Protests have spread on many campuses, and today’s show breaks down these stupid pro-Hamas rallies.

On Tuesday morning dozens of protestors sized Hamilton Hall at Columbia by breaking a window, resulting in the NYPD raiding the campus and taking them into custody. Subsequently, many Progressives, including AOC, criticized these actions, claiming that authorities should use a “de-escalatory path.”

“These protesters started it and they started it violently,” Crowder said. “They escalate it themselves in the absence of police.”

Many on the left have claimed that these protests will be looked back on as similar to college Vietnam War protests in the 60s and 70s. However, history and public opinion polls show that these protests are always viewed negatively by the general public and do significantly more harm than good to their cause.

The protests against U.S. involvement in Vietnam were also seen negatively by the vast majority of Americans at the time. A series of polls in the spring of 1971 conducted by Opinion Research Corporation for President Nixon found support for antiwar demonstrations in Washington ranging from 30 percent while the protests were in the planning stages to 18 percent during the event, with between 64 percent and 71 percent disapproving.

“I think the protestors – the hippies – have gotten into positions of power within the government, education, and the media and have now put this picture out there that they are the virtuous ones all along,” Gerald A said. “Nobody even liked these people.”

These protesters are not an objectively smart group of people.

“If people loved them back then you wouldn’t have had the red wave with Ronald Regan, the domination that came with Conservatives. They saw the leftist movement, and they rejected it,” Crowder said. “This does not represent America, it represents the DNC. That is the difference now.”

One Columbia PhD student even accused administrators of wanting “students to die of dehydration and starvation,” even though these people chose to break the law and be there. She even emphasized calling this “humanitarian aid.”

“They don’t know what humanitarian aid is,” Crowder said.

Most of these students are not risking anything by doing this and many are even trumping other people’s freedoms.

“The point of protesting is to have something at stake. In this case, it’s nothing [and many are] protesting in solidarity,” Crowder said. “They want to protest while demanding everyone fund their protest. There is no risk there, that is why there is no respect in it.”
