00:00 And just on another topic where obviously everyone's watching today, what's going on
00:03 at Columbia University, has the President or anyone from the White House spoken to university

00:08 Is the President satisfied with how they're handling the situation?
00:12 So I will say this.
00:14 Look, and we've said this many times, this is nothing new.
00:18 The President has always been clear that while Americans have the right to peacefully protest,
00:25 that's something that we believe here in this administration.
00:27 He stands squarely, squarely against any rhetoric, violent rhetoric, any hate threats and physical
00:36 intimidation and hate speech.
00:38 Obviously we believe and we have said anti-Semitism is dangerous.
00:41 It is hate speech and it is abhorrent and there is no place for anti-Semitism on campuses

00:56 And free expression has to be done within the law.
01:00 And we're going to continue to be very clear about that.
01:04 That has not changed.
01:05 We've been very consistent.
