00:00 >> Violent mobs are continuing to sweep across America's campuses.

00:07 And these are anti-Jewish mobs, pro-Hamas mobs.

00:13 We have Jewish students on campus who are hearing the kind of threats

00:17 that their great-grandparents heard in Nazi Germany.

00:21 And yet the Biden administration and Democrats

00:23 across the country refuse to act.

00:26 Jewish students have actually been chased

00:30 out of the classroom and off campus.

00:33 And yet university administrators, they cater to the mobs.

00:38 The pro-Hamas terrorists have been out there shutting down classrooms

00:42 and they have canceled classes today at UCLA.

00:46 Commencements have been canceled.

00:48 When you have college university presidents, administrators,

00:53 who put extremism ahead of education, they deserve to lose their jobs.

00:59 So Joe Biden and the National Democrats try

01:00 to downplay this un-American activity.

01:03 It's dangerous and it's wrong.

01:06 We have laws in this country to protect against violence,

01:11 to protect students.

01:12 Students have a right to be protected, Jewish students,

01:14 all students on campus from harassment, from discrimination.

01:19 If not, those colleges should lose their federal funding.

01:23 But Joe Biden would rather waffle than act.

01:27 And why is that?

01:28 Why does he bow down to these pro-Hamas protesters?

01:32 It's because of the election coming up

01:33 and he knows he needs their votes.

01:35 That's absolutely wrong.

01:37 What the president ought to be doing is applying the law,

01:41 returning order to campuses

01:44 and getting students back into the classroom.
