Seven jurors have now been seated after another contentious date in court, Including A Stern warning from the judge to the former president. And were keeping a close eye on another thing that could impact trump. The United StatesSupreme CourtHearing Arguments that from january 6, defendants who say we will prosecutors overstepped.

Were following the chaos on capitol hill as johnsons Speakership Pens in the balance welcome to our viewers here in the United States and around the world im wolf blitzer, a urine the Situation Room the skis, cnn breaking news, lets begin with the breaking news. The second day of Donald TrumpsHush Money Trial wrapping up just a little while ago. The proceedings gaining momentum today with seven jurors seeded after an afternoon of intense questioning. Cms Kara Scannell has details from just outside the courthouse in new york. Hera give us the latest well, just moments ago, a seventh der with seated in this trial, hes a male, hes a civil litigator. And he said he had some views about trump during his presidency, said likely he didnt agree with him, but he said he could be fair impartial this coming after another full day of Jury Selection, where there are now seven juror seated in this case. Its this like massive sense of gravitas and important because you know that this is history in the making. Dozens more potential jurors filed Into Manhattan courtroom tuesday and six jurors were seated as Jury Selection continued into day two of the first criminal trial of a former president , the seated jurors include an irishman and sales, a female oncology nurse, a corporate male lawyer in english teacher at a charter school, a Software Engineer and an owner of an it business the Jury Selection strategy for both parties taking shape, trump, attorney spending the Afternoon Digging into the social media post of some potential jurors two were struck for cause, one for a social media post referencing trump and quote, lock him up when a prosecutor asked the juror if he Still Believes trump should be locked up. The jury answer for no. Trump was seen craning his neck toward him and flashing a smirk. Judge juan merchan issued a stern warning to trump after he visibly reacted to a jurors answers about a video she posted on social media. He warned trumps lawyer, your client was audibly uttering, i will not have any jurors intimidated in the courtroom that juror was questioned outside the presence of the others about a video she posted on social media showing an outdoor celebration quotes spreading the honking cheer around election day 2020. She said it was a new york celebratory moment. Trumps lawyers suggested she was biased the judge said he believed the juror could be fair and didnt excuse her. Trumps attorney, todd blanche, telling those in the jury pool, quote, its extraordinarily important to President Trump that we know were going to get a fair shake. One juror said he finds trump fascinating because he walks into a room and he sets people off one way or the other. Blend seemed with the response. Another juror said she learned For The First Time tuesday that trump has been charged in three other cases. Prosecutor joshua steinglass, address prospective jurors asieh them to set aside any strong feelings. He asks each to consider if they would be able to look Defendant Trump in the eye and return a guilty verdict if the this is proven beyond a reasonable doubt, trump up here to look at the jurors, tilting his head once or twice as they were answering yes. According to pool reports one juror who was excused after she said she had a scheduling conflict, described her experience to cnn at the same time, you walk into the courtroom and you see it trump setting. Are i had never seen him in person before you see hidden sitting there and its like oh, its just a guy well, so now that there are seven jurors selected out of the initial pool of 96 on thursday morning, 96, new jersey will come in. Theyve already been sworn in. Well start this process all over again going through the 42 questions that are in that questionnaire, then questions by the attorneys, and then theyll strike until we have 12 jurors and a number of alternatives. Wolfe, laura Kara Scannell in new york for us, cara, thank you very much. Lets dig deeper right now on the seven jurors who have now been sworn in our senior legal well, its elie honig is really over here at the magic well, elleithee, what do we know about these jurors . Yeah. Well, for Jury Selection, its a fascinating exercise and its really more than science are trying to read human beings inherently dynamic and unpredictable. But weve learned some really important, i think potentially revealing details about these seven jurors, these jurors will be on the case so far we know for males, three females lets take a quick look at what we have for juror number one. Juror number one will be the foreperson. No magic powers associated with the foreperson. Thats the person who generally communicates on behalf of the jury with the judge and tends to lead the deliberations in the room. What jumped out at me this nothing remarkable in the bio, but this is a person who said he watches both fox news and msnbc its an interesting combination. If im trump and i got anyone who watches any fox news, i want a chance that that person is going to go on the jury, but i have to note this in new york, i pick juries in new york, people sometimes confuse fox news with a Local Fox Five and the jury form does not separate those two. So could be that the was actually talking about the local news which theres really not partisan. Lets go to juror number two turn number two isnt yours in new york, you get a lot of medical professionals, lot of hospitals, theyre in my experience, medical professionals tend to be technical. Theyre capable of separating facts from emotion. And the lead want that it really depends and how strong do you feel that your cases based when you get down to the technical elements of it. So youre always going to have nurses, doctors, medical professionals, a Native New Yorker watches cnn. Thats good to see. Juror number three okay. Juror number three. Now this is interesting. This is a lawyer and typically the Rule Of Thumb is lawyers dont like lawyers on their juries at the prosecutors office. We almost automatically got rid of any lawyer, but its also hard to do because you do have a lot of lawyers in manhattan the concern is that a lawyer might just take over for the jury. They might say, listen, im a lawyer, forget about the judge. I know whats going to happen here, but its hard to see the jury with no lawyers on it. Interestingly, he does read the wall street journal, which has been quite critical of this particular case in its editorial pages. So juror number three, i think would please me from trumps point of view. Lets go to juror number four. Juror number four is an older man. Hes a businessman, hes a family man. He says he finds trump fascinating and mysterious. That would worry me if i was with the das office. I dont want someone whos enamored with trump or finds any sort of fascination or mystery in him. But again, he doesnt seem to have very Strong Political views for or against donald trump. Lets go ahead. Did number five . Number five is Young African american. This is a teacher, a highly educated woman. She said she does not, did not know that trump is facing charges in other criminal cases. She knows now, teachers are another interesting one, teacher sort of cut both ways because on the one hand, teachers know how to say no, right . They know how to tell their students, know you cant do that. On the other hand, teachers are interested in rehabilitation, giving people a second chance. So as a prosecutor, we were always sort of mixed about teachers. So again, this one i think strikes me as a fair juror. I dont think either sides going to be delighted or overly upset, which are a number five, lets go to juror number six here. Turn number six as a Software Engineer, a young person are recent college grad Software Engineers similar to the oncology nurse, i think this is a person whose profession requires her teube analytical to separate out emotion. And again, usually, prosecutors like that, by the way, gets news from New York Times. I know theres this notion, the New York Times is liberal in new york park. Everyone gets there everyone gets their news from the New York Times. So i dont read too much into that. And now we have juror number seven, not sure if we have a graphic. This just happened. Juror number seven, wolf is another lawyer. A second learn now we have two lawyers, a litigator, a civil litigator. So someone who knows his way around the courtroom. So we have a really interesting jury here. Some of what happened here breaks the normal rules, the normal mold for what you want to do when youre picking a Jury Might Assessment so far is there are certain indicators about these jurors that i would like from trumps sayyed, theres other indicators i would like from the das sayyed, but i have to say i have to hand it to the judge and the parties here. It seems that these seven jurors, based on what we know, are fair and capable of doing exactly what their oath or require them to do, which is the judge this case based on the facts and not based on emotion or politics or elie, i want you to stay with us. I also want to bring in some of our other legal and political experts as well, jimmy gang, gayle, let me start with you. What was your major takeaway from the seven jurors who have now emerged. So first of all, i dont i think we should be surprised that judge merchan has actually seated seven jurors. I know there was talk that this would take weeks and weeks, but he has the reputation of being smart expeenced, even handed, and i s told last week he was going to keep it moving and as ellie knows, each five runs out of strikes and at a certain point, they need to empower people because they dont know whats coming. I thought it was interesting that when donald trump left today, he used the word rushed in his statement that the trial was being rushed. What do we know about donald trump . He is wanting in to delay delay, delay. I think the fact that seven or down so quickly, maybe bothering him on the jurors as elie said, im interested that there are two lawyers on the on the jury, thus far yes are a, lot. Of lawyers in new york. But as you would say, you get concerned, they might influence unduly influence a panel well, if im just surprised that you found seven people so quickly in new york without strong opinions about donald trump, hes been a fixture in new york city, in manhattan, in particular for decades, whether it was in business or politically. And to a person, you know one of the jurors said, well, hes fascinating and mysterious, and other ones said he speaks his mind. I kinda like that but no, no real strong opinions about him one way or another, which in new york, its kind of surprising, or they didnt share or share it. Let me just say that thats seven out of 90 something. So it took a lot to narrow it down, right . You need 12 in the end, six plus signs. Theres still more work that needs to be done on Chris Khardori is with us as well, a former federal prosecutor, juror number four, its interesting, told the court, and im quoting now, truck makes things interesting given that and other things weve heard to trump be fairly happy with these selections, at least so far. I dont know if i would say happy because i agree. I mean, i think this is a solid group of people just based on what theyve described and their occupations and what night, but i agree with ellie. I mean, there are elements of what some of these people disclose including that comment that if youre trump are going to catch your ear and he only needs one of them, right . Hes not gonna get acquitted but if you can its one of them thats a hung jury in a miss trial. That would be good for him or any of these statements le that weve heard from these perspective, jurors, seven of them now, confirm something that prosecutors should worry about. Yeah, i would worry about very much about the person who finds donald trump fascinating and donald trump, whatever anyone may say, donald trump is enormously charismatic i guess charismatic can be positive or negative and that would worry me on kushs exactly the right. This is not going to wind up in a not guilty verdict. You would need to all 12 to say noguilty. What trump is planning for here as a hung jury d peopleave to understand1 one is aung im umps team, i wantcard if someonon tt jury whs an average but ump who finds him fascinating, who finds him charismatic, and that comment would definitely worry me from the prosecutors perspective, there were other jurors who said one of the teacher we talked about said that her friends have negative views of donald trump politically and i would like prosecution would allow that juror to do be seated if as you say, theres potentially a problem there. I would have struck that juror the prosecutor, so im not sure it could be. Theyve got to observe the person. We dont thats the big difference that so maybe there was something in the demeanor, maybe there was something maybe there was something in the way the person said it, right were just seeing this sort of dry transcript fascinating. I mean, what if it was said with an eye roll, i find him always fascinated im all right. I mean, so im not sure and we can always second guess after the fact, but that one would have jumped off the page to me as a strike. Well, what trumps lawyers are looking for as somebody whos strong and independent and if everybodys going one way, this other person could be the holdout for what youre talking abt,hichs e hung jur and its got to be somebody wita backbone yh. And mbe the pern os frndall had strong opinio about dond ump, but she wasnt she wasnt swayed by them one way or anotr, maybe that would be the person i mean, who maybe thats what they were thinking. But youve got to have somebody stro. Two withstand any pressure inside the jury room on because what do you think these jurors whats going through the minds of these jurors right now because were learning a lot, a lot more and more yeah. Okay. Ive have some thoughts about what the jury did. This in here. First of all, i imagine its somewhat surreal, right . To be selected i am wondering if some of them are a little unhappy with the amount of information that is being made public about them. Now this is not the fault of the media when be very clear about this responsibility to guard all of the spirit, very specific information that were learning resides with the das office and with the judge. Im a little surprised that we are learning all of this because i do not think this jury is going to remain anonymous necessarily. If if you keep if they keep this up, youre worried about their safety . Yeah, im worried about their safety. I mean, its up to them if they want to write a book after all, this is said and done, but thats their option. They shouldnt be out of this way. Theyre not supposed to be out of this way because we dont know their names, but we do know a lot of details about the virginia. Right. If you know where someone works, if you have some idea of their neighborhood, it doesnt take a lot in this day and age to pick up the phone, to go through social media and see if you can put together a profile of someone. So i think it is important that as much as possible they need to stay anonymous, as anchorage said, if at the end of the day they want to become public, thats their choice. But at the end of the e, jean carroll case, we all remembered the judge said to the jury if i were you, i would stay nobody knew their names, right . Nobody knew the right. Which is good points, very important points we want these jurors to be safe. Theyre doing important work and they have to be protected no doubt about that. All right. Guys stay with us. We have a lot more to discuss coming up. Well have more on day two of this truly historic criminal trial of a former president of the United States stay with us. Youre in the situation theres new ally in the fight against Climate Change is the carpus is blue carbon. We just need to protect nature will do the rest blue carbon.

Com today going down our top story, the second day of Donald TrumpsHush Money Trial has just ended with seven jurors. Now seated. Lets bring back our legal and political experts in elie honig. Once again, new york prosecutors and trumps legal team were told now they have each have just forced strikes left. Tell us what that means. So those are precious. These are what we call your peremptory strikes, meaning, even if a person gets through the whole filtering process, even if a person does not have a hardship, even if a person does not selfidentify and say, i have too much bias, i need to go thats two ways we get rid of people, even if the judge has said this person is okay in my book, you still have that Gasp Peremptory Challenge as a prosecutor or defense lawyers, they each started with ten, meaning theyve each removed six. And you want to hold onto those. Theres some strategy involved in this. Theres some gamesmanship involved in this. But what youre really looking to do is eliminate the worstcase scenarios especially fm the osutor your site becse as we were just discussing, you just want to gua again that one or two Rogue Manhattan Knights who might be sympathetic to donald trump. Its interesting on kuska, youre a former federal prosecutor. Youve been inlved in Lecting Jurors Er Over Ese years. Somee who may be ging ikes want to stke that person from beming a juror well, i mean, tse are your wildcards. Rigand a loof it comes Dowto Intuitioni thk some of the sorts of things tt ellie walkg about a stray thought, strike coent, dependi on how s sort of described, right . Are they leaning too . To foreign a certain direction . And its too strong feelings on certain issues its its an art, not a science. So you just have to have a gut instinct and if you think this person it looks like its well, yeah, it also trump has jury consultants. Yeah. Right. With him. So they have Background Information on some of the these people they can do research on them, look at their social media posts, things like that. Some of thats coming up during the prosecution has jury consultants. Do they have the same have donald trump who thinks hes smarter than any of the lawyers who the jury consultants. And we heard him today grumbling in court. Hes got to be careful about that, but i bet hes got a lot of input about whos going to be on this jury. Im really curious to what extent donald trump is making these decisions. Yeah, exactly. Legal team is making these decisions because todd blanche was a former colleague of mine at the southern district, tried a bunch of cases as was alvin braggs same thing if im todd blanche, im telling donald trump, mr. President with all due respect, ive done a lot of these and i have a good sense how this works that youve listened to your client, but whos calling the shot . What if they disagree . What if theyre down to their last strike and trump wants to use it, or atlanta doesnt. Thats an interesting dynamic is interesting, jamie, because one of the jurors was dismissed after it was revealed, he wrote lock him up in a social media post about donald trump. But this juror, who claimed he could be fair and unbiased, was still dismissed. Right. So thats pretty obvious if if thats the kind of thing youre saying. And i also think all these social media posts, it says a lot. They are looking in a normal case youre not going through usually jurors, so theres a different level of insight that both sides have. The judge also did manish donald trump and his lawyers today, and i thought that that was interesting that this happened early on judge mark sean is he did this today. I think because he was setting the tone and elegant. Youre not good. I can talk about it more, but i know that he runs a very tight courtroom. But to do it today just he was letting him know. Theres not gonna be any nonce and thats the struggle. I think thatll be so interesting to watch because donald trump, trump has used to being in control of everything and here he is sitting in this courtroom and he is not in control of this courtroom. The judge is in control of this courtroom, and i could see that causing some trouble for donald trump. I mean, hes just not used to being in this position. I agree. I think the judge is making a point of what today its a discipline issue, and i think ive been complimentary, the judge, i think hes done a good job. Hes running efficient fair process. I do have to criticize one thing that he said today though with regard to trumps team digging into social media, youre allowed to do that as long as its publicly available, social media. Thats really important as that juror that we just discussed shows this is a person who said he could be fair and impartial. But was talking about locking up donald trump and the judge said at one point, were not going to be doing this for every juror folks. We got to move on. That to me is a mistake. Thats improper by the judge because they have a right to dig into this. Thats the whole ballgame for Donald Trumps team. And if you need to take a few extra minutes to look into that, thats extraordinarily revealing an important, important point. Indeed, our guys thank you very, very much.

Dr. Sanjay gupta, listen wherever you get your podcast tonight, here in washington, were tracking the growing threat to the House SpeakerMike JohnsonsLeadership Johnson defined after a second House Republican hardliner has now joined the effort to try to oust him. Listen i am not resigning and it is in my view, an absurd notion that someone would bring a vacate motion when we are simply here trying to do our jobs well, lets check in with our chief congressional correspondent, manu raju, is joining us from capitol hill right now. Give us the latest mama. Yeah, its speaker johnson. Isnt a precarious position given that he has a razor thin majority and can only afford to lose one republican vote on any party line measure. And of two publicans vote to oust him. That would mean th hum or relyn democrats to survive in this position, those two republicans, Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor greene are coming after him after a series of deals that he cut it in to keep the government open. But lately, now his new plant and tried to advance billions of dollars in aid to ukraine. That is something that has caused anchored on the right particularly among those two two members. But in talking to republicans up and down the line, it is clear that there is ample anger at those two republicans. And his party. Theres conference was has been badly divided since last falls ouster of Kevin Mccarthy has yet to repair those frayed relations mike johnson is a man, is in probably in the toughest position of anybody in this country right now and hes doing the best he can. I think these folks need to grow up to be honest. Just with you. This is not good leadership. The republican brand suffers because the actions of a handful of people, you election year, having a speaker who cant do the job is really bad. So the alternative is worse and if johnson does indeed have to rely on democrats to save his position, a lot of republicans that we have been speaking to believe youll be in a weakened position, perhaps able to serve out the rest of this year, but uncertain if you will be able to do so in the next congress and wolf, there are some speculation about whether therell be m, several people who could replace them, who are potentially angling for that position. Well see how that plays out as johnson tries to survive this revolt holt, you a lot of ambitious folks up there. But whats in these separate foreign aid bills that now seem to be emerging manu and what comes next . Yeah, the speaker has laid out his strategy to try to advance several of these foreign aid packages as all part of one bill in the senate, remember to about two months ago and 95 billion plan for, you crane, israel, and taiwan, where it was advances in collected dust in the house for two months. Now, he wants to move on. Each of those measures individually, including a separate measure that would include some policy measures, including a ban for tiktok. But heres the catch wolf. Theres an expectation that ultimately this can be rolled together into one big package and pass that house as one big package, sending it over to the senate. And thats what those hardliners are upset about. They dont want to have any more aid going to ukraine. But ultimately johnson, we have to do that to get democratic support, to get this out of the house. Yeah. Good point. Manu raju up on capitol hill. Thank you very much. Lets get some more news, right now. Were following the United StatesSupreme Court. It just heard major Artery Arguments from an accused Capitol Rioter that could potentially impact a special counsels case against donald trump himself cnns Paula Reid Has are report tonight. The Supreme Courts conservative majority appears likely to toss a criminal charge that hundreds of Capital Riders and former President Donald Trump had faced a decision that could deal a significant blow to the Justice Department todays case centers on joseph fischer, a former Pennsylvania PolicePolice Officer, who was charged with multiple federal crimes for his role in the january 6 attack. According to court documents, even texting take Democratic Congress to the gallows and cant vote if they can breathe lol he is challenging a federal law that makes it a crime for anyone who otherwise strokes, influences, or impedes any official proceeding arguing the law passed in 2002 in the wake of the enron Accounting Scandal is not meant to apply to january 6. Rioters Justice Samuel alito pressed fissures lawyer on the meaning of otherwise in that statute, you may be biting hamas more than you can chew by suggesting if, if you are indeed suggesting that the otherwise clause can only be read the way you read he did, chief Justice John Roberts also took issue with prosecutors broadly interpreting a law thats geared toward prohibiting the destruction of records. You cant just tack it on and say look at it as if it standing alone because its not the three liberal justices appearing to favor the governments position with Justice Sonia sotomayor for suggesting the court adopted a plain reading of the law. There is a sign on a theater. You will be kicked out of the theater if you photograph or record the actors or otherwise disrupt the performance if you start yelling i think no one would question that you can be expected to be kicked out under this policy and pushed back on the argument that the statute hasnt been used in response to violent protests in the past pointing out january 6 is unprecedented. Weve never had a situation before where theres been a situation like this with people attempting to stop a proceeding violently so im not sure what a lack of history proves. Former President Trump has also been charged under the same law, though for different conduct. Its unclear what impact this case could have on his prosecution. Yeah. And while its unclear, the impact that that case could have on trumps federal election prosecution. We know that next week the justices will be backed, hear arguments about whether trump has president ial immunity to shield him from the charges in that case. The decisions in both of these matters expected in mid to late june . Yeah. Well, big decision coming out from the us Supreme Court, paula reid. Thank you very much. I want to bring it a credit congressman jason crow of colorado. He sits on the House Foreign Affairs and intelligence committees. Congressman, thanks so much for joining us as someone who like you lived through the attack on the us capitol on january 6 how will you feel if the us Supreme Court tosses out charges for several hundred of these rioters and potentially some charges against trump himself. Well willfully would be a bad day for those of us who lived through that de, but it would be a bad day for the country and democracy, right . Yeah, i i saw firsthand the vial hey, that of course ended up in one Police Officer dead, several of whom have taken their own lives because of the trauma after the riot and the insurrection and of course, 160 others brutally beaten many of whom still have terrible injuries as a result of that. But im also really concerned about the message that it sends to political extremists around the country. We are in an age of rising political extremism thats becoming more violin as months go by. The message of this would send that would be awful and really would undermine our public safety. And as you know, at the same time, a House Speaker johnson is facing the threat of an ouster as he plans to break up foreign aid and pass separate bills for israel and ukraine if it comes to that, would you vote to save johnson . I dont know. We have to see whether it does come to that i what i do know is that the National Security of the United States relies on us passing this Bill Port Ukraine to make sure that were addressing the holistic array of massive threats that our country is facing right now, theres actually a very easy way to, for us to do that. We can vote hope for the Bipartisan Senate bill that passed for 70 votes in the senate and it will go directly to the president. And we could turn that aid back on. And im far less concerned about the Inside Baseball All and who gets to keep their Leadership Position and who gets ousted, then im about the lives that are at stake here. Ive fought in iraq and afghanistan. I know what its like to be on the front lines and a few like youve been forgotten and no ones having your back. I talked today from my office, i zoomed in with a bunch of ukrainian soldiers fighting on the front lines while they were hiding in eir bunknd i n Tellou Tir Morale is very l, so we need to have their backwe need to gethis do. As you know, congreman, there are still a t of Unswer Questns about the details of tse possible plans. Well, would you vote for bill if its structured as a loan, which some republicans are recommended would you accept an israel bill if it doesnt include humanitarian aid for the palestinians in gaza well, first of all, we just have to get the aid to ukraine and theres a way to do that, like i just said, we actually have a bipartisan way to do that. If that if that bill were put on the floor today would pass overwhelmingly if republicans are not willing to do that, then yes, we have to figure out alternatives in figure out what machination of different bills we can actually get over the finish line with respect to humanitarian aid in gaza. I have long said that we cannot Port Military Operations Offensive capabilities, unless we address the humanitarian crisis in gaza right now, theres 1. 1 million palestinians who are on the verge of famine. That is a morally untenable situation. We have to save those lives. We have to get a surge of aid to those folks, but its also a National Security 30 threats. So if the intent of this bill is to address the National Security of the United States. We are certainly are undermining that if we dont meet these very catastrophic humanitarian crises around the worlworlof which gaza as one, sudan has another, and haiti is yet another these are huge, huge decisions.

A source telling cnn us expects a limited, limited israeli strike potentially inside iran. Cnns Anderson Cooper is joining us live from tel aviv right now. Anderson, this reporting comes as israels war cabinet, as you all know, met today for a fifth time. Whats the latest . Yeah they meant for, more than five hours today . No stated resolution from what came out of this the fifth meeting, as you know, there are divisions on that war council competing competing visions of what theyre kind of the timetable of course, is a question. And also what would at any target be, but its really officials we heard from the Chief Of Staff of the army the other day who said that there will be response. The question is when and what sort obviously there are a lot of people waiting with a lot of concern about what is going to happen here and what the iranian response would be if there was a direct attack on iran by israel anderson, does israel still have the support of western nations when it comes to their likely response to iran well, as you know, President Biden had reportedly told netanyahu over the weekend after the unsuccessful iranian attack to essentially take the win that, that israel had and had said that the us would not be supporting any retaliatory strike that has been echoed by a number of european leaders who have certainly urge, publicly urge restraint in terms of just essentially echoing biden saying, take, take the win. Of course it for rhonda. And did respond to any retaliatory strike by israel. There obviously would need to be support from the us and other Coalition Partners in order to to try to strike down some of those iranian missiles.

Wealthy adl has been tracking antisemitism in america for 45 years. And the group tells us its never seen anything like this. They say the upward trend of these incidents started well before october 7, but that the israelhamas war has put the level of vitriol in the on a different plane. Outside of synagogue, a man is arrested for allegedly attacking one congregant and menacing others a with the alien gas, the jews, and spraying this, that smelling gets its the spray that incident in december, part of an alarming spike in antisemitic incidents in the last year documented in a new audit released by the Antidefamation League the adl tract, 8,873 antisemitic incidents in 2023, more than double the previous years record of nearly 3,700. We have never ever seen anything like this keeping in mind that in four out of the past five years, the numbers have reached record highs and yet in 2023, we blew away all previous tallies. And the numbers jumped dramatically in october, which is when the war between hamas and israel began during the same general period yet america has seen a disturbing spike in Islamic Phobic incidents as well. The council on americanislamic relations, care telling us how attacks and harassment against muslims in the have skyrocketed since the israelhamas war started, since october 7, i can tell you at every care office you including our own here in los angeles area. Weve seen a spike of almost four times, three to four times the number of incidents, hate incidents the tension often festering on College Campuses, cares, Los Angeles Branch is condemning a decision by the university of Southern California to council the Graduation Speech of undergraduate valedictorian asna tabassum, who is muslim and holds propalestinian views usc provost says the decision was related to security risks, which he didnt specify.

And in an interview with cnn, she said the university taught her to stand up for her beliefs. I personally dont think its inflammatory and i stand by human rights and i continue to. Thats not something im going to apologize for in recent months, several of them eric is top universities have come under intense scrutiny, often accused of allowing free speech to cross over into hate speech. Its led to the resignation of School President s at places like harvard and pen with that divided with that polarized, we have that hard of a time coming to any kind of middle ground. On any issue. I think a lot of this issue comes from people believing that only their side has a righteous cause. Only their side has anything to offer as a victim in any way College Campuses will begin by again, under scrutiny tomorrow when the president of Columbia University and other School Officials there will testify before a House Committee that is looking into antisemitism on campus, that committee had previously heard from a student at columbia who described attacks on jewish students there the school issued a statement to cnn saying that antisemitism has antithetical to the schools values, and that it is committed to combating it.
