00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:01,080
Speaker 1: Can't.

2
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:02,279
Speaker 2: I am six forty.

3
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 3: You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 3: You can hear us from one until four, and then

5
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,239

6
00:00:10,240 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 3: on demand the podcast on the iHeart app. I missed

7
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 3: all the excitement last night. I jeez, sorry, guy had

8
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,319
Speaker 3: a covered. I wouldn't want to be near you if

Speaker 3: we get fired on it's going to take you away

10
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: too long. Uh So last night I sleep really deeply.

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 4: You're so lucky.

12
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:37,680
Speaker 3: I have no trouble sleeping. And I went fell asleep

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 3: like around quarter to ten, and maybe I'll get up

14
00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:42,360
Speaker 3: once a night to.

15
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 2: Go to the bathroom. And that's what happened.

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,520
Speaker 3: And I faintly heard the boom, boom boom the helicopters,

17
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 3: and my wife says, oh, they're they're having a big

18
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 3: riot at UCLA, and I just mumbled something back to

19
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 3: back to bed.

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: I don't.

21
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 3: I didn't want to be lurded to turn on on

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 3: the TV and watching it because then I'd get caught

23
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 3: up and I wouldn't sleep for two hours. So it's like,

24
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,880
Speaker 3: you know what, I'd whatever the carnage is going to be.

25
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 3: It's still going to be there the next morning. Blake

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 3: trolley is reporting now from UCLA to see the warning

27
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 3: the afternoon. After all the excitement last night, I see

28
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 3: what's going on there, Blake, how are you?

29
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 5: I'm good, John, those commercials for it or since in

30
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 5: the history of.

31
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 2: Time start over again because you got blacked out there.

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 5: I said, the commercials for itt Tech have never made

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 5: more sense in history.

34
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can see that. I mean, I can't believe.

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: I cannot believe the students have to put up with this,

36
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 3: and I can't believe how there's nobody willing to clear

37
00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: everything out for the sake of people going to class

38
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 3: or exams or whatever they're doing at UCLA this week.

39
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: I'm just absolutely flabbergasted by that. Yeah.

40
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 5: So, just to recap John, last night, things did get

41
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 5: pretty heated here when counter protesters stormed the pro Palestinian

42
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 5: encampment trying to remove the barriers. That sparked fights breaking out.

43
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 5: Fireworks were actually launched into the Pro Palestinian camp again,

44
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 5: this is from counter protesters, and fights broke out. People

45
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 5: were spraying bear spray at each other. I rolled up

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 5: to campus this morning around three point thirty and things

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 5: were still pretty heated. I saw a couple really heated

48
00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 5: arguments that I thought may actually turn violent. People were

49
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 5: still chanting. And mind you, this is three point thirty

50
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 5: in the morning. I would only imagine this started way

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 5: earlier the next day. Are they by all those fights?

52
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 5: There was still a lot of energy on campus.

53
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: Are they all jacked up on meth or cocaine?

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,799
Speaker 3: I mean, how did they keep the energy going to

55
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 3: three thirty in the morning and they're willing to fight

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 3: over something that they have no control over.

57
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 5: Well, one thing I do want to point out, John,

58
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: is that applies are pouring into the camp.

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 6: I sent some video over to your team. You could

60
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 6: check that out.

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 5: A couple of things that are happening right now as

62
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 5: things are a lot quieter, and keep in mind, things

63
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 5: may be way quieter tonight. As law enforcement has built

64
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 5: a I don't know, two hundred foot maybe three hundred

65
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,079
Speaker 5: foot maybe hundred yard barrier between the pro Palestinian encampment

66
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 5: and the rest of campus. That said, you know what

67
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 5: we're seeing right now in that Pro Palestinian encampment is

68
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,520
Speaker 5: that they are reinforcing that barrier. So there's a metal

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 5: kind of fence. You see it at events, you know

70
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 5: those little metal fences you wait in line with.

71
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:36,560
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're reinforcing the.

72
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 5: Bottom of that with palettes, and then they're putting higher up.

73
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 5: They're putting that same plywood board that you've been seeing up,

74
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 5: So they are reinforcing them.

75
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: The police are the Palestinian protesters.

76
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 5: The pro Palestinian protesters are putting all those materials up

77
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 5: and then around the backside. And I just tweeted some

78
00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 5: video of this. Supplies are pouring in. I saw plywood.

79
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 5: It looks like some sort of groceries they're pouring in.

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: Why is the administration allowing this?

81
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 3: Why don't they kick off all the protesters and dismantle

82
00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 3: all the barriers and stop anything from coming on campus.

83
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, So the administration came out yesterday and they said

84
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 5: that this camp is unlawful and that students participating in

85
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 5: it will be punished, and that people who are not

86
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 5: students could be criminally charged. That said, all we've seen

87
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 5: so far is police getting involved in with the means

88
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 5: of separating protesters.

89
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,480
Speaker 6: Now, John, I do want to go to this.

90
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 5: You know, protesters for a while have not been the

91
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 5: most media friendly. I'm sure you've played some of the clips,

92
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 5: We've seen some of the clips of media trying to

93
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 5: speak with protesters. Well, today they are being a little

94
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 5: bit more chatty. And I had this conversation with a

95
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,679
Speaker 5: twenty year old protester who was willing to talk to media,

96
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 5: and the first or one of the first things I

97
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 5: wanted to know was, what will your response be if

98
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 5: law enforcement comes in here and uh and tries to

99
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 5: dismantle this camp it has been deemed unlawful. Take a listen,

100
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: would you guy? What will this scenario be though? If

101
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 5: law enforcement comes in and does try to clear the encampment?

102
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 5: What kind of response are Do you have one planned

103
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 5: or do you guys have a plan if that happens?

104
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: Mmm? I think like it's important to it's it's more

105
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 1: important to think about why the university is calling law

106
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: enforcement on us, Like why why number one did they

107
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: not for so long? Like like when they meant the

108
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 1: law enforcement didn't do anything to protect.

109
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 2: Us at all.

110
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: If you look at the videos, the cops stood in

111
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 1: a line and watched, the campus security left, the private

112
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: security stood and watched and laughed and looked at us, right,

113
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: and so yeah, that's uh, we don't see them as

114
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: as protectors. We don't see them as here to to

115
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: take care of us. We don't see them as here

116
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: to stop the violence at all. We're gonna protect ourselves.

117
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: We're gonna protect each other. That's all I can say

118
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: to that, really, But I mean, we're saying until divestment, divestment, divestment.

119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 4: Divestment, that is our goal.

120
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 2: That is what we're here for.

121
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: We're here for Palestine, We're here for Gazza, and so

122
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 1: you know, we're going to be brave.

123
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,600
Speaker 2: We're going to stay here.

124
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: If the university tries to kick us out, Ask the

125
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 1: university why they're trying to kick us out. Ask the

126
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: university why they're trying to stifle student protests, why they're

127
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,200
Speaker 1: refusing to meet us at the bargaining table, why they're

128
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: refusing to protect us. Right, that's who the aggressor is here.

129
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 5: You have like a list of businesses that you would

130
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 5: like them to divest from. Is there like a specific

131
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 5: set list of businesses?

132
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,000
Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, this is this is you know, the boycott,

133
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 1: divest sanctions list is extremely public like and like people

134
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: know who these companies are divesting from. Warren Weapons Manufacturing

135
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: companies we're divesting from, you know, universities in Israel, things

136
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: like that. The lists have been since to the administration.

137
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: They've known what our demands were since before this encampment

138
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: was up. We've been fighting this fight all year, like

139
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: they have known, like a BDS resolution was passing twenty

140
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 1: fourteen at UCLA. They know, they know what our demands are.

141
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,039
Speaker 1: They know who we are trying.

142
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,600
Speaker 2: To get them to boycott and our demands.

143
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: It's no secret. And now it's time for them to

144
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 1: meet us there and to do it. Mm hmm.

145
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 7: Thursday, there seem to be black clad people, young men

146
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 7: rather large. One of them identified and himself to me

147
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 7: as IDF. Have you have you heard anything like that?

148
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 7: I mean, it seems like there's actual people connected to

149
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 7: Israeli armed forces here.

150
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's there's there's ex iOS soldiers who are in

151
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: who are parts of the people who are who have

152
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: been harassing us and threatening us and attacking us for days.

153
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: They proudly wear IDF jackets IOF jackets around campus. They

154
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: proudly you know, claim themselves to be you know, part

155
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: of this the militants ions entity. And one of our

156
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: demands right is an end to policing. That is because

157
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: the university partners with entities like lapd UCPD Dana that

158
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: train with the IOF. So they like these again, these

159
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: individual people who are coming here to harass and attack us.

160
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: They are a problem. But the bigger problem is that

161
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: universities partner with with Israel. Universities partner with the the

162
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: mass croseral system. Right, that's here too, and it's people.

163
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,960
Speaker 1: And so where we end policing here, we want to

164
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: end policing there. We want to end the genocide there.

165
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 7: At the same time, you would rather that police maybe

166
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 7: step in at.

167
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 4: Some point last night.

168
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 1: I wouldn't necessarily say that, No, I don't think cops

169
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: are the entities that are going to protect us, right,

170
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 1: but it is telling. It is telling of the university's

171
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: priorities and of their their concerns about our safety. They

172
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: would have let us die, They would have watched us die.

173
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 1: We were there for seven hours, like they would have

174
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: just like waited for some terrible, terrible thing to retout

175
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,199
Speaker 1: any intervention. They didn't even call the police until three

176
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: hours in. And it's not that we're asking for police

177
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 1: presence because you see what they're doing in intensity. We

178
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: don't want more cops on campus, like our demands are

179
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: cops off campus. However, when you see like the fact

180
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: that the university didn't use any of these measures, they

181
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: didn't send us ambulances either, right, they didn't send US police,

182
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:52,040
Speaker 1: but they also didn't send us ambulances. They didn't send

183
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: US medics, they didn't send us water, they didn't send

184
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: us de escalators. They didn't tell the non students to

185
00:08:57,679 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 1: get off our campus and to stop harassing us.

186
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 6: So there you have a little bit of it.

187
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 5: And what's interesting is that it starts with a complaint

188
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 5: that the police were standing back, but then there's also

189
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 5: this notion that we don't even want them on campus.

190
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 3: So that was one of the funniest recordings I've heard.

191
00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 3: Can you do you send that to the guys over here.

192
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, there's there's a lot more of that job that.

193
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 3: What you got there is fine. I want to hold

194
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 3: on to that. Uh, do you have anything else? Because

195
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 3: I got more?

196
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 6: You know what I got more? We can we should

197
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 6: do another segment.

198
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,319
Speaker 3: Okay, then we will. Uh right, we've got more from

199
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 3: Blake Trolley U c l A.

200
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:39,839
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM sixty.

201
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 2: More Blake trolley at u C l A.

202
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 3: Last night the Palestinian protesters uh got invaded by some

203
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 3: pro Israeli protesters and the fighting went on for several

204
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 3: hours before the police bothered to break things up and Blake,

205
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 3: what else do you have there?

206
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: Yeah?

207
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: So, John, just a few minutes ago, we were airing

208
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 5: some of that interview with a protester. And as you'll remember,

209
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,199
Speaker 5: protesters have not been friendly so far since they set

210
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 5: up this encampment last week.

211
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 6: This was set up last Thursday.

212
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 5: Some reporters have tried to get on the encampment, they

213
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 5: have not been granted access. Today we were not granted access.

214
00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 5: But one thing that we did see was protesters come

215
00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 5: to the line to speak with media, and I happened

216
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 5: to be there, so I was able to speak with

217
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 5: one of the one of the protesters there. So we'll

218
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,319
Speaker 5: kick things off with her, and then we'll go into

219
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 5: another student I spoke with who he's neutral in this.

220
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 5: I mean, he's not a pro Israeli supporter, he's not

221
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 5: a pro Palestinian supporter. He's just a student who's fed

222
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 5: up with seeing all of it on campus.

223
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 6: But we'll start here.

224
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: This is the same protester that you heard from telling

225
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 5: us really an array of different things. At the last break,

226
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 5: I had asked her here we'll kick things off where

227
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 5: I ask her what she makes of the university's response

228
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 5: to the camp. What is your response to the school

229
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 5: calling this encampment unlawful and ordering essentially asking everybody to

230
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: leave and saying that students will be punished.

231
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 6: What is your reaction to that?

232
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 9: M It's.

233
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: It's infuriating, right, it's really infuriating. We have our if

234
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,840
Speaker 1: you step foot in our encampment, like the spirit there

235
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,439
Speaker 1: is deeply nonviolent, Like it is like we just have

236
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 1: we have food tents, we have medic tents, we have

237
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 1: we have a library. We're reading books to each other,

238
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 1: We're teaching each other about things. We're learning how to

239
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 1: do Palestinian traditional dances. We're like we're writing talk on

240
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,800
Speaker 1: the ground like like this is a this is a

241
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 1: community that is meant to to you know, dancing talk

242
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: up the university environment. But we are not here to

243
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: harm others at all. We are not here to harm people.

244
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 5: And you know, we just support and I've just seen

245
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 5: the claims, uh that there are claims that you guys

246
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 5: have kept students from getting to their classes.

247
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,880
Speaker 6: What do you make to those claims?

248
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: They're inaccurate, they're false, right, Like the encampment like has

249
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: taken up a enough space that we have to block

250
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: certain walkways. But they're like walkways to class.

251
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:04,079
Speaker 6: Right.

252
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 1: We are not saying you are not allowed to go

253
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: to class. We're saying you have to you have to

254
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:07,840
Speaker 1: take a couple more.

255
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 4: Feet to go around, and we have to do that

256
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: as well.

257
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 1: Like there are a few entrances and exits that we

258
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 1: can enter from, and then we cannot even get to

259
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: class at the usual routes, Like we have to block

260
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: so different claims that this is like, you know, we're

261
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 1: specifically targeting certain students not letting them go to class.

262
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: What we're not letting them do is enter the encampment

263
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:24,800
Speaker 1: when they're here to harass us.

264
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 2: She's for real, Huh, there's a lot of that.

265
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 6: That was a very long interview. That was about an

266
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 6: eleven minute interview.

267
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 2: My god, how did you take that?

268
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 5: You know, one of the one of the other reporters,

269
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 5: John took a little dig at at KFI that was

270
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 5: against the rail. He looked at me and said, well,

271
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,079
Speaker 5: you know, right wing media's here. I can't wait to

272
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 5: see the narrative that comes up, comes out of this,

273
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 5: comes out of this guy essentially, which.

274
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: Everybody I didn't even.

275
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,599
Speaker 5: I didn't even you know, no, I didn't even have

276
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 5: a chance to respond. I want to go to this

277
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 5: student here. I tried to talk to a few students

278
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 5: this morning, and I mean, they're college kids, right, they

279
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 5: see the guy, the media guy you're laying so most

280
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 5: of them walked past. But I did talk to this

281
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 5: to this student, and he told me he's frustrated with

282
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 5: all of it, pro Palestinian supporters, pro Israeli supporters.

283
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 6: He says, he doesn't care, he's he's over all of it.

284
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 10: It's a total disruption. It's not fair to the students.

285
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 10: It's it's definitely not fair to Yeah, it's not fair

286
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 10: to student, it's not fair to administration. It's not fair

287
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 10: to anybody. You know, this is going to affect more

288
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 10: people than they anybody who's involved in here is ever

289
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 10: going to realize and their their pride and their hubris

290
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 10: really contributed to this, and it's terrible.

291
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 6: What do you think the school should do about this?

292
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 10: I think anybody who is involved in organizing the protest

293
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 10: should be expelled. I think anybody who was involved in

294
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 10: the violence yesterday, whether or not they were a student,

295
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 10: should If they were a student, I think they should

296
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 10: be expelled. If not, I think, uh, you know, they

297
00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 10: should be arrested. Anybody who was involved in the violence

298
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 10: on either side.

299
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 5: Now, John, this guy, the most shocking thing he told me,

300
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 5: and it really stuck out to me, is that he

301
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,960
Speaker 5: is super surprised by who is actually staying in this

302
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 5: pro Palestinian encampment here on campus. He says he knows

303
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 5: some of these people inside, and these are people he

304
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 5: never thought would have been inside this camp. And you

305
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 5: really wonder, because we hear that blowback, where are the parents?

306
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 5: Where are the parents? I would assume based on what

307
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 5: he told me saying that he's surprised by some of

308
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 5: the people that he knows that are inside of here.

309
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 5: If a lot of parents just don't think it's their

310
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 5: little Johnny inside.

311
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, the of there's a lot of covert operations

312
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 3: going on at all these protests at these universities. Thank

313
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 3: you very much, Blake, it was highly entertaining. And send

314
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: that first clip over to our guys. Okay, I want

315
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 3: to all right, Yeah, I'll send it for later entertainment

316
00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 3: when we come back. We're going to talk with had

317
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 3: him on yesterday from News Nation, which is the new

318
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 3: cable news channel you ought to be watching. Rick McHugh.

319
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: He has been at Columbia University this week. He gave

320
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: us a great report yesterday. We're going to talk to

321
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,480
Speaker 3: him again in moments.

322
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI A

323
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 8: M six forty.

324
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: The whole thing is becoming a farce now, especially at UCLA.

325
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 3: We'll talk more coming up about Blake Trolley's reports and

326
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 3: that looney bit of a woman who was trying to

327
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:37,680
Speaker 3: explain all the demands they have. And apparently these pro

328
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 3: Haamas protesters think they own the public land at UCLA,

329
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 3: that it's their land. And shockingly, maybe not shockingly, Eugene

330
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 3: what's his name, Eugene Block, is that the chancellor.

331
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 2: Do they have a chancellor anymore UCLA? Do they have

332
00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: a guy?

333
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 3: Because he's letting them just see he's the land and

334
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 3: create all kinds.

335
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: Of all kinds of a ruckus.

336
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 3: And then you know, here comes some Israeli guys to

337
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:12,080
Speaker 3: teach the Palestinians a lesson Gene Gene right, jeene block,

338
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,240
Speaker 3: and so you had a big fistfight that goes on

339
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 3: for two or three hours. LAPD doesn't stop it. I

340
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,800
Speaker 3: guess UCLA didn't give him the go ahead on that.

341
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 3: But at UCLA's public land, it's not a private university

342
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 3: like Columbia. I don't understand any of this. I don't Well,

343
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 3: we'll talk more about it coming up, and now let's

344
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: go to Rich McHugh.

345
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 2: He's waiting.

346
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,520
Speaker 3: He's been at Columbia University this week and you probably

347
00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 3: saw the police in New York arrested almost three hundred

348
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: people and cleared about three dozen out of Hamilton Hall,

349
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 3: the administrative building the crazies had barricaded themselves inside.

350
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 2: Rich, First, what's going on right now.

351
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,080
Speaker 9: It's a lot quieter than it was last night's that's

352
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:02,400
Speaker 9: for sure, starting to resume get back to normal. Security

353
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 9: around campus is still heightened. Students only students really are

354
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 9: being allowed back in the campus. The main gates on

355
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 9: the West and East are still not open to the

356
00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 9: public they usually are. I expected that it's going to

357
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 9: remain that way for the foreseeable future because the students

358
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 9: I'm talking to think that this encampment will just go

359
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 9: right back up in the coming days. Despite the arrests overnight.

360
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,240
Speaker 3: I had heard that Columbia officials had requested NYPD presidents

361
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 3: at least through May seventeenth, which is two days after graduation.

362
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: Is that true? Have you heard anything like that?

363
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,560
Speaker 9: I have not heard that. That wouldn't surprise me. I know, graduation,

364
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 9: they're trying to graduate, you know, fifteen different thousand students

365
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 9: between all their various schools and undergrad and graduate, So

366
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 9: that wouldn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me if security

367
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 9: at the gate remains just extremely tight. The students that

368
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 9: were part of this that were arrested obviously probably expelled

369
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,879
Speaker 9: at this point, so their ideas won't be working. So

370
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 9: they've somewhat neutralized this problem for the foreseeable future. I

371
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 9: would say, But what happens outside the walls of Columbia,

372
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:28,480
Speaker 9: like I'm Amsterdam and Broadway, is anybody's guests, and seeing

373
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 9: how this is spreading even within New York City. Now

374
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 9: it's spread to Fordham, Cuny, the City College of New

375
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 9: York last night, and Fortam today. It looks like this

376
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 9: is just ramping up here and across the country.

377
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: I mean talk about eighteen hours before the police showed

378
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 3: up to remove the protesters that were barricaded in the

379
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 3: administrative building. And I had read that Columbia officials Border

380
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 3: trustees were meeting all night into the morning.

381
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 2: What took them so long to do? What is obvious?

382
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: Did you?

383
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 9: Well? They had essentially painted themselves into a corner. So

384
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 9: like two weeks ago they authorized police to come in

385
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 9: and arrest everybody. They did. They came in and arrested

386
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 9: I think it was one hundred and eight student protesters

387
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 9: on the encampment. There was outcry from faculty and the

388
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 9: Columbia Senate, I believe, and students. So the President of Columbia, Minusiafique,

389
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 9: weighing all that, came out with a statement last week says, look,

390
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 9: we regret the decision. We will not be doing that again.

391
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 9: And so when I think when the protesters heard this,

392
00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 9: they're like, well, look, we have carte blanche to kind

393
00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 9: of do whatever we want. And just so happens that

394
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 9: fifty six years ago to the day, student protesters took

395
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 9: over Hamilton Hall on Columbia's campus protesting the Vietnam War.

396
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:02,080
Speaker 9: At that time, NYPD was and they made seven hundred arrests.

397
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 9: It's not coincidence that this is fifty six years ago

398
00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 9: to the day that student protesters and protesters, I should say,

399
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 9: not just students protesters, because the NLPD made a big

400
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:19,280
Speaker 9: point this morning to say there are professional agitators in

401
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 9: the group. But this is not coincidence that this has

402
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 9: happened to the day fifty six years ago.

403
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:30,320
Speaker 3: Right, So Columbia says, jeez, we shouldn't have done that,

404
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 3: We shouldn't have had those protesters arrested. And they're shocked

405
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 3: that the protesters came back and barricaded themselves inside the building.

406
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 2: It's just it's just unbelievable.

407
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:45,679
Speaker 3: And I'm I saw some photos in video when that

408
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 3: crowd showed up, and they showed up, and they had furniture,

409
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 3: and they had gates, and they had all kinds of tools,

410
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 3: and the photographer took photos them all along the way.

411
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 3: It must have taken a little while to bring all

412
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 3: this stuff inside, to create the barricades and to bust

413
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 3: their way in, and nobody from the university tried to

414
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 3: stop them, no security personnel, no NYPD, everybody just let

415
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 3: them spend an extended amount of time to bust into

416
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 3: this place and then barricade the offices.

417
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 9: That's correct. There were a few campus security officials there

418
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 9: I think at the time, but they were quickly overrun

419
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 9: because what we heard today was that, look, they arrested

420
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 9: one hundred and nine different people at Columbia overnight. So

421
00:21:34,560 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 9: one hundred and nine people. You need what the NYPD

422
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 9: brought in for that to even stop that. It was

423
00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 9: just they'd take it over the building. They were draping

424
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 9: the flags of Palestine from the sides, a sign that

425
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 9: says Intifada. There was a protester on the roof, you know,

426
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,879
Speaker 9: kind of waving the flag of Palestine. Mayor this morning,

427
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 9: Mayor of New York City says, this is a disgrace

428
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,600
Speaker 9: that we're allowing our institutions to be you know, have

429
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,640
Speaker 9: these flags of other countries draped over them, like take down,

430
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,359
Speaker 9: they're taking down our flag? Like where where is the

431
00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 9: outcry over this? The mayor was feisty this morning. It

432
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 9: was it was quite something.

433
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it's terrible, and and so what what what

434
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: happens to the administration today? I mean, do these all

435
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 3: these administrators they show up for work like nothing happened.

436
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a clown show.

437
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,360
Speaker 9: It's uh, your guess is as good as mine. Honestly,

438
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 9: I think the president is probably on something nice because

439
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 9: everybody is being critical of the line she has kind

440
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:43,800
Speaker 9: of walked here. I would assume that the board is

441
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 9: facing immense pressure from alumni who actually have their head

442
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:54,080
Speaker 9: screwed down donors. You know, there's graduations coming up, a

443
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 9: lot of a lot of eyeballs that are going to

444
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,119
Speaker 9: continue to be on on on the president and the

445
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 9: board here and how they navigate this going forward. But

446
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 9: it's you know, the cats out, you know, the damage

447
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 9: is done, yeah, for Columbia, And I would assume that

448
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 9: there's going to be you know, a lot of the

449
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 9: faculty were linking arms kind of protecting these protesters in

450
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 9: the encampment from being accessed by the administration. So I

451
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 9: think there's going to be a long, hard look at

452
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 9: everybody's role in what they're involvement was in these past

453
00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 9: two weeks there.

454
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 3: Rich McHugh from News Nation, the new cable news channel,

455
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 3: Thanks very much, great reporting at university. We'll so much

456
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: to react to Deborah. I got to digest the last

457
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,440
Speaker 3: forty minutes.

458
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 8: You're listening to John Cobel on demand from KFI Am sixty.

459
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 3: We had extensive reporting from Blake Turley and CAMFI News

460
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 3: on UCLA, and then we just finished talking with with

461
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 3: Rich mceube from News Nation about Columbia, and it's pretty

462
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 3: similar situations we had. You know what, I guess there's

463
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,639
Speaker 3: something going on that none of us really knew about.

464
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 3: But the h the administrations at these universities have ruined

465
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 3: their brands, first of all, and they've completely abdicated Hey, John,

466
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,560
Speaker 3: any responsibility.

467
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 11: I'm just going to break in for a second though.

468
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 11: Just people are texting me there was an earthquake. I

469
00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 11: guess we were, you know, too busy apping away. We

470
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 11: didn't feel it, but a preliminary magnitude of four point three,

471
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,120
Speaker 11: six miles from Corona.

472
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 4: My husband just texted me he felt it.

473
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: I definitely felt it. What time was it? Oh?

474
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 4: Everybody? Apparently you and I are the only ones that

475
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,479
Speaker 4: haven't felt it.

476
00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 2: What does that mean.

477
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 3: Away?

478
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: Just now it happened? Yeah, yeah, it kind of felt

479
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 2: like a little rolling sensation.

480
00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 10: I thought it was honestly like the elevator, because sometimes

481
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 10: the elevator, the freight one that we're right next to,

482
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 10: sometimes that'll shake the floor a little bit, so I

483
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 10: thought it was that, but I guess it really was

484
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 10: an earthquake.

485
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 11: It was an earthquake four point three preliminary magnitude one

486
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 11: nine pm. And I'm so happy to say, I'm really

487
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 11: happy to say I didn't feel you didn't.

488
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 4: You distracted me, and that was a good thing.

489
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 3: I think every time you walk in, I get a

490
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 3: rolling sensation. So it seemed normal. All right, well, happy earthquake.

491
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 3: Everybody survived another one we did. Maybe it's maybe it's

492
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:24,240
Speaker 3: a foreshow.

493
00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 4: I was hoping you weren't going to say that. Let's hope.

494
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 2: I like to look on the dark side.

495
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: I know you do.

496
00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 3: So I'm going back to Columbia and and UCLA. I mean,

497
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 3: last night they let some Israeli guys and supposedly older

498
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: guys come in and just beat the poop out of

499
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 3: the Palestinian protesters. This happened, you know, between around midnight

500
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 3: and three in the morning, and nobody wanted the police

501
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 3: to intervene. So I'm thinking, all right, that so the

502
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 3: administrators know this is happening, They know the palacest Indian

503
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 3: protesters that they bent themselves into pretzels trying to protect

504
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 3: are now getting revenge. They're getting attacked by these Jewish men.

505
00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 3: I don't know if they're students. I don't know who

506
00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 3: these people are. Eric Adams, the New York mayor, says

507
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 3: definitely they an NYPD. They had a press conference yesterday,

508
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 3: so definitely there's outside agitators. That's what we talked about yesterday.

509
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,800
Speaker 3: We've gotten infiltrated, we really have. And it's impossible to

510
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 3: tell if these are Antifa like groups that planned to

511
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 3: turn all the universities upside down the same week, knowing

512
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 3: it was a sensitive time, it's exam time, graduation time,

513
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 3: and that it would achieve maximum impact and discomfort. So

514
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 3: there's some students. I wonder how many of them are

515
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 3: foreign students on foreign visas. I wonder how many of

516
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 3: them are here on a mission till filtrate and destabilize.

517
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 3: Because there's something not right about all this. This doesn't

518
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 3: seem all that organic, and the intensity of this, and

519
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 3: how they can scream and rant and rave all night

520
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 3: long and inside don't they all know they're going to

521
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 3: have no effect?

522
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 2: Obviously.

523
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 3: Benjamin not Yahoo said yesterday that whether they do a

524
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:31,640
Speaker 3: cease fire or not, you know whether hostages come out

525
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,679
Speaker 3: or not. They're going to invade Rafa and they're going

526
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,359
Speaker 3: to finish and annihilate the rest of Hamas. And he said,

527
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 3: nothing is going to stop that. And he didn't have

528
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 3: to say this, but I'll finish it, certainly, not these

529
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: penny anti lunatics who are screaming like Jimboree toddlers.

530
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 2: There's another thing that woman said.

531
00:27:56,160 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: It's like, well, we're dancing, we're singing songs where we're

532
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 3: using chalk, and her whole program sounded exactly like like

533
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 3: what my kids got when they were two and three

534
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 3: years old and they went to preschool or these little

535
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: toddler programs. I mean, these are these are men and

536
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:23,200
Speaker 3: women and a lot of women in their late teens

537
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 3: and early twenties who talked the way little children do,

538
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 3: except they're supporting the most vicious, deadly, murderous terrorist group

539
00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 3: running right now. And then if a reporter pushes them

540
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: on it, they say, oh, that didn't happen.

541
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: Now they know what happened, So I don't know.

542
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,360
Speaker 3: There's there's there's something going on, and and I mean

543
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,000
Speaker 3: the mayor in New York is saying that there was

544
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 3: the uh, the wife of one of the participants is

545
00:28:57,080 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: a well known terrorist. I got to get deeper into

546
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:01,520
Speaker 3: that story coming up in the two o'clock hour as well.

547
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,360
Speaker 3: So there's definitely evidence of these organized terroristic factions. And

548
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 3: I would call it some Palestinian version of Antifa, or

549
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,760
Speaker 3: maybe real Antifa is involved. Maybe everyone's gonna glomb on.

550
00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: Now.

551
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 3: I don't think this is just, and the administration is

552
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 3: I can't. They really don't think any of this is wrong.

553
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 3: It really doesn't bother them. The criticism bothers them, But

554
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 3: the actual the acts of people rioting and fighting and

555
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 3: you know, blocking Jewish kids from going to class in

556
00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:40,280
Speaker 3: the library, none of that bothers them. They're not willing

557
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: to get enraged and stay up all night screaming about it.

558
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 3: They could stop it. All this stuff could be stopped

559
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,080
Speaker 3: in a minute. They're choosing not to stop this. Think

560
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 3: about why that would be When we come back this

561
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,880
Speaker 3: is actually related. We're gonna have Art Arthur on from them.

562
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:57,840
Speaker 3: The Center for Immigration Studies. It turns out hundreds of

563
00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 3: thousands of illegal aliens have been flown to US cities

564
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 3: by the Biden administration. No it's not Greg Abbott, No,

565
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 3: it's not Ron Desantez. It's Joe Biden. They have the

566
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: records hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants flown to forty

567
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 3: five US cities, and now Joe Biden wants to fly

568
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 3: in Palestinians who have relatives here. Well, that's going to go. Well,

569
