operation and police operation is underway the clear violent agitators from the campus of columbia university will any of these criminals be held accountable, we know what law is joining us now with the latest on the operation former nypd inspector and fox news contributor paul and fox news contributor fbi special agent nicole parker. paul we will get to you a second but paul we haven't spoken to you tonight let's get your take we watched as the police were entering hamilton hall this is been occupied for 22 hours a little after 12:00 midnight students took over the whole now the police had moved in going 1 by 1 into a window understanding 's gone out 1 by 1 he gives me a little bit of hope that they aren't facing hostility when they get inside it's not been a confrontation we have heard of we hope that continues it's a very dangerous law enforcement operation by any definition. >> a dangerous situation is the fault of columbia university who allowed to get to this point why she doesn't want order is mind-boggling you accuse students who can't go about their regular lies from day 1 the first thing i noticed about agitators or protests i called them rioters most of them were wearing masks last i checked there was no problem with covid-19 in new york so shielding their faces means they are trying to evade law enforcement trying to evade responsibility they do not want to be seen as a former fbi special agent to the work during covid-19 they are a huge sign you are up to no good so these individuals they don't want to be seen and there's a reason for that they know what they are doing is wrong and need to be held accountable. also how did they get to this point as a former fbi special agent i have seen the fbi put the hammer down heavy on those they choose they want to look into in the investigation i saw summer 2020 is a special agent i saw almost no response to it. they might have gone out but if they in arrested individuals they were let off what you are describing is happening there as quite frankly trump supporters there is a put them down heavy and that was the number 1 priority they have been vocal about it in fbi history witnessed the 9/11 terrorist attacks in new york city 2001 as i never thought i would see the day it would be tolerated in the country with a terrorist organization as is in my opinion that was dead definition of terrorism as i looked in to this i looked at their website has any individual has they fit into this category i recommend you call 1800 call fbi. as an american citizen you have the right to have your voices and concerns heard. your taxpayer dollars go to protect you and this is straight from the doj website so stand with me for a moment as i read. doj under executive won 2250 coordinates the enforcement of title vi under statutes by all agencies that administer federally assisted programs. if columbia university is receiving money they would fall into that category. >> sean: nicole standby we will get back to you with paul standing by here for us i have to imagine we will get an update from alexis in just a minute i have to imagine we need to have cameras surrounding the perimeter around hamilton hall tonight but i have to imagine police probably entered in multiple spots being taken out and put in to these busses with no indication as of yet that there was any confrontation, physical confrontation inside arrests are being made at this hour but still of volatile and hostile environment for them to be working in tonight. how long could you imagine an operation like this taking? >> depend so cooperative the crowd outside is as if they will disperse my understanding they are lying down in front of the busses i'm privy to some of the feeds coming out from protesters using these common newsfeeds they operate off of them 1 thing they are saying is stop lying in front of the busses we can get our comrades out of cuffs faster so that goes to your point earlier they will just get leah straightaway and that points up another debacle embedded in all of this wear is the governor. the governor has law enforcement in new york state in new york state charges with the attorney general another trump obsessed a politician in new york state. it they have the ability to make sure these individuals are charged to the fullest extent they have all been mia in addition to schumer and where's joe joe biden where members of the city council hearing nobody wants to touch this for the same reason the doj won't because this is there party they helped create this monster and they know if you start peeling back the layers as they talked about throughout lawsuit which by the way several were filed as a understand it from fraud class actions right now at least 1 was filed yesterday against columbia for the exact purposes he was talking about to gets safety to have a restraining order and guarantee safety of all students including jewish students but also to find out where the money is coming from and who is organizing this nobody wants to touch it because they don't want to turn it over. >> sean: paul we appreciate you staying with us for the extra hour i'm sure we will need your expertise as the night unfolds. now we go back to columbia university alexis mcadams is live on the ground at columbia where it's now started to rain. what are you seeing. a lot of students being put in to those busses. >> hey, sean so it's been flowing out here just a short time ago we checked in their a lot of students being put on nypd busses facing serious charges but what we found out a short time ago with the media briefing was this hamilton hall area was heavily barricaded with those doors out there yesterday as they were going 1 by 1 right into hamilton hall to try and get those protesters out. then when some did leave they tried to go back in and get the rest this time they don't know how many people are in their so the nypd officers got the call this morning from the university now we need your help now we need you to come in. they don't know who's inside of their we heard from the university they believe there are outside groups involved in it at this time. we also got a statement a short time ago from the university who talked about making the decision after being given an ultimatum to the protesters who said they couldn't -- that they wouldn't do with lesson we will show you what's going on in the ground right here on the upper west side at columbia ceta moving through here and what happens is officers move into the campus pretty quickly and go to hamilton hall not just at the hall but also at the gaza solidarity encampment so we don't know how many arrests the hundreds of cops are moving in and they are prepared to make those arrests. >> sean: as you speak to the students and we played us interview from laura joan -- lawrence jones and 1 thing that stood out is when lawrence asked a student what about the janitor being held hostage and asking fundamental truths not any issue in dispute there is an outright denial of basic facts involved in the case as you spend time on the campus of columbia spending time talking to students you find the same level of denial and didn't ignorance 3. >> and asked about students a short time ago outside at columbia gates why are you here to support palestine free in gaza what you think about the students who pay this money and don't feel safe can get the library to take the tests finals are coming up depends on what answer you will get we try to get more information of who why and what they stand for they don't really want to answer those questions why they are out here and why they are passionate about this or they don't have an answer at all will show you those officers moving into the other side they had an area blocked off for quite a bit with those barricades because they don't want outside groups moving and we heard from the mayor of new york who said who believe that people in the crowd springing in rocks and weapons so chart hard they damaged the right helmet so they don't want to mess around here with the protesters and you wouldn't think why would this be happening at these ivy league universities why did you pick this bullet who said his betts the university of michigan is dumb -- done with them this is is in the school he wanted to go to seeing what happened here he doesn't want to go to the school >> i know you saw number of students and hamilton hall being put onto the busses do you have an estimate by how many being put onto those busses about how many are have been arrested at this point. >> we saw at least a dozen protesters when i tried that we got moved from the busses to the media zone but they were yelling things like free palestine and all these things lester's 1 of those busses right there was at least 3 from fraud them behind us so they plan on loading those busses out and on this side this isn't where most of the activity was short time ago there moving around the barricades are trying to this is amsterdam tons of cops over here as those are the protesters coming from outer areas these are people don't go to the school were trying to give manager what's happening here in with their police matt -- facemasks and police don't know his mission to the crowd so they are ready didn't have enough to deal with they have this to deal with as well. >> alexis you been doing a good job think of your patience standby we'll come back with you throughout the night tonight also the ongoing response from the new york police department will likely result in numerous arrests will any of these violent agitators those who took over hamilton holcomb be university will they be prosecuted aloud with out of jail with narrative no bail that's the pattern which is emerge before your free actions to all of these events unfolding at this hour hoover institution senior fellow who is with us thank you for being with us like most of america you're probably watching in a bit of horror first of all that the students were allowed to get to this point second the anti-semitism on campuses across the country number 3 of the fact israel in many ways has been turned into an aggressor when they themselves were the victims of vicious vile terrorist attack the worst in their history wants your reaction. >> a lot of moral clarity the last few weeks especially tonight i think we have to get rid of them if that you can beat anti- israel and the anti-semitic anti- semitism and anti- israeli -ism is the same now and being for hamas and for palestine that's fused people out there are not just for palestine they are for hamas we need to get rid of the idea these early universities the last few years they dropped the essay the sat because of de i admissions they are not elite universities leave see in this going on because and with the blue campuses is not just they are cowardly they sympathize with it they supervised it i think that the get rid of the paradigm there's a base of radicals in the democratic party and the old establishment they also say it's the us together democratic party and joe biden all of them are simply incapable incapable of criticizing hamas what's going on democrat party is reborn as a radical progressive party something that's not even a cam what it used to be it's on the same page now. >> it's a sad moment when america which should always be a leader of the free world since october 7th as surrender that position in before the as we just look at the history never understood the first iranian deal which was made when obama was president and joe biden was vice president. now joe biden is vice president and immediately by march or 2021 is importing oil from iran he turns a blind eye to sanctions allowing them to get rich hundreds of millions in oil sales money being used to build out their nuclear capability the idea he gives a waiver in the sanctions allowing iraq to give them $10 billion is by most give him 6 billion for a ransom for hostages none of this makes any sense to me because these enriching enriching the number 1 state sponsor of terror not only do they fund proxy wars with thomas in the south with gaza and others in the north in lebanon and rebels out of yemen but now they went the extra step and were acquiring 300 missiles into iran and joe biden's response was don't react take the wind eating to hit with their missiles aren't these actions only emboldening the number 1 state sponsor of terror when radicals see these videos on american campuses and hear from elected american officials what is viral into anti-semitism doesn't that embolden them as well. mimic what we are seeing is it all makes sense now because what you just articulated abroad the reason they feel those things not dealing with them encouraging anti- is realism as an inflection of a domestic policy as well they are indifferent to anti-semitism afraid to call it out the members of the democratic party who are anti-semites and feel that no bail critical leader -- legal erie defund the police all part and parcel of the domestic aspect of this radical jacobin revolutionary agenda we see it now for the first time make it bear without any pretense home as this ideology you are watching right now explains what's going on overseas as well it said the same lady elegy which fuels foreign policy and has to stop because it hurts america abroad and destroying us at home. same thing as what i'm trying to say. >> it's making the world a more dangerous place and in the process we have a new axis of evil witches emerged and an alliance between china and russia and iran as i read is getting closer and closer to nuclear capability that should scare the entire world because that could result in a modern-day holocaust. net we go to a fox news alert with scores of rioters who have been arrested en masse after the nypd moved on to hamilton hall a little over 22 hours ago hamilton hall at the university of columbia was taken over by radical extremists on campus so where does columbia go from here and what does it mean for other similar pro hamas encampments across the country. with reaction we have ted williams and special ops veteran i have to imagine israel has been paying close attention to the rise of anti-semitism on college campuses and the halls of congress and hearing chance of river to the sea. raising a palestinian flag taking down american flags deaf to israel and death to america they have to be alarmed as they are fighting 3 front war with gaza in the south and iran willing to fire weapons from iran that's a scary time for the world. >> israel stands behind the nypd training law enforcement for 20 years this distress will business you see out here right now as far as israel they're focusing on this rate now is there still 5000 terrorists is israel probably going to be looking at this as we don't of kids yelling in gaza right now we have terrorists hungry in the tunnels is a lot of work to be done is it's very difficult the prime minister is spoken to it as a plague a spread as this is the systematic incitement in recruitment of terrorism rhetoric but i think these kids who are completely indoctrinated crossing the line between nypd just got off the phone as the nypd is tired of these kids and for them to finally go and make entry it's time to see this type of action around the country as what happened with universities in red states they don't put up with this so they spoke to at a press conference a couple days ago different mindset when it comes to leadership i comes to escalation and de-escalation you have to get on top of this like president trump said here's another concern as a flags are cracking right now looking at multiple crowd so not only does their special response group calling out saying they were way too aggressive is kaiser trained to the metro unit as there are clouds -- crowds clustering around the operation dangerous in my opinion is of those crowds aware group aggression likes to go whether it's an active shooter or a bomb a lot of moving pieces i feel the stress level bin as high as it is the fatigue of nypd this is dangerous stuff all these crowds need to be looked at a macro picture sure they have a grip on it right now there is love cameras on crowds dangerous as they unfold. >> what's unfolding is dangerous and what's made me sad is these students are ignorant to a level i can't comprehend and that being there was a victim october 7th. the victim was the country of israel why there is not moral clarity and the understanding and need to defeat radical terrorists who attacked israel the same people firing tens of thousands of rockets over the years into israel and end it once and for all the keep their countrymen safe is unbelievable we appreciate your time joining us now as a farmer nypd commissioner with us what we are witnessing tonight you know as well as anybody is a dangerous law enforcement operation seems to be handled perfectly so far having police not able to go for the front door because it's barricaded we saw them go 1 by 1 into the hamilton hall through the windows and taking out according to alexis mcadams on the ground dozens of people i don't think this night isn't anywhere near over for sure. >> i would say it's done extremely well with what was put in to this as it's barricaded so what did the police do they use an elevated platform to go for the window as there is no resistance and no reports of fighting as we might hear that later feather in the cap to the administration here carrying it out. fall is for you. still a product of the conspiracy i feel a nationwide conspiracy in the sense that for students justice in palestine for their organizations not quite as big you don't have that spontaneous reaction comparatively without some sort of coordination in my opinion that's what's going on the fbi should be looking at it as a conspiracy because prime -- crimes are being committed the burglary whether or not that's charged is something else we are in the district attorney territories to be don't know what will happen if what we've seen before happens again summons getting to these individuals they might go 40 high and 50 days. >> this is a very different time in new york from where you are commissioner the likelihood these busloads of students are being arrested being released within hours being arrested previously had their records expunged immediately didn't even need a court appearance this is in the state of new york that you lead the nypd under. >> sean: i think we lost ray kelly let's go to -- as you can see we are watching the nypd going to hamilton hall here with more reaction ted williams is with us is a commissioner a very different time get your reaction to what's a dangerous and difficult operation clearing the hollow hoping to pray and hope things stay safe tonight. >> what you are witnessing is new york's finest law enforcement officers doing what they do best. what we have here for you call them students will lease specifically at hamilton hall here are a bunch of thugs we need to call them what they are, thugs we broke into the building they'll 2 or 3 the custodians in that building for a while hostage false imprisonment these thugs have to be charged and made an example of i'm sick and tired of this crap of them being students on 1 being side on 1 side of the issue or another they went to the building you can see the mentoring in the building they must be charged. he cannot allow these thugs to be out in the community within hours of arrests. when you look at the fact we are a nation of laws and what we found here over the last week is individuals with this certain faction of our society. we cannot, cannot permit that to happen it is happened in 1 instant year but we need to take advantage of this and do better. by the way shown how mosses here mosses here is here in the united states how do these students get the money to do the things they've done there needs to be a complete thorough investigation to how this is happening in our country at this time i don't think they have that that is significant and important. >> ted williams you raise a good point what's happened to america's moral compass think that's a great point ted standby we will get back to you we go back first to alexis mcadams on the ground at columbia all night tonight alexis i have witnessed now a number of nypd busses leaving each time they leave i hear cheering i assume that's coming from other students cheering on the people he took over hamilton hall that are being escorted to police headquarters where i assume they will get released how many busses obesity and leaves you talked about a couple dozen people going onto those busses being arrested tonight. >> asked them a short time ago and they had dozens of arrests. on the first bus according to the source era in the ground 30 people were on the 1 bus as it was pretty dark here stuff out of the way as there are people getting onto the bus no in students being taken at hamilton hall as they're told by the administration and president of the university not just expelled but getting arrested with serious charges getting into the shot here it's not just here hamilton hall where where they will make these arrests also at the gaza solidarity encampment with more than hundred tent set up the other day and they were told if you don't get out of the encampment he will get suspended they did clear some of these out at the university made the decision this morning according to the president and the memo they got sing since early this morning they knew they would call them and so they had time to prepare is not the first time they've gone into campus but 1 thing to point out you saw officers going 1 by 1 into the building through the window why? nypd sources tell me it's because they had the area so barricaded doors blocked windows blocked where they went where they could going up on a ladder you would use for the fire department to get into the windows when they got in they didn't know it was inside either but heavily fortified and barricaded they don't even know how any people were exactly in their it's what 10:30 and counting we don't know how any arrests will happen dozens so far nypd moving hundreds of cops onto that campus. >> sean: it's way too early to the terminal whether or not the police operation has been completely successful without incident or injury but so far it looks as though the operation was well thought out and police have been successful in getting students out of hamilton hall onto busses seemingly without injury or incident we hope that's the final result when all is said and done standby we'll get back to you in a few moments take a look at your screen and here's a video shot moments ago by our very own cameras as he could see agitators arrested moments ago we are told there been dozens of arrests tonight and here with more reaction to what's going on in the situation in new york on the campus of columbia university what is it mean for joe biden's been virtually silent on most of this a former arkansas governor mike huckabee is now with us governors start with you we can only pray this all ends peacefully for everybody involved here officers have a difficult job ahead of them assist began seams arrests of gone as planned we hope that happens whoever we do have other problem set exist here what does this say about a mindset in the country literally supporting radical extremism abroad even on college campuses. what is it say when a rabbi as to tell jewish students to stay home as it's not safe to be there not just columbia it's harvard and yale usc berkeley university of texas all over the country wants your reaction governor? >> it seems police are doing their job but the problem is they will do their job but the das so busy going after donald trump you will have these kids out for milk and doughnuts before midnight unless there is serious consequences lest they are criminally prosecuted unless they are treated like the january 6 defenders they get to spend months in jail before they get a trial day unless those kind of things happen unless they get expelled with their parents are made to pay for damages like what he said about suing them but another thing is don't trump or president you want no else would happen there be federal civil rights charges filed against these people because the state is not going to do anything not the da not any of these people they have their own agenda but the federal government could be doing something charging for civil rights violation of jewish students in every parent of columbia paying $90,000 yearly to send their darling to this school fullest nuts they need to get their kids home get their money back file a class-action suit on behalf of all parents and alumni for the disgraceful way columbia university has dripped into the toilet will. >> sean: you raise a lot of good points charlie let me go to you as we watched in the summer of love in 2020574 official riots around the country dozens of dead americans cops pelted with bricks or rocks and bottles and molotov cocktails thousands of injured policed officers a lot of property damage but fixation on 1 insurrection and riot january 6th all the videotape here available to go after those responsible for the riding in summer 2020 which shows clear double standard when earlier this began at columbia some students were arrested and immediately released and their records were expunged so seems like they have been quite about insurrection unless it involves donald trump and it's sad because i would argue any riot anytime anyplace is wrong now we learn they withheld evidence and ignored 5 people that would've testified donald trump called it the national guard they never interviewed the capital police chief you requested the national guard questions they never went into the coming revealed a 574 riots we are told mostly peaceful will they claim this is peaceful tonight are they going to say it's okay for students to take over an entire holiday university the way they took it over violently last night? >> of these were trump supporters shutting down an american campus or republican voters who were behaving like this hectoring students as this will be wiped clean immediately the fbi would be on the sea and everybody would be arrested and put into jail i think probably the most important thing that we will remember from history we look at this time is the degree to which democrats joe biden all the way down to a rogue local prosecutors have taken the justice department taken the system of justice and used it as a political weapon go after their political enemies a course in this case democrats made a deal with the devil they are desperate to get these loudmouths and punks is they are no real pickle they don't know what to do obviously they should be charged just as the way we all said should happen for january 6 anybody trespassing charge my trespassing they went so far beyond and charged with the other stuff which there was no evidence whatsoever as the other thing i would like to say is columbia university is a massive endowment tax-free they created the situation they allowed this to happen i can only imagine what this operation is costing the taxpayers of new york city out columbia university will be forced to pay for every dime of overtime of personnel and of every cost they are having to spend for this should come right out of columbia's endowment. >> such a good point and how many taxpayer dollars the fair timed at say that the last time i checked governor huckabee had some $37 million in endowment money wire taxpayer dollars going to the institutions as i don't want to get too political tonight is them hoping a peaceful end to what is been a difficult night for the nypd having to clear the hollow of a my first prayer and the idea taxpayers footing the bill for these institutions of higher learning and american taxpayers or footing the bill and you're adding to student loan forgiveness carpenters electricians and nurses those who paid at their own way for school funding universities which actually fostered an environment where extremist like this can exist to make it made a good point about endowments and hope they have been drained to nothing by the time lawsuits are finished and people sue these institutions for the matter in which they did not protect the students there for an education i hope also there is a real understanding about the message they were talking about demanding you to vest from any dealings with israel would start here he would have a cell phone if not for technology developed in israel so all of those students are they willing to give up their cell phones seedless watermelons tomato grapes, irrigation for agriculture and about a thousand other things developed in israel because if you are serious about the vesting you are going to be living in virtually the land of the flintstones when you can live in the land of the jetsons because these young kids don't have a clue when it comes to israel which is a very free and innovative and extraordinary native this nation they should be saluting and thanking god for rather than demanding it should be annihilated. >> charlie as we watch this in full we have no idea how many more students might be inside dozens arrested so far difficult police operation thankfully so far according to reports we have been a peaceful effort by nypd extracting students who have taken over the whole we hope it ends that way for the benefit of all sides but it's unknown as it's an ongoing effort what exactly is going on there. >> and you make a good point about not wind to make this political but of course this is happening in an election year the blame for this lies not just at the feet of politicians currently but going back years empowering these universities to do what they do and miss educate generation of students praising the craziness you get from these idiot on the street interviews with these morons but the thing we can take away the fact this is happening in an election year and joe biden is to blame for. >> and my fear of thing you mention this is going on at a time when joe biden as were broke breaking the law as you pointed out plumbers and carpenters. >> i mean it's a great election year bumper sticker right you are paying for this all of these scenes we see on tv tonight last couple weeks it's not going away either we will be seeing this for months donald trump can just say again and again thanks to joe biden you are paying for every bit of the only appreciate both of you thank you and we check back in this sara carter with the latest on all of the pro- hamas and riots around the country what's happening there as we look at this they spent a lot of time talking to the students at columbia with semi is to me an amazing a lot of people as well is when you ask them important questions like why are you here what are you protesting and what you stand for fox news had an interview 2 girls about why they were here is because we go to columbia that we hear they need help nyu great what'd they do? >> i don't know really and she asked her friend what did they do why we hear we. >> i don't know. there's a lot of that but also within those groups you find people know damn well what they are doing the organizers and agitators often part of these movements some of these students are followers some of them what are they you buying into a viral into anti-semitism. >> absolutely 100% percent we seen the rise of anti-semitism in the united states we spoke about that at a hearing is talked about that over and over again concerns he has said fbi has had with threats against students and jewish students faculty feeling threatened the can't go to school i've interviewed them as said all last week intervene people and what we call the pro- palestine pro- hamas side of things really can't answer proper questions what does it mean from the river to the sea. what is it mean exactly they don't want to answer the questions have also asked directly some faculty members with dr but these organizations years with protest route campuses across the united states do you believe hamas is a terrorist organization and they refuse to answer those questions they fuse this refuse to answer whether hamas is a terrorist organization yet nicole parker ted williams law enforcement officials on the show tonight stressing the concerns about rise of terror within the united states terrorism and terrorist organizations many of these groups were the big concerns i hear is finding supervisors -- some pfizer's records looking to join these extremist organizations i talked to jewish students who say look we want campuses to do is have oversight over the organizations here protesting and threatening us and like i said earlier some of these jewish students have been told to go back to germany get back in another and i can't even believe what i am hearing what i'm hearing in our modern day and age that people are actually saying this openly without hesitation some sing it reminds him of when they read books in history of the 1930s and who's gonna speak up for them. they're asking president biden there to address the nation and put a stop to this he has not done that we've seen the failure of college campuses and of leadership to do the same and the big concern is tomorrow may 1st a lot of flyers and posts on social media asking them to join anti- israel and jewish protests some of the jewish students are calling it you hate protests and i think law enforcement, federal law enforcement state and local are concerned about what could happen tomorrow. >> thank you you to stop on the screen the columbia president said these students were taken over hamilton hall were a clear and present danger to the university we might have some good news here let's go back to alexis mcadams live on the ground outside columbia my understanding is you might be hearing police have security for success lee cleared hamilton hall is that true? remake we will try to reconnect with her will get back to that with the weight latest arrests that seems very possible we let you know the minute we know. before we go back to alexis a former inspector in contributor in the former fbi special agent nicole parker i will start with you dozens and dozens of arrests made by the nypd find the comments of the columbia president a little too late allowing it to get to this point saying it's a clear and present danger to the university we get back to alexis if, in fact, police success lee cleared the building i would say an amazing feat by nypd tonight. as the institutional knowledge is there we've been through this 25 years with the nypd as we consider their wasted resources here trying to bring down crime and quality alike in the city taking a real hip hundreds of cops are there a lot of people don't realize 25 blocks north of this a similar scene took place at the city college in new york on 40th street all these cops are doing this and by the way until your audience make also fit and nyu rate them he got ucla the new got yale and you've got colleges all around the country doing this. >> and the president of columbia asked them to stay at columbia through may 17th because she is concerned about commencement which i believe is may 15th so next few weeks we live all those cops up there never a mat and arrests they need the process and to go with what your guests are talking about regarding terrorist connection is it solid it's not that i is seen but a decade and a half a terrorism work as with a known terrorist convicted in the country reported to the turkey with new relatives of the nuclear family on the sea and there and i just don't think the federal government is looking into this hard because with looking at radicalization i'm not seeing evidence of any operations being taken or anything that that the common communication mechanisms sharing a social media outlets i see the possibilities for radicalization going forward they have been telling us the biggest threat to the country internally is to domesticate violent supremacists which is their version awaits a premises which is been he understood the fret post 9/11 we worked with it taking your foot out the pedal and we see results. >> stay there and nicole we will get to you in a minute alexis mcadams is with us my understanding is the police looks like they have everybody under arrest successfully and might not a removed everybody from hamilton hall but at least at the situation under control is that a fair statement to make because if that's true in the hours we've been on the air in the 48 minutes in our we've been on air that would be an amazing accomplishment. >> that's what we've been told from nypd sources i checked in before this at they told me they cleared all the protesters out and cleared them out of the gaza solidarity encampment but left the tenants there that's the property they left remove mean talking about it right you said it 2 hours or less to move all of it out of here it's because of the force they brought in they had officers on standby closing off the area for several blocks after the university demanded they get out of the get out of hamilton all when the university couldn't do the job the police did it for them so july look at what we're seeing on upper west side at columbia university we can tell you after they called them asking them to go in and clear out the encampment and clear out the hall that's what they did during in 2 hours or less as we wait to get more information from nypd resting dozens of protesters the exact number they will become down at the process center at headquarters as some of them might just be for trespassing as some came back on the campus but they also damaged property seen video smashing through windows and damaged the property there facing serious charges. >> of that's all true in an hour and 52 minutes nypd was able to accomplish this operation spectacular seems so successful stay there get back to you from a law enforcement standpoint it's been a tense night new york arrests seems police of gotten control over that what an amazing feat for them tonight. >> they are the bravest and finest i was a resident of new york city but they have to be allowed to do their jobs if you let them do their jobs and under 2 hours it's over all the states doing that this is a nonissue you go in and say this won't be tolerated or accepted i listen to former president trump on your program i echo everything he said there he speaks of leadership knows what he's talking about and he is exactly rate is time to restore law and order that is what happened with nypd tonight. back the blue they are the true heroes when you let them do their jobs it's over. my question is where is christopher ray i haven't heard a peak from him he continues to testify before congress saying these are the biggest that's where are you. i haven't heard a word from merrick garland -- merrick garland and i haven't heard from president biden it would be done to stop this is a former fbi agent i want to know the full federal government is on this do we want another 9/11 terrorist attack it has to be stop now. >> i shudder to think an operation like this where they go in blind with no radio it's on the other side as they claim for that window less than 2 hours ago able to stabilize and take control the building shudder to think on the downside what could happen it does remind you how difficult and hard the job of the police officer is in a law enforcement agent is they don't get praise they deserve we appreciate you thank you also joining us now florida congressman mike wells may bring back the professor from harvard from earlier congressman we start with you scary times this night could gone very wrong but in less than 2 hours they professionally cleared the building i'm grateful but most will probably be released before morning. >> sean: we don't have audio of the congressman so standby. professor he should not have ever been able to get to this point having taught at harvard you saw what happened with the american flag taken down the palestinian flag put up at harvard yard i bet that breaks your heart >> absolutely. we have to boot for everyone of of the students. not a single one knows they want a cease-fire. as secretary of state antony blinken said today, the only thing that stands between a cease-fire and the citizens of gaza is hamas. israel offered a generous a bar and hamas turned it down but since i said i wanted to bring a lawsuit against these individuals who have been harassing and threatening jewish students, i've got more than one dozen volunteers -- volunteer lawyers agreeing to bring the lawsuits, but now we need help. we need to know the names of the people who have harassed and threatened jews. i want to students at columbia who know their names to be in touch with me so that we can file lawsuits against them. the one good thing about them being arrested, even if they are freed, we will learn their names and we will sue every one of them and the district attorney can't stop us from doing that. civil suits are within our control, not within the control of the police department, so we have a job to do. i'm on top of it, thank you, lawyers, for calling me and volunteering. now we need the names of the evildoers so they can be held responsible. >> we do have breaking news from the nypd, this is just breaking, the encampment has been cleared, hamilton hall has been cleared and secured. no total number of arrests at this point. the only thing left is tends to be cleared by the university. they have successfully and under two hours been able to clear hamilton hall, make all of these arrests. no violence, no injuries and that is a best case scenario. congressman, we lost your audio, we only have about 30 seconds for you and i hate to do this, i wish we could have you longer, we will have you back tomorrow. >> just real quick, real-world consequences here. hamas believes it can win by turning world opinion against israel and as blinken and biden are trying to negotiate the release of five americans right now that are held hostage, hamas believes time is on their side because they look at this, they look at other campuses, they look at biden pandering to his left, why should they negotiate if they believe time is on their side? you don't hear a peep from the students about "the 5" americans in a tunnel right now held hostage by hamas. and end all the other israelis. congressman, thank you. praise to all the brave law enforcement that successfully did this and under two hours. that's all the time we have left the seasoning. stay tuned for continuing coverage. trace gallagher is next. >> trace: good evening as we continue our breaking news coverage, i'm trace gallagher, 11:00 pm on the east coast
