00:00So I should say yes or no answer, please. I personally find it unacceptable our current
00:06President should be called cops and riot gear on to her own students. It was an atrocious
00:31case of overreach. We encouraged her to take immediate action and stamp this out. Our feeling
00:43is that they have not acted to restore order on the campus. This is dangerous. Our first
00:48witness is Dr. Manoush Shafiq, who is President of Columbia University. Anti-Semitism has no
00:54place on our campus and I am personally committed to doing everything I can to confront it directly.
01:01My approach to these issues is informed in part by my own experiences.
01:32Manoush Shafiq, shame on you!
01:37You're arresting students too!
