00:00Shabos, what do you consider to be hostile values?
00:06And do you think, is it legal that those people are deported?
00:10Well, first of all, let's be clear.
00:12No one has actually been deported except the students who self-deported.
00:15What we're talking about is being detained.
00:17I mean, you brought up Mahmoud Khalil.
00:19You could go on the ISIS website right now when we know where Mahmoud Khalil is.
00:22He's in a detention center in Louisiana.
00:24They're all having due process afforded to them.
00:26They will have to make their arguments in front of a judge.
00:29The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, raised his argument, which is that Mahmoud Khalil is in violation of his student visa.
00:35Had he been accurate on his visa application, saying that he believes in the eradication of Western civilization, which he does.
00:40He's the former negotiator or spokesman, I don't know what terminology he used, of the Columbia University Apartheid Divestment Coalition.
00:46He was in charge, or again, negotiating, while the students were occupying Hamilton Hall,
00:51which was a protest that not only vandalized private property, but also sent police officers to the hospital, took a maintenance worker hostage.
00:57So had he said that that was going to be his intention, there would be no way he would be given a student visa.
01:01I actually lived in Israel for three years on a student visa.
01:04And when I got the student visa, there was a contract I had to sign.
01:07And it basically said, well, if you don't follow our laws, we will deport you back to the United States.
01:11And that kind of made sense.
01:13It's not Islamophobic.
01:13It's not controversial.
01:14It's not bigoted.
01:15It just makes sense.
01:16You have to follow the laws of your own country.
