Anti-Semitic and pro-Hamas rallies have been spreading like hateful wildfire across American universities‚ with encampments spouting up in UT Austin and Harvard on Wednesday. And on CNN News Central that afternoon‚ Harvard professor and former Obama DHS official Juliette Kayyem demanded that universities like hers “allow space” for those mini-Nuremberg rallies. “And I'm pretty clear about this‚” Kayyem declared. She demanded that schools “allow space for students to protest” in favor of Hamas. Essentially her defense of the students was ‘kid will be kids.’ “This should not be a shock to anyone with teenagers or young‚ young adult children. They have strong feelings and they’re passionate‚” she argued. Coddling the anti-Semites‚ Kayyem said they needed to be given “off ramps” before the schools cracked down on any violent rhetoric or other misconduct. As if the students didn’t agree to a Student Code of Conduct when they joined the school‚ she huffed: “You've got to give students rules about what they are and are not allowed to do. And maybe this happened at USC‚ but they have to be clear about‚ ‘Yes‚ you can protest. No‚ you can't block a building and this is what's going to happen if you block the building.’” She did admit that at some point the schools might need to consider when to get police involved. “I mean in other words‚ these kids who are violating these rules these students then have some sort of punishment and whether you need the police or something less than that is each college and university’s decision‚” she said.     But a few minutes later‚ Kayyem proved herself to be a hypocrite and declared schools “cannot” get the police involved at all. She whined they were “terrifying students&;quot; who were just &;quot;expressing their dismay with the war”: What are the rules of engagement&;#63; We cannot put police officers‚ especially non-university police officers‚ as we've seen in some of these jurisdictions‚ just out there fully armed‚ terrifying students who are maybe they just viewed themselves as just expressing their dismay with the war or their criticisms of the Biden administration. That wasn’t the only way Kayyem was a hypocrite on the issue. In 2022‚ she opposed the Canadian “Freedom Convoy” that was protesting their county’s COVID restrictions by blocking critical roads. She lashed out at them and demanded authorities “slash the tires” of their semi-trucks. “Slash the tires‚ empty gas tanks‚ arrest the drivers‚ and move the trucks‚” she wrote. “The notion that these are rational people that will change if asked is long gone‚” she sneered in a follow-up post. “This disruption is an irrational gang and‚ again‚ we should stop being so nice.” Kayyem also used to have a hair-trigger when it came to antisemitism. In 2019‚ she accused former New York City Mayor Ruby Giuliani of “antisemitism” when he called out Democratic Party dark-money donor George Soros. The transcript is below. Click &;quot;expand&;quot; to read: CNN News Central April 24‚ 2024 3:10:55 p.m. Eastern (…) JULIETTE KAYYEM: And so‚ colleges and universities have to do three things. And I'm pretty clear about this. One‚ is they do have to allow space for students to protest. I said you've got to give them an outlet. The students are allowed to protest. This should not be a shock to anyone with teenagers or young‚ young adult children. They have strong feelings and they’re passionate. Because if you just immediately go to arrest‚ it's going to cause I think some of the what we're seeing on air which is nothing's happening. And then lots is happening. You want to give students space as long as you're protecting students who want to go to classes‚ Jewish students‚ if they’re targeted. The second is you have to have off ramps. You have to‚ in terms of these colleges and universities you've got to give students rules about what they are and are not allowed to do. And maybe this happened at USC‚ but they have to be clear about‚ “Yes‚ you can protest. No‚ you can't block a building and this is what's going to happen if you block the building.” And then third is‚ of course‚ then exert your outcomes‚ right&;#63; I mean in other words‚ these kids who are violating these rules these students then have some sort of punishment and whether you need the police or something less than that is each college and university’s decision. (…) 3:14:13 p.m. Eastern KAYYEM: What are the rules of engagement&;#63; We cannot put police officers especially non-university police officers‚ as we've seen in some of these jurisdictions‚ just out there fully armed‚ terrifying students who are maybe they just viewed themselves as just expressing their dismay with the war or their criticisms of the Biden administration. So‚ what are the rules of engagement&;#63; The second is‚ is there – is there a reach out as we're seeing in some of these colleges and universities to these student organizations to engage them on what is and is not appropriate activity&;#63; In other words‚ we don't have to treat the protesters as enemies. They just disagree with the institution or they disagree with the government. And that can help de-escalate as well. And then third‚ is the punishment that we're talking about. If someone is violent‚ if someone is threatening students‚ if someone ought not to be there and is exacerbating the tensions. (…)

On Wednesday‚ ABC‚ CBS‚ and NBC combined for a whopping 22 minutes and 18 seconds on their lead morning shows playing Baghdad Bobs and Barbies‚ touting the Biden regime as dedicated to the American people with segments on their fight to ban non-complete clauses in the workplace‚ cracking down on airlines slow-walking refunds when things go wrong‚ expanding overtime rules‚ and letting women murder their babies at will. When including its third-hour‚ NBC’s Today came out on top with 10 minutes and 55 seconds. It started with the Biden administration fighting to ensure baby murder remains easily accessible in Idaho. Co-host Hoda Kotb touted the “blockbuster” Supreme Court arguments “concerning reproductive rights‚ raising the legal and political stakes headed into the November election.” Senior Washington correspondent Hallie Jackson hyped the case as part of an issue that will have “enormous” “stakes” on the outcome of the election. She eagerly adopted the Biden administration’s framing and even referred to an expecting mother as “a pregnant patient”. She at least gave a soundbite to the great Roger Severino with our friends at the Heritage Foundation (click “expand”): JACKSON: The question: whether a federal law guaranteeing emergency care for patients overrides an Idaho law banning most abortions with exceptions for rape‚ incest‚ and the life of the mother. The Biden administration saying that federal law should take precedence‚ arguing Idaho’s law requires doctors to wait until the health of a pregnant patient gets worse before performing an abortion. But Idaho’s attorney general‚ in a statement‚ accuses the administration of showing a “reckless disregard for Idaho’s right to protect life.” SEVERINO: The Biden administration has twisted this law. [SCREEN WIPE] They’re trying to use federal executive power when the law does not support it. This is beyond the breaking point and I’m hopeful the Supreme Court will rein them back in. JACKSON: And with Idaho allowed to enforce the near total abortion ban for now‚ many OBGYNs are leaving the state‚ including Dr. Lauren Miller‚ who moved her practice to Colorado. She says Idaho’s law has created a dilemma for doctors. (....) JACKSON: The legal fight raising political stakes heading into the November upcoming election with voters in 11 states likely to decide abortion rights on ballot measures this fall. President Biden‚ in Florida Tuesday‚ slamming that state’s six-week abortion ban set to go into effect six days from now and blaming his predecessor. The show went next to the daily messaging from the Department of Transportation. Co-host Savannah Guthrie touted the “big news regarding air travel” with co-host Craig Melvin adding “it could affect folks in a good way.” Longtime transportation correspondent Tom Costello even explicitly said he’d be providing “the bullet points coming from the Biden administration” about their desire to have airlines “provid[e] compensation quickly to passengers who are owed money from an airline and if that passenger declines other alternative transportation needs or credits” that’ll be “cutting through all of the clutter and making it very clear what the rules are for every airline.” Costello and Melvin then focused on the other piece with fee transparency‚ the latest step in Biden’s ongoing obsession with ending so-called junk fees. In the 3rd Hour of Today‚ Costello returned for more banter and praising the regime for these crackdowns. ABC’s Good Morning America came next with six minutes and 33 seconds over four segments.  Like NBC‚ they began with abortion. Congressional correspondent Rachel Scott passed along the Biden Justice Department’s arguments and stomped on a single sentence provided to the opposition‚ which led into a nauseating love letter voiced by chief White House correspondent and chief Biden apple polisher Mary Bruce (click “expand”): SCOTT: And the stakes here are high. This is the first time that the Supreme Court is considering the scope of a state’s abortion ban since Roe vs. Wade was overturned. At the center of the case is Idaho. The state bans abortions in nearly all cases. It does include a narrow exception to save the life of the mother. But the Justice Department is arguing that‚ even in states where abortion is banned under federal health care law‚ hospitals are still required to terminate pregnancy if the patient’s life or health is at serious risk. The Justice Department is pointing to a law from decades ago before Roe vs. Wade was overturned that was originally created to ensure patients who do not have insurance are turned away from hospitals. Anti-abortion rights advocates argue that the Biden administration is misusing this law to try to justify abortions. On the other side‚ though‚ we have talked to doctors and patients who told us they are caught in a web of confusing laws. Some doctors have told us they have questioned whether or not their patient is sick enough before they can even provide life saving care. And doctors‚ of course‚ face serious penalties‚ loss of license‚ fines‚ and‚ in some cases‚ even prison time. And‚ all of this is playing out in the back drop of an election year where the Biden administration is hoping to use this to energize voters ahead of a very critical‚ George. GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Okay‚ Rachel‚ on that point‚ President Biden is targeting Donald Trump over abortion rights‚ blasting him yesterday at a Florida campaign event over a six week abortion ban going into effect in the state next week. [BIDEN CLIP] (....) BRUCE: Well‚ President Biden is eager to put the issue of abortion front and center in this campaign. As you heard there‚ he is trying to make Donald Trump own this‚ blaming him for the new restrictions and bans that we are seeing across the country. Yesterday‚ in that speech in Florida‚ the president’s first major campaign address on this issue‚ by our count at least a dozen times the President argued Trump should be held accountable and is to blame for us. Now‚ Donald Trump has bragged about overturning Roe vs. Wade‚ appointing the three justices who helped strike it down. And since then‚ 21 states have now enacted tough new restrictions and bans. The former President‚ though‚ said this should be up to the states. He says they are handling it brilliantly. President Biden‚ obviously‚ strongly disagrees. He says Trump has to be held accountable and he is hoping this issue will drive voters to the polls in November. He is well aware that every time this issue has been on the ballot since Roe was struck down‚ abortion rights have won. Bruce’s North Korean-state-run-media behavior went right into ABC’s airlines segment. Co-host Robin Roberts proclaimed that “[t]he Biden administration [is] taking action this morning to protect airline consumers” with “[n]ew rules that mandate automatic refunds.” “This is a major change from the Department of Transportation. And‚ again‚ it affects your money‚” said transportation correspondent Gio Benitez at the start of his report. In the second hour‚ ABC made sure to reiterate all the supposedly great things a President running for a second term has done for Americans. This time‚ correspondent Elizabeth Schulze held up a vote by the Biden Federal Trade Commission “that could make it easier for workers to quit their jobs”. “The FTC voting to ban non-compete agreements‚ which prevent workers from switching jobs to work for a rival company. The nationwide ban means workers applying for a new job wouldn’t be forced to sign a non-compete and almost all existing non-compete clauses would be voided‚” she added. For good measure‚ Schulze also shared a Biden Labor Department initiative that’ll be “a major expansion of overtime” which‚ starting in July‚ will see the salary threshold of workers eligible for overtime rise to $44‚000 ahead of a $60‚000 ceiling in January. CBS Mornings clocked in third with a still-strong four minutes and 50 seconds of stenography. After a segment about the Senate passing the bill to force TikTok to be sold from its Chinese parent company (or be banned in the U.S.)‚ co-host Tony Dokoupil brought up the airlines and FTC stories as other examples of “words turning into action in Washington” with “[s]ome big changes there that could have an effect on millions of Americans”. Transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave and senior tech correspondent Jo Ling Kent came next doubling as regime mouthpieces (click “expand”): VAN CLEAVE: The next time you run into travel troubles‚ you could be eligible for a cash refund. These new Department of Transportation rules that will be going into effect say you can get a refund for a canceled flight‚ but if you’re delayed more than three hours for a domestic flight or more than six hours internationally‚ you can also get a refund if you choose not to fly. Also‚ bag fees must be refunded if a checked bag is significantly delayed‚ and refund must be given if any services you paid for aren’t provided like broken wi-fi. Airlines are also required now to disclose what fees they charge up front for things like a checked bag‚ a carry-on bag‚ a cancel or change fee. Now‚ most airlines in the U.S. already do that. These new rules will be phased in over the next 12 months[.] (....) KENT: [T]he Federal Trade Commission wants to make it easier for you to get a new job. It plans on banning non-compete clauses‚ and those are the parts of employer contracts that bar workers across industries from leaving for a competitor or starting a competing business. Now‚ some saying non-competes help employers protect their trade secrets and allow them to invest in training for employees without fear of losing them‚ while others argue the clauses are overly restrictive on the workers. The FTC says its ban would translate to $524 more each year for the average worker‚ yield as many as 29‚000 more patents‚ and create at least 8‚500 new businesses. But‚ of course‚ this is not set in stone yet. The U.S. Chamber of commerce called the ban an unlawful power grab and said it would sue the FTC to block it. CBS conveniently and immediately pivoted to abortion‚ but longtime Supreme Court correspondent Jan Crawford kept it straight (as usual). While she said “the Biden administration is challenging Idaho’s pretty strict restrictions with a really creative legal argument”‚ she also gave two soundbites to Idaho Attorney General Ra&;uacute;l Labrador (R) to defend his state’s pro-life law.

MRC Free Speech America Vice President Dan Schneider addressed over a decade of rampant Facebook election interference in a conversation with Just the News founder John Solomon.  During the April 24 edition of Just the News‚ No Noise‚ Schneider went after Meta CEO Mark Zuckerburg and Facebook for 39 instances of election interference between 2008 and 2024. “Facebook has engaged in censorship over and over and over‚” Schneider said in response to an MRC Special Report. The report demonstrated a pattern of Facebook censoring free speech‚ including silencing criticism of President Barack Obama’s handling of the fall of the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi and muzzling Republican candidates for office during the 2022 midterm elections.  Solomon praised the “extraordinary detail” of the study and called it the “most comprehensive review of Facebook’s interventions.” In response to a question from co-host Amanda Head‚ Schneider pointed out that these 39 instances are just the tip of the iceberg of Facebook censorship‚ but emphasized that they are serious‚ carefully researched examples of Facebook putting its thumb on the electoral scale.  Schneider said‚ “Well of course there are thousands of instances of Facebook censoring people‚ the great bulk of them are conservatives. But these are the 39 times that we've found where it's clear that they were meddling in the election‚ that they were trying to sway the election.”  The MRC Free Speech America vice president went on to refer to a video exposing insane bias within Facebook staff. “And we've got quotes from their own internal staff saying‚ “‘Yeah‚ you know the CEO‚ he may claim that that it's a free speech platform but we are not going to allow Trump to win the election again.’ That kind of language is being used internally‚” said Schneider. Expanding on his remarks‚ Schneider added: “Mark Zuckerberg has said to us‚ to us conservatives that the people of Facebook … don't understand who conservatives are or what we believe.’ They only understand the will to power and to use their company to try to promote‚ you know‚ the next president of the United States. Conservatives are under attack&;#33; Contact your representatives and demand that Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency‚ clarity on hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.

Former NFL star Tom Brady advised kids and young athletes to live more for others and try to be more mentally and emotionally stable instead of focusing on their personal brand.Brady made the remarks on &;quot;DeepCut with VicBlends&;quot; while getting his hair cut. During a lengthy discussion about golf‚ fatherhood‚ and retirement‚ the quarterback made remarks about how he was able to persevere despite not having the physical capabilities of other professional athletes.&;quot;When I was being evaluated to be a professional quarterback‚ the only thing they looked at was the physical component‚&;quot; Brady began. &;quot;I wasn't the biggest build‚&;quot; he continued.&;quot;I didn't naturally have the biggest build coming out of high school and then in college‚ even though I worked at it. It just wasn't the way that my body would develop.&;quot;The 46-year-old expressed that it was his ability to mentally understand the game of football and &;quot;learn the game‚ learn the tactics‚&;quot; and learn the &;quot;disciplines&;quot; and &;quot;strategies&;quot; that set him apart.He then explained that it was his ability to bring a &;quot;positive‚ team-first attitude&;quot; to the field that made him so successful.&;quot;The biggest problem with a lot of f***ing kids these days ... it's all about them‚ it's all about their brand‚ their social media. And then when it's about me and then not about us‚ well‚ there's no way to succeed as a team if all you're doing is thinking about how selfish it is for you to get the attention.&;quot;The seven-time Super Bowl champion added that his advice for younger athletes is to help other people and not just themselves.&;quot;When people are looking for self-glorification and very self-serving attitudes‚ very selfish attitudes‚ it's hard to have a team-first attitude if all you do is [be concerned] about how you're doing‚ or your stats‚ or the glory you're getting‚ the gratification you're getting.&;quot;Lastly‚ Brady said people need to evaluate themselves every day about what they can do to better themselves physically‚ emotionally‚ and mentally. &;quot;How can I be more stable&;#63; More consistent&;#63; How can I be more present&;#63; How can I be more of an inspiration for the people that I'm around every day&;#63;&;quot; he asked rhetorically. &;quot;That's where I think people miss the boat.&;quot; The reason Tom Brady thinks that life and sports are about upliftment is because his needs as a child were met. When he\u2019s looking at a different generation of athletes whose needs weren\u2019t met‚ he sees selfishness in them. — (@) BlazeTV's Jason Whitlock said that Brady's belief system is the product of a proper upbringing in a stable environment.&;quot;The reason why Tom Brady thinks that life and sports are about uplifting your teammates and everybody around you is because his needs as a child were met. He had two devoted parents and up-bringers that he probably thought were tremendous and great‚&;quot; Whitlock said.&;quot;What he's looking at is a different generation of athletes whose needs weren't meant. Either their families were torn or apart ... or they had two working parents where the kids are the side hustle.&;quot;&;quot;Brady is exactly right. Amateur athlete mentality‚&;quot; said sports analyst Gary Sheffield Jr. &;quot;Fastest path to a check most often doesn't help a team win‚&;quot; Sheffield added‚ likening the athletes to bad employees. During the same podcast‚ Brady said that he was still open to making an NFL return.&;quot;I'm not opposed to it‚&;quot; Brady shockingly stated. &;quot;I don't know if they're going to let me ... I don't know‚ I'm always going to be in good shape‚ always be able to throw the ball‚ so to come in for a little bit like MJ coming back&;#63; I don't know if they'd let me‚ but I wouldn't be opposed to it‚&;quot; Brady concluded.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

In the case of Ilhan Omar and her daughter Isra Hirsi‚ the apple truly doesn’t fall far from the tree. Hirsi stole the spotlight on MSNBC after being kicked out of Barnard College for her actions related to anti-Israel protests on campus. “Do other student groups have this kind of target on their back‚ or do you feel that you are being targeted because of the fact that it is in solidarity with Palestinians and against what Israel is doing to Palestinians&;#63;” the MSNBC host asked Hirsi. “This is 100% targeted‚” Hirsi replied‚ telling the host that counterprotesters don’t “receive the kind of disciplinary warnings that many of our fellow organizers receive just for being seen at these protests.” Hirsi also claimed that there were counterprotesters spraying “chemical weapons‚” which some have traced to a student who had fart spray. Dave Rubin is fed up‚ calling MSNBC a “Hamas-run television network” and a “cesspool of evil.” “First off‚ the counterprotesters come there with American flags and Israeli flags‚ and they’re peaceful and they sing songs like the National Anthem‚ things like that. They’re not calling to exterminate anyone or kill anyone or destroy a country‚” Rubin says. “But ultimately‚ she has to be the victim‚” he scoffs.

Mike Rowe has no patience for the anti-Semitic craziness taking place at Ivy League schools.Columbia University became ground zero for anti-Semitism last week when students set up the &;quot;Gaza Solidarity Encampment.&;quot; Anti-Israel protests‚ which are threatening the safety of Jewish students‚ have since spilled over to other Ivy League schools and universities across the country.According to Rowe‚ this latest example of far-left behavior should persuade Americans to stop supporting the Ivy League and instead support trade schools.&;quot;Why&;#63; Because the Ivy League has truly lost its mind‚&;quot; Rowe said in a statement.Rowe took specific issue with Columbia University president Minouche Shafik‚ who instituted remote learning for the rest of the semester. The &;quot;How America Works&;quot; host said that students should be &;quot;livid&;quot; that Shafik made the change to appease a &;quot;noisy rabble of thugs and bullies calling for the eradication of Israel.&;quot;&;quot;It’s simply mind-boggling that the president of this university would rather consign her students to another crucible of remote learning‚ than permanently expel the protesters‚&;quot; he said. Rowe then raised an important question that underscores the phenomenon that far-left ideology has captured American universities.&;quot;I mean‚ seriously‚ what does it take to get expelled from Columbia&;#63;&;quot; he asked. &;quot;These creeps are on camera‚ literally screaming into the faces of Jewish students‚&;quot; he continued. &;quot;That’s what you get for $68‚000 a year at Columbia — an administration who cowers in the face of thugs and bullies‚ and a university president who would rather make your kids try to learn off campus‚ than take a truly hard line with those students calling for the murder of Jews.&;quot;For the love of God‚ expel them‚&;quot; Rowe pleaded. &;quot;Calling for murder is not protected speech.&;quot; — (@) Pressure is mounting on Shafik to resign. Whereas at first‚ the anti-Israel protesters were angry that she allowed police officers to arrest demonstrators‚ now‚ the other side is upset that her administration is‚ in many ways‚ accommodating the protesters by negotiating with them.House Speaker Mike Johnson (R) visited Columbia on Wednesday‚ where he called on Shafik to resign.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also spoken up about the protests.&;quot;What’s happening in America’s college campuses is horrific‚&;quot; he said. &;quot;It has to be condemned and condemned unequivocally. But that’s not what happened. The response of several university presidents was shameful.&;quot;Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

Tennessee lawmakers passed a bill permitting teachers and staff to carry a concealed weapon under certain conditions‚ despite angry theatrics from activists.On Tuesday‚ hundreds of anti-gun radicals ramped up their efforts to stop the gun-rights legislation. They stormed the capitol building in Nashville‚ carrying signs and chanting unoriginal slogans such as &;quot;Blood on your hands&;#33;&;quot; and &;quot;Hey&;#33; Hey&;#33; Ho&;#33; Ho&;#33; The GOP has got to go&;#33;&;quot;Noted Democrat agitator state Rep. Justin Pearson‚ who has already been expelled from the Tennessee House once for his disruptive activism‚ spoke in the midst of the group‚ railing in the cadence of a Southern preacher‚ &;quot;This is what democracy looks like&;#33;&;quot;The activists‚ most of whom appeared to be women‚ then performed a protest known as a &;quot;die in‚&;quot; whereby participants collectively collapse to the floor‚ pretending to be dead. They apparently believe the demonstration reflects the carnage of mass school shootings‚ though members of the public and law enforcement in the building that day instead likely enjoyed the brief moment of quiet.The cries of the activists then reached a shrill pitch when the measure‚ SB1325‚ passed easily through the House‚ 68-28. Four Republicans joined all 24 Democrats in voting against the bill. Three more Republicans abstained.&;quot;Vote them out&;#33;&;quot; one woman shrieked as a security officer escorted her and another individual out of the gallery. &;quot;Vote them out&;#33;&;quot; The bill will now go to the desk of Republican Gov. Bill Lee. If he signs it or does nothing‚ it will become law. His only means of stopping the measure from taking effect would be to veto it‚ but he has never vetoed any piece of legislation since taking office in 2019.Thus‚ the bill will almost assuredly soon become the law of the state. But‚ cosponsor Republican state Sen. Paul Bailey clarified that it will not force any &;quot;faculty or staff member&;quot; to carry a weapon. It &;quot;simply gives&;quot; them &;quot;the option‚&;quot; he said.The bill also places several conditions on teachers and staff interested in arming themselves on campus. The following is a summary of those conditions‚ per CNN: • Get an enhanced carry permit• Get written authorization from the superintendent‚ principal‚ and the chief of the appropriate law enforcement agency• Complete 40 hours of basic training in school policing and 40 hours of Peace Officer’s Standards and Training commission-approved training that is specific to school policing each year at the educator’s expense• Complete a background check• Undergo a psychological exam conducted by a Tennessee-licensed health care providerAs CNN noted‚ the bill passed just over a year after the horrific shooting at the Covenant School in Nashville‚ which left six Christians — three adults and three children — dead. However‚ CNN neglected to report that the individual responsible for the murders identified as transgender‚ describing the shooter only as &;quot;a 28-year-old former student.&;quot;CNN also incorrectly asserted that &;quot;gun violence is the leading killer of children in the United States‚&;quot; which has already claimed the lives of 436 children this year. The leading killer of children in America‚ by far‚ is abortion. According to NPR‚ more than 1 million children died from abortion in the U.S. in 2023 alone.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

When a male punched a security officer for San Jose's Democratic Mayor Matt Mahan on Tuesday evening‚ a KRON-TV camera was rolling and recorded the entire two-minute fight — as well as what preceded it — since the station was interviewing Mahan on South 1st Street at the time.What are the details&;#63;The station said Mahan was in the area for a restaurant opening‚ and during the interview‚ a male pedestrian is seen in the video on his phone and walking past the mayor on the right.KRON said the pedestrian then approached the mayor’s security officer‚ and the pair were heard in a verbal exchange while Mahan let the pedestrian know he was in the middle of an interview.&;quot;Oh‚ you're doin' an interview&;#63;&;quot; the pedestrian‚ now on camera‚ asked the mayor while standing next to him.&;quot;I'm talkin' on the phone‚&;quot; the pedestrian said presumably to Mahan's security officer. &;quot;You got a problem&;#63;&;quot;KRON said the pedestrian then told the security officer — who's also a San Jose police officer — to &;quot;mind your (explicit) business.&;quot; The pedestrian also told the security officer‚ “I was going to do what the (explicit) I was going to do right before you walked up to me‚” the station reported.Soon‚ the pedestrian walked forward and off camera‚ and apparently physical contact was made between him and the security officer. The pedestrian also was heard saying he'll &;quot;smack&;quot; the security officer.KRON said the pedestrian appeared to land a right-hand punch to the security officer’s head. Here's video of that punch and a handful of seconds that follow: — (@) The full video of the fight is available only on KRON at present.The battle between the pedestrian and the security officer went on for a while. This screenshot of the fight in progress includes arrows pointing (left to right) at the security officer‚ the pedestrian‚ and the mayor. Image source: X video screenshot via @jmolmudKRON's video shows a handful of bystanders finally entering the fray and helping the security officer get the pedestrian under control.San Jose police officers eventually detained the pedestrian‚ the station said.The mayor's security officer was injured during the fight and taken to a hospital for evaluation‚ KRON said‚ adding the police said they're submitting evidence to the district attorney’s office.The station said the suspect was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail for multiple charges‚ including felony battery on a police officer. The motive and circumstances surrounding the fight are under investigation‚ police told KRON.Mahan was not physically harmed during the incident‚ the station said‚ and his office issued the following statement:Mayor Matt Mahan is deeply grateful to his security detail and the entire San Jose Police Department. The actions of the Officer tonight were heroic and a testament to the deescalation training that makes our officers effective‚ compassionate and stewards of community trust. His thoughts are with the Officer and he hopes for a speedy recovery. The Mayor understands how privileged he is to have an armed officer protecting him at all times‚ and is resolved in his commitment to create a safer city for everyone. That means hiring more police officers and addressing the root causes of crime‚ including by intervening earlier and more effectively in cycles of addiction‚ mental illness and violence.This story has been updated.Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.

A black entrepreneur is angry and frustrated that his vegan shop has been burglarized by young black males‚ and he is demanding the community step up to do something about it. Chef Imani Greer is the owner and CEO of Roasted and Raw a plant-based restaurant in downtown Oakland on 14th and Jefferson streets. He says that the constant burglaries are threatening to shut down his business. &;quot;It's everything. It's crying‚ it's rage‚ it's anger‚ it's frustration‚ it's defeat‚&;quot; said Greer to KTVU-TV on Tuesday. He said his business suffered a fourth burglary recently after only being open for about two years. &;quot;It's a very defeating feeling to just try so hard every day and even as a leader you don't have time to grieve‚&;quot; Greer said. The latest break-in happened on Monday at about 4:30 a.m. &;quot;Couple guys‚ young guys‚ broke in‚ they basically hit the glass. Then they just go‚&;quot; Greer said. &;quot;It's almost a routine.&;quot; Prior to opening up his brick and mortar shop in downtown Oakland‚ Greer had operated the business as a pop-up in Jack London Square. He has over 20 years' experience as a chef. &;quot;They have been ... my own people.&;quot; He said that the restaurant was just celebrating record sales in March when it was burglarized the last time. &;quot;Unfortunately‚ all four of our break-ins have been young black males.
