Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's amazing this is happening again. A second Columbia University
student who organize campus protest against the war in Gaza,
they've been arrested and detained by US Immigration and Customs enforcement.
Mo San mal Dawi, a Palestinian Green card holder who
was set to graduate from Colombia in May, was taken
(00:22):
by ice. He is in custody right now. They want
him deported, and once again, a federal judge in Vermont,
this time issued an order barring the government from moving
Madwi out of Vermont on the US pending further reveal
of the case. So he can't take him out of
(00:43):
Vermont or the US pending further review of the case.
It seems like district court judges now are running the
country and deciding our foreign policy. For more on that,
let's go to Jeffrey Licktman, high profile criminal defense attorney
and host of Beyond the Legal Limit POS podcast found
on the iHeartRadio app. Jeffrey, I'll just ask you to
(01:05):
take that and run with it.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
What do you think, Well, you know, if it's as simple,
Larry as trying to deport non citizens who are simply
leading protests against the war, it sounds kind of extreme
to want to grab them and send them back to
whatever god forsaken Muslim terror dumps that they're from.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
But that's not what's happening.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
What's happening is that these are students that are pro
Hamas and they're they'refore a Muslim terror group that's internationally prescribed,
and they're causing mayhem on college campuses. And that's really
what it is. You know, the free speech leftists will
tell you, well, you know, first Amendment, First Amendment, but
that's not what's happening here.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
Now.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
These are students that are fomenting the terrorism on campus.
They're causing violence. And with regard to the latest student
that was grabbed in Vermont, naturally he was in Vermont
because he knew that when he got grabbed that he
would have a leftist judge that would help him, which
is exactly what he did.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
But this is a.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Student that has been a college student, Larry since two
thousand and eight. He has been a college student now
for seventeen years. And the reason that's the way you
get a green card, you just continue to be a
student forever. He's thirty four years old and he's graduating Colombia.
This is like his fifth university.
Speaker 3 (02:27):
So this is what they do.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
They bring their disease over from this one is from Gaza,
or actually I think this one's from the West Bank.
He brings his disease over to America and he spreads
it whenever he can. So finally America with the president
who's had enough, mainly because the Jahada students went bonkers
after October seventh. They decided to grab these people and
(02:50):
send them back and listen. They can jihad and they
can hate Jews, and they can cause terrorism back in
their own places.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
They don't need to do it in America.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, I'm glad you brought that up, because we've been
running down the list of things that these protests did.
They Jewish students were frightened to go out of their
dorm rooms, they were being harassed as they walked to class.
Classes were canceled because them, a building was taken over,
three security guards were injured. So there's a whole list,
you could go through all the criminal charges right there, Jeffrey,
(03:22):
just because of that. So they did incite violence, and
they did harassed students, and I think at the base
of this is anti Semitism.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Well, there's no question. I mean, this all started after
October seventh. It's all been against Jewish people under the
guise of protesting a war. And there doesn't even have
to be any allegations of criminal activity. There doesn't have
to be any charges. Simply if you're a non citizen,
you can't destroy the campus, you can't harass students, you
can't disrupt classes or else. You've got to go back
(03:56):
to whatever Islami's dump that you're from, and that's you know,
And if we can I hate to segue for you, Larry,
but if we can segue into the grabbing of funds,
the stopping of federal funds that just came out against Harvard,
and Harvard pushing back against President Trump saying no, we're
not going to abide by the conditions that you're you're
putting on the federal funding, the billions of dollars that
(04:19):
you give us each year. You know, I can understand
Harvard's response. They said, look, we're angry about this, and
we're not going to give in to Trump. We're not
going to do the conditions that you're insisting in order
for us to get this federal funding. Because some of
the stuff, Larry, is pretty extreme that that Trump's administration wants.
They want to have an audit of what the students
(04:40):
and professors are thinking and how they're acting. They want
to see all of the decisions on admissions and where
the kids are coming from, and who was denied admission
and who was granted. When you look at it, if
you just look at it in a vacuum, Larry, you're thinking,
my god, what is the federal government doing. It's a
little bit too big brotherish. But then when you actually
(05:02):
see that it's not in a vacuum. And all of
this occurred after October seventh, and all the violence on campus,
not only from the Jahadas students that they let in
and why did they let them in, but also from
the professors. And what Harvard is basically saying is, look,
you want to stop two billion, up to maybe nine
billion in funding. We're willing to give that up in
(05:24):
order for us to be able to hate Jews on campus.
It's that important for us to hate Jews and cause
violence on campus. We're willing to give up the two billion.
All the Trump administration wants is they want some action
from Harvard when this was going on, and the campus
was being overrun by these Jahatas and the violence was occurring.
You couldn't hear a peep.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
From the Harvard administration.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Now, all of a sudden, when they're going to lose
their funding, suddenly they found their voice. But back then,
when this was going on, they didn't do a damn
thing to stop the Jihadis. And now when they're being
forced to pay for it, they're like, no, Now, First Amendment,
and we should be able to say it.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
We want. You know what, as far as I'm concerning Larry,
all of.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
These universities, they're almost every one of them is.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
The Ivy League.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
We've got Northwestern, We've got Georgietown, you know, all of them,
all the top schools, they're overrun by Jahadas students, Jahada's professors.
What Trump is doing is a wonderful thing. It shouldn't
be partial federal funding being withdrawn. It should be all
Let these universities. Harvard's got a fifty three billion, fifty
three billion with a B. Larry endowment. Let them use
(06:33):
that money and from all their rich alumni who still
want to fund the Jahadis university. Let them figure out
how to do all of this life saving research without
the FEDS. My view is just drain them of money,
starve them, make it so that they can no longer
function as a university. They can all disappear and in
the ashes we can arise new universities that are not
(06:56):
filled with this garbage, with this filth, with this this
these from radical Muslim countries.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Wow, I want to see you in court, that's what
how I want to see you doing all this in
court and it has to be fun. Yeah, next time
you have a big case, I want to go. I
didn't get to talk to you about Alena Hobba.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
