All hell broke loose at UCLA during the anti - Israel protests. Since the cops weren't showing up, a group of vigilantes decided to take matters into their own hands. While the guys were relatively reserved on this topic, new A&G Show cast member Fuzzy Bear had a lot to say.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
No cops for almost three hours, three hours of a
fight at UCLA and no cops.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 1 (00:16):
Complete chaos, lawlessness, Live from Studio C UCLA Senior, a
dimly lit room deep within the bowels of the Armstrong
and Getty Communications compound.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hey, y'all, midweek Wednesday.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
We're under the tutelage of our general manager, coach general
managers today Jack law and order.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
It's time for them to return.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
Oh my god, if you have not heard it, people
who ain't putting up with these pro Hamas protests, that
UCLA showed up and said we're gonna take care of
this since nobody else will kill big finish here, here
we go, pow. We're not gonna have neo Marxist hate

(01:05):
groups take over our universities.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
Yeah, haven't it.

Speaker 1 (01:08):
And you had a three hour battle between pro Palestinian protesters,
anti war protesters or pro Hamas protesters, depending on who
you ask, and a bunch of people who say, yeah,
Jews are gonna go to class on this campus. And
there were bats and fireworks and sticks and and all
kinds of some metal bars.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I mean, it was quite to me life. And it
went on for almost.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Three hours with not a single cop in sight. A
couple of cops were sighted at one point they turned
around and left when they thought what's going on?

Speaker 2 (01:39):
And they left.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
And it's getting so little coverage. I feel like I'm
going crazy. I feel like I'm going crazy. So I'm
watching Fox News. I wish I hadn't gone to Betterly
last night. So this erupted on Fox News at eleven
o'clock live on the West Coast, and they covered it
until early in the morning. The whole three hours they
were there with camera, so they got a lot of
footage and talking to people and that sort of stuff.

(02:03):
Other channels, it's either nonexistent or a half sentence. Also
a violent protests in Ucla and other news Trump.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump. Yeah, just
no coverage. I turned on NPR driving to work, like
one sentence and this is on the West Coast.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
M h. I just i feel like I'm going crazy now.
Part of that's just the weird East Coast New York bias.
So it's whatever happened at Columbia way more important than
anything that happens at UCLA.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
But you're telling me it's.

Speaker 1 (02:34):
Not a major story that pro Jewish groups showed up
with bats and said we ain't having this.

Speaker 2 (02:40):
That's a big deal now.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
I would never encourage that sort of violence, the bats,
the poles, the fireworks shot at the pro Hamas crowd.
On the other hand, I'm a gifted puppeteer and I
wanted to introduce you to my puppet, Fuzzy Bear.

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Fuzzy, what do you think. I'm glad they whooped Therass.
I wish they whooped Morass said they beat him down
and took away their camp. I hope that spreads all
across the country.

Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh, Fuzzy, turn off his mike. We shouldn't have Fuzzy
saying things like that. Wow, Fuzzy's some sort of right winger.
I never knew that about you, Fuzzy.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
Oh woo beer ass too.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Boy, Oh boy, I'm sure glad you, Joe Getti, didn't
say that, because it sound like you were in favor
of vigilanti justice to take care of these pro terrorist thugs,
and luckily it was your puppet. Who really really is
going to get a talking to after the show today.
Oh yeah, I've already scheduled a meeting.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I'll be there.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Well, we talked about this yesterday you had video footage
proof of the fact that UCLA had people saying are
you a Jew? Well, then you're not going to class.
And where is the governor? Where are the cops? Where's
the FBI civil rights investigation? Like if somebody got misgendered
or not allowed into the right bathroom or something like that.

(04:00):
Where's the freaking governor on this story? I mean, that's unbelievable.
And he got a three hour battle on campus and
no cops.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
What the hell?

Speaker 1 (04:11):
The only thing I could think about, if I was
gonna be charitable, i'man I guarantee this is not what happened.
If I was gonna be super charitable, bebe the cops
are like, yeah, let's just see how this turns out
for a while, and they let the thugs with the
bats show up and do their thing for three hours
before they found their way over there.

Speaker 2 (04:27):
But I don't think that's probably what happened.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
I wonder if they had plain close guys unseen the radio.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
So far, so good, Oh dere as bad as that
puppet Michael.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
I know metal guy has to warm up his voice
in the morning, but is California not crumbling?

Speaker 2 (04:46):
Is that his take on things come on now. I
just yeah, I don't even know where to begin.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
We could start with the utter, just one hundred percent
proof dishonesty of the left, all of their howl about
principles and this is hurtful and the yearb a fascist
and you're gonna end democratic that all of that is lies,
all of it. All they want is power. That That

(05:13):
is what you just said. The most interesting thing. That's
exactly what I was thinking about. I was driving work today.
All that stuff for the past decade or five years
or harbalon has been going on was crap. It was
all crap. I thought maybe it was real, it was crazy,
but it was real. It turns out it was just crap.

Speaker 2 (05:33):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
All of the outrage over Charlottesville from the left, Oh,
they're sitting on their hands now. NPR doesn't notice what's
going on. I I didn't see anything. Can you imagine
dishonesty of that sort on that scale. It's sickening to
think that human beings can that be that dishonest? All
of that microaggression stuff we've been hearing for years and mocking,
you know, and changing words so you don't say, you know,

(05:57):
manhood because that's offensive to people, so makes you say personhood.
You know, just all these different weird things that we've
been mocking was all crap.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
I it was all a weapon.

Speaker 1 (06:06):
They're perfectly fine with flat out violent violence like people
being hurt or killed or asking for people to be
perfectly fine with that as long as it's the right
side of the argument as far as it's concerned. Yeah,
they are a person who will wade in and throw
punch after punch, hitting people in the face. Then the

(06:27):
minute anybody lifts a finger against them, they start screaming violence, violence.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
This is unfair, this is unfair. That's it's all crap.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
How do you explain the lack of coverage of what
happened at UCLA last night. I feel like that's a
major moment in our country's history that the other side
has decided, you know what, nobody's doing anything about this,
We're gonna do it. So who were these people that
showed up? I imagine we'll learn more about that throughout
the day. So there was there was one kid that
was in the middle of the uh three hour melee

(07:00):
I saw in Fox and Friends this morning, and he said,
these weren't college students.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
These guys were like thirty.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
These guys were like thirty years old, So I don't
know who they were or what they were up to,
but they they had had enough. Yeah, I suspect this
is exactly what I predicted. What was it a week
ago or something like that, that we would see a
return of the we're not having this.

Speaker 2 (07:24):
On the right crowd.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
The you call it vigilantes if you want counter protesters
without you know, bizarrow ideas about you know, race and
the election or whatever. Just people who value law and
order and recognize anti semitism when they see it and
are not going to let the little Marxists get away
with it. And it's inevitable. I mean, it's not like,

(07:47):
oh Joe, now joke, he's encouraging vigilantism. No, it's it's
a question of societal mathematics.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
But one your puppet sounded like he was, maybe I'll
get my puppet back out again. Tell you what you
can take the heat, get the f out of the kitchen.

Speaker 1 (08:02):
Oh fuzzy, wow, that puffet is out of control. But
what I think he's trying to say is it's it's
societal mathematics. The one flows from the other. You can't
have Marxist a whole violent anti semites that out of

(08:22):
nineteen thirty six Germany, and it'll be a different issue tomorrow,
that they'll be, you know, burning down buildings and smashing
glass and killing people.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
Maybe it will be Black Lives matter again. Who knows.
The normal people.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Of the society who aren't Marxists are gonna say we're
not having it.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
At some point in various forms.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
The university Chancellor UCLA has condemned horrific acts of violence.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
The big question should be, how.

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Does it go on for three hours before there are
any cops there?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
What is that?

Speaker 1 (08:58):
There? You go, metal guy getting more specific than yeah,
it's it's it's just dysfunction thirty minutes, forty five minutes.
Maybe the conversation is about reaction time. Three hours is
a choice to let it go? Is what the conversation is.
I don't know an alternative explanation that makes any sense.

Speaker 2 (09:20):
That is crazy.

Speaker 1 (09:22):
We didn't hear about it. Nobody said anything. We're all
asleep at eleven o'clock at night in Los Angeles. I
don't know. I'm groping here. How long would it have
taken the cops to show up? If some transgender person
was being abused and was called in. Yeah, I don't know.
I would like to know more about it. And certainly,

(09:42):
if you're a cop you deal with this sort of
thing in LA cop especially your Sheriff's department email US
mail bag at Armstrong and Getty dot com, you will
of course be anonymous.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I wonder if there were well I wonder.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
If there are tactical concerns that all right, nobody's getting
killed at this point. It's just you know, a little
back and forth, a little head pappen now and again,
you know, get the steam out.

Speaker 2 (10:04):
This is the year twenty twenty four. When is this okay?

Speaker 1 (10:07):
Where you have giant groups of people beating each other
with bats and shooting off fireworks and the cops say, oh,
let's just see how it turns out. I've never heard
of this before. You've introduced a new thing. Well, I
agree completely. So you're saying the only possible explanation is
is what a political decision to not get involved for
some reason?

Speaker 2 (10:26):
And I don't know what it would be.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well, it could be the sort of cowardice that characterizes
California institutions, where the presidents of the universities refuse to
be mean. I don't want anybody to see me doing
anything mean. We can't enforce the rules. We can't enforce laws.
We can't even give kids bees if they don't do
the work.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
We've got to give a maze. This is complete spinelessness. God,
it's pathetic.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
We've got more on this than some of the hilarious
quotes not supposed to be hilarious from various people like
Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles. We'll get to
that a little bit later, but we got to start
the show officially. I'm Jack Armstrong, He's Joe Getty on this.
It is Wednesday. Wait, new month, prints new May first,
the year twenty twenty four. We are Armstrong and Getty.
Life will not be a born twenty four. We approve

(11:14):
of this program. Oh this is exciting. It's just been
announced that the Puffet has its own show. Oh really,
I mean Middays right after ours. Yeah, all right, let's
begin officially now. According to FCC rules and regulations, leaping
into action at Mark.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Protesters and kind protesters went at each other with huge
wooden poles. They went at each other with pepper spray.
They went at each other with firecrackers, tossing them into crowds,
literally right in the middle of groups of people gathered.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
That's not something police don't respond to unless it's a decision.
You know. I realize they're not grenades, but people are
throwing explosives at each other and beating each other with
giant wooden bulls, which all of them. Okay, Michael, I
was with a puppet. Okay, I was waiting for that one.
That is the greatest thing ever, Michael National Treasure. Michael Angelo,

(12:10):
how does kind of worried about my job that the
puppet's going to get our job and then we're going
to be on the break.

Speaker 2 (12:15):
The puppet is hot, he's got he's got buzz, he's
got raz Armstrong and Getty.
