00:00There were protesters yelling, Israel, go to hell, and long live the intifada.
00:04They were also waving terrorist flags. What's your response to that?
00:07It's just despicable. I visited the site where the presentation is on place for
00:18the October 7th incident, massacre. I take my hat off to Chancellor Banks, who brought
00:25his superintendents there. And I really always called, after our team looked at the
00:32presentation or some of the video, I felt that more people need to see it,
00:36because people thought this was just a simple headline. They don't know the extent of the
00:44devastation that took place on October 7th. And I thought the actions that we saw in front of
00:51the exhibit was just despicable. They wanted to—the people who were there wanted to
00:57put—hurt, to use those comments, to wave Hezbollah and Hamas, terrorist organizations
01:04that should be destroyed. I was extremely troubled by that. I spoke with the hierarchy
01:11of the police department yesterday, when the videos came out to me, and they informed me
01:17of the actions. And I'm going to take a visit down there. I'm going to try to get there before
01:22it closes the next day or so. I was there when it first opened. But just—I thought it was
01:27despicable. It was disgusting, what we saw. And you cannot call for peace while you're celebrating
01:35what happened on October 7th.
