I still love Michael, despite his libertarian shortcomings. I just have a lot of disagreements on this issue. You guys will have no idea how many times Michael and I argue back and forth in this. And I feel bad because he has to sit there. He can't talk about it. He doesn't have a mic. He says, just wait for the new studio. And he's right about that. Well, he'll interject a little bit.
He'll give me some pushback. And it'll be like what it's like at the dinner table at home with us. But guys, libertarianism, it's not the answer. All right. I do want to cover the story everyone has been talking about this week. I haven't gotten to it. Now I feel like I have to give my take here because I've spent some time thinking about it.
So a guy named Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian, so a foreigner activist and a Columbia University graduate, previous graduate student, was detained this week by ICE. Now, Khalil was involved in spearheading the Columbia protests. last spring, which included essentially occupying parts of campus and restricting freedom of movement for other students.
No formal charges have been filed against this man, but in a statement to NBC News on Sunday, a DHS security spokesperson, DHS spokesperson said Khalil was arrested in coordination with ICE and the State Department, quote, in support of President Trump's executive orders prohibiting antisemitism, end quote. They are detaining him officially for being antisemitic.
And in a statement on Truth, quote, President Trump described Khalil as pro-Hamas, which is a terrorist organization, of course. And per federal law, I did some digging into this. I actually was like, what does the language really say? So I can actually know what's going on here. And an immigrant here on a visa can be deported for engaging, and this is a quote, engaging in a terrorist activity.
And it's pretty broad what is a terrorist activity. It doesn't mean that you're carrying out terrorist acts necessarily. This law says, and I'm going to, again, quote you guys, endorsing or espousing terrorist activity or persuading others to endorse or espouse terrorist activity or support a terrorist organization. So it's very broad.
It doesn't mean that he's a member of Hamas, but if he is doing things that seem to be supportive of Hamas or he's encouraging others to do things that are somewhat supportive of Hamas, that is grounds for deportation. And this kid is actually, if he is a supporter of Hamas's admin, again, totally in their right to deport him. I read it. I read it to you guys out loud. Like, they have the right.
I will say, though, I haven't personally seen any evidence that Khalil is explicitly pro-Hamas. But it's possible that the admin will come out with some more evidence once the real charges have been brought against him, if there will be charges brought against him. So we'll see on that front.
Again, I'm not, I wouldn't be surprised if he was explicitly pro-Hamas as he was spearheading this organization and he's a Palestinian student. We don't know though. And I'm just going to be real with you guys. I actually personally don't think the government should need criminal charges to deport aliens, legal or illegal, in this country. I don't even think they need to be terror sympathizers.
I think that the government can just deport you for any reason whatsoever if you are an alien in this country. You don't have the same rights as citizens. I don't know why this is confusing for people, but you don't have the same rights as U.S. citizens.
Now, nobody can kill you, nobody can rape you and hurt you and violate basic human rights, but the right to be in this country, that's reserved for citizens. Nobody has a right to be here unless you are an American citizen. You don't. Not everyone seems to agree with this. This is completely... flies in the face of a federal law in reality, but whatever, that's a lot of people these days.
So there are a lot of people acting absolutely hysterical on the left about this young man being detained by ICE. And I want you to look at them losing their minds at Tom Holman yesterday in the New York State Capitol. This is very deranged. Take a listen. they're screaming like they're they're completely they've completely lost their minds and guys i gotta tell you
When I saw that, but especially when I saw those protests last spring, I had a really unexpected visceral reaction. I didn't think I was going to feel this way. Who knows what I was going to feel? But I was flooded with these memories of when I was in college and I was abused by these little Marxist scolds because I didn't conform with them politically. I didn't agree with them ideologically.
And so they were horrible to me. It reminded me of being in college and getting death threats and constant online harassment from people who I previously thought were my friends. It brought back so many memories. It was like I knew that type of student that was occupying the campus and it was just, it brought back a lot.
seeing them occupy campuses, restrict movement, replace the American flag with the Palestinian one, it was enraging. And I was really proud of my friends who were still on campus. Last spring, who I'd been in school with, they really stood up for this country during that time.
I can't even describe to you guys how proud I was of my friends who were still there, because there was a similar occupation at the University of Chicago like what they had at Columbia. Here's my friend Mitch Robson trying to just get to class and being completely inhibited by these students who have just taken over.
Hey, what's up, man? I'm passing through.
And then you have these masked individuals coming up and covering. You're trying to inhibit him, stopping him from moving.
Mitch is a libertarian, I will say, you guys. But I love Mitch. He's awesome. Now, so it gets even better, and I'm going to tell you why I was actually really proud of my friends at UChicago. Mitch was just walking through campus. He was like, I don't care. I'm going to get through it. Mitch, by the way, is a Jewish student. He was like, I'm just going to walk through.
You guys aren't going to stop me from using my campus. And kudos to him for being that brave. Some of my friends, including Mitch, still on campus, actually confronted these pro-Palestine students because they were going to take down the palestinian flag off the flagpole on campus and raise up the american flag take a look It was a frat bro protest.
