Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four, then after
four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand the podcast version
on the iHeart app. I hear you were cursing during
the news.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah, it was a mistake.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
I said the S word instead of this, I said
instead of city, I.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Said something else that rhymes with city. Yeah, So Eric
had to dump that. So I think then that messed
up my newscast a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
You're that's the first time I've heard of a newsperson
being dumped.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I don't think that's ever happened.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It just happened.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
You just.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You can't control yourself.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's my bad.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I sight.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
I almost let it go and I was like, wait,
and I should probably dump that as.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Soon as it came out of my mouth. I don't
even know why and how it happens. I mean, it's
a brain, it's a wiring dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yes, well, okay, I've been working with you for such
a long time. It's expedited the situation.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
The cable channels are washed with the footage of all
the wackou protests going on around the country. This is
not winding down by any means, and it's the same routine.
It really is Toddler's Jimbree class. It's like, bring your crayons. Okay,
we're going to draw a sign. Now, let's all stand
around and march in a circle, and let's chant our
(01:27):
rhymes and let's stamp our feet and get really really mad.
And then everybody has tents so you can take nack
time in the tents when you're tired. Except you know,
these people are eighteen to twenty two years old and older,
and it's the daily fit and it's the same thing
over and over again about genocide and divesting.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, But what's not being focused on very much. And
this is the real tragedy here at these college campus
protests is the Jewish students at some universities are in hiding.
They have to do their classes remotely, and they can't
they can't go stay in their dorm rooms, they can't
walk about campus about the campus freely because they could
(02:09):
be surrounded and terrorized and they're afraid that they're going
to get hurt or killed. Congress is now making noises
I don't know what they could do about it exactly.
But that's why we have Stephen Portnoy on ABC News
National corresponded because there is something called the Anti Semitism
Awareness Act that's floating around Steven, How.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Are you hey, John, good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
What is this Awareness Act about? And what effect could
it have?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Yeah, So this is an attempt on the Congress's part
to do the tiny little thing that the federal government
can do, which is maybe see about pulling money back,
a lot of money, but maybe pulling money back from
some of these universities. If the Education Department inside the
Biden administration determines that these protesters are engaging in anti
(03:03):
Semitic discrimination of their fellow students and the university is
not doing enough to curtail it. This bill would define
anti semitism in a particular way, using a definition that
is controversial. This definition comes from the what's called the
International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, and it defines anti semitism in
(03:25):
the classic ways, but also it basically says that if
you call Israel a racist state, that also is anti
semitic because it undermines the Jewish state's right to exist
the Palestinian pro Palestinian activists, particularly those on the college campuses,
say that they should have the First Amendment right to
(03:45):
say whatever they want about Israeli policies, and that it's
not necessarily anti Semitic. They say that many of their
leaders of this movement are Jewish, and how could they
be anti Semitic in all that? So, look that the
House is expected to take this vote tomorrow. It is
a Republican sponsored bill with a number of Democratic co sponsors,
particularly Democrats from the New York, New Jersey area who
(04:08):
don't very much like to see these protests on television
at the campus of Columbia University or any other college.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So would likely pass the House at least since it
has a number of Democratic cost sponsors.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
And then the question, because what happens in the Senate.
I don't know that necessarily it would pass or be
put on the floor in the Senate. The Democratic leader
in the House of King Jeffreys, seems to be shrugging
it off with thumbing his nose at the bill, saying,
essentially is a messaging bill on the part of House Republicans.
I wouldn't expect the Chuck Schumer is going to put
it on the floor of the Senate anytime soon. I
(04:43):
should also note that it urges the or instruct the
Education Department to take this particular definition into consideration. The
Trump administration did the same thing in twenty nineteen when
Donald Trump, then president, signed an executive order which is
still on the books either way. And you have a
number of what are known as Title six investigations going
(05:05):
on at the Education Department, including one that was opened
last week into Columbia University. And again, it's all trying
to enforce Title six of the Civil Rights Act of
nineteen sixty four, which says that you can't discriminate on
a college campus or anywhere else based on national origin.
And because Jews are of the same ethnic group, this
(05:29):
is where it qualifies. So a lot of it is politics.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
All of it is politics.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
How it will matter, I'm not sure it will, but
it's one thing that Speaker Mike Johnson can say he's
doing after visiting the campus of Columbia University last week.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
All right, very good, Stephen portnoy Ab Seniors, thank you
for explaining all that.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And you know it's.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You're in a situation where The people who could shut
down these protests, and they should are the presidents and
chancellors of the universities. There is no First Amendment right
to to terrorize and block students. There's no First Amendment
right to I mean some of these some of these
(06:18):
universities are private, such as USC, and USC can set
the rules and you have no First Amendment right on
private property and you can send in your private security
or you can call for the police to remove the protesters.
The protesters have no right to block students from accessing
class or going to their dorms.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
There is no right, obviously to terrorize, and that's what
a lot of these pro hamas. These are really terrorist protesters,
and they don't have the right. That is, that's not
the First Amendment. The First Amendment is about you get
to speak your peace in public and the government can't
shut you down. But you cannot deny other people, for example,
(07:02):
the right to assemble in a classroom to take their
final exam or go to an ordinary class, which is
what's happening here. Other people's right to assemble is being disturbed.
Other people's right to walk freely is being disturbed. And
so every campus president or chancellor, whatever they're called, is
(07:27):
supposed to make it safe for everybody to go to
class and live their normal life.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Now, if somebody wants to stand off.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
To the side and shout death to the Jews all day,
we'll go ahead. Hey, but I don't think you can
do that on a campus where there's a lot of
Jewish students feeling intimidated, because that should be permitted.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Hey, John, Yeah, after the break.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
You remember that audio we played on Friday of the
student going up against the teacher's assistant on UCLA's campus.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, that same student.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I just saw a video of him getting blocked by
the protesters. He was trying to go to class, and
so there's a video of it. We can play the
audio of it after the break.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
All right, good, all right, that's exactly what we're talking
about here. The Jewish students have rights. I mean, it's
a cliche to do this, but it's true. I heard
somebody this morning saying, Hey, when there was young black
children in Arkansas back in the nineteen fifties, when they
couldn't get to the elementary school, what happened? I mean,
you had law enforcement. I think the National Guard made
(08:30):
sure that the little kids were escorted into class, and
it's the same thing here. You have a specific ethnic
group being targeted and they're not allowed to conduct their education,
and they have the complete right to do that, and
that wouldn't be tolerated if it was other races or
(08:52):
other ethnic groups, but because it's Jewish students, it's allowed
by these college presidents who nearly insane and clearly pro terrorist.
Nobody wants to say that, right, but they're pro terrorist.
If you're allowing a policy that blocks Jewish students from
going to class and they're running and hiding and they
(09:14):
can't get to their dorm rooms, they that's a form
of terrorism.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
We'll talk more when we come back.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Just a quick audio clip here to demonstrate what we
were talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
In the last segment.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You will hear a Jewish student at UCLA trying to
attend class and there are six pro Hamas, pro terrorism
students wearing cafias and they're wearing the COVID masks are
back and he tries to get through and they block him,
(09:57):
and he tries to work around this way and that way,
and you know, another guy comes forward to further block him,
and he's describing it.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Along the way.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
There's a security guard standing and he does nothing to
help the Jewish student into the class and clearing out
the Prohamaque group.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So listen, we're going this way. You guys have closed
the entrance. We are UCLA students. I have my ID
right here.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I'm being blocked off, not by the security of it,
by you two, you three.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Look they're making their burd Well I'm doing this way.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Excuse me. This is what they do, everybody. Look at this.
Look at this.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
I'm a UCLA student. I deserve to go here, repay tuition.
This is our school, and they're not letting me walk in.
My class is over there. I want to use that
entrance way.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Cantaga, Will you let me go in.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
This could be over in a second.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Just let me and my friends go in to class.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Then you can move. Will you move? Okay, we're going.
We're going. I'm going in. I don't I have my
hands up. I'm not hurting them. I'm not hurting them.
That's what they do. That's what they do. Everybody.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You guys are promoting aggression. You guys are promoting hate
where you say, as soon.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
As we deserve to be there.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Let's go imagine four big burley white guys or six
big burly white guys standing and stopping a black woman
from entering USC or UCLA. Imagine the coverage. You'd see
it twenty four hours a day. So why is it
(11:37):
because it's Jewish students. It's barely an afterthought. That was
a Twitter post. There is absolutely no outrage or very
little outrage about the Jewish students being blocked from going
to class and not having to live in fear. That's
(12:00):
a big part of the story here, just the way
it's being covered by the media and the way ordinary
people are reacting. It would be much different if those
were black students being blocked by white thugs. I mean,
and these are these are the people who brought you
(12:24):
cancel culture for the last ten years, who brought you
insane political correctness. It's the same crowd. The hypocrisy is staggering,
it's overwhelming, The double standard is overwhelming. So it's okay
to keep Jewish kids from getting schooled, and the university
(12:46):
should have their guards, their officials. The president of USC
ought to be standing there instead of canceling graduation. Ought
to be standing at these entrances and letting the Jewish
kids in and those Palestinian pro Palestinian terrorists and a
lot of women. They should be arrested immediately. They should
(13:09):
be kicked out of school. How are they not expelled
from school for blocking Jewish kids from attending class because
they're Jewish? Shouldn't that be an automatic expulsion right on
the spot? Man, There's a lot of sick stuff going on.
What's with these university administrators? This is obvious. This is
(13:30):
not worthy of a debate and discussion. It's your blocking people.
You shouldn't be able to block any students from entering
their classes, no matter what your cocamami reason is. Nobody
should be blocked like that depict on them because specifically
of their ethnicity, their religion is astounding in twenty twenty four.
(13:54):
But these girls are getting away with it, and there's
no university officials there, and there's a helpless, hopeless, hapless
guard standing and letting them do it. Whether you get
the memo of a Jewish kid tries to break in,
don't help them mount, don't take on the pro Palestindian girls.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
They're in power, they're in charge.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Whatever they say goes Yeah, you support hamas and terrorism
and burning babies and ovens.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What do you want? What do you need?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I can't even believe we're discussing this out loud, and
I can't believe how few voices supporting the Jewish students
there are, and virtually none from the university. I mean,
you can't even get all the Democrats in Congress to
agree that the money ought to be pulled if the
(14:47):
university engages in anti Semitic activity. The bill that we
were just talking about with Stephen Portnoy from ABC, we
come back. There's a piece in the National Review called
the Torment of the Class of twenty twenty four. This
is this story was dedicated to the people who had
(15:10):
the misfortune to come into school in twenty twenty. Well,
they tried to graduate high school in twenty twenty in
the spring, and that's the spring of twenty twenty four.
They couldn't graduate high school because of COVID, They can't
graduate college at USC because of these pro terrorism protests
that the administration is favoring, and just the whole in
(15:31):
between of the last four years. How miserable it has
been tell you about when we come back.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
John Cobelt showed, you're listening to John Cobels on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We'ron from one till four and then after four o'clock
John Cobelt Show on demand. Boy, oh boy, if you
were born, let's see, it would probably be the majority
of these people born in two thousand and two. Right,
And how did you know that in twenty twenty when
you want to graduate high school, everything was going to
(16:05):
be shut down for COVID and you wouldn't never really graduate.
And then you go to college and college would be
shut down, especially if you go to USC as everybody
continue to weigh overreact to the COVID virus. And then
by time you get to twenty twenty four and you're
going to graduate college after getting a couple of years
(16:25):
of relative normalcy, twenty twenty four, now everything gets shut
down again because the USC administration decides to support the
pro Hamas protesters over the Jewish kids, and instead of
kicking them off the campus and expelling them, they.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Decide to cancel graduation.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
So you had no high school graduation, now you have
no college graduation. And half the time you were living
like a prisoner. What a terrible era to have supposedly
to have your high school and college experience. But it
was especially bad if you picked the USC. There is
no reason they should be canceling their graduation ceremony. Absolutely not.
(17:11):
They could make that safe the way every single professional
sports team takes in twenty thirty forty sixty thousand people
for all their games, plenty of every you know, from
the Hollywood Bowl to the Crypto to the Sofi Stadium,
(17:37):
all the arenas in between, every day of the year,
all over the country. They taken tens of thousands of people,
so they could take in sixty five thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's just terrible.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And what day, Noah Roffman wrote in The National Review today,
was the university gave up because the alternative policing its campus,
restoring order and demonstrating where the real authority lays was
too hard.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
It was simply too much work for them.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And so now all these little weasel bureaucrats, all these
little gerbils, they have shut down graduation for every student,
every family, and these families are paying up to ninety
five thousand dollars a year to go to us. See,
do you believe that ninety five thousand dollars a year
(18:36):
and that's what you get In the end, a bunch
of terrorst sympathizers start chanting nursery rhymes and banging drums.
It's like, well, let's all go hide. They have freedom
of speech. You don't have the freedom to get a
public graduation. They get all the freedom screaming all their ugly, vile, hateful,
(19:00):
racist garbage. They get center staged. They can stay out
there on campus and bang their stupid drum and scream
their stupid rhymes.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
All day long.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
They could use to theay they're blocking Jewish kids from
even entering the campus.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
It's all okay that I swear.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I would love to put all the all the USC
and UCLA administrators in a prison. They really all belong
in a prison, a social prison, for all the damage
they're doing. And you know, going back to twenty twenty,
the freshman who entered USC in twenty twenty found out
in July that their school was not going to be
(19:43):
welcoming students back to campus. We are now recommending that
all undergraduates take their courses online and reconsider living on
or close to campus this semester, and that turned out
to be a huge, unnecessary overreaction, and as time went
on it became even more restrictive. They probably figured that,
(20:06):
you know, the restrictions would ease after a few months,
but it didn't. At sophomore year, students were invited back
onto campus, but they had to wear masks indoors and
outdoors at all times. They had to maintain six feet
of distance from all other individuals. Onerous COVID testing and
(20:33):
self isolation protocols were strictly enforced. All eating and drinking
must take place outdoors.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That was USC's rules.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Students are encouraged to take brief breaks from the classroom
if they need to hydrate, and students were encouraged to
heckle any other students were not complain with these guidelines,
so it turned everybody into a little Nazi spy, into
(21:07):
one of these Wolke soldiers. You're not wearing a mask,
you're standing within six feet of me.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Please.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Of course, that had nothing to do with slowing down
the spread of COVID, as we found that from science
later on, masking was still encouraged and widely observed well
into twenty twenty three. By now, the whole generation had
been spooked and the kids were afraid to take off
their masks. In twenty twenty two, the Department of Education
(21:39):
opened an investigation into USA on behalf of a student
who resigned from student government because of unrelenting harassment for
her perceived ethnic Jewish identity.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
UH.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
In twenty twenty three, they suspended a professor whom students
accused of bias when he stepped on a printed list
of Palestinians killed in Israeli air strikes. It was during
a worldwide shut it down for Palestine movement, and he
was shown on video supporting Israeli efforts to neutralize Hamas
(22:17):
terrorists on the battle battlefield, and that caused him to
get suspended.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I it's and we all know about all the scandals
at US.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
See I'm not going to you know, you know, the
Mark Ridley Thomas scandal, the USC guynecologists scandal. I it's
student life, as Nathan Noah Rothman writes, has become so uncomfortable,
(22:50):
not fun at USC because all these woke left wing,
fanatical blowhards have taken over everything. They shut down ten fraternities,
ten fraternities, severed ties with the school because of all
the onerous rules on fraternity life ninety five thousand dollars
(23:12):
no graduation. What I mean, you couldn't pay me nine
and a half million dollars to spend time there. You
imagine listening And from what I understand on the college
campuses from people I know who've been on college campuses,
it is relentless preaching, relentless scolding, relentless left wing and doctrination.
(23:32):
Everything is about race and gender and gender and race.
Every assignment, even math assignments, are somehow twisted into you
having to write essays about race and gender and and climate.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
It is the closest thing to like communist Chinese and
doctrination camps, and it's and it's at many of the schools,
public and private. It's just if I was eighteen, I
wouldn't want to go anywhere near this. I'd rather start
up my own chain of vegetable stamps. Who the hell
wants to sit trapped in class with all these zealots scolding, complaining,
(24:18):
And I've heard these people are unhappy. They're unhappy all
day and night because all they do is see microaggressions everywhere.
Offence is everywhere. There's no humor anymore, there's no dating,
there's nothing. Dark days, very dark days, and then you
end up with a massive amount of debt that you'll.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Never pay back. All Right, we come back. This was funny.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
There's a vegan restaurant that can't make it as a
vegan restaurant in Los Angeles here.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I don't know if.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
They can't make it or they don't want to just
be vegan.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
I wonder why no, what do you think not getting
enough business, not enough vegans in the world.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
We'll get into the details next.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Is it possible for a news channel to defame Hunter
Biden considering all we know about him and his life? Well,
Mark Garragos is representing Hunter Biden in a lawsuit against
the Fox News channel, and we'll see what this is about.
Mark is coming on with us after Debra's news here
(25:32):
on KFI. Well, I mean, this is sad this vegan
restaurant is not closing, but maybe it's something worse than that.
It's it's called sage plant based Bistro, and I've been there,
has three locations. Worse than closing it's adding dishes, dishes
(25:53):
with animal products. Yes, they'd been losing money since twenty twenty.
They closed one location in a Gora Hills and converted
their Culver City location to take out only.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Okay, do they really think that by adding some meat
products that that's going to change things dramatically?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Well, now I can go.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
You wouldn't go, it's not your Oh if if.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No, I went to a vegan restaurant once.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, I know I heard about that and I had
nothing to eat, right.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Okay, so you would go to a vegan restaurant as
long as there's a meat.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Dish for you.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, all I need is one dish.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I think they're selling out.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
I kind of see where Debra's coming from on this, actually,
because what if all the vegans decide to now boycott
this restaurant because they're.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Selling because why I have a vegan it's a vegan resut,
then they're gonna have nothing.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Well yeah, no, then I'm gonna feel bad for the
restaurant because then they're going to go out of business.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Would then there'd just be a meat lover's paradise.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
There's there's either enough stomers or not. Your little cult
is very loud, very loud and insistent, and it's like
these these protesters at the universities.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Most students just want to go to class.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
But don't you think I just feel that if you
have a vegan restaurant, right, I mean, it's been vegan
for many years, I just keep it that way, maybe
add some different vegan dishes or something.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Well, the owner is Molly Engelhart, and she's the chih
excuse me, she's the chef and owner, and she says,
I no longer feel that a vegan lifestyle for all
is a viable solution for the planet. And it's soil,
which is one of our most precious resources. And they
have some complicated plan that I don't even understand, and
(27:47):
they're going to take their their their meat from regenerative farmers.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, well, you know, not all vegans do it to
save the planet or think that it's better for the planet.
I mean, I can speak for myself that don't care
about the planet. I don't care about the planet. I do,
but that's not why I'm vegan. I just don't want
to eat any animal products because I don't want to
eat any animal products, not because of anything else.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, they're trying to rebrand themselves, and they're saying that
regenerative farming is an approach to agriculture that prioritizes soil health,
biodiversity and natural processes.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Everything just sounds like gobbledygook.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And now that they've gotten a lot of backlash here,
Pete is very upset with them.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
The woman who owns it says, I believed one thing
and maybe I was wrong, and I believe something else.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
So then what she's saying is the only reason that
she had a vegan restaurant was because she thought that
by having a vegan restaurant was more sustainable, better for
the climate, nothing to do with animals being torture.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, I think the only reason she opened it was
to make money. Well, yes, I think of another reason
to open a business. Why would you go to? Restaurants
are hard? Yes, so I can open one and it
makes no money, the customers don't show.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
But but a vegan restaurant, it's it's it's very specialized.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
How many times do you did you go?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I've been a few times, and I know that there
was one in Calabasas and it's a gora and it's
no there.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Now, maybe maybe twice.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I mean, look what, I'm a weird vegan. Okay, here's
the thing I don't. I don't necessarily go restaurants.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Vegan restaurants were.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
One of the most prominent vegans in Los Angeles, and
you went twice.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Because I just I'm trying to explain to you that
I'm a weird vegan. I don't necessarily need to go
to vegan restaurants. I will go to a restaurant that
offers vegetables and pasta or hummus or quene waw or
or a spinach solid I don't need. I don't eat
fake meat, and I.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Don't do fake If you not gonna go, they're gonna
start selling cheeseburgers.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Regenerative cheeseburgers, but cheeseburgers.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
I what you know what I want to see you go? Now,
you go there and you go eat.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Your meat, well, I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I got to see if it's real meat. I don't
know what regenerative farming is. I didn't understand it.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It is real met is it real? Meant?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
We come back. Mark Garragos. He's assuing Fox News on
behalf of Hunter Biden the claim is that Hunter Biden
got defamed by Fox News. Really, we will talk to
him about it. That's next. Deborah Marcus Live in the
KFI twenty four hour Newsroom. Hey, you've been listening to
The John Cobalt Show podcast. You can always hear the
(30:41):
show live on KFI Am six forty from one to
four pm every Monday through Friday, and of course, anytime
on demand on the iHeartRadio app
Can't.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
I am six forty.
Speaker 1 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on every day from one until four, then after
four o'clock John Cobelt's show on demand the podcast version
on the iHeart app. I hear you were cursing during
the news.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Yeah, it was a mistake.
Speaker 4 (00:16):
I said the S word instead of this, I said
instead of city, I.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Said something else that rhymes with city. Yeah, So Eric
had to dump that. So I think then that messed
up my newscast a little bit.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
You're that's the first time I've heard of a newsperson
being dumped.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
I don't think that's ever happened.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
It just happened.
Speaker 5 (00:37):
You just.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
You can't control yourself.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's my bad.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
I sight.
Speaker 6 (00:44):
I almost let it go and I was like, wait,
and I should probably dump that as.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
Soon as it came out of my mouth. I don't
even know why and how it happens. I mean, it's
a brain, it's a wiring dysfunction.
Speaker 3 (00:55):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
Yes, well, okay, I've been working with you for such
a long time. It's expedited the situation.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
The cable channels are washed with the footage of all
the wackou protests going on around the country. This is
not winding down by any means, and it's the same routine.
It really is Toddler's Jimbree class. It's like, bring your crayons. Okay,
we're going to draw a sign. Now, let's all stand
around and march in a circle, and let's chant our
(01:27):
rhymes and let's stamp our feet and get really really mad.
And then everybody has tents so you can take nack
time in the tents when you're tired. Except you know,
these people are eighteen to twenty two years old and older,
and it's the daily fit and it's the same thing
over and over again about genocide and divesting.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah, But what's not being focused on very much. And
this is the real tragedy here at these college campus
protests is the Jewish students at some universities are in hiding.
They have to do their classes remotely, and they can't
they can't go stay in their dorm rooms, they can't
walk about campus about the campus freely because they could
(02:09):
be surrounded and terrorized and they're afraid that they're going
to get hurt or killed. Congress is now making noises
I don't know what they could do about it exactly.
But that's why we have Stephen Portnoy on ABC News
National corresponded because there is something called the Anti Semitism
Awareness Act that's floating around Steven, How.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Are you hey, John, good to be with you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
What is this Awareness Act about? And what effect could
it have?
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Yeah, So this is an attempt on the Congress's part
to do the tiny little thing that the federal government
can do, which is maybe see about pulling money back,
a lot of money, but maybe pulling money back from
some of these universities. If the Education Department inside the
Biden administration determines that these protesters are engaging in anti
(03:03):
Semitic discrimination of their fellow students and the university is
not doing enough to curtail it. This bill would define
anti semitism in a particular way, using a definition that
is controversial. This definition comes from the what's called the
International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, and it defines anti semitism in
(03:25):
the classic ways, but also it basically says that if
you call Israel a racist state, that also is anti
semitic because it undermines the Jewish state's right to exist
the Palestinian pro Palestinian activists, particularly those on the college campuses,
say that they should have the First Amendment right to
(03:45):
say whatever they want about Israeli policies, and that it's
not necessarily anti Semitic. They say that many of their
leaders of this movement are Jewish, and how could they
be anti Semitic in all that? So, look that the
House is expected to take this vote tomorrow. It is
a Republican sponsored bill with a number of Democratic co sponsors,
particularly Democrats from the New York, New Jersey area who
(04:08):
don't very much like to see these protests on television
at the campus of Columbia University or any other college.
Speaker 1 (04:15):
So would likely pass the House at least since it
has a number of Democratic cost sponsors.
Speaker 2 (04:22):
Well, that's right.
Speaker 7 (04:22):
And then the question, because what happens in the Senate.
I don't know that necessarily it would pass or be
put on the floor in the Senate. The Democratic leader
in the House of King Jeffreys, seems to be shrugging
it off with thumbing his nose at the bill, saying,
essentially is a messaging bill on the part of House Republicans.
I wouldn't expect the Chuck Schumer is going to put
it on the floor of the Senate anytime soon. I
(04:43):
should also note that it urges the or instruct the
Education Department to take this particular definition into consideration. The
Trump administration did the same thing in twenty nineteen when
Donald Trump, then president, signed an executive order which is
still on the books either way. And you have a
number of what are known as Title six investigations going
(05:05):
on at the Education Department, including one that was opened
last week into Columbia University. And again, it's all trying
to enforce Title six of the Civil Rights Act of
nineteen sixty four, which says that you can't discriminate on
a college campus or anywhere else based on national origin.
And because Jews are of the same ethnic group, this
(05:29):
is where it qualifies. So a lot of it is politics.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
All of it is politics.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
How it will matter, I'm not sure it will, but
it's one thing that Speaker Mike Johnson can say he's
doing after visiting the campus of Columbia University last week.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
All right, very good, Stephen portnoy Ab Seniors, thank you
for explaining all that.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
And you know it's.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You're in a situation where The people who could shut
down these protests, and they should are the presidents and
chancellors of the universities. There is no First Amendment right
to to terrorize and block students. There's no First Amendment
right to I mean some of these some of these
(06:18):
universities are private, such as USC, and USC can set
the rules and you have no First Amendment right on
private property and you can send in your private security
or you can call for the police to remove the protesters.
The protesters have no right to block students from accessing
class or going to their dorms.
Speaker 5 (06:38):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
There is no right, obviously to terrorize, and that's what
a lot of these pro hamas. These are really terrorist protesters,
and they don't have the right. That is, that's not
the First Amendment. The First Amendment is about you get
to speak your peace in public and the government can't
shut you down. But you cannot deny other people, for example,
(07:02):
the right to assemble in a classroom to take their
final exam or go to an ordinary class, which is
what's happening here. Other people's right to assemble is being disturbed.
Other people's right to walk freely is being disturbed. And
so every campus president or chancellor, whatever they're called, is
(07:27):
supposed to make it safe for everybody to go to
class and live their normal life.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Now, if somebody wants to stand off.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
To the side and shout death to the Jews all day,
we'll go ahead. Hey, but I don't think you can
do that on a campus where there's a lot of
Jewish students feeling intimidated, because that should be permitted.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Hey, John, Yeah, after the break.
Speaker 6 (07:53):
You remember that audio we played on Friday of the
student going up against the teacher's assistant on UCLA's campus.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Yeah, that same student.
Speaker 6 (08:01):
I just saw a video of him getting blocked by
the protesters. He was trying to go to class, and
so there's a video of it. We can play the
audio of it after the break.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
All right, good, all right, that's exactly what we're talking
about here. The Jewish students have rights. I mean, it's
a cliche to do this, but it's true. I heard
somebody this morning saying, Hey, when there was young black
children in Arkansas back in the nineteen fifties, when they
couldn't get to the elementary school, what happened? I mean,
you had law enforcement. I think the National Guard made
(08:30):
sure that the little kids were escorted into class, and
it's the same thing here. You have a specific ethnic
group being targeted and they're not allowed to conduct their education,
and they have the complete right to do that, and
that wouldn't be tolerated if it was other races or
(08:52):
other ethnic groups, but because it's Jewish students, it's allowed
by these college presidents who nearly insane and clearly pro terrorist.
Nobody wants to say that, right, but they're pro terrorist.
If you're allowing a policy that blocks Jewish students from
going to class and they're running and hiding and they
(09:14):
can't get to their dorm rooms, they that's a form
of terrorism.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
We'll talk more when we come back.
Speaker 8 (09:21):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Just a quick audio clip here to demonstrate what we
were talking about.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
In the last segment.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You will hear a Jewish student at UCLA trying to
attend class and there are six pro Hamas, pro terrorism
students wearing cafias and they're wearing the COVID masks are
back and he tries to get through and they block him,
(09:57):
and he tries to work around this way and that way,
and you know, another guy comes forward to further block him,
and he's describing it.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Along the way.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
There's a security guard standing and he does nothing to
help the Jewish student into the class and clearing out
the Prohamaque group.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
So listen, we're going this way. You guys have closed
the entrance. We are UCLA students. I have my ID
right here.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
I'm being blocked off, not by the security of it,
by you two, you three.
Speaker 6 (10:29):
Oh.
Speaker 5 (10:29):
Look they're making their burd Well I'm doing this way.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Excuse me. This is what they do, everybody. Look at this.
Look at this.
Speaker 5 (10:34):
I'm a UCLA student. I deserve to go here, repay tuition.
This is our school, and they're not letting me walk in.
My class is over there. I want to use that
entrance way.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
Cantaga, Will you let me go in.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
This could be over in a second.
Speaker 5 (10:47):
Just let me and my friends go in to class.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Then you can move. Will you move? Okay, we're going.
We're going. I'm going in. I don't I have my
hands up. I'm not hurting them. I'm not hurting them.
That's what they do. That's what they do. Everybody.
Speaker 5 (11:09):
You guys are promoting aggression. You guys are promoting hate
where you say, as soon.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
As we deserve to be there.
Speaker 1 (11:16):
Let's go imagine four big burley white guys or six
big burly white guys standing and stopping a black woman
from entering USC or UCLA. Imagine the coverage. You'd see
it twenty four hours a day. So why is it
(11:37):
because it's Jewish students. It's barely an afterthought. That was
a Twitter post. There is absolutely no outrage or very
little outrage about the Jewish students being blocked from going
to class and not having to live in fear. That's
(12:00):
a big part of the story here, just the way
it's being covered by the media and the way ordinary
people are reacting. It would be much different if those
were black students being blocked by white thugs. I mean,
and these are these are the people who brought you
(12:24):
cancel culture for the last ten years, who brought you
insane political correctness. It's the same crowd. The hypocrisy is staggering,
it's overwhelming, The double standard is overwhelming. So it's okay
to keep Jewish kids from getting schooled, and the university
(12:46):
should have their guards, their officials. The president of USC
ought to be standing there instead of canceling graduation. Ought
to be standing at these entrances and letting the Jewish
kids in and those Palestinian pro Palestinian terrorists and a
lot of women. They should be arrested immediately. They should
(13:09):
be kicked out of school. How are they not expelled
from school for blocking Jewish kids from attending class because
they're Jewish? Shouldn't that be an automatic expulsion right on
the spot? Man, There's a lot of sick stuff going on.
What's with these university administrators? This is obvious. This is
(13:30):
not worthy of a debate and discussion. It's your blocking people.
You shouldn't be able to block any students from entering
their classes, no matter what your cocamami reason is. Nobody
should be blocked like that depict on them because specifically
of their ethnicity, their religion is astounding in twenty twenty four.
(13:54):
But these girls are getting away with it, and there's
no university officials there, and there's a helpless, hopeless, hapless
guard standing and letting them do it. Whether you get
the memo of a Jewish kid tries to break in,
don't help them mount, don't take on the pro Palestindian girls.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
They're in power, they're in charge.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Whatever they say goes Yeah, you support hamas and terrorism
and burning babies and ovens.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
What do you want? What do you need?
Speaker 1 (14:24):
I can't even believe we're discussing this out loud, and
I can't believe how few voices supporting the Jewish students
there are, and virtually none from the university. I mean,
you can't even get all the Democrats in Congress to
agree that the money ought to be pulled if the
(14:47):
university engages in anti Semitic activity. The bill that we
were just talking about with Stephen Portnoy from ABC, we
come back. There's a piece in the National Review called
the Torment of the Class of twenty twenty four. This
is this story was dedicated to the people who had
(15:10):
the misfortune to come into school in twenty twenty. Well,
they tried to graduate high school in twenty twenty in
the spring, and that's the spring of twenty twenty four.
They couldn't graduate high school because of COVID, They can't
graduate college at USC because of these pro terrorism protests
that the administration is favoring, and just the whole in
(15:31):
between of the last four years. How miserable it has
been tell you about when we come back.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
John Cobelt showed, you're listening to John Cobels on demand
from KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
We'ron from one till four and then after four o'clock
John Cobelt Show on demand. Boy, oh boy, if you
were born, let's see, it would probably be the majority
of these people born in two thousand and two. Right,
And how did you know that in twenty twenty when
you want to graduate high school, everything was going to
(16:05):
be shut down for COVID and you wouldn't never really graduate.
And then you go to college and college would be
shut down, especially if you go to USC as everybody
continue to weigh overreact to the COVID virus. And then
by time you get to twenty twenty four and you're
going to graduate college after getting a couple of years
(16:25):
of relative normalcy, twenty twenty four, now everything gets shut
down again because the USC administration decides to support the
pro Hamas protesters over the Jewish kids, and instead of
kicking them off the campus and expelling them, they.
Speaker 2 (16:44):
Decide to cancel graduation.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
So you had no high school graduation, now you have
no college graduation. And half the time you were living
like a prisoner. What a terrible era to have supposedly
to have your high school and college experience. But it
was especially bad if you picked the USC. There is
no reason they should be canceling their graduation ceremony. Absolutely not.
(17:11):
They could make that safe the way every single professional
sports team takes in twenty thirty forty sixty thousand people
for all their games, plenty of every you know, from
the Hollywood Bowl to the Crypto to the Sofi Stadium,
(17:37):
all the arenas in between, every day of the year,
all over the country. They taken tens of thousands of people,
so they could take in sixty five thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
It's just terrible.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
And what day, Noah Roffman wrote in The National Review today,
was the university gave up because the alternative policing its campus,
restoring order and demonstrating where the real authority lays was
too hard.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
It was simply too much work for them.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
And so now all these little weasel bureaucrats, all these
little gerbils, they have shut down graduation for every student,
every family, and these families are paying up to ninety
five thousand dollars a year to go to us. See,
do you believe that ninety five thousand dollars a year
(18:36):
and that's what you get In the end, a bunch
of terrorst sympathizers start chanting nursery rhymes and banging drums.
It's like, well, let's all go hide. They have freedom
of speech. You don't have the freedom to get a
public graduation. They get all the freedom screaming all their ugly, vile, hateful,
(19:00):
racist garbage. They get center staged. They can stay out
there on campus and bang their stupid drum and scream
their stupid rhymes.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
All day long.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
They could use to theay they're blocking Jewish kids from
even entering the campus.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
It's all okay that I swear.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
I would love to put all the all the USC
and UCLA administrators in a prison. They really all belong
in a prison, a social prison, for all the damage
they're doing. And you know, going back to twenty twenty,
the freshman who entered USC in twenty twenty found out
in July that their school was not going to be
(19:43):
welcoming students back to campus. We are now recommending that
all undergraduates take their courses online and reconsider living on
or close to campus this semester, and that turned out
to be a huge, unnecessary overreaction, and as time went
on it became even more restrictive. They probably figured that,
(20:06):
you know, the restrictions would ease after a few months,
but it didn't. At sophomore year, students were invited back
onto campus, but they had to wear masks indoors and
outdoors at all times. They had to maintain six feet
of distance from all other individuals. Onerous COVID testing and
(20:33):
self isolation protocols were strictly enforced. All eating and drinking
must take place outdoors.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
That was USC's rules.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
Students are encouraged to take brief breaks from the classroom
if they need to hydrate, and students were encouraged to
heckle any other students were not complain with these guidelines,
so it turned everybody into a little Nazi spy, into
(21:07):
one of these Wolke soldiers. You're not wearing a mask,
you're standing within six feet of me.
Speaker 7 (21:14):
Please.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Of course, that had nothing to do with slowing down
the spread of COVID, as we found that from science
later on, masking was still encouraged and widely observed well
into twenty twenty three. By now, the whole generation had
been spooked and the kids were afraid to take off
their masks. In twenty twenty two, the Department of Education
(21:39):
opened an investigation into USA on behalf of a student
who resigned from student government because of unrelenting harassment for
her perceived ethnic Jewish identity.
Speaker 7 (21:54):
UH.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
In twenty twenty three, they suspended a professor whom students
accused of bias when he stepped on a printed list
of Palestinians killed in Israeli air strikes. It was during
a worldwide shut it down for Palestine movement, and he
was shown on video supporting Israeli efforts to neutralize Hamas
(22:17):
terrorists on the battle battlefield, and that caused him to
get suspended.
Speaker 2 (22:26):
I it's and we all know about all the scandals
at US.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
See I'm not going to you know, you know, the
Mark Ridley Thomas scandal, the USC guynecologists scandal. I it's
student life, as Nathan Noah Rothman writes, has become so uncomfortable,
(22:50):
not fun at USC because all these woke left wing,
fanatical blowhards have taken over everything. They shut down ten fraternities,
ten fraternities, severed ties with the school because of all
the onerous rules on fraternity life ninety five thousand dollars
(23:12):
no graduation. What I mean, you couldn't pay me nine
and a half million dollars to spend time there. You
imagine listening And from what I understand on the college
campuses from people I know who've been on college campuses,
it is relentless preaching, relentless scolding, relentless left wing and doctrination.
(23:32):
Everything is about race and gender and gender and race.
Every assignment, even math assignments, are somehow twisted into you
having to write essays about race and gender and and climate.
Speaker 2 (23:46):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
It is the closest thing to like communist Chinese and
doctrination camps, and it's and it's at many of the schools,
public and private. It's just if I was eighteen, I
wouldn't want to go anywhere near this. I'd rather start
up my own chain of vegetable stamps. Who the hell
wants to sit trapped in class with all these zealots scolding, complaining,
(24:18):
And I've heard these people are unhappy. They're unhappy all
day and night because all they do is see microaggressions everywhere.
Offence is everywhere. There's no humor anymore, there's no dating,
there's nothing. Dark days, very dark days, and then you
end up with a massive amount of debt that you'll.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Never pay back. All Right, we come back. This was funny.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
There's a vegan restaurant that can't make it as a
vegan restaurant in Los Angeles here.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
I don't know if.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
They can't make it or they don't want to just
be vegan.
Speaker 6 (24:56):
I wonder why no, what do you think not getting
enough business, not enough vegans in the world.
Speaker 2 (25:04):
We'll get into the details next.
Speaker 8 (25:06):
You're listening to John Cobels on demand from KFI Am sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:12):
Is it possible for a news channel to defame Hunter
Biden considering all we know about him and his life? Well,
Mark Garragos is representing Hunter Biden in a lawsuit against
the Fox News channel, and we'll see what this is about.
Mark is coming on with us after Debra's news here
(25:32):
on KFI. Well, I mean, this is sad this vegan
restaurant is not closing, but maybe it's something worse than that.
It's it's called sage plant based Bistro, and I've been there,
has three locations. Worse than closing it's adding dishes, dishes
(25:53):
with animal products. Yes, they'd been losing money since twenty twenty.
They closed one location in a Gora Hills and converted
their Culver City location to take out only.
Speaker 4 (26:12):
Okay, do they really think that by adding some meat
products that that's going to change things dramatically?
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Well, now I can go.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
You wouldn't go, it's not your Oh if if.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
No, I went to a vegan restaurant once.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Yeah, I know I heard about that and I had
nothing to eat, right.
Speaker 4 (26:30):
Okay, so you would go to a vegan restaurant as
long as there's a meat.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Dish for you.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
Yeah, all I need is one dish.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
I think they're selling out.
Speaker 6 (26:37):
I kind of see where Debra's coming from on this, actually,
because what if all the vegans decide to now boycott
this restaurant because they're.
Speaker 4 (26:47):
Selling because why I have a vegan it's a vegan resut,
then they're gonna have nothing.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
Well yeah, no, then I'm gonna feel bad for the
restaurant because then they're going to go out of business.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Would then there'd just be a meat lover's paradise.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
There's there's either enough stomers or not. Your little cult
is very loud, very loud and insistent, and it's like
these these protesters at the universities.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Most students just want to go to class.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
But don't you think I just feel that if you
have a vegan restaurant, right, I mean, it's been vegan
for many years, I just keep it that way, maybe
add some different vegan dishes or something.
Speaker 1 (27:27):
Well, the owner is Molly Engelhart, and she's the chih
excuse me, she's the chef and owner, and she says,
I no longer feel that a vegan lifestyle for all
is a viable solution for the planet. And it's soil,
which is one of our most precious resources. And they
have some complicated plan that I don't even understand, and
(27:47):
they're going to take their their their meat from regenerative farmers.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Yeah, well, you know, not all vegans do it to
save the planet or think that it's better for the planet.
I mean, I can speak for myself that don't care
about the planet. I don't care about the planet. I do,
but that's not why I'm vegan. I just don't want
to eat any animal products because I don't want to
eat any animal products, not because of anything else.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
Well, they're trying to rebrand themselves, and they're saying that
regenerative farming is an approach to agriculture that prioritizes soil health,
biodiversity and natural processes.
Speaker 2 (28:30):
Everything just sounds like gobbledygook.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
And now that they've gotten a lot of backlash here,
Pete is very upset with them.
Speaker 2 (28:39):
Yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
The woman who owns it says, I believed one thing
and maybe I was wrong, and I believe something else.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
So then what she's saying is the only reason that
she had a vegan restaurant was because she thought that
by having a vegan restaurant was more sustainable, better for
the climate, nothing to do with animals being torture.
Speaker 1 (29:01):
No, I think the only reason she opened it was
to make money. Well, yes, I think of another reason
to open a business. Why would you go to? Restaurants
are hard? Yes, so I can open one and it
makes no money, the customers don't show.
Speaker 2 (29:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (29:16):
But but a vegan restaurant, it's it's it's very specialized.
Speaker 2 (29:19):
How many times do you did you go?
Speaker 4 (29:20):
I've been a few times, and I know that there
was one in Calabasas and it's a gora and it's
no there.
Speaker 3 (29:29):
Now, maybe maybe twice.
Speaker 4 (29:30):
I mean, look what, I'm a weird vegan. Okay, here's
the thing I don't. I don't necessarily go restaurants.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Vegan restaurants were.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
One of the most prominent vegans in Los Angeles, and
you went twice.
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Because I just I'm trying to explain to you that
I'm a weird vegan. I don't necessarily need to go
to vegan restaurants. I will go to a restaurant that
offers vegetables and pasta or hummus or quene waw or
or a spinach solid I don't need. I don't eat
fake meat, and I.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Don't do fake If you not gonna go, they're gonna
start selling cheeseburgers.
Speaker 2 (30:03):
Regenerative cheeseburgers, but cheeseburgers.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
I what you know what I want to see you go? Now,
you go there and you go eat.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
Your meat, well, I don't.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
I got to see if it's real meat. I don't
know what regenerative farming is. I didn't understand it.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
It is real met is it real? Meant?
Speaker 6 (30:19):
All right?
Speaker 1 (30:20):
We come back. Mark Garragos. He's assuing Fox News on
