Scott Vordiez. Shane emails Scott atkfabdot com, an early entrant into the
Zonkers Custom Woods Inbox today and says, hey, I moved to Atlanta three
years ago and just this morning realizedI could stream your show. I'm so
stoked. I missed Lucy and Sadlemeyer, but I forgot how awful Jim Rose
(00:22):
is. That's from Shane. Well, for whatever reason you're listening, we
are so glad you're here. Andlook, you get to hot Lanta and
you sometimes forget about everything else.And Lanta is, as I understand it,
heck of a town. And theygot a great radio station down there
WSB. But anytime you want tocheck in back home, we're right here
(00:44):
on our free iHeartRadio app. Shane, glad to have you with us.
But the fact that I know thatthere's one guy listening who hasn't listened in
a while and tuned in specifically tothis show this morning hoping to connect with
home puts a lot of pressure onme that I don't need. But Shane,
I'm so glad you're listening. Whyshould you get away with no pressure?
(01:07):
I all the rest of us haveit. I have some pressures.
They're almost exclusively and ridiculously self imposed. The as Gary Sadelemeyer once said,
the human mind is a strange andterrible place. So what's the latest here
(01:27):
from the college campuses. We hadflash bang grenades go off at UCLA overnight
as police began a second day ofbreaking up an anti Israeli protest, an
encampment on the campus. Now,let's see here. If I go to
(01:49):
Let's say I go to one ofthe campuses in this from the river to
the sea, even though these protestersdon't know which one river, nor do
they have any idea which sea.Uh. If I go to one of
the campuses, they're in the Palestinianarea of Gaza, and I realize that's
(02:14):
a little difficult to accomplish that rightnow, what with a war going on
that Hamas started. If I goto one of those college campuses and I
just start taking a bunch of twoby fours and pouring a concrete foundation,
like, hey, hand me thatrebar, Like, excuse me, sir,
what are you doing? Oh,I'm just building an encampment here right
(02:34):
in the middle of your campus.Do you have permits? Is there any
reason why you're here? No,I just just wanted to start I did
this is I live here now?I just this is where I'm going to
stay, and there's nothing you cando about it. I kind of you
a little curious as to how thatmight go over. As I said yesterday,
(02:58):
though, whether it's U See orColumbia or right here in Nebraska,
I think and I might be prettymuch alone in this feeling. I think
it's hilarious what's going on at thesecollege campuses. Obviously, I'm not a
Jewish student on the campus fearing potentiallyfrom my safety and or life, So
(03:23):
I grant that my perspective is,like most of my perspectives, a little
bit warped. Why do I saythis is hilarious because these indoctrination centers created
these monsters, and then the monstersturned around and attacked their creator. Don't
any of these people ever watch anymovies? Any of them? You never
(03:46):
heard the phrase about something biting thehand that feeds you. Ask doctor Frankenstein,
or if you can't get him,doctor Frankenstein. Ask either of them
how that work out for you.We ate a monster, it attacks you
read a book once in a while. So these indoctrination centers created these little
(04:09):
social justice warriors, these little activists, and said, now go out there
and protest, Like, go outthere, that's a long ways away.
We're already here and some of ourfriends are coming over. We're just going
to protest here. Well, youcan't do that here. I mean,
we trained you to do that,like out there isn't there isn't there an
(04:30):
out there that you can do.So UCLA was the loudest of the problems.
Overnight police showed up there, flashpangrenades heard as hundreds of officers moved
in, started taking down barricades,tents, encampments, and the California Highway
(04:51):
Patrol. Prison buses all rolled in. So when you get these protesters,
you drag them a zip, tietheir hands, and you bring them out
and you put them on the bus. You shackle them on the bus,
and then when this bus is full, you just kind of do a bang
on the front of the bus likeall right, take them out, and
(05:14):
the next bus pulls up and wefill that bus up. You can't decide
that you live to shut down acollege campus. And finally a few of
these universities have realized that. Sothat was UCLA. The encampment set up
(05:40):
inside a building at Fordham University,New York has been cleared as of last
night, and the university has askedthe New York Police Department just to hang
out for a few days just incase any other problems happened. An encampment
went up yesterday at the University ofTexas at Dallas campus and was quickly dismantled
(06:02):
by police. Seventeen people arrested forcriminal trespass and encampment at the University of
Wisconsin Madison aka the University of WisconsinMadison was cleared yesterday morning, only to
see another one established elsewhere on campusas the day continued, but the scene
(06:24):
was generally calm despite the presence ofan illegal encampment. Columbia University finally announced
yesterday yes all finals will be remote. All academic academic activities for schools will
be remote for the rest of theyear, which is two or three weeks.
(06:46):
What a horrible thing to rob peoplefrom. They've reached the end of
the finish line, Scott, that'sredundant. They've reached the finish line in
their college year. Some of thesegraduating seniors their college careers and with the
finish line in sight. Here comethese Antifa protesters just chucking bricks at them
(07:12):
as they're trying to cross the finishline. They can't engage in the final
few yards of this race called collegeinexcusable. Where else we had and I
know, I'm getting to the Universityof Nebraska Lincoln. Didn't I have one
(07:36):
more story of yeah, maybe Idid, maybe I didn't. All right,
So now let's get to the Universityof Nebraska Lincoln. They decided yesterday
it would be a ten hour liberatedZone for Palestine, a liberated zone for
Palestine, Palestine a place without borderwhich doesn't exist. After the liberated Zone
(08:03):
for Palestine, they were going togo out and train and ride some unicorns.
So it was a ten hour liberatedZone for Palestine, a one day
event by some unl students and whateverother people wanted to show up there and
Lincoln and just kind of hang out. Now, these students didn't barricade themselves
(08:24):
inside of a school building. Theyreally didn't do much in the way of
blocking paths. They didn't create aday's long encampment. They showed up.
They had some very colorful signs,and they had a list of demands,
The four Big Devent demands RS follows. Number one, disclose any university investments
(08:46):
into Israel, which it's got tobe easy to do, right, I
mean, don't you have investments mutualfunds of four oh one k? If?
I needed you by noon today tojust find out where each of these
funds go to. I mean,like, well, I've got a fund
here that's a mutual fund. Itgoes to this group and they then that's
(09:07):
diversified and it pays into these differentorganizations. Well, which of those organizations
have ties to Israel? That's gonnado. That's gonna be a little tough
to determine. Yes, it is, and it's asinine. Disclose any university
investments into Israel impossible? And well, I mean with enough time and resources,
I suppose as possible. But howabout this. I'm busy, I'm
(09:31):
running a college campus here. It'sbecause a bunch of skinny gene wearing man
bun having mask wearing and not forthe COVID mask. You know, a
bunch of we want to liberate Palestinebecause you showed up and you're making me
do work. Suddenly I gotta startjumping through hoops and doing work. I'm
(09:54):
busy. I don't have time todo your work. I barely have time
to do my work. Disclose anyuniversity investments into Israel, and then number
two divest from those commitments. Yeah, that would be easier to do if
I could do step one, whichI'm not going to do. Number three
(10:16):
end a UNL sponsored study program thatsends students abroad to Jerusalem. Oh you
don't like that. There might besome students that now see Jerusalem Israel.
This is now. Maybe many ofthese protesters don't realize this. This is
where Jews and Muslims they mix andmingle with a jingle and beat. There.
(10:43):
I just threw in a layer ofChristianity with a reference to a Christmas
song. Tell me I can't coexistlike that bumper sticker. This is where
people go over to the Holy Land, the Middle East roots and not only
from a religious experience, but acultural one as well. It's a fascinating
(11:09):
program. I don't know exactly whichyou know group which study programs would be
studying abroad in Jerusalem, but Jerusalemis I mean you could take Jerusalem out
and you could put Rome, Sydney, Australia. I mean pick a big
city anywhere in the world. Jerusalemis one of those cities. But it's
(11:33):
where the Jews are. Oh,now we're getting a little closer to the
root of these protests. You don'tlike Jews. As I said yesterday,
if there was one single Maga hatwearing guy among them, he took off
his goat skin leggings and put onhis red hat, then the media would
(11:54):
have no problem calling these guys neocons, neo Nazis, antias, you know,
skinhead wanta bee. They'd have noproblem calling them the new Nazis.
But because we don't have any redhats in the group, none of these
people are Trump supporters, then wecan't call them as such. So and
a UNL sponsored study program that goesabroad to Jerusalem, you don't like that
(12:20):
program. Here's an idea. Don'tgo. It's offered, you pay for
it, and then you get approvedfor it, and they put you on
a few planes and you go overthere and you study abroad in Jerusalem.
And you say I don't like that, And I say, well, then
(12:41):
don't go. Please let me knowif I can help you out with any
other life choices. I mean,I've got office hours every day here from
nine to eleven on eleven ten kfaband this advice is free. I wouldn't
pay for it either. The fourdemands we got Number one, disclose any
(13:03):
university investments to Israel. Number twodivest from those investments. Number three in
the study program to Jerusalem. Andnumber four prohibit future acceptance of grants or
funds from Israel, which they don'tknow whether there is or isn't. These
(13:24):
are the four demands that this groupof protesters had for the University of Nebraska
at Lincoln. Now, why weren'tthese demands coming along with an encampment and
pallettes full of bricks and rocks andmolotov cocktails and smoke bombs and guns and
(13:45):
people saying this is a chop zoneand all the rest of this stuff.
Partly from the Chancellor of the Universityof Nebraska at Lincoln, Rodney Bennett,
in a campus wide email that wentout just before their gather and started at
about this time yesterday, he said, we met with the leaders of this
(14:05):
event and we told them, youwill not jeopardize public safety, you will
not disrupt academic activities, and youwill certainly not destroy property. You will
not disrupt campus operations. You wantto stand there and hold your signs,
Stand there and hold your signs.You want to give us a list of
(14:26):
demands. Here we are, butyou're not going to have any tents.
You're not going to form an encampment. I don't even want to see a
guy with a fishing pole and acanteen. If I get any idea anyone's
here to go camping, we're clearingit out immediately. If I see so
much as a hibachi show up there, if I get any indication that if
(14:50):
someone says, hey, I'm goingto be here a while, forward my
mail, we shut it down immediately. Everyone understand that, okay, then
and have at it. So theyhad some chance. They danced a little
bit, they played some music,they handed over their demands with the university
(15:11):
officials said yeah, we haven't reallytaken a look at them yet, so
we don't have any comment on theirdemands, and then after ten hours they
left. Now, partly the Universityof Nebraska Lincoln got this right because they
saw what happens on college campuses acrossthe country by the others who got it
(15:37):
so so wrong, and they managedto head it off at the pass,
nip it in the bud cliche sloganit before it became a problem. Nice
job, Chancellor Bennett and the Universityof Nebraska Lincoln. We'll see if that
holds. You know, here's whatI'm curious about. Some of these universities
(16:03):
have gone to remote learning. Idon't know. I mean, you can
go to remote learning, you stilllive on campus, right, some of
them will still live on campus.Some people choose to say, all right,
I can't sleep. There's flash banggrenades going off all night, and
these people are out there doing theirhippie dance and eating their grilled cheese sandwiches
and chanting all night. I can'tget any sleep, so I'm gonna go
(16:25):
home. I'll do my remote learningremotely. But there'll still be some people
on campus, and certainly the mediais there. As long as the cameras
are there, the protesters will bethere. What would happen if all the
camera's left. Hey, we're havinga protest over here. That's great.
Don't you guys know that Trump isgoing to trial this morning and all the
(16:47):
media just runs over to follow Trumparound. If all the media just left
them alone and they were over theregoing but Palestine, they're like, yep,
yeah, that's great, good luckover there. If everyone just ignored
them. How quickly would this fallapart? For these universities that have not
gone to remote learning. The collegeseason ends in about two weeks, maybe
(17:15):
three for some of them, howmany of these encampments and protests will continue
past then once everyone leaves, onceyou know, the college administrators are getting
in their priuses and waving goodbye tothe protesters, like, hey, if
you guys are still here in thefall, we'll see you then I'll be
back in mid August. And theygo hauling out of the parking lots,
(17:38):
screeching tires, like summer. They'replaying the Alice Cooper song School's out for
Summer. No, I was thinkingpoison, but you know whatever, any
any Alice Cooper song. Uh,And they're they're heading out of there.
These protesters are, you know,banging their their drums and all that stuff,
and like, we're gonna still chamWe're still gonna be here. And
(18:00):
then after three hours they're like,I don't think anyone's coming back. I'm
not gonna stand here for four months. He talking about it, and they
just it falls apart We'll see howmuch they care about these protests when everyone
leaves, when the colleges are shutdown for the summer. If the media
ignored them, we'll see how muchthey care about their cause. Then I
(18:22):
wonder how many of them are goingto go out and protest the Republican National
Convention this summer. Well, that'dbe fun, all right. So there's
the latest on some of the collegeexperience that we have here across the country.
We will revisit this topic here inabout forty minutes from now. Our
(18:44):
friend Kate Anderson, a reporter withthe Daily Caller News Foundation, we be
back here with us. She's beencovering the college protests for the Daily Caller.
Anchel join us in the studio formore on the story. As took
a look at Fox News here onthe TV and says, breaking news,

(21:49):
com. Judy points out these collegeseniors who are missing graduation. On some
of these college campus assists are manyof the same who missed high school graduation
due to COVID. Is that true? Does anyone graduating four you now,
(22:10):
if you graduated high school in twentytwenty, it's possible, I suppose really
get after it. But whether ornot they're graduating, they're missing the end
of the school year and it's backto remote learning for a lot of these
(22:30):
Oh, is there a deadly virus. Yes, it's called entitlement. It's
called pacifying a temper tantrum. Itis a bad disease. The vaccine isn't
pushed by too many people, Butthe vaccine is telling someone who's sitting there
going want I want, I want, and you tell them that's great.
(22:53):
Thanks for letting us know. Youcan't always get what you want. Maybe
Mick Jagger would have told you ifyou'd listen to something, if you try,
sometimes you might get what you need. But you can't always get what
you want. But I want,Yeah, that's great. Thanks for letting
us know. In what world doyou think you get everything you want?
(23:15):
And in what world do you thinkthat fighting with the Los Angeles Police Department
at UCLA is going to change Israel'sstance on fighting Hamas. I don't like
that Israel is fighting Hamas. I'mgoing to ignore the fact that Hamas started
(23:36):
all of this by killing and kidnappingseveral Israelis. Many of these people they
kidnap have yet to be given byYou want to stop this, lean on
Hamas to give back the hostages,and I bet Israel be a lot easier
to work with at that point.But they don't want that. They think
(23:59):
Hamas is perfectly entitled to kidnap anddo whatever with whomever whenever. So the
hostage demands giving back. You won'thear any of that from these protesters.
So I don't like that Israel's fightingHamas. I'm gonna go fight with the
cops on a college campus. Theonly people for whom that math equation makes
(24:19):
sense. So the same people thatsay, I don't like what that cop
did to that guy, so I'mgonna go burn down that starbucks. Judy,
thank you for the email. Thesecollege kids missing graduation the same who
missed high school graduation due to COVIDYEP in some instances Ryan emails. If
(24:42):
you're conservative and giving money to liberalschools, you get what you deserve.
Best way to change is to boycott. Voting with your wallet is way more
effective than the politicians. Also,college is a waste of time and money.
It's an antiquated system in some instances. I mean, I'd still would
(25:04):
like to go to a surgeon who'sspent some time in a classroom. This
email from kl says, you don'tfind it odd that the Holy Land,
which is the epicenter for the mostpeaceful religions ever, has been the scene
(25:25):
of nothing but war and strife formore than five thousand years. In fact,
more conflict has taken place at theepicenter for the religions of peace than
any other ten places on the planetcombined. I do find it odd.
The reason why that continues to happenis because of people. And as long
(25:47):
as there are people over there,and it doesn't it doesn't always matter.
It's people who managed to screw upa lot of really good stuff. Rob
has a similar take to an earlierassessment from Ryan that says, if you
don't like what a business is doing, and a university is a business,
(26:10):
then take your money elsewhere. Yeah. I don't see any of these If
some of these college kids actually goto class at these universities, I don't
see any of them saying, AndI've asked my mommy and daddy to pull
what they've given to this university.You want the university to divest from any
(26:33):
kind of Israel based investments. Well, the reason the university has money is
because your money and Diddy have paidfor your tuition and your room and board.
Presuming some of these honyaks didn't getfull ride scholarships. You know,
any money you're giving the university mightbe going directly to Israel. Why don't
(26:53):
you ask your money deddy to stopgiving money to the university. But they're
not going to do that. Youknow why, because mommy and Daddy might
then say, look, I waspaying for your tuition and your room and
board to go to the school tobe in a classroom and learn. If
you're not going to do any ofthat, where exactly do you think you're
(27:15):
going to go? You've still gota couple of years of college left,
and you're saying I'm a drop outof college because I don't want this dirty
money to go to dirty Israel.Well, then you're gonna have to go
find a dirty place to live becauseyou're not coming home. You supposed to
be in college. Was really topay for your college? You don't want
to go to college. You don'twant me to pay for your college,
(27:36):
fine, good luck to you.We've still got your little suitcase that you
used when you were It was socute little suitcase that we'd put all your
stuff in for an overnight trip tograndma and Grandpa's. And it had like
a little picture of like a kidwalk in, smile on his face,
and it said, go into grandmaand Grandpa's. We'll put your stuff in
(27:59):
that suitcase and we'll give it toyou. That'll be our little going away
present for you, and you cango make a life for your own.
Is that what you want? Youwant to go hang out with your sweaty
friends and their homeless encampment on thesecollege campuses. Now, Shane has a
(28:21):
message of warning from me that says, please, I like you, but
don't have a stroke over these idiotprotesters. It's not going to be a
stroke. I think an aneurysm.I can always feel it throbbing. It's
ready, it's ready, But allright, I'll try and calm down until
(28:44):
Kate Anderson of the Daily Caller NewsFoundation, who's been covering these protesters for
The Daily Caller, joins us hereat ten oh five to give us more
on this story, I might getall worked up again. We'll see.
We have a few more stories here. In the wake of the storm's last
Friday, the funny Farm was badlydamaged. This is what they call their
(29:07):
place there in Shelby County. Thisis as northeast of Minden, Iowa.
The tornado continued and there was alot of you know, ag farmland there
and one big farm where this familylives with about two hundred chickens, ducks,
twenty five goats. Don't tell Christinome, two cows, two pigs,
(29:30):
two dogs. Don't tell Christinome.Five cats, and that's outside. Inside
they got three dogs and a pairof parakeets. All the animals survived except
some chicken and ducks that they said, Yeah, we call it our funny
farm. A lot of animals,but we took a direct hit and people
(29:52):
started coming out of the woodwork topick up the pieces wrangle the animals.
In Blair, there was a womanwho just about a year ago lost her
husband. In March of last year, her husband, Darren, died of
a heart attack, and now ayear later, his widow, Karen,
has lost her house and even thoughher roof was mostly ripped off the house
(30:17):
and all the belongings inside were allstrewn across the county. You know,
was sitting right there in the bedroom, untouched to Lucy. We talked about
this a few times this week.There's always something. Everything's all destroyed except
for one thing sitting there like ithadn't been touched. You know what it
was? Let me guess, andearn and Earn Darren was there his ashes.
(30:41):
Amazing happens all the time, LucyChapman there, I'm Scott Vorhees welcoming
back here into our studios on newsRadio eleven ten. Kfab from the Daily
Color News Foundation. Kate Anderson,good morning, morning, Scott. Thank
you so much for having me on. You just gave me some news I
had not heard yet. These collegeprotesters who are actual college students at these
(31:04):
universities, which is a smaller andsmaller number of these protesters will get into
that in a second. But someof these college students at these universities who
just thought, no, I getto barricade myself in any building or set
up an encampment on any campus.I want some of them, if they
have been or end up being expelledfrom these universities have found a great place
(31:26):
to land. They've got a wonderfuloption, don't they. Yes, they
can go to Iran. So anIranian university said this week that any students
who are expelled from schools because ofthese protests, they will gladly take them.
And I believe the university is theShiraz University and Iran. It's one
of their biggest ones, which Ithink is pretty telling considering it was Iran
(31:48):
who just attacked Israel the other dayless than a week ago. So I
think that speaks a lot to themotivation of Iran and other interested parties.
And I think we have to beaware of that that there are there interested
parties who are pushing these protests.But yeah, it is I mean,
it's largely students and it's faculty whoare instigating all of this. And we're
(32:09):
going on two weeks now. Sonow every college you know, has to
have a marketing department and some saywonderful college life. Some to out their
academic offerings. You want to goto dentistry, you want to go to
medical school, you want to bea lawyer, We've got these great options.
Some talk about the wonderful athletics environmentthey have. So every university has
(32:31):
to have a marketing angle, andthis is just another one. If you
hate Jews and you want to seethem exterminated, well then this maybe is
the university for you. If youcan't get that done at NYU or Columbia
or UCLA, maybe you can goto this university in Iran. I mean,
are they offering full ride scholarships.They didn't give a lot of specifics,
(32:52):
but it was the university president whoyeah, he said he would welcome
them with open arms and talked aboutsome different programs and different things like that.
So you know, yeah, ifyou're if you can't get enough of
your anti semitism across in the US, and you can hop right over to
Iran and I'm sure they will welcomeall the other ridiculous opinions that a lot
of these kids have. That isheavy sarcasm. Fantastic way to go there.
(33:15):
So, in some of your reportingyou've done for the Daily Caller,
Daily Caller Newsfoundation, Dailycoller dot com, Daily Callernewsfoundation dot org, but you
had a report yesterday about Columbia Universitywhere if and I actually wondered this the
other day. How many of thesepeople are out there protesting, have no
(33:38):
idea what's going on here with Israeland Hamas or they talk about Palestine,
the river to the sea, whatever, they're like. You know what,
you know why I'm joining this protestbecause finals are coming up. I have
not studied one bit. I've gota big project to you. I got
to write this thesis and I don'twant to do it. So if I
(34:00):
can just shut down the college campus, maybe I won't have to. After
all, these are college kids nowwho saw a lot of their high school
careers go by the wayside due toCOVID, and now they've just kind of
gotten used to, Hey, ifwe cause enough trouble here, we won't
have to do this work. Sowhat happened to Columbia? Well, at
Columbia, the university announced on Wednesdaythat professors should consider either making the final
(34:25):
exams or final papers projects whatever itwas optional optional, or they should just
cancel them entirely. They're already goingonline for the rest of the semester and
commencements. The commencement ceremony is upin the air. We're expecting to hear
something about that today. Whether they'llactually hold it or not. There's already
a school. I think the Universityof Southern California has already canceled commencement.
(34:47):
And like you said, these arestudents that didn't get a high school graduation.
So I think there are a lotof students who, yeah, probably
like you said, just don't wantto at this point. They're like,
I don't want to do this paper. I don't want to to this example.
There are a lot of kids whomissed getting to walk out there in
high school, and now they're gonnamiss getting to walk out now. And
(35:07):
that's I mean, it's just absolutelyridiculous. If I were a parent,
I'd be demanding my money back.If I were a student, I'd be
demanding my money back. I'd betelling them you better put summa cum laude
on my graduation certificate. Like,yeah, it's a huge problem. Well
can't they just identify as summa cumlaud at this point? I mean,
yeah, pretty much you can identifyas whatever you want now. So all
(35:29):
right, so they if they decideto tell these legions of college students,
yeah, your your final work here, this big project. You have do
this theme paper, you have towrite whatever this thesis. It's optional.
You'll turn it in if you want, don't whatever, there's social unrest on
campus. We got an encampment overhere, so don't worry about that work
(35:51):
that will then propel you to thisnext phase of your life, a potential
career. Boy, I can't waitto go in and be represented by a
lawyer and be worked on by adentist who had his or her final work
at the college optional, which,of course they're idiots if they end up
doing it, and they're idiots thatthey don't. Yes, yeah, they
lose. They lose either way,because they'll lose, you know, in
(36:12):
the public opinion, because there willbe so many kids who are like I
couldn't even attend class because you letall these protesters shut down the entire campus.
So why should I have to dothis final exam if I couldn't even
come to class. But then youknow, they're damned if they do,
because if they if they get ridof it, then you know, then
you have all these kids who aregraduating and they're not qualified. Imagine your
doctor are not taking their final likethese kids. Medical doctors are not taking
(36:36):
their final exams, or lawyers likeyou said, or teachers or whoever it
is, Like, I think thisspeaks to the broader rot in universities in
general. We're just seeing it nowbecause of these protests. But this is
not exactly unheard of. We've seenstuff like this before, and maybe not
quite to this extent. But like, universities are not places of academic rigor
like I think we would like tothink there. Well, we all want
(36:59):
to think that are, especially sincethese aren't. This isn't a protester with
a megaphone at some cruddy, youknow university no one's ever heard of.
This is the provost at Columbia Universitysaying, hey, look, guys,
you know things have gotten you know, ramped up out there. You know,
it's jumped up a notch. Don'tworry about these finals and final exams
(37:22):
and all the rest of this stuff. Make them optional or you know what,
just forget it. Well, theywon't even expel the kids a Clumbia
University. Yeah, they'll suspend them, or they'll talk about suspending them,
or they'll recommend them for disciplinary action. But it's like all these schools,
they're not expelling these kids. It'slike, why would you not? At
this point you've got like at Colombiansome of these other schools, they've been
(37:43):
in camped, taking over university propertyfor two weeks. They've disrupted class student
like Jewish students have been harmed,like they've been harassed and targeted all this
stuff. They're breaking multiple university rules, like why are they not being expelled?
Why are these kids even allowed tograduate? But I bet you they
will, these protesters, they'll beallowed to graduate and they won't care that
(38:06):
they won't walk. And if thereis a graduation, I you better believe
they'll show up and they'll disrupt thattoo, Like if you're under any assumptions
at the university will be able toprevent that. They haven't been able to
prevent them from tent like making atent city like Chaz or Chop or whatever
it was called in the summer oftwenty twenty. So Kate Anderson is with
us from the Daily Caller News Foundation, and it's always great to have Kate
(38:30):
on the program. Tremendous reporting atDailycaller dot com and Daily Callernewsfoundation dot org.
Not sure the difference between the dotcom dot org with these organizations,
but that's that's for you guys todecide at your place of Burt work there,
Kate. But I've been thinking that'skind of hilarious that so many of
these universities create this monster who thenturns around and attacks them. At UCLA
(38:58):
specifically, Jim rows on kfab's MorningNews characterized it as you can get a
degree in activism. Well that's notwhat they call it. It's an undergraduate
degree in education and Social transformation.In the undergraduate major program, you analyze
current issues and education through a socialjustice lens and emerge as effective advocates for
(39:24):
positive change. That's a degree atUCLA. Should anyone be surprised that this
uprising right now is happening on thesecollege campuses? Why take it a step
farther, I'd say it's a degreein anarchy. I mean that's what we
see, and so no, weshould not be surprised. To answer your
question, these kids have been learningthis and this is again, this has
(39:45):
been happening way before last year,covid or, this has been happening for
decades. We're now seeing the fruitof it. I mean, these universities
have been anti Israel, have beensocial justice all this stuff for for decades.
They've just now reaped the fruits ofthat. But like you mentioned,
(40:05):
at the beginning, universities I thinkthought that by endorsing this, putting classes
around it, giving them degrees inthis would then protect them on the back
end. And we've seen now thatno one is safe from these kids who
are very entitled and who think that, you know, their cause is the
most righteous just cause I mean,they think they're unlike the Holy War,
(40:27):
and that's that's the way they're goingat it. And that's why I would
say it's more like anarchy because they'rejust completely taking over and the university is
letting them. They're not doing anythingto you know, stop them, They're
enabling them in a lot of senses. So, yeah, it's going to
get worse, and we're gonna seethis bleed out beyond colleges eventually. Oh
no, UCLA even has an Activistin Residence program where they have activists there
(40:53):
on campus. They pay them seventyfive hundred dollars to be able to to
strengthen the work of the university ingenerating social, racial, spatial and gender
justice. What is spatial justice,I don't know. Maybe that has something
to do with Yeah, safe space. It allows activists to engage with the
(41:15):
UCLA community by connecting with university staff, faculty, and students. This is
an activist in residence program. Sowhen we see these these activists go out
there and begin these protests, it'shard for me to see it as what
they claim it to be when theysay, well, we want the university
(41:35):
to divest from Israel. We're tryingto put pressure on Israel to stop their
atrocities against the innocent Palestinian people.Because I'm seeing faces and I'm seeing themes
that were present in Black Lives Matter, that we're present in Occupy Wall Street,
that we're present in you know,the Women's movement, or the LGBTQ.
(41:58):
It just seems like here's a cause. Now go out there and be
unshowered until we've win this cause,you know it. I don't know that
they have any idea what they're protesting. They just like protesting. I think
some of them do. I mean, some of them have to have some
concept, and I think that's theother thing. But I think they're so
desensitized because they've been so fortunate andblessed, frankly to grow up in a
(42:22):
country where it's peace. I meanmost of them have never been to Israel.
They've never been to Gaza. Theyhave no concept of what that's like.
I mean I didn't. I wentthere a couple of years ago and
being around and having you know,the rocket sirens go off just while you
were doing your everyday stuff seeing youknow, I went and met soldiers and
I you know, talk to themabout what their lives are like. Most
(42:44):
of these kids have no concept ofthat, and so I think for them
they think, you know, thisis truly a human rights issue, but
also they're just they don't even understandthe climate in Gaza. Like so many
of them are like LGBTQ for Gazafor you know, and it's like if
you were in Gaza and you weregay, you would be killed. Yeah,
(43:05):
That's that's how it is. TheHamas. Yeah, yes, and
a lot of them are you know, they're they're cheering on Hamas and it's
like you are the people that Hamashates. They're just using you. You're
a tool. And so it justgoes to show how ignorant they are.
They are kids, they are kidsthat don't know anything, but they are
pushing something that is extremely dangerous andvery harmful to our country and our you
(43:30):
know, political discourse, and toour allies and Jewish students or just students
in general, to learning. Soit's it's just going to get worse if
we don't if we don't curb it. We talked with you in the wake
of October seventh, the attack againstIsrael. You are among the journalists select
for you to see the videos ofwhat transpired on that day, and I'm
(43:52):
not going to ask you to reliveor describe. I think a lot of
people have heard the descriptions, whichthink of some of the worst things you
can imagine. And that's what Katesat through and watching some of these these
videos. If you were to showthat footage to these protesters on the campuses,
would it sink in? You know, I've thought that a lot because
(44:15):
it when I sat through it andI watched, because I was also watching
the reactions of the other people aroundme, and I mean, it was
just horrifying, and you felt sosick to your stomach, and it almost
I remember for me, it almosttook a little bit for it to really
sink in, because you just can'tfathom that level of violence towards somebody else.
(44:35):
It's really hard to picture that fora normal person. But when I
look at some of these these kidsare adults, because there are professors and
you know, individuals in here thatare you know, older than I am.
And I really don't know, becausethere there are people who they just
have so much hate and there isso much real hate here and I don't
(44:57):
I don't know if they would.I think a lot of them if you
gave them the opportunity would be like, absolutely not, they would never go.
And the ones that would, Iwould hope that it would affect them,
But I really don't know, justbecause there's so many things that you
would think of that they would haveseen already. There's so much you can
see online and they saw all ofthat and it did nothing. I would
(45:20):
like to say yes, but Iwish, but I don't know. So
you can read more from Kate Anderson, but just doing an Internet search,
Kate Anderson, Daily Caller and alot of are great reporting not just on
this subject, but on President Bidenin title nine, the abortion issue in
Arizona, and more. Kate Andersonof the Daily Caller, News Foundation,
(45:42):
Dailycollernewsfoundation dot org and a lot ofher work also pops up at Dailycaller dot
com. Thanks a lot, asalways for coming and spending some time with
us. Yeah, I really appreciateit. This is important topic, absolutely
playing backer coming up here just aftereleven o'clock and they did something on their
show yesterday that I've not hurt anywhereelse, And in case you missed it,
I don't want you to miss itagain. So let's relive a moment
(46:06):
of this from yesterday's program right hereon news Radio eleven to ten kfab.
I'm Scott Vorhees by the way fromClay and Buck show yesterday. Wait a
second, Oh, we have somecomments from President Biden. He just issued
a statement. Let's listen in here, peaceful protest, it's against the law.
Descent is essential to democracy, butdissent must never lead to disorder or
(46:29):
to denying the rights of others,so students can finish the semester and their
college education. So that's a littlebit of what we heard a moment ago.
I'll translate, Dissent is essential todemocracy is what he just slurred there.
And can't criticize him too much.I've been tongue chopping my way through
(46:52):
today's radio show. I don't knowwhy. I think it's just because with
the heavy rains and storms overnight,couldn't sleep, and then when I finally
fell back asleep, I fell asleepso hard that I think I'm still partly
still there and probably for the presidenttoo. So dissent is essential to democracy,
(47:14):
but it doesn't mean we need tostart vandalizing, destroying, tearing down,
and all the rest of this stuff. Now, let's compare and contrast
a bit of that statement here forPresident Biden he's a Democrat, to the
statements we heard this week from DemocratMayor of New York City, Eric Adams.
(47:36):
That's what Clay Travis and Buck Sextonwere talking about yesterday on their program
right here on news radio eleven tenkfab. Here's Clay kind of setting up
what they heard from Mayor Adams ofNew York City. The problem here is
there are a lot of professors encouragingthis behavior and telling these kids you need
to be protesting like this, whichled Eric Adams to say, there's a
(48:00):
movement to radicalize young people. Playcut fourteen. There is a movement to
radicalize young people, and I'm notgoing to wait until it's done. And
all of a sudden acknowledge the existenceof it. This is a global problem
that young people are being influenced bythose who are professionals at radicalizing our children.
(48:22):
And I'm not going to allow thatto happen as the mayor of the
City of New York. All right, that's cut one. I want to
play the next one for you too. Buck. Here is Eric Adams,
in particular, speaking to a universityallowing the Palestinian flag to be flying on
campus as opposed to the United Statesflag. Cut fifteen. Another significant part
(48:44):
of the video was at the end, that's how flag, folks, We'll
take over our buildings and put anotherflag up. That may be fine to
other people, but it's not tome. My uncle died defending this country
and these men and women with theirlives on the line, and it's suspicable
that schools will allow another country flagto fly in our country. So blame
(49:08):
me for being proud to be anAmerican, and I think Commission of Daltry
for putting that flag back up.We're not surrendering our way of life to
anyone. That is awesome. That'snot a Fox News host, that's not
President Trump, that's not Sheriff JoeArpaio saying, that's the mayor of New
(49:29):
York City, Democrat Eric Adams,a former law enforcement Yeah, he's a
Democrat. And I know sometimes withseveral listeners here on this conservative talk radio
station, which people who don't actuallylisten to us think all we do all
day is say you're just you know, and I'll tell you another thing about
these Democrats. Sometimes we do that. We do it pretty well, but
(49:51):
that's obviously not all we do onthis program. It would drive me insane.
But you know this is this isthe mayor of New York's City,
a Democrat, saying something that youjust don't hear on a lot of our
move to our own news encampment websites. I mean, the liberal media is
(50:13):
not going to play that. Hestrayed way away from the talking points that
they would prefer to hear. Heto say, so accuse me of being
proud to be an American. That'sour flag, folks. You can't come
on to a college campus. Idon't remember if it was NYU or Columbia
(50:34):
they were talking about. You can'tcome on to a college campus tear down
the American flag and put up thePalestinian flag, not on my watch,
not in my country. That isa Democrat mayor of New York City saying
that the liberal media they're not goingto amplify that message, and a lot
of the conservative media won't amplify itas well. Because a Democrat said it.
Well, like we we don't wantto give him credit for saying that.
(50:59):
We'll just have one of our peoplesay it, and certainly of the
conservative media, their people are sayingit. But there's someone on the other
side of the political spectrum. Iwonder if there's room for him in so
(51:20):
many different encampments in the Democrat Party. I love what he said there.
That's fantastic. And thanks to KlayTravis and Buck Sexton for putting it on
the radio yesterday. Otherwise I didn'tsee it anywhere. I don't know that
I would have heard that anywhere.So hopefully you just heard it twice,
caught it yesterday and heard it againthis morning. Now, what is the
(51:45):
media talking about? Besides everything goingon on college campuses dogs? Some people
decided to link two prominent Republicans,though there are several who are fans of
the governor of South Dakota who aren'treal fans of the where is he from
(52:07):
these days? Massachusetts, Michigan,Utah Mitt Romney Some who would call him
a Republican and name only, butboth Christy Nome and Mitt Romney share one
train. They trade. They've beenin the media related to controversial comments made
(52:29):
about their dogs. Don't you rememberMitt Romney said he went on a family
trip with his dog. By thetime, you know, the late night
comics were done with him, itsounded like this was a cross a hybrid
out of the movie National Lampoon's Vacation. In that movie, the dog was
tied to the back bumper and AuntEdna was strapped to the top of the
(52:52):
car. But remind them that thereality was is that the dog was put
in an airtight can mounted on thetop of the car, where he was
quite comfortable. He was very safe. There was no room for him inside
the car. They had the familytruckster going out in the road, five
kids in their two adults, andwe wanted our dog Seamus to go with
(53:15):
us, and so he was upthere in the kennel. He was fine.
Of course people are like, that'sterrible. So Mitt Romney has been
asked again now about his behavior towardhis dog, saying, well, do
you really feel like you can criticizeGovernor CHRISTI nom, she shot her dog.
I mean you strapped yours to thetop of the car. And Mitt
(53:36):
Romney's like, whoa whooah, noteven the same thing. I didn't eat
my dog, I didn't shoot mydog. I love my dog, and
my dog loved me. Cricket,the dog that displayed aggressive behavior towards people
and animals, was shot on thefarm by a Christy Nome twenty or so
(53:58):
years ago. She says, itjust shows that I can make the tough
decisions, and a lot of people, including Emery Songer here weekday afternoons two
to six on news radio eleven tenkfab saying this is not a tough decision.
You just give the dog up foradoption. Certainly, there are people
that say, I mean a lotof the people commenting on this story don't
(54:21):
know this dog. The only personcommenting on the story who knows the dog
is Christy Noam. I don't knowif she made the right choice or not.
If the dog was aggressive towards people, it was completely untrainable after fourteen
or I saw some stories say eighteenmonths of training and it was still like
this. You know, I'll saythis. I wouldn't want someone to donate
(54:47):
that dog to my family with mykids and say, oh, here's a
real sweet dog. You know,if it's not so Christy Noam says I
hated that dog. I don't know. But Mitt Romney says, not even
the same thing. Don't put mein the same category as Christy. No
(55:09):
many conservatives would say, don't worry, mit, we don't now this other
animal story. I got two otheranimal stories. One involves a guy here
in Omaha. Will sum up withthat one as police are looking for him.
But first we got to get tothis guy. A man in Pennsylvania
is looking for his emotional support animal. Heartbreaking story. You never want to
(55:30):
lose that which gives you comfort,that which guides you through some pretty dark
periods. I'm certainly not making funof emotional support animals in general. Specifically,
though, this guy is hoping thatyou spot his emotional support alligator five
(55:53):
and a half foot long gator.If you think didn't I hear a story
about Yes, he tried to takeit into a film Phladelphia Phillies game last
year, and they said, you'renot bringing an alligator in here. He's
like, but it's my emotional support. Alligator says he he lost it.
He thinks someone took it, anda lot of people have said is this
year alligator and he hasn't been ableto find out yet. So my advice
(56:16):
to him is just go around andcuddle with or hug every gator you see
in whichever one doesn't take off yourhand, well that's your buddy. Good
luck with that. Omaha police arelooking for this animal. A guy who
April twenty fourth, was at abar in Millard, got kicked out twice,
came back and started punching a guyin the face repeatedly before jumping into
(56:37):
a truck and leaving. Suspect,wearing a high visibility shirt may have been
a hoodie, fled off in awhite two thousand and seven Chevy flatbed with
a welder in the back. Earlythirty six foot two, about one hundred
and eighty pounds, no other specificityre Lard it related to anything beyond that.
(56:57):
So if you know a guy thatwould just start punching someone, police
would like to talk to him.Scott Voices Mornings nine to eleven, Our
