00:00Caroline, two questions, one on the terror attack last night and then another on the big, beautiful bill.

00:05Do you or President Trump have a message to politicians like Ilhan Omar,

00:09who only this morning explicitly avoided condemning this act of terror?

00:13It's despicable, and frankly, we have seen a rise in anti-Semitic protests of pro-Hamas protests,

00:23of terrorist sympathizers. We saw them on our college campuses,

00:28and we've seen the Democrat Party turn a blind eye, and in some cases actually embrace such anti-Semitic illegal behavior.

00:37And that's why this administration has done more than any administration in history to crack down on anti-Semitism.

00:42As you know, in January, when the President took office, he signed a new executive order to combat anti-Semitism.

00:48He created a commission focused on doing just that.

00:51The Justice Department announced their task force as well.

00:54The Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, has revoked thousands of student visas from campuses

01:00where these pro-Hamas terrorist campus agitators and violent protests took place.

01:08And we've also withheld funding from those very campuses as well in an effort to combat anti-Semitism.

01:13So the President's made it very clear that such hatred will have no place in our country.
