1: workers into the United States of America who undercut American
- 30:52Speaker 1: workers and make Americans suffer.
- 30:54Speaker 2: Why would we do that?
