I'm not going to engage in that kind of speculation, but let me just. Say that I said it. Not yet. Let me just say this. The issue is free speech in proper tension with the rule of law. You have to maintain the rule of law. And when people start breaking the law, they need to be arrested. The protest needs to be shut down if they're blocking access or they're otherwise breaking the law. And it's that simple. I don't. And every situation is different. You've seen, you know, Columbia, you've seen UCLA, you've seen UC Irvine. Every situation is different. (14:48–15:07)

CLAIM

Asserts that free speech must be balanced with the rule of law, and illegal protests should be shut down.
