>> thank you to kennedy, jim, andrew, tyrus in our studio audience. "fox news @ night" with trace gallagher is next. on behalf of greg, i love you, america. >> trace: good evening, i'm trace gallagher. 11:00 pm on the east coast, 8:00 in los angeles and this is

america's late news, "fox news @ night". a live look now at columbia university. the campus was shot down because of hundreds of anti-semitic protesters. many of them are still there. we will cover breaking news on that. and a short time ago anti-israel protesters lighting players near the campus. police lined up with their helmets. you can see them trying to keep the crowds back. we will keep you updated on that. meantime to columbia university president testifying on capitol hill that she has seen no anti-semitic protests. watch. >> when mobs or people are shouting from the river to the sea palestine must be free or long live --, are those anti-semitic statements? yes or no? it's not how you feel. >> i hear them as such. some people don't. we have -- >> is that a yes? >> we have sent a clear message -- >> i'm not asking about the message.

does that fall under the definition of anti-semitism? yes or no? why is it so tough? >> because it's a -- it's a -- it's a difficult issue. >> have you seen protesters saying we are against jewish people? >> no. >> thank you. >> trace: meantime the president of columbia university as you heard there refusing to call the anti-israel anti-semitic slogans anti-semitic which is hard to position -- a hard position to take when anti-semitic agitators are taking over columbia's campus in new york chanting "we don't want no zionists here" and "death to the zionist state" without any mention of the hostages being held in captivity. as we told you, that demonstration continuing right now as students disregard university advisory demanding the protest and by 9:00 pm.

it is two minutes after the hour of 11 in the east and even threatening these students with suspension if they did not stop. they are still going on. let's get to matt finn who's live with more on this. >> reporter: we are monitoring those ongoing protests in new york tonight. all this comes after columbia university's president testified before congress today about columbia's battle against anti-semitism. at the same time, anti-israel protesters demonstrated afterschool in a new york and that's happening live tonight. columbia's president testified before the house committee on education and the workforce today. you may recall the now infamous testimony from the presidents of harvard, mit and the university of pennsylvania back in december in which they could not say they would definitively punish students calling for the genocide of jews. the president of harvard and you pen later resigned. today columbia's president is being criticized for refusing to say whether the slocan from the

river to the c is anti-semitic. however in general she took a firmer stand against jewish hate speech in comparison to some of her other ivy league presidents. >> to begin i would like to clarify something with a simple yes or no question for all of the witnesses. does calling for the genocide of jews violate columbia's code of conduct? >> is it does. >> reporter: and here in southern california, a pro- palestinian valedictorian of u.s. he says the school has "but trader" for canceling her graduation speech, citing increasing anti-semitic safety concerns. -- usc -- promoting a link online it says in part the founders of israel were racist zionists and calls for the state of israel to be abolished. she is now writing in a statement, anti-muslim and anti-palestine voices have subjected me to a campaign of racist hatred because of my uncompromising belief in human rights for all. she says she feels empowered by the backlash.

>> it also energized me though because i know that, you know, what i'm facing is something that a lot of people have faced and to a much more dangerous extent. >> reporter: she says she does not apologize for posting the link and insists she's committed to safety for all. >> trace: we will talk about that. matt finn live for us. back to you is the news breaks. we are still watching live protesters. let's bring in the law fair project ceo who is suing columbia on behalf of one of it's jewish students, along with former israeli special envoy for combating anti-semitism and delegitimization of israel. thank you for coming on. the president of columbia testified about anti-semitism on campus and she clearly did a flip-flop. let's watch this and get your response. >> have you seen protests saying we are against jewish people? >> no. at some of these events, these slurs and the chance have been f

the jews, death to jews, f israel. anti-jewish things were said it protests, yes. >> trace: there's the flip-flop. for your purposes, brooke, we should note that the law fair project is suing columbia for failing to protect a jewish student and even retaliating against that student. what do we know about that? >> thank you so much for having me, trace. i've spent my entire career fighting anti-semitism and as you know, we have several lawsuits against universities throughout the country including carnegie mellon university and cooper union. but never in my career have i seen things as horrific as what is going on at columbia university campus, where pro- hamas mobs are running rampant, where jewish students are being harassed, being verbally and physically assaulted. one student had his hand broken. while a conciliatory tone was

being struck by the president of the school and some of the board of trustees that were testifying , the question is, what are the consequences? there have been no consequences. there was one professor who was a defendant in our lawsuit. she had a complaint against her, multiple complaints, and the school actually determined she was guilty of anti-jewish discrimination. what did they do? they put her on sabbatical only to bring her back to discriminate against our second client. there are no consequences at the school. >> trace: and you look at what's happening here, this is live pictures of columbia university, we were told it would be done by 9:00. they were threatened with suspension and there they still are. and to you now, noah, 70% of college jewish students say they have experienced or witnessed anti-semitism, and there it is. >> there it is. here's the problem.

the hearing we saw today finally, what can i say, she got better coaching. she was better coached and finally able to say that genocide against jews is hate speech. thank you so much. that is not how you deal with the problem. what the problem is is the culture on campus. until we deal with the culture on campus, nothing can end. as long as there are going to be referendums all over campuses in america, as long as students for justice in palestine is allowed on campuses, jewish students are going to continue to feel harassed, marginalized and attacked. we need to deal with the culture on campus, not just with the presidents who were better coached today them before. >> trace: i want to switch over, we will continue watching live pictures but now to the case of the u.s. he student, the valedictorian not being allowed to speak because of calls to abolish the jewish state. she said the following here on cnn... >> i'm not apologetic. i believe in what i believe and it is because of the people

around me that i've met at usc. the classes i've taken, the professors i've learned from that have led me to look at the world in this way and it's unfortunate that, you know, human rights is controversial. >> trace: about a minute left, i want to get both you and noah's take on this, brooke, what you think of that case at usc. >> she just proved exactly what know what just said, that usc basically radicalized her. look, being a valedictorian at a school is a privilege, not a right. of course now the council on american islamic relations, a muslim brotherhood front organization, is representing her, this is the same campus that is under investigation for already two and a half years by the department of education. and again, nothing has happened. >> trace: yep. noah? >> she is saying it's islamophobia and i have to negate that. it's not islamophobia when you are speaking out against g hot is in. she should not have been invited

to begin with. you cannot out the words israel has the right to exist and you cannot condemn hamas, you should not be invited to speak on college campus. >> trace: know what, brooke, thank you for coming on, we appreciate it. meantime on capitol hill the impeachment trial of homeland security secretary over before it began but in new york that followed over the crisis at the southern border continues is more than 1000 migrants rush city hall. reportedly over false promises of work visas and green cards. ashley strohmier live in new york city with new information on this. good evening. >> reporter: hello trace. new york city was once again center stage today showing just how overwhelmed some of america's cities ours by the migrant crisis. over 1000 black asylum-seekers from places like guinea and west africa gathered in and outside city hall to protest what they are calling racial inequities in the city's immigrant support systems. >> our colors should not determine what service we get in

new york city. because when everyone else comes, they get all the services. what the brothers and sisters are asking, they are asking for help. >> reporter: that flashpoint taking place alongside tensions on capitol hill between republicans and alejandro mayorkas. the effort to impeach him and hold him accountable for failing to secure the border was warily dismissed by the senate today. he claims the border is congress' problem anyway. listen. >> we need congress to pass the bipartisan legislation that a group of senators worked on. that is the enduring solution. we cannot change a broken immigration system, only congress. >> reporter: regardless of who was responsible, big cities have been left to deal with the fallout. denver city council is considering cutting $41 million from the budget. that includes 8 million from the police department to support the

migrant response. democratic mayor mike johnston said that would not affect the number of officers deployed on the street. and ice officials confirmed that a haitian migrant accused of killing two room mates in new york was, in fact, paroled into the u.s. after booking an appointment on that controversial cbp one app. >> trace: one more case. ashley strohmier live in new york, thank you. let's bring in the hilt national politics reporter, new york post reporter and chicago resident, thank you for coming on. here's a new york city public advocate saying that illegal immigrants are not getting what they need. watch. >> i'm saddened that this administration and some of the things they are doing are hurting black migrants the most. black migrants have not gotten the language access they needed, they haven't been able to connect to services. >> trace: i mean juliet the

list keeps getting longer. these sanctuary cities have now got to take care of these people even though they've admitted and literally do not have the resources -- julia -- >> absolutely. i think what you're seeing is a lot of these large cities urban corridors and areas like new york, chicago, the list goes on, they are now really finding out what it's like to be a border town and they are really trying to scramble to find the funding or figure out how to use that funding to deal with the crisis. but at the same time it seems like they are really having trouble finding their footing because in a lot of these cities it's not just the migrant crisis they are going through, they are also dealing with other issues like homelessness. so it's a real issue for them. >> trace: we are going to talk about that later in the show but you are exactly right. denver had to cut it's city budget, including the police department, but newsweek writes the following here, the denver asylum-seekers program will help migrants secure housing and work authorization for up to six months after they apply for

asylum. i think that is insufficient, says willie, an immigrant who helped organize the protest. denver cannot pay its own bills and these people are demanding more and more. your thoughts? >> welt not only can denver not afford to take care of the migrants that are there, but neither can chicago. that is why our mayor is currently asking the city for an additional $70 million. that they are going to be voting for in city council on friday. of course the chicago residents are saying no, we've given enough. at some point all of these sanctuary cities are going to have to take a step back and say you know what, we may need to rethink this because we don't have the resources to take care of the people that are here. and i think that the federal government also has to look at the border. biden has to look at the border crisis and he has to step in and

provide some kind of executive order. to wait around for congress to come up with some commonsense immigration legislation, we know we've been waiting on that for the past, i don't know how many years. >> trace: and i think when you look at this whole thing, you look at new york and chicago as you were saying, la, denver, the public schools are getting tens of thousands of students, lydia, and they don't know what to do with them. they are short on teachers, they don't have spanish-speaking teachers and it's detrimental to the students who are already in the school and test scores could not get much lower. >> that's exactly right. what we are seeing is it's a zero-sum game when it comes to government budget. if you can't, you know, one thing and spend it on immigrants, that hurts your existing people who live in those cities and so unfortunately it is students, veterans, senior citizens who are seeing their benefits cut as a result to make the numbers work. in new york we continue to give

out 10,000-dollar debit cards to immigrants. we have people staying sometimes in 400-dollar per night hotels. we sent $4.3 billion the last two years on housing for immigrants and you have to make the numbers work and so the sad reality is that students are the ones who are facing the consequences. >> trace: and the problem is that people that these sanctuary cities are trying to protect, the underserved, the veterans, you name it, the whole thing is they can't. they don't have the resources and those people are getting crushed in this effort to help everybody else. >> absolutely. i think it definitely makes it difficult. right now i think you are going to sea cities going into election season for example facing real questions. i think voters will be making decisions as to whether to reelect some of these officials or what path they want to essentially take forward. >> trace: do you think it will be a big issue in chicago, this issue is going to be big come election season in chicago?

>> absolutely. i've talked about this on this show multiple times. we here in chicago are so despondent with the democratic party that i am working to turn chicago red. that is my new goal. getting more people involved and basically just saying to the democratic party that if this is the role -- wrote you want to continue to go down, we can't go with you. >> trace: i think they are starting to listen. lydia, 15 seconds for you to wrap us up. this is going to be impactful. >> to say the least. this is the number 1 issue that people are concerned about as we are heading into this election cycle. even though this mayorkas impeachment has not moved forward, i think the conversation we are having a row that is important. sunlight is the best disinfectant so bringing visibility to the issues and at least getting people to talk about it getting the administration to address it, hopefully that is fresh on

people's minds as we continue. >> trace: not impeaching mayorkas, this is not a vote of confidence. not doing your job well does not warrant impeachment sometimes but you are still not doing your job well. thank you to you all, we appreciate it. >> no one is above the law! [ chanting ] >> trump is not above the law! >> an ideal juror? anyone who's fair. >> can you share your opinion of the former president. >> not a fan. it's difficult for anyone really in the country do not come to this with prior opinions. i think we all have prior opinions about the defendant unless you been living in a cardboard box since 2014. >> trace: the uphill climb for donald trump's defense team will continue tomorrow in day three of jury selection for his criminal hush money trial in new york city. let's bring in the cochair of the america first policies

institute center for law and justice, former florida attorney general. great to see you as always. the wall street journal says the following. on one of the jurors who was chosen. a married i.t. consultant who lives in manhattan's lower east side was among the seven selected. he said in court tuesday he found trump fascinating and mysterious. he marveled at how polarizing the former president is saying he walks into a room, he sets people off one way or the other. really? this guy, this one guy can do all of us? so this guy thinks the former president is a flame thrower and he's going to make a good juror? >> yeah, and what they are doing is they are forcing the president to use -- he only has 15 preparatory strikes meaning he can strike anyone for any reason but only 15 times. many of these people should be stricken for cause. yet from what we are hearing, the judges not letting that happen. if a juror has something on their social media that said trump should go to jail, they

are gone, they should be gone for cause, that is the law. but if that's not happening, that's a big problem for the prosecution because if convicted, this case will be reversed. >> trace: i have to put this out, this is the ladies on the view. worried that trump might get off on this case. watch. >> what could happen in a case like this is if you have someone, and we were talking about this morning, someone like clay travis, telling people to get onto the jury. you get one person that sneaks onto that jury with untoward feelings, that person can hang that jury. >> how do you hang a jury? >> you live. you say -- i hate trump but i can be impartial. >> trace: your thoughts? >> look, all they need is one juror who is going to be fair and impartial and there are going to be 12 jurors and six alternates and that is all they need. those women are ridiculous. they don't know what they are talking about.

you just need one juror who's going to follow the law because president trump did nothing wrong. >> trace: i wanted to get your take on this because i have you here, the carolina journal rights, students suspended for using the term "illegal alien" in english class. a 16-year-old student in lexington was suspended for three days last week after using the term "illegal alien" during a vocabulary assignment in english class. illegal alien, illegal immigrant is a legal definition on federal laws. >> and trace, that is set over 60 times and federal law, illegal alien. the project was to say the world alien so the child ask is it a space alien or illegal alien you want us to write about. he got suspended, it could ruin his college chances, is sports chances in college and so at america first policy institute, we try to reach out to the family to help represent him because if a football coach, remember coach kennedy, if it had to go to the supreme court

to show that he can prey on the side of the field, this child can use the word illegal alien in a class, especially in english class. >> trace: and we are going to try to get that kid on. pam, great to have you want, thank you. meantime, coming up, fox news and night keeps highlighting the attacks on conservative voters. and the biden a ministration, the media and those on the left, the attacks keep coming and we have push back next. later in the nightcap, a vital question that could make or break relationships. is it gaining steam, what is your preferred way to chat with somebody, would you rather text or call? some say it's not urgent, just text me, others default to talking on the phone because it's more efficient and personal. what do you prefer? texting, calling, let us know, x and instagram, we will read the best responses coming up in the nightcap. coming right back. [♪♪]

>> trace: back down to our breaking news live at columbia university where the protests are still going on. they were told to be done by 9:00 pm. they were even threatened with suspension or expulsion and yet there they are, two and a half hours later, still protesting act still chanting anti-semitic chance and there is nobody there moving them along. we will continue to watch this as "fox news @ night" continues. meantime "fox news @ night" is making it a priority to keep track of how rural voters in trump supporters are being attacked by politicians and the mainstream media. tonight's senior national correspondent kevin corke is taking a closer look at this. >> reporter: evening trace. you've no doubt heard the expressions before, these disparaging descriptions like, you know, basket of deplorable's , extreme maga republicans. each in it's own way is meant to

disparage tens of millions of americans who vote or republicans in general. for president trump in particular. while one might think the medias sneering barbs directed it trump backers were a thing of the past, critics say no, they are still at it. >> i'm getting tired of saying this to people who claim to be patriotic but hate america. he's advocating for complete and total presidential immunity. his words, not mine. that is monarchy [ bleep ] and it's your right to support it but just do me a favor or historical accuracy, next time you want to dress up at the rallies, where the right [ bleep ] colored coats. >> trace: all jokes aside, stuart and others have theorized that there's this anti-intellectualism and antielitism that is prosaic -- pervasive amongst trump's voters which is precisely the sort of thinking that drove npr

whistleblower who resigned from his post writing that he simply could not work in the newsroom where he was disparaged. this is the washington post also faces backlash tonight for, as some critics put it, whitewashing anti-semitism as being mere criticisms of israel, trace. >> trace: kevin corke live in dc, thank you. let's bring in the host of a home that heals podcast, former news anchor and unofficial founder of the pragmatic goals, formally known as the deplorable's, the author of come on man, thank you to you both. i want to play one more clip of joe scarborough's rant. it's worth the watch. here it is. >> what's wrong with you? who raised you? what history did you read? >> that's it. >> like where are you from? because you may claim to be from where i'm from but you were not raised by the same teachers i was raised by.

and you don't read. >> trace: and you don't read. he's getting cheers, kind of egged on has he goes on their. and you don't read. i mean he's taking a swing for all intents and purposes at the pragmatic goals, those who believe in faith, family and freedom. your thoughts? >> the people i run into at the grocery store all the time who tell me more and more that they don't watch the news anymore because of those very types of comments. the pragmatic goals, those are people that are looking at the world around them and they are very aware of what's happening because it's happening to their pocketbooks, it's happening to their schools. it's happening all around them and so they are making their decisions. often times not because they are great trump supporters. they want commonsense leadership to return in some fashion and right now donald trump, for them, many of people especially in a red state like idaho, that's the choice. you hear that and it's a very

different world. >> trace: it really is. joe scarborough also said this... >> if i vote for donald trump in 2024, and i've said it in my show, i will say it here, they are knowingly voting for a fascist. they are voting for a racist. he's openly racist, he's openly bigoted. >> trace: i mean he's calling these supporters bigoted and you worry, you think he and katie coric are calling these people dumb and they are bigoted, what's going on here? >> how do i put this? joe scarborough is either a profound idiot or the worst kind of performance artist you will see outside of, you know, skin a max at 3:00 in the morning. here's the deal, to go after 74 million people who voted for donald trump and currently basically half the country right now, and calling them idiots for

voting for what he says is a fascist or a dictator or whatever word we are using today to describe donald trump only shows how out of touch joe scarborough is. if he went to ohio or pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, arizona, georgia, nevada, any swing state, it out of the ivory tower that is msnbc at 30 rock in new york or if he's done in washington or when he's down in florida doing a show from there, he would hear that people have real concerns about inflation, crime, the border and two wars going on right now but of course joe scarborough is much like the elite media, out of touch with everybody else. >> trace: meantime berliner resigned from npr saying i'm resigning from npr where i worked 25 years. i don't support calls to defund npr, i respect the integrity of my colleagues, which for npr to thrive into important journalism but i cannot work in a newsroom where i am disparaged by the new ceo whose divisive use confirm

the very problems at npr eyesight in my free press essay. i mean it's amazing that this whole thing is, you know, federally funded in part but it's kind of a sad solution. >> it really is. i was really moved by berliner's opinion piece because as i read it i thought, you know, i worked in local news for 40 years, proud to work in local news, close to the people, close to what they are thinking and the things that are affecting them. but sadly we also regurgitated a lot of very biased news. i've been retired now for five years. it was getting worse and worse. i have to say, i wish i had been more outspoken at the time, but there's this sense that you want to be careful what you say because you don't want to come out like you are crazy, because you are getting all of this from national media and they should know what they are talking about but i think it's time for even local media outlets to stand up and say hey, we have to start

taking a closer look at this. >> trace: i think you are right. ten seconds for you to wrap us up, show. >> it's fascinating. npr insists they are the people that celebrate diversity and the exchange of free ideas and support and then one editor who only won a peabody award goes on and goes against the grain to call out the rampant bias at his publication that's gone too far and then he gets eliminated just like we saw with mcdaniel with nbc, just like we saw with benedet the new york times four years ago. this is a pattern, it's disturbing, it must stop but it will not unfortunately. >> trace: thank you both. coming up, the los angeles mayor finally has a solution to end the homelessness crisis, average people by them houses. commonsense department is going to have a field day with this one and we of course are monitoring the protests live at columbia university. they were told to leave. they are still there. nobody is moving them. we will check in again after the

break. break. live breaking news coverage, "fox news @ night". [♪♪] my scooter broke down. i went into a depression. how do you feel about that? pretty sad. and i posted it to show that kenny's not always happy. within 24 hours people had donated over $5,000. no, you're kidding. we set up the patriotic kenny foundation to give mobility scooters to veterans. it has changed my life tremendously. none of this would've happened without tiktok.

>> trace: even more breaking news coming into "fox news @ night", reports of 911 outages in several states including nevada, the las vegas metro police department confirming just minutes ago that there is indeed a loss of 911 service in nevada impacting the public's ability to contact first responders. no estimate for restoration at this time. there's also reports of outages in nebraska and south dakota. we don't know what the connection is, if there's any, but these are 911 outages in nevada, south dakota and nebraska. we will keep you up to speed on what's going on there. meantime if we can check the live pictures, columbia university, the protest still going on. the number of protesters is now dwindling a bit. it was hundreds and hundreds earlier. now it looks to be about 50 or 60 but they are still chanting.

they were told to leave, they have not left, there they are. meantime not long after we learned california had no idea where millions of dollars spent on mitigating homelessness went, the democratic mayor of los angeles is now asking the rich people to help pay to house the homeless. matte finish back live with more on that. >> reporter: there were an estimated 75,000 almost people here in la county last year and now the city's mayor is asking the rich to help pigeon to house them. >> we are asking the most fortunate to participate in this effort, to help us acquire more properties, lower the cost of capital and speed up housing. >> trace: >> reporter: that's la mayor karen bass announcing the launch of the campaign which urges the most fortunate to donate millions of dollars towards purchasing homeless housing which would relieve the city of nightly rental costs. the mayor calls la's current homelessness problem a disaster and in her first city budget she

allocated more than $1 billion towards homelessness. she's also touting the success of her insides a program which she says moved more than 21,000 houseless into shelters however the number of homeless increased 9 percent countywide and 10 percent citywide last year and a new audit released this month reveals that california has spent more than $20 billion on homelessness over the past five years but the state has failed to monitor exactly where all that money ended up. >> trace: that's a good question. matt, thank you. [♪♪] the "fox news @ night" commonsense department is watching the mayor of los angeles abandoned a major campaign promise. she told voters if they put her in office she will solve homelessness. now she's in office and she wants the voters to solve homelessness. mostly the rich voters. the ones mayor bass calls the most fortunate. so she is asking the same people

who pay 70% of the taxes to donate a bunch of money to help the city acquire more properties to house the homeless. commonsense would like to point out that homelessness in los angeles isn't just creeping up, it's dashing up, increasing 80% from 2015-2022 and that is likely an estimate because in case you did not hear, california is not really great at bookkeeping. in the past five years the state spent $24 billion on homelessness only to see the problem get worse. and nobody knows where the 24 billion went. so when the rich donate this money to acquire these properties in los angeles where a one bed one bathhouse is 1,000,005, what happens then? who pays the taxes? the upkeep, utilities? is la going to foot the bill or is this an annual pickpocket of the most fortunate? by the way, the new program is called la for la. commonsense thanks i owe you for lol might be a bit more

appropriate. without let's bring in california policies and attorney and the dean of pepperdine university school of public policy. talk about public policy, pete peterson. we are going to have the rich take care of this? i'm going to get an office and have the rich take care of the homeless problem. what is this? >> not only does it reveal that la has a major problem. just last week the city announced that they are half a billion dollars in debt. so this is obviously -- all of the money they've spent is not only overreach but underperformed. the second piece is this is what's known as a housing first approach homelessness and every city where that has been tried, it's all about providing housing without enforcement and treatment around it. you are just putting people that in many cases are broken into houses and not really fixing the problem. >> trace: exactly right. we've heard that again and again. meantime speaking of a shortfall

in california money, tens of billions of dollars of deficit. saying, school facility funds cut as part of agreement to reduce california's budget shortfall. the agreement signed april 4th cuts the states school facility aid program by 500 million reducing the fund from 75 million to 375 million. test scores and a 30 year low, who needs more money for the schools for crying out loud? >> this really bothers me. this is something i find personally offensive. last week, you know, i said on my local school board. i had to sign a declaration to the state explaining why we deprived our students of three days of instructional time because of a power failure on campus. we've been begging our state for money for facilities. the way that school districts are funded in california is an allocation from the state and what they are doing is pulling money out of wealthy communities , sending it to other areas, sending it, you know, $24 billion to homelessness that's increased by 32%, sending

it to illegal immigrant healthcare. all of these things, meanwhile our students cannot go to school because their buildings aren't functioning. >> trace: it's crazy but that's california. so you think that's crazy, how about this? a key california senate committee on tuesday moved forward with a proposal to make purchasing a child for sex a felony in the state. currently purchasing or soliciting a child for sex is a misdemeanor with a maximum penalty of up to a year in jail or a minimum of two days in jail along with a 10,000-dollar fine. i thought it was the onion, i really did. this is crazy. it's true. >> and your viewers probably will remember that it was just last year when state senator -- republican from the central valley -- had to force the democrats to change their policy to make sext trafficking counting as a third strike. it took weeks of pushing democrats in the legislature to do that. now we are back with his other

policy that most californians would say, how come this isn't a felony already, but it really is taking again then being forced to do the commonsense thing. >> trace: if gavin newsom said you can buy a child for sex in california and spent two days in jail. >> right. and disgustingly out of this committee they imposed two amendments where they took 16 and 17 -year-olds out so those no longer count as minors and now on your first offensive you don't have to be deemed a sex offender. that's not even good enough for scott weiner, he still voted no. >> trace: insanity. thank you both. sent a text, phone or slide into someone's dm's? so many ways to reach out but we want to know which is your favorite. is there one you avoid at all costs and is there one you love? let us know, x and instagram @tracegallagher, we will read
