Speaker 1 (00:00):
This was a scene on the Brooklyn Bridge in New
York City and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
as pro Palestine anti Israel protesters swarm both locations, blocking
traffic and disrupting daily commutes, and YPD officers on bikes
took a proactive approach on the Brooklyn Bridge, keeping protesters
moving and detaining those in the back one by one,

(00:21):
eventually clearing them from the bridge, where more arrests were made.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
And take a look at this.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
At least one anti Israel protester could be seen with
a Hezbolah flag walking through the streets of Manhattan.

Speaker 3 (00:34):
Hezbola flag to do this, So I'm trying to be
as charitable as possible here. Now you go ahead and
not just do the I'm Hank Kill radio talk show host,
knee jerk idiots, Oh, be delighted to fulfill that role.

Speaker 4 (00:53):
Advocate for the wood shampoo, whatever it takes to clear
our highways, bridges and airports.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
But go on Gandhi with your your your screen.

Speaker 3 (01:03):
So even if the even if you believe no it's
occupied land there in Gaza and Israel's violating you in charge,
just all that stuff that they believe even if you
believe all that, do they not know that Hasibula would
kill them if they had the chance, or Hama.

Speaker 4 (01:24):
That Yeah, this is this is a great illustration of
how ideology blinds people to reality and or their their worldview.
These young, self righteous, angry protesters, their worldview is so
just surrealistically oversimplified. I mean, it's I can't even comprehend

(01:47):
having worldview this dope be that they just default to
whoever has the more power or money is always in
the wrong, whoever has lesson is always in the right.

Speaker 2 (01:56):
And I'll reason backward from there.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
Right.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
So I've said many times, if my dog came to
me with that philosophy, I would make him sleep in
the garage because it's so stupid and so clearly wrong
in many cases.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Again trying to be completely fair.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
If I if I grabbed the average twenty three year
old who was sitting on a bridge somewhere yesterday.

Speaker 2 (02:12):
And hurled them into the San Francisco Bay, yes, no, no, no,
my plan.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
And I had to talk with him and say, look,
we won't even get into the stuff your college teacher
taught you about Goz's occupied land, and it's just a
response to Israel and American imperialism and all these differences.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
I won't even argue with you on that.

Speaker 3 (02:32):
But all of the things you care most about, like,
name them, one by one by one, women's rights, trans rights,
the environment. I mean, geez, where do I end? I mean,
just every one of those things that you care about.
They not only don't care about them, they would murder
you in a savage way for your views.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Yes, now tell.

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Me where you are on this topic. Would they still
be that? Are they unaware of it? And they would
just shout slogans at you.

Speaker 4 (03:07):
The thing about a cult, and we need to finish
Bill Malugin's report, But the thing about a cult is
that you don't take questioning of the cult's premises in
an open minded way and deal with them. You reject
the very questioning as being a sign of that person
being an apostate or an evildoer or a white supremacist

(03:31):
or whatever. You don't even take the question. Let's get
a little more at Bill Malugion than more comment Michael Over.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
In Chicago, another anti Israel protest blocked the entrance to
O'Hare Airport, causing commuters to get out of their vehicles
with their luggage and try to walk to the airport
to catch their flights. Chicago pet confirming a Fox News
at least forty protesters there were arrested as well. Then
in San Antonio and Miami, there were also more of

(03:59):
these anti Israel protests, with more streets being blocked. Police
in Miami telling Fox at least seven protesters were arrested there,
And there was also a small protest at the Port
of Long Beach in California.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
So what are the Is there a message out of
the protest? I was just assuming it's just basically a
don't attack Iran. Israel is more or less announced they're
going to retaliate. We are going to retaliate. Thanks for
the advice on the whole take the wind, but we
are going to retaliate.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
I would just describe it as down with Israel, and
it changes slightly day to day, but it's just down
with Israel. As a guy who's flown in and out
of O'Hare Airport there in Chicago many, many times, dozens
of maybe a hundred, I think I would get out
of the car, take my suitcase and walk right between
the protesters sitting blocking traffic, and if my suitcase hit
him square in the head. My wouldn't that be unfortunate? Again,

(04:53):
we do not encourage violence. This is merely a day
dream I'm having. I just at what point does America
say we've allowed all of this lawlessness and by gully,
look at this, we've got a lot more lawlessness.

Speaker 3 (05:10):
The mistake probably in that statement is saying America, since
we are federalism exists and everything, cities and states are
handling it differently.

Speaker 2 (05:21):
True.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
Great Point, Florida got him out of their fast Brooklyn Bridge,
they got him out of their fast San Francisco.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
They let him sit there for five hours.

Speaker 4 (05:29):
Yeah, yeah, agreed. They're not getting away with this in Sandpoint, Idaho.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
Right.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
So these young idiots, just a very quick comment from
my old buddy, Mike the lawyer. We gave them knowledge.
We gave them more knowledge than we could ever imagine
at their age. But what they don't have, don't care about,
don't even know about, are the three most important things wisdom, experience,
and judgment. They have knowledge without these three critical factors,

(05:57):
and this is what you get. And you're right, it's
our fault. They're too easily manipulated by evil because they
think they know it all and have it all.

Speaker 3 (06:05):
The Islamic Republic is one of the worst governments or
states in modern world history. They're the number one state
export of terror have been my entire adult life. I've
been war with the United States my entire adult life.
They're the ones behind all of this craziness.

Speaker 4 (06:25):
Oh yeah, they're religious fanatics. They're tortures, murderers, rapists, which
you can certainly get to the young woman's audio.

Speaker 3 (06:31):
I didn't even mention that on my list of things
you don't agree with. You hate religion, you think it's
the root of all evil. They're the most religious people
on earth. What are you talking about?

Speaker 4 (06:43):
So do you want to set up the young lady here?

Speaker 2 (06:46):
Right?

Speaker 3 (06:47):
So here's a woman that went viral on TikTok. I
hate that this is true. I think a lot of
the reason it went virals because she's so hot. It's
just the way TikTok works.

Speaker 4 (06:57):
Yeah, but it's irrelevant, I think, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (07:01):
Yeah, I guess. Don't flip your hair. You don't get
so made up and flip your hair and do that
sort of stuff because your message is so important. The
message is so important. She is she's actually a lawyer,
She's born in Iran, raised in Great Britain, lives in
the United States, but has involved been involved in the
protests in Iran around the.

Speaker 2 (07:22):
Whole Hujab thing.

Speaker 3 (07:23):
You know, that woman was beaten to death for not
covering her head, and then there were young people in
the streets all across Iran for a long time, many
of them tortured. Many of them have just disappeared, been murdered.
And she's talking about that. Here she is yesterday. This
there's got a lot of attention. How which equip is
that forty five?

Speaker 5 (07:44):
In what capacity have you distorted the story to make
the Islamic Republic the victim?

Speaker 2 (07:51):
That's that's I.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
Think what we're most curious about. When we were screaming
for the past two years that they were lynching us,
where were you when we were screaming that they were
killing Iranian women for not wearing a huge job? Where
were you when they were lynching Iranian men from cranes
for protesting? Where were you when we were explaining that

(08:15):
this is a terrorist occupying force.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
Where were you?

Speaker 5 (08:19):
But all of a sudden, everyone's graduated from Instagram school
of law to say that this is a violation of
international law, and Iran has the right to defend itself.

Speaker 3 (08:28):
And she keeps referring to the Islamic Republic, which I
think I'm going to start saying instead of Iran, because
the Iranian people, a lot of them are like her,
All those college kids that were in the street protesting
their own government, the Islamic Republic. But so the college
kids there risk their lives to protest one of the
most oppressive governments on Earth. Our college kids are protesting

(08:54):
in support of her evil government, right, and gotta be
mind boggling for her and her friends.

Speaker 4 (09:01):
Well, and as she points out, and it's enough to
enrage you. When those atrocities were being committed against young
people who just wanted basic rights, our college students yawned,
they couldn't be bothered. But now that the oppressor is
oppressing the oppressed, now they're screaming, spit flying into CoP's
faces over this this idiotic.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
Worldview that they have. It's just it's almost worth seeing.

Speaker 4 (09:29):
It's the stuff of Salem witch trials, kind of a
mass hysteria. It's the stuff of the Red Guard in
maoist communist China. It's the stuff of the Hitler youth
it's young people who become swept up in an oversimplified
ideology and become utterly militant, and you're completely unable to
communicate with them on any level.

Speaker 3 (09:50):
Yeah, you have to take in how much energy is required,
like political energy is required to get a mass demons
like we saw yesterday in the United States.

Speaker 2 (10:03):
I guess said earlier.

Speaker 3 (10:03):
We got a text from Eugene, Oregon, where we're on
the air, they block Die five and this was coordinated
all across the country. City's big and small. That's not
an easy thing to do. It's not an easy thing
to organize. And then people have to be motivated enough
to I was about to say, take off work.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
I don't know how many of them had to do that.

Speaker 3 (10:20):
Yeah, wait a minute, put down the bog and unplug
their their PS five or whatever they're doing, and and
actually go out into the street and do this. And
there wasn't that kind of energy when the Islamic Republic
murdered that college girl for not covering her head and
there were protests.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
And raped and beat innumerable other young women. I need
to point out, you know, given the pretty well funded
radical left in America, it's not surprising to me at
all that they managed to organize blocking roads in a
bunch of different cities. I mean, that's that's kind of
that's that's fairly common these days. And I need to

(11:02):
point out that the individual protests, with a few exceptions,
there are more people at a mid level high school
basketball game. This is the radical fringe that is screwing
the rest of us and breaking the law. I wish
this is not some rising up of fifty million Americans,
not even close.

Speaker 3 (11:21):
So I wish I had an idea how many people
agree with them.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
I don't. I think it's very small. I hope you're right.

Speaker 4 (11:32):
In fact, I've got some data on you know, the
nature of online politics and how few people are blasting
at each other on Twitter.

Speaker 3 (11:42):
If it is very small, and I hope you're right,
that's more of an argument for the cops not to
just stand there in the Golden Gate Bridge for five
hours and watch them. If it's just a tiny you
don't let a tiny amount of people disrupt the lives
of the vast majority.

Speaker 4 (11:59):
Them off the bridge, throw them in jail. It's easy.
They violated the law, arrest them and charge them.

Speaker 3 (12:03):
Yeah, they don't do that with it but they, I
said earlier, they don't even arrest actual criminals. You could
balk some old woman on the head with a brick,
she's bleeding in the street, you're not gonna get arrested.
Sort of going to arrest somebody who's got a up
with Palestine flag standing on.

Speaker 4 (12:19):
In my world, yes, absolutely, yes, But I see your
point absolutely, which is why we have been railing against
the new lawlessness for a long time, because it's inevitable
where it leads.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
And here we are, armstrong and
