4:05 pm
roary, let's start with you. what made you decide to take that stand? >> well, it was pretty much on the spur of the moment. i was -- my friends got me out of bed, told me something was hang on campus. i ran over and i saw that it was pretty much chaos before smashing in the windows, massive mob gathered outside of hamilton hall. piling up chairs on the inside and that sort of thing. so, i wanted just kind of off the cuff of it wanted to show that i disapproved of what was going on. this was completely inappropriate, destroying property of our university and that this is not at all the way that we ought to conduct ourselves in any sort of discourse and so i basically -- i just wanted to register my protest against their protest, that's what i was telling them when they were yelling at me and say i'll protest your protest. i'm free to do that. [chanting shut it down] >> laura: charles, you actually got dragged away i understand at

[shouting] [chanting shut it down] >> laura: charles, one of your friends said something to you that convinced you to move away at that point. what was said? >> yeah. that's a good friend of mine who i have known for quite a couple years. so, essentially he was really just quite scared for my health and safety. you know, he sort of had a top, top field vision of it. he was afraid that if i -- if i had remained there that the crowd would have caused me serious bodily injury, even death. and essentially what he whispered to me was something along the lines of don't be
4:07 pm
stupid. don't get martyred for a building. sort of the -- you know, the idea that perhaps well, perhaps it wasn't worth getting that injured. but, you know, i can certainly see where he was coming from. you know, perhaps part of the sort of the move here was to -- i wasn't really thinking to be entirely honest with you about my own health and safety. i was more so just thinking of, i mean, i don't know, thinking that someone needed to say something, ideally someone at our university could sort of say that well they didn't agree with what was happening. and they understood something fundamentally wrong. >> laura: they don't want to debate, rory. sorry, they don't want to debate. they want their way or the highway. no debate at all. you guys were frankly potential road kill if you got in the way of that. and you told one of our producers, rory, that i guess you thought someone might have been following you on your walk home from hamilton hall? is that the case?
4:08 pm
>> yeah. it's hard to know. there were a lot of shady people going around outside of campus. there were people in the crowd there that i'm not sure if they were students. but definitely on the outside. there was footage of people climbing into john j. hall outside of campus. all in black. and yeah, there was a car that was full of masked people who seemed to be keeping an eye on us. i'm not entirely sure, but we stayed together as a group with some of our friends to make sure that we got back safely. >> laura: well, i heard both of you had a run-in with this professional protester, this woman lisa fithian. watch this. >> students of this university are free to stand here in public. public. >> yes, you are. >> we have way more of a right, we have way more of a right to do what we are doing than any of these people have to destroy this building. >> no one is destroying a building. building. >> i beg to differ.

4:10 pm
university. >> laura: roary, what is your message to the board of trustees tonight who could have shut this thing down a week ago? >> my message would be that they just need to get things under control and give graduating seniors their commencement. it really -- seniors, people who are seniors right now have gone through a lot in their college career. and so it's the least that they can do to just get things under control and allow people to finish up their college career with an actual graduation. >> laura: rory and charles, come to me if you need work, because we're always looking for brave students. fantastic. fantastic. good work. and thank you for actually representing normal america. all right. we wanted to learn more about that woman, our previous guest had a run-in with. here is another interaction with her.

[chanting 1, 2, 3, 4. >> we are being -- >> laura: that's lisa fithian, 63 years old, and a professional protest consultant. yeah. yeah. is that on linkedin who has been arrested more than 80 times. badge of honor for her. her causes range from occupy wall street, snore to climate change, bore, and the current free palestine, yes, they want more. now, she has been training this activist generation for years. and last night she was caught instructing students what to do. >> i can't help you with that. >> you got to flip that -- yeah. right to the wall. cameras back. cameras back. >> joining me now founder and editor. ire remarks moments before this
4:12 pm
interview, the nypd actually showed videos of fithian today and mentioned how the tactics of protesters have changed after training sessions with that person, that mother jones once called professor occupy. so, what benefit does someone like this woman get by training protesters is she making money off of this or just power. >> some of the people involved are being paid money. i had a piece in the "wall street journal" recently about how they are advertising for fellows to be paid $3,000 for three months of 8 hours a week of work on campuses and some of the people who have been involved, quite prominently in these protests have been paid fellows with hundreds of thousands of dollars from the soros open society foundation and the rockefeller brothers fund, so there is big money behind these protests.
4:13 pm
you know, whether they can make more money doing other things, probably. probably. it's a combination of getting paid and i don't know living out some fantasy. >> laura: ire remarks let me tell you my two cents on this. she's like -- she is kind of in between the woodstock generation, right, and the current protest. no man's land i need to find relevant. relevant. she found it like some of them do in this deeply anti-american cohort. and this is the ballgame for them. it's not really about money for most of them. it's about taking down the country and the institutions that matter columbia thought they could play ball with these people as did all of these colleges. i will get into this in my angle. the monster coming to eat dr. frankenstein and it's ugly. >> it's a mess.
4:14 pm
and, you know, it's the same crowds that the black lives matter protests, at the anti-trump protest. go back to the anti-persian gulf war protest under george h.w. bush. the anti-iraq war protest under george w. bush. it's the same people out protesting. protesting. i have seen them there just like to protest. you and i play sports or go to religious service. this is an activity for these people. and, you know, until the revolution is accomplished, they are not going to stop. or until they are in jail. >> these are printed posters. not like hand made posters doing off the cuff. how much of this is astro turf. how much of this is organic? >> yeah. i think it's a mix. it's certainly the same tactics we are seeing on campuses around the country, same slogans, same tents like. >> laura: same signage. >> an on the same day.
4:15 pm
yeah. absolutely. very well coordinated dr. is google drives putting out talking points. they have a monday evening meeting to coordinate around the country. the ads for these fellows say you have to be available at this time every week to come meet and plan what the activities are. >> ire remarks thank you. we can rename that meeting, that online meeting they have as the doom zoom, okay? we will call it that from now on. these people are pathetic. you are not going to want to miss the angling. i especially loved it tonight about this madness plastic is not wasted... but instead remade over and over... into the things that keep our food fresher, our families safer, and our planet cleaner. to help us get there, america's plastic makers are investing billions of dollars

minouche shafik who heads up columbia should have been fired long ago. does anyone living and breathing on god's green earth believe she landed her job totally because of objective merit? if she were a white male with a border of trustees, even of considered hiring her? and speaking of the board of trustees, notice you haven't heard from any of them. some prestigious people including former obama dhs secretary jeh johnson, david greenwald, former chairman of goldman sachs. adam pritzker, cousin of billionaire illinois governor j.b. j.b. and a leftist organizer in his own right. and many, many other ultra liberal types have governing authority at the university as a member of the board of trustees. and, yet, they are all silent. talk about profiles in courage. every time a deadline was set for the brats to disperse, it was ignored.

brats -- and, believe me they are all privileged at their protest had anything to do with normal americans or republicans or trump voters. everything you're see something entirely the result of the liberal establishment. they run all of the universities, they select the students. they hire the deans and the faculty. and they wanted to turn these schools into hot beds of radicalism. they didn't want to teach them the best of western civilization. they think that's all racist. they didn't want to teach the humanities, that's a bunch of dead old white guys. they didn't want to teach the truth about our history, which is rich and complex, but it is not evil. they wanted to teach them to spew anti-american bile wherever they went. and, guess what? it worked. they have taught these kids to hate their own country. hate law and order, and oppose anything that is good, anything that is decent, anything that is traditional and anything that is truly productive.

what you're seeing on campuses is the natural outcome of liberal policies over decades. this is the fruit of their labor. and until there is a real liberal reawakening, this isn't just going to continue, this thing is going to metastasize. and that's the angle. ♪ joining me now my old boss, who is not old, but he is my former boss. former secretary of education, former drug czar bill bennett. bill, it's so great to see you tonight. i thought of you all day long as i was watching these scenes unfold. unfold. >> thank you. >> laura: what are the colleges responsible for here in how these students are behaving on campuses across the country? >> actually, what they should be responsible for and let me correct current secretary cardona said the first duty is to protect students. no, it isn't. the first duty is to educate

i'm asking you a simple question. question. have you reconsidered? i reconsider things all the time. time. there is nothing wrong with that. >> i think it's important right now for everybody to be working to get president trump elected. that's the thing that's most important. i'm not fighting for him to get reelected because of some idea of working in a cabinet. i got one of the greatest jobs in the world right now as governor of north dakota. being a governor under president trump, being a governor under joe biden every american should see what that was like. one was wind at the back and now we have this gale force wind in our face where joe biden unelected bureaucrats are trying to crush our economy. they are trying to crush energy production in the united states. they are starting foreign wars. and now we have got mayhem on august of our campuses. it's all about getting president trump elected. >> laura: well, that is a very diplomatic answer and i think it's wise, governor, very quickly, your message billionaires across this country, so many of them are adamantly supporting biden still, especially the wall street types.

i know you know a lot of these folks. what's your message, quickly tonight? tonight? >> well, i wish that they had gotten to know president trump the way the first lady and i have. have. when you see someone who cares this deeply about this country, what is he going through and what the democrats and the liberal media is putting him through, and how he gets up and fights for everyday people in america every day, and then his policies are all in the right direction. direction. if you are a billionaire and you care about your shareholders and care about your family and care about your grandkids, you had should be voting for someone that is going to bring prosperity to america and peace to the world. that's what president trump is going to do. that's what he did for us when he was president. >> laura: governor burgum, sorry it was short tonight. we will have you again. this middle school girl has courage refused to compete against a biological making. guess what? she is here next t o explain. ♪ they should be done.

that west virginia's transgender sports van discriminates against becky, a 13-year-old biological male, five brade middle schoolers said enough is enough. the girls did not want to compete against a biological male in their sport so one by one during the county championships, members of the school's shot put team stepped in and then stepped out in protest of the transgender athlete competing. so not a big surprise here but bakke went on to win the contest, beating second-place by more than 3 feet, which is a lot in that sport, in those five girls who protested, guess what, they were suspended from competing in the next track meet so where are all the outrage go power feminists? joining me now is one of the middle school or her protests along with her parents. a to see you tonight. that was what i would have done. i was an athlete in my day in high school and in college and a pretty brave thing for you to do but what made you decide to
4:57 pm
essentially just forfeit your chances of winning? >> so really last year was when we thought about it. me and my dad worked sharing ideas and he said if i were you i would just step out. that kind of really stuck with me clear up until this year and then he started winning and it was making everybody angry and i was like well now's the perfect time to do it if i were to do it. >> let's go to your dad. look, the transgender athlete wins the competition by 3 feet, who knows if this athlete was trying his or her hardest year but that was a pretty big victory. what do you say about that "victory" sir? >> will is just -- is just the way -- the way he throws is unlike the girls. they have their stances down and they put everything into it. this is just a turn and throw to where it shows the man's
4:58 pm
strength is much greater than the girls. >> the vitriol being spewed of the girls who decided this isn't what they signed up for is quite shocking in the era of feminism and girl power and girls can do anything. as a mom, and i'm a mom of three teenagers, one teenage girl, what do you say tonight to mothers out there? >> it's so hard to have the courage that she's shown and just to stand up for what she believes in and for people that call her hateful, like, we've just try to instill in her love and to show love towards everyone. she did not even mean any disrespect towards this child or the family. we wanted to do it in a peaceful loving wait to stand up for what she believes in and just be a
4:59 pm
christian in doing that. >> apparently the only people who can stand up for what they believe in our the transgender athletes and their parents. you guys don't have any rights. middle school boys, i know you know this but our viewers don't, they throw the 8-pound shot put and the girls throw the 6-pound shotput so to explain to us the unfair advantage that a biological male then would have in throwing that lighter ball. >> well i mean it's obvious that males are physically superior to women. so in that he's going to be throwing something lighter which is ultimately going to be easier for him to throw. >> i guess you don't need a ph.d. in physics to figure that out. i'm looking at you guys and you guys probably thought your daughter is a great athlete, she's going to go to high school, probably get noticed by a college, maybe get a scholarship and you are thinking to yourself, how is this america
5:00 pm
, let alone west virginia? i'm thinking that for you. i don't want to put words in your mouth. >> i mean i've been thinking this for a while. as a country, if we can't agree on the differences between a boy and a girl, then what are we doing with the hard subjects? >> yeah this is why kids are learning anything, we don't know the basics, just facts, basic biological facts. you are really cool and i really appreciate your coming on tonight. i know some of the girls are filing a lawsuit. you decided to handle it your own way. thank you all. thank you so much. that is it for us tonight. want to thank you for being with us. follow me on social media and remember it is america now and forever and jesse takes it from here. welcome to "jesse watters primetime". tonight,..
