Pro-Palestine protesters have taken over college campuses across America, from Columbia University in New York to The George Washington University in DC and Cal Poly Humboldt in California. Over the weekend, the protesters set up autonomous zones in solidarity with Gaza, held Islamic prayer sessions, and chanted about intifada. Glenn and Stu review some of the most insane clips. But one of the craziest ones is out of Canada, where protesters chanted "long live October 7th." And if that wasn't ignorant enough, Glenn also reviews a clip of a drag queen leading children in a chant of "free Palestine."

STU: Well, what a weekend it was. What a weekend it was.
The constant protests, I guess are the big story, over the weekend.
And it doesn't seem to be stopping.
Seems to be the only thing that Americans want to do these days. Is protest the right of Israel to exist.
That's apparently controversial now.
It's amazing to see this happen.
We're seeing university after university after university, step up. and decide that the hill they are going to die on is the hill that supports Hamas. This is apparently a popular position in this country. And an incredible moment that we're in right now.
Let's -- let's go to sot one, if we could, on our list. I'm not sure if are these available. Having a little bit of a technical issue. There we go. We're having an Islamic prayer being held.
(music)
I have this album.
(music)
Just bought it on vinyl. Now, these are the quietest of the protests around the country. Most of this really weren't like this. Outside of the White House Correspondents' Dinner. There was more protesting going on. This is...
Missing the visuals here. You have -- so bizarre.
VOICE: Wiped off the face of --
GLENN: So this is someone dressed as an Israeli soldier, and there's a bunch of blindfolded, shirtless people who get hit by blue powder and collapse, which is making a good point.
GLENN: No. I think this is -- this is the really killing the white man. Which is supposed to be the Palestinian. But they're white men. Most of them. Which I think just makes it even more confusing for anybody who was -- who was watching.
STU: Yeah.
GLENN: You know, I have to go back to the Islamic prayer. I mean, I don't know about you. I miss it times. Could you play the -- could you go back and play the Islamic prayer for me, please?
If you happen to be watching TheBlaze, I just want to describe the Islamic prayer here.
Everybody is on a prayer rug there at Columbia University.
It's a beautiful, beautiful scene.
And -- yes.
And this guy is very, very popular in the upper east side.
So you have people, you know, on a prayer run. We had to go to the Supreme Court to get the coach to be able to pray by himself on the field, after a football game.
But this is totally cool. And the next thing is, they're including women in the call to prayer. Which is very popular, in the Middle East.
They love it, when a woman gets down and pray right looping side the men. It is -- it's wonderful. It's truly, truly wonderful.
Now, let's go to cut four. This is in Canada. This is in Vancouver. Right. Okay. Can we stop there for just a second.
Stu, can you just explain? The geography of Israel. I know there's the sea, on the west coast of Israel. What's on the east coast of Israel, or the easternmost, furthest east you could go?
STU: That would be a river, Glenn.
GLENN: That would be --
STU: Yeah. So what's interesting about this. That's how you know it's an aspirational call for unity. From the river to the sea. So that Palestine, will just take over everything from Israel. There will be no Jews left.
That's the call for unity. It's aspirational.
GLENN: Unity. Okay. It's an aspirational call for unity. That sounds very specific, that language. Like, that's what they're saying on college campuses.
STU: And Rashida Tlaib, right out of her mouth.
GLENN: Okay. Good.
So an aspirational call for unity. The only thing you could be unified on is get rid of all the Jews. Because that means there is no Israel.
So no two-state solution.
STU: Yeah, that was another slogan.
We don't want no two-state. We want everything. That was the chant that was coming down.
GLENN: Right. Well, but see, they make it clear.
They want everything. And we don't want no -- no one state. So they've got a double negative there.
Which means they want a two-state solution.
And they say, we want everything. And that must include a one state and a two-state solution.
So I think that is very, very clear. Now, can we go on and play what they were saying in Canada. It was cut four.
VOICE: We demand a free Palestine. From the river to the sea.
GLENN: Yeah.
VOICE: And we stand with the Palestinian resistance, and their heroic, and brave action on October 7th.
They said, long live October 7th.
And we say, today, long live October 7th!
VOICE: Long live October 7th.
STU: Oh, my God.
GLENN: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
You know, I love it when the Nazis are like, long live the Holocaust. You know.
Hey, long those cool -- really cool showers and oven system that we came up with.
You know, that --
STU: Clunky slogan.
GLENN: It's a clunky slogan. But -- but a true slogan.
STU: But the equivalent of what they're saying. The equivalent of what they're saying on these college campuses. The ones that everybody in the media seem to be supporting.
Long live freaking October 7th. I mean, can you be any more -- I don't know, Glenn. Is this one still borderline? Is this one anti-Semitic, or are we not sure? Is this an aspirational call for unity? I can't quite tell.
GLENN: Well, we know it's brave. We know it's brave. Well, October 7th was a very brave day. It was brave and heroic what they did. Really.
STU: Really?
GLENN: Yeah. Do you think it takes courage to go molest, slaughter, and then burn babies? Sure. Sure, it takes courage to do that. You might get caught and then seen for the monster that you really are.
But in this case, no. They're celebrated. So it's brave and historic.
Now, in California. Cal Poly, cut five.
Does this have audio with it?
STU: We're seeing the video of this. Apparently, no sound to it.
Yet again, graffiti, inside the hallways here. Some words we maybe don't say on the radio.
To recap.
GLENN: Are they grown up words?
STU: They're grown up words. Big girl, big boy words.
This has been just people ruining the facilities, and it's very messy. And there's graffiti everywhere inside the building.
It's wonderful. This is another aspirational call.
GLENN: You remember, kill all the Jews. Kill all the Jews. It helps you remember all of that.
Now, beyond kill all the Jews. There's something new they're calling for. Cut 48, please.
This is in Germany, of all places. The big Palestinian uprising in Germany this weekend. And what are they calling for?
STU: It doesn't sound good. Never sounds good in German.
GLENN: No. That's not in German. That's in Arabic.
Whenever you get someone in German going, (foreign language). No matter what language it is, you know it's trouble. Don't worry, they were just calling for a caliphate. So they're not wanting to bring the Nazis back. They just want a caliphate.
STU: Aspirational.
GLENN: Yeah. Very inspirational. Now, if I could just get the drag queens and the caliphate people, you know. If I could just get them together, one stop shop, I think we would be set.
Here's cut 30.
VOICE: Today what we're going to do is we're going to shout, free Palestine. Can we do that?
VOICE: Free Palestine.
VOICE: Shout.
VOICE: Free Palestine.
GLENN: Oh.
VOICE: You know it, and you really want to show. You're a drag queen and you know it, shout.
VOICE: Free Palestine!
GLENN: See, this is the united message, we can get the kids involved too. Because we have a drag queen. And if you're a drag queen and you know it. Shout free Palestine.
So it's one place, we can get both of those things, where we can all come together.
STU: Hmm. Yeah.
That's an amazing clip. I think -- now, this is just me speculating, Glenn.
Because I'm not a travel agent.
I don't work for a tourism board.
But I do wonder how that particular event will go down, if held in Gaza. Would it be different? Because they are cheering on Palestine. Obviously, there's some affinity there. The drag queen story hour group, reading to, let's say, the Gazan children. How would that work out in Gaza itself?
GLENN: You know, it's funny you should ask that, Stu. You may not be a travel agent. Or work for some sort of tourism.
But you are a thinker. You are a thinker. This has thank you.
GLENN: And that's really what counts.
Here's the good news: They -- the protesters are going to love it! They're going to love it.
What happened in Iraq? Just this weekend? They made it illegal to be on the spectrum. The sexual spectrum at all. You're either a man or a woman. Men have sex with women. Women have sex with men.
Now, that's not all the time. Because, you know, there's a shortage of women over in the Middle East. Sometimes they have to get a little of them going on with the younger men, you know what I mean? You know what I'm saying?
But we don't talk about that. I didn't say any of that. I don't even know what you're talking about. Say, what?
But so they've outlawed now homosexuality, which is weird, because Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, he said, at one point, I think it was at Columbia University, when asked about them gays. He said, we don't have any gay people in Iran.
And lo and behold, they're going to make that wish come true. So you have that going for you.
Also, by the way, they just killed their third -- where is this story? Their third TikToker. She was -- no. Seriously, she was -- no. She was -- she was -- well, she's dead. She's dead.
She was a very popular influencer, in Iran.
And she's a woman. And she was shown dancing.
But she wasn't just dancing. She was wearing jeans. And they were a little too tight.
Me personally, I don't -- I don't mind, you know, some sort of law, against jeans that are too tight on some people.
You know what I'm saying?
You know, you walk around Walmart, once in a while. And they're like, oh. Those don't work on you, honey.
But I don't want to see you execute it. But she was executed, because they were a little too tight. And too suggestive.
And she was laying in a bed. Well, she was reading her son a good night story.
But she was still in those jeans laying on a bed. So they had to execute her, over the weekend. So the crackdown continues.
And, hey, all you people on campus, with your little rug prayer thing. With the woman right next to you.
You know how popular that's going to be. And all you drag queens, oh. They love you.
They love you. In fact, I am going to set up a personal fund. If you're a drag queen. If you are a gay activist.
And you're out, because you love it. And you show it. Clap your hands!
I am going to go ahead, and having you airfare from wherever I live in the United States. To the Gaza Strip.
Okay? And bring your pamphlets. Bring your pamphlets. Bring your best wigs and your spikey high heels. Bays they are going to love you there.
And when you stop writing us, or calling us, we'll know exactly how much they love you.
Over there. So maybe we could send that as a message to all of your friends over here. What the hell is wrong with you?
STU: Glenn, you were running through those wonderful stories in the Middle East.
And you mentioned Iran and Ahmadinejad, and a bunch of stories that happened in Iraq. And you kind of went back and forth. I don't know if people followed that exactly.
Because it was Iran, who had said there was no gays, years and years ago in Columbia. And both of the stories banning homosexuality and the TikToker being executed, both happen in Iraq.
And what I found fascinating about that is, we should be able to tell the difference. Right?
We were supposedly helping out this country, so that it did not end up like Iran.
GLENN: Stop it. It's only a trillion dollars. It's only a trillion dollars.
You get what you pay for.
You want to go in half-assed like that. You get what you pair pay for.
Now, 2 trillion. 2 trillion.
That just is somebody who mildly hates gays.
No. No. But, yeah. We didn't do the job. So what we did. We empowered the head of the snake.
We made the head of the snake even more powerful.
The head of the snake, over in the Middle East. Is Iran.
And now it's -- now you have Iranian Shias all over in Iraq.
And so they're doing the thing that Shias love. And that's kill people, that disagree with them.
Wow, that's weird. Because wow, that's almost like the left here in America.
Oh, I see what they have in common. They just like silencing people. Throwing them in jail. Or killing them. If they disagree with them. Wow. Too bad we can't get them to agree on the same kind of people.
Or we should get the two of them together. Oh. Because they'll like each other.
A lot. No. No. No.
I think the left, when they get there, they will be like, hi. Everybody.
We brought birthday cakes. And candles. And we will decorate this mosque all up. And they'll love it! In the Shiite world.
STU: These regimes that you're talking about there, too. They're not the ones to fear.
It's Donald Trump.
Trump is the one to fear.
Like, that's the guy. If you have to be really terrified about something coming down the road.
It's definitely not the Islamic extremist regimes we're discussing.
It's, instead, the -- the -- the tyranny of the -- you know, real estate developer from Manhattan.
GLENN: Yeah. You know, he want -- he's a man of tyranny. It's clear. He hates them gays so much.
He was the first president to, you know, open a party openly. And say, hey. I'm going to appoint gay people openly.
I will have the first gay person speak on the podium. I will be the first president that actually runs and say, I don't have a problem with gay people. You know, you got to fear him. But the guy who wants to chop your pee-pee off. And throw you off a building.
You know, that happens to be, coming across our border right now. Don't fear him.
There's nothing to fear there. Nothing to worry about.
