Why is there a debate about free speech in this context?

Transcripts
that doesn't mean I don't have very
strong views about what's happening in
Gaza because you know that I do so what
where is my lie in all this yeah Piers
I've just listened to you for 20 minutes
frame the issue in a purely 100% Israeli
propaganda way so if you say Hey listen
the Jewish students shouldn't be
harassed or attacked of course I agree
I've you agree with me so why have I
lied yeah no no no stop interrupting
the protesters wreaking havoc at some of
America's top universities have a deadly
serious point unfortunately many of them
fundamentally unserious people Nothing
captured the insanity of this moment
better than a PhD candidate at Columbia
University stepping out to demand
humanitarian aid for the
protesters I guess it's ultimately a
question of what kind of community and
obligation Colombia feels it has to its
students um do you want students to die
of dehydration and starvation or get
severely ill even if they disagree with
you if the answer is no then you should
allow basic I mean it's crazy to say
because we're on an ivy Le campus but
this is like basic humanitarian Aid
we're asking for it seems like you're
sort of saying we want to be
revolutionaries we want to take up this
building now would you please bring us
food with a completely straight face she
demands urgent assistance for protesters
to spare them from dehydration
starvation and severe illness as she and
her mob friends voluntarily occupied a
private building in support of gar and
people actually facing dehydration
starvation and severe illness well
students protesting for peace is nothing
new they have every right to do it but
clearly they're are limits under the law
and at this point they're doing a better
job of Israeli propaganda than Israel's
government police have moved into eject
students from Columbia's Hamilton Hall
after reports they vandalized and
barricaded the famous building as the
university said this was because of the
protest as actions not because of their
cause officers Clash for students at
other campuses overnight including UCLA
Los Angeles where pro-israel protesters
moved on their Rivals and police
patients ran out it's all begin
unpleasant shades of the BLM riots in
2020 a fundamentally just cause which
became toxic and divisive fueled by
people who know little about the issues
a lot about causing chaos and quite AP
from apart from the absurdity of the
individuals involved it raises serious
questions and contradictions many of
former president Trump's feces critics
shuted at his blat Crackdown on most
2020 protests how does St Joe Biden's
supporters defend the SE we're
witnessing now and on the other hand
many of the staunchest offenders of free
speech have being the loudest supporters
of Israel and the fiercest critics of
the campus protesters so where is the
line and is it the police or the
protesters who've crossed it well in a
moment we'll debate all this with an
All-Star panel but first joining me now
is pro Palestinian activist Nardin kwani
who organized protests outside Columbia
and City University in New York last
night um okay Nadine welcome back to
uncensored you were there last night
there's a current ban uh on you and
others from Colombia dated from last
week uh saying that you are considered
Persona onr on all Colombia University
own property due to alarming and
concerning Behavior so why were you back
there I wasn't inside the gates of
Colombia I was outside of Colombia and
you know I'm able to be able to protest
outside of Colombia in support of the
students as a New Yorker just like New
Yorkers have been consistently showing
outside of the gates of Colombia um in
support of the students even before they
launched the GZA solidarity encampment
uh my organization within our lifetime
mobilized in support of Colombia
students uh from Jewish voice for peace
and from students for justice in
Palestine who are both suspended um
months ago and you know we're just
continuing that tradition that support
um from the community to the students so
we had a a protest that started at NYU
went to the new school made a stop at
fit the Fashion Institute of Technology
uh we made our way over to Colombia by
train and then ended at cuni so just
showing solidarity to all of the
encampments but it's not quite a
straightforward as just showing
solidarity uh mobs inside and outside
the campus have been chanting into F and
anyone who knows the history of the uh
conflict between Palestine and Israel
knows what in means it means a violent
Uprising they've been chanting from The
River To The Sea which of course course
involves the eradication of Israel we've
seen Jewish students being harassed uh
by by the mob we've seen Jewish
professors not being allowed in to teach
because of fears for their safety uh
we've seen others being held in
effective captivity following the
breaking in the violent breaking in of
an historic building uh all of this uh a
lot of it is Criminal from trespass to
vandalism to actually potentially
kidnapping people if you're not letting
them out when you break in um how do you
how do you so no kidnappings have happen
hang on I'm just saying potentially
potentially it could be categorized as
that so my question for you is why would
you support all this why do you support
chanting about a violent Uprising why
are Jewish students being harassed in
this manner why would you support the
wanton vandalism involved in smashing
into an historic
building so I'm going to try to answer
this in the order of everything you said
first of all an uh means shaking off in
Arabic or Uprising it's not just using
the Palestinian context but against
people fighting against oppression
everywhere and the City University of
New York where I was a student in
undergrad and for law school actually
investigated SJP um for the use of the
word in in previous um years they
released a report in 2016 that is public
right now you can find it um online that
clarifies that Ina is not an
anti-semitic there have been two inter
hang on there have been two inter the
first and second inter in the in the
conflict uh in the last 30 years been
these two Infamous interf fathers which
led to the deaths of many many people on
both sides both were violent uprisings
and so when people CH about when you
have a pro Palestinian when a pro
Palestinian group started as boycotts
started as strikes are you going to let
me respond because you actually made a
lot of accusations and I'm going to try
to respond to all of them in order okay
well you not going back and forth are
you going to try and deny that either
inap was violent
I believe that the Israeli colonizers
the zionists made it violent by
attacking peaceful protests just like we
saw the NYPD attack protesters at cuni
and at Colombia that made the situation
that wasn't previously violent violence
and all the acts of terrorism
perpetrated by Pro Palestinians against
Israelis during the two iners what do
you think of those I'm not here to
debate the first and second and the with
you I'm told you the definition of the
word you can
you're being disingenuous when people
when Pro Palestinian groups in a new
outside of New York University chant
about in they know what they're doing
and Jewish people know what they're
doing they are invoking the first and
second which involves which
involves protr has been chanting in for
decades so you know this and and let's
go back let's go to the second phrase
you say from The River To The Sea now
they want to make a problem with that
any chance that we say you know there's
this accusation of of anti-Semitism
because every single Pro Palestinian
activist has been accused of of
anti-Semitism as a way to silence them
even though just you know you mentioned
Jewish students before so many of these
Jewish students are standing with us are
with the protest inside and outside many
are not many are being hared Jewish
voice for peace was suped many je many
Jewish students are not and they're
being harassed and we're seeing the
videos of they're being harassed they're
being threatened they're being banned
from
going hared they've been but you're not
in Gaza doing this you're doing in the
middle of New York what does this have
to do with being in Gaza we're here as
New Yorkers as Arabs Muslims and
Palestinians and we're harassed daily
constantly not just since October 7th
but for as long as we have lived here
and you know that's constantly ignored
uh but when Palestinian students are
finally speaking up against the
slaughter of their people and Gaza and
all over Palestine you know it becomes a
problem now they want to you know pay
attention um to these things you know I
think every uh Palestinian organization
including my own has made it clear that
we stand against anti-Semitism and that
these smears of anti-Semitism against
Pro Palestinian activists are a
long-held tradition by the Zionist Lobby
by Zionist organizations as an attempt
to discredit people if protesters get
violent is that acceptable resistance to
the
oppression I haven't seen any violence
um happen happening at protest so I
don't even know why this um is a
question nobody's advocating for violent
protest and nobody say Jus including
myself would it be justified I just
answered that you're just repeating the
same question I feel like you're being
disingenous when I've already made this
you didn't answer if it would be
justified I just said it's not
acceptable how could it be justified
right so the only violence that we see
being Unleashed which is completely
unacceptable is by the nyp who have maed
protesters they ma people at NYU which I
saw with my own eyes
they last night they whipped out their
bons they beat people until they bled
people got people got punched in the
face they were bleeding from their teeth
you know this is the violence that's
complet because a howling vient that's
because a howling violent mob chanting
into broke into an historic building on
a private property it's not their
property they committed acts of
vandalism they committed acts of
trespass they were holding people
against their will they've been
threatening and harassing Jewish
students I'm sorry that's not a peaceful
protest right these people are not
protesting peace will were Colombia
students forced to stay inside the
journalism school you know the NYPD
literally poked open poked their head in
an open door and told the cuni
journalism students that if they left
that building they would be arrested
Colombia admin came to say that they
should have the right to report that
they can't limit um the freedom of
speech the freedom of the press and the
NYPD actually threatened Colombia um
Administration so the only people who
were being held against their will um
were the Colombia students by the NYPD
um and other students who were not part
of the journalism School part of the
other schools or in their dorms were
also ordered to shelter in place by the
Columbia Administration so everything
you've brought up from the violence to
people being held against their will
this is being perpetuated by the POS
people in positions of Power by the
administrations of these universities
and by the police Police Department who
was being used to crush peaceful protest
who was being used to show up in riot
gear and turn an otherwise peaceful
situation um into a riot never forget
that in 1968 150 protesters occupied the
same exact Hall that the students of
Colombia are were occupying as of last
night and forced to come out of Hamilton
Hall which they renamed hins Hall in
honor of the 5-year-old Palestinian girl
who was killed who had to sit in a car
with her family member for hours her
family members for hours while they
decayed while they rotted after being
killed by the Israeli Army and she
starved um to death nobody was able to
get to her um so you know okay the this
in 1968 Hamilton Hall was occupied by
over 150 students uh protesting South
African apartheid and this kind of
police violence wasn't used against them
and they are remembered in history as
Heroes so continuing the long held
tradition of University activism this is
what they were doing at this is what we
were doing at cuni and all the
encampments that we see not just in the
US but all seven continents I have to
move on because I have I have four other
guest but I appreciate you joining me
thank you very much but joining me now
is the independent presidential
candidate Cornell West who teaches at
Columbia and joins some of the student
protests the Fox News contributor cat
Tim former BLM supporter Javier deuso of
preu pru who broke into a pro
Palestinian encampment at UCLA and The
Young Turks founder Jen yugar uh Kat I
want to start with you because I know
you've got a a slight time constraint um
so I want to start with you and just
talk about one aspect of this which is
the whole issue of free speech in this
debate and we're going to get into the
two sides part of it in a moment with
the other guest but from a free speech
perspective what is your take on what
we're seeing
here so I've been very open about my
about this issue I think there's been
not quite enough focus on the Free
Speech issue I think that for example
you could look at Texas government
Abbott who in 2019 was saying there has
to be free speech on campuses there has
to be the first amendment on campuses
then on March 27th he signed something
that limits speech on campus including
constitutionally protected speech
including criticism of Israel's
government I think that what the
Constitution says is is very very clear
that that even hate speech is Free
Speech right so you can debate whether
something is or is not hate speech and
the debate you just have with your last
guest proves that there is some dis
agreement on that and the main point is
the government should not be the one
deciding what is and is not uh we have
Indi a spokesperson for the Indiana uh
police department saying hate speech
isn't free speech well that just simply
isn't true and it's the whole idea of
what it's always been which is that you
don't want the government to be in the
position of deciding what speech is and
is not allowed because that is going to
be dangerous for anyone including
including Jew Jewish students right I
mean there there was no free speech
obvious ly in Hitler's Germany right and
saying that Free Speech something is
First Amendment protected free speech is
not that you don't have to say you agree
with it and you can totally bring up the
fact that maybe it's been less
consistent in terms of uh all of a
sudden now a lot of these University
presidents are super pro- free speech
when it comes to this when they haven't
been in the past but to me that's not
going to cause me to be hypocritical on
this issue I'm I'm a First Amendment
absolutist I was in 2019 I was before
2019 and I still am today what if you
are chanting
inter given the history of
interfers between Israel and Palestine
uh twice in the last 30 years we know
what interfers have been there there've
been violent uprisings with many people
dying and what if you chart from The
River To The Sea which which Jewish
people believe absolutely means the
eradication of Israel I was just asking
first amendment I will come to everybody
else cat cat has to go so I I want to
just get this free speech part of the
debate out the way cat
the first amendment is actually clear on
on that where it's you have to have a
very very very specific exception where
that would not be allowed so for example
a peaceful protest where people are
Marching and saying from the river to
the sea is constitutionally protected
speech an incident where you were
targeting a specific Jewish student and
chanting that at that student where a
protest had become
violent then that maybe would not be but
it but it's very very narrow and and
it's supposed to be very very narrow
where there has to be um it has to be
directed and likely to produce imminent
action and also true threats those are
the only exceptions which are very very
narrow and and the law is clear on this
but if you have people and we've seen
pictures of them inside and outside
campus who appear to be supporting Hamas
rhetoric who are wearing maybe Insignia
relating to Hamas or hisb or whatever if
you're brazenly
supporting organizations groups of
people that are deemed to be Terri s by
large sways of the world does that cross
the line This is utter nonsense Piers
can I just answer the question you got
you got genocide taking place you got
IDF terrorism taking place you can't say
a mumbling word about 12 universities
that's been leveled to the ground
hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of
professors have been killed students
have been killed you're a journalist yes
have you talked about the 112
journalists who have been killed brother
I have lies
hang
hang UNF you just start you start lying
man it's ridiculous I'm not lying about
anything you are I agree with Cornell
West completely you're totally utterly
lying through your framing the framing
of I can't hear you both speak at the
same time Cornell just to be clear I
have posted sorry hang on hang on I have
posted about the journalists who've died
in Gaza right I have posted about this I
have highlighted the deaths of those
journalists right put it in the
framework well I I'm going to I was
gonna come to you about the framework no
you're not all the vandalism about one
Hall and you hardly can say a mumbling
word about universities libraries gone
completely School rooms gone completely
you see how truncated and narrow your
framework is you just lying man you
ought to be shame of yourself when you
say lying what you're trying to imply
that I don't care about the other stuff
you've just mentioned I'm say that's
definitely right not have the same value
as an Israeli life that's what I'm
saying okay let me bring in let me bring
in let me bring okay let me bring in J
just to be clear I haven't I haven't
lied about anything right I haven't
talked about what's happened in Gaza yet
because we haven't come to that part of
the debate but Chen I don't believe
you've always seemed to me to be one of
the more rational voices in Mr debate
prepared to accept what Hamas did was
horrendous and so on I don't believe
that you think it's right that Jewish
students should be intimidated and
harassed on you come right back to the
thing again can I just answer this for
we are debating the protest okay come on
Brother come on man I don't think it's
right they should be subjected to
intimidation okay nobody no that's right
not speak I'll come back girl has a
whole name after her because she and
15,000 other children have been killed
by the IDF terrorist that you don't even
call terrorist but you can call the
students terrorist that's not a double
standards man that's just outright
mendacity hiding criminality on your
show and you're supposed to be
uncentered concerned about the truth you
just said I called them terrorists I
haven't called I haven't called them
terrorists that ironically is a lie Jen
I want to bring you in uh you're getting
very angry about this too just to be
clear I I am expressing an opinion that
what has happened at Colombia has
crossed a line and that if I'm a Jewish
student there I think it's completely
outrageous I'm being intimidated and
harassed for the actions of Israel's
government thousands of miles away that
doesn't mean I don't have very strong
views about what's happening in Gaza
because you know that I do so what where
is my lie in all this yeah Piers I've
just listened to you for 20 minutes
frame the issue in a purely 100% Israeli
propag Anda way so if you say Hey listen
Jewish students shouldn't be harassed or
attacked of course I agree I've got je
so why have I lied yeah no no no stop
interrupting but what you don't talk
about is you say from the river to the
sea is an unacceptable change did you
mention to the audience in these last 20
minutes that Benjamin Netanyahu actually
said it recently not only that he's
actually doing it he's in the middle of
wiping out the Palestinians from the
river to the sea that is the grotesque
violence he has slaughtered
25,000 women and children they were all
innocent so when Hamas kills 860
innocent Israeli civilians I call them
out and I say that is terrible but when
Israel Slaughters
25,000 women and children we we're
saying oh I don't like a pro Palestinian
chant chant that's what we're concerned
about and now you turn to the the vi
that has happened on college campuses
there is one case of overwhelming
violence and that happened last night at
UCLA and it was pro-israeli protesters
that violently attacked the peace
protesters that didn't do anything they
attacked an old lady and said oh yeah
good luck trying to defend yourself old
lady these are vicious vigilante Thugs
and they have done more violence than
all of the peace protesters in the
country combined where are the arrest
where are the where's the outrage
where's the indignation you pretend that
you care about protecting students but
you only care about protecting one side
whereas the other side is assaulted no I
don't actually no because debased and
humiliated all you want to do is cancel
their speech you want you're part of
cancel culture and admit it right now
you're talking about protesting people
Americans resp can Americans way okay
this is not the United States of Israel
fine America
to protest a foreign government okay let
me respond just to be clear you've lost
the right wing L the left wing you've
lost America America's not going to
stand here and let Israel keep shouting
or we can have to speak and who's going
to be arrested all right you can keep
shout give you 20 minutes to do
propaganda go ahead now it's not
propaganda I I have many views about all
of this we're talking specifically about
the protests at Colombia which I think
have crossed the line I'm by the way you
talk about cancel culture I'm entitled
to my view without you Dr West screaming
liar genocide supporter and all this
other
[ __ ] let me let me let me make it
clear you do you condemn them I'm do the
same thing you are do you condemn them
you Pro violence can I answer the
question if this was Jewish students
that were breaking into this building
violently no you don't have to go with a
hypothetical sorry I am going to go with
a hypothetical because you're trying to
make out that somehow I'm only doing
this because I'm Pro Israel's government
I'm not pro Israel's government what I'm
What I Am pro is the safety of Jewish
students being protected because they
are not responsible for the actions of
an Israel government thousands of miles
away they're entitled having paid
$400,000 for their education you say no
you don't want to protect the peace Pro
I don't think more rules should be
allowed to go on so when you talk about
this is a private University campus they
are entitled to not have their buildings
desecrated in this manner and they are
entitled eventually to have the police
remove be honest be honest when they
were doing it in a public space you were
everybody in media in American Media
said how dare they do it in a public
space they do it in a private place you
go how dare they do it in a private
place you shouldn't be breaking into
building full you know what when Martin
Luther King in Selma Alabama cross the
Edmond Pettis Bridge you know what they
said how dare they interrupt the bridge
how dare they go in a public place how
dare those protesters civil rights
leaders should know their role should
know their place boy that's what people
like everyone in American Media is
saying right now to the people in favor
of not slaughtering any more
Palestinians you guys sound exactly like
bull Conor okay I Kat I know you have to
go I just want to just bring you back in
just briefly look this is an incredibly
as you can tell this is a very
incendiary debate and passions run very
high about this is anything you've just
been listening to uh giving you any more
clarity about how we resolve this
situation because presumably these
protests are not going to go away uh
they may get bigger in number they may
affect more universities this is this is
a bad situation getting progressively
quickly worse what do we do about
this right again going back to what I
was saying before I think that the law
on these things is clear I think that we
want to be careful to not give up any of
our rights as Americans in response to
things that we see there was also a
bipartisan legislation proposed uh about
having anti-Semitism monitor on campuses
I mean what could go wrong there right
and I've I've been open as a First
Amendment absolutist and I've had people
send me videos of things like smash
Windows well is this free speech cat
obviously not and I'm not saying that it
is I think that the robust debate
surrounding this proves all the more
reason why there are strong
disagreements on what counts as what and
what means this or what means that that
we should not have the government be in
the position to decide ever what you can
and cannot say because any of these
rules that some people are pushing for
that would you know some of the the
slogans that the Palestinian protesters
are chanting to silence any of that
could then based on what else someone
else thinks could be used to say prevent
an IDF soldier from coming to campus to
speak so I think that there are two
separate things that we need to keep how
you feel about the speech personally how
you feel about the issue personally and
then how you feel about the government
involvement in it those are two
completely separate things and it's not
not the same to be proir Amendment and
anti-semitic you make some great points
cat we've got to let you go thank you
very much indeed for joining us I
greatly appreciate it thank you I want
to bring in jav derusso you've been
waiting patiently you posted on X
yesterday Breaking Inside the UCLA
anti-israel encampment journalist cam
Higby and I snuck into the ongoing
encampment to see what was going on cam
was caught after asking too many common
sense questions and physically removed
by the protesters we have a bit of
footage of that I think about the same
wristbands as the anti-s semis so that
we could sneak into their camp and woo
CH out the ghetto first of all they had
gender neutral buckets to urate and poop
in the whole place smelled like musty
terrorists and [ __ ] but the fact that
they were forcing out conversation and
journalists makes it clear that they
don't have the answers to explain why
they're there and I was overhearing the
most racist conversations about white
people just in general these people are
literally BLM rebranded and more
extreme look that's pretty inflammatory
stuff but you're here now
um do you think what you did last night
was the right thing to
do absolutely and first of all thank you
for having me pierce it was the right
thing to do I'm somebody I hate
propaganda from either side I hate being
told what I'm supposed to believe so I
like to go in and see for myself so I
snuck into the camp it was very easy I
just put on a tacky outfit and went and
bought the same wristbands from Staples
and I saw the conditions that were back
there I saw saw the sanitation hazards
of them all using the same bucket to
poop in and I saw the I overheard the
conversations that they were having in
there it was full of hate speech it was
full of just calling for the Bloodshed
of Zionist it was them being angry and
It ultimately started to get violent
once my friend cam Hick's cover was
blown once they realized as they were
describing him as a white Republican
they immediately knew that they had to
kick him out and they locked arms they
were shoving him up the stairs and then
back down the stairs to get him out of
the encampment and it just goes to show
how aggressive these college students
are getting I'm all for free speech I'm
all for freedom of expression but that
is limited once you start one
prohibiting these students who pay a lot
of money to go to these college campuses
to go to class as well as you start
becoming violent towards journalists and
people who are just there trying to get
an inside story on what's actually
happening on these universities that we
are being asked to pay for U Dr West
coming back to you Donald Trump got
horrendous criticism for cracking down
on the BLM protest in
2020 is Biden not just doing the same
here and is there a double standard in
the way that people are looking at these
two different
situations Ian one anytime you have
massive military
occupation of a community that's what
BLS was about that's what the black
lives matter was about which that's a
400y year Affair I don't know whether
the brother would want to do that in the
1960 to see who was using the urine with
King and Malcolm and fny L and others
but there were other issues they were
zeroing in on it's called American
terrorism it's called American gym club
or American police murdering other young
people of different colors disply
chocolate right but when you have
massive military occupation that is a
massive breakdown of a community if you
can't have a leadership of a university
that can have a dialogue about three
claims we want transparency about your
investment
we don't want you to invest in genocide
occupation and ethnic cleansing and we
want amnesty you can have a dialogue at
Brown they said they're gonna have a
dialogue they're gonna have a vote but
no no not Colombia and the others
they've become such a corporation they
tied to their donors they're tied to
their money Masters they're tied to
their benefactors they don't give a damn
about what the students think the
students are just Canon f for their
reputation who are highly talented
worked very hard but have hard hardly
any voice and when you don't have a
voice and you you move in a nonviolent
way and brother Pierce you should know
the two first anti fathers were
nonviolent they shot him down like dogs
that's why Hamas didn't appear till 1988
and you had the vicious occupation in
1948 if they had shot mther King Jr down
and Rosa Parks down and so forth there's
no doubt that black folk would have
responded that's why we the black people
haven't created a black version of the
Klux Clan because we had leaders like
Martin and leaders like Fanny L you
shoot them down like a dog it's going to
be a very different situation that's
what we're okay but let me ask you let
me ask you a question are gonna have
fults okay let me ask you a question my
question for you we're talking about the
main issue of genocide this ain't no
game this ain't no game it's not a game
people are dying though
understand
unell you must let me respond you teach
teach you teach at Columbia and you
joined these protests Theological
Seminary across the street I've been in
the camps I didn't see anything that the
other brother saw but you know if he he
makes his judgment he makes his judgment
but given that there has been clear
intimidation and harassment of Jewish
students it's been broadcast we've seen
the videos of it you cannot be happy as
a professor there that Jewish students
are being harassed and intimidated
because people are critical of what an
Israel government's doing thousands of
miles away that is my
point of course of course that goes
without saying I try to be a decent
person in my life you
agree that D you agree with me all you
want to talk about is prot not all I
want to talk about cor but that is
actually this debate organization that
are banded back in October did you say a
word about that when you got massive
children at universities and the
hospitals completely leveled and you
have something on your Twitter rather
than make that part of the framing of
the issue then in fact you become an
extension of propaganda and that's why I
call you a racist because it means then
that how dare
honestly I'm how
dare you would not frame it in that way
I'm sorry but you you how dare you call
me a racist what you don't know is I
before I did this debate I did a long
interview with one of the IDF spokesmen
in which I went after him about their
planned invasion of Rafa because I think
it would be a catastrophic mistake so
don't call me a racist and don't assume
you don't assume believe the Palestinian
life has the same value as Israeli life
absolutely not fiber in when it comes to
Palestinian predic absolutely believe
palestin I believe Palestinian lives
matter just as much as any other lives
and I've always said that always it's
not manifesting your framing brother
it's not manifesting your don't throw
around the word racist without any
evidence to support the fact that I'm a
racist hear a lot of evidence and I've
been hearing the evidence and I throw it
around it's not throwing around it's a
reality me me me saying it is wrong that
Jewish students are being harassed is
not racism because I'm not also I'm not
also talking about
unaza I
think ingenuous all right J I'll bring
you in no please okay look piers you
keep going back to the most obvious
question in the world should Jewish
students be uh protected from harassment
or assault obviously obviously you both
agree with me does that RAC let finish
let me finish let me finish so that's
the most obvious point in the world and
I already told you that I have Jewish I
have a nephew who wears a star David on
a college campus I I will go and help
the people that are escorting them to
their classes Etc that is not an issue
but what you just did was you spent now
20 to 30 minutes framing it like that is
the biggest issue in everyone is saying
oh no we should attack the Jewish
students when no one is saying that in
reality hold on in
reality vigilante thugs last night
attacked a peace protesters at UCLA who
had done nothing wrong it was a violent
attack they beat them with sticks they
pepper sprayed them and yet I ask you a
simple question you've got now an 20 to
30 minutes of propaganda saying all the
Palestinian protesters the peace
protesters they hate the Jews they're
anti-semites anti-semites all the Jews
are in danger Etc and I'm saying of
course let's protect them and then you
make it seem like that's the 98% of the
issue when in reality the only
protesters that have been massively
violent are the pro-israel protesters
and to this second not only did you
mention it for about 2 and a half
seconds
still haven't condemn them so do you
condemn them peers the violent thugs I
delber I deliberately I deliberately
held off writing or commenting about
what was going in Colombia for quite a
few days and I will do the same about
what happened at UCLA until I've
actually established for well hang on
sorry it happened overnight and I will
wait and see the facts and when I get
the facts I will pass judgment without
fear or favor and certainly without any
racism now heavy you were there last
night no hold on on the racism charge no
no because we are everyone who defends
Palestinians in this country no matter
what they say like I'm a perfect example
I condemn Hamas I want to protect the
Jewish students I want a beautiful Pro
Palestine and Israel I want two states
and we're called anti-semites including
by your guest 247 the minute someone
calls never you lives don't matter all a
sudden everybody catches feelings ex I
haven't only goes one way it only goes
one way
right in this country I have never
called you an anti-semite I've never
called Dr West Ani I've never called
either of you racist and yet both of you
have gone along with calling me a racist
even though I'm not so yeah if you're
going framing look at your are you going
to ignore the framing piers are you
going to ignore the framing you know you
framed it this way and Piers you're not
Al
not hold on Pi let me give you a little
bit of credit you are open to the
Palestinian position 20% of the time to
that's why I come back on this show but
the American Media is filled with racist
against Muslims American politicians are
racist against Muslims and they Revel in
it blood rivers of blood in Gaza and
American politicians and the American
Media say not enough kill them more
Israel kill them more anyone who objects
to the wide Slaughter of those people is
called an anti-semite American Media is
sick just to be clear uh you were all
booked to take part in a debate
specifically about the protests at
Colombia so when you're asking why am I
focusing on the protest at Colombia that
is why you were all booked for this
segment and debate so don't try and be
disingenuous with viewers and make out
that you were booked for any wider
purpose because you weren't I wanted to
debate all the issues around what's
going on in colia what is interesting to
me let talk about let me let's talk
about let meish those peace prot the
same ones that came I'm sorry you don't
just keep talking on my show propaganda
against like people like
you RAC or war is always great peace is
always the bad guys it's
absurdity I agree with you about it
being AB peers do you get that we are
vomiting your propaganda we can't stand
it anymore it isn't just about you it's
all of media all of the politicians with
their non-stop propaganda that the
people in favor of Peace the people who
want to protect innocent lives are
somehow Pro terrorists are the B guys or
the anti-semites or the racists Etc
we're sick of the overwhelming
propaganda I'm pretty sick of being
Races by you guys so we've all got
across
let whether IDF or terrorist are the IDF
a terrorist organization killing
innocent children yes or no I do not
believe they're a terrorist organization
no oh come on of course teror they're at
War there's a big difference between
being a war being at War and being a
terrorist you may think they are
and you may think they are Jank you've
asked me a question I do not think they
are okay Bas on what do I think the ID
matter do I think the IDF has very
serious questions to answer about the
way they are executing this war
absolutely do we have international
criminal courts do we have Criminal
Courts and laws and rules to uh to hold
them to account absolutely and do I want
them to be held to account damn right I
do yeah and do I think they should be
invading Rafa no I do
don't mean that much to you man come on
oh it does mean as much to me let me
bring in Javier
again
talking this debate has got very
unpleasant for reasons that are slightly
lost on me given what the debate was
supposed to Corell let Javier speak okay
Javier you were there has been very
patient Javier you were there last night
and it's been pictured by uh Chen as it
was simply a bunch of very violent
pro-israel protesters attacking
completely innocent Pro Palestinian
protesters what was your experience
there what did you
see I mean that's not what happened
there and it's not what's happened at
any of these universities I don't know
why he's trying to portray it as if the
pro Palestinians are there peacefully I
also have a video on my Twitter of a pro
Palestinian chasing after a Jewish man
trying to tase him because she didn't
like what was on his sign I also saw a
man go and spit on a woman's dog simply
because she was on Design This Side so
no it's not this situation where you
have the prop Palestinians who are just
sitting there in their encampment and
not doing anything these people have
continuously been violent and I mean
even just looking over at what happened
in Colombia you're not busting into
windows and breaking into buildings if
you're there to be peaceful and to be
protesting peacefully that's not the
case so you are disingenuous think if
you're going to sit here and pretend
that the pro Palestinians are just being
innocent I don't understand how you
could even see it in that
way are you going to sit here there's
videos online are you going to sit here
and lie everyone and say that the pro
side didn't
attack well you both spoke over each
other so we didn't hear what either
person said okay all right let me just
ask Javier who's obviously lying about
this there's videos online of the
pro-israel side clearly attacking the
pro Palestinian side with sticks and
fireworks and pepper spray are you going
to sit here and lie on television and
say to everyone that the that that that
didn't happen because I go ahead you
lose all credibility go ahead liar they
were fighting back they were fighting
back and don't call me a liar I'm not
here to sit here name call him be
childish like you at your big age but oh
yeah you just called the pro Palestinian
side there is a woman who was put in the
hospital she was inent all of a sudden
yeah you just they were being dirty you
don't sit there and poop in a gender
neutral bucket and sit there and act
like you're not dirty I call the health
department it is filthy the way that
they're behaving is filthy I don't hate
Muslims but I do hate Muslim extremism I
have a lot of fundamental issues with
the Muslim extremism that's going on
world if the only way that you can get
your point across is going and raping
and beheading people then you're
probably a terrorist you're probably an
extr I have an issue with that I do have
an issue with the fact that you show an
ankle and you're killed in some of these
nations oh no I'm racist racist I don't
have any issue with Muslims in general I
didn't say did I not just say extrem I
just said extremist but you chose to
hear what you wanted to
hear [ __ ] into a bucket I wasn't even
just talking about the Muslims talking
about and the encampment the encampment
is disgusting they're all sitting there
with unwashed behinds protesting and
screaming out for the Bloodshed of Jews
and Christians worldwide so yeah I have
a problem with that I have a fundamental
issue with that that such a big
deal I lie where was the LIE the LIE
who's paying you Javier who's paying you
Javier Palestinian side started the
aggression they started the violence
when they went they attacked that Jewish
girl went the hospital that night and
then to escalate don't know what you're
talking about I mean that's that's
ridiculous that's like saying Turner
created he was the cause of the whole
issue of white supremacy because he's
responding to white supremacy that's
ridiculous and you know it's ridic why
are we still talking about white
supremacy in 2024 why are we still
talking about that hundreds of years
later what do white people do that black
people can how is white supremacy even
still on the Forefront of your mind
you're stuck in the past you're stuck in
these dated issues and
that's now you're really revealing your
ignorance brother you don't think white
supremacy has anything to do with what's
going on in Gaza how am I ignorant I've
been black for 27 years and I have never
been inferior to a white person what is
the white supremacy that has affecting
your life I would like to hear it nobody
in your family like to hear it what can
I do that a white
person right you one of the few black
people never been mistreated okay all
right all right I see I see saying that
I've never been mistreated every graic
has been mistreated why people get
mistreated all because Dem is getting
mistreated there is Prejudice from every
single demographic so I don't understand
what you think that that is so unique to
black people for all right you know what
I I've got to bring this I've got to
bring this debate to an end it was
supposed to be specifically about the
protest I'm sorry that it got so heated
and personally abusive I would like to
make it clear it wasn't your fault I
would like I would like to make it clear
to Corell and to CH I'm not a racist and
I genuinely care about the safety of
Jewish students of that University
that's it and that doesn't mean I don't
care about what's happening in Gaza or
the journalists there or the
universities there or any of those
things because actually I do and I've
expressed my concern about that in your
reporting let's see it in your reporting
well if you bother to watch it Cornell
you would know if you bother to watch it
you would know over and over and over
again brother that's why I come on your
show then you would not then you would
not call me a racist
yeah well I'm sorry you don't have a
right to call me a racist without
evidence and you didn't have any oh
please brother when the evidence is
overwhelming you can't even say the IDF
is B of terrorist and Palestinians but
Hamas terrorizes all the time
Palestinian lives don't mean the same as
Israeli lives for you ad it wrestle with
that in the Midnight Hour wrestle with
that midnight terrorism when you're at
War I don't think you understand the
definition of Terror I value every life
I value every life as equally important
even yours Corell how would white suac I
want you to tell me that I'm the
blackest person in LA county I've got to
leave it there look I value all of your
lies I value coming on the program I'm
sorry things got so personal but uh we
move on and we'll continue debating it I
believe that out of all the debate
hopefully we will get some solutions and
we'll get to a better place so thank you
