extended for 48 hours. we will see whether negotiations continue or if we see police come here here again? or than 200 arrests overnight, those protests blocking traffic, turning angry. also some potential consequences for students who do get suspended, saying international students could lose their visa support and possibly faze deportation if they are suspended from their classrooms. back to you. >> sandra: okay,, steve harrigan live for that, thank you. we will be speaking to one of the columbia students meeting with the speaker later this our, stay tuned for that. first at columbia student, on what she wants to hear, from the president of student supporting israel. speaking very much for joining is, what could he tells about what this has been like for you? at this time in your life? >> thank you as much for having me today, i really appreciate you keeping the attention onto those present topic. >> sandra: we are waiting for this moment it, my johnston's

how to take into the microphone after meeting with jewish students! let's listen live on the columbia campus. >> thank you all for being here today. we have several members of congress here and we are here today at one of america's academic institutions on a very important day, very important time. throughout history columbia students have contributed to the great storybook of america's life, visionary and megan leaders like alexander hamilton, john jay, the jewish leader, new that is self-evident truths that was at the heart of this cou country, and once at the whole of this university and that is that we are downed by our creator with certain and if it will right, they should not be infringed. the founders and the great leaders that have come to this institution in the past believed in religious liberty. they believed in democracy, they believed in morality and virtue,

the dignity of every human person. they believed in the free exchange of ideas, and they protested malvern rule. we're setting here now at the steps of the lower library, in this way building right behind us, lumby university ones awarded winston churchill an honorary degree and it was churchill who said "it is manifested to write that jews should have a national home where they made to be reunited". we believe that principle. and here i am to proclaim to all of those who match their teeth and demand to wipe the state of israel off the map and attack our innocent jewish students, this simple truth, neither israel nor in these jewish students on this campus will ever stand alone. today hamas issued an endorsement statements of the protesters of this camp is it called them the future leaders of america, it is detestable. all of this has to be said because that the chairs traditions of this university are being take -- overtaken

right now by radical and extreme ideologies, the tate -- plays a target on the backs of jewish students in the united states and he on campus back a growing number of students have chanted in support of terrorists, they have chased down jewish students, they have mock them and revile them, they have shattered racial epithets, they have screamed out those at the start of david. [ chanting ] enjoy your free speech! they told students wearing the star of david to leave the country and shamefully some professors of faculty have joined the mobs. things that got us out of control the school has canceled inverters and clauses and are they have come up with is a vibrant model where they will discover and against jewish students, they are not allowed to going to cause anymore for fear of their lives and it's detestable. as columbia has allowed these lawless agitators and radicals to take over, the writers of anti-semitism is spreading across other campuses.

by some counts as many as 200 universities have a similar form of protest right now. at el, jewish student was stabbed in the eye with the palestinian flag and 45 students were arrested? at nyu, pro hamas protesters were shouting from the river to the sea. anti- israel encampments are popping up at universities all across this country. the madness has to stop. the madness has to stop. we just after meeting with jewish students who told us of the heinous act of bigotry that they have experienced simply because of their faith. their bravery is inspiring. much more inspiring than some of the activities racing here. they should never have to confront such hate on an american pop -- college campus, such a revered institution. anti-semitism has been growing in america and it is clear why, powerful people have refused to condemn it, and some have even peddled it themselves black from

university professors to public officials, people in positions of authority have denied the horrific facts of september 11th 2001, the attacks on the any of it states that happen right here in new york city, and they have attended to excuse or to ignore the barbaric attack of hamas of israel on october 7th 2023. were israeli woman and children were savagely raped and murdered and infants were cooked in ev evans, crowds of radical activist have chanted death to america and on our own streets in our country, and some public officials have refused to condemn them. others have openly defendant these acts on campus, the harassing, the intimidation and a threatening of innocent jewish students. similar because of who they are. they call that a peaceful protests. some have even gone as far as calling for the state of israel to be eliminated? these are words we expect from

those in around, not american lawmakers and not american students. and unsurprisingly, it is giving away to threats and violence in a generation of students who feel safe in their own classrooms -- who do not feel safe in their own classrooms, where they live or where they worship. let me say this simply. no american of any color should have two live under those kinds of threats per mag that is on who we are in this country. sadly, lumby is it when traders have chosen the threats the fear and intimidation of the mob r rule, to overtake american principles a kris beech and a free of ideas, the free exercise of religion. and leo first amendment arguments to protect genocide and to elevate the voices of anti-semitism. they have proven themselves to be incapable of achieving their basic responsibility which is keeping students safe. we just cannot allow this kind of hatred and anti-semitism to

flourish on our campuses and it must be stopped in its tracks. those perpetrating this violence should be arrested. i'm here today, i am here today joining my colleagues and calling on presidents to resign if she cannot immediately bring order to this chaos. as speaker of the house i am committing today that the congress will not be silent as a jewish students are expected to one for their lives and stay home hiding in fear. in the house of representatives we have artie acted to address anti-semitism on campuses, we passed a number of statues to addresses matter and recall upon the u.s. senate to call upon the truck call upon our legislation for! revocable of my colleagues i would like to have it here say a few words, turning it for us to the chair of the house of education and workforce commission, virginia fox from north carolina. >> thank you mr. speaker. columbia university is in a

freefall, following the explosion of this anti-semitism, the education and workforce committee started investigating. so far the committee has uncovered key failures in the administration's response to the anti- somatic attacks and displays in this campus. first false testimony in committee regarding the removal of professor jody prasada, no action was taken. in addition to the administration has been a torture jewish students for a made up chemical attack. so i have a message, and a message for you all to, inmates are running the asylums. take back control of this one great -- once great institution. trying to act again, if not the committee will pursue every

possible avenue to create a safe learning environment for jewish students. are you all back? >> congresswoman, here in new york. >> it welcome to new york city. thank you where much for coming today, was a happy to welcome the speaker to new york city, we appreciate his leadership and coming here to condemn the anti-semitism that has been allowed to fester on this campus. we just met with a group of students who told is that not only have they been bullied, but many of them have been assaulted, spot on, they have had to walk the halls of this campus to see swastikas painted. these are clear example -- examples of anti-semitism and it is shocking to see it is happening in the most diverse

and welcoming city in america. it is truly outrageous and it is clear that the president of this university cannot control the campus, she cannot and will not hold students who are doing these types of anti- somatic activities accountable, -- annemac -- agent cannot keep the students of jewish faith who paid a lot of money and worked very hard to get to an ivy league institution like this, she cannot keep them say. that is why join my colleagues in calling for her resignation twomak thank you. >> next congressman from new york, anthony. >> thank you mr. speaker. of your protest on his campus and you are proud of that you have been endorsed by hamas, you're part of the problem. when you cheer on the fact that you enjoy hamas and hezbollah,

you are yourselves parts of the problem. mr. speaker i am proud to join with you here today and calling for the immediate resignation of the president of columbia, she has failed her duty, she is not keeping students safe, and we see on this campus the hate filled speech that is caring through this country. that's not carrying. >> another near congressman -- and another new york congressman. >> thank you mr. speaker for being here in new york. i want palestinians to be free to. from their oppressor, hamas. and every single one of you students? that support hamas, are an absolute abomination. it is shameful, shameful that he would support a terrorist organization that butchered and beheaded and burned innocent women, children and babies.

i went to israel a month after the attack on october 7th and i watched a 21 minute unedited video, raw footage of the at attack, i watched exactly what hamas did and sadly, sadly here in america, we have students endorsing the butchering and brutality of a terrorist organization in. if you want a cease-fire, the fastest way for a cease-fire to occur is for hamas to surrender and to release the hostages. if you cannot call for that, you are a pathetic embarrassment to this institution, into students everywhere. it is time for presidents for magnitude resign in disgrace, she has lost control of this campus, she has lost control of this institution, and after listening to her comments inside it is clear that she has no intention of getting this

university under control and ensuring the safety and well-being of every student. that is what is entitled to students attending this institution. if the students are not safe, if the institution will not act, congress has a responsibility to do so and we will. >> oleh thank my colleagues were sharing her thoughts here? want to say this as well. at the start of the american revolution the doors of this institution once known as king's college were closed, when the war ended the institution reopened and was renamed columbia college. it was a shift from the tyranny of the monarchy to the freedom

at the heart of the american experiment. now the forces of hatred once again are on the march, they have began to try to close columbia's doors to his segment of students, to every jewish student listening to us no matter where you are across the country, you have my word, the u.s. house of representatives will do everything in our power to ensure that you are safe, you can freely practice your faith and you can go to school just everybody else. we will punish those who have allowed this violence and bigotry to go unchecked. with that it will take a few questions. >> [ inaudible ] >> we met briefly with the president and officials before we came out with those who are, we urge her to take immediate action, in our feeling is they have not acted to restore order on campus twomak this is dangerous, this is not free expression, this is not a first amendment. they were threatening, intimidating saying they will take violence upon jewish students directly met with the jewish students in fear, they cannot come on campus, they

cannot study for the final exams. this affects everybody's lives and it affects the image that we've portrayed to the world, this is not who we are as americans, soon have you spoken to the president about bringing in the national guard and have senators urged the president to do that as well? 's who won my attention is to call president biden after we leave here and share with him what we are seeing with our own two eyes and demand he take action. there's exec of authority to be appropriate, of this is not contained quickly and of these threats and intimidation are not stopped there is an appropriate time for the national guard. we have to bring ordered to this campus, we cannot allow this to happen around the country. we are better than this and i'll ask the president to do that and i will tell him the same thing you and what is the house going

to do? what is the plan? to work -- and i genuinely believe there's bipartisan agreement on those will stand for what is good and what is right. it is not matter who shows in our faces, we will do what is right by america. we respect free speech, we respect diversity of ideas. but there is a way to do that in a lawful manner and that is not what this is. >> [ inaudible ] from jewish students, israeli

students, how do you respond? >> i'm not sure who the aggressors are, but i will tell you that any of that is an appropriate. it is lawlessness, it is chaos. it is not who we are. we believe in the rule of law, that is one of the foundational principles of america. it must be maintained. the college campus used to be a place for respectful debate, for the differences of opinion and the free-market ways of ideas to be discussed. that is not what is happening here. you are intimidating and shutting down people you disagree with. you cannot censor and a silence viewpoint you disagree with. that is not american. you do not understand what it means to respect the first amendment. >> what he said to do students inside of the encampment right now? >> might messages go back to class and stop the nonsense be! looked, to have a debate on campus about the merits of these things loads do that but you cannot intimidate your fellow

students and make them stay off -- home from class. is that right? dc that is right? stop wasting your parents money, that's what congressman said anything that is right. >> what about those. >> [ inaudible question by the media ] >> i don't know who is and then said that, but it is unacceptable and the megan people are demanding account ability for it. that is why they made the trip here today, that is why this press conference is important. we want this administration and the administration of every university campus around the country to bring this to account and to bring this lawlessness to an end. that is what we need? >> sandra: alright that was a long-awaited speech after the meeting with jewish students on campus there, steve harrigan is joining is, he's watching all of those live at columbia university. steve, he just heard the speaker of the house and partisan they are addressing what he called a dangerous rise in anti-semitism

in america, calling on again columbia's president, minouche shafik to resign. you heard that from other lawmakers present there as well. mike who will be joining us in a few moments, said after meeting with a college president, she believes she has lost control of the situation and has no intention of regaining control. mike, sorry steve, i wonder what you heard of the students chanting, was it mike you suck? think about the hut. these lawmakers encoding the speakers are calling out hamas and the brutality of terrorism and they are yelling to the speaker mike you suck? see what it does a remarkable scene to my left, the speaker of the house and several of his colleagues in several hundred students. released bearded back and forth, gadget to be hot to the speaker for coming here and addressing the students directly and calling them out and criticizing them, the students responded

back with mold will chance in getting one chant, mike you suck which is of really drowned him out for good part of that. 's speaker johnson did to say hamas has endorsed the students protesting here calling to them the future leaders of america, also saying that is a target on the back of jewish students here at columbia and no student should have to deal with that. he describes the protesters as a lawless mob and as the administrators as well, and also make threats, to withhold federal funding and also to use the national guard here if necessary. a dramatic confrontation between the two sides, one through the microphone, another large group chanting to back an insulting the house speaker. >> sandra: really interesting that they are, when the speaker of the house said he was asked if he is in favor of calling the national guard, getting on the phone about what you saw their own campus in a meeting with these students, saying they don't feel safe, they feel threatened, they are seeing the

swastikas on the walls. he said that he will call the president to tell him what he is saying. steve noting that president is traveling to new york tomorrow and as we know at this point, no plans for the president to walk on and look at what is happening on any of these new york campuses? >> exactly speaker johnson have to give them credit for coming here first-hand not only dealing with the protesters facing off with them directly but also taking his time to listen to jewish students and faculty at here at what they have been going through, to hear their fight, and you couldn't see the speaker was visibly angry and trying to deliver a scolding to the students who insulted him and turn. pretty fired up speaker basically saying he will call president biden immediately after this meeting and he will tell him consider using the national guard here. really a step beyond dissing the

president should -- >> sandra: looks like we lost either. we thank you a steve for his reporting their live at columbia university as protests continue. a growing number all over the country. they're elitist we have been watching those live pictures next to the speaker, we are live in austin, texas, as we saw the walkout today and those protests continue there. back to the columbia student a joint is just before the speaker of the house, president of student supporting israel, joining us now. thank you for standing by, you distort the speaker of the house on the columbia campus, a place you know very well. what is your reaction to what you heard? >> thank you so much for having to me. what we're seeing on columbia's campus unfold right now is not anything new and it's not entirely surprising to us as students. we are witnessing the culmination of really what is six-month of festering anti-semitism that is only being reinforced by a complete lack of

leadership. as our lawmakers mentioned. an incredible grateful to them to the chair, to speaker johnson for their support of jewish students, and really for upholding american values because what we are seeing on campus right now is no longer just about jewish students, it is about america and the future of our democracy. >> sandra: a lot of concern about it, you have read from the lawmakers as it took to the steps there behind the speaker. multiple points they took to their microphone as well, one said that columbia is allowing lawless agitators to take over, another set of the inmates are running the asylum. the speaker of the house in agreement with what he heard, why do you see all of this going? >> louck, columbia has proven to be a morally corrupt and fundamentally broken institution. as you saw last week's congressional hearing, our leaders do not follow through, their actions do not match their

words. really what we need now is accountability. we need our students to be held accountable, we need professors to be held accountable. we need the determinations of professors that are promoting pro- terror and anti- american agendas, and if columbia cannot follow through we need to terminate a federal funding to the university. >> sandra: a missing member of congress in new york, a member of congress alexandria cortes was always a missing from that group there. she led into the presidents speaking to the other day saying what she is saying our peaceful protests. protests that are these students have the right to honor these campuses. have they been peaceful? what have you experienced, what have you seen personally as a jewish student at columbia? >> i mean as speaker johnston was speaking about how babies were literally burned alive in evans on october 7th, students were chanting over him. i think that is the essence of

this movement. does not antiwar or pro- humanitarian, you cannot call for a cease-fire and cheer on hamas rockets in the same breath. it is outstandingly hypocritical and that is what we have been seeing on campus. my friends had flags ripped out of their hands and burned, they have been attacked, they have been physically hit and shoved, they have been followed off of campus and stocks, people through fake blood as some of my friends, through water at others, these are jewish students simply trying to be on campus that they worked so hard to get to and paid so much money to attend. it is ridiculous. >> sandra: now cancels -- it now classes canceled in prison for the rest of the semester. i will let you go, your so strong to be speaking out about this and coming on tv talking about exactly what it ain't detail is happening to you and other students on campus. are you going to continue on there? >> sorry do you mind repeating the last part of the question?

>> sandra: are you going to continue on there at columbia? >> that is my plan as of now. as difficult as it is and as much as we have been bullied, intimidated, harassed and assaulted, we refuse to give into the mob the same way our leaders have. we worked incredibly hard to get here and it is our campus as much as that is everybody else's, jewish students will be intimidated and we will not be driven off of our campus. freedom of speech is an incredibly fundamental aspect of our american democracy and as a daughter of immigrants i appreciate that more than anyone. but what we are seeing right now is not free speech because free speech does not include freedom to harass and intimidate and it does not include freedom to infringe on the free speech of others so we will continue to stand strong and to be proud american jews at columbia and we will not be driven off of our campus were silenced the way that our university leaders have been.

>> sandra: we really thank you for coming on the program, eden yadegar you have been through a lot and we wish you the absolute best, thank you. >> thank you so much. >> sandra: it is not just columbia university, new york city anti- israel protests have been popping up everywhere sporting through texas and even california today. fox's william has of a latest from the chaos they are, hello. >> hello, you're ready, two ongoing situations, one in texas will assert in los angeles was of a hundred students and outsiders try to take over part of the usc campus to erect tans and bring in banners for a sit in demanding a cease-fire, in the camp and -- company doing defense business with his open mic at the encampment in the liberation zone, going up this morning to buy palestinian protesters. you as he told pitt dishman campus police do not let that happen, that is when the confrontation happened. they tried to detain a protester, it up cop car, and

sounded and released the suspect by they called the lapd, went to be brought in, of necessary. protesters marching peacefully around the aquatic, so the standoff continues. university of texas the main campus in austin, 50,000 students there, very different response! the dean of students told the palestinian solidarity committee not to be, this would not be permitted, to hold an event that they would not tolerate disruptions and attendees are to be suspended or arrested. several hundred students gathered on the main loan directly under the tower and tried to erect tents. they brought in texas dps, police moved into a rest one of the leaders, criminal trespass charges, they formed a country of officers to arrest this leader, not allowing to other protesters to get into do stop them, ten arrests so far, to the bottom line is android, neither of these universities want to allow what other columbia

especially here at u.s. and see, one week before graduation with the alumni and parents show up to celebrate it would be an embarrassment to lose control of the campus. back to you. >> sandra: from la to texas, we have a shot of right now, william, austin, texas, growing police presence is there. we saw earlier the troopers come and get in on horseback, as of the students engage in a walk out on the campus. we are watching all of these. fresh off of the meeting with the speaker of the house at columbia, short time ago, one of the students who met with the speaker and the other members of congress i came to the university, will join as life, next. let's get the rest of these plants in. organic soil from miracle-gro has grown me the best garden

i have ever had. good soil, and you get good results. this soil will blow you away. it's the martha stewart of soil. progressive makes it easy to save with a quick commercial auto quote online. so you can get back to your monster to-do list. -really? -get a quote at progresivecommercial.com. ooo, that looks complicated. that's why visionworks organizes our frames by shape and price so it's simple to find a pair you'll love. there are the shapes, that's the price. now you get it. visionworks. see the difference.

>> sandra: looking left the protests that continue at the university of texas, austin, a student who just met with the speaker johnston at the columbia university campus moments ago we'll join us live, next

>> sandra: as he is and to israel protest continue, president joe biden continuing to ease pressure from all side. the very latest from there for us, hello rich soon the afternoon sandra the white has was just wrapping up its briefing as house speaker johnson was meeting with jewish students at a columbia has called for the resignation to take down the present at columbia university, as entries said that as a private university they can make those decisions and also side of this administration will continue calling out anti-semitism. c1 protests must be peaceful erect students must be say. receive islandwide records, we have to call that out. we see physical intimidation or grotesque anti- -- anti-semitic remarks, we have two speak that out. >> coaches have intensified spreading to campuses across the country, president biden is scheduled to be in new york tomorrow. stopping on the schedule on

columbia or any other campus, that is not included to be mugged administration's or department of education is a leading the investigation of the anti-semitism on campus across the country, more than 25 republican senators have it right into the education secretary, and the attorney general, asking for them to "must act immediately to restore order, prosecuted the mobs that have perpetrated violence and threats against jewish students, revoke the visas of all foreign nationals such as exchange students who have taken part in promoting terrorism and hold accountable student -- school and when his readers by instead of protecting their students". speaker johnston did say on campus he was planning on calling the president about all of this, is and is he left columbia university. talk to the white house manage -- see if they will canuckmac also today, benjamin netanyahu did say the anti-semitic mobs have taken over universities in the u.s. and is reminiscent of what happened in germany universities in 1930s twomak

sandra? >> sandra: a warning to the united states, thank you. now those... >> just left a meeting with jewish students were told us of the heinous acts of bigotry they have experienced simply because of their faith. their bravery is inspiring. watch more inspiring than some of the activities racing here. i'm here today to join my colleagues and calling our presidents to resign if she cannot immediately bring order. >> sandra: does hart house become a johnson moments ago targeting those anti- israel protests, after meeting with jewish students, robbie fox was one of them. robbie joints is now, robbie, welcome, thank you for joining us. c1 thank you were having me. >> sharing with us in our audience what he shared with house speaker during that visit? >> of course,, yes. it was great to have speaker johnston come and have the other lawmakers join as, speaker

johnston really trying to reaffirm the values that we have in the wee share, the jewish students on campus, the congresses with thousands and that they are behind us against these mobs and against this anti-semitic rhetoric. is always nice to have lawmakers, officials come, show their support. earlier in the week, the governor was here speaking to students as well. as great as a support is, unfortunately i think the students would say, there's still no change despite that pressure from elected officials on the university. to combat anti-semitism. >> sandra: and by not feeling any change, is that in of the growing numbers of threats that the lack of safety that you feel walking through campus? can you share with me some of the specific examples that you and others have experienced writer they are on a college campus? >> of course,, i tried to live

my life and not allow myself to be intimidated by any prot protesters, there was one incidents on the day of the arrest after the protesters moved from the lawn or people were rusted to the lower lawn adjacent to it. there was -- there was a protester wearing a red trivia covering his face showing us a logo of hamas basically trying to instigate something, i think people probably saw that photo going around of the individual. basically claiming he is a member of hamas, so this is what we don't do, we don't have protesters claiming to be members of hamas claiming to align with their ideology which is to kill jews on our campus. i think that is one thing that was crazy to me, about a week ago, not a week ago, a couple of days ago when protests started, was walking to meet with my

friends and i called him to see where they were and one of them said, hey,, he is non-jewish i am, he said to the protester kind of crazy right now, you should walk with a friend. which i do not think anything of it at the time but it's crazy that some of my friends even realizing it is unsafe for me to be walking, to just be walking around campus as i normally do. >> sandra: incredible statement. something we are living through right now, first and foremost you be saved there, you are standing with the tv camera on you rbc offer everything we heard it, who are these people, what percentage of what we are seeing her students and people coming onto the campus that are not students? you just had this moment where the speaker of the house is addressing the campus university after meeting with jewish students there who say they don't feel safe calling out hamas as a terrorist group, the brutalities they have inflicted on people and the crowd was

shouting him down and during it. >> yeah. yeah. it's... it's crazy to say, it really is. these protesters, the main organizations on columbia campus that have been organizing these protests are students were just as in palestine and jewish voice for peace, that, those two groups were suspended a while ago by the university, they have still been operating through various other groups, organized protests. it is unclear to me who exactly is leading this encampment but it is pretty clear that you know, they have been encouraging people outside of agitators to come outside the gates, be a part of these protests. colombia claims that they closed the gates and they are only allowing people with columbia ids to come in, i don't know. there is no way for them to

really enforce, they haven't really been able to. i assume based on those rules and everybody on the lawn at the encampments are columbia students. but i have no way of knowing that for sure, and my other fellow classmates on either. it's a weird position to be in. >> sandra: absolutely. year in college, you supposed to be in the classroom learning, broadening your horizons and making friends and going off into the world. you're going through a lot, thank you for sharing your story, best to you. >> of course,, thank you. >> sandra: from columbia university be back over to new york university, new york city to trump tower, in the city i should say. a decision on i., order could come in any moment, we are watching florida live report will be next. st of doing business...” but at what cost? turn shipping to your advantage. with low cost ground shipping from the united states postal service.

trump violated a gag order, this decision could be coming in any moment. at trump tower with the very latest, would be no? >> hi sandra go for more president donald trump is spending his day away from trump tower, again criticizing the judge mark schaan, again at this time exclusive retelling fox news digital that believes he is above with the u.s. supreme court after he denied his request to attend arguments about presidential immunity, instead he will be here in maine hansen in court in a child he says is rigged. he said he has been active on truth social posting "there is no crime, this is a political witch hunt, election interference". the former president left trump tower just before 9:00 am this morning and the question this hour remain, will the judge hold trump in contempt for violating the cords gag order and if so, what will drums penalty be? the da office is not seeking to jail him for the guy gorda right

now but the prosecutor chris conry said yesterday that it appears trump is "angling toward that". donald trump is accused of whiling the order ten times on social media and again one day when speaking about his former lawyer michael cohen is out of the courtroom. the former president claims he's was wanting to attack some others but yesterday in court, his lawyer cannot provide an example of one of those attacks at which point of the judge said "mr. blanche you are losing all credibility in a court". and he argued that trump is not violating the guy gorder, in part because he shared articles written by other people on social media -- gag order -- rather than making up original post. we will see what the judge things of that argument and see if he comes out with a ruling before court resumes at 9:30 o'clock. >> sandra: already, as a trump tower there, year new york city, thank you. the supreme court said to hear arguments tomorrow, the former deputy assistant attorney general tom degree and what we should be watching for.

tom, laid out for a spin! soo and sandra, tomorrow is a big day. vesting with the because judicial question whether the president enjoyed immunity from federal prosecutions, while they are in office! like the donald trump team has made a very aggressive legal arguments, the one fairly broad sweeping immunity. march or the supreme court will go that far but it is possible the supreme court could recognize at narrower scope of immunity which can have the consequence of delaying his trial even further, escorts have to wrestle with which particular actions might be immune. >> sandra: interesting, can you paint the picture everything that will be underway 10:00 am tomorrow morning we are told it, what is this look like, what is a sound like and what is a trump team preparing to happen here? sue and look at think the trump team has to be prepared to have some strong questioning from the

supreme court. they are arguing that the court of appeal, so i think they can anticipate the type of questions it'll be on the justices mind to be! think it will also be interesting to see what the prosecutor is arguing, whether they argue the lower court got in exactly right and nothing needs to be changed or whether there may be willing to agree to a little bit of what the trump team is saying? i think we will be able to read a lot of tea leaves when we hear the questions the justices asked, always kind of hawser it is to think the outcomes of the cases based on the questions and argument. thing tomorrow morning we will have a pretty good sense of which the supreme -- which way the sabine court is leaning. >> sandra: what is expectation with a gag order at this point in time? sue one look look at things the gag order is, we will get an ruling very soon from the judge i think it was i yesterday the judge really listened to the way trumpet legal team has been

defending those, trump supporters were saying that president was doing his best to compile with order, the judge made clear, my jet different my guess is the judge would probably [ inaudible ] i suspected that he may clarify or even tighten up the gag order. i do think he will go as far as try to throw the former president in it jail or anything like that, is an at this point he is just trying to issue a stern sanction, tell the former present has to tone down the tweets on the trial resume. >> sandra: seeing him step away, is made void was report has a trump tower, this will be a lot, potentially hearing on that note in the next few minutes, on into tomorrow in the supreme court, 10:00 am tomorrow morning. that is expected to last around 90 minutes. final thought here tom as the president, the former president continues to point out all of this is happening while his opponent, is out campaigning and he makes the case how unfair it is that he's sitting in a

courtroom. final thought? >> he has a pointmac can't imagine how you campaign for president sitting in a courtroom all david eby with that says the former president says -- has shown he can still communicate to get his message out to tell the people what he's thinking, he's not shy. i think this will be the new normal, the world we're living in for the next few weeks. >> sandra: we will say tomorrow tom, speeding for joining us. >> thank you. >> sandra: we just got this statement by the way just in from the university of texas, the division of student affairs on the ongoing protests that are happening there, alive look at that camp is on your screen. the statement reads in part "do not tolerate disruptions of campus activities or operations like we have seen at other campuses. it's an important time in our semester were strands or finishing classes and studying for finals and we will act first and foremost to allow those critical functions to proceed without interruption ".

and the protests edit new york university's campus in downtown manhattan downtown manhattan, interesting ut joined the comparison how things are playing on other campuses versus there's, alexis mcadams joining us now. what is the update there? >> you can see behind me here at nyu they have all of these boards up because they are trying to people from setting up those gaza solidarity encampments, we just heard from the speaker of the house mike john zinati far from here new york city talking about the university, telling protesters, hey,, it out here out of this campus and go back to class. and you can see here what is going on with these boards, this comes as nypd says they are ready to jump in it but the schools -- if schools need help cleaning the campus. >> we don't wanted to get how it got was george floyd, that is why we are handling them with kid gloves, but as chief john chell says, of the try to hold his rhetoric on the streets setting up encampments kind that is not going to happen. not as long as we are in the

leadership position here in the city. >> nypd -- prejudices have been gathering in front of the library and the location where they are learning to different ways to handle police if they are kicked off campus during a protest. just the other day more than 100 arrests and accounting here at nyu, so the schools using large boards to block it off. you can see here this is what happen when our cameras or try to get close to those protests happening in front of the library, the pop up those in bella's because they don't want to talk to us. many of the protesters are not listening, this video shows the officer's action made an arrest the other night, when they handcuffed a protester that she tried to run and the group and get that protester out of police custody. please had to go inside the building for safety reasons. nypd say they remain on high alert they are ready to jump in if possible, but ones that are so many students gathering, nypd has to go at the final hour once

these schools ask them to use it could be more difficult to clear hundreds of students at a time. >> sandra: absolutely, we will see how ud handles envimac they say they will do to better be mexico thank very much alexis. back to columbia university, just met with jewish students there is anti- israel protests rage on there. new york congressman mike waller joins us now, congressman welcome, which is how you speaking to shortly after we heard from the speaker of the house mike johnson. what was the meeting leg with these jewish students on campus? >> obvious he was there to express our support for them sandra, to make it clear the united states congress will act. we're not going to tolerate these continued anti- somatic protests all across america, but especially as a new yorker here in new york -- anti-semitic. our present one of the largest jewish committees in the country in my congressional district and this is totally unacceptable to see this rabid anti- semitism

that is taking over universities like columbia. these folks are supporting hamas, a terrorist organization that a butchered and beheaded innocent woman to treat let me ask you, was that all of them? did you get the sense it was a small group of the protesters that were in support of hamas or were you looking at a large percentage of the population in the protests that work? >> we were looking right at the is young students as they were chanting from the river to the sea, they were chanting a free palestine and as a set on my remarks, want the palestinian people to be free to from their oppressor, their oppressor is hamas, and terrorist organization which indiscriminately uses innocent palestinians as human shields. these kids are part of the participation trophy generation that have never been told to know in their lives and it needs to start happening. this is unacceptable, we met with the president of minouche

shafik and i told her, this cannot continue. there must be action -- >> sandra: what did she say? >> is she said they tried, it was laughable on a say cuddly -- she said they tried by bringing to the police and on day one and it did not do anything, the students came back and it's only involving them. she put a midnight deadline on last night and they blew past that and they're trying to negotiate with these children. and that's what they are, they are children. they don't understand the situation in the middle east, israel is not the oppressor here, hamas is. everything that has happened in the middle east since october 7th is a direct result of hamas terrorist attack and the indiscriminate butchering of woman, children and babies. and the fact that you have these 18-year-old, 19 -year-olds was parents are paying upwards of $90,000 just send them to this institution, it is at stayner on american democracy. >> sandra: did you talk to her -- did you call for

>> sandra: did you call for her to resign to her face and what did she say if you did? >> we sent a letter to her. we had a discussion with her. i did not say it to her face. i did reiterate my call on the campus grounds, though. >> sandra: why not say it to her, if you believe it? >> we are trying to get a sense -- i do believe in it but we are trying to get a sense from her as to what it is there trying to do. i made very clear that there needs to be consequences for what is happening here. ultimately she should resign, period. there is no question of that. i made that clear on the steps of columbia university. >> sandra: see where this goes next? >> we are seeing a situation where there is no consequences to these young kids that are protesting, and they are not protesting against policy. they are engaged in anti-semitism, and it needs to

be stopped. we need to pass legislation in congress, including the anti-semitism awareness act, and to stop anti-semitism on college campuses immediately. >> sandra: it is just incredible, the number of students we have spoken to on this program at our program this afternoon that go to school there that don't feel safe, they can't walk through the campus without receiving threats to their face. this, you know, drastic action is going to have to take place eventually if this continues, and i know that you are questioning whether or not this is the president to take that. thank you very much for joining us. >> as you can hear behind me, we have some folks engaged in these protests. what they don't seem to understand is anti-zionism is, in fact, anti-semitism. >> sandra: we hear you, congressman. thank you for joining us. our coverage will continue. i'm sandra smith. thanks for joining us. ♪ ♪ >> judge jeanine: hello, everyone. i'm judge jeanine pirro alon
