1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: Canf I am six forty you're listening to the John

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: Cobelt Podcast on the iHeartRadio app live everywhere on the

3
00:00:08,640 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: iHeartRadio app, and we're on the radio one until four

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 1: and then after four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand

5
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: the podcast version also on the iHeart App. I have

6
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 1: I have a weird enjoyment of How can I describe this?

7
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 1: What's weird is my definition of entertainment. Nothing funnier to

8
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:38,360
Speaker 1: me than some stuffed shirt university official, a president's chancellor,

9
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: whatever the hell they call. These people's getting skewered before

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: a Congressional committee trying to defend the indefensible. And this

11
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: is about Gene Block, the UCLA chancellor, having to testify

12
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC today, and there's some rabid congress people

13
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: who wanted to get a piece of him because what

14
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 1: he allowed to happen at UCLA was just absurd, just preposterous.

15
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 1: And the committees had been a buzzsaw to college presidents

16
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:16,119
Speaker 1: this year because you had you had the Harvard professor,

17
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 1: the Harvard president being forced to resign. Same thing happened

18
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: at the University of penn Cornell professor had to resign

19
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: recently and she didn't even testify. Gene Block doesn't matter

20
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: if he resigns or is kicked out or not, because

21
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: he's done in two months.

22
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 2: Let's go.

23
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 1: Because the irony of this is is well. Block has

24
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,040
Speaker 1: been testifying today. What you had is a protest movement

25
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: starting again at UCLA and Chris Adler has been there

26
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: and she's going to describe what's been going.

27
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: On all day.

28
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 3: John.

29
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm actually standing behind these officers LAPD officers that

30
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 4: just rolled in. They are in two lines right now

31
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: there right behind them as they're headed to this camp.

32
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 4: This camp was set up early this morning. These protesters

33
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 4: have barricaded themselves behind palette pieces of wood, tables and chairs,

34
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 4: and it looks like laped's coming in right now. They're

35
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 4: probably going to break this up right now, John, That's

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 4: what it looks like. So we've got tons of students,

37
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 4: dozens of students onlookers, media, and I think we've got

38
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 4: about fifty police officers out here from LAPD and campus police,

39
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 4: UCLA police rather and they're rolling in. They've got helmets

40
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: on right now, they have zip tie handcuffs. UCLA Police

41
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: has zip ti handcuffs and it looks like this might

42
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 4: get here. The protesters are bluing them and getting really upset.

43
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,799
Speaker 4: If you can hear them in the background shouting free Palestine,

44
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 4: as these officers now slowly move into the camp area.

45
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 4: So it looks like this is about to go down here.

46
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: Now, John, Yeah, some of the TV stations are covering it,

47
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: and so they have a helicopter overhead view of what's

48
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: going on. I see a line of officers holding their

49
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: bicycles and creating a line of bikes to hold off

50
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 1: the protesters.

51
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 4: Right, And I mean you guys, you could see if

52
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 4: you're looking at this from the overhead, you can see

53
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 4: the dozens of people out here just watching, trying to

54
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 4: see how this is going to unfold. This is protesters, students, onlookers,

55
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: probably staff members, and just people who are here to

56
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: just see what's going to happen right now. But yeah,

57
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 4: these protesters are chanting, and I spoke with protesters earlier

58
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: today who said they are not going to go without

59
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: a fight. They will stay here as long as they can,

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 4: and they are doubling down on their demand for divestment.

61
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: Well, I see now it looks like the bicycle cops

62
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 1: were trying to hold off a crowd from coming onto

63
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: the campus.

64
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 4: Right, I'm right sharing it, yeah.

65
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, And now the overhead view is showing a

66
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: line of police officers in riot gear marching down one

67
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: of the walkways and uh headed towards uh one of

68
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: the one of the grass areas. They're kind of partially

69
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: hidding out of the trees now. So I don't know where

70
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the flashpoint is inside. I don't even know what entrance

71
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm looking at here. I guess maybe you know where

72
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: you're standing.

73
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, So I'm watching his officers that these officers in

74
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 4: tactical gear are facing a lot of this crowd. The

75
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 4: crowd is looking at them right now. They formed a

76
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 4: line here right up in front of this protest, so

77
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: we don't know when they're when they're going to move

78
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 4: in and try to break this up.

79
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: So there's two there's two crowds.

80
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 1: There's the crowd outside the entrance, and then there's the

81
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: crowd protesting on the campus itself.

82
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 2: Is that right?

83
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:42,600
Speaker 4: I'm sorry?

84
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: John?

85
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 4: Can you repeat that?

86
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: Is that there seems to be two crowds, the one

87
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: just outside the entrance at U c l A and

88
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: then one on the campus itself.

89
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: The original protesters.

90
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 4: Right right, and there's there's actly yeah, there are there

91
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 4: are two different crowds. Care and as the police were

92
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 4: coming in on the outside, I don't know if there

93
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: were students. There was people walking and they were booing them.

94
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 4: There was calling them KKK members, they were saying, calling

95
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 4: them pigs, telling them jolt along on campus. So the cops.

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 4: There's a lot of animosity towards the police right here

97
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 4: at this protest here John right.

98
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: And this stunt must have been designed to embarrass Gen Block,

99
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: who's busy in Washington, DC this morning apologizing for the

100
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 1: first round of protests. Right.

101
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 4: And these protesters that I spoke with earlier who were

102
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: marching said they were so upset with the way that

103
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 4: he handled it. They said that his complicency was just

104
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: is outrageous, the way that he stood by after what

105
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 4: they called zionists attacked their camp, put multiple people in

106
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 4: the emergency room. They said they were so upset with

107
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 4: it that they're furious from Jean Block. They still let down.

108
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: So UCLA didn't see this coming, that maybe there was

109
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: going to be some kind of protest stunt to coincide

110
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 1: with Block's testimony. They they did they blindsided by this

111
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: at UCLA again.

112
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: You know, when I got on seam this morning, there

113
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 4: was a lot of U. C. L A Police officers here.

114
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: There were a lot, they were scattered, but they got

115
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 4: the camp. They got the camp up. They got all

116
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 4: of this stuff into the camp before the officers got here.

117
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: So that was our question was how did they do

118
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 4: this without being stopped before it happened?

119
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 2: You know?

120
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: So, so the protesters snuck the tents in before the

121
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 1: police showed up.

122
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 4: Yes, they got, they got They built this encampment and

123
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 4: were able to erect it before the police were set up.

124
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 4: And so then and then we saw campus UCLA police

125
00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 4: scattered from Moor Hall, the different buildings here where it's

126
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 4: set up outside of But they they got there's a

127
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 4: lot of stuff here. They have flags hanging from the wall,

128
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 4: Palaestidian flags.

129
00:06:59,320 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 1: Uh.

130
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 4: And I'm not sure how many people are actually inside

131
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 4: of the camp.

132
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.

133
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: Now they is LAPD the primary law enforcement group that's

134
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,080
Speaker 1: responding at the moment.

135
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: What's that done at LAPD?

136
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: I assume they're the primary law enforcement group that's responding

137
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: this minute.

138
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 4: Well, they just rolled in about ten minutes ago. It

139
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 4: was car after car after car coming in in tactical gear.

140
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 4: But before that, there was probably about thirty or forty

141
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 4: UCLA police officers surrounding these buildings with dip high handcuffs.

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 4: They've been on scene for hours, just kind of standing by,

143
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: letting the protesters do what they were going to do.

144
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 4: But then now LAPD has rolled in, so it looks

145
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 4: like he's getting a little bit more serious now.

146
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, according to Channel five, the police are

147
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: telling him this is an unlawful assembly. You have to go,

148
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: or you're going to be arrested, right don in.

149
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 4: If they say it's in an unlawful assembly and they

150
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: don't go, these protests will be arrested. They will be arrested.

151
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,119
Speaker 1: Today, all right, Chris, Well, I stay in touch, uh

00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:20,640

157
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: while I was talking and about to introduce uh, Chris

158
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,680

00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: start just started marching in from the street, the l

160
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: A p D in riot gear, you know, with with

161
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,080
Speaker 1: the with their weapons ready to go, and and and

162
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: suddenly what was a standoff I guess between campus police

163
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 1: and these protesters turned into a major event, with la

164
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: BT declaring it an unlawful assembly. And this just happened

165
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,720
Speaker 1: in the about the last ten minutes. All right, so

166
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: we'll be on top of that. This is far from

167
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: over and uh eventually we'll get to uh, we're gonna

168
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: get to uh Gene Blocks testimony the UCLA Chancellor in Washington,

169
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,000
Speaker 1: d C. Because I am certain that this was timed

170
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: to coincide with Blocks testimony. We got some clips of

171
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: his statements to play for you. And also just the absurdities.

172
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 1: There's some news stories today what's been going on at

173
00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: UCLA that I just it's incredible. It's incredible, how dopey

174
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: the administration is. I don't know how these people tie

175
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 1: their shoes. How did they get their doctorates.

176
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM

177
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 3: six forty.

178
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: All right, now, let's you're just joining us.

179
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: You heard Chris adleron as she was broadcasting right from

180
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: the UCLA campus. Because it's started up all over again.

181
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: The Jew hating pro Hamas pro Palestine crowd is making

182
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 1: a big ruckus on UCLA, and they timed it to

183
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: coincide with UCLA's Chancellor, Gene Block, being dragged into Congress

184
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: to explain himself after allowing the protesters the protests were

185
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:08,959
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago to get completely out of hand

186
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: because he was inert. I think you got to say this,

187
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: butly the man was inert. He didn't react to obvious

188
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: danger signs. And now he's trying to explain himself. And

189
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 1: you know what what these university cowards liked to do.

190
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: In fact, a lot of officials do this. Politicians, corporate leaders,

191
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: these college presidents. There's one word they like to hide behind,

192
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's a coward move in hindsight. In hindsight,

193
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 1: we should have done X. How could you not have

194
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: the foresight? You're paid to have foresight. What did you

195
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:53,839
Speaker 1: think was going to happen? These Palestinians are supporting one

196
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: of the worst terrorist organizations on the planet. You saw

197
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: what happened October seventh. You know what these people at

198
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: these protest sites are supporting, promoting. You hear what they

199
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 1: say you read what they write. What do you mean

200
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: with hindsight? Where'd you think this was going to go?

201
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,479
Speaker 1: They have a lot of foreign students from at UCLA,

202
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 1: some of them from the Middle East, some of them

203
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: are diving the wall hamas supporters. And there was one

204
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: other quote that he made, and I've got this from

205
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: the La Times, when he was cornered by one of

206
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: the congress women, Kathy Manning, a Democrat. Block was getting

207
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: beat on by Republicans and Democrats, and she asked Block

208
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 1: whether anti Semitism is a challenge on the UCLA campus.

209
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 1: Block said, yes, we admit this is a challenge, and

210
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: then she says, I have emails dating back to twenty

211
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 1: fourteen from dedicated to alumni trying to alert you to

212
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: growing anti semitism.

213
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: She's saying, I.

214
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: Got emails sent to you ten years ago. But Block

215
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. You know what his response was, and

216
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,719
Speaker 1: this is right up there with hindsight. The university has

217
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:24,839
Speaker 1: tried to respond with training. Ninety percent of students take

218
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 1: an online training course that includes discussion of anti Semitism.

219
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,600
Speaker 1: Do you know those training courses have no effect on people?

220
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: None?

221
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 1: If you have a rabid religious like belief that Jews

222
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 1: need to be eradicated and Israel should be destroyed. And

223
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 1: you've heard that every day since you were born. You

224
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: have people here from Middle Eastern countries and cultures where

225
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:57,319
Speaker 1: they're taught that Jews are horrible and should be exterminated

226
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: and Israel should be destroyed. They've heard that every day.

227
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: And you think you're going to offer them an online

228
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: training course. Oh, we did training. These training courses don't work.

229
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: They don't work in corporate settings, they don't work in

230
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: university settings, they don't work in government settings.

231
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 2: There's something about progressive.

232
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 1: They think everybody can be retrained, reprogrammed with some online

233
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: kacamabe course.

234
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,439
Speaker 2: It's fascinating.

235
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:29,720
Speaker 1: I know of no online training course that has changed

236
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,880
Speaker 1: anybody's mind about anything. Pray, I've gotta no more training here.

237
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 1: You know, in hindsight, we're sort of had a stronger

238
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 1: training course. Let's actually start to play some of the

239
00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: clips of Block and uh yeah, let's do the hindsight

240
00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: to clip cut number three here, Gene Block, you say, Chancellor.

241
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 5: With the benefit of hindsight, you should have been prepared

242
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 5: to immediately remove the encampment if and when the safety

243
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 5: of our community was put at risk. We have since

244
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 5: taken decisive action. I created a new Office of Campus

245
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 5: Safety that reports directly to me. UCLA is conducting a

246
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 5: thorough examination of our security processes. The University of California

247
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,640
Speaker 5: has also engaged independent law enforcement experts to initiate a

248
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 5: review of the confrontation, including our planning and safety as

249
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 5: security protocols. Finally, we will hold accountable all those engaged

250
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,359
Speaker 5: in violence or violated our policies.

251
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 2: No student should be threatened.

252
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 5: Or excluded based on their beliefs or identity, but they were.

253
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 5: We will always have to strive hard to meet this obligation.

254
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 5: We must also maintain our commitment to academic freedom and

255
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 5: free speech. The balance is central to UCLA's educational mission.

256
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 5: It's not always easy to strike a perfect balance, yes

257
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 5: it is, but that must be our goal.

258
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: You know what, and this dope, there were actually pictures

259
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: of him with horns and red eyes. It's a classic

260
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: Jewish hatred symbol to turn the Jews into images of

261
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 1: the devil. He admitted he saw those, but he still

262
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 1: didn't shut He still didn't shut the protest down because

263
00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: it's we have to balance free speech right and if

264
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: they had drawings of black students being hung from trees.

265
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:19,520
Speaker 2: What do you think black would have done?

266
00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 1: They would have shut that down in thirty seconds, and

267
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: they should have. But here's a guy who's Jewish himself,

268
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 1: and he's pictured in these drawings as being the spawn

269
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:33,040
Speaker 1: of the devil, and he's done nothing but in hide

270
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,240
Speaker 1: and sight. We should have had better training, I suppose.

271
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 2: Wow. And by the way, they started up all over again.

272
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: They snuck tents in and created a new encampment this morning,

273
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: and nobody responded until now when the LAPD has come

274
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 1: in and he's trying to evict them. It happened all

275
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: over again. While he's talking there was no plan. Got

276
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: more eclipse of the gene block coming up here and

277
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: if anything happens at UCLA, Chris Adler will be on immediately.

278
00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI AM

279
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 3: six forty.

280
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 1: We're on from one until four after four o'clock John

281
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,600
Speaker 1: Cobelt Show on demand. That is the podcast version, and

282
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: you could hear what you missed and if you're just

283
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: joining us, missed a lot exciting first half hour. The

284
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: situation at UCLA just like blew up, not in a

285
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:33,240
Speaker 1: literal sense, but they.

286
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 2: Had snuck in some tents.

287
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: This morning, the UCLA Chancellor, Gene Block is in Washington,

288
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: d C. Trying to explain while the last round of

289
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: protests got so out of hand, and while the Jewish

290
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 1: students were being so persecuted by these pro Hamas pro terrorist,

291
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:55,880
Speaker 1: this entire crowd, and so he's babbling away and thumfering

292
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 1: in Washington. Meantime, they stuck more tens in on the

293
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 1: campus and the LAPD has had to get on the

294
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: campus now just within the last forty minutes or so,

295
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,159
Speaker 1: and according to Chris Adler's last report, they're starting to

296
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: tear down whatever the protesters brought in. There was not

297
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:16,040
Speaker 1: only a crowd of protesters on the campus on the inside,

298
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: but a large group has formed outside on one of

299
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: the streets outside the entrance to UCLA. Obviously there's many entrances.

300
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:30,760
Speaker 1: There is also television coverage of this, and there's quite

301
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: a crowd there. But the police are trying to restore

302
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: order and anything happens. Chris Adler is going to be

303
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: back on the air. I want to play more clips

304
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,960
Speaker 1: from Gene Block, who really, you know, this is not

305
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: a good way to go out. I never heard of

306
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 1: this guy until a few weeks ago, when it turned

307
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: out he was a chancellor allowing all these protesters to

308
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: run a muck and terrorize the Jewish students. We played

309
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: you the clip where he said, well, with the benefit

310
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 1: of hind site, we should have torn down the encampments

311
00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 1: much more quickly.

312
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:06,560
Speaker 2: Here is.

313
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: An exchange between Ilhan and Omar. She is the pro

314
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:20,199
Speaker 1: Hamas pro Palestinian representative from Minnesota, and she's on this

315
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 1: committee in Washington, DC, and she went after she and

316
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,440
Speaker 1: Jean Block had a go round here. So play cut

317
00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 1: number five.

318
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 6: You could have prevented this by protecting the diverse groups

319
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 6: of pro Palestinian students that were peacefully gathered on campus

320
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 6: to share meals stand in solidarity against a brutal genocide.

321
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 6: You could have prevented this by protecting these students First

322
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,199
Speaker 6: Amendment right to a simple So I would like to

323
00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 6: know if you are truly committed to keeping your students safe.

324
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 6: How did you fail these students at many critical points

325
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 6: where you could have intervened.

326
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 5: Thank you for the question, but I really I'm sorry,

327
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 5: but I reject the premise these students.

328
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 2: How do you reject the premise.

329
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:12,520
Speaker 6: Are these pictures lying?

330
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:14,679
Speaker 2: Are these pictures?

331
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,320
Speaker 6: Are any of these people in jail?

332
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: Can I finish my statement?

333
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 6: No?

334
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 2: Are any of these people in jail? Are any of

335
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 2: these people arrested?

336
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 5: LAPD is working on trying to identify the people who

337
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 5: are sellings that evening. We were committed to finding out

338
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 5: the people's it's.

339
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 2: Been over a month. Stop it for saying, I submit.

340
00:19:31,760 --> 00:19:35,919
Speaker 1: And again she's talking about the Jewish guys who attacked

341
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: the pro hamas crowd late at night, and she is

342
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: on the side of the pro Hamasque group saying, how

343
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: could you let these Jewish guys beat them up? If

344
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: you remember that incident, because that's what got a big

345
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: police presence that night. So gene Block is taking it

346
00:19:56,040 --> 00:20:00,360
Speaker 1: from both sides because he allowed the campus to becomempletely

347
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 1: out of control and there was no law enforcement in charge.

348
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,719
Speaker 1: Now they have since reassigned the head of UCLI campus police.

349
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's going to be overseeing. Maybe

350
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: he's going to be doing restroom work for the for

351
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 1: the remainder of his career. Let's continue with ilhan Omar

352
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: and Gene Block.

353
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 6: I submit for the record an article that starts the

354
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 6: CNN has.

355
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: Produced without objection.

356
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:33,200
Speaker 6: Why did you not immediately send the police that we're

357
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 6: standing by your campus, police law enforcement to intervene.

358
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 5: We tried, We notified as the violence, we notified all

359
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 5: of our nutral aid partners. We tried to get police

360
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,440
Speaker 5: there as quickly as possible. But going back to my

361
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 5: original points, so this encampment was against policy, This violated

362
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: chess player time police.

363
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 6: If I may, the footage from that night reveals that

364
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 6: some of the most dramatic attacks were carried out by

365
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:12,439
Speaker 6: individuals not affiliated with UCLA, not the university students faculty

366
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 6: that were arrested. Why have the violent agitators who you

367
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:23,880
Speaker 6: know have been identified not been held accountable for assaulting

368
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 6: over one hundred and fifty of your students.

369
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 2: You should be ashamed.

370
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: And he never did get the chance to answer. It

371
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 1: apparently went on for some time beyond that. She's right

372
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,199
Speaker 1: in a way, but Block had let the Jewish kids

373
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 1: be intimidated and harassed and pushed around for weeks. Finally,

374
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: some of the some older Jewish guys not affiliated with

375
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 1: the school as far as we know, they'd had enough,

376
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: and that's when they burst onto the UCLA campus and

377
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 1: started beating the crap out of some of the Palestinian protesters.

378
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:09,919
Speaker 1: But again Block never protected the Jewish students for weeks

379
00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,400
Speaker 1: and did not in that case protect the Palestinian students

380
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 1: from the retaliation because this virus that infected his brain

381
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 1: infected Karen Bass's brain. We're going to talk about Metro

382
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: coming up after two o'clock. They all bought into the

383
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty George Floyd hysteria where all police are bad.

384
00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: We defund the police, we don't use the police. We

385
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: hire people off the street, call them ambassadors and give

386
00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,719
Speaker 1: them colorful vests. And that's going to return order, and

387
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 1: that's going to keep order. A stupid, silly, childish belief.

388
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: And to think that a guy like Gene Block, with

389
00:22:56,560 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 1: all his degrees and all his experience, bought into that.

390
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: How could a grown man not know that you need

391
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:08,679
Speaker 1: an armed police force to keep the order anywhere in

392
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: a city, on a college campus, on a train or

393
00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: a bus, you have to have uniformed police with weapons

394
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 1: and permission to use the weapons if necessary. That's the

395
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 1: only way you keep order in a human society. There

396
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: is no successful society without a police department of some kind.

397
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,680
Speaker 1: A law enforcement group of some kind, because a lot

398
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: of people are either bad people or they lose control

399
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 1: of themselves. And that's something you learn when you're a

400
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 1: tiny child. And this weird, sick, cult like belief system that, oh,

401
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:57,040
Speaker 1: no police are all bad, no more police, fire the police,

402
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 1: defund the police.

403
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: That that's an absurd thing. This is lasting four years.

404
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: You keep thinking this idea is going to finally die

405
00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: and go away because it obviously doesn't work. And no,

406
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: here we go Jeane Block, another adherent, huge protest goes

407
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 1: on for weeks, no police. People getting stabbed every day

408
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 1: on a metro train.

409
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 2: No police. What's right? There's no other solution to this.

410
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: You tried your ambassadors, you tried those colorful vests. It

411
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: doesn't work. Of course it doesn't work. You actually have

412
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: to go through this to prove that it doesn't work.

413
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. It's stupid, it's stupid, stupid, stupid. What's

414
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 1: wrong with you? What to smack up side the head?

415
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: That's a chancellor, that's a mayor. They think like you

416
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 1: sprinkle magic dust and bad people or out of control

417
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 1: people are just gonna go away.

418
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: I don't get it.

419
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: Whatever that temper tantrum was in twenty twenty. That should

420
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: have that should have died off in a matter of days.

421
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: It became policy for four years. Holy moly. Oh and

422
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: by the way, just to get lost in this, there

423
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,520
Speaker 1: is no freedom of speech on a college campus where

424
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: you can protest all day and night and set up

425
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,400
Speaker 1: tent encampments and intimidate minority students whatever the disfavored minority

426
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 1: of the day is. There is no constitutional protection. The

427
00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: university is where you go to learn. You go to teach,

428
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: you go to read, you go to study, you go

429
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 1: to get tested. There's social events, there's educational events.

430
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 2: That's it.

431
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: It's none of this nonsense, and there's policies against it,

432
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,760
Speaker 1: and all these protests violated the policies, but Gene Block

433
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,880
Speaker 1: allowed it to happen, like Karen Bass allows the violence

434
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: on the trains and the buses.

435
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,959
Speaker 3: You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI AM

436
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 3: six forty.

437
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: But we are tracking what's going on at UCLA and

438
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: the police are breaking up a new protest that sprung

439
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 1: up while the UCLA chancellor being Block was testifying. We've

440
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,560
Speaker 1: got another clip to play what I noticed just watching

441
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: the coverage now on TV is that we're talking to

442
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: one young woman who's part of the pro Amas, pro

443
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: terrorist crowd, and she's wearing a black mask on her face,

444
00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: like surgical mask. And it's so weird that that became

445
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 1: a symbol of progressives to wear a black mask. I

446
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: was just reading a story about Portland the other day

447
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,439
Speaker 1: because in Portland they've kicked out their district attorney. He

448
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: was a Gascone type and in Portland, which is far left,

449
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: they got sick of it too much crime, too much homelessness.

450
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: But they were describing what Portland's like. And in most

451
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,480
Speaker 1: stories in Portland, you go in and the clerks are

452
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: all still wearing the surgical masks, the hospital mask. What

453
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,800
Speaker 1: it's over four years now and I've realized it's it's

454
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 1: become like the symbol of their religious cult. And uh, anyway,

455
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: here's Rich Allen, a Republican of Georgia, asking Gene Block,

456
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: the u c l A Chancellor, what are they doing

457
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: about people who show up with masks? Really it's to

458
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: conceal their identity of a lot of these people.

459
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 2: Listen to this exchange.

460
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 7: What are you doing to those students who are under investigation?

461
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 5: So during this period of time, students are still attending classes.

462
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 5: Nephis says, there is no encampment and there have been

463
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 5: no demonstrations that are problematic.

464
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 7: Uh, doctor Block section wait, stop stop, stop that you

465
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 7: want the truth?

466
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: Uh maybe he just wasn't aware. But they had two

467
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:55,400
Speaker 1: tents on the Kirch the Kirkhoff patio Thursday morning, and

468
00:27:56,520 --> 00:28:01,440
Speaker 1: access was blocked to Ackerman Union, Kirkhoff and More Hall

469
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 1: because of the encampment. This is this morning morning. Classes

470
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: held in those buildings were shifted online. A public safety

471
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:13,479
Speaker 1: alert was issued to the campus. The Vice chancellor for

Speaker 2: Yeah. Well they're monitoring.

476
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 1: Didn't do any good because LAPD had to be called

477
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 1: in within the last hour, So I guess things were

478
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,720
Speaker 1: brewing and Block had no idea. But that's not really

479
00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 1: a surprise, all right, continue, doctor Block.

480
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,880
Speaker 7: Section one eighty found the California Penal co outlaws outlaws

481
00:28:39,920 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 7: wearing a mask to evade identification and committing a public offense.

482
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 7: Why have you not banned the wearing a mask on

483
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 7: your campus? In courting from California law.

484
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 5: Was still apparently are allowed to wear masks for COVID protection,

485
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 5: and students continue.

486
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: To wear them.

487
00:28:57,560 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 7: And there was a medical mask medical right, these are

488
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 7: not medical masks. H.

489
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 2: So you're you're so you're allowing this behavior.

490
00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 5: We've allowed, We've allowed masks on campus aleutical policy. This

491
00:29:11,520 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 5: should be unmasked. But during the time of COVID, we

492
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 5: allowed medical masking, and uh, we've continued to allow.

493
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 1: That, except they were in coffeas. That's what they were

494
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 1: doing to wrap their face. The kafia is not a

495
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,400
Speaker 1: medical mask. It's got nothing to do with COVID. Nobody's

496
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: getting COVID anymore. They're out in the sunlight and the

497
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:38,080
Speaker 1: it's practically summer. We're allowing medical masks because of COVID.

498
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: Oh my god, Where where do they come from? That

499
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,960
Speaker 1: they've got They've got some kind of intelligence. I don't

500
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 1: know these days. I mean, he's an older guy. I

501
00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: mean he got degrees back when degrees were real degrees.

502
00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: They have to study something real in order to get it.

503
00:29:55,720 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: Now there's all these fake courses and fake degrees and

504
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 1: fake knowledge going around.

505
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,640
Speaker 2: All right, we'll see if anything more happens.

506
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 1: Chris Adler's there coming up after Devers two o'clock news,

507
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: Michael Monks from KFI News, because you know, we've got,

508
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 1: in a way a similar situation on the Metro trains

509
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:23,240
Speaker 1: and buses. You have violence that should have been stopped

510
00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: a long time ago. Karen Bass, like Gene Block, did

511
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: not believe, does not really believe in using police. She's

512
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: got a good shtick going. I'm may be the only

513
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 1: one who saw through it from day one. I don't

514
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: know when the rest of the world wakes up, maybe never.

515
00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 1: But what she does is she smiles and says the

516
00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: right things, but never does the right thing. She wouldn't

517
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: send the police in which she should have done day

518
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,560
Speaker 1: one when she took over. Metro Buses and trains have

519
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: been very dangerous for a long time. She is the

520
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:04,760
Speaker 1: Metro board chair. And there have been so many violent attacks,

521
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 1: so many stabbings, and and if last was it last

522
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: week she said there's going to be a surge, surge

523
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,080
Speaker 1: of police and and and then the violent attacks kept happening.

524
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 1: So they had a formal meeting today.

525
00:31:18,840 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: To see.

526
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: To see if they're gonna send in more police officers

527
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 1: from various agencies. Michael Monks was monitoring this meeting and
