Roland BLASTS CNN's Dana Bash For UNHINGED COMMENTARY On Pro-Palestine Protest CAMPUS CRACKDOWN

I was talking about this commentary that Dana Bash did at CNN which was like unhinged and I'm trying to understand how did one she's a political correspondent two she's a anchor when you listen to this commentary that she gives how did this get past uh standards and practices at CNN I'mma play some of this uh so check this out politics I'm Dana Bash we start with destruction violence and hate on college campuses across the country this was the scene just a short while ago at the University of Wisconsin Madison police clashing with protesters 12 people were arrested thank you asking hours earlier protests rocked the University of Arizona where campus police used chemical irritant Munitions to remove protesters [Music] around the same time at UCLA pro-israel and pro Palestinian groups were attacking each other hurling all kind let me stop right there first of all that's a lie pro-israeli protesters attacked Pro Palestinian the prop Palestinian protesters were defending themselves the video is undeniable they were not attacking each other the prop Palestinian protesters were defending themselves after they were attacked by the pro Israel demonstrators that's called a fact and it shouldn't be confused okay go back to it objects a wood pallet fireworks parking cones even a scooter and before that the NYPD was able to clear Colombia University after protesters barricaded themselves inside a campus Building 300 people were arrested at Columbia and City College of New York see right here so let me show you what they just did there you discussing Colombia saying protesters barricaded themselves now we know that it actually were Outsiders who took over the building 44 at Colombia the rest were at city college here's the difference Colombia is a is a private university it's a closed campus City is a public university it's wide open but when you put the two together oh my God 300 arrest what sounds different 300 at City Colombia and City College or 44 at Colombia and more than 250 at city college but you show video of Colombia okay go ahead but it is unclear how many were actually students New York city mayor Eric Adams warned the this morning that professional outside agitators are getting involved okay let's stop right here so here's a problem when you go on the air when you say it's unclear how many were outside agitators so why are you quoting a number if anybody on my staff says um I think there were 30 people arrested my first response is what do you mean I think what's the number well I read this and it was 18 so where did 30 come from well see what happens when you start asking questions so when you go on the air and you throw something out there and you don't have the actual information then I'm sorry what are you saying because she was very clear what she said 300 protesters at Colombia and they didn't say they were students ah wasn't factual let's go there is a movement to radicalize young people and I'm not going to wait until it's done and all of a sudden acknowledge the existence of it this is a global problem that young people are being influenced by those who are professionals at radicalizing our children and I'm not going to allow that to happen as the mayor of the city of New York okay you mean such as when the NYPD said that there was the wife of a terrorist that was inside one of the buildings at Colombia and then we later found out that wasn't factual gotcha okay many of these protests started peacefully with legitimate questions about the war but in many cases they lost the plot they're calling for a ceasefire well there was a ceasefire on October 6th the day before Hamas terrorists brutally murdered more than a thousand people inside Israel and took hundreds more as hostages this hour I'll speak to an American Israeli family whose son is still held captive by Hamas since that horrifying day that brought us to this moment you don't hear the pro Palestinian protesters talking about that we will now protesting the way the Israeli okay so Dana bass say you don't hear the pro Palestinian protesters talking about the hostages I don't did y'all hear Dana Bash mention the 30,000 Palestinians killed I didn't I I didn't hear that okay he's a liar government the ISE minister is Prosecuting the retaliatory war against Hamas is one thing making Jewish students feel unsafe at their own schools is unacceptable and it is happening way too much right now I'm a UCLA student I deserve to go here we pay tuition this is our school and they're not letting me walk in my class is over there I want to use that entrance well I can't take it will you let me go in this could to be over in a second just let me and my friends go in again okay all right here's the problem with that video did y'all see all of the students just walking around behind them he was just right there just go right the over there I I again I I want people who are watching I need you to pay attention when people post stuff like this there are people just walking behind them and dude is standing there they won't let me go by so you mean to tell me that on this massive campus they have a line that stretches all the way over that not letting you walk by and Dan you you actually use that video like really and you and you have the other students standing right there who all quiet right and if y'all see the frame is shot vertical so you only see about four or five people you don't even see how lot y'all come on now listen to this you just saw is 2024 in Los Angeles hearkening back to the 1930s in Europe and I do not say that lightly okay I'm sorry um she just said that what you saw in Los Angeles hearken back to the 1930s in Europe okay let me go back what happened in Los an she showed one dude who claims that he couldn't go on to his class but other students were Milling all and then okay that's I said the pro-israeli protesters attacked the Palestinian protesters so how are you hearkening back to the 1930s and I don't say it lightly well actually you do say it lightly and y'all this is the problem you're seeing in mainstream media you see the conflating of things you see and then it's like oh the prop Palestinian uh students they lost the plot how and brown brown announced they are going to actually take a vote to divest and they're not going to penalize the students exactly you leave that out that that's literally a fact that's but see again now cuz see y'all gota understand if if if I come across somebody protesting the first thing I'm going to say is why y'all protesting what are the reasons but y'all notice at no point now she mentioned oh the war and got no no no their students have first at Colombia they were protest Tes in the opening of a center in Tel Aviv that Palestinian Palestinian students could not attend that's a fact if you go the original letter they submitted had the details in it oh I'm sorry details that's called being a reporter my bad what was I thinking listen fear among Jews in this country is palpable right now welcome to inside politics I'm Dana Bash we start so again what we're seeing reesi we're seeing media folk create these narratives as opposed to one lean on folks you're on the ground there's a sister at NBC who was on the ground saying I was there what y'all are saying happened I didn't see she's on the ground you're sitting in a studio Joe and Ma in Florida at your house in Florida what the hell are you talking about well I talked to fr know but you're not on the ground and and so what then happens is the media narrative becomes fact folk then run with it say well CNN said MSNBC said as opposed to what actually happened and this to me is a fundamental problem that we're seeing well I don't even think it becomes fact it just further erodes people's trust in the mainstream media this is why the trust in the media is in the pits along with trust in Congress and a number of other institutions because we see propaganda being pushed as though it is news we see narratives being pushed that do not square with the facts with what we can see with our own two eyes and I I mean I don't know if people just have lost their damn minds or if they're just depraved individuals I understand that there's a lot of fear around um Trump being reelected around this potentially hurting President Biden's electoral chances and so oh my God God forbid anybody protest in favor of humanity um because that could hurt the that could hurt the Democrats what about the people getting slaughtered you know what could you know what could help the Democrats doing the right thing you know we could help the Democrats responding to these protests in a manner that honors the humanity of people and decency you know what is escalating these protests escalating the violence every single video that you showed the common denominator was the police with people if you allow people to sleep in their tent sit down s by y have a human chain whatever then they will go on about their business these people are not agitators for the most part you're agitating them to die on the hill of slaughtering children of rounding people up dislocating people forcing migration within a tiny strip of besieged territory that has been cut off of electricity of food of water of resources hospitals bombed all kind of areas desecrated churches mosque everything bombed and you put them into a Slither of land and you carpet bomb them and then you starve them this is what y'all are defending there wasn't a ceasefire on October 6 and I'm not defending in any way shape or form what happened on October 7th I will not defend that I'm not defending having hostages but what's the proportionality here where Palestinian lives come into play how many children have to be slaughtered we're already at at least 14,000 that's not even counting the people that are currently starving to death and so if you cannot see a reason why there's an outcry to stop that why there is an outcry to stop billions of dollars going to Aid in the slaughter of besed helpless people you've lost the plot not these students and they can put up whatever person they want oh these Brady entitled children these w w we have too much emphasis on decorum in this country too much emphasis on trying to win elections instead of pushing our politicians to do the right thing and we have more emphasis on that than we do on watching human Carnage be being broadcast in front of us over and over and over again you've lost the plot if you put put more emphasis on what Brady little children are doing and how they doing it then you do on the fact that the bombing and the slaughter and the starvation the famine and the and the and and just the Carnage needs to stop period yep all right folks uh so um we'll see cuz uh graduation is coming up and so those will be interesting uh uh events ahead can wait wait wait wait can I say one more thing because President Biden said that the protests have led to the cancellation of the graduation no USC canel the graduation because they did not want to give valedictorian who was not who who was Arab or Muslim the ability to give her speech that is what canceled it not agitators y fan base is pioneering a new era of social media for the Creator economy this next generation social media app with over 600,000
