Mollie Hemingway said that the root of violence in anti-Israel college protests is “teaching falsehoods again about Israel, but also about America.” She also said of UCLA students blocking their Jewish peers from getting to class that it’s “not okay to tell students … they cannot travel in certain places if they’re Jewish,” and it sounds “absurd” to even say it.


Tim Hogan said that President Biden took “the mainstream position” by finally speaking out against the antisemitic college protests, “in contrast to what we’ve seen” from former presidents like Trump, who is not “a king of de-escalation.” He also said of UCLA students attacking school paper journalists, “those people are facing expulsion, suspension, it’s a serious problem.”


Tomi Lahren said that the testimony of former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks in Trump’s New York hush money trial is actually “going to help the former president a lot … Liberal media can’t find a crime.” She also said of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene threatening to oust House Speaker Johnson that “now is not the time for the firing squad against fellow Republicans.”


Juan Williams said that those outside the courtroom of Trump’s untelevised hush money trial rely on the press inside to relay information, and “some things do stand out because it’s lurid. It involves sex and lies ... ” He also said that Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene is not going to succeed in toppling Speaker Johnson if she files a motion to vacate, “but she will get lots of press attention and it will damage the Republican brand.”

 

Jessica Schwalb, a Columbia University student, said that the anti-Israel protests have taken a “very, very scary” turn and the school’s president needs to “start enforcing campus policy.” She also said, “… it’s important for people … to remain on campus and not be pushed out and not reward the scare tactics” of the protesters.


Jonas Du, another Columbia University student, said that the campus protests have been so disruptive that “a lot of students don’t even feel like they go to an Ivy League university anymore,” and it stems from “a lack of leadership from the very beginning.”
