00:00:00.000 So, Mahmoud Khalil is the student leader who was imported to the United States on a student visa, essentially, in order to protest against the United States and say that we are backing a quote unquote genocidal state in Israel and that the United States is a superpower bent on murder and all the rest. 0.67
00:00:19.000 He's one of the heads of Columbia University Apartheid Divest, Mahmoud Khalil. 0.66
00:00:23.000 He led the trespassing and lawbreaking over at Columbia. 0.96
00:00:28.000 He legitimately hates the country.
00:00:30.000 But he's trying really, really hard to stay.
00:00:32.000 He doesn't want to leave because he hates the country.
00:00:37.000 Now, again, I would not immigrate to a country I hated and wanted to fundamentally change, but that's because I'm not an ideological weapon against the country. 0.95
00:00:43.000 I mean, that's who Mahmoud Khalil is.
00:00:48.000 I mean, just a reminder Mahmoud Khalil is an immigrant to the country. 0.80
00:00:53.000 He's trying to get in who likes terrorist groups. 0.84
00:00:56.000 Here he was in July 2025 refusing to condemn the terrorist group Hamas over and over and over again.
00:01:02.000 Just to be clear here, though, do you specifically condemn Hamas, a designated terrorist organization in the United States, not just for their actions on October 7th?
00:01:14.000 I condemn the killing of all civilians, full stop. 0.69
00:01:19.000 But what I don't want to get into is I am very clear with condemning all civilians.
00:01:27.000 I'm very straight in my position in that position.
00:01:33.000 Part, but it's disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel.
00:01:39.000 It's not condemning October 6th, where 260 Palestinians were killed. 0.90
00:01:45.000 Again, that's who Mahmoud Khalil is. 0.94
00:01:47.000 He hates the United States, he hates the West. 0.99
00:01:49.000 So, our new blockbuster movie, Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels, which comes out tomorrow, is at least in part inspired by Khalil and the out of control protesters at Columbia, the blue hairs who decided to join him. 0.97
00:01:59.000 Well, in the movie, Jonathan Major's character, playing a military veteran who has fought radical Muslims abroad, shows up on campus in the middle of these protests. 0.96
00:02:07.000 Which are then used by a terrorist group as a front to invade the campus. 0.96
00:02:11.000 And he explains what a threat Islamic immigration poses. 0.99
00:02:14.000 Here's Jonathan Major's character in our brand new movie, Run, Hide, Fight, Infidel, saying the thing that Hollywood won't say. 1.00
00:02:20.000 There are three ways Islam will conquer the West through immigration, through the wombs of our women, and by using our own Western freedoms against us. 0.96
00:02:37.000 Okay, so it's that last one I want to focus on because this is right using our own Western freedoms against us. 0.98
00:02:44.000 Mahmoud Khalil doesn't believe in any of these Western freedoms.
00:02:46.000 He does not.
00:02:47.000 He does not believe on a fundamental level in freedom of speech, which is why he defends Hamas, a terrorist group that murders dissenters.
00:02:53.000 He does not believe in freedom of religion.
00:02:55.000 He does not believe in separation of church and state.
00:02:57.000 He doesn't really believe in private property.
00:02:59.000 But people like Mahmoud Khalil are more than happy to come to the West and then use our freedoms against us.
00:03:07.000 That is a reality.
00:03:08.000 That is not fiction.
00:03:09.000 That's fact. 1.00
00:03:11.000 The freedoms that we hold to be dear and sacred to us, the ones that are enshrined in our constitution, do not exist in the Islamic world. 1.00
00:03:19.000 They just do not. 1.00
00:03:21.000 As I said in a video over the weekend, you can find it on YouTube talking about Islam and its conciliation with the West. 0.70
00:03:29.000 The reality is, Islamic values, as practiced as a political doctrine, because Islam is an entire worldview and encompasses politics and how countries are ruled, does not jive with Western values.
00:03:41.000 It does not.
00:03:43.000 But people like Mahmoud Khalil, radical terrorist supporters, are happy to come to the West and use those freedoms against us, which is why Mahmoud Khalil is now again suing Columbia University. 0.83
00:03:53.000 So Columbia lets him in, imports him to our country. 0.88
00:03:56.000 Again, why the hell this person was in our country in the first place is insane, totally insane.
00:04:02.000 And then he starts shouting and screaming about how his freedom of speech is being abused if he gets deported.
00:04:07.000 And not only that, he's now suing Columbia University in federal court for showing what he says was deliberate indifference to the harassment of pro Palestinian students like him.
00:04:17.000 There are some good problems in business too many customers, not enough inventory, needing another employee, outgrowing your space.
00:04:22.000 Those are good problems.
00:04:23.000 They're also expensive problems because sometimes your growth actually outpaces.
00:04:29.000 Your capacity to grow or you're moving too fast.
00:04:32.000 And this is where Cardiff comes in.
00:04:33.000 If you want bank rates without the bank delays, you need to check out cardiff.co slash Shapiro for up to $500,000 in same day funding.
00:04:40.000 Cardiff gives business owners access to up to $500,000 in funding.
00:04:43.000 The application takes less than five minutes.
00:04:45.000 There's no impact on your personal credit and eligible businesses can potentially be approved in minutes and funded the very same day.
00:04:50.000 This isn't some new operation.
00:04:52.000 Cardiff has funded more than 12 billion bucks for businesses since 2004.
00:04:56.000 Entrepreneurs already take enough risks.
00:04:58.000 You shouldn't have to risk missing the opportunity you've been working toward because financing can't keep up with your business.
00:05:03.000 Banks try to lock out small businesses.
00:05:04.000 Cardiff has the key.
00:05:06.000 If you've been in business for at least a year and you're pulling in 20 grand a month in revenue, apply now for up to $500,000 in same day business funding at cardiff.co slash Shapiro.
00:05:14.000 Again, that's cardiff.co slash Shapiro.
00:05:18.000 Real growth, fast funding.
00:05:19.000 Cardiff, borrow better.
00:05:21.000 So, again, this is a person who led a protest movement that literally took over campus buildings and blocked access to other students, and he's the victim.
00:05:28.000 Always. 0.97
00:05:30.000 As per our usual arrangement in which Muslim terrorists start wars they can't win, then lose and whine about it, that's what Mahmoud Khalil did here. 0.95
00:05:36.000 He alleges that Colombia failed to respond to the persistent and severe harassment students encounter because of their advocacy, despite repeatedly asking Colombia administrators for help in the days and weeks preceding his March 2025 arrest by ICE agents. 0.73
00:05:49.000 So Khalil blames Colombia for being arrested.
00:05:53.000 They let him in, and then he turns around and uses phrases like free speech and due process to attack the people who let him in in the first place.
00:06:03.000 Okay, that's the whole thing.
00:06:04.000 Yes, there are, in fact, malicious actors who will use our freedoms, and yes, the bennies that come along with it.
00:06:09.000 Against us. 0.89
00:06:10.000 Mahmoud Khalil was one of these. 0.99
00:06:11.000 Here he was yesterday.
00:06:13.000 Today I'm filing a lawsuit against Columbia University and SIPA Dean Karen Yarimilo for their gross and systematic discrimination against Palestinian students at Columbia.
00:06:28.000 I'm joined by my friends at the Palestine Working Group.
00:06:34.000 Columbia laid the groundwork for my targeting by the Trump administration through its deliberate indifference and discrimination aimed at.
00:06:44.000 Aimed at intimidating Palestinian students.
00:06:50.000 Okay, why is this person in our country? 1.00
00:06:52.000 Deport, deport, deport.
00:06:55.000 Secretary of State Rubio said about Mahmoud Khalil.
00:06:57.000 This isn't about free speech.
00:06:58.000 This is back in March 2025 when they originally tried to deport him.
00:07:04.000 If you tell us that you are in favor of a group like this, and if you tell us when you apply for your visa, and by the way, I intend to come to your country as a student and rile up all kinds of anti Jewish student, anti Semitic activities, I intend to shut down your universities.
00:07:18.000 If you told us all these things when you applied for a visa, we would deny your visa.
00:07:21.000 I hope we would.
00:07:22.000 If you actually end up doing that once you're in this country on such a visa, we will revoke it. 0.98
00:07:28.000 And if you end up having a green card, not citizenship, but a green card as a result of that visa while you're here and those activities, we're going to kick you out. 0.96
00:07:35.000 It's as simple as that.
00:07:36.000 This is not about free speech.
00:07:37.000 This is about people that don't have a right to be in the United States to begin with. 0.97
00:07:40.000 No one has a right to a student visa. 0.95
00:07:42.000 No one has a right to a green card, by the way. 1.00
00:07:47.000 Okay, he is right about all of that. 0.99
00:07:49.000 But again, the idea from people like Mahmoud Khalil. And Zoram Amdani and the entire Democratic Party is you do have a right.
00:07:55.000 You have a right to call.
00:07:55.000 Come here hating the country.
00:07:57.000 You have a right to come here hating the country and being on welfare benefits, which is why Zoramamdani literally had Mahmoud Khalil and his wife at Gracie Mansion. 0.86
00:08:08.000 This is who Zoramamdani is. 0.92
00:08:10.000 When we say in Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels, when Jonathan Major's character says in Run, Hide, Fight, Infidels, again, out tomorrow, you should go subscribe so you can see it the minute it drops.
00:08:19.000 It's a hot movie.
00:08:19.000 It also happens to be fun to watch.
00:08:20.000 It's awesome.
00:08:21.000 It's a great action flick, but it also says the things Hollywood will never say.
00:08:25.000 When Jonathan Major says, That Islamic radicals will use the freedoms of the West against the West, that is no lie. 0.98
00:08:35.000 That is just a reality. 0.93
00:08:36.000 And that when you import millions of people from countries that despise the West, many of those people still despise the West even when they come here and then live under its rubric while claiming that they love the freedoms because they are using the freedoms.
00:08:52.000 That is just a reality. 0.91
00:08:55.000 Because, again, We know what America would look like if folks like Mahmoud Khalil were in the majority. 1.00
00:09:01.000 It would look just like the other Islamic countries on planet Earth, which is to say none of those freedoms would exist. 1.00
00:09:06.000 Now, back to immigration for a second. 1.00
00:09:08.000 The reality is that since we have imported an enormous number of people who both hate the country and draw on its resources, that's coming along with a ton of fraud.
00:09:18.000 Because again, if you believe that you're not fundamentally loyal to America, why precisely would you have a problem stealing from the American taxpayer?
00:09:25.000 What an amazing video you just watched!
00:09:27.000 Wasn't that amazing?
00:09:28.000 Well, you know, if you think so, head on over to dailywire.comslash subscribe to watch the full show ad free or check out this crazy story here.
00:09:36.000 Every significant movement in history has started with protesting. 0.99
00:09:38.000 You're a traitor! 0.99
00:09:39.000 It's Uncle Tom! 0.99
00:09:40.000 This is our generation's civil rights!
00:09:41.000 I have no idea what the protest is about.
00:09:43.000 Bingo!
00:09:44.000 Given the current climate, should a figure as polarizing as Clay Saunders even be allowed on campus?
00:09:49.000 Ah, can you hear me okay?
00:09:51.000 Saunders is a close personal friend of Chancellor Friedman.
00:09:53.000 This is a decision I cannot fight. 1.00
00:09:55.000 Islam will conquer the West. 1.00
00:09:58.000 Assalamualaikum. 1.00
00:09:59.000 Are we paying attention?
00:10:04.000 They've taken over the building.
00:10:05.000 They're downstairs and they've blocked the doors.
00:10:08.000 I seek forgiveness from Allah the Almighty.
00:10:12.000 You cannot run and hide.
00:10:14.000 Muhammad is the messenger of God.
00:10:17.000 There is no God but Allah.
00:10:20.000 What do you say? 0.99
00:10:22.000 He turned those SOBs into a fine red mist. 1.00
00:10:27.000 As we move, one man will cover while the other guys go. 1.00
00:10:30.000 They call that leapfrogging.
00:10:31.000 Stretch them out and listen.
00:10:34.000 You need a course in safe weapons handling.
