Why the Hell is Dr. Shafik Still President of Columbia University? 4-23-24 · OneLegUpAlex Media

  Here's your host, Alex Garrett. Before I get to any more guests on
• 0:11
  this podcast, I have one burning question today for the One leg A podcast.
• 0:17
  Why the hell is doctor Nima Cheffique, who was the twentieth president of
• 0:22
  columb University. Why the hell is she still president? You know, what
• 0:29
  may have started out as free speech, although encampments and zonings, a tear
• 0:33
  is to me an active ah not peaceful, and I want to say an
• 0:39
  active terrorism, but it's an active holding a place hostage. Remember we saw
• 0:45
  in Seattle Chaz that autonomous zone. How horrible that was for the businesses around
• 0:53
  there. So when I saw ten City popping up for cause, that's really
• 1:00
  become anti semitic. When you say you are Hamas, when you say I
• 1:06
  am Hamas, that's not free speech. When you stand there and call for
• 1:11
  the targeting of Jews on a college campus, that's hate speech. That's not
• 1:17
  peaceful protest, that's inciting violence. You know, the left loves to say
• 1:21
  Trump insided violence on January sixth, My god, is this not inciting violence
• 1:26
  against the Jewish community? Is this not anti Semitism? I think it is.
• 1:33
  The Free Palestine movement has become really quite frankly anti Semitic, and the
• 1:38
  fact that it's hit our college campus is to the point where Jewish students and
• 1:42
  all of the students are told to stay home. Why the hell is doctor
• 1:48
  Shaffi still present? As now what she's allowed on this campus has spread through
• 1:55
  other campuses. No, I will not have another guest on until I address
• 2:00
  this because here's the fact of life for me. Columbia University's health system saved
• 2:05
  my life. Okay, Columbia Universities, the University of Medicine and the medical
• 2:12
  hospital attached to Columbia University saved my life. And we just had a great
• 2:16
  nick C event with the few with the doctors that saved my life in the
• 2:23
  seventy seven days I was in the hospital, and when we went through the
• 2:28
  campus of Colombia, it was so beautiful. It was peaceful, it was
• 2:31
  crowded, it was lit up for Christmas time. All that beauty has become
• 2:44
  horror. It's horrific when you see a woman standing there and masked by the
• 2:49
  way saying that Jews should be targeted and here's your next target, terrorists.
• 2:55
  It's terrific when you hear them say I am hamas do they mean, are
• 3:01
  they just saying it for the hell of it? It doesn't matter. It's
• 3:05
  a threat. So for the third time this podcast, because she's not resigned
• 3:10
  yet. How many more donors will it take before doctor Schaffique resigns as president
• 3:20
  of Columbia University? How many donors is Robert Kraft pulling his donations? Not
• 3:28
  enough for the Columbia University board to even push for the resignation. This isn't
• 3:38
  accepting of all views. It's telling one sector of the student body you can't
• 3:45
  come on campus because we're gonna let these others riot, you know, cause
• 3:51
  tyranny, cause chaos. And for any other university president that lets this happened,
• 4:01
  shame on you too. Shame on you for making the Jewish student body
• 4:06
  feel unsafe on a place where they're supposed to learn. Shame on you for
• 4:13
  hiring educators who are promoting Prohamas ideology in the classroom. No, I will
• 4:21
  not have another guest on this podcast till I get this off my chest because
• 4:26
  it's bothering me. Doesn't it bother you? Shouldn't it bother you? Whatevery
• 4:32
  thing of Alec Baldwin. He did not want to say free Palestine. He
• 4:34
  did not want to hear some bull crap from a free Palestine activist. If
• 4:45
  this doesn't bother you, if the targeting of Jewish people alone doesn't bother you,
• 4:53
  then don't even listen to this anymore. You know, don't got pound
• 5:01
  sand is a you know one radio host I know, Keem McCullough would say,
• 5:12
  because at one leg up with Alex Garrett, we will not be silent.
• 5:16
  As the fear for Jewish people grow. That's when the voices become louder
• 5:28
  to shout down that growing fear, say no, you're not gonna intimidate the
• 5:34
  Jewish population, the Jewish student body across all campuses, by the way.
• 5:41
  But for Colombia to be so far left that they're letting this happen, and
• 5:46
  act so far left they're letting this happen where a rabbi has to tell the
• 5:51
  Jewish student body don't come into campus today, stay home, and then for
• 5:58
  the entire campus to be remote. Shouldn't have gotten to that point. Shouldn't
• 6:03
  have gotten to that point. I'm very enraged, and maybe I have to
• 6:12
  yell into the microphone, but I'm not the yelling type. I just know
• 6:15
  that this cannot be acceptable. And yes I applaud Mayor Adams and President Biden
• 6:23
  for calling out this university and the spread of anti Semitism on the campus.
• 6:29
  But where were they a few weeks ago, a few months ago, a
• 6:31
  few years ago, when this was really starting to build up. They are
• 6:39
  acting on it now because it's a headline. But even CuNi Law School,
• 6:45
  right, they had anti had anti Semitic speaker as commencement speaker a couple of
• 6:55
  years ago. Remember that uned system. You know, I graduate from Queens
• 7:00
  and the Helala has always been grateful and by the way great and by the
• 7:04
  way, the hardest part and for me to digest about all this is how
• 7:15
  peaceful the American Jewish community is. Because they don't deserve this. They do
• 7:21
  not want to cause harm to anyone, yet they are being harmed by this.
• 7:30
  It's not right. It's not right that Jewish people want to live their
• 7:33
  life, go about their day without fear. And instead of recognizing that and
• 7:43
  helping them through that, the campus is where they're supposed to get a graduation
• 7:46
  and a degree from are saying we don't care that you're peaceful. We're gonna
• 7:51
  let these anarchists that's the word. I'm going to anarchists take over our campus
• 7:57
  and tell you how bad you are gonna let them say they're Hamas and not
• 8:01
  do anything. Okay, maybe some suspensions here and there, but it's not
• 8:09
  enough. It's not enough. And no far lefties, it's not a military.
• 8:18
  The militarization is not of the NYPD, it's of you supporting what's going
• 8:24
  on, supporting this aggressive behavior against Jewish people. That's the militarization. You
• 8:31
  are militarizing the protesters by supporting the encampments. The NYPD is not militarizing here.
• 8:37
  Let's get that straight. Let's get that right, and let's get that
• 8:41
  straight. And the commenters. My fiance Gaby goes, why do you look
• 8:48
  at this because it burns me up. It fires me up to come to
• 8:50
  this microphone and say, look, the allowance of this to begin with,
• 9:00
  and the hiring of professors to begin with, is not the college environment that
• 9:09
  New York City should be allowing, normalizing, or getting used to. You
• 9:16
  hire a prohamas professor that sympathizes you, fire them as soon as you know
• 9:22
  what they're saying. The Ivy League is supposed to be one of the smartest
• 9:31
  ring of schools institutions Columbia, Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Brown. If
• 9:43
  they are looking like the most dumbest, irresponsible campuses and insiders of anti Semitism,
• 10:01
  they are inciting it. They're inciting violence, but no one's been hurt
• 10:05
  yet. Yeah, well wait, wait till the words become actions, then
• 10:11
  talk to me. The whole point is to stop it before it becomes actions.
• 10:18
  From what I can see and as someone who is of Jewish blood and
• 10:24
  also my observations, the Jewish people since October seventh have done things that are
• 10:30
  far more peaceful in protests than what these agitators, the anarchists that claim to
• 10:39
  be for free palacy. No, you just want to eradicate the Jews,
• 10:41
  that's what you want to do. Free Palacey moment. I'm not afraid to
• 10:45
  say that on this podcast. It's beyond and Yahoo and all that. It's
• 10:52
  beyond that. At this point, it's a threat to your Jewish neighbor right
• 11:00
  here in New York City, and campuses are standing for that kind of threat.
• 11:11
  Donors, pull away your money now, NYPD be on guard. Just
• 11:16
  thank you for protecting these campuses and these Jewish students and campus presence, university
• 11:22
  presence re How do I even say this, because there's no getting back the
• 11:37
  image of Columbia University as a proceigure No, this isn't This is not a
• 11:39
  proceigus institution anymore. And it saddens me to say that because the campus is
• 11:46
  so beautiful and looks proceigious, but it's not a prestigious campus anymore if they're
• 11:48
  gonna let this happen. So if you are doctor Schaffiq or other Columbia University
• 12:01
  faculty that I have allowed this, I hope you get fired. I hope
• 12:07
  you get pushed to resign tomorrow, because when those Jewish students start really getting
• 12:16
  attacked because the words are becoming are brewing, the anti Semitism is brewing,
• 12:24
  they'll be blood on your hands. And I will state that firmly here on
• 12:31
  the Alex Garratt podcast Network. It's anti Semitic. What's going on? Not
• 12:39
  free Palestine. Get it right or get the hell out of the way.
