>> yes. is a class action -- we are suing on behalf of all the students who've been displaced. we have no issue at all with the peaceful protests that are going on as part of the learning experience, is part of being american. we have no beef at all with them. the issue of course is that extremists have taken over, that hijacked the protest movement back is turned really violent. regard columbia finally stepped in kaplan and the police car got rid of the encampment and we are trying to help you are a part in restoring order to columbia and perhaps other universities throughout the country. >> neil: this is actually filed against columbia university trustees, right? and your arguments is, what, that they failed to protect the students? >> is kind of ironic. it's a breach of contract argument based on their own der policies. we've argued for some time that the whole dea movement has been kind of mutated and the core concept which -- when students pay a return money to go to columbia they said we are going to guarantee your safe from harassment, you got safe spaces to learn the -- isn't going to be violent and know we've learned that there is actually a jewish exception to dea and that's what this lawsuit is about. >> neil: for those wondering what's happening on the west side of your screen -- these are arrest going on at fordham university. not that far from columbia. that is obviously welcome the relevant to you i would imagine if you've taken action to ease these protests for those who go a little bit to four. what are you saying that columbia failed to keep the students to in this case or that jewish students then became targets? and her this one young man who does want to be notified have been forced to online studies and how many of the diversity but what can you tell us? >> sure. jews have been physically pushed off campus by violent protesters so the university allowed -- even some of the students were calling for the specific killing of jews were calling for terrorist attacks on america, they were allowed to stay on campus and jews were told it's not safe. you have to stay away and that's how -- has a huge impact on them, we're going to the finals and we've had students who weren't able to show up to certain finals where you had to be there in person. is mcquigge be disruptive and, of course, -- you can look at other universities, the university of florida in that very differently. the second the protest turned from peaceful do something really ugly, they crack down, no issue at all my columbia decided we are going to appease and appease and appease them and it's the wrong strategy. >> neil: really quickly how many are part of this class action effort?

>> first of all, the good news is the boat just passed in the house. and a bipartisan way. we have been working in a bipartisan way for months to make sure it is clear there is no place for anti-semitism or hate on college campuses come in our communities. there was nothing complicated in my opinion about this vote and we worked together to make sure the country saw it come anti-semitism, hate on college campuses, violence and harassment against jewish students, or frankly against any student is unacceptable. >> neil: there have been a number of critics to this. ironically on the democratic side. jerry nadler among them, new york democrat has said this could kill protected speech, and that it could be a slippery slope, that it is deeply flawed. how do you answer that? >> it isn't. the resolution is crafted in a way that protects obviously the constitutional right to freedom of speech but what we are seeing on these campuses is not freedom of speech. it's a hostagetaking. there are jewish students who simply want to go back to their lives come in and out of classrooms innocently being surrounded by hate and violence and encampments. this is not a question of not being protected under the constitutional right, of course it can, but this is a question whether or or not we accept hate, and we don't. americans need to know congress will speak with clarity and the federal government says with one voice what is anti-semitism and we will not tolerate it. >> i cannot agree more with marc. the bottom line is of course we support free speech but you can't threaten, right, and actually go to other and threatened their lives or spew hate at them in a way that threatens them, and makes it unsafe for them on college campuses. we want all students to be safe and that is the bottom line. this definition has actually been in place that we are codifying today and we just passed out of the house, they have been in place for three administrations now picked for many years it has been accepted as the definition of anti-semitism so this just puts it in place. >> rather than coddling this kind of behavior, we are making it clear. if a decade ago we have established this as our standard we might not have been this kind of hatred. >> neil: but gentlemen, can i ask you, i'm just wondering, may be congressman you first since you are the democrat here, there has been criticism of the presidents that he has not been stronger in support of israel and some of the institutional problems that has been happening on all of these campuses. that he should be more focused on that. that he is bending to voters they be to get him through michigan but losing voters everywhere else. what do you think about it? >> i disagree with that. i have seen him now, the white house came out strongly last week when violence first broke out at columbia. he said it, and again yesterday, there is no place for violence at columbia. i think the white house has been consistent and strong and so has the president on this matter now. i think you can't speak out enough against what is happening on these college campuses and i think it is critical, and democrats and republicans around the country should speak out strongly. >> neil: congressman? >> i would say in just a few hours, the bipartisan group is going to be going to the holocaust museum to make clear that we do stand shoulder to shoulder and that we are standing in solidarity with jewish americans. but i do think the president needs to be very clear. i don't questions people intense, i question their motives. no daylight, we don't accept this on college campuses beard >> neil: understood. good to see you both working together and trying to be the adults in the room. this past 320-91. that will do it here. ♪ ♪ >> greg: hi i'm greg gutfeld along with judge
