Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good morning, Cooner. Contrary. Okay, my friends, Ahai yai yai.
A lot of news over the weekend, and we're going
to cover all of it, I promise. But this story,
now that is closest to us here in the United States,
obviously in New England, but really it's a massive national story,

(00:23):
is the mass shooting that took place Saturday at about
four to twenty pm at Brown University in Rhode Island,
in Providence, Rhode Island. Full disclosure, I live about maybe
twenty minutes away from Providence, so this has affected me
and my family in a stronger way than many other stories.

(00:47):
We go to Providence quite often. There's some excellent pizza there.
The kids love. There's some great pizzerias in Providence, and
we do a little bit of shopping there, and we
even have some friends in the Providence area. So this
has shocked us, as it shocked many people in Rhode
Island and across Massachusetts and really across New England and

(01:08):
the country. At four twenty pm on Saturday, Brown University,
which is an Ivy League institution, they were now going
through the final rounds of exams, final exams and the
last few remaining classes of the year. An individual dressed

(01:32):
completely in black, wearing a black mask, came in through
the engineering building and then began to empty his gun
into a crowd of students who were studying for an
economics final exam. It was a study review session that

(01:59):
the teaching assistant was leading. It, not the professor. And
I'm going to get to the professor in his second
because the professor plays a key role in potentially unraveling
what happened. The teaching assistant was there answering questions. Out
of the blue, this madman came in and shot up

(02:20):
the auditorium the classroom. Two are dead, nine wounded, one
in very critical condition. Now, first question, why was the
building completely open and unlocked? Usually you need a pass

(02:44):
or a card or whatever to access buildings, a student card,
an administration card, whatever. No, the door was completely unlocked.
This madman was just able to literally open the door,
walk in freely, and boom boom, boom, boom boom. That's
question number one. Question number two. The perpetrator escaped almost

(03:08):
immediately he came in, and he's described as a man
in his twenties or early thirties, that's what they said.
He's a man dressed completely in black who shouted something
as he started to shoot inside the classroom, and I'm
going to get to that as well in a second.

(03:31):
He then escaped. Now the video footage cameras, the surveillance
cameras caught him as he escaped on the Hope Street,
which is a big part of Brown University, on the sidewalk,
so they caught him leaving the building. Now, they apparently

(03:54):
arrested what they called a person of interest at about
three forty five in the morning, early very early Sunday
morning in Coventry, Rhode Island, at a Hampton Inn. The
alleged person of interest was an individual named Benjamin Ericksson,

(04:15):
twenty four years old from Wisconsin. According to police, they
believed they had their men. They said that he drove
all the way from Wisconsin, which is over one thousand
miles to perpetrate this crime. They said, we don't know
what his motive would have been, but we're working on it.

(04:37):
They said they found two guns in his hotel room.
One of them was a laser guided gun that they
said was almost identical to the gun used at the
shooting in at Brown University. Cash Patel started to do
a victory lap. The mayor, the Moonbach mayor of Providence

(04:59):
started to do it victory lap. Local police that incompetent
police chief started to do a victory lap. Apparently Benjamin
Erickson serve what is it, three years in the military.
He worked at Arlington National Cemetery. He apparently provided security

(05:19):
work and help with burials. But there was something wrong.
Nothing seemed to add up. Everybody who knew him said, no,
he has no mental health issues whatsoever. Why would a
man who's from Wisconsin, apparently living in Washington, d c.
Now want to go all the way to Brown University

(05:42):
and shoot up a school. It makes no sense. Then
there were mixed evidence coming out that some said, well,
he was maybe a student that Brown. Others said he
wasn't a student at Brown. And then they released him.
I'm not kidding. They released him. They released them and

(06:04):
they said, on oops, we got the wrong man. This
wasn't the guy, after telling us he was the guy.
And so now they say they're still looking for the
perpetrator and the criminal. Now a couple of points, Okay,
six one seven two six, six sixty eight sixty eight

(06:25):
is the number number one. They still haven't caught the
perpetrator allegedly of this mass shooting. Why this is the question,
in all seriousness, Why Brown University has an endowment of

(06:47):
over eight billion dollars and growing. It is phenomenally wealthy.
Students pay tuition between seventy to one hundred thousand dollars
a year, and yet they're telling us that they don't
have any surveillance camera, video footage from inside that engineering building,

(07:13):
no surveillance footage of the hallway, no surveillance footage of
the classroom, no surveillance footage of anything this perpetrator did
once he entered that engineering building. Now, just stand back
for a second. You're one of the wealthiest institutions and

(07:33):
universities in America, and you don't have surveillance cameras or suddenly,
conveniently what they're all not working. I don't believe it.
I don't believe it. I don't believe it. They're hiding something.

(07:54):
To me, it's clear they're hiding something. Now this leads
me to my second point. Multiple witnesses now, and I
said this on X last night. Multiple witnesses now. The
local Providence media, which is just as bad as the
local Boston media, They're as leftist, as pro Democrat, as woke,

(08:18):
as corrupt as the media in Boston. They are shills
for the Democratic Party. They are not on as journalists.
They have not reported this. The national media has to
their credit. Witnesses in the classroom say that they heard

(08:38):
the shooter yell allah who akbar? Allah who akbar before
the shooting began. And so the question now is is
the media is Brown University. Are they now engaging in

(09:02):
a cover up because they don't like the narrative that
this shooting potentially will tell that this was potentially an
Islamic terrorist attack. And I go back now to the professor.
The professor is Jewish. In fact, she has taught at

(09:26):
the Hebrew University in Israel for four years. She runs
the Judaic studies program at Brown University. So the professor
being Jewish, she was supposed to be at that class.
At the last moment, for whatever reason, the TA said

(09:47):
she couldn't make it. So the TA stepped in and
answered all the questions for this final exam review session.
But the fact of the matter is the teacher is Jewish,
teacher has taught in Israel, the teacher runs the Judaic
studies program. In other words, was this another anti Semitic

(10:11):
terrorist attack, because just a few hours later in Sydney, Australia.
I'm not saying that two are connected, but in Sydney,
Australia and Bondie Beach, famous Bondi Beach, at a celebration
of the first night of Hanukkah, two Islamist madmen, two

(10:36):
Islamic terrorists gunned down and murdered fifteen Jews, including a
rabbi and a twelve year old girl, and injured forty
And I'm gonna get to this later. This was a
modern day program what you saw in Australia six point
twenty now on the Great WRKO, Jeff kooner Eton's bulldozer

(11:01):
six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight
is the number. Okay, you can text the cooner Man
seven zero four seven zero seven zero four seven zero. Uh.
This is from Marianne on a messenger Jeff, I have
a hard time believing that Brown University doesn't have surveillance

(11:23):
cameras all over the place, with kids of the political
elite going there, with kids of the Hollywood elite attending,
I don't believe it. Not to mention. And by the way,
this is so true. Providence has cameras everywhere, on practically
every street, absolutely everywhere. Now we know that Providence, Hell,

(11:50):
the entire state of Rhode Island is nothing but a
cesspool of liberal bs. I'm honestly embarrassed sometimes to say
it's my home state. Well, you're in Florida now, Marianne,
so you're you're safe. But no, Look, I go to
Providence quite often. The camera's everywhere, absolutely everywhere, and Brown

(12:12):
University is the most camera ridden place in the entire state.
So for them to come out and say and that's
why the national media is I mean, dumbstruck, dumbfounded. They're
they're like, what when the police chief said, no, we

(12:33):
have no video surveillance footage of anything that happened inside.
And the media is like, but that's that's almost impossible.
What do you mean you have no footage or oh,
we have no footage, and they're like, what the cameras
aren't working? What there weren't cameras And they're staying mum.
The governor's being silent, the university, the president of Brown
Universities being silent that hack. The local police chief is

(12:56):
being silent. So to me, it's obvious they're covering up something,
they're hiding something because I don't believe it, nobody believes it. Okay,
that's number one. Number two Benjamin Ericsson. Remember Richard Jewele
the nineteen ninety six they accused him of the nineteen
ninety six bombings at the Atlanta Olympics, and it turned

(13:18):
out he was a patsy, and they completely destroyed this
man's life by falsely smearing him and accusing him of
committing those terrorist attacks. This is now pretty much what
they've done now to Benjamin Ericson, they took a guy
who served in the military in the infantry, who apparently

(13:41):
takes online classes at the University of Wisconsin in Madison,
and they tried to claim that this was the guy who,
for whatever reason, because they couldn't give us a motive,
drove over one thousand miles to Providence, Rhode Island, to
target this sacific building, this specific class, this specific students,

(14:05):
these specific students, and for why they don't know, they
don't know, And now they've had to say, admit, we
got the wrong guy. So what is very clear to
me and I thought Sandy has been making a great
point on this all morning. They so don't want it

(14:26):
to be an Islamic terrorist or a trans terrorist, or
a left wing terrorist, or whatever whatever narrative they want
to push. They so don't want it to be that.
They said, Ah, white guy in the military, go get him.
Let's follow that lead. Let's get him. Let's get him. Now,

(14:51):
who's going to give him his reputation back? How is
he going to get his good name back? Because his
name was blessed did all over? Forget the country, the world.
He was the quote suspect, he was the quote person
of interest. He was the one who allegedly did it.

(15:12):
And now oops, were sorry, they're engaging in a cover up.
And why is the local media in Providence in particular,
but frankly the entire liberal media, why aren't they saying
and reporting that witnesses in the classroom and near the

(15:32):
classroom said we heard it distinctly, he shouted Allahu akbar. Now, look,
the guy doesn't have to be a Muslim terrorist to
shout Alahu akbar. He could just be crazy, he could
just be deranged. He could just be a guy who
was really cool. Let me do it. But let's be honest.

(15:54):
If he shouts Alahu Akbar and he dresses like a
Muslim terrorist all in black with a black mask, chances
are it could be an Islamic terrorist. They don't want
that narrative to come out, especially in the wake now

(16:15):
what just happened in Australia. So listen now to this
moonbat Mayor of Providence, I'd be embarrassed to have disguise
my mayor. I'm serious. Roll cut ten, Mike.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
Our investigation into this horrific act remains ongoing. It has
been ongoing, and I know there's been some frustration from
members of the community and others about the language that
we've been using about the person of interest and such,
and that is speaks to directly the fact that this

(16:52):
investigation was and continues ongoing, and we will continue to
endeavor to not confirm any information that is not yet confirm.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Well, that's what you.

Speaker 2 (17:01):
Said, and that is how we can best be transparent
with all the members of our community, to share the
best information that we have.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
Look by the way, I also hate the term person
of interest. It's a vague term, it's a malleable term.
I think ultimately it's it's it's a cop out term
either you have a suspect in custody suspect or you don't.
That's it. That's it. No, in their haste to try

(17:32):
to show this was not an Islamic terrorist attack, okay,
so they're bungling the investigation. There's no question they're covering
up the fact that there's no video surveillance footage, which
asked you know, which begs the question why why listen now?
And these are all Democrats, by the way. The mayor's

(17:54):
a them, the governor's at them, the attorney general is
a dem and it's stupid, stupider and even stupider. Okay,
that's what you're getting now, it's like the Keystone Cops.
So here they roll out this attorney general. So they
got the wrong guy. They had a person of interest,
Benjamin Ericson. Poor guy. Now they've destroyed his life. This

(18:17):
is gonna haunt him now, like Richard Jewel, for the
rest of his life. So they roll out the attorney general.
By the way, the people at Browner livid. The community
in Providence is livid because that means there's still a
mass shooter out there. So again a false sense of security.
They roll him out. Now listen to this. Okay, just

(18:39):
listen to this. Roll cut twelve A A mike.

Speaker 3 (18:45):
Collectively, the team developed leads in a number of areas.
One was chased to ground. It led to the to
the to us detaining a person of interest. So those
were words, and how we choose those words when we're
talking about an investigation matter, And what it means here

(19:06):
is that certainly there was some degree of evidence that
pointed to this individual, but that evidence needed to be
corroborated and confirmed, and over the last twenty four hours
leading into a just very very recently, that evidence now
points in a different direction.

Speaker 1 (19:25):
So shut up, like this is unbelievable. So we had
a guy, we thought it was the guy here, let
me just gill it you and plain english. We had
a guy. We thought he was the guy. We broke
into his hotel. By the way, a swat team after
swap team, after swat team, with CNN on the scene.
This is at three forty five in the morning, Sunday morning.

(19:48):
They tipped off CNN so they could look good for
the cameras. Okay, CNN, and so they haul out and
by the way, let's be honest, he's a white male
military guy, the perfect patsy for this oho transgender yet

(20:09):
Islamic Muslim yet no some crazy leftist no no, no, no, no,
no no no no. So they rolled this guy out
and we got him.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
We got him.

Speaker 1 (20:22):
Press conference after press conference, the evidence came together. I
want to thank Cashptel, the FBI, I want to thank
everybody for their assistance. Now, all of a sudden, you know,
you have a guy you have to corroborate, and then
the evidence just takes you in a completely different direction.
What changed in the last twenty four hours? What new evidence?

(20:44):
There wasn't any You were so desperate, so desperate to
find anybody who's not a Muslim or who's not transgender,
and the first possible lead you had that it could
be a white guy, you all jumped all over it.
And you don't give a damn Now that this poor

(21:06):
man's reputation and probably his life is going to be ruined. Okay,
So anyway, let let that go so now, because remember
we can't just be honest in this country. It's not
enough to say we are sorry. Two students are dead,

(21:29):
nine students are wounded. One may not even make it.
Let's not jump to conclusions let's follow the evidence, followed
the facts, and yes, followed the eye witness testimony. If
you've got multiple people who were there in the room

(21:50):
as the place was being shot up, and nearby in
the adjacent classroom, and they say they heard a lahu akbar,
I think the public deserves to know that. It would
help with the investigation. If he's dressed like a Muslim terrorist,
if he talks like a Muslim terrorist, if he acts

(22:13):
like a Muslim terrorist. Ah, call me crazy. Maybe you
have a Muslim terrorist. I'm not saying he is. I'm
saying the possibility is very real. But they want to
suppress that now right away, the bodies weren't even freaking cold.

(22:39):
You had students that were barricading themselves on lockdown inside
Brown in their dorm rooms, across the entire campus, even
in neighbor in the neighboring communities because they thought the
shooter was still out there at the time. So they're
on lockdown, many of them petrified for their very lives, traumatized.

(23:02):
I mean, this is you, Am I going to be
shot next? Is there somebody roaming the halls? We're going
to shoot me in the head? Or any other student
and then there's Chris Murphy, Democrat senator from Connecticut, runs
runs to this is CNN and guess who he blames

(23:23):
it on. Take a guess who do you think ultimately
bears responsibility for the massacre at Brown? You guessed it
a Trump, Donald Trump, evil orange man, roll cut sixteen
a mike.

Speaker 5 (23:44):
Many of the weapons that are used in our states
for gun crimes come to our states from those states
that have an ability for criminals and people with serious
mental illness to buy weapons. So what we know is
that stronger laws do work. And since we passed that
bill in twenty twenty two, the first bill in thirty
years that strengthens the nation's gun laws, gun violence rates
and machining rates have come down in this country. But

(24:06):
this is not shocking because over the last year President
Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase
violence in this country. He is restoring gun rights to
felons and people who have lost their ability to buy guns.
He eliminated the White House Office of Gun Violence Protection,
and he has stopped funding mental health grants and community

(24:26):
anti gun violence grants that Republicans and Democrats supported in
that twenty twenty two bill. So he has been engaged
in a pretty deliberate campaign to try to make violence
more likely in this country. And I think you're unfortunately
going to see the results of that on the streets
of America.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (24:44):
Sure, of course he want some mass shootings. Yeah, of course. Yeah.
This guy's mentally ill. Well, I'm sir, he's a mentally
ill man. Trump is responsible for what happened at Brown University? Like, dude,
are you are you right in the head? You have
to politicize now the death of two students and nine wounded.

(25:08):
You have to so you have no sense of decency whatsoever?
You piecea you know what you pos By the way,
no state has more stricter gun control laws than Rhode Island.
Much a lot of good it did there? Did you
notice all of Brown University is a gun free zone?

(25:30):
I guess the shooter missed the signs that said gun
free zone. And by the way, where are the police,
I'm talking to campus police. Where are they? Notice how
many times in these shootings the police And I'm not
blaming the police because they have to react. But the
liberals keep going on about see then they like the

(25:52):
police when it comes to taking away people's guns. Then
while the police should handle this well, first of all,
you want to defund them, and you say they're irredeemably racist,
So can I get it straight from you once and
for all? Are you want them defunded? Are they racist?
Or are they heroes and people that are pillars of

(26:14):
the community and pillars of public safety? Which is it?
Take a pick, But it's always too late. It's always
too late. Now they went from blaming Trump, which is
so stupid it's not even funny, to now the guns.

(26:35):
They always want to grab, the guns. They always it's
always the guns, the guns, the guns. Like a bunch
of rabbit dogs. The guns, the guns, the guns, the guns,
the guns. This is USC women's basketball coach. She's holding
a press conference, Lindsey Gottlieb. Mike, do we have time

(26:56):
to play the cut?

Speaker 4 (27:00):
Mike?

Speaker 1 (27:02):
Do we have time to play the cut?

Speaker 4 (27:04):
Okay?

Speaker 1 (27:04):
So anyway, what now she's supposed to be talking about basketball,
but none, no, no, no, Like every crazy moon bat gun
control in the wake of the shooting at Brown, it's
the guns, grab the guns. We don't know the motive.

(27:26):
We don't even have the identity of the shooter. Okay,
A couple lines are open if you want to jump on.
Let me just play one more clip and then I
want to go to the blazing phone lines. So this
is Lindsay Gottlieb. She is the coach of the University
of Southern California's women's basketball team. She's at a press

(27:48):
conference and like every moon bat, I mean, it's just
we don't we don't even have the killer yet. We
haven't even captured the mass shooter yet. And Allay Brown
University blame the guns. Roll cut seventeen, Ah, Mike.

Speaker 6 (28:09):
Before we start. You know, I came out from the
game and had a million text messages about a mass
shooting at MI alma mater, Brown.

Speaker 4 (28:19):
So that's hard.

Speaker 6 (28:21):
Doesn't need to be this way, you know, sending thoughts
in prayers to my teammates who have kids there, to
the parents who.

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Have to worry about their children.

Speaker 6 (28:28):
I'm just gonna end it with that, but just to say,
we're the only country that lives this way. The college
football cycle has been in the news a million times,
and wherever we're gonna report about this, like it's the guns,
We're the only country that lives this way. Parents should
not be have to worry.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
About their kids.

Speaker 6 (28:43):
I have a teammate who has a daughter who is
in the basement of a library because they don't know
what's going on there, and she's flying there tomorrow. So
I just wanted to start with axuse I would be
remiss if I didn't mention that that that's going on
and hopefully everyone you know is safe and praying for.

Speaker 1 (29:01):
Peace for those who've lost people.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
And that's that.

Speaker 6 (29:04):
It's more important than basketball.

Speaker 1 (29:06):
Politicize the dead.

Speaker 6 (29:07):
We can all be better, right with that.

Speaker 1 (29:09):
Yeah, politicize the dead. The bodies aren't even cold. The
students are still hiding in lockdown. She didn't even know
at this time whether the shooter was still active on campus.
But no, no, the guns, it's the guns. It's the guns.
You gotta grab the guns. It's the guns now to
show And she's a woke idiot. Literally have you not
heard of what happened in Australia. Literally, I'm sorry, littera Lee,

(29:37):
the country with the strictest gun control laws in the world,
in the world. They started, they confiscated most of the
guns thirty years ago and they continue to regulate, confiscate control, regulate,

(29:57):
confiscate control, it's all most impossible to get a gun
in Australia. And guess what, within two hours of her
stupid press conference, two not one, two a father and son,
two Muslim Islamo terrorists in Sydney, Australia, at one of

(30:22):
the most gorgeous, beautiful, best known beaches in the world,
Bondie Beach, One from a pedestrian bridge, the other on
the ground, attacked a Jewish community a Jewish gathering they
were celebrating the first night of Hanukah. There were about

(30:43):
one thousand Australian Jews at that park and armed with
rifles and shotguns, and everybody on the beach defenseless. Everybody
at the park defenseless because they weren't allowed to own gun.
You see, the citizens were disarmed. The terrorists always manage

(31:06):
to get their hands on weapons. Always. It doesn't matter
if it's a truck, it doesn't matter, if it's knives,
it doesn't matter, if it's guns, it doesn't matter if
it's improvised explosive devices. They will find a way to
get weapons. A pressure cooker bomb, as we saw at
the Boston Marathon, it doesn't matter. Hijacking planes as we

(31:29):
saw on nine to eleven, and so these poor innocent
Jews were like sitting ducks and from a pedestrian bridge,
just shot after shot after shot after shot after shock.

(31:49):
And by the way, everybody in Australia now is criticizing
and condemning the pathetic, late, weak police response for ten
harrowing minutes the police were nowhere. You know what ten
minutes is when you've got two people with guns and

(32:11):
you're completely defenseless. Fifteen dead bodies, fifteen Jews dead, forty injured.
They say a couple will not make it. The death
doll keeps getting higher and higher. A four year old
girl was wounded. She's lucky to be alive. A twelve

(32:31):
year old girl was shot, her head was shot off.
And you stand there with your multimillion dollar contract and
you're the coach of a women's basketball team. You ignore
amus and you're like, it's the guns. It's the guns.
This doesn't happen anywhere else. Would it kill you to

(32:52):
read a freaking newspaper In Britain, they're dropping like flies,
you know what. They're killing people with knives. Norway, eighty
five people were slaughtered in one of the biggest terrorist
attacks in European history. Norway has some of the strictest
gun control laws in the history of the world. When

(33:17):
you implement gun control, you know what, you guarantee that
the murderers and the criminals and the terrorists will have guns,
and the innocent, law abiding citizens like those in Sydney,
Australia will be or in Brown University will be completely defenseless. Stupid,

(33:41):
just another I'm sorry. After a while, you can't take
this anymore. And it's like, could you expand your horizons
just a little bit? Now, let me say one last thing,
and then I want to go to the phone lines.

(34:01):
And I'm not the only one to have noticed this,
but I have to say it. What is to me
incredible and please don't get me wrong. As you can tell,
I am extremely outraged at what happened in Australia. This
is another program, another program like October seventh was a
Hamas program. This was another Islamic terrorist program, except it's

(34:25):
done in Australia. The Jews are under attack. There is
not an inch in Western civilization anymore where they are safe.
They're not safe anywhere in Europe they're not safe. In
the United States, they're not safe in Canada, they're not safe.
In Australia, they're not safe anywhere because of this rising

(34:49):
barbaric anti Semitism that you can feel it and see
it every day, overwhelmingly from the left. Why do we
know and why is the media telling us a lot
more about what happened at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia

(35:12):
then what's happening in our own country again. Don't get
me wrong, I am livid, outraged, disgusted. I want to
throw up over what happened in Australia. My heart breaks
for that poor Jewish community, it really does. But you know,
how come I know almost everything what happened in Australia.

(35:35):
I can give you the names of the father and
the son who perpetrated this. I can tell you everything.
Brown University twenty minutes from where I live, My children,
my wife and I go to Providence all the time,
and I haven't sorry. An idiot police chief, an idiot mayor,

(35:59):
an idiot attorney general, an idiot governor, and they're like,
they're like the Keystone cops. We don't know. We just
don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Okay, Well,
where's the video surveillance footage. I don't know. I don't know.
There is no four footage. How could there be no footage?
Kid's Brown. There's cameras everywhere. I don't know, there's no footage.

(36:20):
I don't know. Oh, we got the white guy, We
got the white guy. We got to know. You know,
sometimes you go and arrest one guy, then you realize, oops,
we screwed up his life. Well let's go on a
completely opposite direction. Oh why do we know so much
more about what happened in Australia than we know in

(36:40):
our own country? And I think the answer is obvious,
because they're trying to protect a narrative, because according to
the Democrats in this country and the liberal elites and
the media, there is no such thing as Islamic terrorism,

(37:03):
and there is no such thing as transgender terrorism. No,
it's always it's Maga, it's Trump, it's gotta be some
white guy. And if it's not a white guy, then
we just suppress it and move on. Those dead children

(37:23):
and their children, I don't care what anybody says, they're
still kids, those dead wounded kids at Brown, they're grieving families.
Deserve better. We deserve better. We deserve answers, and we
deserve the truth, no matter where it leads. Agree, disagree.

(37:50):
Six one seven two six six sixty eight sixty eight. Okay,
let's unleash the hounds, as they say, best audience in
the business. I want, I want to ask you two questions.
Number one, what do you think really happened at Brown University?

(38:10):
In other words, who do you think was truly responsible
for what happened on Saturday? Was this potentially an Islamic
terrorist attack, with witnesses saying the shooter yelled out alahu
Akabar before he began to gun down and open fire
on those students. And number two, why are they telling

(38:35):
us there is no video surveillance footage? Is the media
and is Brown itself now complicit and engaging in a
cover up? Six one seven two six six sixty eight
sixty eight. Arthur in Chestnut Hill. You're going to start
us off, Arthur, and welcome.

Speaker 4 (38:59):
But I think because I got a lot of things to
say about what's going on here, to begin with, I'd
like to know what the flavor of the chewing gum
was that idiot Mayer was kept chewing at his first
useless pest conference, and that governor I looked like you
had makeup on. And he gave the same thirty to
thirty second message every time he was brought on. Told

(39:21):
you nothing, And I'll show you what leadership is in
a case like this. If I were okay in charge,
you asked me once before, what would I do? Number one,
there would have been roadblocks put up. There would have
been police all around the area, blocking off an area,
but you know, to keep either person in. And yet

(39:43):
none of it. They didn't. None of these things were
talked about or did they happen. And I don't know
if any campus police or campus security that doesn't have
their cameras everywhere or their presence anywhere. Also, Jeff, the
response time, they didn't want to answer that question. You

(40:04):
think the response time was bad in UH in Australia,
it has to be worse in Providence. And second of all, UH,
most people aren't familiar with Brown, but I've been there.
They call that College Hill. It's like it's like Emerson
or Suffolk Downtown in Boston. It's part of it's part

(40:24):
of a commercial area. When you saw the streets, it
looks like you've been a residential area it's not like
a regular campus like Harvard. Okay. So the fact is
that the Providence Police Department could have been far away
and and where where were they? Where where were they?

(40:45):
There was nothing that was done. Okay, they weren't roadblock
state police. Uh And once this was done National Guide
they had to call the police departments eight nine different
communities and and all of the fire departments. There's something
I'm very crazy, but this whole thing, it's it's it's
a way whacked out. And that's just you know what

(41:08):
I wanted to say about Brown, but disattack in Australia, Arthur.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
I promise I'll let you go on about Australia, but
just I just want to underscore what you're saying, because
just so right, I've been on College Hill. It's a
beautiful place. I even took my oh man, this was
maybe two and a half months ago. I took my
older sister in law, Grace's older sister, because her daughter
is thinking of doing a graduate degree at Brown, my niece,

(41:33):
so I literally took him to Brown University. They loved it,
by the way we walked around, you know, we parked,
we walked around, even grabbed some pizza. I said, the
local pizza here is phenomenal. A lot of Italians, a
lot of Italian Americans in Providence. So we were walking,
and you're right, it's a you know, it's a commercial area.
It's a beautiful area. The one thing she commented, I commented,

(41:54):
we all commented, not in a critical way, just as
as a statement of fact. Everywhere you go, Arthur, every
five feet there's a camera. You can't walk more than
five feet. Oh there's a camera. Oh there's another camera.
There's another camera, there's another camera. So for them to
now tell us there's no video surveillance footage of anything

(42:16):
that happened inside that engineering building, I don't believe them.
It's impossible because you're a thousand percent correct, Arthur. The
place is, it's highly developed, it's commercial, it's also a
bit residential. It's god brown. There's a lot of businesses
there as well. It's a high traffic area. Cameras go

(42:39):
loore go lore. So you're right, something is whacked out.
As you put it. It doesn't pass the smell test.
We're being lied to. My question to you, Arthur, and
I promise I'll let you go on about Australia. Why
do you think they're lying to us? I know I'm
asking you to speculate, but what's your theory. Why are

(43:00):
we being deliberately misled obviously misled? Is it incompetence or
are they trying to cover up something?

Speaker 4 (43:12):
Uh? You go to any campus security Okay, they have
they have video cameras, and they have people monitoring all
different parts of the campus. There's no security office that
doesn't have their cameras. And and and yet to the
uh the campus security officer, and he looked angry and

(43:34):
mad as hell the whole time. He's the only one
that showed the proper emotion. Uh. But he didn't speak
that much. Uh. But the campus security cameras, that's where
you should get a lot of report. But the response time,
it's embarrassing the fact that the guy can just walk in, uh,

(43:55):
just walk out, nonchalant and uh and and nobody nobody
has a clue. It's it was, It's so horrible. And
you know that the Jewish students were having a service,
a Hillale service, because they had one of the Jewish
kids was on Fox News and uh, and he pointed

(44:16):
out some things because one of the he said one
of the girls that uh, well that was shot dead
was a very close friend, and then he got very emotional.
Uh and it could you know something very simply, Any
act like that is an is a terrorist attack. Whether
it's a.

Speaker 7 (44:34):
Uh ajeehetic attack, it doesn't matter. Any act like that
Masma is a terrorist attack, and we should and we
should change our laws. Terrorism isn't a client. It's an
act of war and should be dealt with five more severely.
And anybody involved with an act like that don't deserve
any American rights at all. It's an act of war.

(44:58):
And we had to get our you know, head out
of our ass and start treating these people and doing
something about the possibility of this print because you know,
I've said to you before, just when you think things
can't can't get any any worse, they get worse.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
And of course, please let me talk about.

Speaker 1 (45:14):
Us in Australia. I was going to say, go ahead,
I mean, it can always get worse. Exhibit a Australia.
Arthur as a person of the Jewish faith, as someone
who's a Jew, I got to ask you, are we
living now through the barbarism of the nineteen thirties? Is
that what we're starting to see, go, my friend.

Speaker 4 (45:34):
Anti Semitism has been has existed since since you know,
since way back when. Okay, and I'll tell you something,
because of the because of the ride, because of Obama
and his Arab spring, and he at leashed all those
anti Semitic and all those Atchi artist and they became

(45:57):
refugees and when all over Europe and they came to America. Uh,
we've America and the way we're handling anti Semitism is
an example as the why it's grown everywhere in the
world because we're tolerating it. Now we've abandoned the Jewish
people who have contributed so much to America that it's
not even funny. Everywhere you turn, everything about what the

(46:21):
Jewish people have is positive, whether it's a culture, medicine,
everywhere everything you can look at. And I'll tell and
I'll tell the people of Chesnut Hill. They don't come
for Jews in u in South Boston by just that
hill neighbors. They come for you where you are, and
you better get and you better start to learn about
upping your security because what happened in Australia, there's soft

(46:45):
targets and once again in order to stop a terrorist attack. Uh,
it takes a good It takes a good man with
a gun. And these people that want to abandon guns,
it's not guns that shoot themselves.

Speaker 1 (47:02):
Arthur, God bless you, my friend. Happy Honicah and have
a have a anyway, I'm gonna be I'm gonna be
off after Friday. So have a very happy Honicah, and
stay strong, my friend, and please stay safe. Look, I'm
saying this now to every Jewish person in America and

(47:22):
frankly in Canada, Europe, Australia. I don't care where. You
have to now be able to defend yourself. You have to.
I'm going to get into it. There were a lot
more anti Semitic incidents in Europe over the weekend. It
is an explosion in anti Semitism now, to the point
that even Trump for the first time ever, when he

(47:45):
talked about Brown and what happened to our troops in
Syria and what happened in Europe and what happened in Australia,
you can see that the fatigue, the exhaustion on him.
It's just it's a scourge, and it just rising and
rising and rising and rising. And my advice to every

(48:06):
Jewish person. I mean to every person in general, but
especially to every Jewish person. Now be armed, be able
to protect yourself, make sure you're aware of your surroundings
at all times, because this is not going to stop.
And I'm telling you, I blame the media. I blame

(48:28):
the universities, I blame the Democrats, I blame the left.
This explosion in the hatred for Israel, in this israel
phobia and the hatred of the Jewish nation and the
Jewish people has now fed into this hate filled anti

(48:49):
Semitism that is poisoning people's minds all over the West.
And you can feel it now. There is real hatred,
rid for the juice. And my fear is Australia is
just the beginning. Brown may be just the beginning.
