In los angeles, this is americas late news Fox News Night. Breaking tonight, as you can see, new york police still all over Columbia University, confronting antiisrael protesters as the university clearly has failed to enforce its own rules and policies for the past three or sew weeks and have therefore allowed the campus to be seized by far left antiisrael agitators who have in all essence terrorized the campus, smashing windows, vandalizing university spaces, even some reports saying they were holding three Facility Workers against their will. You can see here this is a little earlier, you see police going into Hamilton Hall. That is a hall that they seized and now we are being told that Hamilton Hall is clear. But meantime all the jewish students still being told to stay away and most of the buildings remain on lock down. A University Wide shelter in place has been sent out and we should note that some of the protesters have actually moved away from columbia moving maybe or so blocks to the City College Of New York. But at columbia, there have been dozens. Theres no number yet but at least dozens, may be more than 100 arrests and Alexis Mcadams is live at columbia, shes been there all night. Alexis, it has been quite the night for you. What do you know . Reporter hello trace. We can tell you the nypd just told us moments ago theyve cleared the encampment that was set up for days right in the middle of Columbia Universitys campus with all those tents, the pro gaza solidarity encampment. You can see the cops over my shoulder. This happens as weve also heard from the nypd that they made dozens of arrests, clearing the protesters out of Hamilton Hall where theyve been since last night after the broken, smashing through the glass with those hammers, and calling on the university to follow their demands. Will the university gave them a deadline, that past, they gave another ultimatum, that past, so what happened . The nypd had to move and into the job. The campus is covered in Police Presence. You can see right here in front of us. They have riot gear on and they are ready also to respond in case any of these protests in the area get Out Of Control. We saw those cops moving right through the windows. Why was that . We are told because the students at Hamilton Hall had it so heavily barricaded with furniture that they could not even get in, so thats what the nypd had to do, take charge and make those arrests immediately. Trace its interesting because i know youve been on scene and Walking Around, weve been watching you tonight. Its exceptional work and great coverage. I want to know if you have seen as you have move through, because we can hear the chanting in the background, have you seen any kind of scuffles at all with police in this vicinity . Reporter a little bit. Around 9 00, when there were so many officers moving in, they were coming in in large shifts. The protesters were getting upset about that, trying to block. You could see that got these Metal Blockades in here but they were trying to actually block the police from moving in with their bodies too. As they were doing that the cops were like you guys need to break it up but it did not get too out of hand. But you can still hear the chanting. 11 00 oclock and counting, you think they would be a little tired but they are not. And so they are out here with their umbrellas as it continues to rain and the nypd is try to move them out too because they dont want any more people around this campus. The university is asking the police to stay with a heavy Police Presence until graduation because they dont want to give these Student Protesters another chance to set up more tents because every time they give them a little bit, an inch, they take a mile. They werent afraid, im told, of president minouche shafik. They said what threat, we did not get in trouble. The only time you get in trouble is when the nypd moves in. They handcuffed them, they will book them but they will be out in a matter of hours. Trace and they have been empty threats. We will get back to you as the news warrants, thank you, great coverage. Lets bring in columbia student along with former member of Israel Special operations counterterrorism unit and Tv Personality and activist, thank you for coming on. I want to bring you in first because we are looking at the live pictures here and you are kind of our ambassador since you go to columbia, you can give us kind of a lay of the land. Its interesting because alexis and all the media was kind of pushed back. They say the encampment has now been cleared of all the protesters and so has Hamilton Hall but from where we are looking right here, if you look at that screen, how far is the actual encampment away . I know its in front of the library but about how far is the library from where we are looking at right here . Not far at all. First of all thank you for having me. Its an unbelievable situation that weve found ourselves in but it is unfortunately the direct result of six months of a complete lack of leadership from Columbia University and of course the fault of these pro Hamas Proterra protesters that weve seen at columbia. So what we are seeing now, Hamilton Hall is not far at all from the lawn where the encampment is. It takes about 45 seconds to one minute to get there. This is all in front of butler library. Since no one has been allowed on campus, obviously we have not been able to see the footage, however there are several dorms, Freshman Dorms primarily, that are overlooking the lawn and Hamilton Hall. Weve been seeing on social media, your group chance, a bit of footage but really thats it. Trace would there be students in those Freshman Dorms right now . I know they told a lot of the jewish students to go back. Theres a reason you are here in california and not back at columbia. Would there be some students in the Freshman Dorms right now . Absolutely. I think what is so terrifying is that last night, even though campus was locked down, we saw unaffiliated masked individuals climbing through open windows in those door buildings. There are jewish students that live there that have jewish identifying objects on their doors, israeli flags, things like that. And so these protesters pose a serious imminent danger not only to those jewish students but to all the students living there. Trace when you heard that your classmates and others, we are not saying these are all students, some agitators there, but your classmates had taken over Hamilton Hall and they had taken over the encampment and the consequences seemed to be few and far between, a lot of threats, a lot of redlines from columbia but very few followthrough is, what were you thinking as this process kind of , as alexis was saying, ebden flowed . Clearly we were on the flow side of it tonight. Thats exactly the issue. Columbia has conditioned its students, myself included, to believe that there will be no consequences, that they do not follow through on the words, that they do not follow through with action. And so to be honest it did not come as a complete surprise that protesters were able to it away with vandalizing a building, to holding several Facility Members in that building, one for longer than others, but really what we are seeing is a complete abdication of leadership until tonight really. Columbia absolutely failed to keep its students safe and no one wants nypd on campus. No one wants to feel like there is a Police Presence, but unfortunately columbia and these pro terrorism Student Protesters and nonaffiliated protesters have put us in this situation. Trace eat and mention safety so i want to put your safety had on for us. Its interesting of as we have seen, we dont have account yet, but there were at least dozens. We saw the busses, the busloads the look protesters being led away, some of them had plastic wrapped around their hands and so forth and so on but we dont know the exact number. It was a lot. It could be more than 100, it could be less. We dont know but when they take them up and take them away and we know as eden and alexis pointed out, they will be out in a flash, is that a Safety Concern . In an atmosphere like this, should they be held a little longer . Will the whole situation is complex. Let me back it up to seeing the Emergency Services unit, those are the guys who physically made entry into the second floor of Hamilton Hall. The reason they did that was because the main entrance was blocked. We call that an unconventional entry. Entry. You can see the swat team with weapons, mindful about student safety. Nypd is fantastic at this kind of thing. As far as the amount of students, i would suspect over 100 they took into custody. There will probably be no teeth on those laws. We havent crossed into the antiterrorism or breaking the antiterrorism law space. The reason why is because they are calling these protesters protesters even though they are inciting Violent Antisemitic Pro hamas propaganda. There are a lot of red flags, had this not been connected to these riots which have been popping up sub systematically. A couple of years ago you would not have seen the Antiterrorism Act being thrown into their faces. Theres no teeth, they get back out onto the street. You have to put the hammer on this like President Trump said when he was talking to sean which is you have to put these threats down immediately because of the danger of the incitement, which is the optic that we are looking at, that im seeing this as an israeli counterterrorism guy which is what does the incitement lead to . This is just new york. We are talking about texas, florida, toronto, california, ucla. But israel stands with the nypd. Israel stands with u. S. Law enforcement around the country and israel will be sharing any information that we can on the intelligent side to be able to provide any type of diffusion through that intelligence osmosis to try to figure out the genesis of this. But what this comes down to in my opinion, nypd was fed up, it had it up to here with these kids and i think this isnt just threats to the Jewish Community, i think this is if i was to profile this through my lens, we are looking at an antiamerican uprising here that has hijacked the palestinians and stack them on top of their cause through this marxist just rocked of educational thing thats been cooking for who knows how long, a decade, and Law Enforcement and the leaders, they need to allow Law Enforcement to get in there safely and put every one of these down. It only goes up and gets worse. Trace and aaron cohen talks about allowances, emily, and this really was one big allowance. I was talking to eden earlier about the number of redlines they sent down. There were times you have to move, you will be expelled, arrested, you will be this, you will be that. All of these things blue right through and now as we look at this thing, they had to bring the nypd and they are saying they want the nypd presence to be on columbia campus until may 17th at the earliest, so they are going to be there for a while. I think graduation, eden, is the 15th so they are going to be therethrough graduation, emily austin, your thoughts . You hit it nail on the head because whats unfolded the past few days have shown me that this is a student arrogance. These Student Rioters think they are about the law, they think that they are exempt from the consequences, they always play the victim card. They dont feel like they have to follow the Law And Order because, like alexis said, they are being, you know, detained but merely in a few hours they will be released and back to the usual program of promoting terrorism on to campus. But what i find interesting is that these students have no fear of the consequences. Is all the videos that were played earlier of them getting on the bus, being taken away, they were flushing peace signs, they were still screaming, still assaulting the officers and its almost as if they dont fear consequences, so this social me that the war exceeds whats going on in the middle east. It exceeds whats happening in gaza and israel, this is a war on democracy, its a war on capitalism, its a war on Law And Order and its a War On Everything pretty much, their moral compass is so misaligned and they will go as far as they are allowed. The fact that it took the nypd this long to get to campus to protect these jewish students showed them and set the wrong tone, basically telling them we will not intervene in your promotion of terrorism on campus so dont expect this to get worse if the authorities allow it to get worse. I want to update our audience on some of trace the news, these are live images of Columbia University and i want to update now on social media some of the reactions weve gotten. Students for justice in palestine posted on x, if we can put this on the screen, this would be Columbia University has called the cops onto its own students for the second time and two weeks. On the 56th Anniversary of when they last called the police not to campus to arrest over 700 protesting the vietnam war and Harlem Gentrification On April 30th of 1968. Eden yadegar, you look at this and think they are trying to flip the narrative, trying to play the victim, play the martyr in this thing. Like listen we were doing nothing but peaceful. No, you broke into a university building, you had some violent tendencies, you were putting up flags, you were antisemitic and you were forcing jewish students to stay away from their campus while you took control of the campus. Absolutely. I think it is disgraceful that these protesters are aligning themselves and conflating themselves with an Antiwar Movement when they are promoting more and promoting violence against not just jewish students anymore but across campus. Many of my nonjewish friends also dont feel safe on campus because this is no longer just a jewish issue, this is an American Issue and it is deeply antiamerican and antidemocratic the fact that these protesters are no longer even calling for a ceasefire but calling for a intifada, violent uprising against israelis, oling for the destruction of the israeli state, they are conflating themselves with an Antiwar Movement when they are absolutely not antiwar and not pro peace like they claim to be trace do you think, eden, that these students know from where they speak . Do you think they know what they are talking about . Weve interviewed them, we will play in a bit, but we were out there today asking questions and they had a response which is i dont believe that narrative when any question was asked. But if you ask deeper questions, they have no idea what they are talking about. Do you believe this was just, you know, one of those fashionable things to do . I think thats a big part of it. But look, its been six months. Ignorance is no longer an excuse to promote violence, to be antisemitic, to be racist, because that is the essence of what it means to be antisemitic, its absolutely racism against jewish people and so i dont think ignorance is an excuse. I think that a lot of these students are actually not alien tensioned. I dont think that they may be all realize that they are calling for genocide, but when i as a jewish person tell them that that is what they are promoting and they refused to listen and refused to here me, i cant continue to excuse it. Trace its interesting, you talk about safety, aaron, and as we keep looking live at Columbia University, we talked about the fact this is happening in florida, texas, arizona, california, the list goes on, but now at ucla we just got an update, ucla is starting to bring down the hammer a little bit. Ucla was every bit as lenient, at least by our gage, as columbia was, really not doing enough to be able to control these antisemitic antiisrael things that were happening on campus over the past couple of weeks. The ucla update is, they are saying for nonucla affiliates, be aware your presence on campus as a nonaffiliate engaged in an encampment violates the law, constitutes criminal behavior subject to misdemeanor charges, going on to say, any sign or flag must be smaller than 30 by 30 inches and on a poll shorter than 18 inches. No masking or camping is allowed it is a crime willfully. Who are performing their official duties and nonucla persons are notified to leave the encampment and depart the campus immediately. A couple of things, the no masking. Its been a Big Point Of Contention for a lot of people around the country because they are Wearing Masks because they do not want to be identified and its one of those things like hey, we are just following up on covid. No you are not. What are your thought
