Hope youre having a good one. I am maria bartiromo, it is 8 a. M. On the button on the east coast. Antiisrael protesters crashing the white house Correspondents Dinner over the weekend, they crashed the red carpet. Saturday night. Celebrities getting mobbed on their way in. Hundreds of protesters chanting against joe biden outside the washington, d. C. Hilton hotel. Listen. Shame on you shame on you shame on you maria more as the president is accused of playing both sides of the protest, i spoke with Alan Dershowitz on sunday morning futures yesterday. Hes most afraid the protesters will become terrorists themselves. Watch this. Its a deep problem at universities today with their diversity, equity and inclusion bureaucracies and intersectionality. They have been teaching antisemitism now for several years x its come to the fore. What im most afraid of, among the people in front of claim university are people who will become terrorists, who will help hamas, who will be part of the fifth column. I represented many dissenters and protesters during the 1960s and 1970s, and and do you know what happened to some of them . Some them turned from advocating terrorism to becoming terrorists. Finish. Maria wow. Liz peek, your reaction. Yeah, thats a pretty stark warning, maria. Maria yeah. And, you know, there are many stark warning, right . The fact that we have this protest movement going across the country its not just students as you and others have pointed out, its now being backed by all kinds of antiamerican groups and funding. Soen one would hope that when all these schools go on summer break, maybe this calms down. To dershowitzs point, maybe it doesnt because maybe now this has become such an organic uprising of antiamerican forces in our own country that it really takes on new life. By the way, i think the democrats have to be very concerned that theyre going to see a lot of this at their convention in chicago. Chris mentioned earlier, you know, hollywood put on a big show at that convention and organizing it. Maybe they just wont show it, but i think its going to be pretty hard to hide thousands of people coming out to protest the president. Maria its a good point. What is Stephen Spielberg going to do about that, chris. I think liz is right, theres so much to look for. At the end of the day, mercy e to the wolf is cruelty to the sheep. These people dont understand that. The israelis have been put upon so much. Now kids screaming death to jews . As if that is an acceptable form of protest . And i agree with dershowitzs assessment that were with creating that small pocket that can be radicalized, if you will. And shame on us for not being harsher, stronger and saying protest is acceptable, but outright threatening and outright really calling for murder at its very least, i would say that that is an inappropriate action. Maria meanwhile, cara swisher, journalist, a Columbia University graduate herself, suggests that its, quote, antiamerican to not support young people engaging in these protests. If people, police have arrested more than 2000 antiisrael 200 antiisrael protesters nationwide as they seem seek amnesty e to keep arrests and suspension from following them after school. You have got all these people getting arrested. We know now its not all students, its actually outside agitate thatters. We dont know if theyre being with led by the chinese if communist party, by russia, by george soros organizations, but some of them are not actual students. And here you have cara swisher saying we have to support these people protesting, its antiamerican not to. What . The. [laughter] we were talking about spielberg directing this, how about soros . These people coming over the border, this tiktok kind of created from the river to the sea. These people didnt know these issues existed 90 days ago. And, you know, they were just pushing a radical, you know, gender ideology. That was the push. Now thats pushed aside. Now this is the issue of the day. At the end of the day though i am concerned what dershowitz said, were going to see that fringe people thinking theyre being heroic just like these kids getting arrested, look at me, i did it, i checked the box, i was arrested, i did it. Im just like the radicals of the 70s fighting for the put upon. But this is just so misguided. Maria i mean, fighting for what, hamas . Yeah. Exactly. Maria have you heard one word about the fact that hamas is not release leasing those hostages from these people . Its incredible. Killing, murdering babies. No. Look, i think theres no excuse for this. And, by the way, where is with joe biden . Maria thats right. Joe biden made this big show a year ago about the antisemitism program, all agencies of the federal government were being pulled together to combat antisemitism. Joe biden, this is your moment. Stand up, Say Something about these protests because these are no longer protests about the Palestinian People. This is now out and out antijew hatred and antisemitic behavior thats going on, maria. And, by the way, these schools need to do exactly this, they need to set red lines and say this is the kind of speech that we do not accept, this is the kind of behavior that is illegal on our campus, and if you cross that red line, you are, pelled. Expelled. And if youre a foreign student, you are sent home. Maria that is exactly right. All you need is one or two schools to do that, to be tough. Not like texas where you kowtow to public opinion, and everybodys, oh, my gosh, they arrested kids and then theyre let go. No, expel these students and then they actually have to pay a price. If theyre willing to go out and march, they should be willing to pay a price. Maria thats right. Well, i mean, you know, no one else would get away with only of these chants yeah. Maria and yet these antiisrael chants are just looked at and its as protesters. Imagine if you heard those chants about other groups. No, its impossible. Thats exactly right. If it was antigay or antiblack as so many people have said it would be, youd be in jail, honestly. Maria thats right. Hate speech, if you are threatening people or threatening violation, that is a criminal act. Some violence. Some of these people should be arrested, but at least get them out of school because theyre no longer being students. Maria its a great point. We are just Getting Started this hour.

A deadly tornado outbreak killing four people and injuring at least 100 others in oklahoma over the weekend. Multiple, large twisters destroying homes and businesses leaving more than 20,000 residents without power this morning. Joining me now is oklahoma senator markwayne mullin, member of the Senate Armed Services and environment and public works committees. Senator, thank you very much for being here this morning. Youve been on the ground responding to this devastation. Hows the recovery effort going . What can you tell us . Well, what we refer to this, maria, is that this is an oklahoma standard where we all a come together as a community and family. This hit rural oklahoma which means it touched almost everybody yesterday when i was town on the ground, we were in holdenville. And right before i landed, i was told that one of the infants that was killed was actually the niece to my veteran affairs caseworker whos been working for me for 12 years. And so it all hits family. When you looked at sulfur, which is what your pictures are showing right now, thats downtown. That took out an entire town which employs literally hundreds of people down there. One of the main employers which was a Manufacturing Company completely lost their business. There was a bar down there that had over 30 patrons in it, a roof collapsed on em. Its amazing that all but one made it out alive. Its just absolutely heart heartbreaking. This will take, for sulfur, itll take years if they ever totally recover are if that. Maria oh, my goodness. How devastating. And im so sorry to hear about your staff member and the niece of your staff member having perished, an infant, god. We pray for that end pant killee oklahoma tornado. What are your thoughts on well, and this maria how this happened and you dont know even where to begin. What are the next steps for people . Well, in oklahoma were used to doling with tornadoes, and when i say the oklahoma standard, we all come together, we all pray together, we all help together. Yesterday when i was going through there and driving across the area once we got to the damaged spot, we had families, friends, church groups, everybody out there working together cleaning debris. So the first thing, clean up. The second thing, organize between the oklahoma Emergency Management and fema, see which part is federal, see which part is oklahoma and coordinating with our insurance companies. Today were setting up, were setting up, like, a onestop shop in each area that was hit where residents can come together and get supplies but also get the the information, get the paperwork filled out. Were pretty good about this, but at the same time youll see when i was in sulfur yesterday, for instance, there was a group of people that had gathered around a building, and they were just holding hands, bowed their head and just started praying. And it blesses your heart because youre excited that youre from oklahoma. You hate to see this, but i wouldnt want to be any other place when a disaster like this happens. Not only do we work hard, help our friends and neighbors, but we believe in the lord that can help us through this. Maria well, thank god that you have that togetherness. We are all a praying for the community. Thank you. Maria its really devastating here. Senator, thank you for giving us that color, and we send you and the people of oklahoma prayers, for sure. Were praying to god. Thank you. Maria i want to get your take on the other issues of the day. President biden spoke with israeli Prime Minister benjamin net an an ya hue yesterday. He reportedly doubled down on his socalled stance that its iron clad, but he also doubled down on the stance that israel should not enter rafah if out of concern for the roughly 1 million gazans sheltering there. Egypt is offering a truce proposal between israel and hamas and putting a 3week ceasefire and the exchange for of some hostages for palestinian prison prisoners. In order to get the hostages, with we have to release pal inten january prisoners. Secretary of state apt any blinken will be in saudi arabia today before moving on to israel and jordan, senator. What can be done here in terms of in this situation . And President Biden says hes got ironclad support for israel and yet hes telling them not to go into with rafah even though we know thats where the Hamas Terrorists are, rafah. Ironclad support was the way israel supported us us after 9 11. No one told us how to fight the terrorist organizations that came after us. And hamas is a terrorist organization. Theyre using the Palestinian People that live in gaza, that voted hamas as the governing body of gaza, they use are them as human shields. And what people need to be understanding, the only group that can quit the fight, that can stop fighting right now, or that can save the lives of the pal stanley cup kwans in rafah if would be hamas palestinians. All they have to do is lay town their arms. No one, maria, no one would believe that if israel were to lay down their arm, hamas would quit attacking them. Although we all know if hamas would just quit, surrender and give themselves up, the fight ifing would stop literally within minutes. Is so if were going to try to save the lives of those in rafah, then they need to be the putting pressure on hamas to lay down their arms and quit fighting. But thats not what a terrorist organization does. Theyre willing to destroy everybody and everything around them for whatever their idea is that theyre trying to get accomplished. And and so its ridiculous that our president of the United States would be putting pressure on israel at this time of need to do anything but annihilate the individuals that attacked them on october 7th. Maria right. And even as he does that, he doesnt even speak about the hostages being released. Pressure on hamas to release the hostages. The idea that the hostages are going to all be released is, honestly, Wishful Thinking because its the only bargaining chip that hamas has. Maria right. So, yes, they need to release some, and everyone they release is great. But theyre going to continue to use the hostages there for human shields and as a bargaining chip to try to reorganize. When this ceasefire happens, all theyre going to do is reorganize again. If they say, well, how can they do that because theyre all blocked in rafah. No, theyre not. When we started delivering aid through airdrops or through a station on the water, we started seeing the aid packages immediately show up in egypt and on the black market that hamas was selling. So they have ways to get reorganized and get resupplied, and thats all thats going to take place in a ceasefire where they negotiate back and forth on some hostages, but theyre actually wanting the time. All theyre trying to do, all hamas is trying to do through the ceasefire is just get time. Maria yep. Makes a lot of sense. Senator, its great to get your insights on all of that. Thanks very much for being here. And were with praying for the people of oklahoma, senator. Thank you.

What are you expecting from this meeting . Well, i expect that first of all, thank you for having me this morning. What i expect them to say is exactly what theyve been saying for the last several weeks which is they need data that shows they need to cut, and theyre not getting that data. The federal roadway serve is in a fox reserve in a box we havent seen in the last 40plus years. They cannot cut too early, otherwise theyre going to have the debacle of 19801982 happen to them again. Theyve not going to let that happen. So we expect them to say theyre not going to do anything soon, and its possible they dont do anything at all for the next several months.
