Dana campuses erupting in kay cost. Its prompting Police Crackdowns and forcing some schools to go remote for the rest of the semester. Im dana perino. Bill is off. Hi to you, bret. Bret this is americas newsroom. Police in Riot Gear Clearing an impactment at New York University arresting more than 100 protestors there. Take a look. [shouting and chanting] dana police leading students and faculty away in zip ties. We saw similar scenes at campuses across the country. Some protestors chanting antisemitic slogans and threatening their jewish classmates. Bret here is what he said. You condemn the antisemitic protests on College Campuses . I condemn the protests i also condemn those who dont understand whats going on with the palestinians and how they are being should Columbia University resign . President biden i will have to find out more. Bret former education secretary bill bennett is here. Lets go to Alexis Mcadams at Columbia University. Good morning. A wild night at campuses across New York City and across the country. Nyu last night nypd sources arrested 133 people at that nyu protest after they wouldnt get after the campus and kept setting up tents. The police had to go in in riot gear to try to remove the students and faculty Protest Theing after the School Called them and asked for help. Watch. This is the new York City Police department. You have been warned by New York University to leave the area. Please leave the plaza now or you will be arrested for trespass. Protestors lighting flares and chanting in support of the palestinians. Nypd had to use zip ties to cuff the student protestors. They are spreading to more campuses across the country and across the globe from new york to north carolina, michigan and in california. Back out here live at columbia this morning very powerful alumni, the owner of the new England Patriots are pulling money from this university not liking what they are seeing. There is so much hate on this campus. We cant have this intimidation that is filtering through all these colleges and the hate continue to grow and multiply the way it is. Just the other day they removed all these tents at columbia but again this morning they are back up. We counted more than 100 set up there with food and supplies. These students plan on staying there. This comes days after the nypd cleared the campus and arrested more than 100 students on trespassing charges. At this point, if this president cant maintain the peace, she has to be eliminated and fired and these students have to be expelled. Faculty have to be fired, and we have to consider whether or not this board can take control of whats happening. Take a live look at nyu. A plywood wall going up around the campus eight feet tall. In the same area where they set up the Gaza Encampments calling for their schools to di vest from israel. Back live more calls and growing calls for the president of Columbia University to step down. Well see if the nypd, still on high alert, ends up moving into this campus next. Bret. Dana lets bring in former education secretary bill bennett. Put up a map for everyone to show this is where antiisrael protests are happening at top 50 universities across the country. You can see it on the map. Wondering what your thoughts are and what you think President Biden could and should do at this point. Well, its a Rite Of Passage for a lot of these students and a lot of people are not student. The president should condemn in totally unambiguous terms. He was very wishywashy yesterday. Authority has to be asserted on the campuses. It is not enough for the president s to maintain peace. They need to maintain the order and to assert their authority and say this is a university. We do not do this here. You people are ignorant. Go to the library if you are students enrolled here and read about what happened in the holocaust. Go to the Newspaper Rack and read about what happened on october 7th in israel. Authority is what we need. I was involved in this in the 70s where Boston University they wouldnt let the marines on campus. We had to assert that authority. You are not in charge, we are in charge. Good for bob craft. Thats a good thing to do. These alums to withhold their support but you have to make it plain that the university does not belong to the demonstrators and last thing if i can, i hope that when these demonstrators are arrested they arent just released the next day as seems to be the case. Otherwise you are just running an in and out system. Bret this has essentially shut down columbia. They still had school but it was online, which is pretty amazing. Wall street journal editorial board. The meltdown. This crisis in liberal education has been decades in the making. These schools have sown the intolerance their students are demonstrating by putting identity and left wing politics above the Free Exchange of ideas. Here is another sound bite. I see whats going on in america, what is happening right now. What i went to columbia, it was a place where people listened and empathetic, had compassion. And now, you know, we have professors instead of teaching how to think, they are trying to tell our young people what they should think. Bret it seemed to go from antiisrael to antisemitic pretty quickly. Yeah. It seems to be that way in history, doesnt it . The jewish people keep telling us that. You make a great point. There is a win for the protestors, bret. What you point out the university, columbia has gone remote. You just have to take your classes remote. You cant go on campus. Again the president of that university should say we are open. We are open for business. Anybody who tries to interfere with our students coming on campus will be arrested and hopefully for a long time. You have to decide here who has got the authority, who has the right to do what. And again, education of these people who are students is essential. Go to the library, go to the Newspaper Rack, find out what happened. Find out when eisenhower was reviewing the Concentration Camps and insisted that photos be taken. People said why . He said people will deny this ever happened. The critics said no, no, everyone will know. No, there will come a time when people will forget these. These idiots in the street are forgetting it. We cannot let students who are paying whose parents are paying 66,000 a year for this education to get a miseducation. Dana last question from me do you think its the right thing to do at this point for the current president of columbia to resign . Well yes, either to find whats the word im looking for, the strength to affirm the authority of her office and to say, you know, ive thought about it and look, im the president of the university. We work here, we study here, our students come here, if she cant do that and clear the decks, and clear the yard of those tents, then someone else should step in. Someone who has a clear sense of what needs to be done. Bret thank you very much. Dana thank you so much. Bret im wondering in your old job how you would look at this from the podium, from the presidency, from how this would be handled in different administrations. Dana here is the thing. President biden said we set up a program for that. Last october after october 7th i think october 23rd, the white house put forward a specific antisemitism campus program. It is obviously working very well, isnt it . Not. And yesterday when the president was at the earth day event you cant have him top his speech about the planet with something about this happening right now . Where you have students not fearful and need a safe space because somebody used the wrong pro noun in class and jewish students told to go home and the reels of the semester is on hold because your safety is not insured by the university. And the president of the United States doesnt say im going to speak up on that . He takes a question from the press. If you watch what happened when the reporters shout a question at the president he repeats what they said and then answers it and declines to answer anything further. I think it is not good enough. I think that the students at these universities and the parents, citizens of this country, need to hear from the president and i dont know if you will hear from him today. He will be talking about abortion and ivf. This is an issue that is really needing his attention. Bret it seems like low Hanging Fruit and seems like politically the president , this administration, maybe the campaign is trying to just be careful and in being careful, they are not forcefully addressing what were seeing daytoday. Dana carefulness is not leadership. Bret moving on. Former President Donald Trump back in court for day six of his criminal trial. Testimony will resume this morning but first the judge will hear a request to hold the former president in contempt for violating a gag order. Eric shawn is outside the courthouse this morning. Good morning, eric. Good morning, bret. Prosecutors want donald trump to cut it out. That hearing underway in just under half an hour from now. Well find out if judge merchan does hold the former president in contempt of court. He could be fined. Prosecutors from alvin Braggs Office want the judge to warn the former president he could go to jail for up to 30 days if he does not stop. The former president could be socked with fines up to 10,000 as he has continued to attack witnesses in this case. One example that prosecutors have cited is this truth social post saying quote, as disgraced attorney and Michael Cohen been prosecuted for lying . Only trump people get prosecuted by the judge and these thugs. Michael cohen is the star witness about what the criminal election conspiracy carried out by trump and the National Enquirer publisher to corrupt the 2016 president ial race by helping to suppress news of trumps sex scandals. The former president thought he the checks were for cohens legal work but not to pay off Stormy Daniels to buy her silence. The checks being paid to a lawyer. He is a lawyer, was a lawyer. And also the things he got in trouble for were things that had nothing to do with me. He got in trouble and went to jail and had nothing to do with me. In court trumps Defense Attorney went after cohen saying he is obsessed with trump and cant be trusted. But in response Michael Cohen tells fox news this. That quote, the facts will come out at the time of trial that contradicts the mischaracterizations of me. After the Gag Order Hearing is completed well know if the former president could be fined. The testimony will continue. That from david pecker, the publisher of the National Enquirer who will testify about the socalled catch and kill scheme in order to hide information damaging to the former president. Then witness number two later this week, mcdougal, the former Playboy Playmate who claims she had a ten month affair with the president and paid for her silence by the National Enquirer so voters would not find out about it during the 2016 president ial race. Bret, back to you. Bret we dont have specific timing how long this will take to get this ruling, whatever it is this morning. No, we dont know if the judge will immediately rule on the bench or if he will take it under consideration. He will hear the arguments from both sides, prosecutors citing ten of those truth social posts and comments by the president saying he violated the gag order and should be punished for that. Bret eric, thanks. Dana were waiting for President Biden to hit the Campaign Trail Today and he could get questions about the antiisrael protests on College Campuses. Well monitor that. Plus there is this. It has to stop. We have to focus on the things that matter in this city right now. And what matters in this city are the good people who are just trying to live their lives.

Bret Chicago Police with a new lead in their hunt for the cop killer releasing this Surveillance Footage of a suspect wanted in the murder of police officer. Officials warning the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous. The officer was gunned down and robbed over the weekend on his way home after his shift. Crimestoppers is offering a cash reward up to 10,000 for information leading to an arrest. Dana arizona judge declaring a mistrial in the case of an arizona rancher accused of fatally shooting a migrant on his property near the u. S. mexico border. We talked about this story before. Were live in l. A. And we have more is where the case goes next. The question is will the County Attorney retry the case that had no physical evidence linking kelly to the murder and a single witness, a former drug runner with major holes in his story. After four weeks of testimony the jury deliberated 16 hours before telling the judge they could not reach a verdict. On either the Murder Charge or one count of aggravated assault. I believe we would still be deadlocked and not able to reach a verdict. Is the jury deadlocked and not able to render a unanimous decision on any of the counts . Yes, sir. Prosecutors say the 75yearold rancher saw migrants on his land and grabs a rifle and fires nine shots at two unarmed migrants walking back to mexico killing 48yearold mexican. Kelly tried to cover up the murder by failing to tell Law Enforcement what he did. He has to give you something, he gives you this mysterious shot. Even his wife does not hear. No drugs, guns, struggle, robbery, anything. The events said kelly saw five armed drug runners and he fires shots in the air and immediately reports it to the border patrol. No bullet was ever recovered. They have to prove to you that allen shot this person and they have not done that. The ballistics dont prove it, the witness statements dont prove it, allens own statements dont prove it. The facts on the ground do not prove it. As for the jury. Border towns on tricky. Residents with strong ties with mexico, on the other illegal immigration overwhelming these small towns becoming more violent so you have strong opinions, deadlock no surprise, monday we find out if the County Attorney retries the case. Back to you. Dana thanks for the story. I will win and well win. Up and down the ticket. We have to win the white house. We have to win the senate seat and the down ballot congressional seats. We have to win to get things moving in the right direction. That was Pennsylvania Senate candidate Dave Mccormick. It is primary day for the keystone state.
