THEY MAY CARRY HIGHLY INFECTIOUS AND DEADLY DISEASES. [SHOUTING AND CHANTING] >> Ainsley: PRO-PALESTINIAN CHANTS RINGING OUT IN CORNELL UNIVERSITY AT THE LIBRARY THERE ECHOING THE HORROR SEEN ACROSS COLLEGE CAMPUSES LAST SPRING. UNIVERSITIES ARE BRACING FOR A NEW WAVE OF PROTESTS. JOINING US NOW FORMER RETIRED NYPD INSPECTOR AND LAWYER PAUL MAURO. THEY AREN'T SHY ABOUT TELLING EVERYBODY WE'RE GOING TO DO THESE PROTESTS. THIS FALL. THE PROTESTORS INTEND TO BRING THE PAIN TO THE UNIVERSITY. >> SOME INSTANCES THIS HAS ALREADY STARTED. THEY HAVE DONE VANDALISM, SOME PROTESTS UP AT COLUMBIA, WHICH SEEMS TO BE BECOMING GROUND 0 FOR THIS STUFF. WE'VE HAD A NUMBER OF THINGS ALREADY HAPPEN. FOR INSTANCE, PRO-ISRAEL GROUPS HAVE ALREADY PROTESTED AND MARCHED DEMANDING THAT THE PROTESTORS ON THE OTHER SIDE UNMASK THEMSELVES. WHY? NEW YORK CITY IS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS AND THEY MAY BE PASSING A LAW THAT PROTESTORS CAN'T KEEP THEIR MASKS ON. SO ALL THIS STUFF NOW IS GOING VERY MUCH INTO THE LEGAL REALM. COLUMBIA HAD TO SETTLE A CLASS ACTION SUIT. IT IS COMING AND BE IN THE LEGAL WORLD AND ON THE STREET. AS WE SAW AT THE DNC LAST WEEK NOT JUST ABOUT GAZA. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT A LOT OF OUR VIEWERS MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND IS THAT YEAH, IT IS -- THE PRIMARY CAUSE HERE IS THE GAZA ISSUE. WITHOUT ANY NUANCE. THEY JUST WANT ISRAEL GONE. THERE IS NO WAY THE ADJACENT GROUPS WILL LET THIS GO ON WITHOUT GETTING INVOLVED. A LOT OF GROUPS THAT ARE MORE VOLATILE AND WHAT POLICE DEPARTMENTS ARE WORRIED ABOUT. >> Dana: MAYBE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS SHOULD BE, TOO. IVY LEAGUE PRESIDENTS WHO RESIGNED AMIDST PROTESTS, A LIST OF THEM HERE FROM PENN, HARVARD, CORNELL AND COLUMBIA. SO WHAT WOULD THE NEW UNIVERSITY PRESIDENTS DO DIFFERENTLY THIS YEAR THAN BEFORE? >> THEY'VE STARTED. A NUMBER OF THE SCHOOLS HAVE PUT IN MANDATORY TRAINING FOR NEW STUDENTS COMING IN OR RETURNING. YOU HAVE TO TAKE A CLASS ON ESSENTIALLY THE FIRST AMENDMENT BUT ALSO WHAT YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DO AND WHAT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO. THE THING THAT THEY SEEM TO BE TRYING TO HOLD THE LINE ON IS ENCAMPMENTS. THEY DON'T WANT THOSE PERMANENT ENCAMPMENTS WHERE YOU HAVE KIDS ENTRENCHED AND YOU HAVE TO PEEL THEM OUT. AN INTERESTING THING GOING ON RELATIVE. STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE IN PALESTINIAN IS ONE OF THE GROUPS VERY INVOLVED IN THE PROTESTING. THEIR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT HAS BEEN ONE OF THE WAYS THE GROUPS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO COORDINATE. WELL, THE NUMBER OF THOSE CHAPTERS OF THE STUDENTS FOR JUSTICE OF PALESTINIAN HAVE HAD THEIR INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS SUSPENDED, TAKEN DOWN. COLUMBIA IS ONE OF THEM. A COUPLE OTHER SCHOOLS THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT ALL ONCE. NOT AN ACCIDENT. YOU HAVE TO WONDER IS IT RELATIVE TO WHAT WE SEE GOING ON IN TELEGRAM? THAT'S THE SAME ISSUE BECAUSE TELEGRAM WAS ANOTHER WAY THAT THESE GROUPS COORDINATED. SO YOU ARE SEEING A NUMBER OF THINGS. I'M NOT SURE THE TELEGRAM THING IS RELATED TO THIS BUT PART OF A TREND WHERE THE COMMUNICATIONS ARE BEING SHUT DOWN OR CLOSELY SCRUTINIZED BECAUSE SOME ILLEGALITY IS COMING OUT OF THEM AND THERE IS LIABILITY THERE. >> Dana: DO YOU THINK ANY OF THOSE STUDENTS PROTESTING FOR PALESTINIANS WOULD EXPLAIN HAMAS HOLDING A BEDOUIN MAN FOR THE LAST 11 MONTHS, FATHER OF SEVEN. THIS IS NOT A JEWISH GUY, ISRAELIS RESCUED HIM. THIS MORNING I WAS LISTENING TO THE DAILY AND THE HOST MISSPOKE AND SHE SAID YESTERDAY WHEN THE HOSTAGE WAS RELEASED. NO, MA'AM, NOT RELEASED. HE WAS RESCUED. I DON'T THINK THOSE STUDENTS HAVE ANY IDEA. >> MOST OF THE STUDENTS PROTESTING OR VERY MANY OF THEM COULDN'T FIND GAZA ON A MAP OF GAZA. THEY WOULDN'T NO A BEDOUIN IF HE SAT ON THEIR HEADS, ALL RIGHT? A LOT OF THIS HAVING BEEN OUT THERE EMBEDDED WITH THEM AT THE DNC LAST WEEK. A LOT OF THEM THIS IS JUST THE FLAVOR OF THE DAY. YOU CAN SEE THE DISTINCTION IF YOU ARE UP CLOSE BETWEEN THE VARIOUS GRIPE GROUPS AND WHO REALLY, REALLY CARES. YOU CAN SEE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE A REAL VESTED INTEREST IN GAZA AND YOU CAN SEE THE OTHERS THAT ARE ALONG FOR THE RIDE BECAUSE IT IS THIS YEAR'S FLAVOR. THE BOTTOM LINE IS COLUMBIA DIDN'T EXPEL ANYBODY FROM LAST YEAR. ALL THE CHARGES WERE DROPPED AGAINST EVERYBODY INCLUDING THE ONES WHO VANDALIZED AND OCCUPIED THE HALL AND HELD A CUSTODIAN HOSTAGE AND NEVER CHARGED FOR ANY OF THOSE CRIMES. THEY WERE NOT CHARGED. >> Dana: HE WASN'T EVEN A STUDENT. >> NO KIDNAPPING, NO UNLAWFUL IMPRISONMENT. NO CHARGES LIKE THAT. BRAGG'S OUT WAS WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE. IT'S ALL ON FILM. THAT GOES TO THE MASKS AND THEY SHOULD PASS THAT MASK LAW. >> Dana: IS THAT IMMINENT? >> IT IS POSSIBLE. BUT OF COURSE THERE ARE VESTED INTERESTS WHO DON'T WANT IT BECAUSE THEY SAY IT WILL STILL THE FIRST AMENDMENT. THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR BEING AN OCTOBER SURPRISE FOR THE ELECTION. NATIONWIDE IT COULD GET MESSY. >> Dana: I SUSPE
