For the second time in recent history, a mob of protesters stormed a building on Capitol Hill and disrupted official proceedings. But Glenn doubts anything will be done in response to this "insurrection" because it can't be blamed on Donald Trump. This time, it was pro-Palestinian protesters, including a Jewish group, fueled by Democratic politicians including Rep. Rashida Tlaib. But this is just one of many recent protests in support of Palestinians and Hamas over Israel. Others on college campuses have called for Palestinian revolution "from the river to the sea." Glenn reviews the latest news and asks, are university campuses breeding antisemitism?

GLENN: You know the story. I'm sorry I have to drag you through this again. But I just have to set this up with the truth of what happened.

Okay.

A throng of extremists gathered together in the mall in Washington. A politician comes out, and just starts just spouting lies, and untruths.

And blah, blah, blah.

You know. Then everybody gets together. And there's -- you know, a -- an insurrection. They go into the Capitol. They try to block official proceedings.

And then, well, in this case, nothing will happen because it's not Donald Trump.

I want you to listen to Rashida Tlaib, and what she said yesterday. In Washington (?) (?)

VOICE: To bomb a hospital. Where children. You know what's so hard sometimes is watching those videos, and -- and the people telling the kids, don't cry. And like let them cry.

And they're shaking. And you know this, they keep telling them not to cry.

GLENN: Oh, there she is.

VOICE: They can cry. I can cry. We can all cry. If we're not crying, something is wrong.

GLENN: Yeah.

VOICE: And so I'm telling you right now, President Biden, not all America is with us on this one. And you need to make up and understand that.

GLENN: Uh-oh. Is she threatening the president? Then she's threatening the president. This angry extremist crowd then goes to the Capitol, and they fill the House building. Do we have any of the video. There it is.

They have taken over the House. And they are trying to disrupt proceedings.

Oh, my goodness. It is an insurrection.

Now, you would say, well, the -- the thing with Donald Trump was, he was lying to the people. About, you know, he -- he lost the election.

Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

Well, you know, the one thing you don't have is actual proof, that he was lying or lying knowingly. He had a lot of people tell him.

But, you know, you can't -- I can't play the video for you.

But in this particular case, I can play the video for you.

In fact, it sucks to be Hamas, there's an audio translation of eavesdropping on the -- on Hamas.

The night the hospital was bombed. And here's what they picked up.

Listen. I'm telling you, this is the first time we see a missile like this falling. And so that's why we are saying, it belongs to the Palestinian Islamic jihad. What?

They're saying it belongs to the Palestinian jihad. HEP is it from us?

It looks like it.

Who says this?

They're saying that the shrapnel from the missile is local shrapnel. And not Israeli shrapnel.

What are you saying?

God bless, it could have found another place to explode.

Never mind. Yes. They shot it from a cemetery, from behind the hospital.

What?

They shot it from the cemetery, behind the hospital. That misfired and fell on them.

There's a cemetery behind it?

Yes. It's exactly. It's in the compound.

Where is it when you enter the compound?

You first enter the compound, don't go towards the city it's on the right side.

Oh, yeah. I know it.

Okay. That's Hamas confirming themselves to another Hamas member, yeah. It looks like us. It looks like us. Because we're firing behind the hospital.

Oh. Wow. Okay.

That's pretty bad.

STU: Well, and look, they should have made this information, that you're talking about, available to the media.

Then they could have corrected their reports.

GLENN: Yeah. They did. They did.

And they also showed the video of it being launched, and then landing, on the hospital.

STU: Only from multiple different angles.

Why didn't they -- you ever see one of those cool movies. Like an action movie.

They put a camera right on the missile. It's flying.

Going right at the person.

Why don't they show us that camera?

STU: Yeah. Exactly right.

GLENN: So Rashida Tlaib. Is anything going to happen?

Is anything going to happen to her?

Is she going to be impeached for inciting an insurrection? Anything?

I just want you to know.

STU: Does she at least get a nomination for best actress out of it? That's the least we could do. It was really good --

GLENN: Yeah. Oh, my gosh. Is that an audio of her? Yeah. It's crazy.

STU: I was inspired by her performance there.

GLENN: That's really good.

So let me just take you through some things that are happening on college campuses, because of this.

Here are University of Pennsylvanian students chanting in favor of Hamas.

I just want you to hear what they're saying.

(music)
Yeah. There it is. There it is. Israel, Israel, you can't hide. We charge you with genocide.

And the last part of it?

There's only one solution.

What is that solution?

STU: Maybe a final one. The final solution.

GLENN: The final solution. I don't know. That's a stretch to think they may have been reaching for that. I mean, they're chanting about a final solution, at the university of Pennsylvania. You have a kid there, bring them home. Bring them home. Stop paying them. You have a kid in a university, stop it. Stop. What are you doing? Sincerely, what are you doing?

STU: How do you? What's the line there? Obviously --

GLENN: If that college is doing anything like this. What are you doing?

STU: Yeah. If they're allowing that to go on. Look, we all talked about in history, how the First Amendment protects let's say, the KKK. From having a rally. Right?

GLENN: Yes.

STU: But I don't just it protects them from calling for genocide of -- of African-Americans, does it? I mean, I don't think so.

It's -- calling for outward violence on a megaphone, seems a little bit more direct than what they've attempted to charge Donald Trump with on January 6th. Where he says, hey, peacefully go to the Capitol. They're like, that means he wants to overthrow the government.

GLENN: So there's a great article today. I want to get this woman on.

But I don't know if she will come on. I want you to listen to this op-ed. This is from the New York Post.

The blatant anti-Semitism on college campuses has shocked millions of Americans over the past week and a half, but not me.

I saw anti-Semitism, on a weekly basis in my two years as a faculty, diversity, equity, and inclusion director.

In fact, I can safely say, that toxic DEI ideology, deliberately stokes hatred towards Israel and the Jewish people.

I was hired to head the DEI Department in Silicon Valley's Deanza HEP College in 2021.

As a black woman, I was the perfect person for the job on paper.

Yet, I made the mistake of actually trying to create an authentically exclusive environment for everybody, including the Jewish students.

Turns out a toxic form of DEI, which is more accurately called critical social justice, demanded I do the opposite.

Before I got to campus, Jewish students had endured a litany of hateful and hostile acts. The school had hosted a Hanukkah party that features no Hanukkah imagery, but plenty of pro-Palestinian protesters.

The student body had passed resolutions on divesting from Israel, the first college of its kind to do so.

And criticizing Israel's attacks against humanity. Quote, unquote.

Multiple Jewish students told me, that the campus was essentially an anti-Semitic environment.

I tried to right this wrong.

First, I hosted Jewish speakers on campus. With the goal of promoting diversity and inclusion. By sharing different perspectives. Critics called me, quote, a dirty Zionist.

And the school refused to promote the events.

Then I pushed the administration to issue strong condemnation of anti-Semitism. My request was refused.

Some campus leaders and colleagues repeatedly told me, I shouldn't raise issues about Jewish inclusion or anti-Semitism. I was told in no uncertain terms, that Jews were white oppressors. And our job as faculty and staff members perform was to decenter whiteness.

I was astounded, but I shouldn't have been.

At its worst, DEI is built on the unshakeable belief that the world is divided into two groups of people. The oppressors and the oppressed.

Jews are categorically placed in the oppressor category while Israel is branded a genocidal settler, a colonialist state.

In this worldview, criticizing Israel and the Jewish people is not only acceptable, but praiseworthy. Just as it's okay to attack America and white people.

If you don't go after them, or worse, if you defend them, you're actively abetting racist oppression. I've never encountered a more hostile environment towards the members of any racial, ethnic, or religious group.

I was ultimately fired by Deanna HEP College. And I suspect my HEP played a part.

Yet, I subsequently found that my experience is not unique. Countless faculty and students on campuses, nationwide, have told me, that DEI ideology, encourages anti-Semitism.

One study found 96 percent of Israel-focused tweets by campus DEI staff, criticized the Jewish state. 96 percent.

And that was before Hamas launched its brutal assault on Israel this month.

Now the colleges and universities beholden to DEI are hurting Jewish students and their silence.

Their moral equivocation about terrorism about Israel, or their outright praise of the terrorists.

Many of the student groups most invested in DEI. Are actively siding with Hamas.

Look no further than white coats for black lives. A national group of medical students, who chaptered more than 100 public and private universities.

On Tuesday, just after Hamas murdered Jewish families in their beds.

The DEI-driven group proudly declared it has long supported Palestine's struggle for liberation.

How could a Jewish patient ever trust a medical trainee or a professional who subscribes to such blatant anti-Semitic hatred?

It's tantamount to threatening their lives. And it raises questions about whether hate-filled people should practice medicine. Why?

They did it in Germany. It was fine. This outpouring of anti-Semitic hatred is a direct result of DEI's insistence that Jews are oppressors.

What started with rhetorical attacks has morphed into defending and calling for violent attacks.

It's inevitable for an ideology, that demeans an entire group of people. While accusing them of perpetrating massive injustice. When you stoke that kind of division and anger, you unleash fires you cannot control.

Sure enough, the fire of anti-Semitism is now burning bright on college campuses.

It needs to be extinguished, immediately so it doesn't spread and do more damage.

I know just the place to start. Administrators and lawmakers need to get toxic DEI out of higher education.

If they don't, there will be no true diversity or inclusion on campus. But there will be even more shocking hatred towards the Jews.
