WASHINGTON DC AND IN THE MIDDLE EAST UPDATES ON AIR ONLINE AT THE >>DESK.COM. THANK YOU, ANGELA. MORE ANTI-ISRAEL PROTESTS RAGING ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES AS STUDENTS START THE FALL SEMESTER. YESTERDAY WAS THE FIRST DAY OF CLASSES AT NEW YORK CITY'S COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, WHERE DEMONSTRATORS TRYING TO GET STUDENTS TO PROTEST BY SKIPPING CLASS. AT LEAST 2 DEMONSTRATORS WERE ARRESTED AND AN ICONIC STATUE OUTSIDE OF COLUMBIA'S LIBRARY WAS VANDALIZED, AS YOU CAN SEE HERE COVERED IN RED PAINT. WHAT DO YOU, WHAT ARE YOU SYMPATHIZING WITH TERRORISM? JOE BIDEN, I MEAN, WHERE IS HE? HAS HE, HAS HE MADE A SPEECH ABOUT ANY? >>THING, I MEAN, AN AMERICAN JUST GOT SHOT IN THE HEAD. WHERE, WHERE, WHERE IS EVERYONE? WHERE'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY? I JUST DON'T GET IT ANYMORE. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? I, I, I MIGHT BE GOING OFF THE LAMB HERE. IF YOU'RE JEWISH AND YOU VOTE FOR DEMOCRAT, YOU'RE CRAZY. I'M SORRY, YOU'RE INSANE. REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE JD VANCE MEANTIME SLAMMING THE SCHOOL'S ADMINISTRATION FOR LETTING THOSE PROTESTS HAPPEN AGAIN IN THE FIRST PLACE. IT'S VERY SIMPLE. WE'RE GOING TO ENFORCE THE LAW. NOBODY GETS THE RIGHT TO HARASS THEIR FELLOW STUDENTS. NOBODY GETS A RIGHT TO SET UP 10 ENCAMPMENTS AND TURN THEIR COLLEGE CAMPUSES INTO >>GARBAGE DUMPS AND NOBODY GETS THE RIGHT TO BLOCK THEIR FELLOW STUDENTS FROM ATTENDING CLASS. >>HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERS ALSO RESPONDING TO THE RENEWED PROTESTS BY THREATENING TO WITHHOLD FEDERAL FUNDS FROM SCHOOLS LETTING THEM HAPPEN. NEW YORK CONGRESSWOMAN ELISAHONIX SAID IN PART, HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE DEMANDING HIGHER EDUCATION TAKE MORE DELIBERATE ACTION TO ENSURE JEWISH STUDENTS AND FACULTY ARE PROTECTED WITH STUDENTS RETURNING TO CAMPUS. IT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE CRITICAL THAT NO TAXPAYER DOLLARS
