angeles, and this is america's late news, fox news at night. >> breaking tonight, the presidential campaign trail now running right across the southern border with both the former president and current president making appearances in the lone star state. but their visits could not have been more different. and tonight we have compelling evidence that the american citizens are the number one casualties of the border disaster. and how does the white house respond? by calling illegal immigrants, quote, new-comers. we have team fox coverage, ashley strohmier with more on the dualing border visits, kevin corke has more on the so-called new-comers, but first to matt finn, he's live with how americans are being affected by the crisis. matt, good evening. >> reporter: good ease, trace. cities acrosss the countries are struggling with the migrant crisis and tonight boston and denver are dealing with their own unique circumstances after migrants surged in those cities, people one of boston's most expensive neighborhoods are outraged over a plan to open an

emergency overflow shelter for migrants 80 living in a united way operation shelter in boston's sea port neighborhood, neighbors say they feel blind sided and officials don't have answers for them. >> can we finally have i little bit of decorp. in the room. >> no this is my neighborhood aren't how is it a done deal when you cannot answer these questions. >> in my view these people are already here and if we're going to fight the situation we need to fight the border policy ordeal with it in washington. >> reporter: there's also concerns that there's not enough showers in this office space on your screen that will be turned into a migrant shelter. boston's mayor claims the shelter must be operated with minimal impact to the very frustrated neighbors. in the city of denver a nounsed some of its on-call employees may have their hours reduced to zero in an effort to reallocate funds towards the city's migrant crisis. that includes jobs like front desk workers coaches and life

guards. denver has been running seven migrant shelters in hotels across city as part of its effort to reduce costs its consolidating from seven to three cutting its budget by an estimated $60 million. denver says it has 2300 migrants in shelters with an average of 30 arriving every day, trace. >> trace: yeah. it is affecting cities all across the country. matt finn, matt, thank you >> let's where i in two people affected by the border disaster shall boston radio resident and talk show host grace curly and chicago resident cotter trust. thank you both for coming on. i want to go to you first grace curly because here's some angry residents in boston's sea port area about this migrant shelter coming. watch and i'll get your response. you said this is real how are you going on ensure we're safe. >> we have no say as residents of the town. >> we would like to see a little more compassion, that's my point of view. >> trace: the thing here grace is they don't know who these people are, they don't know how

many are coming, they have not been vetted. we see this all across the country, they have schools and museums that are close by and they just don't know exact will what is going on. >> yeah, you're absolutely right, trace. it's a safety issue. and i think that that's what a lot of people are trying to relay to their elected officials. and you can feel the frustration and you can feel the panic from a lot of politicians especially here in boston because obviously they're democrats, they're dealing with outspoken constituents who are very unhappy and can't really give them any sort of strategy because the white house doesn't have a strategy so all they can tell people right now is we understand your frustration and we're not donald trump and that's not doing anyone any good. >> trace: it's really not, cotter trust to you, we'll get to your city chicago in a minute but i want you to weigh in on what's happening in denver because now deny railroad is cutting the hours of city employees to pay for migrants. the parks and recreations direct

or said the reduction in hours operations program will affect the number of hours worked by many on some to the point where they may not receive any hours. final decisions on hours for any individual position have not been made yet. can you imagine someone walking up to you saying listen we have to take care of these migrants so we're cutting your paycheck cotta. >> of course i can imagine the same thing we're seeing in chicago happening all over the country where migrants are being deposited. there's no money to take care of this 'em. the president is standing back saying that we have new-comers as if they are supposed to be here. and i think that people have to realize, and i have to keep saying this, is that at least in chicago, sanctuary city status only means that we will not report you to the authorities. it does not mean that we are responsible for housing and taking care of you. and, again, we are putting migrants before the people in

these cities. so now you're saying to the people in denver, we're going to cut your hours, possibly taking away your livelihood, so that we can take care of someone else. >> trace: right, yeah. >> in what world does that make sense? >> trace: and i wonder to you grace, because i think if you had to address your local officials, i mean, what would you say to how they have handled this mess in boston? >>. >> it's funny trace when i watch these cuts from residents in boston you still have people saying i'm very compassionate and i want to handle this with compassion and that's the part we haven't been able to shake. you have to let people understand, it's not about compassion. people in texas are very compassionate. people on border towns are very compassionate. addressing the fact that this is an untenable situation and having solutions for that doesn't make you a bad person. it doesn't make you less caring than anybody else.

it just makes you a realist with some common sense and we're lacking that right now especially in the city of boston. and people are just at their witness's end, they feel like they've been left in the learning. >> trace: you want to put these numbers up cata so everyone knows what they're going through, january of 2023, there was 5100 of these sigh slum seekers in chicago and now the number is 36,000 more than six times as many in the course of 12-13 months cata, it is as grace was saying untenable. >> it is. and think about the money that has already been spent. in the state of illinois with the city and county combined, we have spent over a billion dollars. and that's just this year. and so imagine what it's going to be like as those populations began to grow, as their needs began to increase. right now we're seeing an increase in crime and i'm sure that you're going to see that all over the country as the

needs grow and people become desperate. right now when these migrants are committing crimes they're being arrested and then they're being turned back out onto the streets and we know that when criminals are not prosecuted correctly, they will come out and they will become more brazen with the crimes that they commit. and so those communities have a right to be on edge. >> trace: they do have a right to be on edge, credit, a, ta truss thank you so much grace curly we appreciate your time >> mean tile they called people crossing the border undocumented my grants, others illegal immigrants. the white house doesn't like either of those terms and is now calling illegal immigrants quote new-comers. senior national correspondent kevin corke here with reaction to the new term. kevin good evening. >> reporter: evening trace. critics again slamming the president's border policies, that is not new. but what got them hearter than texas chili was to refer to

illegal aliens as new-comers, succinctly posted on x by mike collins whose tweeted, quote, the new-comers while showing the faces of several illegal aliens who have broken us laws once they've gotten here and in many cases violently so. now for its part, the white house released what it called a fact sheet imploring congressional lawmakers to help stem the tide bypassing a, quote, bipartisan border agreement which they say will include more than a billion dollars for cities and states who are providing critical services to "new-comers. new-comers. and would expedite work permits for people who are in the country and qualified. about you the house gop conference was none time pressed taking to twitter to savage the white house for its terminology and its policies for that matter. writing, quote, the biden white house is now referring to illegal immigrants as new-comersment joe biden is not

serious about stopping the illegal immigration into the united states. this is a catastrophe by design. and, trace, as you know, this issue is a massive one politically with a very recent gallop survey citing illegal immigration as the most important problem facing the country right now trace. >> trace: number one. kevin corke live in dc, kevin thank you. president biden and former president trump made dualing trips tops the southern border, trump decided to visit eagle pass which many consider ground zero of the border crisis biden decided on brownsville where the flow of migrants is a trickle. ashley strohmier live with those details tonight. good evening. >> reporter: hi trace a tail of two different trips toss the texas border today. president joe biden visited brownsville where migrant and hennings have dropped dramatically in recent months as you said, largely due to the installation of razor wire a tactic the biden administration oppose. former president donald trump was just over 300 miles away in

eagle pass texas and what the texas tribune is calling the current epicenter of immigration enforcement efforts. texas governor greg abbott joined trump during his trip. both went after the president, listen. >> i don't think he's on the border itself right now he's in some sanitized location in the brownsville area not seeing the razor wire that texas has put up around brownsville. >> but is a joe biden invasion. this is a biden invasion over the past three years. >> reporter: biden didn't announce any new policy proposals while in texas today, but he did call out republicans in congress for recently blocking a border security deal calling the move political. >> so here's what i would say to mr. trump. instead of playing politics with the issue, instead of telling members of congress to block this legislation, join me or i will adjoin you in telling the congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. we can do it together. >> reporter: and, trace, the

same day the top two presidential candidates visited the lone star state, a federal judge dealt the biden administration a victory blocking a texas law that would have allowed police to arrest migrants suspected of crossing the border illegally and texas officials of course are expected to appeal that ruling trace. >> trace: ashley strohmier live in new york. thank you. let's where i in the editor of restoring america for the washington examiner, kaylee mcghee white and independent women's former center legal center. thank you both for coming on. both biden and trump were asked about the murder of laken rilely in georgia and here's their responses. >> mr. president, do you claim any responsibility for laken riley's death. >> what he is doing is just unbelievable. joe biden will never say laken riley's name. but we will say it and we will remember. >> trace: you have this thing kaylee mcghee white where you have the president of the united states didn't want to address it

at all, just ignored the question and the former president couldn't wait to address the question. >> right. and it's also that he's visiting the -- biden is visiting the southern border three years too late i guess for his grand opening of the border but i guess's the best we can expect. and he also went on this random tangent of climate change instead of addressing the question about laken riley. you're right the difference between trump's press conference and biden could not be more cleared. biden could not be bothered to address this as a crisis for three years of his presidency where this has been trump's most important issue since 2016. who's going to come out better on this issue? clearly the polls suggest trump. >> trace: yeah, i think you're right on that one. here's biden's messages to trump concerning the border. watch. >> so here's what i would say to mr. trump. instead of playing politics with the issue, instead of telling members of congress to block this legislation, join me, or i'll join you in telling the

congress to pass this bipartisan border security bill. we can do it together. >> trace: mae it's not going to fly because everybody knows the president can walk into his office tomorrow and sign this and make it all right again but he won't. >> exactly. nobody cares that biden is visiting the border unless he is going to use that experience toss make changes to his policy. but the fact that he's visiting brownsville where the crisis has been mitigated, and he's spending the time saying that he needs a do nothing bill because he can't do anything himself shows that he has no intention in actually changing his policy on the border which is why only 18% of americans approve of his handling of the us/mexico border. >> trace: i wonder kaylee mcghee white what do you think of the white house calling illegal immigrants, quote, new-comers. >> well this just goes to, again, what are the tool's

that's in the president's toolbox to address illegal immigration is language and rhetoric and the trump administration made it clear from day one of taking office that illegal immigration would be curtailed that there would be action taken to suppress the flow of migrants. that had an impact on illegal immigration even before trump signed any executive order to take action on it. the biden administration has done the exact opposite. it has communicated every step of the way that it will not take any action to suppress illegal immigration and is, instead, welcoming these people. this is the result. >> trace: yeah, he won't even call them that. it's kind of amazing to me. georgia representative andrew clive work this on x quoting insanity a newcomer just brutally murdered laken riley new-comers are flooding america with fentanyl and causing american taxpayers nearly 500 billion joe biden wants to no

normalize the intentional invasion your thoughts. >> a new-comers comes here legally we want to welcome in but because president biden is calling everyone a newcomer he wants to welcome anyone in including people murdering the daughters of america, including people who are raping american's children and americans are not going to stand for that. >> trace: mae, kaylee mcghee white, thank you both. ♪ . >> trace: well the fox news at night common sense department just read a piece in the washington post called the birth of fox news's migrant crime obsession written by progressive columnist philip bump who started the article by calling out jesse watters for opening his show by listing, quote, a handful of incidents in which immigrants allegedly committed crime. common sense would remind columnist bump that nobody on fox news is listing immigrants though we are covering the crimes committed by illegal immigrants. people are not supposed to be

here. people who were supposed to be deported but instead got solution from the sanctuary states only to commit more crimes. and when mr. bump refers to a handful of incidents does he mean the dozens of murders rapes and beatings delivered to kids cops and young people? or the thousands and robberies and assaults. or the tens of thousands of property crimes? what actually defines a handful? burp also called out trump for alleging that a biden migrant committed murdered in georgia. does he mean the illegal venezuelan immigrant who came here when biden opened the gates and who might be here under biden's protected status. sounds like a biden by grant. common sense thinks instead of calling out fox news for covering migrant crime maybe journalists should actually cover my grant crime. let's bring in former contestant of the bachelor and founder of the kings firm jillian anderson.

great to have you on. i want to put this up because this is us, fox news at night. we were kind of highlighted tonight on msnbc and you can see the bottom is right wing media fuels myth of migrant crime surge. i mean, i'll bet the families, gillian, of laken riley and jeremy ttwo year old who was killed, i bet they would differ with this whole myth of migrant crime. i bet they would have something else to say. >> you're absolutely right and i'm sure those parents are very glad that you are keeping this in the news. as a parent i a prude you for that trace. but the liberal media's play book is completely being exposed. the years of the liberal main stream media, they've been masters of censoring news. >> trace: we just froze her. let me put this up here. i want to play this see if we can get gillian back here. this is cnn censoring trump

again at the border. watch this i think we have he a got jillian back. >> as we do after every trump speech we have to have a series of fact checks because in multiple times in those debris remarks he told several lies about the border also misrepresented his own past on the border and what he did while he was in office. >> trace: this has become kind of a crazy thing jillian this has become a crazy thing where you think cnn censors everything trump says and you wonder is this going to be the same at the state of the union speech next week are they going to censor biden before he speaks because there will be untruths in that. the policy here, the censorship here is something i have never seen in journalism. >> you mean, absolutely. any time there's a gaffe or any time joe biden says something he doesn't mean there's going to censor it or twist it in a way that makes sense for him. omitting the facts while just pushing joe biden in the best light he could.

there's nothing else they can do because joe biden can't do it for himself. he can't speak facts for himself. he doesn't look knowledgeable himself and of course they're always going to be there to cover for him, they have the last three years and will continue the rest of 2024. >> trace: here's my favorite nbc news quote, put this up on the screen. the quote is trump's claim of a migrant crime wave are not supported by the national data and then the last paragraph it says here the data is uncomplete on how many crimes each year are committed by migrants because local police don't record immigration status when they make arrestsment so the migrant crime surge narrative is fake but then so is our article because we don't have all the information. your final thoughts on this. >> we are omitting facts and twisting the truth we are telling partial lies just to make sure the headlines work in the liberal media's favor to protect joe biden and that's what it is. i'm glad it's being exposed and thank you for exposing it

traces. >> trace: jillian anderson thanks for coming on >> brand new video showing an owner of a gym in west hollywood being pistol-whipped by a suspect trying to steal his rolex. that business owner joins us next. and more video of pro palestinian protesters clashing with police in new york city. this is amazing video. it's tagging the famous wall street charging bull with the word death to israel. also exclusive video showing a confrontation between a conservative student and a pro transgender student at the university of alabama and something about identifying as a cat. we'll actually let you listen to it. later in the nightcap leap day is traditionally when women propose marriage to men. today one woman tried her luck on radio but the response not really what she was hoping. do you think people should

>> trace: break tonight getting brand new video into fox news at night hundreds of pro palestinian protesters swarming union's square in manhattan tonight. take a look at some of these pictures, they were defacing trains and walls in the subway station there before making their way, as you can see here, to wall street. and you can see the clashes between police and the protesters were significant. we do not know the exact number of arrests but there were many. protesters climbed atop the famous charging bull

spray-painting graffiti reading death to israel on that statue. nypd then moved in. they tried to take away as many as they can but they were clearly outnumbered. as we get more video in the sub ways and so forth we will bring it to you continuing the coverage of breaking news. meantime we also have brand new video of another brazen robbery attempt in broad daylight caught on camera. a gym owner in los angeles here with us on set pistol-whipped while walking his dog, matt finn is live with that story matt. >> reporter: trace it is a horrifying armed robbery caught on camera right here in los angeles. the brave victim stood his ground against his attackers in a jaw-dropping act of self-defense. you could see a black cadillac pull up to a retail plaza on sunset boulevard in west hollywood. masked men jump out and rush up to rocco desteph fan 0 with their guns drawn. >> i turn around looking at a barrel of a pistol, take it off,

take it off, and at this point i try to run and i realize i'm running into a corner and i'm hitting the elevator and i'm like, i have nowhere to go. so i take off my rolex and a clasp it in my hand and i tell them like you're going to have to take it from me. >> reporter: you can see in the video rocco also had his dog's leash in his hand. the end of the fight was not caught on camera but rocco says he pushed through and fought down those robbers who ran away empty handed and now rocco says he's not sure if he'll be wearing his rolex here in los angeles. >> i was able to wear my rolex, a symbolism of how hard i've worked to get to this point, to own a gym, to be where i am. >> reporter: and rocco's beloved multi poo hercules is doing okay. >> trace: the best news we've had all night matt thank you. let's bring in gym owner rocco and federal litigator vik bajaj

along with the former scherff of los angeles county villanueva. rocco finish the story you're worried about your dog and rolex these guys are trying to beat the daylights out of you. what happens after, as matt lets you pick it up, what happens after as you were kind of holding on to all this stuff? >> i mean the first thing is, i want to be alive. i'm staring at a gun drawn at me and i'm like this is it. three months after i opened up my gym, dream come true, moved here seven years ago from boston after my mom overdosed on fentanyl i'm like life is flashing before my eyes, i came here to like better the community, to help others within the community and i'm like this is it. and the only thing that's going through my head is i either give them this or i fight back. so i took the watch off my hand but i clenched it in my fist and i kept it close to my body as i was trying to manage the leash in my hand as well as fight

back. i went to swing and i unfortunately tripped. >> trace: we know this one's okay, right? this is the dog. >> this is hercules. >> trace: the dog is totally fine. >> hercules is fine. >> trace: good name and that's exactly right. it's amazing rocco. we're going to go back to you in one second. sheriff to you i want to put these up but these are the crime statistics in los angeles, total major crime up 19%, this is 2020, 2023 city wide property crime up 24%, violent crime up 6% and then i want to put this up because this is sound from the los angeles district attorney george gascon. watch. >> we're in a much better place today than we were four years ago. we're dealing with violence and in fact violence has come down which clearly indicates that the work that water he doing does not cost crime to go up. >> sheriff things could not be better according to the da. >> he must be living an alternative planet. i don't know what he's smoking but wow. i'll tell you this, when you

stop counting numbers can mean anything. and he's literally stopped counting. in fact, law enforcement agencies are no longer reporting retail outlets are not reporting being victims of crime so how can he claim everything is fine when people are scared to go out the front door. >> trace: it's baffling. vik bajaj to you, because tommy who's running for da in los angeles said the following. >> we have so many people committing crimes getting released, committing crimes getting released. nobody is being held accountable or responsible for their crimes. >> trace: yeah. that's the whole thing, vik is we know nobody's being held responsible rocco's a testament to that we see that all the time. >> this week i've been in five different jurisdictions in state court within our fine state of california. it's true the number of offenses is lower as far as burglaries, commercial burglaries, sheriff hit the nail on the head because they're not being counted. it's as simple as that. but we see crimes being prosecuted. the quality and character of the crimes are much more serious. great bodily injury, serious use

of a personal deadly weapon. gang attacks, robberies in concert. things that make small business owners very much like rocco say, hey, the juice is not worth the squeeze i'm out of california. >> trace: what do you think rocco are you concerned about your business, you opened your gym it was your dream are you concerned about crime. >> la's turned into gotham city feels like. downtown la being spray-painted people being slapped on the hand, $0 bill in los angeles and i moved here because i thought this was a city of angels, city of dreams where fitness started, where arnold started body building where pumping iron was filmed and i moved here for a purpose to better people's lives and in this city i want to stay in this city i just signed a 10-year lease and i don't know if i'm going to be able to do that 10-year lease in beverly hills in west hollywood where

it's supposed to have law, supposed to not have anarchy and chaos. >> trace: does it make you want to run again and get involved again? it has to infuriate you. >> it infire yates me because they voted to defund the sheriff's department to freeze hiring now they're missing a third of the patrol force including west hollywood station. they're gone, they're not coming back which makes it easier for criminals to do what they're doing. >> trace: is there a remedy vik. >> the remedy is vote, get out there make a change follow sheriff's advice and make sure people in elected positions can actually do what the community wants not what time the soup dejosh is dictated the for the season. >> trace: glad everybody's okay thank you for coming on. >>. >> coming up chicago public schools graduating a very big percentage of their students seems like good news, unless you realize a huge portion cannot read or do math at grade level. plus exclusive video of a

♪ >> trace: well, the numbers don't lie, the education challenges facing chicago and the entire state of illinois have reached crisis levels. so what's behind these terrible numbers? despite an infusion of large amounts of pandemic funding? let's bring in the chairman of the jack brewer foundation former nfl defensive back jack brewer and entertainment attorney micha thank you both for coming on. this is our first thing illinois public schools, zero proficiency. there are 67 schools in illinois, not a single student can do math at grade level, and 32 schools, not a single student can do english at grade level.

that's almost a hundred schools across the state of illinois that literally have kids that cannot read or do math. that's not a crisis. that's an embarrassment. your thoughts. >> reporter: >> it is. it's a pure crime when you start looking deep into the why. when you're not holding any of these kids accountable, they've done whatever they can with these new leftist policies that aren't allowing them to actually keep these kids accountable for their grades. so they're doing whatever they can to remove the grading system. when the kids go to school, if they get in trouble they're not holding them accountable. i think they need to bring the paddle back to the schools trace. >> trace: yeah, i think that's a very good suggestion. >> bring the paddles back to the school because kids are not getting disciplined at home. >> trace: they're not i want to bring this back rowe and math and science academy. math and science. the math proficiency zero. the english proficiency zero,

the graduation rate 88%. so 88%, like yeah get out of here i know you don't know anything but go out in the world. >> this terrifies me and everyone needs to be terrified by this. this is our future. this is a i future that's already going to have challenges in terms of their interaction with technology, their ability to focus, attention span, communicate in, you know, not just x number of characters, all of that really worries me because school is not just math and english. school is also discipline, being able to work against time lines, make sacrifices. so much more. >> trace: yep you're exactly right. dr. ben carson, jack brewer to you writes the following, faith and fathers are the antidote to juvenile crime. it should be no surprise that juvenile violent crime has exploded the same time period that fatherlessness has grown because so many young children no longer have the stable presence of a father in their lives to guide them raise them and keep them from going astray.

i know this is very dear and near to your heart topic we're here jack. what do you think about that. >> that's the root cause to everything you're talking about whether it's reading math proficiency or crime. you're 20 times more likely to go to prison if you're fatherless. now what you're looking at is a situation that's been exacerbated, 71% of black kids are without a father over 50% of hispanics and whites have increased in fatherlessness i think 3-4 times over the last 20 years. these things have to comma end. we've got to stop with these crazy ridiculous policies. that's the reason these kids are going into our streets. they don't have a dad that will bring the paddle, bring discipline and respect to these families where literally pro live rating the lie that it's okay to be born without being married and out of wedlock and so these things are just a real stain on our country as we are the most fatherless nation on earth. >> trace: we are, it's true. the pew study among teens age

13-17, 38% say they feel comfortable when talking about racial topics. 29% comfortable when talking about sexual orientation or gender identity. four in ten talking about race are comfortable, three in ten talking about sex and gender. why don't we talk about something else, reading and writing in schools. >> i'm going to say the same thing we're at a moment in time where we don't know how to interact with one another to have these types of conversations and if you really want to take it back to education, if you don't have the language tools to communicate, you know, that's not -- that's grammar, that's vocabulary. the percentage of people i heard speaking at an eighth grade level is sort of the norm right now. so if you can't even get to like the basic form of communication, how are you going to have conversations that are around these much deeper, you know, topics. >> trace: yeah, mitra, jack, thank you both >> meantime we have new video tonight of a confrontation at the university of alabama between the president of a

conservative student group who was public sizing a riley gaines event on campus and a pro-trans student who defaced a sign promoting that event then didn't want to talk about it. watch. >> so can i identify as a cat. >> yes, you can. >> really. >> you absolutely can. >> because that's not a [bleep] gender. >> trace: let's bring in the president of young women for america at the university of alabama roll tide keegan engel. keegan thank you for coming on. you made it very clear to this pro-trans student that they can put their posters, he could do whatever he wanted to as long as they didn't destroy and deface the stuff that you were promoting and here's part of your back and forth once again and then i will a get your comment. watch. >> you're allowed to put your stuff, whatever you want, please don't bother our stuff. >> free speech is not going to protect you from a [bleep] bottle of beep bleep. and on the ground, that's

transphobic. >> trace: clearly he didn't get the whole free speech concept in this keegan. what are your thoughts? >> you know, i think that this is a concept that ultimately the universities are saying leftists on campuses can have free speech but if you're a conservative you have to shut up and can't put your values out there. we are forced in universities across the country to put our conservative values on the down low and let the leftists shove their down our throats and this is certainly something i never thought i would encounter when i chose to go to school at the university of alabama. >> yeah and i think a lot of people pi should full clarity say i have a daughter who's a sophomore at the university of alabama who knows keegan but here's the part after he says that the term real women is transphobic. watch. >> i'm going to go and uncover and beep bleep story every piece of transphobic piece of garbage and put it on the ground. this campus, this campus talks about diversity. this campus has made several

statements that is about diversity. everybody here is equal. they do not want you to put transphobic [bleep] on the ground so continue to do this and i'm going to continue to wash it up. >> trace: i watched the whole thing keegan. when you present these facts is it kind of natural where they don't present facts in return they just present kind of anger? you have about 30 seconds for you. >> yeah, i mean, pretty much their ultimate response is just anger and outrage and violence and this incident that happened to me isn't the first. campus reform has covered plenty of them across the country unfortunately, and ultimately i think conservative students across the country, we're doing our best to fight the fight that we believe in, but how can you fight when you have anger and ultimately violence at times coming right back at you. and it's these university institutions that, they're festering these environments and putting in the heads of students

that it's okay to ex early by this kind of behavior in a disagreement. >> trace: and the university of alabama prides itself that it promotes robust debate. keegan engel thank you so much for coming on, we appreciate your time >> coming up we have an epic file -- we have an epic during a radio proposal, right? it's a fail. how would you react if somebody proposed to you in public? they just propose, you know, get on a knee, it's in a stadium, what if you got a public proposal? the nightcap crew will take that up. do you think it's a good idea, bad idea? we'll talk about it. still time to weigh in, x and instagram coming back next. ♪ ... -left over? -yeah. oh, absolutely.
