Here's something annoying, maybe even more than annoying. This got my attention. So Columbia University has not expelled a single student after the occupied campus buildings, all of the amazingly brutal rhetoric against Jews, and generally a disgraceful public exposition. Not one student at Columbia has been expelled. And nobody's been charged, even though the students violated all kinds of private property. So we decided to investigate. Of the 22 students

arrested for occupying and vandalizing Columbia's historic Hamilton Hall on April 30th, 2024, 18 out of the 22 are in good standing. Three others, suspended, one on probation. Now, that's just outrageous. And that tells you what Columbia University has devolved into. On the legal front, Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA, has done nothing, dismissed all the cases, 46 people arrested in the riot. Bragg said, no, we're not going to go, we don't have enough evidence, even though there was videotape evidence all day long. And this is a standard procedure in Alvin Bragg's office. He doesn't prosecute crimes that he doesn't believe are worthy.

That's why you have massive shoplifting, why you have open drug use, open drug sales, urinating on in public and you on and on and on where i won't do anything about it nothing no such thing is deserving the peace disorderly behavior he just doesn't take it won't prosecute it and the thugs know it now there were many demonstration across the country um there were 3142 to be exact between april 18th and June 4th. And these were pro-Hamas, anti-Jewish demonstrations. All right. Eight police officers were hurt, three million in damage, and, you know, small business, all of that stuff. And we can't find anybody who's gone to jail. Nobody.

All right? All the cases were dropped. And if you know of one, if I'm making a mistake, let us know because we have researched not only in New York, but in California and other places where these demonstrations took place. So this is why we have social order in the United States. I should say social disorder. I wish we had social order. And particularly in the urban areas where we live, New York City, largest city in the country. If the authorities, the district attorneys are not going to prosecute arrests made by the police,

police, you have energy. And that's what we have. So even if you are punched in the face by someone or otherwise hurt, pushed the ground, we saw that yesterday, he talked about the WINS reporter, WINS reporter, nothing will happen to you. And the legislature under Governor Cuomo, they passed and Cuomo signed no bail. So you can be violent. You can disrupt. You can threaten. You can ruin people's lives. Remember, if you are a crime victim, you will never forget that, particularly if you're a kid. Now, I had my house broken into one time years ago. I have never forgot that. Never forgot it. And I was so angry. And of course, police never. Even today, if you were living in a suburb of New York City and someone, broke into your house, they would have to be caught there for anything to happen to them. The cops are just overwhelmed. They're not going to track down who broke into your house.

And again, the criminals know all this. They can steal a car and then won't be held. So why not? If you're a criminal, a drug addict, and most of the crimes are committed by drug addicts, why not? Nothing going to happen to you. and that's what we have. Social disorder.
