it was columbia where students took over during the vietnam war. students took over the president's office and everybody thought that was so cool and so noble, younger people like me grew up and were like what? i was afraid to knock on the president of the university's door. there's nothing cool about anarchy and chaos on your college campuses. i think sometimes these administrators, i don't know if theying came straight from academia, i don't know what their problem is, but they're paid to keep people safe and have an orderly environment where students can learn. mr. cooperman may be right there. they're getting it. better late than never. >> today they announced they've gone hybrid effectively for the rest of the semester. a lot of people say you're saying you can't control the situation. maybe that's thepracticality of where they are, but they're getting better at handling this. that hasn't stopped robert kraft. he's an alumnus. he said he is effectively not going to be giving them more money. there's a whole number of major money and if you do,

this is day three of protests here at columbia. as you mentioned, starting on wednesday, while the president, a split screen moment, was down testifying on capitol hill, there were students setting up an encampment, so they can stay, not just protesting the war and trying to show support to palestinians in gaza, but also directly asking the administration here to cut ties with israeli companies or businesses here. and then what we saw happen yesterday, i was on the ground as police officers, some in riot gear entered campus, they took students about 114 we confirmed were arrested and then later released. and they're going to be facing summons in the coming days. it created a flashpoint here, a debate over free speech and safety here on campus with pro-palestinian students saying that this was an aggressive move from the president, that there are protests on the campus lawns were peaceful, while jewish students are in some cases saying this created a fearful environment, made many of them unsafe. really it is a sense on campus this

he knows he might be on the chopping block and it's not surprising he would go out to columbia university and stir up really more anger and hate and endanger the lives of young people who are in the encampment at columbia university. >> do you have a theory? i have a theory, but the way in which the right wing has almost even taken it out of the like debate over free speech/anti- semitism and made this a war against "liberal elites," i have to call out hypocrisy on josh hawley who is calling for the national guard to be pulled in over the protests and the same josh hawley with the january 6th rioters outside the capitol. how do you explain the discrepancy between the way they saw those individuals and these individuals? >> it's a complete clown show. these people do not care about violent protests. they don't care about 1st amendment. they care about their performing their political theater, which is what they most of the time do. these are people who supported insurrectionists on january 6th who threatened my life and the lives of all of our colleagues, who threatened the peaceful transf

not necessarily about the president of columbia leaving columbia but everything else he said. jewish students shouldn't have to run in fear for their safety. they shouldn't have to skip classes because they fear for their safety. they shouldn't have to go online to learn. because of this rhetoric. by the way, all those chanting, everybody chanting and screaming there, only helped mike johnson. most americans are like, yeah, this is a college campus. it's a place for students to learn. i'm looking at "the new york times" opinion page here. we over here? "new york times" opinion page here. >> other side. >> i want to read for you from the associate professor of linguistics at columbia university. he says this, "students' actions may not be driven by anti-semitism but they've gone on way too far. the relentless assault of the current protest, daily, loud, louder, into the night, and using even angrier rhetoric is beyond what any people should be expected to bear up under, regardless of their whiteness, privilege, or power. people will differ on how peaceful that sound can ever be

attorney for the district of columbia. thanks for waking up early. your reaction to the speed at which these jurors and alternate jurors were selected yesterday i think i thought and many of us would have thought this was going to go a little more slowly. >> pretty surprising, ali. and i think it's a tribute to something judge merchan did really unorthodox, in fact, unprecedented in my experience. when we pick injuries we generally don't start by having the judge say if there's anybody here who thinks they can't be fair and impartial, raise their hand. about 50 of the first batch of 196 jurors raised their hand, and they were summarily dismissed. i can tell you that's not the way jury selection is ordinarily conducted. usually if a juror says they don't think they can be fair, we ask a bunch of probing questions to really test whether they can be fair or not. but in this case, judge merchan basically decided to let those jurors who feel like they would have a hard time being fair sitting in judgment of donald trump just opt out. they could summarily
