00:00 We are absolutely responsible for civilians being killed because they prevented us from
00:05 displaying what was happening in the newsroom.
00:07 So remember that.
00:08 Right now we are currently encouraging the university and the faculty to ensure that
00:13 these students are able to take their finals.
00:15 And with that, if you are a parent and have a student at this university, I encourage
00:18 you to contact the faculty and say thank you because they are doing everything that they
00:22 can to ensure that every student has the right to an interview.
00:25 Why should the United States support Jewish supremacists?
00:27 The peace and progress now in the business of shooting criminals.
00:37 Let me talk to the people real quick.
00:41 Listen, what is happening here is wrong.
00:43 Mayor Bowser has let down the students of George Washington.
00:46 She has let down the city of Washington, D.C.
00:49 Everybody believes in peaceful protests, but this is trespassing now.
00:53 GW has asked for help to have the impairment removed because this is a private property.
01:00 And the mayor is beat in the face of foolishness and she will not do her job of enforcing the
01:06 law in Washington, D.C.
01:08 So we're calling on the mayor to step up and support the president and the administration
01:12 at George Washington.
01:14 All students deserve to be protected.
01:16 They deserve their ethics which is heard.
01:18 But you cannot take over a university campus for your own interest.
01:22 None of you will let it happen to your own house.
01:25 You wouldn't let your house be overtaken by a group of people.
01:28 You would call the police and you would expect the police...
01:30 Sir, I let you talk before you calm down.
01:32 I'll talk to you now.
01:34 And you would not allow that.
01:36 You would call the police to come in and get people out of your home.
01:39 It is no different on private property.
01:41 So Mayor Bowser needs to step up and actually lead for once in Washington, D.C.
01:45 And support all the people of Washington, D.C. and all the students here at George Washington.
01:53 Why should they punish you?
01:55 Why should the premises of justice be supported by the police?
