  Here's your host, Alex Garrett. All Right, question of the day once
• 0:09
  again, Why oh why isn't doctor Nematt Cheffique fired yet from Columbia University.
• 0:20
  I last that a little later because I'm pretty sure in this recording she won't
• 0:23
  be fired. There will be news of that as I'm talking to you.
• 0:26
  There's more of a tender of an earthquake being missed on this podcast than there
• 0:30
  is a firing of a president of a university that has now allowed anti Semitism
• 0:35
  to continue to stay on campus. You know, it's amazing. The New
• 0:38
  York Post had a huge white flag at Columbia University saying they have surrendered,
• 0:43
  and they have. They've surrendered to the anarchists at Columbia. I said in
• 0:51
  my blog it pains me to talk about this because Columbia University saved my life.
• 0:58
  At the Presbyterian Columbia University Presbyterian level, speaker Johnson and Nicole Mallia Takis
• 1:04
  will be on Columbia University's campus. We'll be at Columbia University later today to
• 1:11
  try and figure what the hell's going on and see what resolutions can be made.
• 1:19
  But here's what's got me going today again, I have interviews in the
• 1:23
  queue, but I don't feel like talking about that yet because this is on
• 1:26
  my mind front and center. Last night's Yankee game was a nice breather to
• 1:29
  go to and get to see friends again at Yankee Stadium and being my fiance
• 1:34
  and of course follow the Rangers along as they're now too. And now that
• 1:37
  was great. That was a low breather. But then I skimmed through the
• 1:41
  news and I see this. Columbia University has told Fox Business that it's grateful
• 1:48
  for Robert Craft's years of generosity and service after the New England Patriots team owner
• 1:53
  I announced he's pulling financial support to his alma mater over the anti Semitic protests.
• 1:59
  This is by Greg Norman, Fox Business, but when asked to comment
• 2:07
  by Fox Business, a Colombia spokesperson said, this is a time of crisis
• 2:14
  for many members of our community and we are focused on providing the support they
• 2:17
  need while keeping the campus safe. And under that note are tents on the
• 2:24
  campus of Colombia. See the juxtaposition there the paradox. This is a time
• 2:31
  of crisis for many members and we are focused on is keeping the community and
• 2:36
  campus safe letting these tents erupt day in and day out and stay day in
• 2:40
  and day out. Is that campus safety? Columbia University. I said this
• 2:47
  Colombia has gone from the Sea of Colombia, has become coddled because they're coddling
• 2:53
  anti Semitism at this point, because yes they're arresting and suspending, but clearly
• 3:00
  that's not doing enough. So when I see that Robert Craft and then this
• 3:07
  article and then they say they're grateful to mister Craft for years of generosity,
• 3:12
  but this is a time of crisis for members of our community, and we
• 3:15
  are focused on providing the support they need. Campus safe, you don't even
• 3:19
  want Jewish people on campus. You're afraid for their safety, right That's why
• 3:23
  you want them all at home. Instead of fighting for them, fighting for
• 3:27
  the Jewish student body, you tell them to stay home. That's not campus
• 3:31
  safety. That is appeasing the anarchists, the anti Semites on that campus right
• 3:38
  now. And I understand there are Jewish people that are actually in these tents
• 3:45
  with the pro Palestine movement, which I as someone of Jewish descent, I
• 3:50
  feel the need to support the Jewish people instead of support those who want to
• 3:57
  target the Jewish people. That's just my view. So you have these tents
• 4:02
  up, you have Columbia saying, oh, well, we're focused on keeping
• 4:08
  the community safe in campus safe by not having classes the rest of the semester.
• 4:13
  That is weakness. That's not strength. Calling it strength to keep it
• 4:18
  safe, calling it away to keep campus safe, that's cowardly. So Colombia
• 4:25
  is now cowardly and coddling of anti Semitism. And I will not apologize for
• 4:31
  calling what this movement has become and been. I guess since October seven,
• 4:38
  we just didn't realize it. So you know, they really started chanting I
• 4:42
  am Hamas, and you know, why, why do we let that behavior
• 4:46
  on campus? How is that safety? That chant and all the anti Semitic
• 4:56
  from the river to the sea, anti Semitic anecdotes are being allowed to stay
• 5:03
  while the Jewish people are being told to go home. That's not campus safety.
• 5:10
  That's your cowardice, your coddling, and you've just surrendered to the anarchist
• 5:15
  Columbia. And boy boy, I wish Jim Harbaugh was still in Michigan because
• 5:20
  he might have just stepped in there and stopped the fact that they're organizing now
• 5:24
  in Michigan and ten City is an an arbor. The reason, main reason
• 5:30
  for me why this present shouldn't be fired and it's one thirty five as of
• 5:35
  recording, and she's still not fired on Wednesday, April twenty fourth, note
• 5:41
  the time. The reason, the big reason to me is yes, it's
• 5:48
  been a lot on campus, the anti semism, but she's encouraged the spreading
• 5:53
  of it by allowing it to go out on our campus. It's not just
• 5:56
  affecting Columbia, it's all over. And I believe a Jewish person should not
• 6:05
  be afraid to walk the streets in New York or any streets. And yet
• 6:13
  because there are signs saying target these Jewish people next on their campus at Columbia,
• 6:20
  they will have blood on their hands if something happens to Jewish students.
• 6:28
  We need to open up the door again for the Jewish community. And you
• 6:35
  know what campus is when you feel like posting a pro Jewish thing like a
• 6:42
  happy Passover or happy Hanukah, screw off with all kindness, I say screw
• 6:49
  off because they don't need to hear that from you. That's allowed there's rapid
• 6:55
  anti Semitism to spread. It's rapid and continues, and it's too much to
• 7:03
  stop right now. And as I said yesterday President Biden speaking about it,
• 7:08
  where was he years ago when the campuses were being indoctrinated. Where are the
• 7:14
  vetting processes of allowing pro hamas professors to join the ranks of the faculty.
• 7:25
  Why is that allowed? It shouldn't be, It shouldn't be. So you
• 7:38
  know, I actually shook the hand of Robbert Craft on media day years ago,
• 7:43
  but because I had the media passor I want to get a picture him,
• 7:44
  I guess I should have. I got to shake the hand of built
• 7:49
  of Robert Craft, genuine guy. Despite whatever the media says about the spygating
• 7:56
  to flake it, he is a person, is a genuine guy, and
• 8:01
  this is how really is. He's pulling his support for his alma mater now.
• 8:05
  I think he's throwing the gauntlet down for others to do the same,
• 8:09
  and they're just not. The more dollars that Columbia collects, the more they're
• 8:16
  going to enable this. Maybe if the funding does stop, they will wake
• 8:26
  up. It shouldn't take that though. Money should not be the reason why
• 8:31
  the Jewish people should be supported, meaning the donors shouldn't have to pull out
• 8:37
  just to have Columbia wake up. They should already be woken up. They
• 8:43
  should already be woken up because they have invoked fear in their Jewish student body
• 8:50
  and professors and Rabbi Ili who sent that message out the other day to all
• 8:58
  Colombia, basically the Jewish community of Columbia. So they are in fact responsible
• 9:07
  for inciting violence. Well Colombia's not actually saying it. Yeah, well they're
• 9:11
  allowing it. They're allowing the incitement of violence. So they are indeed enabling
• 9:16
  the incitement of violence. When you agree, I'm Alex Garrett. That's my
• 9:24
  update today. Just remember, just remember, by the way, Kraft gave
• 9:33
  fifty million dollars over many years, and while he he sounds regretful, but
• 9:41
  also he's he's done. He's done. Another top donor, by the way,
• 9:56
  billionaire investor in Omega Advisors, Leon Cooperman, was site of by The
• 10:00
  New York Post as saying he would stick with a pause on donations to prestigious
• 10:03
  to this prestigious institution. By the way, they're not really prestigious anymore,
• 10:09
  might view they've lost that title too. And he put this pause shortly after
• 10:16
  the Israel Hamas war began before that's even popped up. But I love that
• 10:24
  the spokesperson in Columbia is trying to gaslight us all. This is a time
• 10:26
  of crisis for many members of our community, and we are focused on providing
• 10:31
  the support they need. I'll keeping on Cambinists safe for who, Columbia University
• 10:37
  for who, because canvas safety should be applicable for the Jewish community, not
• 10:46
  the entitled trust fund probably getting their college tuition paid for a holes. I
• 10:58
  feel like they can just take over the campus. And yes there are professional
• 11:05
  agitators, that is probably true, but there are also students taking part and
• 11:13
  that cannot be lost in this whole debacle. Colombia cowardly and coddling and Craft
• 11:24
  is done.
