Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to fox friends. Lawrence what does he need to be great . He decent what does he need to be great . Ainsley have to use the word great. Word decent. Steve have to go across the stein and Ask Colin Joest about that. At least 4 People Killed, including an infant as deadly tornadoes have ripped through the state of oklahoma. The trail of devastation on the ground were going to take you there. Brian plus, the antiisrael protests on College Campus show no signs of slowing down. 900 protesters are arrested. Ainsley good sign for former President Trump as he widens his lead against biden in a brand new poll. Lawrence fox friends starts right now. And, remember, mornings are better with the friends. Ainsley and the gang is back together. Steve look at that twister, a fox weather alert. A massive tornado ripped through texas. Just one of half dozen across that state. Continue raging across the midwest and the south as well. Ainsley thats right. It comes as more than 120 tornadoes plowed through six states in just two days. At least four people were killed. The producers are saying that all happened in oklahoma. Including an infant in oklahoma as well. Officials say at least 100 others were injured. Lawrence more than 4 Million People are still under tornado watch and 47 million are at risk for Severe Weather this morning. Brian all right, poised to tell us the latest. Janice dean from our fox Weather Forecast machine. Janice yes. The good news is we dont have any Tornado Watches right now. We had tornado warn storm in the houston area earlier this morning. That has expired. Look april tornado reports just tornadoes not just the hail and the damaging winds but tornadoes 310 reports so far. The average 253. And i will say that this was well forecast. If you remember last week we were telling you its going to be a multiday event. Some of the hardest hit areas. And you can see the National Weather service the Storm Prediction Center knew exactly what was going to happen with the atmosphere. This was a wellforecasted event. You know, we do have loss of life, but i believe, you know, the National Weather service and the Storm Prediction Center and all of the great forecasters across the country really prepared people for this significant event. So, heres the live radar right now. We dont have any watches right now. But we do have a Severe Thunderstorm Warning or seller of them along the gulf coast in and around the houston area. And then we are all looking at dangerous lightning with these and heavy rain that could cause flooding. So today is a little bit of a break. We could still see some Severe Weather. But, as we get into tuesday, and wednesday, some of the same areas that were hit over the weekend, this 3day event are going to be hit again on tuesday and wednesday. So, yet again, another area of low pressure comes out of rockies. We have all of the ingredients we need for a Severe Weather set up. So we have to be prepared for the potential for more of the same. Flash flood threat for the central u. S. Again with some of these storms. We could see the potential for flooding along with the damaging winds and the hail. So theres your Rain Forecast for the plain states. Several inches a short period of time is going to cause some problems. Cold enough for snow across the rockies. Warm ahead the system. So, again, favorable ingredients over the next couple of days for more of the same set up. Here are your forecast highs today. You can see where you have got the warmth across the south. Even manh midatlantic and nort. Bottom line is this is the time of year we see the severe storms. Again, this was a wellforecast setup. The storms didnt come out of nowhere. We knew it was going to happen. I know there was loss of life. But i do think that for the most part we were very well prepared. Steven, ainsley, brian, l. J. Over to you. Steve my Daughter Sally who lives in dallas. Because of all the tornadoes over the weekend, she was planning on going to the Grocery Store between Tornado Watches and warnings and she was able to do that. Janice i wish she had had groceries before. Steve kids. Janice when there is Severe Weather. You really have to Pay Attention to those watches and warnings. Right now, the atmosphere is volatile for severe storms. Even if you dont have a watch or warning. If you have lightning in the area. Thats still going to be very dangerous. Steve indeed. All right, j. D. , thank you. Janice of course. Ainsley a live look at protesters camping out at George Washington university in washington, d. C. Hundreds occupying that campus. They even started tearing down the barricades. And then railing against the Police Presence that well into the Early Morning hours. Brian this is just spreading. The number of arrests on campuses across the country reportedly nearing 900 since last week. This coming as physical altercations between protesters and police erupt at ucla. Usc and texas. I actually saw some at arizona state, too. Steve look at this. This is brand new. This happened this morning at Virginia Tech in blacksburg, virginia. Police were seen removing propalestinian protesters after threatening to arrest anybody who did not leave the school when School Officials say they worry the situation would become unsafe. Apparently it did and a bunch of people got arrested. Lawrence protests spreading beyond College Campuses. New Orleans Police officers say four officers were hurt and 10 were arrested after antiisraeli rally. This is crazy. Brian yeah. Now turning to Columbia University. Right up town, where protests continue for a 13th day. Students now demanding the university divest from companies that do business with israel. Ainsley bryan llenas is at columbia and he joins us now. Bryan . Ainsley and everyone, good morning. Yeah. This is the last day of classes here at Columbia University before final exams begin this friday and all signs point to the university doing everything it can during onongoing negotiations to get this wrapped up and settled by may 150th which is commencement day, Graduation Day at columbia. The university was about to come down hard on the students and namplet. Led to celebrations antiisraeli protesters over the weekend. Despite the criticism that she isnt doing enough to stop these protests or to protect jewish students at columbia president of the school shafik reassured there wont be any lockdowns. She promised it wont allow the nypd to come back on campus and make arrests saying it would be, quote, counter productive. Remember more than 100 Student Demonstrators were arrested at columbia on april 18th, sparking more protests and encampments at Universities Nationwide. There have now been more than 275 arrests on saturday alone at universities total of 900 arrests at Universities Nationwide since this all began some 13 days ago. The Student Protest Organizations here at columbia cuts ties to israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the war. Writing, quote columbia continues to operate as though it does not know what boycott and divest entails. We will not concede our commands for anything less than complete divestment from the genocide of the Palestinian People. Meanwhile the backlash continues over democrat congresswoman ilhan omars comments that she made while visiting her daughter at the antiisrael encampment at columbia for saying that some jewish students are, quote progenocide. Listen. I actually met a lot of jewish students that are in the encampment and i think it is really unfortunate that people dont care about the fact that all jewish kids should be kept safe and that we should not have to tolerate antiantisemitism or bigotry for all jewish students whether they are progenocide or antigenocide. Todd democratic congressman richie tores rebranding proisrael jews as progenocide jews is antisemitic dehumanization at work. Guys, nearby, at Barnard College the University Says it has reached an agreement with the majority of the students that were arrested here back on aprin immediate access back to campus and campus life, guys steve its 6 09 in the morning. Do these demonstrators make noise through the make noise through the night to hack off neighbors. I was near the George Washington university protest and they were very noisy all night long. Yeah. Its a good question. I got here at 4 00 in the morning and, to be honest, the gates were closed. It was quiet. I think the way this university is built the buildings surround the square. So, i think it would be pretty difficult. Look, steve harrigan, who was reporting over the weekend, reported that these protests were pretty quiet compared to what we had seen. We will see if that gets back up again. That statement i read was over the last 12 hours. It doesnt seem like they are going anywhere. In fact, they seem pretty emboldened with the universitys statements over the weekend saying that, look, were not going to bring in nypd and we are continuing our negotiations. Brian thanks, bryan. Appreciate it. 10 minutes after the hour. Lets expand on that. Look at columbia. For the most part why didnt they follow through after thursday . They cleared it out. Then the campus went back. They let it go back. The cons are going to move in again, soon. Not only were they not going to move in again. The president of columbia essentially was censured because thee brought the cops in to grin with. Then they said you got 48 hours to clear out. We will negotiate. What are you negotiating . Are you actually going to pull money out of any investments or israels investments at columbia or your investments in israel at various projects that they do . Is that actually going to happen . You actually think thats going to take place . So what are you saying . But the senate in columbia are actually mad at the president for even bringing the cons once. So after the 48hour time limit comes up to pick up your tents, then they go well, there is really no deadline now. Whats going to end . The encampment is only going to grow and the administration is not upset about it. Ainsley what about the shocking display at harvard. They took down the American Flag and put up the palestinian flag. Brian covered in the new york post. Ainsley shocking display right over the statue of john harvard. Harvard has fall within a picture of it. Lawrence to brians point. All of us have been trying to figure out what the nut jobs want. Jill stein running for president again. She said the demand for the encampments was specifically for the university to divest from boeing which manufacturers munitions and used against the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian People in gaza. Steve right. Lawrence first of all, there is no genocide going on. Two, it is required by law required by law that israel takes the funds that they are given from the United States and invest into Military Contractors and contracts in the United States. They dont have a choice. Number two, i dont understand the divest. Boeing is giving money to universities to pay for colleges and buildings. So, you guys are comfortable with us, the taxpayers paying for it, but you are not comfortable with boeing paying for it. None of their logic is making any type of sense right now. Steve do you know what . Its not just the big Military Contractors. It is also amazon. It is also google that i know vests in and has different resources that is hacking off the students. Why dont those students divest themselves of amazon. Stop ordering bullhorns on amazon or divest yourself from google when you are looking up how to have a peaceful protest. You really want to divest in the school is not going to change. They are not going to divest. Divest yourself from the school. Do you know what is going to stop this . Graduation. People are going to go away and go home. Ainsley protesters are asking for amnesty. If they are arrested or suspended they dont want that on their record because they are going to graduate and then be looking for jobs. Brian sorry. Ainsley John Fetterman made the great point, dont focus on boeing, focus on hamas. They need to get the hostages home and surrender and this will be over. Lawrence to your point, ainsley, also. Its not just the students. You have got the protesters outer there with the students as well. Brian they should be fired. Lawrence exactly. Brian they should be fired. Lawrence professors created a wall around the students. If im the president of a university, you already have to go to online learning. Now you got professors that arent teaching class. Ainsley they are Teaching Activism instead of how to be scholars. Brian they had Bruise Bobbins on who is one of the senior professors over there for 27 years. Is he actually all for this. You know exactly why these students think this. Im spending a lot of time with the encampments. Basically israel is not a democracy because they are outnumbered by arabs in that area and its really a Representative Democracy they would be a minority. He looks at israel the way we look at assad in syria. If you think about this, this is a socalled incident electric actual you pay 75,000 a year to get people like that. And he is backing up the students and he is saying there is no antisemitic behavior there. We have talked to those students, they are getting the barbs when they walk to class to the pointed where the president said its not safe for jews to be on campus. So whats this guy talking about . Ainsley steve, did you see this at the white house Correspondence Dinner . I was watching another network and they had the protesters right in front of the hotel when yall were walking in. Steve we had to walk through them because the police had the bike racks up and down connecticut. Had you to go through them. They were very aggressive and noisy and very well organized. The organization is one of the reasons to your point about the statue of john harvard with they took down the American Flag and put up the palestinian flag, now at harvard you got have an i. D. To get on campus. Senator Mitch Mcconnell was on one of the sunday shows. And talked a little bit about how the universities need to get ahold of whats going on. Watch this. The First Amendment is important. But it doesnt give you the ability to claim there is a fire going on in the theater because it threatens everyone else. What needs to happen, at least, at the beginning, is these University President s need to get control of the situation, allow free speech, and push back against antisemitism. I thought that was largely gone in this country, but we have seen a number of young people who are actually antisemitic. Why dont they all sit down and have a civil conversation rather than trying to come to nate the talk. Brian used to be obvious. Not anymore. Steve i would just like to add one thing about that. And that is to his point about the universities trying to get control of what is going on, at g. W. Now in the fifth day of protest there at the yard, the administration asked the metro police of washington, d. C. Go in and clear out the encampment. And do you know what in the d. C. Metro police rejected the idea because they said, essentially, there would be bad optics of clearing a peaceful protest. So, they are weighing free speech vs. , okay, the administration is saying take them out. And the cops are not going to take them out even though the people who run the show say they got to go. Brian not the story in texas or arizona state. 16 minutes after the hour. Cnn doesnt love. This they barely ran. This but the facts are the facts. Head to head in a poll that just came out. Donald trump, despite the fact that he is stuck in court, is up 6 points over the in the national poll. Now, usually if its 1 or 2. Did you go margin of error. Thats not the margin of error. That shows a trend. Once these trials are already started. We are now in the third week about to start. That is pretty strong numbers that i think that joe biden might have a hard time spinning. Ainsley headtohead matchup 6 points. Lawrence look at 538. Look at just the swing states alone, donald trump is beating joe biden in every state. Arizona he is up by 3. Georgia 6. Michigan 3. North carolina 5. The only two states where its really close, pennsylvania as well as wisconsin. Brian and it will be. Its always going to be thidgesz that voters are saying its the economy. We had a vegan business, not your typical Maga Business that young lady last week was like, listen, i just have to admit under the trump administration, business is better. Right now im
