1 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,560 Speaker 1: Look, I think it's incredibly unfortunate. You and I are 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,560 Speaker 1: both good friends with President Trump, and we're both good friends. 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: With Elon Musk. 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,119 Speaker 1: They're both extraordinary man. I was in the Oval Office 5 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,520 Speaker 1: with the President when this back and forth began, and 6 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,920 Speaker 1: it's really unfortunate. They are both, I think American heroes. 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 1: They're both incredibly strong leaders. And listen, it's obvious they're 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: both pissed off. Right now. 9 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,440 Speaker 2: You're listening to the forty seven Morning Update with Ben Ferguson. 10 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 3: Good Friday morning. Welcome, it is the forty seven Morning 11 00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 3: Update in my own mind, do we have a show 12 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 3: for you? First? Up, the war between Donald Trump and 13 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,360 Speaker 3: Elon Musk? Is it fair to say both men may 14 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 3: be right in what they're saying. I'm going to break 15 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 3: it all down for you in just a second. Up next, 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,240 Speaker 3: Donald Trump and his administration implement a travel band that's 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 3: long overdue, especially in light of what happened in Colorado. 18 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,520 Speaker 3: So who is affected by it and what countries? All 19 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 3: have that for you as well? And finally, a protester 20 00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 3: at Columbia University has direct ties to a terrorist organization. 21 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,000 Speaker 3: We have the indictment and why the Trump administration is 22 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:08,759 Speaker 3: now going after Columbia getting rid of their taxpayer dollars 23 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 3: that you were sending by the millions. It's the forty 24 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: seven Morning Update and it starts right now. 25 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 2: Story number one. 26 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 3: Well, let's just go ahead and address the elephant in 27 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,320 Speaker 3: the room. There is a back and forth it has 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,639 Speaker 3: taking place by the most powerful man in the world, 29 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 3: the President, Donald J. Trump, and the richest man in 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,279 Speaker 3: the world, Elon Musk. There is a lot to say 31 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 3: about this, but I'm going to actually keep it pretty short. 32 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,479 Speaker 3: And the reason why is this isn't good for any 33 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 3: of our conservative values to have a in infighting at 34 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: this level. This is a gift to the liberals. It 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 3: is a gift to the liberal media. It is a 36 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 3: gift to the left because they're getting exactly what they want. 37 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: They want Elon Musk and Donald Trump to not get along. 38 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: I put out a statement earlier today and I'm going 39 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: to read it to you. Trump is not wrong, Elon 40 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 3: Musk is not wrong. Elon is working under the assumption, unfortunately, 41 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 3: that Congress actually wants to do the job and wants 42 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 3: to save our country. Elon Musk is honestly where my 43 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 3: head would have been twenty years ago. But I've seen 44 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 3: too much of these sausage it's being made. He has 45 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 3: an assumption that it can't be this corrupt, that Congress 46 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: should actually want to work and do its job for 47 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,920 Speaker 3: the American people. That is why Elon Musk is so 48 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: angry about the big, beautiful bill with good reason. Then 49 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 3: there is Donald Trump, who's working under the reality that 50 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 3: these people are absolutely scum in Congress, by the way, 51 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 3: many of them Republicans, and you cannot get anything perfect 52 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 3: pass through the current legislation or legislators that we currently 53 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: have in Washington. Now, Donald Trump understands what it means 54 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 3: to actually drain the swamp. He understands how many swamp 55 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: creatures are still there. He understands how many swamp creatures 56 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 3: are within the Republican Party. And that's why I say 57 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 3: Trump is working under the reality that these people in 58 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 3: Washington are absolute scum, and he knows that he cannot 59 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 3: get a perfect bill pass with this many scumbags in Congress. Now, 60 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 3: let me also talk about the things that Elon Musk 61 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 3: is also, by the way right about. I think we 62 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 3: can all agree that we would love a bill that 63 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: eliminates the entire corrupt irs. We would love a bill 64 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: that gets rid of all the government wasts, fraud and abuse. 65 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: We would love to have some of these agencies completely 66 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 3: gutted and have an administrative state that disappears the way 67 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 3: it's being run if we had that bill. There's also 68 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 3: the other reality, probably wouldn't even get twenty votes in 69 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 3: the House of Representatives because there is so many swamp 70 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: creatures there. Yes, many of them have the R next 71 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 3: to their name. Now, the bill on the floor, Donald 72 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 3: Trump understands is probably about as good as it's going 73 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 3: to get with the current crap that we have in Congress. 74 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 3: Represent the people, and Elon Musk is absolutely right to 75 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 3: be angry about what's in this bill. There are things 76 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,760 Speaker 3: in this bill that I would love to get rid of. 77 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: But I also know that I'd rather have this bill 78 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 3: than have no deal done at all and have taxes 79 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 3: skyrocket and hurt Americans and have liberals in essence win. 80 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,480 Speaker 3: So I go back to what I said a moment ago. 81 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,679 Speaker 3: Elon is not wrong. Donald Trump is also not wrong. 82 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 3: But I want to say this clearly. I do not 83 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 3: believe that Elon is our enemy. I believe that AOC 84 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 3: and the Biden crime family, and the Obama family and 85 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: the Clinton family, and the mainstream media and the corrupt 86 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 3: individuals at PBS and NPR. They are the enemy. Elon 87 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 3: Musk is not the enemy. I think America should forever 88 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 3: be grateful, forever be indebted to Elon Musk for doing 89 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:06,479 Speaker 3: what he did, saving free speech by buying Twitter, exposing 90 00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 3: the corruption in the silencing and censoring of conservatives that 91 00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: were on Twitter, exposing the corruption in social media that 92 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 3: has changed drastically since he bought Twitter and turned it 93 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 3: into X. He risked everything to save free speech in 94 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 3: this country. We now know how big of an impact 95 00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: he's had on free speech. Things that you used to 96 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 3: not be able to say on social media you can 97 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 3: now say again. Things that used to get you kicked 98 00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: off of social media because you were a conservative and 99 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 3: you wanted to expose waste, fraud, abuse, or ask questions 100 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: about a vaccine used to get you silenced. Let's be clear, 101 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: social media would not be what it is right now 102 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 3: if it wasn't for Elon Musk fighting back. There's also 103 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 3: something else that Elon has done that I will forever 104 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 3: be grateful for. He exposed the level of waste fraud 105 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 3: and abuse that we have within our government. This will 106 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 3: pay dividends for years to come, because now the majority 107 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 3: of Americans realize that the government is not working for them, 108 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 3: it is stealing from them and then hooking up their 109 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 3: friends and family members and donors with ridiculous amounts of money. 110 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 3: He also exposed the level of waste in overseas transactions 111 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 3: and just pure corruption. He has shown us exactly how 112 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 3: broken our government is. So I go back to what 113 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 3: I said a moment ago. Elon is not wrong, and 114 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 3: he's also not our enemy. 115 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 4: Now. 116 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 3: The final thing I'll say is this, I genuinely hope 117 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 3: that Donald Trump and Elon Musk can stop having this war. 118 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,479 Speaker 3: I hope that they will go back to talking like 119 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 3: men to one another behind closed doors. I think both 120 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 3: men have done amazing things for this country, and I 121 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 3: think both men are playing into the trap right now 122 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 3: that the left and the liberal media have been wanting 123 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,359 Speaker 3: to happen since day one. Musk is going to go 124 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 3: back to his private life and the work that he's done. 125 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 3: I do not want it to be undone because of 126 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: this war. I also want to be clear Donald Trump 127 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:13,560 Speaker 3: is working under the reality of the situation that Washington 128 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 3: is broken, that there are a lot of scumbag politicians, 129 00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: including Republicans, and you cannot get anything perfect passed through 130 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 3: the current legislators that we have in Washington. So as 131 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,560 Speaker 3: I wrap this point up, I want to say this, 132 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: I am hoping for a very quick reconciliation between these 133 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 3: two brilliant minds. I'm hoping that they can at least 134 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 3: be civil, because a civil war between these two men 135 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 3: only helps the radical left. Next story number two, President 136 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 3: Donald Trump signed a proclamation reinstating a travel band that 137 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 3: restricts entry into the United States for citizens of twelve 138 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 3: countries whine, the president, citing national security concerns. Now the 139 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 3: policy is said to take effect very quickly on June 140 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 3: the ninth. There are twelve countries that are listed, and 141 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 3: the President had this to say about it is he 142 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 3: announced it from the Oval Office. 143 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 5: The recent terror attack in Boulder, Colorado has underscored the 144 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 5: extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of 145 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 5: foreign nationals who are not properly vetted, as well as 146 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 5: those who come here as temporary visitors and overstay their visas. 147 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 5: We don't want them. In the twenty first century, we've 148 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 5: seen one terror attack after another, carried out by foreign 149 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 5: visa overstairs from dangerous places all over the world, and 150 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,400 Speaker 5: thanks to Biden's open door policies, today there are millions 151 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 5: and millions of these illegals who should not be in 152 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 5: our country. In my first term, my powerful travel restrictions 153 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 5: were one of our most successful policies, and they were 154 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 5: a key part of preventing major foreign terror attacks on 155 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 5: American soil. We will not let what happened in Europe 156 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 5: happen to America. That's why on my first day back 157 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 5: in office, I directed these secutive state to perform a 158 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 5: security review of high risk regions and make recommendations for 159 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:11,160 Speaker 5: where restrictions should be imposed. Among the national security threats 160 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 5: their analysis considered are the large scale presence of terrorists, 161 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 5: failure to cooperate on visa security, inability to verify travelers' identities, 162 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 5: inadequate record keeping of criminal histories, and persistently high rates 163 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:32,679 Speaker 5: of illegal visa overstays, and other things. Very simply, we 164 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 5: cannot have open migration from any country where we cannot 165 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 5: safely and reliably vet and screen those who seek to 166 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 5: enter the United States. That is why today I am 167 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 5: signing a new executive order placing travel restrictions on countries 168 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 5: including Yemen, Somalia, Haiti, Libya, and numerous others. The strength 169 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 5: of the restrictions were applying depends on the severity of 170 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 5: the threat post The list subject to revision based on 171 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: whether material improvements are made, and likewise, new countries can 172 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 5: be added as threats everge around the world. But we 173 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,079 Speaker 5: will not allow people to enter our country who wish 174 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 5: to do us harm, and nothing will stop us from 175 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 5: keeping America safe. Thank you very much. 176 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: The President. Going through that list again, Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, 177 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 3: the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, 178 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,400 Speaker 3: and Yemen. There are also partial restrictions on seven different 179 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:42,479 Speaker 3: countries Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turns, Megastan, and Venezuela. 180 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:47,000 Speaker 3: The partial restrictions involve limitations on immigrant and certain non 181 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 3: immigrant visas, but some temporary visas may still be granted 182 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 3: with those quote partial restrictions on the seven countries I 183 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 3: just listed, as President Trump stated, the ban aims to 184 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 3: protect the United States from individuals who may pose threats 185 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 3: to national security, citing concerns over terrorism, inadequate vetting processes, 186 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: and high visa overstay rates in the US. He referenced 187 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,199 Speaker 3: a recent attack in Boulder allegedly perpetrated by an Egyptian 188 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 3: national and a catalyst for the new policy. Now the 189 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 3: administration also pointed to deficiencies and information sharing and an 190 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 3: identity management protocols and effected countries which hinder effective screening 191 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:32,280 Speaker 3: and vetting of travelers. The travel band has already faced criticism. 192 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,239 Speaker 3: Don't worry from the left, as they will do anything 193 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 3: to stand up for illegal immigrants and even those that 194 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 3: are committing atrostes against Americans. It is very clear there's 195 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: two ways of thinking on this issue. The conservative way, 196 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,599 Speaker 3: the Trump way is to protect American citizens, and the 197 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,439 Speaker 3: left is to advocate and protect the illegal immigrants, even 198 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 3: those that are on terrorists watch lists. 199 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 2: And here is story number three. 200 00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 3: The Trump administration is upset right now with many American 201 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 3: universities who are allowing anti Semitism to explode on college campuses. 202 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:12,200 Speaker 3: Colombia is a perfect example of this, where a protester 203 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 3: and self proclaimed Jew hater, we now have learned, had 204 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:20,839 Speaker 3: direct links to Hamas Teracel. This coming from disturbing phone 205 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 3: records as the DOJ is revealing all of this. A 206 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 3: Jew hater quote unquote, who protested against Israel on Columbia 207 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 3: University's campus and contemplated, we now have learned setting a 208 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 3: student on fire allegedly had a direct link to the 209 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:42,880 Speaker 3: Hamas Deadly Al Casombrigade militant group. The post is now 210 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 3: revealing the man is now a wedding trial after being 211 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 3: indicted on three federal hate crimes against Jewish people. He 212 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 3: was a member of a chat group that received regular 213 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,599 Speaker 3: updates from the terrorist organization as well, and the accusation 214 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: is the first evidence of an ador receiving information directly 215 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 3: from Hamas and taking action during protests on the University 216 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 3: of Columbia campus. Now, the individual was twenty. I want 217 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 3: to be clear he was not a Columbia student, but 218 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 3: he was on the campus protesting. He frequently wore the 219 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 3: green headband used by Hamas terrace and boasted to friends 220 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 3: about having relatives overseas who were actually a part of 221 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,560 Speaker 3: the terror group. This all coming from the DOJ court filing. 222 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,080 Speaker 3: While on Columbia's campus during protests in April of last year, 223 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,360 Speaker 3: the individual allegedly Texas pals, saying he lit a flare 224 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 3: and considered lighting someone on fire, but that there was 225 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 3: quote too many people around him to take on otherwise 226 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 3: he would have hurt them. A Columbia University said has 227 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 3: quote no record of the man being on campus and 228 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 3: wanted to quote be clear that this individual is not 229 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,600 Speaker 3: affiliated with our university in anyway. All right, so why 230 00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,439 Speaker 3: did you allow him to protest on your campus? The 231 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 3: university added that the school quote strongly condemns anti Semitism 232 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 3: and violence, and we are horrified by the violence and 233 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 3: hate crimes described in the incident. Well, you can say 234 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 3: that all you want, but the reality is Columbia University 235 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 3: has allowed this hate to grow on its campus, which 236 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 3: brings me to the second part of the story. The 237 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 3: Trump administration is now escalating pressure on Colombia, as the 238 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 3: Education Department is questioning the university's accreditation altogether. Here's more 239 00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 3: of the story from Fox News. 240 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 6: The Trump administration is not backing down as it continues 241 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 6: its crackdown on campus anti semitism. The State Department is 242 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 6: vowing to investigate the visa status of anti Israel protesters 243 00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 6: who were arrested after storming the school. Library this week. 244 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 7: The nature of our promise that people who are in 245 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 7: this country with the visa ante laws or affect the 246 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 7: nature of what's important to our country when it comes 247 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 7: to our foreign policy and national security will be acted 248 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,160 Speaker 7: on in that regard. Yes, he said it, and I 249 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 7: believe them, and that's the word you can take for it. 250 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 6: Congress Woman Elise Stephanic says that schools like Columbia just 251 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 6: aren't paying attention here listen to what she has to say. 252 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 4: And the fact that these universities have allowed that to 253 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 4: perpetuate shows that they have been incapable of showing strong 254 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 4: leadership to allow safety for students, and they've allowed this 255 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 4: anti semitism to continue to rise. The US taxpayers do 256 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 4: not want their dollars to prop up institutions that are 257 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 4: unsafe for Jewish students, and that has been the case 258 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 4: at places like Columbia. 259 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 3: One thing's for sure. The Trump administration isn't screwing around 260 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,240 Speaker 3: with anti semitism on college campuses, and they're going to 261 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 3: make it hurt for universities that refuse to rein it in. 262 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 3: So well done to the Trump administration for doing this. 263 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 3: They're not holding back and they're stopping anti Semitism, especially 264 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 3: when your tax dollars are going to these universities that 265 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 3: have been looking the other way for far too long. 266 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 2: Thank you for listening to the forty seven Morning Update 267 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,160 Speaker 2: with Ben Ferguson.
