Speaker 1 (00:00):
Can't. I am six forty.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on from one to four and then after four o'clock.
You miss anything, remember you can always go to the
iHeart app for a John Cobelt show on demand. That's
the podcast, same as the radio show. So there's no
reason to ever to miss a moment sometime during the day,
and we've got the moistline for Friday eight seven seven
(00:22):
Moist eighty six. We're taking calls. You'd call in you
may you can come on the air and complain and
lecture the rest of the world. Eight seven seven Moist
eighty six. There's a talkback feature on the iHeart app,
and if you want to follow us on social media,
it's at John Cobelt Radio. All right, Now, Columbia is
(00:42):
such a mess, and this stuff is going to continue
for a long time at all the universities, over years,
with over many different issues. The issue almost doesn't even matter.
It's that you had a complete breakdown of adults being
in charge, totally abdicating any responsibility to keep a campus
(01:06):
in order so that most of the kids can get
their work done and take their final exams. That is
the purpose of most of the universities this time of year,
kids finishing up classes, preparing to take exams, all right,
and then in a few weeks graduations. That's the job
of the administrators to keep the place orderly safe so
(01:28):
that people can study. And instead they have let basically
people acting like zoo animals running around acting violently. Last
night of Columbia, they smashed into the administration building. I'm
with a hammer smashing the windows, and they took over
(01:49):
the administrative offices.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So the buffoons, and I mean buffoons that.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Run the university now don't have an office to do
whatever it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Is they do all day. I don't know what they
do all day.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I don't know if they drink all day and rub
themselves up with oils and lotions and they have orgies.
I don't know if they get stoned, if they're snorting meth,
taking LSD tabs. I don't know how they spend their day.
But their policies are absolutely idiotic. And with the demonstrators,
(02:26):
I want to know how many of these are foreign students,
how many of these are kids, kids, adults are here
on foreign visas student visas because in a rational world,
we ought to find out and deport them. They should
not only be suspended, expelled, arrested, jailed. Some of them
(02:46):
ought to be deported. You know what's going on here.
We've been infiltrated. We've been infiltrated by foreign groups who
are bent on destabilizing and ruining our society. This has
been going on now for several years, and every issue,
(03:08):
some of them fake, some of them legitimate, keeps ratcheting
up and ratcheting up, and so now students whose families
have paid close to four hundred thousand dollars it's over
ninety grand to go to Columbia for room and board
and tuition, all the other price gouging that major universities
(03:32):
inflict on parents. You're paying almost four hundred thousand dollars
and you can't take final exams in peace. And I
don't know where everybody is. The administrators are really weak, silly,
crazy people. There's something wrong with them. The progressive woke
(03:55):
movement has created a species that I don't recognize. I
never have encountered people like this who give up one
of the great universities in the nation to criminals who's
spouting death to Jews. They want all the Jews killed,
(04:16):
They want the nation of Israel destroyed, and they want
to do it from thousands of miles away.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
They have no impact.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I just heard a new story today Benjamin Not in
Yahoo says, whether they have a cease fire or not,
whether they get hostages back or not, they are going
to go into Rafa and finish off Amas. They're going
to do it, basically, whether anyone likes it or not.
So all this is symbolic, performative nonsense. They're not stopping
(04:49):
the war and stuff they're screaming about. It's like, oh,
they have to divest. In other words, they want Columbia,
which has billions of dollars invested, to withdraw any stock
they own in a company that makes weapons. And the
weapons end up in Israel's hands, either Israel's buying them
(05:12):
or We're shipping them, and so they want Columbia to
what's that.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Going to do?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
But also, John, how hypocritical, right they're calling on that?
But yet they're smashing windows. I mean they're violent there.
I mean it's one thing if you're being peaceful, but
they're not.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Their actions are violent. Their rhetoric is violent. And all
the adults are standing and looking. You don't see any
police there because they can't go on They can't go
on property unless Columbia invites them. Well, at what point
is the crime so bad that the police are mandated
to go Because we're going to hit that point.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I just saw on TV that they are.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They have a milk rate and they have pulleys, and
they're pulling the milk crate up to the top floor
of the administration building. And these jackasses with their stupid
masks and their head gear are coming out and taking
supplies out of the milk rate. I don't know if
it's pizza, I don't know if it's weapons, and nobody
(06:17):
stops it. Play a cut here by an anti Israeli
protester talking to a Fox News reporter about Columbia students
who held the janitor hostage.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
How do you feel about them taking over the building
right now?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I think that their cause is a just cause, and
I hope that the administration really hears their demand.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
I think they're just demands.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Do you feel like it was right to hold three
of the janitor workers hostage within side of the building.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I think that's a really false narrative.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That's what they the janitors are saying that they weren't
allowed to leave.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I think that that's a really false narrative.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Even if the janitors are saying that, you're saying that.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
That's not true.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I think that it's a really false narrative that the
students took anyone hostage.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
How do you feel about some of the Jewish students
saying that they don't feel safe here on campus.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I think that this is also a really false narrative
that's being promoted.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Do you think October seventh and the attack that happened
is a false nuity? Do you believe that some of
the women were raped?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
College just came back?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
So this is what happened.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Can you get out of my face? Please?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So this is what you see at these these protests.
Once you get into the nitty gritty of what happened
on October to seventh, the rape of women, what's happening.
They deny what happened. As you know that it's actually
factual now that the janitorial workers were blocked inside of
the building, And anytime you bring that up, the Jewish
(07:51):
calls the Jewish people, the kids that feel unsafe on campus.
They denied the reality of the guys.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And that's a Fox News reporter. Somebody brings that up.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, well, she's a terrorist. There's no point in talking
to her. You're not going to get the answers that
a normal person would. She's a terrorist. She's financed by
somebody who is promoting evil and promoting destruction and intentionally
creating unrest. And no, she doesn't care if Israeli women
are raped, she doesn't care if Israeli babies are baked
(08:22):
in ovens. She doesn't care about Israeli families being shot
to death and slashed and stabbed. She is a psychopathic terrorist.
Now who is she and how did she get into
the country or was she born here?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And where was she raised by? Who? Who are the
parents here? Who are there?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Like I said, there's no adults available anywhere, There's no
I mean, the faculty is joining the protests at many
of these colleges. The administrators are playing dead, the parents
are nowhere to be seen. The police stand around all
day waiting for orders that never come. All you have
(09:03):
in charge is people who are chemically mentally unbalanced, violent,
and and and their criminals. I mean, this janitor situation.
How many felonies is that kidnapping? Those are kidnapping charges,
and nobody cares about anything. Nobody cares about murder, rape, kidnapping.
(09:30):
H a school where no one can go to class anymore.
This is what all the woke progressive ideas have bought
right up, brought it right up to this moment. Absolutely nothing.
That is complete anarchy. And you don't see anybody. You
don't see any politicians coming forward, You don't see any
(09:51):
leaders in any sector coming together and saying enough of this.
When is the enough is enough moment? There isn't one.
This is just fascinating. And like I said before, they
scream about divestiture, about selling stock. Somebody's gonna buy that
(10:12):
stock and Columbia will make a profit on it. It's
not going to take down any companies making Columbia sell stock.
It's a fake issue. Oh this is fake. This is
about anarchy. This is about making our country unstable, unsafe,
and to ruin it. And if it wasn't this issue,
(10:35):
it would be the George Floyd issue. If wasn't George Floyd,
it would be transgenders. If wasn't transgenders, it would be
climate change. This one will fade and another one will
come tomorrow. It'll be Trump because the mission is not
these separate issues. The mission is to make the country
unstable and unlivable. And we've gotten infiltrated. This is financed
(10:59):
by groups and people, a lot of them are out
of the country. And what a rational person would do,
a rational leader would start deportation proceedings, arrests, jail, figure
out where they're getting their money from, who they are,
who they're related to, what's behind this. We've been infiltrated.
You'll see eventually it'll come out. Well, we come back.
(11:24):
We're going to talk with a reporter from NewsNation and
he's at the scene at Columbia. National correspondent Rich McHugh
is next from News Nation.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI am
six forty bye.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Momentarily, we're going to get Rich mcew on if not
this segment, next segment. He's in the middle of it.
National correspondent for News Nation, the cable news network. It's
actually a really good news network. And he's at Columbia
University and the protests are completely out of hand. Now
you have these terrorist schoons that have smashed their way in.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
UH.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
They've had they've had hostages along the way. They apparently
uh refused to let janitors out of the building. They
made it to the top floor where the administrator's offices are,
and now they're pulling in food and supplies through the
windows and their their their whole purpose in life is
(12:26):
to completely undermine the functioning of the university. And they
picked a good one. They picked a good one at
Columbia's because there's absolutely no administrators interested in taking charge.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
None.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
They had deadlines that they threatened these kids with going
back to Friday, right up to what yesterday at two o'clock,
and the students blew through all the deadlines. Of course
they would, because nothing was enforced. These are toddlers. You're
dealing with emotionally unbalanced toddlers, and they're caught up now
in like some kind of emotional orgy of hatred and violence,
(13:09):
and with their stupid masks. I mean, for God's sakes,
the COVID masks are back and I'm looking at I'm
looking at some live footage right now and they're standing.
A lot of them are women too, And this is
really an interesting species of really angry, violent, nasty women
(13:30):
who want Jews dead. That's really fascinating. Where did this come?
Where are these people from? Are they all Americans? They
grow up and we're raised here. I bet you a
lot of them aren't. And a lot of them maybe
ought to be investigated for deportation. This is what diversity
is about. Now.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Are they wearing masks because they're afraid of COVID or
because they want to disguise their faces?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Disguise their faces and it's also been a political statement.
Masks seem to show up with a lot of progressive groups,
but they also I think primarily are for disguises because
they hear the threats that they're going to be suspended
or expelled and they don't want to be publicly identified.
(14:14):
They look, this is this is nothing but a group
mental illness. There there's many books and I've read some
of them on the dynamics of a mob, A dynamics
a group think mental illness. You know, we've seen this
all our lives. It happens all over the world somewhere
where a mob becomes its own violent organism. And they
(14:34):
don't think this is not I keep hearing people say,
what do they think they're not thinking. They're reacting a
lot the way animals do. Watch if you watch some
nature videos, when animals get in a group, there's there
really is a herd mentality that that phrase excess, that fray,
that phrase exists for a reason, and they get all
(14:56):
pumped up with their four months all the chemicals the
court dissolved, which is one of the stress chemicals that
the body produces, and people's faces swell up, turn red.
And when you are in a state like that, when
you're in an angry state like that, it's short circuits
(15:18):
the logic centers of your brain. People usually don't think
very clearly when they're really angry. We've all dealt with
angry people right in our homes, at work, in public situations.
Angry people are not using their intellects. Angry people are
(15:38):
flooding their brain with all sorts of chemicals that make
them violent and aggressive. So what you're dealing with is
like an animalistic response, and it's a waste of time
to spend all day analyzing them and what are their
demands and what are they thinking, and what is their philosophy?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
There is no philosophy in that moment. There is no thinking.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
But also you know how you say that many of
these these students and non students don't even know what
they're protesting about. Well, a lot of people say, well,
how did Hitler come to power?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Right?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
A lot of people. And I remember I remember as
a kid, I watched this after school special I'll never
forget it. It was on ABC, and it was a true
story about a history teacher who did this experiment and
it was called the Wave, and it showed how people
are such followers and just follow no matter what it is.
And you can see with what's going on now, how
(16:34):
people are just following and not even knowing what they're thinking.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
About basic acounimal behavior. I was telling you off the
air the other day.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I've been watching this documentary Nature documentary on gorillas, and.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
There will be a couple of gorillas in the pack,
will assert themselves as leaders, as alpha males, and they
fight gorillas in the other part of the jungle. I
think in Uganda, and there was the central gorillas and
then there was the western gorillas. And the western gorillas
would come over and steal the fruit from the fruit
(17:12):
trees in the central region, and the central gorilla said, no,
that's all those are our trees and our fruit. And
the leaders would get angry, and they had a bunch
of followers and they you know, they'd maul each other
to fight over the fruit. Well, that's what you saw
in Germany. That's there's a few leaders in Hitler was
a very powerful, charismatic genius. Every once in a while
(17:37):
somebody describes as amgenius.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
How could you say? Because he was.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
He knew how to motivate large groups of people and
get them to kill millions. That is a specific kind
of evil talent. And there's always ready followers for anything
like that, as long as there's group, because you feel
(18:02):
protected in a group and you cover for each other.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And that's what you have here.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
You have people who feel protected because they're in a group.
There's absolutely no consequence for what they do. They have
been taught in their schooling, in their homes.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I guess that.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
And this starts young. It's not just the wacky colleges.
This starts going into their homes. You don't see any
parents showing up here trying to take their sons and
daughters and begging them not to spend the day at
Columbia chant to kill the Jews. Nobody's showing up and
expressing their disappointment with out their son and daughter turned
out this is what they got from home.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You've got the people in Palestine. The little kids are
taught every day that Jews are pigs, Jews are dirty,
Jews should die. Well, you teach that every day, ninety
percent of them will believe that, and they're ready to
join Hamas by time they turn seventeen. So that's why
this idea there's an innocent Palestinian. Now they're not so
innocent because all the Hamas soldiers are young men.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
They were created by fathers and mothers and programmed to
be this way. I got to go.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A SI.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Let's go right now to New York City of Columbia.
The national correspondent for News Nation, which is a really
good cable news channel, Rich Mheugh is there and it's
going to tell us what's going on.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Rich, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
What's the state of the world there right now?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Well, it's a bit of chaos. I'll say that I've
been here for several weeks now, covering this two and
a half weeks and things just kind of got out
of control in the past two days. So just to
set the scene, yesterday, university set a deadline for students
in the encampment to evacuate the encampment or faith student
(20:04):
disciplinary action. They did not, and basically they vowed in
unison to stay there. Last night overnight around one am,
students from the encampment moved to Hamilton Hall, which is
like a main academic hub on campus where a lot
of the classes are adjacent to the encampment. They broke
(20:26):
in to Hamilton Hall using hammers and then barricaded, you know,
dozens of them barricaded themselves into Hamilton Hall. And that's
what they've been ever since. The university did not call
in the New York Police Department. I spoke with the
New York Police Department this morning. They said, look, we're
we have not been contacted by Columbia University. We are
(20:51):
at already and waiting to develop a plan if they
should need our help. The history on that is they
were called in two weeks ago, and when they were
they made one hundred and something arrest I think it
was one hundred and eight arrests. Columbia received a lot
of blowback from that, for from faculty and students, and
in an email last week they said, we're not going
(21:12):
to do that again. So they've ultimately painted themselves into
a corner and now another student protesters have ratchet up
to this untenable position occupying with building what.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
What they got?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
They got blowback from who don't most of the students
want to go to class and finish their exams.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
So what percentage of the school is giving them a blowback?
Speaker 8 (21:36):
That's a good question. It's really it's hard to even
pin that down. But yesterday when we were at the bate,
like inside the encampment, the faculty faculty came out and
were linked arms, preventing the administrator school administrators from coming
in the encampment and kind of meeting out these you know,
(21:58):
disciplinary actions.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Wait wait second, no, no, no, no, I hadn't heard this.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
The faculty linked arms to keep out the administrators who
wanted to bring the suspensions to the students.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Yep, if you look at my Twitter page or my
ex page, Rich McHugh, I have a video that's now
kind of gun Bonker's viral showing the faculty and teachers.
These are like tenured professors linking arms, defending the students
in the encampment, not allowing people in. I was not
allowed in as a member of the media for their
(22:33):
for the protection of the students, was what I was told.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And so the administrators turned around and went home.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Well, today is basically a closed day on campus. They've
said every non essential you know, Colombia employees not to
go in. They've locked the campus. Uh, every every door
on campus is locked. There's only one gate in and
out now, and that's one hundred and sixteenth in Amsterdam,
where the student protesters are now giving like impromptu press
(23:06):
conferences through the walls, like through the steel walls. They've
also asked for donations of food too.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So wait, wait, the student are want donations and food
because they're locked inside.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And they're hungry.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Yeah, you can't really make this up.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Are there any adults anywhere?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Well, that's the question. Columbia administrators from the university president
attack from all sides. Frankly, the protesters outside, protesters inside alumni.
I mean, I don't see how they get this right
in the coming days. No, clearly head towards a some
(24:02):
sort of god what's the word cataclysmic end to this,
because I don't see that existing during graduation, which is
in two weeks. If they if they can have graduation.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
No, it's it's too far gone.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Sometimes you let an issue fester to the point where
the patient is going to die a scepsis the infection
spreads throughout the body and the patient dies, And that's
what they've got here.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
There's not one single person willing willing to take charge.
Are they getting any criticism from anybody in New York?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Politicians? Business leaders?
Speaker 9 (24:41):
And yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I mean, is is there any kind of response to
this is insanity?
Speaker 9 (24:47):
No?
Speaker 8 (24:47):
The response from politicians is is pretty large and vocal.
Response from alumni, uh is loud.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But it has no effect on the administrators.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
I'm sorry I missed your question.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It has no effect on the administrators.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Apparently not. You know, I'm an alum and so I
was in there yesterday and there was several other alum
that I was talking to and I said, you know,
this is my personal view, but is this is embarrassing?
And they did not share my view, some of them,
some of them did protest. Is at the heart of Columbia.
(25:27):
It's been part of a lore of Columbia since they
took The protesters took over this same building in nineteen
sixty eight during the when they were protesting the Vietnam War.
So it's part of the fabric of the place. But
people's rights are being trampled over to other students, right,
rights are being trampled over, laws are being broken, and
(25:48):
that's when authorities need to be called in.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, I mean that's what the issue is, not the
right to protest. It's the right of everyone else to
live their lives and go to class and take their exams,
and certainly for the Jewish kids not to be harassed
and threatened. And those those janitors, I mean, is that real.
The janitors were locked in there against their will for
a while.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Yeah. I saw a picture of one this morning who
was acting heroically, you know, he was fighting off one
of these protesters, almost defending the building. And uh, you know,
there's no public public safety. Is was pretty It's hard
to it's hard to see them, you know, in the
(26:34):
times that we've been allowed into campus, they're just not present.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I don't know if you'd know.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
The answer to this, but I understand right now the
protocol is that if the since the university is privately owned,
it's private property, that the police aren't going to come
in unless asked. Is there some kind of yeah, okay,
but is there some situation where the police would be
compelled if someone's life is in danger, if somebody set
(27:02):
the building on fire, I.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Mean, in that case, good question. I spoke with one
student who was in this scrum last night and he
said his friends called the police and said you must
get in here now, and they did not come. So
it's a confusing situation. I've talked to many of the
(27:24):
police officers. I know that they're chomping at the bit
to get in and help. And so it's it's not
coming from.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
The police, but it's somebody from sis.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
What I understand if somebody called from inside my house
and said we've got we've got a gunman in here
and we're being threatened, the police would show up and
try to break into the house.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I think that's right. Yeah, Wow, it's excusing scenario. I
don't have an answer for you on this one.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
All right, Rich mceue, excellent, thank you very much for
describing what's been going on. And he's with a NewsNation
you can see News Nation is a real good cable
news channel. He's a national correspondent. And then they're gonna
get what they deserve there. I mean the rest of
the students who are saying are not getting what they deserve.
(28:16):
But the faculty is in on it. The administrators won't
stop it though, if something really horrible happens.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
They asked for it.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
This is what it's set up for, because the terrorists
inside the administration building aren't going to give up.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And please send them food. They're hungry. You know, you've
burnt a lot of calories terrorizing.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
We're gonna have Royal Oaks coming up from ABC News
in just a few minutes. Would you believe that Donald
Trump was sanctioned by the judge in this ridiculous case.
He violated the judges gag order and now he's being
fined nine thousand dollars. Trump is going to be asking
(29:02):
to be fed, just like the Columbia protesters. Nine thousand dollars. Wow,
that is cruel and unusual punishment inhumanity of it all. Oh,
we got to play this now because this just came
across not too long ago. You heard us talking with
Dave McHugh. Wait did I get his name right? Uh?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
What?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Rich mque excuse me? Rich mceue from News Nation. He's
their national correspondent at Columbia and he just went through
how the middle of the night, these terrorists busted into
the administrative building at Columbia, took janitor's hostage for a while,
and now they're still at the top floor and nobody
(29:50):
knows what to do. Well, no, everybody knows what to do.
They don't want to do it. Now they're asking for food.
They're hungry, and somebody was filling a milk crate if
we presume it's food, and they had a pulley system
and they were pulling the milk crate up to the
top floor there so the terrorists could eat. In this clip,
(30:13):
there's a reporter questioning and anti Israeli Columbia student and
the student is demanding that the university feed the protesters.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Listen to this, Why should the university be obligated to
provide food to people who've taken over a building.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Well, first of all, we're saying that they're obligated to
provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
But you mentioned that there was a question that food
and water to be brought.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
In unless they listen to allow it to be brought in.
I mean, well, I guess it's ultimately a question of
what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has
to its students. Do you want students to die of
dehydration and starvation or get severely ill even if they
disagree with you. If the answer is no, then you
should allow basic I mean it's crazy to say because
(31:00):
we're on an Ivy League campus, but this is like
basic humanitarian aid we're asking for, Like could people please to.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Have a glass of water? But they stop? Stop stop
say or you could go home.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You could end your violent protest the felonies that you've
committed busting into the building, holding the janitor's hostage. You
could act like a sane person and go home and
see what's in your refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's option B continue with this.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
But they they didn't put themselves in that very deliberately,
in that situation and in that position. So it seems
like you're sort of saying, we want to be revolutionary,
so we want to take up this building.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Now, would you please bring us some food and water?
Speaker 9 (31:42):
Nobody's asking them to bring anything everything. We're we're asking
them to not violently stop us from bringing in basic
humanitarian aid.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
There stopping a delivery of food.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
We are looking for a commitment from them that they
will not stop it.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
By having stopped it.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
Well, I don't, I'm not. I don't know to what
extent it has been attempted, But we're looking.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
For she's made up a charge, she's actually made something
up and then demanded that her made up charge be addressed.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I like how she said that she needed humanitarian aid,
Like she's some starving child and she's a student at
Columbia Columbia University.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
She's starving ninety thousand dollars a year, which includes food. Well,
I go, they shut down the campus. I guess they
shut down the They shut down the cafeteria's there, they
shut down the vending machines.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Oh my god. They're truly insane, completely delusional.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
You know what it's it's kind of sad listening to
these reporters or whoever they are trying to talk to
these people.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
You can't you can't talk.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Go go to an insane asylum. Go to like calling
a statemental hospital. Go try to talk to the people
who are behind those big, heavy green doors in padded
rooms who are screaming all night. Talk calmly to them,
try to be rational. Or go talk to some of
(33:16):
the animals in the zoo and tell them to stop
screaming and thrashing about at night.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
All right, when we come back, we're gonna talk to
Royal Oaks. Another circus. Everything's a circus. So Donald Trump's
going through this trial about writing a check to cover
up his affair with the porn star, and the judge
(33:43):
ruled that Trump will not shut up. He keeps violating
the gag order, and now he's going to be fined
nine thousand dollars. We'll talk to Royal Oaks. ABC News
Legal Corresponding coming up next eight.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
You've been listening to The John Cobalt Show podcast.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
You can always hear the show live on KFI AM
six forty from one to four pm every Monday through Friday,

You're listening to the John Cobelt podcast on the iHeartRadio app.
We're on from one to four and then after four o'clock.
You miss anything, remember you can always go to the
iHeart app for a John Cobelt show on demand. That's
the podcast, same as the radio show. So there's no

and we've got the moistline for Friday eight seven seven
(00:22):
Moist eighty six. We're taking calls. You'd call in you
may you can come on the air and complain and
lecture the rest of the world. Eight seven seven Moist
eighty six. There's a talkback feature on the iHeart app,
and if you want to follow us on social media,
it's at John Cobelt Radio. All right, Now, Columbia is
(00:42):
such a mess, and this stuff is going to continue
for a long time at all the universities, over years,
with over many different issues. The issue almost doesn't even matter.
It's that you had a complete breakdown of adults being
in charge, totally abdicating any responsibility to keep a campus
(01:06):
in order so that most of the kids can get
their work done and take their final exams. That is
the purpose of most of the universities this time of year,
kids finishing up classes, preparing to take exams, all right,
and then in a few weeks graduations. That's the job
of the administrators to keep the place orderly safe so
(01:28):
that people can study. And instead they have let basically
people acting like zoo animals running around acting violently. Last
night of Columbia, they smashed into the administration building. I'm
with a hammer smashing the windows, and they took over
(01:49):
the administrative offices.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
So the buffoons, and I mean buffoons that.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Run the university now don't have an office to do
whatever it.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Is they do all day. I don't know what they
do all day.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
I don't know if they drink all day and rub
themselves up with oils and lotions and they have orgies.
I don't know if they get stoned, if they're snorting meth,
taking LSD tabs. I don't know how they spend their day.
But their policies are absolutely idiotic. And with the demonstrators,
(02:26):
I want to know how many of these are foreign students,
how many of these are kids, kids, adults are here
on foreign visas student visas because in a rational world,
we ought to find out and deport them. They should
not only be suspended, expelled, arrested, jailed. Some of them
(02:46):
ought to be deported. You know what's going on here.
We've been infiltrated. We've been infiltrated by foreign groups who
are bent on destabilizing and ruining our society. This has
been going on now for several years, and every issue,
(03:08):
some of them fake, some of them legitimate, keeps ratcheting
up and ratcheting up, and so now students whose families
have paid close to four hundred thousand dollars it's over
ninety grand to go to Columbia for room and board
and tuition, all the other price gouging that major universities
(03:32):
inflict on parents. You're paying almost four hundred thousand dollars
and you can't take final exams in peace. And I
don't know where everybody is. The administrators are really weak, silly,
crazy people. There's something wrong with them. The progressive woke
(03:55):
movement has created a species that I don't recognize. I
never have encountered people like this who give up one
of the great universities in the nation to criminals who's
spouting death to Jews. They want all the Jews killed,
(04:16):
They want the nation of Israel destroyed, and they want
to do it from thousands of miles away.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
They have no impact.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
I just heard a new story today Benjamin Not in
Yahoo says, whether they have a cease fire or not,
whether they get hostages back or not, they are going
to go into Rafa and finish off Amas. They're going
to do it, basically, whether anyone likes it or not.
So all this is symbolic, performative nonsense. They're not stopping
(04:49):
the war and stuff they're screaming about. It's like, oh,
they have to divest. In other words, they want Columbia,
which has billions of dollars invested, to withdraw any stock
they own in a company that makes weapons. And the
weapons end up in Israel's hands, either Israel's buying them
(05:12):
or We're shipping them, and so they want Columbia to
what's that.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Going to do?
Speaker 4 (05:18):
But also, John, how hypocritical, right they're calling on that?
But yet they're smashing windows. I mean they're violent there.
I mean it's one thing if you're being peaceful, but
they're not.
Speaker 5 (05:29):
They're not.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Their actions are violent. Their rhetoric is violent. And all
the adults are standing and looking. You don't see any
police there because they can't go on They can't go
on property unless Columbia invites them. Well, at what point
is the crime so bad that the police are mandated
to go Because we're going to hit that point.
Speaker 1 (05:53):
I just saw on TV that they are.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
They have a milk rate and they have pulleys, and
they're pulling the milk crate up to the top floor
of the administration building. And these jackasses with their stupid
masks and their head gear are coming out and taking
supplies out of the milk rate. I don't know if
it's pizza, I don't know if it's weapons, and nobody
(06:17):
stops it. Play a cut here by an anti Israeli
protester talking to a Fox News reporter about Columbia students
who held the janitor hostage.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
How do you feel about them taking over the building
right now?
Speaker 5 (06:39):
I think that their cause is a just cause, and
I hope that the administration really hears their demand.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
I think they're just demands.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
Do you feel like it was right to hold three
of the janitor workers hostage within side of the building.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
I think that's a really false narrative.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That's what they the janitors are saying that they weren't
allowed to leave.
Speaker 6 (07:00):
I think that that's a really false narrative.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
Even if the janitors are saying that, you're saying that.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
That's not true.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
I think that it's a really false narrative that the
students took anyone hostage.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
How do you feel about some of the Jewish students
saying that they don't feel safe here on campus.
Speaker 5 (07:14):
I think that this is also a really false narrative
that's being promoted.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
Do you think October seventh and the attack that happened
is a false nuity? Do you believe that some of
the women were raped?
Speaker 6 (07:25):
College just came back?
Speaker 3 (07:27):
So this is what happened.
Speaker 6 (07:28):
Can you get out of my face? Please?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
So this is what you see at these these protests.
Once you get into the nitty gritty of what happened
on October to seventh, the rape of women, what's happening.
They deny what happened. As you know that it's actually
factual now that the janitorial workers were blocked inside of
the building, And anytime you bring that up, the Jewish
(07:51):
calls the Jewish people, the kids that feel unsafe on campus.
They denied the reality of the guys.
Speaker 1 (07:57):
And that's a Fox News reporter. Somebody brings that up.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
Yeah, well, she's a terrorist. There's no point in talking
to her. You're not going to get the answers that
a normal person would. She's a terrorist. She's financed by
somebody who is promoting evil and promoting destruction and intentionally
creating unrest. And no, she doesn't care if Israeli women
are raped, she doesn't care if Israeli babies are baked
(08:22):
in ovens. She doesn't care about Israeli families being shot
to death and slashed and stabbed. She is a psychopathic terrorist.
Now who is she and how did she get into
the country or was she born here?
Speaker 1 (08:36):
And where was she raised by? Who? Who are the
parents here? Who are there?
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Like I said, there's no adults available anywhere, There's no
I mean, the faculty is joining the protests at many
of these colleges. The administrators are playing dead, the parents
are nowhere to be seen. The police stand around all
day waiting for orders that never come. All you have
(09:03):
in charge is people who are chemically mentally unbalanced, violent,
and and and their criminals. I mean, this janitor situation.
How many felonies is that kidnapping? Those are kidnapping charges,
and nobody cares about anything. Nobody cares about murder, rape, kidnapping.
(09:30):
H a school where no one can go to class anymore.
This is what all the woke progressive ideas have bought
right up, brought it right up to this moment. Absolutely nothing.
That is complete anarchy. And you don't see anybody. You
don't see any politicians coming forward, You don't see any
(09:51):
leaders in any sector coming together and saying enough of this.
When is the enough is enough moment? There isn't one.
This is just fascinating. And like I said before, they
scream about divestiture, about selling stock. Somebody's gonna buy that
(10:12):
stock and Columbia will make a profit on it. It's
not going to take down any companies making Columbia sell stock.
It's a fake issue. Oh this is fake. This is
about anarchy. This is about making our country unstable, unsafe,
and to ruin it. And if it wasn't this issue,
(10:35):
it would be the George Floyd issue. If wasn't George Floyd,
it would be transgenders. If wasn't transgenders, it would be
climate change. This one will fade and another one will
come tomorrow. It'll be Trump because the mission is not
these separate issues. The mission is to make the country
unstable and unlivable. And we've gotten infiltrated. This is financed
(10:59):
by groups and people, a lot of them are out
of the country. And what a rational person would do,
a rational leader would start deportation proceedings, arrests, jail, figure
out where they're getting their money from, who they are,
who they're related to, what's behind this. We've been infiltrated.
You'll see eventually it'll come out. Well, we come back.
(11:24):
We're going to talk with a reporter from NewsNation and
he's at the scene at Columbia. National correspondent Rich McHugh
is next from News Nation.
Speaker 7 (11:36):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI am
six forty bye.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
Momentarily, we're going to get Rich mcew on if not
this segment, next segment. He's in the middle of it.
National correspondent for News Nation, the cable news network. It's
actually a really good news network. And he's at Columbia
University and the protests are completely out of hand. Now
you have these terrorist schoons that have smashed their way in.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
UH.
Speaker 2 (12:05):
They've had they've had hostages along the way. They apparently
uh refused to let janitors out of the building. They
made it to the top floor where the administrator's offices are,
and now they're pulling in food and supplies through the
windows and their their their whole purpose in life is
(12:26):
to completely undermine the functioning of the university. And they
picked a good one. They picked a good one at
Columbia's because there's absolutely no administrators interested in taking charge.
Speaker 1 (12:42):
None.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
They had deadlines that they threatened these kids with going
back to Friday, right up to what yesterday at two o'clock,
and the students blew through all the deadlines. Of course
they would, because nothing was enforced. These are toddlers. You're
dealing with emotionally unbalanced toddlers, and they're caught up now
in like some kind of emotional orgy of hatred and violence,
(13:09):
and with their stupid masks. I mean, for God's sakes,
the COVID masks are back and I'm looking at I'm
looking at some live footage right now and they're standing.
A lot of them are women too, And this is
really an interesting species of really angry, violent, nasty women
(13:30):
who want Jews dead. That's really fascinating. Where did this come?
Where are these people from? Are they all Americans? They
grow up and we're raised here. I bet you a
lot of them aren't. And a lot of them maybe
ought to be investigated for deportation. This is what diversity
is about. Now.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
Are they wearing masks because they're afraid of COVID or
because they want to disguise their faces?
Speaker 2 (13:51):
Disguise their faces and it's also been a political statement.
Masks seem to show up with a lot of progressive groups,
but they also I think primarily are for disguises because
they hear the threats that they're going to be suspended
or expelled and they don't want to be publicly identified.
(14:14):
They look, this is this is nothing but a group
mental illness. There there's many books and I've read some
of them on the dynamics of a mob, A dynamics
a group think mental illness. You know, we've seen this
all our lives. It happens all over the world somewhere
where a mob becomes its own violent organism. And they
(14:34):
don't think this is not I keep hearing people say,
what do they think they're not thinking. They're reacting a
lot the way animals do. Watch if you watch some
nature videos, when animals get in a group, there's there
really is a herd mentality that that phrase excess, that fray,
that phrase exists for a reason, and they get all
(14:56):
pumped up with their four months all the chemicals the
court dissolved, which is one of the stress chemicals that
the body produces, and people's faces swell up, turn red.
And when you are in a state like that, when
you're in an angry state like that, it's short circuits
(15:18):
the logic centers of your brain. People usually don't think
very clearly when they're really angry. We've all dealt with
angry people right in our homes, at work, in public situations.
Angry people are not using their intellects. Angry people are
(15:38):
flooding their brain with all sorts of chemicals that make
them violent and aggressive. So what you're dealing with is
like an animalistic response, and it's a waste of time
to spend all day analyzing them and what are their
demands and what are they thinking, and what is their philosophy?
Speaker 1 (15:55):
There is no philosophy in that moment. There is no thinking.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
But also you know how you say that many of
these these students and non students don't even know what
they're protesting about. Well, a lot of people say, well,
how did Hitler come to power?
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Right?
Speaker 4 (16:11):
A lot of people. And I remember I remember as
a kid, I watched this after school special I'll never
forget it. It was on ABC, and it was a true
story about a history teacher who did this experiment and
it was called the Wave, and it showed how people
are such followers and just follow no matter what it is.
And you can see with what's going on now, how
(16:34):
people are just following and not even knowing what they're thinking.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
About basic acounimal behavior. I was telling you off the
air the other day.
Speaker 2 (16:41):
I've been watching this documentary Nature documentary on gorillas, and.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It's the same thing.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
There will be a couple of gorillas in the pack,
will assert themselves as leaders, as alpha males, and they
fight gorillas in the other part of the jungle. I
think in Uganda, and there was the central gorillas and
then there was the western gorillas. And the western gorillas
would come over and steal the fruit from the fruit
(17:12):
trees in the central region, and the central gorilla said, no,
that's all those are our trees and our fruit. And
the leaders would get angry, and they had a bunch
of followers and they you know, they'd maul each other
to fight over the fruit. Well, that's what you saw
in Germany. That's there's a few leaders in Hitler was
a very powerful, charismatic genius. Every once in a while
(17:37):
somebody describes as amgenius.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
How could you say? Because he was.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
He knew how to motivate large groups of people and
get them to kill millions. That is a specific kind
of evil talent. And there's always ready followers for anything
like that, as long as there's group, because you feel
(18:02):
protected in a group and you cover for each other.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
And that's what you have here.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
You have people who feel protected because they're in a group.
There's absolutely no consequence for what they do. They have
been taught in their schooling, in their homes.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
I guess that.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
And this starts young. It's not just the wacky colleges.
This starts going into their homes. You don't see any
parents showing up here trying to take their sons and
daughters and begging them not to spend the day at
Columbia chant to kill the Jews. Nobody's showing up and
expressing their disappointment with out their son and daughter turned
out this is what they got from home.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
All right.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
You've got the people in Palestine. The little kids are
taught every day that Jews are pigs, Jews are dirty,
Jews should die. Well, you teach that every day, ninety
percent of them will believe that, and they're ready to
join Hamas by time they turn seventeen. So that's why
this idea there's an innocent Palestinian. Now they're not so
innocent because all the Hamas soldiers are young men.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
They were created by fathers and mothers and programmed to
be this way. I got to go.
Speaker 7 (19:13):
You're listening to John Cobelts on demand from KFI A SI.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
Let's go right now to New York City of Columbia.
The national correspondent for News Nation, which is a really
good cable news channel, Rich Mheugh is there and it's
going to tell us what's going on.
Speaker 8 (19:33):
Rich, Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
What's the state of the world there right now?
Speaker 8 (19:41):
Well, it's a bit of chaos. I'll say that I've
been here for several weeks now, covering this two and
a half weeks and things just kind of got out
of control in the past two days. So just to
set the scene, yesterday, university set a deadline for students
in the encampment to evacuate the encampment or faith student
(20:04):
disciplinary action. They did not, and basically they vowed in
unison to stay there. Last night overnight around one am,
students from the encampment moved to Hamilton Hall, which is
like a main academic hub on campus where a lot
of the classes are adjacent to the encampment. They broke
(20:26):
in to Hamilton Hall using hammers and then barricaded, you know,
dozens of them barricaded themselves into Hamilton Hall. And that's
what they've been ever since. The university did not call
in the New York Police Department. I spoke with the
New York Police Department this morning. They said, look, we're
we have not been contacted by Columbia University. We are
(20:51):
at already and waiting to develop a plan if they
should need our help. The history on that is they
were called in two weeks ago, and when they were
they made one hundred and something arrest I think it
was one hundred and eight arrests. Columbia received a lot
of blowback from that, for from faculty and students, and
in an email last week they said, we're not going
(21:12):
to do that again. So they've ultimately painted themselves into
a corner and now another student protesters have ratchet up
to this untenable position occupying with building what.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
What they got?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
They got blowback from who don't most of the students
want to go to class and finish their exams.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
So what percentage of the school is giving them a blowback?
Speaker 8 (21:36):
That's a good question. It's really it's hard to even
pin that down. But yesterday when we were at the bate,
like inside the encampment, the faculty faculty came out and
were linked arms, preventing the administrator school administrators from coming
in the encampment and kind of meeting out these you know,
(21:58):
disciplinary actions.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Wait wait second, no, no, no, no, I hadn't heard this.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
The faculty linked arms to keep out the administrators who
wanted to bring the suspensions to the students.
Speaker 8 (22:11):
Yep, if you look at my Twitter page or my
ex page, Rich McHugh, I have a video that's now
kind of gun Bonker's viral showing the faculty and teachers.
These are like tenured professors linking arms, defending the students
in the encampment, not allowing people in. I was not
allowed in as a member of the media for their
(22:33):
for the protection of the students, was what I was told.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
And so the administrators turned around and went home.
Speaker 8 (22:44):
Well, today is basically a closed day on campus. They've
said every non essential you know, Colombia employees not to
go in. They've locked the campus. Uh, every every door
on campus is locked. There's only one gate in and
out now, and that's one hundred and sixteenth in Amsterdam,
where the student protesters are now giving like impromptu press
(23:06):
conferences through the walls, like through the steel walls. They've
also asked for donations of food too.
Speaker 2 (23:14):
So wait, wait, the student are want donations and food
because they're locked inside.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
And they're hungry.
Speaker 8 (23:24):
Yeah, you can't really make this up.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Are there any adults anywhere?
Speaker 8 (23:40):
Well, that's the question. Columbia administrators from the university president
attack from all sides. Frankly, the protesters outside, protesters inside alumni.
I mean, I don't see how they get this right
in the coming days. No, clearly head towards a some
(24:02):
sort of god what's the word cataclysmic end to this,
because I don't see that existing during graduation, which is
in two weeks. If they if they can have graduation.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
No, it's it's too far gone.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
Sometimes you let an issue fester to the point where
the patient is going to die a scepsis the infection
spreads throughout the body and the patient dies, And that's
what they've got here.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
They don't.
Speaker 2 (24:30):
There's not one single person willing willing to take charge.
Are they getting any criticism from anybody in New York?
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Politicians? Business leaders?
Speaker 9 (24:41):
And yeah?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
I mean, is is there any kind of response to
this is insanity?
Speaker 9 (24:47):
No?
Speaker 8 (24:47):
The response from politicians is is pretty large and vocal.
Response from alumni, uh is loud.
Speaker 1 (24:56):
But it has no effect on the administrators.
Speaker 8 (25:01):
I'm sorry I missed your question.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It has no effect on the administrators.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Apparently not. You know, I'm an alum and so I
was in there yesterday and there was several other alum
that I was talking to and I said, you know,
this is my personal view, but is this is embarrassing?
And they did not share my view, some of them,
some of them did protest. Is at the heart of Columbia.
(25:27):
It's been part of a lore of Columbia since they
took The protesters took over this same building in nineteen
sixty eight during the when they were protesting the Vietnam War.
So it's part of the fabric of the place. But
people's rights are being trampled over to other students, right,
rights are being trampled over, laws are being broken, and
(25:48):
that's when authorities need to be called in.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
Yeah, I mean that's what the issue is, not the
right to protest. It's the right of everyone else to
live their lives and go to class and take their exams,
and certainly for the Jewish kids not to be harassed
and threatened. And those those janitors, I mean, is that real.
The janitors were locked in there against their will for
a while.
Speaker 8 (26:14):
Yeah. I saw a picture of one this morning who
was acting heroically, you know, he was fighting off one
of these protesters, almost defending the building. And uh, you know,
there's no public public safety. Is was pretty It's hard
to it's hard to see them, you know, in the
(26:34):
times that we've been allowed into campus, they're just not present.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
I don't know if you'd know.
Speaker 2 (26:40):
The answer to this, but I understand right now the
protocol is that if the since the university is privately owned,
it's private property, that the police aren't going to come
in unless asked. Is there some kind of yeah, okay,
but is there some situation where the police would be
compelled if someone's life is in danger, if somebody set
(27:02):
the building on fire, I.
Speaker 8 (27:03):
Mean, in that case, good question. I spoke with one
student who was in this scrum last night and he
said his friends called the police and said you must
get in here now, and they did not come. So
it's a confusing situation. I've talked to many of the
(27:24):
police officers. I know that they're chomping at the bit
to get in and help. And so it's it's not
coming from.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
The police, but it's somebody from sis.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
What I understand if somebody called from inside my house
and said we've got we've got a gunman in here
and we're being threatened, the police would show up and
try to break into the house.
Speaker 8 (27:43):
I think that's right. Yeah, Wow, it's excusing scenario. I
don't have an answer for you on this one.
Speaker 1 (27:51):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (27:52):
All right, Rich mceue, excellent, thank you very much for
describing what's been going on. And he's with a NewsNation
you can see News Nation is a real good cable
news channel. He's a national correspondent. And then they're gonna
get what they deserve there. I mean the rest of
the students who are saying are not getting what they deserve.
(28:16):
But the faculty is in on it. The administrators won't
stop it though, if something really horrible happens.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
They asked for it.
Speaker 2 (28:22):
This is what it's set up for, because the terrorists
inside the administration building aren't going to give up.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
And please send them food. They're hungry. You know, you've
burnt a lot of calories terrorizing.
Speaker 7 (28:37):
You're listening to John Cobelt on demand from KFI AM
six forty.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
We're gonna have Royal Oaks coming up from ABC News
in just a few minutes. Would you believe that Donald
Trump was sanctioned by the judge in this ridiculous case.
He violated the judges gag order and now he's being
fined nine thousand dollars. Trump is going to be asking
(29:02):
to be fed, just like the Columbia protesters. Nine thousand dollars. Wow,
that is cruel and unusual punishment inhumanity of it all. Oh,
we got to play this now because this just came
across not too long ago. You heard us talking with
Dave McHugh. Wait did I get his name right? Uh?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
What?
Speaker 2 (29:29):
Rich mque excuse me? Rich mceue from News Nation. He's
their national correspondent at Columbia and he just went through
how the middle of the night, these terrorists busted into
the administrative building at Columbia, took janitor's hostage for a while,
and now they're still at the top floor and nobody
(29:50):
knows what to do. Well, no, everybody knows what to do.
They don't want to do it. Now they're asking for food.
They're hungry, and somebody was filling a milk crate if
we presume it's food, and they had a pulley system
and they were pulling the milk crate up to the
top floor there so the terrorists could eat. In this clip,
(30:13):
there's a reporter questioning and anti Israeli Columbia student and
the student is demanding that the university feed the protesters.
Speaker 8 (30:23):
Listen to this, Why should the university be obligated to
provide food to people who've taken over a building.
Speaker 9 (30:32):
Well, first of all, we're saying that they're obligated to
provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.
Speaker 6 (30:37):
But you mentioned that there was a question that food
and water to be brought.
Speaker 9 (30:40):
In unless they listen to allow it to be brought in.
I mean, well, I guess it's ultimately a question of
what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has
to its students. Do you want students to die of
dehydration and starvation or get severely ill even if they
disagree with you. If the answer is no, then you
should allow basic I mean it's crazy to say because
(31:00):
we're on an Ivy League campus, but this is like
basic humanitarian aid we're asking for, Like could people please to.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Have a glass of water? But they stop? Stop stop
say or you could go home.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
You could end your violent protest the felonies that you've
committed busting into the building, holding the janitor's hostage. You
could act like a sane person and go home and
see what's in your refrigerator.
Speaker 1 (31:25):
That's option B continue with this.
Speaker 7 (31:27):
But they they didn't put themselves in that very deliberately,
in that situation and in that position. So it seems
like you're sort of saying, we want to be revolutionary,
so we want to take up this building.
Speaker 6 (31:40):
Now, would you please bring us some food and water?
Speaker 9 (31:42):
Nobody's asking them to bring anything everything. We're we're asking
them to not violently stop us from bringing in basic
humanitarian aid.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
There stopping a delivery of food.
Speaker 9 (31:52):
We are looking for a commitment from them that they
will not stop it.
Speaker 1 (31:55):
By having stopped it.
Speaker 9 (31:58):
Well, I don't, I'm not. I don't know to what
extent it has been attempted, But we're looking.
Speaker 2 (32:03):
For she's made up a charge, she's actually made something
up and then demanded that her made up charge be addressed.
Speaker 1 (32:11):
I like how she said that she needed humanitarian aid,
Like she's some starving child and she's a student at
Columbia Columbia University.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
She's starving ninety thousand dollars a year, which includes food. Well,
I go, they shut down the campus. I guess they
shut down the They shut down the cafeteria's there, they
shut down the vending machines.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Oh my god. They're truly insane, completely delusional.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
You know what it's it's kind of sad listening to
these reporters or whoever they are trying to talk to
these people.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
You can't you can't talk.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
Go go to an insane asylum. Go to like calling
a statemental hospital. Go try to talk to the people
who are behind those big, heavy green doors in padded
rooms who are screaming all night. Talk calmly to them,
try to be rational. Or go talk to some of
(33:16):
the animals in the zoo and tell them to stop
screaming and thrashing about at night.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (33:23):
All right, when we come back, we're gonna talk to
Royal Oaks. Another circus. Everything's a circus. So Donald Trump's
going through this trial about writing a check to cover
up his affair with the porn star, and the judge
(33:43):
ruled that Trump will not shut up. He keeps violating
the gag order, and now he's going to be fined
nine thousand dollars. We'll talk to Royal Oaks. ABC News
Legal Corresponding coming up next eight.
