And 18 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 1: this was done by the UCLA Police Department. And we're 19 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: going to talk now to Wade Stern, president of the 20 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: Federated University Police Officers Association, because while these forty four 21 00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: people have been were arrested, is the La County DA 22 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: going to ever charge them, maybe with felonies for example, 23 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: let's get Wade stern On here to explore this whole issue. 24 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,040 Speaker 2: Wade, how are you great? 25 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,959 Speaker 3: Thanks for having me. 26 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: So these forty four people, it's this specific incident where 27 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 1: they were all arrested and they were found ready to 28 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: burst into these administrative buildings and occupy them, and they 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 1: had all sorts of tools. 30 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,640 Speaker 2: Explain the background of this case. 31 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 3: So what you saw in those pictures that you saw 32 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: them at all, with the locks and the epoxy and 33 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: the super glue and the bolt cutters and the pipes 34 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 3: is highly sophisticated. This is nothing new that we see 35 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 3: in the UC system. This is something that I've been 36 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 3: seeing over the last twenty two years. In fact, we 37 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 3: have officers that are trained to be able to breach 38 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 3: those types of buildings to be able to go get 39 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 3: those people. And so this is nothing new that we've 40 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 3: seen them. The sophistication aside, this is the same stuff 41 00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: that you're seeing nationally at riots and where they're taking 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 3: over other buildings and so this and along with the 43 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 3: manuals that they had and the propaganda that they had, 44 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: you know, this sophistication is not to be taken lightly. 45 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: This is serious and these are outside anarchist groups that 46 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 1: recruit the students and train them. 47 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: And then they execute their plan. 48 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, we've seen this before at other campuses. I've spent 49 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 3: time at all ten campuses, and yes, these are the 50 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 3: same people that are coming onto the other ten campuses. 51 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 3: Though they get arrest thirty five students out of the 52 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,559 Speaker 3: forty four at the end of the day, these students 53 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,200 Speaker 3: are you know, aren't funding this themselves. 54 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: So right now, there's been no form of felony charges 55 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: against anybody yet from George Gascon's office. 56 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 3: Nope, we have heard nothing about them filing any charges. 57 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 3: You know. Interesting enough, last week, when you know Mayor 58 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 3: Bass's house was broken into, the DA announced formal charges 59 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: on that, and you know, here it is, we're waiting. 60 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 3: It's May ninth, and we have no information about, you know, 61 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 3: charges being filed by the District Attorney's office. And it 62 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 3: just gives the longer this goes, it's giving these people 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 3: more power to do what they're going to do, and 64 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,320 Speaker 3: that's the fear for us. 65 00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: And these are all adults. The students are all adults, 66 00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: or at least nearly all. And then you've got at 67 00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: least nine outsiders that were that were caught as well, 68 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 1: and I don't understand not treating them like the vandals 69 00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: that they are. I mean, and this because this was organized, 70 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: because this was premeditated, because they had so much I mean, 71 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: you're talking about metal pipes and the bolt cutters and 72 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: the padlocks and the chains, all that, all that stuff 73 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: you listed. You've got plenty of evidence here and that 74 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: they were going to cause quite an issue if they 75 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 1: had gotten inside. 76 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 77 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 3: You know what's interesting enough is, like I said before, 78 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 3: we've been dealing with this for many years. This is 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 3: the first time that I've actually seen a press release 80 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,480 Speaker 3: out in the last twenty two years that actually shows 81 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,600 Speaker 3: pictures of this type of stuff and kind of such 82 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: a long press release. 83 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,359 Speaker 2: You know, why are they doing this now? 84 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 3: Because this is the stuff they don't want to show sometimes, right, 85 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,239 Speaker 3: this is the stuff they don't want you to see. 86 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 3: But it is happening on college campuses across the United 87 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 3: States and across the you know, all of our ucs, 88 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: and I'm glad that, you know, they were finally able 89 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: to bring this to light and show people what's really 90 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 3: happening at the campuses and why we have police and 91 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: you know, highly trained police to be able to deal 92 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 3: with this. But it also brings up the other issue 93 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 3: of you know, the Community Safety Plan, and there the 94 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 3: UC's attempt that you know, a tiered and holistic response 95 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: to these protests in which you know, they brought security 96 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,599 Speaker 3: guards in who aren't trained in de escalation, who aren't 97 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 3: treed in you know, civil disobedience, and we saw a 98 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 3: lot of those videos, those poor souls being in the 99 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: middle of this and you know also you know, being 100 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 3: accosted and attacked and it's not fair to them. Also 101 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 3: in the in the year's past, that would be police 102 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: that are there. But again with the community Safety Plan, 103 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: you know, in this new tiered and holistic response of 104 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 3: how we're going to handle this, that was a layer well. 105 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: I mean we discussed the other day on the air 106 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: Steve Gregor from CAFI News. You know, he looked through 107 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: the plan from twenty fourteen that the UC system had 108 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: taken a year and a half to put together on 109 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: how these situations ought to be handled. And I don't 110 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: think anybody opened up that report at UCLA this year. 111 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,800 Speaker 1: I mean, they didn't follow any of the recommendations that 112 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: nobody's been trained in a number of years that's been 113 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: defunded as well, and so that's why the response was 114 00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: so terrible. 115 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I mean I have to agree with you. 116 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 3: I have to agree with you. I'm a member of 117 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 3: the SRT team as well, and we haven't trained since 118 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: you know, twenty twenty. We used to train regular league 119 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 3: yearly with each other. And you know what's happened is 120 00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 3: is when we originally started the SRT Team, it was 121 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: funded by the Office of the President. And when I 122 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 3: mean Office of the President, I mean for the university 123 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,880 Speaker 3: that's President Drake's office. And within the first year or so, 124 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 3: the budget, you know, went to each campus, so it 125 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 3: was up to each campus then to fund the SRT 126 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: Team and keep it going. So you know, not all 127 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 3: campuses are funded the same and that has also led 128 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 3: to the demind is of the SRT Team, I think, 129 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 3: as well as you know, the defunding of police, and 130 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 3: we can't you know, discount that and defunding of the 131 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: police has a lot to do with this. But you're 132 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: absolutely right. Until we brought up our union, brought up 133 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 3: the Robinson Edley report, you know, in the forty nine recommendations, 134 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 3: I think they looked at this and said, you know, 135 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 3: what is this, and they certainly haven't been following it, 136 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 3: and we hope moving forward that you know, they start 137 00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 3: following this guideline and get trained because they're the ones 138 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 3: calling the shops, right, They're the ones making decision. 139 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: That's my final question. 140 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: Is any of this going to change now that you 141 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: had this internationally broadcast riot at UCLA and everybody saw 142 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: how poorly the university was prepared to deal with the situation. 143 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: I mean, are they seriously going to go back to 144 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 1: the old way of basically, you know, enforcing their policies 145 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,960 Speaker 1: and forcing the law and empowering the police to do 146 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: what police do. 147 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 2: Are they going to do this? Are they going to 148 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: wait till it all blows over? 149 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 3: I think the real question is for how long are 150 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 3: they going to do it? Yes, they're going to do it. 151 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 3: They're starting to do it now, you're seeing the press releases. 152 00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 3: I imagine we're going to get more equipment and more training. 153 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,119 Speaker 3: You know, it's like everything else, you wait until something 154 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 3: bad happens and then you try to fix it, right, 155 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 3: and this is what's going to happen. But that's how 156 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: the Robinson Elli report came out, right. I was there 157 00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,120 Speaker 3: during those incidents at Davis and Berkeley during those times, 158 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 3: and then the report came out and we said, finally 159 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 3: we're going to get that's how the SRT team was, 160 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: you know, founded, and how we got this equipment. But 161 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 3: it was how long is the funding going to last? 162 00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: And how long? 163 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:35,360 Speaker 5: You right? 164 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 3: And how long? So no doubt that the money is 165 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 3: going to come, no doubt we're going to get money, 166 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: no doubt we're going to get trained. But how long 167 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,959 Speaker 3: are they going to sustain it for? Is the real question? 168 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:45,320 Speaker 2: All right? 169 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,359 Speaker 1: Wade Stern, president of the Federated University Police Officers Association, 170 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: thank you for coming on with us on this. 171 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 3: No, thank you appreciate it. 172 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 1: And you know, there's a there's a pattern here. We've 173 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 1: got seemingly unrelated stories over the last few days, but 174 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: it's all the same pattern. It was to defund the 175 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:06,240 Speaker 1: police insanity of twenty twenty, and it led to what 176 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,719 Speaker 1: Wade was just describing at UCLA and the other uc campuses, 177 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 1: where they had a plan to deal with protests that 178 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: get out of control and violent and they simply didn't 179 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 1: put money into the training anymore. And nobody's been trained 180 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: for the last four years or more. And what did 181 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,840 Speaker 1: we just talk about on the Los Angeles public school campuses. Right, 182 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: they've doubled the number of violent incidents in the past 183 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 1: few years. Why because they cut the police budget by 184 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 1: a third. And they're always with these ambassadors. The ambassadors 185 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: or the security guards or safe passage people. 186 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 2: They've always got euphemisms. 187 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: They're unarmed. If you're unarmed, you're useless. You have to 188 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: be armed, and you have to be empowered to enforce 189 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: the law. If you're not empowered to enforce the law 190 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: and you're not armed, you are useless. You might as 191 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: well send out all whole battalion of grandmothers. It's not 192 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: gonna do anything because crazy people and violent people don't 193 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 1: respect anything other than a weapon. If they know you 194 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: have a weapon, they'll stop what they're doing. Maybe, but 195 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: that's the only way you have a chance to enforce 196 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 1: the law. And this is all just It's like the 197 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 1: metro system too. They took the police off the metro system. 198 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:26,120 Speaker 1: Ambassadors on the Metro system, right, safe passage people on 199 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: the LA school system. I don't know what the hell 200 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: they were calling the people in UCLA, but they weren't 201 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 1: armed police that could shut down a violent incident. Quickly 202 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 1: because they have the legal authority to do it and 203 00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: they have a weapon. 204 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM 205 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 5: six forty. 206 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,560 Speaker 1: Deborra and I were just talking because I get up 207 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: like about five thirty in the morning, and I start 208 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: looking to see what's going on in the world, news 209 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 1: stories that we want to discuss on the air, and 210 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: my phone will ding and it's always you. 211 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,439 Speaker 4: Well, I find stories that I want to share them. 212 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: And somehow you beat me to it, and you find 213 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 1: these stories ahead of me, you know, at five thirty 214 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: in the morning, and it's usually a plane crash stories 215 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,720 Speaker 1: or planes in distress. Yes, now this was. We've got 216 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 1: two examples here, and I know you're going to be shot. 217 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: They're both Boeing planes. No, yes, uh, first one passenger. 218 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,559 Speaker 1: There's video going around passengers fleeing a burning trans Air 219 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: seven thirty seven plane after it's skidded off the runway 220 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: in Senegal. Senegal would be in Africa, right, yes, okay, 221 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,320 Speaker 1: Boeing aircraft. Eleven people hurt, four severe injuries. 222 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 4: I haven't been to Africa, by the way, so you 223 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:52,840 Speaker 4: can't blame me, all right, So none of these have nothing. 224 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 2: To do with me. Okay, no, no Deborah connection. 225 00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 1: This happened in the in the city of Dakar in Senegal, 226 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: and this was the second Boeing problem in two days. 227 00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: The day before in Paris at Charles de Gaul Airport, 228 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: a Boeing seven sixty three, This was a FedEx plane 229 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: skidded on its nose. The landing gear malfunctioned, so there 230 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: was no tire to take the roll and the plane 231 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: went right down to the ground skidding away. I love 232 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:32,200 Speaker 1: the way it's downplayed though in this new story. Boeing 233 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: aircraft have been reported to have experienced several serious incidents. 234 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: What's your definition of several? To me, that's like maybe 235 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: three four. Yeah, we're well into double digits this year here. 236 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: And how come air Bus you hardly hear anything, and 237 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: there are other airline manufacturers internationally you never hear anything. 238 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: It's Boeing. Well we know the answer to this. Oh, 239 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,600 Speaker 1: by the way, what happened with the Boeing icecraft? 240 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, that's right. Well I think that I think 241 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 4: maybe tomorrow, right, I think they said later later this week, 242 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 4: so tomorrow's Friday. 243 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,400 Speaker 2: Haven't heard anything. If that's going to happen. 244 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was supposed to be a few days ago 245 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: and the astronauts already strapped into the plane. 246 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 4: Oh and you know what, there's another one by the way, 247 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 4: another another incident. Boeing planes front tire burst upon landing 248 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: at an airport in southern Turkey. 249 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 2: Today, they've had a lot of tire problems, tires and 250 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 2: landing gear. I know what's up with that. Yeah, so I. 251 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 4: Know you were talking about going into space. 252 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,840 Speaker 1: Well, yeah, because they said they were going to reschedule 253 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: it quickly and last it was such a serious problem 254 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: that but because the problem they had that delayed the launch. 255 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: Going back a little bit was the flammable tape. They 256 00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: had a miles worth a miles worth of flammable tape 257 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 1: wrapped around all the circuitry inside the spacecraft. So, by 258 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: I guess, by hand, they had to go inside the panels, 259 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: unwrap a miles worth of tape and then rewrap it 260 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: with some kind of tape that is not flammable. 261 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 2: You think that would be basic. 262 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 4: Yes, And I'm and I'm googling, and I don't see anything. 263 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 4: I don't have an update on when that's going to. 264 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: So it's still in the shop. The astronauts call and say, hey, 265 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,600 Speaker 1: you know it might be another week or two. Our 266 00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: mechanic is off this week. 267 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 2: He's sick, and you know we'll get to it. Don't worry. 268 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 4: Nobody wants to go on it anymore. 269 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 2: So it's totally scrubbed. 270 00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: We got when we come back, the uh Berkeley let 271 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: me get her title, right, we like the president of 272 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: the oh, the Berkeley superintendent.

You're not going to believe 276 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: what the students are experiencing in Berkeley. 277 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 5: You're listening to John Cobel's on demand from KFI A 278 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 5: six forty. 279 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 1: On from one until four and after four o'clock John 280 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 1: cobelt Show on demand.

We 282 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: covered a lot of stuff today. I'll give you a 283 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 1: rundown a little bit, but we've got to talk about 284 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: the Berkeley situation because there is some really vicious, hateful 285 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: stuff going on against Jewish kids in the city of Berkeley, 286 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: in the Berkeley Public School district. This is one of 287 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: those things that I had to read several times. I 288 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 1: couldn't really believe it, but they and you know how 289 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: uptight and woke everybody is in Berkeley, especially in the 290 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 1: school system there. But apparently it's open season on Jewish kids. 291 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:07,200 Speaker 1: I mean, there's just nothing's being held back. And what's 292 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: going on is that there's an official civil rights complaint 293 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: and an investigation into the Berkeley Unified School District and 294 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: it's gotten to the point where the superintendent at Berkeley 295 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: and Nikiya Ford Marthel was dragged in to testify before 296 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: Congress this week. Now here's some of the stuff that's 297 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 1: going on. The La Times opens with a story about 298 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 1: a mother named Elana Pearlman. She's got a fourteen year 299 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: old son, Ezra. He's black and Jewish, and she asked 300 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 1: him the other day, do you feel safe? And he said, yeah, 301 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: I'll be fine. I'm black. In other words, his black 302 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: skin protects him against his Jewish heritage. She thought going 303 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: to Berkeley was a good idea that'd be very tolerant 304 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,239 Speaker 1: of people like who are Jewish and black. Well, it 305 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: turns out he had to hide his Jewish identity because 306 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:14,439 Speaker 1: of the hostility. His art teacher projected resistance art on 307 00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: a large screen. That's a fist punching through a star 308 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: of David on a map of Israel. Then his classroom 309 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: wall was filled with signs promoting a walkout against genocide, 310 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 1: and they would post the daily death toll of Palestinians 311 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: as was classmates joined a walkout. This is eleven days 312 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 1: after the Hamas attack, and some of the students started 313 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: shouting kill the Jews. Administrators at Berkeley Unified failed to 314 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: stop teachers and students engaging in severe and persistent harassment 315 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: and discrimination against Jewish children. That's according to a federal 316 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: civil rights complaint that's been filed with the US Department 317 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 1: of Education by the Lewis Brandy Center for Human Rights 318 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: and the Anti Defamation League. They say that Berkeley Unified 319 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 1: District leaders knowingly allowed classrooms and schoolyards to become a 320 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: viciously hostile environment. An elementary school teacher, they said, directed 321 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: second graders to write anti hate messages such as stop 322 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: bombing babies on sticky notes, and then posted the notes 323 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:34,240 Speaker 1: outside the classroom of the school's only Jewish teacher. Now 324 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 1: there's photos of this in case you don't believe it, 325 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 1: I've got this color photo and you could tell it's 326 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: little kid writing. And one teacher had instructed their students 327 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: to put these sticky notes on the Jewish teacher's door. 328 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,080 Speaker 1: Stop killing babies, No one is superior, said one, stop 329 00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: killing my people, along with a a slur against the 330 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: Jews that I'm not going to say here, stop genocide, 331 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:13,159 Speaker 1: Stop bombing babies. Yeah, stop bombing babies was very common, 332 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: and so one teacher tells her kids to post these 333 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: at another teacher's tour, and the kids do it. Here's 334 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 1: some of the chants on the campus. Kill the Jews, 335 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:35,320 Speaker 1: Kill Israel, f the Jews KKK. So this superintendent, and 336 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 1: Niki Afford Morthell testifies before Congress, and what she said 337 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: is that our babies sometimes say hurtful things, our babies. 338 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:55,840 Speaker 1: We are mindful that all kids make mistakes, and we 339 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: know our staff are not immune to missteps either, and 340 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 1: we don't ignore them when they occur. So these are 341 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: all babies making mistakes. When you have teachers telling them 342 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 1: to write all this hateful stuff and they start chanting this. 343 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 1: None of this has ever been permitted against any group 344 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: before that I can remember.

Well, here you go in 350 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: Berkeley you have the school promoting it. It's so egregious 351 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: that they try to get the superintendent to explain yourself 352 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: before Congress and she goes, oh, well, that's just. 353 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 2: My baby saying the wrong things. 354 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: Some of these babies are eighteen years old.

You've got to kill all 368 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: the Hamas soldiers. There's no plan be there. Either kill 369 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: all the Hama soldiers and destroy all their military equipment, 370 00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: or you don't, and they're going to come after you 371 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:03,040 Speaker 1: and try to again because they're all for it. All 372 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,959 Speaker 1: the slogans that these kids were chanting at the Berkeley 373 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: schools are the same slogans the Hamas terrorists are chanting. 374 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 1: It's exactly the same all these demonstrations.
