>> Steve: ALL RIGHT. MEANWHILE, MOVING BACK TO OUR TOP STORY. ♪ ANARCHY OVERNIGHT AS ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTS STORM AND OCCUPY AN ACADEMIC BUILDING AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY HERE IN NEW YORK CITY. SCHOOL LEADERS FAILING TO KEEP THE PEACE AT PRO-HAMAS STUDENTS DEFY A DEADLINE TO DISMANTLE THEIR ENCAMPMENTS AT 2:00 YESTERDAY AFTERNOON. DIDN'T DO IT. AND AS ANTI-SEMITIC INCIDENTS ESCALATED, ONE NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN IS CALLING OUT HIS SUPPOSEDLY PROGRESSIVE COLLEAGUES FOR THEIR SILENCE ON THIS. CONGRESSMAN MIKE LAWLER FROM THE GREAT STATE OF NEW YORK JOINS US RIGHT NOW. CONGRESSMAN, GOOD MORNING TO YOU. >> GOOD MORNING, STEVE. THANKS FOR HAVING ME. >> Steve: YOU BET. HAVE YOU INTRODUCED THE ANTI-SEMITISM AWARENESS ACT. WHAT'S THAT GOING TO DO. >> IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO ADOPT THE IRA WORKING DEFINITION OF ANTI-SEMITISM AND ALL OF ITS CONTEMPORARY EXAMPLES FOR THE TITLE 6 DISCRIMINATION ENFORCEMENT CASES. AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING ON THESE CAMPUSES IS A RAPID RISE IN ANTI-SEMITISM. YOU KNOW, BACK IN 1969, FATHER HESITATE PER, THE PRESIDENT OF NOTRE DAME SENT A LETTER TO FACULTY AND STUDENTS IN WHICH I SAID YOU WILL HAVE 15 MINUTES TO CEASE AND DESIST THE FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN YOUR EXPULSION OR ARREST. THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN HERE. THIS ADMINISTRATION, PRESIDENT SHAFIK HAS LOST COMPLETE CONTROL AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. IT'S WHY I HAVE CALLED ON EITHER THE NATIONAL GUARD OR THE NYPD TO STEP IN AT THIS MOMENT BECAUSE IT'S CLEAR THAT SHE CANNOT RESTORE ORDER. SHE CANNOT KEEP THE STUDENTS SAFE THIS IS A TRAVESTY ACROSS THE COUNTRY WE ARE SEEING. RIGHT AS WE APPROACH GRADUATION. THIS IS IMPACTING STUDENTS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY AND IT NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. >> Steve: ABSOLUTELY. ONE OF THE PROVISIONS OF YOUR BILL IS THAT IT WOULD CUT OFF FEDERAL FUNDS TO ANY SCHOOL IF THEY DO NOT ENFORCE IT -- WITH REGARD TO ANTI-SEMITISM. AND IT'S PROBABLY GOING TO PASS BECAUSE YOU HAVE GOT 33 REPUBLICAN CO-SPONSORS. YOU'VE GOT 14 DEMOCRAT CO-SPONSORS BUT JERRY NADLER, THE RANKING MEMBER OF THE HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, YOU WOULD THINK HE WOULD BE ON BOARD. HE SAYS YOUR BILL IS A PIECE OF YOU KNOW WHAT NADLER WAS A CO-SPONSOR OF THIS VERY BILL JUST JUST A FEW CONGRESSES AGO. THE BILL WOULD HAVE DONE THE SAME THING. ADOPT THIS WORKING DEFINITION OF ANTI-SEMITISM SO THAT WE CAN DEFINE IT AND ENFORCE IT. AND THE FACT THAT HE HAS TURNED, YOU KNOW, DONE A 180 HERE IS INSANE. AND WHY? BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE PETRIFIED OF THEIR PROGRESSIVE LEFT BASE, AND SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE ELECTORAL CONSEQUENCES IN NOVEMBER THAT THEY ARE WILLING TO THROW JEWISH STUDENTS UNDER THE BUS. IT'S SHAMEFUL. >> Steve: THAT'S WHY WE HAVEN'T HEARD FROM CHUCK SCHUMER ON THIS. WHERE IS THE PRESIDENT ON THIS HE IS DOING BOTH SIDES THING AGAIN. YOU THINK GIVEN THE FACT YOU THINK THERE IS A BIG PROBLEM BREWING FOR THE DEMOCRATS AT THEIR CONNECTION THIS SUMMER. THIS COULD BE 1968 ALL OVER AGAIN. >> HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF. AND THAT'S WHY I REFERENCED THE 1969 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT OF NOTRE DAME. YOU ARE SEEING THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY SPLINTER. YOU'RE SEEING THIS UNREST ON CAMPUSES. I THINK IN CHICAGO THIS YEAR YOU'RE GOING TO SEE PROTESTS LIKE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. AND THAT'S WHAT THE DEMOCRATS ARE PETRIFIED ABOUT. DONALD TRUMP WON 2016 BY 40,000 VOTES IN THREE STATES. SORRY, 80,000 VOTES IN THREE STATES. HE LOST 2020 BY 40,000 VOTES IN THREE STATES. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS GOING TO BE EXTREMELY CLOSE. AND THAT'S WHY DEMOCRATS ARE PETRIFIED ABOUT MICHIGAN AND MINNESOTA. AND THEIR BASE. WHICH IS FALLING OUT FROM UNDER THEM. >> Steve: BUT YOU KNOW, CONGRESSMAN, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME MODERATE JEWISH DEMOCRATS WHO HAVE GONE UP TO COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY TO SUPPORT THE JEWISH STUDENTS THERE. THEY ARE ON THEIR SIDE. AND MADE IT VERY CLEAR. BUT THEN, RIGHT AFTER THEY SHOWED UP, NEXT THING YOU KNOW YOU HAVE GOT SOME OF THE SUPER PROGRESSIVES GOING IN AND VISITING THE CAMPUSES TO SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH THE PROTESTERS. THEY ARE ON THE OTHER SIDE. >> WELL, IT'S AMAZING. JOSH GOTTHEIMER AND JARED MOSKOWITZ TWO OF MY CLOSEST FRIENDS WENT THERE. THEY WERE TOLD THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO GO INTO THE ENCAMPMENT. AND YET AOC AND ILHAN OMAR WERE ALLOWED TO WALK AMONG THEM. IN PART BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE LIKE THEY DO. THEY SUPPORT HAMAS. IT IS DISGUSTING WHAT HAS HAPPENED WITHIN THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY. IT'S DISGUSTING WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THESE COLLEGE CAMPUSES. THEY ARE PARROTING HAMAS TALKING POINTS. THE POINT IS HAMAS ENDORSED THESE PROTESTS LAST WEEK WHILE SPEAKER JOHNSON AND I WERE STANDING ON THE STEPS OF THE LIBRARY AT COLUMBIA DEMANDING PRESIDENT SHAFIK'S RESIGNATION. >> Steve: HERE IS A THING, CONGRESSMAN. THERE ARE A LOT OF UNIVERSITIES AND WE WERE JUST TALKING TO JONATHAN TURLEY ABOUT THIS. THERE ARE A LOT OF UNIVERSITIES OFFER DEGREE IN ACTIVISM. ESSENTIALLY SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS A CLASS PROJECT, ESSENTIALLY. >> LOOK, YOU HAVE PAID PROFESSIONAL AGITATORS ON THIS CAMPUS RIGHT NOW. ALONG WITH STUDENTS WHO ARE BEING TAUGHT TO PROTEST. AND, LISTEN, YOU ARE ENTITLED TO FREE SPEECH. YOU EVER ENTITLED TO VOICE YOUR OPINION. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO THREATEN OTHER STUDENTS. AND THAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING. AND IT NEEDS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. >> Steve: YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS WE HAVE BEEN TALKING ON THIS PROGRAM FOR A LONG TIME ABOUT HOW SOCIAL MEDIA, THE SOCIAL MEDIA GIANTS ARE COMPLETELY UNREGULATED BY CONGRESS. BUT YOU LOOK AT SOME OF THE DISINFORMATION THAT HAS BEEN SPREAD ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND IT'S LIKE OKAY, ARE THOSE PEOPLE FROM COLUMBIA? ARE THOSE PEOPLE FROM RUSSIA WHO ARE PUTTING THAT STUFF OUT? >> LISTEN, HAMAS IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION THAT USES INNOCENT PALESTINIANS HAS HUMAN SHIELDS. ISRAEL IS NOT THE OPPRESSOR. THEY ARE NOT AN APARTHEID STATE. THEY ARE THE ONLY MULTICULTURAL, MULTI RELIGIOUS, MULTI DEMOCRACY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THEY ARE OUR CLOSEST ALLY. WE NEED TO STAND SHOULDER TO SHOULDER WITH THEM. THESE KIDS, PART EVER THE PARTICIPATION TROPHY GENERATION NEED TO BE TOLD ENOUGH. THAT'S WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN HERE IMMEDIATELY. >> Steve: CONGRESSMAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US FRO
