US President Joe Biden addresses the campus protests

- The US President Joe Biden has been under pressure, not just by his rival in the upcoming presidential election, former President Donald Trump, but also from the American public, who have been wondering why he’s been absent as these nationwide protests grow on college campuses.
There have been comments from the National Security Council spokesperson, the deputy press secretary, the press secretary, all saying pretty much what the president said: that these protests are not within the law, that the White House supports free speech, the right to protest and freedom of assembly, but that it doesn’t support protests that are unlawful.
One of the questions asked to President Biden was whether the demonstrations would make him change any of his policies on Gaza. The answer was no, without hesitation or qualification. And that’s what could have quelled this disruption. The fact that he was not willing to budge on that is going to be a problem for Biden, because he needs these young people to win reelection, and he trails Trump in a lot of battleground states.
The US President has a problem, and so far he has not changed his tack.
Al Jazeera's White House correspondent Kimberley Halkett has more.

TRUMP 2024 🇺🇸
@@richardgillette5759 maybe you didn't see his tweet saying STOP THE PROTESTS NOW ! in caps like this I don't think this that's supportive of freedom of speech
Trump is also Zionist satan
@@richardgillette5759 Trump is a vile piece of garbage too. But unfortunately, we will be stuck with 4 more years of racism and oppression
@@richardgillette5759 fortunately the backlash to Trump will push us farther left in the long run.
" We are not an authoritarian state, we value free speech"
-Perfectly contrasts with the vile images of students being beaten, tear gassed and arrested.
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
He's an old school liar. Hopefully the ICC charges him.
US has not signed the Rome agreement, so unfortunately they cannot...
@@Maurito89 They are however facilitating a crime against an ICC member. Russia wasn't a part of the ICC however they commited crimes against an ICC member. They most likely wouldn't because "Might is right" and watching the examples of whom the ICC has prosecuted it's been African leaders, East European and Russia. No "Western" leader has ever been prosecuted because as much as we like to think the law is up held without predjudice power influences profoundly how the law is upheld.
fjb
You sound like another bot. Do they pay you to spout nonsense?
ICC lol😂😂😂
With what army?
It was the Israeli supporters who attacked but yet they are blaming the Palestinian supporters.
Exactly!
You told you that lie? There are no pro israel protest in the first place.
@@MmkwsdjahfUCLA counter protestors arrived and began to attack the encampment the cops watched and did nothing. It's just like in the West Bank and the illegal Isreali settlements where the Israelis attack and harras any West bank Palestine people that call the area home.
Yup
@@Mmkwsdjahfalmost all media live stream it when they throw fireworks to students camp.
He’s reading the speech Netanyahu wrote for him.
exactly, i am surprised this time he didn't mess up and say "pause" again; probably they removed these words as he reads everything from the text written for him. smh
Yes he is. No more curtains it’s all about power
More like he is reading the speech taught to him by the Founding Fathers and the Constitution. You should look it up. It later provided places like TH-cam where even the most uneducated person like yourself can spout nonsense.
Fascist
Jew = rasist
lkr.
my dream of May 1, 2023 spoke about Nazism. Hitler. The burden is heavy on my shoulders. but Times reached WW3 momentum. Biden is more dangerous than fascist presidents like Mussolini or Franco who LOVED their country. My grand parents were not persecuted by Franco. My parents were free to migrate legally.
Mussolini was a choir boy compared to Hitler.
You are the fascist.
Vote Trump
What a weak response. These students are not the ones being violent. This is absolutely ridiculous.
most of the violent "students" arrested were not even students. SMH
"Not a country that squashes dissent"...!" What does riot police on a campus look like to Biden? Squashing dissent is EXACTLY what the US has done here, and on behalf of a foreign nation I could add...... We all have eyes in our heads....!
💯💯💯
Worst president ever, makes never want to vote Democrat again
Don’t! The two party system is so deeply corrupt that it needs to be thrown out the window anyway. Time for new parties to rise, pushed by real people and not lobbyists
No he's not. Trump has his hands all over this genocide... Biden's a fool who feel into a trap, and can't wake up.
Lol, you voted for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris?
So you would rather vote for a rapist, I guess.
You started this mess, this administration has caused nothing but division & chaos
Pamela, I hope your baby can grow up in peace and prosperity. I'm older and I'm not that concerned about myself. I worry about you and the innocent children. Do not send your baby off to be indoctrinated in this crazy country. I recently educated myself in Algebra, trigonometry, and calculus with used textbooks and youtube videos. It's a little bit of extra work and time , but our schools have failed us. Our government has failed us.
No vote for Biden
Let's go Brandon
Let's go trump
Here comes Trump 🎉
Maybe it's time for Trump to go too. Maybe there are big changes heading the way to the US 😉
@@angelarodrigues3644I agree with you. They're both bad. It's just that personally, I want to see Brandon lose out of spite for his inhumanity on the Gaza issue. And luckily I'm not American so I won't have to deal with a Trump Presidency
There is no freedom if we can't condemn Isreal
They never blame Hamas bc t is their ppl.
Go look for "freedom" in the Sharia country where you are welccomed
plenty of blame all round
It is a well-known fact that the US regime openly supported violent protests in Hong Kong. However, it is outrageous to see that people who are standing up for peace and protesting against the ongoing genocide in Palestine are being labelled as terrorists and anti-Semites. This blatant hypocrisy and double standard must be called out and condemned by the international community.
These Students are our Future Leaders,
“They will forever remember the actions of the Corrupt Corporate Democrats and Corporate Republicans.”
Hahahahahahahaha
You say that but every generation the far right seem to continue in charge of USA & UK? What happened to those intelligent students from 10 years ago? 20 years ago? 30 years ago? Evil always wins and the elite look after themselves and make sure good never gets a look in?
Biden undemocratic kick out 👇👇🏻👇
No one is voting for him.
FJB
Go ahead vote for Trump. I'm sure the Palestinians will live happily after after.
@@galemartin9155 Like Joe is doing them any favors?
@@galemartin9155 Go ahead and admit that you were never voting against anyone but the real Progressives.
Uncle sam tries to portray itself state of freedom but in reality it's a police state
😂😂
Still better than Iran!😆
Yes, such a horrible police state that they allow US made sites like TH-cam for freedom loving people like you to add your nonsensical comments on!
I’m just glad I live in a Muslim majority country like Qatar so I have lots of freedom
@@richardgillette5759it's sad when Qatar is more moral and better governed than the USA. But Richard is speaking truthfully. I would not be able to be a practicing Christian in Qatar. However most of these kids are devoid of God. A God fearing Muslim will stand a better chance than someone devoid of any religion based on the God of Abraham.
@@user-gz2ob9rp6r in the USA we choose morons to lead because they make the stupids feel better about how much they suck instead of inspire them to suck less
Biden you cannot stop these brave students
Free Free Palestine
Why don't you go to Gaza to give out aid to the Palestinians then?
The Indians who took on the British empire under Gandhi's leadership were Brave. Black Americans who took on the white establishment under Dr King's leadership were Brave. Pro Palestinian and pro Israeli protesters are nothing but zealots who the slap the world with their right hand while asking for money with their left. I'll save my tears for the Sudanese, I'll save my tears for the Rohingya, the Tibetans and the Uyghur.

They were peaceful protest 🪧
i study at berkeley, i am an indian, i got nothing to do with the war nor do i have any opinions on it, they refused to let me in cause according to them all indians stand with israel and pushed me also, i go there, i know it much better,
@@th.podcastIf that's the story you wanna go with
@@ChrisAlbertH47It's literally an anecdote?
The student protests are making the universitys throughout the world appear to be more closely like the lives of Palestenian People Living In Palestine and occupied by the zionist state.
They are terrorists
It's like Biden and Trump have coordinated messaging so they don't sound the same. But on principle, they are.
They both support Israel I’m not voting for either candidate
FJB, he did this to USA 🇺🇸
Trump giving Israel Jerusalem and Golan Heights worsened the situation too. Both bad choices. Neither candidate really cares about the people, they just do what's best for their wealthy mega donors.
And Jill and the rest of his handlers.
All the time we thought that Israel was the 51st state. It's actually other way round. The US is now an Israeli state.
United States of Israel🤷♀
Exactly Israel owns America
what the f is he talking about? Pro palestinian protests never were antisemitic. the pro israeli protesters and the police were violent!
he just reading from the teleprompter what some zionist politician wrote.
Stop genocide in GAZA 😢 Save the humanity 😢 Love All beaver students ❤ No democracy in USA
Numb numb numb nut.
People have a right to LIVE!! Until the genocide in Palestine is stopped...we won't stop!
🇵🇸✊🏽🇵🇸
Where were your chants at with Ukraine, Afghanistan, China, Russia, and so on? Do you even know your history and or why your even protesting? if so then you should of been protesting long ago!!!! Do you know your foreign Policy and why it exist? IF so then why Lawlessness ? There is a Difference, with a peace full protest GET A PERMIT protest; but it isnt. IF YOUR TOLD YOUR NOT ALLOWED ON CAMPUS TO CHANT OR PROTEST THEN YOUR NOT ALLOWED!! ITS NOT FOR YOUR TO CHOOSE TO BREAK LAW TO PROTEST. STUDENTS ARE NOT ALL PEACEFUL AND ALL ARE NOT STUDENTS !!!!! THAT IS THE WHOLE THING! SO THIS IS WHY YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS. NOT ALL ARE STUDENTS!!
You do not chant out racist remarks and create Anarchy! You should be ashamed of yourselves for those kind of actions and brining disgrace to our country and our military soliders for touching our Amercian flag the way others have! Each person that is doing these actions should be charged with domestic terrorist charges and should not be led out of jail.
US, Demoracy does not come with infringing on others rights, freedoms! Our American protestors would not be able to do this in Palestine or any other country, putting up our American flag and chant out loud the nonsense your chanting with out being attacked or arrested. but here our students are chanting PALESTINE, and any individual's from other countries in the US there is a reason why your here in our country, so for you to chant out and asked our Goverment to do this or that, is outrageous. Our founding fathers and our military that fought for our country democracy and freedom while you are in our country you are treated with respect given the rights as a US but any of our US citizens wouldnt be given the same if in any other country. I traveled around the world and saw first hand the Difference and understood no doubt. So please if any one individual US or not, you have the choice and freedom to get on a plane and leave our country if you do not agree with our laws or international policy its not perfect but it is our country.
Many of those are not all students its individual mixing in with the students and creating hostility and violence encouraging giving mis-information that is the problem coming around and feeding our people with nonsense. Just stop or get out of our Country!! its that simple.
The only thing that needs to stop is Hamas. Palestinians need a democracy and a social condition that includes freedom of speech.
Lol, Hippie and Muslima is an oxymoron. Mo will order his mininions to throw you of a building if you are a hippie. Hippies are pro homosexuality and wearing revealing clothes and against "Prophets" doing 9y' olds
This guy just wants your vote.
I hope he doesn't get your votes.
Palestyna FREE❤❤❤
Yeah, most politicians in democratic countries fight not to get your vote right?
So it seems that Selective free speech is the norm from now on...
Under this president... It has Always been Selective free speach!!
Unfortunately free speech does not include intimidating people and damaging property that does not belong to you
he's talking about protester breaking the law while letting and supplying weapons for israel to break international law
He is lying with straight face.
Looks like your face is an even bigger lie.
He’s done! Maybe he can run for office over in I$rael when he loses here since he cares more about them than us Americans
So why don't you listen to those young people?
Quelle galère pour les années à venir pour les jeunes étudiants
Qui vont gérer les démocraties 😂
Its kind that Bibi let Joe say some nice words.
Do we have a third party option. Both are disgusting!
Jill stein and green party
Exactly I’m not voting both are trash 🗑️
Resignation please mr president of America
actor!!!! don't underestimate our wisdom
What’s with his chin? Very odd
your wisdom?;)))
How come you didn't list throwing fireworks, aka counter protest violance
Viva protesters!! Stay strong ! The world is with you!!
It is right time of Biden's kick out
Everything this guy is talking about is exactly what Israel is doing to Palestine, so he needs to practice what he preaches or just stop talking because he’s just trying to deter people from doing the right thing. Remember during the civil rights when the dogs attacked the blacks and the white cops let them what he’s saying nothing about that is he?
You're highly confused.
@@naturallygorg85and you are delusional
He doesn't know what he's talking about. Completely senil reading a teleprompter
Lol, you mean the peacefull protest of oct 7, you know, the peacefull protest in peoples homes and the nova festival?
Never did I think a Game of Thrones quote would accurately sum up hypocrisy of a government in real life. “Everything before the word but is horseshit”.
I've always thought "after But comes Bullshit".
I've always thought, "After but comes Bullshit".

What a freedom loving nation. How funny
Bravo 🎉
How funny, I dare you to wear a skirt just for fun in Palesine without a head covering.
If it is a matter of Fairness, Then how come 40,000+ children, women and elderly dying in Gaza by American bomb under 6 month is fair, Mr. President??? That is why Students are Angry, Cause You first allowed the Unfairness to Go on in Gaza.
People in Gaza are suffering because you and them are supporting terrorist
What a poor choice Americans have! Tgey have to choose between these 2
Yes, a criminal and dictator wannabe VS genocide joe
Il n'y a personne d'autre pour se présenter à ces élections que Biden à la sénilité galopante et Trump le corrompu ??? Les États Unis sont grands, et pas d'autres leaders pour se présenter face à ces deux là ???
Yes, it's awful.
NO you don't. Be brave for once. Jill Stein.
@@jennybleasdale1815Jenny , you might be a good person but you look stoned , smoking that cigarette. I would be kind and listen to you , but probably not take your advice.
Shame on
That piece of garbage really shows how much he cares he wouldn't even stick around and answer questions
Peaceful protests were handled with intimidation and violence, thats my America...
thats funny joe. remember yesterday when you said the law does not apply to your war crimes?
So he is decrying the behavior of the pro genocide "counter protestors"? That is the only way to match this statement up with what is happening on some of these campuses.
And someone lower the "property damage is not violence" sign a bit so it is in reach, we are gonna be tapping it a lot again...
How can anyone vote for this man?
Its called democracy. Maybe that is a foreign notion to you? The greater number of citizens voted for him. The USA is not run like Palestine by Hamas.
@@B.Mann-rf9wh I realize the numbers were there. That's what I don't get
@@johnkellet9245 Numbers for?
It's interesting that Mr. Biden does not address the issue of the reason people are protesting. He only addressed the way people are protesting.
Where Muslim country’s University.
Bidean is big liar in the world.
Very democratic way of giving a speech, running away right after he talks. 😅😂
He ran away feeling guilty from his speech 😂
And killing innocent women and children is ?
Novara Media had a fantastic take on this yesterday, making the point that the campuses insist they need to act in the way they are because of vague fears that one group might be unsafe. But that safety is coming at the cost of real actual, physical violence against another group. That same logic was what drove apartheid in my country. As far as I can tell from everything I've watched, the violence was almost entirely caused by police and counter protestors. Radical right-wing counter protestors attacked peaceful encampments, tried to get anti-semetic chants going and spread lies about being stabbed in their eyes. Yet the condemnation and police actions have been entirely against the protestors. Alos, some real angry grampa energy at that lectern.
This is the Very Same Line of Bullshit that the Commies (Democrats) spouted over the Antifa/BLM garbage, but this time it is true huh.
No one believes this BS, even the people who support the statement.
You people wanted this Government, now you don't, no Surprise there, and you think these people are your friends.
When you will Lie to get someone into Office, don't be surprised when they lie to you.
The closest one to Satan is the one who causes the most mischievous deviation among people.
Sounds like pedo Mo.
Mr.president. We need a permanent ceasefire now. Free Free Palestine
Maybe you should ask Hamas for ceasefire and a return of the women and children they kidnapped.
Lololol he's basically saying they failed to change his mind at all 🤣🤣🤣
Lip service
Sounds like you have even less to say. At least he formulated ideas.
@@B.Mann-rf9wh huhh! He is commiting genocide....he is formulating ideas for commiting genocide..... how dare you support a genocide...... please be a human first 😄
*_"Racism is un-american."_*
The definition of 'far fetched' ... Oo
Exactly the lies 😂😂😂
What is peaceful protest? when Israeli supporters broke in and assaulted Palestinian supporters. ?
You messed up our young generation in America
No, Mo messed up the whole world
Free Palestine
Mr. Biden, learn from the fate of Nixon and the Vietnam War.
Are you vote for Genocide investor...?
And still saying it for humanity ??
Quote: "People have a right to education" - do that also apply to the people in Gaza, Mr. President???
But he never mentioned zios attacked the peaceful encampment with fireworks 💀
I believe in free speech and the right to protest But
Thoughts and prayers for Americans whose choices come down to a despot wannabe or a genocide enabler 🙏
That is right, the choice is very limited and the two choice are Bad 😔
It was peaceful full until the police came
Peacefull for the protestors that were blocking other students from going to class
Creeping authoritarianism
In Palestine you mean.
Have you talked with any of the students who are protesting? Have you talked with faculty members? Support for Palestine is not anti-semitism. I am SO disappointed in you, Mr. President.
We all heard from the river to sea and US campuses must from be free from Jews, guess they are welcome if they pay the Jizyah.
The rule of law 🙄
His son, how rich they are and people behind from the war in gaza. Not US people
How that mighty country has fallen! I can't see what the future is for America!
But it seemed peaceful protests were not heard until it became violent
Free Palestine 🇵🇸
"This is not a time for politics". My dude, what do you think arming "Israel" is?
What about discrimination against prolife groups for years? College administrators ignored these threats for years.
Veto Brandon at the polls.
People have the right to protest against genocide in Gaza
But when it comes to Israel, all bets are off.
After Biden, who comes ? Trump, but he is just other side of the coin as regards to policies on middle east. America should look for a better choice to sustain as world leader
These students have more conscience than all those old cargoes!!
He blatantly says his policy of supplying bombs to murder will not change in spite of the protests. Then the solution is to simply vote him out. No ifs and buts about Trump.
What about protests in Tel Aviv? are those jews antisemitic?
Also Remember the attitude of American politicians during the Hong Kong student riots in 2019? Compare their attitude towards American college students now, and you will feel disgusted.
Aljazera still maintains the students were peaceful. But aljazera fails to mention the students were breaking usa laws.
MLK broke Jim Crow laws and was jailed multiple times fighting segregation
😜😆👎🏼
Why is trump on trial if there's free speech?
I don’t think he even wants to reelected he’s just doing his part of the corporate agenda.
funding illegal wars, war crimes, against the laww..
Wow he has no guts to even mention why and what the protesters demanding😂😂
"protests are fine they just have to follow the law"... then on the same day the House passes a law that would make any criticism of Israel inherently illegal and 'hate speech'....
Its past his bedtime thats why he couldn't finish his useless speech...
The RIGHT TO NOT BE BOMBED IN THEIR BEDS - FGJB
This is a joke
Summary : we draw lines, then you can play in this area as if there is free speech, but remember only inside the lines we draw
You are a lawless country and said nothing of value.
Self interest? Simply mad? stupid? ugly?
It's OK everyone! CNN, MSNBC, AND FOX NEWS all stand for the RIGHT of Israel to protest Free Speech in AMERICA!
